For example, it only took five days between He Jin's death and Dong Zhuo's dethronement, so people often ignore the fact that the Yuan family once held power.
For another example, since the rise of the Kwantung Allied Forces, Dong Zhuo had the idea of moving the capital. It only took him half a month to make up his mind, and he quickly completed the move in more than two months, which resulted in numerous casualties among the soldiers and civilians. As a result, many people
I instinctively thought that the Kwantung Allied Forces had achieved a tactical victory, forcing Dong Zhuo to do so as a last resort.
But in fact this was not the case. This process with endless consequences was completely in Dong Zhuo's hands, and he took the initiative.
In the original history, when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, almost all the Kwantung Allied Forces sat idly by. Although there were people like Cao Cao and Sun Jian who wanted to make a difference, they were unable to intervene at all. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo completed the capital move and returned.
The generals in Henan were controlled by remote control to take the initiative, and the two sides began to officially fight, but Dong Zhuo still won on three sides!
So back to the present, even though the arrival of Gongsun Xun put great military pressure on Guanzhong and Hongnong, Dong Zhuo's tribes in Henan were still hanging up and beating the heroes of Guandong!
Of course, to be fair, being hung up and beaten does not mean anything, nor does it mean anything!
No one knows how to fight from the beginning, from these heroes of Guandong to their soldiers. They just lose a few battles, die a few people, and experience some desperate situations. Then with the intelligence of these people and the population and wealth of Guandong, they will soon
Can learn how to fight, how to lead an army, and then become stronger and better at fighting than their opponents!
But then again, maybe many years later, these heroes will feel lucky that they learned these things so early, but back to the present, back to the beginning, this process can't help but be frustrating for the people involved.
By the way, Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande have made no progress outside Hulao Pass for two full months. This is really not their fault, because it's not that they don't want to fight, but that they can't command the various princes in the Jujube Alliance, so facing
How can Cao and Liu, who each have only a few thousand soldiers, fight against a dangerous pass like Hulao Pass?!
A place like Hulao Pass... Of course, just as Tongguan was called Taolinsai at this time, it could also be called Sishui Pass or Xuanmen Pass... In short, this place is surrounded by the Songshan Mountains to the south and the Yellow River to the north.
Behind you is the important town of Chenggao, and in front of you is the Si River. It is really not something that can be captured easily.
Not to mention anything else, because the Sishui River lies in front of the pass, you can't even deploy your troops and horses, and you can't even climb the city with ants. So how are you going to fight?
So, last winter, Lu Bu crossed the river to fight Yuan Shao, and Cao and Liu watched the snowstorm together outside Hulao Pass; Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and Cao and Liu watched the floods together outside Hulao Pass; Gongsun Xun penetrated Bingzhou and arrived at
In Hedong, Cao and Liu watched the peach blossoms together outside Hulao Pass; Yuan Shao even learned from the painful experience and came to Suanzao to supervise the battle. The two heroes continued to watch the scenery outside Hulao Pass!
However, when Dong Zhuo's Henan generals joined forces to defeat Sun Jian, Cao and Liu finally no longer had to cultivate feelings, because General Zhonglang and Cavalry Governor Hua Xiong who was stationed at Hulao Pass took the initiative to fight!
This is of course understandable... No matter whether they are new or old, all the colleagues from Liangzhou and Bingzhou are making meritorious service, but Hua Xiong is the only one who suffers in Hulao Pass. This makes this Liangzhou military general who was one of Dong Zhuo's personal guards quite outstanding.
Unwilling.
Of course, the ridiculous combat effectiveness shown by the Kwantung Allied Forces also made him more courageous!
Therefore, after properly arranging the defense of Chenggao and Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong, the newly minted general, actually took the initiative to leave the pass, leading only 3,000 cavalry across Sishui every day, and frequently launched attacks on the more than 100,000 Kwantung Allied Forces.
challenge!
It is impossible for the princes of Guandong to refuse to fight.
After all, if an army of more than 100,000 people dare not accept the challenge of 3,000 cavalry, then they will really lose face. In fact, after hearing the news, even Yuan Benchu came from behind and prepared to personally
Supervise the battle in order to win this first victory since the war against Dong!
However, after the battle began, an embarrassing situation occurred again - Hua Xiong led three thousand cavalry and ran rampant on the plain east of Sishui River without any scruples. However, the army of princes was unable to defeat the opponent for a while!
How to say?
It's very simple. Hua Xiong is not a fool. He can't really play 3,000 versus 100,000. In fact, he specifically issued a letter of war to the coalition of princes on the opposite side. He made it very clear - either 5,000 infantry or 3,000 cavalry.
, he can fight any battle, one day at a time, but if there is a siege or a wheel, he will not serve! Anyway, three thousand cavalry can cross the bridge and return to the pass in a flash.
This is of course reasonable and reasonable, and the princes of Guandong have no intention of objecting... However, for several days in a row, the so-called famous generals of various counties and states leading their troops were defeated one after another in front of Hua Xiong and his Xiliang cavalry!
By the time the alliance leader Yuan Shao arrived from the jujube camp, he had already lost four games in a row, and two of his leading generals were dead! Not only did the Kwantung Allied Forces fail to win, but their morale became even more demoralized.
"You are so capable!" In the morning of late March, Yuan Shao sat in the camp, looking around. "How can a mere three thousand people be helpless?"
There were more than ten princes on both sides of the tent with different expressions after hearing this. Some had expressions unchanged, some looked up to the sky and sighed, and some sneered... This is not without reason. As early as Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, he changed his face.
At the very least, the courtesy corporal became particularly arrogant towards these Guandong princes, so many people felt unhappy.
"Yuan Chaqi!" Zhang Miao, who disliked Yuan Shao the most, was the first to protest. "Don't you hear what Mencius said, 'Abandon your armor and follow your troops and walk away, fifty steps is not ridiculous, a hundred steps'..."
Used here, it just suits the occasion!”
Yuan Shao was furious: "Is this the same thing?! Although I was defeated that day, I was still unable to fight with all my strength, and once the army turned around, it still forced Lu Bu away. But what about you, a hundred thousand people can't select the elite?
To defeat three thousand enemy troops? This is simply ridiculous!"
"How ridiculous?" Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, couldn't help but interrupt to cheer for his brother. "I have already said that we are all defeated generals. We only laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps..."
"Do you think I'm mocking your incompetence?!" Yuan Shao laughed angrily. "What I said before is that some people just sit back and watch the success or failure, and just want to preserve their strength and don't want to challenge Dong Chenggong! I'm talking about you
Hiding evil intentions!"
There was a sudden shock in the tent, and the two men also looked solemn.
"One hundred thousand people." Yuan Benchu stood up with his sword in hand, and while walking repeatedly in the tent, he stared at the princes in the seat and shouted loudly. "Is it true that there are no elite soldiers and strong generals? If you gather together and squeeze together, you can always choose.
Three thousand elite men, right? Look carefully and ask, there must be brave generals who can defeat ten thousand enemies, right? In my opinion, four defeats at the hands of Hua Xiong in four days are not because you can't do it, but because someone wants to do it.
This is an excuse to continue to delay progress and sit back and watch Dong Zhuo overthrow the Han Dynasty... After all, if the Han Dynasty is not destroyed, how can you people segregate one party and claim to be isolated and isolated?!"
"Yuan Cheqi be careful what you say!" Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, shouted in horror.
"Yuan Cheqi, don't slander anyone!" Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu who was specifically targeted by Yuan Shao, quickly stood up to refute, but he was a little less forceful. "It's not that we deliberately avoid fighting, but Hua Xiong is indeed brave and versatile.
Xiliang's cavalry is extremely difficult to handle and is really difficult to control."
"That's right." Zhang Chao's face turned pale and he immediately stood up to explain. "It's not that we don't want to gather elite troops to strengthen the generals. It's because the leader of the alliance has not arrived before and there is no one to deploy..."
"Nonsense!" Yuan Shao raised his knife and looked at Zhang Chao with a mocking look on his face. "I'm not blind or deaf. Two nights ago, Meng De held a banquet and asked you to do your best. He also asked you to join forces with your elite troops, but you just didn't respond.
, Meng De was so angry that he just walked out of the game. Is this a lie? Also, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, was seriously ill before. I asked Zang Hong to go to Qingzhou to investigate the situation, but you also pushed back... You were prevaricating before, and now you are lying to my face.
What do the two brothers want to do? Maybe they think that your brothers are the only one here and have a strong army, and they really have different intentions."
The Zhang brothers were anxious for a moment, but they had nothing to say... To be fair, the relationship between their brothers and Cao Cao was one of the best among the princes. However, because of Cao Cao's low status and weak strength, he was actually the spokesperson of Yuan Shao.
, so it is a fact that he does not want to listen to his command. As for Zang Hong, Yuan Shao wanted to poach him, but Zhang Chao was reluctant, which is human nature!
And this is how conflicts come about one after another.
"Benchu thought too much." At this moment, Cao Cao stood up to relieve the siege. "Meng Zhuo and Meng Gaoju are loyal ministers of the country. They were unwilling to join forces to gather elites before. In my opinion, they may not have the intention to preserve their strength, but
I underestimated the enemy for a moment, thinking that Hua Xiong could be captured easily... Now I have realized my mistake, and I am willing to work together to defeat the thief."
"Is that so?" Yuan Shao sneered.
Although Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were angry, they really didn't want to be labeled as having evil intentions. Moreover, although these two people had the intention to preserve their strength, they really didn't mean to take the overall situation into consideration. So, the two brothers
After looking at each other, they held their noses and nodded in agreement. This was considered as a sign of submission to Yuan Shao, and also a willingness to show their stance and use their best efforts to deal with the situation.
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and was about to turn back to the chief to speak when he suddenly heard someone behind him protesting: "Hua Xiong is brave, but we are incompetent, so we must work together to do it. This is certainly feasible; and Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world.
It is also true that we have been frustrated and have made no progress for several months. However, the alliance leader also needs to know that there are people in this world who are more ridiculous and harbor evil intentions than us... They are sitting in the prefectures and counties, claiming to be against Dong, but in fact they are
Not a single soldier or horse has arrived at the front line, and we have never seen how they work hard for the overall situation of the world! Today, the generals of chariots and cavalry only beat us, which is a bit dissatisfying!"
Yuan Shao turned around and saw that it was Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Ji Bei. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he sat down calmly and then asked slowly: "The Prime Minister of Ji Bei is not talking about me, is he? Or is he talking about Tao Gongzu and the others?
?How can we manage those people like Tao Gongzu?"
"No!" Bao Xin shook his head and replied. "The people I'm talking about are Zhang Yang in Hanoi, Han Fu in Jizhou, and Yuan Shu in Nanyang... These three people dare not say that they have not made any achievements, but they have not reached the front line after all.
It’s unconvincing.”
Yuan Shao shook his head repeatedly: "Since I am here, Governor Zhang of Hanoi will be responsible for the front-line war in Sanjin, Luobei, so why not reach the front line? And Han Jizhou and my brother, although they have not arrived in front of the army, they are responsible for the supplies and supplies of troops and horses in the north and south.
It all depends on these two people. Even our generals and soldiers, and the soldiers and horses at Sun Wentai, all rely on these two to provide supplies in the rear... The Prime Minister of Jibei is harsh."
"It's not that I'm harsh, it's just that I'm not convinced!" Bao Xin sighed. "The emperor is covered in dust and the country is in turmoil. We people claim to be all rebels, but there is no progress in the past few months. We have fought several battles.
But we have been defeated every time. If these three people are not allowed to gain knowledge, I am afraid they will despise us people in the future."
"Then what do you want?" Yuan Shao asked simply.
"I heard that Yuan Cheqi has reinforcements sent by Han Jizhou under his command. Can you let us see the style of Hebei's famous generals?" Bao Xin also said bluntly. "Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as we go to war, we will straighten out the people's hearts...
...And if we win, there is no need to say much; if we lose, we will never refuse, and we will definitely use all our best troops to join forces, so it’s too late, right?”
Many generals in the account were hesitant.
However, Yuan Shao was happy. He was sitting in the first place, looked around, and suddenly pointed to a general beside him: "General Pan, you are the general of Jizhou, and you have always been valued by Han Jizhou. Maybe you can try it for us."
To test the power of Hua Xiong, but also to stop the mouths of the princes of the Central Plains, so that they will no longer think that Han Jizhou is just a talker?"
The general hesitated slightly and was about to answer when a person next to him suddenly burst into laughter and came out of the queue. It was none other than Xin Ping and Xin Zhongzhi, who now lives in Jizhou and lives in the shadow of Yuan Shao.
"I'm afraid you don't know," Xin Pingtuan handed over his hands. "This General Pan Fengpan is the General of Jizhou! If he takes action, even if he is brave and brave, he will be captured without mercy!"
The princes in the seat, as well as the generals and scribes standing beside and behind them all looked sideways at him.
But Pan Feng had nothing to think about and could only lower his head and make a promise to Yuan Shao.
"Hurry up and get ready!" Yuan Shao said easily. "I brought more than 20,000 troops on this trip, and there are always 3,000 elites..."
Pan Feng had nothing to say, so he slightly cupped his hands, then turned around and left.
Liu Bei, who was the last one in the seat, stared at this man walking out the door, but frowned for a moment... He had his own way, and he also knew some inside information.
By the way, Yuan Shao was defeated in Hanoi that day and suffered heavy losses. Correspondingly, Han Fu, who was responsible for providing soldiers, armor, and war horses to Yuan Benchu, could not help but feel resentful. So while slightly reducing the supply, he sent his trusted generals to personally lead the army.
The soldiers came here with the intention of supervising and protecting the soldiers and horses.
And this Pan Feng seems to be the new general from Jizhou later.
Of course, although he understood that Yuan Benchu wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, Liu Bei was not moved at all... because it was unnecessary. If Pan Feng was really capable, he would at least be able to escape unscathed, right? But if he was incompetent, the world would be in chaos now.
If he doesn't die here, can a general still be expected to continue to live?
It's not a general, but there are so many princes in this tent, either of noble birth or well-read, how many of them will be able to survive in a few years?
Only Yuan Benchu, who was well-known in the world, did not want to be so fierce and fierce, which made people wonder whether to admire or be wary. Moreover, it was said that Bao Xin had already separated from Yuan Shao when he was in Luoyang because of Dong Zhuo's affairs.
However, they cooperated so well. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or whether the two reconciled again. The former is fine. If they reconciled, then who is Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou? Isn’t Liu Dai trying to win over Bao Xin these days in order to plot against Dongjun?
Prefect Qiao Mao?
There are so many signs of internal strife. If a quarrel breaks out, what will happen to the overall situation of Dong Dong?
How can a man who has made great achievements and has been unable to move forward for a long time?
For a moment, Liu Xuande's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was secretly in turmoil.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shao was indeed prepared. He hurriedly decided on Pan Feng to fight in the morning, sent a letter of challenge at noon, and actually went out to fight in the afternoon... However, although Pan Feng was known as the general of Jizhou, he was watched by the princes of Guandong.
Next, simply defeat in one fight.
Like the previous times, his subordinates fled back to the coalition camp. Faced with such a huge coalition camp, it was difficult for the Xiliang Army to catch up. Only Pan Feng himself was seriously injured. It is said that he died shortly after being returned to the camp.
Died.
So far, Hua Xiong has won five games in a row, and his momentum is getting stronger, while the coalition forces are getting more and more frustrated... When they return to the camp, the princes are talking about it, and their hearts are floating for a while.
"What a Jizhou general, nothing more than that!"
“Haven’t Hebei soldiers and horses been famous for their proficiency in warfare for hundreds of years?”
"That's Youzhou's sudden cavalry, most of them are under the command of General Wei now..."
"Okay, now that Pan Feng has died in the battle, there is no point in talking more." Yuan Shao said indifferently. "It depends on people. Now we should unite sincerely before we can do our best to deal with the current situation! What do you think?"
"What the leader said is true." Someone sneered. "Anyway, in this situation, we can't let Hua Xiong do whatever he wants in front of the pass, right? If this continues, everyone here, one by one, will be regarded as the whole world.
For the likes of dogs and dolphins.”
Everyone couldn't help but smile in embarrassment.
"That's right." Yuan Shao also laughed dryly. "Therefore, I have made up my mind to use all my elite troops. No matter who goes to fight, they will be at their disposal. In short, I must try my best to defeat Hua Xiong. I hope everyone will
I will no longer be stingy with my troops. However, I saw with my own eyes today on the high platform that Hua Xiong and his bodyguards are exceptionally brave. I am afraid that they cannot be easily defeated unless they are defeated by ten thousand people."
"Where do you come from?" Someone else couldn't help but sneer. "Even if you claim to be ten thousand enemies, you probably can't believe it. Don't you see that those generals and famous generals are all boasters?"
Everyone was partly mocking themselves and partly mocking others, but they burst into laughter.
"There is a man in my unit who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people." Just as he heard the laughter, Liu Bei suddenly spoke, which caused a moment of silence in the tent, and he didn't know how to respond.
After a long while, Cao Cao curiously asked: "Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you say anything in the past few days, why do you take the initiative to ask for a fight today? Moreover, your troops are all recruits recruited from Danyang, how can you be known as a person who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people?"
?”
"I have never asked for a battle before, but I wanted to carefully observe the reality of Hua Xiong and his troops." Liu Bei answered calmly without changing his expression. "And in the past few days, I have carefully watched the situation of his troops in battle, and I have a rough idea.
And now the fighter jets have appeared."
"You mean...?"
"Yes, although Hua Xiong is brave and his troops are indeed elite, after winning five times in a row, Hua Xiong himself has already become arrogant and unbearable. After fighting for five days in a row, although his troops are vigorous on the surface, they are already exhausted on the inside... Exactly
Good time to go out and fight!”
"So that's it!" Yuan Shao was moved when he saw it was Liu Bei. "Xuande has always accompanied General Wei in battles and is also a good fighter. Since you said that the opportunity to fight has appeared, then it is time to fight! However, ten thousand people
The words of the enemy..."
"It's not me who says this man is the enemy of ten thousand people." Liu Bei looked at his superior Yuan Shao calmly and answered calmly. "It was my brother Gongsun Wenqi who said it himself!"
Yuan Shao couldn't help but responded solemnly: "May I ask which general it is?"
"Is it Guan Yunchang or Zhang Yide?" Cao Cao suddenly realized.
"It's my brother Yide." Liu Bei didn't hide it. "I thought he had followed my brother to conquer Bingzhou, but I didn't expect that he was still in Qinghe, so I wrote to him asking for help. After receiving the letter, he heard that
Since I was here, I rode here alone, I just arrived two days ago!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"However, the enemy has three thousand cavalry, and it is difficult for Yide alone to do anything." Liu Bei suddenly stood up with his sword and raised his voice towards Yuan Shao. "Alliance leader, please allow me 300 elite knights from Hebei to serve as a
Help and protect!"
Yuan Shao was writing something on the case. Hearing this, he directly agreed without raising his head: "Since General Wei personally praised him as an enemy of ten thousand people, he is truly an enemy of ten thousand people... Why not? You still want to
What?"
"Brother Yuncheng!" Liu Beifu turned to Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin. "I once saw that there is a commander in your camp called Yu Jin Yu Wenze. His three thousand people are highly disciplined and can be called elites. Maybe he can lend me some help.
One use?”
Bao Xin thought of what he had promised in person yesterday and was naturally speechless: "If you can defeat Hua Xiong, why not be stingy with one general? I just don't know how Xuande plans to fight? Since there is an enemy of ten thousand people, why not gather three thousand elite cavalry and defeat him face to face?
?Instead, you asked me for a mere infantry?"
"If we only wanted a victory, I would have asked my brother Zhang Yide to take action two days earlier!" Liu Bei replied proudly. "Tomorrow I will kill Hua Xiong and take him to the tiger prison, so that we can avenge our previous humiliation!"
The princes, scribes, and generals in the tent all turned pale with shock and suspicion.
After a long time, Cao Cao was the first to break the silence: "Yide and Yu Jin went to kill Hua Xiong. I can probably understand and guess Xuande's plan, but who will go to Hulao? Hulao is so easy to capture.
Of?"
"Of course I will do it myself!" Liu Bei slowly drew out the long sword from his waist and looked at it calmly. "Only Brother Meng De must lend me Le Wenqian and his two thousand men."
————I am the dividing line with more experience than you————
"In the first year of Chuping, the Kwantung Allied Forces rose up to attack Dong. When they arrived at Hulao, the governor Hua Xiong blocked the pass and defended it. With his bravery, he defeated the allied forces in many cases. As time passed, the princes supported an army of 100,000, but they only drank wine and sang loudly.
Dare to fight. Shao arrived from Hanoi and urged the army to fight. After five days of defeat, he became more and more embarrassed. The general was defeated and prepared to draw his sword. He asked himself to kill Hua Xiong and break the tiger prison in one day. Half of the army was frightened, and the other half was frightened.
Strengthen his spirit." - "Dian Lue". Yan. Pei Song's Notes
