Chapter 19: The First Year of Jian'an (1)
Cai Yong died at the hands of Wang Yun, and Cai Yan was homeless, so he had to stay in the army for the time being, return to Hongnong with the army, and then make a decision.
After more than ten days of marching, the army crossed Hangu Pass into Hongnong County, passed through Shaanxi County, and arrived at Hongnong, the capital of Hongnong County. Dong Zhuo's tyranny, the unscrupulous looting and destruction of the Xiliang army, coupled with years of warfare, Hongnong County is only a little better than Yin, Henan, where Luoyang is located, the population loss is serious, the fields are barren, and traces of being scorched by fire can be seen everywhere.
Arrived at Hongnong, Yang Shuo immediately sent troops to occupy Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Tongguan, Hongnong to the only ferry in the state Maojindu, the Yellow River in the Hetao area turns south in Hongnong sharp turn east into the sea, Hongnong is the "several" shape in the lower right corner of the bend, the water is very urgent, Maojindu has also become the only passage on the north and south banks of Hongnong County, as long as these four places are firmly occupied, Hongnong County is solid.
Seeing that Yang Shuo was showing his strength in Hongnong and there was no sign of going to Hedong, Xu Huang was anxious, "What does the second son mean?" ”
"Komeito is here?" put down the bamboo slip and beckoned Xu Huang, "Come and sit!" ”
Before his butt could sit firmly, Xu Huang hurriedly asked, "Isn't Gongzi going to Hedong, why did he stay in Hongnong and stagnate?" ”
"Compared with Hedong, Hongnong extends in all directions, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is more suitable for development, and I want to stay here," Yang Shuo said.
Could it be that the second prince thinks that returning to Hedong will make him give up the position of the commander of the army, so he wants to stay in Hongnong? Xu Huang couldn't help but think that after glancing at Yang Shuo, who was calm, Xu Huang hesitated and said, "Didn't you discuss with your son before that you wanted to go to Hedong, why did you suddenly change your strategy?" ”
From the moment Xu Huang came in, Yang Shuo understood the purpose of his trip, and said calmly: "I want Hongnong, I want Hedong, and I don't dare to forget the bet between you and me!" ”
"This...", Yang Shuo said that he was careful in his heart, and a touch of red flashed on Xu Huang's dark face, and he was about to make a defense.
Yang Shuo waved his hand and motioned for him to stop: "I plan to send the general to command 10,000 soldiers and horses to Hedong, one is to occupy Hedong, and the other is to fulfill the bet between you and me."
After that, he looked at Xu Huang, "I don't know what the general wants?" ”
"This?" Xu Huang hesitated, but also admired Yang Shuo's mind. Since Qin Qiong appeared, Xu Huang gradually found that he began to lose the control of the army, and with the arrival of Yang Zaixing, Master Father Yan, and Shi Jin, the control of the army completely left him, and to this day, without Yang Shuo's consent, he did not want to mobilize a single soldier.
Yang Shuo's small movements, Xu Huang didn't find it, but he didn't block it, he wanted to see what surprises Yang Shuo could give him, today it seems beyond his imagination, Yang Shuo's ability is strong and his ambition is unprecedented, he must be a promising master.
It's just that all this is still to be discussed before I see Yang Yao.
If Yang Yao couldn't support the mud on the wall, no matter what, he Xu Huang would have to fight for that responsibility after fighting for his life.
And today, Yang Shuo knew that he Xu Huang had other ideas, but he still did not hesitate to allocate half of his troops, this bearing, this mind made him admire!
"The general is not surprised!" Yang Shuo stretched out his hand again to stop Xu Huang's words to his mouth, and his bright eyes revealed a thick look, "Because in my opinion, I am the only one in this world who can be your Xu Gongming's lord!"
Cao Cao can't! Yang Yao is even worse! ”
Xu Huang didn't know how to leave Yang Shuo, he only knew that he took the 10,000 soldiers and horses given to him by Yang Shuo to cross Maojindu, march towards the east of the river, and cross the turbulent Yellow River, which is flooded with layers of waves, Xu Huang's mind still echoes Yang Shuo's domineering words, "I am the only one in this world who can be your lord Xu Gongming!" ”
Xu Huang left, Yang Shuo led the Hongnong County Taishou, and appointed the main father Yan as the county governor, Qin Qiong and Yang Zaixing as the captains, and Shi Jin as the captains. The main father was responsible for rectifying government affairs, lightly taxing and leviing taxes, persuading farmers to pay mulberry, settling the displaced people, and cultivating wasteland. Qin Qiong was responsible for the training of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and strengthening the defense of Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Tongguan and Maojindu, Yang Zaixing was responsible for the training of 1,000 cavalry, and Shi Jin selected 200 soldiers in the army as Yang Shuo's personal guards to be responsible for their safety. The four of them performed their duties in an orderly manner, and Hongnong County gradually showed a thriving and vibrant scene, and everything was developing in a good direction.
After Xu Huang occupied Hedong, he was also like Yang Shuo, dividing his troops to capture the county seats, and Yang Shuo had no news except for Xu Huang's report from Hedong.
Hedong, Yang Shuo didn't have time to care, he believed in Xu Huang, and even more in his own strength.
For today's plan, we must first build a good Hongnong County, which is the foundation for him to truly become his own roots.
In the autumn of 196 AD, Yang Feng, the leader of the white wave thieves, was killed by Han Xian, his son Yang Shuo commanded the army to occupy Hongnong, and his general Xu Huang occupied Hedong, the original Dong Zhuo's general Zhang Ji led troops to attack Wancheng, and his nephew Zhang Xiu took over to occupy Wancheng, and finally Zhang Xiu and Liu expressed an agreement to share Cao Cao. The Son of Heaven moved to Xuchang, set the capital of Xuchang, changed the five years of Chuping to the first year of Jian'an, Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xiaopei, took advantage of Liu Bei's attack on Yuan Shu and took the opportunity to seize Xuzhou.
In Youzhou, Hebei, Gongsun Chan sunset on the West Mountain, retreated one after another, trapped in Yijing, and the majestic White Horse General gradually became a thing of the past.
This year, he was eight feet long, with a majestic face, and Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the god of war on a white horse, left Gongsun Chan and returned to his hometown Changshan for about seven years because of the death of his brother, and now he has also begun to go south.
