Chapter 56: The Fallen Huainan
Lu Xun is bold, resourceful, and far-sighted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Because of his young age, he inevitably has a bit of a juvenile heart, straightforward, talkative, optimistic, and confident. Zhang Liao, a traveler in later generations, met such an interesting person for the first time since he possessed Zhang Liao, and he was immediately very relieved.
Zhang Liao and Lu Xun talked and laughed endlessly. Zhang Liao inquired about Lu Xun, the affairs of Yangzhou characters, and the situation of the princes, Lu Xun answered everything, and said flatteringly, like a few treasures.
Yangzhou, since ancient times, has a brilliant culture, prosperous commerce, outstanding people, pleasant environment and beautiful scenery. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil, one side of the people.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huainan area in the center of Yangzhou was a well-populated, economically rich and famous granary because it was located at the junction of the north and south.
At the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, Yangzhou was the Yuan Shu, and the jurisdiction was mainly Lujiang County and Huainan County, even though there were only two counties, but because of its dense population, there were nearly 70 or 82 people, and the economy was rich. At the beginning, Yuan Shu was called the first warlord of the Three Kingdoms, which is true. It's a pity that Yuan Shu has a life experience and a family background, and few people can match it. It's just that his political gaze does not dare to agree.
Yuan Shu became emperor too early, and when he met the heroic Cao Cao, he could only withdraw from the historical stage early, leaving Yangzhou in pieces.
As they went south, they saw barren fields overgrown with weeds. The fertile land under the official road is also rarely cultivated, and the houses have collapsed, decayed, and ten rooms and nine empty. Stepping into Huainan, along the way, there are countless people who want to escape from Huainan with their families. The roadside was full of hungry refugees, skeleting with white bones. From time to time, there was a hissing of jackdaws in mid-air, and the vision was shocked, and the mood was shocked, so that everyone was immersed in a desolate and dead air.
Zhang Liao only felt very depressed in his chest and couldn't breathe. couldn't help it, sighed lightly, and blurted out: "Xing, the people suffer, die, the people suffer." ”
A few steps behind, walk Lu Xun with his head down, and listen! With this, he raised his head suddenly. The eyes are disproportionate to their age, and they are deep and blind. He said softly, "The lord is talented, benevolent and loves the people."
This situation and this scene violently shocked these warriors. Seeing the image of Huainan, everyone was silent. Most of the soldiers in the military come from poor families and are extremely empathetic.
Zhang Liao felt quite heavy, as a latecomer, although he had seen a lot of dark sides of society in his previous life, he had never encountered such a large number of refugees. Weeds like hair, dirty, messy, even undressed, blank eyes, numb walking and hiding, Zhang Liao remembered the pale and unconscious zombies in the classic movies of later generations.
The heart cannot be restrained from sinking, what a terrible, miserable scene.
This, Yuan Shu can't get out of it, looking forward to stealing Yangzhou, ransom the army, and fight repeatedly. As a result, in the land of Huainan, people's livelihood has been adjusted to zero, the economy has shrunk, and it has been depressed. The people were panicked, they did not think of peace, and the fields were abandoned.
Yuan Shu, born more noble than Yuan Shao, in terms of strength at the beginning of the late Han Dynasty, can be called the head of all candidates, Yuan Shao only after living in Yizhou, is out of control. Yuan Shu's battle was a mess. The more the battle is fought, the less land there is. In the words of later generations, he is a loser. In the end, it was only the land of Huainan. So far, he has not given up, and he wants to be the emperor and the ear of the world.
Sun Ce was contemptuous and presented the jade seal. The appearance of the jade seal land finally pushed it to a doom and a dead end.
However, Cao Cao Xie's son of heaven ordered all the candidates, and you openly proclaimed the emperor, and you didn't take my boss Cao in your eyes. This is also not to put Xuchang Tianzi in his eyes, this naked slap in the face of Boss Cao, after a long time, it will be repaid.
As a result, Cao Cao Xingren and righteous teacher, holding the power of Han orthodoxy, crushed Huainan. Sun Ce withdrew, how could Yuan Shu be Cao Cao's enemy. The defeat of the army, the huge force, and the collapse in an instant, are really embarrassing.
At the time of natural disasters and droughts, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan, he sent Xiahou Yuan's son, Xia Hou Heng to guard Shouchun, and Xiahou Ba assisted, so he returned to Xuchang.
After Yuan Shu was defeated, his subordinates stole the land of Huainan. For the territory under its jurisdiction, it was expropriated and expropriated, and it was forcibly robbed and seized, which made the people of Huainan miserable, and the people were miserable and miserable.
The appearance of Zhang Liao changed in Xiapi. caused Liu Bei to leave Xuchang prematurely, and before he had time to talk to Cao Cao about plum cooking, the hero of the current situation left Xudu in fear.
Cao Cao, however, because Zhang Liao crossed Xuzhou, Xuzhou fell, Yuan Shao's military strength became stronger and stronger, and he had the potential to sweep the world... It was quite stressful, so he kept sending people to force Yuan Shu out and calm Huainan's mind.
Butterfly effect. The historical process opened a fork here, Liu Bei did not chase and kill Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu shrank up, and Xia Houheng was forced by the army to guard Shouchun. Zhang Liao stayed in Xuzhou.
Huainan taxes are becoming heavier and heavier, and there are thieves and thieves outside, so far, the people are complaining and fleeing for their lives to the surrounding areas. The rebellion was like a natural disaster, and such a tragic scene prompted Zhang Liao to decide to go out of Huainan, pacify the surroundings, and eliminate the thieves.
Just listen
