Chapter 81: Dispute
"You?"
But Deng Ai was very surprised to see Shi Su, he has always regarded Shi Su as a trusted general, and he thought he knew him very well, but now it seems that Shi Su is not a peaceful general, which makes him very unhappy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't like it in my heart, so I said indifferently:
"You are my trusted general, you should know the heart of the general, but why do you instigate my son to say such a rebellious remark?"
Shi Su saw Deng Ai angry, his face was gloomy, but he knelt on the ground with a "bang", his expression was firm and solemn, he raised his right hand and swore:
"My master is the master of one heart, there is no two hearts, if there is an anti-heart, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
The ancients valued their promises the most, Deng Ai saw this, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and then stepped forward to help the master and said:
"Ben will know that the master is a loyal and righteous person, but this matter is very important, the slightest carelessness will be doomed, you have made a statement, just talk about your thoughts!"
Obviously, Deng Ai was already moved, but he wanted to see if Shi Ji had a plan or was in a hurry.
Shi Su's answer made him feel heartbroken, but it was extremely insidious, and his general strategy was as follows:
The remnants of Wei were established in a hurry, and there was only the land of Liangzhou, but it raised more than 100,000 troops of Zhonghui and Deng Ai, plus the guards of various counties and counties, there were 240,000!
Liangzhou is located on the frontier, not only to guard against the raids of Qianghu at all times, but the environment is even worse, coupled with Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition many intrusions, the actual people of Liangzhou are less than 600,000.
600,000 people raising 240,000 soldiers is equivalent to less than three people raising one person, which is more terrifying than poor soldiers.
There are so many large armies, the collection of grain and grass must be imminent, and the remnants of Wei who cannot afford it will definitely increase taxes, so that the poor people in dire straits will definitely resist, and they will be estranged from the remnants of the Wei court, and the people who love the old will be attached to Deng Ai, he is a fisherman who profits, and he does nothing to get Liangzhou!
The despicability lies in forcing the people to death with his own hands, and he is a good person from it, which makes Deng Ai, who has always adhered to the sage, frown into the word "Sichuan", and the color of entanglement is overflowing.
Although he was still struggling, Deng Ai still wrote to say that he would accept the reward and return to obedience, so he was also waiting to see what happened.
Sure enough, Zhong Hui, who saw Deng Ai's softness, was immediately overjoyed, and asked Cao Huan to collect grain and grass while asking Deng Ai to give 50,000 soldiers to assist in the siege, but he was going to attack Chang'an!
After receiving the military order, Deng Ai's army had returned to Lintao at this time, and when he heard that Deng Ai thought about it, he transferred 10,000 disabled old and weak county soldiers in the army, and then sent 20,000 soldiers to exchange for 20,000 county soldiers and a letter, all of which were brought by Zhuge Xu to martial arts.
Zhong Hui, who received the letter, not only was not angry, he didn't care about what Deng Ai said about the border at all, but when he saw Deng Ai softening, he laughed instead.
Above the court, Zhong Hui said this, Cao Huan was very happy, so that there would be 130,000 troops, and the war against Jin was not far away.
At this moment, Situ Weiqian stood up and played:
"Your Majesty, the hussar general still has 70,000 fully armed troops, if the big Sima rebels, these 70,000 have to be guarded against!"
Hearing this, Cao Huan was also surprised, he had always regarded Zhong Hui as his own person, but that Deng Ai was very unfamiliar, and he was very happy to hear his submission, and now as soon as these words came out, he became suspicious again, and hurriedly looked at Zhong Hui.
Liu Yu on the side frowned a little, although he had a little less doubts about Wei Qiang, who had not moved, but he never gave up paying attention, and now as soon as these words came out, on the surface, he was loyal to the country, but no matter how he looked at it, he was also a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Zhong Hui also looked a little ugly, to be honest, he didn't want to push Deng Ai too quickly, after all, he didn't have an inch of merit at present, and it was really inappropriate to be blindly strong, but he planned to take Deng Ai after taking Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, Situ's words are reasonable, but there are many barbarians in the frontier, and they often attack and harass the border counties, so they have to be guarded against, and our army occupies dangerous places such as Sanguan and Chencang, but there is no need to be afraid!"
Given that Wei Qian was his close friend and confidant, Zhong Hui didn't want to talk too much, and asked instead:
"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, I wonder if Situ has collected enough grain and grass? This war must not be delayed, otherwise there will be no more troops in the coming year! ”
Wei Qian was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Wei at the top, and saw him get up and play:
"Your Majesty, this tax collection is too urgent, and whether the five taxes and three are too much, it will definitely arouse the resistance of the people of Liangzhou!"
Indeed, in order to raise military rations as soon as possible, Zhong Hui asked Sima to calculate, and the data obtained was directly distributed among each household, but it reached an astonishing five taxes and three!
What is the concept of five taxes and three taxes, that is, to take away most of the grain that the people have worked hard for two seasons, and the people are not only handed over to the army rations, but also exploited by the landlords and bureaucrats, and the surplus is not enough, how can we talk about food?
At the moment of this order, the people of Liangzhou have resisted the grain, and have caused several riots, although they were brutally suppressed by the army, they still let many people who could not survive flee into the barren mountains to be the primitive savages.
The Jin State has not paid attention to the remnants of Wei so far, just to let him dig his own grave and come out to be the savior, so that the people are grateful to Dade, why is there any rebellion?
How do you know that Zhong Hui was immediately angry, he came from a famous family, and the royal nobles generally looked down on the low-class people, thinking that they were born to be enslaved, and when they saw this, they hurriedly said:
"The prime minister's words are wrong, now that the Great Wei is in danger, it is the time when the people are dedicated to the country, and our army is risking life and death to go into battle, why can't you cut back on food and clothing?"
Seeing this, Liu Wei shook his head and retreated, he suddenly realized how ridiculous his original choice was, everything now was planned by himself, but now he can only watch the remnants of Wei disappear.
Glancing at the silent Liu Yu, Zhong Hui was smug, he found that this court had become his own hall, and this feeling of waving his fingers made him quite addicted.
When he returned to the camp, he gathered several generals who were performing to discuss the rebellion, but he never found a person with a calm expression, but there was a nervous and excited color in his eyes, he was Hu Lie!
Knowing that there was a lot of turmoil in his territory, Deng Ai, who had returned to Longxi, hurriedly went out to investigate, and his anxious look did not seem to be a lie.
"If you don't pay it, you don't pay it, if you are an official, we are not people, why should we be an official and let us gnaw on the bark of grass roots!"
A peasant with many scars on his body holding a firewood knife in his hand, his expression was excited, as if he had fallen into the verge of madness, and the slightest carelessness would be tyrannical.
Behind him were a group of coarse cloth clothes, with blue and iron on their faces, I don't know if they were beaten or starved and cold.
In the middle of the confrontation between the two sides were a few coarse cloth people gurgling with blood and white eyes, apparently cut down in the battle, with no chance of survival.
Standing opposite, there are a group of county soldiers to catch fast, clustered a big man with cheeks, this big man is dressed in silk cotton, wearing a high crown, but with a big belly, in the chin of the centipede knife pattern, it looks very funny.
I saw him glance at the corpse in front of him, a trace of ferocity flashed in his big eyes, and he looked at the thin people with nervous faces tyrannically, and snorted coldly:
"Lao Tzu also retired from the battlefield, dare to use swords with Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu destroyed your mud legs in minutes, His Majesty's order is the mandate of heaven, dare not obey the mandate of heaven, is looking for death!"
Hearing him say this, his minions, who still had scruples, were immediately encouraged, and they were about to raise their knives.
And the emaciated people arose in fear a violent resentment, hatred for the county officials, hatred for being soldiers, and hatred for the so-called majesty!
Despair was gradually covered with firmness, and they had only one thought in their hearts at this time:
Since you won't let us live, let's all die together!
Just as both sides were about to burst into attack, a majestic and loud voice sounded:
"Stop!"
……
I fell asleep last night, and I was also drunk, so I didn't have time to eat breakfast this morning, so let's take a look first!
