(Ask for a recommendation ticket, beg for it, thank you ゙╮ If you are well, it will be a mooncake on a sunny day!) ）

Three days later, Duan Cheng, who had no idea, summoned the county (order) magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants to the eldest son city as scheduled, including the county lieutenant Yang Chou.

The Eastern Han Dynasty implemented the county system, which theoretically could be called a county with a population of one million and a radius of 100 miles. The counties are large and small, the counties of the Eastern Han Dynasty are passed from the Western Han Dynasty, and the population is different, such as Runan County, Nanyang County, and Yingchuan County are all well-known large counties, with a population of more than two million, like Shuofang County, Yunzhong County and other places have long been abandoned, and the registered population is only a few thousand people.

Counties are also divided into large and small, with more than 10,000 households being large counties, and the county keepers being called county magistrates, and those with less than 10,000 households being small counties, and the county keepers being called county magistrates. The duties of the chief are to take charge of the law and order of a county, criminal proceedings, and the conferencing of forced labor. Order, under the chief set up a chief, to the chief clerk, storehouse and prison. There is also a lieutenant in charge of military affairs, and a left lieutenant and a right lieutenant in large counties. Cheng, the rank of Wei is 200 stone to 400 stone, and there is a court to supervise the township. The county also set up more than a dozen Cao's Peng and Shi to take charge of many specific affairs in the county.

Shangdang County nominally has thirteen counties, but after the Yellow Turban impact and bandits, only six counties were governed by officials at this time, and the other counties had long been reduced to political blank areas, either occupied by bandits or entrenched by powerful people. Even if there is a county order to guard it, it is in danger, and the defenders are seriously insufficient, and even the Shangdang Zhichang Zicheng is only more than 1,000 people to guard it, otherwise Zhang Yangyan in history can capture Shangdang County with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses?

Ma Chao sat on the top of the yamen court, squinted his eyes and glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "This general is ordered to beg for thieves, soldiers are stationed in the party, and the money and food needed by the Son of Heaven are collected from the local government." This will be a rough estimate, it will take 50 million dollars, 300,000 grains and grass, and Duan Taishou will be raised within three days! ”

"Impossible!" Duan Cheng's old face turned red, and he said angrily: "Fifty million dollars and three hundred thousand grains and grass? Why don't you grab it? Shangdang County's annual taxes can't reach this amount, and General Ma is obviously embarrassed! ”

Ma Chao sneered: "Dare to ask Duan Taishou, how long have you been in the party?" How much is it? ”

Duan Cheng replied: "Ben Taishou has a rank ratio of two thousand stones, and he has been holding this position since the Yellow Turban!" ”

Ma Chao said: "It's 5,000 yuan per month and 34 meters for 2,000 stones, and you are only 180,000 yuan for three years, 1,200 yuan." But I will see that you have built the Duan Mansion comparable to the Luoyang Palace, but I don't know why? ”

Duan Cheng said disdainfully: "Ben Tai Shouyan can build such a mansion? This house was built by Duan Wei, a regular servant of my brothers, and he was just a guard! How? Could it be that General Feima still dares to take care of my cousin's affairs? ”

Ma Chao laughed and said, "What are the eunuchs afraid of? I am a concubine of the imperial court, and the official is more than the third duke's general Wei, how can I be afraid of a mere eunuch? As he spoke, he suddenly shouted: "Dian Wei listens to the order!" ”

"Mo will be!"

"The party is too corrupt and perverts the law, looting the people's fat and ointment to build a mansion comparable to the palace, disrespecting the general, refusing to send grain and grass to delay the military situation, and colluding with the Montenegrin thieves to be annihilated, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, his family should be beheaded, his family members will be distributed to the border, and the family wealth will be confiscated. Ben will order you to immediately bring people to surround Duan Mansion, and if anyone who resists is guilty of the same crime, he will be killed! ”

"The last general commands!" Dian Wei knew about this earlier, and three hundred personal soldiers were ready to standby.

Duan Cheng was shocked, and shouted with disbelief on his face: "I am too guarded for one party, you dare to use lynching with blood!" This house is also Duan Changshou's pension house, do you want to rebel? ”

"Rebellion? It's your Duan family who wants to rebel! Didn't you know about the conspiration between you and the Black Mountain thieves Zheng Gu and Yang Feng to rob the rich families of the prominent families in the county? It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, Zheng Gu and Yang Feng have been recruited by the general, and they have already confessed to you! Don't say that Duan Wei's eunuch party, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't keep your surname! Then he shouted, "Someone! Pull Duan Cheng to the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public, announce his crime, and behead him at noon! ”

The two pro-soldiers waited for a long time, and after receiving the order, they trapped Duan Cheng firmly, stuffed a piece of linen in their mouths and pulled it out to show the public. At the same time, there was also an official document with the seal of General Wei, on which was "Crime! "Naturally, it's all made up by Ma Chao, anyway, there is no proof of death, so you can use Zheng Gu and Yang Feng to make a fuss.

Ma Chao had already found out that the Ten Standing Servants had been a disaster for the world for decades, and they had already been rich, not only building mansions in Luoyang, but also sending most of their belongings back to their hometown to meet their needs. Getting rid of Duan Cheng can give him complete control over Shangdang County, and secondly, it is also to collect Duan Wei's stolen goods for his own use.

As for offending Duan Wei, he can't care so much, Ma Chao has no intention of going back since he walked out of Luoyang, Emperor Ling is not dead, and it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to show up if he does not enter Beijing. No matter how much Liu Hong favors the Ten Standing Servants, it is impossible for him to listen to Duan Wei's words and punish him with heavy troops, because his usable value in Liu Hong's eyes is far greater than that of Duan Wei.

Ma Chao suddenly attacked, beyond everyone's expectations, the county officials only trembled with fright, and the county lieutenant Yang Chou also turned pale. Although he has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city, it is difficult to protect himself at this time, and it is a matter of one sentence for Ma Chao to kill him.

Ma Chao doesn't intend to embarrass these officials, who will govern the place after they have all been killed? You have to leave a part of the team for Wenpin. At the moment, he said: "You and others are all Han officials, this will only punish the first evil, and will never embarrass you, this matter will be personally explained to the Son of Heaven, before the new Taishou takes office, Sima Wen of other departments under the command of this general will temporarily take over the post of the party Taishou, and you must fully cooperate!" ”

More than 20 people even claimed that it was, and Yang Chou suddenly stood up and said: "General Qiyu, there will be something important to report at the end!" ”

Ma Chao also knows a little about this Yang Chou, and the historical Yang Chou later defected to Zhang Yang. During the fierce war between Cao Ying and Lü Bu, Zhang Yang wanted to send troops to aid Lü Bu. Cao Ying has been coveting Zhang Yang's Hanoi County for a long time, and has already secretly said that Yang Chou has been surrendered, so Yang Chou suddenly made a difficult move to kill Zhang Yang, and was about to take Zhang Yang's head to ask for credit, but he didn't go far before Zhang Yang's subordinate Su Gu chased and killed.

"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"

Yang Chou said: "Duan Cheng relied on the power of his cousin Duan Wei for many years, in the early years, he served as Cao Rafter, plotting to kill Wang Taishou, and the last general once led someone to help him build a secret room in his ancestral house, the general might as well take a look for himself!" ”

"There is such a thing, I was about to take a look!" Ma Chao was overjoyed, it seems that this achievement is a big fish, if he can seize a batch of money and grain to survive the current money and grain crisis, it can save a lot of trouble.

The shouting of killing shook the sky, after all, Duanfu was just a mansion, not a family Wu Fort. Dian Wei led 300 people to attack in less than a cup of tea, and Zhang Liao led 1,000 Shenwei battalion soldiers to surround this area and guard against rebellion by the officers and soldiers defending the city at any time.

In a short time, most of the more than 200 nursing homes in the Duan Mansion were slaughtered, and the rest knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the entire Duan Mansion was completely under the control of Dian Wei.

Ma Chao did not intend to destroy the door, and the male and his family members were all sent to the Southern Xiongnu Tuntian. It happened that the Eastern Han Dynasty implemented the system of criminals and prisoners, and those who committed crimes but did not die or were exempted from capital crimes were sent to the Southern Xiongnu as border people, and those who had wives could follow, the purpose of which was to increase the border population.

After counting, there are more than 200 people in the Duan family, young and old, Duan Chengguang's wives and concubines are more than a dozen, and the servants and servants are not counted. A few large grain hoards in the backyard hoarded hundreds of thousands of grains and grass, but there was not much gold and silver.

However, under Yang Chou's guidance, the sergeants dug up a rockery in the backyard very openly, and in less than an hour, they dug up twenty thick wooden boxes the size of coffins. When I opened it, it was all gold, silver, jewelry, and five baht coins, and the total amount was almost catching up with the savings of several generations of the Southern Xiongnu royal court.

Ma Chao is overjoyed, this period is really rich, this is only a part, there must be more hoarding in the Luoyang mansion, but unfortunately those can only be cheaper for Dong Zhuo. And this big mansion is also unusual, it may be an exaggeration to say that it is comparable to the imperial palace, and the size is certainly not as good as the imperial palace, but the local decoration is only strong and not weak, and there are hundreds of houses.

Of course, now that this mansion is surnamed Ma, not only does he live in it, but even the families of Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Li Yan, and Dian Wei can also live in it. Except for a few maidservants and cooks and other necessary household members, the rest of the Duan family were all imprisoned and prepared to be sent to the Southern Xiongnu Tuntian, where the men worked as coolies and the women could do handicrafts.

At this time, Ma Wei shocked Yang Chou and the county officials, and immediately expressed his full support, and immediately raised grain, grass and military funds when he went back. Ma Chao used both grace and power, and also gave Duan Cheng more than a dozen beautiful concubines to them, among which Yang Chouli was rewarded with 5 baht and 100,000 yuan for his great merit, and the soldiers of the Shenwei battalion and 300 personal soldiers were also rewarded with 5,000 each.

The next day, Wen Ping took office to sort out the internal affairs, and inquired about the population situation and the situation of the bandit branches in each county one by one. After Zhang Liao incorporated Yang Chou's officers and soldiers defending the city, he escorted a batch of money and grain to Huguan to support Huang Zhong. Li Yan was busy calculating what was needed everywhere, whether it was materials and money. The busiest is Ma Chao, while explaining Duan Cheng's "rebellion" to the Son of Heaven, he is busy recruiting An Weigu and Yang Feng, and reporting the "distribution" of the Black Mountain thieves to the Southern Xiongnu grassland.

After five days, Su Gu and Yang Feng arrived as promised, but the two did not bring the people here, but only brought a middle-aged man. When I asked, I found out that it was a black mountain thief, and another thief was handsome Tao Sheng.

It turned out that when the two of them went back, they began to mobilize those displaced people, and the news quickly spread in Taihang Mountain. The attitudes of the people are different, some are willing to go, and some are difficult to leave their homeland, and would rather steal life in the valley than go to the land of the Southern Xiongnu. When Tao Sheng heard the news, he immediately found the two of them, and saw that the two of them were named miscellaneous generals, and he had the heart of being recruited.

Zheng Gu and Yang Feng didn't dare to call the shots, and the public opinion was not unified, so they came to ask for instructions, and Tao Sheng also wanted to meet the famous champion Hou, so he also followed.

Ma Chao asked and found that this Tao Sheng's strength was similar to that of the two of them, and he was extremely kind-hearted, and he simply loved the people like a son. He vaguely remembered that Tao Sheng seemed to defect to Yuan Shao in the end, and the official was able to die a good death, and the ending was much better than that of Zheng Gu, Yang Feng, and Yu Poison.

After thinking about it, Ma Chao happily agreed to Tao Sheng's request for recruitment, and personally agreed to the position of General Huhan, and Tao Sheng also changed from "Tao Pinghan" to "Tao Huhan". After carefully inquiring about Fang Zhi's reluctance to go to the Southern Xiongnu, some small leaders were instigating, and some people were used to looting, and the grain was easy to come by, so naturally they would not run out of the coolie tuntian.
