Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 215 The 28 Generals of Yuntai ([-])

Two months later
Zhu'a County

"kill!"

"what--"

tread!tread!tread!
"Qingzhou soldiers are too weak, almost let me win without a sense of honor, almost."

"Haha~"

Geng Yan, the great Sima of the Han Dynasty, wantonly mocked the Qingzhou soldiers who "guarded" Zhu'a. He just used the old-fashioned tactic of encircling three queues and one, and let the Qingzhou soldiers, who were already weak in fighting will, choose to escape from the only gap.

And his Han army took the opportunity to chase down the fleeing Qingzhou soldiers and captured Zhu'a. The process should not be too easy.

Wang Ba, the prefect of Shanggu County on the side, smiled. Although their Youzhou soldiers suffered heavy losses when they attacked Liaodong a few years ago, Youzhou has been fighting against the Hu people all the year round. The Qingzhou soldiers who suppressed the mud legs were strong.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the border counties is indeed far stronger than that of the soldiers in the interior, there is no way.

When Geng Yan was busy taking over Zhu'a City, the three local tyrants in Zhu'a County sent their slaves to comfort the Han army.

"Bless the Zhao family!"

"Congratulations to the Asahi family!"

"Congratulations to Ah Han's family!"

"Let's eat pots of pulp to welcome the general!"

I wish the children of the three powerful families brought more than a dozen carriages, which were filled with food and wine, and there was also a carriage filled with three young and beautiful maids.

These food, wine and beautiful maids were presented to the conquerors by these local snakes, in order to express their willingness to submit, hope to cooperate with the conquerors, and help the new conquerors manage and exploit the local people.

The tyrants are like this, whoever comes, they welcome whoever, as long as the other party doesn't beat the local tyrants and divide the land.

Except for the insurgents who wanted to fight the local tyrants to divide the land, no matter who came, they would eat pots of milk to welcome the king.

"Yeah." Geng Yan nodded and didn't say much. He had seen this kind of scene a lot, and even their Geng family took refuge in Liu Xiu, the "Conqueror of Hebei" in this way.

Most people are unwilling to risk their lives and wealth, and they are playing with the wind.

Whoever wins, who they help.

Whoever wins is the Master Wang.

Although the owner of Zhu Acheng has changed from a big man at the beginning to Wang Mang, from Wang Mang to Liu Xuan, from Liu Xuan to Zhang Bu, and now from Zhang Bu to Liu Xiu, the king of the city has changed. Flag, the same is the powerful men.

The county magistrate of Zhu'acheng has changed, but the actual rulers of Zhu'acheng are still the three powerful families of Zhao, Wei and Han.

The master is still the master, and the mud legs are still the mud legs. It seems that the dynasty has changed, but except for the change of the emperor and the name of the country, nothing else has changed.

The county magistrate of flowing water is tyrannical and powerful.

Naturally, it is impossible for the new regime to harm the tycoons who are willing to cooperate.

After all, if you kill all the tycoons in this county who are willing to cooperate today, and tomorrow the tyrants in other counties will choose not to cooperate with you, then your regime will not be able to rule the world stably.

Appease the tyrants who are willing to cooperate, slaughter the tyrants who are not willing to cooperate, divide the property of the tyrants who are not willing to cooperate as rewards into soldiers, and then let those tyrants who are willing to cooperate help their regime rule the mud legs. What a dynasty is doing.

Because only these tyrants have the money to cultivate talents who are educated and understand management, and they are also needed to manage the mud legs. If they are all killed, then who will the new regime let to manage the mud legs?Is it possible to let a group of uneducated soldiers manage it?This kind of military government rule is difficult to last!
Therefore, the cruel reality is that no matter whether the ruler is willing to cooperate or not, he must cooperate with the local tyrants. Those who are unwilling to cooperate will face countless rebellions and harassment.

Geng Yan appointed one of his cronies as Zhu'a's false county magistrate (acting magistrate), and asked him to cooperate with three powerful families to manage Zhu'a County. Officials came to wish Acheng the official county magistrate.

Seeing that Geng Yan was willing to cooperate, the children of the three powerful families in Zhu'a County breathed a sigh of relief.

They don't care who will rule Zhu'a County, they only care about whether the new ruler can cooperate with them and let them continue to be high in Zhu'a County.

"The general is so benevolent and righteous!"

"I didn't expect that I would meet the teacher of benevolence and righteousness in the sage book in my lifetime!"

The powerful disciples praised Geng Yan one after another, and they offered all their praises.

After all, most armies rob everyone they see, just like bandits, whether they are powerful or ordinary people, they will rob them as soon as they see them!
And an army like the big man who only robs the common people and does not rob the powerful is of course a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!

"All the food is stationed in Zhu'a City, and the army goes straight to Linzi!"

Geng Yan used Zhu'a, which had just been captured, as his granary to store grain, and then led the army to move forward, striving to eliminate Zhang Bu who ruled Qingzhou as soon as possible.

Before setting off, Geng Yan still did not forget to privately tell his temporarily appointed county magistrate Zhu A: "Don't let the local tyrants manage our food, or we will inevitably run short."

It is common for powerful people to do this kind of thing, and there are very few people who don't do this kind of thing. That's why Da Sima Gengyan specially told his cronies, for fear that there would be problems with his food and grass, and the army would be short of food.

"Understood." The fake county magistrate nodded, indicating that he understood.

Before leaving, Geng Yan did not forget to interrogate several Qingzhou prisoners of war: "How many soldiers are there in Qingzhou?"

These prisoners of war are all generals of the Qingzhou Army, with high positions and powers, so they know more information than ordinary soldiers. They replied: "The total force is [-] to [-], and most of them are stationed in the counties where Zhu'a went to Linzi. "

"[-] to [-]?" Geng Yan was a little surprised, Qingzhou can support an army of [-] to [-]?
You know, in Youzhou, even if they lost less than [-] troops, their muscles and vitality were severely injured, which was almost equivalent to annihilation of the entire army.

The news of Liu Xiu's attack on Liu Yong and Dong Xian had already reached Geng Yan, so he asked again: "Then how many people did Liu Yong and Dong Xian bring to Qingzhou?"

"Both of them defeated the future with remnants of soldiers, and the total number is only more than 3000." The prisoner of war answered truthfully, and then took the initiative to reveal more information for his own life: "Also, Mr. Zhang also hired Liaodong County soldiers joined the battle, but the number of Liaodong County soldiers is very small, it seems that there are only 2000 people."

"What? Liaodong?!"

Geng Yan was shocked. Four years ago, when he set off for the first time in his life, he was defeated by a girl from Liaodong. He lost the first battle, which became a stain in his life.

He also privately persuaded Emperor Liu Xiu to destroy Liaodong first.

But Emperor Liu Xiu obviously would not ignore the country's strategic plan just because of his personal grievances. It is impossible to ignore the important Guanzhong and instead go to fight the remote and worthless Liaodong.

His father almost emptied the entire Shanggu County before he reluctantly redeemed him.

After returning to Shanggu County, he was arranged by his father to follow Liu Xiu to fight in Guanzhong, and later he fought against a group of peasant rebels in Hebei.

In the process of destroying the Red Eyebrow Army and the Hebei Bronze Horse Army, Geng Yan made great achievements in battle, so he was promoted to the Grand Sima, and his father Geng Kuang also went to Luoyang to spend his later years.

Hearing the news that Liaodong was also participating in the war, Geng Yan's desire to fight became even stronger, and he really wanted to avenge his shame.

After being captured, he was taken to a deserted island by a ship. He didn't know where the deserted island was, because the ship never stopped, and he was directly transported overseas from the Liaoxi Corridor. place.

"Damn female thief, don't let me see you, or I will capture you alive!"

Geng Yan gritted his teeth, remembering his miserable life on the desert island for several months.
