After knowing that the Tengjia Army planned to attack Youzhou, Huangfu Song ordered Xu Rong to ignore the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou and lead an army of 50,000 people back to Jizhou quickly. At the same time, he also began to mobilize all the county soldiers and field soldiers in Jizhou! Hundreds of thousands of troops obeyed

Huangfu Song's orders were gathered in pavilions everywhere!

Huangfusong knew that he had to rescue Liu Yu. If Youzhou was captured by the Tengjia Army, the entire Jizhou would be wide open. No matter how many fortifications he built in the Taihang Mountains, there would be nothing left. The Tengjia Army controlled most of the grassland and could be mobilized.

With more than 200,000 cavalry, if he fights with 200,000 cavalry on the plains of Jizhou, he is simply looking for death. He must help Liu Yu defend Youzhou! But Jizhou also needs someone to guard it.

Huangfu Song went to Lu Zhi and said: "Brother Zigan, I will first bring 50,000 troops to support Youzhou. I now appoint you, brother Zigan, as the commander of the Hussar General's Office. I will leave the affairs of Jizhou to you, Zigan. Xu Rong's

The 50,000 troops can stay in Jizhou and be commanded by you, Brother Zigan, to prevent the Tengjia Army from attacking Youzhou from Bingzhou. After the remaining 100,000 garrison troops are assembled, Xu Rong will lead them to support Youzhou!"

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Bo'an really doesn't know much about military affairs. Doesn't he know what the Sanggan River waterway means to the Tengjia Army? How could he cut off this waterway when he was not fully prepared!"

Huangfu Song sighed and said: "It's not too late now. If Lei Gong attacked Youzhou half a year ago, it would be even more unbearable for us. At least now, the Han Dynasty is still one. I hope we can defend Youzhou this time and severely damage the Tengjia Army. This way we can

Buy a few years for the court!"

Then he solemnly said again: "I'll leave the matter of Youzhou to Brother Zigan!"

Lu Zhi also knew that the situation in Youzhou was critical now, and Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was not good at military affairs. After Huangfu Song went to Youzhou, everyone was not polite to Huangfu Song. After Huangfu Song left with an army of 50,000, he fully

Take over the defense of Jizhou, and at the same time continue to gather troops to prepare for the war in Youzhou!

Hanoi County, Yewang County!

The Tengjia Army has begun to cultivate homing pigeons on a large scale, and the news that Liu Yu cut off the Sanggan River waterway reached him in less than a day!

Wang Ge was shocked when he heard the news and said: "Commander Qu, Hanoi County can't stay any longer. We have to rush to Mayi as soon as possible and command the army to attack Youzhou. If we can't capture the entire Youzhou before spring plowing, our Tengjia army will have food."

Production must be cut by half! By then, there won’t be only one or two million people dying of starvation!”

Wang Yong also said: "Now that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains has been defeated, our stay in Hanoi County will not be of much use. What we have to do now is to quickly capture Youzhou and open up the Sanggan River waterway!"

Xu Wei said solemnly: "The whole army retreated, leaving 5,000 soldiers to strengthen Tianjing Pass to prevent Dong Zhuo from taking the opportunity to attack Bingzhou!"

All the captains present said: "No!"

Dong Zhuo, who is not far away from Xu Wei, is in a very good mood these days. Yuan Shu's attack on the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou went very smoothly, and he even killed the Yellow Turban Army Qu Commander Gong Du. Now he has squeezed the entire Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army into the mountainous area.

Liu Bei of Jingzhou also led an army to suppress the clan traitors in Jingnan after defeating Yuan Shu. The clan traitors in Jingnan were killed by Liu Bei and their blood flowed like rivers. No one dared to rebel anymore.

Good news also came from the Central Plains. Huangfu Song sent Xu Rong to lead an army of 50,000 to support Yuan Shao, and Chen Guo Liu Chong also led an army of 30,000 to support Yuan Shao. With the reinforcements from these two parties, Yuan Shao and others completely defeated the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains.

, the imperial army defeated 500,000 Yellow Turbans, killed 200,000 people, and captured 100,000 people. Such a great victory has been rare in decades. Now the situation in the entire Central Plains is not a small good, but a big good.

All these victories were achieved under the command of him, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. He, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, was the biggest contributor! It can be said that except for the Xiliang rebellion and the Bingzhou rebellion, the peace of the past has finally been restored in other places in the Han Dynasty.

Whoever said that their warriors can't govern the country is simply slander. How difficult can it be to govern the country? I, Dong Zhuo, didn't do it well! The system of the former Han Dynasty still makes sense.

', If the Han Dynasty had a warrior prime minister like me earlier, how could the world be in chaos like it is now!

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo said proudly: "Wen He, now only Lei Gong and Han Sui are the two rebel groups left in the Han Dynasty. What do you think I will do to deal with them!"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Since the imperial court sealed them off in the poor land of Xiliang, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others have been declining in power. Now it is difficult for them to threaten the imperial court. The prime minister is from Xiliang, and

They have a good relationship with each other. You can appoint Han Sui and others as governors or governors of Xiliang, and give them some money and food. Even if they help the court guard the border, Xiliang will not cause much damage if they are far away from the court. Han Sui and others are just habits.

The Prime Minister can bribe them, but the Thunder Lord in Bingzhou is the most serious trouble, and the Prime Minister must prepare early to deal with the Thunder Lord!"

Xiliang has its natural limitations. The land is too poor, there are too many Qiang people, and the ethnic conflicts are too fierce. People like Han Sui and others had a Han Dynasty as their target before, so they could still use their efforts together.

But after Liu Bei and Huangfu Li completely blocked them in Xiliang, the hearts of the Xiliang rebels were dispersed. It can even be said that they had never worked together. It was just that the pressure from the Han Dynasty was too great.

I had to join a group to stay warm.

But now it is difficult for the imperial court to threaten them. They fight with each other for their own interests. The initial leaders of the Xiliang rebels, Beigong Boyu, Marquis Li Wenhua, and Bian Zhang, all died in the internal fighting. Only Han Sui is still alive. The cruel civil war.

The rebellion of Xiliang, which originally numbered hundreds of thousands, has become a mess. They killed each other and now only tens of thousands of troops are left.

And these tens of thousands of horses have to find a way to feed themselves. It can be said that they are too hungry to rebel. After Han Sui and Ma Teng found that they could not plunder Guanzhong, everyone was about to starve to death due to the barrenness of Xiliang.

They discovered that when there was no place to rob, swords and swords could not guarantee their survival, so the rebellious leaders of Xiliang hunkered down in their own territory and became local tyrants, trying to find ways to farm and save themselves!

The Xiliang rebellion, which was the largest rebellion in the world at the time, could defeat the imperial court's 100,000 troops and contain half of the Han army, has completely declined. Even Dong Zhuo no longer threatens them!

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Wen He's words are reasonable. Han Sui and the others are indeed much worse than Lei Gong. At first, his reputation was much higher than Lei Gong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most rebellious in the world. But now Lei Gong has troops."

300,000 has become the most powerful rebellion in the world. On the contrary, Han Sui was the first to rebel against the Han Dynasty. Now he doesn’t even have an army of 30,000! The truth is that we will let the court ministers discuss how to recruit Han Sui, Ma Teng and the others!"

Then Jia Xu continued: "Although the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains has been defeated by Yuan Shao and the others, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army still have considerable strength. This time alone, there are 200,000 Yellow Turban Army soldiers who escaped from the White Horse Battlefield. It can be said that

As long as the imperial court relaxes its vigilance even a little bit, these Yellow Turban Army will definitely reappear!"

"The Prime Minister can order Yuan Shao to be General Andong and the governor of Qingzhou, so that he can continue to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and appoint Yuan Shu as General Annan to continue suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou! Appoint Cao Cao as General Fenwu and the Governor of Taishan County, and let him find his own way.

Recruit troops to deal with the Taishan bandits! In addition, Yang Biao's disciples are stationed in Yanzhou, which is enough to stabilize the Central Plains. Once there is no Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains, the Prime Minister can gradually replace the Kanto scholars with scholars from Xiliang and Kansai, allowing the scholars to fight among themselves.

, so that the Prime Minister can sit back and relax in Luoyang City!"

At this time, Niu Fu said unconvinced: "Yuan Shao and the others are our defeated generals. Why can they still hold high positions? They are all prefects and generals. We are the confidants of the prime minister. We should be a general or a lieutenant general."

, can this lieutenant be considered a general?"

"How much benefit have Jia Wen and Yuan Shao given you to help outsiders like them like this!"

Others also became agitated and said: "I, Hua Xiong, have been following the Prime Minister for more than ten years, and I can be regarded as going through life and death. But now I am just a captain. Could it be that my ability is not as good as Yuan Shao, or does the Prime Minister think so?"

I am not as loyal as Yuan Shao and others!"

"That's right! Even if a traitor like Yuan Shao is not killed, he can still be a high-ranking official. I'm not convinced. You, the Prime Minister, are doing things unfairly!" Niu Fu shouted loudly!

Dong Zhuo saw the dissatisfied Xiliang military general and said angrily: "How outrageous!"

After being yelled at by Dong Zhuo, Niu Fu and others finally did not dare to shout anymore, and everyone looked at Dong Zhuo nervously!

Dong Zhuo then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Prime Minister and Wen He are discussing and handling government affairs. What the hell do you think? The official positions given to Yuan Shao and the others are not to reward them, but to help the Prime Minister suppress the Central Plains!"

Niu Fu whispered: "We can also help the Prime Minister suppress the Central Plains!"

Dong Zhuo looked at Niu Fu and said with a cold face: "I can't even defeat these powerful nobles. If you go to the Central Plains, you are not afraid of being beaten to death by them! You think you went to the Central Plains just to fight the Yellow Turban Army, and you have to find a way to get the powerful nobles in the Central Plains to hand over

In terms of taxes, the imperial court now maintains hundreds of thousands of troops and spends more than a billion dollars every month.

However, the income of the imperial court has been completely cut off since Yuan Shao and the others revolted, that is, they received 200 million yuan in the land of Sili, but this money is of no use. Although I have some money and food in my hands, according to the current spending of the imperial court

No matter how much money and food you have, I can't support you for two years. I want Yuan Shao to fight the Yellow Turban Army, which is secondary. Letting them steal the wealth of the noble families in the Central Plains is the real purpose. You can do such a thing!"

Li Jue confidently said: "Prime Minister, this kind of thing is not difficult. If you give me a county guard, I guarantee that I can hand over one billion yuan to the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "Turn it in like that fool Hu Zhen! You also want to massacre the powerful nobles in the Central Plains! Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Central Plains is in chaos now. Don't let me collect the corpses for you. If you dare

If you force the powerful clans of Guandong to rebel and cause chaos in the Central Plains, I will kill you first!"

Dong Zhuo's harsh words immediately shocked Niu Fu and others.

But Dong Zhuo had no choice. Of course he knew that saying such words would make his men dissatisfied, but if he didn't say it harshly, they would not know the seriousness of the matter.

When Hu Zhen massacred the noble families in Luoyang City, the entire Sili family was dissatisfied with him. The entire city of Luoyang was filled with people who wanted Dong Zhuo's death. At that time, the entire Xiliang army was in danger, and Dong Zhuo had hundreds of thousands in his hands.

People, but he did not dare to send troops to attack Yuan Shao!

Dong Zhuo was worried that as soon as he sent out troops, the powerful nobles of Sili would collude with Yuan Shao and cede the capital of Luoyang to Yuan Shao. Then Dong Zhuo and the others would really be homeless.

Dong Zhuo was also lucky. He discovered that the Sili nobles were afraid of Lei Gong, and used Lei Gong to suppress the Sili nobles' dissatisfaction with him. This gave Dong Zhuo a chance to turn defeat into victory! The Yellow Turban Army grew bigger in the Central Plains, and

The continuous slaughter of the noble families in the Central Plains forced the Kanto clan to surrender to Dong Zhuo. They wanted to use Dong Zhuo's strength to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains. It was precisely because of the two more vicious enemies of Lei Gong and the Yellow Turban Army that they could not

Do not suppress dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo.

After all, for the Kanto clan, Dong Zhuo did not massacre their relatives, but the Yellow Turban Army actually wiped out hundreds of their clans. Which one is more dangerous to them? This is an obvious thing for the Kanto clan!

But if Dong Zhuo's men massacre the nobles again in the Central Plains, the Kanto nobles will definitely regard Dong Zhuo as a gangster like the Yellow Turban Army. By then, Dong Zhuo's current good situation will be ruined, and the scholars in the world will no longer trust him.

he.

Dong Zhuo knew that all the officials and ministers in the court would not obey him. He, the great Han Dynasty minister, would not be able to continue to be the prime minister, and his power would fall apart, because it was impossible to support his 180,000-strong army with the land of Sili alone.

The Luoyang court had to rely on local blood transfusions!

But Niu Fu and others obviously couldn't understand Dong Zhuo. They only knew that they had gone through life and death for the country's prime minister, but their official positions were not as good as those of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were rebellious!

Dong Zhuo looked at the angry expressions of his subordinates and knew that he could not continue to suppress Niu Fu and the others. These people were his confidants and Dong Zhuo's base. If even they were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo would become

He became a loner. It is nothing for an emperor to become a loner, but if a powerful minister becomes a loner, it is extremely dangerous. Liang Ji is his role model!

So Dong Zhuo knew that he could not disappoint his confidants. After all, everyone went through life and death to get promoted and make money. Now Dong Zhuo has become the prime minister of the country with one person under ten thousand people. He is in charge of the affairs of the Han Dynasty and has all the power. But these people

The old brother who followed you to conquer the world is still standing still. Such things are useless no matter how high Dong Zhuo's prestige is!

So he looked at everyone and said: "You are all my confidants, how can I forget you? It's not that you don't have any rewards. It's just that you have to wait until Luoyang City to reward you. I can give you peace of mind now, each of you

They can all become generals, and at least they all have the title of Marquis of Guannei!"

After Dong Zhuo's generous reward, Niu Fu and others finally stopped saying unfair things, and instead all smiled. It was really difficult to become a marquis in the Han Dynasty. Even the Ling Emperor sold Guannei Marquis for 10 million yuan.

The above is just to a certain extent. This is also a very difficult thing. The entire Han Dynasty is qualified to buy it, and there are only a dozen people who can afford it at the same time!

The next day, Dong Zhuo found that Lei Gong's camp was deserted. After sending his scouting horses there, he discovered that Lei Gong and the others had already retreated overnight! This made Dong Zhuo and the others baffled. Even if Yu Du in the Central Plains was defeated, Lei Gong did not need to retreat overnight!

After a few more days, the news about Youzhou reached Dong Zhuo.

Only then did Dong Zhuo know that he had ordered Youzhou and Jizhou to mobilize the army to contain Lei Gong. Liu Yu not only mobilized the army, but also transferred the Sanggan River, the main road for transporting supplies of the Tengjia Army, to Tiesuo Hengjiang! This caused a fierce battle among the entire Tengjia Army.

In response, more than 100,000 Tengjia troops are currently mobilizing at Yanmen Pass, obviously wanting to attack Youzhou!
