Chapter 184: Before the battle

"It's not raining in the sky yet, and the mulberry soil is clearing, so I can prepare for the house." [Poetry·Binfeng·Owl]

Winter of the twelfth year of Jian'an.

Zhou Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War and the Marquis of Anping Pavilion, was ordered to patrol the north of You. He joined the armies of various states and crossed the Great Wall to meet with the Xianbei tribes to declare their majesty and show disaster and blessings. All the tribes, large and small, were led by Bu Dugen, Ke Bineng and other adults.

Many envoys were sent to visit him. During the inspection, Zhou Yu also did not forget to submit a memorial to the emperor. He described what he saw and heard on his northward journey, as well as the crossing of Liao Dynasty, the reinforcement of the army, the strength of the troops, etc., and attached the following:

own opinions on how to deal with it.

When the emperor saw Zhou Yu's memorial, although there was no clear praise or criticism, he only saw that when Sun Ce was mentioned, not only did he bring along his subordinates Chen Wu, Zhu Zhi and others, but even Shuofang Commandery Lieutenant Chen Dao and Cavalry Commander Cao Ang commented on it.

, and when it was the turn of Huwei General Gaishun, who was also stationed in Bingzhou, he only mentioned a few words about Liang Xing, Wang Chang and others under his command. It was naturally easy to distinguish which ones were more important. The emperor knew Zhou Yu's thoughts, but he did not say anything.

He just sent the memorial to Cao Cao and others, saying: "Zhou Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Huang Quan, the right general in charge, patrolled the northern border separately. They believed that the frontier fortresses and pavilions were solid and the army was untiringly prepared. Now that the two memorials have been submitted, please take a look.

Bar."

Zhao Wen, Yang Biao, Cao Cao and Xun Yu all read it.

Sikong Zhao Wen looked around and said: "Generals of chariots and cavalry are the most familiar with military matters, so it is best to talk about them first."

Seeing his refusal, Situ Yang Biao remained silent and acquiesced.

Cao Cao did his duty and commented one by one: "The troops of General Duan Xuan of Liangzhou Anxi have just conquered the Qiang rebels. Their troops and horses are strong, their morale is high, and their military camps and other places are also quite organized..." He read it calmly.

Xia Houyuan's deeds when he was stationed in Liangzhou were described without any emotion: "The armies in Bingzhou and Youzhou are well-equipped. In recent years, there has been peace both inside and outside, and the officers and men have worked harder. However, General Huwei and other troops in Bingzhou have been a little slack.

It should be due to the long years of no war, and there are still many damaged armor in the Taiyuan arsenal. I think that I can order Huwei General Gaishun and Taiyuan Prefect Luo Jun to complete all the deficiencies before May next year.

, there must be no mistake, and it will be supervised by Zhuge Xuan, the governor of Bingzhou."

"Your Majesty has previously given instructions on the strategy to prepare for the expedition against the three counties of Wuhuan and Goguryeo next year. It is necessary to mobilize the southern army. Huang Zhong, the governor of Henan, the governor of Yujinsuo and the general Zhang Liao of Youzhou, a total of more than 60,000 people, a large army.

The collection is enough to drive it, so there is no need to use Bingzhou's troops and horses." Xun Yu said in a low voice: "Therefore, the reorganization of Bingzhou's army can be postponed for the time being. It is better to wait until the Wuhuan is conquered before making a decision."

"I think this statement is reasonable." Cao Cao nodded in agreement and said: "The war is coming, and food, grass, ordnance, etc. must be prepared in advance. Everything is so complicated that the imperial court really has no time to take care of Bingzhou. It can be done by Gaishun, Luo Jun and others."

Zhao Wen had a different opinion: "After Gaishun was a famous official, he was promoted by His Majesty and received great favor. There was nothing happening in Yanmen and other counties where he was stationed, but there were many soldiers in Shuofang and other counties where Sun Ce was stationed.

Naturally, the military armament will focus on Xihe and Shuofang. I thought that the imperial edict was not necessary, so I ordered them to reorganize themselves, move their troops to Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Xianbei on the ground, and morale may be boosted."

One intentionally promoted Sun Ce in a disguised manner, intending to win over the Jianghuai forces, and the other intentionally supported Gaishun and took care of the old generals who had started their careers as emperors. Cao Cao and Zhao Wen started to argue over this.

The emperor didn't want to hear any more. He leaned on the bench, raised his hand, stopped the dispute, and looked at the silent Yang Biao: "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

"Gai Shun is the commander-in-chief. Zhou Yu said that he was not strict in running the army. There is evidence from Bingzhou Governor and other officials. It should be true. I think it is appropriate to issue an edict." After Yang Biao was named, he said slowly and calmly:

"However, the matter of moving to Yunzhong is inevitable. I think that when we move to Yunzhong, we should pay attention to rectification and prevent Xianbei, so that we can kill two birds with one stone."

The emperor nodded and said: "Sun Ce moved from Xihe to Shuofang a long time ago. After regaining Yunzhong, he guarded the pass. The land is close to Mobei. We really want Gaishun to move there. If you forget the battle, you will be in danger. You can't stay comfortable in the rear for too long.

So I became slack."

Then, he asked: "Youbing's army is generally in good condition. Are the reserves in Hebei's warehouses still sufficient?"

In the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu He, who was still the chief agricultural officer, and his subordinates Taicang Ling and others planned to build a reserve system of grain, grass and other materials, and established 'Taicang' in various places according to the four levels of A, B, C and D. At that time, for the main functions of Taicang,

There were many disputes between Taicang Ling Guoyuan and Mi Zhu, who were both in power at the time. The former believed that Taicang could only be used for these basic functions of relief, while the latter extended it to commercial trade and used Taicang's huge material reserves to participate in the market.

.

The dispute finally ended with Liu He being sent to Wu County and Mi Zhu taking over as the chief agricultural officer. The entire Taicang reserve system was also implemented in accordance with Mi Zhu's plan. Mi Zhu was very business-savvy. Under his plan, Taicang

'Reserves food and other materials in normal times, participates in market trade, and controls prices; in special periods, it is used to relieve victims and supply military operations, becoming an important tool for the court to regulate the market and maintain civil stability.

Six years later, this reserve system totaling more than 50 million stones has begun to take shape. When it is completely perfected, the new will be introduced and the old will be put out, the total amount of storage will basically remain unchanged, and the in and out circulation will be repeated, and the court will not have to worry about logistics and relief issues.

Xun Yu, who was in charge of the general affairs of the imperial court, immediately replied: "According to the reports from Da Sinong, the Secretary of the Du branch, and the governors of Jizhou and Youzhou, in recent years, Hebei and other places have had good harvests, and the country is peaceful, and its Bohai Cang, Guangyang Cang, and Julu Cang have gradually

It is sufficient to fully support the needs of the war, and there is no need to collect food and grass from the people."

"Well, that's good." The emperor nodded with satisfaction. The public situation was reported by various places, and the private situation was reported by Xiu Yi. What he knew was basically true data: "Mi Zhu's preparations to build Taicang have made great contributions to the state.

, made the capital Tinghou."

Seeing Xun Yu's answer, the emperor's heart moved, and he continued: "Lu Qian, the governor of Taishan, has made great achievements in attacking Zang Ba, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei. The day before yesterday, I received a report from him, and the rebel Zang Ba and others were awarded the title. Liu Miao, the king of Langxie, applied for it.

The unjust complaint was settled, and an edict was issued to Langxie Prime Minister Zhao Gai. From now on, he must stabilize the county and assist Liu Miao in observing the vassal etiquette."

At this point, the huge stone in the hearts of Cao Cao and others was finally settled. The emperor personally sealed the coffin and put all the responsibilities on Zang Ba's head. Without going back further, it can be regarded as an explanation for both parties.

"I'm at your service." Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others immediately followed the order.

"Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Dongjun, is familiar with military affairs. Let's transfer him to Dianzhou to serve as a general in the army. There are many young Han people in Dianzhou, so he summoned more Han people to choose places for military garrison in Dianzhou and actively assist the governor Wang Shang." The emperor added.

After giving him a date, he revealed the truth and began to discuss with everyone the request of Xianbei Lord Kebineng and Suli to send troops to join the crusade against Wuhuan in the three counties. To provide you with the fastest update of Xinghan Dynasty, the 100th
