Chapter 950: The First Emperor of the Ages
Liu Yi's status and prestige are increasing day by day after he ascended to the throne of King Yan, and he is in charge of the country as the uncle of the Han Emperor, and now it has been nearly two years since the death of the emperor. There was a saying that the children of the Liu clan were not mentioned by too many people at this time, there is only one reason, in the hearts of these loyal ministers and fierce generals under Lang Sheng, it is only a matter of time before King Yan is away from ascending to the throne, and they will never accept the establishment of a new monarch, and these people are controlling all the military and political affairs of Yandi, and the propaganda mouthpiece is also in their hands, and it is not difficult to explain that no one has a beak on this topic.
When Lang Sheng's status is high to a certain level, some things are inevitable, don't say that this is what he thinks in his heart, even if he doesn't have this intention at all, he will be pushed to the throne of this symbol of the highest power by his subordinates! With him as the core, a powerful vested interest group has been formed, and the advance and retreat of King Yan is no longer his personal matter, but is related to the gains and losses of thousands of people. Compared with Cao Cao, the king of Wei in another time and space, Liu Yi obviously has an obvious advantage in origin, and the death of Emperor Xian is another favorable condition, so it is no wonder that others use this to attack.
Speaking of character, King Yan's four major military divisions are the most straightforward in terms of drama Zhicai, and he is from a poor family, in his heart, the desire to let Liu Yi be on the throne is extremely strong, Guo Jiajia is a child of the family, although Zhang Hu is a poor family but his personality is more introverted, although in the minds of many people, there is not much difference between King Yan and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but if you want to be justifiable, you must have a person with a convincing prestige and status to take the lead in asking for it, and there is no doubt that Liu Yi's drama Zhicai who has been with him for a long time is the best candidate.
Half a year ago, Zhicai really gave King Yan a secret letter, which has already indicated the heart of letting Liu Yi inherit the throne, the sky can not be five days and the country cannot be without a king, if King Yan is on the throne, the military morale of the army and people of Yandi will definitely have a huge effect on the morale of the army and the people of Yandi, and the ministers under his command will also be more desperate, which will definitely be beneficial to the battle to dominate the world in the future, and whether it is origin, status, fame, or Liu Yi, he will no longer think about being a second person! The letter was reported entirely in his own name, and he knew the importance of the matter, and he did not want to involve too many other factors in it.
After receiving Zhicai's performance, King Yan specially invited the opera military master into the mansion and the two discussed for several hours, during which no one knew what the two of them talked about, but from the subsequent situation, it was obvious that Liu Yi rejected Xi Zhicai's proposal! In his heart, it is not yet the time to be the emperor, although his strength is strong, and he has reached the level of half of the country, but it may not be able to exceed the sum of the three heroes in the south, ascend the throne and dominate the world, Liu Yi is more concerned about the latter, when this great cause is not completed or the overall situation is undecided, he is really not uncommon with this false name. Ideally, when the Yan army's iron cavalry stepped on every inch of the Han Dynasty's territory, eliminating all possible threats around him, and ascending to the treasure again under the expectation of the public, it would not be in vain for him to cross a battle.
Liu Yi will not say anything "if the destiny of heaven is in me, I am willing to be the king of Zhou Wen", he knows very well what he wants in his heart, ascending the throne and becoming the emperor will never be the end of his life, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that it is a new starting point, he wants to establish a Han empire that has never appeared in history, it will be a rich, strong, advanced, and vast country, the continent and the ocean will leave the mark of my China, only by doing these one by one, can he snatch the title of the first emperor of the ages from the hands of Qin Shi Huang! Record your reputation and deeds in the annals of Chinese history forever!
Of course, there is another person in this world who is most concerned about whether Liu Yi is the emperor or not, and he is secretly building momentum for this matter, this person is of course Liu Huan, the son of King Yan today. Only when his father ascends to the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor can his status go further and become the crown prince, and then he will be under one person and above ten thousand! And judging from his father's trust and cultivation of him at the moment, he is the most likely to become the supreme power holder of this powerful empire in the future, and now the situation is getting closer and closer to the goal in his heart, what he needs to do is to continue to stabilize his position, and this time the king of Yan led the army to let him govern the Yan land is the best opportunity!
During the period of time when King Yan went on the expedition, Liu Huan's diligence and maturity and stability far beyond his years won the favor of many officials, and among them, Tian Yu was the one who consulted with him the most. Liu Huan knew that if he wanted to achieve his goal step by step, first of all, the decisive battle in the Central Plains in front of him would be won, and his father would do his best to do a good job in logistics, and at this time, Tian Jiming, the logistics minister of the Yan Army, became extremely important in his heart.
I have to say that the strict tutoring since childhood, the experience in the army and hard study have made Liu Huan grow up very fast in all aspects, and in the exchange with Tian Yu, he also put forward many effective suggestions for logistics, the accumulation of two years of strategy has made Yandi extremely rich in various resources, and it is necessary to fully reflect these advantages on the battlefield through precise coordination and arrangement. The Yandi Reserve carried out the first general mobilization on the premise of ensuring that production was not affected, and the two armies of Longxiang and Agni, which suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Qingzhou, relied on it to be quickly replenished, not only in terms of materials, but also in terms of soldiers, so that King Yan could not worry about it.
The people of Yandi showed great support for the great war launched by King Yan, which was not only due to the prestige that Liu Yi had built up among the people for many years, but also a large part of the credit to the propaganda department of Yandi, among which Xiang Lang, Yang Xiu, Chen Lin, Liu Yu and others were all dedicated. As this new department continues to play a huge role, their position in Liu Huan's heart is also becoming more and more important, and the above four people, except for Chen Lin, can be said to be the right-hand men of the prince.
Putting aside the affairs in Yandi for the time being, returning to the Yanzhou battlefield, Guo Jia took advantage of the interlude ordered by King Yan to slow down the siege of the city, and the propaganda offensive launched was still in full swing. When the tactics were first discussed, it was proposed to use the Sky Cannon to drive the slogans and other objects into the city, but considering the range of fire, this method was obviously not advisable. If you really do this, most of the people who can see these slogans will be Cao soldiers, and their will cannot be easily shaken.
Liu Yi's benevolence and righteousness are only for the people of the Han Dynasty, and he will never have this thought for the enemy soldiers, as a soldier, since the first day he stepped on the battlefield, his life and death will not be decided by himself! Here, Lang Sheng will never be soft, nor will he care what kind of means he takes, the battlefield is never a place to be soft-hearted, and Song Xianggong is precisely because he did not understand the difference between the two will leave a laughing stock in history! Before the battle, the soldiers had to carefully observe whether the opponent had gray hair on his head, or whether he was old, weak, sick or disabled! In the midst of a rapidly changing and fierce battle, this opportunity to observe is enough for the enemy to kill you several times, and the two armies are fighting only to defeat and kill each other, and there is no difference between talking about benevolence and righteousness and seeking one's own death.
If the kind of flying bird that is being studied at this time can be successfully experimented, it will become a propaganda attack weapon for the Yan army against the enemy's city, and Lang Sheng will not think about the bombing of the fortified city, but in this way, the leaflets can be accurately controlled to achieve no dead ends, especially in the face of the enemy's lonely city, the power of propaganda warfare can even disintegrate the morale of the enemy's ace troops, which has been successfully verified in many battles in later generations, in some specific circumstances, It was much more effective than an army attacking.
However, when that kind of flying bird was still being developed, there was still a long way to go before it succeeded, let alone equipping the Yan army at this time, so at present, the kite Dafa of the Liaodong, Beiping, and Hurricane armies became the best substitute. Among the eight main forces of the Yan Army, there was no special propaganda team at this time, but there were many soldiers who were familiar with this way. As long as the people in Leping City raise their heads, they can see those flying kites in the air, which can also greatly arouse their curiosity, Cao soldiers will never be able to collect all these kites that fly into the city, there will always be a part of them will be passed on to the people, and they will be the best medium to spread these news to the whole city!
At first, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Cao Ren and the others didn't know what medicine was sold in Yan Jun's gourd except for a little surprise, in all the previous battles, such a method of warfare had never appeared, but soon after the news that circulated in the streets and alleys made them see the power of this new method of warfare! The greatest loyalty of the people is based on the premise that they have no worries about their lives, if they know that after the city is broken, not only will they not be harmed, but they can also have better treatment, it is a person who will be alive, you must know that this is not a war to resist foreign invasion, the Yan army has the reputation of the righteousness of the imperial court, so the propaganda is obviously more tempting!
When the city is rumored to be carried on the kite of the Yan army, the people who will be suspicious will also be verified by some merchants, Beiping is the capital of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Yi's more than ten years of painstaking management has also become an economic and cultural center, there are countless businessmen who come here to do business, they will spread these experiences to all directions after they have personal experience, free for Yandi to do the best publicity! And this kind of exchange is almost impossible for the Southern Three Heroes to stop, because they also need these merchants to bring back urgently needed supplies from Yandi, and propaganda warfare is also an unfamiliar concept.
This kind of spread is inconspicuous but has a subtle effect, when the generals of the Cao army reacted, sent troops to collect those kites, and even used martial law to stop the spread of news, it was already a step too late! Even under martial law, the people still have their own methods of communication, and this kind of suppression can arouse their rebellious psychology even more! In this regard, Lejin, Yu Ban, Cao Ren and other generals are extremely troubled, they do not dare to use too much force on the people at this time, if the enemy is currently stirring up a civil uprising, this city will not have to be defended, the Yan army does not attack but is more deterrent than a strong attack, and now the generals of Cao Ying are eager for the Yan army's strong attack to be launched again.
