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

Chapter 212
Retreating into Guanzhong can indeed temporarily avoid the edge. After all, it is surrounded by mountains and mountains on all sides. As long as a few important positions are blocked, it can avoid enemies from both sides.

Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, Xu Rong, the four of them disappointed Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo turned to Dong Yue and Duan Yan.

Dong Yue stationed troops in Mianchi, and Duan Yao stationed troops in Huayin, one after the other blocked the road into the pass.

The remaining Zhonglang generals and school lieutenants also made corresponding arrangements, either stationing troops in the camp near Chang'an, or stationing troops in the surrounding cities of Chang'an.

Lantian Camp!

Li Yao is no stranger to Lantian. In the battle in Lantian Valley, he led people to fight.

Now that the troops were withdrawn and returned to Guanzhong, he was assigned to garrison here. Li Yao had no objection, and immediately set up camp after bringing people over. It was winter at this time, and the camping must not be sloppy, otherwise people might freeze to death at night.

Goo!Goo!Goo!
Around the big camps that have not yet formed, there is a bonfire on each side, with a big cauldron on the fire, and water is boiled in the cauldron.

The water boiled, bubbling and bubbling.

Logging, moving wood, and building camps, if you are thirsty or tired during the process, you can come here to take a rest, drink a sip of hot water, and then go to work.

After all, it's cold and cold, so we have to think about soldiers and civilian husbands. Li Yao is wearing a cloak, and he leads people here and there to inspect.

If he is assigned to Lantian, then he will build a base in Lantian, farm the fields, train troops, and when the time is right, he will cooperate with the inside and outside to seize power with arms.

While walking, Li Yao was thinking:

"On the way back to Guanzhong, there are many exiles, corpses can be seen everywhere, lack of clothes, and food. When this winter is over, I don't know how much will be left..."

"We must make preparations as soon as possible. When the camp is built, we will immediately organize soldiers to reclaim the land. At the same time, we will use food to attract the refugees, organize them into individual refugee camps, and use labor in exchange for food..."

"Cultivate the land first in winter, then cultivate it in spring, and wait until summer, even if you dig grass roots and eat tree bark, as long as you can persist for a few months and the grain is mature, no matter how much or how little you harvest, you can basically get through the difficulties..."

"The training of tens of thousands of infantry battalions may make others vigilant, but the training of tens of thousands of refugee battalions should also be able to deceive people's eyes and ears. In the future, they will be armed with long spears and strong crossbows. The guns are cheap to build, and the strong crossbows are easy to use and can quickly form combat power."

Li Yao was planning how to strengthen himself and establish a foundation, while Dong Zhuo was also consolidating his position in Chang'an.

Chang'an used to be the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, but the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang. It has been more than a hundred years, and there are various powerful clans and forces in Chang'an City.

For the emperor who came from Luoyang to beg for food, as well as the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Xiliang Army, they did not like to see them. After all, they would take away a lot of their benefits.

No, the emperor is welcome, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and Dong Zhuo are really not welcome.

They wanted to rely on the emperor to gain more political status, but Dong Zhuo and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not want to give them more political status.

So a massacre began. Although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who came from Luoyang this time did not expressly support it, they also did not oppose it.

These cold-blooded politicians, for the sake of power and status, can use any means at all. They use Dong Zhuo as a knife, acquiesce in Dong Zhuo's massacre of the Chang'an clan, and at the same time make Dong Zhuo bear all the infamy.

At this time, Dong Zhuo didn't care much about reputation, he massacred those big clans, killed the males, snatched away the female relatives, as well as all the gold and silver treasures, food and cloth...

They were piled up in one's own mansion, house, and yard, all piled up into hills, which were continuously accumulated by these Chang'an clans through various means in more than 100 years.

Now all are cheap to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's eyes are shining brightly, even though he is a noble from Liangzhou, he has never seen so many gold and silver treasures, beautiful women, silk and satin.

Even if he was in the Luoyang Palace, he had never seen so many good things. After all, the Luoyang Palace had been ransacked, and the remaining wealth was very little.

Seeing this now, Dong Zhuo even had a thought in his heart:
"Conquering the world is so troublesome, why not just build a castle in Guanzhong, a palace, and use these gold and silver treasures, beautiful women, and silk to create a place that is more luxurious than a palace, so that I can enjoy myself wantonly. I am also so old, I don't know how long I can live, shouldn't I enjoy it!"

This thought popped up, but he couldn't let it go. Dong Zhuo was already thinking about which place to choose.

After talking about Guanzhong, let’s talk about Kanto!
Since Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang, the Kwantung princes were all relieved, and at the same time became arrogant. They beat Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army away.

There is no one in charge of the jujube coalition, and the ambitions of all the princes are soaring, and finally they fight each other.

The first to die was Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, who was killed by his superior Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, and the princes along the way were killed.

In Hanoi, Yuan Shao's ambitions also surged, and Cao Cao asked him to take advantage of the victory to pursue and enter Guanzhong to regain the emperor.

Speaking of Cao Cao, it was too difficult at the beginning of his business. After he was defeated by Xu Rong, he went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, recruited [-] soldiers, and brought people back.

On the way, these soldiers mutinied collectively. After a battalion scream and a scuffle, there were only more than 500 people left.

So Cao Cao ran back to his hometown in desperation, and recruited more than 1000 people in Peiguo, and then came again to ask for Dong.

That's why, no matter what you want to do, the soldiers from your hometown are the foundation. Cao Cao went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, and then brought them to the Central Plains.

Instead of going to Suanzao, he came to Hanoi to join Yuan Shao and work under him.

At this time Yuan Shao didn't intend to chase Guanzhong, he was also frightened by the Xiliang army, these guys were brave and good at fighting, a thousand cavalry charged, and tens of thousands of infantry were unstoppable.

Guo Tai's Baibo army has more than [-] men, women and children, and Yufuluo's Xiongnu soldiers also have more than [-] cavalry, who are good at riding and shooting.

Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang also had [-] troops. They fought for several months. They were beaten passively in the early stage, and they were driven back later.

Now Yuan Shao also has other thoughts, he does not recognize Liu Xie as emperor, he wants to support Liu Yu as emperor, and then rely on this emperor to completely integrate the land of Kanto.

With fame and righteousness, it will be a breeze to gather an army of millions to enter Guanzhong and eliminate Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao couldn't do it alone, so he wrote a letter to Yuan Shu. Their brothers represent the entire Yuan family, four generations and three princes, with the surname Zhong in the world.

But now Yuan Shu didn't intend to talk to Yuan Shao, he knew that Sun Jian had found Chuan Guo Yuxi, but he didn't tell him, but planned to return to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shu is already thinking of a way, how to take away the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and then establish a country and proclaim himself emperor.

In short, as soon as Dong Zhuo retreats, the Kanto will be full of demons dancing wildly. This alliance will collapse without a fight!
