Chapter 44: Han Fu's Meritorious Service

Assassinating a powerful person is not an easy task, but if assassinating a person solves the problem, it is much easier to do it than to defeat an army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Yan Bei didn't know that Liaodong County was now facing a situation where everyone was facing enemies, but he also had a considerable sense of crisis in his heart about Liaodong County. These deep feelings of crisis came from the development of the situation in various parts of the Kanto region, and several princes withdrew their troops with evil intentions, and they would inevitably face more fierce annexation struggles in the future.

This was the source of Yanbei's unease, because Youzhou's geography limited his development.

If there was no Liu Yu on the top of his head, he could have passed through the state capital on the way back to Youzhou after capturing Luoyang and repairing the emperor's mausoleum...... Nowadays, there are countless people who claim to be generals, self-proclaimed Taishou, and self-proclaimed assassins, and there is no shortage of him who claims to be a state pastor.

His prestige and prestige are unrivaled in the North, and it's not a big deal.

But the problem lies in the fact that Youzhou Mu is Liu Yu, not to mention that Liu Gong is the only emperor in Kwantung who can have a prestige and identity to establish himself, Liu Yu is still his lord and benefactor.

And aside from Youzhou, he has no better choice, it is unattainable to fight Chang'an to occupy the court, Luoyang in Guanzhong has become a ruin, there are especially many princes in Yanzhou, Jizhou is the territory of the alliance Han Fu, not to mention that there is such a tricky guy as Yuan Shao.

In this situation, how can he maintain his advantage in the coming era of secession?

Liaodong County alone can no longer meet his needs.

He needs more land, more people, more ...... All.

If he can't touch Liu Yu's prestige, where else can he stretch out? In this case, the answer is already in the picture.

Liaoxi County, Xuansu County, Lelang County, Goguryeo, Wuhuan Subject, Saiwai Xianbei, Buyeo State, and Sanhan.

Among them, the Wuhuan vassal state was the most honest, and every time he went out to fight, he could provide him with two or three thousand soldiers. Although this number is very small compared to the huge number of Wuhuan people, at least it is a good situation; The Suli tribe of the Xianbei people has expanded a lot with the support of Yanbei in the past two years, and has also gained the upper hand in several battles between various tribes outside the Saiwai, and there are trades in wool, leather, livestock, horses and handicrafts such as iron, copper, and wood.

But in addition to these two, planning Liaoxi County will touch the fundamental interests of Gongsun Zhan. Now although Gongsun Chan has moved towards the Central Plains, and his power has touched the three prefectures of Qing, Yan and Hebei, his foundation is still in Liaoxi, Yuyang and other places.

Goguryeo and Buyeo are currently behemoths for Yanbei, and it is still possible to rely on the art of checks and balances to grab some of their own benefits from them, but if they show their own thoughts, they will inevitably be counterattacked by the Dongyi powers, which is beyond the current relatively weak Liaodong County; Although Sanhan is slightly weaker than the other two countries, it is too far away from Liaodong County, and it is separated by Lelang County in the middle, so no matter what you want to do, it will be hindered in the process of implementation.

The only thing he could consider was Gongsun Du's Xuansu County and Zhang Qi's Lelang County.

Yuan Shao sent Zhang Qi to persuade Liu Yu, which was a great favor to Yanbei, otherwise he really didn't know what kind of reason to attack Zhang Qi...... If Zhang Qi doesn't do this kind of thing, if he wants to attack Lelang County, the first thing he has to pass is Liu Yu's pass, followed by the obstruction of Fu Zhu and others, plus the loss of prestige.

This is all difficult for Yanbei to bear.

But now there is no need for these worries at all, and it is not an exaggeration to do anything to a thief who intends to set up another emperor, let alone take him into custody. This will make those who are slightly more radical in the world praise each other!

There is no warning in the revolving gate pass in the New Year's Pass, and Yanbei, who patrols the pass, often supports the battlements and looks into the distance, and his thoughts will drift away with his eyes in the snowstorm. After the unreachable wind and snow, is Chang'an City, thousands of miles away, as peaceful and peaceful as the revolving gate? Yanbei didn't know, but he expected that there would be no peace there.

Going south to ask Dong to participate in this huge war, in addition to the prestige and prestige, the biggest gain for Yanbei is experience. The experience of political games, the experience of killing in battle formations, and of course, the experience of controlling allies to expand their advantage, and more worries brought him experience.

Worrying about things from time to time is useful, and although it can be unnerving, Yanbei's way of thinking about problems has become more comprehensive.

Expeditions for thousands of miles to fight abroad, logistics, grain routes, forces of all parties, and the situation in Liaodong, where the foundation is located, he has to be in place by himself, which greatly improves Yanbei's personal ability.

The howling wind and snow lasted for more than ten years, and when the heavy snow stopped, it was already the second year of the first peace, Yanbei spent a New Year with his soldiers in the revolving gate pass, and Lu Zhi, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others. After another month, the news that Gongsun Chan was approaching the revolving gate pass had been passed from the sour jujube side, and for the sake of insurance, Yanbei was not willing to meet with Gongsun Chan at the revolving gate pass.

South of the Yellow River, if you want to enter Luoyang, there is only one entrance. But whether it is Yanbei or Gongsun Zhan, who of the two of them can withstand the mutual distrust of the other party's troops and horses stationed in Guankoutun?

In order to avoid this trouble, Yanbei sent someone to guide Gongsun Zhan and asked him to move through Hanoi County to Wen County north of Luoyang, and agreed to connect Sun Jian on February 2 and march to Luoyang freely.

Gongsun Chan agreed, or of course Gongsun Chan agreed. This is not only their route forward, but if nothing else, the route of future retreat.

There are good and bad routes like this, and the good thing is that Yanbei is naturally able to avoid conflicts with Gongsun Zan on the way to Luoyang. After all, Gongsun Chan is new, even if he accepts the invitation, the hostility between the two parties is still self-evident...... This situation may not change until he actually fights Dong Zhuojun and has a common enemy.

The day of the expedition has been set, and the people of Henan Yin and Dongjun, Chenliu and other places have also transported the siege ordnance and baggage to the revolving gate pass as promised, which can be said to be all ready. But before that, Yanbei needs to do one more thing. At this time, it is related to the time when the three-sided attack arrives in Luoyang, and he cannot be sloppy.

This is the bad thing of attacking from three sides, and Lu Fengxian, the flying general of Bingzhou, is still stationed in Yanshi City, waiting to fight Yanbei.

"Brother Yun, Yide, are you two willing to participate in the next battle as my subordinate Sima?"

Yanbei picked an opportunity to visit Lu Zhi, and at the same time hoped that Lu Zhi would be the general who guarded the revolving gate pass and choked most of his soldiers and horses to retreat until the three of them arrived in Luoyang and then took Lao Shangshu to Luoyang, and then started the idea of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The next most likely enemy to fight is the flying general Lu Bu, who is known for his bravery, and Yanbei is reluctant to support him. Lü Bu and his subordinate generals defeated Bao Xin's soldiers and horses with a small number of cavalry and slashed Weizi, their usual tactics showed that this was a group of brave generals from Bingzhou, and Yan Bei did not know their specific bravery and the quality of the soldiers under his command before they fought.

This is a good time for him to use the power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although his subordinates now have Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Gao Ran and other brave generals, but they are his own close subordinates, and he is unwilling to put his warriors into the crisis situation of fighting generals until he has to...... This is especially true when the enemy generals are also brave warriors.

And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are different, this is a good opportunity to restrain the two of them with their official positions, even if they go to Liu Bei in the future, contributing to him at this time can be regarded as making the best use of their talents without regrets. What's more, if Lu Bu is really brave, he may not be able to fight the two of them.

He had seen Guan Yu's bravery with his own eyes, and he didn't think that anyone in the world could kill him in a short time.

What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the two of them lose in the battle with Lu Bu...... is not Yanbei's cronies, although he will feel regretful, he will not feel much distress.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know the dark thoughts in Yan Bei's heart, Guan Yu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Since you have left Youzhou, you are the general's subordinates, please give the general an order." ”

As for Zhang Fei, he was even more impatient, he had been waiting for the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and immediately said: "I always heard the words of the generals in the Guannei say how powerful Lu Fengxian is, and he has long wanted to try his skills, and the general must make the two of us the vanguard and kill Lu Bu!" ”

They had no reason to refuse, after all, even Liu Bei was still a subordinate of Yanbei in name, not to mention the generals in the two of their other departments. Whether it is guarding the grain road or trapping the vanguard, it is an unshirkable thing.

"Courage is commendable!" When Yanbei heard that the two of them had received their official positions, he immediately felt overjoyed and greeted Congdao: "Come here, take the armor soldiers!" ”

In a short time, several samurai presented two sets of armor and weapons. Of course, these armors and weapons naturally cannot be compared with the five-color pattern armor and long lance in the Liaodong arsenal, they are just two sets of better school captains with armor and refined ring knives and iron spears. However, these ordinary armor were enough to make the two of them happy.

They were only two generals under Liu Bei, and their weapons and armor were no more than the ordinary attire of junior officers, so how could they be compared with this set of armor given by Yan Bei? The two immediately hugged their fists and thanked Yan Bei.

Yan Bei waved his hand and said: "You don't have to thank me, weapons and armor should have a master worthy of them, this is what you deserve." However, Yan Mou also said first, although the two of you are the vanguard after sending troops, don't fall in love with war, if you can try out Lu Bu's hypocrisy, it's best, if you don't have a chance, wait for Yan's army to support, and defeat him directly, and take care of your personal safety in everything. ”

"No!"

The pioneer candidate was agreed, and Yanbei was no longer impatient, quietly waiting for a good day to send troops...... However, Han Fu, who was far away in Yecheng, made a meritorious service, but this meritorious service made Yanbei unable to be happy.

Just three days before the troops, Han Fu sent a fast horse from Yecheng all the way to the Revolving Gate Pass, bringing an intercepted secret letter.

The letter prominently wrote the good news that Gongsun Yue had reported to Gongsun Zhan, and the content of the good news was related to him.

Xuansu Taishou Gongsun Du united with Gongsun Yue of Liaoxi, Wang Song of Yuyang, and Yi Yinmo, the prince of Goguryeo, and wanted to join forces to attack Liaodong County in April.
