Wang Yue answered seriously this time, and he said firmly, "The soldiers and horses you came to Youzhou this time must be your elite, and I need to bring them back to Qingzhou for training. Rely on them and help me take Jingzhou down."

Liang Wang was a little dumbfounded, he hadn't started to surrender yet, Wang Yue had already arranged him clearly.

He saw that Wang Yue was counting on one step at a time, and that he was not wronged this time, and he could understand that Wang Yue would not want him to die, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

After all, if the emperor hadn't been too nervous to force him, he would also want to be a handsome prince, and of course have real power to save his life.

In fact, he didn't understand at all in his heart, why the old emperor insisted on getting rid of him instead of dealing with so many disobedient governors.

But the old man had already died of illness, so Liang Wang had no place to ask, so he sighed and said very melancholy, "In that case, I will go back to Qingzhou with you, but please take my family members from Wancheng was taken to Youzhou."

Gu Jiusi was relieved when he saw that Wang Yue really convinced King Liang. He felt that his elder brother was so good, how could he convince King Liang so easily.

You know, he has been persuading him for several days, his mouth dry and tongue dry, but it turned out to be of no use at all.

Wang Yue was not as simple as Gu Jiu thought. He looked at King Liang on the tower, and said in a very indifferent voice, "In this case, please send troops out of the city to surrender, and my Qingzhou soldiers will escort them to the designated place for training. .”

Liang Wang saw that Wang Yue was still so cautious at this time, and he sighed in his heart. He signaled his subordinates to follow the second step of the plan, and then said loudly, "In this case, we will leave the city and surrender immediately."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went down the city wall, then put his helmet on his head, and mounted his horse in military uniform. This posture did not look like a surrender.

Of course he didn't want to surrender. With an army of 8 in his hand, as long as he could break through the siege and go to Yongliang to join his other subordinates, he might still have a chance to fight for world hegemony.

The reason why he said that just now was to paralyze Wang Yue and the soldiers on both sides and create a good opportunity for himself.

You know, most of his subordinates were obviously convinced by Wang Yue. If he insisted on defending, many of them would definitely defend passively, or even fight back, making him unable to defend the city at all.

In addition, there is really not much food in the city. If Wang Yue is besieged for another month, he will run out of food, and he will not be able to escape even if he wants to escape.

So he was going to attack the Qingzhou soldiers who were waiting to accept their surrender while he was leaving the city.

When the two armies had already fought together, King Liang didn't think his soldiers would dare to surrender at this time.

After all, after a bombing surrender, it was hard for Qingzhou soldiers to trust them, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who came with him could only accompany him all the way to the dark.

It's just that he calculated quite well. After leaving the city, he suddenly took the lead and rushed towards Wang Yue with his soldiers and horses. The other generals also followed his instructions and rushed towards the Qingzhou soldiers outside the city who were about to accept their surrender. The phalanx charged past.

The men and horses on both sides were too close, and King Liang almost succeeded, but when they were less than 20 steps away from Qingzhou soldiers, they suddenly shot a dense rain of arrows from behind the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, knocking Jingzhou in front of Wang Yue. The soldiers and horses were turned on their backs by the shooters.

The arrow rain seemed to be free of money, wave after wave, the overwhelming arrow rain killed most of the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou who rushed to the front, and even the king of Liang was hit by a few arrows.

Although Gu Jiusi was good at martial arts, he was obviously too naive, or lacked some experience. Just now, he really thought that King Liang was really said to have surrendered.As a result, after the city gate opened, he suddenly saw the scene just now, and he was completely frightened.

He looked at the countless hedgehogs in front of him, and said in astonishment, "Brother, did you expect that?"

Wang Yue didn't answer, he pulled out a special long sword from his hand, snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly, "King Liang is dead, surrender and don't kill him!"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he rushed into the Jingzhou soldiers and horses first on his horse, and chopped down several generals who were still in shock.

And Wang Ping and Wang An knew Wang Yue's routine for a long time. They left the infantry behind and rushed along with the cavalry. , All of them were killed.

Those who rushed to the front with King Liang originally did not want to surrender, but as a result, most of these people were set up as hornet's nests.

After being dispersed by the Qingzhou cavalry, those who rushed behind were not strong at all. Most of them gave up their weapons and chose to surrender.

Wang Yue's battle broke out suddenly and ended quickly. By the time Tianhei Wang Yue entered the city, Wang Ping and Wang An had gathered the surrendered troops, and arranged for people to rescue those injured, even those injured in Jingzhou. Soldiers and horses, as long as they are not dead, are arranged for medical treatment.

After Wang Yue pacified Youzhou, it was of course impossible to give up. He left Gu Jiusi in Youzhou to manage the government affairs of Youzhou, and then left a large army to guard the border. Jin, as for Youzhou City, he has not sent troops to station for the time being.

He did this for two reasons.

He left Gu Jiusi in Youzhou City, wanting to see which one Gu Jiusi would choose between him and Zhou Ye?
Anyway, Youzhou City was obtained for nothing, even if it was lost, it would not be a pity. He should first consolidate most of Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou that he had just obtained.

As for Youzhou, after he regained his strength, let the troops stationed in Jizhou go north, and he can easily get it back.

Another point is that Gu Jiusi is kind to everyone in Youzhou. He is the safest guard here, and he can play a more important role in guarding the border and reassuring the people.

It can also make the people of Youzhou no longer miss Fan Xuan, the governor of Youzhou, and slowly accept that they are from Qi.

……

When Wang Yue set off, there were more than 20 troops, and when he returned to Qinghe, there were [-] troops.

Tens of thousands of them were refugees along the way. They heard that the soldiers in Qingzhou were allotted land, so they decisively joined the Qingzhou Army.

After Wang Yue returned to Qingzhou, he decisively broke up the Jingzhou army and distributed them to various barracks for training, and there were special people in each barracks to promote Qingzhou's policies. Jun is not from a rich family, so he will definitely join them in Qingzhou sincerely.

At the same time, Wang Yue had to throw down a bait so that Fan Xuan and Liu Xingzhi had no time to look around, so he could use this time to strengthen himself.

In order to fear that Liu Xingzhi and Fan Xuan would unite, Wang Yue put a knife on Liang Wang's neck, and asked Liang Wang to write a letter to his cronies in Yongliang, asking them to withdraw from Yongliang to the south of Yuzhou and the northeast of Jingzhou. Firmly control there to prevent Liu Xingzhi from advancing eastward.

The cronies of King Liang thought this letter was suspicious at first, after all, the news of King Liang's defeat in Youzhou had already been spread all over the world.

But they found that they actually had no choice. If they continued to stay in Yongliang, they would have to face the siege of Fan Xuan and Liu Xingzhi at the same time.

What's more, the location Wang Yue assigned was very close to their hometown of Jingzhou, unlike when they stayed in Yongliang, where they had no support.

So, after receiving the order, the subordinates of King Liang only had a little discussion before decisively carrying out the order.

After doing all this, Wang Yue arranged for his men to seize dangerous places in Yuzhou and Yongzhou, and arranged defenses on the spot.

Then, within the scope of his control, he began to measure the land, confiscate the land of those aristocratic families, and at the same time limit the number of private soldiers of these families.

At this time, Wang Yue didn't have so much business. If he asked him to share it with the aristocratic family, he could only give some tax policies, so that these families don't have to pay taxes temporarily to offset the land they donated. value, wait until the deduction is completed, and then resume the collection of taxes.

The aristocratic families who remained within Wang Yue's control for the time being all understood Wang Yue's plan. Although they were very dissatisfied, they found someone to intercede with Wang Yue.

It's just that Wang Yue didn't care at all. After measuring the land, he immediately divided the land equally, and at the same time handed over the surplus land to the garrison guards.

Most of these soldiers and horses are divided into the land of aristocratic families, so they can also monitor the local area during the process of farming, which has the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

But not all aristocratic families are so ignorant. Because of tax exemption, their shops sell a little cheaper than other shops. At that time, relying on this benefit, they got more money than the previous land output.

Because the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou are sharpening their swords, those aristocratic families who were still looking for people to rely on their connections have no choice but to bite the bullet and start doing business.

In the past, although they also preached that everything is low-grade, only reading is high, but the shops they control do not rely on business to earn money, but they just talk about money while making money.

Now Wang Yue directly puts everything on the table. After they lost their land, they can only make it clear that Juma competes with those businessmen.

The reason why Wang Yue dealt with these aristocratic families so quickly was that the floods in Yanzhou and Jizhou controlled by Wang Yuexin were too serious. He needed to send a lot of manpower and material resources to dredge the river and cultivate the fields at the same time. Slowly apply a soft policy to these aristocratic families.

After all, those aristocratic families who resisted Wang Yue most fiercely were not as knowledgeable as the Qinghe Cui family, and their reputation was not as good as the Cui family.

The Cui family built bridges and roads in Qinghe County to help the victims, but did not take advantage of the disaster to force poor families to sell their children and land.

The aristocratic families in Yanzhou and Yuzhou took advantage of the catastrophe and when the people had no food left, they took the opportunity to annex a lot of land and didn't care about the lives of the people at all.

Wang Yue didn't have the patience to continue playing with them. He felt that if he didn't take the time to dredge the water conservancy and let the people in the territory live in peace as soon as possible, he would have no time to train soldiers and horses, let alone compete in the Central Plains.

……

Seeing Wang Yue, the King of Qingzhou quickly sweeping the large area of ​​Darong, Liu Xingzhi of Yizhou and Fan Xuan, the emperor of Daxia Kingdom, were originally wary.

After all, Wang Yue's Qi State and Jingzhou soldiers and horses have some kind of cooperation. The combined strength of the two sides cannot be defeated by either of them.

Now seeing Wang Yue offending the aristocratic family again in Qingzhou, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all started to compete for the land of Yongliang.

If Liu Xingzhi can get the land of Yongliang, then the area he controls will be connected together, and he can get more taxes and train more soldiers and horses.

If he could take down Hangu Pass, he would be invincible, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he took advantage of the time when King Liang's men were leaving, and quickly swung his troops into Yongliang, heading towards Hangu Pass. Go to Guguan.

But Fan Xuan moved faster here. After all, they were relatively close to Hangu Pass, so he simply asked Zhou Gaolang to lead the army to quickly occupy Hangu Pass, relying on Hangu Pass to attack the land of Yongliang.

The two heroes are very clear that whoever seizes the land of Yongliang first will be able to destroy the other, and whoever destroys the other first will have the opportunity to destroy Wang Yue.

Fan Xuan was even more afraid that Wang Yue's side would be too safe. He knew that Youzhou would definitely not be able to go back now. After all, Chen Liu's army stationed along the Qinghe River was to prevent him from contacting Youzhou.

Therefore, he issued several imperial decrees in succession, granting Gu Jiusi the governorship of Youzhou, and Liu Tong of Yangzhou the governorship of Xuzhou.

After Wang Yue got the news, he was very speechless. He did this to create a rift between him and Gu Jiusi.

After all, Liu Tongpan and Gu Jiusi were related by marriage. The two of them were north and south, and if there was any friction, Wang Yue's territory would be torn apart.

Regarding this, Wang Yue was very clear in his heart. He had adjusted his deployment long ago, and he had no intention of controlling Youzhou or Yangzhou. It was very difficult for Liu Tongjuan to control the eastern part of Yangzhou, let alone plot Xuzhou.

As a result, Youzhou and Bingzhou, all states in the world, were relatively peaceful, and the territory of Qi State controlled by Wang Yue was in a hurry to equalize land taxes and provide disaster relief.

Yangzhou is still a battle between you and me, but because no one has the absolute power to control the entire Yangzhou, there is friction between the two sides, and the people live better than before.

After all, whether it is Liu Tongpan or Wang Shanquan, they need to win people's hearts now. Of course, it is impossible to disturb the lives of the people. Even fighting must be more cautious, and they seem timid.

But Fan Xuan and Liu Xingzhi, who were fighting in the land of Yongliang, were in a hurry. Both parties wanted to take this unowned land as their own, and the fight was quite brutal.

Although they also had some scruples, they still beat the not-so-rich Yong Liang to pieces.

Now there are only three who have the strength to compete for the world, King Yue of Qi, Daxia Fanxuan of Zhongzhou who has a large number of cavalry, and Liu Xingzhi who has occupied Yizhou and Jingzhou.

This is like the Three Kingdoms!
