Chapter 881 Han Sui Is Very Frightened
After driving Yuan Shao away, they occupied all of Hebei. Shangdang County in Bingzhou and Henei became the territory of General Wang, and Zhang Yang followed Yuan Shao across the river and fled. The Black Mountain Army inside Taihang Mountain, as well as a large number of mountain people, were all captured and settled in various places.
Therefore, the overall strategic deployment also shifted from internal to external. In addition to the need for internal stability, a large number of troops were stationed inside, and a large number of troops were concentrated on the border. East of Taihang Mountain is on the Yellow River, and Shanxi crossed the Yellow River and advanced outward.
Previously, Guo Jia was stationed in Taiyuan because of the need for war. Because of the transmission of information, he had to dispatch troops on the battlefield and use his personal ability to ensure the correctness of decision-making and the success of action. This is the necessity of talent.
Now that the war is over and the internal worries are settled, Guo Jia is no longer in Taiyuan, but has moved to Shangjun (Yulin). In this way, he can stabilize Hexi, spy on Chang'an, and attack Liangzhou, which is convenient for dispatching. It is a relatively good place.
The army was also stationed in the outer areas of Shuofang and Shangjun, threatening the west, north and south.
Guo Jia's official position so far is still a military commander, and even the position of Yanmen prefect has been withdrawn. However, Guo Jia's power is quite large, leading the military and civil affairs of Bingzhou, which is equivalent to the Bingzhou governor of the Han Dynasty.
This is a stopgap measure during wartime. General Wang has not really started to reform the administrative units. The main reason is of course that there are not enough talents to take the lead. His real reform move is just to fix the administrative units at the township and pavilion levels. But for the states and counties at the next level, he has not started to reform.
Especially the state system, this must be changed. Because the territory of the state is too large, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, that is, there are only thirteen highest local leaders. Even if the military power is not given, the power of acting as a civil official is already too great, which is definitely wrong.
The existence of weak states, turning the thirteen states into thirty states, this is a must. It is not good to use more officials to share power and prevent one person's power from being over-concentrated, thereby breeding ambitions that should not exist and matching power.
Of course, Wang Yan is definitely not afraid. Let alone thirteen states, even if it is three states, there are only three people who control local military and political affairs. What waves can these three people make?
He considers the overall security and the harmony between the central and local governments to prevent any brainless subordinates from going crazy and trying to usurp the throne, causing disasters to innocent people.
Local officials cannot manage the people and the army. If there are warlords, there will be chaos, and if there is chaos, the country will be destroyed. This is the experience summed up by the blood of dynasties in the past, but this kind of thing will still happen later, because the master is weak and the ministers are strong. Or it is because the master is relatively strong and overconfident.
So Guo Jia's arrangement for Wang Yan is a transitional move. But to a certain extent, this is also a bad start. Because words are spoken by people, if the world is still running after Wang Yan is gone, his descendants will be weak, and maybe someone will make suggestions. When Taizu conquered the world, he appointed Guo Jia as the military governor and temporarily took charge of Bingzhou affairs. Now we can appoint another military governor to govern several places to solve the current crisis...
Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu and Zhang Liao sitting in front of him and said, "The general has ordered that the two generals lead their troops to the west to eliminate the barbarians in the north and stabilize the two places. The policy is the same as Yuan Jian, only killing the tribal leaders and the brave who refuse to surrender. There is no need to kill indiscriminately, and do not advance rashly, so as to fall into the enemy's treacherous plan and lose soldiers and generals."
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and looked uneasy. What he hated to hear most was "plans". There was no other reason, but he had too many plans in his half-life.
He was trusted and valued by Wang Yan. He had a rare stability and good food and drink. Although there were not so many treasures, the family was not restricted by food and drink, and they ate much better than when he was in Luoyang and Chang'an.
So when he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but look back at the first half of his life. Everything couldn't stand thinking about, because many things that he ignored at the time would come back to him after thinking about them. So when he looked back, it was all bits and pieces, and people were fooling him like a fool. So he was quite disgusted and particularly hated it when he heard any plan.
Now Guo Jia said these things, wasn't it just for him to hear, of course he was unhappy.
But he also knew that he was really not good before, and he cupped his hands: "Sir, there is no need to say more, I am now a lieutenant under the general, and I should obey orders. Besides, I have been promoted since I was a child, and I understand the laws and regulations in the army, and the general's purpose of using troops is clear, so why bother to talk to me more."
Guo Jia didn't say anything, he did give Lu Bu some instructions alone. With a polite smile, he nodded and said, "Jia knows that the general is different today, but honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, so you have to say it when you have to. The general is confident."
Turning over a chapter, he continued, "There is no rush to use troops in Liangzhou this time. The previous attack on Yuan consumed a lot of money, and the newly acquired Jizhou consumed a huge amount of money to ensure the safety of the people in Jizhou. Although the harvest is good this year, the accumulation is not enough, so it is not suitable for a big war. Moreover, Liangzhou is far away, and it is too wasteful to raise a large army to conquer it, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, the two generals need to be like Yuan Jian, guerrilla warfare against Han Sui, and consume vitality.
It is naturally better to destroy Han Sui, but even if Han Sui cannot be destroyed, driving him far away to the Western Regions, or making him surrender to the Central Plains, is also a success. If there is no accident, taking Xiliang only relies on the strength of the two generals. If there is a change in the middle of the way, I will send two more guards to help. When the two generals go to Beidi and Anding, I will lead the civilian officials to govern.
Youzhou is thousands of miles away. Although food and fodder are on the way, it will take three months to deliver. Therefore, after arriving in Liangzhou, food and fodder must be raised locally. The loss of soldiers is difficult to replenish for the time being. The general has ordered that the barbarians can be recruited locally. If necessary, the barbarians can be rolled up to form an army of tens of thousands, but the military discipline must be clear. If the two generals have no objection, the troops should be dispatched quickly. "
Lv Bu and Zhang Liao looked at each other, stood up and saluted Guo Jia. Guo Jia also stood up and returned the salute, and then the two turned around and left Guo Jia's mansion.
"Wenyuan, Beidi and Anding, which one do you choose?"
"Of course, the general will choose first. "Zhang Liao responded with a smile.
Earlier, he and Lu Bu had a dependent relationship. Although he is now on the same level as Lu Bu and both are titled lieutenants, he still maintains considerable respect for Lu Bu and is neither arrogant nor impatient.
In fact, Zhang Liao is quite good. He followed Lu Bu until he was defeated and captured, and then he was recruited by Cao Cao. He did his best. Moreover, Zhang Liao has a real historical status. He is a person who has entered the Temple of Martial Arts.
Lu Bu has let go of everything now. He doesn't contact his former subordinates much. It's good to be safe and stable. Diao Chan also gave him a son, and his mentality has changed. He has no objection to Zhang Liao being on the same level as him now. He has always known that Zhang Liao has the ability.
Zhang Liao said that, he didn't feel anything. It doesn't matter where we fight. He smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will go to Anding and you will go to the north. The two of us will support each other and inform each other in time. Don't be surrounded by barbarians and fall into danger. "
"That's right. "Zhang Liao laughed.
It was he who proposed to join Wang Yan. Lv Bu was very comfortable now, so he was naturally more comfortable.
Because there is absolutely no such good boss as Wang Yan in the world. He is truly unscrupulous and trusts his employees.
The simplest point is that the families of senior officers in the army are transferred with the troops. There is no saying that they are outside and leave their families as hostages with Wang Yan. And the treatment of their families is also very good. Some families have to farm, and some families do some production management work.
For example, his wife and Lv Bu's wives and concubines are all in the factory here, managing the work of female workers. Other officers, some are working as pavilion chiefs, some are civil servants in the county, and some are teaching. The treatment is also very good, enough for a family to live well.
How could they know that General Wang did not have enough people under him, and the families of these officers were all well-off and all literate. Moreover, he had intended to train women, and the students in the school were both male and female. These women were also a force and must not be idle.
But no matter what, General Wang was indeed a good boss, there was no doubt about that, whether now or in modern times. After all, in real life, the "China Longteng Group" has become a paradise that everyone yearns for, a famous retirement paradise. Because his boss Wang is a true communist style, and the system of lifelong arrangements before the reform and opening up. Of course, the conditions are getting higher and higher now. If he, the boss, applies for a job, it is difficult to get in, and the required level is getting higher and higher...
Immediately, the two found stability under General Wang and felt The generals, who were comfortable and enjoying happiness, mounted their horses and rushed with their men for two days to the place where the troops were stationed. They ordered the army to reorganize and move west tomorrow.
As usual, the troops scattered in various places slaughtered all the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs they raised, and the whole army ate meat. At the same time, they maintained the weapons and armor, packed their luggage, and prepared for the march.
On the second day, after breakfast, the two teams broke camp and set off. The two guards were not stationed near each other, and the targets of attack were different, so naturally they did not act together, but the more than 6,000 people in one guard were already mighty.
Taking into account the terrain, population and other reasons here, and the fact that a considerable number of war horses were seized after defeating Yuan Shao, the troops led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao each had 3,000 cavalry, and they were all equipped with two horses per person.
The most critical Yes, among the three thousand cavalry, there are 500 cavalrymen who have studied with Liao Hua for three years. They serve as officers and lead the rest of the soldiers. There is also Lu Bu, the ceiling player of the combat effectiveness of the ceiling of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhang Liao, a first-class general goalkeeper. With their leadership, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as Liao Hua's elite cavalry, it is also quite fierce...
The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang Hu, etc. in Bingzhou have been driven away long ago. The Baibo Army was also cleared out before and fled in all directions. Unlike the Baibo Army, some of the Xiongnu and other barbarians ran to the grassland, and some ran to Liangzhou. Liangzhou originally had many ethnic minorities, and there were more exchanges between the Hu and Han here. In addition, the Han Dynasty has always been strong, and many ethnic minorities have naturalized.
Over time, intermarriage has become natural. Combining various situations, the situation in Liangzhou is more complicated, and compared with the original Liangzhou, the current Liangzhou actually has a larger population.
It was because of the Xiongnu people who were beaten by Wang Yan and the Xianbei people who were chased on the grassland that the population of Liangzhou, which originally had only 400,000 people, has now exceeded one million, all of whom are foreigners. This has made Liangzhou today more glorious.
This is also one of the reasons why Han Sui wanted to return to Liangzhou. Liangzhou still has some strength now. Moreover, he has a good relationship with these people and can use them.
All this was indirectly achieved by General Wang...
But Han Sui didn't feel good, because he thought that Wang Da the traitor had no interest in paying attention to a small character like him, and should go to fight Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, conquer Henan, then conquer Jiangnan, and then simply ascend the throne to become emperor. Anyway, he would definitely do this if he were in his place.
But who could have thought that Wang Da the traitor had a brain twitch and sent an army to fight his poor Han, and sent Lu Bu, the invincible general in the world. Is this something a human can do?
Yes, he has received the news. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led the army to attack Beidi and Anding counties. Although the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other tribes there organized resistance and pulled out an army of more than 10,000 people, they collapsed in one battle. Not only that, with Wang Yan's order, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao tacitly killed the officers of the defeated soldiers, and then rolled up the defeated soldiers into an army, with a direct force of more than 10,000.
The two of them used their own troops and horses, rolled up the barbarian soldiers, and the soldiers were promoted to the captains on the spot. Under the leadership of the military commander, they ruled with high pressure while preaching the policies of General Wang. The effect was quite good.
Nothing else, the main reason was that this set was too advanced. And the most important thing was that they did not draw a big picture. Although there was inevitably a certain vision, they actually knew that if they surrendered to Wang Yan, their lives would be much better, but they had never felt it.
In fact, if there was a chance, they would not object to surrendering to Wang Yan. But whether they were Han people or foreigners, whether they were ancient people or modern people, they all had one thing in common, that is, compromise, cowardice and fear, and they liked to hide behind the warriors and talk nonsense.
Even in the chaos of the world like now, there are still only a few people who dare to chop the boss. A person who is unarmed and has a lot of prestige can scare hundreds of people who are ruled with sharp blades. What's more, the elite forces are all with the rulers, and they dare not rebel even more.
Now the soldiers living under Wang Yan's rule are speaking out from their own experience, and with a knife on their heads, they have no choice but to believe.
So Lü Bu and Zhang Liao are rapidly clearing the opposition forces in Beidi and Anding counties, killing high-ranking figures, and starting to rule these two places. That speed, that strength, and the accumulated reputation make Han Sui angry and terrified...
Cheng Gongying, who had been an envoy to Youzhou and met Wang Da, the traitor, saw the state of the big boss and good friend, and said: "My lord, don't worry. Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Youzhou. Liangzhou is poor, and Wang Yan will not raise a large army to expedition. Now Lü Bu and Zhang Liao have brought 15,000 troops here, which is enough. It will be more costly to increase the troops.
So we only need to deal with Lü Bu and Zhang Liao. No matter how strong Lü Bu is, he is rootless. I have the advantage of the land and the harmony of the people. I don't seek a quick victory, but I seek not to be defeated. This can also paralyze Wang Yan, so that he will not pay attention to Liangzhou and will not be angry. In this way, even if we fight for ten years, what can he do to me?"
