Chapter 241: Trapped in a Lonely City
When Liu Yi rushed back, the time had already entered August, and he could clearly see that Liu Bei and Pang Tong, as well as Sun Qian and Jian Yong, had gained a lot of weight.
"So, this time I was summoned back to build temples in various counties and win the hearts of the people?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei a little speechlessly, the project here has just been completed, and a new one is coming?
"Bo Yuan should also know that Zhang Lu fooled the people with the way of ghosts and gods, and the people of Hanchuan mostly believed in his sect." Pang Tong smiled bitterly and nodded, this god's chatter is sometimes the most difficult to solve, you can conquer the city, but the people believe in this kind of thing, and they can't forcibly reverse it, one is not good, and it is even easy to cause a civil uprising.
"My lord, with all due respect." Liu Yi thought about it, but still looked at Liu Bei and said: "The miraculous effect of the temple and even various buildings built by the last general is not born out of thin air, as far as this people's heart is concerned, at least the people need to recognize the lord in their hearts, and this temple can play a role, but as Shiyuan said, the people are now resisting, even if the temple is built, I am afraid it will not be of much use." ”
The role of the attribute is to increase, but if it is zero, no matter how much the increase is, even if the increase is a hundred times, it is still zero, Liu Yi estimates that even if these temples are established, they can increase productivity and reproduction speed, but only in terms of people's hearts, you must first have the foundation of people's hearts.
"This is different from Jingnan at the beginning, when the land of Jingnan was first governed by the Cao army, the rights alternated, there will always be a lot of friction and filth, our army took advantage of the weakness to enter, and then the lord Guang Shi benevolence, is to be able to quickly enhance the people's hearts, but now the people of Hanchuan because of the solidity of the mountains and rivers, enjoy peace, our army is now living in Hanchuan, for the people of Hanchuan, but it is an invasion, in the next thought, at this time, first collect the people's hearts, and then talk about others."
Liu Bei and Pang Tong glanced at each other and looked at Liu Yi with a smile.
Belch......
Why do you suddenly feel a little weird in the atmosphere?
Liu Yi looked at the two vigilantly and chose to shut up.
"In fact, the Lord and the Lord have also discussed these matters." Pang Tong coughed lightly, looked at Liu Yi and said seriously: "But how to win the hearts of the people?" ”
How do I know this? Isn't the boss the best at this? Now ask me what I mean.
"Those who seek by the people ......" Jian Yong said on the side: "It is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, according to the foolish opinion, build water conservancy, do some practical things for the people, improve the lives of the people, and indeed win the hearts of the people." ”
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched, he looked at Liu Bei, and then at Pang Tong and Jian Yong: "The two gentlemen might as well speak up if they have something to say." ”
Pang Tong said with a smile: "The fish ponds, textile mills, pottery farms, etc. built by Bo Yuan when he was in Yueyang, in Bo Yuan's words, are self-contained, and can continue to create wealth, we think that for the benefit of the people, although they can't win the hearts of the people of Hanchuan as soon as possible, but they are better than having a solid foundation, so ......"
So I just finished this road project, and now I want to work on people's livelihood again?
Now in the nine counties of Hanzhong, Liu Bei has won seven counties, although the people's hearts are not attached, but the wealth of the seven counties is really into Liu Bei's pocket, although it is not much, but it adds up to more than 30 million coins alone, Liu Bei is now worried about how to use this money, Liu Yi's project has been built.
Since Liu Yi was put into Liu Bei's command, although he has been consuming a lot of money every year, Liu Bei can also realize the benefits, this kind of investment in himself and then continue to grow his own thoughts, but also Liu Bei and even Liu Bei's ministers gradually spread, therefore, Liu Bei hopes that Liu Yi can carry out construction in this Hanzhong, and put all the seized money into the construction of the entire Hanzhong, focusing on the busy farming season has passed, and the next winter is just to engage in this people's livelihood construction, which will take effect in the next year.
Liu Yi nodded silently and said: "This matter, the lord and you don't talk about it, I am also ready to mention it, but I think that the most important thing is the issue above the lord's policy, even if there is more construction for the benefit of the people, if you use evil laws, it will still be difficult to win people's hearts." ”
"What Bo Yuan said is good." Pang Tong nodded and said, don't look at Confucianism since Emperor Wu, but in the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was prosperous, but it also attached great importance to the law.
However, the promulgation and implementation of this decree also takes time, Liu Yi just put forward a concept, and seeing that Pang Tong and others were already prepared, he didn't say more.
"By the way, has Yang Ang's army surrendered?" His own matter is decided, even if Liu Bei is in a hurry, it is impossible for Liu Yi to drive people away immediately as soon as he comes back, Liu Yi also wants to rest and rest, and at this moment he chatted with everyone about the situation of the war in Hanzhong, counting the days, then Yang Ang should have come back a long time ago.
"Hey~" When Jian Yong heard this, he shook his head with some regret and said: "I arrived at Yangping Pass half a month ago, but after seeing that Yangping Pass changed hands, I didn't wait for Yang Song to go to say surrender, so I turned around and went to Ma Chao, thinking that I hoped to ask Ma Chao to help." ”
Sun Qian said with a smile: "Although Ma Chao is brave, but the general trend of the land in Guanzhong has been decided, Ma Chao has made a comeback this time, and I am afraid that he will inevitably end up defeated, but this person has a jackal heart, if he is defeated in the future, if our army has entered Shu, he may take advantage of the weakness to attack, and he needs to prepare early." ”
In terms of Ma Chao's performance during this time, Yongmeng is really brave, but his heart is also cold and ruthless, the kind that forgets his righteousness, if Hanzhong is defeated at that time, Liu Bei sends troops to Bashu, and Hanzhong is empty, Ma Chao is really likely to fight directly to occupy Hanzhong.
Liu Bei nodded silently when he heard this, although he had never seen Ma Chao and his person, but Ma Chao gave him the same feeling as Lu Bu, and even better than Lu Bu.
"If that's the case, subdue him, and then surrender, under the command of the lord, General Guan, General Zhang, and General Zhao are not weak, Ma Chao, the general of the defeated army, how can he be brave?" Pang Tong said with a smile when he heard this, although Ma Chao is powerful, but it has not reached the point where Lu Bu was so powerful that he was in the world, Liu Bei is here, there are many people who have the ability to suppress Ma Chao, if Ma Chao comes to vote, it will naturally be good to receive him, but if he has other thoughts, he just subdued it first, and then accepted it, so he doesn't have to worry about Ma Chao in the future.
Is Pang Tong so grumpy?
Liu Yi looked at Pang Tongyi's eyes, why is he as famous as Kong Ming, but his personality and style of acting are all over the world, Liu Yi is still thinking about how to tell this matter tactfully, how can he think that Pang Tong will directly say the connotation, how to say that he is also the future Five Tiger Generals, is it really good that you despise it so much?
"Let's not talk about these first, Bo Yuan is back this time, and the road to Jiameng Pass is dredged, which is also a happy event, how about setting up a banquet for Bo Yuan tonight?" Liu Bei waved his hand, but he really didn't take Ma Chao's danger to heart, and now it was Cao Cao who should have a headache instead of him.
Picking up the wind for Liu Yi is just an excuse, setting up a banquet is what Liu Bei really wants to do, looking at the current body shape of these people, it is estimated that in history, there is only one monarch and strategist who has beaten himself fat in war.
Liu Bei was happy here, but Nanzheng Chengzhong was not so cheerful.
Liu Bei has been here for two months, except for the time when Yang Renchi helped Chenggu, the two sides have fought each other, and basically have not seen any action, but the bad news keeps coming.
First Chenggu lost, and then Yang Song took people to Yangping Pass a few days later, Yangping Pass was gone, and the change of ownership of Yangping Pass directly led to the next Hanzhong counties have defected, to this day, still in the hands of Liu Zhang, there are only two counties left in Nanzheng and Xicheng, a few days ago Liu Bei sent someone to shoot in the letter, Yang Ang's army directly returned to Guanzhong to throw Ma Chao, although I don't know whether it is true or false, but it does have a huge blow to Nanzheng's morale.
Before, it was still united, and the atmosphere of sticking to Nanzheng has begun to become low, and Liu Bei still has no intention of attacking the city, and no one knows what he is doing now, but it is precisely because of this that Zhang Lu and the generals, down to the ordinary soldiers and the people in the city, are filled with an unspeakable uneasiness in their hearts, and even some expect Liu Bei to attack the city, at least this is better than everyone thinking about it.
It was late at night, but the lights were bright in the conference hall, Zhang Lu hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and the mental state of the generals in the hall was obviously not as good as before.
"Now that the situation has come to this, what do you do?" Zhang Luqiang fought and looked at the civil and military forces.
Yan Pu sighed and said: "Then Liu Bei is not in a hurry to attack the city, but he is constantly weakening the influence of our army in Hanzhong, before the land of Hanchuan, there was any wind and grass, our army can still know, but now except for this Nanzheng, what happened in the outside world, but I don't know anything!" In the long run, it's not appropriate! ”
Although Liu Bei was not in a hurry to attack the city, but he did not do nothing, in addition to recruiting a number of county seats, Liu Bei under the advice of Pang Tong, constantly weakened the connection between Nanzheng and the outside world, to this day, even the scouts did not dare to send them at will, with the sufficiency of troops in hand, Liu Bei has now divided the soldiers and horses into ideas, camped on all sides, formed a situation of encirclement on all sides, and blocked the contact between Nanzheng and the outside world.
"If it weren't for that Jansong villain, why wouldn't it be like this!" Zhang Wei hated the way, the fall of Yangping Pass is the key to reversing the situation in the entire Hanzhong, if Liu Bei tried his best to break through Yangping Pass, it would be okay, but the result was Yang Song's betrayal for glory, how can everyone accept it?
A group of civil and military officials are also saying a word to me, but no one can say a solution, basically complaining, complaining about Yang Song's betrayal, complaining about the lack of integrity in the counties and counties, but how to solve the current dilemma, no one can give an answer.
In fact, it is not impossible, now that he is desperate and lonely, trapped in an isolated city, surrender is actually a good choice, but Zhang Lu is obviously not interested in Liu Bei, or in other words, he is not interested in Liu Bei's position, so no one dares to bring it up.
Zhang Lu listened for a while, but the more he listened, the more upset he became, and finally stood up silently, snorted, and walked away, leaving everyone looking at each other.
