Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

On the day Sun Ce led the army to set off, Wu Guotai got up early to tidy up and put on a full set of Guotai dress.Da Qiao and Sun Shao also wore the corresponding costumes of Mrs. Hou and the eldest son, and took Sun Ce's younger brothers and sisters to send the army out.

The ten-mile long pavilion hears the drum horn.The sound vibrates on the right side of Hetong Yinguan.

All the officials of the governor's office followed Sun Ce and others to the barracks.I saw a group of soldiers who had just returned from Yizhou to recuperate, and they were going to Yuzhou again.These Jiangdong children have followed Sun Ce to fight for several years. This time, they don't need to be mobilized by Shichang or Baihuchang. Most of them understand that Marquis Wu will lead them to strive to create a brand new world where ordinary people can live better.

Teams of soldiers with bright armor and cold light of swords, guns and shields reflected the warm sun in the late autumn morning. They came out of the barracks and walked north in neat lines.

The car is turning and the horse is Xiao, and the killing is heavy.

Wu Guotai picked up a bowl of Zhuangxing wine and said to Sun Ce, "Bo Fu, Auntie only hopes that you will be safe."

Sun Ce took the wine bowl, "Don't worry, Auntie, my son will not rush in, and he will come back safely. You wait in Shouchun for your son to pick you up to Luoyang."

"Okay. I'll take Ah Shao to wait for you in Shouchun."

Da Qiao held his son tightly in his arms, trying to absorb the strength to stand firm from the small fleshy body of the son in his arms.Her pair of beautiful eyes were as gentle as water, fixed on Sun Ce's face and refused to look away.Sun Ce nodded to Da Qiao, he had already told her what the husband and wife should say in the past few days.

Ah Shao looked up at his father in military uniform. The sun shone on his father's face, as if it had been coated with a layer of golden light.He didn't know how to express his feelings, but he felt that such a father made him admire even more.

Sun Ce took his son from his wife's arms and urged him earnestly.

"Ah Shao, you have to listen to what Grandma and Aunt say, take good care of your sister, and wait for Ah Weng to come back and take you to ride a big horse."

Ah Shao had a sullen face, unwilling to let his father leave.He put his arms around his father's neck and replied: "Aweng, I am obedient and take care of my sister. Come back early."

Sun Ce nodded, and solemnly agreed to his son's request to come back early.

He shook Ah Shao in his arms, "Eat well, and wait until Ah Weng comes back to see that you grow taller and stronger."

Then he put his son back into Da Qiao's arms, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Hong, and said to Wu Guotai and Zhang Hong, "Mr. Hardworking, I will leave Dongwu here to you and my mother."

Zhang Hong bowed his hands and returned the gift.

"Don't worry, Bofu, I will do my best. I hope Marquis Wu will be invincible and triumphant as soon as possible."

Sun Ce took Zhang Hong's Zhuang Xingjiu and drank it in one swoop, and once again cupped his fists at the officials of the governor's office who came to see him off.He said loudly, "Ce, please."

"I will live up to Marquis Wu's entrustment." The officials who came to see him off solemnly clasped their fists in return and replied neatly.

Sun Ce cupped his hands again, turned and mounted his horse.Lu Meng and more than a hundred personal guards also mounted their horses immediately, surrounded Sun Ce, and soon mixed into the advancing army.

Wu Guotai hugged Sun Shao and silently watched Sun Ce's team drifting away.The late autumn sun shone on the pedestrian's back, and the cold light on the iron clothes made people suddenly feel solemn and stirring.

How many of the tens of thousands of good men who went to the north will come back.

But such a thought just flashed across Wu Guotai's mind for an instant, and then disappeared without a trace.There is no choice but to use Erlang's blood to usher in a new era.

When Gu Yong, the infantry led by Huang Zu, set off for Xuzhou with Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, he asked the officials of the government government to mobilize the people who leased the land to cultivate in the Nanjun, Xiangyang and Nanyang counties of Jingzhou to migrate to Xuzhou. go.

Since he became governor of Jingzhou, what happened in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, Jingzhou's aristocratic families have always been on guard against him.Because most of the land in Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou occupied by Sun Ce was taken away by Sun Ce.

The common people then rented land from Wuhou Sun Ce to cultivate, and only had to pay [-]% of the land rent.That is, individual families still own part of the land, but most of this part of the land also has to pay [-]% of the land rent to Marquis Wu.

Then the landlord wanted to collect [-]% of the land rent as in the past, and he could no longer hire tenant farmers to cultivate.Relying on one's own trilogy to cultivate, one has to bear the taxes and corvees stipulated by the Han Dynasty.

That is an unbearable heavy tax and heavy corvee.

Abandoned.Stop planting!

Think beautiful.

Marquis Wu issued an order: on the cultivated land in the south that is cultivated at least two seasons a year, anyone who dares to abandon it for one year will be defined as barren land and taken away.

Where does this make people reason?

If you don't grow your own land, you can't grow it, and if you want to grow it, you can't hire farmers.

Sell ​​land?

In the past, land that no one was willing to sell unless it was a famine year has always been the most valuable land sought after by the rich, but now no one is willing to buy it for five baht.

The last three counties in Jingzhou belonged to Sun Ce, who was surrendered by Liu Qi at the behest of Liu Biao, so most of the land in these counties is still in the hands of aristocratic families.

But Gu Yong always remembered what Marquis Wu told him before he took office, that there is no rush to change land ownership and taxation, as long as Jingzhou is stable.In order to stabilize, he didn't do anything to these aristocratic families.As for these aristocratic families not paying taxes, Gu Yong did not force them either.Hello, me, everyone, have been mixing together for several years.

But during this period, with the help of Zhuge Xuan, he had detailed and detailed knowledge of the aristocratic families in these counties of Jingzhou.

In the mobilization order for the relocation, Gu Yong informed the people that all the land in Xuzhou had been returned to Marquis Wu, and the land rent in Xuzhou would be the same as that in Jiangdong, only [-]%, and there would be no other taxes and corvee.

So attractive to sharecroppers.

But for the common people, Jingzhou can be regarded as a paradise in troubled times.Although the land rent is high, and there are occasional small bandits, but where there is no large-scale war spread, it is a paradise where one can survive.The years of war in Xuzhou are no longer the legendary land of wealth and prosperity, the place where Cao thief would rather be a human flesh to occupy, but the place where all things are depressed and ghosts sing after years of wars.

But Gu Yong's explanation to the officials and people in the counties was only a very simple sentence: Wuhou has already sent his army into Xuzhou.

Who is Wuhou?

He is the little overlord of Jiangdong.A hero who always wins battles.

Where there is Marquis Wu, there will be no more wars and bandits. Tenants who rent land from aristocratic families have to pay more than [-]% of the land rent and bear corvee. Northern Migration Route,

When Sun Ce's proclamation spread to all corners of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's heart also fell to the ground, and finally waited until the wolf came.

He won the battle of Guandu, winning a brilliant victory with the few victorious and the weak over the strong.Cao Cao knew that he could leave a glorious page in the annals of history with this battle alone.

But he understood that Yuan Shao was defeated by his own indecision and intrigue among internal factions.

But Sun Ce is different from Yuan Shao.

From the information he collected about Sun Ce through continuous efforts, he found that Sun Ce's weaknesses were increasingly hard to find.

In the past, Sun Ce liked to take the lead when fighting, but usually he liked to hunt alone without defense.This is the only weakness of Sun Ce, who does not love women and is not greedy for luxury.

However, judging from Sun Ce's travels in recent years, he must be surrounded by at least a hundred people or more personal guards every time.His personal guards are all Jiangdong soldiers who are highly skilled and have been tested in the battlefield.

More importantly, these people are basically from the Sun family's trilogy, or the extremely poor families in Jiangdong. It is their proudest and most honorable thing to follow Sun Ce.

Only when Sun Ce is safe can they have a stable position above others and a bright future to look forward to.

Because Sun Ce's first batch of personal guards, after studying by his side for several years, dozens of them have passed the exam to become officials, including county magistrates, school lieutenants, and thousands of households.

Unable to find Sun Ce's weakness, Cao Cao was helpless.Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win.

But my confidant - my army is in a stage that has not been repaired after the war.

Sun Ce's words are like swords, sentences are like swords, and he must have forced him to commit suicide in order to be worthy of the Han Dynasty, worthy of the general Yuan Shao's soldiers who died in Guandu, worthy of the morality of the world and the people of Li.Fortunately, the soldiers in the army are basically illiterate, so there will be no mutiny.

But I don't know who - why couldn't Zhang Lu and Zhang Fei overthrow the Jiangdong Army?Why Sun Ce's army has a tenacious cohesion, and why it can gather to fight against the coach Zhou Yu was stabbed by Zhang Fei and retreated, this is what Cao Cao urgently wants to explore.

It's a pity that even if some of the soldiers Cao Hong took out last time returned to Yanzhou alive, they would only answer "too terrible" when asked about the situation of Sun Ce's army.

This plunged Cao Cao into a panic he had never experienced before.

And Guo Jia, whom Sun Ce had been thinking about, was discussing with Xun You and other counselors how to face Sun Ce's army at this time.

Guo Jia shared with all the counselors and generals the inside story of his encounter with the Bagua formation in Qiao County last time.Originally, it was not easy to talk about these unsettling and morale-affecting things on the eve of the war.But let's not talk about it now, if Soochow puts on a gossip again, it will be even worse if the soldiers believe in ghosts and gods.

He said worriedly: "I just follow the elders to know a little bit about this gossip formation. The last time I broke the formation, no one attacked from the side. If someone attacks when I break the formation, I can't guarantee that I can break it in three days. "

Xia Houshang still had lingering fears in his heart. After breaking the formation, he saw the corpses in the formation, which made him unable to sleep peacefully for several days.Not only was his son named Xia Houxuan by him, but he also worked hard on metaphysics.After getting started with Guo Jia, the more you delved into it, the more panicked you became. How could you still use the power of heaven and earth for your own use!

He added: "Everyone should be careful that the battle formation is set on a normal road, and the soldiers will disappear as they walk. After Guo Jijiu broke the formation, some of the soldiers who entered the battle for three days have gone crazy It is said that it was wandering around in the formation, and it took a few hours to find that it returned to the place where it entered."

Xia Houyuan looked at the generals around him and reminded them: "The vanguard must check the number of people from time to time, and stop advancing in time if something is wrong, otherwise thousands of troops will be lost if they enter the battle of Soochow."

Xu You said cautiously: "If this is the case, we will not be able to fight in the place chosen by Sun Ce."

But how should we fight Sun Ce?

Soochow filled Xuzhou with a large army and people within a month; the army from Yuzhou was crushed on the edge of Chenliu County in Yanzhou, and the soldiers did not move.

The south of Yingchuan County was occupied by Soochow.
