Chapter 3139 When things get smoothed out and things get messed up
Youzhou was shocked.
Jizhou was also shocked.
The Yecheng area is even more turbulent, with rumors spreading everywhere.
The people of the Han Dynasty in Shandong usually respect loyalty and filial piety, and pay attention to the inheritance of scriptures. They have always looked down on warriors and despised Qiu Ba. But now they find that the Hu people's swords and spears are almost in front of them, so they urgently need soldiers to help them block the Hu people's horses.
, even condescendingly begging Qiu Ba to take out the pie they had drawn before and draw another lace.
It turned out that those Qiu Ba really became what they despised the most.
The sons of the Shandong gentry laughed at those Qiu Ba who were lazy, greedy for money, fearless and fearful of enemies...
As a result, when the real Hu people arrived at the edge of Jizhou, the Shandong gentry children suddenly discovered that they were right!
Those Qiu Ba in Jizhou are really lazy, greedy for money, fearless and fearful of enemies...
this……
The local gentry children in Jizhou began to act instinctively.
Set up a jam, intercept, block.
All the refugees from Youzhou must be rushed back!
No one is allowed to destroy the hard-won peace and stability in Jizhou.
Of course, on the surface, the descendants of the Jizhou gentry and the country squires still said that it was against the rules for these refugees from Youzhou to come to Jizhou. After all, there were documents above that prohibited the refugees from migrating maliciously. Is this correct?
But in fact, these Jizhou gentry and gentry are afraid that these refugees will run away and they will take the blame.
Don’t the Hu people just want some people and goods?
Since Qiu Ba is unreliable, just give it to them!
After all, they are all ethnic groups that can be integrated, and they are all friends.
It blocks the flow of refugees, but it cannot stop the flow of news.
In the Han Dynasty, it was very difficult to pass on news, so these Jizhou gentry and squires received only fragmentary news about Youbei, the situation of the Hu people, the Hussar's attack, etc., and no one knew about it.
I can't guarantee the accuracy, but everyone is passing on the news, claiming that it is a relevant person, an internal channel...
Although beacon smoke is convenient and can be transmitted to areas thousands of miles away within an hour or two, the content it wants to convey is limited to very simple "yes" or "nothing". If you want to convey information through beacon smoke,
If you know the specific situation in a certain way, don’t make any wishful thinking.
The couriers were running around like crazy, and all kinds of bulk goods and gossip were overwhelming.
People are panicked.
Cao Pi in Yecheng also received the news that Youzhou was defeated and the Hu people went south to plunder...
Among these news, Cao Chun sometimes said that he was dead, sometimes said that he had surrendered to the Hussar, and sometimes said that he was defeated and captured. Even if Cao Pi had people publish the notice, the people still did not believe it, thinking that Cao Pi had returned.
It's just a routine cover-up.
The gentry and gentry in Shandong, especially those in northern Jizhou, naturally began to take measures to protect themselves.
Some counties and villages have been in a stable environment for a long time and have lost their general vigilance. Now they hear these big news and small rumors, and they suddenly become frightened, so they begin to urgently recruit village heroes to stabilize the place.
Because the barbarians don’t understand the scriptures and principles!
After all, for these Shandong officials and nobles, being able to preach scriptures and doctrines is not a big deal.
Jizhou is in turmoil, and the price of food on the market is rising three times a day.
Various counties, villages, manors, and Wubao have begun to gather manpower and gather village braves. As for whether these village braves can fight, or even recruit these village braves and civilians, will it have any impact on the subsequent spring plowing? That is not the case.
It's within their consideration range.
The lifeblood of the current official hat is almost gone, who can still think about the spring plowing in the future?
Only by keeping your butt in the present can you have a head in the future!
In the collision of such chaotic emotions, some opinions gradually rose up.
These Shandong gentry and squires, on the one hand, loudly preached that when ordinary people encountered difficulties and desperate situations, they loudly preached that life was miserable and there was nothing they could do about it, but on the other hand, when they themselves encountered threats, they immediately began to curse
, encirclement, coercion, and coercion. Officials must take care of them first, otherwise what will happen...
In the mouths of these rural gentlemen, the ones who were scolded the most were not the Hu people, nor Fei Qian, nor Zhao Yun, but Cao Cao.
Because Cao Cao is the overall leader of these Qiu Ba.
Now that the situation is so bad, shouldn't it be Cao Cao who takes the blame?
"I knew the old thief was exaggerating..."
"Someone said a long time ago that Mr. Cao has ulterior motives..."
"Just wait and see, sooner or later one day..."
The insults became louder and louder.
It reached Cao Pi's ears.
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Pi sat on the side of the throne with a gloomy face.
Can you still have a good New Year?!
Why did it become like this in just a few days?!
Cao Pi originally thought that this New Year would be pleasant. After all, the good news that Cao Xiu defeated the Hussars Navy in Shaanxi and Tianjin was delivered to Yecheng not long ago. The troops of Jiangdong allies also left Jiangling and headed for the Sichuan and Shu front lines. Cao Ren led the troops to conquer
We have arrived at Wancheng and are sending troops to attack Wuguandao. And so on, wasn't there some good news at the end of the year?
Why does everything change after the New Year?!
From Cao Cao's march to the present, forget about anything that has not been conquered. But haven't all the cities that have been seriously attacked have been taken down easily?
If you attack Luoyang, you will gain Luoyang; if you attack Changping, you will gain Changping.
Attack She County, She County surrendered; attack Wancheng, Wancheng fled.
One by one, Cao Jun can be said to be effortless!
Aren't there millions of people in Cao's army?
Didn’t Cao Cao command elite soldiers and strong generals, soldiers capable of hundreds of battles?
Jizhou and Yuzhou are not lagging behind, there are no hidden dangers, and the supply of grain and grass is extremely smooth!
Emperor Liu Xie was also very calm and did not jump up and down after Cao Cao left. He was very sensible!
Isn’t this New Year supposed to be happy and full of hope?
In the past, everything was peaceful and beautiful in Shandong, but on the other hand, it seems that only Tongguan is still persisting on the Hussar side. As long as Tongguan is entered, Guanzhong is not like a sieve, and you can fight whatever you want.
, a person from Shandong can flood the northern part of Guanzhong with just a little spit...
Cao Pi even thought of a poem to congratulate his father Cao Cao on his victory!
"The magnificent man, with his illustrious military exploits. The heroic hero, who is powerful in all directions. With a strong sword and an iron horse, he swallows the mountains and rivers. The sky is full of flames, the war drums are thundering..."
But why, after seeing that this new year has not been able to relax for two more days and the article has not been finished, Cao Chun in Youbei has been defeated. The barbarians have invaded Youbei and invaded Jizhou?!
What are Cao Chun and Cao Zihe doing?!
Yes, Cao Pi knew that Cao Chun was still alive, but why did Cao Pi think that Cao Chun didn't die in Gubeikou?
Why do you still have the nerve to stay in Yuyang?!
Cao Chun's move to preserve the strength of Cao Jun's cavalry was not worth mentioning in Cao Pi's eyes, but was actually a crime.
Cao Pi believed that if Cao Chun fought to the death with Zhao Yun in Mobei, Zhao Yun would be severely injured, right? Wouldn't there be no invasion of Youbei?
Will Zhao Yun still have the strength to attack Youbei after his injuries? At that time, the Xinchangshan hussars will inevitably have to retreat, and at most they will stop at Youbei. Then Cao Pi will have plenty of time to deploy his troops.
By stabilizing the defense line, wouldn't it be possible to show that Cao Pi was fearless in the face of danger and had the demeanor of a general? Instead of being so busy now, with beacon fires and messes everywhere!
In Cao Pi's hand, he held the urgent note sent by Cao Chun.
Of course, the report was nominally written to Cao Cao, but Cao Pi at the transit station could naturally read it.
"...The thieves had many connections with various tribes in the Northern Desert. I was not aware of it for a while and fell into his treacherous scheme. Fortunately, I discovered it early and fought to my death to break through. They also killed two Hu chiefs at Gubeikou and several Hu soldiers to boost the morale of the soldiers and guard the isolated city of Yuyang.
.I believe that at this point, we should focus on the overall situation rather than fighting for temporary gains, so we have the elite cavalry inside to wait for work, and also order the officials to be assigned to each county one after another to connect the bloodlines, garrison the local area, and maintain the vassal in Youji.
, to consolidate the army and the people and to restore the pass, this is to make it perfect..."
Perfect!
You still have the nerve to say "perfect"!
Is this your @#￥% sure thing?!
Cao Pi tried hard not to curse, then gasped twice, and silently asked Chen Qun and Cui Yanchuan to read Cao Chun's report.
Chen Qun and Cui Yan obviously didn't want to take over such a hot potato, but looking at Cao Pi's gloomy face, they finally took it helplessly.
Wouldn't it be enough to just give it to Cao Cao directly?
This naughty kid is really...
Although Cao Chun's memorial was very good, for Cao Pi, he no longer dared to believe Cao Chun.
Before the attack on Changshan, wasn't it said that there was a perfect strategy and that Youzhou's defense line was rock solid? But what about now?
Cao Pi thought with a sullen face, if it is true that Youzhou is corrupted and further affects Jizhou, the entire Western Expedition plan may have to be suspended!
Of course, it is also possible that Zhao Yun was encircling Wei to save Zhao, but who can guarantee that Zhao Yun was just pretending to besiege and not actually fighting?
After reading the report, Chen Qun thought for a moment and said respectfully: "Sir, what you and the general said is true. Guarding Yuyang can stop the raids from the south and contain the army of Changshan. Now all the towns and counties in Youzhou are...
There was no major loss. There were also heavy troops guarding Ji County and guarding Yijing. They were all elite and tenacious and dared to fight. The walls of Ji County in Yuyang were high and thick. With the ability of the son and the general, there was no danger. Yijing could be the horns of each other and cooperate with each other.
Our army is elite and well-equipped for both combat and defense. Changshan's army has come from afar and cannot hold power for long. If they circle the city without attacking, these places will keep watch on each other, chase them in front and behind, and attack them on all sides. When they are exhausted, the morale of the army will be
It will waver, and the only way out is to retreat."
Strictly guard the city and wait for it to retreat?
That’s easy to say!
Isn’t Yuyang strictly guarded?
What has become of Youzhou now?
This Chen Changwen is not honest either!
"What if Taishi Ben Ye comes again?" Cao Pi asked with a sneer, "Chang Wen is willing to vouch for his son and the general?"
Cao Cao once said to Cao Pi before that although Taishi Ci's long-distance attack on Yecheng did not capture any cities, it almost drained the Yuan family's energy and energy at once, and also made Jizhou people begin to know each other.
He himself was not as arrogant as he was at the beginning. In the subsequent battles, he was inevitably a little timid, hesitant and hesitant, and lost the momentum he had at the beginning.
It even affected the choice issues within the Yuan family after Yuan Shao's death...
Cao Pi did not want to repeat the shame of Yecheng on himself.
Especially the current period is the best window period for him to establish the prestige of the "successor". If he is discredited, no one will remember what he did before or after, only Yecheng.
It's such a shame. Although everyone knows that this yellow mud has little direct connection with Cao Pi, among those who care about it, it will always be Cao Pi's dirty shit.
"Haha, Young Master is joking. If we can guarantee this, we can retreat from Changshan's army. We will be obliged to do so."
Chen Qun remained calm on the surface, but he had begun to curse in his heart.
Does this matter have anything to do with him?
Just say a few words of relief, and then it's time to go online?
"Young Master, now that the bandit army has broken through, they can go to Liaodong in the east, Daijun in the west, and Jizhou in the south. They can go anywhere. However, they have set up defenses everywhere, but in fact they are not strong enough. We have to mobilize soldiers from Jizhou and help Zihe from the north.
General, this is the best response.』
When Chen Qun said this, there was inevitably a hint of sarcasm in his tone. I didn't create this mess in Youzhou, but now it seems like he wants to accuse me.
When Cao Jun won the victory, he smiled like a morning glory. Now something happened in Youbei. He suffered a defeat and lost a little territory, so he just chattered and chattered. What's the matter?
What’s wrong, we can only win but not lose?
Even those children who are stupid in reading understand that victory and defeat are common for military strategists. Even your father dare not vouch for it and say that he is victorious in every battle. How did he end up here? This is like saying
Should Cao Chun kill himself on the spot to thank the world?
However, facing Cao Pi, Chen Qun suppressed his unhappiness and remained calm, explaining in a leisurely manner...
From a military point of view, Cao Chun's current strategy cannot be considered completely wrong.
It may be a bit of a helpless decision, but it can also be called "safe".
Everything requires trade-offs. If Chen Qun is really appointed as the coach, he will probably adopt the strategy of exchanging time for space, or exchanging space for time.
The Hu people are crazy when they don't grab anything, but once they grab something, their attention will shift from invading various places and looting villages to the problem of how to transport these things back to the desert. At this moment, they were originally traveling back and forth.
The Hu people who are nowhere to be found will have one or several obvious return routes. If they can be ambushed and surrounded, they can be severely damaged.
This is one of them.
The second is the weather. If the Hu people send troops in the twelfth lunar month, the Hu people will definitely lose a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. If these losses are not replaced by the Hu people, the Hu people will definitely go crazy. This is the fundamental reason why the Hu people went south to plunder wildly, and
The plunder could not have lasted too long, let alone marching thousands of miles to Yecheng. The barbarians were just barbarians, and they could not become the second Taishi Ci.
As for the follow-up Zhao Yun Changshan Army...
It is really possible to rush to Yecheng in one go, but if it is really embarrassing, it will also be embarrassing to the Cao family, and it has nothing to do with me, Chen?
Anyway, the Shan army has already broken through an important mountain road like Gubeikou. It is definitely impossible to stop them, but what can they do if they destroy Youzhou? Anyway, Jizhou is close by, and by then the boss will definitely have to fill the holes in Jizhou. When Yuzhou arrives
It's okay to be mean at the time, maybe you can use this opportunity to suppress the economic strength of the Jizhou guy again, you can hold the Jizhou guy down and pose in various postures...,
Thirdly, weakening Jizhou is the political requirement of Yuzhou as a whole, so what’s wrong with taking this opportunity to draw blood from the people of Jizhou?
That's why a fool would jump out and take the responsibility of driving away Chang Shan's army and the Hu people.
Chen Qun said that General Cao Chun was right, his strategy was the optimal solution, and I had no better way.
I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t understand. The teacher didn’t teach me. If you have a way, you can do it.
Chen Qun is in ruins.
Saying a few nice words to Cao Chun right now is the limit.
Even if Cao Chun is really held accountable by then, there is no way that Cao Chun will still accept Chen Qun's favor.
But Cui Yan, who is next to him, is not in the same pit as Chen Qun. He can't just watch Jizhou really lose under Chen Qun's strategy, so he can't agree with Chen Qun's strategy, at least he must put the danger aside
strangled to death in Youzhou...
Cui Yan coughed, attracting Cao Pi's attention.
Cui Yan is a professional. If it is not really related to Jizhou's interests, he will generally remain silent.
After all, it is convenient for others, but it is different now. The situation in Youbei is so bad, and it has been destroyed so suddenly, so that Jizhou suddenly seems to have lost its barrier and must face the threat of hussar.
Oh, or it could be said to be the current threat from the Hu people and the potential threat from the Qiusi...
Now, Cui Yan can't show off anymore.
For a long time, Shandong people lived in their own world.
The same is true for Cui Yan, who lives in Jizhou.
How about the big man? In fact, it has little to do with him, but if Jizhou is threatened, he will be anxious.
The root of this malady is the divine right of kings.
Cui Yan is also a heirloom of classics.
For him, he advocates the doctrine of Confucius and Mencius and the theory of the connection between heaven and man. In his concept, like many Shandong people, monarchy is not equal to the world, and the country is not equal to China.
To put it simply, Cui Yan's "family" is greater than the "country", because the so-called "country", in the ideas of people like Cui Yan, is just the Liu family's "family".
Since it is someone else's home, what does it have to do with whether Liu's "home" is good or bad?
If Mr. Liu does a good job, he will continue to be the head of the household; if he does not do a good job, someone else will take charge.
If this is the case for the Liu family, what about the Cao family?
Cui Yan looked at Chen Qun, and Chen Qun also looked at Cui Yan.
Cui Yan's face was expressionless.
Chen Qun smiled slightly.
Cao Pi asked: "Does Ji Gui have a good plan to deal with it?"
Chen Qun knew that Cui Yan was dissatisfied with his suggestion, but he had no objection to Cui Yan trying to save himself. He just wanted to keep an eye on Cui Yan and not harm the interests of Yingchuan in Yuzhou.
This kind of three-dimensional outlook that only cares about oneself and does not care about the world is actually in great contrast with the Shandong gentry's verbal attitude that they are all over the world. It is this contrast that made Cao Pi, Chen Qun, and Cui Yan finally
The last chance to adjust the balance of victory and defeat was lost.
Because they are all smart people.
Only fools give selflessly.
Cui Yan held up his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to repel the Hu soldiers..."
