Chapter 670 The news of Cao Cao's ascendance

This is an era of mutual choice. It is not that anyone who has much power will bow his head and surrender.

The world is in chaos, and people's hearts are in chaos. Not to mention those who are forced to bow their heads, are they really trustworthy even those who take the initiative to surrender?

Dong Zhuo believed in Wang Yun, and Dong Zhuo died at Wang Yun's hands; Yuan Shao trusted Xu You, and in the battle of Guandu, Xu You gave Yuan Shao the most fatal blow; Cao Cao trusted Zhang Miao, but Zhang Miao colluded with Lu Bu and almost lost the entire Yanzhou...

This is an era of conspiracy and intrigues. Dong Hu dared not trust others easily, but was willing to believe Jia Xu because he knew what another "Jia Xu" did. Even if Jia Xu was not satisfied with his lord, even if he wanted to change jobs, he did not do anything to step on his old master and get to the top. Instead, he used his talents to achieve a win-win situation.

If he is not satisfied, he will no longer give advice and act deaf and be a marginal person instead of choosing to betray or stabbing him. Dong Hu respects such a person very much, and Jia Xu is not a false kindness and righteous person. He has the pragmatism of Liangzhou people. For example, he persuades Li Jue and Guo Si to siege Chang'an. If other counselors are replaced, he may be more likely to persuade the Liangzhou army to surrender to the court, or simply leave.

Jia Xu is a poisonous man, because he helped Li Jue and Guo Si siege to Chang'an, causing the Han Dynasty to collapse. People's emotions fell on the Han Dynasty, and they sympathized with Wang Yun, the loyal minister who died for the Han Dynasty...

But he never thought about Wang Yun's idiot, arrogant, radical, and the consequences of his forced Liangzhou army to rebel. He never thought about Lu Bu was also a habitual criminal who killed his father. He never thought about two hungry wolves lying in Liangzhou. He never thought about how Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were really loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty?

Wang Yun's desire for power is no less than that of Dong Zhuo, but he even suppressed Lu Bu forever, without considering whether he could suppress Han Sui and Ma Teng killed Dong Zhuo. These rags alone were enough to destroy Chang'an again. Whether Jia Xu gave advice to Li Jue and Guo Si was the case.

Some people may object in later generations. Ma Teng was a descendant of General Fubo's general Ma Yuan, and didn't he go to Xuchang to be a hostage? Why was he not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?

Dong Hu didn't bother to explain at all. Emperor Liu Hong dared to invade Guanzhong when he was alive. After a little emperor, he turned into a loyal minister. As for Ma Teng later died at Cao Cao, wasn't it because Cao Cao was powerful? Others repeatedly scared Cao Cao to "ma" and stab him in the ass, so Cao Cao had the intention to kill Han Sui and Ma Teng.

The Qiang rebellion is an extremely strange thing. When rebelling, they must think about how to surrender. This is the sequelae of their repeated beatings by the Han Dynasty over hundreds of years.

Liangzhou was poor. When it first rebelled, it was easy to generate 100,000 or 200,000 thieves. But once they ate almost all the food they had snatched, they saw that there was no chance of rebellion, and they would part with each other. That was why there was more than 100,000 rebels in Liangzhou rebelled. After Dong Zhuo's death, Han Sui and Ma Teng had only thousands of infantry and cavalry in their hands.

Cao Cao wanted to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng, and they only had a few people in their hands. How could they do better than Cao Cao? Moreover, Han Sui and Ma Teng had to be wary of each other. Facing Cao Cao's threat, wouldn't they give up hostages? If it was just rebelling in the first year of Zhongping, or if Dong Zhuo had just died, and before Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, it would be strange if the two guys could pay attention to Cao Cao! Dong Zhuo died, and the two guys rushed into Guanzhong with their troops. Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si defeated the two.

After Li Jue and Guo Si defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng, he shocked the others in Liangzhou and failed to pour into Chang'an. However, after Li Jue and Guo Si died of internal fighting, Guanzhong became the territory of Ma Teng and more than a dozen Guanlong princes. What was the result? The result was that he was torn to the point of digging other people's graves and looking for clothes to accompany him.

Dong Buyi had the habit of scattering people's clothes on the battlefield, but he had not yet fallen to the point of scattering people's graves to find clothes on dead people. This alone knew what the disaster was like in Guanzhong after Li Jue and Guo Si's death.

Dong Hu grew up in Liangzhou since childhood and knew the reality of Liangzhou people the most. If they did not have the power to awe, how could they be honest? He who did not believe that the rebel Han Sui and Ma Teng would be a loyal and loyal minister!

The Qiang people in Liangzhou could not last long. If it weren't for the Liangzhou Geng Bi's governor that year, they could have controlled Liangzhou in the fourth year of Zhongping. However, even if Liangzhou rebelled again due to Geng Bi's stimulation, the characteristics of the rebellion that could not last long due to lack of food and cattle and sheep were still there. After Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, Han Sui Ma Teng's strength was weakened due to the dispersion of a large number of rebellions. In addition, Dong Zhuo himself was a powerful general in Liangzhou, so he personally took charge of the Wuwu to defend against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Han Sui Ma Teng in Liangzhou was suitable.

Yuwu, Meixian is almost in one place, and its strategic location is extremely important. If Yuwu is built near Chencang, if Zhang Lu wants to attack Chang'an, he can take the easier Baoxi Road to directly kill to Meixian, and cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat from behind Chencang, and all Dong Zhuo's troops are on the eastern front to defend the princes of Guandong.

There are four roads since Hanzhong entered Guanzhong. Chencang Road directly rushed to the bottom of Chencang City, Baoxi Road to the bottom of the city of Mei County, Tangluo Road and Ziwu Road can reach the back of Mei County and attack Chang'an directly, but these two roads are the most dangerous. Many areas are plank roads built on cliffs, which are stone eyes on the cliffs, insert wood, and then lay a trest bridge formed by wooden boards. After occupying Hanzhong, Zhang Lu burned these plank roads, but Chencang Road and Baoxi Road are different. These two roads are the Enchuan Avenue. If you don't pay attention, Zhang Lu may enter Guanzhong from now on.

Dong Zhuo personally took charge of the dock, Han Sui, Ma Teng and Zhang Lu could not bypass Dong Zhuo and attack Chang'an.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were not strong enough. After Dong Zhuo agreed that they occupied Liangzhou, the two of them had reconciled with Dong Zhuo. However, as a general in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo would not be relieved that the two guys suddenly stabbed their ass. Others were on the Western Front, which was likely to be unable to shock the two. After Dong Zhuo's death, the two entered Guanzhong and fought with Li Jue and Guo Si, which indirectly proved Dong Zhuo's deterrence to the two.

Dong Zhuo's deterrence is not something that can be replaced by Wang Yun. Once Dong Zhuo dies, even without Li Jue and Guo Si, Han Sui and Ma Teng, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will not be able to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, let alone Wang Yun and Wang Yun. What's more, Wang Yun wants to suppress Lu Bu, who is a habitual criminal who kills his father.

Jia Xu made a plan and was indeed qualified to be worthy of the word "poison". However, if there is any other plan, the situation in Guanzhong will be completely out of control. It was decided at the moment when Dong Zhuo died. Although Dong Zhuo did everything wrong, he was the pillar of Chang'an. After Wang Yun personally destroyed the last pillar of the court, the safe area built by Dong Zhuo was completely destroyed. The chaos in Guanzhong and the tragic war in the people became an inevitable result.

Dong Hu doesn't care whether Jia Xu is a poisonous soldier. Wang Yun is determined to kill the generals of Liangzhou. In order to survive, he can't blame others for resisting and entering Chang'an.

Life is about doing things, and it is not over to do anything you don’t want to die.

After seeing Jia Xu away, Dong Hu became a leisurely teacher under the sycamore tree in the courtyard. After learning that he had arrived in Jie County, Da Ya came over with two children. As for Kuwa, Ajie and Yaowa returned to Luoyang under the escort of soldiers.

The troops made a coercive gesture, but did not further enter Chang'an. Instead, they shouted and killed in the military camp all day long. If the soldiers did not train hard and consumed their remaining energy, they could cause some unexpected things. Dong Hu himself could be lazy and sigh, but he could not let the soldiers below be traitorous and slutty.

Men are lazy, women are busy all day long, but Da Ya doesn't even say a word of complaint, as if she is willing to be lazy.

From time to time, some generals came, but soon left the ordinary farmyard. He was lazy to teach the children to study. The soldiers practiced murder in the camp all day long, but the outside world was in chaos.

As Dong Hu had inferred before, in April and May, before the wheat ripened, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou entered Yanzhou, like a rolling snowball, with a terrifying number of millions. First, they entered Jibei Kingdom. Before they reached the front, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, took the lead in fleeing south.

After the Sourzao Alliance, the first battle in Xingyang between the princes and Dong Zhuo and Dong Hu was Bao Xin, Cao Cao and Wei Zi. Xu Rong won a great victory in this battle. Wei Zi died. Cao Cao was almost captured alive and 30,000 troops were wiped out.

In this battle, Wei Zi had the largest number of troops, and he dared to fight, followed by Cao Cao's five thousand soldiers, and Wei Zi had three thousand soldiers, plus 10,000 people who transported food, and 30,000 people were wiped out.

There are 250,000 people in the five cities of Jibei Kingdom, with a total of 250,000 people. After one battle, the 10,000 soldiers recruited were wiped out, and Wei Zi lost his strength. Even if he forced his recruitment, his soldiers' quality was the same as those of the cowardly people. Facing the millions of Yellow Turban Army under Mount Tai, he would not run away... looking for death?

Wei Zi fled to Changyi, and after millions of Yellow Turban troops swept across Jibei, he went south again to sweep across Dongping and Rencheng...

The prime minister of Rencheng, Zheng Sui, was killed, and the governor of the state Liu Dai wanted to lead troops to fight. Bao Xin persuaded him that the thieves had no food and entered Yanzhou just to steal food. They just wanted to hold on to the city and wait for the thieves to get out of the food.

Bao Xin's persuasion was not at fault. Millions of thieves piled up Liu Dai to death, but when was this? It was April and May when the wheat was about to mature, everyone was hiding in the city. The million Yellow Turban Army might not be able to break the Changyi city, but it could cut all the food outside the city. Then would the major families be willing?

Among the various princes who rebelled, Yanzhou had the most princes. The major families supported them to rebel and lost countless food. However, Bao Xin told them that they didn’t want the food outside the city, so they let countless thieves take sickles to harvest. Are you willing?

Liu Dai led his troops to fight, but was defeated and killed. The entire Yanzhou was frightened. Bao Xin, Wan Qian, and others from Yanzhou were elected as the governor of Yanzhou and presided over the clearance of the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou...

When the Da Ya spread the news that "Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was killed in battle, and Cao Cao succeeded as the governor of Yanzhou" to Dong Hu, he ignored the children's eyes and held his face and observed it for a while.

"How did your husband know that Liu Dai would die? How did you know that Cao Cao would definitely become the governor of Yanzhou?"

...

"Calculation of the outcome of a war is a complex issue, and it is often impossible to look at the number. Last year, the 300,000 Qingzhou troops were defeated by Gongsun Zan and 20,000 people, which is a typical example of the battle."
