Chapter 31: Heartbeat
"It turned out to be the head of the Yang family and the general of Huangfu!"
Li Zheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Please sit!" ”
"The two of you are highly respected, I don't know what is the important thing to come to see me this time?"
Li Zheng asked knowingly, with some thorns in his tone.
Huangfu Song frowned, but Yang Biao remained silent and said, "Old Immortal congratulates the general on defeating Dong Zhuo and shocking the world!" ”
Li Zheng smiled and didn't speak.
"I heard that the day before yesterday, at the court meeting, Sun Rui, the ruling Jin Wushi, was open-mouthed and offended the general, so he deserved to die. However, a courtier did not deserve this fate. Now that he is being imprisoned by the general, he has reflected on his mistakes in the past few days. The so-called mistakes can be corrected, and the good is great, please open the net and let them out. ”
Yang Biao said sincerely, with a pair of deep eyes, looking at Li Zheng, very sincere.
"Exactly." Huangfu Song on the side also said: "The general is powerful in the world, and the mountains and rivers are hidden in the belly, why should you have trouble talking to them?" ”
The rest of the young people also looked at Li Zheng with blank eyes.
"Hehe," Li Zheng smiled and said, "It's not that I can't get along with them, it's that they can't get along with me." What Li did, the two of them also knew it. The Han Dynasty is basically over to me. Without the Han Dynasty, what are they? It is I who have taken their titles and left them with nothing, lest they will want to eat my flesh and drink my blood? Reflect on your own mistakes? Joke! ”
Yang Biao and Huangfu Song's faces immediately became ugly.
These two actually can't wait to eat Li Zheng.
In their lives, the fame of this body, their glory and interests, all relied on the Han Dynasty to get it. Without the Han Dynasty, they are nothing.
Li Zheng felt funny in his heart that their qiē was all taken from the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty has come to this point, and it is they who have pushed it forward.
It was they who pushed the powerful and prosperous Han Dynasty into the abyss step by step.
Seeing that the conversation was deadlocked, and there seemed to be no need to continue talking, Li Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "But it doesn't have to be locked up in prison." ”
"Oh?"
Yang Biao's face moved, and he said, "General, please speak clearly." ”
Li Zheng nodded, it was simple to talk to such an old guy, so he said: "Guanzhong is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, among which there are many big families and powerful families. The ministers of the DPRK and China are the representatives and backbones of this class. It wasn't hard for me to let them go, but I had to agree to a few conditions. ”
"First, disband the family soldiers, every famous family, a powerful family, can only follow the laws of my Liangzhou, only retain a certain number of nursing homes, and it must be a mercenary system, my Liangzhou has abolished the domestic slave system!"
"Second, the government will take back all the land and distribute it according to the population from the beginning, which must be implemented!"
"The above two points are the main conditions." Li Zheng leaned over slightly, his eyes burned, and said: "In a word, anyone must obey the laws and regulations of my Liangzhou, and no one is allowed to violate them!" ”
"As long as I promise to cooperate with the implementation of my Liangzhou policy, I will let him out."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Biao and the others were silent.
Liangzhou's system, they are not unaware. Because of this, I am deeply repulsed. Because the Qiē system of Liangzhou is to overthrow their rule from the root.
Li Zheng understood it, smiled, and said: "Let's say it clearly, although there are many people in Guanzhong, in the eyes of my Li, they are still ants!" Tough? Not cooperative? Want to try my knife sharp disadvantage?! Hey, I'm Li Zheng not Dong Zhuo, I don't need the support of the so-called family at all, I have come to this point by myself! ”
Yang Biao and the others continued to be silent.
"Okay, the conditions have also been mentioned, if you haven't thought it through, go back and think about it first, and when you make a decision, you will come to tell me." Li Zheng waved his hand and reminded with a smile: "I heard that someone in the prison has committed suicide out of despair." ”
Immediately, as soon as the people waited, they jumped to their feet.
Several young men cried and mourned, and hurriedly bowed down, saying: "The general's conditions, our three brothers have agreed, please let my father come out!" ”
"Who are you?"
Li Zheng looked at the three of them, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"In Xia Wanggai, this is my second brother Wang Jing and third brother Wang Ding. The father in the next family is Wang Yun! ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a descendant of the prince's division." Li Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Can the three of you call the shots?" ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, the three of you can take my warrant and go to the prison to pick up people."
"Thank you, General!"
The three of them were overjoyed, hurriedly held the warrant, and quickly left the Weiyang Palace under the gaze of a group of people waiting to eat people on the side.
Seeing this, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song couldn't help but sigh slightly, and they all got up to say goodbye.
After this cadre waited out, Li Zheng vaguely heard complaints and arguments.
"The three Wang brothers are simply, hey!"
"The Wang clan is located in Taiyuan, and it is not in Guanzhong, of course it is simple!"
"When I came, I said that I would advance and retreat together, hum, these three people are not enough to conspire!"
Li Zheng couldn't help but smile slightly, these people are like this, although they are a class, they are not completely unified internally after all, and they are still very easy to deal with.
After sending Yang Biao and his staff, Li Zheng was about to continue to deal with government affairs, and another soldier came to report, saying that a woman was asking to see her outside the palace.
Li Zheng couldn't help frowning, and said, "Who is it?" ”
These people are endless and tiresome.
"Lord, that woman claims to be the daughter of Zuo Zhonglang General Cai Yong."
"Cai Yong's daughter?!"
When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
This is a talented woman who has been famous for the ages, well, I have to see it!
But in a moment, with the sound of soft footsteps, a mature woman with a plain face slowly walked into the palace.
This woman does not apply powder, her face is fresh, her eyes are very quiet, and her whole body exudes a bookish atmosphere, giving people a strong intellectual beauty. She walked neither slowly nor hurriedly, and her expression was neither flattering nor cold, but very gentle.
In an instant, Li Zheng's heart was moved!
This is the first time that Li Zheng fell in love with a woman at first sight!
Whether it is Xun Ying, or Wu Amaranth, or even Dong Bai, although they are all beautiful and have their own characteristics, they are not as good as the feeling that the woman in front of them gives Li Zheng!
Mature, beautiful, intellectual, gentle!
"Concubine Cai Yan, I have seen General Li."
This sentence was like the spring sunshine, Li Zheng's eyes lit up instantly, he looked at Cai Yan with burning eyes, and said, "Girl, please take a seat." ”
Cai Yan couldn't help frowning in the face of Li Zheng's aggressive gaze, and a flush swelled up on his face.
"The girl is here today for Lingzun, right?" Li Zheng was the first to speak.
"The general is wise." Cai Yan smiled, revealing two deep dimples on his face.
Cai Yong was forcibly recruited by Dong Zhuo at the beginning, and was later reused. This man was a scholar and a calligrapher, and he had a pure bookish temperament. felt that Dong Zhuo reused him, so he should repay Dong Zhuo. Because of this, Cai Yong was ostracized by the rest of the ministers.
At this court meeting, Cai Yong was also unlucky and was arrested. But no one pleaded with him, so this time Cai Yan had to enter the palace to see Li Zheng in person as a daughter.
She was a wise woman, and knew that with her father's current situation, no one would want to help.
"My father is old, and his health is not very good, please ask the general to have mercy on the concubine" When Cai Yan's expression was low, Li Zheng was even more distressed.
So he hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, I'll call someone to bring out Uncle Lingzun!" ”
Cai Yan's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head slightly: "General Xie"
At this time, Li Zheng got up and walked down the steps, came straight to Cai Yan, and said with a smile: "I have heard that Cai's Zhaoji is famous, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, can this general have the honor to invite Zhaoji Garden to talk about it and listen to the girl's piano sound?" ”
In another three days, many materials from Liangzhou were deployed into Guanzhong, and many officials were dispatched to many counties and counties in Guanzhong after the assessment of the officials. With the arrival of middle- and grass-roots officials, Liangzhou's various characteristic policies began to be implemented in various localities and gradually became regular.
Most of these new officials are rookies trained by the Liangzhou education system itself, although most of them have no experience as officials, but they are well aware of the divine will of Liangzhou's various policies, and everyone has momentum and ideals, Li Zheng is very optimistic about this.
During this period, Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and other former Dong Zhuo generals also went to Chang'an, and after meeting Li Zheng, according to the practice of Liangzhou, they all went to Lingzhou Tai Academy for further study, preparing to study Liangzhou military, so as to better integrate into the Liangzhou military group.
At the same time, the more than 100,000 troops in the east and south of the original Dong Zhuo's department were selected and selected to pick out the most elite of them and take up posts on the spot, and the rest were sent to Baishuichuan for training.
After taking Guanzhong, Li Zheng's military defense line was stretched a lot. There are a lot more enemies to face. The main thing is the Kwantung princes!
Hedong borders Hanoi and needs to be guarded against Yuan Shao. To the east, it borders Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Yin, including Luoyang, only occupies half of Henan, and the rest is still in the hands of the princes, facing Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. It also borders Jingzhou to the south, and it has to guard against Liu Biao, so a large number of troops are needed.
All the troops under Li Zheng's command have a total of about 250,000 regular soldiers, plus auxiliary soldiers, slightly more than 300,000. Among them, more than 60,000 regular soldiers and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers are in Yizhou. After defeating Yizhou, it also needs to be defended, and this force cannot be moved.
There are nearly 30,000 people in Li Luo's department in the west, and they need to monitor the countries of the Western Regions, and they can't move.
There are more than 30,000 people in the north of Mengli's department, and they need to guard against Xianbei in the west, and they can't move either.
There are more than 30,000 people in the northeast of the White Wolf Division, and they need to guard against the remnants of Xianbei and the Xiongnu in the central part of the country, and their responsibilities are important, but they still can't move.
The 20,000 people on the eastern front of the Baiyu Department in the east had to be stationed in Keiguan, confront Hanoi, guard against Yuan Shao, and could not move.
There are about 10,000 horses left in the Lingzhou Central Army, which is an old nest, and it must have a defensive force and cannot be moved.
Only the soldiers and horses of the Southern Army Pound were guarded in the pass. This part of the soldiers and horses, the Southern Army originally had more than 40,000 people, plus the 8,000 foot soldiers brought by Li Zheng from the Central Army, more than 3,000 war cavalry, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 soldiers and horses from Bai Yu's department to the south, a total of more than 70,000 people.
Of the more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, there were 40,000 in Chang'an, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the eastern Hanguguan and Henan Yin areas, 4,000 soldiers and horses in Li Le's department in the Meridian Road, and 4,000 soldiers and horses in the Yuyuan department of Xiegu.
Because the troops and horses of the former Dong Zhuo were to be sent back to Baishuichuan for training, the defense forces in the eastern and southern directions of Guandong became extremely vulnerable.
Therefore, Li Zheng immediately allocated 20,000 elite soldiers from Chang'an to Hangu Pass and handed them over to Pang De under the command. Another 5,000 soldiers and horses were allocated, divided into two parts, each of which served under Li Le and Yu Yuan, so far, there were only 15,000 men and horses left in Chang'an.
Even so, especially the defense line in the eastern Hangu Pass and Luoyang area is still very fragile. Pang De led more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he was overstretched to guard against several surrounding princes.
Therefore, Li Zheng decided to select the elite from the army of the original Dong Zhuo Army, and prepared to change clothes on the spot.
In this selection, a total of nearly 40,000 qualified people were selected, and after all kinds of armor were transported from Liangzhou, they would immediately change their outfits and belong to Commander Pang De. Now for the time being, he is wearing the original clothes and guarding the place.
