Jin Liang's timing was just right, just like hitting the snake in the seven inches of the snake, Guan Hai saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to order a retreat to the south. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jin Liang asked Huang Zhong's men to clean up the battlefield, and he continued to lead 40,000 elite cavalry to chase and kill Zhang Jaw and Lu Dai.

The 40,000 elite cavalry of the Central Army instantly slaughtered more than 3,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers after the Yellow Turban soldiers were broken, and the remaining Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers saw that the Central Army was in a hurry, so they had to discard their baggage, weapons, and armor, and run lightly, just to escape from the pursuit of the Central Army.

120,000 elite soldiers of the central government pursued and killed while appeasing, Jin Liang's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even these Yellow Turban soldiers who had shrunk in Qingzhou before have heard of it, they knew that they would have enough to eat if they were prisoners of the Central Army, and seeing that their two legs could not outrun the four legs of the Central Army, they knelt on both sides of the road and surrendered.

Of course, there are some Yellow Turban veterans who have followed Guan Hai and other Qu Shuai for a long time, they have killed innocents indiscriminately, and they know that Jin Liang's Central Army military discipline is very strict, and they often do what political censorship and rectification, they ask themselves whether there is no way to adapt to the strict military discipline of the Central Army, let alone escape the rectification of the Central Army, their evil past cannot escape the review of the Central Army military police, and it is better to follow Guan Hai to the dark than to surrender to the Central Army and fall to the ground.

Those Yellow Turban veterans saw that they really couldn't run the Central Army, so they brandished knives and guns to meet them, these Yellow Turban veterans who ran with leg cramps usually bullied innocent people like wolves and tigers, and met the real tiger and wolf division, the original form was revealed, they couldn't go a round under the horses of the central elite cavalry, and they all died tragically under the sabers of the Central Cavalry without accident.

Guan Hai was escorted by more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers, urging his crotch to run to the Yellow River in embarrassment, he saw the surging Yellow River, and his heart was happy, as long as he crossed the Yellow River and fled to the mountains of Taishan County, Qingzhou, he was not afraid of the pursuit of Jinliang's central army.

Just as Guan Hai was rejoicing, thousands of crossbowmen suddenly stood up in the grass on the bank of the Yellow River, and arrows rained down, shooting at the 20,000 remnants, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou were in chaos. After the crossbow soldiers under the command of Yu Ban made meritorious contributions, Zhang Liao led a large cavalry to rush over, most of the 20,000 remnants of Guan Hai stayed on the north bank of the Yellow River, and only more than 3,000 people barely fled to the other side, but they were annihilated by the combined forces of Cao Cao, the plain commander of the plain guarding the south bank of the Yellow River, and Liu Bei, the commander of the plain county.

When Jin Liang arrived on the south bank of the Yellow River, he saw Guan Hai fighting with Guan Yu.

Guan Hai uses a knife, Guan Yu also uses a knife, but how can Guan Hai's knife technique be compared with Guan Yu, originally according to Guan Yu's martial arts, to deal with Guan Hai who was deserted and fled and lost his soul, he couldn't use the dozens of rounds that Luo Guanshui said, and even could do a knife when he slashed Huaxiong, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, how could Guan Yu be injured in the waist by Jin Liang, and he couldn't quickly gather the strength of his whole body, and the knife was not as good as before, and he fought for more than 20 rounds, so he couldn't help Guan Hai.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong all stood on their horses to watch, and they all shook their heads and sighed: "How can Yun Chang's martial arts regress to Si, he can't even take down a Guan Hai. ”

Guan Yu and Guan Hai fought for another twenty rounds. Guan Hai, who was tired from a day of fighting, finally ran out of strength and couldn't parry Guan Yu's weird Qinglong Glaive Knife, and watched Guan Yu's knife slash towards him.

At this time, it was nearly midnight, the willow tops on the moon, the bright moonlight was as cold as water, shining on the smooth surface of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, reflecting a strange and cold light, Guan Hai felt cold in his heart and his eyes stinged, and he closed his eyes unconsciously, and he accepted his fate.

Suddenly, a loud sound sounded in Guan Hai's ears. Guan Hai felt Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife pass past his ears, and a few strands of hair were cut into two pieces by Sen Leng's knife qi.

Guan Hai opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Guan Yufeng's eyes wide open, as wide as copper bells. Radiating the anger that can burn people, Guan Hai looked back at Guan Yu's fierce eyes, Jin Liang straddled the red rabbit horse and put a big bow behind him, Guan Hai noticed that there was a black feather arrow lying on the ground, exuding a forest light.

Jin Liang deliberately ignored Guan Yu's angry gaze, stared at Guan Hai, and said with a slight smile: "Guan Hai, don't you get off your horse and surrender?!" ”

Guan Hai understood that it was Jin Liang who released an arrow. The Qinglong Yanyue Knife that flicked the feather saved his life, and now both sides of the Yellow River are Jin Liang and his allies' men and horses, and they are desperate, and they are unwilling to succumb to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so they have to surrender to Jin Liang.

Guan Hai thought of Zheng Gu who was reused by Jin Liang, and thought of Zhang Yan who was regarded as an ally by Jin Liang, the brothers of Zheng Gu and Zhang Yan were better mixed than their Qingzhou brothers, and it seemed that following Jin Liang was much better than being caught in the middle of the Shijiawu Fort.

Guan Hai turned over and dismounted. Hurried to the red rabbit horse, knelt down and said: "The villain Guan Hai is willing to submit to the general, and the general is willing to accept the villain!" ”

Jin Liang did not dismount to help, but put the stone dragon sword against Guan Hai's neck and said, "Are you really obedient to my Central Army?!" ”

Guan Hai felt that the murderous aura from the stone dragon broadsword poured into every pore of his body in an instant, and it was cold and penetrating. couldn't help but shiver with a cold shiver. Only then did he know that Jin Liang's reputation as the number one in the world was by no means a wasted name, just the murderous aura emitted by the stone dragon broadsword could suffocate Guan Hai, although Guan Yu just now made Guan Hai embarrassed, Guan Hai still thought that if he was not exhausted from running around for a day, he might not be able to defeat Guan Yu, and Jin Liang gave Guan Hai the feeling that if Jin Liang wanted to kill himself, within five rounds, Guan Hai was intimidated by Jin Liang's momentum, and he surrendered happily, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is sincere and obedient, the emperor and the queen of the earth, and he knows this heart!" ”

Jin Liang can believe in the credit of Zhao Yun, Han Hao and others, but he can't believe in Guan Hai, who is from a slippery and cunning background, and he won't believe Guan Hai's allegiance when he was added to the euphorbia.

However, although he didn't believe it, Jin Liang didn't want to give up Guan Hai's talent, this guy can fight with Guan Yu for dozens of rounds in terms of force, at least he can be regarded as a second-rate mid-to-upper general, in terms of the ability to lead troops, he can lead hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to attack Liyang and kill Zheng Gu, at least it is stronger than Zheng Gu, and with a little training, he can be used to fight against Zhang Yan.

Jin Liang didn't believe in Guan Hai, but he still wanted to use him, how to solve this contradiction, Jin Liang couldn't think of any other magic method, so he made a decision, ordered someone to bring a pill, let Guan Hai swallow it, Guan Hai suddenly felt like a knife, but his limbs could still move.

Guan Hai looked at Jin Liang in horror, and said with a desperate expression: "Lord, what kind of medicine did you give the last general, poison?!" If you want to kill the last general, even if you can go down with a halberd, why use medicine! ”

Jin Liang snorted coldly: "Guan Hai, think about it, with your past bad deeds, how can my father trust you!" Don't worry, this pill won't kill you now, but after two months, my father can't guarantee it. If you can bring 100,000 men and horses from Qingzhou to Jizhou in two months, my father will give you the antidote and forgive your sins. ”

Guan Hai realized Jin Liang's intentions, and wanted to use his prestige in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to bring the remaining Qingzhou Yellow Turban into Jizhou, Guan Hai's heart suddenly lightened, this task is not difficult to complete, after all, Jizhou Tuntian has a bumper harvest, the grain is sufficient, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans scattered among the mountains of Yimeng are all in danger, if they can be taken in by Jin Liang, they can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, which can be described as a great good.

Guan Hai thought for a while, frowned tightly and said: "Lord, the last general's subordinates are now completely lost, and with only one person and one horse, he can't persuade other poles to come to the lord, and I hope that the lord can allocate some men and horses to the last general." ”

Jin Liang remembered that it was Yu Ban who helped Cao Cao rectify the discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers in history, so he turned around and smiled at Yu Ban, who was standing behind Zhang Liao, and said: "Wen Ze, you come to assist Guan Hai in reorganizing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives in this battle!" ”

The reorganization of nearly 300,000 captives of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans was nominally based on Guan Hai, but in fact Guan Hai only played a role in stabilizing the morale of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and it was the Qingzhou Taishan people who really played the leading role.

Jin Liang's Guards Division, Gao Shun, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Liao, Lu Dai and other divisions were all filled by the elite of the county soldiers from all over the country, and the elite of the 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives were filled with the county soldiers.

Then 40,000 elites were selected from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban captives and formed into a division, with Guan Hai as the division commander and Yu Ban as the deputy division commander, but it was Yu Ban who really controlled the military power, because the main generals and soldiers above the captain below were selected from the teaching brigade and Xuanfu brigade of the Guards Division, and the gendarmes at all levels were also sent from the Guards Division, and most of the other commanders and big and small leaders in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban were rectified to another world because of their bad deeds, and now Guan Hai only has martial arts and prestige. And what he needs to win over the other poles of Qingzhou Yellow Turban is his two things.

The rest of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were all made up to Tuntian, of course, those unruly people were pulled to mine, anyway, the coal mines in Bingzhou are now very short of people.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei received some of the weapons and armor discarded by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and Jin Liang's reward of giving them some money, and they all returned to the station satisfied, and Guan Yu, who was the only dissatisfied, also restrained his resentment towards Jin Liang under Liu Bei's strict supervision, and obediently followed Liu Bei back to Pingyuan City.

Jin Liang looked at Guan Yu's distant back, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, Guan Yu, with me Jin Liang in this world for a day, there will be no good days for you, Red Rabbit Horse and Diao Chan, you don't want to covet it anymore.

Jin Liang coerced the aftermath of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and forcibly divided Yanzhou and Qingzhou north of the Yellow River into Jizhou, Zhang Liaobu deployed on the west side of the north bank of the Yellow River, and Yu Ban Department deployed on the east side of the north bank of the Yellow River.

Since then, Jizhou and Bingzhou have entered a period of calm development, and the occasional wave is that Jin Liang has settled accounts with some so-called neutral families who have colluded with the rebel families, but there are not many families who have been settled by the autumn queen, and the families who accepted Jin Liang's cooperation agreement have obtained a place for their elite brothers in the imperial court and local county and county governments, of course, most of these positions are vacated after the death of those rebel brothers who do not know how to cherish.

Jin Liang made a clear principle, unless there are particularly military talents, the general family can only be a civil official, and this civil official can not grasp the financial power, supervision power, although Jin Liang is not clear, but has always insisted on the military power, financial power, supervision power to have no foundation can only be loyal to their own Han brothers, such as Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others.

Although the taxes collected by Jin Liang are only one mu and two buckets, but there are a total of 50 million mu of cultivated land in Jizhou and Bingzhou, and 10 million stone of grain can also be collected, plus there are nearly 5 million mu of tuntian, and the grain that can be collected is probably 20 million stones, of course, this is a more ideal algorithm.

Because of the raging rebellions of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou Shijia and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the grain in various places was greatly affected, and the fertile fields in many places were trampled or harvested or even burned by the rebels, and the yield was reduced by half.

According to Jin Liang's calculations, one stone of wheat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was about equal to 30 jin in later generations, and 9 million stone wheat was about 270 million jin in later generations.

Of course, Jin Liang can call more wheat than these nine million stones.

Around October last year, Jin Liang purchased a large number of wheat seeds from various places, allowing the people in Jizhou and Bingzhou to plant wheat widely.

During this period, the people were still accustomed to planting millet, which was the legendary millet, which was more drought-tolerant than wheat, and did not need to be served so carefully, so the people preferred to plant millet rather than wheat, and there was much resistance to Jin Liang's orders.

Jin Liang first explained to the students of the Department of Agronomy of the Central University Hall of Technology that wheat can be ground into flour and can be made into bread, steamed bread, biscuits, cakes, noodles, fritters, oil cakes, fire burnt, baked cakes, pancakes, dumplings, fried dumplings, steamed buns, wontons and other foods, especially after being made into steamed buns, it is easy to carry as dry food, which is conducive to marching, and as long as wheat is cultivated properly, the yield can be easily increased.

On the other hand, millet is domesticated from wild dogtail grass, although it is drought resistant and barren, suitable for planting in arid areas, it can be sown in spring and summer, it was once the first food in the north, but its yield is very low, in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty without chemical fertilizer and hybrid technology, its yield is difficult to break through one hundred and twenty catties, and the yield of wheat is definitely higher than that of millet as long as it is well served.

Of course, the most important thing is that in the past two years before the corn and sweet potatoes were brought back to Dahan by Qin Yi, the wheat harvested in the summer can be planted immediately, and the fields will not be wasted if they are harvested twice a year.

Students from the Department of Agronomy traveled to various counties. Conveying Jin Liang's concept of heavy wheat, after these students patiently explained, people everywhere successively accepted that wheat is better than millet. I went to various government offices to get free wheat seeds, and planted them deeply and carefully according to the wheat yield increase planting methods taught by agronomist such as Han Hao, Chang Lin, and Shi Tao, adjunct professors of the Department of Agronomy. Specially treated farmhouse green manure is widely applied, and then water conservancy irrigation is carried out.

Half a year has passed, summer is coming, and the golden wheat waves are rolling on the fertile land of Jizhou and Bingzhou. It was originally possible to harvest 150 million stones, but due to the impact of the war in Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou Shijia rebels and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, only 110 million stones, or about 3.3 billion catties, were harvested. These 3.3 billion catties of wheat seem like a lot, but in fact, the population of the entire Han Dynasty was nearly 60 million at its peak. The cultivated land area is nearly 600 million mu at the maximum, and the average grain yield per mu is three stones and five buckets, which is equivalent to about 110 catties, and the highest output of the entire Han Dynasty is more than 60 billion jin jin, and the 3.3 billion jin is only one-twentieth of the highest output period of the Han Dynasty, and all the population of Jizhou and Bingzhou accounts for one-ninth of the largest population of the Han Dynasty, which is inferred. It is enough to see that there is still a lot of room for improvement in grain production here in Jizhou and Bingzhou, of course, provided that there is no war or famine.

There are about 7 million people and people in Jizhou and Bingzhou, each person eats an average of 300 catties a year, they take into account the millet in the second half of the year, and only leave the wheat to be eaten in the next two years and the seeds of the next year to pay the grain tax, and there are more than 500 million catties of wheat left, most of which are taken out for sale in exchange for money to buy other daily necessities, such as buying a piece of cloth to make a new clothes.

In addition to some families hoarding more than 200 million catties of wheat, Jin Liang purchased more than 300 million catties of wheat, plus the grain taxes collected, Jin Liang now controls 600 million catties of wheat.

The summer millet has already been sown, and the military officials of the Quartermaster Department of the Military Affairs Yuan have calculated that the existing men and horses of Jinliang and the people that Jinliang temporarily has to feed will need to consume more than 150 million catties of wheat in the five months before the harvest of millet in autumn.

Jin Liang now has 300,000 troops of the Central Army under his command, including the Guards Division, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun, Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Ju Yi, Zhu Ling, Lü Dai, Gan Ning and other divisions, as well as Chen Zhi, Wang Yue, Feng Fang, and Xia Mou's Xiangyang Inner City Janissaries.

These 300,000 horses contain 150,000 soldiers and 150,000 auxiliary soldiers, and each division has a permanent station, and there are 100,000 mu of tuntian fields near the permanent station, which are cultivated by auxiliary soldiers in peacetime, which can solve at least one-third of the food and salary.

Only 200,000 people will really use the wheat stockpile, and each person will eat about one and a half catties of flour milled from two catties of wheat and other meat, vegetables, and soy products a day, and about 60 million catties of wheat in the next five months. War horses do not need to be fed wheat, but barley and red beans, these crops cannot occupy fertile fields, and are planted on the edge of wasteland and on the slopes of mountains.

Zhang Yan's 60,000 Feiyan troops and Guan Hai's and Yu Ban's 40,000 Qingzhou soldiers are now considered supernumeraries of the Central Army, and their food and salary are about half of that of the Central Army, and they will probably eat 15 million catties of wheat in the next five months.

The local township soldiers have their own evenly divided fields, and the county soldiers have some tuntian fields in addition to the evenly divided fields, and the township soldiers and county soldiers can be self-sufficient, and only the county soldiers guarding the county town are considered to be semi-full-time, and they need to allocate the same amount of food and salary as half of the central army, and there are a total of 50,000 county soldiers in the ten counties, and they eat about 7.5 million catties of wheat in five months.
