Chapter 138 Goodbye Xun You

Just when Ji Ping incorporated Bai Bo's army and was worried about the crisis of food shortage, he didn't know that his words "Getting for a thousand miles into the air" had caused a major change in the world, and the original historical track had shifted again. ⊙

After receiving the order from Dong Zhuo to return the troops that day, the two were afraid that Dong Zhuo would take action, so they immediately withdrew their troops, but did not return to Chang'an, but went directly to Liangzhou's nest.

After Jia Xu retreated to Huayin with Niu Fu, he heard that Dong Zhuo had ordered the recall of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and he was disgusted with a slight change and sighed that Dong Zhuo made a mistake.

After only one day of his life, Dong Zhuo received the news that Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops back to Liangzhou. He was furious and extremely shocked.

Liangzhou is the back of the Sanfu and the old nest of Dong Zhuo. It is more important to the Sanfu place than Hedong County. If Ma Teng and Han Sui occupy Liangzhou, Liangzhou will be in chaos and the Sanfu will be difficult to be peaceful, and Dong Zhuo will lose his greatest reliance.

When the backyard caught fire, Dong Zhuo had no time to take care of Hedong County, and even more so the princes of Guandong. He ordered the Central Army General Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, Meng Jin and Xiaopingjin, who fought with Sun Jian in Luoyang overnight to withdraw their troops and set fire to Luoyang.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, and all the palaces, ancestral temples, and houses within a radius of two hundred miles were burned to pieces, and the imperial tombs were excavated. Hu Zhen and others led their troops out of Luoyang according to Dong Zhuo's orders and entered Hangu Pass west.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo ordered the Central Army General Hu Zhen to station troops in Mianchi, guard Hangu Pass, Xu Rong station troops in Shanxian, and Niu Fu station troops in Huayin. Dong Zhuo himself took Lu Bu and several lieutenants back to Chang'an to take charge of Sanfu. While sending people to continue lobbying for Ma Teng and Han Sui, Dong Min led his troops to guard Xiaoguan, Guyuan, northwest of Guanzhong to prevent Ma Teng and Han Sui from attacking Sanfu.

After Hu Zhen and Xu Rong retreated to Hangu Pass, Sun Jian's troops entered Luoyang.

But at this time, Luoyang was already in ruins. There was no people for hundreds of miles. Sun Jian was stationed in the palace, which was already ruined wells. He ordered soldiers to clean up the Han Dynasty temples, and then Sun Jian entered Xin'an.

Dong Zhuo sent someone to win over Sun Jian and promised to have a high official and generous salary, but Sun Jian refused. However, Sun Jian had no choice but to Gao Jun's Hangu Pass, and other princes in Guandong, including Yuan Shu, did not take any action.

Sun Jian went deep into the army alone and could not provide food and grass, so he returned to Luoyang to repair the imperial tomb excavated by Li Jue and Guo Si. He led his troops back to Luyang again.

At this time, the Guandong counties, the prefect of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, and the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Mao, fought intermittently for more than three months. The prefect of Chenliu, Zhang Miao, dissuaded but ignored it. But soon after, with the secret support of his in-law Yuan Shao, Liu Dai captured Dongjun and defeated Qiao Mao. During the chaos, Qiao Mao disappeared.

Cao Cao entered Dongjun last time and wanted to stop Liu Dai and Qiaomao's battle. However, his soldiers mutinyed, and then recruited another 5,000 soldiers from Yangzhou to practice day and night in Chenliu.

In Bohai County, Yuan Shao sent three lobbyists to secretly lobbyists. The incident of lobbying the princes of Guandong to plan to make Liu Yu the emperor encountered another obstacle.

Chunyu Qiong failed to lobby for Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu, Feng Ji failed to lobby for Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others, and even Xu You failed to lobby for Liu Yu again.

Although Liu Yu was loyal and honest, he was not stupid and did not want to be a puppet of Yuan Shao and other Guandong princes. Xu You tried his best to do everything he could to force Liu Yu to escape to the Xianbei, and Xu You had no choice but to give up.

Then Xu You took a step back and tried to lobby Liu Yu for the affairs of the Shangshu. He was justified in rewarding the princes of Guandong, but was also rejected by Liu Yu. Xu You had no choice but to return.

Yuan Shao was very angry when he failed to establish another emperor, but at this time, Feng Ji proposed another vicious plan.

This plan was to secretly make an appointment with the chief of Liaodong vassal state Gongsun Zan and let him go south to attack Jizhou. When Gongsun Zan's army moved, Han Fu would be panicked. Then Yuan Shao took the opportunity to send an eloquent person to lobby Han Fu for giving up Jizhou.

This plan made Yuan Shao very moved, so he secretly sent Xu You to lobby Gongsun Zan, and at the same time ordered Fengji to win over famous scholars under Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, as an insider.

Just as wars were rising everywhere in the world, fighting openly and secretly, Ji Ping was planning to borrow food.

After the Bai Bo army was incorporated, Ji Ping asked Zhang Liao to reorganize. Unexpectedly, according to the standards of the Hedong Army, he actually reorganized 35,000 elite soldiers from this nearly 100,000 peasant army. This proportion was much beyond Ji Ping's expectations, and he then redeployed his troops.

The commander Han Xian was ordered to lead 5,000 people and obey the orders of the Central Army General Guan Yu. Guan Yu led 20,000 elite troops to sit in the twelve counties in the southern part of Hedong County, defending Pujin Ferry, Fengling Ferry and Maojin Ferry.

The commander Li Le was ordered to lead 5,000 people, and obeyed the orders of the General Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao led 20,000 elite troops to be stationed in the eight northern counties of Hedong County, defending Yumenkou, Hexi County and Taiyuan County.

The Fengyi Captain Xu Huang led 5,000 people to obey the orders of the Central Army General Xun Li. Xun Li led 20,000 elite troops into Shangdang County and assisted Shangdang Prefect Xun You to guard Shangdang.

Another 10,000 elite troops were transferred to Hanoi County, with five thousand returning to Zhonglang General Duan Wei, and five thousand returning to Zhonglang General Zhang Fei, guarding Hanoi County.

Duan Jin, the chief lieutenant of the attack on the gang, led three thousand guard camps to guard the Anyi Palace, obeyed Ji Ping and Empress He, and at the same time helped Hedong prefect Lu Zhitong to reach the government orders.

Everything was settled. When another heavy snow was falling, Ji Ping took Dian Wei on the journey to Shangdang County. His final destination for this trip was Yecheng, Jizhou, and he wanted to borrow grain from the Jizhou Mu Han Fu.

Yin Muyue and Tang Wan stayed in Anyi. While Tang Wan was busy with the construction of the clinic, she trained a female guard with Yin Muyue.

The members of this female guard were all women and children rescued by Ji Ping from the chaos and hunger, and they were all homeless. The boy was handed over to Duan Jin and Geng Zhong, while the girl was handed over to Tang Wan and Yin Muyue, either to help weave clothes and sew quilts, or to train with the two girls.

At the end of November, Ji Ping crossed the mountains and entered Shangdang County.

Shangdang County is a plateau basin surrounded by mountains and terrain is higher than the surrounding Hedong County, Taiyuan County and Jizhou. Especially from the north of Jizhou, the Taihang Mountain where Shangdang is located stands majestic and steep, as if it is connected to the sky.

Therefore, the strategic position of Shangdang County was extremely important, so Xun You could rely on his terrain to defend the danger with his small force, blocking the pace of the Baibo army and the Southern Xiongnu advancement in the east.

Xun You initially suggested that Ji Ping take Hedong, but he obtained the position of Shangdang Prefect from Dong Zhuo, because he was attracted by Shangdang's strategic position because Shangdang was in hand. It was easy to attack and guard the northern part of Hedong County.

This time, Ji Ping defeated Bai Bo's army, in addition to Ji Ping's dissolution and division. Xun You sent troops to attack Shangdang from the sidelines, which was also an important factor in forcing Bai Bo's army to surrender.

When he arrived at Shangdang County, Ji Ping had not arrived at Changzi County, the prefect of Shangdang, Xun You, and the officials of the county, greeted him thirty miles away from Changzi County.

"Shangdang Prefect Xun You pays homage to the lord!" Xun You and a group of officials fell to the ground.

Although many officials were confused about Ji Ping's identity, Xun Wu and 20,000 elite soldiers who arrived half a month ago made them afraid of this lord.

"Go up quickly!"

Ji Ping hurriedly helped Xun You up, saying that he had gone from a hidden palace, an emperor who could not control his life and death, to his current independent control of the country, 70% of the contributions were in Xun You.

Then Ji Ping asked other officials to get up, one of them was a special figure, the Southern Xiongnu's steed corpse, the Shanyu and Luan Tiyufuluo.

After Ji Ping entered Hedong County, he gained an in-depth understanding of the situation of the Southern Xiongnu.

During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, the Xiongnu were in civil strife and divided two tribes. Huhanye Shanyu led his troops to join the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was the Southern Xiongnu. The Eastern Han government established the Xiongnu General to guard the General and gave the Southern Xiongnu a certain amount of food, silk and other materials every year. The Southern Xiongnu assisted the Eastern Han Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Northern Xiongnu and the Xianbei.

But in the past decade, the power of the Southern Xiongnu increased greatly, the tribal components were complex, and the internal content was not hidden. They joined forces with the Xianbei to attack the mainland many times, and several Shanyu were killed by their subordinates. In the fourth year of Zhongping, three years ago, Emperor Ling dispatched troops to the Southern Xiongnu in order to fight against the rebellious Zhang Chun and Xianbei. At that time, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Luanti Qiangqu sent his son Luanti Yufuluo to lead troops to support the Han Dynasty.

However, among the Southern Xiongnu, there were many forces unwilling to work for the Han Dynasty. It was convenient for the coup to launch a coup in the fifth year of Zhongping to kill Shanyu and Qiangqu. They were also afraid that Yu Fuluo would take revenge outside, so they appointed Xubugudu Hou as Shanyu.

So Yufuluo established himself as the Shanyu, led his people to complain to Emperor Ling, and stayed in the Han area.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Marquis of Subugudu, the Southern Xiongnu, was killed. Yu Fuluo wanted to return to his hometown, but he did not receive permission from Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling hung up the position of the Shanyu and asked the old king of the Southern Xiongnu to manage the Southern Xiongnu.

Not long after, Emperor Ling died. Yu Fuluo took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and joined forces with the Baibo thieves to invade Taiyuan, Hexi, Shangdang and other places, but was captured and subdued by Xun You.

Next to Luan Tiyufuluo is his younger brother Luan Tihu Chuquan and his son Liu Bao.

Because the Fuluo lineage was a descendant of Maodun Shanyu, the leader of the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once married a royal daughter to Maodun Shanyu and made an appointment with Maodun Shanyu to be brothers. Therefore, the descendants of Maodun Shanyu also took Liu as their surname.

Ji Ping did not have much thought about the Southern Xiongnu armed forces. The Southern Xiongnu had a strong nomadic style and had never accepted the influence of Confucian culture. He was too profit-seeking, sometimes surrendering, sometimes rebelling, and finally rebelling. It still takes a chance to completely conquer.

Along the way, Ji Ping held Xun You's hand and walked with him. Looking at his slightly tired face, he couldn't help but sigh: "I've been suffering this year."

In the past six months, he has experienced hard work in Hedong County, and he can naturally understand the difficulties of Xun You in Shangdang County. After all, Xun You controls much less troops than him and does not have many helpers under him. He only relies on fame. However, Shangdang's Southern Xiongnu and Black Mountain Army will not care about fame.

He talked all the way, although he had not met Xun You for more than a year, Ji Ping never doubted Xun You's loyalty, and Xun You did a very careful job in this regard. His family, the eldest son Xun Ji and the second son Xun Shi, have been staying with Ji Ping in Hedong County.

At this time, Ji Ping followed Xun You's eldest son, the fifteen-year-old Xun Ji, looking at his father excitedly from time to time.

Xun You swept over his eldest son from time to time. At this moment, he was even more grateful to Ji Ping in addition to being loyal.

His eldest son Xun Ji was weak since childhood. With the Xun family's family background, he naturally hired many famous doctors to treat diseases, but without exception, it was determined that Xun Ji would not live to be fifteen years old, which has always been Xun You's biggest heart disease.

More than three months ago, Xun Ji, who had always been weak, almost died of illness. Fortunately, he was rescued by Li and Ji Ping, who were skilled in medicine. After Ji Ping's acupuncture, Xun Ji's health improved greatly.

Xun You got the news, so he was very grateful to Ji Ping, and he worked hard to serve Ji Ping. (Want to know more exciting news about "The Cangtian of the Last Han Dynasty"?
