Walking less than thirty miles north from Yong'an, even if you enter Taiyuan County in Bingzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are nine counties in the state, and the four counties in the north are Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen. To the south of the four counties and to the west of the Yellow River is Shangjun, in the center is Xihe County, and the most populous and relatively wealthy are Taiyuan County and Shangdang County. The smallest is Dingxiang County, which is sandwiched between the four northern counties.

In today's annexed prefectures, only Taiyuan County and Shangdang County are truly completely controlled by the Han Chinese.

The attached Southern Xiongnu are not only the more than 20,000 people that Yu Fu Luo brought to Hedong, the imperial court in the north of Xihe County near Meiji County specifically set up a Nandan Yu court for the Southern Huns, the year before last there was a coup d'état within the Southern Xiongnu, Yu Fu Luo's father Qiang Qu was killed, and the Marquis of Xu Bu Gu was set up as a single Yu, so Yu Fu Luo led his troops to Hedong to complain to the imperial court, and then stayed in the area of Hedong.

A while ago, Meiji's Xubu Guduhou was killed by his subordinates again, and now the position of the Southern Xiongnu is vacant, and the affairs of the clan are temporarily managed by the old king of the Southern Xiongnu.

The Southern Xiongnu actually controlled Xihe County and the northern part of Shangjun County, the southern part of Shuofang County, the part south of the Yellow River in Wuyuan County, and the entire Dingxiang County.

The territories of the four counties north of the Yellow River and the Great Wall are now controlled by the strong Xianbei people.

The newly appointed Tiance General Lu Bu wants to return to his hometown Wuyuan and return the four northern counties to the Han Dynasty, which is a very difficult thing.

Before the army returned to the north, Lu Zhi and Chen Gong worked together to help Lu Bu formulate a strategy of "slowly drawing it and gradually encroaching".

The specific content of this strategy is: first drive the troops into Lishi City in the south of Xihe County, and completely control Gaolang, Lin County, Lishi, Zhongyang and Pingwu County in the south of Xihe County. When the troops gained a firm foothold here and had a stable supply of logistical grain and grass, they sent troops to the east to occupy the grain-producing area of Taiyuan County, that is, the eight counties around Zhaoyuze. This process probably takes at least one to two years.

With the eight counties around Zhao Yuze, you can further expand your forces, and then take advantage of the situation to capture Jinyang City, the seat of the state administration, and occupy the entire Taiyuan County. With half of Xihe County and Taiyuan County, Shangdang County has become a bag. This process will take another one to two years.

Three or four years later, if Lü Bu had taken full control of Taiyuan and Shangdang, he would have the strength to expand northward, gradually driving the Southern Huns north of the Yellow River.

Five years later, the Southern Xiongnu, who were between the Han and Xianbei people, had either been wiped out or migrated westward, and Lü Bu had a long battle with his evil neighbors in the north, the Xianbei people.

Before Lü Bu had the strength to fight on both sides at the same time, he had to put his main forces in the north of Bingzhou. In the south of Bingzhou, it is only necessary to send troops to hold strategic roads such as the Fenhe Ancient Road, Tianjing Pass, and Huguan, and it is estimated that no one will be able to fight for a while.

Lu Bu completely accepted this set of strategies painstakingly formulated by the two military advisors, and he never imagined that he could sweep through the state in a year or two, solve the hundreds of thousands of Southern Huns, and send the Xianbei people who were constantly invading south back to the north of Yinshan.

The food must be eaten one bite at a time, the soldiers must be saved little by little, and the territory must be occupied inch by inch.

Cui Jun, the Taishou of Xihe County, was still holding Yuan Shao's stinky feet in Hanoi, and Lu Bu would not be polite to him, so he directly led the army to Lishi, and when he passed through Pingzhou and Zhongyang counties, he also specially met with the three elders of the county, so that the people of the two counties knew that the Tiance army was coming!

These two counties were plagued by the Bai Bo army once last year, so they are somewhat dilapidated, more than half of the people in the county were taken to Hedong by Guo Da, and half of the remaining half fled to Taiyuan County and Shangdang County, and the population left behind today is less than 30% of the original.

In order to appease the people, Lü Bu asked Wei Qi to draft a notice to appease the people, and the content was in the vernacular as much as possible, which meant to tell the people in the counties of Xihe County that the Tiance Army would be stationed in Lishi for a long time in the future to protect the peace of Xihe, and would never rob the people, let alone arrest the people to do coolies at will.

Lu Bu didn't know how effective this notice would be, but he knew that it was never better to say it well than to do it well, and many times the people still had to see how you did it.

From Yong'an to Lishi was only more than 300 miles away, 20,000 troops, plus 7,000 Southern Xiongnu slaves, at a speed of 40 miles a day, delayed for two days in Pingzhou and Zhongyang County, and after ten days, successfully arrived at Lishicheng.

Lishicheng is located at the western foot of the middle section of Luliang Mountain, less than 100 miles away from the Yellow River to the west, and was the main point of communication between the Qin and Jin states during the Warring States Period. Gaowolf County is 20 miles north of Lishi, Lin County is 30 miles west of Lishi, and Zhongyang County is 20 miles south of Lishi.

The stone city that Lu Bu saw was almost deserted.

After Guo Da led the Baibo Army to rise up, the first thing to attack was this city, Xihe Taishou Cui Jun fled with the soldiers before Guo Da came, and the Lishi County Order was beaten into meat sauce by the rebel army, and the Taishou Mansion and the county government were also burned by the rebel army.

Looking at the wild dogs running around Lishi City, Lu Bu did not have any discouragement, but had a kind of longing and expectation that everything would start from scratch.

On that day, all the troops entered the city and camped, and the tooth tent of the Tiance General's Mansion was set up in the courtyard of the original Taishou Mansion.

Lu Bu recruited all the civil and military subordinates into the account, and encouraged everyone to say: "When you first arrived at Lishi, did you not like the ruins and ruins here? It doesn't have to be that way! In my opinion, such a stone city is suitable for garrisons. The rich families near Lishi were either killed or fled after the Baibo Rebellion, and if the army came here today, they would not be hindered in any way. As long as we work together to protect the territory and love the people, we can quickly gain a foothold here! ”

Chen Gong stood up and said, "General Qiyu, my subordinates think that there are three priorities. First, it is necessary to check the acres of land near Lishi as soon as possible, distribute the ownerless fields to each battalion, and take advantage of the spring plowing season to organize sowing! Second, it is necessary to settle the 7,000 slaves as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to change. The third is to send people to escort the envoy of the imperial court to Jinyang to complete the alternation of the state pastor. ”

Lu Bu nodded and agreed with Chen Gong's proposal. He began to assign tasks to his subordinates.

"The matter of rebuilding the stone city is to ask the long history to bother. The matter of checking the ownerless acres of land was handed over to Wei to handle, and Jia Kui assisted from the side. The matter of resettlement of slaves was entrusted to the partial general Zhang Wenyuan, and Qin Yi, a member of the general's army, assisted from the side. Accompanying the imperial court envoy and Ding Zhoumu to Jinyang for the handover, he asked the left servant to shoot for him. General Xu Gongming led 500 cavalry and 500 trapped warriors to escort him all the way. ”

Lü Bu's orders were well organized, everyone's responsibilities were very clear, and the Chinese warriors stepped forward to receive orders, which seemed to be very orderly.
