Chapter 30, overstretched
(Cat pounces Chinese) the one who guards Jinyang is Zu Li's friend, and they used to be together
Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi, who "smelled the chicken and danced". Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Liu Kun was appointed by Sima Yue six years ago as the assassin of Bingzhou, and added the title of General Zhenwei and the rank of General of the Huns, he led more than 1,000 people from Luoyang to the north, and rushed to Jinyang.
At that time, Jinyang had gone through the war, and it had almost become an empty city, and it all relied on Liu Kun to recruit displaced people, develop production, repair city defenses, and recruit troops to guard, and it took about a whole year to regain its vitality.
Jinyang is just north of Pingyang, the capital of the Hu Han Kingdom, like a sword of Damocles, hanging over the heads of Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and his son, and they naturally cannot be indifferent.
However, he sent troops to attack Jinyang many times, but all of them returned, not only because Liu Kun's military talent was quite outstanding, but more importantly, he contacted the Xianbei Tuoba tribe further north and became a brother with its leader Yilu, so he was able to summon Xianbei soldiers to resist the Hu Han army.
But even so, Liu Kun always only had the strength to defend, and could not take advantage of the victory to launch a counterattack - otherwise it would be impossible for the Hu Han army to frankly ravage the Central Plains and besiege Luoyang - the main reason is that according to the history books, it is because of Liu Yueshi
"Good at caressing, and short than control, in one day, although thousands of returnees, those who go are also ...... one after another" To put it bluntly, although this person is good at winning people's hearts, the ability to organize institutions is very poor.
Pei Gai read history in his previous life, so he felt that Liu Kun's ability was far inferior to Zu Qi. If the two of them had changed places, it is estimated that Zu Shizhi would have been able to form a strong army of at least 50,000 or more, and all of them would have been annexed to the state, and even Pingyang would have been captured; And if Liu Yueshi turns to Yanyu, his results are estimated to be less than half of Zu Li's.
Therefore, although Liu Kun's power was not only in a corner of Bingzhou, he also sent his nephew Liu Yan to lead troops into Yanzhou, beheaded Wang Sang, repelled Zhao Gu, garrisoned Xiaqiu, and later defeated Shile.
But the two sides are far away, and it is difficult to echo, resulting in Liu Kun always being trapped in a corner of Jinyang, and he can't open the situation at all.
Liu Kun's Jinyang Ling Xu Run is a villain, it is said that he was introduced as a confidant because he was good at music and rhythm, and he was arrogant and unscrupulous since then.
Fenwei Protector Ling Hu Sheng persuaded Liu Kun to get rid of this villain, but Xu Run was slandered, Liu Kun did not pay a careful visit, and Ling Hu Sheng was executed.
It is said that Liu Kun's wife scolded her son for this, saying that you can't control Haojie, but kill people who are stronger than yourself, and such an act will definitely cause a big disaster!
Sure enough, a catastrophe followed, and in July of this year, Ling Husheng's son Ling Hu Ni fled to Liu Cong, saying that the Jinyang army was false and real.
It was at this time that Liu Kun's party was too guarded to attack the Han Dynasty, and many Karasuma in Yanmen County also rebelled for a while, Liu Kun personally led the elite soldiers to the crusade, and Liu Cong took the opportunity to appoint Linghu Ni as a guide and sent his son Liu Cang to lead the army to attack Jinyang.
Taiyuan Taishou Gao Qiao saw that he could not be defeated, and even opened the city to surrender, although Liu Kun was not there, his parents were also harmed by Liu Can...... This news was repeated repeatedly, and finally reached Huaiyin in mid-August, and Zu Ti was anxious on the spot.
He waited until Pei Gai came back, met and told the bad news, and immediately said: I can't wait, so I have to lead the army westward to rescue my old friend Liu Kun!
When Bian Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, waved his hand again and again, and said: "General Zujun has only been in the army for two months, and the training has not been completed, and the grain and straw I have here is not complete, so how can I send troops at this time?" And the ancestor is so eager, dry and colorful, this is the appearance of the defeated army and the general - I think it is impossible! Zu Ti paused and said: "I am in a hurry to send troops, and I don't just want to avenge Liu Yueshi. Erjun, please think carefully, Liu Cong has Jinyang, and he has no worries behind the side, so he will go all out to aid Guanzhong, and join forces with Liu Yao, I am afraid that King Qin (Sima Ye) will be difficult to resist. I don't have to rush forward, along the Huai to the west, from Zhongli to the north, first Ding, Pei, and then to Henan, echoing with Xun Sikong (Xun Fan), then Liu Cong may be afraid...... Pei should raise his hand and press slightly: "Zujun is in a hurry, that is, if he wants to send troops, he will not be in a day or two - please sit down first, I will wait for the long term." When Zu Ti finally sat down reluctantly, Pei should lean forward slightly and ask him first: "Where is Liu Yueshi today?" Zu Ti replied: "It is said that it is more than Taihang from the west of Jingcheng, or it is in Changshan County......"
"Are all the soldiers scattered?"
"I don't know." Pei should ask Pei Du to bring the map and spread it out among the three of them. The level of map mapping in these years is very primitive, and the mountains and rivers and cities can only ensure that the general direction is good.
Pei Gai has always wanted to use his geographical knowledge in his previous life to revise it, but the ancient and modern place names are very different, the direction of the mountain range is roughly unchanged, and the river, river, and Huai are sometimes diverted, so he spent a lot of energy, and only roughly revised the terrain of the Yangtze River near Jianye and the Huaishui section near Huaiyin.
Where he hadn't run in earnest—even if he had been in a previous life—he couldn't be caught off guard by the memories he had gained from books.
For example, if he didn't look at the Yellow River and Taihang, he would not be able to see which place it was.
Grandfather Pei Xiu is a famous map scholar, the problem is that his two brushes are not enough for future generations, and although they are passed on to the second son Pei Fei as a secret technique in the family, Pei Song and Pei Gai were still too young when Pei Fei died, and they were basically not taught...... The green bamboo cane was at hand, and Pei pointed to the map, as if he was thinking about it repeatedly.
After a while, he spoke: "The north of Changshan is the county of Dai, Tuoba Yi Lu Zaiyan, I expect Liu Yueshi to ask Tuoba for help, and want to restore the state - Zujun, how is Liu Yueshi a person?" But as the rumors say, the persevering? Zu Ti nodded and said: "The words 'perseverance' can be used to describe Yueshi." After a pause, he said: "Wen Yue's thoughts are not bad, according to the enemy's seizure, if it is someone else, maybe the Tang Dynasty, a defeat and leave, if it is over the stone, it will be recovered." "Pei should say that's it-
"If the traitor has occupied the Jin Dynasty for a long time, I am afraid that Liu Yueshi will be difficult to return to the state, and his relatives will be killed, Liu Yueshi's revenge is only worse than that of Zujun, how can he live in Changshan for a long time? I intend that in February and March, we will pass west over Taihang and re-enter the state. And in February and March, with 2,000 weak soldiers, will Zu Jun be able to gain a firm foothold in Yuzhou? Zu Ti shook his head slightly.
Pei Cai took advantage of the situation and asked, "How is the training of the soldiers now?" "They brought in 2,000 displaced people from the banks of the Yangtze River, plus Yu Lu's recruitment, and asked each Wubao to send people to serve in the military to help defend Huaiyin, and there were already more than 3,000 people under Zu Ti's command at this time.
But Zu Ti also said that after just more than a month of training, he can only say that he has barely formed an army, and his combat effectiveness is really not guaranteed.
In particular, there is a huge shortage of weapons, and to this day, nearly half of the soldiers are still only able to carry bamboo poles and sticks...... Pei Gai smiled: "In this way, even if Zujun goes west, it is not enough for Liu Yueshi's help, but Xun Sikong is tired." Liu Cong will be three to five thousand elites, and he can destroy the Jun's department, how can he hinder his pace of entering the pass in the west? Zujun is angry, think twice before acting. Zu Ti let out a long sigh and arched his hand: "What Wen Yue said is true, I did it." Then he added: "Wenyue is strategizing, and he can know things thousands of miles away......" is not counted
"Winning a thousand miles", just
"Knowing" is just -
"I might as well too." Pei Gaixin said that you don't need to be arrogant, and you don't need to praise me, the reason why I am safe is purely because I know the trend of history.
In his memory, Ling Hu Ni summoned Hu Han's army to attack Jinyang, which was not the end of Liu Kun's power, Liu Kun should have received the assistance of Xianbei soldiers soon after, killed him in one go, and also defeated Liu Can.
Liu Kun was later defeated by Shi Le, and the root cause was because of Tuoba Xianbei's civil strife, and he lost strong reinforcements.
Therefore, Liu Kun turned to contact Duan Xianbei and made an appointment with Duan Piyan as a brother—and in the end he died at the hands of this righteous brother.
So, the crisis in the state is only temporary, Zu Shizhi, you really don't have to be too anxious. Of course, Pei Cai didn't say anything more important: Guanzhong is a big quagmire, you can't save them, don't accidentally trap yourself in, it's not beautiful.
At this time, seeing that Zu Ti had finally calmed down and temporarily dispelled the idea of sending troops, Pei Gai couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief - it doesn't matter if you are in a hurry to leave, the problem is that the soldiers have not been trained yet, how many people can you leave for me?
It's a big deal for Zhen to follow them to keep you, and you should be able to escape back to Jiangdong smoothly, but you will be like in history, without a rear base and crashing headlong to the west, I'm afraid that the ending will be worse than the original - because you left early.
At this point, he began to discuss military issues with Zu Ti: "I have heard that even if you train hard to become an army, if you come to the battle for the first time, it will be difficult to be a division of a hundred battles, but is it? Zu Ti nodded and said that this is indeed the case.
Pei Gai smiled: "The homeless people recruited today have not yet seen blood, how can they go west to be a Hu Qi?" I heard that there were still thieves raging in the county, why didn't Zu Jun lead his troops to ask for it and make him know the war? "Zu Ti said that I also have this idea, and I will train with battle.
So Pei Gai suggested that Zu Ti leave a few hundred people to defend the city, and pull the remaining soldiers and horses to the cantonment land, on the one hand, to help level the land, and on the other hand, to protect the cantonment land, and then he can use it as a basis to suppress thieves, especially-
"I ordered Wei to investigate the salt administration, and since the official family abandoned it, it is expected that someone will seize the salt field, if it cannot be recovered smoothly, the ancestor should also go to help and expropriate accordingly." Zu Ti agreed.
"In addition, salt is not only salt, but also iron, and you can also go to receive it and build ordnance." Zu Ti just nodded, but Bian Yan next to him objected: "The envoy went to Yandu, and it was reported that the Department was engaged in it, so that he could manage the salt administration and iron administration, and the quota would be sent to Huaiyin." Now that there is an established system, how can the ancestor be allowed to go to receive it? Pei Gai smiled: "If he knows something, he will naturally welcome the ancestor monarch, if he doesn't know something, he can do it." One pointed to Zu Ti: "I signed it for the county, and Zujun is the county guard, and he can be dismissed." Bian Yan frowned and said: "When you first come to the state, you should stand up with benevolence and faith, how can you perform this trick of deceit?" Fooling the people is not what a gentleman should do! Pei Cai didn't bother to explain to him for the time being, and only said: "When you believe, you believe, when you cheat, you have to cheat, and you have to do it in troubled times." As he spoke, he winked.
Bian Yan thought that Pei should have any special considerations, but it was just inconvenient to announce it, so his brows were still furrowed, but he no longer objected.
But I didn't expect that after Zu Ti left, Pei Gai not only no longer explained in detail, but took care of Bian Yan, saying that when the first batch of salt was sent to the county, it is estimated that Zu Ti has already left, and he will go to the tun reclamation land, you must deduct all the iron materials, and don't give Zu Ti a catty - let's use them to cast farm tools, don't cast weapons for him!
Bian Yan said that the peasants first and then the soldiers, only when the place is stabilized can the army be strengthened, and it will save the ancestors from getting any news again, and they will go west in a hurry, which I understand, but-
"If the ancestor comes to ask for it, what should I do?" Pei Gai said with a smile: "You can say: 'There is a lot of salt and desecration, but you can take it immediately, why be greedy for the profit of this baht?' Bian Yan's brows tightened even tighter: "The king, specializing in fraud, I am afraid it is not the foundation of the gentleman's life." Pei Gai flicked his sleeves and retorted: "I don't want to stand up, but want to make meritorious contributions." In ancient times, the pure ministers of the dynasty must be honest and loyal, and those who are strong enemies outside will not use deception, how can they succeed? I have my own plan, and I don't have to say more! "—————————— Jin Dynasty's land tax was not high, generally stipulating that seven liters of millet would be levied per mu of land, plus poll tax and other miscellaneous items, and the total amount would not reach two buckets.
At present, Guangling County is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the fields are in the hands of Wubao and large households, or they do not pay taxes, or use various excuses to evade taxes, and finally the income from the autumn tax is less than forty percent of the quota, which is more than 30,000 grains, as well as a small amount of silk, money, and salt, iron and other special products.
Coupled with the money brought from Jiangnan and the income from selling officials, Pei Gai only had 50,000 grains in his hands, which was not enough for 3,000 soldiers and half a year's rations for the old and weak...... Of course, Pei Gai still has some other ways to get food, and at the same time, he also wants to see how much additional Zu Ti can get in the process of suppressing bandits and mastering the salt and iron industries.
But it is estimated that the small group of bandits in the county really can't squeeze any oil and water, and as for the rich families in Yandu County...... Zu Shizhi, you are also a landlord class, can you really be ruthless?
It is estimated that the ruthless hand will have to come by himself in the end, but, Zu Shizhi, you have to train me to play a team that can fight more or less.
He spent all day making calculations with Bian Yan and the others, counting money and food, but found that he was really stretched thin and his future was not optimistic.
Not long after, several of the subordinates who went out to deliver the letter returned one after another—but no one ran away, or encountered an accident—Pei not only replied with a long letter, prepared to tell about Jianye, but also wrapped up a lot of gold and silver jewelry given by Sima Rui and others and gave it to Pei Gai.
Pei Gai couldn't help but smile bitterly: Auntie, what I want is food, no matter how good this jewelry is, it may not be able to exchange for food.
Forget it, send someone to the dock forts to sell, after all, it is a good handiwork in a big city, and a grain of grain can be exchanged for a grain.
The subordinate sent to Yishan to find Xi Jian returned with a reply, and Xi Jian said in the letter that he hoped to be able to help Pei Gai, but - I will not cross Huai to the south for the time being, there are too many people around me, and it is inconvenient to take it away.
Pei Gai was sorry again, and he was somewhat relieved - I coveted his more than 10,000 people, but if I really brought it to Huaiyin at this time, it is estimated that even I will have to starve to death!
The two subordinates sent to find Shao Xu both arrived at the end of the day, but they came back empty-handed—there was no such person.
The other two letters were answered, but neither Wang Sima nor Wang
"Cheng Sima", the letter is full of noodle soup words, which seems to be quite cordial, but in fact, it does not fall into a real word. Cat flutter Chinese
