Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 94 Changes Caused by the Butterfly Effect

After the investigation of the slave reselling by the Wuhuan people, more than [-] people were rescued from various tribes, and the number of people returned by Xianbei reached nearly [-].

Liu He asked Yan Rou to appease these people. Those who had families would be sent home after returning to Youzhou, and those who had no families would go back to Zhuo County together. Now that they have just obtained a fiefdom, they can be resettled.

Now that Ji Chou is being imprisoned, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and the operation of the market can only be temporarily handed over to Cheng Xu, and Xian Yufu asks his brother Xian Yuyin to stay temporarily to assist Cheng Xu.

The rest of the officials were vacant, and the imperial court could not allocate them for the time being, so they could only ask Cheng Xu and Xian Yufu to recommend talents to fill them in, and even selected some people from Xianbei and Wuhuan people to assist in doing things.

However, opening up the market also means that the barbarians are in danger of plundering the people. It is very suitable to choose to trade in an empty city like Juyang. In addition, strengthening the defense of Juyongguan can not only ensure the safety of Youzhou, but also facilitate the collection of customs duties.

The most important thing in trading with Hu people is to enforce the law fairly and convince the public. Currently, the most suitable candidate is Yan Rou. Liu He asked him to go home to report safety, and then come to Juyang to help maintain order. After the process goes smoothly, he can call elsewhere.

The Qifu tribe of Xianbei who surrendered was placed in the northwest of Juyang, and 1000 elite soldiers were selected to be led by Yan Rou.

Selecting elite soldiers from the Wuhuan and Xianbei people to form mercenaries is another soldier plan of Liu He in the future. The Hu people have superb riding skills and are fierce in combat. After training, the cavalry's combat power is very terrifying. There will definitely be some in the Central Plains in the future. Useful.

When everything was arranged and the troops returned to Jicheng, it was already the beginning of winter, and the north was already terribly cold, and the soldiers all put on thick armor.

Zou Jing greeted the army back to the city in person, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "My nephew has made steady progress in the past half a year, and his power has shaken Youyan. It's really the luck of the people of Youzhou!"

This clean and quick solution to the border troubles once again demonstrated Liu He's ability to govern the army, and he was promoted to a noble, and in a blink of an eye he became Zou Jing's boss.

Liu He humbly brought up Ji Chou who was in custody, and Zou Jing ordered him to be imprisoned and wait for Luoyang's reply before dealing with him.

Jichou yelled aggrieved but it was of no avail. He never expected that although the rescuers he invited defeated the Xianbei army, they also turned him into a prisoner.

The frontier fortress suffered a lot from the barbarians. Zou Jing had been in Youzhou for many years, and he had actually heard about it, but he had no right to intervene.

Although Liu He handled this matter beyond his authority, Zou Jing secretly praised Liu He. Liu He had both Liu Yu's benevolence for the sake of the people and Liu Yu's decisiveness in killing. This was the person who could shoulder the responsibility of supporting the court. heavy duty person.

Regarding Liu He's move of advocating mutual market, Zou Jing also greatly agreed. In fact, Liu Yu had discussed this matter when he was in office, but he was transferred away before it was implemented.

The Hu people live nomadicly by water and don't know how to farm and store supplies. If they don't exchange with them, once they encounter a crisis, they will take risks like the Xianbei army and invade the border.

Later, Liu He left part of the seized supplies to Zou Jing. Guangyang County was the most severely looted by the Yellow Turban Army. Zou Jing was ordered to do so at the critical moment. It was not easy to clean up the mess.

Zou Jing was deeply moved by Liu He's generosity. He is so selfless and sympathetic to the hard work of the people in Guangyang, which is indeed Liu Yu's demeanor.

More than a dozen carts of supplies entered the city one after another, and Zou Jing and other officials kept thanking Liu Hezhi for his kindness. At this moment, a large herd of cattle and sheep came rushing in with dust flying from behind.

Zou Jing looked up and asked in surprise, "What kind of horse is this?"

Liu He said with a smile: "These cattle are raised by the Xianbei people. They can be used for milk production and farming. Most of the war horses are injured and cannot be incorporated into the army. They can be used as labor. It will be very useful in the next spring."

Zou Jing sighed: "I don't want the Lord to be so considerate, the people of Guangyang will be rich in the future, and they will never forget the kindness of the Lord."

When everyone arrived at the government office, Liu He ordered people to slaughter the sheep to celebrate the victory. Although the counties and counties are short of supplies, the soldiers have worked hard in the conquest, and it is necessary to reward them with food and drink occasionally.

During the meeting, Zou Jing roughly described the situation in the Central Plains during this period. Zhu Jun first defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng, and beheaded Sun Xia in Jingshan, West Hubei.

Since the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei was defeated by Liu He, Huangfu Song marched eastward along the river and defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. He captured more than [-] people in one battle and built a temple in Gaotang to show his military power.

The rest of the yellow scarf armies in the prefectures and counties were thousands of small and over ten thousand large, and they were all destroyed. Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song returned to the court. Emperor Ling was overjoyed and rewarded the three armies and the expedition soldiers.

Huangfu Song was appointed as the general of the left chariot and cavalry, leading the shepherd of Jizhou, and promoted to the title of Marquis of Huaili, with the number of households increased to [-]; Zhu Jun was made the general of the right chariot and cavalry, granted the title of Marquis of Xixiang, and the number of households with the number of households increased to [-].

Compared with Liu He who killed Zhang Jiao's three brothers, this grant was more than two or three times more. Some people complained for Liu He during the banquet. Liu He was the first to break the Yellow Turban, and he was not granted the title of general or county marquis. Too much.

But Liu He didn't care. Age was one aspect, and it probably had something to do with people not being in Luoyang. Secondly, he gave Lu Zhi half of the credit for begging for the yellow scarf this time, and asked the clan members to intercede for Lu Zhi after returning.

Before Dong Zhuo's hegemony, most of the characters in the Three Kingdoms period were still missing or invisible. The famous generals in this period should be Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huang Fusong and others.

Now with the addition of Liu He who has gained fame, he is more concerned about the changes caused by the butterfly effect. Cao Cao is still the Prime Minister of Jinan, but the fate of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan has undergone great changes.

Liu Bei followed Huangfusong to fight for meritorious service. Huangfusong saw that he was benevolent and caring for the people, and he had martial arts skills. He recommended him as the prefect of Nanyang to manage the hardest-hit area that had just been looted by the Yellow Turban Army.

Gongsun Zan was ordered to go to the frontier fortress to recruit soldiers. When he arrived in Youbeiping, Huangfusong happened to be conquering the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou.

Historically, Gongsun Zan has no record of participating in the Yellow Turban War. He has been active in Youzhou. Probably because he was dissatisfied with Liu He's appeal in Youzhou, he went directly to Qingzhou.

However, Liu Bei only served as a small county magistrate, and soon after, because he hated Duyou, he was whipped and fled. It was not until the eighteenth princes crusade against Dong Zhuo that he followed Gongsun Zan to show up.

Now the fate of both of them has changed, especially Liu Bei, who was originally ill-fated, like a bereaved dog, after being certified as a royal family, he also skyrocketed and became the prefect of Nanyang.

Compared with Liu He's rise, Liu Bei's transfer is still much weaker, but with Liu Bei's ability to buy people's hearts, I am afraid that a large number of talents in Jingzhou will be recruited by him.

But this time there was also an unexpected harvest. In history, after Huangfu Song returned to Luoyang, he gave Lu Zhi the credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, so Lu Zhi returned to his original post and remained as Minister.

But this time Huangfusong did nothing in Jizhou. Liu He gave half of the credit to Lu Zhi, which was not enough to atone for the crime. Under the plea of ​​Huangfusong and others, Liu Hong only exonerated Lu Zhi, but demoted him to a commoner.

At this time, Lu Zhi was on his way home, and this was a big treasure.

If Lu Zhi was allowed to guide Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others in Zhuo County, wouldn't these people go to heaven?
