The Pension Plan Expands from the Three Kingdoms to the Heavens

Chapter 209 Guo Jia VS Zhang Hong
After Taishi Ci's army entered Qingzhou, the land of Qilu returned to its former peace, at least in the eyes of the Qingzhou family!
But in the eyes of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, their war with the aristocratic family had just begun. When the army captured Qingzhou, the heritage of the aristocratic family could be seen at a glance. Everywhere the army went, there were countless children of the aristocratic family opening doors for the army. obstacle!

This power made Zhuge Liang tremble, and even Lu Su was a little shaken. Now both of them felt that the family's control over Qingzhou was too great. Even if they had occupied this land, they did not dare to relax, because when If the aristocratic families here feel that their own interests cannot be guaranteed again, they will abandon Gongsun Lu without hesitation, just like they abandoned Yuan Shao!
The two first used the grain and salt they had defrauded from Guo Tu to stabilize the price and people's livelihood in Qingzhou, and then with the help of Fengyu School, they successfully discovered a huge network of relationships where the power of the family was condensed. !
Basically every county in Qingzhou has people from aristocratic families serving as officials. Now the task of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang is to tear apart this network and cleanse the entire Qingzhou!
But this time the method has to be a little gentler, it can't be like Song Jiang's!

The news of the capture of Qingzhou and the defeat of Wen Chou's army also reached Yuan Shao!
This old man who was already seriously ill was suddenly devastated by these two pieces of bad news!

At the same time, due to his long-term eating habits of high-calorie, high-fat foods and lack of exercise, Yuan Shao, who had a high physical condition, lost his energy in an instant!
After shouting in the handsome tent, "I'm so angry!", he suffered a stroke!

From a medical point of view, it is a cerebral thrombosis, causing hemiplegia!

Yuan Shao's serious illness suddenly caused the morale of Yuan's army to drop to freezing point. Yuan Shang and several counselors worked together to temporarily lead the army to retreat simultaneously!
Gongsun Lu did not stop and waited for Yuan Shao to leave. Now was a great opportunity, why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
So Gongsun Lu took Zhao Yun as the vanguard and began to pursue Yuan Shao's army from Zhongshan!
One city after another was defeated by Zhao Yun very quickly!

In order to speed up the siege, Gongsun Lu even used gunpowder, which he had hidden for several years and was preparing to leave to the next generation to attack Jin!

At the same time, the artillery brought from the Caribbean was re-tempered, and a cannon was directly used to attack the city. None of the countless city gates along the way could block such a murderous weapon that was more than 500 years ahead of this era!

However, Gongsun Lu did not intend to promote the development of artillery in this world.

He had a better choice, so every time he used it, Gongsun Lu would directly put it away, making the group of military heroes think it was his lord's magic!
But it was enough for these generals, the lord had already opened the city gate.If they still can't attack, then their group of peerless generals are too weak!
In just two months, the army defeated Hejian and Xindu respectively!

At the same time, Gan Ning, who was stationed in Jinan, defeated Pingyuan through the ancient Yellow River ferry in Pingyuan Kingdom!

In Julu City, Yuan Shang was riding a war horse and escaping all the way towards the west gate. He did not dare to look back, because the one pursuing him behind him was Lu Bu riding a red rabbit!
The father-in-law, with a face as serious as water, held a precious eagle bow and aimed at his back and shot an arrow!

There was a sound of "噗!"

Yuan Shang was hit hard by an arrow in the shoulder, and his head went dark. He held his shoulder, and at the same time, he could hardly hold the sword in his hand. He simply pointed the long sword behind him and hit him hard. Give it a hard shake!
Lu Bu immediately pulled on the reins, swiped Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, and swept the long knife to the side.

But after such a meal, Yuan Shang fled away, and Lu Bu shook the halberd in his hand fiercely!

The horse the opponent is riding may not be as good as Red Rabbit, but it is still a good horse for a thousand miles, not to mention there are hundreds of guards and Yuan Shang in front!
Knowing that he could no longer catch up, the old man turned his horse and turned back to the city extremely annoyed!

Lu Bu quickly returned to the tent and saw his son-in-law gesturing at the sand table in Jizhou!

He didn't bother Gongsun Lu. He walked beside his son-in-law and stared at the map as well!

Now most of Jizhou has been taken by Gongsun Lu. After Julu was captured, Handan became the capital. The seat of Handan was Yecheng, which was the city that Boss Cao failed to capture even after two years of attack in history.

Gongsun Lu doesn't have two years to spend now, so he has to make a quick decision.

Just as I was thinking about this, a messenger ran into the tent and shouted, "My lord, General Huang Zhong is back after killing the enemy general Chunyu Qiong!"

This made my father-in-law grit his teeth and feel angry!
Huh, lost again!If he hadn't wanted to capture Yuan Shang alive, he wouldn't have let him run away!
Ignoring his father-in-law's expression of eating lemons, Gongsun Lu directly replied, "Let him in!"

After Lu Bu and Huang Zhong came in, all the generals in the tent were all present, except Zhao Yun, who had been sent by Gongsun Lu to attack Changshan!
In the big tent, almost everyone was happy. This battle was fought so smoothly. In just two months, half of the richest Jizhou in the world belonged to them. These military generals also made money. A lot of feats!

"No more fights!"

It was Zhang Hong who said this!

Gongsun Lu ignored it and still looked at the map in front of him!
But the old man's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on these passionate generals!
They all looked at the old man with some dissatisfaction!Under such a good situation, shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Why did Zhang Zigang say such depressing words!
My father-in-law was even a little angry. I haven't competed with Huang Zhong yet, so how could I not fight him?

Zhang Hong ignored the dissatisfaction of these generals and immediately took out a stack of data reports and spoke directly to Gongsun Lu.

"Lord, our army has captured Qingzhou and half of Jizhou in the past three months. Although the situation is overwhelming, it has already consumed our army's money and food inventory for three years.

If the fight continues like this, it will definitely affect the local development of Liaodong and Youzhou in the next year!

Especially the pensions for our soldiers who died in battle have already accounted for a year of Youzhou’s taxes! "

Zhang Hong said this not because Gongsun Lu had too many soldiers killed in battle, but compared to Yuan Shao's casualties, Gongsun Lu really didn't have many martyrs in this year's campaign!
But Gongsun Lu gave too much. After a soldier died in battle, not only would the family's taxes be exempted for ten years, but they would also receive a pension of nearly one gold every year!

Joining the army provides excellent benefits and more pensions after death in battle. This is why Gongsun Lu was able to recruit nearly 20 troops in just five or six years!

These generals heard this and said nothing.Regarding the issue of pensions for soldiers, they did not dare to interfere casually anymore. They were all soldiers, and they were comparing their hearts to each other. Who would want to die in battle and not even receive a pension!
Zhang Hong did not stop and continued, "What's more, our army dispatched nearly 20 civilians to transport grain, grass and weapons in this battle. It is now approaching spring plowing. If these civilians are not allowed to return home, I am afraid it will cause the cultivation of the next year!"

And these newly conquered cities still need a lot of money and food to renovate and build!My lord, it’s better to stop the war first! "

Even my father-in-law didn't dare to speak now. Farming is never a trivial matter. If it is delayed, it may affect the foundation of the power!
However, Guo Jia on the other side had a different opinion. His peach blossom eyes twisted, he frowned slightly and walked out immediately.

"Unlike what Mr. Zhang said, only Yecheng is left in Jizhou now. As long as Yecheng is captured, Jizhou will be completely waiting for us!
At this time, Yuan Shao is critically ill, and the Yuan family has not decided yet. It can be said that they are leaderless!

Now the two sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are fighting. It can be said that brothers are at odds with each other. This moment is really a golden opportunity!Don’t let it go! "

"Guo Fengxiao, you just encourage the Lord to attack Yecheng regardless of the cost. If you have Jizhou, then you don't want Liaodong and Youzhou? You can't make it through after all!"

"Hmph, it's obvious that you, an old man, are timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Our army is rising like the sun. How can this little difficulty stop the front of my army?"

Just when the old man and the young man were showing off their teeth and claws, blowing their beards and staring, rubbing their hands and elbows, they were ready to show their full martial arts skills.

The newcomer Huang Zhong looked blankly at Lu Bu, who was looking at him, "Are all the military advisers under the lord so tough?"

Huang Zhong is regarded as a lifelong enemy by his father-in-law, so the two of them are relatively familiar!

However, Lu Bu, who had just joined the party not long ago, said: "How do I know?" However, in front of his old enemy, the father-in-law felt that he could not be too embarrassed, so he expressed it lightly and in an old bird's tone.

"It's just a small scene!"
