Chapter 177: Peace of the world
From the perspective of Guan Yu and others, if Liu Bei went to Xiangyang, he would be like the emperor and Cao Cao. He could be pinched to death by Zhou You at any time. And as Liu Bei's brothers and confidants, it would be difficult for them to get Zhou You.
Trust and reuse will have no future in the future.
"Xuande is so lucky to have three loyal and brave generals under his command." Zhou You then looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and said, "It's a pity that they followed Xuande and they haven't had time to truly become famous all over the world! Such a tiger general, if
If we can't learn from Wei Qing, it would be a pity if Huo Qubing attacked foreigners from afar, sealed the wolf as a coward, and achieved unparalleled achievements!"
When Guan, Zhang, and Zhao heard this, they couldn't help but raised their heads with a slightly hurried breathing and looked at Zhou You with burning eyes. Zhou You also smiled and said: "I will defeat Yuan Shao, conquer Ji, and conquer the Three Provinces of You."
, we are about to face the Wuhuan and other foreign tribes. You three, are you willing to be the generals who lead the troops to defend the enemy outside and show your authority outside the territory?"
"We are willing to listen to the Prime Minister's orders!" Zhou You's words immediately made Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun feel excited. They looked at each other and raised their hands in agreement.
When Zhou You saw this, he also said with joy on his face: "Okay! The world is about to be settled, and the people will live in peace. Internally, we need civil servants to govern the world, and externally, we need generals to continue riding on the frontiers."
"We are willing to follow the Prime Minister and protect the peace of the world together!" All the advisers and generals in the tent stood up and bowed to Zhou You, saying in an excited tone.
"Haha... I have all of you, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" Zhou You smiled loudly, and then stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei, who was still kneeling: "Uncle, please get up!"
How ironic and ridiculous this call of "uncle emperor" was! Immediately after, when everyone looked at Liu Bei with indifferent or even disdainful eyes, Zhou You turned to help Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others one after another: "Three
Generals, please rise! You are all rare generals in the world, great talents! When you look back, I will report it to Your Majesty and reuse the rewards for you. Since you are a general, you should gallop on the battlefield! Otherwise, wouldn't it be just a pearl covered in dust?
, what a pity!”
"Come here, add seats to the three generals and serve them wine and food. They probably haven't had lunch yet!" Zhou You said with a smile, and then he noticed Liu Beiban, and then he said: "By the way, there is also Uncle Liu Huang here.
!”
In the battle of Liyang, Yuan Shao was completely defeated. In the end, he only gathered tens of thousands of defeated soldiers and returned to Yecheng. When they arrived at Yecheng, they sadly discovered that Yecheng had been occupied by the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan, who took advantage of them to go south and travel around for a decisive battle. The rear was empty.
And captured it in one fell swoop.
Yuan Shao's old nest was taken away. Not only his family members were trapped in the city, but also the family members of his advisers and generals fell into the hands of Zhang Yan. Yuan Shao's army was already defeated.
Those who were ordered to capture Ye City would be spared death if they surrendered, while those who continued to follow Yuan Shao would die without a burial place. The army was suddenly disorganized and some of the generals who did not want to be buried with Yuan Shao directly killed Yuan Shao and led the remaining Yuan troops to surrender.
Although Zhang Yan secretly defected to Zhou You a long time ago and caused trouble for Yuan Shao with Zhou You's support, he never had the chance to make any great achievements. This time, he captured Ye City on Zhou You's order and even killed Yuan Shao's remaining soldiers.
Killing Yuan Shao was a great achievement, enough to make him famous all over the world in one battle.
After Yuan Shao died, his two sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi who were accompanying the army were also killed by his generals. The third son Yuan Shang and the youngest son Yuan Mai fell into the hands of Zhang Yan. The 400,000-strong army was either dead or surrendered, and all were lost. Jizhou
How can we talk about resistance in He Bingzhou?
In fact, when Yuan Shao went to Liyang for the decisive battle with Zhou You, Zhou Guanfu had already led the Xiliang soldiers to march straight into Bingzhou, frightening some local officials and generals in Bingzhou who were not optimistic about Yuan Shao to surrender directly to the city.
When the news of Yuan Shao's defeat spread, not only Jizhou but also all the counties in Bingzhou rushed to surrender. There was no need to fight at all. Zhou Guanfu and others almost went directly to take over the city.
In just one or two months, Jizhou and Bingzhou were swept away by the Zhou army, and the northern nobles also rushed to surrender.
When Zhou You led the troops and entered Yecheng, Wenpin, Cai Mao and others from Qingzhou sent troops to capture Qinghe County in the southeast of Jizhou and Bohai County in the east. The navy went directly north to attack Youzhou and killed people along the inland river.
To Ji County...
After staying in Yecheng for two or three days, before Zhou You could lead his troops to continue his march north to conquer Youzhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou had already sent someone to surrender.
Next, there is no need to bother, just send troops north to recover the counties in the northern part of Jizhou and the entire Youzhou area, and just wait for Gongsun Zan to come south to meet him.
And just half a month later, when Gongsun Zan came to Yecheng, news also came from Liaodong. It turned out that Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other young generals from Jiangdong were bold enough to lead a naval force to the north and attack Liaodong. By surprise,
, captured Gongsun Du alive in a battle, and brought peace to Liaodong.
Since then, the entire north has been completely pacified. Although there are still threats from foreign invaders, they are just ringworm and boils and are of no consequence.
After conquering these territories at once, would it be easier to travel around? No, he was even busier. Taking over these places, appointing officials and generals, reorganizing the army, etc., there were so many things to do in the three states! So much so that traveling around would take a long time.
I can't go back to Xiangyang directly.
Fortunately, there were Xu You, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and other civil servants who had chosen to surrender or were persuaded to join. They were familiar with the affairs of Jizhou, and with the cooperation of Gongsun Zan's civil and military officials, Zhou You quickly took over the three states without affecting the autumn harvest.
.
After staying in Yecheng for two or three months and doing a lot of busy work, there was no need to travel back to Xiangyang after autumn, because the entire imperial court had moved from Xiangyang to Yecheng.
Now that the world has been peaceful, the natural next step is to change dynasties and choose a new capital. Since Chang'an in Guanzhong and Luoyang in Guandong are both dilapidated and unsuitable as capitals, Xiangyang is a corner of peace. Looking at the big cities in the north today,
Yecheng seems to be the best choice.
