『Chapter error, click here to report』

Lü Peng resolutely repudiated the policy of using Huairou to rebel against Meng Huo in Nanzhong, and directly took tough measures, so Li Yan and Meng Da, who were originally familiar with the local situation in Yizhou, took Yiwen and Yiwu as the main force, and accompanied by Pang De, a general, led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress Meng Huo.

After the army set out, Lu Peng began to organize his Yizhou with confidence and implement his own Youzhou policy.

But Yizhou is not like other Central Plains counties, into more than ten or twenty years of war, the land is vacant and the population is sparse, here is a remote place, the four states are separated by mountains, the war is isolated, although there is a dispute between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, it is just compared with the Central Plains, it is like a child's play, that is not called war, that is called the fight between urban and rural areas, the damage to the entire Yizhou is quite small, so, here has become a paradise, after checking the household registration, there are 260,000 households, there are 900,000 mouths, of course, this is the registered population, According to the unspoken rules of society at that time, scholars and officials were not registered, the Haoqiang family was not registered, the servants of the Haoqiang family were not registered, some tenants were not registered, and the remote mountain people were not registered, so it is estimated that Yizhou should have a population of no less than 2 million.

This is a very happy and good thing, there is a population, and the basis of everything is there.

But Yizhou has not gone through a major war, so there is no big damage to the powerful landlords in various places, and the land occupied is quite a lot, and the implementation of Lu Peng's disguised land nationalization is not suitable here, you can't really come to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, and you can't do Zhuge Liang's coercive measures against the powerful households, because according to historical records, Zhuge Liang has governed Shu for more than 20 years, and the population has only increased by 40,000, and the people seem to be more bitter.

Therefore, Lü Peng decided to continue to implement the method of exchanging grasslands for local land, but the result was very little, because the region limited people's thinking, and the local people were unwilling to go out, so this method did not work.

Then, Lu Peng could only look at the mountains and forests and vigorously develop the local characteristic industry - Shu brocade.

The mountains and forests were distributed to the people, and then mulberry and silkworms were planted, the advanced weaving technology of the Central Plains was introduced, the weaving technology was improved, the output was expanded, and a large-scale Shu brocade exhibition was held in Chengdu, and then people were sent to contact the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River, led by the Wang family, and brought the patriarch of the fleet of countless maritime trade families.

The whole exhibition is very successful, sold on the spot, and the order makes people see the blood boiling, anyway, the overseas silk gap is huge, and the expanded Shu brocade is not worried about the market at all, so it digests the massive idle population and increases the income of the people.

If you want to get rich and build roads first, this is definitely the wisest and most correct policy, so Lu Peng began to gather a large number of people in Bashu, began to build roads out of Sichuan, and renovated the original plank road, so that not only let the merchants circulate back and forth, population and technology have been exchanged, the most important thing is that Yizhou and their own territory are thoroughly linked through the road, if there is a riot or something in Yizhou, their own army can quickly enter and exit, Yizhou, with the road completely tied to the carriage of the Central Plains family.

The people are stable, the people's livelihood has developed, and the matter seems to be over, so Lu Peng decided to go back to the central area of Youzhou, and it will be a year since he came out, and it is not good to be too long.

But he just wanted to leave, but he couldn't, because the army that conquered Meng Shu came with the news of worship.

At that time, Lu Peng was not happy, a small barbarian, you Li Yan, Mengda, and Pang De, three generals, with 100,000 elite soldiers, but came back with a defeat, which is too incompetent.

As a result, Li Yan told Lu Peng in detail about the process of the battle.

Yonghong is the largest wealthy family in the south of Yizhou, and has also developed into a gate valve, in which the children control the officials of various states and counties in the south of Yizhou, and the generations are passed on, this time Lu Peng came, and he arranged the newcomers he brought to be the chief officials of various places, of course, the interests of Yonghong were moved, so he used the terrain to cut off the connection between Yongchang and Yizhou, and killed Taishou to stand on his own.

At the same time, he also reached an alliance with the rebellious Meng Huo, and he was full of momentum for a while.

When Li Yan Mengda Pound came over with a large army, it was very smooth to start the battle, because Yonghong was an orthodox Han Chinese, playing orthodox tactics, and resolutely defended one city and one place and never retreated.

Fighting against a family and a warlord group, no matter how strong he is, the final outcome is already doomed, that is, defeat.

Especially stubbornly defending one city and one place, the fortified cities in various places were almost a despair in the face of the sharp siege equipment of the Lu family's army, and the result was that Lu Peng's army was like a devastation, and the power of the Yonghong family was wiped out in one fell swoop, and a brilliant victory was achieved. The entire Yongchang County has returned to the embrace of Yizhou from the new.

Li Yan strictly respected Lu Peng's instructions, and took advantage of this opportunity to uproot the Yonghong family, and at the same time expand the incident, and completely wiped out all the families that were related to Yonghong, and almost swept away the big families in the south of Yizhou, which made his wife quite satisfied, according to his calculations, this counterinsurgency war has a surplus from the perspective of paying military expenses and capturing the accumulation of major families for hundreds of years, and the war is to make money, which Lu Peng has always insisted on, and this time it is still no exception.

But the war will continue, because the destruction of a Yonghong is not the ultimate goal, the ultimate goal is to eliminate the source of the trouble, Meng Shu.

Therefore, the victorious army began to kill towards Nanzhong with great momentum, and Bingfeng pointed directly at Meng Huo.

As a result, this time the old general encountered a new problem, that is, Meng Shu did not play cards according to the cards of the Central Plains War at all, but you hit yours, I hit mine, they roared out of the millions of mountains, shuttled and wandered in the forest for thousands of years, the army marched to harass and attack, the army disappeared without a trace, the army camped and rested, a cold arrow here, a dart there, just about to hit the water, I saw a dead animal inside, wanted to firewood, and the result was that the poisonous bamboo sticks on the ground were dense, making it difficult for you to move an inch, and the result was, They constantly have casualties, but they don't see the enemy's casualties.

In fact, they continue to have casualties, but they can't see the enemy's casualties, such a situation, the blow to the hearts of the army is the greatest, this is like a person doing a thing, always seeing their own efforts, but not seeing the results is a truth, and eventually people will become depressed and eventually become depressed, the current situation is like this, so, in the face of Meng Huo, everyone is like a strong man, constantly waving his fists, but he can't hit anything, or he doesn't know whether he hit the enemy, in this way, The morale of the army began to become depressed, and the first to become depressed was the Lu Jiajun, because they had never felt so powerless, and they had never been so cowardly. On the contrary, those Yizhou soldiers are open to such things, but the Yizhou soldiers are not the main force, and their role is quite small.

So after an exhausted and listless camp, everyone was suddenly attacked by Meng Shu with an army of tens of thousands, and they were inexplicably defeated.

After listening to such a report, Lu Peng could only sigh in the end, he had to go into battle in person for this matter.
