Chapter 25 Assumption of office

After three days of adaptation training, Yao Jie set off for Youbeiping County.

In terms of area, the area of the right Beiping is not small, during the Han Dynasty, the political and economic center has not moved south, so the population density in the north is far greater than that in the south, on the other hand, the south is vast and sparsely populated, so the administrative division of a county can reach the size of three or four counties in the north, the right Beiping County is placed in the north, the area can only be said to be not large, nor is it small, but the population is pitfall, the population of Youzhou is small, and the right Beiping is one of the typical.

"Pass the order down, advance twenty miles a day, and then start training, we don't have much time, we have to train while walking." Yao Jie ordered.

"No." The generals replied.

So on the road from Jicheng to Youbeiping, a strange scene appeared, an army only advanced twenty miles a day and set up camp, after camping, they did not rest, but immediately began to train hard.

This matter quickly penetrated the ears of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu didn't care, but Gongsun Zhan was a little crazy, Jicheng was in Guangyang County, and he had just been promoted to Guangyang Taishou, Yao Jie walked so slowly every day, if it weren't for the fact that he was training desperately every day, Gongsun Chan would have wondered if Yao Jie was ready to stay in Guangyang and not leave.

"Come on, go and ask Yao Taishou when he can take office as soon as possible." Gongsun Chan said.

On the official road, "Lord Taishou, Gongsun Taishou asked the lower officials to ask when you will be able to take office." A local official said with sincere fear.

"Tell Gongsun Taishou that there are too many recruits under the command of Ben General, and he needs to be trained, and he will be out of Guangyang soon, please don't worry about him." Yao Jie said expressionlessly, As for what will happen in the future, of course what should be done or what should be done, his Gongsun Zhan's opinion is my business.

In this way, by the time Yao Jie arrived at Tuyin County, the seat of Youbeiping, it was already May.

In Tuyin County, several Han officers and soldiers were standing guard at the gate of the city, looking drowsy, and there were few people entering the city anyway, suddenly, a terrible gong and drum sounded on the city tower, and several soldiers seemed to remember something, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly ran into the city to close the city gate.

Wang Qun, the county commander of Tuyin County, came to the city wall, and watched a pale yellow yellow line on the edge of the sky gradually pressed over, and couldn't help but be full of big men, the officers and soldiers and servants of the entire Tuyin County were less than five hundred, and the army that came from outside was neatly paced, obviously well-trained, and it looked boundless, although Wang Qun was not familiar with the military, but he also knew that the number of people was more than 10,000 and it looked boundless.

As the other party got closer and closer, Wang Qun had already seen clearly that the other party was in Han army uniform, and the banner was also Han, but Wang Qun still didn't dare to relax, it was very suspicious that tens of thousands of Han troops suddenly appeared in a barren place like Youbeiping, and even if the other party was really a Han army, it didn't mean that it could be relaxed, who knew what the other party's military discipline was, and whether it would harm the people.

The Han army outside the city stopped three miles away from Tuyin County, apparently preparing to set up camp.

At this time, a messenger on horseback came to the city and said, "Which one is the commander of Tuyin County?" ”

"This official Tuyin County Ling Wang Qun." Wang Qundao.

"The general of my family is the new Taishou of Youbeiping, and the holy purpose is here, and he will not open the door quickly." The messenger said to the king.

Wang Qun asked people to put down a bamboo basket and said, "Please wait for a while, can you tell the holy decree to this official to investigate." ”

This time, the messenger didn't talk nonsense, and directly put the holy decree into the bamboo basket, and he also knew that the other party would not open the city gate based on his words.

Wang Qun picked up the holy decree and examined it carefully, and found that it was indeed a holy decree from Luoyang, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "I haven't kept it too much for a few years, why did the imperial court suddenly send another one." "Muttering and muttering, Wang Qun still doesn't dare to think carefully, he is not stupid, is the other party so many troops vegetarian? Wang Qun ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome Lord Taishou." ”

The city gate slowly opened, and after Yao Jie arranged the stationing of the army, he brought five hundred guards into the city.

Tuyin County, the county government, Yao Jie looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, which recorded various materials in Tuyin County.

"Tuyin County is the Youbeiping Governance Office, and all the materials are concentrated here, is it possible that the grain and grass in the four counties of Youbeiping are less than 10,000 stones?" Yao Jie said angrily to Wang Qun.

Wang Qun instantly sweated like rain, and said stubbornly: "You Beiping has not been guarded too much for several years, plus there are only four counties, and it is in a bitter cold land, the land is barren, and there is not much harvest at all. ”

Although Wang Qun's words are reasonable, Yao Jie will not believe them all, the land of Youbeiping is indeed barren, plus there are only four counties in Youbeiping, the population is sparse, even if it is Zhishuo Tuyin County, there are only 20,000 people, but no matter how barren and bitter cold it is, it will not be only so much grain and grass, Yao Jie received 200,000 stone of grain and grass from Liu Yu this time, enough for 30,000 troops to eat for a year, and there is no shortage of grain and grass in a short time, but it does not mean that he can tolerate someone touching his things, yes, Yao Jie has already regarded the materials of Youbeiping as his own.

In this era, exploitation is indispensable everywhere, and in places like Youbeiping, although the big families can't look down on them, it's still possible to breed a few small landlords.

"It seems that some people think that his knife is not sharp." Yao Jie sneered in his heart, he will not be accustomed to those people, Taizu said that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, Yao Jie has always thought that it is true, if he takes office alone, it is estimated that he really has no ability to change anything, but he now not only has an army of 30,000, but also nearly 50,000 prisoners brought over to reclaim the wasteland, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake just means that the dragon is not strong enough.

"Someone, Zhaoyun Chang is coming to see me." Yao Jie said.

A quarter of an hour later, Guan Yu came to Yao Jie and said, "Big brother, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Yun Chang, you ask people to inquire about the landlords with bad deeds in this right Beiping, but remember not to startle the snake." Yao Jie said to Guan Yu.

"Just this little thing?" Guan Yu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Some people want to try that my knives are not sharp." Yao Jie said lightly.

After hearing this, Guan Yu instantly understood that Yao Jie was trying to make an example of the monkey, nodded and said, "Don't worry, big brother, leave it to me." ”
