Chapter 505 Surrender
Chapter 505: Rejected
At dusk, the sky is dusk, and as the night comes, the twilight becomes heavier and heavier. Rows of geese flew over the sky from the south, making crisp chirping.
The stove in the Han army camp was filled with thick smoke, and the thick smoke drifted across several miles along the light breeze, like a black belt, cutting the sky open.
At this time, the camp gate was wide open, and the Han soldiers on both sides stood with their halberds. Yan Fei, the prefect of Jingzhao County, and important officials in the county walked in the middle of the road, leading directly to the emperor's central army camp.
The leader Yan Fei was dressed neatly, holding the county seal of Jingzhao County in his hands. The chief minister, Gongcao, chief clerk and others followed the bamboo slips of Jingzhao County population, and followed closely behind Yan Fei.
As the servant shouted, "The country has promulgation, Jingzhao surrenders to the tent!"
Yan Fei and everyone lowered their heads and walked into the tent, knelt on the ground to hold the seal, and said, "Yan Fei, the criminal of Jingzhao, brought the county officials and the Jingzhao County population to His Majesty."
Liu Chan smiled, got up from the couch, personally helped Yan Fei up, comforted him, "Why do you think you are guilty? In my opinion, you have made contributions to the Han Dynasty."
As he said that, Liu Chan took off the county seal held by Yan Fei, tied it to his waist again in his surprised gaze, and said with a smile: "I have heard from Lu Qing that you have been governing Yin for more than ten years and have been rebuilt.
The achievements of Jingzhao Chang'an are needed to continue to govern Jingzhao Yin for me in the future.”
The place where Chang'an was located was always called Jingzhao Yin during the Han Dynasty; and by the time of Cao Wei, Caiyin was changed to county. As the successor, Ji Han changed the county to Yin on official occasions, called Jingzhao Yin.
There is no difference between the salary of the county magistrate and the prefectural governor. The biggest difference is that one is the capital and the other is not the capital. The meaning of Liu Chan's sentence is also very straightforward and clear, giving Yan Fei a higher honor and favor. After all, as the capital county
Keeping the nobleness of his grace and status is different from others.
Yan Fei glanced at the Han emperor who was as good as a dragon and phoenix, and said respectfully: "My minister Yan Fei thanked the country for his kindness. May Your Majesty be happy forever and receive good fortune forever."
Yan Fei also changed the criminal to a minister in a very profound way and called him His Majesty.
Liu Chan walked forward with Yan Fei and ordered, "Set up a seat for Duke Yan here and sit beside me. The other ministers gave him seats and sat in the tent."
"promise!"
"Don't dare!"
Yan Fei sat down in panic, then stood up and took off the bamboo slips with the household registration written on it from his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Please check the warehouses in Jingzhaoyin, the number of mouths, the number of strong men, the number of strong women, the old ones
,The number of weak officials, the number of scholars, the number of taxes, the number of land reclamation, money and grain, the number of prisons, the number of horses and oxes."
Liu Chan nodded slightly, very satisfied with Yan Fei's performance, and said, "You temporarily report the number of registered population, and give the rest of the items to Guan Shizhong, and Lu Shizhong can only take the performance of the performance."
After Liu Chan finished speaking, Guan Xing and Lu Zhi, who were on the left and right, stood up and took the confidential documents recording Jingzhao County from the officials of Jingzhao County.
Lu Zhi, who completed the mission of persuading Chang'an, was directly appointed as the minister of the army and ascended to heaven in one step. This is his right as the supreme ruler.
Yan Fei opened the bamboo slips and found the ranks of recording household registration. He said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, in the 11th year of Jianxing (233 AD), the counties under Jingzhao Yin were Chang'an, Chiyang, Duling and Zheng County.
Lantian…there are 23,258 households and 93,032 households in the city…”
As Yan Fei continued to recite the numbers of Jingzhao County on the bamboo slips, the senior civil and military officials present all looked happy, and Liu Chan, who had always shown peace, kept nodding.
Although Guanzhong experienced the military chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty and had always been a military center, it had a period of peaceful development for more than ten years. At the same time, it moved a large number of people from Hanzhong to enrich the population of Guanzhong. Although the population of Guanzhong is not as good as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of Guanzhong is not as good as that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
During the period, hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people also had the first chance of vitality.
As a wealthy Jingzhao County in Guanzhong, it is still good to have a population of nearly 100,000. With the counties such as Youfufeng, Zuofengyi, Anding, and other counties that will be submissive in the future, the population of Guanzhong should be less than 200,000.
"I have finished reciting it, I wonder if Your Majesty has any doubts?" Yan Fei closed the bamboo slips and said respectfully.
Liu Chan thought a little and said the current issue of the great man: "Don't you know the population of the other counties in Guanzhong?"
Hearing this, Yan Fei closed his eyes and pondered, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, opened his eyes, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, if you deduct slaves and hide your household, I estimate that the population of Guanzhong should be between 210,000 and 240,000.
In between, deducting 93,000 people in Jingzhao County, there should be 120,000 to 150,000."
"Huh!" Liu Chan sighed and said, "There are more than 200,000 people in Guanzhong, which is far from the time when the Han Dynasty was prosperous. However, in the chaotic times, it is not easy to have more than 200,000."
The population of more than 200,000 is too small for Guanzhong. You should know that Guanzhong has forty counties, and the average number is only more than 5,000, which is too small. However, it is much better than Longyou and Liangzhou. After all,
When Longxi County was first settled, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 people in such a large place, which was pitifully small.
Just as Liu Chan was sighing and regretful, Liao Li actively expressed his feelings and said, "Your Majesty, now that Chang'an surrenders, we should pursue Jiang Ji quickly, and we should not allow him to move tens of thousands of people into Tongguan. If he succeeds, he is afraid that there will be no one east of Chang'an.
also!"
"What Liao Shizhong said is reasonable. Wei general Le Chi also led thousands of people to Wuguan Road. He wanted to move to Shangluo. The people of Shangxian County went to Wuguan and entered Jingzhou. If Your Majesty did not pursue him, he might lose tens of thousands of people in Guanzhong. If he did not pursue him, he might lose tens of thousands of people in Guanzhong.
It's human being!" Lu Zhi bowed and added.
After hearing the three words "Shizhong Liao", Yan Fei looked at Liao Li and asked, "I don't know that Shizhong Liao, but Liao Li, is Liao Gongyuan?"
When Liao Li saw someone knowing his name, he smiled on his face and said, "That's right!"
When Yan Fei heard this, he bowed to Liao Li, smiled coldly, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Lu Zhi looked unaware of it, looking at his nose and his heart. Liao Li was confused by Yan Fei's behavior and felt resentful of his contemptuous attitude.
For Liu Chan, he had no time to care about the affairs of the three of them, but turned to look at Huang Quan and said in a deep voice: "What Gong Yuan and Shi Ying said is reasonable. Tomorrow, General Cheqi led his army to pursue Jiang Ji,
Be sure to keep the people in Zheng County, Huayin and other places, and do not allow Jiang Ji to move one person away."
"I accept the order! I dare to ask who your Majesty wants to stop Le Chi and prevent him from moving to the people?" Huang Quan asked with a worried look on his face.
In the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao moved the people away in front of him. Today he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Liu Chan pondered for a moment and whispered: "It's better to let Boyue or Shizai lead his army to go there. Who are you?"
Huang Quan stroked his beard and replied, "Your Majesty, Bo Yue is extremely brave and thoughtful. It is better to let him lead his army to pursue Le Chi for five thousand days and nights to stop him from moving. As for the scholars, I still need him.
Assistant, it may be difficult to get him out of the army."
"But!" Liu Chan looked at the military officers under the tent and shouted loudly: "Where is Jiang Wei?"
"The last one is here!" Jiang Wei replied.
"I ordered you to lead your army to pursue Le Chi for 5,000 days and nights, preventing him from moving to Shang Shang, and the people of Luo and the two counties entered Jingzhou. If you can defeat Le Chi, try to attack Wu Pass, you will retreat if you cannot." Liu Chan ordered.
Jiang Wei responded excitedly: "The last general will take the order!"
After pausing, Liu Chan glanced around and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, except for the former general's troops, the rest of the generals will follow the chariots and cavalry to pursue Jiang Ji."
"No!" everyone responded.
As he said that, Liu Chan looked at Wang Ping again and said, "The army will enter the city tomorrow and must be completely unjust. Anyone who takes advantage of the people's property will be killed and executed."
"No!" Wang Ping responded.
