Chapter 190 and the master of the mud!
Jizhou-Yecheng, four city gates are closed, large and small streets are under martial law, tens of thousands of ironclad troops are fortified layer by layer, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, no one is allowed to enter and exit, the commanding heights in the city are also sent to the archers to monitor, the slightest abnormal movement, immediately shoot, plus the cavalry that keeps coming and going, not to mention the enemy's spies, even a rabbit can't get in!
Half a month ago, the general Yuan Shaochuan ordered: "Gather the civil and military officers of the four prefectures of Hebei to gather in Yecheng and prepare to hold an important meeting".
"Hebei civil and military, all have come to this, the stakes are very high, all the idle people and others will withdraw, close the palace gate, send additional guards, dare to peep into the secret - behead!"
The general Yuan Shao was wearing golden armor, wearing a coiled dragon helmet, holding a sword, sitting on the main seat, and behind him stood his three sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang.
The fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, the noble family, love face, talk about pomp, the most is the most courteous and ceremonial, no matter what the occasion, you must dress neatly, in order to come out to meet people, it is now July, the weather is hot, the heat is unbearable, the father and son of the Yuan family are wearing heavy armor, sweat soon soaked the inner robe, fishy and greasy, it can really be said that 'death to face, life to suffer! ’
In contrast, the rules of the Cao family, the long-cherished enemy, are much looser, except for the time when he went to court, Cao Cao always wears a regular clothes, not gorgeous, as long as he is comfortable, in the hot weather, sometimes he will be naked, lying under the big tree to enjoy the shade, even if the important ministers come to discuss matters, it is also 'frank and honest', this is called 'big heroes are not informal!' ’
"See the General! --Meritorious deeds, admired by the world! ”
What kind of lord there is, what kind of courtiers there are, Hebei hundred officials lined up neatly, civil officials wear Chinese clothes, military generals wear heavy armor, there are as many as two or three hundred people, one by one with their chests up, their waists are straight, and they are absolutely first-class in terms of appearance, but what is the situation, only I know!
In the scorching heat of July, the sun is shining, the doors and windows of the hall are closed, there is no cool breeze, coupled with the large number of participants, constantly emitting heat, after a while, many people are sweating, their minds have become dizzy, thinking about things will inevitably become impatient, just looking forward to the early end of the meeting!
Yuan Shao summoned the civil and military officials to come, naturally not 'practice the queue, show the pomp, and then have a collective heat stroke', the main purpose of this meeting is: 'send troops south, crusade against Cao Cao, unify the Central Plains, and sweep the world!' ’
Between Cao and Yuan, there must be a battle, the winner owns the world, the loser is wiped out, this is a well-known thing in the world, for several years, in order to test the situation, the two sides continue to have friction, sneak attack Xuzhou, fight for Liangzhou, chase the Yellow Turban...... It is the embodiment of this will, now that the reality is clear, the details are known, and it is time for the final decisive battle!
"How is the money, grain and grass accumulated in the four states of Hebei, and how much can be harvested from this year's taxes, there is a quick report!"
The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, especially the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the huge consumption of money and food is definitely an astronomical amount, and Yuan Shao also knows this!
"Lord, this year's wind and rain are smooth, the sunshine is sufficient, the crops are growing very well, after the autumn, there will definitely be a bumper harvest, and it is expected to get more than one million yuan of tax grain!
In addition, checkpoints have been set up in various parts of Hebei, and a fifty percent business tax will be levied, which can obtain hundreds of thousands of gold, plus the property donated by the Zhen family and the Liang family, and the treasury can be regarded as having some family funds! ”
The strategist Frustration stood up, he was in charge of taxation, and he had been running around for more than half a year, working day and night on government affairs, and finally accumulated some family funds, but he was still far from the people's food and clothing and the government treasury was full!
"How is the training of soldiers and horses in the four states...... How many blades, armor, horses, and siege equipment have been prepared? ”
The princes fought for hegemony, relying on strong soldiers and horses, and excellent equipment, for this reason, Yuan Shao handed over the task of training soldiers and horses to the most powerful generals!
"Lord Qiqi, after more than half a year of recruitment, Hebei soldiers and horses have exceeded 400,000, as for the blades and armor, the craftsmen have built them day and night, and they have been transported to the army one after another, and tens of thousands of good horses have been exchanged for from the Hun tribe, which is enough to equip a cavalry!"
Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran stood up, in order to train people and horses, the two have been living in the barracks, which can be said to be doing their best, but after several battles, Hebei soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, half of them are newly recruited soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they need to step up training!
"How is the remnants of the Yellow Turban being cleaned up, and are there still mobs making trouble in various counties and counties?"
When the army goes out, the rear must be stable, this is also what Yuan Shao is most worried about, the previous 'Black Mountain Yellow Turban' rebellion has had too much impact on his psychology!
"Lord Qiqi, since the last general was ordered, he has exterminated the rebellion everywhere, the place has been pacified, after the defeat of the thief leader - Zhang Yan, he fled into the mountains alone, his whereabouts are unknown, even if he is still alive, he can't become the climate!"
The person in charge of suppressing the bandits is the general-Jiang Qi, with his first-class ability to command the troops, he chased and killed the bandits and grass bandits everywhere, and he also received frequent successes, and won the unanimous praise of Hebei's civil and military forces!
"Haha! - Thanks to the dedication of the princes, the situation in Hebei has improved greatly, the money and food are sufficient, the soldiers are strong, and the place is stable...... Pass the order, civil and military officials, each has a reward! ”
After listening to everyone's reports, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and ordered a reward for a group of civil and military officials, but he forgot that the recovery of the situation in Hebei is also due to one person - Xiao Yi!
Last winter, Xiao Yi took away hundreds of thousands of people, which greatly damaged the vitality of Hebei Sizhou, but it also eliminated internal troubles and calmed down the place, just like squeezing out an abscess, which made people suffer severe pain, but it was good for the body!
The most important thing is that after people have been in pain, they will learn a lesson, one defeat of Xuzhou, two defeats of Xiliang, three defeats of Baihujian, three defeats of all three battles, completely hurt Yuan Shao, but also inspired a sense of crisis, for most of the year, he forgot to sleep and forget to deal with government affairs, and the subordinate Wenwu is also doing his best, which has a better situation!
Now that the situation in Hebei is very good, the troops under his command are strong and strong, the next step is to send troops south to take revenge......
"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be observed, this battle is related to the belonging of the world, and I hope that the general will think twice before acting!"
With a clear voice, Tian Feng stepped out of the queue, because of the merit of 'being ordered in danger', he has been promoted to 'Jizhou Don't Drive', ranking first among civil officials, it can be said that the spring breeze is proud, and it has also attracted a lot of jealousy!
"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, occupied the name of the righteousness of the imperial court, and sat on the land of Xu, Yan, Henan, Si, and Liang, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and the ministers were like clouds, and the generals were like rain, and the arrogance was very arrogant.
In the opinion of his subordinates, the lord should work hard to make the people of Hebei recuperate, accumulate grain and grass, cast ordnance, and after three years, it is not too late to have a decisive battle, so that there is a seven-point chance of winning! ”
Tian Feng is strategic, very clear about each other's advantages and disadvantages, Cao Jun is brave, elite soldiers and horses, and the advantage is to fight quickly, but they also have a weakness, that is, the logistics supply is difficult, and if the troops are dispatched for more than three months, they will be weak in follow-up, and the siege of the battle of Xiapi is the best proof!
On the contrary, Yuan's combat effectiveness is slightly weaker, but the logistics supply is very strong, Jizhou has a vast area, fertile land, and the grain produced in a year is the sum of Xu, Henan, and Yanzhou.
"Wow! …… Yuan Hao's words are reasonable, Cao Jun is brave and good at fighting, and there are famous generals in command, we can't be in a hurry! ”
Tian Feng's words were like a bucket of cold water, which cleared everyone's minds a lot, it was a matter of life and death, so it was right to be cautious!
"The difference between Yuan Hao's words, Cao Ying seems to be strong, but in fact he is strong on the outside and strong in the middle, and there are three major drawbacks, which is the way to self-destruction......"
Strategist Guo Tu stood up and directly objected, with a trace of jealousy in his eyes, his relationship with Tian Feng was originally quite passable, but since the latter was promoted, the relationship between the two has become delicate, and the number of quarrels has increased!
"First of all, Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, he is actually a thief, bullying the Son of Heaven, pressing down hundreds of officials, the people of the world have long hated him, once the war starts, everyone will inevitably betray their relatives and fall apart!
Secondly, for several years, Cao Cao has been reckless in his military and crusading against all kinds of princes, although he was lucky to win, his soldiers and horses were also killed and wounded, and countless money and food were consumed, and it was already the end of the crossbow!
In the end, Cao Cao was short-sighted and couldn't tolerate people, so he put the chief general-Xiao Yi in prison, which was tantamount to cutting off his arm, and it was unpopular, how could the generals under his command be willing to fight to the death?
With these three defeats, how can the Cao thief be immortal, the general responds to the people, sends troops to fight the thief, reports to the Son of Heaven, and the people are safe, and he should be invincible and unify the Central Plains! ”
"Mr. Gongze is reasonable, quickly send troops to crusade against Cao thieves, and the last general is willing to be a pioneer"
"If the thief is not destroyed, the world will not be at peace, there will be a battle sooner or later, why hesitate?"
……………………………………
I have to admit that Guo Tu's eloquence is excellent, and his eloquent speech has stirred up everyone's hearts again, especially the generals, who can't wait to send troops immediately to fight to the death!
The problem is again, the two major strategists in Hebei, one advocates postponing the dispatch of troops, the other wants to fight quickly, and each has its own reason, how to choose, it is really a difficult problem, everyone's eyes are all focused on Yuan Shao, I hope he can be wise and decisive and make the right decision!
It's a pity that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, even if Yuan Shao cheers up, he can't change his old problem - he is strategic, sitting there, pondering for a while, and it is difficult to make a decision, so he has to set his eyes on one person - Xu You!
Among the many strategists in Hebei, Xu You is generally intelligent, and he is still very greedy, and likes gold and silver, real estate, fertile land, and beautiful women...... Just like Pixiu, he swallows everything, so his colleagues look down on him, but he also has a special ability - and mud!
The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the lord's eyes fell, even if Xu You was unwilling in his heart, he could only stand up!
"What Yuan Hao and Gong Ze said has its own reason, but is it, the righteous army, salute first and then soldier, why don't the generals send a messenger with a large amount of tribute to the Xuchang Dynasty to meet the Son of Heaven to show his loyalty, and then visit Cao Cao and put forward three conditions:
First, return the hundreds of thousands of people who were taken away, and compensate 200,000 yuan in gold and 500,000 yuan in corn for resettlement!
Second, cede the land of the six counties of Xiliang, release the captured Hebei soldiers, and let them go home to reunite with their relatives, especially the traitor-Fengji, who must be escorted back to Yecheng and punished according to the law!
Third, announce to the world, move the capital to Yecheng, and then invite the little emperor to come, so that the general can serve the Son of Heaven to ask for nothing!
If Cao Cao agreed, the lord would get the city, money, and population for nothing...... There are many benefits, if you don't agree, then tell the world, in the name of King Qin, send troops to fight, it can be regarded as a bright and bright future! ”
Xu Yu is worthy of being a veteran of the mud, and after a few words, the opinions of both sides have been taken into account, and the proposed strategy is also ruthless and poisonous, and has been unanimously recognized by everyone!
"What Mr. Ziyuan said, even if he was alone, immediately sent a messenger to Xuchang to put forward three conditions, and see how the thief answered?"
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, although Xu You is greedy, he also has some skills, but this kind of person can be reused, not trusted!
