Chapter 238 Dilapidated City Wall
After the gathering of Changzi City, Liu Tao and his group continued to head north. Considering the good road conditions, they basically moved forward rapidly at a speed of hundreds of miles a day.
When passing by Jinyang, Liu Tao had a moment of planning to visit Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou. This person died on the battlefield three years later, in 188, due to the invasion of the Hu people.
This incident not only led to Ding Yuan becoming the new governor of Bingzhou. The key point was that Liu Yan, who was transferred back to Luoyang to serve as Taichang, also proposed to Liu Hong to restore the state and pastoral system.
The governor of the state could not mobilize the border troops. When Tu Xiuhu and the Southern Xiongnu invaded Xihe County, this person who could organize military and civilian resistance should be a respectable official. After all, the timid one was afraid that he would have run away long ago.
But in the end, he still didn't see him. Zhizhong was engaged in the statement that the governor was not in the yamen and did not know when he would come back. Liu Tao could only leave some gifts and famous sects, and then set off. He could not wait for Zhang Yi to come back here.
"It's a pity. I originally planned to see what kind of person Zhang Yi was." Liu Tao sighed a little. If he could protect him in 188, Ding Yuan would probably not have taken office.
If Ding Yuan did not take office, would Zhang Yi lead his army south when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing? This proposition is actually very interesting. If Lu Bu did not go south, then history would directly change drastically.
Compared with this, Ren Hongchang followed himself in advance, and this change was not even considered a ripple.
"What's special about this person?" Lu Yan asked curiously. He was sure that Liu Tao had never seen Zhang Yi before, so what's going on now is probably related to the 'future'.
"I don't know much about him, I just care about his successor... Speaking of which, you must be prepared. In three years, there will probably be a large-scale invasion of Hu people. The Hu people will invade Xihe County. Although it is far away from us, we must be careful." Liu Tao shook his head, then realized something and whispered.
"In three years, it's hard to say whether you can stand firm in Yunzhong County..." Lu Yan sighed. This time he came to Yunzhong County to work was a pitfall.
"It's useless to say anything without going there. It's just like we have been planning for several days, but after all, we don't know much about the actual situation there." Liu Tao replied.
Some time ago, he used the "Wind Dragon Insight" almost every day to check the situation there, using the cloud as the basis, and observing the past to the surroundings. He believed that he understood the situation in the counties there, but he was only the part he saw.
After all, I can’t see the situation in the room. I see people talking, but I don’t know what they are saying. I can’t expect anyone to speak official words. I want to know what they are saying through my mouth, and Liu Tao can’t do it.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty has no plans, so he has troubled us too much." Lu Yan looked at the baggage force and saw a hundred yellow crossbows. This was sent by Your Majesty before going to war.
With these things, you can at least slightly restrain the Hu people's cavalry to a certain extent. Especially when defending the city, the range can be increased higher, especially for the Hu people, if you hold on to death, it is just leather armor.
When entering Yanmen County, this was the first time Liu Tao had dealt with the border army. To be honest, the soldiers here were very happy at the beginning when they saw their troops.
It was also later that they found out that they thought their troops were coming to replace them. The border army was indeed a place where they could quickly earn credit.
But you will never know when the enemy will come, how many people you will face, how many people you will fight against, especially when you don’t have much supplies!
When they knew that Liu Tao and others came to Yunzhong to be the prefect and were stationed there, they were somewhat disappointed, but at the same time they breathed a little relieved. At least something happened to Yunzhong, they didn't need to rush over to support them.
Liu Tao once thought about finding Lu Bu in it. Lu Bu seemed very famous in the border army. If you report the name, the soldiers of the border army could directly think of this person. However, it seems that Lu Bu's army is currently stationed in Wuyuan County, not in Yanmen.
The most elite and the most severe place to guard... Liu Tao sighed. He would not ask why the border troops did not expand their troops, and why did they not divide their troops to guard Yunzhong County.
These are all very stupid questions: the court did not provide so many institutions, there was no money to expand the army, and there were no weapons or anything else; it was even more impossible to divide the troops, as this would only be defeated by the Hu people, and in the final analysis, it was a lack of cavalry.
The three thousand cavalrymen are currently in Wuyuan County, Yanmen, and there are not even cavalrymen.
"The situation on the border is very serious..." Guan Yu sighed. As a native of Hedong, he also served as a ranger for a while, but he really didn't feel anything about the situation on the border.
Zhang Fei and Lu Yan, who are in Zhuo County, probably have no feeling. After all, the Hu people rarely go south to Zhuo County. However, I heard that the Kebineng tribe of the Xianbei people visited a lot.
The Xianbei went south to hunt grass valley without anything, or plundered purely for the sake of looting. After all, they all wanted to become the next Sandalwood and stone locust, and needed a lot of supplies and population as war reserves.
It is impossible for Hanting to sit and watch the other party come and chop their claws every time they come. Strictly speaking, it has been fighting for more than 400 years, and it has long been a deep hatred and has nothing to do with the debate between China and the barbarians, the nation, etc.
He has no concept of ethnicity. Liu Tao remembers that in the former Han Dynasty, he specially found the ancestors of China for these Hu people, and then told the other party: We are actually brothers of the ancestors.
This Liu Tao thinks that learning is the first, especially when he is the invader.
Finally, the group passed through Dingxiang County and came to Jiling County. Here, they had already entered the area of Yunzhong County. The city walls that had been stormy and depressed streets and few residents were the ones. This was Jiling County, which gave Liu Tao the most direct feeling.
The county magistrate is a seventy-year-old man. It is said that he was promoted by the county magistrate. In fact, there was no formal appointment. It was mainly Jiling County. It has been around for almost ten years since there was no county magistrate.
Liu Tao was indeed impressed by a strong dragon who could not defeat local tyrants. He was able to be a county magistrate for ten years as a county magistrate. Finally, he was appointed as a county magistrate of Jiling County as a county magistrate, and his original chief clerk was promoted to a county magistrate.
Ten years, ten years! The old county magistrate knew that he had finally become a regular person, so there was no need to worry that a county magistrate suddenly came from above and squeezed him out. He was immediately grateful and bowed to Liu Tao: "The emperor thanked the prefect!"
Liu Tao comforted him a few words and then continued to go north. The situation in Shaling County was similar, so he had to leave the program as well. Then he came to Yunzhong with the gratitude of the new county magistrate.
When a slightly dilapidated city appeared on the horizon... Liu Tao was in a daze at that time.
