The so-called government soldier system actually turned all these 100,000 households into serfs in the imperial court, or Liu Bei's own serfs. Only the 10,000 families who had their children to serve as soldiers were able to get the benefits of low tax rates and exemption from forced labor, which were still exchanged for their lives.

Not to mention whether the serfdom system is backward or not, this kind of behavior is tantamount to Liu Bei robbing the population in the hands of local tyrants. Population is actually wealth, and these people will no longer become powerful serfs if they become Liu Bei's serfs. This kind of deprivation of money is tantamount to killing one's parents. And the revenge of killing his father is not shared, so Liu Ping sent someone to assassinate Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is completely understandable.

However, understanding is understanding, Liu Bei did not let go of this Liu Ping's meaning. This kind of opportunity to make an example to the door must not be missed.

The implementation of the government soldier system allowed Liu Bei to control most of the population of the plain, and Liu Bei easily mobilized more than 10,000 horses. If it weren't for the fact that the plain at this time happened to be threatened by the two enemies in the north and south, Liu Bei really couldn't do it in a short time.

Otherwise, Liu Bei really didn't have much confidence to clean up Liu Ping's place. This kind of heroism has to control thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of troops who can wear armor and weapons, before they dare to dominate one side, and even dare to send people to assassinate Taishou.

In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack, Liu Bei ordered the city gate to be closed, and only allowed to enter but not to exit.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei opened the gate of the plain city and led 500 elite soldiers and 6,000 soldiers out of the city. Went straight to Liu Ping, the biggest local hero in the plains. This is called killing the monkey to show the chicken, and always killing the chicken to show the monkey, the monkey will not be afraid. On the contrary, if you kill a monkey, the remaining chickens will feel frightened and dare not want to resist, so they can only obediently obey orders.

Luoyang and his entourage, and became the plain minister, Liu Bei is now also wide, not only has 300 pairs of armored horses, but also 1,000 pairs of armor, including 300 pairs of iron armor and 700 pairs of leather armor, these armors are equipped with personal soldiers.

The 6,000 soldiers were organized into two brigades of 3,000 people, each with 1,000 people practicing swords and shields, 1,000 people practicing spear formations, and 1,000 people practicing bows and arrows. The establishment of more than 100 people became a three-tier system, and the smallest unit was 300 people, which was a battalion, which could just fight alone.

Although the military parades of later generations are mighty and majestic, they cannot be copied at all, and the difference between cold and cold is too great. In the era of queuing to shoot, to see if an infantryman is qualified, just look at the posture of his kicking and shooting. In the era of cold weapons, a group of people wearing iron armor, wearing iron helmets, and holding spears, big knives, bows and arrows couldn't kick right at all, and as soon as they raised their legs, they had to be blocked by the skirt part of the battle armor.

Rao was like this, and more than 6,500 people marched on the main road in unison, and naturally there was a feeling of menacing.

At this moment, it is already winter, and the ground has been frozen Bangbang hard, it is really not a good season to move troops, Liu Bei looked up at the weather, fortunately, the sun is shining, and the weather is not bad.

But think of the German army that swept across Europe and was finally defeated by winter under Moscow. There is also the tragic situation of the very frost-resistant red polar bear in the icy snow of even colder Finland. Liu Bei suddenly regretted a little, if he hadn't beaten Liu Ping, he would have been given by others

Killing chickens and showing monkeys is that I am afraid that I will not be able to stand this plain appearance.

It's just that it's too late to regret it, Liu Bei ordered loudly: "Pass the order, beat down the anti-thief Liu Ping's family, and feast on the soldiers." Naturally, someone gave the order to leave, which immediately aroused a cheer.

At this time, thieves arose, and the powerful people in various places formed villages to protect themselves, and Liu Ping was naturally no exception. There is a chapter dedicated to guarding against thieves in the Four Peoples Monthly Order. When he arrived at Liu Pingwubao, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.

The powerful forces of this era are really strong, where is this a small village, it is clearly a small city.

This kind of powerful Wu Fort was formed around the time of Wang Mang, when there was a great hunger in the north and social turmoil. In order to protect themselves, the families of the rich built the walls of the dock forts. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty ordered the destruction of Wubao, but fortunately it was not successful in the end.

However, Liu Bei also knew that if it weren't for such a heroic and powerful Wubao, it would be impossible to keep that bloodline from being cut off when the five ethnic minorities went south and engaged in ethnic integration.

According to the records of the time, there were only about forty or fifty Haoqiang in the whole of North China who formed villages to protect themselves, the large ones were four or five thousand, and the small ones were 1,500 households, and the full number of households would not exceed 200,000, and the population would not exceed 2 million, and the rest were all lost by the great integration of ethnic groups.

The walls look relatively strong, made of stones of similar size, and the whole small city can accommodate twenty or thirty thousand people, to say the least, and if there are enough supplies in it, it may be no problem to hold out for three or two months.

The town is surrounded by large areas of farmland, and many serfs attached to Liu Ping's family live in low-slung wooden houses. At this moment, seeing Liu Bei's army, they were all a little flustered. In fact, not only were they flustered, but Liu Bei was also a little flustered, this kind of small but sturdy town has always been a nightmare for siegers.

Do you want to catch these ordinary people like the Yellow Turban thieves to attack the city, shaking his head, Liu Bei denied this idea, it is not that Liu Bei is worried about the people's hearts,

The kind of thing that wins the hearts of the people wins the world and so on is a few handfuls of eggs. Historically, it is often the kind of political power that can squeeze the largest and most human, material, and financial resources from the population under its jurisdiction to achieve the final victory, and the person who wins will naturally win the hearts and minds of the people.

At the end of the day, everything is easy to say as long as there is victory. In the words of the bearded bear: the victor is not condemned.

The so-called success or defeat is not the slander of the loser by the victor, but the opportunity for the victor to clear his name as a thief.

In history, Cao Cao respected the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he did not ask for ministers in the respect of the Son of Heaven, and he slaughtered the city when he should have slaughtered the city, and he killed the prisoners when he should have killed them, and it was a piece of cake to catch the common people as people's husbands. Isn't it the same that some people say that he is cute, and I don't know that he threw his whole family to the end of the Han Dynasty and let Prime Minister Cao be slaughtered once, and he didn't realize that Cao Cao was cute.

But Liu Bei knew that population was the greatest wealth of this era, and the combined population of all countries during the Three Kingdoms period was less than 10 million. In the future, I will rely on this group of ordinary people to grow food to feed the army, and when everyone is killed, who will plant the land and pay for me and go on a business trip as a soldier.

Since you don't want to attack, you have to outwit it. Liu Bei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering the method used by Sun Jian to kill Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Wang Rong and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi.

When Sun Jian killed the assassin of Jingzhou, he first sent soldiers to surround the city, and then threatened that the soldiers worked hard, asked for a reward from the assassin, and promised to leave immediately after receiving the reward. Wang Rong let the soldiers into the city to check the treasury, but he didn't expect Sun Jian to sneak into the city by himself disguised as a soldier. Then Sun Jian used the charge of ignorance to force Wang Rong to commit suicide by drinking gold.

It can be seen from this incident that at this time, the ruling order of the Han Dynasty was close to collapse, and it was not strange for the army to blackmail local officials and extort property, so Sun Jian was able to kill Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rong in such a simple and cunning way, since this is the case, Liu Bei immediately ordered: "Pass my order, and all the flags in the generals will be put down." ”

Then Liu Bei ordered the troops to surround the front gate of the small city, and shouted loudly: "We are the soldiers of the plains county, and now that the winter is here, there is a shortage of food and clothing, and we will not open the city gate quickly to reward, I will wait for a full meal, and leave immediately, otherwise open the village and let the people of the village die." ”

Hurry up and open the door, Liu Bei hid in a group of soldiers and prayed silently.
