Chapter Twenty-Five: Reading Ten Thousand Books Without Food

"The prince was indeed prescient." It was Lou Gui who diverted Du Ji's attention, only to see his beard sneering, but he also seemed to have anticipated the battle situation thousands of miles away. "Last winter, when the battle plan came from there, we had a premonition when we talked about this battle...... Thinking that the hearts of the people of Liangzhou have not belonged to the Han Dynasty for many years, and Zhang Wen faced such a victory, not only did he not concentrate his forces to eat Han Sui, but his troops were divided into six routes, wouldn't he expose his flaws? ”

Du Ji's heart froze, and then he suddenly remembered that the words in front of him were casual and frivolous, so that Lou Gui and Lou Zibo, who had been vaguely despised in his heart along the way, were also a figure who could be counted in military strategy in the world...... He has been from Gongsun Xun for many years, and he has many achievements in planning on the battlefield, and is known as a military advisor.

"Once the troops are divided into six ways." Lou Gui continued to twist his beard and explained to the people around him. Then the overall victory or defeat will only hang on the victory or defeat of Yuzhong Han Sui all the way. In other words, if the official army of Yuzhong and South Korea is victorious, then the remaining official armies will win without a fight; And if the rebels are victorious, the Qiang people and the local wealthy clans in Liangzhou will inevitably rise up and fight back the official army. There is only one thing, I really don't know how the 30,000 officers and troops were defeated, and it is clear that as long as they rely on the superiority of troops, they can calmly besiege the city by dividing one part to cut off the opponent's supplies...... Could it be that these 30,000 people were cut off from food in reverse? ”

Everyone was also discussing, but from Lou Gui to Tian Yu, from Du Ji to Jingze, they couldn't help but look at Gongsun Xun with a normal face, hoping that he could explain a thing or two.

"In the final analysis, it's because the hearts of people in Liangzhou don't belong to Han." However, Gongsun Xun did not express his position on such a major event, but seemed a little unimpressed. "In short, there will be no outcome in the matter of Liangzhou for a while and a half. Just as the momentum of eunuchs in the DPRK and China will be difficult to restrain for a while and a half...... We don't have to think too much. ”

Everyone on the ridge hurriedly said yes.

"For the sake of today, we still have to do our own things." At this point, Gongsun Xun looked at Du Ji who had been peeking at him with a smile. "You like to say that Bohou has Xiao He's talent, I naturally believe it, but there is one thing recently, which is really difficult, and I just want to ask Bohou for a lesson or two."

Du Ji hurriedly retracted his heart, but raised his head slightly and asked: "Is it difficult for the prince to get along with the surrounding officials, clans, Haoyou, and civilians in Mintun?" ”

"It's okay for the government, it's mainly the Shi clan, the Haoyou, and the commoners, who are competing for the Mintun......" Gongsun Xun hurriedly explained, but he was stunned halfway through the words. On the way, Uncle Zibo has already told you? ”

"Some." Du Ji immediately replied.

"I didn't say it!" Lou Gui was speechless for a moment.

Kyozawa, who was still stepping on the mud, was stunned.

Gongsun Xun laughed for a while, but turned to look at Fu Zong Fu Gong.

"Uncle Zi only said that there are too many displaced people participating in Mintun now, and there is too little vacant land, so the prince has no choice but to scatter from Yuyang to Liangxiang to resettle the displaced people." After thinking about it for a while, Fu Zong immediately told the truth as it was. "If you think about it, Bohou is quick to think, and he draws inferences from one another, which is to see the difficulties of the prince from here."

Gongsun Xun smiled more and more, and then looked back at Du Ji again: "In this case, can Bohou have something to teach me?" ”

"Nope." Du Yi is still calm. "I served as the county officer, the county commander, and the county officer, and had a lot of administrative affairs, so I could think of the problem when I first arrived. However, it is precisely because of the many administrative tasks that I also know that different places and different situations are not allowed to speak indiscriminately without seeing the reality and hearing about things. ”

Gongsun Xun smiled even more happily: "If that's the case, how about Bohou go to Changping School to be a lecturer?" When you have something, come back to me. ”

This is the meaning of mutual investigation, and Du Yi immediately bowed his head and said yes.

Gongsun Xunfu looked at Jing Ze again, causing the latter to be nervous.

"If you are happy, go too," Gongsun Xun instructed after thinking about it. "Aren't you a family heirloom? Let's go talk about your family's "Jing's Yi", ......"

"Whoa." Kyozawa didn't know if it was good or bad, but he nodded quickly.

"And the princess." Gongsun Xunfu looked back at Fuzong again. "Spring ploughing is busy, but there is a shortage of people in school, you have to go to Changping to assist Ziheng in handling paperwork for me, and you also have to go to school to give lectures...... Nowadays, in Changping Private School, whether it is a local celebrity in Youzhou or my private family, that is, the state and county officials have to serve as lecturers. ”

Fu Zong naturally agreed, while Jing Ze and Du Ji couldn't help but glance at each other...... The two of them still don't understand that this lecturer of Changping Private School is afraid that he has the dual characteristics of Langguan and Doctor in Luozhong. And for those who are new to the city, this place is like a good place to go in and out.

The meeting on the ridge ended easily in a pleasant atmosphere, Gongsun Xun inspected the tun here, and entrusted the matter to Zaoyi, the person in charge here, and then went to the north tun of Yuyang City that Han Hao was responsible for before turning back to Changping.

At this time, Gongsun Xun finally knew the specific process of the defeat of the official army in Liangzhou.

It turned out that Lou Zibo was really right, that is, the officers and soldiers with superior troops were cut off by the rebels in turn!

It is said that the general Zhou Shen led an army of 30,000 and was ordered to go to Yuzhong City to recruit Han Sui, who had less than 20,000 troops. Sima Sun Jian, who was sent into it by Zhang Wen before, took the initiative to propose early, hoping to divide 10,000 troops to Sun Wentai, and go directly to the city outside Yuzhong City to isolate the rebel army's grain route, and then Zhou Shen himself led 20,000 soldiers behind him, while protecting the supply line, while forming a strategic deterrent.

And with this arrangement, if the rebels go out of the city for a decisive battle, then Zhou Shen can fight with Sun Jian in front and back, and the battle will be successful; And if the rebels do not move, then they can sit back and wait for the other side to run out of food and defeat themselves...... Anyway, the officers and soldiers are constantly supplied, while the rebels are incompetent.

However, Zhou Shen rejected Sun Jian's extremely safe suggestion in public, and publicly told the people around him that as a native of Liangzhou, he fought in Liangzhou, how could he let Sun Jian, a native of Yangzhou, take the lead?

Correspondingly, this general actually personally raised the whole army to Yuzhong City to confront Han Sui Bianzhang.

At the beginning, the situation was not bad, for the Han army, although the road was difficult, there was the Yellow River waterway upstream as a natural supply line, and for the rebels, the city was besieged and the grain road was cut off!

However, seeing that there was not much food left in the city, and most of the main force was trapped in Yuzhong City, Han Sui was desperate to survive, so he actually used a rather familiar move - he asked the small troops on the periphery to give up their efforts to restore the supply line, and instead relied on their familiarity with the terrain to go around behind the official army, cut off the Yellow River, and in turn cut off the grain route of the official army!

It turns out that with both sides losing supply lines, the local rebels, who are small in number, are more able to hold out than the outnumbered officers and soldiers from afar! However, in a few days, the Han army was in chaos first, and then Zhou Shen panicked and chose to pull out the whole army and return to the division, at this time, Han Sui and Bian Zhang, who had regained supplies, immediately pursued along the way, and the Han army was defeated!

Next, as Lou Gui said before, the hearts of the people of Xiliang do not belong to the Han, and most of them are actually watching, seeing that Han Sui is fighting back, and the Han and Qiang neutral forces in various counties of Liangzhou have also stabilized their positions and counterattacked the Han army...... The official army of the Sixth Route Army directly defeated the Fifth Road, and only one Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying camped with their backs to the river, and then built a dam to pretend to fish, paralyzing the Qiang people on the opposite side, so that they could secretly lead the army to cross the river from the river dam, and the whole division returned.

After this battle, Dong Zhongying alone preserved 30,000 troops, and there were still 50,000 or 60,000 people in the defeat of the remaining remnants, but the previous 100,000 troops fought fiercely for half a year, and they wasted money and wasted money for this, but now they have abandoned their previous achievements, and they are considered a complete defeat in the end.

Although the rebels successfully counterattacked, they had also suffered a major defeat before, and they were fighting in the territory and lacked military resources, so they had no strength to counterattack Hanyang, which was maintained by Dong Zhuo's heavy troops, and the situation in Liangzhou re-entered a stalemate.

It is said that now Liangzhou is owned by the official army in Hanyang County, Jincheng County is owned by the rebels, and the rest of Anding, Beidi, Wudu, Longxi, and Wuwei are in the big cities under the jurisdiction of the official army, but the countryside and tribes outside the city are all owned by the rebels.

"Sure enough, it's going to be consumed." In Changping Private School, Gongsun Xun, who had just returned, shook his head helplessly at this detailed information from the center's two younger brothers. "Although the world is strong and strong, but if you lose the hearts of the people, where will the soldiers be strong and strong?"

Lu Fan, Lou Gui and others, who were standing opposite Gongsun Xun to see this information, were also emotional, but Fu Zong was silent and did not move.

Gongsun Xun was curious for a moment: "Gongsun Xun has something to say?" ”

"There's something to say." Frustrated Zong Zhengse. "The prince once said that if Du Bohou has any gains, he can come to you...... And since the day before yesterday, they have been asking me when the prince will return. ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but be stunned: "I went to Yuyang from Liangxiang to say goodbye to this person, but I stayed there for seven days before and after, if it is counted from the day before yesterday, it is to pinch the head and remove the tail, and it will only be six or seven days for him to go to Changping...... Is there already a gain? ”

Lou Zibo and others also looked at each other.

However, Lu Fan was stunned for a while, and actually turned around and asked Fu Zong: "Gongyi, is it Du Ji Du Bohou who has been talking non-stop in your house for the past two days?" ”

Fu Zong immediately bowed his head.

Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui and others were even more inexplicable when they heard this.

"The prince doesn't know." Lu Fan also explained with a smile. "I haven't seen him for many years, and now he is helping me with my work, so I put him in the vacant room to my left when I arranged the house...... A few days ago, it was okay, but since the night before yesterday, some people have been talking about the gains and losses of some people......"

Gongsun Xun smiled dumbly.

On the one hand, he asked Fu Zong to remind him, General Wei, to summon him Du Bohou, listen to his opinions, and appreciate his ability, but on the other hand, he made a small trick and threw out his arguments in advance, so that Lu Fan, the general of Wei and the number one person in Changping when he was away, could hear his remarks in advance...... In this way, whether he came too late, or if the Frustrated Sect forgot to recommend him, it would not delay him.

Even darker, if the Frustrated Sect is a villain and is ready to use small means to steal his 'gains', it will only bring humiliation on himself.

Of course, Gongsun Xun is not unable to understand him, after all, these years are still about an identity and class, like him, who has been instilled with certain ideas since childhood, and it is really rare to be willing to be a corporal of courtesy...... There is one counted, and they are all amazing characters.

It is not unacceptable that some of his people have some petty means.

However, it has to be said the other way around, if this Du Yi is just ashamed and has no real talent, then this pretentiousness and cleverness will only quickly ruin his future.

All in all, it depends on what is in his stomach.

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun couldn't care about being tired, and he didn't ask what the level of Fuzong and Lu Fan was, so he got up straight and actually took the initiative to find this person.

In the afternoon, Du Yi had no classes, but he was studying in the library building of the private school, and he was different from Jing Ze, who came with him...... Jing Ze knows that his ability is insufficient, and he has no fundamental ability to rely on, so he has always been kind to others, and whenever he has free time, he goes to deal with all kinds of people in private school. However, Du Yi is recognized as a little arrogant, except for a few people who he thinks are key, and he has always been unapologetic.

However, even so, when Gongsun Xunfu came to look for him alone as soon as he returned to Changping, he was still a little shocked.

"Uncle, sit quietly, the princess said that you have gained, and please be sure to teach him bluntly." Seeing that there were few people in the building in the afternoon, and there was almost no one on the second floor where Du Ji was located, Gongsun Xun simply saluted respectfully, and then couldn't wait to get to the point.

When Du Ji saw the other party saluting, he couldn't help but get upset: "The prince treats people so sincerely, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I didn't do my best to deal with each other?" ”

Gongsun Xun sat down and meditated.

"I'll excuse you." Du Ji also sat back and was honest. "From the point of view, the prince is here, although everything seems to be going well, but there are hidden worries...... Of course, if it weren't for that, the prince wouldn't have asked me so before. ”

"So what do you think is the problem?" Gongsun Xun asked. "Who's in trouble?"

"The first question is simple, and you can know it after a little inquiry, and the latter question is the key, and it is also the real problem of this question." Du Bohou is also arrogant. "I've been here for a few days, and I've seen it clearly...... In the official mansion, it seems that it is okay, whether it is Guangyang, Yuyang, or Zhuojun, the chiefs and court officials in these places are willing to cooperate with the princes. This is not to say that they are willing, nor that they are willing to see the prince and prince under their rule, but that the prince has rank, reputation, prestige, financial resources, material resources, and military strength...... These people who have been officials for one term are just here to be officials, and they don't want to make more trouble, and they have no fundamental conflict with the prince, so they are by no means the real trouble. ”

"Not bad."

"Therefore, it is not these officials who are really dissatisfied because the prince and prince crossed the rules without authorization, but the local clan!" Du Yi laughed for a moment. However, they are only half-suspicious, half-pushing, half-obedient, and may support the prince's actions in the future...... As long as the world continues to be chaotic. ”

Gongsun Xun was silent.

"And then the people." Du Ji continued to laugh. "I can also see clearly that the reason why they have occasional incidents is not because of the opposition in customs or the competition for land. On the contrary, as far as I can see, it should be the envy of the local people for the simple administration and clean governance of Mintun, and the prince here, although he also agreed to pay taxes and public grain, but he only took as much as he wanted. ”

"This kind of thing in Mintun, with heavy taxes, strict control and restrictions on freedom, is actually not a long-term solution." Gongsun Xun sighed. "Sooner or later, sooner or later, they will have to be released, but the world outside is so chaotic, and the poor people are working hard, but they have shown their benefits."

"This leads to the fourth type of people, which is also something that the prince must watch out for." Du Ji suddenly looked solemn. "Youzhou Haoyou, although on the surface he bows down to the prince and marquis, it seems that no noise comes from their mouths...... However, households, population, and land are the foundation of their existence, and the actions of the prince and marquis will sooner or later arouse their dissatisfaction. These people, I can also see clearly, whether it is Youzhou or Yizhou, whether it is Hebei or Kansai, they are just brutal and short-sighted, if they are given the opportunity to peep, there will inevitably be repeated things! ”

"That's a good point." Hearing this, Gongsun Xun had already given Du Ji a good score, but he still chased after him. "But how to deal with the matter of Haoyou, or Haoyou, hukou, and population?"

"I have four strategies." Du Ji replied with his head held high. "If the prince can do it, he will definitely be able to suppress his generation!"

"I want to hear about it." Gongsun Xun became more and more interested.

"One is famous, two is real, three is bound, and four is killed!" Du Yi still spoke calmly.

Gongsun Xun smiled again: "Uncle Hou and speak slowly, my mother will come in two days...... This time, Mintun is all supported by the financial resources of Amway, you go and prepare first, get a piece of it out, and I have to tell her. ”
