Becoming a father in the film and television industry: starting with Xu Huanshan

Because Xu Wenhao had been managing Bingzhou and other places for several years, although tens of thousands of troops were transferred away, the army was quickly expanded to 10.

Sili also completed the construction of 10 troops. At the same time, Xu Wenhao also arranged for Taishi Ci, who was not assigned at the beginning, to form a navy, which also had as many as 3.

Zhang Liao also had nearly 10 soldiers and horses on the surface, but the reason why it was only on the surface was mainly because Jia Xu used a trick to capture the 5 soldiers and horses under Guo Si and Li Jue, and through various means such as division, he took in 3 Qiang cavalry.

The rest were all unruly people who were deceived by Jia Xu into going to Xiliang to cause chaos. They were finally dealt with by Ma Teng and Han Sui.

After receiving the position of Xiliang Governor, Ma Teng also wrote a letter to thank Xu Wenhao for his recommendation and expressed his loyalty. For this purpose, he also sent Ma Yunlu and Ma Chao over.

The main reason was that Ma Teng was also worried. After all, Xiliang only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and their weapons were not very strong. If Zhang Liao's more than 10 soldiers and horses wanted to take over Xiliang, it would not be a difficult task.

Fortunately, Ma Teng was so sensible, so Xu Wenhao naturally allowed him to guard Xiliang, but he only had to collect horses from Xiliang regularly.

At present, most of the horse-producing territories of the Han Dynasty are in the hands of Xu Wenhao, including Xiliang and Bingzhou. It is really difficult for other princes to fight against him if they do not have cavalry.

What's more, the Xianzhen Camp under his command had been trained by Gao Shun and expanded to as many as 5000 people.

He also had the Tiger Roar Cavalry, which he asked Xu Chu to form in his spare time, and it also had 10,000 cavalry.

The horses of this cavalry team were all trained in the space after he found Red Hare. They have good endurance and can carry heavy armor.

With just these 10,000 cavalrymen, it would be no problem for them to fight against 100,000 infantrymen on the plains.

Luoyang now also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who are used to prevent the aristocratic families from causing chaos in peacetime. In other words, he has nearly 38 soldiers and horses on the surface.

If you count it secretly, the amount could be as high as 45.

Of course, although he said so much, few people believed it, and he just told the outside world about it.

Yuan Shao had an army of more than 10 plus transportation and logistics, which was equivalent to 70 troops. It would not be an exaggeration to report that his actual number of 38 was 100 million.

In the first month of the year, the eighteen princes swore an oath of blood to support the Han Dynasty. They elected Yuan Shao, Marquis of Qixiang and Governor of Bohai, as the leader of the alliance and jointly raised an army to attack Xu Wenhao.

Yuan Shao ordered his brother Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, to be the governor of grain and grass, and ordered Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, to be the vanguard to advance to Sishui Pass. The army soon set off and marched to Luoyang.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't really want to come this time, mainly because he was not sure about Bingzhou and Youzhou. At the same time, his uncle Yuan Wei and the Yuan clan in Beijing were also in Luoyang.

He was elected as the leader of the alliance this time, and he was also worried that Xu Wenhao would use the Yuan family as a sacrifice.

In fact, Xu Wenhao did not have such an intention, but he still wanted to confiscate the property. Anyway, the Yuan family was indeed rich in Luoyang, and he had been eyeing them for a long time.

This is also the reason why Yuan Wei and the Yuan clan members in Beijing have not left yet, because they cannot leave.

All we can say is that the Yuan family is really rich. At the same time, the Luoyang families implicated in this incident were basically ransacked.

If before it was just the loss of land, now it can be said that even the original foundation is gone.

This was also what Xu Wenhao did on purpose. Otherwise, how could they go back and spend money to recruit troops?

These noble families actually have their own bases. Luoyang is nothing more than a place for officials to stay, and their money is all in their hometowns.

Places like the Yuan family in Yizhou and Yangzhou, and Cao Cao in Chenliu, are their most important places.

In fact, the Zhen family was also very rich and should have been the richest businessman in the early Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Xu Wenhao was not short of money at all, so the Zhen family did not show its financial strength.

This is also one of the reasons why both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao wanted to marry into the Zhen family.

Including when the Wu family of Yizhou married Wu Yuan to Liu Bei, they also prepared 2 billion yuan. Mi Zhu gave his own sister Mi Zhen to Liu Bei as a wife, but did not accept a penny of betrothal gifts. Instead, he gave a lot of dowry and 2,000 young and strong men.

This time, Xu Wenhao confiscated the Luoyang noble families and gained hundreds of billions of money, as well as less than 80 shi of grain.

The reason why there was so little food was mainly because Xu Wenhao had forced them to donate it to the disaster victims who came to Luoyang. As for the money, most of it was the value of gold and silver utensils.

After dealing with the affairs in Luoyang, Xu Wenhao asked Gao Shun to guard Luoyang, while he brought Xu Chu to Hulao Pass.

Sishui Pass, also known as Hulao Pass, is one of the eight passes in Luoyang. Naturally, the place where the eighteen princes attacked this time was chosen here.

The main thing is that there is Bingzhou navy on the Henei waterway, and the soldiers of the princes have different swimming abilities. Only Sun Jian in Changsha of the Eastern Wu has a navy. Could it be that Yuan Shao should arrange ships for him to attack head-on?

So naturally, in the end, everyone tacitly chose to march into Luoyang from Hulao Pass. At the same time, Yuan Shao also arranged a troop to march from Yizhou to the vicinity of Julu to contain the army of Bingzhou.

When Xu Wenhao arrived at Hulao Pass, Sun Jian had already brought his men to challenge him.

"Zhongkang, that is Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong. You will be the one to fight the enemy this time."

Xu Wenhao had no intention of taking action himself, but instead signaled Xu Chu to go and fight. After all, Xu Chu's fighting power was similar to Sun Jian, or even higher, so it would not be a problem for him to deal with Sun Jian.

"Okay, then I'll go meet this Jiangdong Tiger."

Xu Chu and Sun Jian are both good with swords, so they can be used for fighting.

"Sun Jian, you are not worthy of my master's help. Let me, Xu Chu, come and meet you."

Xu Chu rushed out of Hulao Pass alone and rushed towards Sun Jian who was challenging him.

Sun Jian did not dare to neglect Xu Chu, mainly because Xu Chu's muscular body showed the potential to be a top military general.

Well, Xu Chu’s body shape is similar to Dong Zhuo. In ancient times, having a strong body was a good thing, otherwise you wouldn’t even be able to wield a weapon.

"General, this Sun Wentai is quite powerful."

Xu Huang was aware of his own abilities. He had ignored Sun Jian's challenge all day long. Now, seeing Xu Chu fighting with him, he looked at him with admiration.

"After all, we are all from ordinary backgrounds, so we can only risk our lives."

"They say there are eighteen princes, but how many of them really dare to come?"

Xu Wenhao watched the fight between the two, but his mind was on the eighteen princes who were still arguing in the distance.

Xu Huang's main reason was that he had confidence in Xu Wenhao. In addition, Hulao Pass was heavily guarded, and he was no pushover, so naturally he didn't think much of the Eighteen Princes.

Turning our attention back to Xu Chu and Sun Jian, after fighting for hundreds of rounds, both men realized they could not defeat the other, so they both retreated.

"Sun Wentai, don't be so foolish as to work for these noble families. They might even attack and kill you on the way back."

Xu Wenhao also waved his hand and reminded Sun Jian.

Sun Jian was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much, mainly because he thought it was impossible.

After all, at that time it was an alliance of eighteen princes, how could they possibly attack and kill a mere governor of Changsha.

In fact, after the anti-Dong Jing alliance was dissolved, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Liu Biao asking him to kill Sun Jian. So Liu Biao intercepted Sun Jian halfway and fought with him for a while.

Not long after, at the request of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian crossed the river to attack Liu Biao. This time, Sun Jian was ambushed by Huang Zu, a general under Liu Biao, and died from an arrow.

You said that Sun Jian had violated some heavenly law that made these noble families want to kill him. It's nothing more than that he is a grassroots person, no one looks up to him, and he wants to be in the limelight. If you don't die, who will die?

The real purpose of the eighteen princes attacking Luoyang was to attack Emperor Xian of Han. They just wanted to show off their family status.
