Chapter 319: The Birth of the Overlord in Guanzhong
In Hirado Castle, a wealthy businessman from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mi Zhu, became the guest of honor for local merchants and samurai. In the eyes of local warriors and businessmen, Mi Zhu was rich and had a very high status.
Mi Zhu was indeed a wealthy businessman, but his status was not necessarily as high as the Eastern Ying people imagined.
Hirado City Lord Ping Yi Sheng sent the local mansion to Mi Zhu to live in, and some retainers wanted to give their daughter to Mi Zhu for marriage, so as to leave a way out for him in the distant Eastern Han Dynasty.
Mi Zhu inherited his ancestral business at a young age, and was rich in wealth, and he was also engaged in the work of Xuzhou animal husbandry. In a sense, Mi Zhu's life was much more nourishing than that of the warriors on the Eastern Kyushu Island.
Dozens of large ships have arrived in Hirado, and they have already dumped all the goods. They are buying local specialties and transporting them back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Different civilizations have their own specialties, and only the back-and-forth trade between the two sides can have the greatest profit margins.
Hirado Castle has not been very peaceful recently. Mi Zhu can see samurai and ashigaru being summoned constantly in Hirado Castle, and the Hirado Castle Lord also goes on expeditions from time to time.
Mi Zhu heard that the lord of Hirado was about to perish a daimyo named Ryuzakuji, and he was competing with the Otomo family and the Shimadzu family for control of Kyushu Island.
"The war here is also quite brutal."
Mi Zhu learned that Kyushu Island may also have a population of several million.
After the trade here, Mi Zhu was ready to get up and return to the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had already heard that Xuzhou Mu married two women at the same time, but he did not have his own sister. Not only did he feel that he had lost a good opportunity to invest.
Strange things to live in. It is the easiest to rely on women.
Hearing that Mi Zhu was going to leave Hirado, the city lord of Hirado summoned Mi Zhu: "The next time we meet, maybe I have already defeated the Otomo family and the Shimadzu family and become an issue for Kyushu. At that time, the scale of trade between us can be even larger."
"What is the Kyushu Quest?"
"You should know that there are four islands in Dongying, and the theme of Kyushu is the hegemon of Kyushu Island. Oda Nobunaga has taken control of Kyoto and began to deploy martial arts in the world. I must unify Kyushu Island as soon as possible. I hope I can maintain the Xuzhou Mu of the Han Empire. Good relationship."
Ping Yisheng narrowed his eyes and respected the wealthy merchants in Xuzhou.
He needs to get goods and tariffs from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"I am the captain of Dongdu, and I will have the opportunity to meet in the future, as long as I don't become an enemy."
Mi Zhu does not think Kyushu Island will be a threat, because the population of Kyushu Island is not as large as Xuzhou. The current Ping Yisheng occupies one-third of the territory of Kyushu Island, which is not at the same level as the Chutian forces.
Ping Yisheng sent Mi Zhu away from Hirado Castle.
"The annexation of the Otomo family and the Shimadzu family may have the qualifications to fight against Oda Nobunaga. However, many players seem to support Oda Nobunaga and want to unify Honshu Island. Let the sixth day Demon King unify the world, it is really It's disturbing. Instead of letting Oda Nobunaga unify the world and lead the world to war with the suzerain, it's better to let me, Hirai Yoshimori, unify the world..."
In the Guanzhong area, Dong Zhuo's direct line Xiliang Corps had been at war with the Bingzhou Corps represented by Lü Bu for several months, and the blood flowed into rivers. Tens of thousands of people fled to the safety of Xianyang City to avoid the war, so that the population of Xianyang City reached one million.
In Chang'an City, Lü Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to fight, and was surrounded by a large number of Xiliang cavalry led by Li Jue and Guo Si, and suffered heavy casualties.
Lu Bu's weapon was seized by Xue Rengui, and Lu Bu, who did not have a halberd, could only use a substitute. No matter how powerful Lü Bu's force was, he was still unable to resist the tens of thousands of cavalry from the Western Liang Dynasty.
"General,
Enemy cavalry, retreat quickly! "
Gao Shun tried his best to protect Lu Bu, but Lu Bu rushed out of the enemy line and killed hundreds of Xiliang cavalry, but it was difficult to reverse the situation.
Lu Bu fought bloody battles, but in the end he had to return to Chang'an City because of the lack of troops.
"Why so..."
Wang Yun was worried when he saw Lü Bu's defeat on the city wall.
In the name of avenging Dong Zhuo, dozens of Xiliang generals, such as Li Jue and Guo Si, attacked Chang'an city day and night without giving time to recruit troops and horses for the defenders of Chang'an city!
Li Jue and Guo Si urged a large number of villagers to attack the city, and they possessed the strong army and horses left by Dong Zhuo, occupying an absolute advantage.
Chang'an City was crumbling and could no longer hold on.
"General Lu Bu can flee to Xianyang City. Colonel Sili has 100,000 troops in Xianyang City. If he is willing to take in the general, he can send troops to help the general quell the rebellious Xiliang Army."
Jia Xu suggested to Lu Bu to flee to Xianyang City after he returned to the city in panic.
Facing Chang'an City, which was about to fall, Lu Bu couldn't help but panic, and persuaded Wang Yun to join Jiujiu Lao Qin in Xianyang City.
Wang Yun was reluctant to leave Chang'an City and left him under the tutelage of others.
Soon, Chang'an City was breached, and the generals of the Bingzhou faction, such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun, took the door and went to Xianyang City!
Xiliang iron cavalry galloped in from the city gate and captured the emperor!
"Old Wang Yun killed the lord, and in the past few months, he has killed a large number of brothers and killed him!"
Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu and other Xiliang generals hated Wang Yun deeply, surrounded the palace, and captured Wang Yun alive.
In Xianyang City, the scouts came to the lord's mansion non-stop.
Jiujiu Lao Qin recalled all the generals and troops to Xianyang City, ready to accomplish great things.
"This time, we are waiting for 150,000 soldiers and horses. We can annex the state and Xiliang corps, and combine the power of the three corps to decide the commander."
Jiujiu Lao Qin looked around at the generals present, and all the generals under his command were like wolves and tigers.
When Lü Bu was at war with Li Jue, Guo Si and others, Jiujiu Lao Qin secretly recruited soldiers and horses.
"Meng Tian, Meng Wu, Li Xin, each of you leads an army. Yang Dayan, you are my escort and command the cavalry of the imperial guards."
Jiujiu Lao Qin looked at a wandering general who was recruited in Guanzhong, who was majestic and tall.
Yang Dayan, like Hua Mulan, belonged to the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The conflict was strong and fierce, and the galloping horses couldn't keep up with his speed. People at that time thought that even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not so brave!
With Yang Dayan and the Imperial Guard, Jijiu Lao Qin had the confidence to control Lu Bu.
He believed that as long as there were not many troops allocated to Lu Bu, Lu Bu might not be able to use them.
150,000 troops from Guanzhong pulled out camp from outside Xianyang City and headed to Chang'an under the leadership of three commanders.
Lü Bu, Gao Shun and other generals from Bingzhou came to Xianyang City to seek refuge, and they were horrified when they encountered the mighty Guanzhong Corps.
The golden fire cavalry in red and black armor opened the way in front, Meng Tian only showed a pair of eyes, looking at the Bingzhou Army Corps that escaped from Chang'an City indifferently.
Lü Bu's Bingzhou Army suffered heavy losses in the battles of Luoyang and Chang'an, and there were fewer than ten thousand people left.
Gao Shun's armor was damaged, and Cao Xing and other generals were also damaged.
Zhang Liao had been captured by Cao Cao at the Battle of Luoyang and surrendered to Cao Cao.
Now Lu Bu is at his weakest.
Facing the indifferent and aloof Meng Tian, he did not dare to underestimate him.
With less than 10,000 remaining soldiers, Lu Bu was no longer the opponent of Meng Tian and Meng Tian's golden fire cavalry.
There were 40,000 men in Meng Tian's army, and as long as Meng Tian gave an order to attack, it would drown Lu Bu's remnants of defeated soldiers.
Gao Shun seemed to realize something when he saw that the Guanzhong Army Corps appeared at the top when both the Bingzhou Army Corps and the Xiliang Army Corps were defeated.
Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Jiujiu Lao Qin appeared under the protection of the fierce generals Yang Dayan and Qin Ruishi. He glanced at Lu Bu, who used to serve under Dong Zhuo.
He wants to do something that Cao Cao has never done in history - let Lv Bu and Lv Bu's ministries work for him.
Jiujiu Lao Qin rode a Liangzhou horse with a sword on his waist, and behind him was a man of 150,000 pi who was persistent and sharp.
Jiujiu Lao Qin had already calculated that Lu Bu would escape from Chang'an, so he asked, "Isn't this Lu Fengxian?"
In the face of the powerful foreign princes, Lu Bu's personal bravery seemed so weak in front of an army of 150,000: "Lieutenant Sili, I want to use the army of 50,000 to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si and retake Chang'an."
"Allegiance to me, you and your generals will become my retainers. Chang'an will become my territory."
Jiujiu Lao Qin made no secret of his ambitions at this time. No matter how long the Bingzhou Legion was with less than 10,000 people, it could not be the opponent of the 150,000-strong elite army.
Lu Bu's ingenuity is not high, but he is not completely reckless. He knows that this time he will be annexed by Ji Jiu Lao Qin.
Fortunately, Lu Bu had no experience of becoming a monarch on his own, so he took refuge in Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun. Even if he took refuge in Jiujiu Lao Qin, it would not be a big deal, so he took the initiative to give his allegiance to Jiji Lao Qin: "Ming Gong got me. , I will lead the cavalry, and Duke Ming will lead the infantry, and the world can be unified!"
"Meng Tian, what do you think?"
Jiujiu Lao Qin asked Meng Tian, his most trusted cavalry commander.
"Lu Bu has ambitions, but he may not be willing to serve his master faithfully."
"As long as he is given less than ten thousand troops, he cannot betray."
Jiujiu Lao Qin was still reluctant to kill Lu Bu and Gao Shun, he believed that his own skills could make Lu Bu and Gao Shun die. As for Lu Bu's other generals, as long as they are lured for profit, they can be easily bought.
"You have to be the first to be the cavalry general, and it is just around the corner to unify the world. Before that, Li Jue and Guo Si must be forced to land."
Jiujiu Lao Qin annexed the Bingzhou Army Corps, which was less than 10,000 people, and continued to lead the army of 150,000 people to march towards Chang'an City.
Jiujiu Lao Qin's guard Yang glared at Lu Bu with big eyes, as if he was not afraid of Lu Bu.
Lv Bu could not be the core senior of Jiujiu Lao Qin at all. With Yang Dayan as his guard, Jijiu Lao Qin did not need to recognize Lu Bu as his adopted son, nor did he need Lv Bu to be his guard.
Li Jue and Guo Si attacked Chang'an, plundered and killed Wang Yun, and made Jia Xu their military advisor.
When 150,000 Guanzhong Corps and less than 10,000 Bingzhou Corps surrounded Chang'an, the Xiliang Corps panicked.
In order to eliminate Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, they suffered heavy losses, and at this time they did not have the energy to fight against Jiujiu Lao Qin's 150,000 Guanzhong Army.
The Xiliang Legion did not have a stable territory in Guanzhong, but Jiujiu Lao Qin had Xianyang City, You Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi as spheres of influence, and could besiege Chang'an City for a long time.
Li Jue and Guo Si saw that the golden fire cavalry and Qin Ruishi outside the city were no less than their Xiliang army.
"The surrender of the Xiliang Legion, let go of the past and still serve as generals!"
Jiujiu Lao Qin sent envoys to recruit Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
Unlike Wang Yun, Jiujiu Lao Qin was willing to forgive the actions of the Xiliang Army as the price of recruiting the Xiliang Army.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others judged that they had a high probability of being unable to defend Chang'an City, and worried that their fate would be the same as Wang Yun's. Once Chang'an City was breached, their heads would fall. So they went to ask the counselor Jia Xu's opinion.
"Xiaowei Sili is a more ambitious Ming Duke than Dong Zhuo. He has strong generals like clouds and strong troops, but there is only a lack of generals. You have the ability to command troops and horses, why not serve for Sili Xiaowei?"
Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, said, "We are worried that Colonel Sili will go back and kill us after I dedicate the city."
Jia Xu pondered: "Please let me take the risk myself and go to lobby Captain Sili, and ask him to make an oath to heaven and never break his promise."
The general of the Xiliang faction saw Jia Xu, a fellow countryman, and offered himself up, thinking that he was not the opponent of Lao Qin, the captain of the Sili school, and couldn't help but be grateful.
The gates of Chang'an City opened, and Jia Xu brought several envoys to Jijiu Lao Qin's camp.
"Wenhe, if you make a great contribution this time, I will present you to the emperor as a prefect."
Jiujiu Lao Qin saw Jia Xu's great deeds and did not hesitate to reward him.
The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an City, and when Chang'an City is conquered, he can hold the Son of Heaven to make no ministers.
Jia Xu refused: "The captain is listed in the third public, and Wen He has short qualifications and cannot be ordered."
Jiujiu Lao Qin knew that Jia Xu was wise to protect himself and was unwilling to Lin Xiuyu, so he said: "If you support the emperor, I will worship you as Zhi Jinwu and seal the Marquis of Ting."
Jia Xu thanked him: "Thank you, my lord."
In the fifth year of the lord's calendar, Dong Zhuo's remnants opened the gate of Chang'an City, surrendered to Jijie Lao Qin, the commander of the Sili School, and took him in for Jiji Lao Qin.
Jiujiu Lao Qin entered the city of Chang'an, supported the emperor, and was enthroned by Sili Commander as General of Chariots and Kaifu, led by Sili Commander, Jiajie, Marquis of Chiyang, replaced Dong Zhuo, and dominated the government!
Jiujiu Lao Qin formed the Guanzhong Corps, the Bingzhou Corps, and the Liangzhou Corps, a total of three major armies, and they shook Guanzhong!
Jiujiu Lao Qin controlled the three counties of Youfufeng, Zuofengyi and Jingzhaoyin, namely the Sanfu area. At the same time, Jiujiu Lao Qin marched towards Hongnong County and Sanhe area, intending to recover Luoyang, Hanoi, Hedong and other places, and peep into Kanto.
The sudden rise of the great prince Jijiu Lao Qin made all the lords look sideways, and the limelight was the same.
All players know that the emperor will be used to command the princes. This time the emperor falls into the hands of Jiujiu Lao Qin, and it is almost impossible for other princes to snatch the emperor.
"Yang Dayan, Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si..."
Chutian was surprised to learn that Jiujiu Lao Qin had become the overlord of Guanzhong and forcibly subdued the Bingzhou Army Corps and the Xiliang Army Corps.
Every great prince has his own means. If Chutian hadn't gained three new prefectures and states, he might have been surpassed by Jijiu Lao Qin.
"Jijiu Lao Qin may become a strong enemy. If he wins Longwangshu, he will gain one-third of the world."
Chutian has a sense of crisis.
Once Jiujiu Lao Qin occupied Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and Bashu, then he reached the sphere of influence envisioned by Zhuge Liang during the Northern Expedition during the Three Kingdoms period.
The lords in Longxi, Bingzhou, and Hanzhong were more worried than Chutian about the threat that Jijiu Laoqin would bring. They are likely to be attacked by Jijiu Laoqin.
