Jiaoduan opera, also known as hundred operas, is a folk entertainment performance, popular in the Qin and Han dynasties, and is the prototype of opera.

The red lady was originally a street performer, and among the brothers and sisters she led, there were people who were good at playing tricks.

Liu Mang suddenly remembered Qiao Ji. This man is obsessed with the corner play, and it is most appropriate for him to help design some catchy lyrics.

Winning the hearts and minds of the people is the key to gaining a foothold in the state and striving for world domination. And establishing a personal image is a good way to win the hearts of the people of Taiyuan.

Liu Mang asked Li Yan to go to Qiao Zhiyong after the meeting and "borrow" Qiao Ji.

Liu Bowen said: "Wang Shuyou's so-called virtuous is just a little virtuous of filial piety and mercy. The young master protects the territory and the people, and is a virtuous man for the country and the people. ”

Public opinion propaganda is only an auxiliary, and whether Wang Rou can be forced to take the initiative to let the virtuous is the key.

Although Liu Bowen proposed to kidnap Wang Rou's beloved grandson as a threat, the kidnapping ticket alone may not make Wang Rou submit. It is also necessary to properly display the strength of Xia Yanmen, which makes Wang Rou afraid.

Su Dingfang proposed: "How about the military parade in Yanmen?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little worried: "Although the military parade can deter Wang Shuyou, it will also arouse the vigilance of Xihe, Shangdang and Jizhou. If Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao sent troops to Taiyuan for this purpose, it would be difficult for the Taiyuan strategy to continue. ”

Yang Yanzhao also has concerns: "It's the end of summer, and it's autumn in a blink of an eye. Every autumn, it is the time for the Xiongnu to invade and plunder in the south, if the troops on the border are mobilized, once the Xiongnu invade the south again, will the people of Yanmen no longer suffer disasters? ”

That's what worries most people.

Taiyuan strategy, it is necessary to quickly mobilize the army into Taiyuan in order to ensure the initiative. If the deployment of the army is a little sluggish, even if Wang Rou can be forced to give up Taiyuan, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and even Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to Taiyuan.

Yanmen Yin Pavilion is not close to several important locations in the Taiyuan Raiders. Among them, it is nearly 300 miles away from Jinyang, about 350 miles away from Qi County and Daling, which are important places for defending Shangdang and Xihe, and nearly 200 miles away from Jingcheng Gateway Yu County, which is defending Jizhou.

It was indeed a difficult problem to quickly mobilize troops and take full control of Taiyuan before the other princes could react, while also guarding against the autumn attack of the Xiongnu in the north.

Everyone turned their attention to the military advisor Liu Bowen.

"So-and-so has a plan."

Liu Bowen has already made a bamboo in his chest.

"Yanmen swears to show military prestige. Then, the army waved north, out of Dingxiang County Shanwu, Yunzhong County Wujin, Wuquan. The new defeat of the Xiongnu will make our army like a bamboo, and the remnants of the Xiongnu will be expelled to the north of Yinshan at the end of July. In this way, the Xiongnu will stay away from Yanmen, and it will be difficult to violate Yanmen again before winter. ”

"In this way, it can build the prestige of our army and raise the name of the young master to protect the territory and the people!" Yang Yanzhao was very excited, in recent years, the Han border to resist the Huns, always focus on defense, and take the initiative to pursue the Huns in the north, how can Yang Yanzhao not be excited.

Liu Bowen continued to explain the next plan.

The army drove out the Xiongnu and then divided its troops south. While forcing Wang Rou to make Xian in Jinyang, he quickly stationed in Yuxian County with a section to prevent Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

With a part that is good at mountain warfare, secretly marching south along Luliang Mountain, lurking in the area of Lishi of Xihe County, once Lu Bu will be Gao Shun's trap camp out of Lishi, it can make an attack on Lishi. Lu Bu has no strategy, and he is reluctant to be terminated in Laowo Xihe County, and he will definitely give up Taiyuan and return to Baolishi.

The elite light cavalry in the northbound army quickly moved south and stationed in Qixian and Daling in the south of Taiyuan.

Su Dingfang was good at commanding troops, and his face was puzzled: "Qi County still has a thousand elites of Taiyuan County Lieutenant, how can our light cavalry quickly occupy Qi County?" ”

This involves the second problem of the Taiyuan Raiders, how to solve Guo Yi.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Can you follow Wang Shuyou and lure him to join me?" ”

Liu Mang shook his head.

Guo Yi's matter is indeed troublesome, and Liu Mang and Liu Bowen have discussed it many times.

Guo Yi is different from Wang Rou, he has soldiers in his hands, and it is difficult to persuade him to submit. If you don't solve Guo Yi quickly, you can't quickly occupy Qi County, which will affect the entire Taiyuan strategy.

"There is only one way to deal with Guo Yi. Kill! ”

Killing Guo Yi is easy to say, but how to implement it?

Facing everyone's eyes, Liu Mang and Liu Bowen looked at each other and smiled faintly. "Qi County's affairs, don't worry too much, I have my own arrangements."

The young master is so confident that everyone no longer cares.

Next, there is the detailed division of labor.

ordered Li Yan to bring more money and things and return to Jinyang. With the cooperation of Yan Qing Shiqian and the Red Lady, they contacted the lower officials in Jinyang who were dissatisfied with Wang Rou, as well as the low-level officers in Jinyang, kidnapped Wang Rou's grandson Wang Hui as a hostage and forced him to submit.

Liu Bowen instructed: "Gongzi Li, Uncle Wang is cowardly and indecisive. If his beloved grandson is robbed, his heart will be in turmoil. It is important to contact the right person and point them out when it is critical. ”

"Li Yan understands."

"The persecution of Wang Shuyou is the key to Taiyuan's strategy, and the action time of the rest of the departments needs to be limited to this, when can Li Gongzi do it in Jinyang?"

"It depends."

"Good! That's at the end of August! After the autumn harvest in August, our army had sufficient grain and grass, and if Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao committed Taiyuan, their grain and grass would be difficult to sustain. ”

"Li Yan understands!"

"Good! In Jinyang, it is limited to the day of the autumn equinox on August 18. On the day of the autumn equinox, half of yin and yang, the use of soldiers is lucky! ”

Liu Mang nodded, "On the eighteenth day of August, the autumn equinox, at the same time, Qi County will be taken." Dingfang, the rest of the troops, also marched into Taiyuan on August 18, so they distributed troops and horses according to this arrangement. Oh, by the way, don't arrange it for Youtian and Yanji. ”

Yang Yanzhao stood up and said with his crossed hands: "Go north to expel the Huns, and a certain wish is the vanguard!" ”

Yang Yanzhao is familiar with the Huns, and it is most suitable to have him as a pioneer.

Pingcheng was an outpost against the Xiongnu, and Fu Youde's troops were stationed here and could not be moved lightly. The rest of the Yanmen departments quickly gathered in the Yin Pavilion.

The young master Liu Mang, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiucheng stayed in the Yin Pavilion.

After the army assembled and swore an oath, it quickly attacked and drove the Xiongnu north.

The army took Yang Yanzhao as the vanguard, Man Gui and Hu Luguang each led a light cavalry as the left and right wings, and Su Dingfang and Liu Bowen as the Chinese army.

After the remnants of the Xiongnu in the territory were expelled to the north of Yinshan, the army quickly moved south.

At that time, in the army going north, Yang Yanzhao retreated to the Yin Pavilion.

Man Gui and Hu Luguang each led their headquarters to ride lightly, and entered Taiyuan from Yanmen on August 18, and arrived at Qi County and Daling County within two days.

The young master Liu Mangshuai Su Dingfang Liu Bowen sent troops at the same time to take Jinyang.

Li Xiucheng's troops, who were stationed in the Yin Pavilion, quickly occupied Yu County, Taiyuan County, to prevent Yuan Shao.

Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao's department has sent back the news, and will rush to the Yin Pavilion in the near future to feint the task of attacking Lishi in Xihe County to deter Lu Bu, and it will be handed over to the infantry team led by Cheng Biting Jin Pei Yuanshao who has returned to Shun bandits.

"If there's anything else, tell me in advance."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Young master, going north to resist the Huns, although it is a righteous act to protect the territory and the people, it is also the responsibility of the soldiers. Should we give more benefits to the people, in the name of the young master? ”

Liu Mang pondered for a moment and replied: "How about reducing the taxes of Yanmen County for three years?" ”

"Huh?" The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect that the young master Liu Mang would be willing to invest such a large amount of money. "So good! It will be cheered by all the people, and it will be spread out, and it will also be able to subdue the hearts of the people of Jinyang. It's just that our troops are flourishing day by day, and the tax cuts are so high that it may be difficult to guarantee the cost of the army. ”

Liu Mang nodded, since he dared to speak, there was a solution.
