The World of Yellow Sky

The patrolling cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army are all wearing iron armor, wearing bows and knives, and holding lances. , that kind of thing can be known just by looking at it.

After entering the territory of Ji County, after they saw those Yellow Turban soldiers in sharp clothes and the extremely chilling Yellow Turban barracks, the fear grew rapidly like poisonous weeds, and it was difficult to contain.

The military capacity of the Yellow Turban Army is several times, even ten times, or a hundred times that of the soldiers under the command of Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The military equipment possessed by the Yellow Turban Army is incomparable to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Taiping Dao has been widely spread in Liangzhou now, and their hearts were originally more respectful, but now after seeing the military appearance of the Yellow Turban Army, they are more frightened.

And after entering the government office of Ji County, everyone was even more on pins and needles, because the soldiers on duty at the government office of Ji County were the most elite yellow angels in the Yellow Turban Army.

They were indeed frightened by the yellow angels. The yellow angels on duty in the government office were all dressed in burqa belts, with scriptures written all over their battle robes, and they all wore hideous masks, helmets and armor, and their behavior was even worse. It's straight-forward.

Those patrolling yellow angels almost have the same pace, really like the rumored yellow turban wrestlers transformed from soybeans.

According to rumors, the yellow angel is not a mortal, but a Taoist soldier transformed from soybeans with immortal methods.

There are many versions of the rumors about the Yellow Turban Army in Liangzhou. In fact, there was only one version at first, which was the version spread by the Eagle Guards.

However, with the spread, one spreads ten, ten spreads one hundred, and it is inevitable to be embellished, and the rumors become a bit outrageous.

As a result of the popularity of the rumors, the status of Taiping Dao in Liangzhou has risen sharply, and the incense of Taoist temples built in various places has hardly been cut off, and Xu An's prestige has also increased a lot.

Originally in Liangzhou, the Han and Qiang people lived together, and there were bound to be conflicts with each other, but since the Yellow Turban Army entered the cities and the officials of the Yellow Turban Army began to enforce the law, the probability of such incidents has plummeted.

Chapter 599 Afraid of authority but not of virtue

"Yi Di, fearing authority but not being virtuous, there is some truth in what he said."

Standing in the house behind the main hall, Xu An looked thoughtfully at the carefully seated Qiang Di envoys sitting in the main hall through the screen.

"Awe-inspiring but not virtuous..."

A hint of surprise appeared in Yan Zhong's eyes.

"Where did Ming Gong hear this sentence, but it is true...it is quite correct."

Xu An was slightly taken aback. This sentence came from "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was a sentence said by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

But he definitely can't tell Yan Zhong like this now.

But for the answers to these questions, Xu An has always had a universal answer.

"This sentence comes from the "Taiping Jing"."

Yan Zhong smiled slightly and said, "I am more and more interested in the "Taiping Jing" now."

"However, I need to remind Duke Ming that the Han and Qiang peoples in Liangzhou have lived together for a long time, and we cannot treat them as barbarians. The Xianbei tribes in the north may be completely fearful of power and not virtuous, but some of the Qiang and Di in Liangzhou can also be regarded as barbarians. Germany."

In the past, Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, was defeated, and the soldiers of the six counties were defeated. Han Sui and others besieged Hanyang County, and Fu Xie defended the city to the death.

At that time, thousands of Hu cavalry from Beidi County followed Han Sui to attack the city. In gratitude for Fu Xie's kindness, they kowtowed outside the city together, begging to send Fu Xie back to his hometown.

Fu Xie did not surrender in the end, and led the only soldiers out of the city to fight, and died in the battle, but it was those Hu cavalry that Fu Qian, Fu Xie's son, was able to return home, and the rest of Ji County were spared.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he befriended the nobles of Qiangdi in Liangzhou, and later returned to the fields. The nobles had followers. Dong Zhuo slaughtered the cattle and feasted with each other. The remaining heads were presented to Dong Zhuo.

"I know."

Xu An nodded, but he had his own ideas on how to arrange these Qiangdi tribes.

The chaos in Liangzhou has lasted for such a long time, and the turmoil has been endless. Since Liangzhou was established as a state, the Qiang chaos has not been subsided much.

It is true that some Hu people are influenced by Han culture and appreciate kindness, but more people still fear power and do not cherish virtue.

When the Wuhu is in disorder, all the animal nature is revealed in it.

Yan Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that Xu An didn't listen to what he said, Xu An probably made a plan long ago, and this decision was much more radical than he imagined.

In fact, Yan Zhong has been a little strange since a long time ago. Whenever he talked about the Huns, Qiang people, Di people, especially Xianbei, Xu An's eyes would become sharper, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Minggong."

Xu An stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at Yan Zhong who was at the side.

"Every decision you make and what happens afterwards proves your correctness. This time, although I don't know what you are going to do, I will support you no matter what you do."

Xu An grinned and laughed.

"However, I will finish what I have to say. As for how to choose, it is up to you."

Yan Zhong also smiled.

"I see."

Xu An took another step and walked out slowly from behind the screen.

"Welcome to the great virtuous teacher."

The envoys of the Qiangdi tribe who had been waiting for a long time in the main hall all stood up in fear.

They all speak Chinese, not the tribal Hu language.

Xu An walked all the way to the first seat, sat down, glanced at the people in the hall first, then raised his hand, signaling them to sit down,

"All sit down."

Only then did the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe dare to sit down again.

Xu An glanced at the people in the hall again. Few of the emissaries of the Qiangdi tribe in the hall dared to look up at him, let alone those who looked at him. some worries.

"I sent people to summon people before, and I have already stated that you are all envoys sent by the tribes, and you should be able to make decisions for the tribe."

Xu An leaned on the back of the chair and said in a deep voice.

"I know that Liangzhou has been in chaos for many years. It has become a common practice for various ministries to compete with each other for pastures, land, and livestock. The continuous turmoil in the state has become the norm."

"but……"

Xu An paused, and slightly accentuated his tone.

"I don't care what the counties and states do when the Han court occupies Liangzhou."

"Now Liangzhou has changed, and the forces occupying Liangzhou are my Taiping Dao, not Hanting."

The unstoppable commotion in the hall caused some commotion, but no one dared to question it, but the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe were a little restless.

Xu An's eyes were sharp, and he tapped the armrest of the chair, and the commotion in the hall subsided with this soft sound.

The battle of Gaopingchuan, and the military appearance of the Yellow Turban Army gave these people a bit of awe.

"First, all tribes in Liangzhou must be under the management of our Taipingdao officials and pay taxes on time. A certain amount of tax is collected according to the cattle, sheep, pastures, land, and population they own. All tax systems are in accordance with our Taipingdao. The enacted "tax law" charged."

As soon as Xu An finished speaking, there were noisy voices in the hall.

Xu An didn't care about the voice of the alien, but beckoned. Dozens of yellow angels wearing helmets and armor outside the hall had been on standby for a long time. Hearing the order, they walked into the hall with books in their hands.

"This is the content of a part of the "Tax Law" that I ordered people to print. You only need to read this part. My Taiping Road officials will collect taxes twice in June and December."

The yellow angel entered, and the noise in the hall was immediately suppressed.

"Remember, I'm not asking for your opinions, but a notice."

Xu An frowned slightly, and said coldly.

"Secondly, the leaders of the various tribes in Liangzhou must accept my Taipingdao's pardon before they can continue to manage the tribe, and they must go to nearby cities to report the situation in the tribe every month."

"I will send officials to count the population of each tribe, divide them into three classes according to the population, and then send envoys to give seals and pardon the leaders."

"If there is a violation."

Xu An's sharp eyes swept across the faces of the envoys of the Qiangdi tribe in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Destroy his family, revoke the name of his tribe, and punish all tribesmen with five years of labor reform."

"Thirdly, the entire territory of Liangzhou is owned by my Taipingdao. In this case, you must abide by my Taipingdao's laws and regulations. All laws and regulations in your tribe will be abolished. Anyone who violates them will be severely punished according to law."

"Probably these three, and some side details. After our conversation is over, my long history will continue to discuss with you in detail."

"If any of you have any problems, you can stand up and explain now."

Xu An stood up and asked condescendingly.

"I hope it's better not to, it's better for everyone."

Xu An waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement in the hall, he was about to leave, but at this moment, an envoy from the Qiang tribe stood up.

"Great virtuous teacher... This is really too harsh..."

Xu An stopped in his tracks, looked back at the standing Qiang envoy, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Does anyone here think my orders are harsh?"

After Xu An's words fell, several people in the hall stood up sparsely.

The positions of everyone in the hall have been arranged, and Xu An naturally knows which tribe those people represent.

These few stood up and said that the harsh tribes were all relatively large tribes, with the smallest being three to 4000 people, and two of them were large tribes with more than [-] people.

Xu An turned around and smiled happily.

"If it goes too smoothly, I'm still a little uneasy. Now that you have stood up, everything will be much easier to solve."

"Order Lü Bu and Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry under their command to march."

"Invite these people out by the way, they are no longer messengers."

A group of yellow angels guarding the hall received Xu An's order, and quickly stepped forward to take down all the opposing messengers.

Xu An's gaze was serious, and he said coldly.

"In Liangzhou, other than my Taipingdao voice, no other voices are allowed."

Chapter 600 Wedding Anniversary

In a long drought, every sweet and rainy day, a stranger in another country.

The bridal chamber is full of candles, when the golden list is titled.

It is the four great joys in life.

The city of Ji County was decorated with lanterns and festoons, a famous soldier stood with a sword in his hand, and a famous guest walked into the mansion.

The fame continued, and the embroidered emissary in the eagle wolf costume recorded box after box of congratulatory gifts into the gift list, and then loaded them into a four-wheeled carriage and transported them to the treasury in the city.

Wang Xin was wearing a deep crimson dress, and stood at the gate of the mansion in good spirits to welcome the guests.

There are two protagonists in today's wedding, one is Xu An, the great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao, and the other is his sister Wang Yi.

All the things that are happening today prove one thing.

There was no mistake or omission in Wang's past choices.

The Wang family of Beidi put everything on Xu An as they said at the beginning.

The Wang family of Beidi fulfilled their previous promise and captured Beidi County for Xu An. As a pioneer, they also made great contributions in the battle of Gaopingchuan. The Qianghu tribe in Beidi County surrendered under his persuasion.

It can be said that the Wang family of Beidi really put in a lot of effort to capture Liangzhou.

The situation in Liangzhou is complicated, the powerful families all have considerable armed forces, and even the Qiang and Hu are connected. Under normal circumstances, even the officials of Liangzhou would not dare to provoke the powerful families in Liangzhou.

The reason why Liangzhou was able to occupy Liangzhou so quickly this time was not only because of the correct strategy arranged by Xu An and the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, but also to a large extent because of the fact that Liangzhou's local powerful family had invested in the Taipingdao side.

Yan Zhong, Yang Ji, Pang Bo, and Fu Qi represent the four families respectively, Wuwei Yan, Wuwei Yang, Hanyang Pang, and Beidi Fu.

And Jia Xu and Wang Xin are the spokesmen elected by the Wuwei Jia family and the Beidi Wang family.

These six families played a significant role in the Yellow Turban Army's strategy and the stabilization of Liangzhou.

After Ma Teng chose to join, Ma Shi of Longxi also naturally joined the sequence of Taiping Dao.

Except for these seven surnames, all the powerful families in Liangzhou are now in a state of trepidation and fear all day long.

Once law enforcement and Xu An's orders are involved, Liu Pi will become stern and selfless.

The public trial was carried out by the Eagle Wolf Guard, that is, Liu Pi was in charge.

Joining the Taipingdao is just equivalent to getting a gold medal for avoiding death, but there is no risk of family punishment and family destruction.

During the public trial in Bingzhou, even the families of Zhang Liao and Hao Zhao, there were also many overbearing clansmen who were directly imprisoned by Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guards with driving stickers from their family residences.

The original Taiping Road occupied [-] counties, and there were countless people who broke their homes.

In the past, the rich and powerful family, the furniture of hundreds or even hundreds of years were all confiscated, and they had to go through a series of labor reforms before they could see the light of day and return to society.
