Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

"Reinforcements are here, let me break the enemy!"

Liu Ye shouted loudly, and the five hundred iron horses shouted together.

"Get in!"

Ma Chao brandished a golden gun with a tiger head and three thousand Xiliang cavalry closely followed Liu Ye, slamming forward, breaking through the formation of nearly ten thousand yellow turban thieves like cutting a piece of thin paper.

After the three thousand Xiliang cavalry bypassed the formation of the Zhou Su army, the nearly 10,000 Zhongjun who penetrated into Xu He from the southwest corner easily broke through it.

Ma Chao led three thousand Xiliang iron riders in the nearly ten thousand yellow turban thieves freely. You come and I go, killing blood. All of a sudden, the Yellow Turban thieves were full of corpses and corpses were everywhere.

Although the nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban thieves were all elites under Xu He's command, they were also human beings. Seeing the sharp front of the Xiliang cavalry, they could only support it for a while.

At this time, the Yellow Turban thief had already suffered a lot of deaths and injuries. Liu Ye frowned slightly. This time it was a lot to send troops. Xun You was exhausted and mobilized the manpower and material resources of Guanzhong to be responsible for Liu Ye's fierce battle against the Central Plains.

Liu Ye sent troops this time not only to defeat Xu He and stabilize the Central Plains, but also to feed the war and plunder the population. In history, Cao Cao was in the four battles of the Central Plains, why was he able to become stronger in the war? The reason was that Cao Cao knew how to fight and support the war. He was ordered by the court to pacify Qingzhou and plundered millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, so he was able to fight stronger.

Xu He also has millions of people under his command. Liu Ye is greedy for these million people. If one million people can be obtained, then the war potential of his subordinates will be greatly enhanced, so blindly killing is not a good strategy. .

Thinking of this, Liu Ye immediately yelled, and then he shouted: "The Yellow Turban thief has listened to the generals. Someone is not a murderer. If you are willing to surrender, you can guarantee that you will have a wife and a life. Even if you want to die, you have to think about it for your wife and child, right?"

Nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban thief heard Liu Ye's words, and he was taken aback.

Yeah... It's not that they don't have a family. Xu He relocated their family to Yanzhou. If they died, wouldn't the family be slaughtered by Liu Ye?

Seeing many soldiers stunned, they seemed to really want to surrender. Xu He hurriedly shouted: "Wait, don't fall into Liu Ye's tricks! Liu Ye is a disciple of Huang Fusong. When he was in Qingzhou and Changshe, his subordinates did not know how much blood of his brothers had been contaminated. Can you believe it?"

The Yellow Turban thief who had intended to surrender heard Xu He's words and suddenly came to his senses: Yes, when Liu Ye fought for the Yellow Turban in his early years, he defeated Xu Shuai in Qingzhou, and Changshe accompanied Huangfu Song to defeat Bo Shuai by fire. , Can his words be believed?

Liu Ye said loudly: "A few months ago, the Baibo thief in Hedong was conquered. Li Le, Hu Cai and others in the Baibo thief's position all surrendered. Now they have been named lieutenants of the army, and the stigma of the thief and bandit has been washed away. It can be said that Guangzong Yaozu, his soldiers have also been treated kindly."

"Jade is in front, would you have deceived you to wait?"

After that, Liu Ye looked hard and looked at Xu He: "Listen well, as long as you can abandon the secrets and kill Xu He, you can have no blame for the past, and even divide the fields and let them retired to the fields. Have a good time with the whole family!"

As soon as these words came out, most of the Yellow Turban thieves were stunned and looked at Liu Ye.

Why did the Yellow Turban thief rebel? In fact, the root cause has long been in the period of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was buried two hundred years ago. The reason why Guangwu was able to calm the world quickly was because he took advantage of the power of the family. For example, Deng Yu, the head of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, was born in the Nanyang family, and Liu Xiu also knows the gratitude of his family. Don't hesitate to give rewards, there are a lot of land among them.

After all, land is limited, and the imperial court can never change it out of thin air if it wants to divide the land. During the period of Emperor Guangwu and Emperor Mingzhang, the founding emperors were relatively wise and knew how to reconcile right and wrong. However, as the foreign relatives took office, they were all small emperors who did not know about governance at all, and land mergers became more and more intense. As a result, the land in the hands of farmers has become less and less, and farmers can't eat enough, so naturally they can only rebel.

"If Liu Cheqi doesn't lie to us, will he really give us land?"

"Yeah, what if you lie to us?"

Liu Ye's face was cold, and he inserted the long money on the ground. With his right hand, he pulled out the first knife at his waist and struck his left hand forcefully. A blood stain suddenly appeared in the palm of his left hand, and the blood slowly flowed out from the scar. .

"Some promise here that if you cheat you, you will definitely die!"

Why did the distribution of land to peasants during the Northern Wei Dynasty Emperor Xiaowen received miraculous results, while the Han and Tang dynasties sometimes used land equalization and land restriction orders but failed to achieve results?

The reason is simple. The reason why Emperor Xiaowen dared to allocate land to peasants was because of the long-term war in the north, and the country had a large amount of unowned wasteland in the hands of the country, so it was naturally able to distribute it to peasants who had no land.

Although Xu He swept the Central Plains, but killed a large number of powerful gentry, it can be said that Yanzhou has undergone a major reshuffle under the impact of Xu He, but Xu He has not had time to divide the land, so if Liu Ye is here When the time comes, you can take advantage of the opportunity to master a large number of wasteland in Yanzhou.

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Yanzhou has been the birthplace of Chinese civilization since ancient times. It has been developed for a long time and has a large amount of cultivated land. Therefore, if you can master the land and population of Yanzhou, then Liu Ye's dominance will take a big step forward.

The body was skinned, and the parents of the recipient, seeing Liu Ye scratch their palms, sworn by blood, they suddenly believed.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye strikes while the iron is hot: "However, Xu He is the culprit. He would need to give the court an explanation. As long as he could kill Xu He, he would never break his promise!"

Hearing Liu Ye's words, nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban thieves turned the hilt upside down and looked at Xu He together.

Xu He suddenly felt surrounded by a pack of wolves. The gaze of nearly ten thousand Yellow Turban thief stared at him, and the gaze that looked at Xu He seemed to take him alive.

Xu He was taken aback for a moment, and his mouth was dumbfounded: "You...you, what do you want to do?"

"This commander is your commander, is it possible that you want to commit the crime?"

A handsome man gritted his teeth and raised his head and said: "Xu Shuai, I wanted to be happy in Qingzhou at the beginning. You must lead us out to rebel and say something to do something. Now Liu Cheqi is kind, and you will wait for my life. ...Just make yourself!"

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha!" Xu He was taken aback for a moment, laughed out loud, his laughter was extremely bleak, like an old crow scratching and calling.
