The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 104 The common people are the embodiment of wisdom (710)

At the beginning of April, the northern and southern armies left the Huimeng station.

On the day when the soldiers left the camp, the dragon flag rolled up, the horse neighed, the spears were like a forest, and the flags covered the sky.

The southern army is majestic and the northern army is mighty.

All the princes looked at the strength of the two armies from a distance, feeling awe-inspiring, and felt that the two armies descended like fierce tigers and eagles patrolling the sky.

It is completely different from the troops under their command, which are scattered and like sheep.

Whether it is the Northern Army led by Zhang Yang or the Southern Army led by Sun Jian, they all have a fierce aura that has experienced hundreds of battles.

It's mind blowing!

All the princes realized that after the division of troops into three groups, the next step is basically to fight on their own.

The alliance will be broken!

……

Amidst the sound of horseshoes shaking the sky, the dark Bingzhou wolves slowly started to speed up, and galloped away in an orderly manner to the north.

Although it was not the first time to take so many cavalry on a trip, Cheng Yuanzhi still felt that his pride was in his chest and his spirit was high.

Sugai reined in his horse and stood on the left side of the road. When Cheng Yuanzhi arrived, he pulled up his horse and followed the ranks, then turned his head and said:
"Commander, Prefect Zhang has already arranged boats to cross the river, and the front team has already crossed the Yellow River at this time."

Feeling the gratifying changes in the Shangdang cavalry, Cheng Yuanzhi nodded and said "hmm", feeling full of joy.

Zhang Yang set off first in the morning, and led his troops across the river at noon, seeing that his troops were as swift as the wind, and had won the essence of cavalry.

It seems that his hard work in the past few years has not been in vain, and he has developed a strong team.

However, most of the credit for this should be attributed to Zhang Liao and others.

Since the formation of 10 cavalry in Shangdang County, Cheng Yuanzhi has poured several [-] taels of silver into it.

The cavalry is not like the infantry. As long as the infantry has enough food for a long time and supplemented by high-intensity training, most of them can become strong soldiers when they are usually young and strong.

The components of the cavalry include not only people but also horses.

No matter how strong the infantry is, it takes countless time and energy to become a qualified cavalryman!

The elements of an elite cavalry, on the one hand, need to practice hard every day to achieve the unity of man and horse, and the army as one, like arms and fingers; on the other hand, it needs to go through the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield!
Of course, if a famous general takes the lead in training, under the same conditions, the speed of training into elite cavalry is much higher than that of soldiers led by ordinary generals.

Now Zhang Yang has a lot of talents under his command, including Li Su as an advisor; Mu Shun, Zhang Liao, Hou Xie, Wei Yue, Xue Lan, Li Feng and others as generals.

That's right, it's Li Su!
After Li Su escaped from Dong Zhuo, he quickly defected to Zhang Yang.However, he still doesn't know who the master behind Zhang Yang is.

While walking, Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly thought of something again, and was immediately worried.

When the princes first joined the alliance, Cai Yong and Yuan Kui were still in Luoyang City, one was the Taifu and the other was Sikong.

At the beginning, they firmly believed that Dong Zhuo would not dare to do anything to them, so they did not leave with Cheng Yuanzhi, but only let their family members and property accompany them.

It's always good to leave a way out.

Originally, there were two ferries, Ping and Meng, in the north of Luoyang, which were usually used for soldiers and horses to cross the river or dock large merchant ships, which was extremely fast and convenient.

But as soon as the war started, Dong Zhuo sent troops to take control of the ferry.

Fortunately, there is only one or two people crossing the river, and there is no need to go to a place as big as the ferry, just find a shallow shoal.

Cheng Yuanzhi had already left a few boats at the non-ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, waiting day and night.

But when he saw someone coming from the south, he immediately crossed the river to meet him.

At this time, I don't know if the two 60-year-olds escaped.

After the meeting of the princes, although the news has not been cut off, there has never been a letter from Hanoi.

Cheng Yuanzhi pondered and asked: "Have you heard from the two adults?"

Sugai shook his head, but said nothing.

That means there is no audio...

So Cheng Yuanzhi became even more worried. Yuan Kai's life and death were related to his plan for a long time to devour Jizhou with the stork behind him. If he died at this time, the effect of his plan would be halved.

More than half off!

He is not as famous as Yuan Shao...

.........

Besides, after Wen Mingyuan discussed the abolition of the establishment that day, Yuan Kai sensed something was wrong and wanted to leave the city, but found that the city gate had been guarded by Dong Zhuo.

Back home, Yuan Kai was restless, always feeling that his two nephews were about to make a fuss.

A big movement that could kill him in an instant!
Just at this time, Cai Yong sent someone to invite him, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Yuan Kui didn't want to go at first, but when he saw that the visitor was serious, he resisted his irritability and came to Cai's house.

Then he was held back by Cai Yong, and asked to retreat, and escaped from the city through the backyard of Cheng Yuanzhi's house.

Two sixtieth old men supported each other and came to the south bank of the Yellow River.

Looking up, the mountains are standing tall and the water is surging. There are neither boats nor woodcutters.

My life is over!

Just as Yuan Wei sighed, he saw a small boat coming from the other side of the river.

Respectfully catch the two of them, and row north until they settle down in Suohuai County, the prefecture of Hanoi.

A narrow escape from the dead made Yuan Kuihou terrified and at the same time figured out many things.

The first thing is that my nephew Yuan Shao is unreliable, that guy is a real tiger!My uncle was still in Luoyang, so he sent troops to attack Dong?

Are you really not afraid that this old bone will be dismantled and reinstalled by Dong Zhuo?
Although Yuan Kai often talked about "living enough" and "not afraid of death", when things really happened to him, he still felt instantly chilled like falling into an ice cave.

As for the other nephew, Yuan Shu... let's not mention it.

In contrast, it was Cheng Yuanzhi, the adoptive son, who was meticulous in his work and treated him with affection and righteousness.

Regardless of whether Dong Zhuo entered the city or after entering the city, he repeatedly hinted that he would evacuate Luoyang as soon as possible...

It's not a hint, it's an indication!

But at that time, he didn't listen to the kind words.

Whenever he thinks of this episode, Yuan Wei feels ashamed. He has lived for more than 60 years, and he has not seen things as thoroughly as his son.

After Yuan Shao raised his army, with Dong Zhuo's temperament, Yuan Kai had already foreseen his own consequences, the whole family must be sacrificed to the flag!
The lives of more than 200 people are so contemptible and worthless in the eyes of the two nephews...

Yuan Kai once again felt that he had lived in vain for more than 60 years, and there was nothing worse than death.

The second thing is that Hanoi has a huge population!I'm afraid it's more than a million.

In the city of Huai County, there are many shops on the street, the people are like ants, and there is an endless stream of hawking, which is extremely prosperous.People have an illusion of arriving in the capital city of Luoyang.

Yuan Kai immediately realized that Hanoi was a good place to live, and his adopted son had a good vision, and maybe he could really achieve great things!
He knew that Hanoi has always been a good place. In the past, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu once occupied Hanoi and became an emperor.But I didn't expect the conditions in Hanoi County to be so good.

Thinking about it, it should be the credit of Zhu Jun's management in the past few years.

.........

When Cheng Yuanzhi saw Yuan Wei, the latter had recovered from the shock on the surface, and his eyes were much more friendly than before.

Anyone who finds out that the two nephews are rebellious and the adopted son is very filial will feel bad.

Although Yuan Kai hid the loss well, Cheng Yuanzhi was still keenly aware of it.

So he arranged for Cai Yong to live next to Yuan Kai, and asked Cai Yan to greet the latter sooner or later, and treat him like a father-in-law.

Yuan Kai gradually came out from the shadows.

However, after this incident, his head was covered with white hair, his waist became bent a lot, and he often coughed and coughed continuously.

It was as if he had lost his desire for life.

On the contrary, Cai Yong, with a flushed face, seems to have found a new direction in life, and is full of energy every day.

Because Cheng Yuanzhi entrusted him with all affairs in Hanoi, including the official seal of the prefect of Hanoi.

Cai Yong did not expect that he would still be able to govern a place when he was old.

Look at how Liu Hong used him in the past few years, either Yilang or Yushi!
What are Yilang and Yushi?
You can say whatever you don't like, you just need to talk, you don't have to do any other practical things, and you don't have any real power!
This is Yilang and Yushi.

Don’t you know that Cai Yong is not only talented in literature and proficient in music, but also has many other abilities?

In addition, I have always dreamed of being a man of action.

Therefore, knowing people and making good use of them is a profound knowledge.

Obviously, Liu Hong does not have this ability, as can be seen from his appointment of He Jin as a general.

He Jin, who was not worthy of virtue, not only directly ruined the whole He family, but also ruined the Han family, making the court and the young emperor fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

How sad!

A pathetic person must have something to hate!

After settling the two old men, Cheng Yuanzhi ordered his troops to station on the north bank of Mengjin Ferry, across the river from Dong Zhuojun.

At the same time, countless spies and intermediaries were sent to sneak into the south bank and spread rumors in the surrounding villages of Luoyang that Dong Zhuojun was going to dig graves, burn down the palace, and relocate millions of Luoyang people to Guanzhong.

The most important thing is that Dong Zhuojun not only burned, killed, looted, insulted women, but also ate live cubs!
The brutality of Dong Zhuo's army has long been known to the common people, but they have lived here for generations. Now that Luoyang's eight passes are closed and the roads are impassable, where can they move?

Just when the common people were in panic and felt that the sky was falling, the people from Xizuo and Jian told them about the stability, prosperity and stability of Hanoi County in due course.

And told Cheng Yuanzhi's words.

"Welcome to Hanoi!"

In addition, he also taught them how to smuggle across the Yellow River.

The specific method is: prepare a raft, bring your wife and children with you, and find a gentle and open place on the river.

[-]. Rafting across.

Two, swim through.

Because it is early summer and the river is not cold, it is possible to swim across the river.

Unexpectedly, these methods were all rejected by the people.

The people who received the notice immediately set off for the whole village and the whole village with the family as a unit.

But no cumbersome rafts.

They came to the south bank of the Yellow River, looking for a place where the river course was only a few feet long and the water flow was narrow and violent.First nail the rope on the high ground on the south bank, let a man with good water ability swim across the river with the rope on his back, lay wooden stakes on the river beach on the opposite bank, fasten the rope end, and make a simple up and down zipline.

Then smear sesame oil on the rope, sit in the hook basket one by one, slid over with a swipe...

The oiled rope is exceptionally silky, with no resistance.

And silky, in many occasions, it is invincible, and it slides to the end.

What's more, some daring youths with high skills held a long pole from the high place on the south bank, plunged into the river, and flew over holding the pole.

This scene made Cheng Yuanzhi and many soldiers stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River dumbfounded.

Sure enough, the people are the embodiment of wisdom!
