In April, the two prefectures, Xu and sun, were captured by the two and a half soldiers in the west of the river.
Zhang Yan personally led the 50000 army as the backup, and sun Qing was in high spirits.
At the same time, Liu Ye leads the army all the way south, and has arrived in Taiyuan County, Jinyang.
"General, the population of Bingzhou is no more than 600000, but the general escorted 100000 Han slaves back from the Huns. Some of them have built houses in the northern counties of Bingzhou and divided their administrative areas. Over time, Bingzhou will add 30000 more elite soldiers and provide tens of thousands of stones for the general every year."
The middle-aged man standing in front of Liu Ye has three long beards under his jaw and his back is straight. He is the son of Fazhen. He has been appointed by Liu Ye as the newly appointed FA Yan of Bingzhou.
Liu Ye nodded: "well, don't drive. Liu has three things to tell you. Listen carefully."
FA Yan bowed down and bowed his hand and said respectfully, "please tell me the general. FA must remember it in mind."
"Well, listen to me: first of all, Bingzhou has been in war for a long time, and the people are in dire straits. Therefore, we should appoint wise officials instead of exploiting the people. The tax on grain should be 1 / 15.
Second, the key to political affairs is to get people. The land of Bingzhou is vast and no one cultivates it. Now, the generals led the army to expel Xiongnu. The land in the north of Bingzhou is vast, which can be divided into land for common people and encourage fertility.
Third, if there are bandits in Bingzhou, you can ask Wen hou to go south and have peace of mind. "
In fact, the three decrees given by Liu Ye are mainly one to recuperate. Bingzhou was originally a relatively desolate state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. It was almost the same as Liangzhou and Jiaozhou. With a small population and vast land, it could become a densely populated place sooner or later as long as we make good use of it.
"No, please don't worry. In ten years, Yan will try his best to make Bingzhou a comfortable place." FA Yan promised.
"Well." Liu Ye nods, and outside comes Guan Hai's voice.
"General, Mr. Wenhe, please."
FA Yan was very witty: "general, in this case, let's leave for the time being."
Liu Ye says, FA Yan goes out, and Jia Xu enters the hall and gives Liu Ye a bow.
"General."
"Wenhe, what's the urgent military situation? Did Xu He mobilize his troops to attack Hulao? "
Jia Xu shook his head: "that's not true. It's just that we may encounter some obstacles on our way to the south."
Liu Ye's brow frowned: "is it that Zhang Yan also sent troops to embarrass me?"
The black mountain army has been deeply rooted in the border area between Bingzhou and Jizhou. It is said that there are millions of black mountain army, among which the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled are the majority. However, the strength of the black mountain army should not be underestimated.
After all, the millions of black mountain army, even if only one tenth of them are young people, will pull out 100000 troops.
"Well, it's a pity that Zhang Yan was not killed by one shot in the Yellow turban rebellion. Otherwise, would there be such a disaster today?" Liu Ye snorted.
Jia Xu said with a smile: "general, this is not true. Even if there is no Zhang Yan, there are Wang Yan and Li Yan. But surely the general has a plan in his mind."
Liu Ye nodded: "in this case, let Jizhou governor Han Fu lead the army to attack the side of the black mountain army, and let the black mountain army attack head and tail."
"Well, we have the emperor in our army. We just need to ask the emperor to issue an edict. Isn't Han Fu going to send troops obediently?" Jia Xu smiles.
"By the way, has yuan Benchu had any news recently?" Liu Ye suddenly remembers and asks.
"Yuan's ambition is not small. He has been recruiting troops and horses in the two counties of Bohai Sea. Now, I'm afraid, 30000 troops have been gathered." Jia Xu's face was slightly dignified.
"Thirty thousand people?" Liu Ye frowned the same way: "with only two counties, there are 30000 troops. Even if Jizhou is densely populated, Yuan Shao's monthly military expenditure is not small."
"Do you need to remind Han Fu? Let him be careful of Yuan Shao? " Jia Xu suggested.
Liu Ye nodded: "well, let Han Fu be careful. Although Yuan Shao's two counties are not under his command, there are 30000 soldiers and horses, which can be called a strong army. There is no one in Hebei but Gongsun Bosi who can compete with him."
In the original history, it was Yuan Shao who invaded Jizhou, and then defeated Gongsun Zan to occupy Hebei Province. At one time, Cao Cao was unable to hold his head up.
Unfortunately, Liu Ye is in a hurry to lead his troops south to pacify Xu he. He has no mind to deal with him.
"Yes." Liu Ye suddenly said: "I heard that Liu Youzhou and Gongsun Zan have always been entangled?"
Although it was a good idea to deal with the two people of Yu huaizhou, they had a long history of fighting against sun Huairou
Through Liu Ye's network of spies all over the world, Jia Xu knows the situation all over the world like the palm of one's hand. He is a man of wisdom and resourcefulness. By analyzing the situation of the world through the information he has mastered, Jia Xu is even more powerful.Liu Ye pondered for a while and said, "in this case, don't let Gongsun Zan idle. Isn't his white horse justice the best in the world? Ask him to lead his troops to the South and enter Qingzhou from Beihai County, and work together with brother Meng De to wipe out the Yellow turban of Qingzhou. "
"Nuo, I will send someone to ask the emperor to send the imperial edict to Han Fu and Gongsun Zan as soon as possible."
"Well, where is sun Qing now?" Liu Ye stands up and goes to the map.
Jia Xu stepped forward and stopped in Wenxi County, Hedong county.
"Sun Qing led 20000 troops all the way to the west, and now has captured Pingyang County. The front of the army points to Wenxi County, the northern barrier of Hedong county. Our army is relatively well prepared in Hedong. It is estimated that sun qingsuo's headquarters are sending troops to encircle Wenxi County, which is still a long way from Anyi." Jia Xu's right way.
Liu Ye looks at Wen Xi and Anyi counties, which are less than 30 li away from the map, and his face gradually becomes firm.
"Good! In this case, our army quickly went south, arrived in Wenxi County within two days, defeated sun Qingjun, and then entered Luoyang to stabilize the people in Guanzhong. After meeting with general Wenze, we could prepare to go out of Hulao pass in the East and fight against Xu and millions of yellow turban thieves to wipe out the Central Plains! "
"In this case, Xu sent a letter to Han Fu and Gongsun Zan, asking Han Jizhou to send troops to attack the flank of the black mountain army, so that Zhang Yan could not send troops to help sun Qing." Jia Xu bowed his head and arched his hands, and immediately stepped out of the camp.
Liu Ye stands in front of the map, stands with his hands down and shakes his head for a moment.
"When will we have to wait for the world to be pacified?"
