Chapter 305: Fierce Soldiers
The situation in Chang'an did not exceed everyone's expectations, and Dong Zhuo was less than a month old, and soon wore the news that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others joined forces to counterattack Chang'an. And Lu Bu, who was canonized as the Marquis of Wen by the imperial court, led his troops to confront the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City. As a result, the Xiliang soldiers led by Hu Zhen launched a rebellion in the city, and Lü Bu was defeated after only holding out for eight days. Lu Bu then led more than 100 cavalry and took Dong Zhuo's head out of Wuguan. During this period, Lü Bu once fought Guo Bi in the north of the city to decide the winner alone, Lü Bu stabbed Guo Bi with a spear, Guo Bi was rescued by the left and right armies, and the two sides then dismissed their own troops.
Wei Xuan learned that Lu Bu broke through from the martial arts pass, and knew that the changes in Chang'an would be known to the antenna people, and Lu Bu, a tiger, would also cause trouble in the Kanto region.
There is no doubt that Lu Bu must have defected to Yuan Shu this time, so Wei Xuan immediately wrote a letter to remind Sun Jian of Yuzhou to be careful of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu Tu Jingzhou has been unable to help Liu Biao for two years, and now Yuan Shu has Lu Bu If he can be a monarch and a minister, he will definitely be able to make Liu Biao look good, of course, if he can't take it, it is very likely that he will transfer the target, and Runan is the most likely target of Yuan Shu.
The most surprising thing for Wei Xuan and others was Li Dao、???????????????? After Guo Yan and others took control of the Chang'an court, they even sent several envoys to the east to try to pacify the Kwantung heroes. Of course, Wei Xuan would not let him go easily, and the envoy sent by Li Wei to see Wei Xuan did not see Wei Xuan in Henan and went to Taiyuan under the leadership of Wei Xuan's soldiers.
Compared with Dong Zhuo, Li Dao's posture is naturally much lower, and he worships Wei Xuan as General Zuo to reward Wei Xuan for his contribution to recovering the state. The Great Han Wen respects the right, the Wu takes the left first, and the left general is ranked in Jiuqing, the head of the four generals on the left and right, and above it is the general Wei, the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of the hussars and the general. If there is no comparison between Li Dao and others, the Han Dynasty will worship him as General Zuo because Wei Xuan led the troops to recover and merge the state, which is actually enough to reward his merits.
Li Wei sent another private message to Wei Xuan, hoping that the two sides would form an alliance. Li Dao had a good personal relationship with Wei Xuan before, and he had never fought with Wei Xuan head-on, so it is not surprising that Li Dao had this idea, after all, the Xiliang Legion is now headed by Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, followed by Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji. But the gap between Li Dao and Guo Yan and Fan Chou is not big, so Li Dao wants to pull a foreign aid, and now among the Kanto heroes, Li Dao is the only one who has the strength and can speak to Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan deserved to worship him as General Zuo in the imperial court, but he was absolutely unwilling to form an alliance with Li Dao. Without him, Li Dao and others are thieves! The point is that their political life will not last long. Slightly drunk, I didn't even accept the kindness released by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, let alone a Li Dao.
Of course, when the envoy arrived, Wei Xuan naturally took the opportunity to warn Li Dao, especially when he proposed that his father-in-law Cai Yong had offended Wang Yun because of Dong Zhuo's death and was imprisoned, and now he should be released. The envoy also knew this, so he nodded and promised to tell the generals about it.
Li Dao did not embarrass Cai Yong, and soon Cai Yong was released, and then went north from Chang'an to Anyi with the help of Jinyiwei.
Although Wei Xuan did not agree to Li Dao's request for an alliance, he was not worried that Li Dao would attack Henan. On the contrary, now it is necessary to be wary of Yuan Shu, in order to cope with the new situation, Henan and Yingchuan are likely to become the focus of the war in the future, so Wei Xuan gritted his teeth and announced a new plan for the reorganization of the team.
First of all, it is natural that Zhang got the tiger and leopard cavalry, which increased from 5,000 to 10,000 people, mainly to accommodate Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, the two tiger generals, and the three thousand heavy cavalry of the two people's headquarters are still subordinate to Zhang Liao. These 10,000 people will be the main force that will decide the outcome after Wei Xuan and anyone else start a war.
Zhao Yunbu has 4,000 light cavalry, 2,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 heavy infantry and divine arm bows, of which Dian Wei and Xu Chu are lieutenants, each leading heavy infantry and divine arm archers. This team mainly follows Wei Xuan.
Tai Shici's special combat battalion increased to 10,000 people, of which 2,000 heavy cavalry were added to guard the two wings, and the Modao and Shenjian Bow were each increased by 1,000, temporarily replacing Wei Yun to guard Taigu, and Wei Yun was moved to Tunhu Prison. There is Tai Shici in the west of Taigu who can pick up Wei Yan, and in the east he can rush to the aid of Xu Rong.
The Wei Zheng department increased to 10,000 people, and Qin Yue and Xu came to that person was re-promoted to captain, adding 2,000 light cavalry, 1,000 divine arm bows and 1,000 heavy infantry, and would act as a separate combat unit in the future. But most of the time was mainly used to prevent the infiltration of the Montenegrin Army and Yuan Shao of Jizhou and the southward movement of the Xianbei people.
???????????????? Wei Yan's department also increased to 10,000 people, Wen Ping and Li Yan as captains, and increased 2,000 light cavalry, 1,000 heavy infantry, and 1,000 Shenjian bows. In the future, it will also be the main force of westward expansion into Chang'an.
Xu Rong's department also had 10,000 people, Huo Jun and Yang Ling were captains, including 2,000 light cavalry, 1,000 divine arm bows, 1,000 heavy infantry, and the rest were a mixture of sword and shield soldiers, pikemen and longbow soldiers. Mainly to prevent Yuan Shujun from Nanyang and provide support to Sun Jian in Yuzhou.
Du Peng's Flying Tiger Army increased to 10,000 people, with Han Meng and Xin Ai as captains, all of whom were light cavalry with one man and two horses. The main opponents of the Flying Tiger Army in the next few years are the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, which will require a wide range of movements, galloping aid, etc.
Weitong's cavalry battalion increased to 6,000 people, with Su Lie and Liu Ming as captains, Ran Min as Sima, and 3,000 light cavalry and heavy cavalry. In the future, it may increase to 10,000 people, and it will be used as the main force to attack Chang'an and Liangzhou after the state is stabilized.
Xu Huang and Zhang Yang each increased their light cavalry by 2,000 to 8,000 because they would face the Xiongnu and Xianbei for a long time. In the future, one of them will be stationed in the annex for a long time, and the other will be deployed to other battlefields as the main offensive force.
The combined forces of Huang Zhong's troops and Tao troops increased to 10,000 people, with 1,000 light cavalry and 1,000 divine arm bows respectively, mainly to deal with the threat from Jizhou and the southward infiltration of the Montenegrin army. Because of the Weishan area where Yang Feng's troops were stationed, all 6,000 were infantry, of which 3,000 were tunhuguan, blocking the road for the Jizhou soldiers and the Montenegrin army to advance westward.
In this way, with Wang Qiang's scout battalion, Zhou Cang and Cai Meng's two troops in Luoyang, not counting the soldiers of each county, the total number of soldiers will reach 100,000. Wei Xuan's current jurisdiction of the state plus Sanhe and Yingchuan has a population of 45.6 million, which is far inferior to Yuan Shao's Yanzhou, which is divided between Jizhou and everyone, and is only twice as large as the Nanyang County occupied by Yuan Shu. Due to the large number of tuntian, the existence of commerce, and the vast and sparsely populated land suitable for grazing, the grain and grass are barely supported.
The war horses are abundant, and the source of soldiers is not bad, but if you want to complete the equipment, heavy cavalry and divine arm bow, it will take at least two years to make it. Therefore, Xun You and others are correct in proposing not to take the initiative to send troops within two years.
In order to better govern the place, although Wei Xuan did not return to Henan immediately, he set up six departments in General Zuo's mansion, namely the officials, households, soldiers, criminals, workers, and rites. With Zhang Zhao and the secretary of the ministry, Xun Yu and the secretary of the ministry, and Xizhong and the secretary of the military department, I thought that the full favor and the criminal department were the waiters, with Ma Jun and the Ministry of Works, and Sun Qian as the waiters of the Ministry of Rites. If there is a Shangshu in each ministry, it is generally the Shangshu who is responsible for uploading and disseminating it, leading the squire to implement the resolutions of the General's Palace. And for the time being, Mei Oh and Shangshu have a joint resolution between Lang Lang and Lang Zhongren. In addition, Wei Xuan still made a promise to the people of Bingzhou, and constantly selected young scholars from Luoyang Academy to serve as local officials. Today's Luoyang Academy is in its second year, and there are more than 600 students studying mathematics.
The good news is that after Lu Bu arrived at Yuan Shu, Lu Bu felt that he had made a great contribution to the imperial court by killing Yu Gong, and Yu privately killed the enemies of the Yuan family, and he took it for granted that Yuan Shu would treat him like a guest. Although Yuan Shu wanted to???????????????? But he didn't like Lu Bu's arrogance and general army to attack the place, and he only occupied one county in Nanyang, so Yuan Shu asked Lu Bu to guard Jiangxia and gave him 5,000 men and horses to divide his troops to fight Jiangxia. Lu Bu was eager to gain a firm foothold, and his subordinates Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others were also brothers who were very brave. After arriving at the turf, it was really a succession of battles. As a result, the originally peaceful Jiangxia, Runan and other places of handover were full of wolves. And here is entrenched in this local tyrant called Li Tong. He occupied the county seat, and had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, guarding 40,000 or 50,000 people in the county. Because the east is the Dabie Mountains, Sun Jian and Jiang Xia didn't want to care. Although Lu Bu did not directly attack the county seat where Li Tong was entrenched, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu increased his troops to the north, and Sun Jian increased his troops to the south, and Li Tong's living space was suddenly gone. Sun Jian, Huang Zu and others had also lobbied Li Tong before, and now that Lu Bu came and sent people to persuade him, Li Tong thought about it and sent someone to contact Wei Qi in Yingchuan, expressing his willingness to lead his soldiers and people to join Wei Xuan, but hoped that Wei Xuan would send troops to meet and ensure that the people were properly settled.
Now that everyone in the Weixuan Group knows that their lord is recruiting refugees everywhere, so many people come to vote at once, and they must not miss it. Wei Qi and Xu Rongyi discussed and decided to report to Wei Xuan while Pegasus, and at the same time ask Tai Shici next door to help, send 4,000 cavalry south, and at the same time ask Sun Jian to answer. Because Lu Bubu was not trusted by Yuan Shu, most of his subordinates were infantry, so they did not dare to start a war with Wei Xuan's cavalry. After a month, all the 40,000 or 50,000 people of Li Tong were relocated to Henan. Li Tong's soldiers and horses were incorporated into Xu Rong's department. Wei Xuan gave him two choices, go to Liang State to replace Guan Yu as a lieutenant, or to garrison Funiu Mountain alone, Li Tong finally chose to go to Funiu Mountain, where there are cottages in the county town and more than 20,000 acres of fertile land.
Then Jia Xu personally went out to lobby the Shangdang and the Black Mountain Army tribe near Wei County, and finally Bai Rao decided to lead everyone in the cottage to Xihe Tuntian, and 50,000 people were divided into six counties, and Bai Rao also became the captain of Xihe. Seeing that Bai Rao, Tao Sheng and others had tens of thousands of people in a cottage, Wei Xuan couldn't wait to do Zhang Yan immediately, and then Zhao'an all the more than 20 leaders of the Black Mountain Army, which was a million-dollar Tuntian!
