Chapter 573: The foreshadowing laid by Liu Wei

Liu Wei temporarily suppressed the excitement in his heart, and held his hands weakly: "Calm down, Wen Ruo, I sent you to Shangjun to take charge of the resettlement of the Hu people, I don't know why you came back so quickly, but what can't be solved?"

The two of them flattened, and Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "Weichen went to Shangjun, was recommended by General Xiahou, and met his deputy Mr. Li Jing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Mr. Li Jing's opinion on the resettlement of the Hu people made me shudder, so I have come to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to make a decision. ”

"Oh? Wen Ruo, you are a genius in the world, this Pharmacist Li's opinion can actually make you shudder, Li Jing, tell me, what did you say that made Wen Ruo shudder. Liu Wei laughed and laughed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has decided to settle the Hu people in the Bingzhou area, the Hu people are nearly more than 700,000, if you want to settle down completely, and you need soldiers and horses to escort you, spend a lot of materials. Your Majesty has calculated the cost of this, as well as the use of manpower and material resources! Li Jing asked.

Liu Wei nodded and said: "Naturally, if you want to settle in Bingzhou, you need the full support of Bingzhou, and the soldiers and horses must also cooperate with ......."

Suddenly, Liu Wei's face sank and said: "Are you saying that when Youzhou is busy relocating the Hu people and can't let go, my soldiers and horses in Youzhou will lose their threat to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will choose to join Zhao Kuangyin to attack Qingzhou?"

"What Your Majesty said is very true, what Mr. Li said to Weichen is this matter, this matter is a big matter, and I ask Your Majesty to decide."

Liu Wei fell into deep thought, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table: "Qingzhou is like a fish in the throat for Yuan Shao and Zhao Kuangyin, and they don't want to destroy Qingzhou all the time. If they wait until the end of their recuperation, when the time comes, there will be a big war, and Qingzhou will not be a big threat to them. If I choose to relocate the Hu people, they will definitely not let go of this great opportunity. But if I don't move the Hu people at this time, and the big war will be together, I won't have time to do this. If it is done arbitrarily in the future, it will inevitably cause the disaster of the Southern Huns, but it will be a lot of harm. ”

Xun Yu reminded again: "But if Your Majesty continues to relocate the Hu people, you can't easily use troops within a year, and Your Majesty is recuperating and recuperating, successively establishing the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture, and accommodating a large number of displaced people in Jizhou, and various policies are being implemented.

This is Liu Bian's current predicament, even if Liu Biao did not relocate the Hu people, Liu Biao could not use troops casually at this time. Native defense can, but taking the initiative is simply impossible.

If Yuan Shao attacks Qingzhou, he will definitely send troops to intercept Liu Wei's soldiers and horses everywhere, so it will be a protracted war, and Liu Wei's inland finances are all used for construction, and now he has not given back from recuperation, so it can be said that he can't afford to fight.

Now that the Hu people are being relocated, it is even more necessary to use the manpower and force of Youzhou and the state, so that the soldiers and horses that cannot be easily used will be even more unable to move.

For example, in addition to the soldiers and horses stationed in Yuyang to guard against Liu Bei, Xue Rengui in Zhuoxian commanded 30,000 available troops. However, these 30,000 soldiers and horses were only limited to a short period of time to go out to fight, and Youzhou, which was originally recuperating and recuperating, could not support the war, and if it dragged on for a long time, the policy of recuperation and recuperation would be ruined.

Now that they choose to relocate the Hu people, these 30,000 soldiers and horses will still serve as escorts, and the officials of Youzhou will devote a part of the use of grain and grass to this. As a result, the original 30,000 available troops could only use 10,000 as soon as they came, and there were too many of them to supply grain and grass, and there were no extra officials to dispatch grain and grass.

As the receiving party, the manpower and force consumed by the state are even greater, and the soldiers and horses of Shangjun, Xihe, and Yanmen must not be used, while the financial resources of Shangdang and Xihe must be supplied for the resettlement of Hu people in the other three counties.

Then you can only use the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Li Xianzhong in Taiyuan, but the financial resources are tilted towards the Hu people, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses may not have extra food, grass and money to send troops. What's more, there is a natural risk of Taihang Mountain between Jizhou and Bingzhou, even if 20,000 soldiers and horses can be used, Jizhou only needs to set up less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Taihang Mountain, and it can drag the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou.

War is not only a game of soldiers and horses, but also a competition of financial, material and human resources. Once the Hu people enter the state of migration, the merger of Youzhou and the state will have no effect on the threat of Jizhou. Although Liu Wei's main army in Luoyang has 40,000, it is also a truth, the construction of Luoyang Pass is more important, and it cannot supply a large number of soldiers and horses to go out.

Xun Yu is equivalent to Liu Wei's Minister of Finance, Xun Yu said that there are no troops to rescue Qingzhou, so there must be none. But Liu Wei will not give up the policy of relocating the Hu people, and this can only be done at this time. Even if there was no relocation of the Hu people, Yuan Shao would definitely get rid of Qingzhou, an enemy who was like a fish in the throat, and if Liu Wei came to the rescue on a large scale, he would definitely destroy the policy of recuperation.

Only after the end of the recuperation will Liu Wei have the strength to destroy Yuan Shao, if the recuperation is destroyed, even if Yuan Shao is destroyed, it may be delayed for several years in dealing with other princes and completely unifying the Han Dynasty.

Qingzhou on the left and right will face this catastrophe, so it is better to consider whether Qingzhou can hold on to the joint offensive of the two sides. Since Qingzhou expelled Yuan Shao's attack, it has been recuperating for nearly three years, and now Qingzhou has the strength to fight a tough battle.

Speaking of soldiers and horses, Qingzhou has about 68,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 sailors, 30,000 infantry troops and 8,000 white-robed troops. In terms of generals, there are Chen Qingzhi and Lin Renzhao, as well as Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Tai Shici, Wen Yang, Lin Chong, Tai Shici, Tang Bin and other generals. At the same time, there is also Yu Yunwen, Xu Shu gives advice, and if necessary, Yu Yunwen can also command the army to fight.

This lineup, even if the two sides have a total of 200,000 troops, Liu Wei believes that with the strength of Qingzhou, it can be defended. And Nanyang also has Chang Yuchun to contain Zhao Kuangyin, and although the soldiers and horses of Luoyang and Youzhou cannot be used to fight a protracted war, they can also be used when necessary.

Liu Wei's idea was that Qingzhou would first insist on resisting for a period of time, and wait until the migration of the Hu people on his side was on the right track. is using some soldiers and horses to create pressure on Yuan Shao and alleviate the danger of Qingzhou.

What's more, there is the birth of Li Jing, this kind of military god, who can turn decay into magic and do things that people can't!

"Even if it doesn't work to relocate the Hu people, Yuan Shao's attack on Qingzhou is imperative, it's just a matter of how much support I have here. With the relocation of the Hu people, there will not be much strength on my side to support Qingzhou, but the strength of Qingzhou should not be underestimated, and it will not be a problem to resist the attack of the two sides! When the relocation of the Hu people comes to an end, I can also send troops to support one or two! ”

Liu Wei stood up as he spoke, and said in a deep voice: "So the policy of relocating the Hu people remains unchanged, Xun Yu, you continue to be in charge of this matter, you don't have to worry about Qingzhou, I have confidence in Qingzhou!"

"It's Your Majesty, Weichen must do his best to take charge of this matter, and strive to complete the relocation of the Hu people as soon as possible." Xun Yu arched his hand.

"It's all about the details, you just have to take your time and don't make the slightest mistake. Even if Qingzhou is defeated, there are also naval troops retreating from the sea, I have received a letter from Yu Yunwen a year ago, they have explored the sea route from Qingzhou to Youzhou, and it will not hurt to lose Qingzhou. Liu Wei took out Yu Yunwen's letter and calmed Xun Yu's heart.

Xun Yu took the letter and read it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Wei invested a lot in Qingzhou, so he was particularly concerned about this matter, Qingzhou was lonely overseas, once defeated, those generals had nowhere to escape. Now that there is a sea route to go, it is equivalent to having a back road, and Xun Yu is not so worried.

Liu Wei looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "Li Jing, you can see the harm of my policy of relocating the Hu people to Qingzhou, and your vision can be described as unique. But this belongs to the strategic vision, it is the talent of the commander, do you know how to use troops? ”

Xun Yu hurriedly introduced Li Jing, the peerless military god, to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, Li Yaoshi is a person from Shangjun, who is familiar with the terrain and customs of Bingzhou, and General Xiahou sent him to me to help me deal with the relocation of the Hu people. And he is also good at handling military and political affairs, he is the deputy of General Xiahou. There is only one way to take care of the county. And often explain the art of war to General Xiahou, an unruly person like General Xiahou, and he also said that he benefited a lot. ”

Li Jing also recommended himself: "The minister has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he is only eager to go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"It's really a handsome talent, hmph, this Xiahou Yuanrang, such a big talent, didn't recommend it to me earlier!" Liu Wei pretended to be angry, looked at Li Jing and said, "Li Jing, since you have such a talent, and let Wen Ruo praise you so much, I should use it for you." However, you see that Yuan Shao will use troops in Qingzhou, so do you have a way to solve the danger in Qingzhou? ”

Li Jing replied: "To solve the danger of Qingzhou, the only way to defend is to rely on Qingzhou's own strength, but Your Majesty's side, you have to use the smallest effort to drag Yuan Shao's most soldiers and horses."

"Oh? Do you think so? Liu Wei asked.

"There are many cavalry in Youzhou, and Xue Dudu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, so he can lead a cavalry to attack the north of Jizhou. Cavalry doesn't need much baggage, and it doesn't cost much to feed the war with war. In terms of merging with the state, Jizhou has the danger of Taihang Mountain, and there are definitely not many soldiers and horses defending Jizhou, so they can be attacked by surprise! Crossing the Taihang Mountain, you can reach Yecheng with a horse and Pingchuan, Yecheng is the capital of Jizhou, if the strange soldiers make meritorious contributions, Yuan Shao must withdraw the troops! Li Jing said his thoughts one by one.

After hearing this, Liu Wei groaned: "Strange soldiers? So you already have a way to understand the danger of Qingzhou! ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Xiaochen is not sure, everything depends on how Yuan Shao arranges it in the future!" Designed according to its gatekeepers. ”

"I know, so you will first follow Xun Yu to take charge of the relocation of the Hu people, and wait for Yuan Shao to attack Qingzhou to prove that what you said is true, and I am using you as a general!" Liu Wei waved his hand.

"No, Weichen retires!" The two of them retreated, and Liu Wei summoned the soldiers and ordered: "Xuan Chen, Gao Shun, and Pei Jun enter the palace!"

Pei Jun was recommended to Liu Wei after Liu Bowen entered Luoyang, and temporarily served as a general in the forbidden army. His four dimensions: 97 in force, 76 in command, 53 in intelligence, and 51 in politics.

However, after a long time, Chen Dao, Gao Shun, and Pei Jun entered the palace one after another to meet Liu Wei. Liu Wei looked at the three of them: "You have been taking refuge in me for a long time, and now I plan to let you go to the place as a general, what do you think?"

Chen arrived, Pei Jun was overjoyed, but Gao Shun was indifferent, and only arched his hand and said: "I am willing to listen to His Majesty's dispatch!"

"Pei Jun, you assisted Liu Bowen in hunting Sun Jian, I named you a partial general, Gao Shun, you have not made meritorious service, I will not be sealed for the time being. Uncle Zhi, the three of you will immediately go to Taiyuan as a general, and Gao Shun, you will pass with three thousand trapped camps! Liu Wei ordered.

"The last will obey!"

Liu Wei continued: "Gao Shun, after you entered Taiyuan, you took the terrain of countless Taihang Mountains with the trap camp and practiced the ability to climb mountains and forests. In addition, there are many ape-armed climbers in the army, and the three of you will train together, and it may be of great use in the future. ”

"Also, inform General Li Xianzhong and let him pretend to be sick and keep his door closed from now on! Wait for my orders. Liu Wei said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The three of them were confused when they heard this order, but they still nodded and agreed, and Liu Bianxin said: "Strange soldiers? Li Jingzhen understands what you mean, now that the road has been paved for you, it depends on how you make meritorious contributions! ”
