Chapter 38: The August Message
July is over, August is coming, this is a harvest month, whether it is for Wen Chou, or for the people of the counties under its jurisdiction, it is all over the world, the princes of the world who have been dormant for a long time, also smell the breath of harvest, and as the ruler of the world - Liu Hong, also harvested!
Before the arrival of this month, the people in Gaoyi County and Shahe have been completely prepared, not only the population is sufficient, the labor is rich, but also the farm tools are also made under the overtime of the craftsmen in the counties and townships. In addition, the original agricultural tools, compared with the rapid increase in population, although not all of them can be supplied, but it is still more than enough to cope with this harvest season.
It's just that the subsequent reclamation and cultivation are quite poor. Even though Wen Chou had been prepared for a long time, he didn't expect the population to increase so much! The original plan of more than 70,000 has grown to more than 80,000, nearly 90,000! How can Wen Chou not have a headache! The increase in population naturally means the strength of the power, but it also means a series of problems, food, housing, clothing, arable land, etc., which one can not make Wen Chou distressed?!
A large number of people need to be fed, they need to open up the land for farming, originally supplied to the county, the township surplus plough, suddenly nervous, and the manufacture of plough is quite troublesome, time-consuming quite long, even though Wen Chou has implemented the practice of assembly line in the county, but still can not supply it in time. And then there will be a scarcity of ploughing cattle! The cattle that can be searched and purchased by Wen Chou in neighboring counties have all entered the hands of Wen Chou, and they are still not enough! And Wen Chou was also because of this incident, and his 'wallet' just had some bulging meaning, and it was immediately stifled again.
Wen Chou is doing this, a life where money is not enough and money is not in his hands! There is often a monetary income. Before Wen Chou's hands passed, he was transferred to the construction of another side by Wen Chou. It is said that these political, commercial, and war affairs run by Yi Wenchou have at least 20 million or 30 million yuan in one or two months, and in the past year, it has exceeded 100 million yuan. But the current Wen Chou has almost nothing! This is the reason why Shahe Township and Gaoyi County can develop rapidly!
Since Liu Hong ascended the throne. Disasters occur frequently in China, and every harvest season is also an eventful season. Because they have been dormant for a long time, the thieves who have long been worried about the grain are about to start dispatching! or before the grain is harvested, they march in with a large army, plunder and reap it all, and then go away; Or after the harvest of the people, the thieves return. Loot and return with a full load. And the counties can't be systematized!
Now that the harvest is coming, the army of Wen Chou has naturally been prepared for a long time, not only the number of scouts and scouts has increased greatly, but also the mobile forces are always ready, able to leave the station at any time, and attack the invaders and thieves! Although the entire Gaoyi County is not surrounded like an iron bucket, there is no flaw. But it can also deter most of the thieves who are ready to move!
However, there are some powerful thieves, such as Guo Daxian's department and Li Damu's department in the previous period of total victory. I won't take Wen Chou's Xu troops to heart! And now Guo Daxian retreated to the house county after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Wen Chou. After that, although he was still unwilling, he sent several tentative soldiers to Gaoyi County to harass Wen Chouzhi, but they were all under Lu Liang's beautiful command. Annihilated all.
It is because he knows that he is no longer Wen Chou's opponent, although he knows that he is not an opponent, but he still will not let Wen Chou have a good time, and he has successively written to the Black Mountain Army Daqu Shuai, and Zhang Yan, the general of the Ping Difficulty. Make them pay attention to the soldiers of Wen Chou, and describe the abomination of Wen Chou, and continuously annex and compress the power and territory of their Black Mountain Army!
In a series of letters from Guo Daxian, Zhang Yan had a rough understanding of the development process of the Wenchou forces and their current strength. His perceptual attitude towards the ugly has also undergone a transformation of contempt, indifference, attention, and attention! It was the step-by-step development and growth of Wen Chou that made Zhang Yan have a deep sense of fear!
After dispatching a series of scouts to try to find out the current situation of Wen Chou's forces, he asked this question: "If Wen Chou is allowed to develop like this, will this Changshan still have its own foothold?!" The answer is no!
In this way, he decided to shift his strategic goal, from the previous strategy of mainly attacking the soldiers of Changshan Country and gradually encroaching on the counties in the county, to concentrating all the forces that can be concentrated in the surrounding area, mainly to eliminate the Wenchou forces, supplemented by guarding against the soldiers of Changshan County, and trying to make the forces of Wenchou disappear in their infancy.
After all, the Montenegrin Army is only a loose alliance and has no specific subordinate relationship, and in the absence of interests, other military departments will not be at the mercy of Zhang Yan! will not be Zhang Yan's spear head.
And Zhang Yan's base camp is in the north of Changshan Country, where there is still the threat of county soldiers, so he does not dare to send most of his troops south to eliminate Wen Chou. This puts Zhang Yan in a dilemma! That is, he has the intention to eliminate the forces of ugliness, but he is unable to implement them.
It is only on the one hand that it tries to contact other thieves and state their interests; On the other hand, he tried his best to make peace with the county soldiers, so that he could draw troops to deal with Wen Chou. After all, he still has a formal military position as a general in peace, which makes his choice more multifaceted. Of course, the harassment of Wen Chou will not be able to develop smoothly, and activities to buy time for themselves will also be staged one after another. And this harvest month is the beginning of these actions.
In this harvest month, Wen Chou's eyes are not only concerned about the affairs in the county, this month, another news from the Shendu court has also greatly attracted Wen Chou's attention and attention. And this news is enough to attract the attention of any person in the world.
In the fifth year of Zhongping, in August, perhaps the last time 'I wanted to tour the old residence between the rivers in the north' was not feasible, which led to the stimulation of a case of rebellion, and the fear of rebellion and thieving rebellion in various places that are now intensifying; In addition, in order to divide the military power of the general He Jin, who is getting bigger and bigger, he decided to form an army today, that is, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan!
He recruited strong men in Luoyang West Park to set up this military organization to achieve the goal of controlling the general He Jin.
Eight of the lieutenants were appointed as follows:
Captain of the Upper Military Academy - Little Yellow Door. Jian Shuo,
Lieutenant of the Chinese Military Cadet - General Hu Ben Zhonglang. YUAN Shao,
Lieutenant of the Lower Military Cadet - Lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry. Bao Hong,
Lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy - Yi Lang. Cao Cao,
Lieutenant Zuo of the Auxiliary Army - Zhao Rong,
Lieutenant of the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army - Feng Fang,
Captain Zuo - Counseling Doctor. XIA Mou,
Right Lieutenant - Chun Yuqiong.
The captains of the colonels are all in the hands of Jian Shuo. Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo was in charge of all armies and was directly ordered by Liu Hong, the son of heaven. The momentum was huge, and even He Jin had to be ordered by him.
The news of this news made Wen Chou nervous suddenly, because in this list of appointments, he saw several figures who would be active on the stage for years and decades to come! It was they who set off one event after another, led one era after another, guided one general trend after another, and participated in one historical event after another that will be famous in later generations! It is no exaggeration to say that they are the trendsetters of the moment!
Among them, the most eye-catching quotation is that in the future, the two protagonists in the northern princes' struggle for hegemony - Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!
Last time, when it was said that Wang Fen wanted to invite him to carry out the major event of 'abolishing the establishment', Cao Cao replied with a long letter quite righteously and persuaded him! But it was not adopted by Wang Fen, and in the end Wang Fen was defeated, and it can be seen that Cao Cao is still very strategic. But only two months after Wang Fen's defeat and death, Cao Cao was reinstated by the imperial court, and he was also the leader of the Lang and the military captain. Maybe there is, maybe not, but Wen Chou still believes in the character of Emperor Wei Wu very much.
Cao Cao's road to officialdom was full of twists and turns, from the age of twenty to the captain of Luoyang Beidu, because he killed the uncle of the little yellow door Jian Shuo, and became famous in Luoyang, and at the same time offended the eunuchs! led to the subsequent dismissal of officials, during which there were ups and downs, until the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out at the age of thirty, and he was worshiped as a cavalry lieutenant and went to the battlefield. This time he became a magistrate; And Cao Cao's magistrate was not very smooth, because of the rectification of corrupt officials and corrupt officials and offended too many people, and then simply returned to the township under the pretext of illness, studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and temporarily lived in seclusion.
After a year or two of seclusion, it was only now that it was reactivated, which was the position of the above-mentioned councillor and military captain. Such a large-span promotion and enablement can be regarded as amazing, and it is amazing together. This is the advantage of being a well-born and self-reliant person, and he can be recognized by the Luoyang Imperial Court! It is far from being comparable to a small person like Wen Chou and a person with no background! You must know that not everyone has a father who is up to the third prince's captain, although Cao Song's position as a captain was bought with hundreds of millions of dollars!
But Cao Cao's background and fame are much worse than his future rival Yuan Shaolai! That is, when it comes to the experience of being an official, Yuan Shao is also much smoother than Cao Cao.
He was born in a powerful family of eunuchs during this period. Since his great-grandfather Yuan An, there have been five officials in the fourth generation who worship the three dukes. Father Yuan Feng, the official worships Sikong. Uncle Yuan Kui, the official worships Situ. Uncle Yuan Cheng, the official worshiped Zuo Zhonglang General, died early. Yuan Shaoshu came out and succeeded Yuan Cheng into a room.
But Yuan Shao was born handsome and mighty, and was very loved by Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui. With his world's wealth and young age, Yuan Shao was already the magistrate of Puyang County before he reached the age of the weak crown. Soon, due to the death of his mother's illness, he served in mourning, and then made up for his father's funeral, a total of six years. After that, Yuan Shao refused the imperial court's call and lived in seclusion in Luoyang. During this period, he lived in seclusion on the surface to 'raise hope', secretly befriended party members, raised his value, and opposed eunuchs. He Miao, He Hao, Xu You, Cao Cao, etc., were all famous people.
It was not until after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that Yuan Shao responded to the call of the general He Jin. He Jinnai is the half-brother of today's son, Empress Liu Hong, who is a foreign Qi Guixian, commanding the left and right Yulin armies, and is dissatisfied with the dictatorship of eunuchs. Yuan Shao intended to use He Jin's power to get rid of the eunuchs, and He Jin also trusted Yuan Shao because of the Yuan family's prominence. Since then, the relationship between the two has been extraordinary.
Until this time, Yuan Shao was appointed as the general of Yihu Ben Zhonglang, and concurrently served as the lieutenant of the Chinese military, which was the second of the eight captains! It has nothing to do with He Jin.
