I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 197, Homecoming Mission
In the end, a few people broke up unhappy, but Liu Bei forcibly took over all the prisoners!

And Dong Zhuo didn't care, he brought his own army to take over all the counties occupied by the Yellow Turban Army in Wei County, and the Yellow Turban Army in these counties had long since fled, so Dong Zhuo easily occupied these cities.

The money and food left in Yecheng are extremely rich, the food alone exceeds 300 million shi, and there are also money worth 2 million!This is because Zhang Yan had already prepared and hid most of the supplies on the Taihang Mountain.

When Dong Zhuo saw these piles of loot, he said with emotion: "Sure enough, no one can get rich without windfall, and a horse can't get fat without night grass. This is a bit reasonable. Zhang Yan has swept up the entire Jizhou these years, and the wealth in his hands is really not Zhang Jiao's. Comparable! Zhang Jiao is too pedantic, he rebelled, and he still doesn't let go of his hands and feet to grab it, which is a waste of this precious land in Jizhou!"

Niu Fu excitedly said: "My lord, these food and grass alone are enough for us to feed for two years, and the money is enough for us for more than one year. This is really a big profit for us!"

It's no wonder that Niu Fu is so excited, because Dong Zhuo and other generals are also extremely excited. They have fought for decades, but there has never been a war as easy as it is now, with a lot of captures. This is simply a turn of events.

Li Ru calmly said: "This should be only a small part. You must know that Zhang Yan robbed Jizhou, the richest city in the world. He has robbed families of hundreds of years. The money in Zhang Yan's hands is probably more than that. There are many imperial courts, otherwise how could he support 30 troops!"

Li Jue excitedly said: "It means that there is more money on Taihang Mountain. What are you waiting for? We will rush to Taihang Mountain to grab it. Now Zhang Yan's elites have been wiped out by us. Only some old and weak people are left on Taihang Mountain." The women and children are dead, they have no combat power at all! The money on the Taihang Mountain is ours!"

Dong Zhuo lashed Li Jue with a whip and said angrily: "Li Lingzhi fainted, don't forget that there is a Lei Gong beside us, he can eat people. You still want to go to Taihang Mountain, you are waiting for Lei Gong to take our back broken!
Jizhou, where we came, has already picked up a big deal, and now there are such rich spoils, don't be greedy, pack up these spoils and let's go back to Shangdang County! "

"Wen You, send all this money to Zhang Rang, let them find a way to transfer us to Hedong County, I don't want to face Lei Gong, it's too dangerous!

And Shi Changshi and the others need the old man now, and they will help if they think about it. Now that the general and the scholars are so close, even Yuan Shao has become the general's adviser. After living for a lifetime, seeing that he is a running dog and a steel knife for the scholars to deal with them, Zhang Rang must not even be able to sleep now! "

Then Dong Zhuo said with emotion: "Why are we warriors suppressed by literati! It is because of these conspiracies and tricks that we are not opponents of literati. This He Jin obviously made his fortune by relying on the ten servants, and he is also their confidant. His position as a general is also the same. Zhang asked them to find a way to get it up, but they didn't expect that the general would be pulled into the scholar's side by the gentry. If it weren't for His Majesty's favor, Zhang asked them to have been swallowed by Yuan Kai long ago. "

"As an old superior, my scheming is second to none among big men. Few people in the world are his opponents. Look at letting Yuan Shao join the General's Mansion. People who don't know think that the Yuan family has taken refuge in He Jin. Turn over They immediately cut off Zhang Rang's most powerful support, and even made the general and Zhang Rang fear each other.

Few people in the world have such scheming methods. When I took refuge in him, I was terrified. If he was not stingy, he wouldn't even give him the position of prefect, and he looked down on warriors like us, and I wouldn't have taken refuge in him. Zhang let them! "

Then Dong Zhuo sighed and said to the generals beside him: "You will leave the old man's wings in the future. Be careful what these people say. No matter what they say, you must think about it three times in your heart. This is the old man who has been an official for many years. Experience, it is useless for me to know how to fight! Duan Xi has won every battle, and he died in Luoyang Tingwei Prison!"

Guo Si said: "With the general here, we can manage the war well!"

Li Su smiled and said: "Our Xiliang army is a whole, how could it be possible to break away from the general's wings!"

After pondering for a long time, Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo: "General, Ha Nei County in Hedong County is the confidant of Luoyang City. Foreign troops rarely approach these two places. Wan Dajun went to Hedong County.

Not to mention that now Shangdang County still has to resist Lei Gong. Even if Zhang Rang took the general's money and made the general the governor of Hedong County, most of the general's army will stay in Shangdang County and hand over to others to take over. The general can I'm afraid they won't take away more than 1 people! "

Dong Zhuo began to ponder, whether the army was important or the prefect of Hedong County was more important. If there was no Lei Gong army pressing down on the border, Dong Zhuo would not even think about it. He was sure that the army in his hands was important.

He can get to where he is today. Apart from being a scholar, eunuchs and generals, he has a strong Xiliang army in his hands, so that all parties of the big man can't do without him.

But even if he has an army of 6 in his hand, if he fights out with Lei Gong, he might as well escape from this kang as soon as possible!But when he thought of giving up the Xiliang Army that he spent more than ten years cultivating, Dong Zhuo was so heartbroken that he couldn't bear it at all!
Seeing the reluctance in his heart, Li Rudao: "Actually, Shangdang County is not far from Luoyang City. We can find out the situation of Luoyang City at any time to make plans. The only dangerous place is that the Lei Gong will attack us!"

"But the general doesn't have to worry. He has received millions of refugees. It is impossible for Lei Gong to attack the big man without spending a few years to settle these refugees. Moreover, even if he attacks the big man, he will attack Youzhou and Jizhou with a high probability. After careful study of Lei Gong's actions over the years, he found that Lei Gong is cautious and rarely initiates wars. He even occupied the entire Wei County at the beginning, but the timing was not good, so he immediately turned around and fled to Bingzhou, where the court could hardly take care of like Mayi. .”

"Lei Gong must understand the significance of Shangdang County to the court. Occupying Shangdang County is equivalent to pointing a sharp knife at the heart of the big man. Unless he wants to launch an all-out war against the big man, otherwise he will not be able to attack the Shangdang The county, so the position of the general looks dangerous, but it is actually very safe! From the perspective of my subordinates, we should stay in Shangdang County and wait and see the changes in the court!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a long time, and felt that Li Ru's words were reasonable, so he said: "Then don't bribe that dead eunuch Zhang Rang, let's go back to Shangdang County to celebrate this victory!"

On the other side, with Zhang Yan being killed, the period of good cooperation between Liu Bei and Jizhou's elite clans has come to an end!

Although the prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army were protected by Liu Bei, the nobles in Jizhou immediately contacted the prefects in various parts of Jizhou to cut off Liu Bei's food, and no longer paid food and grass to Liu Bei's army.

Although Liu Bei's army still has food in stock, it is difficult to maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people!Fortunately, Dalu Ze is his base, and he led the army and the captives of the Yellow Turban Army to temporarily settle in Dalu Ze!

At the same time, Jizhou was in chaos again.

The nobles who have been staying in Jidong finally don't have to worry about their safety, nor do they worry that Zhang Yan will help these rioters rebel.They took their own private soldiers and began to take revenge on the common people who had joined the Yellow Turban Army.As long as the people who have a relationship with the Yellow Turban Army are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army among them, these people are either killed by them, or they are captured by them as coolies to help them rebuild the docks and manors.

Not only did the prefects of Jizhou fail to stop the behavior of these nobles, but they also felt that it was time to set things right. The chaos in Jizhou should be respected by the nobles and powerful gentry, so that Jizhou would be completely stable. No matter how high the price was, it was worth it of!
Instead, they lead the soldiers of the county to help them suppress the common people. Any common people who dare to criticize the nobles are rebellious in their eyes. To be killed is to become a coolie.

Among them, Wei County, Zhao State, and Zhongshan State can be described as the hardest-hit areas. The policy formulated by the powerful clans is to require each county to kill one-tenth of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and capture two-tenths of the families of the Yellow Turban Army. Doing hard labor, the rest of the people will also be heavily taxed, let them know what will happen if they join the Yellow Turban Army!
In Jizhou now, the common people who dare not listen to the powerful words of the gentry and gentry will surely meet the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and waiting for them will surely mean death.The counties and counties near Taihang Mountain have become a purgatory, and there are Jingguan made of common people's heads at every intersection and mountain intersection.

And this kind of massacre is still expanding. Soon every county in these places has a Jingguan, every township has a Jingguan, and finally exaggerated to the point that every village has a Jingguan. Shock the people!

And the people of Jizhou were really shocked by their bloody killings, and they fled to Taihang Mountain to avoid such killings!
In the counties near Taihang Mountain, there were not many deaths between the repeated killings by Zhang Yan and the Han army. On the contrary, this killing made the three counties of Zhao State feel a little uninhabited.

It has been a month since Liu Bei learned the news.

He said angrily: "Are they crazy? This will only drive the people to Lei Gong's side. Don't they think that if we kill Zhang Yan, we don't have to worry about Lei Gong! If we continue to kill like this, the big man will lose all the hearts of the people in Jizhou !"

Jian Yongdao: "They are worried that the people will rebel, so they want to use this method to frighten the people!"

Liu Bei said angrily: "You can't let them continue to mess around. Yunchang, Yide, Zilong, you lead 1 cavalry to Zhongshan, Changshan and Weijun respectively. I will control any powerful clansmen who dare to slaughter the common people. If you continue to fight, you can kill them all and let them understand the pain of the common people!"

"No!" Guan Yu saluted Liu Bei three days later and left immediately.

Jian Yong said worriedly: "Xuande, you are going to make an enemy of the entire elite clan in Jizhou!"

But Liu Bei said coldly: "It's not that I want to make an enemy of the nobles of Jizhou, but the nobles of Jizhou are forcing the common people of my big man. They are making enemies of my big man!"

"They don't think that I can't survive without their food and grass army. Now I will gather 10 troops to see if their money and food can really stop my sword!"

The full moon is in the sky, the moon and stars are rare, and Yuanshi City is silent!
There are only sporadic candlelight and laughter in the middle of the city from time to time!

A few fair-looking women from the Jiaofang Division surrounded Lu Yi and poured wine on him and beat his back.Dozens of businessmen around him fawned over Lu Yi and said, "Brother Lu, I only want 1000 slaves. The price is not a problem, but I want young and strong ones. I don't know if Brother Lu has any!"

It's funny to say that when there was a flood, the entire Central Plains was chasing out refugees.But when Xu Wei took in more than 500 million victims, the nobles in the Central Plains discovered that after floods and wars, and the people who fled to the mountains with the Yellow Turban Army, the entire Central Plains lost six or seven million people. The powerful and powerful gentry who annexed the people's land could not find people to cultivate these lands.

And just when they heard that Zhang Yan, who was encircled and suppressed, was put down, they felt that there would be a large number of captives who would not be used as serfs to farm, so they sent people to Jizhou to buy some slaves!
Lu Yi said wildly: "Don't say 1000 people, even 1 people, I can help you get it. Changshan country has millions of people, and it is not easy to catch 1 people. Our Changshan country has one tenth of the murderers." Quota, and two-tenths of the slave quota, this adds up to 30 people, what is it to give you this few people!"

The businessman was surprised: "Brother Lu, you can arrest 30 people, and the court won't take care of it?"

There is no way to play like this in troubled times!Of course, these businessmen knew that the so-called rebels were the people of the big Han, and those who really wanted to rebel had already fled to Taihang Mountain with Zhang Yan and the others!But they feel scared when they hear your grasping method.

Lu Yidao: "I catch some rebels, why should the imperial court take care of them? Anyway, the imperial court has loosened the restrictions on recruiting soldiers. In a few days, I will raise 1000 private soldiers, and I will also be a military officer for fun! Then I will catch rebels It's even faster!"

A few merchants hesitated now. They knew that there were a lot of cheap slaves in Jizhou during this period, so they came here. They thought they were captured by the Yellow Turban Army, but they didn’t expect that they were directly arresting ordinary people. I dare not continue to communicate.

Lu Yi seemed to see their scruples and said: "Don't worry, this order is the order of the prefect of Changshan, and what we do is all legal business!"

But at this moment, hundreds of soldiers surrounded here, and they soon killed Lu Yi and the others.

Lu Yi said angrily: "Who let you in!"

Zhao Yun said coldly: "Lu Yi, you committed a crime, I'm here to arrest you!"

Lu Yi said angrily: "You dare to arrest me, do you know that Princess Changshan Bo is my uncle!"
