Chapter 168: Returning One after another
"Ziyu has been fortunate all the way."
The first to return was Hua Xin, and with him, in addition to Dian Wei, there were hundreds of scribes, but at this time Hua Xin only came with a man, and the rest of the scribes reported to the government and placed them in Bingzhou.
"Thank you for your concern, and for living up to your mission, please come to Guan Ning and Bingyuan. The rest of the people are Guan Ning's disciples, and they are coming with him now, but there is one more thing to make public with the lord, Guan You'an is stubborn, even if it takes months of work, he is not willing to be an official, but now Liaodong is very uneven, and he agreed to live in seclusion in Bingzhou under my persuasion. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Xin couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, and then he stepped aside and let a blue-robed man introduce Wei Tao and said.
"This person is Bing Genju, his line is noble, he is obedient, his talent is overflowing, and he is not as good as Xin."
This is Hua Xin's modesty, Hua Xin will not be much worse than Bing Yuan in terms of virtue, but he is even more on it in terms of talent.
However, at this time, Wei Tao naturally couldn't snub Bing Yuan, and immediately stepped forward to salute Bing Yuan.
"Tao has seen Mr. Bingyuan, I have heard of Mr. Bingyuan's talent, and I am very fortunate to see him today. Tao does not dare to say that he has great ambitions, but I hope that my Han will not be harassed by foreign races, so that the people of the world will not suffer from war, and I hope that Mr. can help him. ”
"How dare you be a general?"
Seeing Wei Tao saluting himself, Bing Yuan hurriedly saluted Wei Tao as well.
"Foreign races have invaded my Han Dynasty, disrupted the order of our Han Dynasty, and displaced the people of the world. The original talent is shallow. Don't dare to climb high and be willing to govern a county for the general. Educate and educate. Let the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”
"The talent of a gentleman, even if it is too guarded by a government, it is also acceptable, why not limited to just one county?"
Hearing Bing Yuan's words, Wei Tao knew that Bing Yuan had entered his own coffin, and immediately said with a smile, and then took one person into the mansion with one hand, and then made a big banquet to congratulate.
After that, Wei Tao had a long talk with Bing Yuan and found that Bing Yuan was also a pragmatic person. Moreover, most of his talents are above education and governance, and as for strategy, it is indeed not his forte.
Seeing this, Wei Tao entrusted him with a county and made it govern and educate.
"There are many hardships in going north to Liaodong, but it is hard work."
After settling Bingyuan, Wei Tao invited Hua Xin alone to Wen Yan and said.
"Thank you for your concern, but I didn't expect that if the situation changes today, Yuan Shu is so frustrated, and he directly proclaims himself the emperor, which can be described as a great rebellion!"
Hua Xin talked about it. There was also a little excitement on his face.
"I didn't expect that the dignified Han had changed so much in recent years, and I thought it was just the majesty of the Han that had been damaged. The Great Han fell into a trough and riots, but now, even those rebellious and disobedient people have appeared, is it true that the Great Han has reached the last moment......"
Speaking of the most beautiful post, Hua Xin's voice can almost only be heard by himself.
In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the world still regards the Han family as orthodox, and now the Han family has declined to this point, but those Han family relatives have never been cheered up, how not to disappoint the people of the world?
"Ziyu, what you said before is not peaceful in Liaodong now, but what happened to Liaodong?"
Seeing Hua Xin like this, Wei Tao immediately diverted the topic, and at the same time raised the doubts in his heart.
"Isn't that Wuhuan ready to move again?"
"No, but the Black Mountain Army has advanced to Beiping, and the White Horse Yicong under Gongsun Zan has been killed and wounded, that is, even the Gongsun Du who came to help was defeated by it and was embarrassed. And in Xin's humble opinion, I am afraid that Gongsun Chan will not last long, and there will be news of him in March at most. ”
Hearing Hua Xin say this, Wei Tao suddenly felt that the current Black Mountain Army was quite like the uncontrollable Yellow Turban in the past.
And Wei Tao understands that unlike Zhang Jiao, who is preparing to fight the world, Zhang Ning's is advocating the gradual encroachment and annexation of the Han Dynasty, in contrast, Zhang Ning's foundation is more stable.
For example, which of the princes from all walks of life today does not know that the Black Mountain Army is actually the evolution of the Yellow Turban Thief, but until now, it has not only been recognized by the imperial court, but is still preparing to become a great prince across the two states.
"Although there are some characters in the Montenegrin army, they are not real generals, even if the corporal under the command of Gongsun Chan is not as good as the Montenegrin army, he will definitely not be defeated so easily, dare to ask Ziyu why?"
A talent like Hua Xin will naturally take the initiative to explore the secret of the strength of the Montenegrin Army.
"In fact, it is also simple to say, although the scourge of the Yellow Turbans in the past has been destroyed, there are still many remnants of the Yellow Turbans scattered in the world. Because of the order of the imperial court, the princes everywhere were unceremonious to these Yellow Turban remnants. Although the remnants of the Yellow Turban were numerous, they still lost more than they won under such encirclement and suppression. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Wei Tao ask, Hua Xin immediately replied.
"But I don't know how the Black Mountain Army rumored it, but the yellow scarves from all over the world have quietly gathered, that Gongsun Zhan does have some skills, but in my opinion, if it weren't for the Montenegrin Army's intentional control, I'm afraid Beiping would have fallen into the hands of the Black Mountain Army."
"Intentional control?"
Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and he didn't quite understand.
"Even though the Montenegrin Army is not afraid of the attrition of numbers, with my understanding of the Montenegrin Army Zhang Ning and others, she shouldn't do such a useless thing, right?"
"The lord still knows the leader of the Black Mountain Army?"
Hua Xin was slightly curious, but he didn't have the slightest intention of exploring, but continued to answer.
"I think that after the defeat of the Yellow Turban, the Black Mountain Army should also be Zhilu Dao only in numbers, not an army at all, so he deliberately controlled the offensive and used Gongsun Chan to train the ability of the generals and soldiers under his command. Although the number of casualties was heavier, the Montenegrin army was now extremely strong. ”
"Oh? How is it compared to the white horse? ”
Wei Tao was slightly stunned and asked.
"Bai Ma Yicong was defeated in the hands of three times the number of the Black Mountain Army, you must know that Lu Dao is not a cavalry, and the Black Mountain Army is not as brave as Gongsun Zhan's subordinate."
Hua Xin smiled slightly bitterly, with Hua Xin's talent, he could naturally think that after occupying Youzhou, the next step for the Montenegrin Army must be to recuperate, and then look south to Jizhou, and then inevitably have to fight with Wei Tao at that time.
"Although more than half of the Black Mountain Army was killed or wounded at that time, it can also be seen that it is strong, since the first battle, Gongsun Chan has been defeated and retreated again and again, and now he can only hold on to Beiping, and it seems that he should not last long."
"I see."
Wei Tao nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.
Wei Tao had already found that after the victory over the Xiongnu, his development had stagnate all of a sudden, although he had also gained some benefits, but it was much slower than that of other princes.
Of course, if you regret it or something, it won't be, no matter what, 'those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away' is indeed Wei Tao's ideal now.
It's just that Wei Tao understands that if he doesn't have the strength, I'm afraid that this ideal will become a fantasy, and he will walk in this great era in vain.
"It seems that I can only expect Ziyu, after so many months, I should be back soon, I hope he will not disappoint me."
After Wei Tao made a decision in his heart, he had already issued his own orders, but what really made Wei Tao hope was not anything else, but Zhuge Jin.
The territory of the annexed state is sparsely populated, and it is not easy to recruit soldiers, so it is important to bring in outsiders.
And this time, Zhuge Jin is not just attracting Si Li's homeless people, he also has a more important task.
In fact, it is true, ten days after the victory, Zhuge Jin also led people back, and it was tens of thousands.
Most of them are Sili refugees, but many of them are in military uniforms, although they are tattered, but they can also be distinguished as soldiers.
The defeated soldiers of Li Xun and others.
This time, in addition to the displaced people, it is these defeated soldiers who really need Zhuge Jin, a great talent, to persuade these defeated troops to join the state and become soldiers of the state, which is Zhuge Jin's real task.
Of course, such a mission is also extremely dangerous, so Wei Tao let Zhao Yun accompany him.
"Ziyu."
This time Wei Tao was really out of the city for ten miles to greet him, after seeing Wei Tao, Zhuge Jin immediately dismounted and walked quickly, and after walking in front of Wei Tao, he hurriedly bowed.
"Meet the lord, Jin has lived up to the trust of the lord, and has persuaded all the people who are willing to settle in my state, with these people here, it will be able to quickly restore the strength of my state."
The vast land and sparsely populated state does not mean that the state can accommodate many people at this time, after all, the grain production and other things in this era are not as good as in the future, and the fields that can be divided are also very limited.
However, this matter was handled by Zhuge Jin, and Wei Tao was very relieved.
At this time, a general in armor also stepped forward and walked in front of Wei Tao to bow respectfully.
"The last general, Yang Feng, visited the lord, and asked the lord to forgive the lord for being late in the future."
Yang Feng?
Wei Tao was slightly startled, he couldn't imagine that Zhuge Jin and Yang Feng were persuaded for himself, no wonder Wei Tao could find many Xiliang soldiers at a glance.
General Yang also regretted that he had not been able to directly follow the lord in the past, and after the defeat of Li Xuan, General Yang gathered a lot of Xiliang soldiers on his own. After seeing Jin, General Yang decided to come to the same place, and asked the lord to accept it. ”
At this time, Zhuge Jin also spoke, and finally let Wei Tao roughly understand why Yang Fenghui came to take refuge.
"Huh...... was able to get the help of General Yang Feng, and Wei was fortunate to be a general. ”
Wei Tao naturally knew the truth of buying horse bones, not to mention that although Yang Feng's own ability was not first-class, it was not a problem to lead an army.
"In the future, I will have to do my best to help the general."
"Promise, I will help the lord to achieve a great cause and ensure the longevity of my great man!"
After being accepted by Wei Tao, Yang Feng's original heart suddenly let go, and he promised loudly. (To be continued......)
