Xu Rong's vanguard army finally set off, and they quickly entered the realm of the three rivers.

The number of rebels in the land of the Three Rivers is also very large, although it is not as big as the incident of Li Xianghao, who rose up around Luoyang, but after adding up the rebels in each county, the number of large-scale rebels is estimated to be more than 300,000.

And this is only a rough estimate, if you dig deeper and include all the small branches, it is definitely more than that.

Now, the soldiers and horses of Sun Jian, Huang Zu, Cai Mao and others are fighting against Li Xiang's main rebel army with Luoyang as the center.

The local wang clan was very supportive of the Yuan group, and they generously and selflessly provided them with grain, grass and ordnance.

These aristocratic classes suppressed the ordinary Li Shu very much.

And their methods are also very bloody!

In their opinion, ordinary outcasts, as long as they dare to rebel, should be slaughtered!

After all, in the eyes of these high-ranking clans, these Li Shu and savages are only worthy of being the lowest slaves for them, and only worthy of being squeezed by them.

Now they dared to revolt on a large scale and stretched out their hands to the Wu Fort of the Wang clan.

It's as funny as a sheep wants to eat a wolf, and a deer wants to eat a tiger!

In the eyes of the elites, the uprising of the low-level Li Shu is a kind of contempt for them, a provocation to the system, to the rules of nature!

All of a sudden, in the land of Sizhou, all parts of the country became a hell of slaughter, and the rebel army composed of ordinary outcasts was brutally slaughtered by the Yuan clan supported by the wang clan, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they dared to join the rebel ranks, all of them were killed in a river of blood.

From the octogenarian to the children in the horns, they will not let go!

This matter was decided long before Yuan Shao sent his troops and horses to Sizhou.

He wants to make a deal with the highest local nobles in Sizhou.

Desperately slaughtering these rebellious people is the fastest and most trouble-free way.

At least in Yuan Shao's opinion, that's what happened.

……

In this massacre, Huang Zu and Cai Mao acted more appropriately.

Although they actively communicated with the local nobles and lords in Sizhou, and assessed the rioters on a large scale, their methods of killing were not so hateful and cruel.

The key is Sun Jian's.

Sun Jian really implemented Yuan Shao's orders too thoroughly, or he was such a bloodthirsty figure in the first place.

A character who likes to kill very much.

Sun Jian only fought in the vicinity of Luoyang for less than 30 days, and more than 60,000 civilian rebels died at his hands.

There were even more than 5,000 captives, and after being captured by Sun Jian, they were immediately beheaded by him.

Not bad! Kill and surrender!

In the eyes of these warlords, the surrender between the princes is the surrender,

The rebels cannot be lowered, nor can they be allowed to fall!

These worms are not eligible to descend!

If you dare to rebel, there is only one dead end.

According to the position of a military strategist, Sun Jian's act of killing and surrendering can save the food of his own army, and second, it can also deter the rebels, so that once the rebels encounter their own army, they will not dare to resist, and may even scatter and flee without a battle.

I have to say that his strategy does have his success.

Of course, there are also his failures......

After Sun Jian killed 5,000 prisoners, as long as it was not the regular main army led by Li Xiang, the rest of the civilian troops almost all scattered in panic after seeing Sun Jian's army, and did not dare to confront Sun Jian head-on.

It's a butcher!

Sun Jian's army, as well as Sun Jian's own name as a butcher, spread in the land of Sizhou.

Those lowest-level victims and refugees, when they heard Sun Jian's name, in addition to panic and fear, they were even more hateful.

Of course, this sentiment was also brought to the Yuan family in Runan.

Because Sun Jian is now the vanguard of the Yuan clan in Runan, his behavior in Sizhou naturally represents Yuan Shao's wishes.

This massacre and purge in Sizhou made the Yuan group and the Central Plains and the surrounding ordinary refugees Li Shu become a complete antagonist.

Even ordinary Li Min, who did not rebel, would tremble with fear after hearing about Yuan's reputation.

And after hearing Sun Jian's name, he may even faint directly.

The most terrifying oppression and the most terrifying killing have now all been embodied in Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and other high-ranking figures representing the interest class.

And when there was a bloody storm in the land of Sizhou, Xu Rong's army entered Hanoi County.

At this time, Zhu Jun was already lying on the bed and dying.

According to Han Hao's description of Xu Rong, Zhu Jun was only afraid that his life would be short.

Xu Rong, on behalf of Liu Jian, led Xu Huang and the two generals of Liyi to meet Zhu Jun.

As a military minister who got up from a humble family and went to the present, Zhu Jun's life is not easy.

Although he did not live a miserable life like an ordinary farmer, he was indeed disturbed and hindered by many people belonging to the top families in his career.

Many times, he can only succumb.

A large part of Zhu Jun's ability to get to where he is today is due to luck.

Among the hundred children of the poor family, there may be a lucky person like Zhu Jun.

When he was in Jiangdong, he had seen too many low-level Li Shu leaving their hometowns and being trapped to death because of the selfishness of the high-ranking families, and he had also seen too many homeless people dying in other places because they had no food.

When he fought the Yellow Turban with Huangfu Song for his own merits, he did not show mercy to his subordinates, as if he had forgotten that he had also come from a humble family to today.

But until now, when he was approaching the threshold of life and death, Zhu Jun seemed to be sober.

His heart also began to weaken because of his old age and infirmity.

He grabbed Xu Rong's hand and said hoarsely:

"General Xu, please tell the general...... The biggest mistake in Zhu's life was that he introduced Sun Jian back then, so that he could have the opportunity to assist Yuan. ”

"Now Sun Jian is helping Yuan Shao to abuse and slaughter thousands of Li Shu...... Yes, these Li Shu rebelled against the imperial court, and they were indeed guilty. ”

"However, the evil one is actually the leader of the rebellion, and the ordinary Li Shu is innocent, if he is so good at killing, how many people will be left in Guanzhong and the Central Plains?"

"The current plan is to stabilize people's hearts."

"I also hope that General Xu will tell the general that in the land of three rivers, don't kill too many people."

"If not, it will be a blessing and longevity, just like Zhu."

"Remember, remember!"

When he said this, Zhu Jun lowered his head and coughed, shedding a few tears.

Xu Rong comforted Zhu Jun: "Please rest assured, before I came to Hanoi, the general had already taught us how to do it." ”

"As for the matter of the Land of Three Rivers, we should act in the best way possible."

"We will never kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Those Li people who have been driven to a dead end, as long as they are willing to turn back, we will treat them as good people."

"If you violate this statement, you will not be able to discipline Xu to die."

After Zhu Jun heard Xu Rong's words, he seemed to dare to comfort him.

Xu Rong talked to Zhu Jun for a while, and then withdrew from Zhu Jun's room.

Han Hao accompanied Xu Rong to visit Zhu Jun, and when they walked out of Zhu Jun's room together, Han Hao hurriedly asked:

"What the general said is right, but is it true? The general did have a different idea from the Yuan family for pacifying the Sanhe riots? ”

Xu Rong said with great certainty: "That's right, how can a general act like Yuan Shao?" I also ask Han Jun to work with me to act according to the instructions of the great general. ”

Han Hao hurriedly said: "Han should be on his own. ”

……

……

Subsequently, Xu Rong began to quell the rebellion in the land of the Three Rivers, and his policy of quelling the rebellion was carried out in accordance with Liu Jian's instructions.

The Hebei army did not rush to act against the local displaced people first, Xu Rong and Han Hao, in the name of the general Liu Jian, first issued a notice in the counties of Hanoi:

First of all, the general Liu Jian expressed his understanding of the suffering of the people in Hanoi counties.

The general ordered the land of the Three Rivers to reuse the big money and temporarily abandon the small money in order to achieve stability and longevity.

In addition, the general Liu Jian will also reorganize the land finance in the land of the Three Rivers, so that all the displaced people can once again have land to grow and eat, and promote the Tuntian policy implemented by Hebei in the land of the Three Rivers.

The third thing is that the general Liu Jian will stabilize the grain prices in the land of the three rivers and make the prices tend to normal.

Of course, Liu Jian also has a deadline for the rebellious people in the land of the Three Rivers to return to obedience, if they do not return within the time limit, the Hebei officials and soldiers will not stay, and the most severe sanctions will be imposed on the stubborn.

After the proclamation was issued, it caused quite a stir in the Land of Three Rivers.

Not to mention other things, the most important one of these regulations promulgated by Liu Jian is to directly abolish small money in the land of three rivers.

Although the policy of small money is a bad government, after all, it was directly proposed by the imperial court and implemented by the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Similar to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Jian, although they did not enforce their territory in various places, they all violated the yang and the yin, and secretly resisted.

No one has ever directly raised the court's nots on the surface.

Of course, that's also because of non-compliance.

But now Liu Jian directly repudiated the policy of the imperial court, believing that the government of small money is not good governance, and demanded with great fanfare that all the people in the territory under his jurisdiction should abandon the use of small money and reuse big money.

What will happen to this matter in the eyes of the imperial court?

……

……

Liu Jian's explicit request to ban small money in the land of three rivers, as well as his recital, all arrived in Chang'an one after another.

After Liu Wei learned about this, he was furious.

"Liu Deran treats me like nothing?! How dare you abolish the government in the local area!? ”

In the face of Liu Bian's anger, in the court, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others, represented by the Valve-reading Wang clan, immediately played against Liu Biao and directly attacked Liu Jian.

All the ministers said that Liu Jian was arrogant, did not follow Liu Jian's will in the local area, and went against the imperial court, so he must have the heart of self-reliance.

However, Qingliu, led by Xun You, Liu Biao and others, looked at this issue correctly and spoke to Liu Jian for Liu Jian.

Xun You and others believe that the current situation in Sizhou, including Guanzhong, is too chaotic!

There are too many local rebels.

Dong Zhuo's army is now contained in Liangzhou, and he can't come back to quell the rebellion at all, besides, even if he can come back, but if he doesn't get rid of it, no matter how the rebellious army develops, it may also become a huge disaster to subvert the imperial court!

One is not good, and its scale may be even more terrifying than the original Yellow Turban Army.

Moreover, Xun You and others suspect that now in Guanzhong and Sizhou, there are people who are secretly connecting with local noble clans, inciting local rebellions, and having the heart of subverting the imperial court.

And this force is likely to be the Yuan family.

After Yuan Shao's vanguard army entered Sizhou, he slaughtered the Li people, and in the name of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, he intended to push all the notoriety and evil government to the imperial court.

It's really damning.

And Liu Jian is now not directly saying that the court has shortcomings, but only suspending the new policy of the court.

And Liu Jian acted like this, although he did not have a famous edict from the imperial court, but it was also a full face for the Son of Heaven, after all, now the Son of Heaven does not want to abolish the policy of small money, because he does not want to admit that he has made mistakes.

In this way, the consequences will be borne by Liu Jian alone, which is also a good thing for the imperial court.

Moreover, if Liu Jian does this, it will inevitably conflict with Yuan Shao, but it is better to let Liu Jian do this, but it can stabilize the imperial court.

At this moment, Liu Jian's performance has also arrived in Chang'an.
