The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 350 The Clan's Great Defeat, Wei Huojie Reports

Chengming Palace.

Liu Bian on the throne said to Liu Hao standing beside him, "How is the battle in Jizhou going?"

Liu Hao respectfully handed the battle report to Liu Bian, and took out a memorial from his sleeve, waiting for Liu Bian to read the battle report and present it to him.

Seeing the contents of the battle report, Liu Bian was very satisfied: "Oh? Du Yu has eliminated the main force of Yuan Thief?"

"Father, Du Yu's army has already gone straight to Zhuojun, trying to eliminate Yuan thief in the first battle. I have transferred Donglai's navy to fortify the Bohai Sea to prevent Yuan thief from escaping from the sea." Liu Hao said.

His arrangement was very reasonable. Liu Bian said with appreciation: "Not bad. Is it your idea or the ministers' idea?"

"It's my son's idea. I've discussed it with the adults, and they all agree." After speaking, he handed over his memorial.

"This memorial of yours is very constructive, but it's not enough to do this alone. They all have a sense of belonging and honor to the family. Don't underestimate this. If you use it well, you can make them feel safe. born."

It has to be said that the proposals put forward by Liu Hao and the ministers to divide the families and elites are still very constructive, but they still don't look far enough.These elites all take it as their duty to glorify their families, and have been indoctrinated with the idea of ​​being a family from an early age.

As long as you start from this point, you can let them kill each other.What if, on the basis of Liu Hao's proposal, there is another imperial court's personal award, how about the ranking of the aristocratic family?

Of course, this has to be done secretly, and it can't really be put on the bright side. That will make them alert, and in this way, most of the aristocratic families who are not smart enough will fall into it.

Fundraising for infrastructure and public-private joint ventures for workshops are opportunities given to them by him. If he can recognize his position and correct his mentality, Liu Bian doesn't mind letting them continue to exist.They can also be used to strengthen the imperial court's control over the local area, provided that they stand on their side.

Now they still want to rule the world with the imperial court, but they disagree, so they want to replace themselves.Was it when Liu Bian couldn't carry a knife anymore?The severed heads of aristocratic families are countless, but they still don't have a long memory.

"Father, my son, go back and think about it, and write it as a memorial for you." Liu Hao couldn't think of a way for a while, so he wanted to go back and think about it carefully.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Don't they all think they are the first-class families in the world? Just give them the first place, find a few family members who are not well-known, and give them some titles, so that those who are really powerful can't sit still." live.

As long as they start attacking each other, we have a chance.Not every house has smart people. "

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Liu Hao's eyes lit up, it was a really good idea.

The main reason why the coalition forces of these aristocratic families could not become popular is because they have existed for too long, have common interests, and have feuds that cannot be abandoned.

The Li family and the Wang family in Qingzhou are fighting fiercely, otherwise the situation in Qingzhou will be even more unfavorable to the imperial court.Qingzhou's new army went south to Guangdong to suppress the rebellion, rested there, and had not returned to Qingzhou. Only Qingzhou's garrison army and the rebels of the aristocratic family were fighting.

"Father, I understand." Liu Hao said with a smile.

"Let's go back and ask Liu Ji and Yu Qian to come in."

"Yes."

Liu Ji and Yu Qianying waited in the next room for a long time. They were very anxious. What Yu Qian was worried about was that the money from the household department could only be handled by himself, and most of the time he couldn't reach the household department.Now that the rebellions in Jizhou and Qingzhou have reached a large scale, the household department is a little tight.

What Liu Ji is worried about is that the new army of the Han Dynasty has a total of less than 20 people.Although well-equipped, they have not experienced the baptism of war, and suffered a lot from the unruly wild ways of the rebels.

Jizhou almost cut off its retreat because the new army went to Zhuojun to suppress the rebellion.If their back route is cut off, their supplies cannot keep up, and they are surrounded by rebel troops, they may be in a desperate situation.

Once the new army is wiped out by the established system, the blow to the majesty of the court will be immeasurable.He wanted to draw back the troops from Tianzhu and Persia, let the new army go to the front, and temporarily stop the expansion plan.

The two entered the main hall and bowed to Liu Bian. Liu Bian waved his hand: "Excuse me." Knowing that the two of them must have encountered difficulties: "Why are the two lovers so anxious to find me?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance is in short supply. The battles in Qingzhou and Jizhou cost a lot, and there is no way to replenish them on the spot. I hope that the scale of the war will not be expanded until the tribute from Weiguo and Great Han Britain arrives." Yu Qian said with a sad face. .

Liu Ji looked at Yu Qian: "What Master Yu said is true, but the new army has not been formed yet, and it is still unable to display its true strength. Du Yu's army entered Jizhou, and the battle in Jizhou should be over in a few days.

However, the quality of the local garrison is too poor, and it is necessary to mobilize the front-line soldiers to help, let the new army go up, and suspend the expansion plan. "

Listening to what the two said, Liu Bian fell into deep thought.

After half a year of rest and reorganization, the troops on the front line have cleared out many people who are no longer suitable for serving in the army.The scale has been greatly reduced, and the new army cannot replace them, it can only mix with them.

With 20 new troops alone, there is too little territory that can be stationed.If the domestic young and strong are recruited to join the army, it will have a very huge impact on the subsequent industrial reform.

The aristocratic families continue to cause chaos, but they cannot be left alone.It takes a long time to cultivate the spirit of the people beyond the control of the aristocratic family.

Now it is really in a dilemma. Once the big Han frontier army retreats and a large amount of land is taken back by foreign races, the big Han will face countless enemies.After all, they are an enslaved ethnic group, and revenge against the big man will cause the big man to coexist with internal and external troubles.

Liu Bian said with a smile: "The frontier army can't be moved, and there are no recruits in the country. I hope Du Yu can grow up soon. His new army and the troops brought from the Huns total no less than 20. Although the rebels in Jizhou claim to be [-] , Not many can fight.

Tell Du Yu that the battle cannot be ended within a month, so Wei Qing will send Wei Ping and Wei Xing to lead [-] elite troops back to aid, and then send Chang'an's new weapons and equipment to supply them. "

After a little thought, Liu Ji and Yu Qian understood Liu Bian's meaning. Du Yu was a fierce man with a high level of military command and a high spirit. He would feel very ashamed when he knew that he was going to call the frontier army back for help.

Yu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the letters from Weiguo and Dahan Britain have arrived, and I have sorted them out."

"Oh? Read it and let the prince listen to it."

Yu Qian took out the brochure and read: "The horse transport brigade of the King of Wei has already set out on the road. There are a full 20 pack horses and tens of thousands of war horses. The grain transport team of the King of England will bring tens of millions of stones of grain, and there will be a large number of horses. The minted copper ore and iron ore and other metals have already set off by sea and will land in various coastal areas in a short time."
