Chapter 444 Xianbei Invasion
In Hedong, the Xiliang army retreated to Henan in an all-round way, except for keeping Zhang Ji to guard the Dayang area.

In the Luoyang area, the army withdrew one by one. The princes were frightened enough by the returning carbine of the Xiliang army, and they all sat quietly waiting for the Xiliang army to withdraw.

Sun Jian, the nominal governor of Yuzhou and the general who broke the captives, took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, took the lead in breaking through the Yique Pass, and quickly marched towards Luoyang. It was the spring of the second year of Chuping when Sun Jian broke through Luoyang.

After a year of struggle, Dong Zhuo finally gave up the burden of Luoyang. However, the Luoyang area has been burned down, ten rooms and ten rooms are empty, and there are no people for thousands of miles.

Sun Jian just won a dilapidated empty city, but he did get the Chuanguo Jade Seal, but he didn't know that it was deliberately left to him by Liu Bei, and he was afraid that he would not find someone who specially marked him and found the Chuanguo Jade Seal Everyone is Liu Bei's secret work.

Sun Jian got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and immediately prepared to leave Luoyang and return to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao got the news that Sun Jian had found Chuanguo Yuxi, and immediately appointed Zhou Ang as the new governor of Yuzhou, and Zhou Ang led his troops to attack Yangcheng.

Yuan's family had deep roots in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao won the favor of the gentry. The gentry from Yingchuan, Runan, and Chen came to see Zhou Ang one after another.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were originally filthy because of the establishment of Liu Yu as emperor. Now Yuan Shu was furious when he saw Yuan Shao occupying his own territory, and sent troops to help Sun Jian attack Yangcheng.

The most powerful pair of Yuans turned against each other, and the world changed instantly. The princes stood in line one after another. Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu formed an alliance, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai, Liu Biao, Han Fu and others formed an alliance. Both Yuans have won the art of war They made friends from afar and attacked close to each other, and they also wooed other princes one after another.

Liu Bei, the most powerful prince other than the Xiliang Army, was also on the list of the two. Yuan Shu relied on his good relationship with Liu Bei, and threatened the world: He will share the world with Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. He gets Henan, Gongsun Zan gets Hebei, and Liu Bei Gotta close.

Yuan Shao and others were terrified, so they sent people to Xianbei to contact the Xianbei cavalry to invade the border.

This is all a political situation, but in fact Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao in the name of not providing food and grass, and appointed his confidant Wang Gong as the prefect of Dongjun. Dispersed, the princes of Yanzhou became an empty shell.

However, the Yuzhou Department became the front line of the battlefield between the two Yuans. Sun Jian led his troops from Luoyang to return to Yangcheng. Gongsun Yue was instructed by Gongsun Zan to cross the river alone to support Sun Jian.

The two first defeated Zhou Ang outside Yangcheng, and Zhou Ang retreated in Yangcheng. Then Sun Jian sent troops to attack the city. Sun Jian personally attacked the city with arrows and stones. Zhai.

Gongsun Yue led Baima Yicong in pursuit and killed Zhou Ang in front of Yangzhai City. So far Yuzhou was under Yuan Shu's command. Yuan Shu held Nanyang and Yuzhou and became the largest Kwantung prince at that time.

The feudal princes of the Guandong dispersed in one day, killing each other, and the revival of the Han Dynasty became far away. Lu Zhi, who was already sick, became more and more bedridden, and died in Yuan Shao's army in March. Yuan Shao used his confidantes to help his coffin back. Zhuojun was buried.

The death of Lu Zhi means that the famous generals of the great Han Dynasty have faded away, and the famous generals in troubled times have shown their prowess.

After Lu Zhi died, Yuan Shao had no one around to check and balance Liu Bei, so Yuan Shao sent another envoy to the Xianbei Shanyu Court in Liucheng.

In the past few years, under the forbearance of the leader, Xianbei paid tribute to Liu Yu every year and obeyed Liu Yu's dispatch.

The years when the leader was the Xianbei Great Khan were the years when the Xianbei nobles were sinicized, and it was also the years when the chaotic Xianbei people were able to cultivate their health and rest.

Kuitou bowed his head to Liu Yu, made friends with Wuhuan, and integrated the three Xianbei tribes. Xianbei seemed to be a sleepy tiger.

The leader did not dare to neglect, and personally met Xu You.

The Central Plains is in chaos, and the one who has the most hope of unifying Hebei is Yuan Shao. The business travelers, spies, students, and Confucian scholars he has sent to Hebei in the past few years have all said the same thing.

What's more, after several years of recuperation, the Xianbei nobles complained more and more, and they all hoped to take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to invade the border, and then restore the glory of Tan Shihuai when he was sweating profusely.

Under the pressure of the militant nobles such as Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, the leader coveted the Central Plains again, and was worried that he had no excuse to send troops to the Central Plains. Now he has Yuan Shao's invitation.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and the leader immediately sent Murongdeng's tribes and Budugen, a master of Xianbei in the west, to prepare to attack Bingzhou.

Budugen summoned the western Xianbei to gather in the surrendered city. One month later, [-] Xianbei cavalry, led by Xiongnu, the former Youxian king of Xiongnu, invaded the frontier.

For a while, the three counties of Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Shuofang were in a hurry, and the documents for help flew to Jinyang, Taiyuan like snowflakes. Liu Bei in Jinyang immediately called the generals to discuss.

Hit, there is no doubt about it.

But how to place the rear?How can there be a lot of discussion?

Some people say that they want to lure the enemy to go deep. The so-called Xianbei is just money. is a commonly used method.

Some people said that they borrowed troops from Youzhou to attack the Xianbei cavalry with the Youzhou army, but some people objected immediately.

After arguing all day, not only did the quarrel fail to produce a result, but it made Liu Bei dizzy. At night, he only called Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Jian Yong to discuss.

Fighting is the same idea. Now it is spring plowing, and the spring plowing season must not be delayed, but the three counties in Yunzhong cannot be easily given up. The most important thing is the newly recovered Hedong County. If one is not handled properly, the Xiliang army can return to Hedong at any time Come.

"Fight, I have no objection, but the food and grass are only enough for an army of [-] to feed for three months."

Jian Yong expressed his opinion that although the transferred people have settled down, one year's spring plowing has been delayed, and many lands have been barren and there is no time to reclaim them. Therefore, the grain harvested in autumn last year is not enough for this year's food. Being able to get through this year, the Xiongnu's cattle and sheep have been greatly reduced this year. Now that the Hu people have invaded the pass, there is no extravagant hope for the Hu people's cattle and sheep.

"It's only enough to feed 3 people for three months. How serious is the food shortage?"

Liu Bei was startled. Since the appearance of ten stone grains, Liu Bei has paid little attention to food issues. He never thought that he would worry about food one day.

Jian Yong remained silent, and Xun Yu also nodded: "I'm afraid it's more serious. This doesn't even include the newly recovered Hedong and Shang counties. There are a lot of refugees in the two counties due to the war. The master still needs to raise food and grass to help them, especially the more than [-] Baibo. Thieves, if you don’t handle it carefully, it will lead to a mutiny, and this year’s Bingzhou will starve to death.”

"Even if there is starvation everywhere, Xianbei will have to fight. According to detailed reports, the Western Xianbei is just a test by the leader. If Budugen wins the first battle, the leader will lead three Xianbeis to invade the entire northern Xinjiang area. Therefore, this battle Not only do you have to fight, you have to win."

Xi Zhicai said with a firm face that he was more explaining Liu Bei's wishes. Xianbei was not that Liu Bei wanted to fight but had to fight. The key was to win a big victory. If the city and Bingzhou fall together, there will be no place for Liu Bei in the world. This battle is related to the survival of the Lucheng regime.
