Jizhou is a territory, facing Taihang Mountain in the west and Pingyuan in the east.
The Taihang Mountains extended from the north to the south, separating Jizhou and Bingzhou.
The Black Mountain Army occupied the Taihang Mountains and valleys, crisscrossing them, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Compared to the Guangzong Yellow Turban Army, the Black Mountain Army was a threat to Jizhou.
Destroy Zhang Jiao and pacify Guangzong.
Zhao Feng took over the position of General Bei Zhonglang, and the next step was how to pacify the Black Mountain Army.
Liu Ji pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and reported,"My lord, the Black Mountain Army has occupied the Taihang Mountains.”
"If we attack forcefully, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Summoning someone to surrender would take time, so he might as well use both kindness and might!”
"How do we recruit them?" Zhao Feng asked after sipping his tea. How to use both kindness and power?"
"My lord, the Black Mountain Army is made up of poor commoners. Due to the loss of government and the high taxes, they took the risk and fled into the mountains to become the Black Mountain Army.”
"My lord, one of them is to move the people near Taihang Mountain to the plains, cut off the Black Mountain Army's rations and dig up their water channels.”
"The Black Mountain Army occupies the Taihang Valley, and the terrain is dangerous. If they cut off their rations and dug up their water channels, their morale would waver.”
"In addition, send people to set up camp outside the mountain and wait for the Black Mountain Army to escape the valley!”
"The Black Mountain Army left Jizhou through the Eight Paths of the Taihang Mountains. They could take advantage of the moment when they escaped to suddenly attack and occupy the Black Mountain Army camp, leaving them with no way to retreat.”
Liu Ji analyzed for a moment and told Zhao Feng his plan.
"How?" Zhao Feng frowned.”
"My lord, if the Black Mountain Army surrenders, other than the leader of the bandits who has committed countless crimes, the rest will return to their hometown to redeem themselves.”
"First, appease the people. Second, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army is a general. If Zhang Yan rebelled, he could take advantage of her surrender and execute her on the spot.”
"The commoners are the foundation of Jizhou. If we want to pacify the Yellow Turbans of Jizhou, we must first appease the hearts of the commoners.”
"Alright, Bowen's words are reasonable. Tomorrow we will arrange for the Han army to move the mountain people near Taihang.”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
All the generals present agreed in unison.
"Inform the people of Jizhou of the evil of the Yellow Turbans and the imperial edict of the Son of Heaven.”
"In addition, outside Guangzong City, the Yellow Turban who surrendered can first open up wasteland outside the city to prepare food and grass for our army. Then, according to the severity of the conviction, they can return to their hometown.”
"Yes!"
Clang!
" Kill!" Zhao Feng shouted as he took out the God-Slaying Halberd.
"In half a year's time, pacify the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou!”
"Yes!"
"Alright, make your own arrangements. After that, let me take a look at the summary!”
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun, Liu Ji, and the others quickly left.
Zhao Feng stood up and took a sip of tea.
Governor Jizhou and pacifying the Yellow Turbans was his first move.
Ji Province was rich and was where the Great Han Dynasty's money and food were.
If he could control Jizhou, it would be like controlling the lifeline of Great Han.
"Zhang Jiao, I'm afraid that's the reason why you started a riot in Julu.”
"Ding…Congratulations to host for successfully signing in today. Reward: 1,000 Heavenly Policy Troops!"
"1,000 soldiers from the Heavenly Policy Army?"
Zhao Feng smiled faintly. Currently, he had around five thousand cavalry under him.
"Next time, it would be good if we could get some food.”
According to historical records, there would probably be a locust plague in a year.
Then came the drought.
Therefore, he had to eradicate the Yellow Turban in Jizhou within half a year.
Then, he would lead the people to rest and recuperate.
Ta!
Outside the door, an Embroidered Uniform Guard quickly arrived.
"What is it?"
Putting down the teacup, Zhao Feng was deep in thought.
"Reporting to my lord, Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong have left Jizhou for Yuzhou.”
"He went to Yuzhou? Send someone to inform my father to move all the mountain people around Taihang Mountain.”
"Yes!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards responded and quickly left.
In the next few days.
Zhao Feng ordered Zhao Yun to be the governor of the Tiance Army and Luo Cheng to be the governor of the black-armored cavalry.
In a few days, he had also obtained the curved shaft plow, the barrow, and other farming tools from the sign-in system.
From then on, Zhao Feng taught the people in Guangzong to reclaim land and raise food.
In addition, send people to Ye City in Wei County to guard the south of Hebei and prevent the Yellow Turban from coming back.
An operation to relocate the mountain people began in Jizhou.
Due to the wide migration, it even alarmed Luoyang.
Several days later.
Luoyang, Imperial Palace.
In Chengde Hall, civil and military officials kowtowed to the emperor Liu Hong.
Liu Hong's body had been drained recently. He felt weak and powerless, so he was supported by the Ten Attendants to the hall.
He looked at the officials in the hall and sighed.
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have been a hardworking emperor. Who knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion would make me unable to sleep and eat in peace?”
Pa!
The Emperor Liu Hong suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
"Great Scholar Lu Zhi, you released Liu Guanzhang, who killed Zuo Feng, and deceived the emperor. From today onwards, no one is allowed to persuade me. In addition, I have already conferred Zhao Feng the title of acting general of the North and governor of Jizhou.”
"Your Majesty, the situation in Jizhou is not optimistic. Why don't you send a relative of the Han clan to prevent some people from secretly strengthening themselves in the name of pacifying the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou?”
Zong Zheng Liu Yan was quite selfish, he wanted to use this opportunity to enter Jizhou and take over.
"Zong Zheng, are you suspecting the Zhao Clan of Chang Mountain?" Liu Hong frowned slightly.”
"I don't dare, but I know that Zhao Feng's people in Jizhou are seething with resentment. He moved many mountain people out of Taihang, causing them to be in dire straits.”
"Therefore, I believe that although Zhao Feng defeated the Guangzong Yellow Turban and killed Zhang Jiao, he is still a powerful man. However, he is arrogant and unreasonable, and cannot govern Jizhou.”
