Chapter 845 Situation and Changes
"Without military power, all that remains is the allocation of financial power and personnel. Needless to say, the two sides are so close to each other, and there is no artificial obstacle, and the circulation of wealth itself is a great benefit. As for personnel...... Although the academy has focused on training, there is still a big personnel gap in various places, and it is rare for Zhang Yan to have the determination to grasp practical things and his attitude is also very serious, so it is better to go with him. ”
There were not too many twists and turns in the second half of the negotiation, Zhang Yan said that he wanted to think about it, but the bait that Wang Yu threw out of the special zone was really fragrant, and he had no reason to refuse. Even if the worst happens, Wang Yu can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and there is no psychological burden to turn his face.
As for whether there will be any negative impact on such a country within a country, Wang Yu didn't care at all, and gave a detailed explanation to the civil and military forces at the next military meeting.
"The lord's method sounds incredible at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it is wonderful. Zhang Yan has survived so far, and the battle is nothing more than a breath of injustice, and now that the lord has given in, what else can he be unfair? If he is still stubborn, not to mention what the world thinks of him, I am afraid that there will be trouble within the Montenegrin army. ”
Lu Su has always been in charge of the Huairou work of several allied forces, and he knows very well where the crux of the problem is, and the concept of the special zone proposed by Wang Yu has just solved the biggest trouble, so that Zhang Yan cannot put forward any rebuttal opinions. Zhang Yan is the biggest opposition, he is dumbfounded, and the remaining small stumbles are not a big problem.
"The lord's analysis of the four people's theory of Guanzi is also incisive, so as to compare and confirm the prosperity of my Qingzhou. Fang knows that everything is already determined, and there is no trace of luck. Zhuge Liang also made a rare heartfelt admiration.
Since enlightenment. Guan Zhong is his ultimate idol, and Zhuge Liang knows Guan Zhong's life and deeds well. Even so, Wang Yu's analysis of Guan Zhong's famous words still made him feel refreshed and suddenly enlightened. From this, it is known that the image of Guan Zhong in the minds of the world may be somewhat different from the real Guan Zhong.
When he was a student, he once criticized the official prostitution system founded by Guanzi, thinking that it was a stain on the fame of a generation, but now think about it. Since the ban is endless, it is better to directly manage it by the government, which is conducive to social stability on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also has the role of promoting consumption. ”
Zhuge Liang heard Wang Yu's previous sentence with great relief, and felt that he finally didn't take Kong Ming to the ditch, Kong Ming was still the great talent in history. The latter sentence made him laugh and cry, the current Qingzhou New Deal. It is true that it has begun to tilt towards encouraging consumption, but it has nothing to do with the official prostitution system.
Guan Zhong was an official prostitute back then, maybe he just took a fancy to this income, and by the way, he balanced the tension between the people and the people. At that time, the state of Qi had not experienced a large-scale war for a long time. The privileged class of scholars were all extremely ferocious and extravagant, and kept a large number of beautiful women in their homes, resulting in an imbalance in the ratio of men and women in the country. If there is no proper outlet for this, it will lead to turmoil.
However, Zhuge Liang is still young. These truths may not make sense to him, and Wang Yu also messed around with a haha. Thinking that when there is an appropriate opportunity, we must do some guidance, so as not to go crazy for a generation of talents.
"There shouldn't be any twists and turns in the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, there are still some tails on the side of the senior cadres, Yuan Zhi, Zijing, this matter will be discussed and handled by the two of you, as long as it does not violate the main principles, the conditions can be relaxed as much as possible, and remember to deal with it properly as soon as possible. Yuan Hao will also go south to Handan in the near future, and he can lead the contact in government affairs. ”
Involving three counties and one state, millions of soldiers and civilians, the general direction is just the beginning, and the real implementation is also a thousand things, Wang Yu also behaved quite cautiously, and directly sent his three major talents.
"Ministers should do their best." Xu Shu and Lu Su got up in unison and promised in unison.
Gao Gan's side is mainly the handover of the territory, and the elite troops are all private soldiers created by the Gao and Yuan families with heavy money, of course they have to take them away and go to the border to fight the world, relying on these descendants. The training and morale of the remaining local troops are very poor, but there are also 10,000 or 20,000 people, and whether they are demobilized or received, they need to be handled carefully.
The main problem on the side of the three western counties is the reorganization of the army, and the Montenegrin Army also started from the first year of Zhongping, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban that have survived to this day, there are many veterans of a hundred battles in the army. The combat strength of the Montenegrin army is ordinary, mainly because their equipment is too poor, Zhang Yan and other leaders have not accepted the inheritance of the art of war, and they all use wild roads to fight, but these veterans are not to be underestimated.
Although Wang Yu promised Zhang Yan that he would let the Black Mountain generals go and stay, such an elite force could not be easily let go, and it was the safest to absorb the hussar army sequence as much as possible.
Wang Yu thinks about it himself and thinks it's quite interesting, his own world-famous hussar army, in the final analysis, is actually a patchwork of pieces, Taishan strong crossbow, white horse Yicong, Luoyang Northern Army, and Zhou Iron Cavalry, in addition to the rest of the Yellow Turbans.
And the largest number of them is the rest of the Yellow Turban, think about Cao Cao in history, in this troubled era, it is really the Yellow Turban who wins the world.
"The incorporated Montenegrin Army and the Merge State Army were temporarily under the Taishan Army sequence, but in fact they became an army of their own, and Yuan Zhi scattered the teaching team into it, and trained it as a whole, and when the Taishan Army returned from northern Xinjiang, the two armies were combined into one to form the Western Army, which was responsible for the westward attack. With Yuan Zhi as the commander, supplemented by Zijing, Wen Qi and others, this army occupied all the key passes in Shangdang and Taiyuan as soon as possible to contain the edge of the Xiliang army. ”
"Whoa!" Although it had been expected for a long time, when it really came to the moment when Wang Yu gave an order and formed the Western Army, Xu Shu was still excited, and it was difficult for him to help himself.
The eyes of the others looking at Xu Shu were also full of envy. Commander-in-chief of the front army, although Qingzhou's policy now does not pay attention to splitting the territory and sealing the territory to raise merits, it is also a consistent principle to distinguish rewards and punishments.
First, there was the extraterritorial sub-feudal system of Pingbeice, and now there is a so-called special zone, and the lord is strict in general principles, and the flexible style of specific disposal is also clear at a glance. As long as there are meritorious deeds. Are you still afraid that you will not be able to fulfill your military exploits in the future?
The greater the responsibility, the stronger the ability to make meritorious contributions. The commander of the front army even had the merit of destroying the country and killing the king. Even if you can't be the king with a different surname, you can leave a name in history.
For now, only Zhang Jaw can barely be regarded as a standalone, but his nature is different from Xu Shu's, Xu Huaijun is responsible for defense, and the area under his jurisdiction is also called the defense area, at most he is a defender, and it is not the same thing as the front army at all.
Today's Xu Shu is not an exaggeration to say that it is one person under ten thousand people.
Envy is envy. Everyone behaves very normally, the army will sweep the world sooner or later, the lord does not have three heads and six arms, and he will not be able to separate the technique, and he will naturally give power to the following in the future, although this opportunity is precious, but it is not unique, the key is to see if he can grasp it.
As the saying goes: instead of envying the fish in the abyss, it is better to retreat and close the net.
Everyone congratulated. Xu Shu was excited, but he also did not forget to thank him one by one.
During the whole process, Wang Yu kept watching with a smile until everyone returned to their places. Only then did he admonish in a deep voice: "The Xiliang Army is poorly equipped, and its achievements are not brilliant, but after all, there are many people. All the generals of the Ma family are brave and good at fighting, and Cao Cao is behind them. Regardless of whether the battle is defended, Yuan Zhi must not be careless against the enemy. ”
"Don't worry, my lord. The minister must cheer up his spirits. Xu Shu experienced a lot of ups and downs when he was a teenager, and now although he is proud, he is far from getting carried away.
"That's very good." Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
The Xiliang Ma family has limited records in history, but it is very famous in later generations, and even many people don't know that they are the heels of the rebels, so they simply like the princes of this road, and the reason is nothing more than Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's real play, in fact, was just that once, defeating Cao Cao in a head-to-head duel on the bank of Weishui, and then became obscure. Throwing himself into Shu is not even a turning point, because after entering Shu, Ma Chaoming enjoyed the high-ranking officials on his face, and he was in the limelight, but in fact he was hollowed out, had no military power, and of course did not have any brilliant achievements.
However, although he only worked hard once, Wang Yu still had a high evaluation of Xiliang Jun. Even Cao Cao in his heyday suffered a loss, who wants to underestimate this road of soldiers and horses, isn't it a light enemy?
If possible, Wang Yu wanted to deal with Ma Jiajun by himself, and this time he advanced his division and rode south lightly, for this matter. It's a pity that the Xiliang army came over violently, but it didn't move in the border area, and Wang Yu couldn't leave the Central Plains and chase to the east of the river.
No matter how strong the Xiliang army is, it can't be stronger than Cao Cao, who captured the pass, the Central Plains is the real battlefield of decisive victory, and the Xiliang army is just a chess piece thrown by Cao Cao due to the situation.
Of course, using Xu Shu and Xu Huang's partner to deal with the Xiliang Army must not be regarded as despising the opponent, if the war is delayed for a few more years, and the Bingzhou Army may still be able to get a response from the north, it will be even more foolproof.
Wang Yu withdrew south, on the one hand, because of the situation in the state, and more importantly, because the construction of Zhenyuan Fort had been completed, the Xianbei army had returned again, and Gongsun Zan had already gained a firm foothold in the grassland.
The successive defeats have pushed the Xianbei people to the brink of collapse, and whoever ascends to the position of Khan will not be able to have the appeal of the past. The scattered grassland tribes were only broken by Gongsun Zhan, and they were divided and disintegrated, and they no longer posed any threat to the Central Plains.
On the contrary, Gongsun Zhan's power would be centered on Zhenyuan Fort and begin to extend to the north and west.
The grasslands are known for their abundant pastures, the largest and most fertile of which is the Hetao Plain. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory of the annexed states actually included the so-called Dongtao, and the location of Danhan Mountain was in the east of the Hetao, which was a rich area that was not inferior to the Hetao.
Although the area north of the Eilechuan is also a grassland, because of the scarcity of rivers, even nomadic people cannot settle here, and the Xianbei people who have lost the Eilechuan can only migrate to more distant places. However, Gongsun Zhan's strength was limited, and it was difficult to cross the vast wasteland to pursue northward, so he could only continue to expand his achievements to the west, accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and advance northward.
From Danhan Mountain to the west of 100 miles, in fact, it is the past Yunzhong, Wuyuan and Dingxiang, after Gongsun Zhan's power expands, it will form a two-sided situation against the western state, so the longer the war continues, the more beneficial it will be to Qingzhou. As long as Xu Shu does not take the enemy lightly, there will not be too many problems.
In addition, Gao Gan was not in a hurry to choose the direction of expansion, and only said that he could temporarily live in Yanmen County. Wait for the battle to be cleared before making a decision. If the Xiliang army is defeated, then he will take advantage of the victory to pursue. Advancing westward, the goal is to seize the Yanran Mountain region of Xianbei in the west. If the war drags on. He could also consider going to Wajima or some places south of Jiaozhou.
This is what he said, and there is a third possibility that has not been said, that is, if Qingzhou fails, from the location of Yanmen County, he can also choose to attack Youzhou, or the northern part of Jizhou, and take advantage of the fire to rob a piece of the pie.
This little bit of caution can fool Wang Yu, and it can't fool Zhuge Liang, who is as careful as a hair, but since he said it happily. Wang Yu has no intention of pursuing it, and the focus at the moment is to take over the key points in the state as soon as possible, rather than worrying about some intentions or potential threats and the like.
In any case, Gao Gan is now considered an ally in Qingzhou, and his troops in Yanmen are a threat to the flank of the Xiliang Army, and the overall situation is still quite favorable.
At the end of the military discussion, Wang Yu stretched his waist very unimaged, and turned his face sideways. Xiang Zhuge Liang, who was standing behind him, asked, "What has Cao Cao been busy with lately?" ”
"It's about the same as you." Zhuge Liang is well-read and has a strong memory, and has the ability to never forget, and he also answered Wang Yu's rather abrupt inquiry: "There are quite a few refuge among the hundred officials, and Cao Cao selected Zhong Xuan, Xun You and others from them. A small gathering on three days, a big discussion on five days, and the efficiency is not bad. Almost every military meeting is followed by a corresponding action. ”
"Intelligence shows. The soldiers and horses who surrendered and rebelled are currently being trained by Le Jin and Li Dianer. Lejin's training style is quite similar to General Wen Ze, and Dong Zhuojun's foundation is also very good, so he must be able to train an elite soon. ”
Hearing the name of Le Jin, Wang Yu also sighed with emotion, the overall gold content of Cao Wei's five good generals is very high, and everyone takes it out alone, and has a powerful record in their own way. In this life, he poached all kinds of corners, and as a result, he dug up four of the five good generals, and he was alone with one Lejin, which seems to be a pity.
The styles of Le Jin and Yu Ban are very similar, the same good fighting, and the same low-key, as long as you look at the current appearance of the hussars, you can imagine how Dong Zhuojun, who has been trained by the hands of Le Jin, will have a new look.
I knew it earlier, so I dug this person over.
Wang Yu just thought about it, he had no impression of Le Jin's previous record of following Cao Cao, and Le Jin took refuge in Cao Cao very early, probably because Cao Cao had just raised his flag and raised his army, this person was here, and if he wanted to dig his horns, he had to have the right time, place and people to take it all.
"Le and Li Er are mainly responsible for the foot soldiers, and the cavalry is a new stove, with Cao Chun as the main commander, Cao Xiu as the deputy, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei are two personal guard generals in the army, in the name of tiger and leopard, and the cavalry is trained ......"
The name of the tiger and leopard riding is like thunder, but in this life, Cao Cao fell behind Wang Yu at the beginning, and the establishment of the tiger and leopard riding was also regarded as a follower. However, the gold content of the tiger and leopard ride is no worse than in the previous life, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu are just younger, and their abilities are not under Cao Ren, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei don't need to explain.
It's not that Wang Yu didn't try to find these two guys, but where did he think that Dian Wei was actually born in Zhang Miao's army, and the coalition army was only caught by Cao Cao after Chenggao was defeated by Xu Rong? If it weren't for the Intelligence Department to spy on this news, Wang Yu would still be in the dark, thinking that Dian Wei suddenly jumped out of that chaos.
Needless to say, Xu Chu is not a grassroots clan at all, but a big clan in Qian County, and naturally he will not have a good impression of Qingzhou, which suppresses the strong and powerful, and when Cao Cao pursued Yuan Shu and occupied the Huai and Ru areas, he took his troops to Cao Cao.
Wang Yu can only comfort himself with the fact that the world is difficult to satisfy, anyway, Qingzhou is a famous general, but he is not afraid of missing these two people, the reason why he feels regretful is that he is just a fan of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and he has a habit of collecting all the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms.
Anyway, he has always regarded Cao Cao as the last boss to guard the pass, and he can't let Lao Cao only have one commander with a light pole to stand out, and then slap him to death, right?
"In addition to the army, Cao Cao's strategy for Jingzhou is also intensifying, and reliable information shows that because Cai Mao and Cao Cao have a reason, now the Cai family in Jingzhou has begun to have a tendency, and is secretly lobbying the Kuai family, which is also important in Jingzhou, once the Kuai family is shaken, Cao Cao has a great hope of gaining the Nanjun ...... without bloodshed."
Another accident.
Wang Yu's deepest impression of Cai Mao was that Cao Cao fell for Zhou Yu's counter-plot and mistakenly killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two generals. As a result, listening to Zhuge Liang say this, Cao Cao and Cai Mao turned out to be old friends? Still using this relationship to tease the Cai family? This was such a surprise.
However, Kong Ming came out of Jingzhou, and Huang Yueying's family is listed among the four major families in Jingzhou with Cai and Kuai, even if there is no infiltration from the Intelligence Department, these news will not be wrong, and they can only say that they are lonely and unheard.
In addition to Cai, Kuai, and Huang, there is also a Xiang family that is on an equal footing, but Xiang Lang, the head of the Xiang family, is very knowledgeable, but he is not good at being an official, and he has been deposed from the position of long history for nearly ten years, no one is an official, and the power of the family is naturally like a boat sailing against the current.
Although the Huang family is biased towards Qingzhou because of the relationship between Huang Chengyan's father and daughter, Huang Chengyan is not the backbone of the Huang family, and the real ruler of the Huang family is Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, who is being beaten to the ground by Sun Ce.
Under the fierce offensive instigated by Sun Ce himself, Huang Zu is now living like a year, I wish someone could rescue him from Sun Ce's knife, if the Cai and Kuai families reach an agreement, the war in Jingzhou will naturally not have any variables.
Wang Yu didn't want to see Cao Cao continue to grow, but Qingzhou was too far away after all, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
In addition, Cao Cao also secretly recruited craftsmen, and in addition to poaching people from workshops all over Qingzhou, he also put a lot of effort into other places. Shi Yuan wrote that Cao Cao's talent collection work in Huainan was going very smoothly, and in addition to the folk craftsmen, there were many well-known celebrities, including Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who were famous people in the clan! It is reported that when Liu Ye first arrived in Luoyang, he presented a secret biography of weapons, and Cao Cao was very happy, promoted Liu Ye to serve in the middle of the service, and gave him the title of Marquis of Guannei......"
"The secret of the weapon that Liu Ye offered?" Wang Yu's heart moved, he was familiar with this allusion, what was in the secret biography presented by Liu Ye, he couldn't be completely sure, but there was one thing that would definitely not be wrong, Thunderbolt!
Combined with the fact that the man named Liang Mao also went to Luoyang, Cao Cao's move to collect craftsmen can't be ignored, no wonder he suddenly stopped moving, it turned out that he was worried about his new weapons here.
Liu Ye has nothing to worry about, his weapon secret inheritance is just handed down from his ancestors, he himself should not have too high attainments in this field, even if it is high, it is impossible to compare to Huang Yueying, but ......
Thinking of this, Wang Yu thought again, since Cao Cao attaches great importance to this, he will definitely not only think about strengthening himself, he will definitely add some blockage to Qingzhou, for now, the most direct means is......
Wang Yu's face changed several times in an instant, and he suddenly ordered: "Kong Ming, you immediately repair the book to Wenhe, let him get in touch with Mr. Chengyan as soon as possible, and let him go to Qingzhou as soon as possible to take refuge, so as not to change in Jingzhou and be taken hostage." By the way, your uncle's side, as well as Pang Degong, should also make some preparations as soon as possible. ”
“…… Chancellor understood. Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned, and soon understood, and was deeply shocked by Wang Yu's ability to change rapidly, and his face was also covered with a layer of melancholy.
Hostage-taking is not a conventional method, but Cao Cao's heroic man, for the sake of victory, he will not scruple too much. Previously, the main attention of the Qingzhou General's Mansion was focused on northern Xinjiang, completely ignoring the impact of the changes in Jingzhou, and now it must be remedied as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
