Chapter 372
Chapter 371: General Shen Mighty
The Chang'an court urged Dong Zhuo to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible. The purpose was to transfer 100,000 of the 150,000 troops garrisoned in Liangzhou back to Guanzhong after Dong Zhuo returned.
Liangzhou Prefecture is different from Yizhou. If it was easy to mobilize troops without Dong Zhuo's command, I am afraid that the rebels would have taken advantage of the situation and risen up.
The total Han population in Liangzhou barely exceeded one million, but there were 150,000 permanent troops stationed there. This shows how tense Liangzhou was, otherwise there would be no need for so many garrison troops.
The Chang'an court wanted to rely on Dong Zhuo's prestige to defend Liangzhou with an army of 50,000. It must be said that this was an extremely difficult task.
But the court never expected that Dong Zhuo would refuse to send troops after arriving in Liangzhou and receiving military power.
Just when the court thought that Dong Zhuo was going to separatist power, what the people in the court did not expect was that the Liangzhou rebellion, which had dragged the court down for decades, was completely put down by Dong Zhuo within a month.
The Liangzhou rebellion was extremely powerful. The total strength of the Qiang, Han and Hu rebels was 200,000. It was not difficult to mobilize an army of 300,000 with all their strength, so it became an ineradicable cancer on the northwest border of the Han Dynasty.
After returning to Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo accepted Jia Xu's proposal. While refusing to send troops to the court, he pretended to negotiate with the major forces in Liangzhou and secretly mobilized troops to prepare for war.
Before the Qiang and Hu could react, Dong Zhuo first pointed the finger at the Han rebels in Liangzhou. As soon as Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Han leaders reacted, they were surrounded by Dong Zhuo's 150,000 troops.
After a great battle, the rebels failed to break through. Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Liangzhou rebel leaders had no choice but to surrender.
After Dong Zhuo incorporated the rebels, his total strength increased to an astonishing 200,000. Dong Zhuo, who had no worries about his future, finally decided to fight the Qiang and Hu rebels in a decisive battle.
When the Qiang and Hu leaders heard that Dong Zhuo had returned, everyone was extremely afraid. When they learned that Dong Zhuo had eliminated their allies, they were extremely shocked and naturally went all out to expand their troops and prepare for war.
The decisive battle of Liangzhou finally started in Jincheng. The total strength of Dong Zhuo's army was 200,000, and the Qiang and Hu coalition forces were 350,000, including 250,000 Qiang troops and 100,000 Hu troops.
The difference in strength was nearly doubled, but the final result was shocking.
Dong Zhuo not only won, but also won very beautifully.
After Ma Teng surrendered, the ancestral treasure of the Ma family, the golden hammer held by the ancestor Ma Yuan, also fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo rewarded Li Yuanba with the golden hammer of Lei Gu Weng, and paired him with a peerless horse Wanli Yun.
Li Yuanba, who was holding a beating drum and a golden hammer, and a thousand-mile cloud under his crotch, not only performed the most brilliantly in this battle, but also became the key to victory.
Among the fighting generals before the decisive battle, Li Yuanba killed 33 Qiang and Hu generals alone. The entire Qiang and Hu coalition forces were shocked and their morale dropped greatly.
Dong Zhuo saw the opportunity and couldn't miss it, so he naturally pressed forward with his entire army.
In the battle of 550,000 people, Li Yuanba not only came and went freely, but also relied on his own power to kill the Qiang and Hu commander Beigong Boyu while surrounded by rebels.
After the death of Beigong Boyu, the kingdom took over the command, but was violently killed by Li Yuanba. Then Li Yuanba killed more than ten leaders in a row. The coalition forces fell into complete chaos and were finally defeated by Dong Zhuo.
Under the iron heel of the Liangzhou Army, 150,000 Qiang and Hu allied troops died in the battle, 100,000 were captured, and less than 100,000 fled back in embarrassment. They immediately submitted a surrender form to Dong Zhuo, saying that they would never return. Rebel.
In the Battle of Jincheng, Dong Zhuo became the biggest winner and took complete control of Liangzhou.
Li Yuanba, who performed most eye-catchingly in this battle, was dubbed the mighty general by the collective Qiang people, and the children cried when they heard his name.
After the Chang'an court received the news that Dong Zhuo had completely rebelled in Liangzhou, everyone was stunned. The Liangzhou rebels who had troubled the Han Dynasty for decades were completely suppressed by Dong Zhuo within a month. Everyone felt like they were dreaming.
After being surprised, the Chang'an court couldn't help but worry, because Dong Zhuo, who had integrated the Liangzhou rebels, had a total force of nearly 300,000, making him the prince with the largest number of troops in the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo did not report to the court about his army expansion. Instead, he killed the troops first and then reported them. The reason was that the court could not find fault because Dong Zhuo said that he would use foreign troops to send troops to deal with the Yellow Turbans.
Although the Chang'an court was afraid of Dong Zhuo, it could do nothing about it. After all, the 300,000-strong army was already a force that could influence the situation of the war.
Finally, Liu Hong issued an edict, conferring Dong Zhuo the title of General of Zhenxi, Marquis of Jincheng, and Mud of Liangzhou, and ordered Dong Zhuo to quickly lead the army to suppress the Yellow Turban rebellion.
Even if Dong Zhuo doesn't go at this time, the Chang'an court can do nothing about him. After all, he has 300,000 Liangzhou warriors in his hands, and the court can no longer control him.
But Dong Zhuo not only went, but also brought an army of 200,000 people, which also made the court less wary of Dong Zhuo.
With the reinforcements of Dong Zhuo's 200,000 Liangzhou warriors, the probability of the Han's victory increased a lot.
…
After the Yanzhou Yellow Turbans marched into Sili, they did not join forces with Xiang Yu, but looked at Luoyang from the north and west.
Daguguan, Yellow Turban Camp, Zhangjiao Camp.
Huang Chao knelt down in shame, not even daring to look at Zhang Jue who was sitting on the main seat. He was afraid of seeing the disappointment in Zhang Jue's eyes.
Hang Yu who was supposed to be in Xiaopingjin. Now he is standing next to Zhang Jiao, and he is looking at Huang Chao below with a playful expression, which shows that he must be extremely happy in his heart.
Once upon a time, Xiang Yu regarded Huang Chao as his biggest rival in life, and he was almost tricked to death by Huang Chao at Hulao Pass. However, another heavy defeat completely disqualified Huang Chao from competing with him.
At this thought, Xiang Yu really wanted to laugh wildly in front of Huang Chao and then laugh at him.
However, considering that Zhang Jiao was nearby, Xiang Yu canceled the idea.
"Get up. Although we lost the battle in Kaifeng, we can't blame you Huang Chao alone. You don't have many generals under your command, but Qin Hao has all the powerful generals in Hulao Pass under his command. If I can help you get them all, If we have the same lineup, we will never lose this battle.”
Seeing that Zhang Jiao not only defended himself, but also took the blame on himself, Huang Chao was moved to tears, but when he thought that he had not even rescued his benefactor's daughter, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
“Huang Chao has betrayed the trust of his mentor and has no shame to continue to stay here with his brothers. I beg his mentor to allow Huang Chao to find a solution and return to the field to live out his remaining days.”
Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard that Huang Chao was actually going to disarm and return to the fields.
Huang Chao, who was once so high-spirited and leading the country, has now been reduced to the point of voluntarily resigning. At this thought, everyone felt a little complicated.
“Asshole!”
Zhang Jiao slammed the table angrily and shouted: "I was also defeated by Huangfu Song. Do I have to disarm and return to the field like you? Huang Chao, a big defeat has shattered your confidence. I really misjudged you."
“Good teacher!”
Huang Chao looked at Zhang Jiao blankly, tears streaming down his face no longer possible.
