While Li Xiang was marching steadily, the outside world was not peaceful at all.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Kwantung Allied Forces were pressing down on the border, and they were forced to defend the Hulao Pass. During this period, in addition to various attempts to alienate the allied forces of the princes, Li Ru also made other small moves in order to make the allied forces of the princes disorganize themselves.
Continuously.
You must know that the end of the Han Dynasty in this era is not the same as the end of the Han Dynasty. In addition to the Han Dynasty and the various princes who still obey the Han Dynasty on the surface, there are many anti-Han forces. Moreover, these anti-Han forces have developed
They are getting stronger and more rampant all the way, otherwise the big man would not be able to do anything against these forces in the past few years.
As Dong Zhuo's think tank, Li Ru would naturally not turn a blind eye to these forces. In fact, Li Ru not only thought of these anti-Han forces in time, but also had plans to use these ordinary forces to do something.
Therefore, after discussing with Dong Zhuo and other think tanks under Dong Zhuo's command, it was also put on the agenda to visit these anti-Han forces. The idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend has always existed at any time, but it may be called different times.
It's just different. As for Dong Zhuo, in order to deal with the rebels like the Kwantung Allied Forces, he naturally didn't mind wooing these anti-Han forces.
And these forces themselves are hostile to the princes and forces of the Han Dynasty, so naturally they don't mind causing some trouble to those princes, not to mention that now is indeed a rare and good opportunity to take action against those princes.
Of course, although Li Ru and the others achieved their goal on the whole, the leaders of the resistance forces were also elite and had their own ideas in their hearts. Even if Dong Zhuo gave each of them a valuable gift, they would not completely
Do exactly what Dong Zhuo said.
The anti-Han force closest to Dong Zhuo was the Xiang clan in Jingnan, and they were the first targets selected by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
This time, the person Dong Zhuo sent as an envoy to the Xiang clan was another of his advisers, Lu Polou. As a close minister of Fu Jian, this person assisted Fu Jian in killing Fu Sheng and seizing the throne, and recommended Fu Jian to Fu.
Wang Meng and Wang Jinglue, whose achievements surpassed those of Zhuge, were also a rare talent of Wang Zuo.
With a talented person like Lu Polou taking the initiative, and because there were real benefits to be found, the task was not difficult to complete this time, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement to cooperate.
However, just after Lu Polou left, the Xiang family had great differences on the issue of going to war. Of course, the war was going to happen, but they had different opinions on the specific goals.
The two parties in this dispute were surprisingly Fan Zenghe and Yu Ji, the great strategists of the He clan.
The Xiang clan and Yu Ji were born very early. They were born before the Yellow Turban Uprising started.
At the beginning, although Yu Ji experienced the panic she had just traveled through, she quickly cheered up, accepted her new identity, and prepared to help Xiang Yu seize this great country.
From Yu Ji's point of view, the Xiang clan has really made a good start. The famous generals who belonged to Xiang Yu during the Chu-Han War for Hegemony have basically arrived, the god-level counselor Fan Zeng is also still there, and the senior commander Xiang Yan is in charge.
Coupled with the hidden strength of the Xiang family, they can wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion to take advantage of the situation.
The facts were just as she imagined. The Xiang family did take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and took decisive action to seize the land of Jingnan in one fell swoop, gaining their first base in the troubled times.
During this period, as Yu Ji continued to demonstrate her abilities, her status in the Xiang family became higher and higher, and she began to master some actual power. It was even gradually spread that "Guan Zhong, the female member of the Xiang family"
"The name.
During this period, as Yu Ji's power increased, Yu Ji also learned a lot about the intelligence collected daily by the Xiang family. Also because heroes from all walks of life began to appear since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yu Ji
Only then did I begin to have a true understanding of this chaotic world.
This world is not just as simple as Yu Ji has just begun to understand. There are only people like the Xiang family, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wanyan Aguda.
Others who already know about it include Chi You, Zhang Dingbian, Wu Sangui, Xue Ju, Chen Sheng, Li Zicheng, Zhang Shicheng, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Hong Xiuquan, Xing Tian, Xue Rengui, Jiang Song... these people. Especially in the north, Yu Ji even listened to
When it came to the names of Temujin, Nurhaci, Guo Wei, and Xiang Yu's old rival Liu Bang, Yu Ji even discovered the existence of Qin Zheng, who was most likely to be Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, which made Yu Ji suddenly feel pressured
Big increase.
In fact, at the very beginning, the Xiang family wanted to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy the entire Jingzhou. But just as they started to take action, they now encountered another character that she had not expected to appear - Qi Yan Wanli.
The tiger-like Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, plus Xiang Yu wandering around in the Central Plains during that time, caused the Xiang family's actions to fail.
Even the Xiang clan suffered a small defeat in that operation. If Xiang Yan hadn't been old and strong and led the army to retreat in time, they might have entered Liu Yu's ambush and been beaten out of control by Liu Yu.
And as the news of Xiang Yu's presence in the Central Plains continued to spread, Yu Ji really confirmed that Chi You and Xing Tian were probably the two people she had in mind. Otherwise, how could anyone else compete with him in terms of force?
Is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, comparable?
This is not good news for Yu Ji, Xiang Yu, or even the entire Xiang family. Xiang Yu's strongest strength is his military force, and when Xiang Yu leads his troops in battle, they are all fighting against him.
With the combination of force and force, they charge into battle with overwhelming force and are unstoppable. But in this era, Xiang Yu is no longer the best in the world. In fact, there are more than just one or two people who belong to the same level as Xiang Yu.
And as Yu Ji set her sights on the Central Plains and the ongoing Yellow Turban War, another person who had to be mentioned also entered Yu Ji's eyes.
Yu Ji naturally wanted to get to know Xing Tian and Jiang Song, two people who could rival Xiang Yu in terms of military strength. And with Yu Ji's continuous investigation, Li Xiang finally began to enter Yu Ji's world.
in sight.
In fact, Li Xiang had begun to gradually reveal his reputation very early on, but the land of Bingzhou was still too far from the land of Jingnan, and Yu Ji had not had the power in the Xiang family before.
Not big, there are many things that Yu Ji could not know. Therefore, it was not until the Yellow Turban period that Yu Ji began to know the existence of Li Xiang.
