For Liu Bei, the subjugation of the Yellow Turbans meant that there were no more internal dangers, and all the princes who learned this information were silent. Guan Hai's righteous deed shocked all the princes, and also gave all the princes a sense of It feels like Liu Bei is the reincarnation of Liu Xiu.
The original Emperor Guangwu was so lucky. He rose quickly from a declining royal family, and came to support him from all directions, and then established the world. Liu Bei seemed to have repeated this process. First, millions of yellow scarves came out of Qingzhou, and the big leaders knelt down. After that, they took Qingzhou and Guan Hai went to death, all of which were taken away by the people.
Territory is not important, but people's hearts are important. Yuan Shao was so angry that his head ached when he learned this information. At their level, they can capture a large piece of territory in minutes if they want to, but the people's hearts and minds of the people in the land are occupied. That's the biggest problem.
It seems that Yuan Shao is fighting so smoothly in Youzhou now, but how many people in Youzhou really surrender to Yuan Shao? Suppressing internal rebellions is what Yuan Shao spends the most time on now. Thinking about Jizhou, which used Jushou's plan to peacefully accept Han Fu, in the end Guan Chun and his group rebelled.
This is still a disciple of the Yuan family, otherwise the turmoil will be even greater, and in some places in the newly occupied Bingzhou and Youzhou, there will be rebellions here today, and dissatisfaction there tomorrow. In short, the small rebellions have not stopped since the beginning.
Having said that, the rebellion in Bingzhou is much less than that in Youzhou. After all, Guo Yuan and others in Bingzhou where Xun Chen left them have already mastered how to win the hearts and minds of the people. How to win the hearts and minds of the people in Bingzhou? Xun Chen used facts to teach Guo Yuan and Gao Gan and others, one word "beat"!
This "fight" should not be for Guo Yuan and others to fight the people of Bingzhou, but to fight north. No matter what species they encounter on the way north, as long as the Han people are not killed on the spot, fight all the way north, and kill the largest Han people at that time. The state was forced to fight again.
By the way, I forgot to mention that the largest state in the Han Dynasty was Bingzhou, not Yangzhou, but there was something wrong with the boundary demarcation of Bingzhou.
All in all, because of this conflict between Hu and Han that has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Jin Dynasty, it seems that the Hu people at that time were referring to the Donghu people, but no matter what kind of Hu people they were, the hatred between the two sides had lasted for eighteen hundred years, and then Xun Chen The best way is to completely oppose this contradiction and let Yuan Shaojun integrate into Bingzhou as a hero of the north.
Although the method is a bit bloody, the effect is indeed very good. At least now the people of Bingzhou have accepted Yuan Shao's rule. Although there are occasional rebellions, the laws established by Xun Chen exempt rebels. Rebels only need to go to the north. Hunting barbarians, protecting the frontier, and being exempted from crime if recognized by the people in the frontier, it is a very loose management method.
As for the development of agriculture, Xun Chen has given up on it. After all, agriculture does not have enough seeds and agricultural tools, and without scientific planting methods, there will be no results in a short period of time.
At that time, Xun Chen and Tian Fengyi, who were the planners of the plan to conquer Bingzhou, together found that Bingzhou was a place where grain was grown, and there was killing, burning, looting, and quick results. There were at least five to six million Hu people to the north of Bingzhou. They were training troops and looting at the same time. Gongsun Zan was all If they can snatch a white-horse Yi Cong, they, Yuan Shaojun, can also raise a Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. It is said that the cavalry is really a good thing.
As for cavalry training, Xun Chen and Tian Feng did not hesitate to choose to antagonize the contradiction between the Hu people and the Han people. Who has so much time to train cavalry? It is exactly what Cao Cao thought. If Liu Bei has horses, he will cavalry? Are you kidding? Most of Liu Bei's cavalry can only be said to be mounted infantry. How many of the generals' troops actually fight on horseback?
In short, Xun Chen and Tian Feng relied on the confrontation between Bingzhou and the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei to make Yuan Shaojun a hero on the frontier, and then a large number of good men from Bingzhou who could ride horses joined Yuan Shaojun.
The rest is not a matter between Xun Chen and Tian Feng. Killing, burning, and looting can be said to be the professional skills of many generals. Regardless of the color of the horses, they can rob horses everywhere. It doesn't take much time to save one or two cavalry regiments.
What I mean by saying all this is that Yuan Shao of Bingzhou spent a lot of effort to win over the people. As for Youzhou, the story of Bai Mayi beating the barbarians from Gongsun Zan is still being circulated. It will not be easy.
Because of this, Yuan Shao was very unhappy with Liu Bei's ease in pacifying Qingzhou.
"Mr. Yu, what's going on with Yuan Hao and You Ruo? We dealt with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans earlier than Liu Xuande dealt with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Now Liu Xuande has won over the people of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Is there any good progress on our side?" Yuan Shao asked Jushu very dissatisfiedly. Yuan Shao was too lazy to care about the previous issue of one hundred thousand shi of food being wasted.
"Well, the Black Mountain Army has not made much progress." Jushou said with a bitter smile. He just informed Yuan Shao about the Black Mountain Yellow Turban yesterday. At that time, Yuan Shao told him to take his time and not leave any hidden dangers. But now it seems It was like he was offended by Liu Bei and wanted to compete with him.
"Huh..." Yuan Shao let out a long breath, "I'm a little impatient. You can't rush things like war. Once you start to be anxious, you will make mistakes. Liu Xuande has gathered Qingzhou, and I still want to hold him back. Are we just going to watch him develop now?"
"My lord is wise." Jushou bowed to Yuan Shao, "I have here a secret letter from Li Wenru, a close minister of Liu Xuande."
"Yingming? Huh!" Yuan Shao snorted dissatisfied, and then said to Jushou, "Li Wenru? Why haven't I heard of this person? His secret letter, what does he want to do?" Intuition told Yuan Shao that this might be a person good chance.
Jushou glanced at Xu You, who was in charge of information on Yuan Shao's side. Xu You stood up and recounted all the information he had specially collected during this period, which made Yuan Shao smile.
"Ziyuan, you, you, why didn't you tell me this good news earlier?" Yuan Shao pointed at Xu You and cursed with a smile. We played together when we were young, so we don't have to worry too much about the courtesy of monarchs and ministers.
"After the Lord returned from Mount Tai, he was always worried that there was a fraud, so he ordered me to investigate in many ways, so he never dared to disturb the Lord. However, after half a year of verification, I have confirmed that Li Wenru can be used." Xu You said with a smile.
Jushou's caution made Xu You a little helpless. In fact, Xu You thought there was no problem three months ago, but Jushou asked him to continue to observe. For the sake of caution, he studied carefully for another three months, and finally determined that Li You could As a pawn in Jizhou's attempt to corrupt Liu Bei.
"How can you be careless in such a big matter? If there is fraud, the loss will be difficult to calculate." Jushou still maintained his cautious attitude, but Li You is also a ruthless person, and he pretended to be flawless. Is he worthy of being in charge of household registration? Nine out of ten spies in Jizhou are known to Li You, and even if the remaining one is not sure, he is still in the game. (To be continued.)
