In Hedong, the Western Liang Army retreated to Henan in an all-round way, except for leaving Zhang Ji to defend the Dayang area. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Luoyang area, the large armies withdrew in turn, and the princes were frightened enough by the return rifles of the Xiliang army, and they all sat quietly and waited for the Xiliang army to withdraw.

Sun Jian, the titular Yuzhou assassin and the general of the captives, took advantage of the victory to pursue, took the lead in breaking through the Yique Pass, and hurriedly marched towards Luoyang, and when Sun Jian broke through Luoyang, it was already the spring of the second year of the first peace.

After a year of struggle, Dong Zhuo finally gave up the burden of Luoyang, but the Luoyang area has been burned down, ten rooms and ten emptiness, and thousands of miles of people are uninhabited.

Sun Jian just took down a dilapidated empty city, but he did really get the jade seal of the country, but he didn't know that it was deliberately left to him by Liu Bei, and he was afraid that he would not find it to mark him, and even the people who found the jade seal of the country were Liu Bei's meticulous works.

Sun Jian got the jade seal of the country and immediately prepared to leave Luoyang and return to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao received the news that Sun Jian had found the jade seal of the country, and immediately sent Zhou Ang to assassinate the new Yuzhou history, and Zhou Ang led his troops to attack Yangcheng.

The Yuan family was already in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao won the favor of the scholars, Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen Guoshi came to see Zhou Ang.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were already in trouble because of the establishment of Liu Yu as the emperor, but now Yuan Shu saw that Yuan Shao had seized his own territory, and he was furious and sent troops to help Sun Jian attack Yangcheng.

The most powerful Shuang Yuan turned against each other, the world changed instantly, the princes stood in line, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu formed an alliance, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Liu Biao, Han Fu, etc. formed an alliance, both Yuan were deeply skilled in the art of war, and they also won over other princes.

Liu Bei, the most powerful prince in addition to the Western Liang Army, was also among the two, Yuan Shu relied on his good relationship with Liu Bei, and threatened the world: he wanted Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan to share the world equally, he got Henan, Gongsun Zhan got Hebei, and Liu Bei got Guanzhong.

Yuan Shao and the others were terrified, so they sent people to Xianbei to contact the Xianbei cavalry.

This is all a political situation, but in fact, Liu Dai killed him in the name of Qiaomao's failure to provide grain and grass, and sent his henchman Wang Qiu as the Taishou of Dongjun, and the rest such as Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were afraid that Liu Dai's poisonous hands would scatter, and the princes of Yanzhou became an empty shell.

However, the Yuzhou Department became the first line of the two Yuan battlefields, Sun Jian led his troops back to Yangcheng from Luoyang, and Gongsun Yue was instructed by Gongsun Zan to cross the river alone to support Sun Jian.

The two first broke Zhou Ang outside Yangcheng, Zhou Ang retreated in Yangcheng, and then Sun Jian waved his troops to attack the city, Sun Jian personally risked arrows to attack the city, Sun Jian's morale greatly increased, and after the siege of the city for ten days, Yangcheng was broken, and Zhou Ang retreated to Yangzhai.

Gongsun Yue led Bai Ma Yi to pursue, and killed Zhou Ang in front of Yang Zhai City, so that Yuzhou was under the command of Yuan Shu, who held Nanyang and Yuzhou, and became the largest Kwantung prince at that time.

The Kwantung princes dispersed in one day, killing each other, reviving the Han dynasty became far away, and the already sick Lu Zhi became more and more bedridden, and died in Yuan Shao's army in March, Yuan Shao used his henchmen to help his coffin back to Zhuo County for burial.

The death of Lu Zhi represents that the famous generals of the Han Dynasty have been declining, and the famous generals of the troubled times will show their grandeur.

As soon as Lu Zhi died, Yuan Shao had no one around him to balance Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Liucheng Xianbei Shan Yuting again.

In the past few years, Xianbei has paid tribute to Liu Yu every year under the forbearance of the head and obeyed Liu Yu's dispatch.

The years when the leader was the Great Khan of Xianbei were the years when the Xianbei nobles were seriously sinicized, and they were also the years when the chaotic Xianbei people were cultivated and recuperated.

The head bowed to Liu Yu, befriended Wuhuan, and integrated the three Xianbei, Xianbei seemed to have become a sleepy tiger.

The leader did not dare to slack off and met Xu Yu in person.

The Central Plains is in chaos, and the most promising one to unify Hebei is Yuan Shao, who has been sent to Hebei in recent years by the business travelers, spies, students, and Confucian scholars who have been accepted by the leader.

What's more, after several years of cultivation and recuperation, the complaints of the Xianbei nobles are getting bigger and bigger, and they all hope to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to take advantage of the Koubian, and then restore the glory of the Great Khan of Tanshihuai.

Forced by the pressure of warlike nobles such as Kebineng and Budugen, the head coveted the Central Plains again, and was worried that there was no excuse to send troops to the Central Plains, and now he had Yuan Shao's invitation.

The two sides hit it off, and the leader immediately sent Murong Deng's troops and the western Xianbei lord Budugen to prepare to attack and merge the state.

Budugen summoned the western Xianbei to gather in the surrendered city, and after a month, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry invaded the border under the leadership of the Xiongnu Yuan Youxian Wang Liluo.

For a time, the three counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Shuofang were in an emergency, and the snowflakes for help documents flew to Jinyang, Taiyuan, and Liu Bei of Jinyang immediately convened the generals to discuss.

Fighting, there is no doubt about it.

But how to place the rear? How to fight but there is a lot of discussion?

Some people say that they want to lure the enemy deeper, and the so-called Xianbei is just money, and the Lucheng army relies on the Great Wall pass to defend it, and then break it after it plunders enough goods, I have to say that this statement is very marketable, because this is a common means in the struggle between the Central Plains and the steppe nomads.

Some people said that they borrowed troops from Youzhou and attacked the Xianbei cavalry with the Youzhou army, but some people immediately objected.

After arguing and shouting for a day, not only did not make a result, but made Liu Bei dizzy, and only summoned Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Jian Yong to discuss at night.

Fighting, is the same idea, now it is spring ploughing, we must not delay the spring ploughing season, but we can't easily give up the three counties in Yunzhong, the most important thing is the newly recovered Hedong County, one is not handled properly, the Xiliang army can kill back to Hedong at any time.

"Hit, I have no opinion, but the grain and grass are only enough for the 30,000 army to eat in March."

Jian Yong expressed his opinion, although the transfer of the people have settled, but the year's spring ploughing has been delayed, and a lot of land is barren and there is no time to reclaim, so the grain harvested last autumn is simply not enough to eat this year, of course, last year's large number of cattle and sheep purchased from the Xiongnu and Hu people were able to pass, and this year's Xiongnu cattle and sheep have been greatly reduced.

"It's only enough for 30,000 people to eat in March, and the food shortage is already so serious?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, since the appearance of the Ten Stone Grain, Liu Bei rarely paid attention to the food problem, and he didn't expect that he would worry about the food one day.

Jian Yong was silent, and Xun Yu also nodded: "I'm afraid it's more serious, this is not even the newly recovered Hedong and Shangjun of the lord, the two counties have a lot of displaced people due to the war, and the lord still needs to raise grain and grass to help them, especially more than 100,000 white wave thieves, a careless handling will lead to a mutiny, and this year's annex will probably starve all over the wilderness."

"Even if it is starving all over the wilderness, Xianbei has to fight, according to the detailed report that this western Xianbei is just a temptation of the leader, if Budugen wins the first battle, the leader will lead three Xianbei to invade the entire northern Xinjiang region, so this battle must not only be fought, but also must be won."

Xi Zhicai said with a firm face, he was more explaining Liu Bei's wishes, Xianbei is not Liu Bei wants to fight but has to fight, the key is to win a big victory, and the state is lost, they can also return to Lucheng, Lucheng and Bingzhou fell together, there will be no place for Liu Bei in the world, this battle is related to the survival of the Lucheng regime.
