Chapter 23 First Battle ([-])
"My king once heard that one of his soldiers said that he had a fellow countryman whose surname was Xu and whose name was Huang since Gongming Dynasty. He was like Zhou Yafu, so I made a special detour to the east of the river to meet this Zhou Yafu."
"I don't dare to humble my position! I don't deserve such praise from the prince for my humble position!"
Although Xu Huang thinks he has some pride, Xu Huang is not so proud yet. If word spread today, Xu Huang's worth will rise sharply, but the pressure will also increase.
"It doesn't matter whether you deserve it or not, and it doesn't matter if you say it now, but I will give you a chance to prove it now. I will take the post of Zhenbei General first. The army has not yet been formed, and there are currently only two thousand feather forest guards. Are you willing to join my king's command, temporarily lead the camp, and follow the army north to kill Hu?"
Liu Han looked at Xu Huang and finished speaking with a serious face.
Although Xu Huang was moved, his face was tangled, as if he had not made up his mind.
Liu Han noticed it, and after waiting for a while, he said, "That's all. If you don't want to, I won't force you to do anything."
"Your Majesty, it's not that Huang doesn't want to, but it's that his mother is still with him at home. If Huang goes north with the army, there will be no one to take care of his mother at home. Huang really can't bear to leave."
It can be said that Xu Huang suddenly faced the biggest decision in his life. If he went north with the army and established military exploits in the future, it could be said that his future was bright, and he could be awarded a title or a general. But what should he do with his mother who had worked hard to raise him for 20 years? "He is still a filial son. Did County Magistrate Yin hear this?"
"I will do my best to support my old lady."
"A sensible one."
Then, Liu Han looked at Xu Huang, who no longer hesitated and bowed his head, "Xu Huang, meet my lord!"
"Please get up quickly, Mr. Ming. There is no need for these false gifts. We will rest here today and continue our journey north tomorrow."
"Here!"
# Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Hejian Kingdom, Zhongshui County.
Jushou, who was working in the county government office, suddenly heard that the angel was coming, so he went out to greet him. The angel took out the imperial edict, and the Marquis of Zhongshui County was granted the title of Prince of Hejian County. Liu Bei, the former King of Hejian, was demoted to the title of Marquis of Chongde.
But Ju Shou, who was sitting at home, was overjoyed to come from heaven, he had been promoted! Prime Minister of Hejian County!
But considering that the king of Hejian County was still underage, Jushou moved to the left to be the prefect of Hejian County with a rank of two thousand stones!
The Hejian State Administration was successfully established, covering 11 counties, with about 94000 households and a population of about 63.
At this time, Ju Shuoren was not yet 30 years old, but he had already become the chief official of one party. This was the benefit of following the right person! The future is bright! I remember Zhang He returned to Zhongshui at the beginning of the year and secretly brought back two people, which almost scared Ju Shou to death! Queen Song!
Princess Wannian!
Although they are dead in name, who dares to treat them as ordinary people?
Fortunately, since these two came to Zhongshui, they usually stayed at the gate of the Hou Mansion. Only the young lady occasionally went out accompanied by Liu Yi.
The water in Luoyang is very deep, but luckily I didn’t go there.
In addition, the angel also brought back a handwritten letter from Liu Han.
On the one hand, they informed Ju Suo of his purpose of going north, and on the other hand, he hoped that Ju Suo could stick to Hejian and develop the other ten counties in Hejian into the same situation as Zhongshui County.
There are two purposes for going first is to control the army and control the foreigners; the second is to control the border and have a horse farm of his own.
War horses, a strategic resource, must be controlled in one's own hands.
After reading the letter, Jushu burned it and buried it in the soil himself. The prince had a big plan. If he fully implemented his plan, he would be suppressed by the nobles, eunuchs and even the imperial power, and he would be shattered to pieces if he was not careful. "Hejian."
Although Hejian has long been in the pocket, it is still a bit difficult to implement it now with Zhongshui County alone.
It's okay for the Zhang family in Mo County. After all, Zhang He has surrendered to the lord, so it depends on how it is discussed.
The Liu family is even better to say. No matter how big the Hejian Liu family is now, they can't be bigger than their own.
The remaining Xing clan, Shu clan, Dongxiang clan, and other branches of the gentry clan in Mo County will depend on whether they have any flaws.
First take control of the military, then organize the government, eliminate bandits, eradicate the gentry, and finally kill the gentry.
This is Liu Han's five-step strategy to gain and conquer one area.
Jushou thought while writing and drawing on the silk. The master's current foundation is too poor, with insufficient civil servants and insufficient generals.
Huang Zhong's son Huang Xuke is the captain. Although he is relatively weak, he is upright and can manage the army well. The two thousand soldiers in Zhongshui County are now under Huang Xu's jurisdiction.
Guoyuan can be the county magistrate. Among the disciples of the great scholar Zheng Xuan, only Guoyuan is the most stable. In fact, Cui Yan of Qinghe is also good, but I don't know why the lord doesn't like it. Sun Qian has already managed business, otherwise he would be a long history.
Although the others were disciples of Confucianism, they did not worship Liu Han as their master, so they would not be able to serve. Otherwise Cui Yan of Qinghe, Ren Gu of Le'an, Xi Lu of Shanyang, Liu De of Beihai, Tian Qiong, Song Jun, and Runan Cheng Bing, there are opportunities.
For other positions, it depends on whether they are knowledgeable or not.
With a plan in mind, I started to make preparations.
"Come here, please invite Huang Xu and Guoyuan to discuss matters."
# Guanghe three years (AD 180).
After nearly a month of marching, Liu Han and his party finally arrived at Yanmen County. The two sides met at the Yin Pavilion of the county guard, but Tian Feng and his party arrived a few days earlier.
The five counties of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dingxiang in the northern part of Bingzhou have a scarce population due to perennial wars.
Yanmen County covers 14 counties, with its administrative center and population of 25; Yunzhong County covers 11 counties, and its administrative seat is Yunzhong, with a population of Wuyuan County covers 9 counties, is governed by Jiuyuan, and has a population of Dingxiang County leads 5 counties, and the governance is Shuofang County governs 6 counties and is governed by Linrong, with a population of only .
The combined population of the five counties is only 32, but the border between the five counties and Xianbei is [-] miles long.
This time Xianbei invaded the country, the main force was in Youzhou, and there were not that many people in Bingzhou.
"My lord, I have come to report that there is a group of Xianbei cavalry coming from Youzhou. There are about a thousand people. It is estimated that they will cross the Great Wall and reach the Pingcheng area in three days."
Liu Han didn't wait for a break, "Map."
Immediately, Zhang He took out the map. The map of the Han Dynasty was very simple. After studying with Duan Jue for half a year, Liu Han had already learned to read the map.
"It's almost three hundred miles from Yin Guan to Pingcheng. When the Xianbei cavalry goes south to the Great Wall, they must pass through the official road. Yuan Hao, look, if I remember correctly, there is a mountain on the left side of Pingcheng called Leigong Mountain. If we arrive in advance, If he is not prepared, he suddenly kills him from the mountain, and he will surely be defeated in one blow."
"My lord, this plan is very clever, but Feng feels that the first battle must not only be impressive, but also annihilate them all. My lord, look here. This place is called Evil Langgou. It got its name because of the presence of evil wolves at night. The Xianbei cavalry was suddenly attacked and wanted to evacuate to the north. We might as well ambush an army here and then go to Evil Langgou. There are strong crossbows ambushed on both sides, waiting to drive the Xianbei cavalry here and flank them on both sides. "
Tian Feng deserves to be the number one counselor in Hebei, and he made sufficient preparations on the way to Bingzhou.
"Okay, then let's try to annihilate these thousands of invading enemies in the first battle!"
