People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 331

In fact, for Li Yao, high-ranking cadres are not important people, they are dispensable, they can be killed or released, but it can be seen from this that the big clan in Taiyuan has basically turned to him, and it is also very interesting to be able to handle Yuan Shao a little bit.

Li Yao thought for a while and said:
"Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's people, detain him first, and take him to Chang'an when I leave. As for you..."

As soon as these words came out, the high-ranking officials who were still cursing over there were taken away. As for the people on the left and right, they were all suffocated, nervous and uneasy.

Li Yao did not refuse their overtures, they can stay, but the fields and tenants under their names will all be vomited in the future, and now they need to appease the people of Bingzhou, so he said with a smile:
"I have seen your obedience. Remember, follow the imperial court's footsteps. As long as you don't do anything wrong, no one will embarrass you. Help General Xu Rong, defend Xianbei from the outside, caress the people from the inside, and when this year promotes filial piety and talent, recommend the children of the family to be officials!"

Hearing this, everyone on the left and right breathed a sigh of relief, accepted their overtures, and promised them that they should never trouble them again. Who would have thought that these Liangzhou barbarians were terrifyingly strong, and the hundred thousand Huns were all gone. In today's world, who else could resist.

Immediately they all spoke in unison:

"Follow the order!"

Hearing this, Li Yao waved his hand and said:
"Go down first, I have something to talk to General Xu Rong!"

The people on the left and right saluted again, and then retreated one by one.

When there were no outsiders around him, Li Yao looked at Xu Rong without saying a word, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Rong looked uncomfortable, then lowered his head and said:
"General, they sent a thousand gold cakes, three thousand silk, and some other things. They asked me to speak for them. I didn't want to accept them. It's just that Bingzhou is poor and the cost of raising soldiers is huge, so I invested the money I got..."

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction. As expected, Xu Rong was able to speak for them, and he must have taken advantage of them. In troubled times, ability is the most important thing, and then he said slowly:

"Let's not take this as an example. Not only is Bingzhou impoverished, but the entire imperial court is not rich. Last year we won Yizhou, and this year we drove away the Huns. Next, we will rest and recuperate. In the future, we will increase subsidies to the Bingzhou army!"

Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said solemnly:
"Thank you General!"

Li Yao also smiled, and then said to Xu Rong:

"The Huns have been moved away, and now the Hetao is very empty. I have arranged Zhang Liao there, and temporarily take care of the rich land of the Hetao..."

"If you want to go out to clean up Xianbei, you need not only cavalry, but also terrible food and grass, so now we can only do this..."

"General Xu Rong, defend Bingzhou. You must send troops to guard the road connecting Taihang Mountains with Jizhou, and be alert to the north at all times. Your mission is very important. Be confident that you can complete it!"

Xu Rong saluted solemnly upon hearing the words, his eyes were firm, and he spoke loudly:

"Follow the order!"

After repeatedly explaining to Xu Rong, Li Yao was relieved to let him stay in Bingzhou. Xu Rong's military ability was absolutely beyond doubt, and Bingzhou was different from Yizhou. Yizhou's topography and Yizhou's richness determined that Li Yao dared not easily hand him over to anyone.

As for Bingzhou, although Bingzhou is big, Bingzhou is very poor. Xianbei lies to the north, and the Black Mountain Army still exists in the Taihang Mountains. After crossing the Taihang Mountains, there is still Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

After resting for one night, on the next day, Li Yao refused to persuade everyone to stay, and set off again, headed for Lishi, and finally went south, returning to Hedong.

Although it took a lot of effort to prepare in the early stage, the Xiongnu were cleaned up within a month after the actual dispatch of troops.

This time, Fan Chou, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Xun You... were all shocked, not to mention other people, such as the princes of the Guandong.

It shocked everyone's jaws!
Yuan Shao of Jizhou, just after hearing the news, sat in the room without seeing anyone, until a day passed, then he called all the civil servants and generals under his command, looked around, and then said:

"Everyone, you should all know the news from Bingzhou. Let's talk about it, what should we do?"

The people on the left and right were silent, so many elite cavalry were heavy, like a boulder on their shoulders, and no one felt powerless.

Yuan Shao sighed, and immediately his eyes became firm:
"I just want to ask one question, is it possible to subdue Gongsun Zan?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone on the left and right looked at each other, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Xun Chen... Even if they were all smart, but to subdue Gongsun Zan, the two sides would fight like this, and to expect the other party to bow their heads and bow their heads to surrender, was simply fanciful than a fool's dream.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Shao also understood, gritted his teeth and said heavily:

"Within three years, we must defeat Gongsun Zan, raise taxes, conscript troops, seize Youzhou, form tens of thousands of Youzhou Tuqi, Li Yao's children, hold the emperor hostage, usurp power, and control the four states of Kansai. If there are still two vassals in Hebei, the Han Dynasty is in danger, and the people of the world are in danger!"

He also has the face to say that wars, tax increases, conscription... will hurt the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, but when Yuan Shao said this, everyone in the audience was filled with righteous indignation, and they all nodded in agreement.

Although this is drinking poison to quench thirst, but if they don't drink this cup of poisoned wine, they will not be able to survive to the end.

So all the civil servants and military generals cupped their hands and said:

"Follow the order!"

There was only one person, because he was half a beat behind in ecstasy, he was Qu Yi, when did Liangzhou become so strong, and the hundred thousand Huns were all gone, his heart was extremely complicated.

At this time, Yuan Shao noticed Qu Yi, although he didn't say much, but disgust flashed in his eyes, he hated Qu Yi who was born in Liangzhou, hated that Qu Yi accepted the war horse that Li Yao gave him... In short, when you look at a person who doesn't like something, his every move, every word and deed can make people feel disgusted.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou also learned about Bingzhou. Jizhou and Youzhou are the closest to Bingzhou, so they got the news the fastest.

He really didn't understand that Liangzhou was not much better than Youzhou, how could it be possible to support so many cavalry.

But he had to respond, and he also summoned the civil servants under his command to explain the matter and ask for opinions.

Finally, Guan Jing gave a suggestion:
"Minggong, Jizhou is rich and rich, Minggong must seize it, but if Wuhuan commits rebellion every year, then we will face the enemy, and it will be difficult to achieve great things..."

"It's better to gather troops, break Wuhuan first, seize livestock for your own use, and capture captives to form an army. I heard that there are many Qiang soldiers in the Liangzhou cavalry. With Minggong's prestige and reputation in Youzhou, as long as you are willing to show mercy, a large number of Wuhuan and Xianbei will be at your disposal!"

Gongsun Zan was not reconciled, but last year, although he repelled Wuhuan, he quickly went south to Jizhou, and Wuhuan was not wiped out, nor was Yuan Shao, and finally said very irritatedly:
"Let's bypass Yuan Shao's life first, let Tian Kai of Qingzhou harass Yuan Shao's rear, and let Gongsun Fan of Yi County gather his troops and defend with all his strength, so as to buy time for me to defeat Wuhuan and Xianbei.

The battle in Hebei will become more and more fierce...
