Liu Jian naturally knew the name Chu Yan, and he also knew that this man would dominate Taihang, Hebei in the future. In the late Han Dynasty, he was one of the rare thieves and bandits who competed in the world as the overlord of one party. Moreover, he was also the leader of Yuan Shao except Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan.
Outside, one of the strongest opponents.
What is more interesting is that after Chu Yan surrendered to Cao Cao, he was granted the title of Marquis of Anguo Pavilion by the imperial court.
I don’t know if Cao Cao at that time deliberately transferred the Anguo Tinghou food town that had lasted for three generations to Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao’s great rival when he was in Hebei.
Today's Zhang Yan is not as famous as he was in the history of Heishan. He is young at this time and not as old as Liu Jian, but he is quite prestigious in the land of Zhending.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the connections between counties and villages became increasingly close, especially in the areas of Jizhou and Youzhou. Not only the powerful and prominent families contacted and colluded with each other, but even the slightly prestigious manor farmers in the townships also connected with each other.
We work together as a team, so the cohesion in the village is unprecedentedly strong.
Especially in Jizhou, because of its geographical particularity, this situation is more obvious than in other states and counties.
However, the cohesiveness of each family in the township is strong, which has advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that when something happens, all the families in the village unite together, the cohesion is unprecedentedly strong, and the neighbors are united. As long as there is a suitable leader, the village can handle the matter very efficiently.
Everything has two sides, and all the ethnic groups in the village have joined together to comply with the saying that water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it.
Seeing Liu Hao's useless look, Liu Jian really had a headache.
Liu Jian also understood this.
However, the Luoyang Four Prefectures and the Shang Shutai took the official documents at the same time, which means that all Sanhe soldiers stationed in Nangong County will go to the northwest battlefield. In other words, from this moment on, Liu Jian will not be able to dispatch Sanhe soldiers to Changshan to suppress the bandits.
.
Mud is just mud after all, and no matter how hard you try, you can't hold it up against the wall.
"Your Majesty, why don't I send troops from the surrounding counties to come for reinforcements?" Liu Jian said cheerfully.
Liu Jian touched his chin and pondered: "In this case, if the country can provide funds for the rebel army and expand its numbers, it may be a way to prevent Chu Yan from going abroad in Changshan."
Sun Jin was stunned when he heard this and said: "Rebel Army? The Rebel Army has no regular armaments and has not been trained and drilled. It can be defended well, so how can it be used as a regular army to suppress the invaders?"
To be honest, it is not a new thing for princes and kings to be taught and reprimanded by successive prime ministers these days.
Why do you feel like your two or three punches were all hit on cotton?
That is, when dealing with officials assigned to local areas by the imperial court, their cohesion is unprecedentedly strong.
After all, the princes and kings were already pitiful enough, and Liu Jian would not be able to bully them again.
If a fool whom no one knows comes up and shouts, someone will immediately take him to the official office.
Liu Jian let out a long sigh.
Who knows when he will become a leading figure among the Liu clan.
Liu Jian has made up his mind to decentralize himself to local governments within three or four years.
Since Liu Hao, the king of Changshan, and his own surname were Liu, came to him in such a lowly manner, Liu Jian felt that he should do him a favor and continue to improve his status and reputation among the Liu clan.
And from a personal point of view, Liu Jian didn't want to bother organizing the provincial governor's troops in Jizhou.
Hearing that Liu Jian could not mobilize troops, Liu Hao and Sun Jin hurriedly ran to Liu Jian and shouted "Uncle Fang, help me" with tears in their eyes. The one who shouted was sincere and the one who cried was like pear blossoms with rain.
Liu Hao's face was full of grievance: "Let's just hide it for a while."
When Liu Hao heard this, he quickly shook his head and expressed his determination not to do it.
During Liu Hao's thirty-two years in office, the court replaced him with eleven prime ministers, five of whom scolded him face to face.
Sun Jin sighed: "Although the situation was dangerous, it was not lost because there were local rebels in Zhending County, which blocked the Chu thieves from outside the county."
"I admit that I have lost my integrity, I admit that I am greedy for life and afraid of death. It is my fault...Uncle Fang, save Chang Shan, save me!"
"Prime Minister Sun, since Chu Yan rose from Zhending and gathered more than ten thousand people, has Zhending County ever been lost?"
If we start building an army in our hometown now, it would be like committing suicide.
In addition, there is another danger in being too tight-knit in the village, which is a situation like Chu Yan’s!
Faced with Liu Jian's scolding, Liu Hao just cried. Later, he saw him making a long salute to Liu Jian.
"Hasn't your Majesty ever considered that if Chu Yan's treachery becomes more powerful if he doesn't mobilize troops from other counties, it will still be difficult for your Majesty's feudal kingdom to be preserved?"
"Your Majesty, our Changshan country has no soldiers and generals. The elite Sanhe troops in Liu Fangbo's hands have also been transferred back to Hedong by the imperial court for other uses. If troops are not transferred from other counties, I am afraid that Chu Yan's power will grow stronger."
"Nearly four hundred years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, when did the king and grandson surnamed Liu become so cowardly? A few waves of bandits have left the king without a master, and he has lost all his soul and spirit. I, the son of the Han army, can't even face the traitors. Afraid of death, the King alone cannot die?"
"Oh? Rebels?"
Although the imperial court did not explain clearly the reason for the sudden transfer of the troops and horses of the three Zhonglang generals and the two Zhonglang generals to Hedong, Liu Jian knew in his heart that the rebellion in Jincheng, Liangzhou must have started.
What a waste of oil and salt.
At the same time, the Sanhe soldiers under Liu Jian also went with them, ready to conquer for the imperial court at any time.
Liu Jian was speechless upon hearing this.
After all, the system of three mutual laws is there. Officials who come to the local area from other counties and counties do not have any support when they first arrive in the local area. If the prefect or county magistrate wants to gain a foothold in the local area, he must form a good relationship with the local clan!
When Sun Jin heard this, he felt enlightened.
Among large counties, once the high-sect families unite, they will have enough energy to drive two thousand stones out of the county.
But even without this rebellion, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo would have stepped down from their positions as Jizhou Mu sooner or later. No one could hold the position of Jizhou Mu for long.
Logically speaking, as a pastoral envoy, Liu Jian still has the power to mobilize the soldiers of the Jizhou Governor's Department, but now there is a problem, that is, after the Yellow Turbans raised their troops, Zhang Jiao killed all the soldiers of the Jizhou Governor's Department. It was so clean that not even a hair was left for Liu Jian.
However, the rebel army used to counter the rebellion seems to be able to play a marginal role.
He sobbed and said: "Uncle Fang, if you mobilize soldiers and horses from different counties, the incident of bandits in Changshan will be known to others. If someone in the counties reports this matter to Your Majesty, I am afraid that the country will not be protected." ah."
And if when the army is transferred to the local areas, local warriors are recruited again to form an army, that is, the new army will need to practice martial arts again, and it will still take some time.
The princes and kings of the Han Dynasty lacked love, so we should care for them, encourage them with gentle words, and let their tortured hearts be well adjusted.
You can say such things, but how cowardly is this Changshan King?
Even Sun Jin, who was on the same team as Liu Hao, blushed a little when he heard this.
But God just played a big joke on them.
Liu Hao said miserably: "Why did the Prime Minister just think about himself when he said this? But you have never thought that I had abandoned the country before the moth thieves rose up. Now that Chu Yan has grown stronger, if the court wants to dig deeper, it will have to ask me The crime of abandoning the country in the past is like this. Isn’t my life in danger..."
A large-scale rebellion no less than the Yellow Turban Uprising has begun, and this time the momentum will definitely move toward Guanzhong.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although there were many powerful disciples and people, at this juncture, no one dared to blatantly form them into private armies, annex the land to annex the land, and expand the strength to expand the strength, but whose family Anyone who dares to organize an army without the approval of the imperial court is seeking death.
It is not impossible for Liu Jian to reorganize the troops of the Jizhou Governor's Department now, but the problem is that it takes time to organize the troops. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Liu Hao and Sun Jin really can't wait.
Obviously, Chu Yan is a well-known figure in Zhending County, otherwise he would not have been able to raise a team of more than 10,000 people in a short time.
The reason why only a thousand troops and horses were mobilized was because Liu Hao and Sun Jin, the Prime Minister of Changshan State, had been saying that they did not want to make the matter too big. As soon as the Yellow Turbans were settled, there was a problem in Changshan State, and it was difficult for the court to explain it. .
Liu Jian finally couldn't bear it any longer, his face turned cold, and he shouted: "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? When the Yellow Turbans broke out, the king was afraid that he would be attacked by thieves and soldiers, and he would have to abandon the country, but what did he think? The cause and effect are all caused by the king himself. Sown! It’s just the imperial court punishing the king, so what’s wrong with that?”
He rubbed his temples helplessly.
Liu Jian said seriously: "Why can't it be used? In the past, when the moth thieves rose up, they brought disaster to Ji and You. My brother Liu Xuande organized a rebel army in his hometown to defend the county. Until the moth thieves were wiped out, the Yellow Turbans never captured Zhuoxian. If it was used by the rebels, Well, there is indeed no need to dispatch troops from neighboring counties!"
Sun Jin didn't care, it had nothing to do with him, but seeing Liu Hao's useless attitude, Liu Jian really wanted to give him a kick on behalf of his ancestor.
Once they rebel, they can respond at once and find it difficult to contain their momentum.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will not be able to serve as the governor for a few days. Once Liu Hong transfers him back to Luoyang, all the troops he organized as governor will be transferred to the next governor, and the good deeds he has done for others will be in vain.
"Enough!"
"This man is less than ten years old, but he can raise a team of more than 10,000 people in just a few months.
"If it's delayed for one or two years, I'm afraid 100,000 people may be killed,"
Liu Hao blushed when Liu Jian scolded him, but he was surprisingly not angry and did not refute.
On the second day after the banquet in the palace, Liu Jian ordered Cheng Pu to return to Nangong County and dispatch a thousand warriors to Changshan first to help the king of Changshan suppress the bandits.
Looking at the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, there are many examples of villages and towns joining together to expel local officials.
The more Liu Hao and Sun Jin try to be careful, the bigger things seem to get.
Liu Jian turned to look at Sun Jin, but saw that his face was red, and he was obviously disgusted by Liu Hao.
This is not an unbreakable rule, it is just a method assigned to local officials.
Before Cheng Pu could return to Nangong, the monks' desks of the four prefectures in Luoyang took the official documents at the same time. Huangfu Song, the envoy to the north of Jizhou, and the envoy to the east of Jizhou, Dong Zhuo, organized their troops and went to Hedong County to station, waiting for orders.
"By that time, I'm afraid it will really shock the capital, and your majesty won't be able to do anything without asking the guilty king."
Liu Jian was thinking about something else.
But even if Chu Yan had a team of ten thousand people, in Liu Jian's eyes, it was just a small fight. As long as his troops stationed in Nangong County arrived, he didn't need more than two thousand soldiers.
The rebel team of 10,000 people was put under control by Chu Yan.
As for the small and powerful landowners in small counties, if they have enough prestige to take the lead, they can unite all the families and recruit a group of Li Shu people to drive out the county magistrates and county captains.
The so-called rebel army is nothing more than a spontaneous organization organized by the villagers when encountering bandits. It is a kind of local self-protection mechanism.
Therefore, King Changshan is quite resistant to scolding, he is used to it.
"After all, the king is the grandson of the Liu family, so he can't set an example for the people. How can he be so greedy for life and afraid of death? It really violates the integrity of the Han family!"
But after all, it was just a thought, and it was impossible to actually kick him.
To gather together during wartime and spread out to farm during leisure time is, in a sense, a side project.
Think about it carefully...
If you can control a few so-called rebel armies, when you are sent to the local area, you can get the rebels to surrender, and then naturally transform the rebels into local armies, wouldn't it save a lot of time?
