Soldiers come to the world

Cao Pi knew that since Cheng Yu came looking for him, he must have a plan, otherwise what would he call a military adviser?

Sure enough, Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Actually, I believe that the Han army can continue to fight a protracted war, and there is no need to go to war so aggressively. The violent attack on Hefei and the sneak attack on Xuzhou are obviously to put pressure on us, which also reveals that the Han army The plight of the army, they are almost unable to hold on, eager to end the battle of Hefei."

"However, there are millions of cattle and sheep in the Han Kingdom, so how can there be no food?" Hua Xin asked next to him.

Cheng Yu said calmly: "I also know that the Han army has millions of cattle and sheep, but the problem is how to transport them to Hefei? The Han army has thousands of ships in Chaohu Lake, but they can't return against the wind and the current. Chaisang, as far as I know, after mid-December, the Han army no longer has a fleet coming from Chaisang, which means that Chaisang has no ships and no means of transportation. , it is also the water that is far away does not quench the thirst.”

Hua Xin was speechless. After a while, he laughed dryly and said, "It turns out that Master Cheng is quite well informed."

"I can't talk about being well-informed, I'm just concerned about the situation."

Cao Pi took his words and said: "Since Cheng Junshi has been paying attention to the situation, why not tell me, what should I do now?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Because of the current situation, I suggest that the son immediately have a meeting with Liu Jing, and give up Shouchun in exchange for the withdrawal of the Han army from Xuzhou. As for Duke Wei, I will explain."

Cao Pi and Hua Xin looked at each other, both of them were shocked, especially Cao Pi, his heart was in a mess, how dare Cheng Yu make such a decision, there is only one reason that can be explained, either Cheng Yu just received his father's warrant, or his father Before leaving, he gave Cheng Yu the right to make the decision.

The former reason is unlikely because there is too little time, and the latter reason is the most likely. Cheng Yu has been holding back because he has the real decision-making power in his hands.

But Cao Pi didn't have time to think about it at this time, he nodded, "I will send someone to contact Liu Jing immediately."

Cheng Yu then left and left. As soon as Cheng Yu left, Cao Pi slammed the teacup into pieces, gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will wipe out this old thief's family!"

.........

The fall of Pengcheng became the last straw that overwhelmed Cao Jun. Cao Jun had to fully accept the armistice conditions offered by the Han Army. Cao Jun retreated to the north of the Huaihe River, abandoning Hefei and Shouchun, and the two armies took the Huaihe River as the boundary.

As a concession, the Han army agreed to abandon Pengcheng, and the troops withdrew from Xuzhou. Liu Jing also promised that the Han army would not cross the Huaihe River within two years. So far, the Hefei battle, which lasted for nearly a year, finally came to an end.

As Liu Jing and Cao Pi signed the agreement respectively, Cao Jun began to abandon Hefei and Shouchun City, and retreated northward along the Huaihe floating bridge. I can't see the edge of the north retreating team, all of them are soldiers of Cao Jun, but there are no civilians from Shouchun to follow.

Cao Pi knew where the problem was. He collected all the food from the people, and the people of Shouchun hated him deeply. Cao Pi couldn't help but sighed, and said to Wang Lang: "We have completely lost the hearts of the people in Jianghuai in this battle!"

Wang Lang comforted Cao Pi and said, "You don't have to think too much, the main reason is that the people don't want to leave their hometown, especially don't want to cross the Huai River. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Huainan is rich in water and Huaibei is barren. It's within my expectations."

Cao Pi smiled bitterly, shook his head again, turned his horse's head and said to Cao Zhenling: "Once Cao's army is completely withdrawn, immediately set fire to the pontoon bridge."

"Follow the order!"

Cao Pi then lashed his horse with a whip, and the horse ran northward quickly. Cao Pi didn't want to look at Huainan again. For him, the war was over, and he should consider how to take over the power of Cao Wei.

........

According to the agreement reached by the two parties, Cao Jun must hand over Shouchun City to the Han army before withdrawing, so on the night of the signing of the agreement, all Cao Jun soldiers withdrew to station outside the city, and Fazheng led a Han army of 3000 people to station. He captured Shouchun City, closed the city gates, maintained order in the city, and prevented Cao's soldiers from looting Shouchun while the army was defeated.

This is because Liu Jing learned the lesson of Cao Hongzong's looting of Wancheng and took the first step to control Shouchun City with a population of 20. It should be said that this is a very necessary measure. Since the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the defeat of the army and the chaos of the city have almost become the law .

Therefore, Liu Jing clearly asked Cao Pi to withdraw all Cao soldiers from the city before the armistice agreement was communicated to the Cao army, and then the Han army entered and closed the city gate. This will keep the safety of the 20 people in Shouchun, and make the people in Shouchun full of gratitude to the King of Han.

On the second day after Cao Jun crossed the Huaihe River, Liu Jing entered Shouchun City under the guard of thousands of soldiers. The main road in the city had been cleaned. .

Both Hefei and Shouchun belong to Huainan County, and Shouchun is the prefecture of Huainan County. When Liu Jing arrived at the county office, the prefect Jia Fang led more than a dozen officials to greet him, and knelt down to pay respects to Liu Jing, "See Your Highness the King of Han! "

Liu Jing asked his own soldiers to support the crowd, then got off his horse and smiled at them, "Shouchun and Hefei will depend on you in the future, and I hope you will work hard and do more for the people!"

Everyone was overjoyed. The King of Han meant to use the local officials. They surrounded Liu Jing into the hall like stars holding the moon. Liu Jing sat down at the head of the hall and waved his hands to order everyone to sit down as well. Then he asked: "I I want to know, how many Hefei people are there in the city?"

Jia Fang sighed and said, "Now Shouchun has a population of about 21, half of them have moved from Hefei, and most of them live in private houses. All kinds of chaos have lasted for a year, and Shouchun City has been overwhelmed."

"What is Shouchun's biggest problem now?" Liu Jing asked again.

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "The biggest problem is that there is no food."

Jia Fang anxiously said: "About ten days ago, Cao Jun collected all the food for the people in the city and implemented food rations. Each household was less than one hectare a day, so that the people were destitute and complained. Now Cao Jun has withdrawn and taken away all the food. There was no food in the city yesterday."

Fazheng next to him said: "Cheng Jia Jun is right. There is indeed no food in the city. Yesterday, Wei Chen set up fifty porridge relief stations in the city, and it was barely enough for a day. If the food problem is not solved, there will probably be civil disobedience." Messed up."

Liu Jing nodded, then turned around and asked Qin Mi, "How much food do we still have?"

Qin Mi thought for a while and said, "Our military rations are still enough for 20 days, but yesterday the wind turned to the east, and General Gan personally led the fleet to Chaisang to transport the rations."

Liu Jing thought about it for a moment. If everything goes well, the food will arrive in ten days. He said to Fazheng, "You can take out half of the army food to help the people of longevity, and help them get through the most difficult days. Once the food transport fleet When they return, the food problem will be alleviated."

All the officials were moved, kowtowed and wept together: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is merciful, it is a blessing to the people of Shouchun!"

Liu Jing smiled and said: "Since the people of Shouchun are my people, of course I can't ignore them, but I still have a few things that I need everyone to help."

"Your Highness, please give me instructions."

Liu Jing said slowly: "Hefei City has basically been destroyed by the war and needs to be restored. In addition, spring farming has begun in various places, and Shouchun is no exception. Therefore, I plan to implement military control in Shouchun and Hefei for half a year. That is to say, The 20 people in Shouchun City have to participate in labor. Of course, children and the elderly are exempted. Some people participate in farming, and some people participate in rebuilding Hefei City, and then renovate the river and dredge water conservancy. This is the condition for the Han army to provide food. This requires you Mobilize the major families, and everyone will work together to restore people's livelihood."

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, it is not a problem to let the people work. The key is the land issue. Before that, the land in Hefei and Shouchun had owners. Once the land is implemented, what will happen to the land property?

Jia Fang carefully expressed her worries, "Your Highness, the people of Huainan regard land as their lifeblood. If they lose their land, it may cause strong dissatisfaction among the people, and even riots. Please learn from me, Your Highness."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I won't confiscate the people's land, but within half a year, the original land ownership will be restored after the summer harvest. You can register the land in advance. In addition, Baixiashuize has flooded tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. It is estimated that There will be a lot of losses for others, but they can be allowed to reclaim wasteland and open fields, and they can be exempted from paying taxes for ten years. As long as you arrange these things properly, I will let you get promoted to another level."

Everyone was overjoyed, especially Jia Fang, the prefect of the county, was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear, that is to say, he will be promoted to the prefect of Huainan County in half a year.

Liu Jing then temporarily appointed Fazheng as the Colonel of Huainan Tuntian, and led [-] troops to cooperate with the local people in repairing the city and Tuntian to restore Huainan's economy that had been damaged by the war.

Liu Jing immediately gave birth to spring, and led the army back to Ruxukou by boat.

Although the battle with Cao Jun is over, it does not mean that the Han army has completely controlled Jianghuai. In fact, they currently only control the west of Jianghuai. Jianghuai is mainly composed of three counties, Lujiang County, Huainan County and Guangling County. Among them, the Han Army Controlling Lujiang County, Cao Jun controls Huainan County and the northern part of Guangling County, while the southern part of Guangling County belongs to Jiangdong.

After the Battle of Hefei, the Cao army completely withdrew from the Jianghuai area, and the Han army controlled most of the Jianghuai land, except that the southern part of Guangling County was still in the hands of Jiangdong, which is the Jiangbei area east of Liyang County.

It's not that Liu Jing must occupy the entire Jianghuai River, but once the Han army occupies the southern part of Guangling, it means that the Han army will control the entire Yangtze River, and the Jiangdong army will not have any chance to revive the navy.

Liu Jing paced back and forth in the cabin thinking, he had to find a way to occupy the southern part of Guangling in a reasonable and legal way, and station troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
