Han Dao world

Seeing the excitement on Jiang Xu and Yang Fu's faces, Liu Xie smiled and glanced at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu grinned and begged.

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu went in without knowing it, thinking that the emperor refused and Yang Xiu was pleading for them.

Chapter 608

"Masters must also know that the imperial army has not yet entered Guanzhong, and Shandong has already spread rumors that Liangzhou's tiger and wolf army will bring disaster to Shandong. It is a good thing that you are willing to serve the imperial court, but whether you can restrain your subordinates well is not a question. Turn rumors into facts?"

Jiang Xu and Yang Fu glanced at each other and bowed their hands in salute. "Your Majesty is taking the liberty to ask His Majesty to review it."

"So sure?" Liu Xie smiled. "It seems to be well prepared."

Yang Xiu said: "It's all thanks to the support of heroes from Hanyang that we can carry out enlightenment smoothly."

Jiang Xu said: "Your Majesty is wise. He regards Liangzhou as the territory of the Han Dynasty, and does not regard it as the territory of the Han Dynasty. He also sent a good prefect for Hanyang to combine virtue and ability. The people are happy and transformed without teaching. I Hanyang Qianghu The people are grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and are willing to fight to the death for His Majesty."

Liu Xie turned his head and said to Jia Xu, Zhou Zhong and the others: "Hanyang's morale is very high, and it deserves to be the hometown of Emperor Yan."

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Hanyang's real name is Tianshui. It is not only the hometown of Emperor Yan, but also the hometown of Fuxi. It has been outstanding since ancient times."

Zhou Zhong curled his lips and turned his head.

After traveling for a period of time, he had nothing serious to do, so he read a lot of new articles for entertainment. Among them, there were articles arguing that Liangzhou was the hometown of Emperor Yan, and even the hometown of Fuxi, and the evidence came from the Han and Qiang people. Especially the songs spoken by the Qiang population.

He just regarded it as a pastime, disapproved of Jia Xu's nonsensical remarks on such an occasion, and was not interested in joining him.

Liu Xie was very interested, and asked Jiang Xu and Yang Fu a few words, and agreed to their request to enlist, but did not agree to review.

The soldiers of one county are not enough for the emperor to review. He can only review them together after Guanzhong and when the soldiers of all counties gather.

Whether they can raise their face or not depends on themselves.

Although they were not able to ask the emperor to review it as they wished, Jiang Xu and Yang Fu were still very happy to have the opportunity to enlist.

Liu Xie then chatted with Wang Wei for a few more words.

Wang Wei already knew in advance that Wang Yi proposed not to set up an assassin, and he was a little embarrassed, so he repeatedly pleaded guilty.Liu Xie disagreed with Wang Wei's opinion, and expressed his affirmation of Wang Yi in front of Jia Xu and others.

One is that Wang Yi is courageous and insightful, and dares to express his own views, which is worthy of recognition.

Second, Wang Yi's proposal not to set up a governor may seem radical, but it is not unreasonable.The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the governor system can no longer meet the actual needs. The prefectural governor's jurisdiction is too large to take into account. Not only is it prominent in Liangzhou, but Jiaozhou and Yizhou also have such problems.

It is imminent to redefine the state, or adjust the authority of the state governor.It is rare for someone to stand up and raise this issue.

We are not afraid of rough opinions, but we are afraid of not being able to raise them.

Jia Xu's proposal to divide Liangzhou into three is just a solution.In terms of significance, it may not exceed Wang Yi's opinion.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven attached so much importance to Wang Yi's opinion, even disregarding Jia Xu's face, Wang Wei was a little apprehensive.

Jia Xu was also generous and agreed with the emperor's opinion.He proposed three points for Liangzhou, not against Wang Yi, but just hoped that it would be gradual.It seems that it is still difficult to use counties as states.In the long run, Wang Yi's point of view is still valuable.

Only then did Wang Wei feel relieved, and smiled again.

It was the first time for Jiang Xu and Yang Fu to see him, and they were also happy to see that the Son of Heaven was so approachable, yet he didn't give in casually, and spoke outspokenly.

As people from Liangzhou, what they dislike the most is the hypocrisy of the Kwantung scholar-bureaucrats, who say one thing but have another thing in their hearts, which makes people unpredictable.

It's easier to talk about what you have to say.

-

Accompanied by Yang Xiu, Liu Xie inspected several nearby counties, including newly reclaimed land and pastures for grazing.

Generally speaking, the people in Hanyang live a relatively stable life, and the relationship between Han and Qiang is relatively harmonious.

This is due to the support of the four surnames in Tianshui, the transfer of some land, and the transfer of some household registrations to Guanzhong. The reason why land and pastures are not so scarce.In the final analysis, the most fundamental contradiction is the contradiction between population and land.When the conflicts are not so intense, ordinary people have a basis to live on. Coupled with the incorruptibility of the prefect, no one dares to exploit casually, even if the life is harder, they can accept it.

Liu Xie and Yang Xiu discussed the possibility of recruiting Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.

Yang Xiu agreed.

Liangzhou can provide sufficient troops, but cannot provide enough food and grass.If Liu Biao and Liu Zhang surrendered without a fight, Jingzhou and Yizhou with well-to-do household registrations would become food for the imperial court, which would greatly reduce the burden on Guanzhong, and would be of great significance to the rapid pacification of Shandong.

And the peace of the world will also reduce the willingness to occupy land.The more chaotic the world is, the more precious the food is, and the stronger the will of the big clan to occupy the land.The reason why the Hanyang clan was willing to give up some land was not only the desire for official career, but also one of the important reasons why Liangzhou was peaceful and the food supply was relatively sufficient.

Liu Xie secretly sighed.

It's not that Yang Xiu didn't understand his desire to suppress the annexation, but he still said that, obviously he supported the gradual strategy, and he didn't want him to use the opportunity of war to label the Shandong clan as rebellious and then punish them violently.

But they don't know that without a stormy revolution, this is an almost impossible task.

Those big families in Shandong are not the small local tyrants of Liangzhou like the four surnames of Tianshui, and it is much harder to reason with them.

But history is so helpless, he can't let him have the final say.

Even if he is the emperor.

-

A fast horse rushed into Chenliu's prefect's mansion.

Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao received the emperor's edict, ordering him to rectify the troops and prepare to reinforce Pengcheng.

In the imperial edict, the emperor sternly warned Cao Cao not to make another mistake in the Pengcheng massacre, otherwise he would be severely punished.

After reading the edict, Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat and felt relieved at the same time.

With this edict, he finally doesn't have to worry about it.No matter how harsh the emperor's tone was, as long as he said it clearly and gave him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, he would not have to worry about future liquidation.

The edict is to be announced to the world.You have no jokes, and you can't contradict what you say.

Cao Cao immediately summoned Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other advisers to discuss sending troops.

It was not easy to reinforce Pengcheng. Although the judge and assistant led the main force to attack Pengcheng, they left a lot of troops in Suiyang.Only by conquering Suiyang can we advance eastward.

Guo Jia proposed to gather all the troops and besiege Suiyang.

Since it is a crime and meritorious service, it should show enough sincerity to make the emperor feel that he is sincerely repenting, and he will spare no effort to understand the siege of Pengcheng.

There are about [-] defenders in Suiyang, but there are not many soldiers in Jizhou, most of them are from Yanzhou.

The judge dared to do this based on a premise: the imperial court would not send troops, and Cao Cao would not go all out, so it would be difficult to conquer Suiyang in a short time.Even if Cao Cao sent troops, he would have enough time to come back and try to protect Suiyang.

Therefore, Cao Cao can do the opposite, gather all the horses and attack Suiyang, and see how the judges respond.

The siege of Pengcheng can be solved if the aid is sent back to aid.Cao Cao completed the task without sending troops from the imperial court, and the first success was at his fingertips.

If Shenpei didn't come back to help, he took advantage of the situation and took Suiyang, forcing Shenpei to retreat.

"Will the emperor send Han Sui to send troops?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jiadao.

Guo Jia smiled. "Whether the emperor will send Han Sui to send troops or not, Han Sui must have the idea of ​​sending troops. As long as he mobilizes troops, the Lord will have a chance to take advantage of the situation."

Cao Cao laughed out loud.

Chapter 609

Cao Cao accepted Guo Jia's suggestion, and immediately ordered Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun and others to gather their troops and prepare for the battle with great fanfare, preparing to attack Suiyang.

Not only that, he also wrote Dong Zhao, the prefect of Hanoi, and asked Dong Zhao to send troops together.He attacked Henan, and Dong Zhao attacked Hebei, which made Yuan Shao feel uncomfortable.

Taking this opportunity, he sent an edict again, requesting the imperial court to allocate [-] horses to strengthen the cavalry to deal with Yuan Shao's Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry.

Cao Cao's momentum became very strong, and the news had spread all over Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao's ears without moving his troops.

Yuan Shao was very nervous, and immediately summoned Tian Feng, didn't you say that the emperor would not send troops within three years?It hasn't been half a year yet, and the emperor is about to go east, how can we fight?

Tian Feng didn't take it seriously after reading the military newspaper he received.

The emperor is still in Liangzhou, who said he will go east?

Even Cao Cao was just bluffing, not taking it seriously.If he wants to come to Pengcheng, he must conquer Suiyang first.The city of Suiyang is strong, and there are 1 people left behind by the judges, so it is not so easy to conquer.It will be at least half a year before he conquers Suiyang.

Tian Feng finally said, the lord, don't worry, the minister said that the emperor would not send troops for three years, it was based on the wise judgment of the emperor.In case the emperor is unwise and leads his troops out in less than three years, it is not a bad thing for the lord, on the contrary, it is more beneficial.

Yuan Shao was puzzled and asked Tian Feng why.

Tian Feng said, before the army moved, food and grass went first.The consumption of an army of [-] is astonishing, especially when there are a large number of cavalry.To ensure sufficient combat effectiveness, war horses need to be fed with food. One war horse is equivalent to five or six infantry, and [-] cavalry is equivalent to the consumption of [-] to [-] infantry. Affordable.

In order to support such a large army to fight, the imperial court must first win Jingzhou and Yizhou, and use the money and grain of Jingzhou and Yizhou as military resources.

Especially Jingzhou.

Therefore, instead of worrying about the emperor going east, you should find a way to stabilize Liu Biao so that he will not easily surrender to the court.

Secondly, the emperor's subordinates are mainly Bingliang people.During Dong Zhuo's turmoil, he merged with the Liang army and caused disasters in the Central Plains. The areas of Chenliu, Yingchuan and Runan suffered the most.Now that the emperor is coming again, he will definitely send people to the counties to collect money and food. Once the restraint is not effective, the chaos of the past is bound to reappear.

At that time, who would still believe that the Son of Heaven is the Emperor of Han?

He's just another Dong Zhuo.

Even if he is the emperor, he is also the emperor of Bingliang people, not the emperor of Shandong people.

But all people of insight will not support him, so they will gather under the banner of the lord.

Therefore, the emperor going east is not a threat to the lord, but a help. He will drive those hesitant people to the lord's side.

Yuan Shao was delighted when he heard this, praised Tian Feng a few words, and then asked how to attack the city.

Since the dispatch of troops, Tian Feng's plan has been perfect and exhaustive.

The only shortcoming is that after Pengcheng became an isolated city, it did not collapse as Tian Feng estimated, and Liu Bei did not surrender as Tian Feng estimated.On the contrary, Liu Bei's attitude is very firm, and he has the momentum to live and die with Pengcheng.

Not only that, Liu Bei also showed unprecedented combat effectiveness.

After completing the necessary preparations, Yuan Shao launched a tentative attack, hoping to force Liu Bei to surrender.Although it is tentative, there are a lot of troops, a total of 6 or [-] people, and almost all the main forces are in battle.Shenpei was in the west of the city, and Yuan Shao was in the south of the city. They attacked fiercely from both sides, and then launched a feint attack on the north and east of the city on Surabaya.

But the result disappointed Yuan Shao, and even caused dissatisfaction with the judge.

Liu Bei is very tenacious and outstanding.

The two sides fought fiercely for two days. Yuan Shao suffered nearly 3000 casualties and nearly [-] arrows, but he failed to break through the city as he wished, and his morale was frustrated instead.

Therefore, the judge accused Tian Feng of not listening to his suggestion, which delayed the fighter plane and gave Liu Bei enough time to prepare.If he had listened to him and instead of besieging Tancheng, but directly surrounded Pengcheng, Liu Bei would have no time to prepare.

The conflict between the judge and Tian Feng was not made public, it was just a private quarrel, but Yuan Shao still received the news.

Facing Yuan Shao's inquiry, Tian Feng was calm and unhurried.

Why did Liu Bei not surrender?It is because the emperor gave him a promise that as long as Xuzhou can be kept, his clan will be restored.

Whether Liu Bei is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, in fact, no one can say for sure, maybe even Liu Bei himself doesn't know.Prince Jing of Zhongshan has too many heirs, and Liu Sheng's Zhongshan Kingdom has been exterminated for 200 years, and no one knows who his heirs are.

The emperor made such a promise because he wanted Liu Bei to stick to Pengcheng.

For this opportunity, Liu Bei will definitely not give up easily, but he is alone and has limited strength, so he cannot hold on for too long.This point must be very clear in his heart.The reason for not surrendering should be to expect to stick to it until a hundred days later.

According to the imperial court system, if the city is defended for a hundred days but no reinforcements arrive, the surrender may not be held accountable.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei sent someone to ask for help as soon as the trial was besieged.It's just that the interrogation was tight, and his news was not sent out, so he could only fight desperately, hoping to persist until the court received the news of Pengcheng's siege.

Therefore, the lord does not need to rush to attack the city, as long as he prevents reinforcements from approaching.

After a hundred days, at most half a year, Liu Bei will surrender.

Tian Feng then analyzed the situation for Yuan Shao.

He estimated that although the Son of Heaven may not go east, he will definitely create a situation, and there will be actions from south to north, from Jiangdong to Youzhou.But these actions are all thunderous, little rain, and the actual threat is limited.As long as Yuan Shao can stabilize his mentality and order all the ministries to stick to their jurisdiction, it won't take long for the situation to become clear.

If there is anything to worry about, it is not Suiyang, but Jibei.

Summer is coming to an end, and autumn is approaching. If Xun You led his troops into Youzhou, attacked Hejian from Zhuojun, or entered Zhongshan from Feihu Road, the situation in Jizhou might be shaken.Once Yuan Tan can't stop Xun You, the scene where Gongsun Zan drove straight in and the soldiers reached the boundary bridge will reappear.

As for Suiyang, Cao Cao was helpless with the [-] troops on trial.

He has so many troops, even if the whole army is mobilized, it will be difficult to take Suiyang in a short time.Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Suiyang is in danger of falling, it is only three or four hundred miles away, and the main force can return to help at any time, so there is nothing to worry about.

If Cao Cao doesn't come to attack Suiyang, he will let it go. If he dares to come, he will take this opportunity to wipe him out and take Ruying into his pocket.

After hearing Tian Feng's analysis, Yuan Shao was determined, and immediately sent people to Jingzhou to contact Liu Biao, and at the same time sent people back to North Hebei to remind Yuan Tan that he must guard North Hebei and not let Xun You take advantage of the loopholes.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao ordered people to build a siege outside Pengcheng, assuming that he would not give up until Pengcheng was broken.

At the same time, Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin to go to the city again to persuade him to surrender.

The battle of Xiapi was an accident, it was the cavalry of Xianbei and Wuhuan who were red-eyed, and it was not intentional.However, if Pengcheng does not surrender, it is inevitable that innocent people will be killed or injured after the city is broken. I hope that Liu Bei will not resist stubbornly and implicate the people of Pengcheng.

Chapter 610

Chen Lin refused Yuan Shao's order in her heart.
