Chapter 28, the king's ministers are like mustard
Li Ju and Wei Gai led 7,000 elite soldiers to force the Yellow River, destroyed the fortress set up by Zhao Gu on the river bank, and successfully occupied Wen County.
Hanoi Wen County is the ancestral home of the Sima family, clansmen, relatives, countless families have settled here, just pull a landed household out, turn around, can be related to the royal family of the Jin Dynasty - the most unfortunate is also several generations of Sima family Zhuang guest. Although Hu Shi was killed very badly after entering Hanoi, there were still many small local tyrants who built docks to protect themselves, and Guo Mo and others were able to fight guerrillas in Hanoi for a long time, and they also secretly helped these forces.
Heshang Wubao, since Zu Ti took Luoyang, he immediately sent people to the south, and Zu Shizhila relationship, set close, hoping that if it is a northward crossing in the future, it can be exempted from the crime of attaching Hu. Zu Ti also allowed these two subordinates of Wubao - Ming Cong Hu Han and Secret Tong Luoyang - to seek self-protection first, so that they could come in handy in the future.
Therefore, Li Ju and the others had greeted these dock fort masters in advance, one was to say that I would only attack the traitor Zhao Gu, and only take the city, and I would not move the foundation outside your city; The second is to claim that Wang Shida Zhang is a tart, I am the vanguard, and there are 100,000 soldiers of General Zu behind him, and the camera is ready to go. The owners of the dock fort got the letter, so they laid out the internal response in advance in the city of Wenxian County, and as soon as the Jin army arrived, the city gate was opened.
Zhao Gushi was in Yewang, the troops were insufficient, and he was shocked when he heard the alarm, and hurriedly sent the Quartet to ask for help. He sent people to Hedong, Pingyang also sent people, and even Shangdang County in the north of Taihang Mountain traveled thousands of miles to ask for reinforcements. Of course, he has the most high hopes for the peach leopard in Ji County, one is that the two counties are adjacent, and the other is that he also knows that Liu Cang has almost searched for domestic soldiers, and in the west of Guanzhong, he can come to the rescue in a short time, and it is estimated that there is only a peach leopard.
The peach leopard was convinced, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed: "Sure enough, it doesn't come out of the right marquis!" ”
——————————
Before Liu Cangxi crossed the Yellow River, he sent an envoy to Xiangguo, greeted Shi Le, and with the order of the Son of Heaven, asked Shi Le to take advantage of the situation to send troops to cross the river and attack Yan and Si Prefectures. Shi Le pretended to hesitate and said: "This year's Jizhou locust, secluded, and the harvest is not very rich, plus the Duan clan is in the north, sharpening the knife, I am afraid that the minister will not be able to send troops to the south for the time being......"
The angel ignored it, but still forced the edict to Shi Le, and finished the banquet to entertain him, but euphemistically said Liu Can's true meaning. He said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knew that there was a famine in Jizhou, and Zhao Gong, you couldn't take out many soldiers and horses to cooperate with Wang Shi, but I was afraid that the army would go west, and Zu Ti would take the opportunity to cross the river and cover the attack on Hedong and Pingyang. At the very least, please send a few other armies, bluff, to face the big river, pretend to cross the river, and tie up the ancestors.
Shile promised to send the angel away, and then he called all the generals to discuss. Cheng Yao was the first to express his opinion and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move is very unwise in the eyes of the ministers!" ”
Cheng Ziyuan is still in charge of intelligence work, synthesizing information from all aspects, looking at the general trend of the world, and gradually broadening his horizons, his own IQ and even the pattern are very different from when he competed with Pei Gai. He first analyzed Liu Cang's thoughts:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and serious, and he must think that the chaos in Guanzhong is at the beginning of the peace, and the situation in Sizhou is decided. And I am afraid that the times will change, if Pei Gai and Zu Ti slowly accumulate, it will inevitably be a big trouble for the henchmen in the future, and it is not from the time of day, not according to the people's hearts, and rush to the expedition.
"However, the minister thinks that Hedong and Pingyang, the national treasury, have fertile land and prosperous household registration, and if these two counties can be well governed, they will be enough to resist the ...... of the world."
The legendary Yaodu is in Pingyang, so the land between the Yellow River and Taihang, that is, the three counties of Hedong, Pingyang and Hanoi, was developed very early, and according to the statistics of the early Jin Dynasty, the total household registration of the three counties is not below 150,000 - this is not counting the many wealthy families here, and there are more dependent and hidden households than other counties. Later, the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", the rise of Hu and Han, until the "Yongjia Rebellion", the Hu army crisscrossed the river, on the one hand, a large number of people in Henan were captured to Hedong and Pingyang, and on the other hand, the prefecture and even the Di and Qiang in Hexi were also flocked to the vote. It can be said that today, the population of these two counties alone is enough to rival one or two states in the outlying areas.
However, even if the states such as Ji and Si are not too barren, they are not considered to have suffered from the war, and there are not one or two out of ten household registrations, and because they are relatively vast and sparsely populated, it is naturally more difficult to govern than one or two counties, and the resettlement of the population, the collection of taxes, and even the recruitment of soldiers will be affected by factors such as transportation. Pingyang and Hedong are different, the roads are divergent, the Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, and although the population is large, it is far from the point where the fields are not enough, as long as the management is good, the patience has been accumulated for a few years, plus the sky is blowing, the wind and rain are still smooth, in Cheng Yao's view, it is enough to be proud of the whole world, and it is no problem for a family to beat Pei and Zu.
That's why he said, "...... And why rush to success, now that the army is not good and the food is insufficient, so they are in a hurry to go to the expedition? The minister didn't see what the odds were. ”
When Shi Le heard this, he smiled faintly and said Ziyuan, you have a point, but-"Zu Shizhi, Tao Shixing, the famous general of Jin, as for Pei Wenyue...... Hehe, how dare Liu Shiguang allow them to accumulate safely? "You recuperate, others also recuperate, although your foundation is better, and the speed of development may be relatively fast, but you also have to take into account the factors of their respective leaders, like Pei Gai, Zu Ti and others, do you dare to ignore it for the time being?
Then he said: "If it is not Pei and Zu in person, but Sima Yue and Gou Xi, or Suo Qi and Lu Yun, you can still wait and see and treat him to chaos." However, Pei Wenyue really has hills and valleys in his chest, and he actually returned to the Jin lord in Luoyang, and since he led the pass, it is so clear that he has no intention of annexing the ancestor Shizhi, and can win the world's popularity from this, and make the Jin lord virtuous, if the ancestor is childish, and the ministers are unwilling to obey, Pei Wenyue can have no worries......"
looked at Zhang Bin: "Right Hou, is this the truth?" ”
Zhang Bin bowed his head and said: "What Ming Gong said is true. With Pei and Zu's current situation, it is not the alliance of Jin and Qin, but the good of Qin and Chu, if there is no rapid change in the world, it can be expected to be five to ten years old, and it will not be divided into two ......"
"The alliance between Jin and Qin", or "the good of Qin and Jin", is a commonly used idiom that indicates that the two families have a close relationship, and the world is marriage, and they help each other. But studying historical events, this word is actually very unreliable, throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin and Jin were friends and enemies most of the time, and each other's daughters were married less, but there were only more battles. In comparison, the Qin State had a close relationship with the Chu State, the great enemy of the Jin Dynasty, and Qin also helped Chu restore the country for a time.
The reason is very simple, then Jin is big and Qin is small, and Qin wants to expand externally, only to the east, just to collide with the Jin State, there is only one hegemony in the Central Plains, and it is strange that the two families do not fight because of this. The reason for the intergenerational marriage is actually because there is no harmony, and some contradictions can only be bridged slightly through marriage, so as to maintain a short truce.
And there is not much conflict of interest between Qin and Chu, and if Qin wants to advance eastward, he must defeat Jin, and at that time, only Chu could pose a threat to Jin's hegemony, how could Qin not be in line with Chu? It was not until the middle and late Warring States periods when the Jin Dynasty was divided into three and Qin also took Bashu and rose, and Qin and Chu bordered each other, that the two families began to fight.
So what Zhang Bin meant, now that Pei and Zu are similar, and have the same foreign enemy, Pei should send Sima Ye back to Luoyang to show that he has no ambition to be good at government affairs, then the two families will not have any big contradictions in five to ten years, and if they want to take advantage of the civil strife in Jin, then you should wait slowly.
Shi Le nodded slowly, and said Youhou You said very well, but-"I don't know much about Jin Qin and Qin Chu, and Youhou has time to elaborate for me." Then he twisted his beard, laughed incomprehensibly, and said: "When I first saw Pei Wenyue, I thought it was just a scholar's ear, I respected his family background, and I wanted to recruit him, thinking that the Jin people were exemplary." On that day, I was still haunted by the plot, sighing that he was obsessed with small righteousness and did not know the general trend, and even the pearl...... It's a pity that the pearl is cast in the dark. However, when I saw that he was acting, he could govern the army, manage the people, and dare to return to the Jin lord Yu Luo, which he could not do for others, he was really a hero in the world, and he could not be condescended to the next generation.
"Such a character will eventually shake the world, I am afraid that I will not be able to make him surrender, but can only hope to fight with him in the future! But I don't know who is the project, and which one is Liu? ”
Cheng Yao hurriedly patted his ass: "Ming Gong has his own talent at Henkel, how can Pei Wenyue be compared?" ”
Shi Le shook his head and said, "People are precious in their own knowledge, how dare I compare with the Emperor Gao?" Emperor Weiguangwen can be compared to Gaozu, but unfortunately the world is undecided, so the dragon soars...... If I were born as Emperor Gao, I would be the same as today, and the things in the north would be shorter and longer than Han Xin and Peng Yueyi. However, Pei Wenyue is not Xiang Yu, and it is unknown who will kill the deer in the future. ”
After a pause, and then a few cases, it was off-topic, let's not talk about Pei Gai, let's talk about Liu Cang's expedition to the west-"I expect Liu Shiguang to go here, at most he will return empty-handed, and if he doesn't deal with it properly, he may lose his teacher and lose his land." Then he asked me to send troops to patrol the river to tie the Jin people, can the soldiers be sent? ”
Cheng Yao said that I counted the treasury of Xiangguo, which was quite empty, and if it was transported from Bingzhou, I was afraid that the mountains and rivers would be delivered, the path would be bumpy, and the loss would be too large - "If you take one month's grain, you can send thousands of troops, and if you travel for two months, it will only be 5,000." Then why should I set up a false army for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, tie up the Jin people, and consume not much grain and grass? ”
Zhang Bin shook his head and said, "Otherwise......" Cheng Ziyuan glanced at him, and said in his heart, I know, you will definitely go against me!
Zhang Bin arched his hand to Shi Legong and said: "As Ming Gong said, Wang Shi's expedition to the west of Guanzhong is almost unreasonable, whether it is a draw or a defeat, and the number is five or five. If it is difficult to overcome the enemy city and the army retreats after running out of food, it will be enough, and if it is defeated, I am afraid that Hedong will not be able to protect it, and Pingyang will also be in danger......"
When Cheng Yao heard this, he secretly glanced at Kong Chang. Kong Chang understood, and immediately interjected and said: "His Liu family doesn't cheer up, the son of heaven is drunk, the prince is stubborn, and the traitor takes power, even if he loses his teacher and land, it is also his Liu family's own business, why should Ming Gong reach out to help?" ”
Shi Le twisted his eyebrows and scolded Kong Chang: "What Liu family? The Son of Heaven and the country, do you dare to make irresponsible remarks?! ”
Kong Chang hurriedly leaned over to apologize, but then said: "The minister is a rough person, but he also knows that the king can be virtuous, and the king regards the minister as a brother or something, and the minister is willing to do things for the king with peace of mind......"
Cheng Yao corrected: "It is said that 'the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. ’”
Kong Chang said yes - "At the beginning, Emperor Guangwen regarded Ming Gong as a sibling, so Ming Gong naturally swore to the death. Today, the son regards Ming Gong as a dog and a horse, why should Ming Gong harm himself for benefit? Besides, the crown prince, in fact, regards the Ming Duke as a mustard, and the term "slave" is not called by the Jin people, and he often declares it. Everyone is a slave to Ming Gong, can Ming Gong still be a loyal minister of Pingyang?! ”
