Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 591
"Master, no!"

Just when Lao Yuan got angry, he wanted to deal with the rebellious people, but was stopped by one of his subordinates.

The man said to Old Yuan Tou: "You can't do it, the lord. We still have 30 soldiers and horses left, and [-] to [-] are bandits. We have more than [-] people, and the rest are all civilians." Now, and those bandits are not listening to orders now, they are gathered in the north, in a wait-and-see attitude, even if we can clean up the people, we will suffer heavy losses!"

"Then what do you think we should do? Do we want to let them go? As soon as they leave, Liu Wei's army will immediately burn the grain and force us out!"

Old Yuan nodded and said.

"Leader, we can let the people go out of the valley and surrender in front, and we will follow behind, and then rush out when Liu Wei captures the people, and then make another plan!"

The man spoke.

"Um……!"

Old Yuan thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it like this!"

At that moment, Old Yuan gave an order, ordering the soldiers guarding the valley mouth to get out of the way, while their servants and farmers followed the common people, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to fight out a bloody path and break out of the encirclement before making another plan.

When the people saw that Yuantou let them go, they agreed to let them go, they were all overjoyed, they didn't come to Lao Yuantou and the others, and they all ran towards Taniguchi.Lao Yuantou immediately ordered soldiers and horses to follow the people closely.

But when they came to Taniguchi, they were all dumbfounded. Liu Wei ordered the people who surrendered to divide into four rows, put down their weapons and come out one by one.

Seeing that there was a way to survive, the people did not care to stand in a few rows, they immediately lined up, threw away the weapons in their hands, and were tied up by the ropes prepared by the Liaozhou Army.

Moreover, those fifty artillery pieces were still aimed at Taniguchi, and the strong bows and crossbows were also aimed at Taniguchi. As long as anyone made a small move, he would be shot into a sieve immediately.

"Master, what should we do?"

From a long distance away, someone asked Lao Yuantou.

Old Yuantou was also forced to do nothing, and said, "Take off all your clothes and rub some dirt on your face. Let's pretend to be ordinary people and wait for an opportunity to escape!"

After finishing speaking, Old Yuan Tou took off the brocade clothes on his body, and then touched a few handfuls of dirt on his face, pretending to be a commoner and accepting the prisoners of the Liaozhou Army.

There are more than 20 captives here, and even if 500 people are tied together with a rope, it will take a long time to tie them up.

Therefore, the Liaozhou army was busy until midnight before they tied up all the more than 20 people and escorted them back to the camp.And the bandits in the ten cliffs saw that the old Yuantou had surrendered, and they all surrendered to Zhang He in a hurry.

As for Liu Wei, winning is winning, but all the captives here say they are common people, and Liu Wei is not a god, and it is impossible to tell who is a commoner and who is a gentry, local tyrant and squire.

"His grandma's, if I investigate them one by one and collect evidence, I won't be able to tell everyone apart when I'm so busy during the Chinese New Year!"

Liu Wei kept knocking on the table, thinking about how to distinguish who were the real common people, who were local tyrants and squires, servants and farmers in their families.

"Have it!"

Liu Wei had a flash of inspiration, and he had an idea in his mind. He just had to separate the people from each county and counties, stand together and let them identify each other. Who will be identified as local tyrants and squires.

Immediately, Liu Wei ordered the fat captives to tell where they were from, and warned them that if they said false addresses and the people around them did not know them, then they would suffer disaster and be regarded as local tyrants and squires. , that was to be beheaded, so all the prisoners honestly reported where they were from, how old they were this year, and who else was in their family.Liu Wei ordered everyone to be registered.After separating the people from all over the place, Liu Wei also called the people to identify who were the big landlords and big local tyrants where they were. Those people were lying, and they did not belong to their village at all.

With this method, it took Liu Wei only ten days to distinguish all the common people from the local tyrants and gentry... "My lord, this is our roster!"

Yang Jindao took two Huben Guards with him, and all three of them held a large stack of rosters.

"Don't show me this crap, just tell me how many common people there are, how many gentry, local tyrants and country gentry are there."

Liu Wei rolled his eyes, thinking that with so many rosters, I have to see when to go.

Yang Jindao smiled embarrassingly, and then answered: "Master, this time we captured a total of 36 people and killed 5000 people. Among the captured people, 19 people were ordinary people, rangers, and villagers Yong, there are 5 people who are bandits and bandits, and 12 people are gentry, local tyrants and squires and their servants and farmers. (The data are not counted as fractions)”

"Ok!"

Liu Wei nodded, and then said: "Distribute travel expenses to the people, and let them go home, but tell them that the king already knows their names and places of origin, and if they dare to do such a thing in the future This king will not be lenient about things like this! The bandits were all merged into the soldiers of the farm and ordered to farm for five years. If they behaved well, they could restore their identities, receive the land, go home to farm, and perform well. Those who are not good will be stationed in the army for another five years, and those who behave badly will be enslaved! How many people are there in the family of nobles, local tyrants, and squires?

Liu Wei looked at Yang Jindao and asked.

"10 people!"

Yang Jindao answered.

"Bring these 10 people into slavery and bring them back to Liaozhou to sell them. The remaining [-] villains will be brought back to Yecheng and beheaded!"

After Liu Wei gave the order, Yang Jindao immediately sent someone to act.

Three days later, Liu Wei personally supervised the beheading outside the city of Yecheng. Thousands of executioners beheaded for half an hour before beheading all [-] people. The blood stained the moat of Yecheng city bright red.

Next, Liu Wei sent people to confiscate the property of these people in a big way, and then distributed the land to the people, and then issued an order that the land in the south of Youzhou that was previously occupied by Yuan Shao, Jizhou, and Bingzhou were all exempted from taxes for one year, because The money and food collected in Jizhou is enough for Liu Wei to support the current army for three years.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Wei ordered Pang Tong and Xu Shu to set up conscription stations in various major counties in Jizhou to prepare for military expansion.Moreover, Liu Wei also broadcast a large amount of money and food, ordering Ma Jun to build a road ten meters wide, and the road must be solid, preferably made of stones and soil.This road leads to the county seat of Hanning County in the north, passes through Xiangping and Jixian in the middle, and reaches Yecheng in the south.Liu Wei knows one thing very well, whether it is war, business or benefiting the people, he must build roads.
