The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 131 The highest level of bullying and contradicting

Although Cheng Yuanzhi really wanted to hold a grand ladder-climbing event to celebrate winning another county, he wanted to insult himself by spreading his reputation as a womanizer and not enterprising, so that the princes of the world could breathe a sigh of relief.

But more than 100 concubines were at a loss about this, so this celebration can only be done hastily.

History has proven countless times that when a civilization or tribe prioritizes the quality of life over other tribes on the same continent, the siphon effect on other surrounding forces is huge and unstoppable.

In his previous life, Cheng Yuanzhi had always wondered why Cao Cao, who occupied half of the five states of Yan, Xu, Xu, Yu, and Sili, was weaker than Yuan Shao, who only had four states in Hebei.

Now he understands.

It is the huge population and richer people that make Yuan Shao's soft power almost twice that of Cao Cao.

But these advantages are not the key to intuitively determining the outcome of a war, but the strategy of the commander in front and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers are!
Population and economy can exert their greatest power only after the war enters the stage of strategic confrontation.

If the winner of the war is determined before it reaches the stalemate stage, then no matter how strong the soft power is, it will be meaningless.

It's just a wedding dress for your opponent.

For example, in the fierce battle of Chibi in another time and space, on the great river, 83 Cao soldiers who are not good at water warfare, in the eyes of the [-] elite sailors of Soochow, are no different from sheep against wolves.

No matter how many sheep there are, what is the use in front of wolves?

Just a gift!

In the same way, during the Battle of Hefei, Sun Quan led [-] soldiers who were not good at land warfare. In the eyes of Zhang Liao's [-] cavalry who were proficient in land warfare, they were no different from chickens and dogs.

The advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves are never simply a comparison of the number of assets, population, and soldiers.

So Cheng Yuanzhi was very sober, sober that he didn't think he was invincible at all.

Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, the governor of Dongjun, had questions in his mind.

When he found out that Jinan County, which is next to Dongjun County, suddenly changed its flag and became the territory of "Yuan She", and Gongsun Zan, who was powerful in the four prefectures, was in a bad situation, he felt very headache.

If the mountain that supports you falls, everyone who relies on you will fall.

Even if Gongsun Zan resisted for a while and then lost, Cao Cao would not feel so powerless.

Gongsun Zan collapsed so quickly that people were caught off guard.

It took Gongsun Zan just one and a half years from crossing the four states to dying.

Regarding the sudden situation of "Yuan She", Cao Cao was very calm on the surface, with no surprise, no joy or anger, and even a sense of it being natural and natural.

Everything went so smoothly.

"Yuan She" went to Hanoi when Zhu Jun, the prefect of Hanoi, resigned, freeing up one of the most fertile counties; when he went to Jizhou, it happened that Yuan Shao was assassinated to death, and Han Fu let the virtuous, and he got most of Jizhou without any effort.

"Yuan She" had just been salivating over the three eastern counties of Jizhou when Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu got into an inexplicable fight again and had no time to take care of Jizhou.

This guy easily occupied the entire territory of Jizhou, and with the help of his foster father Yuan Kui's huge influence, he quickly controlled Jizhou.

Not to mention that it swept away the Sanhu of Bingzhou, completely eliminated hidden dangers in the rear, and at the same time owned most of Bingzhou.

As a result, when Cao Cao heard the news that Shan Jing led [-] soldiers and Jinan Kingdom to join "Yuan She".

The whole person is numb.

Could this person be a sweetheart sent from heaven?

Otherwise, why can every step be so light and easy to get the maximum benefit!
I think of Cao Cao, who has a top-notch literary and martial arts strategy and has a high self-esteem, but he has accumulated a year and a half in Dongjun with his teeth in his belt, and he can barely accumulate 1 horses.

However, surrounded by packs of wolves and yellow turbans, it is very difficult to develop.

Why, that guy can occupy the largest and most fertile Hebei land in the world!
It would be a lie to say that he was not discouraged, but Cao Cao hid this negativity very well.

He remembered the scene when Dong Zhuo was defeated in the army and passed by Hanoi, he once regarded "Yuan She" as mediocre, and suddenly felt a little hot on his face.

Even recalling Yuan She's mysterious smile at the beginning, I feel that there is a lot of meaning in it, and it may be ironic that he is a "stupid".

If this kind of thing happened to other people, they would definitely laugh it off, thinking that no one was at fault, that they were all secrets, and that they just missed their eyes.

But when it was placed on Cao Cao, it made him shudder, giving him a feeling of "this man is scheming, ten times more resourceful than me".

This guy hides too deeply.

Cao Cao felt that he had better never, never stand on the opposite side of "Yuan She", because he really didn't have the confidence to fight against this man who was so powerful that he couldn't look directly at him and whose scheming was unfathomable.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, why didn't I see that this person was so powerful? Could it be because the good fighters have no great achievements?
In the Dongjun prefect's mansion, Cao Cao sighed heavily, not only for his own slim prospects, but also for "why do you have shooting when you have sex".

.........

The thousands of miles of Yellow River water, rolling eastward, separated the chaos of the Central Plains and the peace of Hebei into two worlds.

To the south of the Yellow River is a chaotic hell, where the Yellow Turbans are rampant, warlords are fighting, wars are everywhere, and killings will happen at any time.

In the north of the Yellow River, apart from Youzhou, which is still in flames, the lands of Bingzhou and Jizhou, which are thousands of miles around, are all thriving.

This desirable scene exudes a strong attraction, causing those people who have been threatened by the war in the Central Plains to leave their homes and cross the Yellow River to Jizhou to survive.

The streets of Yecheng are crowded with people, merchants are like ants, and the sounds of hawking are coming and going.

Cheng Yuanzhi, who was walking around the street in casual clothes, suddenly noticed that the population of Yecheng had obviously increased. He was about to ask the counselors behind him, but Tian Feng appeared from that corner, cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, not only Yecheng, but also the twelve counties of Jizhou and Hanoi have increased their population, ranging from tens of thousands to thousands."

"Today, the population of Jizhou should have exceeded 700 million."

The judge on the side nodded, confirming that Tian Feng's guess was true.

Ju Shou took over the conversation, "My lord, it's not just the people from the Central Plains who flock here. The battle of Youzhou lasted for more than three months, and many people also went south. However, they are all faced with the dilemma of having no land, no house, and nowhere to stay."

The judge nodded again, but did not speak - because his words were rushed to finish by two colleagues.

Cheng Yuanzhi sighed slightly.

Only a very small number of the people who came to Jizhou were wealthy households who could purchase property. Most of the rest had no choice but to work as slaves for aristocratic families and become tenant farmers.

He was more than temporarily powerless.

In this grain-based era, land is the lifeblood of all wealthy families, and it cannot be touched at all.

If you move, there will be disaster.

The land equalization system is just a utopian fantasy, and there is no environment for it to be implemented. Wang Mang's lesson from the past did not last long.

A mature and healthy society must be stepped and pyramid-shaped, with wealth in the hands of the few at the top, forming a huge ladder from top to bottom.

The bottom part serves as a foundation.It must be a large number of ordinary people.

They will look enviously at the people at the top of the ladder, and strive to climb up to realize the meaning of life and the meaning of struggle.

Rather than flat, equal.

If everyone could easily get the same treatment as everyone else, it would demotivate everyone to fight.

Once everyone gives up their struggle and hard work, the social system will collapse instantly.

The entire country and nation will fall into a huge disaster.

Therefore, all he can do is to slightly limit the size of the wealthy family.

While thinking about it, he turned back to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Cheng Yuanzhi stopped and asked in a deep voice without turning his head: "Everyone, what should I do now?"

"Lord!"

Tian Feng cupped his hands and said: "In my opinion, the top priority is not to deal with these trivial matters, but to send troops into Youzhou to help Liu Yu eliminate Gongsun Zan. Otherwise Liu Yu will be defeated and Gongsun Zan will occupy Youzhou completely, which will be harmful to our Jizhou!"

"This... is born without a name."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked hesitant.

Moreover, it is only one of them.The second is that Liu Yu has an unparalleled reputation in the Han Dynasty. If he helps him destroy Gongsun Zan, how will Liu Yu arrange it?How to arrange in Youzhou?

Originally, after Gongsun Zan defeated and executed Liu Yu, he instantly lost the trust of all the people in Youzhou. Finally, Yuan Shao united Liu Yu's son Liu He and his old troops, as well as Wuhuan, Xianbei and many other forces to force him into a desperate situation.

If troops are sent to help Liu Yu win at this time, it will be difficult for Liu Yu to deal with it.

If you kill him, you will bear the name of harming virtuous people. If you don't kill him, you will not be able to control Youzhou.

As a relative of the emperor, Liu Yu would never give up Youzhou.

Tian Feng is a counselor, so he can ignore these things, but Cheng Yuanzhi, as the lord, has to think about it.

"What do you think?"

After thinking for a long time, it was difficult to make a decision, Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Jushou.

I hope the latter can fight Tian Feng and let him be clean for a while.

He was frightened by Tian Feng, and now whenever he saw Tian Feng speak, he would feel a shadow in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other and said, "Master, what Tian Feng said is right."

"Not to be missed!"

"Liu Yu is definitely no match for Gongsun Zan. If you wait any longer, Youzhou will be in danger!"

It can be seen that Ju Shou is still brooding over the withdrawal of troops from Qingzhou.

Fuck!I asked you to share the pressure, not to let you and Tian Feng join hands to hate me... Cheng Yuanzhi glared at Jushou angrily, pondered for a while, and said:
"Both of you are right, please let me think twice!"

The implication is that you are right, but I don't listen!

a little bit...

Tian Feng became anxious immediately, and said excitedly: "My lord, if you miss this good opportunity, the general situation is gone!"

"No!"

Cheng Yuanzhi slowly sat on the main seat, shook his head and said:

"I'm just Jizhou Mu. It was an outrageous act to send the two of you to aid Liu Yu. Today, why should I lead the army there again?"

"Besides, Dong Zhuo is still alive and the court is still alive, so it's not right, not right to do such an overlord's act!"

"Don't you know that a tree beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and a dike higher than the shore will be destroyed by the waves?"

"I have made up my mind, no need to say any more!"

"My lord!" Tian Feng became angry, flicked his sleeves, and said with wide eyes:
"Looking at the battle situation in Youzhou today, it is difficult for Liu Yu to resist Gongsun Zan. As expected, he will die within three months!"


"If you wait for Gongsun Zan to annex the land of Youyan and quickly take over the throne, when the time comes, praise the bravery of the army and the sharpness of the cavalry of Youyan, and Jizhou will be over! My lord is in danger!"


"Presumptuous!" Cheng Yuanzhi stood up and glared.

"You open your mouth about Jizhou's danger, but shut your mouth about Jizhou's danger. If Gongsun Zan is so powerful, why did he lose all three battles against me in Jizhou?"

"Back down, don't say anything more!"

At this moment, no matter how good-tempered Cheng Yuanzhi was, he still couldn't bear Tian Feng's back to him again and again.

Good guy, are you a donkey?So stubborn!
Hearing this, Tian Feng did not back down, his expression was still very excited, his beard was up and down, and it seemed that he wanted to fight again.

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand quickly, not giving him a chance to speak.

"In recognition of your many good suggestions, and to exempt you from the unreasonable mistake you made today, I will fine you three months' salary as a warning to others. From now on, you can go to Changzi City to be the county magistrate."

"Don't step back!"

Two guards with big arms and round waists rushed over, lined up on the left and right, staring at Tian Feng covetously.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please!"

The two of them have already made a plan, as long as Tian Feng dares to speak harsh words against the lord again, they will directly kill Tian Feng.

Under the comfort of Jianpei and others, Tian Feng finally calmed down,
The eldest son city is a county and also the seat of Shangdang County.

From Jizhou Biejia to county magistrate, there is no doubt that he was demoted.

In other words, from now on, the people Tian Feng dealt with, from Jizhou celebrities, governors and state herds, to Xialiba people and ordinary people.

Every day we have to deal with such trivial things as cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys shitting on the street...

Thinking of this, Tian Feng decided to break the jar and spit out what he had just suppressed.

He stretched his body and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please listen to my last words."

Cheng Yuanzhi stared at Tian Feng for a long time, then lowered his head and said, "You tell me."

Since you were assigned to Bingzhou by me and won't be able to come back for a short time, let me hear what you have to say...

"This is the opportunity given by God to unify Hebei. If you don't take it today, you will suffer from it in the future. My lord, you are so confused!"

"Quick, quick, get out!" Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hands repeatedly.

"My lord, you are so confused!"

On the way to be dragged down, Tian Feng still kept shouting.

After a while, the hall finally quieted down.

Cheng Yuanzhi was so angry that his blood pressure was a little high. He looked around, grabbed a brush, and wrote a few big characters on the pillar.

"Tian Feng, a common man, will never be hired!"

Then he looked at Jushou and Xu You fiercely, and thought to himself:

Who dares to jump out and challenge me again to see if I don't demote him to a groom!
Ju Shou lowered his head and said nothing.

Xu You shrank his neck and looked aside.

Count your acquaintances!Cheng Yuanzhi snorted coldly and walked away.

……

In the inner courtyard, in Cai Yan's room.

Cheng Yuanzhi walked in angrily, and sat down on the couch.

Cai Yan twisted his waist and moved over, removed his outer shirt for him, and said softly, "Why is your husband so depressed?"

Looking at Cai Yan, who was just a married woman, who was as gorgeous as a peach blossom, Cheng Yuanzhi said angrily:

"Made, I went to ask Ji Yu Tianfeng, but he turned back to me, it's unreasonable!"

"No reason!"

Cai Yan suppressed his laughter and comforted him softly: "My husband is the lord of a continent, so he should be magnanimous. Why bother with a subordinate..."


Cheng Yuanzhi was annoyed when he heard this.

"He Tian Feng contradicted me so much, so he blamed me instead?"

"Well, Yan'er, as my virtuous wife, it's fine if you don't speak for me, but you actually came to push me..."

"Where are you standing?"

"It is tolerable or unbearable!"

"Today I will educate you well!"

Before Cai Yan could finish speaking, Cheng Yuanzhi threw her into the bed...

The screams started instantly.


During this period, someone begged softly.

Cheng Yuanzhi was ruthless, and spent a stick of time to complete the education.

He got up and left with a relaxed face.

In the room, Cai Yan huddled in a corner aggrieved, with her arms hugging her knees, sobbing.

The pretty face buried under the hair...

Full of joy.
