As Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops south, Guo Tai led the army to Baibo Army to follow, and when Lu Bu led his army into Wenxi City, the strategic action against the state was also officially launched.

The first group of messengers sent to Hanoi was to reply to Jia Xu and comprehensively adopt the best policy he had drawn up based on the annexation of the prefecture, and the second group was to inform him of his actions, and at the same time let Jia Xu choose the opportunity to order Zhang Liao to lead the army to take the party and Han Hao to lead the army to take Gaodu and garrison them on the spot.

At the same time, Cao Xing led 1,000 foot soldiers, stationed in Linfen, and Gao Shun led 3,000 foot soldiers, went north against the Fen River, and directly took Taiyuan.

They were followed by Xu Huang and Hao Meng, who led an army of 9,000, while Lu Bu only led 2,000 elite cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers to enter Anyi.

Just in Hedong, he repeatedly reorganized and surrendered soldiers, and the troops under Lu Bu's command had reached 16,000, just to prevent the mutiny, he scattered and mixed the original sharp soldiers of the Bingzhou army with the soldiers to minimize the possibility of mutiny, but the adverse consequence was a decline in combat effectiveness, which was also a matter of no choice.

Fortunately, in today's Hedong, and even in Taiyuan in the north, there will be no major battles, and there will be no hindrance to the temporary decline in combat effectiveness. And the strategy and the state, from a logical point of view, there is no obstacle, and the seal of the state pastor has always been in his hands, when he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has a tacit attitude towards this, originally only when the rebellion returned to Luoyang, he would officially worship him as the state pastor.

The messengers sent out were even more dialed one after another, and one of the key points was Luoyang's new Guangluxun Li Su.

He and Li Su are old acquaintances, and they took refuge in Dong Zhuo, that is, Li Su threaded the needle in the middle, and now Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Su is the first to show him haode, of course he understands that he understands very well, he does not want him to lead the army back to Luoyang, but also hopes to lead him as foreign aid.

In this letter, in addition to detailing his plan to lead the army back to Bingzhou, as well as the movements of the generals of Xiliang and Guo Tai of the Baibo army, he was entrusted with a few things.

One is, of course, the family members in Luoyang, before moving to Taiyuan, they must be able to ensure their safety; The second is to ensure Cai Yong's safety, although I have not heard of any news about Cai Yong during this time, but in Lu Bu's memory, after Dong Zhuo's death, Cai Yong was imprisoned and executed by Wang Yun.

In fact, before the news of Dong Zhuo's death came, he had already learned that many courtiers led by Cai Yong wrote to Liu Xie, the son of heaven at that time, asking to crown Dong Zhuo, who was then a captain, as a prince.

Now the newly enthroned Son of Heaven Liu Wei and Situ Wang Yun have not yet begun to liquidate these Dong Zhuo's "henchmen", but it does not mean that they will not be in the future, and the liquidation is definitely only a matter of time.

After arranging the external affairs, Lu Bu's eyes are now completely on Anyi and Hedong County, thinking all day long, what benefits should be grabbed and brought to Bingzhou.

To this end, he also deliberately spent a lot of thought to make a detailed list, and as soon as Jia Xu's reply arrived, he was ready to officially start implementation.

On the basis of Jia Xu's strategy, he added the content of controlling Linfen and Jiangyi and the northern part of Hedong County, which was equivalent to controlling nearly half of the rich area of Hedong County, not only establishing a foundation for the future use of troops in Hedong, but also getting great benefits in taxes.

Bingzhou is a good place, condescendingly entrenched in Jizhou, Heluo, Guanzhong, but the biggest advantage, in fact, is also the biggest disadvantage, that is, the territory is surrounded by high mountains, and there is not much land suitable for farming.

In the whole territory of Bingzhou, there are only four slightly larger valley basins, from south to north, which are Shangdang, Taiyuan, Guangwu and Pingcheng (PS: Changzhi Basin, Taiyuan Basin, Xinzhou Basin, Datong Basin respectively), of which Lu Bu can control now, only Shangdang and Taiyuan, Guangwu has belonged to Yanmen County, once Taiyuan is stabilized, it can also be controlled by soldiers, but the area of Pingcheng is now under the control of nomadic tribes such as Xianbei, and if you want to control it, you must use soldiers.

Therefore, it is possible to pick out the territory from Hedong County, even if it is just a city and a place, it is haode, not to mention almost half of the territory.

In addition to the territory, the first place on the list is always the grain and grass materials, Dong Zhuo has been operating Hedong for many years, Anyi has always been the top priority, Li Dao and Guo Yan went in a hurry, only a small part of the grain and grass materials in the treasury were taken away, and the rest were all accepted by Lu Buxiao. It's just that most of the money, cloth, etc., which are easy to carry, have been looted by them.

Then there are talents, what Lu Bu is most in short supply, in addition to the scribes, are craftsmen, doctors, etc., who have a skill, but how to make these people willingly follow him to the north and merge the state, but it is really a big problem.

And then the right is to loot the local rich gentry, Lu Bu has no interest in making too much trouble with these local snakes, and it is impossible to kill chickens and eggs, but while maintaining a good relationship, let them contribute some grain, grass and money, it can still be done, each family is not too much, but it is still quite considerable.

There are more than a dozen other miscellaneous items, which constitute the entire list of Lu Bu's looting of Hedong, and among them, there is one person who Lu Bu has been paying attention to.

That is Cai Yan, the little daughter-in-law of the Hedong Wei family.

According to the calculation of time, his father Cai Yong should be Dong Zhuo's expedition, and the time to Luoyang is not long, Cai Yan should still be in Hedong Wei's house at this time, as soon as she leaves for Luoyang, Lu Bu ponders what method to use to keep her by his side and bring her to Bingzhou.

It is a feasible way to learn from the Huns, which is simple and effective, but Lu Bu is still a little reluctant to do so; pretending to be entrusted by Cai Yong to deceive her, it seems that it is not bad; Keep an eye on it, if the Huns cooperate, take her away halfway, and take a hero to save the United States by yourself, it will be perfect, but there are too many uncontrollable factors during the period, and the risk is too great; Or, why don't you just direct and act yourself, and have a captive and a hero to save the United States, wouldn't it be both?!

For this matter, Lu Bu did not think less, and he wavered between several plans, but fortunately, the scouts under his subordinates were still very powerful, and found out that Cai Yan was still at Hedong Wei's house and did not move.

Just when Lü Butun was stationed in Anyi and organized and jihua to hollow out Hedong County in a premeditated manner, the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan had already crossed the river and was stationed at Fenglingdu.

For three whole days, the two of them have been undecided, not knowing whether to lead the army to the west or east, or even to learn from Niu Fu, disguise themselves and slip away with their cronies and guards.

To the west, one destination is Chang'an, Zhang Ji has led the army straight to Guanzhong, but whether he is ready to entrench in Guanzhong, or just passing by, the ultimate goal is to escape back to Xiliang, Li Ji and Guo Yan do not know; To the east, it is Luoyang, following the old path of his old boss Dong Zhuo, seeking to enter Luoyang and control the court by force.

These two paths, Li Dao and Guo Yan discussed many times, but they still couldn't make a decision, as for the third way of learning from Niu Fu, the two of them tacitly did not mention it.

Seeing that another day had passed, and on the other side of the river, the news that the Bai Bo army had set up a large camp had also come, but the two still failed to make up their minds, and sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at each other.

Li Dao is a typical Xiliang Han, and when he looks at his appearance and body type, he knows that he is not a pure Han person, but has both Han and Hu blood. Tall and sturdy, not strong, with sunken eyes and bulging cheekbones on the bridge of his nose and cheekbones, he has a very eagle vision when he stares at people.

Guo Yan gives people a gentler feeling, his face is always melancholy, his lips are pursed, he is a taciturn person, his figure is lower than that of Li Dao, and his appearance is also of Han and Hu blood, which is quite different from the Han people in the Central Plains. He did it there, as if he was contemplative, thoughtful, and in a daze, more like he was watching and watching in secret, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"Report! The White Polish Army has a messenger arriving. ”

There was a report from the soldiers outside the tent, Li Dao and Guo Yan looked at each other, and they both felt a little surprised, they didn't know what Bai Bojun Guo Tai wanted to do at this time.

In terms of the comparison of troops, they are comparable to the strength of the White Polish Army, but their combat effectiveness is more than a cut higher than that of the White Polish Army.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and a person stepped in, Li Dao and Guo Yan looked up, and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's you!" ”
