It is said that Huang Gai took Guiyang County lightly, and Zhao Fan's family, Chen Ying, Bao Long, etc. were all sent to Lingling. Huang Zhong occupied Youxian and stood still for the time being, Chen Long intended to let Huang Zhong continue to pretend to obey Han Xuan first, and if there was any movement, it would just be used as an internal response. When he officially fell out with Jingzhou in the future, it was not too late for Huang Zhong to surrender again.
After receiving the news of taking Guiyang County, Chen Long convened a meeting of everyone, but what he studied was how to make plans in Yongliang Prefecture. Zhou Budo drew the geography of Yongliang into drawings and displayed them in front of the generals, saying that Yongliang has inconvenient transportation, is difficult to walk, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Xi Zhicai also said: "I am familiar with the geography of Yongliang. After that, he pointed to the map and said: "The imperial court military horses are bound to be able to send troops to Yongliang only after they are assembled in Chang'an, and there are almost no other more convenient exits." Therefore, after the army leaves Chang'an, the division of troops can be considered. β
"Starting from Chang'an, the first big county in the northwest is Anding, and the first big county in the west is Tianshui. Anding is the place where the rebels of Bian Zhang and Han Sui are entrenched, and often harass the suburbs of Chang'an; Tianshui is the place where the Boyuqiang tribe of Beigong lived, and the rebels of Song Yang and Li Wenhou were entrenched here. The rebels in the two places echo each other, and if they want to be wiped out, they can only divide their forces and rule them. I look at Dong Zhuo's army, since it is to divide Xiliang, I am afraid that it will avoid the place blocked by the rebels, insert the gap between Tianshui and the rebels in the middle, pass through Jincheng County, and reach Guzang, the seat of Wuwei County, Liangzhou. After occupying Guzang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang and other counties can go down in one go. β
"Therefore, if the lord wants to pacify Xiliang, after sending troops from Chang'an, I am afraid that he will have to deal with the main soldiers and horses of the three roads at the same time. The first is the stable Bian Zhang and Han Suijun, the first is the Qiang soldiers and rebels of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and the third is Dong Zhuo, who seized Liangzhou. I'm afraid we need to scout the military strength of each department before we can determine how to divide the troops to fight. β
Chen Long nodded and said: "The words of the two military advisors are meticulous and analytical, and they are all good strategies to pacify Xiliang. However, my purpose of passing through the West Liang is not here. Bonghyo, you talk about it. β
Guo Jiajun said with a slight smile on his face: "As long as you arrive in Chang'an, you will have heavy troops, suppress Xiliang, and defend the capital, which is the goal." Why rush to provoke the rebels and Dong Zhuo? β
Chen Long smiled and said, "Feng Xiao knows my heart. Although a war with the warlords of Xiliang is inevitable, it is a matter of the future. But this time, Bong Hyo was only half right. My purpose is, first, to greet the military advisor Xun Youxun Gongda in Chang'an, and second, to block Dong Zhuo's passage into Beijing in Chang'an. β
Guo Jia was slightly stunned and said: "The lord is saying that Dong Zhuo actually has ambitions for Luoyang?" β
Everyone present shook their heads in disbelief, only Chen Long knew that this was something that would inevitably happen in the official history. If he can control the military power of Chang'an, I am afraid it will not be Dong Zhuo's turn to enter Beijing.
Chen Long ordered Zhou Budo to put away the Yongliang map, asked Zhang Ning to increase the frequency of exchanging information with Chang'an Zhong Xuan, and changed the topic: "Guiyang is established, and it still needs civil officials to sit in town, govern the prefectures and counties, and replace the public over. Now that Zhao Fan and the others are about to arrive in Lingling, let's talk about it, maybe let Zhao Fan continue to serve as the Taishou of Guiyang? β
For a while, there are people who say yes and some who can't, and there are different opinions, all of which are reasonable. Gong Cao Dong and Dong Youzai said: "Lord, if you can let Zhao Fan continue to be the county guard of Guiyang, it is showing the lord's generous and benevolent heart, and the county guards of the world will know that the lord treats the generals well." β
Jiang Wan got up and said, "The lord can't." If the deceased is left in charge, the popularity of the people will be lost. In a word, Chen Long's heart moved slightly, and he had already made up his mind.
Striving for domination of the world is for the well-being of the people, and the original intention must not be forgotten. Zhao Fan and his official reputation are not good, and he can't ignore the well-being of the people of Guiyang County in order to win over Zhao Fan. He said: "Appoint Deng Xuanzhi as the Taishou of Guiyang, and Ma Kang and Ma Zhong are often auxiliary to govern Guiyang and appease the people." Deng Xuanzhi and Ma Zhong often stood up and obeyed.
Chen Long said again: "Guiyang is already the rear of my Lingling, and the Third Army is all surrendered troops, so there is just a lack of training places. Order all the officers and men of the Third Army to immediately go to Gyeyang County to replace the First Army. Commander Huang Zhong was temporarily unable to take office, and Han Zhong and Sun Zhong assisted in the training of Xi Zhicai's military division. Xi Zhicai hurriedly stood up and obeyed, Zhang Ning nodded reluctantly, and muttered in his mouth that he transferred the two of me again.
Chen Long won two big battles in a row, and his troops swelled, but there was no suitable general to lead him, and the military generals were once again overstretched. When he was sighing in his heart, Zhou Cang heard a loud report and brought a messenger into the hall.
The messenger was short, thin and black-faced, and looked like a South Vietnamese. Chen Long's heart moved, only to see the messenger arch his hand and said: "The villain is the messenger of Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, because Taishou received a letter from Chen Tingshi, he admired me very much, and sent me here first, handing over a detailed map of Jiaozhou and a table of years." β
Chen Long was overjoyed, he didn't expect Shi Xie to be so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so he took the map and the year entry table and said, "You go back and bring my greetings to General Shi Xie." As long as he can govern Jiaozhou well and give me a stable rear, my Baoshixie family can always control Jiaozhou. β
The messenger hurriedly knelt down and thanked him and said, "The villain thanked Lord Shixie for the assassination. However, Lord Assassin Shi didn't know, I was just the front station of General Shi Xie, and General Shi Xie had personally led hundreds of his own soldiers, and then went to Lingling to report to the Assassin History. β
Chen Long didn't expect Shi Xie to be so sincere, and said with great joy: "General Shi Xie is so attentive, I should personally go to welcome him into the city." Saying that, he ordered someone to reward the messenger, let him lead the way, and rode the flying dragon to wait outside the southern city gate, and all the generals were all draped and followed behind Chen Long.
A group of figures appeared in the distance on the horizon, and the messenger went to greet him first, and Shi Xie said, Chen Tingshi personally went to meet him outside the city gate. Shi Xie's own soldiers were all waiting in place, and they galloped towards Chen Long's team on horseback alone.
Chen Long had already found out in his light brain that Shixie's character Weiyan was born in Guangxin, Jiaozhou. Its ancestors were from Wenyang, Lu State, and moved to Jiaozhou to escape the turmoil in the last years of Xinmang. When Shixie was young, he studied "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" with Liu Tao, a native of Yingchuan, and was later promoted to filial piety, reappointed Shang Shulang, and was dismissed from office due to official business. After the death of his father Shi Ci, Shi Xie was promoted to Maocai and served as the commander of Wu County. Later, Shixie nominally became a Jiaozhi Taishou loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in fact became a warlord who seized the counties of Lingnan. Most of the relatives of the Shi clan held important positions in Jiaozhou, and his younger brother Shi Yi served as Hepu Taishou, the second brother Xu Wen County Ling Shi Tong concurrently served as Jiuzhen Taishou, and the third brother Shiwu served as Nanhai Taishou. The Shi family can be described as the absolute overlord of Jiaozhou.
And Shi Xie himself, who has a generous personality, a modest corporal, is well-educated, and is well versed in politics, and is a rare talent. Chen Long saw that the person who came was very tall, and he also looked like a person from the Central Plains, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little vicissitudes, a Confucian costume, beautiful hair fluttering, and was busy dismounting with the generals to greet him. The man galloped closer, turned over and dismounted, knelt down, and said: "My subordinate Jiaozhi is too shou Shixie, and I have seen Lord Thorn Shi." β
Chen Long helped him up and said, "General Shixie's coming here is really beyond my expectations. However, it can be seen that Wei Yan is sincere, and since then he has been fighting for the world with his brother and working for the benefit of the people. β
Shi Xie couldn't afford it, and kowtowed deeply and said: "It's Shi Xie who is late, and only after receiving a sincere letter from the Lord will I dare to come." When I heard about the new policy of Lingling, the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people were widely collected and taxes were collected, which was the good governance of Kuang Fu and the real reason why I decided to follow the lord. Jiaozhou has a total of about 40,000 troops, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many mineral veins, and they are willing to always be the backing of Lingling. β
Chen Long saw that what Shi Xie said was sincere, and said with great joy: "It is rare for General Shi to have such a mind, and Chen Long is very lucky. General Shixie, please bow down to me. After saying that, he bowed and bowed, but Shi Xie hurriedly kowtowed and didn't dare to accept it. Chen Long continued: "General Shixie, please go to the city to rest, after I talk to you in detail for a few days, General Shixie can return to Jiaozhi with peace of mind and continue to be your Taishou." β
Shi Xie stood up and turned around, nodded and called a few generals, and introduced them one by one: "Lord Assassin Shi, these two are Xiao'er Shihui and Shiwu, and they both have some martial arts. The other four people are my protΓ©gΓ©s, namely Xu Jing, Huan Ye, Yuan Hui, and Mu Zi, all of whom are resourceful. β
Chen Long saw them one by one, and Shi Xie bowed down again, and said loudly: "Wu Shi Xie, come with a child and swear allegiance to Lord Shi." There is a vacancy for officials in the prefecture today, and the assassin is also asked to send officials to accept it. There were no complaints from his subordinates. β
Chen Long was moved in his heart, and Fang Zhishixie was loyal. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let Shihui stay, it just so happens that the Third Army of Guiyang lacks an infantry division commander, so let Shihui take the role, and in the future, he will assist Commander Huang and assist Xi Zhicai's military division to train elite soldiers." Xu Jing and others, I will only use it later. Shiwu, you bring it back, I still have something to ask General Shixie to complete it for me in Jiaozhou. β
Shi Xie only then went to the end and promised Chen Long to continue to cross his toes. Hearing that Chen Long said that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked, "Please command, lord!" β
Long Chen took Shi Xie's hand and said something, with this speech, there is a teaching, it is the dragon entering the sea for the march, and the sea overlord is beginning to take shape.
Let's listen to the next breakdown.
