Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army. Although the Yellow Turban Uprising has failed for several years, Taiping Road is still the same in the minds of ordinary people as it was when Zhang Jiao was alive.  Taiping Dao came forward to organize the people to harvest autumn grain, and coupled with the temptation of allocating land, things went extremely smoothly.  Seeing the wheat fields being harvested outside the city, those who were still resisting in the city became anxious.  The food has been harvested, what will we eat in the future?  Even if there is surplus food, it can last for a while, but if the land is divided, can you still get it back?  In order to prevent those people from surrendering prematurely and affecting the progress of land redistribution, Liu Xiu deliberately concealed the news of Yuan Shao's death in battle.  Unless Yuan Shao dies, those who follow Yuan Shao will not give up. They will place their hope in Yuan Shao turning defeat into victory and regaining everything that was taken away today. Only then will they have the confidence to continue to defend the city instead of going out to fight for their lives.  .  People will not fight until they are desperate. What's more, there are Han troops outside the city who are waiting for them to go out of the city to grab food so that they can cut off their heads and perform meritorious service.  Yuan Shao lost all 80,000 elite troops in Yanzhou last year. Now most of the guards in these counties have just been recruited. Their numbers are not large, and their combat quality cannot be compared with those elites who have spent their lives fighting. Facing those outside the city, their eyes are obviously not very clear.  The kind-hearted Han soldiers had no hope of victory and could only rely on the city to defend their last safe haven.  The people outside the city were busy and excited, while the defenders inside the city were gnashing their teeth and unwilling to give up, but they were reluctant and did not dare to go out to fight. This strange scene lasted for nearly a month, except for a few counties that could not resist the feeling in their hearts.  torment.  Kaicheng surrendered, and a very small number of county towns went out to fight. As a result, they were attacked head-on by the eager Han soldiers, causing heavy losses. Most of the county towns remained silent.  When all the dust settles, the grain grains are returned to the warehouse, and the land is basically distributed.  Liu Xiu finally began to send news to all counties: Yuan Shao has died in the battle. Let me know whether you will surrender or not.  Otherwise I will attack by force.  You yourself know the consequences of siege. If you are willing to learn how to judge and match, I have no objection.  If you are willing to learn from Tian Feng and Ju Shou, I also welcome you.  Those small counties with insufficient defensive strength suddenly collapsed, and within a few days, more than half of the counties surrendered.  Yitao did not collapse, so Liu Xiu besieged the city. As usual, he sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender before attacking the city.  It was Gao Lan who prepared to attack the city, and Ju Hu who entered the city to persuade them to surrender. The people of Litao were all familiar with these two people. They were both wealthy people in Jizhou.  The Ju family is located in Guangping County, Julu County, not far from Yingtao.  When Jushu himself was working in the prefecture, he had contacts with many people. As his eldest son, Juhu was also well known to everyone.  Faced with Liu Xiu¡¯s almost threatening attempt to persuade him to surrender.  Thinking of the suffering of the previous month, almost everyone felt itchy teeth with hatred.  Someone asked Juhu, "If we surrender, can our land be taken back?" Juhu spread his hands and said sincerely: "Obviously it's impossible, even if the general is willing. It's impossible for the people to be willing. You are unwilling to surrender  Are they willing to spit out the food in their mouths? You know, if you lose the land, you will not die, at most you will be poorer, but if the people lose the land, they will die. Whichever is more serious, you should share it.  "Clear." Someone was furious: "Then why should we surrender? Fight to the death!" Ju Hu shook his head: "You can't fight to the death." Facing the other party's sneer, he pointed to the outside of the city: "Now outside the city.  There are 50,000 elite generals, nearly 60,000 Yellow Turbans, and behind them, there are nearly a million people who want to protect the land in their hands. What chance do you think you have?" The man was silent for a long time and said bitterly.  : "The city of Yingtao is strong and the pond is strong, so it is not that easy to fight." Juhu shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Then you just hold on slowly. The general has plenty of time. The general wants to implement the new policy in Jizhou and summon all the people.  The powerful people in the county are discussing important matters, and there are too many people. The general is busy bargaining with them, and he can't pay attention to Yitao City for a while. You can rest assured" Ju Hu changed the topic and said with a narrow smile.  : "I still want to remind you that my father and you are all old friends. When Jizhou's industrial and commercial benefits are fully distributed, it may not be so easy for you to join in and get a share of the pie. Of course, you can  When Yuan Tan defeats the general, regains Jizhou, and then seizes the world, then your efforts today will be worth a million times. Hahaha" Juhu smiled happily and presumptuously. After hearing this, all of them responded.  Silent, one of them couldn't hold back because of Ju Hu's laughter. He pulled out his ring knife and shouted loudly: "You are bold, Zhu Zi. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of Yingtao City and won't see how your Ju family enjoys the grace of the general?"  ?¡± Ju Hu sneered: ¡°Since I dare to come, I¡¯m not afraid of you using force. I thought I would have died for Yuan X when I lost the Feihu Road.If you ride to death, then you will die for the general, and your life will be considered worthwhile.  It's just that I feel a little sorry for being wronged by all of you for being buried with a boy like me.  " Everyone was stunned and quickly grabbed the impulsive man. After killing Ju Hu, how could he meet Ju Shou in the future? It was really not worth giving Liu Xiu an excuse to kill. After careful weighing, everyone agreed that since Yuan Shao was dead  It is impossible for Yuan Tan to turn defeat into victory. Instead of fighting to the end and losing his life in the end, it is better to surrender now. As Ju Hu said, the land has been divided by Liu Xiu, but after all, he still has family property and can still live in it.  No matter what, it is better to get a share of the profits of industry and commerce than to have nothing in the end. However, they have suffered too much, so they must make some compensation from Liu Xiu. Facing these gentlemen who are like mourning their heirs, Ju Hu sighed secretly.  The general is right, the virtuous will win. In the final analysis, everyone is after profit. Following Yuan Shao is for profit, and following him is also for profit. Only when you get benefit can you consider the so-called morality. What is this called benefit?  It is the foundation, and morality is the superstructure. Morality without benefits is a castle in the air?  He said he was incompetent and would fight or surrender. I don't want to talk to them or anything like that. There are so many people who want to sign contracts now that they can't handle it. Why bring people from Yitao City over to join in the fun?  Ashamed, the representative was speechless, and his original intention of bargaining with Liu Xiu suddenly faded away. After Liu Xiu made a symbolic concession, Yingtao City opened its doors and surrendered. In early September, Li Ru rushed to Yingtao and took a look.  When Liu Xiu arrived, Li Ru came forward to congratulate him. It only took less than two months for Liu Xiu to dispatch troops and almost solve the war in Jizhou. Now only Yecheng is left alone. This speed is really incredible.  , the trend of the times will come naturally, and another person can do it.  "Liu Xiu said calmly: "You have done a good job in Yizhou.  However, the matter in Yizhou is not difficult, and it does not show your ability. Even though it is a flat transfer, it is a bit unfair for you to come to Jizhou, but I hope you can be happy.  " Li Ru laughed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, as you said, Yizhou has what it is today, and it actually has nothing to do with me. First, it was the foundation laid by the Majesty, then the eldest princess and Yan Gong presided over the important affairs, and then there was Wang Yun.  I'm just getting my salary for free while I wait for help. I can only quarrel with the court for a few words, which is really meaningless.  Jizhou is good. The people of Jizhou have always been arrogant and have the style of Yanzhao. I was very excited when I thought of competing with so many celebrities, so as soon as I received the order, I rushed here day and night.  "Liu Xiu snorted. It seems that Gan Ning is not the only aggressive person. Li Ru is also an aggressive person. "Then I'll be relieved.  Yecheng has not yet been conquered, so for the time being, you can regard Yitao as the state government.  First, I will meet with the prefects of each county to understand their situation. I have compiled some information for you to take a look at.  However, most of this information was provided by people from Jizhou, so I am not very confident about how accurate it is.  I have been with them for more than ten days, and their eyes must be red now. You should be careful not to be intimidated by their enthusiasm.  " Li Ru laughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations.  "As he said, he is very motivated now. That time he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the governor of Yizhou, actually just wanted to give it a try. In fact, what he could do in Yizhou for several years was very limited. It was not that he couldn't do it, but  He didn't want Liu Xiu's people to feel threatened by him. With the eldest princess and Yan Zhong presiding over the overall situation, and Wang Yun, Zhang Chao and others conducting actual operations, he, the governor of Yizhou, was caught in the middle and couldn't exert much influence.  He has been waiting for Liu Xiu to confirm his loyalty. Now, Liu Xiu has transferred him to Jizhou as governor, which is the result he has been waiting for for many years.  He is very happy to be demoted. What's more, Jizhou is a powerful state in the world, which is equal to Yizhou. To some extent, Jizhou's position is more important than Yizhou. In the future, Jizhou will bear the brunt of the military deployment in northern Xinjiang.  , I believe that the status of Jizhou must be very important in Liu Xiu's heart, but Yuan Tan and others in Yecheng were very worried. They originally thought that Liu Xiu would rush to Yecheng as soon as possible, or attack the city.  Either negotiate with them, but the development of the matter was beyond their expectation. Liu Xiu seemed to have forgotten Yecheng, and focused on dividing the land in Jizhou and implementing the New Deal, as if Yecheng was not the county seat of Jizhou. They even had the illusion that Yecheng was still the county seat of Jizhou.  Is it the boundary of Jizhou? Why does Liu Xiu seem to have conquered the entire Jizhou? The feeling of being forgotten is really not good, but Yuan Tan and others are very depressed. However, it is only the non-Jizhou people who are depressed, but the Jizhou natives are not depressed.  They were very anxious because they received the news that their land outside the city had been divided, and their property outside the city had also been divided.Well, some people even left their wives and concubines in their hometowns as official slaves, or were about to become official slaves.  They were very angry. Could it be that we have been captured?  In Liu Xiu's eyes, are we already the same as dead people?  Isn't Yecheng not a city, but just a relatively large prison cell?  Please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
