The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 249 Chapter 248
248 King Wuhuan
Li Jue and Guo Si were punished, and Duan Wei was punished for rebellion. The trees fell and the monkeys scattered. Guanzhong was no longer able to compete with Zhang Yan's army. After the battle, it was already dilapidated. There used to be 3000 households in Guanzhong, but now there are only more than [-] households left, and most of them are scattered among the mountains, and the cities are devastated.

Yuan Huan and Kan Ze were the staff officers sent by Zhang Yan, and they also had the role of supervising the army. They planned to write a letter on the Guanzhong matter. The merits and demerits of Mi Fang, Xu Ding and others were all written in this letter. The letter was then sealed with wax and handed over to Jin Yiwei, who secretly took it to Pengcheng.

Yuan Huan and Kan Ze took out a secret letter from Zhang Yan, showed it to Mi Fang and Xu Ding, and started formally supervising the army. , to make a decision.

The system of supervising the army was not created by Zhang Yan, and the task entrusted to Yuan Huan and Kan Ze this time, the post of supervising the army, can be activated or not, everything depends on the situation.

One of the two is the long history of Taiwei's mansion, and the other is Dong Caoyu, who can be said to be Zhang Yan's confidantes.They clearly remembered that before this expedition, Zhang Yan gave them thousands of instructions, and gave them a secret letter, informing them that if Mi Fang could not make a decision on major military affairs, Yuan Huan and Kan Ze would reveal the secret. According to the letter, the implementation of the supervision of the army, Mi Fang is still appointed as the chief general, but the command of the army is handed over to the general Xu Ding.

After all, Mi Fang is Zhang Yan's brother-in-law, so Zhang Yan has saved enough face for Mi Fang, and as for the fluctuation of the command power of the army, only Yuan Huan, Kan Ze, Mi Fang, and Xu Ding know about it, and outsiders can't know it at all.

Originally, Yuan Huan and Kan Ze did not intend to show this secret letter, but this time Mi Fang was tied up by Duan Yan, if not for the well-trained entire army and the success of the military system reform, I am afraid that the entire army will inevitably fall into a trap. A state of leaderless dragons.

In order to prevent Mi Fang from making mistakes again, Yuan Huan and Kan Ze showed Zhang Yan's handwriting on the night they rescued Mi Fang, and began to supervise the army, temporarily handing over the command of the army to Xu Ding.

In this way, Mi Fang was emptied out. No matter how unhappy he was, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he made a mistake. At that time, Mi Fang didn't listen to Yuan Huan and Kan Ze's earnest persuasion, which caused this situation. fight.

Although the army suffered few casualties and was very elite, it was more than enough for Duan Yan, but Mi Fang couldn't focus on the overall situation and didn't consider things comprehensively, which disappointed Yuan Huan and Kan Ze very much.

After experiencing this incident, Mi Fang no longer had the same air as before, he looked like a defeated rooster, and the news that he was kidnapped by Duan Yan had already spread in the army, which made him lose all face.

With no prestige, Mi Fang was not in the mood to command any troops, and he knew in his heart that what awaited him would be a series of punishments.

Afterwards, Yuan Huan and Kan Ze asked Xu Ding to send a thousand troops to occupy Chencang, and firmly controlled the main road leading to Liangzhou and Yizhou to avoid any accidents.

The rest of the people went to station outside Chang'an City. The majestic and majestic Chang'an City in the past had already lost its former splendor after experiencing so many wars. What was displayed in front of everyone was a sign of decay. The entire Chang'an City had a radius of ten miles. Inside, apart from these troops of Zhang Yan, there was no one to be found.

The army waited quietly here, and all the captives were reorganized, and the strong and strong men were selected to be incorporated into the army, and the rest were all released, so that they could return to their hometowns and devote themselves to farming.

Half a month later, Jin Yiwei arrived in Chang'an with Zhang Yan's order, and gave Zhang Yan's handwriting to everyone for review.

Zhang Yan wrote in his letter that Xu Ding was granted the title of General of Zhonglang, and he led the guards of his troops to stay in Chang'an. He changed You Fufeng to Fufeng County, Zuo Fengyi to Fengyi County, Jingzhaoyin to Jingzhao County Together with Hedong County and Hongnong County, a total of five counties form a new state called Yongzhou.

It is mentioned in the letter that Zhang Yan had appointed Guanglu Xun Zhongyou as the governor of Yongzhou, Zhang Ji, the commander of Chefu, as the prefect of Fengyi County, Du Ji, the left supervisor of Tingwei, as the prefect of Jingzhao County, and Fu Jie ordered Jia Kui as the governor of Hedong. The prefect, Taiwei Chief Shi Yuan Huan was the prefect of Fufeng, and the East of Taiwei's Mansion, Cao Yu Kanze, was the prefect of Hongnong.

The letters of appointment were issued in the form of imperial edicts. Among the five prefects appointed by Zhang Yan, Zhang Ji, Du Ji, and Jia Kui were from Fengyi County, Jingzhao County, and Hedong County respectively. Fame, the appointment of the prefect this time also took into account the connections of the three in the local area.As for Yuan Huan and Kan Ze, it was Zhang Yan who wanted to let them out for exercise.

But Xu Ding led his army to station in Chang'an area, and when Zhong Yao went to Chang'an, he assisted Zhong Yao in governing Guanzhong.

Guanzhong is a large piece of fertile land. Zhang Yan was very optimistic about this place, and worried that Xu Ding would not have enough troops, so he transferred the strength of another division under his command to Guanzhong, and officially appointed Niu Jin as General Xiaoqi to serve as the bodyguard In this way, Zhang Yan's bodyguard army was reduced by one army, and the army led by Niu Jin was formally formed as the No.11 army.

On the issue of captives, Zhang Yan asked him to select strong men to supplement what was lacking in the army, and the rest were all militiamen on the spot, and Zhong Yao was asked to go to Yongzhou to preside over the farming.

Today, Zhang Yan's sphere of influence is expanding step by step. The territory has doubled in one year, but the food supply cannot be that much. As the saying goes, the food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. It also cannot be changed.

In the first ten days of November, under the protection of Niu Jin, Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an and joined forces with the troops led by Xu Ding. Zhong Yao also officially took over the entire Yongzhou and began to play his role in local government affairs.

At the end of December, because of Zhang Yan's great achievements this year, the emperor not only quelled the Yuan Shu rebellion in Huainan, but also killed Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Yan and others, and took control of Guanzhong. , taking next year as the first year of Jian'an, calculated according to the AD, it is AD 190.

It's another new year, and the first day of the new year is particularly special, because Zhang Yan's wife, Mi Zhen, gave birth to a baby boy for Zhang Yan on this day.

This day was the first day when the emperor Liu Xie changed Yuan Jian'an. It happened that Zhang Yan also had a baby boy on this day, and it was the first day of the Lunar New Year. The joy was added to the joy, so Zhang Yan held a big banquet in the mansion, and he was very happy. .

As long as all the civil and military officials in Pengcheng came to congratulate, even Liu Xie himself came from the palace to congratulate Liu Gong to show the honor and favor of Liugong Zhang Yan.

This day was not only the happiest day for Zhang Yan, but also the happiest day for Yuan Shao. He drove [-] soldiers, besieged Yijing for three months, and finally broke through Yijing. Gongsun Zan killed his wife and son in Yijing, and finally burned himself to death. , As the so-called defeat is like a mountain falling, trees falling and monkeys scattered, most of the generals under Gongsun Zan led his men to surrender to Yuan Shao, and there were also loyal men like Guan Jing who would rather die than compromise under Yuan Shao's tent.

In addition, there is another person who is the most unusual. This person neither surrenders nor thinks about it. Instead, he rides a white horse with his super high martial arts skills. Flee all the way north.

This person is none other than Gongsun Zan's number one brave general, surnamed Zhao Mingyun, surnamed Zilong, a man of Changshan Zhending.

Yuan Shao learned that Zhao Yun had escaped from the siege and fled to the north, so he offered a huge reward to buy Zhao Yun. Although he had a lot of talents, he also liked Zhao Yun very much, and wanted Zhao Yun to work under his tent and contribute to himself.

Gongsun Zan lost power, and Youzhou was then annexed by Yuan Shao. Yuan Jun drove straight in without any resistance, and Liu Yu's former subordinate Xian Yufu and others, who had their revenge, also transferred to Yuan Shao's account. The overlord, the power is at its peak.

……

It has been some time since Li Cai was sent to Wuhuan as an envoy. He first arrived in the west of Liaoning. In Yangle City occupied by the Wuhuan people, he first visited Tadun, the leader of Wuhuan.

Ta Dun is not only the leader of the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning, but also the leader of the entire Wuhuan tribe. He met Li Cai last year, and even made a big deal with Li Cai at one time. He exchanged [-] war horses for what he lacked. salt and sharp weapons.

During this year, Tadun used these sharp weapons to successively conquer the Wuhuan people who did not obey him in the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu, and beat the crap out of those people.

This time he was practicing riding and archery on the school grounds in the city, braving the wind and snow, and saw the galloping horses, with a strong physique, full of bow strings, and took out a bow and arrow. With a sound of "嗖", the arrow was shot out, the arrow was as fast as lightning, and the prey that was running around was shot through the throat by an arrow, and fell directly to the ground, blood staining the surrounding white snow red.

"Your Majesty is good at archery!" Suddenly, a voice came.

Ta Dun followed the sound and saw Li Cai standing in the snow, looking at him with a smile on his face, his hands clapping constantly.

"Hahaha... so it's Mr. Li who's here, what a rare visitor." Tadun recognized this fat Central Plains man at a glance, he reined in the horse, jumped off the horse's back, and went straight to Li Cai's house In front of him, he laughed and said, "Mr. Li is here, he is the king's distinguished guest. It's cold here, let's talk in the palace."

Li Cai nodded and followed Ta Dun to the palace.

This palace was rebuilt by Tadun this summer. Since he made a deal with Li Cai last year, all the Wuhuan people under his command have been equipped with sharp weapons. Lee, achieved victory after victory.At the same time, Ta Dun made a lot of money by selling refined salt, all thanks to Li Cai, a native of the Central Plains.

It's a pity that after Li Cai went back, he never came again, and Tadun added [-] cavalry this year, and was short of weapons at hand. He was eagerly looking forward to Li Cai's arrival, and prayed to the gods every day.

And the gods seemed to have heard Ta Dun's prayer, and let Li Cai appear in front of Ta Dun again.

Ta Dun said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, you have been away for so long, I thought you would never come again, if you don't come again, I am really going to Xuzhou to look for you."

Li Cai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am here. This time, I want to do some business with you. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested?"
