A lazy voice echoed in the slightly empty room. The person who made the voice was lying lazily in the floating hot bath, enjoying the exquisite wine, food and gentle service. Outside the pond,
The two people were standing there respectfully. If you look carefully, you can see that big beads of sweat are constantly oozing out from their foreheads.
"This old slave is incompetent and has let your Majesty down. Please punish him." A calm but high-pitched voice replied.
"Forget it, just ignore those nagging guys. Although Zhang Jiao has some skills, this is not what we want. Look at those ministers who are anxiously walking around. They are actually doing this on weekdays.
My family is prosperous and busy, but who really cares about the safety and prosperity of my big man? Huh, if I don’t let you peel off your skin this time, I, Liu Hong, will be the emperor for nothing."
"Your Majesty's plan is naturally brilliant. How can those clowns compete with Your Majesty?"
The flattering sound obviously made Liu Hong very comfortable. He casually hugged a beautiful girl next to him and played with her body, making the beautiful girl smile.
"But it's always bad to go too far, and we are a serious business family. If we don't sell some good goods, how can we get the buyers to pay willingly? I'm right, father and mother."
"Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom" x2.
"Father, when you go down later, inform our uncle Guo and ask him to prepare money. Although he has made meritorious deeds, the rules cannot be changed, so the sooner you gather the money, the sooner you can feel at ease."
.”
"Yes, the old slave will urge the guy to move more quickly." Zhang Rang answered Liu Hong's instructions softly, and then retreated with Zhao Zhong, leaving only the screams and begging for mercy of women coming from behind from time to time.
At the same time, another place seemed less peaceful.
"I really underestimated him. After all, he is from a well-known family and has an enviable unique skill."
Looking at the battle reports sent back from Li Shushi by his confidants, especially the process in which Li Shushi used sky fire to ravage the enemy camp, which eventually led to the enemy's camp roar incident and the collapse of the entire army, was even more impressive. Zhang Jiao also had to admit it.
,Although Li Shushi does not have a good understanding and understanding of his own magic, he himself has something to keep him going.
Therefore, the document appointing Li Shushi as the commander-in-chief was sent to Li Shushi, and it also stated that Li Shushi could decide his own action goals without being subject to the control of other regions, as long as he was personally responsible for Zhang Jiao. However, all military supplies in the future would be
They must raise their own funds, and at the same time, the seizures from the Xindu battle must be handed over to Guangzong Zhangjiao in proportion as soon as possible.
Li Shushi felt very happy from the bottom of his heart for such a document that was almost the same as a sex license. Although Zhang Jiao stated in it that Li Shushi needed to be controlled by him, considering Zhang Jiao's lifespan, Li Shushi still did not think that he would
No matter how long you have to be restrained. On the contrary, once Zhang Jiao dies, you can legitimately do what you want to do.
As for the belongings mentioned by Zhang Jue, Li Shushi would have prepared a copy for them even without Zhang Jue's reminder. Now that Zhang Jue loves him so much, Li Shushi will not delay. It doesn't matter if he keeps it in his hands anyway.
Interest can be earned.
Li Shushi sent two newly promoted small bosses, Chen Bai and Wan Bing, to take charge of this matter. The two were members of the Old Taiping Taoist congregation. Li Shushi was even more grateful for the opportunity to meet his idol Zhang Jiao. So Li Shushi didn't have to at all.
I was worried that the two of them would miss out on their gift.
Later, Li Shushi sent Guan Yu, Liao Chun and Wei Yue to lead 500 Yellow Turban troops to escort the treasures of Anping King Liu Xu and some other captured materials to lurk in Xihe County, Bingzhou, to open up a retreat for Li Shushi in the future. Li Shushi believed that Guan Yu
Don't be arrogant, with his calmness, wisdom and force, plus the help of Liao Chun and Wei Yue who have many connections in Bingzhou, he will definitely be able to establish a foothold in Bingzhou.
Although little Liao Chun is a little puzzled by Li Shushi's actions, since his idol Guan Yu has no objection to Li Shushi's orders, the stupid boy who is also a green-skinned kid who has been almost successfully brainwashed by Guan Yu will not object. It's like
As his idol's idol once said.
“If you understand, you must implement it, if you don’t understand it, you must implement it, and you must deepen your understanding during the implementation process and continue to implement it.”
Li Shushi did a lot of harm to those historical figures who were once all-powerful.
Li Shushi, on the other hand, led his team to plow the other counties in Anping with the help of Guan Hai, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and Lu Bu. However, this time Li Shushi did not leave any money for himself, instead of rewarding his subordinates.
Officers and soldiers are distributed to poor people. They don't have much trouble with powerful people from well-known aristocratic families. As long as they don't resist desperately, they don't do much intrusion.
But even so, after more than ten days, Li Shushi's troops were equipped with brand new equipment and their food and wages were much sufficient.
Within a month, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be unstoppable and swept across the Central Plains. At this time, the aristocratic families in Luoyang City finally couldn't sit still.
They are not like the eunuchs, because Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have known about Liu Hong's plan for a long time, so they have notified themselves and their allies' children in advance to transfer their property and return it to their families. Once the Yellow Turban Army is nearby, they will also
He fled immediately, so the loss can be said to be very minimal. It was just some houses and fields.
However, the house can be rebuilt and the fields can be recovered, which can also lead to post-war employment issues. But it is different for aristocratic families. Family members are killed, property is taken away, and the books on which the family relies are often burned.
The loss was definitely not something that the family could bear. In desperation, they could only fall into Liu Hong's scheme.
Wushen, the third month of the New Year. On this day, He Jin "finally" collected the 50 million yuan needed to become a general. Liu Hong was not polite and directly threw out the edict he had written long ago. At the same time, he ordered him to "
Lead the five battalions of Yulin soldiers on the left and right to station in Duting, prepare weapons, and guard the capital." Even if he is sent away.
Of course, the real fun begins now.
Liu Hong then issued an edict to set up military garrison commanders specializing in military affairs at Hangu Pass, Dagong Pass, Yique Pass, Sheyuan Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Xuanmen Pass, Mengjin Ferry and Xiaopingjin Ferry.
He ordered all localities to be on guard against bandits and bandits, and ordered the governors of various states and counties to prepare for battle, train soldiers, prepare weapons, and summon rebels. If there was anyone who neglected the orders, the subordinates could appeal to the superiors, and some prefects and county magistrates who had performed poorly in the early stage were replaced.
Captain Baguan has mastered the only way for the circulation of goods, so he is very profitable. When the prefecture magistrate is replaced, a new successor needs to be replaced, so this contains a considerable employment fee.
Of course, the gentry would not be led by Liu Hong, and they quickly withdrew their representative - Huangfu Song, the nephew of the famous and upright veteran general Huangfu Gui.
Huangfu Song and many ministers submitted a petition in the hope that Liu Hong could lift the ban on the party, and donated the palace money and fine horses from the Western Garden to the sergeants to improve morale. What's more, another alternative among the eunuchs, Lu Qiang, also petitioned. He expressed his worries about the merging of the gentry with Zhang Jiao.
It would be better to kill Liu Hong if he was the first stingy man to take money out of his own purse. If Huangfu Song's watch and seals were on normal, Liu Hong might be so angry that he would tremble all over. However, Now...
Within five days, the nobles could only look helplessly at the gorgeous performance of the emperor above their heads.
Liu Hong pardoned the party members. This was supposed to be good news for the nobles to celebrate, but unfortunately what happened next caught them off guard and made them look up to the sky at a 45° angle.
Liu Hong ordered the ministers to donate horses, bows, swords and other weapons and armor, and recommended the descendants of various aristocratic families and people with deep knowledge of strategy to come to the public transportation department for interviews. Of course, in order to set an example, Liu Hong also painfully took action from himself. He took out a little bit from his small treasury to use as a reference. I guess if there is that guy who wants to compare his stinginess with his eyes, he will definitely confiscate the three feet of his wealth.
As for the appointments of the selected elites, Liu Hong can happily count the continuously growing income in his pocket. However, in comparison, people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are also looking forward to such a rare opportunity. So. It is said that some things are just Zhou Yu putting a yellow cover on them. Anyway, everyone can take what they need.
At the same time, he also introduced a policy similar to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for those prisoners with considerable wealth: as long as you pay enough money, you can be released from prison and participate in the "rescue" organized by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you will have the opportunity to earn some salt in the future. Yu Fansheng will be granted the title of Marquis and General. But if you have no money, then I'm sorry, you can only join the cannon fodder army. If you are a man of human rights, just dream.
Finally, the selected "elite" were handed over to three Zhonglang, Beizhonglang General Lu Zhi, Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, and You Zhonglang General Zhu Jun, and let them lead the troops to judge. This time Liu Hong did not take the opportunity to rip off the skin. , but if Li Shushi were here, he would definitely say: "That's just letting you run fifty meters first, and when you think you can relax, they will tie you up and pull you back."
In this way, the vigorous battle to annihilate the Yellow Turbans finally began.
p.s. The Taoyuan Three are sworn brothers. Without Guan Yu, who will be the sworn brothers of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei? If you are interested, please guess and there will be prizes for correct guesses. Tip: This person is closely related to the title of this book~
