After successfully dealing with Liu Dai's army, I will bring the captives to Puyang City. Using the usual method of selecting soldiers, I will select the best soldiers to supplement the Tiger Infantry Camp and Dragon Xiang Camp. The rest of the strong soldiers will be organized into the City Defense Army. 20,000 soldiers will be selected from the 40,000 soldiers and will be organized into eight battalions. The generals and assistants will be selected according to my method of selecting talents through martial arts competitions. The remaining 20,000 old and weak will be reorganized into the Field Army and handed over to Du Qingling, the former Chief Secretary of East County.(Character Wu, quite talented in governance, good friends with Qiao Mao. Seeing that our army is avenging Qiao Mao, and that our army is strong, he has joined us.) Leader, imitate our Beihai regulations and choose wasteland to open up wasteland.
Due to political considerations, as an ally not long ago, I didn't kill Liu Dai. Instead, I exiled him. Originally, Chen Gong had been looking on coldly from the side, but after I defeated Liu Dai, and especially after I settled down my army, I was already filled with admiration. One must know that although the world was in chaos, the food supply was not so tight that Cao Cao had to rely on human flesh. The only vassal who knew how to prepare for a rainy day and put food production in such an important position was Qingzhou. One could see how far-sighted and ambitious I was. More importantly, the tax policy I implemented was an extremely generous policy to benefit the people in this chaotic world. In addition, I did not kill Liu Dai and chose to exile him. In the eyes of a standard scholar-bureaucrat like Chen Gong, I was seen as a person of the same kind as him.
Although Liu Dai's fate was changed by me, he still had a strong vitality like a cockroach. After wandering in Jianghu for several years, he still found Yuan Shao and was recommended by Yuan Shao to be the prefect of Lujiang. From then on, in Yangzhou, Liu Dai and Liu Yao brothers began their journey of conquering Yangzhou. In this history that had already been changed, could the two brothers join hands to open up a situation in Yangzhou and change history further?
"I successfully established my own power in Yanzhou and took advantage of the opportunity to subdue Dongping on my way home. At this time, the propaganda that I deployed before the expedition finally had some effect. Shanyang Juye Li Dian, also known as Mancheng, Yangping Weiguo Lejin, also known as Wenqian, came to join me. I was overjoyed. I knew that these two people were both civil and military, and they were steady people. They were the ideal candidates for me to guard Dongping and Dongjun. I appointed Li Dian as the prefect of Dongping and transferred Chen Gong to be the staff officer of Li Dian's army to guard Dongping together." They are allowed to recruit 20,000 Dongping City Defense Army soldiers according to our military standards to guard against the invasion of a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers in Taishan Prefecture. He ordered Le Jin to be the commandant of Yanzhou and stationed in Puyang to defend East County with Han Hao. He would train and recruit the East County City Defense Army according to our military standards. In a short period of time, I had gained control of two counties in Yanzhou, with close to 150,000 households and 800,000 people under my control. Adding on our good relationship with Bao Xin of Ji Bei, our army had become the strongest faction in Yanzhou.
After I gained control of Dongjun and Dongping in Yanzhou, the entire strategic situation has changed. Our army's strength in Qing and Yanzhou has gradually become prominent. It is the main force of the Imperial Court in the two provinces in name, but it has also become a threat to some factions. We have hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban elites (or Zang Ba and the other independent forces that started from the Yellow Turban and are inextricably linked to the Yellow Turban) and nearly two million powerful forces controlled by the enemy forces. They are entrenched in the heart of the two provinces. Their strength in terms of numbers alone is enough to intimidate people. Therefore, before our army can resolve these major problems, our army will not be able to move.
According to my understanding of the original history, regarding the vast territory east of Luoyang, Yuan Shao will soon occupy Jizhou, Gongsun Zan will begin the battle for Youzhou with Liu Yu, Liu Biao will adopt the suggestion of Jingzhou famous scholar, the Shuang Bi of the Yi family, and quickly conquer Jingzhou, Cao Cao will occupy some large prefectures in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian will move to the border of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. The entire world will enter the most complicated period of war at the end of the Han Dynasty. Now, our army has seized the opportunity to occupy Dongjun, the place where Cao Cao had made his fortune in the past. The current Cao Cao has become a rootless duckweed like Liu Bei in his early years. I analyzed the trend of power development during this period and discussed it with Guo Jia. I tried to set a favorable strategy for our army. Before I subdued the huge Yellow Turban forces under my rule, the other forces would not rise too quickly and pose a huge threat to our army. It's just that there was too much information at the moment, and many of the future developments were also very variable. I had no clue at all.
However, Guo Jia had already benefited a lot from my ideas. He had already gotten used to my astonishing "insight" in analyzing strategic trends. From the possible ideas I had proposed, he had carefully calculated and believed that the greatest danger in the future would be in Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao said that he had an irreparable personality defect in dominating the world, he was indeed a one-time pick. In terms of talent and strategy, only three or five people could be compared in this period. Moreover, he was born in a family background and had a strong foundation. Once he started a rebellion, if there was no external force to balance him, no one north of the Yellow River could compete with him. Once he had Ji, You, and Bing, he would take the horses and soldiers of You and Bing to form an iron cavalry and rely on the granary of Jizhou to accumulate food and grass. His military strength will be second only to Dong Zhuo, who currently holds the three elites of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Flying Cavalry, and Imperial Army. He will definitely become a great threat to our army in the future.
Therefore, according to Guo Jia's suggestion, in order to contain Yuan Shao who was about to seize Jizhou, I unexpectedly appointed Wang Kuang as the Henan Yin of Sizhou (At that time, after Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang, there was no one in Sizhou, and the Henan Yin was almost equivalent to the governor of Sizhou). I sent this ally of Yuan Shao to Henan Prefecture and appointed Cao Cao as the prefect of Hanoi in an attempt to use Cao Cao to contain Yuan Shao. Cao Cao did not disappoint me. After receiving my report, Cao Cao, who did not have any territory, was overjoyed. He quickly led the newly recruited and original troops to Hanoi. After a short battle, Cao Cao, who had my support, finally defeated the local forces supported by Yuan Shao and obtained the relatively rich Hanoi County. Cao Cao seized the opportunity to recruit troops and horses, recruiting talents, and quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops. They also established 5 elite battalions (however, the structure was different from ours, it was still a 7-level military system, 1 battalion had 5 divisions and 2000 people), which had a subtle relationship with Yuan Shao's army currently stationed in Hanoi.
In Jingzhou, in order to contain Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, I took advantage of the opportunity when Liu Biao had not completely subdued the Jingzhou bandits to appoint Sun Jian as the prefect of Xiangyang. I asked Sun Jian to take this opportunity to immediately go south and occupy the rich Xiangyang while Liu Biao went to deal with the bandits. With Sun Jian's powerful commanding ability and the help of the powerful Han and Huang generals, he quickly recovered the military strength that was severely damaged by Dong Zhuo's elite troops. For a time, his strength increased greatly. And now, Yuan Shu's forces occupied Nanyang unjustly, forming a delicate balance between the three heroes. They no longer had to rely on others in the original situation.
"As for Youzhou, I'm trying to change Gongsun Zan's fate because Gongsun Zan gave me Zhao Yun. I'm making Gongsun Zan the prefect of Liaodong so that Gongsun Zan can lead his army to Liaodong after returning to Youzhou and start a war with Gongsun Du and Gao Gouli to fight for the dominance of Liaodong and Daifang. I hope that this can ease the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. In this way, the two of them will exert greater pressure on the Hu tribe in the north." It will be a more favorable situation for our Han Dynasty. Gongsun Zan, who had his own territory, would have a smaller chance of fighting with Liu Yu and Liu Yu, which would allow Gongsun Zan, who had left Yuan Shao, to have a chance of survival. For Gongsun Zan's talent, the identity of a prefect was clearly more conducive to Gongsun Zan's performance. Moreover, in terms of suppressing the foreign tribes in the Northern Lands, Gongsun Zan was much more resourceful than most of the heroes of this period.
This was a series of grand schemes that came from the genius Guo Jia and was carried out by me. The development of the situation in the world was so fast that it was difficult for the eyes to catch it. History has finally deviated from the norm due to my interference. " From the current situation, it seems that the changes are beneficial to the development of our Beihai. But for our Han people, is this change good or bad? I was starting to get confused. Because of this, the relationship between the heroes of Shandong began to change drastically. The chaotic situation of vertical and horizontal attacks began. Moreover, it was even more chaotic than the original space-time, and the people who suffered the most in the chaotic battle were the tens of thousands of people. But will history really change in the direction I expect?
