"Now we need to raise food more." 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 man who was killed after all. As long as he refuses to surrender, his mind will be very clear. He is very determined now..."
When Liu Cong was a boy, he studied literature and martial arts, and was quite successful. He could shoot a bow, ride a powerful horse, had good martial arts skills, was also good at calligraphy, was also good at music, and could talk about music theory with Sima Chi.
After the crown ceremony, he traveled to Luoyang, broadened his knowledge and made friends with many people.
Later, he served as the chief secretary of Xingxing Prefecture, participated in the secret affairs of a county, became familiar with the operation of the government, and had a thorough understanding of the drafting, uploading and dissemination of official documents.
Later, he served as the right commander of the Xiongnu and managed the affairs of the Hu people.
Later, he served as lieutenant of Qi State and began to manage the army.
Then he went to the Sima Ying shogunate to gain experience, and he held both military and civilian positions.
After Liu Yuan raised his army, 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 a stronger scholar quality.
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 look at what time this is? These are troubled times.
Isn’t it nonsense that a scholar is allowed to be the emperor in troubled times? When people’s hearts grow weary, 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 in foreign wars.
This also reminded Shao Xun that if he did not live long enough to straighten out various affairs, then the position of heir should not be handed over to a heir without military capabilities, because the dynasty he was trying to establish was not a wealthy family.
In this world, stability is not enough.
But if you need an aristocratic family to help you stabilize the dynasty, you must be like Guang and get along with them. To a certain extent, this is also the greatest instability.
During the changes in the Southern, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen Five dynasties, weren't all the aristocratic 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 would be a bit passive to continue fighting like this."
Lu Zhi frowned when he heard this.
He didn't like to hear this. What a wonderful place Hebei is, the foundation of Wangba!
Cao Mengde couldn't put it down.
Taking 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 water 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 water into twelve streams.
His name is Yan Boze.
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 blocked.
These water conservancy projects carried out by Cao Mengde not only facilitated farmland irrigation, but also facilitated transportation.
There is also Xuanwu Pond in the west of the city, which not only can be used for boat training, but also has a beautiful surrounding environment, making it a good place to visit.
There are lakes, rivers, canals, and ditches, which have brought convenient transportation, agricultural harvests, and beautiful scenery. Did you become the first famous city in Hebei for nothing?
It's just that since the Jin Dynasty, Hebei has not been paid much 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 opinion, 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. In private, he would even sell his old face to raise money and food to build 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 will be at ease.
Boldly march eastward, besiege Chaoge, and even try to attack Fangtou for the second time. If I move my troops south, he will retreat to Jijun to defend, so that the pressure on Shile will be reduced."
Yu Chen looked at the map and asked after a long time: "What if we attack Jijun first?"
He is a little obsessed with Jijun.
When he was appointed as the imperial censor, his first position was that of the governor of Jijun. He had been here for many years, but in the end, he had no choice but to withdraw to Henan with his 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 Chaoge, Gongxian and even Dangyin and other places.
Yu Chen nodded silently and said, "What does Mr. Ming need from me?"
Shao Xun glanced at his father-in-law and said: "You can go to Anyang and sit down to persuade the powerful nobles to provide food and troops to withstand the Xiongnu."
"I heard that Zhao Gu only has 20,000 troops, so it's not difficult to defend him," Yu Chen said.
"No." Shao Xun shook his head and said: "Be patient with the enemy. Zhao Lu and Kong Dou will have thousands of horses, named Yu Shihu. I think most of them have been conquered by Liu Ya. Hanoi and Jijun area
Most of the war is under the control of the Liu Han clan, and the soldiers may not be the only ones like Zhao Gu."
"Indeed." Yu Chen smiled bitterly.
How could Shi Hu be so virtuous and capable as to 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 come to 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 believe that Liu Han's court will not restrict you.
"Duke Ming 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 we are starting a full-scale war with the Xiongnu. We can fight anywhere. There are no restrictions. We just have to prioritize it."
Lu Zhi was thoughtful.
Shao Xun pointed to Hanoi again, and Hongnong said: "These two places can be used to defend the periphery of Bingzhou."
Yu Chen looked at the map.
Hanoi is fine, but Hongnong's Xin'an City is not easy to fight. It is equivalent to the Hangu Pass.
"Yu Gong is the captain of the school, so does he know about the situation in Hongnong?" Shao Xun asked.
Yu Chen thought for a while and said: "Wang Mi cannot actually be the master of Hongnong. He is not worried. In addition to sending troops to harass Luoyang in recent years, he has mainly cleaned up the powerful in Shaanxi and other counties and divided them into
Tian Lianbing."
"Rogue bandits always know how to prey on the rich." 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 divides their money, food, land and houses, and joins the army. Hongnong counties have been tormented by him for several years, and it is estimated that there are not many wealthy families left. If there are, they probably followed the path of the Huns, so Wang Mi dare not touch him
.
However, Wang Mi got it wrong. It was actually beneficial to a rogue bandit like him to divide the land from local tyrants, and it allowed him to change from a rogue bandit to a land bandit.
After a few years, to put it bluntly, his foundation in Hongnong was somewhat stronger than Shi Le's foundation in Hebei.
The people of Hongnong did not naturally gravitate towards the Jin court.
Wang Mi killed the scholars and local tyrants above them, and distributed the land to Zhuangke tribe. Who do you think they were looking for? People are all realistic. The master's family is gone, and life will continue to go on.
After Shao Xun finished laughing, he glanced at Lu Zhi without leaving 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's mind was spinning and he 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 traveled west from Qingzhou to Henan in three months -
- There is a saying that the emergence of Wang Feibao greatly promoted the level of Wubao and manor construction in the Jin Dynasty. Manors with insufficient safety levels 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 the land is not completely blank, 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 bit by bit, 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 enforced, such as how much land an official would occupy, there would be no aristocratic families, 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. You should know the terrain and the people's sentiments. If you want to defeat Wang Mi, you 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. All other attacks are 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 attack.
"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 left camp of Yinqiang and go north to the three cities of Heyang. From Chenliu, Jiyin, and Yingchuan, recruit 15,000 people and send them to Heyang, with Wang Que'er as the commander."
"The captured soldiers returned to the west, and the mule army went north. Then we asked the Forbidden Army's heroic cavalry to be mobilized. These thousands of cavalry were all given to Wang Que'er to attack Hanoi."
"I want to go back to Henan, and Yu Gong will come back south with me." Shao Xun said.
"Okay." Yu Chen responded directly, and at the same time 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 some good horsemen and ride quickly to Yiyang and ask my nephew to come and meet Junyi."
"As ordered." Yang Qin left quickly.
Shao Xun thought for a while and realized that he had nothing to give for the time being.
He knew very well that he could not leave Hebei easily now. Once he left, the situation could easily change, but Henan was his hometown and he could not leave for a long time.
He urgently needed a shogunate base that could take care of both Henan and Hebei, with convenient transportation and quick deployment of troops and food.
