Chapter 1071: The Battle of Jingxiang II
King Yan ascended the throne and issued a decree to call Cao Cao and Liu Bei traitors and show them to the world, following the orthodoxy of the Han family, Liu Yi was able to use the means of political propaganda to the fullest. In the art of war, there is a saying that the time is right, the place and the people, the time to ascend to the throne is to win the heavens, and the propaganda is to destroy the other party's people, both of which have to be combined with the advantage of the Yan army's combat power, Liu Yi wants to make use of all the beneficial aspects of himself, there is no one thing in this world that is absolute, one day Cao Liu does not die, it cannot be ruled out that they may turn over unexpectedly, here will never be carried away because of the ascension to the throne, he needs a careful layout to prevent all accidents from happening.
After Cao Cao captured the land of Shuzhong, he deliberately let Liu Zhang and a group of courtiers flee north to Jiameng Pass to lure the snake out of the hole to lure Zhang Ren Yan Yan out of the pass to respond, the two generals were loyal, although they guessed that there might be fraud in it, but the safety of the lord could not be ignored, and the two of them died in the next battle, and Liu Zhang was also captured by the general of the Cao army, Xiahou Dun! Like Liu Bei, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Sichuan, Cao Mengde did not dare to kill Liu Jiyu, but sent him to the Nanjun Public Security to be imprisoned, at this time this also became one of his crimes, Xu Huang's Long Xiang army first attacked Nanjun also did not have the intention of rescuing Liu Zhang, if this person launched an offensive against the Yan army and Hanzhong in hand, it would be a great weapon, a frontal attack is only one of them, the special team trained by Shadow and Liu Yun is also launching a rescue plan, this team Liu Yi named it "Wolf Eyes" after several considerations, and this is also their first appearance.
Cao Mengde has Liu Zhang, Liu Jiyu in his hands, Liu Bei also has Liu Qi, Liu Yi and Liu Biao are both members of the Han clan, they are brothers, this propaganda offensive has also become the focus of the north, since it has been denounced as a traitor, Cao Cao's hussar general and Liu Bei's Yangzhou assassin history will naturally be deposed by the Son of Heaven, Liu Yi ascended the throne as the emperor, his will represents the Han family, unless the two dare to stand on their own, otherwise even regardless of the absolute superiority of the north in propaganda, Cao Liu is also difficult to speak. At this time, it was not the time when Cao Cao was the king of Wei in another time and space, and their strength could not reach the level of self-reliance, and the forcible Yuan Shu was a lesson from the past, which also showed the benefits brought by Liu Yi's accession to the throne.
Emperor Kaiyuan ascended the throne as emperor at the end of July, but the reopening of the battle of Jingxiang did not begin until September, after the war for a full two months of the main forces were rotated to get a full rest, the temporary calm of the front line and the heat in the rear formed a sharp contrast, in Tian Yu, Guo Tu, trial matching, Zhang Hong and others under the full force, countless soldiers, baggage, equipment, grain and grass in the place where the army is stationed is constantly gathered, and the main official roads can not be seen on the transport team that stretches for miles, After many years of careful management by Liu Yi and a group of cadres under his command, the prosperity and strength of Yandi were undoubtedly revealed after this war, and the strong logistics support capability was the basis for the continuous operation of the Yan army.
At the same time, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xunan and other places are also in the process of receiving work in an orderly manner, the officials of Yandi have accumulated a lot of fruitful experience in these work, for the sake of stability, the local grass-roots officials can not move Liu Yi after the investigation of the ears of the heavens, but it is inevitable to receive the training of the governance program in batches and periods, with Youzhou and other states rich and advanced experience in front, these left-behind officials can settle down after a short period of panic, Those who have the slightest ability to make a difference in the officialdom are also extremely serious in the training, and many of what they hear and see can be said to be unique in their lives. And in this process, Liu Yi's promise to keep the promise also played a huge role.
If the states of the Great Han Dynasty under the leadership of the former Yan King and the current Kaiyuan Emperor are compared to a machine, the machine will begin to run at full capacity after the end of the war in Yanzhou, Hanzhong, which is related to the overall situation at the end of the Han Dynasty! It is true that the domination of the world must rely on force in the end, but the preparation work of these things in detail is also indispensable. Emperor Kaiyuan himself is a workaholic, up and down this period of time Hitian Yu Jianyong and others also do not know the day and night of hard work, their efforts are not in vain, just over a month, the newly acquired three states have largely restored the stability before the war, agricultural production has not suffered too much damage, according to Beiping Chen Qun and others based on the data of various places to make an estimate of this year's harvest after the autumn harvest of the three states compared with previous years to reduce the output of about two percent, which is already a miracle for the three states that have experienced the war, And this 20% loss can be completely supplemented by the increase in production in the rest of the states, without any shortfall.
For the vast majority of people at the bottom of the society, their requirements could not be simpler, two meals of food and clothing, inheritance of ancestors, wife and children hot kang, and in the troubled times, this requirement is even lower, to have a relatively stable living environment without worrying about the safety of their own and their families all day long, it is enough to barely make ends meet! And Liu Yi not only gave them a safe and stable life, but also made them gradually become rich, the family has fields to cultivate, there is surplus grain every year, and they can occasionally be extravagant in the market during the New Year's holidays, what is happiness, this is happiness in the hearts of the people! Drinking water and thinking of the source, they were naturally grateful to Liu Yi who gave them all this, and it was not difficult to explain Lang Sheng's high prestige in Yandi and his performance in the battle of Sili.
In addition to not having Liu Yi's vision from later generations, Cao Cao and Liu Bei and the talents around them will not be under the people of Yandi, but there is a big gap between this kind of vision over the years, Yanzhou is the place where Cao Mengde started, and it can be regarded as deep-rooted here, and the people's stable life naturally has great loyalty. But the most afraid of everything is comparison, two meals a day at home, but in Yandi is three meals, their own family can barely feed two children, but in Yandi, there is still the local county government to share, more importantly, if the younger generations in the family are good enough, they can also get the opportunity to be educated, those businessmen from all over the world will always promote the wealth and strength of Yandi everywhere, this is not an intentional propaganda war but more real than the former, people's yearning for a better life is irrepressible, In the aftermath of the war, they also felt the truth of the rumors, that this was an invasion between princes, not a battlefield of alien invasion, and that soon these people would be able to adapt to this new rhythm of life.
In terms of public opinion, a propaganda offensive was carried out, various effective means were adopted to calm the people's minds, so that the newly acquired land could be stable for a long time, and militarily the method of resting and accumulating strength and focusing on assaults made the opponent never get the opportunity to recuperate. Of course, there is also a strategy is the strategy of differentiation, originally with the knowledge of Cao Liu and Sun, it can be seen that they do not join forces to fight against the north is a dead end, so it is not easy to divide the three heroes at that time, but now with the victory of the two-line battlefield The situation has changed dramatically, the strength of the three heroes is not under the north, but after this defeat, they can work together in time to fall behind militarily, not to mention the political, economic, people's livelihood, etc., the longer the gap drags on, the more obvious it is, This is the most appropriate time to use the means.
It is quite risky to go to Jingnan to contact Sun Ce, although there is a great deal of certainty, the little overlord does not dare to hurt the messenger he sent, but for the sake of everything, Liu Yi, an important minister like Guo Jia and Jia Xu, will still not be sent, at this time, Liu Yun, the head of Tian'er, took the initiative to ask Ying, speaking of his understanding of Sun Ce's subordinates, I am afraid that no one can come out of this today. Over the years, he has led Tian'er to perform many miraculous feats on the hidden front, and no one dares to question the adaptability of the second shopkeeper, Liu Yi considered and repeatedly agreed to Liu Yun's request, of course, his identity as the head of Tian'er must not be exposed, just as a secret envoy of the Son of Heaven.
When the heroes crusaded against the Yellow Turban, Sun Jian and Liu Yi met quite well, and then he served as the vanguard to attack Bishui Pass, but Yuan Shu delayed the grain and grass and was anxious to fight under the ambush of Huaxiong Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Jiangdong's children suffered heavy losses, Sun Ce fought out of the siege and asked for help, it was Lang Sheng who went to the hard battle to rescue him, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Yi has the grace of reinvention to Sun Jian's father and son, and Sun Bofu is also his younger generation, after this battle, the little overlord is an uncle to the three brothers.
Liu Yun is going to carry the Son of Heaven's handwritten letter and secret edict, Liu Yi recalled the feelings of his comrades with Sun Jian in the letter, and said that Wentai Gong was fighting for the country at that time, loyalty, righteousness, and courage, and it was also a meritorious service, and now Bo Fu does not follow his father's will to serve the Han Dynasty but wants to be the enemy of me, it is really unwise, the king's account, Zhou Gongjin, Lu Zijing, are far-sighted and brave people, and they will not be unable to see through the general trend today. Cao Cao and Liu Bei have already listed him as a traitor to the Han Dynasty, vowing to raise troops to get rid of it, but he still remembers a little bit of the old people's feelings for Bo Fu, hoping that the king can get lost and return to contribute to the Han family, then the glory of the Sun family can be preserved, and it can also be used for the benefit of future generations.
Liu Yi did not make any promise to Sun Ce in the letter to cut the land and govern, all he could guarantee was the reputation and wealth of the Sun family, but it was impossible to have more demands in politics, and thousands of words were sprinkled throughout, and there was no mention of the life-saving grace of the year. In terms of diplomacy, this is not a very good way, as the saying goes, the sky is asking for money everywhere, if you change the little overlord will doubt his sincerity and disdain, but Liu Yi is an exception, he is an invincible general in the world and a commander who wins a hundred battles, what he said in this letter is his true style, and no one will doubt the effectiveness of Liu Yi's promise!
