In 194 of Huaxia, the October princes responded to Liu Tai's holy decree. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Obviously, the princes did not refuse Liu Tai's request, after all, Liu Tai's move was to save the people of Li, if the princes did not allow it, the people's hearts would really be lost at that time. How could the princes do such a thing that outweighs the losses?

However, the princes agreed to Liu Tai, which will also have a very big impact on the princes. After all, Liu Tai's move is obviously buying people's hearts, and when the time comes, the people's hearts will go to Liu Tai's side, and the princes are still playing fart? In fact, the princes have another choice, that is, to contribute their own money and efforts to help the people tide over the difficulties, but in fact, how many princes are willing?

Of course, even if you don't want to, sometimes you have to do it. For example, Cao Ying of Lianghuai, the eastern part of Yuzhou is Cao Ying's territory, the population base in the east is relatively large, and the number of people is very large, although Cao Ying has participated in several battles over the years, the government treasury is still relatively sufficient, with the support of the government treasury, only responsible for the rations of the people in the eastern part of Yuzhou, Cao Ying can still do it.

But Xuzhou also has Cao Ying's territory, Xuzhou has always been a continent of population, and now Cao Ying has to help the people in the east of Yuzhou to tide over the difficulties, and actively prepare grain and grass to resist the southward movement of the Tianci army. Does Cao Ying have so much grain and grass? The most important thing is that Yuan Shao's 150,000 army in the north also has Cao Ying to be responsible for ordering food, so in this case, Cao Ying is powerless in Xuzhou.

In fact, the most serious situation is the Xuzhou area, and now most of Xuzhou is under Yuan Shao's control. Although Xuzhou is rich, Yuan Shao's foundation has been destroyed by Liu Tai, and most of the grain and grass hoarded in Qingzhou have also had time to be transported out.

Of course, if the gate lord clan is willing to help Yuan Shao with all his might, there is no problem in saving the people of Xuzhou from fire and water. But millions of people in Xuzhou, how much grain and grass is enough? How could the gate lord clan be reluctant? This is definitely unrealistic.

Even if Yuan Shao asked the Gate Lords to provide money and food, that pitiful figure would be a drop in the bucket for saving millions of people. In this way, it would be impossible for Yuan Shao to prevent Liu Tai's grain dispatch team from moving south into the Xuzhou area. Yuan Shao is not a fool, the hearts of the people in Xuzhou have been accepted by Liu Tai, so there is no point in continuing to struggle.

So Yuan Shao put forward a request, that is, the team that sends grain cannot play a banner in northern Xinjiang alone, and Yuan Shao is also responsible for contributing part of the money and grain, of course, Yuan Shao's grain and grass are not worth mentioning compared to Liu Tai, but it is much better than a cold eye, right?

In 194 in China, in November, a large number of grain and grass troops sent by northern Xinjiang went south from the north of the Yellow River, and countless grain and grass were sent to the major states and counties of the Central Plains. For Liu Tai's life-saving grace, all the people in the entire Central Plains are grateful.

Although there is a bit of an episode in the middle, it cannot be denied that the people's hearts are now on Liu Tai's side, and for Liu Tai's southern expedition, including the troops and soldiers of the major princes of the Central Plains, the mentality of resistance is getting weaker and weaker.

At the same time, the alliance of princes held an emergency meeting, because in Shuzhong, there were great changes, and it turned out that in the offensive and defensive battle of the Sword Pavilion, the alliance side suffered a big loss, showing that the last barrier of the Sword Pavilion was lost.

Huang Zhong is worthy of being a veteran, when the enemy army is three times his own, he also beat the Sword Pavilion to the ground, you must know that there are 150,000 defenders in the Sword Pavilion at this time. Among them, 100,000 were Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses, and 50,000 were Sun Jian's reinforcements.

Sun Jian didn't mention it for the time being, Liu Xuan's 100,000 soldiers and horses can be said to have exhausted all the strength in Shuzhong. If there is any big loss of these 100,000 soldiers and horses, then even Liu Miao will be powerless. Under the continuous war, the central Shu region has been exhausted, countless fertile fields have been wasted, the people have been displaced, and the gate lord clan has oppressed the people in every possible way, making the situation in Shuzhong extremely unstable.

The big thing that happened in the Sword Pavilion this time was naturally caused by the Heavenly Army led by Huang Zhong. The combat power of the Tianci Army is obvious to all, after more than a year of adaptation, the mountain combat is no longer very difficult for the Tianci Army, and after adapting to the combat environment, it is naturally the turn of the Tianci Army to play its combat power.

With the support of various siege weapons, even if the Sword Pavilion was garrisoned by an army of 150,000, it was extremely unreliable. Among these siege weapons, especially the artillery has the strongest lethality to the Sword Pavilion, you know, artillery is the secret weapon of Northern Xinjiang, because of the excessive lethality, so it has rarely appeared on the battlefield, but because of the environment in Yizhou, Liu Tai allocated five extremely powerful and long-range No. 4 guns to Huang Zhong. (Note: From the study of artillery in Northern Xinjiang to the official use on the battlefield, there are a total of four models, and the first three models have been abandoned for various reasons.) Under the bombardment of five No. 4 guns, the so-called majestic city wall of the Sword Pavilion was so shattered that it was almost directly bombarded. Under such circumstances, do the Shu Zhongjun and Jingnan's Sun Jianjun still have the confidence to defend the Sword Pavilion? Under the discouragement of the army, the Tianci army became more and more courageous, and hit the head of the Sword Pavilion several times, and the Shuzhong army and Sun Jian's army suffered extremely heavy losses.

In this battle, if it weren't for Sun Jian's brave command of his soldiers and horses to defeat the Tianci army from the city, perhaps the Sword Pavilion would have been lost a long time ago. But because of this, Sun Jian was targeted by Huang Zhong, a veteran! Obviously, in the city, Huang Zhong and Sun Jian had a hand-to-hand duel, because the situation was too chaotic, and no one knew the victory or defeat between the two sides.

But after the war, Sun Jian's injuries were extremely serious, and he seemed to be on the bed as if he had entered the final moment. Obviously, the duel between Sun Jian and Huang Zhong was obviously won by Huang Zhong. With Huang Zhong in charge, the situation of the Sword Pavilion is even more dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that the surname is filling the gap, how long can the Sword Pavilion hold on?

Even if the Shu Zhong Army and Sun Jian's army filled the gap with their lives, the morale of the Shu Zhong Army was extremely bad, everyone understood that if Sun Jian could not return to the battlefield in a short time, then the loss of the Sword Pavilion was already an inevitable thing, and if the Sword Pavilion was lost, the entire Shu Central Region would be like a big girl who had been stripped of her clothes, how long could it last?

In fact, Huang Zhong's situation is not good, Sun Jian is a fierce general after all, and Huang Zhong has lost the assistance of horses on the city, the gap between the two sides is infinitely closer, after the war, Huang Zhong also reluctantly returned to the barracks and fell, fortunately, since Dongfang Jue came to the barracks, he enjoyed most of the military power, if it were not for Dongfang Jue to be present, once Huang Zhong fell, the impact on the Tianci army would be extremely bad.

Both sides are insisting, it depends on who can get the final victory, but at present, the Tianci Army has the absolute upper hand, and the only central store on the coalition side is Sun Jian, if Sun Jian wakes up, then the Tianci Army will inevitably have to fight for a long time in the Sword Pavilion.

A battle of great scale can never be entrusted to one person.

When the news of Sun Jian's serious injury was rushed to Shouchun City by a special method of 800 miles, the representatives of all the forces sitting in Shouchun City were in an uproar. Sun Jian's head is a matter of great strength for everyone, and it is his strength in foot combat. But even so, he was still seriously injured by Huang Zhong, and in this case, one can imagine how bad the situation in the Sword Pavilion would be.

Although the representatives of all parties in the alliance have their own thoughts, the goal is the same, that is, to organize the footsteps of the Heavenly Army to the south, and for this goal, the princes of all parties can do anything. After the representatives of all parties discussed, it was approved by Cao Ying, the deputy leader of the alliance.

The alliance decided to replace Sun Jian to recuperate from his injuries, and use Sun Jian's son Sun Ce to replace Sun Jian in his place and garrison the Sword Pavilion. And with Liu Xuan's consent, several counties in central and eastern Shu were assigned to Sun Jian's rule as a thank you to Sun Jian for fighting to the death.

After all, if the alliance wants to be maintained, there must be a sufficient reward and punishment system, and now the situation in Shuzhong is not good, Liu Xuan's control is already very weak, and the loss of several counties in the east has a very low impact on Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan also has to rely on the Sun family to resist the Tianci army for him, in this case, what can Liu Xuan do?

It is worth mentioning that Sun Ce's reputation in the southwest of Dahan has become more and more famous recently. With the assistance of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's army of no more than 50,000 defeated the Nanban Hundred Caves to heavy losses, and the cave masters of all parties were almost scared to pee their pants when they saw Sun Ce, the demon king.

The rise of a hero is bound to step on countless blood.

Under Sun Ce's conquest, more than a dozen tribes in Nanban submitted to Sun Ce's rule, you know, these tribes don't know who Sun Jian is, they surrender to Sun Ce, not Jingnan. In this way, these more than ten tribes became Sun Ce's personal power.

With the help of the major tribes, Sun Ce's original less than 50,000 soldiers and horses suddenly expanded to 100,000, and in terms of combat power, it has increased unabated, at least in the southern Xinjiang, the combat power of the southern barbarian natives is very terrifying, in this case, the alliance naturally thought of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce did not refuse the appointment of the alliance. When Sun Ce learned that his father, Sun Jian, was seriously injured in the Sword Pavilion, he was immediately very anxious. Before the order of the alliance reached Jiaozhou, Sun Ce had already taken Zhou Yu and 40,000 Nanban natives and 30,000 Jingnan soldiers from the southeast of Yizhou directly to Jiange, that is, rampant on Gongsun Du's territory.

Gongsun Du didn't stop Sun Ce's behavior, after all, Gongsun Du didn't need to do thankless things, the situation in the Sword Pavilion, Gongsun Du was the first to get the news! Sun Ce's arrival, not long ago Gongsun Du also got the gift under his command, in the case of Gongsun Du's wide opening of the door, Sun Ce's 70,000 troops rushed to the Sword Pavilion unimpeded.

Huaxia 194, December.

Dian Wei, who had been calm for a long time, finally launched a general attack on Gongsun Zan in Wenshan County. For a long time, Dian Wei, who was stationed in Yinping County, was waiting for the opportunity, because of the geographical problems of Wenshan County, the cavalry troops could not march at all, and the soldiers were extremely difficult to pass, and the small troops could not cause any harm to Gongsun Zhan, so Dian Wei could only be silent for more than a year.

But not long ago, Gongsun Zhan of Wenshan County finally made a move, and half of the 50,000 Yunnan troops withdrew from Wenshan County. The reason is very simple, the news of Sun Jian's serious injury in the Sword Pavilion is about to reach the ears of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan knows very well that the Sword Pavilion is the main battlefield, and if the Sword Pavilion is lost, it will be useless for him to defend himself in Wenshan County.

After transferring more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, the defensive strength of Wenshan County suddenly weakened, and under Dian Wei's repeated temptations, a gap was finally opened in Wenshan County, which was like a turtle shell. Of course, it is difficult for Dian Wei and Wen Chou to occupy Wenshan County in a short period of time, after all, Wenshan County does not cover a large area, and there are nearly 30,000 troops of Gongsun Zan stationed there.

However, on the whole, the Tianci army has the advantage, and for the Yunnan army, the pressure on the Tianci army is increasing, and it is very likely that a large army will completely break out between the two sides. As for the present, the two sides are still in a tug-of-war to see who can't hold their breath first.

In 195 years in China, there were a total of 120,000 troops in Yizhou Tianci Army in January, and Wen Chou had defeated Wudu County earlier, so he transferred the 30,000 troops under his command back to Hanzhong to garrison, and he was also stationed in Hanzhong. After all, it is enough to have Dian Wei in charge of Yinping, Dian Wei's ability in all aspects is above Wen Chou, and a place as small as Yinping cannot accommodate 60,000 Tianci troops, in this case, why waste troops in Yinping? It's better to sit in Hanzhong. And when Huang Zhong, who was in charge of attacking the Sword Pavilion, got Sun Ce and Gongsun Zan to send troops to rescue the Sword Pavilion, he immediately transferred the 30,000 iron horsemen from Hanzhong to the south of the Sword Pavilion.

Although it is said that the Tianci Army is strong, it is still extremely unfavorable to the Tianci Army in terms of absolute numerical difference. You must know that at this time, the number of Heavenly Sent Army in the Sword Pavilion was only about 50,000 due to casualties, but there were a full 150,000 in the Sword Pavilion! Now we have to add the 25,000 Yunnan troops from Wenshan County and the 70,000 Sun Ce troops from Jiaozhou, which means that the number of soldiers and horses in the Sword Pavilion will be as high as 250,000!

Fifty thousand against two hundred and fifty thousand! It was obviously unwise behavior, if it weren't for the fact that the balance of victory was tilted on the side of the Tianci Army, Huang Zhong even considered temporarily retreating to Jiameng Pass, but Dongfang Jue told Huang Zhong that if he withdrew at this time, the advantage that he could not get would be gone, and it would also form a major blow to the morale of the Tianci Army, and the gains would outweigh the losses at that time.

Huang Zhong naturally understands the situation between the two sides at this moment, and Dongfang Jue has always been the exclusive staff of Liu Tai, Huang Zhong is actually very optimistic, after discussing with Dongfang Jue, Huang Zhong, who was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't get up, definitely continued to attack the Sword Pavilion!

It takes a lot of courage to make this decision! Even if the 30,000 iron cavalry in Hanzhong were transferred to the south, the Tianci army would only have a little more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, but the opponent would be a full 250,000. Under such circumstances, the pressure on the non-commissioned officers and officers at all levels can be imagined.

But there is no pressure, there is no motivation, under the encouragement of Dongfang Jue and Huang Zhong, the morale of the Tianci army is naturally getting higher and higher, after all, the myth of the invincibility of the Tianci army has always been terrifying, not only to make the opponents of the Tianci army fearful, but also to form a belief in victory in the hearts of the Tianci army itself.

Even if the enemy's soldiers and horses are nearly 250,000, they cannot shake the confidence of the heaven-sent army to win!
