Chapter 533: Chu State's Reaction
"Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, the new news of the Chu State...... What do you guys think? Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others.
At this time, in addition to Xun Yu and Guo Jia, there were only three or five people in the hall, such as Man Chong, Cheng Yu, etc., which seemed to be much more "deserted" than before.
It was not that the talents of the Wei State were shrinking, but after the King of Wei "changed his thinking", untied the shackles, and began the mad dog strategy, although Cao Cao was enough to suppress these wealthy families, it undoubtedly greatly reduced their credibility.
As a result, Cao Cao's real "staff" has also shrunk significantly......
Of course, this is very different from Bai Tu's "palace system" - the palace system of the Chu State at this time, scholars are not only think tanks, but also play the role of glue for interest groups.
Just like Chen Gong who succeeded Lu Bu and Yu Fu who replaced Lu Kang, it was Jiang Wan, who was also born in Jingzhou, who was connected to replace Huang Chengyan.
And now the few people in front of Cao Cao can only play half of the role of the "palace" - a think tank.
Because among them, no one can coordinate the radical faction clan, or the new wealthy family, which accounts for a large proportion of the Wei forces!
With the transformation of the workshop in the Wei State, in a different form from the Chu State, the barbaric and crazy progress, the division of the northern scholar clan has become more and more obvious, and some of the old scholar clans cannot accept this practice of giving everything, including increasing the danger of interrupting the inheritance, and only getting "immediate benefits".
In this land where "princes and generals, rather have a kind" has been resounding for 400 years, they feel unreliable by enslaving and squeezing the vast majority of people to obtain benefits......
Money is very attractive, especially when the productive forces of mankind are greatly advanced and more surplus value will be created.
However, in the land of China, the roar from the low-level peasants and even slaves four hundred years ago, as well as the continuous period, was less chaotic in a township and a county, and the largest was like the Yellow Turban Rebellion 20 years ago, which directly shook the foundation of the Han family.
It is not a seriously wrong idea to regard the people at the bottom as oppressive, humiliating, and foolish, and they need to discipline themselves and serve themselves, but when do you feel that the people at the bottom are no longer the same species as yourself, and there is a fundamental difference...... Basically, defeat is not far away.
Therefore, among the scholars, there are also many different voices, which is one of the reasons why Cao Cao can still suppress the mad dog situation!
Among some of the old conservative factions, there was even a reform faction, also known as the "Chu School", which proposed to fully emulate the Chu State and carry forward the Chu School, of course...... This part of the people does not make up a large proportion of the old school, and except for the most radical part, no one dares to blatantly propagate such propaganda.
And the representative of the old school is undoubtedly Xun Yu......
Therefore, even Xun Yu cannot represent the radical family that accounts for a large proportion of the strength of the Wei State.
However, it is precisely because of this that Xun Yu will not consider their interests, but will only care about their influence, this is just Cao Cao's "brain", not a place to weigh the pros and cons of all parties like the "palace".
"Lu Bu led 50,000 soldiers and horses to serve as the governor of Wangjing Road; Sun Ce was appointed as the governor of Jinghu North Province, and Huang Jun was appointed as the political envoy of Jinghu North Province, and he was the assistant political ...... of Jinghu North Province It seems that the State of Chu is also ready to deal with the changes in the future, and at present, it seems that the decision of the King of Chu is still inclined to ours. β
Xun Yu skipped the first of the three pieces of information that came from the Chu State, and directly analyzed from the second one, and did not say anything more about the third one.
Indeed, Chu State's arrangement of Jingzhou North Road and Wangjing Road, no matter how you look at it, is a greater threat to the Han family.
Jingzhou North Road refers to the northern part of Jingzhou in the narrow sense centered on Jiangling, and Wangjing Road is the northern part of the real "Jingzhou" that guides from Xiangfan to Wancheng in the north!
LΓΌ Bu personally sat in armor and led 30,000 Chu troops, including most of the Chu group cavalry, into Wangjing Road...... In this 100 miles, you can reach the distance of Xu County!
Whether it is Zheng Hou Zhang Yan, Sai Hou Yang Feng, or Qi Hou Liu Bei, I am afraid that I have to raise my heart at this time!
The reason why it is said to be a "group cavalry" is actually a concept that has existed in recent years, the Chu State split the cavalry into a small unit of 100 to 150 people, called the "cavalry company", and generally only a "brigade" of 3,000 people will be matched with a cavalry company.
The other is the allocation of animal horses that are responsible for carrying heavy loads......
And the cavalry army formed by cavalry alone is very rare in the Chu State, and the largest number is the wolf cavalry brigade of 3,000 people - led by Zhang Liao, and now follow Lu Bu!
Three thousand cavalry should not be underestimated on the battlefield, but for the princes of all sides, it is not a large number - when Bai Tu first worshipped his father-in-law, he "worshipped" more than 4,000 cavalry......
For such a big move in the cavalry military system reform of the Chu State, the princes of all parties naturally will not ignore it, but they ...... I don't really understand the thinking of Chu State, I can only understand that there are fewer horses in Chu State, so I arrange it like this.
On the other hand, in fact, after the transaction in Liaodong, or after the Marquis of Shu opened the Yizhou trade channel, there were not many horses in the Chu State, and it was known by looking at the military transportation capacity of the horses that the elite infantry fully realized the animal power to carry the baggage, and cooperated with the official roads in the Chu State, and the speed of transporting troops was amazing!
And even in terms of war horses, the number of cavalry displayed by the Chu State now is nearly 20,000 - it cannot be compared with the Wei State and the Yan State in the north, but even if it is Yonghou Ma Teng and Zhai Hou Han Sui, if only the regular cavalry is counted, no matter which of the two alone, there is no such number.
Of course, Ma Teng Han also "hired" a large number of Qiang cavalry, and even some Xiongnu tribes, which was too large if you counted them......
It's just that the way Chu uses cavalry is confusing, and after Zhang Liao's initial training, all of them are scattered among the 300,000 Chu army - Chu usually keeps the number of regular troops at about 120,000, but some of them are rotational training and farming, and after all the mobilization, there are 300,000 regular troops!
Compared with other princes, the number of troops in Chu has always been very "restrained".
Now the Chu army mobilized by the Chu State is about 200,000, and a quarter of them go directly to Wangjing Road, and ...... You must know that under Zhang Xiu's command, there was originally a division of troops in Wancheng, and now nearly one-third of the current main battle strength of the Chu State is stationed on Wangjing Road!
And in Jinghu North Dao, there are also at least three divisions of the navy, and Huang Chengyan was also specially sent to Jinghu North Dao to help Sun Ce coordinate the Nanjun Shi clan......
Starting from Wancheng, not far from Xu County, even if Xu County is no longer "Xu Capital" now, but once Xu County and even Yingchuan are lost, I am afraid that the situation of the entire Central Plains will be greatly affected, after all, this is the "small waist" of the princes of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty.
Once interrupted, Qingxu Erzhou and Guanzhong were directly divided into two.
On the other hand, although it is difficult to start from Gangneung to Padang in Yiju, it has proved to be ...... If Chu Guo really made up his mind, it would not be impossible!
As soon as the Chu State transferred its troops, the Han family immediately became nervous, and there were many excuses for the transfer of troops, but everyone knew that Chu State's move was specifically aimed at the idea of Yonghou and Zhai Hou in the recent fight against Han......
