Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 457: Chen Qun and Feng Yi
In the battlefield of Goryeo Kingdom, a dragon flag was planted on the wall of Uiju City, and the fierce general Chang Yuchun climbed the wall, and there were corpses all over the place below.
In order to capture the city in the north of Goryeo, the Liaodong Army besieged Uiju City and attacked it by force.
The 80,000 defenders of Goryeo were killed, and Mingguan led the Guanning iron cavalry into the city.
"How should the Koryo officials guarding the city be dealt with?"
Obai led a group of officials from Goryeo to Mingguan. This group of Goryeo officials were all terrified, and their lives and deaths depended on the thoughts of the lords of the Han Empire.
"All resisters are killed. Those who offer the city can get some of the resisters' property and hold a high position."
Under the order of Mingguan, dozens of Koryo officials were killed, and the remaining officials obeyed. They got part of the spoils, which was equivalent to getting on a pirate ship.
"Cui Jae-shan has retreated to Xijing, defended with 100,000 people, and called for 200,000 rebels to support Xijing..."
"Chu Zimou of Xuzhou occupied Yuzhou, intending to attack Jizhou."
The Yanqi Guild brought the information Mingguan wanted to know.
"Chu Zimou is about to covet Hebei. If I don't pacify the Koryo Kingdom as soon as possible, I will be in a passive position. I will spread the word to appease the towns. If there is any disobedience, I will kill without mercy."
"The main force of the legion, follow me south!"
At Mingguan, only 50,000 defenders were left to suppress Uiju City, and more than 100,000 main force drove the Goryeo troops to the south.
Mingguan's strategy is also very simple. There will always be someone willing to be his dog in Koryo. As long as a dog leads the way, attacking the remaining cities in Koryo is relatively simple.
The Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Eight Banners, the Xianbei Cavalry, the Wuhuan Cavalry, and the Liaodong Corps, which were dominated by cavalry, continued to march southward, with a mighty force, with no end in sight.
Chutian ordered Xu You to be placed in Xiacheng, ready to take him to attack Hebei. Chen Ji and Chen Qun from Yingchuan came to the lord's mansion to meet with Chu Tian's order.
Chen Ji and Chen Qun, father and son, originally said that they were civil officials under Tang's command. Considering that following Tang had no future, they came to Chutian.
Some members of the family may not be loyal to their lords.
In history, Chen Qun followed Liu Bei and Lü Bu, and then took refuge with Cao Cao. He was not a foolish and loyal person. Chen Qun persuaded Liu Bei to guard against Lu Bu, but Liu Bei did not obey. Perhaps Chen Qun was disappointed with Liu Bei for a while, so he did not follow Liu Bei.
It is understandable to rely on powerful princes in troubled times.
Chen Ji and Chen Qun are both scholars.
Chutian had some precautions against the Yingchuan family. This is Cao Wei's helpless compromise to the aristocratic family.
But Chutian is different. He strictly controls each legion. The main generals are from other dynasties. He has not yet formed an aristocratic family, so he does not give much face to the local family.
Chen Ji and Chen Qun couldn't deal with Chutian in the way they used to, otherwise they wouldn't know how to die.
Chu Tian casually glanced at the panels of the two people, focusing mainly on Chen Qun.
Chen Ji is old and far less accomplished than his son.

…
Chen Qun went through the three dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, and his qualifications were older than Sima Yi. He advocated the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which influenced the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. .
Chen Qun's characteristic bonuses are also quite large. However, the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" is a system that has both advantages and disadvantages. After Chutian's forces implemented their own imperial examination system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system would not play a big role.
The nine-rank Zhongzheng system is a system that sacrifices the interests of the poor and the common people and safeguards the interests of the aristocratic family. It is also a compromise by Cao Wei to the aristocratic family. However, there are a large number of players in Chutian's territory.
It is impossible for the player group to agree to Chutian's implementation of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, forming a class solidification.
Players, civilians, poor families, noble families, soldiers, the interests of these groups must be considered.
Secondly, the nine-grade Zhongzheng system has a certain era background. After Cai Lun improved the papermaking technique, the price of paper was still very expensive, so there is an allusion about the expensive paper in Luoyang. Aristocratic families monopolize almost all knowledge, so the probability of talents being born is higher, and they have the ability to govern the country.
It was not until the printing technology advanced and the dissemination of knowledge was relatively cheap that the imperial examination system replaced the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. In the Song Dynasty, when printing reached its peak, the literati had a higher status.
In "The Territory", there are already economic buildings such as paper mills, and a large number of players are pouring in, and the family cannot monopolize knowledge.
There is no greater significance to implement the nine-grade Zhongzheng system.
Of course, Chen Qun has a political score of 97. As the Minister of the Interior, it is more than enough to handle the usual internal affairs.
"You go to Xuchang and still handle the internal affairs of Yuzhou."
Chutian considered that Li Kui, the prefect of Qingzhou, was a capable minister of internal affairs, that Yanzhou had Cheng Yu and Du Ruhui, Xuzhou had two Zhang (Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong), and Yuzhou lacked ministers, so he sent Chen Ji and Chen Qun to Yuzhou.
Chen Qun is a smart person who is very sensitive to standing in line. Said Tang's power has declined and there is only one Nanyang County left, and Chen Qun will never choose to return to Saitang's side anyway...
"Do your best."
Chen Ji and Chen Qun did not expect that Chu Tian would summon their group to come, but they simply asked about the situation in Yuzhou, and then let them go back to Yingchuan, where they were familiar with Yuzhou.
Chu Tian squinted his eyes and watched Chen Ji and Chen Qun leave.
Within his sphere of influence, the Xuzhou family, the Yingchuan family, the Yanzhou family, the Nanyang family, and scholars from all over the country served.
But Chu Tian is not too worried. The imperial examination system has absorbed a group of players, poor families, commoners, and talents from other dynasties. All forces compete to check and balance. He does not need to compromise with the local aristocratic family like Cao Pi.
"Can Feng Yi bring it?"
In addition to summoning Chen Ji and Chen Qun who surrendered, Chu Tian also summoned Feng Yi.
The tree general Feng Yi is very reliable, and the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was once unable to capture the city he was defending. If they can be recruited, Chutian has a stable army commander at the level of Zhou Yafu.
The bigger the territory, the more legion commanders Chutian needs.
After a while, Feng Yi was brought by Dian Wei. With Dian Wei by his side, it was impossible for Feng Yi to kill Chu Tian with his bare hands.
Feng Yi was a prisoner, but his expression was quite calm.
"Today the world is in great turmoil, and the people and the people are struggling to survive. The soldiers pointed out by the frontiers have ruined their lives. If we want to end the troubled times, we can only use force to stop the war. If there are generals to help, great things can be accomplished, and this is the blessing of all people."
Chu Tian is moved by emotion and understood by reason.
Feng Yi was a little shaken.
Chutian has the "Han Wu" characteristic, which is extra attractive to the civil servants and generals of the Han Dynasty.
As a military general in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Feng Yi was inevitably affected.
Chu Tian continued to brainwash Feng Yi: "I raised troops from Langya, suppressed the Yellow Turbans, attacked Dong Zhuo, and swept across the Central Plains. Is what I did for my own enjoyment? I am doing this for the people of the world. The general helped me to bring peace to the world. , guarding the Quartet, for the country and the people, it is a good thing. Please think twice about the general..."
Chu Tian continued brainwashing Feng Yi who remained silent, and it took a few hours for Feng Yi to be taken away.
Feng Yi is a little confused now, Chu Tian has mastered the basic brainwashing ability.
Unless he is a die-hard man, Chutian will probably persuade him.
If it can't be done in one day, then I will invite Feng Yi every day to discuss with him how to help the Han family.
Chu Tian thinks that Feng Yi will surrender soon. After all, Feng Yi is brainwashed by Chu Tian every day...
Chutian has enough patience to deal with special talents.
After the capture of Yuzhou, Chutian presented to the imperial court all the meritorious officials, asking them to be promoted to generals such as miscellaneous generals, side generals, Zhonglang generals, and school captains.
…
Cao Cao's mansion in Xiacheng, Xu You came to visit with two pots of sake, and talked with Cao Cao over the wine.
"The next step, Yanzhou Mu will definitely take Hebei, and the next step may be Guanzhong."
Cao Cao has a clear view of the situation.
Xu You shook his head: "Not necessarily. When I was in Jizhou, I heard that cavalry from Mobei entered Monan. At that time, the Central Plains may face an unprecedented crisis."
Cao Cao's eyes gradually became sharp: "Mobei cavalry dare to enter the Central Plains, they will be wiped out!"
"You are the only one who has such courage. If Yuan Benchu was here, it would be lively."
Xu You and Cao Cao were both Chutian's subordinates, and Xu You no longer cared about the difference in official positions.
Yuan Shao has lost his status as a prince, so Xu You thinks that Yuan Shao and them can still be friends, and the big deal is that they will be officials of the same dynasty in the future...
The identity of Yuan Shao IV's third prince is there, and not many princes dare to actually kill Yuan Shao.
Xu You mentioned one more thing: "In Xiacheng, it is really mixed. I wandered in the city, not only many people, but also various families, merchants, and powerful people. I also saw people recruiting disciples. , cultivators, hundreds of applicants."
When Cao Cao heard Xu You mentioned that someone was raising chivalrous men in Xiacheng, he frowned and realized that something was wrong.
In troubled times, it is not uncommon for many tyrants to gather the people to protect themselves and set up manors, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands. Some aristocratic families and merchants also have the habit of recruiting disciples.
For example, the Donghai Mi family has tens of thousands of servants, and if they are armed, they are tens of thousands of villagers.
Chutian has consciously started to crack down on this kind of behavior.
When the tyrants gather villagers, the population will be hidden, and the income will be owned by the tyrants. The lord's palace cannot collect taxes. Moreover, the existence of Menke would threaten Chutian's rule over the four states.
The most effective way to deal with this behavior is to conduct population statistics and bring the entire population under domination. Every time the population is counted, a county can have at least tens of thousands more people.
In addition to registering the population every year, Chutian dispatched troops to disperse each manor and place villagers in various villages and towns, weakening the influence of local tyrants on the civilian population and placing the civilian population under the direct rule of the government. The local tyrants dared to resist, and the Four Tigers of the Northern Army led the army to raze the local tyrannical Wubao.
Now the four states no longer need tyrants to protect civilians, the government will provide protection for civilians and allocate wasteland.
Not only that, Chutian strictly restricts the practice of various aristocratic families or merchants to support their patrons, so it has issued a "restriction of patrons", but anyone who hires patrons must register with the government, and the number cannot exceed a certain amount.
Someone dares to raise chivalrous men in Xiacheng, which is simply provoking Chutian's authority.
Cao Cao asked: "I don't know who is recruiting knights in Xiacheng?"
Xu You wondered: "It should be a young master in the east of the city. Didn't the Yanzhou shepherd give him the opening of the mansion or some privileges?"
Cao Cao shook his head: "I have never heard of it."
Cao Cao's eyes were a little surprised.
Chutian doesn't seem like a monarch who would announce a "restriction order" on the surface, and then secretly grant privileges to certain people.
Chutian can rise up without committing such a big taboo. Unless Cao Cao sees the wrong person.
"Let's go to the east of the city to meet this person for a while."
Cao Cao took advantage of the wine and planned to go with Xu You to see who dared to recruit doormen with great fanfare during the implementation of the "restriction of doormen" in Chutian.
In the east of the city, there is indeed a large family recruiting strange talents, and a notice is posted in front of the mansion.
"Anyone with a skill can be a doorman."
When Cao Cao saw the notice, he glanced at Xu You and became more curious about the identity of the master~IndoMTL.com~ Eight big men with bare hands stood around the gate and stopped Cao Cao and Xu You.
They glanced at the short stature Cao Cao and the powerless Xu You, and stopped them: "You two don't look like good people. Don't you have any skills? If it's just ordinary skills, then Not worthy of a skill, leave quickly."
Cao Cao, a partial general and army commander, was despised by the gatekeeper, and he couldn't help being annoyed: "To command thousands of troops and pacify the Central Plains, is he considered a skill?"
Xu You was also indignant: "Is it a skill to plan a strategy and win a thousand miles away?"
Two people rarely wear a pair of pants.
No matter what, it is a shame to be underestimated by the other party like this.
"Go, go, don't talk nonsense here. What kind of identity is our son, unless you can compete with ten thousand people, or have some skills of robbery and robbery, can you be in the eyes of our son."
The gatekeeper thought that Cao Cao and Xu You were just here to make trouble, and planned to drive Cao Cao and Xu You away.
If it wasn't for Xiacheng's implementation of the "Knife Hunting Order", which confiscated the weapons of everyone except the army and civil servants (who could only wear swords), these big men would directly drive out Cao Cao with swords.
Cao Cao became more and more curious about the origin of the owner here. He rolled his eyes a few times and said to Xu You: "We must find a way to enter this courtyard, or we must try to lead the owner out."
Xu You asked: "The plan will be released?"
Cao Cao is ruthless: "Set fire."
"Cough cough... The two of you will report your names directly, and these servants will bring them in."
A voice came from behind Cao Cao and Xu You.
