A scout reported on the road: "There are a group of Black Mountain bandits ahead."
A group of bandits from the Black Mountains were pulling people away. Ye Qing passed by and said loudly: "General, instead of pulling people away for selling, why not take them in for farming? You are facing the Yellow River, and there is no shortage of valleys to open up..."
"Where did this lunatic come from? I don't need you to teach me..." The young leader laughed while holding the handle of his sword and looked at the cavalry with caution.
Hundreds of cavalrymen are already a force that cannot be underestimated. But seeing them galloping away without stopping, not looking like lobbyists at all, I suddenly felt strange: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to help the great Han Dynasty", laughter came from far away.
"Madman" the thief cursed loudly, with half hatred and half indescribable hesitation.
The Han Dynasty has been in the world for five hundred years, and even thieves have subconscious expectations. The young leader's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the laughter getting farther and farther: "By the way... Is this how ambitious you, Chu Yan, are?"
"Do you know me?" Chu Yan narrowed her eyes, led her team to urge the horses to follow, and stared at the big-eared man from a few feet away, her heart moved.
Ye Qing cooperated and slowed down his horse slightly: "The general's reputation is famous outside the mountains. I know what's so strange about it?"
"I'm a little curious. Hebei has been in such a drought this year. What else can you grab? Or flee? Do you dare to attack Yanmen Wuyuan, Taiyuan in the middle of the river, Changshan giant deer, or our Zhuojun Shanggu?"
A group of people were galloping along the official road. Some of the vast crowd of people fleeing the desert, some of whom were a little more energetic and younger, turned their heads to look, or pricked up their ears to listen.
"Who are you"
"Liu Bei of Zhuojun"
It turned out to be Liu Jiazi who once knitted straw sandals. Chu Yan thought about it, but she smiled and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that there are countless people living in Xuande, and they have different appearances. Now that I see the result today, don't you dare to stop?"
What's next?
"Why don't you dare?" Ye Qing said, looking back to signal to Guan and Zhang, Zhou Ling followed, while Jiang Chen stayed to lead the troops, his armor gleaming with a cold light.
Chu Yan looked at Guan and Zhang: "Are these the two famous generals Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide in the North?"
"It's Guan Mou"
"This is Zhang Fei"
Chu Yan understood. When she looked at Zhou Ling, who was disguised as a man, she was startled for a moment. She felt that she had seen this cold and handsome man before. His eyes slid over her slightly ridged chest and she shook her head.
Several men came up and formed a faint formation. He did not dare to confront this trio, which was already a legend among the Northland bandits. He looked at the young general who stayed outside. His aura was as solid as a mountain, and his murderous intentions were hidden. His movements were filled with anticipation.
There is a feeling of being in the art of war, as if he is a general, and his eyes are sharp: "Who is this?"
Jiang Chen turned his horse's head, and the cavalrymen turned around. They all looked at Ye Qing in front of them, and then they slowly said: "A certain person is an unknown soldier, Zhang Liao."
"Hey, do you know Jiuyuan Flying General Lu Bu?"
"I don't know."
Chu Yan shook his head, paying attention secretly, but looked deeply at Liu Bei, and suddenly said: "I, the Black Mountain Bandit, can also farm...but not like you now."
"Then we'll see you later." Ye Qing didn't say much, turned around and galloped away.
"Brother, you still want to recruit us, why don't you kill this guy..." Someone still felt these subtexts keenly and said.
"You're talking nonsense, show me the elite soldiers and generals on my side, can you kill them?" Chu Yanxun scolded, looking at the figure retreating away.
"I'm going to help the world." The man's loud laughter seemed to be coming from afar. Chu Yan suddenly wiped his eyes, looked back and said: "Select literate people from the self-immigrants who know how to farm."
Fortifications... don't just pick girls from rich families for me, can you afford to raise them? Bastard"
"Oh...brother, do we really want to surrender?"
"It's not about surrendering, it's about asking the emperor for a general. My brothers have been with me for so many years and have been fighting and killing. Are you really prepared to hang out like this? Not many people have been working as a bandit for a long time. I am the eldest brother.
I have to let you have a happy ending and find a decent way out..."
At this point, if Chu Yan stops talking, will this day come to pass?
It had been sunny for several days and clouds were floating in the blue sky. Ye Qing led his troops all the way, bypassing Hedong County where Dong Zhuo was located, and headed south towards the Yellow River.
"Dong Hei is not easy to mess with." Everyone said clearly.
Half of the Qiang people in Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army had not long matured from the barbaric state. They only feared strength and were driven to fight without their lives, which was a disaster for the local people stationed there.
"I really don't know what the imperial court is thinking, daring to bring in this kind of army." Ye Qing thought to himself, the army is also divided into a familiar army and a raw army. The so-called familiar army means that the soldiers are familiar with and respect the imperial court, and the raw army is like this.
Tubo, apart from being the leader of its own army, has no other righteousness and is worthless.
Why was Dong Zhuo able to succeed, but before Huangfu Song was persuaded to rebel, he was shocked? Even General He Jin, the highest military officer of the Han Dynasty at that time, had scholar-bureaucrats playing tricks on him and applauding him.
The reason is that the army is afraid of the imperial court.
If it were another army, the scholar-bureaucrats could immediately disintegrate the army and use it for their own purposes with just a few words and decrees. This is why literati have courage towards the army.
But the Qiang people are not Han people at all. They are not afraid of the righteousness of the court and only obey the military leaders. How much money are they worth regardless of your country's righteousness and national integrity?
Therefore, Dong Zhuo's ability to achieve success was determined by the nature of the army. No other general would have had this energy.
"It's better to go to Beijing first." Ye Qing didn't think about it and continued to plan. After the riders entered Hanoi County, they had crossed from Jizhou to Sili. The ground was already bustling with people. This place belongs to the Central Plains. The Yellow River flows from Hanoi County.
It passes through, goes straight down to Henan, Yan, turns north to Qing, and Jizhou - that is, Henan, Shandong, and Hebei in later generations, and finally flows into the sea.
At this time, the destruction of vegetation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River was far less serious than in later generations. There were even many virgin forests. Local residents still used logs to build houses. Although the water conservancy was in disrepair, they could barely maintain it. Finally, the tragic situation of thousands of miles of red land in Youji and Hebei states was gone.
.
The cavalry passed inspections and interrogations at several checkpoints with ease, and the local supervision mechanism always collapsed before troubled times. This was an omen and a reason for boosting.
However, the changes in the socio-economic climate are still very obvious.
The further south you go, the denser the city is, and you gradually feel a bustling atmosphere. There are hundreds of houses of wealthy families, fertile fields are spread all over the fields, hundreds of servants and servants, there are groups of beautiful maids, and the music of silk and bamboo comes from time to time from the gorgeous houses.
The flow of time has nothing to do with the turmoil in the world.
A pure land of happiness for the people.
Then we passed a small town market, with rows of elm and locust trees shading both sides of the road. Occasionally, there was a magnificent house, with soldiers and slaves guarding the door. I don't know which high-ranking family it belonged to.
Ye Qing looked over on his horse and saw many wealthy families setting up porridge shacks along the official road to serve porridge. Although it was just a gesture, it was of some benefit, and it also showed that the Central Plains area had still retained its vitality before Dong Zhuo's rebellion.
If it weren't for some scattered disaster victims who arrived early along the road, as well as local wandering beggars, Sili would be as peaceful and peaceful as a Taoyuan.
Ye Qing said: "Controlling Luoyang and radiating to the Central Plains are the assets of an emperor. Unfortunately, the Han Dynasty has been unlucky for the Qiang people in their conquests for many years. They have lost the strategic depth of thousands of miles in Guanxi, and the world will be turbulent and ambitious."
Lu Shangjing himself, Xu Shu, had also been studying abroad for many years. Knowing this situation, he remained silent for a while, thinking deeply in light of the current situation of the Cai Dynasty in the upper realm.
"Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." He thought this way, observing everything strange and new.
"That's what my lord said." Jian Yong saw the prosperous scene and recalled: "In the past, the Zhou Dynasty also failed in the battles against the Quanrong in consecutive years. After losing the Qishan clan and retreating to Luoyang, it soon exhausted its energy. However, Qin was the emperor.
We were ordered to guard Xiqi, and we advanced vigorously through the ages, destroyed hundreds of countries, expanded the territory thousands of miles away, and developed Guanzhong before we became emperors... This is history repeating itself."
Ye Qing was silent. If it were to happen again, nothing would happen to Liu Bei.
Shaking his head: "If we really want to compare, Dong Zhuo is from Xiliang. He was born as a ranger in the Qiang region. He was good at riding a bow when he was young. He can shoot a bow with both hands on a horse. It is said that his personality is rough but fine. He is not like the Qin people in essence.
The foundation is all based on the control of Qiang by Qiang, and the pattern has fallen into the lower reaches."
"Over the years, it has been reduced to the level of a self-respecting bandit. On the surface, it is brave and violent, but in fact, it has short ambitions. It has no and cannot support such ambitions."
"Comparing him with the ancestors of the Qin people is an insult to the old Qin people."
"It's just words. There is no shortage of such characters in any dynasty, but the situation is different now, and I'm afraid it will cause serious trouble."
Guan Yu turned around to look, but heard nothing more.
"Brother always talks about some strange characters. Last time I talked about a troubled hero, but I don't know which one it is. Maybe there is a chance to see him this time in Luo?"
He was a little confused and kept the name Dong Zhuo in his heart.
Anyone who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can guess that Dong Zhuo's chaos completely destroyed the Central Plains, which directly led to the chaos in the Kanto region, and indirectly caused the Han warlords to fight for years, severely weakening their vitality.
This is the tragic fate of China after the Jin Dynasty.
Ye Qing was in no mood to speak as he thought about it.
"At this time, how many relatives, eunuchs, nobles, local tyrants, poor families, whether they are natives or heavenly beings, can have a safe place? Can my current strength be able to resist this torrent? No, then I can only try to strengthen myself.
Even if Heaven is refining Gu, they must choose strong ones to withstand the early dangers and lead to a protracted battle.
"Everyone is thinking about seeking personal gain, I can't help it, I just want to do better..." With this idea, Luoyang City is already in sight.
"Let's go to town"
This was the late spring and early summer of the sixth year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Liu Hong was critically ill at this time and was about to end his career. The eunuchs and concubine groups all invoked their respective powers, and the emerging clan forces headed by the imperial sergeants and officials were hedging their bets.
, each takes effect on one side, and the collision is triggered.
In just this month, amidst the rapid and chaotic sound of horse hooves from all over the world, countless horse whips were raised, with various emotions including excitement, caution, nervousness...
