Chapter 737: Thinking about the long term
Approaching the end of the month, Tian Xin couldn't wait for the news of Pang Feiyan's birth, so he had to set off according to the agreed period.
The eldest is about 12 months pregnant; Later, Guan Ji improved her physique by two points, and she was only eleven months old when she was pregnant with the second child...... If this is extrapolated, Pang Feiyan's due date should be longer.
Putting aside family affairs for the time being, Tian Xin led more than 2,000 people to ride into Huashan County, Hongnong County, and headed towards the Sunset Pavilion.
Yu Shifang waited to greet him with the Huashan County Order at the boundary of Hongnong County, and there was a prepared car, and Tian Xin boarded the car.
There was a black pottery brazier in the car, and Tian Xin saw that the charcoal was burning vigorously, so he took off his cloak and asked casually, "How is the area around the Sunset Pavilion?" ”
Yu Shifang spread out the map on the table and said: "Gongshang, the Sunset Pavilion is in the west of Henan County, south of Gucheng. The Wei people ceded Gucheng according to the agreement, and Jiang Dudu had already led three battalions of officials to settle in. According to Jiang Dudu's investigation, the Wei army in Henan County was about 10,000 people, led by Zhang He. ”
"In addition, his great Sima Man Boning supervised 10,000 people to be stationed in Tun Mengjin, and Qin Lang's department was stationed in Tun Xingyang."
In addition to the Tiger Pass, the Wei army currently controls a Xingyang, and other Mi, Jing, Xinzheng, Yangwu, and Zhongmu counties have taken the initiative to give up.
Tian Xin has seen many times the detailed map of Luoyang to the level of the Lishe, and the Sunset Pavilion is the necessary place for Luoyang officials to pass through when they are released to Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Yizhou, and is located forty miles west of Luoyang.
It belongs to Henan County, and is only three miles away from Henan County, separated by a river; It is six or seven miles away from the valley city in the north, and there is also an artificial canal in the middle.
There is Kuai Township in the south two miles of the Sunset Pavilion, which is where Cao Pi camps at present.
In the south of Kuaixiang, it is a wide water, with the current temperature, the flow of the water, the surrounding rivers and canals will freeze, and the water will not have obvious icing.
In the Later Han Dynasty, Hangu Pass belonged to Hongnong County, which was the easternmost part of Hongnong County; Out of Hanguguan, it is Gucheng County of Yin, Henan.
As a sincere gesture for this meeting, Cao Pi had already handed over the old and new Hangu Passes to Yu Shifang.
Now that the Hangu Pass is fully controlled, there is no road obstacle to the capture of Luoyang.
How to deal with Luoyang is a tricky problem after all.
He has already recovered Xijing, and although he has recovered the eastern capital, he has made great achievements...... It's not that bad.
I don't care who Luoyang belongs to, what I care about is the army and population in the hands of Cao Pi, Zhang He, and Manzhong. With the emptiness of Guanzhong, after replenishing this group of population, it will be able to enrich all aspects and dilute the population of the Han Dynasty.
After the population of Luoyang and part of the population of Nanyang moved into Guanzhong, it could not only dilute the proportion of the population of Han Gu, but also accelerate integration and digestion; It can also enrich the border land and increase the efficiency of ore mining.
Whoever wants Luoyang to take it away is, the population here in Luoyang is ...... Must be held in the hand.
and Cao Pi, it's time for him to be blinded.
For as long as he can remember, the world has been chaotic, and he has never experienced the way of peace.
In a chariot behind him, Xiahou Shang was wrapped in a sheep's fur, looking sluggish because of his focused thinking.
No one thought that the emperor who could not get carried away and usurped the Han dynasty would fall to this point in front of him.
The good foundation fell apart, and I was disheartened, and I had nothing to love.
On his side, Cao Aya, Xiahou Xuan, and Meng Wu were also silent, depressed, and had their own concerns.
Speechless all the way, on the other side of the west of Huashan County, outside the Tongguan City, forage field.
The county lieutenant Jiang Wei is waiting here, and it is naturally a very important thing to entertain the fodder for the horses of the Su Wei's pro-army.
It's hard to check every bunch of hay to avoid getting hit.
For example, when the forage enters, in order to make up the portion, the grass bundle is deliberately mixed with other dry and hard small shrub branches.
A bunch of grass is thirty pounds of grass dried in the sun; It is not easy to harvest and dry, so it is normal to mix other branches in it.
But along the way, there were personal riders sent by Tian Xin early, and the forage field was directly sealed, so as not to make things difficult for the local officials.
Jiang Wei was somewhat anxious, although the forage acceptance, storage, and preservation had nothing to do with him, the new county lieutenant. But now that he is a county lieutenant, he should take care of these things, and if there is a mistake, he will be the first person to be responsible.
This kind of dismissal for official duty is not uncommon, and it is very common in the Han Dynasty.
Even if Yu Shifang is very sympathetic to his plight, he will first cut the official and then award another official to compensate; Of course, the new county lieutenants are all held accountable and lost their officials, and the old county lieutenants who were originally in charge of actual affairs cannot escape.
Just when Jiang Wei was worried, Tian Xin's guards personally rode the vanguard to Tongguan, and there was a well-built camp outside the city.
It was here that the Han servants were assembled and armed; It is also here that they disarm and return to their respective homes.
The forage field had already been taken over by the pro-army, and Jiang Wei could only take the temporarily recruited county soldiers to assist in carrying the forage, and there was no room for him to speak.
Not long after, Tian Xin's car arrived at the military camp outside Tongguan Pass, he got off with Yu Shifang and Xiahou Shang, and walked at the Yellow River where Weishui joins, looking at the north bank, which is Fenglingdu.
Tian Xin held a telescope to observe and calculate, this telescope has a simple scale, with his poor scientific knowledge reserves, he can judge the width of the river to some extent.
I felt that it was feasible, so I said to the people who followed me left and right: "Du Ji is a famous minister in Guanzhong, and he pays attention to the people's livelihood all his life. This public has an idea to build a bridge in Fenglingdu to connect Guanzhong and Hedong. I thought it was very doable. ”
Repairing the bridge is the time when Hedong is too shou Zhao Yan to hang his neck.
Yu Shifang looked at it for a long time, and the telescope handed by Tian Xin also pretended to look at it, the first time he saw this thing, he couldn't see anything while being surprised, so he said: "Zhao Yan is stubborn, I'm afraid he will try his best to obstruct it." Hedong is in the upper reaches again, and if it is slightly damaged, the bridge building will be half the effort, and the results will be low. ”
"If he obstructs it, I will send troops to Hedong, just to sharpen the minions of the officials."
Tian Xin gathered the cloak that was blown crooked by the river wind, and looked back at Yu Shifang: "If you fight this country, you will move more Shihu from Hebei to Hedong." ”
Yu Shifang suddenly realized, and then picked up the binoculars to observe the other side, focusing on observation, and spoke slowly: "Lord, but are you worried about the imperial court surrendering?" ”
"Well, that's a concern."
Tian Xin asked again: "What do you think of Brother Boren?" ”
Xiahou Shang took two steps forward with a rattan cane, squinting at the river wind: "Gong Chen, this plan is very clever." ”
If Cao Pi, the culprit of the usurper of the Han Dynasty, died, the ministers of Wei, who had long been repentant, persuaded the prince of the prison state to ask the Han to surrender and ask for guilt...... Isn't that a very normal thing?
Therefore, it is necessary to create border friction, first force Yedu to send reinforcements to Hedong, and increase the bargaining chips in the hands of Cao Zhen and Zhao Yan.
Hedong is related to the survival of the Wei State, and the Yedu side can only spare no effort to support it in order to hold this bridgehead.
The main force of Sima Yi's Youyun Six Towns cavalry army was still in the hands of Yedu, and the Han army in the four states of Kwantung did not dare to act rashly, so they could only sit back and watch the war in Hedong gradually escalate.
So the best thing to do is to...... Recruit the Wei State and strive to get as much Wei territory as possible in one go.
The surrender of Wei was a very serious political event.
If the handling is serious, the Wei people will not dare to surrender; If it is handled lightly, it will fail to satisfy the old ministers and ministers, and it will greatly disappoint the people's hearts and cause serious ideological turmoil.
But...... In order to contain himself and continue the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, he is almost the same as the Wei people, and he is a rebellious minister and thief with bad intentions.
Driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger, co-opting the weak party to contain the strong party, no matter how you look at it, it is a normal court method.
Therefore, we have no choice but to guard against it, and we must be prepared for war.
If there are really signs of this, we must tear off the territory west of Taihang Mountain.
At that time, an empty Hebei, what is the point of the court holding it?
As far as the proportion of Han and Hu population in Sima Yi is concerned, it can still be suppressed now, how can it be suppressed in twenty or thirty years?
