The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 470 Self-recommendation (Happy New Year to everyone again)
The situation in Guanzhong was urgent. Although Yuan Shang and his team wanted to lead their troops to Guanzhong immediately, it was too late and they could not mobilize their troops in a hurry, so they could only tentatively rest in Jinyang City for the night. Road expedition.

That night, Yuan Shang didn't live in Gao Gan's mansion or Jinyang Xingyuan, but went to the southern camp where Gao Gan prepared for him [-] elite troops. It is also to be able to get acquainted with these soldiers in Bingzhou as soon as possible, so as to achieve the unity of the generals.
Gao Gan originally intended to send more troops to Bingzhou, but was rejected by Yuan Shang. If there is a disturbance in Liangzhou, if it cannot be contained and the war spreads to Bingzhou, the gain will outweigh the loss, and the garrison force will still remain A little more is better.

Hearing that Zhao Yun fell into the hands of Yan Xing, Yuan Shang was not in a very good mood, it could even be said that he was in a bad mood. He tossed and turned for half the night without falling asleep, and in the end he didn't sleep at all. "Human Shield Chapter", read it carefully while waiting for the dawn.

After reading over and over like this for an hour, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the camp, and then the sound of guards intercepting people at the entrance of the tent was heard.

"...It's getting late, my lord has already gone to bed, please go back, the general, and see you tomorrow!"

The visitor seemed to be in a hurry.

"No, my lord will march into the pass in the future, so I won't be in a hurry if I talk about it tomorrow! Brother, please do me a favor!"

"The lord is sleeping, no one can disturb him!"

"Just say it out loud, if my lord doesn't get up, I'll just leave."

"Not even a single voice, this is a military order!"

The visitor was angry: "Your family's military order stipulates that the lord can't get up in the middle of the night! It's too overbearing! You little soldier, who do you think you are?"

"........."

Yuan Shang put down the letter in his hand, and asked out of the tent, "Who is it? It's so rude!"

As soon as Yuan Shang's voice came out, the people outside the tent hurriedly yelled loudly into the tent.

"My lord! It's me! Zhang Xiu! Zhang Xiu, Marquis of Xuanwei! Zhang Xiu who defected to you from Wancheng when he was defeated in Chang'an! Now the prefect of Yanmen Pass!"

Yuan Shang raised his voice and said: "You are not guarding the gate at Yanmen, what are you doing here...Do you want to pay New Year's greetings for freshmen?"

Zhang Xiu shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "No, my lord, I have something important to ask to see my lord, and I hope my lord will allow me to see you!"

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and shouted back: "A stab at you with a sword? I can't bear it... If it's not New Year's greetings, go back! In the middle of the night, I won't take any business except New Year's greetings."

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a while, then knelt down at the door of the handsome tent with a "plop", saluted, and shouted happily.

"My lord, Happy New Year! Zhang Xiu, the guard of the Yanmen Gate, wishes the lord and horse a happy new year and all the best! And in the new year, thousands of horses will gallop to beat Liu Bei, gold and iron horses will beat Cao Zhi, thousands of troops will kill Sun Quan, Hurry up and kill Yan Xing, and soon you will be able to defeat Song Jian...Young sweetheart, take Cai Yan!"

Yuan Shang grinned: "That's really good, your New Year's greetings are much more exciting than your fighting skills."

Zhang Xiu had a laugh: "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment... My lord, let me go in in the Year of the Monkey?"

Yuan Shang waved his sleeves: "Seeing that you speak so well in the New Year greetings, let me make a special case to let you in! Let me make it clear first, I don't have any lucky money for you."

"........."

At that time, when Cao Cao fell, Zhang Xiu was defeated by Liu Bei in Wancheng. Fearing that no one would protect him after Cao Cao died, Cao Pi took advantage of Cao Ang's incident to seek revenge on him. He was brought back to Hebei by Yuan Shang and sent as a general in Bingzhou to garrison Yanmen.

Today Yuan Shang sent troops to merge the prefecture, and Zhang Xiu hurried back from Yanmen to Jinyang to meet him.

When he was young, Zhang Xiu entered the commander's tent, straightened his armor and battle robe, then gave a military salute, and reported in a loud voice: "The last general, the King of the Northern Land Spear, the eldest disciple of the Tong Qiang God, General Jianzhong, Marquis of Xuanwei, the prefect of Wancheng , temporarily leading the Yanmen prefect, Zhang Xiu has met Grand Sima, General Yuan Gong!"

Yuan Shang rubbed his nose, squinted at Zhang Xiu: "What about the list of dishes you nagged me about?"

Zhang Xiu chuckled, and said: "Reporting more names, doesn't it show that we have many positions, high skills, and heavy responsibilities, so we can sell it for a good fortune!"

Yuan Shang was amused when he heard the words: "You came back all the way from Yanmen specifically to make me laugh, right? Just talk about it if you have something to say."

Zhang Xiu sorted out his vocabulary, and then said: "My lord, there is a disturbance in Yongliang, do you want to go and put it down?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "That's right."

"My lord, count me in!"

"You?" Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard the words, he looked Zhang Xiu up and down a few times, and said, "Why are you going to Yongliang with me?"

Zhang Xiu chuckled, and said: "I came here to offer suggestions for meritorious service, my lord, you forgot, what is the last general's nickname?"

"Nickname?" Yuan Shang frowned: "New Year's greetings little vanguard?"

"It's the spear king of the Northland!"

Zhang Xiu's face darkened a bit: "My lord, when the general was serving as an official with his uncle Zhang Ji at the beginning of the year, he took office in Jincheng. Although his status was not high at that time, he also participated in the battle to put down the Qiang chaos! The nickname of the Northern Spear King was erected at that time!"

Yuan Shang suddenly realized when he heard the words, nodded and said: "So, not only are you familiar with the terrain of Jincheng and other counties in Liangzhou, but you also participated in the Liangzhou chaos that put down the Qiang leader Beigong Boyu when you were young?"

Zhang Xiu nodded, and said: "Exactly, and my subordinates have their own analysis on the method of quelling the Qiang chaos, which can help the lord stabilize the Qiang people in the long run."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "Let's listen."

Zhang Xiu straightened his face, and said: "The Qiang people and our Han people have been in contact for hundreds of years. They have already been merged into our dynasty, but they are still in accordance with the ancient rules. Although they are engaged in farming, they are still nomadic. 'If there is no ruler, there will be no one.' If you are strong, you will be divided into chieftains, and if you are weak, you will be attached to others. You also like to use strength as the hero, and it is extremely difficult to govern!"

Yuan Shang sighed, and said: "I understand what you said. As for the Qiang people, it is impossible for me to attack them first with soldiers and horses, and then join their people into Hebei , it is even more impossible to slaughter to the end...Because the Qiang people were merged into the Han Dynasty more than 300 years ago, they have intermarried with the Han people in the west for many years, and they have mixed blood, such as Ma Teng Ma Chao and his son, although they are Han people I claim to be of mixed Qiang-Han blood, and the Xiliang border already belongs to the Qiang and the Han, and the Han is not separated from the Qiang. They are all people under the rule of our dynasty... But I don't understand, they are also the people of the Han Dynasty, and they have passed through After hundreds of years of assimilation, how come there are still endless rebellions!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang was a little dissatisfied, and continued: "I'm not boasting! Don't look at the three kings of Xianbei and the people under the rule of the Southern Huns who have just entered Hebei, but I am confident that within ten years, they will all belong to the king. In contrast, the Qiang people have been integrated into the Han for hundreds of years, but they have not yet integrated in. Have all the officials of the Han Dynasty eaten their shit in these hundreds of years?"

Zhang Xiuwen said: "The Qiang Rong Han is different from the Xianbei Xiongnu Rong Han that my lord carried out in Hebei. The lord immigrated to the country in Hebei, and let them come to my Han territory, influenced by the folk customs of my land... But the land of Xizhou, originally It is not the land of the Han Dynasty, but the champion Hou Huo Qubing ran thousands of miles to fight for the deer, and conquered King Xiutu and King Hunxie. Xizhou was once the territory of the Huns! Emperor Wu established the Hexi counties and moved the people to the border. Our people have to adapt to other people's land and folk customs, and our dynasty's policy towards the Qiang was wrong, so that the Qiang refused to accept the Han and rebelled repeatedly, which is also reasonable."

Yuan Shang became interested when he heard the words, and said, "They are all citizens of the Han Dynasty. What special policy does our dynasty have for the Qiang people?"

Zhang Xiu smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

"Of course, my lord, it's hard to explain it all, so I'll give you a rough introduction. In the sixth year of Yuanding, Emperor Xiaowu established Zhangye and Dunhuang counties on the basis of Jiuquan County, and Linqiang County and Hebei County in Xiping. Po Qiang County, in the sixth year of Emperor Zhao's Yuan Dynasty and the third year of Emperor Xuan's Dijie, our dynasty set up Jincheng County and Wuwei County to isolate Qiang and Hu! And set up a guard to guard Qiang, and accept the various tribes of the Qiang people to rule! However, the tribes of the Qiang people ruled The system is difficult to be aligned with the mainland of our great Han, so it is honored to keep its country name and belong to the Han Dynasty! Emperor Zhaoxuan adopted the policy of "Fu Xun He Ji" and "Huai Rou Win Over", which made the borders of the Naqiang people stable in the early days. Everything can be expected."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "One country, two systems means... I understand, let's continue."

Zhang Xiu sighed, and said: "It's a pity that since the Jianwu period, the national policy has not changed, but there have been changes. The policies of 'Fu Xun He Ji' and 'Huai Rou Win' were gradually abandoned. Instead, the law of enslavement spread across the frontiers of Liangzhou. , officials in various counties relied on their power to promote corruption, turned the Qiang policy into slavery, and turned the Qiang people from Han people into Han slaves, and provided them to the border tyrants. For more than a hundred years, Xirong has fought repeatedly because of unfair treatment Repeated rebellion, the disaster is not only in Liangzhou, but even extends to Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Sanfu when the flames of war are at its peak, and the poison is deep!"

Yuan Shang nodded and said in his heart, the current Qiang-Han dispute is just like the American race issue in the past, it belongs to ethnic discrimination, but people are black and white people biting each other, here is the mutual pinching between Han people and Qiang people question.

Yuan Shang touched his nose and said, "So, how to solve it?"

Zhang Xiu arched his hands and said: "My lord, if he can pacify Xizhou this time, Zhang Xiu would like to serve as the captain of the Qiang guards and serve as a side for the lord. He also asks the lord to treat the Qiang people so that slavery can be abolished and the 'Fu Xun He Ji' Huai Rou win over again." 'The strategy is, if the fields are equal, the people are equal, the law is balanced, and the system is strict, if the Han and Qiang people treat them all the same, then the land of Xizhou will definitely be safe."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Zhang Xiu, you want me to be Lincoln."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiu didn't react, she stared blankly at Yuan Shang: "Who is Lincoln?"

Yuan Shang sighed leisurely, and said: "That is the princes and kings of a country far, far away, located outside the Great Wall, outside the Great Wall..."

Zhang Xiu was a little dazed when he heard this: "This King Lincoln, does he also 'fuxunheji', 'huairou winover' and 'emphasis on equality' to his subjects?"

Yuan Shang nodded, regretfully said: "Yes, because of this, he is still dead."

Zhang Xiu was startled: "How did you die?"

"Do you know that Jing Ke assassinated Qin?"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "I know."

"Did Jing Ke succeed in assassinating Qin?"

"Of course not."

Yuan Shang sighed, "King Lincoln also let Jing Ke assassinate him. That time, Jing Ke succeeded."

Zhang Xiu was stunned when he heard the words, and then sighed regretfully.

"Poor Lincoln the Great!"

"........."

When they were young, the two brought the topic back.

"Zhang Xiu, your suggestion on governing the Qiang nationality is very reasonable, but I always feel that these things are not something you can analyze by yourself..." Yuan Shang looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile, and said : "Tell me the truth, who did you hear these opinions from?"

Zhang Xiu blushed, and said with a naive smile: "I can't hide it from my lord. These are all the things I talked about with Jia Xu privately in Wancheng when we talked about Liangzhou affairs. That old guy is from Wuwei. understand everything..."

Yuan Shang felt confused when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Jia Xu, old man, it turned out to be him..."

"..."

************************
When Yuan Shang went south, he recruited Zhang Xiu, the prefect of Yanmen, and [-] soldiers and horses went straight to Guanzhong.Traveling to the border of Jingzhao, there was a report, saying that Yan Xing, Song Jian, Qiang and other troops had passed Qinchuan, went straight to Jingzhao, Liangzhou fell, and most of the land of Yongzhou had been cut off by them.

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses were stationed in the northern border of Jingzhao. After learning the information, he immediately held a military meeting in the camp.

After understanding the current situation in Guanzhong, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation, among which Ma Chao was the worst, and he immediately went out to call for a fight.

"Jingzhao Chang'an is an important town in Yongzhou, and it must not be lost! The final general is willing to lead an army to fight against Yan Xing, Song Jian, and the rebels! Get them out of Jingzhao! Drive this villain away!"

General Pang De also got up, and said in a loud voice: "Although Yan Xing's army has grown rapidly, he is attacking the city and plundering land in the name of Zhao Yun, and at the same time recruiting soldiers from various counties and counties for his own use. The cities that he captured There is almost no garrison left, and the city is almost empty, so the enemy's strength is only superficial, once we succeed in counterattacking, all the lost ground will be taken back by our army immediately like the swift wind sweeping the autumn leaves!"

All the people present were filled with righteous indignation and pleaded for orders to go to Jingzhao quickly to attack Yan Xing and Song Jian.

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and said: "The fighting spirit of the generals is worthy of encouragement, but simply confronting the tough is the worst policy. Yan Xing, Song Jian, rebelling against the Qiang, and three groups of soldiers invaded Yongliang under the banner of Zhao Yun and took the initiative. , The momentum is like a broken bamboo, all the way through the customs and closing county, showing your sharpness, this is not the time to confront them head-on, the most urgent thing to do is to hold back their offensive pace, frustrate their offensive, and then send troops to break them. "

Hearing this, Ma Chao was curious, and asked, "What does my lord mean?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while and asked, "Hao Zhao of Jingzhao Chang'an, how many soldiers and horses does he have under his command?"

An insider replied: "It is said that Hao Zhao guarded Chang'an City with more than [-] elite soldiers. After Yan Xing's rebellion, Hao Zhao immediately gathered soldiers from all counties and counties in Yongzhou and returned them to Chang'an to help guard. There should be more than [-] soldiers. Chang'an There are twenty-five thousand available soldiers in the city."

"Twenty-five thousand... Yan Xing, Song Jian and other troops add up to about two hundred thousand... that's enough for Hao Zhao!" Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Use the pigeon whistle to send orders to Hao Zhao, and use these two Thousands of elites, defend Chang'an to the death! Stop Yan Xing, Song Jian and others' troops, use Chang'an's city walls to block their army's power, and suppress their arrogance to attack!"

"promise!"

Zhong Yao didn't speak all the time, just looked at Yuan Shang quietly, with admiration in his eyes.

Seeing that Yuan Shang did not send troops to the border of Guanzhong, Ma Chao felt a little unhappy, and said, "My lord, you don't send troops, let Hao Zhao go to defend! Then what are we people doing in Bingzhou?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, avoiding the edge is avoiding the edge, but we are not doing nothing... The first priority is to pull out the nails in the east and create a stable rear, so that we can move west. !"

Ma Dai was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "The Nail of the East mentioned by the lord... Could it be that... Luoyang?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "The emperor is too shameless. Not long ago, I joined forces with Liu Bei and Cao Zhi to give him a slap in the face. How long has it taken? How dare he do it again? The presumptuousness is on my head." What's wrong with the emperor? Can the emperor be unreasonable? I have to give him some serious treatment this time, to help him cure his ADHD... The generals obey the order, our first task goal this time is to be the emperor first!"

Do the emperor first?

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help raising their hands to wipe their sweat together.

"That's... a bit too rebellious!"

************************
There is also a reason for Yuan Shang's choice of this target. Although the Son of Heaven has few soldiers, he is royal orthodox after all, so he gave other rebels the opportunity to attack Guanzhong with regular names, and Yan Xing had sent Jin Yi to Hebei last time. Yes, Yuan Shang also roughly understood the reasons for the instigation of various anti-military forces from Jin Yi's mouth...

They were instigated by the emperor.

I can't clean it up!

Of course, Yuan Shang will not go to Luoyang City for the time being. After all, once he moves, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and Central Plains will rush into Luoyang. If he was killed in the fight, Yuan Shang was afraid that he would be burdened with regicide.At that time, scholars in the world must drown him with spit.

Of course, after the relocation of Hebei is over, Yuan Shang will go south to destroy Cao Zhi, and it will be much easier to seize the emperor. Second-rate.

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses marched eastward and did not attack Luoyang, but he expected that the emperor's soldiers and horses would surely march westward quietly.

Sure enough, within a few days, spies reported that the emperor ordered Xu Shu and Tong Fei to use Zhu Hao after the famous generals, Huangfu Jianshou, Huangfu Li, pardoned generals Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, etc. People and horses, taking advantage of chaos, secretly marched towards Guanzhong.

They wanted to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to seize a place for development in Guanzhong, but they didn't want this beautiful dream to be strangled in the cradle by Yuan Shang.

Soldiers and horses marched to Luku Road in Sanfu, but saw a military camp sitting between the crossings, blocking the way, and a beautiful and enchanting "Yuan" was embroidered on the big flag in the middle of the military camp. .

Seeing that big character, Xu Shu seemed to have swallowed a fly, and his face turned green.

There is such chaos in Guanzhong, Yuan Shang didn't go to deal with them, but instead led soldiers here to beat him, the three thousand underdogs, what does it mean?
I heard that Yan Xing, Song Jian's troops have arrived at Jingzhao, and they are about to attack Chang'an. Isn't Yuan Shang afraid of Chang'an's failure?
Guan Zhong doesn't want him anymore?Just to vent your anger on yourself?Is this boy Yuan Shang sick?

Xu Shu was at a loss. He never thought that Yuan Shang could act so recklessly. This move was indeed far beyond his imagination.

Xu Shu was in doubt, but at this moment, Yuan Jun's sentry had apparently spotted them. With the sound of drums beating, he saw a group of soldiers rushing out of Yuan Jun's barracks. A man, riding a white horse and red robe, wearing a purple gold hair crown, raising his whip, is leisurely staring at his soldiers and horses, with a loose and arrogant expression, surrounded by a group of generals, large and small, there are about 20 generals. Multiple.

Xu Shu reckoned that this person should be Yuan Shang.

In fact, that person is indeed Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang rode out, took two steps forward, glanced at the Tianzi army formation, and said, "Which one of you is the left general Xu Shu? Come out and answer this general."

Xu Shu calmed down, rode out, and said, "I'm Xu Shu, but you are Yuan Shang?"

"........."

Yuan Shang glanced at Xu Shu for a while, then smiled and said, "You are Xu Shu. It's been a long time. You rescued the emperor from Xuchang. You are quite capable, but why don't you stay in Luoyang well and run here blind? ? Is this where you should be jumping?"

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land, why can't I, Xu Shu, lead the emperor's soldiers here?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "My good fellow, are you scaring me with the soldiers of the Son of Heaven? Who do you think I am! Let me tell you, I am the Great General Sima, who is in charge of the power of soldiers and horses in the world. Let me take the lead, what do you want to do as a left general? If you are sensible, get out of here! I won’t send you away!”

Xu Shu frowned, and said with a sneer: "Ming people don't talk dark words, I said Great General Sima, now the whole Guanzhong has been caught in fire and water, if you don't go to protect the Guanzhong land to repel the rebels from all walks of life , but here to intercept the emperor's soldiers and horses, you don't know which is more important, don't you want Chang'an City?"

Yuan Shang sneered, and said: "No, I don't want the whole Guanzhong! I just said that today, I gave Chang'an City to Heshou Ping Hanwang! If you have thousands of people, you can't enter Guanzhong! Anyway, I have enough in the city, Are you capable of biting me?"

"You!" Xu Shu didn't expect Yuan Shang to be so prodigal: "I was so angry that I couldn't speak for a while!"

On the other hand, Tong Fei who was next to Xu Shu, who had been looking at Yuan Shang, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Interesting, I've been traveling the world for many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a freak."

"........."
