Time flies, and a year flies by. During this period, Zhang Yan, who stayed in Montenegro, put He Sian in the front desk and retreated behind the scenes. Everyone was dissatisfied at first, but He Sian used reason, lured him with benefits, and moved out the hermit Tong Yuan. When the master came to teach the young man how to perform marksmanship, everyone accepted the new young leader.
A few days later, He Sian proposed to find a way out for everyone and cleared everyone's identities. Everyone was even more convinced. After all, no one wanted to be a bandit for the rest of his life, not to mention the future future of his children, etc., which could all be solved at the same time. . And He Sian and Niu Niu finally got married, and they got married under the witness of everyone, which completely tied the interests of the Black Mountain Army and He Sian together. So far, everyone has no objection to the new leader.
After the marriage, He Sian met Yu Du and Zang Ba respectively. The first time he saw Yu Du, He Sian clearly felt that he had a sense of déjà vu with Zhang Fei and Li Kui. However, this person was also very forthright and could indeed be trusted as Zhang Yan said. , As for Zang Ba, who also has a place in the novel, just looking at his demeanor, if it were not for the lack of beard, Zang Ba in green would be a proper Guan Erye. He Sian even complained in his heart, Zhang Yan, Zang Ba, Yu Du These three people have the potential to become a beggars version of the Three Taoyuan Brothers.
Zang Ba, who was originally unruly and unruly, also criticized the new leader. However, after learning about He Sian's identity, his attitude changed 180°. After all, Zang Ba was originally forced to become a bandit. How could he compare to following He Sian to fight for hegemony in the world as a bandit all his life? Moreover, by following He Sian, he now has the merit of following the dragon. Even if he dies in battle, his family and descendants can enjoy it. After seeing his performance, He Si'an realized that although he had integrated the memories of this life, he still underestimated the importance that people of this era placed on identity. Of course, Zhang Yan's mentality is probably the same as Zang Ba's.
While the Black Mountain Army was migrating, earth-shaking changes also occurred in the outside world. Han Fu, the former governor of Jizhou, was killed when he went out for an appointment. According to Yuan Shao, it was Liaodong Gongsun Zan who united with the Black Mountain Army. The purpose was to get involved in Jizhou. Although there were discerning people. They all had doubts about Yuan Shao's words, but after all, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family were deeply rooted in Hebei. Soon, in the name of wiping out the remnants, they successfully took over the territory occupied by Han Fu, and declared themselves to be the governor of the state. Liaodong and Montenegro where He Sian is located. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also felt the pressure. Although he felt it was inappropriate, he still sent envoys to join forces with Zhang Yan to resist the powerful Yuan Shao. The Montenegrin Army was naturally happy to join forces with Gongsun Zan. After all, the longer the war dragged on, the better it would be for the immigration strategy. When Yuan Shao learned of the news, he even publicized it and confirmed that Gongsun Zan and the Montenegrin Army jointly killed Han Fu, making It was justifiable to send troops, but the friction between the three parties continued, and the war was about to break out.
On the other hand, after Cao Cao won back Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he quickly moved his capital to Xuchang. This move won strong support from the Yingchuan clan. All major clans sent their children to join them. Originally, he had Guo Jia and Liu Ye. Among the outstanding intellectuals, there are now Chen Qun, a young and mature member of the Chen family, Xun You, an old and mature member of the Xun family who seeks the country, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew who are known to have the talents of Wang Zuo, Zhong Yao, a talented person from the Zhong family, etc., as well as people from the same country. Yu Jin, Le Jin and other outstanding warriors also took the initiative to rush into Cao Cao's tent!
On the other hand, Cao Cao took charge of Sikong and served as the shepherd of Yanzhou, and began to issue various political orders in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He even sent Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc. of his own clan to recruit soldiers and form an army. He also recruited Yu Jin, Le Jin, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other people with outstanding military strength!
At this time, Cao Cao has become the powerful enhanced version of Dong Zhuo 2.0.
The relationship between Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Jian in Changsha became increasingly tense. In order to avoid a recurrence of what happened to Han Fu and Yuan Shao, he wanted to join forces with Liu Yao, the prefect of Jianye, to attack Sun Jian. However, he did not take action yet because of the lack of reputation.
Although Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, it borders the Southern Barbarians, and wars continue.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court at this moment still exists in name only, and the originally prosperous Yongzhou is even more empty. Even Emperor Xian is just a tool in Cao Cao's hands, so a group of princes are expanding their own strength while also sending out The spies were paying attention to the movements of all forces, but everyone tacitly ignored one place... Xiliang.
At this time, Xiliang was in chaos. After Dong Zhuo fell, his Xiliang army was divided into three forces: Li Jue, Lu Bu, and Fan Chou.
Since Guo Si was killed by Lu Bu, Li Jue quickly integrated Guo Si's tribe with the most ferocious momentum, quickly occupying Yong and Liang states, while Lu Bu led his troops and Li Ru to quickly integrate the remaining tribes loyal to Dong Zhuo to form a second force Launched a counterattack against Li Jue and took the opportunity to occupy the entire Longxi County. The third force was a group of people led by Dong Zhuo's general Fan Chou. This group of people had just finished conquering the Huns' rebellion. When he came back, he found that Dong Zhuo had been killed by Li Jue. Taking advantage of the stalemate between Li Jue's main forces and Lu Bu, he took the opportunity to capture most of Yongzhou, and ordered his general Zhang Ji to garrison Chang'an, while he moved into Luoyang. And guard Hulao Pass. Its purpose is also very simple. At this time, the world is in chaos. Whether it is Lu Bu, Li Jue or even Zhang Ye and Ma Teng, it is an internal matter of the Liangzhou Army. As long as Luoyang is defended, it can prevent the Central Plains forces from reaping the benefits. In this regard , both Lu Bu and Li Jue naturally agreed.
In addition to the three parties originally under Dong Zhuo, the most embarrassing people in Liangzhou were Ma Teng and Han Sui. Previously, when the Yellow Turban Army broke out in the Central Plains, these two people also joined the counter-rebellion team. Later, Dong Zhuo came to power. Since he came out of Xiliang with the two of them, he recruited him, and the two of them happily agreed. However, in their beautiful vision for the future, what was waiting for them was not the Liangzhou shepherd that Dong Zhuo had promised before, but The news of Dong Zhuo's murder did not wait for the two of them to think too much when they ushered in Li Jue's army. They were forced to retreat westward and were about to be forced to leave Yanmen Pass in the west and flee outside the Great Wall.
But at this time, Dong Zhuo's remaining troops, led by Lu Bu, Li Ru and others, fought back hard, and Li Jue had to return his troops to meet the enemy. Ma Teng and Han Sui also discovered this fighter opportunity, and immediately returned their troops to attack, and finally recaptured Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places. But just when they were about to go all out, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang tribe, suddenly sent troops, which forced Ma Teng and Han Sui to After returning to defend, they saw the war in Xiliang. Although the Xiaoyue clan, a branch of the Qiang tribe, only had a population of more than 10,000, they were ready to take action and soon sent troops to seize the military capital with ten rooms and nine empty rooms. War broke out throughout Liangzhou, and local clans petitioned the Xuchang court to send troops to quell the chaos. However, at this time, Cao Cao had just taken charge of the government and was in a period of rapid development. He had no time to deal with the mess in Xiliang, so it was just a symbolic act. He issued a document calling on Hanzhong to send troops to quell the rebellion, but Zhang Lu immediately issued a statement stating that the Qiang, Di and other foreign tribes around Hanzhong were rebelling, and Hanzhong was currently too busy to take care of itself.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Cao Cao had no choice but to send his general Xia Houyuan to start a war with Fan Chou, one of the Xiliang warlords who occupied most of Yongzhou. Fan Chou led his troops to personally guard Hulao Pass. The two sides fell into a confrontation and seemed to have reached a certain agreement. There was a tacit understanding, and despite the constant harassment, they had no real plans to send troops. At this time, neither Lu Bu, Li Ru, nor Li Jue wanted Fan Chou to get involved, and Fan Chou seemed to have no intention of participating in the civil strife in Xiliang, and just silently confronted Cao Cao. This was a disaster for the people and clans of Xiliang. After the Xiliang clan found that the imperial court could not count on them, they took their family members and local heroes and fled to Hanzhong, which was closest to Yongliang Prefecture.
