Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45 Come and go in a hurry
At the end of the first year of Zhongping, Tao Qian was very busy. He often haunted the mansions of important ministers, and often brought back some news: the Yellow Turban Army on the southern front was frustrated, their morale was low, and they begged for surrender from the Han army. It will cause the people to form the idea of ​​being a thief for profit and begging for surrender without profit, so they continued to lead troops to attack, smashing Zhao Hong and other Yellow Turbans in one fell swoop, beheading more than [-] Yellow Turbans; on the northern line, Huangfusong led an army to attack the Yellow Turbans in October In the military camp, Zhang Liang died among the rebellious army, Zhang Jiao was dug out from the grave, dissected the coffin and slaughtered the corpse, Zhang Bao led the remnants and fled to Quyang, a month later Huangfu Song chased after the victory and surrounded Zhang Bao and the remnants.

The death of the three Zhang brothers and the demise of the main leader announced that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was basically put down. However, the Yellow Turban Army was not destroyed. In the meantime, small forces were formed, which quietly grew with the accumulation of refugees.The emperor Liu Hong didn't care about these things, the bandit leader wiped out the dragon heart and joy, and rewarded the ministers with meritorious service. Huangfusong was named Jizhou Mu for his military achievements, and the governor of Jizhou was in charge of the military and political power; Beijing was relieved of his military power and appointed Doctor Guanglu.

At the beginning of the second year of Zhongping, the old Taiwei Yang Ci died of illness. Liu Hong issued an order for his son Yang Biao to succeed him. Yang Biao resigned and guarded Yang Ci's coffin and returned to Hongnong to observe filial piety. It's really too smart, and the smart one is a bit different.Zhu Jun's mother died of illness, and she also resigned and returned to her hometown to observe her filial piety.Zhou Cang knew that this was the so-called Ding You. His parents died early, so he didn't have any worries about it.This system is indeed interesting, and it intensified in the feudal dynasty.

There was no major event in Beijing, so Zhou Cang asked Tao Qian for leave to return to Pengcheng. Two years had passed, he was 22 years old, and it was time to go back and marry Ganmei.He thinks that the things Liu Li sent are unlucky, and it's okay to sell them for money or fool people, but it's not a trifling matter for life-long events.Anyway, now that I have money, I will ask me to take me to wander around the city on Friday and Saturday to pick out the bride price. Daluoyang is the best, and there is no shortage of things.When Zhou Cang mentioned to Tao Qian that he was going back to Pengcheng to get married, Tao Qian said that he hadn't seen Duke Gan for a long time, and now that the world is at peace, he was going to ask for leave to go back to Pengcheng to visit his relatives and get married to Zhou Cang.

As the saying goes, one wave is not settled, another wave rises again, and a few months later, when Zhou Cang was full of longing and dreaming of marrying a wife, another war broke out in the northwest border.In March of the second year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang and Hu tribes, entangled the leaders of various tribes and led the Qiang and Hu to invade Sanfu, directly threatening Chang'an and the Western Han Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum.Emperor Liu Hong now believed that Huangfusong was capable of fighting, so Jizhou Mu Huangfusong changed his title to General Zuocheqi and led the army to crusade.

Tao Qian went back to the mansion to find Zhou Cang, told the situation in the court, and then said: "The emperor has issued an edict to worship me as the captain of Yangwu and go out with General Huangfu." Zhou Cang couldn't help being stunned, why did the emperor want to Tao Qian accompanied him, could it be said that Huangfusong had made too much contribution, which had aroused the vigilance of some people and wanted to contain him?Or are you planning to reuse Tao Qian, so you need to give him some credit?Judging from his face, Tao Qian was not unhappy, it seemed that he knew it already.Zhou Cang has a deeper understanding of unspoken rules.

"I wanted to go back to Pengcheng, but it seems impossible. Weiguo and I will go to Xiliang together. It will take at least a year or at most two years, and we will come back. At Gan Gong's place, I asked the potter and pottery Brother Ying will take a trip, and they will stay in Xiaopei without going to Xiliang with me. You go back and make preparations, and we will set off together after General Huangfu enters Beijing."

"Yes." Zhou Cang chewed on Tao Qian's words again. Tao Qian probably planned to keep his two sons in Pengcheng long ago. He told himself that he wanted to go back to Pengcheng together. Could it be that he wanted to send his son back, that is to say After the trip to Xiliang, Tao Qian's goal was Xuzhou. After turning around, history returned to the original track.The way to be an official must be learned from Tao Qian, one step at a time, one step at a time, and it is one's own luck to be beside Tao Qian.

"Who will escort those two sons?"

"You sent ten guards for Gan Chi to lead. The prefectures and counties around the road have already said hello to assist the guards. After arriving in Pengcheng, just ask Gan Chi to buy a small mansion." Tao Qian said.

Such a great energy, this energy should not belong to Tao Qian.Zhou Cang guessed that it should be Yuan Shu's help.Zhou Cang hesitated and asked, "What do you think of the war in Xiliang, sir?"

Tao Qian said: "The Qiang and Hu barbarians are greedy and plundering. They only want to plunder property, food, grass and people. Even if they capture the city, it will not last long. As long as they are driven out of Sanfu and protect the imperial tombs of the past dynasties, the goal will be achieved. Then find a way to calm down slowly. Don’t think about winning the first battle. You have to do your homework when you arrive in Xiliang. As for how to face the battle, General Huangfu will plan it. I don’t think the battle will go to Liangzhou, but more in Yongzhou .”

"Your Excellency, thank you for your guidance." Zhou Cang said, thinking to himself that Tao Qian really has a military vision. good arrangement.

"Although this trip to the west is not dangerous, we must pay attention to safety. You can recruit some more guards in Gyeonggi, let's set at 200 people, hurry up and practice."

Zhou Cang backed down after agreeing.He came and went in a hurry, and he had to leave after staying in the capital for less than a year. Zhou Cang had many things to arrange.

First of all, he found Ganchi and told him that he would take ten guards to escort the potter and Tao Ying back to Pengcheng, and told Gangong that he would go out with Tao Qian and could not go back to marry Ganmei for the time being. Then meet in Xiliang.

He sent Wednesday to Woniugang to tell Pei Yuanshao that he organized a large number of refugees to gradually migrate to Dabie Mountain and Mengshan Mountain. Woniugang will only be used as a turnover station for liaison in the future. Stay in Woniugang to assist Pei Yuanshao.

He called them again on Friday and Saturday, and gave them a sum of money to buy a small house in Luoyang. They stopped doing swindling and swindling. They usually inquired about various news and told them about Liu Li and Zhang Jiong. The method of communication is to contact each other if there is something to do, and to tell the two to work hard and not to relax in training.Then, see if you can get in touch with the seventh and eighth brothers, so that the brothers can get together.

In the end he found Zhang Jai and Dian Wei and told them that they were going to Xiliang. Hearing that it was an expedition, the two were extremely excited and eager to try. Take good care of Huang Feidian on the road, it will be of great use in the future.

After sending everyone away, Huangfusong came from Jizhou not long after. He didn't go to Beijing, so he sent someone to inform Tao Qian to assemble in Chang'an, so Zhou Cang followed Tao Qian on the road to the west.
