Among the princes of the 22nd Route of Kanto, Gongsun Chan was not the most powerful. In terms of power, it is only above average.

The strength here is not only a military concept such as military strength and bravery.

The sum of a series of economic and people's livelihoods, such as the size of the land, the population, the situation of money and food, etc. Youzhou is a bitter and barren place, which is not much different from Liangzhou and Bingzhou. At the same time, because of long-term harassment by foreigners, he is very weak in all aspects. And Yuyang, where Gongsun Chan is located, has just experienced a war, and at the same time, his own foundation is also very poor.

can be rated as medium, more because of the strong combat effectiveness of the white horse Yicong.

As soon as Gongsun Chan died, the fall of Baima Yicong also officially announced the complete disintegration of the princes' alliance.

Yuan Shao and Liu Yu reached an understanding, but it did not mean that the princes also understood each other. With Liu Yu occupying Yuyang, the struggle between the princes also began.

Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, one of the princes of the Twenty-two Roads.

After borrowing grain from the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun to no avail, he had a murderous intent and invited Qiaomao to the Yanzhou Mansion to discuss matters.

Qiao Mao really went!

Call him stupid? Qiao Mao is not stupid at all. But Yanzhoumu's place of governance is in Changyi, Shanyang, which is also under Cao Cao's rule. In Qiao Mao's opinion, Cao Cao would definitely not let Liu Dai mess around, so he went to the banquet with a big grin.

Cao Cao will not wade into this troubled water.

In terms of official position, Liu Dai is his superior and cannot afford to offend.

Affectionately speaking, Qiao Mao has nothing to do with him at all. At that time, the princes would join the alliance, Cao Cao supervised the middle of the army, and Qiao Mao went out with the North Route Army, to be precise, it was Yuan Shao's people. Yuan Shaogang coerced Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao ignore it?

Under the pretext of patrolling, on the first night of Qiaomao's arrival, he left Changyi with his subordinates.

The area of Shanyang County is very large, and it will take at least ten days and half a month to go out to inspect Tuntian and observe the people's conditions. That is clearly to tell Liu Dai: You are my boss, I don't agree with what you do, but I won't go along with you.

In fact, Liu Dai also needs Cao Cao's attitude.

Cao Cao's fame is too great, and there are many fierce generals and strategists under him, and he really doesn't dare to trouble Cao Cao easily.

Now, Cao Cao went out to inspect with a very good eye, and Liu Dai let go of his hand.

The next day, when Qiao Mao arrived in Changyi, as soon as he walked into the city gate, he was swarmed by the ambush soldiers arranged by Liu Dai and hacked to death with a knife.

Of course, Liu Dai can also wait for Qiao Mao to enter the mansion before making a move.

But in that case, Qiao Mao will definitely find that Cao Cao is not in Changyi, and there will be trouble if he does it again.

In this way, after Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, he immediately announced it to the world, and then transferred the administrative office from Changyi to Dongjun.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with this.

"As soon as Liu Yanzhou leaves, the lord no longer needs to worry about being held hostage!"

In the Yazhong of Kangfu County, Guo Jia shook the white silk fan and said with a smile: "In this way, I can prepare for the second step." ”

Cheng Yu immediately ordered someone to get the map and hang it in the center of the lobby.

"Jibo sent someone to deliver the letter, and Manzhong had promised to return to the lord, and Guan Hai entered Qingzhou and gathered people...... It's just that from Shanyang to Qingzhou, you have to pass through the Lu country, and to go to the Lu country, there is a Rencheng country in the middle. If you want to take Qingzhou, you should first take the Lu country, and if you want to destroy the Lu country, you need to sweep away the Rencheng State first, and the lord can no longer hesitate. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said: "I also know this, Ren Chengguo is not worried, but he can order Yuan to lead a group of men and horses, and the ten days will be pacified." But this Lu country ...... When to capture? After all, Lu is a fiefdom of the Han family, and you can't raise an unknown teacher in vain. ”

Guo Jia smiled, "What's so difficult about this?" The lord only needs to write to the imperial court, saying that to pacify the bandits in Qingzhou, it is necessary to pass through the Lu country. When the time comes, we ...... Hehe, the lord has forgotten about the false way to destroy the world, and it can be used as a reference. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Yes, the lord can take over the Lu State and treat the Han clan well, and the court will have nothing to say." As for us, we can also occupy the righteousness, and it is logical to bring the Lu State under the rule of Shanyang County, wouldn't it be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone? ”

"But what will the others think?"

"Yuzhou has no leader so far, and it is in chaos. Runan is plagued by bandits, and Yingchuan is even more rogues...... And Xuzhou, I heard that Yangzhou Mu Qinjie was seriously ill, why not provoke Tao Qian and send troops to Yangzhou. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, this time guarding Jingzhou, thanks to Qin Jie's help. Tao Qian sent troops, Liu Biao will definitely not sit idly by, and the three states will inevitably fight at that time. ”

Cheng Yu couldn't help but gasp and looked at Guo Jia.

No wonder Xi Zhi recommended this person, in a moment, there was such a plan, this Guo Jia really deserves the name of a ghost.

The title of ghost talent was said by Xun Yu by accident.

Cao Cao was even more full of spring breeze, and praised again and again: "Fengxiao's plan is really wonderful!" ”

Guo Jia said again: "Taking advantage of the chaos in Sanzhou, the lord will base himself in Shanyang and take Qingzhou first." Then return to Yanzhou, calm down, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, when the three states are both defeated, take advantage of the situation to march into Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and attack Jingzhao into a pinch, and then Jizhou can be determined...... As for Yangzhou Qin Jie and Jingzhou Liu Biao, they are not to be afraid. If the lord is worried that they are powerful, he can ask the Jiaozhi scholar Lujiang to guard ...... How could Qin Jie watch the Shi family enter his Yangzhou territory? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he applauded and laughed.

"I have filial piety, and then I don't have to worry about it."

Guo Jia is still calm and calm, and on that delicate face, he can't see any thoughts in his heart.

His gaze was fixed on a point on the map, and he thought to himself: Senior brother, I have already made a move, what should you do?

******

Dong Li couldn't help but sneeze and put down the wooden hammer in his hand.

**On the shoulder, sweat refracts light in the sun. It has been three months since I came to Anding, and seeing that it has entered August, the Central Plains is only slightly chilly at this time, but it is already a little cold.

The sun was shining, but it was also cold.

Dong Li took the towel from Dianman's hand, wiped the sweat off his body, and wrapped himself in a robe.

"Second uncle, what are you doing by smashing iron stakes with a wooden hammer all day long?"

Dian Man asked in surprise, but Dong Li smiled and did not answer. Dianman is different from him, it is a piece of intestines that leads to the end.

So to teach him to use a hammer, he must go slowly.

In particular, Dianman's recent military drills have gradually reached a bottleneck. As long as you can break through, you can comprehend the mystery of lifting weights. If you tell him something else, it will inevitably distract him.

Sometimes, knowing too much can become a burden.

That's the case, at least for the pawns......

"Xiaoman, have you finished your homework today?"

When Dian Man heard this, he shook his head lightly and said with a bitter face: "Second uncle, can you not do your homework?" Every day I listen to Mr. Hu's lectures, I am sad to death. You also want me to practice calligraphy, do you look at my hand, is it a hand that can practice good words? ”

Mr. Hu is the Hu Zhao recommended by Yang Biao and Huang Wan.

This Hu Zhao is really a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, not to mention, and his temper is very weird.

After being forcibly tied to Anding by Yan Ming Shi Lian, he was neither noisy nor noisy, and actually painted a portrait of Dong Yan and hung it on the wall of his residence.

Every morning, when I get up, I take a stick and beat the portrait.

At dinner, he threw a small arrow at Dong Li's portrait, and every time he was in the middle of the painting, he would drink a little wine.

When he was drunk, he pointed to the portrait and cursed.

At the beginning, Dian Wei and the others were extremely angry, and Shamoke had several times carrying a sword to kill Hu Zhao, but was stopped by Dong Li.

couldn't kill Hu Zhao, so Shamoke went to scold Hu Zhao.

Poor Shasha has never suffered such a painful thing in her life. He scolded and scolded just a few words, but Hu Zhao sat in the hall, took a sip of wine, replied with a scolding, and scolded from noon to evening, without repeating a word.

And swearing does not carry dirty words, and from time to time he also cites scriptures.

The most common phrase is, "Go back and read the book, and then come back." ”

Each time, Shamoko was scolded for hiding his face and leaving. But the next day, he must have run over and continue to scold, and then hide his face and leave.

In this way, day after day, it has become a common meal in the Han'an Metropolitan Protectorate.

Fifty days of scolding, Shamoko did not win a single victory. The only gain is that the skin is getting thicker and thicker, and the level of scolding is getting higher and higher.

Dong Li just let it go, sometimes Shamoke and Hu Zhao scolded each other, and he and Dian Wei would listen to it on the side.

In Dian Wei's words: Long learning, too fucking long learning. No wonder Sha Sha has been sharp-toothed recently, with this pot of old wine at the bottom, who else is he afraid of?

Actually, is Dong Li angry or not?

If you don't get angry, that's weird. That Hu Zhao scolded people very badly, it was a turn and hurt people, and even with the eighteenth generation of Dong Li's ancestors, he could greet him one by one unconsciously. Several times, Dong Li was really murderous.

But Yang Xu's words made Dong Li's heart move.

"Wu Zhonghou, you use your strength first, Kong Ming is now with you. If you kill him, you will not only give him a good reputation, but you will also bear the infamy of being a wise man. Wu Zhonghou, have you forgotten what you said about the day? There are some people like this, the more angry you are, the happier he is, you ignore him, and when the joke is heard, he can't scold himself, and it will naturally stop. Hehe, but this guy is really scolding wonderful, and the old man plans to let my dog listen to it and see it for a long time...... Wu Zhonghou, this is an opportunity to test your patience. ”

Damn, your son is knowledgeable, but I'm going to be scolded next to me.

However, Yang Xu's words made Dong Yan angry. Sometimes he also dragged Cai Yan to listen together, giggling as if nothing had happened.

This lasted for two months, and Hu Zhao was tired of scolding!

One day, Wen Ji led the three-year-old Dong Ji past Hu Zhao's door, and Hu Zhao seemed to have discovered a new continent, which aroused interest.

I pulled the two children, recited the poetry for a while, and explained the book for a while.

This Hu Zhao's knowledge can be described in four words: Bogu Tongjin. Under the influence of Cai Yong, Wen Ji was already good at poetry and songs, and even wrote good words that made Dong Li feel ashamed. This time, it can be right for Hu Zhao's appetite. And Dong Ji, don't look at being only three years old, but he likes to listen to Hu Zhao explain stories such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Policy.

In Hu Zhao's words: "The erector is unjust." ”

It doesn't matter if he's righteous or not, anyway, Dong Ji just likes to listen to it......

So every day, I asked my sister to take him to listen to stories, and even with him, he also learned the Book of Poetry, Chu Ci, and could recite one or two poems.

This soon became known to the other children in the Metropolitan Protectorate.

From the 14th Five-Year Plan to the 14th Five-Year Plan, and as small as Dong Ji, they all ran over and shouted to hear the story.

Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu, Liu Wang's two daughters......

A group of children blocked Hu Zhao's residence every day, chirping, so that Hu Zhao could not have a moment of peace.

Later, he simply began to lecture, and it was a very serious lecture.

If you listen well and answer well, you can listen to him tell the stories in the Spring and Autumn Historical Records.

Dong Li was very much in favor of Hu Zhao doing this, and even sometimes let Cai Yan's three daughters listen to Hu Zhao's lectures outside.

He won't take the initiative to go over!

Hu Zhao doesn't want to see him, and he doesn't want to see Hu Zhao.

When two people meet, they will quarrel if they don't get it right. In a fight, Dong Yan can top ten of one and scold people, Hu Zhao can top a hundred.

Hearing Dian Man's request, Dong Li pondered for a moment and said softly: "Xiaoman, Mr. Kong Ming is a good gentleman, he has a lot of knowledge, and it is a good thing to be able to learn from him." Hugh wants to be a reckless man with developed limbs and a simple mind, and your father still regrets that he is illiterate and can only fight and kill all his life. I know that if you want to be the enemy of all people, you should cherish it. ”

Although Dian Man was reluctant, he also knew that what Dong Li said was reasonable.

"I listen to the second uncle!"

Dong Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Obedience is a good boy......"

"Second uncle, I heard my father say yesterday that you seem to be preparing to send troops?"

Dong Li was stunned, bit his lip, and nodded lightly, "Yes, it's almost time to send troops." Wen Hou's soldiers went out of Liangshan and clashed with Hu several times, winning a complete victory. And I'm still here...... Hehe, it's time to kill his majesty. Lu Fengxian, who is in the province, always thinks that he is the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in the earth, so he should let him know that there is a sky outside the sky. ”

Dian Man didn't understand the meaning of Dong Yan's words.

All he knew was that there was going to be a war, and he could be useful!

"Second uncle, this time you send troops, take me with you."

Dong Li looked at Dian Man, and Dian Man also put on his toes, held his chest up, and showed Dong Li that he had grown up.

Dong Yan didn't answer, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoman, how old are you this year?" ”

"Thirteen, I'm already thirteen!"

Dong Li stroked the melon seeds of the manman, and had a feeling of old age in his heart. Six years have passed in the blink of an eye!

Six years ago, he met Dianman.

At that time, Dianman was still a small one, but now he is more than seven feet tall.

When I was thirteen years old, my eldest sister ......

The hatred that had been pent up in his chest for seven or eight years suddenly rushed up.

Dong Yan had a gloomy face, wrapped in a robe, and strode towards the meeting hall. Dianman didn't know what was going on, but he could see that the second uncle's face was gloomy and scary, as if he was going to kill someone, which made people feel a little chilled.

After a while, the drums of the Han'an Protectorate Gathering General sounded.

Dian Wei, Shamoke and others rushed to the conference hall one after another, only to see Dong Yan wearing a black robe and sitting on a handsome chair.

"How is the training of the armies?"

Ban Yan stepped forward and said: "My lord, under the Han'an army, there are now eight battalions. If you add 5,000 slaughter horsemen, and the trolls and back-to-back troops under the command of the lord, a total of 14,300 people. Grain, grass, soldiers and horses, can be sent at any time. ”

"Where is Mi Fang?"

"Whoa!"

"The armor and weapons that were escorted from Longxi earlier can be equipped with all the armor and weapons that were sent to the Beiwei army. Koji Yi, you have ten days, and I need the Bearer Army to familiarize themselves with their equipment and wait for my orders. ”

That batch of armor was a heavy weapon specially created by Zhangye in accordance with Dong Li's requirements for the Beiwei army.

Since Wuwei was now occupied by Ma Teng, Zhang Ye's use of weapons could not be as convenient as before.

However, no one knows the existence of this army of soldiers and horses, even if it is sent to Anding, it is under the banner of Longxi.

Koji Yi has seen that set of equipment, haha for a long time!

Now that I heard that it could be equipped, I was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, after ten days, please review the ......"

"Is there any news from the Northland and Stone City?"

From Wenchen's side, a young man stood out, about the same age as Dong Li, with a very delicate appearance and a sense of popularity.

This person's surname is Yang, and his name is 衜.

is the son of Yang Xu, and now he is serving as the governor of the door under Dong Li's account.

But in reality, he doesn't even have as much power as the Fa Zheng. Yang Xu wants to show an attitude: If you do a good job for King Hongnong, I will also do my best to help you. And Dong Li asked Yang Wei to serve as the subordinate governor, but also to tell Yang Xu: Please help me do things well, I will never treat your family badly. The two have a tacit understanding, and neither of them pierced the window paper.

And Fa Zheng was not in the capital because he was running the technical attack camp with Dong Tie, most of the time.

Therefore, the work of Shuzuo is actually carried out by Yang Shu.

He stood up and arched his hand: "Marquis Wu Zhong, the military reports from Beidi and Shicheng will be delivered every three days, and I just received the latest military reports yesterday. Shicheng has trained 8,000 elite soldiers, and the two generals Zhang He and Pang De are in the north, and they have also been prepared. ”

"Well done!"

"In addition, General Xu Huang asked the general to give the name of the Shicheng Army in the military newspaper."

Giving a name?

That's a big deal.

The name of this army is like a soul. If you get up well, it will greatly improve morale. It's like a troll, a back-and-back army.

Dong Yan put a lot of thought into these two names.

After pondering for a moment, Dong Yan said: "Gongming has a calm temperament, it is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult to shake Gongming. With him, he can solve my worries. Mi Fang, you immediately ordered someone to rush to make a big book, the book is as immovable as a mountain, and the army is called the Liberation Army. ”

"Whoa!"

Everyone pondered for a moment and applauded together.

Yang Wei couldn't help but nod secretly: Only this is the case, Xu Huang will inevitably serve Dong Xiping. This Marquis Wu Zhonghou is not a reckless man.

"Since the name is given to Gongming, then the first army of the Northland ......"

Dong Yan scratched his head and said in a deep voice: "The art of war is cloudy: if a soldier has no choice, the front will be north, and it is said that the soldier wins by governance." Millions of people don't need to die, it's better to fight for 10,000 people. The crowd of 10,000 people does not need to die, it is better to work hard for 100 people. It's not expensive, it's fine. Ling Ming is brave, righteous and good at fighting, and he is the one who chooses the front under my account. Therefore, the first army in the north, I give it the name of Xuanfeng. ”

Pick a striker? Annoyance Army?

Fa Yan and the others applauded loudly, and the generals under Dong Li's command were all red-eyed and full of envy in their hearts.

So far, the two most important men and horses of the Han'an Army have been named here.

Dong Li ordered the generals to prepare their men, and at the same time asked Fa Yan, Yang Xu and others to draw up a statement for him as soon as possible and send troops to Shuofang.

This time, Dong Li's opponent is no longer the heroes of the Three Kingdoms that he is familiar with, but a group of Hu people, aliens.

And among them, what worries Dong Li the most is Han Sui's soldiers. Han Sui is as cunning as a fox, and he has escaped death several times, which is enough to show his ability. Such a person, if he can't be careful, will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

In addition, the reinforcements of the Shuofang Hu people are also a thing that Dong Li is worried about.

Xianbei is controlled by Lu Bu, but in the northwest of Shuofang, there are still the remnants of the Northern Xiongnu, if it cannot be properly disposed of, there will be endless troubles.

If the Southern Xiongnu Department goes north, it will enter the protected area of Xianbei.

Yu Fuluo is arrogant and will not send people under the fence. Most likely, he will flee to the northwest. The merger of the Xiongnu in the north and south will have a huge impact. Therefore, there must be a group of people on the way to the northern Xiongnu.

On the one hand, it is necessary to prevent the Northern Xiongnu from going south, and on the other hand, it is necessary to prevent the Southern Xiongnu from fleeing to the northwest.

In fact, this army is facing the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. If you are not a trusted person, you cannot do this.

Dong Li pondered for a long time, wrote a letter overnight, ordered the dragon to ride twelve, and rushed to Zhangye overnight.

This is the only person who can take on the heavy responsibility.

Dong Yan let out a sigh of relief, feeling inexplicably excited about the upcoming hard battle. Finally, here we go!
