Meanwhile.

Just when the war between the Han and Wei sides in the land of Yongliang and Jin was in full swing, the war in the southeast dominated by Jiangxia also kicked off.

General Wei and other ministries came to help one after another, and all the generals took Cao Xiu's horse as the head to discuss countermeasures.

After some discussion, Cao Xiu ordered Wen to still lead the sergeants of the Jiangxia headquarters to garrison Shiyang to prevent the Wu army and Zhu Ran from outside.

Subsequently, after receiving the military information from the scouts, Sun Quan had led the main force from the waters of Xiakou to enter the mouth of Qichun County along the river, and vigorously repaired the warships and reorganized the armament, quite an attempt to seize the situation in Lujiang County west of Huainan.

Cao Xiu then ordered Man Chong to lead the crowd to Lu'an, Jiashi and other places, and contend with Sun Quan with the water defense line.

After the deployment of the southeast Wu army, Zhang Liao was again dispatched to send 5,000 foot cavalry to march westward for several days, and fought with Guan Yu's troops under Shangchang City.

After days of expeditions, both sides tried their best to fight, although Guan Yu had the absolute upper hand with superior forces, but because Cao Xiu was in charge of the overall situation, the battle line was still unable to move forward.

The war had to be stalemate......

On the other side, under Shiyang City, Zhu Ran was still storming the city pass day and night.

On top of the water, Sun Quan also led the generals to tentatively launch several attacks on the Lujiang River, but they were all skillfully defused by the full favor.

Guanping, who led more than 10,000 people to cross the Huaishui River along the Han River to the east and Rushui into Runan, relied on the rolling mountains of Runan at this moment to coordinate with each other, and then dispatched soldiers to attack the cities in Runan.

If you can, you will pull it out, and if you can't, you will immediately stop attacking and plunder the Haoqiang manors scattered around the city.

Plundering Haoqiang, Guan Ping's order was to raid the house and loot money and grain, liberate the tenant farmers, and then send the hermits back to Jingxiang by boat, but at the same time ordered not to cause too many killings.

Except for those who resist fiercely, all of them are slaughtered to deter, and the rest are open!

than the water around.

Near Biyang City.

Biyang County Commander couldn't help but be frightened after hearing that Guan Ping was leading the crowd to attack, but although Guan Ping has been famous in recent years and used soldiers like a god, he categorically extinguished his mind of abandoning the city and leaving for his own promotion.

On the contrary, he immediately fortified the wall, closed the city gate and recruited the city's citizens to replenish the strength of the county soldiers, and then also sent sentry cavalry to rush north to Xudu to ask for reinforcements to hold on and wait for help.

Merely.

In Guan Ping's eyes, Biyang's city defense is also like paper paste, which can be broken overnight!

But Guan Ping saw that after the Biyang County Order was insisted, he did not choose to seize the city, not because he did not take it, but mainly because it did not have the slightest meaning.

Three years ago, he captured Biyang because he wanted to go north to attack Xu, and he had to remove all the strength of the Wei army, and now he ...... There is no need for this.

gave up the seizure of the city, but in recent days, Guan Ping has been frequently active in the countryside around Biyang for several days, which has made Wenxian Ling anxious and helpless.

A scout who secretly concealed outside the city to spy on the military situation sent back to the military report: In recent days, the Jingzhou army has been frequently active around Biyang, and they have attacked the Wu Fort of Haoqiang in all directions, and the various armies wantonly looted all the money and grain and other materials hoarded by Haoqiang, and liberated the hidden households hidden by Haoqiang one by one.

What made Wen Xianling even more desperate was that Guan Ping's decision-making was impeccable.

Although he plundered the powerful outside the city, he did not hurt his life in the slightest, and he made a bold statement that if anyone was willing to go to Jiangnan to live, he would give him several acres of fertile land to cultivate, and he would be exempt from tax for three years.

This almost made the hermits who had just been liberated from the Haoqiang clan accept it, and they were overjoyed, and these hermits were helplessly absorbed by Haoqiang and merged into hermits because they could not independently farm and feed their families.

There is nothing in itself, and now Guan Ping has opened a preferential policy of giving land for cultivation and tax exemption for three years, and what he has paid is nothing more than moving to Jiangnan.

They didn't have any nostalgia at all, so they decided to follow the Jingzhou army south.

In these troubled times, everyone knows that there are frequent wars and barbarians everywhere, how can there be any pure land to speak of, as long as you can cultivate and be self-sufficient, it is already the happiest thing, who will refuse?

But there are exceptions to everything.

Some hermits may be nostalgic for their hometown and can't bear to leave their hometown, or their families have expectations, in short, even if they have rich benefits, they are not willing to return south.

In response to this, Guan Ping's new policy has also followed, giving all the heroes and strengths that have been broken to the homes, and then dividing the fields of the heroes and strongs equally with the hidden people to cultivate.

This move also made the hermit who was reluctant to leave suddenly have a sharp increase in his favorability towards the Han army.

They all thought that if they did not want to go to Jiangnan, the Han army would abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves, but unexpectedly...... Guan Ping even took the initiative to divide the Haoqiang fields and cultivate them with them......

"This ...... This and this ......"

"The Han army is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and General Guan is mighty."

The hidden people who were rescued around Biyang all sang praises to the Han army and Guan Ping.

And this move has gradually affected the situation in the rest of the counties.

Many areas couldn't help but see the preferential policies of the Han army to treat the hidden households, and the people began to move, as if they wanted to unite to revolt against the Wei State and resist Haoqiang in order to create an opportunity for the Han army to break through Wubao to rescue them.

After slowly reading a military report, Wen Xianling's face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but smash it on the case, and said angrily: "These people who are short-sighted are really innocent!" ”

Before he cleared the wilderness, he had already sent people to persuade Zhu Haoqiang to retreat into the city to temporarily avoid the limelight, and that Wu Fort alone could not resist the powerful Han army.

But Zhu Haoqiang did not measure his strength and disdained the Han army, and was not moved at all.

This couldn't help but make Wen County Ling angry at that time.

But Haoqiang is reluctant to enter the city, even if he is the lord of a county, what can he do?

Now the problem he thinks of is that Haoqiang around Biyang was raided by the Han army, lost his land and lost a large number of tenant farmers, and after the Han army retreated, Zhu Haoqiang would definitely not give up!

Then, with their strength, it will be easy to regain these lands.

But when the people have already taken possession of their land, how will they willingly give it up?

If this is the case, it will inevitably intensify the contradictions between the powerful and the people, and any side of the court will offend the other and lead to instability in governance.

Wen County's vision is indeed unique, and after a little thought about it, he has roughly understood Guan Ping's intentions.

And just when the Wenxian order could only continue to strengthen the city defense and strictly prevent the Han army from attacking the city outside the city, the Han army around the city also gathered at this moment, and was following Guan Ping to attack a strong manor in the east of Biyang City, on the flank of Bishui.

It is reported that this manor is Biyang Zhang's family, since Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, it has relied on the land annexation of officials such as the scheming and the county guard, and has gathered a large group of hidden households, and the family has hundreds of acres of land.

Although the Wenxian Commander has also known about the Zhang family's evil deeds since he took office, and he also wants to attack it, but because the Zhang family is not only strong in the local area, but also has relatives in the county as officials, and the court also has a good right to speak, so it has been impossible to take the Zhang family.

In front of Zhangjiawu Fort.

At this moment, Liu Jia, the personal guard on Guan Ping's side, saw that the defense on Zhangjiawu Fort was scattered, and the defense facilities such as arrow towers and antlers were extremely perfect, and his own sergeants attacked several times in a row but still did not enter.

For a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and look at Guan Ping and said, "Major General, why does our army shrink its military strength and attack Haoqiang here?" If you attack other heroes, then their strength is not very strong, and our army can easily attack them! ”

"But this Zhang family is difficult to overcome...... You didn't say it before the war. If you meet a powerful clan that is difficult to overcome, will you give up and attack the rest of the clan? ”

Liu Jia's eyes revealed a deep confusion.

Hearing this, Guan Ping looked back with a knowing smile and said, "This time and that time!" The plan should also be adjusted accordingly according to the actual situation. ”

Saying this, looking at the soldiers who attacked Wu Fort but were damaged one after another, although his heart ached, his face was resolute and resolute, and he was not moved at all.

If it was replaced a few years ago, Guan Ping cherished the lives of his soldiers very much.

However, after several years of fighting and fighting, his heart has also changed slightly, and he knows that a good man cannot become a qualified commander.

The so-called "mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth." ”

After staring at it for a while, Guan Ping let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "In recent days, Ben Jiang has sent people to collect the situation of the powerful people around Biyang, and after collecting evidence from many aspects, this Zhang family can be said to be notorious and full of evil in the square area. ”

"The purpose of our army is not only to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but also to maintain peace and safeguard the interests of the Han people. If our army is now unable to destroy even a powerful bully who oppresses the good, then how can the people of the Central Plains state trust our army to revive the Han dynasty, and how can they support me? ”

A seat fell.

Guan Ping slowly explained the situation in general.

To briefly summarize, Guan Ping wants to use the blood of the Zhang family to deter the rest of the heroes, and if there are any more people who dare to invade the people in the future, they will settle accounts one by one after the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Secondly, it is also necessary to cultivate the sense of dependence and trust of the people in the Central Plains states to the Han army.

The so-called "people's aspirations". If the Han army could not win over the people of the Central Plains states, then even if Cao Wei was conquered militarily, it would take a lot of money and time to govern slowly in the future, and the people would be reintegrated into the rule of the Han family.

It's too time-consuming and labor-intensive!

This strategy is also a plan that Guan Ping had planned in his chest before he went north.

Crack down on the strong, liberate the tenants, and distribute the fields of the strong.

Judging from the people's wars waged by the Celestial Empire in later generations, this move was the most effective way to win the hearts and minds of the people.

After getting a little answer, Liu Jia was still full of doubts, and couldn't help asking: "Young General, Jia still has something to understand." ”

"What?"

"Since our army has broken the strong and strong, why only raid the family and not destroy the clan? Now most of the hermits are convinced of the major general's tax-free strategy, and they have taken boats from the Han River into Xiangyang and southward into the territory of Jingzhou, and suddenly such a large number of people poured in, does our army really have the spare strength to resettle them? ”

"Yikes. Liu Jia, you're going to think about these questions now. ”

When the words fell, Guan Ping was also a little surprised, his eyes stared straight at him, and he said with a smile on his face that was extremely excited.

"Haha." Hearing this, Liu Jia smiled and said, "I have been following the young general for several years, and the way of thinking about problems should also change, how can I do it without a little growth." ”

As he spoke, he continued: "Also, what Ling Jia is puzzled about is that since our army has broken through the powerful Wu Fort and raided the house, it is tantamount to having a feud with them, and it will be difficult to reconcile in the future, so why not take the opportunity to exterminate the clan and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”

To be honest, Guan Ping's strategy is now opposed by the rest of the generals, but for Liu Jia, he definitely raises his hands in agreement.

He was born in a humble family, and since he was a child, he was bullied by powerful bullies and his parents died tragically, and only the two brothers depended on each other to survive in the world!

Later, after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he wantonly burned the official mansion, looted the powerful clan, and petitioned for the people.

Now Guan Ping's strategy was almost instantaneously endorsed by him.

But he didn't understand, since he had already torn his face with Haoqiang, why did he want to save his life?

When the words fell, Guan Ping looked straight at him, and was silent for a moment before he suddenly said, "Alas! Liu Jia, you still need to improve in the overall situation. ”

"This is what I will do on purpose!"

"Deliberately?"

"Hmm. If all the wealthy clans we have conquered are slaughtered with all their might, wouldn't it be too much killing, and what is the difference between our army and the Wei army that is brutal and unkind and wantonly slaughtering the city? How can it represent justice? ”

After saying this, Guan Ping explained with a relaxed expression: "Of course, this is also the second, and this general also sets up a dilemma for Wei Jun." ”

"Liu Jia, think about it, now our army has given full authority to the landless people to cultivate, our army is still in Haoqiang, and dare not act rashly, if our army leaves, Zhu Haoqiang will inevitably come back to recapture what belongs to them."

"And with all the powerful forces, how can ordinary people contend with them?"

When the words fell, Guan Ping's face suddenly turned gloomy and he sneered: "Then the good show is staged at this moment, will Wei Ting ignore what the heroes have done or help the people protect the fields they have shared?" ”

"But no matter what, they will lose one side of the annexation, and the Central Plains will definitely be separated from Germany, and won't the purpose of our army have been achieved?"

After explaining with a cold face, Liu Jia suddenly realized that his own young general had such a far-reaching plan.

His move was not only to regain the hearts and minds of the people here, but also to destroy the close ties between Wei and the people or the imperial court.

This is a two-bird strategy, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In the moment when the two were talking, the battle was still deadlocked.

At this moment, after the Han army suffered a lot of casualties, a battalion of sergeants finally braved the attack of arrow rain to kill Wu Fort.

The powerful armed forces are originally from ordinary domestic servants or homeless people, and the training they receive on weekdays is too weak, how can they be compared to the elite of a hundred battles who have already killed the head of the city and exude a fierce murderous aura?

Almost in a short time, the remnants of Wubao's servants were driven down the city one after another, and their corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.

And as a group of Han soldiers killed Shangwu Fort and gained a firm foothold, the rest of the Han sergeants also killed Wu Fort like a tide and began to attack on a large scale.

Haoqiang's servants basically turned into birds and beasts in an instant, and fled in all directions.

These powerful servants rely on Wu Fort to defend on weekdays, but once they are broken through hand-to-hand combat, they will be crushed.

Outside Wubao.

Guan Ping looked at this scene and shouted with a smile: "Okay." The order went down and arrested the entire Zhang family. ”
