I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45, a new beginning

Looking at the endless corpses and the blood-red sun, Liu Bei stood numb.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at the sluggish Liu Bei and worried: "Brother?"

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly filled with tears and said, "Big fellows shouldn't be like this!"

"I, Liu Bei, swear here that in my lifetime, I will restore the imperial court, restore the Han Dynasty, put the sun, the moon, and the stars in their respective places, and the people of the four peoples will live in peace. I want the world to be peaceful again!

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed suit and solemnly said: "We will definitely revive the Han Dynasty with someone else, so that the world will be peaceful!"

In July of the second year of Zhongping in the Han Dynasty (AD 185).

The vigorous Zhang Niujiao uprising was finally suppressed by the Han army. Except for Xu Wei's department in Yanmen County and Chu Feiyan's department in Taihang Mountain, the million Yellow Turban troops were wiped out by the Han army.

Emperor Ling was overjoyed and pardoned the world.

At the same time, with Zhao Zhong's experience, he finally knew that if he wanted to continue to let Shi Changshi buy and sell officials, he would eventually spit back all the money he got!

So this time he dismissed all the officials who escaped from Jizhou, and it was rare for Lingdi to be generous, appointing the hero who wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits this time to be the prefect, the county magistrate, and he didn't even let them pay the official money.

As the commander-in-chief of this large army, Emperor Ling was so bold that he made Fu Cheng the Mu of Jizhou, and even sealed a 5000-household Marquis of Hanyang.

Of course, the reason why Lingdi is so generous is also related to the spoils handed in by Fu Bian. This time, the Yellow Turban Army forcefully cleared up the nobles and powerful families in Jizhou.

Zhang Niujiao and the others confiscated more than 100 billion yuan, 1500 million shi of grain, and treasures and materials from other continents from these aristocratic clans. Although Zhang Niujiao and the others consumed them, they were taken to the Taihang Mountains to hide some Xu Wei got it, and the rest were captured by Fu Bian.

Knowing the current situation of the imperial court, Fu Bian allocated 30% as a reward to the soldiers, 200% stayed in Jizhou to settle the refugees, and the remaining [-]% was fully handed over to the imperial court. There are about [-] billion yuan and [-] million shi of grain. It was the financial income of the big man for a year. Faced with such a large amount of wealth, Emperor Ling was naturally generous, and he praised Fu Bian for being sensible and a minister of the country.

He has been the emperor for decades, which military general doesn't spend money like water, it's the first time he sees money back, how can this not excite him, how can such a loyal minister not reward him heavily!
Not only Fu Bian was granted the title of marquis, but the Lingdi who was in a good mood made Youzhou governor Liu Yu, Liaoxi school lieutenant Gongsun Zan, Bingzhou governor Zhang Yi, Hedong captain Ding Yuan, etc. were all given the title of marquis, and other meritorious officials were rewarded. It can be said that this time The rewards are higher than those of last year's Yellow Turban Uprising. Even if other people were not granted marquis status, they were generally promoted by one or two ranks.

And Liu Bei was promoted to the captain of Tuntian, and he became a senior bureaucrat of the Han Dynasty, and followed Liu Yu to Youzhou Tuntian.

At the same time, Xu Wei finally came to his ideal base - Yanmen County with 20 people!

Yanmen County was set up by King Wuling of Zhao during the Warring States period to fight against the aliens in the north. According to historical records, Li Mu was the first line to fight against the Xiongnu during the Zhao Kingdom.Shanwu, where Qin ruled, is located in the northern part of Ningwu, the old prefecture of Shanxi, the southern part of Shuoping, and the northern part of the eastern part of Datong. In the Han Dynasty, it was also the Zhiyin Hall of Yanmen County, with 14 counties under its jurisdiction.They are: Yinguan, Mayi, Yixian, Loufan, Guangwu, Yuanping, Lucheng, Wangtao, Fanyi, Juyang, Guxian, Wuzhou, Pingcheng, Qiangyang and other counties.

But since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the big Han began to shrink their power in the grasslands. Most of the frontier troops in Yanmen County were transferred to the interior to fight the Yellow Turban Army, and finally put down the Yellow Turban Uprising. However, Liangzhou Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou rebelled.

Especially Li Wenhou is one of the leaders of Yi Conghu.

Don't underestimate Yi Conghu's identity as the leader. When the Qiang people rebelled, the big Han recruited pro-Han Qiang people to deal with the rebellious Qiang people.

Especially Duan Yan, one of the Three Mings of Xiliang, his subordinates are basically Qiang people, and Duan Jiong is also one of the famous generals in the late Han Dynasty. More than [-] ranks, more than [-] cattle, horses, sheep, mules, donkeys and camels were obtained, and the cost was [-] billion. More than [-] soldiers died in battle, and the Western Liang Qiang Rebellion was quelled, and was renamed Duan Jiongxin by the court Marquis of Fengxian County, there are ten thousand households in the city of food.

Leading the Qiang people to fight the Qiang people, and having such a strong record, novels dare not write like this. It can be said that Duan Xi is also a genius commander in the style of Huo Qubing.

And the identity of the leader of Yi Cong Hu was Duan Yu's original subordinate. After the Qiang rebellion was put down, the imperial court gave some cattle and sheep land to the pro-Han Qiang people to retire.

And these people became the leaders of Yi Cong Hu, that is to say, these Qiang people are all elites who have fought for a lifetime, and they are also closely related to the Xiliang frontier army. Dong Zhuo is their comrade in arms, which is why the imperial court is in Xiliang There are 10 troops, but the reason for Xiliang still cannot be settled, because the rebels are all experienced soldiers and generals.

And this time Fu Bian took away another 3 troops. The entire Yanmen County, that is, Yanmenguan, an important Guanyi, still has 1500 defenders stationed. The other counties are basically empty, relying on powerful private soldiers to maintain local stability. .

Xu Wei came to Yanmen Pass with 20 people, and the guard simply gave up Yanmen Pass.

However, there is no imperial army outside Yanmen Pass, and the only way to survive here is to rely on the ability of the Han people themselves.

Fortunately, in this era, the Han has dominated the grasslands for more than 300 years. Even if it is now in decline, the Hu people fear the strength of the Han and dare not make mistakes. The Han can still survive outside the customs, but the population is small.

Yanmen County has 8 counties outside Yanmen Pass, but the combined population does not exceed 5.

Just imagine, a place larger than Beijing has only 5 people, how empty it is.

When Xu Wei stationed 20 people in Mayi County, it made the place lively.

Wang Lei and the others looked at the dilapidated city of Mayi County and said, "Captain, this is not even as good as the towns in Jizhou. Can so many of us really live here?"

It’s really not Wang Lei’s nonsense. A single county in Jizhou has hundreds of thousands of people, more than the whole county of Yanmen. In Mayi, the county magistrate Haoqiang knew that Xu Wei and the others had already fled here, even a little The money man also fled.

There are only thousands of poor people left in the whole Mayi. They can't escape, and they don't dare to escape. They can only resign themselves to fate.

Xu Wei smiled and said: "Look at how empty the road is, and it will be fertile land when it is reclaimed. Such a big place is enough to feed us 20 people. It is impossible for the Han army to come and kill us now. We can build new land here. Family business!"

Xu Wei just likes the open space here, without other messy relationships and feudal forces, a blank sheet of paper is good for painting.
