An unsheathed sword is the greatest threat. Literature bar wxba When the Hussars sword was unsheathed and slashed towards Youzhou, all the heroes in the world heaved a sigh of relief and happily continued to make their own plans.
It is true that there are far-sighted wise men like Guo Jia, but more people can only choose to focus on the present instead of thinking about what will happen in a few years or even longer.
In Zhou Yu's words: When the Qingzhou Army is dispatching in large numbers, any inappropriate move may cause the opponent to change the direction of attack. Instead of making those small moves, it is better to deal with the opponent in front of you as soon as possible and enhance your own strength.
He was a man of action. Five days after saying these words, he led 10,000 navy troops to encounter the main force of Huang Zu's navy in Penglize. He used Qimou, set fire to Huang Zu's water camp, and took the opportunity to cover up and kill Huang Zu's general Deng. There were more than 20,000 people below the dragon level, more than 10,000 people were drowned, and more than 6,000 ships were built. They achieved an unprecedented victory.
Huang Zu and his eldest son Huang She barely escaped with their lives. They were in panic all the way and did not dare to stay. They gathered the remaining soldiers and retreated to Shaxian City. They did not dare to go out behind closed doors and gave up a large territory in the eastern part of Jiangxia.
Sun Ce naturally accepted everything honestly and without courtesy, and prepared his troops to pursue the victory.
After Liu Biao heard the news, he was greatly frightened. He no longer cared about going to Nanyang to pick up the bargains. He hurriedly sent his subordinate Liu Hu and Han Xi, a native of Nanyang, with 20,000 troops to urgently reinforce Jiangxia. He also sent a message to annex Yuzhang and attached himself to his fellow clan member Liu in Jingzhou. Yao, prepared to talk about the principle of lips dying and teeth cold, hoping to have him send troops to attack Sun Ce in order to alleviate the crisis in Jiangxia.
The battle was so fierce that the two sides naturally had no way of paying attention to the Northern Expedition that was taking place thousands of miles away. No matter what happened in the future, at least there was no intervention from the hussars and the two sides were fighting happily.
Another powerful force in the Jianghuai area, the Huainan Army did not join the war because the later general Yuan Shu was preparing for a major event in his life. In order to realize this dream of generations, Yuan Shu did not even have time to pay attention to the Jiangxia war that was so close at hand. Who will pay attention to the news of the Qingzhou Army's northern expedition?
At most, it is just used as another layer of insurance, and the possibility of Qingzhou Army's intervention becomes even lower.
Among the princes who were not directly related, only Dong Zhuo had a relatively special attitude. At the same time that he received the news of the Northern Expedition, a letter from Wang Yu was also placed on his desk.
The other party's strong words and unreasonable demands made Dong Zhuo very unhappy. What made him even more depressed was that no matter how unhappy he was, he could only agree.
The matter in Hebei was too far away from him after all. The role of an imperial edict was only nominal and would not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. Now that Guanzhong is under internal and external pressure, he really can't afford to provoke new enemies. .
After Cao Cao took control of Luoyang, the trade route from Qingzhou to Guanzhong was greatly disturbed. Although Cao Cao did not block the river in order not to arouse Qingzhou's hostility, it was inevitable to set up checkpoints along the way to guard customs clearance fees.
Qingzhou merchants didn't buy it very much. They ran away when they could and avoided when they could, but the obstacles were formed after all.
The current trade routes in Guanzhong mainly rely on the Hanoi and Hedong lines. The profits of this trade route are good, but it takes too long and is risky. After the opening of the Jianghuai trade route, it has become less and less attractive. , it can only be maintained thanks to the various preferential policies of the Qingzhou Commerce Department.
Dong Zhuo himself also understood that Wang Yu maintained the trade route in order to use himself to contain Cao Cao. But this kind of thing cannot be avoided by understanding. You can't surrender to Cao Cao just to prevent Wang Yu from getting what he wants, right?
It was the same now. The other party threatened him with this trade route, and Dong Zhuo could only pinch his nose and admit his misfortune. He summoned Zhong Yao and asked him to write it with a brush. Then he took out the jade seal from his sleeve, covered it, and conferred Liu Yu the title of great prince.
Sima, the imperial edict calling him back to Beijing to report on his duties has just been issued.
After hearing the news, the only person who really reacted directly and seemed ready to act was the high-ranking cadre of Bingzhou, Yuan Tan. The two of them had lived an extremely hard life in the past two years. Bingzhou was barren and chaotic, and the most terrible thing was that
Invasion of the Qingzhou Army.
The name Xu Shu is more famous than Wang Yu's name in Bingzhou today. People in Bingzhou believe that this name can stop children from crying at night and drive away sneaky people. Many people are thinking about getting a portrait of him to take home.
Wait until the end of the year to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, and hang it in the hall to keep the house safe.
It’s not to blame the people for being ignorant. If Sirius hadn’t descended to earth and the God of War had not reincarnated, how could he have fought so many victorious battles in less than two years? He obviously only brought a few hundred people with him each time, but he was able to win them all by force.
Wan Bingzhou's army had no choice but to huddle in Huguan and not dare to leave?
The people's admiration for Xu Shu is the best reflection of Yuan Tan's hard-working career as a high-ranking official. In the past two years, they have been tortured by Xu Shu in an extraordinary way, which is enough to make those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.
Not to mention counterattacking Wei County, it was a blessing to be able to defend Huguan and keep the Shangdang intact. Thinking back to the gnashing of teeth and hatred and determination for revenge when they fled Jizhou, and looking up to the future, both of them felt that there was darkness in front of them, and they really wanted to give up just like that.
never mind.
Having been oppressed by Xu Shu for so long, the two of course thought about fighting back, but crossing the Taihang Mountains was already very difficult. What made them even more desperate was the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wei County!
The Yulin Army under the command of Yu Jin was once regarded as Wang Yu's personal guard. It had a brilliant record and was well-equipped. Whether in terms of quantity or individual combat power, it was far inferior to Yuan Bingzhou's Army. Moreover, Guan Ning's reserve brigade also often
Stationed in Wei County, the Bingzhou Army went to Wei County to counterattack? No, it was to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, right?
Therefore, the two of them can only endure it, even if they can't bear it anymore!
Until a hundred forbearance turns into gold, the opportunity to fight back finally comes!
Wang Yu's three armies marched northward, leaving behind an empty rear area. Others did not dare to mess with him, but Gao Gan and Yuan Tan did!
The left and right sides have already formed a deadly feud. If they don't take advantage of this best and last opportunity to seek revenge, why don't they wait for the other party to stabilize the rear and attack? Xu Shu is cunning and is at home in the Taihang Mountains. He can wait until he invades Wei County.
, can he continue to hide and hide?
The two of them put all their energy and reserves into preparing for the war. They only waited for Wang Yu's three armies to completely leave the country before launching a fierce attack on Wei County!
Compared to the secret rejoicing of the Central Plains heroes and the determination of Yuan and Gao, the mood of those who actually faced the Northern Expedition army was much more complicated.
After leaving the Taihang Mountains and stationing in three counties in the west of Jizhou, Zhang Yan set his seat of government in Julu. Although the geographical locations of Quliang and Handan were better, due to various considerations, Zhang Yan still subconsciously chose to stay away from the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.
It's not that she's afraid of Wang Yu's surprise attack, Zhang Yan just feels that something bad might happen if she gets too close to him.
Facts have proved that his concerns are very reasonable. The scene that happened to Gongsun Army and made Shan Jing depressed also happened to the Black Mountain Army.
At first, when both sides were working hard to build their territory, things seemed to be going smoothly. But after a while, I took another look and found that the gap between the two sides had become very large.
Although Zhang Yan also worked hard to farm and implement benevolent government, he had too few talents, and even the farming in the usual sense was a bit chaotic, let alone the development of industry and commerce.
But here in Qingzhou, everything is in order. What Guan Ning mainly does in Yecheng is to carry out infrastructure construction, building roads, digging canals, and building embankments. All constructions are carried out in an orderly manner. During the autumn harvest, the results are fully displayed.
The average yield per mu in Wei County is more than 30% higher than that in Guangping County, and the new property of the people's families is nearly twice higher than that in Guangping County! After the news reached Julu, the generals of the Montenegrin Army were dumbfounded.
I originally thought that the starting points of both sides were almost the same. My side focused on farming, and there were many good farmers in the army. Even if it couldn't compare with Qingzhou's jurisdiction, the gap was only a few centimeters.
As a result, in less than a year, the two sides are already so far apart!
Zhang Yan couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, she finally broke the barrier he had created, sent a note to the Qingzhou General's Mansion, and took a group of generals from Montenegro to Wei County to inspect to see why the gap was so big.
The Black Mountain Army was far away from Gaotang, so they only heard about the prosperity of Gaotang and did not take it seriously. Wei County was originally the most prosperous county in Jizhou and the second key development site in Qingzhou.
The big cities such as Gaotang, Yecheng, Liyang, and Anyang that have emerged since then all show similar or even different features.
The Qingzhou fashion led by Wang Yu is actually very close to that of the Tang and Song Dynasties. People of this era can easily accept it and will not find it awkward.
The generals of the Montenegrin Army were all grassroots from poor backgrounds, and they did not live a good life for a few days after the uprising. Life in Montenegro was considered the most stable, but they were just living in the ravines, and they had never seen any prosperous scenes.
?
Previously, when I was engaged in construction behind closed doors in Xisan County, I felt that life was much better than living in the mountains. Now when I came to Wei County and saw this, I was immediately dazzled and didn't know where I was.
Looking at the bright and diverse costumes of the pedestrians walking on the street, the rows of shops on the street, the imposing residences and theaters, and the dazzling array of new products and things, the generals of Montenegro felt aggrieved.
I feel like crying a lot.
People like myself have been working diligently and conscientiously for a whole year, but why is the gap still so big?
People’s property has doubled? That’s nonsense! Just counting the surplus grain and money at home, it may only be doubled, but considering what money can buy and what grain can be exchanged for, the gap is at least two or three times!
They are all rich places in Hebei Province. General Hussar built it for a year, and the place became as prosperous as the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. People like me worked hard for a year and turned the three counties in the West into a ravine...
…
Is this what Yan Shuai said about inheriting the legacy of the great virtuous teacher?
Therefore, in the second year, which was the year when Qingzhou changed its name to Kaiyuan, the contact between the Black Mountain Army and Qingzhou became frequent.
At first, it was just some low-level generals who ran to Wei County in twos and threes. Later, even big bosses like Wang Dang and Sun Qing joined the ranks. People who went south for vacation came in groups and couldn't be stopped. Especially Bai Bo in Wei County.
After settling down, Wang Dang and others had a very good reason to go and learn from the Yellow Turbans.
In this regard, Zhang Yan also deliberately blocked it but was unable to implement it. In fact, even he himself was shaken.
The original decision to draw a clear line with Wang Yu was indeed without any selfish motives. Zhang Yan just felt that Wang Yu was playing both sides between the aristocratic clan and the grassroots, and the Black Mountain Army contributed a lot in the Hebei War and had every chance to become independent.
development, and completely realize the ideal of the great sages and mentors in those days.
As a result, facts have proved that determination alone is not enough. You must also pay attention to methods in doing things, otherwise the gap between the two sides would not be so big.
In the fourth year of Zhongping, he had been thinking about it, and his mood was fluctuating. At one time, he felt that he should stick to his original intention, and at another time, he felt that moving closer to Qingzhou would not be a bad thing.
It wasn't until news of the Northern Expedition came out and a personal letter from Wang Yu was placed on his desk that Zhang Yan realized that a decision was imminent.
He summoned the leaders and showed Wang Yu's proposal to everyone. There was only one content in the letter: Borrow the way!
