October of the second year of Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (185 AD).

On a mid-autumn morning, the weather was already a little cold.

Gongsun Han sat in the courtyard of Gongsun Zhang's house, playing the horizontal flute. The sound of the flute is desolate and distant, reverberating continuously.

At the end of the song, Gongsun Han seemed to be still immersed in the music, and sat on the stone bench alone, unwilling to leave for a long time.

A thin ray of morning sun quietly sprinkled into Gongsun Han's arms, and Gongsun Han suddenly woke up. He looked up at the clear blue sky.

The sun rises in the east, and the sun shines brightly.

A smile suddenly bloomed on Gongsun Han's handsome face, a helpless and desolate smile.

He stood up and slowly walked into Gongsun Zhang's room.

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"Big brother, have you thought about it?" Gongsun Zhang asked in a low voice.

Gongsun Han said calmly: "Tomorrow, I will lead my troops across the Great Liaoshui and begin to attack Liaodong County. ”

Gongsun Zhang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Big brother, I think you still need to be cautious, with our current strength, it is not the time to raise troops again." It is said that Li Yi will soon lead his headquarters back to the west. Wouldn't it be easier for us to wait for him to leave and then start again? ”

Gongsun Han shook his head and said, "Third brother, what you said may be reasonable. But have you thought about it, when Li Yi leads the army back to Quanzhou, winter has come, can we raise troops at that time? Can't! Then we'll have to wait until next year. But next year, Li Yixin's more than 100,000 troops will really be digested by him, and his strength will increase greatly, how can we fight against him? ”

Gongsun Zhang was silent.

Gongsun Han patted Gongsun Zhang and said firmly: "Third child, don't worry too much. This time, I have carefully prepared, not only do we have our own strength, but I have also found strong foreign help. ”

"Foreign aid?" Gongsun Zhang was stunned.

Gongsun Han nodded and said, "Yes." Foreign aid. The Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people, as well as the Samhan and Goguryeo people, all agreed to send troops and fight side by side with us. ”

………………

Gongsun Han and Gongsun Zhang reversed again, shocking the government and the opposition.

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was also taken aback.

This Xiliang is now fighting back and forth, Zhang Wen, that dead old man, has no fart skills, hundreds of thousands of troops are in his hands, and he can't take down the two rebels of Han Sui and Bian Zhang. This thing made him feel no trouble.

Now that Liaodong has finally settled down, he has been happy for a few days, why did something happen again in the blink of an eye?

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty regretted a little that he did not agree to the rebellious request that day. Aren't they just two petty officials, what do they have to lose? Once this battle is fought, the losses will be unimaginable. The money bag that he had just puffed up was about to deflat.

He looked at Zhao Zhong standing behind him, and a nameless fire suddenly rose.

Zhao Zhong was still chattering about rebellion at this time.

The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more heartache he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, grabbed the bamboo slip on the desk, and smashed it on Zhao Zhong's face.

Zhao Zhong was caught off guard, and immediately bled profusely. He didn't know where he had offended the Son of Heaven. was so frightened that he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Liu Hong still couldn't understand his hatred, rushed up and kicked him in the face, and immediately kicked him to the ground.

Zhao Zhong had blood in his mouth, and his eyes looked at the murderous Son of Heaven with fear. The atmosphere didn't dare to make a sound.

The ministers in the palace were shocked and fell to their knees.

Liu Hong strode up to Xu Xiang, who spent 10 million yuan to replace the newly dead Yang Ci as the secretary. kicked him over and scolded loudly: "Get out, I don't want to see you, get out of ......"

Xu Xiang didn't dare to squeak, and crawled backwards with a rolling belt.

The general He Jin lay on the ground with his whole body, watching Liu Hong rush towards him quickly, his frightened face turned white, and his hands involuntarily clenched his head.

Liu Hong walked over and aimed at his big head and flew with a kick.

"...... Get the hell out of here......"

Liu Hong beat several people in a row, including Yuan Kui, the great Honglu who had just recovered from his illness and went to the court, and spent five million yuan to buy the position of Situ, which made Liu Hong feel that he had lost Situ Cui Lie, and the little old man felt a little relieved.

But when he thought of the money that was about to be spent, the little old man Liu Hong's heart hurt like chopping meat.

"How many troops are there in Liaodong?" Liu Hong stood in front of Taiwei Zhang Yan and asked angrily. In fact, he really wanted to kick Zhang Yan out, but this involved military affairs, and this useless old man still had some value.

"Back to Your Majesty, in addition to the 30,000 Youzhou army of the former general, there are only about 10,000 county soldiers who originally belonged to the three counties of Liaodong." Zhang Yan replied cautiously.

"Your Majesty, there are still 50,000 troops in Liaodong." Guangluxun Liu Yu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, some time ago, the former general asked for 50,000 rebel prisoners to be directly recruited as the Youzhou border army, do you remember this?" ”

Liu Hong suddenly thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Aiqing is right, I remembered." In this way, we still have 100,000 horses in Liaodong. Thanks to the former general's thoughtfulness that day, otherwise Liaodong would have been worse this time. ”

He immediately looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "Isn't Lord Taiwei too old to forget about this?" ”

Zhang Yan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, these 50,000 people must not go to the battlefield. ”

"Why?" Liu Hong asked in surprise.

"These 50,000 people have just been recruited from captives, and more than 30,000 of them belong to the Hu people, both Wuhuan and Xianbei. What if they suddenly mutinied and defected on the battlefield? Once these 50,000 people defect, the defeat of the army is a trivial matter, and the strength of the rebels will increase dramatically. Your Majesty, please think twice......"

Liu Hong waved his hand indifferently and said, "No matter how much, immediately issue an order to ask the former general Li Yi to lead his troops south, and meet with Liaodong Taishou Yang to quickly defeat the rebels." ”

………………

Gongsun Han's army crossed the Great Liao River and swooped directly at Wen County in the central part of Liaodong County. The garrison of Wenxian County was weak, and it could not stop Gongsun Han's army at all. After only one day, Wenxian fell.

Gongsun Han then led his army to continue eastward and attacked Xi'an Ping County, which was located on the edge of the Mazishui (later known as the Yalu River).

Xi'an Ping is one of the largest counties in Liaodong County, with a population of nearly 80,000, so after pacifying Liaodong, Li Yi asked Gongsun Yu, who had a good performance, to serve as the county commander of this county in the process of persuading Gongsun Han and Gongsun Zhang to surrender.

Now the rebels are approaching the city, and Gongsun Yu is holding the city with 3,000 soldiers. Gongsun Han ordered the army to surround the city, but did not launch an attack for a long time.

At the invitation of Gongsun Han, the king of Goguryeo, Yi Yimo, joined up with the tribes of Wei (Wei), Nambuyu, Samhan and other tribes, and raised another 30,000 troops to attack the Joseon City, the seat of Lelang County.

Li Yi's newly appointed Lelang County Taishou Gongsun Wen was not strong enough to dare to fight, and hurriedly retreated north with 3,000 men and horses.

Yi Yimo immediately led his troops to follow up and attacked the easternmost county seat of Fanhan, Liaodong County.

Relying on the dangerous terrain between the county seat of Fanhan (the Qingchuan River in later Joseon) and Peishui (the Daning River in later Joseon), Liu Yi led 3,000 troops to defend the city.

Yang Zhong, the former Liaodong Taishou who bought his life through money, was finally driven by Li Yi to Daifang County in the south of Lelang County as a county commander. Li Yi's original intention was to let this product go there and talk to the stick of the future generations, and now Sanhan is torn apart, and when this limelight passes, he will free up his hands to kill him.

After all, this product was bought with money from the little old man of Emperor Han Ling, and Li Yi couldn't kill it immediately.

Who knew that after this guy went to the belt side, through the integration of the county soldiers of Lelang County, as well as the people and horses pulled up by Zhuang Ding again, he actually had nearly 50,000 troops in his hands.

For this reason, Yang Zhong is ambitious and has the heart to do something big, pacify Liaodong, and make a name for himself. At the instigation of Yang Jun, Liu Yong and others, he immediately led his troops to set off to help Fan Khan without waiting for Li Yi to arrive.

When Yi Yimo heard that Yang Zhong led a large army to arrive, he immediately turned to Wenxian County, fighting and retreating all the way.

Yang finally overseered the army in pursuit.

Li Yi, Huang Xu, and Liu Yi tried their best to dissuade Yang Zhong from temporarily garrisoning Fan Khan, and after Li Yi's army went south, they would enter Xi'an Ping, and together with Li Yi's army, they would flank the rebels on both sides. But Yang finally relied on himself to hold heavy troops and did not listen to the dissuasion of the three at all. He immediately ordered Liu Yi to garrison Fanhan to supervise the grain and grass, and Li Yi and Huang Xu led the army behind, and he personally led an army of 30,000 to kill Wen County.

………………

After Li Yi received the holy order, he immediately set off as an army without the slightest delay. The camp was handed over to Tian Feng, Han Dang and Fang Bao.

Because Liaodong is about to enter a long winter, so this time the army went south, and the supply of grain and grass became the top priority, and Li Yi specially left 5,000 men and horses in the camp for this purpose, in case of emergency.

Day and night, the army marched south to the Liaodong Peninsula. On this day, he had just led a large army to recover Wenxian County, which had been occupied by the rebels, and planned to march east to Xi'an Ping the next day.

In the middle of the night, Li Yi and Zhao Yun were still studying the military situation in the big tent, when suddenly, there was a noisy sound of talking outside the tent, and then they saw Tai Shici walking in with a young man.

"Guoyuan ......" Li Yi exclaimed in surprise and immediately asked, "How is Xi'an Pingcheng?" ”

Guo Yuan obviously came all the way, gray-headed and gray-faced, dusty. When he saw Li Yi, he immediately said anxiously: "General Li, Gongsun Yu, the commander of Xi'an Ping County, has surrendered the city and raised troops to rebel." ”

Li Yi and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and they were a little panicked for a while.

How so?

Li Yi reacted immediately, he was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Where is Yang Zhong's army?" ”

Guo Yuan shook his head and said, "General, Yang Zhong has been killed." ”

Zhao Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, calmed down his mind, and asked, "The army has defected?" ”

"Yes." Guo Yuan was in low spirits and said in frustration, "Yang Zhong's army followed the Hu army all the way to Wuxi in the upper reaches of Peishui, and was immediately surrounded by Gongsun Han's ambush soldiers, and then was attacked by Gongsun Wen who accompanied him, and fell into a desperate situation. ”

"Gongsun Wen also rebelled?" Li Yi almost couldn't believe his ears, "Gongsun Wen rebelled? ”

"Yes, General Li, Gongsun Wen also rebelled. All of this was pre-arranged by them. Guo Yuan said, "That night, Yang Zhong's subordinate Yang Jun led his troops to defect, first killing Liu Yong, and then killing Yang Zhong, and the 30,000 army was all owned by Gongsun Han overnight.
