At the end of May of the first year of the first peace, after the alliance of the princes of the Ten Roads retreated from the Tiger Pass, they entered the camp of Suozao.

Originally, the princes joined forces to fight for Dong, Kong Ling was angry and angry, Sun Jian was still in Yuzhou, Liu Dai, Tao Qian and other princes hurriedly ran back to the land, and now they are still in the sour jujube land, and only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes of the Ten Roads are left.

As for Yuan Shu, as early as when the coalition army retreated from the Tiger Pass, he hurriedly led the army to run.

When he came, there were 300,000 troops, and only 100,000 tired soldiers remained.

When the army arrived at the sour date, the scout Tanma came to the latest news of the Xiliang cavalry.

A few days ago, 4,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry entered Chenliu, and after some burning, killing and looting, they had already killed and went to Shanyang County.

After Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and got the news, he almost jumped up in shock. When Chen Liu's major scholars came to the army to ask for an explanation, Zhang Miao was really big, and he couldn't die of worry.

Damn the Xiliang thief soldiers, it's just thunder and thunder.

Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and cursed, but he had to appease these Chen Liushi clans.

Otherwise, if you don't follow the spirit of these scholars, I am afraid that I will be sad in the future.

In this era, the power of the Dishi clan was incomparable, which was incomparable to any dynasty. After the magistrate took office, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the local area, he had to obtain the support of the local nobles, otherwise he would only be unable to move an inch.

This is also the reason why Liu Dai, Tao Qian and other princes rushed to lead the army back to their rule.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the princes gathered in Yuan Shao's tent to discuss how to deal with this heavenly and earth-killing Xiliang cavalry.

Yuan Shaolang said: "The Son of Heaven is in trouble, and we, as courtiers, should seek to quell the rebellion and settle the society." This damn Xiliang army burned and looted everywhere, and it was not enough for the civilians to be angry if they were not exterminated. We have an army of 100,000, so we only need to wave our army to the north, gamble this Xiliang cavalry in the territory of Shanyang County, and lay a net of heaven and earth, and we will teach it to stick its wings and not escape. ”

All the princes nodded their heads in agreement, full of courage.

Cao Cao said: "The Xiliang army is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they are all lightly armed, without bringing food to wipe the baggage, although our army is numerous, there is no cavalry, I am afraid it is difficult to block it." Cao thought that our army should divide its troops to defend Guandu, Zhongmu, Changshe and other key roads, and then send an army to hold the dangerous points of Bowangpo, and divide the troops to advance to prevent Luo Zhengxiao'er from escaping into the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

Yuan Shao said: "This is a great goodness, according to Mengde's plan." ”

Beihai Taishou Kong Rong said: "We need to do our best to exterminate this Xiliang cavalry, otherwise if we let it plunder everywhere, the people of the Central Plains Shi clan will be plundered by it for many days, and I am afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged, so they must be prevented." ”

"What Master Kong said is very true."

All the princes nodded their heads again and again, all agreeing with this proposal.

At that moment, some details were discussed, and the princes acted separately and sent troops to guard the danger.

Tiger Prison Pass, Temporary Prime Minister's House.

Li Ru hurriedly rushed into Dong Zhuo's mansion and bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, there is news about General Hu Zhen's army. ”

Dong Zhuo said happily: "This must be good news, Wen You will talk about it quickly." ”

Li Ru said: "Our army scouts found out the news in the Chenliu area, a few days ago, General Hu Zhen led a large army into Chenliu, and after killing the Chenliu Shishi clan gate lord into a river of blood, he waved his army north and went to Shanyang County. ”

Dong Zhuo was puzzled: "The Kwantung rebels have already withdrawn, why didn't Hu Zhen lead the army back to Tiger Pass?" ”

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Although the Kwantung rebels retreated, they divided their troops to defend the key road to Gyeonggi Luoyang, and this must be to set up a net to exterminate General Hu Zhen's 8,000 iron cavalry. Confucianism thought that General Hu Zhen must have expected this, so he led his army north to kill Shanyang County, so as to avoid the encirclement and interception of the Kwantung rebels, and then find an opportunity to escape. ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly nodded and praised: "Hu Zhen is brave and strategic, and he is not in vain to entrust him with important tasks." This time, he was able to successfully force back the Kwantung rebels, and Luoyang was preserved, and Hu Zhen took the lead. When he returns to Luoyang, he will definitely be rewarded. ”

"The lord is wise."

Li Ru smiled indifferently and complimented casually.

Until now, Luoyang didn't know that Hu Zhen had died in battle, and the 8,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry had changed their main general.

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood, laughed for a long time, and discussed with Li Ru how to consolidate his position and hold the princes of the world hostage.

Yuzhou, the north gate of Qian County.

When Yuan Shu led the army to arrive, Sun Jian and a group of Yuzhou scholars had already been waiting at the north gate for a long time.

"I've seen Ming Gong."

Sun Jian stepped forward quickly and fell to the ground with a slam at Yuan Shu.

Behind him, the Yuzhou scholars also stepped forward one after another to salute Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu smiled and helped Sun Jian up, and said, "Wentai, hurry up and be exempt." ”

and came to greet the Yuzhou scholars one by one, trying their best to envelop them.

Sun Jian got up and led sideways: "Jian has prepared a feast, please enter the city." ”

"Good, good!"

Yuan Shu said hello three times in a row, and beckoned Sun Jian to get on the horse, and the two rode into the city together.

The rest of the generals followed, leading the army into the city.

Since Kong Ling got that Qian County was attacked by the Xiliang Army and died alive, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to annex Kong Ling's troops, and sent people to go to Qian County in the starry night, trying his best to entrap Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian could take advantage of the situation to occupy Qian County and control the situation.

The princes saw it in their eyes, but because of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition, they all turned a blind eye.

After Sun Jian received the urgent express report from Yuan Shudi, he was hesitating, and then received the news that the Xiliang army was going north, and immediately led the army to kill, and took the opportunity to occupy Qian County, control the city, and wait for Yuan Shu to arrive.

On the way to the official residence of the Assassin's Mansion, Yuan Shu said with a smile: "This time I was able to control Yuzhou, thanks to the work of Wentai. ”

Sun Jian politely bowed his hand and said: "I don't dare to take credit, it is thanks to the prestige of Ming Gong that I can control the situation." ”

This is not a lie, but the truth.

The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, with many old officials, are simply illustrious to the extreme.

Yuzhou is the hometown of the Yuan family, and officials of all sizes do not know how many are protégés of the Yuan family.

This time, he was able to control the situation, thanks to Yuan Shu sending his henchmen to lobby, and the Yuzhou Dishi clan gate lord did not vigorously oppose Sun Jian after the Xiliang army left. If it weren't for that, how could Sun Jian quickly control the situation.

Yuan Shu stroked the willow beard with his hand and said happily: "Break me, Wentai break me!" ”

When they arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, dozens of servants and maids had already come out.

Yuan Shu took the lead and sat down unceremoniously.

Sun Jian was at the top of the right seat, and the rest of the generals and the Yuzhou scholars also sat on both sides.

The banquet was staggered, and the atmosphere was not warm.

Yuan Shu was persuaded by his generals and a group of Yuzhou scholars to drink, and he was drunk.

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet dispersed.

Sun Jian sent away the Yuzhou scholars, and then went to a house in the north of the city with Cheng Pu.

When he was far away from the Assassin's Mansion, Cheng Pucai said in a low voice: "Lord, this Yuan Shu is not tolerant of people, rather than working hard under his command to be unpleasant, it is better to go back to Changsha and find a way to recruit troops and horses in order to make a comeback." ”

Sun Jian sighed and said, "This time I sent troops to fight against the national thief Dong Zhuo, and there is not much left of the 8,000 army, even if we return to Changsha, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Although there are still 7,000 foot soldiers, they are all soldiers from the north, how can they give up their families and go to Changsha with a certain person. ”

Cheng Pu was silent and speechless for a while.

Sun Jian had no foundation in the south, and he did not have a family background like Yuan Shu, so it was difficult to get the support of the Shi clan.

Without a loyal army in his hands, even if he returned to Changsha, those Shi clan lords would not sell Sun Jiandi.

Now it is not as good as before, since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and caused chaos in the dynasty, the prestige of the imperial court has plummeted, and the powerful people in various places have become more brazen in recruiting private soldiers and expanding their strength, all of which want to do something after the arrival of the troubled times.

If you don't have enough strength, how can you deter those local heroes who are about to move.

Sun Jian said in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to take refuge under Yuan Shu first, and Xu Tu will plan later." ”

Cheng Pu sighed and said, "That's the only way." ”

Xuzhou, in a manor in the northwest of Lanling.

The smoke curls and the aroma of the meat is overflowing, which tickles the stomach worms.

The three thousand Xiliang soldiers surrounded a few cauldrons, adding firewood under the cauldrons, swallowing saliva, staring at the half-cooked beef cooked in the pot, and from time to time making a few meat jokes, letting out bursts of lewd laughter.

Li Meng and Wang Fang were sitting not far away, discussing the matter.

"Tao Qian's army has arrived in Xiapi, it's time to leave."

Wang Fang chewed on the half-cooked beef, and said vaguely: "I don't know how the general is in Yanzhou, Tao Qian has already led the army back to Xuzhou, presumably the Kwantung princes have also withdrawn, I don't know if the general can rush to Yangping along the way." ”

Li Meng said: "The general is clever, he has long expected it, how can he let the Kwantung rebels block it." ”

Wang Fang thought about it, stuffed the last piece of meat into his mouth, and shouted not far away: "Take another piece." ”

"It's coming!"

Xiliang Bing agreed, and immediately fished out a piece of half-raw beef from the pot and sent it over.

At that moment, a scout rode in like a whirlwind.

"Newspaper—"

The scout Tanma rushed to the front, reined in the war horse and said loudly: "Two generals, Tao Qian Lao'er has done his best to raise the Xuzhou army, with the general Cao Bao as the vanguard, and come to Lanling, and at the latest tomorrow afternoon, you can go to Lanling." ”

"Well, got it, let's probe."

Li Meng waved his hand, and the scouts immediately turned their horses and galloped out.

Wang Fang got up and said, "Calculate the time, it's almost over." Now that Tao Qian'er has arrived, we will lead the army to Yangping tomorrow to meet the general. Do you want to break Tao Qian's old man's Xuzhou army and leave? ”

Li Meng was a little moved, and then said in a deep voice: "It's better not to do too much, so as not to delay the time and bear the guilt." In case he was entangled by Tao Qian's old man, the casualties were too heavy, and he couldn't explain to the general when he arrived in Yangping. ”

Wang Fang said: "That's it, then set off tomorrow." ”

At this time, a Xiliang soldier ran over and whispered a few words in Wang Fang's ear.

Wang Fang said angrily: "Damn, you kid is too long, isn't it?" Last time, more than 30 people were beheaded by the general, and you kid still dare to rob women. Hurry up and let people go, but don't implicate Lao Tzu. ”

Naxi Liangbing smiled dryly: "The general didn't see it, that girl is so beautiful, it's a pity to let it go!" ”

Wang Fang said angrily: "Fuck, there is a knife on the head of the dice, no matter how beautiful the girl is, her life is not important, I think you don't want this kid to take a woman's life." Go and let the people go, or Lao Tzu will chop up the two eggs below you first. ”

Li Meng's face also turned cold, and he looked at Naxi Liangbing unkindly.
