Chapter Ninety-Four: Yuan Shu Comes to Attack Liu Shibubing
After the arrangements were made, Liu Shi returned to Shangluo. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Shang Yu has 2,000 soldiers guarding the Wuguan Road, including 1,200 brave and 800 young soldiers. These people are unified by Dian Wei and Gao Shun.
In particular, Gao Shun asked Liu Shi to select two hundred elites from more than 1,000 people to form a trap camp, which was extremely strong, and Dian Wei did not dare to take it lightly, and Liu Shi was extremely satisfied.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in chaos, there is force to be the king of grass, which Liu Shi can see clearly. It's a pity that the place where I live is poor and bad waters, and I can't afford to raise more troops. If you don't pay the court tax and hemp, maybe you can raise a little more. But this is impossible, especially after the reversal of the Kanto, the grain and grass in the Guanzhong are all provided by the land of Sanfu, Hongnong, and Hedong, which is already extremely tense.
It's not unprepared, though. Liu Shi took the county nearly 100,000 people under the pretext of guarding against the invasion of the rebels. In this way, there were almost 20,000 brave men, who were trained not only to resist forced labor, but also to give them a full meal at noon.
Therefore, the training is extremely active and very attentive, which can be regarded as a force that Liu Shi has prepared for himself. In addition, the caravan organized by Liu Shi escorted 300 people, and the Danshui boat escorted 200 people. A hunting party of several hundred people led by Cao Xing. In this way, it is not bad for a county to support so many people.
Due to Liu Shi's strong suppression of bandits, coupled with light forced labor, light taxes, and organized caravans to transport the products of the merchants in exchange for grain in Nanyang and Hanzhong. This Shang Yu seems to be peaceful and peaceful, but recently, there are more and more displaced people in Nanyang and Chang'an.
Last year, this homeless person came, which made Liu Shi happy, and he was finally able to increase the population of Shang Shi a little. But there were too many homeless people, and it made him troubled.
At this time, a personal guard came in and said, "Lord Captain! Li Xiancheng is here. ”
Liu Shi nodded and said, "Let him in!" ”
"Li Si meets Lord Captain!" Before he could finish speaking, a scribe in his thirties entered. This person is Li Si, compared to more than four years ago, when he first met Liu Shi, he was much stronger, at least his face was red and white, and he also had spirit.
"Li Xiancheng, please sit down, I don't know what to do with me?" Liu Shi glanced at Li Si and said.
Li Si stood up again and said, "In the past month, nearly 5,000 displaced people have come from Nanyang, how do you arrange these people?" Also, I heard that the grain road along the Nanyang Road is also blocked, and there are many displaced people, and then this grain will be a big problem. ”
Liu Shi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there a place to settle this Shang Yu?" Do you have any good suggestions? ”
Li Si sorted out his thoughts, coughed lightly, and said: "From the end of last year to last year, Shangluo County has received nearly 30,000 displaced people, including Chang'an and Nanyang. Coupled with the original refugees who went to the mountains to go down to the mountains to follow the good, in this way, the Shang Luo has a population of nearly 100,000. Shang was originally a mountainous land, with few fields, mostly thin production areas, and the harvest was not high. With so many people added at once, the number of people who can drive is almost open. Only the vicinity of Chiyang can still be developed a little. But it's not a problem for so many displaced people to go here all day long. Once there is a natural disaster, something big will happen to Shang Yu. I heard that General Yuan of Nanyang is fighting all day long, Nanyang is now a family drawing, every household donates grain, and the merchants are three times the requisition, and there are not many people to plant grass and make hemp. If the war does not stop, it is estimated that more people will flee the desert in the future. I think the Captain should prepare early. This Wuguan Road is the main road connecting Chang'an and Nanyang, and General Yuan may not have the heart to come over and occupy Shangluo. ”
Liu Shidao: "I have considered this, but I can't drive them away when this homeless person comes." As the county magistrate, the shepherd has to do something for the people. In the face of troubled times, try to keep them alive as much as possible. Since there is still a place in the direction of Chiyang, let them go! This Chiyang faces the three counties of Lingbao, Lu Hun, and Wushi. The land of Yingchuan is also currently full of wars, and we have also sent many people here to monitor. Let them stay in those three directions! It is also possible to strengthen the forces in the following three directions, and in a few years, it will also be possible to solve the food supply in the station. ”
"This is the food for these thousands?" Li Sidao.
Liu Shi waved his hand and said, "Go find Zishi." However, you must carefully register the population and number of households of these displaced people. Talk about the tax rules of the new cultivated fields, the laws of the court. ”
Li Si said: "I have done it well in the past few years, and I will not make mistakes." Lord Lieutenant is such a compassionate man. ”
As soon as Li Si left, Liu Shi found Liu Zhen, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, as well as Liu Zhuang, Liu Hu, Xu Yin and several others. Cao Xing went into the mountains to hunt and did not return. Everyone discussed together how to protect themselves in the face of troubled times. Keep this place of peace. As he was talking, a guard came in and gave Liu Shi a silk book. Liu Shi opened it and saw that Yuan Shu had sent a large army to receive Shang Yu. It is estimated that about 7,000 people have passed the Bauhinia Pass and asked how to deal with it. ”
Liu Shi frowned, and handed the silk book to Gao Shun and a few others to read one by one. Dian Wei scolded: "There is no good person in this Yuan family, who has harmed Nanyang and come to harm Shang Luo." Son! It doesn't matter what kind of fourth world and third prince he is, ignore him at all, and beat him if he comes hard. If it wasn't for his Yuan family, the son would not have come to this place where the birds didn't want to lay eggs. Now that the son has been governed better, he has come to harvest the fruit again. ”
Liu Zhen took the silk book and said: "This Yuan Shu is the younger brother of Yuan Shao, the lord of the Guanan Association, if we oppose Yuan Shu to receive Shang Luo, isn't it the right of the allies?" I heard that the eldest prince also joined the Allied forces. If we oppose the Allies, we are against the Grand Prince. ”
Gao Shun said: "You can't say that, the eldest prince followed Gongsun Taishou to the alliance." Besides, the alliance meeting ended early, and Gongsun Taishou also returned to Youzhou. Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, and did not govern Nanyang well, but used military force and wanton conquest. What's more, this Shang Yu belongs to Chang'an Yin, although Prime Minister Dong Cheng said that he abolished the emperor and established a new one, but this new emperor is also the first emperor's favorite neutron, the first emperor originally wanted to set up a neutron as the crown prince, but he was afraid of General He, so he didn't have time to replace it. The Lieutenant also knows this. To say that Prime Minister Dong Cheng has dictatorship and domineering, but there is no stealing the country for the time being. You see, most of the ministers in the DPRK are Qingliu Party members, and there are also former ministers of the first emperor, and there are very few people in Prime Minister Dong himself. Moreover, he couldn't command those families, and the sergeants he mastered were only the Xiliang Army and part of the Northern Army and the Xiyuan Army, and he did not expand the army and eliminate dissidents. In my opinion, it is better for us to respect the emperor and block Yuan Shu. ”
"Good! This Yuan family is not a good thing. Some time ago, I heard that Yuan Shao used a trick to seize Jizhou. For this, he also fought with Brother Gongsun. Yuan Shu is even more violent to Nanyang and wantonly expands the army, this is not a small ambition, what are they going to do, it is difficult to say, but it is not just for the side of the Qing monarch. Liu Shi said this, and then looked at the few people sitting there and said: "Zishi quickly went to gather eight thousand strong soldiers, of which five thousand followed the evil to come and go and ambushed fifty miles away from here, let go of Yuan Shujun, and the other three thousand followed me and Chengren to meet Yuan's army. After solving this Yuan army, Cheng Ren quickly took 3,000 Zhuang Yong to the old site of Wuguan to build a city to defend the city to prevent Yuan Shu from committing it again. ”
Gao Shun said: "Didn't the book of war say, don't stop returning to the teacher?" ”
Liu Shi said with a smile: "Yuan Shu's soldiers are rarely trained, almost the same as the Yellow Turban Army that entered the mountain, and in the case of our army's defeat, encircling and annihilating is also to show Yuan Shu our strength." If you want him to think about it again, we are not what he wants. If you can achieve your goal, let the prime minister know! As for the defense of Danshui, Xu Yin is in charge, and if there is anyone who wants to escape, he will annihilate the enemy in the water. ”
Dian Wei said: "Childe! It's better to let Gao Shun ambush and let me stop it. ”
Liu Shi smiled: "Do your subordinates have such an elite trap army as Gao Shun?" If there is, let you block it. ”
Dian Wei's face darkened, and he said, "No." ”
"Then don't go yet!"
"Yes! Son! With that, he walked out. Several people laughed, and Liu Zhen quickly found someone to recruit Zhuang Yong.
