"The Dong thief is here-"

"Run quickly-"

A scream exclaimed, and the small village was in chaos in an instant. In just a moment, hundreds of cavalry rumbled and waved their sabers to break in.

"Woo...whoo..."

It was like driving cattle and sheep, hundreds of cavalry ran from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and then turned around and entered from the west end of the village again. After several twists and turns back and forth, there were no screams or cries in the originally messy village, and quietly as if there were no abandoned villages in the empty and deserted village, but the leader Zeng Biao knew that everyone was hiding and waiting for them to arrest them one by one.

Zeng Biao kicked his horse and walked into the empty village, holding a copper trumpet in his hand...

"I'll just listen to it!"

"The king has an order!"

"Those who dare to raise their swords to resist will die--"

"Those who dare to hurt the soldiers in the army will die in the family-"

"Don't think that if you hide it, I and my brothers will not be able to catch you. Come out honestly and follow your brothers honestly. Your money and food will still belong to you!"

"When I arrived in Luoyang, there were children under the age of fifteen and elderly people over fifty, each with ten acres of land!"

"Fifteen to fifty years old, regardless of gender, each person has fifteen acres!"

"There are countless wheat in Luoyang, which is harvested directly during summer harvest. This year, there are 10 taxes and 10 taxes in the future. There is no tuition or update tax. A fifteen-year-old woman will not be fined until she gets married!"

"There is no money and food to survive the famine. The king borrows one to pay back one and then lends you food to survive!"

"There is no ox and horse farming, the king lends it to you-"

Zeng Biao kicked his horse and walked slowly in the empty village, and shouted a few times with a loudspeaker from time to time...

"As long as you come out honestly, the king will not take away your money and food. The king will distribute the land to you. You don't want to speak tribute and make more tribute!"

"As long as you are honest, the king will lend you food and cattle and sheep!"

"But if you don't come out honestly, once you are caught, there will be nothing-"

"Let's give you two quarters of an hour!"

"If you don't come out honestly for two quarters of an hour, don't blame your brothers for being too harsh-"

...

Not only did the captain Zeng Biao shout with a loudspeaker, but the captain below also shouted with a copper trumpet, over and over again.

For a quarter of an hour, the village was still quiet. Zeng Biao was not in a hurry and came to the shade of the tree. While eating naan bread, he was talking to his subordinates. Not far away, a woman hid in the corner of the firewood pile with a child. Teams of soldiers came and left, as if they didn't see them. It was not until Zeng Biao ate up a big cake that he walked to the firewood pile and kicked over the small haystack.

"Get out!"

The woman who had a stern and cold voice, but had no panic and screaming, actually walked out timidly with a doll in her arms.

Zeng Biao was in front and the woman was in the back. One in front and one in the back, and there were already a hundred people on the wheat field.

"The king said it all. As long as you are honest and obedient, your things will be yours. After you arrive in Luoyang, someone will be able to share the land for you!"

"From now on, even if you are the people of Luoyang, you have no food at home. The king will borrow food and sheep to you. You will have to repay as much as you borrow!"

"Now, the Lord will explain some rules to you!"

Zeng Biao handed the loudspeaker to the commander of the army, and he stood aside with a cold face. Now, two or three hundred soldiers were arresting people one by one, and the soldiers were no longer so peaceful. It was light to use a whip to whip. If there was resistance, chopping the head was nothing.

People who are lucky, fearful and afraid of coming out are the majority, but some are rich families, landlords and rich families with fields. The Han Dynasty has few people and more land. The price of a mu of land is similar to that of a stone of grain, which is only 300 to 500 yuan. It is logical that ordinary people can afford such a low price. The key is that the people do not have copper coins in their hands, and most of the copper coins are gathered in the hands of countless families of all sizes.

The market economy is like a stagnant pool. The people finally earned a few copper coins, and they were sent to the government treasury because of their tuition and taxation. Even if the price of land is very low, there are very few people with land.

No matter when the land is private, no matter how much land is distributed to the people at the beginning, it will be gathered in the hands of a few people in the end, not to mention that the Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years.

Dong Hu asked Zhang Liao to go to Chenliu County to arrest people, which would not ruin his reputation, nor would the people really fear Liangbians, right? So he was going to use the fields to buy them. Of course, the ownership of the fields still belongs to him.

Children and the elderly give ten acres of land, and the remaining ones give fifteen acres of land. The family of five is almost sixty or seventy acres of land. It is more than enough to support the family. People without land are still willing to get out of the haystack. Moreover, in the first year of Zhongping, Dong Hu did divide the fields for some people in Yingchuan County.

People without land are willing to take the risk and believe it once, but the landlords and wealthy families are different. Originally, they had hundreds or thousands of acres of land in their own homes, and they could only get dozens of acres when they ran to Luoyang. So would they be willing? This is not the time when the princes of all sides are really fighting and the fields are deserted. When facing the loss of family foundation, eight out of ten people hide, and even raise their swords to resist.

The ones agreed in advance, they were honestly given out, and the money and food were still theirs. As for those who had too much food to take away, they could only find a way to find themselves, whether they hired the people to delay money and food, or to give them some good reputations. The soldiers didn't care about these things, but if they hid them or resisted them to the death, they would be sorry. Once they were caught, they would confiscate their belongings at the least, and at the worst they would be chopped off their heads.

Zeng Biao looked at the soldiers' gains and felt very moved. It was the king who was wise and easily obtained most of the money from a village.

Zeng Biao didn't care about how the people arranged the left and right commanders arranged them. Except for taking away all the real gold and silver collected, he threw all the food to the left and right commanders, and gave them half and half to the captives according to the list. They dragged their cars to Kaifeng and Luoyang by themselves.

As for whether the prisoners would escape... they might escape, or they might not, but no matter what, there would definitely be many people going to Kaifeng honestly. Before they could see the fields, the food was sent to them first, and the credibility increased a lot.

Zeng Biao simply explained to the left and right envoys, leaving them with one hundred brothers, and then took the brothers to the next village. There were ten brigades like him, and they were very close to each other, enough to gather five thousand iron cavalry in half a day when they encountered danger.

In just three days, Zhang Liao swept hundreds of villages. Although there were not many people in each village, at least a hundred people, and at most five or six hundred. Although Zhang Liao had not harassed Chenliu County for three days, Zhang Miao had mouth sores. Dozens of clan elders and clan leaders in the hall cried and had no choice. Although they hid in the city because of fear when Zhang Miao rebelled, and even moved money and grain into the city, Zhang Liao plundered all their tenants. Who would harvest the wheat in the fields? Who would farm for them in the future?

The families were originally very stingy and unwilling to take out money and grain to recruit soldiers for Zhang Miao, but now... they are rushing to pay off money and grain, and their only request is to let the prefect Zhang send troops to encircle and suppress the thieves in Liangzhou...

"Everyone!"

Zhang Miao stood up, and the hundreds of people in the hall also became quiet.

"It's not that I am unwilling to send troops to suppress the thieves, but in fact... those thieves are all riding fast horses. It's particularly difficult for me to destroy those thieves."

"Premier Zhang, did you say that the tiger kid can only let the people rob the people? If this is true, we might as well go to Luoyang to ask for the people..."

“What Mr. Sun said…”

"How can the thief plunder the people? How can the prefect be afraid and watch the people suffer..."

"Yeah yeah……"

When he heard that Zhang Miao was unwilling to send troops, the hall was buzzing again...

"Everyone-"

Zhang Miao suddenly raised his voice and the hall was calm again.

"Since you are determined to fight the thieves... well! I can immediately let the soldiers out of the city to fight, but... a few days ago, Meng De and Wei Zi were defeated, which damaged many elite soldiers and generals in Chenliu County. Can you help me to eliminate the thieves?"

Everyone looked at each other...

"My Sun family is willing to produce hundreds of people!"

"Since Mr. Sun is not stingy, my Wu family will not fall into others. My Wu family is willing to produce two hundred strong powers!"

"The Zhao family is willing to send out fifty people..."

“…Seventy people.”

...

A hundred old and young shouted, and Zhang Miao thought it secretly and was overjoyed. There were thousands of soldiers and horses slapped the small table with one hand.

"good!"

"Meng Gao, this time you will lead the troops to fight against the thieves, and be sure to expel Zhang Liao from the country!"

When Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, was Zhang Miao's younger brother, Zhang Liao and Pang De led his troops to Kaifeng, he returned to Chenliu County with his brother Zhang Miao, and he was trapped in Chenliu County at this time.

Many people in later generations believed that Dong Zhuo killed the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei completely to vent his anger. It was because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers rebelled, but the fact was that Yuan Wei died was not at all. The reason was that all the princes could form an alliance to attack Dong, and the real promoter was Yuan Wei, and the key figure who could connect these people was Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling.

After Dong Zhuo became prime minister, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, recruited two people, one was the Gongcao Zang Hong, and the other was Yuan Sui, a famous scholar in Guangling County. When Zhang Chao brought Zang Hong to Chenliu County, all the affairs of Guangling County were handed over to Yuan Sui.

What resume did Yuan Sui have before becoming the prefect Zhang Chao? He was the clerk of the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei’s Mansion.

The Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao brothers had a good relationship with Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Yichang, the governor of Yuzhou. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was also a member of the Yuan family. Such a alliance of attacking Dong was formed.

Dong Hu didn't know these things. For him, it was normal for him to harm his family in this era, and it was even more impossible to know that Yuan Wei had completed the Dong alliance through his aide Yuan Sui and Zhang Chao. He could only judge based on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao's failure to return to his hometown after escaping Luoyang. They could not have the intention to rebel at the beginning. This does not conform to the common sense of rebellion. Just like Dong Hu's foundation was in the cold, he let him run to Jizhou to rebel, seeking death, right?

Is the Yuan family's purposeful plan? Or is it a disaster triggered by accidental dissatisfaction? Everything was submerged in the sand of history and there was no trace anymore.

Dong Hu would not care about these things, and Zhang Liao and Pang De would not. Those who should capture the people of Chenliu County still arrest people everywhere, and those who should transport the people still send them to Luoyang. As for Zhang Chao's courage to lead troops out...

If you can beat it, fight it, run away if you can't beat it. How big can it be?

When Zhang Chao walked out of Chenliu County with 20,000 troops, Zhang Liao led the 5,000 cavalry camp to retreat towards Kaifeng, and Kaifeng also welcomed reinforcements. It was the rushing army camp and the 20,000 to 30,000 elite infantrymen in Shanzi camp.
