406 occupied Jingzhou
When Kuai Liang asked himself if Sun Ce was stronger than Luan Yi after getting Jingzhou, Liu Qi responded without hesitation, "Naturally, Luan Yi is strong!" β
Kuai Liang shook his head one after another, "As Childe said, and it's not a little bit stronger." The chambers of commerce under Marshmallow Luan Yi firmly control the north-south economic and trade of the Han Dynasty and control the world's money and grain; He occupies the seven major prefectures of Dahanqing, Yan, Xu, Henan, Hebei, You, and He, with a population of nearly 10 million households, and far surpasses Sun Ce in terms of financial, material and human resources. In the past few years, craftsmen like him have made battlefield weapons such as thunderbolts, magic knives, and gunpowder. With them in hand, no matter how strong the city is, it is like paper paste for Luan Yi's army. β
Kuai Liang finished the prelude, and his younger brother Kuai Yue continued to add, "Sun Ce can still block Luan Yi from capturing Jiangnan with the help of the Great River Moat. But what about Jingzhou? There is a smooth road north of Fancheng and Xinye, and even there is only a small Xianghe River in the north of Xiangyang, which can't stop Luan Yi's iron cavalry at all. If Gongzi ceded Jingbei to Sun Ce, Sun Ce would definitely not be able to hold this territory. At that time, Jingzhou did not belong to Sun Ce in the first place, and it was harmless to take advantage of and lose, and there was not much loss. On the contrary, it is the lord and son, losing Jingzhou is equivalent to losing the barrier, without Jingzhou, will Sun Ce treat the two of them well? I'm afraid it's hard! β
Kuai Liang said again: "Looking around, smart people like Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao must also think that they can't hold Jingbei at all." So there's a good chance they won't come at all. They will have a chance with Gongzi, claiming that they will send troops to rescue, but in fact, they dare not act, stand still, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. At that time, Luan Ziqi's troops will be overwhelmed, and Gongzi made it clear that he will not surrender, and Luan Ziqi will definitely do his best to attack. The son is difficult to support alone, defeat is a matter of time, and his life is worried not to mention for the time being, even if he survives, he will be a prisoner and end up looking for a knife and beheading. Do the lord and the prince want to end their voices like this? β
"This ......" Liu Qi's eyes trembled violently. Of course not. β
Kuai Yue said again: "So." At the moment, there are only two ways in front of the lord and the son. First, he fought with Luan Yi for his life and ended up in disgrace. Second, he took the initiative to show weakness, took refuge in Luan Yi, and survived with grievances. In the end, it is up to Childe to decide! β
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue sang and sang like a guiding light, pointing out the way forward for Liu Qi. Liu Qi suddenly realized, "If it weren't for the advice of the two gentlemen, my Liu family would have almost died." After saying that, he bowed his hand to the two of them, and then resigned in a panic and went to the back house to discuss with Liu Biao.
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue immediately walked out of the Thorn History Mansion and stood on the steps in front of the mansion, Kuai Yue asked Kuai Liang, "In your opinion, how to choose the main guild?" β
"From what I know about the lord, between life and death, he will definitely choose life. Read the full text of the latest chapter"
"That means agreeing to ask Luan Ziqi to surrender?" Kuai Yue raised his eyebrows and asked.
Kuai Liang didn't respond directly, just looked up at the sky and bowed slightly.
Kuai Yue let out a long sigh, "What we said to Childe just now is true or false, it's a bit alarmist. Isn't it a bit unkind to trick the son into taking refuge in others like this? β
Kuai Liang glanced at Kuai Yue, "What's the solution?" The whole family of my Kuai clan lives in Xiangyang. If you really take refuge in Sun Ce as the lord said, the lord, the son, and you and my brother can indeed move to Jiangdong and survive. But after Luan Yi broke through Xiangyang, what should more than 300 families from the top and bottom of the Kuai family do? You can't move people to Jiangdong with us, right? Therefore, when Xiangyang City was broken, it was the moment of the decline of the Kuai family. Can you bear to watch your family ruin in our generation? β
Kuai Yue shook his head repeatedly.
Kuai Liang said meaningfully: "So, in order to raise our family, we must take the initiative to show favor to Luan Ziqi. In this way, the future of the family can be preserved. β
"But......" Kuai Yue's expression was tangled, "I still feel a little unkind." β
"Nothing unkind!" Kuai Liang said: "I heard that after Luan Yi captured Hebei, he treated Yuan Shao's family very well. Yuan Shao and Luan Ziqi were full of contradictions, and at that time, the two sons fled to Karasuma, and the family could still be treated like this. The lord is sincere in his heart, and Luan Ziqi will inevitably be treated well. It is better for the lord to enjoy his old age in peace, and for the offspring to continue in comfort, than to be fearful and slaughtered now. β
"Yes!" Hearing this, Kuai Yue's depressed self-blame in his heart was soothed a lot, "The general trend is the only way." After finishing speaking, the two brothers glanced back at the deep courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion and sighed: It won't be long before the owner of this place should be changed!
β¦β¦
Liu Biao really fell. Seriously ill, he entrusted his eldest son Liu Qi as a representative and presented a letter of surrender to the imperial court the day after Cao Cao's army captured Xinye.
Since then, Luan Yi has occupied a large area of rich land in Xinye, Fancheng, Xiangyang, and Nanjun in the north of Jingzhou without spending a single soldier, and the southwest territory has been further expanded, reaching the banks of the Great River.
What made Luan Yi even more ecstatic was that he not only occupied nearly 100 cities, but also transferred a group of Jingzhou civil and military including Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Wen Ping, as well as more than 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers.
Most of the guards in the church army were born from the north, and the habit of the northerners who are not good at water warfare is the biggest bottleneck in the future to go south to Jiangdong. Now that he has obtained such a large number of Jingzhou sailors, how can Luan Yi not like it?
In addition, half of the newly acquired generals were good at water warfare. His Chinese employment was particularly excellent, and his skills in defending cities and water warfare were renowned on both sides of the river.
As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, and a general is hard to find, and only one person is worth a naval army. In this regard, Luan Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Overjoyed, Luan Yi decided to go south to Xiangyang in person, on the one hand, to reward Cao Cao, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Ban, Xu Huang and other generals who had made meritorious contributions in this battle. On the other hand, it is to appease the newly surrendered Liu Biao father and son, and to respond to the civil and military.
Hearing that Liu Biao was bedridden, Luan Yi deliberately brought four Zhang Ji's proud protΓ©gΓ©s to diagnose Liu Biao when he went south. Although the diagnosis is not ideal, Liu Biao's body is almost exhausted, and he is afraid that he will not live for a few years. But Luan Yi's careful and considerate actions moved everyone in Jingzhou greatly.
After distributing the massive amount of gold, silver, and cloth brought from Jinan to his generals and guards, Luan Yi made some arrangements for the next layout of Jingzhou. Cao Cao was transferred from Yuzhou and served as the assassin of Jingzhou, and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were appointed as Jingzhou Commanders; Xu Shu served as the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of the three armies; Zhang He served as the Governor of the Jingzhou Army, and Gao Ran assisted him; Wen appointed the commander of the Jingzhou Navy Army, supplemented by Yu Ban and Xu Huang.
At the same time, Luan Yi also ordered Cao Cao and Wen Ping to use the Jingzhou Navy as the team to train a Navy Army from Dongting Lake before the autumn harvest next year, so as to prepare for crossing the Yangtze River to the south in the future to recapture the four counties of Changsha, Guiyang, Wuling, and Lingling in Jingnan, and even to cross the Jiangdong mainland in the future.
In order to ensure the early completion of the new army, Luan Yi specially recruited a group of outstanding graduates from the Jinan Sacred Military Division University Hall and handed them over to Wenren to teach water warfare skills.
These students are all students who have just left the academy, although they have no combat experience, but fortunately, they are all smart, and they are all blank slates. In the past, they have accumulated any combat vices, and at the same time, they are not bothered by the fixed thinking that has been precipitated by experience. Wenpin can carve them at will, and train them into the sailors that Wenpin hopes to achieve.
Wen Ping was very satisfied with this, and immediately received the order with Cao Cao. And in the following time, it began to be implemented, and Jingzhou's defense and government affairs were arranged.
Unlike Cao Cao and Wenpin, Luan Yi is more concerned about the teaching affairs in Jingzhou.
For Qing, Yan, Xu, Henan, and even Hebei, Hebei, Hebei, and Youzhou. In the past ten years, they have long been in the scope of Jinan's center and the Church of Our Lady.
With the widespread spread of churches, the Church of Our Lady is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and under the influence of the monopoly of the religion of Our Lady, the beliefs of the people in the seven states are very single, and there is only one Notre Dame Religion.
The situation in Jingzhou is quite different. Jingzhou is located in the hinterland of the center of the Han Dynasty and is a transportation hub for the north and south. There are more than a dozen religious organizations here, including the Church of Our Lady, the Holy Maiden Sect in Jiangdong, and the Wudoumi Sect (Heavenly Master Dao) under Zhang Lu.
Luan Yi is well aware of the important role of religion in uniting people's hearts, and it can be said that without the Church of Our Lady, he would not be where he is today. Therefore, in order to facilitate and rule Jingzhou in the future, it is necessary to purge the chaotic beliefs in the Jingzhou area.
In this regard, Luan Yi adopts a two-pronged strategy.
On the one hand, Luan Yi adopted an iron-blooded policy to suppress religious organizations such as the Holy Virgin Church, which originated from Sun Ce in Jiangdong and whose teachings were in direct opposition to the Holy Women's Church, and sent troops to destroy various Holy Virgin churches and meeting points.
During the operation, the Aegis practitioners lurking in Jingzhou once again played their role, in the past time, in addition to probing the military situation in the Jingzhou area, they also recorded a detailed list of the meeting places of the Holy Maiden Cult. In just five days, all the dens of the Holy Virgen in Jingzhou were destroyed, and all the principals of the Holy Virgen missions were arrested and imprisoned, and those who were lucky enough to escape were being arrested.
As a result, with the loss of its head and place of worship, the Holy Maiden Church in Jingzhou has existed in name only.
On the other hand, there are ecclesiastical organizations that are doctrinal and do not pose a threat to the Church of Our Lady. On the surface, Luan Yi put on a posture of letting it develop and preaching freely. Privately, he secretly allocated a large sum of money from the treasury of Jingzhou to the Diocese of Notre Dame, and asked him to use the funds to increase the activities of the Notre Dame Church in Jingzhou and improve the welfare policy of the believers in the Diocese of Jingzhou.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty and the canon of Our Lady, believers in the Han Dynasty enjoy more preferential conditions than ordinary people. For example, the policy of encouraging childbirth, which has been implemented since the sixth year of the Holy Dynasty, can only be enjoyed by the Catholics of Mary. Another example is the local church Zheng Quyuan plough and the policy of renting cattle free of charge, which is also only for the Catholics of Our Lady.
Now, the Diocese of Jingzhou has added another discount, but all believers will be rewarded with sufficient food, and attracting relatives and friends to join the church will also receive substantial rewards.
Luan Yi believes that with such favorable conditions, the Church of Our Lady will become the final winner in the next religious competition, gradually attracting believers from other denominations to their own churches.
