Chapter 364 World Trends
Li Chu knew well that Li Ru was capable. Now he listened. While resting from the army, he sent people to Liangzhou to make peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui. Ma Teng and Han Sui learned that the righteous teacher had disintegrated, and they also expanded a lot of territory, that is, they agreed to Li Chui's peace.
At this point, the Han Dynasty has experienced a series of ups and downs, and the prestige of the imperial power has been lost. The princes in the world support their own troops and show their ambitions one after another.
After Wen Han led the Hedong Army back to Anyi in Hedong, he learned from Xilong that in the year he left Hedong, there were so many changes in Hedong.
Two months after he joined the righteous teacher alliance, the rich family in Hedong actually colluded with Guo Da, the head of the Baibo thief, and captured the three counties of Changling, Pingyin and Dangyin. Fortunately, Wen Han left more than 10,000 sergeants to guard Hedong. After Xi Long learned about it, he and Gao Shun immediately ordered 8,000 elite soldiers to fight against the white wave thief. At the same time, Xilong found Wei Zhongdao and borrowed thousands of private soldiers from him to increase the troops of the counties in Hedong.
After that, Xi Long and Gao first began to fight with the 20,000 Baibo thieves led by Yang Feng in Changling. The Bai Bo thieves were powerful, and Xi Long had no choice but to fight against them. After several defeats, he lured the enemy deep. Yang Feng took the two counties of Xiangling and Xinzheng in Hedong within ten days. He was just complacent. Just when he was preparing to go to the next city, He was ambushed by Xilong in a mountain. Yang Feng was killed and led the remnants back to Xinzheng. Unexpectedly, Xinzheng had been captured by Gao Shun's leader. Yang Fenggang returned to Xinzheng. By the way, Gao ordered the sergeant to close the gate and beat the dog. He killed the Baibo thief led by Yang Feng and had no power to fight back. Yang Feng fought hard under the desperate fighting of thousands of confidants and was able to successfully break out of the siege. Yang Feng was defeated, and the remaining white wave thieves surrendered.
After Gao Shun and Xi Long collected 6,000 white wave thieves, they led the army to attack all the way, and regained Xiangling, Xinzheng, Changling and other lost land. Yang Feng retreated and fled to Pingyin. He joined forces with Han Wei, another general of the Baibo thief. Xilong and Gao Shun led the Hedong army to chase them to Pingyin. Xilong saw that the thieves in Pingyin County were huge, and the dense heads were surging. At a glance, they were all Baibo thieves. They did not dare to move lightly and temporarily settle down.
When Han Yu heard that Yang Feng said that he had lost nearly half of the soldiers and horses in Xilong's hands, he was immediately furious and wanted to lead the army to fight to the death with Xilong. Yang Fenggang had deeply tasted the power of the drama. Knowing that this talent was super intelligent and full of tricks, he quickly reminded Han Yu not to act rashly. Han Yu agreed, but he didn't pay attention to it in his heart.
In Hedong, he was only afraid of the three righteous brothers, Wen Han, Guan Yu and Xu Huang. At that time, all three left Hedong. Han Yu expected that there was no one in Hedong. At night, 10,000 white wave thieves wanted to attack the camp. Just as Han Yu led the army to the Hedong camp, he found that the surroundings were empty and deserted, and he was shocked.
Han Wei knew that he had a plan. As soon as he wanted to retreat, he was killed by Xilong and Gao Shun, who were ambushed on both sides. The 10,000 white wave thieves led by Han Yu were suddenly in a mess. They were killed so much that they threw away their armor, ran away with their heads in their arms, and only fled for their lives.
Yang Feng in Pingyin City was awakened by the screams of killing outside. He quickly called the sergeant to ask him in detail. After learning that Han Yu led the army to sneak attack, he was shocked. He thought that Han Fu was ambushed by Xilong, and immediately panicked and led thousands of soldiers to save Han Yu.
Yang Feng led the army to go straight. Unexpectedly, Xilong had expected it and made Pei Yuanshao ambush the roadside. When Pei Yuanshao saw that Yang Feng led the troops to rush, he fell down and did not move until he was close. Pei Yuanshao roared fiercely, and two thousand bows and crossbows flew together. The arrows flew down like wild rain. In an instant, he shot Yang Feng's soldiers and horses upside down, and fell down a large area.
Seeing this, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase, and ordered 2,000 crossbowmen to send out several rounds of arrow tides. The arrows almost covered the world. Yang Fengjun was killed and injured, and Yang Feng was hit by several arrows and rescued by several confidants.
On the other side, Xilong and Gao Shun led the army to cover up Han Yu's chaotic army and killed all the way to the dawn. Han Yu saw that the defeat had been determined, so he led a team out of the siege and fled back to Pingyin.
So far, most of the Baibo thief army that invaded Hedong had lost. Han Yu and Yang Feng did not dare to fight again, so they abandoned Pingyin and fled to Dangyin to join forces with Guo Da. Guo Da heard that Yang Feng and Han Yu were repulsed by Xi Long and Gao Shun. They not only lost the city, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They were so angry that they wanted to kill them with knives on the spot. Fortunately, another white wave thief pleaded with Li Le and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yufuluo for them, and Guo Dacai bypassed them angrily.
At that time, the army of the righteous division had captured Linjin. When Yu Fuluo saw that the army of the volunteer division was about to attack Chang'an, he suggested that Guo Da should collect the troops for the time being. Otherwise, when Wen Han led the army back to Hedong, he would definitely be killed by the Hedong Army. As soon as Guo Da heard Wen Han's name, he changed his color on the spot. For him, Wen Han was like a nightmare. At the beginning, he gathered nearly 100,000 people in Baibo Valley, but he was still defeated by Wen Han.
Guo Da made a quick decision to withdraw his troops and return to Bingzhou. He planned to capture Bingzhou as soon as possible before Wen Han returned to Hedong, and then take the land of Hedong with absolute force.
Guo Da wanted to evacuate Hedong. When the rich families in Hedong who rebelled with him learned about it, they were all panicked and begged Guo Da to change his mind. However, Guo Da, who was born as a yellow scarf thief, had no good impression on these rich families at all. He not only ignored them, but also killed several rich patriarchs around Dangyin who came to him, killed them and all their clans. After forcibly seized their property, he led the army to leave Dangyin.
When the patriarchs of other rich families in Hedong learned that Guo Dazan killed the rich families around Dangyin, he was very regretful. But at this point, they can't turn back, and the urgent thing today is how to save their lives. They quickly prepared a lot of money and came to find Xilong one after another and begged Xilong to spare them for their lives. Xi Long only sneered at them and took these rich families back to Anyi to wait for Wen Han to come back before he was convicted.
"Hum, this group of rich people really feel that I am afraid of them because I have put up with them again and again. They plotted to kill me repeatedly, and this time they helped the white wave thief to seize Hedong. If it hadn't been for the presence of ambition and Boyi, I'm afraid that Hedong would have fallen into the hands of the white thieves.
Zhicai, what do you think I should do with them?
As soon as Wen Han returned to Hedong, he heard that Hedong was almost robbed. How could he not be angry? He sat in the main seat of the hall, his eyes glowing cold and murderous.
And Xilong suggested very plainly.
"Lord, after all, these people are rich families. If you kill them, I'm afraid that the lord will be attacked by rich people from all over the world in the future. In my opinion, it's better to spare their lives, but they have to go to their claws. For rich people, their biggest weapons are nothing more than money, land and private soldiers.
"The lord can publish their crimes to the world, and then confiscate their property and private soldiers. In this way, even if the rich people from all over the world have some words to the main guild, after all, these people conspire to kill the lord repeatedly and deserve to die. It is a great kindness for the lord to spare their lives. The resistance of rich families from all over the world to the lord will not be too strong. I don't know if the lord thinks it's so appropriate?"
"I think you have made this decision a long time ago. Otherwise, I won't have done anything to them all the time.
"As a counselor, of course, we should seek the greatest benefit for the Lord."
"So, if I don't follow you, I will look arrogant."
Wen Han raised his eyebrows with great interest, and then pretended to be dark and dissatisfied. Xilong is still plain, but this plainness will give people a feeling of being unruly.
"Zhicai believes in the lord and will understand Zhicai's painstaking efforts."
"You are becoming more and more presumptuous."
"How dare you be a talent? It's just that the lord has always advocated the family of kings and ministers, and there is no need for too much etiquette. Talented talents dare to be presumptuous.
"Ha ha, I was defeated by you. OK. Just deal with them according to your advice.
Wen Han smiled. Somehow, he got along with Xilong and always relaxed easily. Xi Long arched his hand and smiled with satisfaction. He was about to leave to make arrangements, but he was stopped by Wen Han.
"Slow, this matter is not urgent, so you can deal with it slowly. At present, as soon as Dong Zhuo dies, the world will change greatly. In this unpredictable world, where to go in Hedong is the most urgent thing at present.
The play darkened his face, put away the unruly share, and then saw that Wen Han's face was not good, slightly solemn.
"Lord, you have experienced a series of wars this year, and you have been injured by Lv Bu in Chang'an. Both physically and mentally need to recuperate. Are you sure you want to talk about such a big thing at this time?
Xilong's eyes were full of strong concern, and Wen Han's right shoulder was still in bursts of sharp pain. In Chang'an, after repelling Li Chui and the remnants of Dong Zhuo, Wen Han was worried about Guan Yu's injury, but after asking the imperial doctor in Weiyang Palace to do some simple treatment for himself, he rushed them all to Guan Yu's side. After returning to Hedong, Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han's face and right shoulder were frequently trembling and knew that he had been seriously injured. He intended to check the recovery of the injury for Wen Han, but Wen Han politely refused and asked Hua Tuo to take care of Guan Yu first.
And Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han had just returned to Hedong, and he had a lot of things to deal with, so he followed Wen Han's intention to take care of Guan Yu first. Before that, he made a lot of instructions to Wen Han, telling Wen Han not to be too tired, so as not to aggravate the injury.
Wen Han endured the severe pain from the wound on his right shoulder, and his face pretended to be fine.
"It doesn't matter. If you decide what you want earlier, my heart can also be determined early. Nowadays, we are like a boat walking in the huge waves. If we are not careful, we will fall to pieces at any time.
"It's so, Zhicai will definitely relieve the Lord's worries."
Xilong sighed in his heart and did not expose Wen Han. After clearing his throat, he recalled from his mind that he had already analyzed and made the plan. As a top advisor, in fact, after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death, he began to think about the future direction for Wen Han and even the whole Hedong.
"When Dong Zhuo died, the general trend of the heroes could not be stopped again. Nowadays, princes all over the world are quickly accumulating power for the great cause of the world. In Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, there are two fierce tigers, Yuan Shao in Hanoi and Sun Zan in Beiping. Although Han Fu and Liu Yu have a state, they are not their opponents. Now Yuan Shao and Gong Sun Zan have attacked Han Fu's Jizhou. After Jizhou is determined, it will be Liu Yu's turn in Youzhou. If I guess correctly, the land in the north will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.
And Cao Cao has a good relationship with Liu Dai in Yanzhou. Yanzhou is now invaded by black thieves, and Liu Dai is mediocre and difficult to resist. There are many counselors under Cao Cao's command. Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew all have the talent of heaven and earth, and Cao Cao Cao also has the true character of a hero. Maybe he has made a plan at the moment. According to my guess, he should use Liu Dai to fight off the thief soldiers, recruit the Heishan thief soldiers all the way, first collect the thief's base camp Qingzhou, and then plan Yanzhou.
At the same time, there are also tigers and wolves in the south, such as Runan Yuanshu, Changsha Sunjian, Jingzhou Liu Biao, etc. The south should be divided by the three of them. As for the Western Yongzhou and Liangzhou, they will be divided by Lv Bu, Li Su and others.
In this way, most of the country will fall into a melee. These states and counties are the targets of evil tigers. If I wait for Hedong to intervene again, it will be difficult to achieve great benefits. In fact, there is a state and county, and the lord has already laid his hands in ambush. Is it the best time to get it at this time?
