The situation in Julu County quickly calmed down, and the surviving nobles and landlords returned to their homes and began to divide up the ownerless land and rob the population. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The most fertile land in each county was first acquired by Gao Shun.

Gao Shun had outstanding military achievements, and he had just been crowned a marquis, and he was too guarded, and the local scholars and landlords did not dare to oppose it openly.

What made these scholars and landlords even more unbearable was that Gao Shun actually distributed land to the surrendered Yellow Turban thieves and local landless households, which made them very annoyed.

Therefore, they immediately reported Gao Shun's domineering, private occupation of land, and kindness to the Yellow Turban thieves to the forces they relied on.

Gao Shun didn't care about other people's opinions, and ordered the generals to step up their military training, and the officials to stabilize the place, and in his spare time, he began to consider recruiting strategists for his use.

The Jizhou strategists he remembered most deeply were Tian Feng and Fu Zhu.

After sending someone to search carefully, the whereabouts of the two were finally obtained.

Gao Shun was overjoyed, took Li Qiang and the Santun guard cavalry, and went to visit.

The first person to visit was Tian Feng.

At this time, Tian Feng resigned and returned to his hometown in the south? County, the east of the continent is secluded.

Gao Shun came with a generous gift this time, not only gold and Shu brocade, but also five altars of fine wine.

handed over the name thorn and gift list, and soon, Tian Feng personally opened the door to greet him, and said with a salute: "I've seen the prince!" ”

Gao Shun immediately returned the salute, "Gao Shun has seen Mr. at the end of the year!" Gao Shun tried to lower his posture as much as possible.

"Prince, please come inside!" Tian Feng behaved very politely.

"Please!"

Li Qiang accompanied Gao Shun into Tian Feng's house, and the cavalry waited outside.

Before Tian Feng turned around, he glanced at the cavalry brought by Gao Shun, all of them were high-headed horses, much stronger than the war horses in the Central Plains, and in the hot summer, they were still fully armored, fully armed, and the team was arranged particularly neatly, and they were strictly trained elite soldiers at a glance.

Tian Feng has a very high voice and a lot of middle energy.

Gao Shun looked at Tian Feng, he was slightly chubby, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, if he didn't know that he was a literati, he would definitely think that he was a martial artist.

After checking his attributes, Gao Shun's intelligence was startled, and it was as high as 98, but the politics were slightly lower, only 85.

The two sides sat down, and Tian Feng said: "The prince and the marquis will pacify the thieves in Jizhou with his own strength, and he will not do the work of Wei Huo, which is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people." ”

"Hehe, sir is polite, this is a matter of course."

At this time, Tian Feng looked at Gao Shun, it was indeed similar to the rumors, the age was unknown and the weak crown was extraordinary, even the guards standing on his side were very eye-catching, and the writing was flying, and his new work was spread everywhere recently, and the listeners all applauded; Helplessly, his background is too low, he is jealous of the scholars, and it is a matter of time before he is suppressed.

Tian Feng secretly said, after all, he was still too young, and the limitations of his background also limited his vision, so he sarcastically said: "Hehe, prince, Your Majesty did not ask for the farmland to be distributed to the rebels who surrendered. ”

Gao Shun was entangled for a while and retorted: "They are also His Majesty's people. ”

Tian Feng retorted: "Prince, don't you hear that the troubled times use heavy codes? Surrendering them does not turn a man to good, but a crusade against them is enough to punish evil. Accept their surrender now, and they will gain a lot of benefits, which will breed their rebellion, so that those who do not rebel will rise up and rebel in the future in order to gain benefits; When it is good for them, they will make trouble, and when it is not good for them, they will beg to surrender, this is the strategy of the enemy, not a good plan. ”

Gao Shun explained: "If you can't live, who wants to be a thief? These people are simple peasants, as long as they have a bite to eat and do not die of hunger, they are not willing to rebel; This is the fault of the officials, not theirs. ”

Tian Feng disagrees with Gao Shun's view.

After that, Tian Feng only talked to Gao Shun about some subsets of classics and histories, which was not Gao Shun's strong point; Gao Shun signaled several times that he hoped that Tian Feng would become an official, but Tian Feng refused on the grounds of political darkness.

Gao Shun was saddened and had no choice but to return.

The next day, Gao Shun went to Guangping County to visit Fu Zhu.

Gao Shun was even more surprised, his intelligence reached 97, his politics was as high as 94, and people who exceeded 90 were rare in the world. The difference in data can also see the difference in the way the two people do things, Toyoshi Tayoda committed a crime and did not know how to be flexible, which eventually led to being killed.

However, Fu Zhu rejected Gao Shun's invitation for similar reasons, and did not even accept the gift.

On the third day, Tian Feng sent back the gold and Shu brocade sent by Gao Shun, leaving only the fine wine, and sent a letter to persuade Gao Shun to retreat bravely and not to be an enemy of the scholars.

Seeing Gao Shun's depressed mood, Li Qiang quietly suggested: "Lord, if you don't kill them both quietly, don't use them for your own use, and don't let them join the hostile forces and become enemies of us in the future." ”

Gao Shun thought that neither of them would end well, and there were still many years before the warlord melee, so he was not in a hurry, if they still did not join his forces in the future, it would not be too late to kill them at that time, so he shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry now, take your time, and try to subdue them for your own use; If they are still so stubborn in the future, it will not be too late to kill them. ”

Li Qiang nodded in agreement with Gao Shun's opinion.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Gao Shun still had a very difficult time accepting this reality in his heart, he had no identity and no status before, but now he is a Taishou, controlling several counties, having a strong army, and has been a marquis, these scholars still do not accept him.

Now he suddenly understands why Dong Zhuo opened the killing ring to the scholars in history, at that time, Dong Zhuo was a good friend of the scholars, and those scholars turned their faces and did not recognize people after receiving the benefits, and still raised troops against Dong Zhuo without hesitation, if it was Gao Shun, he would also kill like Dong Zhuo, and even kill even more.

Imagine the difficulty of Liu Da'er's start in history, and the swaggering propaganda that he is the emperor's uncle, basically say when he sees a similar person, but the scholars are still unmoved, and they have been displaced for half their lives, and they have not won the refuge of a scholar.

On the contrary, Yuan Shu was defeated repeatedly, but he was able to establish the shogunate in another place, and he looked strong, relying on the fact that he was the descendant of the fourth and third dukes, if he hadn't been the emperor who died, he would not have been defeated so quickly.

When Yuan Shao was exhausted, he just sent people to intimidate, and Han Fu, the pastor of Jizhou, obediently offered the position of state pastor, which is the benefit of the strong heritage of the scholars.

This kind of disparity in origin was unavoidable in that era, and these scholars could only be gradually eradicated after their power became stronger. And after he becomes strong in the future, he will use the two killer weapons of papermaking and printing to dismantle the monopoly of the scholar clan's education, which will inevitably cause the collapse of the scholar clan.

Fortunately, he has systematic help, can synthesize civil and military talents, and can develop without relying on the scholars.

Looking at Gao Shun's uncertain face, Li Qiang comforted: "Lord, don't worry about this, we have strong soldiers and horses, and when the time comes, we will push all the obstacles on the way forward, since these scholars are so uninteresting, we will sweep them all away when the time comes; In the face of great strength, all intrigues and tricks are paper tigers, and there is nothing to worry about. Besides, if we can't find the support of the scholars, we can seek the support of the Hanmen, and when the time comes, I don't believe it, and if we leave the Zhang butcher, we must eat hairy pigs. ”

These words reminded Gao Shun that people from families such as the Chen Palace, the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Sima family would not be loyal to him; But Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia still have a chance, so they will be tied up if they can't do it, and Jia Xu will have to find a way to get it in the future.

As for other Hanmen generals, they should start as soon as possible, such as Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Gan Ning and others, but they can contact or subdue them in advance.

Regarding the rapid retreat suggested by Tian Feng, Gao Shun decided to look at the situation before making a decision.
