Chapter 70: The True Purpose
Lu Kang arrived, and arrived in Lujiang County in less than two days by fast horse from Luoyang, and at the same time quickly took over the county guard work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This fifty-four-year-old man has removed the identity of the patriarch of the Lu clan of Wu County, and he can actually be regarded as a competent courtier. In the early years, he advised Liu Hong not to increase taxes, and he was almost executed.
From the above information, it is not difficult to see that Lu Kang is a courtier who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, but is this really the case?
Jiang Xiaman's rebellion, Momen has basically investigated clearly, not only Liu Hong knows, Li Yu has also got all the news. After seeing the news, Li Yu was speechless.
Jiangxia Man did rebel, but it was originally only aimed at the Jiangxia region. At first, these mountain people were oppressed by the family like the mountain people of Wu Yue, and they had to rise up to make trouble, but in the end they were defined as rebellion. But he didn't want the Lujiang bandit Huang Sui to cause trouble, so at his invitation, Jiang Xiaman quickly hooked up with him and attacked Lujiang County together.
The two groups of people had nearly 10,000 people, not to mention nearly 10,000 people, and then they even coerced the local people, and the number reached 100,000.
The total number of local defenders in Lujiang County is less than 3,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is not optimistic. Lu Kang arrived temporarily, but the result was only clear rewards and punishments, and then he broke through the Huang Xuan Department, and the rest actually fell into the wind or something...... This TMD is simply an explosion of the king's tyranny!
History does not describe this battle in detail, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" only says that it took several years to calm down. Considering that in 186 Zhao Ci also raised troops against the Han Dynasty...... It is estimated that the two wars are confused, and Sima Guang also thinks that the hegemony of this battle is too strong, and it is difficult to describe it in detail......
Further, Jiang Xiaman has been migrating from Nanjun for decades. After so many years of sinicization and localization, I'm afraid that there is already an inextricable relationship with the Jiangxia family itself, and it is debatable whether it can be regarded as quite a lot.
Li Yu understood that in the past, Lu Kang was willing to help the family come forward to persuade Liu Hong and force him to reduce the tax collection. After all, there is no doubt that this tax will definitely hurt the interests of the family. The latter also knew that someone would help him, so he was also unscrupulous, and as a result, he was first dismissed, and then re-re-recruited a few years later.
Now Jiang Xiaman is the family's return gift to Lu Kang, and Lang Lang is just a kind of Lang official, and he has no real power. But Taishou didn't say that he was in charge of a county, and his power was much greater than that of Yilang, and he was raised from the original 600 stones to 1,000 stones.
Does the family need to rely on Yulu to get by? Unless it is those stupid officials from poor families, the officials from the family rely on the fields and chambers of commerce controlled by the family, and their income is completely thousands of times that of Yulu, and the identity of the county guard is what they really value.
Besides, there is no one in the court? So many generals, so many troops were sent to attack the barbarians? As a result, he only appointed Lu Kang as the Taishou of Lujiang, and he didn't even send troops to him, so he directly quelled the rebellion......
Therefore, this was originally Lu Kang's personal show, and Li Yu and the others really came to play soy sauce this time. No wonder Liu Hong still has to directly and appropriately drag Lu Kang's retreat, it seems that even that one is not happy that these families use his country and people to make a reputation!
"Lu Kang has arrived?" When he got up the next day, Yang Lang came to tell Li Yu about it, and the latter asked casually.
"I have arrived last night, and I am integrating the troops of Lujiang County, and the disciples of Momen have simply counted the strength of Lujiang County, all of which are added up, not considering the situation of defending the city, the strength is as high as 5,000, but the number of soldiers who can fight is less than 2,000. The point is that it is impossible for them not to defend the city, so it is actually very rare to be able to dispatch 2,000 troops. Yang Lang replied.
"Isn't it dangerous to be so Shuxian, we have to hurry!" Xu Fu couldn't help but exclaim, in the end, he had not experienced the process of killing people and leaving his hometown, and finally went to Jingzhou to study after getting lucky to meet Shi Tao, and now Xu Fu is just a pure ranger.
"On the contrary, they will not be in any danger at all, and the 100,000 rebels are just a false number, and there are really only 30,000. Jiang Xiaman and Huang Sui only had 3,000 people in their headquarters, and the main force seemed to have gone elsewhere. The remaining 27,000 people are just a rabble, and if they are damaged more than two achievements, they will collapse, and as for the remaining 3,000 people......" Yang Lang reminded, and in the end he was embarrassed to say it.
The main forces have been removed, and what remains is naturally a rabble. In fact, this is a show, Jiang Xiaman and Huang Sui can get a lot of property and materials, Jiang Xiaman took these materials back to the Dabie Mountain area to enjoy, Huang Sui's identity is unknown, he is said to be a bandit but he can just cut off someone's head instead, and then he can go back to be a local tyrant by changing his identity.
Moreover, Lu Kang himself is not only these soldiers, and the family in the Lujiang area will be a monk to help him, of course, these will naturally not be written into the battle report. All the families combined, there are probably thousands.
After the war, what they got was the fields of ordinary small families and landlords after Jiang Xiaman and Huang Sui swept away, and even their markets and trade routes in the four counties.
Because of this military exploit, Lu Kang also sat firmly in the official position of Lujiang Taishou according to history.
It is only the ordinary landlords and small families in the four counties of Lujiang who suffer, as well as the ordinary people and Liu Hong himself. The latter also strongly expressed his resentment, that is, he did not let Lu Kang be promoted again until his death, and after the war, he only named Lu Kang's grandson Lu Shang as Langzhong. Lu Kang himself stayed in Lujiang until 195 AD, held on for two years, and was finally broken by Sun Ce, and then died of illness in the last month.
In a sense, it can be regarded as being indirectly killed by Liu Hong.
"Then what do you want us to come over for?" Huang Gai was the first to express his dissatisfaction.
"Hit soy sauce! By the way, let's see if we can drag our feet and make a fool of ourselves! Li Yu said angrily.
"Soy sauce?" The word has not yet appeared, and it is no wonder that everyone does not understand it.
"Happen to be passing by, or make up a count or something!" Li Yu said the whole meaning, and everyone suddenly realized.
"That's boring!" Huang Gai was a little depressed, he thought it was the first war he enlisted, but he turned out to be here to fight soy sauce. His ability to accept new things is faster, and this word has actually been picked up by him!
"No, no, no, I don't plan to go on a campaign without the slightest benefit, since we are out, then we have to bring something back!" Li Yu shook his head and said.
"What can I take back? I don't see any good! Huang Gai is just a hot-blooded young man at the moment, and even a little stunned, of course, he seems to be so arrogant after middle age.
"Not to mention more, tens of thousands of young people should still be available! They were coerced by the rebels, and although there were extenuating circumstances, the law of the country was intolerable, and they would inevitably die. Rather than waste it, it is better to pull it back into the autonomous region, anyway, we are short of manpower! Li Yu smiled and replied, this kind of benefit can only be considered by a superior person like him, and others will only think it is a burden.
"We already have a population of 300,000 in our autonomous region, and the number is growing!" Xu Fu reminded.
"But they are all mountain people, and their fighting and hunting skills are good, and their farming skills are slightly degraded!" Li Yu reminded when he heard this.
