Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2105 There is only one way for the current plan

Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang checked Xu Yu's injuries. Although Xu Yu repeatedly emphasized that his injury was trivial and did not prevent him from going into battle to kill the enemy, in reality, it seemed that there were **** wounds all over his body, and then it was a deadly battle. Those who don't retreat, basically only once in a lifetime. Under the secretion of adrenaline, it is indeed possible to have that effect, but even if you don't die after the war, there will be many sequelae when the body relaxes, and you will be basically disabled.

  The so-called Immortal General Zhou Tai of the Three Kingdoms, the injuries all over his body were not caused at one time, they were accumulated from various battles, otherwise he would have gone to **** long ago.

   Fortunately, the treatment and doctors for Jinchuang have become a standard equipment under the command of General Hussars. The wounded soldiers and war horses such as Xu Yu were quickly debrided and bandaged. As long as Xu Yu and others can survive the infection period safely, basically speaking, the possibility of recovery is relatively high.

  『Cao Jun is coming...』Zhuge Liang looked around worriedly.

  If these refugees were the first bait to attract Cao Jun, then Xu Yu, who was wounded and returned, was undoubtedly the second bait. Cao Jun, whose confidence has been strengthened, will inevitably organize his troops to approach Zhuyang as soon as possible. On the one hand, he can capture more refugees to supplement his labor, and on the other hand, he can also invade Xu Huang's rear and threaten the flank of the general of the town army.

  『Come on! Just hit it! 』Xu Yu shook his arm nonchalantly, ignoring that his wound was still bleeding. To a certain extent, Xu Yu was even more eager to fight Cao Jun again, so as to wash away the shame of the previous defeat.

  Zhuge Liang glanced at Xu Yu, but didn't say anything.

  Liao Hua said from the side: "Kong Ming is worried about... these refugees..."

"what? ’ Xu Yu froze for a moment, ‘What? 』

  『If we follow the original plan to meet the enemy here...』 Liao Hua also looked at the refugees in the distance, "I'm afraid there will be a lot of damage..."

  『No…』 Xu Yu scratched his head, 『I don’t quite understand what it has to do with refugees? 』In Xu Yu's heart, victory is the most important thing. As for the refugees? When are there no refugees?

  Zhuge Liang said: "The original policy was to fight at Wubao, lure Cao's army and then burn them... But now the common people continue to use this policy, fearing that innocent people will be affected..."

  『No... wait...』 Xu Yu became impatient, then widened his eyes, "This...what is this innocent? These are not, uh...my mind is a little messed up, please tell me first, I have to sort it out...』

  Although Xu Yu didn't finish speaking, the general meaning can still be guessed. For Xu Yu, these refugees in Jingzhou are certainly not his own people, or in other words, they have not yet reached the standard of his own people, so even if it is affected, so what? Without these people as human shields or cannon fodder, it is already considered very preferential treatment. Now why are you thinking about whether it will hurt the innocent?

   But the problem is that Zhuge Liang thinks more.

   If you only focus on the present, it is really simple, but when you are alive, you can’t just stare at the tip of your nose, and you need to look up and look into the distance, right?

   Hussar General Fei Qian sent troops to Jingzhou to lure the people of Jingzhou into the Guanzhong. Apart from superficially supplementing the population and reclaiming wasteland, could it be said that he had no other intentions?

   When will Hussar General Fei Qian's strategy be so simple?

This time, the Jingzhou refugees took two routes, one into Guanzhong, and the other into Sichuan and Sichuan. In Zhuge Liang's view, there were three main purposes. The first aspect was naturally to replenish the population. There is nothing to say about this. The second aspect is the emptiness of the Central Plains, which makes it difficult for Cao Cao to obtain a lot of supplements from Jingzhou. This is complementary to the previous aspect, which is not difficult to understand, but the third aspect...

   is a bit obscure.

  In a sense, the base of the population represents the various dividends extended from the population, from taxation to talents, from production to the market, all of which are very important.

Before these Jingxiang population supplements, the population sources under Feiqian's rule were mainly divided into three parts, one part was originally the local people in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Sichuan, and Longyou, and this part of the population accounted for at least half of the total population. , the other part is Heluo, Yanzhou, and refugees who migrated and fled in Yuzhou, as well as Baibo Heishan people. Most of them were assigned to the Yinshan area of ​​the North. Wait, the number of these people is relatively the smallest.

   So therein lies the problem.

  Now under Feiqian's tent, people from the Jingxiang faction basically occupy the upper echelons, while the gentry in Shanxi Guanzhong control the place, and now these Jingxiang refugees will be a very important means to break this inertial confinement!

   is also the basis of indispensable political reconciliation!

Judging from the current situation, it is true that Xun Chen, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Xunyou and others headed by Fei Qian have controlled the highest power of the Xijing political group, but the problem is whether it is Fei Qian or others, for Guanzhong and the Guanzhong gentry, They are all foreigners...

In the long run, if this group of people in Jingxiang did not receive enough population support, then after ten or twenty years, even if the impact on Fei Qian is not considered, it is only about Pang Tong and others who were originally in high positions. , they had to face the impact and siege of the Guanzhong gentry who had climbed up from the grassroots. If you want to have a more stable political structure in the next ten or twenty years, of course you need to add a large number of Jingzhou population in Guanzhong.

   But the problem is, considering this aspect, of course Zhuge Liang couldn't talk to Xu Yu, and he wouldn't even talk to Liao Hua. Of course, from another point of view, when Cao Cao came, there would be a large number of people in Jingzhou who were unwilling to stay, but chose to run away. Apart from the influence of Fei Qian's previous political measures, there was another very The important reason is that the living environment under Cao Cao's rule is not as good as they claim.

"The order of the hussars is to attract more migrants..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "Now there are migrants in Wubao, if Cao Jun comes, they will definitely suffer a lot...We need to find another way...We don't want to win, but Ask for extension...」

  Xu Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, then at Liao Hua, and finally sighed, "Forget it, Kong Ming, tell me..."

  …щ(｀ωщ)…

  Xu County.

  The upper and lower walls of the city are heavily guarded. Although the banners and banners were everywhere, every soldier of Cao Jun had a dignified expression on his face, faintly uneasy.

The news just came from the front line that Tai Shici once again came to Yangcheng, claiming that Cao Cao killed Liu Biao and occupied Jingzhou. His Majesty thought again and reissued the edict...

  For the justice of the big man!

  For the fairness of the big man!

  The shocking slogan accompanied by the raised swords and guns hurt the hearts of everyone inside and outside Xu County.

   This matter is very troublesome, very troublesome.

  Even ordinary soldiers understand this.

  When the trouble is someone else’s family, you can still gloat and watch the fun, but when the trouble comes to your own head, can you still be happy?

Before Hanoi Lejin entered Heluo, he originally wanted to involve Tai Shici, but he did not expect to be defeated by Tai Shici in a blink of an eye. This kind of crashing news almost immediately diluted the previous victory of Cao Cao in Jiangdong. joy. What are Jiangdong people? It's just the southern barbarians, the hussars are the big trouble!

Many people know in their hearts that the edict given by the emperor to Liu Qi is already the maximum limit of compromise, and it is impossible to make a more favorable sentence for Liu Qi. Even if everyone knows that Liu Qi is a little pitiful, but what can he do? ? In this world, is Liu Qi's family the most pitiful?

If the Son of Heaven rehabilitates Liu Qi, does it mean that so-and-so in Xuzhou, so-and-so in Jizhou, and even He Yan, the son of the great general He Jin, can shout, "I want to sue you!" Royal! 』

  Even in the countryside, it is common to eat out of households. Even in later generations known as civilized, there are no younger generations in the family. Most of them have to swallow their anger when they encounter troubles? There is no shortage of disdain between the same aging people in nursing homes, and bullying is not limited to schools.

  When there are classes and interests, there is no so-called fairness and justice in this world, but more compromises.

  However, even so, some people in Xu County will choose to stand by and watch. Anyway, it is a matter between Cao Cao and the emperor. The meat will still be eaten, the wine will still be drunk, and the banquet will continue without any delay.

   Take Xun Yi for example.

  Xun Fen has a new son, so naturally he should celebrate it. Even if it is not held on a large scale, a small-scale family banquet must be held, otherwise some people will think that there is something wrong with Xun Fen.

  During the banquet, Xun Yi was somewhat absent-minded. Fortunately, under the influence of the flickering lights, wine, meat and delicacies, not many people noticed or cared about Xun Fai's slight gaffe.

  When the kabukis sang the ballad of "Xiaoya Luming" with their graceful voices, the atmosphere reached a climax, as if the threat from Yangcheng had disappeared...

Recently, the news about Cao Cao's victory has always been spread throughout the city at the first time, but compared to other news, most of them are relatively hidden, and the official media don't say anything. I can understand, after all, it is necessary to boost morale, but the problem is that when most of the gentry in the city have received some news one after another, even ordinary soldiers know about it, and have not officially acknowledged and announced it, is it really good to do so? ?

For most Shandong gentry, Hussar General Fei Qian is not a good object of allegiance. Judging from the current situation, many policies of Hussar General Fei Qian have major conflicts with the interests of Shandong gentry, especially In terms of Tianzheng, it seems that military exploits are needed to rank the land, it is simply poking into the heart of the Shandong gentry...

  Shandong's chancellor and Shanxi's general, isn't this a clear way of not giving the Shandong gentry a way out?

Hussars in Shanxi have less resistance to implementing this new land policy, because since the founding of the Han Dynasty, people in the northwest have been used to exchanging martial arts for meritorious titles. I heard about the "Yuzhou Four Heroes". In Jizhou, Yuzhou and other Shandong areas, there are more names like eight patrons, eight cooks and eight horses, which have nothing to do with martial arts.

  So in a sense, if one day Fei Qian really hits under Xu County...

   In other words, in the coming days, if General Hussars is more persecuted, will Cao Cao and the Shandong gentry cooperate more?

  Xun Xun used Jiu Jue to cover up, a thought popped up in his mind, and immediately became more and more disturbed by this thought...

  Could it be...

   Hussar General Fei Qian intended to do this?

  In Xun Wei’s view, Hussar General Fei Qian’s promotion of the New Deal with such great fanfare, even raising his sword and gun several times to persecute the gentry in Jizhou and Yuzhou, is not a sign of political maturity. You must know what politics is? It is "drums, zithers, and zithers, harmonious and exquisite!" 』

  If there is no violin harmony, how can there be joy?

   Therefore, Hussar General Fei Qianlue's seemingly barbaric implementation of the new land policy has indeed caused headaches for many Shandong gentry, but it is this kind of political immaturity that makes Hussar General Fei Qian even more terrifying. As the saying goes, don't be afraid of being arrogant, but be afraid of being stunned. This kind of stunned young man who doesn't know the depth is the easiest to do things that you don't expect. For example, Dong Zhuo back then...

The current Hussar General is even scarier than Dong Zhuo back then, among other things, he now has at least 50,000 to 60,000 elite cavalry, scattered all over the place, not only that, it is said that there are recruits constantly in Chang'an and Yinshan every day Practice, how can people sleep peacefully?

   While Xun Fai was thinking wildly, suddenly a servant crept over from the side and whispered a few words in Xun Fen's ear, which made Xun Fen stunned.

  …Σ(дlll)…

  Cao Cao gently put the battle report on the table, his eyes were gloomy, and he clasped his hands. Only in this way can his hands not tremble. Although Cao Cao's face still looked calm, there was unavoidably some strange disappointment in his eyes.

  Dong Zhao stood aside without saying a word, lowered his head, waiting for Cao Cao's order. He knew very well how depressed or angry Cao Cao would be at this moment...

Originally, Xiahouyuan's surprise army raided Wancheng, and the spies dispatched in advance were mixed among the refugees to attack Wancheng. Without much defense in Wancheng, it was originally a plan with a high success rate. Without the city, Cao Cao will undoubtedly gain greater freedom, and he will be more calm in advancing and retreating.

Others may not be very clear about it, but Dong Zhao understands it in his heart. Although Cao Cao seems to maintain the entire court as if it is solid, there are actually many loopholes. It is a fault brought out from the roots of a big man, and neither Cao Cao nor Dong Zhao can do anything about it.

It is like a patient with advanced cancer who kills cancer cells by a large number of means, but also kills a large number of healthy cells. If you don’t do anything to cancer cells, you can’t stop the spread of cancer cells. Treatment may not be able to save all of them...

   What's more, there are still two knives gesturing at Cao Cao's throat, chest and abdomen.

The last knife was naturally Tai Shici, but Tai Shici's queue was backed by Hangu Pass, and all of them were cavalry. If Cao Cao's army was overwhelmed, Tai Shici shrank into Hangu Pass. It was staged again, and Cao Cao could only retreat without success.

  So the one that is easier to deal with is naturally the knife in Jingzhou, but now...

   Wancheng, which was supposed to be acquired, was a sure-fire strategy, but it failed like this. The failure was in the hands of Huang Zhong, who was previously unknown and had no reputation at all!

  Now Cao Cao is caught in a dilemma, and Xiahou Dun in Xiangyang has no good news. How does this make Cao Cao make a decision? How to prove to the nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou that they are still strong, correct, and reliable?

With the protracted stalemate of the battle situation, there are gradually some bad rumors and rumors in Xu County in the rear. It probably means that Cao Cao is determined to go his own way, and he is nepotism. Divide power to other promising people, so that in the confrontation with Hussar General Fei Qian, he lost more than he won. Look at the generals under the hussars, from south to north, from east to west, which one has the surname "Fei"? Although the policy of Hussars is not very good, but the way of Hussars is still worth learning...

  Anyway, taking the meaning out of context and attaching it to the truth is originally a scholar's forte, so it's normal for Hu Qi to be a good guy at one time and a bad guy at another. Anyway, it's just talking about it, and you don't have to take responsibility, let alone these clear discussions are unreasonable?

   What made Cao Cao even more embarrassed was that some people in Xu County began to suggest that they could negotiate a peace with the hussars, and they didn't have to fight Jingzhou. Anyway, the land of Jingzhou, Jizhou and Yuzhou can't be planted, and they can't be harvested. For them, there is no damage at all.

  If Xia Houyuan can take Wancheng smoothly, everything is fine, but now...

  If other people were defeated, that’s fine, but the one who failed now is Cao’s Xiahou family that Cao Cao used as a barrier. This is undoubtedly another heavy slap in the face, extremely loud, not small, and very insulting.

The most resounding response at the moment is naturally to defeat Xu Huang in front of him, and then take down Wancheng and even the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop, to further understand the power of Hussar General Fei Qian and Jiangdong Sun Quan, and to demonstrate Cao Cao's own strength with illustrious military exploits. Prove your correctness, but the problem is, it's difficult...

  Dong Zhao stood aside, hands down.

  Cao Cao glanced at Dong Zhao, then lowered his gaze. If Guo Jia were here, Cao Cao would discuss it with him, but now Cao Cao has no one to discuss it with.

  Cao Cao pondered for a while, let go of his hands, stretched them out and pressed them on the table, took a breath, and said, "Come on!" Summon the generals! 』

  There is only one way for this plan!
