The Yellow Turban Army without Qu Shuai has no fighting power. It will not be difficult to defeat them in the next battle.
However, for Liu Jian, he did not want to simply defeat these Yellow Turbans. What he needed was to accept them as farm customers and use them as his own productivity.
The number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is very large. Due to the annexation of the top clans and right-wing officials in the Han Dynasty, these manpower were displaced from their homes and eventually became rebels. But in fact, if there is a relatively reasonable system, these people can become the prosperous construction of the land of China.
screws and made their due contribution to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Jian did not want to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. What he wanted to do was to let these rebel soldiers return to their respective posts and do what they should have done.
…………
Zhang He led his cavalry, broke through layers of enemy formations, and finally arrived at the locations of Fuyun and Yuancheng.
Unfortunately, he arrived a step too late.
These two Yellow Turban thieves who were supposed to be captured alive by him have now become Yan Liang's dead souls.
Except for the heads of two Yellow Turban commanders who were taken off by Yan Liang, the rest of the Yellow Turbans had also been killed by Yan Liang's sergeants.
Zhang He was a relatively steady person. He just took a rough look at the clothes of Yan Liang and his group and knew that they were not a regular army, but an army organized by local right-wingers.
Yan Liang drove his horse forward a few steps and asked, "May I ask if I am a member of General Zuo's tent?"
Of course, history has proven that as time goes by, government land will still be taken over as private land by those who stand at the top of the pyramid. This method of renting and transferring land can only maintain temporary stability.
But it definitely won't last long.
As long as Liu Jian can provide them with a stable environment in which they can survive, he is not afraid that people like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will not submit.
An hour later, the situation on the battlefield was basically calmed down.
Xu Rong, who understood the importance of fighter planes, took advantage of this opportunity and commanded the Jizhou soldiers to pursue the enemy with all their might, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe.
At least when the late Emperor Liu Hong was alive, it was not allowed.
Not to mention the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, even the Black Mountain Army has begun to gradually form a deficit in personnel mobility.
Yan Liang was overjoyed when he heard it.
"Um?"
No matter how big a right-wing family you are, no matter how high your status is and how big the Uburg Manor is, if you dare to organize an army on your own initiative in the open, then you are really living a crooked life.
Logically speaking, such an army should not be allowed to exist in the Han Dynasty.
No matter how good his martial arts skills are, his body structure alone is destined to make ordinary people no match for him, which is enough to call him a "bear bear warrior".
…………
Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "I asked him who he brought here?"
Yan Liang's body is broad and his arms are broad, almost a whole circle wider than Zhang He himself, and almost as good as Zhang Fei.
Since he started farming in Jizhou, Liu Jian used the large tracts of unowned land left over from the troubled times as a foundation, and based on some of the detailed rules of the land equalization law from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty as fundamental regulations, he stabilized the situation and made the situation more stable.
The people have arable land, which allows the government offices to have continuous income and maintains the normal operation of Jizhou.
Liu Jian's name is also widely circulated among the lower class people.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Army, which had lost the two thieves leaders Fuyun and Yuancheng, had completely collapsed.
"Reporting to the envoy, Zhang Sima led a man named Yan Liang to see the envoy. Zhang Sima said that Yan Liang killed two commanders of the Yellow Turban Army and came to the envoy with the heads of the two thieves.
"
The Yellow Turban Army was dying, fleeing, and disintegrating. Of course, a large number of people expressed their willingness to surrender.
"No, no."
He hurriedly put on a smile and said cheerfully: "A certain Yan Liang is from the Yan family in Le'an, Qingzhou. He has admired General Liu's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in his ears. Today he led the crowd to come here to meet each other. It happened that the two leaders of the Yellow Turban thieves were defeated by the general's heavenly troops.
I'm going to leave, so I'll kill him personally as a gift to meet him. Could you please Zhang Sima to recommend him to me?"
It rained all night, and Dong Zhuo was stationed in the center of the Han Dynasty. The entire court was torn into several forces. Although the Luoyang Center was still functioning, its ability to control the local area was obviously not as good as before, and for
It is even more powerless to counter the rebellion.
The emperors of the Han Dynasty had their bottom line.
He just said "hmm" softly.
The central government of the Han Dynasty was busy with internal fighting and had no time to deal with the war in Xiliang.
Although Zhang He did not see Yan Liang's figure when he beheaded the two thieves, he could guess how brave they were just by looking at them a few times.
Lu Zhi also obeyed Liu Jian's order in the north of Jizhou and carried out farming according to the methods he taught.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban soldiers were defeated and the general was gone. Xu Rong raised his sword with his head high, pointing the blade into the sky and shouting: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Especially since these bastards don’t rob the common people, they only go after the wealthy and powerful, they attack whoever has the money, and they specialize in extorting the landlords’ families. How do you think those wealthy people can bear it?
But now, with the fierce generals under his command gathered together, the Four Court Pillars will definitely be unable to defeat him.
Today, most of Liangzhou has almost lost contact with the center of Luoyang, and has completely become a separatist territory for the rebels. It can be said that it is challenging the authority of the Luoyang court at the greatest bottom line.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
Therefore, prominent families in various places began to spontaneously select strong men from their disciples to organize armies to suppress rebellions in various places.
In other words, how could they continue to allow this to happen?
Even if Han Xin is resurrected and faced with the defeat of more than 100,000 people, he can only sigh in despair and be unable to make a comeback.
"Who's here?" Zhang He raised the spear in his hand and asked Yan Liang opposite him.
"Reporting to the envoy, this is Zhang Sima, Zhang He."
It's just that what the Yellow Turban Army shouted was: "I wish to surrender! I wish to surrender! I wish to surrender!"
Especially in Xiliang, although Beigong Boyu and others were attacked by Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo and others, they were not completely wiped out. It can even be said that their vitality was not damaged. Especially during the critical period of the war,
Liu Hong's sudden death caused the imperial court to withdraw a large number of elite soldiers from the front line, giving these rebels a chance to breathe, which increased their influence in Liangzhou.
"My lord, Zhang Sima came here with a man who calls himself Yan Liang to ask for an audience."
When Zhao Yun said this to Liu Jian, Liu Jian was on the city wall, watching his sergeants escorting the surrendered Qingzhou Yellow Turbans into the city, and did not react for a while.
Although there is no explicit edict from the imperial court encouraging you to have an army, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, banditry has become too severe in various places.
"Okay, please also ask Brother Yan to come with me to Licheng, and let me introduce you!"
Zhang He was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yan Liang back and forth for a while and asked: "Were these two leaders of thieves killed with one step?"
…………
To put it simply, the land that was desolate due to war was reshuffled and put under the control of the government. The government became the largest landowner and used its land lease rights to restore social stability.
But soon...
The number of Yellow Turbans who surrendered voluntarily this time was quite large, reaching half of them. As for the remaining half, Liu Jian felt that they would either flee under the other Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and surrender, or they would come back and surrender sooner or later.
Powerful families may be able to annex land, or they can annex Tuhu, but the bottom line of the Han emperor is that they are not allowed to have their own army, at least not on the surface.
But in recent years, especially after the Yellow Turban Uprising and the death of the late emperor Liu Hong, the bottom line of the Han Dynasty has obviously been breached a lot.
Now when they heard the four words "Those who surrender will not be killed", they seemed to hear the sound of nature.
On the battlefield, more and more Yellow Turban troops shouted loudly. They raised their arms and shouted loudly, for fear that Liu Jian's men would not hear them.
No joke, Liu Hong would really mobilize an army to crush any prominent Uburg family that dared to organize an army.
These four words were shouted by nearly ten thousand Jizhou soldiers with high morale. Although they were a bit chaotic, they had the power to shake Mount Tai. They were like thunder, exploding and spreading throughout the field within several miles.
Yan Liang laughed loudly and said: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!"
Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan... were known as the Four Court Pillars of Hebei in history.
"Thank you, thank you!"
This shout was earth-shattering.
This is not because Liu Jian is very confident, but because in his opinion, the policies he implemented are the most suitable for the Yellow Turban Army.
The shouts of hundreds of people reached thousands of Jizhou Army troops on the battlefield. The Jizhou Army soldiers with high morale also shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"only!"
Zhang He answered simply and neatly: "A certain person is the pastoral envoy of Southern Jizhou. The captain under General Zuo is in charge of the commander of another department, Zhang He. I have been ordered to hunt down the leader of the moth thief here!"
As soon as Xu Rong opened his mouth, the elite guards behind him also raised their spears and shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The same is true in various parts of Guandong. The Yellow Turban uprising in Qingzhou is just one of them. The states and counties in the south are not peaceful either.
And it was he who first implemented this method, which caused a large number of refugees to flock to Hebei.
Liu Jian slowly turned around, looked at Zhao Yun in surprise and said, "Who did you just say?"
After Zhao Yun went down, Liu Jian stood there and started counting with his fingers.
What is the fundamental purpose of the Yellow Turban soldiers becoming Yellow Turbans?
Just to survive.
However, for Liu Jian, this method is sufficient in a short period of time. At least in the more than ten years before the end of the troubled times, this method can definitely maintain stability and restore agricultural productivity.
Some middle-level war supervisors of the Yellow Turban Army tried to reverse the situation by killing the defeated soldiers, but they undoubtedly failed, and even they themselves were carried away by the retreating Yellow Turban soldiers.
In the past few years, homeless people and gangsters who could not afford to eat outside had fled into the Taihang Mountains in search of life. But now, with Liu Jian's large-scale farming, the recovery of productivity and the bottom level of the people will be better after farming.
With the harvest of food, fewer and fewer people are escaping to the Black Mountains. On the contrary, more and more people are coming out of the Taihang Mountains.
Liu Jian was stunned for a while and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly!"
The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and the Taihang Mountain thieves are of the same nature. No matter what they do, survival must be their main purpose.
Therefore, when Zhang He saw the troops led by Yan Liang today, he did not raise any objections. This situation was already very common in all states and counties of the Han Dynasty. Without an explicit order from the central government to prohibit it, he, a prince,
The Sima of the palace just turned a blind eye and paid no attention to his own business.
