Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 233
The Xiliang army came aggressively, and was defeated just after the confrontation. They were ambushed on three fronts, and the troops were defeated. Guo Bang led his troops to break through.

Zhang Yun chased after him for a while, and obtained countless supplies and equipment. Guan Yu and Yu Jin blocked the Feixiong army who were too late to escape, and almost all of them were killed.

At dusk, each of them retreated to the port, captured more than a thousand people, countless horses and equipment, and transported them across the river. They burned all the sundries left in the port before they crossed the river.

Liu He said with a smile: "Mr. Dong Zhuo, before leaving, he sent us a big gift. I don't know when we will repay it."

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The general let Lu Bu go. This is Dong Zhuo's reward!"

Everyone laughed. The Xiliang army's war horses were tall, especially the mounts of the Feixiong army. They were fat and strong, and they were very majestic. They should be fine breeds from the Qiang people.

In addition, the weapons and armor of the Feixiong Army also made everyone envious. This is basically the costume of a heavy cavalry, and it is better than Zhang Fei's Yanyun Cavalry. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo has been searching for money all these years.

After crossing the river, they selected a batch of extra war horses to pull carts, and with the help of captives and civilian husbands, the return journey was much easier than expected.

Liu, Zhang He, and Hua Xiong escorted them back and transported them directly to Yuanqu. They led the rest of the generals and [-] elite soldiers to Anyi to discuss how to deal with Baibo's army.

Yu Jin looked at the vehicles all over the place and was stunned. He asked, "General, how can we transport so much property back to Youzhou?"

Liu He said with a smile: "It is not necessary to transport all of them back to Youzhou, as long as they are transported to Bingzhou!"

"Bingzhou?" Yu Jin frowned in confusion.

Liu Heyan said: "My father has declared Liu Yao to be the shepherd of Bingzhou. He is leading troops to wipe out the Huns in Bingzhou. As long as Jinyang and Shangdang are taken down, he can take over us."

Suddenly, Yu Jin clasped his fists and said, "The general has far-sighted plans, and it turns out that he has already planned it."

"It's all the work of everyone in Youzhou!" Liu He sighed, but he always felt that something was wrong.

He had also thought about taking the route of Bingzhou to fight against Han Fu and Yuan Shao, but before the dispatch of the letter, the Youzhou side had already started to act.

There is no doubt about Jushou's strategic vision. He can think of taking the state, but how can he judge that his back road is cut off, and he will make a plan in advance?

Letting the Xianbei and Wuhuan people harass the border by hunting and keep Liu Yu on the grounds of the Hu people's rebellion does not seem to be the plan of Tian Feng, who puts prudence first. Once the fakes come true, the consequences will be disastrous.

This is a nearly perfect plan, and it may also be the result of everyone's brainstorming and planning. It is not impossible for Lu Zhi, Huangfusong, Hua Xin and others to plan. Thinking of this, Liu He stopped guessing.

Originally, he wanted to rush to Bingzhou after the robbery was over, but now Wang Yi asked to put down the chaos in Hedong, so he just took this opportunity to gain a foothold temporarily, and then set off after the situation in Bingzhou stabilized, which would be safer.

At this time, Bingzhou was even poorer than Youzhou, and it was looted by the Huns rebellion. I am afraid that it was riddled with holes. With these spoils, it should at least be able to make up for it.

Liu He sighed helplessly when he thought that the two states he occupied were so barren and waiting to be rebuilt. The next step is to develop internal affairs, and there is also a long way to go!
Bingzhou was originally sparsely populated, and was forced to retreat into Yanmen Pass by the Xianbei, and now it was plundered by the Huns. I am afraid that it would be completely empty. It would be a good supplement if the Baibo thieves could be moved to Bingzhou.

When Liu He returned to Anyi, Wang Yi sent people out of the city to meet him. Hearing that the emperor had been taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Wei Jian said: "Luoyang was burned, and the coalition forces were scattered. Now Dong Zhuo is in power, and the emperor is young and cowardly. He is held hostage by this thief. The princes each dominate their own side. I fear they will not listen to the court's orders, and the world will be in chaos!"

Liu He didn't expect that Wei Ke still had some insight. When he asked about Luoyang, it turned out that the alliance had been disbanded, and he left Luoyang one after another and went back to Kanto.

It turned out that after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Sun Jian was the first to enter Luoyang. Seeing the flames in the palace, he led troops to put out the fire.

Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his troops to pursue him, but was defeated by Li Ru's ambush at Hangu Pass. Cao Cao, who escaped from the dead, was furious. Seeing that the princes did not think about making progress, he led his troops back to Xuzhou.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's escape, Yuan Shu, who was staying in Xingyang, led his troops to occupy Yuzhou first, and proclaimed himself the governor of Yuzhou, but presented Sun Jian as the prefect of Wujun and asked him to return to Jiangdong.

Sun Jian's governor of Yuzhou was snatched away by Yuan Shu before his ass became hot. Knowing that the princes had different intentions, under the persuasion of Huang Gai and others, he led the army back to Jiangdong to raise the army, recruited soldiers and bought horses to regroup.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, borrowed food from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, but Qiao Mao refused to borrow food.

The feudal lords were separated from each other, and then dispersed. Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang led troops to station in Hanoi.

The civil strife among the princes had long been expected by Liu He, but Sun Jian's change was still unexpected. Without the jade seal dispute, Sun Jian did not have to enmity with Liu Biao, but he was tricked by Yuan Shu again.

But Yuan Shu asked Sun Jian to return to Wu County, which is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. If the Jiangdong tiger returns to the mountain, is that okay?

Everyone lamented the current situation for a while, but the topic still fell on the Baibo army. What is the future of the princes, the threat of the Baibo army is an urgent matter.

Wang Yi and Wei Ji repeated the situation of the Baibo army. The rebel army was stationed north of Fenshui, distributed from Jishan to Baibo Valley, and had not advanced in the past month.

Wei Xie said: "According to the military report from the former army, the bandit army has not moved for a month, probably due to the lack of food for the soldiers. They occupied the fields in various places and prepared to grab the autumn grain."

"Insufficient food and grass?" Liu He nodded slightly.

Wang Yi said: "The bandit army relies on the terrain to stand firm. It will wait for the autumn season. At that time, troops will be raised to loot. The people everywhere are terrified and ask for help from the officers and soldiers. The troops in the east of the river are insufficient, so please ask the general for reinforcements."

Liu He nodded and said: "Then Mrs. Guo and we have also fought against each other before. This person actually doesn't know the art of war, but he is just a stickler."

Wang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Although this is the case, the bandit army is so powerful that non-officials and soldiers can fight for it. General Wentao and Wulu will surely be able to capture it with one hand."

Wei Qie said: "Previously the rebel army was very strong, and we were not well-prepared. We dared not let the rebels cross the river, so we destroyed the bridge and took Fenshui as the boundary to refuse to defend. Now the general has led the army here, or we can use the strategy of luring the soldiers to lure them Cross the river and hit him."

"This strategy may not work!" Liu He shook his head and said, "I brought troops to Hedong, and Mrs. Guo must have found out that the number was lost to me. How dare I rush to pursue it? And the bandit army is short of food, and they are only waiting for the autumn harvest. , It will take another month, and I will definitely not take the initiative to attack."

"Could it be that the general wants to cross the river to attack?" Wang Yimei asked, "There are bandit troops guarding the area around Fenshui, and the army may be disadvantaged if they forcefully cross the river."

Liu He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Using troops depends on adapting to changes. It is too early to talk about the military situation at this time. I will have my own countermeasures when the troops arrive in front of the formation."

Wang Yi clasped his fists and said, "Let the safety of Hedong be entrusted to the general!"

After the banquet, Liu He sent his troops to Wenxi to meet up, rested for two days, and then attacked the Baibo bandits.
