For scholars like Ge Rong who came from a poor family in the Western Jin Dynasty, this era was an extremely painful era. Although the family families have become increasingly powerful since the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have now become the power to control the overall situation of the world.

However, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for the poor Chinese family, and as long as those with talent could be used, they could be used to compete. It was just a few decades before, and the legends of success and fame and the glory of the noble majesties have been passed down to this era.

Ge Rong was arrogant and had a reputation, but before Peng Lan was promoted to him as the governor of Langya County, he never even had the opportunity to sink into his subordinates.

When the Qingzhou army suddenly came, Ge Rong used his power and his prestige to lead everyone to protect the country and the people.

Ge Rong himself never thought of surrendering.

Indeed, Ge Rong himself never said anything about surrender, but Liu Yu in front of him had already treated him as if nothing had happened.

"Ge Jun is expected by the people in the county. The litigation and prison decisions in Langya County require you to work hard to eliminate violence and safeguard the people."

Liu Yu said straight to the point.

In Liu Yu's opinion, the reason why Ge Rong refused to admit his guilt and surrender was not that he really put his life and death aside, but that he really had other plans.

As for what he wanted, Liu Yu could guess that among the people in the Wei and Jin dynasties, those who were willing to give up their lives for the honor of the clan were nothing more than.

Since Peng Lan, the former prefect of Langya, could use poor scholars, he could accept Ge Rong's loyalty, then Liu Yu felt that as long as he could offer higher and richer courtesy, he would definitely get the same effect.

Sure enough, with Liu Yu's past and the invitation to buy official titles and honors.

Ge Rong quickly fell into Liu Yu's sugar-coated shells. After all, if he didn't have to die, he could immediately improve his social status and his clan's clan's social status.

As a result, he had already died in his heart. Ge Rong was almost stress-free when he held the official position granted by Liu Yu.

Finally, under Liu Yu's "heart-to-heart" preparation, Ge Rong transformed.

From the military commander of Peng Lan, the prefect of Langya County, to the current Langya Changshi in Langya County.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, although Langya was always a county, in formal occasions, because of the existence of the title of Langya, Langya was always known as the county and state.

Moreover, although the chief secretary is the deputy of the county magistrate and other administrative officials, this position is more military-oriented, and generally appears the most among the frontier prefectures and counties. It is set up chief secretary like Langya County, which is far away from the frontier.

This is obvious. Liu Yu equated Langya County with the border counties. As for who is the enemy of the border counties, it is of course Xuzhou bordering it.

After Ge Rong accepted the appointment, Liu Yu asked Ge Rong to recommend more than a dozen county figures from poor families, but officials at all levels of Langya County were from officials.

Because these people are all from poor families, and in Langya County, which has many Chinese high families, they naturally stand opposite to the gentry and powerful people.

Regarding the poor children of Langya who were recommended by Ge Rong to serve as official positions, Liu Yu just met and hurriedly granted them various official positions.

The reason why Liu Yu was so urgent was that he had received a letter from Dong Ping, who attacked Taishan County.

Dong Ping said in the letter that some people appeared frequently in Taishan County under the banner of the envoy of the emperor. Not only did many powerful factions with swaying positions start to stand on the side of the Jin court, but many powerful people who were originally going to become their own people also became open enemies.

Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry about this situation.

When I found that I could not use it for myself, I just drove it out.

I really didn't expect that Liu Yu originally thought he was a waste emperor envoy, but he was so brave and knowledgeable that he dared to contact the powerful in Taishan County, which was under heavy troops, so that the battle to conquer Taishan County, which could have ended quickly turned into a situation where Dong Ping led his army to chew on tough problems.

Finally, after Liu Yu discovered that the situation in Taishan County was getting more and more difficult, he decided to lead his army west as soon as possible and attack Taishan County with Dong Ping on both sides.

At that time, in the face of absolute strength, the clan tyrants who resisted were nothing but dead bones in the tomb.

Because he wanted to take away most of the elite, Liu Yu had to think of a way in advance to create a stable situation for Langya County after he left.

Before this, Liu Yu had ordered Ran Long from the rear to lead a group of troops to come to Langya County quickly, preparing to take over the defense of Langya County so that Liu Yu could lead his troops westward to attack Taishan County as soon as possible.

Finally, while Liu Yu was waiting hard, Ran Long led more than a thousand cavalry to Kaiyang City.

These thousand cavalrymen carefully selected the strongest horses from the horses traded with Youzhou, and were composed of soldiers who had been trained by Wu Xin, Ran Long and others for months.

For these thousand newly established cavalrymen, Liu Yu was reluctant to use them to kill the enemy.

In Liu Yu's opinion, the enemies of Dongguan and Langya County are just scabies.

In this way, how can you use a ox knife to kill a chicken?

Moreover, these cavalry were hard-won, and Liu Yu was reluctant to use them at all.

However, these cavalry have extremely powerful mobile capabilities and are very powerful and deterrent, so it is best to use it to stabilize the situation in Langya County.

After Ran Long led these thousand cavalry to arrive, Liu Yu appointed Ran Long as the prefect of Langya County and General Xuanwei, to manage Langya County and pacify the rest of the counties and towns.

He also accepted the newly recruited Ge Rong as the Changshi of Langya, Zhonglang, and came to assist Ran Long.

The other poor scholars recommended by Kong An and Ge Rong were officially appointed by Liu Yu one by one.

In this way, with Ran Long's ability and more than a thousand elite cavalry in his hands, Liu Yu felt that Langya County, which is a newly affiliated place, would be safe.

However, to be on the safe side, Liu Yu summoned Ran Long before leading the army to Taishan County westward, and finally gave some instructions.

"Yuanchang, you are a county now, and you can be said to be a member of the country. You must always pay attention to the movements of the powerful men in Langya County." Liu Yu said with a serious expression.

Ran Long quickly said yes.

After leading a thousand cavalry to Langya County, Ran Long was also very surprised that he was appointed as the prefect of Langya County. Although he has made some contributions from the Goguryeo people, the opportunity to become a 2,000-stone official still made Ran Long feel a little uneasy.

However, Ran Long knew that the reason why Liu Yu did this was not simply taking care of himself, but also paying attention to the thousand elite cavalry in his hands.

Although these thousand cavalry were all trained on the training ground and lacked a lot of experience, the strength of these thousand cavalry was the cavalry and the dismount was the elite armored soldiers, which was still very oppressive to the powerful families in Langya County.

"General, don't worry, I will always be the strongest vigilance, and I will never let these powerful men in Langya County move any more."

After listening, Liu Yu nodded slightly and continued.

"Brother Yuanchang, not only that, in addition to the gentry and powerful people in these counties, you must also have a sharper look. You should also pay more attention to these poor scholars who have just been promoted."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Ran Long was a little confused.

I didn't hear that Liu Yu was still very good at many surrendered soldiers in Langya County. It can be said that he was heart-warming, so why should he beware of them?

"General, didn't you say before that Ge Rong, Kong An and others are all poor scholars from Langya County, and they are all trustworthy, so why did you say this?"

Faced with Ran Long's doubts, Liu Yu smiled slightly.

"Because, these so-called poor scholars sometimes exist and may not exist."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Ran Long, who was originally confused, became even more confused.

"Although these poor men almost suffer from a good ancestor in the assessment of their rank, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult for an ordinary person to become a domineering person in the county."

Liu Yu paused and said.

"Being these poor scholars has suffered from the losses of many Chinese clans, but if they are given a chance, many of them will abandon their previous remarks that denounced the noble families of the gentry, and wish they would immediately become Chinese clans."

After hearing Liu Yu say this, Ran Long understood a little.

It turned out that Liu Yu was worried about the moral integrity of these poor people. After all, many people had mysterious love for the Chinese people in the high sect.

For these people, they have a sensation of turning over serfs.

In this case, beware of some of them having secret conversations with the powerful men in the county.

"Please rest assured, General, I have already understood the affairs of this county, and there will definitely be a sound of everything."

Liu Yu nodded and said to Ran Long again.

"I know that although a thousand cavalry is flexible in mobilization, it is not enough if there is an emergency. So I have sent someone to write to Cao Yi, who is stationed in Dongwu, asking him to lead 2,000 people from Ju County. In addition, the 3,000 people from Shuqu, Chengyang County, Liu Xun, is enough to take care of each other."

Hearing Liu Yu's arrangement, Ran Long's original concern about the lack of troops also disappeared.

However, Ran Long didn't know that Liu Yu arranged for his closest confidant Liu Xun and his old acquaintance Cao Yi to lead his army to the nearby station, not simply to assist Ran Long. Part of the reason was to use these troops to monitor all the movements in Langya County, including Ran Long himself.

There was no way. After Liu Yu led his army westward to Taishan County, he had to guard against anyone when his troops were short of strength. Although Liu Yu was very confident about the loyalty of the 1,000 cavalry under Ran Long's troops, he still couldn't be 100% at ease.

If there is any abnormal movement, and if there is any change in the attack on Taishan County, Liu Yu's more than 7,000 soldiers will be cut off from the retreat.

In the fourth year of Yongjia, early autumn.

After Liu Yu arranged everything in Langya County, he led more than 7,000 Qingzhou troops to start along the mountain tomb road and head towards Taishan County.

With the powerful men of Langya County along the way, Liu Yu led the army's supplies were always well protected.

When they arrived in Taishan County, they suddenly discovered that the powerful men in the Taishan Army had become their enemies.

After breaking through the two strongholds that resisted, Liu Yu learned that the former emperor envoy, the Jin court official named Gao Cheng, was returning along the way and proclaimed that the imperial emperor would sue Liu Yu later.

Moreover, Gao Cheng, the envoy of the emperor, claimed that after the Qingzhou army, Liu Yu, had taken rebellious actions after conquering Dongguan and Langya counties, suppressed and extorted all the powerful Chinese families, and many families were destroyed, and even after surrender, they would be investigated for Yinhu and land.

Therefore, the powerful people of Taishan County tried their best to resist when facing Dong Ping's Qingzhou Army's attack.

After all, this kind of touching money is comparable to the great revenge of killing their parents.

Among the Taishan County common in the mountain mausoleum, if Liu Yu wanted to control the entire county, he had to face these powerful men scattered on the plains of various valleys.

Otherwise, even if Liu Yu occupied several important cities and counties, it would be difficult to organically connect them. After all, these powerful forts were nailed to Taishan County like nails.

Therefore, in the face of this doubt, after conquering the two powerful families one after another, Liu Yu returned all the seized food, money, land and population to them.

Liu Yu used this to claim that he came to Taishan County to avenge the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who were killed before. The real enemy was the governor of Taishan County and the Taishan Goat clan who was later manipulated, and it had nothing to do with these little powerful men.

As long as these powerful men can ensure that the Qingzhou army is not attacked along the way, the Qingzhou army will definitely be in danger wherever they pass. Even if the Qingzhou army needs to collect food, grass, medicinal materials and other items, they can also be sold in the form of sale. As for the price, they are all fairly traded, and they can also be compensated with the white salt produced in Qingzhou.

After experiencing panic and fear and the despair of the Po family, these two powerful families were immediately grateful for all the population, Tian Ce, Dingkou and property that were sent back. As for the Dingkou tribes that had died in the battle of the Po family, it was no longer important.

Under the normal school of Liu Yu's practical actions, the powerful forts we encountered later were much more friendly to the Qingzhou army passing by.

These Qingzhou troops not only trade fairly, but also always claimed that their common enemy was the bully Yang family of Taishan County. As long as this powerful royal relative was eliminated, not only the other young powerful people, but also ordinary people would have a better life.

Although such words are completely unreasonable when you think about it carefully, even if the Yang family of Taishan County was wiped out by the Qingzhou army, their land, wealth, and Dingkou would fall into Liu Yu's hands, and would not fall into the hands of other Taishan County, nor into the hands of those ordinary people.

However, the truth is often blinded by some false lies.

Due to the constant natural disasters, there are also many poor people in Taishan County. In this atmosphere of "killing sheep and eating meat" that the Qingzhou army can promote, more and more civilians joined Liu Yu's accompanying army.

When Liu Yu led the Qingzhou army to Fenggao City, Taishan County, and eliminated 7,000 Qingzhou troops, Liu Yu was still following a temporary employing army composed of more than 10,000 poor people.
