"Yongming has captured Feng Yi? Good! As expected of my horse!" Hearing the latest battle report, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised loudly.
These days, he is constantly concerned about the war in the west. A few days ago, I learned that Liu Yao had captured Chang'an in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, before the reinforcements arrived, Liu Yao abandoned the city and left. Hearing this news made Liu Yuan furious. Unexpectedly, before the evil fire in his stomach was released, news came that Liu Yao had captured Feng Yi County.
Chang'an is far from Pingyang County, but Fengyi County is different. Not only is it directly bordering Pingyang, but it can also become a flank of Hedong. Coupled with the closure of Tong, there is also a way to push Hongnong. In this way, half of Sizhou will belong to the Han state, which is much more cost-effective than the solitary Chang'an.
The accumulated anger at this time was immediately dissipated, and Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. It seems that the loss of Chang'an can't be blamed on Liu Yao, but it is this son who is decisive and makes the Han country one step ahead.
"Congratulations to the king on the next city!" Shangshu ordered Liu Huanhao to congratulate him. "And this attack on Chang'an is to take advantage of the solar eclipse. It seems that the Shangdang thing was quite strange!"
This is also one of the important harvests of the Changan Great Victory. Liu Yao claimed that he had appointed Jin Taishi as an official, and calculated the time of the solar eclipse, so he was able to conquer a fortified city like Chang'an in one go. On the other hand, when Shangdang suddenly launched troops on Zhengdan to capture Yangyi, was it also deliberately calculating the solar eclipse
If this is the case, then the courage of the sick seedlings is too great!
Hu Yanliang, the general on the side, snorted coldly: "I heard that Liang Feng has been promoted to the prefect of Bingzhou? No wonder he will send troops to capture Qixian. After he enters Jinyang, the situation in Bingzhou will be difficult. King, it is better to send troops as soon as possible, and then Attack the party!"
Listening to the important minister's suggestion, Liu Yuan frowned slightly: "When the sun is eclipsed, it can be regarded as Liang Zixi's deceit, but there are always thunderstorms. If they rashly mobilize troops, the soldiers may be timid."
"This must be a trick!" Hu Yanliang said sharply, "That Liang Zixi pretended to be a Buddhist, and maybe he took in some strange person who can cast spells. It's better to prepare some blood and filth in the army and throw them away when the battle is over. In front of the formation, it will definitely be able to break its vision!"
This is also a solution, and all the ministers in the ranks said yes. Liu Yuan didn't answer, but said, "Don't be in a hurry. There have been several years of war in Bingzhou, and there is a Li Shi locust shortage. Even if you kill it, it will not be very beneficial. But Hedong is different. Now the most important thing is to occupy Hedong first!"
Hadong County is a truly fertile land. Not to mention those fertile fields, it's just a big piece of fat from Hedong families. Wen Xi, the Pei Clan, the Wuqiu Clan, and the Anyi Wei Clan, which one is not a one-of-a-kind wealthy family? The Han Kingdom has no friendship with them, and if they do not surrender, there will be only a dead end. How much should be accounted for by the occupation of the property and wealth of these officials
What's more, there is also Yanchi in Hedong! Now the soldiers and horses of the Jin state are gathered in Jingzhou, and they are fighting the puppet emperor Sima Ying. Jizhou was in chaos, Qingzhou and Yangzhou also had rebels, Yongzhou was just turned into a pot of rotten porridge, and Feng Yi was taken over by Liu Yao. Where is the shortage of troops? And Hedong was separated from Hongnong and Luoyang by the Yellow River. Even if the Jin army wanted to return troops to help, it was powerless. It can be said that now is the best time to launch troops! As long as they occupy Hedong, they occupy a large granary and granary, and those urgent needs will disappear immediately.
Wang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, also said: "Let's not talk about the importance of Hedong, just Liang Zixi's reputation as a prefect can take advantage of it. If this son is in Jinyang, he can't hold back his old ministers, or he will follow the leader of the army. There will be conflicts between people. At that time, there will be no need for one soldier or one soldier to bring Bingzhou into chaos!"
This is what Liu Yuan wants to see the most. Fushou smiled, and he said: "What Wang Shizhong said is very lonely. I heard that Liu Hu has also voted for Han recently. It is better to let him join hands with Baibu Xianbei and attack Jinyang's stomach and back from Xinxing County. In this way, after Hedong is settled , can also calmly deal with the troops and horses of Bingzhou.”
Liu Hu was the grandson of Qubei, King Youxian of the Huns, and his name was Tiefu. He had been taking care of the portal by himself before, but now he may have become willing to serve because of the great power of the Han state. If he can unite with the Xianbei people to attack Jinyang, he will gain a lot of breathing time for himself.
After making up his mind, Liu Yuan no longer hesitated, and stood up: "Send the order to the commander! Lonely important soldier, take Hedong in person!"
※
After several days of preparation, a team of 2,000 people left Shangdang and headed for Jinyang.
After all, it was a time of war, so it was not advisable to publicize it. Liang Feng walked silently, and even the people in the city didn't know much about it. Of course, this is for safety reasons. If they were to send each other off, maybe they would be ambushed when they came out of Shangdang.
However, along the way, Liang Feng was in a bad mood. Lucheng is the hinterland of Shangdang, and it is also the best place to operate. The farther away, the worse the environment. When we arrived in Nieh County, there were very few farmlands, but Wubao became denser. But after crossing Nie County and entering the realm of Taiyuan Kingdom, the world in front of him has completely changed.
The roads have long been deserted, and unburied bones can be vaguely seen in the fields. It may not be possible to see a village or a town in a radius of ten miles. The occasional human footprint is also a refugee who has taken the old to help the weak. This is because they are numerous and brightly armored. If they change to a caravan, I am afraid that the bandits who are hiding in the mountains and forests have already swarmed up.
The way of business that he ordered people to stray from back then has long since been cut off. No one dared to commit a crime in the Shangdang, but Taiyuan, a place that had been fighting for two years, had long since fallen into anarchy. It is not uncommon to be afraid of selling wives and vends.
It was just like this after being separated by dozens of miles. What will happen to Jinyang, who has been besieged for a year
The further he walked, the heavier Liang Feng's mood became. This is the core of Bingzhou, the most fertile Jinzhong Basin in Sanjin. If the Taiyuan country is like this, and other places in the state, I can't imagine it.
They did not go directly to Jinyang, but when they arrived in Yangyi, the team stopped. Ge Hong, the county magistrate, personally welcomed him out of the city.
"I haven't seen him for half a year, and Zhichuan is also tired." Ge Hong not only lost weight, but also became a lot darker. How could he have the demeanor of a hermit and Taoist back then. Just seeing it, Liang Feng couldn't help sighing.
"Sir, you are overworked!" Ge Hong was not polite to him, he just wanted to grab the number one pulse on his wrist.
He had heard about Liang Feng's mistake in Han Shi San, but he didn't expect to be so ill! This year of nursing care has been in vain!
Seeing this, Liang Feng smiled and held the other party's sleeve: "Ji En is here too, not busy, you have time for consultation. Tell me about the situation in Yangyi City first."
This time Jiang Da was also with the team, not only to treat Liang Feng, but also to preside over the epidemic prevention work in Bingzhou. After the war, there will be a big epidemic, and the population of the state will be withered. If it encounters the epidemic, it will be bad.
After all, this city is also where Ge Hong’s hard work is located. As Liang Feng boarded the car, he introduced in detail: “In Yangyi City, only the city wall has been restored, and many houses in the city were destroyed when the city was seized that day. I also Not all of them were allowed to rebuild, and most of them were converted into shacks, which were used as an isolation area to house the displaced people from the past. After the capture of Qixian County, the displaced people in the city were dispatched to reclaim the land and rush to plant. After a while, there should be another crop of soybeans.”
Liang Feng listened to Ge Hong's narration while watching the scene in the city. Sure enough, in this desolate town, the population is larger than what we saw along the way. In addition to defending the city and keeping the people in check, Ge Hong has multiple jobs, and he is not exhausted. He is already strong.
After arriving at the county office, Liang Feng shook his head as he looked at the burnt-out side of the house, "It's just a county, and it's really subservient to Zhichuan..."
This is the ancient bureaucracy with real integrity and talent. Moreover, it is the kind of compound talents who will be generals when they come out, appearances when they are in, medicine when they are in action, and immortals when they are hidden. Putting it in a county is really overkill.
There was a hint of red on Ge Hong's tanned face: "When Hong was in the army, he only felt that the military was very dangerous. I never thought about being in power, but I realized that the danger was no less than a battle. For half a year, Yang has The city accommodated a total of 3,000 mouths, and those who survived were the people of Dajin after all."
Ge Hong is a mixture of Taoism and Confucianism. His philosophy of life is a mixture of Taoist and Confucianism's genuine concern for life. When I left the military that year, I only hated that Nanren could not be promoted through normal channels, and was excluded by Shangguan, so I angrily left. But now, as a county magistrate, to govern a county, he immediately wakes up what he has been suppressing in his heart.
Seeing Ge Hong's expression, Liang Feng smiled and nodded: "It is a blessing for all people to have this thought in Zhichuan. But I still need help when I go to Jinyang."
Hearing Liang Feng's words, Ge Hong's eyebrows couldn't help but move, this was his move. From the magistrate to the governor's staff, it seems that he has been relocated, but in fact, he has been promoted by a big step. However, being involved in the political chaos in Jinyang, can he still be as good as he is now
Seeing to understand Ge Hong's thoughts, Liang Feng added another sentence: "Zhichuan doesn't need to worry, the only person you want to assist is me. Those complicated relationships will be handled by Siruo."
Ge Hong is not a communicative talent. On the contrary, he has always been a bit dull and rigid in interpersonal relationships. I don't know if it was the influence of losing his father at a young age. Dealing with specific affairs is completely competent, but others still need to be sharpened.
Hearing what Liang Feng said, Ge Hong finally nodded: "As long as you don't give up, Hong Ding will do his best!"
With Ge Hong, one more help. Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, I can go to Jinyang with confidence. But the top priority is to prepare a canopy stand car."
"Stand up the car?" Ge Hong repeated inexplicably. Only when the imperial court worships the Mingtang of the suburban temple will the cart stand up. Three Dukes, Nine Ministers, and Two Thousand Stones are allowed to drive. A provincial governor like Xiang Liangfeng should usually be An Che and a second driver. Why do you suddenly remember to stand up
Liang Feng snorted: "If someone refuses to welcome you, I will come to visit. This Jinyang also needs a breath of fresh air."
