Three days later, Liu He led his soldiers back to Shangdang, of course, before leaving, the two sides have been allocated for the next military action, because after investigation, it has been determined that there was indeed an accident in Hanoi, Zhang Yang was killed by the general Yang Chou in the process of the expedition, Yang Chou was ready to surrender to Cao Cao, but was killed by Zheng Gu, Zheng Gu led the army to garrison the shooting dog, ready to surrender Yuan Shao, but was killed by the Black Mountain thief Zuo Zhangba, now Zhang Yang's soldiers are led by Mu Shun and Fang Yue respectively, Fang Yue led his troops to surrender to Hedong Taishou Jia Kui, Mu Shun led his troops to continue to shoot dogs, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army.

Therefore, after Liu He and Yuan Shao agreed, it was decided that Yuan Shao personally led Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran and 30,000 troops under his command to Hanoi to conquer Zuo Zhangba and other thieves, and Liu He's Hedong County was responsible for sending troops to cooperate; In addition, Yuan Shao ordered Liyi, Han Meng, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi and other generals to lead an army of 20,000, with Liyi as the main general, to attack the thieves in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun and other places, while Liu He's army attacked Taiyuan as a countermeasure.

"Now Yuan Shaobing and I are in two directions, supporting each other and attacking together, no matter how stubbornly the Black Mountain thieves resist, I believe they will be pacified soon." On the way back, Liu He thought silently.

Along the way, especially in Yecheng, seeing the destroyed city walls after the Black Mountain thieves crossed the border, as well as the people who were mutilated, I felt very uncomfortable, and secretly made up my mind that we must spare no effort in the future to calm down all the Black Mountain thieves and return the people to a quiet and peaceful life.

In fact, along the way, Liu He also thought a lot, especially about the Black Mountain thieves.

Regarding this issue, he also had a lot of exchanges with Pei Yuanshao and Pan Feng, and in the end, he couldn't help but think: "Why are the Black Mountain thieves so difficult to exterminate?" Why are the thieves inexhaustible, but more and more? Is our army not strong enough? Or are those thieves particularly fond of fighting and killing? In fact, some people are really not as cruel as we imagined, such as Xu Huang, Pei Yuanshao, Pan Feng and those under him, they were originally very simple and kind, even if they were bandits, they were not evildoers, and they were even more loyal and commendable after following me, but they also became bandits in the end, for two reasons, one is that they were forced to have no way to live by the officers and soldiers, so they had to rise up, and the other is that they had relatives and friends who joined the bandits, and then those relatives and friends invited them to join, and they were forced to join for the sake of face, But no matter what the reason, they definitely don't want to be bandits for the rest of their lives, so they can work so hard after submitting to me to get promoted. ”

Thinking of this, Liu He suddenly felt that for the bandits, it is not necessarily blindly encircled and suppressed, sometimes the appeasement may be more effective than the encirclement and suppression, which is of course based on the trust of the thieves, and the time and patience required are far better than the encirclement and suppression itself, but Liu He knows that the benefits of the appeasement are definitely beyond the reach of simple encirclement and suppression, after all, this can not only allow him to reduce casualties, but also bring him many people with certain combat experience, these people can both produce and fight, if used, How good it would be to farm when you are busy and train and fight in your spare time.

"Huh? I remember that there seems to be this kind of practice in history that merges agriculture and integrates soldiers with agriculture, which is called the government military system, which is the military system that prevailed in the early Tang Dynasty, but the government military system needs to be matched with the Juntian system. Well, then I'll start with Shangdang County, distribute land to those thieves who have surrendered but are old and weak, and initially try out the equalization system. Of course, before that, I have to occupy the absolute advantage over the thieves, otherwise no matter who it is, I will be suspicious, so my top priority is to capture Taiyuan County......"

However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and then I heard the spies' urgent report: "Report to the lord, it's not good, it is said that the thief Zhang Yan gathered tens of thousands of troops in Taiyuan to counterattack the party, and now the eldest son city is besieged and the water is impassable, Xu Taishou is leading the troops to defend it, but the victory or defeat is not known, and we are still further probing." ”

"This, what a Zhang Yan, I haven't troubled you yet, you actually took the initiative to provoke trouble, today I must know that you know how powerful our army is! Pass my order, the army marched quickly, and immediately rushed to the city of the eldest son, I want to join forces with the city of the eldest son, and jointly break Zhang Yan's ......"

"Wait, lord, you think this matter is inappropriate", Liu He didn't finish his sentence, and saw Xun You hurriedly stopped: "Lord, listen to what you say, now Zhang Yan is attacking the eldest son, but with Xu Yuanzhi's wisdom and Gan Ning's bravery, although the eldest son city only has 9,000 white soldiers and more than 1,000 Gan Ning's troops, it is enough to hold it, besides, even if it is 10,000 steps back, even if Xu Yuanzhi really can't hold the party, the more than 1,000 people in the lord can't play a big role, so, I think that we should not lead the army back to Shangdang now, but should take the opportunity to attack the enemy's relatively empty Taiyuan County, once Taiyuan is taken, Zhang Yan has become a lost dog, there is no need to worry about it, this is the plan to save Zhao from Wei and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, and please think twice. ”

"This ......"

"Don't hesitate, my lord, Gongda is right, at this time, we should indeed take the opportunity to occupy Taiyuan, so that we can get in touch with Youzhou, so even if we have no soldiers in the city, the thieves will not dare to attack on a large scale, and as long as Xu Yuanzhi insists until we occupy Taiyuan, Zhang Yan, who has lost the fundamental land, will definitely withdraw from the siege."

Seeing Liu He's hesitation, Guo Jia also stepped forward at this time and said loudly.

"Good! Since this is the case, then, the whole army obeys the order and attacks Taiyuan with me! Seeing that the two top strategists both said this, Liu He had no hesitation in his heart and gave the order categorically.

"No!" Although there were only 1,000 people, the current soldiers of the Bai Yu Army were as high as a rainbow, and immediately obeyed the order and went to the direction of Taiyuan.

Although it seems to be relaxed on the surface, Liu He's heart is a little heavy, although the Bai Yu army has 9,000 people, but without the blessing of Chen Zhi's combat power, can they still be an invincible iron army? If these 9,000 people did not have the combat strength they should have, just relying on Gan Ning and the more than 1,000 troops under his command, there would be no hope of resisting Zhang Yan's tens of thousands of troops at all.

"Yuan Zhi, Xingba, Pei Yuanshao, Deng Zhan, the safety of the party is entrusted to you, if you can successfully defend the party, everything will naturally have nothing to say, but if the party is lost, not only will Hanoi be threatened, but I will also be discredited because of this defeat, and I will no longer be able to raise my head in front of Yuan Shao." Quietly turning his head and glancing in the direction of the party, Liu He said silently in his heart.
