Chen Chong stayed in Jinyang for about four days. Except for spending a whole day with his wife, Chen Chong spent the rest of the time between documents. He first reviewed the account books of last autumn's harvest, then estimated this year's harvest, and compared Now the armor storage in the arsenal is so busy that everyone can't even touch the ground. /p
This is not something Chen Chong is willing to do, but for him, the failure to challenge Dong is like a shackles that threaten his life. He understands too well that Bingzhou and Guanzhong have become a confrontation between Qin and Zhao, and both sides must always be prepared to fight again until one side until total destruction. /p
After checking for leaks and filling in the vacancies, Chen Chong summarized the problems found into a book and handed them to the officials in charge. Those who performed well were rewarded, and those who made too many mistakes were dismissed. Those who were likely to be corrupt were marked red by him. , sent to Jian Yong to help him investigate. After the order was issued, all the officials in the government were surprised and sighed privately: The catalogs of the past six months were completed in four days. We have seen what Mencius called clear observation. /p
But Chen Chong had no time to listen to others' praise. After finishing his work in Jinyang, he had to work outside Jinyang. /p
On the morning of May 23rd, Chen Chong led more than ten attendants, starting from Jinyang, going south to Zishi, and then westward to Lishi City. He always attached great importance to efficiency. Normally, he could only travel two hundred miles in two days. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a little timid and started walking slowly for the first time. He walked for five consecutive days before arriving. /p
After entering the city, Chen Chong first went to visit Yang Hui, the governor of Xihe. Yang Hui had been with him for four years. When Fu Xie asked him to leave his post, he was the one who sent Fu Qian to Chen Chong's house. Chen Chong trusted him very much. When they met, they did not talk about official matters, but only talked about their recent dealings and experiences. At the end, Yang Hui talked to Chen Chong about Bai Bo's direction. /p
"After Guo Shuai died in battle, everyone in the counties in Hexi wore mourning. Privately, people's hearts were shaken. Ming Gong should give more comfort."/p
Chen Chong was silent for a long time and sighed: "That's why I came here. I owe them a lot, but the situation is so tense. I can only do my best. After this autumn harvest, there is no chance of war. It's difficult!" At this point, He remembered that his student Xu Shu was recuperating in Lishi, and planned to visit him before going to Yuanyang. /p
Unexpectedly, Yang Hui said that Xu Shu had been resting at Taiping Taoist Temple in the south of the city since he returned to Lishi./p
After Chen Chong left the temple, Liu Yan, a literary rafter, greatly renovated the Taoist temple. The statues of Zhonghuang Taiyi were all removed, and the empty main hall was used as a lecture hall. The other courtyard was transformed into an academy with thousands of books. The doors and walls were all painted with vermilion paint, and cypress trees were planted in the courtyard. When Chen Chong came, , these cypress seedlings are still slender, but the branches are lush with cypress leaves, which can be regarded as a different scenery. /p
When Chen Chong returned to this place of right and wrong, he couldn't help but think of Peng Tuo, but then he remembered that this happened nearly three years ago. He asked the officials in the courtyard and learned that Xu Shu was recuperating in a wing room in another courtyard. He immediately walked over and was still more than ten feet away from Xu Shu's room, and heard him reading in the room. "Bai Lin Qi Mu Pair" written by Jun. The recitation was impassioned and full of hatred. /p
Chen Chong opened the door and called him. Xu Shu was startled. He wanted to get down and salute the teacher, but he almost fell down when he moved. Chen Chong helped him up quickly. It turned out that when he was fleeing, he was stabbed in the back. The cuts were deep. Even if he was recovering, In the past six months, blood scabs have fallen off twice, and pink polyps have grown out of Beishang's wounds. However, Xu Shu still feels uncomfortable when walking, and from time to time there is a sudden electric sting in her waist. /p…
"I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a fast horse this year." Xu Shu laughed at himself. /p
Chen Chong comforted him and said: "Yuan Zhi, in his weak years, had the ambition to serve as an army. He is already a hero of the world. How can he not serve his country if he is like this?"/p
Then the master and apprentice talked about the gains and losses of the battle on the North Road. Xu Shu experienced the whole process. He reflected on himself and said that when he heard that the Liang people sent troops to the Yin and Jin Dynasties, the biggest mistake of the North Road was to go their own way. At that time, Huayin and Puban were less than a hundred miles apart, and it only took a day to send messages back and forth. No matter who Huangfu Song attacked first, the other city could calmly assist him, and the combined army of the two armies amounted to 30,000 people, and they were not affected by the epidemic. Compared with Liangren, he is still small and has an advantage. /p
But the result was that Pu Ban and Huayin had no contact with each other, so Gongsun Zan took it upon himself to pursue him and fled when defeated. However, it was unnecessary for Tian Chou to abruptly abandon Pu Ban. This resulted in Huayin becoming an isolated city that could only defend but was unable to stop Huangfu Song from marching eastward. As a result, when Huangfu Song passed around the city, the Baibo army was tempted by him and was soon ambushed and defeated. /p
After hearing what he said, Chen Chong shook his head in denial and sighed: "You think too much." Then he explained that the reason why the North Route Army was divided into three groups was that the army was complex and difficult to control. In one place, the generals have complicated thoughts and are prone to bad things, so he ordered the Northern Route Army to each occupy three dangerous areas. Even if one route is defeated and the other two groups stick to the dangerous areas, they can still make a difference. /p
"The so-called dangerous area is not only a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also a place of life and death. It should not be taken in vain. Even if Huangfu Song could bypass Huayin for a while because of the freezing of the river, he would not be able to rush through Maojin. When the river thaws, he will What can we do? We can only withdraw from Hongnong and attack Huayin instead. This is true for the three places I selected. As long as the soldiers are determined to hold on, the enemy will be helpless. You really shouldn't change your strategy before the battle." /p
Xu Shu was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was speechless. He often prided himself on being smart, but sometimes he got into trouble. He never thought that the simplest strategies were often the most effective, which made him feel frustrated. Chen Chong was not comforted when he saw this. He believed that Xu Shu could overcome his growth and asked instead: "I want to go to Yuanyang to pay homage to Guo Shuai. Will you come with me?"/p
/p
"Hero Guo Shuai, how can you not go?" After hearing this, Xu Shu cheered up and packed his luggage. He said rather shyly: "It's just that students feel embarrassed to meet each other, so they can only wait for the teacher to come before they dare to go with him. Stop."/p
Chen Chong smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't I do the same?"/p
Xu Shu couldn't ride a horse now, so Chen Chong found an ox cart and let him ride slowly towards Huangyang. After leaving Lishi, passing through Lin County, and then going north to Quyu, Chen Chong was already familiar with these roads. He asked the Quyu guards about their movements and found that Han Xian was still in Yuanyang, so Chen Chong took a boat to cross the river and walked ashore. More than twenty miles of mountain road leads directly to the foot of Yuanyang City. /p
At this time, the sky was gloomy, and there were about ten white flags standing on the city head of Yuanyang. Every house in the villages outside the city was also hung with white flags, and passers-by looked sad. When the city guard saw Chen Chong's ultimatum, he was happy and sad at the same time and said to him: "Did Longshou finally come to see Guo Shuai? After Yang Shuai and the others came back with the remnant soldiers, they kept quarreling, which really made our men sad. They are all waiting for the dragon leader to take charge of the overall situation!"/p
After saying that, the city guards went to notify Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Hu Cai. When the three knew that Chen Chong was coming, they all immediately went out to greet them. Chen Chong looked at Han Xian and Yang Feng carefully and saw that they had a few more hands on their faces. I have scars, and I feel very sad. Then they went to the south of the city together. Guo Da's tomb was erected at the foot of Huanghao Mountain, two miles to the south. Because Huangfu Song's body was used as a memorial in the capital, there was only his tomb here, juxtaposed with Li Le's tomb. /p…
The two tombs have the same style, but the tombstones are different. Guo Da's tombstone reads "Taiping Daoqu Marshal Guo Da's Tomb", while Li Le's tombstone reads "Li Le's Tomb, Bai Boling, Former Han Dynasty". When asked why, it turns out that Guo Da was not married. His wife gave birth to a son, and the tombstone was erected by Wang Mao, the commander-in-chief of Lao Qu, while Li Le's tombstone was arranged by his children. /p
Hu Cai asked Chen Chong if he wanted to erect a tombstone for Guo Daxin, but Chen Chong refused. He said: "Guo Shuai has a spirit in heaven, and he must think it should be so." After that, Chen Chong offered sacrifices to Guo Da and Li Le, except In addition to the ordinary meat, he also buried a knives in front of their graves, which were the swords of Hu Zhen and Dong Yue respectively. When the rest of Sun Jian's troops withdrew eastward, both of them were detained by Chen Chong and stayed in Henan to handle miscellaneous tasks for Guan Yu. Chen Chong hoped that with these two swords, he could temporarily comfort the spirits of Bai Bo's soldiers. /p
After dinner in the evening, everyone got down to the topic, about the follow-up treatment of Bai Bojun in the future. As an independent force, the Baibo Army has jurisdiction over five counties and has more than 100,000 soldiers, half of whom are strong men who have been fighting for a long time. They have a decisive influence on Bingzhou. The Baibo Army is named the Five Commanders, but in fact Guo Da is the leader, and the other four commanders are the branches. Now that Guo Da and Li Le are killed in battle, the political situation of the Baibo Army must face reorganization. /p
In the past few years, Yang Feng and Han Xian first followed Chen Chong to the north to conquer the Xiongnu Xianbei, and then followed Liu Bei to the south to beg Dong. During meals, they expressed with words and eyes that they hoped Chen Chong would support him in taking charge of the Baibo Army. Hu Cai was neither cold nor hot, and only exchanged a few words. He said no more, obviously not intending to bring trouble on himself. /p
But when Chen Chong came on the road, he had already made plans. He was neither prepared to support Han Xian nor Yang Feng, but said frankly: /p
"Our army failed to attack Dong this time, which actually gave Dong Zhuo a little breather. After he takes a break, he will definitely fight with me again to decide the battle. The main point of the battle between the two armies is nothing more than the line between Hedong and Shangjun."/p
These words suddenly made Han Xian and Yang Feng feel uncomfortable. They heard Chen Chong continue to say: "The east of the river is dangerous and can be defended, but Shangjun is mostly from the Xiongnu tribe, and it is easy for Dong Zhuo to take advantage of it. If you want to defend Shangjun, Therefore, the focus of governance lies on Xihe, not to mention that Xihe is located between the two counties, which is the key point of the war situation. Therefore, after the autumn harvest, I plan to move the prefecture and station it in Yuanyang, so as to appease the Xiongnu tribes and supervise the frontline war. What do you think?"/p
The implication is that he intends to cancel the independent status of the White Wave Army. Yang Feng and Han Xian changed their expressions on the spot, but Hu Cai's expression remained unchanged and asked slowly: "The dragon head has moved to the city, but I don't know how to arrange for me to wait?"/p
Chen Chong answered truthfully: "I would like to nominate three generals who will still lead the old army and have the same rank as Qianhuhou. If you are not willing to participate in the discussion of directors, I can order you to guard Pingcheng. There will be another war."/p
When the three of them heard the words, they were all silent for a long time. Han Xian first said: "This matter is of great importance. Please give me some time, probably at the end of July, which is the beginning of the autumn harvest. We will definitely give you some time." Reply." Yang Feng and Hu Cai also heard and agreed. /p
Chen Chong also knew that this matter was of great importance. They were in a hurry and it was difficult to decide. He did not force them. He just warned them first: "The commanders are in the most important positions and must not relax their military affairs. Even if I am not here, they must train more troops." , beware of cold soldiers."/p
Finally, he comforted: "I will stay in Xihe and Hedong during these two months. If the commanders have any ideas, they can send envoys to Lishi. Governor Yang will contact me. Good things will come in a long way! As long as Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will wait for you. When the Central Plains is cleared again, your martial names will be praised and encouraged by future generations!"/p.
