The next day, Huangfu Li came to the camp of the Xiliang Army and said to Hu Zhen and others: "Wen Cai and Lei Gong attacked Jizhou, but it is great news for you. As long as you are willing to appease, the imperial court will not hold you accountable for what it has done to you.
!There are not many opportunities like this!”
Hu Zhen sneered and said: "Yang Biao and the others killed the Prime Minister, and we also massacred all Yang Biao's disciples and former officials in Guanzhong. You said that the court will let bygones be bygones for what we did in the past, and Yang Biao and the others will also let bygones be bygones, Zhang Wen, Wang
If you allow them to let go of the past, Zhongde, you don’t think we are fools, do you?”
Huangfu Li was surprised and said: "Do you still want to continue fighting with the imperial court?"
Han Sui immediately said: "Dong Guofang can agree to let me become the governor of Xiliang for the first time. As long as the court agrees to this appointment, I am willing to lead troops back to Xiliang!"
Ma Teng also said: "There is also my Zhonglang General who protects the Qiang. I am loyal to the court. When the court asked me to attack the Tengjia Army, I led the army to attack it. I deserve the position of Zhonglang General."
of!"
After hearing what Han Sui and Ma Teng said, Huangfu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two men had an army of nearly 50,000, which was half the strength of the Xiliang Allied Forces. If they did not want to continue the fight, it would be a huge benefit to the court.
News!
So he said: "I will report your request to the imperial court, and the imperial court should agree to this appointment. It is not impossible for you to continue to make contributions. Now that the imperial court is fighting with the Tengjia Army, if you lead troops to attack Bingzhou, as long as you have
The imperial court will definitely not be stingy with rewards for the results of the battle!"
Ma Teng was still thinking about whether to help the imperial court, but Han Sui immediately grabbed Ma Teng and said: "Xiaguan's men have been away from Xiliang for more than half a year. The soldiers are all homesick, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to help the imperial court!
"
Just kidding! Thunder Lord is so easy to fight! If Thunder Lord is really angered, hundreds of thousands of troops will rush into Xiliang and they will be finished!
Not to mention that they have been fighting with the imperial court for half a year. At this time, they are helping the imperial court to defeat Thunder God. If the imperial court stabs him in the back, then he will be finished!
As a 10-year-old rebel, Han Sui took his own safety very seriously and would not entrust his safety to others. This is why Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou at the same time
They were all dead, but the reason why he was the only one alive and well! It was because of this caution! If Han Sui hadn't thought that he still needed Ma Teng's help this time, he wouldn't have cared about Ma Teng's life or death!
When Ma Teng was pulled by Han Sui, he also remembered his own situation. Especially this time, all his subordinates were robbing a lot of money. None of them wanted to fight anymore. Ma Teng had no choice but to say with shame: "My general's generals
It’s the same thing, I can’t help the court this time!”
Although Huangfu Li was disappointed, he also understood that for the current court, if they returned to Xiliang, it would be a big help to the court!
Then Huangfu Li looked at Niu Fu and the others and asked, "What do you think now?"
Niu Fu said: "As long as the court does not continue to pursue us, we will return to Xiliang!"
Huangfu Li nodded and said: "Don't worry, the imperial court has no ability to hunt you down now. If we can't repel Thunder Lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court in the future!"
Huangfu Li was also very worried about the situation in Jizhou. Lei Gong's offensive was overwhelming, but the imperial court couldn't even send a single support force. It was lucky for the imperial court that Lei Gong stopped in Hebei. If Lei Gong accidentally entered the Central Plains, the consequences would be
Huangfu Li couldn't even imagine it!
Hu Zhen said: "I want to take refuge with Liu Bei. He is the real warrior. I feel safe in his hands!"
Hu Zhen's words made Huangfu Li very happy. After all, it was not a gain at all. Hu Zhen had about 20,000 men, which was quite a force, especially since Liu Bei only had less than 30,000 troops in Chang'an City, and now he has annexed it.
Hu Zhen has 50,000 subordinates, which has surpassed Yuan Shao in terms of strength!
After learning about the movements of the Xiliang army, Huangfu Li reported to Liu Bei: "The Xiliang army has no intention to fight anymore. As long as the imperial court does not pursue them, they will withdraw from Xiliang on their own! And Hu Zhen also wants to join the general. In this way
The imperial court can be considered as taking back 20,000 soldiers, so it does not mean that there is no gain at all!"
Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied and said: "They are really getting an advantage! The whole Guanzhong has been beaten to pieces by them. They have become local rich people one by one and go to Xiliang to enjoy their fortunes. We still have to clean up this mess in Guanzhong!"
Niu Fu and others plundered the noble families, but the people in Guanzhong also suffered greatly. Now there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Guanzhong alone. In order to maintain the 200,000-strong army for the war, the imperial court almost used all the food and grass that Dong Zhuo had worked hard to accumulate over the years.
The rest of the food, grass and money were also robbed during the turmoil and are now missing. It can be said that the wealth Dong Zhuo accumulated over the years has been consumed due to this mutiny. Now Liu Bei and the others want to resettle the refugees.
It was very difficult, with no money and no food, but they still had to find ways to support Jizhou. The current crisis in the court kept Liu Bei awake at night!
Guan Yu bumped into Zhang Fei and told him to stop talking nonsense!
Then he said: "Brother, judging from the current situation of the imperial court, it is obvious that it does not have the ability to resettle these hundreds of thousands of refugees. It is better to resettle them all in Nanjun. The area there is open and suitable for farming, and we have also laid a good foundation.
There is a lack of food to resettle refugees! He and farming tools, Xianhe is even more experienced in farming, the people of Guanzhong will live a good life in Nanjun!"
Zhang Fei immediately followed and said: "Yes, if we transport food from Nanjun to Guanzhong, I am afraid that three stones of food will cost two stones on the way. It is better to let these refugees go to Nanjun, which will save food more!"
But at this time Yuan Ji said: "For us now, the most important thing is not to resettle the refugees, but to return to Chang'an City to control the power of the court! If the court and His Majesty are controlled by Yang Biao and the others again, what our King Qin has done
What’s the point of all this?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuan Shao led an army of 30,000 to serve the king, and all the civil and military officials headed by Yang Biao regarded Yuan Shao as the savior of the imperial court, which made Yuan Ji jealous and resentful.
He is the eldest son of the Yuan family, and everything in the Yuan family should belong to him, but now his disciples, former officials, power, wealth, and even the family have all been taken away by Yuan Shao, the bastard, and Yuan Shu, the youngest son.
Especially when Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu formed the Kwantung Allied Forces, they almost killed him. All this made Yuan Ji and Yuan Shao become irreconcilable. Now he simply cannot accept Yuan Shao's control of the Han Dynasty! Because in his opinion, this is Yuan Shao's power.
Steal his rights!
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at the excited Yuan Ji in surprise. Yuan Ji was always calm and calm, and they rarely saw him so excited.
But when they thought about Yuan Shao entering Chang'an City and being welcomed by the entire court, they somewhat understood Yuan Ji's excitement. From now on, Yuan Ji has fallen behind in the competition for the head of the Yuan family. He is now only Liu Bei's boss.
In the power system of the Han Dynasty, this can only be regarded as a low-ranking official, and Yuan Shao has become the Henan Yin of the imperial court. There are even rumors that the imperial court wants to recommend Yuan Shao to become a cavalry general, which is far better than Yuan Ji's official connections.
Falling behind Yuan Shao, not even as good as Yuan Shu!
Liu Bei said seriously: "It is important to save people now, and Lei Gong is still attacking Jizhou. This is not the time for internal strife in the court!"
Yuan Ji said: "It is precisely because of the current crisis in the court that Yang Biao and others cannot continue to control the military power of the Han Dynasty. Yang Biao and the others are too selfish and do not understand military affairs. The biggest disaster to the Han Dynasty is that the court is controlled by them. I
Although that little brother has high prestige, he has suffered repeated defeats in the past few years and has no military talent at all. General, can you trust him to deal with Lei Gong?"
"The general should unite with the Shangshu Ling to seize the power of the imperial court and drive Yuan Shao out of Sili. This way the general can deal with Lei Gong with peace of mind and at the same time promote the general's political ambitions throughout the Han Dynasty!"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Yuan Shao is a defeated general. My eldest brother really can't let them control the imperial army. He will only kill Lei Gong!"
Guan Yu worriedly said: "When we were under King Qin, Yuan Shao had already controlled Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and even half of Sili was controlled by Yuan Shao. He had nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. If we really want to drive Yuan Shao out of Chang'an City,
I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will turn against the imperial court! The imperial court will fall into turmoil again, and now Lei Gong is unstoppable in Jizhou. If we continue to have internal strife, we may lose more than just Jizhou!"
Yuan Shao is ambitious and Liu Bei and others all know that it is impossible for him to surrender to Liu Bei just because Liu Bei has the power of the Han Dynasty. The greater possibility is to create another Kwantung coalition force to deal with Liu Bei like Dong Zhuo, or even just rely on now
With Yuan Shao's strength, if he concentrates his forces on the defense of Yin, Henan, it will be difficult for Liu Bei's army to break through Luoyang City! Especially when Lei Gong is still eyeing him, he and Yuan Shao will have internal strife, and the Han Dynasty will be completely ruined!
Yuan Ji thought for a while and said: "General, now that Guanzhong is in dilapidated condition and there are hundreds of thousands of refugees, it is obviously difficult to serve as the capital of the Han Dynasty. And Luoyang City is in Yuan Shao's hands. If the imperial court is moved back to Luoyang City, I'm afraid your Majesty will
Both the government and the imperial court will be controlled by Yuan Shao and the others, which is too unfavorable for us.
Moreover, Luoyang City is still under the sword of Lei Gong. Now Jizhou will fall sooner or later. Lei Gong's next target will probably be Sili, and the court will be under Lei Gong's blade. It is better to let the emperor temporarily use Wan County as his
The capital of the Han Dynasty, Nanyang is the imperial hometown, and there are loyal people of the Han Dynasty everywhere, and Nanyang County is also one of the few places in the Han Dynasty that has not suffered from war. It can be said that Wancheng is the most suitable place to become the capital of the Han Dynasty! "
Liu Bei was a little moved when he heard this. After all, when he arrived in Nanyang County, he was going to his territory, and with the current situation of chaos in the Han Dynasty, he really couldn't find a more prosperous place than Nanyang County, especially since Nanyang County was far away.
If the Emperor takes the territory of Thunder Lord to Nanyang County, although it will allow Yuan Shao to completely occupy Sili, it will also make Yuan Shao the emperor's barrier against Thunder Lord. When the time comes, Yuan Shao himself does not want to be annexed by Thunder Lord, and he will try his best to fight with Thunder Lord.
Thunder Lord fights.
He even wants to please himself in Jingzhou. It can be said that as long as the capital of the Han Dynasty is moved to Nanyang County, the current embarrassing situation of the court will be improved immediately!
Of course, it is not without its flaws. It has been less than a year since the imperial court moved its capital to Chang'an City, and it has to be moved again. This is a huge blow to the prestige of the imperial court! Moreover, each time the capital is moved, a lot of manpower and material resources are consumed, which is also a big blow to the current imperial court.
A huge expense!
More importantly, Liu Bei does not have such a high prestige, and his relationship with the nobles and nobles is even worse than Dong Zhuo. And because Liu Bei is a gentleman, the civil and military officials in the court are not afraid of Liu Bei acting like Dong Zhuo. Instead, they
He was not as afraid of Liu Bei as he was of Dong Zhuo, so it was difficult for the civil and military officials to agree to the move of the capital, especially to Liu Bei's territory!
Zhao Yun, who had been silent at this time, said: "Lei Gong has more than 200,000 cavalry. If the capital of the Han Dynasty is still in Sili, even if Luoyang has eight levels of defense, we will quickly prevent Lei Gong's army from sweeping the Central Plains, especially Lei Gong.
We can surround Luoyang City. When Lei Gong uses Luoyang City as a threat, we will have to send a large army to support Luoyang City, but Luoyang City is surrounded by plains. Our King Qin’s army will probably fall under Lei Gong’s iron cavalry!”
Now that Lei Gong has the advantage, it is impossible for us to defeat Lei Gong in a short time. Instead, we must continue to accumulate the advantages of the imperial court. We can still train the infantry, but the gap between the cavalry imperial court and the Tengjia Army is too big.
To the point where it is irreparable.
And if the capital is in the south, it can weaken the advantage of Lei Gong's cavalry. If Nanjun is not remote, and the subordinates think that the capital of the Han Dynasty should be moved to Xiangyang City, with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, most of Lei Gong's cavalry will be useless! We can train the navy and Lei Gong.
Fight, then we will have the advantage!"
Zhao Yun was able to explain the advantages of moving the capital to Nanyang County in terms of location!
And Liu Bei was really moved, because the Tengjia Army was so powerful that Liu Bei didn't even know how to defeat them, but now Zhao Yun gave him an idea! They could defeat them in what the Tengjia Army was least good at.
Local victory over the Fujijia Army!
For Liu Bei and the others, the most troublesome thing about the Tengjia Army is that they have hundreds of thousands of cavalry. This advantage is so great that it is difficult for the entire Central Plains to resist the Tengjia Army's offensive. This has never happened in the past dynasties.
Things, the Central Plains dynasty could not afford to raise so many cavalry, especially in troubled times. Historically, Cao Cao occupied 10 states in the Han Dynasty, but he could only raise tens of thousands of cavalry. Armored cavalry like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were too expensive.
, was even abandoned by Cao Pi in the later period. From this we can see how difficult it was for the Central Plains Dynasty to raise cavalry.
Only the Hu people have so many cavalry, but it is difficult for the Hu cavalry to attack the Central Plains (at least in the historical line of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people have not yet penetrated deep into the territory of the Han Dynasty!) Moreover, the Hu people are not good at attacking cities, and their equipment is even worse.
