Chapter 742: Stealing food and money to force a war
Yao Xing shook his head: "The resistance in Yecheng was unexpectedly strong. All the Di people from the Guandong region gathered in Yecheng, and most of the people in Hebei were grateful for Fu Jian's benevolent government and refused to help the Yan army. In addition, some of the Yan army's
The Hu troops, especially the Ding Ling tribe, broke military discipline along the way and looted along the way, which pushed many Hebei people to the Di Qin side. Murong Chui tried the method of attacking the city with hundreds of roads, and also tried to divert the Zhang River to flood the city.
None of the water attack methods succeeded. Now we can only retreat temporarily, surrounded by three and one missing, and want Fu Pi to leave voluntarily."
Yao Chang sneered and said: "Fu Pi has to leave early. Unless Yecheng runs out of food, he will not leave. Once the war breaks out, it will not be easy for Murong Chui's army to maintain food for a long time. You are like this
After leaving for the first time, I'm afraid I saw the crisis in Yan's army."
Yao Xing smiled slightly: "Exactly, from what the child has seen, Ding Ling and Zhai Bin have become rebellious, and they are fighting with Murong Chui right before their eyes!"
Yao Chang's expression changed slightly, and then he regained his composure, and said with a smile: "This is what was expected. Ding Ling people only want to rob, not produce, but what Murong Chui wants is to get the land in Hebei and become his own business."
King, in his eyes, the land he is conquering now is not like the ownerless land in the Central Plains. It is his future territory, and the people who surrender are also his own people. Naturally, he cannot let Zhai Bin loot it like he did in the Central Plains. He cannot rob it.
Ding Ling people, or Ding Ling people?”
There was a roar of laughter in the tent, and Yao Chang looked around with satisfaction and said: "Everyone, we Qiang people don't learn from those local dogs like the Ding Ling people, who can't do anything but rob, nor do we learn from Fu Jian's hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, treating the common people as our ancestors.
According to the rules left by our ancestors of the Qiang people, the place where the tablet is laid can be left free for three days. However, after three days, it will be our own place. No one is allowed to make any more decisions. Do you understand?
?”
The civil servants and generals in the tent all saluted and said yes. Yao Chang looked at Yao Xing: "In your opinion, when will Murong Chui and Ding Ling and Zhai Bin fight? Who will win?"
Yao Xing smiled slightly: "The child is very clear about Zhai Bin's two brushes. He is definitely no match for Murong Chui. Even Murong Chui has long seen that this person will rebel, like Murong Nong and Murong Lin.
They all tried to persuade Murong Chui to stop, but Murong Chui said that Zhai Bin was the originator of the uprising after all. If he didn't make a clear counter-action at this time, killing him would chill people's hearts and block the way for the world's elites to join him. When he becomes too proud, he will cause trouble on his own.
At this time, if we can justifiably get rid of him, it will be a matter of course."
Yao Chang smiled and said: "I know Murong Chui. He is very thoughtful and leaves room for action. If he dares to deal with Zhai Bin like this, he must be full of informants among Ding Ling people. As long as Zhai Bin really becomes rebellious,
If you want to plot against Murong Chui, you will be captured before you have time to launch it. It's good that there will be chaos in Guandong for a while, so that those ambitious people have no time to worry about other things. This will help us achieve success in Guanzhong. But let's not talk about this now.
Talking about the current chaos, if you can't even deal with Fu Jian and Murong Chong, why talk about competing with Murong Chui for world hegemony?"
Everyone in the tent said in unison: "The Great Chan is Yu Yingming, our opinions are not as good as mine!"
Yao Chang nodded, looked at Yao Xing, and said: "Xing'er, although you have just returned to the camp, you will be the one who will inherit Gu's great cause in the future. You must not only have a vision as a counselor, but also as a general.
Based on your overall judgment, in your opinion, how should our army act in the current situation we are facing?"
Yao Xing replied without thinking: "Fu Jian's main force was dragged by Murong Chong in the Bashang area, and it was difficult to take care of us. This is a God-given opportunity that allows us to defeat Yang Bi's current partial division. I thought that now our army's strength
If we have an absolute advantage, we can find a way to eat up this Qin army."
Yao Chang said softly: "So, you want us to attack the Qin army's camp?"
Yao Xing shook his head: "No, when the child came back, he passed by the Zhaoshiwu camp of the Qin army. Their camp was still very strong. They only defended without fighting. With the current strength and equipment level of our army, even though there are many people, it is overwhelming.
But it is impossible to succeed in a forceful attack. And the water sources and food routes of the Qin army have not been cut off. I am afraid that the stalemate will last for a long time. If you want a quick victory, you must attract the main force of the Qin army to come out of the camp and fight with me."
Yao Chang nodded with satisfaction: "Then what can you do to get the Qin army to come out?"
Yao Xing said seriously: "The method is ready. This time our army attacked from Lingbei and went deep into Guanzhong, just to plunder the granaries in various places in Guanzhong. Fu Jian took the initiative to attack, and even left the Xianbei and Yan army alone. Firstly, it was
Our army is relatively weak in combat effectiveness and easy to fight. Secondly, we also need to protect the Guanzhong granary. In a war, the two armies are facing each other. The victory or defeat can be decided in one day, but the army cannot be without food for a day. The area controlled by Fu Jian has a large number of people.
, the food consumption is also huge. If he loses this year's food, he will soon fall into famine. With his personality of caring for the people, but he cannot bear to expel these people, he can only be forced to fight with our army or the army in advance.
The Yan army has entered a decisive battle. In a decisive battle under such circumstances, the odds of winning are extremely low. Fu Jian can be captured in one battle!"
Yao Chang laughed: "My son has really good opinions. It seems that you have learned a lot from Ding Ling over the years."
Yao Xing smiled slightly: "Father, thank you, but the child and the Ding Ling people all know that their plundering nature is not because they are more ferocious and warlike than the Han people or other ethnic groups, but because of the Ding Ling people."
People are loose by nature, do not engage in production, do nothing, and have no choice but to rob when they have nothing to eat. In fact, this principle is the same for everyone. During the Taiping years, the Han people could farm the land with peace of mind and live and work in peace and contentment with food to eat. But in troubled times
, once there is no food, no matter whether they are Han people or Qiang people, everyone will turn from humans into beasts. At that time, they will attack each other and snatch food just to survive. Fu Jian's benevolence and righteousness cannot fill the people's stomachs.
And if my father has enough food and a stable enough rear, there will definitely be a cloud of followers, and even the people who have Fu Jian's good thoughts in their hearts will eventually become loyal and reliable warriors under my father."
Yao Chang smiled and said: "Very good, what you mean is that our army is plundering everywhere to grab food in the Guanzhong area, right? Does this mean that the Qin army can go to war?"
Yao Xing nodded: "Yes, the people have no food, and the army is stationed nearby. They will definitely ask for help from the army. Most of Fu Jian's troops are locals in Guanzhong. What if they see their relatives and family members suffering?
