As the sun sets and the sky fills with sunset, ferries come and go on the banks of the Yellow River, carrying weapons, money, grain and hundreds of thousands of people from the counties around Luoyang, heading north of the Yellow River.
Gao Fei rode a maroon war horse, followed by Guo Jia, Xu You, Ouyang Yinying and others, patrolling everyone who was preparing to cross the river.
Thousands of people lined up in many long queues, and the Mengjin Ferry became extremely congested. Nearly a million people near the abandoned capital of Luoyang were looking forward to migrating. For three consecutive days, hundreds of ferries arrived day and night.
The ferry continued, but only half of the people were transported.
Seeing the crowded crowd, Gao Fei frowned and said to Xu You behind him: "If this continues, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days. I ordered Li Yulin and others to speed up building the ferry. Every time they built it,
If there is no danger, we will immediately put the ferry into the water to transport people."
Xu You clasped his fists and said "Promise" before turning and leaving.
Gao Fei immediately said to Guo Jia: "Tell me to go down and distribute all the food. Make sure that no one goes hungry. The food brought out from Henan City is enough to support millions of people for a month."
"My subordinates have already ordered us to go down. Karis and Wen Rui are leading people to distribute food to the people. My lord, my subordinates are worried about things on the north bank. Although the military advisor and Xun You have led soldiers to greet them on the north bank, there are millions of people
The migration is indeed not a small number, so how to resettle these millions of people is a headache." Guo Jiadao.
"Lord, after the war in Bingzhou and Jizhou, the population has dropped sharply. I think that these millions of people should be moved to Bingzhou and Jizhou respectively to enrich the household registration in the two places." Ouyang Yinying suggested.
"My subordinates second the proposal." Guo Jia echoed.
Gao Fei said: "Well, divide the population of one million into three, 300,000 will go to Bingzhou, 100,000 will stay in Hanoi, 600,000 will move to Wei County and Julu County, and most of the people in those two places will flee.
Many fertile fields are now deserted, and we must rebuild a prosperous Jizhou."
"My lord is wise!" Guo Jiada said.
At this time, Lin Chu came on horseback. When he saw Gao Fei, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the three generals Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou returned with a great victory without losing a single soldier or cavalry. Except for Gan Ning, the Chu army
Wang Wei, Su Fei and other hundreds of cavalry were all wiped out by the Song army. General Huang followed the lord's instructions and let go of Yuan Shu and other ten cavalry. The remaining 6,000 soldiers all surrendered and are now rushing towards Mengjin Ferry.
"
"Very good." Gao Fei was very happy, firstly because he was returning in triumph, and secondly because he had gained another general, Gan Ning.
"My lord let Yuan Shu go on purpose, but for Cao Cao's sake?" Guo Jia asked immediately.
"That's right. Cao Cao did not participate in the two jade seal fights between the princes. He must have seen through my plan and hurried back to reorganize his troops, mobilize his troops, and prepare to attack Yuzhou. Naturally, I will not let Cao Cao capture it.
It's so easy to let Yuan Shu go, just for this reason."
"My lord has thought very carefully, and my subordinates are very impressed. However, now that Liu Biao is dead and Jingzhou has no leader, why does my lord insist on withdrawing to the north of the Yellow River, leaving the great Sili land and the promising Jingzhou area alone?"
Woolen cloth?"
"The land of Luoyang and the capital has experienced several great changes in just a few years. The population has been continuously reduced during the war. There are corpses everywhere, and it has long lost its meaning. Zhang Xiu and Yang Feng of the Liang Army occupied Han
At Gu Pass, Li Dian of the Wei army occupied Hulao Pass, and Xuanyuan Pass was controlled by the Song army. Our army has no danger to defend and has lost the meaning of guarding. It is better to retreat to the north of the Yellow River early and develop with peace of mind.
…”
After a pause, Gao Fei continued: "Although Jingzhou is ownerless now, Liu Biao still has a son, who can definitely inherit Liu Biao's great cause. If our army goes south, it will inevitably cause a desperate resistance from the Chu army. In addition, Yuan Shu,
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, who didn't keep an eye on Jingzhou? What's more, Liu Bei and others were also there
Jingzhou, this person is ambitious and will not stay under others for a long time. If Liu Biao dies now, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. I am afraid that Jingzhou will never be peaceful in the next few years. If my army goes south, they will definitely take advantage of it.
To form a group, it is better to let them fight among themselves first, and wait until we have rested for a few years before heading south."
"My lord's analysis is very reasonable, and my subordinates are impressed by it." Guo Jiada said.
"You kid, you've only been away from me for a few months, why have you become so glib and flattering all day long?" Gao Fei said with a smile.
Guo Jiadao: "There is no way, Lu Bu likes to hear such words, and this is what I have to do."
"Well, let's take a walk in front again. Huang Zhong and the others should be there tomorrow morning."
……………………
Early the next morning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Wen Chou, Gan Ning, Wang Wei, Su Fei and others all arrived at Mengjin Ferry, but they were blocked ten miles away. The road ahead was crowded with people from Luoyang.
People, the roads are blocked with water.
"General Huang, General Zhao, and General Wen, you are finally back. My lord was still talking about you yesterday. Come with me to see my lord." As soon as Guan Hai, who was in charge of greeting, saw everyone coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.
.
At that moment, Guan Hai took everyone to a high hill and entered a simple camp. Guan Hai walked straight into the Chinese army's tent, clasped his fists outside the tent and said: "Your Majesty, General Huang, General Zhao.
, General Wen is back..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Fei rushed out of the tent barefooted, with great joy on his face. He laughed and said: "The three generals have returned triumphantly, and they have really brought glory to our Yan army. After returning to Jicheng,
I will be rewarded heavily..."
Before Gao Fei finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Gan Ning standing behind Zhao Yun, and immediately walked towards Gan Ning. As soon as the conversation changed, he said happily: "Gan Xingba, I finally officially see you today.
…”
Gan Ning was moved when he saw Gao Fei coming out barefoot to greet him. He hurriedly knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "How can a defeated general speak bravely? Gan Ning is lucky enough to meet the Marquis of Yan."
Wang Wei and Su Fei also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I'll wait to see the Marquis of Yan."
Gao Fei hurriedly stepped forward, helped Gan Ning, Wang Wei, and Su Fei up one by one, and said happily: "From now on, you are my generals. From now on, don't be formal, just treat us as brothers."
alright."
Gan Ning, Wang Wei, and Su Fei felt quite friendly when they saw that Gao Fei had no arrogance and that they were also warriors. The three of them said in unison: "From now on, we are willing to obey the orders of Marquis Yan, even if we die."
"
"Okay, okay, you haven't eaten yet, let's all eat together."
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou said in unison: "Congratulations, my lord, for gaining another general."
"Hahaha, you also have a good brother. Come, come, come into the tent. Guan Hai, please go down and get some wine and meat. I want to entertain them well."
"promise!"
……………………
Three days later, millions of people from the counties near Luoyang crossed the Yellow River to the north day and night. With the cooperation of the Yan army soldiers on the south bank and the north bank, all the people were properly resettled, and 300,000 people were in good order.
Under the escort of the army, 600,000 people rushed to Bingzhou, and 600,000 people went to Jizhou, while 100,000 people stayed in Hanoi.
After Gao Fei crossed the Yellow River, he quickly set up beacon towers along the Yellow River and sent garrison troops to garrison on the bank of the Yellow River. He made Huang Zhong the prefect of Hanoi and responsible for the police of the Yellow River in this area, together with Xu Huang, Pang De, and Zang Ba.
The three men guarded different sections of the river, and a tight blockade was formed along the Yellow River guarded by the four men.
A month later, Gao Fei led several people with him back to Jicheng, leaving all his troops along the Yellow River. As soon as he entered Jicheng, he immediately felt relieved. He went south in May and returned in October. After all the hardships, he finally finally
The whole of Hebei was pacified in just five months, which seemed to be as long as a century.
Without time to rest, Gao Fei immediately threw himself into handling government affairs. He formally appointed Tian Feng as the governor of Youzhou, Han Meng as the governor of Bingzhou, and Xun Chen as the governor of Jizhou. He also changed the name of Wei County to Ye County and Zhao County to Handan.
county
, Zhongshan County was merged into Changshan County, Anping County was renamed Xindu County, and prefects and subordinate officials were appointed. Tax exemptions and exemptions were issued for Jizhou and Bingzhou to encourage people to engage in agricultural production and to encourage people to have more children.
In addition, Gao Fei also listed a list of merits, divided according to merit, with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Wen Chou, and Gan Ning as the five tiger generals, with Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Pang De, and Wei Yan as the five tiger generals.
Chu Yan, Lu Heng, Liao Hua, Gao Lin, Wang Wenjun, Wu Lideng, and Tadun were the new Eighteen Horsemen. The original Bian Xi was hidden in Wei State, so it is inconvenient to mention it. Xiahou Lan took the initiative to withdraw from the Eighteen Horsemen.
The rest of the people who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia were awarded first-class viscounts by Gao Fei because of their outstanding performance, and were awarded the title of baron by Duke Bozi. Xun You, Tian Feng, Xu You, Xun Chen and the Five Tigers were all awarded second-class viscounts.
, while the eighteen hussars were granted the title of third-class viscount, and the other generals were either granted the title of baronet, one, two, or three degrees, or were rewarded with gold and silver.
After finishing some meritorious work, Gao Fei dragged his tired body back to his residence. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Diao Chan, Cai Yan, and Gong Shufei sitting in the room. When they saw him coming in, they all saluted.
Gao Fei saw that Diao Chan's belly was much bigger than when he left five months ago. He thought that the delivery date was coming soon, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Diao Chan and asked: "You have such a big belly, why are you still bowing to me?"
?Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."
After Diao Chan sat down, Gao Fei leaned on Diao Chan's belly and listened, with a smile on his face and asked: "When will the baby be born?"
"It's coming soon. It will only take a few days. It's just the right time for Mr. Hou to come back." Diao Chan said happily.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for several months, and I miss you too. Come on, let me kiss you both." Gao Fei grabbed the hands of Cai Yan and Gongshu Fei and said with a smile.
(ps: Sorry, I have been very busy these two days, so I will update it temporarily. We hope for your understanding.)
