Reborn Wei Yan

() "This, this—" Liu Biao was also afraid when he heard Kuai Yue's words. Although Xiangyang City is quite strong, there is no guarantee that it will be broken under the joint efforts of Yuan Shu and Wei Yan!

"My lord, the current situation is not as good as others. My subordinates suggest that we should send envoys to Fuyang County, agree with General Zuo's suggestion, and stop the war with Yuan Gonglu!" After hearing Liu Biao's stammering words, Kuai Yue knew that Liu Biao was afraid. Quickly said further!

"What Yidu said is good, but I don't know who to send to Fuyang County?!" Liu Biao finally agreed helplessly!

"My lord, why don't you take a trip!" Kuai Yue said automatically after hearing Liu Biao's words!In fact, Kuai Yue also saw that Liu Biao was just a conservative lord. Although he was talented in governing the local area, he lacked arrogance. If it was a good refuge in a peaceful age, but now it is a troubled time, only governance talents But it is far from enough to gain a foothold in troubled times!

Another purpose of Kuai Yue's trip to Fuyang County this time is to meet the famous "Flying Bear" Zuo General Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, and see what skills this weaker man has!

After the discussions between Liu Biao, governor of Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue carried Liu Biao's personal letter, and a team of guards guarded Wei Yan's territory - Fuyang County, Nanyang County!

Just two days after Liu Biao sent the envoy, Yuan Shu, the later general of Nanyang County, also learned that Wei Yan had defeated the [-] troops of Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia County.

"My lord, if you and General Zuo occupy the entire Jingzhou, who will be the master of Jingzhou at that time?! What will happen if General Zuo strikes back at that time?!" After Yuan Shu had just expressed his thoughts, his subordinates Advisor Li Feng asked Yuan Shu!

At this time, Yuan Shu remembered that although Wei Yan was great, if after occupying Jingzhou, if Wei Yan competed with him for Jingzhou, what would he do? !Will he be Wei Yan's opponent? !After Yuan Shu thought about these things, he was trembling with fear!

Moreover, after years of fighting, Yuan Shu was exhausted and had the idea of ​​a temporary truce. In the end, he decided to send envoys to Fuyang County, and at the same time planted the seeds of guarding against Wei Yan in his heart!

When Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang County and the later general, sent envoys to Fuyang County, Wei Yan, who returned to Fuyang County, was not idle. Ten large and small cities such as Langling in Nanjun!

Although Huang Zhong and Gan Ning encountered a lot of troubles when they attacked this time, without the support of the local county guards, what happened to their opponents based on the strength of these counties, plus Wei Yan? He personally led the troops to defeat Huang Zu's [-]-strong army. Soon after the resistance began, the local county magistrate left the city and surrendered! <, the administration of Langling and Xinxi two new lands, while Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are temporarily stationed in Sui County and Xinxi!

As for the officials of Xinzhancheng, Wei Yan used them according to the same level of surrender before the war. Those who start from a young official!Of course, this has become the standard for treating local officials after Wei Yan's campaign!

Of course, when dealing with the occupied new city, Wei Yan also separates civil and military affairs, with civil officials in charge of local administration and military officers in charge of local military affairs!Implement the separation of civil and military affairs to prevent civil officials from interfering in military affairs and military officials from interfering with administration!

After Xun Yu and Guo Jia arrived at the newly occupied county seat, they first found out the local big landlords, big families, and people who committed crimes in the county, and carried out public trials and judgments, and then distributed the land they got to the landless people. People, as for the usual two big families, they are treated indifferently. As for the big families that Huang Zhong, Gan Ning had already taken refuge in and acted as internal support before dispatching troops, the two appointed themselves to be elected by their families to temporarily serve in the county!

Under the combination of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, the ten newly-occupied cities are also temporarily taken as their own. At this time, Wei Yan's territory is more than three times larger than before!The population also reached 80. Although Wei Yan did not occupy a single county, the territory and population were no worse than those of some small counties!Of course, it is far from enough compared to the number one county in the world like Nanyang County!

Leaving aside the fact that Wei Yan's subordinates settled in a new territory, Kuai Yue, the emissary of Jingzhou, also disguised himself as a business traveler and led the bodyguards to Pingshi County under Wei Yan's rule.Originally, Kuai Yue thought that Wei Yan occupied Pingshi County not long ago, and Wei Yan's army was super powerful, so it must be an abnormal exploitation, but he didn't expect that after entering Pingshi County, he found that all the people were red-faced, and couldn't help asking It was only when we learned that Wei Yan actually distributed the land he had reached, and that under Wei Yan's rule, only normal taxes were collected, and there were no exorbitant taxes. Even all the tax items collected were carved into stone tablets in the county. Officials can respond immediately if they collect randomly!However, after Kuai Yue heard it, he just nodded and sighed that Wei Yan ruled Qingming!

After Kuai Yue entered the county town, he found that the whole county town was extremely clean and tidy, and all the soldiers on guard were well-groomed.Of course, Kuai Yue also remembered that when he entered the city, he did not pay the city entry tax!I just couldn't help but ask the people next to me!

However, Kuai Yue's question caused him trouble, because there are more than 20 guards behind Kuai Yue to protect him!

"Sir, please show your identity certificate or your guarantor in the city?!" When Kuai Yue was asking around, two soldiers came to Kuai Yue and said to Kuai Yue!

Of course, this is also a measure Wei Yan stipulated to prevent hostile forces from entering his city to inquire about intelligence!

"Who is my husband?! Did you, the big soldier, know it casually?! Hurry up and get out of the way!" At this moment, the leader of the guards beside Kuai Yue pushed the soldier away and said!

"Sir, this is the responsibility! Please cooperate, sir!" The soldier said without paying attention!

In the end, after Kuai Yue asked to see the local officials and repeatedly proved his identity, he was released!However, this also made Kuai Yue interested in Wei Yanda, the left general who was about to meet!Then, under the protection of the Feixiong Army, they came to Wei Yan's seat - Fuyang County!

Just when Wei Yan heard the report from Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, he was very happy when a guard reported to Wei Yan that the envoy of Jingzhou, Kuai Yue, had come to visit!

"Kuai Yue?! Hurry up, please!" When Wei Yan heard about the envoy from Jingzhou, he was going to hang him out for a few days, but when he heard that the envoy's name was Kuai Yue, he immediately changed his mind!

This Kuaiyue, styled Yidu, was born in Zhonglu, Xiangyang.In the first year of Chuping (190), Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, was sent to serve as governor of Jingzhou at the imperial edict. strategy.

Liu Biao asked: "At this time, the clan thieves are running rampant, the people are not attached, and Yuan Shu is making reckless moves in Nanyang. So far, the disaster has been difficult to solve. I hope to recruit soldiers here, but I am afraid that the people will not want to join the army. What countermeasures do you two have?"

Kuai Liang first proposed that as long as the rulers can practice benevolence and righteousness, the people will naturally be willing to join them, and conscription will no longer be a problem. The ruler will pay more attention to strategy. Soldiers are also expensive and not expensive. The key is to get their loyalty and support. Yuan Shu is more than brave but not resourceful and decisive. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both warriors, so there is no need to worry; However, the leaders of the sect thieves are mostly greedy and cruel, and their subordinates are also worried about them. Some of my subordinates have self-cultivation and ability. As long as I send them to the sect leader to lure them, the sect leader will definitely come with a crowd Then you only need to seize the opportunity to kill those cruel and immoral people, and then appease the tribes who recruited them. In this way, the soldiers and civilians in this state will be supported by the old and the weak because of your kindness. At that time, your army and people will return If we want to occupy Jiangling in the south and guard Xiangyang in the north, then the eight counties of Jingzhou can be pacified as long as they pass the call to action. In the future, even if Yuan Shu and others come with troops again, there is nothing they can do!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao praised Kuai Yue's strategy as similar to that of a criminal, and adopted his strategy.Later, Kuai Yue induced a total of 55 clan leaders (15 according to one account), and Liu Biao followed Kuai Yue's previous suggestion to kill them all and annex their followers.However, at that time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, the Jiangxia thieves, were still guarding Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to lobby. Zhang and Chen were persuaded and agreed to surrender.

In history, after Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, when Cao Cao heard that Kuai Yue had surrendered, he was very happy, and immediately wrote to Xun Yu, saying: "I am not happy because I got Jingzhou, but because I got Yidu (Kuai Yue) ) and happy." From this we can see Kuai Yue's prestige and talent, as well as his influence surpassing Jingxiang.

Although Wei Yan did not know Cao Cao's evaluation of Kuai Yue in history, Wei Yan did know the role of Kuai Yue in Liu Biao's rule of Jingzhou, and also knew that Kuai Yue was a well-known celebrity in Jingzhou, and that Kuai's family also belonged to Jingzhou A big family!Although Wei Yan wanted to take Kuai Yue as his own, he also knew that it was impossible now, but it would be difficult to say in the future, so now Wei Yan also wanted to draw closer the relationship between himself and Kuai Yue!
