Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 2 Like Facing the Abyss Section 17
Chapter 2 is like the abyss, the seventeenth section of April, Hongnong County, Michi. After the two armies of Hu Zhen and Niu Fu converged, they hurried towards Tongguan.
Zhang Yan immediately commanded the army to pursue and force Tongguan. The hussar general Li Hong led the hussar general camp into Hongnong City.
A few days later, Sun Jian, the general of the captives, rushed to Hongnong to meet Li Hong. The two have not seen each other for four years since they parted ways in Luoyang.
This reunion after a long absence is naturally very happy. The two chatted for a while, and Sun Jian heard that Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, and Sang Yang, the officials and colleagues on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, were now in Jinyang, and he couldn't help but be very emotional.
"In the past, we fought with Dong Zhuo to fight Bianzhang and Han Sui in Western Xinjiang, but now we have turned around to fight Dong Zhuo, it's really helpless to think about it. If Lord Zhang had listened to me back then and killed Dong Zhuo, how could there be today? How could the Han Society suffer such a catastrophe? Li Hong comforted him a few words, and then said: "Zilie (Xu Rong), Yuntian (Koyi), and Ziwei (Huaxiong) will definitely come to see you if they know that you are coming." We haven't seen each other in years, and we should get together together. Sun Jian shook his head regretfully,
"Yes, I haven't seen them for five years since I left the Western Frontier. I heard Yuan Shu say that General Zhou Shen died of illness the year before last. Before he died, Yuan Shu went to visit. General Zhou Shen also mentioned a few of us again and again, especially the general, who was full of praise. It's a pity that we will never see him again. Li Hong had already heard Zhang Wen say about Zhou Shen's death, and when he heard Sun Jian talk about it at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
If it wasn't for Zhou Shen's care back then, I am afraid that I would have been more than lucky.
"Zilie, are they okay?" Sun Jian asked.
"It's all right." Li Hong said,
"Zilie and Yuntian are in Pubanjin and are commanding a large army to attack Chang'an. Ziwei went with the army to attack Tongguan. If you come a few days early, you can still see Ziwei. Sun Jian sighed softly and said: "If the king of Dong Qin is successful this time, a group of brothers on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang will definitely be able to reunite." He looked at Li Hong, and then asked,
"The general is determined to ask King Dong Qin this time?" Li Hong said with a smile: "The Northern Xinjiang army has all gone to the front line of Tongguan and Pubanjin, this is my determination." If everything goes well, in a few months, I will be able to take Guanzhong and save the Son of Heaven. Did Brother Wentai's army also go to Tongguan? Sun Jian smiled bitterly and took out a letter from his arms,
"This is a letter from the teacher to the general, please take a closer look at it." In the letter, Zhu Jun harshly criticized Yan Liang, saying that he was arrogant and bent the law, lawless, and disregarded the overall situation.
At the most critical time of the war, he did not attack Hangu Pass, but went to seize Luoyang City and the pass in the south of Luoyang.
Zhu Jun exhorted Li Hong to focus on social welfare and learn from Dong Zhuo's lesson. Under the current circumstances, it is better not to enter Luoyang, lest it be suspected and accused by various prefectures and counties, so that the great cause of Dong Qinwang will be wasted.
Li Hong's face was a little ugly. Sun Jian persuaded: "The general knows who the teacher is, so the general should not blame the teacher too much." Li Hong sneered, put down the letter,
"So, Brother Wentai is going to stick to the front line of Mianchi and Xin'an, blocking the footsteps of my Northern Xinjiang Army stationed in Luoyang?" Sun Jian smiled helplessly,
"General, please forgive the official for being rude. In order to make all prefectures and counties respect the imperial court as soon as possible and stabilize the society, this is the only way. Please forgive the general for the difficulties of the society and the suffering of the people in the world. Sun Jian then explained Zhu Jun's meaning in detail.
Zhu Jun has already sent a report document to Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Henan, Jing and other prefectures and counties as quickly as possible, saying that Luoyang has been conquered, Dong Zhuo has been defeated and retreated to Guanzhong, and the eldest princess and the imperial court are about to return to the capital.
Zhu Jun hoped that Li Hong would immediately ask the eldest princess and the Jinyang court to go south, and at the same time implore Li Hong to immediately withdraw all the northern Xinjiang troops stationed in Beijing.
"I have sent eight hundred miles of fast horsemen to ask the eldest princess and the imperial court to return to the capital immediately." Li Hong said,
"But on the matter of withdrawing troops stationed in Beijing, absolutely not." Sun Jian's face was embarrassed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
"There are some things that Wentai may not know yet." Li Hong picked up a few volumes of documents and handed them to Sun Jian,
"In March, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro led 300,000 troops down the mountain and headed straight for Yanzhou, and now they may have successfully crossed the river. With Yuan Shao's little people, he can't stop Bai Huan at all. At the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army launched an attack on Yanzhou East County, intending to approach the Yellow River and join the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army. Once the two Yellow Turban armies meet, Jizhou will definitely be invaded. In this case, Jizhou itself is difficult to protect, where does Jizhou Mu Hanfu still have food to supply my northern army to attack Chang'an? ”
"I won't go into Luoyang." Li Hong said,
"The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not enter Luoyang, but in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, I must station an appropriate number of troops in Luoyang. This is to ensure the smooth flow of northern Xinjiang and Jing and Henan, and to ensure that our northern Xinjiang army can continue to receive grain from Jing and Henan after losing the supply of food and salary from Jizhou. After reading those documents, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Asking for King Dong Qin is the top priority of my big man, and all the states and counties will definitely give full support, so why does the general have to garrison troops in Luoyang and cause unnecessary trouble?" Li Hong looked at Sun Jian and asked meaningfully: "Brother Wentai, you won't tell me that Yuan Shu is in Luoyang now, right?" Nowadays, there are a few people who want to please Dong, and how many people want to be Qinwang, don't you know? ”
"Anyone can say this to save the community and revitalize the community." Li Hong sneered,
"But after all, how many people actually did it? If Yuan Shao wanted to really please King Dong Qin, how could he let you be the first to enter Hangu Pass? Where is he now? Where is Yuan Shu? Sun Jian was speechless.
Remembering that Yuan Shu had cut off his food and grass last month and almost pushed himself into the abyss of defeat, he immediately understood Li Hong's worries.
The army is defeated, what social system will be saved? I have become food in the mouths of others. The way of the world has changed, and it has become more and more cruel and bloody, and there is less and less loyalty.
"Lord Zhu is loyal to the country and swears to King Qin, but has he thought about it, does the court also want King Qin? Do you want to be the king immediately? Li Hong slapped the table angrily,
"When I entered Beijing, all the states and counties were worried that I was Dong Zhuo's second, but what about them? Where were they when I was fighting bloodily? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu Dai, and Kong Ling, no matter what their purpose, they sent troops and food, and also raised the banner of fighting Dong, but what about other state and county officials? What are they doing? They have suffered the emperor's favor, why are they indifferent at this time, allowing the Son of Heaven to suffer, the society to be robbed, and the lives to be ruined? These people are the best of the Han Dynasty, and it is these indifferent and shameless state and county officials who betray the Son of Heaven and betray the Han Dynasty, these people are more hateful, more vicious, and more despicable than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu. These people should all be killed, and they are innocent. Sun Jian bowed his head and said nothing.
Li Hong's words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, making him feel the pain of his heart, and at the same time making him feel a deep existential crisis.
"If the situation has become so bad, I'm afraid this year's fight against Dong Qinwang will end here." Sun Jian sighed,
"Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have been fighting fiercely for more than a month in order to compete for Jingzhou." Li Hong was shocked when he heard this, he stared at Sun Jian and asked, "Then why did you fight all the way to Hangu Pass?" ”
"I promised Yuan Shu that after Luoyang was captured, I would go back to help him defeat Liu Biao." Sun Jian slowly stood up and said,
"Looks like it's time for me to go back too." Now the situation is obvious, Jizhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have occupied a decisive position in the fight against Dong Qinwang.
Whoever can occupy these three states will have money and grain, and will have the power to control the imperial court and the fate of the rise and fall of the society.
Now that King Dong Qin has come to an end, what are you still doing here? Waiting to die?
Sun Jian thought about it funny, should he curse Dong Zhuo now, or should he thank him for giving Yuzhou to him?
Li Hong will not deceive himself, he does not have any confidence in courting King Dong Qin now. On the contrary, he has a very hateful psychology towards Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the officials of various prefectures and counties, and has the intention of killing them quickly.
Li Hong's attitude is not the attitude of the eldest princess and the imperial court! If this is indeed the case, then I have to find a way out as soon as possible.
Sun Jian regretted that he hadn't listened to Yuan Shu's words. I knew that the situation was so bad, and it was so slim to ask King Dong Qin, so I shouldn't have gone north to attack Luoyang.
Now it seems that Dong Zhuo was not defeated by the three-way army, but he took the initiative to retreat. His purpose in giving up Luoyang is very simple, he wants to let his gang of people fight for power, money, and land in Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo is still as powerful as in the past, and he is getting more and more powerful. Zhu Jun tried his best to keep Sun Jian. Today's situation against King Dong Qin is very good, the hussar general is commanding the army of Northern Xinjiang to attack the fortified positions, the day of King Qin is just around the corner, how can you ignore the safety of the community and give up the great opportunity to make meritorious contributions?
Even if you have to leave, you have to wait until the eldest princess and the court return to Luoyang. Now you must block the way for me to enter Luoyang.
Sun Jian replied to Zhu Jun. Teacher, I have run out of food and must go back. Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were in the middle of a fierce battle, and he had already written several times, saying that the food and salary would be exhausted, urging me to go back and help him defeat Liu Biao.
Without food, the army would not be able to continue to fight against King Dong Qin. Now I am facing this problem, and the hussar general is also facing the same problem, what is he doing in Luoyang?
Tens of thousands of troops arrived in Luoyang, could they be vegetable eaters? The Gyeonggi area is now very desolate and desolate, and you can't see a single person for dozens of miles, and you can't find anyone looking for vegetables.
Please rest assured that he will not enter Beijing, otherwise his army will starve to death in Luoyang. I am going back, I will stabilize Jingzhou as soon as possible, and do my best to provide money and food support to Luoyang.
In late April, Sun Jian led his army to Yuyuan Pass. Xiang Cheng, the commander stationed at the pass, asked strangely, "Your Excellency wants to go to Yingchuan?" Sun Jian nodded.
Xiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My lord, the situation in Yingchuan is very complicated now, and it is very likely that there will be a war. Sun Jian asked in surprise, "How is this possible?" Hasn't Yuzhou always provided food and salary for your Northern Xinjiang Army? With your Northern Xinjiang Army here, what will happen to Yuzhou? Xiang Cheng scratched his head and said helplessly: "Lord Yuzhou Mu Kong Lingkong is sick and dead. Sun Jian felt a chill in his heart,
"When?"
"It's been about twenty days." Why didn't anyone tell me? Sun Jian was so angry that he almost opened his mouth to yell.
"Don't you know?" Xiang Cheng is even more strange,
"We told Lord Zhu about this news a long time ago, but Lord Zhu didn't tell you?" Sun Jian glared angrily, looked at Xiang Cheng and said word by word: "I am the general of the captivity, you should report quickly." Xiang Cheng scratched his head again, and said puzzledly: "The adult is the general of the broken captivity, and the grain and grass are supplied by the later general Yuan, which has nothing to do with Yuzhou." Sun Jian choked Xiang Cheng and was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time.
It's normal for others not to tell themselves that Yuzhou Mukong Ling is dead for various purposes, but why didn't the teacher say it?
Could it be that the teacher didn't even want the lives of his disciples in order to please King Dong Qin? Although the teacher didn't know that Dong Zhuo had sent a holy decree to himself, and he didn't know that he was already the assassin of Yuzhou, out of love for his disciples, this kind of major event should be said anyway.
Maybe the teacher was too busy to forget. Sun Jian shook his head, calmed down his emotions, and asked, "Tell me, what happened in Yuzhou?" Why war? Xiang Cheng immediately explained.
When Yuzhou Mu Kongling was seriously ill, many family members of Yingzhou, Confucian celebrities, and disciples came to visit him, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also sent people to visit him on behalf of individuals and Yuan valves.
After Kong Ling's death, both of them got the news as soon as possible. At this time, Yuan Shao was resisting the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Dongjun.
Hearing that Kong Ling died of illness, Yuan Shao immediately issued an order in the name of undertaking the system to worship his own relative, Zhou Ang, a famous man from Yangzhou Huiji County, to assassinate the history of Yuzhou, and let Han Hao and Hu Yi rush to Yuzhou with an army of 5,000.
These 5,000 troops were temporarily borrowed by him from Chenliu County, Jiyin County and other places, and if he could take the opportunity to take Yuzhou, the speed of his hegemony would be greatly accelerated.
After Yuan Shu got the news, he immediately sent someone to make peace with Liu, saying that Luoyang had been conquered and I wanted to go to Luoyang.
If I stand in Luoyang, I will return Nanyang to you. Liu Biao couldn't conquer it for a long time, it cost both troops and money, and it was when it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to Xiangyang.
Yuan Shu immediately sent Qiao Rui, who was stationed in Luyang, to rush to Yangzhai with 3,000 soldiers and horses, telling him to grab Yuzhou no matter what.
But it is obviously not appropriate to lead troops to rob like this, because Luoyang has been captured, and the eldest princess and the court are about to go south, whether they listen to the court or not, this face must be given, otherwise it will arouse public anger.
Yuan Shu hurriedly returned to Wancheng, wanting to deceive Liu He's blank holy decree. He thought that if Liu He didn't give it, he would kill him.
But Yuan Shu was dumbfounded when he arrived in Wancheng, he found that Gongsun Yue and Youzhou's two thousand iron horsemen had arrived, Liu He changed his previous low voice, and suddenly became bullish.
Yuan Shu was helpless, begging and threatening, and Liu He resolutely refused. Yuan Shu was angry, grabbed Liu He's shirt with both hands, pulled his neck and shouted, "If you don't give it, I will skin you today." Liu He understood his temper and knew that he was a scoundrel, so he was not afraid of him, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I just don't give it, you dare to peel my skin?" Yuan Shu was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Liu He didn't want to have a stiff with him, two thousand people, two thousand war horses, had to rely on Yuan Shu to pay for food, and if it was stiff, everyone would be hungry.
Liu He said, highway, what's the use of you grabbing it now? In the future, you will give up a holy decree from the court.
Yuan Shu Qidao, what do you kid know? In the future, the imperial court will either be controlled by the hussar general, or controlled by Yuan Shao, how can I listen to the imperial court?
Now I grab Yuzhou, no one will dare to rob me in the future, on the contrary, if Yuzhou is robbed by the hussar general or Yuan Shao now, I won't even be able to keep Nanyang in the future.
Because I still have Liu Biao's wolf behind me, can you bear to watch me wander around begging for food? Liu He thought about it, but this blank holy decree couldn't be given to Yuan Shu.
He said to Yuan Shu, this way, I will let these two thousand iron horsemen help you fight Yuzhou, isn't it just to fight Yuan Shao, and you can let them get out of the way after a few back and forth.
Yuan Shu was overjoyed, patted Liu He's shoulder and said, it's still you kid who is righteous. I think, you just bring this holy decree back to Youzhou, just say that it is the holy decree of Taifu Liu Yu today, haha...... Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are confident that they can occupy Yuzhou because Runan and Yingchuan are the foundation of Yuan Valve, but Yuzhou is not only the foundation of Yuan Valve, but also the foundation of Xu Valve.
Chen Guoxiang Xu Ling and his brother Xu Jing were not active in fighting Dong Luoyang, but they were very active in occupying Yuzhou.
On her deathbed, Kong Ling said to the officials of Yuzhou Mansion that after my death, the imperial court may not be able to send officials to succeed me in the short term.
In order to ensure the stability of Yuzhou, you can temporarily ask Chen Guoxiang Xu Ling to lead the state pastor. Xu Jue relied on these words to let Xu Jing lead Chen Guoxiang on his behalf, and he hurried to Yangzhai with 5,000 men and horses to preside over the affairs of Yuzhou.
During Kong Ling's serious illness, considering that he needed to rely on the contribution of the Northern Xinjiang Army to discuss Dong, he assigned Tian Chou to lead Yingchuan County on his behalf, and was responsible for handling all affairs in Yuzhou and raising grain and grass for the army.
After Yan Liang entered the customs, he was worried that Tian Chou was weak and weak, so he deliberately transferred the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou back to Yangzhai.
After receiving Tian Chou's urgency, he transferred 3,000 soldiers and horses to Tian Chou, so that Yang Zhai had 6,000 soldiers and horses.
Tian Chou has a heavy army in his hand and is bold. He sent someone to tell Xu Jue, don't come, Master Kong said on his deathbed that the affairs of Yuzhou will be handled by me for the time being.
After the eldest princess and the court return to Luoyang, I will leave Yuzhou, and you will come to lead Yuzhou again.
Xu Ling was angry at that time. You stinky little hairy child, how old are you? You don't even have hair on your mouth, so you dare to talk to me like this?
During the serious illness of Master Kong, you were asked to act as an agent for the affairs of Yuzhou, not because of your ability, but because of the power of the hussar general.
You're that green onion, huh?
"Call me ......" Xu Ling was furious, and led the army to kill under Yangcui City. Of course Tian Chou will not fight with him, Tian Chou's purpose is very simple, that is, to drag this matter until the eldest princess and the imperial court enter Beijing, and then the imperial court will send a trustworthy minister to be the pastor of Yuzhou.
If Yuzhou is occupied now, it will be difficult for the imperial court to control Yuzhou in the future. Inside Yangzhai City is now Tian Chou, outside the city is Chen Guoxiang Xu Ling, as well as Yuan Shu's subordinate Qiao Rui and Youzhou Gongsun Yue, who helped Yuan Shu to seize Yuzhou, and Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou assigned by Yuan Shao, is on the way and will arrive soon.
Now if Sun Jian goes again, it will be the five forces fighting for Yuzhou. Yuzhou not only has to fight, but it is still a battle that is getting bigger and bigger.
Xiang Cheng finally said: "If you want to go to Yuzhou to borrow money and grain, now is the time is not good, I am afraid that I will ......" Sun Jian sighed: "Everyone is raising troops to please King Dong Qin, and they all want to save Sheji, why do they want to kill each other?" Now that Dong Zhuo's defeat is imminent, King Qin is about to succeed, we don't work together, but we meet each other for our own selfishness, how can Sheji not die? He patted Xiang Cheng on the shoulder and said gratefully,
"Thank you. When you tell me this, do you want me to immediately lead my troops south to help you Lord Tian? Xiang Cheng's old face flushed, and he smirked a few times in embarrassment.
He did mean this, so he took the trouble to say a lot. In fact, if Xiang Cheng knew that Sun Jian was also here for Yuzhou, he would be afraid to kill him, and he would not have said it.
Sun Jian said with a smile: "The general has your loyal subordinates, why worry about the society and the world?" Okay, I'll go south to Yangzhai. ”
"Let's go, brothers, let's go, go home......" Beginning in mid-April, the Northern Xinjiang Army set up 20 stone throwers under Tongguan and threw stones at the pass every day.
The soldiers of the army camped under the pass and did not move, and did not start a battle to seize the pass. At the same time, the Northern Frontier Army in the direction of Pubanjin stopped the attack across the river.
Xu Rong led his troops to the banks of the Yellow River, while Lu Yi led his troops back to Linfen. At the end of April, Dong Zhuo wanted to test Li Hong's thoughts, so he assigned Guanglu Doctor Gai Xun to Tongguan with the holy decree, and scolded Li Hong under the pretense of the Son of Heaven, and then asked him to withdraw his troops back to Northern Xinjiang and honestly guard the border.
Li Hong received the holy decree, and then returned to the Son of Heaven, and the minister did not hesitate to break his bones to save the Son of Heaven. Back to Dong Zhuo, this time I have no way out, no matter what, I have to fight Guanzhong.
I would be grateful if you returned to Western Xinjiang as soon as possible. He sent people to send the song and the letter to Tongguan, leaving Gai Xun,
"The adults have lost a lot of weight, and their health looks very bad, so why don't you stay?" Gai Xun is much older, his sideburns are gray, and it is hard to imagine that a few years ago, he was still an old man with a black beard and strong spirits.
Gai Xun sighed: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, I'd better go back." My family is in Chang'an, and if I stay here alone, I will be even more uncomfortable. Now that the Han community has withered and decayed, and the home is in tatters, I am alive, in fact, there is no difference between the dead. Li Hong thought of the dead Fu Xie, looked at the sad Gai Xun in front of him, and thought of many brothers who died on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, and his heart couldn't help but twitch.
"My lord, stay, I must stay." Li Hong wrote another letter to Dong Zhuo. Master Gai is already old and in poor health, so I want to leave him in Northern Xinjiang to spend his old age in peace.
I implore you to think about the past when we lived and died together on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang, and think about the heroic spirit of killing the enemy side by side in the first battle of Lingwu Valley.
My lord is a hero, and if I am a hero, I will not let my robe suffer the pain of family ruin, and I would be grateful to me for sending my lord's family to northern Xinjiang.
Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, and immediately sent someone to send Gai Xun's family to Tongguan and gave him a heavy gift. Dong Zhuo replied to Li Hong, in the battle of Luoyang, I have three brothers who died at the hands of the Northern Xinjiang Army, this revenge will not be avenged, I will not die blindly, and I look forward to a decisive battle with you under the city of Chang'an.
After Li Hong received the letter, he immediately ordered Zhang Yan and Yang Feng to lead their troops across the river and return to Linfen.
Zhang Yan asked if it was too early to withdraw the troops at this time. Li Hong shook his head and sighed,
"People are not as good as heaven, Jizhou has changed." He handed Li Wei's letter to Zhang Yan and Yang Feng.
"According to our assumptions, after Han Fu and Yuan Shao infighting, one of them will definitely go. The other one, under the pressure of the Yellow Turban Army, will definitely ask us for help, so that we can enter Jizhou justifiably, who knows......"
"Gongsun Chan went south and entered Jizhou." Zhang Yan said in surprise,
"Han Fu has 20,000 to 30,000 troops in his hands, it stands to reason that he can completely kill Yuan Shao, why did he ask Lord Taifu for help instead? Could it be that his subordinates betrayed him and took refuge in Yuan Shao? ”
"Han Fu is really a wreck." Yang Feng said angrily,
"We gave him four counties, and he has food and an army, so it's really strange that he can't fight Yuan Shao with such a strong strength. Does this person seem honest? ”
"It's not that Han Fu is honest and loyal, but that Yuan Valve's power is too huge, far beyond our expectations." Li Hong shook his hand and said,
"We completely misestimated the situation in Jizhou."
"Our first problem now is that the army's food supply is in danger of being cut off at any time. Due to Han Fu's problem, the Jizhou army could not resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army may enter Jizhou ahead of schedule. As a result, the southern counties of Jizhou will soon be sacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and the displaced people will flock north. Because of this, Han Fu urgently asked Lord Taifu for help, and Gongsun Chan also led an army of 30,000 to the south this month. 10,000 of Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 troops are Youzhou iron cavalry, plus 20,000 foot soldiers, Jizhou supplies him more food and salary than us, that is to say, Han Fu will definitely not be able to support it for a few days. On the two sides, of course, he will cut off our food supply. Secondly, if Gongsun Chan goes south, we will have no excuse to enter Jizhou, which is the most serious problem. ”
"If Jizhou cuts off the food and salary given to us, we will not be able to solve the problem even if we partially withdraw our troops. Hongnong County must keep troops stationed here, and if you want to keep the army, you must have food. Zhang Yan asked,
"I don't know what the situation is in Yuzhou and Jingzhou? Can I buy food? ”
"It's even worse over there." Li Hong smiled bitterly,
"We have money, I heard Li Wei say, a lot has been minted recently, but the food is not necessarily, because there is a fight over there." Li Hong briefly talked about what happened in Jingzhou and Yuzhou,
"It is imperative to protect the north first. Your three armies are hurrying north. Qi Zhi (Yang Feng) immediately blocked all the passes into northern Xinjiang, and not a single homeless person was allowed to enter. This is a major matter related to the survival of northern Xinjiang, and you must not be rash. Yang Feng nodded solemnly.
"Feiyan, you immediately stationed in Changshan, let Yuntian (Koyi) immediately enter Handan, and snatch back the four Tuntian counties for me. Han Fu couldn't keep it, so we had to come by ourselves. ”
"General, if we have a conflict with the army in Youzhou......" Zhang Yan looked at Li Hong and asked,
"What are we going to do?"
"You are one, Yuntian is one, and perched one, don't you still understand this arrangement?" Li Hong said very dissatisfied,
"Master Taifu is too much, such a big matter, he even makes his own decisions without playing the court. There is also Gongsun Zhan, 30,000 troops went south to Jizhou, and he didn't even say hello. What's even more infuriating is Han Fu, he is in charge of the authority of the imperial court, he doesn't understand the rules at all, and he doesn't even go to the court to ask for help from Youzhou. In addition to themselves in their eyes, in addition to their own states and counties, where is the eldest princess? And the imperial court? And me, the hussar general? Li Hong slapped his palm on the desk and said murderously: "I only have one purpose, and that is to take Jizhou as soon as possible." As long as you take Jizhou, you can do whatever you want, don't worry too much. Something happened, we still have the eldest princess behind us, the imperial court, and the 100,000 army, what are you afraid of? "Jump to
