Chapter 334: The Disaster Day of the Bingzhou Aristocratic Family
After the tasks were arranged, everyone filed out.
On the way to the temporary camp of the cavalry, Zhang Xiu and Pang De walked up to Lu Lingqi.
Zhang Xiu took a step forward, clasped his fists and asked Lu Lingqi for advice: "General Lu, may I ask if there is any deeper meaning in Lu Qiaoqi's words?"
The stubborn forces were to be eradicated, but which ones were considered stubborn forces and to what extent they wanted to eradicate them? Lu Yan did not explain clearly, so Zhang Xiu and Pang De were a little confused.
Lu Lingqi glanced at Zhang Xiu and Pang De and said softly: "Sir, what you mean is to use this opportunity to eradicate the powerful nobles who are unwilling to surrender to Duke Cao."
"Hiss!" Zhang Xiu and Pang De took a deep breath when they heard this, "Aren't you afraid that they will unite to resist us by doing this?"
The rebellion in Hedong was caused by the local gentry and gentry.
This gang of local snakes not only monopolizes local wealth and official appointments, but now even wants to embezzle the entire Hedong County so that they can continue to be their own local emperors.
Hedong has set a precedent, and there are bound to be many wealthy families in Bingzhou who are secretly planning to make a move. At this time, using a gentle policy will only embolden the arrogance of the local powerful people. If they feel that the court is weak and can be bullied, they will intensify their efforts and will never say anything to you.
Benevolence, righteousness, morality, kindness and mercy.
In troubled times, important rules should be used. Lu Yan's instructions are to use the fastest time to disintegrate the unformed rebellion storm in Bingzhou with the force of thunder. He can win over a group of wealthy families who are willing to surrender to the court, and clean up a group of stubborn resistance who are still working on it.
The emperor dreams of being powerful. Only by stabilizing the rear of Bingzhou can they safely defend against the foreigners and send troops to attack the rebels in Hedong County.
When the wealthy families from all over Yanzhou betrayed Cao Cao and led Lu Bu to take control of Yanzhou, Cao Cao almost fell into the hands of Lu Bu and the powerful families in Yanzhou.
Later, Man Chong relied on the Tian family of Dongjun to win over a group of powerful families who had taken refuge with Cao Cao, and in turn suppressed other forces that opposed Cao Cao.
After being suppressed, many local gentry and gentry in Yanzhou followed Chen Gongyuan to Qingzhou; those who failed to leave were almost all suppressed at the bottom and unable to move.
It was precisely because the voices opposing the Cao Group were eliminated that Cao Cao later implemented Lu Yan's new household registration and Lijia system in Yanzhou, which was able to proceed smoothly. The effects of the New Deal in Yanzhou and Xuzhou are still visible to the naked eye to this day.
of.
Before, Lu Yan had no excuses when he wanted to move the gentry and gentry in Bingzhou. Now that they wanted to jump out, it gave Lu Yan the opportunity to clean up some of the people who were obstructing them and unwilling to be honest and peaceful.
After receiving Lu Lingqi's explanation, Pang De and Zhang Xiu finally understood Lu Yan's intentions.
"Split the enemy into pieces... Lu Qiaoqi is indeed a master of military arts!" Pang De couldn't help but admired.
Zhang Xiu turned to look at Pang De, couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you think Lu Hussar's army has never been defeated, it's a joke?"
When Lu Lingqi heard them praising her husband, she immediately showed a knowing smile and said: "Okay, stop praising... business is more important."
"Yes, let's clean up these scum as soon as possible so that we can send troops to help Lu Qiaoqi suppress the rebellion in Hedong." Zhang Xiu turned back and cupped his fists towards Lu Lingqi.
"According to me, Lieutenant Zhong lacks Lu Qiaoqi's iron fist, otherwise Dongjun would not have rebelled so easily, and even harmed Hongnong."
Seeing how Pang De seemed to have high regard for Lu Yan, Lu Lingqi suddenly felt that this guy could be a winner.
But now Pound is still Ma Teng's subordinate in name, so poaching people from behind is not a good idea.
"Two generals, let's divide our troops into three groups." Lu Lingqi said to Zhang Xiu and Pang De: "Remember, if they are willing to surrender to the imperial court, we can leave them a way out, and even promise some benefits if necessary.
If they dare to resist stubbornly, then you two don't have to be polite! Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is still very effective!"
Zhang Xiu and Pound immediately clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, General Zhendong, for your advice. I finally understand!"
...
Bingzhou Lu Yan has already begun to take action.
On the other side, the anti-Cao coalition composed of Gao Gan, Zhang Baiqi, Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others has also successively captured Anyi, Jiangxian, Yuncheng and other places.
However, when faced with the Yi (yi) family area where Du Ji was active frequently, the high-ranking coalition forces found it difficult to move forward, and Du Ji even took the opportunity to ambush several times on the way.
Although the loss was not huge, it was a huge blow to morale, which made senior officials extremely angry.
A small Yishi County has not even seen the county seat after so many days. An army of more than 30,000 people can't do anything to Du Ji's more than 7,000 people. How can it compete with Cao Cao?
The more Gao Gan thought about it, the angrier he became, but he still had nothing to do with Du Ji... He couldn't find anyone, so what's the use of being angry anymore.
It turned out that Du Ji led a team that expanded from four thousand to a thousand people and had been hiding in the mountains and forests of Nanyuan.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Once you enter, you are like a drop in the ocean. Finding Du Ji in such deep mountains and old forests is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But if you ignore Du Ji, he will jump out and stab you in the back at any time, which is really confusing.
Senior cadres and others are extremely annoyed.
Just when Gao Gan had a headache for Du Ji, news suddenly came from his spies staying in Bingzhou.
An orderly soldier flew on horseback to report. When he was more than ten meters away from Gao Gan, he suddenly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee towards Gao Gan, held up a lacquered letter with both hands and said: "Report! General! There is an urgent military situation from Bingzhou!"
The senior official took the secret letter, tore open the envelope and unfolded it. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Lu Yanshuzi! Who gave you the courage to do such nonsense!"
Fan Xian saw that Gao Gan was angry, so he asked: "General Chariot and Cavalry, what happened in Bingzhou?"
Gao Gan raised his head and said through gritted teeth: "That Lu Yan was so bold that he actually sent troops to massacre my Bingzhou nobles!"
Fan Xian and Wei Gu were shocked when they heard this, "How dare Lu Yan massacre the nobles? Isn't he afraid that the world's richest families will attack him in groups?"
While Fan Xian and Wei Gu were talking, the senior official hurriedly read the secret letter.
After reading the secret letter, the senior cadre was not as angry as he was at first.
Seeing Gao Gan's frown, Wei Gu asked again: "Is there any unfavorable news in the letter?"
Gao Gan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "While Lu Yan was massacring the powerful powerful men in Bingzhou, he also divided and attracted a group of nobles...that group of traitors!"
Fan Xian and Wei Gu looked at each other and sighed: "Divide and win over, suppress dissidents... This Lu Yan has extraordinary methods!"
"When all the families in Bingzhou who dared to resist Lu Yan are wiped out, I'm afraid Bingzhou will completely fall to Cao Cao."
"Then Lu Yan is said to be at the top of his civil and military ranks. He has never been defeated in the army for more than ten years... If we go to Bingzhou, can we beat him?"
"Yeah... Even Yuan Benchu was defeated, why should we people fight him?"
"It's better to stand firm in Hedong first and then talk about other things..."
