Chapter 660: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (9)
In the rear, the officials on Liu Bei's side have been stationed in Taishan County, Jibeiguo and other places.
As the territory gets bigger and bigger, Liu Bei's governance resistance is also increasing. At the beginning, it was only a corner of Qingzhou, and Qingzhou was wreaked havoc by the Yellow Turban, leaving only a mess, so Liu Bei was able to let go of Qingzhou in a big way.
With the gradual recovery of the localities, the local situation has gradually stabilized. The local tycoons are also gradually beginning to emerge. At the same time, the scholar class in Liu Bei's group also began to speak out to express their interests.
In this small-scale peasant society, the scholars were not only interested in pursuing their own political ambitions, but also in the continuation and growth of their families. So, how do you keep your family going strong? Land, only land, can allow the family to quickly amass a huge amount of wealth!
Especially after the imperial court came to Qingzhou, Liu Bei was no longer the only voice in Qingzhou. Maybe Liu Bei is still the one who speaks his word in all major matters. But in many small things, Liu Bei no longer has the energy to take care of them. So, the bureaucrats of the imperial court began to act.
Qing, Xu, and Youzhou are either Liu Bei's basic plates, or they are too barren, so the situation is not bad. But after Yuan Shao was destroyed and Guanzhong was recovered, the situation was very different.
Jizhou and Sili used to be so rich, after the chaos, the court ate meat, and naturally some people wanted to drink soup. So openly and secretly, countless hands stretched out to various places.
Liu Bei knew this. But because he has been fighting for many years, he can't come up with a good way to deal with these people for a while. So I pressed it down for the time being.
The road in the future, how to go, Liu Bei thought about it before. But this time, that time. The situation is constantly changing, and there are more and more people who follow him, or follow the banner of the imperial court. And these people have their own interests, how to balance, how to restrain them, and then work together in one place, this is what Liu Bei needs to consider.
Instead of having more people, people's hearts are scattered. If this is the case, no matter how great the force is, it will not be able to avoid the fate of collapse.
The powerful occupy economic, political, and cultural advantages and are part of the ruling class. But they have repeatedly occupied vast fields and hidden people, which is a great danger to any regime. If you indulge the powerful, it is equivalent to reducing your own taxes and military resources.
In Liu Bei's view, the vast number of yeoman farmers are the cornerstone of his rule. If the number of yeoman farmers is greatly reduced, the household registration, land, and tax sources will be relatively small.
However, the scholar group must not be attacked too much, otherwise it will lose the popularity of the world, and the foundation of this rule will not be stable. The heroes are basically scholars, and they all control the local cultural and public opinion rights in all parts of the world. Liu Bei is in his own territory, and he can basically have the final say. But whenever a decree was issued, he had to send secret envoys to inspect various places to prevent lawlessness. Violence is not the only way to solve problems. makes the body disappear, and can't scare the latecomers who come forward and succeed. Coaxing while fighting, this is the king's way. It's just that it's all up to Liu Bei to control it.
Therefore, Liu Bei began to consciously set up a academy early on, cultivating scholars from poor families in the academy, and a good place to go out in the future. It's a pity that Yang Biao was later stirred up.
But fortunately, it is not completely useless, there are always some scholars who can stand out from the academy. Liu Bei sent these people to the place. I hope they can grow up in the future and surprise themselves.
Taishan County is such a testing ground. After all, it is a newly attached land, and it is the most capable of political achievements and the most tolerant of making mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes, just start over.
While the counties of Taishan County ushered in their new chiefs, Xiahou Yuan went north.
At the same time, Tai Shici received the report and also led his troops south, bypassing Rencheng and arming the country.
At the same time, Yangzhou soldiers and horses are also ready to move.
Gan Ning led the sailors to block the river on the first line of Guangling. In Ganning's words, if a bird is going to fly over, he can shoot it down.
Because Jiujiang fell into the hands of Yangzhou, Jiujiang and Yuzhou have actually become one. Guan Yu wanted to deal with Xiahou Yuan. But I also have to consider the pressure on Yangzhou's side.
Zhou Yu had already led a large army and entered Peiguo. It is clear that Guan Yu wants to copy Xiahou Yuan's back road. Then I'll go north to help them.
He didn't want to fight Xuzhou, and entangled with Xuzhou would only make Cao Jun breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Ping didn't care about Zhou Yu's thoughts, after Xiahou Yuan sent troops, he brazenly marched into Xiao County, and then surrounded it. With his own actions, he announced a fact to Cao Jun and Yangzhou soldiers. I'm going to send troops, and if you don't accept it, come and beat me.
Jiang Qin was under the command of Zhou Yu, and when he heard that Wenpin had sent troops, he asked to see Zhou Yu and said: "General, now that Wenpin has besieged Xiao County, why don't our troops go there to relieve the siege of Xiao County?" ”
Zhou Yu said: "It's okay, Xiao County is a strong city, and it can't be broken in a hurry." If a messenger comes, I will help him. If not, wait and see. ”
Zhou Yu didn't want to go up to save Xiao County at all, in fact, he was bluffing and showing an attitude to Cao Jun and Xuzhou. But he couldn't bluff Wenpin, and Zhou Yu didn't want his soldiers to shed blood and sweat for Cao Cao.
When Jiang Qin heard this, he was stunned. Xiao County was surrounded, and Peiguo was cut off by the waist. If Cao Jun wants to transport grain north, who would dare to take the line of Xiao County? In this way, how could Xiahou Yuan not be in a hurry.
What Jiang Qin can think of, Zhou Yu can naturally think of. But he didn't care. Yuzhou is so big, if Xiahou Yuan wants to transport grain, he has to go to Peiguo. It's okay to go to Liang Country. As for the time will be extended, Xiahou Yuan will not starve to death in a slower time. Yan and Yu were still in the hands of Cao Jun, and Zhou Yu did not believe that Xiahou Yuan would be short of food in his hands.
Zhou Yu was stationed in Long Kang, motionless.
He had already analyzed it with Sun Ce. It is very difficult for Yanzhou and Yuzhou to stop Liu Bei's footsteps. Looking at Yanzhou's response a while ago, it was purely just to delay the footsteps of the Han army. So why did Cao Jun do this?
There is only one answer, that is, to smoothly let Cao Cao capture Yizhou. Cao Cao's capture of Yizhou, did it do Yangzhou any good? Cao Cao Xiongjie, who has gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, will he not want to do the whole of Jingzhou?
In the eyes of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, it is better to stay in Yanzhou than Cao Cao, and lead the army to fight Liu Bei desperately, not giving up an inch of land. Then taking this opportunity, they went all the way west from Yangzhou, first taking Jingzhou and then Xichuan. Wait for the dust to settle in the north. They also dominated the South. At that time, the world will develop slowly, each by means.
Cao Cao came in such a mess and disrupted the overall deployment of Yangzhou.
If Cao Cao is as he wishes, what else will happen to Yangzhou in this battle for domination of the world?
