In the diplomatic exchanges between the vassals of Kanto and Dong Zhuo, the two sides haggled in order to determine the official positions of each party.
All the foreign lords wanted to get the official position of the state shepherd and become a vassal with great power. Dong Zhuo was not happy.
In the whole world, there are only 13 states, not enough 25 princes to divide up, and the state herdsmen such as Tao Qian, Liu Yu, Liu Yan and Liu Biao were not present.
Are there 29 states in 13 states?
During this period, a great event happened. Yuan Shu, who was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the herdsman of Yuzhou, sent an assassin to assassinate the governor of Yuzhou, and annexed his troops!
The rest of the princes were shocked!
Among the 27 princes, two of them died in Hulao, the other one returned to Liaodong in Ming Dynasty, and now another was assassinated by their allies, leaving only 23 princes.
News of Yuan Shu's assassination of his allies spread rapidly, and a number of princes put pressure on him.
Facing the pressure from his allies, Yuan Shu simply led his troops to leave Hangu pass and went to occupy Xuchang, the governor of Yuzhou, in order to digest Yuzhou.
In addition to Han Fu of Jizhou, some of the grain of the Northeast Alliance came from Yuan Shu of Nanyang. As a result, Yuan Shu no longer provided food, and the situation of the Guandong allied forces was in danger.
Now there are twenty-two princes left.
Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to attack Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, at night and kill Han Fu, claiming that Han Fu was killed by deserters, and then annexed Han Fu's followers.
Yuan Shao also announced the withdrawal of the army and led Jizhou animal husbandry.
There are only twenty-one princes left.
Without the grain of Jizhou and Yuzhou, the princes of the 19th route found themselves trapped by a pair of stupid brothers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu!
Fang Xuanling reported his bad situation to Chu Tian: "if it goes on like this, the army will soon be short of food."
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't make any contribution. They didn't expect that they would still fight against their allies. Once they got there, they left immediately. They cut off the food provided by Hanfu and Kongzi. It's shortsighted. They are so unfeeling that any vassal who has enmity with them will never leave a way to live after they defeat them. "
Knowing that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu not only annexed other princes, but also worried about their revenge, Chu Tian soon withdrew from Luoyang and seized the territory.
In other words, the current alliance of the warlords of Kanto has collapsed.
They could not attack Chang'an without the nearby supply of grain.
Now all the princes hated Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked their allies at a critical moment, and then left without saying goodbye. They cut off the food supply and did everything. Other princes would not let them go.
Dong Zhuo had already agreed to confer the titles of Zhou mu, Jiang and Xian Hou. However, he learned that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had left and that the rest of the princes were in short supply of food, so his attitude became tough again. He was only willing to confer Marquises. As for Zhou Mu and Si'an, Si Zhen and Si Zheng generals, he did not consider them.
"I didn't expect to be trapped by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu."
Chu Tian felt helpless to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Their greedy attitude of seizing territory was difficult to achieve.
Finally, Chu Tian, as the representative of the Guandong princes, compromised with Dong Zhuo.
Chutian was granted the title of Marquis of Kaiyang County, while other alien princes were the powerful County Marquis, the weak Fengxiang Hou and Ting Hou.
[official position]: Kaiyang County Marquis
[effect]: the popularity of Kaiyang County is not easy to decline; the support rate of aristocratic families increases slightly; the prestige increases, and the attraction to historical heroes in the late Han Dynasty increases slightly.
County Marquis, as a title, can bring a lot of effect.
At present, the titles of Chutian include Tian Khan, Da Xian Liang Shi, Lang Ya Xiang, Fu Bo general and Kaiyang County marquis.
Because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu lost the chance to be promoted to general Mu and Anton of Xuzhou, Chu Tian wrote down the gratitude and resentment with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
The governor of Lujiang was equally angry with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. His official position was General Yang Zhou Mu and Annan. Dong Zhuo was about to agree. All of them were destroyed by the yuan brothers.
There was also Hu Ma, the general of state Mu and Anxi, who had lost his official position on the table, and was only granted a township marquis.
"Don't let me catch Yuan Shu in the future, or I will execute him."
The copper sparrow, the prefect of Lujiang, was indignant.
The remaining 19 princes began to withdraw.
If Dong Zhuo sends tens of thousands of cavalry to pursue him, the remaining 19 route princes will be defeated.
"We can only conquer Xuzhou by force, and then ask Dong Zhuo for Zhou Mu and general Anton."
Chu Tian still covets the position of Xuzhou animal husbandry.
It was impractical to obtain the official position of Xuzhou animal husbandry. Chu Tian forcibly controlled Xuzhou, and then asked for the title of Xuzhou animal husbandry. At that time, the boat is done, and Dong Zhuo can't even recognize it if he doesn't want to.
Because of the internal strife among the princes and the lack of food, they retreated one after another.
Before the end of the camp, Chu Tian counted the gains of Dong Zhuo's expedition and gained 70000 points of military merit. He captured about 1000 cavalry of Xiliang, more than 4000 soldiers of Liangzhou and 7000 horses of war.The number of chariots in Xiliang is amazing, and the horses captured by Chutian are only a part of them.
In addition, he captured two military generals Xu Rong and Hua Xiong, and got Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, as well as 20 or 30 civil servants. It was an unexpected gain.
Chu Tian also lost a lot, bringing in 20000 people, losing 5000 and leaving 15000.
"At last I can go back."
Chu Tian was almost stolen from his home. He could not help but sweat. He was almost homeless.
At the beginning of Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Tao Qian, it happened that Yanzhou was attacked by Lv Bu and Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao was almost homeless.
Chu Tian's dangerous experience once again happened to Cao Cao.
Fortunately, in summer Liang and Li Xiuning, Xu Sheng and others kept Langya state, otherwise Chu Tian would have to start again.
After returning to Xiacheng, Chu Tian still had to reward them well. In the future, even generals and prefects could not be overstated.
Chu Tian and his vassals passed through the blackened city of Luoyang. They cleaned up Luoyang a little and worshipped the former Emperor.
At the same time, Chu Tian and a group of foreign princes sent people to search for the whereabouts of the imperial seal. They all knew that the imperial seal might be left in Luoyang. According to historical records, Sun Jian once found the imperial seal in the well of Luoyang.
As a treasure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial seal of Chuanguo has brought unprecedented bonus to the territory.
But all the princes were disappointed. They could not find the imperial seal.
Although the battle of Hulao pass and the burning of Luoyang took place in this expedition against Dong Zhuo, many changes still took place. Diao Chan disappeared, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were captured, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were captured by Chu Tian
How good it is now. The imperial seal of the state has not even been found.
Chu Tian is also holding a try mentality, really did not find the zhuanguo Yuxi, he is not worried.
All the princes or prefects, want to be emperor?
Yuan Shu is a negative example of early emperor.
All the princes returned to suanzao County in Chenliu County, successfully suppressing the momentum of Dong Zhuo's power development.
Dong Zhuo's army, which had a strong trend of sweeping the Eastern Han Dynasty, was suppressed by the United Army, just like the Qingzhou yellow turban army.
The gun shot the first bird.
"If you ask Dong Zhuo for Xuzhou animal husbandry plan, you will succeed, but you are trapped by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Brother Chu and brother Yan, we'll see you later. See you next time. Maybe I've built a strong empire in the western regions, just like the Western Liao and Mongolian empires. "
Huo an, the Lord of the western regions, said goodbye to Prince Chu and Prince Yan.
"Don't be defeated by the Kushan Empire and the Seljuk Empire, and lose the face of our Eastern Han Dynasty, but ask for help from us."
"No, I can drink the marisea!"
Huo'an left with more than a thousand cavalry from the western regions. Before he left, he still murmured: "how come my soldiers in the western regions are always afraid when they see you, don't understand..."
Huo'an returned to the western regions.
"Mingguan should be at war with Cui zaishan's army, which invaded Liaodong by Gaoli. The battle must be very tragic. Cui zaishan is the first lord of Gaoli, and he is resolute. If he does not obey his Lord, he will be executed. He took the initiative to attack Liaodong, and he was well prepared. My territory is in the west of Liaoning. If mingguan can't block Gaoli, then my Liaoxi cavalry will seize Liaodong at all costs. "
Prince Yan, the Lord of Liaoxi, has a famous general Di Qing. He is ready in case Liaodong is captured by Gaoli Bangzi.
"You believe in mingguan. I have known his three generals, Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang and Zu dashou. None of them is not a famous general. Chang Yuchun has a nickname of "Chang Shiwan". If you give him 100000 troops, you can go around the world, instead of the mediocre in some martial arts novels. That's totally a misunderstanding of Chang Yuchun. Mingguan may become your enemy in the future. "
Chu Tian reminded Prince Yan that he learned that Chang Yuchun was the Third Military General in mingguan. He was second only to Xu Da in the early Ming Dynasty. He had almost no defeat in his whole campaign. From the south to the north, he captured Yuan Dadu. It can be said that he is a legendary general!
Knowing that there was Chang Yuchun as a general in Ming Guan, Prince Yan was helpless. Di Qing's War record was much worse than that of Chang Yuchun. Once he started a war with mingguan and fought for Liaodong and Liaoxi, changyuchun would be his biggest enemy: "not only mingguan, but also gongsunzan, Wuhuan, Xianbei tribes, and the daunting prairie."
"The daunting prairie?"
This is the first time Chu Tian has heard of such a saying.
"You should know that the grassland controlled by our Eastern Han Dynasty is not a complete grassland, so there must be other nomadic tribes."
Prince Yan took his Western Liaoning cavalry with him, and returned to Liaoxi with a teleportation array.
"Master, Xuande is leaving."
Before leaving with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei came to say goodbye to Lu Zhi, who was with Chu Tian.
At present, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the Sima of other departments under Liu Bei's command.
Before returning to Zhongshan with Liu Bei, Chen Xi, Liu Bei's outsider military adviser, whispered to Chu Tian: "the era of separatism will soon come. I hope that one day we will not become enemies.""I hope so."
Chutian did not regard Liu Bei in the north of Jizhou as an opponent for the time being.
Liu Bei chose to develop Zhongshan state in the north of Jizhou, and his opponent was extremely strong. Ming Guan in Eastern Liaoning, Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning, Mu Liu Yu in Youzhou, mu yuanshao in Jizhou, Zhao long, prefect Hu MA in Taiyuan.
The fierce battles among the princes in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou and other Hebei regions will be quite fierce, even worse than those in Henan.
Liu Bei, who had generals such as Chang Yuchun, Lian Po, Shi Wansui, di Qing, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, might not survive and merge the three states.
Therefore, Liu Bei may not be the opponent in the future.
By contrast, Chutian can attack Xuzhou quickly.
As long as it is faster than other princes, it will occupy the advantage of early development, and continue to snowball in the future.
"Tao Qian of Xuzhou has no military generals. There is a Song Jiang in the East China Sea, but Song Jiang is just the leader of a peasant uprising army. Compared with my general, he is not worth mentioning."
Chu Tian led the main force to return to Langya. After taking a rest and digesting the reward, the first Chu Tian did not let go was Tao Qian.
After the Spring Festival, Tao Qian will be destroyed.
Chu Tian made up his mind.
"We may be enemies in the future."
Cao Cao, together with Xia Hou brothers and Dian Wei, a military general who was subdued on the way to attack Dong Zhuo, took the initiative to bid farewell to Chu Tian.
One of them is in Yanzhou and the other in Xuzhou. They are located in the four battle areas and have no danger to defend. Once they fight, they mainly attack.
To be honest, Chu Tian thought that Cao Cao was more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei and Sun Jian.
Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu are both afraid of their shortcomings, but they are also prepared to take advantage of their shortcomings.
There are a large number of second and third rate generals under Cao Cao's command. Cao Cao can give them bonus, and it is difficult to calculate Cao Cao. Therefore, it is difficult for Cao Cao's army to fight.
"Zimu, we should not have any conflict."
Sun Jian's Changsha County was too far away from Chutian's Xuzhou, so he didn't worry about the conflict of interests with Chutian.
Chu Tian nodded on the surface, but not necessarily in the bottom of his heart. Since ancient times, after the unification of the Central Plains, we have to drink from the Yangtze River.
After saying goodbye to Chu Tian, Chu Tian got to know more princes. Some people may become the next strong enemy, such as Cao Cao. Others may become allies.
Chu Tian and others return to Xiacheng with their booty.
"I don't know what you're talking about
Lu Zhi and Cai Yong and other great Confucians still have some expectations.
A team of soldiers into the transmission array can return to Langya city without paying a price.
Finally, Chu Tian took Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun into the transmission array.
The scene changed
Liaodong cavalry launched a charge against the Koryo cavalry. General Chang Yuchun took the lead and led the heavy cavalry to attack the enemy's array. He broke three squares of Gaoli and won the Third Army!
Mingguan took a military division to watch the battle from a high place: "this time, thanks to the military division guarding the home and putting up ambush in the Qianshan Mountains for a long time, I didn't let the Koryo cavalry besiege the city, otherwise I could hardly come back."
The military division said: "the Lord is wise and wise. Only by keeping ten thousand cavalry ahead of time can we delay the enemy calmly."
"The Lords of Gaoli attack Liaodong on their own initiative, and when I completely unify and stabilize Liaodong, they will know that the cavalry of the suzerain is terrible. My guanning iron horse will soon be able to train a small team... "
