contend

Chapter 582
After Longxi Haoqiang raised troops, Nanzhong Haoqiang also raised troops one after another.

Unlike Longxi Haoqiang who is domineering, Nanzhong Haoqiang has very big ambitions.

The Kingdom of Shu has not completely subdued their hearts for decades. In the past, the Kingdom of Shu always coaxed and confessed to them. As long as they don’t rebel, they will endure anything. Yes, the military power regime seized it.

The rise of the Qin State not only refused to coax them, but also came to equalize their fields. Of course, the local tyrants with a strong reputation couldn't bear the bad breath.

Now that the Kingdom of Shu has fallen, the Kingdom of Qin has been defeated in Bingzhou, and the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Wu are secretly instigating and promising, and there is also the secret support of the gentry in the middle of Shu. If you don’t rebel, what are you waiting for?
Nanzhong has a very wide area, including the seven counties of Zangke, Yuexi, Zhuti, Jianning, Yongchang, Yunnan, and Xinggu. There are poor mountains and bad waters everywhere, and poisonous snakes and beasts that grind their teeth and suck blood.

I don't know when it started, rumors were flying everywhere in Sichuan.

After a while, Huo Yi, the governor of Nanzhong, joined the local tyrants and rebelled, leading [-] barbarian troops into Sichuan.

After a while Huo Yi was killed by Cuan Xiong and Cuan Gu, and Nanzhong was established.

The city of Chengdu was in a state of panic. It was not a good sign that such chaos broke out just after Qin State ruled the middle of Sichuan.

Some people have fled Shuzhong with the old and the young, and migrated to Hanzhong in advance.

Obviously, this year is a good year in central Sichuan, but the price of grain on the market keeps skyrocketing.

"Someone must be hoarding and disturbing the hearts of the people!" The newly appointed governor of Yizhou, Linghu Sheng, said.

"The turbulent undercurrent in the middle of Sichuan is to cooperate with the riots in Nanzhong. At this time, we should send troops quickly to calm down Nanzhong with a thunderous force, and the rebellion must not be allowed to grow." Bo Shangu said.

Other bureaucrats are also talking about each other.

Only Du Yu remained silent, walking up and down with his hands behind his back.

Du Yu agreed with Yang Zheng's implementation of the land equalization system, and he also keenly saw that the target behind the land equalization system was the powerful.

Du Zhou, the ancestor of the Du family, was a cruel official with the same reputation as Zhang Tang in the Western Han Dynasty. He enforced the law harshly and suppressed powerful people.

It's the same when it comes to Du Shu, he can't get along with the nobles, that's why he has a quarrel with Sima Yi.

What Yang Zheng is doing now is not just to restrain the powerful, but to let them spit out the people and land they ate. This is cutting their flesh, and of course they resist violently.

Qin State does not implement the land equalization system, and in the next ten or twenty years, it will definitely not be able to compete with the Sima family in the Central Plains.

Guanzhong is not the Guanzhong of Qin and Han Dynasties.

Qin State annexed Shu State and Guanzhong, but still has a long way to go.

"Nanzhong is the watch, Shuzhong is the inside, Shuzhong is settled, and Nanzhong is safe. If our army goes out, Shuzhong will rebel!" Du Yu's soldiers were the tallest among the people present.

Linghu Sheng is also hard to come by.

Obviously, there is some kind of connection between the tyrants in central Shu and the tyrants in South China.

Nanzhong was in chaos first, Chengdu's army went out, and Sichuan was empty, and then the nobles in central Shu could do whatever they wanted.

In terms of external environment, Wu State has already formed an alliance with Jin State.

Therefore, Wu's energy is spent in Shu.

Make a wish for the majestic appointment of the wealthy families in Nanzhong and Shuzhong.

Until now, the army of Xiling Governor Lu Kang was still watching outside Yong'an City.

Liu Jun, Inspector of Jiaozhou, Yu Si, and General Xiu Ze of Wu State led an army of [-] troops to stand on the border, eyeing Nanzhong with covetous eyes.

Shuzhong can be described as internal and external troubles.

However, Du Yu's words made the audience quiet down.

Zhou Zhi, Tian Zhang, Li Te and other generals looked in admiration.

Yuan Shao cupped his hands and said: "The governor's words are true. Our army is all soldiers from the north. If we rush into Nanzhong, we will suffer from epidemics. If we lose ground in advance and retreat, we will lose the prestige of the Qin army. Central Shu is not owned by the state."

The [-] Qin soldiers in Chengdu were all from Liangzhou, and they were not acclimatized in Chengdu, let alone Nanzhong.

The timing and location are in the hands of the enemy.

Du Yu said in a deep voice: "Shao Xian is a national scholar in the present age. Both literary and martial arts are a momentary choice. He will not let me down. Don't worry, everyone, Nanzhong will definitely have nothing to worry about!"

At this time, Nanzhong was not as chaotic as the rumors said.

Huo Ge is waiting in Nanchang County.

Not all Nanzhong tyrants rebelled.

Just like the Yongkai rebellion, Wang Fu and Lu Kai vowed not to surrender, Nanzhong Haoqiang regards Zhongtu as authentic and maintains the integrity of scholars.

It is true that the gentry tyrants annexed land and banned the population in Nanzhong, but they also made this barren land gradually Sinicized. They are the backbone of Han civilization in the local area and maintain the inheritance of the Han family.

Only the Cuan family abandoned the original Ban surname and merged with the local natives instead.

Cuan, Meng, Li, Dong, Yong, Mao, Zhu, Lu and other great clans, only Cuan and Yong were determined to rebel. Although the Meng family responded, they only stayed in words. Huo Yi followed suit, all watching his plan.

The gentry tyrants have never been monolithic.

A few days before the Huo Yi case, there were two imperial edicts.

One copy came from Luoyang, and he was enfeoffed as the king of Nanzhong, guarding Nanzhong for generations.

One copy came from Jianye, who named him the Great General of Zhengnan and Duke of Jianning County, which was also hereditary.

Compared with Jin and Wu, Qin is a bit shabby.

Only General Jianwei, General Jiahu Benlang, and Marquis of Jinshuiting.

It is almost the same as the treatment before the demise of the Shu Kingdom.

"It's okay to say what you think!" Huo Yi said lightly.

Fourteen officials including Yang Ji, Mao Jiong, Xie Xi, Meng Yue, Ma Rong, Li Song, Wang Cheng, and Dong Yuan gathered together.

"Wu Thief has always been unrighteous. We wait for an army of [-]. If we raise our arms, we can raise [-] to [-] people. Why should we look at Wu Gou's face?" Yang Ji retorted on the spot.

Shu people generally don't have a good impression of Soochow.

"The intention of the Sima family is to use us to disturb Da Qin'er, and they don't treat us sincerely." Meng Yue, who was born in the Meng family, said.

"Soochow has been in civil strife these years, and the country is not far away, so it must be taken by the northern country. We surrender, and we sacrifice the basics and seek the end! Besides, the king of Qin treats us well, why bother to betray him?" Yu Yang Zheng some.

But others also have their own ideas.

It is in their best interest to take advantage of the chaos to separatize Nanzhong.

Such a vast land is enough to establish a country.

Especially Mao Jiong, Meng Yue, Li Song, Dong Yuan and others are all from the wealthy families in Nanzhong.

I thought so in my heart, but no one said so.

Huo Yi has worked with them for many years, so of course he knows what they are unwilling to confide in.

It's always cold at the top.

Standing in his position is also to take into account the interests of his subordinates, otherwise why would these people support him?

Just as Yang Ji said, these people raised their arms and raised an army of [-] to [-] immediately, and Huo Yi also needed to be careful.

Since neither the Sima family nor Soochow is desirable, there are only two options left: obedience and self-reliance.

Huo Yi cleared his throat, "Everyone, the king of Qin took Shu, he showed great respect to his majesty, he did nothing wrong with the common people, and he firmly believed in us. This kind of monarch has no secrets. Du Dudu treats me like a brother. If you rebel, people and gods will be angry together, and the law of land equalization will benefit the people. If Daqin implements this strategy, it will be a prosperous age in decades. After three generations, they will be devoured by the local barbarians, if the Han dynasty is extinct, we will all be sinners through the ages."

Huo Yi is not a mere military general, he was a sacrificer for the prince back then, and has a close relationship with Liu Chan.

Zhuge Wuhou's Northern Expedition was also used as the office of the prime minister's office.

Yang Zheng treated Liu Chan kindly, rebuilt the ancestral temple of the Han family in Hexi, and married the princess, so Yang Zheng has been recognized by the loyal people of Shu.

Huo Yi's knowledge, ability, and military strategy are all leaders in Shu.

That's why Du Yu respected him so much, and every three to five days there would be letters to inquire about how to govern Shu and how to calm the people.

Huo Yi's understanding of the land equalization system was also analyzed by Du Yu for him.

Scholars are not nobles, they have their own pride and integrity.

Huo Yi is a leader among Jingzhou scholars after Zong Yu.

The reason why these powerful families in Nanzhong only look up to him is that on the one hand, he has great military achievements, and on the other hand, they respect his character.

"Nanzhong will always be the Nanzhong of the Great Qin Dynasty. If you want to rebel, you can sever justice with me now and meet in battle!" Huo Yi's majestic gaze swept across the generals, "The truth about Nanzhong will be expressed at a certain meeting." King Qin, if you can make great achievements in battle, why should you care about the benefits of mere fields and houses?"

Everyone bowed their hands, "I would like to listen to the command of the governor!"
