Eight years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, another four years have passed in the blink of an eye. However, during these four years, the situation in the Central Plains has undergone major changes! Four years ago, a sudden change occurred in Youzhou. The Western Qin generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan suddenly appeared with their armies.
In Youzhou, Fan Yang was conquered in a very short period of time, and the overlord Gongsun Zan died in battle. Beiyan, once the most powerful among the Guandong princes, perished like this.
And just when everyone in the world thought that Sima Yi, the Northern Yan military advisor who led nearly 60,000 Northern Yan troops, would lead his army north to avenge Gongsun Zan, unexpectedly, an even more shocking news came: Sima Yi actually turned around with 60,000 Northern Yan troops.
He took refuge under Cao Cao's account! Cao Cao also took advantage of the situation and captured Jizhou, officially replacing Gongsun Zan and becoming the most powerful prince in Guandong! As for Qingzhou, it was captured by Liu Bei, who had been oppressed by several princes before, and Liu Bei also got a breather.
opportunity and began to slowly grow in strength.
However, neither Cao Cao nor Liu Bei had any plans to continue going north after seizing the new territory. They all focused on digesting the newly acquired territory. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who had occupied Youzhou, also began to occupy Youzhou.
After operating it, Youzhou was gradually built into a fortress installed by the Western Qin in the northeast. Now, the Western Qin's encirclement of the Guandong princes has taken shape. Obviously, the Western Qin has become more and more powerful!
It seems that due to the strength of the Western Qin, the feudal princes of the Kanto region once again abandoned their old grievances and formed an alliance. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce joined forces. No matter how powerful the Western Qin was, they would not dare to attack easily.
The princes of Guandong took action. In this way, the princes from all over the world once again formed a temporary peace, and spent the past four years in peace.
In the spring of the eighth year of Jian'an, all this seemed to have changed again. Meng Huo, the king of the Southern Barbarians who had been surrendered to the Western Qin Dynasty, suddenly raised an army and invaded the country. He successively captured the three counties of Yuexi, Yongchang and Zangda, and approached Zhuti County! This sudden
The war that took place caught the Yizhou army, which had enjoyed peace for many years, by surprise. Fortunately, Lu Su, who had officially become the governor of Yizhou, promptly dispatched reinforcements to Zhuti County and asked for help from Chang'an. Only then could the Nanman army be blocked.
However, with the number of Yizhou troops compared to the countless Nanman troops, this stalemate may not last long.
In Chang'an City, the war in southern Xinjiang is still too far away for the people of Chang'an City. Only some scholars will talk about the war in southern Xinjiang after dinner. However, in their words,
There was no worry at all. They all firmly believed that it wouldn’t be long before the Southern Barbarians were repelled by the troops of the Western Qin Army! This confidence stemmed from the Western Qin Army’s long-term undefeated record and people’s support for the Western Qin Army.
Worship of Luo Yang, the ruler of the Western Qin Dynasty!
In the General's Mansion, the atmosphere was obviously much more tense than in Chang'an City. In a courtyard in the backyard, sharp sounds pierced the air, and a cold light shone in the courtyard. A figure was riding silver light, in the center of the courtyard.
Leaping back and forth. Next to him, an old man was holding a tea cup in his hand, sitting on a stone bench, squinting at the figure, nodding his head in approval from time to time.
"Drink!" There was a loud shout, and a cold light suddenly flashed out from the figure, but it was shot directly at a boulder in the corner of the yard. A thud was heard, and the boulder instantly split into pieces.
Two halves! In the gap between the boulders, there is a silver gun inserted. The head of the silver gun has been deeply embedded in the gap between the boulders, and the gun barrel is still shaking up and down.
"Okay!" The old man cheered, handed the teacup in his hand to the servant beside him, stood up and shouted: "Young Master's marksmanship is really getting better and better! This shot is quite similar to the one when the Lord challenged Lu Bu, the god of war in Bingzhou. Such style!”
The figure stood still, but he was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Although his figure was not considered thin, he could not be said to be very strong. I really couldn't believe the power of the shot that just split the boulder. It actually came from such a body! The young man took the towel brought by the maid next to him, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old General, thank you! I can make such progress, thanks to Thanks to the careful teachings of the old general!"
The identities of the old man and the young man are naturally self-evident now. The old man is Huang Zhong, the first general in Jingxiang who dominated the battlefield back then, and the young man is Luo Gan, the eldest son of the general Luo Yang!
The past four years have passed, and in two months, Luo Gan will be crowned and become an independent adult! And the results of these fifteen years of elite training are also extremely obvious. Who is in Chang'an City now? I didn’t know that the eldest son of His Highness the King of Qin was an outstanding young hero! I heard that after Luo Gan’s crowning ceremony, His Highness the King of Qin would choose a marriage for Luo Gan. This made the famous families in the city extremely excited. , one after another took the initiative to submit the birthdays and horoscopes of their unmarried female relatives to the General's Mansion, looking forward to getting married to the General's Mansion.
Of course, these trivial matters are not what Luo Gan has to worry about. His current task is to study hard and prepare to take over his father's hegemony in the future.
Next, Huang Zhong continued to explain some essentials in battle to Luo Gan. After about half an hour, Huang Zhong also said to Luo Gan: "Young Master, that's the end of today's lesson! Veteran, resign!" After saying that, Huang Zhong bowed to Luo Gan. Although Luo Gan had always treated Huang Zhong with courtesy, Huang Zhong always abided by his duty, leaving no one with any faults.
Huang Zhong resigned, and Luo Gan naturally sent him away respectfully. After Huang Zhong left, Luo Gan returned to the yard, pulled out the spear that was still stuck in the gap between the boulders, and threw it directly to The servant next to him walked directly towards the stone bench where Huang Zhong was sitting. Just as he sat down, Luo Gan smiled faintly and suddenly said to the open space next to him: "Okay! Eldest sister! Third brother! You guys? Come out! There are snakes in my yard!"
"Oh! Is there a snake?" A voice called out, but two figures jumped out from the grass next to the open space. One of them was wearing a palace dress, but his behavior was carefree and he was jumping up and down. , but when she stood still, her beautiful face could make people hold their breath. The only woman who could make such a fuss in the general's mansion was Luo Yang's precious daughter Luo Yue! Now Luo Yue is no longer the naughty little devil she used to be. She has grown into a graceful lady, but her temperament is still the same as when she was a child. Of course, this has a lot to do with Luo Yang's favor over the years. .
"Sister! Why do you fall for the second brother's trick every time?" But next to Luo Yue, the one who jumped out of the grass with her was a real little ghost. Looking at his appearance, he had the head of a tiger and the brain of a tiger. , especially those big eyes, swiveling around, very cute! He looked at Luo Yue complainingly, and hummed: "It was obvious that the second brother was trying to scare you! This is not the first time he has done this. If you use it, why are you deceived by him every time?"
Being complained by the little ghost head, Luo Yue was obviously a little embarrassed, but when the little ghost head said this, Luo Yue became a little angry, but her beautiful hand clenched into a fist, and she directly hit the little ghost head on the head, hum. Said: "You brat! I did this on purpose! Can you care?"
Luo Yue knocked down with this punch, and the little devil immediately held his head and shouted with a wink. Luo Yue no longer cared about him, turned to Luo Gan and said: "Qian'er! Let's go! Let's go! What I just said was I saw Uncle Fengxiao and the others coming! Maybe something big happened! Let's go and listen!" Perhaps because of their temperaments, Guo Jia and Luo Yue were particularly close to each other. Guo Jia had even sent a message before, asking them to Luo Yue is his daughter-in-law!
"Uh!" Luo Gan smiled bitterly, put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "Sister, forget it! Uncle Fengxiao and the others are going to find their father. They must have something important to discuss, so we don't want to join in the fun!" Compared with Luo Yue, Luo Gan is much more rational. Although sometimes he will get involved in Luo Yue's mischief, but that is because he has to do it to protect Luo Yue's safety. More often than not, Luo Gan will Focus on your own studies.
Luo Yue did not persuade Luo Gan, but Luo Yue was obviously a little unwilling, and persuaded again: "Gan'er, don't you care about what dad and uncle Fengxiao are discussing? Hehe, I have heard that Auntie and the others have recently I have been extremely busy with your marriage. Maybe this time, dad summoned Uncle Fengxiao and the others just to confirm your marriage!"
Luo Gan smiled faintly, but did not comment. Of course he would not believe Luo Yue's words. Although he was the eldest son of Luo Yang, his marriage was an extremely important matter, but he would never let his father summon his important ministers to discuss it. On the contrary Luo Gan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard the servants talking privately this morning. It seemed that there was a war in southern Xinjiang. Luo Gan thought about it and immediately guessed that there might be a problem with the southern barbarians. Thinking of it, his father summoned Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to discuss!
In this way, Luo Gan was really interested. Since the pacification of Youzhou, the princes of Guandong have been huddled in their nests and dare not move. The only thing that may pose a threat to Western Qin is the southern border area. The Southern Barbarians! How his father and the others would deal with those Southern Barbarians made Luo Gan a little curious. However, Luo Gan would not just agree to Luo Yue. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then closed his eyes, no Talk again.
On the surface, Luo Gan seemed to be closing his eyes and concentrating, but in fact he was slowly deducing in his mind how he should handle the matter if he were in charge. This way of thinking was actually what his father had done when Luo Gan was only five years old. What he was taught was to help Luo Gan develop the habit of independent thinking from an early age.
