For this hasty attack led by Bao Hong, people of insight in the court, such as Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, etc., were not optimistic. It's just that the "Ten Standing Attendants" kept in front of the Son of Heaven, urging the general He Jin to send troops to quell the rebellion. He Jin had no choice but to let Bao Hong reluctantly send troops in the situation of insufficient preparation.

As for Tao Qian's "promotion" appointment, this "old naughty boy" has offended the former lieutenant Zhang Wen. (1) Although Zhang Wen laughed at this, when the imperial court discussed the successor of Xuzhou Thorn History, he praised Tao Qian for "having the courage to do things", which is still okay.

As for whether Tao Qian has the ability to level the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army, anyway, before any official wants to rob this hot errand, everyone will recognize Tao Qian's ability.

Then, the Han court, which was still unable to rest assured about the Tai Marching Army, was also strategically prepared to face the sudden southward movement of the Tai Marching Army. Most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were scheming and agile, so naturally they would not pin their own safety on the safety of a group of Yellow Turban remnants.

Specifically, on the one hand, the imperial court appointed Dong Zhuo, a former general who had successfully repelled another attack by the Xiliang rebels led by Han Sui and Ma Teng, to serve as the pastor of the state and the Taishou of Hedong to guard against the strange situation of Baibo Valley Taiping Road. On the other hand, he stabbed Shi Ding Yuan in the original state and changed him to the cavalry captain, led the men and horses of the headquarters, and stationed troops in Hanoi County to prevent the Taixing army from going south.

At the same time, the second batch of 10 million yuan and 20,000 grains were also sent to Meiji County with the new appointment of Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan.

Cheng Yu, who was aware of the meaning of these actions of the imperial court, immediately put on the table for Zhang Qiang, and invited himself to be the "general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang", and at the same time told that Xianbei had recently made quite a difference, and asked the imperial court to let the "General Duliao" join forces with the Taixing army to jointly suppress the Xianbei people.

Of course. What was said above is actually nonsense. It is absolutely impossible for the Han court to give the rank of 2,000 stone to a person from the Yellow Turban so easily. Therefore, at the end of the seal, Cheng Yu added a sentence very lightly:

"More than 200,000 displaced people. Hunger and cold, only waiting for God's grace. ”

The meaning of this sentence is:

- I have 200,000 displaced people, and if the court does not solve the problem of their survival, they can revolt at any time!

After the watch seal was sent out, Zhang Qiang thought that there was no such thing, and he should do something. The actions of the Han court have little impact on the current situation of the arrogant.

Originally. Zhang Mad came to Bingzhou with the attitude of taking a handful and leaving, and he did not expect that the results of a series of battles of the Taixing Army would be so brilliant in the end.

After settling the hometown of the Xiongnu and subduing the neighbors Yan Liyou, Zhang Qiang suddenly found that he was in his hands. actually has a piece of fertile soil that is enough to become the future hegemony capital?

There are two counties of Wuyuan and Shuofang. Originally, it was a border county that was run in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Great Han Dynasty. This land, later known as the Hetao area, has always been famous throughout the country for "plugging the south of the Yangtze River".

Zhang Qi vaguely remembered that hundreds of years later, in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a nation. It was by relying on the Hetao region and the Ningxia Plain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River that a country qualified to compete with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State was established. It seems that the kingdom known as Western Xia was not wiped out by the barbarians until the time of the Mongol Temujin.

With this piece of land in hand, in the next two years. Zhang Da does not have to take the risk of competing with the world's heroes and go to the Central Plains to grab a piece of territory. As long as the Hetao Plain is developed, and then waiting for the opportunity to seize the annexed state, which is recognized as the land of bitter cold, the Taixing army will automatically have an excellent source of soldiers, grain and horses.

Once the state is completely occupied, the arrogant forces will succeed towards the founding of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the arrogant can fight steadily, the Central Plains heroes have exhausted their wealth and troops in the years of conquest, and the arrogant can take advantage of the fatigue of the heroes to move east or south, and lay a strategic pattern of dominating the world in one fell swoop!

Of course, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and you have to do everything one by one. I don't have time to pay attention to the chaotic Han dynasty and politics, and the recent affairs of the arrogant are already busy enough.

After returning from the site of Yanliyou, Zhang Qian first attended a groundbreaking ceremony for the erection of a monument.

This monument was erected for the first time in the history of the Taixing Army. In order to show solemnity, not only did Zhang Arrogant personally participate, but also some meritorious personnel from the army were transferred to attend together.

This monument is to record that a few months ago, seven warriors including Xiao Dazui died in the local battle.

Xiao Dazui and his group of eight people, facing the sudden appearance of the Hun cavalry, bravely faced it and fought for their lives. Except for Jia Li, who was sent out to report the enemy's situation, the remaining seven people were all killed on the spot, ten miles south of Meiji County.

It is especially worth mentioning that the people who went to collect the bodies of the seven people afterwards found that all the wounds on the bodies of these seven warriors appeared on the front of the body. Not even a single wound is in the back.

This small detail fully shows that Xiao Dazui and his party have been fighting until the last moment of their lives. Even with Dian Wei's competitiveness, Guan Yu's pride, after learning the news, was willing to come to the remains of the seven people and salute.

After the groundbreaking ceremony of the monument was held to enhance the sense of honor of the soldiers in the army, Zhang Qiang rushed to the south to welcome the third batch of displaced people sent from Baibo Valley.

Due to the experience of the previous two times and some of the money and grain provided by the Han court, this time the migration mortality rate of the displaced people was suppressed below 10 percent, which is a small miracle.

And along with these displaced people, there were also 30,000 pieces of coarse grain purchased by the Taixing army from Haoqiang in Taiyuan County, Bingzhou. I have to say that if Zhang Qi wants to resume production in Shuofang and Wuyuan counties, which have been abandoned for nearly ten years, the amount of money and food needed can be called an astronomical amount. If there is no support from the Yellow Turban Army treasure provided by Zhang Bao, this idea of insolence can only be a castle in the air.

What surprised Zhang even more was that he actually found a talent that he had been looking for a long time among this group of people who went north.

The man was more than eight feet tall, with thick arms and a distinct inverted triangle shape from shoulders to heels. Although he is only eighteen years old, judging from his demeanor and physical appearance alone, Zhang Qi thinks that this young general is at least in his twenties.

"Under your feet are Hedong Xu Huang and Xu Gongming?"

Without waiting for the other party to salute, he stepped forward a few steps. A hand held the other man's hands and stopped him from bowing down.

However, this person is a model of propriety, and even when his hands are held insolently, his body still makes a posture of prostration.

"Xu Huang of Yang County, Hedong, meet the captain!"

Xu Huang's voice. Some hoarseness, as if in the period of voice change, is in line with the characteristics of an eighteen-year-old boy. Zhang Yan specially glanced at the big axe next to Xu Huang, and finally confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed Xu Gongming, who was included in the "Five Good Generals" under Cao Cao.

Speaking of Zhang Madness's search for Xu Huang, he can make up a drama.

Zhang Qiang's memory of Xu Huang was obtained from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In addition to knowing the name "Xu Huang, Xu Gongming". Zhang Qiang doesn't remember his life experience, place of origin and other details very clearly, but he vaguely remembers that when Xu Huang appeared on the stage, he was mixed under Yang Feng.

According to this memory, as soon as Zhang Mad heard about Yang Feng's name, he immediately sent someone to Yang Feng's subordinates to inquire if there was a teenager. It's called Xu Huang.

Of course, these inquire. In the end, nothing came of it.

was unwilling to be arrogant, and then sent people to Han Xian and Song Guo's subordinates to inquire. The result, of course, was nothing. The insolence of the undead heart, when the envoy sent to Baibo Valley, he had to give a word of advice, and by the way, inquire about Xu Huang's news.

Not to mention that Zhang Maar's inquiry about Xu Huang was fruitless, but said that Guo Tai, who was the head of the Taiping Road in Bingzhou. After hearing that Zhang Qiang had been inquiring about a person named "Xu Huang", he immediately paid attention to this name.

Mrs. Guo, who is usually very concerned about Zhang Yan's actions, of course knows that Zhang Qi has always been considered to have the ability to recognize people. So, Mrs. Guo actually ordered accordingly. Investigate whether there is a person named "Xu Huang" among the Taiping Daoists in Bingzhou.

As a result, Xu Huang, who was inquired about in many places and still couldn't find him, was easily found by Mrs. Guo. After all, Xu Huang's hometown, Yang County, Hedong, is near Baibo Valley. And Xu Huang was young and outstanding in his bravery, and he served as a minor official in the county soldiers of Yang County, and he was also a well-known person in the local area.

Then next, Xu Huang was personally accepted as a disciple by Mrs. Guo, which can be regarded as robbing the arrogant Hu.

When Zhang Madness heard the news later, he almost vomited blood. From then on, Zhang Qi no longer dared to make a big fanfare, looking for those fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms who had not yet shown their heads, so as not to make wedding clothes for others.

However, Xu Huang himself was born in a family of believers in Taiping Dao, even if he was accepted as a disciple by Mrs. Guo, he and Zhang Qiang can always be regarded as a person all the way. Therefore, after learning about Xu Huang's current situation, Zhang Qiang also gently put this matter down.

However, the world is always like this, the so-called "stepping on iron shoes has nowhere to find, and it takes no effort to get it". Zhang Qi had already put down Xu Huang for the time being, and didn't think about him. As a result, Mrs. Guo took the initiative to send Xu Huang to Zhang Qiang.

This time, Xu Huang came as the leader of the Baibo Valley Escort Team, taking on the task of protecting the safety of the displaced people along the way and reducing personnel losses. When Zhang Qiang found out that there was such an opportunity for intimate contact between him and Xu Huang, he was secretly happy for a while.

Although the relationship between the Taimarching Army and Baibo Valley is still a close ally, it is not easy to poach insolently. However, the world is unpredictable, maybe when will Zhang Qiang have the opportunity to recruit Xu Huang in the future?

Therefore, the foundation must be laid first, and the future recruitment work will be easy to do. You don't see, it is recorded in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" how Liu Bei recruited Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong under Gongsun Zhan?

After accepting this batch of displaced people, the number reached 3,000 people, and left a warm enough impression on Xu Huang, he simply rested for a night, and early the next morning, he set off to the east with the personal guards non-stop, and came to the east thirty miles east of Meiji City to meet another wave of teams.

This wave of troops is none other than the craftsmen and baggage teams of the Taixing Army. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) "Three Kingdoms. The Book of Wu records:

Huixi Qiang Koubian, Huangfu Song is the general of the expedition to the west, and the military generals are invited. Summoned to worship the commander of the martial arts, and Song Zhengqiang, and broke it. Later, Zhang and Han were in chaos, and Sikong Zhang Wen was ordered to discuss; Please also be humble for joining the military, and be very generous in your encounters, and humble in your actions, and be unconvinced.

and the army returned, Bailiao Gaohui, Wen was humble and drunk, and humbled the people to humiliate Wen. Gentle and angry, humble to the side. Or Wen said: "Tao Gongzu was originally more important than the public, once drunk and negligent, not allowed to lend, far away from the hairy, virtuous and not end, people from all over the world are looking forward to it!" It is better to relieve regret and eliminate hatred, recover the initial division, and hear the virtue and beauty from afar. "Gentle words, but to return humility.

Humility, or humility, said: "Humiliate the three princes at your feet, and do your own sin, and now you are relieved, and you are not generous; It is advisable to bow down and thank him. Qian said, "No." It is also said that Wen said: "Tao Gongzu is deeply guilty of his own guilt and thinks about change." Thank you for the ceremony, and you will be public. The public should see it to comfort it. ”

Shi Wen saw Humility at the palace gate, and said humbly: "Humility thanks the court, is it a public evil?" Wen said: "Gongzu's dementia has not been eliminated? So he put wine for it and treated it as before.

Seeing these records, I felt that Tao Qian was suffering from the second illness, and he openly insulted his boss. It's weird, too.
