With a smile on his face, but his tone revealed a little sharpness, Ao Lie said to the dozen or so Jiangdong ministers standing on the right side: "Give your reasons. If you can make Lone accept, Lone will never embarrass you. ”

Among the Jiangdong people who stood on the side of the opposition, Buqi was the most talented and famous minister. After Ao Lie's inquiry, Bu Qi took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Regent, Jiangdong's customs, regional culture, and other places are completely different, and there are still a large number of Shanyue people in Jiangdong, has the regent ever considered how to properly handle the confrontation between them and the Han people?" If the regent forcibly incorporated Jiangdong into the Northern Han Dynasty, then I would like to ask the regent, will he allow the existing system in Jiangdong to continue to exist? If not, it will inevitably cause a mutiny in Jiangdong, and I am afraid that when the time comes, the regent will not only not get Jiangdong, but will be in a mess! ”

Ao Lie turned his head to look at the others noncommittally, and continued to ask, "What about the others?" State your reasons. "The dozen or so people standing with Bu Qi, you look at me, I look at you, and then with a little uneasiness, they spoke one after another: "If the regent can allow the regent not to abolish the privileges of the Jiangdong clan, I am willing to sincerely submit to the regent." "These people know that the concept of Ao Lie's governance is that everyone is equal, and all the large states that are summarized in the Northern Han Dynasty, whether it is the poor and backward Guang, Ming and other states in the north, or the rich Jizhou in Hebei, whether it is Yizhou in the southwest and thousands of miles in the fertile land, or Jingzhou in the south, all of them have been canceled the scholar privilege system, if they are submissive to the Northern Han Dynasty, then the scholar privilege system in Jiangdong will inevitably not be preserved, which is the fundamental reason why many people are unwilling to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty, these scholars who have been accustomed to sucking the blood and sweat of the common people, It is unacceptable that the system of gentry will be banned forever.

When these dozen or so people said this, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong and other far-sighted people immediately cast their eyes on them as if they were looking at the dead. Zhang Zhao and the others are also from the scholar clan, but under the general situation, they chose to sacrifice the family's privileges of the scholar clan. to get the opportunity to let the family pass on, and only in this way can he let his family continue to thrive under the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty, because Ao Lie will never change the fundamental concept of governing the country because of the will of the minority, which is obviously inconsistent with the interests of the vast majority of the people. It was originally the first one advocated by Ao Lie! These people who proposed to keep the privileges of the warriors were so stupid that they bumped into Ao Lie's knife and didn't know it, they were really stupid.

Sure enough, after hearing the reasons of these dozen people, Ao Lie's face gradually became cold, and his tone became more majestic: "The country is a country, first there is a country, and then there is a home." The comparison of personal gains and losses with the honor and disgrace of the country is really insignificant. How can we allow our own selfish interests to override the whole country? Your reasons don't convince Lone. As for Buqi Buzi Mountain. You are considering the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, which is not mixed with personal interests, and now Lone can tell you very clearly that Bo Fu and Zhong Mou govern Jiangdong's concept. The concept of Gugo is in the same vein, and within ten years, without special changes, Jiangdong's existing policies will not change. Now, do you still have any questions? ”

Because Bu Qi only joined the Jiangdong group later, he was not clear about Sun Ce and Sun Quan's concept of governing the country. It was learned and borrowed from Ao Lie, and after being broken by Ao Lie, Bu Qi immediately bowed his hand to Ao Lie and said respectfully: "If this is the case, the minister has no objections." As he spoke, he moved from the camp on the right to the camp on the left.

After the footsteps of Bu Qi stopped completely, Ao Lie said loudly: "Now, the first edict of the lonely ruler of Jiangdong, the people in the queue on the left, except for the necessary personnel changes, the rest of the people will remain unchanged, and the number of people will increase by one percent. Bu Qiu dared to speak out, so the official was promoted to one level, and the number of people increased by two percent; Those in the middle queue will be deposed from all official positions and will never be hired. I don't need the mediocre and unassertive like of vacillation and unassertion; The people standing in the queue on the right side, disregarding the country and society for personal gain, are no longer worthy of continuing to exist in the world, come on, take them down, and immediately behead them to show the public! All his family property was confiscated, and his family was demoted to commoners and exiled to Gwangju! ”

As soon as Ao Lie's edict was given, the hundred battles and bloody slaughter standing behind him immediately divided into two teams of men and horses, a team of more than a dozen people rushed forward, and pulled out the Jidu swords behind them, the cold blade flashed with cold light, and wiped it on the necks of more than a dozen Jiangdong officials on the right, bringing up a gushing blood fountain, ending their lives here; The other team was composed of more than 500 people, and under the leadership of the Shadow Members, they dispersed into more than a dozen squads, rushing towards the mansions of more than a dozen Jiangdong officials who had just been killed!

The policy of carrots and sticks is a popular leadership technique in later generations, and Ao Lie used this method very smartly. While giving protection to the people of Jiangdong who are willing to surrender, they also adopted bloody suppression methods to completely wipe out those hidden parasites! Between one award and one punishment, the hierarchy is clear and orderly, and Ao Lie used such a combination of grace and power to complete the initial integration of Jiangdong's civil and military officials.

After this turmoil, Ao Lie ignored the more than ten decapitated corpses and bloodstains on the ground, and said to Sun Ce with a smile: "Bo Fu, aren't you going to take Gu to Jianye City to sit?" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and then said to Ao Lie: "Minister, Sun Ce, take the order!" Please enter the city! Sun Quan and other civil and military officials immediately shouted in unison: "The ministers welcome King Yan into the city." "The subtle change in the title is enough to explain everything, the title of Ao Lie has changed from the regent to the king of Yan, which is equivalent to Jiangdong from Sun Ce down, has officially recognized submission to the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty! At this point, after Jingzhou, Jiangdong was also bloodlessly incorporated into the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the siege of Cao Cao in Ao Lie's plan was completed.

After entering Jianye City, Ao Lie stayed for a month. During this period, Ao Lie made some adjustments to Jiangdong's personnel, and under the advice of the poisoner Jia Xu and the shadow commander Li Ru, he divided the family born and raised in Jiangdong, for example, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who were also born in the Zhang family, Zhang Zhao was not transferred, and still stayed in Jiangdong to help Sun Quan manage internal affairs, while Zhang Hong was transferred to Yanjing and became the minister of the court, instead of a local official. Benefits of doing so: It is to divide power to avoid the phenomenon of a family having too much power in Jiangdong in the future, and to put it bluntly, Ao Lie is avoiding risks. Such a transfer lasted for more than 20 days before it ended, and Ao Lie made some transfers to a greater or lesser extent to the eight major families in Jiangdong, transferring nearly one-fifth of them to various large states in the Northern Han Dynasty or promoting them to positions in the court. At the same time, Ao Lie also transferred officials from other states to serve in Jiangdong. In the process of transfer, Ao Lie also took into account the actual situation of these families, and all personnel transfers will not cause the loss of talent from these families. He also divided the power, effectively ensuring the stability of the Jiangdong region, and at the same time, in a series of transfers, he effectively grasped the great power of Jiangdong in his own hands.

After the personnel adjustment was completed, Ao Lie set his sights on military affairs again. In any case, Ao Lie is still a martial artist in his bones, so no matter where he goes, he attaches great importance to the combat effectiveness of his soldiers. In Jiangdong, an area with many lakes and water flows, Danyang is an extremely rare place where cavalry is abundant. Moreover, the Shanyue people in Jiangdong are also excellent combat arms. There was no reason for Ao Lie to bury these elite cavalry. In addition, the comprehensive quality of the Jiangdong Navy is also the water army with the highest index in the whole world, although the Qilin Navy under Ao Lie is elite. But after all, there are only 20,000 people, and in a large-scale water war, it is far from being able to play a role in swaying the tide of the war, therefore. Absorbing the elite of the Jiangdong Navy and replenishing fresh blood to the Qilin Navy is also something that Ao Lie urgently needs to solve.

In fact, it's not just the Kirin Water Army. After a series of major battles, the four elite troops under Ao Lie's command have suffered some losses, and none of the elite troops can still maintain a complete establishment, so that these elite troops can be expanded, so that their combat effectiveness can be improved to a higher level, which will have a huge role in helping Cao Cao in the future.

During the last ten days of Jianye's stay, Ao Lie devoted all his attention to expanding the elite troops. The first to be expanded is the Kirin Water Army. The special topography of Jiangdong and Jingzhou determines the quality of the naval armies of these two large states, and it is really the best choice to select the elite from the naval armies of these two large states and expand the Qilin naval army. Ao Lie asked Pang Tong and Sun Ce to select 50,000 elite sailors in the Dazhou he was in charge of, and send them to Gan Ning's station, where Gan Ning conducted another round of screening, and then selected more than 30,000 elites, bringing the total number of Qilin troops to 50,000. As for the people who are slightly worse than the selection criteria of the Qilin Army, they are also elite soldiers, Ao Lie has no reason to abandon them, but asked Zhou Yu to reorganize them, form a 70,000-strong naval army, practice day and night, and build fortifications hundreds of miles away from Gan Ning's station, and form a corner with Gan Ning's headquarters, completely blocking the entire Yangtze River, eliminating any possibility of Cao Cao launching a sneak attack.

At the same time, Ao Lie also summoned nearly 100,000 Danyang cavalry and Shanyue elite cavalry and part of Jingzhou's cavalry, which were screened and selected by Zhao Yun, in line with the purpose of rather lack than indiscriminate, adhering to the principle of complementarity between combat effectiveness and loyalty, and finally selected 30,000 iron cavalry with strong combat effectiveness among the 100,000 people, and incorporated them into the bloody army, making the total number of the bloody army also reach 50,000, becoming the second elite force to complete the expansion. The eliminated elite cavalry was divided into two, half of which was assigned to Pang Tong, and the other half was assigned to Sun Ce, which also played a complementary role in the military strength of Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

Because the Tiger Ben Army is a heavy infantry army, and the physical fitness requirements for each member are extremely high, and the expansion of the army cannot be completed for a while, Ao Lie can only let Yizhou Mu Xu Shu in Yizhou, first select the elite who meet the conditions of the Tiger Ben Lux, and wait for Ma Chao to screen in person. After all, due to the mountainous geographical environment of Yizhou, the military quality of the infantry soldiers in the territory is still very strong. Of course, Nanzhong in the south of Yizhou is a place that Ao Lie can't forget, and among the barbarian generals under Meng Huo's department, there are strong men, and to this day, Ao Lie still remembers the tens of thousands of vine armor soldiers under the vulture bones. Although limited by cultural accomplishment, many barbarians have brute force, but they cannot understand the use of tactics, but it does not mean that all barbarians can not do this, after Zhuge Liang subdued Meng Shu, Nanzhong will become an important node in the expansion of the Tiger Lux.

As for the Long Xiang army led by Lu Bu, they could only expand the army after returning to Yanjing. There are a large number of Sinicized Huns, Wuhuan and Xianbei people living in Guang, Ming and Tongzhou, which is the cradle of cavalry, even if it is not difficult to gather a million cavalry, what Lu Bu has to do is just to select the best of the best, keep improving, and select 30,000 heavy cavalry to supplement the Longxiang heavy cavalry, for Lu Bu, there is no difficulty.

When the expansion of the four elites is completed, the tacit understanding between each other and the cultivation of the military soul meet Ao Lie's requirements, it will be the day when Ao Lie leads the army to attack from all sides and encircle and suppress Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
