"Lord Qi, the entire territory of Yuzhou has been taken, but when our army attacked the major scholars, it encountered stubborn resistance, with no less than 5,000 casualties, and the battle losses in various places are in the statistics, and they will be reported soon, especially the Yangzhai resistance entrenched by the scholars......"

"Lord Qi, a letter from Yangzhou, General Wei Yan has captured Shouchun, and is currently conquering the six counties of Jiangdong, there are Lu Su, Jiang Gan, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao, Chen Wu, He Qi and others have successively attached to the Taiping Army, the Gu family of Eastern Wu tried in vain to organize people to rebel against the Taiping Army, and was exterminated by the whole clan, the land was divided equally among the people of Jiangdong, the hearts of the Taiping army and the people of Jiangdong rose greatly, and the people of Jiangdong responded to the annexation, and the war was very smooth......"

"Lord Qiyu, Liu Biao of Jingzhou mobilized the army, and Huang Zu, Wen Ping and other generals led the army to guard the border, as if defending against the surprise attack of our army, General Huang Zhong personally led 50,000 troops, and confronted the Jingzhou official army on the border line, General Huang sent a request to ask, whether to enter Jingzhou ......"

"Lord Qi, the battle report of the Tiger Prison Pass has come, Dong Zhuo has withdrawn the army, the Eighteenth Route Princes Coalition Army has captured the Tiger Prison Pass, and has learned the movement of our army, Cao Cao Jinyan, the alliance leader Yuan Shao presided over the division of troops, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao, Tao Qian's six major princes The coalition army of 130,000 people returned from Sizhou, and they are already on the ......way to fight back against our army."

Listening to the battle reports from everywhere, Xiao Lan did not see the slightest emotional wave in his eyes, although Wei Yan's personal combat strength was not as good as Huang Zhong, but the commander's ability was above Huang Zhong, coupled with Chen Deng's assistance, it was expected that the 100,000 army would take Yangzhou, and the annexation of Lu Su, Jiang Gan, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others undoubtedly led the Taiping army to make great progress.

The Taiping army seized the land of five states in a row, occupying half of the Han Dynasty, it was normal for Liu Biao in Jingzhou to send troops to defend, and it was normal for the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Route to have a large army to fight back, all of which were expected by Xiao Lan, but the strength of the Yuzhou Shi clan still made Xiao Lan feel a big headache.

In this battle, he dispatched his troops quickly and attacked rapidly. However, there is still a terrible thing that is overlooked, that is, the strength of the wealthy families, the private soldiers of these wealthy families. It seems ordinary, but all of them are good at fighting, they are proficient in fist and foot strategy, brave in battle, and often fight down. All of them were able to inflict heavy losses on the Taiping Army.

The influence of the wealthy scholars, Xiao Lan knows, the terrible of the wealthy scholars, Xiao Lan also knows that the wealthy scholars in the Three Kingdoms era monopolized the official career, the Eastern Han Dynasty officials, the top ten of the ** from the wealthy family, the poor family has no way out, monopolizing the official career. It controlled the superstructure, controlled the public opinion of the imperial court, these powerful and wealthy scholars, naturally, controlled the economic lifeline of the Han Dynasty, when the political power and economy were in the hands of the scholars, the people revolted to overthrow the Han Dynasty, the difficulties they faced, the hardships they faced, were unimaginable.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is a prime example of failure. However, the poor people want to turn over, and there is no other way to overthrow the court. Not restricting the scholars is simply delusional.

The reason why Xiao Lan's Taiping army was able to achieve its current results was entirely because Xiao Lan chose the right time, at this time, when the princes' coalition army was fighting with Dong Zhuo, and the state capitals were empty, it was also because he used the right means. It has won the hearts and minds of the people and has received the full support of the people.

"Lord, although we have captured the entire Yuzhou, however, these wealthy families are still resisting, I didn't expect that the private soldiers in their family are so terrifying......" Zhou Cang came to Xiao Lan covered in blood, his face was full of unwillingness, and his eyes were shocked and fierce.

"Huh...... Don't raise the morale of others, extinguish your own prestige, now Yuzhou is in my hands, the Taiping army has 100,000 troops stationed here, pass on my words, tell those wealthy families, if they continue to resist stubbornly, waiting for them will be the most miserable dead end, if you give up resistance, cooperate with the Taiping Army's land reform, have the courage to admit mistakes, make up for the victims, maybe there is still a way to live......"

Xiao Lan spoke in a deep voice, and between his words, he was full of cold killing: "All in all, you just have to let it go, the Taiping Army will definitely not take the lead in compromising with the Shi clan, just see if they are deep-rooted, or the Taiping Army's butcher's knife is sharp!" ”

"No!" Zhou Cang replied in a deep voice: "With the words of the lord, I will rest assured, within three days, I Zhou Cang promises that I will definitely eliminate the resistance of the scholars in Yuzhou!" ”

Seeing Zhou Cang go away, Xiao Lan immediately ordered Huang Zhong to defeat the Jingzhou army led by Wen Ping and Huang Zu at the fastest speed in the plain. At the same time, many orders were issued one by one, such as Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin were transferred to the border of Qingzhou and Jizhou, Bai Rao Gengling was transferred to Xuzhou to change the defense, and Chen Dao, Zang Ba, and Yu Ban defended Yanzhou.

Xiao Lan personally sat in Yuzhou, Zhou Cang, Liu Bi, Gong Du led the troops to suppress the wealthy scholars, all those who resisted, no matter what they killed, for a while, the Yuzhou scholars, such as the end of the day, although there are elite private guards, but after all, they are scattered everywhere, can not withstand the Taiping Army's army attack, plus the Taiping Army won the hearts of the people, with the support of the broad masses of the people, no matter how they do, they can not escape the people's surveillance.

With the full support of the people, many of the wealthy clans who took the lead to resist the Taiping Army were all wiped out, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, which made the rest of the wealthy clans close their doors and families, and did not take the initiative to attack the Taiping Army, nor did they show sincerity, obviously waiting and watching.

However, both they and the Taiping army knew that there was not much time left for them to consider, and under the butcher's knife, surrender and death were destined to have only one way to go.

Xiao Lan didn't have the heart to care about these for the time being, he was on his way to Yingchuan Academy, which was known as the place that gave birth to countless talents in the late Han Dynasty, the military production base, he naturally wanted to patronize it.

Yingchuan Academy, located in the suburbs of Yangzhai outside the halfway of a mountain peak, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, although everywhere today, the war is in full swing, thousands of miles of red fields, here is a paradise, no wonder those literati and wise men choose to live here.

However, now here, there is a strong sense of slaughter in the silence, because as early as when Xiao Lan led the army to capture Yingchuan, Xu Chu had already been sent to lead people to surround this place.

Yingchuan Academy, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, gathered the famous strategists and strategists of the Three Kingdoms era, its important surname, Xiao Lan is clear, no accident, this net, will definitely be able to catch a lot of big fish, as for those wealthy scholars in other places in Yuzhou, there are bloody suppressions by Zhou Cang and others, I believe they can't play any tricks.

Xiao Lan walked and came to the front of Yingchuan Academy as if playing in the mountains and rivers, the famous Yingchuan Academy, there is no tall wall, no gilded plaque, no brass beast-faced door knocker, the low wall is painted snow-white, and the wooden door is obviously open for a long time, and there is a black lacquer and red wooden plaque hanging above the main entrance, which has four big words: Yingchuan Academy, signed: Mr. Shui Jing. The font is strong and powerful, red and black reflect each other, red as blood, black as the night sky, perfectly combined, calm and dignified.

"See the lord!" Seeing Xiao Lan coming closer, Xu Chu, who was guarding the door with his troops, hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Zhong Kang, is there any change in that group of scholars?" Xiao Lan asked indifferently, the beating gaze in his eyes flashed with a hint of indescribable meaning.

"Back to my lord, no." Xu Chu scratched his head, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "It's just a group of nerds, they are all honest, they know how to read and read every day, lord, can you not let me Lao Xu do this work, I would rather fight the local tyrants and divide the land among the people, which is much more interesting than this." ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, you know, the people here are all talents, what our Taiping Army lacks now is this kind of talent, look at it, even if it is pulled back to teach, it is good." ”

Xu Chu answered, not speaking, Xiao Lan knew that it was really wronged to let a top fierce general like him stay in front of such a mountain academy, but there was no way to do it, these scholars were not simple, there were many powerful people among them, and only a top fierce general like Xu Chu could suppress them.

"Guard this place, give orders to go down, this is the important place of the academy, you can't disturb it, and you can't go in or out!" Xiao Lan patted Xu Chu on the shoulder, then threw the blade he was carrying to him, and then Shi Shiran walked towards the interior of the academy.

Across the courtyard gate, walk through the bluestone road, is facing a big house, the house is square, the blue bricks are built, there are carved tiles, the center of the house is a big incense case, the portrait of Confucius hangs behind the incense case, there are a few sticks of incense in the brass incense burner, the cigarette slowly rises, Zhejiang and Zhejiang are scattered, through the side door, it is the place to read, the low table is full of books, the cushions are scattered around, the exquisite guqin is placed aside, Xiao Lan gently plucked the strings, the tone is mellow and crisp, he smiled to himself, and then went to the courtyard next to him...... …… (To be continued.) )
