In the past two years, Jizhou, the land of Guangwu Longxing, has changed its owners three times, first Jizhou Mu Hanfu, then Yuan Shao, and finally Liu Bei. This makes the people of Jizhou have a feeling that the Jizhou pastoral dynasty is precarious.

Among them, Han Fu is the official Jizhou pastor appointed by the imperial court, and Yuan Shao is the Jizhou where Han Fu made the virtuous, but Liu Bei is the only one who sent troops to defeat Yuan Shao, and he is a force snatcher who eats fruits, and he does not have the title of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan. In terms of reputation, Liu Bei is a little weak, so Liu Bei very much hopes to get the title of Jizhou Mu from the imperial court.

It's a pity that there are not people in the court who understand, so naturally they will not easily give such an important title to Liu Bei. Even, Zhao Qi also mentioned that if he wanted Liu Bei to enter Chang'an to assist the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei of course ignored it, Zhao Qi was not Li Wei's confidant, and he didn't want Liu Bei to go to Chang'an. It's just that the will I received is like this, so I have to say a word.

In the past year, Liu Bei has carefully sorted out the internal affairs of Jizhou, mainly to promote the government soldier system to the entire Jizhou.

Among them, there is naturally no small resistance.

On the surface, Jizhou and Qingzhou seem to be somewhat similar, Qingzhou has a million Yellow Turban Army, Jizhou has a million Black Mountain Army, and the local family and the powerful forces should be weakened.

However, these two states are actually not the same thing at all, and the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou have really washed Qingzhou.

And the million-strong Black Mountain Army in Jizhou, although it was also powerful at the beginning, was recruited in the end, so it failed to completely wash the family and Haoqiang in the territory like Qingzhou.

For the family and Haoqiang in Jizhou, the Montenegrin Army seems to be a "touchstone". Those weak families, strong and strong families are all eliminated, and all those who can be left are through the annexation of other people's land and population, so as to further strengthen the powerful people, so the local families and strong strength in Jizhou are far more than those in Qingzhou.

In the past year, Liu Bei has used various means to suppress an unknown number of local rebellions, and has captured dozens of powerful and large families, and more than 10,000 people to exile the island.

Finally, Liu Bei gradually pushed the government soldier system down, the essence of the government soldier system, in fact, is the public ownership of land, and then used the land to control the peasants, forcing the peasants to go into battle to kill the enemy desperately.

In less than half a year, the imperial court granted amnesty to the world, and was invited back by Liu Bei, and was directly appointed as a soldier of Wei County. In order to restore the family business as soon as possible, his family's land was confiscated by Liu Bei, and he really tried his best to implement the government soldier system.

Now that the entire Jizhou has been sorted out, there is now only one Montenegrin Army left, which is not yet under Liu Bei's control.

What's even worse is that Li Dao sent a Jizhou pastor, who was in the hands of Zhang Yan, because although Zhang Yan has always been called a black mountain thief, he is strictly a Zhonglang general of the imperial court and one of the princes.

Zhang Yan is a native of Changshan Zhending, and Zhao Yun is a fellow villager, and his surname is Chu. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, troops also rebelled.

Later, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty broke his trust in the people, and originally said that he would be exempted from paying taxes on money and grain for one year, but he regretted it halfway and began to collect money, and Jizhou was in chaos.

Boling Zhang Niujiao once again raised the banner of Zhang Jiao, self-appointed as a general, and united with Zhang Yan. Zhang Niujiao died in battle, and everyone elected Chu Yan as handsome, so he changed his surname to Zhang. Yan plagiarized and defended quickly, so the army was called Feiyan.

After Zhang Yan's wings gradually became large, Emperor Ling could not be recruited, and the counties of Hebei were harmed. It is to send people to Kyoto to beg and surrender, and worship Zhang Yan as the general of the peace.

Originally, Zhang Yan also wanted to take advantage of the competition between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan to sneak attack Yecheng. As a result, Yuan Shao died too quickly, Yecheng was taken by Liu Bei, and tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed, so Zhang Yan did not dare to attack Yecheng.

Now, Liu Bei is going to take the initiative to attack Zhang Yan.

In the fourth year of the first peace, 193 AD, April.

With the bumper harvest of winter wheat, Liu Bei's grain and grass in his hands were once again sufficient, and he had the confidence to use troops on a large scale. Only then did he recruit his final advisers and generals to discuss with everyone to pacify the Black Mountain thieves.

"Montenegro is located between Yecheng, Hanoi, Ji County, and Zhongshan, where the mountains are high and dense, continuous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous. It is difficult for the army to pass, and the enemy should not be underestimated. Xi Zhicai said.

Liu Bei nodded, that's right, this place in Taihang Mountain is a good place to fight guerrillas. In this way, you need a mountain infantryman.

At this moment, a person on the side said: "Xuande Gong, forgive that Black Mountain Zhang Yan, it's just a mere grass coward, what a way!" Although he is not talented, he is willing to borrow thousands of elite soldiers, behead them, and hang them at the gate of Yecheng. ”

Liu Beixin said that it was okay, but he didn't come up, so he called Lao Tzu "Xuande", and he called him "Xuande Gong".

Everyone saw that this person was about thirty years old, less than forty years old, more than nine feet tall, extremely large, with a majestic physique, and wearing a brocade robe. With a purple ribbon on his waist and two gold seals, it is Wenhou, General Fenwei, Lu Bu, and Lu Fengxian.

At the beginning, Lu Bu took Dong Zhuo's head and went to Nanyang to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, dozens of members of the Yuan family died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo and avenged Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu suspected him of repeatedly, and was wary of Lu Bu, Lu Bu thought that he was kind to the Yuan family, and when he saw that Yuan Shu did not want to see him, he was very angry and ordered his subordinates to rob everywhere, and the relationship with Yuan Shu was very stiff.

Lu Bu was helpless, and ran to his hometown again, and Hanoi was too guarded.

Zhang Yang, whose name is Uncle Zhi, is a native of Yunzhong County, Bingzhou, and Lu Bu originally served under Ding Yuan. After Dong Zhuo took power, he did not take refuge in it. Zhang Yang is "benevolent and peaceful, and has no coercion and punishment", even if his subordinates rebelled, he only "wept about it" after he found out, and he was not held accountable.

Zhang Yang is kind-hearted, but in the troubled times, there must be a decisive and ruthless side, Zhang Yang does not even pursue the rebels, he has not achieved anything big in his life, he is always a second- or third-rate character, in the end, he was betrayed and killed by his subordinates, it is estimated that his subordinates also feel that rebellion is nothing, it's a big deal, and then cry again.

However, Zhang Yang is a reliable person.

Zhang Yang's subordinate generals took a fancy to the bounty offered by Li Dao and others, and wanted to exchange Lu Bu for reward. After Lu Bu found out, he said to Zhang Yang: "I, Lu Bu and you, are fellow countrymen, and it is not cost-effective for you to kill me, it is better to escort me to Chang'an, and I can get the rewards of Li Dao and Guo Yan." ”

Zhang Yang allowed Li Dao and Guo Yan to actually protect Lu Bu. But the attitude of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, he also had to consider that Zhang Yang couldn't withstand the pressure of Li Guo and others, and Lu Bu finally left.

Lü Bu left Zhang Yang and went north from Hanoi County to Jizhou to join Liu Bei. In fact, Liu Bei just drove Lu Bu away, and no one would say anything about Liu Bei. But after Liu Bei thought about it, he still decided to respect history and leave Lu Bu behind, didn't Liu Bei in history just take in Lu Bu, although he was bitten back in the end.

Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu with a smile and said, "Wenhou, you come to vote for me." Is it to serve, or to be a temporary resting place? ”
