Chapter 663: The Best Result
Sima Yi's death did not cause too many waves, after the initial anger, more people chose to compromise, after all, the Great Wei is gone, and now the Great Wei ministers naturally have to consider the future, although some people want to take revenge, but the result of Sima Yi's remuneration may be the destruction of the entire family, and the most important thing is that now in Yecheng, the two principals of the Sima family, Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, are dead, the so-called people go to tea and cool, in front of the former friendship and their own net worth, there are not many people who are willing to stand up after all.
The army calmed down faster than expected.
Next, it was the issue of incorporation, Liu Yi chiseled through the city gate, ordered the troops in the city to go out of the city in batches to disarm, and then waited for the arrangement, until all the Wei troops were unarmored and out of the city, Liu Yi ordered Wei Yan to enter the city again to inspect again, and then he personally entered the city and accepted Cao Fang's surrender.
A ten-year-old child looks like a little adult, at least from his expression, he can't see his joy or anger, and such a little guy is even more panicked.
Taking over Yecheng, the first thing to do is to appease the people, let go of the water source, and at the same time transfer a large amount of food from the surrounding areas to help the people of Yecheng, Yecheng was trapped for a year, no matter how bitter, those families still have surplus food in their hands after all, and the real ones who suffer are still these people who live at the bottom, small households, there is not much savings, and when the war comes, the ability to resist risks naturally cannot be compared with those families.
According to preliminary calculations, this year or the second half of this year, there are nearly 30,000 people starving to death in Yecheng, and in fact, if the grain of the major families in Yecheng and the palace is taken out, this kind of problem will definitely not occur, but if you blame these people for this, there is no reason, the food is people's, and it is naturally a benevolent act to take it out and distribute it to the people, but if you don't take it out, it seems that you can't blame others.
Disaster relief can not be completely relieved, it just so happens that Liu Yi is now dealing with the infrastructure construction of Jizhou and Youzhou, which requires a large number of manpower, these Wei troops who have just surrendered after asking the imperial court, they are sent to various places to start repairing bridges and paving roads, building sites, and at the same time, Yecheng also needs to be renovated, and the previous city wall does not need to be demolished, just Yecheng as an important town in Jizhou, for expansion.
"Sikong!" Wei Yan came to Liu Yi's side, took the two boxes and ordered someone to bring them up: "This is the head of the Sima clan and his son, and the Sima clan has been wiped out by the Huang Hao clan. ”
"Sima's family." Liu Yi nodded, looked at Wei Yan and said, "Send someone to Chang'an to report this matter to Your Majesty, the Sima family is destroyed, I am worried about the Sima Master, if you can...... Let's kill them all. ”
"Whoa!" Wei Yan agreed, and then said with some hesitation: "Why did the governor treat the Sima family like this?" ”
"The large and small scholar clans of the Wei Dynasty are all dominated by the Sima clan or Sima Yi, they are here, even if these families return to the Han Dynasty, they can still be twisted into a single unit, get rid of the Sima family, these scholars of the Wei Dynasty are a plate of scattered sand, not to be afraid." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"It's better to see far." Wei Yan nodded and said, "The last general will do it." ”
Watching Wei Yan leave, Liu Yi walked out of the lobby silently, looking at the boundless sky, his heart was indeed a little empty, the demise of the Sima family also represented another meaning in Liu Yi's heart, and he was indeed a little worried that the Sima family would gradually seize power after surrendering to the Han Dynasty.
Although with the current situation, there is not much room for the Sima family to play, but this is a knot, Liu Yi does not want the regeneration of the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty that he has worked hard to create all his life, and the world is initially decided, and there should not be too much energy wasted on such things as fighting for power and profit, and there are still many things that have not been done.
But now the demise of the Sima clan also made Liu Yi suddenly feel an indescribable sense of loneliness.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xiahou brothers, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and now Sima Yi and Sima Zhao, those names they are familiar with are constantly disappearing, and there may be more in the future.
Shook his head, put these thoughts aside, the door of the steam era has been half opened by himself, although the world has been preliminarily decided, although Dongwu has not yet recovered, but it is only a matter of time, depending on the attitude of the imperial court, what I have to do now is to talk about the era to completely advance to the steam age, so that Huaxia stands on the top of the world, since you come to this world once, you should always leave something.
It is time to start the construction of the train in the Western Regions, but before that, the infrastructure projects on this side of the Central Plains must be completed.
In the following days, as Cao Fang was sent to Chang'an, the ministers of the Wei Dynasty were also redistributed, and Liu Yi was named Taifu, but the construction of the world was still presided over by Liu Yi, except that the status was equal to the two phases, for Liu Yi, there were not many changes.
However, Liu Chan did not withdraw his troops, after the complete recovery of the Wei Dynasty, in June of the fifth year of Yanxi, Liu Chan took Liu Cheng as the commander, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Zhao Guang as the generals, and waved 50,000 troops to be stationed in Shouchun, and at the same time the Jiangxia naval army began to cruise in the Panyang area.
This battle can be regarded as the younger generation of Han training, whether it is Liu Yi or Pang Tong, or Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, the older generation of generals did not participate in the war, and the younger generation completely presided over the battle.
From July to August, the two sides fought the most fiercely, Liu Cheng and Lu Xun fought no less than ten times in the area of Tanglin Pavilion, Lu Xun was ordered to block the Han army that was like a bamboo, and almost let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei be wiped out, and their ability was naturally good.
Liu Cheng joined the army as a young man, fought in the northwest at the age of twelve, made many military exploits, was promoted step by step from a pawn to a cavalry captain, and then followed Pang Tong to fight in the Central Plains, but also led an army alone, with a weak attack on the strong, Cao Shuang's 300,000 army was almost defeated by Liu Cheng alone, especially in the past two years, fame, and the Central Plains.
The duel between the two was also quite exciting, in the case that the gap between the forces was not large, Liu Cheng took advantage of the armor to gain a slight advantage, but Lu Xun also borrowed the equipment he got from the Han Dynasty back then, and the most important thing is to use the water battle, and was not completely crushed by Liu Cheng.
Beginning in September, Soochow contracted its defensive line, abandoned Guangling, and retreated into Jiangdong in order to rely on the Yangtze River moat to defend against the Han army.
Liu Cheng did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but began to build a water village in Guangling, and at the same time ordered the Jiangxia Navy to go east along the river and confront Lu Xun across the river in the Jianye area.
Compared with the battle of destroying Wei, this battle is much more beautiful in terms of ornamentation, both sides have their own tricks, lure each other, temptation, the means used during this period of time, can be said to be a textbook battle, and the land of Jiangdong, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, although the ship designed by Liu Yi is strong, but it is difficult to sail into these waterways, and Lu Xun nailed a large number of wooden stakes along the river to make it difficult for the Han navy to directly dock.
And Liu Cheng did not rush forward, but chose a steady and steady way to gradually eat away at the vitality of the Wu army.
From September onwards, the two sides fell into a standoff, and after abandoning Guangling, the Wu army, which was guarding Jiangdong, had a geographical advantage, and although the Han army was able to get close to the riverbank, the Han army's warships could not get close because of the large number of sharpened pillars nailed underwater, and thus lost its own advantage.
"Zixin, if it goes on like this, you can't get over it at all!" Guan Xing came to Liu Cheng's side and looked at the arrow tower and beacon tower on the opposite bank, this kind of battle is not a matter of numbers, but most of the Han army is not used to water warfare, and the Han army that is proficient in water warfare is also available to the Jingzhou water division, but the river is blocked by Lu Xun with this method, and it is impossible to pass at all.
"Almost." Liu Cheng sat at the highest point of the ship, looking at the Dongwu Water Village in the distance, and said silently in his heart.
"What?" Guan Xing was puzzled.
"Since the year before last, Sun Quan has begun to continuously send the population of Eastern Wu to Yizhou by boat, don't you know?" Liu Cheng looked at Guan Xing suspiciously.
"This ......" Guan Xing's eyelids jumped, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "I really haven't heard of it." ”
"Lu Xun is stalling for time." Liu Cheng looked at the water village in the distance and said, "I think it won't be long before this is an empty camp." ”
"We're just watching?" Guan Xing looked at Liu Cheng puzzled.
"Since crossing the river, Lu Xun has only defended but not attacked." Liu Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this: "A person like him chooses to only defend and not attack, and it is not easy to attack him." ”
Is it reasonable, just like Liu Yi chose to only defend and not attack, even people like Sima Yi have no choice, Lu Xun completely gave up the opportunity to attack and only sought self-protection, Liu Cheng did not take Lu Xun when the weapon could not be crushed like the Wei army.
"So we're just going to look at it?" Guan Xing frowned and said, their mission this time is to force Dongwu to surrender, and now Sun Quan is leaving, what kind of situation is this.
Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "It's useless to be anxious, even if you attack strongly, our army will suffer heavy losses, withdraw the defense on the riverbank, see if you can attract Lu Xun to take it lightly, if Lu Xun comes to attack, he will inevitably dismantle those wooden stakes, and then our army's naval division can take advantage of the situation to attack in." ”
"And what if he doesn't attack?" Guan Xing felt that this method was not very reliable, and everyone made it clear that they were leaving.
"Then we can only wait for a few more months, and then attack Jianye after the beginning of spring!" Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Sun Quan can go, but it can't pull the entire Dongwu people away, what we want is the land of Jiangdong, the population of Jiangdong, if they want to leave, in fact, it is also a good thing for my Han, but it would be a pity if Lu Xun and his son left." ”
Guan Xing nodded, Lu Xun is indeed a good commander.
"Withdraw the troops first, and see how Lu Xun reacts!"
"Whoa!"
……
A few days later, in the Jiangdong Navy camp, Lu Kang came to Lu Xun with a letter, handed the letter to Lu Xun and said, "Father, it's the letter sent by Liu Cheng." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xun took the letter and looked at it silently, for a long time, Fang Cai shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Liu Boyuan is a genius, but his son is a genius!" ”
"Father, but you want to surrender?" Lu Kang looked at Lu Xun suspiciously.
"Well, but it's a little different, let go of King Wu and introduce you and my father and son to the court, Young, what do you think?" Lu Xun smiled and looked at his fifteen-year-old son.
"The child thinks it's the best outcome." Lu Kang was silent for a moment and said: "The child doesn't want to go overseas and never return to his hometown for the rest of his life. ”
"Yes, this is the best result......" Lu Xun nodded silently and looked at the other side.
