It is said that Gao Shun pacified Liangzhou and returned to Jizhou, and not long after, he received a letter from Zhou Fei and Fu Zhi, and the local tyrants of Yizhou wanted to jointly occupy Hanzhong County, lead troops into Yizhou, and overthrow Liu Yan's rule; After thinking carefully, Gao Shun overturned his previous decision and replied that either Xiangyang City was occupied by Dong Zhuo or Liu Yan died, as long as one of them was met, he could march into Yizhou, otherwise he should step up his military training and avoid hasty trouble.

In the following years, Gao Shun sat back and watched the changes in the Central Plains, and various localities actively trained troops, but in the past few years, the development was too fast, and the quality of officers and men declined.

Because he received the whole territory of Yanzhou, Lu Su developed well in Yangzhou, and also arranged chess pieces in Yizhou, so Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others did not urge Gao Shun to go south, anyway, now Dong Zhuo and all the Central Plains princes are having a hard time, and the longer the time, the more beneficial it will be to Gao Shun.

During this period, Gao Shun released the last guard in the system, Feng Yong, Gao Shun named the table name as Meng Zhi, first as a Zhonglang general, served under Li Qiang, and later served as the Taishou of Hedong County, while Chu Yan, the governor of Hedong County, was promoted to Zhonglang General and continued to garrison Hanoi County.

Everyone saw that Gao Shun had the intention of chasing the Central Plains, and it was the military generals who would make contributions in the future, so Chu Yan took the initiative to resign as the captain.

At the cost of 100,000 stone of grain, Dong Zhuofang asked the imperial court to canonize Feng Yong as the Marquis of Ping'en.

After the expiration of the filial piety period of the eldest princess, Gao Shun set up a marriage for him and Feng Yong, and finally completed one of Gao Shun's thoughts.

The engagement ceremony was held in Licheng, Qingzhou, and the imperial court sent Zongzheng Liu Yu to preside over it, but Gao Shun did not participate.

This is a grand event of the royal family in the world, and most of the royal relatives and relatives have sent people to participate, and take advantage of this to make friends with the Gaoshun forces.

Although Gao Shun did not change the name of the kingdom and the marquis in his jurisdiction, he had adopted the management of the county, reduced the salaries of the king and the princes, and also reduced the restrictions on them, no longer limited them to the fiefdom, they could go out to study, do business, and those with excellent talents could also engage in politics, etc., which was considered to have advantages and disadvantages, and in the troubled times, this was already a very good treatment.

Feng Yong is the same age as Princess Wannian, and he was born as strong, mighty, and handsome as the Marquis of Guangnian and Guangping, but he is younger, and his martial arts are also on par with them, which makes the eldest princess of Yang'an, the eldest princess of Yingyin, and the eldest princess of Yangzhai extremely satisfied.

Although the eldest princess of Wan Nian had a little illusion about Gao Shun, if she could marry Gao Shun, she would have a chance to save the declining court, but limited to the etiquette at that time and the persuasion of several eldest princesses, she had to give up.

Qingzhou Mufang Liang and military advisor Cheng Li became the busiest candidates.

In order to make friends with Gaoshun's forces, Dong Zhuo took Fu Shou, the concubine of the eldest princess of Yang'an, into the palace and was named a nobleman; And he couldn't move his Hou Fu to finish as the ruling Jinwu, so that he sent many envoys to Jizhou.

Subsequently, Li Qiang took the initiative to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army of Taihang Mountain, selected its outstanding officers and soldiers to join the army, and restored the local government system.

The thief leader Qin Guan is missing.

There are no hidden dangers in Hebei, He, You, Qing and other states, and Xi Zhicai and others are very happy.

The marriage ceremony was held in Ping'en County, Wei County, and the world was basically in a stable state, and it was even more grand.

The wealth of Jizhou and Qingzhou impressed the people who came to participate in the ceremony, and this is the foundation, and the one who will end the troubled times in the future will be the champion Hou Gaoshun.

The people of the royal family also saw the trick, the positions of several emperors-in-law were extremely ingenious, Fang Liang lived east of Luoyang, Zhou Fei lived west of Luoyang, and Feng Yong, Marquis of Ping'en, lived in the north of Luoyang, and they all had heavy troops in charge, forming a siege of Luoyang, could it be that the royal family regained the opportunity for revival?

Gao Shun is a foreign minister, which is not convenient for the Qing monarch, but several emperors' sons-in-law do the things of the Qing monarch.

Li Ru and Dong Zhuo didn't pay much attention to this, anyway, they would evacuate Luoyang sooner or later, and at that time, all the arrangements of Gao Shun would be empty, and at most they would occupy an empty city; They will not leave empty-handed when they evacuate Luoyang, and all the wealth and population will not be left.

During this period, Gao Shun took Mi Zhen and became the first concubine, who was pregnant; And Xu Ting gave birth to two more daughters after giving birth to two sons, and now she is pregnant again; Both children are complete, Gao Shun is very happy, and Gao's mother is also very happy.

Driven by Gao Shun, Li Qiang, Ma Gui, Zhou Fei, Zhao Xiong and others also took concubines one after another, all of whom were busy with the great cause of increasing the population.

By the autumn of the third year of the early peace, the whole country was in a state of equilibrium, except for the confrontation between the two cities of Xiang and Fan, and the society had temporarily settled down and began to recuperate.

Cheng Wu of Yongzhou, after occupying Jiayuguan, was unable to advance westward, so he could only protect himself, defend, and be busy developing internal people's livelihood and construction.

The north is stable, there are no worries, Gao Shun and Qin Guan secretly went to sea from Luocheng Port and went south to Huiji County; The family is still in charge of Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Li Qiang and Ma Gui, and Gao Shun is extremely relieved of them.

In autumn and winter, the north wind is stronger than the south wind, which is suitable for sailing south.

In the past few years, Gao Wei, the governor of the navy, has figured out the routes and water conditions around the Bohai Sea and from Jiaozhou in the south, and has drawn detailed charts, which has promoted the development of shipping and enhanced the prosperity of north-south commerce.

At this time, Huiji County was vast, including half of Zhejiang Province and all of Fujian Province, and the essence area was on the south shore of Hangzhou Bay in the northernmost part; It has 15 counties under its jurisdiction, with more than 500,000 Han people, and a large number of Fujian people, Yue people and other indigenous people.

In November of the third year of Chuping, after two months of sailing, Gao Shun and others disguised themselves as businessmen and abandoned their ships and landed on the coast of Zhenxian County, Huiji County.

With the assistance of the previously arranged secret agents, they entered the county seat smoothly; Gao Shun did not rashly launch an attack on the county, but first wanted to understand the situation of Huiji County.

At this time, Huiji County was too obedient and sick, and Liu Miao remembered the kindness of the Chen family to support him, and ordered Chen Yu to be the Taishou of Huiji County.

With the support of the Chen family, Huiji County was stable and developed rapidly, and became Liu Xuan's stable rear.

Chen Yu (a work of Chen Li), the word Gongwei, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in Huaipu (now Lianshuixi, Jiangsu), the eldest son of Chen Qiu, Chen Qi's cousin, and Chen Dengtang's uncle.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 soldiers in Huiji County, all of whom were stationed in Shanyin County, and there were only 100 officials in each county, but the defense of bandits required the assistance of local large households.

The local big families are much stronger than the government forces, for example, the famous general Zhu Jun in the late Han Dynasty was in Shangyu County, Huiji County, and he once transferred 5,000 soldiers to help the imperial court quell the rebellion.

At that time, the Min and Shanyue people were powerful and occupied the inland mountainous areas, while the government only set up county towns in the coastal and riverside plains; These natives and the Han people have fierce contradictions, often go out to plunder Han villages and towns, if there is no strong army of these big tribes, it is difficult for the Han people to live and live here, which is also forced by the environment.

Gao Shun is now very contradictory, he is ready to send officers and soldiers in the form of the Yellow Turban Army to seize the land south of the Yangtze River, these local wealthy clans will definitely rebel, if they are all wiped out, there will be a large number of troops stationed in various counties to resist the invasion of bandits, which will greatly increase logistics and become a heavy burden; If you don't eliminate these local tyrants, it will be difficult to gain their support.

Qin Guan was very confident, and said with a smile: "Haha, lord, this is good news!" ”

"How so?" Gao Shun asked puzzled.

Qin Guan explained: "Lord, there are local tyrants in every county, they have the support of the local people, and the Yellow Turban Army is the natural enemy of these local tyrants, we only need to kill these local tyrants, we can successfully control the place, and the released domestic soldiers and slaves will be ordinary people who pay taxes normally, otherwise, even if they fight these places, the government lacks financial resources and is unable to develop." ”

"It takes time and effort to conquer county by county, and after the occupation, a large number of troops will be garrisoned, which is also a great burden."

Qin Guan said: "Don't worry, the lord, these local tyrants seem to be powerful, but compared with our army, they are not worth mentioning, thousands of soldiers in each county, what is there to fear?" After destroying them, according to their wishes, they can choose the best from their own soldiers to join the army and guard the place; Who would want to be a domestic slave or a soldier when they were given land, and money to be distributed, reduced taxes, and exempted from forced labor, so that they could live a good life? As long as we gain the approval of the people, we will be invincible. ”

Gao Shun was very happy, thinking to himself, Qin Guan had not spent the past few years in the mountains in vain, and learned the essence of the Yellow Turban Army, and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, just do it." ”
