Speaking of Yuan Shang leading the army to crusade against Shangdang County, we have to talk about Shangdang guarding Zhang Yang first, as one of the eighteen princes who fought against Dong at the beginning, Zhang Yang's position was not firm, at first he opposed Dong Zhuo, and later after Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu became a general, and Zhang Yang was attached to Lu Bu because he had an old relationship with Lu Bu.

There are also reasons for Gao Shun to merge the state, after Gao Shun served as the pastor of the state, the nine counties of the state were not completely attached to Gao Shun, and several counties in the north of the state, such as Wuyuan County, Shuofang County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, and Dingxiang County have basically been in his own hands.

Guo Wen, the county warden of Wuyuan County, and Guo Yi, the father of Guo Huai, the county warden of Yanmen County, also expressed goodwill to Gao Shun, but the Shangjun, Shangdang County, Xihe County and Taiyuan County in the south disobeyed Gao Shun's orders.

It stands to reason that the state is located in Jinyang, Taiyuan County, but Gao Shun was unable to enter Taiyuan County, and later Lu Bu ordered to destroy the nine clans of Wang Yun, Gao Shun sent Guan Yu to take the opportunity to kill Taiyuan County, capture all the children of the Wang family in Qi County, and send them to Chang'an, Taiyuan County fell into the hands of Gao Shun, and then Gao Shun moved the state pastoral mansion to Jinyang.

It was not for nothing that Gao Shun moved the state pastoral government to Jinyang, first of all, it was aimed at the Qianghu of Shangjun, who began to ravage Shangjun from the time of Emperor Ling, and later almost all the counties of Shangjun were occupied by Qianghu, and most of the people fled to Xihe County or Taiyuan County.

After Gao Shun arrived in Jinyang, the first thing he did was to appoint Guan Yu as the county guard of Shangjun, and ordered him to send troops to Qianghu, so as to restore the livelihood of Shangjun.

The Du family is a big family in Xihe County, and he appointed Du Ji as the guard of Xihe County, in fact, in order to let Xihe County be attached, Du Ji really lived up to his expectations, and spent three years to develop Xihe County into a rich people, and at the same time, he also provided Guan Yu with a large amount of grain and grass funding.

After Guan Yu served as the county guard of Xihe, he broke through and used several capable young generals, the first is Guo Huai, the son of Guo Yi, Guo Huai fought bravely, and every battle must be the first, and was deeply appreciated by Guan Yu, the second is Linghu Shao, Linghu Shao is a native of Taiyuan, after Gao Shun arrived in Jinyang, he reused local celebrities, and Ling Hu Shao's father entered the state pastor's office, and he himself served in the army under Guan Yu.

There is another person is Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao is also a native of Taiyuan, originally served in the Taiyuan County Army, and later when Guan Yu rectified the Taiyuan County Army, he discovered this talent.

Under Guan Yu's governance, the population of Shangjun has gradually been enriched, and some of the people's strength has been restored, and many people who originally moved out couldn't help but return to their hometowns, after all, their homeland is difficult to leave.

Gao Shun has used a lot of local clans since he served as the governor of the state, including the Jinyang Wang clan, the Wuyuan Guo clan, the Yanmen Guo clan, the Taiyuan Wen clan, the Taiyuan Linghu clan, the Xihe Du clan, etc., a large number of talented and knowledgeable celebrities or served in the state pastor's office, or became a party chief official in the county.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Rou and Wang Ze brothers, although the Jinyang Wang clan and the Qixian Wang clan both belong to the Taiyuan Wang clan, they are not within the scope of the nine clans, Wang Yun was destroyed by the nine clans, and it has no impact on the Jinyang Wang clan, Wang Rou and Wang Ze were originally a big man, and they were later dismissed from Luoyang, and it is impossible for Gao Shun not to reuse such a talent.

Wang Rou is now the Taishou of Shuofang County, Wang Zenai is the Taishou of Dingxiang County, and Wang Wei, who was jealous of Su Chen, has now become a county leader.

Taiyuan Wengong served as Jinan Taishou in the early years, and later was dismissed and returned to his hometown because of the war, Gao Shun heard about this person's talent, he appointed him as the county guard of Yunzhong County, although Yunzhong County has not been Xianbei raging in these years, but the people's livelihood has withered, most of the population has gone to Youzhou, there is no population, and the people's livelihood will naturally not develop.

The only one of the nine counties in Bingzhou that is not yet in the hands of Gao Shun is Shangdang County, he is unknown, Shangdang County is too guarded by Zhang Yang and Lu Bu to have the old, and has been attached to the Western Han Dynasty, even if he wants to send troops, he can't, so he can only maintain the status quo.

This time Yuan Shang united with Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang to send troops to Shangdang County, Gao Shun suddenly felt that the time had come, he recruited Guan Yu, Sun Wei and other henchmen and generals and strategists, and discussed: "This time Yuan Shang and Wang Kuang attacked Shangdang County, it may be an opportunity for us, if there is no support from us, Zhang Yang is by no means the opponent of Yuan Shang and Wang Kuang, not to mention that there is also a white wave thief Guo Tai who took the opportunity to make profits, so Zhang Yang's defeat is a matter of time sooner or later, I convened everyone to discuss, how to use Yuan Shang's troops to recover Shangdang County in our hands, Contribute to the great cause of the Lord. ”

Guan Yu and the others nodded approvingly after hearing this, although they were far away, but their loyalty to Su Chen could not be doubted, Sun Wei first said: "Zhou Mu, we might as well wait for them to be defeated, and then send troops to rescue, so that the division is famous, and can justifiably take Shangdang County into the bag, and kill Zhang Yang with Yuan Shang's knife, so as to prevent future troubles." ”

Guan Yu was a little unbearable after hearing this, but for the sake of the great cause of the lord, he had to echo and said: "What Mr. Sun said is very true, we can send troops to rescue the party at the right time, but we still need to guard against Lu Bu in Chang'an, if Lu Bu sends troops to participate in this matter, then the situation will be different." ”

"Well, I understand what Yun Chang means, I will pay attention to the movements on the Chang'an side, Lu Bu may not have the energy to care about our affairs now, he is now at war with Ma Teng."

"That's good!"

After several people discussed, Sun Wei stayed alone and said: "Zhou Mu, the lord has sent news that he will use troops in Qingzhou soon, hoping that we can contain the troops in Jizhou, especially Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and prevent Gao Gan from sending troops to interfere in Qingzhou." ”

Hearing this, Gao Shun asked, "What are your good plans?" ”

Sun Wei already had a draft in his heart, and said directly: "After we recover the party, we will continue to send troops to Hanoi, and it is justified to attack Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to support at that time, he will definitely not send troops from Luoyang, he will definitely send troops from Jizhou, and may even let Yuan Xi directly attack Yanmen and other places, so we may face preparations for fighting on both sides, and our troops are somewhat insufficient." ”

Now there are 150,000 of the most elite soldiers under Gao Shun, including 30,000 cavalry in Yunying, and a total of 80,000 soldiers in the Duliao General's Mansion, all in the hands of Guan Yu, Gao Shun has 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and later collected 40,000 county soldiers to train into an army, so now there are 150,000 troops.

Half of the 150,000 troops were used to prevent the Qianghu and deter the Xiongnu, and they could not be moved lightly, so he could only mobilize 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses.

Gao Shun was worried about this, but Sun Wei said again: "The state pastor doesn't have to worry, there is a ready-made army right now, if we make good use of it, this army will not be able to make a difference." ”

"You mean..."Gao Shun had a faint guess in his heart, "You're talking about the white wave thief Guo Tai?" ”

"Exactly!" Sun Wei replied confidently, "The white wave thieves see profit and forget their righteousness, let's bribe money, we can't buy this bandit, although these people are not strong in combat, they can be extremely destructive, if they break into Jizhou, it will become a disaster in Jizhou, and even the black mountain thieves will take the opportunity to make trouble, Yuan Shao is only afraid that his head will be big at that time, where do he still have the heart to cause chaos to the lord." ”

When Gao Shun heard this strategy, he frowned and did not express his position immediately.
