Taking over a city after the war was quite common for Shao Jun and his subordinates. They already had a systematic process. However, this time they brought too many soldiers and didn't understand the rules very well, making the whole scene a bit chaotic.
"Enter the city, plunder, behead them, and hang their heads everywhere as a warning to others." Shen Ling, the supervisor, shouted and ordered.
The guards who followed him swarmed up and pushed several soldiers who had just left the yard to the ground.
There were several people in the hospital, and when they saw this situation, their eyes suddenly became fierce.
Shen Ling was shocked. There were only five or six people inside and outside the courtyard. He had hundreds of people on hand, but he didn't run away and wanted to resist. It was really a good idea to kill him.
Most of the guards were soldiers from Xuchang, and their combat effectiveness was about the same as that of other soldiers. The victory came from preparation, so several archers were called in to shoot down all the marauding sergeants who tried to resist with a barrage of arrows.
There were fellow rebels on the street who did not participate in the looting, but after seeing the execution of the township party members with their own eyes, they felt a sense of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and made a lot of noise.
Upon hearing this, the sergeant of the Yinqiang Zhongying Battalion who was counting the warehouses nearby mobilized more than a hundred people and watched them eagerly.
The people were in a stalemate for a while and then left in despair.
Shen Ling secretly rejoiced, but at the same time he was a little angry: none of these greedy people should be allowed to enter the city.
After a brief interlude, as the heads of the rebel soldiers who wantonly raped and looted were hanged in public, the hot and restless hearts of the troops who entered the city finally cooled down.
After a big defeat and the general's prestige is reduced, he can still complain a little, say some weird things, or even plunder.
Now that we have won a great victory, we don't dare to do it anymore - everyone thinks that the conquerors who have won the battle are in danger, but in fact, our own troops who have suffered a defeat are also in danger, and even do worse things.
The people of Guanggu closed their doors and windows tightly at this moment, watching all this with trepidation.
When a child cries, his or her mouth is immediately covered, fearing that some passing soldier might kick open the door and enter to do evil.
Even if there are officers to enforce military discipline, not every evil deed can be discovered. Whether to restrain or not to restrain is just a matter of how much evil is done, and it is impossible not to do evil.
But then again, as long as you don't infringe on the scholars, wealthy families, and scholars, you will be praised as "Qiu Wugui", "Teacher of the King", and even a few words of admiration will be written in the history books, even if you The soldiers invaded many Shengdou civilians, but they were ignored and no one spoke for them.
Generally speaking, because they tried their best to restrain military discipline, Shao Xun's soldiers and horses were the least nuisance to the people. When future generations read history, they may further beautify it. After all, soldiers really can't do anything under the eyes of officers. , rushed into the mansion of a wealthy family, guarded by child servants and servants, so there must be no shortage of complimentary words.
In the afternoon of the 29th, the entry into the city was basically completed.
The Yangshi Tribe, Hebei Army, Silver Spear Army, and Xianbei Army each occupied their own place, but no one suffered a loss. When writing military reports in the future, we can mention that "a certain unit came from a certain door", and everyone contributed.
Yang Chen led the generals directly to Cao Yi's shogunate.
All the minor officials and servants in the palace had long since fled, official documents were scattered everywhere, several cases were staggered, and there were blood stains on the ground. It was obvious that this center of power in Qingzhou had been involved in a killing before - Cao Yi was here before surrendering.
He held a banquet at Hongmen and killed more than ten famous generals.
Liu Ling followed the team and looked at the majestic shogunate and solemn furnishings, and was immediately speechless.
He put himself in Cao Yi's position, imagining him sitting at the top, giving orders to generals and staff, and having the power of a state in his hands. What a pleasure it was!
A real man cannot live without power for a day!
Money and women are completely embellishments brought by power. As long as you have power, you will have everything.
Cao Yi, a shit scholar, was able to pick up Qingzhou and dominate Qingzhou for many years. I don't know how comfortable he was. And what about him? He followed Wang Mi and fled everywhere. He was chased by Liang Gong. In the end, he was captured and almost lost his life.
Cao Yi had hundreds of concubines, and he was running around all day long. It was impossible for him to have any women or children. Maybe he had, but after he was captured, most of them were taken over by others. Damn it!
It was only after he became an officer in Liang Gong's army that he stabilized a little, married a businesswoman in Xuchang, and gave birth to a son.
He actually did worse than Cao Yi!
Jin Zheng and Zhang Shuo got together, talking and laughing.
"The Grand Governor has ordered the powerful families from various counties to send people to Guanggu, mostly for rewards." Zhang Shuo said, "Maybe we need them to donate some food and grass."
Jin Zheng was not interested in this and only said: "Did Master Shao say anything to you?"
Zhang Shuo looked at Jin Zheng in surprise and said honestly: "After the war, our department will probably stay in Guanggu for a while."
Jin Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be surprised. It's good that Zhongying is staying here. Watch Qingzhou and don't let so many counties be taken away by others."
Zhang Shuo thought silently and said nothing.
He was one or two terms behind Kim Jong, so his qualifications were not as good as theirs, and his status was also a little lower. Even if he disagreed with his words, he would not refute it.
He is a very pure warrior, and he doesn't think much about some things. Today, when Jin Zheng reminded him, he seemed to have awakened something, and his thoughts were a little confused for a while.
On the other side, Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang looked respectful and followed the crowd step by step.
After two months of capturing Qingzhou, they were greatly shocked and a little discouraged.
In fact, when Liu Bogen revolted, the Jin army in Qingzhou could not defeat him and suffered repeated defeats. However, they followed Wang Jun's order and went south to destroy their main force and kill Liu Bogen in one battle. From a military perspective, they could even defeat him in a month.
All enemies in Qingzhou.
But winning is one thing, establishing a solid rule is another. The difficulty is not on the same level.
The wealthy people of Qingzhou abandoned Cao Yi at a critical moment, which was the main reason for his failure.
Liang Gong is very popular with wealthy families!
After all, he is from Jin, so it is naturally easy for him to attract wealthy people from Jin to seek refuge. As long as he lives, the situation in the Central Plains will probably not change much.
Even if they, Duan Bu Xianbei, want to find an opportunity to get rid of their current situation and gain a real territory, I am afraid it will be difficult.
This made them both very disappointed.
Wang Xuan was a little two steps behind Yang Chen, and had a pleasant conversation with Cao Yi's staff who were accompanying him.
He knows his mission very well.
In terms of family status and reputation, the Langya Wang family has great advantages in Qingzhou.
As for Qingxu scholars, the two characters Qingxu are juxtaposed and are often mentioned together.
The wealthy families in these two places have many marriages and close relationships, so they naturally like to get together. It was precisely because he knew this that Duke Liang sent him here, and he came happily.
He recalled a conversation he had with his father at the beginning of the year.
My father said that when he was seeking the governorship of Qingzhou for Chu Zhong (Wang Dun) and the governor of Xuzhou for Mao Hong (Wang Dao), they went there because of the current situation where the gentry in Qingxu and Xuzhou were connected by the same spirit.
After the plan failed and the situation became increasingly chaotic, it was difficult for my father to recreate this political layout. Because he had obvious shortcomings and could not drive away Gou Xi. Cao Yi's words were useless no matter how extravagant they were.
Now with the help of Liang Gong's powerful force, it seems to be somewhat possible.
Wang Xuan was worried for a while, but his father looked at him meaningfully and said that Duke Liang might not object.
Wang Xuan suddenly understood.
The group of Qingxu scholars is quite popular in Jianye, and there are many of them, including the Wang family, the Yan family, the Zhuge family, etc.
But in the north, the Qingxu scholars were still relatively popular during the Sima Yue era. However, after Shao Xun unified Henan, the Qingxu political group collapsed, and the Yuzhou scholars represented by Yingchuan rose strongly.
Among the three Dukes, Six Ministers, and Six Ministers of the Liang Kingdom, one-third of the positions were given to Yingchuan scholars, and this did not include scholars from other counties in Yuzhou.
Liang Gong is obviously from Xuzhou, but the Qingxu scholars have been unable to get up. Isn't it strange?
"Mr. Liang has no objection", hehe.
My father is really cunning and has been waiting for an opportunity.

After the good news came back to Lu County, Shao Xun ordered to pack up and go to Guanggu to have a look.
Zu Ti led his naval division to capture Pi, and Jianye's four military cities north of the Huaihe River also cooperated in the attack, employing more than 30,000 land and sea soldiers.
Liu Chou took command of Pengcheng and ordered that he hold on and not waste any time fighting.
Zu Ti and others were unable to capture the fortified city, so in the end they had no choice but to force or deceive some of the people of Xuzhou and evacuate to the south of the Huai River. Together with the people of Xiapi and Pengcheng who had moved south during the retreat, they settled in Guangling.
In other lands, there are both farmers and soldiers.
After learning about Wu Bing's movements, Shao Xun decided to leave. It happened that the news arrived, and there was nothing more to say.
Before leaving, he considered it repeatedly and issued a series of orders——
1. Open the treasury and give rewards to all the troops. Give one piece of silk and two pieces of cloth. If there is any shortage, you can send donations to make up for it.
2. Ding Zhuang from Xianbei, Hebei, and Henan counties dismissed their troops one after another and sent all their troops to Bianliang to build the palace city.
Third, Liang Guo appointed an additional Qingqi General, appointed Zhang Shuo as the post, and led the Yin Qianzhong camp to stay in Guanggu.
Fourth, declare to the whole army, select 3,600 men with outstanding military exploits, move their families to Chenliu, and become soldiers of the government.
Fifth, add General Wu Ya, hold this post with Yang Quan, choose to send 10,000 troops, and march south to Xuzhou with the main unit to reinforce the Huai River line.
6. Xi Cao, the General's Mansion, went to Qingzhou, and Wang Xuan, Cao Shangshu of Liang Guotian, took charge of the affairs of Dong Cao, and that was all.
For the time being, these are the six orders. More specific arrangements will have to wait until he goes for a walk before he can decide.
In addition, he also had to see what Qingzhou was like now.
Since more than ten years ago, Liu Bogen and Wang Mi started to rebel one after another. When the Gou Xi brothers were in Qingzhou, they brutally tortured and killed endlessly. Then they fought with Cao Yi. After Cao Yi took over, he fought with Shao Xun for several years...
…
Judging from these extremely frequent wars, Qingzhou was very chaotic. Otherwise, Wang Dun would not have been scared away by the bandits and abandoned his wife halfway.
At the same time, this is actually an opportunity, an opportunity to resettle a large number of people and truly integrate households into the people.
Shao Xun needs to be able to directly control the counties instead of relying on the indirect control of the gentry. Qingzhou should give him this opportunity - Henan and Hebei have entered a "stock society". A big state is completely worthy of him personally fighting against the gentry.
Eat eat.
On the fifth day of June, the army left Lu County and marched towards Guanggu.
Before leaving, a good news was carried by a courier and sent to Luoyang on Pegasus.
Chapter completed!
