Chapter 2 Flying Axe Warrior

In the third year of Chuping, in 192 A.D., He Chen of Bingzhou, after a period of rest and recuperation, began to mobilize frequently after the harvest of morning wheat, intending to fish in troubled waters when the chaos in the customs.

At the end of the fourth month, He Chen drafted the list by Chen Lin and summoned Bingzhou. It was everyone's responsibility to talk about the crisis of the country. So he went to worship the generals and fought against Guanzhong. Shilling Gao Shun led the "Nutao Legion" as the advance brigade, opening the way when encountering mountains and building bridges when encountering water, and clearing all obstacles for the army to keep up. Later, Huang Zhong was appointed as the general, the governor's three soldiers, Xu Huang as the deputy general, and Tian Feng as the marching staff. Zhao Yun, Zhao Jun, Zhang Ling and Zhang Chen were promoted as generals, and more than ten generals were transferred to join the expedition. At the same time, Li Yan was appointed as Sima, Ma Yu was appointed as the successor, and Lv Chang was appointed as the escort grain officer, with 30,000 horse infantry, and the vastness was out of the Party. At the same time, Wei Yan's "Hurricane Legion" was transferred from Lu Shi to Bingzhou, and cooperated with Gao Shun to start marching into Hanoi.

Bingzhou is the backbone of the world. If you attack on all sides, you will look down on the North China, Guanzhong and Hanoi Plain with the momentum of building high houses. In terms of terrain, it already has a great advantage. If you want to enter Guanzhong, there are two directions from Bingzhou. One is to go south to Meng Huai and attack Hangu through Luoyang, so as to knock on the switch. The second is to go out of the east of the river to Pujin ferry. The important town guarding the ferry is called Puban. It is located in Puzhou, facing the river in the west. This is an extremely important springboard for Bingzhou to enter the customs, and it is also a bridgehead for entering Shanxi from the customs. But there must be an important thing that must be solved first, that is, the Bai Bo army.

Guo Da captured Hedong County, Yang Fengpan was in Hanoi, gathered more than 100,000 troops, and Hengdan was on the road in Chang'an. The court was simply unable to fight, which also fueled their arrogance and did whatever they wanted in Hedong and Hanoi, just like their back garden.

And He Chen's soldiers sent to Chang'an. Unless they want to go from Hanoi to the Qiangdi tribe and come back from Yongzhou, no matter how they go, they must pass through the territory of these two people. Not to mention that they hate He Chen to the bone, they alone play the banner of "internal Qing Dynasty, external judgment of thieves", so that they will try their best to block Bingzhou in any case. Legion of aspects. You should know that the more chaotic the court is, the greater the opportunity they have and the more profits. If He Chen really saves Emperor Xian, it is estimated that it will be the end.

Starting from May of the third year of Chuping, a large-scale conflict war broke out between the Bingzhou Front Army and Guo Dabaibo Army in Hedong, Wenxi, Jiguan and other places. Although the main force of the Baibo Army can fight well, Bingzhou is better. Whether it is individual quality, team combat, armored weapons, and supplies, they have been steadily suppressed. More importantly, on the side of Bingzhou, there is also Tian Feng, a resourceful figure. In addition, Gao Shun has excellent command ability, which is almost invincible and invincible.

In less than two months, Gao Shun went to more than ten cities. The white wave army fled in the wind.

It is especially happy to fight, and it is regarded as a classic work of horse soldiers' coordinated combat.

Gao Shun first listened to Tong Tianfeng's plan and pretended to take a detour to Pingyang. First, he lured the elites of the Baibo army to come out. Then he detoured back and forth from the flank of the 8,000 Xiongnu cavalry in Fuluo and attacked back and forth. Almost in an instant, he disrupted Guo's corner. Then Wei Yan's "Hurricane Legion" came out from the side, and was sandwiched on both sides with Gao Shun's army that turned back. He suppressed the Guo army, who wanted to break through to both sides. Finally, Huang Zhongtong's army came up and almost wrapped the Baibo army into dumplings. It was almost swept the fallen leaves with a strong wind. In the first battle, he defeated the Baibo army with great damage to his vitality. If it hadn't been for the failure of heaven and pouring rain, I was afraid that Guo Da would be depressed from now on.

In this battle, not only did the Baibo army defeat the army, but also killed tens of thousands of people, but also countless people who threw away their armor and surrendered. Bingzhou's army was greatly powerful, morale was high, and Sili was shocked. The Baibo army in Hedong and Hanoi fled from the wind. Guo Da could only lead the remnants to retreat to Shouyang Mountain and be trapped and waiting to be killed.

Huang Zhong was in the spirit of He Chen's pain and chasing after him. At the foot of Shouyang Mountain, he closed the mountain and locked the road, set up thousands of checkpoints, and firmly controlled the important roads of each mountain road to prevent Guo Da from escaping again. Then he pushed forward step by step, and soon made Guo [***] desperate. In the end, he could only raise the white flag and surrender.

Guo Da and Yang Feng surrendered, which marked the prologue of the Baibo army, which had been in chaos for several years, finally withdrew from the battle for hegemony in the Hanwei and won the Central Plains.

Guo Da, who is based in Baibo Valley, after several years of development, rise and chaos, once strengthened more than 100,000 horses, and even killed Niu Fu under Luoyang City. Emperor Xian could only appease him and seal him. It's just that Guo Da, who tasted the sweetness, had a great desire, was dissatisfied with the status quo, and finally went to the road of extinction.

Guo Dabai's army died, and the forces north of the Yellow River in Sizhou were almost in a vacuum. He Chen was polite. Jiaoya began to extend to Pingyang County and Hedong County, and reprimanded Hou and detectives became active throughout Sili. And this guy sent extremely shameless troops to firmly control the largest production area of well salt in the Central Plains, Hedong.

Now the road south to Chang'an has been completely opened. Although Guo Da was wiped out, it took several months to consume a lot of grain, which may be difficult to continue. The state side can only put the soldiers into the warehouse, put the horse in Nanshan, and wait for the next year.

In the second year of Xingping, in 195 A.D., Li Wei, Guo Mi, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others captured Chang'an. After holding the government together, they suspected each other and contradictions gradually emerged. Fan Chou will leave Kanto and ask Li Yu to send more troops. Li Yusu avoided Fan Chou's bravery and won the hearts of the public, and secretly assassinated Fan Chou in the seat. Therefore, the generals were even more suspicious, and Li Yu and Guo Yu attacked each other. Emperor Xian's envoys, Shizhong, Shang Shu, etc. spoke for Li Yu and Guo Wei, but they did not obey. Guo Yan and Yang Ding, the general of Anxi, plotted to rob Emperor Xian. When Li Yu heard the news, he was the first to welcome Emperor Xian to his camp. He also raided the palace, robbed the imperial palace of gold and silk, rides, car clothes and other artifacts, and then set fire to the palaces, government and private houses for a while.

Chang'an has been destroyed. Emperor Xian wanted to return to Luoyang in the east. He sent an envoy to ask Li Yu, and the messenger went back and forth ten times before he was allowed.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang in the east, accompanied by Guo Yan and Yang Feng.

He Chen, who had been berming for two years, finally felt that the time was completely ripe.

Emperor Xian came out of Hangu and returned to Luoyang in the east, so as to avoid the possibility of losing soldiers under Xiongguan.

In September, He Chen ordered the Wei Yan Corps to be the vanguard, led 50,000 Chinese troops, went out of the Party, entered the east of the river, and crossed the Yellow River.

Guo Yan and Yang Fengfeng heard that He Chen's troops were raised and wanted to welcome the emperor. They panicked and wanted to force the emperor to return to Chang'an, but they didn't expect He Chen early. They sent Hu Chuquan to lead 10,000 elite Xiongnu cavalry and ran a long way overnight, directly cutting off Guo Yuxi's retreat. Then Gao Shun's "Nutao Legion" followed up at night, entered Huayin, blocked the road, set up a camp, fixed the city wall, and completely cut off Guo Yan and Yang Feng's plots. In desperation, he was trapped in Hongnongjian City while quickly informing Li Chi and Li Ji.

After Li Ji learned the news, he was shocked. He wanted to temporarily put down his hatred, join hands with Li Chi, set up the army in Guanzhong, and left the Hangu Pass in the east. Unexpectedly, Li was ambitious and took the opportunity to kill Zhang Ji and take over his department by the way. Then he raised the army in Guanzhong and wanted to swallow Gao Shun's army in one breath and relieve the siege of Guo Yan.

At this time, He Chen led the main force of 30,000 troops and stationed in Mianchi, which was only a hundred miles away from Guo Yan's army.

At this time, it is the golden autumn, and the air is cool. He Chen looked at the uninhabited scenery for a hundred miles, and countless fertile fields were desolate. When I felt it in my heart, I couldn't help thinking of the situation of my governance. The people of Bingzhou should be happy to harvest grain and wheat now, right? There was a smile in He Chen's eyes. After the locust plague in the four years of Chuping, Xingping rested and cultivated in the first year of Xingping. In the second year of Xingping, the state finally ushered in a bumper harvest in the whole territory. Whether it was wheat rice or chestnut grain, it was extremely gratifying. I raised my troops and saw a heavy wheat field with golden color along the way. And all the people, when they saw the Bingzhou army passing by, they did not stop doing farm work and worshiped and thanked Bingzhou's kindness.

The locust plague in the first four years was the most difficult period since He Chen raised his army. In Bingzhou, almost the whole territory is in poor harvest. For a while, the price of grain and rice has soared all the way, and ordinary people have been refugees. In just one month, there have been more than 100,000 refugees. If He Chen hadn't launched a strategic grain storage, the whole territory would have opened warehouses for assistance, and at the same time, it would have severely cracked down on corrupt officials and deducted grain. He also put heavy pressure on grain merchants, suppressed grain prices by various means, and collected grain from various places at the same time. I'm afraid that in the winter of that year, I don't know how many years the people had already starved to death at home.

It is precisely because the Bingzhou Group led by He Chen is united and working hard to help the people tide over the difficulties that He Chen's reputation in the Bingzhou government almost reached its peak. From then on, the people only knew He Chen, but did not know the court. Only the state pastoral order disdains the court documents. Even if He Chen is anti-Han and divides the state at this time, it is estimated that those living people will not only not oppose it, but also may actively support it.

Nine counties in Bingzhou, in addition to the Jiuyuan other than the Great Wall, Yunzhong is still in the sphere of influence of Xianbei, and the other seven counties are unimpededed and firmly controlled in He Chen's hands.

"Master, Guo Yan has sent someone to reply, and they refused to send the emperor back to Luoyang." Just as He Chen's thoughts were flying, a loud and full voice resounded in He Chen's ear.

He Chen doesn't have to look back. He knows that it's Wei Yan when he listens to the voice.

After these two years of training, Wei Yan has grown extremely fast. Although his reputation and qualifications cannot fully convince the public, he began to slowly show his ability and bravery, and he still won everyone to give up. At this time, his face was like a heavy date, shining with a faint luster in the sun's rays, and his serious expression made him more majestic.

"|Ha ha, this is what has long been expected. The emperor is their biggest bargaining chip. If they lose the emperor, they are nothing." He Chen said lightly.

"Lord, when will you start the attack? To be honest, since breaking Guo Dabai's army, my brothers have rested for two years. If it hadn't been for the practice, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what blood tastes like.

"Ha ha, it's almost time. There must be movement in these two or three days. You'd better go back and mobilize your subordinates. Don't go to the battlefield at that time. Your legs are trembling, like a mother, haha. He Chen rarely joked.

"The lord has a thousand hearts, and the soldiers trained by his subordinates must be one of the best brave warriors in the world." Wei Yan couldn't hear He Chen's joke, but said seriously. It's just that from his serious expression, he can still see the light of excitement and excitement. The only space for people born in the grassroots of poor families is to advance is their achievements.

"Report..."

"The state herdsman, the Tianxiang clan leader has led 3,000 Banton flying axe soldiers to the Mianchi to enter the prick."
