Chapter 266 Hongnong Yang Biao is the Taiwei? Dong Zhuo is so angry that he wants to vomit blood!

Xinye, Dengjia.

Octagon Pavilion.

Deng Xun pinched a strand of beard under his chin and nodded with interest: "So, Your Majesty has somewhat repaid us Nanyang nobles."

"I really didn't expect that."

Deng Xun's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "Your Majesty would actually abolish the land rent of thirty to one tax and change it to a fixed tax, and only charge five liters per mu?"

"snort!"

Deng Xun snorted softly and let out a long breath: "If the tax calculation is based on this, the 200,000 stones of food and grass we provided before will be able to earn back in a short time."

"That's right."

Deng Tong nodded with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Your Majesty is indeed very good to our Nanyang nobles, and he issued it in the form of an imperial edict. I don't think it will be changed in a short period of time."

"We, the Deng family, have at least one million acres of farmland in Nanyang. According to the calculation of the yield per mu in previous years, we can save at least half a liter per mu, or even more. In a year, it will be tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass, or even countless."

Years later, I made money back."

"and......"

Deng Tong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "His Majesty has issued an order to seek talents. All members of the Deng clan can submit their applications to the public transportation department. As long as they pass the preliminary review, they can take the exam."

"I have heard that in order to select talents, His Majesty will start the exam as long as a hundred people sign up. The questions will be set in many aspects, including military art, classics, and even arithmetic."

"Master!"

Deng Tong bowed his head and said softly: "You were worried that our Deng family's foundation in Confucian classics was not as good as that of the Confucian scholars in the Ruying area, but how can they be our opponents in terms of military formations?"

"Even if we, the Deng clan, cannot become officials through the Five Classics, we can still become officials through military merit. Although we will start from the grassroots level, in the end we will have more hope."

"My nephew thought..."

Having said this, Deng Tong was already very excited: "This is also your Majesty's care for our Nanyang nobles. After all, everyone in the world knows that we, the Nanyang nobles, started their careers through military service."

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang people had an absolute advantage in the court. Among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, thirteen were from Nanyang. When Guangwu decided to retire meritorious officials and join civil servants, there were still three exceptions, namely Deng Yu,

Li Tong and Jia Fu were both from Nanyang.

To put it bluntly, the Nanyang gentry are real military meritorious gentry. This is their roots. Even though they have experienced the transformation of officialdom and classics in the following two hundred years, they will never forget this roots.

of.

When comparing Confucian classics with the Ruying family, the Deng family felt ashamed, but when comparing their military skills and formation formation, Deng Xun had absolute confidence that he could defeat the Ruying family.

The previous worries were swept away, and Deng Xun let out a sigh of relief: "Yes, His Majesty is good to our Nanyang nobles after all. As for Deng Hui, he can only blame himself for not being able to see the situation clearly."

"kindness."

Deng Tong nodded.

He knew very well that this was the old patriarch's heart problem, so he could only try to comfort him: "We have done our best to be benevolent and righteous. It's my uncle who is still involved with the Kong family. No wonder we are."

At the beginning, Deng Xun had issued a strict order that no one in the clan should be involved with the Kong family, but Deng Hui refused to listen and still wanted to lend war horses to the Kong family. He was naturally to blame for the situation he was in today.

call-

Take a long breath.

Deng Xun was completely relieved.

Someone in the clan rebelled, but he didn't commit the crime again and just committed suicide. Now His Majesty has broken the rules in selecting officials, reorganized the tax system, and taken care of the Nanyang gentry in many aspects. What else can he be dissatisfied with?

Is it possible...

Will Nanyang Hanting really become the Deng family’s world?

It would be really strange if His Majesty really did this!

The success of any clan cannot be achieved overnight, and as one of the founders, the Xinye Deng family is already uniquely endowed. From now on, as long as we work steadily and develop collaboratively, we will be able to restore the glory of our ancestors.

"Okay."

Deng Xun waved his hand and said softly: "My dear nephew, the next selection of officials for the imperial court will depend on you. Whether it is a temple or a military camp, I, the Deng clan, can take in as many people as I can."

Deng Tong cupped his hands and said sonorously: "Master, don't worry, my nephew will live up to his high expectations."

*****

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Dong Min Military Camp.

Boom!

Hundreds of fine cavalry came galloping over. Everyone was holding a crossbow, twisting the bow and setting an arrow, aiming at the archery target group not far away. There was a burst of light rising up to the sky, like a heavy downpour, covering the target.

"this......"

Dong Zhuo looked in disbelief, his eyes as wide as bells: "Everyone can ride and shoot? Are they the elite in the army?"

Dong Min grinned with pride on his face: "Prime Minister, they are all ordinary cavalry. Although they have experience in riding, none of them can ride and shoot before."

"really?"

"nature."

Dong Zhuo stared at the cavalry passing by. They put away their long bows and replaced them with spears. They all held spears in both hands. They plunged into the training ground with a spear, and aimed at the wooden sign that was erected, there was a burst of blows from left to right.

Cut, be unstoppable:

"I didn't expect that!"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, filled with emotion: "Just relying on these stirrups and a special saddle can have such a miraculous effect? ​​No wonder King Hongnong's cavalry is so powerful!"

"yes!"

Dong Min was also deeply touched.

When he was ordered to intercept and kill Zhang Liao, eight hundred cavalrymen ran rampant and escaped from the encirclement of thousands of his elite cavalry.

If there are no double stirrups and a special saddle, how can it be done?

Dong Min breathed out a breath: "But Prime Minister, this time we also have double stirrups and a special saddle. As long as we breed enough horses and recruit enough cavalry, there is no need to worry about revenge."

"kindness!"

Dong Zhuo nodded, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

He did not hesitate at all and made a decisive decision: "Quickly promote the double stirrups and special saddle to the entire army. In less than five years, I will rebuild the Xiliang Xiaoqi and compete with King Hongnong!"

Dong Min leaned forward and held up his hands: "Here."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded not far away.

Dong Zhuo turned around and looked.

But Li Ru hurried over, looking slightly panicked. He leaned over and said, "Prime Minister, something bad has happened. Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao have all been defeated. I think King Hongnong has successfully ascended the throne."

"What?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was furious and furious. He stared at Li Ru next to him and shouted sternly: "Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao were all defeated? How is this possible!"

Li Ru sighed, slightly embarrassed and said: "Yes...it's true! Ru has confirmed it repeatedly."

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened with anger: "Damn it! When we were at Sishui Pass, I thought Cao Cao was extraordinary and a talented general. I never thought that he could defend Yingchuan so tightly."

"Defeat Yuan Shu first, then defeat Zhang Miao!"

At this point, Dong Zhuo subconsciously clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his anger was beyond words: "And it's only one day apart, it's really incredible."

"Prime Minister!"

Li Ru quickly bowed his head and said softly: "Actually, Zhang Miao may not be defeated, it's just that there was a small problem in the middle."

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be curious: "Oh? What's the problem?"

Li Ru replied: "When Zhang Miao launched an attack on Yanling, his camp was attacked and his troops' food and grass were burned. This forced Zhang Miao to stop his troops."

hiss-!

Dong Zhuo, who had experienced many battles, naturally realized that something was wrong.

Cao Cao was still fiercely fighting Yuan Shu in Lin County yesterday. How could he suddenly appear in Yanling and surprise Zhang Miao's camp without anyone noticing, and burn all the food and grass there?

This is obviously unreasonable!

Dong Zhuo asked urgently: "Who did this?"

Li Ru couldn't help but marvel at Dong Zhuo's judgment. When he asked, he naturally guessed that it was definitely not Cao Cao: "It was the scholars who were preparing to go west to defect to King Hongnong. They temporarily formed a cavalry of a hundred people and raided Zhang Miao's camp.

"

"ah-!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned: "A hundred cavalrymen defeated Zhang Miao's camp?"

Li Ruen nodded: "Prime Minister, it's not that Zhang Miao's defense was unfavorable, but that the camp was not firmly established and the gate of the camp was breached quickly. Only then did he jump into the camp and kill the general."

Dong Zhuo frowned: "How do you know such a detailed process?"

Li Ru answered honestly: "That's right."

Now.

Li Ru then told the whole story: "After Xia Houyuan chased him out, the troops could only bluff and Cao's army pursued them, leaving the camp defense empty."

"The sergeants of Zhang Miao camp took the opportunity to rebel and killed the soldiers who stayed behind. Some fled back to the countryside and some to Fugou. Therefore, the matter had already spread and it was easy to find out."

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

Li Ru said softly: "So Prime Minister, Cao Cao's victory is purely a fluke. We will still have a chance in the future."

Dong Zhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, as long as our edict is not revoked, Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao will continue to attack Yingchuan. No matter how many troops he sends, Yingchuan will not be at peace."

"That's exactly what it means."

Li Ru smiled calmly and bowed his hands: "Yuan Shu, although Zhang Miao failed this time, it does not mean that he cannot win in the future. Even if King Hongnong establishes a new dynasty, the foundation is unstable. How can it withstand such consumption?"

"Prime Minister, don't worry."

Li Ru tried his best to appease Dong Zhuo: "Even if King Hongnong ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, in the eyes of the world's scholars, he still cannot be compared with our Chang'an Hanting."

"What Wen You said is true."

Dong Min on the side also spoke up to advise: "Prime Minister, the Nanyang New Dynasty is just a bunch of brats. They can't even gather the officials in the court, so how can they stir up any trouble?"

"Don't worry."

Dong Min said with great certainty: "Just talking about the influence of the court, we have Yuan Wei, the fourth generation and the third prince, and we have Sikong Xunshuang, what do they have? It is not easy to have Yingchuan Xunor, but he is still a late student.

They are just juniors, so what’s the point?”

call-

Dong Zhuo let out a sigh of relief and thought about it carefully, it was indeed true.

Although King Hongnong was very courageous and wanted to establish a new dynasty, the difficulties were not as simple as imagined.

The imperial court is different from the army. You don't just have to win the battle. Dong Zhuo still hasn't figured out the secrets of this, let alone he is still a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"That's all."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes: "As long as we fully popularize double stirrups and special saddles, there is no need to worry about not being able to eliminate the new dynasty of King Hongnong."

Dong Min nodded: "Yes, that's exactly the reason."

"Report—!"

But at this moment, a long announcement sounded again not far away.

Dong Zhuo turned his head and looked around, and said suddenly: "No need to ask, the news that King Hongnong has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor must have come."

When the messenger arrived on horseback, he hurried forward.

really!

The messenger handed over his hand: "Prime Minister, news came back from Nanyang that King Hongnong successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The person we arranged to assassinate did not succeed and has now returned."

"kindness."

Dong Zhuo had already predicted this.

The emperor was so easy to assassinate, so he didn't care at all. He just asked: "Who is the three princes in Nanyang Hanting? Or who is the prime minister, Xun or not?"

The Three Dukes need three people, while the Prime Minister only needs one.

Dong Zhuo naturally subconsciously believed that during this critical period, King Hongnong would concentrate power on one person, so that limited human resources could be used to their maximum effect.

"No!" The messenger shook his head.

"oh?"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be curious: "Who is that?"

The messenger handed over his hand: "There is only one of the three Dukes of Hanting in Nanyang. He is Hongnong Yang Biao, who has been temporarily appointed as Taiwei.

hiss-!

Dong Zhuo's eyes were as wide as bells, and he gasped: "Yang Biao, Taiwei?!"

The messenger nodded affirmatively: "Yes, exactly."

"Damn it!"

Dong Zhuo chewed secretly: "After I deposed this guy, he actually went to Nanyang! I have the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third Duke, in charge, and King Hongnong also has the Yang family, the fourth generation and the third Duke, in charge!"

"This kid..."

Dong Zhuo clenched his fists subconsciously, feeling a burning pain on his face, as if someone had slapped him hard: "You really have some skills!"

Li Ru looked in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the Hongnong Yang family would actually go to Nanyang. Yang Biao has a great status in the hearts of scholars. With him in charge of Nanyang, he can indeed compete with us."

"Yang Biao!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with anger, and he gritted his steel teeth: "I have to smash him!"

"Pass the order."

Dong Zhuo did not hesitate and shouted: "I ordered Niu Fu to lead his troops to attack the Hongnong Yang family. In the name of surrendering to the enemy and treason, I will make him pay the price of blood for the three tribes of Yi."

"Prime Minister, think twice!"

Li Ru's heart skipped a beat and he quickly tried to dissuade him: "The Hongnong Yang family, the fourth generation and the third Duke, although they are not as powerful as the Yuan family, they still have many disciples who are famous in the world."

"Prime Minister, if you are from the Yi and Qi tribes, you will definitely be involved in a lot of things. If you make Yang's disciples and old officials displeased, I'm afraid we will be passive!"

"Don't forget it."

Li Ru quickly reminded: "We are currently in Guanzhong. The power of the Hongnong Yang family here is equivalent to that of Yuan Shu in Runan. If we attack Yang Biao, we will have to face double pressure from inside and outside the court."

"Prime Minister!"

At this point, Li Ru bowed deeply and said sincerely: "We have finally stabilized the court. Now is the time when we need to recuperate. If we do this to the Hongnong Yang family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover within three to five years."

!”

In a sense, Chang'an Hanting was like an outsider to the Guanzhong gentry. They could only rely on the gentry here to obtain money, food, soldiers and horses.

The Yang family of Hongnong was the most influential branch of the gentry in Guanzhong. Once Dong Zhuo attacked him, with his influence in the court and local prestige, the Han court in Chang'an was bound to be in danger.

"Damn it!"

The hatred in Dong Zhuo's heart welled up, but was suppressed again.

At this moment, he even envied King Hongnong.

Although it is difficult to establish a new dynasty, the power can be guaranteed and there will be no other worries.

No matter who you are, if you want to kill someone, you must first think about whether there will be any irreversible effects.

This feeling is really fucked up.

Seeing Dong Zhuo pause for a moment, Li Ru added fuel to the fire: "Prime Minister, if you really want to suppress the three tribes, you will definitely make Yang Biao follow King Hongnong wholeheartedly, and the former officials of the Yang family will definitely switch to Nanyang Hanting. This way

Doesn’t it fulfill King Hongnong’s wish?”

"A little impatience will ruin a big plan."

Li Ru took a deep breath and spoke directly to Dong Zhuo's heart: "Prime Minister, at this moment, we must be more careful, and we must not make a big mistake."

call-

Dong Zhuo took a long breath and tried to keep himself calm.

He stared at Li Ru with burning eyes: "Wen You, fortunately you are here, otherwise I would not be able to suppress this anger."

Li Ru bowed his head and said: "It is the duty of Confucianism to share the worries of the Prime Minister."

*****

Nanyang.

Emperor's palace.

Hall of Wende.

Liu Bian held the battle report with a look of disbelief on his face, and thought to himself: "Damn it! No way, Xia Houyuan would actually make such a low-level mistake? Isn't he a famous general of Cao Wei?"

"Master Ben."

The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "Don't think too much of Xia Houyuan. I wonder if you have heard of the title 'General Bai Di'?"

"General Baidi?"

Liu Bian was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked: "I have only heard of White Horse General Gongsun Zan, but I have never heard of White Horse General. Could it be that it is the title of Xia Houyuan?"

"That's right."

The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "It is recorded in the "Wei Wu Army Policy Order" cited in "Taiping Yulan·Volume 337·Ministry of War 68·Antlers":"

"Liu Bei's army burned the antlers, and the antlers were fifteen miles away from Xiahouyuan's camp. However, Xiahouyuan personally led 400 soldiers to the antlers position outside the camp, and then asked the soldiers to repair the damaged antlers."

"Liu Bei saw this scene from the mountain and sent troops to attack from the valley. Xiahou Yuan led his troops to fight with the enemy. The enemy then moved around. Xiahou Yuan's army retreated to the base camp, but he himself failed to return."

"ah?"

Liu Bian was stunned: "Didn't Xia Houyuan die in Dingjun Mountain? What does it mean that he didn't come back?"

The alliance of military advisors quickly explained: "Xia Houyuan died in Dingjun Mountain. The soldiers and horses that came out of the valley were the soldiers and horses led by Huang Zhong. Xia Houyuan died in the battle, causing chaos in the army. Huang Zhong took advantage of the situation to attack.

The battle was lost.”

"Historical data records that Xia Houyuan did not know how to use troops. The officers and soldiers in the army called him 'General Bai Di'. This is a derogatory term, but it is definitely not the praise he received from Gongsun Zan, the White Horse General."

Liu Bian nodded with interest: "Indeed, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he actually went to mend the antlers himself. How can he still do anything serious?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors smiled: "So, it is reasonable for him to underestimate the enemy and rush forward to expand the results! Although Xia Houyuan has some achievements in history, this alone is enough to knock him off the altar of famous generals."

Liu Bian always thought that Xia Houyuan was very powerful.

After all, in the game of Three Kingdoms, Xia Houyuan's command value is generally between 88 and 92.

With such a commander-in-chief value, it is difficult for people to imagine that the real Xia Houyuan actually looked like this.

He personally led troops to repair antlers, but Liu Bei seized the opportunity and killed him with one strike?

hehe!

Liu Bian asked himself, even if there was no military alliance to assist the left, he would never do such a low thing.

The leader should have something to do.

Leading troops to repair antlers is something that small soldiers can't do, but you actually need to do it yourself, the general?

Liu Bian was completely speechless.

This incident really subverts people's three views!

certainly!

Historically, Xia Houyuan was able to repair antlers.

So, it is understandable that he is leading his troops out of the city now.

Liu Bian tried his best to stay calm: "Teacher, should I deal with him for Cao Cao? For such a general, even if I punish him with a hundred sticks, I won't be too much!"

"no!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors immediately stopped him and said, "You are calling Yue Zu Dai. Disciplining his subordinates is Cao Cao's business. He will naturally handle it. You don't have to worry too much, otherwise you will have to worry about it in the future."

"How did Zhuge Liang die in history? It was simply due to exhaustion. Every punishment of 20 sticks in the army had to be approved by him. It can be said that everything is fine."

"But a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to take care of everything. This kind of management model that sticks to the end is, in management terms, nanny management."

"The more capable a person is, the more likely he is to make this kind of mistake. Not only does he make himself very tired, but he also fails to give his subordinates the opportunity to exercise and cannot cultivate talents."

"So you see, after the death of Zhuge Liang, Shu Han suddenly lost a pillar, and there was an extremely serious gap in talent. As a result, Shu Han had no generals, and Liao Hua became the vanguard."

"Being a leader has the art of leadership. You should know certain things that you should take care of and certain things that you should not take care of. Just leave things like this to Cao Cao and you don't have to ask."

"at best!"

The Military Advisor Alliance retreated and said: "You can write a private letter to Cao Cao and express your views tactfully. Leave the decision-making power to Cao Cao. Never make the decision for him."

Liu Bian was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

Experts are indeed experts.

Handle things with ease and a good sense of proportion.

If it were him, he would definitely intervene subconsciously, and even wish he could make the decision for Cao Cao and punish him with a hundred military sticks.

But once he did this, in a sense, he was equivalent to ousting Cao Cao.

"I see."

Liu Bian took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Fortunately, we have the support of martyrs from Yanzhou this time. Otherwise, it is really uncertain what the outcome of the Battle of Yanling will be."

"teacher."

Liu Bian said tentatively: "We are now in the hiring period, otherwise we can hire them directly?"

The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "You can be hired directly without taking the test, but it is best to meet in person. Those who can destroy a military camp with a hundred elite soldiers in a short time are definitely extraordinary. Maybe there are historical celebrities among them, but not necessarily."
