this…

The sudden change and the opponent's identity made the entire Lu family army wary, and Lu Yan and Tai Shixiang wanted to step forward.

Under such an ambush, if you want to win, you must capture the king first before capturing the thief!

But before Tai Shixiang and Lu Yan could take a step, Lu Xun immediately stretched out his hand to stop their movements. Under everyone's doubtful eyes, he smiled and said.

——"Now there are only friendly forces and no enemies in the Jiming Mountain!"

——"Everything we did before was performed for the enemies outside the valley..."

As soon as this statement came out...

The whole house was silent, the entire valley, and the entire 25,000-odd Lu family army were silent!

Silence...a long silence!

These Lu family sergeants... seemed to suddenly understand something, and at the same time seemed to be... extremely confused!

…

…

Anlu City, in the study.

A scout quickly broke in: "Report - The Lu Jiajun has broken into Jiming Mountain for half an hour. The shouts of killing are shaking in the valley. Fire arrows can be seen shooting out in the distance. Some trees have been burned... The entrance is filled with dust and smoke.

I can’t clearly see the reality in it.”

The tone of the scout's report was a little nervous, and his brows were raised high. His brows were full of worries about the reinforcements of 25,000 people.

This time, there was no need for Guan Lin to open his mouth, Zhang Xingcai said directly.

"If we go to explore again, we should go down first!"

Just before, Zhang Xingcai was asking about the key point. He only mentioned that Lingju agreed to go to Wancheng to instigate the rebellion of the prefect Hou Yin. But how did Hou Yin surrender? The letter Guan Lin gave to Lingju

What is inside?

Zhang Xingcai still knows nothing about this...

She...she is too curious now, too eager for the truth.

The scout looked at Guan Lin in fear, only to see Guan Lin say calmly, "What Xingcai said is what I meant, go explore again, be careful-"

"No..." the scout agreed and left quickly.

Only Guan Lin and Zhang Xingcai were left in the study here.

Zhang Xingcai asked hurriedly: "Brother Yunqi, please continue to tell me how Miss Lingju met Hou Yin, how she persuaded him, and... what was written in the bamboo slip you gave to Miss Lingju?"

Three questions in a row...

Guan Lin pondered for a moment and then said: "I just reminded Lingju that if you want to see Hou Yin, you must be involved with the suffering of the people of Nanyang. Although I have never met Hou Yin, I have heard some of his stories.

Rumor has it that I know something about him, and he cares about the people in Nanyang area... He is a person who cares about the common people and has great ambitions to save the people, and he is a righteous man!"

"As for...how Lingju met him, I don't know. I only know that they met once, and I also know that Lingju handed my letter to Hou Yin, and Hou Yin also saw it seriously.

That bamboo slip…”

The topic turned to the bamboo slips, and Zhang Xingcai then asked: "Then... what is the content of this bamboo slips?"

"Spread a small amount into an acre—"

Guan Lin said without thinking: "It is my uncle and Zhuge's military advisor who are now implementing the agricultural tax reform in Bashu and the entire Jingzhou, and the tax reform of 'dividing a child into an acre'!"

this…

Zhang Xingcai tapped her forehead lightly, and then asked: "Then what is 'dividing a small person into an acre'? According to you, this is just an agricultural tax, a tax provision, a government order...A government order can change a person who has soldiers in his hands."

Are you hostile to the governor?"

this…

Guan Lin briefly explained the contents of the business.

"...Actually, to put it more simply, it is to abolish all taxes including poll tax, agricultural tax, and corvee, and distribute these taxes evenly among the acres. Whoever has more fields will pay more taxes, and whoever has less fields will pay more taxes.

, just pay less tax...If you don’t have a field, you can have ten more cubs, and you won’t have to pay taxes if you have eight cubs!”

"ah…"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai felt incredible. She asked in surprise: "If this is the case, can the treasuries of Yizhou and Jingzhou still have money and food?"

"If the land can be re-measured..." Guan Lin said with emotion: "The money and food that can be received will only be more than the current one. Of course, because the interests of many people are involved, there may be many difficulties, but...

If it were that man, he would probably be able to solve it easily."

That man, of course, refers to Zhuge Liang...

The world remembers him more for his military strategies, Qimen formations, Longzhong Dui, and Liu Chu Qishan... which makes Cao Wei tremble, but in fact... these are not his strengths. His most awesome thing is

Governing a country is the implementation and extension of policies!

According to Guan Lin's thinking, as long as an "advanced idea" can be told to Zhuge Liang, then Zhuge Liang will definitely have a way to put this idea into practice...

Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't stop him.

"Of course, now is not the time to talk..." Guan Lin brought the topic back, "What I actually want to tell you is that, as I just said, the people of Nanyang have suffered hard over the years, from taxes, labor, and the persecution of Cao Wei.

and oppression... They are the most miserable people in the north. Now, every year, there are countless men who die in the fields, die on the road, and die under the pressure of taxes..."

"Unexpectedly, Cao Wei's order to recruit widows was like taking away their last hope. They originally thought that by working hard and saving some money for a few years, they could buy a woman and marry him.

Wife, living a mediocre life like this, even if one day they die of exhaustion in the fields or doing hard labor, they still accept it... But under the order of widowhood, do they still dare to die? If they die, they have saved money all their lives to buy it.

The wife will be confiscated and rewarded to the military household...if she dies, there will be nothing left!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's tone was sad.

In words, it is difficult to conceal my sympathy and empathy for the people of Nanyang.

His tone became lower.

"They used to live with humble hope, but now they... Even their last hope was ruthlessly taken away by Cao Cao. I am also very surprised... Why does Cao Cao hate Nanyang so much, especially Wancheng... But this is the fact

, Nanyang, Wancheng... This is not a place for people in Cao Wei at all, it is a place of oppression... the most severe oppression! It is a place where even animals cannot stay!"

Guan Lin said a lot in one breath.

Zhang Xingcai seemed to understand, "So, when Hou Yin saw "A Little Divide" in Jingzhou and Bashu areas, he would...be a little frightened, and he would directly surrender to you?"

"It's not that simple..." Guan Lin said calmly: "After that, Hou Yin and I wrote a total of twenty-three letters. I found that the prefect Hou Yin was a well-educated and sensible person who had suffered hardships.

Compassionate wise man, at first... we were just talking about how we share the same family, and about the oppression in Nanyang... But as we wrote more and more letters, we began to talk about the current situation, the reasons and origins of Nanyang's oppression, and the

This method of governing the world, talk about class... talk about how to make the people have hope, and how to make the clans compromise..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcai swallowed deeply and said, "You mean, you have been exchanging letters this month..."

"Yes!" Guan Lin answered affirmatively, "In fact, from the first letter, I was already sure that he would abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, surrender to Jingzhou, and help us end the suffering in Nanyang, but it was not until the twenty-first letter that he

Only then did he say the words of surrender...and told me all about Zhu Ling's false surrender, Le Jin's thirty thousand troops, and Jiming Valley's conspiracy...which also allowed me to formulate a plan based on this information.

Today’s plan.”

"Then... when Yu Jin made an appointment with you, you and Hou Yin were also writing letters!" Zhang Xingcai was dumbfounded, and she continued to ask... her tone was already a little stuttered, and she sounded a bit shocked.

"That was the thirteenth letter, and we just started talking about the topic of 'class solidification'." Guan Lin said truthfully.

"So...that's it..." Zhang Xingcai didn't ask this time.

She stared at Guan Lin with great impossibility, "Then... what did you talk about in the last letter? But it was about this battlefield, right?"

"The one related to the battlefield is the penultimate letter, which is the twenty-second letter... As for the last letter, I described to him an ideal state, where the people at the bottom have hope, the clans in the middle have ideals, and the high-level

An ideal state where rulers can stabilize this rule and satisfy every class is also an ideal state where all classes compromise together!"

That's not what Zhang Xingcai wants to hear... "I don't want to know about this Utopia. I just want to know what your plan is in this battlefield today?"

"The plan..." Guan Lin pointed at Jiming Mountain, Yue Jin's soldiers and horses, and Yu Jin's soldiers and horses, "Our plan is that all Cao's troops will stay here and be buried here -

—”

"Burial?"

"Yes!" Guan Lin answered resolutely, "The battlefield is not a place of mercy, nor is it a place of compassion. The Jiangxia battlefield should be turned into a flag to ignite the anger of all those oppressed by Cao Wei. Wherever there is oppression, there should be

Resistance, we must guide their resistance and rekindle their hope of overthrowing this hegemonic order——"

When he said this, Guan Lin's eyes widened in a rare sight, and his emotions actually became excited because of his words.

"So, in this battle... no one of Cao Wei's generals, even one person, can be allowed to escape -"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's eyes looked at the map, looking at the direction where Yu Forbidden Army was marching, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes. The light here was like a cold blade.

He said calmly and coldly

"Don't go back, bury them all here -"
