Chapter 254: Quick Knife Elimination of Harm and Re-enquest of Hanzhong
After entering the city, Liu Shi recruited Jia Xu, Xu Fu, Zhang Song, Peng Tuo and others to discuss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Peng Tuo said: "Now that the Nanyang Army, the Yizhou Mansion and the Yongzhou Hussar General's Mansion have just been integrated, the people's hearts are unstable, and it is urgent to let all parties do their jobs, and each prefecture and county has a division to govern, otherwise there will be a big problem." ”
Xu Fudao: "The three pillars of the Nanyang army have just passed away, the people's hearts are unstable, the soldiers are suspicious, and the hussar general must make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Song said: "Although Yizhou is Liu Zhang's weakness and turmoil is common, at this time, the general should come up with governance measures as soon as possible to reassure the people." ”
Liu Shi nodded, and after understanding the characters in the Nanyang army and the ability of Yizhou generals with a few people, especially Zhang Song and Xu Fu.
Liu Shi announced that Liu Zhang was the assassin of Yongzhou and arrived early, Liu Zhen was the general of Anxi and the assassin of Yizhou, Zhang Song was the governor of the middle, Yan Yan was the other driver, and Fei Guan and Huang Quan were engaged in Yizhou. Peng Tuo is the governor of Jing and Yifang, Xu Fu is the general of the military division, Liu Qi is the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Zhuge Liang is engaged in the military division, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Zhang Yi is engaged in the hussar mansion, Xu Rong is the general of the Han Dynasty, Chen Zhi is the general of Pingnan, Liu Pan is the general of Zhongyong, Wen Ping is the general of loyalty, table Ying is the general of Yongyi, He Yi is the general of Guiyi, Wu Anguo is the general of Dangkou, Huo Jun is the general of Zhonglang, Chen Jun and Zhang Xiang are the generals of Zhonglang, Liu Feng, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Wang Ping are lieutenants, and the rest of Wu Yi and Li Yan are Zhonglang generals. Ling Bao and Deng Xian were lieutenants.
After the personnel appointments were completed, Liu Shicai ordered Zhang Song and Jia Xu to clean up the households, mouths, and money and grain in Yizhou, and ordered Peng Tuo to integrate the soldiers in Nanyang and Yizhou.
In the past few days, a total of about 3 million people have been cleared out of Yizhou, and nearly 1 million people have been Yi, with a total of 130,000 people in the two parts, but more than 20,000 people are old and weak soldiers, who were cleared out one by one by Peng Tuo and placed in a tuntian. For those who have a family to retire and return home, they will enjoy one to three acres of land.
However, Liu Shi found that the land annexation in Yizhou was serious, and the state could not even take out tens of thousands of acres of public land, and the population was even more strange; when the former state pastor took over, there were more than 4 million people in Yizhou's household registration, and the number of slaves reported by the Yizhou clan was extremely inconsistent with the number of registered personnel, and some of the big clans actually occupied hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. In places where land annexation is serious, there are many thieves, the county is not quiet, and it is even more common to attack the government and break the county, and the officials stationed in the Yizhou Prefecture have been killed many times, resulting in many places where no one dares to take office, resulting in a vacancy in the government and can only be self-governing by the local clans.
Liu Shi felt that there must be suspicions, and secretly sent Yang Feng to pretend to be a ranger to investigate, and when he came back, he reported that most of the thieves had colluded with the local clans to murder the government and the people, causing some of the people to have to enter the mountains to become bandits for self-protection.
Liu Shi smiled coldly, and ordered Jia Xu, Zhang Song, Zhang Meng, Yan Xing, and Wu Yi to form an army of 30,000 to conquer the bandits everywhere.
At this time, news came: "Cao Cao has captured Danyang and Wu County, and Sun Quan has retreated to Huiji." ”
Liu Shi was stunned! Secretly said: "This Cao Cao is so fast!" ”
Ordered Chen Zhi and Xu Fu to lead an army of 20,000 to Yidao to prevent Cao Cao from invading Yizhou from Jingzhou along the river, and ordered Chen Jun to be a general, Zhang Xiang as an auxiliary, and led an army of 20,000 to recover Qike County, and then went straight out of Jingnan Wuling to join Wenpin, and attacked Cao's army from Jingnan.
In less than three months, the two counties of Guanghan and Shu counties were pacified, and dozens of wealthy families, gentry and bandits were found to have colluded with the bandits, and Liu Shi was uprooted, and the money obtained was hundreds of millions of dollars, more than one million acres of fertile land, and more than 50,000 slaves were found to have been omitted.
Liu Shi was furious! All counties in Yizhou were ordered to declare the number of slaves and acres of fertile land owned by them as soon as possible, pay donations according to the amount, and obey hard labor.
When the decree came out, in addition to some of the county guards who rejected the envoys, the county government killed the envoys. In particular, after the Yi people were killed, they would send messengers to kill them, and they would hang their bodies on trees.
When the news came to the city, Liu Shi hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss.
Zhang Song said: "Yi people do not know etiquette, lazy and stupid, do not farm, hunt for a living, life is extremely poor, their leaders often ask our Han people for money, grain, oil and salt, etc., do not give to the Han people to attack the government and the people under my rule." For hundreds of years, it has always been like this, and it is difficult to cure it. ”
Jia Xu said gloomily: "There are only nearly a million people in this Yi, just move them down the mountain, or move them to the hinterland of Shuzhong, educate them to know etiquette, know filial piety, and solve their troubles." ”
Peng Tuo said: "Lord! I went to ask for a wish and restored the peace of my Han family's rivers and mountains! ”
Liu Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Zizhen was appointed as the governor of the southern expedition, allowing appointments and dismissals along the way, setting up official offices, and deciding for himself after consulting with Zhang Song. Later, Yan Xing and Zhang Meng were appointed as auxiliaries to lead 50,000 troops to the south.
Soon after Peng Tuo's departure, Liu Zhen also came to Yizhou, Liu Shi and other Liu Zhen took over Yizhou, leaving 5,000 soldiers, leading the rest of the nearly 20,000 troops out of the Sword Pavilion to attack Jiameng, and ordered Liu Feng to lead 50,000 troops out of Wudu to capture Yangping Pass, Xu Rong attacked Xinzheng from Xicheng, and Yang Feng attacked Chenggu from Micang Road.
Jia Meng guarded Ma Chao and knew that Liu Shi was coming, and went out of the city to greet him, Liu Shi said: "Ma Chao! Your father was killed by Cao thieves, and you were loyal to the country, but you didn't want to avenge your father, but instead stayed in the lonely city alone, trying in vain to block the heavenly army, what is the reason? ”
Ma Chao said: "I originally wanted to avenge my father, but the Xiliang people were snobbish, and they took Cao Thief as their father and became my enemy. I had no choice but to go to Hanzhong, and I wanted to ask Zhang Xijiu to help me capture Xiliang, and the change in Jingzhou forced us to find a safe rear. ”
Liu Shidao: "Why didn't you vote for me in the first place?" ”
Ma Chao said: "Who doesn't know that the hussar general is loyal to the Han family, although he has his own army, he never openly opposes Cao thief. If I vote for the general, how is it different from throwing myself into the net, and the general received a letter from the thief, maybe he sold me? ”
"Why did Meng Qi say this? At the beginning, my father was also one of the people who participated in the rescue of the emperor, don't you still believe me? Liu Shi said in a slow tone.
Ma Chao sneered and said: "The hussar general is involved in this matter, but it is only echoed from the side, not only did he not lose the army, but he gained a lot of benefits. It is said that the number of people who migrated alone reached nearly 100,000, and there were countless military equipment obtained by Yuan Shao obtained by the Cao thief, and then a small sneak attack on the Cao thief. And that's all. And after the Cao thief returned to the army, the hussar general withdrew his troops faster than the rabbit ran! ”
Liu Shi pondered for a while and said, "Is that because of this?" ”
"Isn't that enough? Who knows if the hussar general will be forced to pressure because of the heavy army of the Cao thief, or the Cao thief will ask the hussar general for the guilty minister and the superordinate because of the edict of the fake emperor of heaven, and the hussar general will send the superclass to the Cao thief? ”
Liu Shidao: "Could it be that Meng Qi doesn't know the major affairs of the soldiers' country, and for the orders of the generals and the people, he must not be overlooked or careless." Cao thief is heavy, why should I hit the stone with an egg? Don't you know how to avoid its sharpness, guard its dangers, attack its weakness, and consume its soldiers? So as to achieve the trend of turning from weak to strong? ”
Ma Chao said: "Let your words fall wildly, Zhang Saijiu is not thin on me, I will not surrender, if you want to fight, you don't need to say more." ”
"Good! I won't fight with you today, wait for you to go back and think carefully, and the next day I will fight with me is up to you, I am for the sake of Mr. Shoucheng's loyalty to my Han to persuade you once, I can't bear to be ashamed of his descendants! ”
After speaking, slowly retreat!
