When a piece of news came out, the world was shocked. Hundreds of thousands of grassland barbarians marched south. This was news that shocked the world and left people all over the world at a loss.
Liu Bang and Qin Zheng, who were in Youzhou, were not slow to respond. They spread the news of the grassland forces going south to all parts of the world and called on the righteous people from all over the world to go north to fight against the Hu.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Bang has temporarily taken charge of the Liu Yu forces in Youzhou. The grassland forces united to move south collectively. Under tremendous pressure, Liu Yu accidentally contracted a serious illness and could no longer handle affairs.
But at this critical moment, they need at least one leader. Liu Yu had a son, and the heir initially chosen by Liu Yu was also his son, but Liu He was disappointed. When he heard that he wanted to inherit the power at this time, wouldn't it kill him? Therefore, the position of Youzhou Mu, which was previously unattainable, is now avoided by Liu He.
Liu He's performance not only disappointed Liu Yu, but also disappointed the civil and military officials in Youzhou, large and small. Therefore, Liu Yu recently handed over the position of Youzhou Mu to his younger brother Liu Bang.
Compared with Liu He, Liu Bang, an old gangster, performed much better after taking office.
Under the crisis, Liu Bang and Qin Zheng tacitly resolved their differences and temporarily united to strengthen the city defense and jointly resist the invasion of the grassland forces.
On the other hand, while asking for help from all the princes in the world, these two people used various means to spread the news throughout the world, and used various methods to guide public opinion and force other princes to send troops with the righteousness of the world.
Soon, an edict was issued from the Chang'an court calling on the princes of the world to resist the barbarians in the grasslands, which caused an uproar in the world. And this edict completely confirmed the authenticity of the news that the grassland forces were moving south.
In the land of Chang'an, when Li Xiang came to ask the young emperor to issue an edict, Yang Jian readily agreed. He has just mastered the land of Yongzhou in Guanzhong, and this is when he needs development the most.
But with Li Xiang's power in the east and Fu Jian's power in Liangzhou in the west, he was in an awkward position. Although there are strong barriers in the land of Guanzhong, is there any barrier in this world that can never be broken?
It just so happened that the grassland forces moved south at this time. This was not good news for the forces in Bingyou and You, but it was different for Yang Jian.
The grassland forces moved south at this time, directly transferring the main conflict to the grassland forces. He could also take a breath at this time and take advantage of this hard-won development time.
Therefore, Yang Jian easily agreed to the next edict to gather the world together to finally control Hu.
Jizhou, Yecheng.
As Yuan Shao, who lives next to Bingyou, he is one of the people who is most concerned about the direction of this matter.
"Everyone, now that Hu is riding south, and the emperor has issued such an edict, I wonder how we should deal with it?" At this time, Yuan Shaomo said that he had conquered the four states of Hebei, and he had not captured even one Jizhou, so naturally he would not They will look down upon these barbarians.
What's more, with hundreds of thousands of cavalry, no one dares to underestimate them. Even Li Xiang doesn't have the confidence to underestimate others, let alone Yuan Shao.
"My lord, others don't have to go to this battle, but my lord has to go!" Cui Hao, the great counselor, spoke first.
Although the Cui family of Qinghe is not comparable to the Yuan family, which has four generations and three fathers, it still has a certain status among the aristocratic families in the world. Cui Hao's background is in line with Yuan Shao's employment standards, and he is talented, so he doesn't talk back to him. Therefore, he is naturally deeply loved by Yuan Shao.
"Lord, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry on the grassland. How can Youzhou cope with it? If Youzhou is lost, then everything will be flat. How can we protect ourselves by then?" Cui Hao continued to add. .
Although they, the counselors, always like to tell half and hide the other half, Cui Hao was not in the mood to play with Yuan Shao, so he simply made it clear.
Having been working under Yuan Shao for many years, Cui Hao naturally has a clear understanding of Yuan Shao's character, and naturally he will not do thankless things. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't explain it clearly and Yuan Shao couldn't understand his intention! And Yuan Shao is not a grand person. If this kind of thing really happens, Yuan Shao will secretly write down his own notes in the little notebook in his heart.
Yuan Shao naturally understands what Cui Hao said, but Yuan Shao also has his own concerns in his heart. His current family wealth cannot be restrained from being consumed on such a huge battlefield. That battlefield is definitely a meat grinder. If you go there rashly, you will probably be minced to the point where no dregs are left.
"My lord, you are the leader of the princes, and you can call on the princes of the world to march north together!" Xu You is indeed Xu You. Yuan Benchu has been growing up for many years, and it is no less than a roundworm in Yuan Benchu's belly. He actually guessed what Yuan Shao was thinking!
As Xu You finished speaking, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision.
Yanzhou.
This time, whether it was the emperor's edict or the request for help from Qin Zheng and Liu Bang, not only did the traditional princes in the world get a copy, but even the anti-Han forces in the past were not missed.
And the Yellow Turban forces, as the largest anti-Han forces in the past, will not be missed. What's more, now that Chi You has been nominally divided into kings, at least he is no longer a rebel in name.
"Brother, this time you will lead the army to the northern Xinjiang." Chi You said murderously.
In the final analysis, the dispute in the Central Plains is a dispute between the Han people. At this time, there is no room for these barbarians to be rampant.
As for Hu Qi going south, Chi You was determined to go there himself. However, given the situation he was in now, he couldn't leave easily.
Chi You was a thorn in the side and flesh of all the noble families in the world, and they wished they could get rid of him as soon as possible. In recent years, they had caused many stumbling blocks for Chi You. A year ago, Cao Cao, Liu Dai and Tao Qian joined forces to deal with Chi You, and there were many powerful families behind them to support them.
Although it would be easy to gain notoriety by engaging in physical fighting at this time, Chi You did not dare to gamble with the future of the Yellow Turbans. Therefore, he had no choice but to let Zhang Dingbian lead the troops while he stayed at the base camp.
As the news spread throughout the world, the reactions of various princes were also different. However, after much thought, these people began to organize their troops one after another. It is self-evident what they had in mind.
Among these people, Gongsun Zan and Liu Che reacted the most intensely. This man seemed to be born to have trouble with the foreigners. When he heard that the foreigners were heading south, he was like a mad rabbit that had been beaten to death, clamoring to go north.
