Chapter 0654: Dingli
In fact, Zhao Yun also has a headache for the chaos in Longxi and Hanyang.
If the chaos can be quelled as soon as possible, he will naturally give it his full support.
"It's just that now Longyou is short of food, if you move easily, how can the food keep up?"
It's one thing to think about it, and it's another thing to do it, but Zhao Yun is a little worried about this matter.
Feng Yong grinned, reached into his arms and touched it, took out a ticket, and flicked it with his fingers, clicking.
I only heard him say proudly, "Know what this is?" ”
Zhao Yun saw his frivolous appearance, and he was angry, "Such a big thing, can you say it seriously?" Believe it or not, old man...... Well? ”
Zhao Yun motioned to take the spear.
Feng Tujiao saw that Old Man Zhao was about to come, and quickly coughed, sat up straight and said, "This is called a grain stamp, but it is a new ticket from Nanxiang, which is specially used by the Hu people." ”
Zhao Yun took it curiously, "How to use it?" ”
"Let those Qianghu Qushuai report all the population of their tribe, and then issue food stamps according to each person, receive food with food stamps, and send them once every half a month."
Feng Yong explained.
Even if he could bring more grain from Shudi, it would take time.
Therefore, when food should be scarce, it still has to be tight, and how to distribute and use it is a very challenging problem.
Fortunately, he knew that when there was a shortage of materials in later generations, there was a system called the planned rationing system.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he only felt a rumbling sound, and the whole person became a little dizzy.
He felt that some understood, and some did not.
"In this way, we can easily count how many people there are in the Qianghu attached to Longyou, and each tribe's grain storage is not enough to eat for a month, so they can't make any waves."
"What's more, we can draw a pro-rata based on the number of people they have reported."
If you dare to falsely report your head, watch Lao Tzu smoke you to death when he smokes Ding!
"I can gather the rest of the grain and use it as military rations, and it will not be a problem to support an army of 6,000 men for two months. In 20 days at most, another batch of grain will be transported from Nanxiang to make up for the shortfall. ”
"And counting the days, the grain over there should be no less than a few days of grain coming over from the southern countryside, and there will be no worries about food shortage at that time."
Feng Yong calculated carefully, and he felt that there was really nothing wrong with this method.
A few years ago, the people of the Han Dynasty had to starve for two or three months when they were not in stock.
Lao Tzu rationed food according to the capitation, and the amount of rations was calculated as low, and it would be almost enough to eat most of the full, and a lot of rations could be saved.
In difficult times, everyone should be conscious, right?
The most important thing is that it is autumn at this time, which is the best time to send troops.
In another two months, the weather in Longyou will become cold, which is not conducive to action, so there is no chance to be lost.
Those Qianghu, who did not belong to the Han Dynasty, had to collect their own food for the winter after suffering from the drought this year.
At this time, even if they want to be safe, the coming cold will force them to plunder everywhere.
Therefore, if we don't take advantage of the cold winter to suppress the Hanyang Qiang Rebellion, it will be at least until the beginning of spring tomorrow.
Even Old General Zhao, who had seen all kinds of demons and monsters in the world, heard Feng Yong's calculations, and his eyes became a little frightened.
How did this kid's heart grow? This will make you think of a way to squeeze out the rations......
At the end of August of the sixth year of Jianxing, Feng Yong, the captain of Huqiang, issued an order to recruit Hu, summoned Longyou Qianghu, formed a volunteer army, and prepared to inspect the counties of Hanyang County.
For a time, Hu people gathered around Jicheng, and people called horses neighing.
Feng Yong ascended the platform and gave orders, but when he saw the flag like a forest, he heard the drums like thunder.
Only after the inspection of the Qiang Hu on all roads, Feng Yong took two thousand Han troops and five thousand Hu cavalry to the east.
Looking at the billowing smoke and dust in the east, many people in Jicheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped a cold sweat.
At the same time, he looked at Zhao Yun, the governor of Longyou, and his party, who had returned from bidding farewell to the captain of Huqiang, and there was more fear in their eyes.
The Qianghu Rebellion has always been a stubborn disease in Liangzhou and Longyou.
This time, the Qianghu Jingqi gathered in Jicheng, and the people in the city said that they were not worried and afraid, which was fake.
At least those who have evil intentions have been unable to sleep well for the past few days and nights.
"The majesty of the captain of the Han Guard, I only heard the old man say it before, but I didn't expect to see it now!"
Some people are afraid, and naturally some people are excited.
Longyou has been suffering from Qiang Hu for a long time!
Unexpectedly, now that the captain of the Qiang Guard has given an order, those unruly Qiang Hu will obediently obey the order, which is really majestic.
This is the true power of the Great Han.
If the captain of the Qiang Guard can really "take care" of the Qiang Hu, then it will really be a blessing for Longyou.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Feng Yong's unreasonable approach would inadvertently deter the Longyou family, so that the Han ran Longyou more smoothly.
In August of the sixth year of Jianxing, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty went on a northern expedition, broke Cao Wei, captured Longyou, and achieved brilliant results, the emperor of the Han Dynasty personally wrote a letter and sent it to the lord of Wu.
Lu Xun has been paying close attention to the Battle of Longyou in the Han and Wei dynasties.
When he learned that Zhuge Liang's soldiers were coming to the city of Xiangwu on the right side of Long, Lu Xun played Sun Quan: "Shu must have won Long!" At this time, Cao Wei is all looking to the west, taking advantage of it, it is the right time! ”
Sun Quan followed his words, and first ordered his younger brother Sun Huan to make a big show and build a mansion in Anlu City, thinking that he was a military prince.
Then he ordered Quan Cong and Zhu Huan to lead 30,000 troops to gather at the mouth of the Xukou and prepare to enter Hefei, while Sun Quan himself led 50,000 troops to camp in Wuchang, preparing to wait for an opportunity to march into Shiyang City in Jiangxia County.
At the same time, he also sent an order to Jiangling, asking Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin to reorganize the army and prepare to capture Xiangyang.
Cao Wei's spies detected the movements of Eastern Wu and rushed to report to Cao Xiu.
At the same time, Zhou Yi's secret report followed, explaining the arrangements of Soochow to Cao Xiu one by one.
When Cao Xiu learned about it, he was not surprised but rejoiced: Sun Quan didn't know about soldiers, but he dared to divide the soldiers into three ways, see how I taught him to use soldiers!
He wrote a piece of music immediately and sent it to Luoyang urgently.
Let's say that Emperor Cao Rui of Wei drove a personal expedition, but a general died, lost his land and lost his division, and lost his troops and generals, which led to an uproar in the government and the opposition.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor broke Sun Quan when he first ascended the throne last year, allowing him to accumulate prestige, I am afraid that there would already be ministers facing the Empress Dowager Chen at this time to talk about the emperor's loss.
Cao Rui had no choice but to issue an edict against himself, admitting that he despised Shu too much and commanded the war unfavorably, resulting in the defeat of Youlongyou.
The old ministers of the Cao Wei court all thought that His Majesty could do this, and he still did not lose the image of a wise king.
Cao Rui thought that this matter could be covered up like this, but he didn't know that he was still too simple.
At this time, in Luoyang City, there was a group that was emerging.
It is centered on the famous young generation such as He Yan, Deng Yang, and Xiahou Xuan, who uphold the legacy of the late Han Dynasty, travel with each other, talk about current affairs, and discuss characters, weaving an intricate network of relationships.
This circle includes Cao Wei's famous men and gentlemen, and at the same time, many important ministers' heirs are also involved.
For example, Sima Yi's son Sima Shi, Liu Fang's son Liu Xi, Sun Zi's son Sun Mi, etc.
When they talk about current events, they inevitably criticize some of the practices of the imperial court.
For example, there was an official named Meng Kang who was promoted by the relationship of Empress Guo, and was ridiculed by the people of the time and called "Ah Jiu".
For another example, Xiahou Xuan is good-looking, as bright as the sun and the moon, and Mao Zeng, the younger brother of Empress Mao, who was favored by Emperor Wei Ming, was stupid and vulgar.
Cao Rui asked Mao Zeng to sit with Xiahou Xuan, and was laughed at as 'Pujia leaning on the jade tree.'
Now that Cao Rui has returned from a great defeat, he naturally can't escape the scope of these people's discussions.
"The defeat of Longyou is a crime of war, and there is also an unfavorable time. When the Great Wei and Shu Lu fought in Longyou, it happened to be a great drought in Guanzhong, which was really a warning to the Son of Heaven that he was unethical. How can you convince others if you just sin yourself and don't mention cultivating virtue? ”
Although it was not explicitly stated what the Son of Heaven was immoral, everyone understood in their hearts that this was an allusion to the fact that the emperor abandoned the concubine and set up a concubine, and there was a faux pas.
Under the pressure of public opinion, and at the same time in order to prepare food, Cao Rui had to take a step back and issue an edict to welcome the Yu family who was deposed to Yecheng back to Luoyang.
But he gritted his teeth, unwilling to open his mouth and abolish the Yu clan.
The big families didn't think that they could do it in one step, as long as the Yu family could return to Luoyang, it would be considered a temporary goal.
Cao Xiu's expedited recital arrived in Luoyang under this circumstance.
Cao Rui had to hear the chapter, just like a long drought and a rain.
At this point, he desperately needed a big win to regain his reputation.
So he couldn't wait to prepare an edict for Sima Yi in Jingzhou and Jia Kui in Yuzhou to respond to the great Sima Cao Xiu.
Shangshu Jiang Ji opposed this dispatch of troops, he wrote to Cao Rui: "The Great Sima went deep into the land of Wu, opposite Sun Quan's elite soldiers, but there is Zhu Ran in the upper reaches of the river, and he is at the back of the Great Sima. ”
But Cao Rui had already made up his mind, and he explained, "Zhu Ran and Zhuge Jin are about to attack Xiangyang, so why do they come down the river? And there is a hussar general Sima Yi in Jingzhou, who can lead the army to attack Nanjun, and the anti-guest is the mainstay. ”
Jiang Ji said again, "Sun Quan said with great fanfare that he wanted to attack Jiangxia Shiyang, but if he led his troops to the east to resist Da Sima, what should he do?" ”
"Da Sima has Zhou Yi in front of him, and Yuzhou Jia Kui in the back to protect his flanks, what are you worried about?" Cao Rui did not listen to Jiang Ji's words and ordered Sima Yi to attack Jingzhou, and Jia Kui set off for Dongguan Wuchang.
(Note: During the three dynasties of the Cao family, Dongguan was in the area of Wuchang and Xiakou, the capital of Eastern Wu, which can be verified from the remarks in the history books and the map of the Three Kingdoms.) At the end of the Cao Wei period, Dongguan was in the familiar area of the Wet Whisker Dock. )
When the edict reached Yangzhou, the former general Manzhong learned that the emperor had agreed to Cao Xiu's plan, and he was so anxious that he hurriedly wrote: "If Da Sima leads the army into Anhui, there is a big lake on his back, and there is a river next to him, so it is easy to advance and difficult to retreat." ”
"This is a place where the soldiers are in danger. If the army marches without a strong mouth, you must pay great attention. ”
The full pet chapter has just been sent, and Cao Xiu himself has already led the army to set off, and at the same time let the full pet divide the troops into Xiakou.
At this time, Lu Xun had already arrived in Anhui City with 60,000 horses to prepare for the upcoming war.
On the edge of the Yangtze River in autumn, the weather is no longer as hot as it was a month ago.
Lu Xun was dressed in Confucian costumes and led the generals to stand outside Anhui City, ready to welcome the arrival of Sun Quan, the lord of Wu.
I saw smoke and dust rise in the distance, indicating that people and horses were galloping towards this side.
Sun Quan did not ride in a car, but rode a horse and wore armor, and ran to the front of the soldiers of Wu before stopping.
"Meet the King!"
All the generals saluted in unison.
"Up!" Sun Quan, who was sitting on a tall horse, held a horsewhip in his hand, looked at everyone, and said, "Cao Thief is stupid, and now he has fallen into my trap!" ”
"Ten years ago, Cao Cao personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to come, but they were all defeated by me. Now that this Cao thief is just a yellow-bearded child, he dares to let Cao Xiu only lead 100,000 people here, what am I afraid of? ”
"I only hope that all of you will be able to fight to kill the enemy, boost the prestige of my Eastern Wu, and let that Cao Rui also taste the humiliation of his father back then!"
When Sun Quan's words fell, everyone in Dongwu burst into laughter.
I saw Zhu Huan come out and salute Sun Quan, "Cao Xiu is only because of his surname Cao, so he can be entrusted with the important task of Emperor Wei, and he is not a famous general!" ”
"Now he has come from afar, and he is tired of his soldiers, and if he fights me again, he will definitely be defeated! If he is defeated, he should take the two roads of the stone and the trailer, which are both dangerous roads, and only need more than 10,000 soldiers to block the road, he can completely annihilate the Cao thieves and capture Cao Xiu. ”
"The last general asked for an order to go to cut off the road, if he was blessed by heaven and let Cao Xiu surrender, then we can take advantage of the victory and take Shouchun to possess Huainan, so that we can peep into Xuchang and Luoyang."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must not miss it!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he was moved, looked at Lu Xun, and asked, "What does Bo Yan think?" ”
Lu Xun's face was indifferent, and he shook his head lightly, "This plan is too dangerous and must not be used." ”
When Zhu Huan heard this, he was immediately unconvinced, and was about to say more, but Sun Quan said, "I came this time, just watch, don't say, everything is decided by Boyan." ”
After that, Lu Xun was appointed as the governor of Wu on the spot, fake Huang Yue.
After the event, everyone retreated, leaving only Lu Xun.
Sun Quan got off the horse and said to Lu Xun, "I look at Zhu Huan's words, which are quite desirable, why don't you use Bo Yan?" ”
Lu Xun replied: "King, now that the Cao thief has not arrived, he will first send more than 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush, in case it is discovered by Cao Xiu, it will alarm the thief too early." We have to show weakness before he can come in. ”
"Second, even if General Zhu can really be undetected and cut off the road behind Cao Xiu, he will definitely be attacked by Cao Xiu's front and back."
"If Cao Xiu is defeated, then he will become a return to the teacher, and if he returns to the teacher, he will not be stopped, and if he is suppressed, he will be devoured. And there will be Cao thieves to the north of the stone and trailer. At that time, I was afraid that General Zhu would not be able to cut off the road, and he would fall into danger. ”
"As for this third, General Zhu is a general, I just need to use his strength to defeat Cao Xiu, how can I easily let him go?"
Sun Quan listened and nodded, "I see." ”
However, General Zhu's plan is not completely useless. In fact, the minister had already sent 5,000 men to hide not far from Wuqiangkou. ”
"As long as Cao Xiu is defeated, these 5,000 people can try to cut off his back road. If Cao Xiu and I can't hold on, these 5,000 people can be a surprise soldier from the rear flank. ”
"That's wonderful!" Sun Quan was overjoyed, then reached into his arms, took out a letter, and said with a slight sigh, "This is a letter sent by the Lord of Shu, called greetings, which is really a big announcement of the battle of Longyou and the prestige of the Shu army." ”
As he spoke, he looked to the north, with a sharp cold glint in his eyes, "Bo Yan, do you remember that you promised me one thing?" ”
How could Lu Xun not know what Sun Quan was thinking at this time, so he bowed down and saluted, "After this battle, the ministers will definitely let the name of the king shock the world." My lord is eloquent, how can I let Liu Chan Xiao'er crush his head? ”
"Good!" Sun Quan's mind was agitated, "If you still know your heart, then I will watch you from the head of Wancheng City, you must not let me down!" ”
Lu Xun stood up straight and smiled confidently, "If you want to let the king's prestige spread to the world for a long time, you will be able to get your wish today!" ”
Sun Quan also smiled knowingly.
Cao Pi was called the emperor, and it was the Han Emperor who personally conceded it.
Liu Bei also called himself the emperor, saying that he wanted to rise and destroy and restore the Han Dynasty.
Only Soochow, if the name is not right, it is not good.
Obviously, the two countries of Wei and Shu stand on their feet, but they can only be called kings.
This not only made Sun Quan feel aggrieved, but at the same time, the Jiangdong family also felt that it would be inferior to the Central Plains family, so the top and bottom of Dongwu urgently needed a name.
Therefore, this battle is a battle in which Wu State works together.
If he wins, Sun Quan will be qualified to be the emperor, Jiangdong will have an official title, and the interests of the Jiangdong family can be guaranteed for a long time.
