In any case, this wave of turmoil caused by the siege of Chen Yuansheng has subsided.
All parties are basically satisfied and believe that they have achieved the results they wanted.
As for who loses and who wins, only the future will tell.
However, Chen Yuan is confident that he will win the battle.
After all, I am a cheater.
You can't win even if you cheat, so it's better to just crash to death and go back through it.
It has now been three years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is 187 years.
There are still two years until Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty dies.
In Chen Yuan's memory, there was not much happened in the past two years.
Of course that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.
For example, this year, Liangzhou fell. Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, and Fu Xie, the prefect of Hanyang, died in battle. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, who were from Yuyang County, joined forces with Wuhuan to launch a rebellion in Youzhou and killed Jichou, the captain of the Wuhuan school.
On the right are Liu Zheng, the governor of Beiping, and Yang Zhong, the governor of Liaodong.
This is also the reason why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty gave You Beiping to Chen Yuan.
Do you really think Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty showed mercy?
Don't be kidding, no matter what, he is the emperor. Do you think it is possible for an emperor who has been in power for more than thirty years without the emperor's scheming?
Even a pig would become a spirit after controlling such a huge empire for thirty years, let alone Liu Hong.
The reason why Youbeiping was taken out by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was because this place had to face the pressure of Wuhuan.
Therefore, You Beiping is not so easy to get, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Tian Fei are busy.
Of course, Chen Yuan also believed in Tian Feng's ability. With the help of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, it would not be a big problem to stabilize You Beiping.
After all, there is still a fierce man in Youzhou.
That is Gongsun Zan.
This guy was really fierce in beating the barbarian, and it was just a slap in the face.
When you are happy, you will beat the barbarians, and when you are unhappy, you will also beat the barbarians.
In short, in his eyes, Hu people are like three-year-old children, who can be taken out to beat them when they have nothing to do.
If Tian Feng goes to You Beiping, as long as he has a good relationship with him, it won't be a big problem to hold on to You Beiping.
Besides, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are brothers. For Liu Bei's sake, Gongsun Zan will also take care of Tian Feng and the others.
One thing to say here is that the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei is really good.
Gongsun Zan was also very interesting to Liu Bei.
In history, Gongsun Zan also supported Liu Bei many times and did not regard Liu Bei as an outsider at all.
Now Gongsun Zan is already a Zhonglang general and Dutinghou, and he is fighting Wuhuan and Zhang Chun in his vassal country.
If Tian Feng and the others go quickly, they might be able to catch up with Gongsun Zan in defeating Zhang Chun.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Chun, Qiu Liju and others fought in Shimen, a vassal state of Liaodong. Zhang Chun and others were defeated, so Zhang Chun abandoned his wife and children and fled into Xianbei.
Gongsun Zan continued to pursue, but because he went too deep, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for more than 200 days. The soldiers ran out of food and collapsed, with most of the soldiers killed and wounded. Qiu Liju's army also ran out of food and was exhausted, so he fled to Liucheng.
The imperial court decreed that Gongsun Zan should be appointed as the commander of the imperial camp, the title of Marquis of Ting, and the governor of the state.
Therefore, if Tian Feng and others can join this battle, they might hope to kill Qiu Liju.
Qiu Liju is not an ordinary person. This guy's two sons are Lou Ban and Tadun.
Lou Ban's abilities are average, but Tadun is a character.
Ta Dun was also a brave man, and all the border elders compared him with Ma Dun. Relying on his ability to block a distance, he dared to accept death and conquered hundreds of barbarians.
When this guy was at his most awesome, he dominated the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu.
Coincidentally, two of these three counties were captured by Chen Yuan.
And this guy was later beheaded by Zhang Liao.
Tianding Wuhuan will be destroyed in the hands of Chen Yuan.
As for Cao Cao?
Just have fun while you're at it.
Of the above two things, one involves Gongsun Zan, and the other involves Dong Zhuo.
Liangzhou fell, the governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi, and the governor of Hanyang Fu Xie died in battle. This is actually very symbolic.
What does it mean?
This meant that the imperial court basically lost control over Liangzhou, and Liangzhou entered an era of melee from then on.
Dong Zhuo also took advantage of this situation to gradually take control of Liangzhou and become a veritable king of Liangzhou.
As for Ma Teng and Han Sui, they both had to step aside.
This also provided a solid foundation for Dong Zhuo's later chaos.
The very important reason why Dong Zhuo was able to stay entrenched and develop his strength in Liangzhou was that the chaotic situation in Liangzhou was inseparable from Dong Zhuo.
This led to Dong Zhuo becoming powerful.
Later, the imperial court realized this situation and wanted to promote Dong Zhuo to Shaofu and let him leave Liangzhou.
But Dong Zhuo refused to go.
Later, Huangfu Song was asked to take control of Liangzhou instead of Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was promoted to Bingzhou Mu.
Dong Zhuo had no choice but to move forward, but when he reached Hedong, he refused to go any further. Later, he finally got the opportunity.
Almost following Ding Yuan into Luoyang.
To be honest, this guy Ding Yuan is also a waste.
If Ding Yuan had been a little more decisive and firm, there wouldn't have been the mess that Dong Zhuo did later.
It's a pity that history has no ifs.
Apart from these two things, there is nothing major.
It was not until April 11, the sixth year of Zhongping, that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died.
Therefore, Chen Yuan can farm in Luoyang with peace of mind in the past two years.
Of course, farming just means that, and it is not really farming.
He wanted to cultivate power in Luoyang, win over officials from the DPRK and China, strengthen the Jinfeng Guard, and place people from Jingzhou to occupy the key passes in Guanzhong, so that if the world changes, he can quickly control the situation.
Chen Yuan left it to Guo Jia to take charge of strengthening Jinfengwei.
Guo Jia will later be the chief of general staff in Chen Yuan's plan, and the intelligence aspect should have been under his control.
As for winning over officials from the DPRK and China, it was none other than Jian Yong.
Chen Yuan also brought Jian Yong to Luoyang.
Jian Yong is Liu Bei's fellow countryman and close confidant. Bringing Jian Yong to Luoyang will bring many benefits. As for the benefits, Samadhi can understand them himself.
Moreover, Jian Yong is really very friendly and can quickly get along with anyone. Such a person is perfect for external relations.
It would be great if Sun Qian and Sun Gongyou could be brought together with him.
Sun Qian also served as Liu Bei's envoy to various parties many times in history, and his diplomatic ability was also very strong.
Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Yi Ji were all dignified and courteous in the world.
These four people are Liu Bei's diplomatic team.
Mi Zhu is probably a bit mysterious, because the Mi family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou and has done very well in Xuzhou, so they will not join Liu Bei.
This is different from history.
Historically, when Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, Tao Qian was about to die, and the Mi family urgently needed someone to rely on.
They fell in love with Liu Bei and believed that Liu Bei would achieve great success.
That’s why in history, there was the phenomenon of giving away girls and money to people.
But now, the Mi family has nothing to ask of Liu Bei.
It's totally unfeasible.
After all, Tao Qian is still strong now.
The Yi nationality must be left to Liu Bei. We cannot bring all the people from the diplomatic corps to Luoyang. We must leave one for Liu Bei.
Although most of the ministers in the DPRK came from powerful families, there were also some who came from poor families.
It's just that the official position is not high.
But this is not important. Chen Yuan, who has a high official position, has not yet made friends with him.
The people I make friends with are people whose official positions may not seem high, but their positions are somewhat important.
For example, the city gate captain, the assistant officer of a court office, or the principals who actually work.
Many of these people come from relatively humble backgrounds.
To be able to be a Shangguan, one has ability and some reputation.
It is very difficult for disciples from poor families in this era to get ahead.
For example, Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was a man of great talent and ability, but he was suppressed because his political views did not match those of his superiors and because he came from a "small and isolated family".
The greatest official in life is the county meritorious officer.
Even after being suppressed, he never held an official position again and went home to study.
It is also because of this that there was a great thinker in Chinese history.
On Balance is his work.
Geniuses are not the result of learning. In previous generations, Meng Ke, Sun Qing, Yang Xiong, Liu Bai and Sima Qian of the modern Han Dynasty could not pass.
Therefore, those who come from a poor family and manage to come to Luoyang must not only have outstanding abilities, but must also be very capable as a person.
Such talents are what Chen Yuan needs.
There is one person here that Chen Yuan values the most, and that is Zhu Jun.
Although this person is a bit easy to kill, but to be able to grow from a humble family to become one of the last three famous generals of the Han Dynasty, one can imagine how powerful this person is.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty was able to exert its strongest combat power in the hands of three people.
Huangfusong, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun.
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi both came from powerful families.
Only Zhu Jun came from a poor family.
Zhu Jun is currently serving as the prefect of Hanoi County.
The last time he killed Sima, Zhu Jun pretended not to see Jingzhou's actions.
Chen Yuan also wanted to accept his love.
As for why Zhu Jun pretended not to see it.
The reason is simple: Sima's influence in Hanoi is too great.
Once a disciple from a humble family like Zhu Jun grew up, he would have a natural hostility towards powerful families.
It's just that because the powerful family is so powerful, it's hard to take action.
Zhu Jun was eager for Chen Yuan to take action.
You can use this as a reason to get involved in a relationship.
If you add more, it will not be difficult to win Zhu Jun into your camp in the future.
To be honest, the three famous generals of the late Han Dynasty can all be won over.
Not to mention Lu Zhi, Liu Bei’s teacher was born to be on Liu Bei’s side.
Zhu Jun belongs to a poor family, and Jingzhou's policy is to suppress powerful people, which is conducive to the rise of poor families, so Zhu Jun will naturally tend to Liu Bei.
Even Huangfu Song can be won over.
Because this guy is a die-hard royalist.
As long as everyone in Liu Hong's line is dead, it will not be difficult for Huangfu Song to choose Liu Bei as the next emperor.
What's the point of winning over these three people?
It lies in the last Central Army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The fifth school of the Northern Army.
The number of people was not too large, probably around tens of thousands.
Sometimes there are more than 10,000 people, and sometimes there are tens of thousands.
Now, in order to suppress the Yellow Turbans, the Northern Army has expanded to about 30,000 people.
Don't underestimate these 30,000 people.
To be honest, these 30,000 Northern troops can crush hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans.
Even the Xiliang Army and the Northern Army can fight one against two or even three.
This was the basis for the imperial court to suppress all parties.
The entry criteria for the fifth school of the Northern Army are very strict.
First of all, he must be a good family member of the six counties.
Secondly, it is necessary to reach the eighth level of cultivation.
Yes, you read that right, ordinary soldiers need eighth level cultivation.
After joining the Northern Army, you must undergo rigorous training and military formation training.
A complete set of weapons and equipment will also be issued.
Everyone wears armor, and there are different weapons, such as spears, iron shields, halberds, cavalry, crossbowmen, etc.
In short, the five schools of the Northern Army are a very powerful combat force.
If we can control this army, we can expand it into a powerful army that can sweep the world in a short time.
Because the soldiers from the fifth school of the Northern Army can be made into commanders or even commanders in the ordinary army.
When the 30,000 Northern troops are expanded into an army of 100,000, their combat effectiveness will not drop too much, and they can quickly build up their combat effectiveness.
One of Chen Yuan's purposes in coming to Luoyang was to save this powerful army.
In history, this army later disappeared without a trace.
The big reason is because of Dong Zhuo's mess.
Chen Yuan could not let Dong Zhuo destroy such a powerful army this time.
Jin Fengwei was given to Guo Jia, and the matter of winning over the ministers of the DPRK was left to Jian Yong and Sun Qian.
As for the placement of generals at important passes, Chen Yuan had to do it himself.
But this cannot be rushed, it needs to be done slowly.
There are almost two years left, so that’s almost it.
By the way, we need to recruit more talents during this period.
For example, Xu Huang who was still working as a minor official in Hedong, Jia Kui in Bingzhou, Wang Shuang in Longxi, etc.
These people have not yet prospered, and are even very poor.
Especially Jia Kui, he is probably still in a state of hunger and cold.
As long as Chen Yuan is willing to reach out to these people, he will definitely be able to win them over.
There is another character named Tian Yu.
This man is Liu Bei's good friend, so there is no reason not to bring him here.
The reason why we didn't bring him here before was because this guy's old mother was sick and couldn't travel far.
These problems no longer exist now.
You can definitely let him go to Youbeiping.
This man is truly a great talent.
The name of Yu is not passed down to the people, but according to its historical records, the talent of the imperial army and the ability of using troops, it can be compared with Man Chong, Guo Huai and others.
This is a handsome man who can rival Guo Huai.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this person is a Beiditong.
There is nothing he doesn't know about the border areas. It is a living map that will be indispensable for sweeping the grasslands in the future.
There is another person, that is Qianzhao.
The relationship between this man and Liu Bei is even more ironclad.
Cutting one's neck to death.
Compared with Guan Yu, the relationship between Zhang Fei and Chen Yuan may not be any weaker.
We have to say here that Liu Bei's ability to make friends is really incredible.
None of the friends I have made are weak.
Qianzhao was a cavalry commander, and he also had his own way of dealing with the barbarians in the north.
This person is not suitable to be brought to Luoyang. It is most suitable to place him in the five counties of the north.
As long as these two people join in, it will be basically safe to deal with the barbarians and barbarians in the north.
In the future, Liu Bei will unify the world and won't have to worry about the barbarians and barbarians from the north coming to cause trouble for him.
Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Tian Yu, isn't it luxurious enough to recruit this lineup to defeat the barbarians from the northern grasslands?
To be honest, Cao Cao's conquest of Wuhuan in history may have been nothing more than this, or even worse than this camp.
You must know that the people here are all from the north, and they are all good at commanding cavalry, and they are well aware of the habits of the barbarians.
