The letter that Li Yi had been waiting for day and night arrived.

This is Zhang Yan's letter. Zhang Yan told him that the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, such as Bai Huan, Yu Poison, and Ku Chief, refused to appease him. Not only did they not accept the appeasement, but they even wanted to rebel against Zhang Yan.

Bai Rao said to Zhang Yan: "If you can take this opportunity to raise the Yellow Turban banner again, we will still serve you as the Yellow Turban Marshal." Obey your command, overthrow the Great Han, and rebuild the society to fulfill the unfulfilled wish of the Great Sage and Good Teacher. Now Sima Ju, one of the eight disciples of the Great Sage and Good Master, is working with Xu He, Guan Cheng, Wu Ba, He Yi and others to seize Yanqing and Xu Sanzhou, and wants to join our Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army in the Yellow River, and the banner of my Yellow Turban will sweep the Central Plains and dominate the world. Zhang Yan, come back, come back with Yang Feng. ”

For such a rebellion, Zhang Yan naturally would not agree. Let's not say that the lord treats him well, doesn't care about his identity as a Yellow Turban Army, and treats him completely like everyone else. In the Northern Xinjiang Army, there are now a total of eight major army corps, a total of eight positives, eight deputy and sixteen generals, and he Zhang Yan is one of the eight deputy generals, which can be described as a high authority. Secondly, his experience in northern Xinjiang over the years made him very clear about one thing, that is, the strength of the lord is too strong, and the Yellow Turban Army will definitely not have good results if it continues to rebel. Once the lord made up his mind to exterminate them, it would be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to have the strength to fight.

Therefore, Zhang Yan sternly rejected the Yellow Turban Army's rebellion, and told Li Yi about this matter without hesitation. He believed that with the mind of the lord, he would definitely not blame him for this. But if he dared to hide it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Strategist, the Otani Pass has arrived."

Guo Jia woke up from his contemplation, he lifted the curtain to look at the majestic pass in front of him, let out a soft exclamation, and then said to Dian Wei: "Shunzhi, take the warrant of the lord." Invite the guests. ”

Dian Wei agreed, and galloped towards the pass with a dozen horsemen.

It didn't take long, and Li Ye, the long history of Yuan Shu, came quickly surrounded by Dian Wei and others.

Yuan Shao's knife angered Zhu Jun, and he did not hesitate to cut off contact with Yuan Shao and no longer pass any news to Yuan Shao.

Zhu Jun could tolerate Yuan Shao's killing of the ministers of the imperial court, but he could not bear Yuan Shao's trampling on the imperial power and insulting the Son of Heaven. I can't bear Yuan Shao's move to depose the emperor and establish another emperor today.

A person who is willing to admit even the Son of Heaven and is unwilling to bow down is not the rebellion of the Great Han? Could it be that this kind of person can still save the big man?

Although Dong Zhuo was domineering and domineering, he deposed the young emperor at the instigation and connivance of the scholars, and a rough and barbaric martial artist like him would not dare to depose the Son of Heaven at will, why did you Yuan Shao depose the Son of Heaven at will? What is the matter with your "edict of inheritance", who in the world does not know? Do you think that with that fig leaf, you can bend the law and do whatever you want?

Zhu Jun turned to support Yuan Shu and supported it unconditionally. Li Ye, the long history of Yuan Shu, came to Luoyang to discuss matters this time, which was promoted by Zhu Jun.

Li Ye got into the carriage and exchanged a few words of greeting. Immediately asked, "When did the hussar general order Xu Da to go south?" ”

………………

In the evening, Zhu Jun invited Li Ye to his study and asked, "Boxing, is Wentai's loss great?" ”

"It's not serious, it's more than 2,000 people." Li Ye replied respectfully, "Xu Rong's people are better at burning, killing and looting than anyone else, but they can't do it when they fight, and they run faster than anyone else." This time, if it weren't for Zhang Xiu's elusive copy, he copied it behind us. We won't be so badly defeated. ”

Zhu Jun asked again: "How about recruitment?" ”

"Kong Yuanjun is very helpful, and the recruitment of troops is very smooth. General Sun's army was already fifteen thousand men. Li Ye said with a smile, "Now there are many displaced people who have fled to Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and it is easy to recruit soldiers." Two meals a day, no military pay, and the recruits' eyes lit up when they heard it, and their heads were broken. The last thing that is lacking right now is people. ”

Zhu Jun nodded with satisfaction. said: "Okay, very good, so I'm relieved." After Xu Da led the army south to attack Yuan Shao, and Li Yi and Gongsun Zhan led the army east to Xuzhou to quell the rebellion, we will immediately take action. ”

Li Ye asked, "General Zhu." Is it certain to attack Chang'an? ”

"Tongguan has Duan Xuan stationed, and Chang'an has Wang Yun, Xuan Fan, Zheng Tai, Hengjie and other ministers to do internal affairs without fail." Zhu Jun said confidently, "Now Dong Zhuo and Dong Yue are leading the army to attack the rebels of Han Sui and Ma Teng in the area of Fufeng County and Hanyang County, and Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Guo Yan and others are about to follow Li Yi to Xuzhou, so as long as we take Hangu Pass and defeat Niu Fu, we can fight all the way into Chang'an City unhindered." ”

Li Ye said happily: "As long as King Qin succeeds, the society can flourish." General Zhu has made great contributions. ”

Zhu Jun shook his hand and sighed, "It's not that easy. Taking Chang'an, although we can drive Dong Zhuo to the western frontier, Li Yi in the northern Xinjiang, Yuan Shao in Hanoi, the Yellow Turban in Montenegro, and the ant thieves in Yanqing Xu are all more powerful than the other, and it will take a while to completely defeat them. In comparison, Dong Zhuo is the best to deal with. ”

"Li Yi in Northern Xinjiang is the most powerful." Li Ye said, "He controls the Hu people's iron cavalry in his hands, and he is strong, even if he is driven to the desert, he can kill him back." This man is too difficult to deal with. ”

Zhu Jun smiled and said indifferently: "Li Yi can't say that he is powerful, he is too young." As long as he attacks the ant thief, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro will beat him, and his army, except for the iron cavalry outside the fortress, is almost all Yellow Turban soldiers. Northern Xinjiang is almost over. ”

Li Ye looked at Zhu Jun in disbelief, and said in his heart that it was so easy to defeat the world-famous hussar general?

"I invite you to come, I want you to have a good talk with Li Ru and Guo Jia, and promise them everything. Dong Zhuo, Li Yi and Yuan Shao, like Yuan Shao, can't jump for long, so if you are wronged, you will be wronged, and there will be a time when you will raise your eyebrows in the future. Zhu Jun patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have only one purpose, that is, to send Luoyang's army out as quickly as possible, and then we will raise troops to serve the king." ”

………………

The negotiations between the three parties were unusually smooth, which made Guo Jia frown and worried. But he didn't know what was causing him to be upset.

After the three parties successfully reached an agreement, Guo Jia could only leave Luoyang in a hurry and return to Yingchuan to meet with the lord Li Yi.

In mid-April, the counterinsurgency army was formed, including Li Yi's 6,000 personal guards and iron cavalry, Gongsun Zhan's 15,000 army, Sun Jian's 15,000 army, and Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling's 10,000 army, a total of 46,000 troops.

Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army did not join the counterinsurgency army, and his reason was that the army did not have enough food and grass to operate. Li Yi knew that the reason why Dong Zhuo did not send an army to join was mainly because he was worried that the army he sent would be swallowed up. After all, the place where he wants to go to counter the rebellion is Kanto, which is far away from his old lair.

Li Yi actually didn't really want Dong Zhuo to send troops. In fact, it makes no difference whether he sends troops or not, and Li Yi does not plan to fight to the death against the rebels when he goes to quell the rebellion, his purpose is to gain the population. Li Yi believed that as long as the road was opened with grain, the vast majority of the rebels could definitely be pacified, and as long as these rebels were surrendered and relocated to the northern Xinjiang for resettlement, Li Yi's goal would be achieved.

It is worth mentioning that there are two more fierce generals in Li Yi's army. However, these two people were not summoned by Li Yi through the summoning system, but recruited in Nanyang County. One of these two people is Huang Zhong, and the other is Wei Yan.

Before heading south, Li Yi had already learned most of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's situation. After arriving in Yingchuan, Li Yi once again sent someone to inquire carefully about the situation of the two, and finally found out the current situation of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan when Guo Jia went to Luoyang to negotiate.

Before the start of the discussion of Dong, Huang Zhong was a native of Wancheng, Nanyang, and was originally a military Sima under Zhang Zhi, the Taishou of Nanyang. When Sun Jian went north, he killed Zhang Zhi and incorporated Zhang Zhi's men. Huang Zhong was unwilling to work under Sun Jian, so he quit the army and went home to farm.

And Wei Yan is actually a native of Fuyang County, Nanyang County, not a Yiyang person mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at all, and there is no such place as Yiyang now. Yiyang was actually a small county set up by Cao Pi in Fenfuyang County after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, which did not exist for a long time and was soon canceled. Therefore, the information that Li Yi mentioned in the directory before was given wrong instructions to the people of the Li Chamber of Commerce, which caused a lot of delay to find Wei Yan.

The Wei family is a powerful man in Fuyang County, and Wei Yan's father, Wei Ting, is very prestigious in the local area. Although Wei Yan is young, he is also quite famous for his courage in Fuyang. The people of the Li Chamber of Commerce got the news by chance, and they didn't dare to confirm it at first, but they only confirmed it after repeated inquiries.

After learning the exact news of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Li Yi sighed quite a lot, the novel is really harmful, and he gave him the wrong news.

Then, Li Yi let Xu Maogong and others lead the army to continue to be stationed in Xiangcheng, while he himself quietly took Tai Shici out of the camp and went to Wancheng and Fuyang to visit Huang Zhong and Wei Yan.

Huang Zhong had no intention of making a comeback, but after seeing Li Yi's sincerity, he still agreed to go out of the mountain.

As for Wei Yan's affairs, it is easier to handle, he is not very old, he is only eighteen years old, and it is the time to love face. After seeing Li Yi visit the Wei family in person, he readily agreed to follow Li Yi. And his father, Wei Ting, also agreed to move the family to northern Xinjiang.

As soon as the time entered late April, the counterinsurgency army set off. The army was divided into two routes, Li Yi and Gongsun Zan led their respective armies to enter the hinterland of Yanzhou through Chen Guo and Chen Liujun, while Sun Jian and Ji Ling led the army through Runan County to Xuzhou.

Li Yi and Gongsun Zhan's journey was very smooth, and the princes did not dare to stop their army at all, and after receiving the assurance that Li Yi would not enter the cities of the princes, everyone let go of the road and let Li Yi and Gongsun Chan move. (To be continued.) )
