After two years, although the pattern of the world has changed, the two princes of Runan Yuan and Xuzhou Chen have finally been annexed, but the northern pattern has not changed.
In the past two years, because of Yuan Shao's troops in Hejian, Lu Bu did not continue to attack Youzhou, and from time to time took people to walk around the grassland, and regarded the grassland north of western Liaoning as his own back garden.
And for the imperial court, from the fourth year of Xingping, the county school has been opened, to now, the first batch of students have been recognized by the county school, under the requisition of the imperial court, was transferred to Luoyang, and some chose to go to Chang'an lecture hall or Luoyang Academy to continue to study more in-depth knowledge, and at the same time will teach the county's coursework, according to Liu Xie's idea, when the time is ripe, the county school after three years of courses will be separated, composed of county school, state school, and finally Chang'an lecture hall and Luoyang Academy two academies, But this is clearly not enough.
It took five years to improve the township school and the county school, and it will take at least ten years or more to completely erect the entire education system.
The first batch of students who came out of the county school was enough to cope with the current situation, and there were 7,000 students who graduated from the county schools in each county, which sounds like a lot, but among them, there are those who study the direction of industry, there are also those who study the direction of agriculture, and there are scholars who study business and pure academic research, most of them have joined the Ministry of Industry or the Royal Commercial Bank and the Ministry of Agriculture, and there are only about 1,700 people who can really manage a place.
But for Liu Xie, these people are enough for him to pacify Jizhou and Youzhou.
At the beginning of April, Liu Xie personally crossed the river with these students and spent ten days arriving in Liyang.
"Has Yuan Shao been very regular lately?"
Looking at the information handed over by Huang Zhong, Liu Xie smiled and shook his head, in the past two years, Yuan Shao seems to have been a lot more restrained, without the impetuousness of the past, steady and steady, step by step, cultivating people's livelihood, rectifying armaments, Jizhou family dignitaries, to contribute, the entire Jizhou, like an iron bucket.
"As long as His Majesty gives an order, the last general will guarantee that within a month, Yecheng will be broken," Huang Zhong said proudly.
"There's no need to go through the hassle."
Liu Xie waved his hand and said with a smile: "Jizhou, it is already in my bag, how can you break it and make the lives miserable for no reason, give me an order to all the departments, just take over the city, let's start with the Bohai Sea."
"Uh" Huang Zhong was slightly stunned, but he didn't know where Liu Xie's confidence came from, so he had to nod.
In mid-April, Guan Yu sent troops from the plains, and the troops entered the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao urgently summoned the army to the area Guan Yu, however, without waiting for the troops to arrive, in the Bohai Sea, a large number of merchants rebelled, gathered servants to guard, gathered in one place, opened the door to the city, Guan Yu was almost as Liu Xie said, it was all the way to receive the city, until receiving Nanpi, but half a month, it was also frustrated that led the Hejian army to arrive in time and control the city, so that Guan Yu's troops did not drive straight into the river, but Rao was so, half a month captured the entire county, It still makes Jizhou extremely frightened.
This Bohai Sea is Yuan Shao's starting place, when Yuan Shao had not annexed Han Fu, this is his foundation, he really managed the old times, the roots are deep, but now in less than half a month, it was completely accepted by the imperial court, how can Yuan Shao not be shocked and angry.
"It's too naïve, now he is exhausted and lonely, even if those families are willing to have the same heart as Yuan Shao, but those traders who are under the suppression of the family are still willing to come with them to fight against the imperial court I don't even have to do anything, just let the royal merchant house give them a signal, and these traders will not hesitate to defect to our army."
Liyang, Liu Xie did not come to the battle formation in person this time, but he was very insightful about the battle situation, and after getting the battle report, he was not impressed by the surprise of the generals and said with a smile.
"That" Huang Zhong and the others don't know what to say now, they were already ready to prepare for a big game, who knows that the land of a county was almost taken by the soldiers without blood, making them feel that they couldn't vent it with a breath, looking at Liu Xie with a light face, Huang Zhong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, other counties, is it the same?"
"Not necessarily."
Liu Xie's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but then, it made the hearts of a military general come up: "It depends on how Yuan Shao reacts, I really want to see what Yuan Shao will do next." ” For the first time, a group of generals suddenly had an urgent hope, hoping that Yuan Shao could be stronger, and after three years of confrontation here, at least there should be a battle to fight, although in order to avoid the destruction of life, it is better to use fewer soldiers, but the merits of the generals are taken down by the sword, and now such a bloodless battle to take the city, although for the imperial court, it is the best result, but for the generals, it is a little panicked.
In Yecheng, when Yuan Shao got the news that the entire Bohai Sea had fallen and the merchants rebelled, he was also a little confused, but then there was a kind of anger that he had never felt before.
After two years of hibernation, the soldiers have gone through the horses, in order to one day, to be able to be ashamed, but Liu Xie didn't give him this opportunity at all, as soon as he came up, he directly took away one of Yuan Shao's counties, and Yuan Shao's starting place was gone, which made Yuan Shao how willing.
"These damn traders are profit-seeking" When he learned of the fall of Bohai, Yuan Shao's tyrannical mood grew even more wildly.
The "lord" came in from outside the door, saw that everyone was there, was slightly stunned, then looked at Yuan Shao, bowed and said: "Youzhou urgent report, the traders of Youbeiping suddenly rioted, assisted Lu Bu to break the city, assassinated Shi Han Yan died in the chaos, the Youzhou defense army collapsed at the touch of a button, Youzhou is in danger, please the lord quickly order the prince and send troops, cut off Lu Bu's way back, and will definitely be able to recapture Youzhou." ” When Yuan Shao heard this, his breath suffocated, and Lu Bu also started to do it at this time "Zhengnan doesn't know, now that Gong Fu and Guan Yu have been restrained in the Nanpi area, I'm afraid there is no time to clone at this moment."
Xin Bi on the side bitterly told Guan Yu about taking down the Bohai Sea to the judge.
When the judge heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, the situation in Jizhou had fallen to such a situation "Chuan Wu order, all cities, but all traders, will be put in prison, dare to resist, kill no matter what" Yuan Shao risked a strong killing machine, and said calmly.
If it weren't for these profit-seeking, how could Bohai be so easily attacked by Guan Yu and take Bohai without blood, achieving Guan Yu's prestige, but he Yuan Shao became a stepping stone to achieve Guan Yu's prestige, and the culprits were these vendors.
"Whoa" For Yuan Shao's order, there are not many people who reject it, just businessmen, in recent years, under the advocacy of the imperial court, more and more arrogant, and even rely on the merchants under the wealthy families of various families, they all have some intention of wanting to stand on their own, and now Yuan Shao has finally made up his mind to rectify the merchants, which is a good thing.
The judge felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong, but he couldn't say anything, and he didn't say much at the moment, but continued: "Lord, the situation is critical now, although there is a prince and Guan Yu in the river, but the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are now stranded in Hebei, in addition to Guan Yu, there are also Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Pang De's four-way army, not counting Guan Yu, there are still 100,000 troops, and they must be guarded against."
Yuan Shao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, according to the continuous spying in the past two years, the actual strength of the imperial court stationed in Hebei is now 160,000, of which at least 60,000 are the surrendered troops of the year, but now, they have become the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and they have moved on the former robes, and they don't know what politeness means, these people, under the two years of bewitchment and training of the imperial court, have completely deviated from Yuan Shao and become loyal lackeys of the imperial court, which undoubtedly makes Yuan Shao very annoyed, but helpless.
If it weren't for the addition of these surrendered troops, the imperial court would not have been able to have such sufficient troops.
"Lone naturally knows."
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately order to summon and Murong Ping to lead the army to defend, wait to sweep away the troubles first, and then deal with Liu Xie's children."
There are countless traders in Jizhou, how many of them are spies of the imperial court, Yuan Shao doesn't know, now that the war is imminent, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to screen them one by one, so he can only beat these people down with one rod, and then pay attention to these people when he gets through this catastrophe.
On the same day, with Yuan Shao's order, the entire Jizhou counties that are still under Yuan Shao's hands began to arrest traders, from inns, restaurants, pharmacies, grain stores, to peddlers, foot merchants, street vendors, as long as they are related to businessmen, all of them were imprisoned, and even in many places, there was a situation where prisons could not accommodate so many businessmen, Jizhou prisons were almost full everywhere, and what followed was a depression in the entire territory of Jizhou.
"How can the lord be so unwise" Hejian, Chengping, when Fu Zhi received the news, Yuan Shao's order had been issued for five days, when he learned the news, Fu Zhi couldn't help but be shocked, if it weren't for the fear that Guan Yu would take the opportunity to attack Hejian, Fu Zhi really wanted to run to Yecheng immediately to stop Yuan Shao's stupid move.
"Sir, what is wrong with the lord" Guo Yuan looked at him puzzled: "If it weren't for these traders, how could Bohai be so easily attacked." ” "This is a strategy for the sword to go sideways, only because our army is defenseless, will let Guan Yu have a chance, this strategy can be no more" frustrated sighed and said: "Even if you want to be prepared, you can also make all the vendors disband the guards, strengthen monitoring, naturally it can be solved, now the lord is so extreme, it will only make the people of Jizhou resentful, not to mention, medicine, food, are the foundation of the people's survival, but now they don't ask, all go to prison, if the people have pain, how to get the soldiers injured and where to get the medicine is not good, quickly prepare pen and ink, I will explain this to my lord at once." t1706231537:
