Chapter 246: Nowhere to Turn

Seven days after the Battle of Huangshui, it was the 15th day of July in the first year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, and the 20th day of August in the summer calendar, Monday.

Lu Yi returned to Jingzhou from Yizhou and came to Zhaoyangyi to participate in the summer festival held by Tian Xin and Yu Tuo.

All the officials of Ji Han with a clear family lineage can come to participate in it in person, and it is inconvenient to send their children and nephews to come.

I thought that the summer festival was a grand festival, which was a major event that attracted the attention of the Central Plains and Jingxiang clans, and Liu Bei was also very concerned.

Unexpectedly, Yu Fang, who was also Xia Zheng, was in charge of the summer festival, but organized people to distribute tools and pulled them to Xinye County to repair Deng Pi.

Tian Xin was training the army, and the reason he gave was very simple: "Yu Xia began with Emperor Shun to control the water, so every summer sacrifice is seven days of water control. This is a long-term thing, and it cannot be abolished. ”

Deng Pi knew by looking at the name that it was related to the Xinye Deng family, and it was still a water conservancy project.

This is the water blocking facility built in the east of the turbulent water, the turbulent water is redirected to the south here, this Deng Shi Pi is very old, the former residence of Taifu Deng Yu, and the former residence of Deng Chen, Marquis of Xihua, face each other.

To the west of the river is the feudal town of Zhaoyangyi, so Xinye County was also cut, and some of the Deng families who stayed in Xinye settled in Zhaoyangyi after accepting the "Three Ke Household Laws", and some moved to the east of Shushui.

Naturally, Dengpi is a water conservancy facility belonging to Zhaoyang-eup.

"The surrounding area of Deng Pi is full of fertile fields!"

Lu Yi pulled his trouser leg and climbed into Deng Pi to look around, he was holding an iron shackle in his hand.

There is turbulent water to the west of Dengpi and Nirvana water to the northwest; To the east of Dengpi, there is a water drain, the surrounding land is flat, and the production capacity per mu is 'ten stones'.

This ten stones, for the sake of good political performance, deliberately changed the big acres and small stones, which is a typical example of everyone seeing through it without saying it, and it coaxes laymen.

It's been nearly ten days since he returned to Soyang-eup, and he's used to the cool summer shorts.

About 700 people followed Yu to carry soil and rocks, excavate silt, repair and strengthen Deng Shipi, and dredge the surrounding canals.

When Lu Yi sighed, Yu turned over and picked up the soil with a flat shoulder, poured the soil, and said: "It is precisely because of the anointing that the Deng clan is prosperous and heroic. ”

He said with a little regret: "It's a pity that it will be three years soon, and Xiahou will be transferred to Guanzhong." ”

The Deng clan is now weakening, and this inheritance can be taken away.

According to the household grain tax law implemented in Zhaoyangyi, the Deng clan living here still has a grain tax of two stones a year per household. This grain tax is nothing to the Deng clan.

If life is stable for two or three years, the Deng clan will quickly accumulate wealth.

Wealth can give the Deng children more time to learn, grow, get development opportunities, and then give back to the clan.

Everything is false, and the anointed fertile fields around Deng's Pi are real.

Lu Yi is burly and sturdy, and he is also a good hand at leveling the land with iron and iron, and he frowned from time to time because of the news that Yu Fu deliberately confided, puzzled: "Xiahou really wants to be resealed?" ”

"Nanyang is the thoroughfare of the world, how can you be a Xiahou fiefdom?"

Yu replied calmly, without regret, Tian Xin was not distressed, and there was no need for everyone to feel distressed.

Seeing that Lu Yi leveled the land, the two of them picked up the stone cone and tamped this layer of loess, and it was Lu Yi's turn to pick up the flat burden, and Yu turned over the iron to rest.

As an unlucky township party, they are now all bearing the identity of the Yuxia ethnic group, and they have too many common topics and bottom lines and pursuits with each other.

Lu Yi said: "Nanzhong is unstable, and Zhuge Kongming intends to personally conquer Nanzhong. This matter should be sooner rather than later, if the decisive battle of the Central Plains is won, it may be delayed for another two years. If the decisive battle does not go well, our army Jingzhou soldiers and horses will recuperate, and the army of Yizhou will just send troops to Nanzhong, which is not only to train troops, but also to solve the arrogant and lawless wealthy families in Nanzhong. ”

"Zhuge Kongming intends to make me lead the clan out of Nanzhong, but I am worried that Nanzhong is sinister, so I have repeatedly asked for my resignation."

There are more than 200 people in Lu Yituo's family, and there are more than 3,000 people in the upper part of the series, and such a powerful force is enough to deter the heroes of Nanzhong.

The barbarians in Nanzhong have never had any ideas, and the barbarians are really easy to govern.

The most difficult to deal with is Han Haoqiang, who is rooted in Nanzhong, these guys are tainted with brutality and extreme greed, and they almost get into the seams.

It's okay not to give a chance, but if you give a chance, you will definitely kick your nose and face, and you have to inch in.

Or, as is the case now, the well water does not interfere with the river water, but in this case, it will be impossible to levy military service and tax rents from the Nanzhong region, and it is necessary to leave an army of no size to supervise the Nanzhong to prevent the powerful Nanzhong from launching an internal annexation war.

The problem is very clear, if you hit Nanzhong now, you will lose money.

The tax rent in Nanzhong cannot support a county soldier of 3,000 people; To sweep Nanzhong, at least 30,000 troops are needed.

In terms of the treacherous road environment in the south and central China, there are only 35,000 sharp troops that can fight, and the rest are stationed and transported along the way.

The larger the use of troops, the greater the expenditure on food...... The more you lose.

The accounts in the southern and central regions are not easy to calculate, unless they have an absolute advantage to deter the local heroes, but these people gather in the mountains and forests, saying that their ancestors are used to being their ancestors, and their ancestors have not had the habit of kneeling to eat for generations, and their bones are very hard.

Even if you invite Nanzhong Haoqiang to come out to be an official, these uncles are also disdainful, and when they come out to be officials, they have to be subject to legal supervision, they have to work hard between the cases, they have to socialize, and if they don't do well, they will lose their heads.

Therefore, the people of Jingzhou retreated and gave up some fixed official positions to Nanzhong Haoqiang, and these people were not interested.

Unwilling to pay taxes, unwilling to serve in the military, and unwilling to come out as an official...... It is also a typical mountain and bad water that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhuge Liang is really embarrassed and can't find an entry point to solve it.

However, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Nanzhong region has also developed rapidly, and all the heroes have grown to a critical point.

Those who are a little ambitious want to unify Nanzhong and become a king of the Southern Barbarians.

Han Haoqiang wants to be a barbarian king...... Not surprising.

If Yizhou does not leave a mobile force, the Nanzhong region will definitely be in chaos and fight for a bloody barbarian king.

Yu Fu fled with his eleven sons, and there were few people to eat; There are more than 200 clans and 3,000 tribes...... With so many mouths to eat, and the small problem of the trilogy's wife to be solved, Lu Yi has too many troubles that need to be solved urgently.

may be worried that Yu Tuo can't figure out his mind and bottom line, Lu Yi said: "Xiahou reformed and founded the Northern Mansion, and Wei Wenchang followed suit in Hanzhong to establish the Western Mansion. Zhuge Kongming praised the subtlety of it, and the suspicion in Nanzhong, Linanfu, can be easily solved. ”

There is no need for additional troops, as long as a nail is pierced into it, relying on the material support of Yizhou, and even eliminating it, plus coercion, vertical and horizontal means, there is no problem in sweeping Nanzhong.

The question is nothing more than how many years Nanzhong will fight, and who will be sent.

This is a strategy and policy that Lu Yi and Yu Fu are very familiar with, and both of them have rich experience in dealing with it.

To put it bluntly, the establishment of Nanfu is to copy the means of Jiangdong to annex Shanyue, defeat Han Haoqiang, move to the Yizhou Plain, and then lead the barbarians with military officials...... Evolve the military officials into the new Han Haoqiang, or the new barbarian chieftain.

Yu turned the shovel soil for Lu Yibian, and after it was full, Yu turned before asking: "Does Bo Yan want to be the governor of the city, or is he worried about the sinister nature of Nanzhong?" ”

"With Xiahou's twelve strategies for epidemic prevention and rescue, Nanzhong is far less sinister than Sun Quan."

Lu Yi ridiculed Sun Quan and said: "Zhuge Kongming wants to use my strength to make me the general to conquer Nanzhong, and to take General Anyuan and Deng Kongshan, the governor of Yu, as the general of Zhennan, and change the Nanfu to Nanfu." ”

Deng Fang, the word Kongshan, a native of Nanjun; At first, Liu Bei's Jingzhou was engaged, followed into Shu, and served as the governor of the subject state of Qianwei, and the subject country of Qianwei was changed to Zhuti County, and Deng Fang served as the county guard, and later worshiped General Anyuan and the governor of Yu, responsible for appeasing the barbarians near and far, and recruiting naturalization.

So far, Deng Fang has been the governor of the city for almost five years.

Yu heard it and understood, this was because the chips given by Zhuge Liang were too low, and Lu Yi was unwilling to squander the three thousand steps that he had established himself in, in exchange for a general position promised and granted by Zhuge Liang.

Both of them are people who came from Koto, so they are naturally very concerned about the concept of 'who is who'.

Tian Xin's refusal to concurrently serve as Sima of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a weather vane, and Zhuge Liang's military power in the future will definitely not be large, not more than one-third.

Jiangdong was born as a general, and in the hands of Zhuge Liang, he competed with a group of Jingzhou people and Yizhou generals who began to emerge...... It's really hard for myself.

What's more, if Lu Yi's 3,000 trilogy dies, there will be one less one, and it is difficult to replenish.

In terms of the establishment of government troops, it is difficult for Lu Yi to strengthen his troops in the war, and the number of troops is only attrition, and there is no possibility of growth.

Nanzhong Haoqiang is not easy to clean up, otherwise Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang would have solved it a long time ago.

This is to use the life of the trilogy to buy a vote certificate, Lu Yi didn't like it, and the conversation with Zhuge Liang collapsed.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will not let him expand the trilogy. Lu Yi also does not have a military territory, and now relying on the military rations allocated by Liu Bei to survive, it is already very difficult to maintain the current scale of the troops, and there is really no resources to support and expand more troops.

For example, the Deng family in front of him is the heritage of a thousand-year-old family.
