Twenty days ago, when the situation in Xuzhou after the war stabilized, Jia Xu and Guo Jia joined forces to rectify the rule of Xuzhou.

Guo Jia took the lead in surrendering troops to Xuzhou in the reorganization, replacing almost all middle and senior generals, or directly dismissing their posts or transferring to other states and counties, and even some generals were beheaded on the spot for disobedience. Jia Xu, on the other hand, started with the subordinate officials of the state pastoral government, successively removed dozens of minor officials of the state government, and then extended to all counties and counties, and successively transferred more than 100 officials from Yuzhou, Sili and other prefectures and counties to fill these vacant positions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jia Xu and Guo Jia started, chaos broke out in Xiapi City. Immediately, the sudden riot centered on Xiapicheng quickly spread to all counties, so that chaos broke out in all counties of Xuzhou almost at the same time.

In the following half month, the whole territory of Xuzhou was full of bandits, chaos, and the originally stable situation was turbulent again, and showed an increasingly fierce trend, as if it was out of control.

In the middle of the day, the originally good situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and as the shape continued to deteriorate, the area affected by the chaos became larger and larger, making the whole situation gradually lose control.

Forced to be helpless, Jia Xu and Guo Jia quickly discussed countermeasures, and while presenting the matter to Li Li in the East China Sea, they mobilized troops and horses to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos.

The speed at which Li Li returned to Xiapi City was far beyond Jia Xu and Guo Jia's expectations, and almost as soon as the information they reported arrived at the Donghai County Government, Li Li led his troops to rush outside Xiapi City.

It goes without saying that at the beginning of the outbreak of the Xuzhou turmoil, Li Li had already received the news and immediately led his troops back to the Xiapi Governance Office. It's just that even if he rushes back in the starry night. By the time we arrived in Xiapi City, the turmoil had been going on for half a month.

However, what everyone didn't expect was this. This turmoil directly angered Li Li, and then led him to be furious, and he did not hesitate to take thunderous measures with lightning speed, attacking fiercely, and cutting through the chaos with a quick knife. After a little shock, he immediately pulled out dozens of state officials with evil intentions, which stunned a large number of people. Among them, there is no shortage of high-powered Xuzhou officialdom tumbler ——— Chen Qi.

Chen Qiqi, as early as the period when Tao Qian led Xuzhou, he was named the prime minister of Pei by the imperial court. After Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Li Li, the four princes and overlords of Xuzhou, he is still in the position of Peixiang. On the surface, Chen Jue's official position has not been promoted or demoted, and he has not been able to stand still, and there is nothing outstanding about it. This is not the case.

It is important to know that there are only six counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. It also includes the Xiapi Prefecture, which is the state with the fewest county governance among the Han states; Compared with Xuzhou, the other states of Dahan have at least eight or more counties under their jurisdiction. It is not difficult to find that Chen Qi has been serving as Pei Xiang for many years, and has experienced several turmoil and repeated changes of ownership in Xuzhou, but he has always remained immovable and has a stable position, which shows that he is scheming. Extraordinary strategy. Yes, it is said that he is a political tumbler in Xuzhou officialdom. Not to exaggerate.

Now, after the defeat of Lü Bu, Xuzhou has changed hands again, and Li Li has become the fourth prince overlord in charge of Xuzhou in the past five years. However, after quelling the war in Xuzhou, Li Li adopted a strategy of doing nothing, handing over all the military and political affairs of Xuzhou to Jia Xu and Guo Jia to take over, while he himself stayed out of the matter, away from the Xiapi Zhizhi, and led his own guards to the East China Sea to build a naval base to find a new station for the Jinfan Battalion that came later.

And this is also an important part of Li Li's future planning for the sailor. In this plan, he planned to divide the naval division into two, one to remain in Bohai Bay, with Gan Ning as the chief general; The other was stationed in the East China Sea of Xuzhou, and its main general was Lü Meng. To this end, he will soon set up the Xuzhou Naval Division, which will include the counties along the Yangtze River such as the East China Sea, Huaiyin, Guangling and Lujiang, and face the Jiangdong Naval Army across the river, laying the foundation for the pacification of Jiangdong in the future.

During Li Li's inspection of the East China Sea, Jia Xu and Guo Jia joined forces to rectify the military and political affairs in Xuzhou, perhaps because they underestimated the situation or deliberately, so that as soon as the two of them made a move, the huge alliance of interests hidden in the shadows quickly counterattacked, causing the situation that had just stabilized to be violently turbulent. Under the unstable situation, Jia Xu and Guo Jia's military and political reforms had to be stopped, and then while calming down the turmoil, they carefully reflected on it, and did not dare to make any more big moves, lest the situation become more chaotic and completely lose control. And this is precisely what the stubborn forces hidden in the shadows want to see the most, and it is also the fundamental purpose of their deliberate chaos at any cost.

This stubborn group of forces is by no means an unwarranted fabrication, but a real existence under the political situation in Xuzhou. Looking at the beginning and end of Xuzhou's successive changes of ownership, it is not difficult to find that among the three changes of ownership since Tao Qian, all of them were fought in World War I, and all of them were local wars that broke out around the small area of Xiapizhou Mansion. Liu Bei's empty gloves are white wolves, and he easily leads the six counties of Xuzhou; Lu Bu directly attacked Xiapi and seized the state capital in one fell swoop, and then the counties of Xuzhou were decided. This time, Li Li's army captured Xuzhou, but it was still directly captured Xiapi, and then it was decided that Xuzhou would be bagged in less than half a month.

In the three regime changes before and after, Xuzhou has the same strange circle, that is, whoever occupies the state capital Xiapicheng can take charge of the six counties of Xuzhou. This is unique in other states. In addition to Xuzhou, the fall or change of ownership of other prefectures and counties was the gradual capture of a city and a place, a county and a county, and was met with stubborn resistance. However, Xuzhou is an exception, which is very special, every time the state capital is the first to fall, and then other counties and counties hear the wind and fall, and the rumor can be determined.

And this strange circle is not that the Xuzhou army is bloodless, cowardly and cowardly, but that behind the army and the political situation in Xuzhou there is an impenetrable net that firmly controls the situation in the six counties of Xuzhou. In other words, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Li Li, who was in charge of Xuzhou at the moment, were not able to really control Xuzhou, and their control was limited to the official mansions such as the state pastoral mansion and the county government, and the counties outside the mansion were all in the hands of the deep-rooted major families and scholars.

Compared with Liu Bei, Lu Bu and other princes, the princes who once really controlled Xuzhou were the old state Mu Taoqian, who was in charge of Xuzhou when the troubled times came. Back then, Lao Zhou Mu Tao Qian originally planned to befriend Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's father Cao Song, who passed through Xuzhou, received a warm reception from the state capital. Before leaving, he also gave a large amount of gold and silver, but unexpectedly, stealing chickens and rice did not make a loss, and Cao Song was killed. Then Cao Cao led his army to attack Xuzhou. Forced into desperation, Tao Qian led the Xuzhou army and Cao Cao's army to fight twice, and the heroic Xuzhou army stubbornly blocked the Cao army from Tancheng, causing Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou twice in vain.

It can be seen from this that the Xuzhou Army is not incapable of fighting, but has been manipulated behind the scenes, and has repeatedly surrendered without a fight. And the mastermind behind the manipulation of the situation in Xuzhou behind the scenes is. The interests of the major families and scholars in Xuzhou are formed by the powerful and powerful. It is precisely because they secretly control the counties of Xuzhou that the wars in the successive Xuzhou changes of ownership are limited to the surrounding areas of Xiapi and do not affect other counties. It's always a local war. Therefore, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and even Li Li, who occupies Xuzhou at the moment, all occupy Xuzhou in name, and the actual control of Xuzhou is still in the hands of the interest alliance.

Other words. What Li Li occupies is nothing more than a magnificent state mansion. But it is a castle in the air, and the low-level counties are still in the hands of the family. Because their foundation is in the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, they are deeply rooted, and they help each other to each other, attack and defend alliances, and advance and retreat together.

Because of this, Jia Xu and Guo Jia drastically replaced generals and state and county officials in the military and political circles, which undoubtedly directly shook the foundation of the alliance of interests. Completely dismantle their de facto control over the county. Since then, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides have become irreconcilable. A violent collision is bound to break out until one side is completely overwhelmed.

It's just that when they were fighting with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, they forgot that Li Li, who was out of the way, had already watched the fire from the other side, and had been waiting for this stubborn force to surface, and then inflicted a thunderous blow in an attempt to destroy the entire alliance of interests in one fell swoop.

It was when these people were still staring at Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Li Li had already set his eyes on the army when he captured Xuzhou. Therefore, he immediately concentrated the soldiers and horses of various counties and counties in Xuzhou in the military camp in the northern suburbs of Xiapi City, and mobilized heavy troops into Xuzhou, firmly controlling all the troops in Xuzhou.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this turbulent era, the military is the foundation that determines everything, and Li Li is well versed in this; When it comes to controlling the army, no one can jump to first place if he thinks he is second.

Therefore, when the situation in Xuzhou was turbulent again, when a group of subordinates and nobles in Xuzhou thought that they had grasped the weakness of the Xiliang Army, and thought that Li Li would take measures to maintain stability in Xuzhou for the first time and had to compromise, Li Li acted in the opposite way and made a brazen move, and did not hesitate to take thunderous measures to mobilize 100,000 troops to enter the counties and counties of Xuzhou with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and quell the turmoil with a tough and unrivaled high-pressure situation.

?????? Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, and it is the end of July in a blink of an eye.

The half-month-long operation to suppress bandits in the whole territory is nearing its end, and the counterinsurgency army has won an unprecedented victory and achieved brilliant results.

Just three days after the general's decree was issued, almost as soon as the army was dispatched, the bandits and rogues in the counties and counties fled and quickly disappeared.

Immediately, soldiers and horses from all walks of life followed the clues left by the bandits, traced the source, eradicated more than 100 local powerful households in one fell swoop, found out more than 30 large families of the noble clan, and arrested more than 20,000 bandits from their palaces.

When these war reports were submitted to Li Li, the military orders were then passed to the hands of the generals from all walks of life, and all the families, scholars and powerful gentry who harbored bandits and rogues were confiscated from their family property, and all those in charge were beheaded, and the rest of the clansmen, family members, servants and miscellaneous servants were all exiled to Mobei. This military order alone destroyed the families of hundreds of families and powerful gentry in various counties and counties, and more than 10,000 people were beheaded in public, and as many as 50,000 people were exiled.

Since then, the huge alliance of interests hidden in the shadows has been destroyed, many famous families who have been entrenched in various counties for hundreds of years have been uprooted, and the newly rising local power has been completely destroyed. After the elimination of bandits, almost one-third of the mansions and compounds in the cities of the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou were vacant, and hundreds of thousands of shops and millions of fertile fields were all included in the name of the government.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou have collectively benefited, and almost every household has been allocated more than ten acres of fertile land or a house; More than 100,000 displaced people who fled to Xuzhou also received tangible benefits, and all of them were properly resettled, and quickly solved the problem of food and clothing, and settled down in peace and stability.

At the end of July, the new Xuzhou Thorn Shi arrived, and all the county officials were replaced, and the new county guard and county commander took office almost at the same time as the Thorn Shi. As Jia Xu and Guo Jia guessed before, the new Xuzhou Assassin is not Chen Gong, nor is it Chen Qi or Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou old scholars, but the former Shuozhou Taishou Zhang and Zhang Derong.

At the same time, the supreme military commander of Xuzhou arrived with Zhang Ji. What is surprising is that the chief general of the three armies sitting in Xuzhou is not any of the generals who followed Li Li to fight in Xuzhou this time, but the general of Xiliang who was ordered to be transferred, Guo Yan, the general of Zhenyuan who is higher than the third duke.
