242. Draw your sword
>,!
After the Son of Heaven rewarded Deng Ji, he was already interested in the prosperity of the mountain, and ordered him to retreat by himself, go inside to find the queen and others, and prepare to move to Luoyang.
Deng Ji led the army. Because he was in the same city of Anyi, Dong Cheng's department was close at hand, and it was difficult to prevent disasters, so Deng Ji ordered him to hand over the military power, and the Son of Heaven and all the officials were in the hands of the people, Dong Cheng did not dare to disobey, so he had to hand over the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers.
Although there were only more than 10,000 soldiers left, there were many warriors, and Deng Ji ordered Zhang Liao, Sun Guan and others to divide first, and then deal with them after they were brought back to Henan.
Now the three counties are saturated, the population is difficult to settle, Deng Ji also wants to occupy the land of Hedong, but after the rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan, the land of Sanfu did not flee south to Jingzhou's wealthy family, almost all of them have moved to Hedong, and there are countless remnants of white wave thieves, and the Xiongnu are also near, and there is no military energy to govern this place for a while.
Jia Xu had already voted for Deng Ji at this time, and when the three of them were discussing, Jia Xu said: "The former Hedong Taishou Wangyi was very much appreciated by the officials and the people, so he lived in Hedong for a long time and was safe, and the thief did not dare to harm him." Now Hedong is in a hurry, why don't the generals still use Wang Yi, so that they can govern Hedong first, and then slowly sort out the map. ”
Deng Ji summoned Wang Yi to question. Wang Yi is a literary capital, but he is also a loyal Han man, hearing that Deng Ji wants him to continue to govern Hedong, he said: "I am a Hanchen, the lord is given by the Son of Heaven, and I should abide by my duty!" Today, I am the leader of the division, for my boss, dare not be ordered? However, the Son of Heaven is in Luoyang'an, and the Yi is in Hedong'an; If the Son of Heaven is in trouble, Yi will rebel! ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and Deng Ji couldn't take him.
If the policy of the fourth-class people cannot be implemented and taxes cannot be collected, Hedong will not be included in his own rule, but Wang Yiken will temporarily obey the order. It's better than abandoning the land entirely. Day 2. Deng Ji ordered the original Dong Chengjun to choose 3,000 old and weak troops to Wang Yi, which was regarded as the county soldiers guarding Hedong, and he didn't care if he could hold it or not, and returned to Henan from the hundred officials of the harem of the Son of Heaven.
The previous time the son of heaven escaped from Chang'an, the harem was accompanied on foot, and this time he went to Henan, and the treatment was higher, and there were carriages to send each other.
Because of the previous grain grabbing. Deng Mu'an's dishonesty is certainly shameful for the scholars, and Liu Jingsheng is also laughed at when he is deceived.
The reputation of the lord Liu Biao was greatly damaged, but the minister Kuai Liang had a good horse. The folk whispers made the wise and scheming Kuai Zirou embarrassed and indignant, and ordered the servants to stab to death the horses that they had spent 22,000 stone in exchange for Deng Zhi, and swore to themselves: "From now on, I will never love horses again, and I will never forget my public because of my own selfishness!" ”
After hearing that Deng Ji led the army to conquer Hedong, Liu Biao recruited important ministers to discuss the matter. I want to take revenge.
However, there are many elite soldiers in Henan, and Cai Mao and Huang Zu Kuai Yue all stopped: "Although Deng Ji is out." The people who went to Hedong were all newly attached to it, and there were still fierce troops left in Henan. I have many soldiers in Jingzhou but few horses, which is not good for the war, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to plot! ”
The lack of cavalry is an important reason why Liu Biao has always been able to retreat to Jingzhou, and it is also the reason why he was deceived last time.
Pang Ji also said: "I heard that Deng Ji went to the east of the river to beg the thief to welcome the holy car, if we commit it at this time, I am afraid it will also be criticized!" ”
Afraid of the difficulties and the fear of losing his reputation again, what the ministers said made Liu Biao angry, and suddenly said: "However, this stupid and stubborn thief is in the neighborhood, if he does not revenge his former enemies, how can he eliminate my hatred?" ”
Kuai Liang then offered a plan: "I heard that Jizhou is also at enmity with Henan, and I have to think about it every day, but I can't do it at the right time." Make Jun and Benchu bus good, or make the Tun army outside Henan, lure Deng Ji's Hanoi army to the south, Yuan Gongding to ask Deng thief, and his tail can not be taken care of! When Henan is in chaos, we can also march! ”
Henan is indeed difficult to achieve, and it may be possible to do it with the power of Yuan Shao. Liu Biaoben was an ally with Yuan Shao because of Yuan Shu's enmity, so he joined forces with Zhang Ji from Kuai Liang's proposal, and a total of 50,000 troops were stationed in Luyang, making the appearance of preparing to capture Liang County. Another envoy was sent to tell Yuan Shao.
Liu Biao's envoy did not arrive in Yecheng, most of the Dangkou army had been ordered by Deng Ji to go south, and only Han Haotong's new formation of the Rock Army was left in Hanoi. Today, Hanoi is densely populated, and the people have food, and it is no longer the withered appearance of Zhang Yang, and Yuan Shao has already planned to seize it for his own use.
It's just that now it covers a vast area, and good generals such as Yan Liangwen, Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan either go to the newly acquired land of the town, or recruit soldiers from all directions, and who should be sent to Hanoi? How many soldiers and horses should I lead on the expedition? Left and right made Yuan Shao entangled.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was embarrassed, Xin commented: "Han Mengxiao bravely leads the heroic and heroic moves, and he can also be a general!" ”
Yuan Shao frowned and said unhappily: "These two are both young and have not experienced training, so they can't be generals!" ”
Xin Bi's personality is bright and straightforward, and when he saw that his brother's recommendation was rejected by Yuan Shao, he was dissatisfied and admonished: "I heard that Deng Ji has two tigers, Tai Shi Ci and Xu Huang are both young and reused, and now they are famous among the princes, so it can be seen that there should be no rules in employing people!" Han Meng is talented, why is Ming Gong so light? ”
Xin Bi was offended, but Yuan Shao had a good demeanor towards the famous people of the family, and reluctantly obeyed his wishes, wanting to lead 20,000 troops and horses to Hanoi with Han Meng.
When he heard about it, he hurriedly persuaded Yuan Shaodao: "Ming Gong knew that the Hanoi Dock Fort was now layered and very strong, and the people of Hanoi lived inside, and there were soldiers leading the people to resist the enemy, and it was very difficult to defeat them. If the rear is ignored, the army will go directly to the state and county, and the grain road will not be guaranteed; If you attack them one by one, when you fall into a hard battle, the number of 20,000 troops is also insufficient, and you need to draw troops and horses to help, and it will take a long time, and Deng Ji's reinforcements will arrive! Gongsun Montenegro also returned to disaster, starting after our army! ”
Yuan Shao asked in surprise: "Hanoi Dock Fort, is it so difficult to get?" ”
Fu Zhu nodded and replied: "If Ming Gong is hard to believe, you can send a small group to attack and disturb first, and you will know after a try!" ”
It was indeed difficult to convince Yuan Shao of what he said, so he sent several small forces to try to attack, but each surrounded the two dock forts with five or six hundred men, but it was only difficult to break through. And as soon as Yuan Jun arrived, there was beacon smoke in each dock fort to pass out, and it only took half a day's work, and a large team of people came to the rescue.
Even the temptation of this, but also failed to uproot a bunch of dwellings, but lost a lot of soldiers and horses, Yuan Shao was afraid of the difficulty, believed in the frustration of the teaching, and terminated the southward intention. When Liu Biao's envoy arrives, he will not respond.
Yuan Shao did not dare to send his division to the south, but he fell in love with the "Du Gongwu" in Hanoi, and ordered the prefecture and county to recruit people to imitate them all over the country, and give priority to residential households, especially near Yicheng around Taihang.
It's just that under Yuan Shao's rule, the fourth-class people are not as good as Deng Ji's, and the conscription of the people is delayed in agricultural work, not to mention the loss of labor and money, and the people living in the Wubao are short of fierce and brave warriors to store food for the backbone, which is not as sustainable as Hanoi, but the big clans are very happy to get this new home, saying that they can avoid thieves and disasters, and imitate them one by one.
Gongsun Zhan is already in Yicheng, and with the strength of the city's food, he doesn't dare to go out lightly, and the impact is not great. However, although Zhang Yan also had his own reclamation of fields, the land was very narrow, the grain was insufficient, and he still needed to go out to plunder and replenish it.
All localities began to learn from Hanoi to build "Du Gongwu", and the harm of Taihang thieves gradually decreased. He also heard that Deng Ji had welcomed the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, Yuan Shao revived the idea of setting up a new king, he wanted to set up Liu Yu as the Son of Heaven, but he refused, and now he wants to set up Liu Yu's son Liu He.
When Liu He heard this, he refused to follow, and when Yuan Shao's envoy returned, he whispered and said: "My father has a clear name, and he is loyal and upright, and he dares to have a bad reputation for the son of man?" And the Han family has declined, if I am the Son of Heaven, dare to be the master of the Yuan family? If you disobey, you will be afraid that your life will not be guaranteed! ”
Not only did Liu He disobey, but the ministers also did not follow. Xin Bi persuaded him: "Although today's son is subject to Deng thief, he has not heard of any immorality, and he is afraid of losing his reputation if he is private. If the Duke of Ming wants to appease, wait for the destruction of Gongsun Ping Black Mountain, and the north will be safe, and then unite the princes to go to Henan Qinwang, it is expected that Deng Ji has few soldiers, how can he resist? At that time, the prestige is exalted, but it is not possible to do things that are not subordinate! ”
Yuan Shao had to put it aside and not mention it again, but Yicheng was strong, and although his power was great, it was not something that could be broken for a while.
The Son of Heaven went to Henan with Deng Jijun and lived in the old palace.
After Deng Ji became the ruler of Luoyang, the city was built in various places, and now it has a new look, but the palace city is owned by the royal family, and it has never dared to take care of it for fear of being criticized. It wasn't until Tian Feng and others proposed to welcome the Son of Heaven that they hired servants to clean up, and built several new palaces and buildings for the Son of Heaven's harem and other places to live, and the hundred officials were placed outside the palace.
However, even if there are a few new palaces, the most ruined place in Luoyang City is still in the palace city, how can the servants finish it in a hurry?
On the night of the Son of Heaven's stay, when he saw the ruined palace around his new residence, the smoke left on the ruined walls, the piles of rubble swept out, and the unfinished weeds in the corners, he remembered the suffering of his brothers when the Han family suffered all kinds of tribulations after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Dong Zhuo and Li were raging, and tears suddenly rained down.
The so-called touch injury, Queen Fu Dong Guiren and other harems accompanied him to suffer all the way, and at this time he also cried endlessly.
Dong Chengzhi's army has been captured by Deng Ji, after returning to Luoyang, only hundreds of loyal Han rooms were left for him to guard the palace. After putting away his sadness, the Son of Heaven said: "Therefore, after the king's brother Hongnong was killed by Dong Zhuo, I ordered him to be buried in the tomb of Zhao Zhong, the chief servant, and acted hastily, which was not a gift of the king. Now that I have returned to Luoyang, I should tidy up the imperial tomb and comfort the ancestors, and my brother's coffin should also be moved to it! ”
"Yes! The ministers will discuss with the ministers tomorrow and move the tomb of the peasant king! ”
Dong Chenggang finished speaking, and the Son of Heaven said: "Brother Wang did not have a concubine during his lifetime, so he had to be accompanied by Tang Ji. ”
In order to inspect the palace, Dong Cheng entered Luoyang one step ahead of the Son of Heaven, if he would not have known Tang Ji's whereabouts before, but he had already heard about it, he didn't dare to hide it at this time, and replied in a trembling voice: "The minister heard that it has been accepted by Deng Ji!" ”
The Son of Heaven was silent for a long time, and suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist with a sudden "choking", swung it hard, and slashed angrily at the black trunk in front of him.
The sword was embedded in the trunk of the tree, but the wood could not be broken, the Son of Heaven was already angry, abandoned the hilt of the sword, and turned his face to be hideous, and shouted at Dong Cheng: "I swear not to coexist with this thief!" ”
(Today's monthly pass is very powerful, the tiger still wants, wants, wants!) I'm going to! (To be continued......)
