Chapter 18 The Battle of Liangzhou
Huang Shao and the four were still unknown young generals in the Yellow Turban at this time, far less majestic than the more than 10,000 people who later alone.
Only 2,000 people were willing to leave with him, half of whom were still their families. Only Liu Bi left with the rest of the men and horses, and Li Yuan left some food in order to reassure Huang Shao and them.
He looked at Dian Wei and He Man, who were nine feet tall, on the left and right, and he was indescribably proud, he turned his head and said to He Man: "He Man, why don't you use a long knife?" β
He Man blurted out: "This iron rod was snatched up, and it was very easy to use, killing officers and soldiers, and smashing a head." β
Li Yuan smiled and said, "You are also an officer and soldier now, and you can't say anything about it in the future." β
He Man grinned, even uglier.
"The iron rod is still effective against people who are not high in martial arts, but it is much less lethal against masters, so you can use a long knife in the future." Li Yuan commanded.
"I listen to adults." Homan agreed.
All the way is mighty, passing through the new city, Luoyang, passing through the ancient city, appreciating the Qin Shihan Valley, sighing Han Lixiongguan. Go west along the Yellow River to the old capital of Chang'an. Only hate to learn shallowly, and for a while poetry turned into a leisurely emotion for the great rivers and mountains.
Chen Cang misses Hao Zhao, and Tianshui sighs Jiang Wei.
In the first month of 185 AD, which lasted more than two months and traveled more than 2,000 miles, Li Yuan finally came to Ji County, Hanyang County, Liangzhou.
At this time, the situation in Liangzhou can be described as changing rapidly, the thieves are smart, and they captured Liangzhou celebrities Bian Yun and Han Yue, coerced to attack Jincheng, killed Taishou Chen Yi, and coerced the two to join the gang. The two were afraid of being wanted, so Bian Yun changed his name to Bian Zhang, and Han Yue changed his name to Han Sui.
The former Liangzhou assassin Shi Zuochang was dismissed for corruption, and the successor Song Xiao consulted Shi Gaixun, the magistrate of Hanyang County, and wanted to change the enemy with filial piety, but Gai Xun opposed it. This guy also informed the imperial court that he was scolded by Liu Hong, and he was removed from his post on the grounds that it was unfavorable to quell the rebellion, and Yang Yong took over as the assassin of Liangzhou. And Gai Xun then made meritorious contributions in the resistance to the Qiang people, and was named the Taishou of Hanyang County.
His soldiers and horses and his family totaled more than 3,500 people, and they were ordered to move slowly, and Li Yuan, under the escort of Dian Wei and He Man, rode away.
Under the city, the Taishou Gaixun of Hanyang County led a cadre of officials to greet him, and when he saw three people and three horsemen coming, the crowd was in a commotion. It is no wonder that after several battles, there was a shortage of soldiers and horses, and the people in the city were panicked.
After waiting for two months, the reinforcements arrived, and the heroes who participated in the payment of the yellow scarf, how could they be unhappy.
Ji County is located in the middle of the Wei River, and the two banks are impacted by the plain, and the scenery is beautiful.
Li Yuan dismounted and walked more than ten meters away, and everyone saw the two tower-like fierce men behind him, and they were even more relieved of him.
Li Yuan was full of smiles, and when he arrived in front of him, he made a circle and said happily: "Thank you for waiting." β
"May I ask who is Gai Taishou?" Li Yuan inquired.
Although Gai Xun was only forty-five years old, he had a lot of folds on his face, a thin face, three locks of beard, his body was like a green pine, and his voice was like a clear spring. β
Li Yuan immediately bowed and said: "The last general has heard the name of the adult early, and seeing you today is enough to comfort your life." β
Gai Chang hugged him with a smile and asked, "Who are these two strong men?" β
Li Yuan made an introduction gesture and said, "This is my second brother Dian Wei, the word is righteous." This is my new recruit of brave generals, Runan Homan. β
The two saluted, Gai Chang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Lord Thorn Shi is in the city, come with me to meet you." β
Taishou personally greeted Li Yuan and gave Li Yuan enough face, and he had nothing to do.
Most of the counties such as Beidi County, Anding County, Jincheng County, and Longxi County in Liangzhou have fallen, so they have to set up their administrative offices in Hanyang County.
Everyone laughed and laughed all the way, and the people on both sides of the street watched one after another, and the most eye-catching were the two nine-foot men.
The administrative office was set up in the Taishou Mansion, and most of the rest of the people were sent to the front of the mansion, and most of them retreated, leaving only the chief secretary and other subordinate officials.
When I arrived at the council hall, I saw a little old man lying on his desk lamenting, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and saw that it was Gai Xun's sad face that was slightly dissipated.
I saw three strangers come in again, and knew that it was the new Sima Li Yuan from the other department.
Li Yuan bowed and said, "Sima Li Yuan of the other department, meet Master Assassin Shi." β
Yang Yong left the case and helped him up, and said, "In the future, I will rely on Li Sima more." β
"The last general should do his best to repay the emperor's kindness." Li Yuan gave another salute.
Everyone sat down, and Yang Yong asked: "Now that the morale of the traitors is booming, can you have a way to break the enemy?" β
Everyone was silent, it seemed to be a clichΓ©, there was nothing new, and Li Yuan was not familiar with the situation when he first came, and he didn't dare to speak casually.
After everyone talked for a while, they asked someone to prepare wine and food, and during the banquet, you said a word, I said, and the battle situation in Liangzhou understood seven or eight points.
"The last general brought 2,500 soldiers and horses this time, and another 1,000 are the families of the soldiers, and I hope you will take care of them." Li Yuan brought the wine cups to him one by one, and then drank them.
Even if the people are dissatisfied, they must be stuffed into their stomachs, and no one is stupid.
Li Yuan went out of the mansion and was engaged in Kong Chang and Xin Zeng, waiting for dispatch.
The family was brought into the city, and the soldiers became mobile troops and did not participate in the defense of the city, so that Hanyang's soldiers and horses approached 8,000, and the defense was more than enough.
He divided the 2,500 people into five teams, Dian Wei, You Cao, He Man, Huang Shao, and He Yi each led 500 people.
Late at night, got off the line and cooked some meals.
Or browse the forums, and the titles are eye-catching.
"There is a master for evil, it is Sima Li Yuan of other departments."
There was a cry below. Some even asked him to quit sex.
"Chen De made meritorious contributions, but he was not promoted, and he turned against the Ten Standing Attendants."
"There are legions of perverts in various places, specializing in molesting female players."
"I had a very pleasant conversation with Cao Apu, and I was convinced."
"Russell has no hope of promotion, and wants to bribe the Ten Standing Servants to buy officials and quarrel with the Ten Standing Servants."
"There are more than one million players in Jiaozhou, and the war has begun."
"There are three million players in Youzhou, and there is friction with the Goryeo, Wuhuan, Xianbei and other clans."
"According to official statistics, five million players died, half of whom starved."
The most eye-catching thing is the official announcement that after Dong Zhuo's death, no new players will be allowed to enter, so as not to cause an imbalance of snobbery.
The game warehouse is still being upgraded, and the main core materials are still taken from outer space.
After browsing, Li Yuan took a shower and went to sleep in the game warehouse.
For several days, Li Yuan shuttled between patrols and Yang Yong's side, and this situation lasted until March.
Li Yuan stood at the head of the city, and there were many refugees who had caused the war in his sight, and Hanyang County was safer than other counties. γ
The situation in Liangzhou is very unsatisfactory, as soon as there is a war, there will be smoke everywhere, big and small thieves, taking advantage of the situation to rise up, grabbing grain and money, and they are very busy.
Ji County is in the middle of the Weishui River, the county is a small plain formed by the impact of the Weishui, suitable for farming, but in the spring of March, there is only Lingding green on the plain.
In February, a fire broke out in the capital, and the South Palace was burned down, and Liu Hong intended to rebuild a more magnificent South Palace. The Ten Standing Servants seized the opportunity to persuade them to re-mint money and increase taxes. The counties also had to provide stones, timber, etc., and the money given was not enough for the freight, and the difference could only be squeezed from the common people; He who has no land will squeeze your house; He who has no house will take away your wife; He who has no wife, he will take your flesh and blood; There were many complaints for a while, and the earth hid corpses and bones, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a hell on earth.
