Chapter 181: Summoned to the South

Dong Zhuo was stunned, knowing that Li Ru must have a good plan, so he said with a smile: "Three years ago, my ambition was to pacify the Quartet for the Han Dynasty, shepherd the frontier, follow the example of Wei, Huo, and Ma Yuan, and establish great martial arts. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info now, I just want to dominate the court and let my Xiliang warriors dominate the Han world. ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "If you just dominate the court and dominate the world, this matter is easy." ”

Dong Zhuo and Liang Rou were startled at the same time, and asked anxiously, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Judging from the secret letter, He Sui has an army of tens of thousands, but he is indecisive, and in the face of a group of eunuchs, he can't take them down and kill them one by one. Although it is said that the queen mother obstructed her, for the sake of the power of the court, why not be afraid of a woman? ”

Liang Rou snorted dissatisfiedly, and Li Ru smiled apologetically: "Wen You just said that Empress Dowager He is not involved in anything else." ”

Liang Rou said: "Say a good plan quickly." ”

Li Ru saluted, and then continued: "Originally, there were only two parties competing in Luoyang City, but He Jin threw a mouse trap and didn't dare to make a move. The ten permanent servants want to trap the beast and fight, but they have no military power in their hands, and they are helpless. So at this time, a third-party force Yuan Benchu appeared. Although Yuan Benchu was ambitious, due to his position, he did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he could only use the soldiers of the Ming Duke to force He Suigao to act. Ming Gong wants to become a fourth-party force and do the things of the yellow sparrow, and only by fishing in troubled waters can he finally succeed. ”

The two asked, "How do you fish in troubled waters?" ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Although Taifu has an order today, there is a lot of darkness in the middle. Why don't you send someone to the table, the side of the Qing monarch, the name is right, and then so, then the big thing can be done. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and shouted: "I have excellent literature, and everything is worry-free." ”

Even after Liang Rou heard this, a lot of gleam flashed in her beautiful eyes. Looking in the direction of Luoyang City in a blink of an eye, there was a fierce burst of light in his beautiful eyes, which made people shudder.

At the end of July of the sixth year of Zhongping, Xihe County, Shangjun and Dingxiang had returned to their former stability after a year of recuperation. The 20,000 citizens of Yeping County also became the people of these three counties at this time. Each of their households was given a share of the Southern Huns, and they had a large amount of land and livestock.

Han Yi also specifically allowed them to keep all kinds of weapons and weapons to suppress disobedience. Military operations with less than 100 personnel do not need to be reported to the divisions, but only need to be informed afterwards. It is basically impossible for the southern Huns in the three counties to repeat.

Under the vigorous cultivation of these 20,000 people, the three counties have obtained a great harvest and obtained millions of stone of grain. This year, Han Yi did not take a share of it, and only collected 200,000 stone as taxes, and the rest belonged to Hermes-Epitek. Coupled with the landing of new livestock, these 20,000 people have completely taken root in Xihe.

Han Yi looked at the records on the accounts, nodded again and again, and smiled at Ai Ke who was standing on the side: "Yes, yes, in just ten months, you sold cattle, sheep, horses, and leather goods of the Southern Huns to Sili, Jizhou and other places, and made hundreds of millions of profits." I also bought a lot of necessities for life and sold them cheaply to the Southern Huns, so that the Southern Huns were pleased, no longer hated the Han people, and were happy to be used by me, you did a really good job. It seems that you can compare yourself with Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang. Well, the business of business is several times better than that of farming, planting, and animal husbandry, and it seems that there will be no need to specifically squeeze the people in the future. ”

Aike bowed humbly: "Yes, farmer, the foundation of all industries." If the people are safe, business will flourish. If Xihe County is like other counties, the people will be restless, and they will not be shocked by the grand prestige of the lord. No matter how talented he is, he can only do some speculation for a short time. Now with the support of the lord and the stable Sai Ha, Ke Dare guarantees that within five years, the prosperity of the Sai Ha will be inferior to that of Hanoi, and the commercial profits will be better than Hanoi's tax revenue for a year. ”

Hanoi is the most prosperous county in Sili Prefecture except Henan, with a population of 800,000 people, and it is also an upper county in the whole country. A year's tax can pay one billion dollars to the court, and even the county itself will have about one billion dollars. It's a good place for everyone to find a job. If Echo really turned the West River into a Hanoi model, it would be unimaginable.

Han Yixi said: "Okay, if you really turn the West River into a Hanoi, I will strongly recommend you as the Maocai of this state, and recommend you to Ruoyang City as a high-ranking official of more than 2,000 stones." ”

Aike shook his head and smiled: "The princes of Luoyang are all gentlemen, and they are not used to seeing businessmen like Ke. Ke Ruo was still in Luoyang at this time, at best, he was just a business manager in a nobleman's private house. Only by acting under the command of the lord can Ke show his strength and lead the important affairs of a county. Ke thought about it, and he only wanted to serve under the lord's command, and he didn't want him to go. ”

Han Yi sighed and responded: "Okay, in the future, you can take one of the net profits every year to become a profit, which can be regarded as a reward for your efforts." How about I take one of them and count the others as public property? ”

Aike bowed again and said: "If Ke is greedy, he only needs to operate his own private property, so how can he be a good fortune." I only wish that in this life I can follow the side of the lord and see him one day when I am equal to the merchant and the scholar. ”

After hearing this, Han Yi was in awe, stood up and bowed: "Ziheng's ambition, when Yi has the ability in the future, he will do it for Ziheng." ”

Without waiting for Aike to reply, the magistrate of Xihe County, Slepeng, hurriedly rushed over and shouted: "My lord, there is a secret envoy from the court to ......."

Han Yi was sitting in the Lishi County Ya, on the left were Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Che La and other leading generals, and on the right were Chang Shi Lepeng, Gong Cao Xu Miao, the main Bo Lexiang, Cangcao Aike, Hu Cao Shanyao, Bing Cao Han Hao, Fa Cao Wei Chong, Shi Cao Lucui, Zhu Ji Yang Yuan and other scribes.

Han Yi said: "I received a secret call today, and Empress Dowager He said that the general wanted to kill the eunuchs, which seems to have the intention of not being subordinate. So he ordered the general to lead the Hu soldiers into Beijing to escort the car and deter General He. I wonder what you think? ”

Wen Chou, Gao Ran and other generals shouted: "Empress Dowager He and General Che Cai have an order, let's lead the army into Beijing, why worry." ”

"No, no." Le Peng hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager He, the general, and the general are all brothers and sisters, and they belong to relatives, and they are different from me as outsiders. If there is a doubt today, it may not be tomorrow. The lord intervened at will, for fear that the Empress Dowager He would turn her face and blame her in the future. ”

After everyone heard this, everyone said yes, Xu Miao said: "Having said that, but the order of the Empress Dowager He and the general of the chariot cavalry cannot be refused, in case the general really has the intention of not being subordinate, and there is really chaos in Luoyang City, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it." ”

After everyone heard this, they also said yes again and again, and Le Peng hesitated: "That can only be to lead the army south to the division while playing to ask for details." ”

The major events of the court are too far away from the people of Xihe, most of them are either martial artists, or Han scholars who are mixed at the bottom, everyone does not know the details, and they dare not express their stance at will, so they can only persuade Han Yi to play more and march slowly.

Han Yi asked again: "How many troops will be sent on this trip?" ”

After everyone deliberated, they said: "Don't be too much, too much fear of the court and the lord." It should not be too little, otherwise it will be useless to go to Luoyang. Preferably around 10,000 people. ”

In the end, Han Yi led 5,000 Hu cavalry with five generals Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Che La, Cheng Qi and Yu Hua, and 5,000 Changshan troops led by Che Jing, Zhou Ge, Yin Li, Chu Hu and Deng Dang, a total of 10,000 people went to Luoyang. He also ordered Jiao Rong, Zhang Nan, Zhong Jin, Zhong Shen, Yang Ke, Wen Ji, Zhao Zhichang, Zhang Fen, and Zhang Sheng, a member of the Yin Pavilion, to accompany him.

At the end of July, 10,000 troops gathered under Shicheng within three days, Han Yi and Gao Lan, Cheng Qi, and Yu Hua led 3,000 troops first, and ordered Wen Chou, Che La, Che Jing and other generals to lead the troops, and ordered Yang Li to go to Luoluo City to inquire about the news.

Before leaving, Han Yi went to appease the two daughters Ma Xueer and Anova, who were about to give birth, and felt quite uneasy. The last time the troops were sent was when Gongsun Ying was in the field, and this time it was like this. But this time they were in Xihe, and Wen Po was invited to wait at the house early. There are Wang Yang, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Lu Weihuang, Han Luzi, Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, Ke Suo'er and other generals in Xihe, and there must be no problem.

Early in the morning of the second day, Han Yi led the army south. Han Yi's army was all cavalry, although they were foot soldiers, they also rode horses, and they marched quite fast, and they arrived in Yang County, Hedong in a few days. Han Yi received the secret envoy again, this time it was Su Gu who came in person, Han Yi asked in surprise, "The matter of Luoyang is so urgent?" ”

Su Gu wiped a cold sweat and said, "No, General He killed Jian Shuo and the hussar general Dong Chong, swallowed all the soldiers and horses of their two divisions, and held an army of tens of thousands. The situation of all parties in Luoyang that Emperor Xiaoling had worked so hard to maintain had been broken, and General He was powerful at this time, and if he was not careful, there was a possibility that the sky would fall. ”

Han Yi asked, "What do you mean by Empress Dowager He and General Che Cai?" ”

Su Gu said: "The general of the Che Cavalry heard that you are related to Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, and wants to order you to monitor the Ding Yuan Department that burned down Mengjin Port near Hanoi, so as not to ask him to do anything drastic." ”

Han Yi was stunned, it turned out that He Miao was suspicious that he would advance and retreat with Ding Yuan. Although he and Ding Yuan belong to Weng's son-in-law, their relationship is not deep. And Ma Xueer and him belong to the relationship between father and daughter, not biological. Since Ma Xue'er arrived in Xihe, she has not spoken half of Ding Yuan in front of Han Yi for almost a year. I can imagine that there must be a story between them that they don't know.

Since He Miao was suspicious, Han Yi couldn't be forced, so he could only say: "Please also ask the Empress Dowager He and the general of the Che Cavalry to rest assured, with me in Hanoi County, I will not let Ding Yuan do the slightest misdeeds." ”

A few days later, Han Yi led his troops to the port of Mengjin in Hanoi, only to see that the ports on the north and south banks were all destroyed, leaving only a place of wolf. The 30,000 troops of Bingzhou under the command of Ding Yuan were stationed on the north bank of the river, and more than 1,000 troops were stationed on the south bank, as if to block the communication between the north and the south.

After Han Yi saw it, he did not talk to Mu Shun, the personal general sent by Ding Yuan, and went directly to the original port, in a zigzag shape along the river. It wasn't until the serpentine-like Dazhai was erected that Ding Yuan couldn't wait and came to see Han Yi in person.

Ding Yuan shouted: "Why did Mingyuan go down to the village like this? ”

Han Yi shouted: "I have been summoned by the Empress Dowager He to stop Lord Yuezhang from acting recklessly. ”

Ding Yuan laughed and said, "Mingyuan is so down, won't he hand over all the flaws to me." If I stop him from the middle, how can Mingyuan stop me. ”

Han Yi also smiled and said: "Empress Dowager He has an order, Han Yi doesn't dare to disobey." But Han Yi didn't dare to be disrespectful to Lord Yue, so he exposed his flaws to show that this move was a last resort. ”
