Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Allies Scatter Zhang Bin and Plot in All Directions
However, one day, Zhang Bin found that the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass began to retreat in large numbers, as soon as he inquired that the Bishui Pass had been taken by Sun Jian and others, he hurriedly led the troops to attack the Tiger Prison, and the first battle was only half a pillar of incense time Pass and raised the white flag to surrender, and he immediately asked Zhang Liao to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to Luoyang with him.
Luoyang was already raging at the moment, and the black smoke and flames in the sky made the whole city scorching, and after Zhang Bin explained that the army was guarding the city gate and began to extinguish the fire, he rushed to the burning palace alone.
"Dry wells, Nima has already looked for dozens of them, why are there so many wells in the palace?"
Zhang Bin galloped back and forth in the palace at a very fast speed, and after half an hour, he heard him scolding and rushing to the back garden, he looked at a wellhead in the middle of the well, and rushed into the bottom of the well with a shake, and the corpse of a palace lady lay horizontally at the bottom of the dry well.
Zhang Bin happily pulled out a cloth bag from Gong'e's neckline, which was wrapped with a gold-inlaid jade seal in one corner, and the eight characters of Yongchang were engraved on it.
After hearing for a long time that there was an emperor's breath in this jade seal, Zhang Bin inhaled for a while but only absorbed a trace of jade energy, and he was about to leave, when he saw a copper ring in a gap in the wall of the well.
He pulled his hand carefully, and he heard the rattling sound of the real mechanism coming from the cave wall, and the stone wall slowly moved away to reveal a large hole, Zhang Bin pulled out his sword and carefully walked into the cave, and he opened his eyes after pushing open a stone door.
Inside the cave is a huge stone room, the stone room is full of countless huge wooden boxes, open them one by one, and look at the piles of gold cakes, silver cakes and jewels and copper coins in these wooden boxes, Zhang Bin suddenly understood that this is the treasure of the Ling Emperor Liu Hong and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he quickly put away these wooden boxes, and muttered in his mouth:
"I spent more than 20 million yuan, and now there are at least tens of billions of dollars and countless gold, silver and jewelry, and the interest is enough."
After packing up all the treasures, Zhang Bin quickly retreated to the wellhead and closed the secret room, he turned the jade seal in his hand that did not have the spirit of an emperor, and after thinking for a while, he put the jade seal back into the cloth bag, but he deliberately exposed the gold-inlaid corner of the jade seal. In this way, as long as there is a torch on it, it will shine at a glance.
He wanted to get the jade seal at first, so he ran over, but he didn't expect the jade seal to be a piece of stone, at most, there was some energy storage in it, fortunately he got the treasure of the Han family, Zhang Bin estimated that the money was enough for him to feed people from several continents.
Back at the gate of the city, Sun Jian also brought people to extinguish the fire, watching Sun Jian lead people to the direction of the palace, Zhang Bin shook his head, this guy will not die.
The fire in Luoyang was extinguished for a whole day before it ended, Sun Jian because he had Yuan Shao's spies, and his discovery of the jade seal was revealed, he swore that there was no such thing, and after falling out with Yuan Shao, he collected his army and went to Changsha;
Yuan Shao hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, asking Liu Biao to snatch back the jade seal, which also caused the feud between the Liu family and the Sun family to take over after Liu Biao killed Sun Jian.
When the army was all outside Luoyang City, Cao Cao was about to shout and pursue, but Yuan Shao temporarily stopped the pursuit on the grounds that the army was tired from fighting for a long time and that Dong Zhuo's army had millions of people as shields.
Cao Cao led his army in pursuit alone, and was almost killed in an ambush by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong on the way, and when he returned from defeat, the allied forces were scattered.
The major princes had their own losses in this war, but Zhang Bin only had 15,000 troops when he sent troops, but there were more than 20,000 when he returned to the army, and there were 20,000 more war horses.
The army retreated, and as soon as he entered the territory, Zhang Bin ordered Guo Jia and Yan Liang to lead the army into the annexed state, but he and Xi Zhicai began to expand the army in the territory for the first time.
"The five counties of Yanmen, Zhongshan, Xinxing, Leping and Changshan, after land reform in recent years, have seen a large increase in population, with the original population of only 4 million, and now it has a population of up to 8 million;
In addition to the more than 300,000 infants and young children who are encouraged to have more children, there are as many as 4 million displaced people from Jizhou and other places, because there is a sound management system, and there are not many poor people in the counties.
In this recruitment, we will proceed according to the recruitment conditions of 80 to 1, and we will be able to increase the army by 100,000 in about a month. ”
In the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Xi Zhicai, who had just completed the territorial investigation, was reporting, Zhang Bin nodded and said:
"The conscription work will be completed as soon as possible, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and Liao Hua will all be placed in the new army, and Ma Yuanyi has been in the military academy for two or three years, let him come out and lead the first army to Yanmen to garrison."
"How is the Zhang He who came to the academy a few days ago settled? This young man is extraordinary in martial arts and quite strategic. Xi Zhicai asked.
If there is a territory, there are talents to take refuge, the territory of the general of Zhenbei is rich and the people are stable, Zhang He is the first person to take refuge here, although he is not the cannon fodder who asked for help at the beginning, Zhang Bin still decided to reuse this kind of person, he nodded and said:
"Let him receive a new education for short-term training, and transfer to the Wenchou Army as a lieutenant in a month, what happened to Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong who I asked about?"
Since the occupation of Changshan County, Zhang Bin has asked people to investigate Zhao Yun's news, it doesn't matter if other people are talented, he doesn't want to give Zhao Zilong in his territory to Liu Da'er.
Xi Zhong smiled:
"Zhao Yun is still cultivating and hasn't gone home, but his eldest brother Zhao Feng has good knowledge and knowledge, I have already recruited him as Wen Cao of Changshan County, and told him that if Zhao Yun goes home, he will report it quickly."
"Well, Zhicai will explore more talents from the people, as long as they can be used by us, then we will reuse them, Yuan Shao went to Bohai, what is Han Fu doing?" Zhang Bin nodded and said.
"Yuan Shao has an army of 30,000, but unfortunately there is no general in his hands, and he doesn't dare to make any moves as far as Lu Yi, Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran are concerned.
As for Han Fu, he was relieved to be his state pastor in Jizhou when he came back from Luoyang, and he didn't take the danger of Yuan Shao to heart at all, probably thinking that the other party was not capable of annexing him. Xi Zhicai smiled.
Zhang Bin thought for a while, he had just sent troops out of the annexation state, although he still had the ability to immediately send troops to other places, for the sake of safety, he did not want to immediately annex other territories.
Guo Jia's resourcefulness, Yan Liang's bravery, 30,000 elite troops just entered the state and went straight into the city, Zhang Yang in the party, heard that Zhang Bin was going to annex the state, hurriedly sent his army to the state to intercept, met Yan Liang's army halfway, the general Yang Chou was killed in only two rounds, and more than 13,000 troops were captured by Yan Liang.
Zhang Yang still had thousands of troops under his command, but under Guo Jia's strategy, he was trapped in Shangdang City in just a few days and had to surrender.
After taking the Shangdang Guo Jia, Yan Liang went straight to Hanoi, and there was no general under Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and when he saw the arrival of the army, he hurriedly handed over the 10,000 troops in his hand to surrender to Cheng.
