Chapter 412: Pacifying the Central Plains

"Although Feng Xiao has a great talent, he has no prestige in the army after all. For the time being, he will be appointed as a military adviser to sacrifice wine, and he will always accompany the military counselors around him. There will be more rewards in the future."

Guo Jia smiled: "Jia just wants to choose a master to make meritorious deeds. As for the rewards, there is no need. The silk cloth and food rewarded by the general in front should be replaced by a good bar."

Liu Ye laughed: "It's easy to say, being filial today is like getting the help of the Marquis Liu, so I ordered Luoyang to send good wine, and have a drink with Fengxiao."

Later, according to what Guo Jia said, Liu Ye put the young commanders who had surrendered among the Yellow Turbans on the chariot, and sent them to the counties of Yanzhou for a tour. At the same time, the generals were dispatched to attack the states and counties.

Ma Chao led 3,000 cavalry to the south and captured Chenliu County; Pang De led 3,000 cavalry to the east to attack Jiyin and Shanyang counties; Yu Jin led 5,000 troops to the north to capture Dongping, Jibei and other places.

The yellow turban bandits who wanted to guard the city strictly already knew Liu Ye's prestige, so they closed the gates of the city one after another, not daring to surrender, but they were moved by the appearance of many yellow turban bandits and handsome men.

Chenliu County.

"Brothers on the top of the city, everyone listen to me, Liu Cheqi has ordered to spare us, and promised to give us the land, everyone go out of the city and surrender!"

A young handsome yellow scarf thief was wearing gold and silver, a gorgeous silk and satin clothes, and he looked like a rich businessman, shouting hard at the top of the city.

The general of the Yellow Turban on the top of the wall said angrily: "He is a liar, how could the officers and soldiers spare us? Besides, Liu Ye has always been cruel and bloodthirsty. Didn't you betray Xu Shuai?"

"I didn't lie to everyone. Liu Cheqi really forgave me and others, and promised to let me and other family members go, and reward the fields to work at home. Don't blame the past. Just listen to my advice and go back to the soil honestly. Plane and eat."

The yellow turban thieves on the top of the city were talking about it when they saw this.

"Let me wait for my little one?"

"And also reward the fields, this."

"Otherwise, just listen to them. If the court repents, it will not be too late for us to rebel."

There was a loud commotion on the top of the city, followed by shouts of killing. It seemed that the yellow scarf bandits in the city had merged for a while, and then the city gate was slowly opened.

"I'm waiting to surrender, please come in!"

This scene was repeated in all the counties and counties of Yanzhou. Guo Jia's strategy had achieved miraculous results. Most of the counties and counties in Yanzhou saw the yellow turban bandit Xiaoshuai come out to surrender, and most of them had already surrendered. Surrender will follow.

It's just that solving the problem of food and grass is a long-standing problem. Although tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured on both sides during the wild jujube war, there are still a large number of yellow scarf thieves in Yanzhou, and the food and grass in Dingtao Daying was given to them by Zhang Jai. Burned clean.

But Zhang Jaw couldn't be blamed, if he hadn't burned down the food and grass of Dingtao Camp, it was still unknown that he would be able to defeat Xu He. Although water and fire are ruthless, there is still some food and grass left in the Dingtao camp, about one or two tenths of it. In addition to the cessation of fighting, the food and grass needed will be less.

On the one hand, Liu Ye collected grain and grass from all over the territory of Yanzhou, and at the same time ordered Xun You to continue to mobilize the existing grain and grass in Guanzhong to transport to Yanzhou, and tried his best to maintain the consumption of grain and grass.

Xun You sent a letter to Liu Ye, arguing that although Yanzhou was rich, there was a large population gap in Guanzhong, and he asked Liu Ye to send some of the Yellow Turban bandits and population of Yanzhou to Guanzhong.

Liu Ye immediately moved to Yanzhou with a population of 200,000 to Guanzhong.

With the suggestions of Xun You, Fazhen and others, as well as the specific implementation of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, the land enfeoffment in Yanzhou finally began. Thanks to Xu He's sweep of Yanzhou and the destruction of Wubao of countless wealthy families, many lands in Yanzhou became unclaimed land, and naturally all of these lands were in the hands of Liu Ye.

After detailed discussions, Liu Ye divided the land in Yanzhou into two types, namely Susukita and Sangtian. Among them, Susukita cannot be hereditary, while Sangtian can be hereditary. In this way, after the death of a generation, a batch of land can be returned to the imperial court. The trend of land annexation is inevitable, and it will definitely intensify in the future. When Susukita returns to the imperial court, it will be able to reward again and ease land conflicts. .

Liu Ye's move can be said to be a long-term consideration. In case of land conflicts in the future, the imperial court can reward the land again to avoid peasant uprisings.

If the land is nationalized, it will undoubtedly repeat the mistakes of Wang Mang. It cannot be adopted now, and it needs to be done step by step.

In November, the imperial court promulgated the "Land Equalization Order", enfeoffing the land in Guanzhong and Yanzhou to farmers. Moreover, these lands are often connected into pieces. If water conservancy facilities are built, it will also facilitate collective irrigation, which is very beneficial to agricultural development.

After defeating Xu He, Liu Ye's prestige of pacifying millions of Yellow Turbans once again swept across the country, with great prestige. He originally wanted to send Ji Ling to take the opportunity to capture Xu Chang and conquer some land from Yanzhou, but Liu Ye did not expect Liu Ye to pacify the Yellow Turbans so quickly. I had no choice but to return to Xuzhou in despair.

But this time, the savings in Guanzhong in the past few years have been wiped out. After that, it will be difficult for Guanzhong to have a large-scale military operation for at least a year. Therefore, Liu Ye stopped and recruited students from the Luoyang Taixue. At the same time, he ordered the recruitment of scholars from poor families to serve as officials in Guanzhong and Yanzhou counties and counties to encourage farming and mulberry.

However, the war in Guanzhong and the Central Plains had just subsided, but the various parts of the Han Dynasty did not calm down.

Yuan Shu failed to enter the Central Plains, but he did not give up the opportunity to expand the land, but turned his aggressive eyes to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou has a vast land, but the population is small, so the degree of development is not deep. Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, is the younger brother of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and he can be regarded as doing something in Yangzhou.

But perhaps Gongsun Zan's surprise attack on Jicheng and the killing of Liu Yu reminded Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu was also planning to attack this Han family clan.

In February 193, Yuan Shu took Sun Jian's son Sun Ce as his general, led Sun Jian's old troops, and attacked Lujiang eastward.

Although Sun Ce was less than 20 years old, he still had the legacy of his father and was brave. He led the soldiers of the Jiangdong army to attack the city and conquer everything.

Sun Ce marched through Juchao County. His sworn brother Zhou Yu abandoned his official position after hearing about it, and led more than ten cavalry to join Sun Ce. Sun Ce was overjoyed and worshiped as a military adviser. Under Zhou Yu's plan, he actively launched an offensive against Lujiang.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was named the governor of Qingzhou, was full of ambition, so he sent someone to pick up his old father Cao Song from Taishan County, who came to Zizi for a reunion, but a little accident happened.
