Jizhou was originally the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had failed for several years, Taiping Dao was still similar to Zhang Jiao in the minds of ordinary people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The Taiping Dao came forward to organize the people to harvest the autumn grain, coupled with the temptation to distribute the land, things went very smoothly. Seeing that the wheat fields outside the city were being harvested, those who were still stubbornly resisting in the city were anxious. The grain has been harvested, what will be eaten in the future? Even if there is surplus food, can you survive for a while, but the land is divided, can you still get it back?

In order to prevent those people from surrendering prematurely and affecting the progress of land redistribution, Liu Xiu specially concealed the news of Yuan Shao's death in battle. If Yuan Shao does not die, those who are attached to Yuan Shao will not die, and they will hope that Yuan Shao will turn defeat into victory, and in the future they can regain everything that was taken away today, so that they will have the confidence to continue to defend in the city and not go out of the city to fight hard.

When people are not desperate, they will not be desperate, not to mention that there are Han troops outside the city, just waiting for them to go out of the city to grab food, so as to cut off their heads and make meritorious contributions. Yuan Shao lost 80,000 Jing Rui in Yanzhou last year, and now most of the guards in these counties have just been recruited, and the number is not much, and the combat quality cannot be compared with those Jing Rui who have survived a hundred battles.

The people outside the city were busy and excited, and the defenders in the city gritted their teeth and were unwilling, but they were unwilling and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, this strange scene lasted for nearly a month, except for a few county towns that could not resist the torment in their hearts. Kaesong surrendered, and a very small number of county towns went out of the city to fight, but they were met by the Han soldiers who were gearing up and suffered heavy losses, and most of the county towns remained silent.

When all the dust settles, the grain particles are returned to the warehouse, and the land is basically distributed. Liu Xiu finally began to release the news to the counties: Yuan Shao has died in battle, whether you surrender or not, give a word. Otherwise, I'll storm it. You know the consequences of the siege, and you are willing to learn and judge, I have no opinion. If you are willing to learn from Tian Feng and Fu Tuo, I also welcome it.

The small counties that were not well defended collapsed, and within a few days, more than half of the counties surrendered.

The gall Tao did not collapse, so Liu Xiu besieged the city, and according to the custom, sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender before the siege.

It was Gao Lan who opened up a formation under the city to prepare for the siege of the city, and it was the frustrated Hu who entered the city to persuade him to surrender. The Fu family is in Guangping County, Julu County, not far from Gauntao. When he was working in the Taishou Mansion, he had dealings with many people, and as his eldest son, he was also well-known to everyone.

In the face of Liu Xiu's almost threatening persuasion. Thinking of the torment of the previous month, almost all of them hated it. Someone questioned the frustrated hu, "If we surrender, can we still take back our land?" ”

Frustrated Hu spread his hands and said very sincerely: "Obviously impossible, even if the general is willing." Nor could the people be willing. If you don't want to spit out what you eat in your mouth, will they? You must know that if you lose the land, you will not die, at most you will be poor, but if the people lose the land, it will be death, and you should clearly distinguish which is more important. ”

Someone was furious: "Then what are we going to do if we surrender, fight to the death!" ”

Frustrated Hu shook his head: "You can't fight to the death, only one death." Facing the other party's sneer, he stretched out his hand and pointed outside the city: "Now there are 50,000 Jing Rui of the Great General outside the city, nearly 60,000 Yellow Turban Army, and behind them, there are nearly a million people who want to protect the land in their hands, what chance do you think you have?" ”

The man was silent for a long time, and said hatefully: "The gall Tao City is strong and Chi Jian, it's not so easy to fight. ”

Frustrated Hu shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Then you will guard slowly, the general has time." The general wants to implement a new policy in Jizhou, and convene the powerful people in various counties to discuss major matters, there are too many people, and the general is busy bargaining with them, and he can't take care of the gall Taocheng for a while, you can rest assured. However, ......" frustrated Hu changed his words and said with a narrow smile: "I still want to remind you, who made my father and you old friends." When all the industrial and commercial benefits of Jizhou are distributed, if you want to add it to get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Of course, you can wait for Yuan Tan to defeat the general, recover Jizhou, and then seize the world, and then you can make a hundredfold profit from today's efforts. Hahaha......"

Frustrated Hu laughed very happily, very presumptuous, those people listened, one by one was silent, one of them was so laughed by Frustrated Hu that he couldn't hold back, pulled out the ring knife, and shouted: "The vertical son is bold, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of the gall pottery city, and you can't see how your frustrated family can enjoy the grace of the general?" ”

Frustrated Hu sneered: "Since I dare to come, I am not afraid of your use of force." I think I should have died when I lost the Flying Fox Road. If you can't ride for Yuan Che and die, then die for the general, it's not in vain. It's just that I was wronged by the gentlemen to accompany my little son to the funeral, and I really didn't want to go. ”

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed the impulsive brother. After killing Fu Hu, how can I meet with Fu Zhu in the future, and then give Liu Xiu an excuse to kill, it's really not worth it.

After careful weighing, everyone agreed that since Yuan Shao was dead, it was impossible for Yuan Tan to turn defeat into victory, rather than stubbornly resisting to the end and finally losing his life, it was better to surrender now. As Frustrated Hu said, the land was divided by Liu Xiu, but after all, there is still family property, and you can also get a share of the profits of industry and commerce, no matter what, it is better than having nothing in the end.

However, their losses are too great, and they must be compensated by Liu Xiu. In the face of these gentlemen who are like mourning and examining their concubines, Frustrated Hu secretly sighed, the general is right, the virtuous have to be, in the final analysis, everyone is still looking for interests, following Yuan Shao is for interests, following him is also for interests, only when you get benefits, can you consider the so-called morality. What is this called, interests are the foundation, morality is the superstructure, and morality without interests is a castle in the air?

Frustrated Hu led the strong representatives of the city out of the city to negotiate with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was a little unhappy, in front of the representatives, reprimanded Frustrated Hu, to the effect that he was not effective, he would fight, and he would surrender, I didn't want to talk to them about anything or something, and now there are too many people who want to sign a contract to cope with it, so why bring the people in the city of Gall Tao over to join in the fun?

Frustrated Hu was very ashamed, the representative was speechless, and the original intention of bargaining with Liu Xiu suddenly faded a little. After Liu Xiu made a little concession symbolizing Xing, Gall Taocheng opened the door and surrendered.

At the beginning of September, Li Ru rushed to the gall Tao, and as soon as he saw Liu Xiu, Li Ru stepped forward to congratulate him. It took less than two months for Liu Xiu to almost solve the war in Jizhou from sending troops, and now there is only one lonely city left in Yecheng, which is really incredible.

"It's nothing, the general trend is a matter of course, and if you change someone, you can do it." Liu Xiu said calmly: "You did a good job in Yizhou. However, the matter of Yizhou is not difficult, I can't show your ability, let you come to Jizhou, although it is a flat tone, some grievances have wronged you, but I hope you can do it happily. ”

Li Ru laughed and shook his head again and again: "King, as you said, Yizhou has today, in fact, it has nothing to do with me, first there is the foundation laid by the king, and then the eldest princess and Yan Gong preside over major affairs, and Wang Yun and others help, I am just a white man, at most I quarrel with the court, it is really not interesting." Jizhou is good, Jizhou people have always been conceited, and there is the wind of Yan Zhao, I was excited at the thought of competing with so many soldiers, so as soon as I received the order, I rushed to the night and night. ”

Liu Xiu snorted, it seems that the aggressive person is not only Gan Ning, this Li Ru is also a combatant.

"Then I'm relieved. Yecheng has not yet been conquered, so you can treat the gall Tao as a state for the time being. First meet with the county Taishou to find out about their situation, I have collected some information, you can take a look. However, most of these information are provided by Jizhou people, and I am not very confident in how accurate they are. I've been working with them for more than ten days, and their eyes are red now, so be careful not to be intimidated by their enthusiasm. ”

Li Ru laughed: "Don't worry, the king, I will definitely live up to the king's expectations." "As he said, he's scrappy now. That time he took the initiative to ask Ying to do the Yizhou Thorn History, in fact, he just wanted to give it a go, in Yizhou for a few years, what he could actually do was very limited, not that he couldn't do it, it was that he didn't want Liu Xiu's people to feel his threat, the eldest princess and Yan Zhong presided over the overall situation, and Wang Yun, Zhang Chao and others did the actual work, and he, the Yizhou Thorn History, couldn't play much role in the middle. He has been waiting, waiting for Liu Xiu to confirm his loyalty, and now, Liu Xiu transferred him to Jizhou to serve as the assassin, which is the result he has been looking forward to for many years.

There is a place to use, not to mention a flat tone, or a demotion, he is very happy. What's more, Jizhou is a Xiongzhou in the world, which is enough to be on a par with Yizhou. To a certain extent, the location of Jizhou is more important than Yizhou, and in the future, Jizhou will bear the brunt of the logistics base for the use of troops in northern Xinjiang.

Li Ru was very excited, but Yuan Tan and the others in Yecheng were very worried. They originally thought that Liu Xiu would rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, either attack the city or negotiate with them, but the development of things was much beyond their expectations, Liu Xiu seemed to have forgotten Yecheng, and wholeheartedly divided the land in Jizhou and implemented the new policy, as if Yecheng was not the county of Jizhou, and they even had an illusion, Yecheng was still the boundary of Jizhou, why did Liu Xiu seem to have pacified the entire Jizhou?

The feeling of being forgotten is really not very good, and Yuan Tan and the others are very depressed. But it is only the non-Jizhou people who are depressed, but those Jizhou natives are not depressed, but anxious. Because they received the news that their land outside the city had been divided, and their possessions outside the city had been divided, and even some of the wives and concubines who had remained in their hometowns had become official slaves, or were about to become official slaves.

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
