"If that's the case, then don't bother yourself!"
"Come here, drag this old thief down, behead him, and hang him outside the city for public display."
Chen Rong shouted loudly that the laws of nature were unfair and that the state and animal husbandry were unfair.
After hearing the order, the guards outside the door quickly dragged him down and beheaded him.
With a cold face, Liu Hong called for the Jin Yiwei.
"Go and find out who is behind this matter."
Since Chen Rong dares to come here, there must be more than one noble family backing him.
He cleaned up the Yanzhou nobles, and these nobles who took refuge with him probably all thought that it was time to carve up the Yanzhou cake, so they all took advantage of their kindness to repay their favor.
However, these nobles did not see one thing clearly, that is, Liu Hong did not rely on the strength of the nobles to make his fortune.
But these nobles relied on him to stand up, and they didn't even understand the order of master and servant.
It's unclear where these nobles came from. They thought they could bargain with him and tried to interfere with his decision-making.
If you drink alcohol and eat a peanut, you won't have this illusion.
He has never bowed his head to the nobles.
It didn't happen before, and it's even less possible now.
Liu Hong's eyes were cold and he spoke slowly.
"Kill all the nobles involved in this matter!"
He doesn't mind letting these nobles understand that the things he gives in Yanzhou belong to the nobles.
The nobles couldn't take what he didn't give, and they couldn't even think about it.
To him, a nobleman was like a dog. When he needed the dog to guard the door, he gave the dog a few bones.
However, what if the watchdog suddenly feels that this home cannot survive without it? Not only does it want to eat meat, but it also dares to grin at its owner.
Then, there is no need for this dog to exist!
On the red land outside the city, the blood shed by the previous massacre of the Yanzhou nobles has not yet dried up!
the other side.
The heads of several major gentry families are discussing Liu Hong's establishment of a Meng College.
"This move will do no harm to us. We must let Duke Mingde take back his life!"
"I heard that Chen Rong, the elder of the Chen family, met with Mr. Ming De. I don't know what happened."
"Will Mingde Guild listen to our advice?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
One of the gentry family heads who first took refuge in Liu Hong said confidently.
"We initially followed Liu Hong, but now most of the Yanzhou nobles have been uprooted, leaving only us."
"If he wants to govern Yanzhou, he can't avoid the nobles like us."
"Furthermore, what we are doing by taking refuge with him is nothing more than fame and fortune."
"I'm sorry that he won't take action against us and other nobles just for some stupid guy. Otherwise, who would dare to take refuge in this guy!"
Some are happy and some are sad.
Some nobles were worried.
After all, Liu Hong's ruthless methods to clean up the Yanzhou nobles didn't seem like he dared to take action against them.
Liu Hong is not an ordinary person. If you treat Liu Hong with common sense, you will definitely suffer a big loss!
Several nobles who knew Liu Hong well immediately left in a hurry, unwilling to participate in this matter.
Seeing this, the other noble families even laughed at him.
"You are so cowardly that you deserve to be in decline today."
The head of a noble family joked.
"that is!"
Everyone agreed, and then discussed how to divide the big cake of Yanzhou.
After all, after this battle in Yanzhou, the official posts in the major counties and counties in Yanzhou were empty.
It's a great time for these noble clans to expand and rise.
As long as Liu Hong gives in this time, they will be even more aggressive in the future, asking Liu Hong to give up more official positions, and even ask for a few county guards.
In essence, they are no different from the previous batch of nobles, it's just that everyone's sides are different.
The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, that's all.
Just when a group of noble family heads were dreaming about how to control Yanzhou, keep slaves, seize land, and expand their families.
"boom!"
The door was suddenly kicked open.
The royal guards, all dressed in Feiyu uniforms, filed in.
Seeing this, all the noble families panicked and reported their names and official positions one after another.
"Are you blind?"
"Didn't you see me waiting to drink?"
"Aren't you afraid that Mr. Zhou Mu will blame you for breaking into the mansion without permission?"
Several heads of noble clans with higher official positions immediately set up their music scores and angrily scolded the royal guards.
Among the Jinyi Guards, the leader remained calm despite being scolded by the heads of the noble clans.
"Those who participate in the Meng Academy incident under the orders of the state pastor will be imprisoned. Those who disobey the orders will be punished by the clan!"
Under Liu Hong's brutal killing, the heads of the Yanzhou nobles were rolling. Some of the nobles who had withdrawn early suddenly became honest and obedient when they saw this battle.
Promotion of the college has also become smoother.
Changyi County, in the Prefecture Mufu.
Liu Hong looked at the letter sent back by Huang Zhong in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
Pei Yuanshao, Huang Zhong and others have cleaned up the remaining Yellow Turban Army in Jinan County, Qingzhou and brought them under their command.
The able-bodied men joined the army, while the old, young, women and children were settled in Pingyuan County and Jinan County.
Now in Qingzhou, he already occupies two counties.
Liu Hong wrote a letter to Huang Zhong, asking him to first develop people's livelihood and resume farming, and everything should be transformed according to the reference template in Yanzhou.
As for continuing to attack other counties, Liu Hong is not in a hurry.
Although Cao Cao's 10,000 elite troops were defeated in this wave, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qingzhou.
If the opponent unites with the nobles, they can recruit 100,000 soldiers and horses at any time.
After all, these days, apart from Yanzhou, there is no other country that is so wealthy.
The people in other prefectures and counties live with their belts tightened and only care about food, and there are many who want to be soldiers.
Moreover, there are too many Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou, Pei Yuanshao is only one of them, but there are still hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants that have not been cleared away.
It was not easy for Cao Cao to recruit some troops.
Although Qingzhou can be captured with a strong attack, it will be easier to defend the city than to attack it, and the corresponding losses will be heavy.
Unless Cao Cao had the courage to go out of the city to fight with him, he could easily destroy Cao Cao's little family fortune.
However, Cao Cao was famous for his ability to bend and stretch. He had previously served under Dong Zhuo and later launched an army to attack Dong. He would definitely not be guilty of this.
Liu Hong spread out the map on the table.
After observing for a long time, I focused on Le'an County.
"The next step is to take down Le'an County and use it as a stronghold to gradually encroach on the surrounding areas!"
Since it cannot be taken by force, then take it wisely.
With Jin Yiwei infiltrating it, if Cao Cao wants to station troops and defend the city, he will definitely mobilize a large amount of food and grass, and then he will only need to burn the food and grass.
Cut off food and water sources, and contain them from the front and rear.
Le'an County is an isolated city. When the ammunition and food are exhausted, it will be easy to obtain it!
"Someone is coming."
Liu Hong called out softly.
Cheng Yu walked in immediately.
"grown ups."
Liu Hong did not raise his head and pointed to Jinan County, Pingyuan County, and Le'an County on the map.
"Zhongde, pass on my order and order Li Guang to garrison Jinan County, Huang Zhong to garrison Pingyuan County, and send Jinyi guards to infiltrate Le'an County. Wait for my order and wait for the opportunity."
"Yes, sir!"
"The college has officially opened a few days ago. Adults can go and see how the teaching is going."
After Cheng Yu accepted the order, he suddenly said.
"I know."
Liu Hong nodded, turned and left the mansion.
When Cheng Yu said this, he remembered that the college hadn't gone on a tour yet, so he didn't know how the college's teaching was progressing.
Are those nobles who are derogatorily called teachers dedicated to teaching?
Passing by the medical school, I saw a group of doctors discussing incessantly.
"Have you heard that a Taoist religion is spreading in the county recently, worshiping an immortal named Yu Ji?"
"It is said that this man can save people with talisman water. He is very miraculous. One of my cousins suffered from hysteria, so he asked him for talisman water, and it was effective as soon as he took it!"
"What's the difference between this person and the original Taiping Taoism? It's just some weird and obscene tricks."
"It's absolutely ridiculous!"
Liu Hong leaned closer to listen and frowned.
Yu Ji?
Isn't this the Taoist who visited Zhang Jiao in the Taoist temple?
Fu Shui saves people because he wants to imitate Zhang Jiao and pretend to be gods and ghosts in his base to confuse people's hearts!
Liu Hong suddenly felt cold in his heart.
Everyone did not offend the river, so he turned a blind eye.
Since this guy dares to come to you, don't blame him for being unkind.
Regardless of whether Yu Ji has treasonous intentions or not, there can only be one voice in Yanzhou, and that is him!
This Yu Ji claims to be an immortal, confuses the people of Yanzhou, and has a right way to die!
