Chapter 955: Impact
Zhuge Liang asked the family for a large amount of money and grain in Liang County to support the Northern Expedition, which caused an uproar in the entire Heluo area.
The main reason is that Zhuge Liang wants a little too much.
In these years, the family can survive, and they have some of their own ways of survival.
Before the enemy army has captured the city, most of the families will not express their position, but if the enemy army has captured the city, then whether they are willing or unwilling, they have to "eat pot pulp" to express it.
Therefore, when Zhuge Liang led his troops into Liang County, the clans of Liang County had collectively made up a sum of money and food to dedicate to the Han Dynasty.
At that time, in order to show that he was a teacher of justice, Zhuge Liang naturally would not accept these so-called money and food, and then under the harmonious atmosphere of everyone, these families could be regarded as "returning to the Han Dynasty".
But now, this Zhuge Liang doesn't talk about virtue, and he actually gathered all the big families again, saying that there was a shortage of grain and grass on the front line, and he hoped that these big families could provide some grain and grass to alleviate the army's Northern Expedition.
Well, if it's just like this, the big families won't have any opinions, and it should have been the blood, so they took out the grain and grass from the last "Qi Eating Pot Pulp" again.
But this time, Zhuge Liang still confiscated it.
It's not that you don't, it's that you're not satisfied. This time, Zhuge Liang should be able to support an army of 70,000 and use grain and grass for a month.
This is going to kill the Liang County family.
Although Liang County is located in Henan County, not far from Luoyang, but in these years, all the families with some ability, either go to Yingchuan or go to Luoyang to stay in Liang County, in the entire Heluo area, they are simply small and medium-sized families that cannot be ranked.
In other places, they may be called a great family, but in the Heluo area, they are just a "strong man".
No matter how many "heroes" make up, they can't make up the grain and grass that the 70,000 army needs for a month, okay, in fact, it's not that they can't make it up, but if they make it up, it will hurt their muscles and bones, and no one wants to be this wronged leader.
Therefore, it is all kinds of complaints, all kinds of pleas. But Zhuge Liang didn't care, so he gave these families ten days to prepare grain and grass.
If it can't be prepared, it will be dealt with by military law.
Well, there is no joke in the army.
At the beginning, these powerful families really didn't take Zhuge Liang's words seriously, on the one hand, they were looking for various reasons to shirk, and on the other hand, they were looking for people to intercede with each other, and even asked for Hongnong Yang's head.
Liang County also has a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and the heritage of the fourth and third princes is so strong.
And Hongnong Yang, in the process of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, also made great contributions, without the help of Hongnong Yang, the Northern Expedition division wants to fight Hongnong, it is almost impossible.
Therefore, the head of the Yang branch in Liang County relied on this and tried to bargain with Zhuge Liang.
The head of the Yang family also had no brains, he never thought that he would take the initiative to send it to the door, and what would happen to him. Zhuge Liang was worried that he couldn't find the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey, so he sent it to the door himself.
But if this branch head of the Yang clan can speak in a slightly better tone, intercede with Zhuge Liang in a negotiated way, and then pay a little price to exchange with Zhuge Liang. That Zhuge Liang may look at the face of Hongnong Yang's family, even if he doesn't spare other Liangxian families, at least the Yang family can avoid this experience.
But this one wanted to use the name of the fourth and third duke of the Yang family to suppress Zhuge Liang, and at the same time emphasized the contribution of Hongnong Yang in this Northern Expedition, and said the stupid words of "If it is not for my Yang family, you will have today".
At the beginning, Xu You dared to say this, it was because he thought that he and Cao Cao were old iron, and it was after Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu. The overall situation has been decided, and it is not easy to refute what Cao Cao said, after all, it is indeed a great achievement.
But now, the Han is still attacking Luoyang, and the overall situation is undecided, so you run out to seize the credit, what do you think about the soldiers who are fighting on the front line? !
Zhuge Liang couldn't bear this, and he didn't have any friendship with Hongnong Yang, but in the same way, Zhuge Liang didn't do anything to stop him from disturbing the morale of the army in front of the army, and directly detained the head of the Yang family.
First, this goods in the province are shouting everywhere, disturbing the morale of the army, and second, there is also a "Xu Chu" in the province's own army Zhuge Liang is not Cao Cao, he is strict in governing the army, and he will not acquiesce in this kind of thing.
Therefore, the detention is, to a certain extent, also the protection of the head of the Yang family.
But money and food, that is a number does not change, it should be given back.
But Zhuge Liang's act of detention has directly detonated the entire Liang County for many years, and the head of the family has entered the cell, how many years has this not happened? !
One thing to say, these big families are really under the soft rule of Cao Wei, and they are a little uninformed.
However, Zhuge Liang's detention of the head of the Yang family still spread at a very fast speed.
Don't look at Luoyang as a war zone now, but for these families, it is not difficult to pass on the news, and soon, not only Liang County, but also other surrounding counties, and even Hongnong County, also heard the news.
At this time, someone stood up, hoping that Yang Bing, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, would take the initiative to come forward and talk to Zhuge Liang. The head of your Yang clan's branch family has been detained, this is a slap in the face of your Hongnong Yang family, you should react to this, right?!
Yang Bing was depressed.
Yes, he Yang Bing is not capable and courageous enough, compared with his brother Yang Biao, he is inferior in all aspects.
But he Yang Bing is not brain-dead.
In the battle of Hanzhong that year, Cao Cao casually found an excuse to kill Yang Xiu, and when he came back, he slapped Yang Biao in the face, what was Yang Biao's reaction at that time? !
That's my own son!!
Now people are also people with the handle of the knife in their hands, how can you let Yang Bing react!!
Yang Bing is not capable enough, not stupid. Besides, it's not just taken into custody, but also killed!!
Yang Bing was not moved at all, did not say a word, and the entire Hongnong Yang family closed the door.
But in private, he hurriedly sent someone to communicate with the people of the Yang family in Liang County. Give enough money and food, and then go to Zhuge Liang to make amends, Zhuge Liang should release people.
After all, Zhuge Liang is not Cao Cao, and he will not do things perfectly.
As for the loss of your Liang County separation. Yang Bing can only say that this is all your idiot family owner's own fault.
Hongnong's own family has already chosen to take refuge in the Han Dynasty, and now we can only hope that the Han will capture Luoyang, otherwise when Cao Wei comes back, do you think we can still have a good life? !
Don't say that I want you a little money and food, I want the full support of your family to smash the pot and sell iron, and you don't have a choice, you know?!
You idiot is still working against the big man for a little money and food, if you don't clean you up, who will clean up!!
If you want to live, you will fully support all Zhuge Liang's actions, and next time, then don't blame my family for not saving you.
As Yang Bing was unmoved, it was as if nothing had happened, and the Yang family of Liang County vomited blood within ten days, and the head of the Yang family of Liang County was released by Zhuge Liang after collecting enough of the share of military food that the Yang family needed to bear.
Now the rest of the Liang County families are not singing, and the Yang family vomited blood and passed the test, but they haven't yet.
And the Yang clan of Liangxian County, and even the entire Hongnong Yang clan have softened, what can they do. Hurriedly went to meet Zhuge Liang, said all the good things, asked for grace, and then began to smash pots and sell iron to raise money and grain, preparing to support the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty.
There is one thing to say, Zhuge Liang didn't expect it, but in half a month, these Liang County families can really make up an army of 70,000 and a month's military rations.
Zhuge Liang didn't dare to think that if things developed to the point of last resort, Sima Yi would also torture the Luoyang family in the same way. Can this Luoyang City have any hope of being captured?!
You know, what is the scale of the family in Liangxian County, and what is the scale of the family in Luoyang City. It's not a grade at all.
Even if Zhuge Liang really besieged the city for a year, if Sima Yi was in a hurry, it was estimated that he would be able to survive with the grain stored by these big families, and he would not be able to wait for the moment when Sima Yi surrendered with all his food.
At this point, Zhuge Liang really doesn't regret that he didn't do it, and even Zhuge Liang didn't know how much energy these families hid.
Sure enough, what Yuan Chang said was right, these big families can't let them continue to be so presumptuous.
And Zhuge Liang's engagement in Liang County not only made the clans near Liang County frightened, but even the clans in Hongnong, Luoyang, and even Hedong began to have serious resistance to the Han Northern Expeditionary Army.
The attitude of these clans towards the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Han Dynasty was actually not too bad, and they always felt that no matter who captured Luoyang and finally ruled the place, they would always be inseparable from the support of the clans.
But now Zhuge Liang is doing such a thing. The clans felt that it would be better for the Great Wei to rule the Heluo region.
Of course, the family of these years has experienced the baptism of war for more than 30 years, and those who can survive are basically human spirits.
Although their hearts are inclined to Cao Wei, they will not bet directly at this time, they just took the initiative to find Sima Yi and expressed their willingness to provide Sima Yi with a certain degree of financial support, but for other support, these families will not make it easy.
Giving money and food, on the one hand, is to block Sima Yi's mouth, hoping that Sima Yi will not follow the same example, and will not learn well like Zhuge Liang opposite. On the other hand, a little money and food support is a common thing in this troubled era, even if it is the Han who takes Luoyang in the future and wants to settle accounts after the autumn, this cannot be regarded as evidence that the Heluo family has turned its back on the Han.
It's a last resort, and it's understandable.
Sima Yi was a little surprised when he suddenly received such a sum of money and food support, but after figuring out the intentions of the family, he was a little unhappy.
Yes, the money and food were sent, but these families also put forward a condition in private - can they repel the Shu thieves as soon as possible and protect the territory and the people? !
In other words, these big families hope that Sima Yi can take the initiative to end the war as soon as possible.
This is something that Sima Yi is quite hesitant about.
