Chapter 169 Comfort Yingchuan

Chunyu Qiong said: "It's okay. Our army already has four counties in Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Yangwu and Yuanling. As long as our army is in charge of Changshe and Yanling counties in Yingchuan, we will take the rear of the Weishi Gonggu in Chenliu. We will join forces with the prefect of Yingchuan Li Min, and call on the gentry and wealthy families in Yingchuan County to drive Dong together and gradually advance westward. Even if there are many cavalry in Xiliang, we will be unable to do anything."

Judging from the evaluation in history, Huang Zhong's ability is naturally stronger than Chunyu Qiong, but He Bai felt that what Chunyu Qiong said was not bad at this time. He Bai couldn't help but laugh at himself in secret. Believing Chunyu Qiong's opinion, it seems that it is not much worse than Yuan Shao in history.

He Bai then set up a large army to go south to Changshe, first communicating with Changshe, who was in a troubled city, and expressed his desire to help him defend the city. Changshe was overjoyed. Without waiting for the consent of Yingchuan Prefect Li Min, he accepted He Bai's army into the city with Zhong's family.

The Zhong family of Changshe is the family of Zhong Yao, a famous man from the Three Kingdoms. Zhong Yao has now been taken to Chang'an, and only his younger brother Zhong Yan guards the clan. He Bai heard that Zhong Yan once served as the head of Yingchuan, but did not serve because of the party and imprisonment. He thought that his abilities were as few as the county magistrate, and as many as the prefect. He Bai, who was short of first-level talents in the prefect, is worth winning over.

With He Bai's eager request, Zhong Yannian and He Bai's kindness to protect his hometown finally agreed. However, this relationship is still considered a relationship between the host and the host, and cannot be considered a subordinate. But He Bai was also extremely satisfied. With the first one, are you still afraid that there will be no second one? Yingchuan has many talents, and one day you will be able to all bend down.

Then, He Bai asked Zhong Yan to be the envoy to communicate with Li Min, the prefect of Yingchuan who retreated to Xu County. Li Min, who was defeated in Yingyang at the same time with Kong Yichang, heard that He Bai's 30,000 troops arrived, and shouted, "The sky will not abandon Yingchuan." He hurriedly led a hundred cavalry from Xu County to Changshe to meet him.

As soon as he saw He Bai, Li Min said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. He, for sending a large army to rescue me. Since the defeat of Yingyang's army, hundreds of thousands of people in Yingchuan were like boiling water, and there were beads everywhere, and corpses could be seen everywhere. When Mr. He came, he was like a firewood under a cauldron to remove the fire and stop the boiling fire. I hope Mr. He would help me with the responsibility of Yingchuan."

Li Min hopes to help him protect the country and the people, and he has a more subordinate meaning in terms of love and friendship. Seeing Yingyang's defeat, He Bai was secretly happy. With the subordinate of Yingchuan Prefect Li Min, the scholar who recruited Yingchuan to be called the Dong, I believe it would be easy.

He Bai asked, "Jun Li, I don't know what happened and lost the Yingyang army. How many soldiers and horses are available in Yingchuan County? What is the military situation of the Xiliang army? Please tell me in detail."

Li Min sighed, "At first, the envoy Kong, responded to the call of Cao Mengde and Qiao Yuanwei to attack Dong, and last year he vigorously summoned the troops in the state, and all 35,000 troops came to Yingchuan to capture the three passes of Dagu, Xuanyuan and Yique. I was inspired by the loyal and patriotic spirit of Confucius, and also led the 5,000 county soldiers of this county and the 5,000 county soldiers sent by Runan to follow the envoy Kong. However, unfortunately, the envoy of Xiliang was attacked by Li Jue and Guo Si, and lost ten thousand people one after another. As a last resort, the envoy Kong led his troops to retreat to Yangdi to guard the enemy."

"I have been stalemate with the thieves for more than a month, and they were all at peace. However, ten days ago, the two thieves Li and Guo were heading straight to Yangdi, and there were also Xiliang thieves Xu Rong and the two thieves Li Meng rushed out of Xuanyuan Pass and went to Xinzheng, which meant to cut off Yingyang. Kong Envoy was frightened and ordered me to lead 5,000 troops to guard Yangdi and lead a large army to rescue Yingyang. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded by 20,000 thieves and cavalry in Xiliang. The entire army was destroyed. Kong Envoy fled alone. However, Kong Envoy fell ill because of this defeat and had been sent back to Pei State to rest."

"The defeat of 30,000 troops was almost completely damaged. Even if there were soldiers who fled, it was afraid that it would be difficult to gather and use them. I was trapped in the lonely city and had to abandon Yangdi and transfer to Xu County, hoping to get help from Chen Wang Chong, the garrison of Chen Guoyangxia, and Liu Yi and Liu Zi, the prefect of Runan. However, the two counties are at the moment, but they cannot leave the county. I was in a panic, but fortunately, Mr. He came. Now there are only five thousand soldiers and horses available in Yingchuan County. If Mr. He helps me to stabilize the Yingchuan County, I can recruit another 10,000 troops to support Mr. He to attack Dong."

"As for the military situation of the Xiliang army, please forgive me. There are wars everywhere in Yingchuan County, and I don't know how many counties there are still in the seventeen counties in the county. I don't know the movements of the Xiliang bandits. However, I heard that the Xiliang bandits Li Meng and his family seemed to have broken into Chenliu County, and now they are robbing in the areas of Weishi, Fugou, Wuxian, Yongqiu and Xiangyi. I think the three thieves of Li Jue, Guo Si and Xu Rong are still in Yingchuan County."

He Bai had no impression of Kong Yichang's defeat, and did not know if there was such defeat in history. I think it should have happened. Otherwise, Yuzhou would not have become a homeless place and had no popular place to protect itself. It seems that Kong Yichang's death was half a year, just when Sun Jian went north after the autumn, when Sun Jian was recommended to Yuan Shu as the new governor of Yuzhou.

As for the support of tens of thousands of troops that Li Min said, He Bai did not believe at all. After the plunder and massacre of the Western Liang army, it is unknown how much control Li Min still has over the entire Yingchuan County. Could it be that tens of thousands of troops be summoned? Even if it is summoned, what can the hasty army do? After all, Li Min is just making a blank check. His purpose is to ask himself to drive away the Western Liang army.

He Bai smiled and said, "I came here to eliminate the Xiliang thief army and stabilize the Yingchuan county. Li Jun does not need to worry, and I am deeply grateful for Li Jun's loyalty and righteousness. However, the people of Yingchuan suffered a tragic disaster, and it is time to rest and rest. I don't think it is necessary to recruit the army. If I can provide food and wages and manpower assistance, I will be grateful. If there is too little grain in Yingchuan, I will ask Li Jun to ask me for some food and grass in Runan, and I am willing to buy it at a fair price."

Li Min was overjoyed and said in a touching voice: "Thank you, Mr. He, for your righteousness. Li Min is very grateful. But when Li Min needs him, he will go through fire and water."

After receiving the help of Li Min, He Bai completely gained a foothold in Changshe. He Bai first sent 300 martial blood cavalry four times to inquire about the situation of the various troops in Xiliang. Then he sent Huang Zhong and Fu Xing to lead 10,000 troops to the Weishi in Chenliu County, Fugu, and must occupy the two cities, and try to force Li Meng's troops back to Yingchuan from Chenliu. He led the army south to Yingyin with Li Min, and used Yingyin as a stronghold, and first cleaned up and integrated the six counties in the eastern part of Yingchuan.

Yangdi City, Yingchuan, has a huge city with a daily household registration of tens of thousands and a population of 50,000 or 60,000. Now it is almost ruined. In the city, except for thousands of Xiliang Qiang cavalry with fishy and strange Hu's voice, there are only thousands of young and strong women with beautiful faces and used for lust and pleasure, as well as their families who use their own bodies to protect themselves.

Others were either slaughtered or fled from this place of sin. They were left alone, with numbness, like walking corpses, and their families who were full of humiliation and slavery, would never be able to stand up as human beings.

They will never forget that day. The governor of Yuzhou led his troops away, and the prefect of Yingchuan led his troops away. In the end, even the magistrate of Yangdi County abandoned the city and fled. The old tribes in the city opened the city gates to welcome the evil thieves in Xiliang, hoping to get the understanding of the evil thieves. However, what they were welcomed was the blood-devouring greedy eyes of the evil thieves and the spears raised high.

In one day, a huge city of 50,000 or 60,000 people flowed into a river of blood. Except for thousands of smart people who escaped the Shura slaughter field, tens of thousands of officials and civilians were almost gone. If they hadn't stood up and used their bodies to please and kill the tired evil thieves in Xiliang, I'm afraid that the entire Yangdi City would have become a dead land at this time.

The Xiliang Army Captain Li Jue and Guo Si were drinking and having fun in a magnificent and tall mansion in the city. This mansion was the mansion of the rich man surnamed Cheng. I heard that it was the family of Mrs. Cheng, the wet nurse of the late emperor Ling Emperor. Seeing Li Jue, Guo Si and others led their troops in, they were still furious and ordered their servants to drive away the two. Unexpectedly, Guo Si became more and more arrogant and killed all the Cheng clans and occupied them.

Li Jue and Guo Si were born in the village, and they were mostly Qiang, and they were routinely killed and robbed. Since 20 years of following Dong Zhuo, they have fought no less than a hundred battles and killed no less than tens of thousands. They can be called brave generals who have been fighting for the rest of their lives. Li Jue loves money and is good at making plans, while Guo Si is lustful and good at fighting. The two can be said to be a brave general.

In the battle a dozen days ago, Li Jue and Guo Si were helped by Xu Rong and Li Mengzhi, and annihilated most of the 30,000 troops in Yuzhou in one fell swoop, breaking the encirclement of Dong Zhuo by the Kanto Alliance, and making great contributions. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard about it and intended to hand over all the tens of thousands of troops summoned before He Jin's death to the two. The two led the army and sent the emperor and officials to move westward, shocking Huangfu Song, who was leading the army in Xiliang at this time to suppress the rebellion.

Although the positions of the two have not changed, their power and responsibilities have increased greatly. Each person can lead at least 20,000 troops, which is no less than that of the immediate boss and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

The five generals under Dong Zhuo were Niu Fu, Dong Yue and Hu Zhen as their direct descendants, Yang Ding was the Lord of Liangzhou, and Duan Wei was the clan brother of the former Taiwei Duan Jin. Although Yang Ding and Duan Wei were Dong Zhuo's subordinates, their subordinates had their own system and Dong Zhuo could not interfere at will.

The three generals of Niu Fu, Dong Yue and Hu Zhen are the most trustworthy and close to Dong Zhuo. Since entering Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has taken Niu Fu as the seven schools of Xiyuan, Dong Yue as the five schools of the Northern Army, and Hu Zhen as the southern army as the Luoyang city soldiers. Although he has not been promoted to a heavy position, a discerning person can see that the power of the three is beyond the reach of the heavens.

During this rebellion in Guandong, Dong Zhuo sent his commanders to fight, in order to consider and promote the commanders. Fortunately, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Jue, and Guo Si made great contributions in the north, so they were all valued.

Now Li Jue and Guo Si will return to Luoyang, and Yingchuan will be handed over to Xu Rong and Li Meng. Therefore, the two gathered in Yangdi to celebrate the final celebration.

"Report the lord, the lieutenant Guo, and the Sima sent a messenger to report. The Changshe army headed south to the east, and the banner was General Zhaode and the Prime Minister of the North Sea He Bai. According to the provost, He Bai had sent 10,000 people to Chenliu, as if he was intending to conquer Li Meng. He led a large army of 20,000 to the south, as if he was intending to conquer Xu Rong, as if he was interested in conquer Xu Rong. Li Sima asked, how will our army deal with it?"

Li Jie has many relatives, so the main generals under his command are mostly children of the clan, and the army has a strong cohesion. Li Ying Sima is Li Jie's confidant.

Before Li Jue could answer, Guo Si got up and shouted, "Huh? Another 30,000 stupid thieves from Guandong are coming? See if I personally lead the Iron Guard to destroy him."
