Volume 1 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 135 Aftermath
At the time when Guo Bin and Sun Jian were greeting each other, Xi Zhicai had already commanded seven hundred cavalry to control the situation. The so-called control of the situation refers to the control of all the people who give orders here, including Zhu Jun, the right middle lang general who is sitting in the handsome position. This is Guo Bin's order through sign language.
When Sun Jian reacted, Guo Bin's 700 cavalry had already surrounded the 100 guards guarding Zhu Jun, all of them holding cavalry bows, and the target was intentionally or unintentionally facing Zhu Jun's department. The officers and troops on the periphery saw that the cavalry under Guo Bin surrounded Zhu Jun's Chinese army tent, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Because the 700 cavalry under Guo Bin are skillful and bold in archery and horse, they have turned the 200,000 Yellow Turban Battalion upside down in half a month, and they have already become the idols of the 40,000 officers and soldiers in Changshe City. Among these sergeants, there is no one who does not know them, and there is no one who does not know that they are the elite troops of the official army. Therefore, as long as the people inside don't throw Zhu Jun's head out, they won't think that Guo Bin's "guard" Right Zhonglang will be inappropriate.
Sun Jian saw that he was under siege, and a stirring spirit was in his heart: "Could it be that they want to rebel?" β
As soon as this thought came to mind, it disappeared. No one in the world does not know that Guo Bin is valued by the Son of Heaven, no one does not know that Guo Bin is kind to the current prince, no one does not know that Guo Bin is kind to the party members, and is deeply valued by Shilin, and no one does not know that Guo Bin is in a high position at a young age. Guo Bin's future in the DPRK is something that no one can predict.
What's more, the headquarters of Taiping Road in Beijing is Guo Bin who led the people to destroy, and Bo Cai, the leader of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, has just died at the hands of Guo Bin. If you want to say that someone in the world wants to betray the court and join the Yellow Turban Army, it will not be Guo Bin's turn.
At that moment, Sun Jian took a step forward and said to Guo Bin: "What does this mean by riding the captain?" Why do you want to surround the right middle lang general's tent? β
Guo Bin smiled slightly and ignored it. First, he ordered loudly: "All the troops listen to the order, if anyone dares to rush into battle, there will be no forgiveness!" If anyone dares to order the slaughter of prisoners of war without permission, there will be no mercy! If there is hesitation and dares not to obey the general's order, there will be no forgiveness! β
The three "no forgiveness", sonorous and murderous, with Guo Bin's bloody robe, are extraordinarily full of deterrence.
Then he waved his hand and threw the Xuanlong spear to Zhang Fei, and he walked to the front of the Chinese military tent, saluted Zhu Jun, who was still sitting upright, and said: "The Marquis of the Chenlong Pavilion, the Captain of the Cavalry, the Lingyue Cavalry Battalion, and the Yingchuan Guo Bin visit the Shengshang, please be safe." β
Zhu Jun first received Guo Bin's full salute, and then stood up and said, "Holy bow." β
At this time, Guo Bin Fang saluted again and said, "Riding the lieutenant and leading the Yue cavalry battalion Guo Bin has seen the right middle general. β
Zhu Jun holds the festival, which is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and Guo Bin asks if the Son of Heaven is safe, which is also the proper meaning of the question. Originally, he should have entered Changshe City first and greeted Huangfu Song, but it was only necessary for the military situation, and he never had the opportunity to enter the city, so he could see the right middle general recommended by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military at this time.
After the etiquette was over, Zhu Jun opened his mouth and asked: "The cavalry captain has a special honor in the battle of Changshe, and I will go to the imperial court with General Huangfu to ask for merit for you." It's just that shooting my handsome flag first, and surrounding me handsome tent last, but what does it mean? β
Zhu Jun has a burly figure, a solemn face, a long knife with a gold handle ring on his waist, and the golden scale armor around his body seems to shine in the sun. In addition, he is the right middle lang general who holds the festival, and he was ordered to lead 20,000 officers and troops to exterminate the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, and his identity is extremely valuable. There are many sword and axe hands on both sides, and the Son of Heaven rune behind him dances in the wind, so it looks even more majestic and inviolable.
These words were sonorous and powerful.
Guo Bin knew that Zhu Jun was known for his strong personality, but the lives of 200,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war were not child's play, and Guo Bin could only use both soft and hard to force Zhu Jun to change his mind.
At that moment, Guo Bin said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Bin is here to protect the right Zhonglang general." β
Zhu Jun said: "Oh? Why? Zhu has his own personal guards around him, where do you want to work the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion? His tone turned cold, obviously dissatisfied with Guo Bin's prevarication.
Guo Bin said: "The so-called ants are still stealing life, let alone people? Although the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan is leaderless and defeated, there are still tens of millions of displaced people in the world, and millions of Yellow Turban Army, can the general kill them? β
Without waiting for Zhu Jun to answer, Guo Bin continued: "Although these captives are called the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are exiles who have been coerced by the Taiping Dao. If the general ignores and kills them all, then the millions of Yellow Turban troops are engulfed by tens of millions of displaced people to fight to the death, and the imperial court still has so many troops? At that time, if you trace the root cause, won't you have to blame the general? Bin came here to stop killing, begging the general to let these captives live. β
Zhu Jun was confused when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out Guo Bin's path.
It is said that Guo Bin has already spoken so thoroughly, and Zhu Jun is not a fool, how can he not understand? However, when you are in officialdom, you naturally have to act according to the rules of officialdom. Guo Bin led the army to besiege Zhu Jun's Chinese army tent, such a big thing would have been enough to kill his head, but he took such a big risk, was it just to intercede for these Yellow Turban prisoners?
Stop making a fuss, what's in it for him? Doesn't he know that these Yellow Turban prisoners are a huge timed~time~bombed~ bomb? Doesn't he know that whoever takes these captives will have to keep them? Didn't he know that once these remnants of the Yellow Turban rebelled again, his nine clans would be implicated?
Guo Bin said these truths, where does Zhu Jun not understand? But this was a decision that he and Huangfu Song discussed together, and they were also forced to do so. Who wants to carry a cruel and murderous notoriety that will be passed down through the ages? It's not impossible. The so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, that is, God has the virtue of a good life, but there is no food in the granary of Changshe City. At that time, instead of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army rebelling, I am afraid that the 40,000 officers and soldiers of the Southern Route Army will be the first to collapse.
At that time, you Guo Bin will pat your ass and leave, but the commanders of the two route armies, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, will be unlucky.
At that moment, Zhu Jun said with a straight face: "So, dare to ask the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion, can you have a clever plan?" β
Where is this asking what is the solution? This is to ask Guo Bin if he has grain and grass! It is true that you have exhausted the capacity of Yangzhai County to resettle 30,000 displaced people, but how do you resettle these 200,000 yellow turbans?
Where does Guo Bin not know Zhu Jun's voiceover? In the troubled times, the most precious resource is food, and the most scarce thing in the world is also food, which is also the fundamental reason why Cao Cao used human breast as military food in history.
Just as he was about to speak, a soldier suddenly came to report and said to Guo Bin: "Lord, General Zuo Zhonglang has led people here." β
When Guo Bin heard this, he hurriedly came out of the crowd and followed Zhu Jun to greet him. As the commander of the three armies, Huangfu Song naturally deserves this etiquette.
Although Guo Bin corresponded with Huangfu Song many times, it was the first time he saw a real person. At the moment, it is necessary to greet each other according to etiquette.
Compared with Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song has a little less Swen, but a little more stout and mighty warriors, and at first glance he is a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time. Although he is a right-hand general, his face is very gentle, so that people are willing to use it when they see it. Guo Bin knew that this Huangfu Songding must be a master who was both civil and military and knew how to be flexible, and he was secretly relieved in his heart at the moment.
Huangfu Song naturally knew the cause and effect of Guo Bin's coming to Zhu Junzhong's military tent, and after he saw Guo Bin leading his cavalry to Zhu Jun's camp in the city, he sent people to inquire about the news while hurriedly coming down to the city. He knew in his heart that Zhu Jun didn't want to see Guo Bin, because he was afraid that Guo Bin would be young and suffer a secret loss. Because of Lu Zhi's relationship, although Huangfu Song and Guo Bin have not met, they have long treated him as a nephew. In addition, in this battle of Changshe, Guo Bin made a special honor and helped the two armies on the southern front, and Huangfu Song's favor towards Guo Bin soared.
When Zhu Jun told Huang Fu Song about Guo Bin's remarks, Huang Fu Song was also very interested, and hurriedly asked: "What is the best plan for Qianyang?" β
Which of the two mid-court generals on the left and right of the court did not lead more than 20,000 troops, and which one was not majestic? Just staring at you with anticipation, whoever puts it on you, everyone will be so nervous that they can't speak. Fortunately, Guo Bin had already thought of countermeasures along the way, otherwise if he dared to talk in front of these two fierce men, it would really not be a joke.
In fact, Guo Bin's strategy is also simple, it is the method of relocating 30,000 displaced people in Yangzhai County: mobilize the strength of wealthy families and gather to do big things.
According to the Marxist view of history, this feudal dynasty was originally owned by the landlord class, and the Son of Heaven was only the largest landlord in the world and the general representative of the landlord class. From the capital to the thirteen prefectures, the one hundred and five counties are the cornerstone of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. Under the so-called nest, there are no eggs. If the Eastern Han Dynasty overthrew the Yellow Turban Army, where could there be a good life for the landlords?
Guo Bin's idea was to gather the strength of the wealthy clan in Yingchuan County and provide food and grass for nearly 200,000 Yellow Turban captives. The grain and grass obtained are recorded in the book and used as the principal of the shares. The captives were then escorted to the border to open up wasteland, and a wall was built in the place where they lived, and silk, wine, and tea from the Central Plains were transported to be sold, and cattle, sheep, and horses from outside the fortress were trafficked in, and the imperial court collected customs duties here.
In this way, the imperial court can not only fundamentally eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, so that it has no source of troops for rebellion, but also strengthen its control over the outside of the Saiwai, and even have a city for the imperial court to profit, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. The only thing the court had to do was to send tax collectors. Moreover, this is not the first time, and the distribution of criminals to enrich the frontier is originally a common method used by the imperial court, so that it is far away from the Central Plains, and naturally there will be no more chaos.
The big clans in Yingchuan County had a legitimate reason to intervene in the frontier trade, as well as the protection of the imperial court. There is no need to take the risk of going to the desert and going deep into the barren, just trading in this city. The land in the city will be built into the appearance of the faΓ§ade house in the future generations, and the rent will be collected in the city, and the rent will be distributed to the wealthy families of Yingchuan County according to the shares.
And for the captives of the Yellow Turban Army, they are not only exempted from the crime of killing their heads, but also have food and drink, they don't have to die of cold and starvation, and they have houses and land, although they are outside the fortress, it is better than starving to death!
This method is very much in line with Guo Bin's consistent style, and it is a good idea for many parties to benefit. Of course, what he didn't say was that the location for the construction of the city outside the Saiwai had already been chosen, and it was Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang's good characters. It is located outside Youzhou, in the territory of Wuhuan. The city is not a large city built directly, but a city is built in the center, and then a satellite city is built in each of the four directions.
Because it is outside the plug, the specifications do not need to be overly confined to the imperial court etiquette, but focus on safety.
This kind of expansion of territory is also a major event to sacrifice to the Taimiao in the peaceful and prosperous era, not to mention the eventful autumn of the yellow scarf now? This can also write a heavy stroke in the history books, and it can whitewash the peace, right? For this idea, presumably no one in the court will stand up and blow the Son of Heaven Yaxing.
