In mid-August, Yuan Shao led an army of 10,000 to support Luoyang City. This made Wang Yun who stayed in Luoyang City very happy. He thought that Yuan Shao came to Luoyang City to serve the king, so he gave Yuan Shao some food and grass, hoping that Yuan Shao would march westward to support Chang'an City:
"Benchu, we must rescue His Majesty!"
But Yuan Shao told Wang Yun that the Tengjia Army had entered Hanoi County and his army could not leave, otherwise Hanoi County would be in danger and the entire city of Luoyang would also be in danger!
Wang Yun believed Yuan Shao's words and appointed Yuan Shao as Henan Yin. He himself led an army of 20,000 to support Chang'an City! In this way, Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang City effortlessly! At the same time, his confidants in Qingzhou also led an army of 20,000 to Luoyang City.
Support Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao not only occupied Luoyang City, but also had 40,000 troops in his hands, which greatly increased his power! For a time, Yuan Shao felt that destiny was surrounding him!
But Xu You warned Yuan Shao: "Benchu, now is not the time for us to relax. According to reports from our spies, the Tengjia Army in Bingzhou has been constantly mobilizing weapons and equipment and mobilizing these materials at the border of Jizhou. Now Sili is fighting
The war is raging, but the Tengjia Army has not moved. It is obvious that Lei Gong is eyeing Jizhou. After this autumn harvest, the Tengjia Army should occupy the entire territory of Jizhou. Once all the land in Hebei falls into the hands of Lei Gong, Lei Gong will no longer be lacking.
With enough food and grass, the strength of the Tengjia Army will grow rapidly.
Originally, occupying Luoyang was just the starting point for our hegemony. We are already much later than the Thunder Lord of the Tengjia Army. If we don't work hard to catch up, I'm afraid the world will really belong to Thunder Lord in the future!"
Xu You's words made Yuan Shao and his counselors look ugly! Especially the counselors around Yuan Shao. They were all from powerful noble families and were world-famous scholars and scholars. Even if they left Yuan Shao and went to the territories of other princes, they would be punished.
In terms of courtesy, it can be said that even if they change their surnames in this world, they will not be greatly affected, because as long as the world is still the world of noble families, their status will not be changed.
But Lei Gong is an exception. Since he raised his army, Lei Gong has been killing the powerful nobles to grow stronger. The Tengjia Army is naturally on the same side as the powerful nobles. It can be said that what Lei Gong did is to break the world of this powerful nobles. They can
I accept anyone to get this world, but I cannot accept Lei Gong to be the master of this world!
Xun Kan looked at Yuan Shao and said seriously: "What Ziyuan said is right. Our strength is too weak. Now we don't think of ways to expand our strength. When Jizhou is occupied and digested by Lei Gong, it will be our turn to face Lei Gong's army. If
If we cannot resist Thunder Lord's cavalry, the whole world will fall, and the noble families in the world will suffer heavy losses!"
"We must continue our western expedition to control Hangu Pass, Hongnong City, and even Chang'an City, occupy the entire Yanzhou to the east, and occupy the rich Yuzhou to the south! Only with these three states can our hegemony be considered complete! Only then can we resist
Stay away from Thunder Lord’s invasion of the Central Plains!”
Guo Tu worriedly said: "We currently have only 40,000 elites, but we want to attack in three directions at the same time and occupy the land of three states. If a python swallows an elephant, I'm afraid we won't be able to swallow it!"
Xu You said with a smile: "Now the army of Yanzhou has been brought to Guanzhong by Zhu Jun. Now that Lei Gong is about to attack Jizhou, I don't believe that the powerful nobles of Yanzhou will not worry about their own safety. I'm afraid they still want us to go.
Yanzhou protects them. Yuzhou is the hometown of Benchu. As long as we use the name of Benchu, there will be no obstacles in the land of Yuzhou! The only trouble is the Guanzhong area, where hundreds of thousands of troops are currently fighting.
, Our strength is not enough. But we can follow behind and watch the Xiliang army and the imperial army compete with each other, and we will be able to make a profit!"
Feng Ji smiled and said: "Zi Yuan said well, we will march to Chang'an City in the name of King Qin!"
So Yuan Shao, in the name of King Qin from the West, sent Jiang Jixi to conquer the rebellion in Xiliang, and there was a strong tendency that he would not come back unless he rescued Emperor Xian!
When Yuan Shao led his troops to the west, he also sent Guo Tu and his eldest son Yuan Xi to lead an army of 10,000 to Yuzhou. Their first stop was Yingchuan County. There were many clans in Yingchuan County, and Guo Tu's ability was
Yingchuan people, it can be said that this is his base camp. The nobles and nobles in Yingchuan have long been dissatisfied with Huba's Yuan Shu. Now that Yuan Benchu, the representative of the scholars and the world's model, is going to occupy Yingchuan County, everyone will naturally turn to Yuan Shao and abandon Yuan Shu.
, so Yingchuan County was easily occupied by Yuan Shao.
Runan County is the foundation of the Yuan Clan and the largest county in Yuzhou, with a population of more than two million. It can be said that everyone in Runan County is the disciples and former officials of the Yuan Clan. Originally, they sought refuge with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu led them
The main force attacked Liu Yao in Yangzhou, but there were not many troops left in Yuzhou.
However, Yuan Shu has done very poorly in Yuzhou in recent years, and it can even be said that he has made people angry, so he used the "Gao Min Order" in his own foundation. This is what Yuan Shu can do.
Therefore, even though Yuzhou is the foundation of the Yuan family, there are still many people who oppose Yuan Shu. Moreover, when the imperial court issued the edict of King Qin, Yuan Shu not only did not go to Chang'an City, but instead attacked Liu Yao, a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
They are all disciples and former officials of the Yuan family, but everyone is still dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's behavior!
When Yuan Tan and Guo Tu came to Yuzhou, the disciples and former officials of the Yuan family found out that they had other choices, so they all gave up their support for Yuan Shu! When the prefect of Runan County saw Yuan Tan's arrival, he was already
Dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, he directly defected to Yuan Shao! Yuan Tan easily occupied Runan County, which had a population of more than two million.
Then Yuan Tan led the army to attack Chen Guo. Although Chen Guoxiang was Yuan Shu's confidant, Chen Guo was all disciples and former officials of the Yuan family. They could be loyal to Yuan Shu, and naturally they could be loyal to Yuan Shao. However, Yuan Shu was unpopular, so even if
Chen Guoxiang wanted to resist Yuan Tan's army, but the people below opened the city gate and let Yuan Tan enter Chen Guo.
So Yuan Tan effortlessly captured the state of Chen, which had a population of more than 1.5 million! The three largest counties in Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Runan and Chen state were all captured by Yuan Tan, which declared the entire Yuzhou to be a state.
Yuan Shao's territory!
Yuan Shu, who had just conquered Jiujiang County, had not yet recovered from the excitement and worry of expanding his territory when he heard his subordinates reporting that Yuan Shao had taken away his hometown. The entire Yuzhou changed color and planted Yuan Shao's flag!
Yuan Shu said angrily: "Yuan Benchu, do you think I'm easy to bully? Gather an army for me. I'm going to kill Yuan Shao!"
So Yuan Shu turned his army to attack Yuzhou!
August 20th, Jixian!
Today's Jixian is cheerful and lively! A large number of chefs are cooking here, and the air is filled with the fragrance of the food. The city is crowded with people, and everyone on the street is smiling.
"Zhang Ning was the one who taught us how to put on makeup, but now it's my turn to put on makeup for you!" The fat Song Shuang kept helping Zhang Ning dress up and put on powder!
Xu Juan also laughed and said: "Sure enough, the bride is the most beautiful! We will call her Mrs. Zhang Ning from now on!"
Song Shuang pursed her lips and smiled and said: "No, our Qu Shuai will be the emperor in the future, and Zhang Ning, you will be the queen in the future! We will call her Her Royal Highness the Queen!"
Zhang Ning smiled helplessly: "These are all things that have no shadow, what are you talking about!"
Zhang Ning and Xu Wei have finally come to fruition. They originally said they wanted to get married last year, but when Liu Yu blocked the state, the Tengjia Army had to open up the Sanggan River waterway. This battle took more than half a year to get married.
Things were naturally put aside. After capturing Youzhou, they had to prepare for the war in Jizhou. Xu Wei originally wanted to postpone the matter until after capturing Jizhou.
But Old Man Wang and the others couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the power of the Tengjia Army was getting bigger and bigger, they had already occupied two states. Their leader actually didn't even have a descendant, not even a wife. How could this make them feel at ease!
So Old Man Wang and the others decided to get Zhang Ning and Xu Wei married before the autumn harvest!
Xu Juan looked at Zhang Ning who had finished dressing up and said with a smile: "Beautiful, Qu Shuai will definitely be fascinated by you!"
On the other side, the members of the Tengjia Army gathered together, laughing and joking. Everyone was very willing to Xu Wei's marriage, and even felt relieved. Their career was getting bigger and bigger, and the only flaw was that Xu Wei
This leader has no descendants, which makes them worry that there will be no heirs to their business. Now that Xu Wei has married Zhang Ning, I think they will soon have a successor for General Tengjia!
Within the Jixian government office, Zhang Baiqi, Niu Laohan, Wang Laohan, Wang Ge, Wang Yong, Duan Peng, Li Gang and other senior officials of the Tengjia Army, Yang Feng, Wang Dang, Sun Qing, Guo Tai and other Yellow Turban Army generals,
We usually rarely see each other from different parts of the world, but this time we were able to reunite just to have a drink and talk!
Everyone is a senior member of the Tengjia Army, and while chatting, they talked about the current situation in the Han Dynasty!
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "This is really a blessing for our Tengjia Army. The 300,000 elite Central Army of the Han Dynasty are killing each other. When they are finished, I am afraid that there will no longer be a force in the world that can resist our Tengjia Army!"
Wang Ge came to Xu Wei and said: "Commander Qu, it would be a pity not to attack Sili now. The Xiliang army and Yang Biao are in a group. We only need to send 50,000 troops. Not to mention occupying the entire Sili, but also
You can occupy Hedong, Hanoi and Luoyang City. As long as you occupy these three places, it will be much easier for Sili to fight in the future!"
Xu Wei said angrily: "Don't look at the territory of our Tengjia Army. It is almost over ten thousand miles from east to west. If Luoyang City is conquered, our territory will become a long snake. It is not only difficult to manage, but also difficult to manage."
Vulnerable to Han attack!"
Huang Long said: "We have been preparing to attack Jizhou. Changing the direction of the attack rashly is not a good thing for us. And compared to Qisili, I think Jizhou is more important to our Tengjia Army. As long as we conquer it
Jizhou, food will no longer be the shortcoming of our Tengjia Army! Moreover, by capturing Jizhou, our territory will not only be connected, but also deepen the hinterland. No matter how you look at it, occupying Jizhou is better than Sili!"
At this time, Old Man Wang said seriously: "Today is Qu Shuai's happy day. Don't talk about these official matters. There will be plenty of time to talk about it in the future!"
The old man Niu looked at the sky and said: "The good time has arrived, let's go pick up the bride!"
The day and hour of the wedding were all divined and calculated by Xiangkai himself, and they were said to be auspicious days.
Xu Wei and the others rode horses to Zhang Ning's residence, picked her up in a sedan chair, and drove her around Jixian County. The entire Jixian County was filled with red flags, and the streets were full of spectators. Although the Tengjia Army occupied
It took less than half a year for Jixian County to divide the land, except for the powerful, and quickly gained the support of the people of Youzhou. Therefore, everyone sincerely wished Xu Wei and the newlyweds, and then the bride was taken to the government office of Jixian County by Xu Wei!
Then Xu Wei came out to socialize with everyone and said, "Let's all eat well and drink well. We won't go home until we're drunk!"
Everyone shouted: "Today is Qu Shuai's big day, of course we have to stay drunk!"
Nowadays, everyone in the Tengjia Army is short of food, and there are not many opportunities to eat and drink. For this banquet, Xu Wei hosted the entire people of Jixian County. It can be said that the scene was very lively!
In the evening, everyone sang a few blessing songs and then left with laughter, leaving the whole space completely to the newlyweds.
At this time, Xu Wei was relieved. Today's set of procedures was more tiring than fighting. Xu Wei didn't want to go through it again.
The candles in the new house are very bright. Under the candlestick, there is a red lacquer tray with a pair of long chopsticks plated with gold, a small wine bottle, and a pair of exquisite mandarin duck cups. There is exactly one pair on the left and right, Zhang
Ning is sitting on this bed!
Xu Wei used gold chopsticks to lift the red hijab, and suddenly Zhang Ning's beautiful round face appeared! Zhang Ning was already good-looking, but today she was even more beautiful in new clothes. Looking at Zhang Ning, Xu Wei was stunned for a moment!
"Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you something to eat right away!" From the time he entered the new house, he didn't eat anything for a long time. This wedding was even more of a torture for the woman.
Zhang Ning smiled and said: "I ate in advance, so I'm not hungry now!"
Xu Wei complained: "This set of etiquette is too torturous. I don't believe that our ancestors would have had such trouble getting married in the beginning!"
Zhang Ning said with a smile: "This is the rule set by our ancestors. This is to make everyone pay attention to marriage, and at the same time, it also allows the two families to get to know each other. How can you say it is tiring!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Ning said sadly: "It's a pity that there are no more people in my family. They can't see today's scene!"
Basically, Zhang Ning's family members died at the hands of the Han army, and his father Zhang Niujiao also died on the battlefield. Today, only the uncles of the Yellow Turban Army are present, not her relatives!
Xu Wei hugged him and said, "I have no relatives in this world. From now on, we will be a family!"
Zhang Ning nodded, his sad expression finally softening a little!
"Bang!" The red wax jumped, splashing a few sparks. Xu Wei hugged his beautiful wife, and the warm scenery of the new house unknowingly made Xu Wei's blood flow faster. It was too fast to stop, and he couldn't contain the desire in his heart.
.
"Ouch——!" Xu Wei suddenly felt hot all over his body.
