Chapter 416 The first compromise between the aristocratic families and the people
Chapter 415: The first compromise between the aristocratic families and the people
Only by taking Yique Pass can the Yellow Turban continue to go south to attack Guangcheng Pass. Of course, Xiang Yu can also choose to attack Xuanyuan Pass east, but Qin Hao''s main force is Guangcheng Pass, so even if he doesn''t have to make a lot of money on Xuanyuan Pass.
Once Yique Pass was lost, the three directions of Xuanyuan Pass were all in the Yellow Turban sphere of influence, and the food and grass in Guangcheng Pass were definitely not transported, so even if you wanted to resist, it would not last for a few months.
"Lord, there must be only a few rebels in Yique Pass. The last three thousand cavalry will definitely be able to retake Yique Pass." Xiong Kuohai asked with confidence.
"Since that''s the case, I''ll let you lead three thousand cavalry to rescue you. If Yique Pass is lost, you will return immediately." Qin Hao ordered.
"No." Xiong Kuohai responded, and then left with great strides.
Half a day later, Xiong Kuohai finally returned in vain.
"Before the last general arrived, the Yellow Turban Army had already entered the city, so he had to kill the pursuers and protect the remnants of the army." Xiong Kuohai reported.
Qin Hao signaled Xiong Kuohai to rise, and then said to the kneeling Shan Xiongxin: "Shan Xiongxin, I will ask you, why are the tens of thousands of defenders in Yique Pass lost so quickly?"
After Qin Hao left Yique Pass, he appointed Shan Xiongxin as the governor of Yique Pass. Even if Yique Pass was lost due to internal rebellion, Shan Xiongxin, as the governor, was responsible.
"Report to the lord, since the Yellow Turbans implemented the land distribution policy, the morale of the army within the pass has been turbulent. The generals have strictly guarded, but who knew that the spies of the Yellow Turbans took advantage of the loopholes... The generals are willing to take full responsibility." Shan Xiongxin, who knelt on one knee, said with regret.
"The Land System of Heaven" is simply a nuclear bomb to the Han Dynasty. Nowadays, not only the people in the world are interested in the Yellow Turban, but many soldiers in the Han army are interested in the Yellow Turban.
After all, the soldiers of the Han army were also ordinary people, but the Yellow Turbans, as rebels, gave them to them, which even the Han army could not give, so the Han soldiers would inevitably change.
This situation continued to spread like a virus, not only in the army that oppressed Qin Hao, but also in Qin Wen''s army, but they were all cleverly appeased by the two using various means.
But this is also a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. It was not until the Chang''an court promulgated the "Big Han Field System" that the situation finally began to turn around.
The publication of the "Dahan Land and Miles System" was the result of discussions from multiple parties and the first compromise between the aristocratic families and the people.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion is actually a war between the people and the aristocratic families. Such wars have also happened before, but they were all violently suppressed by the aristocratic families.
But this time, the arrival was too fierce, forcing the aristocratic families to sacrifice their interests to make compromises in order to calm the anger of the people.
"The Great Han Field System" is actually the castrated version of "The Heaven Field System", but even the castrated version is already very rare and precious, and it also won a valuable opportunity for the Han Dynasty to breathe.
Of course, it can only be a breather. If the people around the world are all alienated from the Han Dynasty today, even if the Han Dynasty defeats the Yellow Turban, it will only be a matter of time before the destruction is achieved.
Qin Hao naturally knew why Yiqueguan was lost. In order to play this good show, he pretended to be furious and wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin. Then whenever a general pleaded for mercy, he would release Shan Xiongxin and continue the following plan.
Those who know Qin Hao''s plan are currently only Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling, and the others are kept in the dark, because this way the play is true enough and can be hidden from Zhang Liang.
Afterwards, Qin Hao came to Shan Xiongxin''s room. Shan Xiongxin hurriedly got out of bed to greet him when he saw Qin Hao coming, but the injury he had just been slaughtered by the stick had not healed, and he almost fell down.
Qin Hao held Shan Xiongxin with a hand and said, "You don''t need to be polite if you do this."
Qin Hao helped Shan Xiongxin down and said, "General Shan, I feel wronged."
"What''s this little bit of flesh and blood?"
Shan Xiongxin smiled, and then asked with a serious look on his face: "Lord, for such an important task, I am willing to hand over a surrendered general. Are you not afraid of the fake act of the last general?"
"Not afraid." Qin Hao smiled confidently and said, "I believe in the general''s character." Shan Xiongxin was extremely moved when he heard this, and said, "But I am Wang Shichong''s son-in-law..."
Before Shan Xiongxin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qin Hao.
"I have confidence in my own vision, so I am willing to take a gamble with my life. I believe that General Shan, you will never betray me. If you really betray me, it only means that my eyes cannot do anything to see, and I will die in vain if I die."
Shan Xiongxin opened his mouth, with thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn''t say a word. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Shan Xiongxin is swearing to repay the lord''s trust to death."
Qin Hao laughed and said, "Don''t always say that you are not dead. I want you to live and follow me to make achievements together."
“No!”
The king and his minister smiled at each other, and after hesitating for a while, Shan Xiongxin finally asked, "Lord, isn''t the plan this time a little too big? What if..."
"Nothing in case, even my lord, has given his life to participate in it personally. What are you afraid of?"
"But what I am worried about is the safety of my lord."
"Don''t worry, if I don''t have a self-protection strategy, how dare I take risks?"
…
Yique Pass.
There are only three people in the huge conference hall, namely Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang and Ji Bu.
Xiang Yu sat in the main seat. After listening to Ji Bu’s words, he immediately asked excitedly: “Shan Xiongxin said so?”
"Yeah." Ji Bu nodded heavily and continued, "Shan Xiongxin said that with Qin Hao''s personality, he would definitely not kill him this time, and he would seek opportunities to dedicate Guangchengguan to our army."
"With Qin Hao''s personality, it is really unlikely to do something like killing a general before the war." Zhang Liang pondered.
"This is a map of the distribution of the Han army. It was drawn by Shan Xiongxin after seeing it based on his memory."
As he said that, Ji Bu presented the map in his hand to Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu got up, he immediately showed a solemn expression on his face and said, "If it is really distributed in the map, it is really hard to fight this Guangcheng Pass. Did Shan Xiongxin explain how to win Guangcheng Pass for our army?"
"No, he is not sure, he just said to do his best."
Xiang Yu nodded. If Shan Xiongxin said he was completely sure, he would doubt his intentions. After all, how could he be absolutely sure of such a thing?
"Shan Xiongxin said that if there is no way to break the barrier within ten days, we will implement another plan, and this requires our cooperation..."
Xiang Yu widened his eyes, and after hearing this, he burst into laughter and said, "Qin Hao, Qin Hao, this time you are still alive."
Xiang Yu originally suspected whether Shan Xiongxin would have sued for a fraudulent surrender, but now it seems that Shan Xiongxin is really sincere.
Rescue Ji Bu, take down Yique Pass, and...
Shan Xiongxin secretly helped Xiang Yu solve a lot of trouble, so Xiang Yu naturally dispelled his doubts.
