I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 184, troubled times will begin

Seeing the power of Lei Gong's law and knowing that their Wubao was like a piece of paper in front of Lei Gong, these powerful gentry no longer dared to resist Lei Gong's army, and agreed to all Lei Gong's demands with a mournful face.

Wang Ge asked a little puzzled: "Why didn't Shuai Qu directly destroy them this time? It's so troublesome to keep them, and it's easy to breed tigers."

Wang Ge and the others are full of hatred for powerful gentry and powerful gentry. They like to cut weeds and root out the roots. Public trial of powerful gentry and powerful gentry makes people feel happy when they divide their fields. Although their fields are also divided now, after all they publicly trial the powerful gentry , Wang Ge felt that this was a bit regrettable.

Xu Weidao: "Our main thing this time is to go to the Yellow River to rescue the victims. Fighting the war is only a secondary thing. If we really want to wipe out the entire Taiyuan County elites, not to mention their desperate resistance, just break their Wubao. How much time!"

Wang Ge thought about it, and based on their experience, it would take at least three or four months, and this period did not include Dong Zhuo's counterattack.Of course, the best way is to wipe out Dong Zhuo's army, so that they can eliminate these clans, gentry, gentry and powerful without any scruples!

So Xu Wei said: "If we really want to break through Wubao one by one, I'm afraid those victims would have starved to death long ago, and don't say that Dong Zhuo has 3 troops in his hands, and there are 3 to 4 troops in Bingzhou. Concentrate and fight with us, there will be 10 to 5 troops in Taiyuan, our 6 troops will fight [-] to [-] troops, and it will still be a battle in Bingzhou, where the terrain is dangerous. If Dong Zhuo resists steadily, it will take less than half a year. Fighting to the edge of the Yellow River? If it really takes half a year to fight, then what is the point of all we do!"

Really, if it wasn't for helping the victims, Xu Wei would have preferred to stay in Mayi and continue farming. He was worried that the butterfly effect would affect the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty, so he stayed in Mayi all the time because he wanted to make himself feel better about the big Han. Influence is reduced to a minimum.

But now it seems that his influence on the big man has become stronger and stronger. At least Xu Wei knows that according to the original history, Dong Zhuo should now be the prefect of Hedong County instead of the prefect of Taiyuan County!

For this expedition, Xu Wei had already planned to change the script. He really wanted to occupy the entire Bingzhou Army.

Xu Wei continued: "How good it is now, as long as we threaten them, all the land and food will be obtained. Our main purpose is not to kill people, but to distribute the land fairly, so that the refugees can once again have the capital to live.

For us now, dividing up the land is the best solution.The difficult thing is on the contrary, there are more than 2000 miles from Mayi to the Yellow River, and now there are millions of refugees who will pass through here soon.We have to build tracks all the way here, build resettlement sites for refugees, and distribute land in various places, and then distribute these lands to refugees. These things are 10 times more difficult than war.And we don't have much time, every day of delay will starve thousands of refugees to death!
That being the case, why should we waste time in the hands of these elites, as long as they do not affect our work, we will spare his life.These patriarchs have no land in their hands, no tenants, and their decline is inevitable. If they escape to the court, it would be better if we can even take back the remaining land. "

At this time, Wang Ge understood Xu Wei's thoughts. Xu Weizhi let go of these aristocrats just to hurry up!

After distributing the fields in Yuanping County, Zhang Baiqi brought hundreds of Litians to Yuanping County and became the head of the township and village. These Litians were enriched in the entire Yuanping County, large and small, to form the Tengjia Army. The regime at the lowest level, the regime of the entire Yuanping County began to reorganize!
After these Litians came to the countryside, they distributed the land equally to other refugees or tenants, waiting for them to form cooperatives and helping them buy sickles, plowshares, and cattle with loans.After these measures came down, the township chief and village chief of the Tengjia Army soon gained a firm foothold in the local area.

However, the lack of force to suppress these aristocrats still left hidden dangers, and these people were unwilling to have their fields divided like this.

So they secretly found the tenants who shared their fields, and threatened them that the grain belonged to their family. If they dared not pay the tax, they would kill them. If they dared to tell the Tengjia army, they would kill them anyway. army, but not enough to deal with the local tenants!And they didn't feel that they did something wrong, this was their field, why should they just leave it to others!

After being threatened, many tenants did not even dare to tell, the village and township chiefs in the village!But after all, such a large-scale threat cannot be concealed from others. Soon Li Tian of the Fujiko Army found out about it, and they reported it to Zhang Baiqi.

Finally, Zhang Baiqi told Xu Wei and said: "Shuai Qu, now that your army is suppressing them, they dare not do anything, but after the army leaves, they will definitely rebel, and even if they don't rebel, they will continue to stay The local area will also affect our regime, after all, they are all local tyrants and have influence for hundreds of years!"

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "We don't have so much time to entangle with them. Since they have great influence locally, we should move them to Mayi. I don't believe it. They dare to threaten us in Mayi." Ministry!"

Zhang Baiqi worried: "I'm afraid they won't leave!"

"It's just to make an example to the monkeys. As long as they break through a Wubao, they will know our kindness, and they will know that going to Mayi is their best choice!"

Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and suggested: "Now Shuofang County is sparsely populated. Since the population needs to be relocated, they should be moved to Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Yunzhong County!"

Xu Wei nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

Then Xu Wei once again summoned the powerful gentry from Yuanping County, and in front of these patriarchs, used black powder to break down a powerful Wubao surnamed Liu!

Then thousands of soldiers rushed into Wubao, arrested the whole family of Liu Haoqiang, called the people of the surrounding villages, and asked the people to expose these evil deeds of Liu Haoqiang, and put Liu Haoqiang on public trial. People, family property is divided.

All of this, Xu Wei was in front of these Patriarchs, watching these Patriarchs sweating coldly!

Xu Wei looked at these tyrants with a cold face and said: "I heard that some of you are still dissatisfied, and secretly let the people continue to pay them rent and tax. One thing in front of one's face, one thing behind one's back is the behavior of a villain. Today, I, Lao Lei, will let you see Look at the consequences of doing this!"

"Lei Gongqu Shuai, we didn't do this!" The powerful and powerful gentry around were frightened, and immediately assured Xu Wei that they did not secretly threaten the people!
Xu Wei said angrily: "The commander-in-chief Benqu has no time to entangle with you. Now the commander-in-chief gives you three choices. Either the whole family will be hanged like this one, or they will all be moved to the territory of my Tengjia army. Whether it's Yunzhong County or Shuofang County, you can choose whatever you want, and you can reclaim as much land as you want in these places! Of course, you can also choose to get out of my Tengjia Army's territory, and I don't care about you!"

These aristocrats, powerful gentry were dumbfounded when they heard it. These places are all cold and miserable places, and they have to face the invasion of Xianbei people at any time. Going to those places is not a narrow escape, but if you don’t go now, you will die. !
"I'll give you 10 days. If you stay here after 10 days, I'll lead an army to wipe you out. They will be your end! My patience has a limit!"

Looking at the person hanging on the platform, all the nobles and nobles present shuddered. This Lei Gong is really vicious, and he kills people as soon as he says he wants to!
So after they went back, they began to sell their properties one after another. Ninety percent of them chose to leave the territory of the Fujika Army, but there were still [-]% of them who felt that there was chaos everywhere, so they might as well stay in the territory of the Fujiko Army. Yap is still very prosperous!

After dealing with these nobles, Xu Wei said to Zhang Baiqi: "The counties and counties that will be occupied in the future will be based on the experience of Yuanping County, and I am a little naive, thinking that as long as I scare these nobles, they will be obedient. Now it seems that whenever they have the opportunity, they will make trouble for us. Each of our counties and counties must have the power to suppress them. In this way, after the land is divided, each county will have 1000 county brigade soldiers, and each county will have tens of thousands of soldiers. These soldiers are used to suppress the nobles in our new place, if this problem occurs again, you will lead the soldiers to completely suppress them!"

Zhang Baiqi nodded and said, "This subordinate knows what to do!"

Xu Wei led the army to move forward. At this time, Wang Yong and the others had cut off the river in Yuanping County, and the moat in Yuanping County had become dry.

Lu Bu saw the dry moat and the exposed city wall bricks below, and they realized that the city must not be defended.

At this time, Xu Wei brought an army of 7. Lu Bu and the others were facing an army of 10, which was 20 times their advantage. Facing such a huge army, even the most optimistic people could not say that they could continue to hold on.

Gao Shun said helplessly: "We have stood firm in Yuanping County for 10 days, and it has reached General Dong's order time. It is meaningless to continue to contact us. Instead, it will easily lead us to annihilation of the entire army. Feng Xian wants to Ready to retreat."

Lu Bu looked at the majestic Tengjia army with banners unfurled, and said helplessly, "Let's retreat."

That night Lu Bu led his army to withdraw from Yuanping County, and Xu Wei led his army to capture the last county seat of Yanmen County.

And with the breach of Yuanping County, the door of Taiyuan County is wide open!Xu Wei divided his troops and captured Lushang, Yangqu, Fenyang and other counties.

And at the same time Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

Although Dong Zhuo reached a so-called acting agreement with Xu Wei, Dong Zhuo is also a veteran who has experienced many battles. Naturally, it is impossible to entrust his own safety to Lei Gong. Whether this thief keeps his promise, so he is preparing to attack Taiyuan County in Lei Gong At that time, the camp also began to be reinforced.And send a large army to occupy each fortress in each Taiyuan county!
Dong Zhuo was a little surprised that Lu Bu in Yuanping County was able to hold back the 10 Rattan Armored Army for 10 days.He originally wanted Lv Bu to be cannon fodder, but he didn't expect that Lv Bu actually retained most of the army, which made Dong Zhuo look at Lv Bu with admiration!
"Lü Bu's people are so powerful, facing the attack of 10 troops, they can delay for such a long time!"

Li Rudao: "This is because Lei Gong didn't pay much attention to Lu Bu and the others. He only sent Wang Yong's 3 vanguard troops to attack Lu Bu. The process of fighting was also very simple. Wang Yong's troops continued to attack Lu Bu's army with crossbows and arrows, and at the same time cleared the defenses around Yuanping County. Fortifications, and then cut off the water source of the moat in Yuanping County, so far we haven't fought a few times."

"And Lei Gong led an army of 7 to wipe out the local Wubao everywhere. It is said that Lei Gong himself summoned the powerful and powerful gentry in the entire Yuanping County, and blew up a hill with thunder in front of them, and immediately scared those people. Before Lei Gong attacked their Wubao, they took the initiative to hand over all the money, grain and land to Lei Gong, just to save their lives! It was they who delayed Lei Gong's time!"

And now Lei Gong's army was dividing the land, which gave Lu Bu and the others such a long time.

Dong Zhuo said clearly: "Let me just say, a bandit still wants to serve the country and the people, and he is selling dog meat as a scapegoat. Lei Gong didn't do so much to grab money and grain, and captured the entire Taiyuan County. What is it to save both sides of the Yellow River?" It’s just an excuse he made, and at his speed, he wouldn’t be able to reach the Yellow River even if the victims starved to death.”

"However, this is also good, Lei Gong procrastinates, we can also send a battle report to the court, and when we send the battle report to the court, it is said that Lei announced that he has stormed Quyang City, and our army has suffered heavy casualties. Please help!"

Li Ru nodded and said, "No!"

Then Dong Zhuo looked at the north and muttered to himself: "I hope Lei Gong can keep his word, otherwise the old Dong's family business will be really dangerous!"

"What kind of troubled world is this? I, a good and handsome military officer, was forced to be like this!"

Now Dong Zhuo's situation is very bad, not to mention Lei Gong's army, there are millions of Zhang Yan on Taihang Mountain, who knows if he will come to Bingzhou after he can't defeat Liu Bei, and the Yellow Turban bandits in Hedong and Hanoi have risen again It's over, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves are attacking the city everywhere. If they go north to Taiyuan County, Dong Zhuo will really become a sandwich biscuit.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo has led the army to fight for more than 30 years, and it has never been as dangerous as it is now. If he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. This is why Dong Zhuo does not want to fight with Lei Gong. Only by keeping his Xiliang army can he find a way out!
At the same time, the battle in Jizhou is fierce!
Unlike Dong Zhuo who reached a peace agreement, Zhang Yan is fighting hard. He is now trying to get a big territory before Liu Bei arrives so that he can fight Liu Bei. Last year, he was defeated by Liu Bei because of the betrayal of the Jizhou Army. I feel unwilling.

During this year, he established contact with Xu Wei, exchanged a large number of weapons and armor from Xu Wei with money and food refugees, and at the same time sent hundreds of people to Mayi to learn how to lead troops and fight.

These generals, who had learned the basics of leading troops for a year, returned to the Taihang Mountains after a year of study, and became the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army. It also brings organization.

In fact, whether a large army has combat effectiveness does not depend on talented commanders, but on a group of grassroots commanders such as qualified commanders and military commanders.

Because any commander needs to control the army through the army Sima and the head of the army.For a high-quality village chief, the army commander must know military law, obey orders, understand orders, and at the same time make soldiers obey orders. With this group of high-quality army commanders and other grassroots officers, even if they lead a group of refugees, They will also quickly form combat effectiveness.

Most people in the Yellow Turban Army are actually not afraid of death. Sometimes death is a relief for them, but the main reason why the Yellow Turban Army cannot form combat effectiveness is that their grassroots officers are too poor. All the officers died, which made the Yellow Turban Army a one-time army. The officers had no way to accumulate experience and pass on these experiences. This is the biggest persistent problem of the Yellow Turban Army's weak combat effectiveness!

But now Xu Wei has helped the Yellow Turban Army to make up for this weakness. A large number of grassroots officers have filled the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army. Now that Zhang Yan's army is in formation, it finally looks like an army. It can also be said that this is an elite teacher, and it is also the reason why Zhang Yan has the confidence to fight Liu Bei.

It’s just that Zhang Yan’s confidence is still not enough, but the generals of the Yellow Turban Army have no confidence now. They have suffered too many defeats over the years, and their defeats have been too miserable. Hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people will die every time. ministry public.There is such a defeat almost every year. No matter how strong the confidence is, I am afraid that they will not have much confidence to face the attack of the big man. If they have no choice but to fight, many people will give up becoming generals!

So when they heard that Liu Bei came to Jizhou with an army of 10, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army looked dignified. Their first thought was to flee to Taihang Mountain immediately, anyway, they had already robbed enough.

They really don't have the confidence to fight Liu Bei, especially in the battle of Jizhou last year. Liu Bei's cavalry made them fearful and dared not resist at all. I don't think the current Yellow Turban Army will be the opponent of Liu Bei's 10 army!

Wang Dang looked at his companions with a guilty conscience, stood up and pointed at them and said angrily, "What do you mean, do you want to escape again!"

Wulu whispered: "Even if we have an army of 30, most of them are victims of the disaster, and they are completely mobs. How can we be the opponent of Liu Bei's 10 army? We don't want to escape, but what should we do if we are not as strong as others? Our disaster victims died under Liu Bei's iron cavalry!"

Zhang Yan also closed her eyes helplessly.

Yes!There are too many losses, everyone has no confidence, now they want to take advantage of the advantages, and want to escape when they see difficulties!
Wang Dang said angrily: "Flee, where can we escape to? Now there are more than 200 million people relying on us. One Taihang Mountain can support so many people. Only by defeating Liu Bei and we occupy Jizhou can everyone survive!"

Ping Han said: "Why can't we survive? Isn't Lei Gong in Mayi always recruiting refugees. In the past, one could be sold for thousands of dollars, but now even if there are more, we can sell one for 100 dollars, so that we can get a lot of money. Lei Gong can also get a large number of people, and the victims of the disaster have survived. This can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It is not much better than us fighting Liu Bei to the death. If we really win Liu Bei, I agree to fight, even if there is half the chance. I am willing to fight! Unfortunately, we all know that against Liu Bei's 10 army, there is no chance of winning, so why take everyone to die!"

Wang Dang said angrily: "You actually want to sell the people to Lei Gong!"

He drew out his saber, as if he was going to kill someone!
Ping Han knew right away that he had said something wrong, and he explained: "I mean that everyone can go to Lei Gong to ask for a living, not because they want to sell the people!"

Wang Dangdao: "Since you like Lei Gong so much, why don't you take refuge in Lei Gong? We are the Yellow Turban Army, not the Tengjia Army. If we don't show our majesty, how will we face Lei Gong in the future? Now Lei Gong has also raised troops and is attacking Taiyuan County. It is not a problem for Lei Gong to occupy the entire Bingzhou, what will we do then? We still don’t have a single county territory, so we can only be bandits on the Taihang Mountains!”

In fact, there are many people here who want to join Lei Gong. After all, everyone can see that Lei Gong is much stronger than Zhang Yan.It's just that Lei Gong didn't like them, Qu Shuai of the Yellow Turban Army, and they had to start over when they went to Mayi. This was something Qu Shuai who was present couldn't bear.

Many of their friends went to Mayi, and many of them were even ordinary people in Mayi. They felt that they would not be taken seriously even if they went to Mayi, so they just stayed here!
Zhang Yan also said loudly: "Why does Lei Gong look down on us? It's because we are a mob. We tried to form an alliance with him many times, but he didn't agree. Why? We are not worried that we will drag him down. Look, Lei Gong is about to occupy a state now. , and we haven’t dared to face the Han army until now, what’s the point of our army’s existence like this, just lingering, hiding on the Taihang Mountains, seeing Lei Gong’s territory is getting bigger and bigger, leaving us even more backward Don't say it's Lei Gong, even I look down on everyone. It's good that the Han army is strong, but this is not an excuse for us not to fight."

Zhang Yan's words made everyone look ugly. They all remembered that a few years ago, Lei Gong's Rattan Armor Army was still the younger brother of the Yellow Turban Army. They could only provide some ordnance and armor, and they only dared to hide behind them and watch them fight the Han army.And it has only been a long time since he came to the world, Lei Gong has become a famous general who has won every battle, and now he is about to occupy the land of a state, but their Yellow Turban Army is getting worse every year, and now Lei Gong is not willing to accept them when they come to the door!

So the generals of the Yellow Turban Army shouted: "Fight, fight, fight!"

Zhang Yan said happily: "Okay, let's fight Liu Bei in Wei County, let Liu Bei see that my Yellow Turban Army is not easy to mess with!"
