Great Han Empire

Chapter 615 The Heroes of Troubled Times Like the Abyss
On April, Mianchi, Hongnong County.

After Hu Zhen and Niu Fu joined forces, they hurried towards Tongguan.Zhang Yan immediately commanded the army to chase after him, and the soldiers forced Tongguan.

General Hussars Li Hong led the battalion of Generals Hussars to station in Hongnong City.A few days later, Sun Jian, the Polu general, rushed to Hongnong to meet Li Hong.The two haven't seen each other for four years since they parted in Luoyang.Naturally, I am extremely happy to reunite after a long absence.The two chatted for a while, and Sun Jian heard that Zhang Wen, Yuan Pang, and Sang Yang, the superiors and colleagues on the battlefield in the western border, were all in Jinyang now, and he couldn't help feeling very emotional, "In the past, we played border badges in the western border with Dong Zhuo, Han Sui, now we turn around and beat Dong Zhuo. Thinking about it, we are really helpless. If Mr. Zhang had listened to me and killed Dong Zhuo, what would have happened today? How could Dahan Sheji have suffered such a catastrophe?"

Li Hong comforted him a few words, and then said: "Zi Lie (Xu Rong), Yun Tian (Qu Yi), Zi Wei (Hua Xiong) will definitely come to see you if they know you are here. We haven't seen each other for many years." , should get together."

Sun Jian shook his head regretfully, "Yes, I haven't seen them for five years since the farewell to Xijiang. I heard from Yuan Shu that General Zhou Shen died of illness the year before last. Before his death, Yuan Shu went to visit General Zhou Shen. He also mentioned several of us again and again, especially the general, and he was full of praise. It's a pity...it's a pity that we will never see him again."

Li Hong had already heard Zhang Wen talk about Zhou Shen's death, but now he heard Sun Jian talk about it again, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.If there was no Zhou Shen's care and care back then, I'm afraid I would have been in danger.

"Are Zilie and the others alright?" Sun Jian asked.

"Everything is fine." Li Hong said, "Zi Lie and Yun Tian are in Pubanjin, commanding the army to attack Chang'an. Zi Wei went to attack Tongguan with the army. If you come a few days earlier, you can still see Zi Wei."

Sun Jian sighed softly: "If the challenge against King Dong Qin is successful this time, the brothers from the Western Frontier battlefield will surely be able to reunite again." He looked at Li Hong, and then asked, "The general is determined to challenge King Dong Qin this time?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "All the northern Xinjiang troops have already marched to Tongguan and Pubanjin. This is my determination. If everything goes well, I will be able to take Guanzhong and save the emperor in a few months. Brother Wentai Is the army going to Tongguan as well?"

Sun Jian smiled bitterly, and took out a letter from his pocket, "This is a letter from the teacher to the general, please read it carefully."

===

In the letter, Zhu Jun severely criticized Yan Liang, saying that he was arrogant, lawless, and ignoring the overall situation. At the most critical moment of the war, he did not attack Hangu Pass, but seized Luoyang City and the southern pass of Luoyang.Zhu Jun advised Li Hong to put the community first and learn Dong Zhuo's lessons. Under the current circumstances, it is better not to enter Luoyang, so as not to be suspected and accused by various states and counties, and the great cause of King Dong Qin will be wasted.

Li Hong's face was a little ugly.Sun Jian persuaded: "The general has a good idea of ​​who the teacher is, so the general should not blame the teacher too much."

Li Hong sneered, and put down the letter, "So, Brother Wentai is going to stick to the line between Mianchi and Xin'an, and stop our Northern Xinjiang Army from entering Luoyang?"

Sun Jian smiled helplessly, "General, please forgive me for being rude. In order to make the states and counties respect the court as soon as possible and stabilize the country, this is the only way. Please, General, understand the difficulties of the country and the pain of the common people in the world."

Sun Jian then explained Zhu Jun's meaning in detail.Zhu Jun has sent the victory report to Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Yu, Jing and other prefectures and counties as quickly as possible, saying that Luoyang has been conquered, Dong Zhuo has been defeated and retreated from Guanzhong, and the eldest princess and the court are about to return to the capital. Please send people to the capital to discuss matters immediately.Zhu Jun hoped that Li Hong would immediately invite the princess and the Jinyang court to go south, and at the same time implored Li Hong to immediately withdraw all northern Xinjiang troops stationed in Beijing.

"I have already dispatched a quick cavalry of eight hundred miles to ask the eldest princess and the imperial court to return to the capital immediately." Li Hong said, "But regarding the withdrawal of the troops stationed in Beijing, absolutely not."

Sun Jian's face was embarrassed, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes.

"There are some things that the Wentai may not know yet." Li Hong picked up several volumes of documents and handed them to Sun Jian, "In March, the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro, Bai Rao, Yu Du, and Suigu led 30 troops down the mountain and went straight to Yanzhou. Now they may They have successfully crossed the river. With Yuan Shao's troops, they can't stop Bai Rao at all. At the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army launched an attack on Yanzhou East County, intending to approach the Yellow River and join the Heishan Yellow Turban Army. Once the two Yellow Turban armies meet, Jizhou is bound to be attacked. Under such circumstances, Jizhou itself cannot be protected, so how can Mu Hanfu of Jizhou still provide food and wages for our Northern Xinjiang army to attack Chang'an?"

"I will not enter Luoyang." Li Hong said, "The main force of the northern Xinjiang army will not enter Luoyang, but in order to ensure the safety of Luoyang, I must station an appropriate number of troops in Luoyang. In order to ensure that our northern army can continue to get food from Jing and Henan after losing the food supply in Jizhou."

After Sun Jian read the documents, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The challenge of King Dong Qin is my top priority, and all states and counties will definitely support it with all their strength, so why does the general have to garrison troops in Luoyang and cause unnecessary troubles? "

Li Hong looked at Sun Jian, and asked meaningfully: "Brother Wentai, you won't tell me that Yuan Shu is in Luoyang now, right? How many people in this world want to beg Dong, how many people want to be king, don't you Know?"

"Save the country and revitalize the country, everyone will say this." Li Hong sneered, "But after all, how many people have actually done it? If Yuan Shao really wanted to ask King Dong Qin, how could he let you be the first one?" Break into Hangu Pass? Where is he now? Where is Yuan Shu?"

Sun Jian was speechless.Thinking of last month when Yuan Shu cut off his food and grass and almost pushed himself into the abyss of defeat, he immediately understood Li Hong's worry.The army is defeated, what kind of country can we save?I have become the food of others.This world has changed, and it has become more and more cruel and bloody, and there is less and less loyalty and etiquette.

"Master Zhu is loyal to the country and vows to serve the king to the death, but has he ever thought about whether the court also wants to serve the king? Does he want to serve the king immediately?" Li Hong slapped the table angrily. Dong Zhuo is second, but what about them? Where were they when I was fighting bloody battles? No matter what the purpose of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ni, these people, at least they sent troops and supplies, and raised Ask for Dong's banner, but what about the officials of other states and counties? What are they doing? They have been favored by the emperor, why are they indifferent at this time, allowing the emperor to suffer, the country to be robbed, and the people to die? These people are the traitors of the big man, betrayed the emperor, It is these indifferent and shameless state and county officials who betrayed the big man, these people are more hateful, vicious, and despicable than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and they all deserve to be killed, and they deserve death."

Sun Jian bowed his head and remained silent.Li Hong's words pierced his heart instantly like a sharp sword, making him feel the pain in his heart, and at the same time made him feel a deep existential crisis.

"If the situation has become so bad, I'm afraid this year's war against King Dong Qin will come to an end." Sun Jian sighed, "Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have been fighting fiercely for more than a month to compete for Jingzhou."

Li Hong was shocked when he heard the words. He stared at Sun Jian and asked, "Then why did you fight all the way to Hangu Pass?"

"I promised Yuan Shu that after Luoyang is defeated, I will go back and help him defeat Liu Biao." Sun Jian stood up slowly and said, "It seems that I should go back too."

===

Now the situation is obvious, Jizhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have already occupied a pivotal weight in the fight against King Dong Qin.Whoever can occupy these three states will have money and food, and the power to control the court and the fate of the country.Now that the fight against King Dong Qin has come to an end, why do you still stay here?Waiting to die?
Sun Jian thought it was funny, should he curse Dong Zhuo now, or should he thank him for giving him Yuzhou?
Li Hong will not deceive himself, he does not have any confidence in begging King Dong Qin now, on the contrary, he has a very hatred towards Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the officials of various states and counties, and he is very willing to kill him soon mean.Is Li Hong's attitude the same as that of the eldest princess and the court?If this is indeed the case, then he must find a way out as soon as possible.

Sun Jian regretted not listening to Yuan Shu.If I had known that the situation was so dire and that King Dong Qin was so elusive, I shouldn't have gone north to attack Luoyang.Now it seems that Dong Zhuo was not defeated by the three-way army, but he retreated on his own initiative.His purpose of giving up Luoyang is very simple, he just wants his group of people to fight for power, money, and territory in Luoyang.Dong Zhuo is still as powerful as before, and getting stronger and stronger.

Zhu Jun tried his best to keep Sun Jian.Today, the situation to challenge King Dong Qin is very good. The General Hussars is commanding the northern Xinjiang army to attack key points. The day of King Qin is just around the corner. How can you ignore the safety of the country and give up the great opportunity to make contributions?Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until the eldest princess and the court return to Luoyang.Now you must block the way for the Northern Xinjiang Army to enter Luoyang for me.

Sun Jian wrote back to Zhu Jun.Teacher, I have run out of money and must go back.Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are fighting fiercely. He has sent letters several times, saying that the food and wages will be cut off, and urging me to go back and help him defeat Liu Biao.Without food, the army could not continue to challenge King Dong Qin.Now I am facing this problem, and the Hussar General is also facing the same problem.What did he do in Luoyang?Tens of thousands of troops have arrived in Luoyang, are they people who eat vegetables?The Gyeonggi area is now ten rooms and nine empty, and it is very desolate. You can't see a person if you walk for dozens of miles, and you can't find anyone who wants to find vegetables.Please rest assured, teacher, he will not enter Beijing, otherwise his army will starve to death in Luoyang.I want to go back.I will stabilize Jingzhou as soon as possible and do my best to provide Luoyang with money and food support.

At the end of April, Sun Jian led his army to the Yuanyuan Pass.

Xiang Cheng, the captain stationed at the pass, asked strangely, "Your Excellency, are you going to Yingchuan?"

Sun Jian nodded.Xiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the situation in Yingchuan is very complicated now, and it is very likely that there will be a war."

Sun Jian asked in surprise: "How is this possible? Hasn't Yuzhou provided food and salaries for your Northern Army all the time? With your Northern Army here, what will happen to Yuzhou?"

Xiang Cheng scratched his head, and said helplessly, "Master Confucius died of illness in Yuzhou."

Sun Jian felt chills in his heart, "When did it happen?"

"It's been about 20 days."

How come no one told me?Sun Jian was so enraged that he almost opened his mouth to yell.

"Your Excellency doesn't know?" Xiang Cheng was even more surprised, "We have already told Master Zhu about this news, but Master Zhu didn't tell you?"

Sun Jian glared angrily, looked at Xiang Cheng and said word by word: "I am General Polu, you should report immediately."

Xiang Cheng scratched his head again, and said puzzledly: "Your Excellency is General Polu, and the food and grass are supplied by the rear general, Master Yuan. It has nothing to do with Yuzhou."

Sun Jian was choked by Xiang Cheng, and he was so angry that he didn't speak for a while.It's normal for others not to tell me that Yuzhou Mu Kongyu is dead for various reasons, but why didn't the teacher tell me?Could it be that the teacher even wanted the lives of his disciples in order to please King Dong Qin?Although the teacher didn't know that Dong Zhuo had sent him an imperial decree, or that he was already the governor of Yuzhou, but out of love for his disciples, he should say something about such a big event anyway.Maybe the teacher was too busy and forgot.

Sun Jian shook his head, calmed down, and asked, "Tell me, what happened in Yuzhou? Why is there a war?"

===

Xiang Cheng immediately explained.

When Mu Kongni of Yuzhou was seriously ill, many aristocratic families, famous scholars, disciples and former officials in Yingchuan came to visit him. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also sent people to visit him on behalf of himself and the Yuan clan and gave him a great gift.After Kong Ni died, both of them got the news immediately.

At this time, Yuan Shao was resisting the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun. When he heard that Kong Ni had died of illness, Yuan Shao immediately issued an order in the name of inheriting the system. The two generals rushed to Yuzhou with an army of [-].The five thousand army was temporarily borrowed from Chenliu County, Jiyin County and other places.If he can take the opportunity to win Yuzhou, the speed of his hegemony success will be greatly accelerated.

After Yuan Shu got the news, he immediately sent someone to make peace with Liu Biao, saying that Luoyang had been conquered and I wanted to go to Luoyang.If I stand firm in Luoyang, I will return Nanyang to you.Liu Biao was unable to attack for a long time, which cost both troops and money. It was the time when riding a tiger was difficult. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to Xiangyang.Yuan Shu immediately dispatched Qiao Rui, who was stationed in Luyang, to Yangdi with [-] soldiers, telling him to take Yuzhou no matter what. The imperial court is about to go south, whether you listen to the imperial court or not, you have to give it face, otherwise you will arouse public anger.

Yuan Shu hurried back to Wancheng, trying to trick Liu He into holding the blank imperial decree.He thought that if Liu He refused, he would kill him.But when Yuan Shu arrived in Wancheng, he was dumbfounded. He found that the two thousand cavalry from Gongsun Yue and Youzhou had arrived, and Liu He changed from his usual humility, and suddenly became arrogant.Yuan Shu was helpless, pleading and threatening, but Liu He resolutely refused.Yuan Shu became impatient, grabbed Liu He's lapel with both hands, pulled his neck and shouted, "If you don't give it, I will skin you today." Liu He understood his temper and knew that he was a rascal, so he was not afraid of him. , also shouted with a loud voice: "I just don't give it, you dare to peel my skin?"

Yuan Shu was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.Liu He also didn't want to fight with him. Two thousand people and two thousand horses had to rely on Yuan Shu for food and wages. If there was a fight, everyone would starve.Liu He said, Gonglu, what's the use of grabbing now?In the future, there will be an imperial decree from the imperial court, and you will let it out.Yuan Shu gasped, what do you know, kid?In the future, the imperial court will either be controlled by the Hushi General or Yuan Shao. How can I listen to the imperial court?Now that I have snatched Yuzhou, no one will dare to snatch it from me in the future. On the contrary, if Yuzhou is snatched by General Hushi or Yuan Shao, I will not even be able to keep Nanyang in the future, because I still have that wolf Liu Biao behind me.Do you have the heart to watch me wander around begging for food?

Liu He thought about it too, but this blank imperial decree could not be given to Yuan Shu anyway. He said to Yuan Shu, how about it, I will let these two thousand cavalry help you fight Yuzhou.Isn't it just to beat Yuan Shao, a few back and forth can make them go away.Yuan Shu was overjoyed, he put Liu He on the shoulder and said, it's still you who is righteous.In my opinion, you might as well bring this imperial decree back to Youzhou, and say that it is the imperial decree of today's Zen in Taifu Liu Yu, haha...

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are confident that they can occupy Yuzhou because Runan and Yingchuan are the foundation of the Yuan clan, but Yuzhou is not only the foundation of the Yuan clan, but also the foundation of the Xu clan.Chen Guoxiang Xu Ju (chang) and his clan brother Xu Jing were not active in fighting against Luoyang, but they were very active in occupying Yuzhou.Before his death, Kong Ni told the officials of Yuzhou Prefecture that after my death, the imperial court may not be able to send officials to succeed me in a short time.In order to ensure the stability of Yuzhou, you can temporarily ask Chen Guoxiang, Mr. Xu Yu, to lead the state pastor on his behalf.Based on these words, Xu Ju asked Xu Jing to lead Chen Guoxiang on his behalf, and hurried to Yangdi with 5000 troops to preside over the affairs of Yuzhou.

During the period when Kong Ni was seriously ill, Tian Chou was assigned to lead Yingchuan County, taking charge of all the affairs of Yuzhou, and raising food and grass for the army, considering that the matter of seeking Dong would require the help of the Northern Xinjiang Army.After Yan Liang entered the pass, he was worried that Tian Chou was weak, so he deliberately transferred the three thousand soldiers and horses from Yuzhou back to Yangdi.After receiving Tian Chou's emergency, he transferred three thousand soldiers and horses to Tian Chou, so that Yang Di had six thousand soldiers and horses.Tian Chou holds heavy soldiers in his hands and is courageous.He sent someone to tell Xu Jue that you don't want to come. Master Kong said before he died that I will take charge of Yuzhou affairs for the time being.After the eldest princess and the court return to Luoyang, I will leave Yuzhou. Then you will come to lead Yuzhou Mu.

Xu Yu was angry at that moment.You little brat, how old are you?You don't even have any hair on your mouth, so you dare to talk to me like that?Master Kong asked you to represent Yuzhou affairs during his serious illness, not because of your great ability, but because of the power of the General Hussars.You count that onion? "Call me..." Xu Ju was furious, and led his army to the city of Yangdi.Of course Tian Chou would not fight him. Tian Chou's purpose is very simple, which is to drag this matter to the princess and the court to Beijing, and then the court will send a trustworthy minister to be the shepherd of Yuzhou.If Yuzhou is now occupied by people, it will be difficult for the imperial court to control Yuzhou in the future.

Inside the city of Yangzhai is Tian Chou, outside the city is Chen Guoxiang Xu Yu, and Yuan Shu's subordinate Qiao Rui and Youzhou Gongsun Yue who helped Yuan Shu rob Yuzhou. Zhou Ang, the governor of Yuzhou appointed by Yuan Shao, is on the way and will arrive soon. Now if If Sun Jian goes again, the five forces will compete for Yuzhou.Yuzhou not only wants to fight, but it is still a bigger and bigger battle.

Xiang Cheng finally said: "My lord, if you want to borrow money and food in Yuzhou, the timing is not right now, I'm afraid..."

Sun Jian sighed: "Everyone raised their troops to fight against King Dong Qin. They all wanted to save the country. Why did they kill each other? Now Dong Zhuo's defeat is imminent, and King Qin is about to succeed. We don't work together, but we fight each other for our own selfishness. How can the country not perish?" He patted Xiang Cheng on the shoulder and said gratefully, "Thank you. You tell me this, do you want me to lead my troops south to help you Lord Tian?"

Xiang Cheng blushed, and giggled a few times in embarrassment.He did have this intention, so he took the trouble to say a lot.In fact, if Xiang Cheng knew that Sun Jian was also here for Yuzhou, he might kill him, so he wouldn't say anything.

Sun Jian said with a smile: "The general has you loyal subordinates, why worry about the country's prosperity? The world is not peaceful? Well, I will go south to Yangdi."

"Go, brothers, go, go home..."

===

Beginning in mid-April, the Northern Xinjiang Army set up [-] trebuchets under Tongguan, throwing stones on the pass every day.The soldiers of the army camped at the pass and did not move, and did not start a battle to win the pass.

At the same time, the northern border army in the direction of Pubanjin stopped its crossing attack.Xu Rong led his troops to Chen Bing on the bank of the Yellow River, while Qu Yi led his troops back to Linfen Xingyuan.

At the end of April, Dong Zhuo wanted to test Li Hong's mind, so he appointed Guanglu doctor Gai Xun to bring the imperial decree to Tongguan, and pretended to be ordered by the emperor to scold Li Hong, and then told him to retreat back to northern Xinjiang. Guard the frontier fortress.Li Hong accepted the imperial decree, and then wrote back to the emperor, saying that the minister would not hesitate to be smashed to save the emperor.Going back to Dong Zhuo again, this time I have no way out, and I have to defeat Guanzhong no matter what.If you return to Xijiang as soon as possible, I will be grateful.

He sent people to send memorials and letters to Tongguan, leaving behind Gai Xun, "Your Excellency has lost a lot of weight, and his health looks very bad, why don't you stay?"

Gai Xun has aged a lot, and his temple hair has turned gray. It is hard to imagine that a few years ago, he was still a hale and hearty elder with black beard and hair.Gai Xun sighed: "Thank you, General, for your kindness. I'd better go back. My family members are all in Chang'an. If I stay here alone, I will feel even more uncomfortable. Now the Dahan community has withered and fallen, and my home is dilapidated. Alive, in fact, is no different from a dead person.”

Li Hong thought of the dead Fu Xie (xie), looked at the dejected Gai Xun in front of him, and thought of the many brothers who died on the battlefield in Xijiang, and couldn't help twitching in his heart, "My lord, stay, definitely stay."

Li Hong wrote another letter to Dong Zhuo.Mr. Gai is old and not in good health. I want to leave him in northern Xinjiang to spend his old age peacefully.I implore you to think about the past when we lived and died together on the battlefield in Xijiang, and think about the heroic spirit of us fighting the enemy side by side in the battle of Lingwu Valley.Your Excellency is a hero, and if you are a hero, you will not let your robes suffer the pain of family ruin. I implore you to send Lord Gai’s family to Northern Xinjiang. I will be very grateful.

Without further ado, Dong Zhuo immediately sent someone to send Gai Xun's family to Tongguan, and gave him a great gift.Dong Zhuo wrote back to Li Hong, three of my brothers died at the hands of the northern border army in the battle of Luoyang.Looking forward to a decisive battle with you at the city of Chang'an.

After Li Hong received the letter, he immediately ordered Zhang Yan and Yang Feng to lead their troops across the river and return to Linfen Xingyuan.Zhang Yan asked, is it too early to withdraw the troops at this time?
Li Hong shook his head and sighed, "Man is not as good as God, Jizhou has changed." He handed Li Wei's letter to Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, "According to our assumption, after Han Fu and Yuan Shao's internal strife, there must be If one is gone, the other one will definitely ask us for help under the pressure of the Yellow Turban Army, so that we can enter Jizhou in a legitimate way, who knows..."

"Gongsun Zan went south and entered Jizhou." Zhang Yan said in surprise, "Han Fu has [-] to [-] troops, and he can defeat Yuan Shao according to reason. Why did he ask for help from the Tai Tuo instead? Did his subordinates betray him?" He took refuge in Yuan Shao?"

"Han Fu is really useless." Yang Feng said angrily, "We gave him four counties, and he has food and an army. With such a strong strength, he still can't beat Yuan Shao. It's a surprise. Does it look honest?"

"It's not that Han Fu is honest and loyal, but that the Yuan faction is too powerful, far beyond our expectations." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "We completely miscalculated the situation in Jizhou."

"Now our primary problem is that the food and pay of the army is in danger of being cut off at any time. Due to Han Fu's problem, the Jizhou Army cannot resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army may enter Jizhou in advance. As a result, the southern counties of Jizhou will soon be attacked. The looting of the Yellow Turban Army will cause refugees to flock north. Because of this, Han Fu urgently asked for help from the Taifu, and Gongsun Zan also led an army of [-] to go south this month. Ten thousand of Gongsun Zan's [-] troops were Youzhou cavalry. With the addition of [-] infantry, Jizhou provided him with more food and pay than we did. In other words, Han Fu would not be able to last for a few days. After weighing the two, he would certainly cut off our supply of food and pay. Secondly, Gongsun Zan went south , we have no excuse to enter Jizhou, which is the most serious problem."

"If Jizhou cuts off the food and pay for us, we can't solve the problem even if we withdraw part of the army. Hongnong County must keep troops to garrison here, and if we want to keep the troops, we must have food and pay." Zhang Yan asked, "I don't know about Yuzhou and Jingzhou. How is the situation? Can we buy food?"

"The situation over there is even worse." Li Hong smiled wryly. "We have the money. According to Li Wei, a lot has been minted recently, but the food is not necessarily the same, because there is a fight over there."

Li Hong gave a brief account of what happened in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, "The most urgent thing is to protect the northern border first. Your three armies rushed northward. Qizhi (Yang Feng) immediately blocked all the passes into the northern border, and no refugee was allowed to enter." This is a major matter that concerns the survival of northern Xinjiang, so you must not act on your will."

Yang Feng nodded solemnly.

"Feiyan, you immediately stationed in Changshan, let Yuntian (Qu Yi) immediately stationed in Handan, and take back the four Tuntian counties for me. Han Fu couldn't keep it, so we had to come by ourselves."

"General, if there is a conflict between us and Youzhou's army..." Zhang Yan looked at Li Hong and asked, "What should we do?"

"One for you, one for Yuntian, and one for Qizhi, don't you understand this arrangement?" Li Hong said very dissatisfied, "Master Taifu is too much, for such a big matter, he didn't report it to the court, but he did it without permission." Lord. There is also Gongsun Zan, who didn’t even say hello when a [-]-strong army marched south to Jizhou. What’s even more annoying is Han Fu, who is in charge of the court and doesn’t understand any rules. Asking Youzhou for help is such a big matter. , He didn’t even go to the imperial court. In their eyes, apart from themselves, apart from their own states and counties, where else is the eldest princess? And the court? And me, the great general of the hussars?”

Li Hong slapped the table with his palm, and said murderously: "I only have one goal, and that is to take Jizhou as soon as possible. As long as Jizhou is taken down, you can do whatever you want, don't worry too much. If something happens, we will There is the eldest princess, the imperial court, and an army of one hundred thousand, what are you afraid of?"
