Great Han Empire

Chapter 894 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
In the distance, a knight was crushed under the huge body of the war horse, struggling with all his might, shouting like crazy.

Ji Feng's murderous aura gradually subsided, he slowly straightened up and walked towards the opponent.The pawn who heard the yelling was a woman. Could this be the woman who wants to marry me?

Cao Zhang thought he was going to die, but Ji Feng suddenly took back the little black axe.The blood from the little black ax dripped onto Cao Zhang's face, and the pungent smell made him fierce.He got up, staggered and rushed to Jifeng again, "I'm going to kill you."

Ji Feng didn't even look back, and amidst the frightened screams of the cavalry pawns, he hit Cao Zhang's head with an axe. "When..." With a sound, the battle helmet on Cao Zhang's head suddenly collapsed, and blood flowed down Cao Zhang's cheeks.Cao Zhang felt his eyes go dark, the golden stars danced wildly, and then fell headlong at Jifeng's feet.

Ji Feng walked up to the cavalry in two or three steps, and pulled off the cavalry's helmet. A handsome and elegant face, a pair of sad and painful eyes suddenly reflected in Ji Feng's heart.Ji Feng suffocated for a while, and his heart beat suddenly.He looked at Cao Yue in disbelief, and his vigorous body trembled slightly.This is my woman?

"Please, don't kill my brother..." Cao Yue's cry suddenly awakened Ji Feng.

Ji Feng's blood was boiling, he was so excited that he almost yelled, he nodded at Cao Yue, then hugged Cao Yue hard, and pulled her out from under the dead horse.When he held Cao Yue's delicate body and smelled the faint fragrance from Cao Yue's body, he was drunk and felt like he was dreaming.

Wang Ling, Ren Ran, and Mao Jie rushed forward one after another.

Cao Zhang fainted, bleeding all over his face.Cao Yue held her brother in her arms, crying and screaming.

"You broke his head, broke his head..." Mao Jie was furious, pointing at Ji Feng and others and yelling, completely losing his composure and demeanor just now, "I want to sue you in front of the general, I I want to sue you..."

Ji Feng, Wan Wan sneered and remained silent.Wang Ling pointed at Mao Jie, and shouted angrily: "Master Mao, you deliberately provoked this matter, don't beat me up."

"Don't talk to him." He waved his hand forcefully, "Set up camp here and leave tomorrow."

In the middle of May, Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Huangfu Li lost his patience, and he solemnly warned Han Sui that if Han Sui still refused to allow the Northern Army to cross the river and enter Guanzhong before the end of this month, and refused to join forces to attack Luoyang, the Northern Army would launch an attack across the river and attack Guanzhong.

Han Sui turned a deaf ear to Huangfu Li's threat, he still said that the Jinyang court must first agree to his conditions, otherwise nothing will be discussed.Han Sui's conditions were too extreme, and it was impossible for the Jinyang court to agree.Han Sui demanded that the court immediately allow Pang De to take back the five counties in Hexi with a large army, and demanded that the court immediately allocate to Xiliang five years of relief money and food, food, grass and military equipment for [-] frontier troops, and money and materials needed to repair the frontier pass.Han Sui opened his mouth like a lion, and the Jinyang court couldn't do it at all. Even if the Jinyang court made concessions, they could agree to Han Sui's conditions first, but the northern Xinjiang army would definitely not be able to attack Luoyang.

Huangfu Li believed that Han Sui was simply blackmailing.

Han Sui said that Xiliang is the Xiliang of the great Han, and it is also the Xiliang of Han Sui and the 30 Xiliang people. If the imperial court insists on abandoning Xiliang regardless of Xiliang's life and death, why should I and the 30 Xiliang people Want to give up Guanzhong?Are we still guilty of protecting our homeland and the western border of the great Han?Guanzhong is Xiliang's strong backing, and Xiliang can only survive if it has the support of Guanzhong. Everyone knows this truth.Now that the imperial court can't protect Xiliang, and can't solve the problem of the Qiang people's invasion in Xiliang, can't they let the Xiliang people solve it themselves?How can there be such a reason in the world?
Before the imperial court completely stabilized the western border, even if it occupied Guanzhong, conquered Luoyang, crusaded against rebellion, and pacified the world, it still could not rejuvenate the great Han.Looking at the decline of the Great Han Dynasty in the past few decades, doesn't it mean that the stability of Western Xinjiang is important to the fate of Han Zuo?The imperial court wants to attack Luoyang and pacify the world, and I will not stop it, but the imperial court wants me to give up Guanzhong and Xiliang, and I cannot agree.Xiliang was lost and destroyed, not only the 30 Xiliang people were displaced and mourned, but the big man would also go to the end of the road.

Now Xiliang people are willing to guard the territory and rely on the powerful forces in Guanzhong to guard the vast western frontier. The imperial court can sweep the world under the command of the eldest princess and the general without any worries.When the world is stabilized and the great Han is revitalized, the people of Xiliang will not only return the imperial court a prosperous Guanzhong, but also return the imperial court a complete and stable western border. What's wrong with that?
The imperial court has no ability to guard the western border, nor does it allow Xiliang people to guard the western border.In your hearts, do you have the mountains and rivers of Western Xinjiang?Are there 30 people in Xijiang?When you decided to give up Xiliang, did you ask Xiliang people?Have you asked the 30 people in Xiliang?Have you asked the countless heroes buried in Xiliang?Have you ever asked about the land covered with the blood of heroes?

Huangfu Li was speechless and urgently wrote to Jinyang.Han Sui was determined to defend Guanzhong and begged the court to make an immediate decision.

Fengji hurried to Chang'an.

Yuan Shao said in the letter that Brother Wen Yue was able to stick to his promise and refused to let the Northern Xinjiang Army set foot in Sanfu, which bought me time to readjust and deploy troops, and he was very grateful.Guanzhong was originally owned by Yuan Shao, but it was snatched by Han Sui. Now Yuan Shao is not only unable to retake Guanzhong, but also treats Han Sui politely, thanking Han Sui for helping him block the northern army. One can imagine the grief and helplessness in his heart.

Feng Ji gave Han Sui a detailed introduction to the current situation.

At the beginning of April, Sun Ce was seriously injured and died, and the situation in Jiangdong took a sharp turn for the worse.

In order to defend Jiangdong, Sun Quan must send people to discuss peace with Hebei. In order to prevent Cao Cao from seizing Jiangdong, Hebei will definitely come forward to restrain him. In this way, Cao Cao and Sun Quan on both sides of the Yangtze River entered a stage of confrontation.

The emergence of the confrontation between the north and south banks of the Yangtze River will give the northern army the opportunity to concentrate their forces to attack Luoyang, and at the same time give Sun Quan and Zhou Yu the opportunity to concentrate their forces to attack Jingzhou.

If Jiangdong misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it will always be under the attack of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Cao Cao in Jiangbei. It must get rid of this crisis immediately so that Jiangdong can concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao in Jiangbei and get time to recover and stabilize.Once the Jiangdong Army attacked Jingzhou, Liu Biao would be dragged on the Jiangxia battlefield, and he would not be able to support Luoyang in time.

In the absence of support from Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei must invest more troops on the Henan and Yingchuan battlefields in order to prevent the northern army from attacking Luoyang. At this time, Guanzhong is in danger, because Yuan Shao's main force is at this moment They are all in the Kanto area, and they can no longer help Han Sui.

The Xiliang people have limited strength and cannot fight against the Northern Xinjiang army alone.Once Guanzhong was lost, Luoyang was surrounded, and Yuan Shao was in danger. Therefore, if you want to solve Luoyang's crisis, the key is to defend Guanzhong, and defending Guanzhong is directly related to the survival of Xiliang people, so the two families have been imprisoned so far. tightly bound together.

If Yuan Shao and Han Sui could join forces to attack the northern army in Guanzhong, and Chen Bing Huanghe threatens Hedong, the northern army in the Central Plains would have to abandon Luoyang and withdraw its troops to defend.

The Guanzhong War has become a decisive battle to solve the current crisis and form a tripartite situation.

After listening carefully to Feng Ji's narration, Han Sui thought for a long time.

"Yuan Tu, can you confirm that Luoyang is the target of Hebei's attack this year?" Han Sui asked, pointing to the map. "This year, will Li Hong continue to lead the army to attack Luoyang from Hanoi, Henan and Yingchuan?"

Feng Ji frowned and didn't speak, he was not sure.If the target of Hebei's attack this year is Guanzhong, then what they have to deal with is not only the 15 Northern Xinjiang Army in Hedong, but there may be more troops, [-] or even [-] Northern Xinjiang Army. If Han Sui joins forces, he will lose the battle of Guanzhong, and the entire army may be wiped out.

"The northern border army in the direction of the Central Plains, what happened recently?" Han Sui asked again.

Feng Ji shook his head, "I haven't received any useful news."

"Is the boat bridge on the Yellow River still there?"

"It's still there. According to reports from scouts, fewer and fewer people crossed the Yellow River in the south recently, and the population who moved south to Qingzhou and Yanzhou basically crossed the Yellow River, but the boat bridges on the Yellow River did not break up." Maybe Li Hong will use these bridges to transport food, supplies and troops.” Feng Ji looked at Han Sui with a worried expression, and comforted him with a smile, “From the current situation, Li Hong will attack Luoyang around October. The possibility is still very high.”

"Where is Hebei's attack target this year is extremely important to whether we can launch the Guanzhong War." Han Sui sighed softly, "Once the Guanzhong War fails, you and I will no longer have the possibility of misunderstanding the situation."

"If Li Hong's attack target this year is Guanzhong, what countermeasures will Brother Wen Yue have? Is Brother Wen Yue planning to preserve his strength, abandon Guanzhong, and return to Xiliang?"

Han Sui was silent for a long time.

"Back to Xiliang, everything will return to the original state, so what am I still doing in Guanzhong?" Han Sui shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We can't take risks, it's better to assume that Hebei wants to attack Guanzhong."

"If it is assumed that Hebei is going to attack Guanzhong, then Hebei needs time to gather its troops and hoard food and grass. Hebei has insufficient wealth. We assume that its existing wealth can support the northern Xinjiang army to fight for two months first, and then levy after the autumn harvest in October. If we need to pay food to replenish it, then Hebei may attack in September." Han Sui paused and said slowly, "There are still more than three months before we can take the initiative to attack."

"Active attack?" Feng Ji said in surprise, "Our troops have not assembled yet, and active attack may not achieve our goal."

Han Sui smiled slightly, "Hebei is forcing me every day, asking me to let the troops from Hedong enter Guanzhong in order to threaten Luoyang, contain the troops in the west of Guanxi, and coordinate the northern border army on the Central Plains battlefield to attack Luoyang. The real goal of Hebei is Guanzhong , so I have not promised, now it seems that it is time to promise them."

Feng Ji suddenly realized, "Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi in Hedong have [-] troops, can we eat it?"

"How many troops can be mobilized into the Guanzhong battlefield at the beginning?" Han Sui asked.

Feng Ji thought for a while, "There are 6 troops of Gao Gan, Gao Rou, and Zhu Ling in Kansai, [-] troops of Duan Yan, and [-] troops of Yuan Xi and Xin Pi in Nanyang. Together, there are about [-] troops. If there is no accident, we can send at least [-] troops into the Guanzhong battlefield."

"Why? Didn't you trust me at first?" Han Sui laughed, "He was worried that I would secretly join forces with Hebei and eat up all 6 of his people? Why did you keep 3? The Northern Frontier Army in Hedong has arrived at the Guanzhong battlefield Afterwards, the threat in the direction of Kansai has been greatly reduced, and there is no need to garrison heavy troops. Guanzhong is a life-and-death battle, and you and I should do our best and trust each other, so that we can defeat the northern army."

Feng Ji smiled calmly, "Brother Wen Yue, if you lose the Battle of Guanzhong, you can pat your ass and escape to Xiliang, what about us? What should we do? If all these 6 people are buried in the Battle of Guanzhong, Luoyang will be destroyed soon." But, why should we guard? It’s not that we don’t trust you, but that we have to be cautious due to the situation. For example, Brother Wen Yue, didn’t you also let Han Yi and Ma Chao stay in Xiliang?”

"If Ben Chu agrees to launch the Guanzhong War, I will immediately call up all Xiliang troops secretly to the Guanzhong battlefield." Han Sui said without hesitation, "The iron cavalry belonging to the Qiang tribe in Xiliang will also rush to the battlefield. Come on, I can gather at least 10 troops, and you not only need to provide food, grass and supplies for the Xiliang army, but also recruit at least [-] troops to join the battle. With [-] people to encircle and wipe out the [-] Northern Army, we should have a chance of winning. "

Feng Ji looked at Han Sui in surprise, "Are you going to give up Xiliang?"

"If I am defeated in Guanzhong, how many troops can I have left? Can I still defend Xiliang? Success or failure depends on one move. If you don't fight, you have to fight." Han Sui sighed helplessly while stroking his long gray beard. , "I'm old, time is running out, this is my last chance, the last chance to save Xiliang."

"However, Pound's cavalry is now in Tianqiong Desert, on the north bank of the Yellow River. Once Ma Chao and the cavalry belonging to the Qiang people enter Guanzhong, you will hand over Xiliang to Hebei, and your retreat will be completely cut off. How do you still fight?" Feng Ji asked worriedly, "Brother Wen Yue, are you going to die and live?"

"Even if Pound can conquer Xiliang, he cannot occupy Xiliang." Han Sui sighed again, "Xiliang is too poor. Supplementary food, how do tens of thousands of cavalry survive? The reason why he can stay in the southeast of Tianqiong Desert now is because the barbarian tribe in the desert provides him with food. When he finds that there is nothing in Xiliang, and he can't even see the head sheep, He is about to evacuate quickly. Xiliang will always be our home, and no one can occupy it."

"Are you planning to clear the wilderness in Xiliang's Jianbi?"

"I have already ordered to fortify the wall and clear the field." Han Sui said, "If Pang De is smart, he should withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise he will die a miserable death."

Feng Ji was speechless in shock.

"Once the [-] northern army is completely wiped out, and Hedong is at stake, the northern army in the Central Plains will retreat across the board and quickly support Hedong, so that Luoyang's danger can be solved." Han Sui said calmly, "Go back immediately and tell Benchu, Please believe me, the Guanzhong War is a life-and-death battle, as long as we win, Hebei will have no chance to capture Luoyang."
