Soldiers come to the world

The Battle of Hanzhong can only be regarded as an additional battle of the Battle of Bashu. At the beginning of the march into Bashu, Shangyong foreshadowed and Liu Zhang sent troops to lay the foundation for the final capture of Hanzhong.

After Liu Jing entered Yizhou, capturing Hanzhong became a matter of course, and Zhang Lu, who was desperate, finally fled to Yedu and surrendered to Cao Cao under Yan Pu's persuasion.

Ten days later, Liu Jing arrived in Nanzheng City. At this time, Wei Yan and Gan Ning also led their troops to Nanzheng to join Zhao Yun's Jingzhou army.

Outside the city gate, outside the west gate, dozens of Jingzhou generals came out of the city, when Liu Jing arrived at Caicheng Gate surrounded by thousands of soldiers, everyone knelt down on one knee and saluted Liu Jing, "See Zhou Mu! "

Liu Jing got off his horse and stepped forward to help Zhao Yun and the others up one by one. He patted Zhao Yun's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of approval, and Zhao Yun bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Zhao Yun is only a minor achievement, not worthy of state shepherd's work." Appreciate."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "If General Zhao has only minimal achievements, what will others do? Being too modest doesn't necessarily make people like him!"

Everyone laughed together, "Zhou Mu is right. If General Zhao is too modest, it will block our way of getting rich... that... the road to great rewards."

Zhao Yun gave a wry smile and said nothing more, Liu Jing smiled at the crowd again: "Everyone has put in a lot of effort in capturing Hanzhong this time, and I will reward everyone one by one in recognition of their achievements."

Everyone was overjoyed and bowed again, "Thank you for the state animal husbandry award!" [

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Liu Jing, and Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Please come to the city, Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing happily got into the carriage. Under the guard of hundreds of cavalry, the carriage slowly drove towards Nanzheng City. Everyone got on their horses one after another and followed the carriage. The carriage drove slowly on the central street of Nanzheng City.

Liu Jing stood on top of the carriage with a sword in his hand, and looked at the big city of Hanzhong majesticly. The buildings in the city were very neat, the streets were clean and wide, and there were no dilapidated thatched huts and bamboo houses. It could be seen that Zhang Lu managed Hanzhong very well.

On both sides of the street, every household put up incense tables outside their doors, and knelt to welcome Liu Jing into the city. Liu Jing was quite touched, and smiled softly to Zhao Yun who was following him: "Brother, do you still remember what happened in Runan back then?"

Zhao Yun nodded slightly, and sighed: "Back then when my virtuous brother said that he had the ambition of the world, I just laughed it off, but who would have thought that nine years later, you would have one-third of the world, and no one knows your details better than me. gone."

Liu Jing laughed out loud, Zhao Yun was filled with emotion, and recalled that he and Liu Jing had fled, that humble boy turned out to be a generation of heroes with great talent and boldness, he had to marvel at God's miraculous arrangement, thinking of this, Zhao Yun's face also revealed 』He let out a sincere smile.

At this time, thousands of people rushed to the street, singing and dancing to welcome Liu Jing. Liu Jing saw that their clothes were mixed, and smiled at Zhao Yun: "Hanzhong and Chengdu are very different. Most of them are local Shu people in Chengdu, and their clothes are the same. , but Nanzheng City seems to have clothing from all over the place, it seems that there are Chu people, Shu people, and many Qin people."

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "The people in Hanzhong are actually the most Qin people, and most of them fled from Guanzhong to seek refuge. I don't know the specific situation, so you can ask Mr. Fa."

Liu Jing thought of one person and asked, "Can Yang Song surrender?"

"He wanted to surrender, but he has a bad reputation and is too corrupt, so I didn't agree to him for the time being."

Liu Jing nodded, "Bring him to see me later!"

. . . . . . .

Hanzhong originally belonged to Yizhou, but was split off by Zhang Lu. It governed Hanzhong, Wudu, and Weixing counties.

But now that Liu Jing occupied Hanzhong, the three counties of Hanzhong returned to the jurisdiction of Yizhou, but Hanzhong remained independent militarily, and this Tianshi Mansion was renamed Hanzhong Military Office.

Liu Jing rested temporarily in the inner hall. After a short while, Meng You led Yang Song over in a hurry. He asked Yang Song to wait in the yard for a while, and he went in to report to Liu Jing. [

At this moment, Yang Song was very nervous. He wanted to surrender to the Jingzhou army, but Zhao Yun refused, and sent troops to control his mansion, which made Yang Song panic that a catastrophe was imminent.

His only hope is the Meng brothers. Can Liu Jing spare his life for the sake of taking in the Meng brothers? At this time, Meng You came out from the inner hall and smiled at him: "Please come in, Mr. Yang!"

Yang Song tremblingly walked towards the inner hall, and when he reached the door, he asked Meng You again in a trembling voice, "Marquis Chu...do you want to kill me?"

Meng You comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry! It's not that serious."

Walking into the inner hall, Liu Jing was sitting on the couch drinking tea slowly, Yang Song'thumped! Kneeling down, bowing down and kowtowing, "Criminal Yang Song pays homage to Marquis Chu!"

Liu Jing glanced at him, smiled and said: "We have dealt with each other a long time ago!"

Yang Song was taken aback, when did he deal with Liu Jing?His thoughts changed sharply, and he suddenly realized that when the Tao family passed through Hanzhong when they were selling horses, he was the one who bribed them to let them go.

He suddenly understood what Liu Jing meant, which was alluding to him accepting bribes. After thinking about it, he turned pale with fright and trembled all over.

Liu Jing looked at him coldly, this man is indeed a great talent, financial management can be called the best in the world, but his weakness is also obvious, he is too greedy, Liu Jing also wants to use him, but before using him, he must Hit him well.

"How much money have you saved and how much land have you bought over the years? Tell me the truth!"

Yang Song was covered in cold sweat, his forehead resting on the ground, his thighs were trembling, and he stammered after a while: "I don't like buying land, only... 1000 two hundred acres, money... I count I don't know."

He is not innumerable, he knows how much money he has, but he dare not say it out.

"How many children do you have?" Liu Jing asked again.

"Two sons...a daughter."

"It seems that you don't have many children, so how do you spend all the wealth you have accumulated?"

Yang Song couldn't say a word, he was born to love to collect money, this has become his pleasure, as for how to spend the money, he didn't think much about it.

Liu Jing smiled and said: "Let me show you the way! You can make money in an open and honest manner, you can do trade, open shops, and you can also have a lot of money.

In fact, you don't have to take the risk of taking bribes, it will not only damage your moral character, but also bring you death. My Jingzhou has a patrol station, and they are all spies. The whole family is copied and chopped, do you understand what I mean? "

Yang Song was stunned, he understood what Liu Jing meant, that is to let him make money in the right way in the future, and stop being greedy for bribes. He seemed to see a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he kowtowed: "Criminals dare not be greedy anymore. bribed."

"Okay! That's the end of my words. I won't touch your former land and money, and I will treat it as your ancestral inheritance. But starting today, if you dare to embezzle another coin, I will copy your entire house." Beheaded, all family property will be confiscated, do you remember?" Liu Jing said sternly.

"Sinner...remember!"

"Get up!"

Yang Song climbed up tremblingly and stood with his hands down.

Liu Jing took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "I appoint you as the prefect of Hanzhong, to manage Hanzhong well for me, to be honest and honest to the public, in the future I will make you a Marquis, let you honor your ancestors, and leave a famous name in the history books. "

Yang Song's tears welled up suddenly, and he was so moved that he knelt down again and cried, "I wish to repay my lord for your kindness!"

. . . . . . .

Yang Song resigned and left. Liu Jing glanced at the guard standing at the door, saw that he hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Fa is here, waiting outside."

Seeing Liu Jing's tired face, the personal soldiers hesitated and said, "How about I ask him to come back later?"

Liu Jing went all the way to the north, and he was really tired. He wanted to rest for a while, but since Fazheng had already arrived, Liu Jing cheered up and said, "No need, let him come in!"

The soldiers withdrew, and not long after, Fazheng was led into the back hall, where he knelt down and bowed, "My minister pays homage to Zhou Mu!"

"You're welcome, sir!" Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled.

Fazheng sat up straight, and handed a cleared list to Liu Jing, "This is the situation of the population treasury in Hanzhong, please look over it to the state shepherd."

Liu Jing took the inventory and did not open it for a closer look, but said with a smile: "I'll take a look at it at night, sir, why don't you tell me first."

"As ordered!"

Fazheng sorted out his thoughts briefly and said: "Speaking of which, the situation in Hanzhong is really unexpected. The population exceeds 40 households, with a population of more than 85. Nanzheng alone has [-] shi of grain and [-] pieces of cloth. , [-] catties of gold, more than [-] heads of livestock in the government, the money piled up like a mountain, and a lot of it was rotten. I have to admit that Zhang Lu was good at managing Hanzhong, and Yang Song was good at managing money. family property."

These figures made Liu Jing very happy. This time he marched into Hanzhong and Bashu to get such a rich harvest, which really surprised him. Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the pressure on Jingzhou was completely relieved.

At this time, Fazheng said again: "There were only [-] households in Hanzhong more than ten years ago. It was mainly because of Dong Zhuo's "rebellion" and Li Cui's "rebellion" that a large number of people from Guanzhong flooded into Hanzhong, and the population increased rapidly by five. Over the past few days, Weichen has also investigated nearly a thousand households, and they have some doubts about the prefecture's taking over Hanzhong, the key is the tax, if the tax increases, many people plan to return to Guanzhong."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked: "How much tax is paid in Guanzhong, can we know about filial piety?"

"About [-] taxes. In addition, there are oral tax, counting tax, and corvée. It is not too low. It is similar to Yizhou. More importantly, a large amount of land in Guanzhong has been left unused for many years. If they want to go back to Guanzhong, they can only do so. Just talking about it, they have been stable in Hanzhong for many years, and I guess no one is willing to ask them to return to Guanzhong to face the risk of war."

"It makes sense."

Liu Jing also laughed and said: "The occupation of Hanzhong is not for their tax, so let's maintain the status quo!"

"Wei Chen understands."

At this time, Fazheng asked hesitantly, "What does Zhou Mu mean, is that I want the minister to stay in Hanzhong?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "Let Xiaozhi stay in Hanzhong, it's too wronged."
