Chapter 39 Zhao Yun
Zhang Hao's happy laughter came from the side hall from time to time in the prefect of Wujun.
The guards and maids and servants standing around knew that King Gan was in a good mood today. Not only because General Taishi Ci came back, but seemed to listen to the movement inside, King Gan looked at the other handsome and tall general very differently.
The maids looked at each other and guessed who the young general was. Even the personal guards were a little confused.
Zhang Hao was in a good mood today. There were many reasons. Huang Zhong led the army to attack Kuaiji County very smoothly. Taishici returned with tens of thousands of Shenwei troops. In addition, the young and handsome general who was curious about the maids.
Speaking of which, Taishi Ci really gave Zhang Hao a lot of surprises. The generals took turns to take charge of the Shenwei Army's border strategy on Youzhou. However, Taishi Ci seemed to have good luck. Two months ago, Taishi Ci brought the future celebrity Tian Chou back to report on his work.
There is no doubt about Tian Chou's ability. It can only be said that he was able to join Zhang Hao, who had no reputation at that time, because it was an accident. It was also Taishi Ci's leadership who happened to save Tian Chou's hometown, which was robbed by Wuhuan. Therefore, Tian Chou, who was grateful to his heart, wanted to join the Shenwei Army and eventually became a member of Zhang Hao's tent.
Now that Taishi Ci has returned to Jiangdong, and other generals are unable to go to the Youzhou border, Tian Chou is responsible for the matters of Shenwei Army there.
Not only did he recruit Tian Chou, this time Taishi Ci actually brought another surprise to Zhang Hao.
This is an idol of many fans of the Three Kingdoms. Speaking of which, there are quite a few idols among the Three Kingdoms, but not many of them can make most people like it. There is no doubt that the White Horse and Silver Spear Zhao Zilong is one of them.
This time, it was Zhao Yun who was brought back by Taishi Ci.
Zhao Yun has just returned from learning art, and this young man can be regarded as a patriotic. In history, Zhao Yun took the initiative to join Gongsun Zan because Gongsun Zan advocated fighting against foreign races and made great contributions in this regard. However, Zhao Yun came from Jizhou and was not valued by Gongsun Zan.
This time, Taishici met Zhao Yun unexpectedly. At that time, he was leading the army to attack the looted Xianbei, and Zhao Yun joined in. When Taishici saw Zhao Yun's superb skills, he immediately invited the other party to join the Shenwei Army.
Although the origin of this Shenwei Army is a bit inexplicable, the name of the Shenwei Army was called out by foreign races, and the Han people were protected. Zhao Yun, who was young, energetic and passionate, joined in. This time, Taishi Ci returned to Jiangdong and brought him back.
Taishici knew very well Zhang Hao’s desire for talent.
It is estimated that Taishi Ci has helped Zhang Hao paint a lot, so when Zhao Yun faced Zhang Hao, he was extremely respectful and respectful.
Zhang Hao showed his ability to take things out of thin air. From the general weapons he had specially created before, he took out several of them for Zhao Yun to choose. This move made Zhao Yun, who heard a lot of Zhang Hao's magicality through Taishi Ci, shocked him.
He was talking about the situation of foreign races on the border of Youzhou with Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, and Zhang Hao was telling the entanglement between nomadic people and farming people. Zhao Yun heard these narratives from later generations very seriously, and in modern times, he seemed to be wise and wise at this time.
At this time, a personal guard came over and handed Zhang Hao a piece of paper. Taishici and Zhao Yun naturally stopped talking and waited quietly.
"Some people are still not giving up!" Zhang Hao did not hide from Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, and said with a smile.
Now that Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun have some understanding of the form of Jiangdong, Zhang Hao directly explained,
"Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen is summoning the army. Everyone in Yangzhou's counties responded enthusiastically, and they all had money and strength to contribute. According to our detailed information, if this army gathered together, it would be estimated that it would have at least 70,000 people, or even 100,000."
Zhang Hao had no intention of being nervous at all, but had a sneer on his face.
"These gentry families are going to fight to the death. Obviously, they don't want to accept our new policy, after all, they restrict their privileges. But they don't think about why they have such privileges. Moreover, these gentry families are really well-founded and can actually piece together such a large army. Among them, the gentry families in the Jianghuai area accounted for the majority. It seems that the Jianghuai is not only densely populated but also much richer than Jiangnan."
Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Hao's calm look and felt a little worried. That was a 100,000 army.
On Zhang Hao's side, including the returned Shenwei Army and the soldiers drawn from the island, there were only 30,000 soldiers. Of course, Zhao Yun knew that if Zhang Hao forced himself to piece together and counted the new recruits and the guards of the rich, he could summon another 20,000. However, he was already familiar with Zhang Hao's army regulations and knew very well that Zhang Hao would not do that unless he had no choice.
Moreover, Wu County and Kuaiji County have just been pacified, so a certain army must be arranged to maintain order.
In this way, Zhang Hao's strength is no better than the other party. What's more, as an official, the other party may also receive continuous support from the court.
After all, Zhao Yun had just joined Zhang Hao's side not long ago and was not clear enough about Zhang Hao's background, otherwise he would not have been worried about Zhang Hao's current attitude.
Zhang Hao really didn't take these pieces of troops seriously.
"Lord, it takes time for the other party's army to piece it together. Should we take the initiative first? General Huang is now conquering the surrounding areas of Kuaiji County, but the Shenwei Army has almost been repaired." Taishici suggested,
Taishici knew very well the advantages of the Qian army, including various weapons beyond the times and higher quality of the soldiers. Along the Yangtze River, the Jinghai Army was a weapon of killing. Now it is absolutely impossible for the Yangzhou Governor to send a large army across the river. On the contrary, Zhang Hao's side can attack Jianghuai at any time.
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "No need. I want to do my best. Since the Shenwei Army has been repaired, it will not be a problem to start conquering Danyang County tomorrow. After Danyang, it will be the only thing left in the Jiangdong area.
Then we go north directly and fight the decisive battle with the troops they pieced together, and defeat their confidence in one battle, and we can successfully accept the whole province.
In this way, the private soldiers of the gentry and the soldiers of various counties were defeated, and they would not be able to resist decently. We would also vigorously implement the new policy. With the Jing Navy here, we can safely conquer Jiangdong and Jiangnan without worrying about being disturbed."
Taishici and Zhao Yun thought about Zhang Hao's ideas. Taishici praised him, and Zhao Yun was still a little confused. Taishici knew the strength of Qianjun, and Zhao Yun was confused because he was not clear about it. After that, he would understand that Zhang Hao did not boast about himself at this time.
At the prefect's house, Zhang Hao introduced Zhao Yun to everyone. Later, he revealed his plan to everyone. Tian Feng, Gu Yong and Man Chong cooperated with Zhang Hao's ideas to improve the plan.
In the afternoon, Zhang Hao went to the Shenwei Army to work hard. Shenwei Army can be said to be Zhang Hao's earliest army. He showed various means early, making the Shenwei Army unparalleled loyalty to Zhang Hao. Now Zhang Hao is going to lead them to create a beautiful future in the doctrine, and the soldiers of the Shenwei Army are all highly morale.
This New Year in Jiangdong is hot, not to mention the conquests of the army everywhere, for the people, the various policies of the army made them ecstatic. In addition, the image of the army like the heavenly soldiers and generals made the army have a strong foundation among the people, which is quite a bit like a royal army.
But it feels a bit dire straits for the gentry and even officials. Needless to say, the Gan Army restricts the gentry. As an official, it is also a great responsibility for such a rebel in the country, especially now that they are helpless against these gangsters.
The lower-level officials have already figured it out, but officials at the prefecture level, together with the Yangzhou Governor's Department, can't sleep or eat.
Not only the officials in Yangzhou were uncomfortable, but the imperial court in Luoyang, the capital was also uncomfortable. The news of the rebellion in Yangzhou was spread to the court, but it shocked the imperial court.
The rebellion in Liangzhou lasted for several years, one after another. This time, the rebellion of the Han Sui Kingdom and others, after asking Huangfu Song to leave, he finally saved the land of the Three Auxiliary. And in the first month of this year, using the meteors from the sky, Huangfu Song defeated the rebels of the Han Sui Kingdom in one fell swoop.
But the Han Dynasty is still not stable now. Not to mention Zhang Hao’s rebellion, just say that since the second half of last year, due to natural disasters and poor food harvests, the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains have risen, which has made the court overwhelmed.
In recent years, Emperor Ling Liu Hong made a fuss to die and spent money. Even the expenses of the rebellion were pieced together, and the treasury was no longer money.
The resurgence of the Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou and other places all ordered the local governors to suppress the rebellion, but they were unable to provide much support.
Now that we learn about the massive rebellion in Yangzhou, what is particularly interesting is that this so-called corporal organization is tightly organized, and even has its own laws. This is obviously not comparable to that of rebels like the Yellow Turban. The court was very imposing.
I knew that I should crack down on it at this time, but the court's finances had long been full of holes, and the royal princes in the court felt quite in dire straits.
Fortunately, the Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen's response was appropriate, and it also made the court have certain expectations and luck. It gave them some time to consider what to do.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Rang was shocked after knowing that Zhang Hao rebelled, but this guy was very clever and buried all the important clues. He also took the initiative to apologize to Emperor Ling, but the result was safe and sound. In addition to Emperor Ling, Zhang Rang was trusted by Emperor Ling, there was probably a reason why Zhang Hao failed to buy an official position.
What is even more speechless is that Zhang Rang did not mean to contact Zhang Hao at all. He can only say that this guy is very smart and prepared to be good at both sides.
In addition, the Mi family in Xuzhou and Zhen family in Zhongshan, which had previously cooperated with Zhang Hao, have a deep foundation and were not implicated. Even the cooperation with Zhang Hao has not stopped. It was just a remodel.
Both sides built various workshops in Xuzhou and Jizhou, and they were separated from Zhang Hao on the surface. But the facts were naturally not the case. Although they were inevitably a little bit of abacus. But seeing the great momentum of the Ganjun, these people's attitudes were getting better and better.
Although some businesses that cooperated with Zhang Hao were unlucky, Zhang Hao informed them in a vague way in advance. Since they failed to escape, they could only say that they were too careless. Zhang Hao was powerless for the time being.
