The battle at Danhan Mountain was over, and the military officers of each department began to take orders to lead their troops back to the Han territory.
But the Han army did not evacuate all at once, because although Xianbei's vitality was seriously injured, many forces that originally belonged to Tanshihuai were still waiting for opportunities near the grassland.
Therefore, the various Qutuns of the Han army only moved in sequence and did not all withdraw to the Han territory.
However, Zhang Fei and Liu Jian were not in a hurry to evacuate. According to Lu Zhi's arrangement, they mobilized manpower from the new garrison soldiers and accompanying servants who were heading north to form a new settlement.
In addition to Han Dang and some companions like him recommended by him, Liu Jian and Zhang Fei tried their best to choose some young people, either companions or gangsters, and tried to recruit some people who were alone without family burdens.
In the military, it is easier to be won over, and it is more in line with Liu Jian's so-called "team" standard.
Soon after, Lu Zhi's headquarters also left Danhan Mountain. At the same time, he urged Liu Jian and others to return to Han Dynasty as soon as possible. The imperial court's transfer order would be in place soon, and everyone must hurry up and take up their posts to avoid too long delays.
caught the attention of others.
Liu Jian also knew in his heart that what Lu Zhi said was right, but Zhang Fei hadn't completely settled down yet, so he planned to stay for a few more days.
So, he asked Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others to return to Youzhou first, and then take office step by step.
At the same time, he asked Jian Yong to send a message to Su Shuang. Starting from three months later, he asked Su Shuang to pay a sum of money to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Liu Bei in two months.
Since they want to develop their own power, courage, resourcefulness, and wisdom alone are not enough. The most important thing is money.
Zhang Fei wanted to garrison the border county. In addition to military merit, he also needed money to continue to upgrade his military rank. In addition, he also needed money to win over the five hundred new soldiers under his command.
The same goes for Guan Yu. He is responsible for military affairs in the local area. He has to deal with the governor's office headed by Liu Yu and suppress the bandits in various places. And among the bandits, if there are reckless heroes who need to be used for his own purposes, all aspects
Even more so with money.
Liu Bei went to serve in a local area, and Liu Jian was probably a county captain at worst. How could he not use money?
Jian Yong needs to manage things up and down, and if Su Shuang wants to continue to expand his business, he needs Jian Yong to help him use money to do it.
With such an operation, the power of the Five Tigers in Zhuoxian County will be transferred from the central government to the local governments, then to the border counties, and then to the entire horse market in Hebei, forming a network from the central government to the local governments, from the local governments to the armed forces, and from the armed forces to the market.
, a virtuous cycle in which money is fed back from the market to the central government.
Although the snowball Liu Jian rolled is far different from that of the world's giants, the operation of their own team has begun to take shape.
Two days later, Liu Bei and Jian Yong were about to return to Zhuoxian County. Before leaving, Liu Bei gave Liu Jian some good advice.
"Eat two meals a day! Don't miss it."
"good."
"Go home early and don't stay in this shabby place all the time."
"good."
"It's cold in the north, so be careful about the wind and cold."
"I'm going back in a few days, how could it be such a coincidence? We are just like each other."
"Don't be so stubborn, what if something happens?"
"good."
What a good brother.
After Jian Yong and Liu Bei left, Liu Jian helped Zhang Fei recruit some soldiers in the army, and then prepared to set off.
But before leaving, Liu Jian had one last thing to do: introduce Zhang Fei to Dong Zhuo.
Not surprisingly, Dong Zhuo was also transferred the next year, but now he is still the governor of Bingzhou.
During this expedition, Dong Zhuo, as the governor of Bingzhou, also participated in this expedition and was under the command of Lu Zhi's army. Although he did not go to the front line in person this time, he still played a very important role for the Bingzhou army.
Only when Dong Zhuo was stationed here could all the officials of the Liangzhou Clan take their orders.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo made an indelible contribution to the victory of this war from another aspect.
There is no doubt that the result of this military exploit will definitely enable him to take another step forward.
Even without Yuan Wei's help, Dong Zhuo completed this most critical step by relying on his own strength.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo thanked Liu Jian from the bottom of his heart.
Because this person is his ‘Golden Swallow’.
…
When Liu Jian and Zhang Fei arrived at the Bingzhou military camp, they met Dong Zhuo who was entertaining the envoys sent by the Qiangqu Chanyu of the Southern Huns.
Over the years, the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court has been attached to the Han Dynasty and became a subsidiary of the Han Dynasty. The scope of their activities is also in the Bingzhou area. Now that there is such a big war between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei, from the perspective of the Southern Xiongnu Royal Court
He said that he would naturally send an envoy to express his condolences.
When he heard that Liu Jian had arrived in the army, Dong Zhuo, who was having a meeting with the Qiangqu envoy, actually abandoned the Huns envoy and ran all the way to greet Liu Jian outside the tent.
"Deran, hahahaha! Long time no see! How are you?"
The hearty laughter came from far to near, and what came into view was Dong Zhuo's strong and burly body.
Zhang Fei asked Liu Jian in a low voice from behind: "Brother, is this person Dong Zhuo?"
"yes!"
Liu Jian also showed a cheerful smile and strode forward: "Congratulations to Uncle Fang, congratulations to Uncle Fang!"
"Oh? Deran suddenly wished me? Where does the joy come from?"
Dong Zhuo stood in front of Liu Jian, stretched out a pair of big hands, and held Liu Jian's hands tightly: "After months of fighting, you have been under the command of General Zhonglang. Mr. Dong wants to see you, but it's just military affairs."
I couldn't leave him day and night, I just wanted to rekindle the old relationship after I broke my husband. I never thought that after a few months, my nephew would already be famous in this desert and plateau! I still agree with the sentence, heroes come from
Young man!"
Liu Jian was not proud, but said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, it can't be taken seriously."
"Hahaha!"
Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand and patted Liu Jian heavily on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "I am almost fifty years old, and I have not been able to fight for decades. Why don't I encounter more of these accidental good things?"
?”
"Haha, Uncle Fang is a powerful figure in the northwest and a powerful general in the court. He has guarded the borders for the court for many years. How can he be compared to us and other descendants?"
Dong Zhuo glanced at the Iron Tower boy behind Liu Jian and asked, "Who is this?"
"My brother Zhang Fei, who has a different surname, followed me northward to the fortress. He has made many achievements!"
"Oh? I have heard about the name of the warrior. He is one of the people who attacked the Royal Court of Danhan Mountain with Deran, right? What is the reward from the imperial court this time?"
"The imperial court has established a new northern defense camp in various counties. My wise brother is currently the military lord of Yanmen 1600 Shiqu."
"Too low, too low!"
Dong Zhuo sighed: "Such a hero can only get one or six hundred stone troops? Alas, how can a heroic son be buried!"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "My dear brother and I are both white and have no connections in our family. Although we have made some minor achievements, we may be able to get this position. I am very satisfied."
"Alas! How can a man be satisfied at will? Don't worry, although your good brother is young, if he is really a hero and can achieve military exploits, then I will never let others steal my brother while I am in Bingzhou.
of credit!”
Liu Jian brought Zhang Fei here today, and what he wants is Dong Zhuo's words.
"Uncle Fang has said this, and I am very relieved."
"Hahahaha! Deran, why should you be so polite between you and me? My camp is currently preparing to entertain a group of Huns envoys, as well as many Bingzhou heroes. By chance, you are here today! Don't leave! Let's have wine and barbecue. In the village, how about we get drunk and then rest?"
