In the first year of Yongluo, July 21. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In order to appease the Tianci army, Liu Miao sent Taibao Wang Yun to Pingxian to sue for peace, hoping that Liu Tai Nengnian would postpone the march for the sake of the clan. If Liu Tai was willing to stop fighting, Liu Tai agreed to cede half of Sili and the central part of Yanzhou.
The first year of Tianxi, July 23rd.
Wang Yun staggered all the way into Pingxian County and read Liu Xuan's holy decree to Liu Tai and other officials in northern Xinjiang. For some reason, Liu Tai did not show his attitude on the spot, but asked Wang Yun to go down and rest. Wang Yun, who was originally trying to delay time, was naturally happy to do so.
In the first year of Tianxi, July 24.
After careful consideration, Liu Tai ordered all the troops of the Tianci Army to stop marching and asked Wang Yun to convey the news. If Liu Miao wants to ask for peace, it's no problem, but he must sacrifice the entire territory of Sili and the entire territory of Yanzhou.
In fact, why can't Liu Tai see that Liu Miao is delaying time? And Liu Tai has already received accurate news that Liu Miao is going to move the capital! The goal is Chengdu! Although Liu Tai is said to be powerful all over the world, he can't protect anyone, if he can't be sure of the safety of his father Liu Yan, Liu Tai doesn't dare to act rashly!
Liu Yan is kind to Liu Tai, great kindness! It can be said that Liu Tai has today's achievements, and Liu Yan's credit is second only to Emperor Ling! Liu Tai did not believe that Zhang Lu proposed to move the capital, and he had no preparations before. After all, the natural danger in Shuzhong is not a joke, if Liu Xuan moves the capital to Chengdu by then, but is trapped in Shuzhong, then Zhang Luding will become a scapegoat!
So Liu Tai thinks that it is very likely that Liu Yan has been detained by Zhang Lu! If Liu Yan wants to go to northern Xinjiang, Hanzhong is a must-pass place. And Hanzhong is Zhang Lu's lair, I think Zhang Lu must have arrested Liu Yan, so he will be so confident in the Chongde Palace.
In the first year of Tianxi, the twenty-fifth day of the seventh month.
After negotiation, Liu Miao pretended to agree to Liu Tai's conditions, but wanted to drag Liu Tai on the pretext that Xindu had not been selected for the time being. And Liu Tai is waiting for the news of the second group of dragons and tigers in Hanzhong, so naturally he will not be in a hurry. However, Liu Tai also proposed that outside Luoyang, the imperial court must hand it over immediately, otherwise there would be no need for peace talks.
The first year of Tianxi, July 28.
Liu Miao and the hundred officials left Luoyang under the protection of Liu Dai's 100,000-strong army. Before leaving, Liu Miao wanted to disrupt the sight of the Tianci Army and make trouble for the Tianci Army. In order to save the people from fire and water, the imperial court decided to open a warehouse and release grain after three days to save the people from fire and water, so as to save the people from fire and water!
Take off your pants and fart! Anyone who is not a fool can see the meaning of this decree. Liu Xuan's intentions are sinister, in order to allow the people to gather in Luoyang and disrupt the sight of the Tianci army, he actually issued such a holy decree, which is really speechless.
The first year of Tianxi, July 29.
Not long after Liu Miao's 100,000-strong army left, Liu Tai had already received the news. At this moment, although there are less than 100,000 Yanzhou troops in Luoyang City, there are still nearly 700,000 troops, which is not so easy to deal with. However, Liu Tai will not let Liu Miao leave so easily.
Immediately, Liu Tai issued an edict and ordered Zhang Fei, the general of the left, to lead 3,000 Jinyi guards to march at night to attack the Yanzhou army, so as to drag down the Yanzhou soldiers, and no matter how bad they were, they would scrape off the skin on Liu Xuan's body.
In the first year of Tianxi, on July 30, Liu Tai issued an edict ordering Huaxiong to command 80,000 Zhongzhou troops to attack Hongnong, and strive to occupy the entire territory of Hongnong before Lü Bu returned to the division. At present, Hongnong Xiliang garrison is pitiful, if it weren't for Hangu Pass, Liu Tai would have asked people to get it, but it is not too late at this moment, in Liu Tai's opinion, with Lu Bu's strategy, he would not have thought of Hongnong's important surname at all.
In fact, Lu Bu didn't think of it, but because of Zhang Jaw's sweep of the Sanfu region, Lu Bu didn't dare to act rashly, if he left the alliance, then Lu Bu would have to deal with the Tianci Army alone, and Lu Bu didn't have this confidence.
In the first year of Tianxi, at the beginning of August, Liu Xuan's 100,000 Yanzhou troops suffered heavy losses under the attack of Zhang Fei's 3,000 Jinyi guards, and most of the grain, grass and equipment were lost, and they were beaten by the Jinyi guards and fled in embarrassment. Fortunately, Luoyang is not much away from Nanyang, which is controlled by Yuan Shu, and if you use Nanyang as a point to enter the Sanfu area and go to Hanzhong, the distance can be much less.
Just after Liu Miao entered Nanyang, the second group, led by Yuan Shu, escorted Liu Xuan's army and set off in Luoyang. According to Liu Xuan's discussion with the princes, even if he retreats, he can't leave all at once, otherwise, he will be served by Liu Tai at that time, and the princes are not fools.
In the first year of Tianxi, on the fifth day of August, Yuan Shao, Cao Ying and other princes discussed, leaving 100,000 troops to intercept the Tianci army, and the rest of the troops retreated to their respective stations. Now that Liu Xuan, who entered Nanyang, is safe, it would be a bit silly for the princes to stay in Luoyang.
In the first year of Tianxi and the sixth day of August, Liu Tai, who had been waiting, finally got the good news from Hanzhong, Liu Yan and others who were imprisoned in Hanzhong had been rescued, but the second group of dragons and tigers was intercepted by the protector of the Wudoumi Sect in Hanzhong, and the loss was not small! Of course, as long as Liu Yan and the others can be rescued, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it.
In the first year of Tianxi and the eighth month of August, the princes had just evacuated Luoyang. Liu Taiding was slightly lowered, and ordered Zhao Yun, the general of the army, to lead 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang. Ordered Zhang Fei, the general of the left army, to lead 30,000 troops to attack the southwest of Luoyang. Ordered Xu Chu, the general of the right army, to lead 60,000 troops to attack the southeast of Luoyang. Ordered the general Huang Zhong to lead 30,000 troops to the Tiger Prison Pass. The general Guan Yu was ordered to lead 30,000 troops to attack the front line of Yangcheng and push the front line to the north of Nanyang and Yuzhou.
In the first year of Tianxi, August 9, the news of Zhongzhou's military victory was transmitted to Pingxian County, and the 80,000 army occupied the entire territory of Hongnong in only ten days, and Chang'an was accompanied by Hongnong's victory. Now in the Sanfu area, except for Chang'an City, which is defending to the death, all the other counties and counties have fallen into the hands of Zhang Jaw! It is equivalent to saying that the Zhang Jaw who occupied the Sanfu region has cut off Liu Xuan's way into Hanzhong!
In the first year of Tianxi, August 10, Liu Miao and Yuan Shu met Nanyang. Liu Miao took the opinion of the princes, since the road of Sanfu was not feasible, then he could only continue to go south, from Jingzhou into Yizhou, and after obtaining the consent of Sun Jian, the overlord of Jingnan, the army set off to the south overnight.
In the first year of Tianxi, August 12, Zhao Yun's 100,000 troops besieged Luoyang, at this time Luoyang City gathered more than 100,000 people because of a holy decree of Liu Xuan, in order to avoid hurting innocent people, Zhao Yun could only order to suspend the siege of the city, mainly to persuade surrender.
However, the coalition troops who can stay in the city are the confidants of the princes, and in order to stabilize the coalition army, the princes asked the coalition soldiers to die to fight to the end on the grounds of the coalition army's family. In this way, even if the coalition soldiers have the heart to surrender, they can only fight to the death for the sake of their families.
The first year of Tianxi, August 13th.
Zhao Yun, who learned about the actual situation in the city, understood that the war was inevitable. Immediately, Zhao Yun ordered the siege of the city. Most of the 100,000 Tianci troops are foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers in the northern Xinjiang are good at attacking the city, although Luoyang City is tall, but under the attack of the foot soldiers for a day and a night, it suddenly looks crumbling.
The garrison in the city was not sufficient, and when the princes retreated, they took everything they could take, and even if they wanted to defend it with rolling logs, they could not find enough wood. The general of the coalition army wanted to hit the palace with his idea, but he thought of Liu Tai's importance to the palace, and when the palace was destroyed and Liu Tai was angered, then the fate of the coalition army would be really tragic.
In the first year of Tianxi, August 15, the good news of Chang'an reached Pingxian again, and the western capital of Chang'an had been broken by Zhang Jaw, who asked Liu Tai about the whereabouts of the Xiliang army next. In the compromise, Zhang Jaw suggested taking advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the Hanzhong region, enter Yizhou, and completely shatter Liu Xuan's dream.
Liu Tai refused Zhang Jaw's request, but in fact, Liu Tai was not eager to destroy Liu Xuan's small court at the moment. If Liu Miao is finished, then Liu Tai must ascend the throne and become the emperor! At present, the Central Plains has not been recovered, and most of the prefectures and counties are still in the hands of the princes, so it is obviously inappropriate to call the emperor at this time.
After discussing with Guo Jia and others, Liu Tai issued an edict ordering Zhang Jaw to reorganize the army in situ, strengthen the various checkpoints in the Sanfu area, and cut off the connection between Hanzhong and Sanfu. If he could, Liu Tai hoped that Zhang Jaw could bypass Hanzhong and send a small force into Yizhou to take Liu Yu and others to the north!
Liu Tai is ready to give up Yizhou!
In fact, giving up Yizhou is not a good strategy, Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you give up now, then it will be difficult to get it back in the future. However, Yizhou at this time was different from Yizhou in history, after the ravages of the Yellow Turban Army, Yizhou's population was lost on a large scale, which led to the situation that Yizhou was vast and sparsely populated. What if Liu Miao can capture Yizhou? also has to face Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan in southern Yizhou, and Zhang Lu, who has wolf ambitions in northern Yizhou, just fighting in the nest can make Liu Xuan tired enough.
The first year of Tianxi, August 18.
The city of Luoyang was broken, and Liu Tai occupied the eastern capital of Luoyang. The southwest of Luoyang was successfully recovered. The southeast of Luoyang was successfully recovered. The southern part of Luoyang was completely recovered. At present, except for a few counties in the east of Luoyang, the entire division has almost fallen into the hands of Liu Tai, in order to further expand the results of the battle, Liu Tai ordered Guan Yu to take advantage of the situation to go south, if possible, then break through the Nanyang defense line, and give Yuan Shu a heavy blow to his psychology!
In the first year of Tianxi, August 19th.
Shocking news suddenly came from Yanzhou. Lu Bu, who was praised as a tiger wolf by Liu Tai, actually took the opportunity to occupy the Chen County area, killed Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Chen County, and sent troops to Jiyin County, which belonged to Liu Dai. Jiyin is the hinterland of Yanzhou, if it is occupied by Lu Bu, then Lu Bu will become one of the great princes of the Central Plains, and the pattern of the Central Plains will be disrupted at that time.
Of course, Liu Tai didn't care about how far Lu Bu's territory could be expanded, because Liu Tai understood that Lu Bu was not suitable for being a monarch at all, no matter how huge Lu Bu's power was now, sooner or later it would be someone else's wedding dress.
The first year of Tianxi, August 25th.
Just when everyone thought that most of Yanzhou would fall into the hands of Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, who had just led the troops into Taishan County, suddenly fired a horse pistol, and the 100,000 Qingzhou army strongly occupied the Rencheng, Luguo, and Shanyang regions, using Jiyin as a radiation, threatening Bao Xin in Jibei. There are not many small princes left in Yanzhou, and if Bao Xin loses Jibei again, then the division of power in Yanzhou will be clear.
In the first year of Tianxi, August 30th.
Lü Bu led 60,000 troops to occupy Dongjun and Jiyin County under Liu Dai, and Bao Xin considered the family and dedicated the Jibei Kingdom to Lü Bu. After Lü Bu successfully mastered the Jibei Kingdom, the Yanzhou region suddenly became the territory of Yuan Shao and Lü Bu.
Seeing that the battle in Yanzhou continued, Cao Ying and others around him were itching, but Cao Ying's target was not the Yanzhou region. Yanzhou is the first stop of the Tianci Army's march into the Central Plains, no matter who occupies Yanzhou, there will be no good end, how can Cao Ying be so stupid?
In the first year of Tianxi, at the beginning of September, Cao Ying launched an army of 100,000 troops to the south, targeting the surrounding areas of Xiangyang and Jiangxia on both sides of the Yangtze River. Who is Cao Ying? That's the great prince who is second only to Liu Tai today! That is, Liu Biao, who has a city, dares to resist Cao Ying?
However, Liu Biao is also a smart person, and he is unwilling to give up Xiangyang City in this way, which causes Liu Biao to play Liu Xuan, hoping that Liu Mian can come forward to be a peacemaker. But now that Liu Miao is eager to enter Yizhou, how can he have the heart to talk to Liu Biao? However, Liu Miao could not ignore Liu Biao, after all, Liu Biao was a relative of the Han family, and one of the few princes who supported Liu Biao.
In the first year of Tianxi, on the fifth day of the ninth month, Liu Xuan's holy decree was sent to Cao Ying, and there was no compulsory surname language on the holy decree, and the meaning was very vague, hoping that Cao Ying could let go of the Xiangyang area. In order to make up for Cao Ying, Liu Miao allowed Cao Ying to attack Wang Kuang, the Marquis of Pingchun in Jiangxia, and gave Cao Ying a reasonable excuse.
Cao Ying agreed, after all, Liu Miao is the Son of Heaven, and at present, the army of more than 100,000 troops of Liu Xiang and Liu Dai and other princes has entered the Ba County area of Yizhou, and it is possible to enter the entire Yizhou at any time.
In the first year of Tianxi, on the tenth day of the ninth month, Wang Kuang, who still wanted to play the imperial court like Liu Biao and hoped that Liu Miao would come forward to reconcile, suddenly encountered Cao Ying's 100,000 troops coming to the city. The panicked Wang Kuang sent an envoy to sue for peace, but Cao Ying ignored him and urged Wang Kuang to either go out of the city for a decisive battle or surrender the city, there was no other choice!
His own family knows his own affairs, how much combat power Wang Kuang's army has, how could Wang Kuang himself not know? Under Cao Ying's coercion, Wang Kuang had no choice but to surrender the city, but Wang Kuang's precondition was to ask Cao Ying to spare Wang Kuang's people and bypass Wang Kuang's own surname, and Cao Ying agreed.
The first year of Tianxi, September 15.
Wars between the princes broke out frequently, and big news came out in Yizhou. The original Chengdu ordered Liu Yu to take over the position of Yizhou pastor, and commanded 100,000 troops to defend the dangerous passes around Chengdu. And Liu Xuan, who is the Son of Heaven, was very angry after getting the news. If it's someone else who is the enemy of Liu Xuan, it's okay to say. But Liu Yu is Liu Yu's uncle!
Liu Yu has a very high rank in the Han family, and can be said to be a pivotal figure in the clan, if it were not for the appearance of Liu Tai, it would not be an exaggeration to take the identity of Liu Yu and even succeed to the throne. It is also true that in history, Liu Yu was not only one of the great princes, but also almost pushed to the throne of God by Yuan Shao and others!
Liu Yu's ability can enter the top three positions even if it is not ranked first among the Han clan relatives. But it's a pity that Liu Yu is not specialized in the art of war, and if he wants to stop the invasion of Liu Yu and others at the moment, he must have a capable general to come forward!
Just when the news of defeat in all aspects reached Liu Yu's hands, which made Liu Yu entangled, the battle situation finally took a turn for the better. Why? Because there is actually a wise and brave general in the Yizhou army! This famous general is named Zhang Ren, who is not only strong in martial arts, but also very accomplished in the art of war. Under the command of Zhang Ren, Liu Xuan's footsteps of more than 100,000 troops were actually blocked, and it was difficult to advance an inch!
Relying on the danger and ruggedness of the official road in Yizhou, Zhang Ren let the soldiers ambush in batches on various key roads, as long as Liu Xuan's army appeared, it could always cause heavy losses. Zhang Ren's strategy was very suitable for Yizhou terrain operations, but Liu Miao and others did not have accurate information, which led to repeated errors in command. If this goes on for a long time, the situation of the Yanzhou soldiers will not be good.
The first year of the Jubilee, September 20.
Liu Tai, who occupied the Chang'an and Luoyang regions, issued an edict to release all prisoners in the Sili area. Why did Liu Tai issue such an edict? In fact, it was because Liu Tai found that most of the prisoners in the prison were unjustly imprisoned, and these people either offended the gate lord clan or offended the imperial court, and many of them were even students of Luoyang Taixue back then! After the princes and officials all left, these people were completely forgotten, if someone hadn't mentioned the story of Luoyang's unjust prison in Liu Tai's ear, Liu Tai really wouldn't have paid attention to the prison issue.
At the same time as the pardon order was issued, Liu Tai asked the officials of the major states and counties to thoroughly investigate whether there was any wrongful imprisonment again, and in order to report the situation, Baixin had a place to avenge his grievances. Liu Tai issued an edict to Xun Yu, asking Xun Yu to immediately build a Qingtian Tower in Huacheng, and all the people who were dissatisfied with the government's trial could go to Qingtian Tower to redress their grievances, and the personnel arrangements for the review of the unjust prison were naturally handed over to Xun Yu to arrange.
The first year of the Tianxi, September 25.
The battle situation in Yizhou, which affects the hearts of the people all over the world, has changed again. Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du joined forces to deal with Liu Yu for some reason, and the two also publicly expressed their support for Liu Yu's small court. Under the attack from three sides, the Yizhou soldiers were defeated and retreated, and Zhang Ren had no choice but to lead the troops back to Chengdu. At this moment, Liu Tai's meaning also spread to Yizhou, hoping that Liu Yu could give up the entire Yizhou and return to Northern Xinjiang.
After careful consideration, Liu Yu adopted Liu Tai's opinion. The reason why Liu Yu wants to take over the position of Yizhou pastor is not for any rights. Liu Yusheng's surname is elegant, he is peaceful, and his least favorite thing is military affairs, and the reason why he wants to keep Yizhou is completely for Liu Tai. Now that Liu Taidu has decided to give up Yizhou, what else can Liu Yu say?
However, the problem with the evacuation is that Liu Yu is in trouble. Although it is said that under the attack from three sides, the 100,000 Yizhou soldiers lost a lot, but there were still 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses. How easy is it for so many soldiers and horses to evacuate Yizhou and go to northern Xinjiang? And if the soldiers are allowed to unload their armor and return to the field, I am afraid that Liu Miao and others will not agree, and then they will only harm the soldiers.
The troubled Liu Yu couldn't get Liu Tai's help all of a sudden, so he had no choice but to find a way by himself. Later, under Zhang Ren's reminder, Liu Yu came up with a way! What way can 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses escape from the cage?
Storm Hanzhong!
That's right, it's to storm Hanzhong! Now that there are many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, they have gone south to join Zhanglu, and there are few soldiers and horses in the county! If Liu Yu leads the army north at this time, resists Liu Miao and other coalition forces with the Sword Pavilion, and then sends troops to attack the mountain defense line of the Dingjun army in Hanzhong, it will definitely be able to open a shortcoming, and then Liu Yu and others will naturally send someone to respond as long as they get out of Yangping Pass, so everything will be fine!
