The peace talks went smoothly, and the military order issued by Li Ru also went smoothly. After hearing this, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si and others were all grateful to Dong Zhuo.

Make up for it and you won’t have to die!

It is certain that he will not die. Niu Fu continues to stay in Hedong County, assisting Anyi City, and guarding against the continued invasion of Bingzhou Army and Baibo Army. The army he leads still has nearly 30,000 to 40,000 troops, including the defeated soldiers who have gathered back, and the plunderers.

A young man recruited from the village.

Because of this, Dong Zhuo did not send more troops to Niu Fu because Niu Fu stated in the military information reported that although he was defeated by the Bingzhou Army, he later fought with the Baibo Army for a long time and defeated small groups of Baibo Army many times.

Of course, the Baibo Army occupied the three cities of Linfen, Jiangyi and Wenxi, but this was a concession that Niu Fu had to make when being pursued by the Bingzhou Army, otherwise the troops would all be wiped out.

Niu Fu's military intelligence was mixed between true and false. It was true that he was defeated by the Bingzhou Army, but falsely it was that the strong men he brought were used as prisoners obtained by defeating the Baibo Army. This kind of military intelligence made Niu Fu

Having saved his life, Dong Zhuo still had considerable trust in him. The troops continued to be led by him, and the territory continued to be defended by him. There were no reinforcements anyway. If the Bingzhou Army or the Baibo Army caused trouble again, Niu Fu would have to bite the bullet and fight against it.

Dong Zhuo's intention to use Niu Fu is obvious. He reused Niu Fu to let Niu Fu continue to work for him. Niu Fu needed a backer and had to continue to work for Dong Zhuo.

Niu Fu's life was sealed, but Li Jue, Guo Si and others were sent back to Luoyang by Dong Zhuo. After all, the princes of the Central Plains were gathering, and Dong Zhuo needed to ensure that there were enough generals under his command to work for him.

Compared with Niu Fu who sticks to Hedong County, Li Jue, Guo Si and others are undoubtedly lucky. As for how lucky they are! For them, as long as they don't stay in Hedong County, they are lucky.

The situation in Hedong County is chaotic. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bingzhou Army is now the dominant force. If Liu Bian wants to continue the attack, neither Niu Fu Army nor Bai Bo Army can resist it. It can be seen from this that Niu Fu Army and Bai Bo Army

The soldiers and soldiers still feel a bit like each other. They think that the current situation is gradually stabilizing and their own safety is guaranteed. In fact, Liu Bian just left them a glimmer of hope!

Let us say that after Li Ru led his troops, Li Jue, Guo Si and others returned to Luoyang to report to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo sent an order to Niu Fu to shrink the defense line and gave up Beiqu City and Duanshi City. So Xu Huang led the Jianqiang Army

He occupied Beiqu City, while Gao Lan led the Longbow Army to occupy Duanshi City. At this point, Liu Bian built a defense line with the four cities of Beiqu, Pingyang, Xiangling, and Duanshi. The four cities were connected to a line and were garrisoned by three major military headquarters.

Hedong County was split apart.

Three major military headquarters, 60,000 soldiers, three generals, two military advisors, and one special battalion. Such a military lineup was enough to stabilize Hedong County. Dong Zhuo always regretted it later, and supplementing the counterattack could not stir up any trouble.

Of course, Dong Zhuo would not regret it. He now wished that there was no war in Hedong County. The princes of the Central Plains were making trouble, and Dong Zhuo had no time to spare. Giving up the two cities of Beiqu and Duanshi was an insignificant matter to Dong Zhuo. Niu Fu was already behind him anyway.

Withdraw, the defense line was much shortened, and the two cities of Beiqu and Duanshi were not within Niu Fu's defense line at all. In addition, the Baibo Army was also eyeing it. Dong Zhuo felt that it would be beneficial for him to have a conflict between the Bingzhou Army and the Baibo Army, and the Beibo Army

The two cities of Qu and Duan were the bait. But Dong Zhuo didn't know that the Bai Bo Army was wearing the same pants as the Bingzhou Army this time. It was good that the two armies would not cause trouble with each other, and maybe they could continue to join forces to fight against the Niu Auxiliary Army.

Of course this possibility is relatively small.

In short, Dong Zhuo gave up the two cities of Beiqu and Duanshi. He may be unwilling to do so, but he is unable to do what he wants.

.

As you get older and have a rich night life, it is normal for your body to be weak. After all, Dong Zhuo is also a human being, and no matter how tyrannical he is, he is just a human being. But Liu Bian is different. Although he is also a human being, he is an immortal!

Dong Zhuo wanted to surrender two cities, so Niu Fu naturally had no objections, and he did not dare to have any objections. Niu Fu, who was huddled in Anyi City, seemed to have lost his temper, mainly because he was afraid that he would be beaten if he had a temper!

"Now that the situation in Hedong County is stable, His Highness can indeed leave."

At the gate of the camp, Zhang He, Tian Feng and others saw Liu Bian off. Calculating carefully, the battle in Hedong County did not last long. The Bingzhou Army marched quickly and fought blitzes, and the trend of attacking the city was overwhelming.

Many of them surrendered directly, and the three major military headquarters did not suffer much loss. Afterwards, the Bai Bo Army entered the scene, Niu Fu Army was defeated, and the war was temporarily over. At this point, Liu Bian also planned to make the next step.

The purpose of doing things in Hedong County was just to attract the attention of Dong Zhuo and the princes in the world, and to add fuel to the fire to the alliance of princes. This was not Liu Bian's original intention.

The attack in the east and in the west has been carried out. Now it is time to attack in the west. Liu Bian has to quietly withdraw from Hedong County.

"Everyone, the war here depends on you!" Liu Bian said to everyone, cupping his hands.

"We will live up to His Highness's trust!" everyone replied in unison.

Liu Bian did not take away any of the three major military headquarters. He only took away Chen Dao and his own barracks. The place he was going to next was Youzhou. Liu Yu, the herdsman of Youzhou, was naturally Liu Bian's main strategy target.

Of course, before going to Youzhou, Liu Bian had to go back to Bingzhou. He had to make adequate preparations. Some people and some things had to be prepared to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. These were all inevitable. Sharpening the knife

Don't miss the woodcutter.

Leaving aside Liu Bian's journey, He Anna had already joined the princes in Suanzao County early, but the establishment of the alliance had only just been officially concluded.

Let us say that this time the princes gathered nineteen Route armies. The first Route Army was Cao Cao, the commander of the Xiaoqi School, the second Route Army was Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, the third Route Army was Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, the fourth Route Army Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao,

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou of the Fifth Route Army, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun of the Sixth Route Army, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang of the Seventh Route Army, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei of the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling of the Ninth Route Army.

These nine troops are stationed in Suanzao County on the southeast side of Luoyang City. Originally, there was another army in the history of Hezhong Prefecture Zhang Yang, but now Zhang Yang serves as the prefect of Wuyuan County under Liu Bian. Without Liu Bian's order, he cannot dispatch any troops at all.

Soldiers and horses, and besides, there are already troops dispatched from Bingzhou, so there is no need for prefects like Zhang Yang to come forward.

Kong Yu, the governor of Yuzhou of the Tenth Route Army, stationed troops in Yingchuan County, southeast of Luoyang City.

The 11th Route Army of Xiliang Huaili Hou Ma Teng stationed troops in Yanchuan County, northwest of Luoyang City.

Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai of the Twelfth Route Army, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou of the Thirteenth Route Army, merged and stationed troops in Xingyang County, east of Luoyang City.

The 14th Route Army Jizhou Mu Han Fu stationed troops in Lingchuan County, east of Luoyang.

General Yuan Shu of the Fifteenth Route Army stationed troops in Luyang County, south of Luoyang City.

Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha of the Sixteenth Route Army, went north from Changsha. After defeating Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, who had defected to Dong Zhuo, he joined Yuan Shu in Luyang County.

The 17th Route Army was led by Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Peking, who came from Liaodong with 15,000 elite troops. When Gongsun Zan passed by the outskirts of Pingyuan County, he happened to meet Liu Bei, the magistrate of Pingyuan County of the 18th Route Army. When they were young, the two of them worshiped Lu Zhi at the same time.

Teachers still have the friendship of classmates. 1.

After some pleasantries, the two armies rushed to Suanzao County at the same time to join the alliance.

Logically speaking, the princes who came to the alliance were not governors of Zhoumu, but at least governors. Liu Bei was just a small county magistrate. He couldn't hold an official position alone, but he had an army of 10,000 people. Zhang Yan,

Yu Du followed the army, and the rest of the troops stayed in Pingyuan County. Their strength should not be underestimated.

The 19th Route Army was He An, the lieutenant general of the Bingzhou Army. He, Guo Jia, and Guan Yu led an army of 20,000 swords and shields to Suanzao County for an alliance.

Liu Bian assigned He An the military position of Zhonglang General before he set off. The purpose was obvious, which was to improve his status. A man who left Bingzhou could not remain a partial captain!

The military rank of General Zhonglang is not low, which is in line with He An's status. After all, he has 20,000 sword shield troops to support him. In addition, Liu Bian's face is also able to gain popularity among the princes.

Eleven troops from Suanzao County have arrived, and each has set up camp. They are connected end to end for more than a mile. It can be seen that the momentum is huge, the army is magnificent, and the world's capable people and lofty ideals gather together. For a time, there is a turmoil, and the scene is rare for a while.

The nineteen princes have arrived. Naturally, they have to exchange greetings first. Business nonsense and other things are indispensable. Banquets and other things have to be put on. The crusade against Dong Zhuozhi has been put aside in advance. Everyone has to put on a good show.

stand up.

During the banquet, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, said: Let's raise an army to conquer the fat man Dong Zhuo. The princes from all walks of life have also gathered together, so we should first choose an alliance leader. This will facilitate the unified management of the army and give orders to the heroes, and then we can advance the army.

Cao Cao thought this was a good idea, so he first recommended Yuan Shao. The Yuan Shao family was the fourth generation and the third prince. The Yuan family had always been the guarantee for the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and its strength was extraordinary. Cao Cao had been hanging out with Yuan Shao for a long time.

Scratching, these two people often got into trouble in Luoyang when they were young. Fighting and making troubles were just childish. They even snatched other people's brides together, which was quite a feat. Of course, they didn't succeed in snatching it.

Cao Cao recommended Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao naturally had to be humble. I don't want it. I can't do it. Don't be like this. Yuan Shao's humble words are so coherent.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shao can take the position of leader of the alliance, and then realize his ambition of becoming a civilized martial artist, invincible in battles, and unifying the world for thousands of years. It is a pity that there are people present who are not inferior to Yuan Shao in strength, such as He An.

.

Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, said: I think He An can also be the leader of the alliance! He came on behalf of the King of Hebei, and the King of Hebei fought the war beautifully in Hedong County. In terms of strength alone, none of you here

He is more powerful than the King of Hebei! Although He An is not the King of Hebei, he represents the King of Hebei, and we still have to give him face.

The honest He An just wanted to be a quiet and beautiful man. He came here to form an alliance and conquer Dong Zhuo, but in fact he just wanted to kill Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang.

, As for being the leader of the alliance, He An has no interest at all. In comparison, he feels that the plate of bacon in front of him is much more interesting than the leader of Niao Shizi.

"I don't want it, I can't, don't do this." He An took out Yuan Shao's three rebuttals first, and the tone must be set, "If Mr. Bian were here, you would be the leader of the alliance, and I would not agree to it.

But Mr. Bian is not here, so any of you can be the one, but I won’t be the one anyway."

He An is very self-aware. Of course, it is more because he does not want to work hard. In the eyes of He An, being the leader of the alliance is just a false position. Apart from being able to use chicken feathers as command arrows, there are no big benefits, so now he is looking at it.
