The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Jiang Xia was taken under Yuan Shu's command, and Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, was left with only one county in Nanjun.
Although some of Jiang Xia's remnants fled to Xiangyang, Liu Zheng also let Zhang Yun's thousands of troops go back, leaving Nanjun with [-] troops for the time being.
But the name of Jingzhou governor has already existed in name only.
Liu Biao was upstairs in Xiangyang City. What he worried about was that he couldn't eat and no one could sleep.Can only ask the court for help.
Luoyang is not far from Nanjun. It can be said that it is next to Gyeonggi. If you work hard, you can reach Luoyang in three days.
Therefore, when the news that Liu Zheng's troops occupied Changsha and that Nanjun was in danger reached Luoyang, He Miao, the general in the court, was extremely furious.
Immediately ordered all the officials to go to court to find a way how to deal with Liu Zheng.
Compared with the rebels in other places, Liu Zheng is the biggest potential crisis.
Chapter 527 Bingzhou Inspector Ding Yuan
Luoyang, above the palace hall.
The 12-year-old little emperor Liu Bian was wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the top dragon chair, with a dull expression, looking like an idiot.
But in fact, he is very smart, he has his own ideas, but, he is too young, no one can pay attention to his ideas.
The person in charge of negotiating with civil and military officials in the court hall was naturally General He Miao.
He Miao is now the unsurprising leader in the imperial court. Basically, although some of the civil and military officials are the remnants of He Jin before, He Jin has been dead for too long, and those remnants are powerless. In the end, he could only slowly wear away with time, and then was replaced by He Miao's men.
"Everyone, I just received the news that Liu Zheng, the traitor in the south, has become more and more rampant. He took down Yangzhou not long ago, and now, while we are dealing with Yuan Shao, his soldiers are pointing directly at Jingzhou. Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is here to report , Said that Changsha County was lost, he lost troops and generals, and Nan County was also in jeopardy, so he asked us for help, let's see, what should we do about this matter?"
In fact, He Miao didn't need to discuss with civil and military officials at all, he could just go directly to Hussar General Lu Zhi to discuss it, but now that Lu Zhi was fighting outside to deal with Yuan Shao's troops, he was not in Luoyang at this time, so He Miao had no choice but to You can only ask the civil and military officials in the court how to deal with Liu Zheng.
In He Miao's heart, Liu Zheng has always been a great threat, because when He Miao was Jing Zhaoyin, he had fought against Liu Zheng, and he understood Liu Zheng's horror at that time.
It was only later that Liu Zheng stayed in Jiaozhou in the south. Jiaozhou, a place where birds don’t shit, didn’t attract He Miao’s attention. This gradually made Liu Zheng stronger and stronger. It's time to tidy up.
He Miao was a little nervous at this point. Judging from the information submitted by others to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng is now sitting on the land of three states, with a strong army of 10,000+ soldiers and horses, including 7 to [-] elite soldiers. People, even if the court wants to wipe him out, it will take a lot of effort.
Although it seems that Yuan Shao has 10,000+ soldiers and sits in Youzhou and Jizhou, which is also a huge threat, but Liu Zheng has become the second Yuan Shao, even more nervous than Yuan Shao, which makes He Miao feel nervous.
Yuan Shao's people are strong, but after all, He Miao is still sure that he can deal with them, but Liu Zheng, the powerful Liu Zheng, has never tasted defeat since he started his army.
For so many days, Liu Zhengzhan has always been victorious, and every battle is a perfect victory. As long as he personally commands the battle, he can basically hand in a perfect record.
"Originally, I wanted to eliminate Yuan Shao and those people first, and then hit the power to deal with Liu Zheng, but now it seems that I can't wait any longer. Liu Zheng's troops have already occupied Changsha. Once Nanjun is defeated by him, there will be more people at any time." When the opportunity comes to Gyeonggi again, we in Luoyang must prepare in advance!"
Liu Zheng had already fought Luoyang once, and He Miao had seen it with his own eyes.
Therefore, He Miao still paid more attention to Liu Zheng's threat, for fear that Liu Zheng's men would come to Luoyang again, and they would be unable to stop them at that time.
What scares He Miao the most is that once Lu Zhi loses the battle in Jizhou, it is very likely that the majesty and strength of the imperial court will drop again and again, causing the imperial court to be severely damaged and unable to compete with Liu Zhi for such a powerful The princes and ministers Hang Heng.
He Miao told the news of Liu Zheng's capture of Jingzhou in the court hall. At this moment, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar. Most of the people present were people who knew Liu Zheng's name.
For nothing else, when Liu Zheng entered the palace and killed Emperor Han, everyone has heard the news.
In the past, Liu Zheng was a taboo, and he was rarely mentioned in court, because everyone was unwilling to face this person, he was too scary.
Of course, there are also some people who are not afraid of death and will stand up.
Such as Wang Yun.
"Great general, Liu Zheng's son, but the remnants of the Yellow Turban, what's so scary, the Yellow Turban Army was still destroyed by my big man, and now there are only tens of thousands of remnants, so it makes us such a headache. In my opinion, only We need to dispatch [-] elite soldiers, commanding a strong general to deal with it.”
As the Great Situ, Wang Yun is currently the most powerful person in the court. He is also a relatively capable person. He is still loyal to the Han court, but he is just a literati. , do not understand.
Unable to lead troops into battle, we can only find ways to make suggestions.
He Miao was worrying about this matter, when he heard Wang Yun's words, he thought Wang Yun had a solution.
"Wang Situ, in your opinion, Liu Zheng is not something to be afraid of? Then who are you saying that [-] soldiers and horses can defeat Liu Zheng?"
He Miao didn't have any hope in his heart, he just asked casually, he didn't think Wang Yun could come up with any good solution.
But when Wang Yun was asked by He Miao, he really said it.
"The old minister recommends one person, and he will surely break Liu Zheng."
"Speak quickly."
"Inspector of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan!"
"Ding Yuan?"
After He Miao heard Wang Yun's words, he was slightly startled, and was thinking about who this person was in his mind.
He Miao didn't know much about military affairs. Apart from some local officials, he didn't know much about the other foreign enemies.
Especially Ding Yuan, who just took office as governor of Bingzhou.So He Miao really didn't know much about it.
Wang Yun also saw He Miao's frown, knowing that He Miao might not know Ding Yuan well, so he hurriedly explained again.
"Although Ding Yuan was born in a poor family, he was resourceful, brave and powerful. When he was an official in Nan County in his early years, he accepted his mission no matter what difficulties he faced. When there was an alarm or emergency, he would take the lead in chasing and killing the enemy. "
"Later, he met me when he was in charge of Jinwu in Luoyang. I saw that he was brave and resourceful. He was a talented person. Not long ago, Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was defeated and killed when resisting the attack of the Hu people. So I recommended Ding The original successor was the Inspector of Bingzhou. Soon he repelled the barbarian invaders, and now is the time when he is free, if he is ordered to deal with Liu Zheng, I think it should not be a problem."
"The soldiers and horses under him are all cavalry from Bingzhou. They are good at fighting, and they should be able to catch some of Liu Zheng's yellow scarves."
He Miao didn't have any hope at all, but when he heard Wang Yun's bragging, he became a little interested.
"The Ding Yuan you mentioned is really so powerful?"
"The general can give Ding Yuan a try. If he can defeat Liu Zheng, it will be perfect. If he can't, he can also order him to delay and wait for General Lu Zhi to settle the battle in Jizhou."
Chapter 528 Good News
As soon as Wang Yun said his thoughts, there were many people in the court who agreed with him.
The main reason for this is that they have no other way.
After all, some of them were intimidated by Liu Zheng's reputation, and there was no good way to do it. Now that Wang Yun said it, no matter whether what Wang Yun said was good or not, these people would support it.
Seeing this, He Miao fell into deep thought. The method Wang Yun said was not impossible. Anyway, it was just a try. Now that they had nothing to do, Wang Yun's countermeasure was a good one.
"Okay, then, as you said, please Your Majesty, canonize Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, as General Wei, and lead [-] Bingzhou troops to wipe out Liu Zheng and support Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou."
After Wang Yun finished his plan, He Miao thought it over very quickly and played the little emperor.
The little emperor didn't understand anything, so he just nodded at this time, and ordered someone to draw up the imperial decree and stamp it with a seal.
But Ding Yuan alone was not enough to reassure He Miao.
"Near Nanjun, are there any other soldiers that can be mobilized?"
He Miao looked at the ministers present and asked a question.
A general under his command stood up.
"My lord, Hanzhong is very close to Nanjun, and Liu Yan, the Yizhou shepherd who went to Yizhou a few years ago, should be developing well in Yizhou at this time, and there should be tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to mobilize."
As soon as this person mentioned Liu Yan, He Miao thought of it. It was good not to mention it, but it reminded He Miao of the matter that the imperial court recruited troops and horses from various princes a year ago.
Liu Biao sent out 3 people, but Liu Yan didn't send out a single soldier. Forget it, he blocked the road to Yizhou, as if he was planning to be the emperor in Yizhou.
He Miao wanted to settle accounts with Liu Yan at that time, but the court battle was tight and there was no chance.
Now thinking of Liu Yan again, He Miao suddenly wanted to trouble Liu Yan.
"Old man Liu Yan, hurry up, send someone to talk to Liu Yan again, and ask him to send [-] troops to Nanjun to support Liu Yan. If he doesn't send troops this time, he will be punished and his Yizhou will be withdrawn. Mu, demoted to common people."
Compared with directly sending Ding Yuan to send troops, He Miao still felt that he was not very stable, and Liu Yan must have developed well in Yizhou for a few years. Miao didn't pay much attention to Liu Yan's matter.
But now that the war in the imperial court is tense, if Liu Yan doesn't make a statement, then He Miao will do whatever it takes to get rid of Liu Yan.
Apart from Liu Yan, the imperial court actually had no other troops to dispatch.The war in Jizhou is tight, and Yanzhou and Xuzhou have to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.
The rest are the soldiers and horses of Xiliang and Bingzhou.
These people from Xiliang had just surrendered, and they didn't have the trust of He Miao, so He Miao would not easily send people from Xiliang over.
So after all the calculations, only the men and horses of Dingyuan in Bingzhou can be used.
The court discussed Liu Zheng's attack for a full day. During this time, He Miao carefully calculated his own odds. Although he was afraid of Liu Zheng, the current Han court still had some majesty. , not completely afraid of Liu Zheng's army.
Moreover, the majesty of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still there, and the princes in many places still have to obey the court.
End of July 188.
After tidying up Changsha County, Liu Zheng unified the entire four counties in Jingnan. After Jingnan was opened up, Liu Zheng's troops can finally go north from Jiaozhou, and the troops annexed in Guiyang and Lingling before can also take the opportunity to occupy Changsha , use the Changsha side as the border to strictly guard against the enemies in the north.
Because there are natural dangers of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake here, you can not be afraid of people from the north. Even if people come, there are few road troops. As long as you defend the ferry and prepare some water troops, you don't have to worry too much about the troops from South County, and you can surprise them. Changsha.
Unless the opponent has enough water troops, move quickly on the river, then land elsewhere, and then attack.
However, Liu Zheng would not make such a mistake. He had nothing else under his command except that there were many sailors. After annexing several major water thieves, Liu Zheng had more than 2 sailors under his command.
These people often patrol the river. In addition to these regular water troops, there are also some small gangs of water thieves who were engaged in water thieves before. Although these people were not included by Liu Zheng, most of them were in private with Zu Lang, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai have some friendship, probably because of their eyeliner.
Since the people who fight Liu Zheng quit the ranks of water thieves, those jobs have been taken away by some small gangs of water thieves under their command. These people rely on Liu Zheng's water army. I will ignore it.
Anyway, under Liu Zheng's command, the caravan was escorted by a navy, and most of the other merchant ships were from other places, but Liu Zheng had nothing to do with it. If others wanted to grab it, Liu Zheng couldn't control it.
After Liu Zheng went to Changsha, the first thing he did was to hold another banquet in Changsha. One was to celebrate his victory and to celebrate his troops taking down Changsha County. The other was to remarry Cai Yao. There was news that Zhang Muyu was happy. Although it had been six months, Zhang Muyu did not tell Liu Zheng the news in the past few months, but waited for Zhang Zhongjing to give her a pulse before confirming it. The news reached Liu Zheng. It has been several months since the fight here.
Liu Zheng is naturally happy, he just became a father here, and he will soon become a father again.
He formally married Cai Yao into the family and became his second wife. At the same time, he told everyone that Cai Yao had already had his child, named A Dong and named Liu Zheng. After thinking about it for several days, he finally settled on a famous name.
Liu Jiang.
Ordinary is a little ordinary, but Liu Zheng didn't bother to think about the tedious matter of choosing a name, so he chose the first one from the word Jiangshan Sheji and decided it for his son.
The eldest son will be called Liu Jiang. As for Zhang Muyu's child, if it is a boy, it will be called Liu Shan, and the daughter will think about it differently.
After the matter in Changsha was over, Liu Zheng took Cai Yao back to Wu County to meet Zhang Muyu.
Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu had a good relationship, and now they are both Liu Zheng's wives, so they should live together.
At the same time, Cai Yao can also share some things about giving birth to Zhang Muyu.
Liu Zheng has been fighting outside all year round and is rarely at home. When they stay together, they can move around from time to time to ease their loneliness.
Of course, what is more important to Liu Zheng is that he was not around when Cai Yao gave birth, and if Zhang Muyu gave birth, he thought he should still be a good husband by the side.
Chapter 529 Yuan Shao's Trouble
After dealing with the matter in Changsha, Liu Zheng returned to Wu County with his own people.
Changsha has never been the center of battle. There are 1 soldiers from Gan Ning stationed in Changsha, [-] soldiers from Wenpin stationed in Yuzhang, and [-] sailors from Zu Lang staying in Dongting Lake. Changsha has no big problem.
Tai Shici's people followed Liu Zheng back to Wu County.
When Cai Yao and Zhang Muyu met again, Zhang Muyu already had a big belly, the two of them were like sisters, and there were endless things to talk about when they met, of course, most of them revolved around where they had been all these years.
The relationship between the two of them used to be good, but now that they are both married to Liu Zheng, they are naturally even closer. If Liu Zheng hadn't spoken that night, the two of them might have talked at night by candlelight, excluding Liu Zheng as a man.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to play the trick of one dragon and two phoenixes at night, but unfortunately, as soon as he saw Zhang Muyu's big belly, he knew it would not be possible. Anyway, the days are still long, and he is not in a hurry. Then he quietly slept with Zhang Muyu.
I didn't go to accompany Cai Yao that night, after all, I can't favor one person over another.
Men are tired sometimes.
Wu County in November was already a bit chilly. After half a year of fighting, the situation in Yuan Shao's Jizhou became more and more clear.
Although Lu Zhi's army was formidable and able to suppress Yuan Shao's troops in Jizhou, Yuan Shao always occupied Jizhou and Youzhou, and these two areas were full of fierce generals.
The strength of the Hebei Sitingzhu under his command is extraordinary. Yan Liangwen Chou sits in Jizhou, Zhang He Gaolan guards the center, and Lu Zhi has unnamed generals under his command.
During the several months of fighting, although they were able to use good troop deployment to attack Yuan Shao's troops, they still couldn't gain the upper hand.
After a few months, they could only start a tug-of-war with Yuan Shao's troops on the edge of Jizhou. The longer this kind of tug-of-war lasted, the lower the imperial court's confidence in Lu Zhi would be. Available, we can only rely on Lu Zhi, while putting pressure on Lu Zhi, and at the same time want to let Lu Zhi solve Yuan Shao quickly, so that Lu Zhi's troops can support Ding Yuan in Bingzhou in a short time.
Lu Zhi couldn't beat Yuan Shao, but in fact, he mainly suffered from the generals.
Apart from Gongsun Zan, he has no other important people. The Liu Bei brothers have been transferred to deal with the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. In addition, most of Yuan Shao's men are Karasuma cavalry, which come and go like the wind. It was possible to force a fight and restrain those Karasuma cavalry, but the number of Baima Yicong under Gongsun Zan's men was too few after all.
With all the fights and calculations, the number of people is less than 2000, and they may still have the power to fight against the thousands of Karasuma cavalry.
But once encountering tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, even Hakuma Yoshio has more than enough energy, and it is difficult to rely on Hakuma Yoshito to repel those Karasuma cavalry.
It was precisely because of the assistance of 10,000+ Karasuma cavalry that Yuan Shao was able to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou and Youzhou.
However, after years of fighting, the people on Yuan Shao's side still had some crises.
