Yuan Shu first broke Hulao Pass, then Luoyang City, and then defeated Zhou Ang's army. His momentum reached its peak for a while. He had Sun Jian as a general, Zhang Yan as an outsider, and Gongsun Zan as an aid. He was in the spotlight, let alone Cao Cao.
Even Yuan Shao, who was leaning against Cao Mengde, couldn't compare with him.
People of insight all over the world believe that at present, Yuan Jiujiu is the leader most likely to come out to reorganize the old mountains and rivers. Without him, Sun Wentai is really too capable, and Yuan Shu's reputation is too high, and he can win from all over the world.
Soldiers and food and grass were continuously obtained. When the two worked together, the power was even greater than the combination of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
After the brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao broke up, Cao Cao quickly mobilized his troops and generals to prepare for a life-and-death battle with Sun Jianjian. Yuan Shao also sent an envoy to contact Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and agreed to form an alliance to jointly fight against the increasingly powerful Yuan Shu Group. Jingzhou is located in Yuzhou
On the other hand, how could Liu Biao not be worried about Yuan Shu?
So he hit it off with Yuan Shao, and the two sides established a military alliance. Yuan Shu was about to defeat Cao Cao first, and then attack Yuan Shao. When he heard that there was a fire in the backyard, he immediately sent people to Liu Biao and said, "Yuan Shao is just a commoner. Instead of forming an alliance with Yuan Benchu, why not make an alliance with Yuan Shao?"
Will we form an alliance with Yuan Gongli?"
Liu Biao formed an alliance with Yuan Shao because he was afraid that Yuan Shu would come to attack Jingzhou. Yuan Shu's family background was very good, and his disciples and old officials were all over the world. If he sent troops to capture Jingzhou, he didn't know how many people would respond. Liu Biao flatly rejected Yuan Shu's solicitation.
Then Yuan Gongluo transferred Sun Jian back, preparing to clear out the enemies behind him, and then attack the Central Plains soon.
So Sun Jian led the army to attack Jingzhou. He first defeated Huang Zu near Deng County, took advantage of the victory, crossed the Han River, and arrived at Xiangyang City. Liu Biao was afraid of Sun Jian's strong army and did not dare to fight with him, so he chose to defend the city. He secretly
He sent someone to contact Huang Zu and asked him to mobilize troops and horses from various counties in Jingzhou to come to his aid.
Sun Jian detached some of his troops to besiege Xiangyang, and he took less than half of Huang Zu's men to fight, and defeated Huang Zu. Huang Zu fled into the mountains, and Sun Jian pursued him closely. As a result, he pursued too fast and lost contact with the rear.
The soldiers moved away from each other and were shot dead by Huang Zu's crossbowmen who were ambushing in the mountains and forests.
Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who once dominated the world and conquered the princes, ended his magnificent life so dramatically. Looking at his military use, there was actually nothing surprising. The training and organization used were all inherited from the old Han Dynasty.
There is a system, but it does not come up with a new set of things like Chen Cheng or Cao Cao did.
But every time Sun Jian fought, he was personally present in the battle formation. He could understand the sufferings of the soldiers, so he could win the support of the soldiers. Because he was on the front line every time, he could often seize the slightest opportunity in the battle formation and make a quick move.
Use the lost fighter planes, lead the army to attack from the enemy's weak point, and then win the victory.
Therefore, although Sun Jian did not have many innovations in the military system, he was one of the strongest generals of this era. The 890,000 troops under Liu Biao's command were like paper in front of Sun Jian's more than 20,000 people, and they were directly
They reached the gates of Xiangyang City. The soldiers and horses who came from all directions were also killed and defeated. According to normal circumstances, Liu Biao would be isolated and helpless in Xiangyang City. After a few months, he could no longer hold on, and then launched a wave of GG.
But who in the world could have imagined that Sun Jian would die like this? Well, Chen Cheng, who was far away in Chang'an, was not among these people. When Sun Jian died, the morale of his troops was in chaos, and they had no choice but to withdraw from Jingzhou.
.At about the same time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses launched a tentative attack on Yanzhou, but Cao Mengde shot them back.
At this time, Cao Cao had joined forces with the local scholars in Yanzhou, and the quality and quantity of his army were among the best in the world. When he heard that Sun Jian was dead, Cao Cao unceremoniously dispatched his troops and captured Yingchuan County.
After eating it to his stomach, he sent troops to occupy Hulao Pass and could march to Luoyang at any time.
It's just that the area around Luoyang is almost burned to a white ground. The red land over there is thousands of miles away, and the food and grass along the way cannot be supplied at all. Therefore, Cao Cao just stopped at Hulao Pass, and then moved his headquarters to Chenliu. It was obvious that he had started from
Yuan Shao became independent and became an important vassal.
When changes occurred in various parts of Guandong, Chen Cheng had already left Tongguan with more than 10,000 tooth troops. He had previously planned to send troops to Luoyang after capturing Guanzhong to participate in the siege of Luoyang. However, two consecutive major battles
The earthquake seriously damaged the vitality of Guanzhong. After Yan Zhong brought officials from three provinces and six ministries to Chang'an, it took a long time to stabilize the situation.
While Yan Zhong and Jia Xu were handling government affairs, Chen Cheng led his soldiers and horses to hunt down bandits everywhere. Although the bandits were able to take advantage of their familiarity with the geography and move around Guanzhong, how could they defeat Chen Cheng? As long as he was there
Enemy troops within a forty mile radius will be automatically displayed.
Relying on cheating methods, Chen Cheng led the cavalry in hot pursuit, sometimes killing several bandits in one day. With his unremitting efforts and the government's "divided fields, tax exemption for one year, only half of the tax for the second year"
"Under the conditions, Guanzhong quickly settled down.
The refugees who were incorporated into the government soldiers and the people in Guanzhong, under the guidance of the government, rushed to plant some potatoes and sweet potatoes, hoping to survive this year. Although the summer harvest was reduced by half, the autumn harvest could still recover some blood.
That is to say, Guanzhong and Bingzhou and other places have already promoted new crops. Otherwise, many people will starve to death this winter.
Then, He Jin was driven out of Luoyang by Sun Jian. Under the critical situation, the general He Jin issued an edict for help to all the princes, including one sent to Chen Cheng in Chang'an. At that time, Sun Jian was about to conquer Luoyang, and Yuan Shu
His reputation reached its peak. At the secret meeting, Yan Zhong and Jia Xu agreed that Yuan Shu must not be allowed to take control of the court.
Although Chen Cheng was very confident in Yuan Shu's ability to mess things up, he couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart when he saw Yuan Shu's attitude. History has its own inertia, and the original situation in the world has been very different from what he remembered.
Big difference, but now it seems to be back on track.
Yuan Shao still pacified Hebei, and Cao Cao still rose in the Central Plains. Luoyang and Yanzhou were both in the Central Plains, not far from each other. If the emperor fell into the hands of Cao Mengde, it would be difficult to handle. So after receiving the order from the emperor, the princes from all over the world rescued him.
After the edict, Chen Cheng immediately led 10,000 tooth soldiers, traveling twice as many times, from Chang'an to Tongguan, and then headed east from Tongguan towards Luoyang.
As soon as the army left the pass, they received news that Sun Jian had chased him halfway and turned around to rescue Yuzhou. The emperor who had fled to Mianchi ordered Chen Cheng to lead the Xiliang army back to the pass. The angel was still Wei Li. Compared with
Two years ago, Wei Li seemed to have aged a lot. Not only was his hair a little gray, but there were also wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Chen Cheng, Wei Li took out the emperor's edict and was about to read it in public. Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. He Jin asked me to lead troops to rescue him before. Now that we are all in Hongnong, what does He Jin have to say?"
Want to say something?"
Wei Li whispered: "This is the intention of the emperor, not the general..."
"Hey, don't tell lies in front of discerning people," Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Isn't He Jin representing the emperor now? They are two sides of the same coin, so why should they be so clear about it? Could it be that the current court doesn't
Under the control of the general? Tell me, what ideas does He Jin have?"
Wei Li lamented in his heart and said: "Now that Sun Jian has retreated, Yuan Shu's remaining troops are not to be feared. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, has brought another 20,000 troops and horses, and there is no need to bother the Liangzhou Mu anymore, so he asked Chen to envoy
You will lead your troops back to Guanzhong."
Before Chen Cheng could say anything, there was a burst of sneers from around him. Someone said loudly: "Does He Jin think we are the prostitutes in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion? If we are told to come, we will come, and if we are told to leave, we will leave?"
It's so easy!"
"Yes, Luoyang has been occupied by Yuan Shu now, and He Jin can no longer represent the imperial court!"
Wei Li said in a low voice: "In the emperor's edict, Princess Wannian was also betrothed to Chen Shijun, who will control Liangzhou and Guanzhong in the name of the royal family!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became weird. Many generals looked at Chen Cheng and Liu Qian, and then showed expressions of sudden realization. But more people lowered their heads,
Staring at his toes in a daze, as if there was something particularly interesting down there.
Chen Cheng had a look of astonishment on his face. He had never thought about getting married and having children in this era, and he had never shown any intention of being close to any woman. Because he knew that he was just a passer-by in this world, not a returnee. However, Liu Qian
With a look of joy on his face, he snatched the edict from Wei Li's hand, and then read it with joy.
"Very good, He Jin has done a good thing!"
After reading the edict, Liu Qian was very satisfied, but then she said: "But don't even think about asking us to withdraw our troops!"
The army had already reached Hongnong. It was "the arrow was on the string and had to be fired". How could it be possible to retreat like this?
Chen Cheng came back to his senses, glanced at the overjoyed Liu Qian, and felt a little headache. He was not very smart, but he was not stupid at all. Of course, he could tell that Liu Qian liked him. He had always been pretending to be stupid before.
Chong was stunned, thinking that when Liu Qian got older, she would naturally stop thinking about it without responding, but now that He Jin has revealed the matter, it will be difficult to handle.
He said angrily: "It's enough for the general to take care of the affairs of the court. He also takes care of the marriage. Don't you think you are stretching your hand too far?"
Wei Li was stunned and didn't know why Chen Cheng was angry. In his opinion, it was a great honor for the emperor to grant a marriage to the royal family. How could anyone be indifferent to it?
"Huh, you go back and tell He Jin that I will go to see the emperor first, and then lead the troops back to Guanzhong."
He Jin issued an edict in the name of the emperor, asking Chen Cheng to lead his troops back, but he continued to lead his troops eastward in the name of meeting the emperor. Both sides gave high-sounding reasons, but they were all thinking about their own interests. After experiencing
After many things, Chen Cheng was able to overcome his moral obsession and began to say things he didn't mean.
