Rebirth Wei Yan

() "This, this -" After Liu Biao heard what Kuai Yue said, he was also frightened. Although Xiangyang City was quite strong, there was no guarantee that it would be broken through by the joint efforts of Yuan Shu and Wei Yan!

"My lord, the current situation is not as good as that of others. I suggest you send an envoy to Fuyang County, agree with General Zuo's suggestion, and have a truce with Yuan Highway!" After hearing Liu Biao's stammering words, Kuai Yue knew that Liu Biao was afraid.

He quickly said further!

"Yidu is right, but I don't know who to send to Fuyang County?!" Liu Biao finally agreed reluctantly!

"My lord, why don't I take a trip?" After hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue took the initiative and said! In fact, Kuai Yue also saw that Liu Biao was just a conservative leader. Although he was talented in governing the local area, he lacked

Domineering, if it is not lost in peaceful times, it is a good refuge, but now is the troubled times, and it is far from feasible to have a foothold in troubled times with only the talent of governance!

Another purpose of Kuai Yue's trip to Fuyang County this time is to meet the world-famous "Flying Bear" Zuo General Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, and to see what this unworthy man is capable of!

After the discussion between Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue carried Liu Biao's personal letter and was protected by a team of guards heading to Fuyang County, Nanyang County, Wei Yan's territory!

Just two days after Liu Biao sent the envoy, Yuan Shu, the rear general of Nanyang County, also learned that Wei Yan had defeated the 40,000 army of Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia County. He breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he wanted to unite with Wei Yan to occupy the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop!

"Lord, if you and General Zuo occupy the entire Jingzhou, who will be the leader of Jingzhou? What will happen if General Zuo counterattacks?!" After Yuan Shu just expressed his thoughts, his subordinates

Counselor Li Feng asked Yuan Shu!

At this time, Yuan Shu remembered that although Wei Yan was great, if Wei Yan competed with him for Jingzhou after occupying Jingzhou, what would he do then?! Would he be Wei Yan's opponent?! After what Yuan Shu thought about,

A tremor of fear!

Moreover, after years of fighting, Yuan Shu was tired and thought of a temporary truce. Finally, he decided to send an envoy to Fuyang County. At the same time, he also planted the seeds of guarding against Wei Yan!

When Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, the governor of Nanyang County, and the later general Yuan Shu all sent envoys to Fuyang County, Wei Yan, who returned to Fuyang County, was not idle. Then he sent troops to Pingch, Xinxi, and others in Yuzhou.

There are ten large and small cities such as Langling in Nanjun!

Although Huang Zhong and Gan Ning encountered a lot of trouble when they attacked this time, without the local county guards sending troops to support, what happened to the military strength of these counties? The opponents of these two, plus Wei Yan

Personally led the troops to defeat Huang Zu's 40,000-strong army. Shortly after the resistance began, the local county magistrate left the city and surrendered! Langling and Xinxi were the administrators of two large new territories, while Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were temporarily stationed.

In Suixian and Xinxi!

As for the large and small officials in the newly occupied city, Wei Yan used them according to the same level as those who surrendered before the war. During the war, those who surrendered were demoted by two levels. Those who were captured in the end were executed if they were found to have bad deeds. Those who were incompetent were removed from their posts on the spot, and those who were talented were dismissed.

The latter started from scratch as a petty official! Of course, this became the standard for Wei Yan’s treatment of local officials after the war!

Of course, when dealing with occupied new cities, Wei Yan also separated civil and military affairs. Civilian officials were responsible for local administration, and military attachés were responsible for local military affairs! Separation of civil and military affairs was implemented to prevent civilian officials from interfering in military affairs and military attachés from getting involved in administration!

After Xun Yu and Guo Jiada arrived in the newly occupied county, they first identified the big landowners, big families and evildoers in the county who had committed evil deeds, conducted public trials and adjudication, and then distributed the acquired land to the landless.

As for the ordinary big families, the two of them treated them indifferently. As for the big families who had taken refuge and acted as internal collaborators before Huang Zhong and Gan Ning sent troops, the two of them appointed themselves elected by their families to temporarily serve in the county!

Under the combined punches of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, the ten newly occupied cities were temporarily taken for themselves. At this time, Wei Yan's territory was more than three times larger than before! The population was also

It reached 800,000. Although Wei Yan did not occupy a single county, its territory and population were no worse than some smaller counties! Of course, it was still far less than the number one county in the world like Nanyang County!

Let's not talk about Wei Yan's men settling in new territories, but the envoy from Jingzhou, Kuai Yue, also dressed as a merchant and led his guards to Pingshi County under Wei Yan's rule. Originally, Kuai Yue thought that Wei Yan had occupied Pingshi County not long ago, and in addition

Wei Yan's army was extremely powerful and must have been exploited. However, after entering Pingshi County, he didn't expect that all the people's faces were glowing. They couldn't help but ask, and then they learned that Wei Yan had divided up the land they reached.

Moreover, under Wei Yan's rule, only normal taxes were collected, and there were no excessive or miscellaneous taxes. Even all the tax items collected were carved into stone tablets and erected in the county seat, so that if officials arbitrarily collected taxes, they could respond immediately! And, after hearing this, Kuai Yue

He just nodded and lamented the Qingming under Wei Yan's rule without listening!

After Kuai Yue entered the county, he found that the entire county was extremely clean and tidy, and the soldiers on guard were all well-mannered. They did not want to stagger around and bask in the sun like the soldiers on guard in other cities! Of course, Kuai Yue also remembered

When I entered the city, I didn’t pay the city entry tax! I couldn’t help but ask the people next to me!

However, Kuai Yue's question got him into trouble. Who knew that Kuai Yue had more than 20 guards behind him to protect him!

"Sir, please show your identity certificate or your guarantor in the city?!" While Kuai Yue was asking around, two soldiers came to Kuai Yue and said to him!

Of course, this is also a measure stipulated by Wei Yan to prevent hostile forces from entering his city to collect intelligence!

"Who is my husband?! Do you, a big-headed soldier, know this casually?! Get out of the way!" At this moment, a guard leader next to Kuai Yue pushed the soldier away and said!

"Sir, this is your duty! Please cooperate, sir!" the soldier said indifferently!

Finally, after requesting to see local officials and repeatedly proving his identity, Kuai Yue was released! However, this also made Kuai Yue very interested in the left general Wei Yan who was about to meet him! Then came the protection of the Flying Bear Army.

Next, we came to Fuyang County, where Wei Yan was governed!

Just when Wei Yan was very happy after hearing the report sent back by Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, a guard reported to Wei Yan that Kuai Yue, the envoy from Jingzhou, had come to visit!

"Kuai Yue?! Please come quickly!" When Wei Yan heard about the Jingzhou envoy, he was ready to hang him out for a few days, but when he heard that the envoy's name was Kuai Yue, he quickly changed his mind!

This Kuai Yue, whose courtesy name is Yidu, was born in Zhonglu, Xiangyang. In the first year of Ping Dynasty (190), Liu Biao, a middle lord of the Northern Army, went to serve as the governor of Jingzhou in response to the imperial order. However, he felt hesitant about the situation at that time, so he went to Yicheng

At the banquet, Kuai Yue and his brother Kuai Liang were invited to discuss strategies with Cai Mao.

Liu Biao asked: "At this time, the clan traitors are rampant and the people are not loyal. Yuan Shu is making trouble in Nanyang. The chaos has been difficult to solve. I also hope to recruit troops here, but I am afraid that the people are unwilling to join the army. What should you do?"

Kuai Liang first proposed that as long as those in power can practice benevolence and righteousness, the people will naturally be happy to join and conscription will no longer be a problem. However, Kuai Yue disagreed with Kuai Liang's statement and said: "Rulers in peaceful times all value benevolence and righteousness, and those in troubled times

Rulers will pay attention to power and strategy. Soldiers are also noble and not expensive, and the important thing is to get their loyalty and support. Yuan Shu is brave enough but not resourceful and decisive. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both warriors, so there is no need to worry at all;

However, most of the leaders of the clan thieves are greedy and cruel, and their subordinates are also worried about them. I have some cultivated and capable people. As long as I send them to the clan traitor leaders to offer inducements, the clan traitor leaders will definitely come with their troops.

.Then you only need to seize the opportunity, kill those cruel and unscrupulous people, and then appease the tribesmen who have recruited them. In this way, the soldiers, civilians and people of this state will support the old and the weak because of your kindness. At that time, your soldiers and civilians will surrender.

, we need to occupy Jiangling in the south and guard Xiangyang in the north. Then the eight counties of Jingzhou can be pacified by sending a message. From now on, even if Yuan Shu and others come with troops again, there will be nothing they can do!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao greatly appreciated that Kuai Yue's strategy was just like that of a prisoner, and adopted his strategy. After that, Kuai Yue lured a total of fifty-five sect leaders (some say fifteen), and Liu Biao

According to Kuai Yue's previous suggestion, they were killed together and annexed their tribes. However, at that time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng of the Jiangxia thieves were still defending Xiangyang. Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to persuade Zhang and Chen to

The people were persuaded and agreed to surrender.

Historically, after Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, he was very happy when he heard that Kuai Yue had surrendered. He immediately wrote to Xun Yu and said: "I am not happy because I got Jingzhou, but I am happy because I got Yidu (Kuai Yue).

) and happy." This shows Kuai Yue's reputation and talent, as well as his influence that surpasses Jing Xiang.

Although Wei Yan did not know Cao Cao's historical evaluation of Kuai Yue, Wei Yan knew the role of Kuai Yue in Liu Biao's rule of Jingzhou. He also knew that Kuai Yue was a famous celebrity in Jingxiang, and the Kuai family was also from Jingzhou.

A big family! Although Wei Yan wants to take Kuai Yue as his own, he also knows that it is impossible now, but it will be difficult to say in the future, so now Wei Yan also wants to draw closer to himself and Kuai Yue!
