Chapter Ninety-Nine: Dingdai Goes to Zhongshan
Liu Tianhao led the army to scare away the Xianbei cavalry, because the snow was closed, Liu Tianhao did not pursue the Xianbei cavalry, and entered the county seat of Dedai.
Due to the tragic killing of the county guard by the Xianbei cavalry, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the city cannot be without a guard for a day, Liu Tianhao temporarily took the post of the county guard on behalf of the county under the "earnest plea" of a group of landlords and gentry and low-level officials in the city!
On the one hand, Jia Xu was arranged to appease the wealthy gentry and poor people in the city, and to stabilize the order; On the one hand, he ordered Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others to repair the city, defend Daijun, and prevent Xianbei from coming again.
Two days later, a group of more than a dozen heralds marched out of Daijun and went to He Miao's mansion in Luoyang to report Xianbei's attack on Daijun!
Jia Xu personally drafted the general text, bluntly saying that the Xianbei barbarians did not think about the pain of being slaughtered before, although they no longer harassed the counties of Yanmen and Yunzhong in the north of Bingzhou, but turned to attack Youzhou Daijun and Shanggu, and the barbarians were quite powerful, and tens of thousands of cavalry were like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, harassing the surrounding areas of Daijun, and even thieves dared to attack the county town of Daijun, kill the county guard of Daijun, and loot the treasury; Fortunately, Liu Tianhao, the general of Pingbei in the clouds, led the army to first aid, and the Xianbei group of thieves retreated, but the thieves did not flee away, but only patrolled the grassland in the north of Daijun, as if they wanted to choose the opportunity to commit it again!
In this way, Liu Tianhao asked the Son of Heaven to appoint the Pingbei army to be stationed in Daijun, and form a formation of heaven, earth and man with Yunzhong and Yanmen. At the same time, please send a document to the Youzhou Thorn History Mansion to give Liu Tianhao's army full support in the supply of grain, grass and baggage!
It is also known as the county town, and more than 300 wealthy gentry jointly recommended the talented Jia Cai as the county guard, and handled the government affairs of the county with the peace of the subjects!
The soldiers who went to Luoyang, in addition to carrying the text, also carried a private letter, but they informed the director of the Mijia shop in Luoyang City to prepare gold, silver, copper coins, silk and satin, and present the He brothers and the harem eunuchs to show Liu Tianhao's little heart!
For more than ten days in a row, there was no abnormality in the day of the county, but at night, Xianbei in the north of the city came with fire, showing off his might, as if he was planning to attack the county at night, Liu Tianhao led the natives in the city, the gentry and the wealthy families to watch, and there were not many soldiers and horses outside the city in the dark night, but the fire was flickering, and people were neighing on their horses; Occasionally, the thieves outside the city will also try to attack the city, but they are repelled by Liu Tianhao's orders to the defenders!
At that time, Jia Xu wantonly excluded dissidents in the city, gathered his henchmen, and today he found a document of Xianbei in the house of the second big landlord of Wang Er, and tomorrow Xianbei outside the city shot into the silk silk to inform Zhang Sanye to open the city gate at night; In this way, for more than ten days, Daijun never stopped cutting off his head every day, and in the end, the whole city no longer had any objection to Liu Tianhao, and they were all angry with Liu Tianhao; Those who knew the times not only saved their lives, but also took the place of those who had been killed in battle or executed for collaborating with the enemy.
The income from the seizure of the house was divided among the soldiers of the whole army and the poor people in the city, and the land was divided between the government and the landlords and gentry who surrendered to the city; Liu Tianhao even ordered the whole army to have no offense with Minqiu, and not to rob the people and landlords!
Half a month later, Daijun was completely in the hands of Liu Tianhao!
On the night of the same day, the Xianbei cavalry came to invade again, Liu Tianhao ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead 3,000 troops, and went out of the city overnight to attack the thieves.
For two days, the 3,000 army led by Tai Shi Ci did not return to Dai County, until the third day, in the afternoon, only came from the northern grassland, but captured more than 1,000 people and horses in Xianbei, after Liu Tianhao's coercion and temptation, Xianbei generals led their troops to surrender Liu Tianhao, incorporated into the Dai County City Army, and changed the armor and weapons of the Han army.
Thousands of subjects in the county town of Daijun chanted Liu Tianhao's name and cheered to celebrate Tai Shi Ci's solution to the Xianbei disturbance of the city!
In the midst of cheers, Liu Tianhao introduced Jia Cai, who had just come with Tai Shici, Ju Yi, and Hu Che'er, to the officials of Dai County, and Dai County was not short of clever and intelligent people, Jia Cai, Jia Xu, Ju Yi and Hu Che'er led the Xianbei cavalry only disturbed but did not kill, and then abruptly surrendered Liu Tianhao, so many signs, vaguely let them guess a little bit of cattiness.
However, everyone was silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb, after all, not only did they have nothing to lose in this, but they also gained some benefits together; What about rebellion? The blood of the great clans who resisted before has not dried up on the ground, and the extra soil in their own family is also obtained from those dead people; Come to think of it, it's better to be alive!
Jia Xu kills people without blinking, so what about Jia Cai, whose name sounds so intriguing? The officials of Daijun City, when they knew that Jia Cai was about to become the Daijun County Guard, they all clapped their hands and praised and flattered, and patted their chests to express their support for the new Daijun Taishou!
Liu Tianhao did not completely put his mind at ease, and in front of everyone, he ordered Guan Yu to be the main general of the city guard, and Ju Yi and Hu Che'er to assist Guan Yu in managing the military affairs of the county; He also asked Guan Yu and Jia Cai to cooperate with each other and manage the military and political affairs of the county!
Daijun, a group of local heroes, finally knew that whether it was Guan Yu or Jia Cai, they were all Liu Tianhao's people; Some people with active minds have quietly extinguished some of the thoughts that flashed in their hearts, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and enjoy happiness seriously!
On the first day of the second lunar month, Liu Tianhao only took Lu Bu, Tai Shici, Jia Xu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and more than 20 personal guards, traveled lightly, pretended to be a business traveler, left Daijun, and went straight to Zhongshan Country bordering Daijun!
Along the way, Liu Tianhao and others did not rush to the road, but just walked and looked at the customs and customs along the way, Jizhou was one of the rich and famous counties in the world, and it could even be comparable to Yi and Xu Erzhou, however, the Han Dynasty was corrupt, up to the ministers of the Son of Heaven, down to the landlords, all of them harsh the people, strict and heavy labor, as the lowest poor people, after a year of hard work, after paying the court taxes and landlord rent, the remaining food was almost impossible to make ends meet, and there was no family planning in this era, even if it was a poor people, As long as you get married and start a family, you will inevitably have several descendants, and the way of humanity cannot be stopped, and there will inevitably be an increase in population!
However, the real social situation is that the wealthy landlords and bureaucratic gentry, who are the ruling class of the bureaucracy, wantonly oppress and exploit the people, forcing the people to live in misery, suffering unspeakably, not having enough to eat in farming, and having no money to treat diseases, so they have voted for Zhang Jiao's Taiping Taoism!
The Taiping Taoist code is called the Taiping Qing Lingshu, which was originally compiled by the old Taoist priest Yu Ji, and he also got it from elsewhere, which is an ordinary religious propaganda book, which talks about nothing more than setting up a god and persuading people to be good, and those who believe in it will have eternal life, and those who do not believe will be destroyed! This book is just a repackaging of the traditional Lao Tzu Taoist thought, and the Taiping Qing Lingshu itself is not so terrible!
It's terrible, it's scary, it's in a time when it shouldn't be! Yu Ji originally dedicated this book to the Eastern Han court, intending to seek some rewards, but he didn't expect that the Han Dynasty admired Confucianism, and it was not too much Taoist classics at all. So, the imperial court didn't care about this book, and it didn't ban it!
I don't know how, this book reached the hands of the three Zhang Jiao brothers! Zhang Jiao, who was born as a farmer, knows the hardships of farmers, knows a little bit of writing, knows a little about medical divination, and his mind is also easy to use. After getting the book Taiping Qing Lingdao, after reading it carefully, a flash of inspiration, oh my mother, the things in this book are too compatible with the current social situation of the Han Dynasty! If you play this book, it will definitely have unlimited potential customers!
So, Zhang Jiao pulled the big pole, pulled the big flag, boiled the charm water to help the world, preached the doctrine to confuse the public, and established Taiping Taoism under the nose of the Han Dynasty!
To say that Zhang Jiao's purpose of establishing Taiping Taoism is actually similar to Zhang Daoling's Wudou Rice Sect at the beginning, fooling people, enjoying the fun of being worshipped, and seeking some personal gain by the way!
To Zhang Jiao's surprise, after more than ten years of business by the three brothers, more and more believers followed the Taiping Dao, even as many as hundreds of thousands, covering the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan, accounting for almost three-quarters of the country at that time.
In order to defect to Zhangjiao, many people did not hesitate to sell their property, traveled thousands of miles, scrambled to be the first, and the followers were crowded, and it is said that more than 10,000 people were trampled to death halfway.
Now that the New Year has passed, it is only a year before the Yellow Turban Uprising in history, as the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, Jizhou is already overcrowded, and the population density even exceeds that of Sili, where the national capital Luoyang is located!
Although the great uprising is still breaking out, and most of the Yellow Turban tribes are lurking according to Zhang Jiao's intentions, there will still be groups of poor people who will occupy the mountains and forests and rob passing merchants and travelers!
Near the end of the evening, Liu Tianhao and others entered the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, but on the mountain and forest trail of a small branch at the foot of Taihang Mountain, they met a dozen or so thieves who were besieging three or five people, and those three or five people were all dressed as businessmen!
There are so many injustices in the world, but since he has encountered it, Liu Tianhao naturally wants to take care of it, looking at the people around him, and then at the grass robbers who are besieging those businessmen, Liu Tianhao said to the twenty or so guards behind him, "A few of you, go up and capture those thieves!" Remember, just capture, don't hurt them! ”
Liu Tianhao's twenty or so personal guards were originally born as thieves, but since they were captured by Tai Shici and Xu Chu in Qian County, they have long been bleached!
Therefore, they now look down on thieves very much, because the identity of thieves will faintly reveal their past scars; Just now, Liu Tianhao asked more than 20 of them to come forward to fight those thieves, and they are going to vent and show off their might!
However, as soon as he heard Liu Tianhao's drinking order, the twenty or so guards suddenly deflated!
