Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 323 The situation of various forces

In Xingyue City, Ma Liang specially found a clean place and built a mansion where Zhang Rang and Liu Bian lived.

According to Cheng Huang's instructions, Ma Liang did not disclose the identities of the two, they were just like ordinary people.On the contrary, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, knowing that the prince arrived in Dongting, would often come to see him.

As two people deeply influenced by Confucianism, they still have feelings for the big man.

As soon as Lu Zhi returned to the Central Plains, Ma Liang sent a clipper to Dongting and built a mansion specially for him.As soon as he arrived in Dongting, Lu Zhi took off his military uniform and started to manage Dongting Academy together with Cai Yan.

As for Lu Zhi's family generals, they served in the Dongting Army.

Back in Dongting, Diao Chan reunited with Zhang Rang's father and daughter, which was naturally full of surprises.Zhang Rang's gratitude to Cheng Huang increased a little.

The development of Xingyue City has been changing with each passing day. After several months of development, the population of the territory has approached 500 million. These are refugees fleeing the war in the north.

In addition, several affiliated cities of Xingyue City also developed, upgraded to county towns, built city walls, and Gan Ning sent soldiers and horses to garrison them.

Seeing the development of the territory, Cheng Huang was in a good mood. With Ma Liang here, and the management talents sent by Dongting Academy, he didn't have to worry about anything.

Back in Dongting, Cheng Huang rode the lightning eagle, looked around the territory, and then returned to Xingyue City, the city lord to discuss matters, and asked the guards to notify the high-level leaders of the territory to come to discuss matters.

Not long ago, generals from all walks of life gathered together.Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Ma Liang, Ju Yi and other high-level officials also rushed over. They were naturally overjoyed to see that Cheng Huang had returned to the territory.

After everyone was seated, Cheng Huang cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, Emperor Ling passed away, and the young prince Xie succeeded to the throne. Xiliang's powerful Dong Zhuo has already entered the capital. With Dong Zhuo's domineering behavior, I believe that the court will fall into chaos in a short time. among."

"The so-called heroes come out of troubled times. As long as the troubled times are together, it will be the time for the heroes to compete. At that time, it is the time for everyone to show their talents. As a general on the battlefield, you must either make contributions or be shrouded in horse leather. Therefore, I hope that everyone will be well prepared after going down." , our Dongting may send troops at any time."

When the generals heard this, they all showed expressions of eagerness to try.

"Mr. Ji Chang, the information about Iron Operator has been sent to you. Tell me about the current situation of various forces." Cheng Huang asked Ma Liang.

"Okay," Ma Liang nodded and said, "The territory of the Great Han is vast, and the situation is extremely complicated. The Hu people in the north harass me from time to time, the Qiang people in Xiliang, the Shanyue people in Yangzhou, and the barbarians in the south are all ready to fight. If there is chaos, I'm afraid they will stand on their own one after another. What's more, they will go to the Central Plains to share a piece of the pie."

"As for the big Han, all the official forces also have their own strength. With the chaos in Luoyang and Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, I'm afraid Ma Teng, Han Sui and other forces in Liangzhou will take advantage of the situation. Gongsun Zan in the north has strong troops and horses, and his strength should not be underestimated. The later general Yuan Shu had already come to Nanyang. With the prestige of the Yuan family, he recruited troops and developed extremely rapidly. Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong, who escaped from Luoyang, went to Bohai Sea and worked hard to develop their own strength. Liu Bei in Qingzhou Plain, Sun Jian in Jiangdong, It has received the support of countless strangers, and has a lot of power."

……

Ma Liang told the situation of all the forces one by one, and Cheng Huang couldn't help nodding his head.Looking at this situation, there is a slight discrepancy with history, but it is not very big.

Among them, the dark horse Liu Bei emerged. However, Liu Bei's early appearance is not a good thing, which proves that many plots will change.

Ma Liang had just finished speaking when a guard walked in, "My lord, the military advisor is back."

"Mr. Yuanzhi is back?" Cheng Huang was overjoyed and got up quickly. At this moment, Xu Shu walked into the conference hall with a dusty face.

"Master, I have met all the leaders." Xu Shu cupped his hands.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, you came back just in time. Are we discussing matters again?" Cheng Huang hurriedly asked Xu Shu to sit down and said.

After Xu Shu sat down, Cheng Huang hurriedly asked about the situation of Mount Tai.

Xu Shu said: "My lord, after several months of training, the [-] elite soldiers of Mount Tai have completed their training, and I promise to surprise my lord."

"What kind of surprise?" Cheng Huang asked in a good mood.

Xu Shu stroked his mustache, "The [-] troops are all units above the sixth rank, and each unit is fully equipped, enough to stand alone."

Cheng Huang was not too surprised. With Zhao Yun's military training ability and the fact that these were the elites selected by the Yellow Turban, becoming a sixth-rank elite soldier was a certainty.

Then, Cheng Huang told Xu Shu about the situation in Luoyang and the form of the big man.

Xu Shu was silent for a while, and said: "The big man will be in chaos, and our chance has come. However, the so-called late attack, we can't expose our strength first. When the world is in chaos, we will take the opportunity to take action, and we will definitely be able to receive it." miraculous."

"Well, Mr. Yuan Zhi's words are polite," Cheng Huang nodded, "then the soldiers and horses of Mount Tai will not move for the time being, and Wang Pingxin's training, of course, the three thousand Wudang flying troops can also be used as surprise soldiers. Our original soldiers and horses in Dongting, Together with the Wudang Flying Army, it is enough to deal with the early stage of the war."

Everyone was discussing matters, and the guard walked in again.

"My lord, Mr. Guo is back." As soon as the words finished, a short and fat figure walked in from outside the hall. It was the iron operator Guo You.

Guo You smiled all over his face, and said to Cheng Huang: "General Cheng, the latest news is that Dong Zhuo has already taken control of the court, and in order to stabilize his position, under Li Ru's suggestion of course, he canonized many Han family clan relatives and important officials in the court. Among them, Liu Dai is the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Yan is the shepherd of Yizhou, Yuan Shao is the prefect of Bohai, and Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou. In Luoyang, many important officials of the court have also been promoted."

"What?" Cheng Huang suddenly got up, the time to come, finally came.

"Everyone, Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he is quite famous. As long as he arrives in Jingzhou, he will definitely get the support of the Jingzhou clan. Then, he will become a strong enemy of our Dongting. Therefore, we must, before he arrives in Jingzhou, Kill it."

"My lord, Liu Biao's reputation is very good. If we let the world know that we killed him, it will definitely cause criticism. What's more, the court will be furious, and our Dongting will be attacked by mobs. My lord, please think twice!" After listening to Cheng Huang If so, Ma Liang quickly said.

Everyone didn't understand history, so of course they didn't have much reaction to Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou.But Cheng Huang knew that Liu Biao had controlled the situation in Jingzhou and established a strong team within just one year of his arrival in Jingzhou.

Since then, he has [-] soldiers and has occupied Jingzhou for more than ten years.If he wants to compete in the Central Plains, he must get rid of Liu Biao at all costs.

"Ji Changzhi's words are polite," Cheng Huang nodded and said, "It's just that we can't do it clearly, as long as we set up an ambush on the way he must pass to Jingzhou and kill him secretly, as long as other forces are not allowed to catch the evidence, they have the ability How about it?"
