Chapter Twenty-One: Han Jun's Enwei and Shi Fu entered the tiger's den

"What? Yanyun: You said that in the past half a day, there have only been a few people who have surrendered? ”

In the eldest son county ya, Han Jun suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said angrily: "Don't think that I don't know their little thoughts, and I think that the law is not responsible for the public, so I try to get away with it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In this world, how can there be such a cheap thing! ”

Wang Ling smiled bitterly: "This is also human nature, don't get angry and hurt your body!" ”

Han Jun waved his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, Yanyun, pass on my order to gather all the ordinary people of Changzi County early tomorrow morning to assemble outside this county seat." I want to see if they can't hide it from me! ”

The season is close to Qingming, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, but for the more than 10,000 civilians outside the county seat of Changzi, most of them are as cold as deep winter in their hearts. Yesterday, I learned that the state pastor came to Changzi County in person, issued a list of peace and people, and encouraged him to turn himself in. With a little bit of luck, or the goods they were reluctant to rob, the vast majority of people chose to remain silent in the end. But when the tiger-wolf soldiers rushed into their homes and drove them out of the firstborn city like sheep, they began to regret it again.

Toast without eating and drinking, that's what they're talking about!

Han Jun stood on the city wall coldly, looking at the crowd under the city wall, the corners of his mouth outlined a cold smile, and he tried to raise his voice and said loudly: "I am the Marquis of Han Yong, the general of Zhenbei, and Han Jun, the governor of the state!" Merge the state, it is the merger of the Han Dynasty! It's not an independent kingdom, it's not a lawless wilderness! What kind of behavior is gathering crowds to loot, killing people and setting fires? What is the difference between this trip and the Yellow Turban Bandits? However, God has the virtue of a good life, and I am not a person who is easy to kill, so I will give you another chance! I'll give you another stick of incense! Anyone who voluntarily surrenders within this time period will be given a light sentence according to the law! Those who have exceeded this time limit, but who try to fool them out, will not be spared once they are investigated and punished! ”

There are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. Han Jun's loud voice reached the ears of the civilians, and immediately caused a noisy discussion. Everyone has their own ideas, and the expressions on everyone's faces are different. There are those who disagree, there are those who are apprehensive, and there are those who are relieved......

The time of a stick of incense passed quickly, and Han Jun reappeared at the head of the city, and said loudly: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu once made three chapters of the law after entering the customs, and the murderer died, injured and stolen to the crime!" Today I also have three chapters of the law, the murder and the death of the **, the crime of stealing and robbing, and the unforgivable sin will not harm the family! The time for a stick of incense has passed, and those who surrender can go forward to the city gate to register and wait for the distribution! ”

As soon as Han Jun said this, a large number of civilians gritted their teeth and shivered and walked away from the crowd and walked towards the city gate. In front of everyone's eyes, Han Jun had already made it very clear that it would not hurt his family, and they were not afraid that Han Jun would regret it. There are many people who participate in the robbery just to fill the stomachs of themselves and their families, and they have already expected today's outcome. Therefore, most of the people who surrendered were calm.

"Han Envoy Jun is above, please ask a little courage, rumors have been spreading recently, saying that the state pastor wants to divide the land equally, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

In the chaotic crowd, a clear voice suddenly sounded, Rao is Han Jun people were on the city wall, and they actually heard it clearly.

Han Jun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting someone to be so bold, but then he smiled and said, "The cultivator has his field, and the dweller has his house!" That's what I've been fighting for all my life! Rest assured, once this is over, I will proceed to arrange for the equal distribution of the land! ”

For farmers, nothing is more important than the land, if they only thought they were dreaming before, now when they heard Han Jun's personal promise, they were all overjoyed, and they fell to their knees in a hurry.

Han Jun had a faint smile on his face, and he really felt a burst of heartache in his heart, the peasants at the bottom of the ruling class were like this, a little favor would make them grateful to Dade, and they would only accept it silently. Unless they really can't live anymore, most of them will grit their teeth and endure all kinds of exploitation and oppression, all kinds of injustice.

There are more than 10,000 civilians, and there are about 2,000 people who have come forward to turn themselves in, although this number is not small, but it is far from enough. Although Han Jun couldn't bear to let the common people be oppressed by the local tyrants, he would never allow the traitors to go unpunished.

Slowly walking down the city wall, Han Jun came to the outside of the city gate, and his eyes swept to the corner of the city gate, where there were more than 2,000 people standing or squatting to turn themselves in, and everyone was trembling. After all, not everyone who tries to get away with it will be found out, and they are destined to go to prison.

"It can be changed after that, and it is great to be good! You can still have shame, it's not hopeless! Therefore, in addition to the unforgivable sins such as murder, **, arson, etc., you can be punished lightly! ”

As soon as Han Jun said this, most of the people who surrendered breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not the crime of beheading, then there was still hope for everything. As long as they can live, it is great news for them.

"Now I am in ruins, reclaiming wasteland, repairing city defenses, and leveling roads all require a lot of manpower, I wonder if you are willing to use your strength in exchange for freedom?"

After all, the number of prisoners that can be accommodated in the prisons in each county of Bingzhou is limited, and more than 2,000 people are in charge at once, not to mention the eldest son county, I am afraid that all the prisons in the state may not be enough.

"I do!"

"Han Envoy Jun Shengming!"

"I have the strength, and I'm not afraid to do heavy work! I do! ”

Although the civilians do not quite understand what "freedom" means, they will not spare their strength if they have a glimmer of hope not to go to the hellish prison cell.

"What I initially mean is that, depending on the severity of the crime, you will be punished with a sentence of three months to one year, food and lodging will be provided by the governor's office, and you will be allowed to go home one day a month to visit your relatives. Have you ever been willing to be convinced? ”

After all, Han Jun is a modern person, and he doesn't know that in ancient times, most of the "conscriptions" required the servants to bring their own food, but he still couldn't make up his mind and let these poor people work hungry.

Han Jun's words came out, and the civilians directly fell to their knees again. was born like a cow and a horse, but now there is a high-ranking official who treats them as people, how can this make them not grateful to Dade? What's more, they can't stop crying.

"Now that it is time for spring ploughing, if you wait for the labor to be requisitioned, you will surely delay the agricultural time. The herdsmen and other family members in this state are not hungry, and those who have been requisitioned can each get a bucket of grain per month. However, all the food you have looted before must be handed over! Don't leave it private! Have you ever been willing? ”

Would you like to? Naturally, yes. When they stood up and turned themselves in, they didn't expect to be able to leave the looted goods, and it was reasonable to hand them over, but Zhou Mu was kind and kind, and he actually cared about the life and death of their family, which made them treat Han Jun as if he were a parent.

None of the civilians objected, Han Jun nodded with satisfaction, his expression suddenly changed, he turned his head coldly to look at the dense crowd, raised his hand and pointed: "If you have a heart of repentance, I will be tolerant of myself." However, there are people who try to fool me and turn a deaf ear to what I said. Now, I want you to help me testify against the perpetrators. After verifying the evidence, it is true that every person named can be exempted from one month's forced labor and reunited with his family one day earlier! ”

For the civilians who surrendered, Han Jun was benevolent to them, and they were also grateful to Han Jun, not to mention that now there is still a chance to make meritorious contributions to the crime, so most of them can't care about their brother's righteousness, and they rushed forward to report to Han Jun.

Han Jun waved his hand and handed over this cumbersome matter to Wang Ling to deal with, and he was also very relieved about this cow who would give Sima Yi a headache in the future.

After a series of measures, the combination of grace and power not only greatly weakened the power of the local powerful invisibly, but also collected the people's hearts for their own use. Seeing that the situation in Changzi County had stabilized, Han Jun let out a sigh of exhaustion. To say that he disobeyed Xun Yu's opinion, frustrated and insisted on going his own way, the pressure in his heart was also very great, for fear that if he was not careful, his previous efforts would be wasted. Now it seems that his choice is not wrong, eradicating the local powerful forces, although he may lose some popularity, but he has gained the hearts of the people of the state. Between gains and losses, it is natural that what is gained is far greater than what is lost.

Haoqiang was frightened, and they also lost the courage to resist under the shadow of death. Needless to say, those who were lucky enough to avoid this turmoil also obediently gave away the land deeds and most of the property. Commoners were given land, and although a large number of civilians were punished for their participation in the turmoil, the peasants had land, and they had hope, and they would not have other ideas.

And the state, as Han Jun said, ushered in the great rule after the chaos. It was the beginning of spring and early summer, and there was a busy scene everywhere in the state. The fields, the wilderness and the riverbanks are no longer desolate.

In the state government, Xun Yu looked worried, and he was also absent-minded when he played against Han Jun, and he was accidentally attacked by Han Jun and slaughtered a big dragon alive!

"Hahahaha, Mr. Wenruo, I said that one day I would defeat you, and now I finally did it!"

Han Jun happily reviewed the cloth like a child, and couldn't wait to relive the joy of victory.

Xun Yu sighed and said: "My lord, although the state is now a thriving new atmosphere, there is no lack of hidden worries under the grand occasion. If you don't deal with it properly, you are afraid that it will cause irreparable disasters in the future! ”

Han Jun was stunned for a moment, pushed away the chess scale, and asked, "Please also ask Mr. Wen Ruo to speak clearly." ”

Xun Yu replied: "First of all, there is a shortage of people in Bingzhou, although there are thousands of troops to be sent, but the progress of reclamation is still very slow, and Bingzhou is bitterly cold, and the fields are scarce, but there are hundreds of thousands of hungry people waiting to be fed. Xun Yu is worried that although the treasury of our state government is still full, if we only can't get in and out, I'm afraid that in a short time, there will be a danger of making ends meet! ”

Han Jun's face suddenly became very ugly, and he forced a smile: "Aren't there still homeless people to add?" ”

Xun Yu sighed: "After the Yellow Turban Bandits, there are many displaced people in the world, but it is bitter cold in Bingzhou, and Huguan Road is rugged and difficult to travel, so few displaced people enter the territory of Bingzhou. Although the lord issued a policy to reassure the people, the time was still short and the effect was slow. ”

Han Jun rubbed his head with a headache, his brows furrowed together, but he had nothing to do about it, so he could only ask Xun Yu rhetorically: "What is Mr. Wenruo's good plan?" ”

Xun Yu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he laughed and said, "Haven't you forgotten that there are millions of thieves in Montenegro?" ”

Han Jun was overjoyed, slapped his head and said, "If it weren't for the military advisor's reminder, it would be a big mistake!" ”

Xun Yu also woke up like a dream, and said with a smile: "If you get millions of people in Montenegro, then the state will be safe!" ”

Fu Zhu frowned and said: "Most of the black mountain thieves are distributed in the south of Jingcheng, the mountains are high and dense, the roads are rugged, and it is not easy to cut down!" Before granting, it was suggested that the lord send a man who could speak well to meet Zhang Yan, know the benefits, and persuade him to lead the crowd to vote. Now that I think about it, there is something wrong with it. ”

Han Jun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Fu Zhu sighed and said: "Although Zhang Yan has been canonized by the Son of Heaven as a general in peace, he also led troops to participate in the discussion of the Dong Hui League last year. But after all, he was born as a Yellow Turban thief, and he gathered in the mountains and forests to rob his family. If the lord does not abandon and take it in, I am afraid that he will be criticized by the world! ”

Han Jun laughed and said: "It's okay, the eldest husband doesn't ask about his background, and the real hero doesn't ask where he comes from!" As long as Zhang Yanken is loyal to me, I don't care what his background is! ”

He shook his head and said: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, Zhang Yan has been rampant for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to obey!" Therefore, he advised the lord to lead a large army to exterminate the bandits, and to take their leaders and collect their subordinates. A snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without wings. If Zhang Yan dies, his subordinates will definitely scatter, and the lord can take advantage of the situation to choose the best one and take it. This allows them to expand their military power and take their people, which is the best of both worlds! ”

Han Jun pondered for a long time and asked Xun Yu, "What about Mr. Wenruo's opinion?" ”

Xun Yu frowned and said: "Yu thinks that the mountains in the land of Black Mountain are complicated, and the ditch is deep and the road is steep, which is not conducive to the dispatch of the army. It is not the best policy to send troops to attack, and his subordinates suggested that the lord salute first and then the soldiers, if Zhang Yan led the crowd to vote, then the lord wanted to get rid of it and turn it over. If Zhang Yan does not comply, it will not be too late to send troops to conquer again. ”

Han Jun nodded, "What Mr. Wen Ruo said is very true, but I don't know who can go and move Zhang Yan for me?" ”

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Xun Yu is not talented, I am willing to go this way for the lord!" ”

Han Jun refused: "Now that the state is in ruins, how can Mr. Wen Ruo leave lightly?" ”

Frustrated and pleaded: "Your Majesty is willing to go!" ”

Han Jun refused without thinking about it: "How can a military advisor's daughter risk his life?" ”

Fu Zhu insisted: "I am blessed with the love of the lord, and I will do my best for the great cause of the lord, and I will not be afraid of the tiger's den in Longtan!" ”

Han Jun shook his head and said, "Zhang Yan's temperament is unpredictable, I must not let the military advisor be in danger." ”

Frustrated and fell to his knees, "Brother Wen Ruo has a heavy burden, Yanyun, Ziran and others are still young, and Zhengnan stayed in Jizhou. Among the people available to the lord, he is quite articulate and self-articulate, so I think this trip is my own. ”

Xun Yu also persuaded: "I heard that General Zilong and Zhang Yannai are old acquaintances of fellow villagers, why don't you send them to accompany the military advisor." General Zilong is loyal and brave, one can protect the safety of the military division, and the other may play an unexpected role! ”

Han Jun thought for a long time, and then nodded slowly, "If there is something discordant, the military advisor must not insist, and leave quickly." I'd rather not have a million Montenegrins than lose my military advisor! ”

With tears in his eyes, he said: "The lord is very gracious, and the broken bones of the frustrated professor will be repaid!" ”

Zhang Yan, the general of the Great Han Dynasty, did not have his own mansion, and he was not uncommon. Zhang Yan, who was born in the mountains, grew up in the mountains and likes to stay in the mountains the most.

Standing on top of a mountain and looking ahead through the thin mist is Zhang Yan's favorite thing to do.

It was another foggy morning, and Zhang Yan, who was standing on the top of the mountain, remembered a lot of past events and old people. For a man like him, nostalgia is a very luxurious thing, but Zhang Yan can't deceive his heart. He really misses the years when he fought in all directions, when he was still called Chu Yan, at that time he only had more than 100 strong men, at that time he ate a large piece of meat and drank wine, and at that time he dared to fight with anyone when he picked up a knife.

At that time, after all, it was just that time, and now Zhang Yan is older, although his skills have not fallen, but he feels that his heart has become old.

He thought of his father-in-law, the Yan Zhao Zhuangman who taught him to march and fight, and also remembered his unwilling roar, which was a struggle against the injustice of fate, and also a wake-up call and reminder to himself.

Zhang Yan knew very well in his heart that although the imperial court had long crowned himself as a general in peace, in the eyes of the people of the world, their Black Mountain Army was still a Black Mountain thief. A thief for a day, a thief for life, he didn't know what the future would hold, so he looked out into the distance almost every morning, he wanted to see through the fog of confusion, he wanted to see the future of him and all those under him.

But every day, he would be disappointed. Today, it is no exception.

Until her eyes were sour and her head was messed up, Zhang Yan still found nothing, so she could only sigh helplessly, and slowly turned around and returned to the camp.

The hot breakfast was ready, but Zhang Yan had no appetite, her eyes stared directly at the map of Hebei hanging in the big tent, but her thoughts didn't know where to go.

"Marshal, Yuan Shao, Marquis of Qixiang, sent a messenger again, and warmly invited the marshal to Yecheng to discuss the merger of the two armies in detail!"

Outside the tent, a burly man burst in, waving a letter in his hand with joy on his face.

Zhang Yan raised her head and glanced at him lightly, and said quietly: "Tao Sheng, I have told you many times, in the big tent, don't shout." This time, I'll spare you for the time being, but I won't make an example. Put the letter there, and you go back. ”
