Wan Shi's performance in Versailles once again left Guo Jia speechless.
Daqian had great advantages in occupying the desert. Not only did he have the advantage of cavalry, but he also had the advantage of farming. When he and Xi Zhong traveled to places like Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou, they found that there were a lot of livestock on Daqian's territory. In a place like Mayi that has been run for more than 10 years, each family will have several cattle and horses, and even a small flock of sheep. It can be said that the people in Mayi are the most prosperous people he has ever seen. Wealthy people.
Then, as soon as Youzhou came into the hands of Daqian, Lei Gong brought millions of horses and cattle to Youzhou and distributed them to the people. Therefore, Youzhou's grain output increased year after year. The same routine followed in Jizhou and Yanzhou. Guo Jia estimates that even if there are not tens of millions of horses and cattle on Daqian's territory, there are millions of cattle, which is equivalent to tens of millions more labor force in Daqian! And their number of cattle in Qingzhou is only 10 Wandu doesn’t have it, the gap is too big!
But he didn't know that Wan Shi really thought this way. One hundred thousand large animals were not that many at all. Daqian had opened up the trade between the desert and Hebei. The prices of cattle and war horses had plummeted. Now a single healthy cattle in Hebei is not worth it. It only costs 3,000 yuan, and the Fuma only costs 4,000 yuan. The number of 100,000 cattle seems to be large, but it only costs 300 million yuan. Of course, Daqian has to pay for the transportation costs himself, and Xu Wei wants to be fast. To restore the vitality of Yanzhou, a 5 billion Yanzhou development bond was issued! Three hundred million dollars to buy these cattle is nothing!
But this was just a bolt from the blue for Guo Jia. Daqian had spent such a high price, and Yanzhou's vitality would definitely recover soon. I'm afraid that the war would start again in less than a year. What Guo Jia is worried about now is the attack of Daqian's army. The direction is Qingzhou or Sili. If it is Qingzhou, I am afraid that their fate will not be much better than Yuan Shao. These generals who have just been exchanged may be captured by Dagan again!
Because Guo Jia knew that this time the coalition forces fought in Yanzhou, all three families suffered heavy casualties. Cao Cao was better off and lost not even 50,000 troops, but this was of no use because Cao Cao was the weakest among the three princes of the Han Dynasty. Yes, now the strength of the Yuan family and Liu Bei has been severely damaged, and they will not be able to recover for less than 3-5 years. Even if Qingzhou suffers small losses, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the Daqian Army!
In the next three years, the Daqian army will take the initiative in the war. They will attack whoever they want. The princes of the Han Dynasty cannot do it if they want to unite. No matter whether it is Yuan Tan or Liu Bei, they have to do so in recent years. Trying to find a way to regain his strength, he could only passively wait for Da Gan's attack.
With this worry, Guo Jia came to Changyi, and was then taken to see Xu Wei by Wan Shi!
At this time, Changyi had become a huge construction site in the future. The brick city walls that Yuan Shao had built at great cost in recent years were being demolished by soldiers led by Xu Wei. By the time Guo Jia arrived in Changyi, the entire outer wall of Changyi had been demolished. All that's left is the base.
Guo Jia was shocked and said: "Why should such a strong city in Changyi be demolished?"
At this time, Xu Wei came to Guo Jia and said: "After the emergence of artillery, such cities have no longer much use, and the city walls of Changyi were built by local people at a huge cost. Now we remove these bricks and use them for Yanzhou The people rebuild their homes, which can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people!"
Ordinary soldiers were divided into several teams by Xu Wei and helped the local people rebuild their homes in various places in Yanzhou. Starting from the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Dynasty was in chaos for more than ten years. During these ten years, the princes from all sides were busy fighting for hegemony and had no time to care about Yanzhou. Various infrastructures. Later, after Yuan Shao occupied Yanzhou, the local people spent half of the year helping Yuan Shao build Wubao. The water conservancy facilities, roads and bridges in various places were even more abandoned, and the dilapidated water conservancy facilities were also in disrepair in recent years. The reason why drought in Yanzhou becomes very serious!
Now that Xu Wei has occupied Yanzhou, in addition to allocating fields to local people, what he has done most is to repair local water conservancy facilities, help local people rebuild their homes, and build community-style settlements like those in Daqian. But back then, Yuan Shao Xu Wei dismantled all the raw materials used to build Wubao, and turned the bricks into people's houses. Now the people of Yanzhou happily turn Wubao's bricks into raw materials for building their own houses every day.
Guo Jia thought of the scene of the Daqian artillery attack. Indeed, no matter how strong the city was, it would not have much effect. But when he saw Changyi City with only its base left, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that this city was born at the wrong time!"
In Guo Jia's opinion, Changyi and Dingtao are the strongest cities in the history of the Han Dynasty. If there are no artillery, they can only be conquered by besieging and depriving them of food. There is no other way, and even if they are affected by artillery, , but it no longer hinders its status as a fortified city. It would be a pity to demolish it like this.
I even think that Lei Gong cut off his arm. Although he is powerful, it does not mean that the Han Dynasty will not counterattack Yanzhou. I just don’t know what Lei Gong should do if such a thing really happens!
But Guo Jia suddenly remembered that Lei Gong had hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If the big man really fought with Da Gan in the field, he would probably laugh to death!
He could only sigh helplessly and said to himself: "The desert will not be chaotic, and Daqian will be invincible in field battles!"
Xu Weidao said: "There is nothing to regret. If this city is demolished, tens of thousands of people can live in solid brick houses. This is much more useful than a solid city! No matter how solid the city is, it will be broken, but as long as the people We can unite as one and resist the enemy even without a city!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang built the city of Nanjing, he built Nanjing extremely solidly for the safety of future generations. He even used the Qin Dynasty's naming system to prevent defective products. Each brick had the name of the craftsman. Nanjing The city walls are strong enough to withstand modern heavy artillery and can stand for more than 500 years.
But no matter how strong the city wall is, it is useless. The Nanjing city wall has never resisted the enemy since it was built. No matter when Zhu Di attacked Nanjing or Boar Skin attacked Nanjing, Nanjing's city wall did not play a role!
Guo Jia looked at Chang Yicheng who had disappeared and sighed: "Yes! The geographical advantages are not as good as the people. Mencius has said it a long time ago, but it is a pity that people nowadays are not willing to listen!"
Xu Wei sneered and said: "Because it is easy to build a physical city wall, it can be built successfully in a few years or even ten years at most. Just like this Changyi, it only took 3-5 years to be transformed by Yuan Shao, and it was not Yuan Shao who was affected. He knew that he and his men did not need to come here to build the city wall, and he did not need to care about the number of civilians killed or injured.
But building an invisible wall is difficult. Not only does it cost a lot, but it is also easy to waste all your efforts. You have spent hundreds of years working together, but it only takes one prodigal son to completely destroy this trust, so no one is willing to build an invisible wall.
!”
Guo Jia thought about it and it was really like this. Back then, the former Han Dynasty contacted four kings who cared about the people. They pushed the prosperity of the Han Dynasty to a climax. The Wenjing rule emerged and helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lay a solid foundation. However,
Just a prodigal son named Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty. This shows that this invisible city wall can be destroyed too easily.
Guo Jia looked at Xu Wei and saluted and said: "I have learned a lesson! But since the ruler knows that it is difficult to build an invisible city wall, why should he make enemies of the nobles in the world for the sake of these people? As long as the ruler changes his ways, I am afraid that the world will have been captured by the ruler.
Got it!"
Xu Wei laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "Mr. Guo Jia, do you want to betray Cao Cao?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Jia does not have such thoughts, he is just curious about the idea of governing!"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "The two most powerful forces in the world, one is the power of the nobles as you said, but there is another one that is ten times or a hundred times stronger than the nobles, which is the power of the common people. I choose the strongest
Isn’t it natural for a great person to come and seize the world?”
Guo Jia was dumbfounded. He found that this really made sense. He couldn't refute it at all! Then he wondered why heroes and heroes for thousands of years ignored such a powerful force, but when Lei Gong got it, he became like this.
Powerful, powerful cannot be destroyed at all!
Xu Wei pointed to the east and said, "Xiahou Dun and his friends are renovating their houses in the east of Changyi. If you want to see them, go ahead!"
Guo Jia was surprised and said: "General Xiahou is a hero after all, but you actually asked him to repair houses when you were in power!"
Xu Wei said indifferently: "This is why everyone's standards for heroes are different. You think Xiahou Dun and others are heroes, but we don't think so. Did he do anything that benefited the country and the people? He saved a few people, if
If you haven’t done any of these things, and you can be considered a hero, how can it be that the generals of the Han Dynasty have also begun to imitate the civil servants and praise them to become famous!”
Guo Jia said angrily: "Then what is the standard of a hero in the eyes of the ruling party? Who among us can be called a hero!"
Xu Weidao: "Duan Xi fought in Xiliang for ten years, ensuring the stability of the Han Dynasty and allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Such people are real heroes! It's a pity that such heroes died at the hands of petty officials. Although Emperor Ling had some political struggles,
They use various methods, but they don’t have the knowledge to recognize people, and they waste such a heroic figure in vain!”
In Xu Wei's view, if Emperor Ling makes good use of Duan Xi, Tan Shihuai may rise, not to mention pose a huge threat to the north of the Han Dynasty!
Guo Jia nodded, Duan Xi, one of the three famous people in Xiliang, is quite worthy!
In fact, if this dynasty had not valued literature over military affairs, a world-famous general like Duan Xi would not have been so unknown. He was not even as famous as the eunuchs of the same period, let alone compared with famous people like Sanjun and Balong.
.
Xu Wei continued: "Gongsun Zan fought against the northern nomads with a tough attitude, fought bravely, and shocked the border areas, protecting the safety of the people of Youzhou. Unfortunately, he killed innocent people indiscriminately, and many barbarians even rebelled because of him.
Those who are forced out are considered half-heroes according to my standards!"
Guo Jia nodded when he heard this. Gongsun Zan has been resisting foreigners and can be considered a hero. It seems that Lei Gong thinks that killing the people of the Han Dynasty is not a hero! Gongsun Zan can only be counted as half because he killed too many people. It seems that Lei Gong hates killing very much. , even for barbarians.
Xu Weidao said: "Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was lenient and benevolent when he was guarding Youzhou. He appeased the people and won the hearts of the people. He advocated a gentle policy towards the local Hu people. Even the Hu people admired him very much. There were also Huangfu Song and Zhu Zhu. Jun, when Cao Cao and you so-called famous generals were killing the Han people, Liu Yu was trying to save the people. He settled in Youzhou and made the price of food in Youzhou lower than that in Jizhou. The population of Youzhou was also The growth has more than doubled under his governance. Although he is weak, his flaws are not concealed. He can be regarded as a hero!"
Finally, Xu Wei said: "There is also Liu Bei, your big man. In the past ten years or so, the world has been in chaos. All the heroes have been magnifying their desires and killing ordinary people. But only Liu Bei has been thinking of ways to save people for more than ten years." , even though he has become a general now, he has not changed his original intention. He transformed barbarians into Han people in the south of the Yangtze River and expanded the civilization of the Han Dynasty. He can be regarded as a hero, but it is a pity that he is restricted by his status as a Han clan clan member!"
"And your lord Cao Cao has outstanding talents and strong action. He changed all the policies I implemented in Hebei over the years and implemented them in Qingzhou, so that Qingzhou can support an army of 200,000. I can't do this." No, it's a pity that he only looks at the results when doing things, regardless of the process, which is too radical.
You widows in Qingzhou were all forced to ration soldiers by Cao Cao. Even if the soldiers died in battle, he would let the soldiers' wives remarry. This completely cut off the incest and separated the wives. Moreover, this time to seize Xuzhou, even his own allies Damn it, he acts unscrupulously like this, he can’t be considered a hero, he can be considered a capable tycoon!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Guo Jia was speechless again. Compared with the characters Xu Wei just mentioned, Xiahou Dun has almost no deeds to say.
Of course he could say that when Xiahou Dun was fourteen years old, someone insulted his teacher, and he killed that person. But the situation was too small, and he was embarrassed to say that it was a heroic deed.
When Cao Cao raised troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army, Xiahou Dun accompanied Cao Cao in the expedition and served as his assistant general. After the coalition against Dong Zhuo was formed, Cao Cao used General Fenwu and appointed Xiahou Dun as his commander. He followed Cao Cao to Yangzhou to recruit troops. After Cao Cao established his power, he sent Xiahou Dun to garrison Baima. Soon he was promoted to Lieutenant of the Chongxiao District, and became the Governor of Dongjun County. These were all things that happened during the civil war in the Han Dynasty. Even Lei Gong looked down upon these deeds.
According to Lei Gong's standards, he found that none of the soldiers captured by Lei Gong were really heroes, not even Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao was known as a model in the world, everyone knew that the Han Dynasty had become torn apart, and Yuan Shao and his son had to pay a lot. If they hadn't been so ambitious and wanted to dominate the Han Dynasty, they would even burn down the palace, destroy the empire, and trample the prestige of the entire Han Dynasty under their feet.
The whole world will not enter the end of the world, and Yuan Shao has not done anything outstanding in these troubled times. Whether he is dealing with the Yellow Turban Army or forming the Kwantung Allied Forces to fight Dong Zhuo, he is always a loser, and now he is captured by Lei Gong!
At the beginning, among all the forces in the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family was the strongest. Yuan Shao had already made preparations before everyone thought of fighting for hegemony. However, such a powerful Yuan clan had been almost defeated by Yuan Shao. From this point of view, Yuan Shao
