In April of the second year of Jian''an, Yuan Shu, who had stopped for more than half a year, put peiguo close at hand and ignored it. He led the army through the remaining counties in Runan to fight for the state of Chen, hoping to regain the control of the state of Chen.
After Cao Cao captured the state of Chen, he did not garrison troops here, but appointed a state minister, which was still unknown.
Cao Cao didn''t have so many talents to welcome the emperor, and the historical Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun was not here.
Therefore, Yuan Shu''s army was unstoppable, seized Chen County in one fell swoop, and killed Liu Chong, king of Chen, on the grounds of disrespect for the son of heaven.
This aroused the anger of Chen Guomin.
Liu Chong, the king of Chen of this generation, was extremely brave. He had excellent arrow skills and hit a hundred goals. When the yellow scarf uprising, because the thief army was powerful, the people of the government fled, but he did not escape. Instead, he recruited soldiers to guard the state of Chen, so that the people in the state of Chen did not dare to agree with the yellow scarf and preserved the country. Therefore, he had a high reputation.
You know, the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no power, only enjoyed taxes, and all the power was in the hands of the state minister. Liu Chong was able to achieve this in wartime, which shows his extraordinary talent.
Although it was silent again after the war, it had a high reputation. Yuan Shu killed Liu Chong, which naturally made Chen Guomin dissatisfied.
But what he saw was Cao Cao''s plot.
It is precisely because Liu Chong has a high reputation in the state of Chen that Cao Cao should take into account Liu Chong''s feelings no matter what he does, even though he is only a powerful and powerless vassal king.
So instead of stationing troops in chenguotun, he withdrew and deliberately revealed this flaw to Yuan Shu.
So Yuan Shu took the bait, recaptured the state of Chen, and found a way to kill Liu Chong.
Who told Liu Chong not to come forward to stop resistance when Cao Cao called!
When Yuan Shu killed Liu Chong, Cao Cao immediately issued a call to arms and prepared to send troops against Yuan Shu.
In July of the second year of Jian''an, Xunyou was left to guard Danyang. He took counselors such as Jia Xu and Kuai Yue, as well as generals such as Huang Zhong, taishici, Wu Yin, Cheng Pu, sun Ben and Li Tong, and set out to fight in Guanzhong to put an end to the rebellion of the Xiliang army.
At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu had been at a stalemate in the state of Chen for a month.
……
Jia Xu didn''t really want to go with the army, but he came from the Xiliang army and was familiar with Li Zhen and others, so he finally chose Jia Xu.
When passing Nanyang, he also took Zhong Yao with him. The position of prefect was appointed by Liu Biao.
Wuguan, this is the frontier base for entering Guanzhong. Since the pacification of Zhang Ji last year, he has sent troops to garrison here.
Leaving Wuguan is the boundary of Jing Zhaoyin.
This time, more than 200000 troops were dispatched, including 50000 veterans, 150000 recruits who had just finished training, 3000 cavalry soldiers from Zhang Xiu, and a baggage army of tens of thousands of people to escort food and grass.
……
The entry of more than 200000 troops into Guanzhong immediately aroused the vigilance of all departments in Guanzhong.
Although they kill each other, they still have at least some vigilance.
Who else can there be if so many troops enter the pass and are not directed at them?
So at the moment of receiving the news, all departments of the Xiliang army put down the competition and gathered at the Chang''an palace again to discuss countermeasures.
"The southern puppet Han Dynasty (the name Jizhou and Yongzhou call Jingzhou) is fierce and arrogant, and doesn''t pay any attention to the emperor. What do you think we should do?" Li Ying took the lead in the meeting.
"After all these years, who doesn''t know who? They are all brothers. Is it useful to beat around the Bush? " Guo Si sneered, "Li Da Sima has any ideas. Just say it."
"Then I''m not polite," said Li. He was annoyed at Guo Si''s demolition, but there was no good way. "Your brothers also know that once the things we did fall into the hands of others, it is impossible to live. Therefore, you should not fantasize about surrender. Even if you surrender, you may not be able to live. "
"Now we have lost Liangzhou. This Guanzhong is our last place. We can close the door ourselves and do whatever we want, but if others want to come, I''m sorry, Li Zhe won''t agree first."
"There are many soldiers in the South puppet Han Dynasty. Over the years, we have fought with each other and suffered countless deaths and injuries. No one is the opponent of the puppet Han Dynasty, but as long as we unite, even if the puppet Han Dynasty has 200000 troops, it is difficult to eat us."
"Therefore, I suggest that we unite and form an alliance to jointly resist the puppet Han Dynasty. After driving the puppet Han out of Guanzhong, we will discuss other issues. What do you think, brothers? "
"I have no opinion!" With the ferocity of killing the emperor last time, Niu Tong managed to control several counties. Naturally, he didn''t want to be eaten by his peers. He made a stepping stone for him. He was the first to respond.
"Agree!" Li Mengying and Tao.
"I also agree with big Sima." Hu said.
"Me too." Wang Fang agreed.
"Agree!" Yang Ding frowned.
"No problem!" Duan simmer also said.
……
The leaders of the ministries agreed one by one, and finally Guo Si was left.
"Guo Cheqi, what do you say?" Seeing that everyone recognized his opinion, Li Xi smiled at Guo Si.
"I don''t mind, but how can we work together? Who will be the leader? " Guo Si raised another question.
Then, the crowd will begin to compete. In the end, Li Zhen took the post of the leader of the alliance with his strong strength and led all his troops against the Xiliang army.
"Now that we have made a decision, you brothers will go back for half a month and lead the army to gather in Lantian, where we will meet the puppet Han Liu Kun."
……
Half a month passed, and the army of tricks had approached Lantian.
"What''s the matter? Why didn''t Duan simmer come? Yang Ding, you are also in Hongnong. Do you know the situation? " In the camp, Li Zhe asked angrily.
"Back to the big Sima, general Duan sent someone to report that there were changes in Hedong Yangfeng, nanhun qubei, Baibo Li le and others, or crossed the river south to threaten Guanzhong. General Duan wanted to guard against these people and had no time to go to the alliance." Yang Ding said calmly.
Li Zhen and Duan simmer are at odds, and they are also with Hongnong. There is a lot of dirt between them. There is no need to say good words to Duan simmer.
"Yang Feng is rebellious and wants to take advantage of the fire!" Li Zhen was furious.
Yang Fengbai was born in an army. Later, he took refuge in himself and wanted to unite with his subordinates, song Guo, to kill himself. After the incident, he fled and led his troops to live in Hedong.
"So we have thousands less." Guo Si''s face was ugly.
After years of fighting, there were not many people left, and they also lost the source of Xiliang iron cavalry. One cavalry died and one less died. However, because of the years of war in Guanzhong, people''s lives were withered and taxes were greatly reduced, there was nothing they could do to expand the army.
The ministries gathered together, but there were only more than 70000 people. For example, the number of Li Zhen is 20000, the number of less is only thousands, and the total number of cavalry is less than 20000.
Since Zhang Ji left last year, the cavalry of each department has lost a lot.
……
Duan simmer couldn''t be there, and Li Zhen could only fight.
Moreover, in order to give full play to the advantages of Xiliang cavalry, we can''t defend the city, we can only fight in the field.
Otherwise, the cavalry is a decoration.
As for the separation of troops, infantry guarding the city and cavalry wandering outside, Li Zhen didn''t dare at all. He feared that once he left, the rest of the army would be out of his control.
He dare not bet that there are several different opinions.
And no one under his command can suppress those generals except himself.
……
Qiji likes to fight with people, but this time, in the face of the Xiliang army who took the initiative, he did not choose to fight, but set up a camp and opposed the Xiliang army at a distance.
Let Li Zhe send people to invite war every day and ignore it.
