Chapter 184
At the same time, all the princes' forces did not notice that a person was secretly given the title of "Great Han Envoy" by the Luoyang Imperial Court, his name was Su Qin, and his deputy was Zhang Yi.
However, it was rare that the head of the imperial court did not laugh at these two people who compared themselves to their ancestors. and also gave them the Han holy decree they wanted, and let the two of them secretly visit Su Dingfang, Cao Cao, and even Liu Biao plus Sun Quan, Liu Xuan, Ma Teng and other princes respectively.
Su Qin and Zhang Yi carried the secret decree of the Luoyang Imperial Court, respectively, to crown Cao Cao as the general of Zhenxi, lead the history of Yuzhou Assassin, and Liu Biao as the general of Zhennan. And Sun Quan and Liu Miao are rarely crowned as generals of Zhengnan, leading Yangzhou and don't drive, which obviously means that if any of you wins, it is a serious general of Zhengnan and then lead Yangzhou Assassin History, and even sealing you is not a problem. also went to Su Dingfang to send a canonization decree, ordering him to lead the history of Youzhou Assassination, and annex the state to drive. Ma Teng led the general of Zhenxi and led the history of Liangzhou Thorn. Liu Zhang was named the general of the expedition to the west, and also led the history of the Yizhou assassination.
But these are just some nominal seals, and they are nothing more than chicken ribs for most of the princes. However, it was the peace talks order that Su Qin and Zhang Yi secretly brought that made them heartbroken. In the end, both Cao Cao and Su Dingfang decided to submit to the arrangements of the Luoyang court. Of course, this is also a relatively ideal situation that the Luoyang Imperial Court can envision. After all, although Jingzhou has an additional Jingzhou general, Yuan Gai Suwen, has been working hard, but Liu Biao has always been very weak, and it is never possible to take the initiative to provoke any princes, in the hope that Mingzhe will protect himself, but Liu Biao does not know that the more this is the case, the easier it is to be remembered by other princes.
Sun Quan and Liu Miao have been in a stalemate, and it is impossible for the Luoyang court to appease the contradictions between the two parties, so they can only let them divide the winners and losers. Therefore, the princes of these two roads must be unable to send troops. As for Ma Teng and Liu Zhang, the Luoyang Imperial Court did not plan to let them assist. Liu Zhang, like Liu Biao, is accustomed to being content with the status quo. As for Ma Teng, it would be good not to give you trouble behind your back.
The plan of the Luoyang Imperial Court was that the Luoyang Imperial Court sent troops, plus Cao Cao's Yuzhou soldiers and horses, plus Su Dingfang's Gongsun Army, which had been fighting against the northern nomads, to attack the territory of Xue Rengui, the hussar general, and then carve up the territory of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and part of Jizhou under Xue Rengui, the so-called hussar general.
Cao Cao took Xiahou Yuan as the vanguard, and commanded Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Cao Hong, as a general, and Guo Jia, a military advisor, who sent 120,000 troops, and Xuzhou as the commander of the army. Cao Cao's base camp had Cao Ren, who had always been good at guarding, led Li Dian, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen and others to garrison, and also left Cheng Yu to give advice.
Su Dingfang in the north personally led the Gongsun army of 120,000, accompanied by Jia Xu, and stationed troops in the north of Jizhou. The Luoyang Imperial Court was led by Han Baohu and Yang Lin as the commander, divided into two armies on the left and right, with 120,000 people and horses all the way, and the generals Xu Huang, Xiong Kuohai, Yang Feng, and Yang Lin's 12 righteous sons Taibao. The eldest Taibao Paul Fang, the second Taibao Xue Liang, the third Taibao Li Wan, the fourth Taibao Li Xiang, the fifth Taibao Gao Ming, the sixth Taibao Gao Liang, the seventh Taibao Su Cheng, the eighth Taibao Su Feng, the ninth Taibao Huang Kun, the tenth Taibao Cao Lin, the eleventh Taibao Ding Liang, and the twelfth Taibao Ma Zhan. The military advisor has Yang Su as the commander.
As for Luoyang, there are Yang Biao, He Ruobi, Yu Juluo, as well as Wu Jianzhang and Ding Yanping. Although there are only 60,000 horses left, but Luoyang City is the capital of the world, and it is a rare Xiongguan, so many fierce generals in Luoyang, that is, 300,000 troops are coming to the city, I am afraid that if you want to capture Luoyang City, it is also difficult to climb to the sky.
In this way, all the princes of the three roads came to Xue Rengui's territory. The rest of Sun Quan, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others were very optimistic about Xue Rengui, thinking that this so-called hussar general canonized by the first emperor of the Han Dynasty felt that nine times out of ten they were afraid that they would be defeated by the three-way coalition army. Although compared to Dong Zhuo at the beginning, Xue Rengui is much more popular, and the elite soldiers and fierce generals under Xue Rengui seem to be no worse than Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and even just one Xue Rengui has already defeated Lu Bu. The rest of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, Zhang Liao, Wei Chigong and others have already confirmed their strength, and the rest of Shan Xiongxin, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others are definitely not vegetarians.
But Xue Rengui's opponent this time was much stronger than the Nineteenth Route Alliance that Dong Zhuo faced at the beginning. The three armies all have fierce generals and strategists who can fight well, as well as commanders who sit in the Chinese army. What's more, this time, the three-way coalition army is much more united than the nineteen-way coalition army that had its own intentions. It's all big calculations, and they want to fight with Xue Rengui endlessly. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was too busy to take care of himself. The current Xue Rengui is a fierce tiger, and if the three of them join forces, they can't kill him at once. When he heals from his injuries, he can bite these three people to death one by one.
Moreover, Ma Teng, who was far away in Xiliang, was also very worried about Xue Rengui's situation, after all, the forces left behind by the Luoyang Imperial Court were not something that he could attack with just one Xiliang. But if you cross the huge supply line and go directly to Yanzhou to support, I am afraid that the transportation line will be cut off by the Luoyang Imperial Court, and if you can't succeed in joining Xue Rengui, I am afraid that you will have to leave as many corpses as you go, and maybe there will be no one to collect the corpses. However, Xue Rengui sent someone to send him a letter, saying that he didn't want him to worry, and there was no need to expose the news that the two people were allies right now, and he was 100% sure of stopping these people.
Therefore, this time, it was basically the Luoyang Imperial Court and Xue Rengui who completely tore their faces. However, this is indeed the best way that the Luoyang Imperial Court can come up with, if it is not against Xue Rengui. If you wait until the Luoyang Imperial Court and Su Dingfang, as well as Cao Cao and others are defeated, and Xue Rengui sits back and reaps the benefits, it will really outweigh the losses. Even if Xue Rengui and the princes of all walks of life still care about the face of the Han Dynasty, but if they wait for Xue Rengui to continue to grow his power during this period, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop Xue Rengui from replacing the Han family.
But if you want the other princes to unite and deal with Xue Rengui together, although it is very likely that they will all have this idea, they are afraid that no one will dare to be this bird, not to mention that the princes from all walks of life who have their own thoughts are afraid that it will not be Xue Rengui's opponent. This time, with the appearance of the imperial court in Luoyang, the princes naturally wanted to divide Xue Rengui's territory well. What's more, there are so many fierce generals under Xue Rengui's command, and there are many generals who are also talented commanders, plus a few strategists are also great talents, if you can get a few people, you are not afraid of not having a competent general.
