It's late at night, and a light is like a bean.

Luo Zheng's thick eyebrows frowned, and he paced around under the tent irritably.

Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, and Cheng Ying sat on the side, their eyes moving back and forth with Luo Zheng.

The rainy season in Huainan is in May and June, but in July, the land of Huainan is still raining heavily, from the middle of July to the end of August for a month and a half, Tiangong seems to be intent on opposing the cadres, a heavy rain in three days, a light rain in two days, the road is completely blocked, not to mention the weather to send troops to Huainan, even the army of food and grass can not come quickly.

What's worse is that the 30,000 cavalry and many soldiers are northerners and cannot adapt to this rainy season.

For more than a month, many soldiers were infected with the men's plague.

This disease is not fatal, as long as you get used to the man's climate, you will be cured without medicine.

But when it came to problems, the combat effectiveness of the army was fatally affected.

Luo Zheng's temper has been very big in the past few days, www.uuxs.cc and his henchmen also know what disease the lord is suffering from, and no one dares to come forward.

It is also Xu Chu, a wicked man, who never knows how to look at people's faces, and never leaves Luo Zheng's side.

"Lord, it's time to withdraw!"

Jia Xu endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't help it, and persuaded bitterly: "The use of troops needs to be based on the right time, location, and population in order to be able to win." Today is not beautiful, so that the army is wrapped in front of the foot, and it is beyond the power of man. ”

Fa Zheng and Cheng Ying also nodded busily, the time is no longer there, and it is really unnecessary to continue to spend it here.

Nothing can be done but waste money and food.

Luo Zheng frowned and remained silent, still pacing under the tent irritably.

Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others persuaded again, but they almost didn't have a clear mind.

After a while, Luo Zhengshi sighed and said, "That's it, just wait for you, and the class will return to Chang'an tomorrow!" ”

"The lord is wise!"

Jia Xu and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled.

At the end of August, due to the continuous heavy rain in Huainan, Luo Zheng's army in Huainan failed, and he had to return to Chang'an to rest. A great battle came to an end, and Cao Cao lost Xuzhou and retreated to Huainan to survive.

And Luo's plan to send troops to the Central Plains was only half realized.

only defeated Xuzhou, but failed to kill Cao Cao, a great troublemaker, and even failed to hit the river.

At this point, Cao Cao and Sun Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they were both seizing the time to rest and save money, food, and soldiers.

As early as July, Yuan Shang withdrew from Qinghe and returned to Yecheng.

In September, Luo Zheng took Gao Shun as the Dongjiang army to guard the Central Plains; With Zhang Liao as the general of Zhennan, he guarded Anfengjin; With Zhao Yun as the general of the expedition to the south, he guarded Nanyang, and ordered the reorganization of the army under his command, and the rest of the civil and military henchmen were also rewarded.

In addition to the two Tuntian camps in Nanyang and the Central Plains, Luo Zheng also ordered another Tuntian camp to be built after Huaishui, with 200,000 people, to cultivate in summer and train troops in autumn and winter to prepare for conscription.

The 100,000 Sichuan troops were all drawn out and incorporated into the new Tuntian battalion, which was Luo Zheng's preparation for the future southern expedition.

The Sichuan army was also a southerner, and was far more adapted to the southern climate than the northerners.

In addition to the 100,000 Sichuan army, the remaining 100,000 Tuntian soldiers in the Huainan battalion are all men living in the Huaishui area.

In addition to a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in various places, Luo Zheng expanded the Chang'an battalion, raising 100,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, as a mobile force, ready to fight in all directions at any time.

In December, Liu Bei wrote that Liu Qi joined forces with Sun and Cao to prepare to resist the strong neighbor Luo Zheng.

Cao Cao also connected with it and sent Yuan Shang, Gao Gan, Yuan Xi and others to the north, hoping to win over all the princes to deal with Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng and his henchmen were not vegetarians, and immediately sent Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Guo Tu and others who had surrendered to run around Hebei to divide and win over Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi, Gao Gan and others, intensifying the internal fighting in Hebei.

In order to alleviate the hostility of the Yuan brothers, Luo Zheng was even more admonished by Najia, continued to take Yuan Tan as the assassin of Qingzhou, and ordered Zhang Xiu to lead 8,000 troops to guard Gaotang in case the situation in Hebei changed, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were no longer hostile to Luo Zheng.

In 204, Luo Zheng ordered the general Yan Xing to lead 8,000 elite cavalry out of Saibei, and 30,000 Mobei cavalry to expedition to Liaodong.

In March, Yan Xing attacked Pinggang and broke the eastern Xianbei Yaka Division; In the following month, he marched to Raole River, defeated the 3,000 cavalry of the Xianbei Suli Department in the east, and marched into Liucheng in mid-May, broke the Wuhuan Department, beheaded the Wuhuan leader, and recruited the Wuhuan army.

In July, Yan marched to Xianbei Mountain, broke the 30,000 allied troops of Xianbei in the east, killed more than 3,000 nobles of Xianbei Wangsun and slaughter, captured millions of cattle and livestock, and hundreds of thousands of women and children.

In October, Yan Xing led his army to Chang'an.

In 205, Luo Zheng personally raised the army to expedition to the desert, attacked Ding Ling in the north, and fought until Beihai, robbing slaves, goods, cattle, sheep and livestock, and then marched westward, breaking through Jiankun, Jinwei, Hujie and other departments, and returned to Chang'an through the Hexi Corridor in early October.

From 202 to 205, after more than three years of mutual conquest, the land of Hebei was much depressed.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi brothers fought for more than three years, not only the people were miserable, but even the Hebei scholars also complained.

The treasury is empty, but there are more bandits and bandits, and the lives of the people are getting more and more difficult day by day.

Gao Gan was not spared, under the calculations of Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others, and under the instigation of Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, he was also involved in the internal struggle between Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's brothers, and had to join forces with Yuan Xi to attack Yuan Shang.

Even if Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others intended to mediate, they were beyond the reach of the whip.

In 206, the first month has just passed, and the year is still strong.

The Qianwang Mansion was lively, and Luo Zheng convened a group of confidants to have a banquet and talk about state affairs and life.

Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and many other celebrities who were tied to Chang'an, but had been idle at home, were also invited to attend, and the ministers next to Luo Guan scolded Chief Fang and talked about state affairs, or each had their own thoughts, or sneered.

When the wine arrived, Luo Zheng raised the bottle and said: "Since the first year of the first year of the fierce battle of the Tiger Prison Pass, the lonely army conquered the eastern part of the country, the cold and summer seasons, I don't want to hurry for 16 years, and now the loneliness is not confused, but the disputes in the world have not subsided, there are still bandits who claim to be kings, and they are crowned by the monkey without measuring their strength, but the time is fleeting, and the lonely heart is anxious, how can the princes be lonely and worry?" ”

As soon as Jia Xu made his eyes, Fa Zheng immediately stood up, and said loudly: "Don't read the lord, now the lord is under the rule of Kangtai, the money and grain are abundant, the soldiers are strong and the armor is strong, and the generals are single-minded, just sweeping Hebei, and then driving the millions of troops south to Jingyang, Dingding mountains and rivers!" ”

Xun Yu, Cheng Ying, Yan Xing, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zhong Xuan, Shi Tao and other civil and military henchmen who rushed back to Chang'an all nodded their heads one after another, and their eyes were all lit with blazing fire.

The world is unified, the mountains and rivers are fixed, and the founding of the country is feathered, who can not be excited.

Even Zhuge Liang, who has always been calm and calm, can't help but have a red tide rising on his face.

"Good!"

Luo Zheng slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Then discuss how to capture Hebei." ”R1152
