Royal road

Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, was also in Qinghe, but he was not in the government office, but on the sickbed.

"Cough, cough, cough... Thanks to General Yi's assistance, we were able to get out of trouble..." The man leaning on the couch suppressed his throat and coughed, and said with difficulty.

His appearance is not bad, and there is a certain aura between his brows, but it is now covered by his illness.That day, he insisted on defending Xindu until the city was broken, but the state soldiers desperately escorted him out.It's a pity that he encountered rebellious soldiers on the road, and Ding Shaoli was shot by an arrow during the battle. In addition to being overly shocked and depressed, he fell ill when he arrived in Qinghe.As far as meeting Yiyan, you can only stay in the room.

Facing Inspector Ding with a sick face, it was rare for Yiyan to show a cold face, and persuaded: "Inspector Ding should take care of his illness first. This time the rebellious army has been defeated by the last general, and Qinghe should be safe."

However, this consolation did not satisfy Ding Shao.He struggled to support himself: "The rebellious army has escaped a lot, and they will never let it go. I am afraid that there are still cities in Jizhou that will suffer from military disasters. It is a pity that I compare myself to Wang Pengzu and Gou Daojiang, but I can't even have a rogue bandit." Can't resist..."

He was talking about Wang Jun and Gou Xi, of course.These two men have made great military exploits, and they are the first-class generals in the court.In his early years, Ding Shao also relied on his military exploits to make a fortune. He governed the prefectures and counties with even more political justice and justice, and his surroundings were safe.Unexpectedly, a bandit who suddenly entered the country would bring chaos to Jizhou.Now that he was seriously ill in bed, Ding Shao felt even more depressed and indignant.

"This time the bandit leader is extraordinary, and the soldiers and horses of the state and county may be difficult to deal with. If it is not for the help of the governor, the general will not be able to defeat him."

What Yiyan said was not an excuse.When he left Zhao County, he originally planned to go straight to the enemy's camp, taking advantage of the fact that they had just broken through Xindu, he neglected to take precautions, and wiped them out in one fell swoop.But following the scout's report, he found that the leader of this group of rogues was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.Even when the city was broken and looted, the camp of the rogues did not have too many loopholes. All the ministries performed their duties and the defense was extremely tight.After all, his own troops were too small, so Yiyan changed his strategy and contacted Inspector Ding in Qinghe to complete this plan of dividing troops to defeat the enemy.

No matter how good at fighting, there is only one opponent in the end.As long as he is separated from the army under his command, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.And these men and horses under him are rogues who turned from people into bandits.If there is a smooth battle, everyone can take the lead. Once the system is destroyed and the command is lost, nine out of ten will be defeated.

The same is true for the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Han Dynasty.Tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans can be defeated by thousands of Qingqi and flee in all directions. Which of the heroes in the struggle for hegemony does not rely on this to make meritorious deeds?It is precisely because of this that Yiyan dared to let go of his actions, and defeated the strong twice with the weak, and there was a time lag.Of course, this self-confidence is also inseparable from the five hundred horse armor left by the lord.

He took all the horse armor captured from Liu Cong to Yecheng.This is the only thing that others can never give.

Looking at the unashamed Jie general in front of him, Ding Shao sighed: "I heard that most of the fleeing bandits are horse soldiers. I will send orders to the counties to let them stick to the city. It will be difficult to catch up with these bandits."

The cavalry's siege relies on speed, and there are pursuers behind them. I am afraid they will not attack those cities that cannot be defended.If all the county guards can stand upright and reduce the chance of breaking the city, it will not be difficult.But again, the bandits are too fast, Yiyan only has [-] cavalry at hand, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to catch up.The harm caused by such a rogue army is still not small.

"Wang Dudu may not ignore it, as long as the rogues harass Youzhou, they will definitely attract Xianbei cavalry." Yiyan also had a plan to deal with this point.

Ding Shao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I heard that General Yi appeases several counties in Zhao County?"

The topic suddenly turned to this, and it was about his intention to seize power, Yiyan raised his eyebrows, but didn't hide it: "Exactly. If there are no bandits in the city, the people will be in trouble."

After coughing a few times, Ding Shao said with difficulty: "I also ask General Yi to lead the troops to help me stabilize Jizhou."

Does this mean that he acquiesced in his actions?Yiyan couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, but he didn't bother to guess, and simply nodded: "Ding Cishi only cares about recuperating, Jizhou is the barrier of Sizhou, I will do my best."

Seeing the solemn expression of the Jie man, Ding Shao secretly sighed in his heart.How could he not know Wang Jun's plan for Jizhou?Now there is another Yiyan, probably related to Liang Zixi, the governor of Bingzhou behind him.But in comparison, Ding Shao is still more receptive to "help" like Yiyan.

Although Wang Jun's soldiers and horses were strong, the Xianbei cavalry were greedy. When they captured Yecheng and Chang'an, they burned, killed and looted hard to measure. Wherever they went, the people were destitute.But Yiyan's soldiers are not like this at all.Taking in refugees in Anding counties is a real emergency, not a plunder.This alone makes the difference.

Ding Shao thinks highly of himself and is quite talented. He has always regarded Dong Zhengsihai as his ambition.This defeat really hit his self-confidence, he was seriously injured, and he felt that time was running out.If he really had to choose, Ding Shao would of course choose someone who could appease the people and live up to his lifelong belief.This person will definitely not be Wang Jun!

Closing his eyes tiredly, Ding Shao nodded slowly: "There is General Lao Yi."

Walking out of the bedroom filled with the smell of medicine, Yiyan also exhaled the depression in his chest.This Inspector Ding reminded him of the man who was far away in Bingzhou.Perhaps not all officials in states and counties in the world are like Wang Ping and Pei Dun, who only serve their own selfishness and harm the common people.It's just that they lack the heart and wrists like the master.

Qinghe City has not been breached, and the city is still a rare scene of stability.Although the passers-by on the road were a little shocked, they did not feel the misery and fear of being displaced.Yiyan has already seen many horrible scenes along the way.The woman who fell to death by the side of the road, the children in the house starved to death, and even animals that ate everything that could be eaten in order to survive... Why did those innocent and good people suffer such disasters?

There must be someone to stop this troubled world.

The desire to kill the bandit leader of the same clan has not diminished, but it is no longer Yiyan's most concerned thing.How to annihilate that chaotic army and how to save more people is what he should do.And these are not all for the lord.

With his eyes swept across the bustling streets, Yiyan took another step towards the outside of the city.

Even if there is Xingdao and fast horses to deliver it, it will still take a lot of time for the news to reach Jizhou.Liang Feng has been restless for the past few days!Reason told him that Yiyan would not act recklessly, and that he must have a plan for sending troops.But the anxiety in my heart will not be reduced by this.

If the Shangdang sent troops, the connection between him and Yiyan would not be able to hide from the people in Luoyang.But at this moment, how can there be so many things!

After waiting for seven or eight days, the secret letter was finally delivered to the desk.When he saw the content of the letter, Liang Feng felt like he was stepping on the ground, showing a dumbfounding expression.

Zhang Bin sighed: "General Yi is really invincible in a hundred battles, and he can win like this!"

That's right, in the face of tens of thousands of troops, Yiyan defeated many with fewer troops twice, defeating partial divisions, breaking through the camp, and forcing the bandit leader to flee far away.There are tens of thousands of soldiers surrendered after the war alone!And the letter he sent from Bingzhou only said one important thing, which was to send money.The treasures found in the camp were loaded into horse-drawn carts and transported along Fukouxing to Jinyang.Just gold and silver, no less than ten carts!

Those gangsters have emptied Jizhou's treasury and aristocratic family, and now they are all cheap.

"Boyuan asked for food in the letter. It seems that the situation in Jizhou is not good." The initial surprise was overwhelmed, Liang Feng finally calmed down and continued to look down.

In addition to giving money, Yiyan also asked for food and grass.After breaking through the camp, they obtained a lot of food and fodder, and it seemed that they still couldn't feed the people who had lost their homes.I don't know how long it will take to wait for the imperial court to allocate grain. If it can't catch up with Xia Zhong, Jizhou will be completely barren.

"Let's sneak some food over there." Liang Feng would not hesitate about this.It just so happened that Zhao Jun was also under Yiyan's control, and even the imperial court might not be able to notice if it was shipped from Leping Kingdom.

"I heard that Governor Ding also relies heavily on General Yi. In this way, it should not be difficult to occupy the southeast of Jizhou." Zhang Bin said calmly with a smile on his face.

According to common sense, Governor Ding's overtures should be quite worrying.After all, Yiyan is out alone now, if there is another governor who trusts him more, everyone will feel a drum in his heart, for fear that he will vote for someone else.But this cartful of treasure completely dispelled his doubts.Zhang Bin has now confirmed that there is absolutely no doubt between the lord and General Yi.Knowing each other is the most stable cornerstone of the great cause.With this major premise, everything else is trivial.

Liang Feng nodded his head, acquiescing to this statement.The letter also wrote a lot of things, including Yiyan's next strategic plan.Basically follow behind the rebellious army and drive the thieves into Youzhou.Wang Jun already coveted Jizhou, now that he has such an excuse, he should not let it go.It's just that the thief leader was unexpectedly cunning, if Wang Jun couldn't keep him, he might be in trouble.

"I didn't expect the leader of the rebellion army to be a Jie. I wonder if Wang Jun can destroy him?" Liang Feng sighed softly.He is really lucky now, if he hadn't picked up Yiyan himself, wouldn't he have also mixed in with that group of rogues, burned, killed and looted, and used his outstanding military talents on the opposite side?

Zhang Bindao: "Wang Pengzu's Xianbei soldiers and horses, are they empty? And with General Yi at his side, Jizhou will be settled in the end."

At that time, it was time for the two states to fight.How could Liang Feng not know the situation that Bingzhou was about to face?

"The locust extermination operations in all counties should be carried out early. There is also the Buddha's birthday next month, and we can also take the opportunity to hold a Dharma meeting to calm people's hearts." Withdrawing his thoughts, Liang Feng focused his eyes on them.

Zhang Bin does not believe in Buddhism, but he knows the role of Buddhism in comforting the people, especially the Hu people, so he will naturally not object: "Bin will do it now. But there is one thing, my lord, don't ignore it. There are many sages in Jizhou and Yanzhou, and many Not to be recruited by the imperial court. If you can invite virtuous people, you will have a great career!"

Liang Feng's heart skipped a beat. By the way, aren't there still famous oar-fighting generals in this era?Where is he now?For whom?In this era, it is true that the aristocratic family is decaying, but there are still many people who have left their names in history.Does he have the courage and ability to control these capable ministers and good generals?

Looking at Zhang Bin with shining eyes in front of him, Liang Feng felt a sense of arrogance in his chest, he rubbed his knees and said with a smile: "Meng Sun reminded me very much. Send people to visit more often, and seek talents from the wild!"

In fact, Zhang Bin also had some concerns. He was afraid that with the channel of system department, the lord would be closed to himself.Now that he got the approval, he couldn't help but beam with joy: "Bin should do his best to accept talents for the Lord!"
