Chapter 466 Yuan Shao is looking for trouble

Everything was arranged, and the Hu leaders retreated. Zhang Liao arrived in the temporary camp and was planning to discuss the follow-up handling of the recapture of the Xiongnu and the reconstruction of the county and county houses. A personal guard came to report to the Central Army General Xu Rong.

"Xu Zhonglang." Zhang Liao smiled when he saw Xu Rong coming in.

In this battle, the Qiang and Hu soldiers led by Xu Rong had great achievements and extremely important roles. However, due to the efforts of pacifying the Huns, Xu Rong did not make public appearances, but the rewards were not missing. Xu Rong's Qiang and Hu soldiers under Xu Rong were rewarded heavily.

"Lord," Xu Rong said with his fists: "Shangjun has been a member of the Qiang family to defeat Nanting for the purpose of destroying the Qiang people. When they saw that the Qiang people under the last general were rewarded, they also asked for rewards. In order to avoid any changes, can they be eliminated?"

"Please reward?" Zhang Liao sneered.

This time, the Qian people from Xihe rebelled, and the Chen Di and Qiang people from Shangjun were both accomplices. The Qian people from Qiang people were the first to be hit. They were put down at the beginning of the war. The Chen Di and Qiang people rebelled, and then they made efforts when they attacked Nanting. However, in the final analysis, they were caught by the Huns and escaped.

Now they dare to come shamelessly to ask for rewards. They really think that they are the Bingzhou masters. It seems that the Shen Di tribes are in control of Shangjun for decades and have already developed the habit of being arrogant.

At this time, Xun Yu said on the side: "General, Shangjun, north, stable, mountains and rivers are dangerous, fertile land, land is suitable for animal husbandry, water can irrigate the grain, but the pain of the Qiang's defeat, Yuanyuan suffered disaster, and the county and county were deserted for decades. Abandoning the fertile soil and donating natural wealth is not a benefit; leaving the obstacles of rivers and mountains, guarding the unsecured places, it is difficult to be solid. Now the Qiang people are rampant, and the general is determined to lead the Yi army and be safe and harmonious. Why not take Shangjun, the north and the stable land, so that even if you get the fertile soil, you can also resist Liangzhou in the west, collect the displaced people, and calm the people."

Zhang Liao nodded and immediately said, "I was going to recover Shangjun, but now the Qiang people are looking for trouble and are about to ask about their rebellion. Xu Zhonglang, who treats you as the general of the Qiang Zhonglang, will rest for a while. Five days later, he will divide his troops west with Dian Zhonglang and take Shangjun in one fell swoop, north and Anding!"

"Get the order!" Xu Rong shouted to accept the order.

Seeing Xu Rong appearing happily, Zhang Liao shook his head helplessly. These generals under his command were militants, but in this chaotic world, wouldn’t these militants be needed?

Just as at present, local wars such as Shangjun, Beidi and Anding do not need to go out to fight in person. Xu Rong's cavalry and Dian Wei's infantry are enough to pacify.

He thought about it and turned to look at Xun You: "Gongda, this time you will follow the army to fight. You will be the prefect of Shangjun. After defeating the Qiang and Hu, you will stay there to appease Shangjun. I will send 500 personal guards to protect you, and be careful of everything."

Xun You bowed and said, "I will never let go of the lord's entrustedness."

"I will naturally feel at ease when Gongda takes action." Zhang Liao smiled and helped Xun You up, then looked at Guo Jia: "Is there any movement in the Xianbei outside the Great Wall?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Now it is in chaos and there is no time to take care of it. I am afraid that they will not know about the destruction of the Nanting."

"This is just right. Now that Nanting has just settled, Bingzhou needs stability and development. If the Xianbei does not invade, we will not provoke." Zhang Liao nodded and looked at Xun Yu and Zhang Ji: "Wen Ruo, De Rong, and now the internal troubles have been eliminated. How to educate the Hu people, calm their hearts and integrate them into the Han people as soon as possible depends on you."

Xun Yu and Zhang Ji said solemnly: "Dare not doing their best."

Zhang Liao said happily: "Wen has Wenruo, Derong, and the lords of Zhengnan have planned to have Gongda, Fengxiao, Gonghe, Wu has Dianwei, Gao Shun, and Zilong. Why worry about the uncertainty of Bingzhou and the uneasiness of the people."

In the following period, in addition to Xu Rong and Dian Wei sending troops to Shangjun, Beidi and An Ding, Bingzhou began a comprehensive construction.

After recapturing the Southern Xiongnu and other Hu tribes, and after the households were incorporated into the yard, Zhang Liao suddenly added nearly 400,000 people. The migrant Xiongnu were scattered to various counties and counties, and the land was quickly divided. The Xiongnu who were willing to continue grazing were placed in Yunzhong, Shuofang and Wuyuan areas.

The more than 60,000 Xiongnu soldiers captured in this battle were all invested in large-scale construction, building houses, opening canals, garrisoning farms, building roads, mining coal mines, especially building houses and mining coal mines. Zhang Liao wanted to prepare everything before the winter began to come, and give the surrendered Xiongnu a stable residence.

During this period, Zhang Liao personally inspected various counties and counties to check the construction situation and the implementation of government orders. Everything satisfies him. After Sima Lang, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Fa Zheng and other young talents, they all became much more mature after several months of working at the grassroots level, their styles of conduct became clearer and their thoughts were more meticulous.

After the inspection, Zhang Liao also discovered a problem. After the newly allocated fields were reclaimed, they could only be cultivated until the beginning of next spring, and food and grass in winter were a problem.

At this time, Zhang Liao remembered that he borrowed millions of stones of grain from Jizhou a year ago. Because of transportation difficulties, most of the grain and grass were stored in the Zhongshan Zhen family, Su family and Zhang family. At this time, he urgently used it and immediately asked the wealthy merchants to transport grain from Zhongshan to rescue them.

On the Shangjun side, after Xu Rong and Dian Wei sent troops, the infantry and cavalry cooperated, and within half a month they defeated the Qiang and Hu, and all recovered Shangjun. Xun You, the prefect of Shangjun, officially took office, appeased the counties, and promoted administrative orders.

In the final stage of attacking Shangjun, Xun You used a plan to ask Xu Rong to send his Qiang and Hu soldiers to use Shen Di to attack Qiang and Qiang to seek help from Qiang in the north. Qiang and Xianze really sent troops. However, Shangjun had already been settled at that time. Xu Rong and Dian Wei took the opportunity to attack Beidi County and Anding County westward on the grounds that Qiang invaded Qiang.

At this time, the three largest forces in Liangzhou, Ma Teng occupied the western part of Guanzhong, Han Sui was far away in Jincheng, and Song Jian was far away in Longxi to rule the sect of Kuhan, which was far away from Anding and the northern part. There were only Qiang and Hu forces in these two places, which was the best time to seize them.

So the war started in Beidi County and Anding County in full swing. During this period, Zhang Liao obtained the support of the local Han people through Wang Yi and Huangfu Li. Wang Yi was born in Niyang, the north, and the Huangfu family was in Anding County. With such internal and external cooperation, the war became extremely smooth. The Qiang people lost consecutive battles and many surrendered.

In mid-December, the first snowfall in Bingzhou since the beginning of winter was falling. Zhang Liao, who was with a few girls in the mansion, wanted to go to the north and Anding to check in person to comfort the soldiers, after all, the winter battle was too hard.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of December, Gao Lan, who was guarding the two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan, suddenly heard news. Yuan Shao secretly sent someone to lobby him and plot against the two counties.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan experienced the Battle of Jieqiao, the Battle of Giant Horses and Water, and the Battle of Longcui. They had a victory or defeat and temporarily reached a balance of power. After a breath of breath, they took the opportunity to visit Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan County.

Changshan Kingdom and Zhongshan County were the springboards for Zhang Liao to attack Jizhou and Youzhou next. How could he give up? He immediately ordered Gao Shun to lead his troops to Taiyuan, and he took Zhao Yun to Changshan and Zhongshan.
