Chapter 732: Internal and Foreign Affairs
To tell the truth, Zhuge Liang didn't expect that this sneak attack of Dongwu would actually end in such a child's play.
No, it's a sneak attack on the back of the alliance, your Dongwu side, isn't it a little more serious. If you say you will fight, and if you say you will withdraw, isn't it a little too serious about the alliance?!
But now, Sun Quan withdrew his troops back to Chaisang, and with the power of the Jiangdong naval army, even if he attacked Jiangdong, he might not be able to please him.
On the Changsha side, Sun Sheng and Quan Cong retreated to defend themselves, coupled with He Qi's timely support, Shi Bao saw that the situation was not right, and he didn't dare to stay too long in Jiangnan, after all, Shi Bao crossed the river in the absence of logistics, and if he continued to stay in love, it was really possible that he would not be able to go back alone.
In addition, after Chen Zhi lifted the siege in Wuling, because of the lack of troops, he did not dare to chase the retreating Eastern Wu army too much, and chose to hold on to Wuling, so he ordered Shi Bao to let Shi Bao and Zhang Ren take the opportunity to turn back to Gong'an and Jiangling and stick to it.
As for Guiyang, Pan Jun didn't want to take advantage, but unfortunately, Lu Dai was not easy to provoke, and he also contacted Shixie from Jiaozhou to go north, Pan Jun really didn't dare to launch a counterattack, don't look back and attack Guiyang, not to mention, his Lingling County will be lost again.
In this way, even if Guan Yu is really angry with Sun Quan's treacherous thing, but the 30,000 naval army went to attack Chai Sang, who was heavily guarded by Eastern Wu, Guan Yu was not lonely enough to this extent.
Therefore, Guan Yu also had to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to Xiangyang.
However, before Guan Yu left, he left Deng Ai and 10,000 army infantry in Jiangxia.
10,000 army infantry soldiers are used to strengthen Jiangxia's defense for Wenpin, after all, judging from this sneak attack in Jiangdong, Jiangxia's troops are indeed a little less, which means that Wenpin has rich experience and outstanding strategy, otherwise, this Jiangxia may not be able to hold it.
As for Deng Ai, Guan Yu was left to Wen Ping, please ask Wen Ping to teach Deng Ai water fighting skills.
During the period of confrontation at the mouth of the three rivers, Deng Ai never changed the problem of seasickness, and began to vomit as soon as he got on the boat.
If you can't get it back, you will hand it over to Wenpin to continue to break it.
By the way, it also left a general who could serve as a staff officer for Wenpin, and the provincial Wenpin will use the dangerous strategy of the empty city plan next time, and when something happens, at least someone can follow and discuss it together.
I have to say that today's Guan Yu, since he can't get on the horse and pick up the knife, has become a lot more stable.
After arranging these things, Guan Yu led the army back to Xiangyang, and Guan Yu didn't plan to take care of the rest of the finishing work, this is Zhuge Liang's business.
But now, Zhuge Liang really has a headache - what kind of attitude should he use to ask Dongwu?!
If you don't pay attention to it, if there is no such thing, wouldn't it seem that the big man is afraid of him? !
Besides, today's big men can't swallow this breath.
Why is Jiangdong Xiao'er shamelessly betraying the alliance to carry out a sneak attack, this is the second time, and it will be so indulgent again?!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all advocated that they should not be too polite to Eastern Wu, or even a little more radical, and they all asked the Northern Army to go out to fight, unite with the Jingzhou Army, first capture Eastern Wu, and then march east to compete with Cao Wei.
But if you send someone to ask, the Dongwu side will directly mess up, that is, you will destroy the alliance, or even form an alliance with Cao Wei, which will not be beneficial to the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang was worried about this, and he really didn't know what to do for a while.
Then, as in history, Deng Zhi stood up.
Today's Deng Zhi, after following Liu Bei through two Northern Expeditions, his status in the court is not low, so there is really no need to take this risk.
But Deng Zhi still stood up and took the initiative to ask Zhuge Liang to agree to his envoy to Eastern Wu.
On the one hand, it was to ask why Dongwu betrayed the alliance, and on the other hand, Deng Zhi also suggested that Zhuge Liang should try not to turn his face with Dongwu.
This coping strategy is very much in line with Zhuge Liang's mind.
Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shouted and shouted at Dongwu to kill, a few people with sober minds would not think that this was a good idea.
Although the current Han has relieved his breath, it is still impossible to deal with Wei and Wu on his own, and once these two are forced to form an alliance against the Han together, it will be difficult for the Han to bear it.
This kind of thing has to wait until the Central Plains is taken before thinking about it.
Now, if possible, it's better not to completely turn the other cheek with Soochow.
But the point is that what Dongwu did was too disgusting, even Fa Zheng and Pang Tong, although they privately agreed with Zhuge Liang's judgment, but on the bright side, these two didn't help Zhuge Liang say a word, and if they didn't make trouble for Zhuge Liang, it was already a tacit understanding between the two and Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, Deng Zhi did this, not only to face the danger that Soochow might turn his face, but also to bear the pressure from the DPRK. If it weren't for the sake of the big man, with Deng Zhi's current status, there was really no need to wade into this troubled water.
But no matter what, after Deng Zhi played and Zhuge Liang agreed, Deng Zhi still set off for Jingzhou, and after discussing with Xu Shu and Ma Liang in Jingzhou, he sent an envoy to Eastern Wu.
In the second year of Jianxing, the final end is to see the results of Deng Zhi's mission.
As for the siege of Liangzhou in the north, it was lifted as early as August.
Zhi Yuanduo is not a stupid person, after being repelled by the Liangzhou Legion of the Great Han Dynasty, he knows that he is now at the end of the strong crossbow, if he does not take advantage of the summer to quickly migrate eastward to annex, he will miss the season, and it will be a problem to survive the winter.
Therefore, in mid-August, Zhi Yuanduo had already withdrawn from Liangzhou and took his troops to Cao Wei's Bingzhou area to ask for a living.
The raid and harassment operations near Yongzhou lasted from July to October, sometimes when the number of times was large, there were five or six times a month, and when there was a little, two or three times a month, until the end of October, after Yongzhou entered winter, the number slowly decreased, until the beginning of November, when it began to snow in Yongzhou, and the raids of the Wei army temporarily stopped.
Zhang Xi can be regarded as summing up the law, it is estimated that in the spring of next year, Cao Wei will have to come to such a hand, in order to delay the spring ploughing in Yongzhou. When the time comes, it is enough to strengthen precautions.
Taking advantage of the period before the winter, Zhang Xi once again shifted the focus of Yongzhou's government affairs to the work of resettlement in winter, in case of another snow disaster this year, he could not be as busy as last year.
The grain and grass that should be prepared should be prepared, and the counties should urge the people to strengthen their houses and stock up on sufficient heating materials to prepare for the possible snowstorm.
With the lessons of last year, the people will not take the government's disaster preparedness behavior seriously, and those who can have some family resources have begun to strengthen it in accordance with the government's requirements.
And after a year of hard work, the people or Tuntian people who still have no family background left, also turned to the government for help before the winter came, and began to move into the righteous house, preparing to spend the winter in the righteous house.
Speaking of this righteous house, it was really not initiated by Zhang Xi, and it was not even carried forward by Zhang Xi. The person who pioneered it is no longer testable, but the person who carried it forward was actually the Yongzhou Thorn History of the former predecessor Cao Wei, and also the famous contemporary calligrapher and politician Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang.
Zhong Xuan built righteous houses in all counties of Chang'an, and used them as one of the evaluation achievements of each county, the initial purpose was to collect the people displaced by the warlords in Liangzhou after the war.
After Zhang Xi took over the history of Yongzhou Thorn, he found such a good thing, and immediately used it as a disaster preparedness measure, and specially asked Chen Yi to allocate money and food to repair the righteous house, if the people could not rely on their own strength to get through the famine, they could go to the righteous house for help, and the righteous house would take in these people, but in the same way, these people also need to bear extra forced labor to repay after surviving the crisis.
This is to prevent those who are lazy and lazy from thinking about producing, and relying on righteousness and relief.
Last year's snow disaster, there were too many people affected by the disaster, and these righteous houses could not be accommodated, forcing Zhang Xi to open the vacant houses and palaces of the family in Chang'an City to deal with it.
After the beginning of spring this year, the first thing Zhang Xi did was to take advantage of the situation of the government decree to return to Zhong Xuan's policy, and take the scale of the Yishe and the degree of repair and maintenance as part of the performance evaluation of the local officials, and force the local officials to repair and expand the Yishe.
In this way, even if there is another snow storm this winter, it should not be a big problem.
As for the smuggling of grain and grass in Yongzhou, in fact, in July and August this year, when the Wei army attacked Guanzhong, it had already been officially launched.
At that time, the main attention of the Wei army was to attack and harass Guanzhong, and there were people and even families in the pass to take refuge, which was really nothing new, and the investigation was not so strict.
Fei Yi took advantage of this opportunity to start rolling out smuggling routes and intelligence channels, and arranged for some children of the big families to enter the customs, and to contact the smuggling Before the winter of November, the first batch of smuggled grain and grass had already arrived in Guanzhong, making up for some holes in the grain harvest in Guanzhong.
All in all, Yongzhou, which has been in the second year of Jianxing, has slowly passed through various harassments and reconstructions, and has come to Jianxing for three years.
Since the first month of the third year of Jianxing, Zhang Xi immediately strengthened the vigilance of Feng Yi on the left and Fufeng on the right.
According to Zhang Xi's prediction, Cao Wei's attack on Yongzhou will become normalized and lasting, especially when it is about to face the spring ploughing season, Cao Wei will definitely not let go of this opportunity to disturb and destroy Yongzhou's spring ploughing.
But. Zhang Xi made every effort to prepare for the war, waiting, waiting, waiting until the beginning of March, and still did not receive any war reports about Cao Wei's invasion.
On the contrary, when the time entered mid-March, Zhang Xi got an important piece of information from Luoyang Xizuo.
Cao Pi is critically ill.
