Cui Yanzi Ji Jue, a native of Qinghe, Jizhou, is a disciple of Mr. Kang Cheng along with Liu Shi and Gongsun Fang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Gongsun Fang followed Liu Shi last year, entrusted by Liu Shi, Gongsun Fang sent a letter to recruit Cui Yan to come to Nanyang, and Yuan Shao also sent a letter to recruit Cui Yan at that time. However, Cui Yan had a bad impression of Yuan Shao, and it was difficult to refuse, so it happened that Gongsun Fang's letter arrived, so Cui Yan went to Nanyang, and Liu Shi arranged a county for him to govern.

After Liu Shi announced his respective positions, he discussed how to defend the land of Yongzhou and conquer Li Xu, Guo Yan and other departments.

Fa Zheng preemptively said: "Xiaoguan, a dangerous pass in the north, used to belong to Liangzhou, and it was not among the three auxiliaries. Now this Xiaoguan is the frontier of Yongzhou, and it cannot be unguarded, and there is a place on the border between Anding and Hanyang, and the terrain is important, and it is impossible not to garrison troops. If these places can be defended, the land of the three auxiliaries can be safe. It can also block the Xiliang army from outside the country and prevent it from harassing Yongzhou again. It's just that most of Yongzhou New County is now sparsely populated, the Xiongnu and Qiang people are rampant, and the supply of grain and grass for the garrison is also difficult. ”

Liu Shi looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru stood up and said: "Now there are nearly 70,000 troops in Yongzhou, plus nearly 100,000 people in the land of Chang'an Sanfu, most of these people have no food to eat, and they all rely on the government to provide grain to get through the day, and the daily cost of grain and grass is amazing. The land of Chang'an has been planted with spring wheat this year, and it will take a few months for the corn to be harvested, and the grain and grass all rely on Nanyang and Han, and the consumption along the way is serious. It's just that after Hanzhong settled in Chang'an, the control of grain and grass became stricter, and it would be difficult to transport a large amount in the future. ”

Liu Shi had a calm face and asked, "How is Nanyang?" What was the reaction of Jingzhou? ”

Li Ru said slowly: "The grain in Nanyang depends on the savings accumulated in the second half of last year, and it can't withstand the long-term supply of Chang'an, so we have to think of another way." Therefore, I think it is not easy to migrate at present, at least until the new grain harvest in Yongzhou New County, so as not to increase the burden of food supply. Besides, where to immigrate is also a question, is it from Nanyang? There is no news from Jingzhou for the time being. ”

Shi Jian interjected: "It's not easy to think of another way, it is reported that since last year, there has been a severe drought in various parts of Dahan, locusts are raging, there are continuous military disasters, the people have fled, and the grain harvest is extremely poor. ”

Liu Shi pondered for a while, and seeing that Fa Zheng was about to speak, Liu Shi waved his hand and said: "The matter of immigration will not be done for the time being, and we will talk about it after Chang'an is stable and the new grain is harvested." Seeing this, Fa Zheng had to sit down again.

Zhao Yundao: "Li Qi and Guo Yan are stubbornly guarding the mountains and valleys at the other end of the forbidden ditch, our army is not strong enough, and it is difficult to break through for a while, and the supply of grain and grass is also a difficulty. It is better to guard the pass with only a small number of troops, and the rest of the fields will be tuned on the spot, and the water conservancy will be renovated to prepare for the next season's grain harvest. Then present it to the Son of Heaven, say that it is difficult, and after the new grain is harvested, it will not be too late to attack. Moreover, tens of thousands of troops such as Li Xun were concentrated in Hongnong, and its food supply was even more difficult than that of our army. ”

Liu Shi saw that everyone had a proposal, so Du Jia Xu sat aside, his eyes flashing, and he didn't say a word.

Liu Shi also ignored it, although Li Ru had a lot of respect for Jia Xu, and said that this person had wisdom and was very comparable. But Liu Shi had no impression of him, and he didn't care when he saw him like this.

He looked at everyone present and said: "At present, there are 20,000 troops stationed in the west of Sanguan and Chencang, of which 15,000 are temporarily used for tuntian. Huayin temporarily used 10,000 troops to garrison and contain it. put a certain amount of pressure on Li Xuan and Guo Yan, so that he could not take care of anything else. After the new grain is harvested, a counteroffensive will be carried out. ”

Liu Shi looked at him and said: "Judging from the defense of our department in the east of the river, Linjin Pass will temporarily leave a thousand traps in the camp to garrison, monitor the direction of Hetao, Bingzhou, and Hedong, and keep a thousand guards in Chang'an City, and all the other troops will be tuntian, and wait for the new grain harvest, and counterattack Li Xu, Guo Yan, and Zhang Jibu to relieve the worries of the Son of Heaven." I'll tell you about it. Despite this, the imperial grain cannot be cut off and the supply is maintained. ”

After thinking for a while, he said: "Sanfu, Anding, Xinping, Beidi and other places are also quite inappropriate to simply provide relief food, and those local celebrities, talents, and warriors should all be recruited into the state to avoid the flow of talents, and these people can be exempted from being thieves due to poverty, and they should not be starved to death, so as not to be criticized by future generations." ”

The emperor stayed in Anyi for a few months, and just arrived in Anyi and received supplies from Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi, although it was small, but it relieved the urgent need. But then it was broken, just when the son of heaven and the courtiers had nowhere to think, Liu Shi sent a messenger to send some food, cloth and other items, so that the courtiers and other Jedi survived, and saw that Chang'an was miserable, so he proposed to establish a new Yongzhou and appoint Liu Shi as the state pastor.

Liu Shi was also loyal to the court, and after hearing about the rebellion of the Son of Heaven, despite his own difficulties, he still provided it on a monthly basis to ensure that the Son of Heaven and the courtiers had no worries about their lives, and provided some gold and silver for the renovation of Luoyang.

After Liu Shi's seal was read, he originally hated Li Yu in his heart, and he wished to execute these people immediately, but the current food difficulties are also true, especially when Liu Shi just entered the land of Sanfu, all the food comes from Nanyang, and Nanyang is already extremely poor after the scourge of Yuan Shu, and he has to provide for himself, so he is a little reluctant to go, so he will give up, and let these people live a few more days according to Liu Shi's words.

Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai were originally white wave thieves, and they occupied Hedong because of the incompetence of the court.

The Son of Heaven was in trouble, Yang Feng had an old relationship with them, and secretly recruited them to come to the rescue.

Han Xian and others had no loyalty to the court, and after occupying Hedong, they did not govern Hedong, but used plundering to raise grain and grass, and had no savings. At this time, the rescue was meritorious, so he naturally asked the Son of Heaven for an official position, but the Son of Heaven was so poor, and he had to count on them, and they were all made officials.

These people have received court officials, and it is not good for them to rob in front of the Son of Heaven and ministers, and their lives are also tight, and it is common for them to go hungry.

The people under him can't control so much, and the local rich and powerful don't want to stick out their heads and wait for them to rob, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the court is powerless to control, so they can only continue to persuade.

Once, these people actually wanted to cross the river into Chang'an to plunder, but they were repelled by Gan Ning and suffered a big loss, so they stopped.

Han Xian saw that the Son of Heaven was stationed in Hedong, and after a long time, he also thought about it, but he was quite jealous of Dong Cheng of the Western Liang Army, and secretly designed to send troops to sneak attack, but was discovered by Dong Cheng and fled to Zhang Yang in Hanoi.

Zhang Yang knew Han Xian's thoughts, so he naturally didn't want Han Xian to accept it, so he entrusted Dong Cheng to go to Luoyang to renovate the palace for the Son of Heaven.

After the palace was repaired, Zhang Yang was proud in his heart, thinking that he had made a lot of credit, and he should leave something, and at the instigation of his subordinates, he named the palace built as 'Yang Andian'.

In July of the first year of Jian'an, the emperor received Dong Cheng's seal: Luoyang Palace has been renovated completely, and the Son of Heaven is invited to drive to Luoyang.

The emperor was overjoyed and drove into Luoyang, Han Xian wanted to leave the Son of Heaven in Anyi, but his friend Yang Feng did not support it, but persuaded Han Xian to be in a high position now and enjoy a good fortune, once the Han court was pacified, the descendants would be blessed.

Han Xian had no choice but to let go of his mind and led the army into Luoyang with the minister.

The Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang, seeing the devastation, the broken walls of the palace in the city were full of thorns, only three or five palaces suddenly appeared in the meantime, tears flowed, mixed feelings, led the ministers to worship God, amnesty the world, and paid homage to the Taimiao.

The daughter of the general Dong Cheng is a noble concubine, and the vassals are: Zhang Yang, the general of Bai Anguo, is the great Sima and the fake Jieyue, Han Xian is the general, and the commander is the lieutenant of the school, and the fake Jiecheng. Liu Shi is the Marquis of Lantian and the general of the hussars, and he leads the Yongzhou herd in the false festival, guards Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou, and guards the Beijing Division.

Hedong was included in Yongzhou, and grain, grass, and money were provided for the Jingshi, so that Li Xu, Guo Yan and other rebellious armies could be exterminated as soon as possible.

Yang Feng was the general of the chariot cavalry, and General Dong Chengfeng Wei led the captain of the city gate and Han Xian to guard the Beijing division together.

Dong Cheng was originally the nephew of the late Empress Dowager Dong, and the Son of Heaven originally trusted Dong Cheng very much, and at this time he recruited Dong Cheng's daughter as a concubine, which shows that although the Son of Heaven is young, after several years of hardship, his mind is becoming more and more mature.

Zhang Yang refused the post of Great Sima, and wrote: "The Son of Heaven has his own ministers in the court to assist, I am a foreign minister, and I should defend the Han Dynasty for the Son of Heaven, how can I stay in the court." "Return to Hanoi Wild King.

Yang Feng cooperated with Han Xian, Luoyang had no food and could not feed the army, Yang Feng led the army out of Liang County to garrison, and from the south Gong guarded the Beijing Division, while Han Xian guarded the Son of Heaven inside.

On this day, Liu Shi ushered in the first envoy sent by the Son of Heaven after entering Luoyang in Chang'an City, and Pei Mao held the festival and appointment letter given to Liu Shi by the Son of Heaven.

Liu Shi had already learned from the fast horse messenger sent by Huangfu Li that the situation of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, Pei Mao had just arrived in Chang'an, Liu Shi greeted him outside the city, held a grand ceremony to pay homage to the Son of Heaven and received the edict of the Son of Heaven, and invited Pei Mao to sit down.

Liu Shi said with a face full of fear: "Thank you for the trust of the Son of Heaven in Shi, and I dare not do my best to share the worries of the Son of Heaven by accepting this important position." It's just that Han Xian and Yang Feng colluded with each other, I'm afraid there will be luggage and Guo affairs! I also hope that the prince will mention it to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible and take precautions as soon as possible. As for the conquest and suppression of Li Xuan and Guo Yan, Shi has already made arrangements to conquer and suppress Chen Bing Hedong and defend the Beijing Division in the near future to ensure the security of the northern and western parts of the Beijing Division. ”
