Chapter 104: Intimidation of South Korea
Xiong Huai was taken aback, and now that he is at war with Qin Qi at the same time, it has exhausted the Chu State, and then sent troops to attack South Korea, is Zhao Ju crazy?
Then I thought of the threatening words that Zhao Ju said, and reacted that this was to intimidate South Korea.
Xiong Huai asked Zhao Ju, "How to threaten South Korea?" ”
Zhao Ju replied: "King, please General Jing Que immediately return to the Fangcheng defense line, use the method of widely planting battle flags, to create a sign that the army of Chu is gathering in Luyang to cut off the return route of the Korean army, and then send an order to Deng Ye and the two places, and order the two cities to guard the passage between Chu and Korea, and then gather all the troops near the two places, and still use the method of widely placing battle flags to show the determination of our Chu State to attack Korea." ”
Luyang is the gateway of the Fangcheng defense line, Luyang can reach Yiyang in South Korea if it goes north, and now the Korean army enters the Danshui Valley of Chu State, once the retreat is blocked, then the Korean army can only go around to Qin State and return to China.
But does South Korea dare to do this?
Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "King, Luyang's army can try to cut off the retreat of the Korean army, but now that South Korea is heavily guarded in Yangzhai, I am afraid that the purpose of intimidating South Korea cannot be achieved with Deng Ye's troops alone." But we can transfer the troops and farmers from Deng Ye and Deng Ye to Chendi. ”
"A soldier with two farmers, then make some scarecrows, put the scarecrow in the clothes of the Chu army, use the method of spreading the flag, with the help of the cover of the flag, pick two scarecrows by one person, and create a sign that my Chu State has gathered 100,000 troops in Chendi, and then send scouts to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, to observe, and make a sign that Chu is going to attack Xinzheng."
Ejun thought for a while and said: "Great King, if it is just to intimidate Korea, then Weichen will ask for the order to spread the people of Edi, and the warriors who are over 14 years old and under 60 years old can still gather an army of 20,000 at present." ”
Dang Jun Xijun suddenly collapsed, and E Jun said that he wanted to destroy his family and relieve the difficulties, could it be that the two of them were watching from the sidelines?
"The king, please ask the king to give an order to the people of the party land (happy land)."
Looking at Dang Jun Xijun's painful expression, Xiong Huai shook his head.
Edi is close to Nanyang, close to Korea and Dengdi, and Dangdi and Xidi are in Jiangbei, far away from South Korea.
Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The hearts of the two virtuous kings are not known, but just one South Korea, there is no need for me to fight against the whole country of Chu." ”
Hearing this, Dangjun Xijun's face changed instantly, and he said with a regretful face: "Thank you for your love." ”
Xiong Huai smiled and said to Ejun: "The righteousness of Xianqing is not known, although this battle is just a threat, but from Hubei to Chendi, I am afraid it will also affect the people, and the widow is willing to exempt Hubei from paying tribute for two years, with the righteousness of Xianqing." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the king of Chu couldn't directly intervene in the people of Hubei, Xiong Huai would be willing to directly exempt the people of Hubei from taxes for two years.
It's a pity that the people of Hubei belong to the king of Hubei, not to the king of Chu.
Therefore, the king of Chu can only reward the king of E, exempt the king of Hu from paying tribute to the king of Chu, but cannot reward the people of the land of Hu.
The king bowed down and said: "The king is merciful, and the minister is deeply moved, and he is willing to exempt the people of Hubei from taxes for two years to show the king's benevolence." ”
Xiong Huai nodded, Ejun was really loyal.
But after hearing Ejun's statement, Xiong Huai came up with another idea, since he has decided to intimidate South Korea, why not do enough tricks, recruit all the people in Deng and Chen, and gather hundreds of thousands of troops to scare South Korea!
Immediately, Xiong Huai was taken aback by his own thoughts, it was too crazy, if he really did this, this kind of reckless military thing would probably be sprayed to death by the world.
But after thinking about it, this is not really a war, but just a national fitness campaign.
Anyway, now that the grain has been harvested and is about to enter the winter slack time, there is no major event for the people.
Perhaps, we can also use this incident to give the people a great benefit, take the opportunity to establish prestige among the people, and prepare for the next change.
As for the benefits, if you can't ask South Korea, then you can only give it from yourself.
Xiong Huai thought of taxes.
Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "According to the policy of the ministers, intimidate Korea, send an order to Deng Ye and the two cities to defend, recruit troops to Chendi, order Chendi to defend the city, and requisition all the local people over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 to prepare for an attack on the Korean capital. ”
"It was also ordered that the people of Deng Ye and the two places should be exempted from the tax of the two places as long as someone from the family arrived at Chendi, and if no one participated in the war, the tax exemption would be one year as a reward for the people of the two places. It gave the people of Chendi two years of tax exemption to comfort their hearts. ”
"In addition, the common people (savages) of Chen Di are allowed to participate in the war, and all the common people who participate in the war will be exempted from tax for the whole family if one person participates in the war, which is equivalent to the treatment of a countryman, and is exempt from taxes for two years."
Conscripting the countrymen is a warrior, and conscripting a savage is called labor, and the savage has no right to participate in the war, and it is not considered a military merit.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer savages in the Chu State, and the same is true for other countries.
And in the Qin State, after the law was changed and the fields were divided, there were no savages, but there were still people in the Qin State who did not have the right to participate in the war, that is, the people who had just joined the Qin State from other countries, they could only farm and did not have the right to participate in the war.
If it weren't for the fear that the pace would be too big and it would be easy to pull the eggs, Xiong Huai would have wanted to directly turn the Shu people of Chen Di into Chinese people.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the account were frightened.
Seeing that Shangguan Doctor Zhaoju Chen Zhen had the intention of admonishing, Xiong Huai immediately stood up and drew the sword on his waist, split the wooden case in front of him in half with a sword, and said loudly: "King Han actually teamed up with the Qin State to sneak attack my Chu State, it is simply too deceitful, and the widow wants to fight with Korea, and he wants to scare the King of Han to death in one fell swoop." ”
Seeing that Chen Zhen still had the intention of admonishing, Xiong Huai immediately asked Zhao Ju: "Chen Di's intimidation of South Korea, Chen Dicheng cannot be in charge, and he needs an important minister, I don't know who Xianqing can." ”
Zhao Ju thought for a while and said, "King, I heard that Ling Yin Jingli is already on his way back to Yingdu, and for such a major matter, the minister thinks that Ling Yin must be done." ”
Chen Zhen saw that Zhao Ju pulled Jing Carp out, opened his mouth, and retreated.
Now that the three of Zhaoju, Chen Zhen, and Qu Yuan are in the tacit understanding stage, it is better not to break this tacit understanding for the time being, not to mention that this time the King of Chu just wants to scare South Korea, and he is not really going to war.
Doctor Shangguan opened his mouth, but did not say anything against it.
Chen Di is an important town, and the minimum number of people can be levied 100,000 people, but if the savages are involved, then the total number of people requisitioned will be conservatively estimated to be more than 200,000, plus the 20,000 people of Ejun, this is 220,000 people, if you count the army of Chen Di and the people of Deng Ye and the past, then there will be a minimum of 250,000 troops, so many people get together, it is really necessary to Ling Yin.
Xiong Huai sighed, probably his own Ling Yin is really going to be abolished by himself, it seems that since he took office, except for giving Zhaoyang a nickname, he has not done a single thing that Ling Yin should do.
Then agreed: "Yes, Ling Yin Lao Cheng is a stable minister, and he should be able to accept this heavy responsibility." The herald ordered Yoon Kyung-ri to rush to Chendi immediately and prepare to intimidate South Korea. ”
