Chapter 570: Entering and Occupying the Upper County

An arrow rang out, shocking the audience.

For a moment, almost everyone opened their mouths wide at once, and their eyes stared at the arrow in the air stupidly.

"Ah......h

On the upper floor of the city, Zhao Yuan also saw the long arrow that came in front of him in the blink of an eye, he exclaimed in fright, his eyes were bulging, and his face turned pale all of a sudden.

He stepped back subconsciously.

On his left and right, there were basically civil and military officials of all sizes in Shangjun, and at this time, they also saw this arrow shot at Taishou, but they couldn't do anything at all in this short time of one or two breaths.

Some of the soldiers who were a little farther away reacted and shouted to be careful.

However, time seemed to stand still.

Whether it was the civil and military officials, or the soldiers, they could only have time to let out an exclamation, and at most a few people drew half of their swords.

All of them seemed to be posing for action, with frightened expressions and stiff movements.

Burst!

The sharp arrow was not affected by everyone's gaze, it was just like a devastating one, shooting straight at Zhaoyuan's chest.

The moment the blood shot into Zhaoyuan's chest, a bright red blood splashed out.

The strength of the arrow was very strong, and it directly brought Zhaoyuan's retreating body off the ground, as if it was blown by the wind, and with a bang, his back hit a wooden pillar on the city wall.

The arrow pierced through the body and nailed Zhaoyuan directly to the wooden pillar.

"Taishou-sama!"

The big and small officials of Shangjun seemed to be able to move at this time, and they screamed and rushed to Zhaoyuan one by one.

"Liu, Liu Xianhe, he dared to ...... Uh......"

Zhao Yuan's face was distorted, his eyes were full of horror, and he couldn't believe it and looked at the blood arrow that pierced his body in his chest, and after saying this, a mouthful of blood came out, and he lost his breath with a tilt of his head.

"Not good! Taishou was shot! ”

"Recruit adults!"

"Recruit adults!"

……

The city was in chaos in an instant.

The Taishou of a county was killed like this, and it is indeed an extremely serious matter for the Han Dynasty at this moment, the Taishou of a county was killed.

Under normal circumstances, killing the county prince is tantamount to rebellion, and the court will investigate.

So, who didn't think of it? Liu Xian is so bold? directly ordered and ordered someone to shoot Zhaoyuan.

A county is too guarded? It is indeed equivalent to a prince. Look at the chaos of Xiliang now? In fact, it was Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other officials in Jinwei County who were caught in the rebellion, so it developed to the current point. Now? These rebels already have 100,000 people.

Zhaoyuan in Shangjun? How many years have you been in business? It is already possible to control twenty or thirty thousand Shangjun military horses. As far as the situation of the Han is concerned, an army of 20,000 or 30,000 is already considered to have a strong strength. Looking at Ding Yuan, who is too guarded by the state, there must be a lot of military horses in the entire state? But? In addition to guarding the border and the officials and soldiers of various counties and counties, the military horses he can mobilize at will are actually tens of thousands of horses.

Later, when he led the army into Beijing to compete with Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan only arrived in the capital with more than 30,000 military horses.

Zhaoyuan, can he transfer twenty or thirty thousand men to the county seat now? That's because many of the counties and towns under his rule have been conquered by foreigners. But because he had collusion with those aliens? In fact, the officers and men of the government in those counties and towns did not suffer much loss. In the case of his exclusion of dissidents? The officers and soldiers of the government who had submitted to him were all under his control. Those county and town government officers and soldiers? Together? There are today's centaurs.

But is it such a county that has vaguely the strength to stand on its own? And so he was shot.

"Listen to the people of the city! Shangjun was too guarded and Zhaoyuan, as an official of the Han court, but he did not ask for the life of the people under his rule, but colluded with the Huns and thieves to bring disaster to the people of Shangjun. Now, the people of Shangjun are complaining, and the people are boiling with anger. ”

"Marquis Wu Yong, ordered by the emperor, came to Shangjun to settle the people, this not only refers to the Han people who migrated from the capital Luoyang, but also includes the people of Shangjun. From now on, the people of the entire upper county can get the same treatment as the people of Zengshan County, and the whole county will immediately carry out a rectification, so that the people of all parts of the upper county can live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer be bullied by any foreign tribe. ”

"Shangjun is too guarded and far away, and he dares to support his own troops, not let Marquis Wu Yong enter the city, rectify the official government of Shangjun, and not let Marquis Wu Yong govern the people of Shangjun, it is really a great crime, and now, he has been shot on the spot! The people of Pingshang County are angry. “

"In the mind of Marquis Wu Yong, there is no Han difference, all are the people of the Han Dynasty, as long as the tribesmen are sincerely obedient to the Han court, willing to accept the resettlement arrangements of Marquis Wu Yong, and no longer cause trouble to the people, everything before can be blamed in the past, when will you wait? Why don't you open the city gate and welcome Marquis Wu Yong into the city? ”

A few guys with very loud voices stood in front of the military horses and shouted loudly to the county town.

"Nonsense! Everyone shouts to listen to their nonsense! They are indiscriminately killing the officials of the imperial court, so Marquis Wu Yong is going to raise troops to rebel. They all guarded the city wall for their own army, and they must not open the city gate, and they must not let Liu Xian's men and horses enter the city! ”

At the head of the city, Huo Dong was already frightened, a county Taishou said that he would kill him, so he and Zhaoyuan wore the same pants, if Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, entered the city, then how could he still be alive?

At this time, he also hurriedly jumped out, seized control of the upper county, and ordered the people below not to listen to the shouts of the military horses below, and to hold the city.

"The sergeant on the county town, I, Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, came here on the orders of the emperor to get rid of corrupt officials like Zhaoyuan. However, let's not talk about these now, now, Ben Hou represents the Han court, if you dare to disobey Ben Hou's orders, then all of them are regarded as rebellion, and everyone is a capital crime. As you all know, there is no justification for rebellion, and there is only a dead end. Think about it again, do you have to follow Zhaoyuan and Huo Dong to the dark. ”

"Give you half an hour time, if you don't open the city gate and let Benhou enter the city, then you are rebellious, and when the time comes, Benhou will only have to wave his army to attack the city. Wait for everyone, the whole family will be beheaded! ”

"Don't think that you can defend the county town with 20,000 or 30,000 horses now. Ben Hou can bring in more troops and horses to attack the city at any time. Lord Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, had already sent his subordinate general, General Zhang Liao, to lead the army to support Benhou. If you provoke the imperial army, you will all die without a place to bury. ”

Liu Xian was lucky at this time, and threatened loudly again.

Officials at all levels in the upper county, and then the officers and soldiers of the government below, are actually ordered by Zhaoyuan.

However, now that Zhaoyuan is dead, and they have no leader, they are all panicked at this time.

However, they usually follow Zhaoyuan and sink into the same breath as Zhaoyuan, but they never thought of rebelling.

Now that Zhaoyuan is dead, it's useless for them to say anything. Even if Zhaoyuan is not dead, it is useless.

A county is too guarded, although it has great power in the local area, it can indeed be said that it can be said to be a force. But they are nothing in the imperial court, and a county is too guarded, and they usually have no chance to go to the court.

In other words, even if they wanted to clarify to the court that they were not rebelling or anything, they had no chance.

Under such circumstances, Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, who can enter and leave the palace at will, can say whatever he wants.

What else can they do?

Some of Zhaoyuan's confidants, those civil and military officials who are very close to him, they naturally dare not open the city gate, even if they are forced, they have to rely on the people and horses in their hands now, according to the county town of Shangjun, and do not let Liu Xian enter the city, in order to get a temporary life.

But the key is that Zhaoyuan is dead, and their control over the officials and officers and soldiers below the county cannot be as rigorous as Zhaoyuan.

Under Liu Xian's threat, they will more or less begin to think about their own problems.

Rebellion is indeed a capital crime, and if they dare to prevent Liu Xian from entering the city, it is a rebellion, and this is also indefensible to them.

It's okay, who wants to die? And will it still involve the life of the whole family?

And the entire Shangjun Government will never be able to personally collude with Zhaoyuan, Huo Dong and others. There will always be many people who are not used to seeing the actions of Zhaoyuan, Huo Dong and others.

Even some officers and soldiers do not say that they are all of the same mind as Zhaoyuan.

Usually, they are only limited to Zhaoyuan's superiors, and they have to compromise and obey Zhaoyuan's orders.

Zhaoyuan is dead, so the influence on this part of the people is equivalent to no one at once.

In such a situation, who wants to die with Zhaoyuan, who is already dead?

At this time, Liu Xian had already had people go to the other gates of Shangjun County to shout.

In this way, the defenders of the county town of Shangjun finally had a commotion.

After Liu Xian came to Shangjun, it was no secret that there was a stalemate in Shangjun and the Shangjun government. followed Liu Xian to Zengshan County, and everything he did in Zengshan County has long been passed on to Shangjun County.

Many of them, officers and soldiers, generals, etc., who really still have a big heart in their hearts, at this time, their hearts fell to Liu Xian.

At least, they all understand a truth, for a landless snake like Zhaoyuan, if they are under the rule of Marquis Wu Yong, the situation will definitely be better than now.

Therefore, when someone turned his heart sideways and shouted out that he had rebelled against the county government and joined Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, he responded to the crowd and reversed it all at once.

Among them, there were also some military generals, who led the people who were willing to join them against the Shangjun government and planned to join Liu Xian, and directly attacked the city wall of the main city tower.

In this way, before the people brought by Liu Xian started, there was a fierce battle at the head of the county town.

At the same time, except for the south gate, the other city gates have been opened.

Liu Xian did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Zhang Liao, Xiang Liyue, Luo Hai and others to lead their military horses into the city and quickly control the city gates and walls.

Not long after, the south gate was also opened, and Liu Xian directly took Zhou Cang, Xiang Lishanyue (Tie Niu), Laishan Ash and others into the city, and the military horses behind also swarmed in at the same time.

Xiang Lishan Yue took the lead in rushing to kill the head of Shangcheng, and smashed Huo Dong, who was still resisting, to death, and the rest of the Shangjun officials or officers and soldiers who still dared to resist were all slashed and killed with knives.

The sudden shouting of killing in Shangjun did make the people in the city panic, but it did not cause chaos in the county.

After Liu Xian ordered all the troops and horses to enter the city, he quickly controlled the city gate and city walls. Then he sent out fast horses and ran around the city to give orders, ordering all the people to stay at home and not to go out.

In this way, Shangjun is equivalent to completely falling into the hands of Liu Xian.

After entering and occupying the upper county office, one order after another was issued.

The officials of the upper county government were purged first, and those officials who dared to resist and had been killed immediately sent people to raid their homes and confiscate their family property. And those officials who temporarily rebelled against the county government, as well as the generals of the officers and soldiers, will be given certain rewards depending on the situation. Of course, if they themselves have committed a lot of crimes, and it is not a pity to die, they will be detained first, and then dealt with separately after verification, their lives may be saved for the time being, but the money they have stolen with Zhaoyuan and others over the years will definitely not be saved.

At the same time, that is, An Min.

Three days later, Liu Xian ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, but this was not too much, only from the grain obtained from the raid, a part of it was taken out to distribute to the people in the county town, so that the people could get a little sweetness first, so that their temporary life could continue.

What follows is the re-rectification of the people.

Register the household registration of the people in the county, and then govern according to their respective conditions.

The main thing is that they were originally wealthy families in Shangjun, and these families did not need help from the government. And then according to their mouths in the county, if it is good, then Liu Xian will not only not do anything to them, but will also support them.

For example, a wealthy household. Their family is in the tea business, and in normal times, they buy and sell fairly, and they will do some good deeds from time to time, and the people have a good impression of them.

For such wealthy merchants, the government will not liquidate their family's property, and will support them to continue to operate.

There are also some landlords, whose families own a lot of land. Supposedly, a large part of them had to be taken back to the government and then distributed to the common people who had no land to cultivate.

However, the people reported that even when they spoke for their families, they rented land for them to cultivate, and never oppressed them, even if the government wanted to increase the land tax, the landlord's family would not increase the taxes on the people who rented their fields. Even, when the harvest is lost, he will exempt the servant's field tax.

For such conscientious landlords, Liu Xian will also give them preferential policies, and will not return their fields to the government.

In doing so, Liu Xian actually won over the hearts of some middle- and upper-class people.

In this ancient era, it was impossible for Liu Xian to copy the set of later generations, and sometimes he did need to be flexible.

Anyway, you can come as good as you want, and you don't have to sell and buy a pole.
