Yin Li understands the truth in this, but Wu Dun, who has a tendon, will not think so much and so far. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 If he explained it to him, maybe he would make some trouble, and he would have to be depressed.

Yin Li Zhengse said: "People respect me a foot, I respect people, the general treats our brother politely, that is his graceful bearing, but you and I can't accept it calmly, otherwise it will only make people see jokes, you need to know ......"

Wu Dun shook his head and hurriedly said: "Well, well, the big husband acts, the grievances are clear, and if he has kindness, he will repay it in the future, but he can't get an inch, right?" ā€

Ignoring Yin Li's crying and laughing expression, Wu Dun stretched his waist, pushed his hands to the back of his head, and said: "Forget it, I won't talk to you, and I won't fight seriously left and right, I'll go to the general to drink, the place in Hebei is good, and the new wine brewed tastes very ......mellow."

I don't know if I remembered the taste of the wine, Wu Dun's feet were fast, and without waiting for Yin Li to stop him, the figure disappeared after three turns and two turns, thanks to his big man, his movements were so agile.

………………

The fine wine that Wu Dun mentioned was naturally the wine that the Li Chamber of Commerce had been selling in the Han Dynasty for nearly twenty years. But this wine was almost aimed at the upper class, and Wu Dun naturally couldn't drink it before he started the army. Later, he had some of his own forces, but because of the war, the Li Chamber of Commerce almost stopped its sales business south of the Yellow River, and he was not blessed. This time with Li Yijun, it was the first time to taste this famous wine in the Han Dynasty.

The liquor of the Li Chamber of Commerce is made by the distillation method of later generations, and the benefits of this liquor are needless to say, it is full of strength, strong flavor, and can also be used as a disinfectant for battlefield first aid, and it can also cause fatal damage to senior drunkards like Wu Dun.

"Good wine, really good wine!" Wu Dun drank a glass of wine and praised it, and the big eyes of the copper bell narrowed into a line, like a big drunken cat.

Li Yi said with a smile: "It's good that General Wu likes it, there are more wounded soldiers in this battle, and most of them are used, and when he comes back to brew new wine, the younger brother will let people send more over, and General Wu must be addicted to drinking." ā€

After drinking for a while, Wu Dun really couldn't help it, and asked Li Yi: "General, what are your plans to besiege here without attacking?" ā€

"Well...... Li Yi slowly put down his wine glass and said with a light smile, "Of course, there is some thought in it, since General Wu asked, I can't hide it, so I will ask General Wu for advice." ā€

Wu Dun said: "Just say it, I listen to it!" ā€

Li Yi asked: "General Wu, let me ask you, since the spring, we and Cao Cao have fought several battles, dozens of small battles, what is the matter?" ā€

"What else?" Wu Dun rolled his eyes and shouted without thinking, "Cao Cao is shameless, first united with Gongsun Zan and others to set up another imperial court, conspired to usurp the rebellion, and then sent troops to Hebei, causing huge losses to the Han Dynasty, we, the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, naturally want to clean him up and clean him up!" ā€

The righteousness he said was awe-inspiring, Li Yi snickered in his belly, this guy seems to be rude, but he is not really heartless, otherwise he should say at this time: It is right to grab money, grain, and land.

"General Wu is right." Li Yi nodded, and asked again, "Then in General Wu's opinion, how can it be regarded as having cleaned up Cao Cao ruthlessly?" ā€

"Of course it'......" Wu Dunzheng picked up the wine bottle to drink, and subconsciously wanted to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, his heart suddenly moved. Li Yi's question seems simple and easy to answer, but if you think about it carefully, it is not like that at all.

Grabbing money and grain is easy to understand, and loading things into your own warehouse is even if you grab it, but this land grabbing is very knowledgeable. How can you grab a piece of land? Wu Dun really didn't have any concept of this, there was no way, so far, he and Yin Li and the others had never had such valuable resources, how could they have practical experience.

"Well, tell me, general, what kind of battle did we fight, and we won it completely?" Wu Dun has always disliked complicated thinking, and he simply threw the question back to Li Yi, the questioner.

"If you win completely, then you can only kill Cao Cao. Or get rid of Yanzhou altogether. Li Yi smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers and shook it, "The former one is relatively easy to achieve, last year's Hebei War was a little bit worse, but he didn't show up this time, if you want to kill him, you have to fight all the way to Changyi, which is obviously not easy." ā€

Of course, it is not easy, from Fenggao to Changyi, all the way is Cao Cao's territory. Despite the defeat in the front, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, but Cao Cao's ruling foundation in the western part of Yanzhou and several counties in the eastern part of Yuzhou did not waver.

"Intelligence shows that Cao Cao has deployed heavy troops in Lu and Dongping, and the garrison in Lu is Xiahou Xuan, a general with the same name as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren......" Li Yi dipped his fingers in wine and drew a sketch on the table to show Cao Cao's specific defense situation.

Cao Cao was a hero after all, and after the initial panic, he quickly stabilized his position. In order to prevent Li Yi's attack by victory, he built a strong defense line in the two counties of Lu and Dongping, from the southernmost Fan County, to Lu County, and then to Shouzhang, several strategic passes have sent famous generals to lead heavy guards.

It is not easy to pass through this line of defense, Xiahoudun is a general on the same level as Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, and from the performance of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, Xiahoudun's ability can be deduced.

"If you attack one city and one place, even if you can win every battle, when you reach Changyi City, there will be no more soldiers left. If you leave them alone and bypass them, you will be alone in the depths, and you may be cut off at any time, or even besieged, and you will win or lose. ā€

There are many examples of light soldiers sneaking up on the enemy's base camp and winning in one fell swoop, which is what Chengzu Zhu Di did when he was in trouble. But the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail, Zhu Di dared to do this because he had an internal response in Nanjing, and someone opened the city gate for him, but Li Yi did not have this convenience.

Cao Cao, he reuses his own relatives and generals, so although there is a suspicion of nepotism, there is a guarantee of loyalty. Moreover, whether it is his Cao family's relatives or Xiahou's relatives, they are very competitive, and they are all talents. Although the current battle situation in Yanzhou is unfavorable, it has not had much impact on Cao Cao's group.

As for the Cao Cao group, whether there will be unstable factors, there is no way to know the interests. But he knew very well that the surprise attack on Changyi City was a big gamble, and the moment the soldiers approached the city, it was possible to give a great shock to the city, resulting in wavering and refuge people, as internal responses, to break the city in one fell swoop; But it is more likely that the labor division went on an expedition, went deep alone, and then stopped the army under the fortified city.

This is a veritable gamble, if he had just crossed that time, the interests might be beaten, but now, his family business is not small, and he can't afford to fight for such a pitiful success rate.

Li Yi finally concluded: "Therefore, unless other forces join the battle and break the situation, it will definitely not work to capture the thief and capture the king first." Now, we can only try to erode Cao Cao's territory and squeeze out his power little by little. ā€

Wu Dun understood and said, "I see. So general, you issued decrees in the two counties of Mount Tai and Jibei to let the people come west to eat, which is counted as conscription? It's kind of interesting. ā€

It turned out that after the two armies invaded Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom respectively, Li Yi asked Gao Shun and Lu Wenlong and others to surround the main force of the Cao army, and on the other hand, let the people of Qingzhou rush to the two counties to grab the grain of these two counties. Part of the harvest was used as military rations for the army, and the rest was obtained by the people of Qingzhou themselves.

In this way, it not only solved the problem of food and grass for the army, but also allowed the people of Qingzhou to overcome the food shortage, and at the same time achieved the goal of attacking Cao Cao.

There are a lot of plains in Taishan County and Jibei Kingdom, and Cao Cao occupied these two places last year, so this year's harvest in these two places is good. Now that Cao Cao's army was surrounded by Li Yi's Northern Frontier Army, it created conditions for him to grab grain from these places.

Li Yi laughed, raised his hand and pointed outward, and said, "Ninety percent of the fields outside are local heroes. Since they don't know the current affairs and are ready to be loyal to Cao Cao, what else is there to be polite? Using their food to give to the hungry is the best punishment, haha! ā€

At the end of the Han Dynasty, peasant uprisings rose one after another, and the root cause was that the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, and the powerful used power to frantically annex land, so that more and more peasants lost the land they relied on for survival and fell into abject poverty.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou were the areas with the most concentrated Yellow Turban Uprisings, and they were also the most effective in suppression, indicating that the powerful forces here were relatively strong, and at the same time, there were more victims of land annexation.

The reason why they refused to surrender was not due to the influence of Li Yi's new policy in Hebei.

Hebei's New Deal was a policy that tended to defend the weak, and there was a fundamental conflict with the traditional Chinese bureaucratic system, which had always pursued the practice of punishing doctors and scholars, which was different from the Shishu, which focused on safeguarding the interests of the scholars.

Historically, before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's administration was quite similar to the new policy in Hebei, but after the war, in order to appease the Haoqiang in Jizhou, Cao Cao had to change his course and restore the policy to the traditional model.

Li Yi can actually adopt the same approach now, in order to change the internal affairs in exchange for the support of Yanzhou's powerful people, and then consolidate the territory that has been occupied more quickly.

It's a pity that Li Yi is not a politician in his bones, although he also knows how to listen to opinions and will not be stubborn because of things like face, but he will not make the slightest concession on principled things.

How to change the fate of China's centuries-old cycle of prosperity and decline?

Not to consume too much of the population in a civil war? Did it work? (To be continued.) )
