Chapter 356: Jiao Baozi and Tao Mengnan
- Plains Country
"Ah~~~ I'm finally back!" As soon as Ma Qiang got off the boat and got to the ground, he couldn't help but stretch.
The ship of this age was really uncomfortable, and he was about to die of discomfort.
"Congratulations to Ming Gong on his victorious return!" Duan Ying took a group of civil and military officers to pick up the driver on the side, Ma Qiang nodded, and asked as he walked forward, "Have you counted all the refugees' property that was transported?" β
Duan Ying was pushed by Duan Yu to follow Ma Qiang's side, nodded and said, "A total of 137,637 refugees have been transported by the front and rear fleets, 6,424 volumes of books, and the price of gold and silver property is about 30 million. β
"Is it only 130,000?" Ma Qiang sighed, his ships were still too few, and a large number of places in Henan were not under his control, and the million population of Henan had only brought back 130,000, so thinking about it, there was nothing too to be happy about.
As for the books, don't look at the only more than 6,000 volumes, not as many as the books of a big bookstore in later generations, but this is the Han Dynasty, books are scarce, and the original Luoyang royal family collection of books is only 20,000 volumes, and it was scraped to more than 6,000 by Ma Qiang, which is already a good result.
It is worth mentioning that the library of Lagan in Rome in the west also has a collection of more than 20,000 books.
"How's the counties doing?" Ma Qiang asked meaningfully.
"In the past few months of Ming Gong's absence, there have been some heroes who responded to Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and they have all been pacified, and the land under them has also been distributed to the people of Luoyang."
Ma Qiang nodded with satisfaction.
Now in the Kanto, the hat of Dong Zhuo's henchmen is the same as the hat of the Kanto henchman in Dong Zhuo, the thief is good!
"What about the Yellow Turbans?"
"Now the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has been divided into two teams, one team led by Guan Hai, from the Qi State to the Beihai movement, the Beihai Kong Rong troops will be trapped in the Beihai State, and the other team led by Xu He and Sima Ju in Jinan and Le'an, Jiao Thorn History has fought with it in thirteen battles, none of them have won, and they have been defeated and retreated to Licheng!"
The revival of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban can be traced back to the end of the fifth year of Zhongping, that is, a year and a half ago, since the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the world has been chaotic, the officials have lost their manners, and they have intensified, and now they have been claimed to be millions, of course, most of them are women and children's families.
"Yes, that's what I expected." Ma Qiang nodded, the opportunity in Qingzhou is on this assassin Jiao He, if it is a peaceful season, Jiao He may be a qualified assassin, but in this troubled era, Jiao He, who does not know how to fight at all, is a bun.
"Ming Gong, there is something I am afraid is not expected by us."
"What's the matter?"
"I just got a telegram from the Red Star Camp today, Gongsun Chan was worshiped by Dong Zhuo as the general of Anbei, and the seat of governance is in Changping, Gongsun Chan has led an army of 30,000 to Yuyang, and Liu Zhoumu did not object because he has the edict of the Son of Heaven!"
"What?" Ma Qiang looked at Duan Ying fiercely, to be honest, he had never forgotten Gongsun Zhan, but at this time, Youzhou was very different from history, Liu Yu was not without the support of strong soldiers, and he had many shadows deployed in Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan survived to death, that is, the rhythm of a Liaodong king, and wanted to become a majestic You, Hebei, Qing, and Yan four states as in history, and the possibility of being listed as a double hero in Hebei with Yuan Shao is almost gone.
But Dong Zhuo's hand has added too many variables.
"Gongsun Chan has been operating in Liaodong for so long, and he just gave up to Guangyang?" Ma Qiang thinks that Gongsun Zhan's brain is indeed a little wrong, isn't it good to be the king of Liaodong, come over and mix it up, are you this piece of material?
"The new Liaodong Taishou is Gongsun Du, and after Gongsun Du arrived in Liaodong, he promised to provide Gongsun Chan with grain and grass, and Gongsun Chan returned to the west."
"After Jia Xu gets off the boat, immediately call everyone for a meeting!"
ββThe conference room of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Plains
"Gongsun Zhan, this kid, should not have kept him back then!"
Hearing that Gongsun Zhan actually led the army into Guangyang, Lin Huan immediately became anxious.
Although Ma Qiang has gradually transferred his strength to the plains, the Red Star Battalion in Changping has always been the root of everyone, and there are countless sergeants' families still in Changping, if it is broken there, Ma Qiang will suffer heavy losses.
"Gongsun Chan can't be allowed to gain a foothold in Changping, otherwise the Red Star Camp will be in danger!" Ma Qiang looked at the map and turned around and said, "Two gentlemen, is there anything you can do to stop this guy?" β
Duan Ying had thought about the way before, and immediately said, "Duke Ming, Youzhou Mu is Liu Yu after all, and now that he has acquiesced, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to hinder him from taking office."
It is better to transfer the Xian Yu Fu and Shanggu Kou Xiantun Army to the Jundu Mountain, if the Red Star Battalion is in danger, it can also be rescued in time, at this time, our top priority is still Qingzhou! β
Jia Xu also nodded and said, "That's right, among the six counties of Qingzhou, Qi and Le'an have been completely destroyed, Liu Cheng, the king of Qi, has gone to Kongronga in Beihai, Liu Yun, the king of Jinan, was killed, Jiao He survived in Licheng, only I am peaceful in the plain, Ming Gong should be on standby at this time, and he should not be distracted elsewhere." β
"Two gentlemen!" Lin Huan stood up and said angrily, "The Red Star Camp is the home of a few old men of ours, if you don't want to take care of it, Ma Lang, let a few of our old men go back, and we will protect the Red Star Camp!" β
Ma Qiang put his hands behind his back and looked at the map, and his mind was also overturned.
"Red Star Battalion... There is no room for error! β
Lin Huan and the others suddenly laughed.
"But the words of the two gentlemen are right, what we should do now is to take Qingzhou!"
Lin Huan and the others' faces immediately drooped.
"Don't worry, uncles." Ma Qiang comforted Lin Huan and the others and said, "If Gongsun Chan dares to attack my Red Star Battalion, I will definitely let him come and go, and I will let Guo Jin lead a secret force to the Red Star Battalion to support, with this force, the Red Star Battalion is as stable as a rock!" β
Hearing that Ma Qiang was about to send a secret force, Lin Huan and the others were a little curious, Ma Qiang did not continue the topic, and asked about the surrounding situation.
"What's the situation in Xuzhou now?"
"Since Tao Qian broke through the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, while running the place, he has made friends with the surroundings, and now Lang Evil Xiang Yinde, East China Sea Xiang Liu Kui, and Pengcheng Xiang Jilian are all willing to obey his orders!"
Ma Qiang touched his chin, this Tao Qian is completely different from the good old man in Lao Luo's pen, Lao Luo wrote more like a Jiao Baozi who was beaten by the Yellow Turban Army, and Tao Qian is a fierce man who has carried a knife and cut people since he was a child.
Tao Qian is a native of Danyang, that is, the Danyang who has been said before, there are many people who can fight in Danyang, but Tao Qian is particularly able to fight, since he was a child, he has taken a group of younger brothers to run rampant in the township, maybe the Han Dynasty is particularly favored by this kind of naughty and mischievous children since childhood, maybe Tao Qian's brain is really easy to use, he was first admitted to Taixue, took a diploma and went home, and then was promoted to Maocai, and since then he has entered the official career, successively served as Shu County Order, Lu County Order, Youzhou Thorn History, and followed Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen cut the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Army, and the reason why he was able to lead troops to cut people, Relying on the thousands of Danyang soldiers recruited from their hometowns.
After the resurgence of the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, Tao Qian took these thousands of Danyang soldiers to Xuzhou, and immediately told the Xuzhou Yellow Turban what it means to fight with a bloody victory.
