I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 693 Feng Shui takes turns

Liu Biao killed twenty-seven powerful families in one fell swoop, instantly becoming famous in Liangzhou!

Later, Liu Biao sent someone to contact Zhang Fei and asked him to help Liangzhou Governor to confiscate the properties of these powerful people.

Liu Xian didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so he relied on the local powerful men in Hanyang County, headed by Jiang Ji, to use their own private soldiers to support him in Liangzhou.

However, although Liu Biao had reached cooperation with Jiang Ji and other Hanyang County powerful men, it was not convenient for him to use the power of local powerful men to do such a thing, because he was concerned about the power of local powerful people in Liangzhou headed by Jiang Ji and others. , in order to prevent them from expanding their power too much by confiscating the twenty-seven powerful families, Liu Biao felt that it was best to approach Zhang Fei for this matter.

After all, Zhang Fei and Liu Biao were both members of the court. They were both subordinate to the Han court and Prime Minister Liu Jian.

It was the best choice to ask Zhang Fei to help him confiscate the land and population of the three counties. I think since we are all members of the imperial court, Zhang Fei can help voluntarily.

But what Liu Biao never expected was that after the envoy he sent communicated with Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei actually sent the envoy back, and he told Liu Biao that he could send troops to help.

The Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps also wants a share!

Not many, everyone is four or six, I am four, you are six!

Am I interesting enough?

To be honest, Zhang Fei's requirements were not high, but Liu Biao couldn't accept it!

He was a regular governor sent to Liangzhou by the imperial court. He used Zhang Fei's troops to help the local governor confiscate the property of powerful people. Why should he get a share?

Zhang Fei's answer to Liu Biao was - I, the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps, belong to a different family than you!

We have our own mission here, and sending troops to help you is something outside of my mission. It must be a benefit to our corps!

Liu Biao was so angry when he saw Zhang Fei's reply, but when he thought that he was the sworn brother of the current prime minister, he could only do this.

Moreover, the current matter was quite urgent. Liu Biao had to ask Zhang Fei to send troops quickly. After all, the opponent had twenty-seven families. Now that he suddenly attacked and killed their leader, he could catch them off guard!

If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the other clan will organize a decent defense and counterattack, and it will be difficult to deal with it by then.

However, Liu Biao did not directly agree to Zhang Fei, but told him - 30 to 70 points is fine! You are three, I am seven!

After Zhang Fei got Liu Biao's letter, he laughed and agreed immediately.

He was just trying to get three points to talk to Liu Biao. After all, if the confiscated property and fields that the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps separated from the local government were too much, Zhang Fei himself would be afraid of being blamed. In the middle of the court, public opinion will probably be unfavorable to Zhang Fei himself.

After identifying the targets of the twenty-seven powerful families, Zhang Fei immediately called for Lu Bu.

He and Lu Bu sent out separate troops to attack the Zhuwu Fort of these twenty-seven powerful families and confiscated their wealth.

The last time Lu Bu accompanied Zhang Fei to annihilate seven local powerful families in Hanyang County, he himself also benefited from it and made a lot of money.

Zhang Fei turned a blind eye to this matter. He knew it very well, but as long as Lu Bu didn't go too far, Zhang Fei would acquiesce.

Now when Lu Bu heard that they were going to raid twenty-seven powerful Uburgs, he almost lost his joy. This was a huge fortune!

Seeing the excited light in Lu Bu's eyes, Zhang Fei immediately reminded him: "What we are doing this time is different from the last time. We are cooperating with the Liangzhou Governor's Department to confiscate various families. Most of the property and fields must be handed over to the Liangzhou Governor." It will be registered and registered, and it will be owned by the state!"

"As for the remaining small part, it belongs to our Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps."

"Fengxian, when you lead the troops to copy, even if you make some mistakes, you can't go too far... It's hard for us to explain it to Liu Biao, and it's even harder for us to explain it to the prime minister."

Zhang Fei's words were telling Lu Bu that when you steal property, it doesn't matter if you are greedy, just don't go too far.

Don't let you and a group of your subordinates be greedy for a while. Once you're done, let Liu Biao find out and file a lawsuit with the court. I can't protect you.

Lu Bu is no longer the foolish person he was in the past. Listening to Zhang Fei's words, you will naturally understand what he means.

He immediately raised his hands and said: "Don't worry, Protector-General, Bu will definitely act in accordance with the rules of the imperial court and not embarrass the Protector-General!"

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Zhang Fei felt relieved, so the two of them led their troops separately.

Liu Biao's plan this time was rather sudden. In addition, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu were both powerful generals in the world. How could they use troops differently from ordinary people?

After a series of annihilations, the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps gained a large amount of land and wealth, and also took this opportunity to train their troops.

After Liu Biao obtained the properties, households, and private weapons of these twenty-seven powerful families, he was finally able to establish his own army of Liangzhou Governor's Department.

What Zhang Fei and Liu Biao had done was reported back to the court. Liu Jian was very pleased when he found out about it.

Liu Biaoli didn't understand what he meant, and Liu Jian didn't know, but Zhang Fei must have understood what he meant.

In Liu Jian's view, Liangzhou is a special region.

Let Zhang Fei and Liu Biao act separately. Liu Biao represents the court, while Zhang Fei represents Liu Jian's personal will. The two sides complement each other and work together in Liangzhou. Although there will be conflicts, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Facts have proved that Zhang Fei did this very beautifully.

Liu Jian immediately established capable and trustworthy prefects in Anding, Wudu, and Longxi, and put them under Liu Biao's supervision to jointly govern the eastern part of Liangzhou.

In this way, the imperial court directly controlled the four major counties of Hanyang, Wudu, Anding and Longxi in the east of Liangzhou through Liu Biao.

Although Liangzhou has a vast territory, these four counties are the four closest to the Guanzhong area and have the most frequent communication with it.

These four counties formed a barrier to the Guanzhong area.

In this way, the Guanzhong area will not be harassed by the Liangzhou Army. From now on, the people in the Guanzhong area can safely develop agriculture, commerce and other activities in the Guanzhong area.

And Zhang Fei also moved very quickly.

After obtaining 30% of the property and land of the twenty-seven powerful men in the three counties, he immediately expanded the scope of his farming and the number of soldiers, expanding the original 25,000 troops to 30,000.

Among these 30,000 people, 3,000 were Qiang warriors that Zhang Fei had just recruited from the local Qiang tribe in Liangzhou.

These Qiang warriors were all recruited by Zhang Fei from the Qiang tribes in Hanyang County with whom he had an increasingly warm relationship.

In Zhang Fei's view, if his army wants to stay in Liangzhou for a long time and want to dominate Liangzhou in the future, it must have Qiang soldiers to join.

Taking advantage of his increasingly heated relationship with the local Qiang tribe, he recruited some trustworthy Qiang soldiers to become his backbone in Liangzhou, which would make the integration of the Han and Qiang people faster, which would be beneficial to the court's future plans.

After the actions of Liu Biao and Zhang Fei reached the ears of the rebels led by Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, they were all stunned.

They really didn't expect that Zhang Fei and Liu Biao would do things so quickly and sharply.

They were actually able to bring Liangzhou politics to such an extent in such a short period of time, and the four eastern counties seemed to be completely under their control!

As a result, the strategic depth of Ma Teng, Han Sui and more than ten rebel groups heading eastward was lost, and their access to Guanzhong was basically blocked.

Zhang Fei and Liu Biao occupied the eastern part of Liangzhou, and the four counties were like a high wall, blocking them deeply from the high wall of the Central Plains.

Moreover, the key reason why the Liangzhou army was able to resist the same etiquette as the imperial army was because the costs for the two imperial courts to suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou were too high.

Now Zhang Fei and Liu Biao are engaged in farming, construction, and business with the Qiang people in the east of Liangzhou. They plan to stay there for a long time. How can they survive after this long time?

So, Ma Teng and Han Sui began to gather troops and prepare to attack Longxi County. After all, Longxi County was close to their base camp in Jincheng County, and some distance from Hanyang County. There were many Qiang people in Longxi County, so it was easy to provoke them!

Ma Teng and Han Sui's current goal is to disrupt Longxi County so that Zhang Fei, Liu Biao and others cannot safely garrison and raise troops in eastern Liangzhou.

But the problem is that Zhang Fei was already prepared for what Ma Teng and Han Sui would do.

He had already placed many soldiers and horses in Longxi County, and at the same time sent Dong Huang to communicate with the local Qiang people and get along well with them.

Ma Teng and Han Sui seemed to have forgotten that although Zhang Fei started his career in Hanyang County, he had Dong Huang as his spokesperson, but the Dong family was from Longxi County.

Compared to Hanyang County, the Dong family's influence is broader in Longxi County.

In particular, Dong Zhuo's heroic deeds were widely spread among the Qiang people in Longxi County, and it can be said that no one knows about them.

With Dong Huang as Zhang Fei's spokesperson, and Zhang Fei's generous spending, the Qiang people in Longxi County also unanimously leaned toward Zhang Fei.

In fact, in the decisive battle with the Liangzhou rebels in Liangzhou, who has the stronger military strength is secondary. The key is who can win the hearts of the Qiang people more.

Don't underestimate these Qiang people in Liangzhou. Their influence in the local area can be said to be quite huge.

Liangzhou's territory is too vast and its depth is too far-reaching.

Only by making good friends with the local Qiang people can we get their help at any time, and at the same time we can better understand what is happening in the counties of Liangzhou.

Moreover, the Qiang people are familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou, and through them they can know the favorable supply points in various counties and regions of Liangzhou at any time.

Therefore, if you want to win the war in Liangzhou, you must have the support of the local Qiang people.

Ma Teng and Han Sui also had high prestige among the Qiang people.

Their prestige among the Qiang people is mainly because they are locals, and the bravery of Ma Teng and Han Sui is deeply appreciated by the Qiang people.

But now that Zhang Fei is here, the situation is different.

When the Qiang people in Longxi County see that the Dong family is a guarantor, they will be more inclined to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's bravery is undoubtedly superior to Han Sui and Ma Teng, and Zhang Fei also respects the Qiang people very much.

The benefits he gave to the Qiang people were far beyond what Ma Teng and Han Sui could give.

In particular, Zhang Fei has now helped local noble families build pastures in Hanyang County, and has also helped their cattle, sheep and horses communicate with the court for business transactions.

Through Zhang Fei's channel, the Qiang people in Hanyang County had a stable trade channel with the Guanzhong area and even through Guanzhong to Hebei and the Central Plains.

This trade channel made the Qiang people in Hanyang County very wealthy in just a few months, and their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In addition, Liu Biao secretly publicized this incident throughout Liangzhou, making the Qiang people in all counties full of envy of the Qiang people in Hanyang County.

They are all Qiang people, so why are they the only ones who can live a prosperous life?

Now, Zhang Fei's power has extended to Longxi County. When the Qiang people in Longxi County saw Zhang Fei coming and they were interested in making friends with them, they naturally wanted to make friends with Zhang Fei.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops have now entered Longxi County. It is naturally impossible to rely on the Qiang people in Longxu County to cause damage to Zhang Fei in Longxi.

The Qiang people in Longxi County are no longer the same as before. They still hope for a better life from the imperial court. How can they cooperate with Ma Teng and Han Sui to cause trouble for Zhang Fei?

After Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived in Longxi County, they secretly sent envoys to make friends with the Qiang people everywhere, hoping to get them to jointly send troops to destroy Liu Biao's farmland in Longxi and attack the military fort established by Zhang Fei in Longxi.

But it is a pity that the Qiang people of Longxi County who originally listened to Ma Teng and Han Sui very much now have little Jiujiu in their hearts. They are no longer the good babies of the Liangzhou rebels.

Even if there are many Qiang people in Ma Teng and Han Sui's army, it is not a big deal to the local Qiang leaders in Longxi County.

In the face of interests, everything is bullshit.

Instead of responding to Ma Teng and Han Sui's invitation, these Qiang leaders secretly informed Zhang Fei of Ma Teng and Han Sui's troop movements.

I hope that by selling information about Ma Teng and Han Sui, Zhang Fei can give them more resources.

Facts have proved that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who win the hearts of the Qiang people win Liangzhou.

After Zhang Fei received the intelligence and support provided by the Qiang people, he quickly found the main troops hidden by Ma Teng and Han Sui in Longxi.

Ma Teng and Han Sui thought they were hiding well, but in fact they had been discovered by Zhang Fei long ago.

Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, and Zhang He divided their troops into three groups and launched a violent attack on Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops with lightning speed.

Ma Teng and Han Sui did not expect that Zhang Fei would take action so quickly and find their location so accurately. They were beaten to the point of losing their armor in a hurry.

They were beaten so hard by the three Qiang troops that they had no way to mount an effective counterattack.

At this moment, Ma Teng and Han Sui were completely disabled. After their main troops were attacked by Zhang Fei, their direct losses reached 30,000 people.

The number of other injured soldiers is even more immeasurable.

Not to mention the losses of other leaders of the rebels.

In this battle, Zhang Fei completely demonstrated his prestige in Longxi County and also established the reputation of the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps.

However, just when Zhang Fei and others were having fun in Liangzhou, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Yi in the south could not sit still.

Liu Jian's development speed was so fast. Who would have thought that in less than two years after entering Chang'an, he would stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and also govern Yanzhou.

Even Liangzhou, a tough nut that generations of emperors have been unable to break, has now gradually become clearer under his combination of punches.

Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Yi understood that if Liu Jian was allowed to continue to develop for no reason, their Yuan family would be destroyed sooner or later.

Originally, Liu Jian occupied the imperial court now and had occupied the great righteousness. If he continued to stay like this, the Yuan family would die sooner or later.

Therefore, Yuan Shao decided to take action to cause some trouble for Liu Jian.
