Although Yuan Shao issued the so-called edict that came from nowhere, heroes from all walks of life in the world are located in all corners of the country, and the distances to come to the Jujube Alliance Alliance are also of different lengths, so the time for the arrival of various princes is also early or late. .
At this moment, Li Xiang returned to Hanoi again. The battle against Dong was imminent. It was time for Li Xiang to prepare and go to the alliance.
Li Xiang has a huge appetite for this action against Dong. He will take this opportunity to try to occupy Sili and Liangzhou with the help of the coalition forces of the princes.
Even if they cannot completely capture Sili and Liangzhou, they still have to open a gap in these two places. Later, when Dong Zhuo's internal forces change, he will attack the west in one fell swoop and seize all the lands in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and then seize Bashu in the south. The land established the power to strengthen Qin.
After that, Li Xiang will take full advantage of the mountains and rivers. Whether he goes south to Jingzhou or attacks the Central Plains of Hebei, it will be Li Xiang's choice.
In addition, another goal of Li Xiang is to try to recapture Liu Xie, and to replace Dong Zhuo and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. In this era, as long as you have the means and ability to resist the emperor's backlash, mastering the emperor will become an extremely powerful weapon for you.
In history, Cao Cao can have subsequent achievements, and he holds a large part of the credit for coercing the emperor and the princes.
However, achieving this goal is a bit difficult. Even if Dong Zhuo is not aware of it, his subordinates Li Ru, Yang Jian, and Fu Jian must be aware of Liu Xie's role. Therefore, winning Liu Xie cannot be achieved in a short period of time.
Li Xiang is not in a hurry about this. Dong Zhuo's power is a powder keg internally. After the princes' struggle against Dong is over and they lose the threat of external forces, they will blow themselves up. At that time, whether it is to capture Sili or capture Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie, it will be the best opportunity.
"Pass the order and order Su Lie to be the chief general, Feng Yi to be the deputy general, Jiang Song to be the vanguard, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai to be the military advisors, and Ju Yi, Gan Fu, Luo Yi, Luo Cheng, Luo Ren, Han Qinhu and Li Cunxu to be appointed. , Li Sizhao and Li Cunjin were appointed as generals, leading an army of 100,000, and gathered in Hetao. When the battle against Dong was over, they immediately set out to Liangzhou."
Since the last grassland war, Li Xiang felt that his military strength was somewhat insufficient, and then launched another round of conscription in Bingzhou.
Due to the attractive refugees before and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and more importantly, the systematic population recruitment in recent years, Lixiang Bingzhou, Hetao and Hanoi combined have a population of more than 4 million.
Coupled with the Hetao, a grain-producing land, and agricultural tools such as potatoes, although there were too few seeds extracted from the system at the beginning and it would take time to expand to large-scale production, the food problem has begun to slow down. As long as a few more developments In two years' time, potatoes will be fully produced. At that time, Li Xiang will truly no longer worry about food problems. What's more, from a long time ago, Li Xiang had asked Shen Wansan to consciously start saving food.
Now that the population is there and the food supply is barely enough to sustain them, recruiting a hundred thousand troops is naturally not a big problem. No one knows today that Li Xiang already has an army of 250,000 men. In the entire world, only the annexed Xiyuan Army and Dong Zhuo of the Northern Army can have an advantage over Li Xiang in terms of military strength.
"The rest of the generals will lead 30,000 cavalry and follow me to the Jujube Alliance."
This time, the lineup Li Xiang sent to attack Liangzhou was not weak. Su Lie, the unparalleled commander in chief, personally led the army. You must know that even among the entire Bingzhou Army and the Hanoi Army, Su Lie's commanding ability was also unparalleled. Only below Li Jing and Yue Fei.
Although the effect of Su Lie's two attempts to destroy the country has not yet been fully activated, Xue Rengui's basic commanding ability is still a little higher than Su Lie's. However, Xue Rengui does not have a skill that can increase his commander, while the two skills that Su Lie has revealed can more or less increase his own commander.
Secondly, the lineup of generals Li Xiang sent to Su Lie was already quite generous. There are not only Luo Ren and Luo Cheng who are at the peerless level, but also Jiang Song who is at the level of a god general.
In addition, Feng Yi, Han Qinhu and Li Cunxu are even more talented generals. This means that Li Xiang has a lot of talents under his command. Otherwise, if these three people are placed under the command of other princes, they can all serve as commanders of an army.
Dashu General Feng Yi, one of the seventy-two generals of the Wumiao Temple and the seventh of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, defeated the Red Eyebrow Rebel Army and pacified Guanzhong. Assisted Liu Xiu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Han Qinhu, one of the seventy-two generals of the Wu Temple, was tall and tall, quite courageous and fond of reading. When he first served in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he accompanied the army to pacify the Northern Qi Dynasty and repeatedly defeated the attacks of Chen State.
In the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he served as a vanguard general to attack Chen State. He led his troops to cross the Yangtze River at night, captured the quarries, conquered Gushu, marched into Xinlin, broke through Zhuque Gate, occupied Jiankang City, and captured Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, and made outstanding contributions.
Although Li Cunxu was in a mess politically, he indulged in sensuality, had no skills in governing the country, and was incompetent in employing people. He allowed the queen to interfere in politics, reused actors and eunuchs, neglected killing heroes, levied excessive taxes, and was stingy with money, which resulted in the hardship of the people, the resentment of the feudal towns, and the alienation of the soldiers.
However, his military achievements cannot be denied. In the fifteenth year of his reign, he attacked Houliang in the south, defeated Khitan in the north, captured Hebei in the east, and merged with Hezhong in the west, making the Jin gradually stronger and stronger, and reviving the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty. After proclaiming the emperor, he destroyed Houliang, took over Henan, Shandong and other places, established his capital in Luoyang, merged with Qi State, destroyed Qian Shu, and gained Fengxiang, Hanzhong and Liangchuan, which shocked the separatist countries in the south. "The territory of the Five Dynasties has no prosperity." This is what it is."
In addition to the generals, Li Xiang also sent Su Lie to the Lianxiandenshishi, an elite unit specially designed to deal with cavalry.
The reason why Li Xiang sent such a lineup to Su Lie was because after all, Liangzhou was Dong Zhuo's headquarters, and Dong Zhuo now had many talents under his command. What if that guy Dong Zhuo left some powerful people to guard Liangzhou!
What's more, Dong Zhuo is not the only force in Liangzhou, there are also two local forces in Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui. These two people have been rooted in Liangzhou for many years, and their power cannot be underestimated. If they could really destroy them easily, Dong Zhuo would not let them live in Liangzhou to this day!
When the time comes, Li Xiang sends Su Lie to attack Liangzhou, which will infringe not only the interests of Dong Zhuo, but also the interests of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Therefore, it is inevitable that Su Lie's army will confront the forces of these two men.
As for Ma Teng's participation in the princes' fight against Dong, it was just a talk by Ma Teng to boost his reputation. It was just a show of support and there was no substantive expression at all. Given Ma Teng's geographical location, no one really thinks that he can bypass Dong Zhuo and go to Jujube to participate in the alliance, right?
…
Standing on the high platform, Li Xiang looked at the generals such as Xing Tian, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others who were waiting in formation below, as well as the 30,000 cavalry standing neatly and motionless behind them. His heart was full of pride. They were all his. Soldiers.
"Thirty thousand cavalry have been assembled and we can set off just waiting for the Lord's order."
Li Xiang nodded, pulled out the sword tied to his waist, pointed to the sky and shouted: "I will not stop fighting until I defeat the Dong thief."
"I will not stop fighting until I defeat the Dong thief..."
Tens of thousands of troops stood up and roared, the sound was like the sea, shaking the earth and the earth, and the momentum of the army was like a rainbow.
"Set off."
With Li Xiang's order, 30,000 Bingzhou troops embarked on the journey, and the chaos in the world began.
