That's not all, this county lieutenant of Baishui County actually personally led half of the defenders in the county to help defend at Dajian Pass.

To be honest, if you only look at the 1,500 people brought by this county lieutenant, the actual effect that can be played is minimal, but the influence brought by these 1,500 soldiers in Baishui County is quite shocking.

In the past, some local families and landlords in Baishui County and Jiameng County who also refused to pay or paid very little land levies, fearing that Gao Xiang would use the same reason to deal with them, hurriedly led a team to Dajian Pass in person, on the one hand, to pay Gao Xiang the full amount of land and poll tax that year, on the other hand, the people of Baishui County mistakenly thought that Gao Xiang was recruiting the people and was conscripting labor, and they 'empathetic' recruited a full amount of strong men for him in accordance with the Han law.

Tian Fu and poll tax, after Gao Xiang accepted it, he had no psychological burden, but he had to act cautiously when it came to Zhuangding. If it is here in Jiameng County, Gao Xiang will collect it, dig a trench, and if there are more people, it can be completed earlier. However, according to the current progress, there is no need for the strong men of Baishui County at all.

However, just send these strong men back to their hometowns and give money, the government spends money in vain, and these strong men may not be grateful; But if they don't give a penny, they will throw the responsibility of disturbing the people on Jin Juejun's head.

Before coming, Jin Jue repeatedly instructed Gao Xiang that it was almost winter, and the matter of digging a trench only needed to recruit the people near Dajian Pass in Jiameng County, and not to disturb the people at will, especially to involve the people of Baishui County.

Since the matter had happened, Gao Xiang immediately sent someone to urgently pass on the situation here to Jin Jue without concealment.

Jin Jue quickly replied, in which he ordered that if the work of digging the trench progressed fast enough, Gao Xiang should send troops to escort the Zhuang men and their families recruited from Baishui County and Jiameng County to Langzhong County.

In the letter, Jin Jue did not explain why he sent the people recruited from the two counties to Langzhong County, and even the two important strategists Fa Zheng and Fu Gan, who are now at his side, can't guess what his intentions are.

This time, not only Gao Xiang here, but before that, Jin Jue had already issued the same order to the chief officials of the remaining counties of Guanghan County currently controlled by Jin Jue's army - according to the Han law, the local destitute people were recruited to serve in forced labor, and the recruited people were sent to Langzhong County together with their families.

Jin Jue's purpose in doing this was to lay out in advance for the establishment of his rule in the entire Yizhou Thorn History Department in the future.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the world into fourteen states, China already had a new sense of locality, and in the past, China was only differentiated according to the territory of the Warring States countries.

This was especially true in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In particular, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou, three large and remote prefectures, are relatively xenophobic among the local scholars and common people.

This is why the Sun-Wu regime later became one of the last three kingdom regimes to be destroyed, while on the Yizhou side, those in power repeatedly surrendered to foreign enemies.

Without him, the Sun family was originally a wealthy family in Jiangnan, but starting from Liu Yan, the people in power here in Yizhou were all foreigners.

Whenever the war situation was not favorable to the Yizhou side, those in power were forced to surrender to the hostile forces due to the situation, and the real reason was hidden by history and literati. The reason why Liu Zhang and Liu Chan chose to surrender was not because they were cowardly and incompetent, but because they were forced by the situation at that time.

For example, Liu Chan, there were still many people in Shuzhong who were loyal to him at that time, but after Zhuge Zhan's defeat, the local forces in Yizhou led by Qian Zhou had gathered together and secretly exerted force to persecute Liu Chan, and it was precisely because the smart Liu Chan saw this that he chose to surrender to Deng Ai immediately.

Later, Zhong Hui listened to Jiang Wei's nonsense and tried to raise troops to become the new master of Yizhou, and many of those who surrendered to the local forces in Yizhou were implicated and killed in this attempted rebellion. But Liu Chan's family is safe and sound in this turmoil.

Liu Chan himself died a straight death.

Therefore, Jin Jue was ready to adopt the method of swapping the people in Hanzhong County with the people in Guanghan County and Shu County, and laid out in advance to further consolidate his dominance in the entire Yizhou.

At this time, the elite of the entire Yizhou Thorn History Department is in Hanzhong County and Shu County, and the third place is Guanghan County.

However, if Jin Jue wants to implement the plan of the next step of attacking the Yizhou Thorn History Department - the siege and reinforcement plan, he naturally needs to use the local people of Shu County, so his relocation of the people this time did not involve Shu County.

Why does Jin Jue trust the people of Hanzhong County so much?

First, reward.

So far, in the battles that took place in Ba County, Guanghan County and Shu County, there are two major groups that have contributed to the establishment of Jin Jue.

First, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who took the initiative to defect to Jin Jue.

Second, the soldiers of the former Zhang Lu Army.

And Zhang Lujun's generals, only Yang Ren and Yang Ang were reused by Jin Jue, as for Yang Song, who took the initiative to surrender to Jin Jue, Jin Jue would definitely not let him be an official again, and even the land would not be given to him, at most, after taking Chengdu City, he would be rewarded with more gold and silver treasures.

If a person like Yang Song, who is greedy for money and has no integrity, has to be an official, Jin Jue will take the initiative to send them to the four counties in the south of Yizhou. The number of barbarians in the four southern counties of Yizhou is much higher than that of the Han people, and at the same time, in addition to Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake, the territory of the four counties has many mountains and few plains, and the output is not much.

Therefore, these four counties, except for a few key points, such as Dianchi County and Kunming, even if all the other counties rebelled and lost to the local forces of the barbarians, Jin Jue would not send troops to recruit them, just open the passage to Dianchi County and Kunming. That is to say, as long as these barbarians do not block the passage and connection between Jin Jue's army and these two counties, Jin Jue will not care about them.

And the officials who were sent here by Jin Jue to be the county guard and the county commander must be prepared to be killed.

In the original time and space, there were many officials in the Shu Han regime who died at the hands of the barbarians, for example, Xiang Zhong, a new military general of the Shu Han Dynasty who could be favored by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang at the same time, died in the rebellion of the barbarians.

Moreover, more importantly, there are now seventy or eighty thousand families of the Yellow Turban Army gathered in Hanzhong County, which are the most loyal to Jin Jue, and those believers in Hanzhong County who originally believed in the Five Dou Rice Sect, Jin Jue also has a way to tame them and become his most loyal subjects.
