News of Zhang Ju's rebellion and proclamation as emperor. It finally reached the imperial court, but the source of the news was Liu Dai, who should have been dismissed.

Liu Dai claimed in the official document of the Shangju Imperial Court: "Yuyang Zhang Ju is a strong man under the rule of Gongsun Zhan, and he often corresponds with Zhan and is known as a brother. Today, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun colluded inside and outside, and suddenly rebelled and claimed the emperor, suspected of conspiring with Zhan. Zhang Ju did not take up the matter for less than ten months, and Yuyang, Guangyang, and Youbeiping all fell into the hands of thieves. Now the thieves are powerful, with more than 100,000 people, and they are spreading westward, and the government soldiers are difficult to resist.

Listening to Liu Dai's tone, it seemed that he didn't know the news that the imperial court planned to remove him from his post at all. And Gongsun Zhan, who was supposed to take over as the pastor of Youzhou, became a suspect in collusion with Zhang Ju at this time. Liu Dai's urgent letter suddenly made it difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and China who did not know the details.

Some people suggested that Zhu Jun or Lu Zhi should immediately be sent north to quell the rebellion, but Lu Zhi and others strongly opposed it. The reason for Lu Zhi's opposition was that it would take two months to transfer troops from Luoyang to Youzhou, and it would be too late for anything to happen when they arrived in Youzhou. Moreover, once Luoyang's troops are empty, it is inevitable that they will not be remembered by those who have a heart, and if they take the opportunity to attack Luoyang, everything will be over!

All the ministers understood who the so-called caring person in Lu Zhi's mouth was, so they consciously kept their mouths shut. Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Situ Wang Yun opened his mouth and said: "Why don't you send a letter to appease Liu Dai, order him to preside over the overall situation of Youzhou, and recruit soldiers to resist to the death." At the same time, he ordered Liu Rong, the king of Jin, to send troops to Youzhou to assist Liu Dai in suppressing the traitors. ”

As soon as Taifu Yuan Kui heard Wang Yun's suggestion, he hurriedly jumped out to block it, and said, "In this way, wouldn't you give up Youzhou to Zhao Xing?"

Wang Yun ignored Yuan Kui's objection and continued: "Even if the imperial court doesn't give an order, I think the Jin State will send troops, so why not push the boat down the river to relieve the danger of Youzhou." Compared with Zhao Xing's tyranny, Yuyang Zhang Ju's rebellion is even more harmful, if it is not severely punished, the world will follow suit, then where is the great Han Tianwei?"

After listening to the words of the ministers, the emperor was at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to turn his eyes to his uncle Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei then stood up and said: "Now that the imperial court has lost contact with Gongsun Zhan, and the team that sent the edict to the north has no news, it is really difficult to make a decision just by listening to Liu Dai's words. It is better to endure for a few days for the time being, inquire about the news from many parties, and make a decision after everything is clear. ”

As soon as Liu Wei heard the emperor's uncle's opinion, he opened his mouth and said: "Immediately send people to investigate the situation in Youzhou, and order Yuan Shao of Jizhou to deploy heavy troops at the junction of Youzhou and Youzhou in Jizhou to prevent the scourge of Zhang Ju's rebellion from going south." ”

A few days later, the emperor's envoy team to the north was besieged by black mountain bandits, and the news of the destruction of the whole team reached Luoyang. At the same time, the Jin State also sent an urgent report, claiming that the rebels had attacked to the west to Daijun, and Youzhou Mu Liu Dai had led the remnants of the army into the Jin State to avoid the disaster, and asked the imperial court to allow the Jin State to send troops to quell the disaster and relieve the people from hanging upside down.

At this time, the ministers of the court could no longer oppose anything, and the emperor had to reluctantly order the king of Jin to reorganize his troops and horses and assist the court to send troops to Youzhou to quell the rebellion.

Without waiting for the official document of the imperial court to arrive in Jinyang, Zhao Xing had already gone north to Yanmen, set up his line in Pingcheng, and prepared to command his troops to attack together with multiple armies and horses, and solve the forces of Zhang Ju, Gongsun Zhan, Bugendu, Qiu Liju and other forces in one fell swoop.

Several subordinate units of the Protector Army that participated in the Northern Battle had already arrived at the designated place: the Xiong Zhen Army led by Xu Shu and now garrisoned in Dai County; the Xiongwu Army led by Li Jinwu was now garrisoned in Gaoliucheng; the Dingyuan Army led by Zhao Yun was now garrisoned in Macheng; and the Flying Tiger Army led by Lu Bu and the Blue Wolf Army led by Tai Shici were still on the march. In this way, the Jin State dispatched a total of 100,000 troops for the Northern Battle.

In order to give Dong Zhuo courage, now Guan Yu led 20,000 vanguard troops to the Jinyang area, leaving only 10,000 people stationed in Shangjun Gaonu, and the dragoon army led by Zhang Liao made a feint to the Huguan area, intending to contain Yuan Shao in Jizhou. From this point of view, because of the lack of troops, the entire southern Jin State can only barely protect itself, and has no ability to threaten Dong Zhuo at all.

In the eyes of outsiders, the situation in the Jin Kingdom and the north of Youzhou is really complicated and chaotic, and it is difficult to sort out a clue. But in Zhao Xing's opinion, such a situation is suitable for him to strategize and break through several forces.

Zhao Xing ordered Li Jinwu, who arrived in Gaoliu City, to contact Liu Dai, and let all the 20,000 Xiongwu troops change into the clothes of the Youzhou Mansion soldiers, and then ordered Li Jinwu to lead the army to Jixian County, and he must capture Zhang Ju alive. As for Xu Shu, who had already arrived in Dai County, he had a more important task to complete.

Zhao Xing ordered Zhao Yun to lead 20,000 Dingyuan troops (Hu Che'er took 10,000) to bypass Danhan Mountain, and directly pounced on the hinterland of Xianbei in Liaoxi, burning and looting all the way, trying to make the momentum as great as possible, so that Bugendu on Danhan Mountain felt pain after hearing it.

It stands to reason that both the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army are cavalry, and their marching speed is obviously faster than that of the infantry, so why have they not yet arrived at the designated place?

The Flying Tiger Army received the order to first go all the way north, go deep into the northern desert for 500 miles, and then turn eastward, the target turned out to be the upper reaches of the wet water that Xianbei in Liaoxi must pass through to retreat northward, and their task was to intercept Bu Gendu, who was fleeing north.

The Blue Wolf Army was originally stationed in Lu County, which was in Shangdang, and after receiving Zhao Xing's order, it first headed north, and after arriving at Juyang in Yanmen County, it actually turned around and headed west, and had no intention of participating in the war in the north. In fact, his task was to succeed Lu Bu and quietly approach in the direction of Liangzhou, and once Dong Zhuo launched an attack on Ma Teng, he would quickly move south from Shangjun and go straight to Dong Zhuo's old nest.

The Crouching Tiger Army, which did not move, still mainly held on to Kei Pass and Huguan; the feint vanguard army was to alleviate Dong Zhuo's doubts, and at the same time to serve as a reserve force to ensure the safety of the southeast of the Jin Kingdom; the Blue Wolf Army, which was circling in a large circle, was a fatal blow to Dong Zhuo......

Zhao Xing's deployment is false and real, even many generals within the Protector Army are confused and can't see the way. In fact, in Zhao Xing's words, the Jin state had to use troops in two directions at the same time and guarantee a complete victory.

Judging from the military intelligence report sent by Xu Shu, in this northern battle, the Protector Army wanted to eliminate the 100,000 rebels under Zhang Ju, the nearly 10,000 soldiers of Gongsun Zan entrenched in Yuyang City, the 30,000 Liaoxi Xianbei stationed in the area of Danhan Mountain, and the 20,000 Wuhuan soldiers led by Qiu Liju.

What Zhao Xing paid the most attention to was the 30,000 Liaoxi Xianbei led by Bu Gendu, and Zhao Xing paid enough attention to this opponent who had never fought before. In this battle, it was not only about knocking Bugendu away from Danhan Mountain, Zhao Xing's goal was to completely and cleanly wipe out the 30,000 elite tribal soldiers of Xianbei in western Liaoning.

For Zhang Ju's 100,000 rebels, although there are many of them, the threat is not very large, and the 20,000 Xiongwu army dressed as Youzhou soldiers and the Xiong Zhen army led by Xu Shu are enough to wipe out the rebels in various places one by one.

As for Gongsun Zan and Qiu Liju, after Zhang Ju is cleaned up, I believe it won't last long......
