Chapter 178: Acting on behalf of the heavens
Several letters of appointment were issued from Puyang and passed to Liang, in fact, the first few people on the letters of appointment were necessary, except for the last Ma Chao. Yan Bei didn't think about where to transfer him at all, but just patted his head and said that he would transfer him to Xuzhou. As for why, it's probably because Xuzhou is far away.
Yanbei is also about a precedent for opening up the territory of the feudal officials, and Ma Teng's annexation of the state pastor has already been promised before, as a reward for capturing Han Sui and pacifying Liangzhou. Zhao Yun also made great contributions, not to mention that he had a stable reputation in Liangzhou, which was enough to defend Liangzhou, which lost Han Sui...... In the end, there are still Song Jian and others who are still divided, and there will be no more big battles behind Liangzhou, but small battles cannot be avoided. After all, it is located in a remote area, and it is impossible for Yanbei to always look there, so he sent Ying Shao who can be entrusted with important tasks.
Ying Shao has been Taishan Taishou for several years in the past, and later transferred to Zhao County Taishou and Zhao Guoxiang, although they are all peaceful areas, their political achievements are often the crown of Jizhou, and they are really talented and learned officials. What's more, sending Ying Shao to Liangzhou to serve as the assassin is not to let him govern, Liangzhou's political affairs still rely on the people of Liangzhou to govern, he is nothing more than a supervisor. There are many people in the world who can do the history of Liangzhou Thorn, but there are not many cadres in the Yan Shogunate who can send letters directly to Yanbei.
Ying Shao was captured in the war between Yuan and Yan, which was considered lucky, and his two nephews Ying Ying and Ying Xuan were both named Zhao Du for their literary talents, one was appointed as a general and one was a subordinate of Zhao State, and they would play a great role in the future, so Ying Shao was also firmly tied to Yan's chariot.
Only this Ma Chao really made Yan Bei not know where to send him. It is definitely not good to put it in Liangzhou, Ma's prestige is high enough in Liangzhou, although Yanbei's idea will attract criticism of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but it has to be so, in the end, he is also kind to Ma...... Ma Yuan, the ancestor of the Ma family, once served as the general of Fubo, and Ma Teng was just a side branch of the Ma family, but now that Ma Riyan, the descendant of the Fufeng Ma family, has passed away, Ma Teng's branch has become the heir of the Fufeng Ma family, and Yanbei gave Ma Chao the position of general Fubo.
Enough kindness.
As for the rest of the matter, it is nothing more than to let Ma Chao continue to be loyal to the Yan family for this official title that inherits the glory of the ancestors, and fight bravely.
Yizhou is much easier for Yanbei than Liangzhou, Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Tianshi's decisiveness in dealing with the war made Yanbei Gao take a look, although he did not send reinforcements to Yizhou, but Zi Si Li sent armor and ordnance for several months in a row to provide Zhang Lu with some assistance. And these are exactly what Zhang Lu needs most, far more reassuring than directly sending an army.
Although there is only one county in Hanzhong, it is like a state compared to Yizhou, with enough people Zhang Lu and enough believers, what he lacks is enough armed armor. Most of Zhang Tianshi's subordinates were only able to use bamboo spears and bamboo armor in the initial war with Liu Zhang, so they suffered heavy casualties. However, after receiving the Yan clan's ordnance, the battle situation changed.
Yizhou is in Liu Zhang's hands, and the sergeant has low combat effectiveness. This can't be all blamed on Liu Zhang, Yizhou because of its geographical location, the people have not experienced war for many years, and the only army capable of fighting with the princes of the Central Plains is from Nanyang and Sanfu who fled to form the Dongzhou soldiers who are rationed to Yizhou, which is also the reason why Yizhou can be preserved in the Liu Yan era. However, since the war in the Central Plains, after the Dongzhou soldiers experienced the losses caused by the rebellion of Gan Ning and others in the early years, they did not have many troops, and the bad relationship with Zhang Lu meant that Liu Zhang needed to recruit new soldiers from the state...... When the war resumes, these new recruits are simply not enough.
From Yanbei's point of view, Zhang Tianshi's Five Doumi Sect is not bad, if it weren't for ****, he would even have plans to promote this branch of Taoism to the world. How terrible a fanatical religious believer is, he could not be more aware of the title of the Yellow Turban Remnant Party in his early years, and if this kind of terrible thing is implemented on him, that is, as long as he has a little bit of fundamentalism, he can easily win over hundreds of Yellow Turban Remnants.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were not many Yellow Turban believers scattered all over the world, among which there were not many real fanatical believers left, and most of those brainless people were martyred in the Jizhou battlefield for the great sages and good teachers, and were beheaded by Huangfu Song to make the Jingguan Shock and Deter Yu Party. But what is really terrible is precisely the outlaw of his faith. Sun Qing is like this, Wang Dang is like this, and even Zhang Yan and others in Montenegro are like this, they are all outlaws with different origins and devotions, but they are connected by their joint participation in a massive rebellion.
The power of faith for a nation does not lie in what it restricts a person to act by. The true power of faith is to divide so many aimless people into the same category and claim to be in this way, and this common experience gives people a bridge to communicate and makes it easy for two people who have never known each other to get together.
"Why do you want to implement five buckets of rice? This is not to promote five buckets of rice, and it doesn't matter if the rest is fine, but there must be faith, so that some people have faith. You shouldn't have noticed that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was huge, and ordinary people were easily caught up in the rebellion. Yan Bei knocked lightly on the table and said, "But there are two types of people who have barely joined the rebellion, and they are still trying to fight with the Yellow Turban Sect. First, there are those who listen to the Buddha. ”
When the boundless Yellow Sea pounced from Jizhou in all directions, the small White Horse Temple near Luoyang had a great ability to resist, and many believers who listened to the Buddha spontaneously joined the camp of the great general He Jin, although they did not really join the battlefield, but they were fully prepared to resist the rebellion.
"And the second type of people are the court sergeants." These court sergeants in Yanbei's mouth are not the soldiers of the states and counties earlier, but the court sergeants who recruited the world to be brave and brave, and made the five schools of the Northern Army of the General's Mansion send troops, even if they will be defeated in the battle with the rebels, most of them will not surrender, "Why is this?" They believe in heaven! ”
This is the local belief of the Central Plains, people believe in heaven and respect heaven, so even the yellow sky of Zhang Jiao has to have something to do with the sky.
"The king intends to promote the Golden People of the Western Regions?" Guo Jia shook his head, his eyebrows were worried, and said: "The one who listens to the Buddha is not a good person, and he has set up an unknown number of Futu Temples in Xuzhou, collecting gold and silver, and it is not an unreasonable killing, and in a blink of an eye, there are more than 100,000 believers, which can confuse everyone with fallacies." ”
"Is there any benefit to the Buddhists who practice the collection of gold and silver? There is less and less gold and silver in circulation, and it is necessary not only to push but also to ban it. Yan Bei shook his head, and while talking and laughing, he cut off the legitimacy of foreign religions in Zhao Kingdom, raised his hand and said: "God, heaven is much better than them." I will do the will of God, let the will of God fulfill the people on my behalf! ”
"You gather some talented people, don't engage in fox barking, fish belly books and other prophecies, and let the will of heaven kill Han." Yan Bei's eyes were shining, maybe only a person like him who had never sincerely sacrificed to the heavens a few times in his life would be so bold to reveal his disrespectful thoughts, "Pray that the rainy season will thunder in the coming year, let Tai Shici secretly dig up the wall of Yecheng this year, and when the thunder strikes next year, Yan will collapse the city!" ”
