Section 36: Anxi County
Jizhou was the ancient nine provinces and was the source of Chinese civilization. During the Jianning period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the politics was dark, the economy was in decline, and years of famine, and the lives of the general public were in a miserable way. Among them, the disaster in Jizhou was the most serious. Zhang Jiao, a native of Julu, Jizhou, used this to preach and give talismans and widely accepted the church.
Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, according to the history, Huangfu Song, the left-ranking general of the court, should have arrived at Cangting in Dongjun in August, defeated and captured Bu Ji alive; in November, Huangfu Song and Julu prefect Guo Dian attacked Xia Quyang, successfully killed Zhang Bao, captured more than 100,000 people, and quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
However, now, due to the arrival of Guan Yan, the historical trajectory has changed: Bu is still living in Dongjun, while Zhang Bao is still resisting stubbornly in Guangzong.
Guan Yan led more than a thousand troops across the Yellow River and marched towards Leling Kingdom, which was across the river from Le'an.
Along the way, Guan Yan would explore the forest when he met the forest, and he would surround him when he met the valley. Be careful and take every step forward.
Chen Deng laughed and said, "The lord is so cautious and has the attitude of a master of military tactics!"
Guan Yan rolled his eyes back: "Be careful is the best, be careful is the best."
Chen Deng knew that Guan Yan was "a snake bitten by a person, but was afraid of the rope for ten years." Fortunately, this time the army was not the priority, so Chen Deng just smiled and did not stop Guan Yan.
After Guan Yan arrived in Leling Kingdom, he did not enter the city, but then advanced to the west where the Yellow Turban turbulence was more serious. Along the way, he encountered several small Yellow Turban forces. After being dispersed, Guan Yan joined the army with fine decorations, and the rest dispersed.
On this day, Guan Yan's army came to a small county town called Anxi County. Everyone traveled day and night for dozens of days, and was exhausted. The most important thing was about food and supplies. Guan Yan's large county town was afraid of encountering a problem, so he found this small town to replenish it.
Guan Yan ordered his army to station five miles outside the city, and he brought a group of personal guards into the city.
Anxi County was called Anxian in the Western Han Dynasty, and Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed his name to Anxi, also known as Anxi. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more officials than Qingzhou Polu School Magistrate, but it was already a big official for this small county town.
After the county magistrate received the news, he led the county magistrate, the county magistrate and a group of yamen runners, and Min Zhuang welcomed the arrival of the Polu School Captain at the gate of the city.
Seeing Guan Yan wearing military uniform getting closer and closer, the county magistrate's smile on his face formed by years of habits instantly lifted up, and he bowed with a bright smile and said, "The county magistrate of Anxi County He leads everyone in Xi County to pay homage to the Polu Captain!"
Guan Yan turned over and got off the horse and held He's arms and smiled, "The county magistrate He doesn't have to be too polite. This lieutenant is responsible for helping Jizhou to suppress the thieves. Today, I'm going to disturb him, hahaha."
"The adults speak loudly, and the adults speak loudly." He, who had been in the officialdom for so many years, turned his eyes and knew Guan Yan's general purpose. Although he said, "The adults speak loudly." His eyes still twitched.
"Hmph! The thieves in Qingzhou don't go to suppress them, what are they going to do when they come to Jizhou?"
A very disharmonious voice sounded among the people behind He. The smile on Guan Yan's face turned into a full of embarrassment. He slowly put his face down and became serious.
He Wenyan looked at the face of the captain, then looked at the angry look of the generals behind Guan Yan, and hurriedly turned around and said viciously: "Who is talking nonsense?!"
There was a noise from behind. A big man ignored the two people around him to stop him, squeezed out of the crowd, raised his hips and glared at Guan Yan, yelled: "It was your third master who said, what are you doing?!"
Third Master? Guan Yan looked at this person carefully, with eight feet tall, swallow chin and tiger beard, and leopard head and eyes. Guan Yan was shocked and asked quickly, "But, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide?"
"It's the Third Master!" Zhang Fei yelled arrogantly without his eyes watching Guan Yan.
"Haha." Guan Yan didn't care about Zhang Fei's attitude and laughed happily: "God helps me, God helps me!"
Just when Guan Yan was glad that he met the general, two more were squeezed out from the crowd. When Guan Yan saw these two, his smile suddenly became stiff.
One person is seven feet five in height, white and clean, with a wide face and big ears, and is very blessed. The other person is nine feet tall, with a heavy date, five long beards, and the phoenix eyes are narrowed and looking at Guan Yan. No need to guess, he appears with Zhang Fei, and he looks like this again. It must be Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
No wonder Zhang Fei called himself the Third Master, that must be because they had already become sworn brothers. Alas, one step late, one step late. The two generals were taken away by the big-eared thief.
Just when Guan Yan secretly regretted it, Liu Bei took a step forward and bowed to Guan Yan gracefully and elegantly: "Liu Bei, the county magistrate of Anxi County, paid a visit to the Polu Captain."
Guan Yan was resentful, but he still held Liu Bei's arm and said, "The county magistrate doesn't have to be too polite."
Liu Bei pointed at Zhang Fei and continued, "This is my sworn brother. I am reckless by nature, but I have no malice. Please do not blame me, the lieutenant."
Guan Yan beat him up and smiled generously, "No wonder, it's just that the captain is asking for clarity. Come on, let's go to the city first and then explain the whole story."
After saying that, Guan Yan led everyone to the city first, and County Magistrate He followed happily.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei muttered a few words and followed the crowd and walked in.
Anxi County is a small county town, so the county government is naturally not much larger. Guan Yan left a hundred personal guards outside the county government, and dozens of people entered the county government. In addition, dozens of sesame officials from Anxi County squeezed the county government into pieces.
It was about two miles from the city gate to the county yamen, and they all squeezed into the narrow county yamen. Everyone had sweat beads on their heads. Soon, the entire county yamen was filled with a smell of human sweat.
Guan Yan looked at the dark figures around him, pinched his nose, pulled a little open his collar, frowned and said to the county magistrate He who was lowering his head and gasping for breath, "Mr. He, are there more people in this county magistrate?"
"Ah~" He was shocked, looked around, and hissed, "What are you doing when you come in? Except for the county magistrate, everyone goes out!"
"Let's go." The crowd pushed each other and muttered and squeezed out of the county government.
After a while, Guan Yan was left in the county government, Liu Bei's three brothers, He County Magistrate and County Magistrate were left.
Guan Yan shirked his responsibilities and sat on the main seat and said, "Sit down, everyone." Everyone started looking for a seat when they heard this. At this time, Guan Yan was choreographing in his heart how to answer Zhang Fei's question just now.
After everyone sat down, Guan Yan cleared his throat: "Everyone, Yide asked me just now, why did you leave the near and go far to cross Qingzhou to fight against the thieves in Jizhou? Can you tell me the reason?"
Guan Yan played an official voice, but he still tactfully, nodded and asked with a puzzled look: "I don't know why, please help Guan Polu."
Guan Yan gave a look of praise, stood up, and said with admiration: "This is my visionary move of Tianqingzhou! Tianqingzhou once told me: The matter of seeking rebellion is not a matter of one state and one county, but a matter of the Han Dynasty. We must not only seek the stability of one state, but should think about it with the whole world."
After saying a word, everyone in the audience showed their expressions of approval. Only Liu Bei and Chen Deng were as clear as a mirror. Liu Bei looked at Guan Yan thoughtfully, and Chen Deng couldn't help but cover his face and smile.
Guan Yan paused for a moment and continued, "Zhang Jiao raised an army to Jizhou, and the rioters were the most prosperous in Jizhou. Tian Qingzhou sent his lieutenant to send troops to Jizhou in order to cut off the thieves, make the ants and thieves in the world become headless snakes, and then calmly break them. What kind of vision does Tian Qingzhou have!" After that, Guan Yan cast a look of admiration in the distance.
"Yes, yes." He nodded and agreed: "Tian Qingzhou is far-sighted and is a role model for us."
Guan Yan said huh: "Now my army is here. Please ask the county magistrate to prepare three-day food and grass so that our army can leave as soon as possible." Guan Yan is not the kind of cruel and ruthless person. He didn't want to kill chickens and get eggs. He just wanted to get enough 2,000 people and horses for three days. Just imagine that although Anxi City is small, it is still no problem to take out a thousand-dollar load of food and grass.
Sure enough, when He heard this, he let out a long sigh, and he was afraid that the captain would speak loudly. He returned happily: "Don't worry, sir, I will prepare all the officials tomorrow."
"Slow!" A thick voice interrupted Guan Yan and He's conversation. Everyone in the county yamen looked at the man in unison.
