Chapter 219—A Feast for Crows (15)
At the height of Shi Ji and Guan Yi, there is no need to say anything about morality and morality in the conversation between the two.
So after the two sides sat down, Shi Ji's first sentence was: "What does Zifeng want?" "Tell me what you want.
Guan Yi also said very unceremoniously: "People return to Han, and the land belongs to Wu." "I don't want Xiling City, and I'm not interested in Yidu County, Jianping County or anything. But everyone in Xiling City, I want to transport them all.
Shi Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard Guan Yi's words: "I have many families in Wu, and I have dispatched private soldiers to resist the Jin army, and I have suffered heavy casualties. Zifeng wants to take all the people in Xiling City away with a word? How unreasonable! ”
Why are the families of Soochow willing to send elite private soldiers to fight honestly this time? Isn't it just the huge manpower that Ba Wang divided the Bu family after taking Xiling? What is the meaning of Xiling City? That's the emperor's. Which family would dare to ask for it?
But after Shi Ji said this, Guan Yi simply stopped talking. just clasped his hands in front of his chest and looked at Shi Ji with a smile.
The idea is obvious: I'm not talking nonsense to you. I just want people.
"Does Zifeng want to turn his back on the alliance between the two countries and start an all-out war between Wu and Shu?"
"Well, it's not impossible. Anyway, we also have an alliance with the Jin Kingdom. The emperor of the Jin Kingdom now looked like a fool in a hurry to prove himself. This time in Xiling in vain, if our Han proposes to join forces with him to attack your country......"
"Hmph, then our Great Wu can also join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack you!"
"Oh, this, Gongxu Gong, do you think that within three or five years, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom will have the courage to attack my Hanzhong again?"
To be honest, thanks to Yizhou's natural geographical blockage. Although it is not easy for Shu Han to fight, it is really easy to defend.
There is no need to talk about it in Hanzhong. Let's talk about Patong County alone. The starting point of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was controlled by Shu Han. If the fleet of Eastern Wu wanted to attack Shu Han, it had to swim against the current. Under such geographical conditions, as long as Shu Han's army is not too wasteful, there is not much way for Eastern Wu to take Shu Han.
Soochow is different. The Yangtze River is certainly a moat. But the Yangtze River stretches for thousands of miles. Once there is a breakthrough, there is a possibility that the thousand-mile moat will collapse completely. If Shu Han, who is now in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, forms an alliance with the Jin State, it will really be enough for Dongwu to drink a pot.
However, Shi Ji knew very well in his heart that Guan Yi's words were just saying. Wu and Shu are two countries, lips and teeth depend on each other. In a short period of time, no one can do without anyone.
But you can't go without any benefit to this guy. Who allowed his own army to be defeated? Although he didn't know how the other party miniaturized the trebuchet onto the ship, Shi Ji knew better in his heart: fighting a water war in a narrow inland waterway like the Yangtze River. Shu Han, which is in the upper reaches, naturally has an advantage. In the past, Shu Han's national strength was weak, and it was already unable to support the Northern Expedition, and it was simply unable to maintain a naval army with offensive capabilities. But now......
With a long sigh, Shi Ji said: "According to the information of our school, there are still about 70,000 people in Xiling City. Among them, 20,000 were private soldiers of the Bu family. These 20,000 people must stay in my Dawu. After all, my majesty's trouble-free and trouble-free needs to be supplemented. The private soldiers of my Great Wu families also need to be replenished. ”
"Yes. The remaining 50,000 people, I laughed at it. ”
"You!" Shi Ji couldn't help laughing when he said this: "Zifeng, I know that you are short of people in Xishu, but for the sake of only 50,000 people, you will mobilize the people like this, and even do not hesitate to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries." Is it worth it? ”
How is it not worth it? So you're just a general, and I'm a powerful minister!
For Guan Yi, the significance of this dispatch is very much and great.
First, that's 50,000 people! In Shu Han before Yanxing, 50,000 people is the total population of two or three lower counties! The value generated by these 50,000 people every year can support an army of at least 3,000 people for Shu Han! Moreover, these 50,000 people themselves have to reproduce. This year it's 50,000, what about next year? And the year after?
Second, Guan Yi is a powerful minister. There are many natural enemies. Even if he diluted the stake in the Renaissance Society and tried his best to unite the majority, he still had many enemies. At a time when the internal reform is constantly touching the bottom line of the domestic family, it is necessary to win a little bit of foreign war to increase its prestige. Moreover, this military operation is actually a foundation for the Northern Expedition a year or two later: Wu dogs, you have all shown Lao Tzu a good look, and Lao Tzu's naval army is now extremely combative. When Lao Tzu goes out of the Northern Expedition in the future, you'd better cooperate with my military operations. Even if it is not good, you must remain kind and neutral, and don't come to pull me back. Otherwise, my brother's water army will teach you how to be a man in minutes!
Third, the whole world knows that the Bu family is an ally of the Fuxing Society. If Guan Yi sat and watched the Bu family perish at this time and didn't do anything at all. So what will his current allies think of him? Oh, and he didn't do nothing, either. At least he instructed Chen Can of Fuling County to accept Bu Yan's two sons. But what is this little thing? Is it really to learn from Cao Cao's "your wife and my raising"?
Therefore, in addition to getting these 50,000 people, Guan Yi has other requirements.
"In addition to these 50,000 peasant households, Bu Zhongsi has been a friend of my Fuxing Society for many years, and I can't watch him being killed by Your Majesty. So, Bu Zhongsi I'm going to take it away! ”
"No! In this case, where will you put the face of my majesty? ”
It's to cut the face of your majesty. Your new emperor hasn't stopped since he came to power! You can't go on like this! Sun Hao's prestige in Soochow is too great, and it is not a good thing for us Han.
But you really can't say it directly. So Guan Yi could only start another story: "I don't care who will be the governor of Xiling after Bu Zhongsi." But as long as the new Xiling Governor does not break the contract, all kinds of contracts signed by our Fuxing Society and the previous Xiling Governors will continue to be valid! ”
"Huh~!" Shi Ji, who was in his sixties, suddenly felt like a chicken was grabbed by the neck, and suddenly couldn't speak.
Fuxing has been working with Bujia for almost a decade. Who doesn't know that the Bu family followed the Fuxing Society to make a lot of money. Especially for consumables such as toothpaste and toothbrushes, the national sales right is in the hands of Xiling Du, which is a big profit point!
Moreover, the current Xiling Governor still holds a salt mine in his hands!
Shi Ji is already very old, and in the historical plane, he only lived to 270 years. So at this time, he must plan for his children and grandchildren.
After Guan Yi threw out this big cake, soon, the two sides reached an agreement.
……
On November 24, Shu Han's fleet finally came to Xiling City.
Bu Xian, who had just killed all his wives and concubines, was in a very complicated mood after seeing Guan Yi.
"Why did Zifeng come here at this time?"
What's in your head? How can you say such a thing at this time? Of course, I'll want all three of you to come and pick peaches when you're exhausted. This is a fine tradition that has been handed down from the time of the first emperor of our Han Dynasty. As long as you don't owe money, shouldn't you know your emotional intelligence? At this time, shouldn't you get down on your knees, hug your brother's thighs and cry bitterly and say something grateful?
Forget it, it's because you're stupid enough that I'm willing to save you.
"Hey, Zhongsi. Yi can't help it. The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River has a turbulent current. Before the dry season in winter, my Han's army will not be able to rush out. ”
"Oh, that's true. It's just that if Zifeng can come a day earlier, I won't have to give all my wives and concubines to ......."
"I mourn for the festival. I Yizhou has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the women I raise have a top and a good look. went to my big man, with Zhong Si's talent, it is not too difficult to find a good match. ”
"Oh, that's fine. Uh, Zifeng, I went to Xishu, uh, no, went to Dahan......"
"Ahahahaha~~~ Zhong Si, what is our relationship. If you go to my big man, will I still treat you badly? Well, my Han does not have the fifth-class lord system of the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, we can't give the county prince that the Jin Kingdom gave you. But no matter what, the county marquis will definitely not be able to escape. Moreover, as long as Zhong Si is willing to come out and do things, there is no problem with this county guard. If Zhong Thought stays in Chengdu, the beauty difference of a lord like Guanglu is also a problem. Hahaha, you and I are brothers, will I treat you badly? ”
Hmph, you can't help it when you go to us. You're just a sign I'm going to put up. What I really care about is the 50,000 farmers!
Hey, the remnants of the Eastern Wu Lu King Party, have you all seen it? The emperor of Eastern Wu will never let you go. Therefore, you should follow in the footsteps of Bu Yan and take political refuge in my Han Dynasty!
