Call of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Yuan's Journey Chapter 389 The coalition forces to fight against Dong are gathering, waiting for the opportunity to move!
Chapter 389 The coalition forces to fight against Dong are gathering, waiting for the opportunity to move!
Discussing the affairs of the board of directors was imminent, so Yuan Shu ordered his civil servants to lobby the various princes near Yuzhou. Among them, Tao Qian, the Mu of Xuzhou, and Zhang Chao in the south of Xuzhou. After learning about the atrocities of Dong's thieves and Yuan Shu's envoys sent to discuss the plan,
Without saying a word, he joined the Southern Alliance and expressed his willingness to raise 35,000 soldiers from the north to attack the Dong traitors!
With the help of Tao Qian and Zhang Chao, Yuan Shu's entire Yuzhou and most of Yangzhou's forces to the east will have no worries for the time being, and he can even dispatch some troops to defend northern Henan, western Henan, and western Yangzhou.
Southern Henan is bordered by Sun Jian's forces. Sun Jian's forces have gone through several battles and have few troops internally. In addition, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is eyeing from the outside. Logically speaking, they should refuse the Northern Expedition to Dong Zhuo.
But after Yan Xiang, the envoy from Yuzhou, entered Yangzhou, their unwillingness to start another war was instantly reversed. Joining the Southern Alliance this time can be said to be a hundred benefits without any harm. If the already weak Sun Jian's forces can get Yuzhou and Yangzhou,
With the protection of the three parties in Jingzhou, why should we be afraid of the attack of the Taiping rebels? Moreover, this Northern Expedition against the Dong rebels is a major event that is famous all over the world. If we don't go there, we will be considered heroes in vain.
Sun Jian took action against the case and promised to join the Southern Alliance and form a rebel army to go north to Sili to attack the Dong thieves and help the Han Dynasty!
After that, Sun Jian summoned his civil and military ministers to discuss the crusade against the Dong thieves, and finally decided to mobilize the entire county and lead 20,000 elite soldiers to go north to support the coalition forces in the crusade against the Dong thieves.
Before sending troops to attack Dong, Sun Jian ordered Han Dang, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and his beloved son Sun Ce to train his soldiers as quickly as possible to improve their overall combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, so as not to embarrass Jiangdong's elders.
The envoy Yan Xiang successfully returned to Yuzhou with good news. Yuan Shu was overjoyed after hearing the news. Now that Sun Jian's forces have joined, it can be said that most of Yangzhou has joined the Yuan family. The next step is to order Lian Po, Su Lie, Qi Jiguang, Yuan Chonghuan, and Meng
Gong and Yang Dayan started a war to destroy the country, hoping that when the coalition forces gathered under Hulao Pass, they could march into Moling and kill Hong Xiuquan!
The east and south sides of Yuzhou have settled down, let's look at the specific situation of the three forces of Cao Cao, Tian Hu, and Chen Youliang in the north.
Since Cao Cao persuaded the Yellow Turban general Zhang Kui to surrender, his power has developed rapidly. However, the rebels Tian Hu and Chen Youliang both settled in Yanzhou. This resulted in the original three forces of Qiao Mao, Zhang Miao, and Yuan Yi being destroyed, and the huge Yanzhou became
The three pillars of Cao, Tian, and Chen are interfering with each other, and they all restrict development.
Now that the story of Sili Dong's thief was reported back to Yanzhou, Cao Cao, who was fond of the Han Dynasty, was furious when he learned about the situation. He immediately wanted to lead an army of 50,000 to Hulao Pass to attack Luoyang and welcome back the emperor.
However, under the advice of his military advisors Guo Jia and Xun You, he did not act rashly. Instead, he kept a low profile and expanded his army to prepare for war. He also ordered generals Zhang Kui, Cao Bin, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong to lead their troops to garrison at the border.
Forced to warn Tian Hu and Chen Youliang not to mess around, otherwise the original balance will be interrupted and a war will break out, and no one will be able to gain anything from it!
In addition to stationing troops, Cao Cao in Yanzhou also sent his subordinates to nearby states and counties to lobby other princes, hoping to form a Central Plains alliance and raise troops to attack Dong!
This time Cao Cao sent Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Cao Shen, Xun Yu, and Wu Shi to lobby the nearby princes. Among them, Guo Jia was in charge of Xuzhou Tao Qian (Cao Cao didn't know that Yuan Shu was forming the Southern Alliance, and he only learned about it later), Chen Gong
He went south to lobby Yuan Shu, Cao Shen went north to Yuan Shao's forces and Han Fu's forces, Xun Yu went to Jingzhou to ask for help from Liu Biao, and the remaining Wu Shi went to Qingzhou to lobby Liu Bei.
When lobbying nearby princes this time, Yuan Shao was in a good mood after winning a battle, so he directly agreed to lead his army to join Cao Cao's Central Plains Alliance. Han Fu was a disciple of Yuan's family. Yuan Shao agreed, and he could not refuse, so he joined the alliance together.
Later, when Liu Bei of Qingzhou learned about the Dong thief, he was furious. Now Cao Cao sent an envoy to invite him, so he readily agreed and led his army to join the alliance.
As for Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou, they originally intended to challenge Dong. Now that Cao Cao invited them, they naturally followed the trend. The Southern Alliance and the Central Plains Alliance merged again to form a coalition to challenge Dong!
Liu Biao of Jingzhou was weak and incompetent, and he was the dog of Shoucheng. He originally wanted to reject Yuan Shu and Cao Cao's request to challenge Dong, but Dou Jiande's power in Jingdong was too rampant. Now Liu Biao urgently needs a prestige to consolidate the position of Jingzhou Mu, otherwise he may be
It was rumored that De was not worthy of the position, so he and Jingzhou Yang Jian sent troops to join the coalition forces.
The rough prototype of the alliance to challenge Dong has come out, and it remains to be seen whether Dou Jiande, Chen Youliang, and Tian Hu, who are sent by Yuan Shu to lobby, will join it!
As Dong Zhao, Shi Wenbin, Zhang Guaiya, Fan Qin, and Du Xi returned without success, Yuan Shu's ideal of getting the rebel forces to join the fight against Dong was shattered. Since these three forces were unwilling to join the alliance,
, if you want to be an enemy of the Alliance, it will be impossible for them to have an easy time.
As a result, Yuzhou Yuan Shu, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Tao Qian, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Dou Jiande, Qingzhou Liu Bei, and Jizhou Yuan Shao all sent their capable ministers and generals to garrison troops at the border with the rebels to deter them with force!
Among them, Dou Jiande's forces in Jingzhou, because Dou Jiande had two fierce generals under his command, Yang Jian in Jingzhou was forced to let his subordinates Zhang Xiantu and Yao Zilin stay at home with 15,000 soldiers to prevent the bandits from taking advantage of the opportunity; Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao also sent Liu Pan and Zhang
Yun, Cai Mao, and Wenpin led 15,000 soldiers to assist Yang Jian's troops in guarding the border with Dou Jiande's forces.
Jingzhou was temporarily stable, and Dou Jiande did not dare to invade rashly, so he was forced to march towards Jingnan and Wuxi barbarians. During this period, Dou Jiande's forces attacked Siduo and Samoko's forces. With the help of Gao Wu under his command, Dou Jiande directly seized a large piece of territory by force.
After being beaten, Shamoko and Xiang Siduo led their troops to flee!
Let's look at Liu Bei's place in Qingzhou. He ordered his general Luan Tingyu to take Luan Tingfang with him, wishing justice, wishing the court, wishing ten thousand years, wishing Yongqing, wishing dragon, wishing tiger, Zhu Biao led an army of 10,000 to guard the intersection of Qingzhou South and Chen Youliang.
, and then he ordered Zhang Dingbian, Wang Yanzhang, Lei Heng, Zhu Dian, Yuan Lang, Wang Yansheng, Wang Yantong, Wang Yanchao, Tian Yu, Qianzhao, Gai Shixiong and more than ten generals to lead the army to stay in Le'an Kingdom to prevent Wang Shichong from attacking again.
Here in Yanzhou, Cao Cao faced the threat from Chen Youliang and Tian Hu. The fierce general Zhang Kui took the initiative to lead his army to the junction of Chen Youliang's forces to prevent Chen Youliang's general Du Hui from attacking. Cao Hong and the others guarded Tian Hu in the north to prevent him from attacking.
Go south.
In addition, Cao Cao also asked Yuan Shu for support in order to strengthen the strong relationship between the alliance; Yuan Shu understood and directly sent his generals Gao Jineng, Pang Wanchun, Lu Shinang, Wang Yin, Zhu Yu (Qu'a), Yang Zhi
, Yang Youji, Hegong, Fengtai, Deng Yuanjue, Hua Yun, Yuchi Yun, and Yuchi Jiong led their troops to support Cao Cao's troops.
From then on, the coalition forces became stronger and stronger, and all the princes were aggressively expanding their armies and preparing for war. At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin in Bingzhou, Liu Bang in Yizhou, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan and other forces in Youzhou were also expanding their armies and preparing for war in order to conquer Dong.
Planning.
Heroes and princes from all over the world work together as one, so why should Thieves Dong be afraid of his 200,000-strong army? Let’s see how the coalition forces can destroy them!
