Chapter Ninety-Nine: People's Hearts Float
Nanyang County is also in the most important spring ploughing of the year.
Like the Han army in Jingzhou, except for a small number of officials, the rest of the population was mostly engaged in spring ploughing, including the army.
The county shou Tian Yu also personally helped the plow to sow seeds in the official field, and in terms of the current defense of Nanyang, it is meaningless to gather troops to defend.
As an early follower of Liu Bei, Tian Yu left Liu Bei because he couldn't travel far to serve his mother, which became a common regret for the two.
Zhao is also a person who followed Liu Bei when he was a teenager, and Zhao and Tian Yu were wary of Cao Cao and were only used in the rear.
In the second half of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Tian Yu was appointed as the county guard of Nanyang, and at that time, due to the relocation of the people in Hanzhong, Nanyang's taxes were increased, the forced labor was heavy, and the rebellion of Hou Yin and other officials broke out. The original county guard captured more than 500 people, beheaded according to the law, and before the execution, the original county guard was transferred away and taken over by Tian Yu.
Tian Yu released 500 people and comforted them to mend their ways. So Hou Yin and other rebels were moved by Tian Yu, the army was disbanded, and they were incorporated by Tian Yu, and Nanyang was praised by Cao Cao and promoted to the captain of Wuhuan.
The Wuhuan tribes allied with each other and signed an embargo agreement on horses...... As soon as Tian Yu broke down this war horse embargo alliance, he was resent back to Nanyang by Cao Cao and knighted the Marquis of Changle Pavilion.
There were three roads in front of Tian Yu, either to take Nanyang County to Liu Bei, or the Jingzhou army was killed in the Northern Expedition, or to flee back to the north.
Tian Yu was still in contact with Guan Yu, and it was embarrassing that his only son Tian Pengzu met Wen Hou, Wen Ping's nephew, in Jiangling...... This must be a coincidence.
In the past, there was Ma Riyan, and then there was the great Confucian Zheng Xuan who named his grandson Zheng Xiaotong, and then Tian Yu named his son Tian Pengzu, and the two names gradually began to recover.
Tian Pengzu is Tian Yu's only son, and he came to Guantian with new news and reported to Tian Yu: "Father, the Marquis of Yan Ling has been placed under house arrest. β
Tian Yu took the letter and glanced at it, it was a secret letter sent by his son-in-law Sun Hong, Sun Hong is the only son of the secretary Sun Zi, who is in charge of the secrets of the Wei State.
Cao Zhang's coup d'Γ©tat came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the process, and the consequences were very serious.
Now the most direct embodiment is to cut off Tian Yu's retreat, especially at this critical moment, if Tian Yu returns to the Central Plains from Nanyang, he will definitely be cleansed.
A year ago, Tian Yu was transferred from Youzhou to Nanyang as a county punctual, Cao Zhang happened to be transferred to Youzhou to fight the Wuhuan people, Tian Pengzu stayed in Youzhou as an official, followed Cao Zhang's big break of Wuhuan, and captured a lot.
After Cao Cao led the army from Luoyang to Yingchuan Mopo, Tian Pengzu was ordered by Cao Zhang to escort 500 war horses to Mopo, worried that these horses would be interfered with by Cao Pi, Tian Pengzu deliberately went around to send the war horses to Mopo.
When Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Mopo back to Luoyang, he transferred Tian Yu back to Nanyang from Youzhou, Cao Cao did not embarrass Tian Pengzu, and released Tian Pengzu back to Tian Yu's side.
What does Cao Cao mean?
Tian Yu could guess and was willing to repay this kindness and try hard to give it a try.
But Cao Zhang launched a coup d'Γ©tat to seize power, killing himself is not important, and it will also involve Tian Pengzu to follow Cao Zhang, and Cao Pi is a series of military officials.
Cao Pi didn't care, or even knew what Tian Pengzu did, but stared at Tian Pengzu's eyes too much. At the right time, Tian Yu and Tian Pengzu, who are far away from Youzhou, are caged birds, and there is nowhere to run.
Cao Zhang brought about his own destruction, Tian Yu couldn't watch his only son being implicated and killed, he had no choice.
After hesitating for a long time, Tian Yu said: "King Wu of Wei made me guard the undefendable Nanyang, which has the intention of fulfilling me and the king of Han, which is really kind." Today's Wei State urgently needs to recuperate, and it can't stand the war, let alone the defeat. If I can guard Nanyang for King Wu for a year, and then vote for King Han, I will have a clear conscience. β
The surrounding county officials and staff also gathered, most of them were natives of Nanyang, and they all hung their heads at the moment.
Tian Pengzu said: "Father, the child thought that King Wu transferred his father to Nanyang because he was afraid that his father would raise the people of Youzhou to respond to the King of Han. β
Tian Yu has enough prestige to influence Youzhou, and another good recruit with Liu Bei is supervising the soldiers and horses of Qingxu Erzhou at this moment, and Zang Ba, the leader of the Xuzhou Army, is friendly with Liu Bei, and the Qingzhou Army is clamoring to leave Luoyang without authorization, and almost mutinies and rebellion.
Qingxu Jun's current state is very unstable, and Cao Pi does not dare to move or move Zang Ba.
As Liu Bei became more and more smooth, this combination gradually became a little sensitive during the Cao Cao period, and it has not been dealt with.
The lead was not the overseer who parachuted into Qingxu, but led the Qingxu army to fight a series of anti-bandit wars, and had military prestige in the Qingxu army.
If he joins forces with Zang Ba, it will be enough to control the Qingxu army from the Cao clan.
In particular, after Cao Cao's forced relocation of the people of Hanzhong led to the emptiness of the prefectures and counties along the way, the two prefectures of Qingxu were not included in the immigration route, so the army and the people were stable, and the government treasury had a certain amount of grain.
The matter of Cao Zhang in the west has not been digested yet, how can Cao Pi have the spare strength to provoke Qingxu in the east again?
The trick is not easy to handle, Tian Yu is relatively easy to handle, and he can't be killed, so he has to stuff Nanyang, which plans to give up, and Tian Yu chooses it himself.
Nanyang must give up, and after Zhang Xiu surrendered, he took the initiative to give up Nanyang and make it a buffer zone.
This is the strength of the defense line of Xiangyang and Hanshui, from the north and south of Hanshui to the Nanyang Basin, there is river water to transport grain, which takes a great advantage; And from Nanyang to the south of the Han River, there are no warships that can only stare dryly.
Seeing that Tian Yu's expression was shaken, Tian Pengzu said again: "When the King of Han arrives in Jiangling in March, my father must not hesitate. Otherwise, Wen's life will be changed in the elbow and armpit, and we will sell it for him. β
The surrounding staff and county officials knelt down on one knee and bowed down, as if they had agreed: "The King of Han is benevolent, and I also ask the prince of the government to change the banner of the Han King and support the Han family." β
Tian Yu looked around and looked at his son's anxious face, and naturally understood what they were thinking.
With the friendship with the King of Han, he was the second time to be a county guard in Nanyang, so he was qualified to be a bridge, so that Nanyang officials could quickly integrate into Liu Bei's system.
Only the county orders in each county are mostly transferred from other places, and they may resign or be expelled in the event of an incident.
"The heart of Nanyang Shimin is already known to the old man."
"Now the king of Han is short of food, and he also asks the kings to focus on reclamation. Only when the grain is sufficient, the army of the Han King can be stationed in Nanyang for a long time, and can also enter the Central Plains and Guanzhong. β
The attitude of the county officials from the Zong family and the Deng family was even stronger: "Why is the prince hesitating? If you are worried about Wen Zhongye, a certain person is willing to persuade Wen Zhongye to raise the banner of righteousness together. β
Deng Zhi and Zong Pre have gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, and there are Wancheng people like Li Yan, and Nanyang people have many fellow villagers and in-laws under Liu Bei.
Tian Yu just sighed, took off the seal seal around his waist and handed it to his son: "Send it to Guan Junhou in person, and ask for troops to be sent into Wan." β
Sending troops into Wan is just a ritual.
With the morale of the Wei army now, 350,000 to Nanyang is really not enough for the Jingzhou army to cut.
Wei Jun thinks so, Jingzhou Jun also thinks so, and Wu Jun also thinks so.
More coming...... Before the autumn harvest, the Wei army could not support an expedition of more than 50,000 men.
Unless you come to Nanyang County to eat people, you can fight.
When this kind of people's hearts fluctuated and the world was about to change, Cao Pi sent Runan Taishou Manchu to pretend to be a merchant traveler in Xuzhou and secretly arrived in Fankou.
Do you want to see a full favor?
Sun Quan was very hesitant, the last time he cooperated with Cao Cao, Cao Cao sold him after changing hands, otherwise how could Guan Yu return to the army quickly?
Be cautious in cooperating with the Cao family, this is a profound lesson, especially the wound is not yet healed, and 13,000 captives are spring ploughing for the Jingzhou army, just waiting for the critical moment of release after spring ploughing.
Now meet with Man Pet, whether or not he talks about the substance, if he is detected by the Jingzhou army...... The 13,000 captives were completely surnamed Liu.
Do you see it?
See?
Or is it missing?
Can't see it?
