Chapter 292: Natural Selection of the Fittest to Survive, I Am Tianze, You Can Only Be the Fittest—4
"According to Suning's original plan, from this autumn to next summer, it will be a break between the two wars, just like the halftime break of a football game, and when next summer passes, if we can survive it safely, then the second expedition against the Western Regions will be spread out on a large scale."
Yang Fu and Zhao Ang hid at home, discussing the current situation, since they and Yin Feng all received an invitation to drink tea from Jia Xu, they felt that Suning had consciously targeted the traditional family in Liangzhou.
This made them feel a certain danger, so they were ready to immediately analyze the situation and see if it was possible to completely overthrow Suning.
And from analysis to analysis, Suning has strong strength in both the political, economic and military fields, and when combined with several of their families, it is impossible to compete with Suning! Moreover, Suning has a righteous reputation in terms of concept and possession, after all, he is the lord of the entire Liangzhou, and he also has the official position of Liangzhou pastor in the imperial court. The second sister heard that the son of today also relied on him a lot, as if there was some secret agreement between the two, so that the Son of Heaven trusted him almost unconditionally, which made him almost an existence like an emperor in Liangzhou, and there was no strength at all to dare to challenge his authority.
And his performance, as far as the current point of view, is also only for the trust in him in the past few days, one of the main forces of the rebels, Song Jia of Caohan has been taken down by him, and the Wudoumi Sect who launched a rebellion at the same time as Zhang Jiao has almost been flattened by him, and the money and grain accumulated for many years in the past five years have also become his trophies, and it is estimated that it will be transported back to Hanyang County soon.
In addition to the counterattack, Suning also carried out a series of operations to expand its territory, in addition to the eastern part of the Western Regions has returned to the name of the Han court, a large area under the control of the Xianbei tribe, including the upper county of Bingzhou, has also been recovered by Suning's subordinates.
Such an immortal feat, if it were placed in normal times, I am afraid that he would have already been crowned a marquis. However, in this noisy and chaotic era, even if she Suning, as long as she refuses to bribe the eunuchs, it is impossible to get a significant promotion, and sometimes Yang Fu wants to go to Suning to pay this money, so that he can leave Liangzhou earlier and go to the central government to take up his post.
However, he later wanted to understand too much, it turned out that he had served as the pastor of Liangzhou for a long time, not because he could not be promoted, but because he wanted to settle down here, and use this as his base for plotting the world, because Suning has already implemented his Taoism here, and his Taoism has helped Liangzhou to achieve rapid development, and it is impossible for him to give up the memory here, so Suning must have already arranged his own forces in the imperial court, at least the secret agreement with the emperor, It is very likely that he will be able to ensure that he will continue to govern in Liangzhou, and with the support of the emperor, these families may not be able to make big waves.
But now, he has pointed the finger at himself, is he going to sit back and wait for death?
Yang Fu now regrets a little, why didn't he rebel with the Song family in the first place? If that's the case, Suning may not even be able to maintain his strength in Hanyang, but unfortunately now that the Song family has been destroyed, and he, Yang Fu, can no longer find a suitable ally in the entire Liangzhou.
However, they are not completely without opportunities.
Zhao Ang said: "The blow to the nomadic tribe is best to start in the spring, although the Central Plains Dynasty in the spring may also face the danger of not being able to catch the green and yellow, and the problem of bringing the nomadic tribe is even more serious, they are not only facing the danger of not being able to catch the green and yellow, the war horses and livestock have not reached the best state, if they provoke a war at that time, for them, they will also face great difficulties, but the reason why Suning did not do that is probably because the degree of green and yellow is already on par with the nomadic tribe." What's more, those kingdoms in the Western Regions, although the area is not large and the population is not large, but they have begun to settle down, and the settled life means that they already have a place to store, so compared to the supply of food, they are likely to surpass Suning. ”
Yang Fu passed through her point, and suddenly remembered another thing: "Since last year's expedition to participate in the Central Plains to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans, Suning has moved a lot of people from there, Liangzhou is located in a remote area, the environment is bad, there is not enough population, even so, because of the war, there is often not enough food to eat, although in the past few years, he has widely gnawed money in the area under his jurisdiction, planted some new crops, but the accumulation of these years, I'm afraid it's not enough to feed so many displaced people from the Central Plains, and the most critical problem is that he has recently expanded the area of three more counties, which means that the population of three more counties needs to consume his original accumulation. Moreover, he also launched a war in the Hanzhong army, and the war itself consumed a lot of grain and grass, but the war also meant that more counties would be incorporated under his rule to consume his previous accumulation. ”
Zhao Ang waved his hand and said: "The military operation in Hanzhong County is not expected to be a loss-making business, although the captured treasure has not been transported back, and it is not clear how much food and money there is, but according to the current situation, this should be a profitable operation." ”
"Well, even so, the extra Jincheng County, Wudu County, Longxi County, is enough for Suning to spend a period of time to rectify, although Jincheng County was originally a rich place, but since the rebellion, it has become a place where the two sides have been tugging and seeing, and now there has been no decent production for more than a year, I am afraid that the food there will not be able to feed the population there, in this way, Suning needs to paste the grain into it, so that the food they will consume will be hollowed out at a rapid and unpredictable speed, hollowing out the past few years, The accumulation of Hanyang-gun and Wuwei-gun. ”
At this point, everyone present, including the staff of the two families, already understood the meaning of this. If Suning has any weaknesses, then his weaknesses will appear in the spring of next year, when the green and yellow are not available.
In the end, Yang Fu broke their minds with a sentence, only to hear him conclude: "If we can develop next year, then it will definitely form a fatal threat to Suning, the key problem is that we don't have a lot of food on hand, especially the new food he has promoted in Liangzhou over the years, what potatoes and sweet potatoes and the like, we don't have this kind of inventory." So what we need to do now is to start stockpiling food in advance and wait for the fatal blow next year. ”
