    Li Ji was well aware of Li Ru's ability, so he obeyed immediately. While resting and reorganizing his army, he sent people to Liangzhou to negotiate peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui.  When Ma Teng and Han Sui learned that the righteous army had been disintegrated and that they had expanded a lot of territory, they agreed to Li Cui's peace proposal.

    So far, the Han Dynasty has experienced successive ups and downs, and the imperial power has lost all its prestige. The princes of the world have supported their own troops and have shown their ambitions.

    It was only after Wenhan led the Hedong Army back to Anyi in Hedong that he learned from Xilong that so many changes had occurred in Hedong in the year he left Hedong.

    "Two months after he joined the Righteous Division Alliance, the wealthy families in Hedong actually colluded with Guo Da, the leader of the Baibo bandits, and captured Changling, Pingyin, and Dangyin counties.  Fortunately, Wenhan left more than 10,000 soldiers to guard Hedong. When Xilong learned about it, he and Gao Shun immediately ordered 8,000 elite soldiers to conquer the Baibo bandits.  At the same time, Xilong found Wei Zhongdao and borrowed thousands of private soldiers from him to add troops to the counties in Hedong.

    After that, Xilong and Gao Shun first fought against the 20,000 Baibo bandits led by Baibo bandit general Yang Feng in Changling. The Baibo bandits were so powerful that Xilong had no choice but to confront them head-on. After defeating them in several battles, they lured the enemy deeper.  , Yang Feng took Xiangling and Xinzheng counties in Hedong within ten days. He was so proud that when he was about to take another city, he was ambushed by Xilong in a mountain. Yang Feng was killed and defeated.  The remaining soldiers returned to Xinzheng.  Unexpectedly, Xinzheng had long been captured by Gao Shun's army. When Yang Feng just returned to Xinzheng, Gao Shun ordered his sergeants to close the city gates and beat the dogs, killing the Baibo thieves led by Yang Feng and unable to fight back.  Yang Feng fought bloody battles and fought to the death with thousands of his henchmen, and was able to successfully break through. Yang Feng was defeated and all the remaining Baibo bandits surrendered.

    After Gao Shun and Xilong gathered 6,000 Baibo bandits, they led their troops to attack wildly and regained the lost lands such as Xiangling, Xinzheng, and Changling.  After Yang Feng was defeated, he fled to Pingyin and joined forces with Han Hao, another general of the Baibo thieves. Xilong and Gao Shun led the Hedong army to pursue Pingyin. Xilong saw that the thieves in Pingyin County were powerful and densely packed with people.  At a glance, there are all Baibo thieves, they dare not move lightly, and they will set up camp for the time being.

    When Han Yan heard that Yang Feng said that he had lost nearly half of his troops and horses in Xilong's hands, he was furious and wanted to lead the army to fight to the death with Xilong.  Yang Fenggang had experienced the power of Xilong deeply and knew that this talent was extremely intelligent and full of ingenuity, so he quickly reminded Han Bo not to act rashly.  Han Yan agreed with his mouth, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

    When he was in Hedong, he was only afraid of the three sworn brothers Wenhan, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang. At that time, all three of them had left Hedong. Han Zhao expected that there would be no one in Hedong.  At night, he ordered ten thousand Baibo thieves to attack the camp. Just as Han Hao led his troops to the Hedong camp, he found that the surrounding area was empty and deserted, and he was shocked.

    Han Hao knew that he had been tricked, and just as he was about to retreat, he was attacked by soldiers and horses ambushed by Xilong and Gao Shun on both sides.  The 10,000 Baibo thieves led by Han Hao were immediately in chaos. They were killed and lost their helmets and armor. They ran away with their heads in their hands, just running for their lives.

    Yang Feng, who was in Pingyin City, was awakened by the screams of fighting outside. He quickly called the sergeant and asked him carefully. He was shocked when he learned that Han Hao had led the army to a sneak attack. He thought that Han Hao was ambushed by Xilong.  , immediately panicked and led thousands of troops to rescue Han Yu.

    Yang Feng led his army to charge forward, but Xilong had already predicted it and ordered Pei Yuanshao to ambush on the roadside.  When Pei Yuanshao saw Yang Feng and his troops charging towards him, they all lay still. Until they were close, Pei Yuanshao roared loudly, and two thousand crossbowmen fired at the same time. Arrows fell like a violent rain, and Yang Feng's soldiers and horses were shot down in an instant.  They were staggered and fell down in large pieces.

    Seeing this, Pei Yuanshao quickly pursued the victory and ordered two thousand crossbowmen to fire several rounds of arrows. The arrows almost covered the whole sky and earth. Yang Fengjun suffered numerous casualties. Yang Feng was hit by several arrows and was rescued by several confidants.

    On the other side, Xilong and Gao Shun led their troops to cover up Han Zhao's rebel army and fought all the way until dawn. Seeing that the defeat was certain, Han Zhao led a small team to break out of the encirclement and fled back to Pingyin.

    By now, most of the Baibo bandit army that invaded Hedong had been lost. Han Yu and Yang Feng did not dare to fight anymore, so they abandoned Pingyin and fled to Dangyin, where they joined forces with Guo Da.  When Guo Da heard that Yang Feng and Han Yu were repulsed by Xi Long and Gao Shun, they not only lost the city but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. He was so angry that he wanted to kill them with a knife on the spot.  Fortunately, another Baibo bandit general Li Le and the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo interceded for the two of them, and Guo Dacai angrily bypassed them.

    By that time, the righteous army had already captured Linjin.  Yu Fuluo saw that the rebel army was about to attack Chang'an, so he suggested to Guo Da that he should withdraw his troops for the time being, otherwise when Wen Han led the army back to Hedong, he would be madly killed by the Hedong army.  When Guo Da heard the name Wenhan, his expression changed on the spot. Wenhan was like a nightmare to him.  When he gathered nearly 100,000 people in Baibo Valley, he was still defeated by Wen Han.

    Guo Da made a decisive decision and decided to withdraw his troops and return to Bingzhou. He planned to capture Bingzhou as soon as possible before Wenhan returned to Hedong, and then use absolute force to seize the land east of Hedong.

    Guo Da wanted to evacuate Hedong. When the rich families in Hedong who rebelled against him learned about it, they all panicked and begged Guo Da to change his ways.Change his mind.  However, Guo Da, who was born as a Yellow Turban thief, had no good impression of these wealthy people at all. Not only did he ignore them, he also brutally killed several wealthy clan leaders in the Dangyin area who came to see him.  After getting his property, he led the army to leave Dangyin.

    And when the other heads of the wealthy families in Hedong learned that Guo Dacan had killed the wealthy families in the Dangyin area, they felt extremely regretful.  But the matter has reached this point and they can no longer look back. The most urgent task now is how to save their lives.  They quickly prepared a lot of money and came to find Xilong one after another, begging Xilong to spare their lives.  But Xilong could only sneer at them, and took these wealthy people into custody and took them back to Anyi to wait for Wenhan's return before convicting them.

    "Hmph, these wealthy people really think that I, Wen Bufan, have repeatedly tolerated them because I am afraid of them. They have repeatedly plotted to kill me, and this time they even helped the Bai Bo thieves to seize Hedong. If You Zhicai and Boyi were not here, only  I am afraid that Hedong has fallen into the hands of Bai Bo's thieves.

    Zhicai, what do you think I should do with them?  "

    As soon as Wenhan returned to Hedong, he heard that Hedong was almost taken away. How could he not be angry?  He was sitting in the main seat of the hall, his eyes gleaming with cold light and murderous intent.

    But Xilong suggested very calmly.

    "My lord, these people are from a wealthy family after all. If we kill them, I am afraid that my lord will be resisted by wealthy people from all over the world in the future. In my opinion, it is better to spare their lives, but to kill their minions. For  For wealthy people, their greatest weapons are nothing more than money, land, and private soldiers.¡±

    "My lord can make their crimes known to the world, and then confiscate their property and private soldiers. In this way, even if the wealthy people from all over the world have some words to say about my lord, after all, these people have repeatedly murdered my lord and deserve death. My lord, please forgive me."  Their lives are a great kindness. I wonder if the resistance of the wealthy people in the world is too strong. "

    "I think you have made this decision a long time ago. Otherwise, you wouldn't have stopped attacking them."

    "As a counselor, of course you must seek the greatest interests for your lord."

    "In this case, if I don't follow your words, I will appear to be stubborn."

    Wenhan raised his eyebrows with interest, then pretended to have a dark and dissatisfied look.  Xilong is still as plain as ever, but this plainness gives people a wild and uninhibited feeling.

    "Zhicai believes that the Lord will understand Zhicai's painstaking efforts."

    "You are such a showman, you are becoming more and more unbridled."

    "How can you dare to be ambitious and talented? It's just that my lord has always advocated that the monarch and his ministers should be a family without excessive etiquette. I dare to be unrestrained with talented people.

    "Haha, you turned an army against me. Okay. Let's deal with them according to your suggestion."

    Wenhan chuckled. For some reason, he always relaxed easily when he was with Xilong.  Xilong held up his hands and showed a satisfied smile. He was about to leave to make arrangements, but was stopped by Wenhan.

    "Slow down, this matter is not urgent. Zhicai can deal with it slowly. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the world will change drastically. In this unpredictable and chaotic world, where we, Hedong, are going to go, is the most urgent thing right now.  ¡±

    Xilong¡¯s face darkened and he put away his unruliness. Then he saw that Wenhan¡¯s face was not good and he said slightly solemnly.

    "My lord, you have experienced successive wars this year and were injured by Lu Bu in Chang'an. You need to recuperate both physically and mentally. Are you sure you want to discuss such a big matter at this time?"

    Xilong¡¯s eyes were full of concern, but Wenhan¡¯s right shoulder was still feeling severe pain.  In Chang'an, after repelling Li Ji and other Dong Zhuo's remnants, Wenhan was worried about Guan Yu's injury, so he only asked the imperial doctor in Weiyang Palace to do some simple treatment for himself, and then rushed them all to Guan Yu.  After returning to Hedong, Hua Tuo saw Wen Han's face and right shoulder shaking frequently and knew that he was seriously injured. He intended to check Wen Han's recovery, but Wen Han politely refused and asked Hua Tuo to take care of Guan Yu first.

    Hua Tuo saw that Wen Han had just returned to Hedong and had a lot of things to deal with, so he followed Wen Han's wishes and went to take care of Guan Yu first. However, before going there, he gave Wen Han a lot of instructions, telling Wen Han not to work too hard to avoid worsening of the injury.  .

    Wenhan endured the severe pain from the wound on his right shoulder and pretended to have an untroubled expression on his face.

    "It doesn't matter. If I decide my direction earlier, my heart will be determined earlier. In the current situation, we are like a small boat walking on the huge waves. If we are not careful, we will end up being shattered to pieces at any time."

    "It's like this. Zhicai will definitely relieve the Lord's worries."

    Xilong sighed in his heart, and did not expose Wenhan. After clearing his throat, he recalled in his mind that he had already analyzed the plan and made it.  As a top strategist, he actually began to think about the future direction for Wenhan and even the entire Hedong after learning the news of Dong Zhuo's death.

    "As soon as Dong Zhuo died, all the great heroesThe deer's momentum can no longer be stopped.  Nowadays, princes all over the world are rapidly accumulating power and intending to achieve great causes in the world.  In Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, there are two fierce tigers, Yuan Shao of Hanoi and Gongsun Zan of Peiping, who are eyeing each other. Although Han Fu and Liu Yu have a state, they are no match for them.  Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have attacked Han Fu's Jizhou. After the victory is decided in Jizhou, it will be Liu Yu's turn to conquer Youzhou.  If my guess is correct, the northern land will eventually fall into the hands of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

    And Cao Cao has a good relationship with Liu Dai of Yanzhou. Yanzhou is now invaded by Black Mountain bandits, and Liu Dai's mediocre talent may be difficult to resist.  Cao Cao had many advisers under his command. His uncles and nephews Xun Yu and Xun You were all talented in the world, and Cao Cao also had a heroic character.  Perhaps he has already made a plan.  According to my guess, he would use the pretext of helping Liu Dai to repel the bandits to recruit the Black Mountain bandits along the way. He would first capture Qingzhou, the base camp of the bandits, and then go to Yanzhou to plot.

    At the same time, there are also tigers and wolves in the south such as Yuan Shu in Runan, Sun Jian in Changsha, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou. The south should be divided by the three of them.  As for Yongzhou and Liangzhou in the west, they will be divided in the hands of Lu Bu, Li Cui and others.

But in fact, there is a state and county where the lord has already laid an ambush. Is this the best time to get it?  "
