"Report! Zhang Qingbu occupies Yangzhai! ”

"Report! Yingbei victory! It is often encountered in the spring Du Ru Hui Department, occupying Yangcheng, Negative Millet Gathering, Lunshi and other places! ”

"Report! The enemy's army has been dispersed on the banks of the Rushui River! ”

The succession of good news made Liu Mang's cheeks red with excitement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two major staff, Wang Shouren and Gao Xi, were much calmer.

Gao Xi reminded: "Lord, although the two enemies of Hou and Li are broken, Yingchuan Nanyang has not yet stabilized. Especially in Nanyang, where Yuan Yi has been operating for many years, it is the place where it is based. The people are difficult to soothe, and the lord should make plans early. ”

In a word, Liu Mang was reminded.

Oh, yes!

Although the strong enemy is broken, the people's will has yet to be subdued.

Wang Shouren also said: "Our army even broke the enemy of Yingchuan and Nanyang, and congratulated on the victory, but hidden worries will inevitably arise. ”

"Mr. Yang Ming, please explain it for me."

"It's easy to take Nanyang, but it's hard to defend Nanyang. Nanyang is far away from the foundation of our lord, and it is the foundation of the rise of Yuan Rebellion, and the people's hearts are difficult to soothe, and this is difficult to keep. ”

Liu Mang nodded.

Wang Shouren said again: "Moreover, Nanyang is a place coveted by princes from all walks of life. Liu Jingsheng stationed troops in Xiangyang and Anlu, plotting for a long time in Nanyang. Now that Nanyang Yuan's rebellion has collapsed, Liu Jingsheng will take advantage of the situation to march into Nanyang, and the lord must make plans as soon as possible. ”

Gao Xi added: "The subordinates are also worried that if the lord takes Yingchuan and Nanyang, the princes from all walks of life will definitely be red-eyed. The other princes, there is no need to worry for the time being, what their subordinates are worried about is that Liu Xuande, Cao Mengde, etc., will not be able to get cheap, and they will have different hearts! ”

"Sizzle......"

Liu Mang nodded slowly.

Indeed it is!

The core forces of the Yuan Alliance include Liu Mang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, and Sun Ce and Liu Biao also calculated some strength.

This alliance is loose and fragile.

He captured Yingchuan and Nanyang in a row, expanded a large territory, and increased a large number of people, Liu Bei and other allies must be jealous.

If it is not handled properly, the loose alliance against Yuan may collapse at any time. Even, it is not impossible for a former ally to turn around and become an enemy.

To put it simply, this war is a process of redividing interests and cutting the cake.

Whoever gets the most and the most will be envied by others.

Yingchuan is better, the population is smaller, and the major princes do not border Yingchuan, even if the Central Plains princes are jealous, they can only watch with their eyes.

Nanyang, on the other hand, is close to the hinterland of Jingzhou, which is controlled by Liu Biao. Liu Mang wants to take Nanyang all, and Liu Biao will never agree easily.

Liu Mang listened carefully to the suggestions of Wang Shouren and Gao Xi, and quickly set several principles.

First, Yingchuan and Nanyang were once the foundation of Yuan Shu. These two places must be stabilized first before they can continue to fight Yuan Shu in the south. Otherwise, the forces loyal to Yuan Shu in the two places may cause trouble at any time. Quickly stabilize the situation in Yingchuan and Nanyang, and must not allow Yuan Shu's forces to resurrect in the two places.

Second, before Yuan Shu is completely eliminated, the existing alliance must be maintained. Keep a low profile and avoid irritating the other princes in the alliance.

Third, at this stage, it is necessary to avoid regional disputes with allies. If necessary, assist Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others to obtain some benefits to stabilize the existing alliance.

Liu Mang decided not to enter Nanyang for the time being, but to take Yingchuan Xiangcheng as a temporary base. In this south, Yuzhou is controlled in the south, and Nanyang is controlled in the west.

Envoys were sent to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to inform Cao Cao and Liu Bei of the results of the Yingchuan battle, and at the same time urge them to use troops against Yuan Shu.

Liu Mang promised that he would contain the Yuzhou army in southern Runan on the northern front and cooperate with the troops of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Gao Xi suggested: "Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande are both people with great ambitions and hearts in the world. Yuzhou is newly defeated, and Cao and Liu will win a complete victory with their troops. The lord wants to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to expand. ”

"yes, I've got it in mind."

Liu Mang was urgently transferred to Du Ruyan in Yangcheng and ordered him to send an envoy to Yanxu Erzhou.

Du Ruhui was one of Liu Mang's confidants, and he was sent to remind Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The crusade against Yuan Shu was a righteous move, and it was also a process of redividing the interests of the Central Plains. I hope that Cao and Liu will stop in moderation, don't be greedy, and take the opportunity to grab the territory.

At the same time, Liu Mang made adjustments to the various legions participating in the war.

Wang Zhong's heirs, transferred to Xu County. Yuan Shu in the south, Zhang Miao and Lu Bu in the east.

Yue Feibu, in the battle of Yangyin, made the greatest contribution and suffered the greatest loss.

Adjust the area of Yunxian (now Luohe), Dingling and Wuyang to rest. The surrendered Yingchuan Army was all assigned to Yue Fei's department, and it was reorganized for training.

Often encounter the spring department, enter Nanyang, and quickly occupy Wancheng, Jianyang, Xinye and other important places.

Liu Mang specifically instructed that after Chang Yuchun occupied Xinye, he was not allowed to continue to advance south.

Xinye to the south, although it is also the land of Nanyang, but there is Tongbai Dafu Mountain to block. The rash entry is very likely to trigger a conflict with Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

The decisive battle with Yuan Shu has not yet begun, and there must be no conflict with Liu Biao.

Even if Liu Biao took the opportunity to occupy the southern part of Nanyang, he could only endure it temporarily.

Military readjustment is one thing, and the key to stabilizing Yingchuan and Nanyang lies in subduing the people's will.

Ordered Wang Shouren to go to Yangzhai and temporarily replace Yingchuan County.

Ordered Gao Xi to go to Wancheng and temporarily guard Nanyang County.

Nanyang, with an important location and a large population. The stability of Nanyang is the key.

Although Yuan Shu was a rebel of the Han Dynasty, he had been entrenched in Nanyang for a long time, and he also won the hearts of most of the people in Nanyang.

In a short period of time, it is not easy to eliminate the influence of Yuan Shu on Nanyang.

Gao Xi put forward two suggestions.

First, the original county orders and Cao Pengzuo officials in Nanyang counties should be temporarily retained to avoid large-scale changes of officials, which would cause instability among the people.

Second, Nanyang was the place where Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Guangwu Dynasty raised troops, and it was known as the emperor's hometown and had a large number of prestigious families. The use of the children of the Nanyang family is conducive to stabilizing the heart of the Nanyang family and the hearts of the people.

Liu Mang agreed to Gao Xi's suggestion and promised to greatly reduce Nanyang's taxes.

……

Yingchuan and Nanyang are newly determined, and there are many affairs to be dealt with.

However, Liu Mang's subordinates are all outstanding elites in various eras. Although the post-war affairs were huge and complicated, there were these civil and military talents who performed their duties, and the affairs of Yingchuan and Nanyang were mixed but not chaotic, tense and orderly.

For military and political affairs, Liu Mang doesn't need to worry too much. But there is one thing, Liu Mang has never been able to let go. That's Hou Junji and Li Zhu!

The general trend of the Yingbei Yuzhou army has gone, and Hou Junji and Li Zhu abandoned the large army, and each fled with his relatives.

It is reported that Li Zhu fled to the south of Nanyang, while Hou Junji fled to the northwest of Nanyang.

Chang Yuchun had already sent people south to search for Li Zhu's traces, and Lin Chong Shijin was tracking Hou Junji all the way. It's just that there is no news to return for a long time.

In this battle, Yuan Shu's armies in Yingbei and Nanyang were completely defeated, killing more than 10,000 enemies, and capturing the enemy was even more innumerable. The victory was unprecedented.

However, if Hou Junji and Li Zhu were allowed to escape, it would undoubtedly be the biggest regret.

Hou and Li are the sworn enemies of the Yanchi heroes, and Liu Mang also made a promise to the Yanchi brothers.

If you can't capture Hou Junji and Li Zhu, you will lose your trust in the Yanchi brothers, and you will be even more sorry for Chao Gai's spirit in the sky.

"Good news!"

Hearing Wan'er's cheerful and crisp voice, Liu Mang jumped up suddenly.

"But it has something to do with Hou Li?!"

Wan'er blinked strangely.

She wanted to make a joke with Liu Mang, but Wan'er was too excited to deceive anyone, so she nodded vigorously. "yes!" (To be continued.) )
