I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 116 Zhuo County is impenetrable
"Snapped!"

Inside the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ji slammed the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, while Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Jian, Cao Cao and others were sitting next to him.

Except for Liu Jian, the faces of several people were a little unfriendly.

"Yellow turban moth thief, how dare you do this!" Yuan Ji roared hoarsely.

No wonder Yuan Ji had such an attitude. The Yellow Turban Army attacked the Wubao of the Yuan family in Runan, but the Yuan clan had deep roots, gathered all the disciples and with the assistance of the Runan County Guard, they prevented the Yellow Turban Army from attacking. , and killed the other party, but this matter was equivalent to the Yuan family in Runan being slapped heavily by the Yellow Turban.

Except for the Yuan family in Runan, all the noble clans around Ruying were harassed by the Yellow Turban Army, and the losses were not small. All the clans in Ruying sent people to Luoyang to meet Yuan Ji, and asked him to move the imperial army to Yuzhou as soon as possible. rescue.

In addition, the same is true of Qiao's Cao family. Thanks to the great influence of the Cao family in the local area and the help of the government, they finally prevented the Yellow Turban's offensive.

But it did ring alarm bells for them.

Cao Cao cupped his hands to Yuan Ji and said: "Your Majesty, General He said that the three armies have been prepared, and the military funds donated to the court by the princes and ministers have also arrived. We only wait for the auspicious day, and the troops will be dispatched soon. Today Lu Shangshu, the lord of Huangfu, The admonisher Zhu Gongwei has been appointed as the general of the three sides, and Cao Cao also wants to participate in this battle, to make contributions to His Majesty, to do his best for the Lord, and to solve the difficulties of the clans, please allow it."

Facing Cao Cao's initiative to invite Ying, Yuan Ji praised it quite a lot.

"It would be best if Meng Deken went to the front to help. I will personally go to His Majesty to advise Meng De as the captain of the cavalry, and I will go with Zhong Lang!"

"Thank you, Monarch!"

Yuan Ji's eyes moved away from Cao Cao, and then fell on Liu Jian and Yuan Shu.

"You two are the fifth school of the Northern Army. This time, you will lead the troops of the headquarters and accompany the three Zhonglang generals to conquer. I don't know how General He will deploy the five battalions this time?"

Before Liu Jian could answer, Yuan Shu hurriedly replied: "Brother, I will go north with Lu Zhonglang to Jizhou to fight against Zhang Jiao's main force. The general intends to let him go south."

"Who is going with Deran?"

"So far there is no decree."

Yuan Ji frowned upon hearing this.

He looked at Liu Jian and said, "I heard that most of the troops going south are men from Sanhe who have just been recruited. In terms of elite level, they are far inferior to Lu Shangshu's army. Why don't I write a letter to General He and ask him to transfer you?" Go to the northern battlefield, so that you can also lead the army with your master, which is more dangerous than being in a weak army."

But Liu Jian said: "Thank you for your painstaking efforts, Junhou. I have already asked my teacher about this matter. The teacher said that I don't need to go with him, but just concentrate on preparing for my war. Besides, the imperial court has not yet appointed me. , it is inconvenient to operate first.”

Yuan Ji nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Don't you miss your family in Zhuo County?"

Liu Jian said with a faint smile: "My luck is good, the family is fine so far."

Yuan Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and wondered: "All the families of the court officials, big or small, are suffering from the moth thief, why do you avoid it alone?"

Liu Jian replied: "My family business is very small, and I can't get into the eyes of moths if I think about it."

Yuan Ji didn't speak when he heard the words, but just sighed lightly.

A small family has the luck of a small family.

But in fact, not so.

Ever since Liu Jian asked Tang Zhou to spread the words of "heaven makes up for the average", he has already started to arrange the affairs of his family.

Both the Taiping Road in Jizhou and Youzhou are controlled by Zhang Jiao. Although the concept of heaven supplementing balance is also spread in Hebei, because of the three brothers Zhang Jiao sitting in the town, their main goal is to attack the prefectures and counties westward and encircle Luo Yang, so Ji, You's Haoyou is not like Ruying, Yanzhou was severely attacked.

Of course, the attack was not severe, but the high gates of Jizhou and Youzhou would still be affected by it.

However, Liu Jian made arrangements in advance and made foolproof preparations.

Liu Jian first wrote a letter to Liu Bei in Guanjin County, asking him to return to Zhuo County from Guanjin County as soon as possible.

At this time, Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Qianshi, had just arrived for a term, and the court had not yet given him a new post. Liu Jian did not suggest that he be transferred to be a Lang official, but only asked Liu Bei to temporarily complain of illness and return to Zhuo County first.

In addition, he wrote to Su Shuang and his father Liu Zhou, saying that the military incident in Youzhou was imminent, and it would inevitably be affected. He asked Su Shuang and the Liu family to quickly gather wealth and food to Zhuo County, and at the same time let Liu Zhou act as the head of the family. , ordered the children of the Liu clan to live in Zhuo County, and not to travel far without the order of the suzerain.

Today's Jian Yong, through Liu Jian found him a good relationship in the court, and dredged up the new prefect after Lu Qian. He is highly trusted and is still the second person in Zhuo County.

Last autumn, Liu Jian asked Jian Yong to intensify the construction of the city wall of Zhuo County in the name of repairing the city, and repaired the city wall of Zhuo County so that it was tall and strong, and it was difficult for ordinary troops to conquer it.

Liu Yu had resigned as governor of Youzhou last year, and the new governor, Guo Xun, was an old member of the Yuan family. Although he and Liu Jian had never met, they knew each other well. After all, Liu Jian was now a celebrity around Yuan Ji.

When Guo Xun first arrived in Youzhou, his foundation was still shallow. Liu Jian wrote a letter to remonstrate Wu Meng to join Guan Yu!
With Liu Jian's entrustment, Guo Xun naturally put Guan Yu as the most important thing, not only letting him take charge of military affairs, but also obeying Guan Yu's words in terms of military affairs of the Ministry of Governors.

After three years of hard work, Guan Yu's reputation in Youzhou for suppressing thieves is growing day by day, and his power shakes the north!

Over the years, while suppressing bandits in the border areas, he also collected available bandits for his own use. He has faintly become the No. [-] figure in Wulu in Youzhou.

Whether it is a soldier or a thief, they all respect and fear Guan Yu's reputation.

According to Liu Jian's arrangement, Guan Yu advised Guo Xun to transfer the garrison of the Youzhou Governor's Department to Zhuojun, so that he could better suppress the bandits.

Suppressing thieves is also a meritorious achievement for Guo Xun, and Guan Yu is good at martial arts and has a great reputation. With Liu Jian's recommendation, Guo Xun is naturally willing to listen to Guan Yu.

Therefore, Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, moved the garrison of the governor's department to Zhuo County.

After Zhang Jiao's incident, Guan Yu acted very quickly because he had received Liu Jian's order in advance. He immediately ordered the recruitment of rebels to fight against the Yellow Turbans.

Over the years, Guan Yu not only assisted the governor in eliminating thieves, but also secretly recruited many counterfeit thieves for his own use. To a certain extent, he seemed to be supporting the bandits.Now that Guo Xun and Guan Yu are jointly recruiting rebels, others don't mention it, the thieves and bandits from all over the world are naturally flocking to vote.

Even if the family background is not innocent enough, Guo Xun will use it under Guan Yu's advice.

As for the rebel army, Liu Bei, who returned home due to illness, was invited by the governor and county guard to take charge of the rebel army.

In this way, Zhuo County has a new city outline, a frontier garrison, and a garrison from the Youzhou Governor's Department, and Guan Yu, who has already made a name for himself in the north, sits here, plus a rebel army led by Liu Bei... ... It can be said that there are soldiers if you want soldiers, and generals if you want soldiers, they are as solid as gold.

In addition, this time when the Yellow Turban Army was killed, the children of the Liu family joined the rebel army one after another, including Liu Jian and Liu Bei's brothers, Liu Lian, Liu Wu, Liu Shang, Liu Zhu, Liu Yu, Liu Sheng, and Liu Fang. The rebels.

After all, they are all descendants of the Liu family clan. Although they are not as good as the Fanyue family, they are also from the Xiaohaoqiang family after all. It is no problem to read, read, ride a horse and hold a bow since childhood.

Not everyone knows how to fight at birth, it's all about practice, and Liu Jian himself is the same. After being taught by Lu Zhi, he was honed at Danhan Mountain, and he came to where he is today.

These clan children will start to sharpen from now on. As long as they experience more battles, even if they will not become famous generals, as long as they can become qualified leaders, that is enough for Liu Jian.

Especially now that Liu Bei and Guan Yu are leading them, they can also give them the greatest personal protection while giving them experience.

Under such basic conditions, after the Yellow Turban rogues came to Zhuo County, they were calmly killed and retreated by Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
