Chapter 80: The Beginning of Troubled Times
As the situation in Qingzhou gradually stabilized, Yan Shao led 10,000 Qingzhou troops north to Jizhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the war in Jizhou has actually begun to stabilize, and as the weather turns colder, it is impossible for the Wuhuan people to stay in Jizhou for a long time, so they can only return to Youzhou. Jizhou also breathed a sigh of relief, although there are still a small number of Wuhuan people who can't stay, but it is no longer a big problem.
However, the people of Jizhou still welcomed the Qingzhou army, and Jia Cong even sent someone to invite Yan Shao to Yecheng.
As one of the largest cities in the world, the prosperity of Yecheng leaves a deep impression on people, and there have been Wuhuan rebels who have attacked Yecheng before, but they have broken their heads in front of Jiancheng, and even Cao Cao has defeated Yuan Shao after choosing this Yuan's nest as the capital, which can be considered prosperous here.
After Yan Shao and his entourage arrived in Yecheng, Jia Cong set up a banquet, during which Tai Shici, Sun Guan, Guan Hai and others left a deep impression on Jizhou civil and military, and also made the other party dare not underestimate the Qingzhou army. As for the Qingzhou Army under his command, they temporarily live in Yecheng, and Jizhou is responsible for grain and grass.
During this period, Yan Shao searched for capable people in Yecheng, but unfortunately found nothing.
It should be said that there are a lot of talents in Jizhou, Zhi Tianfeng, Fu Zhu, Trial, etc., Wu has Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Ju Yi, etc., the key is that ββββββ Yan Shao doesn't know where they are...
Fortunately, like Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, Xianming has already spread out, and it is not difficult to inquire, but generals like Zhao Yun and Yan Liang, if they don't have an exact coordinate, it is difficult to find, and there is only one Zhao Yun who knows more or less the place, is Changshan really determined...
As for Tian Feng and these people, most of them are local families in Jizhou, and it is impossible for them to go to Qingzhou to follow Yan Shao to develop, not to mention that no matter how famous he is now, he is just a small Beihai Taishouββββββ in fact, in addition to Zhao Yun, there is another person who knows the specific location, that is, Zhen Ji of Zhongshan Wuji.
The crux of the problem is that Zhen Ji is very likely to have not been born at this time, so what is the use of Yan Shao even if he goes to the door? It's better to miss Zhang Ning and Diao Chan who were left in Beihai in the mansion.
Of course, during this time in Yecheng, Yan Shaozhi was not completely idle.
The first is to take advantage of the Wuhuan people's return to Youzhou to the north and conduct some training on the Qingzhou army under their command, so that they are no longer the rabble of the past. The second is to expand the Dare to Pioneer Army, and to equip the brave warriors who have just been selected from the Wuhuan people with good horses and equipment, so that the strength of the Dare First Army has reached 1,000 for the first time.
Different from ordinary military horses, the Dare First Army has gone out many times and killed countless rebels, and almost every time they go out, they can bring back many Wuhuan or Yellow Turban heads, which also makes Jizhou know that there is such a strong army in the Qingzhou Army, and in countless battles, the Dare First Army has gradually been sharpened.
And with the increase in strength, the casualties of the Dare First Army have become less and less...
In addition, Yan Shao also ordered someone to select a batch of the best horses from the captured good horses, and then sent them back to Beihai.
The so-called teaching people to fish, it is better to teach people to fish, it is unrealistic to buy horses with others or count on how much capture, if you can, Yan Shao still hopes to be able to produce horses in Qingzhou by himself, even if the number is less, it is better than nothing.
Although Qingzhou is not as rich in good horses as Youzhou, it is not true that there is no way to raise horses, and they support both Tai Shici and Sun Guan for this decision.
In March of the fifth year of Zhongping, as the climate warmed, Youzhou Wuhuan went south again, and several counties were in an emergency.
In April of the fifth year of Zhongping, Yan Shao's general Tai Shici led the Qingzhou army of 5,000, and together with Sun Guan's department, he dared to go first, broke the Wuhuan rebels, beheaded more than 1,000 thieves, and the rest of the rebels fled for their lives.
In July of the fifth year of Zhongping, the Qingzhou Army under Yan Shao and the Jizhou Army fought a decisive battle with the Wuhuan rebels. Although the Qingzhou Army was strong, the situation was not very clear because the Jizhou Army was not very strong.
In August of the fifth year of Zhongping, Sun Guan, who seized the flaws of Wuhuan, led the army to dare to go first and burned grain and grass, which made the Wuhuan rebels fall into chaos.
It's just that at this time, the Wuhuan people's strength in Jizhou is still very strong, and the Qingzhou army is also complaining.
Perhaps the previous victory in Qicheng was too easy, so that before the pull, the Qingzhou army thought that the process of going north to Jizhou this time would not be very difficult, and it was even a long journey to make extra money. As a result, after arriving in Jizhou, just in time for winter, the Wuhuan people had already run back to Youzhou, and they had to stay in Jizhou for a long time.
This is nothing, after all, there is no need to do anything, and even the yellow scarf does not need to be suppressed to get a lot of food, which is a good thing for the sergeants of this era. The key is that after the Wuhuan people went south again, the war that they thought would end in a short time actually lasted for half a year, and their own casualties can also be described as rivers of blood.
At the time of the expedition, there were only more than 7,000 Qingzhou troops left, and even the strongest Dare First Army only had more than 800 people left. The bottom line is that until now, there is no hope of victory in this war. The strength of the Wuhuan people in Jizhou is still very strong, and on the whole, Jizhou is just a secondary battlefield, and the real main battlefield is Youzhou.
The inability to return to their hometowns for long periods of time has left many people suffering from homesickness and missing their loved ones at home.
And not long ago, news came from Youzhou that Gongsun Zhan, a famous general in Youzhou who was responsible for the crusade against Zhang Chun, fought with Zhang Chun in Shimen. Due to going too deep, he was actually besieged by Qiu Liju and others in Guanzi City in western Liaoning for more than 200 days, and finally collapsed because of the lack of food, and the situation in Youzhou also deteriorated sharply, which also made many people wonder how long it would take to end this rebellion led by the Wuhuan people.
To be honest, Gongsun Chan would actually lose, which was definitely beyond Yan Shao's expectations.
After all, in his memory, the white horse general Gongsun Chan is an out-and-out ruthless hand, even if he is finally defeated by Yuan Shao, he is still a difficult guyββββββ not to mention that considering that Gongsun Chan has no strategists, it is already very powerful to be able to stalemate with Yuan Shao for such a long time.
But now [General White Horse] was actually defeated in a little-known rebellion, this...
How much makes Yan Shao a little confused...
Fortunately, at this time, there were still many loyal ministers and famous generals in the court, and after noticing that something was wrong, they immediately transferred Liu Yu to Youzhou as the pastor of Youzhou.
The reason why he was sent here was because Liu Yu had served as a assassin in Youzhou, and he had a high prestige among foreign tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Fuyu, and he often paid tribute and did not dare to intrude, and the people often sang songs to praise Liu Yu's achievements, but later he was dismissed from his official position on official business, and the position of Youzhou Assassin was also changed.
I have to say that at this time, the Han family was not stupid enough to go home, and it was indeed a good move to send Liu Yu to Youzhou.
As soon as Liu Bo'an arrived, the Wuhuan people led the crowd to surrender, and offered a reward for the wanted Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun. The two fled to the outside of the Saiwai, and then were killed by his subordinate Wang Zheng, and the head was sent to Liu Yu.
Emperor Ling sent an envoy to promote Liu Yu to the rank of lieutenant and seal the Marquis of Qiu. At that time, the officials worshiped the three princes, and they had to pay a huge amount of gift money to the West Garden, and Liu Hong deliberately exempted Liu Yu from the gift money because Liu Yu had always had a reputation for honesty and honesty, and he had a meritorious role in quelling Zhang Chun's rebellion.
Now that the Wuhuan Rebellion has been lifted, there is no need for Yan Shao to continue to stay in Jizhou.
What's more, just like his soldiers and horses, he actually wanted to go back to Qingzhou for a long time.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that before his soldiers and horses returned to Qingzhou, a shocking news had been sent to him.
The Spirit Emperor has died...
