So what does Dong Zhuo mean?

The princess originally came to Northern Xinjiang with the edict of the first emperor and the banner of King Qin's elimination of traitors, and it was impossible for Dong Zhuo not to know. Now that the princess is powerful, and there are seven old ministers to assist, she has to attack Chang'an as her first goal. Dong Zhuo wouldn't be so confused as to let the seven old ministers help him persuade the princess to give up King Qin, and instead ask Li Yi to attack Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turban Army, right?

Since Dong Zhuo would not be so confused and naïve, it would be impossible for him to come up with such an idea. And according to Dong Zhuo's familiarity with political affairs, it is impossible for him to come up with such an idea, and this policy to restrain Li Yi must have been thought up by the ministers of the court.

Since this idea was conceived by the ministers of the DPRK and China, the intention of the idea is not to be asked. Of course, he asked Li Yi to quickly Qin Wang, or he wanted to use the prestige of the eldest princess and the old ministers to influence and control Li Yi, so as to prevent him from becoming a Han rebel like Yuan Shao, so that King Qin's elimination of traitors and the revitalization of Sheji became an unattainable thing.

Judging from the current situation, the most ideal way is to use Li Yi's force to suppress Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, the Yellow Turban Army and other traitors, stabilize the society within a few years, and then try to revitalize it.

In other words, the ministers of the DPRK and China still put the hope of reviving the society on Li Yi.

Li Yi has just returned from an expedition to the desert, whether it is meritorious or prestige, no one in the world can match. And so far, he has not done much evil except for the disadvantage of King Qin.

Li Yi is not like Dong Zhuo, first made a series of defeats to cause turmoil in the country, and then raised a butcher's knife to kill, and finally went crazy to move the capital, he would rather die with the society than give up the power in his hands. Now this man has become a complete traitor, and there is no cure but to kill.

Yuan Shao even made the ministers of the DPRK and China dumbfounded, beating their chests. Why did Yuan Kui, who is a genius in the sky, choose such a person to take on the important task? Yuan Shao did not recognize the Son of Heaven and went toe-to-toe with Li Yi. That's it. Who knew that he later killed the minister and openly broke with the court. Yuan Shaozhi's intentions have been revealed. With his strength, he is simply unable to defeat Dong Zhuo, let alone defeat Luoyang and Chang'an, he just wants to push the Han Sheji into the abyss of overturning, a complete Han rebellion.

Yuan Shu is not very useful. Swaying from side to side, he has neither the determination nor the courage to be a rebel, just looking around, and he doesn't know what he wants to do? A useless bastard. In this case, the ministers of Chang'an had only one and only choice.

Dong Zhuo is not stupid, of course he can see the intentions of the ministers of the DPRK and China, so why does he still have to obey his words? If Li Yi is loyal to the Son of Heaven, he will be forced to lead his troops to the king. Luoyang and Chang'an are in danger. Is he really confused and wants to be killed?

Everyone was meditating, but they didn't figure it out.

Xu Shu explained his doubts to Li Yi in detail, but it was difficult for him to understand Dong Zhuo's intentions.

Li Yi said with a smile: "If you can't figure it out, forget it." The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what are you afraid of? There is still a month before the autumn harvest, tell the northern Xinjiang provinces to make preparations. Other than that. Send someone to contact Yuan Shu and Han Fu to buy grain as soon as possible. The more the merrier, no matter how high the price of food, buy it back. ”

………………

It has been almost two years since Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou.

In October 188 (the fifth year of Zhongping), the Yellow Turbans of Qing and Xu Prefecture rose again and attacked the counties. The imperial court took Tao Qian as the assassin of Xuzhou. Suppression of the Yellow Turbans.

As soon as Tao Qian arrived in Xuzhou, he appointed Zang Ba, a Taishan man who died in the East China Sea, and his fellow villager Sun Guan as generals. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated in the first battle, and the remaining Yellow Turban Army was forced to flee from Xuzhou. After the yellow scarf was broken, Tao Qian worshiped Zang Ba and Sun Guan as the captain of the cavalry, and ordered him to govern Kaiyang in Langyu County and garrison the north of Xuzhou. So far. The activities of the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou were somewhat suppressed.

However, at the beginning of this year, with the growth and rampant growth of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the neighboring Xuzhou was also affected by the pond fish, and the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army in various places made Xuzhou completely in a state of chaos.

As of August, there are five counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, and the northernmost Langya is in a semi-autonomous state, and the Taishan thieves with Zang Ba are nominally subordinate to Xuzhou, but in fact they do not listen to the announcement; Donghai and Xiapi are currently in the hands of Tao Qian; Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu is a famous man in Xuzhou, and he is a great power that Tao Qian took great pains to invite after he took office, although the position is under Tao Qian, but the attitude is not so polite, it can be regarded as an equal. As for Peng Chengguo, the westernmost state, it basically fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Li Yi went south to Xuzhou this time to completely calm the chaotic state in Xuzhou. Therefore, Li Yi will not allow the existence of a nominally court minister like Zang Ba, who is actually a thief.

Before going south, Li Yi sent a message to Zang Ba and other Taishan thieves, asking them to surrender unconditionally and wait for reorganization.

In this regard, Zang Ba and others, who are accustomed to being the emperor of the soil, naturally cannot easily comply, not to mention that there are people with ill intentions behind the scenes.

Just when Li Yi led the army from the southern foot of Mengshan Mountain along Wushui to the south, a large army suddenly jumped out of the continuous Mengshan Mountain Range, and quickly crossed the Zhushui, like a giant sword, swinging towards the narrow corridor in the middle of Taishan County, as if the corridor was about to be cut into two sections.

Marching in the mountains, the gap between the ranks is usually relatively large, looking at each other from a distance, and the momentum of an army of 30,000 is almost not under 100,000 lions. Considering the incomparably swift marching speed of this army that treats the mountains as nothing, how can those who are enemies not shudder and feel apprehensive?

In the direction of this army, there is a lonely city, and the words "Liangfu City" on the city gate can be seen in the distance. There were no flags on the city, and the gates were not closed, but they were wide open as if they were welcome. It is clear that the resisters have lost their courage or have given up resistance for other reasons, and this army has nothing but peace in front of it.

"Mr. Zhicai, do you really want to fight Fenggao? As for the thousands of men and horses of Ding Yuan's old boy, we only need to divide a few thousand soldiers, and we can get them at our fingertips. Looking at the majestic army, Zang Bazhi was complacent, but also a little unhappy.

Originally, when he received Li Yi's ultimatum of unconditional surrender, Zang Ba was panicked and helpless. Li Yi is too powerful, and no one who has fought with him over the years can survive. However, to make him give up the authority and army in his hands, Zang Ba was unwilling.

At this time, a person quietly came to Zang Ba's army and asked to meet him. Helpless, Zang Ba decided to see the right thing. This person was the strategist of Cao Cao, the newly appointed minister of Pei Guo.

Zang Ba is very glad that he made this decision, because Xi Zhicai proposed a good plan to solve his current predicament, which can not only solve his current predicament, but even create a new situation.

Xi Zhicai said that Li Yi is now leading the northern army south to Xuzhou, and Taishan County is only garrisoned by a few thousand men and horses from Ding Yuan, which is very empty, and you only need to lead the army to sneak north from the northern foot of Mengshan Mountain and raid Liangfu City, you can cut off Li Yi's back road and let him fall into a dilemma and be isolated and helpless.

In this case, Li Yi either chose to return to Mount Tai or continue south to Xuzhou. But no matter what choice he makes, you can take this opportunity to jump out of the original predicament. If Li Yi chooses to return to Taishan, the general can return to Langya through Mu County, Li Yi's army has limited food, and it is difficult for him to organize the operation to go south again; If Li Yi chooses to continue to attack Langya, the general can take advantage of the situation to occupy Taishan County, and then further plot against Qingzhou.

Zang Ba thinks that Xi Zhicai's strategy is very good, and they all say that trees move the dead and people move alive, which is exactly the truth.

In order to successfully complete the plan, Zang Ba adopted a silent treatment of Li Yi, he led the army to sneak into Mount Tai, but on the other hand, he let his old and weak remain in Langya State, under his own banner, confusing Li Yi and making him think that he was still in Langya Country.

Now, the plan is being implemented smoothly, Li Yi is still in the Fei country area of Taishan County, and he has seized Liang Fu and taken the lead in this battle.

Dominating Taishan County and Qingzhou is Zang Ba's highest ideal for many years, the first ideal is within reach, but it cannot be realized immediately, his heart is itchy, somewhat depressed.

Despite this, Zang Ba did not mean to go against the strategy set by Xi Zhicai. It's not that the other party has any power to suppress him, even if it is his lord Cao Mengde, Zang Ba is also an equal. This time the troops were sent more for his ambitions. Instead of purely helping Cao Cao to take advantage of the fire.

According to his plan, he should have gone north along Yishui, attacked Beihai, and then attacked all the way to Linzi.

But after Xi Zhicai's analysis, he found that when attacking Beihai, he spent most of his time marching on his own territory along the way, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and gave the enemy sufficient time to prepare.

That's right, Li Yi's kid didn't take Taishan very seriously, and he didn't care if he lost him. However, as soon as Mount Tai was lost, it had already dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou. The victory along the way will make those places where the wind makes the rudder see the direction of the wind clearly, join their own team, and the power will grow like a snowball.

Even if Li Yi returns to Taishan immediately, he will not be able to return to heaven. If you want to recapture Tarzan again, just wait to play hide and seek in the mountains and forests with the bandits. As long as they don't make stupid mistakes and fight head-on with the Northern Frontier Army, how can they be strong no matter how strong they are? Between the mountains and forests, he is the king, and the famous hussar general and his northern army are only the ones who lose their troops in front of them!

For the combat effectiveness of himself and his army in the mountains and forests, Zang Ba has full confidence.

If everything goes well and you can attack Linzi and occupy Qingzhou, it will be even more perfect. (To be continued.) )
