Chapter 54: Zhang Yi's Death

The next morning, the people of Linrong heard the bell ringing on the tower, one long and one short, like the last groan of a dying patient.

"It's mourning." There was a commotion in the crowd.

Half an hour later, the palace gate of the county government had posted a funeral report on the official square, and sent people to report to each household in Linrong one by one, informing them that from today onwards, the people's homes were not allowed to marry and feast.

When serving the thirty-six days of great filial piety, those who dare to act without permission will be punished with great rebellion.

When today's banquet was over, the people of Linrong rushed to tell each other, there was no sadness on their faces, but they were smiling.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or providence, when Liu Hong was alive, there were endless wars and soldiers, and when he died, the rebels were also destroyed.

In the southwest, Yizhou assassin Shi Yijian was killed by the Yellow Turban, Yizhou engaged in Jia Long, Qianwei Taishou Renqi recruited the township to fight against the thieves, after several months of conquest, finally killed the Yellow Turban leader Ma Xiang, the new Yizhou Mu Liu Yan of the imperial court stationed in Mianzhu, began to divide one side, and became the first warlord in the late Han Dynasty.

In the northeast, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's rebellion in collusion with Karasuma gradually came to an end, although Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, and Sun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, had differences in the strategy of conquest, but after several disputes, the two still united with one gang and one soft.

Gongsun Chan defeated Zhang Chun by force, Liu Yu raised his head, Zhang committed suicide by hanging himself, so far the Youzhou rebellion was initially successful, Liu Yu was promoted to the state pastor, and respected the captain, Gongsun Chan was also promoted to the captain of the captivity, and concurrently served as the long history.

There are more than 200,000 yellow turbans in the land of Qingxu, but they are also a rabble.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, East China Sea Prime Minister Xue Yan broke one by one, and there was a cavalry captain Zang Ba to deal with the coastal land, he recruited Wu Dun, Yin Li and other local heroes to raise their own troops, and in a few days, the Yellow Turban Wanderers who wandered through the mountains and coasts were wiped out;

In terms of annexing the state, the LΓΌ Bu rebellion was very effective, and during the reign of Emperor Ling, the Xiongnu rebels retreated to northern Xinjiang, and the Xiongnu tribes that occupied the Hexi area also escaped from the Saiwai and resumed their nomadic life.

On the side of the Baibo army, the leader Guo Tai was killed in battle, and his subordinates Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and other generations were unable to reach their talents, so they had to retreat to the Baibo Valley to defend tightly.

At this point, the rebellion of the annexed states was largely subsided.

The things that quelled the chaos were won everywhere, and the wars in various places were extinguished one after another, and for a time the swords and guns entered Kuma and put Nanshan, which was really a sign of the new monarch ascending the throne and the world was peaceful.

On this day, LΓΌ Bu went to Shentuze as usual to supervise the implementation of the Tuntian system, but as soon as he arrived in Shentuze, Cui Jun, a member of the state army, came behind and brought him sad news.

Zhang Yi is seriously ill and fears that his life will not be long in coming.

In this life, there are three people Lu Bu wants to thank, Zhang Yi, Lu Zhi, and Zhong Xuan, all three of whom have the grace of knowing him in their careers.

Now that he heard that Zhang Yi was seriously ill, he was angry and anxious, and after entrusting the matter of the Tuntian system to Wang Jun, he rushed to Jinyang with Cui Lie.

In the Jinyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Lu Bu was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to greet his colleagues, so he went straight to the ya, and walked directly towards the mansion.

He walked to the door, where a servant saluted him, then pushed the door lightly and let him in.

Lu Bu walked all the way to the innermost, stopped at the side of the bed with the curtain lower, and called softly: "Old general, the cloth is here." ”

Zhang Yi twisted his body and turned his head with difficulty: "Feng is here first, sit down." ”

Lu Bu reclined and half-sat at the head of the bed, raising his eyes to look at Zhang Yi, after the Battle of Jiuyuan, he never saw Zhang Yi again, although Zhang Yi was old at that time, he was still in good spirits.

And now he has gray hair, wrinkled skin and age spots, the whole person is thin and out of shape, his eye sockets are deep, his face is blue, and he has no energy at all.

Lu Bu's eyes were red: "I haven't seen you for four years, how can the old general be sick like this, the cloth is like a thousand arrows in the heart, and the pain is like a skin." ”

Zhang Yi sighed bitterly: "Everyone has his own life, and there is no need to hurt his mind first." ”

Lu Bu was a little sad and comforted: "If a person is not sick, even if he is sick, but with more care, he can naturally hope to be cured." ”

Zhang Yi shook his head lightly: "The old man's sick old man knows that time is running out, and this time I called you to have something important to entrust." ”

Lu Bu was about to say more, Zhang Yi waved his hand to interrupt him, and said to himself: "Since serving as the assassin, the old man has only sought no merit but no fault, and the battle of Manyi Valley, if there is no you and Cheng Xiaojie, I am afraid that the old man has already died in Huangquan, how can he be left to this day?" ”

"What you did, the old man saw it, but it was just an attack on Niexian, which was inappropriate."

"The Wang family is deeply rooted in Bingzhou, and its strength is so great that you can't imagine it, why are the county guards reluctant to send troops when I am trapped in Manyi Valley? They all act according to the eyes of the Wang family, and it is ridiculous that the old man has the name of assassination history, and has no right to assassinate history. ”

Zhang Yi took a breath: "Of the nine counties in the state, only Wuyuan, Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Shuofang obey my orders, and the other five counties are all controlled by the Wang family, especially Taiyuan County, from the county guards to the county officials, almost all of them are from the Wang family." ”

"But I believe in you, I believe that you will bring blessings to the people of Bingzhou, and after I die, you will be the governor of Bingzhou."

Lu Bu hurriedly shook his head: "The imperial court has already decreed that the locals cannot serve as the state pastor, and the merits are not commendable, why should they serve as the state pastor?" ”

Zhang Yi muttered: "You are a well-known flying general, how can you say that you have no talent and no virtue?" With you, the foreign race will not dare to detain the customs, with you, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, such merits are admired for all generations, and it is enough to shine in history, and do not be arrogant. ”

Lu Bu twisted his eyebrows: "Rong Bu thinks about ......"

"What are you worried about?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "No one is available." ”

This is his biggest headache, now he has Wang Jun and Lou Gui under his command, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in Wu, and Cao Xing and others can charge into battle, if it is said that strategy, he really does not dare to compliment.

Zhang Yi coughed a few times, and only after calming down a little did he say: "Although Bingzhou is a barren land, it is also full of talents, some can be used greatly, some can be used small, and some are not used by me, so they will either be nurtured, worshipped, or abandoned......"

"Except for a small number of people, the rest of the Wang family are talented in fighting baskets, knowing the bottle, and the scribes are frivolous and insignificant, if they have the ability to speak and speak, they can ignore it, and if they interfere in the military and political affairs, they will bring about their own destruction."

Lu Bu understood, Zhang Yi was teaching him the art of controlling people, using those who should be used, respecting those who could not be used, and killing those who were not used but who were right.

"Although the tuntian system is a policy to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but the biggest hardship of the people is still land annexation, the wealthy families occupy the fertile land by virtue of grace or power, conceal the land property, pay less or do not pay taxes, resulting in the emptiness of taxes, once the tuntian system is implemented, I am afraid that the wealthy families will carry out the annexation again."

"What does the old general mean?"

"Make an example of a hundred."

Lu Bu instantly understood that Zhang Yi was asking him to use the land as a breakthrough to open a knife to the unconvinced wealthy.

"Thank you to the old general for your advice, I can't understand it."

Zhang Yi nodded in relief, closed his eyes with a smile, and Lu Bu tried to call a few times, but Zhang Yi never responded.

"Old general......" Lu Bu held Zhang Yi's withered hand, and finally couldn't hold it back and cried.
