Chapter 586: Unification of the Seven States (4000)
Then Liu De sighed, "But Mr. Su's wife and children can go with Mr. Su." ”
"In this way, I don't know whether to hate His Highness or thank His Highness!"
Su Cang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If Lone pardons the Su family, and Li Lei and Li Jingyan have also surrendered, and Lone is also entrusted with reuse, but the Li family is pardoned or not? These families are forgiven,"
Su Cang said: "Although His Highness is benevolent and righteous, he is fair, and the criminal minister has nothing to say, but the criminal minister has one thing to ask His Royal Highness for permission." ”
"Sir, please!"
"The elders in the family are old and the migration journey is far away, can they be resettled nearby, and choose a few juniors to take care of, if the criminal has some merit in the future, can he use the merit to offset the family's faults?"
"The Su family moved to Yan, Bei, and Wei Prefectures, and they were no longer guilty, so why should Mr. offset it with merit? People in Mr.'s family can also apply for the imperial examination, or join the army, as long as they have merit and political achievements, they can also be promoted, maybe three or five years later, the Su family will prosper again. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Su Cang replied.
The conversation between Liu De and Su Cang ended, in fact, Su Cang understood that if Liu De wanted to completely control Danzhou, he had to deal with the problem of cleaning up the Danzhou family.
When Liu De besieged Chen Liucheng, Li Yun sent fast horses to ask for help, but there was very little support from the counties and counties of Danzhou, and the biggest reinforcement was Shan Xiongxin, a man in the green forest.
And those families are all watching from the wall, this is the disadvantage of Li Yun's government, with the local family as officials, the military power, political power, and financial power of the counties and counties are handed over, although they have obtained the immediate refuge of the various families, but really have to wait until the big event comes, what are these families who are quite favored by Li Yun's kindness doing?
This made Liu De vigilant, so Liu De wanted to vigorously implement the centralized power system, all counties and counties have central jurisdiction, and the Taishou and county orders were also appointed by the central government, and the financial and military power was even more lax.
Even if there is a long delay in Danzhou, Liu De will make up his mind to do it, now that the autumn harvest is imminent, the soldiers are tired, and it is not suitable for a big war, so it is just time to recuperate and recuperate for a period of time, sort out the internal affairs of each state, plan the deployment of the army from the new, recruit young and strong soldiers, and appease the people.
By the way, there is also the upcoming civil and military move, which is also a major event, the first imperial examination Liu De is no longer in Beiping, and the second time if there is no major event, Liu De must stay, expressing his importance to the imperial examination.
Although Su Cang is Li Yun's friend, but now that Li Yun is dead, Su Cang thinks about the family not for anything else, although Liu De said that he will not punish the Su family, but what about Liu De's people?
Su Cang didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, although the Li family was defeated, but after all, Li Lan was there, and some people would definitely give the Li family scattered to various places a face for Li Lan's sake, and they would not be bullied.
But what about Han?
Han Wei and Han Meng were both killed by the Han army, and Han Meng committed the crime of slaughtering the county in Jizhou, although Liu De pardoned the Han family and was also sent to various places, but Su Cang knew that Han's life would definitely not be easy.
Therefore, Su Cang surrendered to Liu De and took the position of Danzhou Driver, Liu De also knew that Su Cang was not very loyal to him, and his stunts could also be seen, but Su Cang was definitely a person who knew current affairs, and it was easy for this person to know current affairs.
Su Cang is talented, that's for sure, Liu De also needs Su Cang, a famous celebrity in Danzhou, to stabilize Danzhou for himself.
Immediately, Liu De ordered Shang Shutai to draft an edict:
With Guan Yu as the governor of the rear army and concurrently serving as the pastor of Danzhou, Su Cang as the Danzhou don't drive, Zong Ze as the military priest and Chen Liutaishou, the left tiger Benwei general Zhang Fei, the right tiger Benwei general Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Liu Rendan, Liu Renliang, Liu Menglong, Lu Junyi, Jia Fu, Sai Zun and other generals all listened to Guan Yu's dispatch and stuck to Danzhou.
After Su Cang left, Dian Wei came to report, "Your Highness, Deputy Commander Li asks to see you." ”
"Let him in!"
Liu De nodded and promised.
Li Yuanfang strode in and bowed to Liu De: "Minister Li Yuanfang greets His Highness!" ”
"Get up!"
Liu De looked at Li Yuanfang and asked in a deep voice: "Although Li Yun is dead, the assassin who assassinated Xun Aiqing has never been found. ”
Li Yuanfang's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, leaned forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "The minister is guilty!" ”
"Where is Che Yan now?"
Liu De looked at Li Yuanfang and asked.
Li Yuanfang hurriedly replied: "Commander Che led his subordinates to search for the whereabouts of the assassin in Jizhou. ”
"Punish Che Yan and you for one year each, and give you another three months, just to see the whereabouts of the assassin, to see people alive, and to see corpses when you die."
Liu De raised his head and added: "No matter what method you use..."
"The minister understands!"
Li Yuanfang touched the ground with his head.
Liu De didn't say what he would do if he couldn't find the assassin in three months, but Li Yuanfang knew that if the Hanging Mirror Division couldn't find the whereabouts of the assassin within three months, the Hanging Mirror Division might be directly cut out by Liu De in anger.
Liu De remembered something, and his voice did soften a lot, "When Xun Aiqing was assassinated, there was a general who desperately rescued him?" ”
Li Yuanfang replied: "Yes, this person's name is Zhang, and he is a military commander under General Zheng. ”
"Have you checked him?"
Liu De asked.
Li Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Check it out, he did happen to be there at that time, and his identity is absolutely innocent!" ”
"Good!"
Liu De nodded, waved his hand to Li Yuanfang and said, "Go get busy!" Then let Zhang come and see me! ”
"Yes! Retire! ”
Li Yuanfang withdrew from the palace gate.
Not long after coming over, Liu De saw Zhang, a fierce general.
Zhang, one of the five good generals, first belonged to Han Fu, returned to Yuan Shao, and finally surrendered to Cao Cao, fought countless battles in his life, and was known for his "clever change" until he was hit by an arrow in the knee...
Ahem...
The general in front of Liu De, who is known for his "clever change", is not very old and still very young, and Liu De immediately used stunts to check:
Character: Zhang
Gender: Male
Age: 20/66
Injuries: Healthy
Faction: Liu De (Han)
Identity: Sergeant
Official position: Wu Chief
Title: None
Prestige: 11
Merit: 1200
Loyalty: 91
Command: 90
Force: 89
Intelligence: 69
Politics: 57
Charisma: 71
Adaptability: Infantry A Cavalry S Archers C Weapons A Naval Army C
Treasure: None
Stunt: Mutation [Ignoring Terrain on Land] (Level 3 Marching Skill)
------------------
Ignoring the terrain?
Is it like walking on the ground with a large army, even in treacherous terrain?
Liu De thought to himself.
Zhang's command and martial arts are superior, and he is only 20 years old, and there is still room for growth.
Liu De said: "Zhang, you saved Xun Shoufu, this is meritorious, you can't help but appreciate, and Xun Shoufu, Commander Li and your boss General Zheng all praised you for your martial arts and good at leading troops, even so, I rewarded you as a lieutenant and continued to be a general under General Zheng, are you willing?" ”
"The last general is willing!"
Zhang suddenly kowtowed, very excited.
Liu De nodded, praised a few words, and let Zhang go down.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang, Yu Ban, Le Jin, and Cao Wei's five sons are all together.
The time of joining is different, and the official positions held are not the same, the highest official position is now none other than Xu Huang, the general of the leading guard, and Yu Ban, the general of the right Weiwei, and now Xu Huang commands more than 10,000 troops to guard Zhoukou Pass, which can be said to be reused by Liu De.
Although Yu Ban's official position and title have not changed, he has now lost his military power and is idle in Beiping, and Huo Quai, Lu Bode and other generals of the Wei Huo family are quite disgusted with Yu Ban, and their lives are a little difficult!
Zhang Liao is now serving as a period gate in the period gate army, after a long period of experience, Liu De is also ready to put part of the period gate army into various armies to hold important positions, Zhang Liao is among them, the military position is definitely not low, this is Liu De's pro-army.
Le Jin is now serving as the general of the right military guard, following under Huo Quai's command, with great achievements, although Le Jin is short in stature and quite taciturn, but he is deeply trusted by Liu De.
And Zhang joined a little late, but with Zhang's ability, it is very simple to obtain military merits and serve as a general.
Then Liu De looked at the system, and among the [Combination Titles], [Cao Wei's Five Sons] was really ready.
However, Liu De is not in a hurry to open it now, and will be researching and researching it in the future.
......
In July, Weizhou Gao and Li Dingguo sent a report that the Weizhou Qiang Rebellion had been basically quelled, and the military newspaper detailed in the military newspaper where there was a rebellion, how many beheadings, how many prisoners, and how many losses were inflicted on the Han army in Weizhou.
In the letter, Gao also praised Wang Meng, who served as the county commander in Fuping, and defeated hundreds of Qiang people with more than 100 people, captured 400 people, and captured 100 war horses.
Among them, Wang Meng also recommended to Liu De a Qiang man under his command, named Deng Qiang, who is quite brave.
And said that there are many Qiang people in Weizhou, and Deng Qiang's heart is to the Han, which can be used and rewarded, and the Qiang people will be happy to follow it when they hear it, and Weizhou will be stable...
Supplemented by differentiation and co-optation, and the use of Qiang to govern Qiang, it may not take a few years for the Qiang chaos that plagued the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years to be pacified.
Liu De and the ministers also analyzed in detail during the Great Zhou Dynasty, why the Qiang Rebellion in Weizhou was repeatedly uneven, in fact, the first point is that the courtiers did not work, and the officials who served as officials in Weizhou were officials from the Central Plains in the interior, and they were contemptuous of Weizhou from the heart, and they were unwilling to stick to it, and they were quite harsh and cruel to the people of Weizhou.
At the beginning of the Qiang Rebellion, the weapons and equipment were very simple, not even cloth armor, and the weapons in his hands were mostly wooden sticks, and the number of people was also small.
As long as the imperial court made up its mind a little, it could eliminate the initial Qiang chaos in the bud, but obviously, for various reasons and concerns, or the central bosses did not care about Weizhou at all, and soon the Qiang chaos became a prairie fire, becoming more and more intense, after breaking the city, the weapons and armor in the arsenal were quickly assembled, and the number of soldiers and horses also quickly increased.
When the threat reached the mainland, or even Zhongzhou, the central bosses came to their senses, dispatched troops, and began to encircle and suppress the Qiang rebellion, but it was too late by then, and it took decades of wear and tear, and the Qiang people also played dog brains inside, so they recovered most of Weizhou.
The center also sent Weizhou Mu to sit in the town, but in fact, it can only maintain the stability on the surface, in fact, the Qiang rebellion has not subsided, and then the family gradually grasps the power, what do they have to do with this remote place of Weizhou, a group of untouchables, die and die!
The imperial court did not have any extra money and troops to send troops to Weizhou, and Weizhou has been eroded until Liu De has now recovered Weizhou.
In August, Huo Qubing also came with news that the counties and counties of Jinzhou had surrendered, and the scholars who had committed the most heinous crimes were directly pulled out by the Han army and beheaded.
This also caused a lot of family rebellions, but they were all broken by Huo Quzhi, who asked Beiping to send officials to pacify the local area as soon as possible.
In August, Guan Yu also came with good news, basically recovering all counties and counties in Danzhou, but clashed with the Qi ** team on the border between Danzhou and Dongzhou, and lost 27 soldiers.
Liu De ordered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to send an order to Guan Yu, focusing on restoring the people's strength in Danzhou, punishing lawless families, and carefully guarding the ** team.
According to the news from Gong Weisi, Xiang Yu is now leading a large army to attack Huaizhou, and he should not be able to spare his hands for a while, but Liu De also reminded himself to be more careful.
Xiang Yukong has martial arts and bravery, he is a fool, but the strategist Fan Ji around him is definitely not easy to match, Liu De ordered Dai Zongjia to send people to Dongzhou and Luzhou to investigate the intelligence of Qi State.
Liu De's next target was Xiang Yu's rule of Dongzhou, Luzhou, and of course, Xizhou far to the west, and so on to unify these three states, Liu De successfully occupied the entire northern land, with the Huai River as the line.
Liu De took a look at his main quest:
Unify more than eleven states in ten years.
Liu De glanced at the map, a state happened to be the north of the entire Great Zhou, that is, Yanzhou, Beizhou, Jizhou, Luanzhou, Weizhou, Jinzhou, Danzhou, Dongzhou, Luzhou, Zhongzhou, and Xizhou.
Dongzhou and Luzhou were under the leadership of Xiang Yu.
Xizhou is controlled by the Great Zhou Anxi General Baili Yun, but Liu De believes that the general trend is now, Baili Yun has never been involved in the internal competition of the Great Zhou, but only stuck on the border to guard against the Fan people, and now the Han has occupied nearly half of the territory and controls most of the north, maybe there is no need to send any soldiers and horses, it can be said that the hundred miles of clouds will fall.
Baili Yun is a tiger general, more than ten years in the morning that is famous, the Western Army under his command is even more brilliant, brave and abnormal, although Baili Yun is old, but the tiger is still there, he joined the Han, will make the Han strength and prestige to a higher level.
Moreover, Bai Qi's clansmen are under the command of Baili Yun, which is also an opportunity.
As soon as he thought of it, Liu De immediately wrote a letter to Bai Qi, ordering him to write a letter to his people to help him persuade him to surrender to Baili Cloud.
When Bai Qi's letter came, Liu De was sending an envoy to Xizhou.
In the end, there is still one Zhongzhou left, it can be said that the originally prosperous Zhongzhou is now completely deserted, and there are probably not many people left in the large state with a population of one million.
This is the cruelty of war.
There were even several plagues in Zhongzhou, but fortunately, it was not big and did not affect the territory of Dahan.
And in Zhongzhou, Luodu is still stationed thousands of people belonging to Li Yun.
Liu De thought of this, and ordered: "Order Li Lei and Li Jingyan to come over!" ”
"Your Highness!"
Although Li Lei and Li Jingyan have surrendered to Liu De and have been rewarded with official positions, in fact, they are now idle in Beiping and have nothing to do all day.
Liu De said to the two: "Li Jifang led thousands of men and horses in Luodu, and I need you two to go and persuade him to surrender." ”
Li Lei and Li Jingyan glanced at each other, and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”
