Chapter 240 Follow the same pattern as Qingzhou’s prominent family
During the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Uprising, in addition to Liu Yu who was stationed in Qingzhou, there was also the Qingzhou Governor Li Sheng who commanded the Qingzhou Governor's Department. Unfortunately, this Qingzhou Governor who had just taken office for a year had fought three battles with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
, he was killed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and died for the country.
A large part of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou revolted with Zhang Jiao three years ago, and they have begun to figure out tactics suitable for the Yellow Turban Army.
If the Yellow Turbans three years ago relied on numbers and desperate tactics to fight, now they are gradually beginning to use tactics and tactics.
At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao failed, but countless fires were left in various states and counties. The vigorous peasant uprising continued to start a prairie fire everywhere.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans gathered in Qing and Xu counties. They chanted the slogan "Heaven makes up for the equal" and continued to capture the manors of local prominent families and powerful people.
Why it was said that it was most difficult for ordinary people to survive in the Han Dynasty, that is because whether it was food, population, land, or trade routes, all the resources of the Eastern Han Dynasty were owned by owners, including mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and their ownership was basically divided.
More than 70% of the resources are controlled by local families, and the rest is owned by the royal family.
After a round of Yellow Turban uprising and a round of "heavenly replenishment", the Yellow Turban Army now knows best who to turn to for survival resources.
The Black Mountain Army in Jizhou destroyed the local prominent family Wubao with holes. In the end, the prominent families in Jizhou had to change their original intentions, attach themselves to Liu Jian, and use their vested interests to support Liu Jian's farming.
Liu Jian changed from passive to active in controlling local areas.
In Jizhou, all the land after the war has been temporarily designated as nationalized. It neither belongs to the farmers nor the aristocratic families. It is only leased and farmed in the name of the country. This can temporarily make it possible to win it from the aristocratic families after the war.
The acquired land resources will not be lost.
What makes Liu Jian interesting is that the reactions of these powerful people are almost exactly the same.
Three thousand of them were those who had subdued the Bingzhou Army headed by Li Ji, and the other two thousand were Hanoi warriors whom Liu Jian recruited and surrendered after he defeated Ding Yuan.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans under the slogan "Heaven makes up for peace", relied on this slogan to attract more low-level peasants, and launched a crazy attack on aristocratic families.
While marching towards Qingzhou, Liu Jian made some adjustments to the organization of his troops.
The reason why this situation occurs is because the current Yellow Turban Army is different from that in history.
Liu Jian was surprised when he heard the news.
From another perspective, the human resources that Liu Jian can conquer have also become more numerous.
These yellow turban soldiers were demons when they were destroying the place, but once they were conquered and cultivated and developed, each one of them was a priceless treasure.
Do I have to get money?
It was exactly the same as when he used the method to suppress the prominent families in Jizhou.
The ones who suffered the most were those who became powerful and powerful.
"Trapped in camp?"
There is only one reason why this happens, and that is the influence of "the balance of heaven and earth" is at work.
Many of the officials in Luoyang City are from Qingzhou aristocratic families!
Defeating the Yellow Turban Army and subduing the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou for farming is just a simple beginning. However, before that, we must first use the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to effectively attack the prominent families in Qingxu County and weaken the influence of local aristocratic families and powerful rightists.
With his overall strength, he pulled the scales to his side, so that Liu Jian could repeat his old tricks to control Qingzhou, successfully install his own forces there, and implement specific farming reforms.
For one thing, Gao Shun is from Bingzhou, and having him manage and control the Bingzhou army on his behalf can appease his heart as quickly as possible and bring this army back to its original focus.
The conditions are very simple...the Jizhou army has come from afar, and there is not enough food, grass and military pay, and there is also a shortage of ordnance.
After saying these words, a warm current suddenly surged in Gao Shun's heart.
Gao Shun was very excited after hearing this. He had just come out of Luoyang not long ago, and he never expected that Liu Jian would place such an important responsibility on him.
Xuzhou, south of Qingzhou, is also currently under a relatively strong attack by the Yellow Turban Army. Although Tao Qian, who has just become the governor of Xuzhou, is a ruthless man, he is still alone. The Xuzhou governor's department is short of major generals, and Tao Qian has just arrived, so he can only
Try to support.
According to the spies' reports, the number of the Yellow Turban Army is as high as 1.67 million! They are almost running towards 2 million. Of course, most of these people are old, weak, sick and disabled. The young and strong who can really fight still account for only 1.67 million people.
A small number, but even so, the number is very large.
The greater the power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, although the destructive power has increased, it also means that their destructive power against the powerful and prominent families has become stronger.
Water can carry a boat or overturn it. It depends on how you use the water and how you look at it dialectically.
After Wubao was captured, the oppressed peasants in Wubao also took advantage of the situation and joined the rebel army.
After the governor of Qingzhou was killed by the Yellow Turbans, the prefects of Qingzhou counties had limited troops and horses, and could not form an effective defense. So far, two prefect-level figures have been killed.
In history, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban only grew to a million people, but now after investigation, it seems that its scale has increased by 50% compared to history.
When he heard Liu Jian say this name, Gao Shun felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart for some reason, although he didn't know the source of this intimacy.
Liu Jian smiled and said: "As you said, don't you think you can be my confidant?"
After Liu Jian's troops arrived in Qingzhou, he was not in a hurry to attack the Yellow Turbans. He stationed his troops in Licheng, the westernmost part of Qingzhou, and then sent a large number of scouts to inquire about news from Qingzhou.
"Why did the envoy establish this trap camp?"
The second thing is...
He hesitated and said: "It's just that such elite troops have always been led by trusted people under the superiors. Why did the envoy hand over this important responsibility to a lowly official..."
He initially led 5,000 elite Jizhou troops to Luoyang. Now that he has arrived in Qingzhou, his number has expanded to 10,000.
Anyway, Licheng is only in the border county of Qingzhou. As long as the Yellow Turban Army does not think about heading west to join the Black Mountain Army, it will not collide with itself for the time being.
Liu Jian solemnly replied to Gao Shun: "The number of soldiers under my command exceeds 20,000. If we add the soldiers and horses of various princes and kings in Jizhou, the number will exceed 40,000. But these soldiers and horses are strong and weak, and the sergeants
They are also divided into different attributes. Every powerful army must have elite ace troops as its foundation. Bingzhou soldiers have been in the border counties for a long time, often fighting against the Xiongnu and Xianbei. Both in terms of experience and bravery, they are superior to the Jizhou army. If
With your careful training, he will definitely become a strong soldier in my hands."
…
Liu Jian was not in a hurry. If they didn't give him money, food or equipment, he would have to pretend to be dead at worst.
But now, it is still the same in Qingzhou.
Liu Jian's attitude made the families in Qingzhou who had suffered from the Yellow Turbans very angry.
As for the three thousand Bingzhou sergeants headed by Li Ji, Liu Jian handed them over to Gao Shun.
But this incident is not a bad thing for Liu Jian.
Liu Bei had just come out of Luoyang, and he still had the official title of Xiyuan Campus Lieutenant. These two thousand Sanhe warriors were under his command in the name of Xiyuan Army. With Liu Bei's ability and method of conquering people's hearts, Liu Jian felt that
It shouldn't be a problem for him to take care of these people.
Do you think that if you don’t station troops and don’t advance, our family won’t be able to cure you?
After some investigation, Liu Jian got the news that although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were called Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, their main areas of attack were not limited to Qingzhou.
On the contrary, the people at the lowest level were less persecuted by the Yellow Turban Army.
After Liu Jian arrived in Licheng, he made no next move. This made the noble families of Jinan and Le'an very anxious. They hurriedly sent people to ask Liu Jian for help, hoping that he could quickly send troops to rescue him.
Liu Jian handed over the Sanhe warriors under Ding Yuan to Liu Bei and asked him to conquer them on his behalf.
Like those families in Jizhou back then, everyone was unhappy.
"After arriving in Qingzhou, I will find a city to rest for a while. Zhong Sui, please hurry up and train these three thousand trapped troops. I will find a way to gather fine armor for this army in the future. As the saying goes, the one who can defeat everything,
It’s called trapping! Don’t let this army live up to its name.”
First of all, he needs to know how much damage has been suffered in places like Donglai, Beihai, Qi, Le'an, Qiancheng, and Jiaodong.
He made a long salute to Liu Jian and then accepted the order.
Liu Jian was also unambiguous and directly listed conditions for the prominent families in the two counties who came to him for help.
As a result, these Qingzhou families rushed to Luoyang with letters, asking their relatives in the court to report Liu Jian's current misdeeds to the emperor and to urge him to march into the army.
But the problem is that there are too many things going on in Luoyang City now, and the struggle for power and profit is going on every day, and the people in the court have no time to take Liu Jian into consideration.
Even if he had time, could Dong Zhuo, who was fighting for power with Yuan Kai, allow them to urge Liu Jian in the name of the court?
