Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C390
“Sigh …” This couldn’t be blamed on Huangfu Song. He is only a general who has charged into the fray, and is not worthy of being called a master of strategy. ” Tian Feng was also very angry and said angrily: “Thinking back to when he had calmed down and exterminated the West Branch, it was nothing more than fighting under the command of the Spirit Emperor. Now that he has been given the authority to make his own decisions, he does not have the courage and courage to do so. ”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about him anymore. Tell us what we should do.” Yang Lin immediately waved his hands, interrupting their fury: “Now that Huangfu Song has handed over the military power, Dong Zhuo’s power has greatly increased, without any worries, he will definitely retaliate, how do we deal with him?”
“What else is there to discuss? cavalry of Youzhou under the command of the Lord General have already annihilated hundreds of thousands of fierce Wuhuan cavalry, do you still care about Dong Zhuo’s West Cold Army? As long as we gather all the ships in the Northern Cliffs and mobilize the Youzhou army, we can forcefully cross the Yellow River. Maybe because he was too angry, Zhong Yao replied without thinking.
“Mr. Zhong Yao’s words are wrong. The Youzhou’s army is all cavalry, even if we cross the Yellow River, the other side is the Boundless Mang Shan, how can we use our cavalry? Mu Hui looked at Zhong Yao in dissatisfaction and said angrily.
It was clear that Tian Feng and Mu Lun were still a little distant from Hua Xin. Furthermore, Yang Lin was also somewhat unsatisfied, as Zhong Yao was obviously speaking from the perspective of the imperial government. At a time like this, with everyone knowing their own capabilities, was there a need for him to go all out against Dong Zhuo?
“Lord General, I think our main target should be the Hedong County.” Tian Feng suddenly stood up and walked to the side of the map, then pointed to the map and said: “Hedong County’s might is similar to Dong Zhuo’s escape route, as long as we occupy the Hedong County, Dong Zhuo will not be able to stay in the Luoyang.”
How could Yang Lin not understand? Occupying the Hedong County was equivalent to grabbing onto Dong Zhuo’s neck. But at the same time, Dong Zhuo also heavily valued the Hedong County, and sent his son-in-law, Niu Fu, to personally lead the army for defense. If he were to attack the Hedong County, wouldn’t that mean he would be fighting with Dong Zhuo?
“Lord General, since Hedong County is Dong Zhuo’s throat, it is also Union State’s barrier. As long as we can control the Hedong County, we can control them and calm them down. If we allow Dong Zhuo to occupy our Hedong County, we won’t be able to do anything inside it. ”
Tian Feng was not only considering things from Yang Lin’s perspective, he was also considering things from the perspective of a warlord’s, a powerhouse’s, perspective. Although his suggestion was to fight with Dong Zhuo, the rewards were also huge, and that was the entire Union State.
“Lord General, that year, the Qin Nation expanded rapidly after occupying the east of the river, using the east of the river as a springboard to annex the six countries. It was through the occupation of the east of the river that Hangaosu was able to emerge from seclusion and settle the world. Therefore, HeDong is extremely important to the Union State, to the West Cold and to Guan Dong. ”
Mu Hui also stood up and told Yang Lin about the things that happened in the past. It was very obvious that he and Tian Feng had prepared for this beforehand. Pointing to the map, he introduced the mountains and rivers of Hedong County, emphasizing on the times when the Qin Nation and the Hanggao Ancestor Liu Bang seized the world.
“Once the Union State merges with the Hedong County, there will be the Lu Liang Mountain Range and the Chang Shan Mountain Range to the north, Wang Wu Mountain Range to the south, the Zhongtan Mountain Range to the west, the Five Elements Mountain to isolate Shandong to the west, and the Yellow River Heavenly Risks to the west. In this way, they could peek into the West Cold, and retreat to protect the Union State. If there is no Hedong River in Union State, then this type of meat will be like a chopping block for others to slaughter. ”
“Now that the Duke of Guandong has launched a campaign to suppress Dong Zhuo, even if Huangfu Song were to hand over the authority of the army, with the help of the West Cold Army, it would still be difficult for him to stay in the Luoyang for long. If the Lord General had a goal to eliminate Dong Zhuo, they would definitely attack him. If you want to obtain the West Cold s, you must obtain Hedong City. ”
Yang Lin stood in front of the map and looked at Hedong County for a long time. Even if he did not know the history, Yang Lin could tell from the map that once they occupied the East River, they would be able to protect the Union State and attack it. If he were to link Youzhou, Union State, and Jizhou into a single piece, then the world’s grand situation could be set in stone.
Most importantly, the northern troop and Western Gardens Soldiers who had already fallen under Dong Zhuo’s command came from the three rivers, namely Henan, Henan and Henan. They were also Huangfu Song’s three river knights. If he wanted to recruit the northern troops and West Garden Army s, taking over Hedong City was also a top priority.
However, the moment he started a war with Dong Zhuo, he would have to face Dong Zhuo’s huge army of a few hundred thousand by himself. Yang Lin who was familiar with history knew that Dong Zhuo would lose sooner or later, there was no need to be in such a rush. As long as he could take over the river, no one would be able to steal away the Hedong County and no one would be able to steal away the Union State.
It was completely unnecessary to fight Dong Zhuo now, since Hedong City was also extremely important to Dong Zhuo. Once the two sides started to fight, it would definitely be extremely intense, and no one would give up so easily. Was there a need to compete with someone who was on the verge of death?
Most importantly, if he were to fight with Dong Zhuo in Hedong City, it would be fine. But if he were to lose, all of his efforts would go to waste. Even if he defeated Dong Zhuo, he would have changed history because of this.
But if he did not move, like the Duke of Guandong, he would definitely be criticized by the people of the world. Not only would it greatly disappoint the people of the world, it would also disappoint his subordinates. So no matter what, he had to take action. Even if it meant nothing to him, he had to seriously fight.
“Alright, let’s focus our attacks on the Hedong County and order them to march towards the east of the river. However, the situation of the Hedong County was very complicated. There were Dong Zhuo’s West Cold Army, Bai Bo’s xanthopanax, and the rebel Hun cavalry. Therefore, I have decided to start with the Hun cavalry and fight to the death with all I have.
It was a bright night. The full moon was high in the sky and the snow on the ground was thick. The whole land looked hazy. The biting cold wind blew across the Five Elements Mountain Range and down along the Fenshui Valley, freezing the mountains and rivers of Hedong County.
The thundering sound of the horses’ hooves swept past like thunder, shaking the earth and causing it to tremble. It scared the night birds in the forest to soar into the sky, and they circled in the sky for a long time. Watching the Cavalry disappear on the horizon, they chattered about the fear in their hearts.
This group of Cavalry was none other than Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the unrestrained number one troop of Union State. They were hurrying through the night, carrying out the mission of raiding the Huns. None of the soldiers spoke, as long as the heavy breathing of the horses was accompanied by the sound of hooves.
Ever since they joined the Yang Lin Group, this was the first time they participated in a battle. Although the battle hadn’t started yet, they already knew the outcome. Without a doubt, they would undoubtedly win this battle. The only suspense was whether or not they could destroy Hun cavalry.
The Huns, who were at the peak of their power, dominated the Northern Desert and the Western Regions of the Southern Desert and the Western Regions. Although they were noble, peaceful and did not dare to fight with them, they were able to suppress nomadic peoples s who had been powerful men for almost a hundred years. It was only when the Xiaowu Emperor appeared out of nowhere and gathered the strength of the entire country and appointed Wei Qing and Huo Quou as his talents that he could defeat the Huns. Only then did the Huns’ illness slowly subside.
Henceforth, Hanshin and Hun declined. The Huns were divided into two, with the Northern Huns fleeing into the distance. Some of them were annexed by other clans, while others were exterminated and disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, the Southern Hun descended to the Han Dynasty and moved into the Union State, dividing into many different sized tribes.
In March of the sixth year of Zhongping, Southern Hun rebelled against the slaughter of the various tribes who had murdered her father after Yu Fuluo ascended the throne. Attack Taiyuan Jinyang, kill Union State Stinger Zhang Yi. Although the rebellion was suppressed, the internal strife of the Huns did not subside.
Since Yu Fuluo’s sole position was acknowledged by the imperial government, and he himself was unable to calm the internal strife of the Huns, Yu Fuluo went to the Luoyang to complain to the imperial court about Bu Gu Hou. They wanted the imperial government to send troops to pacify the rebellion of the Duke of Bu Gu and restore their own monarchy.
However, he had just reached the Hanoi County, and just as the Spirit Emperor passed away, the imperial government was in chaos. Yu Fuluo then led several thousand of his cavalrymen and the White Waves rebel army to attack Hedong County and the counties together to rob them of their food and valuables.
At that time, the common folk were all gathered at the dock to defend themselves. Yu Fuluo did not loot anything, but his own troops had suffered many casualties. He wanted to return to his own territory, but the people of Southern Hun did not accept him, so he stayed in Hedong County’s Pingyang County.
Therefore, to, who only had a few thousand cavalrymen, it was a piece of cake for him to destroy Yu Fuluo’s army, with only Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Zhang Yang’s number one troop, it was enough. However, Yang Lin had dispatched tens of thousands of troops, which split into seven groups, trying their best to eliminate Yu Fuluo in one go.
Following Yang Lin’s orders, Qin Wu and Qin Yong brought Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, Sun Zhong, Sun Xia, Qin Hong and Qin Wei, and came to the river together with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and formed the Union State. Qin Wu would be the Commander, Qin Yong would be the Inspector General, and Mu Hui would be the Chief of Staff.
After the establishment of the Union State, their primary task would be to eliminate the Hun cavalry within the borders of the Hedong County, in order to intimidate Dong Zhuo’s army, but they would also do their best not to fight with Dong Zhuo’s West Cold Army. At the same time, he would also think of a way to recruit xanthopanax Bai Bo to control the entire Union State.
In the current Union State, other than Yang Lin’s army, there were only the County soldier s of the various counties. Not only did these County soldier have to deal with the Army of Montenegro, they also had to deal with the Huns and their rebellion. It was already very taxing, and was the best time for Yang Lin to control the Union State.
Aside from Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zhang Yang, the other three cavalry brigade s were moving out at the same time. They surrounded Yu Fuluo from the Shang Ye Party, Tai Yuan, and Xi He Counties, planning to eliminate him between the Yellow River and the Yellow River.
Yang Lin’s stratagem was to take advantage of the situation and take down the Pi family and Linfen army after annihilating Yu Fuluo. He was to use the Fenshui River as a heavenly peril to watch over Niu Fu’s army from above and create a confrontation with Dong Zhuo’s West Cold Army. As long as he was willing, he could cross the Fen River at any time and attack Niu Fu, driving him out of Hedong County.
Since it was like this, even if Niu Fu, who was able to stand guard in An Yi, arrived, it would not immediately start a war with Niu Fu. At the same time, Yang Lin began his first battle against Dong Zhuo, and he did not have to worry about taking revenge on him. After all, it was not easy for the West Cold Army to cross the Fenshui River. Niu Fu had already been in An Ning for a few months and had not crossed the river to fight the Huns.
The reason why Yang Lin took action, the other reason why he chose to attack with the Huns was to suppress the white wave army, forcing them to surrender. Although the white wave army were all a motley bunch, there were still more than a hundred thousand people. Niu Fu had surrounded and annihilated them a few times, but he was unable to win because there were a few brave generals within the white wave army.
