Chapter 339: The Central Plains
Lu Zhe had the intention of establishing a school similar to a military academy, but he couldn't do it at all, and the main reason was the lack of lecturers, and he couldn't do nothing and serve as a lecturer all the time, so he could only choose the time to find an opportunity to give lectures.
The generals listened to Lu Zhe's intention to talk again, although they didn't have any thoughts about some things similar to the "protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven", but they could not only hear some knowledge of using soldiers but also get close to their own masters, how could they not feel excited in their hearts?
Yan Bi over there muttered in his heart: "How can this be? Those who should be taught to their descendants, and those who are not to be taught by their sons-in-law cannot be taught......" was muttering but heard Lu Zhe calling his name, and quickly stood up.
"Tell you about the situation in the Central Plains." Lu Zhe said.
There are too many things happening in the Central Plains, Yan Bi needs to sort out his thoughts, he first saluted Lu Zhe, and then faced the general's side, and said: "Let's talk about Zhao first, since Wang Ben led a partial division to attack Taiyuan, after two months of Zhang Er and Wuchen led the army to defend Jinyang, Jinyang was declared lost, and Wang Ben's 100,000 Qin army captured Jinyang and was subject to the winter will stop for the winter. After Wang Ben captured Jinyang, Xu Yan's headquarters in Sanchuan County sent troops to Dangjun, and the Wei state in the Xindeng region was forced to flee to Chen County, and the Wei army was already adjacent to us after capturing Xincai. Xu Yan successively captured seven counties within a hundred miles of Yongqiu, and also gained a firm foothold in the southern part of Zhao State. β
Lu Zhe ordered the armor to move the wooden frame where the map of the mountains and rivers was hung, so that the generals who listened could have a comparison and a clearer understanding.
The envoys of the Zhao State, Tian Shu and Li Zuoche were in Nanling City, and this time they came to the Zhao State because of the attack on the Zhao State from the south by Xu Yan's headquarters.
Yan Bi saw that the armor soldier moved to the map, so he moved his position and walked over, he pointed to the location of Jinyang and pointed to the location of Yongqiu: "One north and one south, the north and the south are all enemies regardless of the head and tail." This is a typical posture of the deployment of troops in a large-scale encirclement and suppression. β
The generals nodded in understanding.
"According to some speculations, the Qin army is trying to advance from the north and the south, and if the Zhao army is defeated all the way, the Qin army in the south and the north will join forces in Handan in the coming year." Yan Bi is in charge of intelligence, but now there is no effective intelligence department in the Central Plains, so it is said that it is speculation rather than an informant.
Xiao He, who was sitting on the side, didn't understand it. I was talking about disarmament just now, but how did it suddenly turn into talking about the general trend of the world? He looked left and right, and found that he was the only one who seemed confused, and whether it was Kuaitong or the others, they seemed to feel a little accustomed to it?
"The state of Zhao was invaded by the Qin army and asked Qi Yan for help, but the two countries verbally promised but did not send a single soldier, which is also one of the reasons why the Qin army invaded the state of Zhao." Yan Bi's hand pointed to Liaodong: "Let's talk about Qi Yan, now Qi has seven counties, and Yan also has seven counties." After the two phases were reinstated, there was a scandal because of the ownership of Guangyang County. Both sides deployed large armies around Quang Duong. β
Note that Yan Bi used the word "invasion", which shows what attitude he has towards the Qin State.
Lu Zhe's brow furrowed when he heard the word "invasion", and he felt the need to find time to speak to Yan Bi, saying that expressing obvious hostility towards the Qin State was not in line with their current strategy.
Many people here knew that during their withdrawal from Huizhang County, they also discovered that 70,000 Qi troops were heading south, and some of them were muttering something "rat-eyed".
Xiao He really couldn't help it, he quietly pulled the hem of Kuaitong's clothes next to him, and asked in a low voice, "What is this doing?" β
Kuaitong was stunned for a moment before he reacted and explained: "The Lord specially arranged it." And it's not just this time. In the past, as long as there was a slight opportunity, the Lord would describe the general trend of the world to the generals, and its intention was to increase the knowledge of the generals, and also to cultivate the overall situation of the generals. β
Xiao He still wondered. It's naturally a good thing to train your subordinates, but some important things are not discussed, and it is appropriate to go so far off topic?
"Oh......" Kuaitong pulled an old long syllable. smiled: "Pay attention and see, are there some important characters who have not arrived?" β
"Huh?" Xiao He didn't know many people.
"The Fan clan, the Lu clan, the Jia clan, the Zheng clan, and some generals who will rush back tonight." Kuaitong reminded: "And Wu Rui and Huan Chu are also among those who are summoned." None of them have yet arrived. Just now, the lord knew about the reorganization of the army by his confidants and generals, so that everyone had a spectrum in their hearts, and it was not a real discussion. Wait for others to come over and the meeting will really begin. β
"Fan, Lu, Jia?" Xiao He still knew about these three local clans and gentry in Nanjun, but it was the first time that the Zheng family had heard of it, and he didn't know who it was.
"The Zheng clan, one of the two clans of the Yiling Rebellion, was the first to join in the First World War of Jiangling and made great contributions to the capture of Jiangling by the Lord. Zheng Jun is the patriarch of the Zheng clan, and now he is a 'reading governor', between diplomacy and local inspection, and mainly observes the affairs of immigrants in the north. Kuaitong whispered.
The natives of Nanjun have always been embarrassed in the forces of Lu Zhe, and the natives of Nanjun have not entered the core in this group, but there was an opportunity last time, that is, to preside over the major event of opening the mansion and building teeth, but unfortunately it was interrupted by the southward movement of the Qin army.
Lu Zhe now occupies the five counties, Nanjun is the best developed and the center of power, and it is not normal to not let the locals of Nanjun enter the inner circle, and something should happen after a long time.
This time for the reorganization of the army, Lu Zhe consciously wanted to promote some local generals in Nanjun, and at the same time, in the newly acquired Lujiang County, he also had to set aside a benefit to the Nanjun clan and gentry, so as to appease the Nanjun people who gradually had opinions.
Xiao He really didn't know that Lu Zhe started in Nanjun, and no one in Nanjun entered the core. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood that it was time to accept some natives from Nanjun into the core, and only Lu Zhe's rule in Nanjun could be regarded as truly stable.
"The arrangements for Wu Rui and Huan Chu will also be decided in tonight's meeting. The main meaning is to hand over the reorganization of the previous leased troops to the two people, and not let them interfere in civil affairs. Kuaitong felt that it would be made clear at night anyway, and it was nothing to tell Xiao He now, so he continued: "Huan Chu will be appointed as a partial general, and Wu Rui will be appointed as a general." β
Xiao He didn't understand military affairs, but he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to do so, after all, one of the two repeatedly asked for help but did not get reinforcements, so they lost Changsha, and although the other did not lose the territory, Lu Zhe obviously wanted to eat it, so that if the two of them rebelled with dissatisfaction?
Kuai informed Xiao He what he would think, and said with a smile: "The positions in our army are different from other places. β
Xiao He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Stay, why not take care of civil affairs, it's better to continue to understand military affairs." β
"Huh." Kuai Tong smiled and thought deeply, since he is a civil officer, he should take care of civil affairs, you must know that Lu Zhe attaches great importance to military power, and it is best not to pay attention to military affairs if it is not related to functions.
ββ¦β¦ Qi did not experience the flames of war in the battle of reunification, and the agricultural work and fortifications in various places were not destroyed. After the restoration of the Tian family, they reoccupied the land of Qi, and developed rapidly in just half a year, and it is foreseeable that among the countries of Shandong, the situation of Qi will be strong in the future. Yan Bi's hand pointed at Huiji County again: "I believe everyone knows a piece of news, the 70,000 troops of Qi going south were originally invited by Xiang Liang to come to attack us, but after General Qi learned of our victory, he pointed the finger at Huiji County." It is rumored that the Qi soldiers forced the Chu State to ask the King of Chu to cede Surabaya County to the Qi State. If Qi gets Surabaya County, it will be bordering us. β
A burst of laughter suddenly broke out, they were laughing at the Chu State for lifting a stone and hitting themselves in the foot, and they were also laughing at the Qi State It was really not interesting enough, they actually betrayed the alliance and wanted to seize the Surabaya County of the Chu State, and it was really funny enough for the allies to be on this.
"According to the revelations of the Han envoy and the Wei envoy, the state of Chu divided the county of Surabaya and borrowed seven counties of Wei and four counties of Korea. There is also news that the state of Chu will lend the remaining counties to the state of Zhao. Obviously, the State of Chu is trying to pull Han Wei Zhao to threaten the State of Qi, but ......" Yan Bi couldn't help laughing: "The Han soldiers are not more than 10,000, and the remnants of the Wei army are less than 20,000, Zhao was beaten by the Qin army for a while, Xiang Liang thought about things very well, and wanted to use the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Zhao as chess pieces, but unfortunately, these chess pieces are either too weak or too busy to take care of themselves, and it seems that they are going to be disappointed." β
There was another burst of laughter, and I don't know who shouted loudly: "It's better to cede Surabaya County to us, only we can deter the Qi army." β
Lu Zhewan, he didn't reprimand out loud, the martial generals are so consecutive victories that make them full of confidence in themselves, which is a good phenomenon.
"Don't say it, Xiang Liang is really likely to do this." Yan Bi glanced at Lu Zhe, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth, in fact, he hoped that Lu Zhe could take the opportunity to swallow Surabaya County and prepare in advance for the future invasion of the Central Plains. However, he also knew that Lu Zhe was determined to stop the war for a period of time, and it was absolutely impossible to expand at this time. In addition, he also knows that it is not advisable for people's livelihood to be developed and expanded, and he is in favor of resting and recuperating.
"I heard that Xiang Liang entrusted the Han envoy and the Wei envoy to sue for peace, is this matter true?" Zhou Dare roared.
"It's true." Yan Bi raised his head slightly: "This time, the Chu State was scared by us, so naturally they wanted to come to sue for peace." β
Zhou Dang looked at Lu Zhe, saluted and asked, "Lord, will you accept Chu's request for peace?" β
Lu Zhe was also thinking about this matter, he didn't beat the state of Chu weak to let the state of Qi come to pick peaches, so whether to accept the suture of the state of Chu or not, and what conditions should be used as a condition for lifting the state of war, these need to be carefully considered.
Zhou dared to see that his master didn't answer and didn't dare to ask more, "hey, hey, hey" sat down with a smile.
"The Lord should accept the peace of the Chu State." Kuaitong whispered to Xiao He: "There are soldiers who use iron armor and iron soldiers on the side of the Chu State, and the lord hopes to get the iron-making technology of the Chu State. β
"Huh?" Xiao He has received instructions related to iron ore mining, "The lord wants to open two more Yuecheng on the Jiangling side, and the Cangwu side will also drive the prisoners of war over, saying that they want to develop the minerals there." β
Kuaitong felt that there should be no problem in letting Chu Guo hand over the iron-making technology, but it was not clear what other conditions Lu Zhe would have. (To be continued......)
