Li Ru is of course very capable, and Dong Zhuo owes a lot to his success. He killed the young emperor and the Queen Mother He, formed a good party to stabilize the situation, and moved west to Chang'an to avoid the influence of the princes. Wang Yun launched a series of schemes, Li Ruyan said that Diao Chan and Lu Bu would be sent away, but Dong Zhuo did not do it. If you agree, you may not die so early.
To say that he saw through the serial scheme is not necessarily true. But he knew how important Lu Bu was, and Diao Chan was just a beautiful woman. It was self-evident which one was more important. What's more, he also knew that Diao Chan was given by Wang Yun. He was on guard, so he gave advice and suggestions, but Dong Zhuo didn't accept them and he didn't take any action.
So now he understood the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words very clearly.
This was something he had already thought of during the two hundred and fifty miles journey, so now he spoke directly without hesitation.
"Xiang Guo, Zhang Yang must pretend to be in agreement, but we can't sit idly by. If the king's thieves take Yanmen, Chang's safety will be in danger. If they take Bingzhou and go to the east of the river, they will advance the three auxiliary troops with one drum. Their soldiers are good at fighting, and they also have generals leading the army. King Kuang Yan's military bravery is even greater than that of Lu Bu. If he personally leads a large army to attack, Chang'an will definitely be unstoppable. However, our situation is not stable. Chang'an must have a large army to suppress it to prevent chaos, and there is no way to stop Wang Yan."
After talking about the seriousness of the problem, and looking at Dong Zhuo's impatient look, Li Ru talked about the solution, "There is Zhang Yang in Hanoi, and Yanmen is empty. The Prime Minister can order Zhang Yang to defend Yanmen Pass to prevent Wang Yan from taking advantage of the opportunity. At the same time, It can also contain Wang Yan, forcing him to divide his troops for defense and not dare to attack Bingzhou with all his strength.
In terms of Bingzhou, the Prime Minister can issue an edict to Liangzhou, favor Ma Teng and Han Sui, and have them send troops to fight against Wang Yan. In this way, the four families are fighting and destroying each other's strength. The Prime Minister will send another 20,000 troops to drive the Baibo bandits north. I will stand firm and watch the tigers fight, looking for opportunities to reap profits. "
Zhang Yang was in Hanoi. Only by giving up the defense of Yanmen Pass could Zhang Yang send troops as bodyguards. If they send troops to defend Yanmen Pass, then Zhang Yang relies on Hu Pass to defend himself, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Yang. But now that Yanmen Pass is released, Zhang Yang can be given a bigger place. Zhang Yang will definitely not give up this kind of expansion, and as he grows stronger, he will inevitably have rifts with Yuan Shao.
The reason why Zhang Yang urgently sent a letter to take refuge was because holding Huguan was not enough. If Wang Yan occupied Yanmen, marched into Sili, bypassed Chang'an and attacked Hanoi, he would be in danger. Even if he recognized Yuan Shao as his eldest brother, there was still Wang Yan in the north. If Yuan Shao dared to divide his troops, Wang Yan would dare to go south, so Zhang Yang had no choice at all.
Wang Yan's plan to merge the state is not only related to Bingzhou and one place, but to draw a big circle around the Taihang Mountains. The people in this circle are all in it, and it affects the whole body.
Their attack on Wang Yan was uncertain, but they were still sure of Zhang Yang.
Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and laughed loudly: "According to the plan of the wise son-in-law, I ordered Hu Zhen to lead 20,000 troops and break camp in the spring. I will leave it to you to issue the edict and increase the favor. Issue the edict as soon as possible. Time does not wait. I, Wang Yan, have a strong army and am afraid something will happen."
"yes."
"Go ahead. I'm very fond of Ai Ji recently. Please don't disturb me unless it's important."
"Yes, Prime Minister, Ru is retiring." Li Ru bowed his hands and respectfully stepped down. Without stopping at Xiwu, he set off for Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo rubbed his waist impatiently. It turned out that it was because Wang Yun offered Diao Chan and played songs night and night recently. The prime minister had become too old to live up to the time when he was a knight. Out of frustration, he casually chopped down the refugees who were working hard to light the fire...
What Li Ru and Dong Zhuo discussed was not beyond Wang Yan's expectations. This is a condition for full utilization. If you have enough wisdom and want to understand the difference between ourselves and the enemy, you will naturally make this response. For the Three Kingdoms, which has many capable people, this is a necessity.
As for Yuan Shao in Jizhou, needless to say, once he discovers that Youzhou is empty, he will definitely go north. Therefore, this also affected Wang Yan's military strength, making him afraid to attack Jizhou wholeheartedly with heavy troops. Zhang Yang, Ma Teng, Han Sui, plus a Baibo army are not ordinary people. Although they cannot raise a large army due to distance restrictions, their combined troops are more than 100,000. Even if Zhang, Ma, Han, and Baibo are within four directions Fighting may not be all-out, but it is still enough to restrain Wang Yan.
What's more, they sent 20,000 troops and horses. If Wang Yan was negligent, Dong Zhuo might have taken advantage. In this way, the situation in Bingzhou became predictably troublesome.
However, one thing worth noting is that whether it is Dong Zhuo or Li Ru, they all call him "Wang Yan" instead of "king thief". General Wang doesn't know this. If he knew, he would be a little relieved.
Dong Zhuo is a recognized rebel. There is nothing to look down on him as a recognized rebel, and he is even more embarrassed to call him a 'king thief'. Even speaking of it, perhaps Dong Zhuo still envied Wang Yan.
After all, Wang Yan is in the north, he is a real earth emperor. They were merciless in killing wealthy families, and Fan Yanglu killed more than half of them. The Fan Yanglu family was the luckiest. Others, such as the royal family Liu family, although in decline, were still members of the royal family. There were many evildoers. Liu Bei's group killed half of them, and there were almost only a few others left. The Zu family of Qiuxian County, the Li family of Fanyang and other random powerful people were all slaughtered.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to kill an entire family, he must have the courage. After all, he had killed most of the Yuan family he relied on. He also killed many other powerful families. If he didn't kill them, how would he have money and food to feed his troops? But if he wanted to kill like Wang Yan, he wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave him eight courages. Otherwise, why would he have the intention to keep Liu Xie? He would just kill them all if he had nothing to do with arguing with a bunch of courtiers.
Fan Yanglu's family is Lu Zhi's family. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were five surnames, Qiwang, and Fan Yangluzhan's family.
Lu Zhi had previously opposed Dong Zhuo's abolition, but had he not been interceded by the ministers, he would have been executed in court. Later, when he was running away, Dong Zhuo secretly sent people to hunt him down. When Lu Zhi returned to Youzhou, Liu Yu was still in power, and he went to ancient times to hide. Later, when Wang Yan went south and sent troops to Youzhou, he went to Jixian to advise Liu Yu.
However, Youzhou's civil and military affairs were too weak, and the army's fighting spirit was not high. They had made many plans before, and they were surrendered by Wang Yan before even a decent battle was fought. Lu Zhi's health was not very good. He died a year early because he worked too hard in Youzhou. When Wang Yan left, Lu Zhi was taken back to Fan Yang by the Lu family for burial.
Of course their family also has a lot of fields, and of course there are many people who do evil. Lu Zhi died, but was buried in a thin earthen cave, with no coffin and only a single suit of clothes. By the time of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he was even entitled to enjoy the Confucius Temple.
His high moral standards do not mean that all the children in his family are high. On the other hand, Dong Zhuo secretly stole the imperial mausoleum. This matter was widely spread. Maybe Lao Cao's role model was Dong Zhuo, and tomb robbing has long been known among the people. Lu Zhi may not have had this idea.
Of course, this is a real malicious speculation. Maybe Lu Zhi understands it.
No matter how you say it, everyone is dead and Wang Yan has not been seen. He had no special instructions on how to deal with Lu, and he just handled it as normal. Based on the reputation of the local people, tenants, and domestic slaves, those who have problems will be forced to work and die of cold and hunger in a year. Those with minor problems will be allowed to work and rest, and they will be guaranteed to live for a few years. Those who have no problems will be moved directly and the land will be redistributed. Farming the land honestly and then serving as a teacher for senior students in the school should not let their grievances affect the seedlings, but also should not let the learned people go to waste.
A closer look shows that although General Wang did not lead many battles, under his command, tens of thousands of wealthy families, wealthy households, and landowners were killed by him in You and Liao alone. Not to mention Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu, and Goguryeo, they were killing and cannibalizing at the same time. In one general, ten thousand bones were withered, and the king's foundation was withered by more than ten thousand bones...
The world never changes according to human will. Cao Cao remained as before, defeating the Black Mountain Army, gathering many remaining soldiers to strengthen himself, and at the same time secretly digging graves. Because he never had a quarrel with Yuan Shao, and he sent letters to contact him after he gained Jizhou, Yuan Shao represented him as the governor of Dongjun, and he had a territory of his own.
Liu Bei, who did not go to Gongsun Zan to serve as Prime Minister of Pingyuan according to the original history, attached to Xuzhou Tao Qian, and the changed direction will definitely not be reversed. Gongsun Zan's bones have now been preliminarily covered with porcelain, and it is too late to say anything.
Liu Bei was more valued by Tao Qian. Previously, when the princes challenged Dong, he also saw the abilities of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. He also contacted Liu Bei, watched and listened to his words, and believed that Liu Bei was a hero in the world and must do great things.
But now is not the time for Tao Qian to flatter him and invite Lao Cao to attack him. Although his body is weak, it is not at a disadvantage yet, so he only appreciates and relies on him, and has not sent Xuzhou away yet.
Although Liu Bei was confused, he didn't know where to go or how to start a business. But he was very happy about Tao Qian's trust, so he worked more carefully for Tao Qian. The three brothers together led 3,000 soldiers and horses. In just a few months, they swept Xuzhou and wiped out some large-scale rebel forces. He also recruited 5,000 troops and stationed them in Xiaopei, leading the troops to train for two hours every day.
Tao Qian was responsible for part of the food loss. After all, Liu Bei was now his subordinate, and those soldiers and horses were also his soldiers. In addition, Liu Bei swept Xuzhou, which prospered Xuzhou to a certain extent, so he didn't care if he gave him some food and grass. The other part was provided by Mi Zhu and several other Xuzhou families.
Tao Qian is in poor health, his descendants are unable to take on major responsibilities and control the overall situation, Liu Bei is capable of literary and military skills, and now Xuzhou's wealthy families have begun to place their bets. Just wait until Tao Qian is gone and a new boss comes up to deal with today's chaotic world.
At this time, the king's thieves occupied You, Liao, and Grassland, Yuan Shao captured Jizhou, Yuan Shu dominated Huainan, etc., etc., etc., they are all operating their own territories and have begun to fight. No matter how stupid you are, you understand the situation.
So the wealthy families began to invest, just like the wealthy families in Yanzhou welcomed Cao Cao, and the wealthy families in Jiangdong welcomed Sun Ce. It was the same reason. They had to find someone to take the lead.
The Mi family was a well-known wealthy family in Xuzhou. Mi Zhu fell in love with Liu Bei, and with his help in liaison and financing, Liu Bei got up quickly.
Liu Bei had not thought about the problem of wealthy families in detail before. Of course, he was not naive enough to think that the old Liu family was the boss, and everyone would listen to everything he said. It was really the king's land in the world. It's just that when he was there, he didn't look at the big man or the wealthy family very seriously.
Having experienced Liaodong, he understood General Wang's attitude towards the wealthy families, and after hearing General Wang's various words of killing a thousand swords, he also had opinions on the wealthy families. Especially after he walked around Xuzhou and got to know each family's behavior in depth, he finally understood why Wang Yan was so cruel and why he wanted to kill them all, because they were really a scourge.
Of course, many families are now investing in him, and he feels very happy, with the pleasure of taking off from the ground. This feeling once made him a little lost. This overwhelming wealth has finally reached our head.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s quite uncomfortable. Because the rich are like poison wrapped in icing sugar. While enjoying its benefits, they will naturally have to bear the side effects. He had nothing now, and he didn't want to rebel against General Wang's men. He had no place to stand, so he could only rely on the support of these people to gain a foothold. If it develops, these people will definitely control every position under his command, and they will be as difficult to eradicate as maggots on the tarsus.
Since the Qin Dynasty, all ambitious emperors have done only two things. Externally, we attacked foreigners, and internally we suppressed powerful men, powerful families, scholar-bureaucrats, and landlords. If both of these things achieve results, you will be a wise king. If one thing achieves results, you will be the master of ZTE.
Because as long as you do one of these two things well, you can relieve stress, expand your living space, and ease conflicts. However, when doing these two things, it is the people who suffer. War requires military expenditures, landowners must encourage the people to resist, and wars must cause internal disasters. It is not easy no matter what.
Liu Bei was secretly vigilant. He was consciously imitating General Wang. Apart from fighting with troops, he did everything he could without showing his face...
At this time, Sun Ce, another leader of the Three Kingdoms, had just died. Sun Jian attacked Liu Biao, but was shot to death by Huang Zu's random arrows. Sun Ce inherited Sun Jian's old army and continued to work as a thug for Yuan Shu.
From this point of view, Liu Bei is much better than Sun Ce. After all, he is dependent, Sun Ce is purely working, and Sun Jian is dependent...
In March, Youzhou has already thawed. Although it is still cold in late spring, it can no longer stop the arrival of spring.
On this day, the General's Mansion in Jixian County was lively again, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The people in the General's Mansion are very skilled, but there is nothing we can do about it. The General has many wives, so there must be one or two every year.
Lao Cai, who lives in Wenchang Pavilion in Liaodong, rarely comes to Jixian. Although Wenchang Pavilion is being built here, it is still larger, has more functions, and is more magnificent than the one in Liaodong. He has seen the design drawings and heard from the person responsible for the construction. I haven't even seen the scholar's explanation once.
In the general's mansion, I saw the smiling General Wang. His nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. He looked like he was blowing his beard and staring.
Because today is his daughter's entry into the house, it's strange to be happy. There was also someone who was not worried about him, her little daughter Cai Li who she had sent to her door. Although they are two years apart, they are raised in the General's Mansion and taken care of by Cai Yan.
Wang Yan didn't care about Lao Cai's blowing his beard and staring, he smiled shamelessly and said, "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." He was still angry.
Lao Cai became even more angry, snorted coldly, turned around and entered the mansion without even looking at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan laughed, looked at the woman in a wedding dress with her head covered, and rubbed Cai Li's head: "Take your sister to the back house."
At this time, Cai Li no longer had the same energy as before, or in other words, she still had it. She just understood what it means to be a man and a woman, and was very embarrassed to see Wang Yan. When Wang Yan touched his head, he immediately blushed and became slightly blessed. He quickly pulled his sister and followed Zhen Dao, who came to greet people, to the back house.
Today, he married a new wife, the famous Cai Yan. General Wang has seen countless women, and of course he is not very happy, but after all, she is Lao Cai's girl. The existence of Lao Cai has been of great help. Today, the cultural prosperity under his rule has Lao Cai. Tsai deserves a lot of the credit. He also forcibly married two daughters, so he had to set up two tables to take care of everything. By the way, I will teach you again and unify my thoughts.
You should pay special attention to this area. Don't be afraid of saying old things over and over again, just be afraid of not mentioning them.
As usual, the general gave a speech, and then there were the popular and spicy drinks, which were all very delicious. When it comes to chefs in You and Liao, the best one is the fat cook in the General's Mansion. Moreover, the General has a new wife, so she is a hard food. None of the people who came here, ranging from high-ranking officials to low-level officials who performed well, as well as soldiers and craftsmen, had ever had such a good meal.
General Wang does big things by starting from the top, not to mention various high-ranking officials, grassroots officials, soldiers, and craftsmen. This should be noted. When he marries a wife or holds a year-end banquet, these people must be chosen to take the lead. effect. The general personally received them and toasted them, and when they returned, the effect would definitely be full.
Therefore, many people hope that the general will marry more wives. This is definitely the most heartfelt blessing.
After dinner and team building, just when Wang Yan was about to leave, Guo Jia stopped him.
Facing Wang Yan's probing eyes, Guo Jia said: "General, the city has been conquered this winter. Now the ice has melted and the snow has melted, and spring is coming. Dong Zhuo and others will definitely respond. I predict that Dong Zhuo will not send many troops, and he pretends to send an imperial edict to Xiliang. Send Han Sui and Ma Teng to attack.
In the past two years, Yuan Jian went to the grassland for another 800 miles, but only a thousand miles later he reached Liangzhou. Therefore, Jia thinks that if Han and Ma come to Chun and they really raise their troops to attack me, they may be able to send Yuan Jian to lead the cavalry camp to attack thousands of miles, seize his nest and cut off his return route. In such a pincer attack from east to west, Han and Ma can defeat him in a single battle. , the two states of Bing and Liang can be established. "
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "You can run thousands of miles to harass their nests, kill the wealthy clans, seize their wealth and food, and force them to return to the army, but you can't seize their nests. Without me, I can't conquer the world on horseback, because there is really not enough food and grass. After a battle, Liang will be defeated. Who will govern the two states? If we don’t kill the powerful families, how can we survive? Why do the people work hard? Why do the soldiers fight hard?"
Guo Jia is still young, so he is a little out of touch when he is released. Just thinking about conquering the world ignores many things. Did he, General Wang, not want to decide the country early? Who wants to go slow if he can go fast? How sick does he have to be before he wants to take people's lives, raise a group of rivals, and then torture them one by one?
After hearing the general's words, Guo Jia sighed: "It's just Jia's impatience that made him miscalculate."
"Xu Tufang is the best policy, but if you make steady progress, the world will win."
Wang Yan smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned and entered the back house.
Cai Yan lived a very happy life in Liaodong in the past few years. He spent all day reading or playing the piano and practicing calligraphy. When he got older, he was even assigned to be a teacher and taught in a school. He lived a fulfilling life every day. In the past seven years, she had watched Wang Yan develop Liaodong into a powerful and prosperous country. She had already been fascinated by this man who was eight years older than him. She longed to see the day when the general became successful.
She heard the sound of the door opening, the voice telling the little maid to go out, the sound of approaching footsteps, and then, the hijab was lifted, and she met those deep eyes.
The so-called transformation of women, Lao Cai has her own characteristics, but Cai Yan is really cool, and her career has become more and more impressive in recent years. Wang Yan said that she is very smooth...
I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly for their support.
Thank you to all the brothers who recommended me for your support,
Thanks to the big brothers who read silently for their support.
