Dong Cheng, a native of Hejian, Jizhou, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling, had a daughter in the harem of today's emperor.

Not only Dong Cheng himself, but the dozen or so people who conspired with him all had the same idea, but whether they helped the emperor seize power for the emperor's benefit, or whether they wanted to restore the glory of their relatives in the past, only they knew.

Cao Cao's ability is there, and it is not easy to hide the truth from his subordinates. It is obvious that so many people risk their lives to make troubles, and it is obviously not just for Cao Cao himself.

Yuan Huaneng remembered that Dong Cheng relied on Lu Bu on the road to tell a few little guys about Dong Zhuo's defenses in Guanzhong. Although Dong Cheng and Dong Zhuo were both named Dong, they were not related by blood. The relationship is just to keep your eyes open and tell nonsense that he is related to the Queen Mother Dong. Anyone with a discerning eye knows whether there is a relationship.

There is no blood relationship between the two, but it is not unrelated. Dong Cheng was in the Xiliang Army at the beginning, and it was the part of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu. He can be regarded as Niu Fu's confidant. Dong Zhuo is very good to Niu Fu , Rounding off, Dong Cheng also served as Dong Zhuo's confidant for a while.

When the Kwantung Alliance challenged Dong, Wu Chenghou led his army into Luoyang, Dong Zhuo retreated to Chang'an, and left most of the Liangzhou Army's troops on the outskirts of Chang'an to prevent the Kwantung Alliance from entering Hangu Pass. The main force was divided into three groups. His cronies Niu Fu, Duan Yan, and Dong Yuelai were stationed on the only way to attack Chang'an City in the Kanto.

Niu Fu garrisoned Anyi, Duan Yan garrisoned Huayin, and Dong Yue garrisoned Mianchi. At this time, Dong Cheng also followed Niu Fu to station in Anyi.

If there was no such incident, he would not have thought that Dong Cheng would be involved in the accident in Guanzhong, but Cao Cao just threw him to Anyi, and he was not under his nose, so Dong Cheng should confess him to Anyi. No one knows.

Cao Cao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I was negligent."

"You can't completely blame you for this matter, but if you don't know anything about it, you will still be punished after you go back." Yuan Huan glanced at him, then changed the subject and asked, "There are many aristocratic families in Guanzhong. What percentage of officials are there?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, and quickly gave the answer, "About seventy percent."

Like his elder brother, he employs people regardless of their background and only their ability. It doesn't sound like a lot to have [-]% helpers from poor families around him, but compared with other local officials who are almost all from rich families, he can pick out so many available people from poor families. It was already a pleasant surprise.

"It's still too little." Yuan Huan sighed lightly, pulling himself together to explain his guess.

Sometimes progress too fast is not necessarily a good thing. He had already won the north, and Xuzhou was quickly taken over by the people he sent after Liu Bei left. There is no difference between Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and the voluntary surrender. Liangzhou has long been unconscious. Liu Biao of Jingzhou died without even making it half a year. Liu Fan of Yizhou inherited his father's ambition but not his father's ability. The smoky atmosphere and the people's lives are difficult, and Cao Ren and Ma Chao didn't even fight much, and the people of Yizhou took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

Liu Yan had four sons, the eldest did not look back when he hit the south wall, the second was the same as the eldest, he insisted on fighting even though he knew he could not be beaten, the two brothers did not die on the battlefield, but died together in the rebellion of their subordinates , the third child was in poor health and died early, and the remaining fourth child was cowardly, and the three older brothers were all gone, and he was left to make up his own mind, ask this and that, whether he is still open like the people in other counties The city gate voluntarily surrendered.

Liu Bei fled to Yizhou in a hurry. Before he could catch his breath, he found that Yizhou was completely different from what they had heard before. When Liu Yan was the shepherd of Yizhou, although Yizhou did not communicate with the outside world, the people in Yizhou Wealthy and stable, with much more money, food and supplies than Jingzhou next door, it is a rare place of peace and happiness in troubled times.

The roads in Yizhou and other places are impassable. It is not easy to think about the past. Only when we actually arrived there did we find that the rumored peace and happiness did not exist at all.

Not long after Liu Yan died of illness, what outrageous things did Liu Fan do to bring the good Yizhou into such a scourge?

Liu Bei can't figure it out, but the chaos in Yizhou is not bad for him. Liu Yan's son can't hold back the people he left behind. Only the uncle Liu, who is also a member of the Han family, can find a way to take Yizhou .

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Before he could figure out what would happen in Yizhou, Cao Ren and Ma Chao led an army to the south from Hanzhong. Yizhou did change its owner, but he was not the one who succeeded him.

The world is so big that there seems to be no room for him.

Liu Xuande sighed and sighed for several days, and found that he could not fight anywhere except to go to the uncivilized deep mountains and old forests to be with the savages. No matter how hard the three of them worked together, it was impossible for them Resist hundreds of thousands of troops.

He couldn't fight and couldn't fight, and he had nowhere to run, so he had no choice but to follow Liu Zhang and be arranged by Nayuan Situ.

What's more, until Yizhou changed hands, he still didn't understand why there was chaos in Yizhou. He just exchanged big money for small money, so that the people of Yizhou would rather flee than stay in Yizhou?

He also knew that after Yizhou started to make a lot of money, other places gradually stopped doing business with it. Not doing business is not a big problem. Yizhou can be self-sufficient and can survive without merchants from other places.

Uncle Liu Huang couldn't figure it out. Apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, there were only Sun Qian and Jian Yong around him who could ask questions.

He couldn't even figure this out, so how could he have the confidence to restore peace in Yizhou after taking Yizhou?

The story is far away, in short, since taking Yizhou, Uncle Liu Huang has been obsessed with economics and cannot extricate himself. Zhang Fei is by his elder brother's side and refuses to leave. Guan Yu, a powerful fighting force, cannot be wasted.

It doesn't matter who Guan Erye is loyal to, as long as he doesn't lose the chain when resisting the barbarians, with Guan Yu's personality, he can't do things like abandoning the innocent people behind him for his own self-interest.

I didn’t think it was fast when I was playing the territory, but when I was almost done playing, I looked back and found that the speed seemed to be a bit fast. Thirteen states of the Han Dynasty have already been taken down seven to eighty-eight, and the remaining ones that have not been taken are not a problem. Sooner or later Everything will calm down, don't worry about this moment.

They are not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry.

Yuan Huan can probably guess what's going on. His attitude towards the poor family is very clear. Promoting the poor family will definitely harm the interests of the aristocratic family. In the past when they were fighting for territory, some people may have hoped when they would be defeated and hoped that the aristocratic family would be able to As before, they are superior to ordinary people, but as the situation settles, there are very few forces left in the world that can make splashes, and their last hope is gone.

The gentry tyrants have dominated one side for a long time. After Wang Mang ruled in disorder and Guangwu established the country, the power of local tyrants expanded. Method.

He has been high above for hundreds of years, and once his status is threatened, it is almost impossible for them to resist at all. Even if he has the support of the Runan Yuan family now, it is useless. The Runan Yuan family is only one of the aristocratic families, and their interests will not be damaged. Sometimes others are willing to give them face, once the interests are damaged, even the emperor will not think about it.

If not, Emperor Guangwu's Dutian Order would not have been abandoned halfway.

The aristocratic family in Guanzhong is not as powerful as Guandong, but Guandong has been run by him for so many years. Under the suppression of the army, no one dares to stand out. The attitude of the little emperor in Yecheng is also obvious. Propagating the three cardinal principles and five constant principles is not good enough to slap the emperor in the face without any cover.

There are scruples in Guandong, but not in Guanzhong. Most of the gentry are powerful and have been officials for many generations. Aristocratic families can easily form an army to go to war.

Therefore, for the aristocratic and powerful families, those so-called "common clans" and "poor families" are all small people who come and go as soon as they are called, and no matter how large the number is, it is not worth mentioning.

Think about it, the little people who had to rely on them to survive suddenly turned to sit on an equal footing with them, and might even climb to a higher position than them. Even if this kind of thing hasn't happened to them, just thinking about it is enough to drive them crazy.

Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others are all Liehou, and they are all Liehou who were sent to Guanzhong to do coolies after being convicted. People who are used to being pampered and pampered will definitely not be able to do farm work. The harder the life is, the more it will arouse them. resentment, and it is easier to be persuaded to rebel.

The little emperor was very kind to the concubines around him. He had a good temper and almost never got angry. He would not blame the concubines for their occasional disrespect. The crimes of Dong Cheng and others did not involve the concubines in the Taiping Palace. It is hard to guarantee that the concubines and fathers who are assigned to farm will not have the idea of ​​making a comeback.

The corners of Yuan Huan's lips were slightly raised, and the smile didn't reach his eyes. Those people knew that he would have trouble with the aristocratic family, but the world is still ruled by the Liu surname. He is the master of Yecheng, but the emperor has someone else. Since ancient times There are very few emperors who have trouble with aristocratic families. Even if they sometimes balance the relationship with the aristocratic families by promoting the poor, they will not let the children of the poor families really enter the court after the balance is completed.

They can allow the children of the poor family to become their tribe, their tenant farmers, their servants, and even sold as slaves, but they will never allow the poor family to have the opportunity to be equal to them.

Since the Son of Heaven is in Yecheng, why can't they start a civil unrest again, and then let the Son of Heaven surnamed Liu appear in front of the people in a fair manner in the name of saving the Son of Heaven from suffering?

The Son of Heaven is in power, and those of them who rescued the Son of Heaven from Yecheng can get a lot of credit no matter what, don't look at just letting the Son of Heaven live in another place, maybe it will become a life-saving favor at some point.

The officials in Guanzhong deceived the upper and lower and robbed the people. After all, they were not directed at Cao Cao, but at him.

It was also his own fault. If they had directly beheaded people at the beginning, they would not have had the chance to collude together to make trouble. Without Dong Cheng and others' advice, they might not have been able to hide it for such a long time.

Cao Cao is not a fool. Guanzhong doesn’t need him to lead troops to fight in person. If he has time, he will take people to the surrounding counties to check the situation. In particular, Cao Mengde was in charge of the entire Guanzhong, and the life and death of millions of people were on his shoulders, and he was no less attentive than when he was in Yanzhou.

Dong Cheng once followed Niu Fu to garrison in Anyi, and the little emperor lived in Chang'an for so long, and he has been accompanying him all the time. Not only does he know the situation in Guanzhong like the back of his hand, he must also know better than Cao Cao.

Officials from aristocratic families and their previous connections in Guanzhong allowed Cao Cao to only control the surroundings of Chang'an, and it is not too difficult to know nothing about the real situation in the east and Hanoi areas.

Cao Cao's spine felt chills when he heard this, and the killing intent in his eyes was full, and it took him a long time to find his voice again, "Brother, do you want to send troops to wipe out those people?"

Before that, he had always felt that Guanzhong was much easier to govern than Yanzhou. The people here had been suffering for years, and the people were miserable. After the garrison order was issued, the people responded very quickly, and they agreed to the conditions of garrison without much hesitation.

He thought that the people were afraid of the hard life, and they were willing to do anything as long as they could have enough to eat. Now, it seems that there are many people who are forced to agree to farm. Catching common people to do coolies, they don't take the lives of the common people seriously at all, the dog has killed so many people, even Ling Chi has taken advantage of them.

There are a lot of things to do in Chang'an City, and most of the humble children he promoted stay with him. It is not easy for people with low backgrounds to be an official. Many times, ability is not worth a good background. No one dares to make irresponsible remarks around him. There are many detours to send people out.

Now is the time for employing people. He promotes people to work, and he doesn't have the time to carve rough jade.

The most important thing in Guanzhong is to restore farming so that the people have food to eat. Corrupt officials have no way to survive here, and the granaries and government warehouses are empty. Those who come up are recommended to be pawn farmers.

Unexpectedly, the knife he sent out stabbed himself instead.

Cao Cao clenched his fists and already sentenced those people to death in his heart. Even if his brother refused to agree, he would find an opportunity to take revenge in a few days. I think Cao Mengde has been an official for so many years, and no one has ever dared to play this on him. Kind of careful thinking.

Those who offended him in the past were all dead, and now those who offended him had to spare their lives.

Yuan Huan sipped his saliva to moisturize his throat. Seeing Cao Cao's ferocious expression, he paused for a moment, put down his teacup and said, "First find out how many places there are, and then Fengxian will lead the troops to wipe them out one by one. Looting the people is for thieves. It would be perfect for Feng Xian to do the job of suppressing bandits."

Lu Fengxian might save a few lives in the past. Cao Mengde went there. He was afraid that Boss Cao would be angry and slaughter the city directly. It would be no problem to slaughter those who did bad things, and those people who were arrested had to be let go.

Leading troops is risky. Boss Cao still has a headache about how to manage Guanzhong after so many fewer people. If it doesn't work, he can only transfer people from other places to emergency.

At the door, General Lu raised his chin proudly when he heard their master's words, raised his eyebrows provocatively at Cao Cao, and then continued to stand at the door as the door god.

Yes, he is that powerful.
