Chapter 1600 The fool who robbed the people

Guiyang County is geographically close to Jiaozhou. If merchants in Jingzhou want to go to Jiaozhou, Guiyang is the best transit station.

However, Jingzhou is rich, and merchants all go north to trade in the Central Plains. Jiaozhou has nothing but some luxury goods such as pearls and ivory to attract people. These things are available locally in Jingzhou, and merchants who want to make money are too lazy to travel to Jiaozhou, and just buy them directly from their own local area.

Jiaozhou is a relatively remote place in the Han Dynasty, and the local people cannot compare with the Central Plains in various fields. In addition, the barbarian indigenous people who appear from time to time, and the harsh geographical environment and climate make the Central Plains people really not go to Jiaozhou unless they cannot survive.

Historically, the Jiaozhou area was an exclusive southern area where the Han Dynasty exiled. No one was willing to go, but Jiaozhou still needed development and could only send the prisoners to it, which was regarded as waste.

Before the Song Dynasty, when I heard that I would be exiled to Lingnan, many prisoners were like their own fathers.

Jiaozhou also developed little by little by little due to this policy.

Jiaozhou in this era is not as rich as the Central Plains.

For example, after the soldiers brought by Shi Hui and others entered Guiyang County, they were like local buns entering a big city, and everything was fresh. You should know that Jiaozhou had not been fully developed at this time. Although Guiyang County was relatively remote, it was all under the Han people, and its development was better than that in many places in Jiaozhou.

After the success, the hearts of the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army began to change.

In troubled times, there is not much difference between the army and the bandits. The people are often wary of the "soldiers and bandits". Some unscrupulous troops will plunder the local people after the war. Some will even kill good people and make achievements. I don't know how many innocent people are killed. Until now, the only one who has not plundered the people may be Liu Jun from the Shenwu court.

After the Jiaozhou army took down a city, they would still worry about whether they could defend it. However, after they captured one city after another, the Jiaozhou soldiers thought of putting their heads on their waists. They didn’t know what to do tomorrow, so they should always reward themselves.

So, the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army began to loot in an organized manner.

Some low-level generals even directly participate in it and share the benefits.

Every time the Jiaozhou Army conquered a city, the whole army would make a fortune. Among the Jiaozhou Army, it is normal for soldiers to fight for them with their lives. After winning the battle, they rewarded themselves and relaxed their mindset.

Shi Hui and the others wanted to stop him, so what should they do to stop him? Even if the soldiers were obedient and felt unhappy, how could they fight in the future? Besides, the people below got so many benefits, and they were filial to Shi Gan and they were not filial to Shi Gan. Not to mention Shi Gan, Shi Song and the other two sent their confidants to sack him.

Well, there are some things that senior figures are certainly not easy to come forward, they must do it secretly and take the big head.

A typical person who is a bitch and wants a archery.

With such a hypocritical leader, the soldiers of Jiaozhou Army became even more unscrupulous. Only the people of Guiyang County were suffering.

Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan knew that the military and civilians under his rule were under the power of the Jiaozhou Army, but what could he do? He did not have the strength to counterattack, so he could only hope that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible. The sins suffered today will avenge them tomorrow.

Shi Gan and Shi Song were fighting with Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Guiyang County only has so much wealth. If it attacks Xiangyang, the core city of Jingzhou, wouldn’t it be rich? As the ruling class of Jiaozhou, Shi Hui and their wealth are enough for them to have enough food and clothing, but it is not enough to be as luxurious as the Central Plains. After all, Shi Xie is in power now, he has always been frugal and has taken strict care of his son. He doesn’t give much salary and rewards.

It can be seen from this that there is a reason why Shi Xie was able to rule in Jiaozhou for so long.

Everyone wants to live a comfortable and comfortable life. Shigan and Shisong also want to take advantage of this expedition to make some extra money and improve their living standards. Shisong will not confiscate their spoils. Shigan and Shisong are not as frugal as Shihui. They spend a lot of money every day. So Shigan and Shisong found Shihui and expressed their ideas to him.

As the person who has the most hope and strength to inherit Shi Xie's position, Shi Hui needed the support of other brothers the most. Even though he felt that doing so was not very good, it would lead to the hostility of the people of Guiyang County and Liu Jun towards the Jiaozhou Army, he finally agreed to the suggestions of Shigan and Shisong.

"It's time for the soldiers to come from afar, and it's also necessary to relax. But don't disturb the local people, so as not to damage the reputation of Jiaozhou. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you two!" Shi Hui pretended not to see what problems happened. He was not responsible. He knew what virtues Shi Gan and Shi Song were.

With Shi Hui's disguise of defeat, Shi Gan and Shi Song worked harder. They didn't want to fight too hard.

The Jiaozhou army sent troops according to the orders of the Eastern Wu, not their original wishes. Shi Hui and the others also figured it out that their troops were just to share the pressure for the Eastern Wu. The losses were all Jiaozhou, but the benefits were the Eastern Wu.

Even Shihui didn't want to attack so hard. Even now the Jiaozhou army has a huge advantage.

Shi Hui later regretted his idea very much. He also regretted his indulgence in the soldiers to plunder the people. He had never expected that he would lose his life because of this decision.

The entire Guiyang County was almost beaten, and the rest was Guiyang City, the most important city in Guiyang County. Due to the continuous plunder of the Jiaozhou army, the people of other cities were frightened and immediately cleaned up their own weaknesses and ran towards Guiyang City.

Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan is someone who can block Sun Ce. The people believe in Zhao's ability. There is no problem in repelling the Jiaozhou Army again this time.

Zhao Fan was very grateful to the people for their trust in him, and he also tried his best to protect the people. Zhao Fan accepted the fleeing people one by one.

This question is here, isn’t Zhao Fan afraid of spies getting involved?

Zhao Fan was really not worried at all. Not to mention whether spies could get in, even if they got in, what would happen? Zhao Fan had a huge influence in Guiyang City and had enough troops, so he was not afraid of spies at all. Moreover, the Jiaozhou Army is now busy plundering the wealth of the people, so he didn't even care about attacking Guiyang City.
