Chapter 50: North Xianbei
As soon as Sun Ming returned to Zhuoxian, he saw several battle reports from Daijun.
Guan Yu of Quang Ninh wrote in his letter that Zhao Hong, Pei Zhong and other remnants of the Yellow Turbans who had retreated into the mountains often raided and plundered small cities near Quang Ninh.
Guan Yu led a thousand people to ambush on the way, waiting for work, and caught the remnants of the Yellow Turban by surprise, and the head of Pei Zhong's thieves died on the spot and captured more than 1,000 people.
Sang Qian's Yu Li also sent a letter a few days ago to report that Takayanagi Taishou Wang Ze had been transferred.
The Northern Xianbei tribe to the west of Dai County is now about to move, and it seems that there will be some action next, if Sun Ming comes back, please rush back to Dai County as soon as possible.
Gongsun Ping, a carpenter in the rear, also came to report that he had made every effort to improve the baggage transport vehicles according to Sun Ming's wishes.
The wheeled cart was changed from a three-wheeled cart with a specially processed cowhide layer to the surface of the wooden tires.
The transportation speed is greatly improved, and it is also more labor-saving, and the cowhide can continue to be replaced after it is worn.
Sun Ming was quite satisfied with this kind of car, and after rewarding Gongsun Ping with five catties of gold, let him continue to build it and popularize it throughout the army.
The military situation on the front line was urgent, and Sun Ming and others, who had just returned to Zhuo County, did not stay for too long, and three days later drove to Dai County with more than 4,000 people who had recuperated.
Sun Ming's first stop went straight to Sangqian, and Yu Li, who received the message, was already waiting for Sun Ming at the city gate, and his face was full of joy and said, "Congratulations to the general for 'returning victorious'." ”
"Haha, Luoyang and his party are indeed a big victory! Now the entire Daijun is surnamed 'Sun', and this will be the foundation of our struggle for hegemony. ”
"And the military advisor you have also been promoted to the Taishou Changshi, I also have to congratulate you, haha."
The army was stationed outside the city, and Sun Ming took more than 100 people, and the two complimented each other and entered the city.
When the people in the city saw that it was General Sun Ming's arrival, they went out to the streets to cheer, to see Sun Ming's honorable face, and even stuffed food for Sun Ming's personal army.
This is the performance of winning people's hearts, seeing this scene, Sun Ming was moved and sighed, "The husband is loved like this, and there is nothing to ask for in this life!" ”
After taking over Sangqiancheng, he relaxed policies, lowered taxes, and allowed the people to recuperate, and the people also liked the new ruler very much.
In less than three months, there was order in Sangqian City, and the faces of the people were full of joy, and there was no longer the original look of horror.
Sun Ming entered the county office, and after learning about the situation in Sangqiancheng, he also told his experience in Luoyang.
"I originally wanted to recruit a few talents to come back from Luoyang, but the Shi clan hated me too much, and the talented officials and eunuchs all respected me."
Sun Ming shook his head with a wry smile, he didn't recruit anyone on this trip to Luoyang.
"General, when it comes to talents, there is a recommendation from one person, Liu Bei, the commander of a thousand soldiers, who thinks it is enough to serve as the order of a city."
Liu Bei's talent Sun Ming also witnessed it, but Sun Ming kept suppressing him and not promoting him.
"Military advisor, I don't have a good impression of that Liu Bei, I always feel that he is unwilling to submit to others, and one day he will break away from us."
When Yu Li heard that Sun Ming was actually not confident, he chuckled and said, "General, you once said, 'Don't be suspicious when you use people, don't use suspicious people'." ”
"Then Liu Bei fought bravely and performed well in our army, why did the general take care of one or the other?"
Sun Ming waved his hand and decided not to discuss the topic for now.
"Strategist, you still call me the owner, the general feels strange."
"In your letter, you said that the Northern Xianbei tribe wanted to invade my Dai County? What's going on now. ”
Speaking of business, Yu Li became serious, walked to the map and began to explain to Sun Ming.
"Xianbei was divided into North and South Xianbei a long time ago, the South Xianbei is wide, and the North Xianbei is much weaker, and it is attached to my Han all the year round."
"The Northern Xianbei people who live in the grassland have a very loose system and live by grazing."
"But in recent years, a leader named Kobineng has formed a tribal alliance of scattered tribes,"
"In the past few years, it has developed rapidly, and I am ready to make trouble on behalf of the county, and I have repeatedly sought trouble at the border."
"Because the Xianbei people are fierce in combat and good at riding and shooting, our defenders are all passive defense."
"I think we should break up the Northern Xianbei people before they form a united front and stabilize our rear."
After listening to the analysis, Sun Ming thought for a long time, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, I agree with what you said, fight Beixianbei first." ”
Yu Li wanted to speak and stopped, "But that mediocre Gongsun Chan is eyeing Guangning again, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, Strategist." Sun Ming sneered disdainfully.
"Now there is no war in the whole world, he Gongsun Chan can't find a reason, and rashly attacked, I will report to the court to accuse him of plotting treason, don't forget that our backer is a eunuch who can directly control the affairs of the world."
"It's better to say that I'm still looking forward to his Gongsun Zhan's hot head."
Sun Ming knew in his heart that before Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was gone, the world was still in chaos, and he was completely sure of everything.
After the discussion was decided, 4,000 people from Sangqian were gathered, and a total of 8,000 people were set for Gaoliu.
The first thing he did when he arrived in Takayanagi was to summon all the prefectural commanders and prefectural governors in the prefecture to a meeting in Takayanagi and ask the officials to arrive within five days.
There are eleven county towns in Dai County, and Sun Ming has to get to know the officials and convey his various strategies.
The second thing is to let the armies belonging to Sun Ming from all over the country gather together in Gaoliu.
Within a few days, the county orders and county lieutenants from all over the country arrived at 7788, and Qiu Muli and Meng Da of that Taoist also arrived.
Only Li Quan, the county commander of Nadangcheng, and Zhou Mi, the county lieutenant, arrived late and arrived in Gaoliu on the sixth day.
In the Taishou Mansion, Sun Ming held a meeting, and except for the two people in the city, everyone else arrived.
Sun Ming just said two words at first, and Li Quan and Zhou Mi were like stepping on it.
"I'm really sorry, Sun Taishou, the journey is not good, my subordinates are a day late, please don't blame Taishou."
When the city and county ordered Li Quan to apologize to Sun Ming in a coy manner, he deliberately embarrassed Sun Ming.
Li Quan was friendly with the Gongsun Zan family in Shanggu, and he was instigated by the Gongsun family and had no intention of obeying Sun Ming at all.
"It's okay, just deal with it according to the delay of the fighter, Qiu County Order, what crime should the two of them be sentenced to?"
That Qiu Muli stood up and replied: "If you miss the fighter, you should be sentenced to a decisive decision." ”
Li Quan and Zhou Mi panicked when they heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "You dare!" It's not wartime now, I'm a county order canonized by the imperial court, and I beheaded the county order without a valid reason, do you want to commit treason? ”
Sun Ming sneered and looked at Li Quan with disdain.
"The Northern Xianbei tribe has been attacking this county for a long time, and Ben Taishou is looking for you to negotiate countermeasures, every moment you delay, innocent people and soldiers are poisoned by the Xianbei tribe, you two deserve to die."
"Come on, pull them out and execute them."
"Here, I hope you don't challenge my bottom line with your own lives like those two fools."
Sun Ming came to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, and the officials who had his thoughts were so frightened when they saw Sun Ming so resolute, and they all lowered their heads.
Only a few people had already obeyed Sun Ming's officials and held their heads high.
Xu Mu of that generation county was even more angry: "The envoy led us to defend the county from foreign invasion, but there are a few dissidents who disregard the life and death of the people, have evil thoughts in their hearts, and hinder the great cause. ”
"It's really innocent, colleagues must not kill themselves in the court, and they must not kill themselves in the court."
Sun Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "This officer only has one military order: you must strictly obey my orders, otherwise military law will be involved." ”
After that, Sun Ming continued to discuss decision-making and other matters, and the meeting did not end until noon that day.
