Chapter 364 Center Scheduling

On April 15th, after Xu He's request, Zhang Yan led his young commander, Sun Qing, out of Xihe County to the west, and pointed directly at Hedong and Pingyang counties. The cities were all captured.

Zhang Yan personally led an army of 50,000 as backup, and Sun Qing was in high spirits.

At the same time, Liu Ye led his army all the way south without stopping, and had already arrived at Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

"General, Bingzhou has gone through wars and has a population of only 600,000. However, the general escorted 100,000 Hannu back from the Xiongnu. A certain man has built houses in the northern counties of Bingzhou and divided them into administrative offices. In time, Bingzhou will add another 30,000 elite soldiers. It is not difficult for the general to provide grain and grass tens of thousands of shi every year."

The middle-aged man standing in front of Liu Ye had three long beards under his chin and a straight back. He was the son of Fazhen, who was appointed by Liu Ye as the new Fayan of Bingzhou.

Liu Ye nodded: "It's easy to say, don't worry, Liu has three things to tell you now, listen carefully."

Fa Yan bent down and cupped his hands, respectfully said: "Please tell me, General, Famou will definitely remember it in his heart."

"Well, it's easy to say, and you listen carefully: First, Bingzhou has suffered from wars for a long time, and the people are suffering. We must appoint wise officials and not exploit the people. The grain tax is one-fifteenth.

Second, the key to government is to win people. The land in Bingzhou is vast and uncultivated. Now the general leads his army to drive out the Xiongnu.

Third, without my order, there is no need to go to war. If there are bandits running rampant in Bingzhou, you can ask Marquis Wen to go south to give birth with peace of mind. "

The three government orders given by Liu Ye are actually one of the main ones, to recuperate. Bingzhou was originally a relatively desolate state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, similar to Liangzhou and Jiaozhou, with a sparse population and vast land. As long as it is well utilized, sooner or later can become densely populated.

"No, please rest assured, general, within ten years, Yan will do his best to manage Bingzhou into a safe place." Fa Yan promised.

"En." Liu Ye nodded, and Guan Hai's voice came from outside the door.

"General, Mr. Wenhe, please see me."

Fa Yan was very savvy: "General, since this is the case, I will resign for the time being."

Liu Ye hummed, Fa Yan walked out, while Jia Xu walked into the hall and bowed to Liu Ye.

"General."

"Wenhe, is there any urgent military situation recently? Did Xu He mobilize troops to attack Hulao?"

Jia Xu shook her head: "That's not true, it's just that we may have encountered a little obstacle on our way south."

Liu Ye frowned: "Could it be that Zhang Yan also sent troops to embarrass me?"

The Black Mountain Army has always been entrenched in the border area of ​​Bingzhou and Jizhou, and is deeply rooted. It is said that the Black Mountain Army claims to have millions of people, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but they are also powerful and cannot be underestimated.

After all, even if only one-tenth of the Montenegrin army is young and middle-aged, it will be a hundred thousand troops.

"Hmph, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it's a pity that the general didn't shoot Zhang Yan to death, otherwise how could there be such a big disaster today?" Liu Ye snorted.

Jia Xu smiled: "The general's words are wrong. Even if there is no Zhang Yan, there are Wang Yan and Li Yan, but the general must have a plan in mind?"

Liu Ye nodded: "In this case, let the governor of Jizhou, Han Fu, lead his army to attack the Black Mountain Army, and then let the Black Mountain Army attack from head to tail."

"Well, our army has the emperor in hand. We just need to ask the emperor to issue an edict. Isn't Han Fu going to send troops obediently?" Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"By the way, what happened to Yuan Benchu ​​recently?" Liu Ye suddenly remembered, and then asked.

"Yuan Benchu's ambition is not small. He has been recruiting troops in the two counties of Bohai Sea. Now I am afraid that he has gathered 30,000 troops." Jia Xu looked a little dignified.

"30,000 people?" Liu Ye also frowned: "There are 30,000 troops in just two counties. Even if Jizhou is densely populated, Yuan Shao's monthly military expenditure is not a small number."

"Do you need to remind Han Fu? Tell him to be careful with Yuan Shao?" Jia Xu suggested.

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, it's good to let Han Fu be careful. Although Yuan Shao has only two counties under his command, he has 30,000 soldiers and horses, which can be called a strong army. Except for Gongsun Bosi, no one in Hebei can do it. against it."

In the original history, it was Yuan Shao who invaded Jizhou, and then defeated Gongsun Zan, sitting in the land of Hebei, which once overwhelmed Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Liu Ye was in a hurry to lead troops south to pacify Xu He, so he didn't care about him anymore.

"That's right." Liu Ye suddenly said, "I heard that Liu Youzhou and Gongsun Zan have always had entanglements?"

"That's right. Liu Yu is well-known in Youzhou. He advocates a soft policy against the Hu people, while Gongsun Zan uses white horse righteousness to suppress the Wuhuan people bloody. The conflict between the two has a long history. Although Liu Yu is from Youzhou Mu, Gongsun Zan is the prefect of Beiping but has a strong army, so he is suspected of being bullied, and the conflict between the two has been very deep these years."

Through Liu Ye's network of spies all over the world, Jia Xu knows everything about the situation in the world.

Liu Ye pondered for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, then don't let Gongsun Zan idle. Hasn't his Baimayi been the best in the world? Ask him to lead his troops south, from Beihai County to Qingzhou, and go south and north with Brother Mengde." Let's work together to wipe out the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou."

"No, I will send someone to ask for the edict from the emperor, and deliver it to Han Fu and Gongsun Zan as soon as possible."

"Well, where is Sun Qing now?" Liu Ye stood up and walked to Yutu.

Jia Xu stepped forward, slid her finger lightly, and stopped at Wenxi County in Hedong County.

"Sun Qing led an army of 20,000 troops and marched westward all the way. Now he has captured Pingyang County. The soldiers are pointing directly at Wenxi County, the northern barrier of Hedong County. Our army's defenses in Hedong are relatively complete. It is estimated that Sun Qing's troops are currently sending troops to besiege Wenxi County. Xi County is still some distance away from Anyi." Jia Xu said seriously.

Liu Ye looked at Wenxi and Anyi counties, which were only thirty miles apart on the map, and his expression gradually became firm.

"Okay! If that's the case, our army will go south quickly, arrive at Wenxi County within two days, defeat Sun Qingjun in one go, and then enter Luoyang Anding Pass. Xu and the millions of Yellow Turbans will fight to the death to destroy the Central Plains!"

"Since that's the case, Xu is going to write 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 can't send troops to help Sun Qing." Jia Xu lowered his head and cupped his hands, and immediately strode out of the camp.

Liu Ye stood in front of Tutu with his hands behind his back, and shook his head after a while.

"Peace the world, when will I have to wait?"
