Chapter 313
Dong Bi doesn't know Guo Bang, but it doesn't mean that no one knows Guo Bang.

Among the entourage, the one who knew Guo Si the most was Li Ru, followed by Hua Xiong Xu Rong, who was also very familiar with Li and Guo.

This is a very calm person who can always keep a calm head when encountering panic.

The combination of Li Jue and Guo Si doesn't look terrible. Neither of them are very good at it, but Li Jue is courageous and Guo Si is calm. Calculated changes.

Dong Bi set fire to Gucheng, almost burning Li Jue to death in the fire.

It was Guo Si's insistence on dividing the troops into two groups and echoing back and forth that Li Jue was able to escape.He even set up an ambush when Guo Yuan pursued him.If Dong Pi hadn't arrived with backup, Guo Yuan might have been killed by Guo Si by the Jianshui.

Sili was in chaos and turmoil.

Because of his son's affairs, Ma Teng and Li Guo tore up their faces and attacked Sili.

Due to Dong Zhuo's encirclement and suppression of Ma Teng, Ma Teng's troops were far less powerful than in the original history.The gathering of 6 or 10,000 horses from Wuwei is already Ma Teng's limit.However, the strength of Li and Guo in Sili is as high as [-]+. The strength gap between the two sides is too great. Even with the help of Zhang Miao, they may not be able to withstand the attack of Li and Guo.

Dong Bi didn't want Sili to be peaceful.

On the contrary, a Sili who has been reckless for several years seems to be more in his interest.

So Li Ru planned to disperse the forces of Li and Guo so that they could not attack Ma Teng and Zhang Miao wholeheartedly.

The best way is to add an opponent to Li Guo.

Yizhou Liu Yan seems to be a good enemy.As long as Li Guo's soldiers and horses enter Hanzhong, they will inevitably be entangled with Zhang Lu and Su Gu.Just as Dong Bi doesn't need a stable Si Li, Li Ru believes that the turbulent Hanzhong is more conducive to Dong Bi's future plans.Dong Bi needed Song Guozhao to open the county gate, while Li Ru had a longer-term plan.

In Guo Si's life, the person he fears the most is his wife.

He started from humble beginnings, and it was his wife who gave him great help.

And Guo Bang has two men and three women under his knees, and the most loved one is the daughter who married Zhang Nan.

Otherwise, Guo Bang would not have sent Zhang Nan and his wife to Weinan, a place where there is almost no danger and life is pretty good.

The daughter was raped and killed by a famous gentry, and the son-in-law was turned into a pig.

It must have been a heavy blow to Guo Bang, who valued his face very much.

Even if Guo Si is willing to calm down, his wife will not tolerate it any longer, and she will definitely divide her troops to chase and kill Dong Bi, and will never stop dying.

In this way, the pressure on Ma Teng and Zhang Miao will be weakened accordingly.

As long as some provocations are given appropriately, Liangzhou Sili will continue to fight, and a large number of refugees will migrate to Hexi.

This is extremely beneficial to the immigration policy formulated by Dong Bi earlier.

As early as the Yongshou period of Emperor Huan, that is, about 35 years ago, the Luoyang court once conducted a population census.

Excluding Shuofang and the Western Regions, the total population of the Han Dynasty is about 5000 million.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Han Emperor Liu Xie came to the throne, and Zheng Tai made a statistics in the first two years of the first evaluation, which is of course very general.

Yangzhou has a population of 500 million, Jingzhou has a population of 550 million, and Yizhou has a population of more than 700 million.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, since the three states were not affected by the flames of war, the population would not decrease significantly.

But the population of the Kanto prefectures has relatively decreased.

The total population of the twelve states is about 100 million.

Sanfu area has a population of 230 million and Liangzhou has a population of 110 million.Looking at the data at first glance, the population of Liangzhou is not small.But if you think about it carefully, Liangzhou's area is several times larger than the Sanfu area, but its population is much smaller.

The vast land and sparse population is the general situation of Liangzhou.

If the two places are in turmoil, the people living in these two areas will first choose Hexi and Shuofang.

Therefore, even if Sansuke's land was not chaotic at first, he must be in turmoil now.

Dong Bi didn't quite agree with this.

In his opinion, it is a bit too much to cause turbulence to millions of people because of his own affairs.

But Li Ru said: "Once my father dies, the world will inevitably be in turmoil. The ambitions of the princes are manifested, and sooner or later a war will break out. The land of Sanfu is the foundation for my future. Although the lord makes it turbulent, it can preserve its vitality. Lost. If there is a real chaos, human life is like a dog, I am afraid that when the time comes, the three assistants in Liangzhou will not survive."

This reason is not very sufficient, but Dong Bi still agreed.

Dividing Li and Guo's troops is the first step; intensifying the conflict between the gentry and Li Guo is the second step; and unrest in the three places is the third step.

Dong Bi stood at the mouth of the South Valley, with four snow ghosts crawling at his feet, and a lion mane beast standing beside him.

On the mountain road, there are chariots and horses moving slowly.

The mountain road is rugged and bumpy, which is quite inconvenient for the elderly.

Therefore, Dong Bi designed a warm tent similar to a sedan chair, and ordered 64 soldiers to be divided into three teams to carry the warm tent in turn.In fact, a cowhide tent was set up on a large wooden board, covered with thick mats, and [-] people carried a pair of warm tents, which not only freed up carts and horses to load supplies, but also protected the elderly from the pain of bumps.

Especially Dong Yuan, who just gave birth to a baby and is weak.

Having such a pair of warm tents saved a lot of suffering.At the same time, Dong Bi also asked people to make more than a dozen mountain sedan chairs. Two people can carry one person, which can also save the bumps. You can also watch the scenery along the way, and sleep in the warm tent when you are tired.

This made the old gentlemen Cai Yong and Liu Hong happy.

Sitting on the mountain sedan chair, the two chatted and laughed from time to time, admiring the beautiful scenery in the mountains, which dispelled a lot of troubles.

Li Ru, Dong Lu, and Hua Xiong Guo Yong stood behind Dong Bi.

Looking up at the sky, Dong Bi suddenly asked, "Have Song Guo's men entered Hanzhong?"

"According to the report from Tanma, in the early morning of yesterday, 3000 people from Song Guo's troops had already entered from Ziwu Valley and were preparing to attack the west city."

"What about Chang'an?"

"Guo Si personally led 3 horses and arrived in Zheng County yesterday."

Li Ru smiled, "Even if they arrived at Meridian Valley, they would never have expected that we would choose the most dangerous road instead of the flat road from Hanzhong. At that time, Guo Bang's troops would enter Hanzhong... Hehe, Hanzhong will become lively."

Dong Bi nodded, turned back and said to Xu Rong: "Give me the general order, the whole army must speed up, and they must all pass through the Nanshan Valley before dark...Brother-in-law, have you ever sent someone to Zhangye to ask them to try to get through the desert?" North Passage."

"Someone has been sent there!"

"Alright, we will be cut off from the world when we enter Nanshan. I just hope that Shuofang's situation will not be too bad, and Gongming will not let me down!"

These words are a little weak.

That's right, with such a big incident, I don't know how Xu Huang and the others will react?

People's hearts are separated by belly, although Xu Huang has expressed his loyalty, but for Dong Bi, he doesn't know much about him.

******
At the end of July in the third year of Chuping, with the death of Dong Zhuo, the princes of the Guandong gradually showed their ambitions.

Yuan Shao sent generals to lead troops to Yanmen County, and joined hands with the Xihe Cui family to capture Wuyuan and occupy the fertile land thousands of miles east of the river.

And Cao Cao captured Luoyang and occupied Yangdi.

As a result, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are connected together.The Yellow Turban banditry in Qingzhou became more and more serious. Qingzhou Mu Gong Jing reluctantly asked Cao Cao for help after repeated efforts to suppress the banditry were ineffective.For such a request, it hit Cao Cao's arms.

The death of Mu Qinjie in Yangzhou caused turmoil in the most stable prefectures and counties.

Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou, and Tao Qian, Mu of Xuzhou, all fixed their eyes on such a fertile land in Yangzhou.

At the same time, after Li Jue coerced Han Emperor to arrive in Chang'an, he proclaimed himself a general.

He sent his general Yang Feng to defend against Zhang Ma's allied forces. At the same time, he went to Shu Han Emperor Liu Xie and invited Liu Yao, the prefect of Guangling, to be the shepherd of Yangzhou.

Liu Yao is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and his ancestors are King Xiao of Qi and Marquis of Mouping.

Uncle Liu Chong, who once served as a Taiwei, was young but intelligent and known as a wise man.

After Zhang Chao, the former governor of Guangling, died in the crusade against the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Yao as the governor of Guangling.

This is also a signal Dong Zhuo sent to the world.

Don't doubt me anymore, I don't want to usurp the Han Dynasty.You see, didn't I appoint the clan members of the Han Dynasty one by one to serve as court officials?
It's a pity that not many people paid attention to the signal Dong Zhuo sent.

Li Jue appointed Liu Yao as Yangzhou shepherd in the name of Emperor Han, which immediately aroused Tao Qian's dissatisfaction.

Liu Yao is also very smart. After receiving the appointment, he took office immediately.However, the first thing he did after taking office was not to stabilize the situation in Yangzhou.

Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, Kuai Liang from Yangzhou's other family, and Huang Zhong, the school lieutenant in the west of Yangzhou, were all Qin Jie's confidantes.

After Liu Yao took office, he immediately asked his confidant Zhang Ying to take over the position of captain in the west, and appointed Huang Zhong as captain of Lujiang.

Lujiang, that is the foundation of the Lu family of the Jiangdong clan.

Naturally, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, would not be willing to hand over the soldiers and horses of this county to an outsider to control...

Huang Zhong, that is also a very arrogant person.Back then, staying in Yangzhou was only to repay Qin Jie's kindness.

Now how can I bear this kind of uselessness, and in a rage, after returning to Wu County, I hung the seal and sealed the gold, and left Yangzhou for civil employment with the former governor.As for where to go?No one knows... Liu Yao naturally doesn't care about the whereabouts of a school lieutenant.

After mastering the power of soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, Liu Yao then dismissed Kuai Liang and Zhou Xin, and appointed Xu Jing, a famous scholar from Runan, as the prefect of Danyang.

Zhou Xin was furious and refused to recognize Liu Yao's appointment.Not wanting to be attacked by General Liu Yao Chen Heng, he defeated Danyang County, took his family and defected to Jingzhou Liu Biao, and at the same time, the former Danyang Commander Zhou Zhi left with Zhou Xin.Liu Biao accepted Zhou Xin and appointed him as the prefect of Wuling, and Zhou Zhi was appointed as the magistrate of Youyang.

So far, the appointment of officials from all over the country has come from the state pastor.

However, the officials appointed by Li Jue in the name of the court became extremely embarrassing.

For a time, wars continued in various places, and the twelve prefectures of the Han Dynasty fell into chaos.
