158 The Throat of the World
Shi Yi lived in the deep palace for a long time. King Ji was abiding by the etiquette of the king and his subjects, and never crossed the line. Many years ago, he moved to the royal city. The concubines often asked each other. Shi Yi asked to say politely. As the age grew, the beauties in the harem became more and more popular. If you look at the front and back again, you will have no place to wait until the harem is full.
The elders in the family often send letters, why bother to say more? Now the Han Dynasty is about to be over. Why do you have to ask more questions if you can continue the country's fortunes and promote the Han Dynasty three times?
As the saying goes, "The moon is the first to approach the water, and flowers and trees are easy to turn into spring when facing the sun." It is also said that "yin and yang are rooted in each other." Women and women always have to "go to the sun and spring when facing the sun". King Ji is open and upright, and he is the yang. At this time, he still does not let Yin embrace Yang, and establishes a connection, and when will he wait?
If the Shishi of Jiaozhou could marry King Ji, he would have been prosperous for another two hundred years.
At the beginning of spring this year, the concubine asked again. Shi Yi was hard to refuse. The concubine liked to tell King Ji, so she had something to do today's court. As mentioned before, Shi Yi was a close minister who knew the feelings at home and abroad of Ji, so how could she easily let the palace go?
When I went to Jiaozhou to propose marriage, I should take a sea boat.
Liu Bei asked his second uncle to come forward, and the chief clerk Sun Gan accompanied him. He brought great gifts and sailed out to sea. He went down to Jiaozhou and did not mention it.
It is because Xingyang has a gulf in the east, a river in the north, a Jingsuo in the south, and a Luoyang in the west. It is a bridge between the north and the south, and an east-west tunnel. It passes through all directions, and all have to pass through this place. Therefore, Cao Cao and others met here.
It is precisely because of the dangerous terrain that the Yellow Turban Remnants wanted to take this place and thought it would take the initiative.
Everyone knew at that time that when the Chu and Han Dynasty fought, Emperor Gao took Ao Cang's grain and strangled Xiang Yu to the east of Xingyang. Finally, he used the Honggu as the boundary and divided the world. He then sang against all sides and unified the world.
In other words, the "Battle of Xingyang" secretly planned is very likely to be the "starting" of the follow-up plan of the Yellow Turban Remnants. This matter is very important, so the "God's Envoy" must take action personally.
The current situation was undercurrent and was about to break out. The prefectures and counties knew nothing. There was only one possibility. Most local officials in Xingyang were involved in it. They deliberately concealed it and did not report it, so the prefectures and counties were unknown.
Fortunately. By chance, Cao Cao and others had already noticed it.
According to what Fu Qian said, before the New Year, many refugees in Xingyang flocked in. The accent of them came out of Jingxiang. Most of them were worshipping Huang Lao. They scattered in the county and begged for food everywhere. Like locusts passing by. County officials were afraid that they would gather and cause trouble, so they drove away the country. Later, a group of people went to Aocang to beg for food. Some of them had ulterior motives, and some were secretly lurking in, connecting with each other, and having bad intentions.
The old servant in Fu Qian's family was entangled into the gang. He went out early and returned late, and his whereabouts were mysterious. Later, he learned about Fu Qian. Although he was unclear, how could he not be vigilant with the wisdom of Fu Qian? So he paid attention to it and gradually gained something. He then learned that the "God's Envoy" Zhang Mancheng had lurked in the country.
Xingyang guards the key junctions, and also contains Ao Cang's grain. In addition, the dispersal of refugees is convenient for the task. It is very scary to think about it carefully. When the snowflakes are blooming, then we will go north lightly, one is to visit old friends, and the other is to move to prevent disasters.
Unexpectedly, while in Duting, he met He Miao and others by chance.
"There are three thousand elite cavalrymen at Hulao Pass. The guard general is Ding Yuan. He is mostly Bingzhou wolf cavalry, who is brave and good at fighting. How dare the remnants of the Yellow Turban Remnants dare to raise trouble here?" He Miao still couldn't believe it. Speaking of which, Ding Yuan, the former Bingzhou governor, was dismissed and was dismissed as the cavalry commander, and stationed troops in Henoi. After the collapse of the first emperor, he was ordered by the general to station Hulao Pass. Beware of the rebellion in Guandong and rush to the capital.
Hulao Pass is the eastern part of Luoyang. This pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and the rivers in the north, with mountains and ridges intertwined, which is a natural danger. It is very popular that "one man should be a pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it". Since the Han Dynasty, it has been repaired many times. In the first year of Jianwu, it was renamed "Chenggao Pass" and in the first year of Zhongping, the former emperor changed the "Arcion Pass". Because it was west of Sishui, people at that time also called Sishui Pass.
Cao Cao also nodded and said, "Hulao is less than fifty miles away from Xingyang County. The wolf smoke can arrive in an instant. If you choose this place to start a business, the wise will not do it."
Sun Jian hit it: "Ao Cang's grain."
"The Ji River also passes eastward through Aocang North, and there is a city on the mountain. Qin sets Aocang in it, so it is called Aocang." Aocang was first built in Qin and abolished in the Song Dynasty. Because it is located at the throat and has huge grain storage, it was particularly important during the Qin and Han dynasties.
"There are armoured warehouses in Luoyang, Ao Cang, and the gates are at the gates, and the throats of the world are all over the world."
"Book of Han·The Chronicles of Emperor Xiao'an": "In September (the seventh year of Yongchu), Lingling, Guiyang, Danyang, Yuzhang, and Kuaiji rented rice and provided for hungry people in Nanyang, Guangling, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Shanyang, Lujiang, and Jiujiang; and the valley of Binshui County was transferred to Ao Cang." "Dongguan Han Ji": "Nine hundred thousand hu of rice in Binshui County, Guangyang, Lujiang, Jiujiang County, and Ao Cang."
It is precisely because it is responsible for the safety of the world and is of great importance. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has set up a special position of "Ao Cang Ling" to take charge of Ao Cang. During the former Han Dynasty, Ao Cang officials were under the Grand Secretary, and now the Han Dynasty has been changed to Henan Yin.
Henan Yin He Miao was the Shangguan of Ao Cangling.
"Who is the current Ao Cangling?" Cao Cao asked.
"Chen Gong, whose courtesy name is Gongtai, was from Dongjun." Unexpectedly, He Miao knew about it.
"This person seems to have heard of it." Cao Cao also felt familiar: "Ao Cangling is not a prominent official, but is far away from the capital. Why did Shuda know Cangling's name?"
He Miao frowned and smiled: "This person often speaks about writing letters and points out the current problems. He also offers suggestions, every word... Zhuji. He never gets tired of it. However, his political achievements are often the first, so he is famous."
"So that's it." Since he was a good official from Dongjun, Cao Cao, who went to Dongjun, secretly paid attention.
Sun Jian said again: "Agoing the New Year, King Ji raised troops in winter to attack and destroy Heishan. Zhang Yan and others divided their troops to flee. One of them may have crossed south. It is unknown if they want to seize Ao Cang."
"The inside and the outside are in harmony, and the sound is east and attacks the west." Cao Cao suddenly realized.
"The valleys around Ao Cang are hungry everywhere. If the black bandits open the warehouse and release grain, there will be refugees who will join the gang." Sun Jian made a quick decision: "Go to Ao Cang quickly, and there will be changes."
"Wentai, wait!" After thinking for a while, Cao Cao then rushed to He Miao and said, "There are three thousand wolf cavalry in Hulao Pass. Shuda and the highway, hurry up and borrow troops. Wentai and I will go to Ao Cang and my entourage first."
"What should I do in the city?" Fu Qian asked hurriedly.
"Sir, don't say anything. Zhang Mancheng fled because he was defeated and did not know how to worry about it. He must be a suspicious soldier and strengthen his momentum. He expected that he would be unable to capture the county town. The black bandits were the big trouble." Cao Cao comforted: "Sir, let's go to Huzhu with Shuda and the road. The difference will be announced soon."
"In this way, Cao Qingche, and Master Sun took care of him." Fu Qian bowed to the ground.
"Take care!" He Miao suddenly felt at ease when he heard that he went to Huzhu to borrow troops. He looked free and his heroic spirit arose.
"Take care!" The five people parted, and the troops were divided into two groups.
Almost at the same time.
A ox cart slowly drove out of the north gate of Xingyang.
The boy in the car had not yet reached the crown, but his every move was quite heroic. He subconsciously looked back and saw that his friend on the city wall still waved his goodbye. Then he asked, "Since he is visiting friends, why are you coming and going in a hurry?"
"A gentleman is indifferent to relatives. Is he reluctant to give up?" someone in the car laughed. He seemed to be quite old when he heard the sound.
"I am a former friend of mine, what does it have to do with me?" the young man said.
"All things have been done, we should return early." The person in the car sighed: "The place where the four battles are coming, chaos is coming, and we should not stay for a long time. The old man and the weak are not leaving at this time, so when will we wait?"
"How can sir know?" The young man was skeptical.
