PS: THANK YOU TO HOVHO FOR GIVING 100 COINS.

Ma Teng was defeated and went to Fufeng, and the situation in Guanzhong immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.

In late April, Huang Zhong and Xu Huangtun, who had received the news, were stationed in Xiatai City on the banks of the Weishui River and no longer marched towards Chang'an.

Yuan Tan was blocked by Duan Xuan under Shangluo City, and it was difficult to move an inch.

Yue Fei led his army back to Guanxi, traveled two hundred miles, and attacked Chun Yuqiong near Shaancheng. Chun Yuqiong didn't expect Yue Fei to be so soon, he was caught off guard, and he left Michi and Xin'an in a panic, and returned to Hangu Pass again.

Chun Yuqiong said in a letter to Yuan Shao that Yue Fei was like a high wall that could not be crossed.

Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Wang Fang led their troops to Huaili City, severely inflicting heavy losses on Ma Teng, and Yizhou Mu Liu Yan's army also lost more than half.

Han Sui and Ma Teng immediately retreated to martial arts. Fan Chou and Wang Fang led the army to attack, and Ma Teng was defeated again and retreated to Yicheng.

At the end of April, the imperial servant Fu Song and the great Honglu Zhu Jun were ordered to go to Yicheng to appease Han Sui and Ma Teng.

The Son of Heaven worshiped Ma Teng as General An Di and Han Sui as General An Qiang, hoping that the two could quickly withdraw to Xiliang.

Faced with today's predicament in Guanzhong, Han Sui and Ma Teng had no choice but to accept the appeasement of the imperial court and lead the army back to Xiliang.

The remnants of the Yizhou army retreated to Hanzhong via Dasanguan.

Li Wei then issued an order to question Liu Yan in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Yan, whose two sons were killed in the battle, was so angry that he blocked the pass from Guanzhong to Yizhou and refused to pay taxes.

Yuan Shao heard that Guanxi was defeated, Chong Shao and Ma Yu were killed, and Han Sui and Ma Teng were defeated and went to Xiliang. The Yizhou army lost the first battle and retreated to Hanzhong, and the strategy of capturing Guanzhong, which had been carefully planned for half a year, had failed, so he hurriedly wrote to Yuan Tan and immediately retreated to Nanyang and gave up attacking Guanzhong.

………………

May of the first year of Xingping of the Great Han Kingdom (194 AD).

In early May, Jicheng.

Yue Feifei, the general of the expedition to the west, wrote in the letter: "The situation in Guanzhong was unpredictable in two months, making people feel like they were on the edge of the abyss, but fortunately, the crisis in Guanzhong was alleviated in a short time, and all forces withdrew from Guanzhong for various reasons. Although the situation in Guanzhong has barely stabilized, this stability is temporary. There is an undercurrent surging in Guanzhong, and there is a possibility that serious disasters may break out again at any time, so I implore the lord to carefully consider whether to enter the main Guanzhong as soon as possible in the case of Hebei's gradual increase in strength. ”

Li Yi attached great importance to Yue Fei's proposal, and he had a serious discussion with several major military divisions, but the news from Xuzhou made Li Yi temporarily put aside the matter of Guanzhong, and instead turned his attention to the prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River.

………………

Cao Cao began to attack Xuzhou again in early April. He commanded the army to take Langya successively, occupied half of Guangling County, and surrounded Tao Qian in Tancheng.

After holding out for seven months, Tao Qian finally gave up Tancheng and led his army to retreat south. Cao Cao led his army in pursuit and defeated Tao Qian's general Zhenrong, who was blocking the attack after the break, near Tancheng.

In early May, Tao Qian fled to Gaoyou City in Guangling County with the remnants of the defeated army, and Cao Cao led the army to chase and kill, and Xuzhou was about to become Cao Cao's bag.

The long-awaited Hebei reinforcements have not been available for a long time, and Tao Qian has been completely desperate by now. He planned to cross the Yangtze River and take refuge in Danyang County, his hometown of Yangzhou.

………………

At the end of April, Li Yi and his subordinates were stunned when they heard that Cao Cao was about to occupy the entire territory of Xuzhou. No one expected that Cao Cao's strength would be so strong.

The call for sending troops to Yanzhou suddenly increased.

Guo Jia, Xun You, Kou Zhun, Tian Feng and others suggested that Li Yi immediately prepare the army, horses, grain and grass, and take advantage of the fact that Gongsun Zhan was still hesitating, Yuan Shao had not yet occupied Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were tired, so they crossed the river and went south to occupy the Central Plains.

Without hesitation, Li Yi immediately ordered Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Yu Ban, Li Jing and other generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army to lead their armies to assemble in Liyang, Dunqiu and Dongwuyang. He ordered the county guards of Jizhou to deliver grain and grass to the three places after the harvest was completed in May.

After careful planning by the General's Palace, the Northern Xinjiang Army will go south to fight in the Central Plains in early May.

………………

In early May, Li Yi sent Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Zhang He as the main generals, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Xun You as the military divisions of the army, and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Yan, Yu Ban, Li Jing and others as deputy generals, and dispatched 120,000 troops to cross the river to the south in a big way.

Among them, Zhao Yun was the main general, Xun You was the military division of the army, and Lu Bu and Wei Yan were the deputy generals, leading an army of 40,000 to cross the river from Liyang to the south and attack Baima; Zhang Fei was the main general, Jia Xu was the military division of the army, Zhang Liao and Yu Ban were the deputy generals, leading an army of 40,000 to cross the river from Dunqiu to the south and attack Puyang; With Zhang He as the main general, Guo Jia as the military division of the army, and Gao Shun and Li Jing as the deputy generals, he led an army of 40,000 to cross the river from Dongwuyang to the south and attack Cangting and Qinting.

In mid-May, the Third Route Army joined forces in Changyi, and the counties of Yanzhou betrayed Cao Cao one after another. By the end of May, only Yanzhou Chenliujun was still in the hands of Xiahoudun, Cheng Yu, Zao Yi and others.

Cao Cao received an urgent report from Xiahoudun and learned that the Northern Xinjiang Army was moving south, and he was so angry that he was like thunder. Now the supply of grain and grass has been completely cut off, and the troops can only be withdrawn. When his great cause of hegemony was just starting, he was suddenly hit hard and fell short, which couldn't help but make Cao Cao heartbroken and hated Li Yi, Zhang Miao and others.

In late May, Cao Cao left Li Dian, Li Quan, and Le Jin to garrison Tancheng in Donghai County, Xiapi City in Xiapi County, and Pengcheng in Pengcheng State, and ordered Mao Jue and Ren Jun to raise grain and grass in these three prefectures, and personally led an army of 20,000 to kill Yanzhou.

………………

In June of the first year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty (194 AD), Jicheng.

Late at night, Li Yi put down the scroll in his hand and rubbed his eyes very tiredly.

Diao Chan held a bowl of steaming soup, walked to Li Yi's side lightly, and asked softly, "Husband, do you want to stay up all night again?" ”

Diao Chan is Wang Yun's daughter Wang Chan, and Li Yi married at the end of last year. In last year's political struggle, Wang Yun was defeated and lost, and the Wang family was almost wiped out, in order to keep the Wang family, Wang Yun had no choice but to lose his sincerity to Li Yi, not only married his daughter to Li Yi, but also completely withdrew from the political arena and returned to his hometown in Jinyang to farm.

After seeing Diao Chan, who was still called Wang Chan at the time, Li Yi knew that this extremely beautiful woman was Diao Chan, one of the four beauties in history and one of the four beauties in Chinese history. And after marrying him into the door, Li Yi also learned that Diao Chan was actually Wang Chan's nickname.

This fact made Li Yi a little dumbfounded. Doesn't it mean that Diao Chan in history is just a singer of Wang Yun's family? Why did she suddenly become Wang Yun's biological daughter?

But thinking of Wang Yun's personality, Li Yi knew that it was entirely possible for this old guy to push his daughter out for his own career. However, for the sake of his own reputation, he had to say that his daughter was a singer in his family.

Li Yi looked up at Diao Chan, pointed to the document on the case, and said with a smile: "It's better to go over, I just need to take my brothers to fight, and I don't care about anything, but now ......"

He shook his head and said helplessly: "Compared with governing the country and governing the army, there is a world of difference, it is too difficult. ”

Diao Chan frowned lightly, sighed heartbrokenly, and then put the soup in front of Li Yi, snuggled up to Li Yi's side tamely, and said softly: "You drink a little to refresh yourself." ”

Li Yi stretched out his hand and took her into his arms and sat down, and said softly, "Thank you, Cicada." You're pregnant, so get plenty of rest. By the way, how's Jing'er? Still can't eat it? ”

The Jing'er in Li Yi's mouth is the eldest princess Liu Jing. Now she, like Diao Chan, Zhen Jiang, Mi Zhen and Gan Qian, has been pregnant for several months.

"Princess, she reacted violently, what she ate and vomited. I'm really worried about her. Diao Chan hugged Li Yi's sturdy body, leaned into his ear, and said in a coquettish voice, "The princess must be a boy in her belly." ”

"Really?" Li Yi smiled, "How do you know?" ”

"I heard Sister Yan say that she was like this when she was pregnant with a child." Diao Chan said coquettishly, "I want a boy too......"

"Yes, maybe the next one will be a boy, or ......" Li Yi kissed her gently, patted Diao Chan's abdomen affectionately, and said with a smile, "Maybe this is a boy." ”

Diao Chanjiao laughed, with a happy face.

Originally, his father married himself to Li Yi out of pressure, and Diao Chan resented Li Yi a little, thinking that Li Yi was a bad person who persecuted his father. However, after marrying Li Yi, she found out that this man was not what she imagined. He is not only a great hero who saves the world, but also a good husband who cares very much about every lady. Maybe because he has too many things to do, it is impossible to take care of his sisters, but as long as he is around, he will feel peace of mind from the depths of his soul.

It's a completely different feeling from the life I've lived in the past few years. In the past few years, her father has been training herself in some special skills, and Diao Chan knows her father's idea, but as a daughter, she has no courage or ability to stop all this. Even Diao Chan clearly knew that when he was in Chang'an, his father actually planned to use himself to implement the beauty plan and calculate Dong Zhuo and Xu Rong. But for some reason, it didn't work out.

Li Yi didn't know what Diao Chan was thinking in his heart, he looked at Diao Chan's beautiful face, and whispered: "After a while, I'm going to go on an expedition, you sisters have to take care of yourself at home." ”

Diao Chan was not the slightest surprised, she was used to it, but she still said: "I hope that when the child is born, it will be the same as when Yan'er was born, and they can see you at first sight." ”

"I'll be back before the end of the year." Li Yi used his hands hard and hugged Diao Chan tightly in his arms, "When you and Jing'er, Jiang'er, Zhen'er, and Qian'er have children, I will definitely accompany you." (To be continued.) )
