Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 283

General Pingdi's mansion, side hall.

After everyone left, only two people remained.

Only then did Luo Zheng ask Jia Xu, "Wenhe has any ingenious strategy to defeat the Xianbei people?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said: "I do have an idea, but this planning committee really has peace."

Luo Zheng calmly said: "It's okay, as long as it's not against my Han people, no matter how insidious and vicious it is, as long as it can relieve the border troubles of the Han people, it's not too much to use it on those foreign races, Wenhe, but it's okay!"

Jia Xu said: "My lord, do you know that after a livestock dies, if it is exposed to the sun for a long time, the corpse will produce a kind of plague?"

Luo Zheng's eyes narrowed, how could he not know about the plague.

As a time traveler, no one in this era has a deeper understanding of the source and severity of the plague than him.

"This general knows!"

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "Not only livestock, even after death, if it is not buried in time, the corpse will rot and produce a virus. This virus can even be contagious, which is extremely harmful. "

Jia Xu said in surprise: "I don't want my lord to know so much about the plague!"

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Wenhe wants to use the plague to deal with the Xianbei people in Mobei?"

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "Although this method has the advantages of heaven and earth, its lethality is indeed very large."

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "Although the plague is extremely harmful, everyone in the world insists that the dead should be buried in the soil. Even if it is a livestock, if it dies of illness, it will be buried, and it will not be exposed to the wilderness. It is not so easy to cause the plague, right? "

Jia Xu said with a sinister smile: "It is impossible to directly cause plague on the prairie, but the Lord can order people to go deep into Mobei to explore the river, find out the water sources of Xianbei's various tribes, and then collect rotting livestock carcasses and bury them in the upper reaches of the river. It can spread the plague to the prairie. Unless the Xianbei people dig wells to get water, they will not be spared."

Luo Zheng suddenly looked condensed, only to feel cold in his heart.

This method is indeed a bit insidious, no wonder Jia Xu refused to speak out just now.

If other princes also use this trick against themselves, the result will be chilling when you think about it.

However, using this poisonous strategy to deal with aliens is indeed very effective.

Luo Zheng made a decisive decision, and immediately slammed Jiedao: "Good, according to the plan of Wenhe, this matter should not be too late, you can quickly arrange people to do it, it is best to let Mo Bei after the general calms Hetao The Xianbei people were seriously injured, and even fell into civil strife, so in the future, my general will wipe out Mobei without any effort."

Jia Xu happily said: "I obey!"

Luo Zheng straightened his face, and said solemnly: "As far as this general knows, once the plague spreads, it will be extremely difficult to control. It doesn't matter if it harms the Xianbei people, but we must never let the plague harm my Han people."

Jia Xu also said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, Xu will understand!"

Luo Zheng just nodded, and discussed the details with Jia Xu for a while before going to the inner courtyard.

In August, the lingering prestige of the autumn tiger is still there.

On the wide river surface, eight thousand strong young men all wore only a short skirt, and their upper body was naked, practicing swimming on the shallows by the river. Because they were exposed to the sun for a long time, the faces of these young and strong men were all as black as pots. end.

Even the naked upper body has a dark red copper color.

After the eight hundred Jinfan thieves came to Liangzhou, they all changed, not only became officers and soldiers, but also became officials.

The worst ones also became officers, and the bosses became even more senior officers.

All the Jinfan thieves were in high spirits, and led their rare ducks to practice water skills desperately.

The boss became the captain of the navy, and all the thieves who were shouting for beating have all become officers and soldiers, and the worst ones have even got a very senior military position. Where can such a good job be found? Jin Fan can't help it The thief is not motivated.

The only annoying thing, perhaps, is that these rare ducks in the northwest are too speechless.

On the ground, they are all wolves, but in the water, they are all a group of soft-legged shrimps.

After training for nearly a year, these guys barely got a little bit of shape.

Gan Ning stood not far away, watched for a while, and gradually frowned.

After a year of training, these recruited men have already learned water skills, but they can barely manage to avoid being drowned after falling into the water, and they are still a lot short of going to the battlefield.

Compared with the 01 brothers under him who can catch fish in the river, the difference is not 30:[-].

These Northwesterners seem to have an innate fear of water. No matter how much they train in different ways, they can't treat the vast river as a land where they can gallop freely like Erlang in the south.

Don't look at the usual glances during training, if you really want to face the Jingzhou Navy, you will definitely collapse without a fight.

Gan Ning was dissatisfied, quite dissatisfied.

Ever since he joined the lord's account, he got everything he wanted, and the eight hundred brothers also had a good background, and the money, food, and supplies Xun Yu Zhang Shi didn't have any trouble with, all allocated according to the reported amount.

If you don't train a real navy, how can you be worthy of the trust and reuse of the lord.

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he was about to give these guys some serious information, a fast horse riding a meteor came galloping from afar, and the navy soldiers on duty checked the arrow orders and let them go immediately up.

This guy is carrying General Pingdi's arrow order, it's not like they can stop him.

The summoning soldiers rode their horses straight to the camp, and Zheng went straight to Gan Ning before reining in his horses.

"Where is the arrow order?"

Gan Ning didn't wait for the summoner to speak, and stopped drinking.

"The arrow order is here!"

The messenger turned over and got off his horse, stepped forward a few steps and handed the arrow order.

Gan Ning checked the arrow order, and after confirming that it was correct, he asked, "What military order does your lord have?"

The summoner shouted loudly: "The lord has an order, and ordered Governor Gan Ning to go back to Chang'an!"

Gan Ning didn't hesitate, handed back the arrow order and said, "Okay, I'm going back to Chang'an now, do you know what's going on?"

The messenger said: "The villain doesn't know!"

Gan Ning didn't ask any more questions, and waved a few soldiers to take the messengers down to rest, then called the adjutants and some navy generals to explain, and immediately left the navy village with more than ten soldiers, Xingye Nan Went down to Chang'an.

Hanzhong Nanzheng, a mansion covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.

The night was dark, and there was no sound in the huge mansion. Even the servants serving the masters walked on catwalks as much as possible, not daring to make too much noise, so as not to offend the masters.

Yang Song looked at the bamboo scroll for a while, feeling depressed for no reason.

In recent years, the world has been in chaos, the feudal lords have separatist regimes, and warlords have fought among themselves. For wise men, this should have been a great opportunity to make contributions, but the lord I serve only wants to occupy Hanzhong as the local emperor, and has no intention of expanding outwards at all.

It was fine at first, but now there is a problem.

In the past, there were constant wars between Liangzhou and Guanzhong, and the princes changed like a lantern, making Liangzhou and Guanzhong worse and worse, and they became poorer and poorer. Whether it was Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, or later Guo Si and Xu Rong and others cannot threaten Hanzhong.

At that time, Hanzhong was a paradise, so the Hanzhong gentry were very satisfied.

But it's different now. Liangzhou and Guanzhong no longer have separatist warlords, and there is only one Luo Zheng left.

There were only a group of small fish in the pond, but suddenly a shark came and ate all the small fish. The only remaining small fish that was not eaten was because the shark was too full and lost its appetite for the time being. .

When the shark is hungry again, the fate of this little fish can be imagined.

Recently, the story of the prosperity of the city has been popular among the Hanzhong gentry. It is said that there is this kind of shark that eats small fish in the vast and boundless sea in the distant future. .

Yang Song now has a feeling that if Luo Zheng is that shark, Hanzhong is that little fish.

All Hanzhong gentry have witnessed the process of Luo Zheng from being weak to being big, and they all agree that Luo Zheng is definitely more dangerous than the shark that only eats small fish. The former neighbors, whether it is Ma Teng, Han Whether it is Sui, or later Lu Bu Guo Si and others, they are either dead or driven away.

Even though Luo Zheng once formed an alliance with Zhang Lu, the Hanzhong gentry now seriously lacks a sense of crisis.

Living in a pond with a shark doesn't feel safe.

In the past, Hanzhong gentry could say that Hanzhong was surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now forget it.

If Luo Zheng uses all his troops to attack, the possibility of Hanzhong defending will not exceed [-]%.

Yang Song was rather contradictory in his heart. The word "loyalty and righteousness" is the archway of scholars, and no one would easily discard it.

But the problem is that the lord I serve is really not an ambitious person. Of course, there was no problem before guarding Hanzhong as the local emperor, but now there is an extra shark in the pond. It is not so easy to continue to be the king of Hanzhong.

Yang Song wanted to help Zhang Lu defend Hanzhong, to be loyal, but he had to consider the clan.

And clan interests, and loyalty to the Lord often run counter to each other.

That's why Yang Song was conflicted, even a little irritable, and recuperated at home on the grounds of recuperating.

Luo Zheng is not a good guy, how much blood has been shed in Guanzhong and Liangzhou these years, how many people have died, the corpses of the alien Hu people outside the Great Wall are said to not even eat the hungry wild wolves on the grassland, the Hanzhong gentry knows this most.

Zhengguo is worried because he knows a lot.

Once the wolf enters Hanzhong, can his clan be preserved?

Yang Song even had plans to move his family to Xichuan, but of course he only thought about it occasionally and never dared to speak out.

There were slight footsteps outside the door, and the butler pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, I have a guest to see you!"

The butler lighted the lantern and said respectfully.

"who?"

Yang Song frowned, no one came to visit in the middle of the night.

The butler replied: "The people who come here say that Fufeng is Fazheng, and he has met the master on several occasions!"

"Fayan's son, Fazheng?"

Yang Song was startled, of course he knew about Fazheng, and he was quite impressed.

I heard that after Luo Zheng pacified Guanzhong, Fa Yan was promoted to be the prefect of Fufeng and was reused. His son Fa Zheng was even more amazing. It is said that he was favored by Luo Zheng's military adviser Jia Xu and strongly recommended him. Became Jia Xu's deputy.

Although he is only a staff officer with the army, his rank is not as good as that of a county magistrate, but the degree of reuse is not only based on his rank.

The eunuchs next to the emperor were still slaves, and even the third prince had to give face to others when the ten permanent servants left the palace.

A mere army staff officer, his rank and official rank are not high, but he is a close minister, and he can also advise the military, and even participate in the formulation and implementation of some military and political strategies under Luo Zheng's rule. This is not comparable to that of local officials. up.

That is the core of Luo Zheng's military group's power, and ordinary people are not qualified to participate.

Although the county guard is prominent and has a lot of power, except for Luo Zheng's confidant generals and the first group of confidantes who followed Luo Zheng, even if other people can have power, it is very important to participate in the core power structure Disaster.

That kid Fazheng has only just reached the crown, so he can be reused. I don't know how many Guanzhong nobles died of envy.

Because Hanzhong is close to Guanzhong, many gentry families have heard of it.

How could Fazheng come to Hanzhong, and he came to visit him in the middle of the night, most likely he came secretly.

Yang Song was very puzzled, pondered for a while, and then waved: "Let him in!"

The butler agreed and withdrew.

Not long after, a man wrapped in a thick leather jacket came in with him.

Yang Song only looked at this appearance of hiding his head and showing his tail, and he concluded even more that Fazheng must have come to Hanzhong secretly.

"Fa Zheng, a late student, met Mr. Yang Song!"

Fazheng bowed his body, and greeted him as a senior, with extremely thoughtful etiquette.

"Nephew, don't be too polite!"

Yang Song also didn't get up, and waved his hands, taking full advantage of the elders.

Fazheng didn't take it seriously, so he talked about the past with Yang Song as a junior, and listened to Yang Song talk about the big things, but he rarely expressed his views, but he was constantly trying to figure out Yang Song's thoughts.

A qualified counselor must not only have a far-sighted vision, be good at proposing reasonable strategies, but also be able to read people's hearts.

In this regard, among all the people Fazheng has met, Jia Xu is definitely the best.

The poison in the old fox's eyes is absolutely the only thing Fazheng has seen in his life.

As for the insidiousness of using schemes, it is even more chilling.Even though Fazheng is also very good at planning, after all, most of the education he receives is more orthodox Confucianism, unlike Jia Xu's old fox, who has been ingrained in viciousness.

Fazheng thought about it secretly for a while, and heard Yang Song talking about who among the princes in the world can achieve great things. Without thinking about it, he said: "My lord is a man of great talent, knows people well, and is good at fighting. Abundant, well-equipped soldiers and food, and golden rice and other important tools of the country, no princes in the world can match it, and it may be a great cause!"

Yang Song snorted coldly: "Luo Zheng wantonly slaughtered the nobles in the world, and he is actually the enemy of the nobles in the world. How can he achieve great success?"

Fazheng didn't dispute, and asked respectfully: "But sir, you think that my lord, who occupies the land of Guanliang and has the benefits of gold, rice and community, can't accomplish great things, then there is still a guarantor in the world who can accomplish great things? "

Yang Song said indifferently: "The governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, is an outstanding person in the world, and he can achieve great things!"

Fazheng smiled without saying a word, very calm, and did not refute!
