Chapter 144: Save Chang Shan

The name Chu Yan, Liu Jian naturally knows, and he also knows that this person will be in Taihang, Hebei Province in the future, and he is one of the few thieves in the late Han Dynasty who competes for the world as a thief, and he is also one of Yuan Shao's strongest opponents in addition to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan.

What is more interesting is that after Chu Yan surrendered to Cao Cao, he was named the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion by the imperial court.

I don't know if Cao Cao at that time did it on purpose, and transferred the Anguo Pavilion Marquis Shiyi, who had been in the family of the third prince of the fourth dynasty for three generations, to Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao's rival in Hebei.

Today's Zhang Yan is not as famous as when he was Montenegro in history, he is young at this time, not as old as Liu Jian, but in the land of Zhending, he also has some prestige.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ties between the counties and townships became closer and closer, especially in the land of Jizhou and Youzhou, not only the Haoyou and the Wang clan contacted and colluded with each other, even if the manor farmers with a little prestige in the township would also connect with each other and do things together, so the cohesion of the township was unprecedentedly strong.

Especially in Jizhou, because of the particularity of its region, this situation is more obvious than that of other states and counties.

However, the cohesion of the families in the township is strong, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that once something happens, all the families in the township are united, the cohesion is unprecedentedly strong, and the neighbors are united, as long as there is a suitable leader, the efficiency of handling things in the village is extremely high.

Everything is two-sided, and all ethnic groups in the township have also responded to the saying that water can carry a boat and overturn a boat.

That is, when dealing with the officials appointed by the imperial court to the local area, their cohesion is also unprecedentedly strong.

Throughout the counties of the Han Prefectures, there are many examples of townships uniting together to expel local officials.

After all, the system of the three mutual laws is there, and the officials who come to the local area from other counties and counties have just arrived in the local area without any support, and if the Taishou or the county magistrate wants to gain a foothold in the local area, they must form a good local family!

This is not a rule that cannot be shaken, but a means to be sent to local officials.

And among the big counties, once the Gaomen family unites, they have enough energy to drive two thousand stones out of the county.

And those small and powerful landlords in the small county town, if there is enough prestige to take the lead, they can unite with all families, widely recruit the Li Shu who are in the group, and go by county magistrates and county lieutenants.

In addition, there is also a point that is very dangerous to hold too tightly in the township, that is, a situation like Chu Yan!

Once they rebel, they can also respond to every call, and it is difficult to contain their momentum.

Obviously, Chu Yan is a somewhat famous figure in Zhending County, otherwise it would be impossible to climb to the heights and raise a team of more than 10,000 people in a short time.

Change to a fool who everyone doesn't know and shout, and someone immediately twists him to the official office.

But even if Chu Yan has a team of 10,000 people, in Liu Jian's eyes, it is just a small fight after all, as long as his soldiers and horses stationed in Nangong County arrive, there is no need for more, as long as 2,000 soldiers, it is enough to give Chu Yan, a rebel team of 10,000 people, to clean up and obey.

Facing Liu Wei, the king of Changshan, and himself with the surname Liu, and begging him so lowly, Liu Jian felt that he should also help him and continue to improve his status and prestige among the Liu clan.

Maybe at some point, he will become the leading figure among the Liu clan.

On the second day after the banquet in the palace, Liu Jian ordered Cheng Pu to return to Nangong County to send a thousand sharp soldiers to Changshan first to help the king of Changshan suppress the bandits.

The reason why only 1,000 soldiers and horses were transferred was also because Liu Wei and Sun Jin, the prime minister of Changshan State, had been saying that they didn't want to make too much trouble, and as soon as the Yellow Turban was pacified, Changshan Guo had a problem, and it was really difficult to explain to the imperial court.

Liu Jian also understands this.

But God played a big joke on them.

The more Liu Wei and Sun Jin tried to be careful, the bigger the matter seemed to be.

Before Cheng Pu returned to Nangong, the monk Shangtai of the four mansions of Luoyang took down the official letter at the same time, and the Jizhou North Pastoral Envoy and the Jizhou Eastern Pastoral Envoy Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo sorted out the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and went to Hedong County to station, waiting for the transfer.

At the same time, there are also Sanhe armor soldiers under Liu Jian, who also go with them, and conquer for the imperial court at any time.

Although the imperial court did not explicitly say what the purpose of suddenly transferring the soldiers and horses of the three Zhonglang generals and the two Zhonglang generals to Hedong was carried out, Liu Jian knew in his heart that it must be the beginning of the rebellion on the Jincheng side of Liangzhou.

A large-scale rebellion no less than the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, and this time the momentum will definitely be pressed against Guanzhong.

However, even if there is no rebellion, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo will go down from the position of the state pastor sooner or later, and everyone will not be able to sit in the position of Jizhou pastor for long.

However, the monks of the four prefectures of Luoyang and Shang Shutai took down the official letter at the same time, which means that the Sanhe soldiers stationed in Nangong County will all go to the northwest battlefield, which means that from this moment on, Liu Jian will not be able to transfer the Sanhe soldiers to Changshan to suppress the thieves.

It stands to reason that Liu Jian, as a pastoral envoy, still has the power to mobilize the soldiers of the Jizhou Assassin History Department, but now there is a problem, that is, after the Yellow Turban raised the army, the soldiers and generals of the original Jizhou Assassin History Department were killed by Zhang Jiao cleanly, and there was not even a hair left for Liu Jian.

It is not impossible for Liu Jian to reorganize the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou Assassin History Department now, but the problem is that it takes time to organize the soldiers and horses, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Liu Wei and Sun Jin really can't wait.

And from a personal point of view, Liu Jian didn't want to bother organizing the assassination of the history troops in Jizhou.

If nothing else, he can't do it for a few days, once Liu Hong transfers him back to Luoyang, the soldiers of the assassin history department he organized will be transferred by the next assassin history, which is a good thing for others in vain.

Hearing that Liu Jian couldn't transfer troops, Liu Wei and Sun Jin hurriedly ran to Liu Jian, shouting "Uncle Fang's help" with tears in their eyes.

Sun Jin doesn't care about it, it has nothing to do with him, but looking at Liu Wei's unproductive energy, Liu Jian really wants to give him a kick for his ancestors.

But after all, it's just a matter of thinking, and it's impossible to really kick him.

After all, the princes and kings are really pitiful enough, and if they are bullied again, Liu Jian will not be able to do it.

The princes and kings of the Han Dynasty lacked love, so they had to care for them, inspire them with warm words, and let their broken hearts be well regulated.

"King, why don't I send troops to the surrounding counties to help?" Liu Jian said with a pleasant face.

When Liu Wei heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said that he was resolute not to do it.

He sobbed and said: "Uncle Fang, if you transfer soldiers and horses from other counties, then the matter of thieves in Changshan will be known to others. ”

Looking at Liu Wei's unproductive appearance, Liu Jian really had a headache.

He rubbed his temples helplessly.

"Didn't the king think about it, if he didn't transfer troops from other counties, once Chu Yan's thieves became bigger, I was afraid that the king's feudal country would still be difficult to preserve."

Liu Wei was full of grievances: "It's a matter of hiding it for a while." ”

Liu Jian was speechless.

can say such things, but how far has this King of Changshan gotten to the point of being a bag?

Rao is Sun Jin, who was in the same period as Liu Wei, was a little red when he heard this.

"King, I have no soldiers and no generals in Changshan Country, and the elite of Sanhe in Liu Fangbo's hands has also been transferred back to Hedong by the imperial court for another use, if I don't transfer troops from other counties, I'm afraid that Chu Yan's power will surely flourish,"

"This person is less than double ten, but he can pull up a team of more than 10,000 people in just a few months.

"If it is postponed for a year or two, I am afraid that it will be possible for 100,000 people,"

"At that time, I'm afraid that it will really shake the Jingshi, and Your Majesty won't be able to ask the king who is guilty."

Liu Wei said miserably: "Xiangguo said this, why is he just thinking about himself? But you never thought that the widow had abandoned the country before the moth thief uprising, and now that Chu Yan is strong, if the court investigates deeply, it will ask the widow about the crime of abandoning the country in the past, so that the widow is not in danger of his life......"

"Enough!"

Liu Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore, his face turned cold, and he said: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Incident, the king was afraid that the moth thieves would be difficult to abandon the country and leave, but what did he think? The cause and effect are all planted by the king himself! Even if the court punishes the king, what's wrong? ”

"Nearly 400 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, when did the surname Liu become so cowardly? A few waves of thieves, the king will be made six gods without a master, three souls and seven spirits are lost, my Han army in the middle of the army is not afraid of death in the face of traitors, only the king can not die? ”

"The king is the grandson of the Liu family, and he can't set an example for the people, how can he still be so greedy for life and afraid of death, it is really a loss of Han family integrity!"

Liu Wei was reprimanded by Liu Jian, his face was red, but he was surprisingly angry, and he didn't refute.

To tell the truth, it is not new for the princes and kings to be reprimanded by successive ministers in the local area in recent years.

Liu Wei reigned for thirty-two years, and was replaced by the imperial court with eleven ministers, five of whom scolded him in front of him.

Therefore, King Changshan is still quite resistant to scolding, he is used to it.

In the face of Liu Jian's scolding, Liu Wei just cried, but then saw him making a long salute at Liu Jian.

"The widow admits that he is out of moderation, and the widow admits that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, is it wrong for the widow...... Uncle Fang, save Changshan, save the widow! ”

Liu Jian let out a long sigh.

How do you feel that between these two or three punches, all of them hit the cotton?

It's really a product that doesn't buy oil and salt.

Muddy is mud after all, and no matter how you support it, you can't support the wall.

Liu Jian turned his head to look at Sun Jin, but saw that his face was red and his ears were red, and he was obviously disgusted by Liu Wei.

"Sun Xiang, that Chu Yan started from Zhending, and since he has gathered more than 10,000 people, has Zhending County ever been lost?"

Sun Jin sighed: "Although the situation is dangerous, it has never been lost, just because there is a local spontaneous rebel army in Zhending County, which has blocked the thieves from outside the county." ”

"Oh? Rebel? ”

Liu Jian touched his chin and pondered: "In this case, if the country can fund it, provide the rebel army armor, and expand its ranks, it is not a bad way to block Chu Yan from Changshan abroad." ”

Sun Jin was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Righteous army? The rebels have no regular armaments, and they have not been trained and drilled, so they can be used as regular soldiers to suppress the bandits? ”

Liu Jian said seriously: "How can it not be used?" In the past, the moth thieves rose up, and the disaster affected Ji, You, my brother Liu Xuande organized the rebel army in his hometown to stick to the county, until the moth thief was extinguished, and the yellow turban never defeated Zhuo County, if the rebel army was good, there was really no need to dispatch soldiers from neighboring counties! ”

When Sun Jin heard this, he realized.

Liu Jian was thinking about another thing.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there were many powerful apprentices and people, at this juncture, no one dared to blatantly directly organize them into private soldiers, annex land to annex land, and expand strength to expand strength, but whoever dared to organize an army without the instruction of the imperial court would die.

Liu Jian has already made up his mind to decentralize himself to the local government within three or four years.

And if when it is delegated to the localities, the villagers are re-recruited and the army is formed, it is a new army, and it needs to be re-trained and practiced, and it will still take some time to think about it.

If you start building an army in your hometown now, you will be dying.

However, the rebels used to quell the rebellion seem to be able to play a side-kick.

The so-called rebel army is just a kind of local self-protection mechanism that was spontaneously organized in the township when encountering thieves.

Gathering in wartime and scattering farming in leisure time is, in a sense, a side-kick.

Think about it......

If you can master a few so-called rebel armies, and when you are sent to the local area from below, you will have to be voted by the rebels, and then the rebel army will be transformed into a local army in a logical way, wouldn't it save a lot of time?
