Chapter 434: Go North and Merge the State

In April of the third year of the first peace, after the defeat of Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao, he once again reorganized his troops to attack Yuan Shao, and started a big battle with Yuan Shao in Longcuo, but was defeated by Yuan Shao again, and even Bohai was lost, and had to retreat to Youzhou.

At the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which had been defeated by Gongsun Zhan, developed wildly again, gathering nearly a million people in less than half a year, ravaging Qingzhou, Xu, Yan, and Henan, and plundering everywhere, especially Yanzhou, which was close to Qingzhou, between Montenegro and the Yellow Turban, and was attacked by the Yellow Turban.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, wanted to lead the troops to fight with the Yellow Turbans, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, persuaded: The Yellow Turbans are millions, the people are terrified, and the soldiers are afraid, and they are invincible, but the Yellow Turbans lack baggage, and they should take the strategy of holding on to the Yellow Turbans, and then choose the elite to attack when the Yellow Turbans are scattered.

Liu Dai didn't obey and led the troops to fight, so he died.

Cao Cao's subordinate Chen Gong learned that Liu Dai was killed in battle, and immediately asked Cao Cao for his life, to persuade Yanzhou not to drive and govern the middle, to welcome Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, and to invest in Yanzhou to collect the world and do the business of the overlord.

Cao Cao Xu Zhi, Chen Gong first went to persuade Yanzhou to drive and govern Zhong, and then united with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and went to Dongjun with Wan Qian to meet Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou.

After Cao Cao served as the pastor of Yanzhou, he thought that the Yellow Turban Army was proud of the enemy after the victory, so he set up a strange soldier to meet the Yellow Turban in Shouzhang, but the Yellow Turban was too strong, Cao Cao lost, and the Bao Xin brothers were besieged by thieves and almost died, but they were rescued by their subordinates Dou Laosan and Chen Gexiao with a thousand elites, and escaped.

And Dou Laosan and Chen Gexiao were the two leaders of the group of soldiers that Zhang Liao captured from Bao Xin at the Tiger Prison Pass, just like Mu Han. Later, on the bank of Yishui, Mu Han was reluctant to rebel, and a thousand wounded soldiers including Dou Laosan and Chen Gexiao chose to return to Bao Xin's side and protect Zhang Liao with death to retreat.

They supported Zhang Liao so much, it was inevitable that Bao had a mustard in his confidence, and he did not reuse it after returning to Jibei, but he did not expect that in the battle of Yanzhou Shouzhang, other soldiers were defeated by the Yellow Turban, and it was Dou Laosan and Chen Gexiao who led the 1,000 soldiers to fight to protect Bao Xin.

In the onslaught of the Yellow Turban, which was dozens of times their own, they sang military songs, and died one by one, but did not take a step back, until the tragic battle frightened the Yellow Turban thieves, and there were only twenty remaining 1,000 soldiers, all of whom were seriously injured, Dou Laosan and Chen Gexiao died in battle.

The brothers Bao Xin and Bao Tao, who were also seriously injured, cried in the battle, and all that resounded in their ears was the military song sung by the 1,000 soldiers before they died:

A good man, dare to take responsibility, why not be afraid of life and death to go to the country.

Protect your father, leave your hometown, and be heroic and sharp.

Rather shed blood than tears, he will be a hero from now on.

Wearing iron armor, carrying a long knife, and taking care of the liver and gallbladder with the son.

The line is like a forest, the column is like a mountain, and the order is strict and shakes the sky.

It is as fast as the wind, invades like fire, and thousands of troops are invincible.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and gallops vertically and horizontally to break the enemy's courage.

Calm the trouble, step on Yanran, and whoever will commit it immediately with the horizontal knife.

The enemy was wiped out, the party was reunited, and the good news was reported with blood.

Dingshan River, guarding the community, but teaching the four seas to be healthy and safe.

Afterwards, Bao Xin and his brother said that their brother's two lives were saved by Zhang Wenyuan, and the soldiers Zhang Wenyuan led were different from other soldiers.

Subsequently, the more than 20 soldiers who survived were all reused in Bao Xin's army.

When the news of the death of Dou Laosan and others in the battle reached Hedong from the Shadow Letter, Zhang Liao, who was discussing with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other strategists, couldn't help crying, which shocked Xun Yu and Guo Jia and others, who didn't know the situation.

Then Zhang Liao took Mu Han and other Bao Xin's old ministers to the east to pay tribute, and listed them in the Martyrs' Shrine, when the memorial, Zhang Liao scolded Cao Cao and Bao Xin for being incompetent, and sighed to Mu Han and other Bao Xin's old ministers, Dao Dou Laosan, Chen Gexiao and other brothers saved their lives in the past, and there was no chance to repay it again.

Mu Han and the soldiers all cried, left and right.

……

In June, the wheat and apricot were ripe, and they shouted loudly, because the rain was abundant in the first half of the year, and Hedong County was another bumper year, the people were all happy, and Xun Yu and other officials were also in high spirits.

However, Zhang Liao was no longer in Hedong County, and he went north to enter Bingzhou.

In May, Xu Huang took Hanoi and occupied the central and western parts of Hanoi, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He had already broken through the Bai Bo base, captured 60,000 Bai Bo thieves, and more than 100,000 family members.

After Bai Bo captured, Zhang Liao ordered Changshi Xunyu and Cheng Wangyi of Hedong County to pacify the six counties north of Fenshui in Hedong County, push the administrative order, and Zhang He led the troops to continue to defend Hedong.

Then Cui Jun was the Taishou of Xihe, and ordered Dian Wei to order 20,000 soldiers and horses to enter Xihe County and quickly control the counties.

There are nine counties in the state, Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Shang County, Yunzhong County, Shuofang County, Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Jiuyuan County, Taiyuan County is located in the basin, and Xihe County is in the west of Taiyuan County, located on the Luliang Mountain, with mountains and hills in the majority, the territory is rampant with foreign races, and thieves are rampant.

Dian Wei once led the Tiger Battalion to disguise the ghost face army in the mountains many times to suppress bandits, the best at mountain warfare, Zhang Liao ordered it to ruthlessly kill the remnants of Baibo, bandits, Qianghu, and Xiongnu who were raging in the territory, so as to quickly control Xihe County and stabilize the western defense line of Taiyuan County.

And Zhang Liao took the Zhonglang general Zhao Yun, Beijia Zhang Ji, the chief bookkeeper Tian Yi, and the military advisor Guo Jia and his party along the Fenhe Valley to the north and entered Taiyuan County.

Taiyuan County governs Jinyang, leading fifteen counties, Jinyang, Yuci, Yangyi, Qi County, Zhongdu, Wuxian, Jiexiu, Pingtao, Daling, Zishi, Langmeng, Yuxian, Yangqu, Xian, Jingling, in addition to the Fen River, there is more Jinyang Lake, the land is fertile, and there are countless fertile fields.

But compared to Hedong County and Guanzhong, Taiyuan County is more desolate, the land here is not bad, but there are more wars, when the former Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded this land year after year, to the time of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were divided, and tens of thousands of Xiongnu were attached, this is the Southern Xiongnu. After the Southern Xiongnu were annexed, they were all placed in Bingzhou, and Taiyuan County naturally had a lot.

After one hundred and fifty years, the population of the Southern Xiongnu has approached 300,000, plus some of the Northern Xiongnu Zahu annexed later, the number of Xiongnu in Bingzhou exceeds 450,000, and the Han people in the nine counties of Bingzhou are only 700,000, not to mention Wuhuan and Xianbei, which have risen in the past ten years.

This piece of land was ravaged by war, although the Southern Xiongnu were attached, but often rebelled, and after the Xiongnu split, Xianbei took advantage of the situation, Emperor Huan when Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes, and harassed the state and Youzhou for many years, a big war in fifteen years changed the pattern of the state.

At that time, Emperor Ling sent troops to attack the increasingly powerful Xianbei, Cai Yong also objected, thinking that the time was not right, but Emperor Ling ordered Xianbei Zhonglang to attack Tian Yan from the clouds, Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan Lieutenant, from Gaoliu, so that the Xiongnu Zhonglang Zang Min attacked from Yanmen, and the three-way army crusaded against Xianbei, and the Han army went out of more than 2,000 miles, but was defeated by Tanshi Huai, and only a few hundred horses remained.

Since then, most of the counties and counties of Bingzhou have lost control, Xianbei and other foreign races are even more unscrupulous, repeatedly plundering, and even four years ago, the Xiongnu slaughtered the rebellion of various departments, attacked and killed Zhang Yi, the history of the state assassin, Ding Yuan did the history of the state assassin, and it was that year that Zhang Liao was called by Ding Yuan to engage in and sent to Luoyang to enter the West Garden.

Also that year, Zhang Liao's father died in the war.

After Dong Zhuo took control of the courtiers, in the east, it was difficult for the government decree to leave the Kanto, and the same was true in the north, which was blocked by the white waves, and completely lost control of the state.

Therefore, in the past two years, wars in the counties have become more frequent, and countless county officials have died, and the fields have been barren.

Li Dao and Guo Yan played Zhang Liao as the pastor of the state, but they didn't care about this place at all.

Fortunately, half a year ago, Zhang Liao ordered Gao Shun to lead the army into Taiyuan County, and fought against foreign invasions several times, and even crossed the Great Wall and entered Yanmen, so that the two counties were slightly stable, but it was only Taiyuan and half of Yanmen, and there were Wuyuan, Dingxiang, Shuofang, and Yunzhong in the north of the state were still completely under the control of the aliens.

Zhang Liao served as the pastor of Bingzhou, which can be said to have a long way to go, but in the same way, this is also the goal he has always pursued, to level different races, set borders, protect the Han people, and protect stability, not to mention that Bingzhou is still his hometown.
