Chapter 233 Township Party Gathers


Chapter 233 The Township Party Gathered

The two sides finally agreed that Yuan Shao would be promoted to Grand Sima, granted the title of Marquis of Ye, and given the title of Third Duke. He would be granted a government office, a bow, an arrow, a scepter, an ax and a ax, and hundreds of men. He would be the shepherd of Jizhou and the capital. Qing, Ji, You and Bing four states.

Cao Cao became the general, recorded the affairs of the ministers, and gave an overview of the government affairs. He made the capital of Yan and Sili prefectures.

Liu Bei was promoted to General of Hussars (the Three Dukes General has the authority to open the government, no additional favors are needed), he was ranked higher than the Three Dukes, he was granted the title of Marquis of Qiao, recorded the ministerial affairs, and was given bows, arrows, scepters, and axes and axes. There are eighty Huben people, all in Yu, Xu and Yangzhou.

Depose Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, and order him to go to Beijing and serve as Sikong, one of the three princes.

Yang Fengjin was promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry, and his position was comparable to that of the Three Dukes. He was given leave and festival axes, recorded ministerial affairs, and participated in the affairs of the government.

Zhang Yang ascended the throne as General of the Wei, his position was comparable to that of the Three Dukes, he founded his own government, recorded ministerial affairs, participated in the affairs of the court, and was granted the title of Marquis of Jinyang.

In this way, Yang Feng can stay in Luodu, and Zhang Yang can not only occupy a high position in the court and participate in government affairs, but also avoid death at the hands of Yang Chou in the future. I believe he is worthy of his cooperation this time. .

In the original history, the Taiwei among the three princes would be assigned to Yuan Shao, Sikong would be appointed by Cao Cao, who was in charge of all the affairs of the government, and Situ Zhao Wen would be a long-lived one, and would sit there until he conquered Cao Pi. , it can be regarded as the last effort of his life for Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty.

But at the moment, it seems that except for Zhang Xi who will resign and give way to Guo Gong as he did in history, the other two people should still be able to sit on the throne for a while.

With Yang Biao's personality, he should be able to put up a good fight with Cao Cao.

Without Dong Zhao, a little traitor, and Ding Chong alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to fight alone, and the situation may be more difficult than in the original history.

Many people thought that after Cao Cao obeyed the emperor's orders to disobey his ministers, he immediately successfully subdued the officials and took control of the government.

In fact, that is not the case at all. When he first took control of the government, Cao Cao was even threatened by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He used the sword and halberd of the Imperial Guard to attack Cao Cao. After he came out, he touched his neck and said to his left and right, "My head is still wet In no.

However, Cao Cao was fooled this time. The second time he came, it would be the armored soldiers clearing the way, shouting from left to right.

Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty's show of force was actually quite unsuccessful, and it also broke the rules.

Cao Cao originally went to court honestly and according to the rules, but you insisted on intimidating others. Not only did it not increase your power, but it gave Cao Cao an excuse to break the rules.

Even if you want to expand the monarch's power, that's not how you do it.

The rest of the families can present their own awards, and the court has no reason not to allow them.

After the discussion, both parties were quite satisfied with the division.

Cao Cao originally wanted to depose Gongsun Zan, the former general, but was dissuaded by Liu Feng.

Gongsun Zan is already weak. If he is dismissed by the imperial court as a general with a high title, the people under his command will become more scattered and Yuan Shao's efforts to pacify the north will be accelerated for no reason.

Hearing this, Cao Cao agreed greatly, so he withdrew his preface and praised Liu Feng very much.

But Liu Feng didn’t believe a word of what Cao Cao said.

Because Cao Cao never dismissed Gongsun Zan in history, and he suddenly brought it up now, it was just to harm Liu Bei's reputation.

No matter what, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei have a close relationship. At this time, Liu Bei became the king of Qin, and when he changed hands, the decree to remove Gongsun Zan came from the court. How could Liu Bei still explain to everyone in the world that this was Cao Cao's doing and that it had nothing to do with me? ?

This widow Cao is very bad, full of bad things.

Guo Gong, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng and others contributed a lot to the emperor's return to the east. Although the results looked like they were all successful, in the final analysis they still became the weight of the trading table. code.

Essentially, these people are too weak.

The former Liu Bei was also so weak and insignificant.

Fortunately, now that Liu Feng is here, he has successfully changed all this. Not only did he defend Xuzhou for Liu Bei, but he also vigorously expanded his territory to all directions.

In particular, asking Liu Bei to move to Yuzhou was a well-conceived coup.

Now the entire Xuzhou has been taken over by Liu Bei, and both the soldiers and the people are attracted to him.

Under this situation, Liu Bei no longer needs to continue to be in charge of Xuzhou personally. Moreover, the geographical environment of Xuzhou is indeed a bit remote. It is still far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains. The most important thing is that it is too far away from Luoyang Shenjing. , which is not conducive to timely response to the situation in Beijing and China.

Under this situation, it is very appropriate to arrange for Guan Yu to be in charge of Xuzhou.

As for Zhang Fei and Zhang Sanshu, he may be the governor of Yuzhou, or he may go directly to General Liu Bei's house and still follow Liu Bei. In addition, with the reward of famous nobles, Zhang Fei should not be in danger of being left out.

While Liu Feng was dividing the cake with Cao Cao and fighting for power, a group of tribesmen also came outside the Xuzhou Army camp. There were more than a thousand people in this group of people on foot and on horseback. Everyone held a bow and carried a spear, and it seemed that 56 out of 10 of them had horses.

Although this team came from a long way and was covered in dust, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the Xuzhou Army.

Not long after, a group of soldiers rushed out of the camp, with shields in front and crossbows in back. They formed a formation with the battalion and asked each other about their intentions.

The leader was a burly athlete and a scholar in civilian clothes. After ordering everyone to stay outside the camp, the two men came to the gate of the camp to see Jia Xi and Jia Kui.

Jia Xi was in the army at this time. When he heard this, he came out of the camp in surprise and found that the people who came were actually Jia Bin, the grandson of the Jia Xi clan, and his son-in-law Liu Fu.

Jia Xi stepped forward to ask in surprise and learned that these people actually came to seek refuge with him and Jia Kui.

Hedong has been experiencing severe drought for three consecutive years, and there are also White Wave Bandits and Yellow Turban Army invading the place. Not to mention ordinary people, even the landlords really have no food left.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hedong Liu and Wenxi Pei Ke were not wealthy people with noble surnames. Not to mention compared with Runan Yuan and Hongnong Yang, they were the second-tier Xun, Chen, Zhong, and Han Du It's far from what they can do.

Therefore, after hearing that Jia Xi's ancestors and grandsons were conquered by Liu Shijun of Xuzhou, they now followed the army of King Qin of Guandong back to Hedong to welcome the return of Emperor Feng to the east.

The entire Xiangling County exploded. The Jia family and the Liu family were both considered big families in Xiangling. After discussion, it was decided to let Jia Bin and Liu Fu lead the team, with Qing, who was almost out of food. Zhuang came to join Jia Xi's ancestors and grandsons.

As a result, the news spread, and even relatives and friends from several surrounding counties came to join us. The number of people snowballed and grew, and almost all of them were strong and strong, and many of them even had horses.

"Uncle, there is another severe drought this year. It seems that the summer harvest will be impossible. The tribe can hardly survive. I heard that you are back. After discussion, the elders in the tribe felt that they had no choice but to come. I have surrendered to you, so let me bring them here."

Jia Bin, named Wenyou, is a direct descendant of this Jia family. He has been skilled in bow and horse since he was a child, and has great courage.

Liu Fu on the side saluted and said: "Yuezu, the situation in our clan is similar to that of Brother Wenyou. I beg you, Yuezu, to take care of one or two of us."

Jia Xi is a little confused. It's not that he refuses to help, but there are too many people here.

How can one surrender to thousands of people in one go?

But Jia Xi was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly calmed down, and then after questioning Jia Bin and Liu Fu in detail, he found out the whole thing.

Among the more than 1,000 people, the Jia family actually only accounts for more than 100 people, and the Liu family is about the same. Among the remaining people, more than 200 are from the township party in Xiangling County, although they do not have the same surname. Jia and Liu are also powerful clans that have been married to each other for many years.

For so many years, everyone has been fighting among themselves while supporting us.

Seeing that the Jia family has a way out, it is natural for other clans to follow suit.

The last six to seven hundred people were the Hedong Township Party around Xiangling and the young rangers who joined on the way south.

Firstly, these people were struggling to eat food, and secondly, they admired the power of King Qin's army in Guandong, so they wanted to join the army with Jia, Liu and others.

After figuring out all the situation, Jia Xi did not dare to neglect. He temporarily settled these people outside the camp, but ignored Jia Bin and Liu Fu's request to allocate a batch of grain and grass.

The food and grass in the army are all valuable. Although Jia Xi has the authority, how can he abolish the public affairs for private purposes?

Liu Feng is not very old, but he can't rub the sand out of his eyes.

If this matter is really pursued, Jia Xi’s bright head may not be saved.

However, although Jia Xi did not allocate food to them, he took out all the rewards he and Jia Kui had received, as well as their belongings, and gave them to Jia Bin, asking him to buy food in the surrounding countryside.

When Liu Feng received the news and came out of Anyi City, he was shocked when he saw an extra camp.

The camp established by these more than 1,000 people and more than 300 war horses is not small, comparable to a camp of two to three thousand infantry.

Liu Feng was not in a hurry to return to the camp, but reined in his horse and watched.

Although this camp was built in a rough manner, it was well laid out. Three camp gates were even erected, leaving more than a hundred meters of avenue for the cavalry to organize counterattacks.

Only for this reason, the builder of the camp must be at least a cavalry commander above the passing mark.

Liu Feng couldn't help but be speechless. The world is so big and there are so many heroes.

This unknown pawn turned out to be a qualified cavalry commander.

It is a pity that in the future of Shu and Han, after the heroes of the older generation died, the cavalry commanders will become weaker and weaker, and there will not even be battle-level cavalry in Soochow. As soon as Liu Feng returned to the camp, Jia Xi had already greeted him.

Jia Kui was not in the camp at this time, and was sent by Liu Feng to Jiangyi to collect his horses.

"Young Master, I am an incompetent official..."

After Jia Xi saw Liu Feng, he apologized first.

Liu Feng waved his hand and helped the other party up: "What crime did Jia join the army? The countrymen came to join the army because I, the King of Qin, had the right to help the army. It was not the fault of joining the army."

Jia Xizhi The reason for pleading guilty was because he had selfish motives. In order to make meritorious deeds, he wrote a letter back to Xiangling and asked the tribesmen in the village to prepare for the horse purchase, so as to gain merit.

What Jia Xi didn’t expect was that the villagers did purchase a batch of war horses as he requested and sent them over, but at the same time more than a thousand strong men came over.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Since they want to surrender to the army, let's take them into the army first."

Liu Feng laughed when he heard this: "But we need to make it clear to them first. , We are going back to Xuzhou. If we try to leave after entering the camp, we will be punished as deserters. ”

Jia Xi quickly thanked him.

With Liu Feng's permission, Jia Xi began to count the number of people and livestock in the new camp. He found that there were 1,187 brave people and 613 horses, half of which It was purchased for the Xuzhou Army, and among them there were 106 first-class horses. It can be seen that both the Jia family and the Liu family in Xiangling also put in a lot of effort.

So, with a stroke of his pen, Liu Feng directly allocated ten days of rations and temporarily organized them into a separate battalion, temporarily unified by Jia Bin and Liu Fu, pending subsequent selection.

At the same time, another three thousand stones of grain were allocated and sent to Xiangling to purchase horses and recruit warriors.

Not only did Jia Xi express gratitude for this gesture, but Jia Bin and Liu Fu also shed tears of gratitude.

This extra nearly two thousand stones of food was a life-saving gift worth thousands of gold in this year of famine.

The army was about to return eastward, but because Guo Tu was stationed in Jixian County, Hanoi, the emperor was frightened and did not dare to go eastward.

The emperor's fierceness on the outside and softness on the inside are vividly reflected, and at the same time, it once again proves Yuan Shao's status as the most powerful vassal in the world.

Six days later, news came again from Hanoi.

Sure enough, as Liu Feng inferred, Guo Tu stopped moving after arriving at Jixian, and Yuan Shao did not welcome the emperor's memorial to Anyi.

At this time, everyone relaxed again and finally decided to officially set off in three days and return east to Luoyang.

During this period, Xie County also successfully sent back the news.

Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu who was left behind in Jie County, brought dozens of members of the Guan family in Jie County and more than a hundred members of the township party, a total of more than 200 people, up the Sushui River and defected to Anyi. .

Liu Feng went out to greet him personally and accompanied his second uncle to receive his brother.

Liu Feng's first impression when he saw Guan Ping was like.

Guan Ping looks so much like Guan Yu, he looks like a little Guan Yu.

Unlike his father, Guan Ping is not as rebellious and proud as Guan Yu. Instead, he is a little less confident.

This is also understandable. Before he was born, his father ran away because of murder, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother in his hometown. He didn't even know whether his father was alive or dead.

Fortunately, the Guan family still takes good care of Guan Ping and her son, otherwise Guan Ping would not have grown so big anyway.

This time I heard the news about Guan Yu, and even learned that the other party turned out to be a close confidant of Xuzhou Liu Shijun. Enruo was a brother. The Guan family was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly gathered a group of strong men to support Guan Ping. Come and join the army.

This has been the case over the years. When Cao Cao started his business, he still relied on the original shares of his good brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong. There were very few people like Liu Bei who did not receive help from the clan. Not to mention the current severe drought in Hedong, both ordinary people and powerful clans are looking for a way out.

Guan Ping was brought up under the care of the clan. At this time, he needed to feed back the clan, and the way to feed back was to take the clan's children to join Guan Yu.

For the more than two hundred Guan family clan members and township party members, Guan Yu has sufficient authority to accept them all.

But Guan Yu did not speak, but pretended to obey Liu Feng's decision.

Liu Feng secretly smiled in his heart. It seems that his second uncle is not so arrogant and domineering. At least in front of him, his second uncle is very humble and cautious, and he attaches great importance to the opinions of his nephew.

The main reason why Guan Ping led so many fewer people than Jia Bin and Liu Fu was that it was too convenient to liberate the county. Guan Ping had already arrived in front of Guan Yu before the surrounding villagers had time to get the news.

Otherwise, with Guan Yu’s current status and appeal, Guan Ping would be able to gather at least one or two thousand people to vote.

Liu Feng organized Guan Ping's department into a separate department, and asked Guan Ping to temporarily serve as the commander of the other department and lead the people of this department.

This is the advantage of long-distance relationships. Jia Bin and Liu Fu brought thousands of people and hundreds of horses, but they only had the temporary position of chief of the village. However, Guan Ping only had two or three hundred people, but he was immediately able to pay homage to Sima, and his future was destined to be boundless.

In late January, the Emperor's Holy Emperor finally set off and arrived at Wenxi three days later.

After resting for a day in Wenxi, we left Wenxi the next day and headed to Wangwu Mountain.

On January 25, the large group of troops entered Wangwu Mountain and officially entered Zhiguan Xingzhong.

Li Le and Hu Cai left King Qin's team and stayed in Hedong.

The emperor was grateful to Li Le and Hu Cai for their bloody battles with Hongnong, and was prepared to persuade them to stay.

Li Le and Hu Cai had no choice but to decide to leave, so the emperor could only reward each other with the last thousand or so stones of grain in the ban. Compared with Fu Hou and Fu Hou's entire family who later dared not protect him who was unjustly accused, the emperor Liu Xie at this time still had a little bit of humanity.

At the same time, the Xuzhou Army's purchase of horses in Hedong was gradually coming to an end.

The Xuzhou Army generals such as Zhang Liao, Taishi Ci, Jia Kui and others who went out to buy horses and recruit elite knights also took rich harvests and began to shrink towards the main force of King Qin's army and catch up.

On the second day of February, the emperor left Guanxing, Zhi, and stationed in Zhi County two days later.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Guo Tu, who was living in Jixian County, suddenly made a move.

He did not suddenly come to greet the emperor, but sent a thousand men and horses to escort three thousand stones of grain to greet the emperor.

This Guo Gongze was really good at being a good person. This small gift made the emperor Liu Xie have a good impression of him, and he sighed that Yuan Shao had such a loyal and good person around him.

The emperor rested in Zhi County for two days, and then he couldn't wait to set off.

Although the emperor knew that Yuan Shao would not come, he was still a little worried and scared.

Yuan Shao left too many negative impressions in his mind.

Zhang Yang organized another batch of grain in Hanoi, about more than two thousand dan, and begged to pay tribute to the emperor.

The emperor was very happy and couldn't wait to issue the decree. Before returning to Luoyang from the east, he named Zhang Yang the general of Anguo.

After the emperor set out from Zhi County, he arrived at the Yellow River in only three days.

The Xuzhou Navy had already mobilized the large ships and sailed into the Yellow River to Pingyin Ferry.

When the emperor arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, there were already a large number of cockroaches waiting for everyone.

This time when the emperor crossed the river, there were no fingers in the cabin to hold him up.

After several years, as if it were a lifetime ago, the Emperor Liu Xie finally landed in Luoyang again.

At this point, the emperor's return to the east has been mostly completed.

On February 10th, the Emperor set foot in Pingyin and officially announced his return to Yinzhong, Henan, which was once the center of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The ruins of Henan Yin are quite shocking, especially the imperial palace, which was almost burned to the ground.

Seeing that Donggui was about to be completed, Liu Feng, Cao Cao and others felt happy in their hearts, but at the same time they also increased their vigilance to prevent any trouble.

Therefore, the two teamed up to send hundreds of knights to investigate Luoyang and the situation around Luoyang to prevent the Emperor's vehicle from being frightened.
