Chapter 122: Yizhou

Cao Degang finished arranging the development direction of Hanzhong County this year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info has a special guest, Spell.

Spell's existence is kept in the best possible way. The only people in the entire Hanzhong County who knew about Spice were Cao De and Xiahou Yuan. The black pearl was established by Xiahou Yuan. But later, due to lack of manpower, Cao De could only pull Xiahou Yuan out. Under the recommendation of Xiahou Yuan, Cao De chose a thief to take on the responsibility of the Black Pearl.

Later, in the battle against the Yellow Turban Army, the Black Pearl did give Cao De a lot of help.

Normally, Spicer doesn't come out of Black Pearl's camp. Even if there was any news that needed to be reported to Cao De, Spell would mostly send his men to report it.

From beginning to end, this was the second time that Spicer had come to Cao De's General's Mansion. The first time he came to Spiro, he told Cao De that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had broken out in the Central Plains. Then if Spice actually went out in person this time, it would indicate that something big had happened to Dahan again.

Cao De took the brocade that Spicer handed over, and there was only one sentence written on it.

Xuan Jian was dismembered by the Yellow Turban Liukou.

Who is Xuan Jian? Xuan Jian is currently the state pastor of Yizhou.

Yizhou is the largest of the thirteen states in Dahan, but it is not the richest. Eighty percent of the entire territory of Yizhou is full of lofty mountains. But in this Yizhou, which is occupied by mountains, there is a Chengdu Plain that is not inferior to the Central Plains. It is precisely because of the fertile land of the Chengdu Plain that Yizhou will have today's prosperity.

Throughout history, there have been countless people who have occupied Yizhou and established themselves as kings. One of the best examples is Liu Bei.

From the middle stage, the Shu State established by Liu Bei could be defeated by relying on a single Yizhou, and the Wei State, which had nearly eight states, panicked throughout the country. Of course, Zhuge Liang's role in the war against Wei is immeasurable, but how can only Zhuge Liang and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fight against the huge Wei State. Zhuge Liang's reliance is also on the hundreds of thousands of warriors in Yizhou.

Yizhou has a lot of mountainous areas, and it is not easy to get in and out, let alone the actions of the army. Yizhou is an excellent place that is easy to defend but difficult to achieve.

Throughout history, at the time of the great reunification of China, most of Yizhou was recovered at the end.

On the other hand, the most famous people who counterattacked the Central Plains with Yizhou as a base were Liu Bang and Liu Bei. The final result was that Liu Bang established the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei could only end up depressed.

It's not that Liu Bei can't do it, but Yizhou can't. No matter how rich Yizhou is, military supplies cannot be transported because of the obstacles of the lofty mountains and mountains, which are also barriers.

Liu Bang and Liu Bei compared. Liu Bei only owned one Yizhou, and Liu Bang also owned the later Sili region.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang's advice to Liu Bei was to sit in Yizhou and then occupy Jingzhou. The two roads of soldiers and horses will be able to restore the Han River and Mountain. But Jingzhou let Guan Yu lose it. In comparison, Liu Bang has a subordinate area.

Where is the Sili region, it is the base camp of the Qin State that swept through the Six Kingdoms. Now it is the economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty and the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!

For Liu Bei and Shu, it is Yizhou that is successful, and Yizhou is also defeated.

Cao De's plan at the beginning was to occupy Yizhou first. Then develop from Yizhou.

Cao De has a golden finger, so he naturally knows the ending of Liu Bei's occupation of Yizhou. Cao De believes that if Liu Bei had not willfully launched the war against Eastern Wu, and suffered great damage in the Battle of Yiling. Zhuge Liang's later Northern Expedition will not be so powerless, and it will perish even more than Eastern Wu.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's willfulness, maybe there would not have been the Jin Dynasty. Besides, the current Cao De and the future Liu Bei want to compare, Cao De has one more Hanzhong County. Don't underestimate Hanzhong County. In later history, Zhang Luke, who occupied Hanzhong, killed Liu Yan and scared Liu Zhang to death.

If it weren't for Zhang Lu who had been scaring Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang would not have asked Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, for help. Liu Bei didn't have such a good opportunity to enter Yizhou easily.

For Cao De, Yizhou must be occupied. After occupying Yizhou, Cao De first had the advantage of being undefeated in the future princes' hegemony.

Even if Cao De's attack is not smooth, hide in Yizhou and close the door, you can fight as you like. If you want to easily gnaw down on me, Cao Anbang, who owns Yizhou, you don't have a good tooth, that's no way.

Originally, Cao De was still worried about how to occupy Yizhou at the lowest cost, but now that Xuan Jian was killed, it was a good time.

Xuan Jian was an official of the Han Dynasty and a history of Yizhou assassination. In terms of position, Cao De seems to be almost at the same level as Xuan Jian. As mentioned above, the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty has no real power. The most important official of the Han Dynasty was Taishou. The officials who run the place are also too guarded. The duty of the state pastor is to monitor the Taishou for the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If there is too much observance and disobedience, favoritism, corruption and rebellion, the assassin will report to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. This is too guarded to do nothing. If he has a problem, he has to be investigated and rewarded with three rules. After the state pastor's report was typed, the Son of Heaven read it, and then sent a special person to arrest the official to the local area to investigate the Taishou who was assassinated by Shi Daxiao. If this is true, the person will be convicted by the Emperor of Heaven after he is dirty.

It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that after the Yellow Turban Uprising, the history of the assassin was changed to a state pastor. At this time, the power of the state pastor gradually increased, and he was in charge of the military and political power of a state. Therefore, there will be a situation where the princes compete for hegemony.

The current Eastern Han Dynasty is in the period of change of the rights of the state pastor and the assassin history. At first, Cao De didn't know who Yizhou's assassination history was. Liu Yan went to Yizhou later than Cao De appointed Hanzhong Taishou. It wasn't until Cao De arrived in Hanzhong County that he knew that Yizhou's assassination history was Xuanjian.

Now it seems that Xuan Jian was killed, and according to the original history, it should be time for Liu Yan to lead Yizhou Mu.

The frugal man is just the opposite of his name, he is indeed very frugal with himself, but he is not stingy with the common people. For the matter of looting finances and sucking the blood of the common people, we have always spared no effort and played tricks.

In the original history. It wasn't until someone in the DPRK and China reported Xuan Jian that Liu Hong asked Liu Yan to bring an inspection team to arrest Xuan Jian.

Liu Yan is actually not as useless as Zhuge Liang said in Longzhong. This person actually has great ambitions, but due to the mediocrity of the Han Dynasty and the desire to retire quietly in remote areas, Liu Yan originally thought about going to Jiaozhi to take office and spend the rest of his life in peace. But at this time, the report of the report of Xuan Jian went up. Someone told Liu Yan that in recent years, Yizhou has shown a harbinger of the true dragon flying into the sky. When Liu Yan heard this, his disappointed heart burned again.

Subsequently, Liu Yan asked Liu Hong to go to Yizhou, and by the way, he arrested Xuan Jian.

Liu Yan is also a relative of the Liu clan, and his talent is also ranked first among the Liu clan. As soon as Liu Hong saw that Liu Yan personally asked for his life, it was not easy to refute Liu Yan's face, so he agreed to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan happily came to the gate of Yizhou with the inspection team and learned that Xuan Jian had been killed, so the original task of arresting the official became to suppress the bandits.

Liu Yan entered Yizhou without much effort and stabilized the environment in Yizhou. People say that Nuan Baosi *** Liu Yan is no exception. At this time, Zhang Lu's beautiful mother became Liu Yan's junior, and Zhang Lu successfully became the Taishou of Hanzhong County.

And at this time, Zhang Lu was actually already the leader of the Five Doumi Sect. Coupled with the Taishou of Hanzhong County, Zhang Lu has now become a big man in black and white.

There is no end to human desires. Zhang Lu realized the beauty of power, and gradually had great ideas, so he killed Liu Yan's people and cut off the traffic. The Liu and Zhang families began to have a grudge.

Liu Yan also took this opportunity to cut off contact with the central government. Yizhou became semi-independent. Liu Yan finally became the king of the mountain.

Today's thrifty desire for possessions is even greater than in the original history. Cao De only learned of Xuan Jian's greed after sending the Black Pearl Team to Yizhou. Although Cao De didn't know how Liu Yan replaced Xuan Jian in the original history, Cao De dared to assert that this Xuan Jian would not end well just by relying on the information sent by the black pearl in his hand.

Cao De was not a prophet, but his words did work.

Due to Xuan Jian's expropriation and extortion in Yizhou, the poor people in the entire Yizhou except for Hanzhong County complained and suffered unspeakably. In the end, after the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou was dispersed, a panicked Yellow Turban Army ran to Yizhou.

The arrival of the Yellow Turban Army gave hope to the local people in Yizhou. And when the Yellow Turban Army that had wandered here was dispersed, the Yellow Turban Army in the Central Plains was still in good form. When they came, they were also sympathetic to the plight of the local people, so they began to trumpet the policy of Zhang Jiao. In the end, a large number of people in Yizhou were encouraged to join the Yellow Turban Army.

When the Yellow Turban Army entered Yizhou, Cao De was still far away in Yingchuan. I don't know about it. But Jia Xu, who stayed in Hanzhong, got the news as soon as possible.

Jia Xu naturally suppressed this news. The neighbor's back garden is about to catch fire, and the owner who is not at home can't let it know, so as not to distract Cao De. Therefore, Jia Xu made a decision privately. The first is to increase the surveillance force in Yizhou.

In fact, under Cao De's command, not only through the Black Pearl road to obtain information, there is also a very large spy force in Hanzhong. This spy force has the same purpose as the Heavy Hammer Battalion that Cao De wants to establish, which is to cover Black Pearl.

That's perfectly right. The Black Pearl, the Hammer Battalion, and the Spy Force can actually be called Cao De's secret forces. But the focus of the Hammer Battalion is on force, and the focus of the espionage unit is on fighting intelligence. The Black Pearl, on the other hand, is a force that combines force and intelligence. And the information that Jia Xu got was by relying on ordinary spy troops.

Although Jia Xu thought that Cao De didn't know what happened in Yizhou, Jia Xu didn't know that the same information had been sent to Cao De by Black Pearl, and there was also a report on Jia Xu's next move.

When Cao De got the news, the first thing he thought about was not what would happen in Yizhou, nor was he suspicious of Jia Xu's approach. Rather, he was thinking about why Jia Xu did it. It didn't take long for Cao De to understand Jia Xu's intentions. And then just put the news behind me. Then Cao De was so busy with the war that he forgot about it.

After Jia Xu increased the power of arrows in Yizhou, he immediately sent an order to the soldiers guarding Baishui Pass. Prevent the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou from running to Hanzhong without long eyes.

The Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou is also very interesting. Knowing that in Hanzhong County in the north is the hometown of Cao De, who broke up himself. didn't dare to provoke, just wandered around the rest of the counties in Yizhou. The officers and soldiers were in a hurry to chase after them, so they drilled into the mountains and disappeared. When the officers and soldiers were gone, they came out again to plague the rich.

After coming and going, after several months of development, this Yellow Turban Army finally showed its sharp canine teeth. And as soon as he appeared, he made a big move. Surrounded Chengdu.

Sixty or seventy thousand Yellow Turban troops wrapped around Chengdu were surrounded by water. And after the previous battle against the Yellow Turban Army, Xuan Jian knew that there was a group of soft-footed shrimp outside the city. Carelessly, go out of the city to destroy the enemy. Unexpectedly, after Xuan Jian left the city, the Yellow Turban Army did not run away, but his life was lost.

Now, the history of Yizhou's thorn is hanging. There is no leader in the whole of Yizhou. At present, Luoyang does not know that Xuan Jian is dead.

Now Cao De is considering whether to immediately report the situation in Yizhou to Luoyang.

The first situation is that Cao De immediately reported the death of Xuan Jian to Luoyang, maybe Luoyang will send a state pastor to himself, and then continue to act as a blessing on his head. This is not good for Cao De's idea of taking control of Yizhou.

The second scenario is that Cao De will immediately send troops into Yizhou now. After pacifying the Yellow Turban Army, he reported to Luoyang, came to cut first and then played, and still went to Luoyang with credit to ask for guilt. That would be the most beneficial for Cao De.

If Cao De adopts the second method, he will report to Luoyang after taking control of Yizhou. The result is nothing more than two.

The first one, Luoyang is generous once. Let Cao De's merits be offset, and then arrange a stab history. As a result, the trust of Thorn Shi was controlled by Cao De. Let's make a history of assassination to order the counties.

The second is that Luoyang directly appointed Cao De as the assassin of Yizhou. But that's obviously unlikely.

Cao De's heart was undoubtedly inclined to immediately send troops to take control of Yizhou. However, Cao De's army is currently being reorganized.

After the reorganization of the Five Elements Battalion is completed, and then it undergoes integrated training to form combat effectiveness. It will take at least a month. And the two battalions newly formed by Cao De, the Blade Battalion and the Sword Battalion, will take longer to become an army.

Cao De couldn't pay attention to it. Suddenly a little upset, he began to walk back and forth in the house. Cao De didn't know how many laps he had wandered around. It wasn't until the guard at the door called out to Mrs. that Cao De came back to his senses. Before you know it, it's already dark.

Cao De originally said that he would have dinner with Ren Hongchang. But the meals had been heated several times, and Ren Hongchang still didn't see Cao De. Originally, Ren Hongchang thought that Cao De was still discussing major matters with Jia Xu and others. Ask if you need to bring food here. Talk while eating. But Ren Hongchangzhi, who pushed the door open, saw Cao De alone. Cao Deleng paused for a moment and put the matter down first. accompanied Ren Hongchang to the backyard.

After Cao De and Ren Hongchang came to the backyard, they found that Cai Wenji was also having dinner together! Cao De smiled at Ren Hongchang awkwardly, and he walked to the main position.

After the delicious meal came up, Cao De lifted the chopsticks and had no appetite. The attentive Ren Hongchang immediately discovered Cao De's abnormality and asked, "General, why are you worried?" Why are your brows furrowed? ”

When Cao De heard this, he smiled apologetically and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a little thing." ”

Cai Wenji, who was on the side, got along with Cao De day and night after those days, and she didn't take it seriously, and said straightforwardly: "Sister, don't worry about the general. There are Mr. Wenhe and Mr. Wenruo. What can the general do to these two people. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Cao De heard this, yes, he guarded the top strategists, why didn't he know how to use it reasonably. Immediately, Cao De threw down his chopsticks and was about to walk out.

After Ren Hongchang saw Cao De's movements, he also put down his dishes and chopsticks, "The general doesn't have to be in a hurry. The three gentlemen can't run away, if there is no urgency, you can ask again tomorrow. Moreover, the general and several gentlemen have also been tired for a day, so resting early is the right way. ”

When Cao De heard this, he smiled. yes, it looks like I've really plunged headlong into the muddy pot. (To be continued.) )
