Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 257 The Battle of Hanoi Comes to an End

Hearing the familiar words, Zhang Ning smiled, but still restrained.

"You..." Zhang Ning suddenly realized that there was a problem with this title, so he changed his subject: "Your Majesty took down Hanoi, can the Baibo army cross the Fenshui River in the south and take the other half of the East River?"

Liu Qing also thought so about taking down the entire Hedong, but unfortunately Xun Yu said that the time has not yet come.

The reason why the Baibo army was able to quickly gain a foothold in the north of Fenshui was because it was a mess. It was plagued by foreign bandits for more than half a year. The land was abandoned and the people were displaced. Therefore, as long as the Baibo army wiped out the foreign bandits and rectified the refugees, they did not encounter any obstacles from local forces.

And the south where Anyi is located is the most affluent area in the whole of Hedong. It can be said that there are many powerful families and powerful people. It is obviously not an easy task to conquer by force alone. After all, Liu Qing can't end now.

Speaking of these powerful families, even Liu Qing's current Jizhou is still in a state of shelving, and their composition is too complicated to be treated in the same way.

For example, those who participated in the Yellow Turban rebellion in the early days can be directly defeated. For example, those who defy the governance can also be deliberately targeted, but the biggest ones are precisely those who hold a supportive attitude.

Similar to the Yu County model, because they had been threatened by the Yellow Turbans and had to make concessions, but Jizhou was not only threatened, but also devastated by war, so they knew how to compromise.

Except for the relatively special Anping County, I believe that the judge and Zhao Yun will repair them well.

Speaking back to Hedong, Liu Qing felt that the right time should be to expand after Jizhou and Bingzhou were relatively stable.

Liu Qing replied: "There is no need to worry about the south of Fenshui. First, take root in the north, continue to cultivate wasteland and expand farming, hoard grain and grass, and train soldiers and horses. In the future, there may be chaos in the east of the river."

"There is still chaos in Hedong, why?" Zhang Ning asked puzzled.

"Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang stationed troops at Wuguan. If he turned against Dong Zhuo, Hedong would be lost. Moreover, the Yuan family assisted Liu Bian to proclaim the emperor, and the momentum to challenge Dong has been achieved. It is not only the Chen Liu Huimeng, like the Chen Liu Huimeng. I'm afraid this kind of gathering of miscellaneous fish is just used by Yuan to test the attitude of the world."

Zhang Ning was a little unbelievable. He gathered the chiefs of the counties, and Chen Liuhuimeng from the Eighteenth Army Town was just a test?The King of Bohai called him... a party of miscellaneous fish?
But thinking about what happened to the Hanoi County of the leader Yuan Shao, he was manipulated by the King of Bohai. It seems that it is quite appropriate to describe it as a miscellaneous fish.

"What does the Yuan family have to do with Hedong County in seeking Dong?"

"Hedong is the granary of Sili. As the former governor of Hedong, how could Dong Zhuo not know? How can he tolerate you occupying the entire Hedong? And think about it, who has the advantage between Yuan and Dong Zhuo?"

"Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is brave in battle, far from being comparable to the soldiers in the Central Plains, and Dong Zhuo's advantage is naturally in Dong Zhuo."

However, Liu Qing doesn't think so. Dong Zhuojun's superiority in force is immediate, while what Yuan has is the support of scholars all over the world, more population, more money and food. In the long run, as long as Yuan doesn't There is no suspense in this battle to come up with the front-end version of "Guandu".

But Liu Qing said in his mouth: "That's right! The advantage is Dong Zhuo, south of Fenshui, it's not advisable for now!"

Liu Qing saved his explanation again.

Looking at Liu Qing's mysterious smile, Zhang Ning always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find it.

"It's all based on the orders of the King of Bohai." Zhang Ning said.

This sounded pleasant to the ear, but Liu Qing felt that he didn't like to listen to it that much, because his impression of Zhang Ning was that coldness and resistance were the norm. If he suddenly obeyed, it would be unpleasant.

Perhaps this is the reason why people miss life as if it were just like the first time they saw it.

Liu Qing stroked his newly sprouted beard, put aside these inappropriate thoughts, and said instead: "If you win a battle, you should reward the soldiers, don't be a mean woman!"

After speaking, Liu Qing returned to the army with a smile.

Zhang Ning was at a loss.

What is a mean woman?
When the three armies met, communication was inevitable. Under Xu Huang's recommendation, Liu Qing also met Yang Feng and Fan Chou.

Sooner or later, Yang Feng is one of his own people, Fan Chou, the five big and three rough, which is very in line with Liu Qing's stereotyped influence on Xiliang fierce generals.

Although it was an ordinary meeting, but because of the little innocence in their hearts, they both praised King Bohai for a while.

Yang Feng knew that King Bohai was his master behind the scenes, and Fan Chou's reason for admiring Liu Qing was even simpler, because Mr. Dong admired King Bohai very much!

Before staying longer, Liu Qing returned to Licheng, and Fan Chou's army and Baibo's army had finished "dividing the loot", and they planned to join forces. With Yuan Shao's sad exit, the Battle of Hanoi officially came to an end, but the problem before Liu Qing, But it will not disappear suddenly, that is Hanoi County after the war, where will it go.

Zhu Jun will naturally return to Huai County, and the law and order in the counties will gradually return to normal. In addition, the Black Mountain Army will be subdued by Liu Qing, and Hanoi County will naturally move towards a stable and positive road.

"My lord, do you want to go back to Wei County next?" Guo Jia asked Liu Qing who was staring at the file in a daze.

"Most of Hanoi County is in my hands. If you don't eat this piece of meat, even if you return to Wei County, this king will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

The people who went to summon Jushou are probably about to enter the territory of Jizhou now. The candidate for Liu Qing has already been selected, and the letter to Dong Zhuo has also been sent. As for whether Dong Zhuo will buy it or not, it depends on him.

"My lord, Jia has also received a letter from Wen Ruo, saying that Zhicai's mother has passed away, and Zhicai will leave for Hebei soon."

"Didn't he keep filial piety for his mother?"

"I once heard Wen Ruo mention this matter. Zhicai's mother said that Zhicai had fulfilled her filial piety during her lifetime. After her death, she should be loyal and be a person who has both loyalty and filial piety."

"The opera mother really knows people with great integrity, and I am lucky to be able to achieve ambition!" Liu Qing sighed.

In the environment of filial piety in the Han Dynasty, if Xi Zhicai followed his mother's words, he would fall into a vicious circle of being both ridiculed and praised by the world.

"I don't know, is Zhicai's illness better?" Guo Jia also sighed, and couldn't help thinking that when he was in Yingchuan in the past, he and Xi Zhicai were called sick by Xun Yu.

Guo Jia's disease is a disease of excessive drinking and sex. Now Guo Jia is fighting with Liu Qing everywhere. Not to mention staying away from drinking and sex, even his body has become much stronger. But the disease of acting and talent is the real disease. It didn't seem like it would be any better.

Liu Qing couldn't help thinking of Hua Tuo, and wondered where this genius doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty would be now?

"Ban Ming, let the world know from now on that anyone who provides information about Hua Tuo and finds someone will be rewarded [-] yuan, and those who can provide important clues will be rewarded [-] yuan."

"Here!" Ban Ming replied.

"Who is Hua Tuo?" Guo Jia asked curiously.

Guo Jia didn't know about Hua Tuo. I'm afraid Hua Tuo was wandering around to study medicine at this time, and there were not many people who treated him. He hadn't reached the point of becoming famous.

Liu Qing didn't know how to explain it, so he said nonsense: "I have heard people mention that he is a miracle doctor. I hope to try my luck, maybe I can find him."

Liu Qing casually spread out the two documents in front of him, which were the two agreements signed by Yuan Shao. Looking at them, Liu Qing felt like he saw a mountain of grain and grass.

"Feng Xiao, in your opinion, how much is 40 stones of grain and grass to Yuan?"

Guo Jia thought for a while, and said: "If the lord is used as a substitute, it will probably take away the weight of the two counties of Jizhou."

Take two counties from the nine counties of Jizhou?

For a moment Liu Qing didn't know whether the weight was big or small. If he had to say it, it should be a pain in the flesh, not a muscle injury.

"Chu Yan, there are no Heishan Army soldiers now. You and Zhang Niujiao will go to Luchang Mountain to solve the problem of the poisonous Heishan Army. Tell him that the former Chaoge county magistrate who forced him to fall into the grass has already hung his head on the city." In addition, Zhu Jun is now stationed on the north bank of Jishui, and I am afraid he is still on guard against Yuan Shao, so he will transfer all the food and grass before he attacks Huai County."

"Follow the order!" Chu Yan replied.

The next step is to wait for Luo Yang's news.

……

A few days after the Battle of Hanoi ended, although Fan Chou's army had not yet returned, the news of the victory had reached Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also rushed back to Luoyang overnight.

Early the next morning, Dong Zhuo was surprised to hear Jia Xu begging to see him.

It is now June, and the weather is often extremely hot and stuffy, Dong Zhuo only wore a thin brocade robe, and had two servants beside him to fan the wind.

Dong Zhuo greeted Jia Xu's arrival with a smile. After getting along for a long time, Dong Zhuo also felt a little bit of Jia Xu's personality. For example, if he came back without asking for instructions, something good must happen!
"Mr. Dong, Fan Chou fought across the river and won a complete victory, beheading more than ten thousand people!" Jia Xu said.

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo stretched his brows and his eyes lit up. Even though he had a premonition that something good would happen, he didn't expect such a big good thing!
"General Fan Chou is so powerful, we must reward him heavily!" Dong Zhuo shouted.

"However, as far as I can see, it is impossible for Fan Chou to have achieved such a victory. He must have received help from others, and this person is the Baibo Army who Dong Gong once asked me to let me go through Jiguan."

"You mean, the Baibo army gave Fan Chou the harvest?"

Jia Xu nodded, as a seizure, in Fan Chou's battle report, no money or food was seized.

"It doesn't matter! The Baibo Army has a special status. They exchange their military exploits for some money and food. It makes sense. This matter has nothing to do with the overall situation. The Battle of Hanoi..."

"It's over, Yuan Shao has more than 3 troops, only a few thousand people escaped."

"Good! That's really good news! Liang County has been recovered, and now Hanoi is recovered again. After Xu Rong defeats the enemy in the east and Chen Liu Huimeng, he can declare a big defeat! Hahaha!" Dong Zhuohao laughed, and his voice was empty. Think back in the hall.

"However, Mr. Dong, the King of Bohai is also in Hanoi. I have a vague feeling that the Baibo army was ordered by him, and even the actions of the Black Mountain army in this battle are very strange." Jia Xu thought for a while, and decided to tell himself idea.

Dong Zhuo seemed to have heard some important gossip, and suddenly became interested.

Jia Xu told all the things he knew about Hanoi. The Huai County camp was captured by the Black Mountain Army, and finally Huai County was also occupied by the Black Mountain Army. As a result, Yuan Shao lost his rear and fell into a passive and beaten situation. During the battle, there were also rumors of the Xiliang Army.

Hearing this, the expression on Dong Zhuo's face was wonderful. Jia Xu was solely responsible for everything in the battle of Hanoi, and Jia Xu also said that he did not send surprise troops to attack the camp in Huai County.

"Hu Zhen at Sishuiguan wants to send Hua Xiong to cross the river from Wushejin to intercept Yuan Jun. To prevent Yuan Jun from taking advantage of the situation to cross the river, I have rejected this suggestion, so there is no possibility of Xiliang Army in the north."

"That's strange, could it be that the king of Bohai ordered someone to cheat?" Dong Zhuo boldly guessed.

Jia Xu turned his gaze, and boldly guessed: "It may not be a fraud, Dong Gong can still remember, Zhang Xiu."

"That's right!" Dong Zhuo clapped his big hands, as if the truth had come to light, "It must be Zhang Xiu who led the army, so he would be regarded as the Xiliang Army!" Having said this, Dong Zhuo suddenly realized something.

"Why did King Bohai target Yuan Shao in Hanoi?"

"Of course it's for Hanoi County!" Jia Xu said bluntly.

"Wen He means that King Bohai led the battle against Yuan behind the scenes?"

Jia Xu said indifferently: "I transferred Fan Chou's army to cross the river. I used it as a surprise soldier to draw Yuan Jun. However, Fan Chou cooperated with the Baibo Army and the Heishan Army to defeat Yuan Shao, and his actions were quite strategic. There is a mastermind! The only one I think is possible is the King of Bohai."

"Wenhe's words are very reasonable, and we think so too, but does the king of Bohai suddenly want to take Hanoi for himself?" Hanoi is the county of Sili, so it is the northern barrier of Luoyang. To occupy, Dong Zhuo will have a grudge, even if the opponent is the king of Bohai.

Jia Xu could see Dong Zhuo's special attitude towards the King of Bohai. If the King of Bohai really stepped into Dong Zhuo's sensitive area, the relationship between the two would become delicate.

"Yes or no, I'm afraid Dong Gong will receive a letter from King Bohai soon." Jia Xu said.

He knew that the King of Bohai once demanded three or four rewards from the governors of Jizhou, and Dong Zhuo was satisfied with all of them. But Hanoi County is the county of Sili, and Jia Xu didn't know whether the King of Bohai would take this step.

The two were silently thinking, and suddenly they communicated together.

"Report-"

The official in the mansion stepped forward, presented a document, and said, "A letter from the King of Bohai!"

Hearing this name, both Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu's ears shook. Dong Zhuo glanced at Jia Xu blankly, while Jia Xu stared closely at the letter that had been delivered to Dong Zhuo.

The answer is in it!
Letter from Dong Zhuo:

"Zhongying is well! It has been nearly a year since we left Bingzhou last year. It is rumored that Zhongying has been in a lot of trouble recently and has been attacked by enemies. My king heard that Yuan Benchu ​​entered Hanoi, which caused the military disaster in Hanoi County. Hanoi County and most of Jizhou are in general. In the granary of the Han Dynasty, first there was the Black Mountain Army, and then there was the Yuan Army. Today, there are as many homeless people as a cow's hair. The land that produces grain should not be poisoned by war. Whoever causes chaos and harms the people is the enemy of the Han Dynasty, the enemy of this king, so this king's relatives Lead the army to Hanoi to wipe out the Black Mountain Army and others."

Dong Zhuo froze for a moment, then read the rest of the content.

"At present, all the counties are settled, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. Therefore, the king recommended Ju, the prefect of Changshan, to be the prefect of Hanoi. This man governs the county well. Changshan County was the most grain-producing state in Jizhou last year. It is all thanks to this man. I wish With this person's kindness, I have benefited Hanoi, Zhongying understands the righteousness deeply, and should understand the truth, this king is waiting for the good news."

Can you refuse?Dong Zhuo asked in his heart, but a voice in his heart immediately answered: No!

Even though he knew that Jushou was the King of Bohai, his performance in governing the county was obvious to all, so he was indeed the best candidate to clean up the mess in Hanoi.

What Dong Zhuo resisted was actually just because Hanoi County was the gateway of Luoyang.

After hearing Dong Zhuo finish reading the letter, and seeing Dong Zhuo's appearance, Jia Xu knew that Dong Zhuo had made a decision, but he seemed to be hesitating.

So Jia Xu decided to help Dong Zhuo.

"Dong Gong's enemy is the Yuan family. Dong Gong thinks, Hanoi County is safe in the hands of Dong Gong, or in the hands of the King of Bohai?"

When Jia Xu said something, Dong Zhuo immediately understood and laughed.

"Wenhe's words are very suitable for us! Hahaha!"
