Chapter 990: Heading South (Part II)
The eight counties of Jingzhou take Nanyang County, the northernmost county, as the gateway. After Gao Yang captured Nanyang County, it was equivalent to opening up a smooth passage to the land of Jingzhou in the south.
At this time, there were continuous beacons in Jingzhou, and after the suicide of the predecessor assassin, the entire Jingzhou was plunged into extreme chaos.
At this time, the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River were the strongest under Sun Jian's command who returned to Changsha, and the other three counties all resisted with difficulty under Sun Jian's attack. If there is no accident, it won't be long before the Jiangdong Tigers can take the land of the four counties.
As for the four counties of Jiangbei, Nanyang County had fallen into the hands of the menacing Gaoyang at this time. And Xiangyang, Jiangling and Jiangxia are facing Gaoyang's soldiers at the moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in danger.
The powers that rule these places are not subordinate to each other. They neither work together nor surrender on their own initiative. In this way, I watched the three counties fall into Gao Yang's hands one after another.
In fact, when facing the powerful Gaoyang army, which has the righteous reputation of the imperial court, they did not want to surrender.
It's just that the literary style in Jingzhou is too prosperous, and the power of the family and the local heroes is too strong. Because compulsory education completely offended the intellectual class, Gao Yang became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the vast majority of literati in Jingzhou. They instigated all the armed forces to fight to the end with Gaoyang. Even if there are really people who are afraid of Gao Yang's strong soldiers and try to surrender. It was also blocked by these local snakes who really held the power of Jingzhou. It can only be a desperate battle.
For these opponents who block the tide of history, Gao Yang will naturally not be polite.
Those opposition forces said that it was because of compulsory education that they opposed Gao Yang. But Gao Yang knew very well in his heart that the real reason for the desperate resistance of these local snakes was his land reform policy.
For example, Gao Yang directly used violent means to destroy the big landlords who originally occupied most of the means of production. Emancipate the tenants who originally belonged to the landlords, and redistribute all the land and wealth of the landlords. Such a heavy-handed approach will naturally be met with fierce resistance.
What Gao Yang did in Sili had already spread all over the world, and all the big landlords in the world were panicked.
For someone like Gao Yang who directly destroyed everything they had, it must be itching at the root of their teeth. Gao Yang's resistance will naturally become extremely resolute and intense!
There are even many wealthy families and century-old gate lords who have given all their support to the local warlords to fight against Gaoyang.
Gao Yang didn't care about anyone's resistance, he had unparalleled strength in his hands. Those who try to use various methods to fight against Gao Yang are all just mantis arms as cars.
Gao Yang stayed in Nanyang County for more than half a month. On the one hand, the local resistance forces in Nanyang County were eliminated and a large-scale land redistribution was initiated. While waiting for Xun Yu, who moved his family south from Yuan Shao.
Xun Yu has great talent.
Xun Yu's talent is more manifested in politics, and his talent in military affairs is far inferior to that of Xun Yu and others. But for Gao Yang, this is the much-needed talent.
Gao Yang's subordinates are not short of masters in war, because his hardware strength is enough to crush all opponents. What he lacked was administrative talent. Especially those with a good reputation and experience in governance. People in this era attach great importance to reputation. The biochemical warriors under Gao Yang didn't say anything about fighting, but it was a bit reluctant to do administrative affairs.
After Xun Yu settled his family in Luoyang City, he soon rode all the way south to Nanyang City to meet Gao Yang, who was recruited by Gao Yang on his own initiative.
"Wen Ruo. I've heard that you have the talent of Wang Zuozhi. I'd like to hear what you think about today's situation. In the Nanyang City Guard Mansion, Gao Yang, who was wearing a brocade robe but had short hair, shook the whiskey glass in his hand and asked indifferently.
Xun Yu, who was sitting in the hall, raised his eyebrows and put down the glow-in-the-dark wine glass in his hand. glanced at Xun You, who was sitting opposite, holding a half-lit cigarette in his hand. After a moment of deep silence. He bowed and said loudly, "Reply to the Taiwei." Yu believes that today's chaos continues. It seems that the yellow turban is a disaster, but in fact, the root cause of the bane was planted when Emperor Guangwu revived the Han family. ”
"Oh?" Gao Yang's eyes lit up, nodded slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Go on." ”
"Yes." Xun Yu responded, "The Han family is based on the foundation of the people, and the foundation of the people lies in the fields. In order to overthrow Wang Mang, Emperor Guangwu relied on the power of local heroes. After success, it will naturally bring the power of local heroes into the court. The policy of relocation, which had been carried out for many years, was completely abolished. There are no worries, and there are people in the court who speak for them, and the powerful people have since begun to unscrupulously annex land on a large scale. They colluded with officials everywhere to ask for more than just land. Even the people everywhere, an important source of tax revenue for the imperial court, were forcibly turned into tenants who worked for them. This dug out the foundation of the Han family from the roots. ”
Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, his face full of irrepressible surprise.
Xun Yu is really talented. Can he see such a deep cause and effect? During the Three Kingdoms period, the cattle were prepared, and it was really not nonsense.
Xun Yu took a big sip of the wine glass, raised his hand and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and continued with a ruddy face, "Now the world is chaotic, the fields are barren, the materials are scarce, and the people's lives are unsustainable, so they can only rise up." I want to change that completely. The only way is for Taiwei to use forceful means to knock everything down and start over, and return to the national policy of the Wenjing period. ”
Xun Yu's words carried an inexplicable pride. Being able to participate in a major event of this scale will inevitably go down in history. This is what the literati of this era are most enthusiastic to pursue. Moreover, in doing so, it can save the Han dynasty that the building is about to fall. Let the Han family, which has been caught in the storm, recover. In the future, as long as Gaoyang does not rebel, the Han Empire will have at least hundreds of years of national fortune. As for Gao Yang's desire to rebel, with the strength he showed in his hands at the moment, no one could stop him. Xun Yu didn't know.
This is also the reason why he took the initiative to come to Gaoyang.
Xun Yu actually didn't know how strong Gao Yang's true strength was. The reason why he gave up Yuan Shao and took the initiative to take refuge in Gao Yang was because he knew about Gao Yang's land redistribution by forceful means on the territory of Sili.
The sharp-eyed Xun Yu immediately realized that this was the only way to save the Han family. After he received Xun You's letter. With the opportunity to face Gao Yang directly, Xun Yu immediately set off to the south.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu's clan had lost a lot of land and wealth due to the war, and they didn't care that Gaoyang's land redistribution would get on their heads now.
At this time, Gao Yang has begun to show his grandeur. In his hand, he has a unique army that swept through the Western Liang Army and the Kwantung Coalition Army. manipulates the court and the emperor, and occupies the position of righteousness. And Gao Yang himself is even more determined, and his reputation is far and wide in the world. When will such a lord not go to the pole to take refuge in his position?
After listening to Xun Yu's words. Gao Yang stood tall with one hand behind his back, and the other hand held the wine glass and shook it gently. His eyes narrowed slightly, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
After a while, Gao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xun Yu, and said, "Okay." Since you have this heart, then I will give you a chance. I will appoint you as the assassin of Jingzhou to oversee the affairs of Jingzhou, and I hope you will not disappoint me. ”
Gao Yang re-planned the local administration of the Han Empire. It's like Xun Yu, who was directly appointed by him as the supreme head of a state, holding the administrative power of a state. However, he did not have any power to mobilize troops.
The method adopted by Gao Yang is very simple, separating the military from the government. Those who are engaged in civil affairs are resolutely not allowed to meddle in military affairs. Those who follow the military line are absolutely not allowed to meddle in government affairs.
Gao Yang had already arranged a group of biochemical warriors, who would become the commanders of the Jingzhou army. And Xun Yu will definitely not have any military power in his hands.
......
For Gao Yang, the only trouble that stopped it from sweeping Jingzhou was Changsha Taishou Sun Jian. This famous Jiangdong Tiger is the only warlord in Jingzhou's eight counties who truly possesses strength. And his old nest is still in the south of the river. With the vast river moat as a screen, there is a powerful naval army in his hands. For Gaoyang, who is preparing to go south, it is one of the most difficult goals.
After Xun Yu officially took office in Nanyang County. Gao Yang, who had already prepared for a long time, immediately divided his troops into two ways to attack. One route was commanded by Zhang Liao, a general under his command, who led more than 10,000 troops south to Jiangxia. On the other hand, the main army and horses were personally led by Gao Yang to Xiangyang City through Xinye.
When passing through Xinye, Gao Yang also sent troops to find Mr. Wolong. Unexpectedly, he was ridiculed by the origin.
At this time, Mr. Wolong was not yet ten years old and was living with his family in Shandong. He really came to Jingzhou when Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, and it was still very early at this time.
Moreover, even if Gao Yang finds a real person, what can he do? What talent can such a young child have? Without the baptism of time and the precipitation of the years, even Mr. Wolong could not have been born with a talent of all the world. Unless he's crossing.
Gao Yang just smiled lightly, and the matter was revealed. He only remembered it for a moment, and it was impossible for him to remember everything in detail in his mind. With the current state of this time and space, it is estimated that Mr. Wolong will not be able to make a master in the future.
After Gao Yang left Xinye, he soon arrived at Xiangyang City, the seat of Jingzhou Administration. This is one of the most prosperous places in Jingzhou. Fertile land is vast, the population is large, the business is prosperous, and the literary style is prosperous. This is also the place where Jingzhou's resistance to Gaoyang is most fierce. But the end result was not a surprise.
Even if Yuan Shu's resistance before bought some time for Xiangyang City, so that they could gather the people, soldiers, horses and all kinds of materials to defend the city. However, where are these soldiers and horses temporarily organized with money and money the opponents of Gao Yang's subordinates? (To be continued.) )xh118
