Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 100 The Opportunity of History (two-in-one, please recommend a monthly ticket)

Later, when he took over the affairs of the four states, Congyun did not intervene. He understood that his army of controlling cranes could not stay here for a long time. In the end, these places would need Wang Jing's Fengxiang army to take over the defense.

Wang Jing is Fengxiang Jiedushi, and these places are closest to Fengxiang Town.

Therefore, it would be best for him to simply not intervene, so as to avoid the trouble of another handover when he gets it.

Shi Congyun was actually a little worried in his heart, he was afraid that the emperor would let him stay in Guanzhong for a long time.

I can think of the next fight against Nantang, and his performance on the front line is also remarkable. The officials should not let him go, right?So I felt a lot more at ease.

However, I was somewhat apprehensive.

The government treasury in Wuwei City has already made the control crane army eat a lot.

Moreover, because Wuwei was an important military town, the original northern gateway of Shu Kingdom, in addition to armour, weapons and soldiers, also hoarded about [-] Dendrobium grains.

In the original plan of the Shu Kingdom, these grains were enough for Wuwei's defenders to eat and drink enough to stick to it for two or three years to deal with the threat from the north.

The rulers and ministers of the Shu Kingdom probably had such calculations in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, the Shu army did not hold on for two or three years, let alone two or three years, and all of them were handed over to Shi Congyun.

Therefore, the control crane army sent food from the Wuwei front line, without maintaining a long supply line, saving a lot of manpower and material resources, which is also one of the important reasons why the subsequent battles of Huanghuagu, Tangcang Town and Baijian were so successful.

Even if the officers and men of the control crane army can eat extra meals every day, they can't finish it at all.

They will eventually have to go back to the beams thousands of miles away. Even if there are pack animals, it is the limit for each soldier to bring one or two bags of food on the road. More weight should be reserved for valuable things, such as armor, weapons, cowhide, cattle Ribs, copper and iron utensils, etc.

So they have a lot of surplus grain, about [-] dendrobium.

Shi Congyun discussed with Pan Mei, who had withdrawn from Guzhen on the front line, for one night, and ordered the surplus food in the treasury to be distributed to the surrounding people.

Because the previous siege of Fengzhou City happened in the autumn, the people could not harvest in time. After that, many grains in the fields outside the city were harvested by passing troops, and Wang Jingqiang imposed a tax for one year. Almost one-third of the people had no harvest this year.

If left alone, the next spring could trigger widespread famine.

Bulk grains in Fengzhou are different from those near Taiyuan.Taiyuan could not be attacked, and without a strategic support point, the Zhou army could not occupy the surrounding states and counties.

At that time, food was given to the common people. When the Liao army went south, it was inevitable to go door to door to loot and loot. Instead, it would harm people, and it was equivalent to sending food to the Liao army for nothing.

The situation around Fengzhou is completely different.

The Shu army did not have the combat power of the Khitan Cavalry Corps, and they dared not look north after the battle of Huanghuagu.

There are strategic fulcrums such as Guzhen and Wuwei City, occupying important places such as Chencangdao and Xiegu, and the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng and Jie will be brought under the rule of Da Zhou in the future.

The Zhou army will be stationed on the garrison, completely taking over, and guarding against the state of Shu in the south. At this time, there is no negative worry about giving the people loose food, and there is no worries.

They couldn't take all the food with them.

This move will also make Shi Congyun and the Konghe Army popular in the places south of Guanzhong and have a good reputation. After all, it is rare that the army does not rob the people these days, not to mention giving the people loose food?
Having the support of peers can even show that this is rare, and it can also gain more people's hearts.

However, such a thing requires a large number of people to do it, to cooperate, and it also requires an effective plan.

So after negotiating with Pan Mei and making a decision, the next day Shi Congyun summoned the officers above the capital to gather in front of the tooth tent by the Jialing River to announce the matter.

Most people didn't react at all, just obeyed the orders, and they were used to Yun Ge'er's behavior. Sometimes the killing was decisive, but sometimes it was too womanly, and the soldiers discussed it privately.

The words once reached Brother Yun'er's ears, but he himself didn't care.

Only Dong Zunhui was a little indignant, "We can fight, why should we give them the food we rob."

"You can't take it with you, why are you stingy?" Wang Zhong said.

"Hmph, it's better to throw it into the river."

"Then it's better to plant it on your grave, so that you can collect a wave every year, and you won't be hungry in the future." Shi Congyun scolded coldly:

"You've been fighting with someone for so long, why haven't you made any progress? We can't be soft on the battlefield, and we shouldn't be ruthless in the battlefield.

If you can't even tell the difference, then you're not a good general, just a murderer.

Emperor Taizong of Tang said that water can carry a boat and capsize it, and the common people are the foundation of our wars. Think about the generals and soldiers in the army, how many of them are from ordinary people?The army's food and grass are not all harvested from the fields of the common people.In the future, if the army does not have the support of the people and becomes a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats, I really can only go to your grave. "

Dong Zunhui was a little unconvinced, "What's so scary about some flat-headed people! We have spears and big swords, what can they do, the big deal is to kill a river of blood, I think everything is good, but they are timid."

"How did you talk to Brother Yun!" Wang Zhong suddenly said dissatisfied, Shao Ji also glared over, Luo Yanhuan and the commanders all looked at him, and their eyes were mostly bad.

Even Pan Mei, who usually has a good personality and doesn't like to argue with others, lost her good looks.

Dong Zunhui suddenly panicked.

Shi Congyun turned back and saw Dong Zunhui lowered his head subconsciously and took a half step back. He was not very angry at Dong Zunhui's contradicting, but felt that Dong Zunhui was very similar to many problem students he encountered before.

Many of them are not that bad, not as bad as they describe or imagine, but they are just too self-respecting, not confident enough, want to express themselves, but do not have too prominent means.
As a result, he always likes to go against others to show his unconventional style.At the same time, too much self-esteem also makes them unable to bear grievances, and it is difficult to accept the accusations of others.

This is probably related to Dong Zunhui's background. After all, his family background was very good since he was a child, and he was considered a child who grew up with honey. Although he encountered some changes later, his childhood must have been smooth.

If he was a heartless person like Wang Zhong, he wouldn't care about other people's pointing and gossip, because compared to his half-life running around and suffering, those farts are nothing.

Dong Zunhui may have realized that he was too excited. He opened his mouth and seemed to want to explain, but he still didn't open his mouth in the end.

"Do you know why we were able to ambush in Huanghua Valley?" Shi Congyun did not reprimand, but changed the subject.

"We have thousands of soldiers, so such a big movement can't be hidden, and the surrounding people are not blind or deaf.

In the same way, there are thousands of people in the Shu army, and their movements cannot be hidden.

There are many villages in the west of Huanghua Valley, and there are people in the mountains who are avoiding the disaster of war. If some people take the initiative to inform the Shu army, our ambush is useless. We can only block Taniguchi and fight them recklessly. I don’t know how many brothers will die. . "

"Fortunately, the common people are on our side, and the Shu army rested for two days in the west of the Yellow Flower Valley, and none of the common people have informed them.

On the contrary, some people came to tell someone a few days ago that there seemed to be a lot of people coming from the west. They went out to collect firewood and saw movement in the mountains.

Why?Because we did not burn, kill and loot, nor did we rush to harvest the food of the people.If the hearts of the people were not on our side, the battle at Huanghuagu would not have been so beautiful. "

Shi Congyun saw that everyone was looking at him, blowing the wind by the river, his heart was up and down for a while, some emotions, and then he said something deeper: "I know that some of you privately feel that certain women are benevolent, and that you should not be soft-hearted.

But this is a huge opportunity.”

Shi Congyun organized the language in his mind, and he didn't know how to explain this opportunity to everyone.

"The world today is not the world of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
People in the world are their own masters, and there are few people in the world who will give up and think that they are citizens of which country. This is the most difficult time.

Because the people do not have a sense of belonging or identity, the army has no foundation anywhere, it is difficult to last, it will be rejected, and the turmoil in the world will not stop. "

Speaking of this history, Congyun thought of the people near Huanghua Valley. Although they are the people of Shu, the world has changed dynasties too frequently. There must be a large number of people who have no sense of belonging in Shu, so it is difficult for them to support the army of any country. .

But this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

"But this is also the time when it is easiest to win the hearts of the people.

People all over the world do not have a unified sense of identity, nor do they have the deep-rooted family and country thoughts like the Han and Tang dynasties. On the contrary, whoever does well can win the hearts of the people.

People all over the world have their own enclosures, and have experienced wars. After so many years, generations of people have suffered unspeakably.

The world has reached the point where people's minds are settled, and there are peers to set off. As long as we do better and treat the people better, the road ahead will only get better and better, and the battle will get better and better. "

After listening to Dong Zunhui, he was speechless, as if he didn't fully understand, but still nodded.

Although Shi Congyun was younger than them, his prestige was earned, and now everyone was willing to listen to him.

Everyone around them listened. They might not fully understand what it meant, but they remembered the instructions.

Only Pan Mei thoughtfully replied, "Brother Yun is really someone who has the world in mind."

Shi Congyun smiled and didn't say more, just instructed: "Pan Mei will arrange the loose grains, everyone must obey his arrangement, and Dong Zun instructs you to assist Pan Mei."

Dong Zunhui took a step forward and said more directly: "Brother Yun, don't worry, you can do it well, but if you don't understand some truths, it's always right for you to listen to you, it's my fault."

Shi Congyun laughed, "It's okay, it's okay to say it if you have something in your heart.

The key is you, especially your generals, commanders, and my attitude. We can argue more when we have things, and we can still have different dreams in the same bed as husband and wife. Besides, it's not surprising that we, a group of big men, have different ideas when we get together.

The key is attitude. We can say whatever we want here, and it doesn't matter if we argue, a certain person is not a vengeful person.

But there is one point, you can fight whatever you want when discussing matters. As long as a certain order comes down, you must abandon your previous hatred and work together, otherwise I will kill you. "

"Hey, don't worry, although we are rough people, we know the importance." Everyone agreed haha.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you understand me or not, but as long as you work under me, you must remember one thing, at least within the limits of your ability, and it is not harmful to us. Treat the people kindly."

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

The truth that Shi Congyun said did not expect everyone to understand it all.

The limitation of the times is not that people are not smart, but "the only lesson that human beings have learned from history is that they have not learned any lessons from history".

In Shi Congyun's understanding, the meaning of this sentence is: people cannot jump out of the times to see history, and people's views on history are reflections and reflections on the current era.

The times limit people's thinking, so they will also wear a curse when they look at history.

Therefore, it is not expected that many people in this era will understand his words. Shi Congyun can only instruct his soldiers and soldiers to treat the people more kindly.

Shi Congyun and their perspective on history are different. In Shi Congyun's view, the general trend of history cannot be changed by human beings.

There are many Ming masters of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and there are many generals who can conquer and fight well, but why is it that no one can rule the world and end such a troubled time?
To put it bluntly, in the beginning, only the world can taste the sweetness of chaos, but not enough of the bitterness of chaos.

But now, after a hundred years of war and bloodshed in the world, people finally understand that stability and reunification are good, and they all have the idea of ​​looking forward to the unification of the world and living and working in peace and contentment.

Under such a general trend of thinking, it is possible to rule the world, and there is a premise, and he and everyone are just catching up now.

The Jialing River is rushing, and Shao Ji, Wang Zhong, Dong Zunhui, and Luo Yanhuan who are behind these truths probably don't understand, and everyone just looks at his back with trust and admiration.

Standing at the height of the times, they are all lucky, but everyone does not know it.

Shi Congyun understood this truth, but he didn't understand that it was a disaster or a blessing.

In October, the spies from the south reported that the kingdom of Shu began to increase troops in the direction of Jianmen and Baidicheng.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, the army continued along the road at the bottom of the mountain, and the head and tail were not seen for three consecutive days.

This time, the Kingdom of Shu was really frightened, and it is estimated that it was preparing to hoard the entire country's troops on the northern front, in case Da Zhou really penetrated the Qinling Mountains and invaded Hanzhong and Chengdu.

But after hearing these news, Shi Congyun didn't take it to heart.

Because there was no follow-up increase in the Zhou Dynasty, the 10,000+ forbidden army had no follow-up except for the thousands of people brought by Han Tong.

Shi Congyun understood that the official Guo Rong didn't want to continue to attack Shu in the south. I'm afraid that the 10,000+ army of the Zhou Dynasty was ready to go south to the vast fertile fields of the Huaihe River and Yangtze River Basin.

In the evening, facing the night of Jialing River, he tried to analyze the reasoning of the decision-making of the relatives and the officials. Shi Congyun felt that if he decided such a major matter, he would not agree to continue the expedition of Shu.

If the forbidden army of Daliang is mobilized to Guanzhong, Henan will be empty, and the Southern Tang will have an opportunity. Moreover, the Southern Tang is a barrier to the east of the Shu Kingdom. The only way to attack Shu is to go through Guanzhong, and the army has a single retreat, which is too dangerous.

To destroy Shu, at least the Southern Tang Dynasty must be attacked. It is best to seize the land north of the Yangtze River and open the eastern gate of the Shu Kingdom. Only then can the Zhou army grasp the strategic initiative, have a variety of offensive directions, and advance and retreat freely.

But these are all his own thoughts, and he doesn't know what the officials and Xianggong think.

In mid-October, Daliang came to the special envoy.
