Chapter 322: Cool Down
Yecheng.
The march to Liangzhou, ten years ago, had already begun.
The military report of the war in the early stage was sent back to Sikong Mansion without stopping.
Liu Qi will do it every day to browse, this time by the road to Guanzhong, the people dispatched, Wei Zhen is in charge, but Guo Jia assists.
The battle situation in the early stage was quite smooth, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who also steadily followed the plan and attacked the corresponding places.
And as the war progressed, the situation began to become difficult. Dong Zhuo's various departments, and in cooperation with each other, with the help of geographical advantages, in the imperial court, the line counterattacked, and stuck to the corresponding city.
This kind of behavior makes it difficult for most of the imperial court to continue to make progress.
The good news is that after stepping into mid-September, the effect of Jiang Gan's previous trip to the west has finally appeared.
Han Sui and Ma Teng responded to the Xiliang warlords, and said on the face that they would join the imperial court and be willing to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
But some of the people that happened ensued, contrary to everyone's expectations, Yu Han Sui, Ma Teng and others discussed and made a subordinate room, which was attached to Dong Zhuo's subordinates, ambushed the soldiers, and killed Ma Teng and others in chaos.
Only Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, broke through and escaped.
Immediately afterwards, he was summoned by Dong Zhuo, and the Qiang people rushed to join Dong Zhuo's men.
It is rumored that Dong Zhuo, who is terminally ill, suddenly came to such a hand, which surprised everyone.
And the next scene is also to break what many people know.
Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, led the crowd to openly surrender to the enemy, and several generals under Dong Zhuo's account were killed by the order...... During the period, all kinds of things happened in the month, that is, from Xiliang, to Guanzhong, and then to the world, people are not surprised by the change in Liangzhou!
What's even more impressive is Dong Zhuo's means!
Yecheng, inside the official building.
Liu Qizheng summoned everyone to discuss the matter.
After he informed him of the situation, such as Fa Zheng and others, they all showed surprise.
But soon, Fa Zheng got up and said, "Sikong, according to what I have seen, Dong Zhuozhi's aggravation of illness is definitely not a rumor, and it should be true, so I want to use the military power in my hands to eliminate some people and do the internal stability of Xiliang."
This person should be a hero!
Niu Fu and others, who had the intention to serve the lord before, came this time, but whether it was a fraud or not, it may be very low.
Judging from the past few years, Dong Zhuo and his people are more and more suspicious, so in the meantime, Cheng Ben is a betrayal of relatives.
This time it was just the last madness!"
After the Fa was corrected, other people also spoke one after another, and when Liu Qi looked at Xun Yu who came again, Xun You knew that Liu Qi wanted to inquire about the war situation, and he got up and said, "Dong Zhuo has done this, and the internal situation is nowatic, and the people are panicked.
Sikong can order the imperial court to continue to do appeasement, but the war to Xiliang also needs to continue, which can put pressure on Dong Zhuo from time to time.
In terms of military affairs, they can go to Ji County and concentrate elite forces.
This matter is filial piety in front of the front, and we can do our best to deal with it!"
After Liu Qi's head, others also gave suggestions.
But on the same day, there were specific disposal arrangements in the entire Sikong Mansion, and they went to the imperial court.
I have to say that Dong Zhuo's decisiveness did have a huge impact on Liu Qi.
Later, Ma Chao and others joined in, but it was also very difficult to attack.
In two months, only a few important places were won, which was too different from Liu Qi's prediction.
And in Longxi.
After entering the winter, the passage of Dong Zhuo's life is consciously speeding up.
After calling his staff Li Ru and several other sons to his side, and thinking of his son-in-law Niu Fu who was afraid of him and had a ghost in his heart, Dong Zhuo had too much to say, but he didn't know where to speak.
Looking at the young sons, as a father, he knew that it was difficult to suppress those generals with Li Ru alone.
In the past few months, he wanted to get rid of his internal worries, but the time was still too short, and many things were not achieved.
"Wen You, if I die, but in the military, you will continue to preside over it! But with the small size of my family, I also entrust it all to you.
Liu Xide is known for his benevolence and righteousness, if it is difficult to suppress it, you lead your troops to invest in it, and with your talent, it will be of great use......
At this moment, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to explain everything he could explain.
After holding his son's hand, he couldn't help but think of the eldest son who died many years ago and died early.
After talking a lot, when he felt a little sleepy, he asked his crying wife and concubine to leave with his heirs, leaving only the silent Li Ru alone.
And his gaze seemed to pass through the house, through the sky, back to decades ago.
"I remember back then, I galloped in Xiliang, at that time, I was really high-spirited, drinking wine in a big bowl, eating meat in large pieces, and some old people, and they are gone!"
"Summoned by the first emperor, between the marches and the army, I feel that my opportunity has come, when I can stabilize the world of the Han family and become the family of the heroes who have made peace and stability in the country, even after death, I can pass it on to future generations."
"But I found out that I was wrong, Wenyou, you should know it!
Those children of the family, heh, they didn't treat us Xiliang people as human beings at all, and they always looked down on us martial artists.
Isn't it a family?
If we hadn't been guarding Xiliang, would Guanzhong be peaceful? Can the sun be peaceful? Can the great man be at peace?"
"It's gone, it's all gone......
Dong Zhuo's voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes were still fixed on the wooden pillar next to him.
About a quarter of an hour passed, and Li Ru, who was already a little old, came to Dong Zhuo's bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"The general is gone! Xiliang is also finished!
It's the Xiliang Iron Ride, and it will probably become history in the future!"
That is, within half a month of Dong Zhuo's death, he found that there were signs of chaos in the army, and Li Ru quickly sent a secret letter prepared by Dong Zhuo before his death to Yecheng.
saw Dong Zhuo's letter, that is, expressed it in his words, how did Liu Qi not know that this was the back road left by Dong Zhuo's family?
But with Dong Zhuo's death, the warlords in Xiliang who are still resisting have no backbone. In addition to Li Ru's own dedication, Liu Qi chose to believe it this time.
In the cold winter of December, that is, in the place of Xiliang, the weather is dry, and there is no rain, Wei Zhen, Guo Jia, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other people, at the same time entered Hanyang, Longxi, Jincheng and other counties, and Li Rubu, Li Yingwai together, completed the pacification of most of Xiliang.
However, when Li Ru handed over the military affairs, Liu Qi recommended him to Beijing as a councillor to manage state affairs, but Li Ru refused and chose to go into hiding.
In the blink of an eye, in March, Liu Qi arrived in Ji County, Hanyang County, to inspect the place of Liangzhou.
After years of conquest, the people of Liangzhou have long passed in a large area.
As far as the eye can see, there is barrenness everywhere.
If you want to develop and stabilize people's livelihood, you should start from scratch!
