(It's not easy to get a new book, I hope you collect it, and I am grateful for the recommended vote.) )

From Zhending to Qingzhou Beihai, the road is thousands of miles, because most of the counties under the rule of Jizhou along the way, Han Lie's team is under the banner of the Han army, and every time he goes in advance, Han Lie will put on his name in advance, showing his identity as Han Fu's nephew, and telling him to go to Qingzhou to suppress bandits, so the soldiers and horses of the counties and counties he has passed through are not difficult, after all, Han Lie has thousands of soldiers and horses, and if you want to make difficulties, you have to see if you have this strength.

Although the journey was smooth, more than twenty days had passed by the time the troops arrived at Gaotang City under the rule of Pingyuan County.

The morale of the troops has been affected to a certain extent during the long march, especially for some soldiers who have never left home, which will also give rise to homesickness, and the result of this homesickness is that the troops have deserted.

Although it was discovered in time by Xu Huang, who was patrolling the night, this incident caused a great repercussion in Han Lie's army, and everyone's opinions on the handling of the three soldiers who escaped were also a little unanimous.

Xu Huang's opinion is to kill Yizheng Military Law, Zhao Yun thought of the feelings of the villagers, hoping to give them a chance, in the face of the different opinions of the two generals, Han Lie was also a little embarrassed for a while, speaking of the three deserters, he also knew their parents, and these three people were very young, the oldest was only nineteen years old, and the youngest was only sixteen years old.

For such a few young people in the prime of life, from the perspective of military law, Han Lie naturally thought that they should be killed, but from the perspective of human feelings, he wanted to give them another chance.

After thinking about it, Han Lie finally handed over the decision to Junzheng Xiahoulan, because Han Lie knew that the soul of an army must have a set of strict military discipline, since he appointed Xiahoulan as Junzheng, then it was reasonable for him to handle this matter, and it could also test Xiahoulan's ability to handle things through this matter.

"Kill!" When he got the warrant that Han Lie transferred to him, Xia Houlan only said one word, and that was to kill. Han Lie gave a high degree of support to Xia Houlan's fair and strict attitude towards law enforcement, and praised Xia Houlan's fairness and strictness at the all-army conference.

After Xiahoulan ********, the three sergeants were pushed out of the camp gate and beheaded, and their bloody heads were hung at the camp gate overnight.

The morale of the army was also boosted to a certain extent, especially after the troops entered Gaotang City, in order to find the ferry, Han Lie issued an order to rest and recuperate, and let each battalion take turns to take a half-day vacation, during this half-day, they could go to Gaotang City in groups of three or five to move freely.

Gao Tang's county order has already run away at this time, and the county seat is now in the hands of the wealthy clans in the city, for Han Lie's army, these wealthy clans are obviously very jealous, but at the same time they have some expectations, this is not that night, he led the army to camp outside the city, and ushered in a middle-aged man who claimed to be a county man, as well as several children of the Gao Tang clan.

These people brought Han Lie five hundred stone of grain, as well as fifty fat pigs, and the middle-aged man who called himself the county Cheng made it clear that after Han Lie's big tent was seated, he made it clear that he hoped that Han Lie could stay in Gaotang and that they could provide grain and grass for Han Lie's army.

After Han Lie knew their intentions, he resolutely refused: "I understand your kindness, this time I led the troops here at the invitation of Kong Beihai to go to Beihai to quell the rebellion, your kindness, I can only understand it." ”

Regarding Han Lie's attitude, everyone was disappointed, so they had to get up and leave.

"Ziyang, this Gaotang is rich, backed by Jizhou, facing the Yellow River, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, why don't we settle here?" After Xu Huang waited for these people to leave, he asked a little puzzled.

It was not only Xu Huang who had the same doubts, but also Xu Rong, Zhao Yun was also curious and waiting for Han Lie's explanation.

"Although Gao Tang is good, but you have not found it, this is the land of four wars, the reason why no one notices here at the moment, is because those princes are busy fighting for territory, once they let go, then Gao Tang will become the focus of many parties, you say that with our current strength, if we want to lay a foundation in Gao Tang, if there is no three or five years, it is simply impossible, rather than this, why should we waste time here?"

Along the way, Han Lie has heard the news that Cao Cao was appointed as the Taishou of Dongjun in Yanzhou, and Gongsun Zan in Jizhou is looking at Yecheng, although Yuan Shao has not moved, but according to historical events, it is obvious that at this time, Gongsun Chan sent troops to Jizhou, but it was just for Yuan Shao to make a wedding dress, and his cheap uncle Han Fu was afraid that Gongsun Zan was under the pressure of the army, but he took the initiative to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Han Lie, who paused, continued: "Right now, half of our food is consumed, and it will take at least ten days to go to Beihai smoothly, if there is a war on the road, it is difficult to say whether we can support Beihai, so we can only wholeheartedly march towards Beihai now, only when we get to Beihai and get the support of Kong Wenju, let's find a foothold to settle down, Xu Tu gradually, this is the last word." ”

When it comes to strategic planning, no one in this era can have such a vision as Han Lie, and the reason for this is naturally because Han Lie has historical knowledge that surpasses the ancients for 2,000 years, and he can see the major events that others cannot see in the next 20 or even 50 years.

In fact, Han Lie still had some things that he didn't tell them clearly, in fact, the real purpose of his trip to Beihai was Xuzhou, because according to the historical events he knew, the next land of Xuzhou is really promising.

Everyone saw that Han Lie had a plan, but they didn't say more, and in the next two days, under the support of the wealthy families of Gaotang County, Han Lie led his subordinates to cross the Yellow River smoothly and enter Dongzou County under the rule of Qiancheng County.

Entering Dongzou County, Han Lie truly realized what it means to be a thousand miles of red fields, the vast plains and fields, not only are there no people, all the land is barren, and almost all the villages are empty.

The entire county town is still an empty city, such a scene, not only in Dongzou City, but also in the next road, Han Lie almost rarely sees a populated city, and this scene has not improved until it has passed Dongyue Taishan.

After Mount Tai, it belongs to the boundary of Beihai County, and it is precisely because of the natural danger of Mount Tai, coupled with Beihai's Taishou Kongrong, who has always been diligent in government and loves the people, and actively armed with military forces, so that Beihai County is the smallest county affected by the Yellow Turban in the whole Qingzhou.

The reason why Han Lie did not encounter a large number of Yellow Turban rebels and people along the way was naturally because of the large number of people in the Yellow Turban Army, and at this time, because Qingzhou was no longer able to raise enough food and grass, they parted ways to Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

To say that Han Lie's luck is indeed good, otherwise, if he encounters the Yellow Turban Army, it will naturally be a bloody battle.

Gaomi County is the northernmost county seat of Beihai State, close to Qi County, and is also one of the three cities of the Beihai County garrison, Beihai County has jurisdiction over fifteen counties, the territory is vast, Kong Rong has only 18,000 men and horses in his hands, so it is impossible for him to garrison troops in every county.

For this reason, in addition to the 5,000 troops stationed in Gaomi in the north, 3,000 troops were stationed in Zhuxu County in the south, and the remaining 10,000 horses were stationed in the camp of the county and the state, and most of the people in the rest of the counties moved into these three cities for refuge since the Yellow Turban rioted in Qingzhou.

Gaomi County Commander is Kong Rong's confidant ****, Zizifa, and the general of the army is called Zongping, who is a member of the Beihai clan.

"Who are your troops, and what are you doing here?" When Han Lie led the army to the foot of Gaomi City, the guard general Zong Ping stood on the city tower with some apprehension while ordering guard, and asked in a loud voice.

"Chang Shan Yi joined the army, came to join Kong Beihai, please pass through Kong Envoy, and said that Han Lie, the old man of sour jujube, came to pay a visit." Han Lie drove forward and shouted, followed by Zhao Yun, who bent his bow and shot a feather arrow.

Zong Ping, who was standing at the head of the city, only heard the sound of a broken wind in his ears, and a feather arrow fell on the pillar behind him with a 'whoosh', and the arrow was more than an inch into the wood, a hundred steps away, and the force penetrated the solid wood.

Holding the feather arrow in his hand, Zong Ping took down the letterhead on the arrow in fear for a while, and shouted loudly: "Since you are a righteous servant, please camp outside the city first, and after returning to the Prime Minister of Kong, it is expected that the Prime Minister will have his own arrangements." ”

"So General Law." Since he had already arrived at Gaomi, Han Lie was naturally not in a hurry, and after returning to the front of the formation, Han Lie immediately ordered the army to retreat five miles and set up camp in an open place near mountains and rivers.

Three days have passed in a flash, but there is no news in the city, which can't help but make everyone secretly anxious, Han Lie is also a little undecided for a while, after all, his relationship with Kong Rong has indeed not reached the point of mutual communication, and now Beihai has become the only pure land in Qingzhou under Kong Rong's governance, if Kong Rong has concerns about himself and does not take him in, it is also a reasonable thing.
