Chapter 712: The Age of Innocence
Ritsu Kagawa deliberately gave two harsh conditions to negotiate with Cao Cao. As a result, Cao Cao chose one and rejected the other.
Of course, this result was expected by Ritsu Kagawa. He guessed that Cao Cao would not choose to hand over for the sake of future development.
If at this time, Cao Cao was forced by their pressure to hand over Le Jin to them, would anyone still go to Cao Cao in the future?
Therefore, Cao Cao will definitely strongly oppose this article. At this time, he promised Cao Cao that he didn't have to implement this article, and Cao Cao might be grateful to him.
Therefore, he will happily agree to another condition proposed by their side and return to Qingzhou.
At this time, Cao Cao's heart may be full of joy!
Because although they did not win Ritsukagawa on the battlefield, at the negotiating table, they won Ritsukagawa. Because they rejected one of Ritsu Kagawa's clauses.
This is Cao Cao, and they have face on their side. Then, both sides were able to happily withdraw their troops.
Maybe it's also an art of negotiation, Ritsukagawa isn't sure. However, Ritsukagawa knows that a good negotiation strategy is the result of negotiation, so that both parties feel that they have benefited.
Now on their side, they have got the benefits, and they have got Cao Cao's Yuzhou.
Cao Cao, on his side, must also feel that he has gained benefits. Because Cao Cao got a good reputation for cherishing talents.
To a certain extent, this made Cao Cao feel that he was not a loss against Ritsu Kagawa this time.
Since the negotiations went so smoothly and the ending was so good, then the two sides, after nearly half a year of fighting, could finally withdraw their troops.
Cao Cao withdrew to Qingzhou, and Lu Xiangchuan withdrew his troops back to Anyi. Yuzhou, Lu Xiangchuan asked Xu Huang to send troops and defend it for a long time.
All this could have been said to have been carried out well. But when the troops retreated, Cao Cao's camp had just moved, and the troops of the rear army were chased and shot all the way by Liu Zhilinyi.
The reason turned out to be that in Lejin's team, someone provoked Liu Zhi and them. Liu Zhi's subordinates couldn't be angry, this was the one who pursued Lejin's team all the way.
They are already retired, and Ritsu Kagawa even played this hand with him. Of course, Cao Cao knew that Lu Xiangchuan was deliberate, and Le Jin's subordinates were completely accused of trumped-up crimes.
But, so what?
Can you explain this kind of thing clearly?
If they are strong, they will definitely be able to make it clear, and it will be a big deal to fight back.
But at this time, they were the weaker side, so they suffered the dumb loss of Lu Xiangchuan, and Cao Cao still had to swallow his anger and take people back to Qingzhou.
For Cao Cao, Lu Xiangchuan doesn't want to break the net with him now, Cao Cao is an ambitious person, if you give him setbacks, he will become more and more courageous, he thinks that he will make a comeback in the future.
But if you cut off his way of life at once, he will fight with you desperately and fight to the end.
So Ritsu Kagawa gave Cao Cao a way out. In this way, they achieved the goal of limiting Cao Cao's power.
And Yuzhou came into the hands of Yuxiangchuan, and of course they quickly implemented the system they practiced in Anyi. Buy the hearts of the people and distribute the land to the displaced people.
The implementation of new rice, so that the people of Yuzhou, from now on abundant.
The people of Yuzhou, who are accustomed to war, all of a sudden, have a bumper harvest of grain, everyone does not have to fight, they return to their hometowns to farm, and they can't eat all the rice every year.
Isn't it good to follow His Majesty the Emperor's men and honestly plough the fields and pay grain every year?
People who have gone through war know better the value of peaceful life. At the end of the fifth year of Xingping, the people of Yuzhou, because of the bumper grain harvest, have begun to prepare for the celebration of the New Year.
At this time, who still thinks about which side of the princes to follow to go to war with the other princes? Some of the people of Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, when they heard that the people of Sili and Yuzhou, all lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were envious in their hearts, and they had the tendency to force the local county lords to take refuge on His Majesty's side.
Over time, the sparks burned the prairies, and the people everywhere guarded the local county and deviated from morality. It is hoped that they will be able to rejoin the rule of His Majesty the Emperor and enjoy a life of abundance and abundance.
In all the major states in the world, the people's hearts are no longer in those former states and counties. They all want to rejoin the embrace of the Han family.
In order to conform to the will of the people, Ritsukagawa of course sent Guan Hu to various places to organize these people, and brought the land of various places under his jurisdiction.
The history of the state and the county guards, although they are all unwilling, by this time, the people's will to the emperor has become the trend of the times, that is, they want to use force, and the strength of the army of Kagawa at this time has reached a terrifying level.
In order to deal with the rebellion of the original forces in the states, Ritsukagawa was a large-scale conscription, with the slogan of protecting the country as a family and a happy life for future generations.
This is actually easy for everyone to understand.
The people who came over during the war years, they all know. Under the emperor's rule, these people lived an ordinary and happy life. Well, some of the others, the careerists, they are sure to come and destroy their happy life.
So! In order to defend one's homeland and protect one's family from living this peaceful and happy life forever, a good man must actively serve as a soldier, respond to the call for conscription, and defend his family and country!
Probably everyone has a family, and everyone has an ethnic group. Let them defend the emperor, they may not have much motivation. But let them defend the happy life they have so hard to get, and defend the right of their families to live this happy life forever, many people still actively respond to Ritsukagawa's call for conscription.
Ritsukagawa knew that his conscription slogan would not work in an era of peace. But in the current period of chaos, this slogan will still have an effect.
At the turn of chaos, people have been devastated by war, and if they are given a little bright prospect, they will feel very satisfied, and will desperately protect it.
At this time, people's thinking is relatively simple, and the pursuit is not high. It's easy to get hot-headed and swayed by the passions of the moment. To put it bluntly, it's people who are so bluffing at this time. It is easy to be agitated by some false and empty slogans.
When the days of peace have passed, and people have enjoyed a happier life and more, they have begun to do it, and many people have committed suicide. As a result, people's hearts have become complicated, and it is difficult to lead the team.
But at this time, Ritsukagawa was easily able to recruit a large number of soldiers. And it's all a roar when it starts. The psychological shock to the princes everywhere is also huge.
