Chapter 367 Fazheng suffered another disaster
"General, are we really going to let them go like this?" Li Tiao asked with some confusion as he looked at the rapid retreat of Ju Yitian Feng Yanliang and his party.
"Otherwise, do we have to leave them all here?" Yang Ji arranged for the troops to occupy the camp left by Ju Yi and others after they retreated, and at the same time notified Zhang Yan to quickly take the people out of the mountains. , and at the same time arranged for people to continue to expand the camp, they also had to answer Li Tiao's questions.
"Isn't it possible?" According to Li Tiao's understanding, they should all be kept here. Even if they cannot be killed, they should be brought back to Fenggao and placed under house arrest.
Not to mention Yan Liang, a general who only relies on force to lead the army in battle, Ju Yi alone is the number one general on Yuan Shao's side, not to mention the military soul Xianden is also there. If this combination is left If so, Liu Bei will definitely have a much easier time when he fights against Jizhou in the future.
Of course, after Ju Yi is arrested or killed, Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wen Wu may also undergo super evolution and their abilities will increase significantly.
However, even if Yuan Shao and the others super-evolve and their abilities are greatly increased, it will be difficult to grow a large army to command them.
Ju Yi, under Yuan Shao, is most likely to grow into the commander of a large army, and Zhang He is also very likely to grow into a commander of a large army.
I just don’t know if the restless advisers under Yuan Shao will become more calm and reduce their internal friction in this situation where they are about to lose.
To be honest, even if Yuan Shao loses Ju Yi, Liu Bei will still spend a lot of effort if he wants to conquer Jizhou. At least Yuan Shao is not weak, and there are many civil servants and generals under his command. It is also the best in the world.
If the Jizhou Group with Yuan Shao as its core can avoid internal friction, it may be able to delay it for a while, and then the changes will come, although that is a change allowed by the general trend controlled by Chen Xi.
But, after all, it is a hope, isn’t it?
“Although I don’t know much about the military strength under Xuande’s account, what I know is no weaker than Yuan Shaoming’s military strength. Why not attack Jizhou now and conquer Jizhou? Also brought under the rule of Duke Xuande?" Li Tiao expressed his doubts, which were also the doubts of many people under Liu Bei's rule.
Yang Ji looked at Li Tiao, thought for a moment, and said: "Indeed, with the current military strength of Xuande Gongzhang, Jizhou can be defeated equally, and even Youbian and Youbian can be captured together. .
But have you ever thought about the possibility, what if the local people make trouble after we take these three states?”
"How is this possible? What reason do they have to make trouble?" Li Tiao shook his head. He did not think that after Liu Bei captured the three states, the local people would rise up and make trouble.
"Really not?" Yang Ji looked at Li Tiao steadily, the expression on his face was very serious, as if he had seen the scene of people making trouble in the future.
"I..." Facing Yang Ji's very serious expression, Li Tiao was a little unsure. If Yang Ji was the only one who insisted, it could be said that Yang Ji had made a wrong judgment, but the key point What's more, the group of people in the Fenggao Government Affairs Department almost acquiesced in this matter, and even Liu Bei didn't say anything on it.
What does this mean? Li Tiao didn't know that his brain was not strong enough to think about such a top-level plan on a macro scale.
“You don’t even think about what kind of life the people under the rule of Xuande live now, and what kind of policy preferences they enjoy.
If other prefectures and counties are captured at this time, should the policies to benefit the people formulated by the Fenggao Government Affairs Office be rolled out in the new territory? If so, how many people can enjoy it? Can it be guaranteed that the people will really enjoy it?
Let’s not talk about anything else. The problem of basic education alone has already made us bald. We finally managed to get out of this big hole by demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall, or even cheating. Filled in. ”
It is true that they can, like many people think, occupy the space first and then consider how to build it. After all, there are templates for Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and they can just apply them directly when the time comes.
It’s just that construction requires people to build. The people mentioned here include people working on the front line, as well as various managers and various technical talents. The latter two types of people take time to build. It grows.
Even if it is a leek, it will take some time to grow before it can be harvested again.
Some people may say, are there no relevant talents in the newly occupied areas? Do we have to cultivate talents ourselves to participate in relevant construction?
You should first take a look at the various talent gaps listed by the Fenggao Government Affairs Department, and then decide whether there are enough local talents.
The people in this land are not fools, they can also compare. People who live under Liu Bei's rule, why can a primary school be opened in the village ancestral hall in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, while their ancestral hall here is too late? Hasn’t it started yet?
Of course you can explain your difficulties to the people, and the people will understand this difficulty at first. After all, any construction takes time.
But what about one year later, two years later, three years later?
Three years was indeed enough time for Liu Bei to send troops to conquer all the princes in various places and bring those lands and people back under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
But what then?
Three years during the war were not enough for Chen Xi to select and train enough grassroots managers, as well as more troublesome technical talents.
What Chen Xi needs is to build wherever he fights, the management system, education system, economic system and grassroots organizations, and then use the current heyday of the Han Empire to face the upcoming return of the Northern Huns. expansion pack, and then start the construction of a pan-Chinese cultural circle.
This is the main reason why Chen Xi decided to suspend the large-scale use of foreign troops within three years. In less than three years, he swallowed up the land of three states and two counties. They have already eaten enough. They can continue to eat. If so, they will have internal problems.
"So, our internal problems are actually big?" Li Tiao said in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that Liu Bei's power, which seemed to be flourishing on the surface, actually had more than one big thunder buried inside.
“Yes, we have expanded too fast in the past few years, and many hidden internal problems have not yet been solved. The reason why they have not exploded now is because the excessive expansion speed has covered up the problems.” Yang Jitan He said with a breath.
Although in troubled times, absolute force can suppress all problems, even Chen Xi can choose to use absolute force to embark on the path of evil.
However, while troubled times are destroying the existing order, they are also reshaping a new order.
Chen Xi needs time to reshape the new order, while their internal affairs are still relatively pure, to reshape the new order in the future.
Note that it is the future order they need, not the order after reconciliation and compromise between all parties. When all the dust settles, the order under Liu Bei's rule will be the new order of the Han Dynasty. Other forces will either cut off reform and reform, or they will collide with them, and then merge into the Han Dynasty in pieces. From then on, they will laugh and watch other forces jump out of the Central Plains. The lands outside the Han Dynasty created their own order.
......
"Master, didn't you just come back from Jiangdong? Why did you come to Licheng?" Xu Shu hurriedly left the construction site of the resettlement site. He ran out to greet Liu Bei who suddenly arrived, and at the same time complained about Liu Bei.
"Didn't I hear that Ziyu went to Yuan Benchu and caused a big mess, so I brought Zichuan and Xiaozhi over to see if there was anything that needed help." Liu Bei laughed. He pushed Fazheng out, and at the same time actively ignored Xu Shu's complaints against him.
"Oh, Yuan Zhi, let me come over to see if you have any merit here, so that I can be reinstated to my post as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't even dare to go home." Fazheng said to Xu Shu with a somewhat depressed look. .
"Xiaozhi, what's going on with you?" Xu Shu was a little surprised when he saw Fazheng's sluggish expression. Even if he was kicked out of the official position, he wouldn't be like this.
"Hey, if it were normal, that would be fine. I could get my official position back after being stripped of it, but this time is very unfriendly to me." Fazheng sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile.
Xu Shu couldn't help but look at Chen Xi behind Liu Bei. This kind of gossip was not suitable for Liu Bei to talk about. Fazheng didn't want to say it himself, so he had to let Chen Xi, who was very gossipy, say it.
"His fiancée came from Fufeng to find him." Chen Xi said to Xu Shu with a thick smile.
After landing from Donglai, Liu Bei planned to go to Qi State to see how Fazheng was doing before. If he did well, Liu Bei would not be able to discuss with Chen Xi and grant Fazheng the official position of fake Qi State Prime Minister.
It just so happened that Fa Yan returned to his residence in Linzi for something, so Fazheng had to go home to visit his old father after returning to Linzi. Then Liu Bei and Chen Xi also planned to visit Fa Yan and fight against Fazheng. After taking Fa Yan over, they hadn't seen this great scholar yet, so they planned to pay him a visit.
As a result, guess what? The reason why Fa Yan wanted to return to Linzi from Fenggao was because Jiang Ying came to Linzi from Fufeng.
After seeing Jiang Ying in his mansion, Fazheng just stayed there, not knowing what to do.
Seeing his son's stunned look, Fa Yan gave Fazheng a walking stick, and then took Liu Bei and Chen Xi to the main hall to drink tea and chat.
Then Fa Yan learned from Liu Bei and Chen Xi about the stupid things that Fa Zheng had done in Jiangdong, and he wanted to hit Fazheng with a cane on the spot.
However, because Jiang Ying was also there, Fa Yan suppressed his anger and planned to find a place alone to teach Fa Zheng a lesson.
Then Fazheng's screams spread throughout the entire Fa's Mansion, and then Wang Yi found Liu Bei and Chen Xi who were watching the show to inquire about the situation. Then Jiang Ying knew the stupid thing Fazheng had done.
Xu Shu didn't know where to complain for a while. After holding it in for a while, he said: "So you came to me just to get some credit, so that the lord has a reason to grant you the fake Prime Minister of Qi?"
"Well, you are right. I came here to gain merit, so that the lord has a reason to grant me the fake Prime Minister of Qi." Fazheng sighed and reread Xu Shu's question.
"Ah this..." Xu Shu didn't know what to say. For Fazheng, who was usually stubborn, to say such words, it seemed that he was hit hard this time.
"Ahem, um, Yuan Zhi, what is Ziyu's situation in Jizhou now?" Liu Bei stepped forward and asked Xu Shu, it is better not to discuss the topic of Fa Zheng in front of him.
Xu Shu was silent for a moment. In fact, he wanted to talk more about related matters in front of Fa Zheng. After all, it was rare for Fa Zheng to not refute. If we don’t hurry up, point out I'm not sure when Fa Zheng will be restored.
However, since Liu Bei has spoken, let’s let Fazheng go this time. There will be plenty of time in the future. Anyway, the dark history is already in hand. Let’s find another time to talk to Fazheng alone. .
"Ju Yi and Tian Feng have led their troops back to Yecheng. Ziyu is now leading a million Black Mountain troops across Jizhou. It is estimated that they will reach Licheng in another seven or eight days." Xu Shu told Liu Bei He briefly talked about what he knew. As for the specific details, he would have to wait until Yang Ji came back.
"The combination of Ju Yi and Tian Feng was repelled?" Chen Xi quickly squeezed to Liu Bei's side and said a little surprised. He had thought that Yang Ji's trip would be strongly blocked by Jizhou, but this is the result?
"Could it be that Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Warriors are hidden in the Montenegrin Army?" Chen Xi boldly guessed that besides the Yellow Turban Warriors, Chen Xi didn't know how the Montenegrin Army could block the attack of the dead warriors first.
As we all know, when Zhang Jiao was still alive, although the quality of the Yellow Turban Army was rubbish, their will was extremely bright.
However, after Zhang Jiao died, the will of the Yellow Turban Army was the same. Otherwise, Chen Xi would not have used it as a resource point when he attacked Qingzhou.
Chen Xi admitted that there would indeed be some strong-willed people left in the Yellow Turban Army, just like those Yellow Turban Qushuai. However, it is definitely not much, and it may not even be enough for Yang Ji to form half an army.
Chen Xi was doing the job of selecting elite soldiers from the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. How could he not know the situation of the Yellow Turbans?
It is precisely because of this knowledge that the Black Mountain Army thinks that this journey will be difficult, even if Yang Ji is there to organize elites to clear the way.
As we all know, in addition to being rubbish in quality, the Yellow Turban Army also suffered from poor willpower after Zhang Jiao died, and also suffered from extremely low organizational power.
Yang Ji can indeed use various means to supplement part of the Yellow Turban Army's organizational strength, but in that kind of terrain, the Black Mountain Army, which is limited in combat strength, does not even have a super elite army that can stop it. Can you survive the attack of the dead soldiers first?
So after hearing that Yang Ji led the Black Mountain Army to repel Ju Yi and even forced him back to Yecheng, Chen Xi subconsciously believed that there was a legion in the Black Mountain Army that could compete with the first to die, except for the Yellow Turban Warriors. Besides, Chen Xi didn't do what he wanted.
"It's not a Yellow Turban warrior. Ziyu said that he activated the system left by Zhang Jue, so he was able to fight so smoothly." Xu Shu shook his head and said.
