When Guo Peng sent the spies to Liangzhou to pass the news back, Guo Peng was very angry.

I have worked hard for eighteen years to become a person, and for another two years to become Duke Wei and the monarch of a principality. You are better off. From the beginning, I will be called king and king!

Is there any such reason in the world?

If you destroy you, you must destroy you.

And the reason is very good.

You are too brave, really too brave. Guo Peng was stunned for a long time when he first learned about this. He didn't know where this guy got the confidence, but he actually dared to be the king.

However, after understanding it specifically, Guo Peng also understood.

He was the only one of the forces in the area of ​​Shihan County where he was separatist. He won over the Han tyrants and Qiang tribes near Shihan County, and organized about 30,000 soldiers and horses. Relying on the easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack terrain around Shihan County, he closed the door and became king.

Some other forces were unable to protect themselves, while others felt that it was really difficult to fight in Kuanghan County. So, starting from the year of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had been free and easy as king for fifteen years.

The surrounding mountains are surrounded by mountains. The entire situation is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only one road. As long as this road is blocked, it will be basically difficult to break in.

The 30,000 soldiers he had were Han people, Qiang people, and other mixed Hus. They were also considered to be some combat power, and their combat power was not weak, so he was free and comfortable for a long time.

Despite this, Guo Peng did not intend to let him continue to be free, and this guy must be destroyed.

So Cao Ren led his troops there, and before he made clear the surrounding geographical environment and Song Jian's military garrison and so on. He also spent money to bribe the informant and learned about some situations within Kuanghan County, such as military equipment.

Cao Ren and Chen Gong planned to go straight to the scene without any tricks, and they set up defenses, so Cao Ren used a catapult to destroy it, and head-on to see who is stronger.

It would be too much to look down on the combat effectiveness of the Wei army when dealing with a small grass-headed king.

If you take this Song Jian, Longxi County will have no opponent worth paying attention to. The remaining Qiang, Hu soldiers and Han tyrants will not be taken seriously by Cao Ren and Chen Gong.

Guo Peng's order was to kill all the local tyrants who had participated in the rebellion, including the Ma family and the Han family.

One of these people is counted as one, all of them betrayed the Han Empire. As a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, Mr. Guo wanted to avenge the unfortunately dead emperor, so that these powerful men who participated in the rebellion could pay the price.

Cao Ren and Chen Gong deeply understood Guo Peng's loyalty, so they adhered to the concept of killing them all, rushed to the north, and wanted to give them some color.

More than ten years of freedom and chaos have passed, and now the strong are coming back!

While Cao Ren advanced, Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan won great victories, basically winning steadily. Each county and county had no power to stop the Wei army, and the county town was quickly taken down.

Many powerful manors around the county town were damaged, and some were intact. Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan followed the order to destroy them, rob them, kill the owner of the manor, and captured and took away all the people in the manor, thinking that they would be used for military farming in the future.

The actions of other states and counties to eliminate the powerful forces require some of them, and some of them cannot be easily moved.

But Liangzhou is different.

There are thieves everywhere, and they have gone their own way. Basically, one of them can be labeled as a thief, and Mr. Guo is also best at putting in the wrong hands. At this time, a thief's big hat is to raid the house and destroy the clan, and there is nothing to say about it.

These powerful people living in the Shura field should also be killed, otherwise they will be kept with them and they will not know what trouble will happen in the future.

Liangzhou was in chaos for too long and too violent. Without using force, it would not be able to establish the authority of a new central government. The authority of the central government would be strong or not, which would determine whether the Guo and Wei regime could establish a stable rule in Liangzhou.

What Mr. Guo needs is a military farmer who is good at farming, a tool man, not a group of unstable molecules who can not only be self-sufficient in food, but can even make weapons and even armor by themselves.

Since the announcement of the official operation of salt and iron, Mr. Guo no longer allows private iron smelting, and only official direct store iron smelting.

Ordinary people need kitchen knives and farm tools at home, so they have to go to the official direct store to buy it. No other place is allowed to buy it, and there will be records of who will buy it.

Strictly restrict civil force to reduce the rampant trend of heroism that has been popular among the people since the Western Han Dynasty, reduce the number of private stalemate fights among the people and the harm it brings, and reduce public security pressure.

At the same time, we should be wary of someone rebelling, and we should be wary of someone taking advantage of Guo's army to make a fire in the backyard to threaten the rule of the Guo Wei regime.

In this regard, Mr. Guo perfectly inherited the family's legal tradition. Although he did not learn from Qin Shihuang to cast the twelve golden men, he would not be much worse.

This is true for all states and counties in the mainland, and even more so for Liangzhou.

Even those reserved manors are no longer allowed to smelter iron. Local officials will lead people to search the iron smelter equipment in their homes one by one, and then sell them all to the government at the market price.

In order to better implement this policy, Mr. Guo also asked his important officials to take the lead.

If you have a manor at home, you hand over the iron smelting equipment and blacksmith in your manor. Guo Peng didn't rob it and gave it some money and bought it.

The Li Dian family performed the best, took the lead in complying, handed over 136 blacksmith households, handed over iron smelting equipment and more than 1,500 kilograms of iron refined, and Guo Peng commended them.

With the Li Dian family taking the lead, other major manors also cooperated and handed over the blacksmiths and iron-smithing equipment, not daring to disobey Guo Peng's orders.

Guo Peng issued an order. If he did not submit it, he would be regarded as resisting the court and dealt with it together.

Now every household in Liangzhou has iron smelting equipment and blacksmiths. They make irons themselves, build weapons and armor, and produce food. They usually have private armed groups, and they are all small armed groups.

If there is any change in Liangzhou, someone will raise his arms and shout, and the powerful man will be able to pull up an army in minutes to start conquering the city.

If you have a thousand days of thieves, but if you don’t have a thousand days of thieves, Guo doesn’t have that much energy to guard against them. The best way is to have a one-size-fits-all approach and destroy their martial arts.

So how could Guo, a powerful Liangzhou man, allow them to exist?

Wherever the army went, all the Han Hu Haoqiang Manors in Liangzhou were razed, and those who took the initiative to surrender were given preferential treatment, while the Yi tribe who resisted stubbornly burned the manor.

The powerful forces in Anding Longxi and other counties in Hanyang were defeated by the Wei army with a rapid blow, and were almost wiped out and uprooted. Wherever the Wei army went, no powerful family could escape unscathed, and they were all labeled as a rebel to settle the score.

Unlike other prefectures and counties, Guo Peng no longer needs the cooperation of Liangzhou people to rule Liangzhou.

After more than ten years of development, he has had enough officials and ruling experience, and has enough ruling ability. He can send enough people to destroy all the original political and economic ecology of Liangzhou, rebuild his political and economic ecology on the ruins, and establish the rule of the Guo and Wei regime in Liangzhou.

He no longer needs the cooperation of Liangzhou people.

So the battle was extremely fierce.

This is the case in Liangzhou now, and the same is true in Liaodong in the future.

These border areas lack the existence of gentry and public opinion pressure, and have committed rebellion. Guo has a clear reason. Such a good opportunity and such a good opportunity to destroy the powerful and seize the population, Guo will not let it go.

Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan marched smoothly, and Cao Ren also successfully approached Fenghan County. According to the report from the spy, Song Jian had already investigated Cao Ren's army to attack and was preparing to resist urgently. He asked Cao Ren to be careful and not to capsize in the gutter.

Cao Ren sneered repeatedly and led the army to advance directly, and encountered resistance from Song Jian's army halfway.

The leader of this army is Song Jian's eldest son Song Wei. Song Wei brought 20,000 troops to fight Cao Ren, probably because he wanted to defeat Cao Ren at his doorstep and show his might, so that Cao Ren realizes that he is not easy to mess with.

This is Song Jian’s usual method of maintaining separatism for more than ten years.

But this time, they hit the iron plate.
