Chapter 259: This Time It's a Yang Scheme
After Zhao Hao arrived in Shangtai, he immediately began to mobilize, this time in addition to the most elite Beiwei army, he also mobilized other middle-aged men in Shangtai to join the army.
That's right, it was mobilization, not forced apportionment, Zhao Hao personally went to the streets, handed out leaflets, shouted slogans, and told the men, women and children in Shangqi that now Zhang Ji had led Hu Qi to arrive, and if he didn't want to flee his hometown, the only way now was to join the Han army and join the team that resisted the Wei army.
The people of Tianshui were originally interested in Ji Han, and under the encouragement of Zhao Hao, they joined the team one after another, and some even took knives and guns from their own homes, and their fighting spirits were high.
Zhao Hao told everyone that his purpose this time was to break through Wuzhangyuan and turn Wuzhangyuan into a front-line fortress to attack Chang'an, so as to slowly encroach on the Wei army in Guanzhong.
Zhao Hao, who was born as a liar, knows best how to mobilize the emotions of the people, and promise them a bright future with panic, empathy, and hatred of the enemy.
"Fellow villagers, it was the Han who abandoned you before, but now that the Han is back, a bright future is just around the corner.
The wise and martial Emperor of the Han Dynasty entrusted me to bring high-yield grain seeds, and also set a benevolent policy of not paying grain for three years, and soon, Tianshui will become rich and bright! β
"Cao Wei is perverse, their Liangzhou assassin Shi Zhang is colluding with Hu Lu, they want to destroy our good situation of stability and unity, and want to bring us back to poverty and killing, everyone says, can we bear it?"
Zhao Hao, who was holding the tin horn, was full of excitement, his speech was very incendiary, and the surrounding crowd also raised their fists and shouted: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it!" β
"It's right if you can't bear it, as long as I am a bloody man, I should join the army to defend my family and country.
Let's think about it, after we came to Tianshui, we have begun to clear the land on a large scale to prevent the wealthy families from concealing the population, as long as the people who are willing to join the army can share more good land, was there such a good thing before? β
"Nope! No! β
"Think about it, everybody! When those people from Wei come back with their troops, will they let you Qiantou continue to occupy the fertile land?
Don't forget, they practice the Nine Grades of Righteousness, only those wealthy families can control everything, will there be anyone who speaks for you?
You will be rebellious, you will be thieves, you will be tormented, everything you have will be taken from you! β
"Now you still have a chance, although there are many enemy forces, but in order to protect our homeland and our land, we can fight to the end, at all costs!"
"Join the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court, join the ranks of the imperial court, you will have the opportunity to protect your homeland, you are the heroes of Tianshui, you are the bravest man!"
The effect of the New Deal and Zhao Hao's propaganda soon achieved results, most of Cao Wei's officials and generals were similar to the later generations of homecoming regiments, and those Hu cavalry did not have any humanity at all.
Horizontal and vertical is death, fight to the death can still protect the homeland, leave a good reputation as a hero, and under the command of the champion Hou, there may be a chance of victory.
The conscription work went very smoothly, and almost everyone in the entire Shangtai land was willing to join the ranks of the Han army and strive for a bright tomorrow for the imperial court and for themselves.
There are those who actively join the army, and there are those who do things silently.
Of course, Zhao Hao's butcher's knife couldn't kill all those wealthy families at once, and they who had suffered heavy losses secretly licked their wounds in the corner, waiting for the opportunity to fight back.
"Zhang Tingshi has already led a large army to save us! Zhao Hao is now at the end of his rope, and our chance to turn over is coming. β
Many men sat on the floor in the dark and stuffy room, and they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces clearly in the dark room, but listening to the heavy breathing, they could also feel the blood surging in each other's hearts.
After Zhao Hao invaded Tianshui, he announced the immediate implementation of the new policy, and these people were all returned to the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and the Han army took away their land, grain and money by the Han army with a thunderbolt, and exchanged their savings for the hearts of the people.
There are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of these people, and they never thought that Ji Han's army would be as unreasonable as the Yellow Turban thieves......
If they are like the Yellow Turban thieves who will only loot and destroy, these wealthy families will not be afraid, at most they will endure this year.
But Zhao Hao is well versed in the truth of pulling one faction and fighting another, he directly aimed at the most powerful and powerful wealthy families, and attached great importance to ordinary poor families and some small families, not only gave them land, but also selected their children and grandchildren into his army and shogunate, and soon reached a consensus of interests with them.
This has made these wealthy families suffer, they can only be like rats in the corners of Shangqi, waiting for the court to come to the rescue, they have never given a good face to those Qiantou before, but now they have to take out their last savings, so that those Qiantou do not report them.
Of course, when their savings are spent, those mercenary Qiantou will definitely betray them without hesitation, and now is their last chance.
"Zhang He is really useless, 50,000 people can't beat the small Jieting City, and Zhang Tingshi has to find some Qianghu to help, it's really annoying to me!"
The person who spoke was called Jiang Zao, a wealthy family surnamed Tianshui, and a few days ago he was a general Zhang, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Zhang He, but since he heard that Zhang He was defeated by Wang Ping in the street pavilion, his attitude towards Zhang He immediately changed greatly.
However, when mentioning Zhang He, he was still a little cautious, saying bad things for fear of being heard by Zhang He.
"Hey, the street pavilion is narrow, and General Zhang is difficult to exert his strength, and he is helpless......"
"What's helpless, I think this martial artist is completely useless, or can a gentleman like Zhang Tingshi mobilize thousands of troops!"
Everyone looked at Jiang Zao with disdain, and no one spoke for a long time.
"You guys are talking, this villain is recruiting troops again, and he is going to fight Chang'an, you are still not the loyal and good of Great Wei, don't you want to think of a way?"
"Come on, the solution is not something that can be figured out with a loud voice, Zhao Hao is ruthless, I heard that he is more ruthless in Jiaozhou, and if he finds that there is a strong family resisting, he will kill him.
Now he's just confiscated our acres, and it's going to be ruthless to let them know we're here to gather. β
"Then what do you say!"
Jiang Zaoyin said predictably: "Aren't they going to fight Chen Cang, but also going to Wuzhang Plain, hey, let's hurry up and inform Chen Cang to strengthen their vigilance - I know that Chen Cang's guard Hao Zhao is known as the 'Iron Wall General', and the strength of defending the city will definitely be foolproof." β
A thin old man snorted and said, "Last time, you said that Zhang He's clever change of troops must be foolproof, why do you change your tune now and start touting Hao Zhao?"
As far as I know, this Zhao Hao has a particularly powerful siege weapon, that is, Xiangyang can be broken, not to mention a small place like Chencang. β
"Guo Cheng, which side are you on?" Jiang Zao was exposed, and he was immediately annoyed and angry.
The old man named Guo Cheng smiled arrogantly, stroked his beard and said, "If you want me to say, Zhao Hao is attacking the east and the west again, and he doesn't have the courage to hit Chen Cang." β
"Fart! He obviously said that he was going to beat Chen Cang today, can't you hear this dog's ears? β
Guo Cheng sneered and said: "Think about it with your feet, now that Zhang Tingshi is leading the army to overwhelm the border, Zhao Hao, the clown who jumps off the beam, doesn't go to support the street pavilion, how dare he divide his troops to fight Chen Cang?"
If the street pavilion is breached, and Zhang Tingshi goes all the way south, it will not be able to cut off his return in an instant, and where can he run at that time? β
Jiang Zao was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, and then he slowly reacted: "No, at the beginning, he asked someone to go to the street pavilion and went to Longxi himself, explaining ......"
"Explain the fart!" Guo Cheng sneered: "He fought Longxi to ensure the safety of the rear and prevent him from being directly cut off by the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry when he attacked on the whole line."
Now that he has finally solved the problem, it is the time to support the street pavilion in one go, do you think Zhao Hao is really as stupid as a pig and dog like you, joking about his own back road? β
Jiang Zao was speechless for a moment, and the rest of the people in the darkness also nodded, and said, "Guo Lao is Lao Cheng's serious words, this Zhao Hao is best at striking the east and the west, I think he is deliberately acting like this, so that the general does not dare to attack the street pavilion with all his might."
If you listen to his nonsense, I'm afraid that I will fall into the hub again, and I won't know how to die when the time comes. β
"Yes, Zhao Hao is cautious, he can ensure that nothing goes wrong as long as he guards the street pavilion and Shangqi, why did he suddenly take the risk of fighting Chen Cang at this time, or is it so fanfare?"
Guo Cheng said triumphantly: "The old man has seen countless storms in his life, although Zhao Hao is cunning, but after all, he is just young, how can he lie to me?"
To tell you the truth, I have already sent someone to Chencang to spread the word, so that General Cao can continue to lead his troops to fight that street pavilion. β
"Will General Cao believe it?"
"Hey, General Cao is wise and martial, so he will naturally believe it.
In the letter, I told General Cao that Zhao Hao was recruiting troops on a large scale in Shangtai - how could he have been so anxious before, and he didn't even care about Sven himself to go to the streets, which was obviously a struggle for the street pavilion, and he had to go all out to deal with Zhang Tingshi. β
"If Zhao Hao really dares to fight Chen Cang, Zhang Tingshi will go all out to break through the street pavilion, and he will just be able to cut off Zhao Hao's back road and block Zhao Hao, a fatherless, gentlemanless, and shameless villain in Weishui!"
Everyone was overjoyed and said yes, and even Jiang Zao, who had always wanted to lift the bar, was dumbfounded, and had to say that Jiang was still old and spicy.
"Then what can we do if we are still here, continue to hide here and wait for news from the street pavilion?"
Everyone brushed their eyes on Guo Cheng's face again, Guo Cheng smiled contemptuously, and said, "Sitting on the ground and waiting is just a fool's doing, isn't Zhao Hao conscripting?"
There should also be a lot of good sons and daughters in the house, let them join the Shu army, and then set fire to the thieves on the front line of the street pavilion, which will definitely make the thieves feel upset - oh, it's just cheap! β
"Hey, don't you say that, those Qianshou Diao people now occupy our land, just to attract Hu Er, kill them to the light before we can give us a bad breath!"
Guo Cheng snorted coldly: "What I said is that those Diao people are looking for their own death, no wonder we are ruthless!" β
