Chapter 42 Don't try to play tricks

In the second year of Jian'an, in the spring of 197 A.D., after a period of rest, Gongsun Zan and Gao Gan met again in Renqiu, and the two sides began a new round of bloody fighting. In this battle, Gongsun Zang raised a crowd and dispatched as many as 100,000 horses, which can be said to be fierce. Yuan Shao did not give up much, and more than 150,000 people were put into the battlefield. The two sides have fought several games, and each has its own victory or defeat. Later, Yuan Shao personally sat in the river and supervised the front-line war.

And Zhang Yan also raised 80,000 Black Mountain troops, echoing more than ten departments such as Gongsun Zan, Zuoxiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Digen, Qingniujiao, Fuyun and so on, ranging from 10,000 members to thousands at small. They besieged Changshan, Gaoyang, Yi and other counties respectively. The war spread to the whole of Hebei. Countless people suffered and tens of thousands of fertile fields were destroyed. Ju Yi, the general of Hebei Province, led tens of thousands of horses, insisted on concentrating troops, and then encircling and intercepted the strategy. He ignored the fireworks of several counties and asked for help. He was led by "first landing in the camp" and won many battles. Guo Daxian and Yu Dian's roots were broken one after another, losing thousands of people.

At the same time, after Yuan Shu became emperor, not only the political passive situation was not broken, but also attacked by Cao Jian, Liu Bei and Sun Jian. The armies were killed and retreated one after another. Le Ru, Li Feng and other generals were killed one after another. Most of Yuzhou was divided by the three families. In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat to Shouchun. Secretly, he wrote letters to Lv Bu and wanted him to send troops to help him.

On the side of Jingzhou, after receiving the Bingzhou list, Liu Biao refused to send troops west to Sichuan and Shu to attack Liu Zhang on the pretext that the remnants of He Man and other yellow scarves were not clear. Instead, he dispatched troops and generals were ready to besiege the important town of Xiangyang. This almost made He Chen feel like throwing stones at his feet. However, in hibation, even if He Man really retreated, it is estimated that Liu Biao still has a lot of reasons.

The Chang'an area in Guanzhong is still chaotic. Warlords of all roads have been fighting for territory. The whole rich Sanfu land is almost empty, thousands of miles away, and white bones can be seen everywhere.

Nowadays, the world is in complete chaos. There are many battles in various places. Every day, I don't know how many soldiers throw corpses in the wilderness, and their families are destroyed.

And He Chen was also inevitable. When Yuan Shao was besieged by Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, Cao Qian turned his eyes to Yuan Shu and Qingzhou area, and immediately asked Gan Ning to lead 50,000 soldiers, send troops to Handan, and then took the opportunity to include Muye, Yangping, Qinghe, Gaotang and other places in the territory. If it hadn't been for the generals Gao Lan and Han Meng who led 100,000 soldiers to guard the Xindu, I'm afraid that Huang Zhong would have taken over this big city.

Yuan Shao was besieged on three sides, but he was not afraid at all. He divided his troops and stationed in the important town. In addition to Bingzhou, which was really out of reach all the way, he resisted one wave after another of fierce attacks by Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and he also counterattacked from time to time, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

Taiyuan Prefecture, Bingzhou.

He Chen, Guo Jia and Jia Xu discussed in the secret room.

Guo Jia walked around excitedly, and then said with a look, "The good opportunity to calm down Hebei is in front of us. Lord must not miss it."

He Chen was wearing a light green silk robe, which was not only luxurious, but also generous and decent. He was leaning on the chair, playing with two pieces of steel gall with one hand, and turning quickly in the middle of his palm. He said calmly, "Someone also knows that this is a good opportunity, but the problem is that although Bingzhou has enough soldiers, but You can't arm so many troops. Armor and food and salary alone can directly crush the finances of Bingzhou. Now Zhang Liao leads 100,000 troops and guards the border fortress of Yanmen all year round. Gan Ning and Wei Yan have added 120,000 Ma Zha on the front line of Hebei, and there are still 30,000 standing soldiers in Bingzhou. You should know that the land of one state can support 250,000 troops, which is already a very, very surprising number. If you expand the new army, I'm afraid you don't have to fight, and it will be directly dragged down.

"Hehe, there are 120,000 troops in Hebei, and the lord does not need to add one by step." Guo Jiaxian was extremely confident.

"Oh? So there is a good strategy to break the enemy in the heart of filial piety? He Chen was refreshed and leaned forward slightly.

Guo Jia smiled hoarsely, and then shook his head and said, "There is really no strategy to win a thousand miles. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no immutable tactic at all. Discarding it is just to improve the winning rate. In the current form, in the eyes of his subordinates, half of Yuan Shao's troops have been restrained by Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and the remaining half are mostly stationed in Xindu and Nanpi. Gao Lan is a famous general in Hebei. He knows the art of war and is good at fighting. If he is fully responsible for the defense of Xindu, our army may be in a hurry. But now under Guo Tu's restraint, we can't fully defend Xindu according to our own will. In this way, our army has the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Guo Tu?" He Chen meditated. This guy is really not a good bird. He is not very good at it, but he is full of bad water. In addition to persuading Han Fu to give up to Jizhou, he is really lack of kindness, and he has also ruined Yuan Shao's great things many times. At that time, Ju Shu advised Yuan Shao to take the emperor and order the princes. He was the first person in the Central Plains to put forward this idea, but he was stopped by Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong. Later, he strongly advised Yuan Shao to be the main war officer. After the defeat, he was worried about being punished. Gao Lan and Zhang He were forced to surrender in desperation. After that, they provoked a war between the Yuan brothers. In short, he contributed to the destruction of Yuan Shao's group.

Guo Jia continued: "Guo Tu is so happy but short-sighted. The lord can be proud of his soldiers, lure the enemy out, and then besiege, and strive to destroy the Gaolan Yousheng troops in one fell swoop."

He Chen Chuan stopped the rotation of the iron gallbladder in his hand, his eyebrows gently beat twice, and said with a smile, "It's easy to say. It's really necessary to implement it, but it can't tolerate a trace of mistakes. Do you have a specific plan for filial piety?"

Guo Jia shook his head and suddenly said, "Not yet, but I hope that the lord can rush to the front line in person, sit in the three armies, strive for the first battle to determine the situation in Hebei, and completely disarm Yuan Shao."

"This is what someone expects. As for Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, how to deal with filial piety? He Chen raised another question of concern.

"Zhang Yan is brave and has great prestige in the Montenegrin army. Although this person gathered more than 100,000 yuan, he was rampant in the Taihang area. However, there is no stable territory, relying on looting for a living. If the Lord fairly settles Jizhou, each will be based on the fortress, and the walls will be clear. It won't be long before the Black Mountain army will be in chaos. At that time, a piece of paper can recruit Zhang Yan. Although Gongsun Zun is extremely ambitious, he is cruel and unkind, and his subordinates have many complaints, which is not enough to worry about. As for the grandson of Liaodong, he can temporarily send believers to stabilize, and then Hebei will be stable, Xu Xu Tuzhi.

He Chen couldn't help nodding and said a little worriedly, "It's just that the wind and clouds are about to rise today, cows, ghosts and snakes, and demons are dancing. I'm afraid that I will go to the front line here. In case I can't come back in a short time, I'm afraid that Taiyuan will change. Although Gongda and Yuan Hao worked hard, in some aspects, they were finally a little reassuring.

Although they didn't say it clearly, Guo Jia and Jia Xu are both refined. As long as they think about it, they will know what some aspects of He Chen said. Needless to say, Xun You and Tian Feng's ability and means are handled in an orderly manner. The main reason is that in He Chen, although he only leads the status of a general and a state herdsman, he is in power. Opening the house is like three divisions. Even the so-called three princes and nine ministers have to be restrained by him. Things are bad here. He Chen has his own plan. To put it bluntly, he must embark on the road of becoming emperor in the end. In all the court, personnel appointments and mobilizations and orders issued must be beneficial to himself. He must not let the Xinghan forces rise up. Although Tian Feng and Xun You are loyal to He Chen, there is nothing to say. However, they are still inevitably influenced by the old ministers of the Han Dynasty. It is vaguely remembered that when Cao Qian entered the position of the Duke of Wei, Xun Yu was strongly blocked, and then transferred away from the center by suspicion. In the end, Shouchun became depressed and died of illness (it was said that Cao Qian was poisoned to death). Less than two years after Xun Yu left, Xun You also died of illness. If there is no connection, it is really hard to believe. So now He Chen has another headache. If he becomes king or directly becomes emperor, how can he continue to retain the heart of such a loyal minister? He can't let the tragedy of Er Xun happen again. When Cao Qian was crowned King of Wei, many people died, including Shang Shu Cui Yan, Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Jin Yi, Ji Miao, Jimu and other important ministers.

Thinking of this time, He Chen suddenly flashed in his mind for no reason what Feng Xi said about Kirin, and he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. This guy pointed out a clear way for himself, so he asked, "Fengxiao, what position does Feng Xi have now?"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were obviously stunned. Obviously, they couldn't keep up with He Chen's jumping thinking. How could they get involved with an irrechieous person? Guo Jia thought for a thought and must answer, "Feng Xi is now a general and has been appointed as a captain at the city gate."

"Temporarily transfer him to the door."

"Yes."

He Chen then returned to the topic and said as if nothing had happened, "Cont you on what happened just now?"

Jia Xu paused and looked back at Guo Jia. Seeing that his eyes were burning at him, he said, "General, you don't need to worry too much. General Huang and Li Shizhong can be in Taiyuan to sit in the center. If the general is not worried, he can also let his subordinates take care of him in Kyoto."

General Huang is naturally Huang Zhong, and Li Shizhong is Li Yan. These two are He Chen's best friends. Even if Liu Xie is about to be abolished now, they will not hesitate to act as vanguards.

He Chen stood up and took two steps. Then his distant eyes passed through the paper window. The wind was gentle and beautiful outside, and the sky was clear. From time to time, geese returned, which made people feel relaxed and happy. After a long time, he sighed: "In the cold, the geese only thought about how to move south and survive the cold wind and cold. Once the spring flowers bloom and everything revives, it is eager to return, looking for a spouse, ** reproduction, hehe..."

"That's it. Let Huang Zhong also lead the position of lieutenant, in charge of all military affairs in Taiyuan, assisted by Li Yan. Wen He assisted in the dark. At the same time, he should keep a firm eye on Emperor Xian and prevent a person with a heart from coming in. If anyone wants to make trouble behind his back, take it directly. When General Ben comes back, he will settle the account. Speaking of the back, He Chen looked murderous.
