Chapter 184: Husband and Wife Reunited
The smoke choked the advisers, and they couldn't sit still in the face of such a fire, and the large number of refugees was also a huge pressure for them.
Changshi Geng Wu said: "My lord, since these people are all from Hanoi, when the fire is extinguished, just let them go back to Hanoi." We don't have to worry about the trouble caused by Guo Zihong. β
Han Fu was born in the Yingchuan Han clan and is also a disciple of a high family, so the first thing he thought of was his own face. Now that Yuan Shao is too shou to be the leader of the alliance, he can only be responsible for transporting grain in a state, and he is a little unhappy. But he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, and most of the people under him support this war, so he has no choice but to do so. At this time, he was absolutely unwilling to take over the 100,000 displaced people again.
"Then send someone to take care of them first. After two days, the fire was extinguished and rushed back, just in time to write an article on this matter to crusade against Guo Zihong! β
"My lord, don't think about it." Geng Wu pursed his lips and persuaded: "Comparing words with Guo Zihong, we are only afraid that we will lose face." β
Han Fu touched his bare forehead and said, "That'...... Then forget it. β
"My lord, these outcasts cannot be expelled!" The cavalry lieutenant was frustrated, with a righteous face, and admonished: "My lord, this is a great time to win the trust of the world!" If you want to win over Yuan Benchu, it's today! β
Hearing that he could overshadow Yuan Shao, Han Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned sideways to persuade him, urging, "Say it quickly." β
He shook his sleeves, straightened his throat, and said loudly: "Since the Yellow Turban caused the disaster, the Central Plains has been full of displaced people, and there are countless displaced people, how can it be that there are 100,000? If the lord drives them all away, he is afraid that he will be spurned by the whole world. If the lord settles these 100,000 people properly, then the people of the world will know that the lord is a benevolent king, and he will work tirelessly to serve the lord. In this way, the lord can become famous all over the world, ten times better than Yuan Benchu! β
"Oops." Although Han Fu really hoped to surpass Yuan Shao, he hoped that he could take care of something less, so he waved his hand again and again: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate!" That's 100,000 people, how did they settle it? β
"Yes!" Frustrated with confidence, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and said: "The lord can order the displaced people to settle in the fields." Since the Yellow Turban, many fields in Jizhou have been deserted, so it is better to hand over these ownerless fields to the displaced people for cultivation. In this way, Jizhou will have a bumper harvest next year! Displaced people can also be used as soldiers. Please think about it, next year you will not only get countless grains, but also hundreds of thousands of troops, and the will of the people of the world. If so, the lord will be able to stabilize the country and achieve the great cause of Zhou Gong! β
"Hmm......" Han Fu rubbed his hands and muttered, "It's a cold day, oops, where is the brazier?" β
The servant hurriedly brought the brazier, Han Fu roasted the fire, looked satisfied, and said happily: "Captain, what did you just say?" β
Geng Wu preemptively said: "Lord, Lord Fu wants you to open a warehouse and release grain." β
"How is this possible?" Han Fu shook his head like a drum, and said again and again: "This official shoulders the heavy responsibility of supplying grain and grass to the allied forces, and now he is at a critical juncture to discuss Dong, how can he open a warehouse and release grain indiscriminately?" The matter will be handled by Geng Wu. β
Geng Wu said proudly: "Thank you, lord." β
Frustrated, he shook his sleeves and left the table.
Speaking of Jingzhou, Sun Jian got Yuan Shu's order, waved his army north, and fought with Liu Biaojun in Xiangyang! The two sides have been deadlocked for more than 10 days, and it is still difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom.
At this time, Cai Yan ordered Long San to take Huang Yueying and go to visit Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu. Huang Yueying and Huang Zu are of the same clan, and their blood relationship has not yet been released, so they are relatively close. But the purpose of this trip was not only to persuade Huang Zu, but also to let Huang Chengyan, who was in Xiangyang, come forward to persuade Liu Biao.
When Huang Zu saw Huang Yueying, he said a few words of concern, and naturally understood the purpose of Long San's coming here. asked: "Now that General Guo has surrendered to Dong Thief and acted against the sky, you still have to travel thousands of miles to defect?" β
Long San said awe-inspiringly: "Virtuous ministers do not choose two masters, no matter what the road ahead, our army must join the lord!" β
Huang Zhong sighed in his heart, in this troubled era, if there is such a group of generals who can fight well and swear allegiance to the death, Guo Yi will definitely be able to do a career. He also asked: "If you go here, you will inevitably encounter Yuan Highway, who is the backbone of the anti-Dong coalition army, how can you be allowed to pass?" β
Long San chuckled and said, "Isn't this just the right thing to relieve Liu Jingzhou's urgent need?" β
Indeed, Liu Biao at this time can be said to be enemies on three sides, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, which are not negotiable, they will definitely fight over, and may even take Jingzhou. In comparison, Long San's side just wants to pass by, and he has no plans for Jingzhou.
Huang Zu thought for a long time, looked at Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, do you want to go home?" β
Huang Yueying blinked and said with a smile: "Please ask the clan uncle to repay her father, my daughter is not filial, and she can't be happy on her knees." I'm going with General Guo, he needs my skills. β
"The female university is not staying!" Huang Zu smiled and sighed, and said, "But you still have to meet your father, otherwise I won't be able to get along." β
Huang Yueying nodded, "Okay." β
Huang Zu wrote a letter and sent it back to Jingzhou quickly, but not to Liu Biao, but to Huang Chengyan.
When Huang Chengyan saw the letter, he immediately rushed to Liu Biao's mansion and admonished: "My lord, Guo Yijun of Jiangxia has been in trouble for a long time. It's better to let them go and let them go to Nanyang to fight with Yuan Highway, in this way, the two tigers will fight, and the general will have a victory. β
Seeing Huang Chengyan say good things, Liu Biao knew what was going on with his toes, but he also needed this opportunity, so that he could use this as a condition to talk to the Huang family.
"When I took office as a new official, I encountered an eventful time, and I was really ashamed of the people. Now that there are internal and external troubles, where can we take care of so much? β
Huang Chengyan immediately said: "I heard that the general is currently in widowhood, and there happens to be a young lady to be married in my house, who can be matched with the general." In the matter of Jingzhou, I will fully support the general. β
"Oh." Liu Biao laughed heartily and said, "In this case, this matter depends on Mr. Huang." β
"Thank you, General." Huang Chengyan thanked him first.
Liu Biao said again: "It's better to let Sun Wentai go too." β
Outside the city, Sun Jian met with Liu Biao's envoy and obtained a certificate that could be passed.
Sun Jian's face was gloomy, a smile squeezed out of the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Liu Jingzhou also let Guo Yijun go?" β
The envoy's face changed for a moment, and he quickly denied: "I don't know, little one." β
"Thank you Lord Liu for me first." Sun Jian basically knew it in his heart, and at the same time thought of a plan, and ordered: "Cheng Pu, tomorrow you will lead the army as the vanguard." β
"No."
After getting the pass, Cai Yan immediately led the army north. All the way to Xiangyang, on the dock, Huang Yueying and Huang Chengyan father and daughter met. The idlers and others are far away, so let the two of them catch up and talk.
Liu Biao stood on the city wall and looked at Guo Yijun's military appearance, and sighed again and again: "The genius of the world, the genius of the world!" β
Cai Mao is used to it now, Guo Yi does have a set of military training, and any kind of goods can be trained to be majestic and majestic. But fighting a war is not something that can be won by training troops alone, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of surrendering Dong Zhuo. "The general doesn't have to worry too much, after I pacify Jingzhou, I can go north to the Central Plains and plot the world."
Now you speak nicely. Liu Biao secretly scolded in his heart, if it weren't for your yang and yin, a little Sun Jian, with less than 3,000 people, could kill outside Xiangyang City? Say anything about going north to the Central Plains, thank God that Lao Tzu can hold the broken place of Jingzhou!
In this operation, Cai Yan also played a cautious trick, delaying the time of the march, reducing the speed, and widening the distance between him and Sun Jian. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have to go to Dong, this is a matter of face for these famous families, before everyone tries to meet the poor dagger, they will definitely make a good posture, and they will never continue to entangle in Jingzhou.
Sure enough, three days later, when Cai Yan arrived in Wancheng, Yuan Shu and the others had already set off for Chenliu. Cai Yan no longer stayed, and immediately accelerated his march, marching three hundred miles in one day and one night, and arrived outside Yangzhai City.
When Yang Zhai got the news, he had already closed his door and hung up the exemption card. Cai Yan didn't stir up trouble either, and went directly to Yangcheng. This place is currently under Dong Zhuo's control.
Cai Yan wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo in the name of his father Cai Yong. Indicate your intentions and hope to be released.
And Cai Yan's letter arrived in Ruoyang at the same time, as well as Guo Yi's letter, the content of which is also hoping that Dong Zhuo can release them, so that their husband and wife can reunite and become adults.
Dong Zhuo spread his hands, threw the letter on the table, and asked Li Ru, "How is it good?" β
Guo Yi now has 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, as well as more than 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, plus the high level of generals under his command, it is more than enough to hold Hanoi. Cai Yan brought more than 8,000 people, including more than 4,000 elite soldiers, and accompanied Guo Yi's entire team in Yangzhou, which is a team that can level a state, build a city, and let the people of Yangzhou return to their hearts within a year!
If Guo Yi gets it, it will be tantamount to letting him move Yangzhou to Hanoi! The seriousness of this kind of consequence, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to think about it at all!
Li Ru said categorically: "Let go!" β
Dong Zhuo scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, "Are you stupid?!" β
Li Ru said resolutely: "The reunion of husband and wife is an axiom in the world, and the lord has no reason to stop it." But we can also reduce their troops, reduce their military supplies, and detain all those craftsmen in Luoyang, so that most of the threat can be removed. β
"Really?" Dong Zhuo always felt uneasy, Guo Yi and him were old acquaintances, and they knew each other very well how many brushes they had.
Li Ru nodded, "Seriously! Guo Yi's burning of Hanoi has long been unpopular. As long as we control the grain and grass, so that he can not continue, he will suffer from the enemy on his back and abdomen, internal and external troubles, and he will not be able to set off the wind and waves. When the traitors in Shandong are pacified, the lord will send a general to exterminate them. β
"Good. Then do as you say. β
Cai Yan also received a letter from Guo Yi, asking her to try her best to meet Dong Zhuo's request, reduce the number of soldiers, detain craftsmen, and so on. The top priority is to reunite the husband and wife, so that he has no worries.
Cai Yan slapped the letter on the table and said loudly: "The husband said very clearly, do what Dong Zhuo said!" β
The red-faced Ryuzo and Pang De stopped at this time, glared at each other quite unconvinced, and stopped talking.
The craftsmen were all included in the Jiangzuo Temple, and the number of soldiers was reduced by more than 5,000 and merged into Dong Zhuo's army. Some other minor officials were also summoned to the imperial court and promoted them to several ranks.
When Guo Yi saw Cai Yan in Wen County, he only saw 3,000 soldiers and horses.
