Volume 1 Chapter 408 Defection (II)
In the early morning of the next day, the army set out from camp, with a stream of chariots and horses, and a clear banner.
"My lord, Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, asks to see you. ”
Ye Qing looked back at this dusty young scholar and laughed.
A few nights ago, I was talking about it intentionally, but at this time, Guo was hooked out by myself, thinking like this, I raised my hand to greet: "I heard the magpie cry this morning, and if you are happy, Yuanlong, you have worked hard all the way to come, what job do you want?"
"It's not for officials. Chen Deng denied it.
Although it was a joke, seeing Chen Deng's solemn expression, Ye Qing was a little surprised, restrained his smile, and asked solemnly: "What do you mean by daring to ask you?"
Chen Dengzheng bowed down, unabashedly, and said loudly: "Xuande Gong can help the Han family, Weijia all over the world, the minister came this time, he is from the dragon to make meritorious service, in order to go down in history"
Hearing this, everyone looked sideways for a while, and it was the first time that someone said this in public.
When Ye Qing heard this, he just laughed, and continued to move forward without saying anything, and said with his chin bowed, "Keep up." ”
"It's the lord" Chen Deng was overjoyed and integrated into the team.
Ye Qing traveled very fast, all the way to the west, at this time has passed the junction of Xuzhou to Yanyu and Henan, the junction line of Yanyu and Henan is northeast to southwest, since Ye Qing Kaichun recaptured eastern Henan, the junction between Yanzhou Jiyin County and Yuzhou Pei County is a bit of a two-handed meaning, and it has become a place for Cao Jun to plunder.
However, Liu Jun went west along the handover line, and did not commit any crimes along the way, even if he occasionally crossed Yanzhou along the way, and regarded the "enemy territory" as Han people.
In some border towns and villages of Jiyin County, there are no officials, but many people spontaneously gathered and brought cattle, horses, grain and wine under the leadership of the three elders in the countryside to "welcome the king".
That's not all, along the way, there are several horses, or dozens of horses, or hundreds of horses, constantly joining, but many do not have Chen Deng's identity, but Ye Qing instructed that if there is such a thing, he will meet him in person.
Only half a day after joining the team, there were more than a dozen, seeing a number of dozens of horses to come and run, stepped forward to ask, these people all replied: "Xuande Gongneng Sanxing Han Room, is the world Guangwu, we are all defecting"
It's even more naked than Chen Deng, but these people are okay because of their low status.
And the lord personally received them one by one, and took these people by the arm, gave them water and wine, and said: "With strong men joining, the Han family is hopeful."
After just a few minutes of reception and comfort, these people were grateful, bowed and said, "The lord is so gracious, dare not die?"
Seeing this, Chen Deng's eyes became more respectful and pleased.
This is my Chen Yuanlong's father-in-law......
"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The monarch regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the monarch as an enemy......" Chen Deng sighed when he saw it: "Mencius's words, sincerity is also true, Xuande Gong's trip is magnificent"
The minister evolved from the male slave in the slave era, and in the Spring and Autumn Period it referred to both officials and the common people, and the continuation of Mencius's style here is to say that the treatment between the king and the common people is relativistic.
But when Chen Deng said this, he insinuated that Cao Cao regarded the people as dirt and mustard in Xuzhou, and the people regarded Cao Cao as a thief and enemy, and praised his own lord for treating the people as his own hands and feet, and the people regarded the lord as a confidant to protect.
This is the principle of domination, Ye Qing smiled when he heard it.
Sometimes when encountering villages and towns, it is common for Ye Qing to ask the local elders to gossip about the harvest and ask about the difficulties.
The villager is the core of the grassroots, and he doesn't know much, so he sighs at natural and man-made disasters, and only says: "Xuande Gong is a Ming monarch, since Wang Shi entered eastern Henan, there have been fewer robberies and robbers......
Ye Qing was very happy when he heard this, at this time, the people's morale had not yet been enslaved, just looking at the dare to hold the hand of a big official like himself and speak.
And Liukou, heh, Cao Cao is famous for being good at raising thieves......
Chen Deng first arrived, and at this time followed Guo Jia around, while discussing the experience of raw fish and wine with this "senior in wine", he observed the performance of the sergeant, and secretly said that he was surprised - the army buys vegetables and meat in the local area instead of collecting it, and gives it at the market price, how rich does it have to be to come out?
The more he is through the military and politics, the more he knows the difficulty, the real king is based on strong economic, political, and military strength, so that there is no need to loot places, these three have no shortcomings, and they are unique among the current princes, so that Chen Deng once again firmly believes that his choice is correct.
Along the way, as the news came out, more and more scholars asked to join the army, often carrying dozens or hundreds of private armies, and there were more and more people who had hopes for themselves, Liu Bei and the Han family, which was in stark contrast to the princes with different surnames such as Cao, Yuan, and Gongsun during this period in history.
"The text responds to the ...... of the public"
"The Queen Mother came to the southern capital of Wancheng, and Jingbei set ......"
"The meteor has entered the camp, the destiny has been revealed, if you don't join it, won't you even be able to drink the soup?"
"Tsk, Cao Cao's 300,000 troops were defeated by Liu Yuanjun...... many scholars whispered, and they couldn't escape the eavesdropping of the girl's real person.
And husband and wife are one, Qianqian naturally revealed to her husband.
That's good news...... Ye Qing thought with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
A bit of a stock market maker sees retail investors entering the market happily and is in a happy mood, this is not ironic, Ye Qing knows very well that there has never been support for no reason, what is wrong with being regarded as a high-performance stock?
The more you gather along the way, the more your luck will be fulfilled, and the easier it will be to achieve the goal of saving Luoyang.
These sporadic troops joined, don't look at the number of troops, but judging from the situation these days, I am afraid that if they arrive in the tiger prison, they will increase by 50,000 troops out of thin air
What's even more terrifying is that although these armies have not yet been organized and are not considered strong, they are supported by a family in each of them - this amount of power is very terrifying.
"The order goes down, the speed of the army is slow, and time is set aside to pacify these troops, give official positions, give food and grass, and before arriving at the tiger prison, it must be basically established."
"The military spy pays close attention to the trend, and if there are suspicious people, they will be decisively executed, don't be afraid to kill the wrong people, they have come from all over the world, they have never had contact and feelings, and there will be no evil consequences, and if they are connected with thieves, they will be thrown into a rat trap. ”
"To increase the bounty for espionage in various places, I want to clearly grasp the list of the princes who responded to the Dong Raid, the background information, as well as the route time of Shangluo, and the approximate ...... of troops."
One order after another has been issued, and there are many targets worth paying attention to in the upcoming battle of Luoyang.
All roads lead to Luoyang, starting from the capital, with a smooth and dense transportation network that is characteristic of all classical empires.
The closer to the west is to the Tiger Pass, the more encounters with the allied army, and the history of Cao Cao forged a document and only eighteen families to ask for Dong is different, because this time the Dong Alliance has the Empress Dowager's righteous name, Liu Zhijun's strength as an endorsement, the world responded to the public.
But I haven't met a big fish like Yuan Shao for a while...... Oh, the Great Princes.
Most of the small princes were only 10,000, 20,000, or even thousands of troops, and they were all a little nervous when they saw these hundreds of thousands of troops coming over on the official road, and they were not relieved until they saw Liu Ziqi.
The atmosphere in Liu's army was relatively calm, the 300,000 Cao army had been defeated, and the lord had the destiny of meteors to enter the camp, what else could not be captured by Xiongguan Jiancheng?
Ye Qing had a humble attitude, met with all the small princes, and sponsored some armor, equipment, grain and grass - once again expressed his gratitude to the governor for his selfless contributions.
But in his heart, Ye Qing didn't think that the battle in Luoyang would be easy, because Diao Chan returned in Luoyang, and Taiping Dao's involvement in Dong Zhuojun became closer and closer, which meant that the advantages of humanitarianism on the ground would be largely offset.
In particular, Dong Zhuojun also participated in the battle at the real level, and this battle ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a tough fight.
This is the first round of direct confrontation between the Heavenly Court Sealing Earth System and the Yin Side of the Lower Earth Heavenly Dao, Ye Qing thinks that it is better to consciously establish a united front, rather than trying to deal with the entire Yin Side of the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Earth alone, that is not brave, but mediocre.
Ye Qing has a clear purpose for forming a good alliance prince, and it is difficult for hundreds of thousands of coalition troops to gather for a long time, and it cannot be held for a long time, Ye Qing does not want to seeg his own Yuzhou for a long time, and only hopes to try his best to maintain the strength of the alliance before capturing the tiger prison, so as to make it possible to quickly enter Shangluo.
Or some people on the ground think that it doesn't matter if Luoyang is a city and burns it, but Ye Qing doesn't think so with the experience of a traverser.
Ye Qing's background made him familiar with some mysteries of this land, and he knew that the strategic situation in China changed with the times, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the sparse population in the south of the Yangtze River, it was all carried out in the Central Plains along the east-west strategy of the Yellow River, and Luoyang was just in the middle point.
From Ye Qing's current perspective, the history of China is very interesting, revealing many important nodes related to Luoyang.
In the ancient legend, there is a dragon horse carrying the river map out of the Yellow River in Luoyang, Fu Xi used this to play the innate gossip, and with his sister Nuwa together to breed two tribes, one lives in the west of Heluo Taihao clan, with the dragon as the totem, and to the east downstream to divide out the Shaohao clan, moved to the Taishan area, from the Xihe tribe to Gaotao, Boyi's Dongyi tribal alliance is to the phoenix (Xuanniao) as the circle.
It is believed that the myths and legends are not accurately reflected, and the strategic nodes related to Luoyang are found to have obvious historical contexts, which is from the beginning of the Yan and Huang to agriculture from the 'ancient Qiang system, the mother family - the Yellow Emperor originated in the Jingwei Plain, out of Luoyang and the Yellow River to the downstream, and the Dongyi system Chiyou originated in the coastal hills, out of Mount Tai along the Yellow River, the two major forces of the Yellow Emperor won a comprehensive victory in the Central Plains, and obtained the ownership of a large piece of the plain in the Central Plains, which excluded the road of the Dongyi fishing and hunting marine civilization, and laid the foundation of the Han and Qiang mainland farming civilization.
Chiyou did not get the strategic node of the enemy Luoyang, and also lost the strategic node of his own Mount Tai, since the Yellow Emperor sealed Mount Tai, the holy mountain of Dongyi, the emperors of all dynasties have evolved this move, sealed Mount Tai, in order to eliminate the remaining veins of Dongyi, and the luck of China as a whole.
The cultural tradition of the dragon male is the emperor and the phoenix female is the queen, alluding to this one victory, you must know that the phoenix is a male bird in the word phoenix, and at this time it can only be female.
The earlier the era of myths and legends, because the war skills are not high, the more the victory is determined by the general trend of the population, and the victory of the Yellow Emperor is not without reason - I have to say that the Loess Plain formed by the impact of the Yellow River is a fertile and easy-to-cultivate treasure land for the initial agriculture, and can surpass the limitations of the times and reproduce sufficient population, so that the Yellow Emperor can fail many times or rise, while Chiyou only fails once and is finished.
In the long historical period after that, most of the Chinese agricultural population was concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the first line of Hangu Pass in Luoyang was blocked by mountains and rivers, gradually forming two different large plains in the eastern part of the country and western China, making Luoyang gradually upgrade from the strategic node of the Jingwei Plain to the core midpoint of controlling the eastern great plain.
With Luoyang Hangu Pass as the boundary, known as the Kansai and Kanto, and the two different population, culture and economic circles have been reproduced, including the exchange of luck between people, and different dragon qi will gradually be formed when viewed in general.
Guanxi is Sanfu Qindi, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the total area of this large plain is relatively small, but the advantage is that there are Loess Plateau, Qinling, Taihang Mountains and other sides surrounded, in addition to the threat from the plateau ethnic groups (with the Han system of the same origin of the Qiang system), similar to the security environment of Shu, and along the Yellow River through the Hangu line of smooth export channels, livable and suitable for farming and convenient transportation, large population and excellent quality, is a rapid rise of the place, the amount of dragon gas is small and condensed.
Kanto is Hebei, Henan, located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, the total area is relatively large, in the Han Dynasty the development is not complete, there is even a large area of primeval forest, is a comprehensive expansion of the place, the dragon gas is large and scattered.
"There are righteous people in the Kanto region, and they raise troops to fight against the murderers. In the early days, the alliance was in Jin, and the heart was in Xianyang. ”
- Mengjin is the Yellow River crossing in the north of Luoyang City, named the League because the Zhou Wu King will be the princes of the alliance to cut down the place, after the heroes arrive in Luoyang, here will be the alliance to discuss Dong has a meaning.
And Xianyang is the place where Chang'an is called, and Dong Zhuo avoided moving the capital.
Cao Cao's "Artemisia Li Xing" can no longer be more clear than showing this confrontation between the Kanto and Kansai regions, and showing the strategic details - the east-west showdown, the core of the battle is Luoyang, where the Duke of Zhou first established the eastern capital of Chengzhou (Luoyi) to monitor the princes of the Kwantung region and deter the dragon qi of different veins.
If it was the cohesive Kwantan Army, all the Eastern Army would have failed - the destruction of the Shang Dynasty itself was due to the rapid rise of the Zhou State from the west when the rebellion was quelled by the east.
The Zhou Dynasty lost the backing of the Guanxi, Luoyang lost the power to control the Guandong, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed from the west by the fast-rising Qin State.
Liu Bang obtained the hometowns of Hanzhong and Qin Sanfu in order to be defeated repeatedly in the war with Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu was completely finished if he failed once.
Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu used Luoyang to unify Chang'an, and he compressed the Red Mei Army to lack food with potential, and Liu Bang entered Xianyang before Xiang Yukou and had almost no resistance, which are all special cases of the current situation.
Because of this kind of precedent, if the Kwantung coalition army wanted to welcome back the Son of Heaven from Chang'an, it had to completely eliminate Dong Zhuo, but then the tiger prison was locked up in the hands of Lu Bu and suffered, and then Cao Cao and Sun Jian's breakthrough were defeated by Xu Rong, and even Li Yu broke the famous general Zhu Ru in the late Han Dynasty, which made the princes deeply afraid of Dong Zhuo's Western Liang army.
These are Ye Qing's estimation of Luoyang's strategic value based on his special background, if it is an analogy game, he will definitely be confident that he has opened the hidden mode, which is enough to form an information asymmetric advantage for most people on the ground.
However, since Ye Qing's rebirth, he never dared to treat any substantial world realm as a game, and this stable mentality allowed him to judge a lot of true information from the trends of intelligence gathering from all sides...... For example, the governor and Yu Fan must have an understanding of the Luoyang incident.
Either out of dragon instinct, or from a political perspective, or out of historical analysis...... No matter what the reason, the result is the same, these two enemies will never fight to rescue Luoyang like Cao Cao and Sun Jian in history, and will only spare no effort to drag him back.
"Then let's see who is more prepared. Ye Qing squinted his eyes and looked back, the smoke and dust on the official road were rushing to the sky, the sound of scout horses' hooves was near, and the banner of Cao Zi was faintly visible.
Ye Qing laughed out loud: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be ......"
Qianqian nodded knowingly, and blinked again: "Is this sentence very famous?
“... I made it up, teach you to be a good man, and come what you don't want. Ye Qing said nonsense casually, and ordered Zhang Fangbiao to lead a cavalry army to defend himself, and the others marched as usual, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, until he passed a fork in the road, Qianqian pulled his sleeve: "Look"
Ye Qing looked at another way, the same scout opened the way, and a big banner with the word Sun suddenly came into view, and the silk white dragon qi condensed.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and laughed, and another big fish came: "One by one, they are chasing quickly, are you afraid that I will directly throw a thunder and blow up the Tiger Prison Pass?"
