Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 197 The Central Plains Situation 1
Zhang Yan is already preparing to send troops. In order to ensure absolute safety, Zhang Yan decided to lead half of the troops to fight at most. In any case, the safety of the camp is the most important thing. Montenegro is now Zhang Yan's foundation. leave.

In the end, Zhang Yan ordered [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. Since the agreed time for dispatching troops had not yet arrived, Zhang Yan had to intensify the training of soldiers in Montenegro to prepare for the siege of the city. Moreover, a lot of siege equipment It must be built now, otherwise, if there are not enough siege equipment by then, the lives of the soldiers will be wasted in vain.

In order to show his sincerity, Yuan Shao tried his best to meet Zhang Yan's request. He secretly provided Zhang Yan with a horse of equipment. As for food, Yuan Shao did not provide much. After all, Yuan Shao himself did not read it. You can grab it.

At the same time, in order to increase Zhang Yan's chances of attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold, and also to increase the pressure on Han Fu and increase his chances of leading the army to support Han Fu as soon as possible, Yuan Shao sent people to send a lot of siege equipment. All of a sudden, Zhang Yan was well prepared.

However, there was one thing that Zhang Yan did not expect was that Yuan Shao actually contacted Li Damu, Lei Gong, Huang Long and some other commanders. Yuan Shao encouraged them to attack the towns near Youzhou first. If you capture a few towns, you will definitely gain a lot.

These people couldn't help being tempted. Under Yuan Shao's repeated instigation, they also united 6 people and prepared to march to Youzhou. However, due to the lack of food on their side, they felt that it might not be a good idea to leave the rest of the old and weak in the base camp. thing.

Moreover, if a few towns are captured at that time, there will definitely be a lot of food, and someone will need to bring it back. Therefore, after the leaders discussed with each other, they decided to bring all the old and weak in the village together. go.

In the end, it was because of a decision discussed by these leaders that they almost killed Yuan Shao.

After these Qu Shuai united all the people, there were nearly 15 people, of which the elderly and weak women and children accounted for most of them. This group of people can be said to be dragging their families and their families. In fact, they want to have a full meal, but, This is 10,000+ people, definitely able to eat the towns near Qiongyouzhou.

Yuan Shao still doesn't know about this matter. After receiving the letters from these Qu Shuai, he thought that these people followed his own plan. At this time, Yuan Shao was still happily thinking about his dream of becoming the Lord of Jizhou.

On Zhang Yan's side, after he had prepared all the supplies, he was ready to send troops, but when he heard that Lei Gong and the others were marching to Youzhou with so many troops, Zhang Yan himself was almost not scared.

What's even worse is that Lei Gong and Huang Long claimed to have an army of 40 in order to increase their momentum. Now, Zhang Yan knew that the good days of the Black Mountain Army were coming to an end, and Zhang Yan never expected that these people would dare to provoke Gongsun Zan. Zhou is the emperor's territory, Zhang Yan really doubts whether this group of people has any brains.

Many generals persuaded Zhang Yan to stop them back, Zhang Yan sneered and said: "Stop, how to stop, my army is only more than 6, and they all add up to [-] to [-] people, plus they have been fighting all the time. If you don't accept me, if I go here, I will definitely fight.

There is no other way now, they are determined to attack Youzhou, it is because they think their lives are too long, we attack Jizhou as soon as possible, we can get as much food as possible, it is best to withdraw before they are defeated, this is Once, he was really tricked by Yuan Shao. "

Although Zhang Yan is scolding Yuan Shao, he is still determined to attack Jizhou. There is no way, there is not enough food and grass in Montenegro. If he doesn't think of a way, many people will starve to death this winter. Zhang Yan The army must be dispatched.

While Zhang Yan was rectifying the army, Yuan Shao, the planner of the whole incident, was of course not idle. He is now waiting for someone from Jizhou to invite him to fight the enemy together in Jizhou. However, in order to increase his chances, Yuan Shao now I am secretly contacting some aristocratic families in Jizhou.

The north is so busy, and other places are not peaceful.

In Chang'an, since the Allied forces withdrew, Dong Zhuo felt relieved all of a sudden. At this time, he can be said to be proud of living a life like a king of heaven. In order to accumulate wealth for his family, Dong Zhuo ordered to build his own family on the outskirts of the city. castle.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo did not forget to scrape the people's fat and people's ointment to enrich his treasury. Since Gongsun Xu sent a lot of gold, silver and jewels during the last retreat, Dong Zhuo was very unwilling. After he got angry, he wanted to The idea came from the common people in Chang'an.

After a period of time like this, Dong Zhuo still felt that it was not enough. In order to accumulate huge wealth for himself, Dong Zhuo destroyed a large number of five baht coins in circulation, and ordered all the bronze men, bronze bells and bronze horses to be broken and recast into small coins.

The shoddy small money is not only lighter than the five baht money, but also has no coat of arms, and the edge of the money has no outline, so it is not resistant to wear and tear.The circulation of small money directly led to severe inflation: the currency depreciated and prices soared.

Now, in the entire Chang'an area, it costs tens of thousands of dollars to buy a stone valley.The common people are miserable and their lives are in extreme pain.Dong Zhuo, however, used the money he collected to spend all day singing and dancing, seeking pleasure, and living a licentious life.

This time, the people of Chang'an were suffering. Those Xiliang soldiers who were like hungry wolves snatched something valuable when they saw it, and even called it to celebrate the prime minister's birthday. Quite a lot.

The Xiliang army is now a gang of robbers. The daily task of most soldiers is to enrich their own pockets in different ways. By the way, they also rob every family with beautiful women, and send them back in a few days. A mutilated, naked body that had been tortured.

As Dong Zhuo's military adviser, Li Ru has been in a hurry these days. He has been admonishing Dong Zhuo not to waste money and money. What he needs to do now is to rectify military discipline and organize refugees to develop production. I can manage this, every time I just deal with Li Ru casually, and then go to have fun by myself.

Most of the soldiers in the barracks have bad military discipline, but there are also some special ones.

Since Lv Bu was transferred back by Dong Zhuo, he has been staying at home peacefully. He would go to the barracks every day as a routine. The [-] soldiers who belonged to Lv Bu's side rarely robbed the people, especially Lv Bu's old subordinates.

Zhang Liao and the others trained soldiers in the army every day. They could only turn a deaf ear to what happened in Chang'an City. The people above didn't care.

As for Lu Bu, the reason why he didn't do these bad things was firstly because he disdained him, and secondly, because he wanted to spend more time with his family.

The last time Gongsun Xu sent Yan Liang and the others to send Lu Bu's family over, Lu Bu was overjoyed and grateful to Gongsun Xu in his heart. If Gongsun Xu kept detaining Lu Bu's family, then Lu Bu would just stare blankly.

Lv Bu still has only his wife, Yan Shi, and his eldest daughter, Lu Qiling, is 11 years old. When Ding Yuan sent troops to attack Dong Zhuo at the age of Lv Bu, Yan gave birth to another son for Lv Bu. However, before this, Lv Bu had never seen him. own son.

There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Lu Bu also attaches great importance to the inheritance of family incense. If he does not have a son, Lu Bu will regret it for life.

At the beginning, when the Yan family sent someone to write to Lv Bu saying that he had given birth to a boy, Lv Bu was very excited, but at that time Lv Bu was in the army and was preparing to fight Dong Zhuo, so he couldn't take care of his hometown.

Then, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan again, and after annexing Ding Yuan's trilogy, he was loyal to Dong Zhuo, so Lu Bu had no chance to return to Bingzhou.

At that time, Lu Bu was also very depressed. He really hoped to take over his family, but that was already impossible. Then, something happened that made Lu Bu heartbroken. Yan wrote again to say that the child was born. I just know how to cry, and many doctors can't cure it.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid the child will be lost. At that time, Lu Bu wanted to hurry back to Bingzhou, but at that time, Dong Zhuo watched him so hard that he couldn't get out of Luoyang at all.

Lu Bu always felt that this was God's punishment for him. Ding Yuan died in front of him. Although he didn't kill him himself, the difference was not too far. Anyway, Ding Yuan was his adoptive father and an elder. But, just Such an only elder died in front of him.

At that time, Lu Bu was quite depressed. Since then, Lu Bu has never received any letters from his family, because Bingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Xu, and Lu Bu's family is also under the management of Gongsun Xu.

These few years have passed, and Lu Bu thought his son was dead long ago. However, when he received his family, Lu Bu found that his son is now alive and kicking, and he is very energetic, and he can't tell that he is born weak.

Later, Yan told him that it turned out that after Gongsun Xu took care of them and learned that the child was sick, he immediately invited two genius doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, from Liaodong to treat him. Picking precious medicinal materials in Changbai Mountain area.

After Lu Bu's son was cured by Zhang Zhongjing, Gongsun Xu was afraid that the child's disease would recur, so after discussing with Hua Tuo, he left Hua Tuo to continue to treat him. In the first few months, the child soaked in the medicine tank every day. Here, the precious medicinal materials used every day can be calculated in tens of thousands of gold. Gongsun Xu has found all the medicinal materials that cannot be found in other areas, such as the thousand-year-old ginseng, the hundreds-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and the grassland tribe’s Cordyceps sinensis.

In the end, not only was the child rescued, but because he was often soaked in this special potion, Lu Bu's son can now be said to have a body of copper skin and iron bones among children of the same age.

After learning the whole story, Lu Bu's gratitude to Gongsun Xu cannot be described in words. If Gongsun Xu hadn't put so much effort into treating Lu Bu's son, the child would have died a long time ago.

Regarding Gongsun Xu's kindness, Lu Bu kept it in his heart, and he didn't express too much. After all, both sides are still hostile forces, and it's hard for Lu Bu to express anything. In short, he kept everything in his heart.

Because this son was not easy to come by, Lu Bu cherished the time with his family even more. Now, most of the affairs in the army were handed over to his generals. Without Dong Zhuo's order, Lu Bu would never go out.
