Chapter 1399: The Emperor and His Ministers Confronted
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
In Bingzhou, inside Yanmen Pass, Gao Shun and Dian Wei had already assembled their troops. Huangfu Chaobo, guarded by generals Zhao Yun, hurriedly left the general's mansion in the pass. He originally wanted to stay at Yanmen Pass for a few days to observe carefully. After reviewing the situation in the pass, and then comforting the surrendered and captured Zhao soldiers, Huangfu Chaobo would like to go back to Wuliang Suhai to have a look if possible.
But now the plan did not change quickly. Just a few days after arriving at Yanmen Pass, an urgent report came from Youzhou. There was no other way. Huangfu Chaobo could only hurriedly arrange the defense of the northern counties, and then immediately set off to return to Jinyang to deal with it. After settling things in Jinyang, he had to prepare to return to Luoyang immediately.
On the square, two thousand soldiers from the trap camp and the iron wall camp were sitting on their horses. They were all riding three horses. Along the way, they changed horses without changing people, and rushed to Jinyang as quickly as possible.
With the help of Zhao Yun, Huangfu Chaobo climbed onto the horse. After sitting firmly on the horse, Huangfu Chaobo turned to look at Zhao Yun and others: "The safety of the north is left to the generals. I am waiting for you all in Luoyang." information."
Upon hearing this, everyone, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, bowed and responded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely guard the northern border for Your Majesty! Please return to the court with peace of mind!"
"Okay," Huangfu Chaobo nodded, and then said: "With Zilong and everyone here, I can return to Luoyang with peace of mind. If Yuan Shao dares to make any move, don't worry about anything, just send troops directly. The only way is to defeat him." He will calm down only when he is in pain and afraid of being beaten.”
"I respect your Majesty's will!" Zhao Yun once again bowed to accept the order;
"General Zhang, don't worry about training the wolf cavalry. Once the 10,000 wolf cavalry are ready, we can go south to Luoyang." After explaining Zhao Yun, Huangfu Chaobo turned to Zhang Liao again.
"No, Liao respects the order!" Zhang Liao quickly bowed and accepted the order.
"General Pingnan, I would like to have a nice chat with you, but time doesn't allow for it, so just go south to Jinyang with me. I'll have a good conversation with you along the way."
"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Zhang Yan quickly stepped forward, took the reins of the horse from his guard, got on his horse, and prepared to return to Jinyang with Huangfu Chaobo.
"Everyone, please go back. I will go first. After the northern border is stabilized, I will celebrate for you all in Luoyang!" After saying that, Huangfu Chaobo turned the horse's head, shouted loudly, and rode away in the direction outside Yanmen Pass.
"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Seeing this, everyone shouted in unison;
For a moment, the soldiers in the city also shouted in unison: "Best farewell to the king!"
Under the escort of two thousand soldiers and horses, Huangfu Chaobo did not stop along the way. He only rested for half an hour in Yuanping and Yuxian counties to change horses and eat some dry food, and then did not stop any more.
Zhang Yan felt very strange, and while Huangfu Chaobo was asking him to ask questions during the break, he cautiously asked: "Youzhou Kuhan is an enclave to us in the Tang Dynasty. Why is the king so worried?"
Huangfu Chaobo glanced at him and thought to himself that he was indeed not in his position and was not doing what he wanted. With Zhang Yan's IQ, if he was in a higher position, he should be able to figure it out, but now, he is still a little behind.
However, Huangfu Chaobo didn't care. According to actual records, Zhang Yan later surrendered to Cao Cao, and there was no recurrence after that. Moreover, the current Montenegro Army has been almost dismembered by himself. The Montenegro Army, which is known as a million-strong army, now only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Not only that, more than half of the famous generals in the Montenegro Army have now left the Montenegro Army on the recommendation of Zhang Yan.
Another point is that over the past few years, tens of thousands of the Black Mountain Army, which is said to be numbered one million, has moved from Leping County to Shangdang. From these aspects, Zhang Yan has completely surrendered to him, and there is nothing wrong with it. Disenchanted.
Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo was not too wary or repulsive towards Zhang Yan. After thinking about his problem for a while, Huangfu Chaobo felt that a little explanation to him would just enhance his sense of recognition.
"In General Zhang's opinion, what is the reason for the prosperity of our army in the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhang Yan was stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "The strength of our army in the Tang Dynasty, whether it is infantry or cavalry, is the best among all the princes in the world. Especially the cavalry, it is the best in the world, both in terms of the number of troops. The elite cavalry is the best among all the countries in the world."
"Now that the Xianbei army has returned to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the northern part of Bingzhou is about to fall into the hands of the Xianbei people. If we really lose the counties north of Yanmen and lose control of the north of Yanshan, then our cavalry can still maintain What’s the advantage now?”
After hearing Huangfu Chaobo's words, Zhang Yan was shocked. Yes, the counties north of Yanmen are now threatened by the Xianbei army. If there are any more problems in Youzhou, there will really be problems with Tang's war horses. As a result, within a few years, the Tang State's cavalry would have no horses to use.
"The king has seen thousands of miles! It's better for me to wait for you!" Zhang Yan stood up and bowed respectfully to Huangfu Chaobo.
"Okay, now the general knows what he has in mind. Don't spread it to outsiders. The general came to surrender that day. He was overjoyed for no apparent reason. For no other reason, he admired the general for his ability to level up a barren land in a county, yet he wanted to support millions of people in the Black Mountains. "
Huangfu Chaobo's words made Zhang Yan's face light up: "Your Majesty, Miao Praise, I'm just doing my best."
Huangfu Chaobo shook his hand: "It's not that I mentioned this on purpose, but I also started out in Luoyang City with everything in ruins and nothing. It was a dilapidated city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people to feed. You can’t understand hardships without experiencing them.”
When he mentioned the ruins of Luoyang, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered how he had mobilized hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops from all over the world to besiege Luoyang City, but in the end he had lost his troops and fled.
"The humble ministers were so frightened that they dared to call on the Yellow Turbans to besiege Luoyang because they were blind and ignorant. Fortunately, your Majesty..."
"Hey, general, there is no need to apologize. I don't want to blame you, I am just discussing the matter. If I really want to settle accounts, I won't say this to you. I mentioned this matter today just to express my emotion. It's just a hardship." Seeing Zhang Yan kneeling down to plead guilty, Huangfu Chaobo quickly reached out and helped him up.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. In fact, the reason why I mentioned this is to tell the general that in addition to the counties north of Yanmen, the Leping County where the general is guarding also needs to be on standby to pay attention to the movements of the Wei army at any time to prevent them. Raid on Leping.”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely defend to the death and will never let a single soldier of the Wei army enter Leping." Zhang Yan quickly expressed his position;
"As for Leping, Gu knows that the general has made preparations. But apart from Leping, the general also needs to pay attention to Shangdang in the south. Now most of Shangdang's troops have followed Gu into Taiyuan County. It can be said that the strength of the troops in Shangdang County is still The idea is empty. Before returning to Luoyang this time, I will definitely transfer some soldiers back to Shangdang, but Shangdang and Leping still have to watch and help each other. "
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely keep in touch with the Shangdang soldiers and horses to help each other."
Huangfu Chaobo nodded: "Well, there is one more thing. Now the other counties in Bingzhou have been tortured even more by Lu Bu. It can be said that almost nine of them are empty. And the Black Mountain Army still has many family members deep in the mountains. Life, so according to Gu's wishes, Aiqing can arrange for the family members of some soldiers to go to Taiyuan County for resettlement. Aiqing can rest assured that the placement of these personnel will be ordered by Gu Council to be arranged by Taiyuan County. If Aiqing is not at ease, he can also send People should pay more attention to it, and if anything goes wrong, report it to Gu at any time, and Gu will make the decision for them!”
At this time, Zhang Yan didn't understand what Huangfu Chaobo meant. Firstly, it was to increase the population of Taiyuan counties, and secondly, it could just weaken the strength of the Black Mountain Army. Fortunately, Zhang Yan had already taken root in the Tang Dynasty, so for Huangfu Chaobo was not dissatisfied with the arrangement and quickly agreed.
"Wei Chen thanks the king for his kindness. In this way, Wei Chen can rest assured about the military affairs. In fact, during this meeting, Wei Chen is preparing to ask the king to move the Black Mountain people to the Yanmen counties of Taiyuan."
With that said, Zhang Yanzhen took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Huangfu Chaobo. Huangfu Chaobo opened it and saw that it was a request to move 50,000 households in Leping to Taiyuan.
"Haha, okay, I didn't expect that our monarch and his ministers would go together. So I feel relieved. When someone brought this up, I was worried that Aiqing would think too much, okay, okay!"
