Volume 3 Horse Steps on Kansai Chapter 1 Two Fronts Battle
In the early years of Jian'an, October.
This month, two major events happened in the world.
The first thing was that Kang Chenggong and Kong Wenju were assassinated in Xuchang. Although they were not successful, they were somewhat frightened.
This news shocked the world directly. You should know that these two people are one of the most famous scholars today. I won’t mention Kong Rong and Kong Wenju. This guy is said to be a descendant of Confucius, and his identity and status can be imagined in the minds of scholars.
Kang Chenggong Zheng Xuan and Zheng Kangcheng are a great scholar today. They can be said to be full of talents and talents all over the world. They are the masters in the minds of scholars all over the world. Moreover, most importantly, these two people were assassinated in Xuchang. What does this mean?
When Lao Cao heard the news, he was furious, and not long after, it was rumored that it was done by Jiān from Yizhou.
Liu Xie was helpless and was shot while lying down. However, he would not let Lao Cao have a good time. He said it directly that this must be the evil act of Lao Cao's thief calling for catching the thief and not wanting two famous scholars and scholars to come to Yizhou to edit books. As a result, the water was directly muddled.
What made Lao Cao vomit blood was that Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong were not afraid of the assassin's threat and resolutely went to Yizhou.
I believe that Liu Xie has many people, because Liu Xie will never do such a thing. Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong led their disciples to Yizhou. This is definitely an extremely important event for Liu Xie. This is equivalent to recognizing Liu Xie's orthodox identity. How could Liu Xie be so stupid and do such a foolish thing that benefits others but not yourself? Even if he wants to frame Lao Cao, he would not use such extremely stupid means!
Those who believe in Lao Cao think that Liu Xie wants to blame Lao Cao, or others want to blame Lao Cao. No matter how stupid Lao Cao is, he will not do such a stupid thing on his own territory! What are the benefits of this to Lao Cao?
So, the final spearhead was basically directed at Boss Yuan. Because Boss Yuan had invited Duke Zheng Xuan out of the mountain, but Duke Zheng Xuan refused. Kong Wenju was angry because both Lao Cao and Boss Yuan established a new king, so he naturally would not give these two people a good face. He had scolded these two people, so Old Yuan must have wanted to kill Kong Rong so quickly. With the motives and strength, he could still blame Lao Cao and slapped Lao Cao hard. Why don't he do it?
Yuan Shao said with tears in his face, Damn! I was shot while lying down!
So, Lao Yuan jumped out and scolded Lao Cao for being shameless, pointing out that it must have been done by him. Lao Cao was his childhood friend and has done a lot of things since he was a kid. Lao Yuan knew all this. With Lao Cao's shameless character, this matter could definitely be done.
And it is precisely because Xuchang is his territory, everyone thinks that he is impossible. In fact, the most likely one is that he is Lao Cao. He must have hated Emperor Xiaoxian and did not want Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong to go to Yizhou to edit books, so he came up with this bitter plan.
Of course, this matter was naturally left alone. However, the guards of Zheng Xuangong and his group of people were strengthened several times.
Another major event was that Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang finally turned against each other.
First, Ma Chao was disrespectful to Han Sui and spoke rudely. Yan Xing was angry and stabbed Chao with a spear, but the spear was broken, but Yan Xing almost strangled Ma Chao to death with a broken spear. The two fought. First, there was a small-scale conflict, and then the two sides completely broke up, and all the accumulated small conflicts broke out for a moment.
When Li Guo and the other thieves saw this, they directly sent someone to persuade him, saying that if they continued to fight, they would only be the guy who was eyeing him in Yizhou.
As a result, Ma Han and the other two really shook hands and made peace. After receiving the news, Liu Xie slapped the table and was very annoyed.
So, in early November, 30,000 soldiers and horses emerged in Hanzhong, with Chen Dao as the main general, Zhang Ren as the deputy general, and Jia Xu as the military advisor. He led Yan Yan, Xiyou, Gong Zhi, Pei Yuanshao and others to use Baoxie Road as the main road, and Ziwu Road as the auxiliary road, and the soldiers headed straight to Guanzhong.
In fact, whether Ziwu Road can pass is still a question, because it has been abandoned for many years.
Historically, Liu Paopao went north to Hanzhong and wanted to attack Changhan. Zhuge suggested going to Chencang Road, but Wei Yan proposed to lead secret troops to Ziwu Valley. However, Zhuge rejected Wei Yan's risky idea out of caution and eventually failed to attack Cao.
Many people in later generations have said that if Brother Zhu was willing to follow Wei Yan's adventure ideas, Liu Paopu might not have been trapped in Yizhou.
This if, it makes no sense, because anyone can be sure that this method can be successful. Brother Zhu's prudence is not unreasonable. But now that Liu Xie is back, he will naturally not give up the idea of giving it a try. Therefore, he picked up the adventure of Ziwu Valley.
After receiving this news, Li and Guo from Guanzhong were directly blew up. Liu Xie developed in Yizhou, and Li and Guo were naturally aware of it. They also knew that when Liu Xie became more and more prosperous, they would come to cause trouble for them sooner or later. But what they did not expect was that this revenge would come so quickly.
So they sent a letter directly to Mahan and Han in Xiliang, hoping that they would send troops to Hanzhong, to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, or to rush to Chang'an.
But at this time, Mahan and Han didn't have time to care about them because they were also facing Liu Xie's army!
That's right, Liu Xie launched two other armies, one with himself as the main general, Taishici as the deputy general, Guo Jia and Yang Fu as the chief and deputy military advisors, leading 30,000 troops and horses out of Chencang Road. The other one with Xu Huang as the main general, Guan Yu as the deputy general, and Lu Su as the division army, leading 20,000 troops, 10,000 of which were barbarians. They headed north to Qishan, and the troops headed directly to Wudu County.
Liu Xie's 30,000 troops were composed of Feiyu Army, Shenwu Guard, Chilong Guard, Luan Guard, plus 3,000 heavy armored infantry, as well as thousands of auxiliary soldiers and baggage soldiers.
The Feiyu Army consists of the original sound camp and the new sound camp, plus Liao Hua's 1,000 cavalry and one thousand cavalry in the Dongzhou army. Currently, there are only four thousand soldiers and horses. The three thousand heavy armored infantry are composed of the 1,000 strong battalions led by Zhou Cang and two thousand barbarian strongmen. Heavy armor and Modao.
The heavy cavalry is currently unable to form due to war horses, so they have to be abandoned first.
The Shenwu Guard is still only five hundred, and the Chilong Guard is only three hundred. Although there are one thousand Luan Guard camp, they are all female soldiers. Liu Xie just plans to pull them out to see the blood, and at the same time, he can also assist the military medical team. The military medical team is much larger than before, with hundreds of female nurses.
Zhuge Ling also wanted to go to the war with the army, but was rejected by Liu Xie. Although she was selfish, Liu Xie could not watch him take risks.
In addition, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu also led their troops to participate in the war. It can be said that Liu Xie's army has absolutely super combat effectiveness and is the main force.
There were too many new recruits in Xu Huang's team, especially the ten thousand barbarians. Therefore, most of the barbarians were used as baggage soldiers.
The three armies combined, 80,000 troops, immediately attracted the attention of the whole world.
...
Lao Cao, who is still dealing with Yuan Laoer, receives the news and can't help but sigh, and has to secretly praise Liu Xie's ambitions.
Cheng Yu also sighed lightly, "This Emperor Xiaoxian is a little too brave. Can he bear to fight on both sides? No, his main force should be in the Xiliang side, and Sili side should just be a feint attack..."
Old Cao looked at Xun Yu, and Xun Yu frowned and said, "Yu is not sure about the idea of this Majesty. Perhaps, both are there!"
Lao Cao nodded and said, "Indeed, I think so. It seems that we need to speed up. The longer we delay, the slower we are!"
"Lord, let's do it all in one go! Anyway, that innocent child has already fought almost with Yuan Gaolu!"
"Yeah! Pass my order..."
...
When Lao Yuan of Jizhou heard the news, his brows were much more important than Lao Cao, because Lao Yuan knew very well that if Liu Xie got Xiliang or Sili, it would be like Liu Xie to be more wings. Before, Liu Xie had no cavalry and could not buy war horses from the Qiang people in Xiliang, so he turned to buy inferior ponies from the Northern Xiongnu. He knew the news, and because of this, Lao Yuan did not do anything.
But if Xiliang is captured by them, the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry of Xiliang will become Liu Xie's Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry, and then Yuan Shao will face great pressure.
Lao Cao was a little better. As long as he guarded several major checkpoints in the west, he could stop Liu Xie's military attack. Unlike him, his Bingzhou and Jizhou will border Sili and Xiliang, and there is almost no danger to defend. If he cannot deal with the white horse Gongsun in time, he will be under great pressure in the future.
So he also ordered the generals to speed up the removal of the white horse Gongsun.
As a result, due to this change, Lao Yuan dealt with the White Horse Gongsun at all costs. As a result, the White Horse Gongsun's demise speed was two years faster than in history.
...
When Jingzhou received this news, he just sneered and was also glad that fortunately they did not disturb them. Because the war with Zhang Xiu was already in a state of anxiety, the two sides were in conflict, with both sides winning and losing, but overall, it was unlikely that Jingzhou would want to recover Nanyang.
However, the battle was halfway through, and it could not end directly. Especially Cai Mao, the main player, has basically lost because he has fought to this point. Jingzhou has a strong backing and has only tied with the opponent. What does this mean? So he naturally refused to give in.
They were worried that Liu Xiehui would stab them in the back before. Seeing this situation, everyone felt relieved.
...
As for Jiangdong, it has no impact, because they know very well that no matter how powerful Liu Xie is, it will not affect them for a while. And they cannot affect Liu Xie, there is a Jingzhou in the middle! Moreover, their current situation is still unstable, especially the Shanyue issue!
...
In Xiliang, Ma Han and his two frowned. Among their forces, Ma Teng's forces were directly facing Liu Xiebingfeng.
Although Han Sui is still good at this situation, he also hopes that Ma Teng can suffer a big loss. But this is just thinking about it. If Ma Teng didn't block it, with his own strength, he would probably not be able to stop Liu Xie's footsteps.
Although Liu Xiejun did not have many cavalry, since Liu Xie dared to send troops, it means that he already had a way to deal with their cavalry.
Han Sui also knew in his heart that if he did not help Ma Teng, after Liu Xie dealt with Ma Teng, the next thing he had to deal with would be Han Sui. (To be continued.)
