Chapter 736 Desolation outside Xiangxian County
Dong Hou left Changyi a few days ago and wanted to return to Chang'an to preside over the propaganda work of the public opinion war. At the same time, Dong Hu also wrote letters with Daya, Xu Huang and Gao Shun respectively.
The letter to Daya mainly reported the situation in Yanzhou and Qingzhou to the cabinet, and explained the conditions for agreeing to Xun Yu. These are all official words and are part of the work of the "Outside General" to report to the cabinet. Although he is the king of Liang, Yan, Qing, and Sili's lieutenant department, these procedures must be done. The report mainly includes four aspects of "military, political and civil laws", including some data.
Because the time is too short, many things are made up of, and cannot be achieved to a more accurate extent. For example, the number of fields is divided into dry land, paddy fields, mountain fields, and large acres and small acres; for example, the population situation can also be divided into male and female ratios, the proportion of the elderly, middle adolescents, etc. These are extremely important data, not only for the purpose of levying taxes, but also for the formulation of more reasonable tax policies and risk control in the future.
The time was too short and the officials in various counties were not experienced enough, so Dong Hu could only write a "Qingyan Government Report" and "Qingyan Military Operation Report" in a grand manner, which was to set an example for future officials and to strengthen the majesty of Chang'an. After all, he, as a lord, had to write a work report to the cabinet. What qualifications and reasons do other people have to not write honestly?
When writing letters with Xu Huang, he mainly asked him to arrange the affairs of Hanzhong County and prepare to go to Nanyang County to serve as the prefect.
No matter how many Liu Yan and Liu Bian brothers are, they are members of the Han Dynasty royal family. Unless Dong Hu scares the two of them with cruelty and violence, or imprisons or marginalizes them, they will definitely hesitate about the "morning" matters and intentionally or unintentionally damage the interests of the Liangzhou army. In order to avoid too many accidents, Hanzhong County and Nanyang County need to have some direct forces, such as Dong Sixiao and Dong Sijie as the fifth-rank general of Hanzhong County, and Xu Huang as the prefect of Nanyang County.
The letter to Gao Shun was mainly because Dong Hu hoped that Gao Shun could stay in Nanyang County. He valued Gao Shun's camp very much. It would be a pity if he followed Liu Bian to Hanzhong County. He also expressed this meaning to Liu Bian in private.
The troops trained by Gao Shun were somewhat similar to Dong Buyicon. I don’t know if he was influenced by Dong Buyicon or if he himself tended to fight in the military formation. This kind of training method is more suitable for fighting in the open areas of the Central Plains, and there are many mountains in Sichuan and Shu. When attacking Sichuan and Shu, Dong Sixiao and Dong Sijie suffered such losses.
Mountain jungle warfare is very different from plain military formations. Mountain jungle warfare is more about scattered lines and small military formations. After Gao Shun was transferred to Hanzhong County, it was difficult to say whether he could adapt. Therefore, he hoped that Gao Shun could stay in Nanyang County and be Zhao Yun's deputy or the main force on the flank attacking Runan County, it was much better than going to Hanzhong County and unable to obtain military achievements for a long time.
Of course, Dong Hu also gave Gao Shun enough respect, and he could choose to stay or leave by himself.
Gao Shun and Zhao Yun were both very strong generals. Cao Cao captured Gao Shun, but Gao Shun followed Lu Bu to death without saying a word. Zhao Yun was even more unknown and acted as Liu Bei's close friend for decades.
Zhao Yun was from Changshan County, and Changshan County was the place with the largest number of military forts in the Han Dynasty. It was an important force to resist the Wuwan people in Youzhou and the Xiongnu people in Bingzhou.
Hebei is flat. Once Youzhou cannot resist the invasion of the Wuwan people, hundreds of forts in Changshan County will become the second line of defense in Hebei. Although Changshan County is backed by Taihang Mountain, if Changshan County does not restrain Changshan soldiers and horses, if the Wuwan people go deep into Jizhou, they will be in danger of being cut off by Changshan soldiers and horses. Moreover, when there is danger in Youzhou, the court will often mobilize Changshan soldiers and horses to take the initiative to resist the Wuwan people.
Secondly, Jingxing Road is within Changshan County, and can directly enter Taiyuan County through Jingxing Road. Once the Huns invade Taiyuan County, the court can mobilize Changshanwu Fort troops to reinforce from Jingxing Road.
Yuan Shao besieged Heishan Army and easily killed the Heishan Army affiliated to Luqian Mountain in Baixing and Heishan Army affiliated to Wukou Xing, but he was unable to kill Zhang Yan's troops in Jingxing until Yuan Shao and his sons died. Zhang Yan was still alive. The big reason was that the Jingxing troops were affiliated to Changshan County, and Zhang Yan's subordinates were originally members of the Wubao Han soldiers.
The Han Dynasty had military forts in Changshan, Fufeng, Hanyang, Longxi and other places, which were military farms like garrisons. The only difference was that the fort itself was also a powerful soldier. Because these places were closer to the Qiang, Hu, and were prone to plunder and invasion by Qiang, Hu, and even if the government did not care, the local powerful would instinctively build forts to resist. The people were martial and the military atmosphere was strong, which was very different from ordinary people.
Military docks are semi-military and semi-civilian spontaneous. The Ming Dynasty's garrisons were official military units. Once a large number of military farms were lost, their combat effectiveness would decrease rapidly and their awareness of autonomy was slightly worse. The Han Dynasty's docks were also spontaneously formed by local tyrants, with stronger autonomy and greater combat effectiveness.
Zhao Yun has lived in such an environment since he was a child. If he can record a record in history, his ability to fight will naturally not be weaker than any of Liu Bei's men, but he has been hidden for decades, but Zhao Yun has no slight dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yun can live in peace with the arrogant Guan Yu, be brothers with the irritable Zhang Fei, and be willing to stay by Liu Bei's side silently. Of course, there will be no problems with Gao Shun. Moreover, one rider and one stepper can make up for each other's shortcomings.
I thought so, but he didn't want to force Gao Shun and Zhao Yun too much, and they still had to choose everything themselves. After this choice, it determined the key to whether they can take on major responsibilities in the future.
Zhao Yun will definitely go to Xiang County with Xun Yu, Liu Xie and Liu Yan, and will definitely meet Liu Bei. If the "Suyuan" incident happened to the two and Gao Shun accepted the suggestion to stay in Nanyang County, this means that they have recognized the fact that Dong Hu is the "lord", and they will definitely be the leader in the future.
The two of them have the ability and are absolutely loyal to their lords. The only thing that makes Dong Hu uncertain and unconfident is whether they really regard him as the loyal lord.
He has done everything he should do and shouldn't do, and left it to them to decide the rest.
Liu Yan died of illness, and Dong Hu was unable to react immediately. Now Tao Qian also heard that he was seriously ill. Dong Hu was temporarily staying in Yanzhou, like ordinary people, he brought his soldiers to farm in the fields. Seeing him like this, the people worked harder to farm.
On the other hand, Xun Yu, Liu Yan, Liu Bian, Zhao Yun and others also took several days to enter Xiang County. Their arrival was greatly welcomed. The state governor Liu Yao, generals of the Guard Zhu Ye, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, three generals of the Central Army, and a group of civil and military officials all went out of the city to welcome him.
Liu Yan is no longer the little girl from ten years ago. She doesn't believe in Liu Yao. Zhu Jun would have no way to get some fields. As for the people's concerns that the soldiers rush to cut wheat... that would make people even more angry.
"The people are worried that the soldiers will rush to cut wheat valley... Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Sili School Command... Even in Yanzhou, Qingzhou people never worry about tiger widows. Didn't the tiger widows personally take the soldiers to farm?"
