Guo Jia is a smart man, and at the same time he cherishes his life very much.

If you live, you still have hope, but if you die, you have nothing.

In the end, Guo Jia was a strategist, not a Confucian scholar, and he did not always have loyalty to the Han family like Xun Yu, but in the end he vacillated between Cao Cao and the Han Emperor, and finally gave his life. His death caused Cao Cao to break his arm, but at the same time, it also deprived the Han Emperor of a support. Guo Jia is different from Xun Yu, he knows better than Xun Yu when to bow his head and when to back down.

In Hanying, the heart is in Cao?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xu Shu has now arrived under his hands, and there must be no more allusions to being in Cao Ying's heart in Han. didn't think about it, Guo Jia still made such a fuss.

Anyway, being able to cut off one of Cao Cao's arms is the biggest redemption

Cao Cao's ghost, a poisoner, did make Liu Chuang feel a headache.

Now snatch Guo Jia away, even if he can't figure it out, Cao Cao will be distressed...... This is a good thing for Liu Chuang.

"In that case, please follow me up the mountain."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and looked Liu Chuang up and down.

After a while, he suddenly spoke: "Meng Yan, do you know what I regret the most in my life?" ”

"Oh?"

"When I was in Xudu, I shouldn't have been moved by Wen Ruo's words, and I shouldn't have been soft-hearted because of my fellow villagers. If I kill you at that time, within three years, Cao Gong will be able to dominate the north. When the time comes, the chalk army of millions will go south, and it is a pity that the Zhongxing Han family is not empty talk, and it is a pity that the imperial uncle is spared, but it makes it impossible for the Han family to prosper. ”

Guo Jia wanted to disturb Liu Chuang's mind, but he didn't know that Liu Chuang was a traverser, how could he not know the development of history?

That's right, if Liu Chuang hadn't appeared, Cao Cao would have pacified the north within three or five years, but Guo Jia also lost his life. Since then, Cao Cao has always wanted to dominate the world, but he has failed to succeed in his life, and finally the three parts of the world have exhausted the vitality of the Han family.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang said: "Fengxiao had good thoughts at the beginning, but he didn't know that it was precisely for the Han family to retain vitality. ”

Who is prosperous in the Han Dynasty, it is still unknown!

It didn't take much effort to arrest Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was also very cooperative, and after following Liu Chuang up the mountain, he closed the door.

And Zhang Yan also took this opportunity to move the generals of the Montenegrin Army. He first explained in detail the reason why he defected to Liu Chuang, which was nothing more than that Liu Chuang was the uncle of the Han Emperor who was ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard the northern frontier, and in a short period of time, he seized Youzhou and occupied the north, which was the destiny of heaven.

At the same time, he also illustrates the true thoughts of his heart.

Millions of Montenegrins must be properly accommodated...... I think that at the beginning, these Montenegrins voted for him because they believed in him. Now that he has a future, he must make proper arrangements for these Montenegrins.

The Yellow River has nine meanders, and the land is fertile and sparsely populated. Wouldn't it be a good thing if everyone voted for Liu Chuang, they could get enough land?

Land!

This is the foundation on which the Chinese people have relied for their livelihood for thousands of years.

To put it bluntly, the Montenegrin crowd is actually a group of ordinary people who lost their land and had to flee their homes.

If they can regain the land, I believe they can settle down quickly, and there will be no much resistance. Of course, the millions of Montenegrins who followed Zhang Yan to the Hetao can further strengthen Zhang Yan's voice under Liu Chuang's account, and the total population of Liu Chuang's hands is only more than three million chalks, which is about four million if you count the Montenegrin people. The Montenegrin people suddenly accounted for a quarter of the population, which was definitely a big barrier for the generals of the Montenegrin army. In contrast, serving Cao Cao did not have so many benefits.

"However, Uncle Liu Yecheng was newly defeated, and Cao Sikong swept Wei County and joined Liu Huangla........."

Some of the leaders still felt unsure, and couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, "So what?"

Even if Uncle Liu Huang loses to Cao Sikong in the future, you and I occupy the Hetao, and we have enough resources to negotiate conditions with Cao Sikong, which is better than serving Cao Cao in the name of a thief now. I think that at the beginning, I led everyone to lay a huge family business, and everyone was convinced of me; Now, I need people to continue to believe in me. Although Uncle Liu Huang is weak now, it seems unwise to defect to him, but in fact, it can make you and me invincible. ”

Speaking of which, although there are still people who are reluctant, they dare not speak out again.

Zhang Yan's prestige in the Montenegrin army is too strong, and over the years, under his leadership, although the Montenegrin army has fallen into the grass, it has also lived well.

"Uncle Huang, fortunately, I am not dishonored."

The next night, Zhang Yan came to visit Liu Chuang's residence.

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was also relieved, and couldn't help but smile: "Yan Shuai is really extraordinary." ”

He immediately unfolded the map and gave Zhang Yan a detailed explanation.

As early as the beginning of the year, when Liu Chuang decided to have a chalky touch with Zhang Yan, Zhuge Liang, Xun Mou and others designed a place to place the Black Mountain people.

Along the big river from west to east, from Montenegro people can be placed in Linrong, Woye, Guangmu, Heyin and Linwo.

These five counties, in fact, also include the two counties of Shuofang and Wuyuan. Among them, the number of Han people in Shuofang County is less than 10,000, and the number of Han people in Wuyuan is only in the early 20,000s.

Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a little sad and said: "Since Meng Tian expanded the land for 3,000 miles, and the general Wei Qing swept through Saibei, Shuo is convenient for the land of fish and rice, and the land is fertile, which is more suitable for grazing. It's a pity that the imperial court has always refused to invest too much strength in this, and even lent this place to the southern Xiongnu to rest and recuperate, and it became the foundation for the Huns to raid Koubian. If we can settle a million chalk people in these two miles, no matter how powerful those Hu people are, they will not want to violate my borders. Now that I think about it, I still feel heartache from time to time........."

Zhang Yan nodded lightly, and also strongly agreed with Liu Chuang's words.

"After Yan Shuai led his troops to the Hetao, I decided to follow the example of the sages and restart the method of military tun.

If I can open up 300,000 hectares in Shuofang in two days, then I will be able to set foot on the North Sea and create a prosperous era that has not been seen in the 500 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

However, before then, I will try to build ten military towns between Gaoque and the surrendered city to fill the strength of my border fortress. These soldiers and horses should be drawn from the Montenegrin army, and each military town has 800 sharp soldiers, which can ensure that our border fortress will not be harmed by Xianbei in a short time.

Unfortunately, my current strength is still not enough.

The Southern Huns occupy Meiji and have always been my confidants.

If we can solve the problem as soon as possible, the whole of northern Xinjiang should be in my hands...... At that time, I will be able to fight Cao Cao with all my might........."

Southern Huns?

When Zhang Yan heard this, her brows couldn't help frowning.

As if remembering something, he got up and walked to the door, said a few words to the attendants outside, and then returned to the desk.

"Speaking of the Southern Xiongnu, the last general remembered one thing."

"Oh?"

"Please Uncle Huang wait for me to find someone to come over, maybe I can say it more clearly."

A moment later, an obese man appeared outside the house, bowed down and said, "Zhao Yuze Xiaoshuai Hongdu, meet the emperor and Yan Shuai." ”

"Hongdu, come in."

Zhang Yan beckoned and motioned for Na Hongdu to enter the house.

He introduced to Liu Chuang: "Hongdu is my fellow villager and the first person to follow me.

Originally, with his talent, he was enough to be a party commander, but because Nazhao Yuze is located on the bank of Fenshui, connecting Jinyang and Zhongdu, it is also an important pass of our Montenegrin Army in Shangdang. I need him to sit in Zhao Yuze and monitor the high-ranking soldiers, but I can't be too chalky and high-ranking cadres, so I have to appoint him as the little commander. But Uncle Huang shouldn't underestimate this guy, his Zhao Yuze soldiers and horses are also the strongest soldiers and horses under me. ”

After that, he said to Hong Du: "Hong Du, tell me before you and tell Uncle Huang about the Southern Xiongnu again." ”

Zhao Yuze is located in the territory of Shangdang......... Adjacent to Taiyuan.

However, because Zhaoyuze is connected to Fenshui, it is also a foreign trade gateway for the Montenegrin Army. The goods plundered by the Montenegrin army were dealt with in two parts. Some of them were handed over to the wealthy merchants to sell the stolen goods, and the other part was used by the Guò Montenegrin army to trade with the Saibei Hu people. Bingzhou was originally a place where Hu and Han lived together, and the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei, Dingling, and Karasuma people were mixed together. It is naturally impossible for Zhang Yan to hand over the economic lifeline of the Montenegrin Army to those wealthy businessmen, and he also has contacts in secret.

Hong Du said: "Since April, the Southern Xiongnu have been secretly mobilizing troops and horses.

Many Hu businessmen who contacted me also increased the purchase of ordnance! And it doesn't cost a lot. I inquired about some news from a Hu merchant, and it is said that the Southern Xiongnu Dadan Yu secretly colluded with Cao Cao, and seemed to be planning to do something......"

Zhang Yan said: "Uncle Huang was in Yecheng at the time, and after I heard the news, I didn't take it to heart.

But now that I think about it, it seems a little abnormal.

I also know the Hu merchant that Da Hong said, it is said that he is a wealthy businessman in Meiji, who is responsible for doing things for Hu Chuquan...... So this news from him, nine times out of ten, there will be no mistake. Uncle Huang's whole body is in the state, and the dragons in Youzhou have no leader, so it is difficult to guarantee that Huchuquan will have a second heart. ”

In April, wasn't it when Liu Chuang first sent troops?

Liu Chuang suddenly shuddered, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

After a while, he said softly: "Yan Shuai, is there a way to send me to Yanmen County as much as possible?" ”

Zhang Yan thought about it and looked at Hongdu.

"It's not a difficult thing, if Uncle M is wronged, you might as well go to Zhaoyuze with me.

When the time comes, I will pretend to send a batch of goods to the Southern Xiongnu, and the imperial uncle can mix into the pass of Taiyuan County, which is the entrance of it, and I am familiar with it...... Gao Gan took strict precautions against us, but he didn't dare to provoke us too much. So our caravan can be unimpeded in Taiyuan County. ”

Liu Chuang stood up, pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yan again.

"The migration of millions of Montenegrin people is not a trivial matter.

I will ask the Zijia family to stay and cooperate with you, and then I will write a letter to Yanjing to know the situation with my father-in-law, and he will send someone to contact you at that time. ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, she immediately agreed.

As Liu Chuang said, the migration of a million-schalk population is definitely a chalky thing.

This involves all aspects, not only the coordination between Liu Chuang and Zhang Yan, but also the coordination within the Montenegrin Army. Whoever goes first, who goes last; Take that road, how to go; This needs to be negotiated and can never be done overnight.

What Liu Chuang needs is not millions of old, weak, sick and disabled, what he needs is millions of living forces that can fill the land of the Hetao.

Back then, Qin Shi Huang filled 30,000 households into the Hetao, and more than 100,000 made a big move; Today's large-scale migration of a million chalk people will not succeed without proper planning and coordination. Liu Chuang made a rough calculation in his heart that it would take at least half a year for a million chalk people to migrate to the Hetao. When the Montenegrin people arrived at the Hetao, how should they be settled? What to stay? What to eat? What to wear? This has to be planned in advance.

If he migrates now, Liu Chuang thinks he can't bear it.

Not to mention anything else, the food problem of this million chalk people is very troublesome.

It is better to let the Montenegrin people stay where they are, and wait until the beginning of spring, when the ice and snow melt, and then migrate.

By that time, Liu Chuang must have done a good job...... However, before migrating, the Southern Xiongnu must find a way to solve it, otherwise it will be a scourge.

"Yan Shuai, dare to ask the Black Mountain Army in the river meander, do you have soldiers and horses?"

"Meander?"

Zhang Yan was stunned, frowned and pondered for a long time before smiling bitterly: "Hequ is already located in the north of the Saibei, and my Montenegrin army has no soldiers and horses there. ”

"Dashuai!"

Hong Du suddenly opened his mouth and called Zhang Yan.

"How?"

"Actually, we are in the meander, and there are people.

"Huh?"

"Didn't the handsome forget Yu Gengen?"

"Yu Gengen?"

After Zhang Yan heard this name, she couldn't help frowning.

Liu Chuang was surprised: "Who is Yu Zhengen?" ”

"This"—"

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "This Yu Yigen is a Huhan mongrel, and his father is Yu Poison."

This person has a violent temperament, and he is not allowed to be fond of poison, so he turned against poison in his early years, because he was around his beard, so he called himself in the root of the poison, and parted ways with the poison. His subordinates are brave and warlike outlaws, and they only obey the orders of Zanggan. After he and Yu Poison separated, he led his troops to the north, haunting the area of Guluo City, known as a thief, and even the Huns did not dare to provoke. ”

Hong Du continued: "When Yu Gengen left, there were only five or six hundred people in his hands.

Now he commands three thousand horse thieves in Guluo City, and he comes and goes without wind, which can be described as a thief in the north of the Saibei. When he was in the Montenegrin Army, Yan Shuai took care of him a lot, and when he separated from the poison marshal, Yan Shuai also gave him a batch of ordnance. Over the years, he has not forgotten Yan Shuai, and often sends people to send gifts to Yan Shuai...... It's just that this guy is cruel and murderous, and Yan Shuai is quite disgusted with him, so he has no contact.

If it weren't for Uncle Huang mentioning it, I'm afraid Yan Shuai wouldn't have remembered this person. ”

Karma is the ram.

Liu Chuang was not familiar with this Yu Yigen, but when he heard the introduction of Hong Du and Zhang Yan, he couldn't help but light up his eyes.

Cruelty and murder?

What's that?

When the Wuhu was chaotic, the methods of the Zihu people against the Han people were the real cruelty.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a while, he asked softly, "Can Yan Shuai introduce this person to me?" ”

"Is Uncle Huang interested in him?" Zhang Yan said: "This person is a Hu and Han mongrel, very ferocious, and he has the chalkiness of the Hu people in his bones." ”

Liu Chuang smiled, "Hu Ren is not afraid of chalkiness, after all, he has half of the Han blood flowing in his chalky body."

It is extremely Han people, that is, my Han people, how can I ignore it? Cruelty and murder, you can guide ......" just to see who he is cruel and murderous. ”
