Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 53 Prime Minister Cai Yong was angry to the extreme, he sharply reprimanded Xian Yufu and others, especially Li Wei, who hated him even more, thinking that he had failed the high expectations of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and violated the principle of checks and balances of power under the official system at the critical moment of the survival of the society, and supported the eldest princess to monopolize power, which laid deep sorrows for the great cause of Zhongxing.

"The rebellion of Wang Mang's relatives two hundred years ago, and the rebellion of the ** eunuch eleven years ago, all pushed the Han into the abyss of defeat, isn't this lesson profound enough? The authority is concentrated in the inner dynasty, the imperial power overrides the relative power, in a certain period of time, with the efforts of the Ming monarch and good ministers, it does contribute to the revitalization of the society, but how many Ming monarchs have there in the past dynasties? How many good ministers are there? How long is the 400-year period of Guotai and Min'an in the Han Dynasty? How long has it been in turmoil? Why did Dahan fall into a desperate situation of overturning twice? Cai Yong pointed at Li Wei's nose and scolded angrily,

"We have been struggling in Hebei for so many years, we have worked hard to save the society, we have worked hard to implement the new policy, and now we finally see the hope of the Han Zhongxing, but it was crushed by your kid overnight."

"Do you know how hard this incident hit ZTE? In the future, the eldest princess will be weighted, why can you ensure that the Son of Heaven can govern smoothly? In the future, when the Son of Heaven is in charge, how can you guarantee that your relatives and eunuchs will not cause trouble to the court? Cai Yong waved a pair of thin arms, and a few tears suddenly welled up in his eyes,

"What is the support of the New Deal? Is it relying on the army of Northern Xinjiang? Is it up to us, the ministers? No, it depends on the balance and restraint of power. Only when the authority of the Han Dynasty is properly checked and balanced can the New Deal be protected, sustainably developed, and continued from generation to generation. Cai Yong sat on the seat weakly and shook his head in frustration,

"Our generation has laid the cornerstone of Han Zhongxing, but we are all old, there is not much left, Zhongxing's Dading will be cast in the hands of your generation, but ......" Cai Yong pointed at Li Wei, hoarse, and shouted angrily,

"However, you raised the hammer and smashed the foundation of ZTE, so that Zhongxing Dading lost its solid foundation from then on, and pushed the scarred Han into the abyss of defeat again." Li Wei's face was red, and he listened respectfully with his head down, not daring to say a word.

When Li Wei was not born, Cai Yong was already famous all over the world, whether it was prestige, qualifications or knowledge, not to mention Li Wei in the court today, even Yang Biao, Xu Shao and others are difficult to match.

can compare with Cai Yong, except for Zheng Xuan, Zhao Qi and a few other people, the others have gone to the sky.

Cai Yong was furious, Xian Yufu, Zhang Yan, Li Wei, and Tian Chou didn't even dare to hum.

"Brother Bo, don't be too excited, if this matter is not for the full support of the general, His Highness himself will never dare to issue an edict at will." Yang Biao stroked his white beard lightly and persuaded in a low voice,

"Or ask them first, and see if the general has a plan to deal with the aftermath?"

"Aftermath? What can he do to deal with the aftermath? In addition to fighting wars over the years, how many political affairs has he asked? He only had more troops in his mind, and he only thought about pacifying the world and making great achievements. He only has the interests of northern Xinjiang in his eyes, and there is no great cause of the Han Dynasty at all. Cai Yong was furious, turned over and stood up again,

"What is the purpose of Chang'an? For the interests of Northern Xinjiang. What is the purpose of the troop increase? Or for the interests of northern Xinjiang. ”

"I told him several times in my letters that once the capital was established in Chang'an, the center of gravity of the Han defense would extend to the west and north, and a large number of troops would be stationed on the frontier. The situation in Western Xinjiang is now very critical, and for the safety of the capital, the imperial court must use a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to rectify it in recent years. At that time, how many troops and wealth did the Han still have to invest in the Jianghuai and Jingyu frontlines to fight the counterinsurgency? The longer the counterinsurgency dragged on, the stronger the strength of the rebellion, and the more difficult it became, which in turn affected the stability of the western and northern frontiers. At this time, if the Han Dynasty suffers disasters for several years in a row and the financial endowment is sharply reduced, we may not be able to stabilize the northwest and southern rebellions, and the great cause of Zhongxing may fail. What is particularly serious is that once we are trapped in the northwest and allow the rebellion to gain a firm foothold on the north and south banks of the Yangtze River, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south may form in the world. The society was divided into two, and the Han Dynasty was immediately overturned. ”

In addition, when Wang Mang usurped and rebelled, Chang'an was burned by the red eyebrows. When Chang'an was turbulent a few years ago, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other rebels lit a fire in Chang'an and burned the only remaining Weiyang Palace. Now if the capital is Chang'an, the first thing is a huge reconstruction project. Rebuilding Chang'an requires a staggering amount of wealth, and it takes several years to recruit craftsmen and people, and at this critical juncture to pacify the world, how can the imperial court have the strength to rebuild Chang'an? I am afraid that if Chang'an is not rebuilt, the counterinsurgency will fail, and the northwest and northwest Xinjiang will also be in chaos. ”

"On the contrary, if we set the capital in Luoyang, there would not be so many dangers, and the great cause of Zhongxing would advance steadily. Although the two northwestern frontiers, especially the western frontier, may suffer from the ravages of war for a period of time, compared with the failure of the great cause of Zhongxing and the danger of the collapse of the society, we are undoubtedly very worthwhile to pay this price. ”

But the general couldn't listen to it, he couldn't listen to it at all, he couldn't tolerate the war in the northern Xinjiang, he couldn't accept the loss of the western Xinjiang, he didn't want to see the desert he conquered with his own hands fall under the iron hooves of the Hu people, and he didn't want to see the people in the western Xinjiang displaced and starving. The purpose of his insistence on setting the capital in Chang'an was precisely for the benefit of the people of northern Xinjiang and for his own merits and glory. ”

"It is necessary to increase troops, whether it is to defend the frontier or to quell a rebellion, it is necessary to increase troops, but if the capital is Chang'an, is this increase still necessary? The capital is Chang'an, the current battlefield is in the northwest and Xinjiang, we need iron cavalry, there are enough iron cavalry in the desert outside the Saiwai, and we have no need to increase our troops at all. After the existing forces took Luoyang City, they could only stick to the Central Plains due to financial resources, troops, and expedition strategies, and were unable to continue to go south to quell the rebellion. When the western Xinjiang was stabilized and Chang'an City was rebuilt, a long time passed. At that time, the rebels were already strong and strong, and they could completely confront us, and the formation of a confrontation between the north and the south was inevitable. Cai Yong stood in front of Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan, and asked angrily: "Two adults, is there a mistake in my statement?" The Han Dynasty is about to be overturned, what is the point of still holding on to the northwest and Xinjiang? If we set the capital in Luoyang now, the grain from the three states of Qinghai, Yanji and Hebei will soon be transported to Luoyang. The wealth of the imperial court could support the large army to attack the southern rebellion continuously. In this way, although we have given up the western frontier, we have stabilized the northern frontier and can concentrate our main efforts on going south to suppress the rebellion. When the army has swept away the rebellion, we can immediately turn around and conquer the western frontier, and the great cause of Zhongxing will soon see the light of day, what is wrong with this? ”

However, the general firmly disagreed, believing that the prerequisite for pacifying the world was the absolute stability of the two northwestern frontiers, otherwise the southward counterinsurgency would be abandoned halfway. I can't understand the general, I can only understand the general's idea as sticking to the interests of the people in northern Xinjiang, and I am unwilling to let the interests of northern Xinjiang suffer any losses in the process of rejuvenation. In his heart, Northern Xinjiang is his root, always the first, and Dahan and Sheji can only be ranked second. ”

"Well, now, the general's purpose has been reached, the northern Xinjiang is solid, the western Xinjiang will soon be pacified, and Chang'an City will regain its former glory. However, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty is about to be split into two, and the period of the Han's revival is getting farther and farther away from us. Cai Yong vented, his anger gradually subsided a little, his eyes showed sadness, and he sat behind the desk panting violently.

Yang Biao and Liu He were both scolded by Cai Yong

"Angry reprimand" was suppressed, and sat on the table and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After so many years, it is still very rare for a minister like Cai Yong to publicly accuse the general of putting the northern Xinjiang and personal interests first, and it is estimated that Cai Lao is the first.

Cai Yong had a very good personal relationship with the general, and his life was saved by the general. No matter how much he scolds, the general laughs at most, but the general may vent his anger on other ministers.

Yang Biao and Liu He saw that Cai Yong stopped talking, so they hurriedly changed the topic and asked Li Wei if there was a way to save him.

Although the people of northern Xinjiang have taken the initiative to delegate power, the damage to the interests of northern Xinjiang is also obvious, and there is certainly room for maneuver in this matter.

Li Wei showed dissatisfaction on his face, sat next to Xian Yufu without saying a word, obviously scolded by Cai Yong.

Xian Yufu was helpless, so he had to take the initiative to say to Cai Yong: "Boss, where is the capital, you can't just take care of the great cause of Zhongxing in front of you, but also take into account the fate of the Han after Zhongxing." Whether it is the eldest princess, the general, the boss, or the ministers of the DPRK and China, we and the ministers of the DPRK and China cannot predict the future, so whether it is to make the capital Chang'an or the capital Luoyang is currently being discussed, and there is no conclusion yet. ”

"Why the general supports the eldest princess to set the capital of Chang'an, the boss already knows, and the general also made it clear in his letter. The current Han is not the Han of ten years ago, and after 11 years of war, the national strength of the Han has declined, which is a fact that must be admitted. In the past 11 years, the reason why we have been able to persist in northern Xinjiang and lay the foundation for Zhongxing is directly related to the fact that the imperial army's army swept through the northwest and stabilized the border 11 years ago. If it had not been for the Battle of Sunset Eleven years ago, it would have been impossible for us to gain a foothold in northern Xinjiang, let alone occupy the three prefectures of Hebei. ”

"Today, eleven years later, the Hu people in the northwest and Xinjiang have basically recovered their vitality, their new generation has grown up, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger, on the contrary, our national strength is not only getting weaker and weaker, but also the war continues."

"The strength of the two sides is declining, and the Hu people in the northwest and Xinjiang are becoming more and more of a threat to us. If we set the capital in Luoyang at this moment and throw the main forces into the counterinsurgency battlefield, then not only the western frontier may be lost, but the northern frontier may also fall into the flames of war. In last year's Central Plains War, almost all the Hu cavalry outside the Saiwai went south, and what the situation of the Han Dynasty was, those Hu leaders were clear. If we don't have enough deterrent troops outside the fortress, as long as one Hu tribe raises troops to rebel, the desert will definitely be full of smoke, and there will be no more peaceful days. When we take care of one thing and lose the other, how can ZTE's great cause be completed? ”

"What adults are most worried about is that there will be a confrontation between the north and the south in the Han Dynasty, but as long as we stabilize the northwest and northwest Xinjiang, our strength will increase exponentially, and even the confrontation between the north and the south will not be terrible at that time, and we will have the strength to calm the world. Of course, the time to pacify the world will definitely be delayed, and in the case of the sudden death of Han Sui in Western Xinjiang and the chaos in Western Xinjiang, we have no choice. The capital is Luoyang, and we will abandon the western frontier, Guanzhong is in danger, and may even become a ruin, and the great cause of Zhongxing will never be as smooth as adults imagined. The capital is Chang'an, and we firmly control the western frontier, Guanzhong is stable, and Luoyang is stable, so that we can lay the advantage of sweeping the world, and the southern rebellion will be in our pocket sooner or later. Cai Yong shook his hand,

"Yu Xing, neither of you and I can convince the other, we don't argue about this issue. The problem now is that the power of the middle secretary is too great, and the eldest princess can do whatever she wants, if the eldest princess is persuaded by us and suddenly changes her course and asks for Luoyang, the capital, what will you do? Is it the same as the eldest princess, changing her ways? ”

"Then it depends on who the general supports?" Li Wei barely calmed the resentment in his chest, and said slowly,

"The general is still supervising Shangshutai and Shangshu, if he supports the foreign dynasty, the eldest princess may have to reconsider her decision." Cai Yong, Yang Biao, and Liu He suddenly thought of something, and their faces changed slightly.

The eldest princess suddenly issued an edict to withdraw the decision-making power of the monk Shangtai of the foreign dynasty when the foreign ministers were defenseless, because she had the support of the great general behind her.

If the foreign dynasty uses the power of the prime minister to contend with it and confront the eldest princess, the eldest princess can immediately use this as an excuse to expand Shangshutai, let Shangshutai handle political affairs, and make the foreign courts, especially the prime minister's mansion, become a decoration.

The loss of the foreign dynasty was even greater. The general still supervises Shangshutai and is subordinate to Shangshu, which just blocks the way for the eldest princess to further reduce her power.

The generals control the military power. Whoever the general supports, he will be able to control the government. The general supports the eldest princess, and the imperial power overrides the prime minister's power, and the eldest princess can do whatever she wants.

If the general supported the foreign dynasty, the power of the prime minister would swell dramatically, and the imperial power could be firmly restrained. The eldest princess issued an edict but the monk Shangtai of the foreign dynasty refused to implement it, so the imperial power has no prestige at all, and it is the same thing whether there is or not.

The military power in the hands of the general is related to the success or failure of the great cause of the Han Dynasty, and no one dares to move. Whoever uses the power of the army will be wiped out at least and destroy the community at the worst, this is the consensus of the court.

At that time, the general He Jin died, and there was Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Dong Zhuo died, and there was a rebellion between Li Dao and Guo Yan. Li Dao and Guo Yan died, and the Son of Heaven and the imperial court became ants that survived, and were almost washed away by the surging Yellow River.

Now if you want to revive the Han Dynasty and Zhongxing Sheji, you can't do without the general and the Northern Xinjiang Army under his command.

Moreover, since the success of King Qin, the general has rarely been concerned with political affairs, which is the most important reason why the great cause of Zhongxing can be steadily promoted.

This time, after the general supported the eldest princess to strengthen the imperial power, the military power in his hands suddenly improved, not only standing with the imperial power and the prime minister's power, but also firmly checking and balancing the imperial power and the prime minister's power, and completely controlling the direction of the great cause of Zhongxing in his own hands.

In the past, if the general was involved in political affairs, he basically relied on Shangshutai, and the military power in his hands was hidden under the imperial power and could not be seen.

Now, the general threw Shang Shutai away, took out the military power in his hand, and relied on the military power to balance the imperial power and the relative power, so as to gain control of the government.

Although the general may be farther away from political affairs in this way, he firmly grasped the direction of Zhongxing's great cause.

If the imperial power endangers the great cause of Zhongxing, the military power and the prime minister join forces, and the generals and the ministers of the foreign dynasty fight against the eldest princess.

If the prime minister endangered the great cause of Zhongxing, the military power supported the imperial power, and the general helped the eldest princess to suppress the foreign ministers.

What if the imperial power and the relative power join forces to fight against the military power? The consequences are self-evident, and I believe that the eldest princess and the ministers of the foreign dynasty will not joke with the fate of Sheji and their own lives.

Moreover, the military power is subordinate to the imperial power, the general has lost the military power, and it is the eldest princess who has benefited, and the ministers of the foreign dynasty have lost the support of the general, and it is impossible to continue to control the relative power, so they can only watch the eldest princess take back all the relative power, and the imperial power is above the relative power.

Today, the ministers of the three princes made an appointment to meet with the officials of Northern Xinjiang, because they were worried that the power of the prime minister would be gradually swallowed up by the imperial power. Now, whether it is the imperial power or the prime minister's power, in order to maximize their own interests, they must try their best to get the support of the military power.

And the general is diligent in military affairs and neglects political affairs, and his approach is not only conducive to the stability of the government, but also allows the eldest princess and the ministers of the foreign court to accept the general's arrangement.

As a result, the position of the general is more important and stable, and the interests of the people of Northern Xinjiang are thus guaranteed, and the great cause of Zhongxing can be gradually advanced according to the wishes of the people of Northern Xinjiang.

Yang Biao suddenly sighed,

"If the general can keep his promise and keep his promise, it will be a blessing for the Han." He looked at Cai Yong, who was frowning and contemplative, and Liu He, who looked helpless, and said with a smile,

"More than ten years ago, the general was in Xiliang bloody corruption, and he led 100,000 troops south to coerce the imperial court, arrogantly bending the law, doing everything, it can be said that he is the minister of the country, but today's general ......" He looked at Xian Yufu and others, and smiled,

"He is the first minister of my Han Zhongxing, and he will definitely be able to leave a name in history in the future." Yang Biao's admiration could not change the status quo in the court, and the two sides were still arguing fiercely over the division of power.

The general has already played the eldest princess, and let the left car cavalry general Xian Yu assist in leading the big Sima affairs, and sit in Jinyang to supervise the military affairs.

Da Sima is in charge of military decision-making, and Taiwei is in charge of military administration, and there is no overlap between the two governments in terms of functions and powers, and they are both under the direct leadership of the Son of Heaven.

But because Li Hong participated in the affairs of Shangshu and supervised state affairs, under normal circumstances, Taiwei reported to Li Hongyu if he had something.

When Li Hong was not in Jinyang, the eldest princess led the military on behalf of the great general Sima, and the captain played directly to the eldest princess.

Now Li Hongzuo invited the Son of Heaven to no longer let the eldest princess lead the military of the Great Sima on his behalf, but turned to Xian Yu to lead the Great Sima Shi on behalf of the Auxiliary Acting Commander to sit in Jinyang.

Xian Yufu is only a left-handed general, and his rank is not enough, so the captain still pays tribute to the eldest princess if he has something.

So Li Hong asked the Son of Heaven to temporarily give the Great Sima Mansion a certain amount of military administrative power during the expedition, in order to ensure that the Great Sima Mansion could handle all kinds of military affairs as quickly as possible.

The Great Sima Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion both have the same military administrative power, so the Taiwei Mansion is naturally hollowed out, but the Grand Sima Mansion has both military decision-making power and military administrative power, plus the battlefield command power in the hands of the general, and the military power is immediately concentrated in the hands of the Great Sima General Li Hong.

Prime Minister Cai Yong of course didn't want to. The eldest princess deprived the outer dynasty of part of the decision-making power, the general snatched the military administration power from the outer dynasty, and Li Wei, the official of northern Xinjiang, controlled the financial power of the imperial court, and the loss of the outer dynasty was too great.

Liu He, the imperial historian, was also very angry, and in a fit of anger, he said that he would use the supervisory power in his hands to impeach some of the ministers of the country, and persuade the eldest princess to transfer some of the officials of northern Xinjiang back to Jinyang from all over the country.

Xian Yufu said with a smile: "Even if Your Highness forcibly passes the proposal to increase troops, if you want to complete the recruitment of soldiers before the end of October, you still need the strong cooperation of all counties and counties. Therefore, the general said that if the prime minister and the adults were willing to help with all their might, he would recommend the prime minister to participate in the affairs of the Shangshu and lead the Shangshutai with the general. "Although Shang Shutai now only has the executive power left, this executive power is still very large.

If the prime minister is subordinate to Shangshu Shi and leads Shangshutai, under the condition that the general basically does not care about political affairs, it is equivalent to merging the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshutai into one, and the power of the prime minister will increase suddenly.

The eldest princess appointed Cui Yan as Shang Shuling, and transferred a number of northern Xinjiang officials from Shang Shutai to the post of Zhongshu Supervisor, so that Shang Shutai continued to stay outside the palace to deal with political affairs, obviously taking into account the struggle for power in foreign dynasties.

At this point, both sides have achieved their goal, and they are all happy. At the end of August, the eldest princess issued an edict to increase the number of troops by 100,000.

On the same day, the eldest princess issued an order, and Prime Minister Cai Yong participated in Shangshu and acted as an agent for state affairs. With the left chariot cavalry general Xian Yu assisted to lead the big Sima affairs, in charge of military affairs.

With the right chariot cavalry general Xu Rongdu led the Guanzhong Sanfu and the military administration of Liangzhou in Western Xinjiang. Bai Xian Yuyin was the general of the expedition to the north, and replaced Xian Yufu to sit in Youzhou to guard the frontier.

Bai Zhumu is the middle secretary of the right middle book. Bai Yu Peng shot for the right servant of Shangshutai. Worship Zhao Heng as the Taishou of Hanbei County, and worship Li Su as the protector of Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate.

The eldest princess accepted the suggestion of Xu Rong, the general of the right chariot cavalry, and agreed that Nie Xiao would lead his army and clansmen to move back to the Huangzhong region of Western Xinjiang, and ordered Pang De, the general of Zhengxi, to send troops to protect it.

August, Yuzhou, Yingchuan. At the beginning of the month, Zhu Ling and He Yan were ordered to go south to Yuyuan Pass with an army of 15,000 and attack Yangcheng.

Wu Xiong led his army to meet the enemy. At the same time, Wen Ping and Liu Hu rushed to Luyang with the Jingzhou army, and launched a counteroffensive against the northern Xinjiang army together with Nanyang.

Yang Yi and Guo Xun were worried about the safety of Yangzhai City, so they led their troops to retreat to their father's city and face the enemy with their backs to the Rushui River. Wen Chou received the news and was very anxious, and ordered Jiang Wu to lead the iron cavalry to cut off the connection between Yingyin and Xuchang, and together with Song Xian, he commanded the army to storm Xuchang.

Five days later, Liu Bei couldn't hold on and retreated to Xinjicheng. Wen Chou then led his army to attack Yingyin. After holding out for two days, the Yingyin defenders retreated to Linying City.

Wen Chou was full of courage and hit Lin Ying again. Liu Bei joined the Yuzhou army near Xinjicheng, leaving a group of men and horses to contain the Northern Xinjiang army, and he rushed to support Lin Ying with the main force.

At this time, he received a letter from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was defeated in the pass, Luoyang was in danger, and the latest defense strategy of the imperial court was told in detail one by one.

Around October, no matter what the situation of the Yingchuan battle is, please take your troops and horses to Nanyang to discuss the plan, and prepare to lead the army west into Shu and open up the battlefield on the west road.

Liu Bei was surprised and delighted, and urgently summoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the army to Linying to rendezvous, intending to firmly hold the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Xuchang area and help Zhu Ling and Wenpin recapture Yangzhai.

In mid-August, Wen Chou led an army of 20,000 to take the initiative to attack, and the two sides fought fiercely five miles outside Linying City.

Liu Bei showed weakness, led his troops to fight and retreat, and Wen Chou supervised the army to pursue. Just as Wen Chou's army was approaching the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly led their troops to kill from the west bank of the Yingshui River and hit the flank of the Northern Frontier Army.

The Northern Xinjiang Army was caught off guard and retreated rapidly. Liu Bei joined the army in the city and covered the killing from behind. Wen Chou retreated to the Weishui River, and the pontoon bridge on the river was burned by Liu Bei, and the retreat of the army was cut off.

Wen Chou was furious and led the army to fight against the water. The two sides fought to the death on the west bank of the Weishui River. From noon to dusk, the Northern Xinjiang Army became more and more courageous and overwhelming.

The strength advantage of the Yuzhou army was not large, the number of new soldiers was too large, and the losses were getting bigger and bigger, and it was gradually unable to resist.

Liu Bei was in a dilemma. Let's continue to fight, the casualties are staggering, and if you don't fight, you won't be able to reverse the situation in Yingchuan. He originally thought that the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army would be low after the retreat was cut off, and it would collapse quickly under his own fierce pursuit, but who knew that Wen Chou was extremely strong, not only stabilized the morale of the army in a critical situation, but also launched a tidal offensive with the army.

Looking at the battlefield with a loud sound of killing, he even suspected that he had fallen for Wen Chou's trick to lure the enemy. After dusk, Liu Bei gave the order to retreat.

He was very frustrated, and a sure pursuit battle turned into an encounter unexpectedly, and his losses were even greater than Wen Chou's.

But what Liu Bei didn't know was that although the casualties of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army were not large, their main general, Wen Chou, was seriously injured and was sent back to the Chenliu camp overnight.

After receiving the urgent report, the general immediately ordered Xu Huang, the general of Wurui, to rush to the Yingzhou battlefield day and night to command the operation.

After Xu Huang arrived at Yingchuan, he immediately revised his combat strategy, ordered Song Xian to take 10,000 horses to hold on to the two cities of Yingyin and Xuchang to hold Liu Bei, and instead put all the main forces on the line of the Rushui River, preparing to conquer Luyang and cut off the connection between Luoyang and Jingzhou.

After Yuan Yao received the general's letter, he sent someone to Yingchuan to get in touch with Xu Huang. Xu Huang replied and ordered him to immediately withdraw from Runan and rush to the Yingchuan battlefield.

In late August, Xu Huang rushed to the front line of Luyang and gathered an army of 40,000 foot cavalry to launch an attack on Luyang.

Wen Ping and Liu Hu asked Liu Biao for help, and at the same time took 7,000 men and horses to defend the city. At the end of August, Yuan Yao led his army to break through Liu Bei's resistance and successfully arrived at Yingchuan.

Xu Huang was overjoyed and ordered them to rush to the Luyang front line immediately to participate in the battle. August, Kansai Battlefield. Lu Yi, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Sun Qin, Yang Hua and others commanded a large army to besiege Shaanxi.

After three days of fighting, he stopped fighting, wrote a seal, scolded Prime Minister Cai Yong and a group of ministers one by one, and then captured a prisoner and killed him, dipped in blood and wrote his name on the chapter.

He thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he forced Yang Feng and others to also dip their blood in their signatures and play them jointly. If I don't increase my troops, I won't be able to reach Hangu Pass before the end of September, and all the responsibility will be the imperial court.

The eldest princess was furious, ordered a reprimand, and punished her for one year. Koji was furious and ordered the withdrawal of troops, but he really didn't fight.

Duan Xuan and Gao Rou breathed a sigh of relief, drank wine and celebrated at night, and fell asleep. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the drums beat loudly, the flames soared, and the Northern Frontier Army suddenly entered the city.

Duan Xuan and Gao Rou were shocked, and retreated to Michi in embarrassment with the remnants of the defeated army. They never understood how Koji took the city.
