Chapter 923: Justified
On the ninth day of January 202 in the second year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, the assassin of Yangzhou, was ordered to move the people of Xuzhou across the river to Yangzhou without authorization, and specially ordered Xuzhou to assassinate Shi Ganning, do not drive Pang Tong to verify the details, and at the same time edict Liu Bei to enter the court to discuss matters, if the order is not allowed at that time, the king of Yan asked to ask the law of the ancestors! Only two days later, that is, when Zhao Yun led the army to the city of Leping, Xiapi had already taken action, but it was not Gan Pang and the others who went to "verify the details", but Xu Huang, the commander of the Yan Army's Longxiang battalion, and there were naturally tens of thousands of elite soldiers with him!
In the eyes of many well-intentioned people, this will of the queen is a signal, a signal of the breakdown of the relationship between Liu Yi, the king of Yan, and Liu Bei, the assassin of Yangzhou. The so-called division is famous, this move to Xuzhou and Yangzhou has become Liu Xuande's biggest crime, but this matter can also be big or small, the Han Dynasty for the supervision of land and population is extremely strict, if the ordinary people fan the villagers to move to other places to reach a certain number of people, the highest can be directly beheaded, here the law has a clear order. But the actual situation is that at the end of the Han Dynasty, the annexation of land and population never stopped for a moment, and no one took this rule seriously when the princes were in chaos, and the population was a symbol of strength in their eyes, but now King Yan really stands up to the truth when he says this, Liu Yi now represents the orthodoxy of the emperor, and it is more important for him to be famous!
This reason Pang Tong had already thought about it for King Yan when he put forward the proposal to take the initiative, and collected a lot of evidence for this in advance, Liu Bei successively moved to the south of the Yangtze River about more than 100,000 people, this so-called evidence of the crime is very simple to find, Feng Xiao is full of tricks, but after the plan, these top strategists will never ignore it. At that time, King Yan took Liu Bei as the assassin of Yangzhou and Gan Ning as the assassin of Xuzhou at this time, and the matter of Xuzhou naturally had to be supervised by Xingba, for the needs of the overall situation, Liu Yi could turn a blind eye to Liu Bei, after all, his main opponent at this time was Cao Cao, but the corresponding precautions were not relaxed for a moment, and nominally the king of Han Yan must occupy the highest point of the truth, and now what he does is reasonable and legal!
In another time and space, Cao Cao took Liu Bei back to Xudu, dedicated the emperor to the genealogy and added Liu Xuande as the uncle of the Han Emperor, the left general, for Liu Xie, this is the meaning of connecting foreign aid, but it also gave Liu Bei the most formal origin and status! At that time, Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao that this person is a hero, and now his reputation is growing, and he should be limited to it as soon as possible! In this regard, Meng Deyan said that since he is the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty, I will make him dare not disobey with the order of the Son of Heaven, this sentence is not false, but then Liu Bei got the edict of the emperor's blood, and finally found an opportunity to break away from Cao Cao's control, and then established the Shu Han regime to fight against it, and in this process, the orthodox identity of the emperor of the Han Dynasty played a huge role!
But now that Emperor Xian has died, when he was dying, there was a formal last word to let Liu Yi, the king of Yan, supervise the country, and in name Lang Sheng could represent the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei did not dare to forge any blood edict without permission, and at least he would not disobey the orders of the imperial court on the surface, at this time, the identity of the emperor of the Han Dynasty after King Jing of Zhongshan became a constraint! Liu Yi hoped that he could resist, so that he could justifiably call him a rebellious minister and a thief and crusade against him, but he also knew that with Liu Bei and Kong Ming's eyes, he would not let him get his wish, but in any case, Yan Jun would not fail to respond to Xuzhou's attack, otherwise he would be even more convicted of the crime of moving the population without permission, and then there would be an order not to come to Beijing, and Lang Sheng would obviously have more excuses! Dealing with Cao Cao is mainly based on force, and dealing with Liu Bei is a two-pronged approach, which is clear to Yanwang Pang Tong.
Gan Ning is the assassin of Xuzhou, the relocation of the people in this state is in charge, he can naturally order Xu Huang to go, this time Gongming is ordered to do things is the status of a minister, see the official level! General Xu said that where the investigation is changed, it should be investigated, and as for how and when it will be investigated, it depends on Pang Tong's arrangement. Anyway, as long as he is in Xuzhou, any action of Liu Beijun will be infinitely amplified by Xu Huang, and this march into the three counties of Xunan is not so much a military operation as a political struggle.
In the first battle of Qingzhou, the two armies of Longxiang and Agni joined forces to fight with the Cao army, and while inflicting huge casualties on the enemy, their own losses were also objective, relatively speaking, the Longxiang army, which was in the forefront of the battle and was sandwiched between the Qingzhou battalion and the Yanzhou reinforcements of the Cao army, was more serious. After the battle, after the count, the whole army lost 7,648 people, 3,602 seriously wounded, 3,947 lightly wounded, counting the lightly injured soldiers who could return to the army, there were still 45,000 soldiers who could fight, which was a quarter of its total strength, and the tragedy of this fierce battle in Qingzhou can also be seen!
After the war, Zhao Yun led the whole army to rest in Qingzhou for half a month, and the second army of Longxiang Agni was only eight days, after Liu Yi adopted Pang Tong's suggestion and decided to shoot at Liu Bei, Xu Huang and Yi two generals as the main force of the war have led the army to move closer to Xiapi, and received Gan Ning's general order halfway, and the two divided their troops to press on the border line of Xuzhou between the two Liu, the Agni Army is in the west, and the Longxiang Army is in the east, so the arrangement is naturally from Pang Tong's hands, and he has a proper arrangement in his heart for the overall situation of this battle. This march was in line with his strategic objectives.
When Xuzhou rested, the two armies were replenished to a certain extent, and the Yan army had a civilian man with the army every time there was a big battle, which was intended to allow the main battle troops to devote themselves to the battle without worries. At the time of this war, the composition of this people's team made certain adjustments. After several years of stable development, now the reserve system can be said to be quite perfect in the three states of You, and Hebei, Tian Yu's civilian team has absorbed a lot of such back forces, usually for the army to carry military supplies, transport money and food, in the case of serious injuries can be done in time to replenish, this matter was immediately raised by Tian Yu was immediately appreciated by the King of Yan and a number of important ministers, the Central Plains War is also the first time to use it in actual combat, Such an arrangement can play a great role in enhancing the continuous and lasting combat capability of the Yan army, and Tian Yu's opinion is very timely.
After two additions in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, the Longxiang army has recovered to more than 50,000 people from the strength of the army, almost reaching the state of full strength, of course, compared with the previous combat power at this time, there is obviously a gap, but before the Longxiang army can be said to be injured but after all, the main force still exists, and it is more appropriate to use it in the crusade against the three counties of Xunan. The planning and use of troops are extremely thorough.
After Tian Yu's adjustment and Yan Wang's suggestion, there are not only young men used as reserves in today's Minfu team to support the Yan army, but also a very special team, which is not much different from the rest of the Minfu team, but Tian Yu and his subordinates, including the major generals, know that Yan Wang will call it a "death squad", and as the name suggests, his role can be known without asking. That's right, there are 3,000 people in this team of people, all of them are organized by slaves transported from the island, and there are many dangerous tasks in the war that will be handed over to them to complete, and they will have to take on the duty of meat shields when necessary, although these slaves are strong and have quite strong personalities, but looking at the expression of King Yan, they don't have any intention of using it as combat power, they will definitely not know Liu Yi's true thoughts, because they have no experience in the future.
In the past few years, the slave trade on the island has been in full swing, and at first Liu Yi just wanted to vent the anger in his heart that had been held back for thousands of years, but then he discovered the huge benefits contained in it, and the political, economic and military development of Yandi in the two years of strategy has been greatly developed. The mines and firewood factories everywhere have also grown greatly, and it is these Japanese slaves who fight in these very dangerous positions all day long, regardless of life and death, of course, they will not take the initiative to do so, and they need to supervise their soldiers to adopt some harsh methods that are not so civilized, but it has to be said that these slaves are extremely obedient, as long as they are tamed, they can be used handy.
At the beginning, Zhang Rong's Flying Tiger Army used direct force to rob slaves on the island, and as time went by, the methods gradually became diversified, for example, the Baimu family's strength as a puppet supported by the Yan King on the island played a great role! "The big man on the other side of the sea is a place with three meals, food and clothing, and gorgeous clothes, and when you work hard there for three years, you can get ten acres of fertile land and beautiful women!" This is the propaganda that the Baimu family will make after conquering every piece of land, they have done an excellent job of this task, if there is no help from the Flying Tiger soldiers led by Zhang Rong, where can the Baimu family come to today's scenery? In a few years, they destroyed the "country" for more than ten years, the territory expanded six times, there are no rare things to give to the king of Yan, they can only do their best in the matter of slaves, as long as they do a good job, every year the king of Yan will give a lot of rewards, on the island these rewards are beautiful!
Many island people listened to the propaganda of the Baimu family and boarded the Yan army's sea ship, and then they regretted it almost the moment they entered the cabin, Liu Yi would not use the Western colonizers to transport black slaves to deal with the island people, but if you want to ensure quality and reduce loss, this environment is definitely not much better, every trip there are many slaves will die on the sea route, and the journey from the island to Dahan has become a nightmare in everyone's hearts, But when they set foot on the land of the Great Han, they found that this so-called nightmare had just begun!
The Han is indeed as prosperous as the Baimu family proclaims, but these have nothing to do with them, waiting for them will be cold mines and endless woods, in addition to merciless whipping and all kinds of torture, the only consolation is that there are still two meals to eat, these slaves do manual work, if they don't eat enough, it is very easy to die, the island is not as rich as the African continent, even if they are just humanoid tools used up, they have to maintain it, right? Some special areas of the Great Han are still waiting for them to make the greatest contribution, and some of them belong to the top secret level in the Yan Army!
After several years of strict management, a large part of the slaves have formed a habit of the current life, at this time the king of Yan recruited them into the people's team, and promised that whoever has made the most meritorious service will be able to join the Han nationality as a Han person, which is like detonating a blockbuster ** among the island slaves. Han! This is the most beautiful dream of the most unimaginable thing, with this incentive, the island slave group in the people's team burst out of amazing enthusiasm, one is not afraid of death, the other is not afraid of hardship in their spirit of exertion, so that a lot of Han native people are a little embarrassed!
