Li Xun knew that Li Ru was capable, so he obeyed immediately, and while resting the army, he sent people to Liangzhou to negotiate peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui. And Ma Teng and Han Sui learned that the righteous master had collapsed, and they had also expanded a lot of territory, so they agreed to Li Xuan's peace.

So far, the Han dynasty has experienced many ups and downs, the prestige of the imperial power has been lost, and the princes of the world have supported their own troops and revealed their ambitions.

And after Wen Han led the Hedong Army back to Hedong Anyi, he learned from Xi Long that in the year he left Hedong, so many changes had happened in Hedong.

Two months after he joined the Alliance of Righteous Teachers, the wealthy clans of Hedong colluded with Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo thieves, to capture the three counties of Changling, Pingyin, and Dangyin. Fortunately, Wen Han left more than 10,000 soldiers to guard Hedong, and after Xi Long learned about it, he and Gao Shun immediately ordered 8,000 elite soldiers to recruit the white wave thieves. At the same time, Xilong found Wei Zhongdao and borrowed thousands of private soldiers from him to increase the strength of various counties in Hedong.

After that, Xi Long and Gao Shun first in Changling and by the white wave thief Yang Feng led by the 20,000 white wave thieves began to fight, the white wave thief is powerful, Xi Long did not choose to collide with it, after a few defeats, lure the enemy deep, Yang Feng in ten days and take Hedong Xiangling, Xinzheng two counties, is carried away, just when preparing to go to the next city, in a mountain ambush by Xi Long, Yang Feng was killed, defeated, lead the remnants back to Xinzheng. How do you know that Xinzheng has already been captured by Gao Shun's army, Yang Feng just returned to Xinzheng, Gao Shun ordered the sergeant to close the city gate to close the door and beat the dog, killing the white wave thieves led by Yang Feng without the power to fight back. Yang Feng fought bloodily under the desperate struggle of thousands of henchmen, and was able to successfully break through, Yang Feng was defeated and retreated, and the remaining white wave thieves surrendered.

After Gao Shun and Xilong collected 6,000 white wave thieves, they led the army to attack and attack all the way, and recaptured the lost territories such as Xiangling, Xinzheng, and Changling. Yang Feng fled to Pingyin after being defeated, and Han Xiao, another general of the white wave thief, joined forces, Xi Long and Gao Shun led the Hedong army to chase to Pingyin, Xi Long saw that the thieves in Pingyin County were mighty, densely packed with human heads, and all the white wave thieves were everywhere at a glance, and they did not dare to move lightly, so they temporarily settled down.

When Han Yu heard Yang Feng say that he had lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses in Xilong's hands, he was immediately furious and wanted to lead the army to fight Xilong to the death. Yang Fenggang had deeply tasted the power of Xilong, and knew that this person was extremely intelligent and full of tricks, so he hurriedly reminded Han Yu not to act rashly. Han Yu agreed in his mouth, but he didn't pay attention to it in his heart.

He was in Hedong, but he was afraid of Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang, the three righteous brothers, and at that time, all three of them left Hedong, and Han Xi expected that there was no one in Hedong. At night, he ordered 10,000 white wave thieves to attack the camp, just as Han Yu led the army to rush to the camp in Hedong, but found that the surroundings were empty and deserted, and he was shocked at the moment.

Han Yu knew the plan, and as soon as he wanted to retreat, he was killed by the soldiers and horses who were ambushed on the left and right by Xi Long and Gao Shunzao. The 10,000 white wave thieves led by Han Yu were suddenly in chaos, and they were killed so much that they lost their armor and ran away, only to flee for their lives.

And Yang Feng, who was in Pingyin City, was awakened by the screams of the battle outside, and hurriedly called the sergeant to ask him carefully, and learned that Han Yu had led the army to sneak attack, he was shocked, thinking that Han Yu was ambushed by Xilong, and immediately led thousands of soldiers and horses to save Han Yu in a panic.

Yang Feng led the army straight forward, but he knew that Xi Long had expected it, so Pei Yuanshao ambushed the roadside. Pei Yuanshao saw Yang Feng leading the troops rushing forward, and they all lay down and did not move, until they came closer, Pei Yuanshao roared, and the two thousand crossbowmen fired together, and the arrows flew down like a torrential rain, and instantly shot Yang Feng's soldiers and horses to the ground, and a large piece of them fell down.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue, and ordered two thousand crossbowmen to send out several rounds of arrows, the arrows almost covered a piece of the world, Yang Fengjun suffered countless casualties, Yang Feng was hit by several arrows, and was rescued by several henchmen.

On the other side, Xi Long and Gao Shun led the army to cover up and kill Han Yu's rebellious army, killing all the way to dawn, Han Xiao saw that the defeat was decided, and led a team to fight out of the encirclement and fled back to Pingyin.

At this point, most of the Baibo thief army that invaded Hedong had been lost, and Han Yu and Yang Feng did not dare to fight again, so they abandoned Pingyin and fled to Dangyin, joining forces with Guo Da. Guo Da heard that Yang Feng and Han Yu were repelled by Xi Long and Gao Shun, not only lost the city, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so angry that he wanted to take a knife to kill two people on the spot. Fortunately, another white wave thief pleaded for Li Le and Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo for the two, and Guo Dacai angrily bypassed the two.

At that time, the army of righteous divisions had already captured Linjin. Seeing that the army of the righteous division was about to attack Chang'an, Yu Fuluo suggested that Guo Da withdraw his troops for the time being, otherwise when Wenhan led the army back to Hedong, he would definitely be killed by the Hedong army. As soon as Guo Da heard Wen Han's name, he changed color on the spot, and Wen Han was like a nightmare for him. At the beginning, he gathered nearly 100,000 people in Baibo Valley, but he was still defeated by Wen Han.

Guo Da immediately decided to withdraw his troops and go back to Bingzhou, he planned to capture Bingzhou as soon as possible before Wen Han returned to Hedong, and then use absolute strength to forcibly take the land in Hedong.

Guo Da wanted to evacuate Hedong, and the wealthy families in Hedong who rebelled against him were frightened when they learned about it, and begged Guo Da bitterly to change his mind. But Guo Da, who was born as a yellow turban thief, had no good impression of these wealthy people at all, not only ignored them, but also killed several wealthy patriarchs in the Dangyin area who came to him, killed them and his clansmen, and then forcibly seized their property before leading the army to leave Dangyin.

And when the patriarchs of other wealthy families in Hedong learned that Guo Da killed the wealthy families in the Dangyin area, it can be said that they were full of remorse. But at this point, they can no longer turn back, and the urgent task now is how to try to save his life. They hurriedly prepared a lot of money and came to find Xilong one after another, begging Xilong to spare their lives. And Xi Long only sneered at them, took these wealthy people into custody, took them back to Anyi, and waited for Wen Han to come back before convicting.

"Hmph, this group of wealthy people really think that I am afraid of them because I have repeatedly tolerated them. They have repeatedly plotted against me, and this time they even helped the white wave thieves to seize Hedong. If it weren't for Zhicai and Boyi, I am afraid that Hedong would have fallen into the hands of the white wave thieves.

Zhicai, what do you think I should do with them? ”

As soon as Wen Han returned to Hedong, he heard that Hedong was almost taken away, so how could he not be angry. He sat on the main seat of the hall, his eyes glowing with a cold light and murderous intent.

And Xi Long suggested very blandly.

"My lord, these people are from a wealthy family after all. If you kill them, I am afraid that in the future, the lord will be resisted by wealthy people from all over the world. In my opinion, it is better to spare their lives, but they have to go to their minions, for the wealthy people, their biggest weapons are nothing more than money, land, and private soldiers. ”

"The lord can publish their crimes to the world, and then confiscate their property and private soldiers, so that even if the wealthy people from all over the world have some words to the lord's guild, but after all, these people have repeatedly murdered the lord, and the crime deserves death, and the lord spares their lives, which is a great grace. In this regard, the resistance of wealthy people from all over the world to the lord will not be too strong. I don't know if the lord thinks it's so appropriate? ”

"I think you've already made this decision. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been left untouched. ”

"As a strategist, of course, you must seek the greatest benefit for the Lord and the public."

"So, if I don't follow you, I'll be stubborn."

Wen Han raised his eyebrows with interest, and then pretended to be dark and dissatisfied. Xilong is still that bland, but this blandness will give people a kind of indulgence

g uninhibited feeling.

"Zhicai believes in the lord and will understand Zhicai's painstaking efforts."

"You are becoming more and more presumptuous."

"How dare Zhicai, but the lord has always advocated that the monarch and the minister are a family, and there is no need for too much etiquette. Zhicai dared to be presumptuous.

"Hehe, you were the first to be defeated. Good. Deal with them according to your advice. ”

Wen Han smiled, for some reason, when he gets along with Xilong, he will always be easy to relax. Xi Long arched his hand, showed a satisfied smile, and was about to leave to make arrangements, but was stopped by Wen Han.

"Slow, this matter is not in a hurry, Zhicai can deal with it slowly. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the general trend of the world will change greatly, and in this unpredictable and turbulent world, where will I go in Hedong is the most urgent thing at the moment. ”

Xi Long's face sank, put away the uninhibitedness, and then saw that Wen Han's face was not good, and said a little solemnly.

"Lord, you have experienced many battles this year, and you were injured by Lu Bu in Chang'an, and you need to recuperate physically and mentally. Are you sure to talk about such a big thing at this time? ”

There was a deep look of concern in Xi Long's eyes, but Wen Han's right shoulder was still in sharp pain. When he was in Chang'an, after repelling Li Xuan and other Dong Zhuo's remnants, Wen Han was nervous about Guan Yu's injuries because he was worried, and only asked the imperial doctor in Weiyang Palace to do some simple treatment for himself, and then drove them all to Guan Yu's side. After returning to Hedong, Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han's face and right shoulder were trembling frequently, and knew that he had suffered a lot of injuries, and intended to check the recovery of Wen Han's injuries, but Wen Han politely refused and asked Hua Tuo to take care of Guan Yu first.

And Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han had just returned to Hedong and had a lot of things to deal with, so he went to take care of Guan Yu first according to Wen Han's wishes, but he made a lot of advice to Wen Han before he passed, telling Wen Han not to be too tired, so as not to worsen his injury.

Wen Han endured the sharp pain from the wound on his right shoulder, and pretended to have an undisturbed expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter. The sooner I decide, the sooner I decide, the sooner my heart can be determined. In today's situation, we are like a boat walking in the waves, and if we are not careful, we will end up in pieces at any time. ”

"If this is the case, Zhicai will definitely relieve the worries of the Lord."

Xi Long sighed in his heart, and did not dismantle Wen Han, and after clearing his throat, he recalled from his mind that he had already analyzed and made a plan. As a top strategist, in fact, after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he began to think about the future direction for Wenhan and even the entire Hedong.

"As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the general trend of the heroes competing for the deer could no longer be stopped. For example, the princes everywhere are rapidly accumulating power in order to achieve great things in the world. In Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, there are two fierce tigers of Hanoi Yuan Shao and Beiping Gongsun Zhan, and although Han Fu and Liu Yu have a state, they are not the opponents of the two of them. Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have attacked Han Fu's Jizhou, and after Jizhou decides the winner, it will be Liu Yu's turn to Youzhou. If my guess is correct, the northern land will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan.

And Cao Cao has a good relationship with Liu Dai in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is now violated by black mountain thieves, and Liu Dai's talent is mediocre and it is difficult to resist. Cao Cao has many strategists, Xun Yu, Xun You's uncles and nephews all have talents through heaven and earth, and Cao Cao also has the true character of a hero. Maybe he's already in mind right now. According to my guess, he should use the excuse of helping Liu Dai repel the thieves, and collect the Montenegrin thieves all the way, first collect the thieves' base camp Qingzhou, and then go to Yanzhou.

At the same time, in the south, there are also tiger and wolf generations such as Yuan Shu of Runan, Sun Jian of Changsha, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and the south should be divided by the three of them. As for the west, Yongzhou and Liangzhou will be divided in the hands of Lu Bu and Li Xun and others.

In this way, most of the world's rivers and mountains will fall into chaos, and these states and counties will become the target of evil tigers, if I wait for Hedong to intervene, it will be difficult to achieve great benefits. And in fact, there is a state and county, and the lord has already laid an ambush, so it is the best time to take it at this time? ”
