What was Youzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty?

Youzhou's jurisdiction includes Beijing, northern Hebei, most of Liaoning, north of Tianjin Haihe River and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, east of Fuyu, Goguryeo, Wofu, Huiqian, Wuhuan in the territory, is adjacent to and inhabited by many ethnic minorities of the state, and is the main production area of war horses, which is related to border security and the strength of the army, and is of great strategic significance.

In the words that are now in vogue, it is the cultural fault zone, the dividing line between the Huahu and even nomadic civilizations and the agrarian civilizations.

Most of the border states in the late Han Dynasty have great similarities, and even different paths to the same end. There is Qiang chaos in Liangzhou, and there are Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng in Liangzhou. There are Xiongnu and Xianbei in the state, and Lu Bu and Zhang Yang in the state. Youzhou has Wuhuan, Xianbei, Youzhou has Gongsun Zhan.

Most of these men, who have been dominant for a while from the border states, have similar life trajectories...... or loud voice, bold and ambitious; Or brutal and willful, and courageous.

No matter what kind of high position they eventually reach, in the end, their origins and roots are like an invisible line that restrains them all the time, and the class of the world is like the sky and the earth is thick, suppressing these momentary heroes, unheard of but clearly marking an invisible wall.

If you cross the line, you die!

This kind of truth can only be perceived between those corners and corners when we look back on history in later generations, and in the minds of people at that time, we absolutely could not have imagined such a thing.

It's like touching the familiar Great Wall in the dark night, taking over the city defense and controlling the defenders with elite soldiers, and then leading the troops along Nuruer Tiger Mountain all the way to Yanbei in Liaodong.

He had only one thought in his heart, that is, to kill Gongsun Zan in Liaodong!

Liaodong County, this county was divided into three counties of Changli, Xuansu and Liaodong in the following decades. And the current Xuansu County is no longer the hometown of Xuansu two hundred years ago...... There is a place called Goguryeo in Xuansu County, and the Marquis of Goguryeo is called the king, and later the name of Goguryeo was changed to Haguryeo in the Wang Mang era. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it accepted Goguryeo's offerings.

In other words, the former place of Xuansu County is the territory of Goguryeo, and the current Xuansu County is a piece cut out of Liaodong County to preserve the face of the royal family, but it also indirectly admits the fact that Xuansu County exists in name only.

Yanbei did not stay much in this land that made the Han people feel sad for no reason, Sun Qing's subordinate scouts had already entered Liaoxi and Liaodong to investigate the battle situation, while Yanbei led the army to sweep through Xuansu with a posture that no one dared to stop, and went straight to Liaodong.

Compared with the chaos caused by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion to the two prefectures of Youji, Liaodong County is like a piece of paradise. In the past, when there was no chaos, it was like a three-regardless area, where Wuhuan and Han people lived together, giving the local tribes a great soil for survival. Sometimes even the decree of the Youzhou Assassin is difficult to restrain the big clans here, and the officials in the county are even more self-disciplined, and no one can discipline them.

Yanbei's soldiers and horses invaded Liaodong after the scouts, and the 20,000-strong army was connected to heaven and earth, and they captured Xiangping, the first county of Liaodong County, with their usual strategy of first exploring and then stealing the city and killing people.

This is the hometown of Yanbei and Wang Yi, but on the day of entering the city, Wang Yi led the crowd to kill the Xiangping County Government Office to the blood, which frightened the county Zhongda clan and hurriedly fled to the Wubao outside the city.

Yanbei knew very well that now was not the time to talk about nostalgia, Yanbei, who was wearing a helmet and armor, sat on a stool wiped clean with blood, and ordered someone to drag away the corpse of Sun Zhao, the commander of Xiangping County, while spreading out a map on the ground, calling Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, Wang Dang, Lu Yi, and Fu Zhu together to ask them for advice.

As for Wang Yi and Li Damu, they led thousands of soldiers and horses to roam outside Xiangping City, besieging Wu Fort, who had died in the county officials' temples, in order to prevent them from raising troops to rebel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we have arrived in Liaodong, and we don't know how the war in Liaoxi will proceed...... Yan wants to ask, what will happen in the future? ”

In fact, Yanbei had his own ideas, he had already made the decision to paint the land as the king on the way to Xiangping in Liaodong, because of this, he did not hesitate to send his warriors to deceive the east gate of Xiangping, and ordered the cavalry commander to drive into the city and occupy the city.

As for the death of the county commander Gongsun Zhao, Yanbei did not bear any responsibility for it, when his soldiers and horses advanced into the county official temple, the county commander still wanted to resist stubbornly, and gathered nearly 100 county soldiers to defend here, wanting to reverse the situation, until he was defeated and captured, he still scolded loudly...... It wasn't until Yan Bei ordered someone to hang him with a bowstring that he finally couldn't hear those foul words.

Yanbei had no other plans, Liaodong Taishouyang was killed as early as the beginning of Zhang Ju's rebellion, and now there is no governor in Liaodong County, and most of these county orders left behind are also false and wronged when Zhang Ju rebels...... He wants to be the new Liaodong Taishou!

Most of the county orders of the seventeen counties of Liaodong County are from the big clans in the county, and the big clans of Liaodong County are headed by the Gongsun clan, if Yanbei wants to build Liaodong County into a subway board, it is necessary to eradicate the influence of the Gongsun clan, others can not kill, but Gongsun Yu must die.

Although he was a little unbearable for Yan Bei to kill Gongsun Yu, he did not say anything to stop Yan Bei because of this. He has gone so far with Yanbei, he has never seen Yanbei being abused like this, not to mention that he doesn't know much about Liaodong, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

"General, if you plan to gain a foothold in Liaodong with the strength of the people, you must connect with the big names in the county, and you can only appease them but not be hostile." He said so much about the affairs of Liaodong County, and then said: "However, stabilizing Liaodong is still secondary, and we can think about it in the long run, and the top priority for now is that Captain Sun Qing will explore the return of the horses in Liaoxi, once the overall situation in Liaodong changes, we need to block Gongsun Zhan's road in Liaodong and defeat it, and to fight Gongsun Zhan, the best place is ......."

Before he finished speaking, the corners of Yan Bei's mouth had already raised a smile, and he grabbed the horsewhip in his hand and pointed at the junction of Liaodong County and Liaoxi County on the map, and said in unison with Fu Zhu: "Liaoshui!" ”

Liaoshui is the Liao River of later generations, called the Great Liao River or Liaoshui in the Han Dynasty, the so-called Liaodong and Liaoxi two counties are named because they are located in the east and west of Liaoshui, where thousands of fertile fields are naturally irrigated in the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the widest part is more than three miles...... In Yanbei's mind, it is the most suitable place to fight.

However, Fu Zhu had never been to Liaodong, and he had not even seen Liaoshui with his own eyes, so how did he know that it was suitable for battle?

Facing Yan Bei's questioning eyes, he just smiled, he had been with Yan Bei for a long time, he had become accustomed to such a tacit understanding with Yan Bei, and said: "Actually, I don't know if Liaoshui is suitable for fighting, my subordinates only know that we have been waiting all the way, and Liaodong's north and south are too long, and they are not suitable for fighting with Gongsun Zhan's small cavalry...... If you want to limit Gongsun Zhan's cavalry and give full play to the advantages of our large number of troops, then there is only Liaoshui. ”

Yan Bei nodded, Fu Zhu was roughly the same direction as he thought, but he was not as meticulous as Fu Zhu thought, and he only felt that relying on the Liao River could stop Gongsun Zhan's long-term drive.

"Liaoshui is not far from Xiangping, and the nearest place to the west is only three hundred miles away.

Although Yanbei's words were full of confidence, he was not optimistic about the future, seeing that Yanbei ordered Jiang Jin and Wang Dang to lead the troops to take over the counties under the jurisdiction of Liaodong, and to stabilize the people of Xiangping, and waited until the generals came out, only Gao Ran and Yanbei were left, and he asked with some concern: "I dare to ask the general, at this time, there is only one general who dominates Liaodong, and he is still stable, if Zhang Chun is saved, Liaodong is a place, there are both generals and false heavenly sons Zhang Ju, Mitian general Zhang Chun, Wuhuan Lord Qiu Liju, Su Fuyan, how should the general behave?" ”

The old bosses Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are both in Liaodong, is this Liaodong County dominated by your Yanbei, or is it dominated by Zhang Ju to continue to rebel?

Yan Bei frowned, he really hadn't thought about the question he asked. I only thought about saving Zhang Chun's life no matter what, even if Zhang Chun didn't have any kindness to him, at least that knowledge was still there.

But now that he was frustrated, he put this question in front of him, although it was just a casual question, but it made Yan Bei ask himself...... If Zhang Chun's life is saved and there is a conflict with his foothold in Liaodong, can he still be unswerving?

What made him feel even more chilled in his heart was that if this kind of thing happened to him, who had always prided himself on righteousness, if he was defeated one day, these subordinates of his would ...... Will he be more loyal to Zhang Chun than himself?

"In any case, Liaodong will be Yan's Liaodong, no matter whether it is Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Ju, Zhang Chunqiu, or Liju, no one can change this." Yan Bei spit out a breath of turbidity after a while, and slowly shook his head and said, "But Zhang Chun's life, since Yan said that it was safe, then no one wants to take it." As for whether they will compete with Yan for power and profit when they arrive in Liaodong? This matter can be let go, and Gongsun Chan will talk about it after winning the battle! ”

Frustrated nodded, he only hoped that Yan Bei would know about the stakes, and he didn't plan to say anything deeper. Although he still wanted to ask about one more thing, he felt that since he had already asked this today, it would not matter if he asked another question another day, so he turned his hand away and transferred to the official office on the other side of the official office belonging to the county to read Xiangping's reserve items and past matters.

He also wanted to ask, if Yanbei protected Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, how should Liu Yu's credit be calculated? Liu Youzhou has made up his mind about this matter, and only the evil leaders are the leaders. Yan Bei saved the two rebel leaders who were bigger than him at once...... Is that what Liu Yu wants should be his head?

It can't always be, these evil capitals are okay after the rebellion, right?

Frustrated Zhu found that Yanbei seemed to have forgotten that he had killed all sides in Jizhou from a small pawn, and he was already the 'evil leader' hanging in the imperial court.

Although he was gone, this hurdle in Yan Bei's heart had not passed, and when he saw that Gao Ran was about to get up and say goodbye, he hurriedly stopped him, and asked in a long tone: "Ah Xiu, what do you say...... I'm not afraid that Gongsun Chan will want to kill Zhang Gong, and I'm not afraid that Liu Youzhou will force me to ask for their head, but if they still want to be the king of grass in Liaodong, and even ride on my head, what should I do? ”

Gao Lan paused for a moment and bowed to Yanbei, "The general still protects their lives in the face of the Han army's butcher's knife, and he is already benevolent and righteous." If they still want to be in trouble, let them be in trouble, and if they want to be the general's trouble...... That's self-inflicted. ”
