Chapter 1: Attack on Cao Cao
Tai'an, also means Guotai and Min'an, and the name of the year usually represents the good wishes of some rulers.
However, the name Tai'an, no matter what outsiders think, but from the perspective of the people under Ye Zhao's rule, it is still very appropriate.
Since Liu Wei ascended the throne, Guanzhong has really been a country and a peaceful country, but looking at Kanto, it is a lot of war.
In the second year of Tai'an (205 AD, ten years of Jian'an), Yuan Shao's condition suddenly deteriorated in the spring, and soon died in Yecheng depressed, Cao Cao and Liu Bei got the news and shot at the same time, but the plan was slightly different, Cao Cao took Wei County directly, and Liu Bei was blocked by Yuan Shang led the army in Changshan, lost the opportunity, and after Cao Cao occupied Wei County, he knew that he was invincible, persuaded Yuan Shang to surrender, and took Changshan, but in a blink of an eye was broken by Xiahoudun and Cao Ren joined forces, so he had to retreat to Zhongshan and defend the land of the three counties.
In the same year, Sun Ce first sent people to serve Liu Biao to contain Lü Bu, and then led the army to attack Runan, Yuan Shu knew that he was invincible, abandoned the city and fled, and wanted to go to Xuchang with his family to join Cao Cao, but was stopped by Lü Bu, who defeated Liu Biao, in the Yangzhai area, not only captured Yuan Shu, but also accepted Yuan Shu Feng as a concubine.
Yuan Shu IV and the Third Duke, but in the end, he was so humiliated by Lu Bu, who was completely disdainful in the past, and died of vomiting blood in Wancheng.
The former prominent family of the four generations and the three princes has completely withdrawn from this competition stage with the world as a chessboard.
The following year, that is, the third year of Tai'an, the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 AD), Liu Bei wanted to develop with peace of mind, but Cao Cao was to Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong as generals, respectively from the Bohai Sea, Hejian, Zhongshan, and county by county, so that Liu Bei could not develop with peace of mind, after a one-year buffer period, Cao Cao sent troops again, led an army of 50,000 to take Youzhou, Liu Bei fortified everywhere, but was broken by Cao Cao one by one, and finally under the cover of the Mi family, he abandoned his wife and children, and only took Zhang Fei, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, and Chen to flee to the sea, Tian Yu saw that the general situation was difficult to change, so he had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao.
At this point, Cao Cao unified the north, dominating Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and part of Yuzhou, becoming the most populous prince in the world.
On Ye Zhao's side, for two years, Ye Zhao naturally couldn't do nothing, but compared to the mutual attacks of the Central Plains princes, Ye Zhao did a lot more.
In the first year of Tai'an, on the day of Liu Wei's accession to the throne, the rear of the Che Division suddenly entered Liuzhong, slaughtering the Han people in Liuzhong, and at the same time, the Northern Xiongnu and the Western Xianbei seemed to have reached an agreement with the two Che Shi countries, and sent troops at the same time.
Although this great war, which affected almost the entire pattern of the Western Regions, was little known in the Central Plains, for Ye Zhaolai, it was a battle that established the status of the Han people in the Western Regions for hundreds of years to come.
The Northern Xiongnu and the Western Xianbei suddenly attacked, and the Han army in the Western Regions was caught off guard, and the four cities of Liuzhong, Yiwu, Yihe, and Yizhi were caught off guard, not only were they broken, but the county commanders and county lieutenants sent by Ye Zhao in the city were also ruthlessly killed, but then, when the 50,000 troops of the Western Xianbei attacked Yiwu, Zhao Tong was already prepared, and the 50,000 army fought around Juyan for a month, but was blocked by Zhao Tong with 3,000 Yiwu troops.
Ye Zhao was furious after hearing the news, Zhao Yun, Guan Hai, Guan Yu led the army across thousands of miles of territory to Yiwu within a month, and defeated the western Xianbei, Guan Yu and Huaxiong joined forces, and the Northern Xiongnu and the Cheshi army fought for a year, but Zhao Yun led the army eastward, all the way to pursue the western Xianbei, and chased until Jin Lianchuan, to fight the war, from the first year of Tai'an to the second year of Tai'an, the western Xianbei could not be supported by Yu Qianshuo, and had no choice but to surrender.
However, to everyone's surprise, under the condition that the Western Xianbei surrendered, he killed 300,000 Western Xianbei people in Jinlianchuan in one go, almost exterminating the men of the Western Xianbei in one go.
Even Ye Zhao didn't expect that Zhao Yun, who had always been inclined to benevolence and righteousness, would be so ruthless in this battle, Ye Zhao remembered that Xu Rong had told him back then, although Zhao Yun had the potential to be a general, but he was too benevolent, who would have thought that this time Zhao Yun would start so simply.
But it's not difficult to understand when you think about it, Xianbei soldiers besieged Yiwu, and 50,000 troops attacked Yiwu City with 3,000 soldiers and horses, although Zhao Yun and others arrived in time to save Yiwu City, but Zhao Tong and Wang Ren at that time had almost reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, even if it was one day late, the city could be destroyed at any time.
Zhao Yun is now middle-aged, and the pain of losing a child is probably not something he is willing to bear, coupled with the fact that Ye Zhao has always been under the high-pressure policy towards the Hu people, the string that he has been guarding is broken, and then the Western Xianbei will be directly destroyed, it's as simple as that, but for Ye Zhaolai, this is a good thing, without that unnecessary kindness, Zhao Yun is definitely the choice of the general who is in charge, even more suitable than Guan Yu.
After all, although Guan Yu is good, he loves to take risks too much, and he has encountered opponents like Li Dao and the Huns before, Guan Yu can become famous through this, but now that Guan Yu's reputation has become bigger, in the eyes of some strategists, his behavior pattern has been determined and is easy to be targeted, and secondly, with Ye Zhao's current power, he no longer needs to rely on taking risks to make a big deal with a small one, what he needs now is to be crushed by a dignified and upright person.
In short, this is a good thing for Ye Zhaolai.
The conquest with the western Xianbei and the Northern Xiongnu lasted until the end of the second year of Tai'an, the Xianbei tribe was wiped out, a large number of women and children were sent to the Zhangye area, after the Northern Xiongnu were defeated by Guan Yu, seeing the tragic situation of the Xianbei people, how dare they shout with Ye Zhao again, after leaving a large number of people, they led their troops to flee north, thousands of miles away.
After that, it was Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, and Guan Hai soldiers who entered the two departments of the Cheshi country, without the two major backers of the Xianbei and the Huns, and after seeing the fierceness of the Han people, the lord of the Cheshi country was not sure to face the Han army alone, and successively asked for help from Wusun, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Gumo and other countries, but it was a stone sinking into the sea.
Gritted his teeth in the Tianshan Mountains and the Han army battled, but was defeated by the destruction of the withered general, the front of the Che Division of the Lord surrendered in Jiaohe City, although not as to deal with the Xiongnu, Xianbei General direct slaughter of the city, but the front of the Che Shi State of the royal family, officials and the army were slaughtered, Yiwu, Yizhi, Yihe, Liuzhong since it has been completely returned to the Han, that is the Han people, for those who dare to do it to the people of the Han family, the Han soldiers will never be soft, but also revoked the name of the Che Division, the main city of the front of the Che Division was also renamed the city of begging.
Seeing the tragic situation in the front of the car division, the rear of the car division naturally did not dare to surrender, so he could only continue to resist, but was reversed by the people in the city, the head of the lord of the rear of the car division was cut off by the people and dedicated to Guan Yu, the army in the city was also slaughtered, and the rear capital Jinmancheng was changed to a begging city.
Zhao Tong was promoted to the protector of the Western Regions because of his merits, took over the position of Huaxiong, advocated Dunhuang, Zhangye and the newly established three counties of Xijun, Wang Ren was the Taishou of Xijun, although the soldiers and horses were still maintained at about 30,000, but after this battle, no one dared to easily offend the Han Tianwei, and the Silk Road was therefore unimpeded, and even many small countries began to pay tribute to Chang'an, hoping to get Ye Zhao's blessing.
From the beginning of Guan Yu and others to the establishment of Xijun, it took more than two years, and when Ye Zhao returned from Zhangye, the princes of the Central Plains had already experienced another round of elimination, and it was not surprising that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu eliminated Ye Zhao, but Liu Bei would be eliminated so quickly, which really surprised Ye Zhao.
"It seems that Meng De has done a lot in the past two years!" Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Zhao looked at the information and shook his head.
In the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, the first year of Tai'an, when Ye Zhao led the crowd to march to the chariot division, Cao Cao issued a recruitment order to the world in the name of the Son of Heaven, although it could not catch up with Chang'an, but in the past two years, the armament under Cao Cao's command has indeed improved a lot, and at the same time, although there is Ye Zhao's magic camp, but this time Cao Cao's recruitment order also represents the status of craftsmen recognized in the whole world, and it is no longer a strange skill in the mouth of Confucianism.
And not only that, Cao Cao before and after, full of three orders to seek talent, at the same time in the rule of officials, but also began to follow the Guanzhong in all directions during the period of Ye Zhao's expedition to the Western Regions, carried out drastic reforms, during Cao Cao's conquest of Liu Bei, there were Guo, Xu, Shen, Ding four families intended to take advantage of Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to subvert Cao Cao's regime, but Cao Cao left behind all the slaughter, Xuchang City is clear this time, there are thousands of people who have been punished, and more than a dozen small families have been bulldozed, vacating a large number of fields and property by Cao CaoAt the same time, it also opened the official land system, following the example of Guanzhong, which is only leased and cannot be transferred or sold without permission.
At this point, discerning people can already see that this Cao Cao wants to emulate Ye Zhao and fundamentally begin to suppress the family and promote the development of industry at the same time.
"Well done!" Ye Zhao didn't wait for everyone to speak, and suddenly smiled: "Meng De has endured it for so many years, and he has finally made up his mind!" ”
In fact, after Ye Zhao sat firmly in Guanzhong, Cao Cao had already discovered the benefits of Ye Zhao's system, and with the increasing number of scholars in the world, at the grassroots level, even in the Central Plains, the dependence on scholars has been decreasing, and since then, Cao Cao has begun to lay out.
Up to now, defeating Yuan Shao, holding military power, coupled with the pressure brought by Ye Zhao's side, has forced Cao Cao to follow Ye Zhao's example.
"Lord, Cao Cao follows my Guanzhong policy, although it can speed up the lord's plan to break the scholar class, but if the time drags on for too long, it will not be a good thing for our army!" Xi Zhicai stepped forward and bowed.
If Cao Cao's reform is completed, the national strength will continue to rise, and when the time comes, Ye Zhao will face Cao Cao, in addition to the advantages in weapons, in other aspects, the advantage is not large, and as Cao Cao promotes the development of industry, this gap may be gradually made up.
"Pull out the seedlings to help grow, no matter how long the time drags on, he can't catch up!" Ye Zhao said with a smile, the rise of industry in Guanzhong is based on the saturation of agriculture, and a large number of craftsmen and practitioners will appear.
Looking at everyone, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "But Zhicai's is not bad, at this time, Meng De has already helped us to completely shake the status of scholars, and the rest of the things will be left to us to do, and it's fine." ”
The civil and military forces were overjoyed when they heard this, which meant that Ye Zhao had finally decided to use troops against Guanzhong.
