Chapter 655: The Siege of Huaili

There is one thing to say, Man Boning is both civil and military, and has his own uniqueness in governing the army and government, and he is indeed a rare genius in the world.

But it's a pity that Man Chong served as a "black glove" for Cao Cao in his early years, which became a black spot that he couldn't erase in his life.

Others are good to say, although the usage is excessive and a little cool, but after all, it is in troubled times, and Man Zhong is not the kind of cool official who fabricates crimes, he just enforces the law too strictly, whether it is tortured to death the corrupt county officials, or Cao Hong's henchmen are beheaded in advance, although it is somewhat out of line, but at least there is a law to follow.

But the incident of torturing Yang Biao is a bit out of line.

Yang Biao's matter, in fact, Cao Cao found an excuse to consolidate his political rights and beat up those families who opposed him, and it was impossible to find any evidence of Yang Biao's crimes.

And to tell the truth, even if Yang Biao really committed something, Cao Cao at that time couldn't really kill him, so it was impossible for Manzhong to find any "criminal evidence" of Yang Biao's crime.

This kind of thing, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, so whether it is Xun Yu or Kong Rong, they all wrote to Man Chong, asking him to Yang Biao, "But you should be resigned, don't be preserved".

That means you can ask anything, but don't torture Yang Biao.

This is the last decency required by the Maison.

But the full pet didn't care at all, how to torture and how to torture, and tossed Yang Biao, a famous man in the world.

And the final result was that he was full of favor and "could not find evidence of guilt", and Cao Cao acquitted Yang Biao. Man Pet was busy for a long time, although he was recognized by Cao Cao, but he seriously offended the family.

Man Zhong himself also has a number of psychology, so when he has a certain status within the Cao Cao Group, Man Chong no longer presides over judicial work, but seeks to lead the troops to fight and develop in the direction of military generals.

Originally, if you follow the historical process, Manzhong's move is still very good, first when he assisted Cao Ren to defend Fancheng, he made a great contribution, turned his head and went to Huainan, caught an experience package called Sun 100,000 and brushed it twice, and became a complete success.

But unfortunately, the full favor of this time and space is unlucky.

When defending Fancheng, although he rose up and inspired Cao Ren to defend Fancheng after Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, this Fancheng was not defended in the end, and together with Cao Ren, he finally had to row to escape from Fancheng.

After that defeat, Cao Ren was fine, but Man Chong lost the opportunity to go to Huainan to farm the experience pack.

If you really want to talk about it, it's not a bad thing, after all, in this time and space, it is not only Sun Shiwan who attacked the Huainan region, the Zhou Yu who should have died early but is still alive and well is still there, even if he goes to Huainan, he may not be Zhou Yu's opponent.

After going to Huainan, he had to return to the rear again and take up the work of local governance until Cao Cao died of illness.

After Cao Cao died of illness, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and as soon as he came up, a case of Wei sarcasm and rebellion broke out.

Cao Pi was a little anxious all of a sudden, after all, the team that Cao Pi himself cultivated had a deep connection with the big families, and no one could meet Cao Pi's actual political needs if he wanted to handle the Wei Wei conspiracy case. As a result, when he turned his head, Cao Pi remembered his father's black gloves.

went around in a big circle, and was forced to do the work of a cool official again.

Since then, Man Chong has also pondered it, he has done so many resentful things within the Cao Wei Group, with his current age, it is estimated that there is no chance to whitewash, it is better to go black to the end, win the wealth of the third generation of the family, and leave the whitewashing to future generations to do.

Therefore, the current full pet, facing such a big thing as the great migration of Sanfu, is also doing his best.

Man Pet knows very well that if he does such a thing, he will definitely be hated after he finishes it, and he doesn't expect to leave a good reputation at all.

However, as long as Manpet can move all these nearly a million people into the customs, then Manpet's credit is greater than that of Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and others.

After all, these two have not won a battle since the war in Guanzhong.

Therefore, after receiving the edict, under the condition that the two companions were rotten one after another, he was full of favor and took on all the relocation work.

In the face of the people, it is actually relatively simple, only need to arrange the officials of the states and counties below to check one by one according to the household registration book, and then take the leather whip and the ring knife, not afraid that these people will be disobedient.

But in the face of the family, there is indeed a thorny problem, there is not enough time, and the full pet can't communicate with these families at all, and even if the full pet has time to do it, these families won't do it.

Who would want to abandon the ready-made land and Dingkou and go to a place where they are not familiar with life and start accumulating their family business again?!

Therefore, in the face of the family, the way to deal with the full favor is also very simple - kill if you don't move away!!

Anyway, with the family of this year, who doesn't have any black material in their hands, and whose butt can be clean underneath?!

There is no need to fabricate charges, according to the actual situation, the evidence of the crime can be checked one by one.

Today's world is no longer the first year of Jian'an, it is now the fourth year of the early Huang dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is the world of the Great Wei.

None of these so-called Guanzhong celebrities is the fourth and third princes like Hongnong Yang, a top family.

After more than 200 years of Wang Mang's rebellion, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan's rebellion a few years ago, and the Liangzhou Mahan Rebellion, the serious and decent families in Guanzhong have long moved to Luoyang, the Central Plains, and even Yizhou and other places.

In this way, under the almost iron-fisted means of full favor, the families and people in the Sanfu area were all driven to Chang'an to assemble, and finally in Chang'an in batches, they entered the customs through Tongguan, entered the Central Plains, and finally settled in Yuzhou, Sili, and even Yanzhou and other places under the arrangement of the Great Wei government.

From the perspective of full favor, he has really tried his best, bearing the curses from the people and the family, and desperately ensuring the interests of the Great Wei country. The rest depends on whether Cao Zhen and others on the front line can buy him enough time to complete the work of relocating people.

And Cao Zhen, Guo Huai and others on the front line did not disappoint Manzhong too much.

To be honest, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai really didn't expect that Liu Bei's army came so quickly, and it had already appeared fifty miles outside Huaili City without waiting for the snow to melt, but after all, they had also rested for almost a month, and the morale of the army had also recovered a lot.

In terms of military strength, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai have a total of more than 20,000 people, and even if Liu Bei's whole army arrives, it is only more than 50,000 people. From the perspective of defending the city, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai should be able to hold out for at least a month or two.

Therefore, although Cao Zhen and Guo Huai also responded to the battle in a hurry, at least, the ability of the two famous generals is there, and it is not impossible to hold on.

But so be it. There are some things, the more Cao Zhen and Guo Huai look at it, the more wrong they become, and the more they look at it, the more they feel panicked.

After Liu Bei led the army to the city of Huaili, he did not rush to attack, but cleared the snow on the high ground, camped his troops, and made a posture of confrontation on the spot.

At first, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai couldn't see clearly what kind of trouble the Shu thieves were making, until they saw that the Shu thieves actually began to build dams along the banks of the Weishui River to stop the water in the winter season, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

Spring Flood !!

The Shu thieves are going to take advantage of the Lingxun after the weather warms up in the beginning of spring to flood the city of Huaili.

Although there is such a thing as flooding the city, the price paid by the attacker will be very large, and the harvest is just a piece of eroded land, which cannot be cultivated in a short time, but now in the right Fufeng area, it is not easy to find even a donkey, and the Shu thieves will still worry about whether the people will have a harvest next year?!

The people have gone to Chang'an, and by the beginning of spring, I'm afraid most of the people have already entered the customs, what scruples do these Shu thieves have?!

But the problem now is that Cao Zhen and Guo Huai really can't withdraw immediately, the full favor on the Chang'an side is still trying their best to move the people into the customs, and the first batch of Guanzhong people who set off in the cold and snow have not even seen the edge of Tongguan now, how can they withdraw now.

In other words, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai now have to gamble with God to see if the weather warms up quickly, or the people migrate quickly.

Obviously, no matter what these two think, they don't think that Man Pet has the ability to move all the nearly one million Dingkou in the Guanzhong area in mid-February, so that means that if they continue to hold on to Huaili, they will inevitably be flooded.

By that time, there is no telling how many of the more than 20,000 soldiers will remain.

Don't forget, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai also have follow-up tasks, Guo Huai wants to lead the troops to retreat to Wuguan, Cao Zhen wants to lead the army to rescue Wancheng, and they really want to bury all the soldiers in Huaili, what else do they have to do to complete their follow-up tasks? !

Therefore, Cao Zhen and Guo Huai made a decision after a period of anxious discussion.

On the one hand, Cao Zhen came forward, in the name of the governor of Yongliang, to urge Manchu to complete the relocation of the people as soon as possible, at least until mid-February, as many people as many people can be moved.

This is basically equivalent to giving Man Chong a bottom line, if he can't complete the relocation work before mid-February, then Cao Zhen and Guo Huai will not continue to stick to Huaili, they will not care about the safety of Chang'an, retreat directly, retreat to Wuguan, and then go through Wuguan to rescue Wancheng.

On the other hand, Guo Huai has to find a way to take the initiative, not to mention anything else, those Shu thieves who blocked the water and built the dam must not let them build the dam under their noses, and they have to find a way to destroy their plan.

But. Looking at the Shu thief cavalry cruising around in the snow, this matter is actually very difficult.
