Chapter Seventy-Six: The Hero of the Liang Country
Yanbei also began to care about reputation, and when Guo Jia proposed the idea of marrying Lu Bu, the first thought in Yanbei's mind was what the people of the world would think about this matter...... Yan Zhongqing bullied others and forcibly accepted the youngest daughter of the refuge prince Lu Fengxian as a concubine?
There are still people in the township who call him Yan Gong, what will those people who have never seen him think of him if they know about it. What's more, he still thinks it's better to call Lu Bu a brother, a person with a character like Lu Fengxian, there are only two possibilities for this kind of thing, or Lu Bu doesn't agree, and the relationship that was originally slightly bridged suddenly breaks down, causing unpredictable consequences; Once Lu Bu agrees, I'm afraid he will have to regard himself as the Emperor of the Yan Clan in Youji Erzhou.
In September, Chang'an's Jiao Touch sent a message to Yecheng at the end of the summer that the imperial court was ready to move eastward, and the precursor escorted court objects had entered Huayin. Baiguan Gongqing will also rush to Luoyang in late September, and may settle in Hongnong this winter, hoping that Yanbei can be prepared.
As for what to prepare, Jiao Touch didn't say. But everyone knows that in the face of this major event, Yanbei needs to make too many preparations.
After Yang Feng led his troops to garrison Pingyin as a pioneer, Sanfu's letters were transmitted to Yecheng one after another. The first thing to come back was the imperial court's response to Yanbei's Biao Suli as Shan Yu in the eastern part of Xianbei. Whether it is the hundred officials of the imperial court or Li Dao Guo Yan, or even the little emperor of Chang'an, people are very interested in Xianbei attached, and the imperial court issued an edict to entitle Su Li as the king of Han Xianbei Guiyi, and the bounty is 10,000 catties of silk and 10,000 horses, and he lives in Yecheng, and his subordinates are led by his younger brother Chenglu proposed by Yanbei.
At the same time, the exploits of Yanbei to break the Xianbei of Saibei, the edict was added to the relocation of 3,000 Xianbei households in Xiangping, and the Marquis of Xiangping was added to the food yi. At the same time, the reward for the political affairs of the two states of Youji was given to the governor of Yanbei...... Yan Bei looked at this kind of edict with no sadness or joy on his face.
The wool comes out of the sheep, and the court will never be able to take out the reward given to Suli, and in the end it will have to be rewarded by itself. As for the food estate, the taxes of the entire two states of Youji were intercepted by him, what is the use of just 3,000 households? The name of the Governor Youji is quite big, and with the General Youji Military Affairs that was given to him a long time ago, all his affairs in the two northern states have become justified, but this does not seem to be meaningful.
Is the imperial court so accustomed to rewarding Yanbei with Yanbei's own things?
However, looking at Han Fu and Zhang Miao, who came to visit and congratulate the military and political affairs of Yanbei General Erzhou, it seems that this edict still has a little meaning in the eyes of others. Therefore, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao is different from Lu Bu, although they both ran from Yanzhou, but Zhang Miao himself does not have much ambition, not to mention that Yanbei and his old friendship are much more than Lu Bu, and Hushi Dian Wei behind him still took thousands of blades and five hundred war horses from Zhang Miao's hands in exchange.
Zhang Miao is also much more comfortable than Lu Bu in Yecheng. The most important thing is that Zhang Mengzhuo is not as ambitious as Lu Bu, and he never said that he wanted to borrow a piece of land from Yanbei or anything...... Yanbei was under house arrest, so he and his family lived in the courtyard, and after being released, he did not move or contact Yanbei's subordinates at will, at most occasionally went to the former general's mansion to have dinner with Yanbei.
Even if he wanted to take his family to go around the city, he would come to the door and ask Yanbei to send some riders to escort him.
Zhang Miao reassured Yanbei. Not to mention anything else, as long as Zhang Miao and his brother Zhang Chao stay at ease in Youji, Yanbei will definitely be able to reuse them in the future, although the two are not like the princes, and the princes are not like the princes, but the ability to protect the territory and the people and govern a place is not bad at all.
Unexpected surprises came to Yecheng one after another.
In mid-September, a letter was sent from Qingzhou. When Chen Liu was broken by Cao Cao, Zang Hong, who was still under the rule of Yuan Shao Qingzhou, heard that he advocated being trapped by Chao, and wanted to lead all the soldiers and horses to Yanzhou to fight with Cao Cao, and asked Yuan Shao for reinforcements, Yuan Shao did not allow it, and then Zang Hong rebelled against Yuan Shao, led the troops to the north, and was besieged by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Dongwuyang City, and besieged the city for three months.
Later, the news reached that Donglai and Tian Yu led troops to the north to harass the counties south of Yuan Shao, and at the same time Zhang Chao also sent a letter to Dongwuyang, informing Zang Hong that he and his brother Zhang Miao had defected to Yanbei in Jizhou, and Zang Hong abandoned the city to the north, led 700 soldiers to cross the Yellow River, and entered Yanbei to become a minister.
By October, unexpected letters came from Huayin...... Since Li Dao Guo Yan entered Chang'an, the old general of Liangzhou, who did not raise troops together at that time, Duan Xuan, the Zhonglang general of Huayin, sent a letter and expressed his closeness to Yanbei.
Yan Bei looked at Duan Xuan's letter and smiled dumbly. He didn't know whether to say whether Duan Zhuo was loyal or a ghost, when Li Dao Guo Yan raised troops to attack the west, Duan Xuan refused to avenge Dong Zhuo, and only stationed in Huayin, even after Li Dao Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, he still didn't dare to dictate to him, and now, it seems that he senses that the eastward move of the imperial court will inevitably make Duan Xuan's form more complicated, and send a message to Yanbei.
Although this may not show how close Duan Xuan is to Yanbei, it definitely shows that Duan Xuan is unwilling to join forces with Li Guo, and is even worried that he will have a bad relationship with Li Guo, so he wants to show goodwill to the Yan clan, the lord of the Northeast, when the imperial court decides to move east.
In any case, Yan Bei was very useful to Duan Xuan's overtures, and immediately replied to Duan Xuan and asked him for his views on the situation in the imperial court and the world.
Duan Xuan also had a Liangzhou army of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he could join forces with him, coupled with the Yan clan's arrangement in Luoyang, Duan Xuan, Yang Feng, Liu Bao, Bei Yan and Han Fu's subordinates in Hanoi would have become a decisive force, even Li Guo and his troops might not dare to act rashly.
What's more, their grain is still in the hands of the Yan clan!
Taking advantage of the bright autumn sunshine, Yanbei took his family and cronies to go out of the city and go to Taihang Mountain to play. There are Fu Zhu and Xun Yue in charge of military affairs, Guo Jia and Chen Qun are in charge of shogunate affairs, Tunlu Yi Gaolan on the north bank of the Yellow River, Yandong guards the northern frontier of Youzhou, and Suli is attached to Yecheng to receive the King of Guiyi.
The world is still in turmoil, but in the first year of Xingping before the birth of Yanbei's second son, it is rare to be able to take a break and relax to see the changes brought to Jizhou under one hand.
In two years, Yanbei mobilized more than 2 million stones of grain to put Jizhou, which was damaged by the war, on the right track. The counties are too shou, the big county orders have been selected to fill the office, the first year of Xingping harvest, although not as rich as Jizhou in the past peaceful era, but can also reach sixty percent of Youzhou, how much taxes are confiscated, but the state and county have been able to be self-sufficient, and the displaced people from all over the country are included in the household registration by the county and county, and the land is borrowed. The pressure on Youzhou in the future will be greatly reduced, and the only remaining expenditure will be to supply the grain and grass consumed by the imperial court after the eastward migration.
The grain and grass sent to the imperial court was less than one-third of appeasing the people of Jizhou, so what was it for General Yan, who was rich in the north?
Standing on the top of Taihang, holding the sunset slowly sinking in the west, Yanbei could feel that he was far from the supreme authority in the world...... It's getting closer.
