368. Chapter Three Hundred Sixty Nine: The Hero Liu Bei
In the next few days, Liu Lin met with some officials in Bingzhou one by one, especially generals such as Xu Huang and Qu Yi, and assigned them to Guan Yu's account, but the prerequisite was that they must first return to Jizhou to study at the Military Academy
, the two also know that after the military academy is completed, their original tribe will no longer exist. However, both of them are smart people. Since they have surrendered to Liu Lin, they must abide by Liu Lin's orders and must not
There are differences.
After finishing all these things, Liu Lin saw that things were almost on track, so Liu Lin marched to Jizhou with more than 30,000 troops. Although Zhao Yun made good progress in Jizhou, it was only a military victory. Jizhou is the granary of the world.
, is the richest place for the Han Dynasty, and he does not want riots to continue everywhere in Jizhou in the future.
After Liu Bei heard about Yuan Shao's promise to fight Liu Lin, he immediately led his army to Luoyang. Of course, before leaving, he abducted Yang Feng. Although Liu Bei's original intention was to get Yang Feng's army, he did not expect Jia Xu to do so.
We had already prepared for it, and even Xu Huang, the general who followed Yang Feng, was not willing to follow Yang Feng, but it was still good to get a general like Yang Feng.
Luoyang, since the defeat of Dong, various princes have left this city of the Emperor to Yuan Shao, but since Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, Yuan Shao no longer attaches much importance to Luoyang. After all, Luoyang City has long been in dilapidated condition.
Jizhou was prosperous, so he sent General Jiao Chu as the guard of Luoyang. Jiao Chu was originally a junior high school in the army. Because he gave Guo Tu three beauties from Wu, he was recommended by Guo Tu to Yuan Shao and became the guard of Luoyang. Since then,
After becoming the guard of Luoyang, Jiao Chu became domineering in Luoyang city and openly raped women in the downtown area of Luoyang, making the people of Luoyang hate him to the core.
On this day, Jiao Chu was having fun in his mansion. A general from the army rushed to him to report that an army of more than 20,000 people appeared outside Luoyang City. When Jiao Chu heard this, he quickly rushed towards it with his bodyguards.
At the top of Luoyang City, when we arrived at the east gate of Luoyang City, we saw fierce flags outside, and the huge Liu Ziqi was particularly eye-catching. We saw a general wearing armor under the flag, holding two swords, riding a white horse towards the city.
When Jiao Chu came, he saw that it was Bohai Governor Liu Bei. He was extremely surprised and shouted loudly: "Liu Shijun, why did you bring troops to Luoyang?"
Liu Bei stopped his horse, sat on it, and replied loudly: "The Xiliang army has made some changes, and I have come to help the general defend the city under the order of the lord!" Jiao Huo muttered to himself, "I'm responsible for the Xiliang army's change.
What's the matter?" But despite this, he did not doubt what Liu Bei said, and just said: "Then please give Liu Shijun the order of the lord, so that I can let you enter the city!" When Liu Bei heard this, he said in a deep voice
"General Jiao, you and I are old acquaintances. Could it be that I still deceive you? It depends on the Lord's order. It won't be too late to wait until we enter the city!" Jiao Chu heard Liu Bei's dissatisfaction.
He secretly cursed Liu Bei's eighteen generations of ancestors, but still ordered the sergeant to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.
When Liu Bei saw the suspension bridge lowered, a smile appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his hand, and the army behind him followed. As soon as the city gate opened, Liu Bei led his army into the city. The sudden change made Jiao anxious.
He was shocked and shouted: "Liu Shijun, why are you doing this?" Before Liu Bei could speak, he saw a general beside him flying past. A spear penetrated Jiao's chest and died.
On the spot, Liu Bei saw that it was Yang Feng. He did not bother to express his appreciation to Yang Feng, but loudly said: "Jiao Chu is causing trouble to the people. I, the general, have been ordered by my lord to come and kill Jiao Chu. Anyone who resists will be treated as a slave."
Anyone who offends his comrades will be killed without mercy!"
Jiao Chu was not only unpopular among the people, but also unpopular among the military. When Jiao Chu died, only a few of his confidants questioned him, and everyone else remained silent. Liu Bei quickly ordered the capture of Jiao Chu's trusted generals, and allowed his generals to take control of the east gate.
Liu Bei ordered the four gates to be closed, and a bloody purge began. After a day of purging, all generals related to Jiao Chu were eliminated by Liu Bei. He also selected some prestigious sergeants from the army to serve as subordinates.
Officers, in this way, these officers were grateful for Liu Bei's appointment and pledged their loyalty to Liu Bei. Liu Bei quickly took control of the Luoyang garrison.
Later, Liu Bei ordered a public trial of Jiao Chu's associates at Caishikou in Luoyang, which made the people of Luoyang feel grateful to Liu Bei. Liu Bei took advantage of the situation and announced at Caishikou that he would divide the unowned land among Luoyang people and military officers.
, caused the people and soldiers of Luoyang to cheer, and in a short period of time, Liu Bei's name resounded throughout the sky in Luoyang.
After Liu Bei won the hearts and minds of the army and the people, he quickly dispatched troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban rebels around Luoyang City. Coupled with Yang Feng's recruitment, many Yellow Turban troops came to Liu Bei. In just over a month, Liu Bei
Gathering 100,000 troops in Luoyang, he ordered Yang Feng to capture Hanoi, and sent troops to capture Hulao Pass. He occupied Hangu Pass in the west and Hulao in the east. He seemed to have become a prince. Zhu Jun, who was originally stationed in Zhongmou, was captured by Xiliang.
Forced by the army Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Bei. For a time Liu Bei became a dazzling prince.
Liu Lin marched all the way and did not interfere with Zhao Yun's military deployment. He only asked Hua Xiong to command 25,000 troops to support Zhao Yun, while he led 5,000 elite cavalry to deal with the aftermath. He visited every city and town.
, first went to visit the famous gentry, but for some gentry, especially those who bullied the people, Liu Lin used the most direct and effective method, that is, killing, so wherever Liu Lin went, there would be killing.
It also caused many wealthy families to flee to the Central Plains in fear. For a time, Liu Lin's name was the incarnation of the devil among wealthy families.
Liu Lin led his army to Zhongshan County and ordered the troops to station there. Zhongshan County was originally the Kingdom of Zhongshan. After Yuan Shao took charge of Jizhou, it was renamed Zhongshan County. The reason why Liu Lin went to Zhongshan County was because there was a wealthy family living in Zhongshan County.
That is the Zhen family. If Yuan Shao relied on the Four Generations and Three Dukes to gain a foothold in Jizhou, then the Zhen family relied on the family's reputation to become a powerful gentry in Jizhou. They built bridges and roads, helped orphans and widows, and were loved by the people.
, In addition, the Zhen family has a deep relationship with the imperial court, and many children from poor families rely on them to get ahead. The reason why Yuan Shao was able to take charge of Jizhou quickly has a great relationship with the Zhen family. Because Jizhou
Many officials came from the Zhen family. Liu Lin knew that if he wanted to establish a firm foothold in Jizhou, he had to visit the Zhen family.
