Although the princes' struggle against Dong, which attracted the attention of the people of the world, came to an end, the whole Han Dynasty did not and calmed down.
In the land of Jiangdong, taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's absence, the King of Heaven Hong Xiuquan sent out troops in a mighty manner, but the battle situation was not optimistic. Even in Zhu Yuanzhang's absence, Hong Xiuquan did not take any advantage. On the contrary, under Zhu Sheng's design,
Hong Xiuquan caused a lot of damage. If Shi Dakai hadn't reacted quickly that time, the battle might have been over.
In the land of Qingzhou, Dou Jiande and Guo Wei joined forces to once again launch an attack on the strength of Liu Bei and Kong Rong. Fortunately for Liu Bei, Liu Qi, the original general, was responsible for supervising and commanding the troops, and Liu Xuanchu, Liu Wenjing, and Liu Yanzong were responsible for making suggestions.
, with Liu Zheng, Liu Hongji, Liu Guangshi and other famous generals from various dynasties assisting them, and with the timely return of Guan Yu and Guan Sheng, the fight was finally successful.
But the same cannot be said for Kong Rong. Although Kong Rong got a large number of Liangshan heroes to join him because of Song Jiang's relationship. However, although there were many Liangshan generals, most of them were brave men. When it came to uniting the troops in battle, they were not good enough.
Far.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war, Kong Rong's side has been retreating steadily. I'm afraid that before he can return, his old nest will be gone!
As for Liangzhou, the lively scene here is no worse than Qingzhou or Yangzhou.
Su Lie was worthy of the name of the general who destroyed the country. When the allied forces of the princes were blocked in front of Hulao Pass and had no choice but to divide their troops, Su Lie personally led 30,000 iron cavalry out of Hetao and attacked Xiliang by surprise. Feng Yi led 70,000 infantry.
The rear moved forward slowly.
Liangzhou is the rear area of Dong Zhuo's forces. Normally, the Xiliang soldiers guarding here would not have much defense. In this case, with Su Lie's commanding ability of hundreds, he would naturally succeed in the battle.
, in just a few days, they directly captured the entire Wuwei County!
But Dong Zhuo now has many talented people under his command, and those left to guard the rear area are naturally not incompetent. Emperor Wuzhao of the Later Qin Dynasty, Yao Chang, responded very promptly. After learning the news of Su Lie's attack, he immediately arranged various defenses.
, and also invited a large number of Qiang and Hu cavalry from the other side to come to support.
There are many Qiang people in Liangzhou. The Qiang rebellion was also an important reason for the gradual decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Since Yuanjian, there have been one hundred and fifty kinds of descendants. Nine of them are west of the Cizhi River, and in Shu and north of the Han Dynasty. There is no oral number in the history. Only Shenlang is in Wudu, and the number of victorious soldiers is
Thousands of people. Fifty-two of them are declining, unable to stand on their own, and are scattered as appendages, either extinct or having no heirs, or driven away. Of the eighty-nine species, only Zhong is the strongest, with more than 100,000 victories. The rest are large
There are more than 10,000 people in the group, and thousands in the small group. They also steal from each other, and the rise and fall are unpredictable. When Wu He obeys the emperor, the total number of victorious soldiers can be 200,000. The Qiang, Tang Yan and others are far away, and there is no contact. The cattle and the white horse Qiang are there.
Shu, Han, their species and names are all unknown."
Judging from this description in the Later Han Dynasty, the number of Qiang people in the Han Dynasty was very large, at least millions, which can be said to be a very powerful force. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people gradually replaced the Huns.
It became the most threatening border threat of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since Emperor Guangwu pacified Longyou and captured Hexi, there have been five major Qiang-Han wars, and countless other small and medium-sized wars.
The continuous Qiang-Han wars lasted almost throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, and became one after another in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty. There was no peaceful day. The Qiang-Han wars affected all aspects of the Eastern Han Empire and had a profound historical impact.
The long-term and frequent Qiang-Han wars not only devastated the border area of Liangzhou, causing a sharp decline in the population of this area. They also cost the country nearly 100 billion, but still could not completely pacify Liangzhou, and there were still repeated conflicts from time to time.
happened, and in the end the financial problem could only be solved by issuing a large amount of copper coins, but this eventually caused a series of problems.
It can be said that the weakening of the Eastern Han Dynasty government in the later period had a lot to do with the Qiang and Hu problem in Xiliang.
As Yao Chang called for Qiang support, Su Lie's 30,000 cavalry seemed to be insufficient. Therefore, Su Lie temporarily settled down and began to reorganize the newly captured Wuwei County. He also waited for Feng Feng from behind.
The arrival of the alien army.
…
"It's too much to bully others. Li Xiang really goes too far to bully others!" Dong Zhuo from Chang'an roared like this.
Originally, when Dong Zhuo heard that all the coalition forces of the princes had retreated, leaving only Li Xiang stranded in Luoyang, he excitedly went to the palace to find the concubines of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty to release them. But who knew that he was happy just now?
, news came that Li Xiang’s son actually sent troops to attack Liangzhou, his rear area.
"Come here, gather troops for our family. This time we will definitely kill that kid Li Xiang to vent our hatred!" Dong Zhuo said angrily.
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo was preparing to start another war after just experiencing a war. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately advised: "Xiang Guo, although the Kwantung Allied Forces retreated this time, our army suffered a lot of losses. It is really difficult at this time."
It is not appropriate to fight, rest and recuperation are the most important things."
Dong Zhuo had always believed in Li Ru. After hearing what Li Ru said, he finally calmed down a little, "Wen You, do you have any plans to help our family get rid of that little Li Xiang!"
Li Ru thought for a moment and then said slowly: "Xiangguo, as things stand now, we can only arrange for a reinforcement. In addition, we can choose a general to send troops out of Hangu to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."
"Ask the Prime Minister, there are other forces in Liangzhou besides the Prime Minister!" Li Ru just finished speaking, and Qin Hui on the side spoke immediately.
After hearing what Qin Hui said, Li Ru's eyes also flashed, and he said excitedly, "Yes, Prime Minister, Li Zifeng's attack on Liangzhou, I am not the only one who is affected, then Ma Teng and Han
So the two of them must be stuck in their throats. The effect can be to send people to confer several official positions on the two of them to lure them to send troops. Not only can they resist Li Xiang's Bingzhou Army, but they can also consume the strength of Ma Teng and Han Sui.
.”
"Okay, okay, we have Wen You and Hui in our family, why can't we worry about taking over the world?"
"Transmit an order to order Fu Jian as the chief general, Lu Guang, Zhang Hao, Fu Sheng, and Geng Jingzhong as the deputy generals to send troops to support Liangzhou."
"Immediately send someone to appoint Ma Teng as the prefect of Hanyang and Han Sui as the prefect of Jincheng, and send someone to ask them to send troops to deal with the Bingzhou army."
"Send an order to Yang Jian to lead his troops east out of Hangu, and use Wu Wenhua, Lu Bu, Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou, Yang Lin, Wu Yunzhao and others as generals to pretend to attack Li Xiang's son?"
After receiving the suggestions from Li Ru and Qin Hui, Dong Zhuo immediately issued orders one after another.
