Chapter Twenty-Eight: Always Be Ready

Although Xu Huang is a good general of the fifth son of Wei, he always feels between first-class and second-rate. The reason why this is so, according to He Chen's understanding, is to harm the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In this dusty history of the Three Kingdoms, the stars are gathered, the stars are shining, and countless extremely talented generals and ministers are underestimated and annihilated. Among them, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Chen Qun, Tian Yu, etc., although Romance has a high evaluation of them, He Chen also thinks that they are underestimated. Don't say anything else, take a look at what Cao Ying said in the sentence "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Xu Huang": "I have used soldiers for more than 30 years, and I have heard that those who are good at using soldiers in ancient times have not driven into the enemy's encirclement." And Fan and Xiangyang are surrounded, too Ju and Jimo, and the general's merits are more than Sun Wu and Sui Tho. At that time, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Yu Ban was forced to surrender, Pang Deli was captured and killed, took advantage of the victory to besiege Fancheng, and surrounded Xiangyang with a force. At this time, Wei Jingzhou assassinated Shi Hu Xiu and Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang, all of whom surrendered to Guan Yu. There were also Sun Wolf and other killers who raised troops in response to Guan Yu. Guan Yu's momentum for a while, in this case, Xu Huang led most of the recruits into Yanglingpi, after several battles, not only thwarted Guan Yu's powerful offensive, but more importantly, destroyed the alliance of Sun and Liu, changed the strategic pattern at that time, so that Cao Ying grasped the strategic initiative, and its merits were comparable to the battle of Zhangliao and Hefei.

"General Xu can be said to have the style of Zhou Yafu."

Let's take a look at "Ci Hai": the long drive goes straight to Xu Gongming, killing two birds with one stone, and killing two birds with one stone.

About Xu Huang's bravery has already jumped on the paper, and there is no need to explain more.

"What does Gongming think of Wancheng?" At this time, He Chen smiled and said.

"Farmers are diligent in farming, the people are better than martial arts, young and hard to learn, each in its own place; Merchants gather in the city, chariots and horses diverge, and the warehouses are lined up with ordinary people to live in peace. Subordinate all the way, its prosperity is not lost to Kyoto County, it can be seen that there is a way under the rule of Taishou, and it is the blessing of Wancheng and the blessing of Nanyang. Xu Huang said a lot, and his face was full of admiration, which didn't seem to be fake.

Xu Huang said this to He Chen's itching in his heart, but this was the proud work he thought he had done in the past two years, and he coaxed this fool to be full of joy, and his mouth was smiling to the corner. Wancheng has developed rapidly in the past two years, although He Chen did not dare to make drastic rectifications, but small knocks and small fights continued, whether it was to open up wasteland, repair canals, clear rivers, or encourage industry and commerce, and set up private schools, which is not for the benefit of one party, although the Shi family has suffered from land annexation, but in a short period of time, it is not harmful to Wancheng after the sword war, and a large number of barren fields are waiting to be reclaimed, coupled with He Chen's many encouragement and support policies, a large number of victims, tenant farmers, and displaced people poured into Wancheng, and several states and counties on the edge of Nanyang feel that life is difficult, The people who could barely survive even came with clans, so that later the counties were too obligatory to suppress the people of their own state and not to leave the county, otherwise they would be punished for crimes, which was able to suppress the tide of immigration. But even so, there are many people in remote mountain villages, yesterday people still come and go, the next morning, the whole village disappeared, and migrated overnight to settle in Wancheng.

The influx of a large number of people will inevitably drive various demands, and there will be a blowout development in various industries such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Whether it was to eat by hand, or to help the official family farm the land, He Chen asked Li Yan to make meticulous arrangements. Not only did they arrange notices in the open areas of the major city gates, but they also sent officials to take special shifts to deal with them, and the ultimate goal was to let the people have a family to live in and a ration to eat.

You must know that in ancient times, wars not only burned money, but also had to fight for people. There are many people and money, and this battle is easy to fight.

He Chen's actions naturally caused a strong response in the area of Nanyang County, and he started with soldiers, and the troops swept away thieves year after year, all counties were peaceful, and the roads were safe.

The so-called no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life, this series of cascading effects supported the rapid development of the entire Wancheng, and the influence began to radiate to the four counties, Yan Ran has become the head of the eight counties of Jingxiang.

He Chenle narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said with a smile: "Gongming is too famous, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Nanyang County has just started, and this county has a long way to go." ”

At this time, Wen Ping asked aloud: "Could it be that this is the captain of Xu Du?" ”

"Exactly, come on, come on, Ben Taishou will introduce you to you."

With Zhang Liao's previous experience, the generals did not dare to slack off, just looking at Xu Huang's style, as well as his gold-plated water axe that looked quite heavy, he knew that his arm knife must be amazing. The axe is a heavy soldier, and a general with average arm strength really can't afford to use this weapon, since Xu Huang dares to use this weapon, it shows that he is extremely confident in himself.

Everyone greeted each other, and there was a lively scene.

Before it was over, He Chen was full of spirits, and said: "Today, Wen Liao and Gongming have come to help, and big things can be done." Of course, until now, He Chen has not dared to expose his ambitions in front of the generals, although the Han family will be tilted, but most of them are loyal and patriotic people, once they have any outrageous moves, they are afraid that they will soon separate their hearts. He Chen couldn't think of any problems at such a critical juncture.

Soon, He Chen introduced Zhang Liao and Xu Huang into the city, and invited the two of them to a banquet, and the generals accompanied them, except for Xun You, Lu Chang and other important things, Wancheng executives gathered together.

At this banquet, everyone ate and drank happily, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.

After that, He Chen began to step up military training, prepare grain and grass, build weapons, and at the same time make a list of soldiers, visit the sages and worship Confucianism. From time to time, He Man, the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and his subordinates Fei Yuanshao, Bian Xi and others led a thousand people to come to meet each other. It turned out that the three-year contract had expired, and I didn't know if it was the system constraints that worked, or if He Man's life in Runan was not as good as a day, or seeing He Chen complete such an earth-shattering act, he was willing to come to meet him. It's just that when they came, a group of yellow turban soldiers will all be as yellow as dirt and thin as ribs, as if they haven't eaten for a long time. His body stenched badly, and his clothes were torn, and he looked like a beggar. Most of the soldiers had weapons in their hands, such as simple wooden guns and rusted knives.

This stunned He Chen and the generals who came out to greet him.

Is this the elite troops in He Man's mouth, or are they refugees who fled and ate them?

Later, I found out the reason under He Chen's questioning. It turned out that He Man broke up with Runan, Liu Pibu, Gong Dubu and others due to disagreement. When they withdrew, they didn't want the two armies to suddenly attack, and burned a lot of military rations. Along the way, because He Man governed the army very strictly, because most of the Yellow Turban soldiers were born poor, they knew that the people's livelihood was difficult, and they couldn't bear to plunder and harvest.

He Chen was solemn after hearing this, and admired He Man even more.

And He Man's arrival made Liao Hua overjoyed, and the two hugged each other and cried, and talked for several nights.

He Chenzhi Nanyang, not one by one, but said that in the sixth year of Zhongping, this history is destined to be an extraordinary year, and too many things have happened.

In late June, the general He Jin died, and Wancheng ordered He Chen to bring the dead into the palace, kill the regular servants, and then move to Nanyang Taishou.

In July, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong recovered, and the government and the opposition were scolded.

In the second half of the year, the eunuchs recovered, and Dong Zhuo, the former general of the garrison in Hedong, drove his troops into Beijing, with the banner: Qingjun side, Zheng Chaogang.

In August, Dong Zhuojun did not arrive in Luoyang, and the eunuch Zhang Rang heard that Dong Zhuo had entered Beijing, and learned that Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and burned the South Palace, so he kidnapped the young emperor and fled, and the palace was in chaos. Dong Zhuo saw that Luoyang was on fire, led his troops to march quickly, and heard that the young emperor was in Beimang on the way, so he led troops to greet him, protect the young emperor and return to the palace, and kill Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs.

Since then, the ten permanent servants who have not made chaos in the Han Dynasty have been ambushed.

But Dong Zhuo did not stop, but exposed his wolf ambitions, he knew that if he wanted to conquer the hundred officials and control the imperial court, he must first master a strong military backing, so he ordered his brother Dong Min to mess with Wu Kuang, the general of He Jin's army, to kill He Miao, and without spending a single soldier to incorporate He Jin and He Miao's troops, and take advantage of the fisherman. He also induced the original department of Jin Wu Ding to attach Lu Bu's killing of Ding Yuan to himself, and the soldiers were prosperous.

Not long after, he forced the Queen Mother to depose Sikong Liu Hong and make herself Sikong. forced Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Zhi and others away, and monopolized military and political power.

In September, Dong Zhuo, who was inflated in ambition, was unwilling to do so, and coerced the courtiers of Empress Dowager He to abolish the young emperor and set up King Chen Liuwang as the emperor. When the abolition was made, all the ministers were sad and frightened, but no one dared to speak.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo killed the Empress Dowager He again, and began to ** the government, flying and domineering.

In September of the same year, the emperor gave one person from the secretary of state to the Huangmen servant Lang's family to serve as Lang officials, so that he could supplement the eunuchs' internal offices. He was also promoted to Taiwei Liu Yu as the Great Sima and was named the Marquis of Xiangben. Doctor Yang Biao is Sikong, and Yuzhou Mu Huangwan is Situ. Dong Zhuo is a self-appointed lieutenant, leading the former general military, adding knots, axes, and tigers, and even sealing the Marquis.

In October, Guo Tai, the Yellow Turban of Xihe County, led his troops to attack Hedong County, and Dong Zhuo sent his troops to lead Niu Fu to attack and was defeated.

In November, Dong Zhuo claimed to be the prime minister, and praised the nameless, did not enter the court, and went to the palace with his sword, all of which were courteous.

Dong Zhuo plundered property, mutilated the people, and plundered women in the Beijing Division, calling it "searching prisons". They also tortured and punished indiscriminately, so that the people's hearts were panicked, and the internal and external bureaucrats were in danger; At the same time, he restored the reputation of the party members and hired scholars in an attempt to win the hearts of the people and consolidate his position.

But Dong Zhuo acted perversely, brutally and unkindly, provoked anger and resentment, and the people were in an uproar. From time to time, Cao Ying, the captain of the military academy, fled back to Chenliu, and with the help of Wei Zi and others, he scattered his family wealth, gathered a total of 5,000 volunteers, and called a crusade against Dong Zhuo, which opened the prelude to the crusade of the princes of the Eighteenth Route into Beijing.

After He Chen got the news for the first time, he was excited, all the preparations, all the timings, and finally began to mature. From then on, the princes will compete for hegemony, and the situation of competing for the Central Plains will be formally formed. And he is about to step into the script of the eighteenth road princes to attack Dong Zhuo, now, He Chen has a strong desire, hoping to strive to break the original framework of the group of heroes, enter Beijing to kill Dong Zhuo, preemptively Cao Ying, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but I don't know if this wish can be realized?
