Chapter 5 Momentum Storm 18th March Up, Plains City. The spring is cold. More than 100,000 homeless people crowded on both sides of the road outside the city, crowded with people, and the cries shook the sky.

Li Hong was shocked and stopped suddenly.

"General, the general is coming......" The homeless people saw the general's battle flag and the iron cavalry army with bright armor from a distance, and suddenly shouted loudly and rushed from all directions.

"What's going on?" General Zuo Yi Yi saw the crowd of people swarming like a flood bursting the embankment, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Iron cavalry array, array, protect the general......" The war drums beat in an instant, the horn sounded, and the three thousand black leopards galloped vertically and horizontally from a hurricane like a flat ground, surrounding Li Hong and a group of Hebei military and political officials in the middle.

"Where's Wang Heizi? Where is Wang Heizi? This kid wants to die, and he actually connived at the homeless people to make trouble, does he not want to live anymore. Koji Yi's handsome face turned red, and he kept roaring, and he was extremely angry.

Li Hong looked at him coldly, his eyes full of suspicion. The main reason why Liyi and Zhang Yan had a very unpleasant quarrel last time was because Zhang Yan resolutely opposed going south to quell the rebellion.

After Zhang Yan went to Jinyang, he talked to Lu Yi several times, in addition to warning him not to be arrogant, but also secretly reminded him not to meddle in Hebei's political affairs, so as not to ask for trouble.

Koji Yi admitted his mistake at the time, and his attitude was very sincere. He was not to blame for the past, and continued to entrust him with the important task of supervising the Hebei military affairs and the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

But since Lü Bu and Cao Cao fought fiercely in Yanzhou and the Central Plains were in turmoil, his mistakes were made again. He repeatedly asked to go south, and even encouraged Wang Dang, Sun Qin, Peng Lie, Yu Yigen and other Yellow Turban generals to write a letter to him, strongly urging him to go south to fight.

He refused the request of many generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army, such as Koi Yi and Wang Dang, to go to war. In the past two years, the situation in the world has changed too quickly, and now the most important thing for Hebei is not to occupy the Central Plains, but to immediately occupy Guanzhong.

In order to let the generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army understand the strategy of Zhongxing Sheji set by Hebei, he convened several times to meet the generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army, such as Lu Yi.

But now it seems that Liyi, Wang Dang and others still did not understand the strategy of Hebei Zhongxing Sheji, let alone their own intentions.

"Hmph......" Li Hong sneered, raised the horsewhip in his hand and patted the shoulder of the priest,

"Order the righteous soldiers not to threaten the people with weapons." Then he pointed to Tian Chou, Fu Gan, and Wang Ling behind him and said,

"Come with me to the front and see."

"General, it's too dangerous ahead, so I'd better ask." Koji Yi hurriedly stopped,

"These people are all displaced people from Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Last year, they fled to Hebei with great difficulty, thinking that they could live a good life and get out of the sea of suffering, but who knew that just after a winter, the general was going to send them back. They were very frightened, unwilling to leave Hebei, and refused to get on the ship. So ......" Li Hong was shocked.

At the beginning of the year, Tian Kai and Liu Bei wrote successively, saying that Qingzhou and Xuzhou had serious population loss due to war, and the land was barren and uncultivated, and asked them to repatriate some of the displaced people, and they agreed without hesitation.

Did you do something wrong? Are these people who are far away from home and country unwilling to go back? Is this just your own wishful thinking?

The homeless fell to their knees, the black pressure boundless, and the cries and cries came and went.

"Cao Cao killed hundreds of thousands of us in Xuzhou. We finally escaped, how could the general bear to send us back again? Does the general have to kill us? ”

"We have returned to Xuzhou, and Cao Cao's murderous demon will definitely be killed again. He drove us into the river and drowned us alive, or he ate us as vegetable men. General, save us. ”

"Yanzhou has fought for so many years, and everyone has died, where is there anything to eat? Cao Cao's military rations are not millet grains, but people, we are the people of Cao Cao. ”

"General, don't drive us away. Even if we starve to death, we will die in Hebei, so that we can still leave a whole corpse. If you die in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, not to mention the corpse, even the bones will be swallowed by those wicked people. Li Hong walked slowly among the homeless people, listening to the helpless cries of the homeless, his heart was as painful as a pinprick, and his eyes were already blurred with tears.

"General, when have you ever fought the Yellow River? When will kill Cao Cao, that demon and save us? One after another, scrawny homeless people lay on the ground, screaming hoarsely and kowtowing vigorously.

Many had flesh and blood on their foreheads. Li Hong wanted to shout, he wanted to shout, he wanted to shout, he wanted to tell these poor people that he would immediately lead his army across the Yellow River and kill Cao Cao.

But he couldn't, his lips trembled violently, and he couldn't say a word.

"The general is about to lead his army across the Yellow River and destroy the Cao thief." Suddenly, an impassioned voice rose from behind Li Hong,

"The general is invincible, invincible, and will be able to calm the world." Li Hong Huoran turned around, and a tall and handsome young man was standing in the distance, raising his head and raising his arms to the sky.

The roar of the young man infected the righteous soldiers, and dozens of righteous soldiers around the young man suddenly raised their spears and shouted,

"General...... The general ...... "More soldiers, motivated by the roar, immediately joined in the cheers,

"General, General......" The thunderous roar suddenly pierced through the clouds and cracked the stones, and went straight into the sky. The outcasts followed, cheering in unison with the iron cavalry, hoarse,

"The Great Army...... The Great General......"

"Kill the Yellow River and destroy the Cao thief." The earth-shattering roar echoed over the Yellow River for a long time like bursts of spring thunder.

Koji Yi waved his hand vigorously. Priest Feng hurriedly stepped forward with a group of iron horsemen, struggling to squeeze a path through the crowd.

Li Hong then walked slowly towards the city gate surrounded by Lu Yi, Zhao Yun, Tian Chou, Fu Gan and others.

It didn't take long for Wang Dang, who was sweating profusely, to greet him with a group of guards.

"General, the dereliction of duty of the subordinate has frightened the general." Li Hong smiled coldly.

"Kuroko, you're getting more and more powerful now, and you can even think of this way. Don't you want your head anymore? "The king fell to his knees,

"General, the people of the Central Plains have suffered from war and suffering, and the general should use the power of thunder as soon as possible, lead the army south to eradicate the rebellion, and stabilize the society." Then the king raised his head suddenly, pointed to the people who were cheering around him, and said in a loud voice,

"General, the lower official is willing to lead the army to take the lead in killing the Yellow River." Li Hong glared at him fiercely,

"Let's go, let's go back to the city." When he arrived at the Pingyuan City Mansion, Li Hongfei dismounted, looked up at the tall gatehouse, and said to Wang Dang with a little dissatisfaction: "You are very good at enjoying it." Wang Dang smiled awkwardly,

"General, when the brothers faced the rain of bullets and arrows on the battlefield, they didn't even blink their eyes, and they all fought fiercely until they died. Now that the fighting has stopped, they should also be allowed to enjoy themselves. Otherwise, the soldiers will complain and their morale will be greatly affected. Li Hong turned his head to look at Ko Yi,

"The soldiers you bring are becoming more and more like you. I think Kuroko has taught you badly, so I'd better take him away. ”

"Don't, don't ......" Koji Yi shook his hand again and again, and said with a smile,

"The army is about to go south to fight, how can the general change the general?"

"Who said they were going to fight south?" Li Hong's face sank,

"Lu Bu can still support it, wait a little longer."

"Still waiting?" Wang Dang asked anxiously,

"General, when will it be? Wait for Lu Bu to die? Li Hong ignored him, turned around and beckoned to the two young and handsome Peng subordinates behind him,

"You all come here and get to know Lord Wang."

"This is Fu Gan, the son of Master Fu Xie, the Marquis of Zhuangjie."

"This is Wang Ling, the nephew of the former Situ Wang Yun." Li Hong pointed at Wang Ling with a smile and said,

"If he hadn't yelled in a hurry just now, I would still be trapped among the homeless people." Koji Yi patted Wang Ling's shoulder with admiration,

"With such intelligence at a young age, the future is limitless." Wang Ling hurriedly bowed down and said a few words of humility.

Wang Dang knew that Li Hong didn't want to talk about these things now, so he used the two young people as shields. He bowed his hands to Fu Gan and Wang Ling, and then hurriedly walked into the mansion after Li Hong.

Ko Yi and Wang Dang did not wait for Li Hong to sit down and rest, and continued to inquire about when they would send troops south. The two thought that since Li Hong had already made a promise in front of hundreds of thousands of displaced people, of course he would not change his mind again.

Li Hong really took a step back and did not continue to insist on not sending troops, but he still did not agree to immediately go south to fight.

"When will Tian Kai and Liu Bei send troops?"

Tian Kai replied that the remnants of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army had recently been rampant near Mount Tai, and he was worried that after the army left the country, the hinterland of Qingzhou would be invaded by the Yellow Turban Army, so he did not assemble the army for a long time. Wang Dang immediately explained,

"Liu Bei, the Mu of Xuzhou, was eager for revenge, and launched an attack on Cao Cao as early as the end of February, and it is estimated that he is now fighting fiercely with Cao's army near Fei Guo in Taishan County." Li Hong was silent.

Lu Yi shook his head and said: "At present, Tian Kai is reluctant to send troops, Liu Bei's strength is limited, and the army of Yuan Wei, the assassin of Yuzhou, has entered Yanzhou, and may have fought with Lu Bu, and now Lu Bu's situation is very bad." ”

"General, give the order immediately, let's fight." Wang Dang urged anxiously.

"Don't fight just yet." Li Hong looked at Wang Dang, and then looked at Lu Yi,

"I am responsible for the affairs of the homeless, and I have not thought it through, so that you can do nothing. But you are responsible for today's events, especially Yuntian. Prepare at once for the two of you, and go to the place where there is fighting. Lu Yi and Wang looked at each other face to face, looking stunned.

"General, is it true?"

"You two want to fight and go crazy, I'll fulfill you." Li Hong pointed to Koji Yi and said,

"You go to Kansai and be with Zilie (Xu Rong) and Ziwei (Huaxiong), now you get your wish." Koji Yi said in surprise: "Okay, good, a word is a certainty, a word is a certainty." ”

"What about me? Do I also go to Kansai? Wang Dang hurriedly asked.

"You go to Hedong." Li Hong nodded and said,

"You go and be with Qizhi (Yang Feng) and Zhang Baiqi." The king was in a hurry,

"I'm going to Kansai. There was no war in Hedong, and I didn't go to Hedong. ”

"Just because there is no war in Hedong does not mean that there is no war in Guanzhong." Li Hong said with a smile,

"I'll go to Hedong right away, and we'll meet in Hedong." In mid-March, Li Hong returned to Handan.

"What's the latest news coming from Guanzhong recently?"

"Nope." Zhu Mu handed Li Hong a letter,

"This is an urgent report from Lord Xu Rong, the general of Zhengxi. In early March, Chun Yuqiong began to lead an army to attack Sin'an City. This is Yuan Shao's first attack on Kansai this year, and it seems that he is going to make a move. ”

"Does anyone in Handan know about the departure of Liyi, Wang Dang, and Sun Qin from Jizhou?" Li Hong asked in a low voice while opening the book.

"Except for me, Zhong Yuan, and Zitai (Tian Chou), no one knows." Zhu Mu said,

"At present, everyone in Handan knows that General Yan Liang's army is rapidly moving south from Zhongshan and Changshan, and will reach the north bank of the Yellow River in March." Li Hong nodded, hurriedly glanced at Xu Rong's letter, and then opened the map on the desk,

"Has Jiang Wu and Mustafa's iron cavalry arrived in Jinyang?"

"It's already here, and it's heading to the east of the river day and night." Zhu Mu sat opposite Li Hong, pointed to Hedong County on the map and said,

"The 20,000 troops of Yu Xuan, Guo Daxian, and Liu Shi have arrived in Linfen, and after the three generals of Liyi, Sun Qin, and Wang Dang arrive, this army will be commanded by General Liyi, and then go to Pubanjin to meet the 20,000 troops of Yang Feng, Yushi, and Zhang Baiqi. It was this 50,000-foot cavalry army that attacked Guanzhong head-on. ”

"Does Ling Ming (Pound) have any news delivered?"

"Huwei General Pang De, Xiangwu General Wei Jun and Rizhu King Liu Ming are on their way to Beidi County." Zhu Mu pointed to Helan Mountain on the map and said,

"The Qiang cavalry of the wind and sand and Nie Xiao will cross Helan Mountain at the end of this month, enter Beidi County from Lingwu Valley, and meet Pang De." Zhu Mu's hand swiped down the map, focusing on Xiao Pass,

"If nothing else, General Pang De's 20,000 iron cavalry will probably enter Xiaoguan in mid-April, and then go down Liupan Mountain to kill Chang'an."

"Mid-April ......" Li Hong said to himself,

"It would be nice if they could be a little faster. Whether it can successfully capture Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong depends on this iron cavalry. ”

"Gongding, Brother Yuxing (Xian Yufu) and Brother Boju, please complete the assembly of the Youzhou army at the end of April, and go south at any time to attack the Central Plains." Zhu Mu was slightly surprised,

"The general plans to let Gongsun Chan re-lead the army?"

"Yes, as long as I take Guanzhong and rescue the Son of Heaven, the situation will be very favorable to Hebei, at this time, as long as I have enough troops, I can capture the Central Plains with lightning speed." Li Hong patted Zhu Mu's hand and said with a smile,

"Believe me, Brother Bo Jue will not betray the Son of Heaven, let alone the imperial court. By the way......" Li Hong suddenly asked suspiciously,

"Why hasn't your father's letter been delivered yet?" Zhu Mu shook his head worriedly. Jump to
