Chapter 1 Begins

The hinterland of China is a strange place. Because it is located between the two valleys, it is called Bingzhou.

Two mountains and one river, because of its superior terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, forming a relatively closed environment, which can be said to be a natural country. Because of its geographical location, when the Xiongnu or Qiang people in the west or north march into the Central Plains, they must first take Bingzhou.

In the east of Bingzhou, according to the danger of Taihang Baxing, it is difficult to attack and easy to defend, overlooking the whole Hebei Plain. Nantong Huai, Meng, Zihuai, Meng and Nan, the west refers to Luoyang, and the east refers to Kaifeng. Huai and Meng are the key to the Central Plains. It is thin in the west of the river, relying on the danger of the Yellow River, and the desert of Inner Mongolia in the north, which is relatively weak. However, since the Warring States Period, the Great Wall has been built for generations, which is thousands of miles long so far.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the middle of the year, and set up the governor's department of Bingzhou. It was one of the thirteen prefectures, leading nine counties, including Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan and Shangjun. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bingzhou ruled Jinyang.

It's just that the current situation in Bingzhou is in chaos.

Guo Da of the Yellow Turban Party is based in Baibo Valley, gathering 70,000 to 80,000 people, attacking Taiyuan in the north and going to the east of the river in the south, which is quite active. In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died and the young emperor was first established. Guo Da combined with the Xiongnu Nandan in the south and the Fuluo cavalry team, and then attacked the east of the river. Luoyang, the capital division, was shocked by it. Dong Zhuo, the imperial division, panicked. He urgently sent Zhonglang to block Niu Fu with troops. He was killed by Guo Da and threw away his armor and fled after a great defeat. The Baibo coalition army crossed the river through Shangdang and captured many counties and counties in Henan. The front reached the area of Puyang and Qingfeng in Henan, and even once came to Luoyang City.

There is Zhang Yan again. This guy's original name is Chu Yan. Since Zhang Niujiao's death, he has been pushed to be handsome, so he changed his surname to Zhang. Zhang Yan was very agile, so he was called Feiyan in the army. In Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, the army reached hundreds of thousands, known as the Black Mountain Army. Emperor Ling of Han was unable to conquer, and all the counties in Hebei were invaded by them. Later, Zhang Yan sent people to Kyoto to surrender, and the court worshipped Zhang Yan as a general in the middle of the peace.

There was also a southern Xiongnu in Fuluo, who joined forces with the Baibo army to attack the county. At that time, many people from all over the country gathered to build walls to protect themselves. Yu Fuluo's banknotes were plundered and gained nothing. The people were bruised, so they had to stop in Pingyang. Subsequently, in order to solve the problem of military food, Hexi County almost became his hunting ground. If you can take it, you can take it, and if you can't take it, you can avoid it.

But at present, the most powerful thing is Zuo Gu Li Wang Sai Yuer, the number one general under Bu Dugen, the leader of Xianbei. He led tens of thousands of iron riders to attack the area of Yanmen. Taiyuan was in danger, and Zhang Yang, the former pastor of Bingzhou, was scared, to attack Chang'an repeatedly.

It was in this situation that He Chen accepted the order of the court and served as the pastor of Bingzhou, in charge of eighty-eight counties in nine counties. This is just a good thing to say. According to the current chaotic situation, the sphere of influence that can really be controlled is estimated to be part of Shangdang, Xihe, Taiyuan and Yanmen. As for the other five counties, now they are in a panic, either occupied by Xianbei, Yellow Turban and Xiongnu, or because they are in a chaotic and political state. It can be said that what was thrown to He Chen was a mess.

It is said that He Chen's mission to Bingzhou can only be described as "scratch" in one word.

Is this fucking going to Bingzhou to fight? Or should we just travel to Taihang and Wangwu Ershan?

This is clearly a collective move.

In addition to the forward "Burning Legion" playing the outpost, the Chinese army brigade behind almost dragged the house and shouted, everyone was carrying the package or pushing the wheelbley. Look at the traces of the wheels eating dirt, which should be full of valuable things. There are at least nearly 100,000 people in the back, stretching for dozens of miles. Whether it is voluntary or forced, at a glance, it is full of numb fleets, full of big boxes tied on it. From Nanyang, it extended to the Luyuan Pass, and patrol cavalry flew by from time to time in the middle to prevent someone from robbing and making trouble.

He Chen**'s bandits almost carried out all the valuable things in Nanyang, Xiangyang County and the county government below. Needless to say, gold jewelry, famous jade porcelain, weapons, armor, quilts and military uniforms, food supplies, as big as seats, quilts, as small as pots and pans and pans and plates, what can be taken, what can be dismantled, what can be removed, you should also kick your feet fiercely, spit, how disgusting Liu Biao.

And He Chen also incited the people. Although many people thanked He Chen for his life, most of them now have fields to cultivate, and they also have a head. Besides, the soldiers in Bingzhou are now flustered and unsafe. On balance, not many people left with He Chen. This made He Chen swear that they were all a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

Xiao is like this. When Liu Biao entered Nanyang County, he saw that the whole county warehouse was looted by bandit hooligans. He was dumbfounded and stupidly opened his mouth to stay there. He couldn't recover for a long time. Damn, is this the richest Nanyang in the world? Fuck, even the earth tile felt house in the northwest is a hundred times better than this. Look at the empty county government. Even if the mouse goes in, it will run out of the empty cloth bag with tears. Liu Bao even saw that in addition to the brand-new doorposts on both sides, even the door panels were removed. The cold wind blew and roared by, and everything was empty.

He Chen, who was killed by heaven, and Liu Biao, who was famous for his elegance and courtesy, could no longer control his swearing at this moment.

However, the words are nothing more than "villains, sweeping the ground, his mother's and so on... It is said that He Chen's miscellaneous army wandered out of the gate. When he passed through Luoyang, this ancient Yanjing is now desolate. Except for the black and black towering gate carrying the glory of Luoyang for hundreds of years, it is almost afraid to recognize this. The Han Dynasty has always been an economic, cultural and commercial center. There were no people surging in the past, and the merchants stood in the forest, leaving only a piece of beam ashes, dark and scorched, and a desolation. Countless black crows piled up around the dead bones in the street. Occasionally, figures appeared and immediately flew away. He Chen sighed in his heart. Dong Zhuo was really crazy. He was a good king's capital, like a hell between sincerity and benevolence.

Guo Jia, who followed He Chen's side, was also sad. He thought how prosperous and lively it was when he traveled to Kyoto. Now it has become a hundred miles of uninhabited, and the road is full of dead bones. Why don't you let people cry sadly?

Out of Luoyang and crossing the Yellow River in the north, He Chen's brigade entered Gaodu County, Shangdang County, the sphere of influence of Bingzhou.

The county government here has received the notice and has already swept the bed to welcome it.

Gaodu County is originally close to the Yellow River, adjacent to Kyoto, and has a prosperous population. However, since the incident of Dong Zhuo and the looting of Guo Dabaibo Valley, the rich merchants in the county have already run away, and the rest are all ordinary farmers.

He Chen asked the army and horses to enter the city outside the four gates of the county, with the "Shengun Forbidden Guard Regiment" and "Scal Armored Marines" and a group of civil servants.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to discuss important things.

He Chen moved his buttocks. Obviously, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the seat from a soft tiger skin cushion to a hard wood. He paused and muttered, "Luoyang is desolate for hundreds of miles. Even if our army walks with its eyes closed, nothing will happen, but after entering the boundary of Bingzhou, it will be different. Guo is greater than Baibo Valley and Southern Xiongnu in Fuluo, including Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, may conflict with us at any time. Nowadays, the form is becoming more and more urgent. What do you think?

Guo Jia is now the number one military division in the morning. He doesn't speak first, and no one dares to speak. All the generals really looked at him and waited to hear his arrangement. It's just that Guo Jiajin didn't seem to have the intention to say anything, just like an old monk, pulling his eyelids slightly, so that people don't know what he was thinking.

He Chen waited for a long time, and everyone didn't fart. He couldn't help but be a little annoyed and said, "You are all generals who command and guard one side. You can't rely on the military division for everything, can you? Who didn't get an idea in his teeth? I'm going to patrol my vigil tonight.

The generals gave a jump of a frighte. In addition to the newcomer, most of them now know He Chen's naughty and rogue surname, which really makes him angry. Not to mention the vigil, some people have also brushed the toilet.

"Your lord, in the eyes of his subordinates, the forces of Bingzhou are complicated. If you are poor and armed, it is difficult to do your best. It can be differentiated and pulled in, focusing on the blow. At this time, Zhang Liao took the lead. This time, Yanmen, his hometown, was besieged by Xianbei. To be honest, Zhang Liao was very anxious. He was afraid that if he was not careful, his family would die.

"Oh?" Let's talk about it specifically. He Chen nodded and said with interest.

"Although Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army was worshipped by the imperial court as a general, his subordinates came and went with Changshan, Zhao County and Zhongshan, and from time to time they captured the county and plundered it. It is also disrespectful to the court. In order to divide the princes of one side, it is called the country in the country. Its power is boundless, and the lord can't be conquered for a while. He can first form an alliance and attack and defend each other. Guo Da raised an army in Baibo Valley and captured the counties in Hedong. His army was sharp, and he controlled the largest lake and salt land in the whole Central Plains, Hedong. In ancient times, Guo Dabaibo's army should be the key target of the Lord. Although the Xiongnu plundered everywhere in Fuluo, the harvest was extremely small, the weapons were not complete, and the armor was not neat. The soldiers almost ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal. They could even hear the rumor of "eating human flesh". Obviously, it was extremely difficult. As long as they won one or two battles, this journey could be collected and compiled for use. Now, only Xianbei in Yanmen County is the most troublesome. Once this barrier is broken, Xianbei can directly engage in Changlong and capture Hexi, Shangdang, Taiyuan and other places. At that time, the whole territory of Bingzhou may fall. In ancient times, the lord could send a large general to divide half of the troops to the north to support Zhang Yang.

"What Wen Yuan said is reasonable, but there is one thing that his subordinates do not agree with. Now there are about 30,000 regular troops under the lord's, and the reserve army of the regiment and the private army are only 50,000, and most of them are recruits who lack training. If half of the troops are divided into Yanmen in the north, with only 20,000 troops, in the face of Guo Da's 100,000 troops and Yu Fuluo's 30,000 to 40,000 Xiongnu cavalry, how can the lord win? It was Xu Huang who retorted. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Liao's strategy of risking and dispersing troops.
