The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277 The decision of the Guanzhong court

As far as the aristocratic families on the Jiangdong side are concerned, the Gu family is a natural ally with Shi Hui because of Cai Yong's relationship.In fact, if you really want to count it down, the four major families in Jiangdong that are often said by later generations, after deducting the Lu family, the other three families are nothing more than the existence of local tyrants.

"It's surprising... I thought that the rich people in Jiangdong would react more strongly..." Shi Hui felt a little unacceptable after listening to Fang Xuanling's report.

It has been more than a month to occupy the entire territory of Jiangnan, or it took them more than a month to deal with the mess in Danyang County.During the period, I gave some hints to the wealthy families of the three counties, but in the end they were able to donate a lot of money and food, and there was no perfunctory meaning at all.This made Shi Hui somewhat unacceptable.

I remember that in history, when Sun Ce first occupied the land of the three counties, these wealthy families often stumbling him.Xu Gong even planned a plan to lure Cao Cao to the south because of this, but the plan was leaked and killed, which led to the assassination of Sun Ce by his disciples.

"My lord, why did you say that?" Fang Xuanling thought it was normal, "You are the great general of Han Dynasty, the governor of Yangzhou. You have 20 elite soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Unless you are tired of life, the Jiangdong area Region, who dares to be your enemy?"

When Fang Xuanling said that, Shi Hui immediately understood, thinking that when Sun Ce occupied this place, there were only three to five thousand soldiers under his command, which might not have as many private soldiers as the four major families.It has no status in itself, so it's strange to be convincing.

Besides, it's not that Shi Hui can't do without them. Originally, there were four counties in Jingnan and Jiaozhou as their backing.If you really want to fight against these powerful families in Jiangdong, you don’t need to do anything else, you just need to issue an order. In the future, the imperial examinations will not accept the children of these wealthy families for reference, and at the same time, they will not allow the children of these wealthy families to join the army. It only takes more than 20 years, or they will be forced to death. , or force against them.

Of course, if they rebel, the result will be even worse, and the Yi tribe is just the beginning.

"Forget it, how are other things going?" Shi Hui asked.

"The 100 million refugees recruited by the lord have already begun to resettle in the counties of Danyang County. The food provided by the Hao family is more than enough to support the delivery of the food from Jiaozhou. In addition, Generals Cen and General Nan have begun to clean up the local Hao family. Shuai and Shanyue, but not much food was seized, most of it was used as military rations. Other money has been brought back. As far as the current seizure is concerned, it is entirely possible to take the opportunity to buy a batch of food in Xuzhou, but the war there is not over yet, I am afraid The price of food will not be low. What the Central Plains lacks most now is food!" Fang Xuanling reported on various situations.

"Oh, by the way, Cao Cao hasn't conquered Xuzhou yet?" Shi Hui asked curiously after hearing about it.

"It is said that Yuan Pingyuan ordered Liu Bei to go south to rescue. He had fought with Cao Cao's army earlier. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defeated Cao Cao's generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Dian Wei and Xu Chu one after another before the battle. Cao Cao's army was entrenched in Pei County, but dare not easily enter, the two sides are at a stalemate there." Fang Xuanling replied.

That's right, Lu Bu is now in the imperial court, and has never left at all. Naturally, there is no such thing as entering Yanzhou, and then serving as the prefect of Chenliu on the recommendation of Chen Gong, and then almost occupying Cao Cao's territory.

It's just that Cao Cao continued to procrastinate, and it was estimated that it would be thankless, and it was only a matter of time before he retreated.On the contrary, the attack on Xuzhou this time may have fulfilled Liu Bei.If it is not expected, this guy may still be appointed as Xuzhou Mu.

"The Central Plains is really lively. Originally, Yuan Shu was not chaotic enough, and now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are fighting." Shi Hui said jokingly, "Let me guess, is there a lot of people who are going to seek refuge in the south? ?”

"This has been the case for the past two years." Fang Xuanling said helplessly, and he planned to report it later.

"This was expected. After all, since last year, many people went south to seek refuge in Jingzhou. After a year, there are more than 20, right? How did the original prefects of the three Jiangdong counties deal with it? Shi Hui shrugged his shoulders. The southward movement of the refugees was in his expectation.

"Liu Yao was busy fighting with Yuan Shu at that time, so naturally he couldn't accept these refugees. In the end, he could only send them to the other two counties, even Yuzhang County. Some of them really couldn't survive, so they turned into bandits. What we are facing is this group of guys, and the incident of them falling into the grass is too short, so even if we wipe them out, there is no profit at all." Fang Xuanling replied.

After a pause, he continued: "Wu County has taken in at least 50 people in the past two years, Kuaiji County has also taken in 20 people, Yuzhang County has also managed to take in 3 people, and the rest have come to Changsha On the county side. During the migration, about [-] people died.”

"This is really a pity..." Shi Hui shook his head.

At the same time, the Chang'an court far away in Guanzhong is currently discussing the battle situation in Bingzhou.Last year, troops were sent to attack Bingzhou, but the result was thankless.Seeing this, even the Southern Huns have recently begun to move around. Judging from the situation, it seems that they are beginning to move closer to the Jizhou court.

Bingzhou didn't produce much. Even if it was defeated, it would be sandwiched between the Southern Huns, the Black Mountain Army and the Xianbei, and a large number of troops would need to be deployed to guard it.Many people in the DPRK and China have proposed that the attack on Bingzhou should be abandoned, otherwise there will be financial problems again this year.

"Your Majesty!" Although Dong Cheng wanted to continue to follow Liu Xie's ideas, he had no choice but to stand up now, "Last year in the autumn battle, our army was fully prepared to deal with less than [-] thieves in Bingzhou with [-] elite troops. However, after this battle, although Bingzhou was not pleased, our military supplies were once again in crisis. In the current situation, it is meaningless to continue to attack Bingzhou. May Your Majesty think twice!"

"Before you said that our army has [-] elites, and there are powerful generals like Ma Teng, Sun Ce, and Li Jue. It is just a piece of cake to take down Bingzhou. Why is there such a stalemate now?" Liu Xie Right now I just want to freak out.

Dong Cheng was speechless when he heard the words, he couldn't say, Ma Teng, Li Jue and the others are of course capable, just to prevent them from becoming the second Dong Zhuo, they arranged many children from aristocratic families to join the army, but this result caused a lot of noise in the army , In the end, the order was chaotic, coupled with the fact that the children of the family looked down on Li Jue and others, and Li Jue and others looked down on the children of the family, which led to several tactical and strategic mistakes, and the final result was such a strange result.

What made them even more embarrassed was that they asked Liu Zhang for money and food, but the latter did not provide more food due to the problem of insufficient harvest, which made them very passive.In particular, they have returned Hanzhong, and as a result, they have no grain production ground at all, which can provide them with a large amount of military rations.

All of this was within Li Shimin's expectations, and it was precisely because of this that these elders felt even more embarrassed.Therefore, he almost risked everything and kept suppressing Li Shimin so that he could not stand up.

If he is allowed to continue to hold greater real power, then all these old bones will be in bad luck.But now, they have to pay attention to some of Li Shimin's opinions.

The army is the biggest bottom line, but in terms of civil affairs, reforms have to be carried out, and strategic goals have to be revised.For example, attack Yizhou again!Now their greatest enemy is the Shi Hui who has occupied the entire Jiangnan!
"Your Majesty, Shangdang and Hanoi have been recovered. This is the best result." Seeing this, Zhu Jun could only stand up.

After a pause, he continued: "Although Bingzhou is in a stalemate, it also makes the situation in the north of Taiyuan corrupt. Yuan Shao can't help us. There is no need to worry about this part, Yuan Shao can drag himself to death.

This war also has to make us reflect that food is the key. Without food, money can't fill our stomachs at all.The subordinates received the news that the Shi Hui was already in the south of the Yangtze River, and the army had expanded to 20 soldiers, [-] auxiliary soldiers, and [-] sailors.

His confidence lies in Jiaozhou, which is producing more and more grain, and the four counties in Jingnan.In this world, the battle between the two armies is not so much a battle between frontline soldiers and generals, but a contest between the two forces.

The land in Guanzhong has been developed for too long, and the land is almost exhausted, and the grain production has been insufficient.Now that Liu Yizhou refuses to continue to support our grain and grass, we have fallen into a passive position.Only with the advantages of Bashu in the pre-Qin period, did it have the background to fight against the heroes of the Kanto.Yizhou must be in the hands of the imperial court!This is the top priority! "

"What General Zhu said is true!" Wang Yun also had to stand up, "Now the top priority is not only to solve the food and grass problem of the imperial court, but also to be careful of a powerful enemy, that is the Shi Hui who has already dominated the south of the Yangtze River!
It has only been three or four years since he started his business, but he has grown to this level, which is really unbelievable.Especially according to the report of Liu Yao, the prefect of Danyang, the [-] troops under his command are all real elites, and it usually takes three to five years to fail to train them.

Yuan Shu can't count on it at all, now we can only hope that Shi Hui will not go north easily, otherwise, with his [-] elite soldiers, not to mention anything else, it will not be a problem to completely defeat Jingzhou and Yangzhou.Lu Bu and Sun Ce can't hold on for long, especially our money and grain, which is already in danger.I think that now we should stabilize the badge first, and then make plans! "

"Then tell me, how to stabilize the badge?" Liu Xie has also grown a little over the past year, his three views have begun to improve, and he has some insights into the faces of the officials.People always flatter themselves in front of others, but they always put their own interests first.

Looking at the imperial court, it seems that only Zhu Jun and Ma Teng are the only ones who can be trusted.This is also the main reason why he was able to quickly stabilize his emotions and then accept Zhu Jun's suggestion.

"On the one hand, let Lu Bu and Sun Ce lead the army to attack, and on the other hand, send envoys to discuss with Shi Hui. The imperial court designated him as Yangzhou Shepherd, and also took charge of the four counties in Jingnan. As a price, let him return the troops to Xiakou to Xiling. Let him and Yuan Shu work hard to earn us a year to two years of development time! The population in the south of the Yangtze River is not large, but there are many mountains and mountains, which will definitely slow down the pace of Shihui. The imperial court only needs two years of development, With the accumulation of elite troops and enough money and food, it is no easy feat to deal with the badges!" Wang Yun looked at Zhu Jun, who nodded before he came forward to report.

"In addition, I also received a piece of news!" Dong Cheng also came forward to express his presence, "I heard that Cao Cao issued a recruitment order in Yanzhou, which is more excessive than the examination system of the badge. Many talented but unvirtuous people are flooding Yanzhou. In the officialdom, many aristocratic families complained. But Cao Cao could not wake up, and instead murdered famous people, which has already aroused the indignation of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou. Now the aristocratic families there have secretly contacted the ministers. We only need to send people to them. Will come forward to support us, at least Chenliu County will return to the imperial court, and even other counties are possible!"

It may not be an option to take Yanzhou first, and then go north.Liu Xie thought about it for a while, and decided that it was not cost-effective to continue fighting to merge the state. After careful consideration, he finally decided to agree with the proposal of the officials.

So the next day, the envoy began to rush towards Jingzhou with the imperial court's order.The Lü Bu army who received the order first, under Li Shimin's suggestion, divided his troops into two groups and launched an attack on Jiangling and Muhuali respectively.

　Upgrading to LV4 is about to happen, but it also means that the total conquest has entered the countdown.

　　To be honest, if one million elite soldiers and millions of auxiliary soldiers exploded, and the troops were divided into four or five groups to attack, who could resist the current situation?It can't be said that it was really flattened in the end.
