As Feng Da Sima's bedfellow, General Guan knew how much Feng Da Sima valued Sima Yi.
After receiving the news that Lu Xun was forced to die, Feng Da Sima couldn't even hide his joy and couldn't help but said to General Guan:
"Today, the only person who can be called an opponent is Sima Yi."
It can be said that this person is regarded by his own Alang as the strongest opponent in the world today.
In other words, as long as Sima Yi can be completely defeated in this battle, the others will all be mediocre in Alang's eyes.
So no matter how big the risk is, she is willing to take it.
Of course, apart from that, she also did it for the Han Dynasty.
Both her father and brother died for the sake of reviving the Han Dynasty. As a tiger girl of the Guan family, she will naturally not fall behind her father and brother.
Finally, if there is still a little selfishness, it is that 50,000 elites = 50,000 young and strong laborers.
What is the concept of 50,000 young and strong laborers?
The entire Wuluhui tribe, including the sheep slaves, has a total of more than 200,000 people.
But there are only 60,000 to 70,000 people who can control the strings, and only about 50,000 of them are truly young and strong.
Dad Guan, who has the attributes of aristocrats, saw Tuoba Xianbei's 50,000 young people living outside, and if he said he didn't feel distressed, that would be a lie.
Faced with Mrs. Zuo's love for him, Feng Dashima was moved, but he was much more cautious.
If General Guan is allowed to take the risk of following him south, then he will inevitably send more troops to the desert.
And it's an army of cavalry.
We still have to seize the last moment before the snow in the desert has fully melted to send out.
In other words, almost all the cavalry of the Han Dynasty were dispatched outside the Great Wall.
This is a matter of caution.
After standing in front of the map and thinking for a long time, Feng Dashima suddenly asked:
"What do your staff think of General Zhendong's suggestion? They must have discussed it in private, right?"
The young staff officer who had been waiting in the room for the mountain commander's instructions suddenly became energetic after hearing this, and he quickly replied:
"Back to the mountain leader, when the students came over, there was indeed a noise over there."
If there is a quarrel, then there is no consensus yet.
"What do you think?"
"Students believe that Tuoba Xianbei has been destroyed, and those tens of thousands of cavalry have become water without a source. If they are allowed to enter Hebei, I am afraid that they will all be taken under Sima Yi's command."
The spread of barbarian tribes in the Central Plains is nothing new.
The most typical example is Yu Fuluo, the Zuoxian King of the Southern Huns who kidnapped Cai Wenji.
The princes of Guandong attached themselves to Yuan Shao when they attacked Dong Zhuo, but later betrayed Yuan Shao and attached themselves to Dong Zhuo, but were defeated by Yuan Shao again.
Later, he joined forces with the Black Mountain Bandits to support Yuan Shu and fight against Cao Cao, but was defeated by Cao Cao and finally defected to Cao Cao.
They travel to Taiyuan, Hedong, Hanoi and other places all year round.
It is worth mentioning that Yu Fuluo has a family and it is difficult to return, and Tuoba Liwei's third son Tuoba Chuo, who is leading tens of thousands of elites south, is homeless.
"Now Tuoba Xianbei has just been destroyed by General Zhendong. When the remnants of the army learn about this, they must have lost their will to fight. They will be defeated at the right time."
"If he is captured by Sima Yi and rested, he will definitely become a great help to the Hebei rebels."
"Hebei is suitable for cavalry. Our Han cavalry is unparalleled in the world. Although we are not afraid of them, the 50,000 barbarian cavalry cannot be underestimated."
"Even if we can defeat the rebels and regain Hebei by then, I'm afraid the war will have many accidents and will drag on for a long time."
“So in my humble opinion, instead of wasting time and effort cleaning it up later, it’s better to clean it up now.”
After listening to his student's long speech, Feng Dasima finally looked at the student seriously:
"After all, do you think General Zhendong should be sent south to pursue him?"
"certainly."
The staff officer looked at the mountain commander expectantly, hoping to get some comments from the mountain commander's mouth.
"Get out!"
"ah?"
"roll!"
"Here..."
The staff officer saw that the mountain commander had turned around and stared at the map again, and had no choice but to leave in dismay.
His frustration was not because he was scolded by the mountain chief to get out.
After all, this place is in the army, and it is full of fighting men. No matter how gentle and gentle a person is here, he can stay here for a year and a half, and he will start to talk about marrying the women of his comrades.
Being scolded and being scolded is already very gentle.
He was upset because the mountain leader seemed to disagree with him.
"Damn it, how long has it been since Youzhou was wiped out with five thousand fine knights?"
Feng Dashima clicked his tongue.
The Three Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty are in sight, and everyone, whether in government or in government, is full of energy and confidence.
I believe that the thieves must be eliminated.
Feng Dasima certainly agreed with this view.
But now this is a big battle, and the opponent is Sima Yi.
Having confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance.
adventure?
Take a shitty risk!
Feng Da Sima raised his fingers and tapped on the Juyong Pass, as if he had finally made up his mind.
"Someone is coming!"
"Chief of the mountain?"
"Why is it you again?"
"Chief, I'm on duty today..."
"..."
"Draft me a memorial, an official document, and a secret letter."
The memorial was of course sent to Chang'an.
Feng Da Sima is preparing to report to His Majesty to mobilize the northern and southern armies to go out to support General Zhendong.
The governor of the Central Protectorate was in charge of the internal and external military affairs. In addition, Feng Da Sima was ordered by the emperor to control the armies and mobilize troops before going on the expedition.
Of course, we have the power to mobilize the northern and southern armies.
The so-called petition to the emperor is just a formality.
Hearing what the mountain chief said, the young consultant who wrote the ghost story couldn't help but be startled: "Huh?"
Isn't this the advice I just told the mountain leader?
"Ah what? Why are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up, I'll read it and you write it!"
The young staff officer's eyes were filled with resentment, and he wrote silently.
As for official documents, they are for the Chancellor's desk.
The war in Hebei is likely to last longer than imagined, so Shangshutai must be prepared to continue preparing food and grass.
This actually surprised the young consultant a little.
How did the mountain chief judge that the war in Hebei would be prolonged?
But when the young staff officer heard the secret letter written outside the Great Wall, asking General Zhendong to pursue but not attack, follow the remnants of Tuoba to maintain pressure, force them all into Hebei, and never let them disperse in the middle.
Just stunned.
He raised his head and looked at Feng Da Sima, as if he wanted to confirm whether the mountain leader was wrong.
"What are you stunned for? Write quickly!"
Feng Da Sima cursed.
What is the significance of the staff group?
In addition to Feng Da Sima not wanting to die from exhaustion like the Prime Minister, he also wanted these young people selected through various channels to better integrate theory with practice.
Even though Feng Da Sima always yells and scolds, but he can actually handle various military affairs with him, the growth rate of these young staff officers is astonishing compared to those who do not have such opportunities.
How can we be pragmatic if we don’t know how to do it?
Not to mention knowledge, vision and other things that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to exercise.
There are some things that you have never been exposed to or experienced. No matter how you imagine it, it just won’t work.
It's like a farmer on the ground discussing with his court guests whether the emperor, the queen and his wife should use gold or silver hoes for plowing the fields, or whether they would get tired of eating white flour pancakes rolled with fat meat every day.
This is nothing funny.
Even in the information age, there are still people who believe that there is always a famine on the other side of the bay island, which is only separated by a strait, and even need to go to the wild to catch rats to satisfy their hunger.
Poor information is very important.
Confirming that he heard correctly, the young consultant fell into deep contemplation after finishing his role as tool man.
Except that the memorial was pretty much what I expected, the official documents and secret letters were beyond my expectation.
So why does the mountain chief do such seemingly inconsistent things?
Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting? Isn't this unnecessary?
Obviously not.
Then it's because I haven't realized the commander's foresight yet.
So, what exactly is Chief Shan’s plan?
Just when the young staff officer was puzzled and walked out with what he had written, Feng Dasima in the room raised his fingers and gently tapped Yecheng on the map with his knuckles.
The expression on his face was a little unpredictable, and he was still whispering:
"Sima Yi, I have already made a move, let me see how you respond."
Then he raised his head again, and the look in his eyes became more and more complicated, as if he was remembering, but also seemed to be mocking:
"This is a dead end that the Prime Minister couldn't break. Let me see how far you can go."
——
The news of General Zhendong's great victory outside the Great Wall was like a thunder, striking directly over Jinyang City.
It was so shocking that everyone was almost deafened.
Half a million surrendered?
Fifty thousand prisoners of war?
Are there still two million livestock guaranteed?
"Really or not?"
"The news came from the Commander's Mansion. It cannot be false. And I heard that this time, the imperial court sent out the Tiger Cavalry Army. Think about it, who in the world can stop such iron hoofs?"
"Then this is too much. Didn't Guan Zhendong capture all the barbarians in the desert?"
"Most likely, I heard that even the great Chanyu of Xianbei Hu was trampled to a pulp."
"Hey, you ignorant fool, where did Xianbei Hu come from? Do you think he is a Xiongnu? He is called Kehan."
"They are still calling you adults, why don't you call grandpa twice and listen? I don't care what his name is, they are all dead anyway!"
"I'm older than your mother! How dare you, the old lady, take advantage of me!"
"I own you..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" and was punched in the face.
"Let you take advantage of me!"
"You're looking for death!"
"Bang!"
The people of the Han Dynasty are fierce, and a fight of fists and kicks is inevitable if they disagree.
Tuoba Liwei did not expect that after his death, a fight would be triggered in Jinyang City.
Some old people also lamented:
"Ji Han is still very powerful this year! I think back then, when Emperor Ling was on the throne, he also wanted to wipe out the Xianbei Hu, but unexpectedly he was beaten to the point where he wanted to send the princess to marry him. Now that the world has not yet been unified, just
We can wipe out all the barbarians."
Someone next to me muttered:
"Emperor Ling never thought that barbarians could sell money..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless.
During the Ling Emperor's reign, he was famous for selling his official positions and getting titles.
Even if you work as an official normally, you have to pay "official fees". As a result, many officials cannot afford to pay this fee and are so scared that they abandon their official positions and run away.
However, the topic "Hu people can sell money" is just a topic for ordinary people to talk about before tea and after dinner.
But for some people, it's as anxious as burning their buttocks.
It is basically impossible to visit Feng Da Sima.
Even if Feng Da Sima is in the city now, he is still strategizing and wiping out the rebels at any time.
Who dares to disturb Feng Da Sima at this time? If something goes wrong ahead, no one can afford it.
It was also impossible to meet Prince Jun, the governor of Bingzhou.
Now Wang Ping is leading the army and is stationed at the mountain pass of Jingxing.
If you dare to ask for a meeting, you might as well be labeled as spying on military affairs.
The old rural gentry in Jinyang, headed by the Guo and Wang families, held a banquet for Zhuge Qiao, the chief historian, and other colleagues of the chief historian on the pretext of discussing spring plowing matters.
"Chang Shi, let me toast you again!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Although the army gathered in Taiyuan, the largest restaurant in Jinyang City was a happy one.
Most of the respectable old country gentlemen attended the banquet.
During the dinner, Zhuge Qiao took the initiative to mention spring plowing:
"This time the army conquered the rebels, Taiyuan was a place where the army gathered, and it had a great impact on the people."
"For spring plowing, we still need to rely on your joint efforts. I hope you will think of the people, help us more, and encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, so as not to miss the farming season."
The army marched eastward to Hebei, although not all the food and civilians were drawn from Taiyuan.
But as the front line of the expedition, it definitely has an impact on the local area, and the impact is not small.
Just like the self-defense counterattacks of later generations, other places were carrying out economic construction, and the old friends in Bagui Land were still supporting the front line, completely missing the golden period of economic development.
Afterwards, people laughed at me because I was poor. What happened to my old cousin? It’s such a sad story.
With the governor of Bingzhou leading the army on the expedition, Zhuge Changshi was the person in charge of Bingzhou's government affairs, and he must be attentive to the upcoming spring plowing.
Otherwise, even if there is a great victory in the Eastern Expedition, Bingzhou, especially Taiyuan, is a piece of cake. Others are receiving rewards for their meritorious service, but Bingzhou is not managed well, and how can we talk about Mao's future?
Even if Zhuge Changshi didn't value his official position, he still had to think about the people below him.
Not to mention that he is the Prime Minister's son, how can he smear the Prime Minister?
"How could we not know? As long as history has entrusted me, I will do my best and try not to delay the farming season."
Everyone forced a smile on their faces and responded with their mouths full.
When the words "try your best" and "try your best" came out of these people's mouths, Zhuge Changshi couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"Is there any difficulty, sir? In this farming season, we don't mean to miss it as much as possible, but we must not miss it."
It's obvious that Taiyuan Xiangxian doesn't have the dedication of his older cousins, let alone wants to become one, so he plans to cause trouble.
Now when I saw Chang Shi caring so much for the people below me, I was overjoyed and complained quickly:
Long history, the army was stationed and many local people were recruited. Although it was not hindered for a while, the war continued without a regular schedule.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid there will be more complaints from the people, and the fields will inevitably be in danger of being barren, so we must take precautions!
Although the words are a little exaggerated, they are not lies.
Zhuge Qiao also had some headaches about this.
Although the commander-in-chief of the army called him brother, it was impossible for him to run to his brother and say:
Brother, please hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult for me, brother, to start work here.
And now, facing the local complaints of suffering, Zhuge Changshi cannot pretend not to hear.
Unlike those places in Shangdang, Hedong, where the powerful were completely plowed over, Taiyuan knelt extremely smoothly in front of the Han cavalry, and even supported a lot of military supplies.
Afterwards, it is impossible for the big man to directly carry out violent and precise transformation like he did to Hedong.
Although New Deals have been implemented over the years, as the saying goes, "It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to cultivate people."
Cultivating talents does not take a day or two, nor does it take a year or two, or even ten or twenty years. The goal may not be achieved.
Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dongda carried out large-scale literacy campaigns and then expanded enrollment on a large scale. It also took decades to reap the labor dividend.
Not to mention how long did it take for Mr. Feng to go from secretly poaching the corners of a wealthy family to having the right to speak in education?
Even if the Royal Academy lectures twelve hours a day, it will not alleviate the current talent gap of the Han Dynasty for ten or twenty years.
Not to mention that among today's big men, it is popular to "get fame immediately". Compared with working at the grassroots level to gain qualifications, many students would rather go to the military to get a chance.
And now they are preparing to reorganize the Tongjunfu.
People are really being robbed everywhere.
The gap among the grassroots officials of the Han Dynasty is truly astonishing.
In a place like Taiyuan, the New Deal will definitely be implemented, but it would be fanciful to want to eradicate the influence of the powerful in the local area all at once.
Therefore, Zhuge Changshi must pay attention to the complaints of these old rural gentry.
The local virtuous people contributed their talents and effectively helped the court to ensure the logistics of the army, which is worthy of recognition.
But if you want a horse to run, you have to give it some grass.
Now the village sages are taking advantage of the spring plowing work to come here to talk about their sufferings, just to ask for some benefits.
Although Zhuge Changshi was an honest gentleman, he was not a fool. He could hear the implication of these people's words and express his understanding.
After all, even in later generations, local governments usually seek out star companies to befriend them, and they often provide preferential policies and the like.
"In the early years, the imperial court moved all the Hu'ers in Taiyuan outside the Great Wall, so the population in Taiyuan was smaller than elsewhere. In addition, in recent years, more factories have been opened in Yanmen, and many men and women have come to work."
"On weekdays, there are many iron plows and oxen, so there is no need to worry about a shortage of manpower. But now that the army has arrived, there is indeed a shortage of manpower. I hope history will tell us!"
When Zhuge Changshi heard this, he realized that this was indeed the case, so he asked humbly:
"The march of the army to the east is the most important thing, and manpower is absolutely indispensable. However, spring plowing is also an important matter for the country, and it cannot be abandoned. If the two conflict with each other, can you guys have a good plan?"
What everyone was waiting for was what Zhuge Changshi said, and he quickly answered yes, yes, yes, aren't we just short of manpower? As long as we can find people to help with the work, wouldn't it be great?
Zhuge Changshi asked again, where can we find so many manpower?
Xiangxian quickly reminded Zhuge Changshi:
Doesn’t General Zhendong have more than 50,000 laborers on hand? Chang Shi, your relationship with Da Sima is so good, go and talk to Da Sima and leave those 50,000 laborers in Taiyuan.
When Zhuge Changshi heard this, he quickly shook his head and said that the labor was for sale, and taxes had to be paid to the court. How dare he say that it was withheld?
Xiang Xian was very anxious: I didn’t say that I wouldn’t give you money, I would give you money! What’s wrong with selling? Everyone joins in, and you’ll have money!
Chang Shi, you are our parent official in Bingzhou, and you have to consider the people below.
If you have a relationship like Da Sima, you should use it!
Looking at the earnest eyes of the Jinyang officials, Zhuge Changshi thought carefully and finally nodded.
