372 The Bingzhou turmoil, Ma Teng fought against the six players and princes!

At the end of February 190, the war against Dong ended, and the game entered the era of rebellion among the princes. Players and the princes and the NPC princes intertwined together.

In the entire game, there are as many as fifty or sixty players with vassal power, half of whom participated in the war against Dong, while the other half were unable to participate in the war due to the restrictions on the vassal quota and the long journey.

In addition, there are at least thousands of players at the village and town level scattered in various states. Their strength is better than that of the vassal players, but their strength is definitely not weak. Through continuous annexation wars, they have a chance to become new vassal players.

Because of the complex force, the thirteen states in the world almost stopped fighting. After the war against Dong ended, the Kanto princes retreated to their base. The world was temporarily divided into two major battlefields, the Kanto battlefield and the Kanto battlefield.

The battlefield in Kanto was extremely complicated. After returning to their respective lairs, the NPC princes Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and others quickly began to expand in Jizhou, Gunzhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou and other places. The NPC princes had an advantage, controlling the main cities and building the local areas, and recruiting soldiers was very fast, and they could recover their vitality in a very short time. The 18 princes, including the silent sword of the players, the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, and the lonely twin cities, relying on many villages and towns and players, began to launch troops to conquer the surrounding areas without any scruples. When their spheres of influence were bordered, it was the time when the war between the princes came.

The battleground of Guanxi is mainly a contest between Han Sui, Ma Teng and Zhan Xiaobai in Sanliang, because only they own several heavy cities.

Han Sui owned Jincheng County and Xiping County, and expanded to Longxi County (Longxi City), with three counties;

Zhan Xiaobai owned Wuwei County and Zhangye County, and in the name of the court, he led Jiuquan County, Xihai County and Dunhuang County. He appointed the prefect of the three counties and owned the five major counties in the Hexi Corridor. In addition, he also had more than 20,000 NPC soldiers in the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an, and together with Ma Teng's soldiers and horses to protect the Chang'an court.

Ma Teng owns Anding County and Beidi County, and is annexing Hanyang County (Tianshui City, Jicheng), and also has the strength of three counties. He and Zhan Xiaobai's troops guard the Chang'an court.

Sanliang both have large areas of solid territory and a large number of regular troops - this is the capital they are called Sanliang. Even if Han Sui lost more than 20,000 troops, even if Zhan Xiaobai killed 12,000 Western Liang cavalry in one breath, they were still Sanliang, and they were still rampant in Liang and the two states, and no one could replace them.

In addition to Sanliang, Guanxi also has the power of the imperial court and the power of the seventeen players of Guanxi. I won’t say much about the power of the imperial court. The emperor was young and had no military power, so he was basically undermined by the princes of Guanxi.

The fourth largest force in Guanxi is the 17th Route player and princes of Guanxi. The 17th Route player and princes of Guanxi are actually not weak. Liangzhou has been divided up by Sanliang, so they can only expand in Bingzhou, Yizhou, Hanzhong and other places. Unfortunately, the territory they occupied is only one or two small and medium-sized cities, as well as large villages and towns. Their territory is not stable and may be annexed by other opponents at any time.

The territory of the three forces of Zhan Xiaobai, Han Sui, Ma Teng is distributed in a triangular manner.

Zhan Xiaobai's territory is in the northwest of Liangzhou, and it borders Han Sui and Ma Teng's territory at the same time. After Gulang Gorge, Han Sui's territory to the south, and Ma Teng's territory to the east. The helpless strategic dilemma still exists. Although the war against Dong has gained a lot of benefits, this fundamental problem has not been solved. Unless Zhan Xiaobai makes up his mind to advance to Han Sui or Ma Teng.

Han Sui's territory is south of Liangzhou. He walked along the line of Jincheng - Longxi County (Longxi) - Hanyang County (Tianshui) and could reach the Sanfu in Chang'an. Unfortunately, under the "cooperation" between Zhan Xiaobai and Ma Teng, Ma Teng occupied Tianshui in Hanyang County. Han Sui's army could not enter Sanfu directly, and had to borrow from Ma Teng. This was not easy to borrow, and neither Ma Teng nor Zhan Xiaobai would be willing to let Han Sui's troops come to Chang'an to share the power that controlled the imperial court.

If Han Sui didn't want to start a war with Ma Teng and Zhan Xiaobai, the only way was to send troops to Wudu County, cross Qishan, and enter Yizhou - this was not a very ideal choice. Liangzhou's troops were not very suitable for combat in Shu.

Ma Teng's territory is in the east of Liangzhou, Anding County, North County and Hanyang County. Liangzhou has no spare territory at all. If Ma Teng does not want to start a war with Han Sui and Zhan Xiaobai, but wants to continue to expand, he can only send troops to Bingzhou.

At the end of the battle against Dong, all the princes entered a rest period, stabilized their territory, recruited soldiers, repaired cities, treated the wounded, stored food and grass, and manufactured military equipment.

Zhan Xiaobai general Zhong Yao and Xu Rong, two NPC historical military generals who were good at internal affairs and local governance, as well as independent command of military operations, were transferred to Zhangye County. Together with Zhangye Prefect Jiang Jiong, they began to enter the three counties of Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Xihai County, and took over the military and political power. The process of taking over will inevitably have some turmoil, and may even have military resistance, which requires them to deal with it at their discretion. With the talents of three historical military generals, it is only a matter of time before they take over these three counties.

In addition, Zhan Xiaobai sent Li Ru, Gao Shun and Yang Feng to Wuwei County to conduct internal affairs, recruit soldiers, and train troops. He expanded his troops as much as possible and increased his food and money reserves. In Chang'an, only historical civil and military generals such as Zhang Liao, Jiang Xu, Xu Huang, Jia Xu, Huangfu Li were left behind.

After a month of rest, at the end of March, the vitality of all the princes in the world gradually recovered, and with abundant food and supplies, military mobilization became more and more frequent.

More than half of Zhan Xiaobai's million-player army dispersed, leaving only more than 300,000 troops in Chang'an. Among his million-player army, only 100,000 are regular corps of the Little Bai Alliance, nearly 100,000 Zhangye County Alliance Legions, and nearly 100,000 players from Hexi counties. The remaining fifty or sixty are free players under Zhan Xiaobai's command to participate in the war against Dong, and it is natural that they disperse afterwards. After all, players need to level up and develop. The leveling points in Chang'an are limited. Without large-scale wars, they cannot stay in Chang'an and return to various prefectures and counties in Guanxi.

Zhan Xiaobai's players' forces have been greatly reduced, and the military pressure on Ma Teng and Han Sui has gradually weakened.

Huangfu Song and Ma Teng also had closer contact.

Ma Teng was the first to take military action.

Instead of attacking Jincheng and Gulangxia, he sent troops from the north to Bingzhou. Thirty thousand Western Liang cavalry quickly captured Shangjun, crossed the Yellow River, and captured Hexi City, directly threatening the Bingzhou capital Jinyang, Shangdang, Jiangxian, Yanmen, Jieliang, Pingyang and other places. Ma Teng's military operations were very obvious and he wanted to annex the entire Bingzhou. Once the annexation was successful, with the vast territory of Bingzhou, the Sanliang generals were the strongest with Ma Teng.

One thing to note is that Lu Bu's remnants of the army rested in Shangdang and recovered a little vitality.

The Yellow Turban World, uplifted, the north wind blew, the Ghost King, the Dark Emperor, and the second six Guanxi players and princes were shocked by the military situation of Ma Teng's troops in Bingzhou. Their cities were scattered throughout Bingzhou, uplifted occupying the city of Jinyang, north blew occupied Yanmen, yellow Turban World blew occupied Jiang County, dark emperor occupied Jieliang, and Pingyang was the second in the world.

Ma Teng didn't come, and they fought each other for territory, which was quite lively. However, as soon as Ma Teng's army arrived, they immediately felt the terrifying threat from Ma Teng's army and hurriedly stopped the internal struggle. Letters from various princes were quickly passed on to discuss solutions.

They soon thought of the simplest, most effective and unsatisfactory countermeasures - forming an alliance. The six players and princes quickly concluded an alliance, assembled a huge player army and NPC army, and prepared to resist the invasion of Ma Teng's army.

Early April.

The six players and princes led their own troops, and nearly 200,000 troops fought against Ma Teng's army on the Yellow River closest to Jinyang. After several small battles, the players lost tens of thousands of troops and did not decide the winner. Ma Teng's army did not give them a chance to close together, and fought.

While the two armies were confronting each other, Lu Bu, who was stationed in Shangdang, suddenly led 5,000 cavalry to attack Jinyang. Although it did not capture it, it caused great panic to the six players' army. This was the supply land for the six princes, and a large amount of military equipment was transported to the army from here. By the robbery of Lu Bu, the materials urgently needed on the front line were difficult to transport.

The six players and princes were shocked and in amazement. They didn't understand why Lu Bu suddenly attacked Jinyang. It would be no benefit to Lu Bu at this time.

Under the attack of Lu Bu, the army of the six princes was in chaos and was defeated by Ma Teng. Afterwards, Ma Teng's army advanced to Jinyang and besieged Jinyang City. Lu Bu was defeated and retreated from Jinyang area in panic and returned to Shangdang.

More than 100,000 troops of the six players from the princes were trapped in Jinyang and urgently sought reinforcements from all over the country. Although Jinyang City was a heavy city, it was cut off from the outside world by a large group of cavalry and it was difficult to defend for a long time. There were only two ways, one was to mobilize troops from their respective territory to Jinyang, and the other was to ask for help from other forces.

The envoys who were seeking help rushed to various places to ask for help with letters.

In Chang'an, Tianbao took the letter from the six princes, found Zhan Xiaobai, reported the situation of the six players of Bingzhou, and said, "Boss, do you think we are sending troops to attack Ma Teng?"

Zhan Xiaobai read the battle report and the letter of help, and said in a low voice: "I reminded them as early as February to be careful of Han Sui and Ma Teng. These two are very dangerous and much more dangerous than me. But they didn't take it seriously, thinking that I was scaring them and wanted to use them to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng."

He smiled and looked at the letter of help, "Now that Ma Teng has come, they woke up. They know that there is danger and hope that I will send troops to help them. But can I send troops? If I mobilize troops, Ma Teng will know and turn against me. What benefits can they give me to let Ma Teng fight? Han Sui's army has not yet moved, and he will definitely make a big move when he moves. What if his goal is to come to me, can I start a war with Han Sui and Ma Teng at the same time?"

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while and asked, "By the way, why did Lu Bu suddenly attack Jinyang?"

Tianbao explained: "I checked various recent information about Shangdang. Lu Bu recruited 5,000 soldiers in Shangdang in a short period of time and purchased a large number of horses to form cavalry. Shangdang's recent grain price soared nearly twenty times, which is directly related to this. It can be judged that Lu Bu's army was short of food and grass due to large-scale expansion, and he knew that the army had no military pay to pay because of the purchase of horses. If this dangerous situation continues, it is likely that Lu Bu's army will collapse directly. This forces him to take advantage of the six players' troops to take the risk of robbing Jinyang's food and grass supplies when they go to war with Ma Teng's army. Robbing Jinyang is not good for Lu Bu, but he must do it, otherwise Ma Teng will not attack Shangdang, and he will be finished first because of lack of food and grass."

Zhan Xiaobai pondered for a long time and said:

"Lu Bu is short of food...this is easy to do. Abao, you have three things to do. First, send someone to notify Ma Teng. I will not stop him from sending troops to Bingzhou. But he must give me five thousand war horses, otherwise I will add him to the court tomorrow, and Huangfu Song will not be able to help him. Five thousand war horses and legitimate war horses will be obtained by Bingzhou. Ma Teng should consider it clearly; second, send an envoy to tell the six princes that I will help them resist Ma Teng, and even drive Ma Teng away. But they must provide

I will help this with the food and grass and military pay of 10,000 cavalry. The food and grass and military pay of 10,000 troops are not much, which is much better than losing their city. After the first two things are done, you finally send an envoy to contact Lu Bu, and we secretly supply him with five thousand war horses and 10,000 troops and food and money, asking him to stop harassing the six princes, and assist the six princes to deal with Ma Teng and drive Ma Teng out of Bingzhou. With Lu Bu's ambition, after he has 10,000 troops and food and food, he will never want to see Ma Teng becoming king in Bingzhou.

All three things must be done well in order to hold Ma Teng on the battlefield in Bingzhou. I guess Han Sui will not be able to live in peace for a few days. Our main energy in the near future is still to focus on Han Sui."
