As the weather gradually became warmer, the victories from Liaodong arrived one after another. The barren and pale Youzhou were breathing a little more. In other words, there was a little more blood, and it looked a little bit more.
Especially in Ji County, it has become lively recently.
What is lively is not the people here, but the gathering of troops.
Once the number of soldiers exceeds a thousand, it will be very large, and now the number of people near Jixian is close to ten thousand. This is a great test for the commander-in-chief. It is different from the huge territory in the northern desert.
It is like living in a 100 square meters of earthen house, and living in a 100 square feet of mansion are two completely different concepts. A small space tests the ability to coordinate and coordinate, and is fully
Using all resources and space has become Zhao Yun’s most complicated matter at the moment.
Moreover, Youzhou is barren and the people are suffering. Originally, the area around Jixian in Yuyang was quite rich. After all, there is salt and iron. However, during Cao Chun's management, most of his energy was focused on military affairs and did not pay enough attention to people's livelihood and political affairs. These people's livelihoods
If the equipment does not move forward, it will retreat. Now some areas still need to be repaired before they can be used.
In addition, there are many Hu people in the Northern Region Army, which are both good and bad, so the management of the army and other things needs to be stricter than usual.
These things are summarized to Zhao Yun every day, from early morning to evening, almost all the staff are constantly flowing.
Of course, Zhao Yun doesn’t need to be so careful about eating, and military academy non-commissioned officers can handle it, but Zhao Yun nods or allocates some things.
There are only so many materials in total. Which county’s people and which battalion’s soldiers need to be allocated, it is all about measuring what each unit does every day or at each stage, whoever listens to whom the orders, and who the logistics will look for.
Wherever you live, it has become a constant turmoil.
Fortunately, the cavalry trained grassroots military academy non-commissioned officers a long time ago, and also promoted education in the army to gradually eliminate illiteracy. Otherwise, it would be even more chaotic. However, learning is not as good as having fun, so even if it is
We promote education and promote learning, but there are still some people who think it’s enough to eat and drink. It’s hard to learn that thing and it’s not fun at all. So after a few years, we still don’t know anything.
This is also a very normal thing, but as the highest commander of Youzhou at this moment, Zhao Yun worked very hard.
And there are troubles in the Northern Region...
Zhang He came in dust and arrived in Jixian.
After Zhang He defeated Juyong, he served as a transit station for the valley, Taihang and Taiyuan, and coordinated the coordination of local troops. When Ganfeng did not win the Liaodong victory, he solved the urgent need for Youzhou during the snow disaster, although nothing
He made great achievements in military affairs, but he also made considerable contributions.
The Juyong opened by Zhang He did not have to circumnavigate the transportation of food and grass. Although the mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk, after all, there are some obstacles from mountains, and there will be less wind, snow and cold, otherwise even if you don’t count the circumnavigation.
The road is just about the desert under heavy snow, which is white and has no coordinates. I am afraid that one ten is not allowed to transport forcibly.
Now after spring, Youzhou has gradually recovered some colors. Although it is still half a year before the autumn harvest, at least there is greenness around the fields. Not only can war horses eat fresh tender grass, but also ordinary ones.
People can also pick some ferns and wild vegetables in the water grassland as food to satisfy their hunger, and the pressure on food and grass is relatively less.
Zhang He's burden of redirecting was lighter, but he still couldn't rest because new situations occurred.
"The Jiankun tribe of the Desert asked for help?" Zhang He was a little surprised.
The distribution of tribes in the desert and their respective spheres of influence are actually very chaotic. Even if the Northern Region Army has been operating in the desert for many years, it is within the influence of the Northern Region Protectorate's Office, it can only plan all ethnic groups and tribes.
The settlements and migratory nomads are basically beyond reach in the farther and northerly areas. In many cases, it is just a rough range, such as a certain place or a certain direction, which is probably a certain tribe.
The Xianbei in the desert is now defeated, the Wuhuan is extinct, and Ding Ling is defeated by Gan Feng in Liaodong. The rest is Jiankun Rouran, but his strength is still impossible to compare with when the Hu people were strong.
This time Jiankun encountered trouble.
The invasion of the Seminar people.
Jiankun Rouran at the beginning said that he could resist the attack of the Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Semi-Se
After receiving the news, Zhao Yun somewhat despised Jiankun Rouran's combat effectiveness, but there was no way. He had to send someone to the desert to support him, otherwise the back line might be unstable, so he found Zhang He.
Moreover, some of the Hu cavalry who came with Zhao Yun, who were more difficult to communicate and manage, can also take this opportunity to transfer back to Beimo. Otherwise, it would be fine in Youzhou. After all, Youzhou is relatively dilapidated, and these Hu people are
In front of the harsh military laws and rare property, my mind is somewhat clearer, but once I enter the Jizhou area, I will be scattered to various county towns. It is hard to say whether I can still control my own hands and control myself.
Of course, these things are not suitable for publicizing on a large scale, just as a few important generals know about them.
Zhao Yun is now the highest commander of the Northern Region. Although his next target is close to you, he cannot pick corn and lose watermelons. The security of the Northern Region that should be maintained and the back is stable, so it still needs to be done.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhang He, after a brief rest, began to summon soldiers returning to the desert around Jixian County, he was facing such a chaotic situation at the moment.
Some Hu people are willing to go back, but others are also unwilling to leave.
Logically speaking, of course, it is necessary to identify which people are more suitable to go back and who can stay. However, in the military camp in Jixian, there are noisy noises and occasional frictions between the tribes, for the sake of the army.
As resources, daily quarrels, and various small war reports, the information gathered together is simply too long-winded.
Zhao Yun and Zhang He didn't want to do more meticulously and more perfectly, but the whole scene was only two of them, or some people, and they couldn't quickly figure it out, so in the end they could only be divided roughly.
At a moment, the Hu people who surrendered to the Han army in a relatively early period were kept, while the soldiers of the Hu tribe in the later period were led by Zhang He to circle the desert and meet with Jiankun Rouran.
Youzhou itself does not have much supplies, and it is necessary to prepare for the season when the green and yellow are not available after farming this year, so Zhang He can take away not much supplies. Fortunately, Zhang He himself does not care about these external things, and he doesn't care much, but just estimates it.
The approximate consumption can still be supported, so I will take my men and horses to the north along the Gubeikou Mountain Road.
After Zhang He returned to the desert with some of the Hu cavalry, the number of soldiers in Jixian decreased, but in the same way, there were relatively fewer things. Before Zhao Yun could take a breath, the message sent by Wei Yan arrived...
"A battle with northern Hebei?"
Zhao Yun frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Unlike in history, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan did not have much friendship.
Well, maybe even in history, there is not much friendship.
If Jiankun Rouran did not say that there was a crisis in the desert, Zhao Yun might have agreed, or focused on Wei Yan's combat plan, but now...
Zhao Yun is not a person who likes to take risks. All his actions and risks faced must be within the range he can bear.
Although Jizhou and Youzhou are all prefectures, the land size is much different.
In Youzhou, Zhao Yun could only guard the three cities of Juyong, Yuyang and Jixian without moving, and could nail Youzhou tightly. No one could get up, but if the troops spread out to a larger city,
More Jizhou...
Then it is inevitable that you will be unable to meet the situation.
Zhao Yun thought about it and suddenly remembered someone...
『Come!』 Zhao Yun ordered, 『A few days ago, some son of Cui came... Where is this person?』
Zhao Yun only remembered Cui Lin, and Cui Lin was very sad during this period.
He did not have the identity of Liu Ye, nor did he have the intelligence of Liu Ye. The key is that Cui Lin could not be like Liu Ye, and when he saw something wrong, he would sway his sleeves and leave.
Liu Ye tried to shake Zhao Yun, but when Liu Ye found that Zhao Yun was firm and could not be deceived at will, Liu Ye immediately put away his tentacles of his touch, then pretended to be honest, and followed the etiquette in a straightforward manner.
Say goodbye.
Zhao Yun naturally couldn't keep Liu Ye, and there was no reason to keep him.
Cui Lin obviously couldn't do it as free and easy as Liu Ye...
Or smart.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu Ye immediately put down his posture, integrated into Zhao Yun's officials to collect information, and at the same time he also solved his own food source. Otherwise, under the circumstances of Youzhou at that time, he would not be able to buy it even if he had money.
What food to eat!
Cui Lin was unable to do this, so the money he brought was quickly spent.
It’s not that the people who sell food are greedy for money, but that in Youzhou, food and grass are extremely scarce. Selling one bite to Cui Lin means that you may have to have one bite less. In this case, if Cui Lin had not sold it high enough
No one will sell food to him at all.
If Cui Lin could still go to the woodcutter with others, maybe she could hold on for a while, but when Cui Lin got to an adult, where did he get a hoe and a hatchet?
So, in the past few days, Cui Lin has been leaving but can't leave, and has no food to eat, and can't even find any good place to rest. It's really miserable. When Zhao Yun's men found him, the first thing was
Ask if there is any food...
Zhao Yun was also helpless and could only send someone to send some food first.
Cui Lin finished eating it hornyly. After burping, his brain suddenly had a short circuit. He didn't know what to say to Zhao Yun. He was on the road and all the words and ideas he had conceived in the past few days.
I can't remember it anytime!
Seeing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing out loud.
Generally, Zhao Yun doesn't laugh, but he really can't help it at this moment...
"Come on! I ask, you say..." A moment later, Zhao Yun stopped smiling and stared at Cui Lin and asked, "Choi, Qinghe, what exactly do you want?"
『This…』 Cui Lin never expected Zhao Yun to go straight in so single shot. Suddenly, all the great principles seemed to surge between his chest and abdomen, but were pressed back by a stomach full of food, and his brain was empty,『
this……"
Zhao Yun's eyes gradually became stern, "If there is another half of false words... you should know the consequences!"
Cui Lin's khan suddenly came down and had a bitter face, "The little one... the little one, of course, is the truth, to say it truthfully... Cui, what Cui wants now is Qinghe...
...
...
February of the tenth year of Taixing.
Xu County, which had just solved a "crisis", has not returned to its former peace. It is still in a tense, anxious and noisy atmosphere and cannot extricate itself.
Although the cavalry army remained unmoved at Hangu Pass, there were still rumors in the court in Xu County, and the people were also anxious. Of course, this "people" did not cover as wide as in later generations.
The issue of how to treat the General of the Cavalry who did not abide by the imperial edict and sent troops at Wuguan without authorization was once very controversial, but because of Cao Cao's arrival, these discussions were paused again. Almost everyone was waiting for something, as if they were waiting.
As this war passes quickly, it seems that it is waiting for someone to teach who can give whom a hard lesson, etc.
Cao Cao regained the authority in the court and naturally had to take on the responsibility for the entire situation. Whether it was the emperor or the ministers, they were somewhat caught off guard by Cao Cao's sudden return, but in the subsequent time, the emperor and the people
All the ministers were silent. The atmosphere in Xu County was like a compressed spring, which became tighter and tighter. No one knew when it would rebound or collapse.
In the entire Cao Cao camp, if Cao Cao is the largest flag, then Xun Yu in the Xu County base camp is the flag bearer who ensures that the flag does not fall. However, under the current situation, Xun Yu is also in a dilemma.
Although Cao Cao's defeat was predicted during the previous battle, everyone hoped to win rather than wait for failure. Moreover, in the later stage of the Battle of Hedong, the overall defeat of Cao's army was too fast, and things happened.
It was too sudden, and there was a feeling of a wall falling down and people pushing it, breaking the drum and hitting it, which caused a lot of chain reactions, which made it somewhat smart and wise as Xun Yu, and was also a little busy and exhausted.
Nowadays, the situation in the entire Shandong and the heart of the Central Plains is no longer optimistic.
At this time, the gathering in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Office were several of Cao Cao's core ministers.
"Most of them watch the fun, how many people really care about the country?"
Cao Cao sat on his head, and although his temples had a lot of hair, his waist and back were still straight.
"For a country, one should be brave enough to serve. How can one look forward and hesitate and retreat? As the saying goes, do his best and then leave the will of heaven. What's more, the destiny of heaven is unknown at this time, and there are many variables on the battlefield. Even if the army of cavalry goes out of Hangu in the east
, It was also a lonely army to go deeper! This is really a good opportunity for us!」
That's it, but everyone knows the actual situation.
Since the launch of the cavalry, they often defeated the many with fewer troops, and they were not "going deeper alone" once or twice. If they were really defeated because of "going alone", Fei Qian would probably have died long ago.
I knew how many times, the corpse turned into bones!
Fei Qian is still doing well now, which means that just by relying on this "in-one army" is not difficult for the Cavalry Army!
Cao Cao knew this too, so he looked around and said in a deep voice, "If the military armor was used as a plan, Xinmang would have changed the world back then!"
This is a resounding voice, and everyone's expressions are straightforward!
This is what it means to be said.
That's true.
The failure of Wang Mang's new dynasty and the successful establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty were certainly the result of the joint action of multiple factors, but the most important point was that Wang Mang touched the fundamental interests of Shandong Central Plains, especially Yuzhou and Jizhou, which were dominated by the landlord class!
Guided by Confucian idealism, Wang Mang tried to restore the "Zhou Li" of the Western Zhou Dynasty and implemented a series of retro reforms, one of which was to take back the land, prohibit buying and selling, and redistribute it according to the well-field system. This policy is not only
It was directly contacted with the interests of the powerful landlord class, and even violated the interests of ordinary people's self-cultivated farmers!
Does anyone like the land that I have worked hard for decades and finally bought, but in the end, it becomes the country with a command? So where is the meaning of my hard work for a lifetime? Dedication, sacrifice? Loyalty and filial piety
, benevolence and righteousness?
Wang Mang obviously failed to reconcile this point, nor did he propose solutions and measures to resolve land annexation. Instead, it made everyone from the landlord class to the self-cultivated farmers opposed Wang Mang's system, and also caused him to lose the foundation of the New Dynasty.
Because he lost the support of the people, Wang Mang's taxes could not be raised, and to suppress rebellions in various places, it required a lot of expenses. Therefore, Wang Mang had a headache and a headache to treat his feet. He reformed the currency system four times in a short period of time.
The issuance of the imaginary currency, Daquan Fifty, etc., further damaged the credibility of the New Dynasty, and caused prices to expand, and the entire public complaints were everywhere.
In addition, Wang Mang's lack of "legality" was also an important factor in the later military's centrifugation and corruption. Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty through "abdication". Although he used prophecies and Confucian theories to package the legitimacy, the new dynasty was always facing
The dilemma that Wang Mang violated the key core of Confucian ethics since the Han Dynasty, and his behavior of usurping the king by ministers is difficult to be completely accepted by scholars in terms of morality.
The most important thing about Liu Xiu's success in rebuilding the Eastern Han Dynasty and continuing the political framework of the Western Han Dynasty was that Liu Xiu clearly opposed Wang Mang's institutional reform, which met the psychological expectations of the bureaucratic group and the powerful.
And the old stories of Wang Mang seem to be somewhat similar to the current situation!
Cao Cao proposed this point quickly boosted the confidence of his subordinates.
Wang Mang!
Liu Xiu!
Old things and old times, this life and this life!
