Just as the world was changing, Liangzhou on the other side was also quietly changing.
In Yunwu County, Jincheng County, the tribute team is getting ready to go.
Chang'an Dong Zhuo died and the great man came back to life. This kind of thing is not a happy thing for some people, but for others, this is an excellent thing.
Especially for those whose dreams have not yet been shattered.
On the city wall of Yunwu County, Liu Xuande and Ma Teng, who are now responsible for presiding over major events in Jincheng County, stood in this position for the second time, looking into the distance.
"Brother Shoucheng, I still remember that the last time we stood here, it was because General Gongsun refused to come in."
At this time, Liu Bei looked into the distance and suddenly sneered, "General Gongsun suddenly received a letter these days, asking me to do something in his name.
At the same time...it is said that General Gongsun seems to have acquired the status of a talented person.
I really didn't expect that General Gongsun, who was already a county guard, could still be recommended like this. "
Liu Bei's words made Ma Teng on the side burst into laughter, and at the same time hearty laughter also appeared on the other side.
If Gongsun Zhu and others were here, they would definitely feel extremely familiar and warm.
The person who laughed together was Jian Yong, who was beside Liu Bei. He was also one of Gongsun Zhu's favorite people. He was humorous and quite capable, and he was able to make the atmosphere harmonious.
This is really not easy for Gongsun Zhu, who is struggling in Jingzhou.
But after laughing, Jian Yong changed his tone and said, "It's just that Liu Jingsheng just used his talent to satisfy General Gongsun's huge appetite. I'm afraid it won't work."
At this time, Jian Yong grinned, and his words seemed to contain all kinds of information.
Although Gongsun Zhu said in his letter that he was good at everything, he had a strong army in Jingzhou, the people respected him in Deng County, the soldiers trusted him, and he got along very happily with Liu Jingzhou.
By the way, he was asked to give Liu Jingzhou's eldest son Liu Qi a filial piety in return for Liu Biao.
It can be said that today's Gongsun Zhu has completely reported good things but not bad things.
But none of the guys in Jincheng County are human beings, and most of them are old men who have been fighting with Gongsun Zhu for many years.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei and others still don't know what kind of character Gongsun Zhu is?
Except for the few new recruits, the rest can be regarded as old friends who have watched Gongsun Zhu come to this point.
How could they not know the temper of their own prince? They took Guan Yu and ran away without even entering the house.
Liu Bei couldn't help laughing when he heard the news, and he couldn't help but sigh, "This General Gongsun...did he learn how to stay out of the house after just one trip?"
This sentence has now become a joke in Yongliang. Everyone knows that Gongsun Zhu, the governor of Jincheng County, refused to enter the house three times for the sake of the world and future of this big man. By the way, he also took away countless grains from the Hanyang governor.
As soon as the letter from Gongsun Zhu came some time ago, the faces of Liu Bei, Ma Teng and others immediately turned dark.
He was not familiar with Liu Biao, and this so-called clan brother was not from the same clan as him, but there was one person who was familiar with Liu Biao, and that was Liu Yan, a famous scholar from the State of Lu.
After Liu Yan mentioned the temperament of the governor of Jingzhou, everyone's expressions became even more gloomy.
They didn't want to know about the grievances between Liu Jingsheng and Gongsun Zhu, but Liu Bei didn't want to forget it.
This time the tribute was a plan proposed by the new defector. The purpose seemed to be tribute, but it was to go to Chang'an to rescue those few people and at the same time go to Jingzhou to cheer for their prince and general.
"Xianhe." Liu Bei watched the tribute team completely disappear from his eyes, and then he called Jian Yong again, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
It can be heard that Liu Bei still has plans later and is still so worried. After all, the person in charge of this matter is a newcomer.
Although Liu Bei trusted him, he really didn't understand him.
"Don't worry Xuande, even if you don't know him well, you don't know Yan Gong and Cheng Gongying. He can be praised by Yan Gong and admired by that boy Cheng Gongying, so he is quite capable.
Even Zitai said that he was talented, but Xuande was rest assured. "
After hearing this, Liu Bei could only nod silently in the end, "That's all it can do. It's a pity that General Gongsun is wandering in the Central Plains with not many people to help him. Although Yun Chang is brave, he is still alone.
Ma Chao was too young to hold a big position. Even when he was just stable, the general was still worried about the war in the northwest and sent back Guo Rang, Cheng Gongying and Zi Jing, but he was reckless. "
Jian Yong just smiled helplessly after hearing this. He had heard these words countless times recently.
Jian Yong never married, and had always lived in Liu Bei's back house, and was a neighbor to Zhang Fei, who also enjoyed eating and drinking.
For more than half a year, Liu Bei's back house has been filled with this kind of noise. There are constant sighs and sighs. Liu Xuande and his dignified wife are a married couple outside who show no emotion at all.
When there was no need to hide anymore, all he could do was sigh at his wife, as if he was trying to steal someone's family property!
To be honest, Liu Bei wanted to have a career, but in this situation...he had no right to do so, if he just took Jincheng County as his own.
It was like he had lost all his virtue.
Therefore, Liu Bei was more cautious, fearing that he would be criticized by others.
I heard that Zhang Fei recently took the initiative to invite Ying to team up with Cheng Gongying to defeat Han Sui.
During this period of Gongsun Zhu's absence, Liu Bei, who was temporarily in charge of major affairs, was not idle. Even though Jincheng County was not big, the land was considered barren. There were Qiang Hu and Xianbei and Xiongnu who occasionally appeared in the autumn wind.
But this is a critical place after all.
In the past few years, Liu Bei had the opportunity to bring his soldiers and horses to sweep away all the forces under Jincheng County, and joined forces with Ma Teng.
One is prestigious and understands his thoughts, and the other is kind enough and has the air of an elder.
In the words of Gongsun Zhu, if you are obedient, then we will convince others with your virtue. If you are disobedient, see which of these people looks like the one who can convince others with your virtue.
Many Qianghu either choose to flee thousands of miles away, or choose to live as ordinary people in Jincheng County.
When it is time to herd cattle, when it is time to serve in the army, and if you abide by the laws and regulations, everyone will live in peace.
As much grain as can be grown on the barren land, if it is not enough, borrow it from Hanyang County.
Of course, Liu Bei was not an unreasonable person. He constantly calmed down the Qiang and Hu in many counties and counties, and then took them to other places to conquer foreign tribes and rebellions.
Yongliang has been very lively in the past few years, especially after Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo left. It was a chaotic dance of demons, and there was no need to worry about no war.
In this constant battle, two forces emerged in the land of Yongliang.
One is Liu Bei and Fu Xie, who is stationed in Jincheng County and is connected with Hanyang County. He seems to occupy the largest and most prosperous area in Liangzhou.
But because of their relationship with Dong Zhuo, they were constantly suppressed.
Dong Zhuo did not dare to attack Liu Bei for various reasons, but he continued to separate Hanyang County for two consecutive years.
First, the three counties of Bidao, Xinxing and Zhongtao were separated and turned into Nan'an County. There was not much place, but the territory was not small.
Later, the four counties of Shanggui, Qingshui, Hankai and Mianzhudao were separated and became Yongyang County.
In this way, together with the previously dismantled Longxi County, these three places successfully opened the road from Hanyang County to Liangzhou and released the land where Jincheng County is located.
Let Yongliang be connected together again.
The advantage of doing this is not to allow the caravans from the Western Regions to enter Chang'an, nor to make the people of Liangzhou more attracted to the Han Dynasty, because no one will stop these people from entering Chang'an whether they want to.
The biggest advantage of doing this is that a guy who is more powerful than Liu Bei and others appears in the land of Yongliang.
Han Sui, General Polu and Governor of Longxi County.
This guy has always been known for rebelling and then surrendering. In his early years, Huangfu Song beat him so hard that he fled as embarrassed as his third grandson. Even Liu Bei almost killed him.
However, he completely surrendered to the imperial court in these years. With the support of Dong Zhuo, he continued to make friends with many heroes in the Yongliang land and subdued various Qiang and Hu tribes and even many horse thieves and bandits that roamed the Qiang and Hu lands.
Shengsheng connected his power to most of the Yongliang land.
Except for Jiuquan, Zhangye and Xihe, the three counties in Liangzhou that were outnumbered by clan forces, all others including Wuwei were headed by Han Sui.
Nan'an County, Longxi County and Yongyang County even vaguely surrounded Hanyang County.
Liu Bei was forced to put Zhao Yun and Tian Chou directly in Hanyang County after Guan Yu left to prevent problems.
But as Han Sui's strength grew, the pressure on Liu Bei also increased. In the end, Yan Zhong, who had been hiding in Jincheng County, couldn't stand it anymore and came directly to Liu Bei to recommend several people to him.
One of them is Cheng Gongying, who is now Liu Beiyi's confidant.
The junior official in Jincheng was quite talented and learned. Yan Zhong spoke highly of Cheng Gongying. At the same time, Liu Bei also liked this young man very much when he saw him.
This is also Liu Bei's current division of troops.
Among them, Ma Teng and Zhang Fei merged into Gongying to protect Jincheng County, and at the same time cleaned up the surrounding Qiang Hu and horse bandits to protect the territory and the people.
At the same time, it also suppressed those forces in Liangzhou that were interested in Han Sui.
Zhao Yun, his deputy general Cheng Yi, and military advisor Tian Chou assisted Fu Xie in garrisoning Hanyang County to ensure the safety of the road from Jincheng County to Sanfu.
When necessary, let them have the ability to quickly send troops and three auxiliaries to enter Chang'an.
At the same time, beware of Han Sui in Longyou and Fan Chou and others in Sanfu.
In fact, Liu Bei's life has not been easy these years. The Huns, Qianghu and Xianbei before, and now Han Sui and others, have never made Liu Bei feel safe again.
After the accident happened in Chang'an, Liu Bei should be the one who got the news the fastest, but when he was already ready to pay homage to His Majesty in person and take the initiative to return Yongliang to the court.
But at this moment, he was interrupted by the latest person recommended by Yan Zhong, who was asked to wait and see what happened and be ready to pay tribute, but not to go to Chang'an in person.
Liu Bei originally sneered at this suggestion, but he never expected that the news from Jingzhou would come immediately.
This time, the man seized the opportunity. In this case, it was better to take this opportunity to send someone to Jingzhou. He was willing to go to Jingzhou in person to recruit a group of forces for their prince and help them secretly.
Liu Bei also had to be a little impatient due to various reasons. He just didn't want this guy to always persuade him not to go to Chang'an in front of him, so he simply left the matter to him.
Liu Bei of Yongliang and Gongsun Zhu of Jingzhou...both master and slave are busy preparing for many things, and are ready to show their ambitions after the spring of the second year.
And just when the summer of the third year of Zhongping passed quietly, a big change that once again affected the world occurred in Chang'an.
And this change made countless people in the world shocked, angry and sighing.
In fact, this incident can be said to have caused the big man to lose his last vitality.
In July of the third year of Zhongping, Li Jue, who had returned from the war, met Li Ru, who had come from afar, and learned of the shocking changes in Chang'an.
Then under Li Ru's persuasion, he angrily raised his troops and rushed to Chang'an, overwhelming Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo.
This time, almost all the Xiliang soldiers were dispatched, once again showing how majestic the Liangzhou army was that once conquered the world with all its strength.
Outside Chang'an City...or rather outside Jingzhao County, Li Jue and Guo Si, who were just Xiliang captains before, had already set off.
Not only them, but other Xiliang troops stationed outside have slowly rushed over.
Li Jue and Guo Si were not generals in the Xiliang army, but they were captains of the Xiliang army. They were somewhat famous for their bravery.
But...because of the stupidity and escape of their leader Niu Fu, they directly occupied Niu Fu's forces and successfully replaced them.
He directly became the leader among the remaining Xiliang troops.
Now, with the help of Li Ru, many generals and soldiers have been gathered together.
In addition to his old partner Guo Si, there are also Xiliang generals such as Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, uncle and nephew, etc. It can be said that the momentum is slowly growing.
At this time, the court was also involved in a fierce quarrel. Now facing Li Jue, Guo Si and the Xiliang rebels, who should be the commander-in-chief.
Among them, the one with the highest voice is naturally Lu Bu. After all, as an old rival of the Xiliang Army, Lu Bu is enough to lead an army in terms of status and reputation.
However, this proposal still failed to pass with Wang Yun.
It's not that he thinks Lu Bu is bad, he just simply... doesn't trust him!
Lu Bu is very brave, and these people's suggestion to use Lu Bu as the main general is also very good, but that is Lu Bu. Let's not talk about Lu Bu's prestige, let's talk about what Lu Bu drove out during this time.
He betrayed his master many times, even the last time he helped him Wang Yun, but Wang Yun still couldn't believe that he was a general from the frontier.
Well... Although Wang Yun was also from Bingzhou, he used this background to gain his trust.
But Wang Yun just didn't trust Lu Bu.
It even seemed that in order to appease Lu Bu who had not spoken, he gave Lu Bu a perfect reason!
"Marquis Wen is brave and his Majesty's confidant. He should not leave Chang'an lightly. He should lead the soldiers of Bingzhou to guard Chang'an City."
As for Wang Yun's reason...what can he say?
As soon as these words were said, many people had strange expressions on their faces.
The reason is naturally very simple. There is a saying in the capital of Guizhou Province among the people who have no skills and knowledge, which is, if you have never seen pork, how can you still not see pigs running?
Even if the Gonggun princes in this dynasty have never been on the battlefield, how can they not have seen a war in the past few years?
In recent years, the turmoil in the world has almost caught up with that of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Even the courtiers who died in the past few years are about to catch up with the big man who was killed by the imperial court hundreds of years ago.
Their salary from the imperial court feels a bit hot, let alone other things?
Therefore, as long as these people can survive to this day, none of them can speak from experience.
They really want to ask this big man Situ Gong and Wang Yun who just let... speak, when have you ever seen cavalry guarding the city? Isn't this a bastard?
How did you make this decision?
Where are the elite infantry under Bingzhou's command? It's the cavalry that he relies on!
It's just that at this time, everyone in the court who was qualified to persuade him shut their mouths. As a famous general of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, the chariot general, said nothing. At this time, he may have already treated the world and the world. The court completely lost faith.
Even Wang Yun had long lost confidence and ideas in him.
As for the other Fenwei general, Lu Fengxian, he also closed his eyes and rested at this time.
Looking at the sparkling corners of his mouth, you can tell that he is not thinking about war now.
Even...he didn't hear what those people just said!
As for Yang Biao and the others, they can no longer compare with Wang Yun, at least in terms of war.
Wang Yun said that he, Wang Yun, had the power to kill Dong Zhuo. In order to kill the national traitor, he did not know how much effort he put in and how much effort he spent!
He endured the humiliation and put in countless efforts, but what do these guys, these guys who only talk nonsense, have?
They have no merit, so why should they talk about themselves?
Just these words, even if they are not spoken, Wang Yun can make everyone feel it.
In the end, Wang Yun overcame all opinions and rejected Yang Biao's proposal of Lu Bu and Huangfu Song on the grounds of his great achievements in killing Dong Zhuo. At this time, Yang Biao extremely hoped that the old Taiwei Huang Wan would come back to life.
Then just take Wang Yun away with a hook lock.
If this old guy keeps tossing like this, he will really die!
Really... He and Dong Zhuo are on the other extreme, but equally not great!
However, they no longer dared to say these words, and Situ Gong and Wang Yun also had their own ideas, that is, he did not use Lu Bu and Huangfu Song, but he chose Xu Rong.
They knew Xu Rong's abilities very well back then. He was simply a king on the battlefield. Since he had such a fierce general, why not reuse him? It could also help them restrain Lu Bu's reckless man.
Wang Yun's calculation was really good. He handed over all the soldiers under Dong Zhuo who had deserted the dark side to the bright side to Commander Xu Rong, and then ordered him to go out of the city to fight with an imperial decree, and he was sure to completely defeat Li Jue and others.
But this order made everyone look a little unhappy.
Xu Rong is very powerful, but the prerequisite for his greatness is that the soldiers and horses around him are all elite at that time. This is a general who can overwhelm others with his overwhelming force.
Maybe Wang Yun didn't understand this because he didn't understand the war. Today's Xiliang soldiers are not the same as the original Xiliang soldiers. They are not allowed to plunder places, not allowed to drink and cause trouble, and they must abide by military discipline every day.
The taste has slowly changed.
These orders are all good, but what maintains the morale and bravery of the Xiliang army are those disgusting hidden rules.
To put it bluntly, undisciplined killing and viciousness are the soul of these Xiliang troops. You can let them target others other than the Han people.
Whether it was the Huns outside the Great Wall, the Xianbei or the Wuhuan and Qiang Hu Di people.
Or simply those rebels.
Only by satisfying their killings can they stabilize their morale, and blindly suppress... The Xiliang Army, especially the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, is not a good boy who obeys the rules!
At this time, Yang Biao even wanted to slap Wang Yun to death. He could already feel it.
Xu Rong, who is known as Dong Zhuo's first man and the new generation of famous generals of the Han Dynasty, is in trouble this time!
I'm afraid this old guy won't be able to come back.
And to put it bluntly, when Yang Biao looked at Xu Rong, who was not resisting at all, he felt that his mind was already dead. This time, he could even be said to be actively seeking death!
Yang Biao had already received the news before, and Li Jue had already issued an order this time in order to persuade Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others. Along the way, Li Jue and others committed crimes by burning, killing, and looting.
They caused great harm to most of Guanzhong. What Wang Yun saw was that the evil thieves in Xiliang did all kinds of evil.
But what Yang Biao saw was that the Xiliang rebels had great morale. They were a group of lunatics.
The killings and plundering along the way have completely stimulated the wildness in their hearts.
This kind of soldiers may not be comparable to Hu Zhen and others.
But this guy Wang Yun couldn't listen.
Finally, in Chang'an City, Xu Rong slowly walked out with Hu Zhen and other troops and headed for Xinfeng City. This time, their opponents were their former comrades.
The news that Xu Rong went to the battlefield to lead the troops soon spread to the ears of many generals of the Xiliang rebel army.
Of course, it also reached the ears of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
When they knew that the person attacking this time was Xu Rong, they couldn't help but feel a little panic.
At first, they did not dare to resist immediately. A large part of the reason was that they felt that the war could not continue like this.
Chang'an has hundreds of civil and military officials, and Xiwu has sufficient food and supplies.
Moreover, Xu Rong, Huang Fu, and Song were famous generals in the world, and Lu Fengxian was brave and invincible.
The soldiers were well-prepared and the soldiers were brave. Li Jue himself knew his own worth, even though he had been on the battlefield for many years.
But his command was not as good as Xu Rong's, his bravery was not as good as Lu Bu's, his food supply was not sufficient, and his prestige was even less.
If it weren't for Li Ru's persuasion, Li Jue, Guo Si and others would have gone back to Liangzhou and squatted.
But even so, they were still in a state of panic when they heard Xu Rong's troops coming.
However, in the face of everyone's panic, Li Ru just calmly asked the scout to tell all the news again.
"The leader of the army is Xu Rong, who is terrifying, but this time Xu Rong is just Wang Yun's general. What are you afraid of?"
