Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 227
It is said that ever since Li Hui and Zhang Yi defeated Yong Kai and Liu Chan captured Qingqiang King Huobu'eri, wherever the army went, it was like a broken bamboo.

Take Tonglao, break Kunze, and occupy Guchang.

The Yong family, which had ruined the main army, had no power to fight back. The county officials and soldiers fled or surrendered, and none of them had the heart to defend the city.

For a while, the captured counties gradually returned to their hearts under the vigorous propaganda and work of helping the poor by Liu Chan and his generals.

The hearts of the people in the counties that have not yet been won are also fluctuating, and the rumors about Liu Chan are spreading more and more, and the more they are said, the more magical they become.

In addition, the people in the county who were taken down were not slaughtered and plundered. On the contrary, under Liu Chan's rule, the atmosphere was cleared up. The big households in the county who used to steal and plunder and didn't know how to restrain themselves are now cautiously tucking their tails, for fear of being taken by Liu Chan. The opposite is typical.

Following the Huo family, there was the Yang family, a large family in Tonglao County, who ordered merchants in their family to hoard rice and grain.

Since the start of the war, they have been creating panic, hoarding, raising prices on the ground, and indirectly exploiting the people in the county and small businesses and small households by borrowing the price of grain.

This action forced many poor people in the county to become refugees, small households lost their land and became shaded households, and other families who barely survived were also miserable.

At the same time, they will also explain the reason for this situation, saying that it was caused by Liu Chan's southern expedition, diverting the conflicts and hatred of the people, and ruining the reputation of Liu Chan and the Han army.

When the Han army arrived, they took money and food, abandoned the city and fled to Kunze.

When Liu Chan's army is stationed, after learning about the situation, stay with Zhang Yi to guard the city, and personally lead the army to attack Kunze!
The army rushed 80 miles a day, arrived in Kunze in two days, arrived in the afternoon, and besieged the city for an hour. The Kunze county magistrate Kaicheng surrendered.

Immediately after entering the city, they searched and arrested members of the Yang family, a large co-worker, and arrested all of the more than [-] members of his family before dusk.

"Order all the counties to publicize the crimes of the Yang family and publicize the principles of our army. Three days later, the head of the family, Yang Ling, abandoned the city. Anyone who directly participated in this matter was hanged. The rest of the Yang family were sent back to work as slaves, farming and raising Animals, as a warning to others."

In addition, Liu Chan also confiscated all the money, grain and property hidden by the Yang family, and Yu Tonglao scattered them among the local poor people, and returned the money and food to the people.

The land it took the opportunity to annex will be returned together.

The common people in Tongluo rejoiced, and the Yang family's slanderous rumors about Liu Chan and the Han army were immediately self-defeating.

As for merchants and big households with a good attitude and no serious evil, as long as they abide by the rules set by Liu Chan, he will appease and protect them, and will not embezzle their wealth.

Since then, no one has dared to commit crimes against the wind.

In the counties that have not yet been taken, the unscrupulous big families who were too tightly attached to the Yong family fled to Dianchi Lake one after another, and their expressions changed when they talked about Liu Chan, fearing Liu Chan and the Han army more than a scourge.

Poor people and people of insight are looking forward to the arrival of the Han army, and even some riots broke out in some places. Before the Han army arrived, the county magistrate wanted to run away...

……

Dianchi County.

"Brother Xian, I heard that the Han army has reached Guchang County."

"Yes, dear brother, I only hope that the crown prince will dispatch troops to Dianchi Lake soon to save the people here."

"Huh? Brother Xian's family has a great career, why do you expect the Han army to come here, aren't you afraid of being like the Yang family?"

"Hey, my brother's words are wrong. The Han army only punished the fish and meat people and robbed the family. My family knows the law and abides by the etiquette and helps the neighbors. Even if the Yong family compromised with them when they entered the city, it was an expedient measure, Prince. How can it be difficult?"

"That's true. The prince's destiny belongs to him. I only hope that the rebellion will be put down as soon as possible, and my Nanzhong will be restored..."

"Hush! Silence, you and I will talk in another place, Yong Kai and the others are here."

When they saw Yongkai and Menghuo coming with their guards, they hurriedly left with their heads bowed.

Yong Kai and Meng Huo were not as relaxed as Liu Chan's Han army was attacking counties all the way...

Yong Kai hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, so he said urgently: "Brother Meng, it's been almost a month since your brother left, why hasn't there been any news yet?! Liu Chan's army has arrived in Guchang, and it will arrive sooner or later. Now there are only [-] defenders in Dianchi Lake, how can we fight against them!"

Meng Huo seemed to be much calmer. These days, Yong Kai's performance has "impressed" the barbarian king.

It's just a reverse admiration, I thought that the Yong family had occupied Yizhou County for generations, and this Yong Kai was usually decisive and ruthless, so he should also be a character.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Chan's army arrived, he immediately showed his original shape. The viciousness and cruelty on the outside could not conceal the cowardice and incompetence in his heart.

It's just that although Meng Huo no longer looks down on Yong Kai, if he wants to dominate Nanzhong, he still has to rely on the influence of the Yong family among the Han people.

At this time, he patiently comforted him and said, "Brother, you don't need to be so worried. Meng Yan has sent a letter before, and the Kunming clan is already actively preparing for the war. It has been a long time since they left, which just shows that they are fully prepared. Once their army arrives, they will definitely turn the situation around."

"Hi!" Yong Kai slammed his fist into his palm, "Wait any longer, when they are ready, our heads will all be chopped off by that kid Liu Chan!"

"I have sent people to closely monitor Gu Chang's road to this point. If Liu Chan advances before Meng Yan returns, I will retire until victory. It will definitely not be as my brother said." Meng Huo still looked very calm.

The Meng family's ability to order the barbarians and other ethnic groups here, and even the militant clans such as Qingqiang and Kunming, has to give face, not because of the protection of ancestors like Yong Kai, but because of the prestige of real swords and guns.

Yong Kai felt a little relieved when he heard the words, but the previous defeat, the experience of almost dying, and the destructive offensive of the Han army had made him a little frightened.

At this time, his eyes turned, and he said to Meng Huo: "I'd better take the road of Zangzang and enter Jiaozhou. I have written a letter to Jiangdong to express my heart. If I ask Jiaozhou to send troops to help me, and then join my brother's army, I can reach the enemy's north." military!"

Meng Huo turned his head and took a deep look at Yong Kai, feeling extremely disappointed.

It wasn't until Yong Kai was frightened by his stare that Meng Huo said: "Brother, if this is the case, Nanzhong will no longer be a place for us to wait. You and I will both live under the fence and bow our heads to Sun Quan. This is the same as being defeated by Liu Chan." What's the difference? People in Jiangdong are cunning, how can you trust them?"

"Can……"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Yong Kai was about to say more, when suddenly a rider galloped in the city and charged into the crowd of people.

Only when they got close did they slow down, and the riding horse stopped in front of the two of them. The knight got off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Patriarch! Meng Yan, the younger brother of King Meng Huo, and the King of Kunming brought five troops under his command, and they have come with an army! Now 30 meters south of the city Yuli set up camp, and we will arrive tomorrow!"

Yong Kai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arms: "Is this true?!"

"Exactly!"

"Hahahaha, good, good!" The sky cleared and the rain stopped, and Yong Kai instantly felt that he was doing well again, "You go to the mansion to receive the reward yourself, a big reward!"

"Thank you, Patriarch!"

Meng Huo had expected this, and he didn't lose his composure like Yong Kai did, but at this time, the corners of his mouth evoked a confident smile, ready to give the Han army a head-on blow.

"When they came here, they must have prepared a 'big gift' for Liu Chan. This battle will definitely turn the situation around. By then, the Han army will be repelled, and it will not be too late to make peace with Jiangdong. It is necessary to let Liu Chan and Sun Quan know that we are from the south. Underestimate."

With a large army behind him, Yong Kai changed his fearful expression just now, and said with a red face: "Brother Meng said it is true, when the army arrives tomorrow, after rewarding the whole army, we will go north to find Liu Chan and fight to the death! Hahaha... "

However, under the smile, the look in Yong Kai's eyes was complicated, not as simple as it appeared.

He wanted to vote in Jiangdong, but he also had his own considerations.

The main force of the Yong family was wiped out, and Yong Kai, who had no soldiers in hand, gradually became more and more confident in front of Meng Huo.

Even if this is won, he can only be reduced to Meng Huo's vassal. The reversal of the status of the two is somewhat difficult for Yong Kai to accept.

Tou Jiangdong is different. After all, they are all Han Chinese. Presumably Sun Quan will be more willing to support him, and will not trust the barbarians.

At that time, taking advantage of Jiangdong's situation, his Yong family still has a chance to make a comeback.

Although the army has arrived, the relationship between Yong Kai and Meng Huo is already far from each other...
