While Li Xiang was marching steadily, the outside world was not peaceful at all.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Kwantung Allied Forces pressed on the border, and they were forced to defend Hulao. During this period, Li Ru not only made various attempts to alienate the coalition forces of the princes, but also made other small moves in order to make the coalition forces of the princes disorganize themselves.
You must know that the end of the Han Dynasty in this era is not the same as the end of the Han Dynasty. In addition to the Han Dynasty and the various princes who still ostensibly obey the Han Dynasty, there are also many anti-Han forces. Moreover, these anti-Han forces have become stronger and more rampant all the time, otherwise the Han Dynasty would not have been able to do anything against these forces in the past few years.
As Dong Zhuo's think tank, Li Ru would naturally not turn a blind eye to these forces. In fact, Li Ru not only thought of these anti-Han forces in time, but also had plans to use these ordinary forces to do something.
Therefore, after discussing with Dong Zhuo and other think tanks under Dong Zhuo's command, visiting these anti-Han forces began to be put on the agenda. No matter when, the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend has always been there, but it may be called differently in different periods. As for Dong Zhuo, in order to deal with the rebels like the Kwantung Allied Forces, he naturally didn't mind wooing these anti-Han forces.
And these forces themselves are hostile to the princes of the Han Dynasty, so naturally they don't mind causing some trouble to those princes, not to mention that now is indeed a rare good opportunity to take action against those princes.
Of course, although Li Ru and the others achieved their goal on the whole, the leaders of the resistance forces were also elite and had their own ideas in their hearts. Even if Dong Zhuo gave each of them a valuable gift, they would not completely Do exactly what Dong Zhuo said.
The anti-Han force closest to Dong Zhuo was the Xiang clan in Jingnan, and they were the first targets selected by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.
This time, the person Dong Zhuo sent as an envoy to the Xiang family was another of his counselors, Lu Polou. As a close minister of Fu Jian, this man once assisted Fu Jian in killing Fu Sheng to seize the throne, and recommended Wang Meng and Wang Jinglue to Fu Jian, who had surpassed Zhuge in his achievements. He was also a rare talent to assist the king.
With a talented person like Lu Polou taking action, and with the fact that there were indeed benefits to be found, the task was not difficult to complete this time, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement to cooperate.
However, just after Lu Polou left, the Xiang family had great differences on the issue of going to war. It is natural to go to war, but there are different opinions on the specific goals.
The two parties in this dispute were surprisingly Fan Zenghe and Yu Ji, the great strategists of the He clan.
The Xiang clan and Yu Ji were born very early. They were born before the Yellow Turban Uprising began.
At the beginning, although Yu Ji experienced the panic she had just traveled through, she quickly cheered up, accepted her new identity, and prepared to help Xiang Yu seize this great country.
From Yu Ji's point of view, the Xiang clan has made a good start. Basically all the famous generals who belonged to Xiang Yu during the Chu-Han War for Hegemony have arrived. Fan Zeng, a god-level counselor, is also still there, and Xiang Yan, a senior commander, is in charge. Coupled with the hidden strength of the Xiang family, they can wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion to take advantage of the situation.
The facts were just as she imagined. The Xiang family did take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and took decisive action to seize the land of Jingnan in one fell swoop, taking their first base in the troubled times.
During this period, as Yu Ji continued to demonstrate her abilities, her status in the Xiang family became higher and higher, and she began to master some actual power. It was even gradually spread that "Guan Zhong, the female member of the Xiang family" "The name.
During this period, as Yu Ji's power increased, Yu Ji also learned a lot about the intelligence collected daily by the Xiang family. Also because heroes from all walks of life began to appear since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yu Ji Only then did I begin to have a true understanding of this chaotic world.
This world is not just as simple as Yu Ji has just begun to understand. There are only people like the Xiang family, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wanyan Aguda.
Those who already know include Chi You, Zhang Dingbian, Wu Sangui, Xue Ju, Chen Sheng, Li Zicheng, Zhang Shicheng, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Hong Xiuquan, Xing Tian, Xue Rengui, Jiang Song... these people. Especially, in the north, Yu Ji even heard the names of Temujin, Nurhaci, Guo Wei, and Xiang Yu's old rival Liu Bang. Yu Ji even discovered Qin Zheng, who was most likely to be Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng. The existence of Yu Ji suddenly increased her pressure.
In fact, at the beginning, the Xiang family wanted to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy the entire Jingzhou. But just as they started to take action, they now encountered another character that she did not expect to appear - Qi Yan Wanli. The tiger-like Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, coupled with Xiang Yu's wandering in the Central Plains during that time, caused the Xiang family's action to fail.
Even the Xiang clan was slightly defeated in that operation. If Xiang Yan hadn't been old and strong and led the retreat in time, he might have entered Liu Yu's ambush and been beaten out of control by Liu Yu.
And as news of Xiang Yu's presence in the Central Plains continued to spread, Yu Ji was really sure that Chi You and Xing Tian were probably the two people she had in mind. Otherwise, how could anyone else compete with him in terms of force? Comparable to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?
This is not good news for Yu Ji, Xiang Yu, or even the entire Xiang family. Xiang Yu's strongest strength is his military force, and when Xiang Yu leads his troops in battle, they all fight against him. With the cooperation of force, they charge into battle with overwhelming force and are unstoppable. But in this era, Xiang Yu is no longer the best in the world. There are even more than one or two people who belong to the same level as Xiang Yu.
And as Yu Ji set her sights on the Central Plains and the ongoing Yellow Turban War, another person who had to be mentioned also entered Yu Ji's eyes.
Yu Ji naturally wanted to get to know Xing Tian and Jiang Song, two people who could rival Xiang Yu in terms of martial arts. And with Yu Ji's continuous investigation, Li Xiang finally began to enter Yu Ji's sight.
In fact, Li Xiang had begun to gradually reveal his reputation very early on, but the land of Bingzhou was still too far from the land of Jingnan, and Yu Ji had not had the power in the Xiang family before. Not big, there are many things that Yu Ji cannot know. Therefore, it was not until the Yellow Turban period that Yu Ji began to know about Li Xiang's existence.
