Chapter 241: Land Annexation

The end of the war meant that the Bingzhou army needed to recuperate for a period of time, and on the question of who was stationed in Hanzhong, LΓΌ Bu and the strategists reached a unified opinion, that is, to change the original Wudu Taishou Wei Yan to Hanzhong Taishou, let him be the governor of Hanzhong's military and political power, and let Fa Zheng and Yan Pu be his deputies to take care of Hanzhong's government affairs for him. Wei Yan's transfer to Hanzhong means that Wu Du chose a new Taishou, after discussing with Jia Xu, Lu Bu decided to enable Zhao Ang and let him be the Taishou of Wudu, Xu Shu deputy, although Zhao Ang's ability is limited, but with the assistance of Xu Shu and his wife, I believe there will be no big problem.

In the end, in the arrangement of Zhang Lu, the state army was divided into two factions, one faction advocated killing Zhang Lu to prevent future troubles, the reason is that Zhang Lu has two identities, in addition to the Taishou of Hanzhong, he is also the heavenly master of the Wudou Mi Sect, if you don't kill Zhang Lu, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble in the future, after all, where is Zhang Liang's example, just imagine, if one day Lu Bu is out on an expedition, Zhang Lu suddenly leads the crowd to attack, it will form a fatal blow to Lu Bu; One faction advocated not killing Zhang Lu and exiled him to other counties, on the grounds that Zhang Lu was the Heavenly Master of the Wudoumi Sect and had great prestige in Hanzhong and Bashu, and if Zhang Lu was killed, he would lose the popular support of the people in Hanzhong.

Based on these two statements, Lu Bu was hesitant about whether to kill Zhang Lu or not, and he always couldn't make up his mind, and finally he found Jia Xu and asked him to think about how to solve Zhang Lu's problem, Jia Xu only said one sentence: If Zhang Lu kills many of your sons and cousins, what will you do? Lu Bu suddenly understood, so Zhang Lu died, I heard that he was self-immolated at home, and his sons and wives and concubines died with him, that is, the Zhang family in Hanzhong. Completely disappeared from the whole world.

Zhang Lu's death immediately caused an uproar in Hanzhong, and many believers thought that it was Lu Bu who killed Zhang Lu, so they gathered people as thieves and rebelled, for these rebels with sickles and hoes. Lu Bu did not have any pity, the four armies suppressed together, only to kill the rebels retreated again and again, and finally was annihilated by Wei Yan in one fell swoop in the Wuxiang area, this rebellion launched by the Wudou Mi Sect, from the beginning of August to the end of mid-August, only existed for less than half a month, for those captured believers, Lu Bu waved his hand: no one remained. Wei Yan obeyed LΓΌ Bu's order and escorted 15,000 disciples of the Five Doumi Sect to the edge of the Han River, and all of them were decapitated and thrown into the river.

After settling the matter of the rebellion of the Wudou Mijiao, LΓΌ Bu sent people to rush back to Longxian County, borrowed more than a dozen officials from Zheng Ming, and began to implement the Tuntian system in Hanzhong.

In terms of the appointment of official positions, Yan Pu and Fa Zheng first went to the county and township in plainclothes to picket. The ancestors of the officials in each county have been investigated clearly, and those are for the people. Those things killed were all written into a report and handed over to Lu Bu, looking at the long list of names, Lu Bu immediately made a decision and immediately asked Fa Zheng to arrest those evil officials, the circumstances were serious. The head was cut off directly, and if the circumstances were minor, the assassination was sent to exile to other states and counties. As for the control of those vacancies, the big families in Hanzhong have sent young talents from the clan to take up posts, such as the Yang family, the Yan family and some of their small gate lords who are attached to the two families.

As for the military. Lu Bu did not let Yan Xing return to Qiangjing, but asked him to lead 30,000 troops and station them in the area of Jiameng Pass, and he did not let Gan Ning and Zhou Tai return to Jincheng, so that they could lead 20,000 troops to be stationed in the area of Baishui Pass, because it would not be long before Lu Bu would use troops against Xichuan, and after Lu Bu captured Xichuan, he would form a navy to prepare for a rainy day in Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the future.

Gan Ning stayed in Hanzhong, Jincheng's Taishou was vacant, this important position naturally fell to Huang Zhong, although Huang Zhong Lu Bu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, in addition to the generals of the imperial court, there are no other substantive official positions, so this time Lu Bu first thought of him, after completing these series of things, the time is already late September, Lu Bu is not delaying, with his big hand, 50,000 troops returned to Shilong County.

"Mr. Jia, what's going on with the Jiang family?" On the galloping road of Chen Cang, the camp had just been settled, Jiang Xu saw Jia Xu walking alone, he hurriedly and impatiently greeted him, this way, he frowned and worried all the time, and a deep Sichuan character had formed on his forehead.

Jia Xu calmly pressed him back on the felt carpet: "I don't know what the situation is at this time, but those things in Longxian County are more or less related to your Jiang family!" ”

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xu frowned, when the Jiang family and the Huang family got married, Huang Zhong had already talked about this situation, he was worried that after the marriage of the two families, the Jiang family would rely on this relationship to do something out of the ordinary, sure enough, it was only a few months later, and those people in the Jiang family couldn't bear it.

"Sir, don't hide it with me, I've already learned some information, is it true that the Jiang family has done something out of the ordinary?" Jiang Xu's expression was very angry, now he didn't know how many people were poking his backbone, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and in his anger, there was a trace of fear, he didn't know what Lu Bu would do to the Jiang family.

Jia Xu coughed lightly, as if he was soothing an angry child: "In the information sent by Cheng Yu, it was mentioned that the Jiang family took advantage of the absence of the lord to annex some people's land, and the local officials were forced to report it, and those people who were going to go to Longxian County to complain were also intercepted and killed by them. ”

When Jiang Xu heard this, his face instantly became extremely pale, his eyebrows were raised, his tiger eyes were wide open, and he looked at Jia Xu in a daze, his heart was angry and frightened, he was angry and frightened, he was angry that the Jiang family actually did such a thing, and he was horrified that he didn't know how Lu Bu would treat the Jiang family.

Since ancient times, the harm caused by land annexation is very serious, it will directly lead to the loss of a large number of homesteaders, followed by the deterioration of the tax economy, which will lead to the intensification of class contradictions.

"General, the Jiang family has made a big mistake, how can the main guild deal with the Jiang family?" Jiang Xu asked eagerly.

Jia Xu's eyes suddenly became extremely stern, like a sharp needle poking out of a ball of cotton: "I can't say, but since ancient times, the family that has annexed the land will not end well, the Jiang family has committed a capital crime, Miss Die'er and your mother have been taken to Longxian by Cheng Yu, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Jiang Xu had never seen Jia Xu show such a look, and it could be seen that the Jiang family's mistakes were indeed not small, and they swallowed back all the words full of pleading, and the old Jia Xu seemed to be ten years younger, his wrinkles stretched out, and the layer of sickness and weakness floating on his face was like a strong wind suddenly blowing away, revealing a sharp and stern face.

"Bo Yi, the lord is very optimistic about you, don't worry about this matter!" Jia Xu said word by word.

"Then what should I do," Jiang Xu took a few steps back in despair.

Jia Xu's toughness was fleeting, and he turned back to his old and sick state, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, but you don't have to worry too much, there are many ways to solve it!" ”

Jiang Xu's spirit was shocked, and he looked up at Jia Xu, with a hint of hope in his eyes: "Mr. teach me!" ”

Jia Xu's cloudy eyes quickly turned twice, and his voice was hoarse and low, almost inaudible: "Change the head of the family, or separate the Jiang family, do you know what I mean?" ”

The Jiang family is basically instructed by the head of the Jiang family, as long as the Jiang family changes the head of the family, maybe there is room for maneuver in this matter, provided that the Jiang family must be responsible for this matter, those annexed lands must be returned, and those people killed by the Jiang family must give their families a generous consolation money, that is to say, the clan of the head of the Jiang family must stand up as scapegoats, otherwise disaster will befall the entire Jiang family.

Jiang Xu understood what Jia Xu meant, he arched his hands, his eyes looked at the sky, and between his mature eyebrows, there was a wonderful emotion: "I understand, thank you, sir, I will do this immediately after I go back!" ”

Jia Xu wrapped the big fur on his body, and said with a smile: "Bo Yi, you only have one month, if you don't hand over people after a month, it will be the entire Jiang family who will suffer at that time, I hope you can understand, you don't resent the lord, the reason why the lord did this, this also takes into account your situation, otherwise you won't give you a month to deal with this matter."

Jiang Xu listened to him say it lightly, but he knew how difficult it was for Lu Bu, what the Jiang family had done had threatened Lu Bu's rule, and it was a blessing in misfortune that he did not exterminate the clan, Jiang Xu coughed a few times, and said thank you gratefully, sir.

Jia Xu said lightly: "If you want to thank you, thank the lord, I told you about this matter, it was specially arranged by the lord, otherwise I would not have time to patrol your camp, as for what to do in this matter, you can watch it yourself, this day is also strangely cold, I will leave first!" ”

Jiang Xu looked at Jia Xu's back, full of suspicion, he first smiled bitterly, and then quickly found Yang Fu and discussed with him: "Yishan, I have to go back to Jicheng in advance, and the tiger and leopard battalion has you in command!" ”

Yang Fu glanced at Jiang Xu: "What's wrong?" Why the urgency? ”

Jiang Xu had already jumped on the war horse at this time, and when he heard Yang Fu ask, he said without looking back: "The head of the family annexed the people's land, and the lord only gave me a month to deal with this matter, so I have to rush back first, you tell Boyo and let him go back to Longxian directly, Die'er and his mother may be in the lord's mansion at this time, please here!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Fu to answer, and galloped away with a slip of dust. (To be continued......)
