Great Han Empire

Chapter 890 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
In April, Yanzhou, Dingtao, the general Xingyuan.

After the general was ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, he became busy again.The leisurely days of the past few months have become his fond memories.In order to take care of him, Fengxue did not return to the post house in the city, but lived in Xingyuan.Because of the wind and snow, the general did not deal with official duties day and night like in the past.Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Zhao Xing and others always reminded him at the right time to go back to eat with his wife, or told him that it was already late at night, and his wife was still waiting in the military tent, so don't exhaust her. Body.As long as Li Hong hears the word "Madam", no matter how busy he is with the official business at hand, he will resolutely put it down or ask Fu Gan and others to continue to deal with it. At that time, the horse galloped along the bank of Jishui River with the wind and snow.

The eldest princess and Mrs. Xiaoyu were obviously also worried about Fengxue, so they specially dispatched a female official and a maid from the Palace and the General's Mansion to Xingyuan, and asked them to take care of Fengxue's daily life.Fengxue originally had four junior junior sisters from Fuyu country, but because of getting old, they returned to outside the Great Wall one after another, and now there are only two maidservants from the Niutou tribe left.Although everyone is very concerned about the wind and snow, except when she is with Li Hong, she is depressed at other times. She often wanders alone by the river alone on a horse, looking at the distant sky, and silently thinking about the desert in the desert. relatives.

Every time Li Hong saw Feng Xue's desolate back and her sad eyes, he felt a dull pain in his heart.Although she has been by her side all the time, her heart is in the desert, on the boundless prairie that belongs to her.

"When the world is settled and the country is stable, I will take you back to the desert." Li Hong hugged her tightly, looked at the blue sky in the north, and swore secretly.We came out of the desert together, and we will go back to the desert together in the future, and we will go back together.

In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has concentrated its forces on conquering the Central Plains and calming down the world as soon as possible. For this reason, maintaining the continuous stability of northern Xinjiang has become the focus of the court.At present, only Kirby bear is posing a threat to the security of northern Xinjiang. In order to ensure that the army will have peace of mind when they attack Luoyang, the imperial court hastily ordered the left chariot general Xian Yufu who is in northern Xinjiang to recruit Kirby bear as soon as possible.

After Xian Yufu received the imperial edict, he ordered Xian Yuyin, Li Su, Yu Peng and other northern Xinjiang generals to immediately send people to the Great Xianbei Mountains to find the Xianbei people.

Kebixiong, Mijia and others led thousands of tribes from the central and eastern Xianbei to spend a cold winter in the Great Xianbei Mountains, and then began to prepare to fight south, but with their current strength, they could not fight back The area between Yunyuan and Wuhou Qinshui.When they were at a loss, the people of Fuyu suddenly sent someone to send a message saying that the Han people were looking for them and wanted to discuss with them about recruiting, and asked them to contact the Han people as soon as possible.

After discussing carefully with Mi Jia, Xiong Ba, Li Kuangfeng, Que Kun and others, Kebixiong decided to surrender to the big man.For them now, survival is the top priority. With the entire Hu tribe in the desert prostrate at the feet of the big man, continuing to fight against the big man will undoubtedly lead to their own destruction.

"The commander-in-chief once said before his death that if you want to use the strength of the Han people to strengthen your own strength, you must be patient and wait for the right time." Kirby Xiong said regretfully, "I was too impulsive and impatient. Look Shemoci and Tuobatao, look at Loulu and Tadun from Karasuma, look at Liu Bao and Liu Ming from the Huns, how fast have they developed in the past few years? Seeing the situation clearly, I continued to blindly charge in the desert with the thoughts of the past. In the end, I was defeated again and again. I was forced to a desperate situation, and even survival became a luxury. I failed the trust of the commander, and let everyone follow I have suffered a lot. I have decided that for ten years, within ten years, I will follow Uncle Leopard, obey him, and do whatever he asks me to do. Ten years later, we will make a comeback.”

Lie Kuangfeng and Fatty Suli were ordered to go south to Dayan Mountain and surrender to the big man.

After Xian Yufu saw Lie Kuangfeng, he immediately asked him to write a letter home to the general and Mrs. Fengxue to report his safety.Hearing that Fengxue had been worrying about the safety of his relatives day and night for more than a year, and his health was getting worse, Li Kuangfeng couldn't help but shed tears, "Is my sister okay?"

"The general is with her all the time, it's nothing serious. You write the letter immediately, and I'll send it out with a fast ride of eight hundred miles."

Seeing Xian Yufu's urgent letter, Li Hong thought that something important had happened in northern Xinjiang, so he hurriedly opened the soap pouch.In addition to a roll of bamboo slips, there were also several wooden tablets in the soap pouch, on which were engraved many pictures with simple lines.Li Hong only took one look, then jumped up, and under the horrified eyes of everyone in the tent, he rushed out of the tent like flying.

Wang Ling, Wang Chang, Zhao Xing and others didn't know what happened, so they rushed out after them.Fu Gan hurried to the case table and picked up the letter sent from Beijiang.Cao Ren, the supervisor under the door, was shocked when he saw the general's galloping figure, and rushed to catch up with dozens of guards.

"Xiaoxue...Xiaoxue..." Li Hong rushed into the army tent, hugged Fengxue, and shouted excitedly, "Xiaoxue, Brother Fengxue has sent a letter, Kirby Bear, Que Kun and the others are back, and they want to return to Huoyunyuan gone."

Surprised and happy at the same time, Feng Xue hugged Li Hong with his backhand, weeping with joy.

Seeing the general and his wife hugging each other in broad daylight, the two maids couldn't help but blushed and were stunned. Then they realized that they shouldn't be staying in the military tent right now, so they hurriedly held hands and ran out in a panic.

The guards outside the tent were densely packed, as if they were facing an enemy.Any, Wang Ling, Zhao Xing and the others were about to go in, when they suddenly saw two beautiful maids running out of the military tent, they all froze for a moment.These two maids are too beautiful, with delicate appearance and elegant temperament. Although Ren Ren, Wang Ling and others often see such beautiful women as Feng Xue and ignore ordinary beauties, they also stared wide-eyed this time. Looked and looked.When did two little beauties appear in the general's tent?Is this the one just sent from Jinyang to serve his wife?It seems that there are not so many beauties in the palace, and any two of them are so beautiful.

Seeing the shining swords and guns, the two maids turned pale with fright, screamed repeatedly, and instinctively turned around and ran away, but the general and his wife inside the tent were hugging each other, and they were worried that they would be seen by the soldiers outside the tent. Backed off.

"What's wrong with the general?" Ren Ran asked softly, "Are you okay?" He was always cold, but this time he was unusually gentle, even with a few smiles on his face.

Zhao Xing next to him accidentally saw the arbitrary expression, and couldn't help laughing, "Qiu, why did you change your face today?"

He stared at him arbitrarily, and was about to speak, but saw one of the older maids say frightenedly: "The general is in the tent, with his wife."

Everyone knew that the general was fine, and immediately relaxed their nervousness.After he relaxed, his eyes fixed on the two beauties immediately, and he talked too much. You talk to each other, looking for trouble when there is nothing to do.The two little maids had probably never seen such a scene before. Their faces were blushing, their heads were lowered, terrified and uneasy, and their delicate bodies began to tremble.

"It's all gone, it's all gone." Fu Gan's voice came over suddenly, "Go and do whatever you want, don't hang around here."

The guards couldn't care less about looking at the beauties, and hurriedly dispersed.

"What's going on?" Fu Gan approached randomly and asked, "What's wrong with the general?"

"General Zuo Cheqi sent his wife a letter from home." Fu Gan said in a low voice, "Kirby Bear is back again. The general is in the tent..." His hand pointing to the military tent suddenly stopped, and his eyes couldn't help looking at Looking at the faces of the two maids standing at the door of the military tent, "What's going on?"

The two maids also saw Fu Gan.Fu Gan is tall and handsome, and has served in the two governments for many years, so he is naturally quite powerful.When he asked so casually, the two maids became even more nervous, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"This is just sent by the eldest princess from Jinyang." Wang Ling explained.

"Are all the maids in the palace so beautiful?" Zhao Xing approached Fu Gan and asked in a low voice.

Fu Gan glared at him, "Go back to work."

"Brother, you have two wives-to-be, both of whom are beauties. Of course you don't like them." Zhao Xing said cheekily, "Brother, after my sister-in-law is married, remember to ask me if she is still beautiful." The younger sister. Last time Zhongda (Sima Yi) said that his younger sisters were better than each other, and they were all..."

"It's not up to you to decide on this matter." Fu Qian shook his head repeatedly, interrupting him, "Your great-grandfather is still alive, how dare you speak up?"

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his hands high, and sighed, "Heaven, please give me a beautiful woman."

Wang Ling, Wang Chang, and Ren Ran laughed wildly when they saw Zhao Xing's expression of despair.

The two maids kneeling on the ground couldn't help laughing, hiding their faces and laughing.

Feng Xue's mood is much better, and she often rides and shoots with a group of personal guards from the General's Mansion.The two maids followed the madam inseparably, and sometimes they also learned to ride horses and shoot arrows under the instigation of the wind and snow. It was the guards who swarmed up and rushed to be the "flower protectors", creating a mess.

The laughter on the embankment is like the bright spring in the Central Plains, which makes people feel warm.

As the spring plowing in various places draws to a close, the court's preparations for an attack are in full swing, but the general's final decision has not yet been made.

The eldest princess and the prime minister Cai Yong, Taiwei Xu Rong, Shang Shuling Li Wei and other important officials in the court repeatedly urged the general to make an immediate decision so that the court could quickly launch an attack deployment.

Taiwei Xu Rong advocated attacking key points first, while Guang Luxun Zhang Yan advocated attacking Luoyang first. These two attack strategies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was difficult for Li Hong to make a decision for a while.

Conquering Luoyang first will greatly promote ZTE's great cause, and the benefits are self-evident.

If you attack Guanzhong first, then the time to attack Luoyang will be delayed, and the longer it will be for Yuan Shao and other rebels to recover, and Luoyang will be harder to attack. This strategy did not get the approval of the eldest princess and many ministers in Jinyang.

Li Hong, Qu Yi, Zhao Yun, Yushi, Fan Li, Xun You, Fu Gan and other civil and military officials discussed and weighed repeatedly. The debate was very fierce, but just like the situation in Jinyang, the differences of opinion were too great.

Li Hong once wrote to Xian Yufu to ask for his opinion.Xian Yufu answered simply, to fight Luoyang, but Li Hong tended to fight Guanzhong first. He originally wanted to get the support of Xian Yufu, but now it has become the consensus of the civil and military officials of the imperial court to fight Luoyang. Only a very small number of people insist on fighting Guanzhong first. , which made it difficult for Li Hong to make a decision.

The imperial court was obviously worried that Li Hong's decision would not be conducive to the advancement of ZTE's great cause, so after the beginning of spring, Huangfu Li was hurriedly sent to Chang'an, and cavalry was sent to Xiliang to join Pound, forcing Han Sui to make a decision as soon as possible to join forces with the northern Xinjiang army Attack Luoyang.In the latest letter, the court said that it had received Huangfu Li's reply, saying that Han Sui's tone had softened, but the conditions were a little harsher.

In the middle of the night, the big tent of the Chinese army was brightly lit.

The general stood in front of the huge map, looking at Guanzhong on the map, thinking silently.

Fu Qian walked gently behind Li Hong, "General, it's almost time, you should go back, Madam is still waiting for you."

"I'm not going back." Li Hong shook his hand, "I've told Madam Ren Ran."

Knowing Li Hong's temper, Fu Gan didn't persuade him any more, "General, attacking Luoyang is what everyone expects, why do you..." Fu Gan hesitated to speak, "General, is there anything wrong with making the decision to attack Luoyang? "

"Do you know who are the main ministers who opposed the attack on Luoyang?"

"Master Xu Rong, General of the Left Guard, Lord Qu Yi, Former Imperial Servant, Lord Gai Xun, Minister of the Young House, Lord Jia Xu, General Zheng Xi, Lord Pang De, General Li Wei, Lord Hua Xiong, and you, General Fu Gan." Suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "People from Xiliang, except for the Taiwei and you, are all from Xiliang."

"Zi Lie (Xu Rong) has been in Xiliang for nearly ten years, and I also know many Xiliang people, such as General Huangfu, your father, and Mr. Bianzhang, Beigong Boyu..." Li Hong turned to look Looking at Fu Gan, he sighed softly, "We all know what Guanzhong means to Xiliang people? That is the dream of Xiliang people for nearly a hundred years, and it is the hope of Xiliang people to get rid of poverty and war. , and it was the main reason why Bian Zhang and Han Sui raised the banner and betrayed the imperial court."

Li Hong reached out and patted Fu Gan on the back, and said helplessly, "Han Sui will never give up Guanzhong."

"But the imperial court doesn't think so, and the eldest princess doesn't think so either." Fu Gan said, "They think that with the current strength of Hebei, it is enough to force Han Sui to surrender."

"Bow your head and proclaim yourself a minister?" Li Hong smiled wryly and shook his head, "In the first year of Zhongping, when Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu started to revolt, what was the strength of the court at that time? Is it worse than the current court? The imperial court at that time was ten times stronger than the current imperial court, but did the people of Xiliang surrender?

"I am very worried and terrified, because today's imperial court has begun to be blindly arrogant, beginning to think that the world will be fixed, and ZTE's great cause will be within reach. They have thrown away the lessons of the past."

Fu Gan's face was heavy.

"I can say with certainty that Han Sui will soon agree to the imperial court's request, and the Northern Frontier Army in Hedong will enter Guanzhong immediately, but the people of Xiliang will turn against them immediately, and the Northeast Frontier Army in Hedong is very likely to be wiped out. Even if Yang Feng led the Hebei army to successfully break through the encirclement, Hedong would surely fall into the flames of war. The northern army fought on two fronts, and Hebei was unable to support them, so they had to give up attacking Luoyang and instead defend Hedong. Once Hedong was destroyed, Hebei would be in short supply of wealth. , the Northern Xinjiang Army is bound to be in a hurry." Li Hong walked to the map and tapped Guanzhong on the map, "In this way, Han Sui's goal will be achieved. Hebei, Guanzhong, and Luoyang will stand together, and we will lose With the advantage of pacifying the world, the following battles will become more and more difficult to fight."

"Han Sui really dare to do this?"

"What do you think?" Li Hong smiled slightly, "Han Sui has struggled repeatedly between life and death for more than ten years. To him, negotiating peace, betrayal, and defection are as simple as eating, as natural as breathing air, and he comes at his fingertips. ,effortlessly."

"Why didn't the general give an explanation to the court?" Fu Gan asked after hesitating.

"Lord Taiwei is in Jinyang, and he will say everything he needs to say. If no one listens to his words, my guess will be even less convincing." Li Hong pointed out, "Except for Lord Quyi, this Many people in Zuo Xingyuan think that Han Sui dares to openly confront Hebei in today's situation? They are too far away from Xiliang, and they don't know Xiliang people, especially Han Sui, or they don't I don’t know about Han Sui. Master Zhang Wen led us to fight Han Sui all the way to Jincheng, but what happened? When I went to appease him under the order, his momentum was higher than mine, as if he was defeated. He, but us. He is not discouraged under that kind of disadvantage, not to mention that now he occupies Guanzhong, and there are strong supporters such as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao behind him. What is he afraid of? He has controlled the initiative on the battlefield in Guanzhong, He has an absolute chance of winning. As for Xiliang, he has nothing to worry about. Does Hebei dare to take the mess of Xiliang? As long as he moves Xiliang people to Guanzhong, we will face the situation between Han Sui and the Qiang people How long can we stay in Xiliang? Xiliang belongs to Xiliang people, and no one can stand there."

"The advantage of the Central Plains War is that we have entered the Central Plains and established the advantage of calming the world." Li Hong walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "The disadvantage is that the ministers in the court, including Many generals of the Northern Army think that Luoyang is already in their pockets, and that Hebei's power is strong enough to sweep the world."

"General, you have to consider that if you strongly oppose the attack on Luoyang, the eldest princess and many ministers in the court may think that you have..."

"I have the intention of usurping? Am I planning to plot something wrong?" Li Hong laughed and shook his head indifferently, "Don't think of people so despicable. After so many years, the government and the public have seen clearly who I am. At this moment Whether it is the eldest princess or the ministers, the first thing that comes to mind is Zhongxing Dahan Sheji, how to achieve the goal of stability and Zhongxing Sheji in the fastest shortcut. As for wanting to kill me, that is a matter of the future. From the day I entered the territory of the Han Dynasty Since then, there have been countless people who wanted to kill me, but I am still alive, on the contrary, those who wanted to kill me seem to die very quickly."

Fu Qian couldn't help but laugh.

"Now, I want a reason, a reason to attack Guanzhong immediately." Standing in front of the map, Li Hong said to himself with his arms green.
