The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and the most powerful thing in the world is still the army and the weapons in the hands of the army.

When Cao Ren took the Yingyang army to Shu County with a murderous spirit, those originally arrogant and powerful family forces came to an end.

When Gaowei was most dangerous, Chengdu City was surrounded by water, the traffic inside and outside Chengdu was cut off, food could not enter, and a small food shortage broke out in the city.

Fortunately, there were still a lot of grain reserves in the city, and Gao Wei opened a warehouse to release grain, which stabilized the defenders in the city, did not let Chengdu City be chaotic, and persisted until Cao Ren led the army to arrive.

After Cao Ren arrived with his army, he observed that Chengdu was under threat, so he personally led a thousand cavalry to attack the local tyrant coalition army outside Chengdu.

Just a thousand cavalry crushed more than 20,000 local tyrant coalition troops who threatened Chengdu outside the city, and it took less than half an hour for the battle to be decided.

The army of slaves was not fighting at all.

These slaves are still a little hopeful for burning, killing and looting together, after all, everyone is for themselves, in order to make their lives more comfortable, even if they are slaves, they also have the desire to rob.

But to let the slaves fight with the regular army, that is really too much to think.

In the end, more than 1,000 people chased more than 20,000 people to fight, pressed and beat, chased out of Chengdu City and were seven or eight miles away, killing more than 1,000 people, capturing more than 10,000 people, and achieving a complete victory.

In the next three days, Cao Ren pacified the resistance forces in the surrounding area of Chengdu City and relieved the city of danger.

From early April to mid-to-late April, Cao Ren ordered the army to launch a fierce and brutal liquidation of the rebel forces in Shu County, using the power of blood and fire to promote the implementation of the slave restriction order, and the openly rebellious family was shattered countless times.

Cao Ren is like a fire, he likes to move forward on the battlefield, advocating Zhang Fei's fierce attack, and his favorite general in the army is Zhang Fei, so he is also quite strong and domineering in his style.

There were many families in Shu County who rebelled, and there were even medium-sized families who controlled some salt wells, and they also had some influence on the politics of Shu County.

"Dare to rebel against the slave restriction order today, dare to rebel tomorrow, for those who blatantly rebel and threaten the imperial court, if they can't be wiped out, let the people of the world think that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied, in the future, I don't know what kind of thing will happen!

Gao Fujun, you are too benevolent! The best way to deal with these rebellious rebellions is to kill them all, so that the rest of the people know the consequences of rebelling against the imperial court! This is something that cannot be retreated no matter what, take a step back, and the authority of the imperial court in Shu will not be guaranteed! ”

Cao Ren was somewhat politically conscious, and was very dissatisfied with Gao Wei's conservative style, and announced that he would indiscriminately attack and exterminate the rebels, and would use their heads to tell the Shu people not to go against the imperial court.

Under Cao Ren's ferocious blow, more than 100 large, medium and small families in Shu County were wiped out, including two families engaged in the salt industry.

Their power is very large, and there are more than 1,000 salt workers and slaves in the family, but despite this, in front of Cao Ren, they are the same as paper paste.

The Eagle Yang Army is a newly established new army, with few times on the battlefield and insufficient military experience, but in the end, it is also a well-trained regular army, and all aspects of weapons and equipment are not comparable to the grass platform team in Shudi.

They're basically killing indiscriminately.

Gao Wei was shocked by Cao Ren's ruthless methods, and also shocked by Liu Bei's style of military strongman, but Gao Wei also understood that if Chen Liugao's family wanted to survive well, then he had to stand in Liu Bei's position to do things for him.

Failing to maintain the stability of Shu County was a loss of points, which made Gao Wei a little worried, and he didn't know if Liu Bei would have any bad opinions about him.

But in any case, the rebellion of Shu County did not last long before it was put down, and the situation in the remaining places such as Hanzhong County, Guanghan County and Qianwei County was also very similar.

Some people admit it and are willing to abide by the slave restriction order in exchange for peace of mind, while some people do not admit it and forcibly resist, which finally attracted Liu Bei's army to suppress it strongly.

By mid-to-early May, about 230,000 slaves had been released from these counties in northern Yizhou, and these slaves had not gone elsewhere, but were registered by the government on the spot.

Shu has fertile soil and a lot of good land, but because of the fierce land annexation, the field tax is becoming less and less.

After several civil strife, there was a lot of abandoned land left uncultivated, and Liu Bei asked the government of Shu to organize these slaves, so that they could restore their civil registration and turn into collective farms to restore agricultural production in Shu.

Politically, it's similar to what Gao guessed.

According to this incident, Liu Bei found that some Shu officials were cowardly and unreliable, although they did not oppose Liu Bei, they were willing to carry out his orders, but their abilities were limited.

So Liu Bei decided to transfer a group of officials, including Gao Wei, to Luoyang City as the councilor, and replaced them with the right-hand man around him to take the position of Yizhou.

Liang Hu was so sick that he couldn't play a big role in the whole slave restriction incident, seeing this, Liu Bei simply said to Zhang Rang, and sent his own people to take over Liang Hu's position, so that Liang Hu could return to Luoyang for treatment.

He appointed his important assistant Xun You as the new Assassin of Yizhou, and the post of Taishou of Shu County was entrusted to Cao Ren, so that they could work together to stabilize the situation on the Chengdu Plain and start a new round of collective farm construction in Yizhou.

And, began to extend the government's hand to the well salt in Yizhou.

For Yizhou, it is not just as simple as wanting to do the field, but also a very important link in controlling the salt affairs of Yizhou, and controlling the main part of the salt industry in Yizhou in the hands of the government is Liu Bei's established plan, and the first step is to fight the local powerful forces through the slave restriction order has been successful, and the next step is the second step.

In order to carry out the task of comprehensively controlling the economic lifeline of Yizhou, Liu Bei sent Xun You to Yizhou and handed over this task to Xun You, he believed that Xun You would be able to do this for him.

"It is not an easy thing to control the lifeblood of Yizhou, there will be many people who oppose you, and you will also face some dangers, but I trust you, you will definitely succeed, and if you do this well, I will entrust you with more things."

Xun You did not doubt Liu Bei's words, he knew very well Liu Bei's persistence in this matter, of course he knew that controlling Yizhou's salt affairs and controlling Yizhou's Shu Jin were not the same thing, and it would be very difficult, but he knew that this was an important test.

If successful, it will have a very significant boost to his future career.

In the first half of the third year of Jian'an, Liu Bei launched a new round of slave restriction actions to toss the four states and the people in the court.

The court led by Liu Bei is willing to spend money, and there is enough money to spend, but the money is really not enough, Liu Bei will take out his own small treasury to subsidize the state, anyway, the main principle is that as long as you are willing to do things, there will be no shortage of money.

At present, Liu Bei has effectively become the master of the imperial court.

Since the second year of Jian'an, Liu Bei has become the de facto ruler of the Han Empire, and all government decrees are basically of his will, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are basically following Liu Bei's footsteps.

After decades of absurdity, the court began to transform into a down-to-earth government under Liu Bei's control.
