Fishing in Zhangxi failed, so the Air Force failed.
After waiting for ten days in Hanfeng County, Zhang Xi did not receive any response.
Yan Yan, who was in Chengdu, seemed to have no idea about this incident and had no reaction at all.
When the Yan family in Ba County learned about this, they sent people to Badong County to visit Zhang Xi with gifts.
I really didn't come here to beg for mercy, but to clear up the relationship.
The Yan family of Bajun sent the younger brother of the head of the family, who first became friends with Zhang Xi, starting from the relationship between Yan Yan and Zhang Fei. Finally, a thirty-year-old man insisted on calling Zhang Xi "Elder Brother Yuan".
Later, the younger brother of the head of the Yan family told Zhang Xi very seriously that the head of the family was completely unaware of what Magistrate Yan had done. He even became furious after hearing about his actions, thinking that such a person had already He violated the Yan family's tradition of "keeping the family clean and honest", so he was expelled from the Yan family and was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall after his death.
I have to say that this punishment is severe enough.
In a simple sentence - this person is not from our Yan family, you can kill or scrape him as you please!
This attitude was indeed beyond Zhang Xi's expectations.
The problem of powerful aristocratic families has been associated with almost the entire ancient Chinese history, especially from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. The power of aristocratic families was so great that it could even depose the emperor from the side.
This Yan family is a local powerhouse. Judging from Yan Yan's ability to persuade most of the officials in Ba County to surrender, at least in Badong and Baxi counties, their power is definitely not small.
Now Zhang Xi wants to kill members of the Yan family. Why is this Yan family so cowardly? !
This doesn't seem like the attitude a top aristocratic family should have.
Zhang Xi didn't understand what was going on here, but he really didn't have time.
It only took a month to launch the corvee. Zhang Xi inspected various counties, but was delayed for about ten days in Hanfeng County. He could no longer stay in Hanfeng County.
Therefore, since everyone from the Yan family had come to clear up the matter regarding Magistrate Yan, Zhang Xi did not continue to investigate further and regarded it as a personal matter.
As for the local tycoon who even gave in to the Yan family, who will come to fish for him? !
Zhang Xi may wonder why the Yan family is so cowardly, but Zhang Xi will not be polite to that local tycoon.
All the family property was confiscated, the land was returned to the government, and all the embezzled grain and grass were recovered. The head of the family, like Magistrate Yan, waited for the new Hanfeng County Magistrate to take office, and the rest of the family members were all Mexican-born officials.
Sorry, the laws of this era are like this. There is no law that only holds one person accountable.
Moreover, when these aristocratic families colluded with the government to resell grain, the beneficiary was not just the head of the family, but the whole family. Once the matter failed, there was nothing sympathetic about punishing the whole family.
Zhang Xi can limit the scope of beheading to just the head of the family, which is considered very merciful.
After handling the incident in Hanfeng County, Zhang Xi continued his journey to Yangqu County.
Probably because Zhang Xi made a big fuss in Hanfeng County and hadn't arrived in Yangqu County yet, the magistrate of Yangqu County came out of the city early to greet him with his subordinates, and accompanied Zhang Xi throughout the entire process to inspect the corvee mobilization work in Yangqu County.
Yangqu County and Hanfeng County are not far apart, and the property confiscated from that family's home far exceeds the amount hoarded in Hanfeng County alone.
Zhang Xi did not believe that Yangqu County had no involvement.
But for now, I still say that. Zhang Xi doesn't want to fall out with these powerful local families right away. At least, Zhang Xi won't do that until the Chidao and pavilions are built.
Although Bajun is now divided into two counties, Badong and Brazil, these aristocratic families have broken bones and connected tendons. In essence, the entire Bajun is still those aristocratic families.
Therefore, once Zhang Xi goes too far in Badong County, Brazil County will also become unstable.
Although there are two generals, Zhang Xi and Zhang Fei, who are in charge, there is no need to worry about Ba Jun actually rebelling, but if possible, Zhang Xi does not want to cause a war. After all, it is the people who suffer.
Therefore, in Yangqu County
Under the leadership of Ling, Zhang Xi visited the relatively full granary reserves, and after launching corvees in accordance with Zhang Xi's regulations and providing the people with food for fifteen days, Zhang Xi left Yangqu County with satisfaction.
But before leaving, Zhang Xi said to the Yangqu County Magistrate, "I will ask people to randomly check the granary at any time. How much is there today? Not even a grain of grain is missing. If there is any more deception or oppression of the people, I will definitely do it." A human head is on your neck."
With just one sentence, Magistrate Yangqu's back was sweating.
Indeed, the grain in the granary today was borrowed by the Yangqu County magistrate from a powerful local family, intending to hide it from Zhang Xi's inspection and return it later.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Xi was really hard to fool.
And Zhang Xi's meaning is very clear.
Zhang Xi knew that the Yangqu County Magistrate was fooling him, but this time Zhang Xi saw through it but did not point it out. He just gave the Yangqu County Magistrate a chance to find a way to make up for the shortfall.
When Zhang Xi comes to inspect next time, if the Yangqu County Magistrate has not made up for these shortfalls, then don't blame Zhang Xi for not giving you a chance.
As for the methods Yangqu County Magistrate uses to make up for the shortfall, Zhang Xi will not care.
But there is only one thing. Zhang Xi specifically emphasized that the people cannot be bullied.
If the Yangqu County Magistrate dares to attack the people, there is no need to wait for the next time. Zhang Xi can take the head of the Yangqu County Magistrate at any time.
The magistrate of Yangqu County suddenly had a grimace on his face, promised and bowed again, and finally sent Zhang Xi away.
After sending Zhang Xi away, the Yangqu County Magistrate became gloomy and began to think of a solution.
To make up for the shortfall, you can't bully the people. Isn't this obvious? Zhang Xi just forced himself to have a showdown with the local aristocratic family and take advantage of the powerful aristocratic family.
Of course, the Yangqu County Magistrate did not want to offend the local aristocratic family, but the current situation was that compared to his own life, the local aristocratic family was nothing.
It’s not that the Yangqu County Magistrate has no backing, his brother-in-law is named Huang.
Huang Quan’s Huang.
The magistrate of Yangqu County was thinking about how to create a small aristocratic family to make up for the shortfall, while Zhang Xi, after inspecting the three counties, was planning to take a boat down the river to inspect Wu County.
But when passing by Yufu, someone sent by Chen Dao stopped him.
The Lord has a military order.
Zhang Xi heard this and immediately went ashore to receive the order. After reading the military order, Zhang Xi suddenly looked unhappy.
Liu Bei asked Zhang Xi to prepare food and grass on the spot to supply the needs of the army.
Zhang Xi is not worried about the issue of food and grass.
Yufu himself has enough food stored, and Chen Dao has been guarding here, but no one dares to resell the food under Chen Dao's nose.
In addition, Zhang Xi copied a batch of grain from Hanfeng County and some grain stocks from the other three counties, which could meet the grain requirements of Liu Bei's military order.
However, Zhang Xi didn't understand why Liu Bei suddenly led his army to recover at this time.
Zhang Xi thought about it over and over again and concluded that the only thing that could be done was the demarcation of the Xiangshui River.
Because of Zhang Xi's intrusion, Liu Bei conquered Chengdu half a year earlier than originally planned. But the gangsters in Jiangdong don't care about your timeline.
Since you, Liu Bei, have captured Yizhou, shouldn't you give me Changsha and Guiyang counties in accordance with the covenant we made earlier? !
Obviously, Jiangdong must have sent Zhuge Jin to Chengdu to ask for the land in Jingnan again, as he did in history.
As for our lord, well, there is a high probability that he will wait until he takes Liangzhou before giving it to him.
Then Sun Shiwan lost his temper and felt that Liu Bei was deceiving him.
Okay, if you don’t give it, I will send troops to get it myself.
Sun Shiwan therefore attacked the four counties of Jingnan and captured three counties at once.
And Liu Bei would definitely not agree. He immediately ordered Guan Yu to send troops from Jiangling to garrison the public security, and Liu Bei personally proposed that the army go south to confront Sun Quan.
This is the origin of the demarcation of the Xiangshui River.
If the route recorded in history is followed, at this time Liu Bei would be anxious to go north to compete with Cao Cao for Hanzhong because of Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong, so he would compromise with Sun Quan.
But the current timeline is simply wrong.
According to the original timeline, Xia Houyuan should still be cleaning up the mess after Ma Chao's defeat in Longyou, and is temporarily unable to attack Hanzhong. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Cao should have led his army south to Huainan to prepare for the second Battle of Ruxu. .
Why did Sun Shiwan still have the time to attack the four counties in Jingnan at this time? !
Is it because Cao Cao is too old to hold a sword, or is it because Sun Shiwan is too old and thinks he can fight on two fronts? !
The current situation is really beyond Zhang Xi's expectation.
There is not much information currently known, and Zhang Xi has no way to make a judgment. He can only temporarily allocate food and grass according to military orders, and then wait for Liu Bei's arrival.
About ten days later, Liu Bei led his army to Yufu and brought the latest intelligence.
Indeed, as Zhang Xi expected, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to ask for Jingzhou, but Liu Bei was careless and said that he would give it back to Liangzhou after taking it.
Then Sun Quan sent troops to the four counties of Jingnan without saying a word.
Liu Bei immediately became furious and believed that Sun Quan had betrayed his trust. Naturally, he would not accept Sun Quan's capture of Jingnan, so just like in history, he ordered Guan Yu to lead an army to garrison the public security, and joined forces with Wenpin to threaten Baqiu, and personally mentioned it. Thirty thousand troops came from Shu to help.
It's just that at this time, the situation in Jiangdong is much more embarrassing than in history.
Originally, in history, Jiangdong quickly captured the southern part of Changsha and the entire county of Guiyang with almost no effort, and forced the surrender of Lingling County before Guan Yu stationed troops at the Public Security Bureau.
But now, Xiang Lang, the prefect of Guiyang, was indeed caught off guard and was beaten by Jiangdong's army and had to lead the remaining soldiers to withdraw from Guiyang County. However, the prefect of Changsha County was not Liao Li, who could only run away, but Pan Jun.
Pan Jun was also caught off guard by Jiangdong's army's sneak attack, but he still gathered the remaining soldiers in time and defended Xiangtan, saving the last piece of land in Changsha.
Later, Xiang Lang also led the remaining soldiers to join Pan Jun and jointly guard the line from Xiangshui to Xiangtan.
At this time, Xu Shu, who was in charge of the defense of the four counties in Jingnan, also responded in time.
He immediately ordered Hao Pu, the governor of Lingling, to lead troops to quickly support Xiangtan. He quickly notified Guan Yu of Jiangling and Liu Bei of Yizhou, and then led the troops from Wuling County to Xiangtan to direct the battle.
The commander in charge of the Jiangdong Army's offensive and sneak attack on Jingnan was Lu Meng, while the commander in Baqiu who threatened the public security with naval forces at any time was Zhou Yu.
The current situation has become like this.
Xu Shu led troops from three counties to confront Lu Meng's army in Xiangtan. Guan Yu unified Jiangling, and the land and sea soldiers from public and security areas confronted the navy led by Zhou Yu along the Yangtze River.
The heroes of both sides, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, one led an army of 30,000 from Shu, and the other led an army of 40,000 from Jiankang, were both on their way to Jingnan to support them.
The war in Jingnan is about to break out.
