But Huangfu Song said: "I don't care about this. If you can't do it, I will report it to the court and let others who can do it become Jizhou Mu!"
At this time, Jizhou Shepherd Chief Shi Tianfeng said: "Jizhou still has five counties. If each county allocates 20,000 households, it should still be able to meet the general's requirements!"
Tian Feng transferred Yang Biao's pressure to the various prefects and state ministers in Jizhou. Many people were secretly scolding Tian Feng for being troublesome!
Are you trying to trick us? In the past, Jizhou could easily produce hundreds of thousands of refugees, but now it is difficult to find even a beggar. So where can they find refugees?
Huangfu Song also felt it was reasonable and nodded: "Yang Zhoumu, you are responsible for supervising the recruitment of refugees by the governors and ministers of the country. If they cannot recruit 10,000 households within a month, reprimand them. If you cannot complete the goal in 2 months, you will directly report to the imperial court for dismissal and investigation!"
If you cannot complete all the preparations for the cultivation before the autumn harvest, and complete the task of planting winter wheat, I will report it to the imperial court for a copy!"
The prefects and ministers present were all dumbfounded. "Why don't you act in such a vigorous and resolute manner? They are prefects with 2,000 shi and are not petty officials. They always talk about dismissal and investigation. Although you, Huangfu Song, have a high and powerful position, you are just a cavalry general."
Your Majesty, don’t you have such great power?
"General Chariot and Cavalry wants to prepare food and money for 500,000 households in a settlement of 100,000 households. Now Jizhou still maintains an army of 100,000 people. There really is no money and food to support the settlement of 500,000 people!"
Yang Biao was also surprised by Huangfu Song's toughness. You must know that although Huangfu Song was a military general, he always regarded people as Confucian generals and had a good relationship with their scholars. Such a simple and crude thing was not something that only a warrior like Dong Zhuo would do!
Especially since the Yang family is from Huayin County, Hongnong County, and the generals of Guanxi are also members of Huangfu Song's group, this is not the way to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, right?
Huangfu Song said: "There is a lot of wasteland in Wei County, which is sold for money and grain!"
Yang Biao was surprised and said: "Although these lands are barren, they have owners. How can the imperial court sell them without permission?"
Huangfu Song said: "If you don't want to sell the land, just find a way to raise money and food. Thunder Gong in Bingzhou is now ready to attack our Jizhou at any time. What are you still thinking about land? What Lei Gong did in Wei County before
I forgot, if you try to resist the Thunder God, when the Thunder God comes, not only will your family property be divided by the Thunder God, but you will also be hanged by the Thunder God!"
Tian Feng said: "The general is the most famous general in the Han Dynasty. With you here, how dare Lei Gong come to Jizhou!"
Huangfu Song said: "That's not certain. Looking at Lei Gong's achievements over the years, I may not be his opponent. At least I have never commanded an army of 100,000 people, but Lei Gong's 100,000-strong army has been fought for several times.
Times! Not to mention that Taihang Mountain overlooks the entire Jizhou, and they surge down. Jizhou has a thousand-mile defense line. How many places can my 100,000-strong army be able to defend?"
"So the military garrison in the four counties of Zhao State is imperative. Anyone who dares to stop the garrison is the enemy of the entire Jizhou. You must make this clear to the entire gentry. We are now engaged in a life-and-death war with Lei Gong. We cannot
If you kill Lei Gong, we will be the ones who die. When the time comes, all the money and food will belong to Lei Gong!"
These words are so familiar to them. This was not the slogan they used to kill Zhang Yanyu's party, but they didn't expect it to be used against them this time!
After the meeting, the governors from all over Jizhou left here dejectedly. Looking at today's situation, they also understood that the new cavalry general was even more unkind than Liu Bei.
After everyone left, only Huangfu Song and Yang Biao were left. Huangfu Song softened his tone and apologized: "Mr. Wen, in order to let everyone in Jizhou understand the crisis of the current situation, I have to ask you to scare the monkeys!"
Only then did Yang Biao suddenly realize why Huangfu Song had such a tough tone today. This was all to intimidate everyone in Jizhou!
"The imperial court sent me here just to assist Brother Yizhen. This is nothing!" But Yang Biao said strangely: "Lei Gong is really so powerful. Brother Yizhen now has 10 armies in his hands, but he still can't put down Lei Gong? Zhang Jiao had hundreds of soldiers at the beginning.
Thousands of Yellow Turban thieves were defeated by the 50,000 Northern Army commanded by Brother Yizhen!"
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly and said: "The Yellow Turban thieves can't compete with Lei Gong. After Dong Zhuo entered Bingzhou, he was defeated by Lei Gong.
Well, from these examples we can see how powerful Thunder Lord is.
The combat effectiveness of Lei Gong's soldiers is still higher than ours, and now Lei Gong's standing army alone has 200,000 people. In critical moments, Lei Gong can even arm an army of one million people. The 100,000 in our hands are more than enough for defense but not enough for offense. That's why I arrived
The reason why Jizhou will continue to cultivate land is to increase its military strength, otherwise let alone attack, even if it is defense, we cannot guard against Thunder God!"
Yang Biao couldn't believe it and said: "How is it possible? It has only been a few years since the rise of Thunder Lord. How can it be so powerful?"
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly and said: "But this is a fact. I established settlements in the four counties of Zhao State to defend Lei Gong. If we really want to defeat Lei Gong head-on, we must have an army of 500,000!"
"500,000?" Yang Biao said in surprise: "The Han Dynasty does not have such a huge army, and it cannot afford such a huge army! Did brother Yizhen miscalculate! Lei Gong only occupied a small Bingzhou, which was
How could the poorest Earth Escape of the Han Dynasty be so powerful!"
Huangfu Song said helplessly: "Lei Gong's rebellious experience cannot be applied to other rebellious experiences of my Han Dynasty. It can even be said that Lei Gong is an unprecedented rebel in history. His territory is not only in my Han Dynasty. Everyone has forgotten that he has defeated the entire western Xianbei."
People, half of the grassland is occupied by Thunder God! If we really count the territory, Thunder God’s territory in the grassland is not much smaller than that of the big man,”
Huangfu Song continued: "Lei Gong first annexed the entire southern Huns, which were probably more than 500,000 Hu people. He also annexed the entire western Xianbei people. In addition to the Hu people he annexed over the years, Lei Gong's territory was full of people.
There are nearly 1.5 million barbarians. These barbarians alone can make Lei Gong willing to recruit 200,000 cavalry.
He can easily recruit 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers among the millions of disaster victims. In addition to the 200,000 troops he already has, it can be said that as long as Lei Gong can support him, recruiting a million troops will not be a problem. I say 500,000 troops can be
Eliminating Thunder Lord will only reduce the combat effectiveness of the soldiers recruited by the refugees."
"When I talk about a country for my brother, Mr. Wen roughly understands the power of Thunder Lord. The current Thunder Lord is like the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Although it has many internal problems, it has a vast territory and strong national power. It is difficult to defeat it in a single battle or even solve its own problems.
The problem can also defeat Qin! So we Han people must also learn the method that Qin defeated Chu back then, and rely on our strong national power to defeat Lei Gong bit by bit!"
Gu Tuo
Yang Biao was speechless by Huangfu Song's words.
He had forgotten that most of Lei Gong's territory was actually on the grassland. If they hadn't forced millions of refugees to come over this time, the Tengjia Army would have become a rebel group with more barbarians than Han people. Not only did they rebel against the Han people,
The rebels also rebelled against the Xianbei people and the Huns. It would be impossible to say that Lei Gong was an unprecedented rebel! He rebelled no matter where he went. He was simply a born rebel!
At the same time, he was also shocked by the strength of Lei Gong. He originally thought that Lei Gong was the strongest rebel in the Han Dynasty and would be difficult to destroy without an army of more than 200,000. However, after hearing Huangfu Song's words today, he suddenly realized that he was naive. 20
Wan Dajun is not enough for Lei Gong to swallow him up!
A rebel like Lei Gong who straddles the Han Dynasty and the grassland cannot rely on common sense to speculate! No wonder Huangfu Song acted so vigorously and resolutely as soon as he came to Jizhou, and even used him as a state herd to kill chickens and scare monkeys. It turned out that the enemy the army had to face was so powerful.
, so much so that Huangfu Song also treated it with all his strength!
Yang Biao asked respectfully: "What does Brother Yizhen want from me?"
Huangfu Song said: "Garrisoning is the most important thing. It just so happens that the four counties of Zhao State are deserted and can accommodate a large number of military camps. Mr. Wen, you have been trying to find a way to place the refugees in these four counties in the past few years. There are 100,000 garrison soldiers."
It’s still too few, I hope there will be 200,000 field troops within 3 years!”
"200,000!" Yang Biao was surprised. This is the original 100,000 people in Huangfu Song's hands. This does not mean that Huangfu Song has 300,000 troops in his hands. This is almost more than 80% of the Han Dynasty's military strength. But thinking about what Huangfu Song just said
After Lei Gong can recruit an army of millions, these 300,000 people don't seem to be a lot.
"Then rely on these field soldiers to build fortresses and defenses on various strategic roads in the Taihang Mountains. The first step is to prepare for Lei Gong's attack on Jizhou! The second step is to eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits on the Taihang Mountains, solve the consequences of Jizhou's attack on Lei Gong, and at the same time occupy the Taihang Mountains.
A favorable terrain will prepare us for the next step in attacking Lei Gong."
"Finally, we need to stock up on food and grass. We need to build a large number of granaries in Wei County, Zhao State, Changshan, Zhongshan and other places. We need to stockpile 30 million stones, which is enough to feed the army for three years.
I don’t know why Lei Gong can resettle millions of refugees, but Bingzhou is a poor place after all, and the grassland is not to mention, they can’t even feed their own people, they can only rely on robbing us big men, the food must belong to Lei Gong
We have blocked Lei Gong in Bingzhou, mobilized a large army to constantly confront Lei Gong, and attracted the Tengjia Army to attack our fortress, so that the Tengjia Army cannot farm with peace of mind. As long as the Tengjia Army does not have enough food, the Tengjia Army will be destroyed in half a year at the earliest.
Three years later, Bingzhou will collapse due to lack of food!"
Yang Biao was stunned and said: "How can Jizhou come up with 30 million stones of grain? Even the entire Han treasury cannot come up with so much grain!"
In fact, Yang Biao was wrong. The Han Dynasty's treasury has never been rich since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Otherwise, if a county in Jizhou has a lot of money and grain, the treasury would naturally not be able to withdraw it. But this is not necessarily the case in Jizhou. Under Liu Bei's oppression a year ago
Next, Jizhou really provided 10 million shi of grain, otherwise Huangfusong would not have set such a goal.
So Huangfu Song said with a cold face: "Even Liu Xuande can ask the powerful nobles in Jizhou to produce 10 million stones of grain. Is it possible that I, Huangfu Yizhen, am not as good as Liu Xuande!"
Yang Biao said anxiously: "This is different. At that time, Zhang Yan became big, and the wealthy nobles in Jizhou had to rely on Liu Bei to suppress Zhang Yan!"
Huangfu Song interrupted: "Now Lei Gong is more than 10 times stronger than Zhang Yan. I haven't even added them to give 100 million shi of grain. This is already giving them face! Just tell the governors of various places how much each county gave Liu Bei.
, give me as much as Huangfu Song, if one stone is missing I will cause trouble for them!"
Yang Biao was speechless. Is there something wrong with Jizhou's feng shui? Why do the officials here not look like officials from the Han Dynasty?
Yang Biao had no choice. Although he was from the top noble family of the Han Dynasty, his prestige was still not as high as Huangfu Song's. The imperial court also positioned him to assist Huangfu Song. If Jizhou's position was not too important, the current Jizhou Mu would be
Huangfu Song.
Yang Biao could only repeat what Huangfu Song said to the other prefects, and focused on Huangfu Song's attitude at that time. If he really didn't do it, his official position might not be guaranteed. Now the court has to rely on Huangfu Song to deal with Lei Gong. Anyone who dares to fight with him
Anyone who goes against Huangfu Song will definitely be captured by the imperial court!
When the governors from various places in Jizhou saw the tax amount set by Huangfu Song, they all cursed, Liu Bei was at war, how could he be the same as usual? Many noble families even wanted them to reduce this year's taxes because they donated food.
Now, Huangfu Song not only refuses to grant exemptions, but also wants everyone to continue to pay Liu Bei the same taxes. This does not mean that all the noble families under their rule will rebel!
At the same time, Yang Biao also reported the situation in Jizhou to the Luoyang court. After all, Huangfu Song wanted to increase his army by 200,000. Even if it was to station soldiers, it was a big deal, so of course he had to report it to the court.
It's a pity that although Yang Biao worked diligently and cautiously in Jizhou, the Luoyang court had no time to care about the small things in Jizhou!
The death of Emperor Ling caused complete chaos in the entire Han court!
After Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away in the Jiade Hall of Nangong, Jian Shuo first took advantage of Emperor Ling's death and wanted to attack He Jin, a powerful general, and then made Liu Xie the emperor. Of course, his result failed, and He Jin escaped.
Now that He Jin had taken control of the government, he resented Jian Shuo for trying to kill him, and secretly planned to kill him. However, after Jian Shuo failed in his assassination, he knew that he had become the person He Jin must kill, and he did not dare to leave the palace at all.
After a while, He Jin found it really difficult to kill Jian Shuo.
Yuan Shao, who was beside him, fanned the evil wind and lit a will-o'-the-wisp, hoping to expand He Jin's revenge from Jian Shuo to the entire eunuch party, and persuaded He Jin to kill all the eunuchs in one go.
But He Jin was not a fool. Jian Shuo wanted to kill him because he was in charge of the Xiyuan Army and affected his status.
But Zhang Rang and the others only gained power by relying on the emperor. Now that the emperor is dead, the only one they can rely on is her sister, the Queen Mother He. Isn't this equivalent to taking refuge in him? He killed all the eunuchs. Isn't this equivalent to killing all the eunuchs?
Losing one's own power.
After He Jin discovered Yuan Shao's evil intentions, he stopped listening to his advice!
