Chapter 7: The Hidden Alliance

Slaughter three animals to sacrifice to the emperor of heaven, worship the temple to be protected by the ancestors...... In fact, these Yanbei don't believe it, and the reason why they have to do it is just to cheer for the more than 10,000 people who were selected. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the main forces of the battle, Gao Ran led 2,500 Yan Zhao warriors as the most elite soldiers under his command; Jiang Jin and Li Damu led the selection of 200 officers and warriors and 300 personal guards from the Duliao camp and Yuyang camp as the guards and horses for the southward journey; The original Zhangjaw Department was led by Zhao Yun, and Jiao Touchled Changshan Xiangyong and Zhongshan Dead Soldiers, collectively known as the Left and Right Divisions;

In addition, the 500 Wenxian soldiers personally trained by Sun Qingling and the 2,000 horsemen of Su Muyan, the king of the cliff, served as scouts and light cavalry.

There is also Liu Xuande's other department, which was forcibly recruited by Yin Xin, the general of Duliao, who supervised the military affairs of the two states of Youji, and was ordered to lead 1,500 soldiers and horses to escort the chariot of his teacher Lu Zhi along the way.

The banner was displayed, but after a break in March, the Liaodong warriors went south again, this time directly to the Central Plains!

Yanbei's first destination was not Liyang, but first went to the Jizhou Pastoral Mansion to meet with the Jizhou Mu Hanfu, who was still in the army. Because on the way south, he heard that Jizhou Mu Hanfu did not make an alliance with the princes of all walks of life, but led the newly recruited soldiers by the chief Shi Geng Wudu in the river...... The heart of Yuan Shao is clearly revealed.

Yan Bei laughed dumbly when he heard such news on the road, although this Korean festival came out of the imperial court, but the pattern was much inferior to Yuan Benchu. Whether he is an enemy or a friend with Yuan Shao is not yet clear, Han Fu has already shown the hostility in his heart completely, how can such an act be a big thing?

But Yan Bei didn't plan to tell Han Fu these words, let him have a long heart.

However, Han Fu is still a little good in the end, he is full of jealousy of Yuan Shao in his heart, but he is extremely accepting of Yanbei. Not to mention that the Koji Yi Department, which has been stationed under his Yecheng for more than three months, has always been the hospitality of slaughtering pigs on three days and killing sheep on five days. Even Yanbei sent thousands of troops out of Youzhou, and Han Fu, who was far away in Yecheng, Wei County, sent Min Chun to meet him as soon as he knew about it, and arrived at Yecheng all the way unimpeded.

Although this action can prove Han Fu's respect for General Yanbei of Duliao in his heart, on the other hand, Han Fu really needs Yanbei now, and he needs it incomparably.

He needed an outsider to give him ideas.

Han Fu is sensitive and complex, that is, aggressive and cowardly, and has a heavy fear of others. This can be seen from his defense of Yuan Benchu, but he has no fear of Yanbei...... Because he didn't put Yanbei and him together in his heart.

The reason for this is, first of all, Yanbei's low background and high status, which is just the opposite of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, who are now high in birth and low status, Han Fu does not feel that he is weaker than Yuan Shao in his heart, but the difference is not far away. After all, now Yuan Shao is the Taishou of Bohai County, and he is the pastor of Jizhou.

But what about Yanbei? That person is a border general, not to mention daring. Whether it is a rebellion or a thief, Yanbei is famous in the Erzhang Rebellion, and the name spread from the northeast border to Luoyang, the imperial court...... What was Han Fu doing at that time? He's still a servant in the Imperial Tower!

They themselves are too far apart, when he Jizhou finally recruited more than 10,000 new soldiers, at the beginning of the self-protection power, it was too late to be complacent, Yanbei has already sent 10,000 strong soldiers south, but the Jizhou headquarters is not even comparable to Yanbei's partial division of the Yiyi Department.

Han Wenjie did not have the heart to compete with Yanbei at all, on the contrary, he felt great gratitude for Yanbei's kindness.

Yan Bei Dan has a little bad intentions, just Lu Yi can take advantage of his fragility to take the foundation, but General Yan didn't! That's kindness!

Of course, this kind of goodwill also needs to be foiled. For example, his subordinate Bohai County didn't listen to him at all, and for example, the lieutenant of the school never gave him a good look...... Compared to the two, is General Yan goodwill?

That's called Corporal Folding!

Don't mention Han Fu's gratitude in his heart!

Today's Jizhou from Youzhou to Yecheng can be described as a flat river, although the counties and counties have recruited county soldiers, but it is only a city of three or five hundred people, and there are few soldiers and horses along the line. After receiving the news that Yanbei ordered his garrison in Liyang, he said goodbye to Han Fu on the same day, and escorted the new group of Hu cavalry and 7,000 soldiers and horses from the school captain's headquarters to the Liyang camp.

With three lieutenant departments in hand, the number of troops under the command of Lu Yi suddenly increased to 10,000, and the Liyang battalion could not station so many soldiers and horses, so it had to open up the camp again. For a time, the three captains' camps formed horns with each other, guarding the city of Liyang, and they were also very powerful.

Although more than half of the more than 10,000 soldiers are new soldiers.

The movement of the army was extremely procrastinating, that is, in Jizhou, where there were no internal and external troubles, Yan Bei dared to divide the cavalry, and he would take the 1,500 troops of the Yan Zhao warriors to Ye first, waiting for the foot soldiers and heavy chariots and horses to move forward slowly.

If you change places, who would dare to march like this?

led a small number of cavalry all the way first, and when he arrived in Yecheng, it was only the beginning of late February, and for the arrival of Yanbei, Han Fu put on the specifications of entertaining distinguished guests...... You must know that there are not many people on the current Jizhou pastoral seat who can be called distinguished guests.

"Han Envoy-kun has been doing well lately." As soon as he entered the city, although Yan Bei wore a helmet and armor, he also smiled and bowed to Han Fu, and there was no arrogance on his face, but he said to Han Fu with apologies: "Alas, I heard that my subordinates are righteous and have a bad temper, and they are often disrespectful to the envoy...... Please don't be surprised, and I'll teach him a good lesson when I go back! ”

"Haha, what did General Yan say, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this, please take a seat." Han Fu was still the same as the bitter old brother he had three months ago, and he was on the side to lead Yan Bei into the side hall of the mansion, so he withdrew from all the people and engaged in it, and asked Yan Bei to sit down and whispered: "It's good that the general can come to see me, I really don't know how to be good now!" ”

Yanbei took a look, this is really a seat, the main seat on the top of the side hall has been removed, and there are only two cases in the huge side hall, one east and one west, which are decorated with several snacks and some winter dates in season, after all, this fruit can be eaten in the north in the beginning of spring, but in addition to the winter dates, those snacks are all exquisite, teaching people to have an appetite.

"Oh?" Yan Bei knelt on the couch upright, and asked with a look of heart-to-heartedness: "What problems have you encountered again?" I can talk about it below, maybe it can help a thing or two. ”

Han Fu has never been able to hide something in his heart, at this time, his face was bitter like an old farmer who had eaten a yellow lotus, he glanced at Yan Bei with envy, and said with a long sigh: "The general's armor is really exquisite, and the soldiers are also high-spirited...... Alas, but my Jizhou is a mess! ”

Of course, Yanbei's armor is exquisite, otherwise it wouldn't make him fall in love. Yan Bei smiled and asked Han Fu: "What's wrong with the envoy, isn't Jizhou still recruiting soldiers, or is the grain and grass received last year insufficient?" ”

"The general should not call me an envoy, the general has helped me many times, so he can call me a gentleman." Han Fu thought about it, he also felt that Yanbei could help him uncover the doubts in his heart, so he said to Yanbei: "What makes me feel blocked in my heart is the transmission of the Kwantung Alliance this time, do you think I should help the Yuan family or help the Dong family?" ”

Before Yanbei could speak, Han Fu complained vigorously and said: "Although the fields in Jizhou have delayed farming in the past year, they are all the affairs of the households, the taxes of the state capital remain unchanged, and there is a lot of grain. As for the soldiers, there are many homeless people, but more than 10,000 soldiers have been recruited in March, and it doesn't matter. In addition, there are craftsmen and iron divisions in the territory, so you don't have to worry too much. To be honest, the lower clan also has a little reputation in Yingchuan, and at present, many Yingchuan scholars have been recruited in the state, but they are full of good talents. ”

"Then why is Brother Wenjie worried?"

"Although they are close to my Han clan, they are not far from the Yuan clan! A few days ago, the Kwantung princes sent a message asking me if I could raise troops to help. Our state has been promoted to the court, and all the people in the hall have persuaded me to help the Yuan family, and there is even Liu Zihui who actually said that there is no Yuan family Dong family to help the country's righteousness...... This is even a fool can see clearly, no matter who defeats whom, the matter of controlling the court will not change! Han Fu spread his hands, and said with a more bitter face: "But what about me, I don't have the general's military strategy, where can I dare to wade into this troubled water, and when the time comes, I will die in failure...... I don't want to be an enemy of the Dong family, nor do I want to grudge the Yuan family! ”

"That's right! The general drove his troops south, but did not say whether he was at the invitation of the imperial court or whether he was taking the preapost. Han Fu asked with a flattering look on his face, "Can you tell Zai Xia what the general is doing in the south?" Dong, Yuan? ”

Scholars are a very respectable group. However, if there are more and more opportunistic people today, and there are fewer and fewer people with great righteousness, in Yanbei's view, maybe when this dispute is settled...... There are even fewer people in the world who can be called virtuous scholars.

And he and Han Fu are actually just the epitome of people in this world except for scholars. He is an opportunist, and Han Fu is a mediocre person.

"I'm going to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but I don't think they can succeed with the Kwantung princes." Yan Bei took a deep breath, when did he feel at ease with the Kwantung princes in his heart, it was just a group of mediocre people, but they were still above the top, "In Yan's opinion, they are not as good as Brother Wenjie, which is also the reason why I went south to enter Yecheng first...... I hope that Brother Wenjie can go south with me to discuss Dong. ”

Han Fu frowned, and didn't understand what Yan Bei meant for a while. He went to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but he had nothing to do with the Kwantung princes...... Han Fu asked, "This, general, what does this mean?" ”

"Although the Kwantung princes have a lot of soldiers and horses, I am not at ease with them, so I think you and I will form an alliance and be flanks in the Dong Alliance, so we can take care of each other."

This time, Han Fu understood, and looked at Yanbei speechlessly, as if Yanbei's alliance had increased his great confidence, and he took a deep breath and hammered the case a few times: "It's okay, then today you and I will form an alliance, sour jujube alliance, and I will go to the Han Wen Festival!" ”
