Tai Shi Ci led 100,000 troops into Bingzhou, and the results achieved were not ideal, which was really a bit unexpected for Liu Yi. However, when Liu Yi thought about it, he was relieved, and it was actually reasonable.
At present, the situation in the annexed state is actually a very chaotic period, with bandits in various places, warlords dividing their territories, and chaos in a pot of porridge, which is completely anarchy. Luoyang's troops entering and leaving the state will inevitably suffer from many obstacles from the local army.
The state is very large, the land is vast and sparsely populated, most of the places are still barren and barren, and the places where there are people now almost all belong to the previous force, and they do not belong to each other.
The chaos of merging states was already formed two or three years ago.
In the early years, due to the invasion of the Xiongnu army led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu, they broke through the Yamen Pass guarded by the Han army in one fell swoop, and in a short period of time, dealt a devastating blow to the government offices in various parts of Bingzhou. Although because Liu Yi and Lu Bu assassinated the Xiongnu Wang Qiang, the Xiongnu army finally fled and withdrew to the desert, Cao Cao also led the army to clear the fleeing Huns within the boundaries of the state, but the government in various parts of the state did not control the local power in a short period of time, especially after Cao Cao led the army back to the division, and the whole state was almost in a state of anarchy.
Naturally, at that time, there was also Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan sitting in Bingzhou, but before he could re-govern Ruoda's Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo led 200,000 iron cavalry from Xiliang to occupy Luoyang, so that Ding Yuan had to lead the army into King Qin. Ding Yuan was stabbed to death by Lu Bu, and tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops were dispersed overnight, leaving no one who could really sit in charge of Bingzhou. At that time, the situation in Luoyang was tense, and no one cared about merging the state anymore, and after Ding Yuan's death, the imperial court did not appoint the governor of the state. In this way, there is a chaotic situation in which the state is not owned and there is no one.
The current state is merged. The most powerful is the Taishou Zhang Yang of Shangdang County, and then the remnants of the original Yellow Turban Army White Wave Thieves, as well as Hexi County, Yamen County, Shangjun, Beidi and other original local Taishou. They are in charge of each other, and they are not subordinate to each other. Sitting on the ground and saying big, from time to time they also attack each other and fight endlessly. In addition to these, there are countless bandits and robbers, among them, there are many aliens who have already migrated to live in the Hetao area.
Originally, Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang for a period of time. He can send troops to include the state as his jurisdiction, but Dong Zhuo, who served as the assassin of the state in his early years, is actually not very interested in the state. Because, Bingzhou is really vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren, especially in the northwest of Bingzhou, he is useless, so. He didn't attach importance to the annexation of the state, but only sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to occupy the county in Hedong, which was located in the annexation of the prefecture, but it was not considered a county in Hedong under the jurisdiction of the annexation state. In the entire Bingzhou region, I am afraid that only this Hedong County, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Sili Prefecture, is the richest area. Dong Zhuo would have sent someone to occupy it, otherwise, he would not have sent an army to cross the north bank of the Yellow River into the east of the Bingzhou River.
In addition, because the annexation of the state was dispensable for Dong Zhuo, he would generously give up the annexation to the Huns, and allow the current Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo to lead his army into the annexation and give the annexation to the Xiongnu completely.
However, Dong Zhuo's lack of attention does not mean that others do not pay attention to it. Take the local warlords, for example. And the state is barren though. But after all, they are all places to live, places to settle down, even if you don't talk about this, Bingzhou is actually a very important area with a very important strategic location. And, the Hetao area. On the surface, it is indeed a barren land, but it has not been transformed, and it is really necessary to move in the population, and after clearing the wasteland, the state can also become a country of abundance, because the irrigation of its area is possible to be transformed, and several large rivers flow through it, and if it is not used, it will make people feel like they are ruined.
Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or even Liu Yi, they have already seen the many advantages of merging states. Even Zhang Yan of Montenegro at the beginning wanted to take the state as his own. Historically, in the region of Bingzhou, the Montenegrin Army has been very active in Bingzhou. The Montenegrin Army did not really enter the annexed states in a big way and bring them into their sphere of influence, but they had a better choice.
Therefore, now Cao Cao purposefully and secretly sent an army into the state and the party and the party were too guarded to raise their eyebrows, and it was reasonable, even if Cao Cao had no other purpose, he would lead the army into the state. In addition, Yuan Shao won Jinyang, which is also reasonable.
In fact, Jinyang Taishou has already been subordinated to the original Jizhou Mu Han Fu, but Han Fu is now dead, so it is reasonable to return to Yuan Shao, who has been given to Jizhou, to seek protection.
Yuan Shao won Jizhou, the power has been greatly strengthened, the Black Mountain region is also close to Jinyang, when Jinyang Taishou learned that the Xiongnu army was going to visit Bingzhou again, he would definitely panic, and he would quickly seek a strong force to attach, and Yuan Shao just met the requirements of Jinyang Taishou.
Liu Yi just didn't expect Yuan Shao's actions to be so fast, he had already sent troops to Jinyang, and Tian Feng, Yang Feng and others, who were still helping to govern the Montenegrin region in Montenegro, didn't know that Yuan Shao had sent troops to Jinyang, and they didn't send someone to send news in advance.
At present, Tai Shici's army only occupies Hedong, and under the condition that the army cannot recover Shangdang County and occupy Jinyang City, the army that was originally preparing to cross the Fenshui River into Hexi has also stopped its actions and retreated to Hedong County to set up a defensive line to resist the Xiongnu army.
In fact, the Huns did not attack and kill Hedong so quickly, and now, according to the report of the spies who came back quickly, the Xiongnu army has now only entered Yamen County and the upper county in the northwest of Bingzhou, and the army did not immediately march to the east and south of Bingzhou, but adopted a way of steady advance, occupying one place at a time. In addition, the spies reported that a large number of foreign herdsmen poured into the northwest of Bingzhou, and they brought their families and drove a large number of cattle and sheep into the customs.
The Huns changed the situation of plundering in all directions after entering the customs, and it seems that they are really ready to take the state as their own and turn it into their grazing land.
The Huns moved into the territory of the Han Dynasty in a large number of people, it was indeed a matter of the Han Dynasty, they first occupied the state, after more than 100 years of reproduction, slowly developed and expanded, they learned the Han culture, and gradually Sinicized, becoming a half-Hu and half-Han aliens. However, although they learned Han culture, the jackal nature in their bones did not be consumed because of this, and later they became more violent, seeing the cowardice of the Han people. Then he invaded Middle-earth on a large scale and slaughtered the Han people, which eventually led to the tragic history of the five chaos of the Chinese and Han people.
Liu Yi will never let such a tragic history happen to the Han people again, this time. It is necessary to fundamentally put an end to the possibility of foreigners borrowing the land of the Han people to develop, so this time, Liu Yi will never let the Huns turn the state into their grazing land no matter what.
Tai Shici sent a letter back, mainly considering the unclear attitude of Shangdang County and the ambiguous attitude of Yuan Shaojun in Jinyang, he did not dare to rashly lead the army into Hexi to resist the Xiongnu south. Because he was worried that Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao would respond to Cao Cao's pseudo-emperor blood call. Will plot from behind his side. If he led the army into Hexi, then there was the Xiongnu army in front of him, and the Yuan Shao army of Jinyang on the right, and the retreat route might also be cut off by Zhang Yang, and at that time, their army would become a lone army, so he temporarily led the army back to Hedong. Send someone to ask for Lewi's instructions.
In addition, the army of Dazepo in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Youzhou, will also have a bit of trouble to enter the state at that time. Because the towns of Baima, Shouyang, and Leping in Bingzhou have all fallen into Yuan Shao's hands. In fact, from Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Dazepo to enter Bingzhou to fight, from Yicheng to the north, over the Great Wall into Bingzhou, but that area, there are mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and it is a piece of forest, which is not conducive to marching. If you want to enter the state as much as possible to join the main army of Liu Yi. The army of the Dazepo base could only go south through Yicheng, pass into Zhongshan County, enter Shiyi City in Changshan County, and then enter Bingzhou from Baima and other cities.
Now, whether it is the Dazepo base, or Tai Shici. They all considered that this was an extraordinary period, and they did not have Liu Yi's orders, and they did not know whether to conflict with Yuan Shao or Zhang Yang of the party. Cao Cao is sending the emperor's blood summons to the heroes of the world, calling on everyone to crusade against Liu Yi, although, on the surface, not many people responded, but at this delicate moment, whether it was Tai Shici or Zhao Yun of the Dazepo base, they were worried that Yuan Shao would be stimulated, and he would really join forces with Cao Cao to attack Luoyang.
The current situation in Bingzhou really made Liu Yi feel a little headache. Sometimes, it really makes Liu Yi feel a little helpless, he wants to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but the Chinese people are in a dilemma everywhere, completely ignoring the overall situation. At present, not to mention the party's publicity, Yuan Shao's capture of Jinyang has become a reality, and his army wants to enter his territory, he will definitely not agree, but if he does not send a large army, Yuan Shao alone, he may not be able to resist the Huns. At that time, the Xiongnu army would definitely kill to the east of the river, facing Luoyang across the river, and his own army would be afraid of a decisive battle with the Xiongnu army in Hedong.
The problem is that the area to the east of the river is too narrow, there is not much room for maneuver, and there is no other way to deal with the Huns except for the head-on decisive battle between the two sides. The decisive battle between the two armies faced a cavalry that was not inferior to Dong Zhuoxi's Liang Tie Cavalry, more than 200,000 ah, even if they could defeat them, their own sergeants were afraid that they would also suffer a lot of damage. This is not the outcome that Lewi wants to see. Also, the Huns' cavalry and archery skills are more powerful than the Xiliang cavalry, in case they don't fight a decisive battle, adopt a confrontational strategy, and often harass their own army, which will really make people have a headache. Seriously, for the cavalry, if they didn't take the initiative to seek a decisive battle, or forced them to the point where they had to fight a decisive battle, it was really difficult to do anything about them, and their own army couldn't catch up if they wanted to, even if they were chasing, they could kill a horse pistol at any time, fight and leave, and their own army couldn't catch up. The rangers of the aliens have always been a headache for the Han army.
What is even more worrying is that the Huns are by no means only more than 200,000 cavalry now, when they really gain a foothold in the annexed state, their people will enter the annexed state in an endless stream, with the characteristics of nomadic everyone is a soldier, they can raise another 100,000 or 200,000 troops at any time. Moreover, when other Hu tribes saw that the Xiongnu could occupy the annexed state and could live in the fertile and warm places of the Han people, they would definitely be red-eyed and would inevitably want to move from the barren Saiwai to the Sai Nei. When the time comes, foreign races such as Di, Qiang, Xianbei, and Wuhuan will also raise troops to invade the land of the Han Dynasty. At that time, I was afraid that it would cause another life-and-death war between the Han and the aliens.
Therefore, this sweetness cannot be tasted by the Huns.
In the court, Jia Xu, Xun Wenruo, Guo Jia, Lu Zhi and others all felt that it was a bit troublesome to send troops to fight against the Huns this time.
Jia Xu said: "My lord, the Huns are like jackals, and they can't raise familiar dogs, not only them, but even the many Hu tribes in Xiliang are similar, and they have been ministers to our Han for many years. But how have they ever really surrendered over the years? On the border of our Han Dynasty, there are almost no days of peace. On the one hand, they declared their submission to us, and on the other hand, they sent troops to plunder our people, so no matter what, we must not allow the Huns to gain annexation, otherwise. It will plague our Han people for thousands of years. ”
Liu Yi glanced at Jia Xu strangely, he didn't expect that he would see such a long term and say that the harm of aliens to the Han people would last forever. However, thinking that Jia Xu is a native of Xiliang Wuwei, he has come into contact with too many aliens, and he has a deeper understanding of aliens, so it is not too strange to have this awareness.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "Wen He is right, since Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, the three emperors and the five emperors. The aliens in the desert have never stopped persecuting our Han people, but no matter what, we Han people have never let the aliens occupy our Han land. Even if they temporarily occupy it, we will take it back one by one. Therefore, until now, we must not allow the foreign race to occupy an inch of our land. ”
"The lord is right, since Emperor Qin, to our Han Gaozu, we have never stopped fighting against foreign people. Later, we have always adopted a lot of soft policies towards the foreigners, but they have not played a great role, and not only have they not been able to influence the barbarians. On the contrary, it fuels their wolf ambitions, and I think these aliens should be completely eliminated! When Guo Jia talked about aliens, his expression seemed to be very angry, and he looked like an angry young man in later generations.
Here, it has to be said. Aliens and Han Chinese seem to be enemies by nature, and it seems that they can never truly live in peace. The hatred between the two sides is not formed in a day and a half, but is accumulated over the ages.
In ancient times, no matter which dynasty, the Han people have always fought against foreign people. Between the Han people and the aliens, it is a bit like the Han people and the Xiaori people in later generations. Needless to say, when ordinary people hear each other, they will subconsciously send out a hatred for each other from the bottom of their hearts. Even if the two sides can coexist peacefully for various reasons, natural enemies are natural enemies, and there will always be some hostility in the bottom of their hearts.
Don't admit it, even if some people will defend some Xiaori people, and don't deny it, there are indeed good and bad people among Xiaori people, but no matter whether they are good or bad, when they get along with them, who can really rest assured of them?
Now, among the great men, when the common people hear that the aliens are either frightened, they are hateful, and there will be nothing else.
For Guo Jia's indignation as a young man, Liu Yi is understandable.
"Alright." Xun Wenruo said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, what we have to discuss now is whether Taishi Ziyi's army should take the initiative to attack the Huns?" Is our army on the Luoyang side going to cross the Yellow River to join Ziyi's army? How did the army on the Dazepo side come to Bingzhou to participate in the war? How are we going to fight this battle? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me about it, and that's pretty much it. The shape around our Luoyang is also understood. What do you guys have in mind? Liu Yi asked the ministers.
"Lord, otherwise, we will send someone to talk to Shangdang Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao, and see if we can form an alliance with them to fight against the Huns, under the premise of national righteousness, I believe they will put down some selfish interests first and cooperate with us to attack the Huns, right? By the way, there is also Cao Cao, now that the great enemy is present, he may be able to see the national righteousness, and it may be possible to support us in attacking the Huns. Yang Biao said: "As long as we can reach an agreement with them, then it will be easy to do, our army can draw out more than 200,000, plus the party's merger army also has tens of thousands, if Yuan Shao really wants to participate in the war, it is estimated that he can also dispatch 100,000 or 200,000 troops, right?" In this way, added up, even if Cao Cao does not participate, we all have an army of 500,000 or 600,000, do we still need to worry about the Huns? ”
"Going to the party? Hum! Lu Zhi stood out and bowed his hand to Liu Yi: "This is a real thief, how can there be any thoughts of national righteousness?" As for Yuan Shao, I don't think he will necessarily form an alliance with us, he is now full-fledged, and regards our lord as a great enemy, it would be good if he didn't join forces with Cao Cao to attack us, and still expect him to join forces with us against the Huns? ”
"Lord Lu Zhi is right." Xun Yu said: "I have had some dealings with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and they are very clear about their behavior. Cao Cao may be able to see the scourge of some foreigners to our Han people, but Yuan Shao, he will not take the Huns in his eyes. Especially now when his power has increased greatly, he will definitely think that the Huns are just a trivial matter, and what he really attaches importance to is how to expose the problem of our development. At this point, Cao Cao may also have the same thoughts, thinking that the Huns are not to worry, so I am afraid that they will not only not join forces with us, but will also fall into the ground, Ziyi does not dare to rashly march, which is the reason. ”
The ministers expressed their opinions and argued about the dispatch of troops to confront the Xiongnu army.
