Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 573: Internal issues

Zhuge Mengxue saw Ai Lang with excitement in her eyes. Ai Lang got off his horse and walked quickly to Zhuge Mengxue. As soon as he grasped her slender hand, he was relieved and couldn't help but said: "I am so worried about receiving your letter!" Zhuge Mengxue With a gentle expression, he smiled softly. Then he smiled and exclaimed: "The husband is really the first person in the world! Single-handedly surrendered more than 70,000 Yellow Turban army!"

Ailang laughed, his expressions were quite fascinating, and then he said in a rare and modest manner: "That's nothing! These Yellow Turbans are actually ordinary people, and they cannot be compared with the real army!" Thinking of so many Yellow Turban chaos The army suddenly appeared, frowned, and asked, "Mengxue, how come so many Yellow Turban rebellions suddenly appeared? Although I have neglected the local people’s livelihood a bit, I ask myself that various policies are better than those under Cao Cao’s rule. They are all inferior, is it because they are loyal to the Cao family?"

Zhuge Mengxue shook his head, "It's not that simple!" Then he said, "I don't know the matter for a while. Why not sit down at the General's Mansion and talk more about it." Ailang nodded.

Soon after, the group came to the gate of the General's Mansion. This Xuchang's General Mansion, as mentioned above, is actually Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion before. After taking over Xuchang, Ai Lang changed it to the General's Mansion.

Ai Lang and Zhuge Mengxue walked into the hall side by side, and then Zhang Lang sat down on a desk on the left side of the hall. Zhuge Mengxue and Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu stood beside him, and several leaders of the Yellow Turban Army were standing at the door, escorted by the soldiers.

Ai Lang asked Zhuge Mengxue: "Mengxue, how did these Yellow Turban rebellion come out?"

Zhuge Mengxue adjusted his thoughts, and then said: "As the husband said, there is no major negligence in the husband's policy, and it shouldn't be the case. The original concubine was also very puzzled about this. Until recently, I probably know some clues from the secret report." I glanced at Ai Lang, "In fact, although the husband’s policy did not make a big mistake, after all, he occupied these areas for a short time, and the main energy was not placed on the people’s livelihood. Therefore, the speed of implementation of various policies is not satisfactory, which makes a considerable number of civilians not enjoy any benefits. Coupled with the previous wars, their lives are worse than they were under Cao Pi! At this time, the local gentry and class, who had been seized by their husbands a large amount of land, had grievances towards the husband. At this moment, they thought they had the opportunity to instigate the people everywhere to resist the husband in the name of the Yellow Turban Army!..."

Hearing these words, Ellen suddenly understood. I couldn't help muttering to myself: "It seems that many times you can't be rushed!"

He raised his head and looked at the prisoners held at the door, stood up and walked in front of them. Seeing Lü Bu coming, several prisoners couldn't help becoming frightened, and their heads dropped uncontrollably.

Ai Lang shouted: "Look up!" The several prisoners were shocked, and subconsciously raised their heads to look at Ai Lang, panic to the extreme.

Ailang looked at the people in front of him and asked, "Do you want to die or want to live?" The prisoners couldn't help swallowing, and murmured, "I want to live!" "Very good. Those people are neither. Your parents and ancestors didn't give you any benefits, so why bother to die for them!" When several people heard this, they immediately resonated in their hearts.

Ellen said, "As long as you tell the truth, not only will I not kill you, but everyone will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." Several people were forbidden to shine, and the original fear in their eyes was almost immediately replaced by desire.

Ailang looked at the expressions of these people, was very satisfied, smiled slightly, and said: "Now I will ask you. Who is it that organizes you?"

...

Ailang spent more than an hour inquiring about these prisoners and obtained a lot of important information. It turns out that the enemy general who was picked and killed by Ailang at the beginning was the deputy commander of the Yellow Turban Army. He was called General Renyi, named Zhao Ren, and was the younger brother of Zhao Du, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army. This chaos was actually brewing shortly after Cao Cao was killed. At that time, large families in several places were involved in some relations with Cao Zhi. Although relying on a lot of money to buy Cao Pi's wife and concubine, they finally escaped. These families are always in a state of anxiety. Soon after, the Cao Jun and Lu Bu Jun fought. In order to raise enough military supplies, Cao Pi not only blackmailed the big wealthy families, but also distributed them to the private sector. This put the people everywhere under great pressure, and in some places even the people were not living. Those big families that had just escaped a catastrophe took this opportunity to act in the name of the Yellow Turban Army to instigate the people to organize these people and to overthrow Cao Pi. These big families are headed by the four big clans of Kong, Zhao, Chen, and Jiang, and Zhao Du of the Zhao family is the direct leader and planner of this chaos, and is called the great general of heaven.

However, the changes in the situation exceeded the expectations of Zhao Du and others. Soon after Cao Jun was defeated, the barbarian army that entered the hinterland of Yanzhou was in trouble everywhere. This completely disrupted the plans of Zhao Du and others. But what made them very happy was that the barbarian army retreated shortly afterwards and was defeated in one fell swoop by the war cavalry led by Lu Bu on the Luoshui River near Luoyang, and the situation immediately stabilized. Zhao Du and the others saw that Cao Pi's barbaric forces were successively driven away by Lu Bu, while Xuchang and other places fell into Lu Bu's hands, and they planned to cancel the previous plan. However, the land policy promulgated by Lu Bu not long afterwards completely angered these traditional big families headed by Zhao Du. So the plan that was originally pressed was immediately put on the agenda. Zhao Du sent people around to contact like-minded people, and at the same time incited the common people who were still living in difficult circumstances. Finally, this large-scale uprising was finally launched when Ailang attacked the Luoyang army and moved away. According to Zhao Du's request, all the people in the incident wore yellow scarves on their heads, and the slogans they shouted were also those of the Yellow Turban army, just like the resurrection of the Yellow Turbans.

Ailang made people take the captives down, and couldn't help cursing: "I thought it was the remnant of the Yellow Turban! After a long time, it turned out that these big gentry pretended to be the Yellow Turban army and made trouble!" Then frowned, "This is not a bad thing, it is. Just reminded me to wake up!" Zhuge Mengxue couldn't help expressing admiration when seeing her husband say this.

Ai Lang thought of one thing, and quickly asked Zhuge Mengxue: "Is there any news from Suiyang?" According to the confession of the prisoners just now, their first goal in the chaos this time was to divide the troops and seize Xuchang. And Suiyang. The purpose of that Zhao Capital was to cut off the back of Lu Bu's army, and to take advantage of the trend to attack Xuzhou after capturing Suiyang! After this Zhao Du became a general of Heaven, his ambitions also expanded rapidly, and he wanted to take advantage of this troubled time to rise in one fell swoop to achieve hegemony!

Zhuge Mengxue listened to Ai Lang’s question and said: “Not long ago, I received a report from Suiyang that they were besieged by hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans and requested that we send reinforcements to rescue them. According to the confession of those prisoners, this Yellow Turban The leader of the army must be Zhao Du undoubtedly."

Ai Lang hummed, his face was thoughtful.

Ma Yunlu couldn't help saying: "Suiyang is only after five thousand people's army and one thousand regular army. Although the Yellow Turban Army is a mob, hundreds of thousands of horses besieged, I am afraid that Suiyang will be unstoppable sooner or later!" Zhuge Mengxue said: "Yun Lu is extremely true. In addition, there is a huge armory in Suiyang. If it falls into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, it will greatly increase their strength!" Ai Lang couldn't help but become anxious when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Is the only one of Zhao Du in the chaos army?" Zhuge Mengxue shook his head and said, "More than that. According to the report received not long ago, except for the Zhao brothers In addition to the two Yellow Turban Army. There are also three Yellow Turban Army, one in Wancheng, one in Runan, and the other in the vicinity of Chen Guo. Although the strength is not as strong as these two groups, it should not be underestimated. This is just right. It can be corroborated with the confessions of those prisoners, and I believe it must be the Yellow Turban army led by the Kong family, the Chen family, and the Jiang family."

Ellen couldn't help his head getting bigger, and murmured: "What a fuck! This is just a few litters of mice! It seems that it will take a lot of work to completely wipe them out!"

Zhuge Mengxue thought for a while, and said to Ai Lang: "Husband, my concubine has an idea."

Ai Lang smiled and said: "You must have something wonderful, right? Come on!" Zhuge Mengxue smiled slightly, and then talked about her thoughts. After hearing her words, everyone present showed a surprised expression.

While Ailang was busy quelling the civil strife, Cao Pi had already returned to Luoyang. The failure of Guanzhong's military exploits made him exhausted and wanted to rest for a while in Luoyang. Although Liu Bei had achieved a magnificent victory, the price he paid was not small, and he was unable to take advantage of the situation to expand his victory. Liu Bei's armies were put into rest and reorganization, and the various places damaged by the war also started difficult restoration work. The victory in Chang'an did not bring much joy to Liu Bei. Instead, there was a sad atmosphere everywhere.

At this moment, Liu Bei received a detailed report from Xuchang, and learned that although Lu Bu had defeated Cao Jun, he had stopped offensive and resolved the chaos because of internal civil unrest. Although Liu Bei didn't say anything about this, he was very happy in his heart.

At noon that day, Liu Bei, accompanied by Zhuge Liang, strolled on the city walls of Chang'an. Liu Bei couldn't help but said with emotion: "The changes in the world are often unexpected! I thought it would be difficult for me to rise again for this life, but I didn't expect to seize the opportunity to break into the pass and seize the old capital Chang'an!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "God is fair. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." Liu Bei smiled slightly. After the two strolled for a while, Liu Bei stopped and turned to look at the mountains and rivers outside the city. He couldn't help but said: "Although Lu Bu severely injured Cao Jun, he encountered a great internal crisis. How does the gentleman think the situation in the east will develop?"

Zhuge Liang thought: "The mere remnants of the yellow turban will never turn the sky! ... But these people can definitely delay Lu Bu for a long time. I estimate that at least this year, Lu Bu will be difficult to expand. Cao Pi can take this opportunity to recover. And we can take this opportunity to capture Xiliang. If the opportunity permits, maybe after we have captured Xiliang, we can transfer troops to the east to capture Luoyang."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Mr.'s suggestion is certainly not wrong. But our situation is not very good now. Although the battle of Chang'an won a great victory, we also suffered heavy losses. How can we complete the plan of Mr.'s expansion? Dongjin Not to mention it for the time being, just talk about the capture of Xiliang. Mao Jie still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. The current situation of our army wants to capture Xiliang quickly.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and immediately explained his specific plan. Liu Bei exuded a look of awe, and couldn't help complimenting: "Such a trick, only a gentleman can think of!" Zhuge Liang smiled and clasped his fists: "The lord is too acclaimed!" Liu Bei thought for a while, and then resolutely said: "Time is not waiting! Go ahead with Mr.'s plan!"

In Luoyang's prime minister's house, Cao Pishi didn't know how to sleep, and his brows hadn't been loosened since he came back, and his wives and concubines hadn't been there for many days. That night, Cao Pi convened a group of counselors in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the current situation. Even Guo Jia, who was ill, was carried to the hall.

Cao Pi glanced at the crowd and couldn't help frowning: "The current situation is very unfavorable to me, so I won't go into details. The purpose of today's discussion is nothing else, but to find a way out of the current predicament!" Glancing at everyone, " I hope you all speak freely!"
