Traveling through Chenghan Xiandi, fortunately I have a simulator

Chapter 155

Soon, the Patriarch of the Wang family collected all the money of the big families. Compared with the fields lost by these big families, although the money is a lot, as long as the land is still there, the money will be available sooner or later in the future, but if the land is gone, Then it's all gone.

Hedong County is not far from Shangjun. With the speed of the head of the Wang family's carriage and horses, it only took a few days to reach Shangjun. After arriving in Shangjun, the head of the Wang family soon saw the general.

The general's surname is Sui, his name is Gu, and his style name is White Rabbit. He was originally a Black Mountain bandit. When Yuan Shao and Han Fu competed for Jizhou, the Black Bandit also participated in the battle, but he did not win. As a Black Bandit, Sui Gu chose to leave Montenegro The thief defected to Zhang Yang of Bingzhou.

Since then, Zhang Yang sent Suigu to Shangjun. During his stay in Shangjun, Suigu, relying on his experience in the Black Mountain Army, gathered the local bandits and yellow turban forces, and became a powerful force in Bingzhou.

It can be said that Suigu's army is actually very similar to Yang Feng's Baibo thieves. They are both dominated by yellow turban thieves. Although Suigu's army is weaker in combat effectiveness, he is better at commanding yellow turban thieves, and he will not appear like Yang Feng. , directly abandoning the performance of the Yellow Turban Thief.

After several checks along the way, the head of the Wang family finally arrived at Gaonu County in Shangjun, where Suigu's army was located.

In the county hall, Sui Gu sat in the middle, waiting for the arrival of the head of the Wang family.

"General, please stay safe." The head of the Wang family said respectfully.

"I don't know why the Patriarch of the Wang family came to me. I am a group of rough men here. I don't need the Patriarch of the Wang family to come in person. If there is anything wrong, just send someone to come." Sui Gu said politely, and let people Show the seat to the head of the Wang family.

"General, this matter is extremely important, so I have to come in person." The head of the Wang family cupped his hands.

"Say" Sui Gu said without hesitation.

"General, then I will tell the truth, this matter is actually like this." The Patriarch of the Wang family spoke eloquently about what happened in Hedong County one by one.

Of course, a lot of things are exaggerated, such as how they helped the court to expel the Baibo bandits, but they were framed by the court instead. In short, according to the head of the Wang family, the court is useless.

But these are not the main points, because the head of the Wang family can see that Sui Gu's expression has not changed much, and he is obviously not interested in the story he told.

"The imperial court is so bullying. When I clean up the soldiers and horses, I will definitely seek justice for my brothers." Sui Gu stood up straight away, and was about to go out.

"General, wait a moment. Our rich families gathered together and prepared funds and food for the general. The general does not need to seek justice for us. I just hope that the general can pretend to attack the Zuo Fengyi area and force Zhu Jun's army to return to defense. That's fine." The Patriarch of the Wang family also gave a timely step.

What Suigu did was just to show to the Patriarch of the Wang family. As for seeking justice, he is not stupid. This kind of thing has no benefit at all, so how could he really do it.

Sui Gu's army is not a regular army. For him, as long as it is beneficial, he doesn't mind doing it. Anyway, he is just a Black Mountain bandit, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

Sure enough, after seeing the property brought by the Patriarch of the Wang Family, Sui Gu's heart was immediately moved, especially after hearing that if he could force Zhu Jun's army to return to defense, the Patriarch of the Wang Family and others would give some money. The hesitation has been dispelled.

Although Suigu is Zhang Yang's subordinate, since he subdued the local bandits and yellow turban forces, he has long been openly and secretly disobedient to Zhang Yang's control. As for the court, he has no fear at all. When he was in the Black Mountain Army, It is dedicated to resisting the imperial court,

"Since brother is in trouble, I will definitely help with this matter. How about it, brother, you go back first. Within ten days, I guarantee that Zhu Jun's army will definitely return to defense." Sui Gu patted the Patriarch of the Wang family on the arm. Said.

"Then there will be General Lao." The Patriarch of the Wang Family bowed his hands respectfully.

The Patriarch of the Wang Family and Sui Gu also had several acquaintances. At that time, Sui Gu was just a small leader, but now it is different. Sui Gu is already a general with tens of thousands of soldiers, so the Patriarch of the Wang Family dare not Belittle Suigu.

Near Yeongan, Hadong County

During this period of time, Da Sinong discovered that the speed of negotiations with the powerful clan could be improved by using the army to suppress the formation, so he called Zhu Jun to join him. After all, only Zhu Jun can command this army.

As for the Cheng Lian troops sent out by Zhu Jun before, they have now completed the task of suppressing the rebel army. When reporting to Zhu Jun, Cheng Lian emphasized Xu Huang. In Cheng Lian's opinion, if it were not for Xu Huang's help , I am afraid that until now, his army has only completed half of the mission.

However, during this period, Cheng Lian's troops also changed from 5000 to 4000, and because of the long-distance raids, the physical strength of the soldiers was greatly consumed, so Zhu Jun asked Cheng Lian and Xu Huang to lead the troops back to Anyi City .

"General, is there really no problem with Da Sinong doing this now?" Zhang Liao said slowly.

"What do you want to say?" Zhu Jun raised his head and stared at Zhang Liao.

"In the past, Da Sinong negotiated with the Hao family first. Even if the result was not good, there was no conflict between the two sides, but now every time he asked me to directly lead the army to surround the Hao family. Because of this, our army and the Hao family's private soldiers There have been many fights."

"Although the private soldiers raised by these powerful clans are not as good as ours, I always feel that Da Si Nong's actions are a bit aggressive, and I am worried that something will go wrong." Zhang Liao said in fear.

Zhu Jun may not know exactly what happened, but Zhang Liao knows everything, because he has suppressed the private soldiers of the powerful clan many times, and even the most serious one, he even killed more than half of the private soldiers of the opponent before making the opponent surrender.

Zhang Liao was worried that these powerful families would jump over the wall in a hurry and do outrageous things, especially after their army left in the future. Regardless of how well behaved these wealthy families are now, as long as Zhu Jun's army leaves, the cause of farming will definitely be destroyed by these wealthy families. .

"Don't worry about this matter. If they dare to rebel, I will kill them all." Zhu Jun said lightly.

After hearing Zhu Jun's words, Zhang Liao remained silent. He knew that what Zhu Jun said was the truth. The reason why Zhu Jun entrusted Zhang Liao to complete this matter was because Zhang Liao would leave some room for relaxation. The Hao family will end up with the Yellow Turban Thief.

In troubled times, implementing reforms has never been an easy task, especially when it comes to land property reforms, it is the most important thing.

Historically, when Cao Cao promoted farming, wars were frequent in various places, people were displaced, a large number of farmlands were barren, and a large number of laborers died. Therefore, even if Cao Cao did not need to solve the land of the rich, there was still a lot of land for the refugees to plant.

But it is different now, the wars in various places are not too frequent, and the power of the wealthy clan is still very strong. Even after passing through the turbulent Hedong County area of ​​​​the Baibo bandits, the wealthy clan still has a strong force. Therefore, if you want to promote the farming system, dealing with these wealthy clans is the unavoidable things.

For Zhang Ming, Hedong County is a pilot of the farming system. He needs to see the results of farming here. Only in this way can he promote it in more places.

The land in Hedong County is ripe once a year, which means that if you can't complete the farming before the spring planting, you can only wait for the next year if you want to see the results of the farming. Therefore, Zhang Ming spared no effort to let Da Si Nong and Zhu Jun assisted in the completion of the farming, in order to complete it before the spring planting.

It's just that there will be problems in the end if you advance aggressively, and soon, letters one after another quickly spread to the court.

In the Gaomen Hall, Huangfusong hurriedly brought several letters, which were all from the guards in Zuo Fengyi's area.

"Your Majesty, the area of ​​Zuo Fengyi is in an emergency, and Suigu, Shangjun of Bingzhou, led a large army to drive straight in, trying to attack Chang'an." Huangfusong said.

Huangfusong came to Gaomen Hall as soon as he received these letters. According to the contents of these letters, many counties in the Zuofengyi area had fallen, and Suigu's army burned, killed and looted in the city, committing all kinds of crimes.

If it wasn't for the guards left by the imperial court to spread the news to Chang'an, Huang Fusong would not have known what happened so quickly.

"Has the situation been ascertained?" Zhang Ming said calmly.

"I have already sent scouts to investigate the situation, and there will be results in two or three days at the latest." Huangfusong said respectfully.

Zhang Ming never expected that Suigu from Shangjun would take the initiative to attack Zuo Fengyi's area. He had already sent someone to find out about the surrounding situation.

Sui Gu had about [-] Yellow Turban soldiers stationed in Shangjun. Although they existed in the name of defending the Xiongnu in the west, their real purpose was to prevent the imperial court from going north.

Of course, Zhang Ming didn't care about Suigu's existence, because even if Suigu dispatched all [-] soldiers to attack Chang'an City, it would be completely impossible. After all, even Yang Feng's [-] Baibo bandits were killed. The imperial army was defeated.

At this point in time, Zhang Ming still doesn't want to fight against the princes. He still wants to farm and develop for a period of time, so he didn't choose to destroy Suigu's forces. After all, Suigu is also Zhang Yang's subordinate. This girder is completely closed.

But what Zhang Ming didn't expect was that Sui Gu chose to take the initiative to violate the border. Now, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Cui Ming, send someone to summon Xu Rong."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Ming said.

"General Huangfu, what do you think I should do this time?" Zhang Ming looked at Huangfusong slightly, his eyes were a little hazy.

Through His Majesty's eyes, Huangfusong immediately understood His Majesty's meaning. This time, His Majesty not only wants to get rid of Sui Gu and his soldiers, but also has plans for Shangjun.

"Your Majesty, I understand what Your Majesty means." Huangfu Song nodded silently.

But soon, Huangfusong had doubts, and he asked again, "Your Majesty, once the imperial court occupies Shangjun, will the imperial court face too much pressure at that time?"

"Shangjun is not a good location. To the west is the Xiongnu, to the north is Shuofang County, and Wuyuan County is often invaded by Huns. If the imperial court occupies Shangjun, it will not only face public hostility, but also face the Xiongnu everywhere. It means that the imperial court deploys a large number of soldiers to defend Shangjun, won't the gains outweigh the losses?" Huangfusong couldn't help asking.

Ever since Huangfusong became Minister of the Military Department, he has gradually let go of his love for combat and considered things more comprehensively. Of course, his thinking has also become conservative.

"What does General Huangfu think?" Zhang Ming couldn't help asking.

"Kill all Sui Gu and his soldiers, but Shangjun doesn't need it for now. Let Zhang Yang do the defense of the Xiongnu." Huangfusong said word by word.

Huangfusong said a very good thing, that is, the imperial court is now occupying Shangjun, and the pressure it faces is much greater all of a sudden, especially the current imperial court, the development of the Sili Xiaowei Department has not yet been completed, and rashly attacking will only make people suffer. The court was even more difficult.

"If I am not the Son of Heaven, but just a prince along the way, I will definitely agree to General Huangfu's request, but unfortunately, I am the Son of Heaven, the master of the Han Dynasty."

"General Huangfu, there are thousands of students in Chang'an City who are waiting for the general election in Chang'an. These students, like you and me, can hear the news from the Zuo Fengyi area. If I just choose to simply resist, I will only give these students Leave an impression of cowardice."

"When these unselected students leave Chang'an, the cowardly image of the imperial court will spread throughout the world."

"A big man needs fame and needs to prove his strength. Today Zhang Yang's subordinate Sui Gu attacked Zuo Fengyi, and we blindly sought stability. Tomorrow, Cao Cao's subordinates attacked Henan Yin, and we also sought stability. If this continues, what is the majesty of a big man? Where is his reputation?"

"Without the reputation of a great man, a piece of imperial edict from me will not be able to exchange for the world's students. Without the reputation of a great man, the princes will not care about the emperor." After finishing speaking, Zhang Ming sighed.

Sometimes, reputation can bring benefits, such as an imperial edict, which attracts the emperor's students; You can't just call back.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will do my best to complete this matter." Huangfusong nodded and said.

It's not that Huangfusong doesn't understand the principles His Majesty said, it's just that the imperial court is trapped by reputation, so it's hard to say whether it will be good or bad in the future.

"Your Majesty, my minister Xu Rong will see you." Xu Rong walked in from outside the hall and said.

Unlike Huangfusong, Xu Rong has not received news of Suigu's invasion, after all, he is just an ordinary general now.

Huangfusong handed over the letter in his hand to Xu Rong, and told Xu Rong the whole story.

After hearing this, Xu Rong turned pale with shock. Not long ago, he just came back from Zuo Fengyi area, and he didn't expect that war broke out so soon.

"Since the two generals already know the whole story, I will directly ask for it. This time, I ask you to win the war and occupy Bingzhou Shangjun. I want to tell everyone in the world that the court is back. Both of you General, can you do it?"

"Yes, we will definitely do it." Huangfusong and Xu Rong replied together.
