Chapter 505: The Beginning of the Race for the Deer
Northland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The war is over.
Except for the princess of the Dayue clan, Azguli, who led 3,000 cavalry to escape, the rest of the Hu cavalry in the Western Regions were either killed in battle or captured, Wang Yuan, the minister of Shanshan State Alibu, the general of the Cheshi State Musa Khan, and the leading generals of the other small countries all became prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army.
But what really made Zhang Bao overjoyed was the tens of thousands of horses captured in the Western Regions.
The only thing that makes Zhang Bao feel a fly in the ointment is that these horses from the Western Regions are not as easy to serve as Shandan horses, and the war horses bred by Youzhou Shandan Horse Farm are not picky eaters, and they can survive tenaciously under harsh living conditions, and they will not lose weight after continuous combat and hard marching for months, but the horses of the Western Regions are not.
Therefore, it is difficult for horses in the Western Regions to be used to equip ordinary cavalry on a large scale, but can only be used to equip heavy armored iron cavalry on a small scale.
But even so, it was enough for Zhang Bao to be happy. With this batch of horses from the Western Regions, the Yellow Turban Army's heavily armored iron cavalry will no longer have to worry about the lack of mounts.
The Heavy Iron Cavalry is arguably the most powerful of the Yellow Turban Army, and so far Zhang Bao has not found any army that can stop their assault. Maybe the trapping camp led by Gao Shun can do it, but the Yellow Turban Heavy Armor Iron Cavalry will never meet Gao Shun's trapping camp on the battlefield.
Jia Xu didn't know when he came to Zhang Bao, stroked his willow whiskers and said: "Lord, the Hu cavalry of the Western Regions has finally broken through, and the fertile land of Beidi County has been firmly controlled by our army, which is really gratifying." The land of Beidi County is fertile, and when it is harvested, plus the grain of Youzhou, it is enough to support the 150,000 army to go on the expedition. ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Bao bowed his head slightly, raised his head leisurely, his unfocused gaze seemed to have crossed the lonely sky, stared at the Kwantung battlefield thousands of miles away, and said lightly, "I don't know if the three thousand cavalry of Gong Ze, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu have captured Cao Cao, calculate the time, and Gong Ze should almost have news coming." ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Xu has always been puzzled, why is the lord so jealous of Cao Cao? ”
"Boom Boom Boom~"
Jia Xu's voice fell, suddenly the clouds were indifferent, and there were bursts of thunder above the sky, and the rain was coming. Zhang Bao's sword-like gaze shot straight into the void, and said indifferently: "The shower is coming, the clouds are like a dragon, is Wen He aware of the change of the dragon?" ”
"Oh?" Jia Xu said curiously, "Dare to ask how the Lord Dragon has changed?" ”
"Dragons can be big and small, and they can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. The shower is coming, the dragon changes with the time, and the Jews have the will to cross the sea. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world! Zhang Bao said lightly, "Although Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian are not famous at this time, they are like dragons trapped in the shallows. Once these three people seize the opportunity, they will be the dragon entering the sea and the tiger entering the mountains and forests, and they will become the great enemies of our army. ”
Jia Xu stroked his willow whiskers and said: "Yangzhou Assassin Yuan Shu's soldiers are rich in fine grain, and the east of Jingzhou and the south of Xuzhou are all under the control of Yuan Shu, so they can be said to be the first princes at the moment, are they not considered the great enemies of our army?" ”
"Hehe~" Zhang Bao smiled yinyin, his eyes revealed a cunning color, and he said with compassion, "Although Yuan Shu is a good soldier, but his arrogance and personality will eventually end up betraying his relatives." It's not our enemy. ”
"Hmm!" Jia Xu nodded, and said: "Yuan Shao is the fourth and third dukes, there are many old officials, and there are many capable subordinates, and Han Fu helps him. And one is the Bohai Sea Taishou, the other is the history of Jizhou Thorn, close to Youzhou, isn't it the great enemy of our army? ”
"Wenhe~" Zhang Bao looked at the gloomy sky from afar, and said quietly, "The eldest brother Zhang Jiao started in Jizhou, which can be said to be a general business of Tietong, and the land is fertile, and the population is so large. But do you know why Ben insisted on attacking Youzhou? Is it even more painstaking to migrate people to Youzhou? ”
Jia Xu pondered for a long time and said: "Although Jizhou is good, it is a place where soldiers must fight, if our army is entrenched in Jizhou, it will be a situation where the enemy is on the back and back." ”
"That's just one of them!" A fine light flashed in Zhang Bao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Yuan Shao is very timid and scheming; Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits. Han Fu is a fierce general but cowardly, and Han Fu is Yuan Shao's former official. Living under Han Fu, Yuan Shao will not be reconciled, if he is provoked by lobbyists, it is not enough to worry. ”
Jia Xu bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "The lord is unfathomable, and he can't be criticized." ”
"Wen He is too modest." Zhang Bao waved his hand, and then said worriedly, "Now that the battle against Dong is over, the next target of the coalition forces is probably my Yellow Turban Army, what does Wen He think?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The Kwantung coalition army gathered to crusade against Dong Zhuo is actually just an alliance for interests. Now that the discussion of Dong is over, such as Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, Xu Miao, the assassin of Jingzhou, and the rest of the princes, I am afraid that the only people who are most concerned about it now are Han Fu of Jizhou and Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai~"
"Hmm!" Zhang Bao bowed his head lightly and said in a deep voice, "Huguan is the gateway to the state, and there must be no mistakes." And Quanzhou is the main road of Jizhou and Youzhou, and it is the most important. Ben will send people to send an army to garrison Quanzhou, as for Huguan ~ how about bothering Wen He and Bu Ji to garrison? ”
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Dare not obey your fate." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Luoyang, Lu Bu's official residence.
Lu Bu was drinking alcohol, Lu Bu did have a reason to sulk, to say that the biggest hero to get rid of Dong Zhuo was actually none other than him Lu Bu, but in the end, all the princes of the Fourteenth Kwantung were rewarded by the Son of Heaven, but Lu Bu seemed to have been forgotten, and no one mentioned it again.
When he lobbied Lu Bu to fight back, Wang Yun promised that after Lu Bu succeeded, the court would make him a hussar general, but now that so long has passed, Wang Yun seems to have forgotten about it, and he didn't even mention it for months! That's not all, what makes Lu Bu even more intolerable is that in the end, even the captain of Sili has become Liu Bei.
Liu Bei presided over the military affairs of Luoyang and Jinggi, didn't he want Lu Bu to obey him?
In the sound of broken footsteps, Diao Chan twisted his waist and swung his hips into the side hall, and said to Lu Bu with a smile like a flower: "The general is in a bad mood, why don't you dance a dance to relieve the general's boredom?" ”
"Hmm."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, and Diao Chan shook his willow waist lightly and danced.
Lu Bu hit the case with bamboo chopsticks, whispered and groaned, Diao Chan danced a song, Lu Bu gradually felt better, Yinxing was prosperous, and the ape arm lightly hugged Diao Chan's plump and fat delicate body into his arms, making her sit on his lap. Diao Chan's round jade buttocks were just pressed against Lu Bu's crotch, and Diao Chan, who was good at charming, lost no time in shaking the jade buttocks, making Lu Bu horny.
Lu Bu lifted Diao Chan's seven-colored clothes, stretched out his hand to hold Diao Chan's snow-white fat buttocks, and was about to kiss Fang Ze, when a loud shout of the pro-soldiers suddenly sounded outside the hall: "Lord Situ is here~~"
"Father?"
"Father-in-law?"
Diao Chan and Lu Bu hurriedly separated their bodies, Diao Chan straightened his cheeks and scattered hair, looked back and threw a wink at Lu Bu, and seduced Lu Bu to the soul, and then Lianbu Shanshan went to the back hall. Seeing Diao Chan's seductive delicate body disappear behind the screen, Lu Bu sighed in disappointment and sat up straight.
In less than a moment, Wang Yun came suddenly.
Lu Bu gave Wang Yun a shallow look, deliberately turned his head sideways and did not look at Wang Yun, and said indifferently: "The little son-in-law meets my father-in-law." ”
Seeing Lu Bu's face like this, how could Wang Yun not know Lu Bu's thoughts?
Wang Yun sighed at that time: "Feng Xian is resentful in his heart because of his father's words and has no faith, and he has never persuaded the Son of Heaven to crown you as the hussar general of the dynasty?" ”
Lu Bu said: "How dare the little son-in-law. ”
"Alas, how can a father not know thy thoughts?" Wang Yun said, "But if you are a prophet, your father has not persuaded the Son of Heaven to make you a hussar general, but it is for your own good." ”
"For the good of the son-in-law?" Lu Bu was stunned and said, "How can you say this?" ”
Wang Yundao: "Feng Xian can know why Liu Bei was able to become a captain and lead the army to stay in Luoyang?" ”
Lu Budao: "How does the son-in-law know why Liu Bei, a pawn of a peddler, can be a captain of the boss?" ”
"It is precisely because Liu Bei is a pawn of a peddler, immoral and incompetent, that he can become a captain of the boss and a lieutenant, so he can stay in Luoyang." Wang Yundao, "If your father wins the position of lieutenant of this division for Feng Xian, it will hurt Feng Xian's son!" The princes of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung are all ambitious, how can they sit back and watch Feng Xianxiong occupy Luoyang and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”
"This~~" Lu Bu said suddenly, "I see." ”
Wang Yun said: "But my father came here today, but I have good news to tell you." ”
"Oh, what's the good news?"
Wang Yundao: "Just now the imperial court received an urgent report from Yuzhou, the war in Yuzhou is endless, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling led a large army to crusade, I don't want to be killed by the thieves instead, Qiao Mao himself was also hit by several arrows, died in the chaos!" For the father has been on the table, he asked the Son of Heaven to release Fengxian to Yuzhou to assassinate the history and lead the army to quell the rebellion. ”
Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this true? ”
"Seriously." Wang Yun smiled and said, "How can my father play tricks on you." ”
。。。。。。
The Imperial Palace, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Ho.
Empress Dowager He's jade hand was lightly soothed, and she said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, please take a seat." ”
Liu Bei clasped his fists to the end, and replied respectfully: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”
Empress Dowager He smiled, glanced at Liu Bei charmingly, and said: "Since the imperial uncle is the head of the imperial family, he is like a member of his own family, so there is no need to be so restrained. ”
Liu Bei hugged his fists and responded: "Dare not obey your fate." ”
Empress Dowager He covered her mouth and chuckled, remembering that she had a straight face again, and said: "The war in Yuzhou is endless, and the assassination of Shi Kongling in Yuzhou must have been known by the emperor, right?" ”
Liu Bei said: "I already know everything. ”
Empress Dowager He said: "Who does Uncle Huang think he should send to crusade?" ”
Liu Bei said: "The state affairs are important, and the Queen Mother is also invited to make a decision." ”
Empress Dowager He nodded lightly, obviously extremely satisfied with Liu Bei's performance, so she told Liu Bei what she thought and asked Liu Bei: "When the princes of the Guandong region gathered in Luoyang in the past fourteen roads, the rest of the roads were all stationed in Luoyang, drinking and playing every day. The mourning family thought that Cao Cao should be the assassin of Yuzhou and lead the army to quell the rebellion, did the imperial uncle think it was appropriate? ”
Liu Bei said: "It's very proper. ”
Empress Dowager He said again: "However, Lord Situ has already been on the table, and asked Lu Bu to assassinate the history of Yuzhou, and it is not good for the mourning family to talk to him about this matter, so I ask the imperial uncle to move to Situ Mansion to explain everything to Lord Wang Yun." ”
Liu Bei said: "Prepare for the order." ”
。。。。。。
Lu Bu's official residence.
When Wang Yun and Lu Buweng's son-in-law were talking, suddenly a personal soldier came into the hall to report, and Liu Bei, the captain of Sili, brought his righteous brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to visit the house.
Lu Bu ordered someone to lead the three Liu Bei brothers into the side hall and meet Wang Yun.
Liu Bei hugged his fists and said apologetically: "I came here late at night, it's really disturbing." ”
Lu Bu cupped his fists and saluted back: "Lord Liu Bei doesn't have to be polite, and sit down." ”
When Liu Bei was about to speak, Guan Yu, who was sitting under him, suddenly asked Lu Bu: "I heard that General Lu Bu has a concubine Diao Chan, but it is Lord Situ Ling Yuan, who is as beautiful as a flower and is admirable, why not summon a look?" ”
Liu Bei held his forehead with his hand, thinking that it was really a mistake.
Guan Yu Yunwen Yunwu, everything is good, but he is a little lustful. Guan Yu was originally a member of the Hedong Xie Liangshi clan, and he was immortal, and then he was jealous and angry with the wealthy clans in the township, so he changed the word Yunchang to avoid disaster Zhuo County made a living by selling dates, and had to get acquainted with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. If you have to come to Lu Bu's mansion today, you have made up your mind to see the beauty of Diao Chan.
Guan Yu's voice fell, and Lu Bu suddenly had a look on his face. Although the atmosphere was enlightened at that time, the host would often call out his beloved concubine to serve the guests when he visited, but the host was voluntary, and there were very few people who took the initiative to ask the host to call out the concubine to serve the banquet.
Wang Yun saw that the atmosphere in the hall was a little embarrassing, so he hurriedly said, "Fengxian, why don't you call the cicada out?" ”
Seeing Wang Yun speak, Lu Bu had to endure the anger in his heart, and said to the family in front of the screen: "Go, call the second lady to come and meet Lord Liu Bei." ”
The family took the order and left, and in less than a moment, Diao Chan walked into the side hall.
Guan Yu saw Diao Chan at first glance, and suddenly felt like thunder, and his narrow phoenix eyes revealed an indescribable look. When Lu Bu next to him saw it, he couldn't help but be even angrier in his heart, and snorted from his nostrils. Guan Yu didn't realize it, he just stared straight at Diao Chan, looking confused.
Liu Bei hurriedly coughed dryly and said, "On the orders of the Queen Mother, I have something important to discuss with General Lu Bu, and it just so happens that Lord Situ is also here, how about discussing it together?" ”
Lu Bu suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Bei said: "The Yellow Turban thief army seems to have signs of stupidity, and the Queen Mother plans to appoint General Lu Bu as the Taishou of Hedong and lead the army out of Tun'an Yi to resist the Yellow Turban, I don't know what the general wants?" ”
"What?"
"What?"
Liu Bei's voice fell, and Lu Bu and Wang Yun were stunned at the same time.
Liu Bei said confusedly: "What's the matter, but is there anything wrong?" ”
Wang Yun frowned and said: "Lord Xuande doesn't know, the old man has played the Queen Mother yesterday, and asked Feng Xian to serve as the assassin of Yuzhou, in order to replace Kong Ling, who died in battle, to pacify the Yuzhou Rebellion. ”
Liu Bei said: "The candidate for the assassination of Yuzhou, the Queen Mother has instructed the county to guard Cao Cao, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to change this matter." ”
"What!" Wang Yun lost his voice and said, "There is such a thing?" ”
Lu Bu was even more disappointed and said, "Father-in-law, how can this be? ”
Wang Yun's expression was extremely embarrassed, and he said to him: "I don't know if this ~~ is my father." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
In the first month of the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court officially enshrined Cao Cao, the Taishou of Qiaojun, as the assassin of Yuzhou, led the army to crusade against the rebellion, and at the same time appointed Hu Ben Zhonglang General Lu Bu as the Taishou of Hedong, and led 10,000 old troops out of Tun'anyi, so as to deter Zhang Bao of the state.
Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains, densely populated, abundant products, since ancient times is a place where soldiers must fight.
Yuzhou has jurisdiction over Yingchuan County, Runan County, Liang State, Pei State, Chen State, Lu State, and the city of Qian County. At its peak, Yuzhou had a population of more than 4 million and was the place with the strongest cultural atmosphere in the country, but by the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao served as the assassin of Yuzhou, the total population had plummeted to less than one million.
At the end of the first month of the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao led Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Zangba, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other civil and military generals, as well as the elite soldiers of the 3,000 clans, into the county, and Xu Jing, the commander of the county, went out of the city fifty miles to greet him.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
When Cao Cao's new official took office and was full of ambition, Yuan Shao, the general of Zhengbei and the Taishou of Bohai, fell into a low point in his life.
When the Fourteenth Kwantung Army was fighting against Dong, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance by virtue of the prestige of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, and after entering Luoyang, he was named the general of the expedition to the east by the imperial court, but in fact, the so-called general of the expedition to the east was only an empty title, and the territory belonging to Yuan Shao was still only the land of Bohai County.
The general of the expedition to the north and the assassin of Jizhou, Han Fubing, has many generals, and sits on the land of Jizhou, and has an overwhelming advantage over Yuan Shao in terms of strength. Han Fu was worried that Yuan Shao would threaten his safety when he became stronger, so he began to suppress Yuan Shao everywhere and strictly restricted the supply of grain, grass and ordnance to Yuan Shao's army.
In the autumn of the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, the new grain from the counties of Bohai County had just been collected, and it was forcibly transported away by Han Fu, and not a single grain was left for Yuan Shao.
During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had exhausted all the food stocks in the army, and now the new grain was forcibly requisitioned by Han Fu, and the 20,000 troops under his command immediately fell into the predicament of lack of food! Yuan Shao reluctantly borrowed some surplus grain from the gentry of the noble clan in Bohai County, but these surplus grains were limited after all, and could only sustain the army for several months.
Seeing that the army under his command was about to collapse due to lack of food, Yuan Shaozheng was like a year and had nothing to do, and an important person appeared in front of him.
This person is none other than Feng Ji.
Every time, the character diagram. This person pointed out a clear path for Yuan Shao - to seize Jizhou! Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers, generals, and no shortage of strategists, but there is no territory, only if he captures Jizhou, he will not be controlled by others, and he does not need to rely on others, and he has the capital to compete in the world!
However, Han Fu is the strongest force in the north except for Zhang Bao in Youzhou, not only has tens of thousands of male soldiers under his command, but also has fierce generals like Zhang He, and strategists like Xin Ping, and the Ye city wall is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the most important military fortress in the area north of the river, Yuan Shao has no confidence to defeat Han Fu at all.
