Chapter 316 Soldiers Rising (Part 2) 2/2(1/2)

But now, the situation is different.

With Liu Chuang standing in the north of the frontier, he was surrounded by Youzhou, and he was in a state of strife and competing for the Central Plains.

When Kong Rong first defected to Liu Chuang, he responded to Zheng Xuan's call and compiled the Siku Complete Book. But as he was with Liu Chuang for a long time, especially after Liu Chuang gained his foothold in western Liaoning, Kong Rong realized that Liu Chuang often had a magical stroke and predicted things like a god. Although Liu Chuang made a choice in the two battles of the courtyard grass, no matter what, he won the bet! This further shows that Liu Chuang was lucky.

People often say that it is difficult to provide timely help, but it is easy to add icing on the cake.

Liu Chuang has proved with facts that he has the ability to revive the Han Dynasty with Zhuolu Central Plains, so Kong Rong's thoughts will be lively.

But Kong Rong's old wife died, leaving only one daughter, who also died of illness.

Later, with Guan Ning's help, he married a daughter from a local famous family. After giving birth to a son in the fourth year of Jian'an, he gave birth to a daughter in the middle of this year. The eldest son is now two years old and the youngest daughter is still in her infancy. He cannot recommend his children to Liu Chuang. However, Kong Rong regards Yang Chuang as a son, so he recommends Yang Chuang to come, which can be regarded as planning for future plans and laying the foundation for his children.

From this aspect, it also shows that Liu Chuang is recognized by more and more people.

Previously, Liu Chuang recruited a large number of talents, but most of them were poor people, or they defected because of their destruction of their family. However, more of them were the talents obtained by Liu Chuang by blood. However, there were not many such phenomena as Kong Rong who took the initiative to recommend relatives.

Not to mention anything else, Nanshan Academy is not a famous family, but most of them are still waiting and watching.

There were so many students in the academy. But there were only a handful of people who really came out to help Liu Chuang... Zheng Xuan's disciples Cui Zhouping, Wang Jing, Xu Miao; Hu Zhao's disciple Zhou Qi... Among them, Cui Zhouping was more of an internship, and he could not really serve Liu Chuang.

"Wenju's recommendation of Zilu this time has opened up the situation for Meng Yan."

This is an admission.

Zheng Xuan smiled and explained to Liu Chuang, and also showed a hint of joy.

"Sir, Yanjing has just seen the scale. I want to ask my elder brother to be the Yanjing Order. I wonder if it is possible?"

In recent years, Zheng Xuan's son Zheng Ren has been staying in Guzhu City.

Liu Chuang already has a deep understanding of Zheng Ren's talent... This is a person who can do things down-to-earth and is extremely upright.

Therefore, Liu Chuang had the intention to promote Zheng Ren.

First of all, Zheng Ren was indeed talented. Under his rule, Guzhu City included academies and workshops. It can be said to be a city integrating education and industry. Zheng Ren buried his head in Guzhu City for three years and developed this small town with only a few thousand people into a county with a population of nearly 30,000. Under his rule, Guzhu City can be said to be a very prosperous place without picking up the road and not closing its doors at night. It is said that Zheng Ren is preparing to expand the scale of Guzhu City, and build a market thirty miles northeast of Guzhu City to strengthen commercial exchanges.

All of this shows Zheng Ren's talent.

Of course, this second point is also to thank Zheng Xuan for his support over the years.

If Zheng Xuan had not stood up, Liu Chuang would never have achieved such a success... When Liu Chuang decided to abandon Beihai and Donglai counties, Zheng Xuan stood up without hesitation and helped him lobby for Kong Rong and Hu Zhao and others, and followed Liu Chuang to the bitter and cold western Liaoning.

Although Liu Chuang did not have any negligence, without Zheng Xuan's support, he would not have developed to the point where he is today.

In his heart, Liu Chuang has always been very grateful to Zheng Xuan, but there is no chance of reward.

Zheng Xuan is strong inside and has no desire to be strong.

Before, Liu Chuang had not yet established a firm foothold and was unwilling to let Zheng Ren get too deep into it.

Now, he has laid a foundation and wants to repay Zheng Xuan. The best way is to promote Zheng Ren. I believe Zheng Xuan will not refuse.

The great scholars of this era are not as pretentious as those of later generations.

Of course Zheng Xuan knew the importance of Yanjing. For a long time, Yanjing would not have become the political and economic center of the entire north. If Zheng Ren was the Yanjing Order, it would have taken a solid step, from being originally wandering at the edge of the core level to becoming Liu Chuang's confidant. Zheng Xuan of course knew Liu Chuang's idea. But he would not interfere, because he believed that Liu Chuang had already made arrangements in his heart.

"If Yien was the Yanjing Order, it would be suitable."

Zheng Xuan will not push back and forth. He knows his son's skills. He is a good person to be a virtuous person and not avoid relatives. Why should I hide it?

"My elder, why not go to Yanjing together.

This way I can reunite with my elder brother, and I also want to open another academy in Yanjing, so the old man is in charge."

Zheng Xuan was obsessed with education, so Liu Chuang certainly knew it.

But he didn't expect Zheng Xuan to shake his head and refuse, "Yanjing Academy is open, and its momentum is definitely stronger than Guzhu City.

To be honest, Guzhu City is more suitable for pure research and teaching and educating people... I am old and really don't want to work hard anymore. If Meng Yan wants to open a college in Yanjing, I will not participate. But I can recommend two people to you, You'an and Genju are the right candidates."

Guan Ning, Jue Yuan?

Liu Chuang thought about it and agreed.

These two people are famous all over the world. In recent years, they have been named Deputy Zheng Xuan, but in fact everything about Nanshan Academy is handled by them.

The layout of Nanshan Academy is smaller after all.

If Guan Ning and Bing were willing to accept Yanjing Academy, it would be the most suitable one.

Liu Chuang didn't force it now, and Zheng Xuan didn't talk about it anymore.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, the town of Zhuojun County is very lively.

Zheng Xuan suddenly said, "Meng Yan, will we still have to start a military campaign next year?"

Liu Chuang was stunned and shook his head gently and said, "Now the whole country in Youzhou is exhausted and exhausted.

If you start another war, it may cause the already unsolid foundation of Youzhou to be damaged... Therefore, after the beginning of spring, I want to encourage farming, sericulture and other matters, at least before the beginning of autumn, there will be no more wars. It is also considered to be the elders of Youzhou, and I would like to ask for a breather."

Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes and said softly: "So, do you want to join forces with Yuan Shang?"

Liu Chuang was shocked and looked at Zheng Xuan in surprise.

The decision to join Yuan to resist Cao was just decided, except for a few people inside Liu Chuang, which did not spread to others.

However, Liu Chuang immediately figured out the key: what kind of person is Zheng Xuan? He is a person who is old and has become a spirit... Such a thing. As long as there is a clue, he can guess the clues.

Sure enough, Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, I just guessed this.

If you hadn't said you wanted to use troops in the autumn, I might not have seen the clue. It would be fine if you had conquered for two years... Youzhou was really overwhelmed. I heard that it was a good thing that you were going to absorb 500,000 refugees. Youzhou had a smaller population and it was difficult to compete with Cao Cao.

However, if Cao Cao raises troops again, the Qinghe River in Wei County will be affected by war.

These two places are also the most prosperous places in Jizhou. At that time, you might as well try to recruit more refugees in the two places, which will be of great merit."

According to Sima Yi's Huangge investigation, the total population of Wei County and Qinghe is 1.5 million, accounting for one-quarter of the population of Jizhou.

Liu Chuang nodded slightly, "My elders told me to remember it!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In December of the sixth year of Jian'an, heavy snow broke the land of Hebei white.

Over Ye City, clouds of sorrow are shrouded in sorrow.

Cao Cao began to recruit troops in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and was eyeing Hebei...

At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Yan Liang, the general who had just been sent to the tent, to be the vanguard, and Xu You were stationed in Yanjin as a military advisor, preparing to cross the river and fight after the New Year.

Yan Liang actually surrendered to Cao Cao?

After the news reached Li Yang, Yuan Tan was immediately panicked.

Who is Yan Liang? One of the four pillars of Hebei Province, Yuan Shao was a general under the tent and was extremely brave.

Xu You was Yuan Shao's planner back then, with extraordinary wisdom and strategy. The two of them collaborated to fight back, causing the Yuan army in Liyang to lose their positions before the battle.

Xu You and Yuan are already incompatible with each other.

He ran to Cao's camp at night and defeated Yuan Shao Guandu.

Originally, Yuan Shao didn't want to go over to trouble Xu You's family, but he couldn't help but his group of people trying to figure out his feelings and actually killed Xu You's whole family.

By the time Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng, it was already too late.

Xu You's family was killed with more than 30 people... Among them, Xu You's newly born grandson was not spared. After Xu You learned the news, he hated Yuan Shao to the core. Thinking about the past, I was born and died for you, and even ran around for you. You, Yuan Benchu, had the foundation now. But after becoming a general, you gradually became alienated from me and never accepted my strategy...

I had no choice but to leave you.

But how could you be so cruel and ruthless that you wouldn't even let my grandson go?

If it weren't for this, Xu You might not have come forward to lobby Yan Liang and Wen Chou for Cao Cao. After all, these two people were extremely loyal to Yuan Shao... But Xu You's qualifications were older than the two. When he persuaded surrender, he even quoted classics, which eventually made Yan Liang and Wen Chou change their minds.

Especially when Yuan Shao died, Yan Liang and Wen Chou had no concern at all.

When they learned that Cao Cao was going to send troops to Hebei, they both wanted to make contributions in an imminent position, so they sought the position of vanguard.

Originally, Cao Cao was not relieved that Yan Liang was the vanguard. But at this time Xu You stood up and expressed his willingness to be a military advisor to help Yan Liang attack Li Yang.

These two people are old ministers from Hebei and have a very high prestige.

Every literature and martial arts complement each other, and more importantly, Yan Liang always respects Xu You.

"The lord promised him and the two of them were.

Ziyuan hated Yuan and had long been revenge. If he didn't let him go, he would feel resentful... More importantly, if Yuan Jun knew that their opponent was Yan Liang and Xu You, he would probably be disorganized without a confrontation."

Under Jia Xu's persuasion, Cao Cao finally decided to make Yan Liang the pioneer.

As expected by Jia Xu, the two men stationed troops in Yanjin. Before they could send troops, Yuan Xi of Liyang became panicked.

Not to mention Yuan Xi, even Guo Tu felt nervous.

He knew in his heart that he had contributed a lot to the killing of Xu You's family. Guo Tu knew Xu You's ability. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so afraid of Xu You. So when he learned that Xu You was back, he was suddenly nervous.

"Lord, Xu Ziyuan and Yan Liang join forces are probably a big deal.

It is hard for us to be the opponent of the two of them. We should notify the third son as soon as possible and ask him to send reinforcements."

Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed, but he knew in his heart that he should not be petty at this time. After thinking about it for a while, he sent someone to Yecheng and begged Yuan Shang to come for help. After Yuan Shang learned the news, he was also shocked. His father had passed away, Hebei was still in turmoil, and Liu Chuang in the north was aggressive, so Cao Cao wanted to send troops to attack. In this situation, how can he resist Cao Cao's fierce attack?

"Now, the Cao bandits took advantage of the turmoil in Hebei and sent troops to invade.
To be continued...
