Chapter 51 - Easy to capture
The Gongsun clan in Liaodong had to choose a camp, but in fact, a consensus had been reached within the Gongsun clan in Liaodong. Gongsun Du had to come, otherwise the main lineage of the Gongsun clan would have to be replaced.
Shen Pei can express his opinions on behalf of several gentry. There are also people in the Gongsun family who are smart and agile. However, Gongsun Du didn't know that Guo Jia's appetite was so big, Youzhou, the eleventh county, county, town, and 90 states.
The Gongsun clan of Liaodong County and Xuantu County are quite influential and can barely control one or two. After all, there is a great righteousness in the Han Dynasty. If Lelang County is willing to sell some benefits, it can also be maintained. However, Guo Jia also set up Liaoxi County, Liaodong vassal state, and Youbeiping County, which requires Gongsun clan to do his best.
Of course, Guo Jia said that he would also pay merits afterwards and would represent Gongsun Du as the prefect of one of the three counties of Lelang, Liaodong and Xuantu.
This is what Gongsun dreamed of. The position of a high-ranking official of two thousand stones is nothing, but one of the prefects is very important at this time. The position of the prefects is nine ministers. Although the Gongsun clan is in Liaodong, he has to respect the prefects and prime ministers of various counties and states.
There is nothing else. The prefect and the prime minister have important positions in the inspection system. As long as the Gongsun family wants to maintain their family's prosperity, they must be obedient.
...
"Zhengnan, why do I think you were a little restless and a little dazed just now?" Guo Tu asked in confusion. Now that he was on the string, he had to. He did not doubt Guo Tu. Everyone worked in the eldest princess's mansion, but the people of their aristocratic family were not the eldest princess's heart, and they were basically in the local county and state system.
Qianshi and 2,000 stones are both responsible, but this does not mean that you have to be obedient. He believes that Guo Tu is like him. Although he is a 2,000 stone official and the prefect of Yuyang County, he does not think that Guo Tu can give up the great cause of the family for this position.
"Nothing, I just thought of something." Guo Tu's eyes flashed with helplessness, and some things could only be borne by himself.
Even if one person has a short plan and everyone has a high plan, Guo Tu knew that he would better not tell others these things. He is quite a spy. If it is exposed, the gentry alliance will fail and he will be sacrificed to the flag.
"I can't help myself..." Shen Pei showed an incomprehensible mockery look on his face. What else can I say when it reaches this point? The family's ideals and his ideals are intertwined, and now they cannot retreat. As for the world of the Han Dynasty, he cannot tolerate that he thinks so much!
"..." Guo Tu looked at Shen Pei in confusion. What's the situation? He said this without any beginning or end.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to care." Shen Pei picked up the teacup at this time, covering her expression, and then said with a chuckle, "I just remembered some things, and I also asked you to do more. We need to unite to fight with those under Your Highness. I am the only one who can't do anything!"
Guo Tu didn't care, there was a gap between people, so Guo Tu naturally understood a long time ago, and he had already had some contact. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the gentry in Jizhou suffered a great loss. He fought with the Princess' Mansion at this time, and it was difficult to say that he had a victory or defeat.
If you win, you can't do anything. You just maintain the previous order and force the eldest princess to slow down. If you lose, then everything will be done.
But he had to do this. Everyone knows that if the reform progress of the eldest princess's mansion was made, every month, one county and one place were guided, and the time was faster and faster. Now the powerful gentry and powerful forces in Hejian, Zhongshan, and Bohai County in Hebei have completely lost their place to stay.
Either go to business or split your own family. This may be a good thing for the remaining meridians in the family, but for the main meridians, this is bad news.
If the progress of the three counties and states in northern Hebei was fast due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the current situation in ancient counties, Guangyang County and Yuyang County made the Jizhou gentry who fled here frightened them and the local Youzhou gentry.
The power of the people is so terrifying. Every citizen just needs to pick up the farm tools, and the power of the gentry is nothing.
The county town has been in a downturn, and the county town is not bad. Now, under the system of the eldest princess's mansion, the role of the county town seems to be useless, let alone the grassroots level of townships, villages, and pavilions.
This forced the gentry to join forces, not to rebel, but to show their own strength, and to force the eldest princess to stop the pace of reform.
Previously, the eldest princess's mansion confiscated horses from all over the country and formed cavalry, which almost collected the horses stored by the gentry in Youzhou. At this time, the cavalry was still a strategic force on the battlefield. If the gentry alliance wanted to show its strength, cavalry was essential, but the Donghu people were hunted by the Han army and had no place to buy horses.
I could only rob it, especially the tens of thousands of war horses stored in Yuyang in the Princess's Mansion. However, Yuyang County is a military farm and a lot of docking and fort system has been built, so it is very difficult to attack.
When Yuyang County was about to escort nearly 10,000 horses back south, everyone in the gentry alliance saw this opportunity. Is it a trap? They think it is not. This is a very conventional escort mission.
The Han army escorted food and grass to Yuyang County and handed over it to the Northern Expedition Army. When they came back, they escorted war horses and some supplies. This was a very normal logistics transportation.
At this time, the gentry alliance also received millions of refugees who were migrating by the Yellow Turbans. That horn was so abominable. Instead of using soldiers, refugees were used. This move blocked the princess' pace of advancing south and gave the Yellow Turbans an important respite.
At this time, the defeat of the Yellow Turbans was already very clear. Although it was still very popular in Jizhou and had great results in Qingzhou and Qingzhou, it had been completely divided. Qingzhou Yellow Turbans retreated step by step, and the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, Sili and other places were also wiped out one by one.
Now if the elite under the eldest princess are as long as they advance south, the Yellow Turban will be wiped out within March. However, the eldest princess is kind and righteous, and countless refugees go north, they must first worry about the survival of the people.
...
"The Yellow Turban is really a big deal, and there are another million refugees!"
Hedong, Dong Zhuo was laughing at this time. He knew the whereabouts of the person who killed his son-in-law and wanted his neck, but he knew that this person had been invited by the eldest princess, so he naturally offended him a lot.
He just wanted to make trouble there, but there was no way to assassinate? He could not even intercept the business road, and he didn't have the strength. Now the eldest princess is very clear about his intention to make a move to slow down Nanjin. Unexpectedly, when she fell asleep, someone handed her a pillow.
"Lord, we can use the Yellow Turban hand to hold the eldest princess. There is a large number of millions of refugees. Even with the wealth in the eldest princess's mansion, it is not easy to store it." Li Ru took the first step forward and bowed to Dong Zhuo.
Some people say that Li Ru is very smart, but in fact he is not a big deal. He has agility at this time, but he may not be able to make plans. He can only see it in front of him. If it is comparable, there will be a river in Liangshan in later generations, and military advisor Wu Yong is similar to him.
"What Wenyou said is reasonable." Dong Zhuo was also very wise at this time. He guarded Hedong. Although he and the Yellow Turbans had victory or defeat, he had support from the court, so it was easy to make a comeback after the failure.
"Then we won't attack the Yellow Turban for the time being, so that they can move the refugees north with peace of mind. When the princess is trapped by these refugees, we will move eastward and drive out the Yellow Turbans, and we will achieve great things."
At this time, Dong Zhuo didn't want so much. He was already a 2,000-stone official. He had good friends with the gentry and eunuchs and maintained good relations in all aspects. However, he went further and did not know whether it was joy or sorrow.
In fact, the position of the Nine Ministers is not as free as the position of the Prefect. The Prefect can support soldiers, but most of the Nine Ministers do not have the financial resources.
Li Ru had some plans. He saw an opportunity, but the opportunity was very slim. Now in a chaotic world, he didn't have much to do, so he could only work with Dong Zhuo and adapt to the situation.
...
In Ji County, Shen Pei was in charge, Guo Tu, Ju Yi and others had already left the city to ambush, and the large group of troops led by Wen Chou was about to arrive. After hearing about Wen Chou's strength, in order to be foolproof, the gentry alliance had sent all the elites at this time.
It was dark, and Shen Pei had been in charge of the city gate at this time. The soldiers and generals at this city gate were all their own people. After the lights in the city gradually dimmed, the city gate was quietly opened.
"I will meet the Minister of Public Security in the end."
Not many people came, only about two thousand people. Shen Pei sighed slightly at this time, handed over the map, marking the location of each aristocratic family that was determined to rebel.
Following the map, they swept over one by one, and took down a large number of families. It was almost dawn that Shen Pei led the remaining 100 people to the gate of Yan's family.
"Knock on the door." Shen Pei glanced at the door of the Yan family mansion and gave Hu Che'er beside him a look.
"Bang bang bang bang!" Hu Cheer directly knocked on the main door with a big axe, saying that it was a knock, but it was actually a smash.
"Who? It's not calm at this time." An old man's voice came out, and with a "click", the old man poked his head out.
"Take it all!" Shen Pei glanced at the Xu family and knew what was going on, and ordered loudly.
"Who are you? You dare to attack our Yan family at night." Yan Rou walked out of the inner courtyard at this time. He had not seen Shen Pei yet, but he knew that something was wrong when he saw Ming Guangguang's armor, but he still said tough for the sake of the family.
"Your Highness has an order. Yan's rebellion will be arrested and waiting for investigation." Shen Pei walked into the door at this time, looked at Yan Rou, but his expression was cold and fierce. Then, with a wave of his hand, Hu Cheer directly brought the Han army to kill him.
Yan Rou was shocked when she heard this, raised her hand and pointed at Shen Pei, her face turned pale. Since she saw Shen Pei, he knew that something was wrong, and then he made a fuss in his heart, "The children of the Yan family followed me to fight out!"
"Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!" Shen Pei swept over Yan Rou coldly. Although he promised Guo Jia that he would show mercy during the trial, he would leave behind those who dare to resist.
These people must have hated him deeply. The enemy is not hateful, and the traitor is the most hateful. Even if they live, they dare not hate the eldest princess, but they will hate Shen Pei deeply.
For those gentry who had obvious potential, Shen Pei personally led people to arrest them. Since he wanted to do it, he would do it. Yan Rou was nothing in the past and he looked down on him in the past, but as an enemy, he was also considered the number one figure, so he naturally had to kill him.
Shen Pei made a little hint, which mobilized Yan Rou's emotions, making him unable to surrender, but resisted stubbornly. After the opponent attacked first, Hu Cheer immediately exuded his amazing strength and quickly cleared all the Yan's people who dared to resist stubbornly.
Yan Rou didn't even take out the powerful crossbow he had hidden in his house, and the family members were completely defeated. No one in the Yan family escaped. Yan Rou, who was standing in the middle, was considered a brave man. At this time, he was covered in blood and had no other spirit. He stood in the middle and looked at Shen Pei in disgrace.
"It's all over, it's all over..." Yan Rou fell to the ground bitterly. At this moment, he completely understood that everything they had done was already being plotted, and even more so that Shen Pei was so cruel.
...
In Yan State, when Zhao Yun pushed open the door of the Xianyu family's main hall, the expressions of the heads of aristocratic families were extremely wonderful, flustered, dodged, and shocked. For a moment, the expressions of these originally pampered heads of aristocratic families were a little panicked.
"Thank you for General Zhao's rescue." Tian Yu stepped forward to thank him at this time. "Several heads of the gentry were trapped in a secret room."
"Who?" Zhao Yun was a little unhappy when he heard this. He didn't have much trouble at all. Xian Yufu couldn't even stop him with one move.
Originally, the one who was supposed to be the rebellious Zhen family would be the reign of the ashes. Unexpectedly, until the end, Zhen family was very honest and did not rebel. The one who rebeled was the Xianyu family who had been playing the edge ball in the rules. What Xianyu liked to do the most was to take advantage of loopholes, and it was very good at taking advantage of loopholes.
You have to say that they have violated the rules, but their approach always makes Chen Xi, who manages the regulations, have the urge to strangle them.
"They scolded Xian Yufu angrily, so they were tied up and took them out." Tian Yu nodded and said.
Although Zhao Yun was unhappy, he felt depressed by the enemy without taking action. However, he was very satisfied with the behavior of the Tian family and other tribes, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to go and find the secret room.
Now a large number of refugees will arrive, and there is no time to argue with these gentry members. They will pit the military soldiers they have in control, and then capture the elite family members, with Shen Pei and others in the cooperation, and there are famous officials and generals outside, so naturally they will be foolproof.
