Yuan Tan, who was sitting in Yuyang, heard the news of the fall of Yijing and the rebellion of Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and his heart palpitated for a while. Secretly sighed that he was fortunate to have the foresight to escape from Yi Jing first, otherwise he would have been betrayed by Tian Feng and the two traitors.

But when he thought about it the other way, even Tian Feng and Yi Jing's danger couldn't resist Luan Yi's army, how could he stop it?

Thinking of Luan Yi wearing silver armor and holding a lotus sledgehammer, Yuan Tan's heart trembled. That's the god general of the first emperor's imperial seal! Can he beat with his ability?

Yuan Tan was scared, he was afraid to death, he didn't have the courage to face Luan Yi - he wanted to escape.

But Yuyang is his last barrier, where else can he retreat when the world is so big?

While he was scratching his head, Yuan Tan's second brother Yuan Xi reminded him that they were in-laws with the leader of Karasuma's largest tribe, Bundun. Now that the situation is urgent, it is better to take refuge in him.

Yuan Tan thought about it for a while, and he had quite a lot of soldiers and horses in the northern grassland of Beiping on the right, and he could resist Luan Yi with the help of the danger outside the fortress. In the future, he can take advantage of the Karasuma army of Kudun to regroup and then return to Youzhou, fight with Chen Bing and the state on both sides, and then take Youzhou back from Luan Yi's hands.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to retreat north.

Although Yuan Tan's rout and escape were expected by Luan Yi and Guo Jia, they didn't expect him to escape so quickly. The church army was still 300 miles away from Yuyang, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi fled with their covers.

What is surprising is that in order to escape quickly, the two didn't even bring their family members, and left their mother and wife all in Yuyang.

After entering Yuyang, how to deal with these Yuan family members became the first problem Luan Yi needed to solve. Sun Qian suggested that it was better to reward all the women of the Yuan family to the heroes who had made meritorious contributions.

Xun You suggested beheading his entire family, and then hanging his head on the head of the city to set an example, so that the world could see the fate of those who opposed the church.

Luan Yi knew that the reason why Sun Qian suggested that the woman of the Yuan family be rewarded to his subordinates was because when he entered the city, after seeing Yuan Shao's wife Liu, he was obsessed with the beauty of this woman and wanted to take this opportunity to take it for private use.

So for Sun Qian's suggestion, Luan Yi categorically refused. On the one hand, although Yuan Shao has been his enemy for many years, he has also been his very good friend in the past many years. As the saying goes, a friend's wife can't be bullied, and he won't let his friend's wife change hands.

In addition, there is one more point that is crucial. He heard that after Yuan Shao's death, the Liu family did not say that he would go to settle for the soul of his former husband first, but abused all Yuan Shao's past favorite concubines to death as soon as possible. It can be seen that the Liu family is extremely jealous and vicious, and rewarding this kind of woman to Sun Qian is simply harming him.

As for Sun Gan's selfishness, Luan Yi is completely understandable. In the current era of incomparably scarce entertainment activities, any man with strong blood and temperament, who has been sleeping with the army for a year, will always have some thoughts when he smells "meat".

So, after finding out Sun Qian's thoughts, although Luan Yi did not reward him with the Liu family, he also found another woman from a good family and sent it to his house.

In addition, Luan Yi felt that Xun You's suggestion to cut off the Yuan family's relatives was too ruthless, and also refused. He complied with his advice and sent the Yuan family back to Yecheng and let them live in the Yuan family's old mansion again. From now on, the Church of Our Lady of the Earth in Jizhou will pay for the daily expenses of the Yuan family, for a period of 60 years.

In other words, the Yuan family has been a family for 60 years, and there is no need to worry about life within two generations. After the sixty-year period, they need to fight to survive on their own.

Subsequently, Luan Yi occupied Yuyang for only three days, and there were Ma Lai to report to Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi's old generals Jiao Touch, and Zhang Nan gathered people to surrender to Yanguo, Dai, Shangdang County, and most of Youzhou was included in the diocese.

Luan Yi personally met the two in Yuyang, and named them the generals of Jianzhong, the marquis, and the military affairs of the six counties of Youzhou.

But before they could cover the general's throne, they encountered Yuan Tan's old generals Zhao Qian and Huo Nu mutinied. At the same time, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi instigated Karasuma Shan Yu to launch a rebellion against the Karasuma people who had gathered the three armies of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping, and launched a fierce attack on the counties northeast of Yuyang.

Anxious, he immediately sent someone to hurry up to Luan Yi for help.

Regarding the rebellious behavior of jumping off the beam in front of him, Luan Yi naturally would not be merciful, and personally led the 80,000 troops of the church to the north to quell the rebellion. Where are clowns like Zhao Li and Huo Nu his opponents, he was defeated and arrested in only half a month. Subsequently, Karasuma Shan Yu suddenly saw that Luan Yi was powerful, and knew that he was invincible, so he followed in the footsteps of Yuan Tan, and hurriedly led his troops to hide outside the plug.

After forcing Badun outside the plug, Luan Yi did not rush to follow and chase. Instead, he left Lü Bu to garrison on the front line of the Great Wall, and he led the army to retreat to Yecheng.

The ancients had a cloud: how can a tiger snore next to the couch. Although he was a little promoted by the Tiger, after all, he had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses who could fight well, and he would bring a lot of trouble to the church at any time.

The reason why this is the case is that Luan Yi locates him as the target that needs to be hit first before Saiping Karasuma is placed.

The 30,000 cantonal army is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of church guards. It's just that Luan Yi knows that ** is not his opponent militarily, but he has a great innate advantage in the ground.

Taihang Mountain, a mountain range between Bingzhou and Jizhou, is also the only way for Luan Yi to go on his expedition. In the mountains, the mountain peaks are continuous, the cliffs and ravines are criss-crossed, and the terrain is extremely steep.

Luan Yi led the troops to fight for many years, mainly galloping in the plains and hilly areas, and it was the first time that such a pure mountain march was made.

In this area, where the population coverage is less than 5 percent, there are lofty mountains and cliffs. Most of the trails are only accessible to one person, and on the right hand side are bottomless cliffs. Looking down at the cliff with a telescope, through the rubbing mist, you can vaguely see the white bones weathered by beasts and humans after falling off the cliff, which makes people feel creepy.

It was on this road that the army of 80,000 churches marched slowly. On the way, Luan Yi ordered the guards to tie ropes to their belts and connect them with the guards in front of them, end to end, to reduce unnecessary casualties.

When they went to bed at night, the guards had to lie flat on the aisles of the mountain road and take a nap. At night, the mountain wind is very strong, don't say turn over, hang a gust of wind will lift people down the mountain. Fortunately, the method of connecting the end to the end plays its due role, and the robe that guards by his side can pull it up from the halfway up the mountain.

But that's enough to make people feel uneasy.

In addition, because the chariots and horses in the mountains were not allowed to travel together, there were also great difficulties in the transportation of grain and grass for the Church army.

Thankfully, Luan Yi's skilled craftsmen played an outstanding role at this time. The wheelbarrow jointly developed by Huang Chengyan and his daughter Huang Yueying solved the problem of heavy transportation of the army's mountain march.

Hearing that Huang Chengyan had made a wheelbarrow, Luan Yi slapped his brain, why didn't he come up with such a commonplace thing.

Then laughed at himself, people are often like this, always thinking about doing earth-shattering and changing the world, but ignoring many small details or insignificant things around them, and often these small things are the key to promoting social development.

Just like Luan Yi, for many years, Zen Jing has been thinking about what ideas to innovate or what ideals to promote, but the current feudal social environment is limited, and many ideas are just utopians.

He also mentioned the idea of the steam engine to Pu Yuan, although Pu Yuan was very interested, but under the current technical level and the knowledge of craftsmen, it is pure nonsense to talk about energy conversion. Pu Yuan took over the task and handed it over to his most proud apprentice Ma Jun to study, but it is still unknown when he will be able to make a breakthrough.

Luan Yi spent too much energy exploring the unknown, but ignored many things around him that were once familiar. is like the wheelbarrow in front of him, which can be seen everywhere on the construction site in his previous life, but he inadvertently forgot about it, but was developed by Huang Chengyan as a new thing.

In this regard, Luan Yi was deeply inspired, and decided that in the future, he must not be overly high-handed, and must start from the present, starting from the most ordinary things around him, and moving out all the things in his memory that can play a role in promoting the current society. We should then see the big from the small to the big and promote the improvement of the production efficiency of the whole society and the living standards of the people.

With a wheelbarrow in hand, it was much easier for the church army to cross the mountains, but it was still not as fast as it could be marched.

Walking in the vast mountains, looking at the church guards on the narrow mountain road that could not be seen at a glance, Luan Yi couldn't help but feel a feeling, and muttered in a low voice: "Going north to Taihang Mountain, it is difficult He Weiwei!" ”

Cao Cao, who accompanied the army on the northern expedition, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this poem, which seemed to cause some kind of strong resonance, "Hiss! Isn't the chanting of the sect leader an old question of Yuefu? How could such a small tune be sung from the mouth of the sect leader, and it was so majestic. ”

Luan Yi lowered his head and smiled. Of course it is majestic, because it was created by a great man in history. Speaking of which, this man is very big. Military strategist, politician, poet in the late Han Dynasty - this person is far away in front of him, it is Cao Cao himself! The poem is called "Bitter Cold Travel", which was written when Cao Cao led his army across the Taihang Mountains. In his previous life, Luan Yi saw this poem by chance, and felt that this poem was full of heroism in the vicissitudes of life, and he liked it very much, so he wrote it down. Now, after personally witnessing the suffering of crossing Taihang, he feels the same way, so he can't help but chant it on the march.

He went on to sing: "The sheep intestines are bent, and the wheels are destroyed. The trees are gloomy, and the north wind is sad. The bear squatted at me, and the tiger and leopard cried in the middle of the road. There are few people in the valley, and the snow falls on He Feifei! ”

Cao Cao raised his head and looked, yes, in this cold winter time, the people in the city hid at home and did not want to go out. But the church guards in front of them left their homes and businesses and walked on the path in the deep mountains. The days were better, but the nights were really hard. The fierce cold wind blew non-stop, and the three thick quilts covered with three thick quilts would still be shivering from the cold. What's even more penetrating is that in the middle of the night, the mountain is full of the howling of wild beasts, and it is really the endless cry of tigers and apes. Once, when he got up in the middle of the night to relieve himself, he had just taken off his pants when he saw a black bear staring at him not far away. The black bear didn't seem to have seen anyone, and when he saw Cao Cao holding a torch in his hand, he said that Cao Cao was a monster that could breathe fire, so he didn't dare to approach. Fortunately, Cao Cao was bold, and he did not run away timidly at that critical moment, pretending to be fierce, staring at the black bear for a while before the black bear ran away.
