I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 248 Eleven Pillars
The Yellow Turban Army without Qu Shuai has no fighting power, and it is not difficult to defeat them in the next battle.

But for Liu Jian, he didn't want to simply defeat these Yellow Turbans. What he needed was to take them down as farmers and his own productivity.

The number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is very large. Because of the annexation of the top clans of the Han Dynasty and Haoyou, these people were displaced and left their homes, and eventually became rebels. But in fact, if there is a relatively reasonable system, these people can become the prosperous construction of the land of China. screws, and make their due contribution to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Jian didn't want to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army. What he wanted to do was to let these rebel soldiers return to their respective posts and do what they should have done.

…………

Zhang Xi led the cavalry under his command, broke through layers of enemy formations, and finally arrived at the location of Fuyun and Yuancheng.

But unfortunately, he came a step too late after all.

The two yellow scarf thieves who should have been captured alive by him have now become Yan Liang's dead souls.

Except for the heads of the two yellow turban Qu Shuai who were taken by Yan Liang, the rest of the yellow turbans had also been killed by Yan Liang's soldiers.

Zhang He is quite stable. He just took a rough look at the clothes of Yan Liang and the others, and he knew that they were not a regular army, but an army organized by the local Hao You.

Such an army should not have been allowed to exist in the Han Dynasty.

At least when the first emperor Liu Hong was alive, it was not allowed.

Aristocratic and powerful families may be able to annex land or apprentice households, but the bottom line of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is that they are not allowed to have their own army, at least on the surface.

No matter how powerful you are, no matter how high your status is and how big the Wubao Manor is, if you dare to organize an army spontaneously in the open, then you are really tired of living.

It's not a joke, Liu Hong will really raise his troops and crush any prominent family Wubao who dares to organize an army.

The emperors of the Han Dynasty had their bottom line.

But in recent years, especially after the Yellow Turban Uprising and the death of the first emperor Liu Hong, the bottom line of the Han Dynasty has obviously been broken a lot.

Although the imperial court did not have an explicit edict to encourage you to have an army, but since the Yellow Turban Uprising, banditry in various places has become too fierce.

In particular, these bastards don't rob the low-level people, they only go to attack the rich and powerful, whoever has money will attack the family, and they are specialized in ripping off the landlord's family. How can you say that the people of the famous family can bear it?

Or how could they possibly continue to allow this to happen?

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain, and Dong Zhuo settled in the center of the Han Dynasty court. Counter-insurgency is even more powerless.

Especially in Xiliang, although Beigong Boyu and others were attacked by Zhang Wen, Huangfusong, Dong Zhuo and others, they were not completely wiped out, and it can even be said that their vitality was not damaged, especially during the critical period of the war. The sudden death of Liu Hong caused the imperial court to withdraw a large number of elite soldiers from the front line, giving these rebels a chance to breathe, which made their influence in Liangzhou even greater.

And the central government of the Han Dynasty was busy with internal fighting, and had no time to deal with the war in Xiliang.

In today's Liangzhou, most of the area has almost lost contact with the Luoyang center, and it has completely become a separatist territory for the rebels. It can be said that it is challenging the authority of the Luoyang court on the bottom line.

The same is true in all parts of the Kanto region. The Yellow Turban uprising in Qingzhou is just one of them, and the southern states and counties are not peaceful.

Therefore, the nobles and nobles from all over the country began to spontaneously draw strong and strong people from the disciples to form an army to counter the rebellion in various places.

Therefore, when Zhang Yun saw the army led by Yan Liang today, he did not raise any objections. This situation was very common in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty. Sima of the palace just turned a blind eye and didn't mind his own business.

"Who's next?" Zhang He raised the spear in his hand and asked Yan Liang who was on the opposite side.

Yan Liang pushed his horse forward a few steps, and asked: "Dare you ask me, are you under General Zuo's tent?"

Zhang He replied simply and neatly: "A certain is the shepherd envoy of Southern Jizhou, the captain of General Zuo's command is in charge of the other Sima Zhang He, and he was ordered to hunt down the leader of the moth thief here!"

Yan Liang was overjoyed when he heard about it.

He hastily put on a smiling face, and said cheerfully: "A certain person is Yan Liang, a member of the Yan family in Le'an, Qingzhou. And go, so my relatives beheaded it, as a gift for an audience, please trouble Zhang Sima to recommend it for me!"

Hearing this, Zhang He was stunned, he looked Yan Liang back and forth for a while, and asked, "These two moth leaders were beheaded with one step?"

Yan Liang laughed loudly and said, "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about!"

Although Zhang Yun didn't see Yan Liang's figure when he beheaded the two thieves, he could guess how brave he was just by taking a few glances at him.

Yan Liang's body was broad and his arms were broad, almost a full circle wider than Zhang He himself, and almost equal to Zhang Fei.

Regardless of his martial arts skills, this body structure alone is destined to make ordinary people no match for him, and it is enough to be called "Xiong Zhizhi".

"Alright, brother Yan, please go to Licheng with me, and let me introduce you!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

…………

But at this moment, the Yellow Turban Army, which had lost Fuyun and Yuancheng's two bandit leaders, had completely collapsed.

Some middle-level supervisors of the Yellow Turban Army wanted to reverse the situation by beheading the defeated soldiers, but they all failed undoubtedly, and even they themselves were carried by these retreating Yellow Turban soldiers.

Even if Han Xin came back to life, facing the defeat of more than [-] people, he would only be helpless and helpless.

Xu Rong, who understood the importance of fighters, took advantage of this opportunity and commanded the Jizhou soldiers to chase and defeat the soldiers with all their strength, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

At this moment, the yellow turban soldiers broke up and the main general was gone. Xu Rong held up the ring head knife, pointed the blade at the sky and shouted loudly: "The surrender will not be killed! The descendant will not be killed!"

As soon as Xu Rong opened his mouth, the elite guards behind him also raised their spears and shouted: "The surrender will not be killed! The descendant will not be killed!"

The shouts of hundreds of people spread to thousands of Jizhou Army soldiers on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Jizhou Army with high morale also shouted loudly: "The descendants will not be killed!"

Those who descend do not kill!

These four words were yelled by nearly ten thousand Jizhou soldiers with high morale. Although they were a bit chaotic, they had the power to shake Mount Tai. Like thunder, they exploded and spread throughout the field within several miles.

This cry can be described as earth-shattering.

What is the fundamental purpose of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army as Yellow Turbans?
It's just for survival.

Now when they hear the words "The descendant will not be killed", they seem to hear the sound of nature.

On the battlefield, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers shouted loudly. They raised their arms high and shouted vigorously, fearing that Liu Jian's subordinates would not hear them.

It’s just that what the Yellow Turban Army shouted was: “May I surrender! I wish to surrender! I wish to surrender!”

…………

An hour later, the situation on the battlefield was basically calmed down.

The Yellow Turban Army died, fled, and collapsed. Of course, a large part of the people expressed their willingness to surrender.

The number of Yellow Turban soldiers who voluntarily surrendered this time was quite large, fully reaching half. As for the remaining half, Liu Jian felt that they either fled to other Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers to join the army, or they would come back and surrender sooner or later.

This is not how confident Liu Jian is, but in his opinion, the policies he implemented are the most suitable for the Yellow Turban Army.

Since he started farming in Jizhou, Liu Jian has used the large tracts of unowned land left over from the troubled times as a basis, and based on some detailed rules in the Land Equalization Law from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty as the basic regulations, he stabilized the situation and made The common people have arable land, which enables the government to have continuous income and maintains the normal operation of Jizhou.

To put it simply, the land that was barren due to the war has been reshuffled and all of it is under the control of the government. The government has become the largest landlord and uses the land lease right in its hands to restore social stability.

Of course, history has proved that with the passage of time, the government's land will still be swallowed up by those who stand on the top of the pyramid as private land. This method of renting and transferring land can only maintain temporary stability. But definitely not for long.

However, for Liu Jian, this method is sufficient in a short period of time. At least in the past ten years before the end of the troubled times, this method can definitely maintain stability and restore agricultural productivity.

And it was he who first implemented this method, causing a large number of refugees to flock to Hebei.

Liu Jian's name is also widely circulated among the bottom-level people.

And Lu Zhi also obeyed Liu Jian's order in the north of Jizhou, and carried out farming according to the method he taught.

Not to mention the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, even the Black Mountain Army has gradually formed a deficit in the flow of personnel.

In the past few years, there have always been refugees and hooligans who can't eat outside, fleeing to the Taihang Mountains in search of life, but now, with the whole Liu Jian's farming, the recovery of productivity and the recovery of the bottom people after farming Fewer and fewer people fled to Montenegro because of the grain harvest. On the contrary, more and more people came out of Taihang Mountains.

The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and the thieves in Taihang Mountain are of the same nature. No matter what they do, they must have survival as their main purpose.

As long as Liu Jian can provide them with a stable environment in which to survive, he is not afraid that people like the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou will not surrender.

"My lord, Zhang Sima brought a man who called himself Yan Liang to see him."

When Zhao Yun said this to Liu Jian, Liu Jian was on the city wall, watching his soldiers escort the surrendered Qingzhou Yellow Turban into the city, and he didn't react for a while.

He just gave a soft "hmm".

But soon...

"Ok?"

Liu Jian turned around slowly, looked at Zhao Yun in surprise and said, "Who did you just say?"

"Reporting to the envoy, it is Zhang Sima, Zhang Yun."

"no no."

Liu Jian waved his hand and said, "I asked who he brought here?"

"Reporting to the envoy, Zhang Sima brought a man named Yan Liang to see the envoy, and Zhang Sima said that this Yan Liang killed two Qu commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, and brought the heads of the two thieves to join the envoy. "

Liu Jian was stunned for a while, then hurriedly said: "Please!"

"only!"

After Zhao Yun went down, Liu Jian stood where he was and began to count with his fingers.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan... are called Hebei Four Court Columns in history.

But now, with the fierce generals under his command gathered together, the four court pillars must be unable to hold back.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan, Cheng Pu, Han Dang...

Now add such a Yan Liang.

Eleven characters who can be called fierce generals!

Will it be called Eleven Pillars in the future?Or the Eleven Huchen?
It's hard to decide.
