Great Military Division

Chapter 400 If this is not possible, this official will not leave!
Somewhere in the Taihang Mountains.

In a lush forest, a winding path.

Dong Zhao held up his trousers, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and glanced at the man next to him: "How far is it before we arrive?"

Tao Sheng frowned, and said softly: "There are about two miles to go, the mountain road is more difficult to walk, let's persevere, as long as we can find the barrier, we should be there."

"kindness."

Dong Zhao gave a simple acknowledgment and sighed: "There are only about two miles left, so it's not too late. Let's continue on our way. Now Yuan Shao is attacking Jicheng. If we can hurry up, we should hurry up."

"it is good."

Tao Sheng hurriedly nodded and responded: "In that case, let's hurry up and leave."

Right now, Tao Sheng was leading the way, and the left and right soldiers protected him and connected him with hemp rope to prevent him from escaping. After all, the other party was far more familiar with Taihang Mountain than Dong Zhao.

About another quarter of an hour or so.

suddenly.

There was a rustling sound in the forest.

The guards on the left and right immediately became vigilant, protected Dong Zhao and Tao Sheng in the middle, and drew their swords to face each other, strictly guarding against them.

In the next second, more than a dozen farmers wearing coarse linen clothes and holding long swords, sticks and other weapons rushed out of the forest, surrounded them, and faced each other with swords and soldiers.

The power of water and fire is about to explode!
Tao Sheng immediately raised his hand, and shouted loudly: "Dare to ask, brothers, but are the soldiers and horses under Zuo Moustache Baqu Commander's tent? I call them Tao Sheng, and they are the envoys of Nanyang Hanting."

"Nanyang Hanting envoy?"

A voice rang out from the team.

Immediately.

A burly man stepped out from the crowd. The man held a long sword and walked steadily, which was obviously extraordinary.

Tao Sheng hurriedly nodded and bowed: "That's right, it is the Nanyang Hanting envoy, and this is Dong Zhao. He was the county magistrate in Nanmianchi before, and now he is the chief secretary under Liu Huangshu's account."

"Now, under the order of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, I went up the mountain specially to find Zhang Yan and talk about recruiting security. Your Majesty is very concerned about our brothers in the Black Mountain Army!"

At this moment, Dong Zhao immediately took out the official seal that he carried with him: "Brother, this is my official official seal. If you don't believe me, you can pass this to Qu Shuai, and we will meet after identifying it."

The man took the official seal, turned it over, adjusted it, and looked at it carefully. He didn't know the crooked font on it, but he always felt that this small official seal seemed extraordinary.

"Are you really an official of Nanyang Hanting?"

"Yes, exactly."

"Okay! Since you said you are an official of Nanyang Hanting, then I will ask you, if you answer wrong, be careful with your head."

"I can't ask for it."

Dong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, this matter was simply as easy as flipping the palm of his hand.

"What happened to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang during the battle at Luoyang North Gate?"

"Luoyang North Gate?"

This problem has long been known all over the world.

Dong Zhao pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and said confidently: "This question is easy. When His Majesty was in Luoyang, he was besieging the remnants of Dong Zhuo headed by Lu Bu."

"It was the time when Lu Bu took the lead and wanted to break through the defense of the imperial army at the north gate. Lu Bu's bravery was unmatched by anyone in the world. The battle at the north gate resulted in a stalemate for a while."

"But at this moment, the Xiamen Bridge suddenly collapsed, causing the soldiers and horses on the bridge to fall into the river. Lv Bu was terrified, so he abandoned his troops and fled with only a few hundred soldiers and horses. Finally, at the foot of Mt. Mang, Cao Cao captured."

Dong Zhao originally thought that the other party would nod and praise repeatedly, saying that his explanation was quite detailed, and he was obviously an insider of Nanyang, and there was absolutely no problem.

but who ever thought
The other party smiled and interrupted immediately: "Although you are generally correct, the details are obviously wrong. As far as I know, the sky was originally clear for thousands of miles, but suddenly it was dark and the sun and the moon lost their light."

"Following that, dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A giant silver dragon hovered in the sky, roaring like dragons, and then plunged into the Xiamen Bridge, blasting it away."

"what?"

Dong Zhao's head suddenly became bigger.

Only then did he realize that the correct answer that the other party thought was the correct answer and the correct answer he knew were two completely different answers. You had to follow the other party's train of thought to say it, so that it could be correct.

"and!"

Fang Yizheng said, "You still missed what happened the next day, which is enough to prove that you are definitely not an official of Nanyang Hanting!"

"Come here, give it to me"

"Wait a minute!"

Dong Zhao interrupted hastily: "Listen to me, General. My description was wrong before. I mainly want to see if you know the specific details. It's just a test."

"Oh?"

The other party was obviously confused by Dong Zhao's words: "Then tell me what happened the next day. If you are wrong, be careful that we will chop you up and throw you into the wilderness to feed the wolves."

"can!"

Dong Zhao nodded without hesitation, and continued, "Actually, you must not know that a miracle happened in Mangshan on the night of the great victory over Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si."

"What kind of miracle is it?"

There was light in the other man's eyes.

"You should be clear."

Dong Zhao took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, to adjust his emotions: "The people buried in Mangshan are all the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, from Emperor Guangwu to His Majesty's father, Liu Hong, all of them are included. .”

"In the middle of the night, hundreds of tombs shone with shimmering light. Souls who had been sleeping for a long time came out of the tombs. They came to His Majesty's barracks and gathered around His Majesty who was sleeping soundly. Bow down and salute."

"You will know."

Dong Zhao deliberately said emotionally: "Why are the ancestors of the great Han all descended from His Majesty the current emperor, do you want to bow to His Majesty?"

The man quickly shook his head: "I don't know, please let me know."

Dong Zhao looked solemn and serious, "Because your majesty is the first emperor who is astonishing in the past and the present. He is the emperor chosen by heaven to surpass the emperors of Qin, Han and Wu."

"Although these emperors are all His Majesty's elders, this is just a seniority in the human world, but in the God Realm, His Majesty's position is far superior to them."

"That's why, when His Majesty came to Heluo again, they did it just now. They all assisted His Majesty the Emperor to ensure that he can quickly quell the chaos, restore the mountains and rivers, and save the people of the world from suffering."

"And after His Majesty woke up, according to the guidance of the ancestors, he successfully found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. At the same time, he planned to return to Nanyang, returned to the palace, and embarked on the road to save the common people from fire and water."

"what?"

The man opposite frowned and asked tentatively, "You're telling the truth? Why do you feel that what I learned is a little different? But the result is correct."

"Of course not."

Dong Zhao, on the other hand, was very confident. He patted his chest and assured him: "What you have learned is only superficial after all. How can this official understand it in depth? This is the fact. All the officials in Nanyang Hanting know it."

"Of course, this official is just a small pass. Officials like Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhong Yao will definitely have a deeper understanding of the situation. One day, you can ask Zhang Yanqu to go and understand your majesty back then."

Tao Sheng hastily echoed: "That's right, we have been drilling in the woods all day long, how could we possibly know what the real truth is, what this official said must be better than you, right?"

"That's true."

The man nodded: "It is indeed more detailed than me."

Tao Sheng laughed and said, "Isn't that right? You report to Zuo Mustache Zhangba immediately. If you know that the envoy from the Nanyang court is coming, Brother Zhangba will definitely treat you with hospitality."

"Ok."

When the man thinks about it carefully, he is right.

Nowadays, the grand occasion of Nanyang is widely rumored in the Black Mountain Army, and everyone yearns for Nanyang. If they know that the Nanyang court sent an envoy to come to our Black Mountain Army, they will naturally welcome them with both hands.

"Come with me."

"it is good."

At that moment, everyone followed the man, zigzagging all the way, rushing toward deeper depths.

Soon.

Then came to a barrier.

After passing the notification, they entered it and went straight to the simple meeting hall.

Fortunately, Tao Sheng had introduced Zuo Miaozhangba in advance, otherwise Dong Zhao would have been terrified.

The person at the head was sitting upright, as tall as a hill, even if he was sitting, he was no shorter than the person standing beside him, if he stood up, he would have to be at least ten feet away.

Although this person's appearance is very ordinary, being able to be the commander-in-chief of one party has already proved the strength of the other party, at least in the Black Mountain Army, he is a top existence.

"Your Excellency is the envoy of Nanyang Hanting?"

Before Dong Zhao could speak, Zuo Miao Zhangba couldn't wait.

For Dong Zhao, this is indeed good news. It proves that the Black Mountain Army is very close to Nanyang.

"Yes."

Dong Zhao nodded and nodded: "Uncle Liu's tent is the long history."

Zuo Miaozhangba's eyes flickered: "Oh? But that Uncle Liu Huang of Xinye Ling, the one who won the Tiangui Zhongxing Sword last year?"

Dong Zhao was ecstatic in his heart. He didn't expect that the information the other party knew was relatively complete: "Yes, it is this person, but I don't know Qu Shuai. How did he know Uncle Liu Huang?"

Zuo Miaozhang looked joyful, and said honestly: "It was Guo Daxian who said it. Last year, he went to Nanyang to take the exam, but he just failed."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhao was astonished, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "In the Black Mountain Army, there are still people who have taken the exam?"

Zuo Miaozhang nodded: "Of course, Guo Daxian is one of the few scholars in our Montenegro Army, otherwise how could we call him Daxian?"

"According to what he said, every family in Nanyang can cultivate public land, and the yield per mu has reached two stones and two buckets? Dare I ask the angel, is this right?"

The corners of Dong Zhao's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared: "Shuai Qu, the news you learned was already last year. The latest data this year shows that the yield per mu has reached four stones and five buckets."

"what?"

Zuo mustache stood up in a hurry, and a shadow directly covered him: "How much? Four stones and five buckets? How is this possible?"

Dong Zhao remained calm and said with absolute certainty, "That's right, it's four stones and five buckets. Because His Majesty invented chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu has greatly increased, which is already double that of last year."

"According to the data given by the imperial court, the common people who cultivate the public land can still get more than two shi per mu even without the imperial court's taxes. Now every household is not short of food."

"Two stones?"

Zuo Miao Zhangba couldn't believe his ears: "There are no land in the mountains, not to mention two stones, but there are no stones and five buckets. This year is even more miserable, with only about eight buckets."

"Nanyang people's yield per mu, regardless of taxes, can actually reach two shi? A family planting [-] acres of land is equivalent to [-] shi of grain. If there is more to eat, you can save it and sell it for some money."

"This day is simply"

Zuo Miaozhangba seems to be able to imagine the days of thick corn porridge. One bite, the porridge has more water and less water, and you can be full after eating two bowls, instead of being full of porridge like now, barely starving to death.

Dong Zhao felt that the time was very ripe, and immediately said: "Shuai Qu, I am here this time to represent the imperial court and discuss with the Montenegro army about recruiting security."

"You were originally ordinary people, but because you couldn't bear the oppression, you had no choice but to enter the mountains as thieves. The court understands your difficulties, so it is willing to cultivate land for you, so that you can eat well and wear warm like the people of Nanyang. "

Zuo Miao Zhangba was naturally very happy about this: "Can the Nanyang court really do this?"

Dong Zhao nodded with great certainty: "Naturally! Your Majesty has said that all the people in the world are my fellow citizens, and the right to life is the most basic right he wants to protect when he is emperor."

"Furthermore, according to His Majesty's plan, in the world in the future, not only can everyone have food and clothing, but also eat well, dress well, and all children can study, pass exams, and become officials in the court."

hiss-!
Zuo Miaozhangba was surprised and gasped: "What? Everyone can pass the exam and become an official in the court? Can even our children do the same?"

"Of course!"

Dong Zhao nodded with great certainty: "Just like Guo Daxian in the Black Mountain Army, anyone who is a citizen of a big man can sign up for the assessment."

"Moreover, as long as you complete the exam questions, you can enter the court and become an official. I also came from the exam class, and I am not from a wealthy family. Nanyang is a truly fair place."

"The comparison here is not about background, but about talent and learning. As long as your children can study hard, they will have the opportunity to become officials in the court in the future. Even if they can't make it to the center, they may be able to be officials in the local area."

Zuo Miao Zhangba was amazed: "This is the real peace and prosperity! Well, I can recommend it for you, and I will set off for Zhang Qushuai's residence early tomorrow morning."

Dong Zhao was overjoyed, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Shuai Qu."

Zuo Miao Zhangba hurriedly waved his hand: "Angels are polite, I should thank you! If you had come earlier, I would have been able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering sooner, not like now."

"Don't worry about him."

Dong Zhao reassured: "Since I am here this time, if this matter fails, I will definitely not leave."

Zuo mustache Zhangba was moved: "Thank you angel!"

*****
Thistle City.

Wearing armor, Liu Yu stood at the top of the city and raised his eyes to look out of the city. Seeing the retreating Wuhuan Tuqi, he was so anxious and terrified that he clenched his iron fists and subconsciously beat on the top of the city:
"Damn!"

Liu Yu cursed secretly, then glanced back at his military adviser Wei You, and at the same time glanced at the sparse soldiers on the top of the wall: "How many more people can we recruit?"

Wei You looked gloomy, and slowly shook his head: "My lord, we have been fighting fiercely for half a year, and even the common people have joined the battle. How can we mobilize soldiers and horses?"

"Aside from the defenders at the three gates, even if you add your personal guards, there are currently less than five hundred elites. Such a number can barely support the defense of the three gates, but once they leave the city, they will not survive at all. It will be swallowed by Yuan Shao."

"Lord."

Wei You naturally knew Liu Yu's thoughts, but he still bowed to him after all: "We must never leave the city again, otherwise Jicheng will not be able to defend at all."

"We can't let the people rush out of the city to help Wuhuan Tuqi, right? You should know that even you can't completely erase the crimes Wuhuan Tuqi committed in the past."

Because Liu Yu implements a benevolent government and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the people are willing to sacrifice themselves for Liu Yu, but Wuhuan Tuqi's crimes are too deep, and it is impossible for them to completely wipe out this hatred just because they love Liu Yu.

but
Liu Yu knew very well that once Wuhuan Tuqi lost the ability to harass, nine out of ten it would be defeated, and Jicheng would also be impossible to defend. In a sense, if Wuhuan Tuqi lost, Jicheng would be defeated. The city will also be defeated.

On the contrary, if Wuhuan Tuqi can be kept, then Jicheng can also survive. As soon as winter comes and the snow is frozen, Yuan Shao can only retreat and wait for the next year to fight again.

If it can be delayed until next year, perhaps Nanyang's actions are enough to threaten Yuan Shao's rear, and even enter Guanzhong to kill the old man Yuan Kai. In this way, his son will be safe.

Liu Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "But Zihe, there are only a few thousand Wuhuan Tuqi now, and they dare not attack Yuan Shao's spear formation at all."

"Once Yuan Shao is allowed to complete the chariot-step coordination formation, Wuhuan Tuqi will have no chance to attack. When His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang fought at Guangcheng Pass, Xu Rong was defeated like this."

During the battle of Guangchengguan, Xu Rong placed the cavalry battalion in Liang County for the purpose of supporting each other, but Liu Bian's defensive formation was too tight, and the cavalry camp did not attack at all. Chance.

If it wasn't for Yuan Shu's crimes in the end, he gave the cavalry battalion a chance to break through the formation, otherwise the cavalry battalion could only watch helplessly, and Guangcheng pass was eaten away bit by bit.

The truth is so cruel!

Now, it seems that the same scene is about to be staged, the only difference is that Yuan Shao now takes the initiative, while Liu Yu and Wuhuan Tuqi are in the passive position.

And the most important thing is that it is impossible for Wuhuan Tuqi to risk the entire army to break out because of you, Liu Yu, but it is possible to set up the cavalry battalion for Xu Rong!

The uneasiness in Liu Yu's heart was even greater, and he was extremely terrified. He always had a feeling of being shrouded in death, as if this battle was his own final battle.

"no!"

After all, Liu Yu couldn't sit still: "Even if there are only 500 people, they must be seen by Wuhuan Tuqi. We are also trying to find a way to cooperate. We must not chill Wuhuan Tuqi's heart."

"My lord, absolutely not."

Wei You dissuaded without hesitation: "Not to mention sending people out to meet Wuhuan, but hitting a stone with an egg, the whole army will definitely be wiped out. If we cooperate with Wuhuan's sudden cavalry, the hearts of the people in the city will not be cold. ?"

"There are still more than [-] people in Jicheng. If we cooperate with our army to hold on to the city, there will be no problem. As long as we can persist until winter, Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw his troops. We still have a chance to breathe."

"Lord!"

Speaking of which, Wei You knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "You should think twice!"

Liu Yu hurriedly supported Wei You: "Zihe, get up quickly, don't do this."

Wei You broke free and said sonorously: "If the lord does not agree, the subordinates will not get up. Now the safety of Jicheng is the most important thing. As long as we can delay the winter and send some grain and grass to Wuhuan after the war, we can turn the war into jade. "

Thinking about it carefully, it seems reasonable. Since it is impossible for Wuhuan Tuqi to die for himself, at critical moments, he will naturally withdraw his troops to preserve his strength.

And as long as I can stick to it until winter, when Yuan Shao leads his troops away, and then send someone to send some food and grass that the Wuhuan people urgently need, it will be enough to appease their hearts.

"Don't worry, Zihe."

Liu Yu let out a sigh, turned his gaze to the battlefield outside, and said softly: "I won't go out of the city easily to support, unless Wuhuan Tuqi decides to attack the spear formation by force, then we will respond."

"it is good."

Wei You was overjoyed and nodded slowly.

he knows.

With the current strength of the Wuhuan Tuqi, they would definitely not attack by force.

Although Ta Dun is young, he is by no means an easy person. The steelyard in his heart is not biased towards the Han people, but Wuhuan people. It's just that he has to rely on the Han people to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Although at present, the ethnic groups in Wuhuan get along well with the Han people, and even a large part of them are very obsessed with Han culture, showing an unprecedented integration of Hu and Han.

But Wei You has his own judgment on this, as long as he gives an order, these guys will still draw a line with the Han people without hesitation, and even become enemies.

Hu Han Fusion!

This is something that will take at least several decades to achieve. It is definitely not possible to make the gap between the two races real in a short period of seven or eight years.

Looking at Wuhuan Tuqi, who repeatedly shot arrows and raided outside the city, but never made a substantial attack, Liu Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, which meant that his own efforts, in the end, still did not bring about the opening of the other party's heart.

And Yuan Shao's chariot formation and infantry formation were quickly completed under the continuous tentative attacks of Wuhuan Tuqi, entering the final stage of closing and forming, and can immediately launch a general attack on Jicheng!

"Lord!"

Wei You seemed to have sensed Liu Yu's thoughts, and softly comforted him: "It's not easy to integrate Hu and Han. It's already amazing that you can get Tadun and Wuhuan from the three counties to come to support you."

call-

Breathe out long.

A faint disappointment flickered in Liu Yu's eyes: "Maybe I haven't done well enough to make them feel the real Hu Hanping, otherwise they will be able to give their hearts."

"I hope this time I can persist until winter, and then let me do something for the people of the two ethnic groups. Maybe in another seven or eight years, at least the people of the two ethnic groups can live in harmony."
