Chapter 134 Raid on Taiyuan
"Of course I am willing to serve as an official. It is difficult for our Zou family to produce a general. How can we not strongly support him?" Zou Wenchang said with certainty.
"I was thinking that since I have some power, we should help each other. If the clan members are willing to serve as officials, they can follow me to Youzhou. If not, I will leave materials to help everyone." Zou Yu said sincerely.
He said, "It's rare for a person of the same clan to be unable to write two characters of Zou in one stroke, so of course I have to take care of him."
"Changfeng, don't worry. The people in the village are all literate. We can't help with big things. It's okay to be a small official." Zou Wenchang said confidently.
"Then please ask the clan leader, and I will use it according to my talents!"
"It's up to the old man. If anyone disgraces the face of the ancestors of the Zou family, the old man will break his legs!" Zou Wenchang said aggressively. After saying this, the old man left in a hurry.
"Haha, congratulations to both of you!" As soon as he approached the pavilion, he heard Pei Shiqing's laughter.
"What's the happy news? Why don't you let me share it?" Zou Yu asked with a smile.
"The governor came just in time! Fang Lao and Patriarch Lu just got married! My subordinate took advantage and became a matchmaker!" Pei Shiqing explained with a smile.
"Oh! I really want to congratulate you two! Brother Xuanling is not young and should be getting married. I think it should be sooner rather than later. How about after the new year?" Zou Yu suggested with a smile.
"Haha, the governor and the old man thought of getting together." Fang Yanqian replied happily.
"It's all my fault. I actually ignored Brother Xuanling's lifelong event, so I asked people to build a mansion in Youzhou. Mr. Fang, please arrange the wedding. Whatever you need, as long as Liaodong has it, just let people get it!"
Zou Yu patted his forehead and said.
This incident also reminded him that the life-long events of his subordinates still have to be taken seriously. Just like Liu Jin, his wife is dead and Liu Rengui has grown up. Both father and son have to consider it. Zhang Zhongjian is even more mature at his age.
It doesn't look like he has any descendants. Both brothers Han Qianxun's family were confiscated and they have to search again. Su Dingfang also has only one concubine. Zou Yu thought about his generals one by one in his mind.
The problem.
Like Qin Qiong and the Fang brothers, it would be impossible not to find someone for them.
Determined to be a good general who cares about his subordinates, Zou Yu began to think about how to find some girls with some status to propose marriage for his subordinates.
"See you, general! Urgent news from Youzhou!" A knight arrived at great speed, jumped off his horse from a distance and ran over.
Zou Yu quickly opened it and read it at a glance. The writing on it was also very simple. Li Yuan raised his troops, and Daxing sent Huyalang General Song Laosheng to garrison Huoyi. He was defeated! He died in battle!
"What happened?" Seeing Zou Yu's serious face, Fang Yanqian asked with concern.
"Li Yuan rebelled and captured Huoyi!" Zou Yu glanced at Lu Xin and said.
You must know that Huoyi is an important city and is guarded by famous generals. With Li Yuan and tens of thousands of people, it is not easy to take it down.
"This subordinate is guilty, please punish me!" Lu Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed his hands and said sincerely.
"Oh! Why is this, Patriarch Lu?" Zou Yu asked in confusion.
"Going back to the governor, the house of the North Ancestor of the Lu family, the patriarch Lu Chisong and Li Yuan are close friends, so they can't sell face, so they sent some food and grass over there." Lu Xin answered in an evasive manner. The fact is that Lu Chisong cooperated with others and allowed people to open the city.
After that, Huoyi was captured, and Song Laosheng died in the battle.
"Haha, what is the crime of Patriarch Lu? The matter of this big house has nothing to do with your third house." Zou Yu smiled and raised his head to help Lu Xin up.
"What do the governor think? What should we do?" Fang Yanqian asked.
Li Yuan raised an army. Although Zou Yu had expected this, but it actually happened, it still stirred up huge waves in his heart. If he didn't stop it, it would probably be like in history. Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong and then swept all directions.
.
"Li Yuan is not as powerful as me now, so why can't he take that step by himself? Is it possible that after working hard for several years, he is willing to give away such a huge piece of foundation? Think about the recent fate of Dou Jiande in Hebei, and it seems that there is also Du Fuwei in Jiangnan.
Killed by Li Yuan." Zou Yu kept thinking in his heart, engaging in a fierce ideological struggle.
After thinking for a while, Zou Yu finally made up his mind, his eyes lit up, and he looked into the distance intently.
"I ordered Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, to guard Youzhou, General Qin Qiong to guard against Dou Jiande in Hebei Province, the military advisor offered wine to Li Keshi, and General Zhang Zhongjian led the follow-up troops to follow. Fang Zheng Fangzhi and I led the cavalry to attack Taiyuan first, forcing Li Yuan to withdraw his troops!" Zou
Yu made a decision quickly.
"Here!" Pei Shiqing quickly stood up and responded as he looked at Zou Yu, whose aura suddenly changed.
"Brother Fang, please evaluate the children of the Lu family and the Zou family and arrange for them to be sent to various places to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible in the Liaodong way." Zou Yu continued.
"Here!" Fang Yanqian was very serious when it came to business. In terms of military matters, he couldn't tell whether it was correct or not, so he couldn't give any suggestions. Therefore, he had to follow Zou Yu's orders. Heavy cavalry is not suitable for long distances.
Running attack was given to Fang Yanqian, and it could also protect him.
"My subordinates are willing to send three thousand servants to join the governor's army!" Seeing that Zou Yu directly asked Fang Yanqian to arrange his family's children, Lu Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly expressed his loyalty.
"Lao Fang has arranged this matter, and I will take the first step!" Zou Yu wanted to contain Li Yuan, so he had to send out troops quickly while his troops were still small, otherwise it would be too late by the time he entered Guanzhong.
Judging from the fact that Lu Xin can easily provide three thousand servants, we know how powerful the family is. What's more, refugees are everywhere now. As long as there is food, they can easily raise a team.
Now Zou Yu, the more he understands about this era, the broader his vision becomes, especially when he is surrounded by people like Li Keshi and Fang Xuanling who have a long-term vision. Under the dazzling eye, progress is inevitable.
Many people say that Wu Zetian, a woman, knew nothing about politics, but she was just plotting and scheming to suppress ministers to gain a stable position. In fact, this is not the case in Zou Yu's opinion.
Wu Zetian followed Li Zhi for thirty years and helped handle political affairs for more than twenty years. Let alone smart people, even ordinary people are already very familiar with government affairs. Therefore, Wu Zetian is not born with abilities, but has developed them through long-term practice.
From Fan Yang to Taiyuan, Zou Yu chose to pass through Yizhou, passing directly between the spheres of influence of Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou.
After replenishing food and grass from the Lu family, Zou Yu took 5,000 Mohe cavalry and set off directly on the road. Not to mention the combat power of the Mohe people, at least they were very able to endure hardships. In addition, the Liaodong war horses had very good endurance. One day and one night, they could
