Zhao An led his war troops to leave, and Liu Tai began to set out to besiege Changyi, the seat of Changping State.

Liu Ming, Liu Yao, Wen Qiao, Xi Jian and others were all in the army camp and began to study the Huan Xuan in front of them.

"King, do you want to look at Changyi first!" Liu Ming asked Liu Tai at this moment.

"No need!" Liu Tai said, "Since the other party has no intention of surrendering to us, and he doesn't come out to attack us, he thinks he is a cautious general."

If we can't take the city after the siege, it will only boost the morale of the other side.

Arrange the soldiers to do a good job of encircling Changyi first, and you lead your headquarters and 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture the rest of Gaoping Kingdom first, which is still the old procedure. ”

"Obey!" Liu Ming replied very simply, but after thinking for a while, he said, "If I take so many soldiers with me, even if the soldiers and horses you leave behind, even if Liu Yao's headquarters are included, there will only be 25,000 soldiers, is it a little too little, I still only bring 5,000 soldiers is enough!" ”

"If you want the people to get their own land, you must give enough force to protect it!" Liu Tai shook his head and said.

"And it's better for Huan Xuan to come out, fewer recruits, more veterans, even if they come to attack us, I'm afraid they won't come back!" Liu Tai said to Liu Ming, full of confidence in his words.

Hearing Liu Tai's words, Liu Ming didn't say anything more.

Because Liu Tai's army was trained to conduct night raids even in normal times, the purpose was to strengthen the resistance of the soldiers to the Xiao camp.

Therefore, if Huan Xuan comes out to fight, then it will make him defeat faster!

When Liu Ming heard Liu Tai's words, he immediately took his soldiers and began to go to the cities around Changyi, and began to fight local tyrants and divide the land.

Of course, it is not quite accurate to say this directly, if after Liu Ming led the army to arrive, the Chengchi County and County surrendered directly, then these local wealthy Liu Tai troops would not move them.

It is only that they will be levied a "conscription tax" and a "thousand field tax", and they will be provided with a certain amount of grain and grass to supply military supplies.

As for the land they occupied, the slaves they owned were still retained after they had been registered.

As for whether they are hidden or not, that is what Gou Chun's tax bureau will do next.

At least on the battlefield, he has defected to Liu Tai's side, so there is no need for benevolence to destroy.

After all, you are all on your side, loyal or not, but at least you are your own.

Since they are their own people, they must talk about evidence in everything they do, rather than directly pacifying them with a large army.

If the local family chooses to resist, they will not accept the "Conscription Tax" and "Qiantian Tax" proposed by Liu Tai.

Then Liu Ming will start to play, "Equal the field, welcome the Han Dynasty, and participate in the government soldiers to get good land." began to call on the people at the bottom to join their own army, and then took advantage of the situation to establish the local government soldier system.

At this time, the people who came directly to join the government soldiers were different from those who waited until after the war to join the government soldiers.

Because the people who now join the government soldiers can directly obtain the fertile land of the landlords, which is the first priority.

After that, the soldiers who followed Liu Tai to attack these cities, but had not yet been assigned fields, if they wanted to settle in the local area, and wanted to directly distribute the local fertile land, they could report it.

If the identity is suitable, plus the field is enough, then divide it into seals, if the field is not enough, then accept the cultivation index or lottery.

If there are none, they will be kept until the next expedition, and they will be ranked in front of the second line.

As for the local soldiers who will join the government soldiers in the future, they can only go to the next place to obtain their own land.

Therefore, the people are hesitant or disbelieve in Liu Ming's slogan, but it is inevitable that someone will always be willing to give it a try.

After all, this return to the arms of the Han Dynasty, for the local people, it is really a slave who has nothing, and has directly become a good family with land and land, for them, what is more rewarding than this.

As Liu Ming really distributed the land that slaughtered the local wealthy families to the hands of the first batch of people who were about to revolt, as Liu Ming walked around like this, there were nearly a thousand more soldiers with strong willpower who wanted to give Liu Tai their lives.

At the same time, with the retired soldiers, or the soldiers who want the local fields to settle in the local area, Liu Tai's control over the local area has directly risen to a level.

At this time, Liu Tai slowly began to fill the soil in Gaochang.

For Liu Tai, after he mastered Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, because of the absolute superiority brought by the cavalry, he would no longer let himself be as restrained as he was dealing with Shi Le and Liu Yao, and he was deeply afraid of being raided by the opponent's cavalry.

At this moment, he has absolute force, so Liu Tai must consider reducing the political influence of the family on the new regime as much as possible in the process of unification and change.

If there is still a system of imperial examinations and examinations to compete with each other in the selection of talents, then at the local level, you must also have a political force, not to mention replacing them, at least to be able to compete with them, rather than letting the wealthy family dominate in the local area.

At least now Liu Tai's selection of the government soldiers who control the fields through violence is very suitable.

In the future, if the military system of the government is really gradually falling into extinction as the development of history, then the military history system that I am now arranging as an observator, as well as the imperial examination jinshi who have been promoted through the appointment and dismissal system, will become a new object of support.

At least in the feudal era when the productive forces were not yet developed, with Liu Tai's IQ, he really couldn't think of any good way to ensure the interests of the people at the bottom.

However, he can install different systems and balances at the grassroots level, so as to avoid the day when the people at the bottom do not come out, so as to ensure the smooth upward channel of the people at the bottom.

To tell the truth, for the people at the bottom, they don't care whether they are living a difficult life or not, what they care about is whether they still have any hope of making a fortune, whether they can hope that they can successfully climb a class.

Because the hardships of life only make people feel miserable, but when the upward channel is closed, and they can't even live, then they will inevitably despair, and then they will explode in despair.

However, Liu Tai also understands very well that his behavior is at most only a symptom but not a root cause.

But the question is, is this kind of thing to cure the root cause also worthy of thinking about by people like yourself?

Therefore, it is precisely because of Liu Tai's ideas that Liu Tai's speed of conquering the world is determined, and it is also determined that Liu Tai cannot swallow the world in one go.

Didn't Liu Tai know that his theory was more advanced than that of the Jin Ting, and his strength was stronger than that of the Jin Ting, and even although he only had the land of Jizhou, the resources that he could actually dispatch were much richer than the Jin Ting, which was controlled by the family.

It can be said that under his own iron hooves, even if there is a person like Zu Li in the Jin Court, he is not afraid at all.

But he only owned Youzhou, Qingzhou and half of Jizhou at the beginning, and won the entire land of Hebei, as well as Taiyuan, which in itself already made Liu Tai's control of the grassroots people a little stretched.

If you attack Chang'an Luoyang again, or even fight to the death with your ancestors, even if you successfully capture the Central Plains, the problem is that there are no people in your hands to manage the grassroots, so you will inevitably need to use the wealthy family to maintain governance.

Liu Tai knows very well that the families who have just experienced the family dynasty have tasted the taste of power one by one, and have a heritage that is unimaginable to other classes, as long as he reuses them a little, he will inevitably be reborn, and it may even reach the point of five surnames and seven hopes.

This is completely unacceptable to Liu Tai, if he is a Liu Xiu, then he might as well just put it up and wait for Yang Jian, Li Shimin and others to come out and clean up the mountains and rivers hundreds of years later.

But at the same time, he can't force the family too hard, after depriving them of land, slaves, and talent advantages, he must give them a little sweetness, and at the same time let the family take out the money and food they hide to circulate.

Under such circumstances, large-scale projects such as the Yongji Canal have almost become an inevitable option.

The Yongji Canal was a political project, not an economic project, for the families, it gave them a place to store their money and food, and because they could occupy a Jinkou, they also had the opportunity to gain wealth and power.

At the same time, the west of Yecheng occupied by Liu Taigang was basically Shile's territory, and the number of miscellaneous beards under his command was not to be underestimated.

For these miscellaneous beards, not to mention whether they can farm, even if they can farm, it is undeniable that the people under their command do not have enough acres of land, how can they give these miscellaneous beards a land.

Let them move the bricks, let them live smoothly in Dahan, and complete an identity transformation from Hu to Han, which is already the most suitable choice for them.

After this period of precipitation, he accumulated enough soldiers and military history in his hands, and naturally continued to conquer.

And at this moment, Huan Xuan, who was in Changyi, was almost completely trapped in the city of Changyi, and his heart was full of anxiety.

Originally, Huan Xuan thought that Liu Tai's attack would be like a storm, but in fact, Liu Tai did not attack the city at all, but only steadily cleaned up the defensive facilities around Changyi, but this kind of orderliness brought great pressure to the city.

Seeing that the morale of the army had dropped a little too low, he decisively led the defenders to attack a wave of Liu Tai's army in the dark night.

As a result, when the soldiers were about two hundred meters away from the camp, they stepped on the dark bell arranged by Liu Taijun in advance, so that the Han army was full of vigilance, and then he decisively went up, and finally escaped back to Changyi by taking advantage of the dark night and high wind.

The first thing he did when he came back was to completely block the four gates, in order to put them to death and come back to life.

And it is only because of the entanglement during this period of time, Liu Ming has successfully subdued the counties around Gaoping.

After all, any state and county basically except for the administrative office, the defense facilities are not very perfect, if they do not surrender, then they will be physically attacked, and they will be swept all the way, and Liu Tai has just completed the siege.

Then, those government soldiers who surrendered, as well as the families of Changyi who were people outside, were all sent over by Liu Ming.

Liu Tai said that he hoped that the soldiers under the command of Huan Xuan could persuade the soldiers under Huan Xuan to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and at the same time, they could also publicize the high treatment of our Han soldiers for the rebels, which may be the opportunity to finally become a government soldier and get the field.

Hearing Liu Tai's words, these people and soldiers did not hesitate, and immediately under Liu Tai's arrangement, they arrived under the city of Changyi and began to shout Liu Tai's preferential policies.

This naturally inevitably shook the hearts of the soldiers in Changyi, after all, it was a field, how could it be impossible to make these soldiers moved.

However, Huan Xuan immediately ordered the archers to expel these soldiers and the local people, and at the same time sent the exile generals to take power, and ordered that it was forbidden to talk about the evil words of Liu Tai's army.

At the same time, he personally led his own family soldiers to patrol the city, relying on his own prestige to suppress Liu Tai's conspiracy.

It's just that Huan Xuan feels that in addition to his own soldiers, whether it is a soldier from the local by-election, or a soldier who is exiled here from the north, Huan Xuan feels that his neck seems to be cold at this moment, but the eyes of these people are not friendly at all.

"King, I see that the morale of Huanxuan's army has fallen to the extreme, and it is just right for our army to attack!" Liu Ming couldn't help but suggest to Liu Tai.

"There's no hurry!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "How much morale there is in Changyi City now, all of them are appearances, as long as we have to wait for one of the two opportunities to appear, then we can fight down!" ”

"What a chance!" Liu Ming couldn't help but say to Liu Tai with a little doubt.

"Either there is really a military rebellion inside, so that the generals don't believe in the soldiers, and the soldiers don't believe in the generals, or wait for when Zhao An will send the gifts." Liu Tai said to Liu Ming calmly, "It depends on whether Huan Xuan's ability to govern the soldiers is worse, or whether Zhao Anjin is faster in Yuzhou!" ”

When Liu Ming heard Liu Tai's words, he looked at Huan Xuan in front of him again, and more or less couldn't help but sigh a little.

Although the king has always been famous for his strong attacks, he is really stable when he attacks the city, and he doesn't even mind his progress being slow, and he attacks step by step at his own pace, and he doesn't give people a way to live at all!

As for Li Ju, Zu Yue and Huan Xuan, the southern reinforcements they thought were cut off long ago under the layout of the king.

This time, Zhao An's troops can completely follow their own pace, not to mention completely take the entire territory of Yuzhou, but at least it is enough to defend until next year.

Because after waiting for another month, the grain and grass in the Yuzhou area will almost be harvested again, and for Zhao Anlai, in fact, as long as this month is supported, it is not realistic for the Jin army to defeat Zhao An.

After all, even if the Jin army quelled the Wang Dun Rebellion, how many troops did the Jin army have to go north!

At this time, Huan Xuan had a very difficult patrol and returned to the city wall, seeing that Liu Tai's army was still the norm of besieging but not attacking, and his forehead was already sweating.

At this moment, he finally understood the strength of Liu Tai, who had vaguely become the number one general in the world, and the two sides had not even had time to really fight, and the psychology of his whole army had actually collapsed.

Huan Xuan couldn't help but look at Jin Ting behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Your Majesty, hurry up and pacify Wang Dun, Xuan can't hold out for long!" ”

And not long after, the news of the Wang Dun Rebellion finally came from Jiankang.

Wang Dun won!
