Chapter 51: Peeping into the Merge
More than a month later, Xu Rong came to see Liu Ze, Liu Ze already knew that Gongsun Du was defeated and captured, and Xu Rong came to intercede. Liu Ze saw Xu Rong and asked with a smile, "I don't know what happened to General Xu?" Xu Rong said: "Rong and Shengji, fellow villagers in Liaodong, have known each other since childhood. Shengji was born as a small official, shrewd and capable, it is really rare, I hope that Ming Gong will look at the glory and thin face, and spare it without dying. "For the disposal of Gongsun Du, Liu Ze also thought about it, such an ambitious person, it is really not worry-free to use, he will jump out to make trouble at the first opportunity, Xu Rong has a way to govern the army, he is really a rare handsome talent, how can this face be given, Liu Ze looked at Xu Rong and asked: "Gongsun Shengji is a rare talent, General Xu has already spoken, I don't know what Shengji thinks?" Xu Rong saw Liu Ze giving face like this, and said: "Shengji is willing to follow Ming Gong, and it is enough for a small official." Liu Ze said with a smile: "Gongsun Shengji once assassinated the history of Jizhou, and guarded the county of Liaoxi, such a talent, how can he be used as a small official, Mr. Jia Xu is in charge of Cao affairs, and his affairs are busy, so let Gongsun Shengji be Mr. Jia Xu's deputy to assist the director, what do you think?" Xu Rong was overjoyed, Jia Xu and himself were old friends, and Gongsun Du was doing things under Jia Xu, so he could be wrong. Liu Ze has other ideas in his heart, Jia Xu is good at figuring out people's hearts and gaining insight into world affairs, how can Gongsun Du make any waves under his nose.
In the past month, Guan Yu and Yu Ban occupied Liaoxi and Changli, and the Jizhou army was stationed on the border of Beiping on the right. Because Xianbei has been decided, Gongsun Chan has no worries, sent troops to sweat Shanxi, and was addicted to it, almost killed the remnants of Hexi Xianbei and Tuoba Xianbei, plundered a large number of materials and returned to Youzhou, and had something in his hand, Gongsun Chan expanded his army vigorously, and the cavalry expanded to more than 300,000, and his strength swelled sharply. Hearing that Gongsun Du sent troops to Changli, Liu Ze sent a large army to destroy Gongsun Du, and he has not been very happy to see this surname in his heart, he is smart and exposed, and he takes himself very seriously, and he is secretly happy to see Gongsun Du's defeat. Now Liu Ze occupies western Liaoning, and has no intention of going west. Gongsun Zan can be said to have reaped too many benefits from the Jizhou army's conquest of Xianbei, but he was embarrassed or weighed it, and was a little afraid of the combat strength of the Jizhou army in his heart, so he had to let the Jizhou army camp in western Liaoning, and he set his eyes on Jizhou. Jizhou is densely populated and rich in products, Yuan Shao has just gained a firm foothold, and his troops are only more than 300,000, how can he compare with his own elite soldiers, so he decided to take Yuan Shao to the knife. Gongsun Chan was born in a local family, and Yuan Shao's family was born in the family of the fourth generation and the third duke, and Gongsun Chan couldn't get used to Yuan Shao's lofty appearance, and scolded fiercely in his heart, Grandma drop, Yuan Shao, my Gongsun Chan is here,
The war began, and the two states were once again plunged into war; Because of Jia Xu's letters, Li Wei and Guo Yan had a gap in their hearts, and the two warlords began to fight in the Guanzhong area; Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, strategist Chen Gong planned, taking advantage of Cao Cao's conquest of Xuzhou, to meet Lu Bu, for Yanzhou pastor, Lu Bu was overjoyed, sent troops to capture Yanzhou, occupy Puyang, Juancheng, Dong'e, Fan County relied on Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye three people to plot to defend, still in the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao returned to the army, and Lu Bu battle, began a tug-of-war for nearly two years. Jiangdong Sun Ce fought endlessly; Liu Biao in Jingzhou was busy quelling the chaos.
The Han Empire was in turmoil, and the people suffered, as the so-called: Xing, the people suffered; died, and the people suffered even more. Jizhou and the grassland have become a paradise on earth, and ordinary people have fled their homes in droves and embarked on a journey to find happiness.
Liu Ze looked at the people who flocked to Jizhou, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, blank eyes, and sadness in their hearts, and ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, relieve the people, and properly resettle. reminds me of Cao Cao's: the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The land of the Central Plains, the vast Shenzhou, my descendants of Yan and Huang, why are there so many disasters and difficulties?
Jizhou and the grasslands were fully mobilized, distributing food to the displaced people, rushing to build houses, and when the cold winter came, they slept in the wilderness, and only those who froze to death.
Liu Ze returned home with a heavy heart and sat in the study to ponder. How can we end the war this morning and let the people live a peaceful life as soon as possible? People in troubled times are not as good as Taiping dogs, Liu Ze deeply realized it. The princes are fighting, should they send troops at this time? With Jizhou alone, and the princes are confronted, will they join forces? What role can Shi A's spy room system play? Have the sworn brothers of Liujiacun and Taishan Zangba been affected? How much convenience can Tai Shici provide to the displaced people in Qingzhou?
Cai Wenji's body is inconvenient, childbirth is imminent, Wan'er and Shuang'er are waiting for her every step of the way, Diao Chan is often moistened by rain and dew, and she looks more and more bright and delicate, seeing Liu Ze nesting in the study, she was confused, holding a bowl of ginseng soup, knocked on the door, and walked in. Liu Ze woke up from his contemplation, saw Diao Chan, and a wave of warmth swelled up, and when Diao Chan put down the ginseng soup, Liu Ze picked up Diao Chan and sat on his lap, stroked Diao Chan's delicate body, and said: "Does Cicada want to be a husband?" Diao Chan pinched his powder fist and slapped Liu Ze, and said: "Seeing that you entered the study and didn't come out for a long time, I don't know why you are worried?" That's why I'll send you a bowl of ginseng soup to make up for it. Liu Ze said: "The empire is fighting everywhere, the people are displaced, and I was worried about the people in the world just now." Diao Chan saw that Liu Ze said solemnly, such a big matter, he couldn't intervene, so he said: "Lang Jun has compassion for the people, and the concubine knows it well." Lang Jun must also take care of his body in order to save the people from fire and water as soon as possible. Liu Ze laughed and said, "Is your husband's health bad?" Why do cicadas keep going night and night? Diao Chan was ashamed, and beat Liu Ze and said: "Wait for Sister Wenji to give birth to Lin'er and her body recover, see how to teach you a lesson?" Liu Ze laughed, drank the ginseng soup, and said: "The husband wants to discuss with Zhicai, let's go,"
In the council hall of the state pastor's mansion, Liu Ze instructed Dian Wei to stay away from the guards and not to disturb them if there was nothing to do. Dian Wei knew that Liu Ze was going to discuss a major matter with a few strategists, so he cheered up and arranged for the guards to go.
Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, and Le came in to the conference hall, Liu Ze opened the curtain covering the map, and said what he was thinking and thought, looking at the five people with blazing eyes, "The princes are fighting, the people are prolonged, the people are displaced, there are dishes on the face, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the people of the Han Dynasty, how bitter?" There are more than 500,000 Jizhou armor, Ze wants to save the people from fire and water as soon as possible, and the princes will teach me. The five of them digested Liu Ze's words for a while, then looked up at the huge map on the wall. As the chief strategist, Xi Zhicai first said: "Ming Gong, a large number of refugees have poured in Jizhou, and there is a lot of food and materials needed. Liu Ze knew that Xi Zhicai had misunderstood what he meant, and said: "Zhicai, if you don't send troops at this time, you and I will discuss, how to gain an advantage and wait for the opportunity?" As soon as he said this, Xun Yu immediately showed the demeanor of the strategic everyone, Xun Xun stood up elegantly, walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick, pointed to the map and said: "Jizhou and grassland have been integrated, Xianbei is dilapidated, unable to look eastward, and the rear of Jizhou is stable." At present, Yun Changtun soldiers in Liaoxi; Zilong Dan Khan trained troops under the mountain; Ziyi Qingzhou 200,000 people. The two states of Jiyou fought in the melee, Li Wei and Guo Yan fought in Guanzhong, Sun Ce fought in Jiangdong, and there was no war in Xuzhou. Jizhou settles displaced people, spends the cold winter, and stays until next year's autumn harvest, there is no shortage of grain and grass, why doesn't Ming Gong peep into the secluded and send troops to Xuzhou? Xun Yu's words, the eyes of several people present lit up, absolutely generous, this is to blossom on three sides, with the current strength of Jizhou, can it be done? Guo Jiale said: "Wen Ruo's vision is really good, but Jizhou divides the troops like this, it is difficult to guarantee the results of the battle." Xun Yu said with a smile: "With my Jizhou Tun grain, mixed with meat, the homeless people will be full of food in March and May, and their physique will inevitably change greatly. Jia Xu glanced at this gentle-looking young man, and sighed in his heart, it was really the back waves of the Yangtze River that pushed the front waves, and the back waves slapped the front waves on the beach. Liu Ze said shamelessly at this time: "Wen Ruozhen is my son." "The big strategy is set, and the details are all around the strategy.
The six of them discussed until late at night, Liu Ze was happy, and ordered Dian Wei to call for food and drink, and came to a veritable dinner.
