Chapter 678: Guangxi Qian Jian Incident (II)
Arresting means killing the soldiers who are now returning to the south under Zhong Xiang's command, once he really does that, it will inevitably make the people of the world think that Zhong can't believe in the people who return to the south. As a result, those who have the heart to go south and submit to him will be afraid to step forward and dare not come to vote.
Any army, no matter how brave and good at fighting, first needs to have a complete and continuous system of replenishment of troops. Without a complete and continuous replenishment system, no matter how brave and good the army is, it will eventually run out on the battlefield. No matter how heroic the leader is, he will not be able to escape the fate of the overlord of Chu in the end.
As long as you are a person who leads the troops, you can understand this truth. In what Liu Heng said, he was telling Zhong Xiang: You can't just arrest the people who returned to the south and kill them, you have to think about how we can pull more people to fight Liu Xing together in the future. If they are all killed and no one dares to come to you, how will we continue to play this game of self-determination and competition for the world in the future.
The meaning of Liu Heng's words, of course, Zhong Xiang also understood. So when Liu Heng's words were finished, he stared at Liu Heng intently.
"Then you say, how can I use the method of protecting armor and guaranteeing to identify which of the southbound people in our army are Liu Xing's thieves?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Xiang decided to listen to the advice of the military advisor and then make a final decision.
Liu Heng didn't shirk either, and immediately talked about his plan.
What trick does Liu Heng want to play? In the first plan, he suggested that Zhong Xiang take advantage of the general psychology of the Southern Returning soldiers to hope for the prosperity of the Northern Dynasty to mobilize Xiaoxiang relatives and local soldiers to hedge against it in public opinion.
First, use public opinion to create civil strife, and then use internal strife to aggravate internal contradictions. After the contradiction is completely intensified, Zhong Xiang can take action to pull one group and fight another. borrowed relatives and local soldiers and horses to capture and kill those who returned to the south reasonably and without criticism.
The second scheme. Contact the local chaebol and appease the local merchants on Guangnan West Road. Win over the locals of Quang Nam West Road. Join the conflict with the Returnees.
The idea of mutual assistance and mutual protection between local clans and societies should be used to increase the contradictions between the returnees from the south and the locals and the Huxiang ethnic groups. In this way, when Zhong takes action against the southbound returnees, he can kill two birds with one stone.
It not only cracked down on possible potential threat groups, but also attracted local powers, which helped Zhong Xiang's army quickly gain the support of the locals and get sufficient money and food support.
In that case, even if the minting of the four eunuchs such as Yuanfeng Jian cannot be restored in the short term, there is no need to worry about the lack of money and food, resulting in defeat.
The third scheme is to win over the local chaebols, wealthy businessmen and landlords at the same time. To form alliances with local non-governmental organizations such as clans.
As long as Zhong Xiang is crowned king, he will first canonize the leaders of those local clans and non-governmental organizations, and pull them into this new court, so that they can form a community of interests with Zhong Xiang's new dynasty.
After pulling those sects and community organizations into the new imperial court, they will use those people to deeply attack the group of southbound returnees.
Of course, it is also possible to quickly obtain the replenishment of soldiers through those clans and community organizations, so that the soldiers of the new dynasty can be fully guaranteed, and then a new system of replenishment of soldiers can be established.
At the same time, once the Northern Dynasty army moves south in the future, those local clans and community organizations may also become the biggest obstacle to the Xinwang soldiers at any time.
With Liu Xing's consistent policy, he would not easily wield a butcher's knife directly at the local Haoqiang, but would choose the means of soothing first and then killing.
Because of the understanding of Liu Xing's consistent practice. Therefore, Liu Heng believes that the best way is to use Liu Xing to unite and use the law of the sect and society.
Then apply the way of the other and the routine of the other body, so that the soldiers of the king of faith will enter the Guangnan West Road one day in the future. They will also fall into the quagmire of the formation of local clans first.
In the fourth plan, Liu Heng suggested that Zhong Xiang should send people to Lin'an and meet King Kang Zhao Gou at the same time as carrying out internal purging. Pull foreign aid and form an alliance against the Northern Korean army that may move south in the future.
King Kang's current form is not much better than Zhong Xiang after he became independent, so Liu Heng believes that he has not refused the request of Zhong Xiangjun in his hand to have an alliance of Zhong Xiangjun, which is far stronger than King Kang's soldiers and has the same number of people.
As long as the alliance between King Kang and Zhong Xiang is reached, then the two sides are horns and rely on each other, even if Hunan sends troops to attack in the future, at least it can't stop King Kang's Guangnan East Road to retreat and entrench.
In the last plan, Liu Heng suggested that even if Zhong Xiang was forced to transfer in the future, he would take away all the local chaebols and wealthy businessmen, and adopt Liu Bei's strategy during the Three Kingdoms: abduct people and change places, protect the foundation and rejuvenate it.
As long as these wealthy merchants and chaebols on the West Guangnan Road can be tightly grasped, Liu Heng believes that even if the soldiers of King Xin can attack the West Guangnan Road, sooner or later they will be overwhelmed by all kinds of people-to-people connections, and finally when they are exhausted, Zhong Xiang will lead the army to counterattack with the help of those local tycoons, and they will definitely be able to recover the lost ground......
……
"Clever plan, wonderful plan, this Liu Heng is a talent!"
Liu Heng's strategy was finally adopted by Zhong Xiang, but early the next morning, Liu Xing by the Surabaya River called twice and praised Liu Heng.
As soon as the words of praise fell, Liu Xing's face immediately became gloomy, and he looked sideways at Liang Xing and said, "He has a good plan, and I have a ladder over the wall." Little brother Liang Xing, the five poisonous plans to deal with this Liu Heng are it's time for your Military Intelligence Department to lurk in Zhong Xiang's army, and those local Xiaoxiang spies he thinks are credible to take action. ”
"What are the arrangements of the Taifu, please clearly inform your subordinates." Liang Xing obviously didn't know how Liu Xing wanted to deal with Liu Heng's complete and vicious anomaly, which could really create long-term and big trouble for the Northern Dynasty, so he asked.
Bowing his head and pondering, Liu Xing made a series of deployments to his positive color when he raised his head again.
In response to Liu Heng's strategy to let Zhong Xiang win over the local sect community on Guangnan West Road, Liu Xing's response plan was to let those secret agents lurking in Zhong Xiang's army create friction with those who did not return to the south, and at the same time, look for all available opportunities to contradict those sects and communities, and it is best to launch a large-scale conflict.
Borrow Zhong Xiang's soldiers to kill those local large and small sects, sects and other organizations. borrowed a trick to make Liu Heng's plan become a pit dug by Zhong Xiang for himself, and then pushed him into that pit and couldn't jump out for a while.
In response to Liu Heng's routine of wooing the local chaebols and wealthy businessmen on Guangnan West Road, Liu Xing's deployment was to lure and bribe those who were not strong among the local chaebols and wealthy businessmen to act as peripheral spies for the secret agents.
Give those people some promises to ensure that even if the Northern Korean army enters Guangxi in the future, their interests will not be damaged. At the same time, priority will be given to allowing them to join the various industries of the government, supervision and commercial offices in the future, so as to help them transform from a disadvantaged group to a new strong consortium group.
He promised those people that as long as they did not stand on the side of Zhong Xiang and came to be the enemy of the Northern Dynasty, as long as they did not commit serious crimes in the future, they would never go to court. If any of the clansmen participate in the rebellion, they will not be connected to their families, so as to prevent the recurrence of the old bad things of one rebellion and the whole clan.
When doing this, let those secret agents try their best to create contradictions while secretly co-opting those groups of southbound returnees who are about to be suppressed.
Don't let Zhong Xiangzhen have a chance to kill those people, but rescue those people and let them go to the mountains of Guangxi to gather in the mountains and forests, as a response to the Xinwang army when they go south in the future. As long as those people succeeded in occupying the mountain as kings, all the money, food, and ordnance were all supported by the Northern Dynasties by airship. (To be continued.) )
