It is said that Zhao Chen used a trick to falsely pass on information and led out the secret agents lurking in Kaiyang City. However, after careful questioning, he found out that there were actually many agents in Kaiyang City, and most of them were the wives and children of ordinary people. Small.
This puts everyone in a bit of trouble.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "How come the people in Kaiyang City want to help the bandits, but are not willing to help us suppress the bandits!"
"General Zhang, it's not that the people don't want to, it's just that they can't. This place has been occupied by Zang Ba and others for a long time, and no outside force dares to confront them, let alone the unarmed people in the city."
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "What Uncle Zhi said is true."
Zhang Fei became anxious again: "Then what should I do? Could it be that we just watch that boy Zang Ba being arrogant outside?"
Regarding the last defeat, Zhang Fei has always been resentful in his heart. He didn't lose to Lu Bu, how could he lose to Zang Ba!
Chen Dao suggested: "Military advisor, it's better to let these two people go out and identify them. It only takes a while to identify all the details."
Zhao Chen shook his head and explained: "Although this method can identify all the people who have connections with the bandits, it cannot cut off their entanglements of interests and is very easy to relapse. It is not a long-term solution."
At this time, Cheng Yu stood up and said: "No need to worry, just two steps can prevent this kind of situation from happening again, and Kaiyang City will be rejuvenated."
Zhao Chen asked Cheng Yu in surprise what the plan was.
Lu Xun was even more curious. A strategy that could drastically change a city must be a shocking plan.
Cheng Yu said expressionlessly: "We only need to replace a group of Kaiyang City citizens."
"How to change the method?" Zhao Chen asked doubtfully.
"A lot of refugees have come to Xuzhou recently, and their resettlement is time-consuming and laborious. If the refugees are uniformly arranged to Kaiyang City, the whole of Kaiyang will naturally take on a completely new look."
Zhao Chen nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then where will the people of Kaiyang City go?"
Cheng Yuyin smiled and said: "Since the people of Kaiyang City are not at ease, they can only become refugees and rush to other counties in Xuzhou."
Lu Xun took a breath of air-conditioning when he heard this. Doesn't this mean that the people of Kaiyang City will be displaced and homeless?
On the other hand, Zhao Chen was a little calmer. He had already understood Cheng Yu's poison, and he would not be surprised even if Cheng Yu told him to kill and disperse the entire Kaiyang city.
"Zhongde's plan may be effective, but it is not the best strategy to mobilize troops, waste time, and affect the stability of Xuzhou."
Cheng Yu naturally knew the key, but the current strategy was the best. He could not think of any other way to quickly find the thieves' wives and children and control them in the city, and cut off information exchange between them and the thieves.
"Military advisor, this is not the case, and that is not possible, so what should I do?"
"What good ideas does the military advisor have?"
Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Chen.
Only then did Zhao Chen say, "Have you ever heard of the Ten Schools of Card Techniques?"
Cheng Yu and Lu Xun didn't know why, while Zhang Fei and Chen Dao also shook their heads.
The Shijia Card Technique was created by Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally everyone does not know it.
Who is Wang Yangming?
With uprightness on both shoulders, a great man of a generation, with the talent to bring order out of chaos, and a strategy to save the world and bring peace to the people. I am very sorry that I will not reward you for your high achievements! In memory of the virtuous people, we renew our oath of alliance.
It’s Wang Yangming!
This man is a true Confucian general. He was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Emperor Xiaozong's reign in the Ming Dynasty. He served in the three dynasties of Emperor Xiaozong, Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Shizong. Since then, he has been the head of the Ministry of Punishment and has served as the postmaster of Guizhou Longchang, the magistrate of Luling, the censor of Youqiandu, the governor of Nangan, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He held the post of governor and other posts, and successively quelled the rebellions in southern Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi and the Chenhao rebellion. He was awarded the title of Xinjian Bo for his merits and became one of the three civil servants in the Ming Dynasty who were awarded titles for military merits.
The "unity of knowledge and action" proposed by Wang Yangming has been praised by the world to this day.
The Shijia Card Technique was founded by him in the twelfth year of Zhengde, when the bandits were suppressed in southern Jiangxi. The situation was very similar to the situation Zhao Chen faced today.
Once this move is used, the thieves will no longer dare to enter Kaiyang City.
The so-called ten-family card method means that every ten families have one card, and the ID, place of origin, and occupation of each family are marked on the card, and inspections are carried out in turn. If one family is hiding or collaborating with thieves, the other nine families will sit together. If there is any population change, it must be reported to the government, otherwise it will be deemed as a "black household".
Lu Xun carefully considered Zhao Chen's plan and asked, "Sir, how is this method different from the household registration catalog used by Mr. before when he accepted the refugees in Huaiyin?"
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Huaiyin accepts refugees so that they can stop moving and become Huaiyin city residents. Therefore, it only records the corresponding living area and the specific personnel situation in the corresponding area, and does not need to bear the responsibility of joint residence."
"The ten families' card spells focus on the punishment measures of ten families sitting together, so that the people can supervise each other. The people are afraid of being punished, so they naturally do their best to report others and dare not hide anything. In this way, what other ways can the thieves get? The protection of the people? The people will naturally stand on our side and fight with us against the bandits."
In fact, the people are also forced to have no choice. If they cannot defeat the bandits, they can only be at the mercy of the bandits. Who is willing to risk their lives to do this business.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he clapped his hands and applauded: "With this method, there is no need to be dispatched, but there are soldiers everywhere, no need to be gathered in villages, but every family is a soldier; no need to be stocked, but everyone is a soldier; no need to set up passes, but to defend the defense. Wonderful, it should be It’s wonderful.”
Cheng Yu couldn't help but admire Zhao Chen. Such a strategy would be unthinkable without any experience. Only through banditry and turmoil can neighbors kidnap each other.
At such a young age, Zhao Chen actually has such an understanding that is beyond ordinary people. He is truly a god.
Everyone acted according to the plan, and the entire Kaiyang City was organized. A sign was hung at the door of every house. The specific brand number, the number of people in the family, and related information were clearly written on the sign.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the city. Xi Zuo, who had unknown matters, still tried to contact the bandits outside the city, but was caught by Zhao Chen.
Zhang Fei and others suggested that Zhao Chen should not spare this person lightly, but should pull him out to show to the public and impose a heavy punishment to serve as a warning to others.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Chen will adopt your suggestions appropriately."
Zhang Fei asked: "Military advisor, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Chen pointed at the Ten Family Cards and said: "The purpose of this law is to balance unity and mutual supervision, and it inherently means heavy punishment. Now that this person is found to have committed the first offense, he can be shown to the public, but he cannot be punished again."
I saw Zhao Chen bringing this man to the Kaiyang City Wall, gathering all the people under the city, and announced immediately.
"This person is Wang Ji, the head of the fifth household in Pavilion 305. He voluntarily surrendered and confessed his relationship with the bandits and provided clues to the bandits. This made up for his mistakes. Therefore, we decided not to punish him. From today on, he can return to Pavilion 305 with peace of mind. No one else is allowed to do so. Use this as an excuse for blackmail.”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone behind Zhao Chen was surprised. He was obviously caught in contact with the bandits in private, but now Zhao Chen said that he voluntarily surrendered. The nature was completely different.
Only Cheng Yu secretly praised Zhao Chen. Now that he is here, the people of Kaiyang City will know that those who take the initiative to surrender and provide clues will not be punished, and those who hide robbers will be together. Someone makes a stupid choice.
Zhao Chen's army also has an additional source of information.
As expected, the people in the city were talking a lot.
Zhao Chen ordered them to disperse, and some personnel took the initiative to go to the county government to provide useful clues in order to atone for their crimes.
This provides good support for Zhao Chen's next step.
