Seeing the power of Lei Gong's thunder method, and knowing that their fortresses were nothing more than paper in front of Lei Gong, these wealthy nobles and powerful gentry no longer dared to resist Lei Gong's army, and agreed to all Lei Gong's requests with a sad face.

Wang Ge asked a little puzzled: "Why doesn't Commander Qu directly destroy them this time? It would be troublesome to leave them behind, and it would be easy for them to breed tigers."

Wang Ge and the others were full of hatred for the nobles, nobles and gentry. They liked to eradicate the powerful nobles and gentry. It was even more pleasant to divide the fields and land. Although their fields were divided now, after all, they tried the nobles and nobles publicly.

, Wang Ge felt this was a bit regretful.

Xu Weidao: "Our main thing this time is to go to the Yellow River to rescue the victims. Fighting is only a secondary thing. If we really want to wipe out all the noble families in Taiyuan County, not to mention their desperate resistance, it will take time to just break through their forts."

How much time!"

Wang Ge thought for a while, and based on their experience, it would take at least three or four months. This period did not include Dong Zhuo's counterattack. Of course, the best way was to wipe out Dong Zhuo's army, so that they could eliminate them without any scruples.

These wealthy nobles and gentry are powerful!

So Xu Wei said: "If we really attack Wubao one by one, we are afraid that the victims will have long since starved to death. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo has 30,000 troops, and there are 30,000 to 40,000 troops around Bingzhou. If we really want to be defeated by Dong Zhuo

If you gather together to fight us, there will be an army of 50,000 to 60,000 in the entire Taiyuan. Our 100,000 army will fight an army of 50,000 to 60,000. Moreover, it will be a battle in Bingzhou with difficult terrain. If Dong Zhuo continues to resist, in less than half a year, you can guarantee that he will be able to do so.

Fighting to the edge of the Yellow River? If it really takes half a year to fight, then what is the point of all this we are doing!"

Really, if it weren't for the purpose of rescuing the victims, Xu Wei would have wanted to stay in Mayi and continue farming. He was worried that the butterfly effect would affect the situation in the late Han Dynasty, so he stayed in Mayi just to make himself more aware of the Han Dynasty.

Influence is reduced to a minimum.

But now it seems that his influence on the Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger. At least Xu Wei knows that Dong Zhuo should be the governor of Hedong County according to the original history, not the governor of Taiyuan County!

As for this expedition, Xu Wei was prepared to change the script. He was really going to occupy the entire Bingzhou Army. Xu Wei felt that in the future, the feudal princes' petition against Dong would turn into a feudal prince's petition for thunder!

Xu Wei continued: "It's great now. As long as we threaten them, we will get all the land and food. Our main purpose is not to kill people, but to fairly distribute the land so that the refugees can once again have the capital to survive."

For us now, dividing the fields is the best thing to solve. The difficult thing is later. There are more than 2,000 miles from Mayi to the Yellow River. There are now millions of refugees who will pass through here soon. We

We need to build tracks all the way here, build resettlement sites for the refugees, and allocate land in various places, and then allocate these lands to the refugees. These things are 10 times more difficult than war. And we don’t have much time. Every delay

Thousands of refugees will starve to death in one day!

In this case, why should we waste time in the hands of these wealthy noble families? As long as they do not affect our work, we will spare their lives. Without land and tenants in the hands of these wealthy noble family leaders, their decline is inevitable.

If they escape to the court, it would be better if we can even take back the remaining land."

At this time, Wang Ge understood Xu Wei's thoughts. Xu Weizhi spared these wealthy nobles just to rush for time!

After dividing the fields in Yuanping County, Zhang Baiqi brought several hundred fields to Yuanping County and became the head of the township and village. He allowed these fields to be used in villages of all sizes in Yuanping County to form the Tengjia Army.

The most basic political power, the political power of the entire Yuanping County began to be reorganized!

After these farmers came to the countryside, they evenly distributed the land to other refugees or tenants, waiting for them to form cooperatives and help them get loans to buy sickles, plowshares, and cattle. These measures were implemented very quickly. The township head of Tengjiajun and the village

As long as you have a firm foothold in the local area.

However, the lack of force to suppress these powerful noble families still left hidden dangers. These people were unwilling to have their land divided up like this.

So they secretly found the tenants who allocated their fields and threatened them, saying that the grain belonged to their family. If they dared not pay the tax, they would be beaten to death. If they dared to tell the Tengjia Army, they would be beaten to death. These noble families were already powerful, and they could not deal with Xu Wei.

The army, but they can't deal with the local tenants! And they don't feel that they have done anything wrong. This is their land, why should they hand it over to others like this!

After being threatened, many tenants did not even dare to tell the villagers and the mayor! But such a large-scale threat could not be hidden from anyone. Soon Litian of Bentengjia Army discovered the matter, and they reported it to Zhang Bai

ride.

Finally, Zhang Baiqi told Xu Wei and said: "Shuai Qu, now that your army is suppressing them, they dare not do anything, but after the army leaves, they will definitely rebel, and even if they don't rebel, they will continue to stay."

The local area will also affect our political power. After all, they are local snakes and have hundreds of years of influence!"

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "We don't have so much time to contend with them. Since they have great influence locally, let's move them to Mayi. I don't believe it. They dare to threaten us in Mayi."

People!"

Zhang Baiqi said worriedly: "I'm afraid they won't leave!"

"It's just to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. As long as we conquer a fort, they will know our kindness, and they will know that going to Mayi is their best choice!"

Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and suggested: "The population in places like Shuofang County is sparse now. Since the population needs to be relocated, we should move them to places like Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, and Yunzhong County!"

Xu Wei nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Then Xu Wei once again summoned the powerful gentry from Yuanping County, and in front of these family heads, he used black gunpowder to attack a powerful fortress named Liu!

Then thousands of soldiers rushed into Wubao, arrested Liu Haoqiang's family, summoned people from surrounding villages, and asked the people to expose the evil deeds of these powerful people. They put Liu Haoqiang on trial and finally hanged more than a dozen people according to the magnitude of their crimes.

People and property were divided.

Xu Wei did all this in front of these family heads, who were all sweating coldly when they saw it!

Xu Wei looked at these powerful men and said with a cold face: "I heard that some of you are dissatisfied and secretly ask the people to continue paying rent and taxes to them. You do one thing in front of them and another behind their backs. Today I, Lao Lei, will show you.

Look at the consequences of doing this!"

"Leigong Qushuai, we didn't do this!" The powerful nobles and gentry around were frightened, and they immediately assured Xu Wei one by one that they were not secretly threatening the people!

Xu Wei said angrily: "I have no time to quarrel with you. Now I will give you three choices. Either the whole family will be hanged like this family, or they will all be moved to the territory of our Tengjia Army.

Whether it’s Yunzhong County or Shuofang County, it’s up to you to choose. You can reclaim as much land as you want in these places! Of course, you can also choose to expand the territory of my Tengjia Army, and I won’t have to worry about you!”

These noble families and powerful gentry were dumbfounded when they heard this. These places are not only poor places, but also have to face the invasion of Xianbei people at any time. Going to those places is not a narrow escape, but if you don't go now, you will be dead.

!

"I'll give you 10 days. If you continue to stay here after 10 days, I will bring an army to completely wipe you out. They will be your fate! My patience has limits!"

Looking at the person hanging on the platform, all the nobles and nobles present shuddered. This Lei Gong is really vicious and will kill anyone he says!

So after they returned, they began to sell off their property. Ninety percent of the people chose to leave the territory of the Tengjia Army, but there were still 10% who felt that there was a war and chaos everywhere, so it was better to stay on the territory of the Tengjia Army. At least immediately

The city is still very prosperous!

After dealing with these powerful nobles, Xu Wei said to Zhang Baiqi: "The counties we will occupy in the future will be based on the experience of Yuanping County, and I was a little naive. I thought that as long as I scare these powerful nobles, they will be obedient.

Now it seems that they will cause trouble for us as long as there is an opportunity. Each of our counties must have the power to suppress them. In this way, after the land is divided, each county will have 1,000 county brigade soldiers, and each county will have tens of thousands of soldiers.

Soldiers, these soldiers are used to suppress the wealthy nobles in our new place. If this problem occurs again, you will lead the soldiers to suppress them completely!"

Zhang Baiqi nodded and said, "I know what to do!"

Xu Wei led the army to move forward. At this time, Wang Yong and others had cut off the river channel in Yuanping County, and the moat in Yuanping County had become dry.

When Lu Bu saw the dry moat and the exposed city wall bricks below, they realized that the city could not be defended.

At this time, Xu Wei came with an army of 70,000. Lu Bu and the others faced an army of 100,000, 20 times their advantage. Faced with such a huge army, no one, no matter how optimistic, could say that they could continue to hold on.

Gao Shun said helplessly: "We have been holding on in Yuanping County for 10 days. We have reached the time ordered by General Dong. It is meaningless to continue contact. On the contrary, it will easily lead us into a situation where the entire army will be annihilated. We must first ask

Ready to retreat."

Lu Bu looked at the mighty Tengjia Army with flags fluttering and said helplessly: "We are ready to retreat."

That night, Lu Bu led his army to withdraw from Yuanping County, and Xu Wei led his army to capture the last county seat in Yanmen County.

And with Yuanping County being captured, Taiyuan County was opened wide! Xu Wei divided his troops and captured Luwu, Yangqu, Fenyang and other county towns. Gu Cao

And at the same time, Taiyuan County, Jinyang City.

Although Dong Zhuo and Xu Wei reached a so-called acting agreement, Dong Zhuo was also a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, it was impossible for him to entrust all his own safety to Lei Gong. Whether this bandit kept his promise, he was preparing to attack Taiyuan County when Lei Gong was ready.

At that time, they also began to reinforce the barracks and sent large armies to occupy the fortresses in various Taiyuan counties!

Lu Bu in Yuanping County was able to hold off the 100,000-strong Tengjia Army for 10 days, which surprised Dong Zhuo. He originally wanted Lu Bu to be cannon fodder, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu actually retained most of the army.

Let Dong Zhuo look at Lu Bu and the others with admiration!

"Lu Bu's men are so powerful. They were able to delay the attack for such a long time in the face of an attack by an army of 100,000 people!"

Li Rudao: "This is because Lei Gong did not pay attention to Lu Bu and the others at all. He only sent Wang Yong's 30,000 vanguard troops to attack Lu Bu, and the battle process was also very simple. Wang Yong's troops continued to use crossbows to attack Lu Bu's army, and at the same time cleared the defenses around Yuanping County.

The fortifications, and then the water source of the moat in Yuanping County were cut off, and we haven’t had any fights until now.”

"And Lei Gong led an army of 70,000 people to clear out local Wubao. It is said that Lei Gong himself summoned the powerful gentry of the entire Yuanping County, and used thunder to flatten a hill in front of them, immediately scaring those people.

They were half dead. Before Lei Gong attacked their Wubao, they took the initiative to hand over all their money, food and land to Lei Gong, just to save their lives! It was they who delayed Lei Gong's time!"

But now Thunder Lord's army is dividing the fields, which gives Lu Bu and the others such a long time.

Dong Zhuo said clearly: "Let me just say, a thief still wants to serve the country and the people, but he is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. Why does Lei Gong do so much just to steal money and food? He captured the entire Taiyuan County. How can he save both sides of the Yellow River?"

The victims are just an excuse he made. At his speed, the victims will starve to death before he can reach the edge of the Yellow River."

“But it’s okay to do this, and Lei Gong is procrastinating, so we can send a battle report to the court. When we send the battle report to the court, we can say that Lei Gong has stormed Quyang City. Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and we are asking for support!”

Li Ru nodded and said: "No!"

Then Dong Zhuo looked at the north and murmured to himself: "I hope Lei Gong can keep his word, otherwise Dong Zhuo's family business will be really in danger!"

"What kind of world is this? I, a good Han military officer, was forced to do this!"

Now Dong Zhuo is in a very bad situation. Not to mention Lei Gong's army, Zhang Yan on the Taihang Mountains is worth a million. Who knows if he will come to Bingzhou after failing to defeat Liu Bei. Moreover, the Yellow Turban bandits are on the rise again in Hedong and Hanoi.

Well, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves are attacking cities and territories everywhere. If they go north to Taiyuan County, Dong Zhuo will really become a sandwich cookie.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo has been leading troops in wars for more than 30 years, and he has never been as dangerous as now. If he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. This is why Dong Zhuo does not want to fight with Lei Gong. If he wants to fight with Lei Gong, he will be finished no matter whether he wins or loses. Only

Only by retaining his Xiliang army can he find a way to survive!

At the same time, the war in Jizhou was fierce!
