Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36 Officially entered the track of troubled times
The Guangyang Yellow Turban Army killed Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Wei, the governor of Youzhou. Liu Qi, the governor of Zhuojun, was also killed by his confidants.

Liu Fang briefly described what Liu He had done during this period, and Zou Jing became more and more surprised as he heard it. How could this be something a young man could do?
If it is said that these things were done by his father Liu Yu, he can still believe that Liu He has such abilities at a young age, won't he be more powerful than Liu Yu in the future?

Recalling Gongsun Zan's conscription some time ago, Liu He thought it was a rebellion by the common people. Could it be that he had expected all this?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Guangyang County is occupied by thieves, and they will soon invade Zhuo County. What is your master's strategy?"

Now the supreme commander of the entire Youzhou should be Zou Jing, and the address of "Young Master" obviously puts Liu He in the top position.

Zou Jing suffered a big defeat. At this time, he was upset and completely lost his mind. Seeing that Liu He had handled it well, and he was Liu Yu's eldest son, he unconsciously regarded him as the backbone.

Liu He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there any other edicts issued by the imperial court?"

Zou Jing said: "In addition to recruiting brave men from the prefectures and counties to defend and respond to the imperial court's rebellion, His Majesty also issued a decree to amnesty the party members, return all migrants, ask all ministers to donate military equipment, and recommend people of insight. Go to the Public Transport Department to wait for orders, and they will be hired according to their ability.”

"Amnesty for the party members?" Liu He pondered for a while, and said: "At present, we must first keep Zhuojun County. I ask Captain Zou to order the counties to stabilize people's hearts, recruit village braves to strengthen patrols, wipe out the Yellow Turbans in the city, and recommend talents to come here. In Zhuo County, no matter the status is high or low, we will hire only talents, and talents can be recommended to the bus department."

"That's the way it is." Zou Jing nodded, then frowned and said, "If there is no distinction between high and low, only talents are respected, there may be unkind and unfilial people, and there will be endless harm."

Liu He sighed: "Nowadays, the court is corrupt, officials are incompetent, many heroes are dusted, and celebrities are reclusive. In extraordinary times, only extraordinary people are used. Isn't the great general He Jin also a butcher?"

Seeing Liu He's foresight and broad mind, Zou Jing became even more frightened. He nodded and said, "Young master has the benevolence of your father and the heroism of a general. This Youzhou is in danger, so I count on you to turn the tide."

Liu He hurriedly said: "What's my virtue and ability, I just can't bear to see the Han Dynasty collapse, so I will do my best and rely on everyone's concerted efforts to destroy the thieves."

Zou Jing asked, "Do you have a plan to defeat the thieves?"

Liu Heyan said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. The Yellow Turban Army is divided into 36 parties, all of which are commanded by Qu Commander. I have already found out that Qu Commander Fang Qu in Youzhou is Cheng Yuanzhi. If he can be killed, the rest of the thieves will follow suit. crumble."

Zou Jing smiled wryly: "The bandit army already has [-] people, it's not easy to kill Cheng Yuanzhi?"

Liu He replied: "Thieves who rob prefectures and counties will definitely meet up at Julu and Zhangjiao. They must pass through Zhuojun. Cheng Yuanzhi must take the lead. When they violate the border, they will be eliminated."

Liu Fang had interacted with Liu He during this period of time, and he knew his ability well. He said from the side: "In the past, Liu Shijun was powerful in Youzhou. He had a high reputation and the people sang happily. Up to now, Liu Gong's virtue is still appreciated everywhere. Now the prefectures and counties are in chaos, but Bewitched by the thieves, the young master leads an army to quell the rebellion, once the head of the thieves is eliminated, the rest of the people will surrender."

Zou Jing's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded, "This plan is very clever. From now on, the troops will be dispatched and commanded by the young master, and the people will be appeased in the name of Liu Gong. The situation will be stabilized as soon as possible."

"This... is also good!" Liu He touched his nose, smiled helplessly, and nodded in agreement.

Although he has done some practical things now, after all, it is still more effective to have a good father. At this time, playing the banner of Liu Yu is indeed more effective than an unknown brat.

Zou Jing immediately asked Liu Fang to send people to send orders to the counties to inform the counties of the "Jiazi" secret code, to find the secret code to investigate the bandits, and recommend talents to Zhuo County to listen to them, so as to guard against the Yellow Turban bandits in Guangyang County. live, other counties will also suffer.

Once the governor Guo Xun died, only Zou Jing could send the edict to other places. Liu He asked Zou Jing to send someone to convey the edict to Yuyang and Youbeiping counties. These places are relatively remote, and the Taiping sect may not have penetrated yet. If the county is stable, send troops immediately He went to Zhuojun to support him, and responded to the imperial court's call to destroy the Yellow Turban bandits.

The affairs of the county were handled by Zou Jing and Liu Fang, while Liu He stepped up military training, distributed all the weapons in the treasury, sent more scouts to monitor the movement of the bandit army, and mobilized the people to prepare defense equipment and prepare for battle at any time.

It wasn't that Liu He didn't want to fight the rebellion, but that the elite soldiers had been dismissed by Lu Xiong. The remaining [-] soldiers were not considered regular, and the rest were recruits. It would be good if they could protect themselves. How dare they take them out to fight?

In the Romance, Liu Guanzhang defeated [-] Yellow Turban Army with [-] soldiers in the first battle. That was to directly kill the bandit leader Cheng Yuanzhi, and the bandit army fell down and scattered.

Now the bandits are scattered all over Guangyang County, if they can't find Cheng Yuanzhi to suppress the bandits, they just give away their heads.

But in any case, all of this heralded the beginning of troubled times, and he was also involved in the torrent of history, stepping into the track of disputes in this world.

If you want to change history, you must first change yourself. Only strong strength can reverse the current situation. If it is difficult to protect yourself, how can you talk about helping the Han Dynasty?

When the news of the robbery in Guangyang County came, the county officials panicked and hurriedly strengthened the investigation and defense. In Liangxiang, Fangcheng and other places adjacent to Guangyang County, some people were afraid that the county's troops would be insufficient, so they simply took their families to Zhuo County to take refuge.

Liu He also called on righteous men from all over the country to beg for thieves under the name of Liu Yu. More and more people came to Zhuo County, and the streets were overcrowded and became very lively.

Xu Rong outside the city expanded his troops to five thousand, but still retained the eight hundred elites left by Guan Yu, of which fifty soldiers and ten centurions were selected by Guan Yu himself, and the other soldiers also had selection criteria.

Such as height, physical strength, jumping ability, etc., Guan Yu has set standards, Liu He asked Xu Rong to continue to follow the original training method to survive the fittest, this infantry and Zhang Fei's cavalry will become the main force in future battles.

During this period, Liu He personally went to the border of Zhuo County to inspect the terrain and familiarize himself with the terrain so that he could better deal with the Yellow Turban Army.

The Zhangba Snake Spear was finally completed. This weapon can be stabbed and slashed, and it is more handy than a butcher's knife. Zhang Fei couldn't put it down. Go to the village to apply.

Although they all ended up joining the army, in the eyes of these people, when Zhang Fei recruited heroes, everyone was like-minded. Following Zhang Fei was doing justice for the people, and going to the government to join the army seemed a bit flattering and demeaning.

This is also the main reason why Liu He insisted on letting Zhang Fei recruit talents as ordinary people.

On this day, I was checking the list of recruiters, and Tan Mafei reported that the Yellow Turban Army was indeed marching towards Zhuo County, and there were bandit troops all over the mountains and plains, and their momentum was extremely large.

Liu He immediately went to the government office to discuss with Zou Jing about dispatching troops, and sent someone to send a message to Zhang Fei, asking him to bring his troops to meet up on the bank of Zhuo River in the north of the city.
