Yangzhou Lujiang County, Zhishu County, under the leadership of 14 counties. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoTo the north are Runan and Jiujiang; Danyang in the east; south of Yuzhang; Jiangxia in the west. The river network in the territory is vertical and horizontal, the northwest is mountainous, and there are large rivers running through the southeast. At this time, Liu Bei stood behind Lu Zhi and looked at the large group of people who came out to greet him at the city gate. The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is really different from that of the north. Not to mention the scenery and climate, just look at the clothes and decorations of the characters. The northerners are taller and stronger, and the southerners are slightly shorter. The clothes in the north are more simple, but the south prefers gorgeous clothes.

In the evening, all the officials and gentry of Lujiang received the wind and washed the dust for Lu Zhi and his party, and at the banquet, the singing and dancing were endless, and the guests and hosts were happy.

Taishou Mansion, Lu Zhi, who returned from the banquet, changed his clothes and sat opposite Lu Min and Liu Bei. Liu Ke was seasick, vomiting all the way to the dark, and he was still recuperating and did not attend tonight's banquet.

Lu Zhi's face was like water, and he said softly: "What do you think of tonight's banquet?" ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh secretly, his countermeasures to follow Lu Zhi to the death were simply too right. Teacher, this is a guide to himself all the time. Along the way, from Lu Zhi's behavior, way of thinking, etc., Liu Bei can be said to have gained a lot.

Lu Min was a little excited: "My lord, the whole territory of Lujiang is in chaos, and the people are panicking, but the local officials are still doing nothing, sitting and watching the situation deteriorate. At today's banquet, the warblers are singing and dancing, and the sound is endless. I implore you to issue a rebuke tomorrow to correct the atmosphere! ”

Liu Bei secretly thought that Lu Zida was a young man with a very strong view of right and wrong, and he should not be able to look at the officialdom of Lujiang, but above the officialdom, it is a common practice to usher in the send-off, if he talks about this, he is afraid that he will be angry. The teacher has been in officialdom for a long time, how can he be as Lu Min wishes.

Liu Bei raised his eyes slightly, and saw Lu Zhi shaking his head and looking at him. Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Teacher, it is common practice for you to take up the post of Lujiang, and the gentry come to greet you. Not to be taken lightly. And the teacher's first task is to quell the rebellion, and everything else can be done by listening to his words, watching his deeds, and acting slowly. ”

Liu Bei's words won Lu Zhi's meaning. He wanted to go back to Luoyang to compile books, where did he want to take care of many in Lujiang, and there were many unwritten conventions in the officialdom, as long as it was not too much under his nose, he was happy to turn a blind eye. Of course, counterinsurgency is a matter of immediate importance, and now that the rebellion has swept through and many of its leaders have been displaced, he cannot sit idly by.

Early the next morning, Lu Zhi summoned the county officials in the public hall and mobilized the documents to read carefully. The county is the second official, with a rank of 600 stones, and is responsible for the civil affairs of a county, except for Taishou, he is the largest. Chengsun Hai of Lujiang County, a native of Yizhou, is also a new appointment, soon after arriving in Lujiang, there was a rebellion, he has not figured out what the situation is, the bad news in front of him is spread again, and he is too defensive to die in battle. Lu Zhi asked him, he was also blind to the situation in Lujiang, and he could only pick up what he knew.

"Taishou, according to a certain investigation, the disaster occurred in the county, the local clan Huang bullied the mountain people, robbed the mountain goods, and killed several people, and then the mountain people gathered to surround the Huang Mansion, the Huang family sent people to report to the official, and the county order sent the county lieutenant to suppress and disperse. As a result, there were conflicts, and each was killed and wounded, and the mountain people set fire to the Yellow Mansion in a fit of rage. When the mountain people in Lu'an, Longshu and other places heard the news, they also reversed.

A month later, the Xiang'an clan and the mountain people regenerated disagreement, so the mountain people in Xiang'an, Linhu and other counties rebelled. He and the thieves in Longshu County echoed each other, and approached Lujiang City one by one. It was the former Taishou Chen who made Jun recruit Jian'er, and fought in battle, but he was shot by a stray arrow and unfortunately left......" Speaking of this, Sun Hai couldn't help but sigh. There are more than 100 counties in the country, and Taishou is the military and political chief of a county, with high power, and for more than 100 years, there are very few people who have died in battle. It is no wonder that the Son of Heaven and the four governments commissioned Lu Zhilai, and they were worried that there would be any more mistakes, so they also sent a northern army to do Lu Zhi's troops.

Something is not so rosy. It can be seen from the map that the fourteen counties of Lujiang County, from northeast to southeast, are arranged in turn, forming an interesting pattern similar to ">", and the northwest and southwest, except for the southwest Xunyang, there is no county. Because the central and western regions are mountainous, the Dabie Mountains are here. It is sparsely populated, not as good as the northeast and southeast, and it is a hilly plain area, which is suitable for human habitation. At this time, Lu'an, Lixian, Longshu, Linhu, Xiang'an and other counties are all opposed, which is really nerve-wracking. These counties are all counties on the Lujiang River, rich places, this chaos, I don't know how many people died, and I don't know how many people became homeless. Lu Zhi thought of the depression in the territory after the war, and he couldn't help but have a headache in his heart, and he was also extremely angry at the Huang family who caused the trouble.

Lu Zhi started from the end of the micro and had a deep understanding of the Qianshou who were struggling at the bottom of society. They have very few demands, just that they do not lack food and clothing, that they do not have to be displaced, that they can have a stable place to live, and that they can live a stable life. It's not that they are forced to have no way to live, who wants to pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers and do the work of rebellion? It's a point of no return. Since ancient times, only official coercion can lead to popular rebellion.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation increased, and countless yeoman farmers became tenants and displaced people. Social contradictions have also become more acute. Many thoughtful and upright officials have discovered this problem, including Liu Bei's teacher, Lu Zhi. They wrote to the Son of Heaven again and again, hoping to reform politics, clarify the rule of officials, and comfort the localities. In order to achieve the purpose of alleviating social contradictions. It's a pity that the Son of Heaven only knows that he is a eunuch, and he collects money everywhere, which makes the chickens and dogs of the four seas restless. And the Northwest Qiang chaos has lasted for decades, and the situation has been back and forth, wasting money and money. It even led to the exhaustion of the imperial treasury over the years. Later, the yellow turban was chaotic, Zhang Jiao gave an order, the world responded, and the four seas shook. The imperial court did not have enough money to quell the rebellion, so the Son of Heaven had to order the local shepherds to recruit troops and salaries on their own. Since then, the authority of the imperial court has been declining, and the local heroes who have the right to recruit troops and control the military and government of a place and raise troops on their own have begun to disregard the imperial court. This is an important incentive for the princes to divide the world after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Lu Zhi chatted with Sun Hai for a few more words, entrusted Sun Hai with all the political affairs of a county, and ordered Sun Hai to send people to the rebels to inquire about the news. Only then did he finish his business and retreat to the inner hall.

Lu Min and Liu Bei had nothing to do, and looked at the map of Lujiang over and over again, you and I talked about how to lure and how to set up an ambush, and the discussion was very intense. When Lu Zhi came back and saw that they were fighting for a red face and thick neck, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why lure, why ambush?" I am the king and teacher, how can I be afraid of the disorderly and chaotic people? ”

One sentence shocked the two brothers, Lu Min was fine, as soon as Lu Zhi spoke, he didn't dare to squeak. Liu Bei said: "Teacher, the situation is unknown, and there are many thieves, so don't be careless!" ”

Lu Zhi nodded with a smile and said, "That makes sense." But I am an official, and he is a thief. My tribe is the elite of the world, but he only relies on the number of people. The thieves caused trouble in Lujiang, and the prestige of the government was lost. I want to break it with a dignified army. Make it appreciate the military might of the Han Dynasty, and dare not commit it again. And the fine work has been sent out, and in a few days, news will come......"

Lu Zhi said a lot, which probably meant that he had to despise the other party strategically, and he was carefully prepared tactically. Liu Bei didn't understand military affairs in his previous life, but he still had knowledge. I can't help but feel that Lu Zhi has a good point. I don't take you seriously in my attitude, which will naturally raise the morale of the soldiers, but if I am cautious and shrink back, the soldiers will feel pessimistic. It's a psychological problem. It seems that I still have a lot to learn, Liu Bei thought. Thinking about the story in the romance just now, he was going to discuss fire attack, water attack, surprise attack and other plans with Lu Min, and couldn't help but blush.

A few days later, the news came one by one, the thieves and ants of the three northern counties gathered in Longshu, and the commander of Longshu County was gathering people in the city to defend the county seat. And the thieves in Linhu are walking around the city, even breaking several local big dock villages, after the thieves enter the village, burning, killing and looting, all evil, the people of Linhu have been killed and injured countless times. A large number of chaotic people are helping the old and the young, coming to the Lujiang River.

On this day, Lu Zhi feasted the gentry in the city in the Taishou Mansion and drank three rounds. Lu Zhi said: "Thank you for your affection, come to the banquet today. I have decided to recruit troops and go to Pingjiao. Speaking of this, Lu Zhi paused. When everyone heard Taishou say that he was about to go to Pingjiao, they applauded. One by one, they persuaded them to hold the wine, and they were too strong to keep their manners.

Lu Zhi is good at drinking, and he doesn't say much, and he doesn't refuse to come. After a round of drinking, he said: "It's just that the money and food in the house are quite insufficient." I want to borrow military rations from you for the time being, so as to reward the strong men. How is it? ”

Suddenly, at the banquet that was still noisy just now, there was silence. Good horseman, he dared to hit us with his idea. Someone cursed in his heart. At the feast, countless eyes were gathering, colliding, and then reaching a tacit understanding. But Lu Zhi held a cup in one hand and looked at all this with a smile on his face.

In fact, Lu Zhi also had no choice, the three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the former Taishou sent the army to break the thieves, but he died not to mention, and the money and grain books were also lost, and now the treasury is not only short of money and grain, but also all of them are confused. It was too late to ask for food in the court, the time was urgent, and Lu Zhi didn't have time to clarify them one by one, so he could only hit the idea on the major landlords in Lujiang.

Half an hour later, an old man attended the ceremony and said, "Lu Envoy, my Li family is willing to offer 100,000 yuan of grain and 10,000 yuan for military funds." "This person Lu Zhi recognizes, the head of the Li family in Lujiang, Li. Lijiatian has countless forests and mountains, and there are no less than 10,000 acres of good land alone, and several caravans are operated. He is one of the best gentry in Lujiang, but now he is only willing to donate 10,000 yuan of grain. Hmph, when you are asking for food?

With the leading brother, one by one came out to express his attitude, you donate 100, I donate 80, anyway, there are more than a dozen people here, and none of them exceeds Li Zhu's grain and 10,000 yuan. Lu Zhi was still smiling on his face, but this smile was gradually getting colder, how could he not see that these people were boycotting him.

Lu Zhi remained silent, and raised his glass with a smile to thank everyone for their contributions to the imperial court in Lujiang. Everyone saw that Tai Shouyan smiled as before, and the heart in their hearts fell involuntarily. It was heart-wrenching to ask them to pay for food. However, Lu Taishou is quite easy to speak, and it seems that there is no need to increase the size. Everyone thought. didn't know that Lu Zhi was thinking about settling accounts after the fall.
