Volume 3 Horse Stepping on Kansai Chapter 1 Fighting on Two Fronts
The first year of Jian'an, October.
This month, two major events have happened in the world.
The first is that Kang Chenggong and Kong Wenju were assassinated in Xuchang, although they were not successful, but they were somewhat frightened.
This news directly shocked the world. You must know that these two people are one of the most famous celebrities today, Kong Rong Kong Wenju will not talk about it, this product is said to be the descendants of Kong Shengren, and the identity and status can be imagined in the minds of scholars.
And Kang Cheng Gong Zheng Xuan Zheng Kangcheng is today's great Confucian, who can be described as a peach and plum all over the world, and is a master in the minds of scholars all over the world. And, most importantly, these two people were actually assassinated in Xuchang, what does this mean?
Lao Cao was directly furious when he heard the news, and then not long after, it was rumored that it was Yizhou's annihilation that did it.
Liu Xie was very helpless, and he was also shot while lying down. However, he will not let Lao Cao feel better, and directly said that this must be Lao Cao's thief shouting to catch the thief, and he does not want the two famous scholars to come to Yizhou to compile books. As a result, the water was directly muddyed by this shout.
What made Lao Cao vomit blood was that Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong were not afraid of the threat of assassins and resolutely went to Yizhou.
For this matter, there are many people who believe in Liu Xie, because Liu Xie will never do this kind of thing, Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong led their disciples to Yizhou, which is definitely an extremely important event for Liu Xie, which is equivalent to recognizing Liu Xie's orthodox identity, how could Liu Xie be so stupid and do such a stupid thing that benefits others and is not beneficial to himself? Even if you want to frame Lao Cao, you won't use such stupid means!
And those who believe in Lao Cao feel that Liu Xie wants to blame Lao Cao, or that others want to blame Lao Cao. No matter how stupid Lao Cao is, he won't do such a stupid thing on his own territory! What's in it for Lao Cao?
So, the last spearhead was basically directed at Boss Yuan. Because Boss Yuan once invited Zheng Xuangong out of the mountain, but Zheng Xuangong refused. And Kong Wenju because Lao Cao and Yuan Boss both set up a new monarch, he was angry, so he naturally would not give these two people a good face, and he had scolded these two people, Lao Yuan must have wanted to kill Kong Rong in his heart. The motive is there, he doesn't lack strength, and he can still blame Lao Cao and slap Lao Cao hard, why wouldn't he do it?
Yuan Shao said with tears streaming down his face, Nima! Lao Tzu was also shot while lying down!
So, Lao Yuan jumped out directly and scolded Lao Cao for being shameless, pointing out that this must have been done by his Lao Cao. Lao Cao is his hair small, and he has done a lot of things since he was a child, and he knows all this. With Lao Cao's shameless character, this thing can definitely be done.
And it is precisely because Xuchang is his Lao Cao's territory that everyone thinks he is impossible, in fact, the most likely is his Lao Cao. He, Lao Cao, must hate Emperor Xiaoxian and didn't want Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong to go to Yizhou to compile books, so he came to this bitter plan.
Of course, this matter will naturally not be resolved later. However, the guards of Zheng Xuangong and his group were strengthened several times.
And another major event is that Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui finally turned against each other.
First of all, Ma Chao was disrespectful to Han Sui and spoke disrespectfully, Yan Xing was angry and stabbed Chao with a spear, but the spear was broken, but Yan Xing used a broken spear and almost strangled Ma Chao, and the two fought. First, there was a skirmish, and then the two sides completely tore their faces, and all the small contradictions that had accumulated broke out for a while.
As soon as Li Guo's two thieves saw this situation, they directly sent someone to persuade them, saying that if they continued to fight, they could only be the guy who was eyeing Yizhou.
As a result, Ma and Han really shook hands and made peace. After getting the news, Liu Xie slapped the table and was secretly annoyed.
So, at the beginning of November, 30,000 soldiers and horses protruded in Hanzhong, with Chen Zhi as the main general, Zhang Ren as the deputy general, Jia Xu as the military division, Yan Yan, Xi You, Gong Zhi, Pei Yuanshao, etc., with the praise slope road as the main road, the meridian road as the auxiliary road, and the soldiers pointed directly at Guanzhong.
In fact, it is still a question whether the meridian road can be passed, because it has been abandoned for many years.
Historically, Liu ran north out of Hanzhong and wanted to attack Changhan, and Zhu Ge suggested taking the Chencang Road, but Wei Yan proposed to lead the secret troops to the Meridian Valley. However, out of prudence, Brother Zhu rejected Wei Yan's adventurous idea, and finally failed to attack Cao.
Many people in later generations are saying that if Brother Zhu is willing to listen to Wei Yan's adventurous ideas, maybe Liu Ranran will not be trapped in Yizhou.
This if, it is very unreasonable, because no one can be sure that this method can be successful, and the caution of the brothers is not unreasonable. But now that Liu Xie is back, he naturally won't give up his plan to give it a try, so he picked up Meridian Valley's adventurous move.
After receiving this news, Guanzhong Li and Guo directly blew up their wings. Liu Xie's development in Yizhou, Li Guo and the others naturally know. They also knew that when Liu Xie's wings were growing, he would come to them sooner or later to make trouble. But what they didn't expect was that this revenge would come so quickly.
So, they sent a letter directly to Ma and Han in Xiliang, hoping that they would send troops to Hanzhong, come to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, or rush to the aid of Chang'an.
But at this time, Ma and Han didn't have time to care about them, because they were also facing Liu Xie's army!
That's right, Liu Xie set up two other armies, one with himself as the main general, Tai Shici as the deputy general, Guo Jia and Yang Fu as the main and deputy military divisions, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops went out of Chencang Road. On the other hand, Xu Huang was the main general, Guan Yu was the deputy general, and Lu Su was the division, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses, of which 10,000 were barbarians, and went north to Qishan, and the soldiers pointed directly at Wudu County.
Liu Xie's 30,000 soldiers and horses were composed of the Flying Rain Army, Shenwuwei, Chilongwei, and Luanwei battalions, plus 3,000 heavily armored infantry, and thousands of auxiliaries and baggage soldiers.
The Flying Rain Army is composed of the original shooting sound battalion and the new shooting sound battalion, plus 1,000 cavalry from Liaohua, and 1,000 cavalry from the Dongzhou army, and there are only 4,000 soldiers and horses at present. The 3,000 heavy armored infantry was composed of 1,000 strong battalions led by Zhou Cang and 2,000 barbarian strong men, with heavy armor and Mo swords.
The heavy cavalry could not be formed at present due to war horses, so it had to be abandoned first.
Shenwu Wei is still only five hundred, and Red Dragon Wei is only three hundred. Although there are 1,000 people in the Luanwei battalion, they are all female soldiers, and Liu Xie just plans to pull them out to see the blood, and at the same time, he can also assist the military medical troops. The military medical corps is much larger than ever, with hundreds of female nurses.
Zhuge Ling also wanted to go with the army, but was rejected by Liu Xie. Although he was selfish, Liu Xie couldn't watch him go into danger.
In addition, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu also led their subordinates to participate in the war. It can be said that Liu Xie's army is absolutely super strong in combat effectiveness and is the main force.
And Xu Huang's team, there are too many recruits, especially the 10,000 barbarians, most of the barbarians are used as baggage soldiers.
The sum of the three armies, the army of 80,000, immediately attracted the attention of the entire world.
……
Lao Cao, who is still cleaning up Yuan Lao's second child, received the news, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and had to secretly praise Liu Xie's ambition.
Cheng Yu also sighed lightly, "This filial piety emperor's courage is too big, fighting on two fronts, can he afford it?" No, his main force should be placed on the Xiliang side, and the Si Li side should just be a feint......"
Lao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu frowned and said: "Yu is not sure what this Majesty thinks, perhaps, both!" ”
Lao Cao nodded and said, "Indeed, so-and-so also thinks the same way." It seems that we need to speed up, and the longer we drag, the slower our pace will be! ”
"Lord, let's go all out of it! Anyway, that unrighteous child is already almost fighting with Yuan Highway! ”
"Hmmm! Pass my orders......"
……
When Lao Yuan in Jizhou heard the news, his brows were much tighter than that of Lao Cao Ke, because Lao Yuan knew very well that if Liu Xie got Xiliang or Si Li, it would be equivalent to giving Liu Xie wings. Before, Liu Xie had no cavalry and could not buy war horses from the Western Liangqiang people, so he turned to buy inferior bantam horses from the Northern Xiongnu, this news, he was clear, and because of this, Lao Yuan did not make any moves.
But if Xiliang is captured by them, then Xiliang's Qianghu Iron Cavalry will become Liu Xie's Qianghu Iron Cavalry, and then he Yuan Shao will face great pressure.
Lao Cao is a little better, as long as he guards the major checkpoints in the west, he can stop Liu Xie's troops, but he is different, his merger and Jizhou will be bordered by Sili and Xiliang, and there is almost no danger to defend. If he can't clean up the white horse grandson in time, he will be under great pressure in the future.
So, he also ordered the generals to speed up the speed of cleaning up the white horse grandson.
As a result, because of this change, Lao Yuan cleaned up the white horse grandson at any cost, and as a result, the speed of the white horse grandson's demise was two years faster than in history.
……
And Jingzhou, when they received the news, just sneered, and at the same time was glad that they didn't bother them. Because of their war with Zhang Xiu, they have fallen into anxiety, and the two sides have come and gone, winning and losing, but overall, it is impossible for Jingzhou to recover Nanyang.
But halfway through the battle, it can't end directly. Especially Cai Mao, the main general, because he has fought so far, he is basically equivalent to losing. Jingzhou has a strong backing, but it only tied with the other party, what does this mean? So, he naturally refused to admit defeat.
Before, they were worried that Liu Association would stab them in the back, but seeing the current situation, everyone's hearts were relieved.
……
As for Jiangdong, it has no impact, because they know very well that no matter how strong Liu Xie is, he will not be able to affect them for a while. And they can't affect Liu Xie either, there is a Jingzhou in between! And their current situation is also unstable, especially the Yamagoe issue!
……
On the Xiliang side, Ma Han and the others frowned, and among the forces of the two, it was Ma Teng's forces that directly faced Liu Xie's front.
Although the current situation is still good for Han Sui, he also hopes that Ma Teng can suffer a big loss. But this is just thinking about it, if there is no Ma Teng in his way, with his own strength, it is estimated that he will not be able to stop Liu Xie's footsteps.
Although Liu Xiejun did not have many cavalry, since Liu Xie dared to send troops, it meant that he already had a way to deal with their iron cavalry.
Han Sui also knew in his heart that if he didn't help Ma Teng, after Liu Xie cleaned up Ma Teng, the next thing to clean up was him Han Sui. (To be continued.) )
