The desperation of the trial is only the beginning, and the desperation of the defenders of Yecheng has been going on for a long time.

Most of them were natives of Ye County, and they were all pulled into the city to participate in the war on the grounds of being strong and clear, at first they were just carrying logistics materials, but soon they began to participate directly in the front line.

However, they had little training, the casualty rate was very high, and the resentment against the trial was very deep, especially after the transportation inside and outside Yecheng was cut off, the materials in the city gradually became scarce, the food was fine, and the medicine was seriously insufficient, so the officers could still be treated, and they were injured and sick and waited for death.

And when they learned that reinforcements were impossible, they were the first to collapse emotionally, and they were the first to be unable to continue to endure the status quo.

Before the Han army outside the city came in, the Yuan army in the city began to kill each other, and more and more big soldiers demanded that the city surrender, and asked to go out of the city to obtain freedom and medicine.

In the morning, the news began, and by noon chaos began, and by the afternoon, the city had already begun to fight.

At the beginning, the trial could also mobilize some soldiers and horses to extinguish the rebellion, but soon, the rebellion was like a spark, showing a trend of burning the plain, the defenses inside and outside Yecheng began to collapse, and there were fewer and fewer troops under the command of the trial, and more and more rebels rebelled.

After retreating again and again, he even gave up his own family and let the rebel army rush into his home, while he himself retreated to Yuan Shao's house in Yecheng with the last army, mobilizing the last soldiers and horses to protect the mansion and protect Yuan Shao's family in the mansion.

Despite his sacrifices, he could not resist the onslaught of the rebels, and the mansion was breached.

The trial took the last of his guards and fought and retreated, fighting until the last moment, facing the red-eyed rebels, he killed himself with a desperate knife and ended his life.

After the death of the judge, Yuan Shao's mansion was also occupied, and the sane officers did not let their subordinates kill Yuan Shao's family members who had just been included in the family, but took good care of them, and then surrendered to meet the Han army.

On March 18 of the first year of Jian'an, Yecheng was occupied by the Han army, all the defenders of Yecheng surrendered, the guard general died in the civil strife, Yuan Shao's family was all captured, and Dong Zhuo, the governor of Qingzhou, Liu Yu and the Yanzhou assassin Qiaoqiao entered the city together, and achieved this victory together.

After the victory in the Battle of Yecheng, the resistance of the last formed Yuan Shaosuo's army also ended, and the Jizhou Rebellion came to an end.

The battle, with the crusade against Yuan Shao as its core objective, ended with the victory of the Central Han Army.

The rebellion with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu as the core came to an end, and the aftermath of the coup d'état was officially put down by Liu Bei, the trusted ruler of the Luoyang court, a year later.

The final pacification of this rebellion also further revealed the final establishment of the system of four auxiliary ministers with Liu Bei as the absolute core in the post-Liu Hong era, and also meant that the system of four auxiliary ministers began to have a certain authority in the whole world.

A new, short-lived, but powerful system has been established, and the order of the Han Empire, which was about to be chaotic, has been re-established under the new system.

History has changed dramatically.

An era has passed, and it will never come back.

Dong Zhuo and others wrote a recital in Yecheng, sent the news to Luoyang, and wrote to Liu Bei to let Liu Bei, who was far away in Youzhou, know about it.

This war is over, and a new era is slowly beginning, and as the helmsman of this new era, Liu Bei knew about it on March 25.

At that time, the administration of Youzhou led by the General's Mansion was running relatively smoothly, and Liu Bei recovered his energy after waking up, leading the work, and using the army and the officials of the General's Mansion to handle affairs, and soon calmed down the situation in Youzhou.

The number of prisoners of war and livestock captured this time was too large, so Liu Bei took a lot of measures and multi-pronged measures, intending to digest these captures as soon as possible and let Youzhou, which had suffered serious blood loss, return to blood.

For the captured and captured livestock, in addition to selling, Liu Bei also used the administrative power of the General's Mansion and the complete county government forces of Shanggu County and Dai County to expedite the construction of pastures directly under the imperial court in the grasslands of northern Youzhou.

It is too wasteful to sell or eat all these livestock, and it should play a greater role, and like Liangzhou, build pastures and manage them, so that they can provide the imperial court with a large number of needed livestock, which is of great significance.

Starting a ranch requires start-up capital, but it also needs people.

They are not short of start-up capital, and a lot of property can be used in this wave of seizures, and then they can allocate a lot of people.

Liu Bei selected people with relevant work experience in Liangzhou from among the officials of the General's Mansion to serve as pasture managers, and then found Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan herdsmen who were willing to obey the management from among the captives, and used them to quickly establish pastures.

For these people, they are treated differently from ordinary captives, who can only eat one simple meal a day to ensure that they do not starve to death, while for these people who work for the government, they can eat two meals a day to ensure that they do not feel serious hunger.

At the same time, Liu Bei also agreed with them that although their current status is slaves, as long as they have worked for Dahan for three years and have not violated any laws and regulations, they can be registered in Youzhou.

Since then, he has become a serious Youzhou Han people, and he has been freed from all kinds of restrictions, no longer a slave, and has freedom.

Of course, during these three years, they only had two meals a day, and nothing else was paid.

Liu Bei swore to abide by the agreement as a general, and then issued a wooden sign to each herdsman who was willing to cooperate, engraved with the date they began working and the date when the term expired in three years, and as long as this date arrived, they could go to the civil affairs department of Youzhou to exchange for Youzhou household registration and become Han Chinese.

Then even if they are employees of the departments directly under the imperial court, they can enjoy the benefits of the corresponding imperial court staff, including monthly salaries, benefits for festivals, and various rewards.

Therefore, as long as you do three years of work honestly, dedicate three years, do not break the law, do not do wrong things, and obey orders, then what will be left to you is a better life in the future.

What do you think?

Not bad, right?

Through this gentle method, groups of high-quality herdsmen in the grassland chose to cooperate with Liu Bei, entered the pastures to work for the Han Empire, doing what they were good at, grazing for the Han Empire, taking care of livestock, and cultivating livestock.

In a relatively short period of time, Liu Bei successfully planned four large-scale pastures, and transferred more than 20,000 experienced and high-quality herdsmen from the captives to cooperate with the empire.

A large number of livestock have also found a place to go, and sustainable development is barely on the way.

And if there is nowhere to go and no buyers in a short time, you can only mobilize the big guys to eat them.

The days of Dunton beef, mutton and horse meat Liu Bei passed for a while, all kinds of tricks turned over and turned upside down, anyway, it was very good, his stomach was full, his strength increased, and he also successfully gave Liu Bei a fire, and drank a few pairs of medicine before pressing it down.

Then, for the other captives, according to the old practice of Liangzhou, the women of childbearing age were selected and included in the household registration, which was used to supplement the number of people with serious blood loss in Youzhou.

The rest were selected, those who had mastered special skills were selected for other uses, and the rest were used as strong laborers to repair and renovate Youzhou, which was badly damaged by construction.

These people on the steppe also mastered some special skills that were meaningful to the Han Empire.

For example, their skills in making food, especially dairy products, will be of great help to Liu Bei's plans for the Northern Expedition in the future, and Liu Bei needs them to provide dairy production techniques to help the Han army update their recipes.

In addition, there are not many skilled craftsmen in the grasslands, but there are also people who can make iron, bronze, gold and silver, and pottery, as well as people who can make bows and arrows.

As well as those who mastered the skills of weaving, craftsmen who mastered the skills of manufacturing leather goods, bone products, etc., which were helpful to the Han Empire, so they were all selected, compiled into the household register, and included in the use.
