Hedong County is one of the seven counties of Gyeonggi since the Han Dynasty, which is directly supervised by the commander of the school, belongs to the "three rivers", the land is fertile in the territory, becoming the granary of Guanzhong and Yanyang, and strategic materials such as salt ponds and iron ore, so it is extremely important, but compared with Hanoi and Henan, the status of Hedong County is more prominent in the military.

From the topography point of view, Hedong County and Guanzhong Chang'an and Yanyang are a triangular trend, whether it is Chang'an or Yuyang, Hedong is the frontier defense line, and in the world's hub, to the west is Guanzhong and Liangzhou, to the north to the state and Yuzhou, to the east is into Jizhou and Yanzhou, to the south is Hong Nong, Liyang and Yuzhou, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous.

Now it is the rear of Dong Zhuo, once the Hedong is lost, Dong Zhuo has broken the back road and it is difficult to return to the gate, so he has always left the most trusted son-in-law, Niu Fu, in Hedong Town.

For the duty of Hedong, the two Han Dynasty have always attached great importance to it, and entrusted with the heavy courtier.Zhang Liao's previous Hedong was Dong Zhuo himself, appointed by Han Lingdi.After the death of Ling Emperor, Dong Zhuo entered the power of Beijing and successively served as three chiefs, until now, the country was no longer too guarded by Hedong, but he did not appoint others to leave his position, but there was no suitable and trusted candidate.

So Zhang Liao this time as Hedong too guard, is also great luck, in addition to Li Ru's recommendation, more importantly, he saved Dong Zhuo's life, won the trust of Dong Zhuo, otherwise there is no chance.

At this time, Zhang Liao walked in Dayang County, the southernmost part of Hedong County, from the Shaanxian River to the north, to Maojin to the shore, he entered Dayang County.

Leaving Dong Zhuo, and having his own territory, Zhang Liao suddenly felt that the sky was wide, and the whole mood was comfortable, and it was always inconvenient to take the elbow and the secret calculation under Dong Zhuo.Moreover, he has great differences with Dong Zhuo's political views, and he can't see it now, but the more he is afraid, the more serious he is, so he still leaves early, so as not to break it in the future.

The so-called in its position to seek his government, now he is too guarded for the east of the river, to his own territory, of course, will subconsciously pay attention to the terrain and people's livelihood, along the way several observations and inquiries, the situation in Dayang County has some preliminary understanding.

Dayang County is the land of the ancient Yuguo, north of the middle of the Yellow River, from ancient times is the east of the river and the Central Plains grain transport, salt transport and the main road of the march, the territory has Mao Jindu, Dayangdu two major ancient ferry, plus Hongyang, Xianjin several small ferry, facing the Yellow River opposite the Hong Nong County, because of the Yangtze River, so the name of Dayang.False veal lice, cold lips, bolls, horses, etc., all take place here.

Zhang Liao had heard that the terrain of Hedong County was complex, but it was not until he entered the territory of Dayang County that he felt this more deeply.

Along the way, they have turned over seven or eight ravines, most of them are deep, wide and several miles wide, long and tailless, more than ten times wider than the gap between Zhang Fanggou and Xianyang in Liyang, uphill and down, the vehicle road is extremely difficult.

According to locals, only a large Yang County has more than 3,000 small gullies, so that Zhang Liao can't help but speak.

No wonder Dong Zhuo's most elite bear riding in the river for more than a year is difficult to completely defeat the White Wave Army, under this terrain, the advantage of cavalry is simply difficult to play, and the white wave army is able to attack and defend, once the loss, can retreat into the mountains or ravines at any time, the mountains and ravines are mostly connected, not afraid of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses chasing.

Now he has made himself too guarded the river, to destroy the white wave and the mountain forest of the bandits, afraid that it is also a problem, need to carefully plan and think.

However, there are many mountain springs and streams in these gullies, and the bamboo forest is rich, which is also an important dependence of the people for water and cattle, and from the people's livelihood, these gullies are also extremely advantageous.

In addition to the terrain, Zhang Liao also saw a lot of castle docks, the number, so that he can not help but frown.

Most of these castles were built by the powerful, but many of them were built by the court.Since the Han Dynasty chaos, the Qiang people have gone east to the south on several occasions, once entered the east of the Ku River, until Hanoi, which poses a great threat to the capital city of Yanyang, the Han Dynasty is weak, unable to resist, can only build a castle dock, set up drums, form a defensive belt in the east of the river and Hanoi, and guarding Yuyang.

Zhang Liao wants to completely control the river, first of all, these castle docks are a big problem in front of them, Haoqiang in which the recruitment of the trilogy, private tenant farmers, self-taxation, out of control, Zhang Liao has long intended to form the people, and will not let go, let alone the private soldiers.

But the castle is also good and bad, it is a hero's own cancer in the county and township, but also to protect the people from the alien and bandits, Yu Vlo was robbed in the east of the river, because there is a castle dock protection.

Therefore, in order to demolish and eliminate the castle, it is first necessary to calm the foreign, white-wave and bandits in the territory, make the river stable, and make the people's hearts stable, so that it can be done, otherwise it is likely to provoke civil unrest and be counterproductive.

Zhang Liao grinned, or to step by step, any thing is not done overnight, must be properly handled.Sure enough, one is not so good.

However, he is very confident in himself, otherwise even a state and county can not govern, what about the world?

Because there are family, Confucian and students in the team, but also to transport 10,000 volumes of books, so the road is slow, it is difficult to get to Anyi on the same day, Zhang Liao will rest in Dayang County for a night.

That night, he saw Gina.

When Zhang Liao was still in Liyang, Zhang Jian first let Zhang Jian take the shadow department to enter the river first, explore the news, and Guo Jia docking in a good place long ago designated, so as soon as he went to the east of the river, Guo Jia got the news and came by horse.

More than a month ago, Guo Jia lost a lot of weight, but the spirit is better.

"Oh," Guo Jia saw Zhang Liao, and he grew up: "Jia has seen the emperor, congratulatory to the king, the Lord with a weak crown in the year of the river is too guarded, ancient has not been."

“Oh hey!”Zhang Liao patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and laughed, "It's also filial piety to make fun of me."

“How dare you, how dare you.”Guo Jia busily said, "It is a pleasure for Jiashi not to expect that the Lord will be able to take the duties of the east of the river."

Zhang Liao chuckle, he understood the meaning of Guo Jia, with the Hedong too guarded this position, control the river is just and right, but the military or political affairs, can control, act will be a lot less constraints and troubles.

He groaned and asked Guo Jia, “What is the situation in the east of the river now?”

Guo Jia said, "Yang Sima's rebuke has gone to various counties to inquire about intelligence, and Sima has taken 500 tigers with Jia to forge a bandit, and has entered the white wave canal manager Han Si's men."

“Oh?”Zhang Liao's heart moved: "This white wave is Han Yusheng soldiers?"

"Very good."Guo Jia said, “It is Jia who incites him to unite Li Le and take advantage of the false attack on the cattle.”

“Very good!”Zhang Liao couldn't help but praise, Guo Jia did act flexibly, and even pretended to be a bandit with the white wave, which was undoubtedly a great good news for him, and dealing with white waves took a great advantage.

“Where is the white thief Guo Tai?”Zhang Liao asked again.

Guo Jia shook his head: "Guo Dage died last month, white waves a dark fight, Yang Feng returned to Li Fu, several other canal managers fought their own battles."

Zhang Liao couldn't help but be more pleased, the civil unrest in the white army was undoubtedly more good news for himself, even if he asked Guo Jia: "How should I act now?"

The river has become his own territory, and he cannot allow others to do things in it.
