Chapter 283: The Four Phases of Kaiyuan

Beidi County is a large town with 70,000 troops stationed by the Beidi Alliance.

However, Li Qian led his troops to attack at night and captured the city gate in one fell swoop.

"The scholar's black armored army has entered the city, run away! It will be too late if you don't run now!"

The 70,000 defenders quickly collapsed, fled in all directions, and were so disorganized that they could not even hold out for a day.

"Surrender and you won't be killed!"

"Surrender and you won't be killed!"

Xie Ai, Beigong Chun, Ma Yue and Cheng Yi led 9000 Liangzhou cavalry to besiege some of the Beidi League rebels, and groups of rebels surrendered to Li Qian.

The Northern Alliance rose too quickly, and most Liangzhou players chose to rely on the Northern Alliance because they saw how powerful it was.

Now, Huangfu Song, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo and other Han troops have invaded Beidi County. Except for the direct troops of the Beidi Alliance, other members have no fighting spirit.

Li Qian led his troops to plunder the armory and granary, and obtained property worth tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Not only that, Li Qian surrendered more than 10,000 rebels in this battle, adding more than 10,000 soldiers.

"The Northern Alliance is no longer a force to be reckoned with."

Li Qian easily captured this large town which was guarded by 70,000 soldiers of the Northern Alliance. He knew that the morale of the Northern Alliance was low and they had lost the chance to march into Guanzhong and seize the world.

Unfortunately, this large town was located in Liangzhou, and Li Qian was unable to annex it into his own territory, so he looted gold, silver and treasures and continued his advance.

"Those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish! The Northern Alliance is doomed, you can still survive if you surrender to Emperor Yuan!"

On the plain, Emperor Yuan led the cavalry and surrounded a group of troops from the Northern Alliance.

The leader of the Northern Alliance players was stabbed to death by the white-robed general Shi Jingsi in less than ten rounds, and the remaining Northern Alliance soldiers surrendered to Emperor Yuan one after another.

"The Northern Alliance is about to run out of luck. Unfortunately, my military exploits are still not as good as the scholar's, so I can only be ranked second... Wait, the outcome is unknown."

Emperor Yuan tried his best to recruit the surrendered soldiers from the Northern Alliance and gain benefits from the rebellion in Liang Province.

In Fuping City, the capital of Beidi County, members of the Beidi Alliance were in a panic.

Rebel leaders such as Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and Wang Guo were killed. Various Han troops entered Beidi County. The Beidi Alliance was defeated and the situation was precarious.

"Alliance leader, why don't we gather all our elite forces and fight them!"

"We in the Northern Alliance still have a million soldiers and horses, so we still have a chance of winning!"

"That's right, it's better to fight to the death than to sit and wait for death!"

Seeing the low morale of the Northern Alliance's war faction, they advocated a decisive battle.

The King of Loyalty and Martial Arts looked at everyone, then turned to look at the calm military advisor beside him and said, "Everyone, please be patient. The military advisor should have another solution. Please speak."

The Northern Alliance Army Division slowly spoke: "The imperial court has a strong military force and is full of momentum. Fighting at this time is like hitting a rock with an egg. The only way now is to surrender temporarily and make a move when the time is right. Now, please send someone to Luoyang to bribe the Ten Changdai with a large sum of money, so that the imperial court will take the initiative to surrender us. In this way, we can avoid the disaster."

"Wonderful."

The eyes of a group of members of the Northern Land Alliance lit up. If the Northern Land Alliance surrendered voluntarily, the players from other states and counties would definitely divide up their territory and troops.

However, if Emperor Ling of Han took the initiative to surrender and granted the Beidi Alliance an official position, then the Beidi Alliance would be able to finally occupy Beidi County legitimately, become a local vassal, and avoid being attacked by the Han army. All they had to pay was nominal submission and gold and silver treasures to bribe the Ten Eunuchs.

King Zhongwu nodded. He was worthy of recruiting a first-class strategist. At the critical moment of life and death of the Northern Alliance, he was able to find a way out for the Northern Alliance.

However, the King of Loyalty and Martial Arts still had some concerns: "The Han army is advancing rapidly. It is probably too late to send people to Luoyang to bribe the Ten Attendants now."

The military advisor smiled and said, "Dong Zhuo has great ambitions and has sent people to contact his subordinates secretly, intending to subjugate our Northern Alliance to work for him. It would be better for you to temporarily follow Dong Zhuo and stay out of the spotlight."

"Submitting yourself to Dong Zhuo is indeed a good choice. Military Advisor, please ask Dong Zhuo's envoy to come up to see me."

Soon, a counselor was brought in and bowed to the King of Loyalty and Martial Arts: "I am Li Su, and I have come on the orders of Lord Dong to show you a clear way forward..." The Han troops marched to Beidi County and surrounded Fuping City.

Huangfu Song immediately ordered people to build siege equipment and prepare for the siege.

However, when Dong Zhuo was about to attack the city, he claimed to be ill and delayed the siege.

Dong Zhuo had a million Han troops and Qiang soldiers under his command. If he kept his troops in place and only the other Han troops attacked the city, the other Han troops would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Huangfu Song decided to wait for a few days until Dong Zhuo recovered from his illness before attacking the city.

"It's strange that Dong Zhuo is sick at this time. Zishou, what do you think?"

Li Qian looked at the minister he had just recruited.

A young scholar replied: "Dong Zhuo's illness is probably a self-inflicted tragedy. Dong Zhuo may have wanted to conserve his military strength and did not want to waste the troops from Xiliang during the siege. There is another possibility..."

"Zi Shou, please speak."

The scholar recruited by Li Qian was Zhang Jiuling, whose courtesy name was Zishou.

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

Zhang Jiuling was not only a poet, but also a minister of the Tang Dynasty and one of the four wise ministers during the Kaiyuan Period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The Four Prime Ministers of the Kaiyuan Period, namely Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiuling, assisted Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in creating the "Kaiyuan Prosperity".

Zhang Jiuling was upright and incorruptible. When someone recommended a talent to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the emperor asked whether the person's demeanor was the same as Zhang Jiuling's.

Zhang Jiuling also saw through An Lushan's evil ambitions and requested Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to behead An Lushan.

……

Zhang Jiuling said slowly: "In addition to preserving strength, Dong Zhuo's move may be related to the Northern Alliance."

"You mean Dong Zhuo is colluding with the Northern Alliance?"

Li Qian understood what Zhang Jiuling meant and suddenly realized it.

If Dong Zhuo colluded with the Northern Alliance, his power would become extremely terrifying.

The Northern Alliance has many powerful generals, which can just make up for the lack of powerful generals for Dong Zhuo.
