Lord Yuan

Chapter 143
Soon, the news spread quickly that Yuan Shao, the governor of Liaodong, attacked the Xianbei tribe at night.

Among them are also the contributions of those Han people who were sent home.

Every time they talk after dinner, these surviving Han people will call their relatives and friends after sunset to tell them what happened at that time.

So much so that the news spread far faster than anyone imagined.

Even in Jizhou, which is far away in the Youzhou Administrative Office, when Zhu Gui was reviewing the government affairs of the day, his subordinates submitted a memorial.

Although Zhu Gui was a little curious, how could there be a sudden war report in this border fortress where there had been no fighting for a long time.

When he opened the battle report, he was shocked and speechless even though he had been familiar with officialdom for a long time.

The battle report records in detail that Liaodong Changshi took advantage of the darkness of night and marched lightly with more than ten cavalry to the Xianbei tribe outside the Great Wall. Although they were in deep danger, they still resolutely rescued hundreds of plundered Han people, and burned everything in front of them. The hundreds of Xianbei tribes made it difficult for them to recover.

With such military exploits, in the current situation where the enemy is clearly strong and we are weak, Chief Shi Yuan Shao's raid instantly made the entire Youzhou frontier cheer and jump for joy.

The stubborn stone that had accumulated in the hearts of the frontier soldiers disappeared with this great victory.

The long history of this new appointment is being sung everywhere. Perhaps it is because since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the number of times that we have been able to go far beyond the Great Wall to fight against foreigners is very rare. Today, we are not as tough on foreigners as we were during the period of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty. , coupled with the social and economic prosperity at that time, it was possible to support many strong soldiers and generals. All the frontier regiments were skilled in bows and horses, so that they could attack the Huns from a distance.

It needs to be led by strong soldiers and generals, and there will be a steady flow of food and salary supplies. The soldiers will have high fighting spirit and will not be afraid when facing the Huns.

Indispensable.

"This book was originally written by the Yuan family, a great scholar of Confucian classics, but now it has become such a fierce general." Zhu Gui sighed with a smile.

He is well aware of the difficulty of action here.

The subordinates on the side reminded: "This is the battle report specially sent by Shamu, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. It seems that he wants to use it to get some rewards. I wonder what the governor's plan is?"

Although the official also roughly understood what was going on, as an outsider, he obviously had a further perspective on all aspects.

Nowadays, there has been no large-scale war in the border fortress for many years, but now Yuan Shao, the chief minister, has boldly chosen to attack Xianbei from afar. Although he has achieved great results, it will eventually lead to a lot of hatred between the two tribes.

What's more, Tan Shihuai has always been a recalcitrant master, and now he has integrated the power of the entire Xianbei. If he sends his troops south in a large scale, how can he resist with the help of Youzhou.

As the governor of Youzhou, Zhu Gui naturally knew this very well, but he straightened his waist and the look in his eyes was full of determination.

"Such military achievements are naturally rewarded, and they are also a great encouragement to those soldiers on the frontier. The Xianbei Wuhuan is not a man of steel, but he goes far beyond the fortress to confront the enemy outside the fortress. We, the Han army, have nothing to fear."

The official looked startled. The previous governor's attitude towards foreigners was not like this. He vaguely remembered that when Li Ying, the general of Du Liao, was here, his own governor showed such a posture. He carefully observed his words and expressions, but hesitated to speak.

"But the Xianbei people have always been vengeful, and they have suffered today's disaster. I'm afraid that Tan Shihuai will not tolerate it, and will definitely endanger the frontier and bring disaster to the Han territory. The Li Shu people in Youzhou will be harassed by war again. If the governor continues to reward him lavishly, Wouldn't that long history make Xianbei even more jealous, and the gains outweigh the losses?"

Zhu Gui's originally good mood was suddenly dampened by the official's words, and his expression became gloomy.

"If Tan Shihuai hadn't sent his troops south, our people in Youzhou would not have suffered disaster? Didn't you see that it was the tribe of hundreds of people who dared to plunder hundreds of people in Liaodong? It was just a lucky chance that Chang Shi succeeded. We just rescued these people, but if you hadn't come here in person, how would you know how many of my Youzhou people Xianbei had plundered?"

"Although the Xianbei people are said to be bloodthirsty and fight bravely, our Han army has the support of the frontier fortress walls, and with the feat of Chang Shi now, the morale is high. Not to mention that the Xianbei people don't come, but what if they come? , there will be no return for sure!"

Perhaps it was due to the fact that he had been suppressed by the Xianbei people for all these years, but now the situation was reversed, and Zhu Gui's momentum became particularly high.

The official was startled, and then he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only put away all the thoughts in his mind cautiously.

Zhu Gui waved his hand.

"Take half of the money from the treasury and send it to the frontier fortress, and half of it will be given to the country where the long history of Liaodong is located." Zhu Gui seemed to feel that it was not enough, and immediately spoke again: "It is the Liaodong leader. The land's tax revenue should not be sent to this Jizhou land, but can be freely disposed of to enrich the army in case of emergencies."

The subordinates understood at this time that their governor had made up his mind to support the war with the foreigners. There had been no war in the treasury in recent years, and the people were rich and abundant, so that he had a lot of money, but now he directly chose to spend half of the huge sum. Not to mention that it can arm the more than [-] soldiers on the frontier from top to bottom, but it is enough to support the war without any worries for more than half a year.

Coupled with the tax revenue from Liaodong, the local vassal states can handle it on their own. This is the first time in the entire Youzhou.

The subordinates did not dare to say anything and immediately passed on all these orders.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, he understood that the appearance of Yuan Shao instantly caused a huge change in the current situation against the foreign races.

And in the land of Zhuojun in Youzhou.

Zhuo County, Lousang Village.

Here is Empress Jing of Zhongshan, a relative of the Han emperor.

A mulberry tree with a height of more than five feet, with lush branches and leaves, staggered and split branches.

What is particularly eye-catching is the top of the mulberry tree, where the branches are connected like a canopy. From a distance, it looks like an emperor's canopy.A [-]-year-old child gathered several other children of the same age to play under the mulberry tree, feeling very uncomfortable.

The sun rose in the east, and dazzling lights shone in. One of the children stood under the canopy of mulberry trees, and the shadow looked like the graceful canopy rising above his head when the emperor was attending.

"Bei'er really looks like an emperor." Someone grinned and laughed loudly.

The child known as Bei looked up at the top of his head, with a look of arrogance in his eyes. He pointed at the canopy and said, "When I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely ride in such a canopy car."

The children cheered as if they were meeting the new emperor.

The movement here instantly attracted the attention of Liu Yan, who lived next to the mulberry tree. He walked out and saw his nephew Liu Bei talking nonsense under the mulberry tree. He immediately shouted with a gloomy face: "Bei'er, don't talk nonsense, are you going to make me Is the Liu family in Zhuo County completely exterminated?"

This uncle has always been strict and harsh, and Liu Bei was a little frightened, but due to his own character, he still chose to stay where he was, raising his eyebrows and glaring, without any intention.

Seeing that Liu Bei couldn't talk, Liu Jianxu planned to go to his mother to talk to him. Faced with such a rebellious act, as a member of the Liu clan, no matter who he is, he must remind or even put an end to such acts. Thoughts of ideas.

Seeing that the uncle was looking for his mother, Liu Bei ran away quickly and returned to the house before him, with the door closed.

Even though his mother was full of doubts, Liu Jian was knocking on the door, but Liu Bei still refused to open the door.

After his uncle Liu Ju left, Liu Bei dared to open the room, stuck his head out and looked around, but found no trace, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After his mother asked, Liu Bei continued to walk out of the room, still staying under the mulberry tree.

But he said that Liu Deran, a member of the same clan, was also among the group of children. When he returned home and faced the questioning of his father Liu Yuanqi, he confided everything that had just happened.

Unexpectedly, his father Liu Yuanqi's face was tense. It was not until a long time ago that he smiled in relief: "Bei'er has such great ambitions, which are far from ordinary people. Deran should get closer to him."

Liu Deran is one or two years older than Liu Bei, but usually Liu Bei is the king of children. Many children in the county are attached to him and listen to his words, and he is no exception.

"My father is not quite the same as that uncle. His words to scold Bei are the crime of destroying the family."

Liu Yuanqi smiled and shook his head, not caring about it.

Then he seemed to have remembered something, and he took Liu Deran's sign language and said seriously: "Then Bei'er will be like a dragon in the future. If you have more contact with him, there will be no harm."

"Now there is the Liaodong Changshi who boldly attacked the Xianbei tribe outside the Great Wall, beheaded dozens of people, and achieved great results. He also saved hundreds of Han people. Now is the time when his reputation is rising. If you can achieve such a situation in the future, Being a father is a life worth living."

Liu Yuanqi mentioned the admiration of the long history of Liaodong, especially Liu Bei's remarks about the emperor. Even Liu Deran, who knew his father's character, could not help but feel a little strange.

"Is this great? How does it compare with Bei'er?"

Liu Yuanqi smiled and explained the stakes involved.

He told Liu Deran everything he knew.

That battle report had already been posted by Youzhou Governor Zhu Gui to announce the entire territory of Youzhou. It was not only to build momentum for Yuan Shao, but also to make the soldiers of the entire Youzhou frontier fortress work together and share the same hatred of the enemy, so that they could be effective in the face of foreign invasion. Blade the enemy.

Speaking of the story, a strong man under the command of Yuan Shao, a long history officer, was galloping. When he raised his sword and fell, a Xianbei man fell down.

Liu Deran was fascinated by what he heard, imagining that he could become like a person here and gallop outside the Great Wall.

However, Liu Yuanqi shattered his fantasy with a smile.

"Our Han army fought against Xianbei. Previously, in order to kill one Xianbei, it often required the lives of two or three Han soldiers to be effective."

"Now that the strong general named Yan Liang is here, he can make Xianbei frightened and dare not go south to invade our Han territory at will."

Liu Deran looked shocked. He had never thought about this.

The abominable Xianbei people's combat power has reached such a level that they can replace one of them with one against three.

How did Yan Liang achieve the feat of killing more than a dozen Xianbei people in an instant with his own strength?

Liu Deran quickly told Liu Bei the news.

The two of them tell each other everything they know, and they choose to communicate with each other if they have any information.

Liu Bei was also shocked.

"If I can gain such courage to fight to the death in the future, there will be no doubt in the world!"
