89, Luoyang Insight 8

While Yan Xing was looking at Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan was also secretly observing this Yan Xing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There is no doubt that the first impression that the burly and tough-looking Yan Xing gave Cao Yuan was that he was the same as the border soldiers he had seen in the past who guarded the border areas and fought with Qianghu, he was a warrior who was good at fighting and fighting, but as the exchange gradually deepened, he also began to admire this soldier from Dong Ying.

If it is just brave and good at fighting, Cao Yuan may praise the other party's martial arts, but Yan Xing is not only brave and brave, but also quite talkative, the two also talked about many methods of governing the army and soldiers, although Cao Yuan is not from a strong family, but he is also a good family member in the army, he is young and good at fencing, likes to talk about military affairs, plus after joining the army, he lives in the Northern Army, and some veterans of the Northern Army also have a lot of contact, and his attainments in military affairs think that he has made a lot of progress, but after talking with Yan Xing from the Dong military camp in front of him, Soon I felt that the other party was also a chest armor soldier, and although the theoretical speech in some military management was shallow, it was concise and easy to understand, and it was often able to hit the nail on the head, and at the same time, the other party's bearing was more like an elite man who had experienced a hundred battles, and his attainments in military affairs were better than his own.

As the conversation deepened, Cao Yuan took the time to look back at his two military comrades, only to see that they were also chatting happily with Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others, and Zhou Liang, who was dressed as a scribe on the other side, also occasionally took time to illustrate there, and it was not too embarrassing to talk about a sentence or two.

So when he turned back again, Cao Yuan glanced at Yan Xing, who had an extraordinary bearing, and suddenly remembered the war in his hometown of Hedong, so he tentatively asked:

"Yan Jun, I don't know if you are in the army, have you heard of the war in Hedong?"

Hearing the other party ask about the war in Hedong, Yan Xing thought for a moment and quickly nodded. He has a good relationship with Xu Kun in Xu Rongjun, and he can also hear a lot about the current trend from him. After the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu, the imperial court was hesitant to fight or Fu the Huns, and Yu Fuluo, the right virtuous king who was unwilling to transfer his people and worked for the Han Empire, was killed by his father Shan Yuqiangqu and expelled by the rebellious Huns.

Resentful and dissatisfied, he entered the Central Plains Yufuluo, and while hating the Han people for their treachery and abandoning their own family, they also found that the Han Empire was already full of wars, and there was no time to meddle in the internal affairs of the Southern Xiongnu. So he also began to lead the remnants of the Hun cavalry, began to raise the flag to rebel against the central court, and plundered the prefectures and counties everywhere.

The leader of the Baibo Army is a reckless thief who rises in the Baibo Valley in Hedong, the leader is a man named Guo Da Luocao Haoqiang, also known as Guo Tai, nicknamed Guo Daxian, and the self-proclaimed "generals engaged in" Zhang Niujiao are similar, pretending to be the name of the "great sage and good teacher" of Zhang Jiao, who has died, gathered a large number of wanderers, grass robbers, and yellow turban remnants, they took advantage of the civil strife in the imperial court, had no time to discuss, relying on their own geographical advantages, wandering in Hebei, Hebei, Hedong and other places, the states and counties were too busy to take care of themselves, and they were powerless to exterminate. And they either attacked the dock fort, or plundered the head of Qian, and gathered and merged, on behalf of the horses, plundered the salt and iron in the east of the river, the power is getting bigger and bigger, after getting a part of the Hun cavalry, it is like a tiger with wings, the momentum is violent, Dong Zhuo led the troops stationed in the east of the river when it was okay, although Bai Bo and the Huns were raging, but they did not dare to be too presumptuous, but since Dong Zhuo led the troops away, Bai Bo and the Huns had no fear in their hearts, and began to let go of the city in Hedong, so that a river is separated. The Jingshi of Luoyang, who was in Henan, also felt the threat of his henchmen.

Yan Xing knew that Dong Zhuo's group was originally able to occupy the center of the court by virtue of the advantage of strong soldiers and strong horses, and the biggest reliance of this group was the elite soldiers and strong generals from the border, so if this group wanted to expand its political advantages and Dong Zhuo wanted to consolidate the power he had gained, he had to use his elite soldiers to fight a few exciting victories to consolidate their position and power, and even go further.

And to establish the prestige of the new imperial court represented by Dong Zhuo, the opponents selected in this battle are very important, too weak to fail, such as the Xingyang Yellow Turban exterminated by He Miao and the Runan Yellow Turban that Bao Hong leveled, all of which are insignificant local thieves, as soon as the imperial army arrived, it immediately turned into powder, and it did not show the strong strength of the imperial court after Dong Zhuo took power. And it's not good if it's too strong, such as the Wuhuan in Youzhou, the rebels in Liangzhou, and the Huns who frequently invade the border, all of which are stubborn enemies that are deep-rooted, dead but not stiff, not to mention whether Dong Zhuo's current strength can defeat these big enemies, once the situation of the war is delayed for a long time, the central imperial court, which is already on the verge of collapse, will immediately collapse.

Therefore, this represents the first battle of the new imperial court, it is very likely that the choice of the Baibo Army, the thief soldiers who ravaged Hedong, and the part of the Hun cavalry that are wandering and doing evil, first, Hedong and Henan Luoyang are only separated by a river, if this kind of henchman is not solved, Dong Zhuo will not be stable even if he sleeps on the dragon bed in the palace, and secondly, because Hedong is close to Luoyang, he sent troops from Beijing, with the elite of Liangzhou soldiers and horses, he will be able to wipe out the thieves in the tenth month, Lubu will be victorious, and return to the dynasty in triumph, and the authority of Dong Zhuo himself, who is in charge, will be entrusted to the authority of Dong Zhuo himself. Firmly sit in the position of the first important minister in the court.

"Hedong Baibo is raging, and there are Huns as a servant, it is really a problem for the henchmen of Luoyang Kyoto, and there are indeed rumors in the army that the captain is ready to send troops to fight and defend Kyoto!"

From Yan Xing's mouth, he learned that the princes of the dynasty did have the intention to march into Hedong and pacify the thieves, and Cao Yuan, who was a native of Hedong, also looked north by his sword, and his eyes seemed to have crossed the Luoyang City and Beibi Mountain, crossed the surging eastward river, and entered the land of Sangzi in the east of the river, where there were white wave thieves and bandits, and there were Hun enemy chieftains who were burning and killing and plundering.

He joined the army from Rong and entered the Northern Army for several years, knowing that in the early days of the strong national strength of this dynasty, the five schools of the Northern Army have always been the sword of the country and the shield of the country, and every time there is a large-scale war in the place and border, the elite men and horses of the five schools of the Northern Army are all recruited to the places where the war is most intense, and the elite of the Northern Army who repair my spear and have the same enmity with the son can often defeat the enemy and return triumphantly.

It's a pity that the world has changed now, and the foreign soldiers and horses of Liangzhou are mainly anti-guest, occupying the center of the court, and these five schools of the Northern Army, which were originally soldiers of the forbidden army, were instead stabilized by the Qin Hu soldiers of Dong Ying, and the soldiers and horses of the state, although they were also appeased by Dong Zhuo, the minister of the dynasty, but they were sandwiched between the two border armies in the past, how aggrieved and helpless they were in this day, it is really difficult to describe.

That's why Cao Yuan pressed the sword to look north, and sighed:

"As a soldier of the forbidden army, if you can't defend Kyoto, you will be disappointed by the grace of heaven and discard this armor, as a person from Hedong, if you can't protect Sangzi, what kind of face will the kite have to go back to his hometown to see the villagers and elders, I hope that the soldiers of the Northern Army can get the edict as soon as possible, and let the sword on my waist be able to drink the blood of the Huns!"
