The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 172 History is always strikingly similar

After Liu Xie moved his capital to Xuchang, he changed his name to Jian'an.

Cheng Yuanzhi tried his best to make the historical process of the Central Plains consistent with the original time and space, and thus has a certain foresight advantage.

But this does not include Xiliang.

In April of the first year of Jian'an, after careful deployment, Cheng Yuanzhi mobilized 20 elite troops to point directly at Guanzhong.

The [-] vanguard troops crossed the Yellow River from Pubanjin, went upstream along the bank, and arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, surrounding the city.

At that time, Li Jue was fighting Guo Bang on the north bank of the Weihe River. After finding out the news, he was shocked and immediately rectified his troops and horses, intending to return to rescue Chang'an.

Because when he went out to fight, he brought all his sons and nephews out, and all the female relatives stayed in the city.

Although the plan was good, Li Jue failed to fulfill his wish. Guo Si's army followed closely behind, covering up and killing him all the way.

Li Jue was killed and defeated. Seeing that he could not return to Chang'an, he led his remnants to go west.

Cheng Yuanzhi led an army of 15, and sent troops from Zhenglu to Tongguan.

Before leaving, Tian Feng sent a letter of remonstrance from Shangdang, saying:
[Now the imperial court has made a new decision. Hebei has been sending troops to conquer all directions for many years. The state is tired and the people are complaining. The lord should be careful about it.

Moreover, Xiliang is remote, and Han Sui and Ma Teng have lived here for a long time, so they should not be underestimated.After the lord regained Chang'an, he should not be overjoyed and take advantage of the momentum to advance westward.

If you go west, you will have to delay the sun and the moon, the battle line will be stretched for thousands of miles, and the supply of food and grass will be difficult. If there is a change in the middle, it will be difficult to rescue, and hundreds of thousands of troops may be destroyed at once!
I also hope that the lord will observe it carefully, and Tian Feng will pay homage to him. 】

After reading the letter, Cheng Yuanzhi's face darkened instantly, and he handed the letter to Guo Jia.

This Tian Feng has been assigned to Shangdang, and his stinky habit of hating people and splashing cold water still hasn't changed!
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hebei are ready to go, but his crow mouth is chasing after him and saying unlucky words.

How can such a broken mouth be lightly forgiven!
After reading the letter, Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "My lord, do you really intend to attack Xiliang?"

He thought that the 20 troops were just to wipe out Li Jue and Guo Si.

Xiliang is difficult to defeat, if it were easy, Liu Hong would not have changed his generals frequently, and he could not win after five years of fierce fighting.

Even Dong Zhuo could only take measures to appease the Xiliang army, instead of leading the army to be tough.

Cheng Yuanzhi was silent.

If he only took Guanzhong, why did he raise so many soldiers and horses of 20?Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are enough.

The raising of 20 troops was the result of taking into account even the troops of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Although what Tian Fengxin said made some sense, but saying such things when the army was dispatched would inevitably make the coach unhappy.

And cast a shadow over the trip to the west.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi said angrily: "Come on, rush to Shangdang immediately, remove Tian Feng from his post, take him to Yecheng and put him in jail, and come back to deal with him after I have defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui!"

Strictly speaking, Tian Feng has committed the "crime of confusing the army" and "the crime of slowing the army" in the seven bans and 54 cuts.

Which one is a capital offense!

Although Cheng Yuanzhi is not Yuan Shao, he doesn't have such a small mind, but he will not condone Tian Feng's crime and not pursue responsibility.

Originally, in order to protect Tian Feng from dying of cheap talk, Cheng Yuanzhi sent him to Shangdang early after he took control of Hebei, so as not to be out of sight and out of mind.

I didn't expect this guy to be a donkey!Even if you are thousands of miles away, you should still be jealous, chasing after his ass, and you can't hide.

How could the lord's ass be so frivolous for his subordinates?
Seeing this, Guo Jia stepped back silently and said nothing more.

He is scheming and good at reading people's hearts, knowing that Cheng Yuanzhi is already angry at this moment.

At this time, as a counselor, it is wise to keep silent.

The army of 15 continued to march westward, with banners all over the mountains and fields, and swords and guns like jungles.

The Tongguan guard learned that Li Jue was defeated and fled, so he quickly switched to surrender.

The Hebei army marched unimpeded all the way, passed through Tongguan, and reached the foot of Chang'an City, where they took a firm stand.

Cheng Yuanzhi called all the people to discuss the matter.

In the big tent, Guo Jia bowed his head in silence, Guo Tu looked around, Xun You and others were also silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ju Shou came out and said: "My lord, Chang'an City has been controlled by our army. Li Jue was blocked by Feng Yi and could not escape westward. At this moment, he is like a duckweed without roots. His destruction is only in the morning and night, so it is no longer a concern. .”

"Right now, the main enemies in Hebei are Ma Teng and Han Sui, but our army is far away. Although there are many soldiers, they are not as brave as that army; although their army is skilled, they are not as numerous as our army.

"The other army has fine horses and fast horses. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will flee. It is extremely difficult to encircle and wipe them out. If the sun and the moon are too wide, it will be at a disadvantage for our army."

What Ju Shou said can be summed up in two sentences. If you can't make a quick decision, it will be useless to attack.It's better to accept it as soon as it is good, to consolidate the Guanzhong territory, and it will not be too late to plan in the future.

Jushou's words have the same meaning as what Tian Fengxin said, but they are slightly more euphemistic than Tian Feng's, and are more acceptable.

But Cheng Yuanzhi didn't want to accept it.

He was anxious to pacify Xiliang and eliminate future troubles. The last thing he wanted to hear was the words "let it go when it's good" and "put stability first".

"Ju Shou slows down my army's morale, lock him up in the army, wait for me to pacify Xiliang, and then punish him with Tian Feng!"

Now that Hebei has millions of soldiers, and the princes of the Central Plains cannot fight, can't even a Ma Teng be repaired?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi said without doubt: "Send Feng Yi, capture Li Jue alive, then march into Anding, and fight Ma Teng and Han Sui to the death!"

"Now that our army is here, if it advances but never retreats, anyone who says to retreat will be guilty of the same crime as Ju Shou and Tian Feng!"

Although the time and place were changed, Jushou and Tian Feng were sent to prison at the same time because of their mouth.

History is always strikingly similar.

Afterwards, Cheng Yuanzhi ordered the army to be divided into three groups, enter Feng Yi County, and surround Li Jue.

Careful work to find out the truth and report to Li Jue.

When Li Jue saw that all the people under his command heard that the 20 troops from Hebei had arrived, they were all terrified, so he discussed with his cronies how to retreat.

At that time, there were a lot of people in the tent.

Li Shi, son of Li Jue, cousins ​​Li Ying, Li Huan, Li Wei, nephews Li Li, Li Xian, Li Jin and nephew Hu Feng are all present.

Li Xian said: "Uncle, Yuan's army is powerful and our army is small. Although they are all elite soldiers who can count as ten, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth at this moment. If we don't decide early, I'm afraid our subordinates will rebel. .”

Li Jue said: "What my nephew said is exactly what I worry about, what should I do now?"

Li Xian said: "Uncle, now the family members of my Li family and subordinates are all in the hands of Yuan Jun. If they surrender, they will all die. It is better to fight to the death while the soldiers are not chaotic. If they can win the way of life, then it is a profit."

"If not, the only option for a man is to die! What are you afraid of?"

Li Jue followed his words and immediately ordered more than [-] troops to march forward with a loud noise, facing the [-] vanguard troops led by Qu Yi.

Although Li Jue's army was very capable of fighting and defeated Qu Yi several times, the Hebei army continued to fight more and more.

In May, Li Jue, who had only a thousand troops left, retreated to Huangbai City, and was defeated and beheaded by Qu Yi, Zhang He and others.

Cheng Yuanzhi ordered the extermination of the three clans.Send Li Jue's head to Xuchang.

Liu Xie ordered people to hang Li Jue's head high above the city gate of Xudu for three days to express his strong hatred for Li Jue.

So far, holding the emperor for four years, establishing Yongzhou, defeating Zhu Jun, defeating Ma Teng, rejecting Sun Jian, attacking Xiqiang, killing Xu Rong, and expelling Lu Bu, Li Jue, the leader of the Guanzhong warlord, disappeared completely.

In June, Cheng Yuanzhi recruited Guo Si's followers, found a random excuse to punish him, put him in a prison car and sent him to Xuchang.On the other hand, he led his troops to travel all day and night to Anding County to meet Ma Teng.

At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui had mobilized [-] troops, and the combined army came, and the army had reached eighty miles east of Anding City.

The two armies will be in the wild, setting up their battles far away.

The war is about to start.

Before the battle, Guo Jiajin said: "The Xiliang army's spearmen and horses are fast, and everyone is brave. My lord should read out the imperial decree before the battle to break the morale of the army; It can be fought!"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the army formation on the opposite side, neighed the fierce soldiers and horses, with banners covering the sky and spears like dragons, and said with his jaw:
"That's a great word!"

"Agudo, step forward to announce the decree!"

Taking advantage of Aguduo's beeping time, Cheng Yuanzhi turned around and asked, "Generals, who dares to fight and kill the generals to capture the flag!"

Su Gai poked his head out and said in a low voice, "Marshal, I'll go!"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at him: "You are a guard, not a general, step down!"

Zhao Yun was about to go out, but Xu Huang said first: "My lord, Huang is willing to fight!"

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded his head and said in his heart: "Xu Huang is Xu Huang, he has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and knows when to come out."

Then he said: "Okay, if you win the first battle, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"


The words "reward a thousand gold" seemed to turn on a certain switch, and with a whimper, a bunch of generals rushed out.

Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others all clasped their hands together and said: "My lord, the general is willing to go!"

The implication is that they are bound to get this daughter.

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand, signaling Xu Huang to go out on his own, and then said to the rest of the troops: "Don't worry, everyone, come one by one, there are like clouds of fierce generals on the opposite side, at least one or twenty strong generals like Xu Huang, you guys Everyone has a share."

Everyone looked suspicious.

With a mere 10 horses on the opposite side, can there be one or twenty fierce generals?
They don't quite believe it.

Since ancient times, there have been strong generals from Xiliang, so you can't help but believe it. If I didn't know the history, I wouldn't believe it either... Cheng Yuanzhi didn't bother to explain to them, pointed to the center of the battlefield and said: "Everyone, wait and see!"

the other side.

Xiliang's [-] soldiers and horses are so imposing.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are in front.

Two people who had the hatred of killing their wives and had just fought to the death, turned their enemies into friends and jointly resisted foreign soldiers.

Behind them, Yan Xing, Ma Tie, Ma Chao, Pang De, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, and the ten-year-old Ma Dai and other generals The words are lined up, and the momentum is lingering.

Cheng Yuanzhi set up a pergola with his hands and carefully observed the opposite side.

Although the generals on the opposite side didn't know any of them, it didn't prevent him from knowing everything.

There is no doubt that Yan Xing, Han Sui's son-in-law, is currently the number one general in the Xiliang Army. Not long ago, Yan Xing almost killed Ma Chao under his horse.

Followed by Ma Chao and Pang De, these two are both top-notch generals. One can fight Zhang Fei in a duel with no outcome, and the other can fight with Guan Yu in an indistinguishable manner.

The rest of the generals are also top-notch generals, needless to say their strength.
