God-level Great Hunjun System

Therefore, Wang Meng thought over and over again, and finally proposed a relatively balanced strategy to reduce the vassal. Generally speaking: the implementation must be firm, but the tone must be soft.

After all, these feudal towns were people who made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty at the beginning of their establishment. Even today, the feudal towns on the border shoulder the heavy burden of defending against foreign enemies and barbarians, and some chiefs of the feudal towns still maintain awe of the imperial court. Heart.Therefore, these people must not be beaten to death with a stick, and must be tactfully and softly appeased in posture.

In view of this, Wang Meng's edict to reduce the feudal clan read out in the court hall is also very skillful:

"Thinking back in the past, when Emperor Taiwu established the country, all the vassal kings and military towns made great contributions. Over the years, they have worked hard to guard the rivers and mountains for our Great Wei. The credits are unrivaled. I can't count them in detail. But today, the river is clear and the sea is clean, and all industries are prosperous. I really can't bear to see all my lovers still take on this great responsibility, suffer from their hard work, devote themselves to it..."

"...Therefore, I issued this edict, determined to remove all the feudal vassals and towns of the Great Wei Dynasty, and give you the leisure and comfort of your loved ones. All the feudal vassal towns will be abolished, and the leaders will be promoted to nobles, and they will treat each other with generous salary. I will also hold a banquet in the capital. , to clean up the dust for everyone..."

The meaning of this imperial decree can be summed up as follows: the emperor knows your contributions and sympathizes with your hard work, so he ordered the dismantling of the feudal towns to give you a leisure time. You have no worries about food and clothing for half your life, so just submit to it obediently!

Although the tone of the imperial decree was very gentle, Yan Hao's plan to cut down the feudal vassals formulated in the court was very harsh, and he was fully prepared to deal with the consequences of the "decree to cut down the vassals".

One is that all parts of the country will be put on alert in complete secrecy. Chen Lei will order the Privy Council to deploy the local troops throughout the Great Wei to be on high alert, to investigate all suspicious persons, expand the scope of investigation, and pay attention to every move of the feudal town. What a change, the local defenders will not be caught off guard!

The second is that the Military Aircraft Department should also be highly mobilized, analyzing the nationwide reports on the withdrawal of feudal vassals every day, and sending them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation for Yan Hao's review on a regular basis.The Military Aircraft Department must be ready to dispatch the Central Army to help the local area at any time.

The third is that the imperial court unified the caliber and issued a death order. This time, the withdrawal of the vassal will be carried out to the end, and it will never be changed because of anyone's personal will, or the vassal town's pleading, shamelessness, etc. behavior.

These measures have summed up the experience and lessons of the failure of the withdrawal of the domain in the past few dynasties. If they can be implemented, it will be very helpful to the withdrawal of the domain.

But this time Yan Hao was relieved that almost no courtiers raised objections, but they were united and determined to get this matter done.This shows that the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain is also expected by everyone. Yan Hao's decision to make such a resolute decision in the third year of his ascension to the throne fully demonstrates his wisdom and prowess, and also ushered in a round of applause!

Chapter 155

Of course, the applause is all applause. In the actual process of reducing the vassal, the resistance encountered is still far beyond the previous imagination.

The good thing is that some feudal towns did withdraw their feudal vassals voluntarily after receiving the order to cut them from the imperial court!

Some of these feudal towns are relatively weak and have almost no ability to contend with the imperial court. They respond and cooperate so actively because they know that they are different from those big feudal towns. Even if they resist, there is no point. It is better to take the initiative A little to leave a good impression on the court.

For this group of people, Yan Hao's attitude is also very clear, that is to reward!Great reward!It not only shows the mighty emperor's grace, but also sets an example for other feudal towns.

Some of the people who took the initiative to withdraw the domain were more hesitant or procrastinated, and the court adopted a proactive strategy for this part of the people.

Aren't you procrastinating, then we will send someone to provide door-to-door service to help you in one step and solve the aftermath as quickly as possible.

What?Want to solve the problem of silver and resettlement for soldiers returning home?It doesn't matter, our imperial court gives money and arranges work, and it's easy to get everything included in the military establishment.

What?The family business is too big to move?The imperial court immediately sent a large number of laborers and soldiers to help you move and demolish houses.

All in all, any excuse for delay does not become an excuse, and every effort is made to ask you to fulfill the order to withdraw the domain as soon as possible.Under the imperial court's fierce attack strategy, it is true that a group of feudal towns that originally agreed verbally but acted slowly have completed the withdrawal of their feudal vassals.

But in general, there are still a small number of feudal towns that accept the withdrawal of the feudal clan. Most of the feudal towns have united to do one thing, which has brought a heavy blow to the court-that is, to declare independence at the same time!

The words used by these vassals are very skillful, using the word self-reliance to conceal the fact that they rebelled.What he said to the outside world is that after the feudal town becomes self-reliant, it does not need to accept annual rewards from the court, and the food problem is solved by itself, and the finances are also taken care of by itself. Rebellious!

The reason why this kind of behavior hurts a lot is that this time, in the face of the fierce offensive of withdrawing the vassals, the major vassals and towns that originally fought independently chose a unified caliber, with a consistent attitude, and declared self-reliance at the same time node, which made the court Some were caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.

If all these feudal towns completely rebelled and raised their troops together to go to the capital to change the emperor, this approach did not give the imperial court any choice. They could only send troops to fight against it. At worst, it would be a protracted war.

But the current situation is that they are self-reliant, they just don’t want to bully you, they have no interest in expanding their territory and opposing the emperor, the most hope is that the court will not bother them, the two have nothing to do, and eventually form a split.

If the court wants to stop it, it must take the initiative to attack, which is different from a passive backhand.Taking the initiative to attack means that the court needs to be prepared to fight with multiple feudal towns on more than a dozen fronts at the same time.This is a test for Wei's military mobilization, general selection, logistics and other work.

But Yan Hao didn't hesitate at all after understanding the situation, and clearly put forward his idea: fight, fight resolutely!Dawei will never be allowed to split in any form!

Chapter 156 Tension

Based on Yan Hao's resolute attitude, the Privy Council also resolutely implemented Yan Hao's ideas, and under Yan Hao's instruction, the Military Aircraft Department established a wartime leading group for cutting feudal vassals to provide strategic advice to the Privy Council's military command.The leader of the group is Jiang Ziya, and although Wang Meng does not belong to the military, he also joined in the form of foreign participation.

Soon, Su Hong also returned to the capital from Shanhaiguan.Su Hong was able to return to Beijing, firstly because the situation in northern Xinjiang tended to stabilize after the new year, and secondly because the half-year time limit required for the mission "Attack on Su Hong" has passed, and now the mission has entered the third stage.

Requirements for the third stage of the "Attack on Su Hong" mission: Su Hong needs to accumulate 1 military merit points to achieve the mission goal of this stage.Leading troops to kill or capture an enemy soldier is regarded as 207 point of military merit.Current cumulative military merit: 50000/[-]

[-] points of military merit is neither too much nor too little, and Su Hong cannot be a staff member behind the scenes, he must personally lead the army.Based on this consideration, Yan Hao directly put Su Hong at the forefront of conquering independent feudal towns, only in this way can he accumulate military merit as quickly as possible.Li Jing, Li Cunxu and Zhao Yun were also sent to the front line as generals!

Normally, as the leader of the imperial guards, Zhao Yun should not have left the capital, but the main problem facing this campaign against the feudal towns is that there is no shortage of generals or soldiers!Since the feudal towns are scattered all over the country, many generals need to go to different battlefields to command, so even though Yan Hao already has many generals under his command, it is still difficult to deploy.

On the contrary, in terms of the source of troops, after last year's military system reform, the local military power has basically been firmly controlled by the imperial court, the combat effectiveness of the army has also been greatly improved, and the government soldier system has basically taken shape, so sending generals can directly dispatch local troops to fight against the vassals. There is no need to use the Central Army.

Yan Hao, who had learned the lessons of the last northwest rebellion, didn't even mobilize a single soldier of the Central Army this time!Neither Zhao Yun's 20 Imperial Guards nor Li Cunxu's [-] Silver Gun Efficiency Guards, Li Jing's [-] Black Armored Dragon Riders, or even the [-] Huben Army were all mobilized.

In this way, Yan Hao, who sits in the capital, can be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if the capital is really attacked by an army, with 30 troops, with Jiang Ziya and Wang Meng, Yan Hao can rest easy!

The current situation of the imperial court's crusade against feudal towns is roughly like this:

On the northern line, Chi Taiping, the Jiedu envoy of Yanyun Road, and Liang Qiuhao, the envoy of Yunzhou Jiedu of Taihang Road, were conquered.Both of these are hard bones.Chitaiping has been operating in Pingyuan County for many years. The city of Pingyuan has a large area of ​​high land, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has accumulated a large number of defensive equipment in the city. It is said that when the Huns invaded south, they chose to skip the plain and continue southward because it was difficult to capture the plain. Its defense is in place.

As for Yunzhou Jiedu envoy Liang Qiuhao, he is even more famous throughout the northern territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he is one of the two heroes named after Qi Yun.Before Yan Hao's black-armored dragonriders were trained, Liang Qiuhao had the most elite cavalry regiment in the entire Wei Dynasty under his command. It was through this that he had been entangled with Rouran for many years and had mutual scruples.Among them, the [-] "Yunzhou Lion Riders", who are famous all over the world, roar like a group of lions when they charge, which makes the people of Rouran frightened.

It can even be said that part of the reason why Yan Hao chose to keep the Central Army on hold this time was because he was afraid of the surprise attack of Liang Qiuhao's army.

In view of the severe situation in northern Xinjiang, Yan Hao sent his most trusted general, Li Jing, who was also best at using cavalry, to crusade against the two towns of Pingyuan and Yunzhou!Its military strength is a total of 20 local troops drawn from Fengxiang Road, Taihang Road, Yanyun Road and Bohai Road, and another [-] government soldiers are used as a reserve source of troops.

In order to ensure the victory of the crusade, Jiang Ziya also specially ordered Li Jing to call the Longwu Army from Shanhaiguan to assist him in the battle under special circumstances.

Those on the western front were Zuo Peng, the envoy of Nanping Jiedu of Jiannan Road, and Mo Changmao, king of Shu.Zuo Peng's talents were mediocre, and he didn't have any powerful generals or advisers under him. It was only because the road to Shu was difficult that he dared to resist the imperial court's orders by virtue of his geographical location.

But Mo Changmao, the king of Shu, is not an easy person. You must know that in the history of the Great Wei, there were very few kings with different surnames.Mo Changmao was awarded this honor precisely because of his illustrious military exploits in the battle against Tubo. At that time, he blocked the 5000 Tubo army with 20 troops, and it became a good story for a while.

After careful consideration, Yan Hao decided to choose Zhao Yun as the general to conquer the two towns.This is mainly because Zhao Yun, as a famous general in Sichuan, is familiar with the terrain in Central Sichuan and has rich experience in fighting in mountains and forests. He is the best candidate for the main general on the western front.Yan Hao granted Zhao Yun the dispatch of 15 local troops and [-] prefectural soldiers from Baling Road, Jiannan Road, Longyou Road, and Shannan West Road.

Jiang Ziya's strategy for Zhao Yun was to first capture Zuo Peng with all his strength as quickly as possible, so that Mo Changmao would have no chance to join forces with Zuo Peng.And then slowly plan for Mo Changmao, even if he can't take it for a while, it doesn't matter, as long as the other feudal towns are settled, and then attack him with all the power of the court, even if he is as strong as the sky, it is impossible to defend him.

On the eastern front are Cai Yang, the envoy of Yuezhou Jiedu of Minyue Road, Rong Heng of Runzhou Jiedu of Jiangning Road, and Yan Hao's two uncles, Yiyang King Yan Mu and Shouchun King Yan Shengrong of Huaiyang Road.The strength of these major feudal towns is much weaker than that of the aforementioned ones, but the difficulty lies in their scattered distribution, and it takes a lot of effort to defeat each one.

This item was relatively easy, and Yan Hao handed it over to Su Hong.Su Hong mobilized a total of 25 troops from Bohai, Huaiyang, Jiangning, Shannandong, and Minyue, and divided them into four groups to deal with the four feudal towns. He did not give any of them a chance to breathe, and hoped that the four could be taken away together!

Finally, on the southern front, there are Qinghua Jiedu Envoy Pu Jia of Baling Road, Nanhai Jiedu Envoy Zhu Anguo and Lianshan Jiedu Envoy Huo Ming of Lingnan East and West Roads.The establishment of these big feudal towns was originally used to deal with the Shanyue ethnic groups walking in the mountains and forests in the south of the Great Wei Dynasty. At one time, their strength was in the leading position among the great Wei feudal towns.

However, everyone of the Shanyue tribe is strong, good at hiding and fighting bravely. Although the number is not as large as that of the sergeants of the feudal town, they have repeatedly injured the feudal town army through sneak attacks and ambushes, and their own strength has continued to grow.For several generations, Shanyue, which was originally weak, has a tendency to catch up from behind, while several major feudal towns have continued to decline.

But after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In order to show his importance to the three towns on the southern line, Yan Hao also dispatched super general Li Cunxu to mobilize 20 troops from Lingnan and Baling for his use.In addition, when Jiang Ziya deployed his combat strategy, he paid special attention to preventing Shanyue from making a sudden attack, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

On the whole, a total of 80 troops were mobilized for this crusade against the four routes of feudal towns, and more than 30 reserves were used, and almost all the generals under their command were dispatched.In order to meet the expenditure and food supply of such a huge army mobilization, the corresponding Sinonong Mansion, the Privy Council, and the Military Aircraft Office are also fully operational, so as to ensure that the soldiers who go on the expedition will have peace of mind.

All in all, the entire Wei Dynasty has entered a state of high tension!

Chapter 157 Food Crisis

After the launch of the military campaign against the major feudal towns, the good situation is that due to the adequate preparation and careful deployment, the four fronts are in a state of full-scale offensive, and there is no counterattack by the feudal towns along the way.This is very meaningful for the stability of the national situation.

This is also one of the important reasons why Yan Hao is determined to conquer the feudal towns. As the saying goes, wait for attack, as long as he takes the initiative to attack, he will not be passively harassed by the independent feudal towns or even be embattled on all sides.

However, the specific situation of each of the four roads is very different.

The one who progressed the most smoothly was Su Hong on the Eastern Front. He had been taught by Li Jing and had gone through two stages of missions. Su Lie is gone.
