Chapter 4: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat, Section 14 |On June, Jizhou. Due to the changing situation in Guanzhong and the inability to accurately predict the fate of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, Li Hong and the generals discussed for a long time, so they decided to launch an attack on Gongsun Zan in advance to ensure the occupation of the entire territory of Jizhou.

Only after taking Jizhou did Northern Xinjiang have the spare strength to take care of Guanzhong. In May, he led his army to Nanpi City in Bohai County and joined Zhang Yan's army.

The two armies, under the command of Zhang Yan, launched a siege battle against Nanpicheng in early June. After Gongsun Zhan was defeated and retreated to Bohai County, there was a fierce dispute over whether the generals of Youzhou should withdraw from Jizhou.

Gongsun Zhan didn't want to give up Jizhou, he also wanted to fight another battle with the Northern Xinjiang Army. If you can keep Bohai County and unite Youzhou and Qingzhou, you will still have the capital to compete with Li Hong in the future.

If all the troops returned to Youzhou, it would be difficult to pose any threat to Li Hong when there was a serious shortage of money and food.

For this reason, he ordered all the remaining tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers to be recruited into the army, and ordered the army to dispatch to confiscate the property of the wealthy families of the noble lords of Hejian State and Bohai County, and rob everything they could.

Even if the Northern Frontier Army occupied Hejian and Bohai County a few months later, it would still be in ruins. Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County cried for a while, and there were Youzhou iron horsemen burning and looting everywhere.

Gongsun Zan also listened to Guan Jing's suggestion, wrote to Liu Yu urgently, and begged Liu Yu to come forward, make peace with Li Hongyan, and leave a way back for Youzhou.

Liu Yu replied that I had severed contact with Li Hong. Even if I hadn't cut off contact with him, I wouldn't have pleaded with Li Hong in a low voice for your arrogance and lawlessness.

I don't care about the grievances between you and Li Hong. As long as you don't bring the war to Youzhou, you can do whatever you want, and I can't control you anyway.

Gongsun Chan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and there was nothing he could do. In desperation, he had no choice but to write a letter to Li Hong, hoping that Li Hong could remember the friendship in the past, shake hands between the two sides, and give up Bohai County to Youzhou.

This letter sank into the sea, and there was no response. Tian Kai and Liu Bei did everything possible to dissuade Gongsun Zhan from being stubborn, and it was better to preserve his strength and take the initiative to give up Bohai County.

The two suggested that Gongsun Chan take the army to Qingzhou. Tian Kai said that the relationship between Lord Liu Yu and Li Hong is known to the world.

When you go back to Youzhou, you are either killed by Lord Liu Yu under the pretext, or you are pursued by Li Hong, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in Youzhou.

Youzhou is the foundation of Gongsun Zhan, it is his homeland, let him leave his roots, leave his homeland, admit his failure, cross the river to a completely unfamiliar place to survive and develop, he is difficult to accept for a while.

Gongsun Chan resolutely refused. However, he listened to Guan Jing's advice, and still followed the strategy offered by Liu Bei in the past, and let Tian Kai and Liu Bei lead the army south to Qingzhou.

In the future, if Li Hong wants to fight Youzhou, Tian Kai and Liu Bei can send troops to Jizhou, so as to effectively contain Li Hong's army.

At this time, Qingzhou was already in chaos. The entire territory of Jinan was lost, and the captain Zou Jing and the king of Jinan Liu Yun were killed successively.

The four northern counties of Qingzhou were still under the control of Tian Kai and Liu Bei except for Pingyuan County, and the other three places of Le'an, Qi and Jinan had been lost.

In May, Tian Kai and Liu Bei were ordered by Gongsun Zan to hurriedly lead their army south to Qingzhou, and fought fiercely with Guan Cheng and Guan Hai, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, in Jinan and Qi.

This dozen is more than two months. When the Northern Xinjiang Army stormed Nanpi, Tian Kai and Liu Bei were fighting in the area of Qi and Beihai, and the two of them held Gongsun Zhan's letter of request for help.

Zhang Yan and Liyi personally rushed to the city to supervise the battle. Before the start of the war, Li Hong had invited them to the Xindu City of Anping State and analyzed the current situation in detail.

In the end, it boils down to one sentence, at any cost, occupy the entire territory of Jizhou as soon as possible. The two were very anxious, especially Zhang Yan, who couldn't wait to take Nanpi in one day and lead the army to attack north.

In the past two months, the Northern Xinjiang Army has made a lot of preparations for the siege of the city, arranging 50 stone-throwing vehicles alone, and all the ballistae have been concentrated under the city, trying to fall in one fell swoop.

After five days of fierce fighting between the two sides, Wen Chou took the lead in commanding the army to conquer Nancheng. Gongsun Chan led the army to retreat. At the same time, Yang Feng and Zhao Yun led the army to conquer Hejian County Zhilecheng.

The army then crossed the Hutuo River and marched in tandem with the armies of Zhang Yan and Ko Yi, advancing northward at the same time.

In mid-June, Gongsun Chan retreated across the Zhangshui River and crossed the ferry. Gongsun Fan's 5,000 reinforcements arrived in time.

As early as May, Gongsun Fan was ordered to return to Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other places in Youzhou to raise troops and horses, and prepare to go south to support Gongsun Zhan.

At this time, Zhang Yan and Lu Yi also led their troops to the south bank of the Zhangshui River. The two sides set up the battlefield in the dragon and then decided the winner.

Jizhou, Anping State, Xindu City. In mid-June, Xu Rong's letter was delivered to Jizhou. Everything in Guanzhong is decided, but there are many hidden worries, and it is impossible to estimate whether it can maintain sustained stability.

Although Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were in charge of state affairs together, neither of them had an army, and it was Li Dao and other Xiliang generals who really held the authority.

If the gate lords in the Guanzhong region intend to kill Li Dao and other Xiliang generals, the war in Guanzhong will continue. However, Li Dao and other Xiliang generals were very smart, and at this critical moment, they introduced the forces of Xiliang Han Sui and Ma Teng into Guanzhong.

With the Xiliang army as support and deterrence, Guanzhong can still stabilize for the time being. But this kind of stability will not last long, are we taking advantage of the opportunity of the next turmoil in Guanzhong to rescue the Son of Heaven in a timely manner, and ask the general to make it clear.

If the general intends to be the king and take advantage of the unpredictable situation in Guanzhong to rescue the Son of Heaven, we cannot give up Kansai at present, and we must readjust the strategy of Kansai.

Xu Rong then stated a number of reasons for continuing to occupy Kansai. The first reason is simple. At present, the situation in Guanzhong is changeable, and Li Dao and others are unable to take care of Kansai, let alone attack and fight in the east.

Considering the security of Guanzhong and Hedong, it is better for the Northern Xinjiang Army to occupy Guanxi and take the initiative. The second reason is complicated, and Xu Rong made some explanations.

After Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang, he chose the most conducive method for quickly stabilizing the Kanto, that is, to shake hands with Yuan Shu and make peace.

Our previous estimates were too optimistic and confident, believing that Yuan Shu could completely control Yuzhou with our help and compete with Yuan Shao for a long time.

But at present, it seems that our judgment is wrong, and we underestimate Yuan Shao's strength. Yuan Shu was in danger under the front and back attacks of Yuan Tan and Liu Biao, and he was unable to take care of Luoyang at all.

As a result, Yuan Shao took the Kanto region very easily without much effort. Yuan Shu's defeat was not in his ability, nor in his force, but in his grasp of the timing.

If he could have quickly sent troops south to occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou after Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, why would there be the disaster of Sun Jian's defeat the day before yesterday, the danger of being trapped in Yingchuan today, and the disaster of Nanyang tomorrow?

It doesn't make sense to say that anymore. Yuan Shu made a wrong step, a wrong step, so that he lost all the games, and at the same time caught us off guard and was very passive.

After Yuan Shao stabilized the Kanto, the next target was obviously to get rid of Yuan Shu. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and it is impossible for one gate valve to have two family heads.

Yuan Shao couldn't kill Yuan Shu and leave a reputation for fratricide, he could only find a way to drive Yuan Shu away, so as to completely control Jing and Henan.

With these two states as the foundation, especially with the three counties of Nanyang, Yingchuan and Runan, which are all over the famous family of the Han Dynasty, the rapid development of Yuan Shao's power is probably not something we can imagine.

In the past, Emperor Guangwu relied on the rich men of Nanyang, Yingchuan and other places, and relied on the rich land of Jizhou in Hebei to prosper the Han Dynasty.

Today, Yuan Shao not only has the support of the wealthy people of Nanyang, Yingchuan, Runan and Guandong, but also has the three rich places of Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Kanto.

Now it seems that there is a truth to this. On the other hand, the foundation of the Great General, Zhongxing Han, is much worse.

Although the general currently has the rich land of Jizhou, he also has a huge drag from the barrenness of northern Xinjiang.

Bingzhou, Youzhou, and the desert, these three places have vast territories, the people are poor, and a large part of Jizhou's wealth will be filled into this bottomless pit in the future.

In the past, the Han Dynasty maintained the frontier with the power of a country, with little effect, and now the general maintains the survival of the frontier with the power of a state, which is very difficult, which can be imagined.

Now whether it is a person of insight in the world, or the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, they all know that the person who can really revive the Han Dynasty is not a strong general, but Yuan Shao.

This will lead to many factors that are unfavorable to the general, but at present, the most unfavorable thing for the great army is that the Son of Heaven gave the official position to the general and granted the general the authority to supervise the six states and four counties.

The general respects the Son of Heaven and is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven worships the general as the Great Sima and the Great General, and participates in the Shangshu affairs.

The general was a very popular minister and had the responsibility of saving and stabilizing the society, and the general's first opponents were Yuan Shao, who refused to honor the Son of Heaven, and the state and county officials who followed Yuan Shao.

Originally, the general could rest and recuperate for a few years according to the land of Hebei, because not many people in the world know the general's ambition and ambition, and more people think that the general has the intention of separating the territory and hegemony, and has no ambition to plot the world.

But not now, now the Son of Heaven and the imperial court have pushed the generals to the front, and even if the generals don't attack the rebels, the rebels will be impatient to attack you.

Once the general defeats them in the future, half the world will be the general, just ask at this time, who will be naïve to think that the general has not overturned the heart of the society?

Think that the general is going to rejuvenate the Han wholeheartedly? Except for our most loyal subordinates, no one believes that you are not a thief.

Since the general may become a thief, how can Yuan Shao and all the people in the world who think that they bear the responsibility of saving the society let you develop, make you strong, and let you sweep away the "blocked words"?

Lord Zhu Jun said that Jizhou is in danger, but I think it is not Jizhou that is in danger, but the Han Dynasty is in danger. We, the subordinates who are loyal to you, all think that the great general can prosper the great man and save the society, and we do not want to see the great general fall.

Our revitalization strategy is the Hebei strategy, but now it seems that it must be appropriately revised. The point of the revision is that the Northern Frontier Army must firmly occupy Guanxi, and if we occupy Guanxi, we will be able to deter Guanzhong from both Hedong and Guanxi directions, ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time threaten Guandong and coerce Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao and other prefectures and counties attack Jizhou, we will attack from the west of the Kanto to the east of the country. If Yuan Shao fights Guanxi and Guanzhong, we will go south from the direction of Jizhou and attack Hanoi and Yanzhou, which will also threaten Kanto.

In this way, the two sides clamped each other down, and the Great General and Northern Xinjiang could get enough time to develop.

After Li Hong finished Xu Rong's letter, his mood was extremely heavy. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then put aside the battlefield news on the desk and read Xu Rong's letter carefully again with full attention.

At this moment, the battle situation in Jizhou is insignificant compared to the situation in the world. Xian Yufu and Li Wei came to write.

In the letter, the two expressed their concerns about the future development of the situation in northern Xinjiang and Jizhou. At the same time, they also mentioned several issues worthy of attention, and implored Li Hong to treat them carefully.

The first is the problem of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Yuan Shao strongly supported Cao Cao as the successor of Yanzhou and still firmly controlled Yanzhou.

Once the Kwantung region was stabilized, Yuan Shao not only wanted to drive Yuan Shu away, but also gave Cao Cao strong support to help him defeat the Yellow Turban Army in order to quickly stabilize Yanzhou.

Judging from the current situation, the situation of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is becoming more and more difficult. Qingzhou has Tian Kai, Liu Bei, Kong Rong, Xuzhou has Tao Qian, Yanzhou has Cao Cao, Wu Zi, Zhang Miao.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was surrounded in some counties south of Mount Tai and the Yellow River, and its range of activities became smaller and smaller.

Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans won several victories in April and May, the prospects were very bad.

If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is defeated, their only way to escape is Jizhou. The number of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who fled and the displaced people who were coerced by the Yellow Turban Army were very large, which would have a great impact on Jizhou.

The second is the problem of Yanzhou Thorn Shi Jinshang. The Son of Heaven first very generously let Li Hong supervise the military administration of the six prefectures and four counties, and then ordered the Northern Xinjiang Army to undertake the heavy task of countering the rebellion, and then asked the Northern Xinjiang Army to escort Jin Shang to Yanzhou to take office.

The purpose of the imperial court was obvious, that is, to intensify the contradictions between the general and Yuan Shao, between the general and the officials of various prefectures and counties, so as to provoke a war on both sides of the Yellow River.

Jin Shang, escorted by the Northern Xinjiang Army, crossed the river to the south, and Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army must send troops to stop it, and a major battle broke out between the two sides.

Once this battle is fought, it is likely to turn into a big war against the generals, and Jizhou is very likely to be besieged by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai, Liu Bei, Zhang Miao, Zhang Yang and other state and county officials.

If the general refuses to escort Jin Shang to Yanzhou, Jin Shang will also go alone. He has the decree of the Son of Heaven, how dare he not go?

As soon as Jin Shang died, the general offended the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. However, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others can still use this as an excuse to join forces to attack Jizhou.

Jizhou first had the disaster of the Yellow Turban Army and the displaced people fleeing north, and then there was the disaster of the joint siege of various prefectures and counties, and the situation was precarious, and it was very likely to collapse instantly.

The poison of this plan makes people shudder. This leads to the third question, who is the author of this plan to trap and kill the general?

If this plan came from the hands of Huangfu Song and the ministers of the court, then they would definitely contact Yuan Shao in the Kwantung region and launch another mutiny in Chang'an, killing Li Dao and other Western Liang generals, and the fate of the Son of Heaven can be imagined.

Yuan Shao currently occupies Luoyang and has the prestige and strength of the Zhongxing Han, but he does not respect the son of today.

In this case, what choice will the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government make? Obviously, they will let Li Dao bear the charge of killing the monarch, and let Yuan Shao take the responsibility of saving the society and rebuilding the imperial system.

Maybe Huangfu Song's original intention was just to kill Li Dao and other ** braids and protect the Son of Heaven, but what do the ministers of the Kwantung and Guanzhong Gates in the DPRK think?

After so many years of ups and downs, especially the two recent mutinies in Chang'an, many ministers' minds may have changed.

They may think that Yuan Shao is right, and Yuan Shao's method is the best way to save the society quickly. If Yuan Shao rebuilt the imperial system and rebuilt the imperial court in Luoyang, it would be a disaster for the general and the northern Xinjiang, a huge disaster.

If this plan comes from the hands of Li Dao and other Xiliang generals, then the situation will be better for northern Xinjiang. At most, Li Dao and the others took advantage of the fire to rob and harass Hedong.

But I agreed with Lord Xianyu that this plan should be made by Huangfu Song and some ministers in the court.

Xian Yufu and Li Wei's suggestion was that in order to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, Kansai must garrison troops. Once there is another mutiny in Chang'an, the Northern Xinjiang Army can rush into Chang'an and rescue the Son of Heaven back to Northern Xinjiang.

This suggestion coincides with Xu Rong's intentions. However, Kansai is between Kanto and Kanchu, and if you want to garrison and secure Kansai, you must have enough troops.

The number of troops should not be less than the current 30,000, and at the same time, 10,000 Tuntian soldiers must be requisitioned to garrison Hedong.

In this way, together with the Ural Mountain Iron Cavalry, which has been requisitioned and stationed in the desert, the northern Xinjiang will have to increase its troops by 20,000. With a large number of garrisons in Hedong and Guanxi, the army in the direction of Jizhou cannot be increased, so it can only recruit and surrender troops to maintain the current scale of 90,000 troops.

If the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army goes north soon, and the combined forces of various states and counties launch a siege on Jizhou, will the 90,000-strong army be able to ensure the safety of Jizhou?

Not only can Jizhou not be lost, but also the enemy must not be allowed to set foot in Jizhou to wreak havoc. Now the grain in every acre of land in Jizhou is as precious as gold, and the enemy cannot be wasted and snatched away.

I want to protect Jizhou, and I want to let the displaced people in Jizhou live. Li Hong replied to Xian Yufu, Xu Rong, and Li Wei, agreeing with the analysis and suggestions of the three, asking for everything, and attaching many ideas about his intention to clean up and rectify the land issue in Jizhou.

In mid-June, Jinyang, Longshan, Hussar General's Mansion. Xian Yufu and Li Wei received Li Hong's reply, and they were very happy to see that Li Hong agreed with their proposal.

If King Qin succeeds, he will take the Son of Heaven to Jinyang and rebuild the imperial court, which will not only suppress Yuan Shao fiercely, but also be extremely beneficial to saving Sheji.

However, after reading Li Hong's plan to vigorously rectify the issue of land annexation in Jizhou, their faces became more ugly.

The two stared at each other with big eyes, looking extremely nervous.

"The general is in too much of a hurry. Jizhou is not the northern Xinjiang, and the gate valve rich in Jizhou and the gate valve rich in the north are not the same thing. If the general's method is announced and forcibly implemented, Jizhou will immediately be in chaos. Li Wei put the letter in his hand on the desk, worried,

"Lord Xianyu, I will personally go to Jizhou and persuade the general in person, this method is too urgent, and it will anger the rich men of Jizhou."

"I'd better go." Fresh in the auxiliary hand,

"Xiaolan is about to give birth, you can't go. The political affairs of Northern Xinjiang are more important than the military affairs, and it is better for you to stay and preside over the overall situation. ”

"You can't go." Li Wei shook his hand again and again,

"Now there are wars in the desert, Kansai, and Jizhou, and the grain and grass are all arranged by you alone, and adults must not leave Jinyang." Xian Yufu hesitated,

"So be it. I immediately went to Jinyang City and discussed with Elder Zhao. Li Wei returned to the military tent worriedly.

Xiao Lan had a big belly, and she was very comfortably reclining on the couch, flipping through the scrolls.

"What's wrong with you, sullen?" Xiao Lan put down the scroll and asked with a smile,

"Something happened in Guanzhong again?"

"It's not Guanzhong, it's Jizhou." Li Wei sat down beside Xiao Lan, held her little hand, and said cautiously,

"I want to go to Jizhou, I don't know ......" Xiao Lan smiled stiffly, and asked very surprised: "At this time, you go to Jizhou?" Did something happen to the general? The stability of the northern frontier is the top priority for the general. ”

"The general is pressing the displaced people in Jizhou, and he wants to set off a bigger storm of land grabbing in Jizhou just like he did in Xiliang in the past."

"Grabbing the ground?" Xiao Lan held Li Wei's big hand hard,

"How is the general going to grab the land? Killing? ”

"It's about killing someone." Li Wei smiled bitterly and explained to Xiao Lan. In order to let the displaced people have land to plant, the general planned to clean up the land in Jizhou.

In order to prevent land annexation, the imperial court revised the Great Han Law several times. According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, there is a maximum limit on the amount of land owned by people with different statuses and different officials.

If this limit is exceeded, it will be re-imposed. If you do not truthfully report the amount of land you own, or simply conceal it, do not report it, underreport it, and evade and repay, it is a violation of the law and must be punished according to the law.

If the punishment is light, the land exceeding the limit will be confiscated and the fine will be several times the heavier tax: if the crime is severe, the property will be confiscated; If it's heavier, you'll be killed.

In the past few decades, the problem of land annexation has been very serious, and in order to avoid heavy taxes, the wealthy men have concealed and failed to report the amount of land that exceeds the quota, resulting in a decrease in the amount of taxes paid by the imperial court.

In order to increase tax revenue, the imperial court changed and changed this land limit. The imperial court hopes that the rich men of the gate lords from all over the country will give some face, so that they can pay a little to the treasury, and the court will also spend money, but the rich men of the gate lords will not give the court face at all.

The more the court changed, the less taxes were paid, and the court was so frightened that it did not dare to change it again. Jizhou has many magnates, many gates, many tycoons, and many lands, and land annexation is rampant, and the number of displaced people ranks the highest among all states.

The reason why Zhang Jiao chose to lead the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou was because Jizhou had the largest number of displaced people and had a considerable base of displaced people.

In the early years, the Yellow Turban Army was the most seriously annexed and the most displaced people.

For example, the same is true for Yingchuan and Nanyang counties. The general now has to settle the old accounts and the new ones. In all the prefectures of Jizhou, the number of land reported by the wealthy people of each county is reported by themselves, and the government pays taxes according to the amount of land.

The general planned to send people to take this original document and go to the counties and counties to clear the land. You say that your family only has 100 acres of land, then well, you take your family's 100 acres of land, and the rest is terra nullius, and the terra nullius belongs to the court.

You said that the family has bought new land in the past few years, so it's okay, you take out the title deed, which year you bought it, how much you should pay and make up for it immediately.

Otherwise, not only will the land be confiscated, the property will be confiscated, and even the people will be arrested. Those who are willing to pay back taxes must also be punished according to the law, otherwise, the land will be confiscated and the property will be confiscated.

Of course, people don't catch it. If the land in the family exceeds the limit, not only will the tax be paid, the tax will be fined, and the excess land will be confiscated.

In short, the general holds the Great Han Law in one hand and the original credentials in the other, and whoever is caught is unlucky. In that place in Jizhou, as long as the family has land, it has become an unwritten rule to hide the true amount of land.

In fact, even if you want to report the real data, the government will not let you report it. You have paid all the taxes to the national treasury, and he, the person in charge, is going to eat fart.

Therefore, the general's arrest, Jizhou will be completely chaotic, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem of the overall paralysis of the government at that time, but even the guards who watch the city gate will be gone.

If you have a field at home, just wait for bad luck. Xiao Lan has presided over political affairs in northern Xinjiang for many years, and she is clear about this matter.

However, northern Xinjiang is not like Jizhou. Northern Xinjiang is poor, the Hu people invade frequently, and the people have run out, relatively speaking, there is still a lot of land, otherwise where would there be a lot of barren land to distribute to the displaced people?

There are few people in northern Xinjiang, and there are few gate valve tycoons, although these gate valve tycoons have a lot of land, they can't find a human race. Even if it is planted, the harvest cannot be compared with the fertile land of Jizhou.

Therefore, in the sixteen counties of northern Xinjiang, except for Hedong, the issue of land annexation in other places is still within the scope of people's tolerance.

Hedong was originally an important part of Gyeonggi and was the hardest hit area by land annexation, but the hardest hit area of land annexation was in the southeastern part of Hedong.

The population living in the Fenhe area in the northeastern part of the river was affected by the invasion of the Hu people, and many of them fled, and the fields were deserted.

The wealthy men in Hedong mainly made their fortunes by selling salt and iron, and they generally did not buy land locally, but in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and other places where the land was fertile, and the harvest per mu of land in these places was much higher than that in Hedong.

Therefore, although the problem of land annexation in the southeast of the river is serious, the people can support themselves with land rent.

To put it bluntly, the wealthy men in Hedong are too rich to disdain to force these people who rent land to abandon their land and become homeless refugees.

After listening to Li Wei's words, Xiao Lan frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What the general decides, can you convince him?" ”

"But this matter can't be done like this, this fire will burn down, Jizhou will be in chaos, then it is better not to fight Jizhou." Li Wei said angrily,

"Jizhou is in turmoil, who died in the end? Aren't they still those poor outcasts? The general does bad things with good intentions, and he will regret it for the rest of his life. I have to go to Jizhou in person. Xiao Lan thought for a while, suddenly put it on Li Wei's cheek, and whispered with a smile: "The two wives of the general miss the general very much, and Sister Fengxue has lost a lot of weight recently. And our eldest princess, it seems that she can't give up, and she has no intention of returning to Chang'an, but thinks a few times, I want to go to Jizhou, you see this matter, ......" Li Wei suddenly realized, and praised repeatedly: "Or Mrs. is thoughtful, I will go to Longquan." "Jinyang, Longquan, the eldest princess's mansion.

Zhang Wen's illness is just right, his body has not recovered, and his complexion is very poor. Lu Zhi lay down completely, his eye sockets were deep-set, and he was haggard.

Ding Gong, Cai Yong and others sat on the couch with Li Wei and listened to Li Wei's story quietly. With the stability of Guanzhong, the successive letters from the Son of Heaven and Huangfu Song, the hearts of the eldest princess and the old ministers were also relaxed.

However, the Son of Heaven was subject to the rebellion of Li Dao and other Western Liang, Yuan Shao occupied the Kanto, and the situation of the Han Dynasty was getting worse day by day, but the old ministers couldn't sleep at night, sighing all day long, not knowing what to do.

"The General must be stopped immediately." Li Wei looked at the old ministers and said,

"The issue of land annexation in Jizhou does need to be managed, and today's opportunity is indeed good, but the general's method is too impatient. All of you are masters of this dynasty, so you naturally know that this matter is directly related to the revitalization of the society and needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"What Zhong Yuan means is that he wants the eldest princess to come to Jizhou in person?" Zhang Wen said in a low voice,

"The eldest princess is no longer in charge of state affairs now, and she is only as an eldest princess, so she may not be able to make those rich people in Jizhou obey her words."

"The general is in a difficult situation right now, and the pressure is very high. The eldest princess's words, he may not be able to listen to them. Cai Yong sighed,

"In addition, the prestige of the eldest princess is limited, and it is indeed a bit too difficult for the eldest princess to rely on her identity to suppress and win the trust of the rich men of Jizhou."

"I remember that the first emperor once had a large number of fields and mansions in the river...... Li Wei said with great embarrassment,

"What if...... If...... This ......"

"Zhong Yuan......" Lu Zhi raised his thin hand, pointed at Li Wei and smiled bitterly,

"Your idea is tantamount to pushing the general into the fire pit. In the future, if the Son of Heaven blames him......"

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is Lord Huangfu Song and Lord Zhu Jun who are now presiding over the government in Chang'an." Li Wei said respectfully,

"If you can persuade the eldest princess to write to the Son of Heaven, and then you will jointly write to Emperor Fu Song and Zhu Jun, this matter will basically be done."

The Son of Heaven took the initiative to donate the royal property and mansion, and the eldest princess personally went to Jizhou to appease the displaced people. This kind of momentum is unique in the history of our dynasty. Li Wei's face turned cold, and he waved his hand and said,

"In this case, if the gate valve tycoons in Jizhou still insist on refusing to donate, then it is understandable that the general selectively arrests and punishes a group of gate valve tycoons."

"Okay." Zhang Wen nodded and said,

"I will immediately tell the eldest princess about this matter. In addition, get ready to drive, we will leave for Jizhou tomorrow. Li Wei was moved and bowed down.

"Gongwei (Zhu Jun) is blessed to have you as a son-in-law." Lu Zhi waved at him and motioned for him to stand up,

"You go and ask Boss Zhao Qi, if he is willing to go to Jizhou, he can go with us." Li Wei was stunned,

"My lord, you are so sick, how can you go all the way to Jizhou?"

"I can't lie here and wait to die, I can still do something for Dahan, I want to go to Jizhou. Lu Zhi closed his eyes and cut it out word by word. Li Wei's heart was sour, and tears blurred his eyes in an instant. At the end of June, Handan, the hussar general marched. After Li Hong entrusted the Longcuo war to Zhang Yan and Lu Yi, he hurriedly returned from Anping Kingdom. Li Hong saw Zheng Yan and Ding Li coming to greet him, and hurriedly asked, "How are the elders?" Haven't negotiated a result yet? Zheng Yan shook his head and persuaded in a low voice: "General, the opinions of several elders are very pertinent, and our approach is indeed a bit ......."

"Something?" Li Hong asked unhappily.

"It's a bit of an overkill." Ding Li said loudly without fear,

"The general must face up to reality and not do whatever he wants. Decades, or even hundreds of years, of old diseases cannot be cured in a day. ”

"Didn't you see the dead bodies on the road?" Li Hong pointed out of the line and said sharply,

"If I don't dig up the pus that has been raised for decades, or even hundreds of years, these people will die. I am acting according to the law of the Great Han, what's wrong? Am I also called it a harsh punishment? ”

"Zhong Yuan disagrees, Yu Xing disagrees, you don't agree, the top and bottom don't agree, but do you know how many people agree with me to do this?" Li Hong shook his long hair violently and said angrily,

Zilie agreed, Feiyan agreed, several generals in Northern Xinjiang agreed, and these displaced people all over Jizhou, they also agreed. I decided to immediately start clearing the land in Jizhou, starting with Wei County, Ganling Kingdom, and Anping Kingdom. Zheng Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.

Ding Li shook his head and said helplessly: "General, if you do this, the government offices up and down Jizhou will be paralyzed immediately." Of the thousands of officials in Jizhou, how many of them have nothing to do with the rich men of the gate valve family? General ......" Li Hong waved his hand angrily and strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

Ma Riyan, Cui Lie, Yuan Peng, Chen Ji, Huang Yue, Ma Feng and others were helpless about Li Hong's stubbornness.

"General, the eldest princess will be in Jizhou soon, you can't wait any longer?" Cui Lie almost pleaded,

"You can't rush anything. Sometimes, it is necessary to make some modest sacrifices. These outcasts would have died more if they hadn't had a great general......"

"I can't wait any longer, I don't have time, I'm only three months away from autumn planting in October." Li Hong shook his head and said,

"By the end of September, I need to ensure that at least half of the displaced people have land to farm, otherwise, the situation in Jizhou will be out of control."

"General, the rich men of Bohai County and Hejian Kingdom have just been ransacked by Gongsun Zhan, and now you are robbing their land, isn't this forcing them to their death?" Ma Riyan said angrily,

"General, if you are in a hurry, you will cause trouble, things must be done slowly, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time."

"If it weren't for these people who forced the people to death, how could they have today's disaster." Li Hong sneered,

"You deserve to die." Then he looked up at Ma Riyan and took out a letter from his bosom,

"Master Taifu is here, and he hopes that the old man will go to Youzhou." Ma Riyan took the letter suspiciously,

"Gongsun Chan is still in Longcao?"

"It's still there." Li Hong said,

"After receiving the letter from Master Taifu, I asked Zhang Yan and Ko Yi to stop attacking."

"The general agrees to make peace?" Yuan Peng asked.

"Master Taifu must have meant this, otherwise, he wouldn't have written to me." Li Hong smiled bitterly,

"I don't want to fight either, it's best if I don't. I don't want to see the war spread to Youzhou. After reading the letter, Ma Riyan said to Yuan Peng: "You go with me." I'll leave this matter to Lady Cui. Cui Lie nodded, then glared at Li Hong and asked, "The general stopped the war at this time, did he want to send troops to various places to clear the land?" Li Hong was silent.

Cui Lie sighed, picked up a book from the desk and handed it to Li Hong,

"Forget it, whatever you want. This is the first batch of lists, grab the big ones first, the results are remarkable, you can immediately take 1/2 | jump to
