Chapter 20 Strategizing

When Li Xiong, the lord of the city, learned that Li Feng had fled to Hanzhong, he was quite annoyed and slightly remorseful. He asked the ministers: "I wanted to protect my territory and wait for the Central Plains to be calm, but I didn't expect this incident to happen again...... When Li Feng goes to Hanzhong, he will seek me for Zhou's visit, and Zhou Shida has Pei Wen's appointment behind, and I dare not enter Hanzhong, so what? "He dared to hit me, but I didn't dare to hit him, it didn't taste good!

"Now Shi Le's name Xiangguo, there will be a big war with the Jin people, if the situation is a little hot, Pei Wenyue will definitely send troops to save Zu Shizhi, then Zhou Shida has no backup. If I take the opportunity to go all out to Hanzhong, what do you think is okay? ”

Li Ban, Li Shou and others all said that if there is a good opportunity, it must be to regain Hanzhong. Ren Hui waved his hand again and again, saying, "The minister thinks it's impossible!" ”

Then he explained: "Even if Shi Le destroys the Jin division in the east, Pei Wenyue sends an army to rescue, hanging thousands of miles, and the news is difficult to get through, if our army goes to Hanzhong, and the Jin Guanzhong army has either been victorious, or it is too late to save and return to Chang'an, what will we do?" If Shi Leguo can invade the Jin Dynasty and make the small and big reversed, then it will not be too late for me to go north to seek Hanzhong.

"Now it is better to go south than to the north. In the past, Zhuge Liang crossed Lu in May, pacified the south and middle, and was able to eat enough, and went out of Qishan in the north; And Nanzhong is more than Yi, quite good at fighting, if you can settle Ningzhou and expect Yi to be a soldier, then our army will be strong, and it will be more successful to recover Hanzhong......"

Li Xiong groaned: "From Wang Shaobo (Wang Xun) to Ningzhou, Zhu Haoyou, Zhuyi, and according to the terrain, divide Ke into Pingyi, divide Zhu Ti into Nanguang, divide Jianning into Yelang, divide Yongchang into Liangshui, and each of the ten counties will guard the town...... The place is far away and narrow, and it is not easy to determine. ”

Ren Hui said that no matter how difficult it is, it has to be decided-"Then take Ningzhou and Xiang Hanzhong, which is more difficult?" And Zhu Ti and Qi Ke were originally counties of Yizhou, so if Your Majesty can't even settle down on a state, how can you be called the Son of Heaven? "Di people are rude, and Li Xiong has always been generous, so there is no taboo for Ren Hui to speak.

Li Xiong nodded and said, "What Ren Qing said is true, I should have Mrs. Lao again, and lead the army south to take Ningzhou." Li Xiang hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Dare to disobey your fate?" Then Li Xiong asked Ren Hui again: "In Qing's opinion, can Shi Leguo shake Jinji?" ”

Ren Hui shook his head and said: "Thousands of miles apart, the news is difficult to understand, and it is really difficult for the minister to guess." Jin Liang was decayed, so the first emperor was able to build a foundation in Bashu, and the Xiongnu were able to ravage the two capitals; However, the hundred-legged insect, which looks dead but is not stiff, and the spring breeze has turned into a quilt, and it is unclear whether it can be revived. Only I am in the southwest, and Shile is in the northeast, it is difficult to echo, Your Majesty cannot hope for him! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

As Ren Hui said, one southeast and one northwest, two tyrants, standing in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, unlike Wu and Shu of the Three Kingdoms in the past, they couldn't cooperate at all, so he advised Li Xiong not to care about the situation in Xiangguo for the time being. In the same way, Shi Le did not include Cheng Han in the scope of his family's plan to conquer the world.

If the Jin is destroyed, then Shu can go down; If I don't destroy Jin, can I beat Bashu? Ignore what he does.

This year, north of the Yangtze River, the general harvest is good, especially in Hebei, which is owned by Shizhao.

In fact, it is not that Hebei has the largest number of farmers, or that the agricultural technology is the strongest, and the most acres of land are cultivated, but that Shilepo collects taxes and spends less.

After Shi Le chased Liu Yan and killed Wang Jun, he ordered all states and counties to read the real households and collect rents. In contrast, whether it is Luoyang, Chang'an or Jianye, they are still in accordance with the old tax rate, with three horses of silk and three catties of cotton, and four rents - Pei Gai followed You Yao's suggestion, but temporarily reduced the tax rate in Qinzhou, only half of it.

At the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, nearly half of the country's land and household registration were pinched in the hands of the wealthy families, although after the funeral, many wealthy families were originally broken, and the land and population were precipitated, but since the restoration of Luoyang, the Nandu family has returned one after another, holding the land deed, recovering its old property. Therefore, the Guanzhong area is okay, Pei should not allow the displaced people to return to their hometowns, and all of them are forced to be tunhu, and in the name of rent, they expropriated excess land from many families; Under the Luoyang regime, it was inevitable that it would return to its old appearance, and the tax collected by the imperial court was still halved.

Although Shi Le also tried to win over the wealthy families of Youyou and Hebei, after all, he could afford to be more faceless than Sima Ye and others, and what should be suppressed was still suppressed, so that the large households in Hebei shrank, and the middle class was broken, but a lot of land and population fell directly into the hands of the Xiangguo regime, although the tax rate was lower, the total tax was gradually approaching the early stage of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Pei Gai was in Guanxi, and through means such as Juntun and Mintun, the harvest was no less than that of Shi Le, but if it was compared to the expenses, it was almost twice as much as Shi Zhao.

One is that Pei should have invested a lot of funds in the field of production, such as building roads, bridges, canals, mining, etc., and even subsidized businessmen to give a certain amount of low-interest loans, in the hope that productivity can not only be restored, but also improved to a certain extent; In addition, in the future, when the people will be allowed to settle for households, the peasants will not be impoverished quickly, and they will be forced to lose their land again and be forced to depend on the wealthy and large households. Second, the daily supply of the three armies of the Great Sima is the best in the world, and the daily expenses of the army alone account for nearly 30% of the total taxes.

For the former point, Shile did not care at all, and he thought that I only need to give a light tax, so that the natural productive forces of the people can be restored in timeβ€”this is also the idea of the vast majority of people at that time. As for farmland and water conservancy projects, that is the business of the magistrates, and if they have spare money and conscience, they will do it, and if they do not have spare money or conscience, they will not do it, as long as the amount of taxes levied at that time can satisfy me, and the people do not complain too much, and they cannot afford to rebel, then it will be enough.

As for the latter point, there are only generals in the Zhao army, and a few other elites, whose daily offerings can be compared to Pei Jun's regular soldiers. According to the habits of these years, it is normal for ordinary big-headed soldiers to not have enough food and clothing, unless in wartime, who is willing to let the soldiers have a full meal, and how much food will be wasted? And even in wartime, food and wages can be replenished to a certain extent through looting.

Anyway, if you carry a gun and become a soldier, no matter how hungry and tired you are, you will not starve to death, and it is much safer than going back to be a peasant. In addition, if you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you will naturally be rewarded for your captures, and it is unlikely that you will have such a chance to get rich as a peasant.

Therefore, in the land of Shizhao Sanzhou and a half, in addition to the soldiers of each city, the mobile troops that can be directly pulled out have exceeded 100,000, which is almost twice that of Pei Gai. And even so, the military expenditure is far less than that of Guanzhong, according to the statistics of Cheng Yao and others, it is not much of a problem to pull them all out for three or five months.

Therefore, before all the Qiu Fu was put into the warehouse, Shi Le summoned the military generals of Wenchen to discuss the use of troops against Jin.

Everyone knows that the old security frontier can only be passively beaten, and only by making progress can it completely reverse the trend of small and big, and then take over the whole world, so no one raised any objection to sending troops to attack Jin after the autumn. So there are so many hostile forces around, although they have the same banner, but they are actually not subordinate to each other, who should we fight first?

Taifu Zhang Bin first proposed to recall Shi Hu and change it to not be a state guard.

He said: "There are six enemies of my family: one is Liao, the second is Dai, the third is Guanzhong, the fourth is Henan, the fifth is Qingxu, and the sixth is disgusting.

"Liu Yueshi is far away, and he can ignore it for the time being, then only the Duan clan in the northeast is gone, and it is not enough to suffer from defeat - the same is true for disgust, although Shao Xu is good at fighting, he is weak after all. And Guanzhong Pei Wenyue is really a big enemy, Tuoba Xianbei is also not to worry, the two are sandwiched in Taiyuan, and the state can only adopt a defensive position, take advantage of the geographical advantage, and strengthen the wall to Yu Jindi. The soldiers of Qingxu can make Cao Wei tie up, and the only one in front of our army is Luoyang Zu Li'er......"

When Shi Lefu usurped the throne, he immediately issued an edict to recruit the various forces in the north, as well as the disgusting Shao Xu and Guanggu's Cao Wei - excluding Liu Kun, because he knew that Liu Yueshi would not surrender, and besides, he had already been in the Jin Dynasty, so what official position could Shi Zhao take to lure him?

The edict of Duan's Xianbei, as well as Pingzhou's assassin Shi Cui Yu, did not answer. In fact, whether it is Duan Piyan or Cui Bi, his heart is in Jin, and he has no intention of relying on Shi Le at all, but he just thinks that the karma is very strong, and he is afraid that the other party will target the north, so he is vague and does not dare to completely tear his face.

Shi Le also knew that although he and the Duan clan had reaffirmed the peace agreement, the feud was actually deep and difficult to solve, so he used Zhang Jing's strategy to recruit Yuwen and Murong to contain or even join forces to attack the Duan clan. Just before Yuwen Mo Gui accepted Duan Mogui's invitation and sent troops south to rescue, Murong Diao took the opportunity to enter the Yuwen Department and won consecutive battles, causing Mo Gui to be injured and fall off his horse when he was defeated and fled, and he died of his injuries......

However, Duan Moji's army was defeated and fled back to the Yuwen Ministry to assist Yuwen Mogui's heir, Xun Yuyan, and stopped Murong Bing's advance. Shi Le took the opportunity to send an envoy to the north to relieve the two families, and named Yu Wenxun as the Duke of Xidan Yu and Beiping County, and Murong Diao as the Duke of Dongdan Yu and Changli County.

Xun Nickyan was overjoyed to accept the order, and Murong Diao also agreed to withdraw from the army after discussing with the strategists Lu Chang, Yang Tan and others. In fact, Murong Diao was not more worried about Shi Zhao, because there was still the Duan clan who could help contain the Youzhou troops, but what he was afraid of was that the Yuwen Ministry asked Tuoba Yulu for help - the two ministries sometimes intermarried, and they have always had a good relationship. But for Shi Zhao's canonization, Murong Diao resolutely refused, and said: "I am awarded the title of Jin, how dare I betray it?" ”

- Murong Diao's own position as the governor of Xianbei (internally, he called himself Xianbei Dashan Yu), in the early years of Jianxing, Wang Jun undertook to appoint him as a free cavalry attendant, a champion general, a forward governor of the capital, and a large single Yu, but he refused to accept the order. Soon after, Sima Ye added his general to the town army, and worshiped the two counties of Liaodong and Changli - the prince who could lead the two counties, he was the only one who scorpion - Murong Dianai gladly accepted.

Since Duan's and Murong were not ordered, Shi Lenai worshiped Duan Moqi in the Yuwen Department as the captain of Xianbei and the governor of Liaoxi, and was named the Duke of Liaoxi.

His edict was tired of the times, Shao Sizu didn't say a word, and directly destroyed the book and beheaded the envoy; The edict was Guanggu, but Cao Wei, an old opponent, hurriedly lowered his head.

Cao Wei was originally a Jin person, although he had the ambition of secession, but he had no intention of encroachment, originally Jin and Han confrontation, he may be more inclined to Hu Han, now Jin and Zhao confrontation, how can he look down on a slave with a false name? However, forced by the situation, he wanted to be a vassal to Jin, but he was full of disgust, and when Jin was recovering, he refused to accept it lightly - unless you came to Luoyang in person to ask for guilt. Cao Wei was trapped in Guanggu, afraid that he might be slaughtered if he took a step out of the city, how dare he go to Luoyang? It is inevitable to be the enemy of Jin.

Therefore, as soon as Shi Le stretched out an olive branch, he worshiped him as the general of Zhengdong, Qingzhou Mu, and the prince of Le'an County, and Cao Wei fell to the ground on the spot, facing the northwest direction and worshipped......

That's why Zhang Bin said that the forces in the north are not a big trouble for the time being, and if Pei Gai and Tuoba Xianbei in the west attack from the north to the south, then the state can only be defended, and it cannot take the initiative to attack for the time being-"Then Taiwei (Shi Hu) is good at attacking but not good at defending, and when he hears that he is in Jinyang, he is not very effective in stabilizing the people, appeasing Di and Qiang, so it is not appropriate to merge the state." ”

As for Shi Zhao's south, Shao Xu's strength is small and weak, and he can also temporarily let Cao Wei contain Su Jun, Xi Jian and Bian Yan in Qingzhou, and face the big enemy, only Luoyang Zu Yi must strike first, cross the river to attack, and it is impossible to take a defensive position on this front. ”

So it's better to summon Shihu to return to the court.

Shi Le agreed, but asked, "If Shi Hu is recalled, who should be used to garrison and annex the state?" ”

Cheng Yao hurriedly stood up and said: "The king of Hejian (Shi Sheng) is also the nephew of His Majesty, and he is brave enough to protect the three armies. And the people of the party who continue to be filial piety (continue to be salty) can be supplemented, and they will be able to meet the enemy with danger and wait for the changes in the east. ”

Shi Le asked Zhang Bin: "What does Taifu think?" ”

Zhang Mengsun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "It's okay - however, it is necessary to make a general guard the party." "β€”β€”The Shangdang guard was originally Jiao'an, and has been recalled to serve as the left servant of Shangshu.

Shi Legu looked left and right and pointed to one person: "Is it possible for Qing to protect the party?" ”

The person referred to was the general of the Protector Army, and immediately got up and surrendered his hand: "The minister is willing to guard the party for His Majesty, and he will not let the Jin people cross the Taihang on horseback!" ”

After deciding to take a defensive position on the Bingzhou side, Shi Le asked, since we set the main direction of attack to the south, should we attack Shao Xu first, or attack Yan, Yu or Sizhou first?

Zhang Bin said: "Although Shao Xu is not a big trouble, after all, he is across the river, like a bone in his throat, and he must be removed." The army can be displayed on the bank of the river, pretending to cross the river to attack Yanzhou, but in fact, it is driven by fine horsemen, so as to be disgusted. Break Shao Xu first, cross the river and join forces with Cao Wei, suppress Qingzhou, the east can be worry-free, and you can specialize in the division and Yan. ”

Cheng Yao didn't speak, but he looked at Zhang Jing. Cheng Zi is far from the way of strategic planning, although he has made some progress compared to the past, after all, he can't guide the country and strategize like Zhang Mengsun, but he doesn't want Shi Le to listen to Zhang Bin's plan alone, so - Zhang Jing, do you have anything to refute? Hurry up.

Zhang Jing understood, so he immediately stood up and said to Shi Le: "The minister thinks that the plan of the Taifu is not good. Shao Xu is certainly like a fish in his throat, but he has no power to go far, so he doesn't have to go to the expedition, but with the momentum of lightning, he should go straight to Yanzhou and smash the heart of Jin Kou. The army of ministers is hypocritically disgusted, and there is a state of wanting to cross the river and meet Cao Wei, then Su Jun and others will ask Luoyang for help. When the Jin army goes east, I can make the generals of Hanoi come out together and threaten Luoyang, then the Jin division will be returned, running thousands of miles to compete, tired of responding to orders, and the army will take advantage of the time to cross, and it will be guaranteed to win. ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "Qing is not right. Su Jun is Pei's old general, and he may not be willing to ask Luoyang for help, that is, Luoyang may not be willing to respond. And if our army does not break Shao Xu, it will not be convenient for Leling to cross the river, and Cao Wei is trapped and defended, and there is no way to threaten Su Jun, so why ask for help? Even if, as Qing expected, the Jin division came to the east, then our army was in Hebei, how could the Jin division dare to return to save Luoyang? And the generals of Hanoi are in confrontation with Li Ju, and if they don't break Li Ju, they can't threaten Luoyang, so why should Jin Shi return? ”

Zhang Jing was speechless when he said a few words.
