At this time, the eldest princess illustrated: "When my father returned to heaven, he appointed two ministers to support orphans. Lu Zigan and **** Xiong, you were all serving my father in the Jiade Hall at that time, you should know which two ministers they were? ”
Lu Zhi and Ding Gong glanced at each other, and they already understood what the eldest princess meant.
Lu Zhi bowed and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness, one is the former Taifu Yuan Kui, and the other is ......."
He turned his head to look at Li Yi, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "One is the general of the expedition to the north at that time, and the current hussar general Li Yi." ”
Before his death, the first emperor let the Taifu Yuan Kui take charge of state affairs, and at the same time gave Li Yi, the general of Zhengbei, two secret decrees. The contents of these two secret decrees are now known to the ministers, and the shocking word "Han" is actually the meaning of Tuogu. It's just that what Li Yi has done so far, in the eyes of the ministers, has no intention of reviving the society. More often, Li Yi first thought of Northern Xinjiang, followed by the Han Dynasty, so the ministers were very dissatisfied with Li Yi, and no one was willing to let him take power.
The eldest princess stood up, saluted the ministers respectfully, and then said word by word: "The father trusts the general, and I also trust, and the Son of Heaven will trust too." Therefore, from today onwards, the general will be in charge of state affairs, and the important task of rejuvenating the Han Dynasty will be entrusted to the general. ”
Then she suddenly knelt on the ground, tears rained down, and said: "For the sake of the Han Dynasty and the common people in the world, I implore all the ministers and generals to work together to resonate with the society. ”
The eldest princess immediately bowed and bowed.
The ministers were shocked and fell to their knees to return the salute. Cui Lie thought of the big man who was in the wind and rain, and couldn't help but feel unbearable grief in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, even if the ministers are broken, they will swear to ensure the revival of Hanzuo." ”
The eldest princess's tears and three bows and nine bows made Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi and other important ministers have to face the reality and give up their opinions. The "Hebei Strategy" strongly advocated by Li Yi and the officials of Northern Xinjiang had the absolute upper hand, and the "Hebei Strategy" immediately became the national policy of the imperial court to revitalize.
Li Yi did not resign from the lord this time. Now the situation is critical, and what he urgently needs most is to take the authority of the lord, so as to quickly eliminate the differences between the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the officials of the northern Xinjiang on the revitalization policy, integrate forces to the greatest extent, ensure the stability of the imperial court and the northern Xinjiang, ensure that the northern Xinjiang army can take Jizhou, and ensure that the revitalization policy can lay a solid foundation.
Li Yi immediately asked the eldest princess to abolish the Quanzhou court. The Taifu Mansion in Quanzhou was immediately dissolved, and the Imperial History Mansion was still subordinate to the Hussar General's Mansion.
The scale of the Eldest Princess's Mansion expanded, and the powers increased, and the ministers of the former Taifu Mansion, such as Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, and Yuan Peng, took up their posts in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
The scale of the Hussar General's Mansion was also expanded, and all the thirteen Caos of the original Taifu Mansion were transferred to the Hussar Army's Mansion. These thirteen Cao were led by Changshi Kou Zhun, that is, Kou Zhun actually acted as the prime minister of the imperial court.
The hussar general is in charge alone, and everything has to go through the hussar general.
Kou Zhun, Tian Feng and others were ordered by Li Yi to write a long list of dedications. Li Yi immediately invited the eldest princess and asked Wang Rou and Fu Gan to immediately go to Chang'an to negotiate peace with Dong Zhuo with this dedication form.
Before leaving, Li Yi said to Wang Rou: "Please go because you and Situ Wang Yun are a family." Now that Wang Situ is deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, it will be much easier if Wang Situ takes care of this matter. Fu Gan is young, you take him to run more, hone and hone. ”
Wang Rou went to the eldest princess's mansion to bid farewell to the eldest princess before leaving. The eldest princess wrote a letter to her family and asked Wang Rou to forward it to the Son of Heaven. Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi and others left Wang Rou behind for a long time to discuss secretly.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Rou set off for Chang'an.
Li Yi immediately discussed with Kou Zhun and others about raising food.
Li Yi said: "Gongsun Chan occupied Bohai County this month, that is to say, the grain of Bohai County was robbed by Gongsun Chan before Yuan Shao had time to transport it. Bohai County is the richest, most farmlanded, and most populous county in Jizhou. Yuan Shao lost Bohai County, and Jizhou's tax revenue will definitely be reduced a lot this year, so even if he has the heart to provide us with grain and grass, it will be difficult to meet the needs of our nearly 100,000 troops. Therefore, this winter, we must buy a large amount of grain from the southern prefectures and counties, and at the same time, we must ensure that the grain can be delivered smoothly to the northern Xinjiang.
Li Yi said with a smile: "Now we have money and we can buy grain, but it is about to snow, and the Yellow River is about to freeze, how can the grain be transported?" I asked you to come to solve this problem, and it has to be solved. ”
"We can erect pontoon bridges over the Yellow River." Zhong Xuan said immediately.
"The Yellow River in the eastern part of the river is so wide that it is impossible to build a bridge." Chen Qun shook his hand and said, "Even if we can use heavy snow to make an ice bridge, it is difficult to ensure that it is strong and easy to use. ”
"There's a way." Zhong said, "We are now arranging for ships to connect from the south bank of the Yellow River to the north bank before the Yellow River is completely frozen. After the Yellow River froze, the bridge was strong. If the distance between the boats is too large, we can put planks between the two boats. The bridge is mainly used to transport grain, and it is completely coping. ”
"Will this work?" Li Yi asked Zhong Xuandao.
Zhong Xuan pondered for a long time and nodded.
"Then order it immediately." Li Yi said, "As long as the military rations can last until May next year, and more than 100,000 soldiers have food to eat, we will win this battle." ”
………………
At the beginning of December, Jizhou, Qinghe country.
The north wind was howling and the rain was continuous. The officers and men of the forward battalion of the Northern Xinjiang Army stepped on the muddy avenue and braved the rain to move quickly.
Xu Huang stood on a slope, looked at the small forest shrouded in rain and mist in the distance, turned around and asked, "What river is ahead?" ”
Jun Sima Deng Jin glanced down at the cowhide map in his hand, wiped a handful of water droplets on it with his hand, shook his head in disappointment, and whispered: "General, there is no mark on it." ”
"How many ways are you from the Iwa?" Xu Huang frowned, rubbed his frozen hands, and then asked.
"There should be fifty miles left." The military Sima Deng Jin replied, "General, wait a minute, I will immediately send someone nearby to ask." ”
"Forget it." Xu Huang waved his hand, "The Yellow Turban Army has been fighting for a long time in the area of Qinghe Country, and the people here have either run out or died, where can they still find people?" Command the steps and speed up the march. ”
Elder Shi Wang saw Xu Huang trotting all the way with dozens of guards from a distance, and couldn't help grinning: "Brothers, Captain Xu is here. Oops...... Hold up your breasts for me, and don't disgrace me. Isn't it just a little rain, what are you doing with your neck bent? ”
"It's cold, Lao Wang......" Elder Wu Song wiped his snot and shouted dissatisfiedly, "On such a cold day, why don't you send cotton clothes?" ”
"You're looking for a draw." Lao Wang stretched out his hand and slapped him on the head, "When I was in Taihang Mountain, the snow fell very heavily. But we survived naked, barefoot. I see that you have had too many good days in the past two years, give me a run, and it won't be cold if you run too much. ”
After speaking, Lao Wang raised his leg and kicked Lao Song, and scolded with a smile: "Run faster......"
Lao Song was caught off guard, almost fell down, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Wang, our brother for many years, how can you be ...... like this"
Then Lao Song was a series of ugly curses, but his feet were much faster.
Xu Huang was panting, and the breath exhaled from his mouth and nose immediately turned into a thin layer of white mist. He asked, "Lao Wang, I remember that you are from the Ganqinghe country, are you familiar with this place?" ”
"The general's memory is so good, he even remembers that I am from Qinghe." Lao Wang said excitedly, "General, before joining the Yellow Turban Army, I was from here. ”
He pointed to the distance and said: "Four years ago, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the flood poured down, and the land of 300 miles suddenly became an ocean. My family, the people in the village, and the people in the surrounding area for dozens of miles are all dead. I survived with a sorghum. ”
"Does the Yellow River here often burst its banks?"
"As long as there is a big flood, we will definitely burst the levee here." Lao Wang said sadly, "I heard the old man say that the embankment will be broken once in ten years. I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have encountered five bursts of the Yellow River. General, you see ......."
Lao Wang pointed to the sloping places everywhere and said: "Within a few hundred miles of our here, there are hills, slopes, depressions, and river ditches, and it is difficult to see the endless great plains like other states and counties in Jizhou. ”
This kind of terrain that is conducive to infantry resistance and cavalry impact has been noticed by Xu Huang. When Li Jing asked his troops to go to the Panhe area to block the westward advance of Gongsun Zhan's army, many generals raised objections to Li Jing's deployment.
The generals believed that Gongsun Chan was strong and the Northern Xinjiang Army was insufficient, so the army should rely on tall cities such as Ganling and Dongwu to block it, rather than fighting with Gongsun Chan on the Great Plains. At that time, Xu Huang himself had the same idea, but now it seems that he was wrong, Li Jing seems to be very familiar with the terrain here, and he has already made up his mind.
"How far is the Iwawa River from here? How wide is the river? What is the direction of the river? Xu Huang looked around, nodded sympathetically, and then asked, "You know what?" ”
"We're going to the Iwa?" Lao Wang asked in surprise.
"yes." Xu Huang patted Lao Wang's shoulder, smiled and said loudly, "We are going to stop Gongsun Zhan's army in Panhe to attack Qinghe Kingdom and Wei County. ”
Lao Wang whispered: "General, the Pan River is not a river. ”
"What did you say?" Xu Huang was shocked, "Panhe is not a river?" What is that? ”
"Yes, General, the Pan River is not a river, it is a panway." "When the Yellow River bursts, the flood water flows through here, from the southwest to the northeast, and finally into the Qing River. This place is generally inhabited. Four years ago, we were hit by a flood that washed away the Zhuangzi near Fandao. ”
"General, the place where we are standing now is Panhe." Lao Wang stomped the muddy ground under his feet. (To be continued.) )
