Huangfu Song was transferred to defeat the rebels in Liangzhou.

Last year, Liangzhou Xianling Qiang rebelled, and at the end of the year, Yicong in Huangzhong also rebelled. The leaders of Qiang and Hu Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou took over Bian Zhang and Han Sui gathered more than 100,000 people to capture cities and plunder the land. The troops were sharp and difficult to resist.

At the beginning of this year, the rebels from Liangzhou entered Sanfu in the palace, and Chang'an was in a hurry.

His Majesty Ling Emperor was very anxious. The ancestral tomb was about to be dug up, so Huangfu Song had just pacified the Yellow Turbans and had not had enough time to finish it, so he had to fight for two thousand miles and hurried to Chang'an.

The important task of pacifying bandits in Jizhou fell into Liu Xiang's hands. He did not give him the authority to control the army, but only had a commission for the dispatch of troops and an order to support supplies in various counties in Jizhou.

Liu Xiang didn't care about these things. Not long after Zhao'an, how could he gain trust? As long as he could enter Jizhou with legitimate troops.

The little mouse entered the rice jar, do you still care about other things?

It is more convenient to suppress bandits alone.

He was the general of the Han army who led troops to suppress bandits, and he was the nominal commander of the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, it was fun to be the soldiers and bandits.

Zhu Jun's army had already left. Sun Jian and Liu Bei were both his generals, so they naturally followed him. I don't know why Liu Bei became Zhu Jun's subordinate. It is really hard to guess the fate of life.

Cao Cao was quite special. He led his troops independently as the official position of the Cavalry Commander. Although he followed the command of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, he was not considered their subordinates.

Now I have handed over military power and went to serve King Liu Kang of Jinan.

Only the prefect of Julu was left in Jizhou, Guo Dian, who was barely considered a friendly army or obstacle to Liu Xiang.

It depends on Liu Xiang's mood.

On the second day of March, the branches are already green and the weather is pleasant, making it suitable for war.

The Anping army left five thousand men to defend the city, and 23,000 infantry and cavalry went south to Jizhou.

Before leaving, Liu Xiang handed Tian Chou the booklet for the prevention and control of locusts. In the past few days, he has been recalling the records of locust control. Lin Lin summarized several items:

When plowing the ground in spring, pay attention to killing insect eggs and patrolling the wilderness. Whenever you see countless small holes on the ground, they are shaped like beehives. They can be dug out and boiled in water and fire, and kill them all. This is the top priority.

It is encouraged to raise chickens and ducks to kill locusts in the fields.

People are encouraged to catch locusts. Single locusts can be eaten, while clusters of locusts cannot be eaten.

Plant some mung beans and peas in case of accidents.

If a group of locusts is found, the people will be immediately mobilized to hunt, dig trenches during the day, ignite fires at night, and burn and bury them.

If the people are afraid and tell them that as long as they do not eat the locusts, they will be fine, and all the crimes will be borne by General Anping alone, and the Locust God will not punish the people.

As for the issue of protecting the environment and maintaining the ecology, Liu Xiang did not mention it. It is now the Han Dynasty, and this is Youzhou with a vast land and sparse population. The ecology is quite good and there is no need for human protection. Instead, it requires strong men to inspect and be careful of wild animals eating people.

In this year, people need to be protected.

Liu Xiang solemnly handed the book to Tian Chou and instructed: "Please order people to copy more and must send people to the township pavilions to read. Each township pavilion must leave a copy, keep preaching, keep monitoring, and be tireless, so that the people can know."

"only."

No matter how worried you are, you have to send troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the Black Mountain Army has not yet been formed, some of the personnel can be recruited, which can not only strengthen their own power, but also weaken Zhang Yan's strength.

They are too close to Youzhou and are active in the Taihang Mountains. Such a force is not a good thing to fight at home.

It is in Liu Xiang's interests to weaken it.

The army walked for a day and rested in Puyin County. After mixing some food and grass, we continued to move forward. The small Puyin County could not squeeze out any oil and water. His target was the county seat Lunu.

The Anping Army only brought food and grass for half a month. He wanted to raise supplies in Lunu County and check the situation by the way.

The bandits in Jizhou are complex, including bandits entrenched in valleys in the Taihang Mountains, thieves hiding in lakes and rivers, old Yellow Turbans scattered everywhere, and farmers with new uprisings.

Of course the court didn't care. It was their wish to wipe out all of them, but Liu Xiang could not do this.

His goal is to incorporate the Yellow Turbans and those new uprisings. If the bandits can fight, they will fight, and if they can't fight, they will ignore them. If they can't fight, they will not be worth it.

He came to recruit labor and make a living by the way.

"The purpose must be clear, and you cannot waste your energy." Liu Xiang looked at the Jizhou map and muttered quietly.

From Beixincheng, head south, pass by Lunu, Zhending, Xiangping, Handan to Yexian, the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain runs through Jizhou from north to south, and to the west are mountainous areas, valleys, hills and plains from the east.

He was ready to advance south along this dividing line.

After two more days of travel, I arrived near Fengshui on the last day of the Jiji Festival. After passing Fengshui, I walked ten miles to Lunu.

The medical officers of the medical camp wanted to celebrate the New Year's Day here and hold a ceremony to remove the slaughter and bathe, saying that it could cure the disease and make the army healthy.

Besides the bathing side, everyone went to the river to take a bath together. Liu Xiang agreed and took a bath together after crossing the river. It was just noon at this time, and he continued on his way after taking a shower, without delaying his trip.

The first day of Ji in early March is called "Gong Ji", and this day is the Gong Ji Festival. In fact, the Gong Ji Festival should be considered Valentine's Day on the lunar calendar. Most of the time, the meeting between men and women is on this day.

The Quegean Festival is more like Labor Day, which is exclusive to women. I pray that I can work hard in the future. Isn’t it Labor Day?

The Last Ji Festival originated from the witchcraft activity of orchid to ward off evil spirits. Orchids are spiritual objects and have a strong fragrance. The ancients had to bathe and fast before holding a major ritual of sacrifice to the gods. The best way to bathe is "Bathing orchid".

On this day, people will go to the water to bathe together, which is called "生花", which is a ritual to remove evil and dirt.

The Analects of Confucius once recorded: "In late spring, the spring clothes are completed, five or six people have crowned, six or seven boys have bathed in the Yi River, the wind is dancing in the chime, and the song is back." It describes the situation of the swearing at that time.

After that, there were also additional sacrificial banquets, sausages, spring outings in the suburbs, etc.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the festival of the previous Ji Festival was changed to the third day of the third lunar month and has been used until modern times.

The order to bathe across the river spread throughout the army, and the soldiers also wanted to celebrate the festival. Everyone was very happy and the marching speed was significantly accelerated.

When they arrived at the river bank, the scout came to report that a small group of bandits bathed by the river ten miles upstream.

"How many people?"

"Nearly five hundred."

"Taishici."

"The last one will be there."

"Take a thousand-day horse riding over and grab the person." Liu Xiang was a little suspicious. The place was not far from Lu Nu, and the location was a bit sensitive, so he wanted to catch it and ask.

He was originally going south to suppress bandits, but he found the thieves and had no reason to let them go.

Taishici led the army to fight for the first time, and his face was red with excitement. How could training and marching be comparable to fighting?

He is either a murderer, he just wants to make military achievements. He is a humble and brave person, so he naturally wants to make a name for himself and change his family.

I had rejected a conquest before, for fear that Liu Xiang would not be happy, so I had to perform well. The first time I went to the battle was a great opportunity to show my abilities.

Taishici led his troops to move quickly, and took the bandits' place, rushed forward quickly, shot over the people who were guarding the shore, and a thousand cavalry blocked the enemy in the river.

He shot and killed several people who tried to swim to the other side. Under the threat of bows and arrows, more than 400 people were captured. Within half an hour, he drove to Liu Xiang.

Those people were already out of breath.

After interrogation, they were bandits entrenched in Hengshan Mountain. The leader was Sun Qing. At the beginning of the year, officials increased taxes, and many people rose up, and many fled to the mountains.

Seeing the opportunity, Sun Qing took people down the mountain, grabbed 50,000 or 60,000 people, and had already captured Shangquyang and was rushing to Lu Nu.

Liu Xiang smiled. It was really time for him to come. He received gifts with energy saving and was lucky.

He looked at Lu Nu's direction and felt that he should receive two gifts.
Chapter completed!
