Yuan Shu said, "I am the only one who is smart. No matter who wins or loses in this Sili war, Lei Gong is the biggest winner. All the elites in the imperial court have killed each other. Who has time to resist Lei Gong's attack?"
I am afraid that Sili and Jizhou will be annexed by Lei Gong this time. Sili and Jizhou will not be protected. How long can the Central Plains withstand under the hundreds of thousands of Lei Gong's cavalry? If you want to fight Lei Gong, you must weaken Lei Gong.
The power of cavalry.”
"Yangzhou has a dense network of rivers, which is not suitable for cavalry at all. Only here can we withstand the attack of the Thunder Cavalry. If we want to dominate, we must occupy Yangzhou and Xuzhou and rely on the dense river network in the two places to offset the power of the Thunder Cavalry.
, we even have to fortify the walls and clear the country in Xuzhou and Yuzhou, move all the people to Yangzhou, and rely on Yangzhou as our rear to have the conditions to fight against Lei Gong, so now we have to take advantage of the time when all parties are paying attention to the Sili War.
Occupy Jiujiang County, and rely on Jiujiang County to completely capture the entire Yangzhou! Then rely on Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou to resist Lei Gong!"
At this time, Yuan Shu's men suddenly realized that their chief officer was already thinking about fighting for world hegemony!
Yan Xiang hesitated and said: "Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, has a very high prestige. If we attack him like this, we will have no name?"
Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was appointed by Dong Zhuo. Now Dong Zhuo has become a national traitor. The emperor has called on all the righteous men in the world to destroy Dong Zhuo's remnants. And this Liu Yao is not Dong Zhuo's party member. We are also attacking Liu Yao."
Cutting off Dong Zhuo's party members! This can be regarded as helping the emperor to eliminate traitors! How could he be so unknown?"
Li Fengchi asked: "Liu Bei is in Jingzhou. He will watch us attack Liu Yao. I'm afraid that when Liu Yao asks Liu Bei to send troops, we won't be able to stay in Yuzhou any longer!"
Yuan Shu's men were all frightened by Liu Bei's attack! Naturally, they were worried!
Yuan Shu said: "Then Liu Bei, a hypocrite, claims to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and is indifferent to the imperial edict from King Qin. He doesn't want the reputation he has accumulated! Just watch, Liu Bei will soon lead his army to the north of Chang'an City.
Then no one can hinder our actions!"
Yang Hong thought for a while and said: "General, how about we secretly gather our troops first, and then we will take action after Liu Bei really leads the army to serve the king!"
There was no way Yuan Shu and his subordinates had just left Novice Village and were massacred by Liu Bei, a max-level boss. Now they were really scared to the core of Liu Bei.
Yuan Shu was a bit worried about Liu Bei despite his fierce appearance, so he said: "Okay, let's see what Liu Bei does!"
It didn't take long for Yuan Shu to learn that Liu Bei was marching towards Wuguan with an army of 30,000 men. Now he was finally relieved!
So Yuan Shu responded to Lieutenant Yang Biao's call and summoned 40,000 troops to attack Liu Yao in Jiujiang County in the name of clearing out Dong Zhuo's remnants. Liu Yao had no idea that he would be attacked by Yuan Shu, and he was caught off guard and beaten.
They retreated and soon lost the entire Jiujiang County!
Yanzhou, Taishan County, Fenggao County!
Cao Cao led his army to the prefect of Taishan County, and found that the entire Taishan County was almost turned into a white land due to the rampage of the Yellow Turban Army and Zang Ba's Taishan County. It can be said that it was completely impoverished.
Faced with this situation, Cao Cao led his army to vigorously fight against corruption. He arrested all the county magistrates and county officials, and killed them all for taking bribes and perverting the law.
family, use the property of these corrupt officials to fund the reconstruction of Taishan County.
Then Cao Cao began to recruit refugees from all over to farm. Regardless of whether there were Yellow Turbans or Taishan bandits among them, as long as they were willing to go out and farm, he would definitely allocate land to these refugees for farming, and help them buy cattle and farm tools.
Harvest 50% in three years and 30% in the next three years. This is basically the same as Cao Cao's policy of farming in history!
At this time, Cao Cao's reputation around Taishan County was very good and very high. When the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Cao Cao was worshiped as the Cavalry Commander and was ordered to join forces with Huangfu Song and others to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan. As a result, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated.
Beheaded tens of thousands.
Then he was moved to Jinan Prime Minister. During his tenure as Jinan Prime Minister, Cao Cao managed affairs as before. There are more than ten state-owned counties in Jinan, and most of the county officials are dependent on the powerful, corrupt, perverting the law, and have no scruples. Cao Cao ignored all previous state ministers.
.When Cao Cao took office, he vigorously organized and dismissed eight out of ten officials at once. Jinan was shaken, and corrupt officials fled one after another. As a result, "politics and religion flourished, and a county was peaceful."
It's a pity that the corrupt officials at that time all had backings, and many of them even had the Ling Emperor, because they were all officials sold from the Ling Emperor. Now they are fine, and they have not been working for a few months, and the capital
Not to mention that they were not retrieved, but many people were beheaded by Cao Cao!
This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many corrupt officials. Emperor Ling also felt that this might affect his business, but Cao Cao was Cao Song's son after all and it was not easy to punish him, so Emperor Ling transferred him to other places to torment him. Later, even
Transfer him to Luoyang City to become Yilang and let him do nothing!
So at this time, Cao Cao was regarded by the people as a famous upright official and a great hero! In Qingzhou, Yanzhou had a very high prestige, and the people trusted him very much. As soon as he recruited refugees, whether it was the Yellow Turban Army or the Taishan Army
The refugees below all flocked to Taishan County to become common people under Cao Cao's rule.
Taishan County began to recover in a short period of time, but the hundreds of thousands of refugees also quickly consumed the wealth that Cao Cao had confiscated from his home. Cao Cao, who was still trying to figure out how to overcome the difficulties, received a divine assist from Dong Zhuo!
The imperial court issued a warning order, and Cao Cao took the most active action. He divided the army into more than a dozen groups and handed them over to Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, all of whom were close men in the family. Then they jointly raided the homes of all the great merchants in Taishan County!
This wave allowed Cao Cao to obtain millions of stone grain and nearly 1 billion yuan in goods, properties, houses and shops! Cao Cao distributed the fields to the refugees and sold the goods, houses and shops to the local noble families. This time
Not only did Cao Cao use the funds for reclamation, he even recruited 30,000 new troops. He planned to train his army well and prepare to go north to fight against Lei Gong, the most rebellious person in the world, to see if he is really that powerful!
At this time, Yang Biao came to Beijing and King Qin's imperial edict completely disrupted his plan!
"Yang Biao has betrayed the country, how could he kill Dong Zhuo at this time? He thought that Thunder Lord did not grow fast enough, and he still wanted to drag the big man to be buried with him! How could he be so stupid!" Cao Cao said angrily, frightening him.
None of the civil and military confidants around me dared to speak!
