Chapter 10: Eradication of Dissidents

This is going to war, right?

In the Yedu Imperial Court, when they saw the letters and war reports transmitted to the national capital from all over the country, the officials and ministers were worried...... No matter how you look at it, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not easy characters to deal with. Yuan Shao needless to say, when Yuan Shu raised troops to attack Liu Bei, he led the army to Xuzhou, occupied most of Xuzhou in an instant, and Yuan Shu was defeated and died of illness without even being defeated and returned to Shouchun.

In an instant, a big battle eliminated two princes in the south, and Yangzhou, which was once under Yuan Shu, also became ownerless. In the eyes of the minister, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao is obviously the most likely to seize Yangzhou, and his martial arts should not be underestimated. The year before last, LΓΌ Bu and his Yanzhou East County Taishou Chen Palace defected, and the huge rebellion was quelled with Cao Cao's return.

Last year, Cao Cao resisted the invasion of Yanzhou with tired troops Guo Gong, and led the troops to the south to conquer Guo Gong in the spring of this year, and included the southern part of Yuzhou in the blink of an eye, and the prestige of annexing the two states was unique in Henan for a while. At this time, Yuan Shao came out again to take Donglai, followed by the dove, occupied Liu Bei, Xuzhou, and drove Yuan Shu away, just like the lord of the two states.

In the north, the imperial court ministers obviously received more news of Yan's actions, and the good and bad ones came faster than from Henan. At the beginning of the frustration of the Duke and the town of Guanzhong, he showed the ability of the first feudal official under the Yanbei account, and took the opportunity of the leader in Yedu to break up the people of Montenegro and Baibo, and compile household registration to make them become new people in Guanzhong, and what is even more shocking is that the army of Montenegro and Baibo was also frustrated with Shatai, with the Black Mountain general to lead the White Bo army, to lead the Hun soldiers with the White Bo army, and to lead the Montenegrin army with the Hun chieftain, the leaders of the various departments have different orders, and take this opportunity to grasp the actual military power with the Jizhou people, and put aside the higher official positions of those leaders, although it seems to be benevolent and righteous, But the soldiers of Guanzhong are enough to make anyone feel afraid.

From Xingyang to Tongguan, there are thirty-seven captains' departments scattered for thousands of miles, and the entire army of 100,000 is doing the same thing...... Farming.

Even Yanbei, who was far away in Yedu, couldn't help but applaud when he saw the situation in Guanzhong reported by Frustration, and the first decree issued by Frustration was that no matter which army he came from, whoever cultivated 50 acres of land could produce 3 stones per mu, and his wife and children and family members could get 20 acres of land in Jizhou, and he could get 10 acres of land in Guanzhong.

Most of those captains and marquis had no intention of farming, but no one could stop the soldiers from wanting to farm, and in a blink of an eye, those who led the troops lost their desire to fight for power and profit...... He who has that heart, the soldiers do not follow him; If you want the soldiers to follow him, you have to take the soldiers to the field, but the soldiers still have to leave when they leave the field.

Entering a dead end, no one is indifferent to the fields at their fingertips. The yield of three stones per mu is only the average level of the field, and it may not reach such a standard this year, but at most next year, after the resumption of production of the land in Guanzhong, the fields with a good irrigated yield of four to five stones per mu abound...... In the early Han Dynasty, both sides of the strait were the private property of high-ranking officials and nobles, and there were fertile fields everywhere, and it was undoubtedly more difficult for ordinary people to have their own fields here than to become high-ranking officials and nobles.

Now this low-hanging fruit opportunity was pushed to them by Captain Si Li.

In the court, Yang Feng, Zhang Yan, and Liu Bao had different reactions to this matter. Yang Feng can take Liu Bao to the Great Sima Mansion and the palace eight times a day, hoping that Yan Bei's subordinates will show mercy, but Yang Feng has no other way if Yan Bei does not let go. Liu Bao is less anxious than Yang Feng, after all, he is a Hun at all, and the Xiongnu royal court is still standing in the west of Bingzhou, he doesn't want to worry too much about Yanbei because of this kind of thing, but it is just to let the Huns go to plough the land, and getting their own land is not necessarily a bad thing for the Huns.

The one who didn't care about this matter was Zhang Yan, he was completely applauding and agreeing, there was nothing better than the Montenegrin people getting land. As for the reduction of military power? That was not his military power in the first place, he just had the prestige and ability to lead the people to beg in Montenegro, and now the Yellow Turbans in the past can get land to cultivate and restore their former happy life, what is the bad thing?

The most important thing is that whether it is Yang Feng or Zhang Yan, they still maintain part of their military power in the imperial court, and they both have the rank of general and county marquis...... As long as Yan Bei doesn't show his desire to harm them, there is nothing bad about such a day.

The frustrated governance methods made the ministers of the court and the central government worry about him fiercely, but at such a time, news came from Guanzhong that it was not a new thing for Hedong Taishou Wangyi to be attached to the imperial court, but the Shangdang warlord Zhang Yang, who had previously visited the emperor and led his troops away, was killed by his own general Yang Chou, and then followed by the Liao general Jiang Jin and led the troops to kill Yang Chou with Zhang Yang's old subordinates, and collected all his past soldiers and horses in the Du Liao Department, which was too fresh.

At this point, the Yan clan army was frustrated with the actual leader of half of the Sili Captain's Department, and nominally led the entire territory of the Sili Lieutenant including the Ma Teng Department; Jiang Jin, the general of Duliao, took this opportunity to take the three counties of Yanmen, Shangdang, and Taiyuan, and obtained half of the state.

"This bastard Ah Jin!"

Yan Bei flipped through the letter sent by Jiang Jin and laughed angrily. Looking at the battle report sent by Jiang Jin to the imperial court in the court today, Yanbei stood tall and proud, and the old brother he sent out without planning to make any great contributions came from the chaotic merger to gnaw down three counties, what kind of merit is this?

At that time, he thought that Jiang Jin had received some kind of talent to help, but when he returned to the Great Sima Mansion, he watched Chen Zuo, who came to deliver a letter to Jiang Jin, pour bitter water for him, and read the letter to know how his brother handled the affairs of the state.

What a fool's errand!

Jiang Jin first told Yanbei a good news in his letter, that is, in another half a year at most, except for the Xiongnu royal court, the entire annex state can be subdued, and there are few field troops that still maintain independence in the annexation. The only requirement is to transfer Jiang Jin back to his hometown in Jixian County as soon as possible after getting the annexation...... Otherwise, he would have been killed by the people of Bingzhou.

Jiang Jinke is shrewd, he led his troops to Bingzhou, it's okay if he can't beat an inch of land, and if he fights, others can serve him? What should I do if I don't accept it within the three counties, kill! No matter what background he disobeyed, he was killed by him for the reason of installing Wang Yun's bereavement; After surrendering, the generals who were not of one heart were all killed by him as Li Wei's old troops; As for those big clans who are obedient to the mainland and think about other things on the surface, they even learn from Yanbei to kill them in the usual way when they first occupied Xiangxiang.

and the three counties of the state, killing the heads of the people, and the territory was taken...... But in the future, it will be tricky to throw the things that are appeased to anyone!

"That's fine, you go and tell Ah Jin that in a few days, when he takes the four western counties, the court will punish him and send him back to Jixian. Now don't make a noise about this matter, take down the three counties for merit, and I will show him the marquis of thistle. ”

Yan Bei's hand slowly knocked on the table, it was time to fight with the princes of Henan!
