One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 35 - Target - To stab Xu

Suanzao County, belonging to Chenliu County, is located in the east and slightly north of Luoyang, about 400 miles away from Luoyang, and about 200 miles away from Xingyang.

Among the feudal lords who fought against Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao, governor of Chenliu, Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, Qiao Mao, governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, governor of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, chancellor of Jibei, all stationed troops in Suanzao County.

In addition to several other princes, Han Fu, the Mu of Jizhou, stayed behind in Yecheng to provide food and grass supplies for the coalition; Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition who called himself a general of chariots and cavalry and was actually the governor of Bohai, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, stationed troops in Hanoi; Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, and Zhang, the governor of Guangling Chao was stationed in Yingchuan; later general Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, and Changsha prefect Sun Jian went north to join Yuan Shu.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said that the eighteen princes challenged Dong, but in fact there were not that many.

Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Kong Rong and many other princes mentioned in "The Romance" did not actually participate in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, and some princes even maintained close relations with Dong Zhuo.

Outside Suanzao City, the barracks of the princes are backed by the four walls, all stretching out for several miles.The whole jujube city is wrapped in white.

Because Zhang Miao was the prefect of Chenliu, he belonged to the landlord in the Suanzao coalition army. Therefore, he is the leader of the princes here, and he has the most troops.Even Cao Cao belongs to Zhang Miao at this time.

When the allied forces met in Suanzao for the first time, an army of [-] was assembled, which can be described as a massive force.However, after the meeting of the princes, they only cared about drinking and having fun every day. During the banquet, they talked about this grand event, but no one took the initiative to propose marching to Luoyang.

In the end, Cao Cao lost his temper and persuaded Zhang Miao and his friend Bao Xin to mobilize [-] troops. He, Bao Xin, and Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi led the troops to Chenggao.

None of the princes were optimistic about Cao Cao's troop dispatch.They secretly ridiculed Cao Cao, saying that Cao Mengde was arrogant and would stop after he suffered.Bao Xin and Zhang Miao were also implicated by Cao Cao, and were often ridiculed by others behind their backs.

Bao Xin sincerely supported Cao Cao, but Zhang Miao agreed to Cao Cao's troops as a last resort.

Don't look at Cao Cao's attachment to Zhang Miao now, but Zhang Miao knows himself.

Cao Cao used to be one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and his official position was still higher than Zhang Miao. In addition, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, failed and fled back to Chenliu's hometown. Great fame.

Zhang Miao is far from Cao Cao in terms of status and personal reputation.

Cao Cao was an extremely powerful person. When he first arrived in Luoyang and served as the northern captain, he made a five-color stick and hung it in the yamen. He strictly enforced the law and was not afraid of the powerful. He killed Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu, one of the ten regular servants, with the stick, which made Luoyang city The young and old dudes talk about Cao's discoloration.

On the other hand, Zhang Miao is a timid and cowardly character.For this reason, Zhang Miao was difficult to control Cao Cao as a subordinate. Instead, he often humbled Cao Cao and was restrained everywhere.

Unlike other princes, Zhang Miao was full of expectations for Cao Cao's dispatch of troops.After all, more than half of the troops marching west belonged to him.

Ten days later, Cao Cao's troops marching westward returned to Suanzao.All the princes went out of the camp ten li to meet each other.

It's not that the princes are really so enthusiastic about Cao Cao, they are mostly holding the attitude of watching Cao Cao's jokes.

But what shocked the princes was that Cao Cao actually put on a triumphant posture. Hundreds of Xiliang army prisoners were escorted by the army, and more than a dozen carts were loaded with the captured military supplies.

Seeing that Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Wei Zi greeted them all with a high-spirited look, the princes were not calm, and they were sour.

However, paper cannot contain fire after all, and the princes are not fools.On the second day after Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Wei Zi's allied forces returned to Suanzao, the details of the Battle of Bianshui were also inquired by the princes.

It turned out that Cao Cao and the others did not win the battle. At best, they were tied with Xu Rong... No, the tie is not even counted. They returned in a big defeat, losing nearly half of their troops.

The news was leaked by Weisz.After all, he was Zhang Miao's confidant, and he didn't dare to hide anything when reporting the war to Zhang Miao.

When Zhang Miao knew the truth, the others also knew it.

Now, the princes who did not follow Cao Cao were happy again.

"A fool is a fool. I really thought I was capable. I almost lost my life."

"Yes, if it wasn't for the good luck of Cao Aman, the guy named Qin Yi who received the tent acted accordingly, and after the fire burned Camel Ridge, how could he, Cao Aman, be alive now?"

"By the way, I heard that Qin Yi disappeared. This person is also very strange. Since he has taken refuge in Cao Aman and made outstanding achievements, why doesn't he follow Cao Aman back to receive the reward?"

"Why do you rely on Cao Aman? I heard from Wei Zi that the guy named Qin Yi only agreed to help Cao Aman fight the war, and he didn't sell him to Cao Aman."

"Oh, so that's the case! Then it's on the right track. It must be that Qin Yi found out that Cao Aman was not worth relying on, and then sneaked away after helping him fight this battle."

…………

Qin Yi had no way of knowing that his name had already been registered with the jujube princes.But it's not a good reputation, people just use him as a foil, mainly to mock Cao Cao.

Hidden on a small hill, Qin Yi looked down at the military camp three miles below the hill.

This is a place in the north of Xialiang County under Yinzhi in Henan Province.That barracks was Xu Rong's temporary camp.

Calculated in real time, more than a month has passed since the Battle of Bianshui.But in Qin Yi's time, only one day has passed.

Qin Yi returned to the base car, only rested for a day, and then was sent by the base car to perform the next task.

The second subsection of the first stage of the plot task is to ask Qin Yi to help Sun Jianjun go north.

Sun Jian's previous official position was the prefect of Changsha.At the beginning of the year, he responded to Cao Cao's initiative and raised troops in Changsha to attack Dong Zhuo.Go north all the way to Luyang County, Nanyang County, and join Yuan Shu, the later general.

Afterwards, Yuan Shubiao played Sun Jian as the general who broke the captives and led the governor of Yuzhou.Of course, it is impossible for Yuan Shu's performance to be approved by the court, and it is even impossible to send it to Luoyang.

In fact, all the new official positions of the princes who fought against Dong Zhuo were privately awarded by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and they were only valid in the allied forces against Dong Zhuo.

After Sun Jian made an alliance with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu ordered him to garrison Liang County and take the opportunity to advance northward as a vanguard to attack Luoyang.

A month ago, Dong Zhuo's army and Xu Rong's troops left Xingyang in the east and fought a battle with the coalition troops in Bianshui.The two sides have victories and losses, which can be regarded as a draw.

Xu Rong broke his spirit, withdrew his troops back to Xingyang and did not advance eastward, but sent troops out to plunder.A few days ago, Dong Zhuo issued a new military order to Xu Rong, ordering him to lead troops south to attack Liang County.

The location where Qin Yi was teleported was near the place where Xu Rongjun was camped after entering Liang County.

His task this time is to help Sun Jian fight.

Historically, it took Sun Jian a year and a half to invade Luoyang. He was the most aggressive, experienced the most battles, and had the greatest military exploits among the coalition forces of the princes.Sun Jian's attack on Luoyang represented the end of Dong Zhuo's crusade.

Therefore, Qin Yi was very active in helping Sun Jian fight the war.As long as Sun Jian can attack Luoyang in advance, then he will have completed the plot task of the first level.

At the same time as the plot task in the second section of the first stage, there is also a random task, which is to kill Xu Rong.

It just so happened that Xu Rong led troops to attack Sun Jian's army, and these two tasks just merged into one.As long as Qin Yi kills Xu Rong, it will reduce the pressure on Sun Jian's march, which is a double win.

Standing on the hillock and peeking at Xu Rongjun's camp, a plan to assassinate Xu Rong was formed in Qin Yi's mind.
