Chapter 93: Three Strategies to Ping Jing and Xiang
If you ask Fei Qian of later generations to face a provincial official, Fei Qian's legs will probably tremble. But now in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian feels that he doesn't feel much nervous when facing a person of the same level.
You must know that Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng will have jurisdiction over an area far larger than a province in later generations. In the later period, except for parts of Nanyang County and Jiangxia County, the rest include Nanjun, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha
The county capital was basically in his hands. He was known to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to make friends and show their friendship over and over again. He was the number one figure captured by the political and military power.
Fei Qian didn't know why. Maybe it was because he knew through history that although Liu Biao was powerful, he was still not as good as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan. Maybe it was because Fei Qian had no intention of staying with Liu Biao for a long time...
Fei Qian was already prepared for Liu Biao's question. As he spoke, he took out four pieces of paper from his sleeves. He unfolded the first piece of paper first, pointed to the word "profit" at the top and said: "Please, Governor."
look--
"The land of Fu, Jing and Xiang has rich products, convenient water and land, a large number of commerce, no Yellow Turban chaos, and a style of poetry and calligraphy..."
As Liu Biao listened, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. Yes, these are the advantages of Jingxiang, but how can knowing these help me master Jingxiang?
Fei Qian was not in a hurry, and after explaining the advantages of Jing and Xiang, he put it on the table, and then unfolded the second piece of paper, only to see that this piece of paper had a big "disadvantage" written on it.
"...However, Jingxiang is an important area, and there are clans and thieves who are causing trouble. The relationship between the nobles and clans is complicated. Although there are many soldiers, they rarely go through battles. Although there is enough food, it is difficult to store public warehouses. Although the orders are good, they do not reach the counties...
…”
Anyway, when analyzing this article, the most basic point is to tell it as bad as it is. Fei Qian saw Liu Biao's expression becoming more and more serious the more he talked about it, and knew that the heat was almost there, so he put down the second piece of paper.
, unfold the third piece of paper——
Liu Biao looked quickly and saw the word "machine" on the header of the third piece of paper...
Fei Qian then said calmly: "...the imperial court is currently in constant disputes and has no time to care about the local area. The Jingxiang clan's thieves have been decided for the first time. The people of Guizhou are thinking about stability. Although the nobles are close friends, they have their own plans. The poor people want to surrender but have no way to seek help..."
As he spoke, Liu Biao's originally serious expression gradually opened up, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Yes, these are the best opportunities at the moment. If we can seize these, we can hold this great territory of Jingxiang in our hands!
Liu Biao nodded frequently, as if he had already seen a wonderful vision of the future...
Okay, Fei Qian looked at Liu Biao's expression and knew that the effect was almost done, so he put down the third piece of paper and unfolded the fourth piece of paper——
Different from the first three pieces of paper, which had many words written on them, this piece of paper only had six words besides the word "Struggle" on the header, namely: Nanyang, Jiangxia, Shizu.
Fei Qian explained: "Nanyang originally belonged to Jingxiang, but now it is occupied by others. To the north of Nanyang is Heluo, there is no room left, so sooner or later we will undoubtedly fight for Xiangyang——"
"The governor of Jiangxia has been stationed for many years, has deep roots and broad prospects, and has sufficient troops and supplies. It is impossible to cut off urgently..."
"As for the noble clans... There is no need to say too much about this. Presumably Governor Liu has been in contact with him for a long time... These are the three troubles of Jing and Xiang. If the fight is unfavorable..."
Fei Qian didn't finish what he said, and he didn't need to finish what he said. He just put the fourth piece of paper on the table, then took a step back to give Liu Biao some time to understand and think.
Indeed, Jingxiang is like this at the moment. It is blocked by Yuan Shu in the north, blocked by Jiangxia in the south, and there are many noble families inside and outside Jingxiang, and the relationship is as close as a spider web - if anything goes wrong with any of these three things, it will be a disaster.
Big problems will lead to Liu Biao's complete defeat...
That's right, Fei Qian used the S.W.O.T analysis method to give Liu Biao a road show. Anyway, later generations will do this. As a senior person in the office, Fei Qian is really proficient. He will do it once every ten days and a half. To put it simply
It means giving a small candy first, then giving a slap in the face, then giving a larger candy, and then giving a hard slap in the face. Basically, this process can completely blind people...
After Liu Biao listened, he fell into deep thought. It was not that he didn't know these questions, but no one had ever put them in front of him one by one in such a clear and clear way, which made him feel suddenly enlightened and at the same time, he felt that he was in danger...
Liu Biao's eyes went back and forth over the four pieces of paper. The more he looked at it, the more it made sense. The more he felt that he had grasped the tail of success. He just needed to work harder to subdue it, but he just couldn't grasp it.
It seems a little slippery, and I don’t know where the next point of strength will be...
Liu Biao raised his head and found that Fei Qian had been standing respectfully. Suddenly, his anger towards Fei Qian's previous acting disappeared. He guessed in his heart that this person was quite polite now, after all.
Being young and talented, it is inevitable to be a little energetic, which is understandable. Alas, forget it...
So Liu Biao quickly invited Fei to take a seat and asked someone to serve him some dried fruits, cakes, tea, etc.——
After everyone retreated one after another, Liu Biao smiled and said: "Zi Yuan is indeed full of knowledge. What he just said is really accurate and hits the point. But - if it is according to Zi Yuan's intention, how should the expression be now?"
Fei Qian was about to stand up to answer, but Liu Biao stopped him repeatedly and asked Fei Qian to sit down and speak with a smile.
So Fei Qian thanked Liu Biao and said, "If you want to achieve great success, you can do three things."
Liu Biao said: "I would like to hear the details."
"The hidden name is 'purify the face, strengthen the body, and build up momentum'——
"When the governor first arrived, he was from aristocratic families and down to the head of Guizhou. He had not yet heard of it. He didn't know his origins and he didn't know whether he was qualified or not. Therefore, the top priority of the governor was to eliminate the shortcomings of the predecessors, clear up the corruption of the officials, clean up the appearance of Xiangyang, and publicize the hometown. This is a short-term
'Purify your face'..."
Liu Biao nodded repeatedly and said: "Good! But what is 'strengthening the body'?"
Fei Qian said: "The local people in Jingxiang must be used by the governor, but they cannot be used more than once. Therefore, it is necessary to imitate the Imperial Academy, establish Piyong, recruit doctors, and recruit students, so that they can be used by the governor. This is to 'strengthen the body' in the mid-term...
"
Liu Biao gave a high-five and said: "Good! Great good! I would like to hear the strategy of 'gaining momentum'!"
"Lian Kuai, Ji Cai, Tong Ma, Jing Pang, this is the trend of building up the gentry; recruiting clan thieves, selecting elite soldiers, making good weapons, training warriors, this is the power of building troops and armor; encouraging farming and mulberry, expanding the country
Fertile fields, protection of trade routes, and opening of more markets are the means of accumulating money and food! These three are the means of long-term 'gathering of energy'!"
As Fei Qian was talking, he stood up and said to Liu Biao, who was getting more and more excited the more he listened: "If these three trends are achieved, they will be caused by passing the list and pointing out the soldiers. Those who obey will obey, and those who don't --"
Fei Qian made a downward movement, then raised his hand to Liu Biao and said loudly: "At this point, the governor will definitely be able to conquer the Central Plains, leave his name in history, and take control of Jingxiang!"
