Chapter 390 The flames of war are spreading, and the alliance of princes is preparing for war!
Let’s talk about the recent changes in Youzhou and the grassland in the north! Let’s say that Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was based in Shanggu County. He and Gongsun Zan, the governor of Daijun, jointly sent troops to destroy Zhang Ju. Zhang Chun and the alien Qiu Li lived in these three directions.
After that, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu made good friends with the Tuobagui forces in the grassland, and they did business with each other, promoting the vigorous development of economy, security, military and other aspects in Youzhou and the border areas of the grassland.
The leader of the grassland tribe, Tuoba Gui, was ambitious and had coveted the fertile Central Plains for a long time. However, due to the strong overall strength of the Youzhou army, he had to give up the idea of leading his army south to attack Youzhou and instead turned his attention to other nearby areas.
The tribe wanted to take this opportunity to unify the eastern grasslands.
After that, Tuoba Gui sent his subordinates Yuan Shanjian and Yuan Jing'an down south to lobby Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, hoping that their forces could send troops northward into the grassland to help him integrate other tribes!
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the Tuoba tribe will treat the two generals as guests and get close to the good friends of generations; if it succeeds, the Tuoba tribe will bring out 10,000 cattle and sheep and thousands of beauties from exotic lands as gifts to Youyou.
The state army repays the kindness of sending troops.
Seeing that Tuoba Gui understood the general situation, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu readily agreed, and then each sent their armies into the grassland to assist the Tuoba tribe in fighting and destroy other nearby forces.
During the period when Emperor Ling died and Dong Zhuo entered the capital, fighting was raging in the northern grassland of Youzhou. Tuoba Gui, together with Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, forcibly attacked Yao Gezhong and Shiluo Shibi Khan tribe. After the war was about to break out, Gongsun Zan
The White Horse Yi Cong under his command repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, among which Gongsun Shu, known as the "Golden Sword that Stands on the Ground", rode alone into the midst of thousands of troops and killed dozens of enemy generals one after another. His bravery made him
The enemies on the opposite side were frightened and did not dare to continue to resist. They all discarded their weapons and chose to surrender.
After successively gathering the two tribes, Tuoba Gui's territory expanded greatly. After that, he and Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan marched westward, directly attacking the tribes of Yanxia and Tang Lianji!
As expected, after the two tribes suffered a massive attack from the coalition forces of Tuoba Gui, Liu Yu, and Gongsun Zan, they were directly defeated and then surrendered. All the areas under their control were merged into the Tuoba tribe. From then on, Tuoba Gui occupied the entire eastern part.
He even wanted to launch an attack on Shile's army that unified the central grassland, but he was persuaded by his trusted generals to hold back. The top priority was to take care of his subordinates first. He would not consider continuing to expand the army until people's hearts stabilized in the future.
Too late.
Tuoba Gui retreated, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu returned to Youzhou. It didn't take long for them to receive gifts from Tuoba's forces. At this time, Youzhou was considered stable for the time being, even if Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu and Tuoba Gui
The tribes are close friends, but since they are not members of our tribe, their hearts must be different, and the Youzhou Army is more or less wary.
With the news of Sili Dong's thief, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, who were far away in Youzhou, once again began to expand their forces and prepare for war, and joined the coalition to defeat Dong, waiting for the opportunity!
The general direction of Youzhou and the princes of the Central Plains and the south are consistent, and they are all acting to support the Han Dynasty and defeat the Dong thieves. At the same time, Liu Bang's forces in Yizhou, far in the southwest, want to participate from Yizhou
It is very difficult to challenge Dong!
Putting aside the fact that the road is rugged, the Di tribe forces in Fujian and other southern barbarians in southern Yizhou are watching with eager eyes, silently licking their wounds, hoping to lead their army northward to overthrow the Liu Yan forces in Yizhou next time.
In order to prevent the enemy from moving north, Liu Bang had to let his generals Kuafu and Zhou Bo, Shen Shiqi, Fu Kuan, and Jin She, all civil and military officials, lead the army to stay at the border between the enemy and ourselves, and asked Li Dingguo to abandon Yongchang County and lead his army back to defend.
Come here and intercept the enemy's advance.
After that, Liu Bang's army in Yizhou temporarily entered a period of calm, and the Hanzhong rebel Zhang Lu was still fighting with Liu Zhang's troops. Zhang Lu had general Zhang Churang to help him, and he repelled Liu Zhang's troops several times, and Liu Zhang lost his troops and generals.
, you can’t get any benefits in Hanzhong at all!
There was a sharp contrast between the achievements of Liu Zhang and Liu Bang, which made Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, who was in declining health, a little distressed. If he handed over the huge Yizhou to Liu Zhang and waited for him to drive west,
Can he maintain such a large family fortune? Rather than ruining Yizhou in Liu Zhang's hands, it would be better to simply let his second son Liu Bang inherit his legacy.
With his thoughts at this point, Liu Yan raised his withered and trembling hand and began to write his will: "If Liu Zhang fails to maintain his integrity and most of Yizhou falls, then Liu Bang can inherit the position of Zhou Mu; the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is no need to pay too much attention to Sili."
According to the imperial court's order, if a new official comes to take office, he can be assassinated secretly in the Xiezang Valley, which is the only way to pass. At this time, Yizhou is still the Yizhou of the Liu family (referring to the Liu Yan family).'
After writing the will, Liu Yan hid the will in a safe place, and then ordered his confidants to secretly go to Liu Bang's mansion to observe Liu Bang's movements after returning to Chengdu with his army, who he had met recently, and what he had done in the mansion!
The confidant retreated and hid outside Liu Bang's house to spy on the situation, but he saw that after Liu Bang returned to Chengdu with his army, he had been staying with his beloved wife Lu Fei and had no contact with other suspicious people.
Let’s take a look at Liu Bang’s leisure life after his return:
When Liu Bang returned with his army and arrived outside the city gate of Chengdu, the Lu Pheasants sisters came to greet them personally, and then everyone went to Liu Bang's mansion together to celebrate the great victory with a grand banquet.
After that, Liu Bang had not received the transfer order, so he had been living in the mansion with his beloved wife Lu Fei. It is said that the loving couple lived very tirelessly in Chengdu. Every morning, Liu Bang would be seen getting up early to cook meals by himself, serving them with a small spoon.
Feeding his beloved wife Lu Zhi, who was pregnant, the couple played in the open space in the center of the mansion playing the harp and dancing the sword. In the evening, taking advantage of the refreshing breeze, they paraded in the pavilion and hugged each other, sitting and watching the sunset.
I will imagine the birth of children in the future, the picture of being a husband and raising children!
Under the starry sky curtain and the moon like a hook, the loving couple returned to the mansion hand in hand. It can be seen that Liu Bang personally cooked meals at night and prepared late-night snacks to have dinner with his beloved wife Lu Pheasant. It is said that "pregnancy requires a lot of nutritional supplements"
’, the two of them ate until they were slightly full before embracing each other and falling asleep.
Just like this day after day, when Lv Zhi's sister Lv Yan came to visit her, her beautiful eyes were shy, her red lips were slightly open and she said in surprise: "Brother-in-law, why do you love your wife so much?"
Seeing Lu Fei scolding, he then waved his jade arm and joked: "Brother Ji is not doting on me, he is just doting on the fetus in my belly." Then the jade palm gently caressed his slightly bulging belly,
Several red clouds floated on the smiling face, and the smile became even bigger!
It happened that Liu Bang heard what Lu Pheasant said at this time, and saw him striding forward with his sword eyebrows slightly relaxed. In front of his sister Lu Huan, he domineeringly took Lu Pheasant into his arms, and then looked at her with tenderness in his eyes for a long time.
, Lu Fei was so ashamed that he buried his head in Liu Bang's arms like a bird clinging to a human.
Liu Bang gently caressed her like a waterfall of green silk, then gently lifted Lu Zhi's beautiful face with two fingers, and responded affectionately: "My wife is my favorite, how can I make you suffer even the slightest injustice and disturb my sorrow?"
When my children are born and become adults, I am willing to go to the fairy mountain with my beautiful woman, escape from the world and spend the rest of my life together!"
Afterwards, the loving couple returned to the inner room hand in hand, leaving Lu Yan alone in a daze, silently recalling the complicated emotions he felt when he was caught off guard and fed dog food. This was just asking for trouble, so he bid farewell to Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant and then returned.
Home.
It's interesting to say that on the way home, this little girl kept thinking of that silly figure of Fan Kuai. Her shy look made people fall in love with her!
Just as Liu Bang and his wife were sleeping in each other's arms, and the sun was rising up the slope in the early morning, an urgent message came from outside the mansion. When they inquired clearly, it was the Secretary who sent back the news.
The princes want to jointly attack the Dong thief, Yuzhou Yuan Shu writes!
"Husband, a war is about to break out?"
"The traitor Dong is cruel and unkind, and has brought disaster to the country and the people. As a member of the Han clan, I should relieve you of your worries. If this happens, I will have to go to Luoyang!"
"I hope you will return soon and may you triumph!"
