Chapter 5 is like a bamboo, the ninth section of May, Jizhou. The eldest princess returned to the Jiedu Pavilion in the Hejian Kingdom, worshiped the ancestors, and repaired the temple.

The great general Li Hong took this opportunity to take the two ladies around the Jiedu Pavilion and its surrounding area.

Recently, while accompanying the eldest princess to the north, Li Hong convened the low-level officials of the townships, li, and pavilions to discuss the implementation of the new system and solicit their views on the new system.

In his spare time, he also took his two wives to wander in the fields and check the people's conditions. Seeing the busy figures of the people and the satisfied smiles on their faces, Li Hong was very pleased.

Although the life of the people is still very hard, he believes that as long as the stability of Hebei can be ensured, these kind people will soon live a prosperous and happy life.

During the inspection, Li Hong heard the most complaints from the people in Tuntian District. The focus of the conflict is the issue of land ownership.

The people of Tuntian District rented the land of the imperial court and rented the agricultural materials of the imperial court. After a year of hard work, they had not much left except for paying the land tax and various taxes.

They want to invest more manpower and material resources in the land, hoping to get more harvests to improve their lives, but they don't know how long the tuntian policy will last, whether they can continue to rent this land after the tuntian policy is canceled, and whether this land will soon become private land from the land of the imperial court, so the enthusiasm of the people to tuntian is not high.

They see no hope and no future, and can only live one day at a time, and dissatisfaction and complaints arise spontaneously. When Li Hong was in Tuntian, northern Xinjiang, he discussed this problem with many officials in northern Xinjiang, but because there was no precedent for reference and there was not enough time for discussion, he never found a proper solution.

Tuntian is an emergency policy and cannot be implemented as a long-term national policy. Whether it is Juntun or Mintun, behind it are the financial and material resources of the imperial court, and the military and people of Tuntian only need to contribute.

Therefore, after these people were busy for a year, they paid a lot of taxes to the imperial court, and over time, these Tuntian soldiers and civilians were naturally very dissatisfied.

Therefore, it is impossible for this tuntian policy to be implemented indefinitely, and once the country is stabilized, the tuntian policy will be canceled immediately.

Especially in Juntun, the Tuntian soldiers have taken on a lot of heavy responsibilities, and after a year of hard work, they just have a full stomach.

It's an idiot, he has complaints after a long time, and he will run away, so the military tun is purely an emergency, and the border army has to rely on the regular border army to serve as the soldier.

Sooner or later, the policy of tuntian will have to be abolished, and the problem of land ownership will have to be solved sooner or later. Is the ownership of the land given to the court or to the people?

If the ownership of the land belongs to the imperial court, then the people of Tuntian will continue to rent the land. If the ownership of the land is given to the people, then the land must be sold to the people of Tuntian.

From the perspective of social stability, it is a top priority to put an end to land annexation and ensure that the cultivators have their own land.

In other words, the ownership of the land should best belong to the imperial court, so that the people of Tuntian can continue to rent the land. So, what can be done to ensure that the people have the right to lease the land in perpetuity?

If there is no long-term lease right to secure it, the people will not have the enthusiasm to cultivate the land. They will abandon their land and become displaced people again under certain special circumstances.

For this reason, Li Hong and the officials of the three prefectures, Zhang Fan, Sima Zhi, Sima Lang, Tian Chou, Wei Kai, Yuan Lian, Chen Qun, and others, who accompanied him on the inspection, often discussed and often stayed up all night.

Li Hong also wrote several letters to Zhang Wen and other ministers, begging the elders to come up with a strategy for the restructuring of Shidi as soon as possible.

Tuntian is only for the purpose of resettling the displaced people and solving the problem of feeding the displaced people, but it cannot solve the problem of social stability and the people living and working in peace and contentment.

When the homeless people have enough to eat, they will want a house to shelter from the wind and rain, and if they have a house, they will want to marry and have children.

Therefore, if we can't solve the fundamental problem of land as soon as possible, it will be difficult for ZTE to achieve it. Zhang Yan and Li Hong have a close relationship, and they write a letter every three days, which is very punctual.

At present, in addition to the Youzhou battlefield, the most fierce battles are the Kansai battlefield and Qingzhou Plain County. At the end of April, Yuan Shao personally rushed to Guanxi to supervise the formation, and the Northern Xinjiang Army once lost the two cities of Xin'an and Mianchi.

Long Xiang's general Xu Rong had close contacts with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and urgently transferred Yang Feng to support. The two sides fought a battle at Shaancheng in mid-May, but Yuan Shao was defeated and retreated to Hangu Pass.

Wang Dang relied on the natural danger of the Yellow River and defeated Tian Kai and Liu Bei's river-crossing attacks several times. In early May, Liu Bei successfully crossed the river, and the two sides fought in Pingyuan City, and the situation was very critical for a time.

Later, Gao Ran was ordered to lead an army to support, and Chen soldiers were desecrated in Dahe, threatening Gao Tang City, forcing Liu Bei to withdraw his army and return.

The Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro defeated Zhang Yang with the secret support of Zhang He, and the army once pointed directly at Chaoge City.

Later, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao appeared in Zhang Yang's army, and they divided their troops to attack, fiercely counterattacked, and defeated the Yellow Turban Army and fled.

Zhang Yan immediately ordered Zhang He to provide food and ordnance to the Yellow Turban Army to help the Yellow Turban Army hold Montenegro. Now the two sides are still fighting fiercely in the area of Lugut Mountain, and they have won and lost each other.

In early May, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Jinshang, Duwei Zhou Hua, and 2,000 Northern Xinjiang troops were besieged by Cao Cao in Chenliucheng.

Cao Cao hurriedly sent Mao Jue to Handan. It's not that I, Cao Cao, don't let Lord Jin Shang take office, but that none of the officials in Yanzhou's states and counties are willing to accept Jin Shang.

Please ask the general to immediately let the Northern Frontier Army return to Jizhou, and I will join forces with all of you to play Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to reappoint the Yanzhou Assassin History.

In addition, Cao Cao also made a small request, can the general return the eight counties on the north bank of the Yellow River in Dongjun to Lord Zang Hong, the Taishou of Dongjun?

Zhang Yan urgently summoned Zhou Hua to return to Dongwuyang with Jin Shang and 2,000 soldiers. Mao Jue stayed in Handan and actively campaigned, hoping that Hebei could return the eight counties of Dongjun to Yanzhou.

Zhang Yan was polite first, and after Jin Shang and Zhou Hua returned to Dongwuyang, he immediately sent someone to forcibly send Mao Jue across the Yellow River.

Zhang Yanshu told Cao Cao that the general supervised the six states and four counties, if he did not approve this matter, how could I dare to agree?

I am temporarily acting in these eight counties. Zhang Yan thought that Cao Cao would be furious and would lead the army to attack, who would have thought that Cao Cao would send Mao Jue to Handan again, and brought a lot of gifts, the most important of which was a letter from several gate lord families in Jizhou inviting Cao Cao and Zhang Miao to attack Jizhou.

Mao Jue told Zhang Yan with a smile that natural disasters have been repeated in Yanzhou in recent years, and there are many displaced people.

Many displaced people could not survive, so they had to cross the river to the north bank of the Yellow River, hoping that the river would give them a way out.

The eight counties of the eastern county and the displaced people who crossed the river to the north asked for the north. After Zhang Yan sent Mao Yu away, she was very puzzled, and hurriedly summoned Xun You, Li Wei, Zhu Mu and others to discuss, but everyone couldn't guess Cao Cao's intentions.

Zhang Yanshu told Li Hong that Yuan Shao was meeting us with swords and guns at this time, and Cao Cao, who was an ally of Yuan Shao, not only wrote to the Son of Heaven to express his respect, but also made eye contact with us, what did he want to do?

Do you want to fight against Yuan Shao? With his current strength and Yuan Shao, it seems that he is slightly insufficient. Zhang Yan didn't think too much about Yanzhou, but immediately attacked the Jizhou gate valve family, and he arrested the heads of the seven gate valve families in Jizhou overnight, including the former ruling Jin Wu Zhenju.

At the end of May, Li Hong suddenly received an urgent letter from Koji Yi. Taifu Liu Yu's injuries recurred and could pass away at any time.

Lord Taifu misses the general very much, and asks the general to travel day and night and hurry to Juyong Pass. Li Hong was shocked, hurriedly played the eldest princess, asked her to go north immediately, and took the black panther to follow and galloped towards Juyong Pass overnight.

June of the fourth year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (193 AD). On June, Juyong Pass. Li Hong knelt down in front of Liu Yu's couch, holding Liu Yu's thin hand, and was extremely sad.

Scenes from the past flashed through his mind, making him feel the place of this old man in his heart.

Like a father, he always took care of himself. Today, this old man is going to die, to leave himself.

Li Hong's heart was like a knife, and tears quietly blurred his eyes.

"My lord......" Liu Yu looked at Li Hong and laughed happily, he hoarsely voiced, and said with difficulty: "Zimin, I'm going to die, I'm very happy to see you before I die." ”

"My lord......" Li Hong choked up.

"It's a good thing for you that I'm dead, you can let go and do what you want." Liu Yu sighed,

"What do you think in your heart, I have a number, but you are too young and a martial artist, I don't feel at ease."

"Zhongxing needs strong force, and only you have the force of Zhongxing Han." Liu Yu clenched Li Hong's big hand hard, and tried to lift half of his body,

"I believe that you can revive the big man, and I also believe in your loyalty, but the road of ZTE is very difficult and very long, can you always be loyal to the big man?"

"My lord, I swear......" Liu Yu let out a long breath, lay down again satisfied, and said weakly: "I'm sorry for the first emperor, I'm sorry for him." I want to go west to the king, I want to revive the community, but I can't do it. I did my best, and when I arrived at Jiuquanxia, the first emperor should forgive me for my incompetence. ”

"People, I shouldn't hold on to the military and politics of Youzhou, and I shouldn't let Gongsun Zan lead the army south. People, you have to understand me, when people are old, they are afraid of death, and they will have all kinds of ideas. I'm the same, I have a small family, relatives and friends, and selfishness, but I hurt the big man, hurt you, and hurt Gongsun Zhan. Li Hong was saddened and bowed his head silently.

"Gongsun Zhan is a good man, he is upright, strong, jealous and hateful, he has defended the frontier for the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, has repelled the invasion of the Hu people dozens of times, quelled the rebellion of the Hu people, and has made outstanding achievements." Liu Yu turned his head to look at Li Hong and said very tentatively,

"You don't kill him, you promise me." Li Hong gritted his teeth and did not speak. At this time, he couldn't wait to dismantle Gongsun Zhan.

"Gongsun Chan is by no means a chaotic minister and thief with hidden evil intentions, let alone a ** deceitful villain, he is at best a brave and ruthless martial artist." Liu Yu said in a low voice,

"The contradiction between me and Gongsun Chan is not a personal grudge, you must make this clear."

"Gongsun Chan is most opposed to me appeasing Hu Ren, do you know why? He grew up in western Liaoxi and witnessed the Hu people invading our Han, ravaging our Han, and humiliating my Han. The Hu people burned, killed, looted, and did everything, he hated the Hu people, and there was a deep blood feud between him and the Hu people. The hatred that burned in his heart overshadowed his reason, so he objected to me appeasing the Hu people.

"This is where the conflict between us arises, and I understand him and have always been patient and restrained. Later, the situation changed, and I couldn't control him, so there was last year's Jizhou disaster, and this year's Youzhou disaster. But Gongsun Zhan's sin is not to death, and the reason why he has come to this point today has a lot to do with your encouragement. Li Hong's heart trembled secretly, and his face was ashamed.

Liu Yu sighed.

"You want to get Jizhou and Youzhou, but you don't want to hurt me, and you don't want to leave the notoriety of betraying the lord and usurping rebellion, so you took great pains to push Gongsun Chan step by step to death. I'm not wrong, am I? Liu Yu looked at Li Hong, with a wry smile on his face,

"Zimin, do you know why the Hu people in Youzhou are willing to accept my appeasement?"

"At that time, the first emperor repeatedly appeased Tanshi Huai, but Tanshi Huai categorically refused and still invaded again and again. The Huns are even worse than the Marquis of the Bone and the White Horse. They actually killed Da Shan Yu and openly rebelled, why? Because my Han lacks a strong general like Gongsun Zhan. It is precisely because of the white horse Gongsun Zan in Youzhou that the Hu people can't beat him and is afraid of being killed by him, so he is willing to be cared for and willing to belong to the Han Dynasty. ”

"I tolerated Gongsun Chan in every way, even though I was imprisoned by him and shot and wounded by him, but I still beg you not to kill him, the most fundamental reason is this." Liu Yu said excitedly,

"My Han does not have strong force, and there is no fierce general like Gongsun Zan to guard the border, how can the Hu people be willing to submit? Will you be cared for? Will you give up the invasion? As long as Gongsun Chan lives, the Hu people in Youzhou will be afraid, our frontier can be stabilized, and the people of the border counties can live a stable life. ”

"You killed Gongsun Zhan, who is the happiest? You? Youzhou soldiers? The people of Youzhou? No, you're not happy, it's the Hu people who are the happiest, and the Hu people will dance happily because of Gongsun Zhan's death. What about you? You will anger the soldiers and people of Youzhou by killing Gongsun Zhan, and you will lose more and more things. Liu Yu clenched Li Hong's big hand again, and said loudly with all his strength,

"People, promise me, don't kill Gongsun Zhan, I'm willing to exchange my life for Gongsun Zhan's head." Li Hong Huoran woke up and nodded again and again,

"I promise you, my lord, that I will immediately order Koji to stop attacking." Liu Yu smiled with relief and slowly closed his eyes,

"People, I'm gone, I'm gone......"

"My lord, my lord......" Li Hong was so grief-stricken that he hugged Liu Yu's arm and shouted miserably,

"Adult ......" in June, Liaoxi. After Gongsun Zan led his troops to withdraw to Youbeiping, he had just rested for a day when he received news that Zhao Yun led his troops to follow.

Zhao Yun has already arrived, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army is not far away. Gongsun Zhan immediately decided to withdraw to Liaoxi County to control the city.

Soon after the army left the city, the scout flew to report that Yan Rou of the Northern Xinjiang Army led about 10,000 iron horsemen from Liaoxi Badun, Liaodong Sufuyan, and Youbeiping Wuyan to go down the Weishui River, and successively occupied Feiru City and Lingzhi City, cutting off the retreat of the army.

Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing were shocked when they heard the news, and their hearts were like ashes. Koji has counted every step, and now there is no way out except to desperately break through.

If there is any further delay, once Zhao Yun's iron cavalry arrives, the army will be attacked before and after, and the whole army will definitely be annihilated.

"Order all the departments to kill the Lingzhi City as quickly as possible." Lingzhi City is located on the west bank of the Weishui River, one hundred and twenty miles away from the county seat of Beiping on the right.

When Gongsun Zhan led Bai Ma Yi to rush to the city, Yan Rou was already waiting outside the city on a single horse.

Gongsun Chan retreated left and right, and stepped forward,

"Ziyu, are you going to kill me with Karasuma?" Yan Rou looked at Gongsun Chan coldly, the muscles on his face twitched, and suddenly, he roared angrily: "Why did you kill Master Taifu? Why? Gongsun Chan was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "What did you say?" What's wrong with Master Taifu? When did I kill Master Taifu? ”

"You bastard......" Yan Rou raised his horsewhip and volleyed it down,

"You took the iron cavalry to shoot under the city of Changping, and you forgot?"

"I killed the Karasuma people, the Karasuma people." Gongsun Chan dodged from Yan Rou's horsewhip and shouted angrily,

"Liu He colluded with the Karasuma people to beat me, why can't I kill them? Are you going to let me stick my head out and cut him off? ”

"You know how to kill, kill, and as a result, you killed Master Taifu, you know?" Yan Rou was furious, her face flushed, and her horsewhip was waving

"Bang bang",

"How do you want me to let you go? You say, how can you let me let you live? ”

"I don't want you to let it go, I'll kill it myself......" Gongsun Chan gritted his teeth and looked up to the sky and yelled,

"I didn't kill Master Taifu, I didn't kill him."

"Can you rush through? Ah......" The city behind Yan Rou's fingers,

"There are 3,000 horsemen in this city, and 7,000 horsemen on the other side of the river, how can you kill them? Do you have wings to fly over? You are tied, and Brother Yu Xing and I (Xian Yufu) will protect your life. ”

"I didn't kill Master Taifu, I didn't kill him." Gongsun Chan was obviously too surprised by the sudden death of Taifu Liu Yu, and before he could react in his mind for a while, he ignored Yan Rou's words,

"Is Master Taifu dead? Is he dead? ”

"Come on, he won't survive this summer. It's all because of you, it's all because of you. Why are you fighting with the generals, and why? What do you want to get? Do you think you can beat the generals? You idiot. Yan Rou was furious, pointing at Gongsun Chan and scolding loudly,

"When I left Juyong Pass, do you know what Master Taifu said to me? He told me not to kill you, not to kill you, you know? He would rather trade his own life for yours. Although Master Taifu has always been very strict and disgusted with you, in his heart, you are a hero who resists Hu, a fierce general who guards the border, and the most loyal guard of my Han Dynasty. But what about you? What do you do with Master Taifu? You killed him, do you know what you did? You're murderous, you're crazy. Gongsun Chan sat on the horse, stunned, his handsome face suddenly showed deep regret, and his eyes were full of remorse.

"I killed Master Taifu." Yan Rou saw Gongsun Zhan's depressed appearance, her heart softened, and tears suddenly rushed to her eyes.

"Brother Bo Jue, you've killed enough, it's time to put down the knife."

"Think about back then, when our brothers were together, galloping across the desert and bloody fields, how enjoyable? Later, when the northern frontier was born and a leopard suddenly was killed, do you remember how excited we were at that time? You said that when you meet this leopard in the future, you must be a brother with him, and you must go north with him to kill Hu and conquer the desert together, but what about today? What did you do today? What have you done? What point is the general sorry for you, worthy of your enmity with him and fighting to the death with him? Gongsun Chan opened his arms violently, raised his head to the sky and roared,

"I'm going to kill Hu ......" Bai Ma seemed to feel the pain in Gongsun Zhan's heart, and suddenly raised his front hooves and hissed.

Gongsun Chan kicked the horse's belly violently and walked away. In June, Taifu Liu Yu passed away, and Youzhou mourned. The troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army were ordered to stop the attack and mourn for Taifu Liu Yu.

The eldest princess came to Juyongguan to attend the funeral. Many former officials of Liu Yu in northern Xinjiang rushed to Juyongguan from all over the country to give the funeral of the deceased.

In late June, Liu Yu's son Liu He, Changshi Wei You, Sima Sun Jin and other Youzhou officials went to various battlefields in Youzhou to persuade them to surrender.

Zou Dan, Shan Jing and dozens of other Youzhou military officials led their troops to surrender. The general Li Hong obeyed Liu Yu's last order and ordered all the Tuntian soldiers to return to the original Tuntian garrison, and some elite soldiers were stationed at the border garrison.

In July of the fourth year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (193 AD). In order to appease Gongsun Zhan, Li Hong was under great pressure.

The eldest princess, Liu He, Lu Yi and many military and political officials in northern Xinjiang were extremely indignant at Li Hong's move. Liu He quarreled with Li Hongda for this, holding Liu Yu's spirit number and crying.

The eldest princess was grief-stricken and returned to Handan angrily. Koji Yi was so angry that he wanted to split, and interrupted the case table in front of Li Hong with a punch,

"The brothers who fought the boundary bridge died in vain." At the same time, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Chou, Wei You, Wang Wei, Zou Dan and other military and political officials begged Li Hong to appease Gongsun Zhan, and many middle and lower-level officials in Youzhou and some Tuntian soldiers also rushed to the Jicheng camp to intercede for Gongsun Zhan.

Li Hong had made up his mind, and despite all the resistance, he led the Black Panther Yicong and the iron cavalry of all the troops to rush to the foot of the Tuyin City in Youbeiping.

After attending Liu Yu's funeral, Anbei General Xian Yufu did not return to Jinyang immediately, but came to Tuyin City with Li Hong.

In the big tent, Li Hong, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Xian Yuyin, Li Su and other Youzhou generals gathered together to discuss ways to appease Gongsun Zhan.

After Gongsun Chan returned to the mound, he closed the door and did not come out, and Yan Rou asked to enter the city several times to meet Gongsun Chan, but was refused.

"General, you give a condition, I will go to see Brother Bo in person." Xian Yufu pondered for a long time, and said,

"If Brother Bo Jue agrees to be appeased, Qingzhou will be at his fingertips, which will be very beneficial for us to quickly quell the rebellion in various parts of Henan."

"The only thing I can give to Brother Bo Jue now is sincerity." Li Hong said with a smile,

"We've been fighting for more than a year, and it will take time to rebuild trust in each other. Therefore, in the short term, I can't let him keep the army, nor can I let him command the Youzhou army, he can only temporarily preside over the military camp in Youzhou, and when the time is ripe, I will let him come out to lead the army. "Jump to
