Yuan Shu's departure was somewhat unexpected by Pei Qing, originally Pei Qing thought that he would take Runan as his foundation and then march towards Shouchun, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to directly give up the land of Runan.

However, although Yuan Shu left, the current Runan is almost in ruins, which makes Zhou Pei, who originally belonged to Runan, very angry, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Highway is also from the Runan clan anyway, and he actually did this kind of thing to destroy Sangzi, it is really indignant and intolerable!" ”

Pei Qing didn't expect him to be so excessive, and he secretly sighed in his heart, this Yuan Shu did it ruthlessly, and it is estimated that although he is also a celebrity in Runan from now on, he must be notoriety, not a good name.

But no matter what, the land of Runan can't just be so barren, otherwise it will really become a dead place.

Therefore, after Yuan Shu retreated, Pei Qing immediately set about rebuilding the affairs of Runan.

In fact, the military defense of Runan is not too big a problem, after all, the city wall is difficult to destroy, even if it is destroyed, it will be built again, but the problem now is that Runan is seriously lacking population, and most of the people were driven to Shouchun by Yuan Shu, although Pei Qing resettled the people who ran from Runan to Pei Qing's rule to Runan, but they all added up to only twenty or thirty thousand people, and in a radius of hundreds of miles, twenty or thirty thousand people were really pitiful, and even a county before was far away.

Just when Pei Qing was feeling a headache about this matter, he only heard Zheng Chang come in and report: "Lord, General Yuan Shao came to visit with a large number of troops and subordinates, according to what he said, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that entered my Yuzhou have all been pacified, but these troops and subordinates are difficult to arrange, so please ask the lord to find a way to help solve it." ”

"Oh? This is really good, Brother Guo, he is simply timely rain, it is too timely, I am worried that there is no one to settle in Runan, but he has brought me so many Yellow Turban tribesmen, now Runan is saved. ”

Pei Qing was very excited when he heard this, and personally went out to greet Pei Yuanshao.

"The last general, Pei Guo, has seen the lord." Seeing Pei Qing again, Pei Yuanshao was also very happy in his heart, but he also knew that now was not the time to be in the cottage, Pei Qing was already a prince respected by everyone, and if he called his brother and brother, it would be a little unruly.

Therefore, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly saluted Pei Qing respectfully, and the number of courtesies was very respectful.

Of course, Pei Qing couldn't accept it in a big way, but took Pei Yuanshao's hand and said, "Between you and me, how can you get so many courtesies?" Come on, Brother Yuan Shaoxian, I'm looking for you for something. ”

Then Pei Qing pulled Pei Yuanshao into the account and asked him for details.

It turned out that after Pei Yuanshao arrived at Xiaopei, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban had already arrived first, and those Qu Shuai knew the severity, restrained their subordinates, and asked them to abide by the rules and not to rob and take indiscriminately, but these Yellow Turban tribes were not under one person after all, and the discipline was also poor, and there was a plundering of the people the next day.

At this time, Pei Yuanshao arrived with a large army and immediately ordered to surround these Yellow Turban tribes who were endangering the people and launched an attack on them.

Although Pei Yuanshao did not kill him, these people were also beaten to the point of breaking their tendons and bones, and they became dead dogs lying on the ground.

The leader of this team then played right and wrong and wanted to stir up trouble, but Pei Yuanshao saw their little trick at a glance, and decisively led the army to arrive in front of the two armies, announced the behavior of the Yellow Turban troops on the spot, and said Pei Qing's strict military discipline, and sternly warned them that if they surrendered to Pei Qing in the future, these military disciplines must not be violated.

Of course, Pei Yuanshao also told them about the current treatment of the officers and soldiers in the army.

In fact, the reason why the soldiers under Pei Qing's command are willing to serve is mainly related to the higher treatment of the officers and soldiers in the army, all the Juntian households, as long as they have family members to join the army, can be exempted from taxes and conscription for three years, and if there are two people who enlist in the army, they can be exempted from taxes and conscription for five years, in addition to strict rewards and punishments, all fallen soldiers also have high pensions, and it will also be guaranteed that the families of fallen soldiers can be exempted from taxes for 15 years, and they will be exempted from military service for life, and their sons will be supported by the government, and they will be sent to the official school after the age of seven.

In addition, Pei Qing also announced to them the policy of Juntianhu, when they heard that as long as they could cultivate the land allocated for cultivation for five consecutive years, half of the land could belong to them, and the other half could continue to cultivate until they died, and then handed over to the government, they were all excited.

The subordinates of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban had never even heard of such a high treatment, so after listening to Pei Yuanshao's introduction, they all breathed heavily, their eyes were red, and they shouted loudly to demand that they surrender to Pei Yuanshao immediately, looking at their posture, if their leaders did not allow it, they would immediately rebel and kill all the leaders who hindered their financial routes.

Therefore, the three or four hundred thousand Yellow Turban troops surrendered without any hesitation, and everyone who had a little strength shouted loudly to join the army, but Pei Qing still selected them carefully, and only then did he choose 50,000 soldiers.

"In this way, the army under my command is actually not much worse than the Xiliang army, but the 50,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has just taken shape, and it has not been trained yet, and the combat effectiveness must be very scummy, and the defense of Runan, Peiguo and other places has not been properly deployed, even if everything is almost the same, I can only send 350,000 troops to Qinwang at most, which is still a lot worse than the Xiliang army, so if you want to lead the troops to Qinwang, the best way is to establish an alliance and send troops together, so that you can avoid fighting alone, It can not only reduce casualties, but also show its appeal, but the top priority is to arrange the construction of Runan. ”

Pei Qing thought of this, so he said to Pei Yuanshao: "Brother Xian, I have a more difficult mission here that I want to entrust to you, I don't know if you are willing to ......"

Pei Yuanshao heard this and hurriedly said: "The lord doesn't need to be so polite, the last general is the brother of the lord, and the lord's business is the last general's business, no matter what, as long as the lord commands, the last general must do his best." ”

"Well, since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush, here's the thing, Yuan Shu was unable to defend Runan under the successive blows of our army, so he took the initiative to evacuate Runan, but before leaving, all the people of Runan were forcibly relocated to Shouchun, and even the water source was sealed, so now Runan is a desolation, only twenty or thirty thousand people fled to my Yuzhou, but Runan is a county to which I Yuzhou, I naturally can't watch it be deserted, so I decided to rebuild Runan, but the population there is too small, And is there a county guard with prestige......."

"The meaning of the lord will be understood, the last general is willing to take these yellow turban troops to Runan, as long as the lord gives me 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will be enough to hold Runan, but the general's internal affairs ability is a little insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to effectively promote the construction of Runan......"

"Don't worry about this, I will send strong internal affairs talents to assist you."

Subsequently, Pei Qingbiao Pei Yuanshao was the Taishou of Runan, and promoted his military rank to General Jianwei Zhonglang, allocated him 15,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, allocated equipment, horses, grain and grass, together with his headquarters men and horses, a total of 20,000 people were gathered to be responsible for building the defense of Runan.

At the same time, Zheng Hun was appointed as the governor of Runan County, assisted Pei Yuanshao in handling political affairs, arranged Tuntian affairs, and at the same time ordered Zhou Pei to engage in literature for Runan, and let him go to Runan to be responsible for education.
