People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 118

A Wei River runs through Guanzhong, dividing Guanzhong into Weibei and Weinan.

Li Yao led [-] fine cavalry to defeat the Han army in the Lantian Valley in Weinan, and then withdrew troops westward in Weinan for several days. Although they were able to ride horses, the prisoners had to walk, so it took some effort.

When the whole Guanzhong was afraid of their bad name, they had already returned to Chencang, and of course they had to cross the Weishui River, because Chencang was to the north of the Weishui River.

Of course, they don't need to worry about this. Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, the chiefs and leaders who came back a few days ago have collected enough boats. At this time, there are docks on both sides of the river, and they can cross the river just by boarding a boat.

The building boats of the Han Dynasty are not stable when standing on them, and you can clearly feel their bumps, but firstly, the water flow is not fast in winter, and secondly, the distance is not too long, so the impact is not great.

When they crossed the Wei River, Li Yao saw Li Wenhou, Beigong Boyu, and the chiefs of various ministries, and the chiefs came to greet them after hearing the news.

Li Yao smiled and asked someone to take out Zhu Jun's head and banner, and he said loudly:
"We defeated the enemy in one battle and defeated tens of thousands of the Han army. Now the general Zhu Jun of the Han army, his head and the big banner have all been brought back!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

Li Wenhou was very satisfied with Li Yao's performance, then he laughed and said:

"We easily wiped out the three armies of the imperial court. Even the leader's head and the banner were brought back, which shows that the Han army is vulnerable!"

The other chiefs and leaders also laughed and nodded when they heard this. Now they are full of confidence, even if Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo lead the army, they dare to touch it.

Beigong Boyu looked left and right, and finally confirmed that Beigongli's body was complete, neither missing arms nor legs, not even a few wounds, he was relieved, after all, he was his own son, and then said presumptuously:

"It turns out that the Han army is just like that. We don't need to retreat first and then attack the camp. We can definitely beat them to annihilation!"

In fact, the Han army is not so weak, but they have been wiped out, so they can only let others comment, after all, dead people can no longer argue.

In short, after this incident, the rebels were once again monolithic, not as contradictory as before.

Li Yao, Bei Gongli, and Ten Thousand Jingqi were treated like heroes, and soon they slaughtered sheep and cattle, and began to celebrate their achievements.

At the same time, the Han army starting from Hebei finally arrived at Hongnong Huayin, and was about to enter the land of Sanfu.

Huangfu Song stood among the thousands of troops, he frowned tightly, not daring to relax at all, and immediately issued military orders to the left and right:

"Today we are going to set up camp, and tomorrow we will enter Sansuke's Land, so we must pay close attention to this after tomorrow..."

"From now on, the daily march will not exceed fifty miles, and the camp must be strong enough. Three trenches must be dug in the front, back, left, and right sides, and antlers should be erected to keep horses away..."

"Send more scouts and cavalry, and increase the number of patrols to ensure that no enemy will suddenly appear within five miles of our army..."

"Even if you just rest for one night, you must do as required, and you must not let your guard down!"

The people on the left and right responded loudly:

"only!"

Then Huangfu Song sighed, he knew that Dong Zhuo and Zhu Jun were the other two armies that the emperor divided his military power with.

Now that Zhu Jun has died in battle, the [-] Han army has been wiped out, and there is no way to contain some of the rebels. The pressure they are facing is even greater.

I hope that Dong Zhuo will know something, be reliable, don't underestimate the enemy, don't rush forward, and help him contain some of the rebels.

So Huangfusong said again:
"Send someone to Dong Zhonglang's place, and repeat what I just said. Now there are only two main Han armies left in the imperial court, and the Liangzhou rebels can't surprise the camp again."

Immediately someone responded:
"only!"

Then he turned and left.

At this time, Huangfusong looked to the west, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the obstacles, and directly saw the Liangzhou rebels.

The Liangzhou rebels are different from the Yellow Turban bandits in every aspect, but the biggest difference is that the Yellow Turban bandits cannot retreat, and the Liangzhou rebels can retreat to Liangzhou.

Once the rebels returned to Liangzhou, the imperial court would have to pay ten times, a hundred times...the price to do so if they wanted to exterminate them.

Liangzhou is vast, and the rebels are familiar with the terrain, and this is a state-wide rebellion, making it even more difficult to wipe out.

The Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou for hundreds of years cost tens of billions of military expenditures to achieve a short-lived peace.

Huangfusong has a headache...

On the other side, Dong Zhuo also understood what Huangfusong meant, but he just felt upset. Everyone is a general, so how can you command me.

He told Li Ru these, and then said to Li Ru:
"Wen You, this time I don't want to fall behind. I want to take the initiative to make great contributions, but I'm afraid of being defeated by the rebels. What can I do?"

Li Ru is good at strategy, but slightly inferior in military affairs. He couldn't think of a strategy to defeat the rebels, so he could only persuade him:
"Ming Gong, Huangfu Zhonglang's words are very reasonable. Fortify the stronghold and fight the battle. This is the best way now. This is Guanzhong, and this is the Han land. You can get continuous logistics supplies. The Liangzhou rebel army is just a rebel army. As long as they are not allowed to loot the place, they will collapse on their own sooner or later!"

Dong Zhuo was very depressed when he heard this, when he could make great achievements in this way, he turned his eyes and thought of an idea, he smiled and said:
"Wen You, if I write a letter to contact the rebels, with emotion, reason, and righteousness, do you think there is a possibility..."

"There is absolutely no such possibility..." Li Ru said:
"Minggong, if you contact the rebels now, there will be two disadvantages. One is that the rebels will despise you, and the other is that the court will be suspicious of you. Now, as a Han general, Minggong should try his best to resist the rebels. In this way, the rebels will also respect your bravery, and the court will also see your efforts!"

Now Dong Zhuo is still very persuasive, holding Li Ru's hand again, he said sincerely:

"Thank you Wenyou for reminding me, otherwise I will make a big mistake, then follow what Huangfu Zhonglang said, we will fight hard this time and fight dumb!"

Li Ru was relieved when he heard this.
