~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the last day of October in the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao, a generation of heroes, was hit one after another, was overly angry, and was heartbroken by the death of his second son, causing the arrow to burst and burst, attacking the heart against the blood, and vomiting blood several liters and died. On the same day, thousands of miles away, his brother, Yuan Shu, the son of the Zhong family, was also condemned by the imperial court, the princes betrayed the alliance, and his subordinates spurned, and ended up alone. Depressed and angry, he also vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and stepped into the ghost gate with one foot.
After Yuan Shao's death, the trial and Feng Ji took out a will that was said to be made by the lord, and the young son Yuan Shang led the Jizhou pastor to assist in the trial and discipline.
As for Tian Feng, another important minister, his luck was better than in history, because Yuan Shao was injured, no one paid attention to this person for a while, and as a result, he was kept in prison. After Yuan Shao's death, he was released, but because he was abandoned by the old master, the new master did not dare to use it again, so he resigned and went into hiding.
The state pastor is still led by the senior cadres, but strictly speaking, this state pastor does not have much territory, and there are only two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang that are really completely controlled. In addition, there are Yanmen, Xihe, Wuyuan, Yunzhong these counties, only the county where the county is located and a few small cities around it, there are officials ≥ Jizhou to manage, and the surrounding large areas of land are actually controlled by the Xiongnu and Karasuma people. If there is anything, there is no hope for it.
As for the eldest son Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's "arrangement" is very speechless. The will confessed that Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom in the north of Jizhou were assigned to Yuan Tan. In this way, Yuan Tan is equivalent to owning two and a half counties, which seems to be impartial, but in fact, it makes the recipient angry.
Not to mention that if the Great Jizhou, only two counties will be given. The location of these two counties alone made Yuan Tan feel full of malice from someone.
Bohai County is within the range of the Liaodong Bay sea strike. Since he suffered a big loss from Tai Shici the year before last, Yuan Tan knew that the Liaodong Army was the best at playing the hand of sea raids, and the Bohai Sea seemed to be safe, but it was actually dangerous. Hejian State is at the forefront of the war between Jizhou and Youzhou all the year round, and the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan basically took place here. In other words, Yuan Tan took over one county and one country. It's a hot potato. To put it mildly, it's purely to use it as a shield for his brother.
In this way, Yuan Tan's situation is that he is enemies on three sides, and it is simply self-inflicted guilt to come to such a territory. But can he either? Can I choose to go elsewhere?
There is no other way than to pinch your nose and accept it with hatred.
Historically, the other two important ministers of the Yuan Group: Xin Ping and Guo Tu, supported Yuan Tan, but at this time, Xin Ping was killed by Yuan Xi. The blame was hidden, and Guo Tu was even captured by Ma Hansheng. Yuan Tan, who lost his arm and stayed away from the center. It is only for anyone to pinch and rub it round.
Yuan Shao died, and the so-called people died and the debts were eliminated, so the Son of Heaven issued an edict again, and Yuan Shao was the Marquis of Pingyang (east of Yecheng. The rank is the township marquis), and Yuan Shang is the general of Zhenbei and the history of the Jizhou assassin; Yuan Tan was the general of Zhendong and the commander of the Bohai Sea. and sent someone to send the seal ribbon, and at the same time sent back a person - Guo Tu.
Requesting the return of Guo Tu. It's Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao's original words to Ma Han are like this: "Tu Su is not in harmony with the trial, and he is not in harmony with Tan Sushan." Now Tan is excluded, and his heart is not angry, but it is difficult to speak alone. If he returns to the picture, Tan will have his arm and help, and he will definitely be able to make his siblings gap, and his brothers will be on the wall. And the king waits for the soldiers, watching the fire from the other side, and there will be something to gain. ”
Dong Zhao was once an important advisor to Yuan Shao, and even once held an important position like the Taishou of Wei County, he can be said to have a very good understanding of the situation within the Yuan Group, and the strategies he offered are also very targeted, which is also very consistent with the pattern of the "post-Yuan Shao era" in Ma Han's impression.
Ma Han has some understanding of the infighting between the Yuan brothers after Yuan Shao's death, but the specific reasons and inducements are unknown. Dong Zhao's words undoubtedly opened up a new idea for him.
Ma Han immediately summoned Jia Xu and Guo Jia, discussed with the two, and at the same time sent messengers to solicit the opinions of Xun You, Xu Huang and Le Jin on the Hebei front, and even Zhang Liao, the Taishou of Dongjun, and finally decided to attack Hebei: release first and then receive, press north and east, encircle on all sides, and encroach on whales.
Put it first, that is, let it go, don't be too persecuted, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the mourning soldier who just died of the lord. Collect it later, wait for the opportunity, and clean it up in one fell swoop.
The northern pressure, with Zhao Yun's Liaodong Army, always put pressure on Jizhou to exhaust its army. Gradually moving eastward, the Donglai army of Tai Shi Ci gradually advanced, compressing the living space of the Yuan clan in Jizhou.
Surrounded on all sides, this is the biggest advantage of Ma Han over Cao Cao's expedition to Hebei in history.
Historically, even after Yuan Shao's death, in the face of two juniors who were not in the climate, Cao Cao fought quite a long time, with twists and turns, and it took a full five years to finally pacify Hebei.
At this point, it shows the strong advantages of Mahan's layout in the early years. It is different from Cao Cao's from south to north, from low to high, stiff and flat. Ma Han has Zhao Yun in the north, Tai Shici in the east, Lejin in the south, and Zhang Yan in the west.
Now that the prey has been netted, there is no need to rush to attack, lest the beast be trapped. Nibble a little bit, boil the frog in warm water, and when the time is ripe, swallow it again.
Ma Han set the time limit of this Hebei strategy plan at one year. During this year, it is necessary to make the two beasts in the cage bite each other, scarred, and see the right time to close the net and slaughter.
In November, Ma Han made heavy adjustments to the forces under his rule and the generals of all parties.
1. With Zhao Yun as the general of Anbei and the leader of Youzhou, he ruled six counties in the north of Youzhou, Liaoxi County, and the vast grassland area north of Lishui and south of Rao Leshui. Looking at this posture, it is the general who has determined Zhao Yun to be out of the jam in the future and pacify the grassland.
Second, Tai Shici is the general of Anton and leads the history of Qingzhou Thorn. At the same time, the Beihai phase hole was transferred to the dynasty, with Bingyuan as the Beihai phase, and Wang Xiu was engaged in governance. In this way, the entire territory of Qingzhou is controlled by Ma Han.
Third, with Xu Huang as the Taishou of Hedong, Xun You as the Taishou of Hanoi, and the cooperation of Ma Chao's other departments, the formation of a joint encirclement of the party. In the spring of next year, we will attack the high cadres and take back the state.
Fourth, with Ma Teng as the history of Liangzhou's assassination, he sent 5,000 to 10,000 troops in Ming Spring to assist Taiyuan.
Fifth, with Zhang Yan as the general of Pingbei. The troops came out of Jingcheng, attacked Jizhou in the east, and attacked Taiyuan in the west.
Sixth, with Le Jin as the general of Annam, he led the history of Yanzhou, unified the generals of Yanzhou counties, and defended against Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other forces in Huainan.
Finally, there is also a heavy measure, that is, the merger of six counties and one country, including Liaodong, Liaodong vassal state, Xuansu, Lelang, Daifang, Liaoning, and Liaobei, and establish a new state, that is, Liaozhou, the fourteenth state of the Han Dynasty. With Tian Yu as the general of Pingyu and the history of Liaozhou. The administrative office is located in Xiangping, Liaodong County.
Ma Han's new establishment of Liaozhou has three major benefits. One is to give the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven a long face, the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded for 200 years, and there have been only 12 states plus the school captain's department, commonly known as the thirteen states. At this time, a new state was opened up and the territory was expanded, which was enough for Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to lead a hundred officials to Mingtang to comfort the ancestors and ancestors. The second is that this also enhances the prestige of Ma Han himself, at any time. A general who expands territory is always admirable. In addition to these intangible prestige, there are practical benefits.
From a geographical point of view, the history department of Youzhou. Its thorn history is stationed in Zhuo County all the year round, thousands of miles away from Liaodong, and the roads are dangerous, which is difficult to manage effectively. This is also Gongsun Du's ability to be so strong in Gongsun Zhan. An important reason why it can also divide one side. After Ma Han opened up several counties in northern Liaoning, his land was thousands of miles away from Youzhou, and then it was under the jurisdiction of the Youzhou History Department. Obviously unrealistic. A new state, re-establishing the state governance, shortening the distance, and improving administrative efficiency are the ways to govern the country.
At the same time, a comprehensive adjustment has also been made in the army, and the names of the troops that have changed with the names of the places such as the Donglai Army and the Liaodong Army have all been cancelled, and the unified and fixed army numbers and flags have been adopted to enhance the sense of honor and constriction of the officers and men.
After consulting the Son of Heaven, the court deliberated, and the Son of Heaven actually controlled You, Qing, Xu, Yan, Liao, and Sili, a total of five states have been under their jurisdiction, and the subordinate armies are distributed according to their location, and a total of five armies are placed: East Qinglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, North Xuanwu, and Middle Dragon Wolf.
That is, Tai Shi Ci's Green Dragon Army, Xu Huang, Ma Chao's White Tiger Army, Lejin's Vermilion Bird Army, and Zhao Yun's Xuanwu Army. The Dragon Wolf Army is directly under the Son of Heaven (Ma Han), guarding Luoyang.
The "Dragon and Wolf Four Elephant Army", which made Qiang Hu frightened and the princes looked sideways, became an army.
The heavy decisions made by the hussar shogunate were promised by the Son of Heaven. With such an all-powerful and loyal brother-in-law, Liu Xie can completely put his heart into his great cause of cultivating immortals.
In December, Zhenxi generals Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin Army, and Shan Yu Huchuquan of the Southern Xiongnu entered Luoyang to pay homage to the Son of Heaven and were rewarded.
Ma Han interviewed the forces of all parties one by one to discuss the matter of joint war next year. Although there is an uninvited Han Sui, since people are willing to contribute, Ma Han does not hesitate to give benefits. To the official, to the knight, to the reward, to the land - however, according to the old rules of the late Han Dynasty, only the blank is given, and the territory is fought by itself. And the biggest difference between Ma Han and the Son of Heaven and the princes is that you can't mess around and rob, you can only be in the territory I designated, otherwise, how much you eat now, you will have to spit out in the future.
Han Sui was also a thorn in the coffin among the warlords of the late Han Dynasty, but he still gave face to the old Ma family, and he was also very admired and even a little in awe of Ma Han's prestige - those who could defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan head-on and annihilate the Xiliang army were enough to make the Xiliang people awe at any time.
At the end of the month, all the generals returned, but Huchuquan was stranded. After that, he was trapped in Luoyang for a long time and never returned to the tribe, and the Southern Xiongnu were ruled by the Right Xian King.
A few years later, the Han Dynasty was unified, and Ma Han divided the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions, each of which selected nobles as commanders, and did not make Han people Sima to supervise them. After a few years, Ma Han ordered the entire Southern Xiongnu clan to be moved to Jiaozhou, well, that is, the current Yunnan-Guizhou area - if you like to raise horses so much, go there to raise dwarf horses. If you don't want to go, you will drive back to Mobei, and you can't stay in the Central Plains anyway.
In the end, nearly 10,000 Huns chose to return to Mobei, and what "greeted" them were the vicious Xianbei people who were expelled by Zhao Yun and had nowhere to hide......
Of course, that's another story.
Ma Han's next task was to sit in Luoyang, unify the north and the south, hoard grain, and prepare for war.
It is foreseeable that the four years of Jian'an will be a year when the dragon and wolf four elephant armies will bloom everywhere and the Dahan rivers and mountains will be red. (To be continued......)
