Chapter 60 The Central Plains Pattern
If you want to dominate the Central Plains, you must first fight for the three treasures of the Central Plains!
The first place, indisputable, Luoyang, the old capital of the Han Dynasty! Luoyang is located in the north of Songshan Mountain, the south of the Yellow River, in the embrace of the mountains, but the transportation is convenient, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the throat of the Central Plains to Xiliang, the climate is suitable, the grain is abundant, can be self-sufficient to raise millions of soldiers and horses! There is Tiger Pass in the east and Tongguan Pass in the west. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The second place is Nanyang County, which is located in the south of Songshan Mountain and is a basin with a very good geographical location. Needless to say, the Yellow River in Luoyang, Songshan Mountain in the north, is a natural barrier, the Qinling Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles in the west, the existence of more than a thousand miles in the east of Funiu Mountain, and the Hanshui, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River in the south, is more wonderful is that in the northeast corner of Nanyang County, the Funiu Mountains have opened a big pass, this pass is based on the water, and it is very convenient to pass large carriages and horses. Nanyang is slightly worse than Luoyang in terms of easy defense and difficult attack, but Nanyang has thousands of miles of fertile land and is densely populated, and it is the throat of the Central Plains to the south and southwest.
The third place is the area of Mount Tai Mountain, or the branch of Mount Tai, 800 miles of water Boliang Mountain. The Liangshan Mountains are divided into Qinglong Mountain, Tiger Mountain, Turtle Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, and the main vein of Liangshan Mountain. These five mountain ranges span dozens of counties in Dongjun, Dongping, Renchengguo, Luguo, and Shanyang County, and are at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, almost the entire southern part of the Taishan Mountain Range, and the water flow in the northern part of the Central Plains are all gathered in Liangshanbo, and the water surface is sparkling and scaly for hundreds of miles. And in the north, the Yellow River, Jishui is two natural defense lines, creating a unique geography of Liangshan, speaking of easy to defend and difficult to attack only in Nanyang, the product is more abundant, but unfortunately it is not the throat of the place, can only rank third.

June 1 in the summer of the first year of Xingping
Twenty miles north of Pingyu City, Runan County, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and thirteen mighty cavalrymen galloped on horseback, and the dust flew all the way on the official road behind them.
These thirteen people are none other than Feng Yao and others who were ordered to return to Pingyu to recruit troops.
These thirteen people are Feng Yao, Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, Dai Ling, Xu Xian, Zhou Zheng, Zhang Shi, Wang Ba, He Tong, He Tie, Chen Ren, Zhao Wang, and Liu Shun.
Each cavalryman carried an iron-tired bow on his back, and twenty short arrows in his quiver at his waist.
Although they are all light bow cavalry, almost every cavalry has more than one special weapon, Feng Yao's long sword middle shield, Zhou Cang's black dragon devouring sun knife, Chen Zhizhang's ten python spear, Dai Ling's sky-breaking mace and stainless steel shield, Xu Xian's stainless steel saber middle shield, Zhou Zheng's ghost head knife, He Tong's big shield short knife, He Tie's big shield short knife, Wang Ba's big shield short knife, Zhang Shi's big shield short knife, Chen Ren's long spear, Zhao Wang's short axe middle shield, Liu Shun's short halberd small shield. In addition to this, all were equipped with a uniform, more than a foot long dagger with a handle.
Feng Yao's face was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, in addition to issuing various orders from time to time, he was a focused horse galloping! Because Runan has fallen again, this time it is not a simple rebellion of the displaced people, but the Yellow Turban Army has just captured Runan County! This is the information that Feng Yaogang obtained from the people who fled on the road.
……
At the same time, in Xuzhou Xiapi City, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died of a serious illness!
Since Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the second time not long ago, after breaking several cities, Tao Qian was frightened, in order to avoid Cao Cao's edge, he hurriedly moved the state from Tancheng to Xiapi City, but the fright and hard work of the past few days coupled with the water and soil adaptation, Tao's old disease recurred, and soon died with hatred.
In the lobby of the state capital, a blue ribbon and silver seal were placed on the table upright, and on the main seat behind the table, Tao Qian could no longer sit on it.
There were several people sitting in the lobby, Tao Qian's henchman Zhonglang General Cao Bao, Diannong Lieutenant Chen Deng, Don't Drive Mi Zhu, Yuzhou Thorn History Liu Bei, and the original Yangzhou Thorn History Chen Yu
Several people kept arguing, and sometimes they would turn their eyes to the state seal.
Whoever has this official seal and a letter of appointment can become the new state pastor of Xuzhou!
Cao Bao said loudly: "Tao Envoy Jun died because of Cao Thief, whoever wants to take over the position of Tao Gong must be able to avenge Tao Gong and fight against Cao Thief!" I think that today, only Lu Wenhou in the new Yanzhou has the ability and courage! The rest are timid and afraid of things, and they dare not be the enemy of Cao thief! ”
Chen Deng, the captain of the Diannong school, laughed and said: "General Cao, Lu Bu has just arrived in Yanzhou, and the place has not been secured, if he is allowed to take the position of Xuzhou, I am afraid that Yanzhou will be recovered by Cao Cao again soon, and what are you talking about to fight against Cao Cao?" I recommend my uncle Yangzhou Thorn Shi to take over as Xuzhou Mu! ”
Cao Bao sneered: "Captain Chen, your Chen family is not for that little selfish gain!" It's better to do this, let's directly welcome Shouchun Yuan Shu to take charge of Xuzhou, with the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, I don't think anyone will have an opinion! Moreover, Yuan Shu hates Cao Cao the most, and will definitely attack Cao with all his strength to avenge Tao Gong! ”
Don't be persuaded by Mi Zhu: "Everyone, if we continue to argue like this, it will only cause civil strife, if we can't elect the governor as soon as possible, the imperial court will soon send another official, I'm afraid that it will be bad for everyone!" ”
"What's the best way to stop driving?" Cao Bao asked.
"It is most suitable to ask Liu Xuande and Liu Tingshi to serve as the state pastor!" Mi Zhu said.
“……”
Cao Bao thought to himself: "Chen Deng's Chen family's power is too great, it's better to bear with it for the time being, Liu Bei has just been defeated by Cao Cao recently, he should hate Cao Cao very much, right?" As long as Tao Gong's revenge is avenged, what else do I have to say! So he also nodded slightly, and said, "Can Liu Jun be the enemy of Cao Cao for the revenge of Tao Gong?" ”
Liu Bei said angrily: "Cao thief slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou, I hate to cut off his head!" ”
Cao Bao said happily: "In this way, I am willing to assist Liu Jun!" ”
Chen Deng saw that his plan failed, although he was reluctant, but most of the military power in Xuzhou was in the hands of Cao Bao, and he didn't mess around, and then thought about it, "If Liu Bei can be invited out of Peiguo, maybe my father Peiguo can better expand his strength secretly, let Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fight each other first, Lu Bu and Cao Cao will fight, and then both will lose, Puyang Chen Palace, Pingyu Chen Ying, plus my father Peiguo Chen Jue, and I secretly support in Xuzhou, the Central Plains will be at your fingertips!" ”
"Hehe, I also think Liu Jun is the most suitable!" Chen Denglang laughed.
……
A month ago, due to the mutual fighting of Xuzhou, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Tao Qian, and Lu Bu, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, Funiushan, Runan, Xuzhou and other places took advantage of the situation to gather a large number of displaced people, and rose again, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war between the princes of all parties to quickly attack the city and seize the county in Runan, and the county was also captured not long ago.
After the Yellow Turban Army took Pingyu City, it elected Liu Pi, a clan member of the Han family, as the leader, Liu Pi did not let the Yellow Turban Army loot everywhere, but vigorously developed agriculture, let the Yellow Turban Army Tuntian outside, and vigorously remediated and took in the displaced people.
Feng Yao didn't know these specific circumstances, and quietly killed several Yellow Turban scouts who were out to inquire about the news along the way, and when he arrived at the edge of the forest in Taolinju, Feng Yao ordered everyone to be on guard, move forward slowly, and after handing over the horses to Chen Zhi to lead, he took Zhou Cang to sneak into the woods first, and felt ...... in the direction of Taolinju.
"I hope the Thirteen Righteousness are okay with them!" Feng Yao cautiously pulled out a branch full of green leaves that stood in front of him, trying not to destroy everything around him, so as not to let any enemy find out his whereabouts.
