Chapter 210: Defeat Baibo first
Going against the Wang family? Lu Bu has never thought about it like this. Not to mention Amo, even because of Wang Yun's help to him, there is no way he would touch the Wang family.
Jia Xu said, "I know that my lord will not deal with the Wang family, but if you want to change the policy, if you leave the Wang family alone, regardless of whether the new policy can be implemented smoothly, even if it can be implemented, others will treat you unfairly.
If you express dissatisfaction, how can your lord convince the public in the future?"
"Furthermore, my lord now has many soldiers and generals, but the only civil servants available are me and Bohou. Whether my lord wants to improve taxation, improve people's livelihood, or politics, we can't finish it even if we are exhausted. My lord,
You still need to recruit a group of practical talents to work for you, and now almost all the big families in Taiyuan County have inextricable ties with the Wang family."
"Due to the turmoil in Bingzhou, some middle- and lower-class families also relied on big families. These people formed a group, so they were able to keep Jinyang intact after the Bingzhou army withdrew. If the lord wants to recruit talents, he cannot leave the Wang family alone.
, if you want to change the policy, you must first discuss it with the Wang family."
Hearing this, Du Ji disagreed and said, "According to what Mr. Wenhe said, wouldn't the lord have to rely on the Wang family and constrain the Wang family for everything except military affairs in the future? If this continues, it will be the Wang family or the lord who has the final say in the future annexation of the state.
Calculate?"
Jia Xu said, "I think there is no need to worry about this issue. The main branch of the Wang family is the late Wang Situ. As far as I know, among the three sons of Situ Gong, the eldest and second are not very talented, and the third does not like officialdom.
If you only love doing business, you will only have an adopted daughter who is as wise as a demon."
Having said this, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "I have been in contact with that little fox for a while at Sishui Pass. Amo is open-minded, far-sighted, and kind-hearted. She is really a rare woman in this world.
Looking at Wang Situ's love for her, her voice in the Wang family is probably more important than her three brothers. If the lord marries her, it will be even more powerful, and the Wang family will become the biggest help for the lord to quickly stabilize the state."
"And based on the talents of the three sons of the Wang family, the lord does not have to worry about how they will become monsters in the future. When the territory slowly expands in the future, the lord can recruit other talents. In the meantime, he can also win over and divide some families that are dependent on the Wang family. He is not afraid of the Wang family.
The family is a big one. But I think if Amo comes back, she will solve some of the problems of the big family by herself."
"Let's discuss this later!" Lu Bu suddenly said.
Regarding the Wang family, Lu Bu's current attitude is: if the Wang family is willing to be of the same mind as him, he will naturally support and use the Wang family. But if he is unwilling to work for him, Lu Bu will not target the Wang family. At most, he will become a rich man from now on.
.But judging from Wang Yun's efforts to help him, the Wang family is already on his side.
"This time we robbed a lot of property from Xi County, which is completely enough to support the food and grass needs of the Baibo Army and the subsequent resettlement expenses for the troops." Lu Bu said.
Bingzhou is short of people, so Lu Bu's first goal is to defeat the Baibo army first and attract these thieves to enrich the population. According to Du Ji, if there are people who cultivate the land, there will be taxes to collect. If so much land is left to be barren, how can we reform it?
My own foundation cannot be strengthened.
Let me mention the innovation policy today. It is not easy to implement it in detail. It is better to increase the population first. This can only be achieved through one or two wars. In Lu Bu's view, problems that can be solved through war cannot be solved.
Calculate the problem.
Du Ji said, "This year's autumn harvest has just passed, so it is the best time to send troops. If my lord wants not to delay next year's spring plowing, it is best to pacify some of the thieves at the end of the year and settle them down."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Actually... My lord can collect grain from each family in the name of Bai Bo, and there is no need to force it. It is up to each family to provide as much grain as they want. It is just a good way to test the attitude of these families towards you."
Since the death of Zhang Yi, the previous governor of Bingzhou, Bingzhou can be said to have been in a state of leaderlessness. Although Dong Zhuo served as the shepherd of Bingzhou, he did not come to take up the post. Lu Bu brought troops mainly to Pingnan Huns. Later, Lu Bu served as the shepherd of Bingzhou.
, he himself did not come, and sent Du Ji and Gao Shun to act as agents, but the prefects and county magistrates did not take them seriously.
It is because there is always a lack of a core leader that all the counties and families in the state will spontaneously form groups to resist the bandits. Now that Lu Bu is here, some people in these groups will split off and look for Lu Bu as a backer again.
Through this collection of food and fodder, we can see who are sincerely like-minded and who still want to stick to one faction, so that we can be more targeted in future liquidation.
Lu Bu nodded, "Bohou, this is a good idea. When the governor of the three counties comes over in two days, he will inform him of the matter and ask him to wait for the grain and grass to be sent to Jinyang within a month."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shun and said, "Zi Yan, now let's talk to everyone about the Baibo Army!"
Gao Shun had been in Bingzhou for more than half a year and had basically explored all the forces. He stood up and walked up to the top, opened a self-drawn map and hung it on the wall.
This map is a bit rough. It only marks some major cities, rivers and mountains, and the distance ratio between them is inconsistent. However, it is enough to analyze the Baibo Army, and even the Black Mountains, and the Huns' sphere of influence.
Gao Shundao said, "Since the Baibo uprising in the Baibo Valley in Hedong last October, there have been more than 100,000 thieves. They once united with the exiled Southern Xiongnu chanyu Yufuluo, Kou Shangdang, Taiyuan, Hanoi and other counties. Now they are mainly entrenched in Hedong.
,Shangdang
In the two counties, Guo Tai, the leader of Baibo, was stationed in Linfen County, Hedong County, Yang Xian (pronounced Tongxian) was stationed in Xiangling, and Yang Feng, Li Le, and Hu Cai were all stationed in Xuushi and Gaodu in the south of Shangdang. The details of each county are
It’s unclear how many troops there are.”
"Also, Yu Fuluo's brother Hu Chuquan led 3,000 Xiongnu soldiers and was stationed in Changzi County. When Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, Yu Fuluo attached himself to Yuan Shao with Sima Zhangyang, the Shangdang prefect's account. These two men are now stationed
In the dirty city on the west side of Yecheng in Jizhou."
Gao Shun paused and continued, "Although Bai Bo is a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, his combat power cannot be underestimated. Last year he defeated Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu, and also fought many times with Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and both sides won and lost."
Hua Xiong said, "Both Niu Fu and Wang Kuang are mediocre people. There is nothing strange about defeating these two people. What do you think we should do now?"
Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu, "Please let me know the specific strategic arrangements!"
Lu Bu recalled his dream and realized that he had little interaction with these bandits and did not know much about Bai Bo's leaders. However, he knew that after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he sent Li Jue to continue fighting against Bai Bo's army. Their leader Guo Tai was killed by Li Jue.
After the death of Mrs. Guo, Bai Bo, who had no strong cohesion in the first place, became like a piece of scattered sand, fighting on their own. Yang Feng even surrendered directly to Li Jue.
Now, due to his own intervention, the battle between the heroes of Guandong against Dong Zhuo has ended early. Dong Zhuo also died earlier than in history. Mrs. Guo also escaped with her life. Now she wants to attract the Baibo thieves. Mrs. Guo
