Chapter 116 The general trend of the world

The supervisor under the censor was not the well-known supervisor who was beaten by Liu Bei or Zhang Fei. The supervisor was an official position and was in charge of supervision. According to the geography of a county, it was usually divided into eastern supervisors, western supervisors, etc., and supervised several counties and townships.

As for the pavilion chief, he is in charge of public security and also in charge of staying tourists, the pavilion and township are different from the township and township. Township and township are administrative divisions, while pavilion is related to military affairs and is not the same system.

However, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the function of Tingchang's public security arrest and theft has deteriorated, and has increasingly participated in civil affairs and education. There is no difference between the functions of the township and the township and the township and the three elders, causing overlap in institutions and conflicts with the township and the three elders, which has adverse effects on the local area.

Considering that the settings of pavilions and postals were somewhat similar, Ji Ping also assigned the pavilion chief to the censor and the supervisor, forming a bottom-up supervision system.

As for whether this monitoring system is reliable, he has secret supervision from Shi'a's Shadow Department. As long as the Shadow Department is not given the power of review and life and death, he believes that it will not cause problems for the Jinyiwei and the East Factory in the future.

After dealing with the Hu family's problem, Ji Ping put forward a series of government orders to appease the hearts of the people, and these government orders were handed over to Lu Zhi to return to Anyi to improve.

He led Dian Wei's Eight Hundred Guards, Yuan Ji, Wu Qiong, Zhou Liying and his party to continue traveling south to Yanchi. At the same time, he asked Guan Yu to lead the 5,000 troops to speed up the marching speed, and to the southwest, directly planted Yishi, Jiexian and Puban, and wiped out the remnants of Dong Zhuo's army to Pujin to defend.

When Zhang Ji's army was defeated and retreated to Pingyang, the news of their capture of Hedong County would inevitably reach Dong Zhuo, Luoyang. Once Dong Zhuo learned the news, he would inevitably send a large army to cross the river and recapture Hedong County.

Because the status of Hedong County is extremely important, it is the left-hand gate of Guanzhong. In history, any battle to break Guanzhong will almost inevitably involve Hedong County.

Once Hedong County is lost, the Hangu Pass and Tongguan natural barriers on the front of Guanzhong will lose their effect. From Pujin Ferry in Puban County, southwest of Hedong County, you can cross the Yellow River and go straight to Zuo Fengyi, the land of Sanfu, threatening the important land of Sanfu.

The three servants are Jingzhao Yin, Fengyi on the left, and Fufeng on the right.

Jingzhao Yin is the core, and Chang'an City is in it. Fufeng means to help the weather, Fengyi means to assist. Fengyi means to assist. Fengyi on the left and Fengfeng on the right to guard Jingzhao Yin.

After the capital of the Later Han Dynasty moved to Luoyang, the importance of the Three Guards was relatively weak, but after Dong Zhuo moved westward, Zi Liu Xie and a group of court officials were in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Yin, so the Three Guards were the core area of ​​Dong Zhuo's top priority.

To launch a large-scale military force from Guanzhong, there are three passages: Pujin Ferry in Puban, Fengling Ferry in Hebei County and Maojin Ferry in Dayang County.

Fortunately, there is a Yellow River between them, and the terrain of Hedong County is higher than that of Guanzhong. As long as you guard the three major ferry crossings, Dong Zhuo will be unable to cross even if there are thousands of troops.

The Central Army General Xun Fu has already gone to Maojin Ferry and the adjacent Dayang Ferry to defend. Shaanxi County opposite Maojin Ferry and Dayang Ferry are currently gathering Dong Zhuo's army to attack Luoyang.

But Ji Ping had already searched all the ships in Luoyang before, and the Yellow River has not had any water war since ancient times. There was a lack of large warships. I expected that Dong Zhuo's army would sigh at the river for a while, and Xun Li's calmness led three thousand people to defend.

Ji Ping sent Guan Yu, a fierce general, to Pujin Ferry instead of attacking Pingyang in the north. It also has a deep meaning, because Pujin Ferry is the place where Dong Zhuo's army is most likely to cross the river.

Among the three major ferry crossings bordering Hedong County and Guanzhong, Maojin Ferry and Fengling Ferry in the south are both behind the Zhongtiao Mountain barrier. Even if Dong Zhuo worked hard to cross the river, he only occupied Hebei County and Dayang County on the border of Hedong County. It is difficult to climb over the overlapping Zhongtiao Mountains and enter the hinterland of Hedong County.

But Pujin Ferry is different. You can go straight to the hinterland of Hedong County and attack the capital Anyi.

During the Warring States Period, the Qin State attacked Jin several times, and they all built floating bridges in Pujin to cross the river, including later Tang Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. All military affairs between Qin and Jin often came from Pujin, which was a must-fight for war and defense.

Therefore, Ji Ping needed Guan Yu, a fierce general, to guard Pujin Du.

As for Fenglingdu, Ji Ping pondered for a long time and handed it over to Xu Huang.

He has had many communication with Xu Huang these days. Although Xu Huang is young, he is very smart. He has a stronger understanding of many military and formation warfare opinions than him, and is extremely brave, not inferior to Zhang Liao.

Hesitating about employment is not Ji Ping's style. He dared to use Zhang Liao at the beginning, but now he naturally dared to use Xu Huang. He now appointed Xu Huang as the captain of Fengyi, and transferred one thousand people from Yang Fengjun and Zhang Liao's army, a total of two thousand people, and handed them over to Commander Xu Huang, carrying five days of dry food, crossed Zhongtiao Mountain and rushed to Fenglingdu.

As for the subsequent allocation of military rations, it was handed over to the current Hedong prefect Lu Zhi.

Seeing Xu Huang being appointed as a heavy position, Jia Ji's eyes flashed with envy. This naturally could not be hidden from Ji Ping's eyes. However, Ji Ping dared to use Xu Huang decisively, but he did not dare to use Jia Ji.

After all, Jia Xu's old fox is on the enemy side, and Ji Ping doesn't want to commit suicide.

They were rushing to the Yanchi, and at the same time, there were changes everywhere in the world.

Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, responded to the attack on Dong Zhuo three months ago. The tiger in Jiangdong went north all the way, causing ups and downs.

When Sun Jian arrived in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, a governor of Jingzhou, Wang Rui, asked Sun Jian to kill Wuling prefect Cao Yin, and then he was willing to raise an army. Cao Yin was unwilling to die, so he pretended to be a manifesto of the Guanglu doctor Wen Yi, the envoy, and ordered Sun Jian to execute Wang Rui.

Sun Jian had a conflict with Wang Rui, so he led his troops straight into Xiangyang, forcing Wang Rui to be desperate and die by swallowing gold.

Forced Wang Rui to death, Sun Jian continued to go north and arrived in Nanyang. He asked Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi to provide military rations.

Zhang Zi was originally a county magistrate appointed by Dong Zhuo to win over the scholars of Guandong when he first entered Luoyang. He was in the same group as Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao and others, but Zhang Zi did not raise an army to attack Dong and refused to distribute food to Sun Jian.

So the Jiangdong tiger became fierce and killed Zhang Zi again.

After killing Zhang Zi, Sun Jian continued to enter Luyang north and defected to Yuan Shu, the latter general who fled from Luoyang. Yuan Shu heard that Sun Jian had knocked out the two largest tigers in Jingzhou, and was immediately overjoyed and reported that Sun Jian was the general who defeated the enemy and also led the Yuzhou sect.

Sun Jian rested in Luyang and prepared to march to attack Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shu took advantage of the killing of Nanyang Prefect Zhang Zi and took full control of Nanyang County.

Nanyang County is the hometown and the place where Longxing was the Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang has been the "Emperor's hometown". The capital of Wancheng has been designated as the capital and is called the Nandu. There are countless royal relatives and relatives. Princes, Generals and Prime Ministers are in the houses. Ji Ping's mother He Hou's family started from Wancheng.

Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang County. With the reputation of the Yuan family of four generations and three dukes in Huainan, he was undoubtedly among the princes. He had a strong capital for separatism.

At the same time, because the governor of Jingzhou Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo submitted a letter to send his clan relatives. Liu Biao, who was the Marquis of the Northern Army at the time, succeeded as the governor of Jingzhou. On the surface, he was promoted, but in fact he took the opportunity to deprive Liu Biao of his military power over the Northern Five Army and further consolidated the rear of Chang'an.

At this time, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou in the east of Luoyang, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, fought and could not get in touch with each other. Chenliu and Cao Cao led his troops to dissuade him, but unexpectedly, the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command had mutiny first. Especially the new recruits recruited in Luoyang fled everywhere, and in the end, less than 500 troops in the county were left.

The reason for this mutiny was that Cao Cao did not rely on the "King of Shenwu" in the eyes of his new recruits in Luoyang. These new recruits had complaints about this. After Cao Cao went to Dongjun, he saw many old relatives who had migrated Luoyang, and they scattered.

Cao Cao was left with tears in his eyes and took the Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong to Yangzhou to continue recruiting troops.

After failing to compete for Hanoi County, Yuan Shao from Hebei returned to Bohai County, as if he was keeping a low profile. There was no movement.

But in the north of Jizhou, there was a fierce man in Youzhou. This man was Lu Zhi's disciple and Liu Bei's senior brother Gongsun Zan.

In this era, origin determined the beginning. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were brothers, but they were from the Gongsun clan. Although their mother had a low status, they had the capital, were handsome and had a loud voice. They were appreciated by Liu Jun, the prefect of Zhuo County, and married his daughter to him.

Later, Liu Taishou was exiled to Jiaozhou for breaking the law. Gongsun Zan disguised himself as a servant and drove to escort him. Unexpectedly, Liu Taishou was pardoned on the way and returned to Youzhou again. From then on, Gongsun Zan was promoted and was first purported to be a filial and honest man, becoming the chief of the Liaodong vassal state.

Soon, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, and Emperor Ling conscripted three thousand Youzhou cavalry to quell the rebellion. Zhang Chun, the prefect of Zhongshan, submitted a petition to be transferred to the main general, but Sikong Zhang Wen appointed Gongsun Zan as the main general.

In a rage, Zhang Chun won over the rebellion of Taishan Prefect Zhang Ju and the Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, gathered more than 100,000 people to plunder Youzhou and Jizhou. Gongsun Zan used three thousand elite cavalry to attack Zhang Chun and other rebels, made military achievements, and was promoted to cavalry commander. Soon, the leader of Wuhuan King Tang Zhi led his troops to surrender Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan was promoted to the General of the Central Army and was granted the title of Duting Hou.

From then on, Gongsun Zan led his troops and guarded the border. Gongsun Zan was a bit extreme nationalist. He hated the Wuhuan and the Xianbei like Hitler hated the Jews. He was very angry and never stopped fighting.

He liked to charge himself on a white horse, and selected dozens of the most brave and good at shooting subordinates, rode a white horse as a guard, calling himself "Baima Yicong".

The Wuhuan and other alien races were deeply afraid of Gongsun Zan's courage, and even used the spiritual victory method to draw the target like Gongsun Zan, and sprinted it up, shouting long live when it hits.

In March of the sixth year of Zhongping, three months before Ji Ping came to this chaotic era, Gongsun Zan defeated Zhang Chun. The court sent Zongzheng Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou. Liu Yu made contributions to appease Wuhuan and Xianbei. He was awarded the position of Taiwei and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangben. Gongsun Zan was the General of Fenwu and was granted the title of Marquis of Ji.

Gongsun Zan sharpened his sword in the northern border and was busy making money in the western city of Luoyang. Yes, he was just making money stupidly!

In order to accumulate money, Dong Zhuo returned a large amount of the originally popular Wuzhu coins, and broke the bronze men, bronze bells and copper horses that the people of Luoyang could not move away, and recast them into small coins.

The shoddy little money is a broken round copper piece. Not only is it lighter in weight than the Wuzhu coins, but it also has no heralds. The edges of the small money have no outlines and are not resistant to wear. The only feature is that the quantity increases by dozens of times.

If Ji Ping saw this scene, he would definitely curse: Is the stupid one, don’t know if inflation is?

But now Dong Zhuo was laughing proudly at the piles of brand new broken copper pieces.

At this moment, soldiers suddenly came to report that Anyi, Hedong County, was lost.

Dong Zhuo's face changed drastically, and then the soldiers' words made his face slow down. Dong Huang, the captain of the Central Army, had sent three thousand elite soldiers to Zuo Fengyi, preparing to cross the river from Pujin to recover Hedong.

Dong Zhuo pondered and immediately ordered: "Let Niu Fu bring 5,000 troops from Shaanxi and Jin to attack Dayang! Let Han Sui bring 5,000 troops from Huayin to defeat Fengling Ferry, and go north from Hebei County! Let Ma Teng bring 5,000 troops from Zuo Fengyi to attack Pujin and take straight to Anyi!"

At this time, a hundred miles southeast of Anyi County, Hedong County, Ji Ping looked at the vast salt pond, especially the hundreds of salt fields and dense salt workers around, and couldn't help but want to curse.

He looked at Yuan Ji beside him: "How many aristocratic families are involved in this Hedong Yanchi?" (To be continued)
