Chapter 210: Playing Money! Hit the money! (For book friends Xu Feng)
Wei County is one of the five major counties of the Han Dynasty, and its seat of governance is in Yecheng.
Yecheng is the prosperous capital of this era, with many merchants and a prosperous market.
In today's chaotic and chaotic times, this is also a rare paradise.
Today, the four gates of the city were wide open, and everyone was nervously looking at the direction of the city gate.
Jizhou Mu Han Fu was frightened during the battle of Tiger Pass, and he returned to Jizhou to get by, watching Yuan Shao wantonly annex Jizhou forces.
When Wang Xiao personally led the army from Guandu to cross the Yellow River into Wei County, Han Fu did not resist, but directly chose to surrender.
Han Fu is not ambitious, and he is a kind-hearted person recorded in the history books. He did not resist the slightest resubmission to the imperial court.
Wang Xiao agreed to let him continue to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, which was even better.
What the people in the city are most worried about now is Wang Xiao's drastic treatment of the Haoqiang family.
The first one, direct confiscation plus raiding and arresting.
The second is to sell more than ninety percent of the land in his hand at the current price, so that he can earn a living in exchange for stealing money.
No matter which one it is, it is difficult to accept for the powerful families who depend on the land for their lives.
It's a pity that Wang Xiao didn't give them any other choice in addition.
The powerful people thought that Wang Xiao was going to cut their flesh and pick their bones. But he doesn't remember how he got the land in his hands, and how many people's blood was stained.
It really doesn't matter, only those who don't have much land and are mainly engaged in business.
When the army finally entered the city, a column of armor soldiers marched forward with heavy steps, holding shields and raising their blades.
The armor was followed by the cavalry of the Yulin Army and the Wolf Cavalry of the Annex.
These knights on tall horses are the glory of the Han Empire.
They destroyed the Xiongnu in the north and expanded the Western Regions in the west. Feng Wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran. Spread the prestige of the Han family all over the world.
Seeing thousands of knights entering the city side by side, the people in Ye City finally felt the prestige of the Great Han who had been lost for many years.
In the Assassin's Mansion, Wang Xiao sat on the head.
On the left are many Jizhou civil and military officials headed by Han Fu. On the right is the powerful family in Wei County who is willing to accept Wang Xiao's conditions and lose their sincerity to him.
Those who don't want to accept it don't need to come anymore.
Those people either fled to Yuan Shao's side, or they stuck to their own dock fort and prepared to trap the beasts.
"Do you think I'm going too hard?"
Wang Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged, swept his eyes over the heroes who were willing to hand over ninety percent of the land.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
These people said that they didn't dare, but the expressions on their faces directly exposed their thoughts.
Wang Xiao shook his head, these people still lacked cultivation. I can't even do it with different hearts and mouths, which is really a shame for Confucianism.
"You should all have read the book, do you know about Emperor Xiaowu?"
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously, not understanding what Wang Xiao meant by suddenly mentioning Emperor Sejong.
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Then do you know how Zhang Tang, Zhao Yu, Yi Zong, Ning Cheng and others dealt with local Haoqiang back then?" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone finally understood.
In fact, from the time of Liu Bang, they knew the dangers of local tyrants.
At the beginning, the Wenjing era was still dealing with them with relatively mild means. It is to migrate the heroes from all over the world to the vicinity of various cemeteries and gather them into a prosperous bazaar.
But in Liu Che's era, those cool officials were much more cruel in dealing with Haoqiang.
When these people arrived in the local county, the first thing they had to do was to ask who the most famous local heroes were. Then the troops were sent to the past to directly seal the door and kill all the people, and all the family property was confiscated as military funds to fight against the Huns.
At that time, the battle between the Han family and the Xiongnu was at a critical moment, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty were in urgent need of material support.
Wei Qinghuo and others on the front line kept stretching out their hands to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and shouting loudly, "Hit the money!" Hit the money! ”
The red-eyed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty simply played the game of raiding the house after the white deer skin could no longer deceive people.
At that time, the family was strong, and it was called a real miserable.
"Looks like you know."
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Do you still think I'm too ruthless?" ”
Indeed, compared with the Han Wu period, Wang Xiao was really very gentle towards the family Haoqiang.
Theoretically, if these families continue to develop like this. The final result was no different from the Warring States period of Fuso.
When the time comes, the places will be full of power, and all the places will be in chaos.
Instead of being sent south by the tribes on the grassland to drink the Yellow River at that time, it was better for him to eradicate these tumors first.
The people present recalled the methods of those cool officials during the Han Wu period, and suddenly felt that Wang Xiao was too kind.
The previous battle of Tiger Prison Pass had completely broken the confidence of the powerful people in the Kanto counties.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Xiao to convince these people with his mouth.
The fists are not hard, and no one will listen to what is spoken.
Wang Xiao stayed in Yecheng for nearly a month.
His plan was to give the Kanto prefectures a chance to unite again.
The essence of the Han Dynasty is still in the Yellow River area, as long as the powerful coalition army here is defeated, then only one soldier and one document can be done in various places.
As for Gangnam, although it has been developed for many years. But it really became the most important place for grain production and wealth income in the world, and it still had to wait for the introduction of Champong rice and the large-scale cultivation of mulberry hemp.
But what Wang Xiao didn't expect was that instead of forming an alliance again, many people secretly sent envoys to contact him, wanting to return to the imperial court.
For example, Gongsun Zhan, who was knocked off his horse by Wang Xiao with a shot in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, was the first to send someone to ask for return to the imperial court.
In fact, among the original princes of the Eighteen Routes, only Gongsun Zhan and Dong Zhuo were real border troops. The others led a militia team with county soldiers as the backbone, and the sons and servants of the powerful and strong.
Gongsun Zhan saw that it was impossible for the Yuan family to push Chen Liuwang to the throne, so he couldn't wait to jump to Wang Xiao's side.
In addition to the reluctance of the soldiers and horses under his command to be rebellious, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is also a huge threat to Gongsun Zhan.
After that, there were Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and others all wanted to jump to Wang Xiao's side.
As for the reason, of course, it was because Wang Xiao pardoned Han Fu and let him continue to serve as the pastor of Jizhou.
In the eyes of these people, Wang Xiao's support for Liu Wei and Yuan Shao's promotion of Chen Liuwang are actually the same. The two of them compete for power, and these people naturally choose to stand on the side of the big win.
Zhang Miao, Kong Ling, Liu Dai and others are actually members of the Yuan family. The fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family, it is not a joke that their power is all over the world.
Coupled with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Zhi, the so-called Kwantung Coalition Army can actually be called the Yuan Army.
Now these people see that the Yuan family can't beat Wang Xiao, and changing jobs is naturally the wisest choice.
As for Cao Cao, his current strength is very weak. There are only thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he doesn't even have a stable territory, so he can only be pinned on Yuan Shao's command.
It wasn't until Wang Xiao figured this out that he suddenly came over. Now is not the Jian'an period, and his opponent is far less powerful than he imagined.
During the time they stayed in Yecheng, the powerful people of Wei County kept feasting Wang Xiao and wanted to pull a relationship.
At the banquet, there are often beautiful singers and unmarried women from various families flashing in front of Wang Xiao, just looking forward to someone being taken by Wang Xiao.
This kind of thing is regarded as a matter of course in the Han Dynasty, otherwise how could there be a dictatorship of foreign relatives.
Now it's just a matter of shifting the target from the puppet emperor to the powerful general.
For these temptations, Wang Xiao has always been a righteous reprimand.
He's not that kind of person!
Then he would go to every feast. But he didn't go to see the beautiful singers, but just to drink.
On this day, Wang Xiao participated in the banquet of the Zhen family, a famous wealthy businessman in Yecheng.
When drinking, Wang Xiao took the initiative to ask Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, if there is a girl named Zhen Mi in your family.
A song of Luo Shen Fu, let Zhen Mi's name be passed down for thousands of years. Wang Xiao also wanted to meet this goddess who made Cao Zijian fascinated.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the strange gaze of the Zhen family, Wang Xiao was also puzzled.
Yes is yes, no is no. What do you mean by looking at XX?
"It's okay, the little sister can be favored by the general, it's really a blessing for three lives."
Zhen Yan hurriedly called someone to call Zhen Mi over.
When Zhen Mi came over, Wang Xiao understood why the Zhen family looked at him with that expression before.
Without waiting for the smiling Zhen Yan to speak, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and stood up.
"Military affairs are in the body, and there are still things to do, so I will leave first."
Wang Xiao strode away without squinting, and he didn't dare to look at Zhen Mi's puzzled gaze at all.
"XX's, this oolong is making a big fuss."
Wang Xiao, who was frightened and covered with beads of sweat, hurriedly left the Zhen Mansion, he really didn't expect this to be the case.
The frightened Wang Xiao didn't even dare to stay in Yecheng, and left in a hurry the next day with his soldiers and horses, and killed Yuan Shao directly.
Previously, Wang Xiao imagined his opponent to be too strong, and he was much more cautious in his actions.
Now that he has finally woken up, his biggest opponent Yuan Shao is just a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre, so naturally he will not be polite anymore.
As long as Yuan Shao can be defeated, all parts of the Han country can basically be regarded as surrendered.
When the time comes, as long as you clean up the powerful in various places and reunite your strength, you can turn your eyes to the outside.
For Yuan Shao at this time, everyone else can jump to Wang Xiao's big ship, but he can't jump.
He supported King Chen as the emperor, and no opponent would let him go.
Moreover, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family spent countless hours and painstaking efforts to establish a huge force, and he was not willing to be defeated in his hands.
As an extremely proud person, Yuan Shao was unwilling to sit on the power of the Yuan family, but he lost to a good family.
The red-eyed Yuan Shao gathered all his strength and led his soldiers and horses to a decisive battle with Wang Xiao in Julu County.
Xiang Yu once fought here with his back and defeated the Great Qin Army, which dominated the world.
Yuan Shao also wanted to learn from the overlord of Chu, hoping to defeat the powerful Wang Xiao in one battle.
Wang Xiao didn't know Yuan Shao's thoughts, and he wouldn't care if he knew.
He said that the battlefield could be set anywhere, and then silently discharged the musketeers that had already taken shape.
