When the secret agent sent by Guo Peng to Liangzhou sent the news back, Guo Peng was very angry.

Lao Tzu worked hard for eighteen years to be a person, and worked hard for another two years to become a Duke of Wei and the monarch of a principality.

Is there such a truth in the world?

I have destroyed you, and I must destroy you.

And for good reason.

Your courage is too big, it's really too big, Guo Peng was stunned for a long time when he first knew about this, I don't know where this guy got the confidence, and he actually dared to be the king.

However, after learning about it specifically, Guo Peng also understood.

He recruited the Han Haoqiang and Qiang tribes near Caohan County, and probably gathered more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, relying on the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain around Caohan County, and closed the door to claim the king.

Some of the other forces are difficult to protect themselves, and some feel that Caohan County is really difficult to fight, so from the year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they let him be free to be the king for more than 15 years.

The vicinity of Caohan County is really surrounded by mountains, the whole situation is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is only one road, as long as this road is blocked, it is basically difficult to enter.

The 30,000 soldiers he has include Han Chinese, Qiang people, and other miscellaneous soldiers, which can be regarded as some combat effectiveness when combined, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, so he was stunned for a long time.

Despite this, Guo Peng doesn't plan to let him continue to be free, this guy must be destroyed.

So Cao Ren led his troops over, and before he went, he made the surrounding geographical environment and Song Jian's military garrison more clear, and spent money to buy the informant, and learned some internal situations in Caohan County, such as armaments and the like.

Cao Ren and Chen Gong didn't plan to do any tricks, so they went straight over, they fortified it, and Cao Ren used trebuchets to destroy it, and hit it head-on to see who was stronger.

Dealing with a small grass king still has to play tricks, which is too much to look down on the combat effectiveness of the Wei army.

After taking this Song Jian, Longxi County will have no opponents worth caring about, and the remaining Qianghu miscellaneous soldiers and Han heroes will not be taken into account by Cao Ren and Chen Gong.

Guo Peng's order was to kill all these local heroes who had participated in the rebellion, including the Ma family, the Han family and other famous local powerful families.

One of these people is counted as one, all of them have betrayed the Han Empire, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Guo has to avenge the unfortunate death of the first emperor, and make these heroes who participated in the rebellion pay the price.

Cao Ren and Chen Gong deeply understood Guo Peng's fierce loyalty, so they adhered to the concept of killing them all and marched north to give them a little color.

More than a decade of free chaos has passed, and now, the strong are coming back!

At the same time as Cao Ren marched into the army, Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan achieved a great victory, basically a success, the counties and counties had no strength to stop the Wei army, and the county seat was quickly taken.

Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan destroyed a lot of Haoqiang manors around the county, and some of them were intact, so Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan destroyed them according to the order, plundered them, killed the owner of the manor, captured all the people in the manor, and took them away, thinking that they would be used for the future tuntian.

The anti-aggressive actions in other states and counties need some names, and some of them cannot be easily moved.

But Liangzhou is different.

Anti-thieves everywhere, they have gone their own way, basically one can be killed by all of them, and Guo is also the best at falling into the well, at this time, a big hat of an anti-thief is buttoned up, that is, to rob the family and exterminate the family, there is nothing to say.

These heroes living in the Shura field should also be killed, otherwise they will not know what trouble will happen in the future.

The chaos in Liangzhou lasted too long and was too violent, and without the use of force, it would not be able to establish the authority of the new central government, and whether the authority of the central government was strong or not would determine whether the Guo Wei regime could establish a solid rule in Liangzhou.

What Guo needs is a Tuntian people who are good at Tuntian, a tool man, not a group of unstable elements who can not only be self-sufficient in food, but even build weapons and even armor by themselves.

Since the announcement of the official operation of salt and iron, Guo no longer allows private iron smelting, and only allows iron smelting in officially operated stores.

Ordinary people who need kitchen knives and farm tools at home have to go to the stores directly operated by the government to buy them, and other places are not allowed to buy and sell, and there will be a record of who buys them.

Strictly restrict the use of civil force in order to reduce the heroic atmosphere that has prevailed among the people since the Western Han Dynasty, reduce the number of armed fights between the people and the harm they bring, and reduce the pressure on public security.

At the same time, it is necessary to guard against a rebellion, and to prevent someone from taking advantage of Guo's mobilization of troops to set Guo someone's backyard on fire to threaten the rule of Guo Wei's regime.

Guo has perfectly inherited the family's legal tradition at this point, although it is not enough to learn from Qin Shi Huang to cast the twelve golden figures, but it will not be far behind.

This is true of the states and counties in the interior, and even more so in Liangzhou.

Even those estates that were retained were no longer allowed to smelt iron, and local officials would take people to search their homes for iron-smelting equipment, and then sell it all to the government at market prices.

In order to better implement this policy, Guo also asked his important ministers to take the lead.

If the family has a manor, he handed over the iron-smelting equipment and blacksmiths in his manor, and Guo Peng did not rob it, but gave a sum of money to buy it.

The Li Dian family still performed the best, took the lead in complying, handed over 136 blacksmith households, handed over iron-smelting equipment and more than 1,500 catties of iron, and Guo Peng commended it.

With the Li Dian family taking the lead, other major powerful manors also cooperated, handed over the blacksmith household and iron-striking equipment, and did not dare to disobey Guo Peng's orders.

Guo Peng gave an order, and if he did not pay it, it would be regarded as a rebellion against the imperial court and would be dealt with together.

Now every big family in Liangzhou has iron-smelting equipment and blacksmiths, and they make their own iron, make weapons and armor, and can also produce food.

At that time, if there is a change in Liangzhou, someone will raise his arms and shout, and this stick will be able to pull up an army in minutes and start attacking the city.

There are a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Guo someone does not have so much energy to prevent them, the best way is to cut it all and abolish their martial arts.

So such a Liangzhou Haoqiang, how could someone Guo allow them to exist?

Wherever the army went, the Hanhu Haoqiang Manor in Liangzhou was all razed, and those who took the initiative to surrender were given preferential treatment, and the recalcitrant Yiqi clan burned their manors.

The powerful forces of Hanyang, Anding, Longxi and other counties were defeated and collapsed by the Wei army with a swift blow, and they were almost swept away and uprooted.

Unlike other states and counties, Guo Peng's rule of Liangzhou no longer requires the cooperation of Liangzhou people.

After more than ten years of development, he has enough official team and ruling experience, and has enough ruling ability to send enough people to destroy the original political and economic ecology of Liangzhou, rebuild his political and economic ecology on the ruins, and establish the rule of the Guo Wei regime in Liangzhou.

He no longer needs the cooperation of the people of Liangzhou.

So this battle was fought with great ferocity.

This is the case in Liangzhou now, and it will be the same in Liaodong in the future.

These frontiers themselves lack the existence of the scholars, lack the pressure of public opinion, and have rebelled, Guo has a clear reason, such a good opportunity, such a good opportunity to destroy the powerful and seize the population, Guo will not let go.

Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan's march went smoothly, and Cao Ren's side also approached Caohan County smoothly, according to the report of the eyeliner, Song Jian's side had already detected that Cao Ren's army was coming to crusade, and was urgently preparing to resist, asking Cao Ren to be careful and not to capsize in the gutter.

Cao Ren sneered again and again, and advanced directly with the army, but encountered resistance from Song Jiansuo's army halfway through.

The leader of this army was Song Jian's eldest son Song Wei, who came with 20,000 soldiers to meet Cao Ren, probably wanting to defeat Cao Ren at his own door and show his might, so that Cao Ren realized that he was not easy to mess with.

This is Song Jian's usual method of maintaining secession for more than ten years.

This time, though, they hit the iron plate.

Literally, it is ironclad, because the equipment of the Wei army is heavier, harder, and more sophisticated, and ordinary people and weapons cannot help the Wei army.
