Just when Li Shushi's staff were formulating various plans to deal with Dong Zhuo's new policy in Yinguan City, the world began to become lively. The first to bear the brunt of the problem is naturally the Sili area, which is the economic center of the Great Han Dynasty.
"Originally, you also knew that Dong Zhuo was actually releasing water when he made a yellow scarf, and he didn't use all his strength to fight the Qiang people, so if we make a rash move, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not suffer. This time, let me try it first, and if I fail, I can also teach everyone a lesson. ”
At the head of the county seat of Huai County, Si Li, Hanoi County, two young men stood quietly against the bitter cold wind, and far behind them was a group of soldiers armed to the teeth, in a defensive position without disturbing the two people who should still be called "youth" (according to the age standard of the ten outstanding young people in modern times) who were protected by them at the core.
"Gongjie's words are reasonable, the Xiliang army is brutal, especially under Dong Zhuo, it is known as 'indomitable, fearless division', I heard that it can still win in the face of the Qiang alliance army in Shu County, which is several times its size, and there are eight Qiang tribes who follow him. Hey, if it weren't for Lu Gong's troops being pinned down in the northern frontier, otherwise we wouldn't need to attack so strongly. ”
Yuan Shao, who came to Hanoi secretly, listened to the words of the master of the room, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, nodded slightly, and was satisfied with Wang Kuang, his former colleague and his subordinates. But at the same time, there was a slight disappointment.
Of course, this disappointment is not for Wang Kuang in front of him, in Yuan Shao's opinion, Wang Kuang has done a good enough. Although Wang Kuang received the least number of soldiers who returned from the Liangzhou front, and the rest were either refugees from Hanoi or rangers recruited from Wang Kuang's hometown Taishan County and mountain bandits who were willing to follow him to fight for a reputation, but after Wang Kuang's integration during this time, at least in Yuan Shao's eyes, the spirit of those soldiers was even better than the Xiyuan Army that he had spent a lot of effort to run.
This made Yuan Shao, who thought he was familiar with Wang Kuang's personality and ability, a little surprised, but it was more of a surprise.
Yuan Shao's real disappointment is like what he himself said, and it is now certain that Lu Zhi will be in a neutral position in this war between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung family - not that Lu Zhi does not want to help, but Shuozhou has been in a lot of trouble recently.
Although the Lu Shuihu tribes, who have always had an employment relationship with Dong Zhuo and have a good relationship with each other, but have a deep enmity with the people of Shuozhou, especially the Xihe military and civilians, were solved by Li Shushi in the last battle, they obviously received some instructions or guarantees from Dong Zhuo this time, and put on a posture of making a comeback.
If it was just Lu Shuihu, although Lu Zhi would feel a headache, but with the help of the Karasuma people and the Huns, plus generals like Koyi and Zhang Yan, he would not be worried, and it was the Xianbei people in the north who really made Lu Zhi feel tricky.
Although Li Shushi could already confirm that the main force of the Xianbei people had begun to turn to the west, the goal should be to intervene or even seek an opportunity to annex Wusun, so as to open the passage of the grassland to the west, so as to obtain the continued military supply of the grassland.
However, this does not mean that the Xianbei people will allow the Bingzhou Army and the Shuozhou Army to find a way to almost destroy their Dragon Court.
One Huo Qu's illness is enough, and another Dou Xian has completely destroyed the once invincible Xiongnu Empire, swept it into the historical garbage heap of Europe, brought the first yellow peril to Europe, and at the same time made the already unstable European territory completely fall into a chaotic fight, until the full-scale invasion of the Arabs.
The Xianbei people have no intention of learning from the Huns and leaving their homeland, although there is indeed an enviable land in the west, but it is only compared to the place where they live now, and they still need to cross the cold and desolate ice fields or rule the local countries on the way. Not to mention that the land to the south of them is richer, why should they go near and seek far, it is really called "this is a self-defeating way".
Therefore, even though most of the main force was transferred to the west, the leader still sent Duan and Murong of Xianbei in the east to put on an offensive posture as a force to defend against Youjushuo and other places.
It seems that although the scale of these tribes is not small, if they are scattered all over the place, their defense area will naturally be expanded, and the thickness of their defense will be reduced a lot, can they resist the attack from the Central Plains?
For this point, it can be seen from the fact that after discussing with Ke Zhi and others, the leader was relieved to transfer the troops to the west.
Although I am a little sorry for the heroes of the Central Plains, it is a pity that if the Central Plains is still that monolith, even if there are some cracks and some acnes, it still looks like a complete piece on the surface, and the Xianbei people will not have such courage.
However, with Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, it was impossible for any prince to have the strength to defend against the attacks of other princes, and at the same time to send a large army into the grassland. If it was just a "small" force of tens of thousands, those Xianbei tribes would not mind playing hide and seek with their enemies. This is not only because of the grassland people's familiarity with the grassland, but also because of the self-confidence they have gained because they are fighting at home, and they are confident that no one can understand the grassland better than them.
It's as if in the mountains, Li Shushi has absolute confidence to inflict heavy losses on the enemies who came from the grasslands.
In fact, when Li Shushi was in Yanmen, except for some friction and low-intensity attacks with the Xianbei people, neither side further escalated the war - both sides felt a little powerless about this.
Therefore, without Lu Zhi's blow to Dong Zhuo's back, Yuan Shao and the others could only try their best to crash into Luoyang Eight Passes and Xiongguan such as Tiger Prison, as for the ending, no one dared to pack a ticket whether the Kwantung princes were bleeding or Luoyang City was broken.
However, before Yuan Shao's admiration for Wang Kuang lasted long, Wang Kuang continued with what he had just said:
"However, if Kuang is lucky enough to break through the Yellow River defense line and reach the city of Luoyang, he must also ask Benchu to contact all the princes to march together, completely defeat the Dong thief in one fell swoop, and return to His Majesty."
It's back to my favorability just now! Li Yuan Shao has an urge to go berserk, but Yuan Shao's temperament is finally elegant to the point that it has become a habit, so he can turn a blind eye to Wang Kuang's self-righteousness (Li Yuan Shao's words), but at the same time, he is also secretly wary. Obviously, Wang Kuang respects him very much on the surface, but what do you think in your heart, does he also want to take the opportunity to make capital to overwhelm him, the descendant of the fourth generation and the third duke? Yuan Shao would never allow this to happen.
But......
"Then Shao is here to wish Brother Gongjie a victory, so that those barbarians from Xiliang can see our skills."
After all, Yuan Shao was still more familiar with Dong Zhuo than Wang Kuang, not to mention that for his old enemy, he didn't ask for information about Dong Zhuo from Li Shushi and the soldiers of the Northern Army. So he didn't think that Wang Kuang really had the strength to defeat Dong Zhuo's troops.
Of course, Yuan Shao would not say it, especially when the other party had already exposed his cocked tail.
"Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, how will you deal with it? Is it a head-on confrontation according to your old habits? Then it's exactly what I want, I want to see if you Dong Zhuo can afford it or my Kanto family can afford it. Or do you think that Li in Bingzhou will do his best to help you? Lu Gong had already promised me that he would hold that little guy back. Zhu Gongwei will also lead the ministers to fight back at the appropriate time. Hmph, Dong Zhuo, I'll see how long you can bounce around in Luoyang. If I don't divide your five horses, I will be a descendant of the Yuan family in vain! ”
Looking at the back of Wang Kuang, who walked down the city wall and gradually moved away, Yuan Shao's hands were clenched tightly.
The Kwantung princes have been preparing one after another, and Dong Zhuo's side has also begun to run his war machine in full force.
"Eun Xiang, if the information is correct, then I'm afraid the first enemy we are about to face will be the Prince's Day from Hanoi."
"Oh? Did the group of beam-jumping clowns finally dare to peek out from under the ground? I really didn't show up until the last minute. This was the case with He Jin at the beginning, and the same is true with Yuan Shao'er now, these two guys are really alike. ”
Sitting in the inner room of the Xiangguo Mansion, which had more than doubled in size, Dong Zhuo enjoyed the full range of services from the palace maids, while leisurely looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, without a hint of nervousness about the arrival of the enemy on his face.
However, Dong Zhuo's appearance is just like this, but even Li Ru, who has always been calm and even a little cold at times, is such a casual look, which shows that Dong Zhuo's side really didn't pay attention to the temptation from the Kwantung princes.
Yes, in the eyes of the Xiliang Army, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from just one Hanoi County want to defeat them? That's really a pipe dream, no, maybe they can't dream of a way to defeat their Xiliang army.
Well, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army must have never heard Long Aotian's story, otherwise they would not have thought so.
"Niu Fu, that kid is still playing with those thieves in the White Wave Valley?" Dong Zhuo suddenly asked out loud.
"Yes, those guys are slippery and unseemly, after being defeated by Brother Fuzhi in the plains, they hid in the mountains and forests like shrunken turtles, although we can find the villagers as guides, but they are still inferior to the white wave thieves who have been there for generations."
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were three large local separatist bandits that were very troublesome, namely the Black Mountain Bandits, the Taishan Thieves and the White Wave Thieves, although these guys are not very strong, but if they come to their home field and let them use the terrain to play guerrilla games with you, then basically unless you take the initiative to evacuate, your troops will become meat buns thrown to wild dogs - never to return.
And the final outcome of these three teams is the same, although there are some opposition forces inside, but the main force is recruited by various forces. It's just that although the general trend of the world was chaotic at that time, it was much clearer in some local areas.
Now, at the peak of their troubles.
Of course, because of the influence of a certain butterfly, the Black Mountain Army has been completely whitewashed and has become an upright Yunzhong Army.
"Then, let's teach those arrogant princes a good lesson, and let them know that we veterans who have been on the border for decades are not easy to mess with. In the face of strong strength, any little trick can only bring humiliation on itself! ”
Pushing the palace maids around him away, Dong Zhuo showed an excited expression in their trembling eyes.
