Chapter 466 Advance to the Central Plains

Dong Zhuo was depressed, and the situation forced him, he could only reluctantly accept the harsh conditions proposed by the champion Hou Gaoshun, but he was really unwilling in his heart, so he said angrily: "Since the champion Hou intends to go to the three counties of Yanzhou, it can't be so cheap for him, there is still a period of time before going south, Wen You will have a good talk with Zhengnan again, strive for the greatest interests, I believe he will make some concessions, otherwise, directly sell the land of the three counties to Chen Wang Liu Pet." ”

"Yes, Master!" Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was talking angrily, so he could only respond first.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's face changed, and he said with a smile: "Haha, thank you for the reminder of the champion Hou, Wen You, make a list, count the rich families in the capital and the surrounding areas, and before evacuating Luoyang, we must catch them all as our expenses for going south." ”

"Yes, Master!"

Niu Fu said cautiously: "Taishi, there are a lot of treasures buried in the royal cemetery, after we go south, it is estimated that there will be no chance to come back, and we must not be cheap Champion Hou." ”

The last time the Empress Dowager He was buried with the first emperor, a large amount of treasure was stolen from it, which made him ecstatic, how could he let go of so much ownerless wealth? Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Hahaha, what the virtuous son-in-law said is right, Wen You will arrange it together when the time comes, and the rumors must not be leaked." ”

"Yes, Master!" Li Ru hurriedly responded.

After nearly 10 days of continuous negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

The imperial court exchanged the three counties of Yanzhou for Gao Shun and continued to pay taxes for one and a half years, of which one year's tax was paid at the end of December of that year, and the remaining half year's tax was paid at the end of June of the following year; Dong Zhuo agreed to all the additional conditions proposed by Gao Shun; The handover time is set for the first day of February to the first day of March of the following year.

When the news came back to Jizhou, everyone rejoiced; A little money and food, Gao Shun doesn't care.

According to the changes, Gao Shun made timely adjustments and prepared to take over the new territory.

Zhou Fei and Fang Liang were named generals of Zhengxi and Zhengdong respectively.

After that, the military administration under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou was under the jurisdiction of Zhou Fei, the general of Zhengxi, which greatly shortened the distance for requesting instructions and facilitated timely response to Yongzhou affairs.

Zhuge Xuan was appointed as the assassin of Yanzhou; The original Yanzhou Thorn History was moved to Jiyin County Taishou; Pinglu general Huang Zhong led his troops to garrison Dingtao, directly under the jurisdiction of 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry; Zhuge Xuan and Huang Zhong were under the direct jurisdiction of Fang Liang, the general of Zhengdong.

Zhonglang General Tai Shici is still stationed in Lu State and is under the jurisdiction of Huang Zhong.

After Sima of the other department, who was originally stationed in Dongping Kingdom, transferred to Liangzhou, Yin Li took over his position and served as the Sima of the other department; Considering his ability, Gao Shun decided to take advantage of this adjustment to promote Yin Li to Zhonglang General, and on the basis of the 5,000 infantry under his command, add 5,000 cavalry, and transfer it from Dongping to Puyang County to station; Gao Shun believes that his ability is absolutely qualified for the position of Zhonglang general.

As for Wu Dun, Gao Shun Gao Shun decided to let him take the position of Zhonglang General to strengthen the forces of Fang Liang in Qingzhou, and then take over Xuzhou, support Yangzhou, and even fight with the princes of Yuzhou, so he expanded his army in advance; According to Fang Liang's report, the thieves who were recruited were of a good level, very self-disciplined, and trustworthy in character; Considering the balance of factions, the Yellow Turban family is dominant, and Gao Shuncai focused on promoting the official positions of several bandits recruited by Qingzhou to contain them slightly.

Considering the reaction of the princes of Yuzhou and the imperial court, Gao Shun planned to send Huang Long and Sima Ju to lead 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to garrison them, whose main responsibility was to maintain local order and law and order, and to undertake the task of vigilance.

In this way, Yin Li of Puyang County, Huang Zhong of Jiyin County, and Tai Shici of Lu State were connected in a diagonal line, which could not only defend against Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang, but also defend against the warlords in Yuzhou, and also support Xuzhou in time; Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Dongwuyang City, Dongxian County, was only separated from Yanzhou by the Yellow River, and could provide support at any time; Qingzhou has a large army stationed in Licheng County, and the distance is not far, and Yanzhou's defense is impregnable.

At the same time, Gao Shun made adjustments to the administrative divisions.

The territory north of the Yellow River in Yanzhou was all assigned to the East County, and the East County was placed under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.

The territory south of the Yellow River in Dongjun was carved out, and the counties east of Puyang City were divided into Jiyin County, Dongping Kingdom and Jibei Kingdom respectively, so that the three counties all had ferries along the Yellow River to facilitate trade.

Puyang City, as well as Baima County and Yan County to the west, Lihu County to Jiyin County, Fengqiu County to the west of Chenliu County, Pingqiu County and Sujube County to the north, a total of eight counties, constitute Puyang County, the county is governed in Puyang City, under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou.

Taishan County was placed under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou.

In order to facilitate defense, the state of Lu was placed under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, and at the same time, the county of Shanyang County and the county of Nanpingyang were placed under the jurisdiction of the state of Lu.

Gaoping County, Huling County and Fanghe County of Shanyang County were assigned to Renchengguo; The single father county and Chengwu county of Jiyin County were placed under the jurisdiction of Shanyang County;

Yanzhou has a total of four counties and four countries; The Han Dynasty is still there, and the vassal states that have been feuded cannot be revoked, but the treatment enjoyed by the king is greatly reduced, and the duties of the Xiangguo are similar to those of the Taishou.

The station of the Department of Thorn History was adjusted to Dingtao County, Jiyin County; In order to facilitate management, the officials of the four new counties, such as the Taishou, the county commander, the county commander, and the county lieutenant, are all served by system personnel; The ministers and chiefs of the former Shikoku remain unchanged.

Dingtao "choke (Heshui, ancient Daze Heze), Ji (Jishui, ancient Jishui through Taoqiu north, so Dingtao is also known as Jiyin) to the point, according to Huai, Xu, Ning, Wei, Yan, Zhao spine", has always been the Central Plains region of the famous water and land transportation center, economic metropolis and military strategic place, enjoy the reputation of "in the world"; Dingtao County has flat terrain, fertile land, abundant water resources, and very developed agriculture and animal husbandry; As a state office, it has more advantages than Changyi.

After signing the agreement, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Li Ru to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of the scholars and local tyrants in the three counties of Yanzhou after looting, and never leave any trouble.

Shanyang County Taishou Changfeng has nowhere to go, so he can only choose to return to Luoyang and return to the sequence under the jurisdiction of Niu Fu; Jiyin County was too honest and thought about it for a long time, and chose to continue to follow Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo had money and food, and immediately adopted Li Ru's suggestion and formed a heavy infantry; Lu Yi's brilliant achievements in Liangzhou made Dong Zhuo envious, if he had heavy infantry, it would be much smoother to attack the city when he went south; It's just that his heavy armor is limited, and he looted all the treasury of the imperial court, and he only got 1,200 pays, plus some light armor, enough to get together 2,000 people, which is better than nothing.

However, this made Niu Fu very happy, and in the face of the unfought enemies in the south, he believed that this hoplite was absolutely invincible and could accomplish tasks that cavalry and ordinary infantry could not accomplish.

The officers and soldiers under Gao Shun's jurisdiction were stationed in Yanzhou one after another, taking over the government and defense, which shocked several warlords in Yuzhou, and unanimously believed that the wolf was coming.

Cao Cao and Gongsun Gong secretly rejoiced that they had a good relationship with Gao Shun's forces in advance, and if Gao Shun was interested, they could completely take refuge in Gao Shun.

Gongsun Zan was very annoyed, he was driven away from Wei County, Jizhou, and now he has just gained a foothold in Yuzhou, and he has not yet shown his skills, and Gao Shun's forces have caught up again, and there is absolutely no good result with such a person as a neighbor.

Chen Wang Liu Chong and Yuan Shao feel similar, full of hostility towards Gao Shun, they think that Gao Shun is a sanctimonious hypocrite, who keeps saying that he does not interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, but now he is sending a large army to take over Yanzhou, his so-called loyalty, patriotism, and love for the people are all fake, and it is true to chase the Central Plains, Gao Shun is the biggest careerist in the world, and he is their natural enemy, and the harm is more serious than Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo is bad and direct.

Gao Shun was unwilling to start a war with the Central Plains princes in advance, did not care about their thoughts, and instructed Xi Zhicai, Fang Liang and Cheng Li not to cause trouble, but not to be afraid of things, if the other party took the initiative to provoke, he would fight to the death, but at present, he did not occupy the territory of Yuzhou and subdued them as a principle.

Since it is expected that Dong Zhuo will be unable to escape, he must lay out in the south in advance, which is the focus of his next development, one is to secretly strengthen the strength of Lu Su, and the other is that he is ready to secretly go to Huiji County, so that Qin Guan can develop the Yellow Turban Army there, strive to occupy the Jiangnan region, and block Dong Zhuo's escape route.
