100,000 troops knocked on the gate of Tianshui City, the defenders of Tianshui City surrendered without a fight, the Sichuan army entered Tianshui, Liu Zhang issued an order, all the wealthy families in Tianshui County, immediately send people to meet them, otherwise the counties will be washed in blood.

Unless they are willing to give up their ancestral land and escape, the Sichuan barbarians will start killing, and they will have to be wiped out, and the Jiang family and other wealthy families have to go to Tianshui to visit Liu Zhang.

In the eyes of the world, Liu Zhang's biggest impression is cruelty, but his faith is outstanding, and what he said still counts, and the wealthy bigwigs believe that Liu Zhang will not detain him in Tianshui City.

The wealthy families came one after another, but Liu Zhang did not meet them immediately, and the patriarchs and elders of the wealthy families were in a panic all day long.

"Ma Teng is dead?" Liu Zhang asked Fa Zheng in surprise, Hanzhong and Xiqiang transmitted information, only saying that Tielong Pass was a big victory, but did not say that Ma Teng was killed, Liu Zhang was also taken aback when he heard the news.

"Did our men kill it?"

Fa Zheng shook his head: "It is said to be Han Sui." ”

"Han Sui again? Weird. Liu Zhang laughed coldly: "Han Sui first killed Wu Ban, and then was instigated to be the leader of the alliance, and now he has killed Ma Teng, how do I feel that this person is the first wronged leader in the ages?" ”

Guan Yinping almost laughed out loud on the side.

Fa Zhengdao: "My subordinates also think so, Han Sui killed General Wu, but did not send troops, Han Sui may have the heart to be the leader of the alliance, but when have I seen the warlords of Yongliang so united."

During the attack on Tielong Pass, as the leader of the alliance, it was even more ridiculous to kill Ma Teng, only mediocre people would think that Han Sui wanted to eradicate Ma Teng, a competitor, Han Sui was known as the fox of Xiliang, and it was impossible for him to be so stupid. There must be a push behind this. ”

Liu Zhang thought for a while. Still can't figure out why. However, it doesn't seem to be about the Sichuan Army, it's just a dog eating a dog, and he said coldly to Tianshui Taishou on the side: "What about Ma Chao? ”

Liu Zhang remembered that Ma Chao and Ma Dai were seriously injured and recuperated in Tianshui, but when he came to Tianshui to search, he didn't find it at all.

Tianshui Taishou nodded and said: "Shu Hou doesn't know, it's the Lord of the Han League, oh no." Tianshui Taishou, appointed by Han Laogou, although he wanted to dismiss the official and go away and enjoy the countryside, but after all, it was a part of Han Sui, and Ma Chao ran away at night after hearing that Ma Teng died at the hands of Han Sui. ”

"Damn, the horse ran away again."

Ma Chao commanding the cavalry is really powerful, compared to him, Han Sui and Ma Teng are not worth mentioning at all, and the combat power of a Xiliang soldier in Ma Chao's hands is too great. Liu Zhang is not afraid.

"How is Ma Chao's sister?" Guan Yinping couldn't help but interject and ask, and Tianshui Taishou had anger on his face. "It's really hateful to run away, if I take it, I will definitely give it to the imperial uncle as a concubine."

"You ......" Guan Yinping's face was angry, he was stopped by Liu Zhang, and said to Taishou with a smile: "Ben Hou really thank you." ”

"Where is it, be loyal to the imperial uncle, and do it within the next division."

"In that case, let's go and take stock of the Tianshui Mansion, whether it's gold, silver, cloth, grain, weapons, pots and pans, all the things of the official family have been packed."

"Huh?" Tianshui was stunned.

"Aren't you going to be loyal to Benhou? Don't you want to? Liu Zhang stared at Tianshui Taishou.

"Yes, yes, yes." Tianshui was too busy to agree.

Liu Zhang smiled, patted Tianshui Taishou's face, and said with a smile: "Lord Taishou, your family is dozens of people, if I find out that you have deducted and concealed it, you know, the taste of the five horses splitting the corpse, at that moment...... Hehehe. Liu Zhang's palm was pinched into a fist in front of Taishou's eyes, and Taishou trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "The small ones must be all packed, all packed, and not a single needle will be left." ”

"Okay, my lord is really smart and wise, go down and get busy."

Taishou nodded and walked away.

Tianshui City is a big city in Yongzhou, the geographical location is very important, in the northwest of Yongzhou, it is also the most prosperous, but this is a piece of chicken ribs for the Sichuan army, it is useless at all, unless the Sichuan army immediately starts a full-scale war against Xiliang, otherwise it can only withdraw to Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang glanced at the roof of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion and said to Fa Zheng: "Go back and let the county guard mansion be demolished, and the better tiles will be transported to Xiqiang, and those Qiang leaders will build luxurious houses." ”

"That's right." Before Fa Zheng could answer, Liu Zhang said again: "Chen Cang, it is our gateway to the north, and it was demolished together with the city wall, and the bricks and tiles were transported back to Hanzhong to build houses for the displaced people, and the better tiles were also pulled to Xiqiang." ”

The Qiang generals such as Xifengchi, at first glance, heard that Liu Zhang took care of them so much, sent all the good things to Xiqiang, and built a house for them, they were all grateful and inexplicable, and they bowed down to Liu Zhang together.

Fa Zheng replied yes, transport the good bricks and tiles to Xiqiang to build a house, Fa Zheng naturally knew what the purpose was, Wang Xu's strategy was in the hands of Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng was deeply admired.

No matter how the upper echelons of Xiqiang degenerate and abuse their power, the Qiang people can't blame the Sichuan army, because the Sichuan army didn't let those leaders abuse their power, and when they gave it, they were all kind.

Both the upper and lower classes will be grateful to Liu Zhang's benevolence, and after the upper class is corrupted by power and wealth a little bit, the Qiang people can only resent their upper class for not being angry, and use Liu Zhang's kindness to the crooked and evil ways, and really kill people without blood.

When these good bricks and tiles were sent to Xiqiang, luxurious houses were built for the nobles, and when those poor Qiang people saw the gorgeous houses, the envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts were what the Sichuan army wanted.

A gorgeous wall can infinitely distance the distance between the upper and lower layers of the Qiang people, and that strangeness is irreversible.

And the demolition of Chencang, there is another purpose, Chencang is to prevent the Sichuan army from going north, the demolition can let the Sichuan army drive straight into, although it seems that the Sichuan army within three or four years, it is impossible to go north, a city restoration, as long as a lot of manpower and material resources are used, half a year to a year can be built.

But as soon as Ma Teng died, the balance of Xiliang was broken, and it is conceivable that after three or four years, Xiliang will be a bloody storm, which prince can use manpower and material resources to repair a Chen Cang that is not helpful in the struggle for hegemony?

In other words, once the Chen Cang is demolished, it is likely that it will not be possible to build a fortress in three or four years.

Liu Zhang finally decided to see those wealthy families, and led the generals to the front yard, for two days, more than 50 households around Tianshui sent people to the scene, and the Tianshui County Government only gave them two cakes every day, which really hurt these people who usually have fine clothes and fine food.

"I've seen Uncle Huang." When everyone saw Liu Zhang, they were happy and afraid, and bowed down together.

Liu Zhang waved his hand, signaled to get up, and said to everyone: "Call everyone to come, there is no other purpose, just three, I will get straight to the point, first, each family will hand over thirty percent of the property to the Sichuan army according to the proportion of property." ”

"Huh?" The giants looked at each other and exchanged ears.

"Don't make a noise." Wang Shuang shouted loudly: "If you don't want to hand it over, get out of here, my lord will not embarrass you." ”

Immediately the crowd fell silent.

Liu Zhang was not shocked, and added: "You know how much property you have, I only tell you that you only have one chance to favor the amount of your property, and hand it over within three days, if not, you know the consequences." ”

The wealthy families are awe-inspiring, they have never seen such a rough warlord, even if they are those Xiliang reckless people, they are not as good as Liu Zhang, but they have no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow them, many wealthy families are ready to pay a little more, pay more than forty percent, otherwise they will be recognized by the Sichuan army as not paying enough, and now the 100,000 army is here, no one can save them.

Forty percent, that's a living person's thigh cut, it hurts.

"Second, all the Qiang people in your house who are sold as slaves must be released, together with their families, and sent to the East Tsing Yi Grassland in West Qiang, oh, by the way, you remember, the East Tsing Yi Grassland is the former Xian Ling Qiang Grassland, and the clan name of Xian Ling Qiang no longer exists."

"Third." Liu Zhang looked at Jiang Xu, and Jiang Xu's heart jumped: "This time, in addition to the Tianshui defenders, it is the Jiang family who hates our Sichuan army the most, and almost killed my general, it is impossible for me not to pursue this matter, otherwise how can I be worthy of the dead Sichuan army soldiers."

However, the Jiang family was coerced by the Tianshui defenders, and there were also places where they had to be helpless, I will forgive you, you only need to hand over fifty percent of the entire Jiang family's property, all the Jicheng treasury to the Sichuan army, and half of the Jiang family's slaves and maids, together with their families, were sent to Hanzhong to become Hanzhong immigrants, and in addition, to hand over Liu Shan. ”

After Liu Zhang finished speaking coldly, he looked at Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu's teeth were clenched, more than fifty percent of the property could be collected within three days, it was not gold, silver and satin that could be done, it was estimated that the Jiang family would be hit hard this time.

There are also slaves and maids, those are bought with money, the entire Jiang family, more than 300 households, not to mention thousands of slaves and maids, dragging tens of thousands of families, this is to take the Jiang family's family background, to immigrate to Hanzhong.

But can you say a "no"?

If he really dares to resist, it will not be a matter of family property and slaves, or the lives of thousands of children of the Jiang family, men will be killed, and women will be bought and sold wantonly.

Jiang Xu had to reluctantly agree.

As for Liu Shan, the Jiang family didn't pay attention to it at all.

Liu Zhang left after saying a few words, and the army prepared the squad and transported the expropriated property.

Two hundred miles east of Tianshui, a man with a lupine scarf was erected in the cold wind with thousands of soldiers, it was Liu Bei's military advisor Zhuge Liang.

Ah San stood behind Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang looked ahead, turned around and asked, "The samurai who shoots arrows, have you dealt with it?" ”

Ah San shook his head and said: "At that time, Huang Zhong, the fierce general of the Sichuan army, suddenly killed, the scene was chaotic, and when I returned to the camp, I still wanted to look for it, but I didn't find it, in such a short time, I thought about it, I died in the chaos." ”

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and at this time, a group of soldiers appeared in front of him, and a smile immediately appeared on Zhuge Liang's face.

Ma Chao, who had not recovered from his injuries, after escaping from Tianshui, was encountering the Ma Jiajun who had fled back, and was still being chased and killed by Han Sui's troops, Han Sui felt wronged in his heart, feeling that he was the first wronged in the ages, and he didn't do anything, but he did a lot of things.

But Han Sui is known as the fox of Xiliang, treacherous and abnormal, since it is rumored that Ma Teng was killed by himself, it is useless to explain it himself, it is better to simply kill it to the end. (To be continued.) )
