I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116
Looking at the expectant generals, Li Shimin continued: "In this battle, Zhang Liao is the commander, Xu Rong is the vanguard, and Xi Zhicai is the general of the army. , and then together with Zhao Yun's army to pacify Xiliang."

Li Shimin sent Zhang Liao and Xu Rong together, together with the original Zhao Yun and Bu Xugu, there were a total of nearly 20 troops, all of which were elite soldiers and strong generals.There are also Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng, two counselors who are well-known in the world, to help. In Li Shimin's view, such a lineup is extremely luxurious, and it should be more than enough to wipe out Ma Teng and Han Sui who ruled Xiliang.

Zhang Liao and Xu Rong came out of the crowd, and replied excitedly: "Promise! The last general takes orders, and he will fulfill his mission."

Li Shimin said to the three people meaningfully: "Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom. To treat these two people, we must divide and conquer. Ma Teng is brave and has a good personality. Said to surrender. Han Sui is ambitious and double-faced, I am afraid it will not be easy to subdue. How many people are you waiting for, you must be careful and minimize killing and damage."

The reason why Li Shimin asked Zhang Liao and Xu Rong to go to pacify him was because of his own considerations. Firstly, Xu Rong was Dong Zhuo's former general, and if he stepped in, the remnants of Dong Zhuo's forces that had been holding on along the way would naturally fall apart.In addition, Xu Rong is very familiar with the Xiliang region, the mountains, rivers, and marching routes are extremely familiar.Letting him lead the way will help to put down the two warlords Han Sui and Ma Teng.

On the other hand, Li Shimin also wanted to cultivate a few independent commanders, so Li Shimin couldn't be required to go to the army every time. Zhang Liao was loyal, young and promising, so he was naturally the best candidate.

Li Shimin was very satisfied seeing the second general's raging fighting spirit.

Looking at the other generals off the field, Li Shimin continued to give orders: "Junyi, you will lead the [-] Leopard Army out of Sanguan and capture Wudu County. After taking Wudu, set up fields and train troops, and wait for my order. mistaken!"

Zhang He was overjoyed when he heard the words. He knew Li Shimin's intentions, so he naturally wanted to win Longwangshu, occupy Wudu County and covet Hanzhong, and then take control of Xichuan.

At the same time, Zhang Xi also understood that Li Shimin wanted to reuse him.

So he gladly took the order, got up and went to take Li Shimin's command arrow.

Seeing Lu Bu on the side looking at him expectantly, Li Shimin smiled knowingly, and said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, I order you to lead the Huben Army under your command to garrison Tongguan and Huayin, prepare for war, and wait for our army to wipe out the remnants of Xiliang , Swing the army out of the customs! It's time to take back our lost Luoyang!"

"No! The last general will take the order." After saying that, he happily took the command arrow.

Next, Li Shimin made another arrangement, asking Dianwei to guard Chang'an and guard the palace at the same time. Although Li Shimin seemed to let Dianwei be his personal guard general, he knew that Dianwei was brave, and it was a waste of talent to be a guard, so Li Shimin also intends to promote and train him to become a general of the army.

No one is born a natural general, most of them are honed through bloody battles the day after tomorrow. Perhaps Dian Wei will have greater achievements under his command.

On the other hand, Li Shimin raised the banner of recruiting troops in Guanzhong. In the past, the Great Qin Empire relied on countless Chinese and old Qin people to pacify the six countries and rule the world.

In his previous life, he recruited a large number of soldiers capable of recruiting and fighting in Guanzhong, so he continues to recruit soldiers now.

On the other hand, he transferred Xu Shu from Bingzhou to Chang'an, and let him serve as the governor of Yongzhou, promote the restoration of people's livelihood, confiscate wasteland, reclaim fertile land, and accumulate strength for his conquest of the world.

…………

The news of Dong Zhuo's killing and Li Shimin's occupation of Chang'an quickly spread and spread among the princes.

Originally, Yang Feng, the remnant of the Baibo army, was stationed in the Sili area. He was going to Chang'an to join him at Li Jue's invitation, but he didn't expect that Li Shimin's action was too fast, and he wiped out Li Jue in three or two strokes. Yang Feng had no choice but to go to Luoyang I have taken refuge in Zhang Yang.

Although Yang Feng joined, this also made Zhang Yang, who occupied Luoyang and the Kanto area, very nervous.

He had a premonition that Li Shimin's next step would be to seize Luoyang, a place with a very important strategic position. Through the powerful force Li Shimin showed in capturing Guanzhong this time, Zhang Yang knew that he would not be able to resist anyway.

Whether to fight or surrender, Zhang Yang couldn't make up his mind for a while.

…………

During the period when Li Shimin captured Guanzhong, Cao Cao ushered in a stage of rapid development.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army revived, broke through Yanzhou prefectures and counties, and beheaded Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.Jinbei Minister Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou pastor.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Turban, and Bao Xin died in battle.Cao Cao "set up a strange ambush and fought day and night", and finally defeated the Yellow Turban.

There are more than [-] dead and more than one million people.Cao Cao collected his elite and formed an army called Qingzhou Soldiers. He had a total of nearly [-] elite soldiers, and his strength rose sharply for a while.

At this time, Cao Cao had already gathered a lot of civil and military personnel, among which the more famous advisers were Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.Among the generals, there are relatives Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhang, Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, as well as Xu Zhu, Yu Jin and others, which can be described as strong and powerful.

When he learned that Li Shimin had occupied Guanzhong and eliminated Dong Zhuo, he was also very surprised, and secretly thought that Li Shimin must be a serious problem for him in the future.It's just that he is single and weak at the moment, only Yanzhou, the land of the Four Wars, has only [-] troops, which is not enough to fight.

After discussing with his advisers, Cao Cao decided to continue to expand his army and prepare for war. At the same time, he marched north to occupy Qingzhou, supported Zhang Yang to defend Luoyang, and secretly contacted the world's heroes to form an alliance against Li Shimin.

…………

At this time, Liu Bei was promoted to the county magistrate of Pingyuan County because of his repeated meritorious service, and later became the prime minister of Pingyuan County.Although Guan Yu was gone, a brave general named Gongsun Ce suddenly appeared out of nowhere.This person is one of the generals that Liu Bei recovered in Liaodong. His identity is unknown. It is said that his martial arts skills are as high as Zhang Fei's.

And because of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, he was deeply respected and loved by the local people. With the support of the local chaebol, he pulled up a team of more than 2 people.He also participated in the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army, and is now entrenched in the Qingzhou area.

At this time, Qingzhou was very flustered, with various forces separatist, and the Yellow Turban Army, the governor of Qingzhou at that time, Jiao He, was also unable to preside over the overall situation.Therefore, the forces of all parties are secretly competing, and they are all staring at this piece of fat.

…………

Although Jushou was secretly disrupting the situation and delaying Han Fu's defeat, but Han Fu was timid and fearful, and it was simply an embarrassment.Under the oppression of Gongsun Zan in the north, he was already frightened. He had already lost the determination to fight to the death, and instead began to think about who to surrender.

Jushou kept persuading him to seek help from Li Shimin of Bingzhou, but Han Fu obviously had no intention of fighting to the death, but instead became more determined and surrendered to save his life.
