Macross Empire

Today, we, the righteous men, would like to join the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, gather righteous soldiers to kill Li Yuan, the chariot general, support the Han Dynasty, and save the people of Li! "

This call to arms spread across the country, of course, is not a forged edict by Cao Cao, the prefect of Yingchuan County, but an excuse pulled out by the joint efforts of the world's aristocratic families.

no way!Li Yuan is not Dong Feifei's kind of idiot who brings foreign troops into Luoyang and becomes a disaster, except for "heart-to-heart talks" with Queen Mother He at night in the palace where few people know (not even Ding Yuan) Apart from secret matters, the Youzhou Army's actions in Luoyang and Sili can be described as strict in military discipline. Apart from killing those aristocratic families and local tyrants, it can be said to be a strong army with generous shots and considerable military discipline.

In this case, the noble families with a lower limit of integrity have no time to fabricate and hear rumors, and on the other hand, they really need an excuse to attack Li Yuan. "Your Majesty" and other crimes were directly released, and then raised the banner of "Qing Jun's side"-it's not that the family didn't want to use the imperial edict, the problem is that the Empress Dowager He and Ding Yuan refused to give this life-threatening excuse. After a while, he didn't use the edict to make righteousness, but directly used the excuse of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

For a while, the excuses promoted by the aristocratic families made most people in the world feel a little enlightened. They didn't know how Li Yuan, the chariot general who promoted the imperial examination and presided over the Northern Expedition to the Huns, suddenly became a tyrannical and powerful minister who controlled the court ?This change is a little too fast...

Compared with those neutral factions amidst confusion and suspicion, the aristocratic families also understand that the excuse of "Qing emperor's side" does not stand up to scrutiny, but now the aristocratic families don't have much to do, if they don't act before the news that the northern army has defeated the Xiongnu , they have no hope of victory at all.But now that the Northern Expedition Army had just severely damaged the Xiongnu, and was chasing the Xiongnu on the grassland, when Li Yuan's large army was not by his side, they could be sure of winning!

Under Li Yuan's pressing step by step and the terrifying prospect of being directly played to death, most of the aristocratic families finally reached a unified position.Moreover, the aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family acted this time under the prospect of fear and lack of preparation, and truly demonstrated the powerful background of the family that would take at least a hundred years to be called aristocratic families...

Chapter 406 Background and Bingfeng

As soon as the aristocratic family's side call to the Qing Dynasty was issued, in just three days, many local officials from all over the world raised their troops to respond!

Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang County, raised troops to respond!

Yuan Shao, the prefect of Chenliu County, raised his troops to respond!

Cao Cao, the prefect of Yingchuan County, raised his troops to respond!

Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, raised his troops to respond!

Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, raised his troops to respond!

Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai County, raised his troops to respond!

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling County, raised his troops to respond!

Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha County, raised his troops to respond!

Liu Bei, the prefect of Pingyuan County, responded with troops!

Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin raised troops to respond!

Zhang Lu of Tianshi Road in Hanzhong County declared that he had accepted the position of prefect of Hanzhong, and raised troops to respond!

Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, raised his troops to respond!

Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, raised his troops to respond!

Han Fu, the governor of Qingzhou, raised his troops to respond!

Liu Yu, governor of Youzhou, raised troops to respond!

Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, raised troops to respond!

Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, raised his troops to respond!

Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, raised his troops to respond!

In just three days, many local officials in the world who were influenced by the aristocratic families raised their troops to respond, and it was slightly different from the original plot of the [-]th Route princes asking for Dong. Among the new [-]th Route princes, there were six big states The governors of the Qing Dynasty participated in it, and four of them belonged to the old Liu family, and it was the royal family who sent people to contact them to announce the rise of troops in response to the Qing emperor's side call. The empress dowager and the young emperor adopted tolerance, and played the banner of the Qing emperor's side.

However, the newly released [-]th princes were in a hurry. Except for Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, who brought [-] Youzhou elite cavalry and [-] elite infantry, the others, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, could only make up for it. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, of which at least half of them were miscellaneous soldiers. The number of elite soldiers was completely incomparable with the soldiers and horses carried by Liu Yu.

What is frustrating is that although the princes of the Eighteenth Route are powerful, the princes in Hanzhong, Yizhou, Youzhou and other places are of little use to the aristocratic families who are eager to solve Li Yuan's threat-according to the military in those places In order to threaten Sili and even Luoyang, it will take at least [-] troops and several months.And at most two months later, the main force of the delayed Northern Expedition Army will gather and reappear in Sili. In that case, the schemes of the aristocratic family and the royal family will be completely crushed by Li Yuan directly with the powerful strength of his subordinates!

Under such circumstances, the reason why the stubborn families still rebelled was that Li Yuan had forced them to resist, and the most important thing was that the families also showed their trump cards one after another...

……

On the eighth day after the issue of Li Xiwen, Sishui Pass was the only way to Sili.

As the sun rises at Sishui Pass, there are about [-] sergeants and three internal qi isolated generals stationed at Sishui Pass, and outside Sishui Pass, there is a camp of several coalition forces gathered outside Sishui Pass.

In the camp of more than [-] people (including soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilian husbands), embroidered are "Chenliu Taishou Yuan", "Nanyang Taishou Yuan", "Yingchuan Taishou Cao", "Jibei Xiangbao" , "Yuzhou Inspector Kong" and other banners were flying, and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others also looked at the majestic Sishui Pass with solemn expressions.

"At the beginning, it seems that we can only take down Sishui Pass with all our might!"

Cao Cao, who was not very good looking, stood beside Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the others, looking at Sishui Pass and sighing.

If there hadn't been a certain big butterfly, Cao Cao should still be in Luoyang City now. After witnessing the various atrocities committed by Dong Zhuo and his Liangzhou army, he would have tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo and then issued a call to the eighteen princes to challenge him.

Now, Li Yuan first killed the Liangzhou Army and Dong Zhuo, then killed Lu Bu and annexed the Bingzhou Army, but on the whole, he did not engage in any such things as seeking to usurp the throne. Behavior is also very different, except for those powerful and unsightly families, other businessmen and ordinary people don't think the Youzhou Army is terrible!

However, the tragedy of Cao Cao, who even had the idea of ​​defecting to the North Army to conquer the Huns, was that the Xiahou family he was born in and the adopted Cao family belonged to the family camp and were not too small.After learning about Li Yuan's thoughts, how can the aristocratic families who now occupy the big cake and belong to the vested interests obediently spit out their own interests?Those professional families of the Ming Dynasty in the main world, even if they were so deadly that they would kill the Ming Dynasty who protected them, and let the braided army slaughter themselves as fat pigs, although it would not apply to those aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pressing Li Yuan step by step, the aristocratic family has not yet reached the point where they would directly raise their hands and surrender to Li Yuan without even fighting.

So, with the family's persuasion and the help of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other friends, Cao Cao, who is now the prefect of Yingchuan County, brought [-] elite soldiers and [-] miscellaneous soldiers to join the coalition army on the side of the Qing emperor!

Now that we have just arrived outside Sishui Pass, it is reasonable to say that Cao Cao and other princes should wait for the cooperation of other princes, and then work together to break Sishui Pass and the Hulao Pass behind it. It is a relatively safe strategy with relatively few casualties. Now Cao Cao's method of directly using human lives to pile up victories is much stronger.

However, for Cao Cao, who knew that the North Army had won a complete victory, he understood that he and others were now racing against time, waiting another month for the princes from other places to contain the troops of Sili and form a coalition to attack Sishui In the case of the pass, not to mention how many defensive offensives and reinforcements will be added to the Sishui Pass, which has not yet taken defensive measures, the delay alone is enough to make the now desperate families lose hope of victory.

But in this case, according to Cao Cao's own estimation, the soldiers and horses under their command will immediately launch an uninterrupted attack, and use a large number of lives to pile up the Sishui Pass!

"Hey! Mengde, you underestimate us too!"

Listening to Cao Mengde's words, Yuan Shu, who was dressed in a brocade robe and jade belt, spoke triumphantly. Under the gazes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, he said, "Although we have launched in a hurry this time, there are not too many elite soldiers and horses. Time is also in a hurry, but it doesn't mean we can't win Sishui Pass... Nanhua Immortal, please help me to conquer Sishui Pass as soon as possible!"

"Don't dare not obey!"

Facing Yuan Shu's words, the old fairy Nanhua who suddenly appeared behind Yuan Shu slightly cupped his hands.

……

At the same time, the atmosphere above Sishuiguan was relatively relaxed.
