Chapter 138: The Land of Soldiers, Chen Bing Million!
Chapter 138 The Land of Soldiers, Chen Bing Million!
This time to conquer Liu Biao, Liu Yi also brought Mrs. Zhang to Wancheng together.
Without him, Liu Yi wanted to work hard to see if he could let Mrs. Zhang have children with him again, so that Mrs. Zhang would definitely be able to divert her attention. At that time, even if Yuan Tan kills herself and finishes playing, with Mrs. Zhang, who has spiritual sustenance, she will not be too sad.
However, what made Liu Yi speechless was that she had been working hard since she let Mrs. Zhang meet Yuan Tan in Bohai City, but until now, she has not been able to conceive. A few days ago, the eldest aunt came, which really made Liu Yi helpless, so he simply took her on the expedition and spent more time with her to see if she could be recruited.
Of course, Mrs. Zhang herself seems to know a little bit about Liu Yi's thoughts, and she also cooperates with Liu Yi like this, in fact, why doesn't she want to have another son?
Well, for women, there really aren't many who don't want to have their own children.
Especially the women of this ancient era, even if Liu Yi has always emphasized some concepts that are not in this era, they are still women of this era after all. In their hearts, they all have a kind of heart, since they like this man and love him to the extreme, they want to pass on the family to this man.
If they can't give birth to a son and a half daughter for the man they love, they will really be angry, and no matter how Liu Yi coaxes them, they can't seem to be happy. Anyway, they usually don't show anything in front of their men, but it always makes people feel that they are a little forced to laugh.
This one. It is also the time in this era when there are so many women who can't do something for their husbands. Generally, some intercourse girls will be arranged for the husband, or the husband will be directly asked to marry another woman.
For women in this era, their lives revolve around their men, if they can't do something for their men. If she doesn't let her man take another concubine, then she is sinning. will be reprimanded and despised by the world.
Not to mention. There were too many such examples in ancient times.
Limited to the problem of the medical level in this ancient era, the average woman, before they got married, was fine. But. After becoming a parent, after they become pregnant, it is often for some reason that it will cause them to have a miscarriage or something, anyway, they can't let the child be born normally. Even, some let the child be born normally, but. But they died, and they themselves. But there is no way to conceive again.
The level of midwifery in this era is really too poor, gynecological diseases, miscarriages, or wrong midwifery, etc., will lead many women to only conceive one child in their lifetime.
Well, otherwise, why are there so many only daughters in this world? That is, after giving birth to one, because of the woman's physical reasons, she can no longer get pregnant.
Mrs. Zhang, she really has a little reason for this, according to her own words, after giving birth to Yuan Tan, she had a serious illness, and later, she has never been able to get pregnant again.
This, it's too long ago, Liu Yi is now, even if she has Yuanyang Divine Skill, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see what is wrong with her body.
Anyway, Liu Yi thinks that Mrs. Zhang should still be able to have her own children, but she has never been able to get pregnant.
And the other woman, Mrs. Wu, when she gave birth to her little grandson Shangxiang, she had already severely damaged a certain part of her body. Although Liu Yi healed her, he could no longer heal the damaged parts of her. Therefore, she no longer has children with Lewy. However, she is different from Mrs. Zhang, she has three or four sons and one daughter, and, at present, Sun Ce, Sun Quan, etc., are still filial to Mrs. Zhang, and she will not be like Mrs. Zhang, who often worries about her son.
There is also Mrs. Yi, and Liu Yi finds that she can no longer be pregnant.
Well, among the women around Liu Yi, there are actually a small number of women who can't get pregnant, and this is all due to the low level of medical care in this era.
Anyway, Liu Yi found that the women around him, who had children before, were generally a little difficult to conceive again.
Well, saying this, it's just that Liu Yi wants his women to be as happy as possible, so that they have nothing to worry about in their hearts, and they can live happily with themselves.
Sometimes, holding a child and having fun with the girls is also a joy of life.
Sima Ruyan and his mother Xuanyuan Feng and her sister also returned, and they planned to go back to their parents' house to see, not the home of the Yingchuan Academy, but their Xuanyuan family hidden in the mountains.
She has been in Luoyang for many years, not idle, secretly has been paying attention to the situation in Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty, they think that judging from the situation in Luoyang, the day of peace in the world is coming, and she returned to Xuanyuan's house to persuade the people of her family to officially take refuge in Liu Yi.
Liu Yi knew that his family should have a lot of strange people, and even, Liu Yi faintly felt that this Xuanyuan family had a relationship similar to the martial arts league that later generations said, and his family should have an incomparable appeal among some strange people. If the Xuanyuan family is effective, it may allow them to unify the Han Dynasty, especially for the future governance of the Han Dynasty.
Well, there is a little caution, Liu Yi didn't dare to show it, that is, I don't know why, every time Liu Yi saw Sima Ruyan's mother-in-law Xuanyuan Feng, he felt a little bit of ape in his heart, it seemed that this mother-in-law was more attractive to Liu Yi than that Xuanyuan aunt. Well, now, Xuanyuan Feng is over forty years old, in her forties, but over the years, no matter how Liu Yi looks at it, she doesn't seem to have changed at all, she is still so amazing.
Alas, Liu Yi's heart is really entangled. Especially in front of her, I always feel that she has a faint majesty, so that Liu Yi does not dare to show any bad intentions.
Many times, Liu Yi only dared to secretly peek at his graceful figure behind his back.
Damn, does Liu Yi feel that he is really in a demonic obstacle, why does he always have special feelings for that kind of many times?
Fortunately, there are many such beautiful women around him to satisfy Leo's hunger. Otherwise. Liu Yi is afraid that he will really go crazy.
Many times, Liu Yi really thought that Sima Hui could make something unfavorable to him, so as to do so. Liu Yi had an excuse to Xuanyuan Feng.
But this father-in-law, since he sent his son and nephew Sima Yi to Luoyang, he seems to have disappeared without a trace, and he doesn't know what he is trying to do.
Well, don't go far.
Let's say that Liu Yi led the army to Wancheng.
This news has already been sent to Liu Biao and Cao Cao by Pegasus.
After all, Wancheng boundary. bordering the territory of Liu Biao and Cao Cao's forces, as long as the New Han army moves in Wancheng, it will inevitably involve their nerves.
Liu Biao is also good. Whether it is Cao Cao or not, they all have to be wary of whether Liu Yi will use Wancheng as a stepping board to send troops to their territory of influence.
Except, of course, for the two princes with heavy armies. and Liu Bei in Xinye. He was also the first to know about the situation.
First of all, Liu Biao's reaction, he actually felt it a long time ago, knowing that he was impulsive this time, and he couldn't suppress his ambition for a while, I was afraid that he would really invite a catastrophe.
In fact, when he was impulsive, he announced an alliance with Cao Cao to send troops to denounce Liu Yi. When Lewis sent a messenger to rebuke him and deliver a disc. He kind of regretted it.
However, there is also a little bit of a man's dignity problem, although there is no evidence that the Cai family he loves is directly shown to be abducted by Liu Yi, but now the Cai family is unwilling to return home, which makes the suspicious Liu Biao have to wonder if his wife Cai was deceived by Liu Yi.
Therefore, at that time, in his heart, he actually had a belly of resentment and formed an alliance with Cao Cao.
What's more, according to Cao Cao's envoy, it seems that he really has no way out except to bow his head to Liu Yi and submit to him. Regardless of whether he allied himself with Cao Cao and launched an attack on the New Han Dynasty, he would be destroyed by Liu Yi. It's just a matter of time.
In addition, at that time, Cao Cao also hinted that if he did not form an alliance with him, Cao Cao would inevitably take advantage of Liu Yi's attack on Yuan Shao because he could not confront the New Han army, and would inevitably take advantage of Liu Yi's attack on Yuan Shao to send troops to expand his territory, in order to gain greater strength to confront Liu Yi, and even divide the world equally in the future. Therefore, it is bound to take him Liu Biao first.
In other words, no matter how Liu Biao chooses, he will have to face the war.
And if he forms an alliance with Cao Cao, then he may get a longer period of peace and happiness.
Therefore, Liu Biao could only form an alliance with Cao Cao.
It's a pity that his military horses still can't make achievements in the end. After seeing that Cao Cao was only thundering and raining, he didn't dare to officially launch a real attack on Xiongguan such as Bishui and Tiger Prison. In this way, he Liu Biao did not dare to attack the New Han Dynasty alone.
However, because a large army had already been mobilized, Liu Biao did not dare to take the initiative to attack the New Han Dynasty, but he used these hundreds of thousands of military horses to build a consolidated defense line around Xiangyang to prevent Liu Yi from attacking him.
At this time, Liu Biao had an army of about 300,000 people, and Chen Yu was north of Xiangyang to Wancheng.
Liu Yi is now less than 200,000 troops, and if he wants to attack Liu Biao, he is at a disadvantage in terms of troops.
In addition, Cao Cao sent Cao Ren, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Man Pang and other generals and strategists, and also led an army of 200,000 to fly to Xiangcheng.
Liu Bei, at the request of Liu Biao, also took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with 30,000 military horses, from Xinye, along the east bank of the Yingshui River, along the river, all the way through Le'an County, to Lushan County, which is across the river from Wancheng, and the army came down.
For a time, because of Liu Yi's movements, Wancheng, Xiangcheng, Lushan County, and Jiaxia, Anzhong and other counties north of Xiangyang attracted a total of more than 500,000 troops.
If you add the garrison of Xiangyang and Liu Yi's military horses, the total strength of the military horses of these four directions is afraid to be close to one million.
This battle is really not too easy to fight, and if it is not done well, it will cause his three parties to join forces and attack Liu Yi's 160,000 or 70,000 military horses.
In fact, most of Cao Cao's current military horses are left along the Yellow River and in front of the Bishui Pass, otherwise, Cao Cao's military horses may come more, and even Cao Cao will personally conquer.
Also, if you really want to find a general battle, a big battle, the strength of these four sides may increase at any time, and when the time comes, far more than a million troops will fight in Wancheng.
Liu Biao seems to have been forced to have no choice, unless he is willing to submit to Liu Yi and be Liu Yi's subordinate, otherwise, he must be ready for battle, and he has not reached the last moment. He must also stand up for a while, and be sure to put on a posture that if you dare to come, I will dare to fight.
Ultimately. This is because Liu Yi has split multiple battlefields and his troops are scattered, and he was unable to transfer a million troops to deal with him Liu Biao at once, which gave Liu Biao a little confidence.
What's more, even if he formed an alliance with Cao Cao, neither side could act according to the original plan, this so-called alliance. It's a bit of a nominal existence, but its name is still there.
Plus. When Cao Cao received that Liu Yi personally led the army to Wancheng, he was even more nervous than Liu Biao, because he understood the truth of cold lips and teeth better than anyone else. At the moment, Yuan Shao didn't expect much of it. But. Liu Biao still has a complete army of hundreds of thousands, if he wants to stop the New Han Dynasty from unifying the Han Dynasty, he must firmly hold Liu Biao together, and must not let Liu Biao be defeated, otherwise, he Cao Cao will have no way to confront the New Han Dynasty.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao feels really depressed now.
The excavation of the New Han Dynasty made Cao Cao feel that he was one step behind. Just step by step behind Leoy's feelings.
He established the imperial court later than Liu Yi and expanded his territory. is not as smooth as Liu Yi, so that now, even if he occupies the richest Central Plains region of the Han Dynasty, he can't keep up with Liu Yi's development speed and expansion efforts.
What made Cao Cao want to vomit blood the most was that now, even if he wanted to develop and expand, he couldn't start for a while.
This, even Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who he regarded as my son's house, with their great talents, for a while, there was no very good countermeasure to break the current situation that was unfavorable to Cao Cao.
Now, the New Han Dynasty has taken the lead and has sent troops to fight for the world, and he Cao Cao, who comes and goes, can only toss in the states of Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, and Henan, and when he thinks that he is pacified and can increase his efforts to develop, the New Han Dynasty does not give him time to develop.
Think about it, Liu Yi won Luoyang from Dong Zhuo, established the New Han Dynasty, and won Si Lizhou, at that time, his Cao Cao's strength should be said to be about the same as Liu Yi, and even a little thicker than Liu Yi.
When Liu Yihuo took millet and made it impossible to recapture the state from the hands of the Xiongnu army. He Cao Cao, but he got 400,000 Qingzhou troops, and the shape was very good.
When he won Emperor Xian, but Liu Yi won Yongzhou, it was a tie.
The turning point may be just after that, Liu Yi sent troops to the desert, he sent troops to Xuzhou, as a result, Liu Yi destroyed the Xiongnu, the prestige was shocked, and the northwest desert that the previous dynasties have been trying to attribute to China for thousands of years was classified as the territory of China, and it was also the time when the new Han Dynasty suddenly gained a vast and boundless territory of power. But because he Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, he almost lost his hometown.
Liu Bei is here, Lu Bu is here, an unknown little person, but he is extremely difficult, like a little person who can't kill Xiaoqiang; An invincible god of war with a mighty man, General Fei. In order to deal with them, Cao Cao really spent a lot of effort.
With great difficulty, these difficulties were eliminated one by one, and with great difficulty, some other obstacles were solved, and even the attack with another powerful prince, Yuan Shao, was defeated.
When Cao Cao wanted to take a breath, he suddenly found that his pace was so slow, far from keeping up with Liu Yi's rhythm.
Now, Cao Cao wants to cry, but he wants to cry without tears.
Now, what should I do if I call him?
Cao Cao wanted to seize Jizhou, but the army of the New Han Army pressed the border, and Yuan Shao did not accept his affection and did not form an alliance with him, so he did not dare to rashly wave his army to cross the Yellow River to the north. In fact, even if Yuan Shao formed an alliance with him, he waved his army across the Yellow River and went north, I am afraid that he could only confront the New Han army in Jizhou. Because, it was impossible for him to and did not dare to put all his troops into the battlefield of Jizhou to fight a decisive battle with the New Han army. Because, the strength of the New Han Army on the battlefield in Jizhou is only a part of the New Han Army. He Cao Cao dared to invest all his troops, so the New Han Army was like Lu Bu left his backyard empty and stabbed him chrysanthemum, so what would happen to him?
Because the New Han army occupies Wancheng, occupies the Yangtze River Valley, and can still send troops from the sea, if he Cao Cao does not guard against this aspect, it will be simply self-defeating.
If you want to develop in Jiangdong again, this is the same reason as wanting to develop in Jizhou, and you always feel that you are restricted everywhere. What's more, Jizhou is a matter of great importance, and it is impossible for him to transfer the military horses guarding the Yellow River.
The only thing left was to attack Jingzhou, or directly attack Luoyang of the New Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Biao is not easy to fight, he also has hundreds of thousands of troops, he does not mobilize more military horses, and he does not want to say that he can defeat Liu Biao. Directly attack the New Han Dynasty? Hehe, don't laugh, where to attack? Tiger Prison? He sighed now.
If it weren't for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defeating Lu Bu, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo would not be able to force Dong Zhuo to flee without a fight and move the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an.
Now, it is not easy to attack directly from the Tiger Prison Pass.
In fact, to attack the New Han Dynasty, Cao Cao thought that in fact, it was only from Wancheng, and only there could he have the opportunity to attack Luoyang, but that was Liu Biao's territory, and Liu Biao was also very taboo against him Cao Cao, and he would not agree to attack the New Han Dynasty from Wancheng with his troops at all.
And let Liu Biao open the situation alone, but Liu Biao was powerless, so Cao Cao could really only look up to the sky and sigh, helpless.
Now, however, Cao Cao believes that it may be an opportunity to break the deadlock. As long as Liu Yi really fights with Liu Biao, or forces Liu Biao to have a big battle with Liu Yi in Wancheng, then he Cao Cao will have a chance.
However, Cao Cao believes that this matter should not be too hasty. At least, he can't do it in person for the time being, if he does it, whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Yi, they may have scruples about him, so this battle may not be able to be fought. Therefore, for the time being, he can only put on a defensive posture, or it seems to support Liu Biao. (To be continued......)
