Chapter 614: Ascension
West Gate. Upstairs.
Wang Lei looked at Gongsun Zan's body on the ground and felt a sigh in his heart. The dignified Gongsun Zan would eventually die at the hands of a group of women. Such a way of death is considered strange.
Liu He's eyes were filled with joy of revenge. He wanted to rush forward with a knife and chop it a few more times to vent his anger: "Mr. Gongsun Zan killed my father. I beg the Minister of State to hand over Gongsun Zan's body to me for disposal."
"Yes. Please take it away."
Wang Lei did not hesitate at all. He agreed directly.
When he raised an army to attack Gongsun Zan, he agreed to avenge Liu He.
Liu He looked overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers to take Gongsun Zan's body away. Then Liu He also folded his fists and said goodbye. He left Ximen. He wanted to use Gongsun Zan's head to pay tribute to his dead father.
Cui Puyuan thought for a while and said, "Lord. Gongsun Zan was killed. Youzhou has no leader. It is not worth fearing. As long as the lord takes gentle measures to dismantle the remaining soldiers of Youzhou, Youzhou will definitely be able to stabilize in a short period of time."
Wang Lei smiled slightly and said, "What do you think? Let's hear it."
Cui Puyuan replied respectfully: "First, when Liu Yu was alive, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The four barbarians had a high prestige in the hearts of the people. Now that Gongsun Zan has been killed, the lord can take this opportunity to pay tribute to Liu Yu, gather Liu Yu's old subordinates, and isolate and loyal to Gongsun Zan's stubborn power."
"Second. Abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes established by Gongsun Zan. Open warehouses and release grain. Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu. He recruited troops and imposed heavy taxes. He also entrusted violent taxes. The people were in turmoil and the people were suffering. After the lord killed Gongsun Zan, he immediately abolished Gongsun Zan's improper measures and opened warehouses and released grain. The people could survive the severe winter. He would definitely win the hearts of the people and gain the support of the people. With the support of the people, he would have a solid and reliable foundation."
"Third. Recruiting the officials of each county, and all the officials who surrendered will not blame the past. The official positions will remain the same. Gongsun Zan is dead. They are unwilling to resist anymore. But they are worried about their own situation. As long as they give benefits, they will surrender immediately. As for the black sheep in it, they will slowly clean up."
Cui Puyuan made three suggestions in a row, involving military and political aspects. He seemed very confident.
In front of Wang Lei, he tried his best to show his abilities.
Wang Lei nodded with satisfaction and praised a few words, and then said nothing more. Cui Puyuan stood respectfully and stopped talking. It didn't take long. Cao Xing, Wei Xu and Song Xian came back with the cavalry from the Eagle Falcon Camp to hand in hand. The three of them led their troops to capture Gongsun Zan's brothers. They all won.
Liu Weitai, Li Yizi and Le Hedang. None of them escaped.
Le Hedang's eyes fell on Cui Puyuan. He saw Cui Puyuan and Ji Yuan standing behind him. He said in a lost voice: "Cui Sanshui, Ji Yuan. You. You. You. You. You actually opened the city to surrender."
Liu Weitai and Li Yizi looked like swords, and looked hatred, wishing they could swallow Cui Puyuan.
They looked at Ji Yuan and were also murderous.
However, at this moment, they have become prisoners. In fact, they have not guessed Cui Puyuan's identity until now. They still think that Cui Puyuan and Ji Yuan surrendered to the Jizhou army together.
Wang Lei glanced at the three of them and ordered: "Take it down and get detained."
The three were taken away, and the army continued to enter the city, extinguishing the stubborn resistance forces in the city and taking over the four-sided city gate.
The next morning, Jixian returned to peace.
Wang Lei is currently working in Gongsun Zan's governor's office. In the hall, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Wen Chou, Gan Ning and others are all listed.
Cui Puyuan stood in the hall and reported: "Qi reported to the lord. In this battle, Gongsun Zan was beheaded. The body of Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu has also been found. He was killed by the rioters. In addition, Le Hedang, Li Yizi and Liu Weitai were arrested. All the money and food in the three people's mansions have been sealed..."
The results of the post-war counting. Cui Puyuan's report one by one.
After hearing this, Wang Lei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Gongsun Zan was killed. Youzhou can be called a predecessor. However, it is easy to attack the city and governance is not easy. Next, the focus is on the issue of governing Youzhou. Liu He served as the governor of Youzhou. But the Bianjia has not been appointed yet. I plan to plan Cui Puyuan to serve as the Bianjia of Youzhou. You may have any opinions."
Cui Puyuan's body stiffened and an excited look appeared on his face.
After taking over Youzhou, Cui Puyuan knew that he would be promoted. Unexpectedly, he was directly promoted to Youzhou Biejia. Compared with his previous assistant Lu Bu, Jizhou Biejia has real power and has the right to take charge of government affairs in Youzhou.
Everyone looked at Cui Puyuan and nodded. There was no objection. Cui Puyuan's previous performance made everyone impeccable.
Wang Lei changed his subject and said, "Don't take the initiative to handle government affairs. But one person still needs to take charge of the troops. To pacify the remaining soldiers who are fighting stubbornly. I plan to be the chief of Youzhou. I will lead the army to station in Youzhou. You may have any opinions."
Everyone shook their heads again and agreed unanimously.
Lu Bu said with a depressed expression, "After the lord Cui Puyuan was transferred, I had no assistant officials under my command. What should I do? I can't always dig my corner."
Wang Lei laughed and said, "Don't worry. I will make it up for you."
After a pause, Wang Lei looked at Tian Feng with his eyes and ordered: "Yuan Hao. Choose someone good at handling internal affairs from the army and serve as the assistant officer of General Lu. This matter must be arranged."
"promise."
Tian Feng nodded and thought about the candidate.
Wang Lei kept issuing orders to arrange all the things that should be arranged.
...
Cui Puyuan served as the detachment of Youzhou. After taking office, he implemented the strategies formulated. He and Liu He renovated Liu Yu's tomb and commemorated Liu Yu's solemnly. Then Cui Puyuan killed Le Hedang, Li Yizi, Liu Weitai and others, and swept away a group of unkind businessmen.
After killing people to establish their authority, Cui Puyuan took out the grain hoarded by Le, Liu Weitai and others and opened the warehouse to release the grain.
For a moment, the people were overjoyed and were extremely happy.
Cui Puyuan was in charge of the government for a short time, and the atmosphere in Ji County changed. He gradually recovered his vitality. At the same time, Cui Puyuan and Wen Chou cooperated to dispatch troops and conquered the counties and counties in Youzhou.
Wang Lei stayed in Ji County for half a month and withdrew his troops south.
Returning to Zhongshan Kingdom from Youzhou, Wang Lei met Xin Pi in Wuji County. He stayed for two days. The army continued to move south and entered Julu County.
When I headed south and returned to Ye County, it was already December.
When they returned to Ye County, officials and generals returned to their posts. After Wang Lei returned to the provincial governor's mansion, he first visited the old man, Tong Yuan and Wang Yue. Then he traveled with Han Mengyu, Da Qiao and others for a day, and then started to deal with government affairs again.
In the study, Jia Xu sat opposite Wang Lei.
Wang Lei said: "Sir, let's talk about the recent situation in Ye County."
Jia Xu nodded and said slowly: "In government affairs, Du Ji, Xun Chen and others cooperated with each other. Everything is good and there is no problem. In the army, with Huang Zhong, everything is worry-free. However, after defeating Li Ru's army, Zhang Liao, the commander of the Western Liang army. After persuasion, this person has surrendered. But the lord still has to decide how to arrange Zhang Liao's position."
