(Ask for collection, ask for collection.) Ask for recommendation votes, please collect it from book friends who like it, thank you very much...... )

"Why is the tax of 30% added, and the court still doesn't let people live?"

"Let's go, let's go to Lord Han."

"Yes, go to Lord Han, he will definitely make decisions for us."

When the notice of tax collection was posted at the head of the city, the people of the city were boiling at once. In just one hour, most of the people in the city came to the gate of Han Lie's county governor's mansion.

Han Lie, who had already received the news, did not have the slightest surprise, put on the fish scale armor that he had not worn for a long time, put on a helmet, and held a horse cutting knife in his hand, Han Lie, with the support of Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Xu Rong, Wang Ling, Li Yang and others, as well as hundreds of soldiers who were ready to go, walked out of the mansion.

The noisy people, when they saw Han Lie hanging out for the first time, everyone's expressions were first in awe, and the originally noisy crowd also calmed down suddenly.

"Folks, as the saying goes, harsh government is fiercer than tiger, this year our county suffered a flood that has not been encountered in a century, it stands to reason that taxes should be reduced, but the imperial court and state government want to increase our taxes, as a parent official, I am ashamed of you, so I have decided to abandon the official and go." As soon as Han Lie's words came out, the crowd in the field suddenly lost control.

"My lord, Lord Han......"

"Lord Han, you're gone, what should we do!"

"Oh my God, is Lord Han going to abandon us too?"

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and the cries rose and fell to each other, and some old people in the front row even knelt down and shouted, "Lord Han, please don't abandon your people, stay." ”

"Old man, please get up." While Han Lie handed the horse chopping knife in his hand to Li Yang, he hurriedly stepped forward to help up the old people, and shouted: "It's not that Lie wants to abandon the villagers, but this world is unfair, and there is nothing to be done, from today I decided to form a righteous servant and go to Qingzhou to quell the rebellion, if there are people who are willing to follow me to make contributions, you can come to me to sign up, all those who are hired, this year's taxes will be paid by a certain generation, Lie can only do this, I don't live anywhere, please forgive the villagers." ”

After saying that, Han Lie faced the crowd of people and bowed deeply to express his apologies to them.

"My lord, we are willing to follow you to Qingzhou." The crowd erupted in shouts, and for a moment there was a crowd of responders.

Although there are many servants, Han Lie has put forward certain requirements for the people who are righteous and servant, first of all, those who are fifteen to forty years old, and secondly, he made it clear that there is no money in the first year, only food and lodging are provided, but those who are successfully recruited, no one will give a thousand yuan as a settlement fee, this money is actually used to pay taxes for these people, Han Lie has calculated that a thousand yuan has paid taxes, and there will not be too much left, but it can barely allow many families to support the autumn harvest of the next year.

In just one day, Han Lie recruited 2,000 people, the next day another 1,000, and the third day another 500, adding up to a total of 3,500 strong recruits, plus Han Lie's original 300 private soldiers, and 500 soaps under Zhao Yun's account, of which 300 people joined the team, making Han Lie's temporarily formed Yicong people, but in just a few days, it reached 4,100 people.

The three hundred soap subordinates under Zhao Yun's account have already been trained by Han Lie and Zhao Yun, and this time they gathered troops, all of them were scattered and arranged to serve as captains at the grassroots level in the army.

The 300 private soldiers under Han Lie's account, except for the 100 people who were retained, were all placed in the army, serving as team leaders, tun commanders, military waiters, military horses and other middle and lower-level officers in the army.

4,100 men and horses, were turned into five battalions by Han Lie, Xu Huang served as the captain of the front battalion, Xu Rong served as the captain of the rear battalion, Zhao Yun served as the captain of the left battalion, Dian Wei served as the captain of the right battalion, Han Lie led the lieutenant of the middle battalion, and Wang Ling was the chief of the army, responsible for grain and grass clerical affairs; Xiahou Lan is the commander of the army and is responsible for military law and rewards, and Li Yang is the leader of Han Lie's private cavalry.

In the next ten days, the gold in Han Lie's hands was scattered like flowing water, and the whole army and horses each customized two sets of unified Han army uniforms, and created a batch of swords, guns and arrows, and also gave the sergeant a settling-in fee, plus two months of grain and grass to buy.

After all this was ready, the five thousand gold that Han Lie brought back from Bishui Pass was less than a hundred gold, which meant that the money in his hand could only barely support their daily expenses all the way to Qingzhou, and if they couldn't gain a foothold in Qingzhou, their army would face collapse at any time.

But Han Lie didn't have a choice, because he had to break the boat, otherwise if he stayed in Jizhou, he would sooner or later become a fish on the chopping block, on the contrary, if he went to Qingzhou, he could still give it a go, even if he lost, it also meant that he had struggled.

On September 26, Han Lie issued a declaration of oath in Zhending, and also gave this army a well-known name, and on the original dragon flag of the Han army, a fiery red flame logo was outlined.

On the open Zhending City Gate Square, Han Lie, who was wearing a blood-red brocade robe, was holding a black flag of the Han army on a red background in his hand, but at this moment, there were two more fiery red flames on this flag, and the other flaming red battle flag was embroidered with the word 'red flame'.

Yes, the volunteer army established by Han Lie was named the 'Red Flame Army' by Han Lie, which means that it burns like a flame.

At the same time, Han Lie also gave a loud slogan to this army, and when Han Lie raised the military flag, a neat shout broke out in the military columns after a short training: "Loyal to the Han Dynasty, loyal to the people; Red flames, never die. ”

"Loyal to the Han and loyal to the people; Red flames, never die. ”

A simple slogan aroused this group of people who had lost hope in life, burned their cooled blood, and converged into a blazing red flame.

The chanting of 4,000 people ignited the parting feelings of the people of the whole city, and also heralded that this new army was about to embark on a road paved with a sea of blood.

The influence of the Red Flame Army formed by Han Lie in Zhending only caused some commotion in Changshan County, and no one would naturally pay attention to it no matter how far away it was, after all, in this era, almost every county, there are so-called rebel rebels rising and destroying every day.

When Han Lie led the army to leave Zhending, Wuji's Zhen Yan couldn't help but flash Han Lie's handsome young face and his brother-in-law Zhao Yun's tall and majestic posture, and he couldn't help but have a strong premonition that these young people were only afraid that they would really break out of the world.

And Han Fu in Yecheng, when he saw the embarrassed return of the superintendent and read Han Lie's letterhead, he said with a complicated expression: "That vertical man, really daring." ”

As for Han Lie's letter warning him to alienate Yuan Shao and reuse Zhang He and Gao Lan to lead the troops, he didn't pay attention to it at all; In terms of treating Han Lie, in fact, he has always had a difficult choice, he can see that Han Lie is talented, but it is because Han Lie's ability is too outstanding, so he does not dare to reuse it to stay by his side, so as not to cause trouble to himself.

Although Zhang He and Gao Ran fought side by side with Han Lie all the way to Bishui Pass, after all, the two were born in the Hejian clan and had many children in the family, so it was impossible for them to follow Han Lie as they wanted like Xu Huangdianwei, so when Han Lie left Luoyang, they both chose to stay under Han Fu's tent as generals.

Han Lie naturally understands the choice of the two, and he also knows that his charm is far less than that of making friends with anyone, and he can make life and death with the family.

Even so, when Han Lie formed Yicong this time, he still sent someone to send a letter to the two, hoping that the two could come to Zhending, but as a result, the two still gave up coming to Zhending on the grounds that there were many family members and could not abandon them, and Han Lie could only deeply regret the decision of the two.

Just when Han Lie left Jizhou, an undercurrent in the land of Hebei was also staged.

Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai County, first sent someone to Beiping Taishou to send a lot of money, and persuaded him to send troops to attack Jizhou, saying that after capturing Jizhou, Jizhou territory could be divided equally.

At the same time, Yuan Shao's confidant Feng Ji, Xun Chen rushed to Yecheng, intimidated and threatened Han Fu, saying that Gongsun Zhan's army of 100,000 intended to annex Jizhou, and lobbied Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao if he wanted to keep his glory and wealth.

Just when Yuan Shao was trying to map the territory of Jizhou, there was also a change in the direction of Yanzhou, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai died unexpectedly in the chaos when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, immediately greeted Cao Cao, who lived in Dongjun, first on the table Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, and then promoted Cao Cao to lead the post of Yanzhou pastor.

At the same time, the general Yuan Shu, because he was worried that Nanyang was too close to Guanzhong and was afraid of being attacked by Dong Zhuo, led his army south to kill Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Guan, and took the post of assassin himself.

Sun Jian and Liu Biao in the direction of Jingzhou were also provoked by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers, and when winter came, war also broke out.

In the direction of Hedong County, due to the death of Guo Tai, the commander of the White Wave Army, in July, in order to compete for the position of commander, infighting ensued, and the huge White Wave Army was also dispersed into several units.

Just when the Baibo Army in Hedong collapsed, the female assassin who had met Han Lie in Luoyang in the past was surrounded and suppressed by Han Xianam, the commander of the Baibo Army who surrendered to the imperial court, and her team of Geji Assassins was almost destroyed.

At this time, Diao Chan, who had left Zhending, suddenly appeared in Hedong, and with the power of the Wang family of Bingzhou, he secretly responded to the Yaoji Palace Master and his remnants of the singer and evacuated from Hedong.
