Chapter 183: Two Birds with One Stone
Gao Ran angrily ordered the city gate to be opened, and the first goal was to hack to death these old acquaintances who were scolding him under the city to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Although his subordinates reminded Gao Ran many times not to fall for the scheme, Gao Ran was already dizzy at this time and didn't care about these opinions at all.
The gates of the city were wide open, and Gao Ran rushed out with his men and horses, intending to kill the people below.
But these people had long been transferred elsewhere by Tian Yu, and only the army that was on standby waited for them.
Gao Ran stepped forward and wanted to scold, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a flying knife burrowed into his mouth, and blood immediately pierced his entire skull......
"General Gao......"
"General Gao is wounded......"
..................
The tens of thousands of troops that Gao Ran brought out of the city saw that Gao Ran was dead, and immediately fell into chaos, Tian Yu took the opportunity to lead the army to surround it, and started a battle with the other party......
Lei Tai looked at the battlefield in the distance, it seemed that his side was dominating, so there was no need to step forward to help, he turned his head to look at Guo Jia beside him, and found that the other party was also indifferent, looking like he was in control......
After a period of fighting, the Gaoran army outside the city surrendered without a commander, and the defenders inside the city immediately abandoned the city and fled......
Lei Tai led people into Julu and officially took over this important city.
After two days of repairs, Lei Tai's army had expanded to 70,000 men, and he led his men to continue the march, where he again encountered Yuan Shao's army in Quang Binh County.
At this time, among the counties occupied by Lei Tai before, there were also many powerful forces leading their own private soldiers to start a rebellion, although the number was not large, each team was only a few hundred people, but due to the large number of powerful people in various places, the total number of people together actually reached the scale of tens of thousands.
With Yuan Shao's army blocking in Guangping County in front and people constantly rebelling around, Lei Tai could only temporarily stop his march and begin to gradually quell these rebellions.
Guo Jia came to Lei Tai's residence and claimed that he had something to say, but before he could say it, he didn't dare to say it until Lei Tai spared him from dying.
After Lei Tai agreed, Guo Jia said, "Do you know why there are so many rebels?"
"I guess I'm not used to being under my control. Lei Taiman said nonchalantly.
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "These rebels are all powerful people from all over the country, they have a lot of arable land in their hands, and the lord's reform in Youzhou just touches the interests of the heroes, so they are worried that after you occupy Jizhou, you will naturally carry out the same reform as Youzhou, so you will rebel and defend your own interests, so I think that the lord should appease these heroes first, and after Jizhou is pacified, it is not too late to make plans." ”
Guo Jia's words did make Lei Tai realize the problem, but since his reform had already begun, how could it be stopped because of the resistance of some people, so he stood up, walked up to Guo Jia and said, "As far as I know, your family is also one of the strongest in Jizhou, right?"
When Guo Jia heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Chen's family is indeed a big family in Jizhou, and it is also ...... also participated in this rebellion, but the minister was loyal to the lord and did not dare to have two hearts, hoping that the lord would be clear. ”
"Okay, okay, stand up, I don't blame you. Lei Tai looked at Guo Jia with a smile and helped the other party up from the ground.
Guo Jia was still a little frightened, and he never dared to look up at Lei Tai, after all, his family was also involved in this rebellion, if Lei Tai was angry, it would be a big crime to destroy the three clans.
Seeing this, Lei Tai said earnestly: "I also know that my reform measures will definitely attract resistance from all walks of life, so the officials and officials who serve under my command are either proletarians, or, like you, who were born in the Haoqiang family, but they are not the head of the family, although you can't get a hereditary fief, but as long as you are in your position, you can get a rich salary no less than other officials at the same level, this is the only thing I can give you." ”
Guo Jia nodded, indicating that he understood Lei Tai's words.
Lei Tai patted Guo Jia's shoulder hard, causing the other party to subconsciously raise his head and look at Lei Tai,
When the eyes of the two of them met, there seemed to be a slight spark, and neither of them looked elsewhere.
Lei Tai stared at Guo Jia and asked in a solemn tone: "I have offended Haoqiang now, and I will naturally be resisted by them, but if I choose to compromise with them, the people will be disappointed because of this, which side do you think I should be on?"
Hearing Lei Tai's words, the serious expression that Guo Jia had been maintaining on his face suddenly seemed to disappear, and a lot of soft things appeared in his eyes, he knelt on the ground again, no matter how Lei Tai persuaded him, he refused to get up, and said: "The lord is really a benevolent and righteous person, no wonder even Liu Yu will serve under your command, I, Guo Jia, will vow to do my best for your great cause from today onwards, and die!"
"Don't talk about this kind of hypocrisy, you should first think about how to put down these rebellions quickly. Rethai said as he returned to his seat.
[Surprise from Guo Jia +22]
"I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and I want to hear it from the lord. Guo Jia said with a confident look: "Since the lord has decided to implement the same land policy as Youzhou in Jizhou, it is better to simply release this news and encourage the surrounding civilian areas to kill all kinds of Haoqiang, so that at least Haoqiang can lose his foundation, so that our counterinsurgency action will also be smoother because of the people's heart, this is one of them." ”
Lei Tai nodded, and at the same time turned his head and continued to look at Guo Jia, waiting for the other party to continue to explain.
Guo Jia paused, and after seeing Lei Tai's interested look, he knew that his suggestion had been approved, so he continued: "Second, the lord has the courage of ten thousand people, so we can evenly distribute the army into a team of 1,000 people and go to various places to quell the rebellion at the same time, although this will cause an empty situation in the city, but after Zhang He sees such a situation, he will naturally take advantage of the situation and take the initiative to go out of the city to attack us, and then the opportunity for the lord will come." ”
After saying this, Guo Jia waited for Lei Tai's response, but after a long while, Lei Tai didn't say anything.
Guo Jia was a little anxious, and said: "This is a dangerous chess, almost to take the safety of the lord as a child, and then lead out the enemy army, so the final decision is still up to the lord himself." ”
"Win in the midst of danger! This plan is very good, I agreed!" After thinking about it, Lei Tai suddenly said excitedly, with a strong desire to fight in his eyes.
