Chapter 152 Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Since the end of the Battle of Licheng, the entire territory of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Xiao Lan. The work of fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields is in full swing. The army is also being reorganized quickly. At the same time, the work of judging the nobles is also in an orderly manner. As the war continues, evil-doing nobles are publicly beheaded every day!

Although Xiao Lan had already expected the darkness of the gentry in this era, but when he really came into contact with these dark sides, he was shocked to find that this darkness was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Within the gentry, except for some young people, almost every member of the clan has committed various crimes, and the crimes of most of them are enough to cause them to be beheaded.

Xiao Lan has no intention of keeping his hand, according to the Taiping Constitution and Code compiled by Brilliant No. [-], everyone who deserves to be killed will be killed, and no one will be kept!
Since then, Xiao Lan has won the hearts and minds of the people in Qingzhou. Moreover, as the news of him beating up the local tyrants and dividing the land continues to spread throughout the world, he will also welcome the hearts of the people all over the world. Of course, following There is also the hostility of the gentry!

However, since Xiao Lan had already made a choice between the hearts of the people and the gentry, no matter what the outcome was, he would accept it all. In this world, nothing is perfect.

Moreover, by wiping out the remaining gentry in Qingzhou, what he gained was not only the hearts of the people, but also the people's anointing that those gentry had collected for many years, and gained countless amounts of money and food. Even if there was no production, it was enough to feed the 30 Taiping Army. In the past two years, he was still very rich!

Xu He, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Yu Du and others who were born in the Yellow Turban Army couldn't help but sigh with emotion. They thought they were bandits when they were in the Yellow Turban Army, but in comparison, these gentry families are the biggest in the world. Bandit!
Similarly, there are advantages and disadvantages. Without these gentry, there is a serious shortage of officials in Qingzhou, and some cities are even unmanaged. Although the people are popular at this time, it is not a long-term solution after all.In desperation, he had no choice but to issue a recruiting order, a sign that talented and educated poor people in Qingzhou would come out to become officials.

Fortunately, although Qingzhou, which has been in chaos for many years, does not have any great talents, people who govern one side can still be found. In addition, there are development strategies, rules and regulations, and the Taiping Constitution formulated by Xiao Lan with the help of Brilliant No. [-]. , but it also made Qingzhou settle down quickly.

Subsequently, Xiao Lan introduced several advanced policies based on the ideas of later generations. First, the Taiping Army officials came forward to run schools in various places and implement compulsory education. The cultural monopoly of the gentry!

Secondly, set up civil and military examinations to select officials and generals, and then set up an official evaluation system as the standard for promotion, so as to avoid the phenomenon of incompetence of high-ranking officials. In addition, officials should be prohibited from engaging in things other than being officials, so as to avoid using power for personal gain and competing for gains with the people. , In order to ensure that officials can have no worries, Xiao Lan also greatly increased the salaries of officials.

Seeing that Qingzhou is becoming more and more prosperous under the management of Xiao Lan, at this time the Allied Forces of the [-]th Route Princes finally took down Sishui Pass. Among them, it is really thanks to the righteousness of Guan Erye!

However, it was said that day when the princes from all walks of life were forced by Hua Xiong's tyrannical strength, and no one dared to stand up to fight, a loud voice suddenly came from the crowd:
"Report to the lord, the final general is willing to fight!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they all turned their heads to look, only to see that the person speaking was a tall man nine feet tall, with a red face, and a three-foot long beard. If it wasn't Guan Erye, who was it?
And beside him were Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this Liu Bei also got the position of Pingyuan Commander, but in the end he had to abandon his position and leave because he offended the eunuch.Since then, they have been leading Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, wandering around the big man in a daze, wanting to see if there is any chance of getting ahead.

However, in this year, if you want to get ahead in a short period of time, there are nothing more than two ways, one is to have money, and the other is to have connections. Unfortunately, Liu Bei has nothing.In fact, he also thought about going to join his fellow brother Gongsun Zan, but a few years ago, Gongsun Zan himself was just a captain of Huwuheng, and he had no future at all if he took refuge in Gongsun Zan.

This coming and going made Liu Bei not even have a place to settle down, and until now he heard that Cao Cao issued a call for thieves, and he came to see if he had a chance at the Suanzao League.Originally, as the three of them, they were really not qualified to participate in such an alliance, but fortunately, Gongsun Zan was still there, at least he was brought in.

Then he, Liu Bei, revealed his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty quietly. Although the princes still disdain him, at least they remembered Liu Bei's name.

"Who are you, and what position do you occupy now!" Yuan Shu sneered. He Yuan Shu valued his status the most. He naturally disdained Liu Bei, a grassroots family member of the Han family, and even his two brothers, Liu Bei, looked down on him.

"Horse archer." Guan Yu responded without arrogance or rashness.

Yuan Shu just let out a sneer, and said angrily: "If people know that our allied army only sent one horse archer to fight, wouldn't it be embarrassing for all of us."

"That's better than the generals under General Hou!" Sun Jian Dang snorted coldly, "I didn't even hold on to a single move, and I was killed!"

"Sun Jian, what do you mean!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily.

Sun Jian snorted coldly without showing any weakness: "What do you think I mean, that's what I mean, what's the matter, do you still want to turn against me?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to get angry, Gongsun Zan quickly smoothed things over and said, "The enemy is now, the two of you should stop arguing." He also said to Yuan Shao, "Don't worry, the leader. I think Guan Yunchang has extraordinary martial arts skills. He can kill Hua Xiong." Gongsun Zan still has the confidence to say this, he also experienced Guan Yu's martial arts during the Yellow Turban War, at least, it should be more than enough to deal with Hua Xiong.

"Leader, I see that the strong man's appearance is extraordinary, and he can stand up at such a time, I think he has something to rely on, why not let him fight." Cao Cao also helped.

He has always loved talents. During the Yellow Turban War, he had already dealt with the three brothers Liu Bei, and he knew that Guan Yu's ability was really extraordinary, so he loved talents and wanted to win Guan Yu over.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao had said that, Yuan Shao also nodded, and said to Guan Yu, "You may wish to issue a military order."

"If you can't kill Hua Xiong, come and see me!" Guan Yu said without hesitation.

"Okay! The leader of this book will order you to fight against Hua Xiong!" Yuan Shao shouted loudly.

"Promise!" Guan Yu immediately responded, and was about to go out, but he saw Cao Cao warming the wine and holding a cup, saying: "Please drink this cup to your heart's content."

"It doesn't matter, I guess Hua Xiong is just a peddler who sells his head, he will come back whenever he goes." Guan Yu said proudly, and then he raised his saber and went out to meet the strong enemy.

Everyone was laughing at Guan Yu's big words in their hearts, but the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened. Hua Xiong, who was invincible in the eyes of all the princes, was beheaded by Guan Yu's three moves and fell off his horse. When the male head returned, the glass of wine Cao Cao poured for him was still warm.

At this moment, everyone looked at Liu Bei differently. In any case, Liu Bei was worthy of their high regard for having such a strong general.

Cao Cao's eyes burst into a bright light. Although he knew that Guan Yu's force was not weak, he didn't expect it to be so powerful, but it was not the time to be shocked, and he quickly shouted to Yuan Shao: "Leader, Hua Xiong is dead, please Hurry up and order troops to take Sishui Pass."

Yuan Shao also reacted quickly, and quickly shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to take Sishui Pass."

Following Yuan Shao's order, the allied troops rushed out and rushed towards the Sishui Pass.

After Li Su knew that even Hua Xiong was dead, and after resisting casually for a while, he knew that he was invincible, so he gave up Sishui Pass without hesitation, and headed towards Hulao Pass with the remnants of the defeated general. .The Allied forces also easily took the Sishui Pass.

After a big victory, the allied army rested at Sishui Pass for a few days, and the army immediately set off, took advantage of the victory and pursued, and launched an attack on Hulao Pass, which is the number one pass in the world.
