Han Ying had just been enshrined as General Zuo, and he was in a good mood, so he had already gotten up and arched his hand: "Chu Du, the last general is willing to lead the soldiers and horses into the Tianshan Mountains, give me a month, and the last general will definitely take all the cities in the Tianshan Dao." ”

"I'm afraid it's not right." As soon as Han Ying's words fell, Huang Yutan immediately shook his head and said.

Han Ying looked at Huang Yutan, he and Huang Yutan guarded Hezhou together, one article and one martial arts, and the relationship between the two was also harmonious, at this time Huang Yutan said this, Han Ying frowned and asked, "Lord Huang, don't you believe that I can take Tianshan?" ”

"Not really." Huang Yutan got up with a smile and bowed his hand to Chu Huan: "Governor Chu, before discussing the matter of Tianshan, the lower official wants to ask, I don't know how to deal with the prisoners of Tianshan captured this time?" ”

Only then did everyone remember that just outside the city, there were still 20,000 Tianshan captives that had not yet been dealt with, and when the Xiguan army came to Hezhou City from the horse farm, they drove more than 20,000 captives all the way, and at this time they drew a piece of land in the north of the city and temporarily placed a large number of prisoners there.

"Not only those captives, but also the Tianshan people who are blocking the middle of the road." Xu Shao suddenly said: "When we caught up on the halfway, those people originally scattered and fled, but later gathered them and asked them to transport grain, grass and equipment to this side, although many people were routed, but there were tens of thousands of people waiting outside the city, Chu Du, what should these people do?" ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Those people are better to deal with it, give each of them a ration, which can support them to return to their hometown, and in addition, each person will be given a pound of salt, which is considered a salary." After a pause, "It's the 20,000 Tianshan Army, how to deal with it, what do you think?" ”

"There is no trace of Zhu Lingyue, I don't know if he has fled back to Tianshan." Han Ying said: "If these soldiers are sent back to their hometowns, the last general is worried that they will not die of thieves, and Zhu Lingyue will reunite them for chaos...... But if we trap them like this, it is not a way, not to mention that we have to transfer a part of the troops to take care of them, that is, these 20,000 people eat, drink and Lazar every day, that is also a big problem, we don't have much food and herbs of our own, and we have to allocate a part of it to them ......! ”

Fat Liu said: "You can't put it away, you can't keep it, so ...... You can't kill these people, can you? As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Han coughed and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Chu Huan.

Huang Yutan suddenly smiled and said: "Chu Du, in fact, how to deal with the 20,000 Tianshan army is also directly related to how to deal with the Tianshan problem in the future. ”

"What do you mean?" Chu Huan stared at Huang Yutan.

Huang Yu Tan Zhengse said: "With the current strength in the hands of Chu Du, it is easy to take the Tianshan Road by force, and it will not take too much, but have you ever thought that if our soldiers and horses enter the Tianshan Mountain, who will resist the most?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but Xu Shao had already said: "It should be Zhu Lingyue's remnants, they used to have a close relationship with Zhu Lingyue, I am afraid that Chu Du will not let them go, and they will definitely resist desperately!" ”

"That's right." Huang Yutan said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses entered the Tianshan Mountain, in fact, it was not to deal with the people there, although there are some bandits in the Tianshan Mountain who take advantage of the chaos, but the Northwest Army is enough to deal with those bandits, our soldiers and horses are just to deal with Zhu Lingyue's remnants." ”

Everyone nodded.

"It's just that if our soldiers and horses really enter the Tianshan Mountains, the people of the Tianshan Mountains will be a little disgusted in their hearts." Huang Yutan said slowly: "Tianshan should be stable, in the final analysis, it is that the people's hearts are stable, the soldiers and horses are going, and the hearts of the people are uneasy, but it is counterproductive. ”

Han Ying nodded and said: "Lord Huang, what you said is good, but if the soldiers and horses don't go, there are still more than a dozen cities in the Tianshan Mountains, and if those cities are still in the hands of Zhu Lingyue's remnants, the Tianshan Mountains will not be peaceful." ”

"So if we can calm the hearts of the Tianshan officials, things will be much easier." Huang Yu Tan Zhengse said: "Stabilizing the Tianshan Mountains is nothing more than to stabilize the hearts of the three major people, the hearts of the officials and gentry, the hearts of the soldiers and horses of the Tianshan Mountains, and most importantly, the hearts of the people of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

Chu Huan saw that Huang Yutan was quite confident, and said happily: "If you really don't have to solve this problem by bloodshed, then of course it is the best policy, Lord Huang, what good plan do you have?" ”

"Chu Du, why are the officials and gentry of the Tianshan Mountains uneasy, in the final analysis, it's not because of Zhu Lingyue." Huang Yutan said: "Most of the officials in the prefectures and counties of the Tianshan Mountains are officials promoted by Zhu Lingyue, and now that Zhu Lingyue has been defeated and the traces are difficult to find, the officials of the Tianshan Mountains are naturally panicked in their hearts. Zhu Lingyue sent troops to Xiguan and fought with Chu Du, everyone would feel that Chu Du and Zhu Lingyue were incompatible, in this case, of course, the Tianshan officials would be worried that Chu Huan would settle accounts after the autumn, and let them go, with such a mind, of course they would not be caught with their hands tied, and they would resist desperately. ”

"Exactly." Chu Huan bowed.

Huang Yutan thought for a moment before he said: "So the lower officials think that if the Governor of Chu gives an order to sue the officials of the Tianshan Mountains, they are all just coerced by Zhu Lingyue, and there is no major fault, as long as they reform themselves, the Governor of Chu will not punish them, and their lives and family property can be guaranteed, so that the lower officials think that they will definitely not resist desperately." ”

Xu Shao frowned and said: "Lord Huang, although this is a strategy, it can also resolve their resistance, but they are Zhu Lingyue's henchmen after all, if they are let go, and let them continue to hold official positions, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, once there is an opportunity, those people are only afraid that there will be chaos." ”

"Xu Tongzhi's worries are certainly justified." Huang Yutan said: "In fact, there is no need to worry, first settle their minds, ensure their life safety, you can eliminate their fighting spirit, and when the Tianshan Mountains are stable, the lower officials think that they can carry out official assessments, just like the original Yuezhou Zhizhou Gongsun Chu Gongsun did to assess the management within the jurisdiction, and those who have the ability can continue to stay in office, otherwise they will be removed and promoted, which is not impossible." Although Zhu Lingyue is nepotistic, but as far as I know, among the officials of the Tianshan Mountains, there is no shortage of capable officials, if at this time, all the officials of the prefectures and counties of the Tianshan Mountains are dismissed, it will be hundreds of vacancies, and we will not be able to fill all these vacancies in a short period of time, so that the political affairs of the entire Tianshan Mountains will be paralyzed by this, and the consequences will be even stricter. ”

Pei Ji nodded and said, "Lord Huang is reasonable, Chu Du, this is Lao Cheng's words. If it is really because the officials were promoted by Zhu Lingyue, they will all be dismissed and deposed, and the consequences will be even more severe. If the order is given to only eliminate the first evil, and the others are not to blame for the past, it can not only reassure the officials of the Tianshan Mountains, but also allow the government affairs of the Tianshan Mountains to still operate, and in this way, the Chu Governor is magnanimous, and many of them will inevitably be grateful, which is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Lord Huang is really wise, so do what you say, and the governor can give an order and convey the Tianshan Mountain." He also asked, "How did the soldiers and horses of Tianshan and the people of Tianshan respond to it?" ”

"Governor Chu, the lower official just said that the 20,000 Tianshan soldiers outside the city have handled it well, just like if the major affairs of the Tianshan are solved." Huang Yutan said: "As far as the lower officials know, the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, except for a very small part, most of them are recruits recruited by Zhu Lingyue in recent years, many of them have even been forcibly pulled into the army, a few years ago they were just ordinary people, many people don't like to go into battle, Chu Governor can order, these prisoners, if they are willing to return to their hometowns to farm, they can be relieved of their military status, let him return to his hometown to farm, if there are still people who are willing to stay as soldiers, then they will be screened and assessed, and those who are qualified to stay can continue to be soldiers, Otherwise, you still have to go back to your hometown to farm...... At this time, Chu Du's Juntian Order will come in handy......! ”

"Junda Ling?"

"Exactly." Huang Yutan said solemnly: "Throughout the ages, the people of the whole world have regarded the land as their life, which can be seen from the Juntian reform carried out in Xiguan. If this Juntian order continues to be extended to the Tianshan Mountains, the lower officials think that they will inevitably be supported by the people of the Tianshan Mountains, that is, the 20,000 soldiers outside the city, and I believe that after knowing this, most of the people will be willing to return to their hometowns to cultivate the fields. Xiguan implemented the Juntian Order, carried out rent regulation, and within three years, the people only needed to pay 30% of the tax, these policies can also be implemented in the Tianshan Mountains, they must not be able to ask for it. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly.

Qi Hong had been following Chu Huan's side, and he naturally had a more thorough understanding of the specific content of the Juntian Order, so he couldn't help but ask at this time: "Lord Huang, the Juntian Order is certainly a good policy for the benefit of the people, but Xiguan implements the Juntian Order, and it is the environment......!" He glanced at Chu Huan and said: "Chu Du also said that Xiguan can implement the Juntian Order, and the most fundamental point is that Xiguan used to have a lot of barren fields, and the number of these barren fields is huge. ”

Huang Yutan said with a smile: "Good question, in fact, this is the most critical point in the implementation of the Tianshan Juntian Order. In terms of manpower, there is no shortage of manpower in the Tianshan Mountains, in fact, there is a way to solve the land in the Tianshan Mountains. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with interest: "Lord Huang, where did the land where the Tianshan Mountains implemented the Juntian Order come from? ”
