Chapter 116: Dingqing Prefecture will meet Kong Rong
Zhang Bin's iron cavalry, who defeated Qianghu and Gongsun Du and the alien alliance army with his cavalry on the grassland, is now more terrifying than their Xiliang cavalry;
If they offended Zhang Bin, they knew that they were not opponents, and they were still glad that Zhang Bin was fighting against foreign races, if Zhang Bin turned around and beat them, this Chang'an would have no other way but to give up.
"How's that good?" Li Xun looked at Jia Xu and asked.
Jia Xu smiled gloomily:
"It is enough to order General Zhendong to pacify Qingzhou and Cao Mengde to pacify Yanzhou, so that Zhang Bin's army enters the south of the Yellow River, just to contain Cao Mengde from sitting big, anyway, Zhang Bin's power is already large, we can choose to ignore it."
Jia Xu's strategy is not inappropriate for his character, Zhang Bin is the biggest prince anyway, no matter how big it is, it doesn't matter, and if Cao Mengde is allowed to occupy Qingzhou and Yanzhou, plus the south of Sizhou, which is unguarded, once he takes Xuzhou Yanzhou, that force will not be smaller than Zhang Bin;
At that time, Chang'an was sandwiched under the two major forces, even if they had the emperor and hundreds of officials in their hands, under the competition between them, he Jia Xu was still worried about losing his life unexpectedly.
Now let Zhang Bin cross the Yellow River, even if Cao Mengde has the ability to defy the sky, he will not dare to provoke Zhang Bin, then this Chang'an will be stable for a while and a half.
Jia Xu's words won the trust of Guo Yan and Li Xuan, and the two immediately asked Cao Cao to join Bao Xin to pursue the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, while Zhang Bin, the general of Zhendong, commanded the Qingzhou army to clean up Qingzhou.
Cao Cao and Bao Xin pursued the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, but unexpectedly the Yellow Turban Army fled directly into Qingzhou, and the two let the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army not have half of it left in just over a month.
The development changed slightly, Cao Cao occupied half of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin also occupied half of Yanzhou, tens of thousands of Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and the rest of the Yellow Turban Army after the unity, Zhang Bin and others, who had just arrived in Qingzhou, received the surrender of Qingzhou Qu Shuai Guan Hai.
did not send a soldier from Jizhou, and Zhang Bin also slowly entered Qingzhou from Xuzhou, just arrived in Qingzhou City, 300,000 Yellow Turban troops and more than 2 million families and hungry people surrendered directly, this battle table can be described as shaking the imperial court.
Except for the high-level of the Yellow Turban Army, no one knows what is going on, everything started from when Zhang Bin saved the 80,000 Yellow Turban elites of Guangzong, he was Zhang Jiao's nephew or son-in-law, plus the identity of the Yellow Turban General, there was Ma Yuanyi, the Yellow Turban Messenger, Guan Hai and others already knew who Zhang Bin was, and this time the Yellow Turban Uprising was planned by Zhang Bin, the purpose was to gather young people and displaced people from Qingzhou Yanzhou to prepare for the next control of Qingzhou.
The remaining 300,000 Yellow Turban Army was reduced to the remaining 100,000 infantry troops, Ma Yuanyi, Liao Hua and Cao Xing rushed to Qingzhou for training, and the remaining 200,000 young Zhuang and 2 million homeless and hungry people began to open up the wasteland under the assignment of the government.
With the rapid publicity, countless tenant farmers also broke away from the family landlords and began to open up the wasteland, but in the rest of the month, the situation in Qingzhou began to change greatly.
Zhang Bin's merits are huge, but General Zhendong is already a first-class military general, Guo Yan Li Xuan and others have discussed for a long time, so they asked for the decree to change General Zhendong to General Jianwei, add a wait, and take charge of the Yue to pacify the world's military.
According to the ideas of other princes, Zhang Bin, who has hundreds of thousands of troops in the land of the four continents at this time, can start to fight for hegemony in the world, but Zhang Bin doesn't see it that way, he wants to let himself have a stable rear, instead of letting the people fight everywhere when they are still hungry, not to mention that at this time, Zhao Yun has just destroyed Sanhan, and hundreds of thousands of stick sisters have been sent to the mainland to be assigned to the sergeants;
He needs to settle down for a while, and after the army is integrated, he will destroy Qiang Hu Xianbei, so that he will have time to advance the Central Plains to take the world in one go.
In Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Prefecture, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, who had just been appointed as Qingzhou Mu, met Zhang Bin for the first time, and there was an old woman on the side.
"I have heard for a long time that Kong Wenju is kind and honest, although Zhang Bin still needs a lot of help from Wenju, Qingzhou General Ma Yuanyi, and Qingzhou Military General Chen Gong will be your helpers to control the place, those unkind and unrighteous families will be resolutely eliminated, and the benevolent or non-notorious families will be carried out according to my previous arrangement."
Kong Rong is a literati, and his role is to gather more scholars for Zhang Bin's use, just like Cai Yong, who cultivated talents for Zhang Bin in Jizhou, their role is more for ordinary scholars, rather than those wealthy families, he nodded and said:
"The general's order, Wen Ju will definitely follow it, it is said that the general has commanded more than 500,000 troops, which can be described as the largest prince in the world, but why didn't the general go to Chang'an to rescue the emperor's hundreds of officials?"
"Brother Wenju, your ancestor was Confucius, and the master passed on seventy-two disciples, all of whom are talents with both literature, but do you know why Confucianism makes people obey discipline, and in the end the world is still in chaos?" Zhang Bin smiled without answering.
Confucian Confucianism heirlooms, but unfortunately some idealized places let them fall into the confinement of feudal foolishness, unable to get rid of foolishness, the dogma of foolishness in Confucianism is one of the biggest tumors that poison the people, which has become even worse with Dong Zhongshu and Zhu Xi tampering with Confucianism again;
Zhang Bin knew that the poison of Confucianism in the world was even more deep-rooted, so he didn't want this late Han Dynasty plane to become a foolish and loyal to an emperor and a backward era of the imperial court, but Kong Rong thought for a while and shook his head and said:
"A gentleman learns the six arts, but if you want to talk about the world, the Legalists and Legalists of the year have more right to speak, but it is a pity that the Qin Emperor burned books and pit Confucianism to destroy hundreds of schools in this dynasty, and everyone no longer knows why."
Zhang Bin said in a deep voice:
"The root cause of the chaos in the world is that the people have no food, no place to live and are constantly exploited and oppressed, and the landlords of the family and the countless corrupt officials are the main culprits who make the people fall into misery;
Often these people learn etiquette but are rude, understand the law but ignore the law, know the world and ignore the world, are greedy and domineering for themselves, the family is powerful and annexes the land for their own greed, and the officials and businessmen exploit the people for profit, and the root of all this is in the court;
The reason why I say this is that if the imperial court always cares only about the officials and merchants of the family, then the suffering of the people will always exist, and the rebellion of the people will not be broken;
In that year, Xia Ji was corrupt, Yin Shang was in turmoil, the weekend was degenerate, and the Spring and Autumn Period were selfish, until the unification of Qin, but because the first emperor was eager for quick success and quick profit, the people were not happy, and the uprisings of Xiang Yu and Gaozu at the end of the Han Dynasty were not for this, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were in turmoil, and the princes were known as Xiangning, have you ever thought about this sentence carefully?"
