Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 250
Jizhou, Hejian County.

It is said to be Hejian County, but it actually evolved from the original Hejian Kingdom. In the first year of Yanxi Emperor Huan, Hejian Kingdom was divided into Liwu County, Gaoyang County and Zhongshan Country!

But now, Hejian County can be regarded as the general term for the "agreement and custom" of the people here.

Speaking of it, this place is not only rich in donkey meat, it is not only the hometown of the emperor Liu Hong, but also a great spectacle, the [-] mu of fertile land here was purchased by the emperor Liu Hong.

That was the beginning of his accession to the throne. When he was a child, he was afraid of poverty. The first thing he did was to use the money from the treasury to buy land for himself and recruit tenant farmers.

You must know that this part of the money and food is kept in Hejian's hometown, and it is completely Liu Hong's private property.

Today, the lord of the Hejian Kingdom is the clan Liu Yu.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, he was originally the Prime Minister of Ganling, but was urgently transferred to Hejian County. Speaking of it, it was because the emperor was worried about his farmland in Hanoi County...need to send a trustworthy person to coordinate and dispatch.

It stands to reason that now that the Yellow Turban Uprising has been put down, the stone in Liu Yu's heart should have fallen.

However, things backfired. At this time, Liu Yu was still frowning. The reason...was the importance of Hejian County, and...the existence of the remnants of the Yellow Turban.

The Black Mountain Army in the Taihang Mountains is always Hejian County... no... To be precise, it is a threat to every city and county in Jizhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that these 30 Black Mountain Army can destroy any city or county in Jizhou in an instant.
Liu Yu shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the fields in Hejian for the emperor, so every move here is of great importance.

Therefore...he has always prepared thirty fast horses and more than ten messengers, and if there is any trouble, he will report it to His Majesty.

At this time, Liu Yu waited anxiously, with his hands behind his back, worrying in a hurry...

A while later, Liu Yu's subordinate Yan Rou from Guangyang of Yan Kingdom arrived, and he saluted Liu Yu.

Liu Yu asked hurriedly.

"Have you found out clearly? The Black Mountain Army is attacking our Hejian?"

As early as this morning, he got the news that the Black Mountain Army was dispatched, and they dispatched [-] soldiers. The only remaining force can only be one person sweeping the snow in front of the door, don't let others suffer from it!

The whole Jizhou has fallen into a situation of fighting on its own!
"Prefect Liu..." Yan Rou reported: "According to current information, most likely the Black Mountain Army's target this time is Yecheng..."

"Yecheng?" Liu Yu was taken aback.

His eyes narrowed, and he began to think carefully, "Yecheng...then it's not Hejian, His Majesty's fields are saved, saved..."

Liu Yu felt emotional.

These 30 Montenegrin troops are hiding in the Taihang Mountains, dragging their families with them, and countless women, children, old and young are also hiding in it. How will they solve the food problem?

Don't have to go looting...

If it is looting, with so many people, how can looting a village be enough?You have to plunder the county seat... or if you are more ambitious, just looting a city and county, if you don't keep it intact... it will be enough for a year or so.

Liu Yuben was also worried that they wouldn't find these fertile fields in Hejian, right?

Now...well, Yecheng...Yecheng...

and many more.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's heart thumped.

Yecheng...

No!How could they choose to attack Yecheng, which is the strongest?

Their goal is not to plunder, but... to occupy, so why... expand to the entire Jizhou?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt terrified...

He murmured: "Yecheng...Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou. If there is a loss, the whole Jizhou will be in chaos... If the Black Mountain Army takes advantage of the situation to occupy other cities and counties, then...the harm will be no less than that of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

damn it…

It was not easy for the Hanting Northern Army to put down the Yellow Turban Army. Now... these Black Mountain Army are going to revive?
"Report immediately..." Yan Rou added, "Now Jizhou has no leader. If the Heishan army really captured Yecheng and we don't have any news here, then it would be the dereliction of duty of Governor Liu!"

Liu Yu sighed in his heart, "Since the Black Mountain Army came from the Mothie, they must have inherited the Mothie's plan. They want to disturb Jizhou again. Alas... How many people will die in this rebellion? How many corpses will be scattered all over the field? !"

Liu Yu had a heart of "benevolence" in his heart, "Quickly... quickly send a messenger to Luoyang City, please... ask General Huangfu to come quickly to put down the rebellion! Tell Your Majesty, if the Black Mountain Army grows bigger, Jizhou is in danger... Jizhou It's dangerous!"

"Also, tell Your Majesty...the bandit army is powerful, the bandit army is powerful, and now there is no one in Jizhou to coordinate. If you want to put down the rebellion...it must be General Huangfu and the Northern Army!"

...

...

Who would have thought that just after Huangfusong handed over his military power, such an urgent report asking His Majesty to send Huangfusong to lead the army to suppress the rebellion would reach Luoyang City.

Of course, the Han Ting Northern Army directly belonged to Xiyuan Xiaowei, and Xiyuan Xiaowei directly belonged to the emperor Liu Hong, and the emperor Liu Hong was the only one who could mobilize the Han Ting Bei Army and Huangfusong.

The urgent report was sent to Taiwei's mansion first, and Taiwei Qiaoxuan was discussing matters with Yilang Cai Yong...

But this sudden news caught both of them off guard...

Cai Yong's face twitched, "Then... let's play now, Jizhou is the largest city and county in the Central Plains and the North, with the largest number of household registrations, the largest number of acres of land, and the largest number of land taxes. If it falls into the hands of the Black Mountain Army, the Yellow Turban bandits will definitely resurface. !"

Qiao Xuan took a long breath, his heart felt inexplicably heavy, and with a long sigh of "Ah...", Qiao Xuan rushed to the palace with the urgent mail without saying a word.

At this time, in the Palace of Long Live Qianqiu, Emperor Liu Hong also had an urgent report, which was sent by Jian Shuo. Liu Hong frowned... Seeing Qiao Xuan coming, he naturally knew why Qiao Xuan came here?
"Did Qiao Qing also receive the urgent mail?"

"Yes!" Qiao Xuan sighed, "The one I received was played by Liu Yu, the prefect of Hejian County!"

Liu Hong's face was calm, and he was not angry because of the Black Mountain Army. He said calmly: "I remember that the Black Mountain Army hidden in the Taihang Mountains and the Baibo Army hidden in the Baibo Valley are the biggest remnants after the Yellow Turban Rebellion... It's ridiculous that in just a few days In just one month, these two bandits were able to gather tens of thousands of people, which was even more powerful than Zhang Jiao's rebellion in Julu. I'm not worried about their rebellion. I want to know why the moth thief was defeated, but they still don't give up, why are they unwilling to live a peaceful life!"

this…

Qiao Xuan opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Liu Hong saw Qiao Xuan's restraint, and said with emotion: "Is there something that Mr. Qiao dare not say?"

"In the old days, when I talked with Yulin Liulang, he told me...water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it. To say something disrespectful, your majesty is the boat, and the people are the water...The people rebelled, it means that the water is unwilling to carry the boat, Want to overturn the boat? But why do they want to do this? Guanzhu Liu mentioned this, in his opinion... It means clothing, food, shelter, transportation... Those who have clothes to wear, food to eat, places to live, and labor to work The place...now, it seems...hehe, even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, in fact...the people still haven't solved these fundamental problems, the water still doesn't want to carry the boat, it wants to overturn it!"

This is out of the way...

Liu Hong was filled with emotion, "Yeah, I don't understand. This big man has enough arable land, enough houses, enough clothes, and they can be divided... There will always be people who have nothing to eat, and people who can't wear clothes. Si'er, and Mo Zhixie, it's sad, I feel sorry for the Han court!"

Qiao Xuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

For him, such sentiments are discouraging, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold... The people can't eat, can't afford to wear clothes. That's the case, even if it is pushed to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, isn't it the same?

The only difference is that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was years of wars that made the people homeless and hungry.

In today's dynasty, two years of natural disasters and man-made disasters... made the people hungry.

To solve this problem...it's too difficult, the system of the big man has collapsed to the extreme...

Liu Hong not only smiled slightly, "When these rebellions subside, I really have to go to the people to see, from the perspective of a refugee, how miserable are they? on them?"

"I would like to accompany Your Majesty!" Qiao Xuan sighed.

Liu Hong exhaled a foul breath, "In any case, the top priority right now is to quell the rebellion. This urgent report was made a day ago. I'm afraid the current Black Mountain Army has surrounded Yecheng, right? How long can Yecheng last?" How about this… Lieutenant Qiao, draft an edict for me and let Shang Shutai issue it, or hand over the Han Ting Northern Army to General Huangfu, apart from him, I really have no one I can trust!"

"I obey the order!" Qiao Xuan smiled helplessly...

He walked to the gate of the Qianqiu Long Live Hall and gave some instructions to his civil servants, and the civil servants ordered him to do it immediately...

However, Qiao Xuan walked back to the Qianqiu Long Live Hall.

"Qiao Qing?" Liu Hong didn't realize that Qiao Xuan would come back... His tone was somewhat surprised.

Qiao Xuan cupped his hands, "I feel that I should accompany Your Majesty at this time."

"Haha..." Liu Hong laughed, but this smile had just surfaced, but in an instant...it froze, because...he thought of something ten times more terrifying than countering the rebellion.

That's right...

Yu'er... His Yu'er is still in Jizhou, his Yu'er is going to persuade the Black Mountain Army to surrender... What if the Black Mountain Army rebelled?What about...his Yu'er...the eldest son of the big man?

"Come on, pass on to Xun Yu... pass on to Xun Yu!" Suddenly, Emperor Liu Hong shouted.

He called Xun Yu because... Xun Yu knew Liu Yu's movements.

And Liu Hong's sudden words really scared everyone in the Qianqiu Long Live Hall!

"Here...here..."

The captain of Xiyuan outside the door agreed and hurried to make arrangements.

...

...

In the courtyard of Yulin Temple is a large and spacious table...

A group of Taoist priests are busy going back and forth to put study books, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoist scriptures, bows, swords, toys, coins, official edicts and many other useful things on the case.

Tomorrow Xun Yu will give a lecture here... It can be regarded as teaching the children of Taoist disciples in Yulin Temple, as long as boys and girls who meet the age can come to attend the class.

It stands to reason that today's Xun Yu should have prepared lessons.

I can't stand it...

Cao Cao came to look for Xun Yu with the "Nine Brewed Spring Wine" from Qiao Pei's hometown...

Returning triumphantly, the reunion of old friends is inevitable, drinking to one's heart's content, not returning drunk...

Cao Cao and Xun Yu pulled the drinking mat to the door of the bedroom, facing the peach blossoms blooming in the courtyard, a hundred birds contending, and a gorgeous spring scene.

"Meng De... I heard that in the battle of Quyang, you were heroic... you took the lead to break into the enemy's line. This bravery... is admirable, admirable!"

"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed after hearing Xun Yu's words, "These... routine operations are mediocre... mediocre... but the picture of the stirrup drawn by the third brother is absolutely amazing... stepping on the stirrup, bending the bow Arrows... like walking on flat ground, with this stirrup, let alone tens of thousands of moth thieves, even hundreds of thousands, why should I be afraid... Ha, why are you talking about this... Lai Wenruo, have a drink, this one Respect the third brother's stirrup!"

"Haha..." Xun Yu laughed. Just now Cao Cao said "what are you talking about?", but now he is talking about respecting the third brother's stirrup...

"Done!"

Drinking a cup full...Xun Yu wanted to ask Cao Cao about the details of his Northern Expedition.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao would be the first to speak, "I don't know where the third younger brother is now... I heard that he is going to Youzhou to conquer Wuhuan in the north, and he didn't wait for me for such a thing. He will be fined three bowls!"

"We haven't reached the point of the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan..." Xun Yu laughed and said, "According to Brother Liu's plan, the most urgent thing is to go to Taihang Mountain and persuade those black bandits to surrender!"

"The Black Mountain Bandit?" As soon as this remark came out... Cao Cao was stunned, "The Black Mountain Bandit that the third brother persuaded to surrender is the one with Zhang Niujiao, the remnant of the Moth Bandit?"

"Exactly..." Xun Yu was about to explain in detail...

But at this moment...

"Xun Shizhong, Captain Cao Qi... There is an urgent message from the temple master!"

A Taoist sent a letter to...

Hearing that it was a letter from Liu Yu, Cao Cao snatched it away and unfolded it quickly... His expression was a little worried, "Isn't it to persuade the Black Mountain bandits to surrender... What happened? I can listen to merchants today... There are rumors, The Black Mountain Army is going to attack Yecheng, and Jizhou is about to start fighting again..."

While speaking, Cao Cao unfolded the letterhead, and Xun Yu also came over.

When the two looked down, their expressions became weird because...they saw many words.

——The Black Mountain Army...30 people...together with the family...all of them...surrender...Yecheng is safe...don't panic!
Uh…

Xun Yu and Cao Cao were a little confused by these words. They didn't understand why Liu Yu sent such an urgent letter?

The two read it again at the same time...then...then fell silent again.

Brother Liu, this is... persuading the 30 families of the Black Mountain Army to surrender?

"Gudong"...

Realizing this, Xun Yu and Cao Cao subconsciously groaned, and swallowed at the same time as if duplicating.

"30 people? This... so many?" Cao Cao sighed...

"It's 30 including family members..." Xun Yu explained, "If family members are not counted, at most... [-]!"

"Isn't this more than twice the size of the Northern Expeditionary Army?" Cao Cao was stunned.

Only after joining the army and managing logistics, Cao Cao will understand how difficult it is to recruit soldiers and horses... Only after experiencing Huangfusong's "massacre", after experiencing bones exposed in the wild, and no chickens crowing for thousands of miles, Cao Cao knows that every commoner How much productivity can be contributed, and how many people need to cultivate Nuoda's fields!

——30 family members, [-] sergeants...

——This is a great wealth for a big man!

at this time.

"Xun Shizhong, Xun Shizhong... I guessed that you are here, hurry... Your Majesty summons! Your Majesty summons!"

The sharp voices of the little yellows came out one after another.
