Chapter 199 Controlling Nanyang Liu Han didn't pay attention to this battle at all.

Zhao Ci's men were not even as good as the Yellow Turbans in combat effectiveness. The two sides had a great battle. Zhang He beheaded Zhao Ci and the army beheaded more than [-] people.

Different from Yang Xu's entry into Nanyang, when Yang Xu approached the border of Nanyang County, he changed into casual clothes and secretly entered Nanyang County. He took only one person with him and went to various counties to inquire about the local situation before taking up his post in Nanyang County.

Yangxu knew very well whether the county magistrates in various places were corrupt or honest, etc. His subordinates were all surprised and shocked.

When Liu Han entered Nanyang, his cavalry crossed the border, traveling hundreds of miles a day, and attacked Wancheng by surprise, without giving certain families in Nanyang County a chance to report the news.

Cavalry combat.

In terms of personal bravery, Liu Han's cavalry may not be a match for the Liangzhou cavalry, but who can challenge you in a one-on-one fight if you can fight in a group? The cavalry conducts large-scale command operations, small groups cooperate, large groups weave around, divide and encroach, or collide head-on. Who can be the opponent of the Bingzhou Army? It was also the first time that Lu Zhi saw the fighting method unique to Liu Han's army.

The Yulin Guards are like a swift and violent storm, shuttling through the battle formation with its unparalleled speed and maneuverability.

The roar of the iron cavalry echoed over the wilderness like thunder, which was with spears and wearing heavy armor, they rushed toward the enemy with thunderous force.

Every charge was like a fierce blow, as fast as lightning, swooping towards the enemy like a falcon, and the spear in his hand was like a sharp sword, piercing the enemies one by one.

Under their impact, the enemy's formation instantly became chaotic and unable to withstand this powerful force.

With its unparalleled speed, maneuverability and power, the combat is like flowing water, bringing great pressure and fear to the enemy, which is awe-inspiring.

Three thousand feather forest guards attacked the 2 rebels. The rebels were beaten as much as the clay figures. In just half an hour, the 2 rebels were defeated. The Northern Army and Jingzhou soldiers led by him were only responsible for Arrest people and clean up the battlefield after the war.

"No wonder, no wonder they are so wary of Zhong Qing."

As a general, Lu Zhi certainly saw the terrifying combat effectiveness of Liu Han's army, and at this moment he also understood the fear and fear that the nobles had towards him.

This is only 3000 people, and Liu Han has at least [-] troops in his hands.

The combat effectiveness of 10 or 3000 people is simply incomparable to that of 10 people!

"So, Dong Zhuo is the puppet they elected to challenge Zhong Qing."

Lu Zhi suddenly saw the situation in Luoyang clearly.

Now he is very happy that both he and Fan Yanglu made the right choice.

As long as this man has a hundred thousand cavalry in his hands, no matter who is the next emperor, he will nod. Unless all the powerful nobles in the world unite, no one can defeat him.

But that's simply not possible.

The gentry is a combination of interests, and the interests can never be consistent, so the gentry can never come together and become monolithic.

Then, there was another major purge of Nanyang Ci was defeated, and none of the powerful nobles who colluded with him could escape.

Counterinsurgency, evidence collection, questioning, arresting people, convicting, and beheading, all in one go.

"Master Lu, Nanyang County will become a place of great strategic value in the next three to five years, and the Zong members are in Nanyang."

"Oh? I had forgotten about Zhong Qing, so I just happened to find him."

(Zong Yuan was a general who protected Wuhuan Zhonglang during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In 184 AD, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sent Lu Zhi to attack Zhang Jiao and appointed Zong Yuan as Lu Zhi's deputy general.

The members of the clan came from the Anzhong clan of the Nanyang family, such as: Zongbo, the commander of Wugan Zhonglang, Zongjun, the prefect of Hanoi (Zongbo's son), Zongjing, the prefect of Liaodong (brother of Zongjun's clan), Zongyi, the school captain of Sili (son of Zongjing), Sikong of the Han Dynasty Zong Ju (grandson of Zong Yi, his descendants Zong Yu and Zong Wei all followed Liu Bei to Shu.), Runan prefect Zong Zi (grandson of Zong Jun), Zong Zi's son Zong Cheng, and Zong Cyan and Zong Cheng who were engaged in calendar research. ) There are many noble clans in Nanyang, and they are intertwined. A single move can affect the whole body. At present, Liu Han does not dare to attack them casually.

In the early years of the establishment of the Later Han Dynasty, Nanyang people had an absolute advantage. Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, 13 were from Nanyang. The three founding princes of Guangwu: Deng Yu was the Great Situ, Li Tong was Sikong, and Wu Han was the Great Sima, all of whom were from Nanyang. Guangwu unified the country, he decided to retire the meritorious officials and recruit civil servants. The military meritorious groups all returned home at the invitation of the court and no longer participated in the government affairs. There were only three exceptions: Deng Yu, Li Tong, and Jia Fu, all from Nanyang.

Most of the wealthy families in Nanyang belonged to the military meritorious groups of the Later Han Dynasty. They enjoyed titles, land and houses. They could enter official positions directly through appointment, selection, etc., or through inspection, recruitment, them, the system of appointing children is the most direct. It does not require proficiency in classics. As long as the children of officials are worth more than [-] shi, they can be appointed officials through their family background, and they will spend money to become alternate officials.

(Deng's family has favored nobles for many generations since the Zhongxing Dynasty. There are 29 nobles, two dukes, 13 generals and below, 14 people with two thousand stones, 22 schools, 48 ​​state shepherds and county guards, and the rest are servants. , generals, doctors, ministers, and visitors are countless, none can compare with Tokyo.) But what is strange is that none of the Nanyang wealthy families successfully transformed the scholar family into the aristocratic family in the late Han were 52 officials from Nanyang in the three dynasties of Guangwu, Ming and Zhang, 38 from Emperor He to Emperor Shun, and 12 after Emperor can be seen that after Emperor Huan, the Nanyang scholars quickly withdrew from the political center, which eventually led to their loss of power in the late Han Dynasty.

The Yin clan of Nanyang was eliminated by Emperor He because Queen Yin used the curse technique to curse Deng Sui;

The Nanyang Deng family was almost uprooted by Emperor An after the death of Empress Dowager Deng Sui. A few ethnic groups survived by relying on the general Liang Ji. During the reign of Emperor Huan, Deng Meng's daughter, who was raised by the Liang family, became the queen, but she was deposed from the position of queen because of competition for favor. Deng The family then withdrew from the political center.

However, the strange thing is that after the first disaster of party imprisonment, it was the Ruying scholars who gained great fame in the world, while the existence of the Nanyang scholars almost disappeared.

By the time of the Three Kingdoms, the choices of this group of Nanyang scholars were actually very unique: as the imperial hometown of the Later Han Dynasty, almost all of them chose Liu Zhi, a descendant of Deng Yu, and Lai Min, a descendant of Lai She, escaped the war in the late Han Dynasty and went to Sichuan to serve in Jihan; Zong Yu followed Zhang Fei to Shu and must have taken refuge with Liu Bei long ago; Fan did not know when he entered Shu, but Fan It was built in Ji Hanguan to Shangshu Ling.

The gentry in Nanyang, due to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, can be said to be the most powerful gentry in the state, but Liu Han could not cut through the mess as quickly as he could with the gentry in You and Bing.

After becoming a hero, if you don't find a reason that no one can object to and kill them, your subordinates will be disappointed.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks.

Although Liu Han had given Zhang Mancheng four months to work in Nanyang during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he failed to give him the opportunity.

"This is the third cleanup, why are there still so many?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Liu Han's mind, "Yuan Shu..."

The prototype of a plan slowly emerged.
