While Yan Xing was looking at Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan was also secretly observing Yan Xing. There was no doubt that the first impression that Yan Xing, who was burly and tough, gave Cao Yuan the burial first impression that he had seen before was a brave and brave man, just like the border soldiers guarding the border and fighting against Qiang and Hu. However, as the exchange gradually deepened, he began to admire this soldier from Dongying.

If it is just brave and good at fighting, Cao Yuan might say that he would like to praise the other party's bravery, but in addition to being brave, Yan Xing is also quite talkative. The two also talked in a profound way about military use. Although Cao Yuan was not from a powerful family, he was also a good son in the army. He was young and fencing and liked to talk about military affairs. In addition, after joining the army, he lived in the Northern Army and had many contacts with some old soldiers of the Northern Army. He thought his achievements in military affairs had made great progress, but he was from the current situation.

Once Yan Xing in Dong's military camp talked, he quickly felt that the other party was also a soldier with armor. Although his words were simple in some theories of military use, they were concise and easy to understand, and they often hit the nail on the head. At the same time, the other party's demeanor was more like an elite soldier who had experienced many battles. His attainments in military affairs were even better than his own. Cao Yuan listened and admired him very much. For a moment, he forgot to speak politely and praised the other party's bravery and military ability.

As the conversation deepened, Cao Yuan took the time to look back at his two comrades-in-arms. He saw that they had a great time talking with Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others. Zhou Liang, dressed as a scholar, was also taking time to illustrate and talk about a few words. It was not too embarrassing.

So when I looked back, Cao Yuan glanced at Yan Xing, who was extremely dignified, and suddenly remembered the war in Hedong, his hometown, so he began to tentatively ask:

"Yan Jun, I wonder if you are in the army, have you heard of the war in Hedong?"

When Yan Xing thought about the war in Hedong, he thought for a moment and nodded quickly. He had a good relationship with Xu Kun in Xu Rong's army, and he could also hear a lot of current trends from him. The war in Hedong is indeed a major priority after Dong Zhuo's rebellion. After the Southern Xiongnu rebellion, the court was hesitant about whether to fight or appease the Huns. However, Yu Fulu, the right wise king who was unwilling to draw tribesmen and worked for the Han Empire, was killed in his father Shanyu Qiangqu and expelled by the rebellious Xiongnu tribesmen. He had been unable to get Fushun from the Han court, nor the support from the Han court, and helped him regain the position of Shanyu.

With anger and dissatisfaction, Yu Fuluo entered the Central Plains. While hating the Han people's betrayal and abandoning their own family, he also discovered that there was already a war in the Han Empire and had no time to interfere in the affairs of the Southern Xiongnu. So he also began to lead the remaining Xiongnu cavalry under his command, began to raise flags to rebel against the central court, and plunder the prefectures and counties everywhere. Recently, he formed a united force with the Baibo army across Hedong, Henoi, and other places, repeatedly conquering cities and landing, and faintly entrenching Hedong and land.

The Baibo Army was a tyrant bandit that rose up in the Baibo Valley in Hedong. The leader was a powerful man named Guo Da, also known as Guo Tai, nicknamed Guo Daxian, and was similar to Zhang Niujiao, who called himself "general and soldiers". He posed the name of Zhang Jiao's "Great Sages and Good Teachers" by Zhang Jiao. A large number of vagrants, bandits, and Yellow Turban Yubu. They took advantage of the civil turmoil in the court and had no time to conquer, relying on their own familiar geographical advantages, wandered around them in Bing, Ji, Hedong, and other places. The states and counties were unable to take care of themselves and were unable to eliminate them, and they might attack.

The fortress was destroyed, or the heads of Guizhou were plundered, and the horses were gathered, and the salt and iron in Hedong were plundering. The power was getting bigger and bigger. After the convergence of some of the Huns' cavalry, they were even more powerful and aggressive. It was fine when Dong Zhuo led his troops to station in Hedong. Although Baibo and the Huns were rampant, they did not dare to be too arrogant. However, since Dong Zhuo led his troops to leave, Baibo and the Huns had no fear and began to let go of the city and the capital of Luoyang, which was separated by a river, also felt the threat of their confidant troubles.

Yan Xing knew that Dong Zhuo's group was originally the opportunity to take advantage of the strong army and lose both sides to occupy the center of the court by taking advantage of their strong troops. The biggest reliance of this group is the elite soldiers and generals who have experienced many battles. Therefore, if this group wants to expand its political advantages and if Dong Zhuo wants to consolidate the power he has gained, he must use his elite soldiers to fight several exciting victories to consolidate their status and power, or even go further.

To establish the prestige of the new court represented by Dong Zhuo, the opponents selected in this battle are very important. If they are too weak, they will not be able to be selected. For example, the Yellow Turbans of Xingyang destroyed by He Miao and the Yellow Turbans of Runan that Bao Hong attacked were all insignificant local bandits. As soon as the imperial army arrived, they immediately turned into powder, and it was not obvious that the court's strength had been completely renewed after Dong Zhuo took over the power. But it would not be possible to be too strong. For example, Wuhuan in Youzhou, rebels in Liangzhou, and the Xiongnu who frequently violated the border were all tenacious enemies who were deeply rooted and dead but not dead. Not to mention whether Dong Zhuo's current strength could defeat these great enemies, the situation of war being delayed for a long time, the central court, which was on the verge of collapse, would immediately collapse.

Therefore, this represents the first battle of the new court. It is very likely that the Baibo Army, a bandit soldier who ravaged Hedong and the part of the Xiongnu cavalry who were wandering and doing evil. On the one hand, Hedong is only separated from Luoyang, Henan, and if such a confidant problem is not solved, Dong Zhuo will not be stable even if he sleeps on the dragon bed in the palace. Secondly, it is precisely because Hedong is close to Luoyang, sending troops from the capital, and with the elite troops of Liangzhou, the bandits can be suppressed in ten months, and the victory will be won, and the triumphant return to the court, and the authority of Dong Zhuo, who is in charge of power, will be firmly in the position of the first important official in the court.

"The white waves in Hedong are raging, and the Huns are accomplices, which is actually a confidant in Luoyang Kyoto. There are indeed rumors in the army that the Grand Marshal is preparing to send troops to attack and defend Kyoto!"

From Yan Xing, he learned that the dynasty of the dynasty was indeed willing to march into Hedong and slaughter the bandits. Cao Yuan, a native of Hedong, also looked north by the sword. His eyes seemed to have crossed Luoyang City and Beimang Mountain, crossed the surging rivers, and entered the hometown of Hedong. There were Baibo bandits and the enemy chiefs of the Xiongnu were burning, killing and looting. This was a great opportunity for a good man to protect his hometown, guard Kyoto, wipe out the bandits, and make contributions on the battlefield.

He joined the army and joined the Northern Army for several years. He knew that in the early days of his dynasty's strong national strength, the five Northern Army schools were always the sword of the country and the shield of the country. Every time there was a large-scale war on the border, the elite troops of the Five Northern Army schools were recruited to the most intense places. The elite soldiers of the Northern Army who repaired my spear and had a grudge with my son were often able to defeat the enemy and return triumphantly.

Unfortunately, the world has changed now, and the foreign soldiers and horses of Liangzhou have become the main guest and occupied the center of the court. The five Northern Army soldiers, which were originally soldiers of the imperial guards, were instead suppressed by the Qin Hu soldiers of Dongying and the soldiers of Bingzhou. Although they were also comforted by Dong Zhuo, the powerful minister of the dynasty, were stuck between the two frontier troops in the past. It is hard to describe how frustrating and helpless life was.

That's why Cao Yuan pressed the sword and sighed:
Chapter completed!
