In the eighth chapter, in the fifteenth section of November, Liu Biao and Xin Ping went down from Luoyang, shuttling back and forth between Pengcheng and Xiangcheng, trying their best to persuade Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to stop fighting and shake hands and make peace.

Yuan Shu's heart hung on the two counties of Yangzhou and Jiangbei, and he was eager to go south to attack Sun Ce, so of course he was willing to negotiate peace. Liu Bei received an urgent report from Jian Yong at this time.

After Guan Cheng and Guan Hai led the Yellow Turban Army to conquer Beihai and Laiwu counties in Nanqingzhou, they immediately turned around and killed Langya County in Xuzhou.

Jian Yong begged Liu Bei to come back as soon as possible, if the Yellow Turban Army was allowed to occupy the eastern part of Xuzhou, Xuzhou would have endless troubles.

Liu Bei was helpless, and immediately prepared to withdraw his troops to the east. Although Xuzhou's Xiapi County is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, compared to Yuan Shu's strength, Liu Bei feels that it is certain to fight the Yellow Turban Army first.

As for Yuan Shu, when he and Sun Ce were dying, it would not be too late for him to take the opportunity to recapture Xiapi County.

Cao Cao hated Yuan Shu to the core, and wanted to kill Yuan Shu in one go, but due to Yuan Shao's public interference, he wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate Yuan Shu and occupy Yangzhou.

At present, Yuan Zhong and Xia Zhao have rushed to Chenliu with their troops and threatened Dingtao from behind Cao Cao, and Liu Bei is eager to go east to Langya County to attack the Yellow Turban Army, plus Yuan Shu has been clamoring all day long to establish another imperial unity, Cao Cao is also a little weak-hearted.

However, in order to regain the wealth of Yanzhou that was captured by Yuan Shu, he still slapped his swollen face and became fat, and he did not give up.

Yuan Shu ate him, but he didn't give it. He commented to Xin who came to persuade peace, you go and tell that black-skinned little man that he drove me out of the Central Plains twice, and I can't get some benefits from the Central Plains?

I just won't give it to him. Now these things are mine, and I have the ability to ask him to grab them himself. Xin commented that Cao Aman has issued a decree in the name of the Son of Heaven and pardoned your guilt, what else do you want?

There is also a principle to be a robber, and you can't be too shameless. Yuan Shu became even more angry when he heard this. Who are the robbers in this world?

Who is rebellious? When the imperial court sent Jin Shang to Yanzhou to make a history of assassination, Cao Aman sent people to drive him away. Yanzhou was grabbed by Cao Aman, and he was the biggest robber.

Who is Xuzhou for? Is it Liu Bei's? What is Tao Qian? He said to hand over Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and Xuzhou is Liu Bei's?

So what do you want the Son of Heaven to do? Liu Bei is not only shameless, thick-skinned, but also has no son of heaven in his eyes, this kind of person is not rebellious, who is rebellious?

I rob robbers, I rob rebellious things, I have to talk about principles, you kid has no brains.

Xin Ping sneered, Brother Highway, if you say so, then I will ask you, is Nanyang yours?

Is Yangzhou yours? Everyone else is a robber, but what about you? Are you a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?

"I'm a robber." Yuan Shu patted his chest and said without shame,

"I'm a robber, I admit it, so you go and tell Cao Aman that he wants to snatch something from the robbers, go dream."

"Also, you go and tell Yuan Shao that he is the biggest robber today, he not only robbed Jizhou, robbed Luoyang, but also robbed the Central Plains, and in the future he will rob the world of the Han Dynasty. Grab it, grab it, what face do you want? What can be achieved by hiding like a woman? Xin Ping scoffed,

"To be a robber to do your part, what do you have besides shamelessness, scoundrel, shamelessness, and incompetence? If it weren't for Brother Benchu coming forward, you would have died this time. A person who has been mixed up for decades was planted in the hands of a stinky child, what are you still alive for? Find a rope and hang yourself, so as not to be embarrassed. Sun Ce's betrayal can be said to be Yuan Shu's biggest failure so far, this sentence deeply stimulated Yuan Shu, and he almost fainted.

Yuan Shu's reputation is indeed not very good, which can be seen from his nickname Yuan Changshui, but he is righteous and has always treated his friends well.

In the most difficult days when he was driven out of Nanyang by Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao, none of his subordinates abandoned him.

However, Sun Ce, whom he trusted the most, gave him a hard stab in the back. Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he pointed his finger and said coldly: "Do you think Yuan Benchu is amazing? I tell you, he, like me, will die without a place to be buried. Xin Ping stared at him with wide eyes, like looking at a madman, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was full of ridicule and contempt,

"Okay, I'll wait and see." Yuan Shu is quite unreasonable, and he is arrogant and arrogant at this point.

Seeing that the mediation was about to fail, Liu Biao had no choice but to come up with a killer idea. Liu Biao was angry, and he threatened Cao Cao that winter is coming, and it will snow soon, and I will not provide you with grain and grass when the Jingzhou army has returned to Xiangyang.

In the face of Liu Biao's naked threat, Cao Cao had no choice but to bow his head. In December, Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Yanzhou, and Liu Bei led his army to Langya County.

Yuan Shu led his army south and killed Jiujiang County. In mid-December, Hanoi County, Huai Thanh, Quang Bu Jin. The harsh winter arrived, and the Yellow River froze about ten days in advance.

Zhang Liao, Sima Yi, and Zhang Xiu rushed onto the embankment.

"In the past few years, the winter has been getting longer and colder." Sima Yi pointed to the white ice surface of the Yellow River shrouded in mist, and shook his head,

"I hope that northern Xinjiang will not suffer from snowstorms this year, otherwise it will ......"

"Are you worried about the general's safety, or do you regret that you didn't go to the desert with the general?" Zhang Liao asked with a smile.

"Lord Sima is probably worried that he hasn't fought in the past few years." Zhang Xiu said with a smile on the side,

"If the northern Xinjiang is affected, the time for the imperial court to attack the Central Plains will definitely be postponed." Sima Yi laughed,

"I want to ask the two adults, is fighting also addictive?" Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu looked at each other and smiled, this young man had been fighting for almost a year, and he was addicted to it.

"It's better not to fight." Zhang Xiu thought of her dead relatives and brothers, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

"yes." Zhang Liao sighed in a low voice,

"When you're older, you'll know that fighting a war is a painful and cruel thing." Looking at the upright bodies of the two battle-hardened generals sitting on horseback, Sima Yi felt a heavy sadness and vicissitudes.

The north wind was howling and bitterly cold. The three men led the horses and walked slowly along the river embankment. The fighting in Hanoi ended temporarily, and the southern army was ordered to return to Jinyang.

Coming to replace the southern army stationed in Hanoi were the two battalions of Xindu and Ganling of the seven battalions of Jizhou. In the future, the soldiers and horses of the other five large battalions in Jizhou will take turns to rush to Hanoi to defend it.

The Xindu camp was originally led by Zhang Liao, but now it is under the command of Zhang Xiu. It is rumored that Zhang Xiu was able to become one of the commanders of the seven battalions in Jizhou because of the relationship between the current Taiwei Xu Rong.

Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji entrusted his nephew to Xu Rong before he died. Many generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army were quite dissatisfied with Xu Rong's approach.

Zhang Liao was reappointed as the commander of the Ganling camp and sat in Hanoi. The former commander of the Ganling battalion, General Wulie, Wen Chou, was ordered to return to the dynasty.

He will join the Southern Army in Handan and lead the Southern Army back to Jinyang. He was also accompanied by Sima Yi, who was worshiped as Che Du Lieutenant for his merits.

Today, Sima Yi left Hanoi with the last of the Southern Army's iron cavalry. Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu specially saw him off.

Sima Yi stopped,

"Don't send it to the two adults, go back. We'll see you later. Zhang Liao was a little excited, and within a few months, the two fought side by side, worked together, and took Hanoi, forming a deep friendship with each other.

At the time of parting, he didn't know what to say,

"If you go faster on the road, it is estimated that you will be able to catch up with Lord Tian Chou's wedding." Sima Yi smiled, his eyes suddenly moistened,

"Brother Wenyuan, thank you. You've taught me a lot over the past few months. ”

"Zhongda, you are a genius in war." Zhang Liao said with emotion,

"In the future, maybe I will follow you to conquer the world." Sima Yi's heart was hot, and he gave Zhang Liao a deep salute.

In mid-December, Chang'an. Ma Chao was knocked down by great pain. Han Sui and Pang De walked out of Ma Chao's military tent one after the other.

"Sir, do you really want to keep fighting?" Han Sui sighed, didn't speak, and still walked silently.

His tall, emaciated body looked particularly thin and desolate in the cold wind. Pound looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

Yuan Shao killed Ma Teng's family, Yuan Tan killed Ma Chao's family, and when sixty-four bloody heads were sent to the camp in Western Xinjiang, the people of Western Xinjiang were furious.

Yuan Shao spread the word to the world, saying that Ma Chao was selfish and plotted against Guanzhong, and at the instigation of Han Sui, he disregarded the lives of his relatives and the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety, went against the sky, and raised troops to betray, which is the most despicable and shameful rebellion in the world.

Yuan Shao's lies can deceive the people of the world, but they cannot deceive the people of Western Xinjiang. General Fubo Ma Yuan enjoys eternal glory in Western Xinjiang and Guanzhong, and Ma Teng has fought in various parts of Western Xinjiang for more than ten years, and his reputation has shocked the border.

All the people of Xijiang believe that the Ma family represents the bravery and loyalty of the people of Xijiang, and no one can abuse it with impunity.

Ma Teng can die on the battlefield like a hero, even if he is framed by villains, it will not damage his prestige.

But today's death of Ma Teng is an insult to Ma Teng and an insult to the people of Western Xinjiang. The hatred of the people of Western Xinjiang was ignited, and they hated the same enemy, swore to attack and kill Guanzhong, to smash Luoyang, and to sacrifice the blood of Yuan Shao and Yuan Valve to all the heroic souls who died unjustly in Western Xinjiang.

Han Sui's heart was full of pain. When Ma Teng wanted to leave him and follow Yuan Shao, he was heartbroken.

When the sad news of Ma Teng's murder came, he fell into deep guilt and self-blame. If he hadn't left him, Ma Teng wouldn't have fallen into the situation he is in today.

When the soldiers of Western Xinjiang let out a thunderous roar, when hatred and anger burned fiercely in the camp of Western Xinjiang, he felt not only the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, but also the great fear, and the sadness and helplessness that years of hard work had been wasted in a blink of an eye.

This battle cannot be fought for Western Xinjiang. After taking power alone, although it has experienced about ten years of stability, in the face of the war-torn and desolate land, it is also unable to recover and can only barely support itself.

Once encountering a disaster, the only way out is to kill Guanzhong and plunder. Occupying Guanzhong can solve the barrenness of Western Xinjiang, and occupying Guanzhong can realize one's dream of dominating one side.

However, although there are tens of thousands of brave soldiers and the military force that dominates the world, Western Xinjiang is too poor.

For more than ten years, every effort has finally turned into a nightmare, and Guanzhong is still a distant dream.

The poverty in Western Xinjiang has not changed because of the stability of Western Xinjiang, but the Qiang people in Western Xinjiang have been given time to recover because of the stability of Western Xinjiang.

Twelve years ago, the June thunder died, and twelve years later, in the Qiang tribe on the western border, there were more June thunderstorms.

He did not have enough strength to protect the twelve counties in western Xinjiang, and finally had to give up the five counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Zhangye and Zhangye Juyan in the northwest.

Today, these five counties have once again become the pastures of the Qiang people, and Wuwei County has become the border between the Qiang and Han people.

It was in this situation that he chose Hebei. Only Li Hong, a general who was also born in the frontier, can understand his own situation, and only the warriors who have been fighting bloodily in the frontier can understand this land and sincerely help him.

Hebei's aid had just begun, and Western Xinjiang had just seen hope, but a disaster suddenly came. There is no financial endowment in the western frontier to fight this war, and the final outcome of this war of revenge may end in defeat, as in the past.

Now the Western Xinjiang cannot afford any defeat, because the Xiqiang people are eyeing the Yellow River, and they may kill the Yellow River at any time and encroach on more land of the Han Dynasty.

But in the face of the painful Ma Chao, he couldn't speak, and the soldiers of Western Xinjiang were full of confidence in the capture of Guanzhong, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

Now is indeed the best opportunity to capture Guanzhong. Yuan Shao's army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jizhou, and the Northern Xinjiang Army pursued and captured Hanoi, directly threatening Luoyang.

The forces of all parties in the Central Plains are fiercely conquest, and Yuan Shao is bound to find it difficult to stay out of the matter. The Yuan army, which was heading west of the Guanxi, was again dragged by the Hebei Frontier Army.

The only one who can support Guanzhong is the Yuan army on the front line of Nanyang. Western Xinjiang has belonged to the Jinyang Imperial Court, and when the Western Xinjiang Army attacks Guanzhong, the Northern Xinjiang Army will definitely support and help.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. The dream of the people of Western Xinjiang may become a reality at this moment. I'm old, and I don't know when I'm going to fall.

For the sake of Western Xinjiang and his lifelong dream, he finally decided to take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong and occupy Guanzhong.

Han Sui ordered that in addition to the necessary military strength to garrison the passes in various places to guard against the invasion of the Qiang people, the rest of the troops immediately rushed to Yicheng to assemble and rushed to the battlefield in Guanzhong.

Even if it's snowing, you're going to get here. Relying on Xijiang's own strength, it could not occupy Guanzhong, and it had to get assistance from Hebei.

For this reason, Han Sui urgently wrote to the Jinyang court and the general Li Hong, asking for money and grain support. Han Sui is gambling this time.

If he is defeated, it is very likely that the western frontier will be occupied by the Qiang people within a few years, and if Li Hong wants to pacify the western frontier in the future, he will need to pay countless times higher than the current price.

Li Hong obviously would not watch the loss of Western Xinjiang, he could only spare no effort to help him capture Guanzhong.

After the Jizhou War, Hebei was extremely short of wealth, and if Li Hong promised to help him, the time for Hebei to recover its strength would be delayed for many years.

In this way, Hebei's strategy to pacify the Central Plains as soon as possible while the Central Plains was in turmoil has failed, and the pattern of the world will change again.

Western Xinjiang got Guanzhong, and its strength increased sharply. Under the circumstance that Hebei is temporarily unable to conquer the Central Plains, Western Xinjiang will surely become one of the forces vying for hegemony in a few years.

A few years later, perhaps he will lead the Western Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, and Li Hong, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and others will compete in the Central Plains and conquer the world.
