Chapter 23: Yunzhong County
Zhang Lang stood in the back garden, staring at the bright moon in the sky in a daze. Yan Yuyao, wearing a pink palace dress, came to Zhang Lang's side, glanced at the bright moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "Husband, you are really leisurely and relaxed.
Here!" Zhang Lang withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan Yuyao, and found that Yan Yuyao looked particularly holy under the moonlight, with a vague appearance of being aloof, but also revealing a mature and charming charm. Two completely opposite temperaments blended together.
Together they made Yan Yuyao particularly charming! Zhang Lang couldn't help but said: "Yuyao, you are so beautiful!" Yan Yuyao was happy in her heart, smiled sweetly, and then showed sadness, "My husband is leaving tomorrow!"
Zhang Lang sighed, hugged Yan Yuyao into his arms, frowned and said, "I will take you over as soon as I get the chance!"
"Yes." Yan Yuyao nodded. She turned around and looked at Zhang Lang with trembling beautiful eyes, showing a charming taste. Zhang Lang couldn't help but lower his head.
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Lang reluctantly bid farewell to Yan Yuyao and led his army to leave Chang'an City. To Zhang Lang's and many people's surprise, tens of thousands of people came to see him off, which was an unprecedented grand occasion.
, and this inevitably aroused suspicion among some people.
Zhang Lang led his army and finally arrived at their destination, Yunzhong County, after more than half a month of march. Feng Zhong, the prefect of Yunzhong County, led a large number of soldiers and civilians out of the city to greet him.
The two sides met with each other, and Zhang Lang led the generals and guards into Yunzhong County City under the guidance of Feng Zhong and others. The army was stationed outside the city.
In the general's palace, the prefect Feng Zhong led all his staff to bow down to Zhang Lang again.
Zhang Lang, who was sitting at the top, smiled and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite! In the future, we can save money on these red tapes!"
"Promise!" Feng Zhong promised with clasped fists.
Zhang Lang said: "I'm new here and I don't know many things yet. Please give me a brief introduction!"
"I wonder what Wen Hou wants to know?"
"Since I have been appointed to manage the military affairs of Bingzhou, of course it is military matters."
"Nuo." After a pause, "Bingzhou Prefecture governs nine counties: Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, Shuofang County, Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Xihe County, Shang County, Taiyuan County, and Shangdang County. Each county has its own
Their respective armies range from 30,000 to 50,000 to 20,000 to 30,000. Among them, Taiyuan County, Shang County, Shangdang County, and Xihe County are the strongest, with more than 50,000 soldiers each. Taiyuan County and Shangdang County are the governors.
They are all disciples of the Yuan family and are old officials, so I am afraid they cannot be used by the general."
Zhang Lang frowned, "Except for these two counties, all the other county guards are the prime minister's people?"
"this……"
"Say it!"
"Nuo. In fact, only the governors of Shangjun and Xihe counties near Chang'an are close confidants of Prime Minister Dong. The other governors are all former ministers of Bingzhou, and most of them are loyal to the Han Dynasty!"
Zhang Lang glanced at Feng Zhong and asked with a smile: "Including you?"
Feng Zhong didn't say anything, so he acquiesced.
Zhang Lang ordered: "Immediately write a letter to the governors of Wuyuan County, Shuofang County, Dingxiang County, and Yanmen County, saying that I invite them to come to Yunzhong County to discuss matters!" "Promise!" Feng Zhong clasped his fists in agreement, and then
He said with some embarrassment: "The other county guards are all easy to talk to, but I'm afraid the Yanmen County Sheriff won't come."
"Oh why?"
Feng Zhong glanced at Zhang Lang strangely, "Did Marquis Wen forget? Wu Tong, the prefect of Yanmen County, is Ding Yuan's confidant!" Zhang Lang understood and said to Feng Zhong: "Whether he comes or not, you just deliver the letter.
!”
"Promise." Feng Zhong clasped his fists in agreement and led his staff to retreat.
Zhang Lang frowned and said, "The situation is worse than I thought!" He asked Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, how many people are there in our army now?" Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said, "Report to the general, our army has more than 31,000 horse infantry troops!
Zhang Lang frowned, "Such a small army is not as good as a larger prefect!" He glanced at the generals and said, "Go down and rest!" The generals clasped their fists in agreement and filed out.
Zhang Lang put everything behind him for the time being, took a comfortable bath, and went to bed.
In the days that followed, while Zhang Lang was recruiting and training troops in Yunzhong County, he also sent many envoys to the counties in Bingzhou to convey orders. However, the situation the envoys brought back made Zhang Lang very unhappy. The people from Taiyuan County and Shangdang County
The county governor was a close confidant of Yuan Shao and did not tolerate him at all. However, the prefects of Xihe County and Shang County were close followers of Dong Zhuo. They openly declared that any order must be approved by the prime minister before it can be implemented. As for the other five counties, it was basically the same.
Only Feng Zhong, the governor of Yunzhong County, followed Zhang Lang's orders to the letter, but it's hard to say what he was thinking! Zhang Lang had no other choice but to wait and see what happened. At this time, he was more
I feel urgently at all times, how great it would be if there was a military advisor by my side!
At the same time, Yuan Shao used his strong strength and the support of the Luoyang clan to gain control of Luoyang. Other princes returned to their hometowns one after another. Yuan Shao was so proud that he wanted to proclaim himself emperor, but all the counselors
Yuan Shao was eager to object, so he had to temporarily suppress his ambition.
Not long after, Yuan Shao sent a secret envoy to Gongsun Zan, proposing a joint attack on Jizhou. After the event was completed, the two families divided Jizhou equally. Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and immediately sent troops. Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, fought against Gongsun Zan for several rounds, but both were defeated. Han
Fu was frightened, and asked Yuan Shao for help at the suggestion of his advisors. In the end, he lured the wolf into the house, and Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity to occupy Jizhou in one fell swoop. Gongsun Zan was indignant because he had defeated his boss but could not get any advantage, so he sent someone to ask Yuan Shao for help.
In the northern part of Jizhou, I never thought that the northern part of Jizhou was not coming, and the secret envoy was beheaded by the enemy. Gongsun Zan was furious, and he and Yuan Shao became enemies from then on.
After Cao Cao returned to Lao Cao, he actively organized his army to prepare for war, and soon occupied the entire Yanzhou.
Sun Jian returned to Changsha safely. The scene in history where Liu Biao intercepted and killed Sun Jian did not happen.
Yuan Shao stood in front of the main hall of the palace, looking at the majestic palace in front of him, and the desire in his heart could not be suppressed. Counselor Tian Feng came to Yuan Shao's side, cupped his fists and worshiped: "Lord." Yuan Shao turned around and looked at Tian
Feng glanced and pointed at the main hall in front of him, "Yuan Hao, what do you think of me working in this main hall?"
Tian Feng was shocked and quickly advised: "No!"
Yuan Shao frowned, "Why not? The strength of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted. I have millions of soldiers, fierce generals like clouds, and advisors like rain. I control the capital, and I have the wholehearted support of the nobles all over the world! Compared with the great ancestor of the time, it was only one pavilion in Surabaya.
I don’t know how many times stronger!”
"My lord, you must be clear! Nowadays, most of the subjects, common people, gentry and gentry in the world still miss the Han Dynasty! My lord is able to be prosperous today thanks to the banner of my lord Naikuanfu Han Dynasty! If this flag is thrown away, I am afraid that many people who were originally loyal to the Han Dynasty will be
The lord's people will become enemies in an instant! The lord must not make any mistakes!"
Yuan Shao was unhappy, but he felt that what Tian Feng said was indeed reasonable and nodded.
Tian Feng clasped his fists and said: "If my lord can clear Yu Nei, then he can claim the title of emperor again. It will be a natural success. No one dares to rebel and no one will rebel!"
