Chapter 215: The Beginning of the Melee

After three years of service in Runan County and four autumn harvests, the people of Runan County have almost recognized Han Yi as the county keeper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info although there is the attack of Yuan Shujun, and the rebellion of the county soldiers, but in general, since Han Yi was appointed as the Taishou of Runan, the life of the people of Runan is basically stable, and the tax rate and the oppression of officials have been greatly reduced.

Han Yi vigorously cracked down on the oppression of the people by corrupt officials and scholars in the county, and vigorously developed agriculture and commerce, so that the people's lives were greatly improved. Compared with the soldiers and horses of other counties, corpses and bones are everywhere, and thieves and evil tyrants rule the countryside together. Between hundreds of miles, without hearing the rooster's crow, Runan County can be regarded as a paradise on earth.

Han Yisi and the Shilord and the scholars had no intention of helping each other, so they deliberately imitated the style of Yingchuan people in running schools and set up free county schools in each county. Select outstanding poor students from each township pavilion to enroll in further studies, and hire famous teachers from Hanshi to teach. And there is a county school in Pingyu City, as long as you finish from the county school, you can get a good position under Han Yi.

This surprised countless scholars in Runan County, and there were many people who recommended themselves to enter the school. It's just that the admission requirements for county schools are not low, and if you don't have a little bit of literary talent, you can't enter the county school.

Han Yi also set up orphan camps in each county because he was also adopted, specifically recruiting orphans and abandoned children who have no relatives to support, which will be the majority of military attachΓ© candidates in Han Yi's future army. However, not all orphans in the orphanage camp were also children, as well as children of serving officials such as Gundam and Lu Meng, who also practiced and studied in them. They will be completely discharged from the army after the age of eighteen.

The two counties of Yingchuan and Chen gradually settled down, and the Yingchuan Shihao also moved back to Yingchuan from Runan. It's just that their attitude is quite warm, seeing that Han Yi also has the ability to govern, not Dong Zhuo's tyrannical and contemptuous revolution, although it is not very good, but it can be regarded as a good official. Even in the prosperous era, Han Yi's ability to govern can be regarded as a middle-class choice.

Moreover, as a monarch, knowing how to use talents is the strongest ability, and managing oneself is the next choice. So he also had a heart of retribution for Han Yi, and wanted to see what Han Yi's future would be. It's just that the unique reserve of literati makes them unable to let go of their bodies, and I hope that Han Yi can conquer them again. It's just that Han Yi is dispatching troops and horses at this time, preparing to attack Yuan Shu, and he has no time to pay attention to them for the time being.

"Yingchuan Taishou Xie Zhen came to report that there were 60 stone of grain stored in the warehouse of Yingchuan County, and 130 million yuan. Chen Guotai guarded Han Fu to report that Chen Guoguo's warehouse contained millions of stones of grain and 400 million yuan. In addition, there are 4.1 million stone of grain stored in Runan County, and the money is 1.3 billion. With this money and food, it is enough to meet the expenses of our army's 100,000 troops for three or four years. Lord, the opportunity to seize the world is at this time. ”

Han Yi looked at the eager generals and scribes in front of him, and after more than a year of secretly running around, except for a small half of the people who cared about the Han family, they did not join this conference, and most of them were bent on helping Han Yi seize the world.

This made Han Yi feel a lot of emotion, as long as people formed an independent force. For the sake of their own interests, the people in the power will surely push the lord of the power to rush in the direction of the throne. Whoever disagrees with this strategy, the lord of this power must follow the goals of those under his command. Otherwise, there will be the bad consequences of people being scattered and difficult to control. Even if they are loyal and righteous, they will gradually lose their fighting spirit and become mediocre.

Han Yi sighed secretly, cleaned up his mood, and said in a deep voice: "In this expedition against Yuan Shu, the troops of Shangjun, Xihe, Dingxiang, Hedong, Hanoi, Henan, and Yingchuan cannot be used. Zhou Ge and Deng Dang commanded 10,000 troops, with Zhou Ge as the main general, attacked Liang State, and attacked Yuan Shu's army. The two generals Che Jing and Han Dang commanded 10,000 troops, with Che Jing as the main general, attacked Peiguo and attacked the waist of Yuan Shujun. ”

"I led a total of 30,000 generals including Cheng Qi, Che La, Yu Hua, Tai Shici, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai to directly attack the head of Yuan Shu's army. Xue Lan and Wang Dang were responsible for the grain and grass, and the first army of Tian Brown was temporarily transferred to the Chen State garrison. He also ordered Henan's Gaolan and Li Feng Divisions, as well as Hedong and Hanoi to be wary of a possible large-scale invasion by Yuan Shaojun. Although Yuan Shu is a often defeated army, it has a large number of people, and it is rumored that there are still 150,000 people. Our army is to have fewer enemies and more, and we must not be careless, we need to be careful of the dog jumping over the wall, as well as the reaction of Tao Qian in Xuzhou. ”

Yang Li said: "My lord, after the defeat of Yuan Shu's army, Cao Cao of Yanzhou called himself Yanzhou Mu, and he had a lot of soldiers and horses under his command. Although he is Yuan Shao's subordinate, he should also have his own thoughts at this time. The lord is friendly with him, why not ask him to attack Xuzhou and drag Tao Qian. ”

In the past three years, Yang Li has arranged a lot of light and dark details for Han Yi in Sili, Yu, Yan, Xu, and Yang, so that Han Yi can have a steady stream of intelligence information. Now that Han Yi is about to start conquering the world, Yang Li is specially recalled to analyze intelligence and participate in the military for Han Yi.

Han Yi shook his head and said, "You only know the troops under Cao Mengde's command, but you don't know what his ambitions are. I know that Meng De has great ambitions, and I heard that Xu Zijiang was rated as 'a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor in troubled times.' In the early years, he was mixed under Yuan Shao, and his talent was not obvious. Now that he has the foundation of a state, 300,000 male soldiers, and is in troubled times, he will not be willing to obey Yuan Shao's orders. The difference between him and Yuan Shao is right in front of him. ”

"Now that Yanzhou has been decided, Meng De's goal can only be selected from me, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian and Tian Kai of Qingzhou. However, the destruction of the land of Qingzhou will not be his next target, and Yuan Shao and I are not weak, and we are not people who can be determined in a war. is not his choice, then only the old Xuzhou Tao Qian is Meng De's next goal. So no matter whether I ask him to attack Xuzhou or not, Meng De will definitely attack Xuzhou. Rather than owe him a favor, it's better to tacitly do it. ”

Yang Li thought about it carefully and said, "In this way, after Yuan Shu perished, Cao Cao should be the next opponent of the lord. ”

Han Yi pondered his past interaction with Cao Cao, and said for a long time: "That's not necessarily, if Brother Bo Jue can't stop Yuan Shao and give Yuan Shao enough time to develop, Meng De and I will definitely give Yuan Shao a chance to swallow it in one go." Therefore, as long as Meng De is wise, he will join forces with me to defeat Yuan Shao before he will turn against me. ”

Yang Li frowned after hearing this, and said: "The news from Yanzhou said that Cao Cao has recently summoned virtuous people everywhere, and there have been many wise men who are like-minded, including Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhong, Zao Yi, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Mao Jue, and Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Qiu Rui, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Dian Wei, etc., which can be said to have both civil and military talents. ”

"The lord subconsciously thinks that Cao Cao is a great enemy, but I don't know how Cao Cao will look at the lord? If Cao Cao thought that the lord was an obstacle to his seizure of the world, maybe he would have attacked the lord by storm. The lord also needs to be careful. ”

Han Yi nodded, Yang Li's words were old words, and the old incident of being blocked by Yuan Shu was still vivid, but this kind of thing couldn't happen again. Recently, I heard that Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang had invaded Chang'an, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were afraid that they would not bother to pay attention to the affairs of the Kanto. So he secretly ordered more than 20,000 troops such as Wen Chou and Gao Ran to move to Xingyang, and left Che La to preside over the defense of the three counties to prevent a possible sudden attack by Cao Cao.

On September 17 of the third year of Chuping, after half a month of preparation, Han Yi finally issued a document and sent troops to attack Yuan Shu. The text is not Huazao, and only counts Yuan Shu's crimes in plain words. It mainly refers to the cruelty of the people under Yuan Shu's cruel rule, plundering the merchants to make a real bag. Forced soldiers, but harsh treatment of soldiers. He is extremely poor and luxurious, but the soldiers and civilians under his rule are in dire straits. As for the killing of King Chen, King Liang and Yangzhou Assassin Chen Wen and other county guards, as well as Yin Xiu, the envoy of the court, Han Yi only mentioned it briefly at the end.

Since Han Yi is incapable of competing with Yuan Shu for the hearts of scholars, he will compete with him for the hearts of the people. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang back then, and later Lulin and Red Eyebrows could not make good use of the hearts of the people. Han Yi wanted to give it a try at this time to see if this people's heart was really useless.

As soon as Han Yi's text came out, Yuan Shu, who had just returned from a big defeat, was shocked and panicked when he was in Jiujiang ready to rest. Speaking of which, Yuan Shu has never officially fought against Han Yi, but several battles between Han Yi and Dong Zhuo Xiliangjun were close to Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu knew the strength of Han Yi's army. This time, when I heard that Han Yi had raised a three-way army and commanded 55,000 troops to attack, he suddenly felt like a dead heart, so he wanted to abandon Shouchun City and go to Yinling.

Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling and other generals stopped urgently: "Lord, Han Yi'er is just a mere son-in-law, although he has the land of Yuzhou, he is just a clown who jumps off the beam." The lord has always been polite to him, and now he dares to lead an army to attack the lord, which is really too deceitful. I will ask the Lord to draw out 30,000 or 50,000 horses from us, and we will take his head and return to the Lord. ”

Yuan Shu regained his courage slightly, and was about to order the three generals to lead troops to resist. Strategist Yang Hong hurriedly stopped: "The lord can't, the courage of the generals is strong, but their abilities are at most similar to them, our army has just been newly defeated, and the morale is greatly depressed, I am afraid it will be difficult to break the enemy, and we need to seek support from the outside." ”

Yuan Shu happily asked, "Oh, who can I find to help?" ”

Yang Hong said: "The new Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao. ”

"Cao Mengde?" Yuan Shu asked puzzledly: "We have fought several battles with him, and he is willing to come to help me?" ”

Yang Hong said with a smile: "Yes, although Cao Cao fought several battles with the lord, most of them were ordered by Yuan Shao. However, now that he has newly acquired the land of Yanzhou, he has even more than hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans, and anyone will give birth to him. Moreover, the chaos in Yanzhou is extinguished, and it is a time when the eyes are full of desolation and there is a lack of money and food. Although the autumn harvest has passed, it is at best just enough to meet the food of the Yanzhou people. Even if there is surplus food, it will go into the hands of Yanzhou Shihao. Cao Cao has a lot of help from Yanzhou Shihao, how can he destroy his foundation because of it. But if there is no food to feed the millions of yellow scarves, how can Cao Cao be able to rule. ”

Yuan Shu asked hesitantly: "So Cao Mengde will definitely attack the other side to take the grain of the other side to raise the yellow scarf." It's just that I heard that Cao Mengde is kind to Han Yi'er, but I'm afraid that he won't attack Yuzhou, but will only attack Tao Qian's Xuzhou. ”

Yang Hong said with a smile: "No, no, according to the subordinates, he will definitely not attack Tao Qian first, but will attack Han Yi Xiaoer first." ”

Yuan Shu suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, why is this?" ”
