Those who don't want to leave, that's fine. For those who do want to leave, we'll transfer them to Bingzhou as soon as possible.

There are already many people in the Taihang Mountains. Once we control Bingzhou, outsiders will no longer be able to interfere.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was on the verge of complete defeat, Tang Yu rescued some of them and moved them into the Taihang Mountains, thus preventing the Han army from eliminating them.

There are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels remaining in the Taihang Mountains. Once Tang Yu and his forces officially take control of Bingzhou, these people will be able to leave the Taihang Mountains and live a normal life.

Chapter 14 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

The new year had just begun when the warlords of Guandong launched a vigorous campaign against Dong Zhuo.

It was the first month of the first year of the Chuping era. Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance, and a group of people stationed their troops around Yuzhou.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, stationed troops in Hanoi, Han Fu, the governor of Ji Province, stayed in Ye to provide military provisions, and Kong Zhou, the governor of Yu Province, stationed troops in Yingchuan.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Zhang Miao, the prefect of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the chancellor of Jibei, and Cao Cao all stationed troops at Suanzao, while General Yuan Shu stationed troops at Luyang.

It can be said that the world was in great chaos.

However, none of this had anything to do with Tang Yu and Xun Yu, because just as the New Year arrived, Tang Xuan was appointed as the Prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture.

The siege of Luoyang by the warlords of Guandong directly cut off the tax revenue and grain supply to the surrounding areas. As a result, Luoyang is now short of both money and grain and is in great need of help. Dong Zhuo naturally and generously gave the position of governor to Tang Xuan.

After all, while Taiyuan County was an important location, it was far less important than other places, so Dong Zhuo's side felt that this deal was worthwhile.

As for Xun Yu, Hedong Commandery was wealthy, and this position was really hard to get. Dong Zhuo wanted to give it to his confidant.

Dong Zhuo then gave him a choice: whether or not he wanted the position of governor of Yanmen Commandery.

At this time, Yanmen County had been largely occupied by the Xianbei people.

Taking this governorship is essentially just an empty shell; he'll still need to spend money and lead troops to reclaim it.

However, Yanmen County was a good location for Tang Yu because he could obtain many warhorses there in the future, so he eventually managed to get the position of Prefect of Yanmen County.

Before leaving Luoyang, Xun Shuang and Xun You both met with Xun Yu separately because the position of governor of Yanmen Commandery was too strange.

At least from the Xun family's perspective and standpoint, there was really no need for them to go to Yanmen Pass.

"Wenruo, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Xun Shuang couldn't understand his nephew at all.

They went to Yanmen County, claiming they wanted to reclaim lost territory, but even if Xun Yu was clever, he wasn't a military general.

"Uncle, the northern part of Bingzhou has been invaded by the Hu people. If it cannot be recovered, the north will surely be controlled by the Hu people in the future. In a few years, the Central Plains will be in great danger!"

I chose to go to Yanmen County for two reasons: first, for the future, and second, because the northern part of Bingzhou is rich in water and grass, making it an excellent place to raise warhorses.

The world is currently in a state of flux and chaos, with signs of imminent disorder. I have decided to take a path that will bring peace back to the world as soon as possible.

Xun Shuang couldn't understand what path Xun Yu was going to take, but he knew it was a difficult and dangerous one.

At least on the surface, this choice had nothing to do with rebellion; Xun Shuang simply felt that this path was too difficult.

After all, those who currently harbor such thoughts have all gone to places like Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, where they have a chance to rebel.

What kind of rebellion could there be in that harsh and cold place like Bingzhou? Does it have money and food?

"Your mind is made up, and the imperial order has been issued. I am powerless to change it. Wenruo, take care of yourself."

Xun Yu understood that some of the things he did were destined to be misunderstood, so he would not force others to change their minds.

Therefore, Xun Yu was actually quite at ease after meeting Xun You.

“Gongda, you always manage to see the truth in complex matters at a glance. I do want to change the world in my own way.”

Xun You didn't actually have that much loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

He felt that the location was too harsh. Although Bingzhou was indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, how could they break out of it?

"I just don't understand why someone as intelligent as my uncle would choose this place, even though Youzhou seems better."

They could at least quickly march south and capture Ji Province.

Xun Yu couldn't help but smile.

"Gongda, on the other hand, knows perfectly well that the problem is not with Dong Zhuo, but with the problems of countless officials throughout the land."

Why insist on staying in Luoyang?

Upon hearing this, Xun You was speechless.

Because he was secretly plotting with someone to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Sometimes, no one can see the whole picture; they just choose the path they want to take.

At this time, the warlords of Guandong had not yet chosen their own territories, but were instead focused on overthrowing Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, the appointments of Xun Yu and Tang Xuan as prefects did not cause much of a stir in the hearts of the people.

Soon, the group set off for Yanmen County and Taiyuan County to assume their posts.

Since most of Yanmen County had already been occupied by the Xianbei Budugen, they couldn't go there directly, so they stayed in Taiyuan County for the time being.

However, after resting until spring, Tang Yu led 5,000 men out to fight.

These five thousand men were the strongest elites trained over the past few years. They had been transferred to Bingzhou in batches before, and then organized together after Tang Yu and his group arrived.

Upon receiving the news, Budugen was shocked. Five thousand Han Chinese dared to attack them; they were incredibly arrogant!

So the two sides engaged in a decisive battle in Yanmen County. Budugen even sent 20,000 troops to teach the Han army a lesson!

However, Tang Yu's army was the best-equipped elite force, and the swords and spears they carried were the sharpest weapons, modeled after the long spears and swords of later generations.

Furthermore, with the addition of full-body armor from later generations, the Xianbei people, whose technological level was still at that of the Han Dynasty, never expected such a display of power.

Although they had strong horses and elite cavalry.

However, they were far behind in terms of weaponry, and many arrows were even made from ground animal bones.

Tang Yu and his men were not afraid of the cavalry at all. Their long swords were three meters long and were made in imitation of the Tang Dynasty's Mo Dao. They could cut off the legs of horses with a single swing.

Therefore, Tang Yu's army fought more and more fiercely, and Budugen led a large number of Xianbei people to flee north, while Tang Yu led his soldiers to continue to pursue them northward.

Tang Yu stopped the pursuit only after the group had completely left Yanmen County.

It was now April of that year, and Yanmen Commandery had finally driven away all the Hu people, including the remaining Wuhuan and Xiongnu.

The entire Yanmen County was largely emptied.

If we were to replenish the population using conventional methods, it would certainly take five to ten years.

However, Tang Yu directly lured in people hiding in the Taihang Mountains.

The Yellow Turban Army originally hid here, and there were actually more than 50,000 people, including the elderly, women, children, and soldiers.

The Taihang Mountains are vast, and there are many bandit strongholds that have sprung up there.

Tang Yu planned to leave those to be wiped out later, but these 50,000 people really wanted to find a place to settle down.

Therefore, Xun Yu immediately went to Yanmen County to take up his post.

Next, Yuan Yue also brought over a large number of craftsmen and literate people.

To completely rule a place, one needs to re-register households, reclaim wasteland, and establish a new tax system...

Besides, people always need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

Therefore, organizing a group of people to immediately plant crops was the most urgent task.

As for building houses later to provide temporary shelter from the wind and rain, that is naturally on the agenda.

It can be said that after Yanmen County drove out the Hu people, the entire population of Yanmen County began to busy themselves with spring plowing.

It's no longer suitable to sow wheat at this time; only millet can be sown, as it is more resistant to cold and drought.

As for potatoes, the land of Bingzhou is bitterly cold, making them unsuitable for potatoes. Potatoes actually need a lot of water to sprout.

However, corn and sweet potatoes can be planted after April. These two are also relatively cold-resistant and drought-resistant, and can be promoted in Bingzhou for the time being.

Over the past few years, Tang Yu has accumulated a lot of grain seeds, which are now ready to be put to use.

Chapter 15 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

That year, no one paid attention to the changes in Yanmen County.

Driving the Xianbei people away would not affect the situation in the Central Plains, and no one thought that Xun Yu, the governor of Yanmen Commandery, could influence the world.

Therefore, Yanmen County, this remote and obscure place, was largely ignored, except by the powerful families of Bingzhou.

However, these people are just observing and have not made any probing moves.

After all, Tang Xuan, the prefect of Taiyuan, hasn't made any major moves yet. He's just handling routine affairs, just like any other prefect.

But some schemes have already been carried out in secret.

On Dong Zhuo's side, while Tang Yu was fighting in Yanmen County, he had already forcibly moved the capital, forcing Liu Xie and all the ministers to move to Chang'an.

By the end of the year, the warlords of Guandong had been defeated by Dong Zhuo several times, and the situation still seemed to favor Dong Zhuo.

However, after the new year arrived, Dong Zhuo was defeated by Sun Jian for the first time, and his strength was greatly weakened.

At this time, Dong Zhuo led his Xiliang army to hide in Chang'an, intending to divide the country in two and only guard the Guanzhong region.

He doesn't want the Kanto region anymore!

The cowardly Dong Zhuo, no longer as valiant as before, indulged in sensual pleasures.

After realizing that he could not rule the world, Dong Zhuo even spent a lot of money to build fortified villages outside Chang'an, as if this would make him feel safer.

At this time, Xun You joined forces with a group of people to assassinate Dong Zhuo, including Zheng Tai, He Yong, Zhong Ji, and Wu Qiong.

Unfortunately, the plot was exposed, and Xun You and his associates were arrested and imprisoned.

What was Yanmen County doing at this time? Naturally, they were still busy planting grain.

The new year has arrived, and last year's bumper harvest has given this group of people confidence in corn and sweet potatoes.

So these two grains were planted in large quantities this year, but soybeans, millet, and wheat remain the mainstream grains.
