For the operation of Yuzhou, Shen Zhezi has been planning for a long time, and he already has a lot of ideas in his heart. However, there are several people sitting in the table who are familiar with the situation in Yuzhou and have no lack of ability, so he listens carefully to the ideas of these people.
After introducing what he knew, Du He talked about his thoughts: "Although Yuzhou is governed by China and the DPRK, and has the virtues of his ancestors, it is not the same as in the past and present, and there are many obstacles if you want to cross the river to operate. The stone thieves are tyrannical and unkind, but they have coveted Yuzhou for a long time, especially several important towns such as Shouchun, Huainan, and Matou......
After the defeat of the Han Zhao Liu clan by Shile in the north, there was no opponent in the Central Plains, and the focus of the strategy was naturally placed on Yuzhou, the most important buffer zone between the rivers. In addition to the military pressure, the efforts to win over the local heroes and the people are not to be underestimated, and it is not blindly killing and plundering.
Even from Shen Zhezi's position, he has to admit that the Eastern Jin Dynasty Imperial Court is really an opponent who is willing to help the enemy, and it is really fun to be an enemy.
During the Northern Expedition, the ancestors allowed the mainstream of the dock to get close to each other, which was a pioneering feat in ancient times when the unification of famous religions was emphasized. He did not coerce or coerce the outcasts in the name of righteousness, giving them more room to mediate and allowing them to surrender to Shile on the surface.
To some extent, this is to use the same sense of identity to influence those dock owners. In the case of not having an advantage, do not chase the ethereal name. And when he grew up and had enough strength, these dock wall masters who had been looking at each other earlier embraced Zu Ti one after another, and many of them made great contributions to the restoration of Henan!
This is the true wisdom of doing things, unlike those rhetorical and delusional strategies.
Zu Yue's problem is that he can't recognize his position clearly, he takes himself too seriously, and thinks that he is the assassin of Yuzhou appointed by the imperial court, and he is the younger brother of Zu Yi, so he should have a unique authority in Yuzhou. He not only used these military forces in Yuzhou to coerce the center, but also was very harsh on his subordinates, contrary to the tolerant and restrained methods when his brother was alive. In this way, it is very unpopular.
In view of the situation in Yuzhou, the imperial court did not give corresponding guidance, but built Tutang and many fortifications on the line of Chaohu Lake and Chushui in the south of Hefei, isolating Yuzhou and aggravating the centrifugation of those dock wall owners in Yuzhou.
In addition to the ferocity of the troops, it is also closely related to the cooperation of those who lead the way in the dock wall. And the reason why those leading parties abandoned the imperial court in Jiangdong was not only due to personal integrity problems, but also related to the improper handling of the imperial court and the blatant rebellion of Zu Yue.
Most of Du He's ideas followed those of his ancestors, that is, to vigorously gather the displaced people, establish a stronghold in Tuntian, develop his own force to maintain the suppression of the forces around the Qianhu, and at the same time try to win over the local clans and dock forces, if necessary, regardless of previous suspicions. When he made this proposal, he won the approval of many people, after all, it was according to this line that the ancestors in his early years were able to make contributions.
What Du Jun said was indeed pertinent, but when the last general was in Liyang, he also had more contact with those Yuzhou soldiers. It is true that Zu Weide is not as good as his brother, and he is harsh and rude to his subordinates, which causes people's hearts to be opposed. But there are indeed some of them who are treacherous, have no loyalty, and are unpredictable among the enemy! ”
Lu Yong, who has rarely spoken out, said in the middle of the seat.
Shen Zhezi bowed his head slightly after hearing this, people often want to understand new concepts, and they are accustomed to regard people or things in a region as a whole, but this is actually a very wrong cognitive method. Especially in such an era of war, the situation is more complicated and people's minds are more unpredictable, so it is all the more necessary to treat them differently.
Du He's idea follows Zu Ti's idea, which can win over those local Wubi mainstream people in Yuzhou to the greatest extent, but if they can't be treated differently, they will select some people with despicable character, and they are very likely to be used as a tool to fight dissent and cut off opponents.
Of all the people here, Lu Yong's situation can be said to be the most bad. He himself is a general, and he first voted for Wang Dao and then Shen Zhezi, and some people in the capital have already denounced him as a slave with three surnames. So he needs a chance to prove himself, Shen Zhezi's intentions against Yuzhou are no secret, so Lu Yong also considered using this opportunity as a basis for his foothold.
"This Shouchun is the chaotic Chen Man and others, who have always harbored different ambitions, treacherous and cunning, and are by no means grateful for the weight of righteousness. The last general, please use the head of the headquarters to drive the enemy to the enemy, and kill Chen Man and others who colluded with the slaves to harm the thieves of my Jin Tu villagers! If the first evil is not eliminated, people's hearts are difficult to decide! ”
Lu Yong turned over and bowed in front of Shen Zhezi, and said in a sincere tone: "The last general will wear a sinful body, and it is impossible to understand if it is not a miracle, if you can get one or two heroes, what is the pity of this life!" The horse is very kind to me, but I can't repay it with this merit. I am willing to entrust my family to the horse, this trip is fruitless, and I vow not to return to the south! ”
He also thought about it for a long time before making this decision. And in order to eliminate Shen Zhezi's suspicions, he was willing to leave the family in the hands of Shen Zhezi as hostages.
Shen Zhezi got up and left the table to help Lu Yong up, and he also knew why Lu Yong had this choice. Indeed, compared with other people, how Lu Yong will arrange in the future is the most uncertain.
He smiled and sent Lu Yong back to his seat to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Those people who are rebellious and willing to fall into the world will not be tolerated by the world, and sooner or later they will be allowed to reap the consequences!" However, how can these people who are all good for a while be better than my Jiangdong brave generals, why should General Lu go in person. It's not a secret, the Yu Protector has already told me that he may go to Zhenxi Mansion in the future, and he still needs General Lu's strength. For now, please temporarily enter the military palace as a guard, and he will have his own appointment in the future! ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were slightly excited, especially Kuang Shu, who couldn't help but show joy. And Lu Yong himself, after being slightly stunned, already showed a strong look of gratitude on his face, and despite Shen Zhezi's obstruction, he got up and bowed down again: "Thank you for your trust, the end will not be disappointed!" ”
Shen Zhezi announced in public the arrangements for Lu Yong's coming day, but instead of being idle, he was allowed to return to Liyang again. This surprised everyone, but also made them more confident in their future. They asked themselves that the credit was much greater than that of Lu Yong, and even Lu Yong got such a good arrangement, so they would naturally be more reused!
For his current team, combined with their respective abilities and wishes, Shen Zhezi has indeed made his own plans. For example, Duhe crossed the river to the north, and he had already planned it. Ji You has served as Qu Aling for a few years, and he will return to the capital in the future to mix up his qualifications. As for Shen Mu, Shen Zhezi planned not to let him return to his hometown, but to stay in Jiankang and join the guard, as his family's direct military representative in Jiankang.
For the arrangement of many people, it still needs to be planned step by step, and it does not need to be announced all at once. After all, a plan is just a plan, and if it is actually implemented, it may be due to different circumstances or negotiation and compromise with other parties, and the final result may be contrary to the original intention. Therefore, after announcing Lu Yong's arrangements to stabilize people's hearts, Shen Zhezi's focus was still on the arrangement of Jiangbei.
"I have communicated with the Taibao, please Daohui temporarily serve as the commander of Chu County, and supervise Jianantang, I don't know if Hui is willing to go?"
Du He's current reputation is not counted, and this counterinsurgency is also quite meritorious, the only shortcoming is that his resume is slightly inferior, and he has only served as a subordinate of Zhongshu Peng in the DPRK so far. At present, the Shen family is in the spotlight again, and Shen Zhezi is not afraid of the matter and directly arranges Du He to a prominent position, although he only asks for a county official position from Wang Dao, but Shen Zhezi still has a scepter at the moment, and he also has the right to recommend and appoint, so he adds another supervisory position, and the right to lead the army in addition to the administration.
In many counties and counties in Jiangbei, the authority is already vague, and the authority depends on the military strength they have. In addition to the part of the guards who were going to be exiled to Jiangbei, Shen Zhezi also planned to raise more than 1,000 elite soldiers for Du He and allocate enough armaments, so that as long as Du He could gain a firm foothold in Jiangbei, his power would definitely not be limited by his position!
"I will live up to the trust of the horse!"
Duhe also had a plan for his whereabouts, and he knew that staying in Jiankang might not have any development prospects for him. Although it is dangerous to cross the river, it is a rare opportunity to have such a strong backer as Shen Zhezi or the Shen family behind him, and it may not be impossible to create a great cause like Zu Ti in the future!
Moreover, Chuxian County is located in the north of Jiankang, the place is adjacent to Chushui, Chushui is a very important tributary of the river, it flows into the river near Jiankang, known as the gateway of Jiangdong, Huainan Ping Domain, the geographical location is quite important. In the early years, in order to guard against the ancestral covenant of Yuzhou, Yu Liang built a series of Tutang Tun along the line of Chushui and Chuxian as the center.
Duch went north, and although his position was not high, he was in charge of the military and politics and had great autonomy. This is much better than staying in Jiangdong and serving as a high-ranking but non-powerful minister, and it is also more in line with the heart of a pragmatic person like Du He.
"Daohui went north, I have nothing to worry about. The imperial court has been operating Chushui for many years, and has already had a foundation, and Chuxian is close to Guangling, and the manpower and material resources of Jingkou can be directly supplied along the waterway, and Daohui can have no worries. ”
Shen Zhezi solemnly admonished: "It's just that there is one thing that Daohui needs to pay attention to, tonight is not the same situation, the stone thief has now usurped the situation, and he must be more vigilant about the movements along the river." I have sixteen words here to give Daohui, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase. Now the situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and there is no need to be self-reliant with the grandeur of the king, regardless of the gains and losses. As long as the king is not extinct in Jiangbei, it is the stalk bone in the throat of the slave, which makes it tired! ”
In view of the layout of Jiangbei, Shen Zhezi's thinking focuses on people, rather than fixed stations such as cities or dock walls. In this way, on the one hand, you can avoid the encirclement and suppression of the strong troops of the Qianghu to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, you can also get rid of the strong dependence on those dock owners in the past, strengthen yourself in the movement, and at the same time, you can also radiate the influence of Jiangbei to the greatest extent.
There is also a more important point, that is, this kind of sports warfare requires extremely high mobility. Jiangdong lacks cavalry, and training from scratch is not the most cost-effective way. Now that he has abandoned his fixed stronghold, Shen Zhezi wants to use the huge pressure of the Karma slave army, mainly based on those guards and sinners, to temper a powerful and highly dynamic team through battle!
Du He was also slightly stunned when he heard Shen Zhezi's instructions, this kind of tactical thinking is very different from the current situation, and the requirements for mobility and field combat capabilities are too high. Especially in the face of encirclement, suppression, pursuit, and long-term and high-intensity battle transfer, the morale and cohesion of the soldiers are also worth worrying. Many of the exiles did not form a climate, and it was in such frequent shifts and escapes that they collapsed and eventually died out.
Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi also predicted that he would not be able to do the extremely powerful propaganda work like the later generations for the time being. But this era also has the characteristics of this era, that is, the family soldiers with a strong personal dependence. Therefore, when preparing soldiers for Du He, in addition to the nearly 2,000 guards, there were more than 100 elite Longxi soldiers of his family. Next, he also had to open up the privilege to Duhe, so that Duhe could directly recruit those generals and captains with their own troops in his many armies.
Of course, this is only to satisfy the initial cohesion. In order to keep people's fighting spirit high, the first is to tell them that their efforts and battles are a noble and glorious mission, and the second is to ensure a generous standard of bereavement benefits. None of these things can be done overnight, and they need to be maintained for a long time.
Although it is only an idea at the moment, Shen Zhezi believes that if this army can be finally polished, it will become the most powerful army in this era, both in terms of organization and combat effectiveness!
