At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 487

Before being a county magistrate, I personally experienced the difficulties of being a county magistrate. I personally experienced how difficult it is to communicate with the chiefs and farmers at the grassroots level, and how difficult it is to implement government orders. Guo Jin lost a lot of ideas about flexing his muscles.

To be honest, when Guo Peng asked him to be the county magistrate, he was ambitious to show Guo Peng a big career.

He has to rely on his political achievements to be promoted and prove that his ability is enough to become Guo Peng's heir.

As a result, he went to the countryside to promote the decree. After he felt how difficult it was to implement the decree from the imperial court to the land, he was convinced that his thoughts were naive.

He held a meeting with the township chiefs, and let the township chiefs understand what to do by talking out loud. He thought that the matter would be over here, but when the township chiefs promoted it to the level of village chiefs, many problems occurred and he needed to personally to explain.

In desperation, he sent out Lu Yu, Cao Zhen, Lu Yi and other small partners, and acted separately. One person was in charge of a group of village chiefs, and he personally went down to the grassroots to catch them and supervise them personally.

It was not easy for the village chiefs to understand what to do, but when it was extended to farmers' homes and land, it was another hurdle when it was actually implemented, and he took his friends around again.

Guo Jin finally understood how complicated it is to spread a decree from the central government layer by layer and implement it on the land.

There are so many troubles in a single county, and so many problems in promoting government orders, let alone a county, a state, and a country?

How on earth did those big guys have the energy to deal with so many problems?

How much suffering did my father suffer before he became the emperor?

After a wild ride, Guo Jin and the friends around her finally calmed down, knowing how much they weighed, so they followed the steps in a down-to-earth manner and abandoned the idea of ​​leaping.

After a while of experience, Guo Jin felt that she and her friends had grown up a bit.

In particular, Lu Yu and Lu Yi were clearly ahead of everyone in handling government disputes, and had relatively strong overall planning skills. Guo Jin considered them to be his right-hand men in governing in the future.

Among the others, Xia Houheng and Cao Tai's abilities are mediocre, and they don't see any shining points. They are a bit far behind their father who can command thousands of troops, but the victory is that they are down-to-earth, willing to obey orders, and they are not fancy , can do practical things.

Cao Zhen and Xia Houshang are more inclined to the military. In matters related to the use of force to quell disputes in the county government, both of them can run at the forefront and are obviously good at commanding troops.

Guo Jin suddenly felt that the group of people around her were not simple people. It seemed that when her father chose a schoolmate for her back then, she didn't just pat her head and choose randomly.

With the help of these little friends, after Guo Jin endured some hardships and stayed up all night for a few nights, she was gradually able to get started with the county's government affairs and gained some experience in handling them.

Therefore, he has a deeper understanding of what Guo Peng said that "people cannot empathize with others".

So he began to hold the view that if he didn't know anything, he would have no right to speak about things he hadn't been in contact with. He felt that he had to experience it himself before he could have a correct understanding.

Guo Jin has already experienced the hard-won Wei Jun's strength.

He has personally seen the daily training of the soldiers of the Wei Army, and has also quietly joined and experienced the daily training of the Wei Army under his name. He knows how much Guo Peng has invested in this.

However, Guo Jin has never experienced how to personally lead troops to fight and personally assume the responsibility of an army.

Guo Peng has also said more than once the importance of the army to the monarch, and Guo Jin wants to experience it no matter what.

Then Guo Jin really experienced what war is and what cruelty is.

This is a large manor with a large area, and the owner is a local tyrant.

There is a wooden fence similar to a military camp around the manor. It is quite high and very tight. It looks like it has a certain degree of military defense.

It was probably because they felt uneasy after Pingguo County was breached, so the manor entered a state of defense, with a chilling atmosphere, and it felt quite combative.

There are repelling horses and traps at the gate, and there are high platforms and arrow towers behind the gate. If you look inside, you can see a black crowd of strong men with weapons on guard.

Guo Jin is not very familiar with it yet, but Guan Ping has seen it before, and so has Lu Yi.

This is the enhanced version of the manor economy since the Eastern Han Dynasty that was strengthened by the war before Guo Peng swept the world.

Actively surround their own land and isolate it from the outside world to achieve such an effect of self-defense. The manor owner is the biggest leader, and the strong men in the manor have the obligation to fight for the manor owner.

Not only can they be self-sufficient in production, but they can also build one military unit after another. A manor is a fortress, just like a private kingdom.

Chapter 877 880 Seven Sweeping the Manor

Such a private kingdom no longer exists within the territory of Wei State.

Thanks to Guo Peng's efforts, at least the manor has been disarmed. No individual or organization is allowed within the territory of the Guo Wei Empire to have more than 50 armed forces without the government's permission.

Even high-level generals are not allowed to mobilize more than 50 of their own soldiers under non-official circumstances.

If you dare, you can try.

But in Liaodong, the tyrants who surrendered to Gongsundu still maintained this posture. They were Gongsundu's own people.

It was the first time Guo Jin saw such a manor.

He had never seen such a manor fully armed to resist the army before, because before he saw it, Guo Peng had already wiped out such an enhanced private small kingdom.

This was the first time he saw such a self-protected manor, and he thought it was quite novel.

Guan Ping sent people forward and asked them to open the gate, hand over their weapons, and surrender to the Wei army. From then on, they will exist as obedient citizens of the Wei state, pay taxes, and hand over all weapons and iron-smelting equipment.

Otherwise, troops will be dispatched to level this place.

The other party probably felt that this was a fantasy, so he explicitly rejected it and asked the officers and soldiers to leave, otherwise they would shoot arrows.

As he said that, he really bent his bow and set up an arrow, and someone took out a crossbow, aimed at Wei Jun, and entered the battle state.

Hey!

Really shameless, courting death!

Guan Ping was furious, and just about to order the whole army to attack, he suddenly realized that Guo Jin was by his side, and that he was the boss, so he immediately approached Guo Jin.

"Bo Yao, look at this, do you want to order an attack?"

Guo Jin looked at Guan Ping and suddenly felt a strange feeling.

"Me? Order?"

"Yes, you are the crown prince. Of course you give the order. I will obey your order. As long as you give the order, I promise to shoot it down for you!"

Guan Ping patted his chest with a confident face.

"how to spell?"

Guo Jin was a little curious.

"First of all, we must prepare for war."

Guan Ping pulled out his saber and shouted loudly: "Beat the drums! Array! The whole army is ready for battle!!"

Guan Ping gave an order, and the Wei Army's battle drums rumbled. Amid the sound of the war drums, the soldiers of the Wei Army quickly formed formations and quickly prepared for an offensive posture.

"kill!"

Majestic.

Guo Jin was a little excited.

Shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen formed a complete army formation, completely attacking, and Guo Jin could even feel the powerful strength and strong murderous aura contained in this army.

Compared with it, it feels like the seemingly perfect defense of the manor in front of him has become like paper.

When Guo Jin looked into the manor again, it was obvious that the black and strong men seemed to be slowly retreating, as if they were frightened.

No matter how powerful and closed a small private kingdom is, it cannot be compared with a truly unified empire.

Even without trebuchets and other long-range strike weapons, Guan Ping had no doubts about such a simple manor, and believed that this army could not take the manor.

"Bo Yao, you can give an order now. As long as you give an order, I will immediately lead troops to attack this manor!"

Guan Ping gave a military salute to Guo Jin.

Then the six little friends who went out with the army also gave a military salute to Guo Jin, saying that they would also go in there and fight for Guo Jin.

Guo Jin felt that his blood was surging and his fighting spirit was overwhelming, so he nodded, looked at the manor that didn't know how to praise, and slowly drew out his sword.

"Go to war!!!"

He shouted loudly, and the war drums rumbled, Guan Ping swung his saber and pointed forward.

"go ahead!!!"

Wei Jun's army began to step forward, and slowly entered the range of the bow and crossbow. Guan Ping issued a second order in due course.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

150 crossbowmen immediately began to release arrows, and a large number of arrows crossed an arc towards the manor. Some hit the wooden boards, some hit the people on the arrow tower, and some fell inside the manor. Know who you hit.

Because the Wei army was majestic and the fighting actions were so fast that when the Wei army started to attack, the strong men in the manor didn't even get an order to fight back.

Then round after round of arrow rain followed, and the archers on the manor's arrow tower were all shot and killed by such rounds of arrow rain. The manor quickly lost its strategic commanding heights and lost the power to fight back. , The arrows were pushed to the gate of the manor by Wei Jun's army without even shooting a few arrows.

"push!!!"

Guan Ping ordered again, and the Wei army's formation immediately began to move.

After destroying the horses and various obstacles and traps, while suppressing the arrow rain, they swarmed up to destroy the obstacles at the gate, knocked down the gate of the manor, and broke into the manor in a neat queue.

Guo Jin watched this scene excitedly, and immediately rode forward. Fifty imperial guards protected Guo Jin, surrounded him and stepped forward to watch the battle.

After Wei Jun broke into the manor, he immediately formed an array and attacked the manor's armed force of about two to 300 people.

This group of people only had simple leather armor, no helmets, and few spears, all of them were ring-headed knives, and the queue was chaotic.

If so, this group of people is considered well-equipped in the armed queue of the manor. It is conceivable that the folk customs in Liaodong are aggressive.

But no matter how fierce the private armed forces are, they can't fight against the country's military power. If they can, then the country will take jujube pills.

This team of well-equipped manor armed forces, under the leadership of a strong leader, encouraged themselves, shouting loudly to defend their homeland, and screaming to fight Wei Jun to the death.

Just like this, a group of people began to meet again. They were majestic and yelling again and again. It seemed that they were good fighters who often fight in groups.

If Guo Peng were here, as soon as he saw this scene, he would immediately think of the time when he was the king of children in Qiao County when he was young.

At that time, I also led Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan and others of the same age to fight with others. I rushed to the front, the most fierce and brave, and led a group of brats to fight with a group of brats opposite.

Then they beat each other to a mess, and there are also cases where the head is broken, but it is relatively rare, and everyone knows that this kind of thing can't be involved at the level of adults, but if it is really red-eyed, it doesn't matter. so many.

For example, Mr. Guo beat many brats to the point of bleeding.

This group of experts in gang fights is as fierce as a tiger and as powerful as a rainbow.

As a result, before they rushed to the front, what was waiting for them was the rain of arrows from Wei Jun.

"Fire arrows!"

Guan Ping let out a roar, and a round of arrows rained down on the well-mannered Wei Jun.

The manor thugs who rushed to the front were shot to death one after another, causing heavy casualties.

Then the spirit is gone.

Those who followed were shocked, and immediately didn't know whether to charge forward, because the leader was already dead.

Wei Jun will not hesitate.

The Wei army group stabbed forward quickly with spears, the army formation was well-organized, and the offensive was quite fierce. However, the manor armed forces only confronted head-on for less than a stick of incense, and then fled in a panic.

In various senses, they were unable to confront Wei Jun's group attack head-on.

"Scatter! Spread the pursuit! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

Guan Ping shouted angrily, and Wei Jun's formation immediately dispersed.

The soldiers quickly divided into ten combat teams, and Guo Jin's little friends also chased after these teams of Wei Jun. Guan Ping himself rushed in with a team of troops, and Guo Jin led fifty soldiers from the imperial army. Slowly hanging behind.

"Our army is so majestic!"

Guo Jin sighed, then looked down at the manor armed men who were dead and bleeding everywhere, frowned and shook her head.

What my father said was right. When marching and fighting, you are gambling with your life on tomorrow, on prosperity and wealth. That's why the disciplined and collectivist Wei army is so valuable.

The reason why Wei Jun was able to sweep all the warlords and become the final victor is absolutely due to his excellent military discipline.

Looking at the Forbidden Army with firm and unshakable eyes beside her, Guo Jin nodded.

"Let's move forward together, we can't lose to them, if we encounter enemies, we will kill them all!"

Guo Jin's face became fierce, and he drew his sword and pointed forward, and fifty soldiers of the imperial army obeyed immediately.

"Yes!"

The first squadron of the Custodian Army began to march.

After a small-scale battle called extermination, the manor was occupied. After a little statistics, there were about 300 armed men in the manor. 130 people were killed by the Wei army under World War I, and the remaining were all captured.

The owner of the manor is surnamed Xiong, a family of more than 30 people, and is a local tycoon.
