Chapter 503: Angry Dong Zhuo
In the end, the three chose to engage in military positions, and in the war years, military positions were more secure than civilian jobs.
Zhonglang transferred Li Yan to Jiangzhou County to defend the security of the eastern border.
Zhao Wei was still a lieutenant general, leading 10,000 infantry to garrison Guanghan County and support the Quartet at any time.
Jia Long was appointed as the general of Nanzhonglang, with 10,000 infantry, stationed in Jiangyang County, supervising the military of the five southern counties and ensuring the security of the south.
Ren Qi is engaged in Bingcao.
In this way, the three of them can accept it, and the number of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Zhao Wei and Jia Long is small, but the combat effectiveness is not the same.
At present, Zhao Yun wants to concentrate on developing the northern counties and stabilizing the interior.
As for the five southern counties, they will adopt extensive management for the time being, and it is good not to make trouble, and they will not have the energy to operate in a short period of time, so they can only do some paving work first, such as building roads, developing trade, conscription, cultural dissemination, supporting local large households to fight against barbarians, and sending the children of large families to Chengdu as officials.
Subsequently, Zhao Yun went to Jiangzhou County to visit Liu Ba and Yan Yan.
After many attempts to find Liu Ba, Zhao Yun estimated that Gao Shun's intelligence was wrong, so he didn't pay attention to it, but let people look for it slowly.
Yan Yan has a bold temperament, has a discussion with Zhao Yun, puts away his contempt, follows Zhao Yun back to Chengdu, and temporarily serves as a military commander.
Zhao Yun valued his martial arts and character, and after intentionally familiarizing him with military affairs, he specially formed a strong army that could adapt to the hot and humid climate, be good at water warfare, adapt to mountain warfare, and be able to attack cities, and the officers and soldiers could be recruited by Yan Yan himself, giving him a lot of autonomy.
Zhao Yun knew that Gao Shun had several strong armies, the first camp that could overcome the cavalry, the camp that could attack the city, and the Lux battalion that was good at running and attacking everything, not to mention the camp trapped, and the combat power was even more perverted; He, Zhao Yun, must form a strong army with his own characteristics; In addition, if he attacks Jingzhou in the future, Zhou Fei will go out of Wuguan and conquer the northern part of Jingzhou, he will go down the Yangtze River and fight for the southern part of Jingzhou, which is mountainous and watery, and will be the main battlefield of this army.
As for the 3,000 strong army formed by Shi A suitable for mountain warfare, after the expansion, one is to defend Chengdu, and the other is to be put into the five southern counties to fight.
Yan Yan was so valued by Zhao Yun, his heart was full of passion, and he happily accepted the order.
Another month later, the appointment of the imperial court was served, Zhao Yun became the official appointment of the imperial court to Yizhou, and the military flag representing Yizhou was raised at the military camp and the cityhead; However, the military and political affairs of Yizhou were still under the jurisdiction of Zhou Fei, the general of the expedition to the west.
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were very happy, in this way, the management of the local military and government would be justified, so the two implemented a series of measures: rectify the rule of officials, suppress the powerful and powerful, promote education, develop water conservancy, persuade agriculture and mulberry, exempt from military service, encourage childbirth, build galloping roads, and promote commerce.
When the people and the officers and men of the army heard the news, their hearts were even more stable, and they were afraid that the policy would change at will and lose the good life they had just lived.
The Yizhou scholars and local tyrants were very depressed, behind Zhao Yun was Zhou Fei, the general of Zhengxi, and behind Zhou Fei was the more powerful chariot general Gao Shun, who had no power to resist at all; And Hanzhong County and Wudu County are under the jurisdiction of Zhou Fei of Liangzhou, which is like a steel knife on the head of Yizhou, which can fall at any time.
With the loss of Hanzhong County, Yizhou lost the opportunity to be independent geographically.
After stabilizing, Zhao Yun sent people to bring his wife and children, and Guo Jia's family together, which was also one of the important conditions for stabilizing the local military and government.
However, the happiest is Gao Shun, whose territory has easily expanded by millions of equal kilometers, and his points have increased by millions per month, which is a very large fortune; The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that after Zhao Yun entered Yizhou, he was too gentle, and the number of synthetic places obtained was less than 20,000.
The most angry is none other than Dong Zhuo, he sent Nanjun Taishou Guo Yan to attack Yizhou along the Yangtze River, lost his troops and returned defeated, but he didn't expect Gao Shun to have a plan, so easily to take the long-awaited Yizhou, after which Gao Shun's power will be stronger.
Yizhou was known to the world at that time as the country of abundance, with money and grain surplus and incomparably rich.
What makes Dong Zhuo even more angry is that now Gao Shun has occupied half of the Han Dynasty, and they are all rich lands, plus their powerful army, who can be the enemy?
And Dong Zhuo's goal is to occupy Jingzhou and occupy Jiangnan, and now the goal has not been achieved, Gao Shun has occupied Yizhou again, if there is a war in the future, his naval army will go down the river, how to resist? It will be a very big threat to him.
Gao Shun sent someone to claim the position of Yizhou Mu, no matter how angry Dong Zhuo was, he still approved the appointment under Li Ru's suggestion, and now is not the best opportunity to start a war with Gao Shun.
Dong Zhuo's anger was hard to dissipate, so he vented his anger on Luoyang and the surrounding wealthy families, the family property and wealth were looted, and the personnel were either in the army, slaves, or killed, and the entire Luoyang area became a hell on earth.
The imperial tomb was stolen and dug up, the palace was also looted many times, and all valuable things were transported to Jingzhou; The bronze ware was made into copper coins, and a large amount of grain was purchased from the Gaoshun forces and shipped to Jingzhou; A large number of people migrated to Jingzhou, the methods were rude, and a large number of old and weak people died on the way, which made the heavens angry and resentful.
In order to prepare for the southward migration, with the assistance of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo was fully prepared; Several counties were carved out from the north of Nanjun and Jiangxia County, plus several counties in the south of Nanyang County, and Xiangyang County was formed, which was governed in Xiangyang City, focusing on strengthening and increasing Wancheng, Fancheng and Xiangyang Cities, as a support point to block the southward movement of Gaoshun's forces.
The people of Nanyang County were also asked to move south, and a large number of young people were conscripted into the army and stepped up training.
The trading of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion had stopped, and Su Shuang reported the situation in Luoyang and the surrounding area to Gao Shun, hoping to withdraw to Jizhou.
Gao Shun was furious when he heard the news, he was not worried about the people of Luoyang, nor was he worried about the high-ranking officials of the court and the emperor, he was worried that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang and destroy the palace, so he immediately sent Zhengnan to Luoyang, and warned Dong Zhuo not to do anything that is indignant to everyone and God, and to ensure the safety of Luoyang, the safety of the palace, and the precious collection of books.
Dong Zhuo was even more angry by Gao Shun's attitude; Gao Shun deceived people too much, he occupied so much territory by himself, his ambition was already known to passers-by, and he kept saying that he would not interfere in the affairs of the imperial court or the affairs of the Central Plains, and now he even sent someone to speak to him like this, how could he justify himself?
Li Ru was very happy, and persuaded with a smile: "Haha, the master doesn't need to be angry, this is a good thing!" ”
Dong Zhuo asked angrily, "How can you see it?" ”
Li Ru hurriedly explained: "Taishi, he didn't ask us to dig the imperial tomb, and he didn't ask about the treasures we transported in the palace, which is all a matter that damages the dignity of the royal family; Now the champion Hou actually asks to protect the safety of the palace, the safety of the Dongguan book collection, and the safety of Luoyang on the grounds of royal dignity, which shows that he wants an intact Luoyang! And in his eyes, the emperor and the ministers are not as important as the Dongguan book collection, he is showing us his heart! ”
Dong Zhuo understood the first half, but he couldn't understand the second half, and asked rhetorically: "What is his heart?" ”
"He must want to sit in Luoyang facing south!" I really admire Li Ru's rich imagination.
"Ahh Dong Zhuo is so powerful that he just wants to be a powerful minister of Huo Guang, but he has never had the idea of being Wang Mang, and Li Ru's words scared him a lot.
After Li Ru finished speaking, he also startled himself, but his thoughts were very different from Dong Zhuo's; If Gao Shun has this intention, then how old has he been planning and implementing step by step? When his reputation was far away, he was not enough to be weak, if this is the case, then Gao Shun is really a demon, too terrible, too terrifying; If Gao Shun really has this idea, then how should he deal with it?
Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, and was even more angry in his heart, if this was the case, what he did was completely to make a wedding dress for Gao Shun, he was notorious, and Gao Shun's name went down in history, the benefits were exhausted, and fame and fortune were gained.
But after thinking about it again, it's not like, if Gao Shun had this idea, he would not support Guangping Hou and Guangnian Hou so much, let alone support Feng Yong, the husband of the princess of Wan Nian, otherwise, when he wanted to sit facing south in the future, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
