Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 411 Disputes endlessly
A few days later, when Wang Zheng returned to Xiapi City, he happened to meet an envoy sent by Huang Jun to ask for help.

Immediately convene civil and military officials to discuss this matter.

Everyone has different opinions, such as Mi Heng is in favor of supporting the party.

"My lord's rebellion in Qingzhou was because of Cao Cao's harsh treatment. This is called an old hatred. Last year in the Taishan battle, the lord won and the other lost. This is called a new enmity. Under the two conditions, Yanxu and Xuzhou are neighbors. Ju, even if there is nothing wrong with each other right now, Bandit Cao is full of ambitions, and in the future he will be the lord's life and death enemy!"

Mi Heng talked eloquently: "If this generation wins Yuzhou, not to mention the great increase in strength, when attacking Xuzhou in the future, the north and the south can be attacked at the same time, and the threat will become greater and greater."

"Hence, Heng believes that our army should support them no matter whether they are public or private."

Mi Heng's reason is actually the same reason that Yuan Tan took the initiative to attack Fenggao when Wang Zheng's army was attacking Beihai.

Those who opposed it were represented by Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao: "I don't agree with what Zhengping said."

Guo Jia went out with his head held high, and said to Wang Zheng: "My lord, no matter Qingzhou or Mount Tai, our army was able to win so easily in the two battles. One of the reasons is that the lord is brave and the generals use their lives. The other is also because Cao Cao can't take care of himself. , or because they are on an expedition, or because there are great enemies inside."

"Now, it is different from the past!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Zheng asked sideways, "Feng Xiao, what do you say?"

"Since the Yellow Turban Uprising of my man, it can be said that the world has been in chaos, the people have no means of living, the princes have been fighting for years, coupled with continuous floods, droughts, and locust plagues, resulting in a sharp drop in population and barren land. .”

Guo Jiadao: "Even Yuan Shaojun, who was backed by the Yuan family from Runan, also ate mulberries when he was in Hebei. Yuan Shujun in the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River even gave it to Pu Ying, let alone Cao Cao?"

"When Cao Cao marched eastward against Tao Qian, it was apparent that he withdrew his troops halfway because of Lv Bu, but in fact, the ministers learned that there was no such thing as Chen Gong luring Lv Bu into Yanzhou. "

"And the two tigers will hunt Yanzhou. During the period of stalemate, they even stopped their troops for a long time to defend themselves. It is also because of locusts in Yanzhou. To put it bluntly, there is still insufficient food and grass!"

"It can be said that the root cause of Cao Cao's defeat to the Lord several times before is also because of this!"

"But what about now?"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia flicked his robe sleeves, looked around the audience, and said seriously: "My lords, since the lord has the ambition to compete, we as ministers, it is impossible to only focus on Xuzhou, but to look at the world !"

"Zhengping, since Cao Cao is the lord's life and death enemy, do you know what this man did last year?"

Mi Heng was startled when he heard the words, looking at the handsome Guo Jia in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head.

"Last year in the second year of Xingping, the lord defeated Liu Bei, expelled Yuan Shu, and became the lord of Xuzhou. At this time, Cao Cao also did two things. First, he moved westward to Xu County and changed it to Xu Capital in order to cater to Emperor Xian. This move to get all the famous weapons is a conspiracy to coerce the emperor to order the princes, and it is also based on the plan of Xun Wenruo and Cheng Zhongde, and all the princes know the advantages and disadvantages of it."

"As for the second item?" Guo Jia paused every word: "It's also Xun Wenruo's suggestion, which is the "Order to Set up Tuntian"!"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but there was a wave of turmoil in his heart.

Cao Cao started farming last year?It seems like.
Earlier than in history?
But Guo Jia continued: "Jia knew about this "Order to Set up Farmland" before. He said at the beginning that the art of establishing a country is to strengthen the army and have enough food. It is also a good way of the ancestors."

It means that the Qin State annexed the six countries by virtue of the "farming war" proposed by Shang Yang, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stabilized the Western Regions by means of farming, so the country can be established with a strong army and enough food to make a difference in troubled times.

"The benefits of farming, if you talk about the benefits of the world today, I'm afraid I, the army and the people of Xuzhou, know the best." Speaking of this, Guo Jia bowed his hands to Wang Zheng and said: "My lord, if you use Pengcheng to farm, you can get fifty thousand tigers for several months. food, but what about Cao Cao?"

"It took Zaozhi as the captain of the field, and was fully responsible for the affairs of the field. In the name of the emperor, he first tried it in Xudu and Yuzhou, and then implemented it in Yanzhou and even Sili."

At this time, Wang Zheng interjected: "Fengxiao, there is no need to repeat the process. Do you know how much Cao Mengde has earned so far?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Guo Jia stretched out five fingers solemnly.

"50 Dendrobium?" Wang Zheng asked, his tone a little uncertain. This figure seems to be a little low, but if it is said to be 500 million Dendrobium, it is really impossible.

"According to Jia's knowledge, Cao Cao earned about 200 million dendrobium from farming for one year, which is enough for an army of [-] for a year!"

"what?!"

Amid the exclamation of everyone, Wang Zheng was also directly moved.

This is too exaggerated.

It is indeed a bit outrageous. In the original history, Cao Cao practiced farming in the first year of Jian'an, and his first year was only "a million dendrobiums". Now, for some reason, it has doubled!
Everyone knows the reason why soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass, and what this means is even more self-evident.

"If there is a lot of harvest, there will be enough food. If there is enough food, there will be morale. If there is morale, there will be fighting spirit. Moreover, since the first battle with Lv Bu, Cao Cao has always recharged his energy with the power of a big victory. This time, he marched like a tiger out of the gate. , I'm afraid it's even more powerful."

Guo Jiadao: "Comparing the two, our army has been fighting endlessly for years. Just after we pacified Xuzhou, we went north to conquer Kong Rong and west to attack Yuan Tan. So far, the battle in Beihai has not stopped. If we are exhausted and rush to fight against the elite, the minister I think the odds of winning are small and the odds of losing are great!"

"What Feng Xiao said is true!"

At this time, Zhang Zhao also added: "My lord just talked with Cao Cao last year and made a covenant of non-aggression. When Yuan Tan attacked Feng Gao, the other party did not send troops to attack. If our army enters Yuzhou at this time, To help the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou is to take the initiative to destroy the alliance and provoke border quarrels, and this teacher has no name. Moreover, Cao Cao has Emperor Xian in his hand, so he can raise righteousness at any time and ask me to disobey me under the imperial edict."

"Possession, name, righteousness, all three of our army are at a disadvantage. Sun Tzu said: Standing can't be angry and raise troops, and generals can't be angry and go to war. I ask the lord to examine it and think carefully."

The same problem, starting from different angles, leads to different conclusions. As the discussion became more heated, the officials in the palace gradually divided into two teams and started a heated debate.

In contrast, the people who supported Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao far outnumbered those who supported Mi Heng.

Wang Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, was leaning on the soft couch. At this time, he supported his head with one hand, and gently tapped the handle of the soft couch with the other.

If Wu Sheng and the others were here, it would be more interesting to imagine a true parity in power, wouldn't it?

For any monarch, he is never worried about his subjects arguing. On the contrary, the more intense their debates, the happier they will be.

On the one hand, it is clear because of listening together.Only when they debate fiercely and deeply, can the pros and cons of the enemy and the enemy be thoroughly analyzed, and it will help the highest decision-maker to make the right decision.

On the other hand, only such arguments and refutations can fully reveal the power and power in the hands of the monarch!
No matter how many people there are or how few people there are, who is louder or more reasonable, in the end they will always realize once again that the decision-making power is always in the hands of only one person.

If the ministers huddle together and say one word, it will destroy the monarch's supremacy and aloofness.

Seeing that the opposition to support is getting stronger and stronger, Wang Zheng was surprised at this time, but at this time Huang Zhong stood up to support Mi Heng.

"Mr. Guo, how can you increase the morale of the thieves and destroy your own prestige?"

"Cao Cao has a garrison army, don't I have one in Xuzhou?"

"If you compare food supply with morale, I would like to ask Junshi Guo, why did the lord revolt that day be so powerful that he was invincible in Qingzhou, won consecutive battles, and even captured the five capitals of Linzi? This is one of them."

"Cao Cao's morale was very high after defeating Lu Bu? To put it bluntly, it was just regaining the lost ground!" Huang Zhong was full of spirits: "But our heavenly army has fought several battles over the past year. The Xiongguan of Pengcheng, first take Xuzhou, then attack Beihai, the lord commander's flag is pointing, even conquering the important town; our army's iron hooves are everywhere, ten battles and ten decisive battles! All these actions, one pile, one piece, which one is not to open up the frontier, Pushing mountains and breaking ground?"

"Lü Bu, the mighty tiger of the world, now also lives in Xuzhou, looking up to his lord. Yuan Shu, a powerful prince in the world, retreats even more, fearing the might of our army. Yuan Tan has a strong army of [-] in Jizhou, and he is hit head-on when he raises his troops. , defeated and fled to Linzi in the first battle, and can't move south!"

Staring at Guo Jia, Huang Zhong glared and raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more powerful: "Although our army has been fighting for a long time, it has won consecutive victories! From the point of view of the general, the morale is at an unprecedented level, and this is the second thing!"

"Mr. Zibu said just now that his grandson had a saying, but he didn't know that grandson not only said that generals should not be discouraged and go to war, but also that they should be vigorous, then decline again, and be exhausted three times. The last general has never heard of the time to be vigorous , there is a reason to retreat in big strides!"

At this time, Wang Zheng had already heard the smell, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Huang Zhong is not giving Mi Heng a platform, he clearly felt that Guo Jia's words were quite despising of the Heavenly Army, so he was furious and didn't speak out.

Seeing Huang Zhong coming out, Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao couldn't help frowning slightly for a moment, but they didn't immediately refute.

This is not because they are dissatisfied, but because of Huang Zhong's identity at this time.
Most of the generals under Wang Zheng's command are either guarding one side or still in Beihai. Unknowingly, even without Huang Zhong's knowing, he, Zhonglang General, has become the military representative in Xiapi City.

And the key point is that Wang Zheng's emphasis on Huang Zhong is really a little too much. It is not too much to say that he is an unprecedented person.

While they were pondering, another important minister joined in at this time.

"General Huang's words are ridiculous!"

But Mi Fang also said: "At the end of the crossbow, the arrow can't pierce Lu Jin. Let's put aside whether to help or not for now. If we help each other, where will the soldiers come from? Could it be that the soldiers from Beihai can't return at this time? Is it the guard?"

"Of course not." Huang Zhong replied in a daze, "My lord has said before that the two generals Xu and Wu will return to Xiapi soon."

"But let these soldiers rush to help Yuzhou immediately?" Mi Fang smiled and said: "Okay, even if our soldiers are tireless, how can we help them?"

"The distance from Yingchuan and Runan to my lower Pi is more than a thousand miles. I need to pass through several counties in the middle. I can't hide it from Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. If our army marches forward in a file, we will be in danger of being attacked or attacked from the waist; If you go out together, you may be isolated or plagiarized. If you are sick, you will run out of food. If you move too fast, you will not be able to keep up with the food. If you are slow, you will lose your chance. Lack of food."

Mi Fang paused and said: "Since General Huang is the master's general, he must be very fond of the famous generals of our Han Dynasty. You should know that the defeat of Mayi is because Emperor Wu did not listen to the words of Han Anguo who put down the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms!"

"It's hard to do meritorious deeds, and it's even more rewarding for the bereaved." At this point, Mi Fang turned to Wang Zheng, and said solemnly: "The old minister thinks that it should not be aided!"

Yirenhuo also means to take the initiative to send soldiers to be captured by the enemy.

"Mr. Mi's remark is absurd." Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "The defeat of Mayi itself is that the Huns did have the upper hand in terms of strength. Even so, if it weren't for the fact that a Tingwei was captured and gave the Xiongnu the whole of the Han army If the ambush plan leads to the failure of the Han army's ambush in Mayi, the Huns' Chanyu may not be able to escape."

"Besides, today's situation is actually very different from that. It is completely different from the situation at that time. Our army traveled thousands of miles, so why didn't Cao Cao fight in different places? In the Mayi of the Han Dynasty, the Huns were the main force, and the Han was the guest army. Today's Runan, Chen Guo and Liang Guo, our army and Xiahou Dun are all guest troops, this is one of them."

"Xiahoudun has Xudu and Yingchuan in the rear to respond, and our army also has cities such as Pengcheng and Xiapi as backup. If there is an unexpected military situation, the troops stationed in various places can be ready to respond at any time. How can there be a waist? What about the risk of attack and the danger of isolation and plagiarism? This is the second.”

"Now that Yuan Tan has retreated and Kong Rong has also been defeated, with Pengcheng and Xiapi as support, the cities along the way are thought of as transfers. With my entire Xuzhou grain storage, the road is unimpeded, and it can be transported to the front at any time. What about the worry of lack of food? This is the third."

At this point in the debate, both sides became a little angry, Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said: "Now that the enemy is at the front, it is time to think hard and move forward bravely. Mi Gong doesn't want to use his strength, but retreats before fighting. , I don’t know what to do in the end, Fu Wei, please make a clear decision, my lord.”

When these words came out, Mi Fang's expression also sank, and she immediately said: "Although I am a scholar, I can still carry a three-foot sword to kill the enemy!"

"Since the lord does not regard his ministers as despicable, he is raised among the fields, he is honored on the top of the temple, he receives the royal salary, and bathes in the favor of the king, how dare he not be loyal and do his best? Soldiers are also murderous weapons, and their movements can be life and death. You should be experienced in planning a country, how can you put the three armies in danger just because of your momentary courage?
Now Wang Zheng can no longer sit idly by.

"The two of you both have their own reasons, but it's just a matter of fact, why should it be so?"

Wang Zheng stood up, walked down the hall in person, and helped the two of them at the same time: "Zi Fang is an old man who seeks the country". Just like this, Han Sheng's "move forward bravely" is also showing his majesty. I take it for granted."

"But you guys." Having said that, Wang Zheng turned his head to look around the crowd, and said with a gentle smile, "Actually, I have overlooked one point."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Mi Heng was the first one who couldn't hold back, and immediately bowed his hands and said, "Please tell me clearly, my lord."

Wang Zheng smiled and didn't answer, just clapped his hands, motioned to his guard and said, "Bring the map and hang it on the wall."

"Here!"

　Four changes have been completed.
