Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Jinyang City
“Good, everyone is doing well. I am proud of your existence!” Zhang Chao raised the three-foot sword in his hand and said loudly.

“Long live Second Childe, long live Second Childe!” The Black-clothed Heavy Cavalry was also very excited. After two years of separation, they saw their master again, causing them to be equally excited.

The battle between Chao Ge and Zhang Chao ended here, Zhang Chao fought less and fought more, obtaining the final victory.

At the same time, they also took the opportunity to give Heishan Army a heavy blow, so that they did not dare to dare to small Zhang Chao, the emperor’s personal worship of the general.

With the captives and nearly a hundred carts of belongings, Zhang Chao and the others set off again, heading from Chao Ge to Hu Guan.

Hu Guan, also known as Hukou Guan, my son valley. Dongyang Pass Town, northeast of Licheng County, Shanxi Province. It was the gateway to the southeast of Bing Prefecture.

As long as he defended the Hu Pass, it would be equivalent to defending the north and west roads from Yanzhou and Jizhou, which could be said to be the first strategic stronghold of Bing Zhou.

First step to here country and cao cao also saw the importance of this place, this has xu yuanzhi and coppage, the so-called double xu with heavy troops here.

After repelling the army of Yu Du and Bai Lao, from Chao Ge to Hukou Pass, they arrived at the pass three days later without hindrance. Xu Shu, giffin, lu su three people with five hundred sergeants in closed array to meet.

Before Zhang Chao attacked the horse, the three counselors bowed together and said, “Welcome master into the seclusion!”

The five hundred soldiers behind him also said in unison, “Welcome master into the seclusion.”

“Hahaha, Yuan Zhi, Wen He, Zi Jing, you’ve worked hard.” Seeing the three high-ranking counselors and all the soldiers dismount, Zhang Chao laughed loudly and went forward to help the three of them up one by one.

“Master is the one who worked hard all the way.” Cao Shu looked at Zhang Chao and said sincerely.

Ever since Cai Yong recommended him to be Zhang Chao’s aide, Xu Shu had found a goal in life. In particular, Lord’s trust in him made him even more grateful. The ancients all had the idea that a scholar would die as a confidant, and he was like this.

“Yuan Zhi is guarding the most important place in Bing Prefecture, which is the hardest. Now, tell me about the situation here.” Zhang Chao pulled Cao Shu’s arm and said as he walked towards the entrance of the pot.

“Yes.” After cao cao promised, this began to introduce the situation he knew, and some of the plans discussed with country.

Two years ago, country, cao cao and general huang zhong, tardif, coppage and others came to bing. With five hundred boxes of treasures, he quickly established his own power here. According to Zhang Chao’s suggestion when he separated, he began to prepare for the construction of Jinyang City.

At that time, zhang chao is just a nameless guangling satrap, but country and cao cao shu firmly believe, that is to say, master said fast for a year and a half, late for three years into bing, then it must be possible to do, they have to do all the preparatory work, in order to wait for master to come to faster realization of the plan in the heart.

For this matter, country with heavy troops to taiyuan prefecture, cao cao led troops to shangdang prefecture began to make their own preparations.

The preparations are. Battle with the Montenegrin Army to enhance the reputation and influence of the 1st legion; Finding quarries and preparing timber for future development; Understand the customs of Bingzhou City, map landform, in order to facilitate the management of preparation; Only by sending Heaven’s Eye members into the surrounding ethnic minorities, knowing one’s enemy and oneself, can one win a hundred battles…

Listening to Cao Shu’s introduction, Zhang Chao kept nodding as he walked, “Well, you and Feng Xiao did a good job. I can rest assured of your work.”

“Thank you for your trust, Master.” Cao Shu hurriedly bowed again.

“Haha, Yuan Zhi, please come in. Right, what you said just now is the progress of some things, then tell me about the difficulties now.” Zhang Chao didn’t believe that everything would go smoothly. It was impossible to say that there were Heishan Army, Xiongnu, and other nationalities watching from outside. There was no difficulty at all.

“Yes.” Xu Shu agreed and said, “Lord, there are a lot of difficulties.” But one of the most important is that the population is too small. You don’t know, because Bingzhou City is located in the northern border, coupled with perennial invasion by the huns and so on, so that at this time is sparsely populated, a large number of fertile land was barren, and a large number of reclamable grain fields, if used well, this is definitely a large granary. However, we are often troubled by the lack of food. For this matter, Feng Xiao and I have thought of all sorts of methods. They are all bought at high prices in Jizhou, You Zhou and Hedong. This has caused our treasures to decrease day by day. ”

Speaking of these things, Xu Shu’s face was obviously filled with melancholy. Obviously, the money was spent on food, and he was very distressed.

“Yes.” Zhang Chao’s expression also became heavy.

When it came to fighting, the ancient times were like the modern times, fighting for money and grain. If you don’t have enough supplies, winning on the battlefield is a luxury. Do you still expect an army with a hungry stomach to win?

Moreover, Zhang Chao had always attached great importance to the army. He was well aware of the meaning behind the emergence of political power from the barrel of a gun. If he wanted to create an empire of his own, he had to have enough troops as backing. And this army must be loyal enough, otherwise, like dong zhuo, his subordinates can rebel at any time, such a regime is unstable.

For this reason, Zhang Chao would pay the army and develop the army under the premise of guaranteeing their rights and interests. This would require more money to support them. But now, the limited amount of money was really used to buy food. This was definitely not what he thought.

“Alright, Yuan Zhi, I know everything you said. Don’t worry, this matter will be resolved very soon. I’ve brought so many refugees here this time to prepare for it.”

“Yes, Lord has a plan. With these people, the need for food can be alleviated.” Xu Shu said with admiration from the bottom of his heart. When the 100,000 refugees appeared under Hu Guan yesterday, he knew that Zhang Chao had already made plans.

Ancient times did not have such a high level of technology and ability. If one wanted to accomplish something, they would have to rely on manpower to do it. As a result, the importance of population became apparent. Zhang Chao had long since seen this point. This time, the 100,000 refugees he brought were the main force in building Bingzhou City.

Naturally, just pointing at these people was very difficult to accomplish, but everything was difficult to begin with. As long as these people supported and worked hard, Bingzhou City would definitely flourish in the end.

After staying in Hu Guan for three days, Xu Shu, Jia Xu and Lu Su registered 100,000 refugees respectively.

Actually, this kind of thing had always been done. Now that they had entered Bingzhou City, it would be considered safe. This matter had also entered the final stage.

After registering the refugees, Zhang Chao would take his army out of Hukou and head to Jin Yang City in Taiyuan Prefecture of Bing Prefecture.

When they left, Zhang Chao left the more than ten thousand captives of the Montenegro army to Cao Shu. According to what he meant, the entrance of the Hukou Pass was not high enough, it was not dangerous enough, and it still needed to be built. In the future, this place would become a dangerous pass to ensure the safety of the Bing Province Gateway.

…

Jinyang City.

At the end of June 192, Zhang Chao brought 5,000 cavalry, 30,000 captives of the Montenegro Army, and 100,000 civilians to the city gates where the Bingzhou Prefecture and the Taiyuan Prefecture were located and where the Bingzhou Prefecture and the Bingzhou Prefecture and the Prefecture Prefecture were located.

Chief strategist country, general tardif and the rest of the legion soldiers in front of the gates to welcome. At the same time, there were 30,000 people in the city who came to see the liveliness.

Before Zhang Chao appeared, the news that he was worshipped as a general by Emperor Han Xian and named Bingzhou City Mu spread. The people here also knew that they were about to welcome a young Zhou Mu, but they did not have much confidence in his abilities.

Bing Zhou was the first to have Zhou Mu, and the famous one was Ding Yuan.

Ever since Ding Yuan left for Luoyang, the entire Bingzhou City had become an unattended child, not even a symbolic prefecture shepherd. Now that three years had passed and there was a new owner, the people couldn’t help but be very curious. After knowing that Zhou Mu had assumed office today, they all left the city to see the liveliness.

For the people to see who is ZhouMu, country after know the news did not stop, just focus on arranging a security work. He believed that zhang chao is also willing to get close to the people, this may be what master needs.

When Zhang Chao brought more than a hundred thousand people to the east gate of Jinyang City, what he saw was precisely this scene in front of him.

“Lord, look! Military Counselor Guo and General Taishi are here to welcome us.” Zhao Yun, who was wearing a milky white cape, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a broad face, rode to Zhang Chao’s side and said excitedly.

“Yes.” Zhang Chao smiled and looked into the distance, feeling very excited.

“Lord, why are there so many civilians? Could it be that there are some assassins hiding inside? Wait for me to disperse them.” Dian Wei saw that there were indeed tens of thousands of people in Jincheng. He was worried that there would be a security problem, so he said so, wanting to bring the Iron Guard with him.

However, this action was indeed stopped by Zhang Chao. “You shouldn’t be so reckless. These people are our brothers and sisters in the future. How can you treat them like this?”

“Master, what if there is an assassin among them?” Dian Wei said anxiously.

“Don’t tell me you don’t believe in your own abilities? In short, you can’t disperse. You and Zhong Kang will follow me later.” Zhang Chao was also unable to confirm that there were no malicious plots among these people. However, this was indeed a good appearance and an opportunity to meet the local people. He didn’t want to miss it like this.

“Oh.” Dian Wei agreed, and then he held the Twin Iron Halberd behind his waist in his hand, ready to attack at any time. Xu chu is also holding the long saber between his hands, a ready to take out a knife to kill people.

Zhang Chao did not comment on these two final-level bodyguards. They had their responsibilities, so there was nothing wrong with them.
