The first is to avoid overly irritating the gentry and causing them to resist fiercely!

The second is to slowly weaken the strength of the gentry class!

The third is to find new replaceable classes and replace them!

Every step is very important!

Especially the third step.

Many people in the Yellow Turban Army came from a rough background.

But after they have made great achievements, they must be rewarded.

Otherwise, there is no way to win over people’s hearts!

These people are the new noble class in the future, who will replace these noble classes!

The world of adults is never just about simple benevolence and righteousness. The most important thing is that there must be benefits at all, otherwise who would be willing to sacrifice their lives for you!

An hour flies by.

Soon, Mr. Wang and others returned.

It was right as Qin Yuan expected.

They ultimately chose the second option.

In their opinion, they did not think that Qin Yuan or the Yellow Turban Army could successfully overthrow the ruling Han Dynasty!

The hundreds of years of rule of the Han Dynasty have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

The powerful surrender of the Guangning family allowed Qin Yuan to easily control Guangning County.

There were originally 200,000 troops in the city, but there were still 100,000 left after the war. In addition to the 50,000 forced soldiers, there were 150,000 new soldiers.

After obtaining these troops, Qin Yuan immediately arranged for them to transfer jobs.

After that, each family sent representatives to accompany Qin Yuan's generals and led the army to various cities in Guangning County to capture them one by one.

It has to be said that with the cooperation of these nobles, it took less than three days to capture the entire Guangning County!

The efficiency is really fast!

This is enough to show how deep the influence of the gentry class is.

In this area, the words of the gentry are more effective than the emperor's decree!

Xialuo County, one of the nine counties in Shanggu County.

Compared with Qin Yuan's army, they took Guangning County directly and spent many days to capture it.

Han Xin led his army to various places to connect the Yellow Turban Army in various places.

Although all the Yellow Turbans knew that there was a Yellow Turban Commander named Qin Yuan above their heads.

However, they almost always listen to the tune but not the propaganda.

Perhaps only the orders of a great and wise teacher can be obeyed absolutely.

For example, when Qin Yuan ordered to attack various counties and gather to attack Shanggu County, less than half of the Yellow Turban Army obeyed.

Moreover, with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yellow Turban Army expanded rapidly, recruiting many farmers and occupying a lot of territory, making the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army everywhere ambitious, thinking that they were the generation of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang!

Some even simply occupied a city or a place and became emperors to enjoy the blessings, and even ignored Qin Yuan's orders.

Of course, the sweet dream of the Tu Emperor was awakened by Han Xin not long after.

As for those who were still stubborn after beating them, Han Xin did not get used to it.

Poof!

A head with wide eyes rolled to the ground.

His headless body is still half lying on the bed, holding a beautiful girl in each hand!

But this beauty's face was pale and frightened.

"This general is Xiaoqushuai, who was appointed by the great virtuous master, and is the general under the command of Daqushuai Qin Yuan!"

"Chang Ting uses arrogance, extravagance and lewdness, harms the loyal and good, and disobeys orders. I will kill him on behalf of the great virtuous teacher!"

"Do you have any objections?"

Han Xin held the bloody sword and turned to look at the dozens of people standing outside the door.

These are all Chang Tingyong's cronies.

According to the predetermined plan, the Yellow Turban Rebel Army in Xialuo County should have launched a large-scale attack on Xialuo County three days ago.

But when Han Xin arrived, he found that Chang Tingyong ignored Qin Yuan's order.

Moreover, he secretly colluded with the government, eradicated the government's enemies in the name of the Yellow Turban Army, and even led the army to suppress a group of refugees who resisted the government!

When Han Xin arrived, thousands of swordsmen and axemen were sent to try to kill him.

All these actions completely angered Han Xin.

After that, Han Xin led his troops into Chang Tingyong's camp, and while he was still rolling on top of the woman, he chopped off his head with a knife!

"You actually killed Chang Qushuai, we have to do it... ah, save me!"

one person shouted.

But before he could finish his words, Han Xin cut him off at the waist, and the blood on the severed limbs was like running water.

His face was ferocious and frightened, and his upper body was still struggling wildly, until he slowly died after dozens of seconds.

The others turned pale with fright, and took a few steps back, lowering their heads in silence, unable to look directly into Han Xin's eyes.

The man in front of me looks elegant, but he is actually an executioner who kills without blinking an eye!

"Mobilize all troops and horses immediately and assemble to Juyang County!"

Han Xin ordered.

"Yes, Han Qushuai!"

Everyone responded one after another.

Han Xin and Bai Qi had no formal official position in the court.

However, among the Yellow Turban Army, Qin Yuan asked them to be canonized as Xiaoqushuai.

At the same time, he also received personal authorization from Zhang Jiao and was given the command of Xiaoqu!

With Han Xin's personal identity, coupled with Qin Yuan's name as Commander-in-Chief of Daqu, and 300,000 elite cavalry, he was able to assemble the scattered Yellow Turban Army wherever they went.

Even if there are some dissatisfied Yellow Turban leaders, either they must be beaten until they do, or the dissatisfied ones must be killed and a new leader be promoted.

After all, for the Yellow Turban soldiers at the bottom, what they believe in is the great sage and mentor Zhang Jiao.

The so-called Yellow Turban leaders are just the Yellow Turbans whose positions and strength are higher than theirs.

Even in Shanggu County, Qin Yuan's reputation is bigger and louder than Zhang Jiao's.

Even without Zhang Jue's will, Qin Yuan's name is enough to suppress most of the Yellow Turban Army!

Relying on these relationships and Han Xin's outstanding abilities, he soon visited various cities and contacted and assembled more than 80% of the Yellow Turban Army in Shanggu County.

The Yellow Turban Army, which was originally scattered across various places, fighting piecemeal and aimless, suddenly formed an extremely large force and conquered various cities one after another.

At the same time, this Yellow Turban Army has entered Juyang County and is aiming directly at Shanggu County!

If Han Xin mobilized and collected the Yellow Turban Army from all over Shanggu County and condensed them into one force, they would still only be an existential threat to the government of Shanggu County.

The 1.2 million troops led by Bai Qi and Luo Cheng were completely crazy. They marched south to attack cities and plunder territory. In just a few days, they conquered thirty cities.

This includes two county towns!

At the beginning, every time a city was attacked, it relied on strong military capabilities to defeat the defenders in the city and capture the city!

As they went deeper and deeper, the army led by Bai Qi became famous. Before the army arrived, the government troops were already frightened by the news. They were even forced to open the city gate and surrender due to the approaching army!

Although Bai Qi has the title of God of Killing, this battle followed Qin Yuan's combat policy of killing the enemy to shock him and then recruiting him.

The army held high the slogan 'surrender if not killed, resist to death'!

As long as the enemy is willing to surrender, they will not be killed!

On the contrary, the more intense the enemy's resistance, the more tragic the final outcome will be!

This also led to the reason why many government troops finally chose to surrender.

Even if the government does not surrender, the power of the gentry class in the city will unite and force the government to surrender!

After all, there is a precedent in Guangning County. As long as they are willing to pay some price, they can survive.

And if one chooses to be an enemy of Qin Yuan, he will almost never escape the end of confiscating his family and annihilating his clan.

As for relying on one's own strength to fight against Qin Yuan's army, that is simply impossible. At least those who had this idea are now dead!

In less than ten days, all the other counties in Shanggu County, except Juyang County, had fallen.

At the same time, several armies have entered Juyang from all directions and are approaching the county!
Chapter completed!
