Chapter 3200 Don't know that the fragrance fog is wet people's beards
When Yang Xiu returned, Cao Zhen, who was in the Shangyong area of ​​Hanzhong, was also in trouble.
The Shangyong area in Hanzhong has a wide range, but the economy is not developed. Most of the population is concentrated in the Nanzheng area of ​​Hanzhong. There are basically hills and mountains near Shangyong. Although the Han River is connected to it, it is not easy to walk.
Shangyong's easy defense and difficult attack obviously exceeded Cao's expectations.
For Cao's army, or the entire Shandong political system, they were far from aware of it, and they had not considered in detail how to operate in such relatively unobstructed areas. Just like after Cao Cao took Hanzhong in history, the decision he made was to migrate the population and hollow out Hanzhong.
If it is difficult, just give up.
After all, as long as you are willing to give up, everything is easy to discuss.
On the contrary, Li Dian had a deeper understanding of the Shangyong area in Hanzhong than Cao Zhen.
If you stationed in Hanzhong, you cannot just guard Nanzheng, because once Cao's army enters the Hanzhong Basin, it will naturally be very troublesome.
Fei Qian's rule over the land of Shangyong was quite weak before.
To defend Hanzhong, you cannot defend Nanzheng, or Shangyong.
On the one hand, the population base of Shangyong was originally relatively small, and the local structure was almost zero. On the other hand, the damage to the political ecology during Zhang Lu was too serious.
In the chaotic times, the order that the government should be responsible for was gone, which gave Zhang Lu a place like the gray sect to survive. Perhaps people in later generations could not understand why superstitious thoughts were there, but in fact, no matter what era people were, in addition to material needs, there were spiritual needs. After eating and drinking, if they could not find any place to place their spirit, they would be easily tempted by some things and some people...
Although Zhang Lu's unity of politics and religion can be easily ruled to some extent, it has many disadvantages, and the effect it brings is a serious foolish people. This is even more cruel than Confucianism. After all, it is covered by the glory of the gods and is difficult to look directly at. Just like extreme exploitation hidden under freedom, absolute obedience hidden under the collective, etc., with a layer of outer robe, it will always confuse some people's perceptions.
Therefore, Li Dian was stationed at the intersection between Hanzhong and Shangyong.
Not only is the Shangyong Mountain Road difficult to pass, but the city is relatively scattered. It is better to use the Han River as the defense line, set up layers of levels, and build a solid strategic depth. Even if the Cao army is an elite in a hundred battles breaking through the first line of defense, there is a second and third line of defense. After repeated obstacles and weakening, when waiting for the Cao army to really reach the Hanzhong Basin, it is most likely that it is exhausted and difficult to fight again.
Cao Zhen saw that Li Dian was so strict and he was also a maze.
As a last resort, Cao Zhen turned around and repaired the relationship between the Liang and Di people, indicating that all the previous conflicts were Li Dian and everything was created by the spies of the cavalry. But that's it, whether anyone believes it is another matter.
Of course, if Cao Zhen did not do this, if the Liang Di people were angry, they would instead surrender to Li Dian. At that time, the Cao army would be troubled everywhere in the mountains and forests of Shangyong, and then Cao Zhen would definitely be difficult to walk on the road. Although the Liang Di people's combat effectiveness was not high, it was like a fly, and buzzing and flying around was enough to make Cao Zhen feel a headache.
According to the conventional strategy, Cao Zhen stayed in Sandian County, rested the soldiers and stored food and fodder, and sent envoys to persuade Li Dian to surrender. Cao Zhen also knew that Li Dian could not surrender, but what if? Even if Li Dian did not surrender, if he could get apart, or if the news was transmitted to Sichuan or Guanzhong, resulting in the change of generals at the last minute, it was also the result of Cao Zhen's favorite.
However, Li Dian obviously did not take Cao Zhen's trick. Not only did he save the envoy and rushed back, but he also expressed his strong battle to wait for Cao Zhen to fight.
Seeing that Li Dian was strong, Cao Zhen could only lead the army to march Mulansai.
On this day, Cao Zhen secretly brought some people to check.
Mulan is blocked between the Han River and Chongshan, and the terrain is quite dangerous.
I saw that deep in the winding mountain road, Mulan Side stood among the steep mountains, like a beast entrenched in the mountains, showing ferocious fangs to any enemy who was trying to cross.
As we approached the military camp along the winding mountain road, the road became more and more rugged.
The stone walls of the military camp are towering and are made of rough stones. They have obviously been a few years ago. They have been eroded by wind and rain. The moss is everywhere, but they still stand hard.
The wall is built against the cliffs and stone walls, cleverly making use of the steep terrain, greatly enhancing its defense.
Cao Zhen looked at him, his brows became tighter and tighter.
This kind of military camp is the most troublesome.
Below the military camp are stone steps excavated on the entire stone. Due to long-term walking and trampling, the edges of the stone steps have long become round and smooth. There is no problem with daily walking, but if you say that you are attacking in an array...
Cao Zhen seemed to be able to foresee that if he really attacked the military camp along this stone staircase, every step might have to pay the lives of many Cao's soldiers, and the stone stairs would probably be stained with blood.
Mulansai's village door is thick and sturdy, with iron hoops on it, huge iron nails and iron bars, demonstrating the sturdy structure.
Above the village gate, a defender seemed to have found Cao Jun who was peeping at the military camp on the hillside, pointing at Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen estimated the distance from him to the opposite side and found that it exceeded the range of Cao's scattering aircraft...
『Tsk…』
If Li Dian had been tricked to attack at that time, that would be great...
But now, if you really want to fight...
Cao Zhen summoned his military academy officers and said, "The mountain road is dangerous and narrow, and soldiers are very tired when fighting in danger. Now, only by looking for another way to get around this block, can we attack in one fell swoop."
Of course, this strategy is not wrong, but who will be allowed to implement it?
Cao Zhen looked around and felt a little worried.
"Master, why don't you... look for Shen again, can you contact any guides around you?"
Someone suggested.
Cao Zhen frowned and thought for a moment, and nodded.
There is no way, now a dead horse will be a living horse doctor.
...
...
The order is sent back to Shangyong.
Shen Dan was in Shangyong's guarding, and was in a panic and a little at a loss.
The Shen family is a noble family in Shangyong and Xicheng, and is unique in the local reputation and power.
Such regional powerful landlords are born from the land.
Generally speaking, the smaller the landlord class, the more it can throw away the burden of the region, go into battle lightly, and fight again, such as Zhang Sanye. But like the Shen family, they can't leave. Shen family has been rooted in the Xicheng area of ​​Shangyong for 30 years, and in history it was one of the longest-lived princes among the three princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, except for the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu.
This led to Shen's weakness.
Whoever touches his territory, whoever he is anxious with...
But he stopped in a hurry. He really wanted to make him stand up to kill the officials and rebel, but he didn't dare.
At most, he could only kill people with a knife and claimed to be smart.
Fei Qian also knew that the Shen family had poor initiative and only wanted to maintain the status quo, which was very unreliable. Therefore, Wei Yan was asked to train troops in Xicheng at that time. In the way Liu Bei drew Bai's Bai's Bai's Bai's military force, gradually penetrated and destroyed the military force of the Di people and Yong people, and then slowly penetrated and controlled Shangyong. Unfortunately, after Wei Yan was transferred, Zhang, who succeeded, was only fighting for power and profit, and failed to continue Fei Qian's strategy, which gave Shen a chance to breathe.
The Shen family Shen Dan and Shen Yi brothers were also quite worried about the dispute between the East and West. The key was the Tian Zheng that Fei Qian implemented. The huge loss of the gentry tyrants like the Shen family who only relied on the fields to make a living, which led to the Shen family's rebellion.
From a certain perspective, Fei Qian still has a very high tolerance for the local indigenous people, powerful people, etc. among the Han Dynasty. As long as he does not commit suicide, he will not die. In most cases, he will only slowly implement strategies and will guide them to transform.
Some gentry and powerful men saw the opportunity early and then transformed with the trend. They either turned to work and mines, or focused on animal husbandry. When these people raised their heads from the land, they realized that the world was really big, not just three inches of land under their feet.
Shen's family was quite nervous when they joined Cao.
Cao Zhen was in the forefront and Cao Ren lived in the back, and Shangyong's land became a battlefield.
Shen Dan is now sitting in the hall, stroking the seal of Shangyong Prefect, feeling upset. He has been begging for this seal for most of his life, but it is now obtained. I don’t know why Shen Dan doesn’t have much joy in his heart that he gets what he wants.
Worry about gains and losses.
Under Fei Qian, Shen Dan and others felt frustrated, feeling that although Fei Qian did not explicitly want to withdraw them, they were actually eroding their authority in the countryside. Now, after joining Cao Cao, they did not feel so happy. Although Cao Ren represented Cao Cao on the surface and said that Shen's status in Shangyong was the same, what followed was continuous recruitment, and a large amount of food and grass flowed away...
This is not only a common problem for the small landlord class, but also a problem for the petty bourgeoisie, and even the weakness of most middle-classes.
This is the case with Shen Dan. When he is in danger, he will think about hiding. He feels that the land that his ancestors have finally accumulated has been hard for so many years. He should have a good rest and cannot just lose it so easily. However, he has been guarding the land and feels that he is full of talent and no one pays attention to it. He is depressed and unsuccessful. In addition, Zhang Ze was killed back then, and Shen was somewhat implicated and has not been able to enter the core of Hanzhong. Naturally, he is dissatisfied.
It is easier to blame others.
However, after Shen stepped into the battlefield, he was afraid of heavy and picky, and then he became timid again.
If Cao's army was unstoppable, Shen Dan could not agree and would recognize him, and would expand his territory by the way. However, now Cao Zhen was blocked by Mulan Village, Shen Dan began to mutter in his heart. He spent a lot of money and food, and even his younger brother was injured. The Cao army had not yet been able to conquer Hanzhong...
After thinking about it, Shen Dan called out the chapter.
Chapter was originally from Zhang Ze's clan, but later Zhang Ze fell and died, and the Zhang family scattered like birds and beasts. Zhang Jie changed his name to Chapter and joined the Shen family to avoid disaster. Shen Dan felt that Zhang Jie was handsome, sharp and knowledgeable. In addition, Shen family was also very frightened at the time and always thought of another way, so he left Zhang Jie.
"Now that Cao's army is blocked from Mulan Village, what can Brother Zhang do?" Shen Dan asked directly without too much concealment.
The Zhang Jie family was defeated and went to Shen's place to take refuge. They didn't think that it was because their family had stood in the wrong team before, and they were foolish in their desire to fight for power and profit. Instead, they felt that they had been scouted and deprived of their wealth and were completely innocent victims. Naturally, they were full of resentment towards Fei Qian and the political group under Fei Qian. They often criticized and insulted. Now when Shen Dan asked about this, they naturally tried their best to think and plan for Cao's army.
"My benefactor, this time, Prime Minister Cao ordered General Cao Zixiao to march into Hanzhong, which is indeed a good opportunity and cannot be missed," Zhang Jie said slowly, "Li Zhe guarded Mulansai, but it seems to be sticking to the key points, but in fact there are many loopholes!"
"Oh?" Shen Dan felt energetic and asked quickly, "How can I explain this?"
"Mulan Village can stop the army, but it can't stop the team!" Zhang Jie sneered on his face, "If military goods sold in the past were all gone to Mulan Village, wouldn't they not be able to go to Shandong at all?"
When Shen Dan heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Oh, that's exactly that!"
But after a moment, Shen Dan said hesitantly: "How come Cao... Cao Zidan is in a quarrel with the people in Liang Di... Most of these mountain roads are under the people in Liang Di...
Zhang Jie smiled and said, "The Lord of Benevolence is too much. The Di people are foolish, they do not distinguish right from wrong, they only ask about gold and silver... and then they say that General Cao Zidan killed the king of the Di people in Liang just because he was domineering and rude, and insulted Prime Minister Cao and said that it was not for the Di people. Then he wanted to choose another king of the Di people in Liang, afraid that no one would come in a hurry?"
Shen Dan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Sir, it's true that this plan is great!"
As long as Cao's army opened up the Mulan Pass, it would go to Hanzhong and the Shen family could follow behind to get some bargains, without having to transport food and grass endlessly like the moment...
As for whether this strategy is really wonderful, it is actually not that important.
...
...
Cao's army killed many Di people.
The bones are not cold.
Now in this situation, can you still ask the Di people for help?
Zhang Jing beat his chest and said that everything was wrapped around him.
Because he knew that the Di people actually did not have the concept of right and wrong.
Of course, this can be said that the Di people do not have much cultural knowledge and do not have the basis to distinguish right from wrong, but in fact, even those who have been educated in later generations may not have some concepts of right from wrong.
If your own money is stolen, you will naturally be scolded. But if you steal something from others to use, it is called "take" or "borrow". After all, can the affairs of scholars be called stealing?
The Di people did not have much traditional culture. Their world was divided and was limited by the mountains and forests. Therefore, for the people of Liang and Di, as long as they could bring money to the village, they would be good people.
After Li Dian arrived in Nanzheng, he was both angry and beaten the Di people. Of course, those who were closer to those who were willing to cooperate with the Han people were the Di people. As for those who hated the Han people like Liang, they would naturally be suppressed.
For the people of Liang Di, the one who is good for their own copycat is the good people.
Therefore, Li Dian is a bad person.
The Cao army wanted to attack Li Dian, so they were good people, but Cao army killed the king of Liang Di people. In theory, it would be equivalent to asking for enemies of Liang Di people?
But if this person wants the death of the Liang Di king, will it be beneficial to some Di people?
Cao Zhen was not familiar with these Di people, so he was difficult to distinguish between eyebrows and beard, but Zhang Jie was familiar with these Di people.
Therefore, when he arrived in front of Cao Zhen's army, he happened to take a photo together, and Cao Zhen immediately entrusted with important tasks.
Zhang Jie immediately took the wealth and found the leader of the Di tribe, Big Eye.
Zhang Jie knew there was a road in the mountains, but he didn't know how to go, but he knew that the Di people knew.
Lead the way?
Anyway, it’s all about meals, it’s not shabby!
Really unlucky?
"Chief, how can you say you have a grudge against Cao's army?" Zhang Jieyi said ruthlessly, "This is the leader of the gang! Leader, think about it, what good will it do to you if the domineering King Liang were still alive?"
"Oh?" The leader of the Di people was a little confused.
What does this have to do with the benefits?
What is the benefit of Cao's army killing people?
"Chief, look, if you want King Liang to be less arrogant and arrogant," Zhang Jie said with a reasonable and well-founded statement, "Will you be killed by Cao's army? No, so the mistake is to ask King Liang, not Cao's army!"
"Huh?" The leader of the Di people felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It’s like buying defective items on online shopping. Who’s fault? Is it the seller or the buyer? But why when the buyer finds the seller, someone will say, “Who told you not to see clearly”, “Who made you greedy for cheap”, “Is that thing worth so serious?”, “It’s not easy for someone to open a factory”, “The customer service lady didn’t eat your rice either”…
The key is that these guys don’t even know whether the customer service is a real young lady…
Yes, these are all reasons, and they are all reasons that can be explained carefully. Just like Zhang Jie said that the Liang Di people were domineering and arrogant, but what is the connection with Cao's killing?
If there are so many domineering people in the world, can Cao's army kill? Or will Cao's army only kill domineering people, and no one else can kill?
But the problem is that the leader of the Di people has never read books and doesn't know many big words, so he really doesn't understand what logical relationships are. After listening to Zhang Jie's words, he felt that something was reasonable, but he also felt that something was wrong, but he just couldn't figure out what the key was.
"Isn't it very good now? I want the position of King Liang to be freed!" Zhang Jie continued to clamor, "If Cao's army didn't kill King Liang, would you have a chance?"
『Ah?』The leader of the Di people's head is still covered in mud, 『What chance?"
"Of course it's the opportunity to be the new Di people king!" Zhang Jie slapped his hands and was very excited. "Look, Cao's army now wants to find a way to bypass Mulan Village. Who is the most familiar with the mountains and forests around this? You are the only one! What is this not an opportunity? As long as you seize this opportunity and lead a way for Cao's army, Cao's army will not be rewarded by merits. Wouldn't you just want the new King of Liang? What is this not the best opportunity? It's once-in-a-lifetime!"
"Ha?" The leader of the Di people widened his eyes, "But, just lead a way? Can he really be the king of the Di people?"
Zhang Jie smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm just taking a way."
lead the way.
Chapter completed!
