Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The warm atmosphere in Yecheng did not diminish at all with the end of the first month of the lunar year.

For the common people, compared with the emperor's announcement that Cao Cao had been defeated three months ago, it was obviously more convincing that Liu Huangshu led his generals into Yecheng.

After all, for the common people, daily survival is full of suffering, and piecing together those fragmentary rumors, speculations, slanders and gossips in the market is one of the rare pleasures.

Before that, there was no doubt that Liu Huangshu was in front of them.

If you go to the fields, the old men can talk about how Liu Huangshu started his career by making shoes, how he escaped from Cao Gong's command, how he rose again with his sworn brothers and traveled to Bashu, and finally recaptured Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and how he became the biggest worry of Prime Minister Cao.

If these rumors are used, it seems natural that Liu Huangshu captured Prime Minister Cao.

The rumors that were talked about every day seemed to have come to an end. Even though the high and mighty Prime Minister Cao had not yet been seen tied up, the common people were not concerned about these things.

Because from three months ago to now, from the emperor announcing the defeat of Cao thieves, to Liu Huangshu entering Ye, to the revival of Han in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, one thing has been confirmed again and again:

The war is over, and the Han land has stopped fighting.

The chaos will end, and Changle will not end.

So even though it is now February of the 20th year of Jian'an, the common people still talk about things that happened 19 years ago.

Carefully break off half a piece of coal cake and feed it to the dying warm flame in the burning pit in the center of the house.

With a little more warmth, the newly taken snow in the pottery pot next to the pit melts faster.

The flame stretched out and began to support the pottery jar above, so the old millet in the jar mixed with boiling water began to emit a little fragrance.

"Add some more coal cakes, make the fire bigger."

"It's enough now, what else do you want to add?"

"Hey, since the twelfth lunar month, the emperor's uncle has sent coal cakes and corn every five days. I have already stored some at home, don't think I don't know."

"Don't just look at the present! The emperor's uncle may not send it next twelfth lunar month, you have to plan for next year."

"What plan? Everything is peaceful, just farm in peace."

"You and I can farm, how about the children? I have asked the emperor's uncle's soldiers, in Guanzhong and Jingzhou, children have to think about whether to study or learn to work at the age of seven."

"Tsk, what do you know, woman? Do you know where Guanzhong and Jingzhou are? Don't spread rumors."

"How could I not know! Didn't Dalang follow that damned Cao thief and die in Wulin, Jingzhou, without even a piece of clothes left!"

The woman's voice was a little sharp, which made Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, who were passing by the wall, look at each other subconsciously, sighing.

The two agreed to walk in the snow and passed by here. Now, they were a little hesitant about whether to persuade loudly.

Fortunately, there was no more movement in the house. After a moment of silence, the woman said that someone in the city exchanged money for coal cakes, and said that she planned to exchange the saved coal cakes for money so that she could buy some things in the spring, or keep them as travel expenses to cross the Yellow River to Luoyang when the weather warmed up.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun did not stop for too long and continued along the street.

The two generals went out of the north gate of Yecheng and took a horse each. They walked northward along the Zhangshui River in the wind and snow for half an hour until they saw a vast expanse of white and no people in front of them.

Today's trip was originally a sudden idea, all because of Zhang Fei's words "I haven't seen the snow in Yanshan since I came to Yecheng".

Lord Xuande was too busy and General Guan was still recuperating, so in the end Zhao Yun was dragged out by Zhang Fei to ride on the snow together.

This sudden decision was more because of the next arrangement. Lord Xuande, the emperor, and all the civil and military officials were going to return to Luoyang, including Zhang Fei.

But now that Cao Cao was defeated, Hebei needed to be comforted, so Zhao Yun became the most appropriate candidate at present.

In other words, Zhao Yun would soon be able to return home and rush to the border of Han territory, while Zhang Fei could only look at the "snow of Yanshan" from afar and then choose a day to go south.

Unexpectedly, looking at the heavy snow that connected the sky and the earth, Zhang Fei was obsessed with what he had just heard:

"Sufficient food and clothing, full granaries, what the people want, how difficult it is."

Zhao Yun remained silent in response to this, and Zhang Fei was not surprised. After all, this fourth brother had dealt with the people a lot when he was in Jingzhou, and was good at farming and knew farming, and knew the people's affairs much earlier than him.

But after the words came out, Zhang Fei quickly dissipated some of his depression.

After all, making the world "well-fed and well-clothed" is what the eldest brother's military advisor wants, and it is also the wish of all those who follow his brother.

Whether it is promoting literature and martial arts, or planning to reorganize the army, what they want is just these six words.

Find a big rock that is leeward, pull some hay from the snow and find some dead branches, sprinkle some coal powder brought with you, blow it with a fire starter, put three stones on it, and put the pottery pot filled with wine directly on it.

After a while, warm wine with cold wind, victory and ice and snow, Zhang Fei's face soon had a bit of intoxication.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the descendants of our Han Dynasty would even lose the imperial seal."

After being slightly tipsy, the conversation inevitably turned into what he had heard and seen a few days ago:

"It's a pity that most of the things we gave to the younger generation were found to be fake, otherwise I would definitely think of a way for the younger generation."

Although he didn't say what the method was, thinking about the white bear that almost caused a big chaos in Gong'an County before, Zhao Yun felt that he could probably guess three points, so he subconsciously turned his head to confirm that there was no one in the wilderness, and then advised:

"Brother, what you said makes sense. Instead of giving the imperial seal to the younger generation to be covered in dust, it is better for us to do our best to protect the country and the people so that this thing will not be lost."

However, Zhao Yun didn't know whether his brother heard this, because the other party soon began to think about other things again:

"The style of the Tang Dynasty has not ruined our reputation as a great Han Dynasty, but it was a little too messy and almost caused a big mess!"

"I intend to use Tang methods to organize troops in Anjiang. If the border people can combine Han style and Tang style, my eldest brother will definitely praise me!"

At this time, Zhao Yun felt a little regretful. He had worked hard for almost a year before and after the war last year. Yide had always banned alcohol in the army. After coming to Yecheng, he had many banquets. Unexpectedly, he was waiting here!

No wonder I felt the aroma of the wine was spicy and pungent when I was just warming up the wine. I guess I must have brought the wine used by military doctors to drink here. No wonder I only tasted the wine banquet in Yecheng. I am probably tired of the old wine.

At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly remembered the name Wang Guangyang, and the younger generation's evaluation of him as "drinking too much to get down to business" became concrete before his eyes.

It can only be said that Yide has indeed improved compared to before. Taking him to escape to this deserted place to have a drink can be regarded as minimizing the possibility of things going wrong.

As expected, the third brother in front of him burped and started pointing:

"Emperor Yongle can be called a hero, but the sword that bears his name fell into the hands of Yi Di and was regarded as a treasure. Even though he is not wearing a sword, it is still a shame!"

"Since Emperor Hongwu knows this, he needs to eliminate the Qing court's signs to calm me down!"

"It's just that Emperor Hongwu is in trouble. I don't know if Zhu Di is with his father now. I'm afraid that the father, brother and son are in a dilemma and can't give him any advice. It's a pity!"

Zhao Yun could only shake his head. Although Emperor Hongwu was difficult to deal with, it wouldn't be too ugly to call them a family anyway.

If Yide is really allowed to come up with two ideas, it will be really irreversible.

Nowadays, there is nothing else to do in the wilderness facing the ice and snow. Zhao Yun took it as a pleasure to listen to his third brother's drunken words. After not hearing the following for a long time, he couldn't help but urge:

"Third brother, where is the military map of Song Dynasty?"

“We haven’t yet been unified, so what’s there to talk about?”

Zhang Fei made a big comment over there, and then tilted to the side:

"I'm sleepy and I need to take a nap, Zilong..."

Before he finished speaking, he was already snoring.

Zhao Yun smiled helplessly, took off his fur robe and covered his third brother with it, and then picked up some firewood to make the flames a little higher.

Standing by the fire in the wind and snow, he simply did a set of boxing techniques to warm up. Compared to his hometown further north, the wind and snow at the moment were considered mild, so it was okay.

However, as his heart moved with the fist, Zhao Yun remembered what he had seen a few days ago as a gift from Emperor Song. It was a marching map that imitated the methods of later generations.

It used simple lines to outline an offensive plan for the Song Dynasty under his control. The army was divided into two groups based on Henan, sending troops to Hebei to reject Khitan reinforcements, and sending troops to Hedong to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.

After leaving the Khitan army, they used heavy troops to show weakness and seek to destroy the enemy and marched north. When they left the Northern Han army, they deployed ordnance under the guise of garrisoning and quickly broke through the city.

The subsequent plan became clearer. After defeating the Northern Han Dynasty, he used his route to attack the Khitan in two directions. He first tried to seize Youzhuo in Hebei and defend Buwu Fort, and then gathered all his strength to attack the Khitan in three directions. war.

From Zhao Yun's perspective, the Song Emperor's plan was similar to his brother's Donkey Cart Racing on the Gaoliang River, but it was changed to first defend Zhuozhou, and then slowly advance to Tuyouzhou, and adjusted the deployment of troops, which made it much more feasible. , and if we also consider that this emperor is known as knowing generals and soldiers, then the feasibility may be even higher.

Whether judging from Zhao Yun's own personal experience of following Baima Yicong in his early years, or judging from later historical records, things in Hebei have always been simple and clear:

If you capture Youzhou, you can close the gate of Yanshan and settle in Hebei. As long as you can stabilize Zhuozhou and capture Youzhou, this plan has become eight points.

However, he would take Jian'er northward after the beginning of spring. His purpose was the same as that of Emperor Song, and the safety of Youzhou was the top priority.

After all his thoughts were gone, he stopped his fists. Zhao Yun looked at the north with fighting spirit and whispered:

"I wonder if I can eat Zhending pears this year."
