After the promulgation of the order to abolish the docks, all the officials in the imperial court discussed it a lot, and they all thought that this matter was not a trivial matter. Because the edict covered a wide range of areas, not only in Hebei, but also in the counties of Longyou, Henan, where many docks were built.
Within the abandoned area, and Prime Minister Chen Chong's opinions were so firm, many officials noticed the cruelty behind it just by reading the edict. Therefore, some people say that this matter is like the Dutian Rebellion during the Jianwu period of Emperor Shizu. In the end, it was
Success or failure is really hard to say.
Chen Chong naturally understood that haste makes waste, and he directly issued the order to abolish the dock to express the court's determination to abolish the dock. In terms of specific measures, he was actually well prepared. Take a closer look.
The biggest obstacle to the implementation of the order to abolish the dock is mainly in Wangwang, Hebei County. After all, for them, the abandonment of the dock is harmful rather than beneficial, but if these famous families can be recruited in a timely manner and appeased to a certain extent, it may not be impossible to
The New Deal was implemented smoothly.
Therefore, Chen Chong took out all the surplus money from last year and planned to use it specifically to deal with this matter. When Chen Chong, the person responsible for the case, came to meet with Chen Chong, Chen Chong specifically told him that in addition to necessary killings, he should also pay attention to recruiting:
For the various ethnic groups in Hebei, they must declare that the imperial court is willing to fund compensation for their abandoned Wubao; as for the scholars who actively cooperate with the country's new policies, Chen Daoda can draw up a list and submit it to the Prime Minister's Office, and Chen Chong will select the best and promote them in order to win over the hearts and minds of the scholars in Hebei;
And don't be stingy with rewards for officials and soldiers who have made meritorious service. Only by giving both kindness and power can order in Hebei be consolidated.
But no matter how much I say it, the result will only be known after a long time. Although the order to abolish the dock was issued with great fanfare, it did not take effect overnight. The government and the public only discussed it for a while, and the relevant remarks dispersed.
What is eye-catching is the war with the Wu people in the south.
As the turmoil after Zhou Yu's death gradually calmed down, in March of the second year of Yanxi, the Wu army reappeared on the border between the two countries. This time the Wu army was divided into three groups and attacked the Han army with an army of 150,000.
Launched a fierce attack. The east route was led by Lu Meng, the governor of Huainan, with more than 70,000 troops under his jurisdiction, and they attacked Hefei from Chaohu; the middle route was led by the governor Lu Xun, who led 50,000 troops and attacked Sui County from Anlu; the commander of the west route was unexpected, and he was
Sima Yi, the former Zhennan general who defected the year before last and is now the governor of Jiaozhou, led 30,000 Jiaoguang troops to attack Ningzhou from Yushui.
This year's Wu offensive can be expected, but such a large scale also shows Sun Quan's determination to seize the territory. In contrast, the court's preparations are somewhat stretched: in Huainan, Zhuge Liang has more than 50,000 men under his command.
They were all remnants of the Battle of Jianye and were seriously short of war horses; in Nanyang, Marshal Guan Yu was still reorganizing the Nanfu camps, with about 40,000 troops, but due to Sima Yi's rebellion, morale was still low; and in Ningzhou
In Nanzhong, due to the untamable barbarians, the Xifu basically did not deploy defenses in the state. Only ten thousand people were left in the Dian Lake area. The imperial court's arrangement cannot be said to be a failure, but under the premise of occupying an absolute advantage in national strength, the Han army could
The troops deployed to meet the enemy were actually not as strong as those in the south. It is no wonder that the bureaucrats were frustrated.
But in fact, the war is not a competition of military strength, and the situation of the Han army is not as disadvantageous as it appears. After two years of rest and recuperation, the very urgent shortage of officers within the Han army has been considerably alleviated. Such as
In Dongfu and Nanfu, which suffered the most heavy losses, young generals such as Chen Qian, Fei Yi, Wen Qin, and Kufu had emerged at this time, and the quality of the army had improved quite a bit. However, the Han army was strategically on the defensive.
There is no need to accumulate a large number of troops on the front line. As long as the supply of food and supplies can be guaranteed, the Wu people will not be able to use their strength advantage in the siege. Moreover, Luoyang still has 40,000 newly-built Shanglin troops as mobile forces. Once the front line is in danger, Chen Chong will lead the army.
Help comes in time.
The only thing worth mentioning is that Chen Chong originally expected that the Wu army would continue to focus on attacking Bashu according to Zhou Yu's arrangement, so he ordered Ma Chao and others to remain stationed in the area from Jiangzhou to Baidi City. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan chose the wrong strategy and ordered Sima Yi to send troops to defend the weak area.
Nanzhong. Continuing to attack from this direction will not cause substantial harm to the Han army. The imperial court cannot make ends meet here. Even if it is completely given up, it will be embarrassing on the surface, but in fact it will be one less burden. And the Wu people
Even if Ningzhou is completely occupied, it will be difficult to cross the mountains and launch a substantial attack into the hinterland of Bashu.
Therefore, after Chen Chong received Ma Chao's military report, he couldn't help but smile to Huan Jie and others: "The southerners were already weak, but Sun Quan ignored each other and launched a three-pronged attack. In the end, only he knew whether he failed to achieve success or was able to comfort himself.
"
Sure enough, by mid-May, the Wu army's offensive in Nanyang was the first to fail. Lu Xun led his troops into Mianshui River in a large boat and occupied Yuliangzhou as he had done the year before. Then he divided his troops and marched eastward to surround Suixian County, trying to gradually occupy Handong City and control the entire Green Forest.
Mountain, in order to achieve the purpose of forcing the Han army out of Handong. However, Lu Xun was not able to convince the crowd for the first time as the commander-in-chief of the army. The various governors were unwilling to fight with all their strength. Lu Xun knew this very well, so he also
He just plundered the people in the east of Han Dynasty, and did not start trying to attack the city until April, but achieved nothing. Guan Yu only ordered Xinye Xizhen's troops to come and watch, and the Wu army relieved the siege and returned to Yuliangzhou.
Before leaving, Lu Xun also left a letter in the camp, which was specially delivered to Guan Yu. He wrote in the letter: "Two swans met in the south of Guangze. In the middle of winter, they were hungry and cold, so they couldn't
To avoid danger, they would hunt in a forest. When they caught a fish, they refused to give in to each other, and even died. Others lamented and said: The sky and the earth are so vast, but they stopped at just one fish! The swans are soaring south in the sky, how can they be trapped?
A piece of truth?"
After Guan Yu got the letter, he quickly understood its profound meaning. He made the letter public to all the generals and commented with a smile: "Sun Quan gave Lu Xun this important task. I thought he was a rookie in British strategy like Zhou Gongjin, but it turned out that he wanted to fight with me.
To talk about the expansion of heaven and earth is to make peace with me secretly and to build the boundaries together! This is not the word of a minister, but if it is beneficial to the common people, why would I not do it?" So he wrote to Lu Xun, asking him to
He can let the plundered people leave after keeping their mouths.
However, Lu Xun did not return the people, but sent people to send more than 2,000 people back to Anlu along the Green Forest Mountain as part of his own army. When Guan Yu saw this, he sent more than 3,000 people to Li Hui to cross the Bishui River and go deep into
In the Green Forest Mountain area, everyone in Li Hui's tribe was equipped with two fast horses. They traveled very quickly. They actually arrived in the morning and at night. They met Zhou Jun, the Wu guard army, on the way. The Wu people held the people in custody and it was inconvenient to fight. Li Hui was captured by Li Hui.
They were defeated in a battle and returned with the people gathered. Seeing this, Lu Xun simply retreated to Xiangyang.
On the west road, Sima Yi crossed Cenwang Mountain and entered Xinggu County, temporarily stationed in Dutang. Then he spent a lot of money and grain to reward various ministries in Nanzhong. Sure enough, Zhu Bao, Gaoding, Yongkai and other people responded, and at one time they gained a lot of people.
, the four counties of Yunnan, Yongchang, Jianning, and Xinggu, only Wang Ping's Dianchi was left. Even the three counties of Yu and Yuan still obeyed the Han order. However, the barbarians clamored and could not obey the orders. Sima Yi tried to lead the army to attack Dianchi, but unexpectedly
The moon was not falling, and the barbarians recruited could not fight for long. After the offensive came to a standstill, their fighting spirit quickly dissipated. When the rainy season entered in June, these barbarians were not subject to Sima Yi's restraints and left the team one after another, returning to their hometowns to rest.
went.
Sima Yi felt helpless, so he lifted the siege of Dian Lake and moved to occupy Wei County in the northwest of Dian Lake, intending to force the Han army to leave by cutting off food routes. However, what is ironic is that the Han army remained in Dian Lake for three years.
The supply of grain was not affected, but after Sima Yi extended the grain road, it was attacked by mountain goats, which led to the dilemma of running out of grain. In desperation, Sima Yi could only retreat to Lugao and ordered his men to farm the fields and clean them at the same time.
Shanli clearly has plans to run Nanzhong in the long term.
At this point, the Wu army's offensives on the west and middle roads have stalled, and only the east road in Huainan is still in a stalemate.
Lu Meng's intention to march into Huainan this time was to harvest compound fertilizer, and his army was the largest among the three routes. Sun Quan not only transferred the boat division from Jingzhou to help, but also all the horses captured in the previous battle of Jianye were allocated to the east route army.
.So when the army appeared under the city of Hefei, the Han army guarding the city raised their eyes and looked around. They were surprised to find that under the city there were banners all over the mountains and plains, the boat divisions filled the rivers and lakes, and the soldiers and armor were shining brightly in the sun. Their military appearance was so spectacular that it could be called the best in the history of the Wu army.
most.
When the Han army saw this, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. However, Zhuge Liang didn't take it seriously. He unfurled a banner on the city, wore a very conspicuous white uniform, and ordered his followers to beat drums behind him. According to military common sense, the commander should hide his location
, and then attacked him unprepared, but Zhuge Liang confidently surrounded the city for several weeks, which puzzled the Wu army below the city. They discussed with each other: "We all heard that Zhuge Kongming was a famous wise general in the Northern Dynasty. How could he be so violent now? Could it be that he had some strange plan?
And an ambush?" So no one dared to act rashly. When the Han army saw that their commander was so calm, they no longer felt fear in their hearts.
Naturally, Kong Ming was not simply putting up an empty city strategy. Before the Wu army arrived, he discussed military affairs with Du Ji and others, and concluded that the southerners were not good at training horses, so he sent someone in advance to inquire about the location of the Wu people's horses. After the Wu army settled down,
, he learned that Lu Meng had gathered his cavalry on the east bank of Chao Lake, so he sent a message to Du Ji where he was, and ordered him to lead 7,000 cavalry to raid the Wu army’s cavalry camp. Du Ji set out at night, marched 70 miles at night to where the Wu army’s cavalry was, and then set fire to it.
The noise and galloping in the camp really caused the Wu army to be in chaos. The ownerless horses ran around at will, which greatly disrupted the order of the Wu army and allowed the Han army to come and go freely. When it dawned the next day, the Wu army's horses were walking six or seven, and the battle
His strength was suddenly greatly reduced.
Lu Meng suffered this loss, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he observed the geographical situation around Hefei, and then said in the military meeting: "I heard that 'Fen River can irrigate Pingyang, Jiang River can irrigate Anyi', and the same is true here."
Therefore, weirs and dams were built in Feishui River, and small towns were built on the left and right sides of the weirs and dams, which flooded Hefei. Hefei became a state on the left and right sides, and the Wu boat division then moved in, forming a stalemate with the Han army.
The Han army had also seen such a water attack method. When the Han army destroyed the Eastern bandits, it relied on flooding Linzi. Now that we are facing a water attack, what method should we use to break the situation? If you like Ji Han Zhangwu, please collect it.
