Chapter 394 Ten Years (Four)

This seems to be a warm winter...

Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there was no so-called global warming. People respected heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and ancestors, and were not as unscrupulous as later generations, and had no magnanimity. They were not doing whatever they wanted.

However, this winter is indeed not too cold.

There were only two snowfalls in the Sanfu Guanzhong. It looked very big, but in fact there was no heavy snowfall.

In Jingzhao Luoyang, the snow is even smaller than that in Guanzhong, but after the beginning of winter, a light snow fell.

The temperature is not very cold, and you don’t need to wear the double cloak to resist the cold. As for ordinary people, although they may not have the conditions for wealthy families, they can still survive. In the words of Luoyang people: it is better than last year.

However, the confidence to speak is no longer as sufficient as that of Guanghe Zhongping.

After countless hardships, the former eastern capital Luoyang City had long lost the prosperity and glory of the past. In fact, although Luoyang was under Cao Cao's rule, due to the power of Yuan Shao and others, Cao Cao was not very concerned about Luoyang.

Perhaps in Cao Cao's heart, Luoyang was finally filled with too deep Han Dynasty marks, and there was no benefit in repairing them.

This is like the nature of Emperor Guangwu’s destruction of Wang Mang and establishing his capital in Luoyang.

While the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to emphasize the status of Luoyang, they also downplayed the status of Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, no emperor would want to have other dynasties in his own dynasty.

Even the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty...

Although Emperor Guangwu claimed to be a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, who can tell it clearly if there are too many people in the world named Liu?

Liu Xiu must have downplayed the great achievements of Emperor Gaozu.

Luoyang was very devastated, but the imperial capital was the capital for 200 years. After Xiahou Yuan stationed his troops in Luoyang, Cao Cao began the restoration project of Luoyang. Although it was just a little bit, it seemed to see hope again in Luoyang people.

The sun is shining!

It looks a bit cold, but it's still quite comfortable.

At least you can see the sun everywhere, making people feel very bright. The renovated horse-faced city wall is thick blue-gray. There are mottled spots on it, and the traces of the war in the past seem to have been erased and look completely refreshed.

There are flags everywhere on the top of the city.

The flag was fluttering, revealing an unparalleled solemn atmosphere.

The flying dragon flag, the flying phoenix flag, the fire master flag... the wind blows the big flag, the divine beast faintly, and a solemn aura hits the face.

The already abandoned Beidaying, Xidaying and Southeast Daying are now re-opened.

One by one, the flags stand high in the camp. Different colors also represent different princes. There are seven colors, just like seven stars surrounding them. People shout and horses are neighing, and the weapons are so cold that they add a little more coldness to this solemn season.

Gongsun Du, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao...

Liu Zhang of Xichuan was unable to appear in Luoyang City because of the long journey. However, he still sent his own representative, his brother Liu Mao, to lead 5,000 Xichuan troops out of Sichuan to respond to Cao Cao's alliance.

Is Cao Cao's influence so great?

Not...

This time, Cao Cao used the command of Emperor Han to conquer the heavens. If all the princes did not arrive, he would face the attacks of other princes. Therefore, even if Liu Zhang was far away in Xichuan, he would not dare to neglect. After all, in Hanzhong, he still had a huge enemy.

At this time, all the princes gathered in the Jiade Hall.

Yuan Shao sent his youngest son Yuan Shang as the representative, and raised an army from Hanoi and led an army of 150,000. Among the seven princes, Yuan Shao had the most troops. To tell me, why Yuan Shao had such great enthusiasm? The reason was very simple. Cao Cao wrote a letter and gave Yuan Shao the news that Panshe found. In fact, there was only one content.

When Yuan Xi was killed, Dong Qi was in Jizhou!

Do you need to say anything more?

Yuan Shao is not a fool. Even if he is a fool, his subordinate Ju Su Tian Feng is not a fool, so how could he not see it?

You know, Yuan Xi brought more than a thousand troops and generals followed him at that time.

Han Qiong once led people to examine the battlefield. A battle took less than a stick of incense from the beginning to the end. Although Dong Qiong ordered people to clean up the battlefield at that time, some traces could not be erased. Han Qiong's return to Yuan Shao was: the person who attacked the second prince was definitely not ordinary bandits, but well-equipped and well-trained regular soldiers.

Yuan Shao suspected that Dong Qi was on the head at that time!

But he also knew that Dong Qi, who had returned to Hedong, was like a tiger returning to the mountain. With his methods, Yuan Shao would be difficult to deal with. He could only endure this tone. Now that Cao Cao's alliance is the opportunity for Yuan Shao to avenge his second son.

It’s not that Yuan Shao values ​​Yuan Xi so much!

It should be said that this face must be earned back. The son was in his own territory and was shot with an arrow like a hornet's nest. It also forced Yuan Shao's plan to annex the Zhen family in Zhongshan to fail, and this hatred even surpassed Yuan Xi's death.

Yuan Shao invested in this time of sending troops.

He also wanted Yuan Shang to make some achievements, so he not only sent 150,000 troops, but also assigned two strategists to Yuan Shang, Ju Su Xu You. In addition, there were more than a dozen generals including Jiang Yiqu, Zhu Ling and Zhou Ang, Wen Chou Wangmen and more.

Therefore, Yuan Shang has the biggest style and is quite like a young and crazy person.

Cao Cao also sent 100,000 troops this time, with Xiahou Yuan Taishi Ci as the commander general, Yu Jin as the deputy general, and Hou Cheng and Song Xian and other war generals, so their strength should not be underestimated. In contrast, the troops of the other princes seemed a little weak...

Liu Bei took charge of the command personally, and besides a young scholar, he also brought a young general.

The young general was named Gao Chong, whose courtesy name was Shaoxian, and was from Qu'a, Yangzhou. It was originally the army of Liu Yao's general Zhang Ying. After Liyang was defeated, Gao Chong held Liu Yao's youngest son and fought out of the chaos and defected to Yan Baihu, Jiujiang.

Gao Chong and Yan Baihu had a charisma, so they also knew Gao Chong's abilities.

This man was a white horse and silver spear, and was a top-notch hero in Liu Yao's army. Unfortunately, Zhang Ying was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and suppressed Gao Chong's development. Later, in a war, Gao Chong rescued Liu Yao in the chaos army, which was considered to be Liu Yao's eyes. Since then, Gao Chong was Liu Yao's personal guard. Although he was valued, he could not use it.

Yan Baihu recommended Gao Chong to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was worried about the lack of military generals around him, was extremely excited after he got Gao Feng.

Despite the opposition of Guan Yu and others, he kept Gao Chong by his side. In fact, Gao Chong did not disappoint his high expectations.

This time, Liu Bei led only 30,000 troops, with Guanning Guanping as the vanguard and Liu Quan as the rear army, and he was in charge of the central army himself.

Guan Ning Guanping was Guan Yu's adopted son and his martial arts skills are not bad.

The young scholar who followed Liu Bei was Sima Lang's younger brother, Sima Yi, known as the Tomb Tiger in the Romance.

Sima Yi defected to Liu Bei at the beginning of the year, and was very favored by Liu Bei.

So I took it with me and claimed that I had Sima Yi in literature and high favors in martial arts, which is enough!

In this alliance, Liu Bei ranked fifth. He is not very strong in terms of strength, but he cannot be underestimated by others.

Because Liu Biao and Sun Ce lived in Jiangnan, they mostly used infantry. They each led 20,000 people to participate in the alliance. Speaking of which, the relationship between the two was not harmonious, because there were many conflicts in the rule of Jiangdong. Sun Ce did not come, but only sent Sun Quan as a representative, but asked Zhou Yu to come forward to assist Sun Quan.

Liu Biao personally led the troops, and beside him was a young scholar.

The young man was nearly eight feet tall and had a very beautiful appearance. He was wearing a moon-white crane cloak and stood solemnly behind Liu Biao. Judging from his age, he looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. He gently waved a folding fan in his hand, which was graceful and graceful, describing him as particularly elegant.

The seven princes gathered a large army of 400,000 to dispatch troops in Jingzhao.

Cao Cao was the master and personally came forward to greet everyone. After glanced at the people in the hall, he couldn't help but sigh.

In this hall, there is youthfulness.

In addition to people like me, half of the young people were even younger than the other under Sun Ce.

"All the masters are heroes of the times. Now they gather together, and what they do is Dong Xiping from Guanzhong."

Cao Cao's scene words still say: "Dong Qi's occupation of Guanzhong has become a major concern for our Han Dynasty. If it cannot be eradicated as soon as possible and allowed to develop, it will definitely bring many troubles to the Han Dynasty. Today's Dong Qi is like the powerful Qin Dynasty yesterday. We should join forces to abandon the past grievances and suppress the traitors together, and have restored the Han Dynasty."

In fact, everyone here knows it!

The so-called Han Dynasty no longer exists, and now it is just an empty shell.

But who can tell it?

In this hall, there are at least three people representing the bloodline of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Liu Bei's name is not good.

"What the Prime Minister said is extremely true!"

Everyone said in unison. But how much sincerity is in the words is naturally another matter.

Cao Cao was also very clear that it was impossible to work together for these people. Today, everyone is sitting here, just to put it bluntly, for the word profit. The world is prosperous and the world is prosperous and the world is prosperous and the world is prosperous and the ancients are truly not bullying me!

Gongsun Kang, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, was the son of Gongsun Du. He was twenty-nine years old and is now appointed as the prefect of Lelang.

Although Gongsun Kang was young, he was quite capable. At the beginning of the year, when Gongsun Du and Fan Chou were anxious, it was Gongsun Kang who came up with an idea to marry Ma Han and attack Fan Chou together, which led to Fan Chou's defeat and commit suicide in Lelang.

As for the people who got married, they were Mahan's princess and Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang said: "What the Prime Minister said is that my father was not able to come because he was ill. However, before I set off, my father said that once the Prime Minister used his troops, he would cooperate in Youzhou and would definitely restrain the beggar army and could not move at all."

Cao Cao also understood that this was the limit that Gongsun Du could achieve now.

Not long after he was in Youzhou, and Youzhou was a bitter and cold place. In the past ten years, wars have continued. In addition, he fought with Fan Chou again. Although he had suffered from future troubles, his vitality was severely damaged, which was an important moment that needed to recuperate.

This time, 20,000 troops were already the limit of Gongsun Du.

Moreover, being able to hold off the beggars is a great thing for Cao Cao...

Compared to Yuan Shang, who was carrying 150,000 troops everywhere, the sincerity of Gongsun Du undoubtedly made Cao Cao happier. After hearing Gongsun Kang say this, Yuan Shang's thin lips drew an arc and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, he did not look down on Gongsun Kang.

Among the seven princes, Gongsun Kang's background is probably the lowest.

Even Liu Bei is now known as a county horse and a national surname. Although he had some flaws in his early years, he was also a thing of the past. Sun Ce and Cao Cao were from a family of officials, of course, Sun Ce's foundation was a little weaker than that. As for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, a serious Han family, the uncle of the Han emperor in the dynasty, and the Yuan family was even more aristocratic.

If it weren't for Jizhou, Yuan Shang wouldn't even want to live in the same hall with Gongsun Kang.

However, Gongsun Kang looked very generous with Yuan Shang's contempt. After saying that, he smiled at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang said: "But I wonder what benefits will we do after the capture of Guanzhong this time?"
