Chapter 273

Allowing the land annexed by the great families to remain private property, and not letting them pay taxes on it!

Where would Lin Yang get the grain?

You must know!

With the world in chaos today, the fields in the hands of most commoners cannot provide much grain and forage!

In this Han world, most of the grain is held in the hands of the great families!

If you do not collect taxes from the great families and powerful clans!

Are you going to rely on the commoners farming to feed your soldiers?

In Zhou Yu's view, such a move is simply courting death!

Once the soldiers have no supply of grain and forage!

A mutiny is inevitable!

"Cough, cough!"

Zhang Zhao, sitting to the side, gave a light cough; in his heart, he actually held Zhou Yu's words in contempt!

How could Lin Yang not know the principles that even you know?

It is just that!

The other party does have a way to supply grain and forage!

According to the news their Zhang family received!

It is said that the rice over in Xuzhou has an astonishing yield per mu!

Throughout the entire Xuzhou territory, Lin Yang has opened up hundreds of thousands of mu of wasteland as public fields!

The grain produced by these public fields alone is enough for all the commoners within Xuzhou to have something to eat!

If he, Zhang Zhao, had known earlier that Lin Yang would come here, he would not have defected to Sun Jian!

"Forget it, let's not offer any more strategies for now!"

As a member of a great family, Zhang Zhao considers the Zhang family first, and Sun Jian only second!

Now that Lin Yang's army of thirty thousand has arrived, although it seems small!

But Zhang Zhao knows very clearly!

Standing behind Lin Yang are all the great families of the entire Yangzhou!

Sun Jian's demise is merely a matter of time.

For a moment, the entire hall appeared exceptionally quiet!

Sun Jian, sitting above, could not understand it at all!

Is it really worth it for Lin Yang to act like this?

And at the same time, in Wu Jun on the other side

"Haha, today my great army has entered Wu Jun, all thanks to you gentlemen!"

At this moment in Wu Jun, the atmosphere was jubilant and exceptionally lively!

With the arrival of Lin Yang's army, the crowd of great families, led by the four great families of Wu Jun, had long since prepared a welcoming banquet!

At the banquet, the numerous members of the great families all expressed their submission!

Except for Yan Baihu, who currently occupies Bai Hushan outside Wuxian, all the counties of Wu Jun have surrendered to Lin Yang's command!

"We have drifted for half a lifetime without meeting a wise lord. Now that the Master has arrived, if you do not despise us, we are willing to welcome the Master as the Lord of Yangzhou!"

The members of the four great families looked at each other, and then a group of family officials all knelt down with a clatter!

"We are willing to welcome the Master as the Lord of Yangzhou!"

"We are willing to welcome the Master as the Lord of Yangzhou!"

"We are willing to welcome the Master as the Lord of Yangzhou!"

"......."

The resounding voices echoed, and Lin Yang did not doubt the power of these Jiangdong families in the slightest!

With a smile beaming on his face, Lin Yang continued to exchange pleasantries with them!

The entire banquet lasted until late at night before it was considered initially concluded!

In the Wu Jun Xianya Sect

"E'lai, bring me a bowl of hangover soup!"

He said this to Dian Wei outside, and the latter arranged for a Personal Guard to go!

"Sigh, Fengxiao, these Jiangdong families are truly too enthusiastic!"

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Yang spoke to Guo Jia at his side!

"Haha, in this Han world, apart from the Master, there is no one else who treats the great families like this!"

This trip to Yangzhou has had an exceptionally smooth start!

Not only did he successfully take over the land of Wu Jun!

But he also gained a reinforcement of ten thousand troops from Wu Jun!

As long as he resolves the ten thousand bandit soldiers of Yan Baihu outside, Wu Jun will be completely worry-free!

"Fengxiao, now that Wu Jun is in hand, how should we deal with Yan Baihu, who is entrenched on Bai Hushan?"

Time waits for no one; Lin Yang must completely occupy Yangzhou before Yuan Gonglu returns to reinforce it!

And!

Before that, he still has to face Sun Jian's army of tens of thousands!

"Master, I believe that attacking the heart is superior, and attacking the city is inferior!"

Yan Baihu's ten thousand troops, to put it nicely, are soldiers and government troops!

To put it bluntly, they are actually just a group of bandits!

They occupy the two mountains of Bai Hushan and Shicheng Mountain!

Facing encirclement, they fight if they can win, and hide in the mountains if they cannot!

One cannot use conventional methods to deal with such a force!

"Oh? What is your plan?"

His eyes brightened slightly, and Lin Yang leaned in closer!

The next moment, Guo Jia whispered the strategy for attacking Yan Baihu into Lin Yang's ear!

"Haha, good, this matter shall be done according to Fengxiao's method!"

Laughing aloud, Lin Yang directly agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion!

He must resolve the Yangzhou war as quickly as possible!

Otherwise, if it drags on, chaos will inevitably ensue!

Especially since it is now the third year of Chuping!

If Lin Yang remembers correctly!

The imperial court seems to be sending Liu Yao to serve as the Inspector of Yangzhou!

This person still has some prestige!

Once the other party joins forces with Zhou Xin of Danyang Commandery, it will take Lin Yang quite some effort to pacify Yangzhou!

Two days later, Wuxian, Changxing Village

"Big Brother Li, what are they doing over there?"

"Little sister, come over quickly! I heard that our Yangzhou Governor has changed. This new Governor Lin has sent people to distribute grain and meat!"

"What? Distributing grain and meat?"

For a moment, following the commotion in Changxing Village, countless old, young, women, and children in the entire village walked out!

As soon as they got close, they heard the soldiers shouting!

"Governor Lin has ordered that every household with the elderly, young, or women can receive one shi of grain and one jin of meat!"

Under the soldiers' shouting, for a moment, countless people in the entire village became excited!

And among the crowd, several swarthy men, seeing this scene, had their expressions turn excited!

Heavens!

The hometown is distributing grain and meat?

They must tell this good news to their little friends in the mountains!
