Han Shimou

Li Cui knew Li Ru's ability very well, so he obeyed immediately. While resting the army, he sent people to Liangzhou to negotiate peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui.But Ma Teng and Han Sui learned that the righteous division had disintegrated, and they also expanded a lot of territory, so they agreed to Li Cui's peace negotiation.

So far, the Han Dynasty has experienced repeated storms, the imperial power and prestige have been lost, and the princes of the world have supported their own troops and showed their ambitions one after another.

After Wen Han led the Hedong army back to Anyi in Hedong, he learned from Xilong that so many changes had happened in Hedong in the year he left Hedong.

Two months after he joined the Alliance of Volunteers, the wealthy family in Hedong colluded with Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo bandit, and captured Changling, Pingyin, and Dangyin counties.Fortunately, Wen Han left more than 1 soldiers to guard Hedong. After Xi Long learned about it, he and Gao Shun immediately dispatched [-] elite soldiers to fight against the Baibo bandits.At the same time, Xilong found Wei Zhongdao and borrowed thousands of private soldiers from him to prepare troops for the counties in Hedong.

Afterwards, Xilong and Gao Shun first started a battle in Changling with [-] Baibo thieves led by Yang Feng, the general of the Baibo thieves. , Yang Feng took the Xiangling and Xinzheng counties in the east of the river within ten days. Lead the disabled soldiers back to Xinzheng.Unexpectedly, Xinzheng was captured by Gao Shun's army long ago. Yang Fenggang returned to Xinzheng. Gao ordered the sergeant to close the gate of the city and beat the dogs. The Baibo bandits led by Yang Feng were helpless.Yang Feng fought bloody and was able to break out of the encirclement under the desperate fight of thousands of confidants. Yang Feng was defeated and all the remaining Baibo thieves surrendered.

After Gao Shun and Xilong recruited six thousand Baibo thieves, they led the army to attack wildly all the way, and regained the lost lands of Xiangling, Xinzheng, and Changling.After Yang Feng was defeated, he fled to Pingyin, where he joined forces with Han Hao, another general of the Baibo bandits. Xilong and Gao Shun led the Hedong army to chase them to Pingyin. At a glance, they are all Baibo thieves, who dare not move lightly, so let's settle down for now.

When Han Hao heard Yang Feng say that he had lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses in Xilong's hands, he was furious and wanted to lead the army to fight Xilong to the death.Yang Fenggang had a deep taste of Xilong's power, and knew that this person was extremely intelligent and full of tricks, so he quickly reminded Han Hao not to act rashly.Han Hao agreed with his mouth, but he didn't pay attention to it in his heart.

He was in Hedong, but he was afraid of Wen Han, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang, the three sworn brothers. At that time, all three of them left Hedong, and Han Hao expected that there was no one in Hedong.Yu Ye ordered [-] Baibo thieves to attack the camp. Just as Han Hao led the army to the Hedong camp, he found that the surroundings were empty and deserted, and he was shocked and pale.

Han Hao knew he was in the wrong, and just about to retreat, he was attacked by Xi Long and Gao Shunzao's soldiers lying in ambush on the left and right.The [-] white wave thieves led by Han Hao were in chaos immediately. They were killed so that they threw away their helmets and armor, and ran away with their heads in their hands, only knowing to run for their lives.

Yang Feng, who was in Pingyin City, was awakened by the screams of fighting outside, and quickly called the sergeant to ask him carefully. He was shocked when he learned that Han Hao had led the army to attack. He must have been ambushed by Xi Long , Immediately led thousands of soldiers and horses to rescue Han Hao in a panic.

Yang Feng led the army to charge straight, but Xilong had expected it and ordered Pei Yuanshao to lie in ambush by the roadside.When Pei Yuanshao saw Yang Feng leading the troops rushing towards him, he lay down and did not move until he got very close. Pei Yuanshao let out a stern roar, and the two thousand crossbowmen all fired at once, and the arrows flew down like a violent rain. It was in a mess, and a large piece fell down.

Seeing this, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue, and ordered two thousand crossbowmen to fire several rounds of arrows. The arrows almost covered the whole world. Yang Fengjun was killed and injured.

On the other side, Xi Long and Gao Shun led the army to cover up and kill Han Hao's rebellious army, and fought all the way until dawn. Seeing that the defeat was certain, Han Hao led a small team to break out of the encirclement and fled back to Pingyin.

So far, most of the Baibo bandit army that had invaded Hedong had been lost. Han Hao and Yang Feng dared not fight any more, so they abandoned Pingyin and fled to Dangyin, joining forces with Guo Da.Guo Da heard that Yang Feng and Han Hao were repelled by Xi Long and Gao Shun, not only lost the city, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so angry that he wanted to hack them to death with a knife on the spot.Fortunately, Li Le and Yu Fuluo, the Shan Yu Fuluo of the Southern Xiongnu, were interceded by another Baibo thief, and Guo Dacai angrily bypassed them.

At that time, the army of volunteers had captured Linjin.When Yu Fuluo saw that the righteous army was about to attack Chang'an, he suggested to Guo Da to withdraw his troops for the time being, otherwise when Wenhan led the army back to Hedong, he would be slaughtered frantically by the Hedong army.As soon as Guo Day heard Wenhan's name, his face changed immediately. Wenhan was like a nightmare to him.At the beginning, he gathered nearly [-] people in Baibo Valley, but he was still defeated by Wen Han.

Guo Da made a decisive decision and decided to withdraw his troops back to Bingzhou. He planned to capture Bingzhou as soon as possible before Wenhan returned to Hedong, and then use absolute force to take the land of Hedong by force.

Guo Dayu wanted to evacuate from Hedong, and those wealthy families in Hedong who rebelled against him were all panicked when they learned about it, and begged Guo Dayu to change their minds.But Guo Da, who was born as a yellow scarf thief, didn't like these wealthy people at all. Not only did he ignore them, but he also killed several wealthy patriarchs in the prodigal area who came to him, massacred them and their clansmen, and then robbed them. After its property, only then led the army to leave the prostitution.

And when the patriarchs of other wealthy families in Hedong learned that Guo Dacan killed the wealthy families in Dangyin, they felt extremely regretful.But the matter has come to this point and they can no longer turn back, the urgent task now is how to save their lives.They hurriedly prepared a lot of money and came to find Xilong one after another, begging Xilong to spare their lives.But Xilong only sneered at them, took the rich people into custody, and brought them back to Anyi to wait for Wenhan to come back before he was convicted.

"Hmph, these wealthy people really think that I, Wen Bufan, have been patient with them again and again because I am afraid of them. They have plotted against me again and again, and this time they even helped the Baibo bandits to seize Hedong. I'm afraid that Hedong has fallen into the hands of Baibo's thieves.

Zhicai, how do you think I should deal with them? "

As soon as Wen Han returned to Hedong, he heard that Hedong was almost captured, so how could he not be angry.He sat in the main seat of the hall, his eyes flashed with cold light and killing intent.

But Xilong suggested very flatly.

"My lord, these people are from a wealthy family after all. If I kill them, I'm afraid that my lord will be resisted by wealthy people from all over the world in the future. In my opinion, it's better to spare their lives, but to get rid of their minions. For wealthy people, their biggest weapons are money, land, and private soldiers."

"My lord can announce their crimes to the world, and then confiscate their property and private soldiers. In this way, even if the rich and powerful people from all over the world will have some words to the lord, but after all, these people have murdered the lord repeatedly, and they deserve death. Their lives are already a great kindness and great virtue. The wealthy people from all over the world will not be too strong in their resistance to the lord. I wonder if the lord thinks it is so appropriate?"

"I think you have made this decision long ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept your hands on them."

"As a counselor, of course you must seek the greatest benefit for your lord."

"In this way, if I don't follow your advice, I will appear headstrong."

Wen Han raised his eyebrows with interest, and then pretended to be dark and dissatisfied.Xilong is still as plain as ever, but this plainness gives people an unrestrained feeling.

"Zhicai believes in the master, and will understand Zhicai's painstaking efforts."

"You are more and more presumptuous."

"Zhicai dare not, it's just that the lord has always advocated that the monarch and his ministers have a family, and there is no need for too much etiquette. Zhicai dares to be presumptuous.

"Hehe, you turned against the general. Alright. Let's deal with them according to your suggestion."

Wen Han chuckled, for some reason, when he gets along with Xi Long, he always relaxes easily.Xi Long cupped his hands, showing a satisfied smile, and was about to leave to make arrangements, but was stopped by Wen Han.

"Slow down, this matter is not urgent, Zhicai can deal with it slowly. Now that Dong Zhuo dies, the general situation of the world will change drastically. In this unpredictable and chaotic world, what should I do in Hedong is the most urgent thing right now. .”

Xi Long's face darkened, put away the uninhibited, and then saw Wen Han's expression was not good, and said a little solemnly.

"My lord, you have experienced many battles this year, and you were injured by Lu Bu in Chang'an. You need to recuperate both physically and mentally. Are you sure you are going to discuss such important matters at this time?"

There was deep concern in Xilong's eyes, while Wenhan's right shoulder was still in sharp pain.In Chang'an, after repelling Li Cui and other Dong Zhuo's remnants, Wen Han was worried about Guan Yu's injury, so he asked the imperial physician in Weiyang Palace to give him some simple treatment, and then drove them all to Guan Yu's side.After returning to Hedong, Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han's face and right shoulder were trembling frequently, and knew that he had suffered serious injuries. He intended to check Wen Han's recovery, but Wen Han politely refused and asked Hua Tuo to take care of Guan Yu first. .

And Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han had just returned to Hedong and had many things to deal with, so he went to take care of Guan Yu first according to Wen Han's intention, but before going, he gave Wen Han a lot of advice, telling Wen Han not to work too hard, so as not to worsen the injury .

Wen Han endured the sharp pain from the wound on his right shoulder, and pretended to have no serious problem on his face.

"It doesn't matter. If I decide my direction earlier, my heart can also be determined earlier. In the current situation, we are like a boat walking in huge waves. If we are not careful, we will end up in pieces at any time."

"It's so, Zhicai will definitely relieve the Lord's worries."

Xi Long sighed in his heart, and did not expose Wen Han. After clearing his throat, he recalled in his mind the plan he had analyzed long ago.As a top strategist, after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he began to think about the future direction for Wenhan and even the entire Hedong.

"Once Dong Zhuo dies, the general trend of the lords competing for the throne will no longer be stopped. Now the princes all over the world are rapidly accumulating power, aiming at the great cause of the world. In Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, there are two fierce tigers, Yuan Shao in Hanoi and Gongsun Zan in Beiping. Han Fu Although Yuan Shao and Liu Yu have one state, they are not their opponents. Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have attacked Han Fu's Jizhou. After Jizhou decides the winner, it will be the turn of Liu Yu's Youzhou. I guessed right, the northern land will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

And Cao Cao has a good relationship with Liu Dai in Yanzhou. Now that Yanzhou is being invaded by black bandits, Liu Dai's mediocrity is probably hard to resist.There are many advisers under Cao Cao's command. Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew all have talents in the world, and Cao Cao also has the qualities of a hero.Maybe he's already made up his mind.According to my guess, he should use the excuse of helping Liu Dai repel the bandits, and recruit the bandits from Heishan along the way, first take Qingzhou, the base camp of the bandits, and then go to plot Yanzhou.

At the same time, there are tigers and wolves such as Yuan Shu in Runan, Sun Jian in Changsha, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the south, and the south should be divided by the three of them.As for Western Yongzhou and Liangzhou, they will be divided in the hands of Lu Bu, Li Cui and others.

Based on this calculation, most of the world will be caught in a melee, and these states and counties will become the targets of the evil tigers. If I wait for Hedong to intervene, it will be difficult to obtain great benefits.But in fact, there is a state and county where the lord has already laid down his hands. Is it the best time to go get it now? "
