At the end of June, Yan Xing quelled the Hongnong rebellion, killed Zhang Sheng, and after guarding the Hongnong Taishou with the hussar general's mansion Zhijia Kui and leaving troops to garrison, he led the people back to Luoyang City, but on the way to the march, because of the sudden change in the situation on the east and west, he temporarily stopped in Mianchi, in order to coordinate the military and political affairs from the east and west.

In the military tent, Yan Xing looked at the map hanging on the wall, fell into deep thought, and his subordinates Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Zhou Liang, and Pei Juan stood beside them, silent, each with their own thoughts.

Mianchi, and neighboring Xin'an are both county seats under the rule of Hongnong County, and they are also famous ancient cities in history.

The difference between the two is probably that Xin'an is famous for a terrible massacre, while Michi is famous for a battle of wits and courage.

The meeting of the pond, the brave and resourceful Lin Xiangru and the cunning and domineering King Qin fought wits and courage, the King of Qin forced the King of Zhao to play him, Lin Xiangru forced the King of Qin to fight for the King of Zhao, the State of Qin asked the State of Zhao to offer fifteen cities, and Lin Xiangru asked the State of Qin to offer Xianyang as a gift in return. The alliance was trying its best to maintain the dignity of King Zhao and the State of Zhao, and fought against the tiger and wolf Qin.

In the end, Lin Xiangru fulfilled his mission, Qin and Zhao signed an alliance, and Junchen and others returned to Handan, Zhao safely.

The Si people have passed away, but the city of Mianchi has been famous for hundreds of generations because of the demeanor of a generation of virtuous people.

It's just that when ordinary people praise Lin Xiangru's courage and resourcefulness, they rarely think about such a question: Why does Lin Xiangru dare to coerce King Qin, I'm afraid it's not the blood-boiling "wrath of the horseman, blood splashed five steps". And the tiger and wolf Qin, why would he be extra patient, take a step back, and reach a peace agreement with Zhao Guo, who is neither humble nor arrogant.

If future generations are willing to raise their eyes and have a bird's-eye view of the situation in the world at that time, they may be able to see clearly the meaning behind the persistence and retreat of this alliance.

Qin and Chu are at odds, and Qin has already planned to concentrate all his strength on dealing with Chu State, and has no intention of fighting with Zhao State in Kanto again, Lin Xiangru saw this, and he will rely on it at the meeting of Michi, not afraid of Qin's aggressive momentum, stick to the bottom line of Zhao's interests, and never take a step back.

And the tiger and wolf Qin, if he takes a step back, he will really lose face, but I am afraid that it may not be. Just after the meeting of Michi, Qin Guo, who had freed up his hand from the east, clenched his hands tightly into fists and hit the huge body of Chu State with all his strength.

In the battle of Yanying, the Qin general Bai Qi captured the Yingdu of Chu, burned down the temples and tombs of Chu, occupied a large number of lands of Chu in Jiangbei, and completely defeated the boss Chu State, and since then there has been no strength to compete with Qin.

Detached from his thoughts from the Michi on the map, Yan Xing smiled bitterly, the current relationship between Hedong and Yanzhou is a bit like the Qin State and the Zhao State at the Michi Conference.

At present, the situation in Kansai and Kanto has undergone tremendous changes.

In Guanxi, Ma Teng's army eliminated Zuo Fengyi's Li Dao and Wang Chenghou, returned to Chang'an, built a camp in the area of Baling, and blocked the army led by Duan Xuan, who had just eliminated Zhang Heng in Zheng County and had arrived in Xinfeng.

The army of less than 20,000 people led by Duan Xuan was more than enough to solve the troubles of Li Dao and Zhang Heng, but it was very difficult to defeat Ma Teng's army, which was no less than his own number, and fully control the land of Guanzhong.

In a head-on battle, the Western Expeditionary Army was not fully sure that it would be able to defeat Ma Teng's army, and Duan Xuan, who was heavy on his troops, did not advocate wave warfare, and proposed that a confrontational war of attrition could be used to deal with Ma Teng's army, which had no grain reserves.

In order to rush out troops, Ma Teng's army has no summer grain as a supply of military food, and second, he has given up spring ploughing, and there will be no more grain harvest supplements in the future, and his army completely relies on some grain reserves and captured grain and grass to supply military supplies, as long as the confrontation lasts for more than two months, Ma Teng's army will inevitably be defeated.

This is indeed a complete victory method for the army to surrender without a fight, but it is only applied to the current situation in Guanzhong, but it may not be applicable.

Liu Biao of Jingxiang sent Lou Gui to lead the troops to capture Wuguan, while receiving the exiled soldiers in Guanzhong, and on the other hand, he sent an envoy to recruit Liang Xing, who had seized Lantian, and wanted to use Liang Xing, a person from Guanzhong, to extend the tentacles of Jingxiang into the chaotic Guanzhong, in order to get a piece of the pie.

Jincheng Han Sui, in the autumn high horse fat season arrived, I am afraid that it will also bring a huge Han and Qiang army to intervene in Guanzhong, although Han Sui's Jincheng is not a place of abundant reserves, but the Qiang tribe will bring a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, which will greatly improve the long-lasting combat ability of the Han and Qiang armies, and completely drag Guanzhong into a protracted melee.

Before the arrival of the Han and Qiang armies led by Han Sui, Yan Xing's side must deal with the Ma Teng army blocking Baling, cut off the tentacles of Jingxiang Liu Biao reaching into Guanzhong, completely include the land of Guanzhong and stabilize the situation, and resist the impact of the subway cavalry from Longyou.

For this reason, after discussing with Xi Zhicai, Xun You and others, Yan Xing had decided to transfer another 20,000 soldiers and horses from Hedong and Hanoi counties, commanded by Ganling, and enter Guanzhong in the west, in order to defeat Ma Teng's army as soon as possible, prevent Jingxiang's forces from outside Wuguan, and complete the military deployment of the entire Guanzhong land before the arrival of Han Sui's army.

Yan Xing has decided to clench his two hands into an iron fist, strive for the land of Guanzhong, and crush all the resisting and attacking Ma Tengjun, Liu Biaojun, and Han Suijun.

It's just that Yanzhou, the land of the eastern part of the Kanto, is as fearless as Lin Xiangru, who has seen through the Qin of the tiger and wolf, and even goes even further, and begins to put pressure on Yan Xing in Hedong, wanting to take away the Luoyang court and the young son of heaven without spending a single soldier.

For this reason, Cao Cao pretended to be a tiger and borrowed the military strength of Yuan Shao in Hebei.

At the end of June, the Hebei soldiers and horses chasing the tail of the scorching heat were dispatched from Yecheng, with Chun Yuqiong as the main general, leading Jiang Yiqu, Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang and other generals to lead 30,000 troops to enter the two cities of Ji County and Gongxian County, and played the banner of crusading against the rebels.

Under the tremendous momentum of the Hebei army, Yanzhou dispatched Xiahoudun, Cao Chun, Liu Dai, Liu Ruo, Yu Ban, Li Dian and other generals, with a total of 20,000 horses and horses, from Yuzhou and Yanzhou one after another, and successively entered the jurisdiction east of Chenggao under the rule of Yin in Henan.

In this situation, the Changshi Wang of Cao Cao of Yanzhou once again sent an envoy to Luoyang City.

Originally, Wang Bi wanted to meet Yan Xing in person, and negotiate with Yan Xing on behalf of Cao Cao to sign an alliance proposed by Yanzhou to welcome the Son of Heaven and strike the army and make peace, but this request was directly refused. Yan Xing's reply was that if Cao Cao came in person, then Yan Xing would talk to Cao Cao face to face, and since Cao Cao only sent Wang Bi as an envoy, then Yan Xing would only let his own envoy negotiate with Wang Bi on his behalf.

Yan Xing's refusal was a refusal, but this was just a hard means of both soft and hard, in view of the current situation of fierce troops and huge pressure on both sides of Kansai and Kanto, Yan Xing still softened his attitude and sent Xi Zhicai as an envoy to meet Pei Qian, Wei Kai, Zhou Liang and others in Luoyang City to negotiate with Wang Bi from Yanzhou.

And right now, Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang, who came to Mianchi from Luoyang City, came to report to Yan Xing on the process of negotiation with Yanzhou's envoy Wang Bi.

Xi Zhicai saw that Yan Xing had been silent for a long time, and the atmosphere in the room was also a little depressed, so he had to give Zhou Liang a look, and when the latter saw this, he had no choice but to pout, clear his throat, and began to take the initiative to speak:

"Duke Ming, the envoy of Yanzhou, Wang Biyan, was a little arrogant at the beginning, and brought a letter from Cao Mengde, the pastor of Yanzhou, who said that Cao Yanzhou had been a friend of the hussar general for a long time, and told him to deliver the letter to the Duke of Ming by hand."

"Oh?"

Yan Xing, who was standing with his hands in his hands, raised his eyebrows and said lightly:

"And how do you deal with it?"

Zhou Liang glanced at Xi Zhicai when he heard this, and Xi Zhicai stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Yuan Shan is a person who can speak well, how can he let that king be arrogant, and immediately shot back and said, 'Cao Yanzhou, why should he have a long friendship with God, if he had been a slow step in Bianshui back then, he would have been able to go to the east step of my river and have a good time with the hussar general.' ”

"Hahaha!"

When Cao Cao was defeated in Bianshui, Yan Xing was still under Xu Rong, and Xu Huang was almost about to catch up with the defeated Cao Cao, if Cao Cao hadn't abandoned his horse in time, he was afraid that he would have been captured by Xu Huang's army and become Yan Xing's prisoner.

This is the proud thing of the Hedong soldiers, Zhou Liang used the words of the hidden needle in the mian, counterattacked the arrogant Wang Bi who asked to see, which can be called a wonderful person's witty words, at this time, it was mentioned by Xi Zhicai in person, and everyone in the room laughed when they heard the words, and swept away the previous depressing atmosphere.

"Well said, Wen Chong, tell me, what did he write in Cao Mengde's letter?"

Yan Xing also smiled, and after praising Zhou Liang, he turned to Pei Xuan, the secretary who had already received Cao Cao's handwritten letter, and said half-thoughtfully.

Although Pei Juan was young, he was not afraid at all, and after reading the letter at a glance and ten lines, he immediately closed the bamboo book and said:

Cao Mengde said that he heard that the general went west to the west to recruit three auxiliaries, and the soldiers went to Guanzhong, and he was unable to look eastward, so he originally wanted to make an appointment with Yuan Benchu in Yecheng, hang the people and cut down the crime, command 100,000 troops, and the general would hunt at the foot of the Beibi Mountain. It's just that later I heard that there was civil strife in Luoyang, Hongnong rebelled, and the government and the opposition compared the generals to Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo, but they were afraid that people's words would be terrible, and the general had no intention of hunting, so he gave up. ”

"But thinking of the decline of the Han Dynasty, the general in charge of the government did not help the state affairs, but caused the government and the opposition to rise up and attack it, thinking that the Luoyang court was useless in the hands of the general. The general might as well specialize in the west, and let him welcome the Son of Heaven to Yanyu, so that the two families form an alliance and support the Han family together, wouldn't it be beautiful! ”

"In the end, he has been friends with the general for a long time, if the general also feels the same way, whether this matter is agreed or not, he may as well write a reply in person, and he is waiting for the general's reply in Yanzhou!"

Sanfu chaos, loyal and hungry, and his followers went south to Wuguan. Lou Zibo sent guests from the north to Jingzhou. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
