Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

On April 15th, after Xu He’s request, Zhang Yan took the young handsome Sun Qing as the vanguard, and went out of Xihe County to the west. The soldiers pointed directly at the Hedong and Pingyang Counties. Due to the lack of garrison in these two counties, most of the two counties between the tenth The city was captured.

Zhang Yan personally led an army of fifty thousand as a backup, and Sun Qing was energetic.

At the same time, Liu Ye led his army non-stop to the south and arrived at the Taiyuan County Office, Jinyang.

"General, Binzhou has experienced wars and has a population of only 600,000. However, the general escorted one hundred thousand Hannus back from the Xiongnu. A certain person has built houses in various counties in the northern part of Binzhou and divided his administrative offices. Over time, Binzhou will add another 30,000 soldiers. It is not difficult for the general to provide tens of thousands of stones every year."

The middle-aged man standing in front of Liu Ye had three long beards under his jaw, and his back was straight. He was the son of Fazhen and was appointed by Liu Ye as the new Fayan of Bingzhou.

Liu Ye nodded: "It's easy to say, don't drive, Liu has three things to explain to you, listen carefully."

Fa Yan bent over and arched his hands, respectfully said: "Please explain to the army, Fa must bear in mind."

"Well, it's easy to say, listen carefully: First, the state has been war and chaos, and the people are in distress. It is necessary to appoint wise officials and not to exploit the people. The grain tax is one-fifteenth.

Second, the key to politics is to win people, and the state has vast land and no one cultivates. Now the general led his army to expel the Xiongnu, and the northern part of the state has vast land, which can divide the land among the people and encourage fertility.

Third, no order is allowed, and there is no need to raise troops, and if there are bandits in the prefecture, please ask Wenhou to go south and produce with peace of mind. "

The three governmental decree that Liu Ye explained is actually one, rest and recuperation. Bingzhou was originally a relatively desolate state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, similar to Liangzhou and Jiaozhou. The population is sparse and the land is vast. As long as you make good use of it, sooner or later Can become a densely populated place.

"Promise, please rest assured that within ten years, Yan will make every effort to make Binzhou a place of peace." Fa Yan promised.

"Yeah." Liu Ye nodded, and Guan Hai's voice came from outside the door.

"General, Mr. Wenhe, please see me."

Fa Yan is very enthusiastic: "General, since that's the case, a certain retire temporarily."

Liu Ye hummed, Fa Yan walked out, while Jia Xu walked into the hall and bowed his hand to Liu Ye.

"General."

"Wenhe, what is the emergency military situation in recent days? Did Xu He mobilize his troops to attack Hulao Pass?"

Jia Xu shook his head: "That's not true, but we may have encountered some obstacles on the way to the south."

Liu Ye frowned: "Could it be that... Zhang Yan, the servant also sent troops to embarrass me?"

The Black Mountain Army has been entrenched at the junction of the two states of Bingzhou and Jizhou. It is said that the Montenegro Army is known to have millions of people. Of course, most of them are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but they are also strong and should not be underestimated.

After all, a million Black Mountain Army, even if only one-tenth is a young adult, it would be a hundred thousand troops.

"Huh, when the Yellow Turban rebellion was a pity, Zhang Yan would not have been shot to death, otherwise, would there be such a big disaster today?" Liu Ye snorted.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The general's words are very bad. Even without Zhang Yan, there are Wang Yan and Li Yan, but I think the general has a plan already in his mind?"

Liu Ye nodded: "In that case, let the Jizhou provincial governor Han Fu lead the army to attack the side of the Black Mountain Army, and let the Black Mountain Army flanking it."

"Well, our army has the emperor in hand, just ask the emperor to issue an edict, isn't Han Fu going to send troops obediently?" Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"By the way, what has happened to Yuan Benchu ​​recently?" Liu Ye suddenly remembered, and then asked.

"Yuan Benchu ​​has a great ambition. He has been recruiting troops and horses in the two counties of Bohai. Now I am afraid that 30,000 troops have been gathered." Jia Xu's face was slightly solemn.

"Thirty thousand people?" Liu Ye wrinkled his brows as well. "There are 30,000 troops in the area of ​​two counties. Even if Jizhou is densely populated, Yuan Shao's monthly military expenditures are not small."

"Do you need to remind Han Fu? Let him be careful about Yuan Shao?" Jia Xu suggested.

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, let Han Fu be careful. Although Yuan Shao has no more than two counties, he has 30,000 soldiers and horses. He can be called a strong soldier. Apart from Gongsun Bosi, he is afraid that no one can do it. Contend with it."

In the original history, it was Yuan Shao who invaded Jizhou, then defeated Gongsun Zan, sitting in the land of Hebei, and once suppressed Cao Cao's head.

Unfortunately, Liu Ye was anxious to lead his troops south to pacify Xu He, so he didn't care about him anymore.

"That's right." Liu Ye said suddenly: "I heard that Liu Youzhou and Gongsun Zan have always had entanglements?"

"Yes, Liu Yu has a good reputation in Youzhou, advocating a policy of gentleness against the Hu people, while Gongsun Zan used a white horse to suppress the Wuhuan people bloody. The contradiction between the two has a long history. Although Liu Yu is Youzhou Mu, Gongsun Zan, as the prefect of Peking, is a strong soldier, and is suspected of deceiving the superior. The conflict between the two has been deep over the years."

Through Liu Ye's network of spies all over the world, Jia Xu has a good grasp of the situation in all parts of the world. He was originally a man of wisdom and wisdom, and the analysis of the situation in the world through the intelligence he possessed is even more powerful.

Liu Ye pondered for a while, and said, "If this is the case, don't let Gongsun Zan sit idle. Isn't his white horse righteous and sharp? Ask him to lead his troops to the south from Beihai County to Qingzhou, and go south and north with brother Meng De Let's work together to squeeze the Qingzhou Yellow Turban."

"Nuo, this will send someone to ask the emperor's edict to be delivered to Han Fu and Gongsun Zan as soon as possible."

"Well, where is Sun Qing now?" Liu Ye stood up and walked to Yutu.

Jia Xu stepped forward, sliding his fingers lightly, and stopped in Wenxi County in Hedong County.

"Sun Qing led an army of 20,000 and marched all the way west. Now he has captured Pingyang County, and his troops are directed at Wenxi County, a barrier to the north of Hedong County. Our army's defenses in Hedong are relatively complete. Xixian, there is still some distance from Anyi." Jia Xu said sternly.

Liu Ye looked at the two counties of Wenxi and Anyi, which were only 30 miles apart on the map, his complexion gradually strengthened.

"Okay! In that case, our army quickly moved south, arrived in Wenxi County within two days, smashed Sun Qingjun with one blow, and then entered the hearts of the people in Luoyang Anding Pass. After meeting with General Wen Ze, they can prepare to leave Hulao Pass to the east. Xu He and a million Yellow Turban thieves will fight to the death and bring down the Central Plains!"

"In that case, Xu will write to Han Fu and Gongsun Zan, asking Han Jizhou to send troops to attack the Black Mountain Army's flank, so that Zhang Yan will not be able to help Sun Qing." Jia Xu bowed his head and arched his hands and strode out of the camp immediately.

Liu Ye stood in front of the map, stood with his hand held down, and shook his head a moment later.

"To calm the world, when would you have to wait?"
