Chapter 589: General Zhen Wei
"Seeking the top, getting the middle" can be said to be the best portrayal of the Chu State in the eight years of the Chu calendar.
Originally, Bai Tu wanted to completely wipe out the Wei naval army, comprehensively instigated the fried seafood peninsula, and the tribes in the north that were enslaved by the Wei gatekeepers, and at the same time used the advantage of sea transportation to attack Yecheng all the way and play the signboard of "Chu'an Wei Hou......
However, it was clearly not so successful!
Of the three objectives, only the first one was completed to a high degree - the Wei navy was indeed defeated, and even the shipyards were mostly "cleaned up", and the Chu State achieved complete control over the Bohai Sea.
In terms of the other two goals, with the current achievements of the Enlightenment Department, it is not difficult to launch a foreign siege against the Wei State, which they are already gnashing their teeth.
But...... The degree of infiltration of the Enlightenment Department was not high enough among the top echelons of the various tribes, and there was no certainty of complete control, so in order to avoid causing pure ethnic contradictions and causing unnecessary innocent casualties, Bai Tu did not take this step.
In order to pursue his own liberation, it is a well-deserved death to fight bravely against the Wei State Gate Lord, and in order to vent his anger, it is too unjust to fight the Han people in the north to the death......
The main thing is to fry the seafood peninsula and Sanhan, Buyeo, Goguryeo in the north, Xianbei in the east, and Wuhuan in the east, the level of civilization is beyond the low level expected by Baitu, and it is still pure slavery.
If you want to mobilize these forces safely, you need to do the same as for the overseas natives, either more "enlighten" the top of the tribe, or pull up the bottom of the tribe, in short, you can't let the leader who is a slave owner "willful", otherwise it will only be a Beiyi invasion, not enough to add to the chaos.
Now that the Wei State Gate Lords have no time to take care of themselves, many of these tribes have fallen into civil strife.
After all, after the direct "foreign enemy" disappeared, they were all Chu Xue's guys who opened and closed their mouths, which was very annoying in the eyes of the slave owners.
The state of Chu is naturally on the side of the supporters of Chu Studies, and there is no need to send troops directly, only a part of the generals and equipment are needed, and the current situation is not bad.
It's just that until the real integration is completed, this part of the potential power, the Chu State will not really use.
In addition, in terms of landing warfare, there is no hope of hitting Yecheng, but the southern skin of the important town in the north is enough to praise the Chu State.
The strong wall of Nanpi, with the Chu cannons that have been put on the wall, as well as the blood transfusion of Bohai Port and Yici Port, even if the southern soldiers are not good at fighting in the north, especially in the north in winter, it is difficult for Wei to pull out this "nail" that has been pierced in!
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the state of Chu officially announced that the Marquis of An Wei would take office in Nanpi and ...... Yu Ban was also "sent" back to Jinling at this time.
"The crimes of foreign ministers will be banned, and they will meet the king of Chu."
Sure enough, Yu Ban only surrendered on the battlefield, but did not take refuge.
And even if you take refuge in ...... This kind of general who has an obvious Cao Wei label and even his family members are in Yecheng say that he has taken refuge in empty words and white teeth, and Bai Tu does not dare to reuse it.
So after Yu Ban came to Jinling, Bai Tu only saw him symbolically.
"General Yu is exempt, before in Nanpi, the general descended to Chu at the right time, reducing the casualties of the soldiers on both sides, what a crime."
"I failed to repay the king's kindness, and I failed to defend the border and the people, so I didn't dare to praise the king of Chu."
It can be seen from the title that Yu Ban still regards himself as Wei Chen.
"I know the grace of your acquaintance with the King of Wei, and it is indeed not good to guard the border, but An Min ...... If we say that we failed to reassure the people, it is the fault of not surrendering earlier. "Bai Tu is not modest, nor is he very polite.
After all, he also knew that it was obviously impossible for him to completely subdue the ban just by capturing him.
Sure enough...... Yu Ban just wanted Bai Tu to see that he had reduced the casualties of the Chu army, and allowed him to "return to his hometown".
"Well, although it didn't change the situation of the battle, General Yu's last order was indeed full of humanistic care, and the previous resistance to the heavenly soldiers was only their own master......"
Bai Tu didn't refuse this, but just ......
"General Yu wants to say goodbye to the old in Jinling, it's not impossible, but there is also a process for saying goodbye to the old......"
Although Xiahou Yuan may be able to give one or two, Bai Tu is still very intimate, and he will be banned as the general of Zhenwei, without leading troops and awarding the rank of general Ji.
Since he came to Jinling, Yu Ban can choose not to receive a salary, but the official position must be forcibly sealed, and ...... Propaganda to Nanpi.
In this way, Nanpi theoretically became the "Marquis of Anwei" Cao Pi and the "General of Zhenwei" Yu Ban to stick to it, but in fact, Yu Ban would not leave Jinling, and Cao Pi was just a mascot with a little autonomy.
Although everyone knows that the so-called Marquis of An Wei is just a puppet of the Chu State, in addition to the nominal convenience, it is also giving the northern scholars a chance to stand on their sides again.
made the family that was originally worried that after the Chu State and the Nandi Shi clan went north, it would excessively squeeze the living environment of the northern Shi clan, and there was a consideration other than "holding together and sticking to the death".
Of course, this is only for the "conservative" part of the family forces, and as for the part that has been transformed into a "gate valve", there will be no gentle means to subdue it.
However, in terms of the way of destruction, it is also very particular, it can be the external iron fist of the Chu State, or it can be the internal tilt of the northern Shi clan - as far as Bai Tu knows, after this Bohai Sea War and the subsequent Bohai Rim Operation, the nascent gate valve forces in the north have been extremely seriously traumatized!
For example, the Yingchuan Xun clan, Xun Yu has always sat firmly on the side of the Wei State, or the King of Wei, and tried his best to suppress the gate valve faction within the Xun clan, but under the wolf raising strategy of the Wei Ting, the Xun clan inevitably split out some radicals...... Or even a large part!
Originally, because the gate valve faction "grabbed meat" too quickly, naturally the original family faction also accelerated its shrinkage, but after the Battle of the Bohai Sea, this situation was reversed.
Now the gate valve faction is much more aggressive than the gate valve in the Wei and Jin dynasties in history, and the relationship with other families, and even the original family faction, is by no means tacit, especially after the crazy expansion of the door valve faction in the past two years, it is even more exposed......
At the same time, the Battle of Bohai also caused internal changes in the northern Shi clan, and the gate valve faction began to be suppressed.
For example, the suppression of the Xun clan was to use the power of the Wei court to get closer to the King of Wei, and some families began to have private contact with the Chu State, combining the power of the Chu State to suppress the gate valve faction!
This is exactly what the Chu State wants to achieve - to distinguish the "enemy" more accurately, so that not only will the enemy be reduced, but the "digestion" of the Wei State will also be faster and smoother in the future.
Although Yu Ban was helpless about Bai Tu's reward, there was no room for refusal, the only thing he could refuse was not to receive a salary, so he ...... He moved in with Xiahou Yuan.
And after the weather completely came to the middle of winter, the southern pi of Bohai Sea also quieted down, and the white picture ...... Or the focus of the whole world has been concentrated in Longxi!
