Chapter 318: The General Trend of the World, Rare Peace (Summary)
Time is like water, the banquet in Luoyang has not ended for more than a month, but the news has spread in Bodhina, not to mention the actions of the princes in secret, there are two things that the people know are extremely sensational!
First, Prime Minister Cao Cheng in the north became the Duke of Wei (I made a mistake in the previous article, Cao Cao was not the Marquis of Wei, but the Duke of Wei), and the Marquis of Chu in the south became the Duke of Chu, and he was crowned a hussar general. Among them, it is not only about the changes in the power of the princes in the world, but also about the future choices and vital interests of all the people, displaced people, and clans, and they cannot afford not to pay attention to it.
Second, it is naturally Liu Xie's incompetence, and I don't know how the secret of this banquet was passed out, I only know that day and night, the Han court and His Majesty, who were thought to have some hope, were directly passed on to the cowardly and fearful, incompetent and mediocre emperors, especially the people of Luoyang, who were the most frightened and frightened, for fear that one day their Majesty would not be able to keep Luoyang, and then there would be another Dong Da Demon King, and they would really have no way to live!
As a result, the homeless people gathered at the Luoyang banquet gradually began to go south to Jingzhou, or east to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, because they heard that the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Chu were the most powerful princes in the world and could keep them safe
……
Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of the world have risen together, and now for more than ten years, the states and counties of the Han Dynasty have gradually become distinct after all.
Cao Cao, who started first and had the oldest qualifications, although he was repeatedly attacked by strong enemies and accidents, but with the help of his capable military generals, he finally firmly controlled the two states of Yanyu in the Central Plains, the two states of Hebei and Hebei for the first time, most of the Qingzhou, and the merger states offered by Sima Yi and had not yet had time to send troops to take over. Therefore, in this Han world, Cao Cao, the Duke of Wei, almost exclusively won the land of the six states, for: [Sheng]!
On the contrary. In the south of the Han Dynasty, the Han clan relatives were the strongest, and Liu Xiu, the Duke of Chu, was the strongest; Liu Xiu was young, but his ability, unconsciously, only a few years to win the Han nearly four states. Although in the eyes of most people, among them is still the wilderness of Nanzhou and the barrenness of Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu's undefeated record, the rich Bashu, Jingzhou, Yuzhang and other places, have to let the world call him: [Strong]!
And in this world, in addition to Cao Wei and Liu Chu, the east is occupied by the third prince, Sun Wu. Only Yongliang is left and there are still three major forces, more than ten small forces are mixed, and the situation is unknown! …
The power of the princes gradually tends to stabilize, and all kinds of talents, humanities and martial arts naturally come out of the mountains one after another, choosing the main thing!
Those who have great ambitions and want to become the founding heroes of the country went to the cool land of Yongliang in the northwest; The discerning and intelligent people hesitate between Cao Wei and Liu Chu; And the loyal Han family. But they don't have much vision, or some speculators. It was actually the Luoyang Emperor Liu Xie, who had improved slightly
……
In the spring of March, the war that had to be stopped in the winter of last year is now ready to move again!
Among them, the most active in the war is naturally the place of Sili Yongliang! After Guan Yu captured Chang'an for Liu Bei, Liu Bei sent all the generals under his command to make Chang'an peaceful. Capture important passes along the way.
Among them, the four passages in Hanzhong through the customs ——— the first line of Sanguan and Chencang, the first line of Xiegu and Yi, the first line of Luogu and the first line of Meridian Valley. All of them were heavily garrisoned by Liu Bei; Zhao Yun, who was still in Hanzhong, was ordered to slowly shrink the defensive line, hinder the Chu army, and buy time for Liu Bei; Then, Liu Bei sent heavy troops, intending to seize the Qingni Pass and Wuguan from Guanzhong to Nanyang, but unfortunately Li Sheng blocked the road in Wuguan and held each other so far!
In addition, Liu Bei took the Tongguan Pass first, so that Liu Xie and Xu Shu could not directly attack the pass from Hangu Pass, which further ensured the stable situation on the southeast side of Chang'an! That is to say, as long as Liu Bei can preempt Liu Xiu, go west to capture Longxi, destroy Han Sui, and go north to subjugate the Ma family, he can bring all the fertile lands such as Qinchuan and Qinchuan, the former Qin State, into his palm!
…
After being blocked by Liu Bei, Xu Shu was not to be outdone, and changed his strategy in an instant, turning his soldiers and horses to the east of the river! Hedong is close to the Gyeonggi region, and when the Yellow Turban was in the Yellow Turban, there was no major war, and when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, there was no major war due to its geographical reasons, so today's Hedong is still a large county with a large population. A few years ago, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other forces fought for this place, Cao Cao was slightly better, but before it was stable, it was occupied by Liu Xie Luoyang, blocking the passage and no longer in his grasp.
Now, Xu Shu's primary purpose is to stabilize the surroundings of Luoyang for Liu Xie, and then expand the territory, since he lost Tongguan, he will not spend precious troops to attack Tongguan, but turn the road to stabilize the two important places in Hedong and Hanoi north of Luoyang!
…
Sili and Northwest are changing, while Hebei and Shanxi are much more stable! In the late winter of last year, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou were basically pacified with the help of Cao Cao's two sons and Zhang Liao, Cao Ren and others. At this time, after several months of consolidation, it has basically settled down.
Only the Qingxu border is still in a tense confrontation with the Sun clan in Jiangdong, and the heavy troops are stationed in Runan, Xuchang, Changshe and other places in Yuzhou, which seems to have the intention of attacking Luoyang and Nanyang!
…
In this regard, Liu Xiu was not to be outdone, he directly allocated 50,000 soldiers and horses to Yue Fei, so that he could expand the Yuejia army, and then stationed all of them in Nanyang Wancheng, in addition, he also asked Yang Ye and Wen Ping, respectively, to lead more than 10,000 troops to garrison Fancheng and Xinye; As for the remaining 20,000 Liu Xiu's personal guards in Xiangyang, and the rest of the 20,000 ordinary soldiers and horses reorganized from the original Jingbei, they were handed over to Li Sheng and Huang Zhong respectively, so that they could attack Wuguan and Shangyong!
However, this 100,000 soldiers in Nanyang is not all of Liu Xiu's actions, in order to make his new Bashu and Jingbei can be properly stabilized, he is still asking Xie Xuan, the governor of Jiangxia, to raise 50,000 troops to strictly guard this Cao Wei and Eastern Wu!
After that, he let Yu Jin take advantage of the captured Bashu soldiers, horses, grains and grass, and go north as soon as possible, wanting to capture Hanzhong, the gateway of Bashu, as soon as possible! Because only after this can he concentrate most of his forces on defense, and there is no need to be overly scattered in various places, so that people can take advantage of it
……
Longxi, Hansui Fuzhong.
Han Sui occupied the lands of Longxi for more than ten years, with the support of the Qiang and other foreign troops, gathered 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, soldiers and horses, and dozens of Qiang brave generals and cronies, which can be described as strong!
After the Luoyang banquet, Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying returned with Luoyang and Dong Zhao's words
"Father-in-law, what should we do now?!" Yan Xing stared at Han Sui tightly and asked bluntly, "Do you really want to take refuge in Cao Cao?!" ”
"I went to check, and Ma Teng and his son did go to Chang'an with Liu Bei... If they really join forces, our Longxi will be in danger?! ”
Yan Xing's continuous cannonballs made Han Sui's brows furrow more and more tight
"I'm afraid of him!" Cheng Gongying said angrily: "We have 100,000 iron horses, who can stop them?!" ”
"It's a big deal to follow Dong Zhuo's example, lead Xiliang Tie to ride eastward, and kill him without leaving a piece of armor! …”
"Shut up!" Han Sui was annoyed, and when he heard Cheng Gongying's nonsense, he immediately shouted angrily, "Liu Bei's subordinates are about Zhang Zhao's bravery, who is an unsuitable general and has been famous for decades, is it nonsense?!" ”
"Then my lord, what do you say we should do?!" Cheng Gongying choked and asked.
"Since they plan to unite, we can also find allies!" Han Sui's eyes lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed.
"Who is the lord looking for? Cao Cao?! ”
Han Sui shook his head and said, "In this way, Yan Xing, you send someone to find Cao Cao and see how he plans to help us!" ”
"Send someone to Xiangyang again, this Liu Xiu has just won Bashu, we may also borrow his power to use it!"
"By the way, you are running to Chang'an, try Liu Bei and Ma Teng for me, and see if they really intend to jointly send troops to Longxi!"
"Hmph... I want them to know that in this Longxi, my 100,000 iron horsemen are not so easy to swallow! (To be continued.) )
