Episode 152: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
Since the end of the first battle of Licheng, the entire territory of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Xiao Lan, the work of fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields is in full swing, and the army is also rapidly reorganized, at the same time, the work of judging the scholars is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and every day there are many evil scholars who are publicly beheaded!
Although Xiao Lan had already predicted the darkness of the scholars in this era, when he really came into contact with these dark sides, he was shocked to find that this darkness was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Except for a few young people, almost every member of the clan had a variety of crimes on their hands, and the vast majority of them were guilty enough to be beheaded.
Xiao Lan has no intention of keeping his hands, according to the Taiping Constitution and Code sorted out by Brilliant No. 1, all those who should be killed are killed, and none of them are left!
Since then, Xiao Lan has won the hearts of the people of the entire Qingzhou, and with the fact that he fights local tyrants and divides the land, it continues to spread and spread all over the world, and he will also usher in the hearts of the people all over the world, of course, with the hostility of the scholars!
However, since Xiao Lan has already made a choice between the people and the scholars, no matter what the outcome is, he also admits it all, and there is no perfect thing in this world.
Moreover, after bulldozing the remnants of the Shi clan in Qingzhou, his harvest is not only the hearts of the people, but also the fat and ointment of the people who have been harvested by the Shi clan for many years, and they have obtained countless amounts of money and food, even if they do not produce, it is enough for 300,000 Taiping troops to eat for two years, and they are very rich!
Xu He, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Yu Poison and others, who were born in the Yellow Turban Army, couldn't help but sigh, they thought they were robbers when they were in the Yellow Turban Army before, but, in comparison, these warrior clan gate lords are the biggest robbers in the world!
Again, there are pros and cons, without these scholars, there is a serious shortage of officials in Qingzhou, and some cities are even unmanaged. Although the people's hearts are available at this time, it is not a long-term solution after all. In desperation, he had to issue a recruitment order, indicating that talented and learned people in Qingzhou came out to become officials.
Fortunately. Although Qingzhou, which has been in turmoil for many years, does not have any great talents, but the people who govern one side can still be found, coupled with the development strategy, rules and regulations, Taiping Constitution, etc., formulated by Xiao Lan with the help of Brilliant No. 1, it also made Qingzhou quickly settle down.
Subsequently. Xiao Lan launched several advanced policies according to the ideas of later generations, first of all, the Taiping Army officials came forward to run schools in various places, implement compulsory education, and do not seek to become talents, at least to eliminate illiteracy, so as to break the cultural monopoly of the scholars!
Second, the establishment of civil and military examinations. In addition, it is necessary to prohibit officials from engaging in things other than being officials, so as not to use power for personal gain and compete with the people for profit.
Seeing that Qingzhou is becoming more and more prosperous by Xiao Lan. At this time, the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes finally defeated Bishui Pass, which is really thanks to Guan Erye's righteous action!
But it is said that on that day, when the princes of all walks of life were forced by Huaxiong's strength, no one dared to stand up to fight. Suddenly, a loud voice came from the crowd:
"Enlighten the alliance leader, the last general is willing to fight!"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they turned their heads to look, but they saw that the person who spoke was a big man who was nine feet tall, with a face like red dates, and a three-foot long beard.
And by his side. It was Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this Liu Bei has also obtained a position in the Plains Order, but in the end, he had to abandon the official and leave because he offended the eunuchs. After that, he has been taking Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him, wandering around in this big man, wanting to see if there is any chance to get ahead.
However, in this year, if you want to get ahead in a short period of time, there are only two ways, one is to be rich, and the other is to have connections, but unfortunately he Liu Bei has nothing. In fact, he also thought about going to his fellow senior brother Gongsun Zhan, but a few years ago, Gongsun Chan himself was just a captain who protected Wuheng, and he had no future at all.
This back and forth made him Liu Bei not even have a place to settle down, and it wasn't until now that he heard that Cao Cao had issued a document to beg for thieves, and he didn't come to see if there was a chance in this sour jujube alliance. Originally, with the identity of the three of them, they were really not qualified to participate in such an alliance, but fortunately, there was Gongsun Zhan, at least he was brought in.
Then he Liu Bei quietly threw out his identity as a relative of the Han family, although the princes still disdainful him, but at least he remembered the name Liu Bei.
"Who are you, and what is your current position?" Yuan Shu sneered, he Yuan Shu's most important identity, he naturally disdains Liu Bei, a grassroots Han clan member, and even looks down on Liu Bei's two brothers with him.
"Horse archer." Guan Yu replied without arrogance or impatience.
Yuan Shu laughed shamefully and said angrily: "If it is known that our allies only send one horse archers to fight, it will not be a shame for all of us." ”
"That's also better than the generals under the general!" Sun Jiandang snorted coldly, "I didn't hold up a single move, and I was slaughtered by others!" ”
"Sun Jian, what do you mean!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily.
Sun Jian snorted coldly without showing weakness: "What do you think I mean, I mean what I mean, what's wrong, you still want to turn against me?" ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to break out, Gongsun Chan hurriedly said: "The enemy is now, and the two of them are going to quarrel again." Yuan Shao said: "The alliance leader can rest assured, I think this Guan Yunchang's martial arts are extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to kill Hua Xiong." Gongsun Zhan still has confidence in saying this, when he was in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, he had also seen Guan Yu's martial arts, at least, it should be more than enough to deal with Na Huaxiong.
"Alliance leader, I see that the strong man has an extraordinary appearance, and he can stand up at this time, and he thinks that he has something to rely on, so it is better to let him fight." Cao Cao also helped on the side.
He has always loved talents, and when the Yellow Turban War was fought, he and the three brothers Liu Bei had already dealt with each other, and knew that Guan Yu's ability was really extraordinary, so he had a heart of love for talents and wanted to win over Guan Yu.
Seeing that Gongsun Zhan and Cao Cao both said this, Yuan Shao also nodded, and said to Guan Yu: "Are you willing to stand up for the military order." ”
"If you can't kill this Huaxiong, come and see you!" Guan Yu said without hesitation.
"Good! Then the alliance leader will order you to fight Huaxiong! Yuan Shao shouted loudly.
"No!" Guan Yu immediately came out in response, and was about to go out of battle, but saw Cao Cao Wen come forward with a cup of wine, and said, "Please drink this cup to strengthen your courage." ”
"It's okay, it's expected that Huaxiong, but the one who inserts the label and sells the head, he will go back if he goes." Guan Yu spoke proudly, and then raised his sword and went out to meet the strong enemy.
Everyone was laughing at Guan Yu's words in their hearts, but the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened, Hua Xiong, who was invincible in the eyes of the princes, was actually beheaded by Guan Yu in three moves, and when Guan Yu returned with Hua Xiong's head, the glass of wine that Cao Cao poured him was still warm.
At this moment, everyone's eyes on Liu Bei were different, no matter what, to have such a fierce general, he Liu Bei is also worthy of a high glance from them.
Cao Cao's eyes burst out with a fine light, although he knew that this Guan Yu's strength was not weak, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, but it was not the time to be shocked at this moment, and hurriedly shouted to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, Huaxiong is dead, please quickly order troops to take Bishui Pass." ”
Yuan Shao also hurriedly reacted, and hurriedly shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to take the Bishui Pass." ”
With Yuan Shao's order, the allied forces rushed out and killed towards the water pass.
After Li Su knew that even Huaxiong was dead, after resisting at will, he knew that he was invincible, so he did not hesitate to give up Bishui Pass, and went in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass with the remnants of the defeated army. And the Allies also easily took the Bishui Pass.
After a great victory, the Allies rested for a few days at Bishui Pass, and the army immediately set out, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and launched an attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, which has the first pass in the world. (To be continued.) )
