People who want to run away really don't have the strategic determination. Faced with the almost shameless price reduction by buyers, they can no longer hold on.
In the end, he had no choice but to sell the family property of several generations at almost a low price to raise some capital for a comeback, and then tragically dragged his family and family to Jiangnan, where life and death were unknown and the future was uncertain.
There are such people, but not many, because the land south of the Yangtze River is a barbaric land in the eyes of the Central Plains people. In the past, life and death were uncertain, and they had to give up their family property. How could it be unreasonable?
Some people calculated an account, and then took their property to find the relevant ancient literary school families and their related people, hoping that they could provide them with protection.
In exchange, these people are willing to donate a considerable amount of property to the family that provides protection, and they will continue to donate some property in the next five or ten years, as long as their safety can be guaranteed.
Some people gave more, and some ancient literature school families were also very greedy, so they accepted such conditions and were willing to provide shelter to the local wealthy families who made bids to protect their properties from being investigated by the local government.
Some people were reluctant to bid and could not afford the high prices of those ancient literature school families, but they were unwilling to leave their hometown and were afraid of Liu Bei's force. After much deliberation, they had no choice but to decide to accept Liu Bei's request.
They decided to give up most of their slaves, significantly increase the family's operating costs, and significantly reduce the living standards of family members in exchange for the family's survival and future.
These are people who are more open-minded. They know that they can't defeat Liu Bei, so in order to survive and for tomorrow, just admit it.
There are still some people who cannot be ignored at all. They have united in private and are preparing to fight Liu Bei to death.
If you don't want us to live, then even if you are a man-eating tiger, we will break off some of your teeth!
It can only be said that no matter where, when, or under what circumstances, there are always strong-minded people, so force is an indispensable means of getting things done.
Different families in different places have different coping strategies and attitudes. Generally speaking, areas with stronger Liu Bei's control have more collaborators, such as Runan County, while areas with weaker Liu Bei's control have more rebels. For example, Guangling County.
There were really many resisters in Guangling County, and the commotion was fierce. Thousands of resisting armed forces appeared in Tangyi County, Yuguo County and Jiangdu County.
In order to implement Liu Bei's slave restriction order, Dong Zhuo, who had just finished fighting the Yellow Turban Army and was thinking about how to return to Luoyang, could only go into battle with his sword and once again led his men to Guangling County to quell the resistance of the local powerful. military.
Speaking of Dong Zhuo, it was really a hard life.
Back then, in exchange for being an official in Luoyang, he chose to leave Bingzhou and go to Xuzhou. He thought it was a good job. With his ability, going to Xuzhou would definitely be a killing spree, just like a fish fry.
As a result, when he arrived in Xuzhou, he discovered that Liu Yan was not as useless as he thought, and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban was not an opponent that could be eliminated by killing them randomly. If he was not careful, he might be the one who was killed by the killings.
Needless to say, Xuzhou Yellow Turban has been operating in many places in Xuzhou for several years, and its development is really good. It even has private business relationships with some local wealthy families, and even has private relationships with some wealthy families. tacit connection.
The officers and soldiers go to attack them. If the number of officers and soldiers is large, they will retreat in advance. If the number of officers and soldiers is small, they will stand ready to take advantage of the officers and soldiers.
Xu He, Sima Ju and other Yellow Turban Army leaders also made great progress in the long-term struggle, and gradually understood some principles of commanding their subordinates and commanding operations.
Even the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army has become more and more capable and capable due to long-term migration, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to the local regular army of the Han Empire.
Dong Zhuo only brought 5,000 elite troops, and the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 Xuzhou local soldiers and horses had no advantage in terms of combat power against the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans, and even had no advantage in terms of logistics and intelligence.
When he first came to Xuzhou, Dong Zhuo sent Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si and other subordinates with a small number of old subordinates from Bingzhou and Liangzhou and a group of Xuzhou soldiers to test the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans. As a result, the three men lost all three battles, lost their troops and generals, and fled in embarrassment. Dong Zhuo was shocked.
By this time, Dong Zhuo had put away his contempt and realized that the plan to return to Luoyang was not easy at all. It was not easy for the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans to survive for so long. He had a lot of preparations to destroy them. There is work to be done.
Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo is quite capable.
The Xuzhou Yellow Turbans survived a long struggle, but Dong Zhuo was also the king of survival who survived decades of struggle. Without the ability to lead troops in battle, it would be difficult to survive on the northern border.
Although he is no longer the governor of the state, but a pure governor of the state, Dong Zhuo is a former general of the imperial court. This time he led the troops in the battle as a former general. The governor of Xuzhou only has an auxiliary status, but he still uses the power of this auxiliary status To the extreme.
He found some famous wealthy and wealthy families from various counties in Xuzhou, held a meeting and drank with them, and discussed the local situation in Xuzhou with them.
He made it clear that General Liu Bei sent him here to completely solve the problem of the Yellow Turban Army. He knew that the Yellow Turban Army was about to take root in Xuzhou and had subtle connections with many local people. What he wanted to tell everyone was , this is a very dangerous thing.
"The general asked Zhuo to come and pacify the place. He was cruel. Xuzhou cannot continue to be in chaos. All the remnants of the Yellow Turbans must be pacified. This is the general's established strategy, and you may not know it. This time, the general wants to It was Zhuo Shangbiao who requested to go on the expedition in person on behalf of the general.
You were dissatisfied with Liu Yan's incompetence and asked the general to replace Liu Yan. The general agreed and replaced Liu Yan. You also planned to go out personally to quell the disaster for Xuzhou. However, Zhuo believed that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were a trivial matter and did not require a general. Go out in person.
However, the few battles that had just occurred made Zhuo realize that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were about to take root in Xuzhou. There were even people who secretly communicated with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and leaked information about the actions of the government and army, causing the officers and soldiers to suffer great losses.
Zhuo is not a combative person and does not like to do things that make you unhappy, but what Zhuo must say is that if Zhuo is defeated and punished by the general, then the next person who comes to Xuzhou will be the general himself.
You should also know who the General himself is. No one can be the opponent of the General, not even the barbarians in the north. The General has fought in his whole life and has never been defeated. No matter how good the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are in fighting, they are not the General's. opponent.
Moreover, when the general comes, he will definitely know who the remnants of the Yellow Turbans are joining forces with and who they are cooperating with. If the general finds out, he will definitely ruthlessly eradicate all these collaborators and annihilate the three tribes. This is not the first time such a thing has happened. "
At the banquet, Dong Zhuo spoke very clearly. Although his tone was not strong, the meaning was in place.
"With the general's character of jealousy, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans will surely be wiped out, and none of the collaborators will be able to escape. By then, everything will be too late. Zhuo believes that you are all rational people, and the petty profits in front of you will No one will make a mistake on how to choose whether it is the survival of the family or not.
How much wealth is there in the world? No matter how much you pursue or how much you earn, you can never make it all. But there is only one life. It is very precious and fragile. If you don’t have it, it will be gone. If your life is gone, no matter how much wealth you have, what’s the point? "
