Chapter 21: Zhao Yun
Ordered to exterminate the rebels in Linjun, this is also a last resort, just received a battle report, Yecheng has been breached, Yecheng is the central city of Jizhou, and even has the foundation of the royal capital.
Therefore, all the cities and cities in Jizhou, facing the Yellow Turban at this time, I am afraid that they will consider "non-resistance", such as Zhen's bad deeds, at this time, it is natural to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise wait for Zhen to use that huge amount of money and countless craftsmen to devote themselves to the Yellow Turban, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban will immediately sweep the situation of the three northern states.
This situation is unlikely, but no one dares to vouch for Zhen, after the warriors of the Changshan Kingdom brought a secret report and several carts of weapons sent by Zhen to the Yellow Turban, at this time, Fu Zhu also agreed to do something to Zhen on behalf of the Jizhou family that was invested in Yang Yi's hands.
It's really too dangerous for the Zhen family, and it's naturally good to have money in peacetime, but at this time, if there is no clear appearance, it's too dangerous!
After the recruitment order was issued, it would take some time to spread all over the world, but there were many Jizhou literati who came to Zhuo County for refuge, and after having these people, Yang Yi finally had a lot of time to squander, and there were some people who could be used, of course, the advisors she had envisioned before were basically not recruited.
For example, the judge, Tian Feng and others, but they are all children of the family, and the threshold is high, at this time, this group of guys is basically not optimistic about the future under Yang Yi, after all, they have not heard that the eldest princess can be in power, and these guys from the family also have some cynicism about Yang Yi's recruitment order.
Yang Yi also extinguished the idea of continuing to recruit Wenchen strategists, anyway, this world is very simple, she can do these things by herself, if she has it, at most, her own time may be more free, if not, it is just to make Frustration a little busier, which is not too much of an impact.
As for the Zhen family, which was originally planned to be recruited, after the Zhen family did not take the initiative to serve, but instead drew a distance, especially in the purchase of military horses, livestock, etc., it was not as large as the share of Zhang Shiping's wealthy businessmen, and the price did not have any advantage.
Now I don't do my best, Yang Yi actually estimated this point, and I didn't pay attention to it at all, not everyone has the character of courage, but the rudder is what most of these businessmen have, Yang Yi never thought that because of her arrival, the Zhen family would help or something, these are impossible to achieve.
However, Yang Yi believes that the Zhen family, which is located at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou, will inevitably be inextricably linked, and with a little dedication, it will definitely not be worse than Zhang Shiping and other wealthy businessmen among the commoners.
Although this kind of family that is progressing towards the family, in the family management, it is natural that the whole family will not be pressed up because of any interests, the Zhen family seems to be just a wealthy businessman on the surface, but the Zhen family, which occupies a prominent position in Zhongshan Kingdom, is not just a wealthy businessman.
In the pre-Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Zhen family had settled in Wuji County, Zhongshan County, and became a local wealthy family.
In the merger of Haoqiang land, the Zhen family began to appear in the high-ranking households, and the people who originally obtained official positions with filial piety and honesty took advantage of the situation to rise to prominence, and soon rose to become famous eunuchs with Zhen Feng, Zhen Han, Zhen Xun, Zhen Fu, etc.
Zhen Han's father-in-law, Kong Guang, was an important minister of the imperial court and the prime minister of the three emperors of Ping; With his power, Zhen Feng and Zhen Han were quickly promoted from a local official to the ministers of the palace.
Especially after Wang Mang established a new dynasty, they became the core figures of the ruling group, and their official positions were promoted again and again, and their titles were rewarded again and again; Zhen Fengguan to the Great Sikong, the Lord was subject to the Marquis of Guangyang, and the Duke of Guangxin; Zhen Hanguan worships the Great Sima, and the lord accepts the Marquis of Chengyang and the new duke.
At this time, basically can be called the family nobles, once they rise to the family nobles, they will be under the protection of the Shiqinglu system, the wife and the son, passed down from generation to generation, to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Wuji Zhen family, has become the "Shi Eun Wang family" in Zhongshan County.
For example, Yuan Shao later, the Yuan family is the fourth generation and the third duke, in the era when the family emphasizes the right family, can he let his sister-in-law marry Zhen Mi because of a sentence that this woman has the state of Fengyi in the world? Are you kidding? Even if the family has tens of millions, what can the Yuan family have almost become a peep at the world, what is the home of a wealthy businessman?
Therefore, this Zhongshan Kingdom seems to be of the Han Dynasty, but it is actually Zhen's, and even the potential strength is even greater, through the caravans that come and go, radiating around, Yuan Shao wants to marry, and later Cao Cao also wants to marry.
Regarding the attitude of the Zhen family, Yang Yi naturally has nothing to say, and it is not the time to calculate for the time being, it was originally fledgling, and when the time comes, it will really be cleaned up in two years, and the Zhen family cannot be bulldozed, at most it will change the head of the family or something, and it is unwise to provoke the family before there is no absolute strength, of course, if you really want to eradicate it in one fell swoop, in fact, it is nothing to do one or two.
In fact, the most annoying thing about the Zhen family is that he is frustrated, after all, he is also a famous person in Jizhou, he was originally a county order of 600 stones, and now he is the minister of Yan State with 2,000 stones, he did not succeed in soliciting it, and he was secretly ridiculed, and it is natural to be annoyed.
Yang Yi has seen a lot, and besides, this kind of family, if Yang Yi is really willing, she can destroy it with a snap of her fingers, of course, she has to take action herself, but it's not worth it, how can you get through this world in three years.
Facing the family is something that every emperor has to do, but the emperor who can really subdue the family is only a few hands from ancient times to the present, if he does not have real strength, even if there is a traverser who tends to avoid evil and has a vision that transcends the times, he probably can't do it, and Yang Yi has many years of imperial experience in "Jianghu" as an experience, in the world of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", how powerful the four major valves are, almost every family has the ambition and action to usurp the throne, and even did it.
In the face of that kind of scene, Yang Yi can also dominate the world, but now the Zhen family can't provoke Yang Yi's anger.
After Yang Yi said that he had no intention of turning his face with the Zhen family, he couldn't do it, but looking at the expression of the Fu Zhu who was holding back his anger, it was estimated that it would definitely not be easy for the Zhen family to fall into his hands.
Of course, the Zhen family will not be moved at this time, but it will not be connived, and Zhang Shiping, who has already taken effect, said hello, handed over most of the business of Yan Guo at this time to Su Shuang and other wealthy businessmen, and accelerated the use of new technologies such as salt fields, and first squeezed the Zhen family's salt industry and the business of livestock outside the Saiwai.
In line with two preparations, one hand radish and the other hand stick, it would be great if Su Shuang and other wealthy businessmen could crush the Zhen family's related industries and let them understand the family's duty.
In case the Zhen family really wants money and doesn't want to die, at that time, Yang Yi can only handle it himself, whether it is a commercial squeeze, or a brazen attack to erase the upper echelons of the Zhen family, and give the Zhen family a decent funeral or something.
Of course, this was Yang Yi's plan half a month ago, no one expected that only half a month later, there would be huge changes, such as Yang Yi, who was still silently accumulating strength, blast furnace ironmaking had just begun, and the hydraulic forging hammer had just been put into use, and large-scale weapon manufacturing was only just on the stage at this time.
In the case that Yang Yi doesn't make a move, it takes half a year to accumulate enough strength, and half a year is not much, but in the same way, the Zhen family must also be training group exercises, after all, nearly a million yellow scarves are raging in Jizhou, and the wealth of the Zhen family is so tempting, at this time, there is no need to violate the Han law.
Originally, I didn't pay much attention to Han Law, the Zhen family's caravan traveled in all directions, and it was originally carrying weapons, and the violation was not one or two points, and it naturally took time to train the new army, and when Yang Yi's Yan State army was ready, the new army trained by the Zhen family would almost have the strength to fight.
Therefore, it will take a lot of effort to clean up the Zhen family when the time comes, Yang Yi is not wrong about this, but if she doesn't make a move, she can only do this.
And under the sponsorship of Cheng Peng, the gift-giving general, more than 2,000 refined weapons, which directly gave the army of Yan State, which had only been trained for a month, had the strength to fight.
Yang Yi directly sent two-thirds of the strength of his subordinates, Guan Yu was the front, Chun Yuqiong pressed the formation, and secretly Zhang Fei brought a Xuanjia cavalry to sweep the wings, at this time Yang Yi only had Xu Rong left in his hands, and the army was only a few hundred capable of fighting.
Guan Yu, 10,000 enemies, this is Yang Yi's general who will be used in the future Heavenly Court, at this time leading nearly 1,000 Xuanjia cavalry, and Chun Yuqiong with more than 1,000 cavalry, and Zhang Fei with hundreds of Xuanjia cavalry, at this time, although Zhen has trained thousands of troops in Zhongshan Kingdom, but he has not been proficient in battle formations and has no combat power, let alone a fierce general.
If Guan Yu couldn't even win this battle, he would have wasted all these hours of training, and these days, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Rong, Chun Yuqiong and other generals were not idle, and they were all sent by Yang Yi to clear the bandits and robbers.
Although most of the bandits and robbers have gone to the Yellow Turban, there are also some who like the current life, and these outlaws have naturally suffered a catastrophe.
Xu Rong and Chun Yuqiong were originally Han generals, although their status was not high in the past, but they had both seen wars and experienced battles, and they were able to be selected from Luoyi, and they also had some ability to show, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Although they had the ability to do good, they had no experience, and it was impossible to reuse them from the beginning.
After more than ten days of leading troops to suppress bandits and more than ten days of military camp training, under the orthodox training, the two of them grew up very quickly, and quickly became two generals who could lead troops to fight independently.
Maybe the two of them have very little experience in leading troops, and they may not have the ability to lead tens of thousands of troops, but it is easy to bring thousands of people.
What's more, the Zhen family didn't expect at this time that the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom had no intention of negotiating with them at all, but directly wanted to destroy their Zhen family.
From Zhen Jiang, who was sent to Yang Yi to serve, the result of the trial was that Yang Yi did not have any opinion on the Zhen family, judging from the previous experience of the Zhen family, this kind of matter can be negotiated and resolved, and commercial interests can be negotiated.
And when he got the news that the Yan State was coming, he quickly made some responses, such as mobilizing troops to demonstrate, and then he was also prepared to sacrifice a lot of interests, but in terms of business, it was impossible to say how much the cost was, and outsiders did not know how much profit was.
For example, Zhang Shiping, who now has 600 stones in Yan Kingdom, was also a wealthy businessman in the past, and Na Sushuang was purchasing grassland livestock for Yan Kingdom, but how much they cost, Zhen can see, but how much Zhen costs, this is not something they can know.
No matter how low the price is, the Zhen family also earns, it is nothing more than a matter of earning more and making less, and they are ready to bleed, but they didn't expect that this time they didn't come to ask for their money, but to ask for their lives.
This worst preparation was originally prepared for the Yellow Turban, and the news that the Yellow Turban had beaten Yecheng had just arrived, and Yecheng was beaten yesterday!
There are carrier pigeons to transmit messages, but Zhen and Yang Yi have different investments in this area, Yang Yi is always concerned, and brings dozens of transmission pigeons at a time, which is owned by Zhuojun before.
The instructions for the Zhen family were made three days ago, just waiting for Yecheng to fall, and the fall of Yecheng is a matter of time or time, and all parties have prepared for this, such as those family backbones in Yecheng, and the descendants of the descendants can't break through the encirclement of the Yellow Turban at all, in a vain attempt to use carrier pigeons to send a message, and order the families outside to gather strength to rescue Yecheng.
It's just that few of the carrier pigeons sent out come back, and it is estimated that most of them have become the meat in the stomach, and there are a few who try to fight in vain, but at this time, it is the peak of the strength of the Yellow Turban, Zhang Jiao has the power to stir the heavens, and with the blessing of his Taoism, the Yellow Turban Lux can be a hundred, and among the millions of Yellow Turbans, the Yellow Turban Lux has tens of thousands.
This is also the main reason why the backbone of the family in Yecheng can't break out of Yecheng, you must know that although Jizhou has been peaceful for a long time, but there are thousands of elite Han troops stationed, at this time the children of the family are both civil and military, Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, and law have their own inheritance, but they are not the scribes who are powerless in later generations.
Wen can raise the pen to settle the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world; This is the motto of the children of the family in this era, and it is naturally very rare to be able to do it, but to do it is to be able to appease a township, and to be able to use one as ten, there are many such characters.
There are even more in Yecheng, most of these people don't want to be trapped in Yecheng, and they don't want to wait for the Yellow Turban to be a prisoner after breaking the city, but there may not be many opportunities to be prisoners, and most of them may be cut with a knife.
The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand; This sky does not only refer to the Han royal family, but also to their family nobles, although everyone may not have secretly supported Zhang Jiao in the past, but at this time, they only think that it is best for Zhang Jiao to die as soon as possible.
All the way to the grass coar, this is the previous idea of Zhang Jiao, it is impossible for the grass coward to break Yecheng, for them these families, it is a good thing for the grass coward to wreak havoc on the place, just take this opportunity to annex the land, most of their children live in the big city, will not be harmed by the grass coward.
It's like the Zhen family, selling iron tools to the aliens on the grassland, and there are various counties in Youzhou in front of it, and it doesn't matter if you buy weapons, food, and materials for the Yellow Turbans, for a while, the Yellow Turbans will not fight Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Yellow Turbans are very rich now.
This has also become the danger of Zhen's extermination, a warrior Zhao Yun from Changshan Country, forced by righteous indignation, the bandits and robbers in the Yellow Turban Army ravaged Changshan Country, after being stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, he was forced to ask about the secret of the Zhen family and the Yellow Turban transaction, in order to avoid trouble, he saw the recruitment order of His Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, and took the clan to expose the Zhen family.
