It's a joke. The Peng Tuo case was not popular in Luoyang for a few days, and the emperor was excited to organize his military parade. The whole capital was extremely busy with this, and mobilized
Elites from various states were repairing the parade grounds, and even Zhang Yan and Guo Dadu were asked to send 200 people to Beijing.
The scale and extravagance of this military parade were the largest in the past 80 years, and even the scene when Duan Jiong returned from regaining Liangzhou and presented his prisoners was far inferior.
The military parade location was chosen to be Pingguang. The emperor ordered the new Sikong Liu Hong to build a large altar in front of the temple. On the altar, a twelve-story canopy, ten feet high, was erected for the emperor to review. Another altar was built northeast of the altar.
At the small altar, a nine-story canopy was erected, nine feet high, for the general He Jin to perform the ceremony.
The emperor personally selected the armor and horses for himself, and also prepared two yellow poles with the inscription "Supreme General" on them. Everyone in the palace secretly said that this military parade was not only to show the power of the Han Dynasty, but also because an alchemist had predicted that
, there will be a bloody disaster in the two palaces in the near future, and the emperor is also preparing to suppress it with the murderous intention of the army.
But these have nothing to do with Chen Chong and Liu Bei.
Chen Chong not only settled in Mengtian Tomb, he saw that the land was rich in water and grass and the terrain was gentle, which made it convenient for Guo Daxiang to open up land here and raise livestock and horses. Guo Da happily sent hundreds of people there, and a small village was built here in ten days. Although Chen Chong
Living in seclusion in the mountains, but still being in a human environment, he felt quite comfortable.
He and Guan Yu built a total of three thatched cottages in the village, one for rest, one for elementary school, and one for medicine. There were more than 200 people in the village, which could be an area of one li, so Chen Chong made this place
Named Santangli. Chen Chong actually had a lot on his mind. He wanted to educate people with new knowledge and then change people with people just like he did in the Dongping Army. He always believed that as new ideas were established, the old rule would be lost.
Foundation.
Therefore, Chen Chong entrusted Guo Da and others to gather the literate people in Bai Bo's army here, and also asked for the records of the five counties under Bai Bo's rule to clarify the current situation. The results were disappointing. There were not many literate people under Bai Bo's army, and the records were even more
Not at all.
The current financial situation within the Baibo Army is very simple: all harvests are handed over to the public, and they can be used by themselves when needed. There are no records at all. Not to mention that each commander has no idea how much money is in his treasury.
I can only estimate how many people there are under my command.
If there is money and food in the treasury, it will be used, and if there is no money and food, it will be grabbed. The Baibo Army can persist so far with this unorganized state. It is really difficult for Chen Chong to compare with the level of the former prefect Xing Ji. But no matter what, he can only start from scratch this time.
Come again, all plans have been postponed. Now Chen Chong has only one purpose, to help Bai Bo and others rebuild the system.
Anyone who was literate in the army was first brought to the village. Chen Chong taught them how to register, classify, and learn simple statistics and arithmetic. After being inspected and qualified by Chen Chong, they formed a small team and entered the five counties to count the population and materials one by one.
Chen Chong started from scratch in the village and continued to teach some young people in Baibo's army to read.
And the difficulties Liu Bei has to face have just begun.
Those most affected by the Peng Tuo case were the new county magistrates in Taiyuan counties. Most of them came from afar. They originally thought that it would be a good business to gain a reputation by losing money. But now they still have their lives as officials in Bingzhou.
The danger caused many people to retreat. As we all know, Liu Bei was also the general who defeated the Yellow Turbans, so we had to guard against situations like this.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Chong had asked Zheng Xuan to start making names for him and others, and put them all on the pirate ship. Once he resigned, his previous attitude of being a righteous man would be counterproductive. Not only would he not be able to make a name for himself, he would probably be laughed at by the world.
, and Liu Bei was indeed not a strict official, so they bit the bullet and accepted it.
Nowadays, most of the residents of Taiyuan eat in Xihe, so Liu Bei has free time. He casually tours the counties with a few relatives every now and then, not only discussing the current situation with his subordinates, but also discussing the handling of government affairs. As long as nothing is caused,
In the big chaos, Liu Bei mainly focused on making corrections on small things. There are not many leaders who can listen to their opinions nowadays, let alone chatting and laughing with you? So the chaos caused by Chen Chong's resignation was barely managed by Liu Bei. p>
But the reaction caused by the resignation was not limited to Taiyuan County. After hearing the news of Chen Chong's resignation, Yu Fulo was also very happy. He immediately urged the prince to make up for the tribute immediately. He sent a thousand cavalry, led by the new chief minister.
Household [1] Yi Jinhuo led a thousand cavalry to Shuofang City.
Dacheng was the residence of the Horai tribe and was named Dacheng, but that was a thing of the past. The Dacheng fell into disrepair for a long time and is now nothing more than a ruin. The Horai tribe rebuilt a small village along the ruins and started farming and herding in the small town called Dachengzhai. However, this place is located in the south of the desert, with shallow water and sparse grass, which is not conducive to farming. As a result, the Horai people are few and poor. It is well known to all the Xiongnu tribes that paying tribute is really impossible for them. He Lai Gudu
Hou Wuhai told the truth to the messenger: There really is no money left to pay tribute.
Wu Hai told the truth, and the envoy also reported the truth to Yi Jinhuo. Yi Jinhuo did not hesitate and immediately led his cavalry and rushed straight into the stronghold.
The He Lai tribe had not seen a battle for many years, even the Huliba rebellion. They had not participated because of their small number, so Wu Hai also thought that he would not be targeted by Yu Fuluo. Unexpectedly, Yi Jinhuo was so decisive at the moment, and the tribesmen
Before he could react, the cavalry troops had already rushed into the stronghold, guarded all the passes in the stronghold, and broke into Wuhai's king's tent directly, capturing him in one fell swoop.
After capturing Wu Hai, the tribesmen realized that this was the purpose of the new Chanyu. Wuhai, the Marquis of He Laigudu, had a high prestige among the tribesmen, so many tribesmen tried to surround the cavalry officers and soldiers, and
Protest and insult Shanyu's cavalry.
Unexpectedly, Yi Jinhuo knocked Wu Hai unconscious and dragged him out of the tent. He ordered the soldiers: "The He Lai tribe refused to pay tribute and intended to rebel. Such behavior is just what they deserve. The Shanyu has an order to escort He Lai to the capital.
When the marquis came to Meiji to rectify the law, He Lai's people were also escorted to Meiji to be sold as slaves."

After this order was issued, there was silence in the village, and then there were the sounds of soldiers looting and the cries of women and children. The tribesmen who dared to resist, regardless of gender, were killed on the spot by Shanyu's soldiers, and the village was in chaos for only two hours.
, all the tribesmen were captured.
When the tribesmen who were out grazing drove the sheep and horses back, they were surprised to find that their hometown was in a mess. All kinds of leather goods and earthen jars were overturned on the ground. From time to time, mutilated corpses and dripping red blood could be seen along the road. The big city was originally a
Ruins, now, a new ruin has been added to the old ruins.
Chanyu's cavalry came and went, and it only took five days. And the fate of He Lai's troops was just as Da Danghu said, He Lai Wuhai was beheaded in the city, and his head was hung high at the city gate.
All the members of the He Lai tribe had their hands and necks tied with straw ropes and were openly sold in Meiji's market. Men, women, old and young, orphans and infants were all hastily marked with straw and were marched out of the market like livestock.
The long queue, whether they were slaves or buyers, were all silent and silent.
It was the end of October, and the temperature was gradually dropping. Many people in the Horai tribe had not yet had time to change into winter clothes. After this chaos, their clothes were in tatters. They shivered during the day and stayed in the corner at night to keep warm. The manager did not even want to
A bonfire was lit for them. After a few days, no one had died of starvation, but there were a lot more zombies in the city.
Such an atrocity of genocide was extremely rare even in the centuries-old history of the Xiongnu. All the Xiongnu tribes rushed to the scene and were shocked and frightened. But the new chanyu did not stop, except for the He Lai tribe, he also used the same method one after another.
The reason is that the three tribes were destroyed in the same way, forcing the princes of all tribes to actively respond to the Shanyu. If he had no money, he would sell the people of the tribe, and he must pay all the tribute.
For a time, the human market in Meiji was very prosperous. The wealthy people in Jizhou suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and their manpower was quite lacking. I heard that the price of Xiongnu people was very cheap, and there was an endless stream of caravans. There were not slave traders going to Meiji on the Huguan Road.
It was a convoy that had just returned from buying slaves in Meiji. The slaves in the narrow mountain road were like a black river, flowing from Bingzhou to Jizhou. Such a scene is truly breathtaking.
But Liu Bei was unable to do anything about it. Although he was the general who protected the Huns, in terms of his responsibilities, the general who protected the Huns only had to consider the wars related to the Huns, and did not need to and could not intervene in the internal political situation of the Huns. At this time, he could only follow the original
Chen Chong's plan was in progress and he went to Yanmen to try to make friends with Huchuquan, using Huchuquan as a lever to wait for an opportunity to leverage the foundation of Yu Fuluo's rule.
The reason they originally planned to contact Huchuquan was to discuss how to fight against Xianbei.
But sometimes it's such a coincidence. Liu Bei was thinking about how to contact him, but before his letter was written, Huchuquan's letter for help had already been sent to Jinyang.
The content of the distress letter was very simple, and it was enough for Liu Bei to cheer up and postpone the matter of Meiji.
At the beginning of November, the leader of the eastern Xianbei army led an army to surround Mayi, and none of the three tribes were able to defeat him.
