Chapter 0506: Before the Great War

PS: Thank you for the reward of the autumn breeze and snow and the years of the blood-colored stars, and it is the third watch, asking for all kinds of support!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

And Gongsun Zhan, as Liu Yu's former official and the commander of more than 100,000 troops, appeared in the field of vision of the imperial court at this time, so he became a threat.

Li Yi sent Liu Yu back to Youzhou at that time because he was worried that Gongsun Zhan would support the army and cause chaos. After Liu Yu returned, the court was worried that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan would support their own troops and establish themselves as emperors. As Yuan Shao drove away Han Fu to occupy Jizhou, the imperial court was worried that Yuan Shao would take advantage of the situation, and united with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Dai and other state and county officials to forcibly push Liu Yu to the throne.

In short, Liu Yu's existence is an obstacle to the revitalization of the community.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all knew in their hearts that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, like Yuan Shao and other state and county officials, would be eliminated sooner or later. But because of the special relationship between Li Yi and Taifu Liu Yu, no one wants to say it.

Now that Li Yi is in charge himself, this question is immediately placed in front of him.

If the imperial court wants to respect today's son and revitalize the Han Dynasty, it must first kill the rebels of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and the Dong Alliance. Whether it is a person who holds the Son of Heaven hostage, a person who threatens to depose the Son of Heaven and slander the Son of Heaven, or a person who threatens the throne of the Son of Heaven, it is a capital crime and must be killed, there is no room for discussion, and it is better to kill early than late.

Secondly, if the imperial court wants to take the land of Hebei as the foundation for revitalization, the stability of the land of Hebei is the top priority. As there are many hidden dangers in Qingzhou that may affect this stability, we must solve all of them in the early stage of Hebei's stability, so as to avoid raising tigers in the future and revitalizing the great cause of failure.

Now Gongsun Chan led the army south, showing his ambition to occupy Jizhou. Yuan Shao wanted to occupy Luoyang and consume the strength of Northern Xinjiang because of his hegemony, so he deliberately fell out with Gongsun Zhan, sent a request for help to the imperial court, and introduced the Northern Xinjiang Army into Jizhou.

Yuan Shao wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and Li Yi also wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and both of them aimed at Gongsun Zhan.

If Gongsun Chan doesn't go south, he will stay in Hejian Country with peace of mind. And Liu Yu also stayed in Qingzhou well, and even helped Li Yi occupy Jizhou, drive away Yuan Shao, and then support the army like various states and counties, forming a certain threat to the imperial court, and the imperial court and Li Yi really had nothing to do with them in a short time.

But now it is different, because Gongsun Chan went south and defeated the Yellow Turban Army attacking Jizhou, and Yuan Shao was pinned down by the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army in the southwest of Jizhou, the situation in the whole Hebei suddenly changed dramatically.

At this time, Li Yi immediately decided to do it immediately. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, fleeting and not to be hesitated.

Such a God-given opportunity, if it is missed, it will be damned.

Li Yi and Liu Yu have the love of the old master, and the brotherhood of Gongsun Zhan, but at this moment, in the face of the precarious Northern Xinjiang and Sheji, he can't take care of it.

As long as it is possible to endanger the security of the northern Xinjiang and the revitalization of the imperial court, they must be killed, and everything that may happen in connection with it must be resolutely eliminated in the expected and embryonic state.

This ruthless decision reminded Li Yi of the fact that the court and ministers in Luoyang wanted to kill him in the past. In the past, those ministers wanted to kill themselves because they might endanger the society in the future, but today why don't they treat others like those ministers in the past who were in the court?

Li Yi is absolutely very sad and helpless, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Li Yi also took into account that the officers and soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army might be very confused about the attack on Gongsun Zhan, so he specially sent Jia Xu south to Jizhou, first, to assist Li Jing in fighting this battle, and secondly, to explain clearly to the generals at the appropriate time.

The current situation is very different from last year and the year before, and many things can no longer be measured and handled according to common sense and law. All the actions of the army must be based on the premise of defending and revitalizing the community, and under this premise, whatever the army does and what conquest actions it takes, it is in accordance with the law.

Li Yi asked the generals not to have any scruples, let it go, in the future, you will all be the ministers of Zhongxing of my Han Dynasty, and you will all be famous for eternity.

Of course, these words are high-sounding official words, and in Li Yi's heart, what he thinks about is not what is revitalizing the society and rejuvenating the big man, but his own hegemony.

But for now, the two are not in conflict, and even under the banner of revitalizing Sheji and Zhongxing Dahan, they can better serve his future hegemony. After all, there are still big men in the hearts of many people, if Li Yi jumps out and says that I want to fight for myself, then I am afraid that he will become the target of public criticism in the next moment, or even betray his relatives.

is like Cao Cao in another time and space, he occupied almost all the area north of the Yangtze River, and mastered the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie, and even established his own small *court* court in Yecheng, but he still respected the Han family on the surface.

There are some things that can be thought and even done in the heart, but they must not be said.

However, the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu is not completely fake. A few years ago, Liu Yu did help him a lot, and he was very grateful for it. As for Gongsun Zhan, the two have been fighting side by side for the past seven years, and their relationship is even deeper. However, for the sake of his future hegemony, he had to kill the killer at this time.

Li Xin was born in a bitter cold, and although his official position has been promoted quickly in recent years, he has been in the army, and like many generals of the Yellow Turban Department, he knows little about other things except for faithfully carrying out the military orders of the Shangguan.

Jia Xu took the trouble to say a lot today, but for Li Xin, he couldn't understand what was behind these military affairs. He only had two impressions in his mind, one was that the Northern Xinjiang Army was going to fight on two battlefields at the same time, and the main purpose was to seize Jizhou, and the other was that he beat Gongsun Zhan not because he was guilty, but because he followed the wrong person and stayed in the wrong place, and he had to die if he didn't die.

Li Xin was secretly glad that he didn't follow the wrong person. Now whoever is in command of the Gongsun army, as long as it is not someone who is absolutely loyal to the lord, will die. What heavenly principles and laws, it's all bullshit, you are in my way, even if you are a brother, I will cut you down. Reason? I don't want any reason, I say you're a traitor, you're a traitor, I say I'm going to kill you, I don't want a reason. If you really want to talk about the reason, it is because my fist is bigger than you, the official is bigger than you, and the power is greater than you, and this is the reason.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked around, signaling that the generals had questions.

Li Xin scratched his head and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, after we finished beating Gongsun Zhan, should we turn around and beat Yuan Shao again?" ”

"If we can completely defeat Gongsun Chan around April, the army will attack Yuan Shao immediately." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "But this is too difficult, first, we are affected by the war situation in Kansai, and the situation in Kansai and Kanto will directly determine whether we can successfully occupy Jizhou." Second, the current situation is changing too fast, and in the past two years, every month has been the same, and the imperial court, like us, cannot accurately predict what will happen in the next month. Therefore, next year, our goal can only be to do everything possible to stabilize the land of Hebei, and take other things one step at a time. ”

The generals nodded thoughtfully.

Li Jing pointed to Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, and Xu Huang: "What questions do you three still have?" Is there any doubt about the decree of the imperial court? Can Gongsun Chan fight? ”

"As soon as Mr. Wenhe said this, we knew it in our hearts." Xian Yufu made amends with a big grin, "Take Jizhou, kill Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, this Hebei land is our territory." This battle is not only to be fought, but also worth dying. ”

Li Jing glared at Xian Yufu and said, "What do you call our territory?" This is Dahan Jiangshan and Dahanzhou County, what are you talking nonsense? ”

Xian Yuyin and Xu Huang also surrendered their hands to make amends. Xian Yuyin said with a smile: "Xiaguan closely follows the lord, and will never be the second grandson." ”

Xu Huang's face was expressionless, and he said a few words of respecting the Son of Heaven and the will of the imperial court, obeying the orders of the lord's army, and then stood silently to the side, with a heavy heart.

The social turmoil and the complexity of the situation have far exceeded the scope of his cognition, which makes him at a loss. I feel like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and I can't see the slightest prospect at all. There is still a day of revitalization for the community, and a day for the people to live in peace?

………………

On the east bank of the Mache River, the rebel general's camp.

Gongsun Zhan held Li Yi's letter in his hand and stood at the door of the big tent, looking at the gray sky, his heart was gloomy.

This letter was sent by Li Jing.

Li Yi first talked about the old friendship in the letter, but then Li Yi changed his words, half persuading and half threatening, and asked Gongsun Zhan to immediately lead the army back to Hejian Kingdom.

Of course, Gongsun Zhan was unwilling to turn his face with Li Yi at this time and start a war with the Northern Xinjiang Army. Although he was very urgent to take Jizhou, in the face of the powerful Li Yi and the Northern Xinjiang Army, he really did not have much certainty of victory. It's easy to say that if you win or evenly, once you lose, then there is nothing.

Therefore, even if Li Yi directly and indiscriminately seized Zhongshan Kingdom and Changshan Kingdom, the two newly occupied counties he occupied, Gongsun Chan also endured this breath. After all, those two counties, he did not occupy the justifiable, Li Yi took advantage of them with the orders of the imperial court, and he had nothing to say, so he had to suffer this dumb loss.

Behind him, Tian Kai, Gongsun Fan, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, Liu Bei and others were also arguing fiercely.

Tian Kai and Liu Bei unanimously opposed fighting the Northern Xinjiang Army. Behind the Northern Xinjiang Army is the eldest princess, the imperial court, and the hussar general, fighting against the Northern Xinjiang Army, just like fighting with the Northern Army of the imperial court, first fell into the passivity of righteousness.

In these years, whether it was on the battlefield of exterminating the Yellow Turban Army and quelling the rebellion, or on the battlefield of conquering the Saiwaihu people, or on the battlefield of fighting against Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, they had won many battles and never been defeated. Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Jiao, Liaodong rebels, Liaodong Hu people, Huns, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian...... These people were all defeated at the hands of the Northern Frontier Army. This battle cannot be fought. (To be continued.) )
