Chapter 824

"Oh? Ha ha ha, Zhang Ren is a general. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to get. I can't use them. How could I kill him? "

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Yizhou has many talents since ancient times. It will naturally be appointed. This is the blessing of the country."

Hearing Liu Ye's words, the Yizhou officials behind him suddenly moved, because Liu Ye's words seemed to have a deep meaning and seemed to have a plan to win over the Yizhou gentry.

All the thirteen states in the world are full of gentry. If you want to rule a good place, it is indispensable to use the power of these gentry. For example, in Jiangdong, there are Gu, Zhang, Zhu and Lu Si. Gu Yong was the prime minister after Sun Quan became emperor. Lu Xun and Lu Kang became the pillar of the later period of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Zhu Huan, Zhu ran and Zhu Yi of the Zhu family were generals for a time. It can be said that Dongwu was completely supported by aristocratic families.

How can it be seen? After the separation of the Three Kingdoms, both the Wei Dynasty and the eastern Wu Dynasty adopted the system of hereditary soldiers, but the meaning was different. The system of "generation by generation of soldiers" meant "soldiers from generation to generation". Among the population under the rule, the household registration of a part of the people was defined as military households. The duty of these people was to serve as soldiers, and their father died and his son succeeded, providing sufficient military resources for Cao Wei.

In the system of hereditary soldiers in the eastern Wu Dynasty, the generals controlled the private soldiers and formed units. When the war was over, the generals of these clans were summoned together. Naturally, the generals of the aristocratic families had generals who were in charge of the troops for generations to control the military power.

If they want to manage the place well, the gentry must be drawn in. They master the land, conceal the population, train private soldiers, master the culture, economy and even some local military affairs. The talents of the clan must be far more than those of the poor families. However, their appointment should also be restricted, otherwise it is likely to evolve into the official system of the nine grades.

"Well, let's go and see General Zhang Ren first."

Liu Zhang hears Liu Ye's words, so he sends a man to open the prison and release Zhang Ren.

After a while, Zhang Ren was taken out, but his appearance is not the same as before. Zhang Ren had already been stripped of his armor, dishevelled, and staggering, where there was a trace of Yizhou army governor's spirit.

"Zhang Ren, why don't you kneel down and salute when you see the general?"

Liu Xun yelled.

"Hum! If it had not been for our Yizhou army, we would not have been defeated! "

Zhang Ren stares at Meng Da and others in Liangzhou military suit armour following Liu Ye, and says coldly.

Liu Zhang could not help frowning and yelled: "Zhang Ren, the general is the pillar stone of the imperial court. Please worship quickly."

Zhang Ren just snorted and did not move. When the officials of Yizhou saw Zhang Ren's appearance, their reactions were different: those who were dissatisfied with Zhang Ren in ordinary times were naturally killed and suggested Liu Ye should be executed; while Huang Quan and Pang Xi were worried about Zhang Ren and did not dare to beg for Zhang Ren's mercy.

Liu Zhang stamped his feet helplessly, but he still couldn't bear it in his heart. He turned to Liu Ye and said, "general, Zhang Ren is really rude. Please remove him to the people, and you can't record it forever!"

In fact, the way that General Liu Zhang wanted to save Zhang's life was on the surface.

"Oh, no hurry."

Liu Ye walks forward with a smile. Guan Hai is startled and stops Liu Ye in a hurry.

"The golden son of the general, don't sit in the hall. Be careful."

Without saying a word, Liu Ye stares at Guan Hai, and Guan Hai has to step back. And he is a few steps forward, personally untied the rope on Zhang Ren's body.

When the ministers of Yizhou saw that Liu Ye treated Zhang Ren with such courtesy, they were even more excited. Of course, it would be great to be able to serve such a Ming Lord.

In fact, Liu Ye is also relying on his high level of martial arts and his courage. If he is a man with no strength to tie a chicken, he certainly does not dare to be so close to Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren looks at Liu Ye with a complicated complexion. Naturally, he has no good feelings for the intruder of Yizhou. However, he is so polite to himself that he does not smile, so Zhang Ren gently thanks him.

"No matter what, I would have known that general Zhang is a famous general. I'm thirsty for talents. I don't know if general Zhang is willing to serve me?"

Zhang Ren shook his head slowly and firmly: "loyal officials do not serve the two masters. If I turn to the general, it is disloyal. Is the general willing to use unfaithful people?"

Liu Ye wants to say something more. Zhang Ren doesn't give him a chance to speak. Instead, he says, "Zhang Ren is defeated. His skills are not as good as others. Please kill the general as soon as possible."

Liu Ye sighs. It seems that Zhang Ren has made up his mind and only gets: "he will treat general Zhang's family well."

"So, thank you... Do it!"

Liu Ye sighs a long time and waves his hand. A guard has already stepped forward, escorting Zhang Ren to one side and holding up the butcher's knife.

SA!

"General, Zhang Ren's head is here!"

Liu Ye sighed: "the head and body will be buried together, and then take a hundred gold to give to Zhang Ren's family."

"Here it is

After dealing with Zhang Ren, Liu Ye said again, "please come with me into the city. We will hold a banquet today. You must be drunk.""Thank you, general!"

After entering Chengdu, Liu Ye held a banquet with the officials of Yizhou. At the same time, he paid more rewards to attract him. He directly announced that Yizhou's taxes would be reduced by half within three years. After hearing this news, the people of Yizhou are naturally grateful to Liu Ye.

At the same time, although Chengdu has already moved to the south, Jianning and nanzhong counties in the South have not yet surrendered. Liu Ye, on the other hand, orders Zhang jaw to lead 20000 troops to the south to force the counties in nanzhong to surrender at the same time.

Under the threat of Zhang's Bing Feng and Liu Ye's denunciation, the prefects of nanzhong and Jianning counties who had been attacked in Chengdu naturally did not dare to continue to disobey, but surrendered one after another. In less than two months, Yizhou was basically stable, which can be said to be a good form.

However, despite the capture of Yizhou, a lot of troubles ensued. The first thing was the appointment of officials. Liu Zhang could not continue to serve as the governor of Yizhou. Liu Ye ordered people to escort more than 100 members of Liu Zhang's family to the north and to Luoyang.

Liu Ye thought about the important task of Yizhou governor, and finally ordered the former Yizhou not to take the post of Huang Quan. On the one hand, Huang Quan was very familiar with Yizhou's officials and used it like a finger. On the other hand, he was loyal and loyal. Since he had surrendered, he would certainly work hard.

At the same time, Liu Ye also promoted Fei Yi, Jiang Wan and other important officials from Yizhou. At the same time, he continued to put Liu Ba, Pang Xi and other important officials on the list of Yizhou officials, which led Yizhou gentry to guide Liu Ye one after another.

The prefects of the northern counties of Yizhou were transferred from Yongzhou to Liangzhou. After all, it was not appropriate to use Yizhou people again. However, Yizhou people were not idle. Instead, they were allowed to work in Liangzhou. In this way, the estrangement between Guanzhong and Shuzhong could be eliminated.
