Chapter 50: I'm sorry, I don't need an uncle
Most of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's army of more than 40,000 people are Chen Liuhaoqiang, landlords, and scholars, and they are not completely loyal to the Zhang brothers, otherwise Wei Hong would not have made such a big move at the instigation, what is this song?
In the great peasant uprising at the end of the new year, the local Haoqiang once formed an armed force with the clans, guests, and children to which the military establishment department belonged. This is the first time in Chinese history that the guests have been tried.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the private armed forces of powerful landlords had not yet taken a permanent and open form.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the subsequent warlord melee, many peasants who were suffering from the war went to ask for the protection of the armed family members, and the family members also needed to enrich the armed forces in order to gather people to protect themselves or go out to fight. Therefore, in accordance with the practice of the new reckless and powerful people, more military feudalism was used to control their own clans, guests, tenants, protégés, and former officials.
In this way, the tribe was once again formed in large numbers, and became a common synonym for the private armed forces of the great clans. This kind of private part of a wealthy family is also called a family soldier on some occasions. They inherited the tradition of private soldiers since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were tribals when they fought, and they were tenants in peacetime, that is, armed cultivators who ploughed and fought.
At the same time, the official corps, which was originally under the command of government generals, was also reclaimed when there was no fighting. Subsequently, the general saw that it was profitable and recruited more widely to engage in production. In the troubled world, people have nowhere to go, the subordinates will always follow the generals, the subordinates will absolutely obey the orders of the subordinate officers, and the color of subordinate to the private ownership of the main general is getting stronger and stronger.
More than 10,000 of the more than 40,000 troops in Chen Liucheng were recruited by the Huang family, so they had the courage to dare to rebel against Zhang Miao, but the Huang family who were surrounded by the Huang clan mansion did not dare to move, they relied on their influence in Chen Liu, and they were not afraid of Cao Cao at all, but unfortunately Cao Cao was not afraid of them either;
Cao Cao asked Li Yu how to treat Chen Liu's scholars and heroes; Li Yu only said one sentence: pull a batch, press a batch, kill a batch; What does that mean? is to win over people like Wei Hong who are close to him, suppress a group of people who are not very close to him and have some disgust with him, and then kill a group of people who strongly oppose him, and use it to deter those who have bad intentions, that is, to kill chickens and show monkeys;
"Let go of me! Do you know who Lao Tzu is? A white and chubby old man struggled and shouted angrily, like a chicken lifted into the air, letting him struggle and flutter, and his big fan-like hands firmly held his back collar and carried him to the camp of Chen Liu's Zhang Miao army;
"Junming! How can you treat Old Man Huang like this? Put it down! Cao Cao scolded Dian Wei while sorting out the clothes of the embarrassed old man Huang, who is the current helmsman of the Huang family and the head of the Huang family;
Dian Wei scratched his head and looked puzzled, didn't you call me a little fierce just now? His simple brain can't keep up with Cao Cao's thoughts!
"Come, come, come! Dissipate your anger, old man Huang, shout twice, call out the people of your family, the kid has a few words to say to them! Cao Cao said to Old Man Huang with a smile, but no matter how you look at him, he has bad intentions;
"Humph!" , Old Man Huang snorted angrily, turned his head and said nothing;
"Oops! Don't be so stubborn! Feel relieved! Won't hurt them! Scream twice! Well? Cao Cao kept talking, looking at the old man Huang who was silent with his eyes closed;
Cao Cao's smile was still the same: "Who is that!" Yuan Jean! Bring it on! In the Cao army not far away, the burly Xiahoudun walked out with a young man again, threw it to the ground, stepped on the man, and slowly raised the spear in his hand!
Just now the Huang family's compound was broken by Xiahou Tang and his people, those troops are not elite, and the time for military training is still short, even if they are not afraid of death to stop the Cao army, it is just a little delay, but in a few minutes, the main characters left behind by the Huang family were captured;
Thinking that they are brainless enough, they decided to take refuge in Yuan Shao, then Chen Liucheng as a gift, then they should do their best not to hesitate; If they have already rebelled, they should first do their own way back, and they should act more fiercely, but they only use the small trick of instigating soldiers to mutiny, and there is no guarantee of their own back road, and they are suddenly caught in the weak point and do not dare to move;
Now that they are fish and meat, and Cao Cao has turned into an invincible sword, how to slaughter them is not how to slaughter them? It's ridiculous that they are still thinking that they are the biggest wealthy family in Chen Liu, and they hope that Cao Cao will not dare to touch them, and they don't want to think that Cao Cao can be compared to Zhang Miao, who was afraid of wolves and tigers.
"Grandson!" , Old Man Huang shouted in fright, and the young man cried even more: "Grandpa! Help me! This is the most popular junior of Old Man Huang, can his heart not be messed up? The steel gun held high by Xiahoudun deliberately slowed down, falling down little by little, and destroying Old Man Huang's psychological defense line little by little;
People are like this, once they panic, they will be confused about everything, and lose their rational judgment and choice;
"Yay! Old man! Hurry up and get out of here, don't splash blood! Cao Cao exaggeratedly pulled Old Man Huang back, "Stop! I listen to you for everything! Don't hurt him! Old Man Huang finally couldn't stand it anymore and cried;
"That's right! Go shout a few words! Gather all the people of your Huang family here! Changing the appearance of a hippie smile, Cao Cao coldly ordered, these people have been sentenced to death, Cao Cao will never allow a second voice in his army except for himself!
"General Cao may guarantee our safety? You must know that we are..." Old Man Huang didn't worry about saying a few more words, the young man over there had already shouted, and Xiahoudun's spear had already pierced in front of him;
"Stop! I listen to you for everything! Listen to you!···", the old man Huang, who was chattering, didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly summoned the Huang clan people in the military camp;
Soon, more than 200 clansmen, protégés, guests, etc. of the Huang family were gathered here, as long as they were disposed of, the remaining temporarily recruited people would all belong to him Cao Cao, those people were all soldiers for the sake of eating, whoever gave them food, he would contribute to whomever he could, they were all simple-minded and lovely crop men;
"Hey, hey!" , Cao Cao sneered and waved his hand, "Huh! A human head rose to the sky, fell to the ground with a snap, and rolled down in front of the young man at Xiahoudun's feet; The headless body staggered and fell, "Ah——! The panicked voice screamed, and they realized that they had been deceived!
"General Cao! Didn't you say to keep us safe? The young man cried and asked bitterly;
"Excuse me! We don't need an uncle here! Slaughtered! Cao Cao walked towards the barracks with his hands behind his back, Dian Wei behind him followed him like a black tower, and the cry behind him sounded as if he hadn't heard it at all;
More than 200 people who had no weapons were slaughtered by Xiahoudun slaughtering pigs and dogs, and more than 300 people of the Huang family were captured, both old and weak, women and children were beheaded, including the Huang general who replaced Dian Wei with ten horses;
The landlords of the wealthy clan in Chen Liucheng were frightened for a while, and they did not dare to have any objections to Cao Cao's entry into Chen Liu! They immediately dedicated all the troops they had mastered to Cao Cao, and withdrew all the people who were placed in it, opening the door for Cao Cao to master the army.
Just when the Zhang brothers were still hangover, Cao Cao completely mastered the power of the army with thunderous means, and there was no need to worry about the changes at all, and there was no need to think of any strategies to perfunctory the Zhang brothers, and then seize the military power!
