Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 889
Chen Shi was one of the few close friends brought by Wei Wang Shikan from Huaibei, and he was also one of the people who strongly advocated returning to Huaibei.

King Wei, as one of the most powerful parties in the Zhao Kingdom, naturally has many fans under his command. In addition to some old Huaibei people whose loyalty is absolutely guaranteed, there are also Hebei Shiren who have been recruited in Hebei in the past few years.With so many people under his command, it is inevitable that there will be disputes and conflicts.Especially about where to go in the future, there are constant disputes.

Old people in Huaibei like Chen Shi naturally hoped that the King of Wei would lead his people back to Huaibei. On the one hand, Huaibei has its own local roots, and on the other hand, it is unwilling to intervene in the struggle for the highest power in the Jie Kingdom.

And some Hebei people, of course, hope that Shi Kan can stay. After all, in the past few years, Hebei has been the orthodox seat of Jie State. Only by staying in Hebei can they have the opportunity to fully inherit the legacy of Zhao State.Of course, the most important thing is that neither Cheng Xia nor Shi Hu are ideal candidates for Jin people from Hebei. Its people even created a situation where the big clans are in charge of the current situation.

Going south or going north are two big differences, and within the two camps, there are other small differences. For example, going north is divided into Xiangguo and Pingyang, while going south is divided into Luoyang and Huaibei two directions.Among them, Pingyang has a connection with Luoyang. After all, they have the same direction in the early stage, they both bypassed Taihang Mountain via Hanoi, and their respective influences are not high.

As for the two directions of Xiangguo and Huaibei, the dispute is incompatible, because these are two completely opposite choices.And once a decision is made, it will be related to the survival of the entire King Wei's forces.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Yecheng is really bad now, and the parties are constantly in dispute, and even if it is about to rise to the level of fire, it is really chaotic to the extreme.Although Wei Wang Shikan is the co-owner of these people, it is really difficult to suppress the disputes between the parties, so he is timid to express his opinion.

As the absolute direct descendant of the King of Wei, Chen Shi believed that the King of Wei was also inclined to return to Huaibei, apart from anything else, at least he could get rid of these disputes.But the problem is, if you want to return to Huaibei regardless of the current situation, one is very likely that the tribe will fall apart immediately, and the strength will be greatly damaged; Those two sides are a barrier to the south.

Faced with this situation, Chen Shi was unwilling to force King Wei to go too far. Moreover, as a warrior who grew up in the trilogy, he was originally a man who was slow in speech but quick in action, so he simply led his 5000 people from his headquarters to the south. Cross the Yellow River and occupy Yanjin.He believed that King Wei would not just ignore him. Sure enough, when he arrived in Yanjin, King Wei also had to prepare 2 horses in Ji County on the opposite bank to succeed him.

Yanjin is an extremely important group of ferries in the middle and lower section of the Yellow River. There are more than a dozen large and small ferries in the vicinity alone. Among them, the relatively large Shijin Ferry, Baima Ferry, Lingchangjin, etc., can all be transported in a very short period of time. The big ferry crossing ten thousand troops.

Among them, the Baima Ferry is the closest to Yecheng, where the Yecheng Bridge is set in the morning and the Baimajin is crossed in the evening.Lingchangjin is the narrowest part of the Yellow River waterway. When Shi Le was alive in the early years, Zeng Jin personally led an army to cross the river while Lingchangjin was frozen, and went straight into Chenliu County, defeating Zhao Liuyao of the Han Dynasty.

There are other small ferries such as Dushijin, Jijin, Xijin, Wenshijin, etc. Although the scale and importance are not as large as those of the big ferries, they should not be underestimated.For example, in the early years when Zhao Zhu Shile had not yet traversed Hebei, he went south to attack Shouchun to no avail, and his army was weak and exhausted.

There are more than [-] people in Chen Shi's headquarters, which seems to be a lot, but if you want to completely defend this section of the ferry, the hundreds of kilometers of the Yellow River waterway is almost a dream.However, he did not come here for defense, but to take the initiative to attack.

He knew that Shen Weizhou in Huainan, Yuzhou was now vigorously besieging and suppressing Chen Guang who was entrenched in Chenliu, and he also had Heluo Taobao as his concern. Before the two sides had a settled situation, he would never dare to start a war north again. end.

So after crossing the river, he stationed the main force of 3000 people in Suanzao, and at the same time sent scouts to Yangwu, Yuanwu and other places in Xingyang. The Huainan army participated in the battle in Chenliu.As long as he can achieve results here, no matter how fierce the dispute in Yecheng is, it is impossible to ignore the passing of this opportunity, and King Wei will definitely send more troops to the south to occupy a solid stronghold in Chenliu.

In this way, the situation can suddenly become clear.On the one hand, it completely cut off the Hebei people's intention to seduce King Wei to go north to participate in Zhao's domestic turmoil. On the other hand, after occupying Chenliu, whether to go east to Huaibei or west to Heluo, the choice lies with King Wei.Now the king of Wei has more than [-] people. Although there are many opponents in the south of the Yellow River, it is difficult to stop the king of Wei!With this meritorious service, Chen Shi can also become one of the most important generals under King Wei!

The land of jujube is the place where the princes of Shandong joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo in the west at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the folk customs are quite sturdy.After Chen Shi crossed the south of the river, he first led his troops to clear Zongwubi in Linli Township near the left. As a result, he gained more than [-] people and spent [-] to [-] hu for grain and rice. What he got was enough for his followers to persist until the end of the year.

Moreover, after Chen Shi repeatedly sent people to contact and lobby, Yang Zhao, the general of Chen Guang who was entrenched in Cangyuan, had already intended to join him.In this way, Chen Shi can not only gain nearly 2000 more people, but also extend the control range hundreds of miles south, directly into the hinterland of Chenliu.

In this way, not to mention what kind of feats Chen Shi can create in the future, at least right now he is backed by the banner of King Wei, and the Huainan Army is blocked by Chen Guangqiang to the south of Chenliu. During this period of time, he can focus on developing and growing own power.

To be honest, even Chen Shi himself was amazed that Henan was so rich.When they were in Yecheng before, although Yecheng was the core hinterland of Zhao State and there were a lot of people, they were strong dragons passing through after all. Even with the trust of King Wei, they did not dare to encroach on the interests too much.Weijun, Jijun and other places centered on Yecheng are generally profitable and have been divided up by others. Unless they brazenly launch internal strife to completely swallow their opponents, it will be difficult to make a big improvement in strength in a short period of time.

The counties and counties along the south bank of the Yellow River have been war-torn for a long time without rectification, and they were originally just a barren land in the eyes of people.Even Chen Shi crossed the river himself mainly for merit.But he didn't expect that the income here was far beyond his imagination, and he could get amazing rewards almost every time he broke through a dock wall.

And the reason why this place is so rich, Chen Shi also gradually got the answer, mainly lies in the opening of Huainan's market.Although this place is far away from Huainan, at least we can travel there two or three times a year. Huainan is rich in products. As long as there are goods that can be shipped back, in this place where production has been severely damaged, the profits are at least several times higher. .

After learning this, Chen Shi became even more passionate. The area he controlled was far away from the edge of Huainan, and the income was already so rich.From this, one can imagine how rich the counties in southern Henan are.Even if he can't occupy it for a long time, if he just plunders it, the rewards will definitely be extremely rich.

Of course, if you want to earn money, you need to have matching strength. Chen Shi plans to double his number as much as possible in the next two to three months.When he has tens of thousands of people, he will be one of the most powerful forces under the King of Wei. Then he will let the King of Wei speak a little bit, attract more people from Hebei to the south, and then occupy several counties of Chen Guang. land, and then plunder southward, the strength will snowball like growth.

Of course, although the prospects are bright, Chen Shi dare not underestimate Huainan, the great enemy.After all, even King Zhongshan was defeated by Huaishang in the early years, and after several years of recuperation in Huainan, his strength must be much greater than it was a few years ago.

But this does not mean that Chen Shi is afraid of Huainan, even a small trouble like Chen Guang can entangle Huainan for several years.And all of his troops are the core elite imperial guards of Zhao State, and their combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of Chen Guangneng.Moreover, it occupies Yanjin, an important place along the Yellow River with dense crossings, and can advance or retreat. As long as they can be careful and not be too greedy, it will not be easy for the Huainan Army to defeat him.

The wealth of the people leads to the decline of ambition. Although Chen Shi doesn't understand this truth, he knows that those who dare to risk their lives are desperadoes with nothing. If they have no worries about food and clothing, people will inevitably lack fighting spirit.Nowadays, there are countless noble clans in the north and the south, but those who were able to fight fiercely at that time were still mostly those who were uprooted from the poor.

Therefore, in his opinion, the Huainan army may not be weak, but it is inevitable that they are not aggressive enough, otherwise, even a mere Chen Guang will not be able to solve it for a long time, it just lacks that kind of fighting spirit!Such an opponent, no matter how powerful he was, would be nothing more than a fat bull when he met a desperado, ready to be slaughtered.

Earlier, the Huainan army launched an attack on Chen Guang in Yongqiu, but was defeated by stubborn resistance. This also made Chen Shi heave a sigh of relief and confirmed his guess.Since there is no sign of the Chenliu war being resolved in the short term, his actions have become more frequent during this period of time, and his soldiers have even reached as far as Fengqiu. Every time he goes out, there will be gains, which makes him more ambitious.

The only dissatisfaction is that with the surge in his strength, others have also noticed the great benefits of Henan.Tian Ni, who served as the prefect of Jijun, also divided his troops across the river, occupied Huting in Xingyang upstream, and began to plunder the surrounding counties and towns in Henan.Although Chen Shi was dissatisfied with this, there was nothing he could do about it. Tian Ni was the son of the King of Wei. In a short period of time, the King of Wei would still bear the name of the former master's fake son, so he regarded Tian Ni as the heir of his original family.Although Chen Shi's strength has risen sharply recently, he still dare not turn against Tian Ni in the short term.

On this day, after the camp tour was over, Chen Shi found that several groups of people still hadn't returned. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't take it to heart.With the plundering of surrounding counties and towns, Zuo Jin gradually lost much income. If the soldiers wanted to earn as much as before, they would definitely have to wander farther.He, the chief general, has a lot of contempt for the Huainan Army, and the soldiers under his command are naturally in a state of madness.

After nightfall, there was a sudden noise outside the camp, and soon someone rushed into the big tent and shouted loudly: "Hu Ting was attacked, Lord Xin Le ordered General Chen to quickly rescue and rescue the danger!"

　I checked a lot of information today, it's a bit late to start writing, let's update it first, sorry.This chapter involves a lot of place names, and it can be regarded as a geographical overview of the official battle to Hebei.
