Chapter 33 Time is running out
(Maopu Chinese) Jin Huai Emperor Yongjia five years, Luoyang City fell, Huai Emperor was captured, history said
"Yongjia Rebellion". Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test is now the end of the sixth year of Yongjia, Pei Gai, Zu Ti and others went north to Xuzhou and stationed in Huaiyin, which has been half a year old, and the surrounding situation is temporarily stable.
If it weren't for Pei Cai's search for memories of his past life, it would seem to be from
"Yongjia Rebellion" was not established until the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xuzhou, especially Guangling, Linhuai and other places south of Huaishui, did not seem to have any major turmoil and wars in the past few years, so he refused to come here.
Farming, there is always a piece of land that is barely too peaceful, if I really go to Yan and Henan Prefectures, Hu Hanjun may kill them one day, how can I rest assured that I will accumulate it!
Of course, the long river of history has set off a turbulent undercurrent that is unknown to the times, whether Xuzhou will become a battlefield tomorrow, or Cao Wei, or Shi Le, will he be crazy for a while, and he will lead a large army to come, even Pei Gai has no way to predict.
It's just that this risk is worth taking, and it must be taken. Not out of the Pei Institute
"Material", Liu Kun only stayed in Changshan for more than two months, and then waited for Tuoba Xianbei's soldiers and horses, the two armies merged, and it was said that there were 200,000 people - it must be a fraud - and then he went west from the well, and Liu Cang was defeated in a battle, and his troops died five or six times, and they successfully recaptured Jinyang City.
Liu Kun originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to go to Pingyang, but Tuoba Yilu said: "Looking at the situation of the younger brother, Liu Cong is difficult to break, and he can't draw snakes to add to it." So he left cattle, sheep, carts, horses and other materials, and the generals Ji Tang and Duan Fan helped to guard Jinyang City, and he returned to Daidi.
Liu Kun had no choice but to enter Yangyi, and Jinyang was in a horn situation, re-recruiting and dispersing, and training troops with grain, so as to wait for another opportunity.
When the news came, it reassured Zu Ti. He spent a few months in Guangling, and even crossed the border into Linhuai Country at one point, conscripted and suppressed bandits, and cut hundreds of heads, but he didn't get much food and property - these days, the robbers have no surplus food at home, how can they be compared with the local tyrants and landlords like Chen Fen and Chen Jian brothers?
So he turned to the east, and with the cooperation of Wei Xun, he successfully collected the salt and iron from the official.
However, Zu Shi did not do anything to stop it, although theoretically these industries are all official, but the rich are still allowed to contract - you only need to give me enough materials to do.
In a sense, this is also a continuation of Pei Gai's previous policy, but Zu Shou led his troops here, and his appetite is naturally not the same as Pei Yuanjun, who rode into the county.
A few days before New Year's Day, Zu Ti led the troops back to the reclamation land, and then left the soldiers to reunite with his family, and he returned to Huaiyin County with six or seven subordinates. It turned out that during this period of time, Bian Yan made most of the iron materials donated by Yandu County into farm tools, and Pei Gai also took out two drawings and asked him to find craftsmen to study them and build them according to the same.
One of the pictures is a cocoon car, that is, a kind of animal-powered seed drill, this thing has actually been invented as early as the former Han Dynasty, but the speed of technology transmission in those years is very slow, although hundreds of years have passed, the people in many areas still do not know how to use, or even if they can use, they do not understand the principle and will not imitate.
When Pei Gai was still in Huying, he saw a more detailed record in the fragments collected from everywhere, and immediately remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would use it for farming in the future.
There is also a picture of the Quyuan plow, this technological innovation actually appeared as late as the Tang Dynasty, but the structure is much simpler than the cocoon car, Pei Gai can roughly restore it by relying on the memory of his previous life - of course, the specific size, you have to find a craftsman to trial and error, groping to build.
As a result, a large number of farm tools, including more than 100 cocoon carts, 50 zigzag ploughs, and dozens of ploughing oxen and horses, were successively transported to the tun reclamation land, which played a considerable role in promoting the completion of the ridges and ditches as soon as possible and the timely sowing of seeds in spring.
But Zu Ti may not be happy when he sees it-I asked you to make weapons with iron, but you don't give you a catty, and you have made so many farm tools...... Bian Yi first apologized to Zu Li respectfully, and then patiently explained: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. If you want to go straight forward to destroy the enemy, then the supply of grain and straw must be indispensable, if because of the lack of agricultural tools, there is almost no income from the reclamation, how to break the thieves in the west? The left and right sides have not yet been in battle, and the soldiers can still train even if they are armed with sticks; However, if the agricultural time is delayed, it will inevitably be lost because it is small. Zu Ti sighed lightly and said that I also understand this truth, but I am a little anxious-
"Huafa was born early, the tomb is half arched, my mood cannot be compared with Qing and others." - After all, Zu Ti is already in his forties, and even if he has stepped into the ranks of the elderly in this year; Pei Caike is only twenty-four years old, in his prime, even if he is Bian Yan, he has just passed the age of establishment.
That's why he said, I'm afraid you can't understand my urgency. Pei Gai asked Zu Ti about the training of the troops, and Zu Ti replied: "I have already seen blood, and I can go into battle—but where was it a war before, but it was just a weapon fight, and there were hundreds of bandits, and there were no more than one or twenty people, which was really not enough." Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his body slightly forward, and said with a sincere expression: "I want to move west in the spring." When Pei Gai and Bian Yan heard this, they couldn't help but be taken aback - Zu Shizhi, you are still anxious, you plan to leave in the spring next year?
It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year.
"The grain is not enough yet, why is it so careful?" It can't be that you don't know how to see our secret ledger, right?
Zu Ti replied, "Time is running out. He then asked Pei Gai to take out the map, and he pointed and said: "Now that Liu Yueshi has destroyed Liu Cang's army and recaptured Jinyang, Hu Lu has been defeated, and he is no longer able to unify Yan and Yu, so I just took the opportunity to seize it." If you can defend it and defend it, how can it be a hundred times stronger than this Guangling? Deyan and Yu can contact Xun Sikong (Xun Domain) and seek to recover the old capital. If the opportunity is missed, when Liu Cong and the others recover their troops, and then want to go west, I am afraid that it will be twice as effective as ......half the effort" and then said: "I will only send 2,000 soldiers, and the rest will be left with the two monarchs to garrison Huaiyin." There is no need for too much grain, and it is enough to provide for three months. Now the salt field that has been harvested and desecrated can carry the salt to Yan and Yu to buy it - there are many dock forts there, there must be loyal people, grain and materials, and there should be no shortage of food......" He insisted on leaving, Pei Gai and Bian Yan repeatedly persuaded him, but they were never able to convince him.
But when Zu Ti saw their attitude, he finally had to promise, saying that if the war was unfavorable or the materials were difficult to raise, I would never carry it to the death, and I would definitely turn around and come back - just run away to suppress bandits and train soldiers, so that the soldiers could see what the real battlefield was like.
Bian Yan was not a very eloquent person, and soon he was exhausted, so he had to turn his head and pay attention to Pei Gai.
Pei Cai pondered for a long time, and repeatedly observed Zu Ti's expression, he estimated this time...... Even I can't stop Zu Shizhi...... It's okay, I have a long-planned move here, and if Zu Ti doesn't move, he won't be able to make a move.
So he raised three fingers and said to Zu Ti: "If Zu Jun can allow me three things, I will let Zu Jun go west." ”
"Please speak." Although they are allies, after all, Pei should have the title of Xuzhou Assassin and Governor Xu Fangjun, if there is no permission from him, it will be difficult for Zu Ti to travel westward.
To Xiaoli, Pei Gai and Bian Yan withheld grain and grass materials and did not distribute them, could Zu Ti still be able to use troops to snatch them?
To Dali, Pei Gai wrote a letter to Jianye, saying that Zu Ti did not obey the military order and moved troops without authorization, maybe Sima Rui, Wang Dao and others could really directly deprive Zu Shizhi of his official position, and even declared him a rebel, so he lost his righteous name, how could Zu Ti still be able to stand in Yan and Henan?
So, I'm afraid that you won't agree, and I'm really not afraid that you will make conditions. Pei Cai first curled a finger and said: "Yan and Yu are still empty talk, but Huaiyin is really for us, if Huaiyin does not guard, the ancestral monarch's support is cut off, and there is nothing to do, I expect to be defeated." Therefore, only Xu Jun led two thousand troops to the west, ......" Zu Ti nodded, and said This is no problem, I have already said just now, there are about 1,000 people left, all of which are left to you to defend Huaiyin County.
Although the number of people is not large, in case of distress, relying on the strong defense of the city, when the county forts are in danger, they can also make up one or two thousand people to assist in the defense, and it should not be a big problem to hold Huaiyin for a month or two, right?
It's a big deal, I'll just turn back and help back. For now, the closest powerful forces to Guangling are Shi Le and Cao Wei, who are fighting in Qingzhou.
Cao Wei barely protects himself, it is estimated that he has neither intention nor ability to go south, and the only thing we have to worry about is Shi Le.
Shi Le's department, only the victory of the army is not less than 100,000 people, if the intention is to seize Xuzhou, even if I don't leave, we gather troops in one place, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.
However, the more soldiers and horses there were, the more difficult it was to move, because the amount of material consumed was too great.
Therefore, Zu Ti also sent people to secretly go north many times, to the north of Xuzhou and even the Qingzhou area to inquire about Shi Le's movements, to see if he would take advantage of the autumn harvest and have the intention of invading the south.
But at present, Shi Le did not have this intention, his main force confronted Cao Wei between Le'an and Beihai, the guerrilla army went out in all directions, looted money and grain, and entered Yangcheng County in the east, and the southernmost only just stepped into the north of Langya State - although it has entered Xuzhou, it is still more than 500 miles away from the Huai River.
Zu Ti pointed to the map, and analyzed the situation on the northern front to Pei Gai and Bian Yan in detail, and said that if Shi Le sent light cavalry south, you stick to Huaiyin County, as long as you are not timid, do not run away, and there is no big mistake, it should not be difficult to retreat.
And if Shile's whole army invades, the speed of action will inevitably be slowed down, and the food and straw on the road will be consumed too much, but I am afraid that before I get to the place, my morale will be weakened because of the lack of food, and it will be difficult to continue.
"That's why I plan to go west after the beginning of spring. If Shi Le wants to raise an army to the south, he must wait until after the autumn, and if he does not come this winter, he will be able to worry about it...... "After the autumn harvest next year, it is not too late for you to worry."
Pei Cai looked at the map, rubbed his chin, and cursed Zhang Bin and Zhang Mengsun several times in his heart. He said in his heart, didn't you want to suggest that Shile take Yecheng in the north, occupy Handan and Xiangguo, and gain a foothold in Hebei?
How could he be entangled with Cao Wei before the Guanggu fortification? When will you leave?
If Shi Le ran to Hebei, 108,000 miles away from Guangling, then Pei should not have to worry at all.
As Zu Li said, it is unlikely that he will invade the south, and he will only send troops to Chengyang and Langya to fight the grass valley.
In this way, Pei Gai and Bian Yan can have at least two or three years to farm and accumulate. Therefore, Pei Cai arrived in Huaiyin and wrote to Cheng Yao.
Among Hu Jun, the people who can influence Shi Le's decision-making, and have some friendship with Pei Gai - although it can be said that they are on the surface of harmony - except for Zhang Bin, only Cheng Yao and Cheng Ziyuan are far away, and if they want to tie up Shi Le's footsteps, Pei Gai of course does not dare to go to Zhang Bin again, but he can try to talk to Cheng Yao.
He revealed to Cheng Yao in the letter that Zhang Bin's intention was in Hebei, but he was forced by the situation, and he didn't dare to say it to Shi Le for the time being-the implicit meaning, I told you about this, are you willing to take this credit?
At the same time, he also said to Cheng Yao, I was forced by the southerners, and had no choice but to cross the river to the north, temporarily stationed in Huaiyin, I have no strength to go north, I hope that Brother Ziyuan will speak to General Shi, don't come to fight me, let's get along in harmony.
I know that my previous act of running away will definitely cause General Shi to hate me to the core, but even if he moves south, drives me away, or even kills me, what good will it do to you Cheng Sima?
When I am the only one in the world, I can understand Zhang Mengsun's intentions, so I can set a trap to trick him, once I am gone, it is estimated that the happiest person, except for General Shi, then there is only Zhang Mengsun, right?
In other words, I can help you deal with Zhang Bin, do you want to? Cheng Yao's reply was all a piece of soup, and not a word was put into practice - it may be that he was afraid that Shi Le would find out that the two sides exchanged letters, so he did not dare to express his position clearly, and more likely, he still had doubts.
Of course, it is impossible for Cheng Yao to really trust Pei Gai, he should be able to see that Pei Gai just wants to temporarily ensure the safety of the Huaiyin region through himself.
But since he didn't kill the messenger, and he didn't scold Pei Gai in his reply, it shows that he is still a little moved by the bait that Pei Gai throws out.
If this letter is replied by Zhang Bin, this person is dangerous and ambitious, and Pei should probably find it difficult to read any hidden intention between the lines - even if it is read, it may have to be understood in reverse to have a certain accuracy.
But although Cheng Yao is quite good at political disputes, when it comes to controlling the general trend, he is more than one step behind Zhang Bin, and this guy is selfish, so it is very likely that he will press this matter down, neither report to Shi Le, nor make a comment to Shi Le.
Pei should know that the matter of his garrison in Huaiyin must not be hidden from Shi Le and Zhang Bin - no matter how bad the level of communication is in these years, there are two or three months, Shi Le should also get the news, right?
It is very likely that he may not even be able to stop Zhang Bin because of his anger - Pei Gai is still quite confident in his level of attribution, because he played those two too hard before-Cheng Yao will more or less reveal something in his reply.
Since he can't read this meaning, it shows that Shi Le has not fought hard to suffer heavy losses in the short term, and he must be determined to cut off Pei Cai's head and sacrifice the flag.
If it weren't for that, how could he dare to let Zu Li leave after the beginning of spring next year? If Shile's army goes south and there are ancestors, even if they can't be defeated, they won't be too ugly defeated.
