Chapter 23: The Pearl of Chaoge, Han Yuansi(1/2)
When Liu Qing said that the army would not go south, he meant that he would not go south as the King of Bohai.
As for the incidents such as camp robberies and food robberies that Yuan Shaojun will encounter in the future, they must be the work of the Black Mountain Army.
What does it have to do with me, Liu Qing?
Liu Qing was walking halfway when he suddenly saw someone approaching him in a hurry. Judging from his appearance, he must be the Chaoge County Magistrate.
He led several county officials, looking quite restrained and nervous, as if Liu Qing wanted to do something to him.
It's a pity that this place is not his territory yet. If it really was, he would really be punished.
It took a long time for the army to approach the city before they realized that if Liu Qing really came to capture the city, the city would have been cold by now.
Before he discovered Liu Qingjun, the city had already been captured.
"Your Majesty, Yang Jie, has met the King of Bohai! I'm sorry that I missed you from afar, so I beg your pardon!" Yang Jie bowed and saluted.
There is still someone in Chaoge who has eyes for Mount Tai, although this person is not Yang Jie.
"The county king is exempt from courtesy." Liu Qing said politely, and then said: "Jizhou has been invaded by the Black Mountain Army, and the people of Jizhou hate it deeply. I want to eliminate the harm for the people, so I led the troops here."
"The King of Bohai is so benevolent and righteous that he is really a blessing to the people of Jizhou. The Chaoge Hall post is simple and crude, so I feel wronged and the king will give it up..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We are marching and fighting, no matter how we talk about it!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Jie led Liu Qing to the post house and left on the pretext of preparing a banquet to welcome Liu Qing.
"My lord, this Yang Jie does not seem to be a qualified county magistrate." Guo Jia commented.
"Oh? Fengxiao feels the same way. In my opinion, my official position should be bought. However, I didn't notify you that I was coming, and Yang Jie could still call me the King of Bohai immediately, which shows that this court song must have
A man of insight!" Liu Qing said.
Guo Jia smiled, his lord has smelled talent again. Guo Jia admired his lord's ability.
But Guo Jia didn't know that Liu Qing was the son of destiny and had a cheat.
Several people entered the hall and sat down. Liu Qing squeezed his legs involuntarily. After riding for a long time, his legs were a little stiff, but for now, he still discussed matters first.
Liu Qing first said to Zhang He: "Jun Yi, I plan to set up the camp outside the city. You can find a suitable place and be responsible for setting up the camp. New soldiers always have to work."
Zhang He accepted the order with his hands raised.
Liu Qing looked at Zhang Liao again and said, "Wenyuan, this battle in Hanoi is not a fighting battle. Do you understand?"
"Hijack the grain and fodder to contain Yuan Shao," Zhang Liao replied.
"The cavalry you lead is the main force in this battle. Jun Yi can camp here and train his troops every day. This will tell the world that my king is marching into Hanoi to pacify the Black Mountain Army."
"Lord, what about you?" Dian Wei suddenly asked.
Liu Qing smiled, Dian Wei was clearly asking himself, because if Liu Qing didn't fight, he would basically have no chance.
"Of course I will drink and eat meat in Chaoge City!" Liu Qing said without thinking.
Sure enough, a trace of loneliness flashed in Dian Wei's eyes, and he stopped talking.
But he still didn't give up and asked again: "What about me?"
"You look so much like the Montenegrin Army, it would be a pity not to take it for granted!" Liu Qing joked.
I have to say that Dian Wei is a really honest and honest person, his mood is reflected on his face. When he heard that he could go out to fight, his previous loneliness suddenly disappeared, and his face turned to joy.
All I can say is, militants!
Liu Qing looked at Zhang Xiu again, "Youwei, do you want to go to the battlefield, or stay in the camp to train new recruits?"
Zhang Xiu had a stern look on his face and replied very seriously: "Just follow the king's orders."
Having no idea of his own, whether out of restraint or unfamiliarity, this is a sign that Zhang Xiu has not yet integrated into this circle. Today, he still loves Dong Zhuo, or in other words, his uncle Zhang Ji.
In this case, let's fight side by side and get to know each other better.
"Then you can go with Wenyuan!" Liu Qing said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiu said.
It can be seen from the word "thank you" that although Zhang Xiu did not express his appeal, he still yearned to fight in his heart.
After Yang Jie left the hotel, he returned to the county government and ordered a banquet.
County Lieutenant Han Hao stepped forward and asked, "How are you, Lord County?"
Yang Jie looked solemn, the arrival of King Bohai made him very stressed.
"It is indeed King Bohai who came in person. King Bohai also said that he came here to wipe out the Black Mountain Army."
"Does the county prince believe it?" Han Hao asked.
"Why don't you believe it?"
"The Bohai Kingdom is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, thousands of miles away from Hanoi County. If the people of Jizhou he mentioned are Bohai citizens, then they will not be invaded by the Montenegro Army at all." Han Hao analyzed.
"Perhaps it's the people in Wei and Zhao counties? It's not impossible for them to ask the King of Bohai to seek justice for them," Yang Jie said.
"Your Majesty, please don't underestimate King Bohai. The previous incident involving Yuan Shao in Bohai Kingdom shows that King Bohai has some issues with Yuan Shao. This trip is probably for that Yuan Shao."
"I don't care who he came for! Whether it's the Black Mountain Army or Yuan Shao, if you want to live in Chaoge, then you can live there, but if you want to occupy this county, I won't do it!" Yang Jie said, then opened a scroll of bamboo,
then
Said: "Yuan Si, you see, the harvest in the county this year is extremely poor. The damn Black Mountain Army has plundered all the people's oil and water. If King Bohai really came to wipe out the Black Mountain Army, I would really like to be grateful!"
Han Hao remained silent. He also knew the situation of the county prince.
This official was bought last year, but unfortunately not long after he took office, he encountered the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Ma Yuanyi took action in Hanoi County, which led to continuous wars. After the cavalry general He Miao put down the rebellion, not long after, the Black Mountain Army came again.
It can be said that Yang Jie's road back to his roots is far away.
He was helpless when he met such a superior!
If he hadn't led the county troops to stand firm, the Black Mountain Army might have overthrown Chaoge. Not only that, Han Hao also established a fertile farmland in the south. In order to ensure production, he personally inspected it every day to prevent grains from spreading in other places.
There was no harvest, causing famine in the county.
Seeing that Han Hao didn't speak, Yang Jie seemed to realize that he had gone too far.
What does it mean that Bohai King is grateful for annihilating the Montenegrin Army? Han Hao sticks to Chaoge and has never been invaded by the Montenegrin Army. For Chaoge, he has done no more than Bohai King.
"Yuan Si, what I mean is that Chaoge has been thanks to you for this past year. Today I am hosting a banquet for the King of Bohai. You can also join me!" Yang Jie said smoothly.
"Thank you so much, Lord County, for your kindness. However, it is spring plowing now, so I can inspect the fertile fields." Han Hao said.
"No, no, no, the King of Bohai's army is stationed outside the city. Is it possible that the Black Mountain Army dares to come? You should take the opportunity to rest during these days!"
Han Hao thanked the gift and left the county government. Although the county magistrate said that there was no need for inspection, Han Hao ignored it.
Because he knew that the Yellow Turban would come and go, Yuan Shao would come and leave, the Black Mountain Army would come and leave, and the King of Bohai would come and leave.
If you can slack off just because of who comes, Chaoge will be hungry sooner or later!
Han Hao led a group of county soldiers out of the county and headed south on foot.
When he arrived at the location of the farmland, Han Hao was dumbfounded. There was actually a large army driving stakes beside the farmland.
Obviously, they were going to camp, and judging from the camp ground, they were going to occupy a large area of his fertile land!
Han Hao suddenly became anxious, and immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "This is Chaoge County field, no camping!"
As soon as the sound came out, hundreds of working recruits looked at Han Hao in confusion, looking at him like a fool.
He just paused and then continued his work.
Valley bird
"Are you the army of King Bohai?" Han Hao asked.
One of them stopped working, smiled, and replied kindly: "Not bad."
He could tell that the person coming should be a county soldier from Chaoge. Now that King Bohai lives in the city, the two sides naturally have a harmonious relationship.
Han Hao said: "This field is a reserved field in the county. Can you see that it has been plowed?"
"We are just following orders. Just wait, I'll call General Zhang." After the recruit finished speaking, he went to look for Zhang He.
Han Hao looked at the recruits running away, and suddenly, inexplicably, he was not angry anymore.
Such a civilized teacher should be able to communicate easily! Han Hao thought to himself.
Not long after, Zhang He arrived on horseback. He glanced at Han Hao, dismounted and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "I'm here, Zhang He, to set up the camp."
Han Hao returned the salute and said: "Han Hao, the official of Chaoge County, this place is private land in Chaoge County. It is close to Chaoge, so I can take care of it. I wonder if the general can find another place to camp?"
Zhang He looked around and saw that the land here was flat with mountains on both sides. It could be said to be a natural camp. He had been searching for a long time before he found it. He didn't expect that the uncultivated land below was actually a field?
However, Han Hao seemed not to be lying, because not far away, a large area had indeed been cultivated. When Zhang He led his troops to this area, there were indeed people working and cultivating it.
However, as soon as they saw the soldiers coming, they ran away in fear.
"Looking for another place?" Zhang He was helpless.
After looking around, he chose this place as the best, and the military camp occupies a dangerous location. The lord led an army of over 10,000 people this time, so the camp was naturally the top priority. As a general, Zhang He naturally understood this truth.
"This is an important military matter. I cannot make the decision on my own. You should ask my king for instructions." Zhang He said.
