Jia Rong turned over and dismounted, and with a bang, he knelt down in the direction of the people. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army followed their general and knelt on the ground. The two parties were in a stalemate.
Not only Zhang Li was shocked, but the Hanshi who followed Jia Rong to Lingzhou in the prefecture were also shocked. They had only seen people kneeling to officials, and they had never seen an official kneel to the people. However, Jia Rong's kneeling
, but it touched the deepest chord in their hearts, and they spontaneously fell to their knees.
Jia Rong knelt down to these common people because they were worthy of kneeling. The soldiers followed him and knelt down because Jia Rong knelt down. It was really beyond common sense for these so-called scribes to kneel down, but thinking about their status as humble scholars might make them feel relieved.
.
There is a reason why these people did not follow Jia Rong to Lingzhou. Their ancestral home is in Beidi County, and all their fields are here. Even if they go to Lingzhou, it will only cause a burden, not to mention that Beidi County suddenly opened up so much wasteland last year.
, are waiting for harvest, but their hearts are tied to Jia Rong. If Jia Rong needs them one day, I believe his mother will not make any excuses.
The earth will not turn without anyone. After Jia Rong left, how should these people live? But that figure is firmly remembered in their hearts. Beidi County is at the border with the Qiang people.
, the folk customs are fierce, and the people here are also the most bloody and courageous to resist. Unlike the people in the Central Plains, no matter how severely oppressed and exploited they are, they will at most choose to leave their homes and live in other places, but the people in the border counties are not like that.
For example, when the Qiang people rebelled and could not stand the officials of the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people would fight and resist.
After hearing the news of Jia Rong's resignation, the four major aristocratic families in Beidi County were very happy. After all, Jia Rong was not a member of the aristocratic family, and when Jia Rong was in office, no matter what he did, he did it for the people. Due to his power, the aristocratic family
Dare to be angry but dare not say anything. Now that Jia Rong has left, it is expected that the people who will come to take up the post will be the children of the aristocratic families. By then, it will be the time for these aristocratic families to rise, but the food they lent to Jia Rong has been lost.
, but after Jia Rong leaves Beidi County, the food prices here will no longer be controlled by Jia Rong. In this way, the losses can be made up.
I don’t know where Jia Rong got the stupid businessmen, but he lowered the price of food again and again, to an extremely low level. However, those businessmen were like fools, as if money was nothing in their eyes, which also led to
A major source of the aristocratic family suffered a direct loss. After many negotiations, they did not buy it at all. On the surface, the aristocratic family did not dare to say anything, but secretly they wished that Jia Rong would die early.
With Jia Rong gone, the grain and rice store in Beidi County also lost its guarantee. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and it could not resist the pressure of aristocratic families, so it could only lower the price of grain, which aroused public resentment for a while.
Only when a good person leaves, will people remember his goodness. Thinking of the fact that when Jia Rong was in Beidi County, the price of food in Beidi County had been very low. At this moment, the people also understood something.
Zhang Xiu led five hundred cavalry to stay in Beidi County and was responsible for patrolling Beidi County.
When Yuan Pang came to Beidi County with great fanfare with his holy orders, no one came out to greet him, not even the officials of the prefecture showed up. Only Zhang Xiu led 500 cavalry and dozens of family members.
Welcome outside the city.
Yuan Pang heard countless compliments along the way. At this time, he represented the Yuan family. He could eat wherever he went. This also made Yuan Pang feel a little light. His failure in fighting the Qiang people also made him feel lighter.
He completely forgot that he was a victorious general and the pillar of the Han Dynasty. He went to Beidi County to defend the territory of the Han Dynasty.
"Where is Jia Rong, the former governor of Beidi County?" Yuan Pang asked arrogantly on his horse. Since he became a victorious general, Yuan Pang naturally learned to ride a horse, but his equestrian skills were not flattering.
Being pampered and privileged in the palace made Yuan Pang a little bloated, but he looked like a lucky general.
Wang Guyue paid homage to the crowd and said, "Jia Rong, the former governor of Beidi County, has gone to Lingzhou to take up his post."
Yuan Pang's face kept changing. He left the place of administration without receiving the imperial edict. Yuan Pang could have accused the Han Emperor of punishing Jia Rong in this name, but he didn't want to do so. The situation in Beidi County was different from other places.
The place is located in a border county, and Qiang people may invade at any time. What Yuan Pang wants is the army in Jia Rong's hands. As long as the army is in hand, Jia Rong's life or death is not what he has to worry about. Now, suddenly
Hearing that Wang Gu said that Jia Rong had gone to Lingzhou to take up his post, Yuan Pang became a little panicked.
"What's going on with the cavalry behind you?" Looking at the cavalry behind Wang Gu, Yuan Pang's heart calmed down a lot. From the appearance of these cavalry, it is not difficult to see that this is a powerful force. The most important thing is that
This is the cavalry team.
Zhang Xiu bowed his hands on his horse and said, "I am a subordinate of General Jia Rongjia of the Xiliang Army. I have been ordered to wait here for your Excellency's arrival."
Yuan Pang said with a smile: "That's great. When these cavalry are organized under my command, you will be the commander of the cavalry."
"General Jia promised before leaving that as soon as your troops arrive, I will immediately lead the troops back to Lingzhou." Zhang Xiu had no intention of dismounting.
"Bold, my lord is the prefect of Beidi County. I don't expect that a small Lingzhou County magistrate would dare to call himself a general. My lord thinks highly of you, so I let you stay in Beidi County." A general behind Yuan Pang said.
scolded.
Zhang Xiu just glanced at the famous general and looked elsewhere, with disdain evident in his words.
How could the generals tolerate Zhang Xiu's instigation? They were "elite soldiers" from Luoyang, the capital. They received countless compliments along the way. Never had they ever been treated with such contempt. They raised their weapons, slapped their horses and charged towards Zhang Xiu. Yuan
It was half a minute too late when Pang wanted to stop him.
I saw Zhang Xiu lift the bright silver spear, and with just three clicks, he shot down the general from his horse. The tip of Zhang Xiu's spear was only an inch away from the general's neck, and the cavalry behind Zhang Xiu let out a roar.
Yuan Pang said hurriedly: "Young general, keep some people under your command."
Zhang Xiu put away his bright silver spear and returned to the team. The five hundred cavalry were also on alert, looking at the team of about a thousand people on the opposite side with hatred.
"As long as the general is willing to stay, you will be the general in the city, and all the soldiers under this prefect will be under your control." Seeing Zhang Xiu's superb martial arts, Yuan Pang threw out the important code.
Zhang Xiu cupped his fists and said, "I appreciate your kindness, and I'll take my leave."
Five hundred cavalry rushed towards Lingzhou, leaving only dust in the sky.
"It's a pity to have such a general." Yuan Pang sighed.
A general worshiped: "Your Excellency is the governor of Beidi County, why don't you forcibly stop them from staying? What's more, Jia Rong of Lingzhou is just one of your subordinates. As long as you give me an order, how can Jia Rong not obey it?"
.”
Yuan Pang stroked his beard proudly and said with a smile: "This is very true, this is very true."
"Who are you?" Yuan Pang finally noticed dozens of family members.
Wang Guyue paid homage to everyone: "My lord, I am Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family." Then, Wang Gu introduced the heads of the other three aristocratic families and some outstanding descendants of the family to Yuan Pang.
Yuan Pang laughed and said: "Very good, come with me to the city."
Even though there were no people to welcome him, Yuan Pang was still very happy because he didn't notice it at all.
Looking at the empty prefect's mansion, Yuan Pang asked: "Where are the other officials in the prefect's mansion?" It stands to reason that even if Jia Rong takes away the troops in the city, it is impossible to take away the officials, and those officials will not leave with them.
After all, Jia Rong was demoted.
Wang Gu worshiped: "When Jia Rong left, the officials of the Prefecture also left with him."
Yuan Pang said meaningfully, "Tomorrow, send the outstanding juniors from your clan to the Prefect's Mansion."
Yuan Pang's words were like a reassuring shot, which made the family feel completely relieved. The family was very worried that the next governor would still not take the family into consideration like Jia Rong did.
Looking at the empty Beidi County Prefect's Mansion, Yuan Pang turned around and said: "Tomorrow, I will send you outstanding children from aristocratic families to the Prefect's Mansion."
The four family heads bowed in unison: "Your Excellency is wise." Yuan Pang's words were like a reassuring shot, making these aristocratic families completely relieved.
As a member of a well-established family, Yuan Pang had no doubts about him.
"You all go down, I'm going to have a rest."
Jia Rong left the territory without permission without receiving the Holy Order. Yuan Pang could directly report to the Holy Emperor and punish him. The reason why Yuan Pang did not pursue Jia Rong was mainly because the military power was in Jia Rong's hands. When the military power in Jia Rong's hands was
The gradual deprivation was when Yuan Pang punished Jia Rong.
Yuan Pang has no ill feelings towards Jia Rong. On the contrary, the two had a relationship when they were fighting against the Qiang people. However, Yuan Shu repeatedly told Yuan Pang to get rid of Jia Rong when he took office. Yuan Pang was not a direct descendant of the Yuan family.
Naturally, he must try his best to satisfy Yuan Shu, the future head of the family.
In Yuan Pang's opinion, being the governor of Beidi County is more comfortable than being the governor of the court. In the court, you have to take care of others, and you may get into trouble if you are not careful. However, this is not the case in Beidi County.
He, Yuan Pang, was the uncle and the local emperor; and it was easy to get credit in the border counties, and he could rise to the official position even faster.
The flattery of officials from various places along the way made Yuan Pang full of an unspeakable desire for war. This time Yuan Pang took office and led a thousand soldiers, of which 500 were soldiers sent by the Han Emperor and the other 500 were soldiers.
The family's private soldiers were not enough to watch, so conscription orders were sent to all counties in Beidi County.
Suddenly, Yuan Pang remembered something and hurried outside the house without resting.
Looking at the empty warehouse, Yuan Pang said angrily: "Jia Rong, you bullied me too much." Those aristocratic families were eager to see Jia Rong and Yuan Pang fight, so how could they explain that the warehouse in Beidi County had always been empty?
Woolen cloth.
Officials from various counties in Beidi County were forced to stay in various places by Jia Rong. If the officials left, it would inevitably cause local unrest. Since they are for the people, they should put themselves into the people's shoes. Officials from each county are no exception.
They were all poor soldiers. Although there are very few poor soldiers today, only generals are selected from among the cripples. Those with a little talent will be reused. According to later generations, experience is the most important, and each county has also left troops with different numbers.
