Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 145 (3)
"Your Majesty, it seems that the battle report between Hedong and Xihe County is coming?"
After hearing Liu Xie's words, Liu Ye didn't have the joy he guessed, but couldn't help but sigh.
"Half a month ago, Peng Weigu, the former county of Hedong County, suddenly rebelled, and he thought that Du Ji was rampant towards him, and the generals under my command had many arrogant things...
In short, they raised thousands of troops and united Yang Feng and Zhang Leigong in the Black Mountain Army to directly attack Anyi.
I don't know what Zhang Yan's mood would be if he knew that the generals under his command were united with Yuan Shao's people... Hum! ”
From the sneer and gloom on Liu Xie's face, everyone could also see that His Majesty the Emperor was in a rather bad mood now.
However, in the face of such an attitude, Liu Ye did not have any fearful thoughts, and even laughed directly.
"At this point, I'm afraid that he Zhang Yan is also more than capable of strength.
Back then, he Zhang Yan inherited the horns under his command to have today's scale.
Although he Zhang Yan was also a powerful thief back then, in addition to making him grow rapidly, this kind of behavior also made his power very mixed.
Over the years, Zhang Yan has claimed to have led millions of people in this Taihang, 100,000 Tibetan soldiers, and hundreds of generals under his command, but how many can be on the table?
Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Du Chang are just his confidants of Zhang Yan.
The rest of Guo Tai is Bai Bo, Yang Feng is also the black mountain captain of the imperial court, although Yu Poison Bai Huan and others died, it can also be seen from the body of General Zhenggu.
He... seems to have an extremely general relationship with Zhang Yan.
Tao Sheng was originally a small official in the inner yellow, and he was born in the official army, and Zhang Leigong was Zhang Jiao's descendant back then, and Zhang Yan... It's just cooperation!
Other Montenegrin army leaders... Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Yu Yigen, Qing Niujiao, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Si Li, Pengzai, Fuyun, Feiyan, Baique, these people, the big ones are twenty or thirty thousand, and the small ones are six or seven thousand.
It is all over the valleys of Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi, but it is just connected to that Zhang Yan, and together it is the Black Mountain Zhang Yan who led millions of people and hid 100,000 soldiers.
This Lei Gong under his command is not on good terms with my Han, as for Yang Feng... It's just opportunistic.
But the fact that the judge was able to choose the two of them from among the countless Black Mountain thieves as the ones who broke the game really made Ye feel a little surprised. ”
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he still sighed a little, as if he was lamented by the ability to judge and choose the most beneficial situation for himself.
He is worthy of being a famous man in Hebei and one of the commanders under Yuan Shao.
It's just that Liu Ye's feelings, now there are really only wry smiles left here in Liu Xie.
"Ziyang... Now you say that... How about I? ”
"Uh..."Liu Ye, who was too excited, really almost forgot about Liu Xie's here, and after hearing this, he also hurriedly asked for guilt, "Your Majesty, forgive me, although we can't win that trial in this battle."
But this trial can be regarded as helping me wait for once.
The reason why he wanted to invite this black mountain thief out was not only to find a way to get out for himself.
The most important thing is to exchange the Black Mountain Bandit for our energy and time in the future! ”
"Ziyang... Go ahead! Liu Xie looked at Liu Ye in front of him, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally gave up and comprehended himself.
The brains of this group of people... Is that how they got off the hook?
"Your Majesty thinks that if we are all under the state, then what do we want to face the most?"
"Naturally, there are so many alien races!" This time, Liu Xie did not hesitate, "In addition to Shangjun in the northern part of Bingzhou, there are Shuofang, Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong, all of which have fallen into the hands of the Hu people.
They are the land obtained by Emperor Xiaowu's Northern Expedition, and they are the most important place for us to raise horses.
At this time, it is full of Xianbei and Wuhuan, if it can't be recaptured, I'm afraid I will die, and I will be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors if I go to Jiuquan! ”
As soon as Liu Xie's words were finished, he saw Liu Ye shaking his head with a chuckle.
"I... Wrong? ”
"What Your Majesty said is not wrong, but this is not something that can be done overnight after all, recovering the northern part of the state, and expelling and subjugating the Xianbei and other alien races.
Even if I wait for the southern part of the state to be fully annexed, I am afraid that in a short period of time, I can only focus on defense.
There is no doubt about this.
But fortunately, there are still some rules in this world, whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Mengde, in the face of frontier matters, it is easy not to raid and disturb when fighting.
Unless... They have already submitted...
cough cough cough .... In short, although this alien race is our confidant, what is really in front of us is the thieves and robbers in the dense forests of many valleys and forests in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, and Hanoi.
Or rather, those million Black Mountain thieves!
Dare to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty gets the annexation of the state, is he willing to let such a behemoth lie next to him? ”
"This...."Liu Xie's face changed slightly, and then after thinking for a moment, he shook his head directly, "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!" ”
"That's right, this land is not very rich, and there is such a Taihang giant who has formed such a force around him.
If it is like those bandits in the Huainan Jianghuai land, gathering only tens of thousands of people, it is not a big deal, but we will subdue them after coercion and temptation.
You can also strengthen your own body, and then strengthen our strength and people.
But these millions of people mean that they have their own stable lives and have become completely powerful.
Even if we wait for it to surrender and surrender it, it will be a big trend!
If we occupy the land of Hebei, I am afraid it will not be enough to completely digest it, that is, if Cao Mengde completely swallows Yuan Shao's power with a small and broad nature, then there is hope that he will eat this million people into his stomach by relying on the foundation of the world.
Other than that, there is no other way! ”
Liu Ye's words made Liu Xie's face change again, and even his attitude became very silent.
He hadn't taken this black mountain thief Zhang Yan seriously before, and the main reason for this was that he was preconceived.
In history, Zhang Yan was plagiaristic and agile, although he was also called Feiyan in the army as he is now, but it has never been a pure rebellion.
He allied with Gongsun Zhan, fought against Yuan Shao, and even voted for Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu, and was appointed general of Pingbei and named the Marquis of Anguo Ting.
Since then, there has been no sound.
This gave Liu Xie a delusion, that Zhang Yan did not have the determination to dominate the world in the end, and in the end he had to choose one side of the forces to surrender.
And he Liu Xie...
But now, in Liu Ye's words, Liu Xie suddenly woke up.
What is there to surrender yourself, there is no reason to surrender yourself at all!
And even if it's a surrender ... Do you really dare to accept this Zhang Yan's surrender?
With a population of one million and an army of 100,000, all the soldiers and horses under his command Liu Xie may not have this number together.
Historically, he Zhang Yan surrendered to Cao Mengde for two reasons.
First, he offended Yuan Shao too ruthlessly, and when he was young, he Zhang Yan was probably also ambitious, after all, his cheap dead ghost father was unable to crusade against Zhang Yan.
After this guy took the initiative to surrender, he was directly appointed as the general of the peace and hardship, and he was also given many privileges.
To put it simply... Manage the affairs between the various mountains and forests north of the Yellow River, referred to as the Han version of the Wang Xia thief!
And he can recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and he is appointed as an official, and he can also send a planner to Luoyang to report.
Although he has not been dispatched for so many years, the generals under his command still have the official position of a big man, so it is more like a thief under the king.
In this situation, Zhang Yan certainly had no good impression of Yuan Shao, who suddenly appeared in front of him and took away the land of Jizhou from his mouth, and even plotted against the land of Sizhou.
Thus began the struggle between the two sides.
But with the demise of Gongsun Zhan, perhaps Zhang Yan also understood that the gap between the two sides was... It's a little too big.
I want to ask for it and I can't do it with him, and I don't want to do it, and at this time, Cao Mengde's appearance gave him a chance.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Mengde needed Zhang Yan to cheer for him, and after occupying the land of Hebei, Cao Mengde could easily digest Zhang Yan's power.
This completed this surrender and rebellion that shocked the times.
But Liu Xie... If he also occupies the four states of Hebei and the three states of the Central Plains... So what is he bothering about here?
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, isn't that better than Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, and Cao Mengde, the eunuch?
Why be careful here?
Amusing!
After thinking about these things, Liu Xie also sighed directly.
"It seems that the trial is accurate, and I will not give up this point, which is why the black mountain thief is lured out." 、
"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Liu Ye continued to chuckle, "Yan Liang died in battle, which means that the trial himself also knows that the plan to attack before and after has failed, and he can even guess that Taiyuan County will definitely not be able to stay."
In such a situation, the trial and match can't keep the state, so the only thing to do is to delay our pace as much as possible and preserve the forces under his command.
And Zhuge Kongming is also very clear that if he continues to fight with the judge here, although he can be left behind in the end, I will lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
The most important thing is that there is no actual benefit, and it makes Cao Mengde more advantageous.
Use the return of the trial in exchange for the opportunity to fight the Black Mountain Thieves.... Why not! ”
"Hmm.... I seem to have understood... Well... Got it! ”
