Chapter 156 The Upheaval in Youzhou
"This……"

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "These religious people are very evil. This general has no good impressions of these religions. If the people under his rule become believers in the Five Dou Rice Path, who else will obey the general's order."

"otherwise!"

Xun Yu said: "My lord only knows one thing, but not the other!"

Luo Zheng said in surprise: "I would like to hear the details!"

Xun Yu said: "I have carefully studied Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao. Although religion is extreme and not liked by the imperial court, it can control the people very well to a certain extent. It can appease the people when it is used righteously, but it can cause chaos if used evilly." The world!"

Luo Zheng nodded, of course he knew this.

Xun Yu continued: "There are many Qiang and Hu people in Liangzhou. My lord only needs to allow Zhang Lu to preach among those Qiang and Hu tribes. Presumably Zhang Lu will definitely go there happily. As for those Qiang and Hu tribes, they are all barbaric and ignorant. Enlightenment, but the most respect for ghosts and gods. I think it may not be a good thing to let Wu Dou Mi Dao change their beliefs!"

"Uh, hey!"

Luo Zheng finally understood and couldn't help but smirk.

This poisonous plan counts birds with one stone, it can be described as extremely vicious.

However, Luo Zheng likes it.

Didn't Zhang Lu want to preach, as long as he was a human being, it didn't matter whether he was a Qiang Hu or a Han Chinese.

As for those Qianghu tribes, although they are temporarily subject to Luo Zheng's lust, they are not Luo Zheng's people.If Luo Zheng can continue to be strong, those Qiang Hu people will naturally be safe and sound, and they will not dare to make trouble.

But if Luo Zheng's strength is not enough one day, these Qianghu people will definitely not succumb again.

It must be a very interesting thing for Wu Dou Mi Dao to harm the beliefs of those Qianghu people.

With such generous conditions, Zhang Lu will not refuse Luo Zheng's alliance conditions.

Hanzhong is located behind Ma Teng, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as Zhang Luken exerts a little effort to tear off Ma Teng's hind legs, Ma Teng is too late to defend. How dare he run to attack Jincheng at the risk of being copied from the rear? .

The two looked at each other, Xun Yu looked indifferent, and Luo Zheng laughed three times.

Xun Yu straightened his face and said, "My lord, there is one more thing."

Luo Zheng was in a good mood, and his brows stretched: "Wen Ruo, but it's okay to talk!"

Xun Yu said: "Although the autumn rations are good this year, our army has been fighting for days and the money and rations are consumed. The money and rations in the treasury can only be used until the beginning of spring at most. My lord once said that there is a way to solve the problem of military rations. I wonder if there is any good strategy? "

"This one……"

Luo Zheng touched his bushy chin and said: "This general does have a solution, but if this method is said, it won't work. If you don't have to ask, you will know it. After a few days, this general will It may take several months to borrow food, and during the period when the general is not here, it is up to Wen Ruo to worry about everything in Jincheng!"

Xun Yu lost his voice and said, "Where is my lord going for so long?"

Luo Zhengdao: "Don't hide Wenruo, this general is going to the Central Plains."

"What, my lord is going to the Central Plains?"

Xun Yu was even more shocked now, and hurriedly said: "It is absolutely impossible. As the master of the three armies, my lord, how can I leave Jincheng and go to the Central Plains to take risks? If a strong enemy invades, I am afraid that Jincheng will be in danger. Besides, my lord once Massacre the nobles of the Central Plains, and once their whereabouts are revealed, they will be mobilized. This matter is absolutely impossible, please take back your decision, my lord."

Luo Zhengdao: "Wen Ruo doesn't have to worry, this general has enough confidence and will not reveal his whereabouts."

"This……"

Xun Yu shook his head resolutely and said, "Even so, as the master of the three armies, my lord can't leave Jincheng for so long!"

Luo Zheng sighed: "This general doesn't want to take this risk, but the problem is that our army's food and grass can only last until the beginning of spring at most. If we don't want to find enough food and grass, we can't even feed the stomachs of the soldiers of the three armies. Don't wait If others come to fight, this general will have to disband the army. If there is another person who can get food and grass, this general will not have to go in person.”

"This……"

Xun Yu was completely dumb, speechless.

Luo Zheng said again: "The safety of this general is not a problem, the only concern is that there may be powerful enemies coming. Fortunately, this general defeated the five thousand Bingzhou iron cavalry that Lu Bu was proud of. In a short time, Lu Bu was I won't come again. As for Ma Teng, Gao Shun's [-] elite soldiers are guarding Yuzhong. Even if Ma Teng raises his troops to invade, Gao Shun's ability is enough to hold on for several months. It doesn't matter if the general leaves for a while. Besides, as long as According to Wenruo's plan, let Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu separate, cut off their money and supplies, and then form an offensive and defensive alliance with Zhang Lu, as long as Zhang Lu and Chen troops leave the pass, Ma Teng will not dare to act rashly, and Jincheng will be safe!"

Xun Yu said, "But..."

Luo Zheng said decisively: "If Wen Ruo doesn't need to persuade again, this general has made up his mind!"

Xun Yu could only sigh, and stopped persuading, but began to ponder in his heart, how to create more troubles for Lu Bu, Ma Teng and other two powerful neighbors as soon as possible, so that they would have no time for others, at least in a short period of time, they would not be able to raise troops to attack.

Time is about to enter August.

Since the beginning of spring, the land of Liangzhou has been constantly fighting.

First, several armies including Ma Teng invaded the country, and then Lu Buxing invaded the country.

Luo Zheng has not been idle, until the end of July when all kinds of invading places are repelled.

And when the flames of war were everywhere in Liangzhou, many major events also happened in Hebei, Central Plains and other places.

In the first year of Chuping, after the end of the Kwantung Allied Forces' battle against Dong, the world temporarily calmed down, and the princes from all over the country were watching, recruiting and expanding the army, while waiting for the changes in the current situation.

In this calm, people's hearts are also quietly changing.

Until the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to lead the army to attack Jiujiang and other places. Yuan Shao forced Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to surrender.

All the princes put down their pretense and no longer cared about the puppet court controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Not long after Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he was full of confidence, recruiting talents, accumulating strength, and preparing to go big. The situation in Youzhou, which is adjacent to Jizhou, has also undergone tremendous changes, attracting the attention of princes and even the imperial court.

Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, is a humble man. Since he took charge of Youzhou, he has not only won the support of the nobles, but also the nomadic people in the north. merit.

It is also a frontier fortress. Compared with Youzhou, Liangzhou and Bingzhou are far behind.

Especially in Liangzhou, the war has continued for years, and the people have been exhausted to the limit.

However, Liu Yu's soft policy was disliked by Gongsun Zan, the prefect of the Youbei Army.

Gongsun Zan is fond of advocating powerlessness, and even fights against nomads in the north all year round. He treats nomads very strongly, and because of his outstanding military exploits, he has shocked the northern part of the Great Wall, so he has many conflicts with Liu Yu due to political disagreements.

In the third year of Chuping, Master Wuhuan sent troops to Youbeiping.

Furious, Gongsun Zan hurried back to the army from Jizhou, repelled Tadun, and killed all the captured Wuhuan people. Then he raised his army, ready to smash Liucheng in one fell swoop, and wipe out these capricious Wuhuan people.

When the news reached Liucheng, he was shocked and asked Liu Yu for help.

Liu Yu had long been dissatisfied with Gonggong Zan's arrogance, so he raised [-] troops to attack You Beiping.

Gongsun Zan only had an army of more than [-]. He was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly mobilized his army to defend to the death.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu didn't understand military affairs, and after the army arrived at Hunu, because of the first spring rain, the army had to camp on the spot.But when Liu Yu chose to set up camp, he made a fatal mistake and set up his camp on the east bank of Qiushui.

Some generals believed that camping with the back of the water was a taboo for military strategists, and they should not camp with the back of the water unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, Liu Yu cited the allusion of Han Xin's last stand, and quoted the scriptures, refusing the general who made the opinion, thinking that even if the enemy invaded, the soldiers fought with their backs, and there was no way out, so they could fight bravely. enemy.

The idea is good, but the reality is skinny.

When Gongsun Zan got the news, he was overjoyed.

Regardless of the heavy rain, he personally led [-] elite soldiers to brave the wind and rain to kill the Benhu slaves, preparing for a battle.

At twilight that night, it was still raining heavily.

Amidst the thundering drums, Gongsun Zan personally led an army of [-] into the battle.

Liu Yu confidently commanded the army to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, the soldiers under his command lacked training, and most of them were rookies. In addition, it was raining heavily, so the army had no fighting spirit at all. It was just that they were confused by blood as soon as they fought. eyes.

The soldiers panicked immediately, threw their weapons and ran away.

Gongsun Zan saw it clearly, and was overjoyed immediately, and immediately swung his troops to cover up the killing.

The three thousand elite soldiers are veterans who have followed him for many years, and they are no match for the recruits under Liu Yu's command.

In another place, in another time of day, Liu Yu's [-] troops might be enough to overwhelm Gongsun Zan's [-] elite soldiers.

However, under such special weather and geographical conditions, it is impossible to give full play to the advantages of military strength.

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain.

In Liu Yu's imagination, there was a back-to-back fight, the soldiers of the three armies had no way out, and the scene of struggling to kill the enemy did not appear. The panicked recruits saw that there was no way out, and there were pursuers behind them. Instead of killing the enemy desperately, they all jumped into the river .

When the army's morale is in turmoil, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, he will be powerless to recover.

Seeing Liu Yu's army retreating, Gongsun Zan immediately pressed the whole army up and rushed down with all his might.

Under the heavy rain, countless Liu Yu soldiers fled in all directions crying and shouting, and countless people jumped into the river and drowned.

Gongsun Zan went to the front of the battle in person and rushed to the front of the battle. Eight thousand soldiers killed the enemy with all their might.

"how so!"

Liu Yu muttered in a daze, and couldn't believe his eyes.

The proud five thousand army was defeated just like that, without any suspense.

It wasn't until this time that he regretted that he didn't listen to the commanding general's words and camped on the west bank of Qiushui.

However, at this time, it was too late to say anything.

Under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, Liu Yu took the path and left.

However, the road was muddy, and the horses couldn't run at all. Liu Yu, who had lost his mind, had long since lost his mind. Under the guard of his own soldiers, he just ran aimlessly.
Gongsun Zan led hundreds of dead soldiers to chase after him. Liu Yu had no choice but to jump into the river with his own soldiers to escape.
