Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 492 Taking Power
The original county seat of Dongyuan City was changed into the emperor's temporary palace, and Feng Yao moved out of it to guard the east gate, but this didn't matter to Feng Yao, and fortunately he had the foresight to move away all the women like Cai Wenji. Much less hassle.

Now the queen and concubine live in the backyard of the county government.

In addition to Feng Yao guarding the east gate, Yang Feng's army guarded the west gate, Han Xian's army guarded the north gate, and Lu Bu's army guarded the south gate.

At this time, Lu Bu's army strength was more than [-] Bingzhou iron cavalry. Since he was promoted to Hussar General, he regained power, and with Lu Bu's reputation in the Montenegro Army and Bingzhou, there was an endless stream of people who came here every day. By the time they arrived at Dongyuan City, the number of infantry had increased by nearly [-], and the number of scattered cavalry had increased by several hundred.

Feng Yao's troops were also increasing, but compared to Lu Bu, they were still a bit behind. There were more than [-] cavalry to vote.

However, to Feng Yao's surprise, because of Dai Ling's infantry stationed in the main village on the north bank of the Yellow River for a long time, and the propaganda of refugees such as Yang Bo, many people went to seek refuge, and most of these people happily went to Yuzhou , but a few people stayed in the main village and set up tents between the main village and the river bank.

Some people fished, while others grew vegetables, and after harvesting, they sold the proceeds to military camps to earn income.

Seeing this, Dai Ling simply asked some miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers to use their free time to transport rocks, cut down trees, and strengthen the walls of the village to further improve their defense capabilities. You can really build a small town.

Taiwei Yang Biao and Zhi Jinwu Fuwan guarded the emperor in the city, and the power of the court temporarily formed a pairwise balance between Han Siam Yang Feng and Feng Yao Lu Bu.

Feng Yao saw that the goal of the first step had been initially formed, and the second step was extremely critical. If it was done well, the power could be further expanded. Therefore, after the situation was basically stable, he wrote a letter to Xu Shu, asking Xu Shu to come to the east for a while. Yuancheng came to discuss.

After Xu Shu received the letter, he rushed over immediately.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted!" Xu Shu immediately congratulated Feng Yao when he saw Feng Yao.

"Yuan Zhi, talk about your opinion!" Feng Yao said happily.

Xu Shu nodded. Before he came, he had carefully analyzed the situation in Sili Prefecture, so he didn't hesitate, and immediately suggested: "My lord, please do two things immediately. The first thing is to expose Liu Bei's collusion." Liu Bao's crimes, and ordered Cao Cao to lead the army to attack Liu Bei! The second thing is to attack Zhang Ji!"

Feng Yao nodded and said, "Yuanzhi, the first thing I understand is that Liu Bei colluded with Liu Bao to massacre the Han people. Although he didn't do it directly, he couldn't escape the guilt. Cao Cao is eager to make contributions. As long as we set Liu Bei up Cao Cao has a reason to attack Liu Bei! But attacking Zhang Ji at this time, will it affect our troops deployed in Luoyang?"

"My lord does not need to use force to attack Zhang Ji!" Xu Shu said.

"..." Feng Yao took a deep breath, knowing that Xu Shu must have a trick, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"My lord, Zhang Ji and Li Jue and Guo Si jointly attacked the emperor and killed countless officials. Li Jue and Guo Si have been designated as rebels, but the emperor's attitude towards Zhang Ji has always been vague. It seems that he wants to use Zhang Ji to contain Bai Bo. The intention of the army and the lord must have been secretly ordered by the head of the country, Fu Wan. If we do not strike while the iron is hot and attack Zhang Ji at this time, I am afraid that after Zhang Ji calms down, he will become another big enemy of ours! " Xu Shu said.

"Ah! So that's the case. I thought the emperor wanted to use this to divide the Xiliang army and defeat them one by one. First destroy Li Jue and Guo Si who are farther away, and then Zhang Ji. If you say that, we really can't be careless. , but if we don't need to send troops, where will the troops to attack Zhang Ji come from?" Feng Yao said.

Hongnong County, where Zhang Ji stationed troops, bordered Chang'an in the west, Luoyang in the east, faced Hedong County across the Yellow River in the north, and was close to Nanyang County in Jingzhou in the south.

The junction between Hongnong County and Chang'an is Huayin County, where Duan Yan stationed troops. Duan Yan is currently an army loyal to the imperial court, but he is currently at war with Li Jue and Guo Si in Chang'an, and he is at a disadvantage. It is impossible to divide the troops to attack Zhang Ji again!
And Nanyang County in the south is Liu Biao's territory. Will Liu Biao send troops to attack Zhang Ji?This is obviously impossible!

Yang Xiu and Yang Zhong in Luoyang are the foundation for Yang Biao to rely on, and it is impossible for Yang Biao, who is in charge of the military power in the court, to lose his own strength because of this.

Is it necessary to send the Baibo army Li Le, Hu Cai, etc.?

"Rely on the strength of the county magistrates of Hongnong County! Now my lord is also the captain of Sili. As long as an order is issued in the name of the captain of Sili, the county magistrates of all the counties in Hongnong will rise up, but a single county is It is impossible to fight against Zhang Ji, and another official must be sent to supervise and contact the county magistrates on behalf of the Lord!" Xu Shu said.

When Feng Yao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a suitable candidate, and said, "I think Wei Boru is suitable for this position!"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "My lord is wise. With Wei Boru's reputation, he will soon be recognized by the magistrates of all counties after he arrives in Hongnong County. Relying on his years of management experience, he is enough to govern Hongnong well. There is a force in Nongjun against Zhang Ji! Only half a year at most, Zhang Ji will be defeated!"

Feng Yao was overjoyed, and after a detailed discussion with Xu Shu, Xu Shu rushed back to Gong County overnight.

Morning the next day.

Emperor Liu Xie said: "Thanks to the hard work of all the ministers, I was able to come to Dongyuan City safely, and it was only across the river from Luoyang. However, Dongyuan City has gone through wars and the people are scarce. My harem is extremely short of maids. Ladies and gentlemen What's your suggestion, Aiqing?"

Among the hundred officials, all white-bearded civil servants came out and reported: "Your Majesty, most of the palace maids and a large number of servants were killed by the Xiliang army, but many were just robbed and imprisoned in Hongnong County. Please Your Majesty pardons Zhang Ji's crimes and orders him to return to the living maids and servants!"

Feng Yao saw that this old man was the eunuch Han Rong, from Yingchuan, one of the four great families of Yingchuan.

"It seems that the Han family has to be beaten up next. The four major families of Yingchuan, the Chen and Xun families have already declined. I thought the Han family would keep a low profile, but I didn't expect to oppose me at this critical moment! !" A cold light flashed in Feng Yao's eyes, and there was already a killing intent, but no one noticed the change in Feng Yao's eyes, but looked at the emperor.

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately responded without waiting for others to speak: "Okay!! Han Aiqing, I order you to go to Hongnong and negotiate with Zhang Ji!"

"Obey!" Han Rong immediately knelt down and obeyed.

"This...?" Chariot General Yang Feng obviously did not expect such a thing to happen, but since the matter is a foregone conclusion, Yang Feng can't say anything more!
Han Xian glanced at Feng Yao at this moment, and gave Feng Yao a wink.

Feng Yao understood, and was just about to implement the next strategy, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the people in Hongnong County are currently displaced, and the local officials are doing their own thing. It's time to take care of it. As the captain of Sili, I This matter is unshirkable, and now I recommend Wei Boru, the representative minister, to go to Hongnong, govern the township and counties, and revive the power of the court!"
