Yuan Wei is most likely taking advantage of this phenomenon to cover up his actions.
For example, he would send some elite soldiers to blend into the ranks of the common people in advance, then enter Nanyang and wait for the opportunity to cooperate with the soldiers and horses in Wuguan Road to launch the final attack on Wuguan.
At that time, no matter how good Huo Du and Huo Jun were at fighting, they would probably not be able to withstand attacks from both inside and outside. Two thousand soldiers and horses would not be able to withstand such consumption.
but......
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian could not refuse the people of the Han Dynasty to migrate into Nanyang. This would damage the reputation he had managed to build with great difficulty.
"Master Ben!"
After analyzing the entire matter, the Military Advisor Alliance gave its own opinion: "It is very likely that Yuan Wei will place his own people in the ranks of the common people in order to make small moves at critical moments."
"But don't worry, experts also have their own methods. They can spend a relatively small amount of money to master as much information as possible about this group of people, so as to achieve precise control."
Liu Bian couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh? Experts actually have a way to achieve precise control?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors said with absolute certainty: "Absolute accuracy is not possible, but relative accuracy is definitely not a problem."
Liu Bian was overjoyed: "That's great. Let's talk about it quickly and try to implement it as soon as possible."
"It's very simple."
The Military Advisor Alliance immediately said: "We only need to seize the Aoguan Pass first, and then use the Aoguan Pass as a checkpoint to control the people who want to enter Wuguan Road."
"ah?"
Liu Bian couldn't help but frown: "Teacher, what you mean is...not to let the common people in? I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate? After all, they have great enthusiasm and want to seek refuge in Nanyang. Wouldn't this be harmful?
Won the hearts of the people?"
"Master Bian misunderstood."
The Military Advisor Alliance immediately denied: "The common people must not be allowed to enter. After all, the common people must be the majority, and there are only a very small number of saboteurs. We cannot hurt the common people just because we want to destroy the saboteurs. This is wrong."
"What the expert means is..."
Liu Bian became more and more curious and asked tentatively.
"We can do this."
The Military Advisor Alliance immediately came up with a solution: "Give food stamps to the people who come to Nanyang. As long as you enter Nanyang, you can receive a bucket of food with the food stamps. In this way, all the people will definitely come over on their own initiative."
"So......"
The Military Advisor Alliance followed up and said: "Those who dare not come over to collect food stamps must have something wrong with them."
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly brightened: "Hey, this is really a solution. Anyway, we have a bumper harvest this year, so this little food and grass will not be a problem."
"kindness."
The Military Advisor Alliance said with certainty: "Experts have calculated that even if one million people enter Nanyang, we will only consume 100,000 stones of food and grass. For the current Nanyang, it is just drizzle."
"Even if we take a step back, there are still some troublemakers who dare to come to collect food stamps. Our people can conduct a preliminary screening of them through the distinctive characteristics of soldiers."
"For example, there are calluses on the tiger's mouth, bow-legged people who have been riding horses all year round, etc. In this way, some suspicious elements can be screened out and sent to Huo Du for secondary screening."
"..."
"After a series of identification methods, when they are delivered to Xun You, there will definitely be some people who are real traitors. When the time comes, let Man Chong lead people to arrest them, try to get their contact information, and strive to catch them all."
"In this way, we will neither hurt the feelings of the people nor alert others, but we can also accurately control certain traitors and minimize the harm."
"The most important thing is that in one month, winter will begin. We must control these people when they enter Nanyang. Sooner or later, this part of the food and grass will have to be exported. It is the most advantageous to send it out in this way.
"
Liu Bianshen nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."
Immediately.
He turned to glance at Guo Jia and said softly: "Fengxiao, I have a way, which may prevent problems from happening."
Guo Jia couldn't help but be curious: "Oh? Your Majesty, please give me some advice."
At that moment, Liu Bian revealed his plan for the alliance of generals and divisions without revealing even a single detail.
Guo Jia sometimes nodded in praise and sometimes shook his head to express confusion. Liu Bian patiently explained various reasons and finally convinced him.
"sharp."
Guo Jia couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty's wonderful idea, I admire you very much. This can indeed carry out the strictest control at the lowest cost, and it also facilitates the resettlement of the people."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded, waved his hand and said: "Since Fengxiao agrees, let me leave this matter to you. While not many people are coming here, we still have time to make amends."
"Come to think of it, even Yuan Wei has not arranged large-scale soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people and enter Wuguan Road. Once this method is implemented, they can immediately hide themselves."
Guo Jia bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Liu Bien said: "Go and do it quickly."
Guo Jia nodded: "Here."
Immediately.
Guo Jia immediately reined in his horse and turned around, looking for Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and other children, as well as Li Ru and other counselors who came with them, to discuss His Majesty's approach.
Everyone unanimously agreed, and Guo Jia divided the work and quickly invested in each link.
Within Wuguandao, the older Pang Tong was responsible for distributing food stamps, while the rest followed the large army and rushed to Aoguan as quickly as possible to facilitate the control of the people coming and going.
*****
Under the Aoguan City.
Common people wearing coarse cloth were pushing their own carts, supporting the elderly and the young, arranged in an orderly manner, with smiles on their faces, and they were talking a lot:
"Nanyang Hanting is really benevolent and righteous. Anyone who goes to Nanyang can receive a dou of rice. There are four people in my family and they can receive four dou of rice. It's really great."
"I heard that Wuguan Daoqi District is difficult to travel to. We must insist on going to Nanyang, collect the food, and then wait for the imperial court to send people to distribute it, so that we can live in a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer."
"Yes, I heard that the people in Nanyang all live in houses like this. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the court provides subsidies for building houses. They are so happy."
"I am really looking forward to settling in Nanyang more and more. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang can take Chang'an and let the people of Chang'an live like this in the future."
"Who says it's not the case? I used to be from Luoyang, but I followed Dong Zhuo to Chang'an two years ago. Now I want to go to Nanyang. Maybe I will have the opportunity to return to Luoyang in the future."
"..."
The people queuing up were talking a lot.
Little Zhuge in front was observing everyone carefully, not sparing any detail from their figure, footsteps, tiger's mouth, and even their eyes, observing them extremely carefully.
"Name."
"Li Ergou."
"age."
"Twenty-three."
"Military position."
"Wu..."
"Captain? Take it away!"
Buzz—!
In an instant, seven or eight spears were pointed at the man in front of him: "Don't move."
A soldier had already rushed up to him, held him down, and began to search him. Sure enough, he found a dagger on his leg: "General, it's a weapon."
"kindness."
The general responsible for maintaining order seemed to have gotten used to it, and waved his hand: "Any spies among the traitors who have infiltrated into the ranks of the common people should be punished and taken away by me."
The soldier raised his hands and said, "Here."
Xiao Zhuge looked at the shocked people and said softly: "Folks, there is no need to panic. Your Majesty will only kill rebellious officials and traitors, but will not attack the real people."
"Look, this is the dagger found on his body. It is a sharp weapon only equipped by strong soldiers in the Chang'an army. It is enough to prove that this person is a spy of the thieves."
The common people became quiet one after another, and the discussion started to boil again:
"It's so abominable that there are spies."
"They dare to come here to get food? It's simply unreasonable."
"Real people are absolutely not afraid of interrogation, only spies are."
"Your Majesty did the right thing and should remove these scum from the team."
"..."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and motioned for the team to follow: "Everyone, follow up. Don't fall behind. Remember to enter Wuguan Road and don't exchange food stamps with others, as this may be used by rebellious officials and traitors."
"Everyone, please follow..."
"..."
The sound came out over and over again.
The order of the entire venue was maintained very well.
"Name."
"Erwazi."
"age."
"Twenty-three."
"Why are there calluses on your jaw?"
"I work in the fields every day, how can I not have calluses?"
"Let's go."
"Thank you."
"Remember, it's number 865."
"Don't worry, I remember it."
"..."
On the top of the city, Liu Bian stood in the wind, looking at the people who came to receive food stamps, and he was very happy: "As expected of an expert, look at the order, it is really good. Everyone queues up to receive it, and the troublemakers are immediately arrested.
"
"Guo Jia just sent someone to report that the three troublemakers they arrested all have calluses on their jaws. They must be spies in the army. They are currently being tortured."
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "Try to escape from their mouths in terms of personnel, quantity, generals, purpose, etc. With these, the rest will be easy to handle."
Liu Bian naturally knew this: "Teacher, don't worry, Guo Jia will take care of all this, and our scouts have already been sent out. If Yuan Wei makes any move, he will definitely counterattack as soon as possible."
"kindness."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said with great certainty: "Don't worry, Mr. Bian, Yuan Wei will definitely take action, and it is very likely that he will lure the snake out of its hole. We can just use the trick and finally close the door and beat the dog."
Liu Bien sighed and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. Now let's see how fast this old fox Yuan Wei can react."
Military Advisor Alliance: "This place is no longer far from Chang'an. Our move to scare off the enemy will definitely make Yuan Wei unable to sit still. Experts estimate that he will take corresponding actions soon. We must go all out."
"good."
Liu Bian agreed: "Don't worry, the dragon cavalry are already in place. Although there are not many troops, they are all elite. No matter how powerful the Xiliang Xiaoqi are, they may not be their opponents."
The Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "Just act according to the plan. Whatever situation arises, we will adopt whatever plan. In short, experts have already anticipated all possibilities."
Liu Bian: "That must be of course!"
"His Majesty."
At this moment, Guo Jia's voice sounded.
Liu Bian turned around and looked.
But he saw Guo Jia coming from behind, bowed his head, and looked a little solemn.
Liu Bian knew something was wrong and asked tentatively: "Why, didn't you torture him?"
Guo Jia nodded, but did not hide anything. He said truthfully: "One person committed suicide by taking poison, the other was hit by the wheel of the carriage, and the third one did not die, but was beaten to death in the end."
"Anyway..."
Guo Jia sighed and said with a hint of regret: "At present, there is no expected result of enlightenment."
Liu Bian was not angry, but looked very calm: "It's normal. Don't blame yourself too much. Those who can be sent to infiltrate the ranks of ordinary people must be elites and close friends. How could they be breached in a short time?"
Take your time."
"But!"
Guo Jia was naturally aware of the current situation: "I'm afraid we don't have time. Aoguan is not far from Chang'an, and it's all plains. With galloping horses, we can get there in one day."
"I want to..."
Speaking of this, Guo Jia's voice was slightly longer: "Yuan Wei will definitely take corresponding measures. We should be prepared in advance, otherwise we will suffer harm."
"Be filial and have peace of mind."
Liu Bian said confidently: "King Chen has led the dragon cavalry to take precautions outside. If the thieves come, they will use the cavalry to clear the way, just in time to give them a taste of the power of the dragon cavalry."
"As for Aoguan here..."
Liu Bian smiled faintly at Guo Jia: "When the time comes, I will naturally let them go. Everything has been arranged. Just pay attention and rest assured."
Guo Jia admired His Majesty the Emperor's thoughtfulness and couldn't help but bow his head and praised: "Your Majesty is wise."
The ability to think of countermeasures in a short period of time and prepare in advance for the enemy's measures is simply amazing.
Guo Jia asked himself, even he himself may not be able to be so detailed and meticulous. His Majesty the Emperor is the most capable person he has ever seen. Under his leadership, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to revive.
even......
His Majesty once said that reviving the Great Han Dynasty is only the beginning.
What he really wants to do is to surpass Emperor Qin and Han Wu and become the most powerful monarch in Chinese history, making the Han Dynasty the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history.
Without this ability, how could it be possible?
Every time Guo Jia thinks about this, he always feels filled with excitement, as if the young emperor in front of him can really bring peace to all generations.
He even envied Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and other young people. They must be the generation that can witness miracles, people who can truly make meritorious deeds with His Majesty the Emperor.
And myself...
Maybe it will eventually become a thing of the past and history!
Although he is still relatively young and his body is much stronger than before, there are still some problems that he has not dealt with well. Whether he can make it to the end, even he himself is not sure.
Liu Bian noticed the strange look on Guo Jia's expression and couldn't help but wonder: "Fengxiao, what are you thinking about? There is no expression on your face at all. This doesn't look like you."
"without!"
Guo Jia hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, smiling faintly: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt a little envious of these little guys. They are the same age as His Majesty and can accompany His Majesty to witness the resurgence of the Han Dynasty."
"And Chen..."
"No nonsense!"
Before Guo Jia could finish speaking, Liu Bian interrupted directly and said righteously: "As long as you follow the methods of Dr. Wang and take good care of your body, you will definitely be able to accompany me to witness the resurgence of the Han Dynasty in the future."
Guo Jia was so moved that he had tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
*****
Sili, Chang'an.
Tufu's Mansion.
At this moment, Yuan Wei was discussing the strategy after entering Wuguandao.
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall:
"Report—!"
Yuan Wei raised his eyes and looked.
However, a soldier hurried forward with a panicked look on his face. He leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Master, something serious has happened."
Yuan Wei hated the words "something bad happened." He frowned and asked sternly: "Speak frankly about what happened."
The soldier thanked him and went straight to the topic: "Information came back from the direction of Yaoguan. King Hongnong occupied Yaoguan and was actually giving out food stamps to the people, saying that with these food stamps, if you enter Nanyang, you can get a bucket of rice."
"Food stamps?"
Suddenly, Yuan Wei was stunned.
Yuan Ji was stunned.
Shi Sunrui was even more stunned.
None of them seemed to have thought that King Hongnong would actually issue food stamps to the people.
The purpose of such a saucy operation was such that even the old fox Yuan Wei did not stop for a moment.
After all, they have never been exposed to such things as food stamps.
"That's right."
The soldier nodded affirmatively: "The people who have escaped from Chang'an are rushing to Aoguan to receive food stamps. However, many of our soldiers and horses have been exposed when receiving food stamps."
hiss-!
This moment.
Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and others took a deep breath.
Yuan Wei immediately understood that King Hongnong had guessed his strategy, so he used this method to detect all the soldiers he had concealed, without affecting the people's hearts.
"Awesome!"
Yuan Wei was shocked and couldn't help but praise: "King Hongnong is indeed a very human being. He can think of such a way to get the best of both worlds. It's really admirable!"
"yes."
At this moment, Yuan Ji also realized the beauty of this method: "It's just a bucket of grain, but it can actually win the hearts and minds of the people, and even completely eliminate the possibility of us entering Wuguan Road."
"Even if someone can get in..."
Shi Sunrui took up the conversation and sighed: "I'm afraid there are only a few. For example, Duke Yuan, your Majesty, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely not be able to get in."
"If we don't find a way to solve this problem, we're afraid we'll have to wait to die in Chang'an. Fan Chou can't stop Ma Teng and Han Sui, that's for sure."
"That's right."
Yuan Wei naturally understands the urgency of the current situation.
If we can't break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to do in the future.
Originally, Yuan Wei wanted to wait for the latest results to come back and implement the strategy immediately, but who would have thought that although he had received the news, it was bad news rather than good news.
At this moment, Yuan Wei was caught off guard. For a moment, Yuan Wei was confused: "Is there anything you can do? It's best to open the gate of the Pass at the minimum cost."
His subordinate Sun Rui said softly: "Mr. Yuan, if you want to remain calm and enter Nanyang, it may not be that easy. We will have to rely on force after all."
"force?"
Without waiting for Yuan Wei to answer, Yuan Ji directly denied it: "No, absolutely impossible! Do you think you are the only one in the team? There are also the civil and military personnel of the entire dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor."
"A forced attack will not only fail to solve the problem, but will even cause a series of inappropriate reactions. King Hongnong will definitely make good use of this opportunity."
"That's right."
Yuan Wei, who quickly calmed down, nodded graciously: "King Hongnong will never pass up this opportunity, and since he has thought of such a method, it is very likely that he has realized that we will send people to sneak into Wuguandao.
"
"but......"
When the conversation changed, Yuan Wei pinched a wisp of beard under his chin: "King Hongnong must have never imagined that we would take His Majesty with us and prepare to rush from Wuguan Road to Nanyang to move the capital."
"Therefore, this time, we can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, if we fail too many times, it will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion and even abandon Chang'an and go straight to Wuguan."
Shi Sunrui said sonorously: "Taifu, if we want to sneak into Wuguandao as soon as possible, we must use force, otherwise we will not be able to attract the attention of King Hongnong."
"If we can't divert King Hongnong's attention, all our preparations will be wasted. Not to mention that His Majesty can't leave, even the civil and military officials can't leave. We can only die here."
Yuan Wei frowned and looked up at Shi Sunrui: "General Shi, is there anything you can do?"
Shisun Rui leaned over and cupped his hands and said: "Master, we can use the strategy of luring the snake out of the cave. Don't forget that General Duan Xuan is still in Chang'an, and the Lantian Valley outside the Aoguan Pass is his main battlefield."
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
Yuan Wei's eyes suddenly brightened, and he suddenly understood what Shi Sunrui was thinking.
I have to admit, it is indeed a clever idea.
"That's right."
Shi Sunrui nodded with absolute certainty: "As long as King Hongnong's troops leave Aoguan, we can take this road however we want. We don't need any food stamps at all."
"this......"
Yuan Wei pinched a strand of goatee under his chin: "It is indeed a clever plan. Let's do this. You will be responsible for telling General Duan Xuan and ask him to quickly lead the Xiliang Xiaoqi to fight against King Hongnong who came from Nanyang."
Scholar Sun Rui leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Here."
Yuan Wei waved his hand: "It's not too late, let's go now."
Shisun Ruian said: "Don't worry, just leave it to the general."
Immediately.
Suddenly he turned around and left the hall.
After the scholar Sun Rui left, Yuan Wei sighed and said softly: "King Hongnong is really powerful. He can think of such a method. It seems that our plan has to be advanced."
"Shi Ji." Yuan Wei greeted.
"exist."
"You quickly notify the civil and military officials and act according to the original plan. I will go to the palace in person and take Your Majesty and the Queen with me to make preparations in advance and be ready to leave at any time."
"Here."
Ever since.
The two of them acted separately.
Yuan Ji went straight to the chancellery, prepared an edict, and then sent orders to all civil and military officials.
Yuan Wei, on the other hand, went straight to the palace and prepared to persuade the emperor to give up everything he could.
