Chapter 568 War Season (Part 2) (Additional update for the alliance leader Tiger Bone Treasure)
“Now it’s time to raise food.” Shao Xun looked at Lu Zhi and Yu Chen and said.
Shao Xun walked to the wall, looked at the map, and said: "Liu Cong is a person who was killed after all. As long as he refuses to surrender, his mind will be very clear. He is very determined now..."
Liu Cong studied literature and martial arts when he was young, and he was quite successful. He can shoot a hard bow, ride a strong horse, has good martial arts skills, is also good at calligraphy, can also play music, and can talk about music theory with Sima Chi.
After the crown ceremony, I traveled to Luoyang, broadened my knowledge and made friends with many people.
Later he served as the chief secretary of Xingxing Prefecture, participated in the secrets of a county, became familiar with the operation of the government, and had a thorough understanding of the drafting, uploading and issuing of official documents.
Later he served as the right commander of the Xiongnu and managed the affairs of the Hu people.
After that, he served as lieutenant of Qi State and began to manage the army.
He then went to the Sima Ying shogunate to gain experience, and he held both military and civilian positions.
After Liu Yuan raised his troops, he led his troops to conquer the east and west, and accumulated rich battlefield experience.
In fact, he is really more suitable to be the emperor of Liu Han than his brother Liu He, because the latter is just "easy to learn and mature early" and has more scholarly qualities.
Of course, this does not mean that scholars are not suitable for the emperor. Some scholars read a lot, are good at maneuvering, and have good skills, and can be controlled through political means.
But don’t you know when this is? These are troubled times.
Isn’t it nonsense to let the literati become the emperor in troubled times? When people's hearts grow grassy, brothers who have been leading troops abroad for a long time can overturn the table.
What Liu He lacked was the experience of leading troops to fight abroad.
This also reminds Shao Xun that if he does not live long enough to straighten out various affairs, then the position of heir cannot be handed over to a heir without military capabilities, because he is trying to establish The dynasty is not the world of aristocratic families, and the stability is not enough.
But if you need aristocratic families to help you stabilize the dynasty, then you must be like Guang and get along with them. To some extent, it is also the greatest instability.
During the changes in the Southern Dynasties, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen and Five Dynasties, weren’t the wealthy families abandoning the original royal family and replacing them?
"Liu Cong..." Shao Xun pointed his finger in the direction of Pingyang and said: "Hebei is a vast plain with no danger to defend. It's a bit passive to continue fighting like this."
Lu Zhiyi Listening, his brows furrowed.
He didn't like to hear this. What a wonderful place Hebei is, the foundation of Wangba!
Cao Mengde couldn't put it down.
Take Yecheng as an example. He built the Zhangqu Weir in the west of the city, which not only eliminated the flooding in Zhangshui, but also provided a water source (Changming ditch) for the soldiers and people of Yecheng.
The Tianjing Weir built by Ximen Bao was also rebuilt by Cao Cao, allowing the Zhang River to flow back to the east. There are twelve pedals in it. Each pedal is three hundred steps apart. There are separate sluice gates to divide the Zhang River into twelve Flow, the place where the water flows is called Yanboze.
He also built a stone weir in the south of the city to divert Huan water from Anyang into Ye, collect Zhang water and flow eastward to irrigate farmland - which is now silted up.
These water conservancy projects carried out by Cao Mengde not only facilitate farmland irrigation, but also facilitate transportation.
There is also Xuanwu Pond in the west of the city. Not only can it be used for boat training, but the surrounding environment is also beautiful, making it a good place to visit.
There are lakes, rivers, canals, and ditches, which have brought convenient transportation, agricultural harvests, and beautiful scenery. You think the name of the first famous city in Hebei is Bai Coming?
It’s just that since the Jin Dynasty, Hebei has not been paid attention to. During the Taiping Period, many water conservancy projects fell into disrepair. After the war broke out, no one cared about it, making Yecheng unable to exert its full strength.
In Lu Zhi's view, there should be no hesitation at this time, and the shogunate should be moved directly to Yecheng, and great efforts should be made to repair the ditches, weirs, post roads, and cities since the Cao Wei Dynasty, so as to rejuvenate them. .
Even if Chen Gong wanted to enjoy himself and planned to build a garden, Lu Zhi would not dissuade him because he was willing to come to Hebei. He would even sell his old face in private to raise money, grain, and men to repair the garden and palace.
“We can’t be led by Liu Cong.” Shao Xun said: “Zhao Gu came to Ji County for two purposes. One is to stabilize people’s hearts, and the other is to spy on my retreat. If I gather elite soldiers and strong generals, In the north, he confidently marched eastward, besieged Chaoge, and even tried to attack Fangtou for the second time. If I moved my troops south, he would retreat to Jijun and hold on, so that the pressure on Shi Le would be reduced."
Yu Chen looked at the map and asked after a long time: "What if we attack Jijun first?"
He was a little obsessed with Jijun.
After being appointed as a censor, his first position was that of the prefect of Jijun. After many years of pacification here, in the end, they had no choice but to withdraw to Henan with the soldiers and civilians.
If he could regain this place, he really wanted to go back and see the place where he once governed, fought, and spent sleepless nights.
"No." Shao Xun rejected it directly.
He didn’t want to give Shi Le a chance.
Are you kidding? Give Shile one year and it will be much more difficult to attack Zhongshan, Changshan and other places.
He will be beaten this year, beaten to death with a stick, without giving him the slightest chance to stand up.
If he could achieve this goal, he could even bear to let Zhao Gu conquer places such as Chaoge, Gongxian and even Dangyin.
Yu Chen nodded silently and said, "What does Mr. Ming need from me?"
Shao Xun glanced at his father-in-law and said, "Young Master, you can go to Anyang and sit down to persuade the nobles. He is so powerful that he can provide food and troops to resist the Xiongnu. "I heard that Zhao Gu only has 20,000 troops, so it is not difficult to defend him," Yu Chen said.
"No." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "Be lenient if you expect the enemy. Zhao Lu and Kongtu will ride thousands of people, named Yu Shihu. I think most of them have been subdued by Liu Ya. The war in Hanoi and Jijun is mostly under the control of the Liu Han clan, and Zhao Gu may not be the only one with the army."
"Indeed," Yu Chen smiled bitterly. How could Shi Hu be able to control "old veterans" like Zhao Lu and Kong Dou?
Shi Hu first needs to prove himself and establish his prestige before he can convince others and then join him.
But he is just starting out, and it has only been two years since he first led the army. It will be good if he can lead his group of people well. Don't think too much about other things. I really think that Liu Han's court will not restrict him. You.
"Ming Gong wants to attack Hanoi?" Lu Zhi asked.
Shao Xun did not answer directly, only said: "Why can the war situation be limited to a corner of Hebei? Now it is a full-scale war with the Xiongnu. It can be fought anywhere. There are no restrictions. It just needs to be divided into priorities." < br>
Lu Zhi was thoughtful.
Shao Xun then pointed to Hanoi and Hongnong and said: "These two places can defend the outskirts of Bingzhou. We can fight a dozen of them."
Yu Chen looked at the map.
Hanoi can just pay it back. Hongnong's Xin'an City is not easy to fight. It is equivalent to Hanhan Valley Pass.
"Yu Gong is the school captain of the company. Does he know the situation of Hongnong?" Shao Xun asked.
Yu Chen thought for a while and said: "Wang Mi can't actually be the master of Hongnong. He is not worried. In addition to sending troops to harass Luoyang in recent years, he has mainly been in Shaanxi City. Wait until the county cleans up the powerful and divides the fields to train the troops."
"The bandits and thieves will always eat the big ones," Lu Zhi cursed.
Shao Xun wanted to laugh a little.
Lu Zhi, do you and Wang Mi have class conflicts?
Wang Feibao really likes to eat big families, and then divide their money, food, land and houses, and join the army. The counties of Hongnong had been tortured by him for several years, and there were probably not many wealthy families left. If so, he probably followed the path of the Huns, making Wang Mi afraid to touch him.
But Wang Mi got it right. Attacking the local tyrants to divide their land is actually beneficial to a rogue bandit like him, as it can help him transform from a rogue bandit to a land-based bandit.
After a few years, to put it bluntly, his foundation in Hongnong was slightly stronger than Shile's foundation in Hebei.
The people of Hongnong did not naturally favor the Jin court.
Wang Mi killed the scholars and local tyrants above them, and distributed the land to the Zhuangke tribe. Who do you think they were looking for? People are all realistic. The main family is gone, but life will continue to go on.
After Shao Xun finished laughing, he looked at Lu Zhi without any trace.
There is no doubt that Lu Zhi comes from a wealthy family, and his position is also on that side. If in the future...
Shao Xun thought a lot and thought a lot.
To be honest, the "revolutionary nature" of the peasant uprising army is relatively strong, and it is also very destructive. It is very lethal to the powerful local nobles. For example, Wang Mi went west from Qingzhou, and three It is as fast as traveling through Henan - there is a saying that the emergence of Wang Feibao greatly promoted the construction level of Wubao and manors in the Jin Dynasty. Manors with insufficient safety level were eliminated in that wave.
Shao Xun also divided the land, but he was actually a "moderate revolution", that is, he chose a white land to resettle the refugees and used it as a basic operation. There were not many land rights disputes and he did not have to face the gentry head-on.
Even if it is not a land of white land, such as Xiangcheng County, he has spent many years of hard work, relying on the favorable situation that there are no big gentry in the area, military and political forces, and killing it little by little, so that the local wealthy families can spit out the occupied land and population—— In fact, if the laws of the Jin Dynasty were strictly implemented, such as how much land an official would occupy, there would be no aristocratic families at all, but no one would enforce them.
"If Wang Mi can't shrink out, it's actually difficult to defeat him." Yu Chen said worriedly: "Ming Gong also fought in Hongnong back then, so you should know the terrain and the people's sentiments. If you want to defeat Wang Mi, We still have to lure him out."
Shao Xun nodded slightly and continued to look at the map.
The primary goal is to eliminate Shi Le. This is the main direction of attack. The other attacks are all feints and cannot be prioritized.
But the layout of the feint attack is also very important. If the purpose of containing the Huns cannot be achieved, it is better not to fight.
“That’s it!” Shao Xun suddenly took a picture of the map and said.
Yu Chen and Lu Zhi looked at him strangely.
"Tune the Yinqiang Zuoying northward to the three cities of Heyang, recruit 15,000 people from Chenliu, Jiyin, and Yingchuan and send them to Heyang, with Wang Que'er as the commander."
"The captured army returned to the west, and the mule army went north. Then we asked the Forbidden Army's heroic cavalry army to be mobilized. These thousands of cavalry were all given to Wang Que'er to attack Hanoi."
"I want to go back to Henan. , Yu Gong returned south with me," Shao Xun said.
"Okay." Yu Chen responded directly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The brat was finally willing to leave Yecheng.
If you don’t leave, I will ask my daughter to come over.
Shao Xun called Yang Qin again and said, "Find a few good riders and ride quickly to Yiyang and ask my nephew to come - Junyi to meet you."
"As ordered." Yang Qin left quickly.
Shao Xun thought for a moment and had nothing to say for the time being.
He knew very well that he could not leave Hebei easily now. Once you leave, the situation can easily change, but Henan is your hometown and you can't stay away for a long time.
He urgently needs a shogunate station that can take care of Henan and Hebei, has convenient transportation, and can quickly mobilize troops and food.
