[Sixth-level Attendant—Stunning Imperial Concubine—Princess Wannian·Liu Yu]

[This attendant will provide the following bonuses to the trainee agent: 5. Orthodoxy +5; [-]. Destiny +[-]! 】

[This attendant has the following special skills: [-]. Palace etiquette: She has impeccable etiquette and is synonymous with elegance and nobility! [-]. The sound is light and the body is soft: I understand everything! [-]. The style of a big woman: She will not be jealous or jealous, let alone harm your woman and children! [-]. Royal majesty: It has a weak attribute of imperial power! 】

Another rare servant with added orthodoxy and destiny. Dong Huang was very satisfied with the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty who had a soft personality and an even softer body.

In order to allow her to talk more about the love between mother and daughter, she was specially allowed to stay at her aunt's house for a few days.

I also ran into my sister-in-law several times.

It is said that Liu Yu's sister-in-law was quite aggressive and bold at that time, and she was not like her husband at all.

Of course, Dong Huang was not a person who was addicted to beauty. He knew the importance of military strength and speed. After the wedding, he did not delay for too long. In the name of crusade against the Liangzhou rebels, he took turns to cultivate one or two people. Yue's main force started the journey to Shu.

Under normal circumstances, spring is not a suitable time to use troops, because it is very likely to delay the farming season and cause disasters such as famine.

But Dong Huang does not intend to operate in this world for a long time, so he naturally has no worries in this regard. In addition, Dong Huang plundered the three counties of Hedong and many counties in Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou. Whether it was food, armaments, or wealth, it was extremely It was huge and rich, enough for Dong Huang to continue fighting, so Dong Huang didn't care and went to war unexpectedly.

Perhaps out of guilt for driving his nephew who had made great contributions to the remote Shu land, or perhaps because he needed Dong Huang to help him fight against the Xiliang warlords, Dong Zhuo was also extremely generous to Dong Huang, his eldest nephew, and not only gave Dong Huang A lot of food and equipment freed Dong Huang from logistical worries and opened the door to military convenience.

Dong Zhuo not only turned a blind eye to Dong Huang's behavior of expanding the army, but also generously placed the army previously led by Dong Huang under Dong Huang's command, and chose to ignore Dong Huang's behavior of plundering the population, which made Dong Huang's Military strength and potential are expanding rapidly.

Today, in addition to the nearly [-] elites recognized by the Infinite War Space, Dong Huang also has [-] veterans of hundreds of battles and [-] strong recruits.

These veterans who followed Dong Huang through many battles include [-] heavy cavalry, [-] light (bow) cavalry, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] heavy armored infantry.

The combat literacy and equipment of the above-mentioned army soldiers can reach the level of third- and fourth-level soldiers, and because these soldiers have followed Dong Huang to victory one after another, both their military morale and their sense of belonging to Dong Huang are extremely high. Without Dong Zhuo It is only a matter of time before it exerts influence and digests it thoroughly.

Most of the [-] strong recruits were "rescued" from the three counties of Hedong, the strong and good sons of good families whose families had been ruined, and the elite soldiers selected from the prisoners in previous battles.

Under Dong Huang's brainwashing, they were full of hatred for the Kwantung Army, and they were full of recognition of Dong Huang, who reassigned women to them, and promised to lead them to build a career and share housing and land. Overall, their morale was pretty good. Most of them have experienced the war in Hebei and are qualified supplementary soldiers and servants. Their equipment is generally at the level of second-level soldiers and can be converted into combat soldiers at any time when necessary.

In addition to these soldiers, there were millions of civilians accompanying the army this time.

Among these people were the family members of Dong Huang's generals and soldiers, as well as captured craftsmen, women, and "homeless" young men and women.

Bringing these people along was not only to show Dong Zhuo that he had no ambitions and really wanted to bring people to settle down in Sichuan, but also to stabilize the morale of the army and keep the families of his officers and soldiers in their hands completely, so that they could work for him without any worries. Fight to the death.

Of course, from ancient times to the present, the migration of millions of people has not been an easy task, even if there is an order from the central government to allow counties and counties along the way to receive them.

In order to escort these family members, Dong Huang divided them into men's and women's camps, implemented militarized management, and asked them to act as civilian husbands, transporting the huge amounts of materials Dong Huang captured.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for a [-]-strong army to be supported by [-] civilians. After this calculation, the people under Dong Huang's leadership are not that many. With so many people, horses and supplies, it is unrealistic to enter Hanzhong via plank roads such as Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road. Even walking on the Chencang Ancient Road is a bit laborious. The best option is to go in the opposite direction. Qishan Road in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. Taking this path will inevitably touch the fragile nerves of the Xiliang warlords.

Historically, Cao Cao organized his troops and said he would attack Hanzhong, but this triggered the rebellion of Ma Chao and Han Sui, causing the two men to join forces and beat Cao A'an, cutting off his beard and abandoning his robe.

This time Dong Huang goes on an expedition, even without Dong Zhuo's request, he will inevitably conflict with the Xiliang warlords. Only by defeating the Xiliang warlords can a safe passage into Shu be opened up for the miners.

Since he knew that there would be a conflict with the Xiliang warlords, Dong Huang of course had to act first.

Long before the army set off for the expedition, Dong Huang sent two armies with Zhang Liao and Zhang He as the main generals and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and others as deputy generals as the vanguard.

Zhang Liao's main attack direction was Anding County.

Since Anding was captured by the Qiang people, the Eastern Han Dynasty court has been unable to rule effectively, which has given rise to local powerful separatist forces, large and small, the largest of which is the Yang family in Linjing County. When the Ma and Han coalition invaded Chang'an, Yang Qiu, the leader of the Yang family in Linjing County, also led people to join the Ma and Han coalition.

Because Anding County is close to the only way for the army to go west, it is very important to defeat Ding County first.

Zhang Liao, who had a full cavalry force, came and went like the wind. With the banner of the imperial army and his strong maneuverability, he unexpectedly entered Anding County.

The large and small warlords in Anding County, who never thought that the imperial court would suddenly attack at this season, were completely confused.

Wherever Zhang Liao's army passed, most of the cities were "happy" to welcome the king's army. However, Zhang Liao did not use cavalry to attack the few who refused to defend the city. Instead, he spared them and went straight to Anding City.

It only took Zhang Liao three days from marching into Anding to besieging the city of Anding.

Yang Qiu, who was separatist in Anding, failed to react at all. He was unable to advance and retreat, and was eventually surrounded in Anding City.

Yang Qiu looked at the endless army under the city and felt numb all over.

At this time, he was just a small separatist warlord. He had not yet grown to the stage where he cooperated with Ma and Han in history. The area he controlled was also pitifully small. How could he be worthy of being conquered by the imperial army?

But the matter has come to an end, and there is no point in saying more!
  The only choice left before Yang Qiu was to surrender or defend!
  Yang Qiu is also a smart man. In the original history, after Ma Chao's defeat, he chose to surrender in the face of Cao Cao's attack. Now, although his father is still alive, the father and son together found that besides surrender, There is no choice.

Stability is their family property. If they abandon this family property, whether they go to Ma Teng and Han Sui or to the Huns, they will be dependent on others, and they may even be beheaded to please Dong Zhuo!

Moreover, now that the imperial army is going out, it is obvious that they have the intention of pacifying Ma Teng and Han Sui in one fell swoop. The Dong family has a strong foundation in Liangzhou and is very respected by the Qiang people. As long as they are handled properly, it is not difficult to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui!
  As for the Huns, they are also a declining force that has declined and may be wiped out sometime!
  In this case, it would be better to take refuge in Dong Zhuo early!

So, Yang Qiu quickly surrendered to Kaicheng with his whole family!
  Later, out of Yang Qiu's desire to submit to the imperial court and become an official, Dong Huang sent Yang Qiu's father and family members to Chang'an, while Yang Qiu and Zhang Liao did not immediately join the large army, but went to capture Anding. Other cities not under the rule of the imperial court.

Dong Huang promised Yang Qiu that no matter whether the Western Expedition went smoothly or not, he would recommend him as a stable governor!
  Another unexpected joy of regaining stability was the acquisition of a young general named Hu Zun. Dong Huang did not have a deep impression of him, but based on the idea that the more the merrier, he allowed him to serve under Zhang Liao.
