Chapter 241: Place the Yellow Turbans
After Liu Yu brought Zhang Yan into the camp, he comforted Zhang Yan softly again.
After encouraging Zhang Yan, Liu Yu ordered Chen Gong to arrange the Montenegrin troops just now. Now that these troops belong to Liu Yu, Chen Gong will naturally not be careless.
"My lord, I am willing to go to Montenegro to persuade all the Yellow Turbans. I hope my lord will allow it." At this time, Zhang Yan volunteered to Liu Yu and asked for instructions. He was willing to go to the base camp of Montenegro in person to persuade all the Yellow Turbans to surrender to Liu Yu.
"General Zhang is exhausted. Let's take a short rest. Just let General Wang Dang go." Chen Gong was the first to object to this proposal. If Zhang Yan was allowed to go back, it might cause some unpredictable results.
Zhang Yan did not respond to Chen Gong's words and looked directly at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu laughed and said: "I was still worried about the problem of the Yellow Turban in Montenegro. Since General Zhang is willing to go, it would be the best."
Chen Gong was about to object again, and Liu Yu gave him a reassuring look. Chen Gong thought for a while, as if he knew Liu Yu's intention. Liu Yu certainly knew that if Zhang Yan rebelled again after returning to Montenegro, then he would
There is nothing he can do. Liu Yu is now betting on Zhang Yan's character.
Of course, Zhang Yan knew about Liu Yu's intentions. In fact, Zhang Yan was also testing whether Liu Yu trusted her. Now that they have surrendered, Zhang Yan would not go back on her word. Liu Yu's reaction moved Zhang Yan. This is
I have quite a lot of trust in myself.
"The general will never let my lord down." Zhang Yan said excitedly.
"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news." Liu Yu waved to Zhang Yan to go down and prepare.
With Liu Yu's permission, Zhang Yan immediately set off for Montenegro.
"Lord, would it be too hasty to let Zhang Yan go back to Montenegro?" After Zhang Yan left, Chen Gong said to Liu Yu. Others in the big tent also nodded.
"I don't think Zhang Yan is that reliable." Dian Wei also expressed his opinion.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I think Zhang Yan still has merits as a person. When I go back to Montenegro this time, I will definitely not rebel. How about we make a bet? If I lose, I will give you an extra year of salary. If
If you lose, you don’t have to pay anything, just stay in the dark room for a few days."
When it comes to the small black room, no one under Liu Yu would bet with Liu Yu.
Zhang Yan returned to the Black Mountain base camp, and the originally very nervous defenders of the base camp seemed to have a backbone.
When Zhang Yan proposed surrendering to Liu Yu, the entire Yellow Turban group was surprisingly unanimous and showed no objection.
Heishan is close to Bingzhou, and some Yellow Turbans often enter Bingzhou. They see how the people in Bingzhou live. More importantly, even if the officials of Bingzhou know that they are Yellow Turbans, they don't have any trouble. Although Heishan is stable,
But the Yellow Turban people all have the word "thief" hanging on their heads. Without official legal status, their descendants will all be thieves. If Zhang Yan hadn't been holding them down, many Yellow Turban people might have gone to live in Bingzhou. Now Zhang Yan
Yan offered to surrender to Liu Yu. No one would be stupid enough to give up such a good opportunity to be a good person.
The performance of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban made Zhang Yan feel cold. Although he completed Liu Yu's instructions, he still hoped in his heart that someone could come out and advise him to continue resisting.
After arranging everything, Zhang Yan returned to Liu Yu with the entire Montenegro roster and relevant data.
Zhang Yan's return immediately slapped Chen Gong and others in the face.
Liu Yu was very satisfied with Zhang Yan's attitude and performance.
"Zhang Yan, do you have any words?" At this time, Liu Yu thought of a very boring question.
"My lord, I was born into a poor family, and I still have no words." Zhang Yan answered truthfully.
"Why don't I give you a name? Well, let's call it Jude." Liu Yu, like Bald Jiang in later generations, bestowed a name on Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan said gratefully: "Thank you so much, my lord, for giving me the name. From now on, my last general will be Zhang Yan and Zhang Jude."
The act of bestowing the title can be said to be Liu Yu's attempt to win over Zhang Yan. Liu Yu expressed to everyone that Zhang Yan was his confidant.
Liu Yu was really kind to Zhang Yan. He was a high-ranking official and well-paid, and even allowed him to lead his own army, and he continued to be stationed in Heishan. Zhang Yan said that he was not grateful, but it was a lie.
Li Gui was a little jealous. He had followed Liu Yu for many years and he had no writing. Liu Yu now gave Zhang Yan a writing, but not himself. Li Gui felt it was a bit unfair.
Li Gui said depressedly: "My lord, the little one doesn't even have words!"
Liu Yu slapped his forehead, and he actually forgot about this. Liu Yu said awkwardly: "You see, I have ignored you. It shouldn't be. Since Li Gui and you two brothers don't have words, why not just use it,
How about Bo Ya and Zhong Yun? You have to ask Butler Li about this first. If he doesn't want to do it, it won't be good."
"Thank you, Lord!" Li Gui was very happy, like a pug with a bone. As for Butler Li, he really wished that Liu Yu would give his two sons a gift.
In order to resettle the people, Liu Yu mobilized civil and military officials from the entire Bingzhou to resettle the entire Black Mountain people to Bingzhou, Luoyang or Chang'an.
At the same time, Liu Yu continuously selected the soldiers in the Yellow Turbans according to their elite level and added them to his own army. Liu Yu's territory is now much larger, and his military strength is beginning to be a bit insufficient. Don't look at the army Liu Yu now has.
The number is large, but not counting the garrison in various places, heavy troops must be deployed at various important checkpoints to prevent princes with ulterior motives. This leaves Liu Yu with a little less troops to mobilize.
Now that the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro have been conquered, they suddenly have nearly a million people. Liu Yu's military strength is no longer a problem. The most critical thing is how to digest and absorb this harvest and turn it into his own fighting strength. This is the problem Liu Yu is about to face.
The placement of the Yellow Turbans in Montenegro was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Liu Yu directly gave death orders to his subordinate officials. If Liu Yu could not complete his tasks, he would be dismissed from office.
Although the officials were helpless, they tried their best to complete the tasks assigned by Liu Yu.
The entire territory of Liu Yu became lively, and a large number of people who came out of Heishan were led away by officials from all walks of life, and then went to the counties that had been allocated long ago.
At first, the people of Montenegro were very worried about their future. Facing the government, they had no choice but to accept their fate. However, when they arrived at the county, they found that the officials had already arranged accommodation and fields, as well as seeds and grain.
Moreover, the annual taxes are still very low. The Chinese people are a group of people who are content with their destiny. As long as they have something to eat, they will not rebel. Liu Yu has arranged such good policies and treatment. Only a fool would rebel against Liu Yu.
