Chapter 246 The Han Army Enters the City

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The next morning.

Daijun City is very lively. More than ten thousand Wei troops are ready to go, and the military and political leaders of the county and city are also bringing their families.

Zhou Shen walked out of the Prefect's Mansion slowly, looked back at the Prefect's Mansion where he had lived for several years, and shook his head reluctantly.

"Get out of town!"

Following Zhou Shen's order, more than ten thousand Wei troops marched out of the east gate in an orderly manner. The high-ranking officials and family members following the brigade looked at the people of Daijun along the street.

None of them had a smile on their face.

Even ordinary soldiers,

They all have gloomy faces.

Wei Dynasty——Why did he fall into such abjection?

The Wei State, the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms, was now forced into this state by the Han, who was originally the weakest among the Three Kingdoms.

The other side——

Just as the Wei army left, the west gate of Daijun slowly opened. Wei Yan, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, did not think anything about it.

"Enter the city!"

20,000 Han troops followed Wei Yan and marched into the city of Daijun. Immediately afterwards, the Han soldiers climbed onto the city tower, took down the banner with the word "Wei" that had been hanging for an unknown period of time, and replaced it with the Han Dynasty flag.

The banner with Chinese characters.

When the Han army entered the city, although the people of Daijun gathered on both sides of the street, they were all worried. They didn't know what changes would happen to their lives under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Perhaps sensing the doubts of the people, Wei Yan walked into the city and when he was still some distance away from the governor's house, he suddenly reined in the reins and looked at the people on both sides of the street.

"Everyone!" Wei Yan said loudly: "Today, our Han army officially takes over the military administration of Daijun." As he said that, he glanced around the people on the street.

Then he smiled and said: "You don't need to worry, from today on, you are all my Han people."

"General!"

Just when Wei Yan opened his mouth, a middle-aged man who was closer suddenly asked: "I wonder how the big man will govern Daijun next?"

“Smells good!”

Wei Yan nodded when he heard this, and then said: "How to govern Dai County, Wei Yan can't answer you yet, but..." He paused deliberately before saying with a smile: "But Wei Yan can tell you.

, I, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, love the people like a son and often visit the fields to understand the sufferings of the people."

"Take our army entering Guanzhong a few years ago as an example;" Wei Yan said: "Your Majesty personally visited various places in Guanzhong and later found that the plows used by the people to cultivate the land were heavy and laborious, so our emperor personally designed a lighter and more labor-saving plow.

Plow."

"After the development of the past few years, the people in Guanzhong now have endless surplus food." Wei Yan said this with a proud look.

They actually don’t care much about the current people.

Have a full meal,

Not hungry.

This is what the people are most concerned about.

Before this, Wei's grain output was not high.

Although they also imitated the Han Dynasty and improved their planting methods, the imperial court's grain tax was based on a five-to-five system.

In other words, if the common people grow one stone of food, the court will collect half a stone.

But a place like Daijun is no better than the southern region.

Even if the grain planting technology is improved, it is difficult to guarantee their output, so the people of Daijun are not actually living a wealthy life.

During the days when Wei Yan came to Daijun, he naturally got to know him, so he smiled and said: "The Han army is coming, and your good days are coming."

Just relying on Wei Yan's words, it is naturally impossible for the people to completely believe it. Perhaps it can only be verified with time.

However, they had heard Wei Yan's name before. Since he said this now, they could only believe him for the time being. After all, they were just ordinary people. They actually didn't care that much about who would rule them.

They only care about who can make them live a good life.

Moreover, the Wei State is now cutting off the city to compensate for the land, which means that the Wei State is now inferior to the Han Dynasty. As ordinary people, of course they are willing to live under the protection of the strong.

What's more, after Wei Yan finished speaking, he immediately ordered the three armies in front of the people not to harass the local people. If the people discovered that the Han army had violated the law, they could go directly to the prefect's mansion to report to him.

Those who harass the common people - be killed without mercy.

This military order immediately won the support of the common people.

Soon Wei Yan settled in the Daijun Prefect's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Wei Yan not only arranged for officials to go to various counties to appease the local people, but also sent a cavalry of 3,000 people to quickly leave the city to monitor the Wei army that had just left Daijun.

Their surveillance scope is until the Wei army completely leaves the territory of Daijun, and then this army will be stationed at the junction of Shanggu County of Daijun.

......

With the peaceful handover of Dai County and the peace talks between Han and Wei, the Wei State has fulfilled their promise, because the three hundred carts of fine iron have all been transported to Tongguan as early as ten days after the agreement was reached.

The 16th year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (238 AD), November 18th.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Liu Chan sat high on the throne, and all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gathered in the hall.

"The envoy from the State of Wei has arrived."

Following the singing and cheering of an eunuch outside the palace, Yang Fu, the young minister of the State of Wei, strolled into the hall. When he came closer, he bowed slightly to Liu Chan and saluted: "Foreign minister Yang Fu, I pay my respects to your majesty."

"Your envoy is exempt from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a simple ceremony, Yang Fu asked: "Your Majesty, we, the Wei Dynasty, have withdrawn the garrison from Daijun in accordance with the agreement between the two parties, and three hundred carts of fine iron have been transported to the Han Dynasty. I don't know... I don't know, Your Majesty..." Yang Fu

After a pause, he said: "When will we release the captured monarchs and ministers of Wei Dynasty?"

According to the agreement, Cao Wei withdrew its troops from Dai County, because the other six counties no longer needed Cao Wei to withdraw their troops. Their garrisons were either driven back by the Han army or surrendered on the spot, and all the cities were returned to the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Cao Wei only needs to withdraw the garrison from Dai County and send three hundred carts of fine iron to the Han. As long as Cao Wei fulfills these two conditions, according to the agreement, the Han will need to release the captured Wei monarchs and ministers.

However, the Wei State had withdrawn from the garrison in Daijun a few days ago, and the fine iron had been delivered to the Han army in Tongguan before the withdrawal.

But——

To this day, the Han Dynasty has not released the captured monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei.

This made the officials of Cao and Wei unable to sit still. Originally, they were waiting outside Tongguan to welcome the Emperor Cao Rui, but after waiting for several days, they did not see Cao Rui and others.

It seems that the big man has no intention of releasing him at all.

That's why they sent Yang Fu, the young master, to Chang'an in person to interrogate the Han Emperor Liu Chan. They just wanted to ask, Han Dynasty, do you keep your word?

Liu Chan looked at Yang Fu and said nothing.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in the main hall slowly walked out of the queue, then saluted Yang Fu and asked with a smile: "Has Yishan ever been to Chang'an before?"

Yang Fu was stunned when he heard this and didn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant, so he responded: "To be honest, Prime Minister, Fu is originally from Tianshui County, and he visited Guanzhong several times when it was still part of the Wei Dynasty."<

/p>

"Oh???" Zhuge Liang seemed a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Yishan's family lives in Tianshui County, Hebei County?"

"Exactly!" Yang Fu affirmed.

"Are there any relatives at home?" Zhuge Liang asked.

But as soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Yang Fu couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't understand what Zhuge Liang meant by suddenly asking him these questions.

After all——

He is now a minister of the Wei Dynasty.
