Chapter 291 I advise you to leave a way out
Xiahou Dun's appreciation for Yunshan was never hypocritical, and Guan Ping received Xiahou Dun's praise and actively devoted his subjective initiative to the battle, and once again launched the people of Guanzhong to prepare for a war.
"This is the last battle. This battle can bring about a hundred years of peace in Guanzhong. You, your children and grandchildren will no longer be abused and bullied by Iron Hoof. I, Yunshan, swear that this time we will completely expel the thieves in Liangzhou and restore the majesty of my great man!"
Yunshan placed the recruiting site in Huai, the former Mateng station. He raised a large flag, and soon a large number of people responded. The farmer brought his own food with him, the blacksmith picked up the weapons he had made, and the merchants also helped the elderly and the young to supply grain and cloth for free.
The whole Guanzhong was full of fighting spirit from top to bottom, which made Guo Huai sigh even more.
He remembered that he had come to Guanzhong many years ago for business. At that time, except for Chang'an, the markets around Guanzhong, every household in the township closed in broad daylight, and occasionally pedestrians who came and went to escape and hid.
But this time it's different.
The people who fled before returned to their homes and took the initiative to go to various places to tell us about the good news of Yunshan’s return. The smoke from the barren villages before was raised, and many people even set up iron pots and cooked delicious mutton. A handful of fine salt like snow was sprinkled. The fragrance of the mutton made Guo Huai, who was born in a wealthy family, couldn't help but move his index fingers, and he drooled in disarray.
He quickly lowered his head and wiped his saliva, and couldn't help but think about how Yunshan made such a popular heart.
The news transmission in this era is very difficult. Many places in Guanzhong have become sparsely populated after the destruction of more than ten years. Yunshan had just held a little in Guanzhong for a while. How could it be that the news could be transmitted so quickly, so that many people from afar rushed to join the army, just like...
Just like the Taiping Road back then.
Taipingdao was forced to make an early move because of the betrayal of the traitor. Even so, they quickly spread the news of the uprising. Millions of Taipingdao people wrapped in yellow turbans at the same time and joined the battle, shocking the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Could it be that Yunshan is the old man of Taipingdao, and does he have any special magical skills?
He was still thinking about what was going on, but Xu Huang beside him sighed:
"This is the militia..."
Guan Ping saw many familiar faces from the troubling crowd. These people were young, vicissitudes, tears in their eyes, or high fighting spirit, but they were all elite militias he had mobilized and trained before.
According to the previous idea, Guan Ping selected elite troops from the main force to enter the local army for preparation and training, and the local army also selected outstanding soldiers to become militias, slowly expanding the combat power of the grassroots.
After Ding Fei controlled the military forces in Guanzhong, he was very dissatisfied with the existence of the militia. He was unable to reach into Guanping's main force for a while, but he could severely interfere with the operation of local troops and militias, making them unable to expand and recruit soldiers. He could only be forced to enter the military farm and endure the exploitation of Cao's army.
If it were just ordinary militias, the entire army might have dispersed after losing Yunshan's command.
But those who entered the militia were loyal soldiers who followed Yunshan all the way. Although they were scattered to farm everywhere, they were still the mainstay in the hearts of all militias. These soldiers inspire the militia's fighting spirit and told them that Yunshan would return to Guanzhong sooner or later and would not give up on them.
These simple people believed in the Tao of peace many years ago, but now they have more realistic and more immediate goals. They have always maintained their hopes in their hearts, and are inspired by the soldiers to read patiently and seriously, waiting for the opportunity to return to Yunshan.
After Ding Fei left Guanzhong, Chang Diao also restored the militia at Xu Shu's suggestion. As soon as the news of Yunshan's return came, the militia immediately passed the news to the military farms in all directions.
Those people who were forced to farm were oppressed before. I heard people say that General Yunshan could free them and restore peace to Guanzhong. This time, it was like a long drought and rain, and they rushed over from all directions.
The militia did not have strict military positions, but they played a huge role that other team leaders and the garrison commanders could not play. They kept inspiring the fighting spirit of the people on the way to Huaili. The crowd rushed to the top without threats or escorts. This was really a miracle!
The Cao army was originally based on the Yellow Turban surrenders from Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Most of the others were forced to join the army. When sent to the front line, there would be an escort process to prevent the soldiers from escaping.
How could this kind of soldier... be compared with this powerful soldier that everyone is competing for the first place and wishes to swallow Ma Chao directly?
Guo Huai was excited and wanted to learn Yunshan's abilities well, and learn from him when he commanded the side in the future and trained an army that was also good at fighting.
But he thought about it for a moment and felt a little disappointed again.
Yunshan's use of this method has caused dissatisfaction with the King of Wei before. He has the opportunity to schedule casually because he is good at fighting and is deeply loved by the people. If he is someone else, if he promotes such a benevolent government, he will soon attract the attention of the King of Wei and the school affairs will come to visit him.
"The general is not afraid of being someone in the future..." Although he knew that it was rude to say this, Guo Huai still couldn't help blurting out and made a beheading move.
Guan Ping smiled happily:
"What do I have to be afraid of? The world has been in chaos for decades, and what I am doing now is to try my best to correct the chaos.
Brother Guo came from a famous family and should know that my Han soldiers were also literate and were happy when they heard about the war. Everyone strived to be the first.
At that time, the Han Dynasty discussed how to send troops from the Western Regions to a farther place, go to the Qin Dynasty overseas to see the truth, or volunteer to go south to open the border for our dynasty.
I just want the man from that year to come back. Did he make any other taboos?"
Guo Huai shook his head and said worriedly:
"The general has ambitions, Guo Huai admires it, but how can everything in the world be as expected by the general?
The general was devoted to the Han Dynasty, and had previously attracted the suspicion of the King of Wei because he refused to bow to the King of Wei.
Now that Guanzhong is in chaos, the King of Wei needs a general, but if Yongliang is pacified in a few years, the general, Yongzhou Mu and General Xu, Liangzhou Mu will probably be difficult to do.
Especially the King of Wei will definitely usurp the Han Dynasty. At that time, the general wants to be a Han minister, or a Wei minister?"
Guan Ping was quite surprised, but he didn't expect Guo Huai to say so thoroughly.
Logically speaking, Guo Huai’s family origins should be based on the interests of his family as absolute priority. Why do he show a certain point of being closer to him now?
"General, there are only you and me here, so I just said it clearly." Guo Huai looked at the people in front of him and said leisurely, "The general is kind-hearted and devoted himself to the Han Dynasty. However, Cao Zihuan is definitely not a person who cherishes the people's strength. The general has no poetry and prose with this person, and he is loved by Cao Zihuan for a while. After some years, the world will be pacified, and the general will eventually be dismissed for some reason, and he will inevitably be depressed for a lifetime.
The general's benevolent government will eventually be...haha, it will be left unresolved."
Under the feudal small peasant economy, there were quite a contradiction between the system of self-cultivation and military farming.
Guan Ping's actions in Guanzhong were all based on violations of Cao Pi's laws. Even if Cao Pi could tolerate it for a while, he would eventually feel unhappy when the world was pacified.
What Guo Huai said makes some sense.
"I wonder what Boji taught me?" Guan Ping's face turned a little cold and he asked calmly.
Guo Huai said boldly: "The last general thought that it would be better to form Liu Bei secretly when the general attacked Hanzhong to serve as a retreat. If Cao Zihuan was fine in the future, then that would be fine. If he intends to seize the power of the general, the general would be better to hand over Liu Bei immediately and attack the Central Plains from Guanzhong east. Cao Zihuan was caught off guard, how could he resist?!"
Guan Ping was stunned for a moment, looking at Guo Huai's excited appearance, and after a long time, he believed that he was not sarcastic, but was really persuading himself to surrender to Liu Bei.
OK, if he knew that I was Guan Yunchang's son, he would not know what expression he should have...
Guan Ping shook his head and sighed:
"Liu Xuande is in a Han Dynasty. If he does not eliminate it, the King of Wei may not harm me. If he goes out to Shu and attack the north, if I want me to stop it, it will inevitably be a big battle. I wonder what Bo Ji thinks should do?"
Guo Huai sneered:
"The general, General Xu, and General Le were both governors of the state, and were only slightly weaker than the King of Wei, and could be called princes along the way.
If Liu Bei's northern expedition was better than a general, he would rather speak out. If Liu Bei was willing to split the land and reward the general, why not attack the Cao family with General Xu and General Le, then the Han Dynasty could prosper and the world could be determined?"
Guan Ping nodded slowly and said with a smile:
"Why is Boji so focused?"
"I'm not to hide it. My ancestors have been Han ministers for generations. The Emperor of Han is not bad at my family. The King of Wei's actions... I'm a little dissatisfied with this."
Guo Huai's words are never false.
His family has been rich for generations, and their status is no worse than that of the Cao family. Why can their Cao family rise to heaven and even begin to covet the position of emperor?
If Cao Cao was there before, Guo Huai would never dare to touch this thought, but after Cao Pi took office as King of Wei, his family was constantly suppressing his family. Their family's strength was very weak. Now the guards in Jingzhou, Yongzhou and Liangzhou are still outsiders. Why should everyone bow to your family?
Guo Huai started to think about seeing the people supporting Yunshan so much. If he could join the team to support the Han Dynasty, the Guo family's reputation in history books would soar to the sky and worship it for future generations, and his descendants would also benefit greatly.
Cao Pi is not a wise ruler. Sooner or later, he will finish the great cause of the Cao family. It should not be too late to support the Han Dynasty at this time.
Looking at Guo Huai's face full of heat, Guan Ping smacked his lips and smiled:
"What Boji said is that I would trust Boji."
He really wanted to tell Guo Huai about his identity and appreciate the surprised expression on Guo Huai's face, but after thinking about it, he still put this thought in his heart.
Seeing Yunshan smiling very restrainedly but looking forward, Guo Huai couldn't help but say excitedly:
"General, don't worry. Speaking of which, although I have no friendship with Liu Bei, my father and ancestor have served in Hedong. My father has also served as the county magistrate in Jie County, and he has some connection with Guan Yun's family.
In the future, I went to Guan Yun’s strengths and explained this origin to him. I would like to recommend him to the general. I would naturally write down any old grudges in the past."
"General, don't worry."
Guan Ping:...
