Great Military Division

Chapter 405 Zhang Yan is stunned to submit to Nanyang?

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!"

"In this way, didn't Duke Yuan single-handedly facilitate the discussion of Dong?"

"The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have been loyal and good for generations. How could they do such a thing?"

"But this is Yuan Di's confession. Could it be that Yuan Di will still wrong Yuan Gong?"

"My God! How could it be like this?"

"Duke Yuan summoned Dong Zhuo and wanted to destroy him?"

"It's all incredible!"

"."

After circulating the testimonies of Zhang Chao and Zang Hong, the civil and military affairs in the entire Wende Palace have completely boiled over.

Judging from the reactions of civil and military officials, even if the ironclad evidence was presented to them, they still looked unbelievable.

no way!
The Four Generations and Three Dukes lasted nearly a hundred years.

The image of loyal and good ministers created by the Yuan family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is exactly the same as the concept of Han Dynasty orthodoxy in the hearts of ordinary people.

It is not so easy to destroy it, and it can only be done by relying on hard evidence and time to wear it down gradually. It is precisely because of this that Liu Bian did not attack Yuan Wei for a long time.

Once there is a loophole in the evidence chain, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss, and even be charged with deliberately framing a loyal courtier, which is a bit outweighed by the gain.

But this time.
The evidence is solid and cannot be denied.

Liu Bian waved his hand, signaling the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to calm down, and said softly: "Feng Xiao, bring Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, and Yuan Di here, and let them talk about the situation in front of all civil and military officials."

"what?"

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

They really couldn't believe that His Majesty not only had a confession, but even an absolute witness, who could be summoned into the palace hall to confront him in court.

No wonder His Majesty the Emperor dared to announce this matter in court. It was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor had already decided to kill the Yuan family, and he must kill this big tiger thoroughly.

Guo Jia nodded and nodded: "Here, bring Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, and Yuan Di to the hall."

"Bring Zhang Chao, Zang Hong, and Yuan Di to the palace!"

"Bring Zhang Chao"

"."

Waves of sound spread out.

Soon.

The three of them were brought into the court hall.

Lu Zhi stared at Yuan Di in disbelief, frowned and said, "Master Fu, is it really you? Tell me, is this a conspiracy by Princess Yuan?"

Back then, Lu Zhi was just a minister. Although he had relatively great power, he was always inferior to San Gong in terms of official position. Therefore, he has always respected Yuan Kai as Yuan Gong, and it has not changed until now.

of course!

This is not only a respect for his position, but also a respect for his character.

But who would have imagined that such a thing would happen now, that Yuan Kai, whom he respected, would become an unfaithful and unrighteous courtier who wanted to overthrow the imperial power, which is simply unreasonable.

When Lu Zhi asked, all the civil servants and military generals in the hall, even Taiwei Yang Biao, also focused their eyes on Yuan Di. After all, he was Yuan Kai's official, and he was also Yuan's family.

Compared with Zang Hong and Zhang Chao, Yuan Di's testimony is the most crucial. If he admits the authenticity of this matter, then Yuan Kai's charges have been confirmed.

This is the great crime of the Yi tribe!

Moreover, the people involved are not only the Yuan family in Runan, but also the Yuan family in Guangling, and even the Yuan families in other places, as well as the powerful families related to the Yuan family.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Di's words determined the lives of hundreds of people in the future. Pulling out the carrots and bringing out the mud is simply a disaster.

However.
Yuan Di pondered for a long time, and finally nodded with certainty: "That's right, starting from summoning the powerful generals from all directions to the capital, to delaying the entry of other princes to the capital, and finally calling for Dong, it's all a conspiracy by Yuan Gong."

"I have participated in the entire process. I have explained every detail to the school administration, and I have also given a confession. There is absolutely no lie, otherwise there will be a thunderbolt!"

hiss-!
All the civil and military officials in the hall were astonished, and Qiqi gasped.

Who would have thought that Yuan Di would actually swear.

You know, the ancients took the oath the most, thinking it was a contract between man and the gods. You can deceive people, but you can never deceive the gods. Once you make a false oath, the oath will definitely come true.

"it is true!"

"It turned out to be true?"

Lu Zhi's eyes widened with disbelief.

At this moment, he was completely stunned in place like five thunderbolts.

The Sangong whom I respected before was actually a courtier who conspired to overthrow the big man. This bitch is simply too shocking.

"how can that be?"

Even Yang Biao himself couldn't believe Yuan Di's words.

His throat rolled, and he swallowed forcefully, trying to keep himself calm.

You know, Yuan Kai and his father Yang Ci are from the same period, and he can only be a junior in front of Yuan Wei.

A person who took the position of the three princes and took turns taking turns, and a person who has received the favor of the emperor for generations, actually wants to overthrow the dynasty?

If he hadn't heard the news with his own ears, Yang Biao would never have believed it.

but now
Everything finally became a foregone conclusion.

Facing the shock of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Guo Jia immediately said: "I think you should understand now why Yuan Kai didn't send people to Nanyang to merge the northern and southern Han courts after he killed Dong Zhuo?"

"Because, from the very beginning, he wanted to dominate Chao Gang and eventually replaced him. If His Majesty hadn't been there, perhaps King Chen Liu in Chang'an had already suffered from Yuan Wei's poisonous hands."

"It's Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Guo Jiachao cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "I saw through Yuan Kai's plot early, and when he consolidated the forces in Guanzhong, he quickly entered Hedong, cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Jizhou, and avoided the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Han."

"If it weren't for His Majesty's brilliance and martial arts, I'm afraid what we have to face now is a terrifying force across Bingzhou, Sili, Liangzhou, and Jizhou."

In the next second, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty clasped their hands together, and Shan shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Bian waved his hands to signal the officials to be quiet, and said loudly, "Get up."

Only then did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty get up, guilt was written all over their faces.

Liu Bian didn't really care too much, and went straight to the point: "Now that the truth has come to light, I will go on a personal expedition, mobilize all the troops, lay siege to Guanzhong, and strive to eliminate Yuan Kai before the end of the year."

"Wen Ruo." Liu Bian turned his head to look down at Guo Jia.

"The minister is here." Guo Jia bowed.

"Is the call to action ready?"

"Ready."

Guo Jia nodded affirmatively, and immediately took out the proclamation and handed it in: "This is the proclamation written by the minister, and I hope His Majesty will read it over. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct me."

"No need."

Liu Bian waved his hand, and said sonorously: "I believe in Feng Xiao's literary talents, so let's send it out like this. I want to announce the crimes of the Yuan family to the public, so that the nobles all over the world know the crimes of the Yuan family."

Guo Jia bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter has been described in detail in the proclamation, and scholars all over the world will naturally recognize the hypocrisy and loyalty of the Yuan family."

"very good!"

Liu Bian nodded, then turned to look at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, are the soldiers, horses, money and food ready?"

Xun Yu took a step forward and bowed deeply: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are ready to attack at any time."

Liu Bian was overjoyed and said loudly: "Since this is the case, five days will be an auspicious day. Immediately send a letter to Xun You, Liu Bei, Zhang Liao Feige, telling them to launch an attack according to the original plan!"

Xun Yu bowed his body and cupped his hands, "Here."

******
Somewhere in the Taihang Mountains.

Zhang Yan's camp.

Parliament.

Dong Zhao stared at the strong man above him. The man's eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like stars, his face was sharp and angular, like knives and axes, he was not angry and arrogant, giving people a sense of awe-inspiring righteousness .

"You are the envoy of Nanyang Hanting?"

Zhang Yan looked Dong Zhao up and down, with a faint doubt in his brows, as if he couldn't believe the authenticity of the person in front of him, but he was looking forward to the other party's answer.

"Yes."

Dong Zhao gave an affirmative answer: "I am the envoy of His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor. I came here to visit Qu Shuai, discuss the matter of recruiting security, and give my brothers a home."

"This is your official seal."

Immediately.

As before, Dong Zhao took out the official seal and handed it to the people beside him: "If Commander Qu doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Heluo to check. Is the former magistrate of Nanmianchi County Dong?"

"Qu handsome."

Zuo Miaozhangba hurriedly reminded: "I have already sent people to investigate this matter. The people of Mianchi County were moved to the south by Zhong Yao, and a new Mianchi was formed, which is called Nanmianchi."

"This is the first county magistrate. There is nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, this person must be the emissary of Hanting in Nanyang. It is absolutely true."

The corners of Dong Zhao's lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared: "Unexpectedly, Brother Zhangba looks rough and bold, but his heart is so delicate, and he has already investigated my identity."

"Feel sorry."

Zuo Miao Zhangba hastily bowed his hand to return the salute: "After all, it involves Qu Shuai's safety, I have to be careful, but fortunately, your Excellency did not lie, otherwise, without Qu Shuai's action, this general will kill you."

Dong Zhao smiled lightly, nodded and nodded, "It's very good, so I don't have to prove my identity."

Although Zuo Miaozhangba is also a member of the Black Mountain Army, he is managed independently and only accepts Zhang Yan's dispatch, not an absolute affiliation.

In addition, in the Taihang Mountains, because of the zigzag southbound road, there are actually very few connections between the various parts, and the communication is actually not smooth.

It was also for this reason that Tao Sheng didn't know where Zhang Yan was, but only knew the locations of some nearby Qushuai. He could only contact Zhang Yan through the nearby Qushuai to get his final location.

With Zuo Miaozhangba's assist, Zhang Yan no longer doubted Dong Zhao's identity, but went straight to the point and said, "Since your Excellency is here to discuss recruitment, I don't know what conditions are there from the Nanyang court?"

Dong Zhao smiled lightly, and put a tall hat on Zhang Yan's head: "I understand that the general's original name was Chu Yan, but he changed his name to Zhang Yan because he inherited Zhang Niujiao's position."

"Under the leadership of the general, the Montenegrin Army has gradually stabilized. I guess the general must be a benevolent lord who worries about millions of Montenegro soldiers, otherwise he would never have negotiated terms for the Montenegro soldiers in the first place."

Before Zhang Yan could answer, the man beside him immediately said, "That's right, my Commander Qu is indeed a lord of benevolence and righteousness. Without my Commander Qu, the Black Mountain Army might have perished long ago."

"Daxian is right."

Zuo Miaozhangba on the opposite side nodded affirmatively: "Zhang Qushuai is indeed benevolent and righteous. He always considers the soldiers and the people like me. If Zhang Qushuai didn't have Zhang Qushuai this year, the Black Mountain Army would have lost countless people."

You must know that at the very beginning, the Black Mountain Army's goal was to attack Weijun, Changshan, and Zhongshan, and strive to encroach on Yuan Shao's territory, so they have been fighting all the time, with heavy casualties.

But since this year, Zhang Yan has been changing his thinking, thinking that he must first stand firm in the Taihang Mountains, and then consider going out, entering Weijun, Changshan, Zhongshan, and snatching Yuan Shao's territory.

It is precisely because of this simple change that the Black Mountain Army reduced casualties, and only occasionally broke out of the Taihang Mountains to harass Yuan Shao in Jizhou and put a little pressure on the opponent.

Hearing this, Zhang Yan waved her hands, interrupted the compliments of the two, and said coldly: "The general only cares about what conditions the court can offer, as for other things, I don't need to talk about it."

"That's it"

Dong Zhao took a deep breath, stopped talking nonsense, and gave the conditions directly: "My Majesty promises that as long as you can submit to the imperial court, you can be registered as a normal household registration."

"Each household can cultivate [-] acres of public land. According to Nanyang's farming and distribution model, if each household has more than five people, it can cultivate [-] acres of public land. If it is more, it can be [-] acres."

People take food as their heaven!
The common people don't care about anything else, they just care about whether they have land or not.

As long as you have land, you can live. Even if it is made into a gold mountain, we can't exchange it!

Guo Daxian pinched the goatee under his jaw: "Indeed, all the people in Nanyang are like this. If the imperial court really does this, it will be treated equally for our Black Mountain Army."

"Furthermore, people who cultivate public land can be exempted from oral taxation and counting taxation. This year, the yield per mu of the imperial court has doubled. It is expected that the output in the coming year will inevitably be even higher."

"Ah, yes!"

Zuo Mustache Zhangba on the side also nodded and agreed: "Shuai Qu, I heard that this year the imperial court's yield per mu has reached four stones and five buckets, and ordinary people can get more than two stones of grain per mu."

"If each household has [-] mu of land, that's [-] shi of grain and grass, which is enough to feed a family of three for two years. If you can save some food, it will be no problem for three years."

"and!"

Speaking of this, Dong Zhao added: "Your Majesty has agreed. After the successful elimination of Yuan Shao, all the soldiers and civilians of the Black Mountain Army will be resettled nearby, and the imperial court will be responsible for building houses for them."

"Build a house?"

Guo Daxian on the side couldn't believe it: "But the Nanyang court house is warm in winter and cool in summer? Is there a house with a fire path and a cellar?"

"That's right!"

Dong Zhao nodded affirmatively: "It's exactly that kind of house! Your Majesty has said that, either don't give it, or give it the best. It can live for at least three generations, or even more, and guarantees that the common people will live a good life."

"Great."

Guo Daxian was very excited.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yan, with an unconcealable excitement on his face: "Shuai Qu, Nanyang's house is warm in winter and cool in summer. I mentioned it to you before, do you still remember?"

Zhang Yan nodded slowly. He naturally knew that kind of magical house, and yearned for it even more. After all, in the north, many people died every winter.

If there is a house that can be warm in winter and cool in summer, then the brothers and sisters under my command will not have to endure the severe cold, and can successfully survive one cold winter after another.

"This general believes in the sincerity of the Nanyang court."

"but."

Changing the subject, Zhang Yan said coldly: "In addition to the people of the Black Mountain Army, we still have many soldiers. I wonder how the Nanyang court plans to deal with us?"

After all, they are not ordinary people. If they return to the state of ordinary people because they surrendered to Nanyang, there will be many people who will not be reconciled, that's for sure.

Dong Zhao had already expected this, so he didn't panic at all, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty has said that the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army will be voluntary."

"If you want to be a soldier, then go to be a soldier. If you want to be a citizen, then put down your weapons, take up a hoe and a sickle, and become ordinary people in Jizhou."

"also!"

Dong Zhao emphasized: "Due to the different qualities of that person, even if he becomes a soldier of the imperial court, he must be redistributed according to the arrangement of the imperial court."

"Those who are good at horseback riding and archery may be able to join wolf, leopard, and tiger riders. Those who are good at foot combat can enter the trap camp, or other armies, and serve as infantry."

"Oh?"

Zhang Yan tentatively asked: "In other words, we will definitely not be able to lead the army alone, right?"

Dong Zhao naturally understood that this was the court's strategy to divide and surrender the army, and the other party must be quite afraid of such a question.

However, Dong Zhao will never disobey the court's strategy and agree to some impossible conditions just because he is afraid of the other party.

So.
Dong Zhao nodded with great certainty: "That's right, all the soldiers must be reassigned. You may still get together, but it is absolutely impossible to lead the army alone."

"This officer must make it clear to you in advance. Even Xu Rong, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian and others are like this in Nanyang, without exception."

"And so are you!"

Dong Zhao's voice was loud and clear, without any concession.

call-!
Zhang Yan stared at Dong Zhao's eyes for a long time. Seeing that the other party's momentum was not diminished, he let out a sigh of relief and waved his hands: "Naturally, this general has heard about Nanyang's military and political system."

"but."

After all, Zhang Yan said coldly: "I hope we can be together and take care of each other. After all, it is really impossible for us to be with those people."

"No!"

Dong Zhao refused without hesitation: "I can back down on other matters, but here, there is no room for negotiation. You must obey the court's arrangements in all aspects."

"How your majesty makes adjustments, you must obey the order and enter that army without the slightest objection, otherwise the court can only depose you and send them back to the people."

Zhang Yan was slightly angry, gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "What if I want the brothers to be together and never separate? Could it be that the Nanyang court will still be our enemy?"

"This general can tell you clearly that Yuan Shao can't destroy us, even the Nanyang court can't destroy us either. As long as we go deep into the mountains and old forests, even the heavenly king and I can do nothing to me!"

"Humph."

Unfortunately, in the face of Zhang Yan's strength, Dong Zhao dismissed it: "The general's brotherhood really moved me, but in someone's eyes, the general's move is a way to bring disaster."

Zhang Yan frowned: "Oh? What do you think?"

Dong Zhao calmly said: "It's very simple! My Majesty always wants to keep the army in his hands. If you force this, it is absolutely impossible to gain the absolute trust of my Majesty."

"In this way, sooner or later you will suffer because of this, and you will suffer without knowing it. Although General Zhang has studied, don't worry, you must not be an opponent of the imperial court's think tank."

"In that case."

Dong Zhao spread his hands and said softly, "General, why not do what my majesty asks from the very beginning, so as to gain absolute trust."

"In this way, not only will it be beneficial to your development, General, but it will also be the same for the brothers in the Black Mountain Army. This is the true brotherhood."

"The general is afraid of being killed, and he is worried about his brother."

"but."

As far as this is concerned, although Dong Zhao's voice was calm, it was sonorous and forceful: "The general should be eager to inquire. My majesty can give absolute trust to Lu Bu and Xu Rong, let alone a general who voluntarily surrendered?"

"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of my majesty, the general is not a threat at all. As long as Jizhou and Bingzhou can be included in the pocket, what can you do even if you hide in the mountains?"

"My Majesty has ten thousand ways to force you out, and by that time, let alone fifty acres of arable land, even a sip of water, you will not be there."

"Not to be missed!"

Dong Zhao let out a long breath, and said softly, "Think about it yourself."

Zhang Yan was dumb for a moment, not knowing how to answer: "I, I, this"

Dong Zhao glanced at Zhang Yan: "Oh, by the way, let me tell you a piece of news. It won't be long before the imperial court launches a general attack on Chang'an. Once the key areas in Guanzhong are captured, Bingzhou and Jizhou will be swept away. It will be as easy as pie."

"This"

Zhang Yan frowned, lost in thought.

At this moment, a long report suddenly sounded outside the hall:
"Report—!"

Zhang Yan looked up.

But seeing, a soldier hastily entered the account, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Shuai Qu, the eyes of Taiyuan County have sent back information that the Baibo Valley in Hedong has been breached by the Nanyang court."

"Zhang Liao led elite soldiers along the Fenshui River and entered Taiyuan County. Now they are rushing towards Wang Yun's Taiyuan. Wherever they pass, no one can stop them. They are all killed by something called Fuhuo Leiting. Big defeat."

"Fuhuo Thunder?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"

The soldier shook his head: "The villain doesn't know, but according to intelligence, Zhang Liao razed the Baibo Valley to the ground. Tens of thousands of Baibo Yellow Turbans survived, and less than 5000 survived."

"Besides, their siege is also very simple. Throwing the Fuhuo Thunderbolt on the top of the city can kill a large number of people. Many city guards heard about this thing, and they were so scared that they ran away."

hiss-!
Zhang Yan was surprised, and took a breath: "What is this fire and thunder?"

Dong Zhaoji put his mind to it: "My Majesty is blessed by the gods and can control the power of thunder and fire. This is his power. With this, it is not difficult at all to open mountains and crack rocks."

"Aren't you going to hide in Taihang Mountain? No problem. My Majesty only needs to use fire and thunder to raze Taihang Mountain to the ground little by little. At that time, let alone you, even the mountain beasts will have nowhere to go." Hide."

"This"

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded.

Could it be that this Fu Huo Lei Ting really has the ability to open mountains and crack rocks?

Is this thing really related to His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang?
Is His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang really the chosen one?
