XIII. Soldiers of the state

In the first month of the second year of the first peace, Yuan Shao and Han Fu of the Kwantung Army wanted to abolish Emperor Xian and elect Liu Yu of the Han clan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperors on the grounds that Emperor Xian was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo. So Yuan Shao and others sent the old Le Lang Taishou Zhang Qi and others to Liu Yu. Liu Yu insisted on not accepting it, and the matter was dismissed.

In March, Wang Ji, the leader of the Taiyuan County Guard and the Jinyang Wang clan, was assassinated, and Taiyuan was shaken. He Chen took the opportunity to support his troops to the north, took over the city defense, and in the name of search and arrest, divided and suppressed the local warrior clan, which was not very strong, and then Taiyuan was completely controlled.

At the end of the month, Liu Biao used the Jingzhou Wang clan as foreign aid, broke Changsha and guarded the Su Dynasty, and the four counties south of the Yangtze River were all flat. Only Xiangyang was too conservative and Liaohua was too guarded by Liaohua to support the troops and respect themselves, and they did not listen to orders. There were also yellow turban remnants who were harassing Nanjun everywhere, and Liu Biao was exhausted.

At the end of April, Sun Jian broke through Hefei Shouchun, and his military might was greatly boosted, and then Yuan Shu ordered him to attack Liu Biao in the south and attack Jiangxia Prefectures.

In July, Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, saw that Jizhou Mu Hanfu was mediocre and talentless, and he had no ambitions, and began to seek Jizhou, thinking that he was a place for development. When the commander Gongsun Zan was stationed in Tunyouzhou, Yuan Shao instigated Gongsun Zan to divide the territory of Jizhou and let him send troops. Han Fu was unfavorable and panicked. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to make his nephew Gao Gan and Han Fu's always relied on Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others to Han Fuchen to tell Han Fu Chen about the benefits, saying that Gongsun Zhan's troops were very sharp, and his front could not be controlled, Yuan Shao also had an attempt to enter Jizhou eastward, and under the attack from both sides, Jizhou was not guaranteed, so it was better to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao as soon as possible to ensure safety. Han Fu has always been cowardly, and he wanted to protect himself from Yuan Shao, and despite the strong opposition of his subordinates, he ceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, with Han Fu as the general of Fenwei, and led the Jizhou pastor. He also attracted Jizhou celebrities to be judged and matched, and Xu You, Xun Chen and others were used as strategists, so Jizhou was possessed. Jizhou was a big state at that time, known as "with a million, ten years of valley branches", known as the world's heavy capital.

Yuan Shao's power was great, and since then he has been based on the Yellow River in the south, Yan and Dai in the north, and has been in a very advantageous position in the division of the Central Plains. After Jizhou Mu Han Fu let Jizhou go, he did not settle down, and soon fled to Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao. Yuan Shao sent people to Zhang Miao's place to discuss matters, and Han Fu thought that he was going to try for himself, so he committed suicide and died.

At the end of the month, the Montenegrin Army led by Yu Poison and Bai Huan attacked Wei County, Dong County and other places, and Dong County Taishou Wang Qiu could not resist. Yuan Shao sent Cao Ying, who was subordinate to him at the time, to lead troops into Dongjun in order to develop his own power. Cao Ying broke the White Ring Department of the Black Mountain Army in Puyang and the Poison Department in Dunqiu. Yuan Shaobiao Cao Ying was the Taishou of Dongjun and changed to govern Dongwuyang. Cao Ying has suffered from the development of no territory since he started his army, and so far, he finally has a foothold in Dongjun, and Cao Ying has been out of control since then, soaring to the Nine Heavens.

In the same month, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, ordered Sima Zhang Lu and Sima Zhang Xiu of other departments to join forces to attack and kill the Taishou Su State in Hanzhong, cut off the Baochuan Road (the north-south passage connecting the Qinling Mountains in ancient times, 700 miles from the beginning to the end), and killed the court envoy, but deliberately said that it was a thief who cut off the road and could not contact the court. He also used excuses to kill more than ten people such as Wang Xian and Li Quan of the big clans in the state, so as to establish his authority. Soon, Qianwei Taishou Ren Qi and the school captain Jia Long raised troops to attack Liu Yan and were killed. Liu Yan's momentum was even stronger, when all his sons were in Chang'an, and the emperor offered his son Liu Zhang, the commander of the car, to return to Yizhou to learn about the benefits. Liu Yan made him stay in Yizhou and never return, so he seized Yizhou.

The Central Plains was full of wolf smoke, and the princes fought one after another, completely carrying out the situation of competing with each other.

and state.

Since Wang's death, He Chen took the opportunity to completely control Taiyuan and move to govern the state. On the one hand, he went to the court and sealed Tianfeng as the Taiyuan Taishou, and on the other hand, he stepped up the preparation of grain and grass and trained soldiers.

Sure enough, as He Chen Guo Jia expected, in April of the second year of Chuping, Budugen united with Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Lifang and other Xianbei tribes, gathered a total of 300,000 iron horses, wolf smoke billowing, and once again slaughtered Benyanmen Pass, trying to knock on the gate of the Central Plains, and entered with a long body. The vanguard forces have launched several offensive attacks, all of which have been repulsed by Zhang Liao. It's just that the enemy army has 300,000 troops, and the Yanmen army is less than 70,000 soldiers, and the defense is more than enough, and the progress is insufficient, so you can only watch the Xianbei cavalry rely on the speed, penetrate the defense line, and plunder back and forth and are helpless. It was in this situation that He Chen received Zhang Liao's urgent document.

How do we have to fight this battle? He Chen has already broken his brain, and now Xianbei's tactical goal is very clear, that is, to use the army to suppress Yanmen Pass, so that your main defenders dare not move. Then send out more than 10 cavalry regiments of all sizes, staggered Yanmen Xiongguan, take Ningwu, Pingxing, Bauhinia and other strategic places, take both sides as a breakthrough, once presented, although Yanmen will not be lost, but the consequences are also unimaginable, Xianbei army can send cavalry deep into the hinterland at any time, flanking the grain road, besieged Yanmen.

For this matter, He Chen has increased his troops in Yanmen twice, but it is still a drop in the bucket, mainly because the Xianbei spring offensive this year is too fierce, and it is estimated that he also saw the chaos of the Han family, and the princes could take advantage of the opportunity to fight, so they launched a large-scale joint dispatch.

He Chen consulted with several important strategists for several days and nights, and finally decided to personally lead his troops north to support Zhang Liao. In order to solve this problem once and for all. On the one hand, let yourself no longer have to worry about the hegemony of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, lay a solid foundation for yourself to go out of the east and Yan, and open up the three main roads. But before that, we must first solve the problem of Yufuluo. Otherwise, when his army went out to Yanmen, when the territory was empty, he was stabbed by the Huns, and it would be troublesome. At this time of survival, He Chen is not polite.

At the end of the year, under the pressure of famine, countless cattle, sheep and horses were slaughtered, and even so, thousands of people still starved to death. Although Yu Fuluo tried his best to stop it, there was no way. In the end, in desperation, he chose to take refuge in He Chen on the bright side in order to seek emergency food and grass.

But who is He Chen? There are a few white-eyed wolves and Zhang Peeling skin in the world, which belong to the type of iron rooster that does not pull out a hair. How is it possible to send away military grain and grass in vain and raise tigers for trouble? During the negotiation, Deng Zhi adhered to He Chenyan's principle of plucking, either delaying time, or pulling the skin there, for more than ten days, he almost made Yu Fuluo anxious with white hair, and in the end, he was blackmailed only with a pair of underwear. You must know that if there is less than a day of food and grass, there is no telling how many people in the clan will starve to death. Poor Yu Fuluo was forced to sign an alliance under the city in this way. I won't go into detail about many other conditions, just five thousand Hun cavalry is enough for He Chen to wake up with a smile in his dreams, not to mention the supply of war horses in the coming year, the recruitment of soldiers, and so on. Of course, He Chen didn't want to dry up and fish, and finally assimilated the Xiongnu and served himself was the key, so in the negotiations, he also made certain compensation for restoring the Xiongnu's economy.

At this time, there were about 120,000 regular soldiers in the entire state. And almost half of the guards of Yanmen, plus the garrisons at various dangerous checkpoints, and the defense force of the county town, can really make He Chen mobilize only 20,000 horses, these soldiers are obviously not enough to defeat Xianbei, so He Chen turned his eyes to the Huns.

He Chen asked Deng Zhi to bring hundreds of carts of porcelain, cloth and other useless items, and let Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan exhaust the elite cavalry of the clan and go north to Yanmen with him to fight against Xianbei. Among them, the grain and grass should be undertaken by the state army. And He Chen promised that after the completion of the matter, a series of preferential policies would be promulgated in the Southern Xiongnu Department.

Subsequently, He Chen started the Chinese army, with Gao Shun as the vanguard, Xu Huang and Huang Zhong as the generals, Lu Chang, Ma Yu, Deng Long, Xiang Ping, Han Juzi and other generals more than 20 members, Guo Jia as the military advisor, Xi Zhi as the main Bo, Xun You as the military Sima, Chen Lin as the staff officer, Li Yan as the supervising army, Lou Gui as the governor of grain and grass, Liutianfeng to guard Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, Xiang Shengchuan, Fan Yu and other generals will be supplemented.

Among them, He Chen promoted two brothers from Qixiang, Taiyuan, Wang Chen and Wang Ling. At this time, Wang Chen was 22 years old and Wang Ling was only 19 years old.

These two are the nephews of Situ Wang Yun. Wang Chen is not obvious in history, but Wang Ling is awesome. This man is both humanistic and martial, and he is definitely the pride of the sky. When Cao Rong died, he was the general of Zhengdong and supervised the military of Yangzhou, Cao Shuang actively approached him, and because of his meritorious service to Wu, he was promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry, and opened the palace with the three divisions. Later, he was promoted to commonplace. Sima Yi punished Cao Shuang, and also actively approached Wang Ling, and after the Gaopingling Incident, he was promoted to Tai Lieutenant, ranked as the third duke, and had high power. And Sima Yi once asked Jiang Ji: "How is Wang Ling's talent?" Jiang Ji replied: "Wang Ling is both civil and military, unparalleled in the world, and his son Wang Guang has great ambitions and is better than his father", Sima Yi was a little wary of Wang Ling. No matter what his purpose was, He Chen was extremely attentive to these two brothers.

At this time, Yu Fuluo also did his best to meet He Chen with the 10,000 cavalry of the Southern Huns, with the right virtuous king Hu Chuquan as the commander. Yu Fuluo was really hungry and scared, and the various conditions listed by He Chen were extremely attractive, and it didn't take long for him to decide to respond to He Chen, of course, this gang is also very smart, although there are 10,000 cavalry, but most of them are old and young, sick and disabled, and the fat of the horses is not called a handsome war horse.

Even so, He Chen is also quite satisfied, at least this guy didn't refuse, right? Otherwise, if you really want to turn your face, He Chen has no good way at this time. The 10,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu, plus He Chen's 20,000 infantry from the state, the original 5,000 cavalry extorted, a total of 35,000 people. Together with the guards of Yanmen Pass, there are a total of 100,000 people before and after. This is the time He Chen has commanded the most men since he started the army. This made Uncle He a little fluttering, and Lao Tzu finally began to have the capital to command the army to fight.

After the two armies converged, He Chen also saw Hu Chuquan.

Among the alien generals in the Qunying series, Hu Chuquan's high force is outrageous, if I remember correctly, this guy's strength is 96 high, which is a super first-class general. However, in the series, He Chen, a cross-racial martial artist, is not very cold, except for a few people with the "Yuan Cannon". Huchuquan is one of them.
