Chapter 223: Zhang Xiu's Ambition

A lamp is like a bean, Zhang Xiu held a double roll and looked at it in a daze, because Liu Yan raised the butcher's knife to the local wealthy people in Yizhou, because Yizhou was in chaos, and Liu Yan at this time couldn't take care of Hanzhong at all, so he worshiped him as the Taishou of Hanzhong.

However, a small Hanzhong Taishou obviously couldn't satisfy Zhang Xiu's appetite, when he was stunned, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and in an instant, a person dressed in a five-bucket rice sect served by the sacrificial wine hurriedly entered, and said in a deep voice: "Shijun, the leader of the people, Du Hao, the seven surnamed Yi Wang Puhu and Yuan Yue of Bajun ask to see." ”

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Wei and Jin dynasties, the southern ethnic minorities were unified and generally called barbarians, but they were subdivided into several ethnic groups, such as the Shu people, the Yu people, and the Ba Yi people, among which the Ba Di and the Lei Shu and Lei Body Brothers were in the same vein, but the number of people was dozens or even hundreds of times more than the Yin Ping Di people.

Zhang Xiu looked overjoyed, and said loudly: "Please come in." ”

In an instant, the sacrificial wine led the barbarian leaders Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue, who were dressed in animal skins, into the room, and the three of them saluted Zhang with the rites of the barbarians, and then everyone sat down as the guest of honor.

Yuan Yue, the leader of the barbarians, was the most anxious, and as soon as he sat down, he said impatiently: "Lord Shijun asked me to come, but I am ready for a counterattack?" ”

In this era, the Han people and the barbarians were hostile to each other, Liu Yan had repeatedly sent people to conscript the barbarians, Ba Yi and other barbarians to occupy their land, because the barbarians hated Liu Yan and him, and Zhang Xiu since he was appointed as the teacher of Wudou Mi, but he treated the barbarians equally, because most of the barbarians believed in the Wudou Rice Religion, and the living environment was becoming more and more difficult Barbarians, most of them moved into Hanzhong.

Zhang Xiu saw that Liu Yan had no time to take care of Hanzhong, so he secretly contacted the migrating barbarian leaders under the pretext of counterattacking Liu Yan, and the two hit it off, and Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others came to meet.

However, at this time, Zhang Xiu obviously didn't want to attack Liu Yan, don't look at the rebellion of the Yizhou Hao clan, Liu Yan was busy, but Zhang Xiu knew Liu Yan's methods, and the Yizhou Hao clan was definitely not his opponent, so he frowned slightly when he heard the words, waved his hand and said: "Leader Yuan, don't worry." ”

After saying this, Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Your leaders have lived in the Southern Barbarians for a long time, and they must have a deep understanding of the poor mountains and bad waters in the Southern Barbarian Land, I don't know if you intend to migrate the people into the Central Plains?" ”

"Entering the Central Plains?" Du Hao, the leader of the people, gently stroked his chin and beard, and said in a deep voice: "What does Shijun mean by this? ”

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "When there is a big chaos today, Dong Zhuo in Xiliang is in trouble, the world is swarming, and the heroes of the Kwantung region form a coalition to conquer Dong Zhuo, and now they are fighting in the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo will definitely have no time to go west, how about this master Jun intends to make an appointment with the barbarian kings to take Wudu County?" ”

"Wudu County is the gateway between Xiliang and Yizhou, and you can drive directly into Xiliang if you capture Wudu County." The leader of the Ba Yi, Pu Hu, laughed and said, "What good will it do to us if Shijun uses our clansmen to capture Xiliang?" ”

"Rest assured, Leader Park, this master and all the barbarian kings jointly sent troops to Wudu County, in order to let you have a place to live, and this master will never station a single soldier in Wudu County." Zhang Xiu shook his head and said with an oath.

Although Wudu County is not big, it is an important gateway to Yizhou in the south and Xiliang in the north, and at the same time, Wudu County is a rare fertile soil in the poor mountains and bad water environment in the west.

"After the leaders of this division help the leaders capture Wudu County, there is only one condition." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

Pu Hu and Du Hao exchanged glances, and said in a condensed voice: "What conditions?" ”

Zhang Xiu glanced at the three of them, and said slowly: "This master will help you and others to capture Wudu County, I hope you can send troops to help this master capture Chang'an!" ”

Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue lost their voices at the same time: "Capture Chang'an City, the important land of the three auxiliaries? ”

Either Zhang Xiu is crazy, or they themselves are crazy, Chang'an City is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, for more than 100 years, the emperors of the past dynasties have continuously strengthened the city defense, and now although the capital has moved to Luoyang, it is also one of the most difficult cities to capture for hundreds of years, Zhang Xiu actually said to capture Chang'an City?

In fact, the capture of Chang'an City seems crazy, but if you think about it, it is not impossible.

"Don't be alarmed, everybody." Zhang Xiu said solemnly: "Although the walls of Chang'an City are strong, it has not suffered from soldiers for a hundred years, and the armament will inevitably be relaxed, one of them. And it is precisely because Chang'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, that the soldiers defending the city must be arrogant, and secondly. And Dong Zhuo would never have expected us to suddenly attack Chang'an, this is the third. Hanzhong has a shortcut to Meridian Valley in Chang'an, no one knows, and these four are also. ”

After saying this, Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "With these four, do you think Chang'an is desirable?" ”

The three barbarian leaders were obviously still hesitating, discussing in barbarian language, and finally agreed to Zhang Xiu's conditions, Wudu County was still attractive enough for them.

In 190 AD, in late March, when Zhang Xiu assessed the civil strife in Liu Yan, he fornicated with barbarians to attack Wudu County in Xiliang, and Zhonglang General Dong Yue who was stationed in Wudu County received information that he ordered people to strengthen the city defense as soon as possible, and sent people to Luoyang to inform Dong Zhuo.

。。。。。。

On the other hand, the Kwantung coalition army attacked Tiger Pass, because Lu Bu beheaded dozens of fierce generals of the Kwantung Army with the will of the god of war, which led to the low morale of the coalition army, and the only cavalry in the coalition Gongsun Zan returned to Youzhou, the original firm confidence of the princes from all walks of life slowly disappeared, and various rumors spread in the army.

Immediately after that, the Xiliang army suddenly attacked at night, and the princes from all walks of life panicked, such as Yuan Shao, Liu Chong, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Tao Qian and other powerful princes were better, and for those small princes who were weak and had no elite soldiers, the losses were quite serious, and there were many people who trampled on each other.

After the sage, Kong Rong educated the people or it could be said that it was easy, but the march and battle were difficult, and the death of Wu Anguo, the fierce general of the North Sea, was killed by Lu Bu, and the casualties of the North Navy were the heaviest.

However, fortunately, the Kong Rong camp is relatively close to the Baibo army camp, and the military discipline of the Baibo army is needless to say, and Zhao Yun, Chen Jun, Chu Xing and others are also good generals.

After the enemy retreated, and the princes of all walks of life pacified their own soldiers, the sound of the war drums of the coalition army resounded in the sky, and the princes of all walks of life came to the camp to converge.

Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, sat on the main seat with a pale face, the coalition army was already demoralized, and now it was attacked by the enemy at night, which was even worse, so his cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said sharply: "Who was in duty last night?" ”

"It's the main turn of the league to keep vigil!" Yuan Shao's voice fell, and Yuan Shu also said in a cold voice with an iron face.

Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, how could he not know who was on duty, and asked questions in front of everyone, but it was just to show his impartial law enforcement, and the march and combat have always paid the most attention to the safety of the battalion, and the night attack is the most likely to cause the death of soldiers, and it is even very likely to cause the howling camp, so the princes with relatively weak coalition forces are often on duty with combined forces, and only the princes with stronger forces will carry out alone.
