Chapter 132: Where did Liu Bei go?
Sure enough, as the Yellow Turban descended said, Fanyang County is also the county seat of Jixian County, where Youzhou Prefecture is located, and there are only four or five thousand Yellow Turban soldiers guarding it!
When Liu Tianhao led an army of 10,000 to gallop all night and rushed to the outside of Jixian County, he directly lit up Deng Mao, who had been untied by Liu Tianhao, and after three or five sentences, this group of thieves obediently opened the city and surrendered! That's right, Deng Mao has basically surrendered without Liu Tianhao's instigation!
Even without Deng Mao, in the face of the absolute balance of power, the Yellow Turban Army is simply vulnerable, and they don't even have the courage to resist!
Of course, the reason why these people surrendered so readily was because they didn't have a leader at all, and the original leader was standing in front of the officers and soldiers under the city; Second, it was 10,000 officers and soldiers who kept shouting outside, 'Disarm and surrender without killing', and Deng Mao also echoed a few words!
Originally, there were still some voices of resistance in the city, but soon, those voices disappeared completely, and all those who tried to incite resistance were solved by most of the people who were trying to survive!
Liu Tianhao led the army to Youzhou to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, and it can almost be said that most of the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou were solved without blood! This made him quite emotional, perhaps, the elite of the yellow turban are all in Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou!
After relieving the siege of Zhuo County and Jixian County, the Youzhou Yellow Turban has basically settled down!
Next, Liu Tianhao led the army to escort the Yellow Turban troops who surrendered in Jixian County and went to Zhuoxian to converge! Jixian County was handed over to Guan Yu to lead 3,000 soldiers to guard! At the same time, Liu Tianhao sent a fast horse to Lunu to transfer Cui Yan to Jixian County to temporarily take charge of political affairs, Guan Yu is not good at political affairs!
After arriving in Zhuo County, Liu Tianhao concentrated the Yellow Turban prisoners in one place, served the food tube every day, and persuaded Deng Mao, who came over, one by one!
Nearly 10,000 yellow turbans were captured, but I didn't expect such a change from a thief to an official, and it would come so suddenly! Originally, they had committed the felony of killing their heads, but now, not only did the officers and soldiers not want to kill them, but they also wanted to admit them into the official army!
can eat and drink enough every day, and with Deng Mao, the former leader, taking the lead, most of the Yellow Turban captives have expressed their willingness to join the official army!
Of course, there are also many die-hard loyalists who insist on following the great sages and good teachers, and Liu Tianhao is not embarrassed by them, they all pull out and cut off their heads, and let them go to explore the way for Zhang Jiao in advance!
Even if these people surrendered to themselves, Liu Tianhao still didn't dare to use them immediately! Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, Liu Tianhao was unwilling to let these people use weapons on the battlefield!
Therefore, more than ten days later, Liu Tianhao asked Guan Yu to lead 5,000 cavalry, escorting more than 10,000 newly joined 'soldiers', and Deng Mao, rushing to the Northwest Dai County! Liu Tianhao is ready to let Gao Shun watch them for a while, and wait until the Jizhou Yellow Turban is pacified to think about other things!
When more than 10,000 yellow turban soldiers in the city were escorted to Dai County, the pressure on Zhuo County suddenly decreased a lot! Every day, Liu Tianhao himself sat in Zhuo County, and sent Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Zou Jing out to sweep away the small Yellow Turban Liukou in the Youzhou territory! When most of Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao were defeated, the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou was already leaderless, either plundering the villages in groups of three or five, or hiding in the mountains, forests and ravines, and some die-hard loyalists fled directly to the south to join the great sages and good teachers of Julu!
Therefore, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Zou Jing went out to pacify the Yellow Turban, which was like a tour! In addition to the yellow scarves with a large number of people, they need to go to the levy; The other small bandits can't deal with those landlords and private soldiers in the countryside!
The landlord's private soldiers will not be merciful to them! Therefore, more than a month later, there was a funny scene in Youzhou, some of the Yellow Turban people who were chased and killed by the private soldiers of the rural landlords, and when they had no way out, they went straight to Zhuo County and Ji County! They knew that both places were garrisoned by officers and soldiers; Officers and soldiers, surrender and don't kill!
Liu Tianhao didn't wait for Cui Yan in Zhuo County, but waited for Cui Yan's brother Cui Lin! It turned out that Cui Yan felt that his talent was still shallow and he still needed to learn, so he would rather continue to stay in Lunu, taking charge of some political affairs in Lunu while continuing to study at Zhongshan Academy! Cui Yan didn't come, but he recommended his brother Cui Lin to come! Cui Lin was also introduced by Cui Yan to study under Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan before!
Liu Tianhao knew that Cui Lin's reputation was even better than Cui Yan's, so he didn't feel angry because Cui Yan couldn't push it! On the contrary, he was very happy! Until now, he didn't know when Cui Lin arrived in Lunu City!
After some careful advice, Cui Lin took Liu Tianhao's ardent expectations and went straight to Ji County, Fanyang County!
When the Youzhou Yellow Turban chaos was contained, Liu Tianhao mobilized his troops again! He sent an envoy to order Ju Yi of Yi County to lead 8,000 soldiers to march to Renqiu County, south of Zhuo County and north of Hejian County, and left Hu Che'er to lead 2,000 soldiers to defend Yi County! If Ju Yi can take Renqiu County, then, north of Jizhou, will be garrisoned by the three-way army arranged by Liu Tianhao, Wuji, Anguo, and Renqiu will be connected into a line, and the north of the three counties will be pacified by Liu Tianhao!
The Yellow Turban turmoil in Youzhou, the harm and plundering of the people, the state and county property, are still within Liu Tianhao's acceptable range, and the indiscriminate killing of middle and lower-level officials alone makes Liu Tianhao miserable! Zhuo County was well guarded by Zou Jing, and the officials of Jixian County in Fanyang County were almost slaughtered by the Yellow Turban rebels! This is also the reason why Liu Tianhao urgently transferred Cui Yan and Cui Lin brothers from Lunu City!
Even so, Liu Tianhao is still in pain!
He has too few civilian officials!
relieved the siege of Zhuoxian County and laid down Jixian County, but it took Liu Tianhao less than ten days! However, it took a lot of effort to appease the people and sort out government affairs! It's okay for him to brag about it, but it's really not this piece of material for him to conscientiously manage government affairs!
After learning from the pain, Liu Tianhao decided to select from the surviving lower-level officials and the famous families in the city who had not yet entered the city! After nearly two months of careful selection, Liu Tianhao finally established the government affairs teams of Zhuo County and Ji County again!
It is indeed allowed Liu Tianhao to dig out a lot of famous talents!
Cui Lie and Cui Wei's cousins in Anping County, Zhuo County, are two great talents!
Cui Yu, whose name is true, was born in a famous family and a family. Since his ancestor Cui Dynasty, in several generations, there have been many people who have held official positions of more than 2,000 stones, such as the county taishou. His grandfather, Cui Chu, was a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was as famous as Ban Gu and Fu Yi at the same time. His father, Cui Ming, a calligrapher, also studied the astronomical calendar and Jingfang Yichuan, and was "particularly friendly" with Fufeng Ma Rong and Nanyang Zhang Heng. He has been the commander of Hanoi Ji County for 7 years and has quite a lot of political achievements; He attaches great importance to agricultural production, and once "opened hundreds of hectares of rice fields for people". Cui Wei was recommended as the Taishou of Liaodong, however, on his way to his post, his mother died of illness, and due to the disaster of the party, he was exempted from his home in Anping County, Zhuo County.
Cui Lie, whose name is Wei Kao, is the younger brother of Cui Yu, and he is also a famous person in Youzhou. Compared with Cui Wei, Cui Lie's reputation is even greater, but his reputation is not obtained by his talent and knowledge at all, but by other means! First, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cui Lie spent five million dollars to buy a big official from Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty - Situ, one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty, and later Cui Lie also became a captain! And another reason why Cui Lie is famous is because he has a good son, Cui Jun Cui Zhouping, who later became one of the 'Four Friends of Zhuge '!
These two people, in the near future, will become the dominant figures of the Han Dynasty, however, now they are honestly cowering at home in Anping County, Zhuo County, leading the family's private soldiers to be lower than the Yellow Turbans!
Liu Tianhao personally came to the door, and when the two of them entered the cabinet, they agreed without spending any words! Even, Cui Lie's sixteen-year-old son Cui Jun was dug up by Liu Tianhao to work! Of course, Cui Lie, Cui Jun and his son are all proud of their mentality! After all, heroes come out of troubled times, and current events make heroes! No one has invited them yet, Liu Tianhao is in the name of the king of Zhongshan, and he also falsely claims to be the general of Pingbei, these two tiger skin banners are still very effective!
In addition to the three father-son cousins of the Cui family, Liu Tianhao also found two of Lu Zhi's students, Liu Deran and Jian Yong from Zhuo County. Since these two people can worship under Lu Zhimen, they naturally have a little bit of goods in their chests, especially Jian Yong, this person followed Liu Bei all the way in his previous life, and finally became General Zhaode of Shu Han, together with Sun Gan, second only to General An Han of Mi Zhu, and much higher than Zhuge Liang's military generals, it can be said that he is awesome and shining!
Jian Yong entered Liu Tianhao's account, but reminded Liu Tianhao of one thing, why didn't Liu Bei see Liu Bei in the entire Zhuo County? Liu Tianhao was very puzzled, although he beat Liu Bei up half a year ago, it would not make Liu Bei disappear!
Driven by curiosity, Liu Tianhao looked around to listen to Liu Bei's news, Zou Jing's reply was that he didn't care much about Liu Bei, and Jian Yong didn't know about it, it stands to reason that Jian Yong has played with Liu Bei since he was a child, no matter what big things Liu Bei does, he can't ignore Jian Yong!
Liu Tianhao did not give up, and at the risk of being scolded, he went to the village where Liu Bei was born to inquire, but the result still disappointed him, Liu Bei disappeared half a year ago! Even his mother and wife didn't know where he had gone, and even the two women said indignantly that it was best to die outside!
Alas, what kind of mother-son, husband-wife relationship is this Nima!
In the end, Liu Tianhao still vaguely heard a trace of news about Liu Bei! According to the group of small ruffians who had sworn with Liu Bei in Zhuoxian County, Liu Bei had left Zhuo County alone and went to Fanyang Ji County since he was beaten by Liu Tianhao that day!
However, Fanyang Jixian is also under Liu Tianhao's control! Liu Bei, a character in it, has no reason not to hide?
Could it be that Liu Bei went to Jixian County to vote for Gongsun Zhan?
Well, Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei are also students of Lu Value, and Liu Bei once defected to Gongsun Chan because of his downfall in history!
However, Gongsun Chan followed Liu Yan to Luoyang, did Liu Bei also go?
Liu Tianhao was completely speechless!
