Chapter Ninety-One: It's All Paper Tigers

Gao Yuan left the Wang family fortress, and when he went down the mountain, he asked, "Zhongda, what do you think will happen to this Wang Ze?" ”

Sima Yi had already had a plan, and said: "My lord, looking at Wang Ze's appearance, he will definitely not give up." Beware of colluding with other opposing families, if it attracts Yuan Benchu or Cao Mengde, it will become internal and external troubles. ”

Gao Yuan nodded when he heard this, he wanted to do something to the Bingzhou Shi clan, of course he had first-hand information. This royal family has 5,000 soldiers, and the total number of soldiers from all over the country is more than 10,000. This force is even more numerically than his military strength.

This is the reason why the scholars were able to change the dynasty.

He immediately ordered Zhang Liao to arrange the work carefully and place it in various key roads.

Sure enough, when Gao Yuan returned to the Jinyang County Mansion, the news came.

"My lord, I have captured many messengers of the Wang family!" Zhang Liao presented the letter.

Gao Yuan opened it to look at it, and while admiring Sima Yi's resourcefulness, his face was also gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "The Wang family colluded with other families to have internal strife, and asked for help from outside Yuan Benchu to join the state. ”

Sima Yi secretly said that it was not good, and said: "My lord, just the Wang family has 5,000 soldiers and the power of the fortress, so it is difficult to get down. If Yuan Benchu comes again, Cao Mengde may also make a move, and our army is in danger. ”

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and the others' faces changed, this is something with a high probability of happening. If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao really attacked, Gao Yuan would not be able to take down the internal chaos of the scholars for a while, and he would be defeated and invincible on three sides.

Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "Lord, in this matter, maybe you are in a bit of a hurry. ”

Gao Yuan didn't move, and asked, "Zhongda, what can you do to resolve it?" ”

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Suspend land reform and divide and win over." ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, in some aspects, he is not as much as Sima Yi, but in some aspects, he sees more thoroughly than Sima Yi, "Wang Ze, these people are just paper tigers." ”

"Paper Tiger!" Everyone looked at each other, of course they knew what the paper tiger meant, but they couldn't believe it.

Sima Yi exclaimed: "My lord, the scholar clan who holds the authority of the world will be a paper tiger?" ”

Gao Yuan glanced at him, it seemed that Sima Yi had begun to separate himself from the Shi clan, which made him admire Sima Yi very much. When Gao Yuan began to implement land reform, he no longer had to worry about who would seek to usurp the throne. "In the face of the power of the people, everything is a paper tiger."

When Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the others were still puzzled, Sima Yi understood something, and he was already looking forward to seeing Gao Yuan use this power. Sima Yi reminded: "My lord, if you want to continue the land reform, you need to quickly eliminate the Wang family, so that you can deter all opponents. Can we quickly eliminate the Wang family? ”

Although Sima Yi was very much looking forward to seeing Gao Yuan use the power of the people, he still had a lot of doubts.

In many cases, the oppressors of the people ignore the power of the people, which comes from their deep-rooted class concepts and their lifelong exaltation. They believe that the people are born to obey them, and even Sima Yi is no exception to serve them.

Gao Yuan got up, and everyone hurriedly got up, only to hear him say: "Pass my order and inform the people of the royal family's land that the Wang family refuses to carry out the land reform of the governor and resists stubbornly. The Governor will crusade against the royal family and will need their support. ”

"Whoa!" The people took the command and departed.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuan mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses and came to the Wangjia fortress again, which was already all his mobile forces in Bingzhou.

This time, the royal fortress was heavily guarded. This royal fortress is very large, giving Gao Yuan a feeling of siege.

"Lord, don't you see any movement from the people around you?" Zhao Yun was very worried, seeing that the outer wall of the Wang's fortress was still three feet high, and there were 5,000 soldiers inside, if he forcibly attacked, the 2,000 people on his side might not be able to attack it.

This is also what Sima Yi is worried about, if he can't quickly take down a scholar clan like the Wang family, under the collusion between inside and outside, with the intervention of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's forces, Gaoyuan's forces will be in danger of collapsing.

However, in a moment, there was a commotion all around.

When everyone looked up, they saw a large number of people carrying hoes, wooden shovels and other agricultural tools, overwhelmingly coming from all over the world.

For the people under Gao Yuan's rule, land reform was undoubtedly a fantasy, and everyone was skeptical. However, when Gao Yuan really began to implement it, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Wang family, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. When the news came, Gao Yuan won the hearts of all the poor people. There is no doubt that land reform will win the support of the people, as it has been proven countless times.

For the poor people, Gao Yuan is their savior, their great savior, and their sun. They will unreservedly support Gao Yuan, and whoever opposes him will be destroyed by the people.

More than 10,000 people came, all tenants from the royal family's land, except for women and children. As time passed, more people from other places arrived.

"The tiller has his field! Everyone should have his own land. Gao Yuan said the most popular political program of this era, which does not conflict with his hegemony. Obviously, the land is not taxed in the hands of the scholars, but in the hands of the people, it can allow Gao Yuan to obtain tax income.

"The tiller has his field!" The voices of the people resounded in the sky.

"Long live General Gao!" The cries of the people rushed into the sky.

Gao Yuan led tens of thousands of people to the front of the royal fortress. Thousands of soldiers in the fortress were terrified in the face of the endless sea of people.

Wang Ze was also trembling in his heart, but he still insisted on saying: "Gao Mengyan, you forcibly confiscate our land, you are fighting against the scholars of the whole world and the imperial court." ”

However, even if Gao Yuan didn't do it right, Yuan Shao, who was supported by the Shi clan, and Cao Cao, who controlled the imperial court, still wanted to eliminate him.

What's the matter with the scholars, there are more people from poor families in the world. Guo Jia, Xu Shu and even Zhuge Liang are all poor people, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, these generals are not even cold people, just ordinary people.

Sima Yi felt that he had seen the power of the people, and this greeting was that tens of thousands of people gathered, which was very human, but he was still very worried, and said: "Lord, if the people lose too much, it will be detrimental to the future." ”

Gao Yuan laughed and said, "There will be no loss." So, with a wave of his hand, he found a few respected old men and gave them an order.

What happened next greatly exceeded the expectations of Sima Yi and the others, and they finally knew what the power of the people was. I finally knew why Gao Yuan said that all scholars were paper tigers.
