Chapter 442: Bad Wu, Weak Wu, Use Wu!

Both and again.

For the current Wei State, it can actually be done.

But

Dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers.

When Cao Pi went out on the expedition before, he fell into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, and the unfavorable war in the previous years of Wei was related to this.

After Cao Pi returned to Luoyang, he also summed up the lessons and lessons.

If you can not divide the troops, it is better not to divide the troops.

This is the safest way to do it.

"Why don't the king transfer Suiyang's mobile forces and go towards Shouchun first? Shouchun is closer to Wu State, if there is a change in Wu State, within three days, you can rush to the aid of Wu State. ”

Three days?

But three days is not a long time, nor is it short, and the variables are still too great.

Cao Pi's gaze wandered.

It stands to reason that Cao Pi is now in the prime of life, but his face is already beginning to show paleness.

The body is also getting thinner, and it is not as burly as it was a few years ago.

is sick with his body, Cao Pi naturally knows it.

This situation is inseparable from his sleepless handling of state affairs and his frequent worries about the rise of the Han Kingdom.

Of course

Good beauty and bad living habits are also inseparable.

"Send a messenger to see the king of Wu, if he is willing to offer Hefei, I will immediately send 50,000 troops to ask for help from Wu!"

If you want me to rescue the Wei Kingdom, why do you have to give some benefits?

Want to prostitute for nothing?

No way?

"At the same time, transfer 10,000 soldiers from Suiyang and move to Shouchun, waiting for the time to change!"

Anyway.

He is definitely going to take Hefei.

The difference is whether Wu Guo gave it to him or he took it back himself.

As for the state of Wu

If you can guarantee it, you can guarantee it.

If it is not interesting, then it is not impossible to carve up the Wu State together with the Han State.

There are three kingdoms in the world, and there are still too many countries.

It would not be a good thing to eliminate the sixth child first.

In the next ten days.

Between Han and Wu, they are very calm.

There was no friction between the two sides.

There are only skirmishes between scouts.

The Wu army is licking its wounds, reorganizing its armaments, and gathering the elite infantry in the land of Wu.

The Han army was recuperating and digesting the meat they had eaten.

At this moment, he is in the palace of the prince who is looking for the sun.

Liu Chan sat on the top of the study, and in his hand was the news transmitted from all over the country.

occupied Xunyang, naturally to collect local intelligence, and Wu Guo's actions, there were already spies from the military department to collect intelligence.

"It seems that although this Sun Quan is not very good at fighting, he still has a hand in governing the place."

Liu Chan took the booklet in his hand and looked at it carefully.

I also have a better understanding of the economic situation of Wu in my heart.

Among the Three Kingdoms, when it comes to national economy, the best one is naturally Wei.

After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xuchang, he implemented Tuntian near Xuchang with the policy of "the art of determining the country lies in strengthening the army and having enough food". As a result, "the people were recruited to make a promise, and they got millions of grains".

Therefore, Cao Cao set up field officials in various prefectures and counties, recruited displaced people to Tuntian, and popularized the tuntian system, so as to change the situation of "white bones exposed in the wilderness, and no rooster crow for thousands of miles" caused by the warlord melee in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the success of the tuntian system that the local area has become "the land of peasants and soldiers, the voice of chickens and dogs, and the strangers belong to each other", and it is precisely because of the adoption of tuntian measures that the society in the north has turned to stability, and finally reached the goal of "conquering the Quartet, without the labor of transporting grain, so as to destroy the thieves and bring peace to the world".

Shu has been known as the country of abundance since ancient times, and Han Gaozu can win the world also depends on the material abundance of this place.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan and his son successively served as pastors of Yizhou, which used the policy of leniency and leniency to govern Shu, which gradually led to a monopoly of land and mountain resources, thus reducing taxes.

Since Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng changed their previous maladministrations, cracked down on Haoqiang, and used to retreat the people and cultivate grains.

In addition, a weir officer was set up in Dujiangyan to manage farmland water conservancy projects and promote tuntian to restore and develop agricultural production.

In addition, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng implemented public management of important handicrafts such as iron smelting, boiling salt, and cotton weaving, and set up full-time officials to strengthen management.

In addition, Liu Chan established a business alliance, and the slave trade arose, sucking blood from Nanzhong, Bajun and other places.

The above series of measures have greatly increased the state's tax revenue and laid the conditions for a three-pronged development.

In particular, Shu has a variety of hard commodities such as Shu brocade and business alliances, so that everyone in the world uses the value of the Han Kingdom.

On the surface, the economy of the Han State was inferior to that of the Wei State, but in fact, the Han State was constantly reaping the wealth of the Wei State and the Wu State through the seigniorage.

As for Wu, it is now the weakest economic strength among the three kingdoms.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes competed for the deer, the Central Plains fought for many years, the place was ruined, and the people of the north crossed the river with their families to take refuge.

There was no shortage of wealthy businessmen and wealthy refugees from the north, and at the same time, they brought production technology and culture with them, bringing new blood to the impoverished Jiangnan at that time. Originally, Wu's farming technology was very backward and he had not yet learned how to plough cattle.

With the subsequent injection of production technology, agricultural production technology has gradually improved, and the population has gradually increased, changing the situation of vast land and sparse population in the past.

The three generations of the Sun family: Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan's ruling territory gradually expanded, and the army became larger, so the consumption of grain and grass became a large part of the national expenditure.

Sun Quan attached great importance to the production of agriculture.

During the seventh year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty and the eighth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan began to implement Tuntian.

Sun Wu's tuntian was divided into two types: military tun and mintun, which were established in the army, and official positions such as the lieutenant of the agricultural school, the lieutenant of the people, and the lieutenant of tuntian were set up to manage the affairs of the tuntian.

The tuntian soldiers ploughed and fought, and the tuntian households only farmed and were exempted from service.

In addition, Sun Quan also adopted Lu Xun's suggestion to expand the area of tuntian, and reduced the number of cattle he drove from eight to four for cultivated land. As a soldier, he also cultivated the fields himself, "working equally with the people", and these actions greatly encouraged the mood of the soldiers.

In Huiji County, there are Haichang, Shangyu, Xin'an and other tuntian districts; Large-scale land reclamation was carried out on the lake beach, and Tuntian areas such as Biling, Hushu, Liyang, Jiangcheng, Yuhu and Zheqi were established. The Jinbao Wei was built with the southward migration population; In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, more than 10 tuntian districts have been established, including Xunyang, Yangxin, Wuchang, Lukou, Jiangling, and Changsha Likou.

These measures have promoted the development of agricultural production in the Jiangnan region.

For example, there are thousands of soldiers in the Tuntian base in Anhui City, and tens of thousands of men and women in the Tuntian people in Biling. The scale of Sunwu Tuntian is considerable, and most of them are cultivated with oxen, and the farming technology is also relatively advanced.

It is precisely because of this that the state of Wu can afford to raise an army of nearly 100,000.

You must know that the current productive forces, with a population of 12 million to feed 100,000 people, that pressure is very great.

Among these 100,000 people, many of them were Tuntian soldiers, and they did not need money and food from Wu State.

"There are as many as 200,000 acres of fields around Xunyang, which is the case, and there is still great potential for development."

When it comes to farming, no one in the Chinese is bad.

The same is true for the Wu side.

"In a few days, it will be spring ploughing, and these ripe fields should be planted."

Xunyang took it, and Liu Chan naturally would not waste these lands reclaimed by the Wu Kingdom.

"It's a pity that Deng Ai is already in Tuntian, Jingzhou, Jiangling, otherwise he will definitely be able to complete this task if he is transferred over."

It's really not good, this task of Tuntian will be handed over to Gu Yong.

This person also got up from the micro end, and before he got up, he was a tenant farmer, and when it comes to tuntian, it should not be bad.

After thinking about the matter of this tuntian, Liu Chan turned his head to look at Zhou Che beside him and asked, "In the military divisions of various parts of Wu Kingdom, is there any information coming?" ”

Zhou Che was dressed in regular clothes, and the clothes were already as loose as possible.

Guy's stomach was already slowly bulging.

"There is news from the secret agents of the military department in various places that Wu has mobilized troops in the country, and now there are thirty or forty thousand people gathered in Chaisang, and this number is still rising."

"It seems that Wu has the intention of fighting a decisive battle with our Han army."

Liu Chan immediately thought about it.

Now that he has hundreds of thousands of grains and grass in Xunyang City, the problem of grain and grass for the army has been solved in a short time.

There is no need for too many people to come and distribute grain and grass as masters.

Moreover, this also means that Liu Chan can mobilize more Han troops to come to the front line.

"Still. It is soon the day of spring ploughing, and if the troops are gathered, the spring ploughing of Wu will be delayed. ”

Fighting a war is not a war between soldiers.

You have mobilized 100,000 soldiers, so in order to feed these 100,000 soldiers, it is necessary to have more logistics personnel to transport grain, grass and military supplies.

With this action of Wu State, at least two or three hundred thousand people must be mobilized.

That's not a small amount.

Three or four hundred thousand strong laborers were transferred during the critical period of spring ploughing, and the spring ploughing of Wu State was definitely delayed.

Not to mention, many places in Wu are military tuns.

"If the national capital is not guaranteed, what is the use of spring ploughing?"

If you can't even hold the state of Wu, it's spring ploughing, isn't it a wedding dress for your Han disciples?

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll drag it with Wu Guo." ”

Liu Chanming's plan to repair the plank road darkly, this Ming Xiu plank road can be said to be too long.

This is almost the end of the battle to destroy Wu.

"Your Highness doesn't plan to destroy Wu?"

Liu Chan said: "If you can destroy Wu, Gu will naturally be destroyed, but now the strength of our army is not enough, if Wu is out of the country's strength, his strength is far more than ours." ”

In the final analysis, Liu Chan did not mobilize the forces of the entire Han state.

But only half of Jingzhou's forces were mobilized.

Half of Jingzhou's strength can't destroy Wu State.

It was to take down this Yang-seeking defense line, or Liu Chan used a trick to get it.

If it is a serious attack, it will definitely take a long time.

It could be a year, or it could be years.

"Then His Highness means that he wants to drag down the Wu Kingdom?"

"It's not going to be dragged down, but if Wu Guo gathers a large army to come, people chew and swallow it, the amount of money spent is an incalculable number, plus the spring ploughing is delayed, this year can not be seen, if you wait until next year, there will be a food shortage in Wu State, and there may be a tragic situation of cannibalism."

Bad Wu, weak Wu.

This is not only what Wei wants, but also what Han wants.

But in addition to this disadvantage and weak Wu, Liu Chan also needs to use Wu.

He wanted to use Wu Guo's water division to buy him horses from Liaodong in Youzhou, and he wanted Wu to negotiate peace with him and contribute money, silk, grain, grass, and ordnance materials to him.

Zhou Che had never experienced the tragic situation of cannibalism, but he had heard from the people in the house.

It was a time that no one wanted to look back on.

In a world where there are problems with eating, all etiquette, righteousness and shame will not exist.

It often happens that children are eaten and women are sold and wives are sold.

"Why didn't Your Highness defeat the Kingdom of Wu? In this case, the people of Wu will not suffer so much. ”

Zhou Che is a Wu person after all, and although he is with Liu Chan now, he still has some compassion in his heart.

"If the king of Wu is willing to offer Wu's hands, Gu will naturally not let the people of Wu suffer, but in the current situation, Gu does not have much certainty of defeating Wu's army."

The so-called mourning soldiers will win.

Now Sun Quan has abandoned those illusions, and those generals and soldiers of the Wu State are bound to burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness than usual in the face of the threat of the country's ruin.

Fight to the death with these Wu soldiers who really play with their lives?

Liu Chan is not so stunned.

"Hold Xunyang, hold off the Wu army, victory will be on our side, why take risks?"

When it is time to be stable, it is still necessary to be stable.

Moreover.

Xunyang's defense line was broken, and now everyone in the world already knows and believes that the Han army is going to destroy Wu, and his task of repairing the plank road has been completed, and he has overfulfilled his task.

What he has to do now is to stabilize the situation.

formed a picture of confrontation with the Wu army, and then remained silent, transferred personnel and materials to Hanzhong to support Liu Bei's Northern Expedition.

Zhou Che felt a little pity in his heart.

"The concubine still thinks that she will be able to return to Jianye soon?"

In her hometown, there are still many people she cares about.

"There will be a day."

Liu Chan's eyes flickered.

With the financial support of the Silk Road, the pace of unifying the whole country will be faster and faster.

But the premise is that the Northern Expedition must be successful.

If the Northern Expedition fails, everything will be over!

"It's Chaisan in front of you."

Sun Quan took the warship of the Wu State Navy Division upstream, walked slowly and closely, and finally arrived at Chaisang.

At this moment, Chaisang is very lively, inside and outside the city, there are military tents.

There was an endless stream of soldiers from Wu Guo who came and went, as well as people who transported grain and grass.

All kinds of materials, piled up on the docks, like small hills, have not yet been sorted out and sent to the city treasury.

Tens of thousands of people are like ants, preparing for the next war.

The warship that Sun Quan took was a huge ship in the Wu army, several feet high, and from this angle, the vision was very open.

The scene on the river is also very good, but Sun Quan at this moment has no heart to look at these beautiful scenery.

When you're in a bad mood, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's disgusting to see it.

"How many people have come?"

As soon as he stepped off the ship, Sun Quan asked the local Chai Sang Ling.

"There are more than 40,000 soldiers in total, and at least 60,000 people!"

This time, Sun Quan can be said to have gathered all the soldiers of the whole country here.

Directly brought Wu Guosoha here.

With this failure, there is no need for Wu Guo to exist.

If this victory is achieved, it will be able to reverse the unfavorable situation for the Han Kingdom.

At least

Wu Guo will not be as passive as he is now.

"The generals who have been summoned have come to the city to see Gu, and as for the affairs of Wu State, they will be handed over to Gong Zhang and Gong Gu to deal with. (End of chapter)
