Chapter 1 The First Year of the Beginning
In the blink of an eye, a spring and summer year.
This is the third year of the first peace of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shaobai is a general.
In the same year, the imperial court decided that His Majesty changed the yuan and restarted the year of Emperor Han Huan's accession to the throne, which was the first year of the beginning.
At the beginning of spring, Yuan Shu marched to Sanguan. The unpopular Song Jian left the generals who guarded Sanguan to surrender to the Han army, and was killed by Yuan Shu on charges of betraying the master, and then 20,000 Han troops poured into Wudu County. The Han army was like a bamboo, and the city under the jurisdiction of Song Jian was almost in the wind and fell, followed by Ma Yue who sent Dong Zhuo as a subordinate, from the Maiji Mountain, which is known as the 500-mile Gangluan, into the Wudu, and successively garrisoned Wudu Dao, Shanglu County, Gudao, Hechi County, Fu County, and Xiabi County, and fully received the city of Wudu County.
After Yuan Shu's army entered the capital, Ma Yue went to the table to Dong Zhuo as the military capital guard.
In the same month that Wudu was pacified, Han Sui, who suffered a heavy defeat, seemed to see that his general trend had gone, and he begged to surrender. I hope that Liangzhou Mu can give up his previous suspicions, and he is willing to report the taxes truthfully every year and obey Ma Yue's orders.
After more than a year of fighting in the Han army in Liangzhou, Ma Yue also had the idea of resting his troops, no matter whether Han Sui's surrender was true or not, he agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Longxi Pound, Wu Weizhi Wu Dai also bowed down. For the three counties of Jincheng, Longxi, and Wuwei, Ma Yue did not make much changes in personnel, but only added a lieutenant to each of them, and each led 2,000 troops to garrison...... Of course, actions such as private downstream chivalry and businessmen are essential. Even if it does not make people nervous, it can also grasp the control of the Han army over the place to some extent.
With the rebellious forces all annexed and the taxes paid in various places truthfully, the blocked roads of Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Zhangye counties were also dredged, and the three counties immediately reported to Longxian County.
At this point, the Liangzhou Rebellion from the first year of Zhongping to the present finally came to an end, and Ma Yue finally succeeded in pacifying Liangzhou.
Although there are still uneasy factors in this calm, Ma Yue no longer has so much time to manage - Cai Yan is happy.
Double happiness is coming, not only has it become the real lord of Liangzhou, but in the near future, Liangzhou will usher in its own little master!
Ma Yue wants to be a boy, he needs a boy.
In February, the Beidi County of the Liangzhou Army went to Xianping to resist Xianbei's reinforcements and returned victoriously, but the generals were as listless as frosted eggplants, not like a victorious army at all, but as if they had suffered defeat. When I asked Ma Yue, I knew that the battle against Xianbei was won, but later the Liangzhou soldiers and horses fought with Yang Fengbai's army and Ding Yuan's Bingzhou army because of the uneven distribution of war profits. The infighting of the Erzhou sergeants who watched and helped each other was already short-breathed, and what was even more sad was that the Liangzhou army was defeated in this battle by the bravado and the cunning of the state.
There were only 2,000 men and horses in the Northland, and the total number of scattered troops in the later rounds exceeded 3,000, and more than half of the Northland sergeants were lost.
According to the battle report sent back by Dou Liang, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu suffered heavier losses, and Niu Fu himself was still in the opposing army formation by a fierce general named Lu Bu under the command of Ding Yuan of the Bingzhou Army led a force called the trapped camp to break into the formation, the commander was seriously injured and was taken back to Liangzhou by his henchmen all the way, and most of the sergeants composed of Lu Shuihu and Tu Gehu were immediately dispersed.
This contradiction between the two states caused by the capture of war horses once again caused a trace of tension in Liangzhou, which was temporarily peaceful.
Dong Zhuo asked Ma Yue for war in the same month that his son-in-law returned, vowing to avenge his son-in-law by bloodbathing and merging the state, but Ma Yue refused on the grounds of Xin'an, Liangzhou. After being rejected, Dong Zhuo still wrote three times and twice, but Ma Yue's reply never changed.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he really doesn't have the strength to start a war against the annexation of states.
The channel north of Longxian County, Hanyang County, communicating with the seven counties is being repaired, and after avoiding the agricultural time, Ma Yue recruited 60,000 people to participate in the excavation and construction, which cost a huge amount. On the other hand, the state school has also entered the preparations, and the gentlemen are all well-known civil and military warriors in Liangzhou, passing on military and political strategies, as the follow-up talent pool of Liangzhou. In Ma Yue's eyes, this kind of thing is the real big thing for him now, and nothing and no reason can make him stop.
Liangzhou armor into the army for more than a year, the first batch of soldiers experienced the baptism of the battle of Rongqiu have also become veterans, this year's almost cruel training has made a great difference in their combat power, not to mention that although today's armor army still has not been able to reach the armor, the weapons are completely different. A muscular Liangdi man, with a short axe on his waist and hips, a strong crossbow in his hand, and a spear in his hand, galloped across the Liangzhou horse to patrol the official road. Whenever he inspected the fields and farmland, Ma Yue had a sense of pride when he saw this scene - his Liangzhou, the sun and the moon are new!
The armor army was created by him, everything these men were given by him, the weapons they used were made by his iron-making division, their horses were raised by his horse farm, and even the food they ate every day was the grain allocated by his Ma Junhao himself.
Everything in Liangzhou is developing steadily, but the general trend of the world is not as stable as Liangzhou.
……
Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou finally turned against Liu Yu, the respected state pastor, and the two sides fought for a whole spring. Although Liu Yu relied on Huairou's prestige to recruit Wuhuan people to fight to the death, it was still difficult to stop Gongsun Zhan's offensive, and most of Youzhou fell into the hands of Gongsun Zhan. The famous Gongsun Zan was nailed as a traitor by the imperial court at this time, and his head was rewarded by Yuan Shao with a thousand gold, and at the same time ordered Jizhou Mu Hanfu to help Liu Yu. The Montenegrin army marched to Youzhou, and Liu Yu, who received reinforcements, immediately launched an offensive against Yuyang County, where Gongsun Zhan was stationed.
The battle lasted for two months, and Liu Yu, who was supported by the Montenegrin army, besieged several cities in Yuyang one after another. Liu Yu, who was powerful, persuaded Gongsun Chan to surrender when he gained the upper hand, but before the letter of surrender arrived, he received the news that the rear grain road was cut off, and then he was raided by Gongsun Chan and his troops raided the camp, and Liu Yu himself was buried in Yuyang. After that, the Youji coalition army collapsed for thousands of miles and retreated straight to the Zhongshan area.
The Yellow Turban Yu Dang Guan Hai gathered the remnants of the army to besiege Beihai, and the Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong had no choice but to order the county to play Cao Shi Tai Shi Ci to go to the Plains Country to ask for help from the Minister of State Liu Bei. The North Sea and the Plains are separated by two counties...... Kong Rong asked Liu Bei for help, one was that he had heard of this person's reputation for whipping the post governor, and knew that he didn't care about the crime of crossing the border to attack thieves, and the other was that he had heard of Liu Xuande's courage in pacifying the Yellow Turban.
Contrary to Tai Shici's expectations, it is easy to ask for help, when he rushed to the plain country to meet Liu Bei to explain his intentions, he saw that the dignified man in front of him was actually flattered, and he said: Kong Beihai still knows that there is a person named Liu Bei in this world!
This is the surprise of a man who has a heart for the world but is unknown, and is flattered.
In this way, the thirty-one-year-old Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Xu Rong to step on the war horse again and embarked on his journey.
……
In Yanzhou East County, hundreds of miles away, Cao Cao pacified several bandits in East County and became a veritable East County Taishou. Cao Cao set his sights further. He still remembered his ambitions when he was younger, only now, Cao Cao felt that he was no longer young.
This year, he was thirty-seven years old and was the Taishou of Dongjun. And his twenty-seven-year-old Jun Haoxian brother has pacified the most chaotic Liangzhou Thorn History Department in the world and served as the Liangzhou pastor. Cao Cao thought a lot about this year, he felt that he had seen through this era, from a long time ago, the court could not be described as dark, those eunuchs were getting more and more inches, and the Qingliu ministers were one by one only using the dead festival to express their loyalty to the Han family, and all kinds of rebels came out, and the people were struggling to make a living. And more importantly, origin, what makes this era more and more important to birth?
For a person like him, he can only get the official position of the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang by asking for a eunuch, and even if he does not have Yuan Benchu, a childhood friend, he will not be able to get the official position of Dongjun Taishou smoothly. People pay more and more attention to their background, and the children of the high-ranking families determine where they will stay in the future as soon as they are born, rather than relying on their true talents to learn.
No!
Cao Cao decided that he wanted to be meritocracy!
The world is getting more and more chaotic, and he must use a shorter time to get more territory, because at least the land is in his own hands, and the people can live in peace, and more importantly, as long as he is still standing here, this man named Cao Mengde has a Chinese character flag in his hand! If he is a county magistrate, there will be one more county, if he is a taishou, there will be one more county, and if he is a state pastor, there will be one more state. Wherever he stands, he will be loyal to the Han family!
He is not a decisive military god, he is a serious Taixue background, he survives in Luoyang City in the name of the eunuch's ugliness, and the flying eagle lackeys drink and write poems and try their best to get closer to the Qingliu nobleson, but in the end he can only take out a knife and fight for his life to fight for his dignity. For thirty years, he was just trying to make others look up to him.
Just at a glance!
Now, others think highly of him.
You can govern the world with literature, and use force in troubled times!
He has a unique courage and a talent that shocks the world, but he suddenly finds that in the face of this chaotic world, these are nothing, maybe he is too naïve, or maybe this man who loves singing is delusional. He can't accept that he is standing by when the world is in turmoil, and he has to fight to talk about whether he is dead or alive. He wants to take away the luck of changing his life against the sky with this three-foot scholar. He wants to help the building topple!
If morality and etiquette can't save the common people in troubled times, then risk your life and use force to calm the world!
Thirty-seven-year-old Cao Cao set his sights on Yanzhou, a place farther away.
……
Jingzhou is a big fire pit.
Nanyang is the base camp of the highway, even if you go out to fight, there are thousands of soldiers watching you carelessly; As for the counties and counties, not to mention, the powerful have occupied the localities. As for this Jingzhou assassin history, it is even more incredible, the last person in the assassination history is called Wang Rui, and the man named Sun Wentai led the troops to Qin Wang to cross the border, and he stabbed it easily...... The imperial court decreed, and the new assassin Liu Jingsheng.
In any case, Liu Biao came at this time, a man and a horse.
He is Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han family, and he once served as the commander of the Northern Army and the Fifth School to crusade against the Yellow Turban; He also confronted the eunuchs with swords and hostile confrontations; He even openly confronted Ma Yue, who dominated the Jingshi and commanded the world, and asked him to cut down the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army.
Riding into Jingzhou alone is much harder than five words, but Liu Biao is not afraid. He has experienced too many hardships in the first half of his life, which time was not a little careless, but he hasn't carried it all?
Kuai Liang wants him to be benevolent and righteous, Kuai Yue wants to capture the thief and capture the king, and Cai Mao wants to marry him.
Now he has gained a firm foothold, but his heart is once again in his throat.
This time, he had to deal with the Jiangdong Tigers, Sun Wentai, who had defeated and driven Ma Yue away from Sizhou.
"State pastor, Sun Wentai led a large army to invade the territory of our state!"
Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath and stood up from the couch.
"Fight!"
