Chapter 633 Disaster from Hedong
Not to mention Huangfu Songyang's slanderous moves of open and secret action, the imperial edict issued by Dong Zhuo through the emperor was actually just a trick of leisure. If it was successful, it would be fine if it didn't work. Li Ru had already seen that Huangfu Song would not be willing to be a thug for Yuan Wei, so it was expected that Liangzhou would not change significantly.
However, for safety reasons, Dong Zhuo transferred Dong Min back to An Ding and responded to Huangfu Song's secret moves at any time.
At the same time, when Han Fu led his army across Henan and headed to Puyang, Dong Zhuo appointed Guo Si as the captain of Changshui Camp in Hedong. This is a bright signal to start the war!
In principle, three of the five Northern Army schools in the capital were Sanhe Camp, guarding Hedong, Hanoi and Henan counties, but this was only nominal. In fact, the five schools were stationed around the capital. Now Dong Zhuo suddenly appointed Guo Si to Changshui Camp, but asked Guo Si to station his troops in Hedong County.
However, at this time, the aristocratic troops represented by Yuan Wei had not been deployed. The troops heading south from Jizhou came to Linyi, and Sun Jiancai transferred from Changsha came to Ruyin, Runan. The only troops in the eastern part of Sili were Yuan Shu, but no matter in terms of the number or combat power, it was not the time to take action in full.
The local troops in Hedong were not enough to fight against Guo Si's elite, so they had to turn low-key and hide in the countryside. However, this is the land of the aristocratic race. Although Guo Si had openly controlled Hedong County and was plundering food and grass everywhere, it was obviously unrealistic to get food and grass from the aristocratic race, because their food and grass became big merchants overnight, and Guo Si really didn't dare to easily touch these giant merchants.
So Yuan Wei and his group began to confront Dong Zhuo in the court. However, Dong Zhuo did not take this trick at all, and directly removed Yuan Wei from his post on the grounds of old age and illness, and used Yang Biao as the Grand Marshal to record the affairs of Shangshu. Then there was a major adjustment, allowing the Yongzhou clans to take up high positions, and the original centrists also took over. Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and Duan Wei took over real power, while the Guandong clans lost their posts one after another.
Yuan Wei and others took the opportunity to leave the capital. For a moment, Dong Zhuo was arrogant and the capital had completely become Dong Zhuo's world. Dong Zhuo's troops even took advantage of the fact that the aristocratic troops had not been deployed to loot food and supplies. Although Dong Zhuo's strict orders could only move the aristocratic territory, it was hard to say what would become in the end when the specific execution of the orders.
In fact, Dong Zhuo became a rat that everyone shouted to beat in Luoyang. It has a lot to do with the uneven quality of Dong Zhuo's troops. Dong Zhuo's troops have strong combat effectiveness, but they are not disciplined, especially those Qiang people, Xianbei and Xiongnu who had just joined the Han Dynasty, and their wildness in their nature has not changed. They were released to collect grain and immediately made the four fields of Luoyang flock and mourn everywhere.
Yuan Wei and others also took the opportunity to take advantage of the convenience of controlling local governments to post tasks to players. Killing and clearing out riot soldiers immediately became the most popular tasks nowadays. On the contrary, players in Luoyang City accepted the task of collecting food and grass, in other words, robbing licenses!
Now, it's even more lively!
....................................................
In fact, this lively chasing behind Fang Zhiwen's butt, where Fang Zhiwen's troops passed, then began to mess up. Xun Yu's foresight was really accurate and timely.
When he arrived outside Yingyin City, Fang Zhiwen had no plans to enter. The New Year was about to be celebrated. Fang Zhiwen still wanted to celebrate the New Year in Xiangyang, so he could not delay the road.
"Wenruo, I won't send you away, but you know what happened behind us. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo's troops will arrive in Yingchuan soon, and the thieves in the fourth field will not be willing to be lonely, so let Zhen Xiang stay and help. If your entire clan moves, Zhen Xiang will go south to chase me. If not, let Zhen Xiang protect your little family to Huainan and then walk on the waterway from the Yangtze River."
The spirit on Xun Yu's face was a little complicated. He looked at Fang Zhiwen for a while and nodded, "Thank you, sir, everyone, there will be a date in the future!"
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Yingyin City. Fang Zhiwen used a color to Zhen Xiang. Zhen Xiang grinned and made a gesture of everything wrapped around me, and took five hundred personal soldiers away.
Xu Shu looked at Xun Yu's figure leaving, shook his head silently, and wished him good luck sympathetically, but it seemed that it was difficult to escape Fang Zhiwen's clutches. Xu Shu was very confused. How did Fang Zhiwen know that the Xun clan members would not support Xun Yu's suggestions? The facts are all in front of him now! Are those Xun clan members all fools?
"Sir, why do you think Xun Yu can't convince his tribe members?"
"Haha, the meat eater despises! Xun's family has a high opinion of themselves! Thinking back then, when the Yellow Turban thief left Zheng Township, he turned to him twenty miles away. Xun's family felt that they were a prominent family and admired them in all villages. They claimed that they were not inferior to Zheng Kangcheng. How could they suffer wars? Besides, Xun's family has a deep foundation in Yingchuan, so how could they give up completely? Also, where can Xun's family go?"
Xu Shu was stunned. After thinking for a while, he felt that although it was a bit reluctant, it was indeed the case, especially for the last reason, Xun had no place to go!
If a poor family wants to move, they will get a package and leave, and they will be content with the situation. When a big family wants to relocate, they must first think about where they can accommodate them before talking about it! Moreover, there are too many people in the family, and the ideas are even more difficult to unify. Therefore, it seems reasonable for Fang Zhiwen to make this guess.
However, his confidence seemed surprising. Could it be that he had already arrived at Yingyin first? Xu Shu looked at Fang Zhiwen suspiciously. Fang Zhiwen smiled strangely, spread his hands, and said that he had nothing to hide.
Seeing Zhen Xiang and Xun Yu and his party far away, Fang Zhiwen smiled and said, "Okay, our target Wancheng, we are leaving!"
...................................................................................
Liu Bei mobilized all his civil and military generals, as well as elite cavalry and infantry, and personally went ten miles outside the east gate of Wancheng to welcome Fang Zhiwen's great commander.
It is impossible for Fang Zhiwen to enter the city with his eight thousand troops, but Fang Zhiwen himself followed Liu Bei into the city with his subordinates and 500 personal soldiers. Zhang Fei, who was beside him, couldn't help but think in his heart whether to solve this guy directly in the city!
Liu Bei seemed very happy and introduced his subordinates to Fang Zhiwen one by one, with a little smugness on his face. However, Fang Zhiwen's expression was very calm and he looked a little unsatisfied.
After everyone got into the banquet, Liu Bei led everyone to toast Fang Zhiwen first, Liu Bei asked out his doubts.
"Brother, why did you frown when you introduced your subordinates just now?"
"Xuande, you went north to Beijing and found these talents? Also, you have been in Jingzhou for so long. Jingzhou has a great local population. Have you not gained anything?"
Liu Bei was embarrassed. Fang Zhiwen said that he was not working hard enough!
"Brother, I am not very good at being so talented. How can I be as famous as the elder brother?
"Xuande should not belittle himself. Xuande is the current emperor uncle. Who dares to say that Xuande is weak and talented? But Xuande, look at your current jurisdiction, from south to north, two or three thousand miles, can this little person be used? You have to recruit talents in a large amount!"
"What my brother taught me is that I will definitely work hard to recruit talents."
Seeing Liu Bei's posture so low, Zhang Fei felt very uncomfortable, but Zhang Fei looked at Guan Yu, Sun Gan and Chen Zhen, and seemed to think this was normal. There were smiles on his face, so Zhang Fei had to drink wine and pretend to be unable to see it.
"Is there something wrong with my brother going south to Jingzhou this time?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Neiko missed her brother a little, so we went to Jingzhou to visit relatives, and then took a boat to sea to go north to Qingzhou."
Liu Bei felt relieved quietly. The pressure on this cheap brother was too great. If Fang Zhiwen really wanted to make trouble in Jingzhou, Liu Bei would definitely not be able to sleep!
Fang Zhiwen took a look at Mrs. Gan, who was accompanying her wife. This is the famous Gan Mei. She looks very good. She has a top-notch character and appearance. Liu Bei is very blessed.
Then Liu Bei stopped his eyes on Chen Zhen: "It's great to be filial, and Xuande can be used more."
Sun Gan smiled on his face, but his heart skipped a secretly. Fang Zhiwen must not underestimate him. Isn’t this absenteeism?
Chen Zhen thanked me lukewarmly: "Sir, I'm over the award."
Fang Zhiwen nodded in appreciation, no longer talking about this topic, and avoiding misunderstandings. However, Liu Bei said happily: "So, Gongyou and Xiaoqi are my brother's right-hand man."
After talking a few more words, the two turned the topic to the current situation.
"Brother, the Central Plains are unstable now, and the capital is in a turbulent manner. Seeing that the war is about to begin, why has the eldest brother returned to Youzhou at this moment?"
"Haha, Xuande, you have returned to Jingzhou, why don't I go back to Youzhou? In theory, the emperor in the capital is your nephew, you don't care. How can we outsiders take care of it?"
This sentence made Liu Bei very embarrassed and couldn't help but lower his head and cry: "What the eldest brother said is that it's all the younger brother who is incompetent and cannot share the worries of the emperor. I feel ashamed!"
"Mr. Fang, this is over!" Sun Gan immediately interrupted.
Zhang Fei even jumped up: "You can say sarcastic words. When it comes to you, you are also a minister of the emperor, why don't you share the worries for the emperor? My elder brother at least raised troops to fight with Dong Zhuo, but you have been watching the fun. What reason is there to blame my elder brother now!"
"Rareless! How dare you insult my lord!" Zhao Yun threw the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, and stood up with a pressing hand on the hilt of the sword.
Awesome, the generals on both sides stood up one after another, glaring at each other tensely, as if they would turn into a bloody conflict at any time.
Taishi Zhaorong smiled and whispered to comfort Gan Mei, whose face was ashen and trembled, with a little trembling body.
Liu Bei looked up in shock, with a look of discomfort, and then shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing, sit down quickly, I will talk to my elder brother, what are you doing! I will make my elder brother laugh."
Fang Zhiwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, each other! Haha, it's still possible to stay stable."
Guan Yu looked at Fang Zhiwen with a long and narrow look and nodded with a smile.
"Zilong, Gao Shun, you all sit down. You don't know Yide's temper. Every time you drink enough, you will go crazy. Just ignore him! If you have no place to use your strength, go out and fight."
Zhang Fei snorted: "Just fight, Zhao Zilong, come out and we will fight again!"
Zhao Yun grinned: "Okay, then come on, your defeated general!"
Guan Yu shook his head helplessly, glanced at Gao Shun, and Liu Bei also looked embarrassed. Fang Zhiwen looked at him with a smile, waved his hand and signaled them to go out quickly. (To be continued...)
