Chapter 40: The Nanyang Incident
He sent his subordinates to go to various streets to visit the people's homes and inquire about Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng; At the same time, he also asked the landlord Haoqiang about the whereabouts of Huang Zhong, two attacks, or the people first found out the news, it turned out that Huang Zhong ran to Jingzhou to avoid the Yellow Turban War, Guan Yu just came, Huang Zhong just left, the two of them one after the other, Guan Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed after hearing it, you have to know that this is a generation of famous generals! Thousands of dollars are easy to get, talents are hard to find, Huang Zhong is really a big regret in life when he misses him, but it doesn't matter, he Guan Yu will accept this guy sooner or later.
Guan Yu did not take long to become famous in Nanyang, especially in the upper class, his name was quickly spread, and there were too many evaluations of him: young and promising, heroes and teenagers, outstanding talents, clean and self-disciplined, all positive remarks, won rave reviews in Nanyang, Guan Yu's status in the army is also rising, especially the soldiers he led are even more fond of him as a commander, he is like a god in their hearts.
However, such a day did not last long, the envoy of the imperial court came to Nanyang, naturally the first one to find was Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo soon met with the envoy, the envoy read the emperor's decree to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo heard that he hurriedly took the decree, and respectfully kowtowed to thank him, it turned out that as he said in the court before, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent Dong Zhuo to conquer Zhang Jiao in Jizhou, and crowned him as the general of the expedition to the east to lead the expedition to the metropolitan governor instead of Lu Zhi to conquer Zhang Jiao, After Dong Zhuo received the order, he couldn't help but wonder: When will this kind of conquest be a head after several times, is he a pawn in the court to be used back and forth? Not to mention raising money and food by yourself, you have to prepare your own military horses, not to mention that the main reason is that you don't have a stable rear to run around so much, and it's good to say that you have to win, if you are defeated, your own capital is put in, and it is a bamboo basket to draw water!
So he needs to have a stable rear of his own in case of contingencies, and when the time comes, he can have a haven to retreat to, and he wants to stay in Hedong, Liangzhou and today's Yuzhou, but his ass is about to leave before he sits firmly, and he hasn't had time to catch any benefits, this is not good, he needs to plan a base of his own in these places, but which one is better to choose? It has been more than three years since he left Hedong, and his influence there has decreased a lot, and when he was in Hedong, he had exploited it enough, and Hedong no longer had any advantages at all, and Liangzhou himself had been there for more than a year, and he had not carried out a big exploitation, and the power had just penetrated, Liangzhou was located in the west, and he was backed by Xiqiang, which was his hometown, and he used to be thicker with the Qiang king, and he had gained a lot of contacts from the Qiang people, so Xiliang was his base, As for this Nanyang itself, it has only been settled in for a few months, and the local power is so strong, Nanyang is a large county in the Central Plains, a place where soldiers must fight, although the population is large, but the place is not familiar, it is by no means a place to live for a long time, at most he can be called a passerby, in summary, Dong Zhuo decided to infiltrate his potential power into Xiliang.
This time he wants to completely pave his back road, because the object of this battle is different from the past, this time he has to face the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, this corner is not an ordinary opponent, you must know that Lu Dao can turn the entire Han Dynasty upside down, how much energy does this need? There must be two strikes, Lu Zhi and Huangpu Song were defeated in his hands, which shows that this corner is powerful, so this expedition is different from the past, and it is unknown how sure his chances of winning are, Dong Zhuo must leave a way back for himself, and to set Xiliang as his own nest, he must send some capable cadres to guard it, and who is more appropriate to send?
Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji are all cadres who have followed him for many years, and they are all from Xiliang, so it is naturally more appropriate to send them, but it is not good to recruit Zhang Jiao without manpower! After comprehensive consideration, I still sent Li Dao and Guo Yan and his son-in-law Niu Futong to grasp it, these are all his own cronies, especially Niu Fu is his son-in-law, with this relationship it is much safer, and the remaining Guan Yu, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Su, Hua Xiong, including the newly promoted Wen Ping and Li Yan, with these generals, there is no shortage of manpower to recruit, especially about Yu Zai, he has the same bottom in his heart, this is his own right-hand man, with him will not worry about how difficult the road ahead is. …,
Dong Zhuo's plan has been decided and he began to plan, if he wants to make such a personnel change, he Dong Zhuo said that it is not possible to have the approval of the imperial court, especially the Lingdi side, so Dong Zhuo quickly drafted a recital, which stated that Li Dao was the history of the Western Liang Thorn, Guo Yan was the deputy general, Niu Fu was the Taishou of Liangzhou, and Guan Yu was the general of Anton. Why did Dong Zhuo promote Guan Yu to General Zuo This also has Dong Zhuo's considerations, which shows Dong Zhuo's superb employment skills, promote people in advance, first give the party a title to make the party sweet, and have the passion of the officer, this is not about to go east, but also to rely on Guan Yu, so promote him first, and when he conquers Zhang Jiao in the future, Guan Yu can do his best for him.
After sending the envoy away, Dong Zhuo quickly planned another thing, what was it? That is to scrape the wealth of Nanyang, the goal is to target these landlords and strong old wealthy, the previous Dong Zhuo pretended to be training for the name of the armed forces of these landlords and old wealthy, this time he wants to completely copy their family property, of course, those imperial relatives and Li Yan and Wenpin's family, the rest of the family property is not let go, all confiscated family property, Dong Zhuo thought of this to order Hua Xiong and Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others to lead the army to action, at this time there was a report from his subordinates: Nanyang's landlords and heroes all gathered outside Nanyang Mansion, saying that they wanted to see him, Dong Zhuo quickly realized: This is clearly an important person, who is the 30,000 people who helped train before, hum! Want to have a tooth extracted from a tiger's mouth? It's not that easy, it's really heaven that you don't have a way to go, and hell has no door to ask for! If you don't look for me, I'll look for you!
Dong Zhuo then instructed his subordinates to find Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, and instructed the three of them, and the three of them quickly took the order to go, but said that this group of landlords and old wealth gathered outside Nanyang Mansion, just waiting for Dong Zhuo to come to greet them in person, the purpose of their visit this time was just as Dong Zhuo guessed, to ask for their own arms, these people learned that the envoy of the imperial court was coming, and immediately heard the news, when they learned that Dong Zhuo was going to the east, they were immediately anxious, and there were 30,000 people in Dong Zhuo's place, and this Dong Zhuo's person is a guy who eats meat and does not spit out bones, At that moment, these landlords and old fortunes panicked, and they gathered together to come to Dong Zhuo to ask for people, after all, this is their entire family background! But they knew there that Dong Zhuo had already made a preemptive strike at this time
