Chapter 137: We're Not Stupid

After a few months, Zhang Xiu came to Wu County for the second time.

The first time was Zhang Xiu's "state visit" to the Jiangdong Sun family, which was a friendly gesture. But this second time, it was a very unfriendly invader who came to the city of Wu County.

It's just that compared with the previous two large-scale siege battles, Zhang Xiujun's current attack was a radical way of attacking and encircling from all sides. In this battle, Zhang Xiu shrunk the 20,000 army to one point and approached Wu County step by step.

This is because Wu County has gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers. Zhang Xiu no longer has any advantage in the number of soldiers and horses.

It must be known that most of the more than 30,000 soldiers did not belong to the Jiangdong Army's combat sequence half a month ago. To put it simply, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are armed by powerful clans from all over Wu County! Under the order of Zhu Zhi, the Taishou of Wu County, appointed by Sun Ce, in just half a month, most of the powerful clans of Wu County gathered in Wu County.

So many soldiers gathered together under Zhu Zhi's order, naturally it was not for Zhang Xiu to hold a celebration banquet in Wu County. It's all a reaction that is provoked when the life of the family is at great risk.

Although the leaders of these powerful clans have not yet known about the bloody storm that has taken place in Danyang County, they are extremely sensitive in terms of smelling and perceiving danger.

Before Zhang Xiu's army attacked Jiangdong, there were rumors of Zhang Xiu's "tyranny" in Huainan among the ruling and exploiting classes in Jiangdong. The personal experiencers and disseminators of these appalling stories are some of the wealthy families of the former Huainan family who were fortunate enough to cross the river to take refuge in Jiangdong.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that these families who survived under Zhang Xiu's butcher's knife used their down-and-out reality to teach the Jiangdong families a lesson, the wealthy families in Jiangdong would never believe that there would be a tyranny similar to that of Huainan Zhang Xiu at this time!

The reason why the clan is strong and dares to disobey those in power is because the clan is strong and controls the hearts of the people at the grassroots level. The reason why the scholars sometimes dare to compete with the government is because the scholars represent the reputation of a place!

In essence, the feudal bureaucracy and the yamen are nothing more than tools for the ruling class to maintain a balance between interests and interests. And the hilt of the sword is often held in the hands of the ruling class. How can I take the knife and stab the hilt of the sword at myself, at most I make a show.

Although because of this tool, there were "professionals" who came to use it exclusively - the imperial power and bureaucrats. However, if the imperial power and the bureaucracy want to last long, they must understand who made this tool! Since the landlord class can make the first tool, they can also make another identical tool and find a new person to use it!

Throughout the dynasties, no matter which surname the emperor is, as long as it is in the feudal social stage, the landlord class always gets the largest piece of the cake of social wealth. Now, looking at Zhang Xiu's various practices of governing in Huainan, it is a practice that completely denies the existence of the landlord class!

What bullshit is about the food plan supply system, whether to help the hungry or not is my own business, and it is a question of whether my conscience is good or bad. You can ask me for money and food, but you must have the word "ask" in your attitude, whether you are forcing or asking or requesting, as long as you bring a word for asking, there is still room for negotiation. But your whole food plan is completely non-negotiable. came to the door and directly took out the posture of raiding the house, which is not very good.

Well, we admit that you picked a good time, because of all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, our social influence has shrunk significantly. The fart people are so hungry that they only recognize food and don't recognize people, and we don't have the courage to choose against it at this time.

Trampling on our dignity, we will endure it in special times. After that, you have to compensate for something, and it's a tradition to exchange gifts. Who would have thought that you would not talk about compensation for money and food, but directly tore up the IOU vouchers, and took advantage of the people's desire to scavenge some old accounts that bullied the township and neighbors, and directly started a performance to rob the family and ask for beheading!

Zhang Xiu, you're completely biting us! A tendon is determined to kill us with all means! There is no reason at all, you replace the incompetent Yuan Shu to live in Huainan, we are not unwelcome! Why do we need our money and food, and we have to take our lives for no reason?

The wealthy family in the world doesn't bully the hometown and bully the neighbors? It's just that there's a difference between elegance and brutality. Besides, bullying men and women is not a heinous crime, do you have to ask for our lives?

Do you have a hatred of the rich? No, you are also from a wealthy family in Liangzhou!

Could it be that we really had an enmity with you in our last life?

……

None of these speculations are known. But what the wealthy families are sure of is that Zhang Xiu doesn't have any good feelings for them!

Therefore, after Zhang Xiu's conquest of Jiangdong, all the wealthy families fought with the spirit of twelve points and ten percent of the strength to deal with it. Even if Zhang Xiu had very strict requirements for the military discipline of the army under his command, and kept the Jiangdong soldiers without committing any crime, any soldier would be sentenced to death as long as he took a stitch from the Jiangdong soldiers. But the wealthy families still smelled danger from behind Zhang Xiu.

In front of people, on the front line, you have indeed achieved control over the army under your command. He ordered the main army not to have any conflict with the people of Jiangdong, and ordered that as long as there was a conflict, regardless of whether the side was right or wrong, all the soldiers involved would be beheaded.

But because of the example of Huainan, the wealthy families in Jiangdong still raised their vigilance. Sure enough, behind the fact that you and Minqiu have committed no crimes, none of the two Taishou you appointed are fuel-efficient lamps!

Although Yuan Yin is a mediocre talent, he is downtrodden because of Yuan Shu, and he can only take the road of lackeys when he can only take care of his own life!

As for Shu Shao, it has not been a long time since he took office as the Taishou of Wu County, and there has been no major move. But the feat of Chengyi in the sea where the brothers once fought to the death reminded the wealthy family of the Jiangdong family, and this person was stunned when he launched a surge. When he was young, he dared to hide from his brother and kill his revenge, and I heard that his temper has increased over the years. I can't help but feel that the wealthy families in Jiangdong are not worried.

In addition, some well-intentioned people inquired a little, and found that although Shu Shao was also from a scholar family, he actually served as the first executioner in the process of Zhang Xiu's administration, which made the wealthy families of the Jiangdong family panic!

Is there no one under Zhang Xiu? He Kui, Yuan Lian, Yuan Ba, Yan Xiang and others, which one is not as famous and talented as Yuan Yin and Shu Shao? Why did Zhang Xiu appoint these two people as the magistrate of Jiangdong County?

If the signal sent by this is not obvious, but if you think of another personal appointment by Zhang Xiu, you have to lift the heart.

That is Danyang Duwei Zu Xun!

This thing is a murderous and unblinking plagiarist. Although he was born in Haoqiang, he also likes to rob other places in his life, and in Danyang County, every gang of Haoqiang can beat him!

Of course, these deeds are nothing, the key is that this thing has an enmity with Sun Ce and the Sun family!

When Sun Ce first debuted, the first defeat he ate was in the hands of Zu Xun! Sun Ce, a young man in that war, almost ended his young life rashly, and the feud between the two sides began here.

The second time was because Sun Ce couldn't swallow this breath and took the initiative to attack Zu Xun. This battle was defeated by the young and vigorous Sun Ce, Sun Ce broke several relatives, and even his younger brother Sun Quan was almost killed in a siege, if it weren't for the fierce general Zhou Tai staged a drama of "Zilong saves Adou", and took more than a dozen knives for Sun Quan, Sun Ce would have to regret it for a lifetime!

That's right, more than ten years later, Sun Quan's Northern Expedition, in front of the generals, carefully picked up the allusions of Zhou Tai's wounds and toasting and crying, among which half of the scars on Zhou Tai's body were the capital left by Zu Hao to Sun Quanchuan!

was able to defeat Sun Ce twice in a row, which is also the reason why Zu Ying, a powerful thief with a low status, was able to leave a name in history. In the same way, this also shows the excellence of Zu Xun.

Although in history, when Sun Ce went west, he captured Zu Yang and avenged the revenge of two arrows, but Zu Ying, who surrendered to Eastern Wu, has since been annihilated in the long river of history. No more faces!

It must also be known that Sun Ce also captured Tai Shici at that time. As the two major scourges of Danyang, Zu Yan's strength is actually stronger and his reputation is more obvious. After the two surrendered to Sun Ce, they were appointed to similar official positions, but later Tai Shici became a famous general in Eastern Wu, but Zu Xun was nameless all his life.

This is a real grudge.

Zhang Xiu single-handedly recruited Tai Shici and Zu Xun in Danyang, and at that time, it seemed that Zhang Xiu may have been in order to consolidate his rule in Danyang, and it was also a way to show favor to Sun Ce. But now it seems that it is completely a secret move planted by Zhang Xiu in order to conquer Jiangdong!

There is no doubt that Zu Xun, who knew that he had a deep grudge against Sun Ce, was the most supportive of Zhang Xiu in attacking Sun Ce. The wealthy families of Jiangdong could even imagine how Zu Xun, who was the governor of Danyang, would spare no effort in severing the road connection between Jiangdong and Sun Ce!

Thinking of this, as long as people are not stupid, they can see that although Zhang Xiu's expedition to Jiangnan was without warning and full motives, it was completely premeditated!

As a wealthy family, although his vision is somewhat limited, absolutely no one is a fool. The clear-eyed head of the wealthy family even concluded at a glance what kind of sinister intentions were hidden behind Zhang Xiu's Qiu Wuwu!

Let He Kui, who has a good reputation and is benevolent and kind, succeed Yuan Yin as the Taishou of Danyang, it seems that Zhang Xiu is against the massacre of the wealthy family, and he wants to influence the people of Jiangdong with benevolence, righteousness and righteousness. However, the heads of various wealthy families who are immersed in officialdom and politics have analyzed it with their butts, and He Kui's appointment as Danyang to replace Yuan Yin will definitely not be as simple as it seems.

One set of tricks in the open and one set in the dark, at most, will deceive those ignorant and ignorant villagers.
