Chapter 9 The Opportunity Is Coming
Ying Xiandi has not yet crossed the Yellow River, and a war report came from the north, which greatly improved He Chen's sense of urgency.
Liu Yu was engaged in Yuyang Xianyufu, Qi Zhou, Qidu Wei Xianyuyin, etc., leading Youzhou soldiers and horses to avenge Liu Yu, but they were afraid of Gongsun's power, so they elected Yan Rou as Wuwan Sima. Yan Rou recruited Xianbei, Wuwan and other soldiers and horses, and won tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers. He fought with Zou Dan, the Yuyang Taishou placed by Gongsun Zan, in the north of the Lu River, defeated Gongsun Zan's army, and killed Zou Dan. King Wuhuanqiao also led more than 7,000 cavalry of his tribe and Xianbei cavalry. He greeted Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao's general Qu Yi with Xian Yufu. He combined a total of 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zan, defeated Gongsun Zan in Baoqiu, and beheaded more than 20,000. Therefore, Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu and Youbeiping each killed the officers set up by Gongsun Zan and joined forces with Xian Yufu and Liu Hebing. Gongsun Zan was repeatedly defeated, so he fled back to Yijing to defend. More than a dozen trenches were dug in the Linyi River, and a mound of up to five or six feet was piled up in the trenches, and a barracks were built on the mound. The mound in the middle of the trench is the highest, reaching more than ten feet. Gongsun Zan is one of them. He only lives in it with his wife and concubines, and hoards three million grains.
Yi He was the last Gongsun Zan to stick to his position. In history, it was Yuan Shao's famous tunnel battle. After breaking through Yi He, Gongsun Zan was forced to commit suicide. Since then, Yuan Shao has completely unified the north and controlled the four prefectures of You, Ji, Qing and Bing, which are rich in people and things. The power is so great that no one in the Central Plains can beat him.
He Chen was a little hesitant about this matter. On the one hand, he really wanted to follow the process of great history. After Yuan Shao's defeat, he took advantage of the fire to rob and take over the four prefectures of Hebei before Cao. But on the other hand, I'm worried that I will welcome Emperor Xian and dig up Xun You, Guo Jia and Cao Jian. Can they still develop according to the historical process, and then have a war with Yuan Shao in Guandu to determine the fate of the north? Even if it is really carried out, can Cao Wei defeat Yuan Shao without the advice of these two people? If Cao Wei was chased back to the south of the Yellow River by Yuan Shao like a chicken for his own reasons, he would have a lot of fun, and he would typically hit himself in the foot with a stone.
For this confusion, He Chen casually threw it to Jia Xu. Originally, this guy still wanted to hide it. He Chen couldn't stand He questions one after another. Finally, he slowly said, "I don't know if the state priest greets the emperor. Do you want to blackmail the emperor to order the princes, or do you want to separate him?"
For this problem, He Chen originally wanted to refute it, but thinking of Jia Xu's exquisite heart, the more he concealed himself, the more he was despised by others. He couldn't help but say, "Now that the Han Dynasty exists in name and is dead. If you want to enter the warehouse with swords and soldiers, Ma Fang Nanshan, you must use extraordinary means."
Although there is no positive answer, the meaning in it is that as long as the brain is a little faster, people can understand the three flavors. Jia Xu nodded and said in a low voice, "In today's world, the most powerful people are Zhou Mu and Yuan Shao. If Zhou Mu can take the opportunity to destroy Yuan Shao, take Jizhou in one fell swoop, and unify the north, the situation in the world will be much clearer. Due to the annual battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun, Jizhou is now full of people. Zhou Mu took the opportunity to enter Hebei, and there were fewer disturbances.
He Chen nodded thoughtfully. Although Jia Xu's words were ordinary, they still hit the key. As long as he could destroy Yuan Shao and pace Hebei, he could be dominant. At that time, in the name of the emperor, he would raise the momentum of Hebei and then drive heavy troops. Didn't those princes who were waiting to wait and see fall down?
"If you want to take the four states of Hebei, it's a good opportunity at the time. Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops and Gongsun fought in Yijing. At a time of emptiness in the rear, as long as our army went out of the middle three paths, it could go straight to the whole territory of Jizhou. It's just that someone is worried that Bingzhou guards Yanmen in the north and Qiang Zhurong in the west. In case the army marches east, they will take the opportunity to make trouble, but it will be a bad thing.
Jia Xu laughed and said, "Zhou Mu has been worried too much. Although the Xirong ethnic groups are fierce and brave, the living environment is really difficult. In recent years, the state Mu has been effective in the political work of Qiang and Huairou, and the effect is remarkable. Especially in the Fuluo Department of Xihe County, they are even more obedient to the Zhou Mu's words. In order to open the final analysis, it is It is because of the improvement of tribal life and the interests of Bingzhou. Therefore, my subordinates think that as long as a messenger is sent to make friends with the western war, this place is not to be afraid.
"Of course, if it is safe, although Gongsun has been defeated in a row, now according to the danger of Yijing, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to capture it in a short time. Zhou Mu can also take this opportunity to completely solve the Xirong Qiangnu and Xiongnu issues. Then turn the gun head and make a fatal blow to Yuan Shao.
He Chen nodded. This method is feasible. I still don't want Yuan Shao to be dominant in the north, because the process of history has changed, and it's still a matter whether Cao can get up or not.
He Chen welcomed Emperor Xian back to Bingzhou, and soon after, he decreed the world to change Taiyuan to Jin and designate it as the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, Daxing Dimu, the construction of palaces, the seal carving of lost printing mud and other things are ready to change the name of the country to Jian'an.
Emperor Xian was welcomed into the state, and the forces of the princes did not react much. They all looked on coldly. It was none of the matter and hung high. There are also a few people who sneer at why they did a big stupid thing in the morning. Moving this hot potato home is purely to make trouble for yourself. If you don't see the benefits, you will see the harm first.
It's just the benefits. Only He Chen can understand it and it's unspeakable.
Among other things, those who are only those who are in the heart of serving the court are like crucian carp crossing the river, and Luo Luo is always rushing to Bingzhou. Whether it is a famous family or a poor family, they all want to find an official position under He Chen. They have great expectations for the peace of the world and the prosperity of the people. You should know that whether He Chen is in Nanyang or Bingzhou, under the government, he is well-organised, the people have something to rely on, and the scholars have their own expectations. Although this guy has a lot of trouble with the big family, even so, the big people still flock to it, because the temptation is really huge. Whether the Wang family of Bingzhou is saved in the hands of He Chen, the momentum is better than before, or the Xun family and the Xiang family go further, or the decline of the Zhao family and the Huang family. The new rise, even Wei Yan, Gao Shun and other people born in a poor family are now in high positions of power and guarding one side. In fact, He Chen's use of people is not in the same place. This makes the literati and martial arts who think that they are full of experience and have all kinds of weapons, who don't want to glorify their ancestors and do a big job?
A large number of talents have been excavated and hired, and many ambitious people have been given great opportunities. Many of them are unknown people who have not been recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms. This makes He Chen almost wake up with a smile in his dreams, such as Zheng Hun, a manufacturer, and a papermaker like Zuo Bo.
After the capital was established in the Jin Dynasty, He Chen's first thing was to do three public affairs in the name of Xiandi Shaoyou, as a general riding a bicycle and a pastor of Bingzhou, and began to assist the government. Due to the lack of officials in the Shangshutai of the three princes and nine ministers in the court, Xun You was temporarily used as the chief farmer, leading the air affairs, and in charge of the world's money, grain and gold and silk. Of course, this does not include He Chen's small treasury. With Tian Feng as Guang Luxun, he temporarily receives Taichang's affairs. He is in charge of the ceremony, sacrifices, and the examination and selection of official positions. He also took Huang Zhong as the lieutenant, led the lieutenant, and temporarily ruled the soldiers and horses in the world. Among them, Guo Jia, Li Yan and other old ministers were also among the nine ministers, and they were prominent for a while. As for Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and others, they were all appointed as generals and commanded a party of soldiers and horses. It's just that this official seal is lively, and it's just a false name. Although the capital is Jincheng, the court also exists in name. Liu Xie has nothing to do except squat on the ground and draw circles. The decree issued can only be rotated in nine counties, and no one should take it seriously out of Bingzhou. But even so, it made the subordinates excited to sleep all night.
The second thing, He Chen pretended to be the hand of the emperor and published the world. Liu Bei was the left general to lead the Xuzhou Mu, Sun Ce was the former general to lead the Yuzhou Mu, Yuan Shu to lead the Yangzhou Mu, Yuan Shao as the general, and also led the two states of Ji and Qingzhou, etc. Once this order was issued, all the princes in the world were stunned. He Chen has never seen such a shameless person. He Chen clearly wants to provoke disputes among the princes. Liu Bei led Xuzhou to fight with Cao Qian; Yuan Shao has killed the red eyes in the north. Isn't it going to completely compete with Gongsun Zan? Sun Ce led Yuzhou to turn against Yuan Shu and face each other. He Chen knew that if this edict went down, it was estimated that all the princes all over the world would look at themselves as idiots, but He Chen didn't care. At least he would be famous for his own expedition in the future. He would still have to stand at the corner morals and do face.
Later, Jia Xu, who was illuminated by He Chen, suggested that while the princes of all walks of life were constantly competing for territory, they began to use culture and the economy to infiltrate the Qianghu people's area, attracting large and small tribes from all over the country, attracting differentiation, suppressing profits, and constantly opening up the market. It didn't take long. It didn't take long for the state side not only accepted Xihe County, but also From the newly built Shang County, the nine counties of Bingzhou were expanded to ten counties. Thus, the corridors to Yong and Liangzhou were opened. Of course, there is a bloody battle among them. Although He Chen did not make a personal expedition, Gao Shun showed a strong command and command ability, and still defeated the Hu people.
At the rest of the year, He Chen issued a call in the name of the emperor, asking the state and state herdsmen to return to Jinyang to report on their duties. As a result, it can be imagined that none of the princes in the world entered the state. No one cares about this edict.
At this time, an emergency document from Yihe completely revitalizes He Chen's mind.
Gongsun Zan first sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army for help.
Zhang Yan has always been an ally with Gongsun, and soon sent 30,000 generals to support Gongsun first. How did he know that he had not waited for Zhang Yan to personally raise his soldiers to go out for the expedition. Du Chang, who was greedy and became a surname, plundered all the way. The soldiers could not break up. He was led by the cavalry by Vice General Yuan Shao and killed several generals. Du Chang, who killed, failed to defeat the army. When he fled back to Changshan, there were only hundreds of soldiers.
Gongsun continued to see that Du Chang was defeated, and Zhang Yan could not send troops in a short period of time, so he turned to Taihang and entered the territory of Bingzhou to offer help from the emperor. To be more precise, he asked He Chen for help.
The great opportunity is in front of He Chen.
