Chapter 19 Move all away
When they returned to Xiangyang County, Guo Jia and Deng Zhi had been waiting for a long time.
The expressions of the two were different. Deng Zhi's face was bright and dark. Obviously, he was a little hesitant when he made a major choice. Guo Jia looked happy. Occasionally, she clenched her fist tightly and hit the other palm hard, showing her excitement in her heart.
Seeing He Chen coming in, Guo Jia didn't care about etiquette. He hurried forward and said, "Congratulations, Lord, congratulations. This is God's help for the Lord to achieve hegemony. Congratulations."
He Chen obviously didn't expect how excited Guo Jia's reaction was. He couldn't help saying, "Where does the joy come from? Oh, do you agree with Feng Xiao to go north to Bingzhou to fight against the Xiongnu?
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly and said with a smiling face, "Exactly."
He Chen casually waved his lower hand and sat down in a seat with a puzzled expression: "If you obey Dong Zhuo's order, go north to Bingzhou and fight against the Xiongnu. That is to give up the position of pastoralism in Jingzhou, that is to say, to give up the painstakingly managed Nanyang County. Fengxiao, you also know that someone painstakingly and exhausts his brains. He finally stood still in Nanyang and condensed the Shi family into a fist, uniformly to the outside world. Let the people return to their hearts and be happy to plough in the fields. If they let go so easily, won't the efforts in the past few years be watery? In addition, the outstanding people in Nanyang are extremely convenient for both population and material replenishment. Coupled with the hard-won occupied important town of Xiangyang, is all this simply given up? To be honest, someone is very unwilling. And didn't the previous filial piety also mean taking the eight counties first and then Tuba Shu? Why have you changed your mind now?
Guo Jiaping was excited for a moment, and then said seriously: "Those who have become a great career since ancient times have unified China from north to south, from west to east. Gain's regimes are all in the Yellow River Basin of the Central Plains, which is a political, economic and cultural center with huge natural advantages. Throughout the ancient and modern times, Qin belonged to the western Di ethnic group. He was good at riding and shooting, and unified the Central Plains with the land of Taichuan. Although Gao Zu rose up in Pei County, he made a fortune in Hanzhong and benefited from the fertile soil of Sichuan and Shu. Subsequently, Han Xin's Ming repaired the plank road and secretly crossed the Chencang. He took the Guanzhong area in one fell swoop and returned to the three Qin. In the end, there was a battle, the feat of unifying the Central Plains. In the past, the lord wanted to enter Shuchuan with the soldiers of Jingxiang. Although he did not lose a good policy, if he could start with Bingzhou and go out of Taihanghuguan in the east, he could overcome the four prefectures in Hebei; if he went out of the east of the river in the west, he could look cool and Yong. In addition, at this time, the local clan strength of Bingzhou is extremely weak, which is far from comparable to that of Jingzhou. It is convenient for the master to completely control, and its resistance is far less than that of Xiangyang and other places. This is only one of them; second, although the Lord was represented as Jingzhou Pastor by the Holy Edict, the Lord did not have an official seal and no appointment documents. If the lord changes to Bingzhou Mu, it will be a matter of truth, and it will not leave a handle and teach the people's tongue.
"What the military division said is that the northern region has a developed economy, a prosperous culture and a large population. In addition, it is located in the plain. Although the atmosphere is bad, the people's customs are fierce, the war is brave, and they fight with different races all the year round. The source of soldiers is not a problem. In addition, although the south is rich, most of them are separated, and the folk customs are soft. With the strength of the State of Chu, it is still unable to resist the strong soldiers in the north. You can know the three flavors. Deng Zhi then added.
"Do you all agree to give up Nanyang and go north to Bingzhou?" He Chen is extremely depressed. Is his strategic vision really so bad?
"In fact, there is another advantage of giving up Nanyang. Nanyang is the place of the four wars. Sooner or later, it will be stared in the eyes of princes from all walks of life. Countless people who enter Jingzhou will inevitably be divided into a batch, a batch of people will be recruited, and a batch will be suppressed. This also saves the situation that the master can't get rid of the back end. After a few years, when the lord entered Jingzhou again, hehe, I'm afraid it will become very simple.
"And hasn't the Lord been worried about the cavalry-free army? If it is in Bingzhou, this problem will be solved immediately." The more they talked, the more excited they became. They drew a blueprint in the air, saying that the sky was falling, and their mouths were flying.
Is Bingzhou really so good? He Chen's expression finally loosened a little.
When Guo Jia saw He Chen's intention, he hit the railway while it was hot: "The reason why the lord can't give up Nanyang is not how good this place is, but that he spent a lot of effort in it. Suddenly, he wanted to give it to others overnight, and he was reluctant to part with it, didn't he?"
He Chen was hit to the point and couldn't help nodding repeatedly and said, "That's right."
"It's easy to do. Didn't Dong Zhuo ask the lord to attack the Xiongnu in the north? This is obviously the same as the previous use of Xiangyang. I want to consume the strength of the master through the Xiongnu. I'm not a fool. I can't do it for nothing. This is to fight, and it is to fight soldiers. Then transfer all the soldiers of the regiment in Nanyang, including the "Burning Legion", the "Night Legion" and the "Blizzard Legion" and so on, and so on. Oh, there is also the military service of the reserve civil corps. With so many soldiers on the expedition, they have to eat and wear, right? The granaries in Nanyang County, including all the strategic grain storage, as well as supplies, clothing and so on, were all taken away. But food alone is not enough. What about weapons, armor and arrows? These are all consumables. Once the war starts and the consumption is amazing, it should be taken away. If the armor is damaged, it needs to be repaired, and if the knife is blunt, it needs to be ground. Then bronze, fine iron, etc. are also indispensable and should also be pulled away. Of course, the most important thing is money. I guess there is no need for my subordinates to say these things. The master also understands it in his heart. Guo Jia said with a double smile.
"Damn, just leave an empty shell for Liu Biao? People can't be so shameless, filial piety. He Chen scolded awe-inspiringly.
"It's just filial piety, your vision is still a little short-sighted? This must be far from enough. I have worked hard to rob so many people, but I can't take advantage of Liu Biao for nothing. Why should I order them to move to Bingzhou? Bingzhou is too far away to go? Then Luoyang and Hedong are also fine. There are so many rich businessmen in Nanyang. Anyway, I also fight against the Xiongnu and protect the country. How can they do it without any effort? It's enough for each family to pay a thousand eight hundred taels of gold. There is also the important town of Xiangyang. I finally took it down, and I have to take a few poops when I leave, leaving a pot of mouse porridge for Liu Biao to drink. He Chen was very excited and expressed his dissatisfaction with Guo Jia, a bandit, which was not complete enough. At the same time, he added that he had added his point of view.
"The Lord and the Holy Spirit." Guo Jia worshiped.
Haha, He Chen and Guo Jia smiled and were complacent.
"If the lord is cruel enough, he can completely ignore Liu Biao and send a heart-hearted general and a staff stationed in Xiangyang and Wancheng. With the benefit of Xiangyang and the strength of Wancheng, Liu Biao did not pull out 100,000 troops and did not want to conquer. At that time, the lord guards Yanmen in the north, the danger of Huguan, the tiger prison in the east, the soldiers of Hangu and Wuguan in the west, and the interests of Xiangyang and Wancheng in the south can become hegemony. Deng Zhi was enthusiastic and brilliant, and obviously wanted to express his point of view.
"No, no, Bo Miao is too radical. With the current strength of the lord, it is not enough to open up several fronts. Dong Zhuo has the possibility of coming out of the Han Valley in the west at any time. The Xiongnu in the north are belligerent and plunders Hebei every year. In addition, the northwest is a prairie with a vast extension, and it is impossible to attack in a battle. The defense task is extremely serious. In the place of the four battles in Nanyang, it is always necessary to guard against the prestige from Hanzhong and Yuzhou. Threaten, Yuan Shu's relationship with the lord is very poor, and conflicts may break out at any time. In addition, when Liu Biao enters the lord of Jingzhou, he must find ways to take it back the heavy county of Xiangyang. In this way, the lord is almost attacked by the enemy on all sides, which is really undesirable. Guo Jia refuted Deng Zhi's opinion.
"Bumiao's words suggest that if you really want to go north to Bingzhou, you can also keep the generals in Xiangyang and Nanyang to support their own feet, and then we secretly help their supplies, weapons and even soldiers to resist Liu Biao. And isn't He Man's predecessor a yellow scarf? Let him lead some people, disguised as yellow scarf thieves, and go to disturb and plunder Nan County when he has nothing to do. If Liu Biao's army comes, he will hide from the Yangtze River waterway. Some of them have a headache. After dragging it down for several years, it is estimated that the state animal husbandry will also deal with Bingzhou at that time.
Guo Jia and Deng Zhi looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.
Then, these people who killed thousands of knives became more and more energetic. All kinds of yin tricks were poured out like bamboo cone beans. The sinister means and the viciousness of their intentions made people look sideways.
After being persuaded by these two people, He Chen did not feel that it was a bad thing to go north to Bingzhou, but he did not agree on the surface, but temporarily suppressed it for a few days to let himself think about it. In fact, he still wants to hear the opinions of Tian Feng and Xun You.
And even if you want to leave Jingzhou, you still have some things to deal with properly.
He Chen sent Guo Jia and Deng Zhi away, and he was alone in a daze in the study.
Do you really have to leave the place where you have been struggling for several years?
He Chen is a little depressed. Speaking of which, he still doesn't have enough power. Otherwise, he doesn't care about Dong Zhuo's bullshit. I don't want to leave by myself. Let's see what he can do.
My life is too bitter. At this time, I was transferred out of Xiangyang? Two years at night is also good. At this time, Zhuge Liang also followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan in Yuzhang. Xu Shu estimated that he had just killed and fled, and Shi Tao had not moved to Xiangyang yet. As for Wei Yan and Gan Ning, they have not seen a shadow so far. At this time, they are really unwilling to leave Jingzhou.
"Lord, General He is back."
"Oh? Is He Man back? Please come in quickly." He Chen hurriedly said and watched the bodyguard leave. He also couldn't sit still and stood up. He took a few steps back and forth in the study. He was a little nervous and uneasy. Since the capture of Xiangyang, He Chen has kept collecting talents, but because Xiangyang is too big and he can't take care of it all, he asked He Man to inquire about Gan Ning and Wei Yan.
Soon, He Man strode to the meteor.
Since He Man defected to He Chen, he has also been heavily used, especially in the pursuit of Dong Zhuo. He has shown an extraordinary tactical vision. With thousands of soldiers, he has dragged down tens of thousands of troops. Since then, he has become a leading general of the Nanyang army who is not inferior to Wenpin.
Subsequently, he was soon promoted to the head of the army, which shows how He Chen valued him.
