All this depends on Zhuge Liang's teachings and the development of the situation during the Three Kingdoms period. In the last years of the Three Kingdoms, wars were frequent, plagues were rampant, and the population was declining. Even aristocratic families were struggling to survive. The three kingdoms all attached great importance to population growth.
Human resources definitely come first.
Why was Shu able to fight against Wei's twelve states with one state? It didn't rely on manpower. What's more, it was also governed by the moral model Zhuge Liang. Therefore, in Liu Chan's mind, failure in the war was not terrible. As long as the people were preserved,
Liu Chan can fight again.
However, the defeat of the war must not be stated openly, and Zhongshu Sheng would certainly advise him if he saw it, so Liu Chan secretly sent someone to give this imperial edict to Yue Fei.
Hu Kang's expression was full of shock. As a scholar, how could he not know what the royal family of the Song Dynasty was like? The current imperial edict made him somewhat doubtful of its authenticity. However, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it seems that there has never been a false imperial edict.
matter.
Yue Fei smiled secretly in his heart. He had the same look when he saw this imperial edict for the first time.
There is no way, it's just that Zhao Gou's image was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people before, but now Liu Chan has been replaced, everyone is a little uncomfortable with it.
"In that case, it is up to the general to speak kindly for us in front of His Majesty. We will definitely live up to the general's love." Hu Kang said with a smile.
"rest assured."
When Hu Kang walked out of the military camp, he was surrounded by a large group of people. These people were all from the rebel army, wearing tattered armor, and their eyes were full of expectation. They were eager to know where their future would be.
Hu Kang's eyes were a little red, but he still said coldly: "General Yue asked us to guard the west gate. After this battle is over, we will be credited with a great merit and will be presented to His Majesty. But if anyone is not careful then,
If you lose the city gate, don’t blame the ruthless military law.”
The ordinary people in the rebel army were immediately shocked: "How can your Majesty still know about us?"
"Go, go, look at you, how could His Majesty know you."
"As good as you are."
"Better than you anyway!"
"Looking for a fight, right?"
"I'm afraid of you!"
A group of people suddenly became noisy. The group of people who were still worried about the future felt much relieved when they saw Hu Kang's expression. The colder Hu Kang's expression was, the more they knew that this matter would definitely succeed. If Hu Kang looked happy
came out, they had to worry about whether Hu Kang had sold them out. They didn't understand anything, but they knew by looking at Hu Kang's expression that Hu Kang would not abandon them.
"time to eat."
Suddenly, the group of people dispersed, and Hu Kang immediately laughed and cursed: "These bastards! They don't know how to wait for me."
Hu Kang was originally a young man from a wealthy family. He loved reading, was good at charity, and often helped the people in his neighborhood.
In his hometown, he is often called Hu Shanren. The invasion of Jin soldiers and the robbery of his hometown are just eight short words in the history books, but they are filled with displacement and mourning. How many people who could have lived a happy life have died.
How many people have turned from ordinary people into vicious bandits. The people in the north cannot understand this unless they experience it themselves.
Compared with the disasters suffered by the people of the Song Dynasty when the Jin soldiers invaded, the lives of the people now can be said to be very happy. Without comparison, there is no harm. Don't persuade others to be generous without suffering.
Hu Kang's parents were separated from him during the war, or were killed. Because he didn't know whether the two people who were burned beyond recognition were his parents. In that case, Hu Kang could only live with his hometown family.
The familiar companion staggered away towards the south.
But it is a pity that he is not ruthless enough, and there is still a trace of kindness in the troubled times. Although the two people brought enough food, because of Hu Kang's help, the refugees frantically besieged them, trying to rob them of the remaining food. He
Seeing this, the companion kicked Hu Kang directly into the refugees, scattered half of the food, and then fled.
Poor Hu Kang, he almost lost his life because of this. He was covered in injuries and even had many tooth marks. Later, he met a group of people who were also hungry and fleeing people. Those people stared at him like wolves.
Hu Kang looked at him as if he were a piece of meat. Hu Kang was afraid, and he ran away despite his numb scalp, and finally fell down.
Fortunately, there was a heavy rain at night, which woke him up from his deep sleep. He laughed a lot, picked up his empty luggage and walked towards the north.
From then on, there was no longer a good person in the world, only Mr. Kang who was ruthless and ruthless.
The next day, the Jin Army's attack was no better than before. It seemed that yesterday's attack had caused the Jin Army's momentum to plummet. Coupled with the exhaustion from consecutive days of fighting, the Jin Army's siege today seemed weak.
Seeing this, Yue Fei personally led the reorganized two thousand cavalry to attack the enemy camp again. With his superb penetration ability, this time, he directly suffered a battle loss of 1 to 5. The Jin cavalry did not dare to fight with them. Yue Fei
The cavalry led them to crush the Jin infantry hard, almost pressing them to the ground and rubbing them. The Song army's momentum became more and more fierce, and the Jin army's mentality almost collapsed.
Zongxian was very angry and said to Han Yan: "You fucking losers have all lost your face. You can't even defeat a little Yue Fei. The Jin cavalry is embarrassed. I don't even know your brother Han Changjiao."
Why do you dare to entrust the cavalry to you? You have completely disgraced the Kingdom of Jin."
The deputy general comforted him: "General, I don't blame them. Yue Fei is really too strong."
Zongxian became even more angry when he heard that, pointing at his nose and scolding: "Damn it, I haven't told you yet. How the hell did you lead the army? You can't even defeat the group at the West Gate, that group of trash. You damn
Mom is worse than trash."
"General, our army is not strong enough and its morale is too low." the deputy general explained.
"It's sluggish. Your soldiers have not climbed up the city wall, but they have already climbed up the city wall. You actually sent part of your troops to attack. Won't you press forward with full force? Have you never fought in a battle? Do you think you have no problem!
I think you have the biggest problem of all the people! You have low morale, you are just making excuses for yourself..."
Zongxian continued to curse for almost half an hour. Taking advantage of the lieutenant's lesson, everyone was so frightened that they lowered their heads and did not dare to reply, for fear that Zongxian would transfer the firepower to their heads. But who would have thought that Zongxian would see it?
Looking at their quail looks, they all laughed in anger.
"You guys are really good. Damn it. Tomorrow, you will directly attack me with the entire army. If you don't take Yancheng, you will not withdraw your troops without asking for money." Seeing everyone's silence, Zong Xian shouted: "Do you hear me clearly?"
"Listen clearly, hear clearly."
"You heard clearly and you haven't gone back to camp to prepare. What are you doing standing around here? Send the order to the troops, call for gold and withdraw the troops!" Zong Xian's anger was almost overflowing, and his hair was floating a little.
On the third day, the Jin army stormed the west gate of Yancheng. The west gate almost fell, and Hu Kang and others almost died in the battle. When deputy general Yao Zheng led his troops to rescue, he did not expect the Jin army to feint a shot and directly attack the east city.
The East Gate was captured, and Yue Fei personally led troops to rescue him, and then the East Gate was regained.
On the fourth day, the Jin army's attack slowed down slightly.
On the fifth day, the Jin army did not attack and only harassed at night.
"General, the enemy is resting today. I'm afraid tomorrow will be the final blow of the Jin army. The offensive will probably be more fierce than before. Our army is starting to run out of troops. Tomorrow will be very difficult." The secretary reminded beside Yue Fei.
Yue Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "You are talking about conventional military tactics, but the Jin army did not capture it for four days. This was a huge blow to the Jin army's psychology." Yue Fei pointed at the map and said.
: "Furthermore, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian are almost approaching Shunchang, the home base of the Jin Army. Can Zong Xian not be anxious?"
"In this case, the Jin soldiers are even more determined to attack Yancheng! We have already reached this point, what are we waiting for if we don't attack again?"
"It's a pity that the general coming from the opposite side is Zongxian. If Jin Wushu had come in person with his army, he would definitely not have left unless he captured Yancheng. Do you think it is more important for Zongxian to capture Yancheng now, or to rescue Jin Wu as soon as possible?
Skills are important.”
The clerk was thoughtful, and Yue Fei continued: "Even if they capture Yancheng, they won't have much time to stay. So why do they have to fight so hard to capture Yancheng?"
"But after Yancheng was captured, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and other troops were left alone!"
"But this was Jin Wushu's idea, not Zongxian's. Now in Zongxian's eyes, capturing Yancheng will inevitably lead to the loss of troops, so it is better to go to rescue Jin Wushu, so that the merits and demerits can be balanced." Yue Feiqing
He smiled and said, "Jin Wushu has no problem with strategy, but he does not understand the psychology of his generals. Who dares to put the commander in danger during the battle and then go and perform meritorious service himself?"
Yue Fei chuckled, but he saw the clerk staring at him with a strange look on his face, and suddenly looked embarrassed. He couldn't help it, and this was a decision made by his coach himself. The only blame is that Jin Wushu didn't dare to gamble
, dare not gamble with his life.
Yue Fei did not expect that his words would be repeated again in the future, but the protagonist of the story was changed.
"It's time to let the soldiers take turns to rest. After tomorrow, it's time for us to take the initiative to attack."
