Chapter 1 Strategy for Wuheng
The year 191 was almost over, and Gongsun Kang began to think about the next strategy.
The original two-year plan has now been completed perfectly.
The planned cities have been completed; received 800,000 Qingzhou refugees and the Yellow Turban Army, all of whom have lived and worked in peace and contentment; Samhan has connected the seaside of Mahan into a piece and is advancing inland in an orderly manner; Wajima has also completely occupied Kyushu Island and cultivated 130,000 fanatics.
Gongsun Kang's gaze fell on the giant map hanging in the war room. In the past year, relying on Cao Huachun's detailed information and Gongsun Kang's memory of Chinese geography in later generations, a complete map of the thirteen states in the late Han Dynasty has been completely drawn.
There are four forces in Youzhou: Youzhou Mu Liu Yu; Right Beiping Gongsun Zhan; Interracial Wuheng; Liaodong Gongsun Du.
Gongsun Chan is currently a trading partner, providing a steady stream of Hu captives for Gongsun Kang; Liu Yu is a pastor of Youzhou, occupying great righteousness, and there are Wuheng and Gongsun Zan in the middle of Liaodong, and it is beyond the reach of the whip to swallow him; The only thing that can be expanded is the territory occupied by Wuheng.
Now Wuhuan is led by Liaoxi Qiu Liju Congzi Badun, and Bundun is in charge of the three kings, namely Shanggu Wuhuan Lord Nanlou, Liaodong Wuhuan Lord Su Fuyan, and Youbeiping Wuhuan Lord Wuyan.
The old rule, Gongsun Kang first and Gongsun Du ventilated, explaining their next goal.
In history, Gongsun Du was a man of great talent, taking the initiative to forge ahead and opening up the frontier. But now with Gongsun Kang's hard work, Gongsun Du is rarely able to enjoy it. As long as he controlled the political situation in Liaodong, his military actions had always been left to Gongsun Kang.
To be honest, after Gongsun Kang showed him the Heavenly Grant, Gongsun Du already regarded Gongsun Kang as a figure who opened up the Gongsun family for a hundred years, and he didn't think that Gongsun Kang would seize power at all. The characters who focus on the whole world will not care about the little Liaodong.
Gongsun Du is self-aware, and if he wants to dominate Liaodong and form a small independent kingdom, he can barely do it. If he wants to dominate the world and eliminate all the princes of the Three Kingdoms, he will never be able to do it. So he has always put his position very right, and never pointed fingers at Gongsun Kang.
At this meeting, Gongsun Du also told Gongsun Kang a piece of news:
In order to contain Goguryeo and other countries, he was ready to marry the daughter of the clan to the king of Fuyu so that he would be loyal to himself.
The so-called clan daughter is the daughter of the branch of the Gongsun family. Although it is also called Gongsun Moumou, Gongsun Kang may not have met. Gongsun Kang also does not have a sense of superiority of the Han people, his strategy is ethnic integration, I can marry a woman of a different race, and of course a woman of a different race can also marry the daughter of my Han people.
So Gongsun Kang had no objection to this matter. Of course, he will not object, he can stabilize the Buyeo Kingdom, help the Gongsun family contain Goguryeo and Xianbei, so that he can calmly deal with Wuheng, Dad's move is seconds!
Unite the forces that can be united, and then destroy different enemies step by step, and finally dominate the world. This is Taizu's strategy.
This is a large-scale operation, and the overall goal is to take Youzhou.
Gongsun Kang planned to first hold a preparatory meeting to explain the current situation of Wuheng, discuss the strategy to be carried out, and then divide the labor among the top leaders.
It is Gongsun Kang's habit to plan and then act. Investigate, collect intelligence, summarize and then convene a high-level meeting to discuss and determine the strategy. High-ranking strategists and generals have become accustomed to his series of practices.
The army, weapons, grain and grass, logistics, and the impact on Liaodong should all be considered holistically. It is necessary to know oneself and know the other, and see whether Liaodong has the strength to fight a battle.
At the end of 191, Xiangping, Liaodong, was in the house of Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Gongsun Kang convened an enlarged high-level meeting in eastern Liaoning.
Most of the participants were strategists, including: Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Wang Lie, Tian Chou, and Xu Miao. In addition, there are Cao Huachun, Zhao Yun, and Liu Yi.
Gongsun Kang spoke first, saying: "Our last two-year plan has been completed perfectly, and now it is the second two-year plan. We plan to participate in the competition for hegemony in the Central Plains, and plan to obtain Youzhou within two years. The first step was to acquire the subject state of Liaodong; The second step is to take Liaoxi; The third step is to take Liu Yu and send him to Chang'an. Next, Cao Huachun will introduce the current situation of Wuheng and the contradiction between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu. ”
Cao Huachun arched his hand and said: "Wu Heng Shan Yu Qiu Liju has passed away, his son Lou Ban is young, and he has martial arts and wisdom from Zi Bang Dun, so he is appointed as Shan Yu, and he is in charge of the Karasuma tribe in the three counties of Beiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu. He also commanded the three kings' departments, namely Shanggu Wuhuan Lord Nanlou, Liaodong Wuhuan Lord Su Fuyan, and Youbeiping Wuhuan Lord Wuyan. At present, the total population of Wuheng is more than 300,000.
Equestrianism is what the Wuhuan people are good at, and most children can drill under the belly of the horse, and archery is basically a necessary skill for every adult Wuhuan person.
Wuhuan migrated south for a hundred years and has been living in Han land. Herders do not have to migrate from year to year, as is the case outside the Saiwai, and they are relatively stable. The sinicization of Wuheng is very serious, and the leaders are proficient in Han culture, and they can subdue and establish the Wuheng Eight Banners. ”
Cheng Yu sneered: "For Wu Heng, there is only killing and subduing, not persuasion." Because they understand everything, they are more proficient in Han culture than the Han people. Wuheng has been sinicized for many years and knows the Han Dynasty very well, but he is left and right between the Han and the Xiongnu, either attacking the Xiongnu from the Han or joining forces with the Xiongnu to attack the Han. They are white-eyed wolves that can't be raised. ”
Xi Zhicai also said: "It is not the ordinary herdsmen who really resist the sinicization, but the Wuheng nobles, so this attack on Wuheng, all the Wuheng nobles were executed, leaving no trouble, and the ordinary herdsmen rented them land, helped them build houses, taught them to farm, and they must gradually turn into agricultural population." ”
Guo Jia said: "We need strong cavalry in Liaodong, and if the herdsmen of Wuheng are unwilling to farm, they can also rent their pastures and raise horses for us." ”
Cao Huachun went on to introduce the contradiction between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu: "In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Liu Yu served as the pastor of Youzhou. Accumulate to the Great Sima and seal the Marquis of Xiangben.
When he was guarding Youzhou, he was lenient and benevolent, pacifying the people, and won the hearts of the people. He advocated a policy of Huairou to treat the local nomads, but there were conflicts due to disagreements with Gongsun Zhan.
Liu Yu was ready to reward the nomads with goods, but was robbed by Gongsun Chan many times, Liu Yu could not stop it, so he reported to the court to tell Gongsun Chan about the crime of plundering the people, and Gongsun Chan also reported that Liu Yu was not doing well, and the two accused each other, and the court was unable to deal with it. ”
Gongsun Kang continued: "The lord of Karasuma, a vassal state of Liaodong, has more than 30,000 people, and calls himself the king of the cliff, and this is the first goal we want to conquer. And Wuheng people are Liu Yu's godsons, and Liu Yu must protect them. Therefore, when formulating the campaign plan, Liu Yu should be taken into account. ”
All the strategists discussed together and formulated a detailed battle plan, in which Wu Heng, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Yu were all implicated.
According to the plan, Gongsun Du made a division of labor for the high-level leaders, each with its own responsibilities, with the first step goal of eliminating Wuheng Sufuyan in Liaodong and occupying Liaoxi County.
