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

Chapter 321
Only ten days later, [-] grain and grass had been transported to Pingyang in the east of the river, and Li Yao officially led the army to set off.

I still brought the Chinese army by myself, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and the four each led troops to accompany them. The actual number of soldiers in battle was less than 4, but they were still called [-] troops.

To be honest, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Duan Yan, Xu Rong, and Bei Gongli are outside. Now they can't gather [-] cavalry, but they are not the main force in the battle.

Leading an army of [-] to set off, this is only for the real main force of the battle, to attract the attention of the Huns, so that they can stab them in the back.

Hedong, this place is really good. If you go further north to attack the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, if you take a step back, you can beware of those Kwantung princes.

The [-] army headed east all the way, first arrived at Huayin, then crossed the river at Taolin Ferry, and then arrived at Anyi.

Yang Ding, Yang Xiu, and the two greeted each other in person, and Li Yao also gave them face, so they rested in Anyi for a day. At the same time, accompanied by the two of them, he began to inspect the inside and outside of Anyi.

The city is well-organized, and there are acres of fields outside the city. Although most of the people are dressed in shabby and tattered clothes, there is still some anger on their faces, not just numbness.

It shows that the two of them did a good job, those Baibo captives were also successfully converted back to civilians.

It's really not easy in Hedong. Baibo, the Huns, came back and forth to plunder the people, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si... are not great talents in governing the world, which made the people in Hedong miserable.

Although Yang Xiu is young, he is indeed very capable, and because of his noble background, not only Yang Ding gave him face, but also the officials of all counties and the rich families in various places should give him face.

Only in one year can the local problems in Hedong be basically solved inside and out.

So looking at Yang Ding, Yang Xiu, Li Yao did not hesitate to make a promise:

"Hedong is peaceful now, and the Baibo rebels have not recovered. General Yang Ding has made meritorious service. After destroying the Xiongnu this time, I will definitely ask you to be named and officially promoted to the post of general!"

Then he said to Yang Xiu:

"Dezu is young, he can govern a county today, a state tomorrow, and the world the day after tomorrow. The talent of a prime minister can never be wrong!"

Yang Ding and Yang Xiu are different. For Yang Ding, you should give some practical promises. For Yang Xiu, it's just painting cakes. The more fragrant and round the painting, the more desperate he is.

Although Yang Ding is a hero in Liangzhou, his background is not high. To be a general is his greatest wish at present, so when he heard this, he said excitedly:
"Thank you General!"

Yang Xiu was born noble, his heart is higher than the sky, his ambition is lofty, and he is young, at the time when he is the most arrogant. Facing Li Yao's praise, he agrees with him from the bottom of his heart. That's right, I should be the prime minister, so he said:

"The general will give me a county, and I will rule the county. The general will give me a state, and I will rule the state. If the general can trust the world, I will be able to rule the world!"

Arrogant and crazy, but on the other hand, he also recognized Li Yao and believed that Li Yao could let him rule the world.

Li Yao chuckled, I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously, after all, he often tells a lot of lies.

Born in the world, how can there be so many truths to speak out.

Continue to patrol, but in the end, instead of accepting Yang Ding, Yang Xiu invited him into the city, but rested in the barracks outside the city for one night.

The next day, he led the army to continue northward and arrived in Pingyang, where he stationed troops in Hedong.

Of course, they didn't rush into Bingzhou rashly. They only have [-] cavalry. If they encounter the Huns, it will be difficult to wipe them out, so they still have to wait now.

But when they stationed troops in Hedong, Zhang Yang of Hanoi County, which is adjacent to Hedong, was shocked. When the princes called for Dong, Zhang Yang had some collusion with Yuan Shao.

Because Hanoi and Henan are the buffer places between the Guanzhong court and the Guandong princes, Zhang Yang can serve as the prefect safely. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, he will definitely not be able to protect himself.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yang had no choice but to go both ways. While sending envoys to Guanzhong to ask for instructions, he also sent envoys to Guandong for help.

All of a sudden, Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou were extremely vigilant, and each gathered their troops to be on guard. Now that Li Yao has dominated the imperial court and owns Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Bingzhou, he has completely surpassed Dong Zhuo and has become a first-class force. Any small move by him will make people vigilant.

They intensified their efforts to inquire, and finally got the news that Li Yao was going to fight the Xiongnu.

On the one hand, they were relieved at first. Now that any of the princes lost to the Guanzhong court, they were naturally happy that Li Yao didn't fight them; on the other hand, they were all surprised. Although they didn't know why Li Yao wanted to fight the Huns, Li Yao was caught in a war with the Huns, and it was impossible for him to deal with them for a long time.

By coincidence, they all choose to sit back and watch the success or failure. Of course, it is also difficult for them to intervene.

Either re-establish the Kwantung Allied Forces, or unify Hebei, or unify the Central Plains, otherwise who can deal with the Guanzhong court one-on-one.

In Bingzhou, no matter how slow the Xiongnu was, they had already noticed that it was unusual. The tribes and the tribes were usually very scattered, resulting in slow transmission of news, but this time it was a war.

Among them, Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan brothers were the first to hear the news, and then felt overwhelmed.

Last year, they were driven out of Hedong by Xu Rong in one breath, so they had to flee back to Bingzhou in embarrassment, but Xu Rong came after them again. They didn't dare to go to Taiyuan, and they couldn't go to Hedong.

They can only wander in the Xihe River. Now the Han Dynasty wants to attack them. It’s really not right every day, and the land is not working. The key is such a terrain. If you want to run, you can only go outside the Great Wall, but there are Xianbei outside the Great Wall.

Yuvro said painfully:

"If it doesn't work, then we can only go south and ask for surrender. Our lord, Qiang Qu Shanyu, was hated by his tribe because he conscripted a large number of tribesmen to fight for the Han Dynasty. He died tragically at the hands of his tribe. Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu who fought in the war are dead. Maybe the court will accept us!"

But his brother, Hu Chuquan disagreed and said:
"Brother, if they are willing to accept us, as long as the emperor of the Han Dynasty orders you, you can be named Shanyu and let you go back to lead the tribe, but the court has never looked for us!"

Yu Fuluo said helplessly:

"Then what do you say?"

There was a cunning light in Hu Chuquan's eyes:

"Brother, if the tribe wants us to recognize us again, then we must become the heroes who saved the tribe. Let's go back, convince the chiefs, and defeat this Han army. The Han Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty in the past. Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Tao Qian...these people are fighting back and forth. Dong Zhuo died in the court, and those who can call the shots are dolls. How do you know the majesty of our Huns? Defeat them and become the hero who saved the tribe. Brother, you will be the new Shanyu, I You can also be a virtuous king, and we can go home, and our sons and daughters can go home too!"

After listening to Yu Fuluo, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and finally ambition prevailed...
