Chapter 44 Moving into Jianye
For a night, Cheng Liu barely slept much, and after studying the military battle map for a night, the whole person's spirit became weaker and weaker.
In the morning, he asked Sweet Potato to secretly transfer things from Wanling County to Jianye, and after arranging the affairs of the county guard, he secretly waved his army north.
At this time, there were less than 3,000 people left in Wanling's garrison, and these people were just to hold the city as a back road.
After receiving the news, Dian Wei stayed in the Jiangning area, and at the same time went to Shicheng to join Gan Ning, and took his cavalry to Jianye together.
Xu Shu followed Cheng Liu to sit in the same carriage, although he didn't understand the current practice, but from the recent news, it can be seen that the Han family is about to change.
And from the moment he followed Cheng Liu, he already knew that Cheng Liu was a person who was unwilling to be mediocre, so he was so willing to do things for him.
At this time, there were only two people in the carriage, and the entire march was only about a thousand people, and the rest of the large army set off from Shicheng and converged at Jianye, so this small team was more like a large caravan divided into several teams.
Xu Shu suddenly asked, "Lord, what if the assassin asks about it?" ”
Cheng Liu has thought about this question countless times, but he has never dealt with the Thorn History before, and now that the Thorn History has not taken Danyang County to heart at all, even if he knows the danger of Jianye City, he does not dare to rashly do anything to him.
"He asked, naturally, I will deal with it, in short, after going to Jianye, we will quietly train the troops, and then wait for the opportunity, during this time, all the soldiers and horses are stationed in the barracks in the city, but don't say it to the outside world."
Xu Shu nodded slightly, and then asked again: "What about the cavalry from Shicheng?" ”
With so many cavalry entering the city, I am afraid that it will cause many onlookers, and at this time, Cheng Liu did not think of a countermeasure for a while.
Xu Shu said directly: "Lord, there is a good way for my subordinates. ”
Cheng Liu hurriedly asked him to say.
"There is a large wasteland outside Jianye City, which is far away from the official road, and there are generally few people passing by, so we will build a fortress directly over there, and while secretly recruiting troops and horses in the city, we will gather soldiers and horses from other jurisdictions in Danyang County and garrison them outside the city, so that when something happens, there is also a guarantee."
To be honest, it is very risky to be stationed outside the city, and there are many examples of generals in history who stationed their soldiers and horses outside the city, and then caught fire in the city.
But at this time, Cheng Liu has no extra way, this seems to be the best way, if he goes directly into the city, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of others, and it will still cause a lot of trouble.
After finally arriving at Jianye City, those local officials were trembling, after all, the resources of Wanling were suddenly transferred, which made them feel a little strange.
Cheng Liu didn't explain them one by one, just asked them not to say it to the outside world, and set up a new county guard's mansion, and the reasons they found were also very simple and rude.
"Support Jianye City, after all, it is close to Luoyang, if there is civil unrest here, it can be solved as soon as possible."
This statement just told other county guards that he had no other meaning, and he was not running away, just to get a little closer to Luoyang.
Others know it, but they can't control it, and at this time, in the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion,
At this time, the history of Yangzhou was still a person in the palace, and it did not exist for long in history, so Cheng Liu did not know him.
In the Assassin's Mansion, he had just received the news that Cheng Liu had left Wanling, and he was immediately shocked.
As soon as the investigation was made, even the defenders stationed in several cities were also transferred, leaving only part of the defenders, although the people did not completely withdraw, but this signal still made the assassin mansion a little flustered.
Could it be that you want to go north directly to Xuzhou?
You must know that although there is no connection between the county guards, the recent actions of several county guards are all in the eyes, not only the one in the palace who jointly signed the book, but even named the ones who wanted to gather troops and horses to quell the rebellion and civil strife.
But at this time, the most civil strife was Luoyang, could it be that the chaos at the feet of the Son of Heaven still had to be guarded by various counties to quell the rebellion?
There was no direct response from the palace, but it also confirmed this conjecture from the side.
Want to send troops into Luoyang openly? No way!
As a result, all the county guards began to gather troops and horses, and those who could go north continued to the north, and those who could not go north were also stationed in a city with other county guards, in short, the entire defense line of the northern defense directly expanded to the foot of Luoyang.
There are so many small actions under this day, it is impossible for the palace to know, but at this time, the Luoyang soldiers are strong and strong, and they are not worried that these civil strife will lead to war, but they are worried about another condition.
At this time, something that surprised the palace even more, and even the Assassin Mansion did not make any action for a while.
As soon as the Luoyang Order was promulgated, there was a peasant riot, and more and more people who knew the land law of Danyang County began to protest, saying that they would follow the land law of Danyang County, and everyone would have land!
But Luoyang is not Danyang County, here as the center of commercial culture, only commerce is king, the so-called agriculture and the interests of the poor class will not be considered at all, so the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger, and finally when it can't be suppressed, Luoyang Ling finally stood up.
A new decree was born, but only those who joined the household register could get a share of the land, and the one-third of an acre of land had to be bought by taxes.
In other words, the more taxes paid by wealthy merchants, the more land they could share, which led to a growing disparity between the status of the poor and the rich class.
Cheng Liu was sitting in Jianye, and when he heard the news from Luoyang City, he was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, before the beginning of spring, the peasant rebellion was already faintly slim.
At this time, the protests were all rational, at least because Luoyang Ling was still in action and did not sit and wait for the further development of the situation, but to calm the anger of the peasants, it was useless to have Luoyang Ling's efforts alone, and it depended on what the palace thought.
And it just so happened that at this time, Bingzhou was the first to accumulate anger, and went south in a fit of anger, among which a total of 98 counties in the nine counties of Bingzhou were the first to have civil strife.
About a month later, when all this was about to turn into a real riot, news suddenly came from the palace that the new land system would be implemented after the beginning of spring.
And the decree issued together also has a land reform system, but unfortunately, it is almost the same as the Luoyang order.
The people are still dissatisfied, thinking that they are delaying time and dealing with the situation before making plans for people's livelihood.
I don't know who started it, and suddenly, this statement quickly became difficult to leave.
