Chapter 163: Shanyue Rebellion
Xun Yu word Gongda, Yuzhou Yingchuan County people's clan, Yingchuan Wang clan Xun clan children. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the door valve of the Xun family may not be as glorious as Yuan Shao, but the four generations of the Xun family are outstanding and world-famous. For example, Xun Yu's uncle Xun Yu is known to the world as Wang Zuo's talent, and Xun You is also known for his wit and scheming, which is no less than Chen Ping in the early Han Dynasty.
Xun You used to go north to Hebei with Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and a group of Yingchuan children, and later parted ways on the side of the Yellow River, Xun You went to Guanzhong, with the reputation and talent of the Xun family, he was still mixed in Guanzhong, and later in order to avoid the rebellion of Lu Bu and Li Dao, and sought the post of Shu County Taishou, but because of the restless journey to Yizhou, he stopped when he walked to Xiangyang, and stayed in Liu Biao's post house.
This time, Cheng Yu sent an envoy to Xiangyang, and when he persuaded Liu Biao to start a war against Sun Ce, who occupied his second county of Changsha and Guiyang, he went to visit Xun You and sent Han Lie's handwritten letter and Guo Jia's letter, which made Xun You firm in his determination to go south.
Han Lie and Xun You are the masters of the world, and the other is the masterminds of the troubled times, so they naturally hit it off at first sight, especially when Han Lie proposed that he would advance to the south, Xun You stroked his palms and smiled: "Liu Biao has a false name, if you don't take it, you will definitely cheapen others." ”
"Jingzhou is a place of ointment, although Liu Biao is exaggerated, but the navy is not weak, if the Ming Duke wants to go south, he must master a strong navy, otherwise the vast Yangtze River, even if the army of a million is impossible, it is impossible to cross the river." Xun Yu's strength is to be good at analyzing the subtleties of affairs, in his opinion, it is not difficult to capture Jingzhou, the difficulty is a strong naval army, especially in Yangzhou, which is in the lower reaches, if you want to go north to Jingzhou, you must master a strong naval force.
"I don't know if Gongda knows how many naval vessels Liu Biao has in his hands?" Han Lie asked curiously.
"Jingzhou has an army of 100,000, including 70,000 naval troops, and the specific combat power is ominous, but Cai Maoyue is by no means a mediocre person, and Ming Gong should not be too despised." Xun You has been stranded in Xiangyang for more than a year, and he now knows Jingzhou's military strength and geography.
"70,000 sailors, it is indeed not to be underestimated." Han Lie nodded and said, "I plan to build a naval army with 50,000 elites in two years, I don't know if Gongda is willing to help me." ”
"Thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, the subordinates will be smeared with liver and brain." Since Xun You came to Yangzhou, he had long planned to take refuge in Han Lie, and now after an in-depth conversation and understanding, he was quite impressed by Han Lie's admonition, as well as his broad mind and long-term vision, so he did not hesitate to get up and worship.
"Gongda, please hurry up, Feng Xiaoru should be no stranger, now he is the military advisor under my account, but Mr. is here, I am ready to appoint Feng Xiao as the left military division, how about Mr. to serve as the right military division?" Han Lie got up and helped the other party up.
"How did a certain newcomer arrive, he didn't make an inch, and it was really inappropriate to get this high position, and I asked the lord to take back his life." For Han Lie's trust and reuse, Xun You was moved, but he couldn't help but shirk.
"This matter is settled, sir, please don't shirk." Han Lie replied firmly.
On the first day, it was the day of the New Year, Han Lie began to rest yesterday afternoon, ready to spend a happy Spring Festival with Cai Yan and Mi Zhen at home, so Han Lie got up early and accompanied Cai Yan and Mi Zhen to work.
Although there are now maids and servants in the mansion, Han Lie took the initiative to chop the meat filling despite the objections of the second daughter, saying that he wanted to make dumplings for the second daughter and compensate them well.
Dumplings don't seem to have been invented at this time, but in Han Lie's home, it's not the first time I've eaten them, in previous years, Han Lie instructed the second daughter to eat dumplings many times, and even in the family of an official under Han Lie's account, the habit of eating dumplings is gradually spreading.
"Husband, speaking of which, this dumpling was made by me and Sister Zhen'er, and the taste was always a little worse than that of my husband." Seeing Han Lie holding double knives, skillfully chopping the meat filling on the cutting board, and Cai Yan who was cleaning up the leeks on the side, an indescribable feeling of happiness filled her heart. As long as Han Lie was by his side, even if he looked at him quietly, Cai Yan felt extremely down-to-earth.
"What my sister said is mile, I think our husband, even if the chef of the East China Sea Xianju Building in the past, he is three points inferior to one of them." Mi Zhen used to be the eldest lady at home, but since she got married, all the housework has also been done, not to mention, she takes care of all the expenses in the mansion.
Mi Zhen, who was born in a business, has been in contact with business since she was a child, so this business was handed over to her, it can be said that she found the right person, although Han Lie's family is not big, but there are more than 20 maids and servants in total, and if there is no capable person to manage a large family, it will also be chaotic.
Although Cai Yan does not lack this ability, she is naturally weak and does not like to care about these mundane things, usually Han Lie is not at home, she usually caress the qin and reads, or grows flowers and plants, or instead of Han Lie to visit the families of the dead soldiers, or help some families of soldiers in difficulty at home, and her life is also fulfilling.
When Han Lie finished the dumpling skin, Cai Yan said: "Husband, Sister Erqiao, they haven't eaten dumplings yet, I will let someone send them some later, speaking of which, it will be a family soon, husband, you have to be kind to others." ”
"It's all the old thing, it's just a matter of watching it." Now that Han Lie has a lot of affairs at hand, how can he be in the mood to pay attention to the private affairs of his children, although Er Qiao is a rare beauty, but he knows very well that such a beauty does not have enough strength, but it is not possible to protect it.
After surviving in the morning, Han Lie still failed to eat dumplings, but because of an urgent military business, his arrangement to accompany his family was disrupted.
"Husband, military affairs are important, you go and get busy first, the dumplings will be ready later, and the concubine and sister Zhen'er will send them to you." Knowing that Han Lie had military affairs, although a trace of loss flashed in Cai Yan's eyes, he still gently persuaded Han Lie to get busy first.
"Thank you for your hard work, you accompany your father to have a good meal, and I will try to come back to accompany you in the evening." Han Lie nodded, opened his arms and took the second daughter into his arms, and kept it warm for a while before Ding Feng went to the front yard hall.
Now the three boys of Ding Feng, Ding Feng, and Ding Shan have all become his personal guards, taking turns to listen to Han Lie's side, although Ding Feng and Ding Shan's qualifications are a little worse, but overall Han Lie is still satisfied.
When Han Lie came to the shogunate hall in the front yard, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao, Dong Zhao, Sun Shao, and Gu Yong had already arrived, and only Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were in charge of the general's palace guards, were there, and the others were not notified for the time being, so there were no personnel in the list.
Gu Yong had just arrived in Jianye yesterday, and Han Lie had already decided to formally establish the shogunate after the year, Gu Yong was an outstanding internal affairs talent, so he was naturally one of the candidates for the shogunate.
"My lord." Seeing Han Lie coming, everyone stood up and saluted.
"How did Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin and County Lieutenant Wei Jing do things? Why didn't you hear the wind beforehand? After Han Lie waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, he glanced at the urgent military information sent from Xuancheng on the table, and learned that the 50,000 Shanyue people in Danyang did not say anything, and even before sending the information, Xuancheng had been lost.
"Lord, Wei Jing is too arrogant, it is said that after he took office, he made several shots regardless of customs and human feelings, especially with the Shanyue people who were very stiff, and offended Zhou Ang, as well as Xuancheng Ling Zhang Ying, and the school captain Chen Heng, the reason why the Shanyue people's movements were so big this time was because of the assistance of Zhou Ang, Zhang Ying, and Chen Heng." Guo Jia will send another official letter to Han Lie, this official letter was sent by Zhou Xin a few days ago, there was no rebellion in Danyang at that time, and this official letter is mainly Zhou Xin's views on Wei Jing's affairs, but with this official letter, combined with the current intelligence, Guo Jia can basically deduce the cause of the large-scale rebellion in Danyang now.
"Alas, it seems that you are being hit by Fengxiao, but it turned out that it was not good for even a year, and this matter is indeed my fault." Han Lie remembered that when he was in Lujiang, Guo Jia had said that Wei Jing was not suitable for the position of Danyang County Lieutenant, but at that time, he was easily promoted to the position because Wei Jing did a good job in the northern part of Danyang.
"The lord does not need to blame himself, the rebellion of the Shanyue people is not an accidental event, it happens almost every year, just the size of the scale, this year's winter snow covers the mountain, the Shanyue people must have a hard time, and now it is the New Year, they unite to rob the people, which is completely in line with their living habits." Guo Jia truthfully analyzed the true situation of the Shanyue rebellion, and said: "The top priority is to immediately quell the rebellion, and it is best to take advantage of the opportunity of the Shanyue people to descend the mountain on a large scale to cut off their living force in one fell swoop." ”
"Shanyue people are the remnants of ancient Yue, they worship force, sacrifice to the god of witches and ghosts, there are indeed some outstanding points, we may not be able to get benefits by fighting hard, I think it should be mainly appeased, Shanyue people have always relied on the mountains to eat, the tribes are scattered, the Han Dynasty has been fighting for hundreds of years and the results are not large, on the contrary, it will fall into the quagmire of war, but the gains outweigh the losses." As a local faction in Jiangdong, Gu Yong can be said to have a good understanding of the history and origin of Shanyue, and what he said is not unreasonable.
Xun You and Cheng Yu are both northerners, and they are newcomers, so they don't know much about Shanyue, so they didn't express their opinions.
What Guo Jia said is not wrong, it would be best if he could annihilate Shanyue's living force, but Gu Yong was right, Shanyue people were scattered without a trace, and the vast mountains were not suitable for the army to conquer, which is also the reason why Shanyue people have always been like scabies.
Han Lie pondered, and said: "Chuan Yu Ban, Gao Shun, and Zhou Tai came to see them, and informed Zhou Xin to go to Wu County to take over the post of county leader, Wu County Magistrate Shi Yanzhen took over the post of Taishou, Wei Jing was demoted to the position of northern lieutenant of Danyang, Yuan Ba took over the post of county lieutenant, and let Bu Qi take over the post of Taishou of Danyang, responsible for coordinating Danyang military affairs. In addition, He Qi, the lieutenant of Huiji County, was promoted to the general of Pei, and the troops were commanded to suppress the Shanyue tribes in Huiji. ”
"Whoa." Zhang Zhao and the others immediately sent out the order issued by Han Lie.
"To deal with the Shanyue people, we have to suppress and use it, mainly relying on the armed forces of the county, there is a little bit of Yuan sigh is right, the army is conquest, but the loss is just on the way, those Shanyue people see our army pressing, it will inevitably be broken into pieces, scattered in the mountains." After thinking about it, Han Lie felt that instead of conscripting heavy troops himself, it was better to send two capable generals to take charge of this matter.
According to his understanding of the officials under the account, he found that Bu Qi and He Qi were enough to take on great responsibilities, which was why he used them.
"What the lord said is that the army moves, the money and grain are rolling, and now although we are still financially rich, the lord plans to expand the naval army to 50,000 troops within two years, and this fund is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, if our army is collecting everywhere, it will inevitably cause the treasury to be empty, and eventually damage the interests of the people, which is undoubtedly a move that outweighs the loss." Although Zhang Zhao is only eight years old, but he is also short of strategic military, but he is good at governing the country, from his starting point, small-scale wars cannot be avoided, but large-scale military operations, if there is no need to fight, it is best not to fight.
Han Lie is very confident in the treasury, now Donglai County is in his own hands, Zhang Liao is in Donglai, and he moved the governance office to Yecheng, Donglai now has more than 30,000 people digging gold in Yecheng, although it is the most primitive excavation operation, but the amount of gold produced in a year can reach 150,000 gold, this huge amount of money is enough to support the construction of Han Lie's water army.
Soon, Yu Ban, Gao Shun, and Zhou Tai, who received the military order, rushed to the shogunate hall, and Han Lie immediately appointed Zhou Tai as the rebellious general, Yu Ban as the deputy general, and Gao Shun as the vanguard, and led the Red Flame Army of 10,000 to Chungu to meet Yuan Ba, responsible for the conquest of Shanyue.
After dealing with the affairs at hand, the sky had already darkened, and Han Lie listened to Xu Chu and Dian Wei's recent clean-up work on Jianye Daomen.
"Lord, that Yu Ji is really good, in order to capture him, my men have broken a hundred brothers, it is really hateful, and it is even more hateful These two days outside the cell of the Red Flame Army camp, **** people have come to plead, hoping that we will release Yu Ji, such demons, gossipes to confuse the public, should be beheaded." As long as Xu Chu thought that in order to arrest Yu Ji, there were more than a hundred brothers, and he was killed or injured under Yu Ji's demon law, he was full of indignation.
"There is no urgency in this matter, give me a good interrogation, be sure to ask for that confession, and then execute him, so that he can be recognized by the people." Although Han Lie knew that Yu Ji did not belong to the people of the Wudou Mi Sect, he belonged to the Taiping Dao lineage, and it was said that Yu Ji built Langya Palace in Langya Mountain, and the blessed land of Langya Mountain was exactly the place where Xuzhou Ding was buried, and according to Emperor Yu, this Yu Ji has now suppressed the Yin God Langya Jun Shaokang, who was originally responsible for guarding the Langya blessed land of Xuzhou Ding.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely pry open that Yu Ji's mouth." Xu Chu replied in a deep voice. On the contrary, Dian Wei was a little strange and did not say a word, the reason why Dian Wei was so out of shape was because when he interrogated Yu Ji yesterday, Yu Ji smiled at him and said: "Ru Shouyuan will be over, and his life will not be long." ”
At first, Dian Wei didn't believe Yu Ji's fallacy, but as a result, Yu Ji told several secrets about Dian Wei in a row, so that Dian Wei was thinking about it all day, not knowing whether to believe Yu Ji's words or not.
"Lao Dian, today is the first day, you should go back early, marry your wife home early after the New Year, and be alone in the province." Han Lie saw that Dian Wei's spirit was a little sluggish, and he asked with concern.
"Whoa." After Dian Wei left, Xu Chu hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard the sergeant say that the demon Dao said that the old Dian's longevity will be exhausted, and I don't know whether it is true or not, anyway, since listening to what the demon Dao said, the old man is a little abnormal." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Han Lie pondered, and suddenly found that Dian Wei in history seemed to be really dying, but now that he was following him, could his fate still not be changed?
"I know about this, you can comfort him more, I will find someone to open his heart knot." Han Lie couldn't confirm the truth of this matter for a while, so he had to smile and comfort Xu Chu. (To be continued.) )
