The book picks up. (Last link: "I. Taishi Chaos, the Ninth Road Army Cuts down the World")
The Ling League, which occupied the four eastern counties of The Prefecture, had just dispersed the battle meeting, and the regimental commanders rushed back to their garrisons.
After an hour, another group of men and horses rushed out from the camp, which was obviously different from the previous teams that had left, no longer the carriage took the lead, and the cavalry followed it, but divided into three parts: the forward, the middle army, and the rear army, and the number was also significantly larger, with more than a hundred people.
One man in the front held the reins in one hand and pressed a large flag on his shoulder with the other, and the big flag fluttered with the wind, and there was nothing on it except a huge "order"; then the four people also had flags, but all of them were bunting flags, one size smaller than the big flag, and the four men formed two columns; behind them were two long columns of cavalry. This is the striker team.
The Chinese army consisted of two carriages, the first one had five horses, according to the Han system should be a Taishou first-class official, there are small windows on both sides of the carriage, and the carriage must be sitting officials; the rear carriage has only two horses, and the goods that should be pulled from the size and appearance.
The rear army was also cavalry, and like other cavalrymen, in addition to carrying bows and arrows, there was also a grain bag, and it seemed that their trip was not close and the time was urgent, otherwise it would not all be cavalry.
A few days later, the group arrived at the famous southwestern city of Chengdu, which was the capital of Yizhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Under the city gate, the leader of the Allied Men and Horses shouted toward the city: "Please report to the Houzhou Pastor of Yangcheng, and order the Alliance diplomacy to meet him." After a while, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and a soldier went out of the city to examine the relevant documents, and then brought the team of people and horses into the city, the process was quite skilled, presumably the two sides often had this exchange.
This group of people and horses went straight to a mansion in the center of the city, called the Supervision Yuan, and inside the courtyard was the office of Liu Yan, the mu of Yizhou.
The state pastor was above the han dynasty ju county guard, and held the military and political power of a state. Yizhou consisted of eight counties, the western four counties were controlled by Liu Yan, the eastern four counties were actually controlled by Ling Huchu, and Ling Huchu was Yongchang Taishou, nominally still under Liu Yan's command, but only in name, Yunnan, Hanjia, and Basan Counties were all called Linghu Chuma as the head of the Zhan, and the various departments were collectively called Ling Meng, the full name was "Ling Qi Wenwu", which is rumored to originate from the "Sun Tzu March chapter": "Therefore the order is to be taken by wen, Qi is to be wu, and it is said to be a must take", which is called Ling Meng.
Lingmeng had its own military power and personnel, but every New Year's Day, it offered property to the Han Emperor and the Zhou Mu to show that he was still a Han subject and obeyed the orders of the Han Dynasty.
The official of the Alliance's visit was the League's diplomatic envoy, Yu Qing, who single-handedly controlled all the diplomatic affairs of the entire Alliance, and was one of the core personnel, with an extremely heavy weight. In front of the Prefecture Pastoral Hall, there was already a person standing there, but it was not Liu Yan, but Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Zhang.
Yu Qing arched his hand and said, "I have seen Lieutenant Fengche, and the lord of my family has an urgent matter, so I will meet Lord Houzhou of Lingzunyang City."
Liu Zhang replied after the salute, "Brother, it is very unfortunate that my father's body has itched in recent days and it is inconvenient to see people, so I have full authority to replace him."
Yu Qing was slightly embarrassed, as if he had already thought of this festival, and said, "If you don't see the State Pastor, I will visit again on another day." Then the man left a cart of belongings behind, turned his head and left.
Liu Zhang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect That Qing Qing to be so determined, he couldn't slow down for half a day. After a while, he quickly let the horses chase them out, and it was not until a few miles outside the city that he caught up with Qingqing.
"General Yue, you have traveled a long way, so you might as well rest for a day and then go," Liu Zhang said quickly as soon as he caught up with Yu Qing.
"The great enemy is coming, and the contemptible people really have no intention of resting, and here is a letter from the lord of my family, please hand it over to the state pastor." Saying that he would hand the letter to Liu Zhang, he quickly stepped up his whip, did not say a word, and led the people away.
Liu Zhang took the letter in his hand, for a long time he could not slow down, and when Yu Qing and his party had long gone, he remembered to open the letterhead in his hand, only to see that there were not many words on the letter, "The skin does not exist, Mao will be attached?" Ruoyang Chenghou is powerless to help Ye Meng, but please guard against the street kiosk, if the two passes are lost, Yizhou is finished! Let the fox chu worship". Liu Zhang said slowly, then turned the horse's head, and then walked towards the city.
On the way back to the city, the military attaché accompanying him asked, "Envoy, if Liu Zhang does not chase him out, the letter will not be given to him?" ”
Yu Qing said lightly, "If the state pastor is willing to save me, he will definitely meet and discuss the plan to jointly retreat from the enemy; if he wants to borrow the hand of Dong Thief and cut my strength, it does not matter whether this letter is given to him or not."
"I hope that he can see the powerful relationship clearly, and guard the Hanzhong Street Pavilion all the way, so that Dong Thief can't attack the lord with both wings." If our alliance is attacked by the combination of east and west, it will certainly be powerless to return to heaven, and at that time, Liu Yan will not be able to defend him for three days.", these words in the back, Yu Qing has turned his head back from the military attaché, as if he said it to himself.
After saying that, Yu Qing ordered a light horse to break away from the team and quickly reported to the ally...
At the beginning of February of the fifteenth year of the calendar, Dong Zhuo, the Eastern Han Dynasty's eunuch, on the grounds that the princes of various places were "not ordered by the king", sent out the nine roads to conquer the world, but in fact he expanded his power for himself and eliminated dissidents.
Dong Zhuo's general Duan Sheng marched all the way into Yizhou, and in mid-February, Duan Sheng had to report that Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, had heavily deployed hanzhong street pavilions, so he led the Huayin army of 80,000, claiming that 150,000 were passed into Yizhou by Ye Meng, and Ye Meng ordered only more than a thousand allied defenders to resist for more than a day and abandon Guanguan and lose.
On February 18, the headquarters of The League's Yongchang commander, Ling League's Lord Yongchang Taishou Order Fox Chu duan sat in the middle, The Minister Shi Jun sat next to him, the diplomatic envoy Yu Qing and a series of civilian ministers below were all present, and there was only one person on the side of the military general, named ZiChuan, who was the head of the League's main Janissaries Regiment.
Zi Chuan saw that the lord of the alliance and the ministers were talking and laughing together, as if there was no matter of simmering and breaking the barrier, he wanted to ask a question, and saw that the others were so relaxed, thinking that if I opened my mouth, I would lose for a while, so I also followed the crowd to drink, and I did not ask.
Suddenly, a summons of soldiers entered the Taishou Mansion, "Report, Lord, after Duan Simmer broke through the pass, the soldiers divided into four roads, respectively, towards nanchong, Padang, Youjiang and Ba County, of which Duan Simmer personally led more than 30,000 people to BaCheng, the capital of Ba County. ”
Zi Chuan listened, his face turned pale, and he exclaimed, "It's over."
