Chapter 425: Arrive at Changsha(2/3)
Zhen Mi and Zhang Chunhua both had a suspicion in their hearts. If Dian Wei and the others hadn't been following them around, the bad guy might be doing business on horseback.
Thinking about that scene, I feel excited.
After arriving at Chenliu, Yelong did not go to Chenliu to rest. Instead, he asked the dragon knight to enter the city and notify Xu Huang. After seeing Xu Huang, he directly asked Xu Huang to rush to Hulao Pass, but Chen Liu could only let him go to the city.
Yingchuan County helped Zhao Yun guard Yingchuan County, and Yang Feng came to defend it.
Xu Huang got the order and set out overnight. He didn't take any soldiers with him, also to hide his whereabouts.
If he leads the army to leave Chenliu, then Kong Ni of Yuzhou will definitely know about it. If he sends troops to attack Chenliu, Chenliu will definitely fail.
However, Hulao Pass is located outside Hanoi County, Ye Long's base camp. A large number of soldiers and horses have been stationed there, but it lacks a general guarding the pass. Xu Huang can go there alone.
In fact, Xu Huang's worries were unnecessary. Nowadays, Kong Min in Yuzhou would not dare to send troops to Chen Liuguo.
Just Yang Feng and Zhao Yun have already made him very busy.
Yingchuan County was first captured by Peng Tuo. Later, Ye Long settled in Yingchuan County and left 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison it. It was relatively good at that time because the 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yingchuan did not invade other territories in Yuzhou.
But since Zhao Yun and Yang Feng arrived, although there was no large-scale attack, it was no longer possible for him to recapture Yingchuan. He sent troops three times, which amounted to more than 20,000 troops...
Now they are huddled in Qiao County and Qiao County, the capital of Yuzhou, and they dare not come out.
After Ye Long ordered Xu Huang, he went directly south, preparing to enter Yingchuan County from the southwest border of Chenliu Kingdom.
Before leaving, Ye Long lent Xu Huang's war horse...
This is not what Ye Long means, but what the two mistresses mean.
They couldn't stand Ye Long's torture anymore, and they couldn't do anything serious, but he kept torturing them until they couldn't do anything. What a big deal.
So at the strong request of Zhen Mi and Zhang Chunhua, Ye Long had no choice but to lend Xu Huang's horse.
Xu Huang's war horse was one of the best horses in a thousand. He was a little distressed to leave it to Ye Long like that.
Looking at Xu Huang's painful expression, Zhang Chunhua spoke, "General Xu, when the day comes, let the Lord give you a good horse, a good horse even better than this horse."
Zhang Chunhua's words made Xu Huang overjoyed. You must know that his horses are only one-of-a-kind BMWs. Each one costs two thousand gold. If it were not captured on the battlefield, how could he afford such a war horse? Now that he heard
When the mistress asked the lord to give him a better horse, he naturally presented his horse with both hands, and there was no trace of reluctance in his heart.
But Ye Long's face turned dark. He had no money...where could he find a good horse?
But Zhang Chunhua had already promised Xu Huang, so he could only find a way to get Xu Huang a good horse.
As for money, ask Zhang Chunhua for it, but he doesn’t have it anyway...
It's so poor. The registered population of the four counties is already over 10 million. He has to support these people!
However, Ye Long does not regret absorbing the refugees. With a large population, the burden will be heavy, but the benefits to Ye Long are naturally huge.
At the very least, Hanoi, Dongjun, Chenliuguo, and Jiyin County no longer have so much wasteland under their own farming orders. As long as there are no droughts or floods in the coming year, it will be a good harvest.
Moreover, Ye Long organized a large number of migrant workers and began to search for mineral resources, mining, and mining, which also brought Ye Long a lot of profits.
In fact, the biggest benefit now comes from the medical school in Hanoi County.
This is something Ye Long never expected!
The first batch of medical students enrolled was 3,000.
And among these three thousand people, there will be hundreds of people in every half, led by Hua Tuo and protected by the defenders, going up the mountain to collect medicine!
The medicinal materials collected naturally belong to the School of Liberal Arts, and Hua Tuo will also do business. Except for the daily consumption of medicinal materials by the School of Liberal Arts and 30% of them handed over to the government, the rest are all sold to the medicinal materials family...
.This brought a lot of money to Ye Long's small treasury, but it was still not enough.
Ye Long wants more.
Changshe.
There is a very famous battle in the novel, which is the Battle of Changshe.
In the early summer of the first year of Zhongping (184), Bocai, the leader of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, led more than 100,000 Yellow Turban rebels. They first defeated thousands of officers and soldiers led by General You Zhonglang and Zhu Jun, and then besieged the defender of Changshe.
It was General Zuo Zhonglang and Huangfu Song, one of the three main forces of the government and army. Although they were the main force, there were only a few thousand troops defending the city. Naturally, they could not fight against the overwhelming number of Yellow Turbans, so they could only hide behind closed doors.
war.
In midsummer, the Yellow Turban Army lacked tactical literacy and formed a camp on grass. The army used fire to destroy the camp, and the entire army fled. On the way to the Yellow Turban Army's retreat, they were blocked by Cao Cao's army, who came for reinforcements, and suffered losses.
The disaster was disastrous. The Eastern Han Dynasty official army and the rebels combined forces to pursue the Yellow Turban Army all the way to the South Road. The Yellow Turban Army suffered numerous casualties. The Yellow Turban Army's vitality on the South Road was severely damaged. From then on, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, Jingzhou and other places could no longer make trouble.
The current Changshe is under the control of Ye Long, and Bo Cai has become a general in Ye Long's hands, stationed at Chaoge, and looking after Qinshui.
Huangfu Song became his own prisoner and is still under house arrest in Huai County.
As for Cao Cao, he was ambushed and killed by himself.
Therefore, the famous Battle of Changshe will no longer happen.
And Ye Long and others, after five days of running all night, have arrived at Changshe.
The county magistrate of Changshe was personally appointed by Zhao Yun. The previous magistrate had his head chopped off by Zhao Yun because he disobeyed Zhao Yun's orders. Of course, what Zhao Yun did was approved by Ye Long.
The sky has just turned bright.
Ye Long and others appeared at the foot of Changshe City in a dusty state. As soon as they saw Ye Long and others, the general who defended the city ordered Ye Long and others not to approach the city gate.
After all, it is not yet time to lift the ban, and the city gate has not yet been opened. No one, including the people in the city, can enter the city gate. This is Ye Long's iron law.
Ye Long did not bother the generals defending the city, so he waited outside Changshe City for an hour.
When the city gate opened, after an interrogation, Ye Long and others finally entered the Changshe.
Ye Long did not reveal his identity when he entered the city.
Instead, after entering the city, he went straight to the county government.
After the county magistrate saw the lord's token, he was so excited that he didn't even care about his concubine lying on the bed. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed out of the house.
"The Magistrate of Changshe welcomes your lord!" The Magistrate of Changshe fell to the ground and buried his head deeply.
"Let's talk after we go in." Ye Long helped the county magistrate up and walked straight past him.
The magistrate of Changshe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Ye Long. He had no idea what Ye Long looked like before. Although he had seen portraits, the portraits of this era... were completely different from real people.
.
The county magistrate did not expect that his lord, who was far away in Fengqiu, would suddenly come to Changshe.
And he still abides by the rules... If it were him, he would have just led people into the county house and reported nothing.
This entire Changshe belongs to you, you can go wherever you want.
However, his lord asked the housekeeper to inform him and waited outside the house until he showed up.
He felt uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if his lord had been waiting for a long time and would cause trouble for him.
After all, he, the county magistrate, was given to him by his lord.
"Take my token and send someone to summon General Zhao Yun. I'll discuss it with him." Just after entering the county hall, before the stool was warm, Ye Long looked at the county magistrate and said.
"No!" The county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief, took Ye Long's jade pendant, and walked out.
"Husband, the Changshe County Magistrate seems to be very afraid of you." Zhang Chunhua asked in surprise as he watched the Changshe County Magistrate lower his head and hunched over, and cautiously leave.
Judging from her intelligence, when Ye Long settled in Yingchuan, he didn't stay there for long at all. He only left 20,000 troops and horses, and then led other troops to surprise Chen Liu, killed Liang Zhongning, and occupied Chen Liu.
He stayed and never came back to Yingchuan County again.
But the magistrate of Changshe was so afraid of his husband, they must have never met him before.
"My husband has a reputation for being evil. Those who are officials and have wealthy clans are naturally afraid of me." Zhen Mi thought for a while and said.
"It's not fear, it's awe! Those who are really afraid of me are those who have Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts." Ye Long raised the corners of his mouth and said narcissistically. He just stood here and made these officials afraid.
That all shows your success.
As Zhen Mi said, he has a really bad reputation when it comes to officials and wealthy clans.
Many local clan giants wanted to cut Ye Long into pieces with thousands of knives and criticized him with words and writings, but it was of no use. Ye Long said it clearly, I am a thief by birth, what can you do to me? I will use force to suppress him absolutely.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
It's such a simple multiple-choice question, just choose it yourself.
With an army in his hands, who is he afraid of?
Especially since the current court could do nothing to him. If Dong Zhuo wanted to send troops to attack him, he would have to capture Hulao Pass and Jiguan Pass.
Either send troops from Henan Yin. If you send troops from Henan Yin, it will be like being made dumplings by him.
Hanoi, Dongjun, and Yingchuan counties can send troops at the same time to repel the enemy.
Zhang Chunhua and Zhen Mi were thoughtful.
My husband seems to suppress the wealthy clans very hard, but the ones who suppress are also the wealthy clans who bully and exploit the people. Those wealthy clans that treat the people well, my husband has never suppressed them, and will even give them opportunities to let them.
Opportunities for them to make a fortune.
For example, Zhang Chunhua's Zhang family and Sima Yi's Sima clan received huge benefits.
