Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye it was the autumn of 188 AD. In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhang had stayed in Hanzhong for nearly three years!
In three years, Liu Zhang had completely controlled Hanzhong County. Compared with the stability of Hanzhong County, there was no peace in the entire Han Dynasty!
In Liangzhou, first Han Sui defeated the kingdom and annexed the four counties of Liangzhou. Later, Ma Teng rose up in Wuwei and successively captured Xiping, Zhangye, and Jiuquan. I thought Ma Teng and Han Sui could fight against each other, but I didn't expect the two major rebels in Liangzhou.
The soldiers actually joined hands and agreed to advance and retreat together. However, two years later, there was still no movement from Ma Teng and Han Sui, as if there had never been a rebellion in Liangzhou!
Youzhou was not so lucky. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled one after another, and Zhang Ju even claimed to be the emperor! He joined forces with Wuwan to poison the land of Hebei, making the people miserable! Fortunately, the governor of Youzhou, Liu Yu, was wide on the outside and tight on the inside.
With the right method and Liu Yuguang's favors, he won the hearts of the foreigners and put an end to Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion.
If the most serious incident occurred during this period, it was Wang Fen's attempt to imitate Yiyin Huoguang and abolish the establishment!
Wang Fen was listed as one of the Eight Chefs in his early years. He was a famous person who could help the world with his family wealth. He also experienced the Dou Wu Rebellion and several party bans.
Wang Fenzhu tried to win over many people, including Cao Cao, Hua Xin, Tao Qiuhong, etc., but they were all severely rejected. As expected, Wang Fen was so frightened that the matter was exposed, and finally ended up committing suicide.
This turmoil also affected the Yuan family. As an old official of the Yuan family, everything Wang Fen did was naturally inseparable from the Yuan family. Although Yuan Wei was not demoted because of this, it also made Liu Hong have feelings for the Yuan family.
Even greater dissatisfaction!
As for how to crush this turmoil, it was naturally Liu Zhang's work.
Liu Zhang was in Hanzhong, but he did not forget the major events that would happen in the era.
But it is also strange that Liu Zhang made such a great contribution, but in the end he did not receive any reward, not even a word of commendation!
Under Liu Zhang's governance, Hanzhong County has undergone earth-shaking changes in three years. The biggest change is the population! The population has suddenly increased from less than 300,000 to more than 405,000!
Of course, these people did not come out of thin air. Some of them fled from Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places. Some of the people in these three places could not bear the cruelty, some could not stand the exploitation, and some were worried about their wealth and lives.
Liu Zhang had a long-standing reputation, so he naturally became their primary target of defection. Especially in the past year, refugees have been flocking here! Liu Zhang did not stop him, and all the people accepted the orders!
In fact, they are the people of Wudu County who migrated. Yes, Wudu County is now an empty city, and Liu Zhang has moved all the people of Wudu County to Hanzhong.
Wudu County was a must-pass between Liangzhou and Hanzhong. Liu Zhang did not want to spread his troops too thin, and he did not have the right to garrison Wudu County, so he could only move all the people to Hanzhong.
However, Liangzhou's reaction made Liu Zhang very puzzled. Han Sui seemed to have no intention of getting involved in Wudu County. In the past two years, he had been staying in Jincheng County without any action.
With more and more anomalies and the increasingly skewed wheel of history, Liu Zhang has become accustomed to it! Even if Liangzhou is abnormal, Liu Zhang does not have much doubts. Yangping Pass has been turned into an iron barrel by him
, even if Han Sui raised an overwhelming army, it would be difficult to cross this natural chasm. No matter what situation he faced, Liu Zhang could easily adapt to changes by remaining unchanged!
Liu Zhang still has 30,000 troops under his command, including infantry, cavalry, archers and other arms. Even the county soldiers stationed at Yangping Pass led by Yang Lin have become increasingly elite due to years of training.
As for the soldiers and horses under the command of General Liu Zhang, they are definitely rare elite soldiers in the world! With just one opportunity, they can show their minions to the world!
However, the peaceful days were finally broken. Luoyang's imperial edict had arrived in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang was mentioned first and foremost.
"Your Majesty Liu Zhang accepts the order!"
Liu Zhang led his men to kneel on the ground, welcoming Liu Hong's order.
"General Hou has been stationed in Hanzhong County for several years, intimidating the rebels in Liangzhou from rash actions. I am very pleased with the hard work and great achievements! Now I am ordering General Hou, Liu Zhang, the prefect of Hanzhong, to come to Beijing with his troops and horses. The general will arrange matters in Hanzhong on his own. I hereby express my gratitude!"
Liu Zhang kowtowed to the imperial edict again, and then took the edict with both hands.
"Your Majesty Liu Zhang, please accept the order and thank me!"
The young eunuch quickly stepped forward, helped Liu Zhang up, and looked at him very flatteringly.
"General Hou, Your Majesty said that he misses General Hou very much and asks General Hou not to delay!"
Liu Zhang nodded, reached into his arms, took out some reward money and gave it to the eunuch.
"Thank you, General!"
Eunuchs are all in the same boat, they are so excited when they see money! They are overjoyed immediately.
"Little father-in-law, let me ask you something."
"General, please tell me. I will tell you everything you know!"
The eunuch didn't even look at Liu Zhang, he was only thinking about the money in his hands.
"Did anything big happen in Luoyang when you came out?"
"event?"
The young eunuch frowned, not understanding what Liu Zhang meant.
"Does His Majesty have any new orders?"
"Oh! This is what the general said, yes! His Majesty ordered the establishment of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, and he personally served as the supreme general! Among them, the captain of the upper military academy is Jian Shuo! The captain of the middle military academy..."
Still formed the Xiyuan Army!
Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, then sent the eunuch away and immediately summoned all his subordinates.
"Everyone, His Majesty has a decree, ordering me to lead his troops to Beijing, and requires that we set off immediately."
There was a lot of discussion below instantly, and the county magistrate Yan Shan was the first to ask questions.
"My lord, it stands to reason that foreign ministers are not allowed to represent us when they come to Beijing, right? Your Majesty actually asked me to represent you by name. Could it be that something happened in Luoyang?"
Liu Zhang shook his head and chuckled,
"There are no accidents, and His Majesty established the Eighth School of Xiyuan this month and personally appointed the supreme general. However, His Majesty was busy and had no time to manage these sergeants, so he appointed an upper military academy lieutenant, a middle military academy lieutenant, and a lower military academy captain. Wei. Guess who they are?"
Who? How can you guess this?
Everyone below looked confused and didn't understand Liu Zhang's intention.
"My Lord, what you mean is which forces dominate the Xiyuan Army, right?"
Liu Zhang nodded to Xun You, as expected it must be these wise men.
"Yes, you can tell a lot about Luoyang today just by looking at the captains appointed by His Majesty."
Xun You thought for a while and gave Liu Zhang his own order.
"I guess they should still be eunuchs, relatives and Yuan family, right? They are respectively appointed as upper, middle and lower military academy lieutenants."
"That's right, but the order of the relatives and the family members is wrong! The senior military commander Jian Shuo, the middle military commander Yuan Shao, and the lower military commander Bao Ya!"
