Then Guo Jia took out a volume of books and said: "This is the experience I wrote after traveling in Hebei for several years, observing and summarizing Lei Gong's experience and policies in governing in Hebei. This will not only allow the lord to quickly understand Lei Gong's strength."
, we can also let my lord learn from Lei Gong’s policy and use it in our Qingzhou!”
When Cao Cao heard about it, he immediately took the book and put it on the eucalyptus table and started to read. Xun may also be watching. In fact, he has always been very curious about Lei Gong. He was curious about how Lei Gong could govern the three states without the help of the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty.
You must know that conquering the world and governing the world are not the same thing at all. Without disciples and old officials, the local government cannot even collect taxes!
Without the powerful nobles, the force supporting Thunder Lord should have collapsed long ago, but the reality is that Thunder Lord's force is getting stronger and stronger.
But when he saw Lei Gong himself training students, recruiting Li Tian, and sending soldiers to become officials, Xun Yu was amazed by these methods. At the same time, Xun Yu was surprised to find that the requirements for becoming an official were so low, as long as he knew a few words.
You can be an official, even many of Lei Gong's subordinates who are illiterate can become low-level officials.
Cao Cao read the book written by Guo Jia in one breath and sighed: "No wonder Fengxiao would say that Daqian is a brand new world. If the land of Hebei is really what Fengxiao said, it would be a completely different world. I didn't expect that Lei Gong would be like this."
So powerful, even Emperor Wu could not occupy the desert back then, but Lei Gong was actually able to completely annex the desert. No wonder Lei Gong was able to recruit hundreds of thousands of cavalry to the Central Plains in recent years. It turns out that the desert has been unified in their hands!"
Xun You frowned and said: "I saw the shadow of the Great Qin Dynasty. Many of Lei Gong's policies are the same as those of the Great Qin Dynasty, especially the strong mobilization ability and the ability to build basic projects. Lei Gong occupied Bingzhou for less than ten years, but he just
At this time, the water conservancy facilities, roads, and cities he built in Bingzhou have far exceeded that of this dynasty, and even the previous dynasty was not as good as Lei Gong. After all, Emperor Wu could not build thousands of forts on the grassland. There are only legends
Only the Great Qin Dynasty has such strong construction capabilities!"
Guo Jia said: "There are still many differences. Da Qin restricted merchants, but Lei Gong not only did not restrict, but encouraged the development of merchants. Therefore, merchants prospered in Lei Gong's territory. When Lei Gong attacked Youzhou, these merchants united to support Daqian
30 billion, and Lei Gong doesn’t pay attention to the military title system. He seems to be really influenced by Zhang Jiao and wants to build a fair world without hierarchy!”
Cao Cao sneered and said: "In a fair world without hierarchy, Lei Gong is just talking nonsense. I don't believe that his position will not give him a temple!"
Guo Jiadao: "I also think there will be problems within Daqian. Even if Lei Gong is a saint, Lei Gong's subordinates cannot be saints. They must follow Lei Gong to defeat them and they must want to be crowned kings and prime ministers. If Lei Gong doesn't give them these things,
, there will definitely be problems with Lei Gong’s subordinates!
"
Xun You stopped them and said: "Even if something goes wrong in Da Gan, it will be a long time later! But we have to face the strongest Lei Gong!"
Then Xun or said strangely: "According to Feng Xiao, the number of corvees used by Lei Gong in recent years has far exceeded that of the First Emperor. The number of corvees used by Lei Gong every year is actually millions. It stands to reason that Lei Gong uses corvees so frequently.
The people of Daqian should have been overwhelmed and fled long ago. The people in Daqian have lost all their support. Why didn’t these things appear in Daqian? Or was it even the Han people who lost their support? So that Jizhou was easily captured by Lei Gong!"
Guo Jiadao: "Although the taxes in Da Gan seem heavy, like 30% of the land tax, they only collect these 30%. There are no other taxes, not even corvees. Da Gan hires these people, and the people can leave if they don't want to do it. Even the civilian laborers who fought in the war were hired and had to be paid and rewarded. Therefore, the burden on the people in Daqian was very light. The food they grew could not only feed their families, but also go to the construction sites to make money. This made the people in Daqian Generally relatively wealthy.
The taxes of this dynasty are only fifteen to one, which seems to be far less than that of Daqian. However, there are many types of taxes in this dynasty, such as oral calculation and corvee. These two items alone are enough to wipe out the family fortune of ordinary people. There are also a large number of corrupt officials who have been added to make it difficult for the people to make ends meet, so the people can only go bankrupt and become refugees!"
Cao Cao sighed: "There is a long way to go to deal with Lei Gong!"
Xun Yu said: "Ming Gong, don't worry, we still have allies. Yuan Benchu, Liu Xuande, they are all our allies, and the noble families in the world are also our allies. As long as we unite, Lei Gong is not invincible!"
This was a reform. Xun was worried that Cao Cao and Guo Jia would become fat men in one bite and cause chaos in Qingzhou, so he simply changed the subject.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao became even more anxious and said: "Thunder Lord has sharpened his sword, but we are still fighting among ourselves. If Benchu and Liu Bei continue to fight, the world will be over!"
In the eyes of Cao Cao, the imperial court's crusade against Yuan Shu was just to scare the monkeys and to warn Yuan Shao not to act recklessly. However, Yuan Shao did not think about how to deal with Lei Gong in the three states that he occupied in the Central Plains. Instead, he wanted to go further and target the imperial court. This made Cao Cao He had a headache, and he deeply realized the tragedy of being unable to lead his pig teammates!
However, Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he said: "Although Yuan Shu is a man of great ambition and talent, he has to say that his move south to Yangzhou was a masterstroke. If Yuan Shao hadn't stabbed him in the back, Liu Yao would definitely not be Yuan Shu's opponent with his strength. Yuan Shu's power in Yangzhou and Yuzhou has been established. If he is allowed to capture Xuzhou again, Yuan Shu's dominance will be complete. Even if Lei Gong wants to deal with him in the future, it will be very difficult!"
Cao Cao mocked: "Yuan Shu has always been arrogant and has high ambitions but low abilities. Yuzhou is his hometown, and he can offend all the elders in Yuzhou. Now he is trapped in the Jianghuai land with no access. If he had not been so ambitious and tempered at the beginning. It's so bad, Yuzhou won't be easily captured by Benchu!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Guo Jia said: "My lord, although Qingzhou is safe now, Qingzhou is a dead place for us. Without a stable rear, it will be difficult for us. Defeat Lei Gong, but Yangzhou is the chosen place for the lord. Yangzhou has the natural danger of the Yangtze River. It has the advantages of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, dense water network, and natural restraint of cavalry. The only shortcoming is that the development level of Jiangdong is low, and the population and land are far inferior. Central Plains!"
"Yangzhou!" Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao and Xun or they fall into deep thought. They were also thinking of ways to solve their predicament. Just like Guo Jia said, Qingzhou is a peninsula that can easily be cut off by Lei Gong and the Central Plains. Contact, then they will be trapped in Qingzhou, but Yangzhou is too far away from them, and there is Xuzhou in the middle! Moreover, Liu Bei is powerful and Liu Yao is a clan member, and the court has righteousness. Cao Cao knows that he is very powerful. Hard to compete with Liu Bei
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "Yangzhou is still too far away, we still find ways to improve Qingzhou's strength!"
Xun You also said: "At present, our alliance with Tao Qian is the best choice! Giving up Qingzhou rashly will only benefit Thunder Lord!"
Guo Jia thought for a while and realized that he took it for granted. Now that Liu Bei has led his army to attack Yuan Shu, Yangzhou will probably be captured by Liu Bei. It is difficult for them to lure Yangzhou in Qingzhou. Instead of thinking about Yangzhou, it is better to think about how to get Xuzhou and let Qingzhou have
A stable rear!
After talking about Liu Bei, Cao Cao sank for a long time and asked: "This time the imperial court united all the princes to attack Yuan Shu, and the imperial envoys also came to our Qingzhou. Do you think our Qingzhou should send troops?"
Xun You thought for a while and said: "This is an order from the imperial court after all. We asked Zixiao to lead 10,000 soldiers to join forces with Tao Qian to send troops. In this way, Tao Qian's favor from us should not prevent us from going to Xuzhou to buy grain!"
But Guo Jia thought for a while and said with a smile: "If I were the lord, I would send an army and lead an army of 50,000 to wait for the imperial court to dispatch and besiege Yuan Shu!"
Xun You was surprised and said: "This road will cross the entire Xuzhou. With the current situation in Qingzhou, it is impossible to sustain an expedition of 50,000 troops!"
But Guo Jia laughed and said: "Yuan Shu has been spying on Xuzhou. We sent 50,000 troops to help Tao Qian, right? He should help us solve the food problem! Even when we went to Jiujiang County, we had to ask Liu Bei for food and grass.
, Our lord is so loyal to the court, and immediately dispatched 50,000 troops to attack Buchen after the court's order was issued. Shouldn't the court reward him for being so loyal? It happened that the news of the drought in Qingzhou could be passed to Liu Bei, but our Qingzhou resisted.
Shouldn't Liu Bei support Lei Gong on the front line? If this army can bring back millions of stones of grain, even if there is a drought in Qingzhou this year, we don't have to be afraid! We can even learn from Lei Gong and recruit the people of Qingzhou to build infrastructure.
Build!”
"Filial piety is a wonderful thing to say." Cao Cao's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard the country's words. This is to let others help us feed our 50,000 troops and earn some food and grass back.
After following Guo Jia's advice, Cao Cao responded to the court's call and appointed Cao Ren as a general, leading 50,000 field troops to besiege Yuan Shu, who was thousands of miles away!
Secretly, Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to preserve his strength first, and at the same time find ways to get more food from Tao Qian and Liu Bei's hands! He even worried that Cao Ren was stupid and asked Xun You to join his army!
But this made Cao Ren very helpless. He was finally able to command an army of 50,000 people, but not only were these soldiers weak in combat effectiveness, they also had to find ways to get food and grass by themselves. He even had to earn food back. Is there such a way to fight?
Tao Qian, the herdsman of Xuzhou, was originally worried that Cao Cao would be as ambitious as Yuan Shu and wanted to capture Xuzhou, but he did not expect that Cao Cao's army would not enter the city of Xuzhou, as long as Tao Qian provided some rations.
Xun You even met with Tao Qian specifically and explained that Cao Cao's trip was only to respond to the court's call to quell the rebellion and would not affect the stability of Xuzhou! He even told Tao Qian that the two sides could form a coalition and that Tao Qian could be the commander of the coalition.
Take charge! Cao Cao's only request is that Qingzhou is short of food and grass, and he hopes Xuzhou can provide food and grass for the coalition forces!
Tao Qian was overjoyed after hearing this and agreed without thinking. Yuan Shu had always been eyeing Xuzhou. When he first conquered Jiujiang County, he wanted to attack Xuzhou. Fortunately, Tao Qian reacted quickly and Yuan Shu could not succeed! What if now?
Given the opportunity to eliminate the scourge of Yuan Shu, Tao Qian would naturally not let this opportunity pass him by!
At the beginning of May, the fourth year of Chuping Period of the Han Dynasty (AD 193)
Cao Cao, Tao Qian, and Liu Yao responded to the imperial court's order and jointly attacked Yuan Shu's tribe in Jiujiang County. Yuan Shu, who was hiding in Shouchun for a while, was besieged by the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of coalition troops. This news shocked the whole world, and no princes anywhere thought of it.
, although the Han Dynasty declined, it could still recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion, and its military strength did not decline much! For a time, the newly reborn Xiangyang court regained some prestige, and princes from all over the country immediately sent envoys to the Xiangyang court.
Express your sincerity to the court.
Although Yuan Shu was arrogant and arrogant, facing the siege of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, he knew that he was no match for the imperial court, so he immediately sent his counselor Li Shu to Luoyang City to find Yuan Shao for help! He wanted Yuan Shao to see that he was a descendant of the Yuan family.
For your sake, give yourself a lift!
Yuan Shao immediately summoned important officials in the government to discuss countermeasures!
Xu You immediately said: "Although the highway and Benchu are not at odds, he is a member of the Yuan family after all, and his subordinates are also disciples and former officials of the Yuan family. If we abandon the highway like this, it will be a huge blow to you, Benchu."
!”
Guo Tu also said: "If the highway is defeated by Liu Bei, Yangzhou may be in Liu Bei's hands, and then Liu Bei will become a serious problem for the lord! We should find ways to support the highway!"
Although Yangzhou is not rich these days, its territory is really huge. Looking at the map, the territory of Jingzhou and Yangzhou occupies less than half of the Han Dynasty. If the imperial court really has such a vast territory, it can really be a tiger!
Tian Feng immediately stopped him and said: "No, Yuan Shu did not have the will of the imperial court to attack Zhou Mu. It is justifiable for Liu Bei to destroy Yuan Shu. If we support Yuan Shu, we will definitely be condemned by the people of the world! Now Lei Gong has arrived at the Yellow River. We are now
We must find a way to deal with Thunder Lord instead of spending our energy on dealing with Liu Bei, because Liu Bei will be our ally, and his strength is good for us to deal with Thunder Lord, but my subordinates dare not predict Yuan Shu's actions!"
After the fall of Jizhou, Tian Feng and Jushu returned to Yuan Shao's command, because they believed that only Yuan Shao was the most likely person in the world to defeat Lei Gong!
Tian Feng's words reminded Yuan Shao of Yuan Shu's evil deeds. He can guarantee 100% that when Lei Gong attacks him, it is when Yuan Shu attacks Yuzhou. He doesn't care about the overall situation. As long as it doesn't agree with him, he will dare to do anything.
You have to come out! And Liu Bei will fight to the death to support him even if it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty. Thinking about this, Yuan Shao realizes that he really shouldn’t support Yuan Shu!
Feng Jidao: "But if my lord just watches the annihilation of Highway Ben, the people in the world will think that my lord is cold-blooded. Seeing his brothers being annihilated like this, especially since Yuan Shu's men are all elites of the Yuan family, their demise will also be huge for the lord."
Loss!"
Xu You smiled and said: "We don't need to see this matter as a contradiction. We can recruit the subordinates of the road, which can also strengthen our strength. At the same time, we can also contact Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to forgive Yuan Shu.
One life, so that people in the world will no longer talk about being originally cold-blooded!"
