15. Interlude: The Way of Hegemony
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Breathe~ Rest, stand upright! , turn left~! Turn right~! Back! Turn! March! ”
With the proficient slogan of a 100-person general, the soldiers under his command also carried out the other party's orders without any mistakes, and the team of 100 people was neat and uniform, making this team look particularly spiritual and cohesive.
"It is worthy of being the right and left hand that the lord relies on, and the soldiers trained by General Zixiao can be called elite, and they are forbidden to be taught a lot."
"Wen Ze is modest, I have gained a lot from your many practices in military training, and the lord can get the help of a general like you, and I believe that he will be able to realize his lofty ideals."
"It's just that this time the lord has incorporated 300,000 Yellow Turban Army, of which there are about 70,000 young people who can serve as soldiers, although the number of the army has expanded, but these Yellow Turban Army thieves are wild and difficult to change, I am afraid that it will be a scourge in the future."
"I've been dealing with them longer than Wen Zeyou, so it seems that there are nearly 80,000 young men for us to choose from, but in fact, the elite soldiers that can be selected in the end will not exceed 10,000, and a strict 15000 is enough. The remaining young and strong and old and young are still better to farm in the fields, after all, the Yanzhou area is the hardest hit area by the yellow turbans, and ten rooms and nine empty rooms need to be filled. ”
"But in this way, not only will we not be able to get enough benefits from the collection of these 300,000 yellow turbans, but we will also need to add a lot of expenses to resettle these people, and even need to worry about whether these people will run away and become a new disaster."
"Hmph, as far as I've seen in the two places, as long as they still have land in their hands, the land can produce enough to survive. These people will be good citizens who keep to themselves...... At least it won't give us too much of a mess. And ......"
"And?"
Following Cao Ren's gaze, Yu Ban saw a group of Yellow Turban soldiers who were training.
No, it's more of a game than a training - a group of Yellow Turban soldiers are surrounding an elite veteran of Cao Cao's army, who has been promoted to Dubo, and is constantly on the offensive.
This is obviously the most common game in the military – betting on the future of both parties – and the winner takes all and will have the highest voice in the small group, while the loser will be a stepping stone or an accessory to the winner.
However, judging from the figures that kept flying out of the human wall and the human wall that had been reluctant to disperse for a long time, it seemed that the Duber still had the upper hand now, but such a temporary advantage and the overwhelming advantage that he obviously did not possess made his opponents feel that there was still an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Merely......
"Rest assured, those 'soldiers' who wield only a few sticks will not be a match for our veterans. The barbarians of Shanyue can all fight ten at a time. The current opponent is nothing more than a group of thugs, and they are far from real soldiers. ”
"This is natural, but the power of the individual will eventually be exhausted, after all, there are about fifty people."
"Huh. There is no point in beating a dozen or so people again. The rest of the thorns just need to be killed. You're welcome. ”
"I see, the idea of banning just now seems too merciful."
"No problem, I've seen similar situations to understand this. You see. Although these Yellow Turbans are very incompetent, if they are scattered to villages in the fields, led and trained by a veteran as the village chief, we will either get more food and grass in a few years, or we will be able to get a good team of soldiers, or both. ”
"Do you want the people to come to the tuntian?"
"Don't underestimate those Tuntian soldiers, in the border fortress of the two places, each dock fort is a Tuntian point, and the soldiers in each Tuntian point have the ability to let the Hu people break through the dock fort with a small group of rangers, and in a few years, let a brave and resourceful general lead the Tuntian soldiers in those dock forts, and also fight an unexpected counterattack by the Hu people in the grassland."
"Those Tuntian soldiers in the dock fort are all Yellow Turban soldiers?"
"At first, the Tuntian soldiers were basically from the Yellow Turban Army, but later I heard that the Hu people who were integrated into the homeless people and the Shun have become a 'hodgepodge' that can't be said exactly what kind of 'hodgepodge' should be attributed to, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, even if it can't be compared with those front-line main forces in the state, it is also a force that should not be underestimated, and even to put it mildly, the combat effectiveness should be above most of the troops under the command of the lord, especially those who think they are undisciplined and strong private armies!"
Such complaints are clearly firing map artillery.
No, Li Dian, who was also training soldiers over there, turned his attention to this side when he heard the sound, but this gaze that stayed on the two of them with a look of incomprehension that was far more than dissatisfied did not last long and left, obviously with Li Dian's demeanor of being a scribe more than a general, he would not be angry because of this little "offense", not to mention that he also knew very well what kind of mood Cao Ren and Yu Ban over there were in such a wide range of map cannons.
This is also angered by those rebellious places.
Similar to what happened to Liu Bei who went to Xuzhou, Cao Cao, who defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, also had to face similar problems, and even because he was a person sent to Yanzhou by Yuan Shao and wanted to become the governor of Yanzhou, he obviously had to face more demands and blackmail than he had imagined.
Otherwise, why didn't Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, who you think was more famous than Cao Cao, take advantage of the death of Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi and others, and escape from this great opportunity to stay in Dongjun and order Yanzhou, but instead stick to Chen Liu's one-third of an acre of land and can't live or die.
Even if he was also besieged by the Yellow Turban Army, as long as he was willing to stand up, with the current reputation of Cao Cao and the relationship between Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao, Cao Cao could only obediently give Zhang Miao a hand instead of thinking about how to integrate the forces in various parts of Yanzhou for his own use, which obviously made him anxious now.
Well, even one of the "Eight Chefs" like Zhang Miao feels that he has a headache to death if he wants to do it, or that just one Chen Liujun has made him feel exhausted, and Cao Cao will find out what will happen if he jumps into the fire pit by himself.
After all, unlike the border fortress region like Youjing and Liang, although they also have strong local powers, they are often trapped by foreign invasions, compared to things like fame and interests. Instead, it is more important to have strong force - because it can give them more security, after all, they can only fight for more things if they are alive.
If a regime has strong force to protect them from foreign invasions, then even if you act a little too strongly, you will be patient and even cooperate. And if you can still understand a little strategy, then it will be far easier to subdue them than in the Central Plains. This is why there are warlords like Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, but the situation of the latter is slightly complicated.
On the other hand, looking at the Haoqiang in the Central Plains, there are too many ancestors in some of the families who have been or are still wide, even if they can't reach the long history of the family, but at least they are not countrymen who have never seen the world. They are deeply rooted, they are intertwined with each other, and most importantly they hold a certain inheritance in their own hands. This gives them a natural sense of superiority over ordinary officials. There is always an illusion that I am superior.
As for the other part, it may indeed be the countrymen who have never seen much of the world, but because of this, their blood is also full of stubbornness and short-sightedness. In addition, the Central Plains region is far from being as often attacked and harassed as the Biansai, and except for large-scale turmoil, this area, as the core area of the rule of various dynasties, is always relatively peaceful. They don't feel the embarrassment of life.
So for these two kinds of heroism. Even if you use the threat of force, it won't necessarily have much effect – the former doesn't mind spreading rumors for you. And the latter will incite ordinary people, and even non-violent non-cooperation is enough to give you a headache.
What's more, if Liu Bei's hat of "Han clan relatives" is not very reliable, he can get a little extra points, although Li Shushi has nothing on his head, at least he will not lose many points. So Cao Cao, who is the "descendant of eunuchs", can't get around this problem, or his political enemies use this hat to hit him is really a dozen and a dozen, after all, the eunuchs are already more smelly than Xiang in the eyes of ordinary people, and before Cao Cao can do anything that is actually beneficial to them, these people are obviously more willing to believe in the concept of "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes".
It can be said that for the current Cao Cao, except for those subordinates who saw his ability and potential and were willing to follow him, most of the Haoqiang who ostensibly obeyed him were not so much obedient to him, but rather gave him some face on the face of his immediate boss Yuan Shao, and the subordination was just a formality.
Therefore, it is not surprising that those powerful people have repeatedly disobeyed Cao Cao's various orders.
But these people are nominally subordinate to Cao Cao, and if they are punished too much, the consequences will obviously not be able to be maintained even by Yuan Shao, who is too busy in Hebei to take a break - at this time, Cao Cao really hopes that someone among those heroes can jump out like the group of fools in Hedong, so that he will have a chance to eliminate dissidents.
Or use the torrent of the Yellow Turban Army to purge those arrogant diehards, as Wei Jun once experienced.
It's just that the former is no matter how he provokes, but those heroes are all human spirits, and all kinds of edge balls make Cao Cao feel a little bitter. And the latter, as the spokesperson of the powerful Yanzhou family and one of the great heroes of Cao Cao's ability to quickly enter Yanzhou, Chen Gongtai of Chen Palace will not give him the slightest chance.
Although this Yanzhou driver was evaluated by Xun You as "wise and late" in another plane, that is to say, people are smart but the brain's ability to adapt to sudden events or unexpected variables is not as fast as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, but once he gets everything sorted out and understands it, he is a very good strategist.
Therefore, although Chen Gong may not be able to adapt to the situation, if your reaction and plan are all expected by him...... Well, although Cao Cao relied on Chen Gong's ability and connections, he was also very depressed that there was such an assistant, and many of his plans that would damage the Yanzhou family were basically not implemented.
Of course, because the "taste" of Chen Gong is far more than chicken ribs, Cao Cao can only endure it no matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart.
Of course, there is another person's influence that cannot be ignored - Yuan Shu Yuan Highway to the north.
If half of the disobedience of those wealthy families to Cao Cao was due to their disgust with Cao Cao's background and their vigilance against his possible infringement of their own interests, then the other half came from Yuan Shu's provocation and bribery.
Whether it's Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu. The noble sons of the Runan Yuan family, who are all the top gate valves of the Han Dynasty and have the title of the fourth and third princes, have a wide range of influence, and judging from the table xiàn up to now, the ability is also quite good. The most important thing is that no matter which of these two people can get the world, it is in line with the appetite of most of the wealthy families.
Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that most of the families in Yanzhou are reluctant to choose sides.
Even if there are a few fools who occasionally do not hesitate to "go to the soup and go to the fire" for the sake of Yuan Shu, they can't set off a huge chain reaction like Hedong - although Cao Cao has an urgent need in his heart for a situation like Sheng, which seems to be extremely unfavorable to him, but because of Chen Gong's survival, many Haoqiang who were originally defeated by the "Silver Bullet Offensive" finally settled down.
It's just that naturally, the eyes of these heroes looking at Cao Cao were full of hostility.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army, many heroes in Yanzhou would recall the dilemma of the Yellow Turban Rebellion not far from now. Let them realize that maybe their own strength is not enough to fight the enemy army that is as far as the ocean can see. If a strong man was needed to protect them, perhaps the situation Cao Cao would face in Yanzhou might be even more unfavorable.
It is true that the situation is not very favorable to Cao Cao, but that does not mean that Cao Cao does not want to make changes.
"I finally understand now why Li Shushi's bastard thing had to hug Dong Zhuo's thigh in the first place."
"Although the Han family has declined, the majesty of the Han Emperor has not dissipated. It can make force stronger. It can also make wisdom sharper. After all, this is a great dynasty that has lasted for four hundred years. ”
"However, from this holy decree, it can be seen how far the emperor of the Han Dynasty persecuted Li Guo and the others."
"Yes, I'm afraid that the current Chang'an City should have become a mess."
"Still. This is my Cao Mengde's luck, otherwise the official position of Yanzhou pastor would not have fallen to my head. ”
"Yes, congratulations to my lord. In this way, the lord can have the reputation of righteousness, and justifiably deal with those powerful families who do not obey your orders, even if it is Zhang Mengzhuo, he also needs to pay you three points of respect, after all, he can be regarded as your subordinate. ”
"I said Wen Ruo, you said that if I personally led 30,000 tigers, would it be a great achievement to go to Chang'an to welcome His Majesty back?"
"Naturally, with the strength of the lord now, even if he can welcome His Majesty back, he will not be able to protect the safety of his majesty, and when the time comes, he will be slandered by people with ulterior motives as the second thief of Li Guo or the second thief of Dong, then the lord may not have the possibility of turning over."
"That's right, just like Wen Ruo said, if you haven't even laid a good foundation for your own side, how can you talk about the world!"
"In the past, Qi Huan killed his son and got a famous minister. Guan Zhong was able to gather the princes in Juancheng and was recognized by the king of Zhou; Jin Wen killed Huaigong, Lü Sheng, and Yin Rui, and used Hu Yan, Xianzhen, Zhao Yu and other virtuous ministers to make King Xiang of Zhou trust his ability and give him land; The country of Wu Yue must surrender to the other party in order to have a chance to go north and confront the Central Plains countries. Later, Gaozu Bao Hanzhong, Guangwu according to Hanoi, if they are all deeply rooted in the roots, they can look at the world. Advance can defeat the enemy, retreat can also hold, so although there are difficulties, but in the end it will be a great cause. ”
"Haha, being able to return peace to the world is my Cao Mengde's ideal. So Wen Ruoke must not give up Cao. ”
"The lord can have such ambitions, how can Yu not go all out? If the lord feels that the virtuous ministers under his command are insufficient, Yu has heard that there are heroes and wise men buried in the countryside, and they are waiting for the lord to go, I wonder if the lord has the intention? ”
"Wen Ruo still understands me! Virtuous, virtuous, hum~ In someone's words, it's 'what is the most important thing in this era, talent!' At the beginning, it seemed that with the prosperity of my big man, all kinds of talents emerged in an endless stream, so why should I pay so much attention. But now it seems that the man was indeed a visionary. Now I regret that I didn't take anything more from him. ”
"So when does the lord plan to go and find the virtuous? Although many of these people have a bit of an eccentric temperament, there are still a few who should be able to be summoned with your reputation as adults. ”
"Well, then if these people are Chinese, what kind of talents do you think we need most now?"
"There is no shortage of good generals around the lord, and Chen Gongtai can be relied on for the time being in the handling of internal affairs, even if he is just below, he will not live up to the expectations of the lord, but only in terms of strategy, Yu thinks that Chen Gongtai cannot be trusted."
"So so, so, ......"
"The Lord's idea is very good, and there are a few ......"
“……”
“……”
"Meng De, there is an urgent report from Yuzhou!"
Just when Cao Cao and Xun Yu were talking about their plans for the future of Yanzhou with great expectations, an eager voice came from outside the house, and as long as he heard the familiar name, Cao Cao knew who the person who came.
And from that voice, full of excitement rather than panic, the smile on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth became more intense.
"Meng De, that bastard thing on Yuan Highway finally can't help it!"
Sure enough, Xiahoudun brought Cao Cao a piece of news that made him happy.
It's just that before replying to Xiahoudun, Cao Cao first looked at one of his most trusted generals.
Since the Battle of Qinghe, Xiahoudun had been resting for half a year before he could recuperate, and the price he had paid in that battle was obviously more than he imagined, not including the eye that could no longer recover.
Compared with the loss, for the breakthrough of the martial arts concept, such a gain is worth it, even the blind Xiahou himself can't tell.
However, after half a year of recuperation, he has completely recovered, and it can be seen from his energetic voice that he is in very good condition at this time, except for the lack of an eye that makes his behavior a little awkward, but these things can be overcome after all.
Even the black blindfold not only did not make him ugly, but also made him a little more manly hard.
And when he thought that he could win seven or eight of the ten games in the recent confrontation with Cao Ren, completely reversing the relationship between the two people, Xia Houdun's mood would become very good.
"It seems that Yuan Ranghui is doing well, and he can let Yuan Highway taste the style of the first general under me and Cao Mengde."
"So Mengde, what are you waiting for? Let's go kick that guy's ass! ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, how can such an interesting thing be enjoyed by me, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy."
"Then Mengde, what do you mean ......"
"Yuan Benchu, well, maybe Li Shushi, I believe that he will not refuse this feast."
The expression of this black-skinned dwarf at this time, well, was quite obscene, so that Xun Yu and Xiahoudun couldn't help but turn their heads and pretend not to know.
I can't afford to lose this person! (To be continued......)
PS: Pan Sen: Today's update is entirely due to the fact that the book "The Diary of Minoru and Light in Urayama" ended today. Although there are thousands of books that are completed every day, every month, and every year, I have to say that this fandom really gave me some faint sadness in the end-effort, friendship, and victory, just like the feeling of seeing Xiangbei collapse after defeating the King of the Mountain, so that it was a crisp defeat later.
AKB49We didn't see it all.,AKBOO48 didn't have any contact at all before.,The impression of AKB is only in "桜の花びらたち" and a live version of this song, a few girls who look very pleasing to the eye.。 But it is precisely because of this book that we see the hardships of an idol group's growth - maybe there are a lot of glorification in it, maybe not, but this is undoubtedly a good story, a story that makes people feel the ups and downs when they read it.
Pan Sen 2: Du Niang said that the jeepli can't hold on? Suddenly I had a feeling of mixed feelings.
