On the battlefield of Goryeo, a dragon flag was planted on the wall of Uiju City, and the fierce general Chang Yuchun climbed the city wall, and the corpses were everywhere below.

In order to capture the city in the north of Goryeo, the Liaodong army besieged the city of Uiju and stormed it.

The 80,000 defenders of Goryeo were killed, and Myeongguan led the Guanning Iron Cavalry into the city.

"What should be done with the Goryeo officials guarding the city?"

Ao Bai escorted a group of Goryeo officials and came to Myeongguan. This group of Goryeo officials were all terrified, and their lives and deaths were tied to the thoughts of the lords of the Han Empire.

"All those who resisted, all killed. Those who donate the city can obtain part of the property of the resistant, and they are in a high position. ”

At the sound of Myeongguan's order, dozens of Goryeo officials were killed, and the remaining officials were resigned. They got a share of the spoils, which was equivalent to getting on a thief ship.

"Choi Jae-sun has retreated to Xijing, defended with 100,000 people, and called on another 200,000 rebels to support Xijing......"

"Chu Zi of Xuzhou plotted to occupy Yuzhou with the intention of attacking Jizhou."

The Yanqi Guild brings the information that Mingguan wants to know.

"Chu Zimou is about to covet Hebei, and if my side does not pacify the Goryeo Kingdom as soon as possible, it will be passive. Spread the word to pacify the towns, and if there was any disobedience, there would be no forgiveness. ”

"The main force of the legion, follow me south!"

Only 50,000 defenders were left at Myeongguan to suppress the city of Uiju, and more than 100,000 main forces drove the Goryeo troops south.

Myeongguan's strategy is also very simple, there will always be someone in Goryeo who is willing to be his dog, as long as there are dogs to lead the way, it will be relatively simple to attack the remaining cities of Goryeo.

Guanning Iron Cavalry, Eight Banners, Xianbei Cavalry, Wuhuan Cavalry, and the Liaodong Legion, which was dominated by cavalry, continued to move south, and there was no end in sight.

Chu Tian asked Xu You to be placed in Xia City, ready to take him to attack Hebei. Chen Ji, Chen Qun, father and son of Yingchuan were ordered by Chutian to come to the lord's mansion to meet them.

Chen Ji, Chen Qun, father and son originally said that the Wenchen under the command of Tang, considering that Tang had no future, so they came to seek refuge in Chutian.

Some people in the family may not be loyal to the lord.

In history, Chen Qun followed Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and then took refuge in Cao Cao, and he was not a foolish and loyal person. Chen Qun persuaded Liu Bei to guard against Lu Bu carefully, but Liu Bei did not listen, maybe Chen Qun was disappointed in Liu Bei for a while, so he did not follow Liu Bei again.

It is understandable to cling to powerful princes in troubled times.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun, father and son, are all scholars.

For the Yingchuan family, Chutian was a little guarded, and Cao Wei's forces implemented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and became the election tool of the gate lord clan. This is a helpless compromise of Cao Wei to the family.

But Chutian is different, he exercises strict control over various legions, and the main generals are from other dynasties, and they have not yet formed a family, so they can not give much face to the local family.

Chen Ji and Chen Qun couldn't deal with Chutian in the same way as before, otherwise they wouldn't know how to die.

Chu Tian casually glanced at the panel of the two people, mainly focusing on Chen Qun.

Chen Ji is already old, and his achievements are far inferior to his son.

[Name]: Chen Qun

[Talent]: Emperor-level minister

[Identity]: Sikong, the main advocate of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system

[Loyalty]: 70

[Commander]: 32 [Force]: 24 [Intelligence]: 83 [Politics]: 97 [Charisma]: 73

[Phase]: Calm

[Favorability]: 50

[Characteristic 1]: Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System (SS-level neutral characteristic, when the Jiupin Zhongzheng System is implemented, the satisfaction of all power families is +30%, the probability of the appearance of talents of the family is +20%, the stability of the etiquette system is +20%, the satisfaction of the poor and civilians is -30%, and the probability of talent appearance is -10%)

[Characteristic 2]: Wei Lu (SS-level characteristics, law and order and public sentiment are not easy to decline, greatly reducing the probability of crime and corruption)

[Trait 3]: Qingliu Yawang (S-rank trait, when Chen Qun is not dead, the family's satisfaction is +10%)

……

Chen Qun went through the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rong, and was older than Sima Yi, advocating the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, which influenced the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties election system, and it was not until the imperial examination system of the Sui and Tang dynasties was perfected that it replaced the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

Chen Qun's trait bonus is also quite large. It's just that the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" is a system that has both advantages and disadvantages, and after Chutian's forces implemented the self-created imperial examination system, the nine-product Zhongzheng system is not very useful.

The Jiupin Zhongzheng system is a system that sacrifices the interests of the poor and the common people to safeguard the interests of the family, and it is also a compromise between Cao Wei and the family. However, there is a large number of players in Chutian's territory.

It is unlikely that the player group will agree with Chutian's implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and form a class solidification.

Players, civilians, poor families, families, soldiers, the interests of these groups must be considered.

Secondly, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has a certain background of the times. After Cai Lun improved papermaking, the price of paper was still very expensive, so there was an allusion to the high cost of Luoyang paper. The Maison has almost a monopoly on all knowledge, so the probability of talent being born is higher, and it has the ability to govern the country.

It was not until the progress of printing technology and the relatively cheap dissemination of knowledge that the imperial examination system replaced the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. In the Song Dynasty, when printing reached its peak, the status of literati was even higher.

In Territory, there are already economic buildings such as paper mills, and there is an influx of players, and the Maison cannot monopolize knowledge.

There is no greater significance in implementing the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

Of course, Chen Qun has a political value of 97, and as the Minister of the Interior, it is more than enough to deal with the usual internal affairs.

"You go to Xuchang and still deal with the internal affairs of Yuzhou."

Chutian considered that Li Kui, the assassin of Qingzhou, was an able minister in internal affairs, Yanzhou had Cheng Yu and Du Ruhui, and Xuzhou had two Zhang (Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong), and Yuzhou lacked ministers, so he sent Chen Ji and Chen Qun to Yuzhou.

Chen Qun is a smart person and very sensitive to taking sides. said that Tang's power declined, and there was only one Nanyang County left, and Chen Qun would not choose to return to Tang's side anyway......

"Do your best."

Chen Ji and Chen Qun didn't expect Chu Tian to summon their group to come, so they simply asked about the situation in Yuzhou, and then let them go back to Yingchuan and pass through Yuzhou, which they were familiar with.

Chu Tian squinted his eyes and watched Chen Ji and Chen Qun leave.

Within his sphere of influence, the Xuzhou family, the Yingchuan family, the Yanzhou family, the Nanyang family, and scholars from all over the world.

However, Chu Tian is not too worried, the imperial examination system has absorbed a group of players and cold families, commoners, and talents from other dynasties, and all forces compete for checks and balances, and he does not need to compromise with the local family like Cao Pi.

"Can Feng Yi bring it?"

In addition to summoning Chen Ji and Chen Qun, who surrendered, Chutian also summoned Feng Yi.

The Great Tree General Feng Yi was very reliable, and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was unable to capture the city he defended for a time. If he could be recruited, Chu Tian would have a steady corps commander equivalent to Zhou Yafu's level.

The larger the territory, the more legion commanders Chutian needed.

After a while, Feng Yi was brought by Dian Wei, and with Dian Wei by his side, it was impossible for Feng Yi to kill Chu Tian with his bare hands.

Feng Yi was a prisoner, but his expression was quite calm.

"When there is chaos today, the people are struggling to make a living, and the soldiers are pointing at them, and the lives are ruined. If we want to end the troubled times, we can only stop fighting with force. If there is a general to help, great things can be accomplished, which is a blessing for all the people. ”

Chu Tian moved with affection and knew with reason.

Feng Yi was a little shaken.

Chutian possessed the characteristics of "Han Wu", which had an additional attraction for the military generals of the Han Dynasty.

Feng Yi, as a military general in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, was inevitably affected.

Chu Tian continued to brainwash Feng Yi: "I raised troops from Langya, suppressed the Yellow Turban, crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and swept through the Central Plains, what I did was my own pleasure? I'm doing this for the people of the world. The general helped me to pacify the universe and defend the Quartet, which is a good thing for the country and the people. Please think twice......"

Chu Tian continued to brainwash Feng Yi, who was silent, and only after a few hours did he let Feng Yi take him down.

Feng Yi was a little dazed now, and Chu Tian had already mastered the basic brainwashing ability.

Unless he was a die-hard person, Chu Tian would most likely convince him.

If it doesn't work for a day, then recruit Feng Yi every day and discuss with him Kuang Fu Han's room.

Chu Tian thought that Feng Yi would surrender soon, after all, Feng Yi was brainwashed by Chu Tian every day......

To deal with special talents, Chu Tian has enough patience.

After the capture of Yuzhou, Chutian reported all the meritorious ministers to the imperial court and asked them to be promoted to miscellaneous generals, partial generals, lieutenant generals, school captains and other official positions.

……

Cao Cao's mansion in Xiacheng, Xu You came to visit with two pots of sake and talked with Cao Cao about cooking wine.

"In the next step, Yanzhou Mu will definitely take Hebei, and then the next step may be Guanzhong."

Cao Cao had a clear view of the situation.

Xu You shook his head: "Not necessarily. When I was in Jizhou, I heard that the cavalry from Mobei had entered Monan. At that time, the Central Plains may face an unprecedented crisis. ”

Cao Cao's eyes gradually became fierce: "If the Mobei cavalry dares to enter the Central Plains, it will definitely be wiped out!" ”

"It's only Cao Apu that you have such guts. If Yuan Benchu was here, then it would be lively. ”

Xu You and Cao Cao were both subordinates of Chutian, and Xu You no longer cared about the difference in official positions.

Yuan Shao has lost his status as a prince, so Xu You thinks that Yuan Shao and them can still be friends, and it is a big deal to become officials in the same dynasty in the future......

The identity of Yuan Shao IV and the third duke was there, and not many princes dared to really kill Yuan Shao.

Xu You mentioned one more thing: "In the summer city, there is really a mixture of fish and dragons. I wandered around the city, not only were there many strangers, but also various families, merchants, and powerful people settled in. I also saw people recruiting doormen, raising knights, and hundreds of conscripts. ”

Cao Cao heard Xu You mention that someone was raising chivalrous warriors in Xia City, and he frowned and found that something was wrong.

In troubled times, many powerful people gathered people to protect themselves and set up manors, with hundreds of people and tens of thousands, which is not uncommon. Some families and merchants also have the habit of recruiting customers.

For example, the Mi family in the East China Sea has tens of thousands of slaves, and when they are armed, they are tens of thousands of villagers.

Chu Tian had already consciously begun to crack down on this kind of behavior.

Haoqiang gathers villagers, which will cause the population to be hidden, and the income will also belong to Haoqiang, and the lord's mansion will not be able to collect taxes. Moreover, the existence of the doorman will threaten Chutian's rule over the four states.

The most effective way to deal with this kind of behavior is to conduct a demographic and bring the entire population under rule. At least tens of thousands of people can be added to a county in each census.

In addition to registering the population every year, Chutian sent troops to dismiss the estates and resettle the villagers in various villages and towns, weakening the influence of local tyrants on the common people and placing them under the direct rule of the government. The local heroes dared to resist, and the Four Tigers of the Northern Army led the army to raze the local powerful dock forts.

Now the four states no longer need to protect civilians, and the government will provide protection for civilians and allocate wasteland.

Not only that, Chutian strictly restricted the practice of various families or merchants to support customers, so he introduced the "Restriction of Doormen Order", but anyone who hires doormen must register with the government, and it cannot exceed a certain number.

Someone dared to raise chivalrous warriors in Xia City, which was simply provoking Chu Tian's authority.

Cao Cao asked, "I don't know who is recruiting knights in Xia City?" ”

Xu You was puzzled: "Which son should be in the east of the city?" Wasn't it Yanzhou Mu who gave him the opening of the government or some privileges? ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "Unheard of." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were a little surprised.

Chu Tian is not like a monarch who would superficially announce the "Restriction of Door Guest Order" and then secretly grant privileges to certain people.

Chutian can rise and will not commit such a taboo. Unless Cao Cao sees the wrong person.

"Let's go to the east of the city and meet this person for a while."

Cao Cao took advantage of the wine and planned to go with Xu You to see who dared to recruit doormen with great fanfare during the period when Chutian implemented the "Restriction of Doormen Order".

In the east of the city, sure enough, there is a large family recruiting strange people, and a notice is posted in front of the mansion.

"Anyone who has a skill can be a doorman."

Cao Cao saw the notice and glanced at Xu You, even more curious about the identity of the master.

Eight bare-handed men stood around the gate, stopping Cao Cao and Xu You.

They glanced at Cao Cao, who was short in stature, and Xu You, who was powerless, and stopped them: "You two don't look like good people. Do you have a skill? If it's just some ordinary skills, it's not worthy of a skill, so leave quickly. ”

Cao Cao, a partial general and army commander, was despised by the gatekeepers, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Commanding thousands of troops and pacifying the Central Plains, is it considered a skill?" ”

Xu You was also indignant: "Strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, is it considered a skill?" ”

It's rare for two people to wear a pair of pants.

In any case, it is really a shame to be underestimated by the other party like this.

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense here. What is the identity of our son, unless you can fight against 10,000 people, or have some rooster and dog thief skills, you can enter the eyes of our son. ”

The gatekeeper thought that Cao Cao and Xu You were just here to make trouble, and planned to blow Cao Cao and Xu You away.

If it weren't for Xia Cheng's implementation of the "Sword Hunting Order" and the confiscation of everyone's weapons except for the army and Wenchen (who could only wear swords), this group of big men would have directly expelled Cao Cao with swords.

Cao Cao became more and more curious about the origin of the master here, his little eyes turned a few times, and he said to Xu You: "We must find a way to enter this courtyard, or, try to lure the master out." ”

Xu You asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Cao Cao was ruthless: "Set fire." ”

"Ahem...... The two directly report their names, and these subordinates will bring them in. ”

A voice sounded from behind Cao Cao and Xu You.
