Chapter 1008: Liu Bei has been very comfortable lately
The war is raging, the princes of the world, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but there is one exception, that is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Men Liyu recruited the Langya Wang brothers.
Wang Dun put forward the strategic policy of attacking Yuan, Liansun, and resisting Cao, and Wang Dao pointed out the diplomatic idea of "external liaison and internal defense" for Liu Mang and "alliance without alliance" with Yuan Shao.
Liu Bei was overjoyed and called himself "like a fish in water".
The world was full of smoke, Liu Bei seized the opportunity to start a war against Yuan Shu again!
The two armies, the north and the south attacked separately, and the battles were victorious.
On the south road, Guan Yu, Wang Dao, and Shi Tianze successively conquered Quanjiao and Fuling in the southeast of Jiujiang.
On the north road, Liu Bei personally commanded the army and successfully captured Yinling, an important town in Jiujiang.
Jiujiang is the seat of the Yuan Shu puppet Han court.
Losing cities and lands one after another, Yuan Shu was in Jiujiang, and only a few cities such as Shouchun and Hefei were left in the west near the two major lakes of Shaobi and Chaohu.
……
Since Liu Bei started his army, the battle of Jiujiang has been the most comfortable!
The staff is well planned, and the generals are brave enough to be the first. Expand your territory and harvest your population. And what made Liu Bei happiest was that this battle was almost no consumption!
Liu Mang provided military horses, and Yuan Shu provided military rations free of charge!
Jiujiang County is rich, and collecting grain and grass in situ can almost meet the needs.
Yuan Shu's contribution is not only the grain and grass, but also the people's hearts!
In order to guard against Liu Mang and Liu Bei, Yuan Shu wantonly amassed money and grain, and within a year, he raised taxes several times, and the poor people were miserable. Obeying Jia Yidao's suggestion, the monopoly of grain, salt and cloth was implemented, which caused complaints from the family.
Yuan Shu expropriated violently and amassed money, but he gave the people's hearts to Liu Bei!
After Liu Bei occupied Yinling and other places, he wanted to be exempted from heavy taxes to reassure the people. Director Wang suggested that there is no need to be exempted, and it can be halved.
The halving of taxes can not only make the people feel Liu Bei's leniency, but also collect military supplies, and also leave enough space for reducing taxes in the future.
Liu Bei listened to Director Wang's suggestion and easily gave an order to halve the tax, which won the cheers of all the people and made a lot of money himself!
Liu Bei enjoyed the fun of war for the first time!
When I dream, I can't help but laugh!
……
In the development plan of Liu Bei and the Wang brothers, Jiujiang is the foundation for future development
Therefore, Liu Bei seized Yinling, Quanjiao, Fuling and other places, and did not rush to expand the front, but seized one place, pacified one place, and ensured the stability and stability of the occupied place.
The Xuzhou army is like a bamboo, Wang Dun suggested, in one go, go straight to Shouchun, and completely eliminate Yuan Shu!
Liu Bei has his own ideas.
The situation in the world is too chaotic.
None of the surrounding princes is good at stubble.
It is the wisest choice not to show the mountains and water, and to make a fortune without making a noise.
Get carried away, be too public, and sooner or later become the target of public criticism.
The offensive is too fierce, and if Yuan Shugou is forced to jump off the wall in a hurry, it will also be troublesome.
Moreover, war must go hand in hand with diplomacy. Blind expansion will cause endless misfortune.
However, Wang Dun was not the only one who advocated the pursuit of victory. The successive victories are inspiring, and most of the generals in the army have this idea.
Liu Bei treats people and things very cautiously.
The name of "generous elders" is not a casual evaluation.
Although Liu Bei is the master of the house, he never imposes his ideas on others, including his subordinates.
When opinions cannot be unified, Liu Bei will always take the initiative to communicate with his subordinates separately to eliminate estrangement.
This time, we still adopted the method of talking separately and communicating with the principal staff and generals.
First of all, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were found, and they ordered someone to roast the fat sheep. The three brothers sat together, ate a sheep together, and chatted while eating.
Guan Zhang and the two are only Liu Bei and Ma are the first to look forward. Although he was eager to fight, after listening to the explanation of the eldest brother Liu Bei, Guan Zhang expressed his attitude together: Listen to the eldest brother!
There are no outsiders, and it is rare for the three brothers to talk easily. While chatting, Xu Shu came and said that Jizhou Xun Chen had arrived in Xuzhou and asked to see Liu Bei.
"Why did Xun You come here?"
"If you want to persuade the lord to come to the table, please ask Your Majesty to pro-government."
"Sizzle......" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, and ordered Xu Shu to rush back to Xuzhou first and entertain Xun Chen. Whether to see or not to see Xun Chen, Liu Bei should consider carefully.
Xu Shu left, Liu Bei was silent, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.
Zhang Fei was puzzled and said, "Isn't it just the little emperor's pro-government, what's the big deal?" ”
Guan Yu looked at the problem more deeply than Zhang Fei. "Third brother, Your Majesty's pro-government is not a trivial matter. Yuan Benchu was targeting Liu Jiangtian. ”
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and scratched his head: "I don't understand this, anyway, I only listen to my eldest brother!" ”
Liu Bei was embarrassed.
Between Yuan Shao and Liu Mang, there is a trade-off. There is also a trade-off between Liu Mang and the little emperor Liu Xie.
Whether you see Xun Chen or not, and what you say when you see it, you must consider it carefully.
"Yun Chang, what do you think?"
Guan Yu said: "Liu Jiangtian has an alliance with us in Xuzhou, and promised Yuan Benchu to betray Liu Jiangtian, which is unjust. ”
Liu Bei sighed and said: "The second brother puts righteousness first in everything, and he is really a big husband!" After praising Guan Yu, Liu Bei changed his words: "However, Your Majesty's pro-government is not only loyal to the king, but also loyal to the greater righteousness." ”
Guan Yu's political opinions, of course, are not as good as Liu Bei. "That'...... I also listen to my eldest brother. ”
Liu Bei nodded, instructed Guan Zhang not to make a noise, and asked the two to retreat. Ordered someone to arrange a formal banquet and asked Wang Dun to come over to discuss.
……
Wang Dun's opinion is simple and direct: the Son of Heaven is pro-government, the will of heaven is in line with the will of heaven and the people's popularity, and it must be supported!
More importantly, the pro-government of the Son of Heaven can intensify the contradictions between the little emperor and Liu Mang, Liu Mang and Yuan Shao!
Although Liu Mang and Yuan Shao are not Xuzhou's enemies at present, they will be strong opponents in Xuzhou sooner or later.
Liu Mang and Yuan Shao are already full of contradictions. If you can take the opportunity to intensify the contradiction and make the two tigers compete, the benefits will be endless!
The two powers are bound to win over the forces of all parties, and Xuzhou can take the opportunity to reap the benefits.
In the most ideal situation, Liu Mang and Yuan Shao are both defeated, and Liu Bei can not only improve his status and voice among the princes, but even replace him, it is possible!
Wang Dun's analysis made Liu Bei's heart pound.
But Liu Bei would not expose his heart and indifferently asked Director Wang's opinion.
Director Wang's thoughts are similar to those of Wang Dun.
However, Director Wang felt that this incident was not only an opportunity to reap benefits, but also contained a lot of risks. If you accidentally offend Liu Mang, the consequences are serious.
Wang Dao believes that supporting the pro-government of the Son of Heaven is a move to grasp the righteousness. However, the above performance will inevitably cause Liu Mang's dissatisfaction.
"What is Maohong's (Wang Daozi)'s good strategy?"
"Secretly contact the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and express it euphemistically."
Liu Bei nodded, his face embarrassed again. "Liu Jiangtian has an alliance with me first, and this move is unjust......"
Wang Dao said: "Loyalty to the king is loyalty, and the covenant is small righteousness." Take loyalty and righteousness and sacrifice small righteousness, and great righteousness! ”
Liu Bei finally made up his mind, but he still had a very guilty look on his face: Liu Jiangtian, it's not that Liu Bei is sorry for you, it's righteous!
In the name of the great victory of the rebellious Yuan Shu, Liu Bei prepared a few generous gifts and sent them to Luoyang.
There are gifts for the little emperor, and there are also gifts for Liu Mang. Liu Bei also ordered people to prepare several valuable but unassuming gifts, and quietly gave them to the little emperor's close ministers Dong Cheng, Chong Ji and others. (To be continued.) )
