", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and rain is obscure Section 24 July of the first year of Guangxi of the Han Kingdom (189 AD).

In late June, due to heavy rains, the water of the Yellow River swelled, and the counties along the river in Hebei, Qingdao and Yanzhou suffered floods again, and the number of people affected reached one million.

With no way out, these victims left their homes and traveled north to Bingzhou. Although Jizhou Mu Yang Qi obstructed in many ways, he still could not stop the migration of the victims.

The victory of the Great War in Northern Xinjiang and the annexation of Tuntian gave these victims hope to survive, and they embarked on the road of moving north in order to survive.

At the beginning of July, General Xian Yufu of Fenwei, General Zhang Yan of Yanglie, and General Zhao Qi of Hutian Zhonglang urgently consulted after hearing the news, and finally unanimously decided to blockade Huguan to prevent the victims from entering the country.

At the same time, the three adults allocated a large amount of disaster relief materials to Huguan to relieve the victims, and on the other hand, they urgently reported to the imperial court and the general Li Hong.

At this time, Li Hong came to write and told them that the army had finished resting and was hurrying south. Li Hong said that in view of the fact that there was too much rain on the grassland this year, it was very difficult to transport grain and grass, and the army was short of military supplies, he decided to take the 16th battalion of 56,000 soldiers to the south.

In the letter, Li Hong ordered Xian Yufu to immediately order 100,000 Tuntian soldiers to go north and enter the Longshan camp, leaving only Zhang Baiqi, the general of Nongzhonglang, and 20,000 Tuntian soldiers to guard the fields.

In addition, he also ordered Zhang Yan to send the captain Peng Lie to immediately lead his troops north to garrison the Flying Fox Fortress. Xian Yufu, Zhang Yan and Zhao Qi were taken aback.

What is the Shogun going to do? Without the order of the Son of Heaven, the general of the Che Cavalry ordered the retreat of the army without authorization, which is equivalent to rebellion, is he crazy?

Insufficient military supplies? It's even more unlikely. Before the arrival of the rainy season in the grassland in mid-June, Xian Yufu had already ordered the army left behind to organize millions of people, and sent all the food and ordnance for three months to Jiuyuan City and Yunzhong City from the Yellow River and Yunzhong in Henan.

It is impossible to run short of military supplies. Send 5,000 soldiers to the Flying Fox Fortress? What is the General doing controlling the Flying Fox Fortress at this time?

The Flying Fox Fortress guards the southern counties of Youzhou and the entire Jizhou, and has always been sent by Jizhou to send troops, does the general want to coerce Jizhou?

Without the consent of the Son of Heaven, the general directly ordered the conscription of 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, which not only violated the law of the Han Dynasty but also made people fearful, what did he want so many troops for?

The three of them were full of doubts and uneasiness, and they all knew that something big was going to happen in the state. Only two days later, the 800-mile fast ride paid off.

Li Hong ordered Xian Yufu to immediately open Huguan, release all the victims into Bingzhou, and temporarily resettle them in the western foothills of Taihang Mountain in Taiyuan County.

Xian Yufu was very strange, he asked Zhang Yan and Zhao Qi,

"What do you mean, General? Does he want to send the victims back to Jizhou? Zhang Yan thought for a long time and said: "For several years, our Yellow Turban Army has been staying in the area of Changshan Country and Zhongshan Country to fight, and the people of the two countries and surrounding counties are not only our source of soldiers but also our people. Later, we were defeated in Taihang Mountain, and the people there followed us up the mountain. So, now there are ten rooms and nine empty fields, and there is no difference from ruins. I think the adults are probably planning to send these people to Changshan and Zhongshan to go to Tuntian, right? Zhao Qi sighed worriedly: "The general has already arrived in Cloud City, and he will return to Jinyang in a few days." When the time comes, everything will be clear. "The matter of the re-occurrence of floods in Hebei, Qingdao and Yanzhou did not cause much shock in Luoyang, and now the attention of the entire Luoyang is in the northern Xinjiang, and it is all on the body of Li Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry.

Li Hong rode up to the Son of Heaven with a speed of 800 miles, because the early arrival of the rainy season in the grassland caused the transportation to be blocked, and the army was short of food and grass, so he had already led the army south to Jinyang.

The atmosphere in Gyeonggi suddenly became tense. Empress Dowager He immediately summoned the officials to discuss the matter. Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others first scolded Li Hong, saying that he was arrogant and daring, and dared to order the army to withdraw to Jinyang without obeying the holy order, and should be beheaded according to the law.

But scolding is scolding, and things have to be resolved. Li Hong couldn't wait to retreat to Jinyang, definitely not because of the lack of grain and grass, there must be other reasons, is it because of the edict of the first emperor?

If Li Hong led the main force of the army to fall down at this time, I believe that whether it is Dong Zhuo who garrisoned Hedong or the 40,000 Xiyuan Army stationed in Gyeonggi, they will be vulnerable.

The Queen Mother was frightened and pressed again and again.

"From the minister's point of view, it is better to give an order to the general of the Che Cavalry in the name of the Son of Heaven first, ordering him to temporarily garrison the north of the Great Wall and not to withdraw to Jinyang." Zhao Zhong said,

"The Northern Xinjiang War has just ended, the border counties have just been recovered, and the army should not retreat immediately, he should be very clear about this. If he insisted on leading the army to withdraw to Jinyang, he would be convicted of the crime of rebellion. The Queen Mother can tell the world because of this, so that everyone in the world knows Li Hong's intention to rebel, and at that time, he will be the rebel of the Great Han Kingdom that everyone will be condemned for. ”

"He has the edict of the first emperor and an army composed of Hu people and ant thieves, how much can this edict be of great use to him?" Zhang Rang waved his hand worriedly and said,

"Hussar General Dong Chong and Empress Dowager Dong died one after another, and this matter has already caused a lot of trouble in the city. If Li Hong held high the edict of the first emperor at this time and led the army south into Beijing in the name of eradicating traitors, would we be able to stop it? How many people in this world will think that the brilliant chariot general will rebel? Even the ministers of the clan in the court are afraid that they will follow him and turn against him. Guo Sheng said dejectedly: "When Li Hong was still fighting the Northern Xinjiang War, we were worried that he would go south, but we didn't expect him to come just after the Northern Xinjiang War. I knew that this would be better than cutting off his food and grass and making him ......"

"You know what?" Zhao Zhong squinted his eyes and scolded,

"Then he'll come sooner. After the first emperor returned to heaven, we did not fully control the Xiyuan Army, and our strength was not good, if the scholars and generals used this as an excuse to attack us, under the anger of the public, we would have been finished long ago, and you could still stand here and speak? ”

"You Aiqing better think of a good plan as soon as possible, right?" The Queen Mother urged again.

"Li Hong is now going south under the pretext of lack of food and grass, and he has not taken out the edict of the first emperor, which shows that the general himself is also worried." Zhang Rang said,

"What is he worried about? It is nothing more than the fear that access to Beijing will be blocked. ”

"At present, there are 100,000 troops in the Gyeonggi area, including Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, the Xiyuan Army and the Northern and Southern Armies. If Li Hong's army was intercepted by the 100,000-strong army of Gyeonggi, coupled with the tall and strong Luoyang City, he might not be able to attack it for a long time. As soon as the war drags on and the tide turns, things get into trouble. No matter how strong the strength of the general of the chariot cavalry is, he will not be able to confront the entire Han Kingdom in the case of a shortage of food and grass, he will be a dead end, and at that time he will become a rebellious minister and thief even if he has the edict of the first emperor. So the minister thinks that we can send someone to talk to him and see what Li Hong means? Zhang Rang stretched out his hand to flick the ash on his clothes, and then said contemptuously: "A warrior from a lowly background like him, what else does he need besides power and wealth?" We can give him what the first emperor can give him, and we can give him what the first emperor can't give him. Wouldn't it be better for us to let him have power, power, money, and money, and make him a member of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother? ”

"You mean to give him a promotion? Give him money? Duan Jue asked,

"If he is insatiable and wants to take charge of the military and political power in Northern Xinjiang, will we also agree?"

"What if you don't say yes?" Zhao Zhong said,

"If Li Hong holds high the edict of the first emperor and waves his army south in the name of eradicating traitors, who of you can be sure that Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and the ministers in Beijing will not rise up and respond? At that time, whether we were the general, or the general, His Majesty and the Queen Mother, who would survive? ”

"We can ...... the little prince" Zhang Gong, the regular attendant, made a killing gesture,

"In this way, what is the use of the edict of the first emperor?"

"Do you have a brain? At this time, the little prince is gone, and the biggest possibility is to anger Li Hong and the ministers of the court. Zhao Zhong glared and scolded,

"Is the little prince important? Without the little prince Li Hong, he can still support a foreign vassal as the emperor, you can't think of such a simple thing? Zhang Gong lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

"What was written in the edict of the first emperor? Do you want Li Hong to go south and support Xiao Donghou as the emperor? Song Dian hesitated and asked,

"Shall we wait a little longer and see what Master He from Shangshutai has to say when he returns? Li Hong's retreat this time may be because of the fact that the victims entered Jin. Empress Dowager He, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others all looked at Song Dian like idiots.

At this time, he still has this kind of thought, it is incredible.

"That's good." Zhao Zhong sneered,

"You and Li Hong have known each other since they were in Xiliang, and they can be regarded as old friends, so you go to Jinyang to announce the decree. By the way, ask him, what did the first emperor write in his edict? Song Dian's face froze, and he wanted to refuse but didn't dare to say it.

The fact that the general of the Che Cavalry led the army south to retreat to Jinyang also shocked Yuan Kui and a group of Han ministers. He Hao didn't come back, and no one knew what Li Hong's intentions were?

But no matter what Li Hong wants to do, one thing is certain, that is, Li Hong must not be allowed to go south to Beijing, let alone let the army in northern Xinjiang fight with the army stationed in Gyeonggi.

Once the two sides are at war, Li Hong will have no way back, and the consequences will be self-evident. After this catastrophe, the national strength of the Han Kingdom is bound to decline even more.

After careful deliberation by Yuan Kui, Ding Gong, Lu Zhi and others, they vetoed the idea of using Li Hong's power to eradicate the traitors in Luoyang, and decided to revitalize the dynasty according to the method that had been discussed.

Now if the power of Li Hong is used to uproot the power of the traitorous eunuch and the general, how can Li Hong's power be solved?

The warriors occupy the court, and the country is in decay and powerless, and there is no powerful emperor in the Han Kingdom to control the court, the consequences may be more serious than now, and the Han Kingdom may fall apart under the trampling of a group of warriors.

Yuan Kui and the others hurried to see the general He Jin. In order to prevent Li Hong from going south to Beijing, Yuan Kui planned to persuade He Jin to temporarily give up the attack on the traitorous eunuchs and join forces against Li Hong.

In any case, once Li Hong went south to Beijing, the first thing that was hurt was the Great Han Kingdom, and the second thing that was killed was the traitorous eunuchs and generals in the palace, and no one could escape the doom of annihilation.

Yuan Kui means that the general's Northern Army and the Hussar General's Xiyuan Army drove out of Luoyang at the same time to defend the key passes into Beijing, and garrisoned the three passes of Hangu, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, while the garrison of Luoyang City was handed over to Yuan Shao, the commander of Sili, and Yin Wangyun of Henan.

The general He Jin didn't seem to care about Li Hong's army's southward retreat, and he smiled and said to Yuan Kui: "Master Taifu seems to be too nervous. The general of the chariot cavalry only had part of his army marching south, and he didn't say anything about the edict of the first emperor, so we overreacted when we did this. This could backfire and fuel Lee's resolve. Yuan Kui, Ding Gong and others knew that the general was unwilling to leave the capital, so they persuaded him for a long time, and finally He Jin was persuaded by them.

He Jin said: "As long as all the Xiyuan troops go out of the city and rush to Sanguan, I will immediately lead the army to follow up." Yuan Kui was overjoyed and immediately entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

At this time, the Queen Mother had no idea, and everything was up to the officials. Although Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang agreed to the Xiyuan army to leave the city, they did not trust Yuan Shao and Wang Yun, and they demanded that Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, lead a battalion of men and horses to guard the palace.

Yuan Kui was helpless, and hurriedly left the palace to discuss with the general He Jin in the Baijun Mansion. Time passed gradually in Yuan Kui's two rushes and negotiations.

At this time, shocking news came again from Hedong. 100,000 Tuntian soldiers suddenly left the northeast of the river and entered the Jin. 100,000 Hedong Tuntian soldiers, plus more than 100,000 troops who withdrew south from Wuyuan County, the general Li Hong of the chariot cavalry actually wanted to gather more than 200,000 troops in Jinyang, needless to say, he knew what he was going to do.

The Queen Mother was angry and hurriedly ordered Cao Cao to lead the Xiyuan Army out of Beijing first, and the palace was guarded by Huben and Yulin.

The general He Jin did not lose his words, and then led the army into Duting. The Queen Mother said to Yuan Kui, Zhao Zhong and other ministers, you can discuss and discuss, give Li Hong and the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang a knighthood, and reward them heavily, so be sure not to be stingy.

After drawing up the holy decree, he told Song Dian to go north immediately, to be faster. Yuan Kui, Zhao Zhong and others quarreled before they could discuss a few words in Shangshutai.

Yuan Kui and a group of ministers meant to vigorously reward Li Hong's subordinates. In this way, there are more generals, there are more generals, and the status and power of the generals have increased, and the contradictions between the generals in the northern Xinjiang will inevitably appear, which will be of great benefit to the division and disintegration of the northern Xinjiang army in the future and the solution of Li Hong's disaster.

Zhao Zhong and the other regular servants did not think so. They believe that Li Hong's subordinates, in addition to the Hu people and ant thieves, are a group of lowly warriors from the northern and western frontiers, Xiang Xian Yu is supplemented by Hu blood, Xu Rong and Lu Yi are both extremely deserted and border warriors, Yan Rou is a horse bandit, and Yan Liang is a butcher who kills people without blinking.

If these people hadn't followed Li Hong to fight the world, they would have died as a captain of two thousand stones.

Zhao Zhong said that even if the imperial court now worshiped all of them as generals, they would not be grateful to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, on the contrary, they would be more grateful to Li Hong.

Without Li Hong, how could these people have their future? If you want to be rewarded, just reward Li Hong, so as not to waste money in vain.

Liu Hong said that now is an extraordinary period, this kind of reward is nominal, in the future, if Li Hong falls, these people will live to the end, who dares to keep them?

Zhang Rang said, whether it is a general, a lieutenant general, or a captain, they are all honorable titles in the Han Kingdom, how can there be a lot of letters?

In the past, Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, and even Huangfu Song led troops to fight, and their subordinates were all captains, how could there be so many generals and lieutenant generals?

Do you know how many lieutenants and lieutenants Li Hong had? There are nearly seventy of them. The 40,000 Xiyuan Army of our Great Han Kingdom is only eight captains, and the 30,000 Northern Army is only five captains.

It can't be sealed anymore, and if it is sealed like this, the captain will be worthless in the future. Yuan Kui thought to himself, can the captains of the Western Garden Army and the Northern Army be compared with the captains of the border army?

However, he didn't want to delay time in this matter, anyway, the addition of officials and knights could not stop Li Hong's army from moving south, so it was better to send people north as soon as possible to stabilize Li Hong, and it was the best policy to get in touch with Li Hong.

"Seal it however you want." The Son of Heaven immediately issued an order to worship the general of the chariot cavalry, Li Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of Yitong, the Marquis of Jinyang, the 5,000 households of Shiyi, and the military power of the two counties in the three states.

At the same time, Li Hong was asked to garrison the north of the Great Wall, and he was not allowed to go south without an order from the Son of Heaven. Li Hong's position is the same as that of the three dukes, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, and his status is respected, and it can't be bigger.

In the past, after Huangfu Song pacified the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the first emperor only sealed a left chariot general, the Marquis of Huaili, and 8,000 households.

Now among the generals, in addition to the general He Jin, it is him, and the hussar general He Miao is also one level worse than him.

However, now the situation is different, no matter how big the official is to seal Li Hong, the Empress Dowager He is willing, as long as Li Hong does not go south to Luoyang.

Song Dian, the regular attendant of the Central People's Republic of China, took this holy order and went north out of the city overnight under the escort of fifty Zhonghuang horsemen. He Hao returned to Luoyang.

Yuan Shao went out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

"Brother Boqiu, the general of the Che Cavalry has finally gone south, and you have made great contributions." Yuan Shao held He Hao's hand and said with a little excitement.

"I'm serious." He Hao lost a lot of weight due to the continuous travel, and his expression was very tired.

"As we expected, the general had too many worries to go south, but fortunately he was provoked by my words, and that night he commanded his army to go south. But ......"

"But how?" Yuan Shao hurriedly asked.

"But he was too demanding, far more than we expected." He Hao said with a frown,

"The Queen Mother, the General and the Taifu may not be willing to agree. If the two sides fail to negotiate, and the general of the Che Cavalry waves his army south, and Luoyang is in chaos, our sin will be great. ”

"Brother Boqiu is too worried." Yuan Shao said with a smile,

"The general of the chariot cavalry has now been worshiped by the Son of Heaven as the general of the chariot and the general Yitong. His current status is so respectful, no matter how high his requirements are, no matter how much he deviates from the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, what he does will not affect the imperial system, nor will it endanger the survival of the Great Han Kingdom, there is no doubt about this. You and I are well aware of the current situation of Bingzhou, and Li Hong's request will not leave Northern Xinjiang, nor will he leave Bingzhou. This is not too much wrong for the Great Han Kingdom. If the tuntian of the annexed state is successful, the disaster victims are solved, and the northern Xinjiang is stabilized, will our Han Kingdom be far from revitalization? ”

"Whether it is a traitor or a relative in power, the harm they have caused to the Great Han Kingdom is far greater than that of the general of the chariot and cavalry. We have seen how traitors and eunuchs abuse power and harm the country, and we have heard how relatives bring disaster to the country and the people, but have you ever seen Li Hong corrupt and pervert the law? Have you ever heard of him scourge one side? Yuan Shao said with great admiration,

"He's a hero, a real hero." He Hao smiled and whispered: "Originally, if Lord Taifu knew that we were still secretly helping He Jin, and even secretly manipulating the situation in Luoyang, he would have killed us." ”

"My uncle and Master Lu are both old, too timid, and too conservative. According to their approach, when will the scourge of eunuchs and relatives be resolved? It's in the bag? I think nine out of ten are unstable, and sooner or later something will happen, and you will have to kill yourself. You say, can Dong Zhuo be trusted? Can it be reused? Can it be easily solved in the future? After so many years, they can't even handle a bunch of eunuchs, can they still handle Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo should let him go back to Xiliang instead of entering Beijing. Yuan Shao said dissatisfiedly,

"Isn't it just to abolish a young emperor, what are you afraid of? Are you still afraid of taking on the name of killing the lord and leaving a lasting reputation? These old fools will regret it then. ”

"If Master Taifu knew that you were scolding him like this behind your back, he would break your legs." He Hao smiled,

"All the troops in the city are out of the city?"

"It's all out of the city, and there are only 2,000 people left to guard the palace and the two thousand people from our company's lieutenant's mansion, and the first goal has been achieved." Yuan Shao patted He Hao's shoulder and said,

"Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Luoyang City, and if you are not careful, it will be a situation where the jade will be burned, not to mention the palace at that time, even the Son of Heaven may not be able to keep it. Now that Luoyang City is fine, Gyeonggi wants to mess with it, and it doesn't matter. ”

"What about the county soldiers in Henan Prefecture?"

"The eunuch did not allow the army of the division to enter the city, so he had to leave the army in the tiger prison." Yuan Shao said,

"You just went to Luoyang at this time, did you go to Hangu Pass to see Meng De?" He Hao nodded,

"Meng De said that he has transferred Zhao Zhong's two henchmen, Zhao Rong and Xia Mu, to Mengjin, and if he does it, he will be beaten to death."

"At present, our troops are not enough, and we will not be able to do it until the general transfers Wang Kuangwu, Qiu Yi and Zhang Liao back to Beijing." Yuan Shao said with a smile,

"As soon as the Xiyuan Army leaves the city, we will be able to control the five battalions of soldiers and horses. As long as there is an army, things are much easier. Now the days left for the eunuchs are not long, and if the general can maintain the threat to Gyeonggi for a long time, then the disaster of the relatives can be solved. ”

"Things have to be done one by one, and if you are in a hurry, you will change." He Hao said,

"After so many years, what kind of person He Jin is, don't we know yet? Be careful. Yuan Shao laughed,

"Brother Boqiu, let's go, Master Taifu is waiting for your news in Shangshutai. We talked as we walked, and you told me about the requirements of the general of the chariot and cavalry, what are they? "Late at night, Shang Shutai.

He Hao was exhausted, but he still supported himself to report to more than a dozen ministers such as Taifu Yuan Kui, Situ Dinggong, Sikong Liu Hong, Shang Shuling Lu Zhi and Jiuqing Zhuqing.

"The edict of the first emperor to General Li was indeed an order for him to go south immediately after the end of the Northern Xinjiang War and support the little prince as the emperor." He Hao said,

"General Li didn't show me the edict of the first emperor, and I didn't ask to see it, but with General Li's loyalty to the Han Kingdom, he dared to lead his troops south, which already says everything. Since neither of us wants to disturb the country in the present situation, then there is no such order in the edict of the former emperor who has the right to become the emperor. ”

However, General Li was not willing to go against the will of the first emperor, he was worried about the future of himself and the armies in northern Xinjiang, worried about the tuntian and millions of victims in Bingzhou, and he did not believe that the prince and the imperial court would fully support him like the first emperor, so he insisted on going south to Beijing. I tried every means to persuade him, and in the end General Li promised that as long as the Son of Heaven agreed to all the conditions he proposed, he would give up going south to Beijing, give up the trust of the first emperor, and continue to defend the northern frontier for the Han state. "Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang were ordered by the Empress Dowager to also participate in the Shangshutai meeting today.

When the two heard He Hao say this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking that Li Hong would not propose any bad conditions such as killing the traitorous eunuch.

"General Li said that considering the current situation in the Great Han Kingdom, he has no intention of leading his army north to attack the Xianbei Kingdom this year." He Hao looked at everyone's stunned eyes and continued,

"General Li will relocate millions of victims into the tuntian south of the Hetao in the near future, and in addition, he will appease the people of the border counties, repair the pass city, and garrison the border counties, so he needs the Son of Heaven to give him 10 billion money. The 10 billion yuan includes food, military salaries, ordnance, tuntian materials, and so on. General Li said that if the imperial court could not afford to raise such a huge amount of supplies within the year, then give him the money and he would do it himself. ”

"Due to the increasing number of people who have moved north to the state, it is difficult for the state to support both land and money. For this reason, General Li demanded that the five counties of Beidi County in Xiliang, Dai County and Shanggu County in Youzhou, and Zhongshan Kingdom and Changshan State in Jizhou be included in the scope of Tuntian in Northern Xinjiang, and that in addition to Hedong County, which had already implemented military tun, General Li needed to add six more counties to Tuntian in addition to the nine counties in Bingzhou. He Hao smiled bitterly,

"There is nothing wrong with relocating the disaster victims to Tuntian, but General Li is not only tuntian in these fifteen counties, he also has to garrison troops in these fifteen counties, and he must be the captain of the garrison and lead the Taishou of these fifteen counties. His reasons were that one was to defend the border against the enemy, and the other was to suppress the riot. The ministers looked furious.

Liu Hong said angrily: "The six counties in this state are not his vassal state, and it is not his turn to have the final say in the military administration." Yuan Kui shook his hand at everyone,

"Don't speak, listen to Lord He." He Hao said: "General Li said that from now on, the period of Tuntian in northern Xinjiang will be ten years, and within these ten years, there will be no more state pastors in the prefecture, and the 15 counties will be led by the garrison captain, and the military and political power of the 15 counties will be in charge of General Li. Ten years later, he returned the military and political power of the fifteen counties. In addition, during the next 10 years, the taxes of these 15 counties were no longer paid to the state treasury, and all of them were used to cultivate farmland and resettle the victims. Ten years later, Tuntian was successful, and the taxes of these fifteen counties were returned to the national treasury. ”

"These fifteen counties, except for Hedong County, are currently very poor, and General Li is worried that Tuntian will be unsustainable, so he asked the Son of Heaven to allocate all the taxes of Jizhou to the two states within ten years. In order to ensure that Jizhou's tax revenues were not affected by the war, General Li requested that troops be stationed in Jizhou. The ministers couldn't bear it anymore, and the servant Yang Biao scolded even more.

Yuan Kui stood up, waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise, let's discuss after listening." He Hao shook his head and said weakly: "General Li said that within ten years, he will build 300,000 border troops in northern Xinjiang, of which 100,000 are iron cavalry. For the military resources of this 300,000 army, General Li asked the Son of Heaven to pay 5 billion yuan immediately, and he should immediately prepare to build horse farms and 100,000 iron cavalry in the Wuyuan and Yunzhong areas, so that he could attack the Xianbei Kingdom in the north in the future. ”

"Anything else?"

"General Li asked the Son of Heaven to immediately send the King of Bohai and Princess Changping to the Jizhou Domain, otherwise it would ......"

"Otherwise, how can I ......," Yuan Kui asked.

"Otherwise, he will lead an army of 200,000 to Luoyang south." He Hao said with a painful face,

"The strength of the army in the northern frontier is strong, and there are Hun iron cavalry and Karasuma iron cavalry to help, we are really difficult to resist, please think twice." Jump to!
