Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 184 The world is in chaos
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was heavy snow.

But in the land of Youzhou, it was very hot. Fan Yang opened the Yanjing Academy. After the news spread, the gentry from all over the country sent their disciples to study, and they spared no expense to hope to be able to worship under Zheng Xuan and the other three.

Zhuoxian County is busy with military training, the school grounds are full of drums all day long, the sound of shouting and killing is loud, and billowing smoke and dust fill the sky above the barracks. Every time the people see this scene, they feel very at ease in their hearts, especially those who migrated. The only sons are eager to join the army, and those who have daughters also give priority to marrying soldiers.

Dukangting's workshop is even more busy day and night. Although Fan Yang's winery and furniture factory have been opened, it is still the busiest here. The latest products are developed here, constantly shocking the world's attention.

Of course, the secret weapons department has never been announced to the outside world. All newly made weapons are hidden in the cellar. Each one has a mold and style. Once the military needs it, it can be put into production immediately.

During this period of time, Liu He is most concerned about the coal mines and iron mines in Youbeiping. These are the sharp weapons for future development. With coal, ironmaking technology will be improved again. Although Liu He does not know ironmaking, he also knows that he needs to join Carbon and other things can be used to make steel, which gave the craftsmen some ideas and let them keep trying to explore.

There are many coal mines in Hebei. Except for Youbeiping, which is used as a military base, the coal in other places is mainly sold to the common people, which is also a major source of income.

Liu He's performance during this period of time has completely won Liu Yu's trust. He is now busy managing the people's livelihood everywhere. As long as Liu He does not rebel, he will not interfere too much no matter what he does, educate the people, improve salt and iron, etc. Complicated things.

For the development of Youzhou, Liu Yu is also racking his brains, but he is not thinking about making money like Liu He, but trying to increase fiscal revenue. In the new year, Shanggu Mutual Market will also collect taxes, and officials need to be appointed to manage them. They were also very busy, and the father and son each settled down to their own affairs.

In the third year of Zhongping, in the second month of spring, Jiangxia Zhao Ci rebelled and killed Jiangxia prefect Qin Jie. The thieves from all over the south of Jingzhou responded.

At this time, the Xiliang army that was attacking and occupying Chencang had not yet settled down. Zhang Wen recruited troops from the interior and ordered the Southern Xiongnu in Bingzhou to lead the cavalry to fight against the Qiang cavalry.

Liu Yu was confused when he saw the rebellion in Xiliang. He was about to report to the emperor and sent Liu He to lead troops to support them.

In the past six months of Zhuo County's military training, Liu Yu has seen it. Let Liu He send troops, not only to protect the Mausoleum of Chang'an Emperor to serve the country, but also to make meritorious service and honor the glory of the ancestors.

As soon as the envoy arrived in Fanyang, an urgent report came from the frontier fortress. Helian, the leader of the western Xianbei, was killed by Liu Ya when he was looting the northern land. The Xianbei people turned their heads east and invaded the Yanmen area. There is the intention of attacking Youzhou.

Liu Yu hurriedly recalled the envoy and ordered Liu He to lead troops to garrison the border to prevent the Xianbei army from invading. Youzhou, which had just gained a little momentum of development, could no longer stand the toss of war.

Liu He had no choice but to guard the border fortress by Gongsun Zan. Now that General Baima has gone to the Central Plains, the barbarians at the border can only be done by Liu Yu himself.

However, this is also a good opportunity to train troops. Actual combat with the Anti-Xianbei Army is countless times better than training in the school field. After some discussion, it was decided to divide the troops into two groups and take advantage of the situation to attack the scattered Xianbei Army to prevent them from reuniting and resurrecting.

Liu He led Yan Liang, Zhang Ying, Han Dang, and Yan Rou, with Cheng Yu as his military advisor, and at the same time recruited part of Wuhuan troops, marched out of Lulongsai from Youbeiping, and attacked the rebel army in the Baitan area, mainly to cut off the two Xianbei tribes in the east and west. contact.

Guan Yu led Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, and Xu Rong, with Tian Feng as his military adviser, recruited Xianbei and Wuhuan troops from Shanggu, and went out to Guangning to use Danhan Mountain as a stronghold to conquer the Xianbei tribes who had fled to the west.

At the same time, Bu Dugen was allowed to surrender the various ministries in the name of the Great Chanyu. After Helian and Kuitou died one after another, Bu Dugen became the only descendant of Xianbei Shanyu Tanshihuai, and it was justifiable for him to succeed Shanyu.

During this expedition, Liu He discussed with Liu Yu, Jushou and others, and decided to use a combination of suppression and appeasement to deal with the Xianbei army outside the Great Wall, and strive to completely defeat all the Xianbei ministries through this military training, so that they have no spare power to attack the Central Plains.

Today's big Han is riddled with holes and bandits, not only the western and northern borders are restless, but also the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Yangzhou and other places are constantly plagued by bandits, and the government can't exhaust the collection.

In fact, the territory of Xuzhou was not peaceful. The Taishan bandits and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were united.

Gongsun Zan was transferred to Xiliang, and the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou became rampant again. Together with the Taishan bandits, they plundered the surrounding counties.

In Fenggao County, a roar suddenly came from the county government office, and all the bamboo slips and tokens on the case table were scattered all over the ground.

Sheriff Zhang Ju's face was gloomy, his originally dark face turned iron blue, his mustache couldn't help trembling, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the table hard, his chest heaved continuously.

"Brother, this old Zhang Wen still looks down on you and me!" A person walked out from behind the pillar next to him, it was Zhang Chun who had escaped from Zhongshan.

Zhang Ju gritted his teeth and said, "It's really unreasonable for Zhang Wen to despise us so much."

Zhang Chun said ruthlessly: "The imperial court recruited soldiers to beg for thieves, you and my brothers volunteered to recommend themselves, and they wanted to serve the country wholeheartedly, but the old thief Zhang Wen took Gongsun Zan as his general. It seems that you and I will never succeed in this imperial court. It's day."

It turned out that after Zhang Wen conscripted the army, Zhang Chun suggested that Zhang Ju recommend himself as a general and lead the troops to suppress the bandits and perform meritorious service. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wen refused and instead actively recruited Gongsun Zan to go to war. Zhang Ju's hot face was pressed against his cold buttocks. How can you not be angry at being so despised?
Zhang Juyan said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, the Xiliang army and the Xianbei army are making chaos, the court is overwhelmed with self-care, and there are ten servants who are chaotic in the court program, and the court actually reuses people like Zhang Wen who don't know talents. I think the Han family is exhausted." .”

Zhang Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother, it was rumored a few days ago that someone in Luoyang gave birth to a conjoined twin, which means that there should be two masters in the world, and Gongsun Zan left Qingzhou again. This is a golden opportunity. !"

Zhang raised his hammer on the table and snorted coldly: "The imperial court refuses to use me. You should prove to the world the strength of you and my brother. One day, I swear to kill Zhang Wen."

Zhang Chun also looked ferocious, and said in a deep voice: "My opponent is Liu He. When I have strength, Liu He, this yellow-mouthed kid, I will definitely trample him under my feet."

Zhang Ju took a deep breath, looked around, called Zhang Chun to him, and said in a low voice: "Now there is smoke everywhere, Taishan bandits and Yellow Turbans are at odds with the Han court, you can contact them first, if you can lead the people of Taishan together Raise troops and unite with the Yellow Turban Army, and it will be easy to take Qingzhou."

Zhang Chun nodded and said: "Brother's clever plan, it coincides with me! My lord Qiu Liju and I have a deep relationship. After taking Qingzhou, we can join forces with Wuhuan to attack Hebei. If Hebei is settled, great achievements can be made!"
