The southern boat and the northern horse, each has its own strengths.
Regional limitations significantly restrict the campaign.
This is the reason why the Prime Minister did not adopt Zheng Pu's suggestion and did not intend to use the prisoners of the Wei army to fight in Jiaozhou.
Although there was a precedent in the past when General Fu Bo, Ma Yuan, went deep into Jiaozhou and quelled the Lingnan rebellion. But for the soldiers north of the river, the sultry climate, widespread miasma and rampant poisonous insects in the Lingnan area of Jiaozhou were still a loss without fighting.
The place with the highest probability.
It can be called a place of no return that makes northerners talk about it with disgrace.
Zheng Pu, who once accompanied the army to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong, could not have known this.
But knowing this, but still continuing to make suggestions, is because he doesn't care about the life or death of these Wei army prisoners.
Or, in other words, he did it to prevent the Han Dynasty from getting into a shortage of food and crops in advance, and to not delay the plan of returning the old capital.
As a planner, you must think carefully when making plans.
Since he claimed that the attack on Wu was to induce the Wei army to come for a decisive battle, when making the suggestion, he naturally had to consider that there were only 60,000 Guanzhong troops on the surface, but in fact there were nearly 90,000 Guanzhong troops with reserved food and fodder.
When the amount of grain cannot be increased, the most effective way is to reduce the loss of grain by the new army formed by more than 30,000 Wei prisoners!
Yes, Zheng Pu's hidden intention was to use these Wei army prisoners as consumables in the war.
Due to the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, there is no desire to capture Jiaozhou.
Just like the Han Dynasty recovered the Hexi Corridor a long time ago, but no one had the idea of marching into the Hetao Plain, taking Jiaozhou now is to sacrifice the good and the weak, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The army had no advantage and could not move. Jiaozhou, which was located on the border and far away from the Central Plains, could not help the Han Dynasty's plan to return to the old capital.
On the contrary, the big man was just wasting his limited manpower and material resources and doing useless work.
From a strategic point of view, the purpose of driving troops into Jiaozhou was to attack the east and attack the west, and to contain part of Jiangdong's troops in Jiaozhou, thereby making the war in the three eastern counties or Yong'an go more smoothly.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that Zheng Pu planned to march into Jiaozhou with the prisoners of the Wei army.
If more than 30,000 Wei prisoners come in force, Jiangdong will definitely be able to send equal or more troops to Jiaozhou for defense. In this way, the Han army's strategic goal can be achieved; some of these Wei prisoners will die in battle, and some will be damaged in the battle.
....
As more people die, the loss of food and fodder will naturally decrease.
As for whether such a ruthless approach will cause the Wei army prisoners to rebel~~
No need to worry. At this time, Zhang Si
For one thing, by the time they had a vague realization, they had almost returned from the war.
We only need to fulfill the promises and rewards made before the war to those who are still alive, and who will care about the dead?
Secondly, even if they want to rebel, where can they go?
In a barbaric land like Jiaozhou, they were far away from the guides and generals of the Han Dynasty, and it was difficult to find even a village. They would also face the fate of death due to unsuitable climate and lack of medicine.
There is no need to think about defecting to Jiangdong.
Jiangdong didn't even show sympathy to its own soldiers. If they defected, they might as well stay in the Han army!
Finally, why should they give up halfway!
There have been many casualties, and it is about to usher in the dawn of the Han army fulfilling its promises and rewards. Why should the lucky ones who are still alive give up at the last moment?
Living in troubled times, human life is inherently worthless.
When they were Li Shu, they had to fight hard to even feed themselves. As prisoners with no future, why didn't they fight with the determination to die! In any case, the taxes and corvee of the Han government were much higher than those of Wei or Wu.
Much more frivolous, if they can become Han people, at least they can have enough food and clothing to survive...
If you understand the human heart and human nature, you will be confident.
Zheng Pu, who was always ruthless and did not care about his feathers, chose the former between the benefits of returning to the old capital and the life and death of the prisoners of the Wei army.
But the Prime Minister will not. Force sacrifice Read sacrifice
At that time, after realizing Zheng Pu’s intention,
He then changed the topic so that Zheng Pu would no longer have the opportunity to discuss this plan again.
Because he knows that Zheng Pu's temperament is really too stubborn!
There is no need to give him the opportunity to make noises and chatter endlessly.
The prime minister, who was like a fish in water with the late Emperor Liu Bei, felt that since these Wei army prisoners had been incorporated into the army, they should be treated as Han soldiers.
If you want to gain the power to kill someone, you should first feed them and undress them.
Furthermore, in order to invade Jiaozhou and divide the troops east of the Yangtze River, the only way to do this is to take prisoners of the Wei army.
In the seven counties of Nanzhong, there were countless barbarian tribes willing to fight for the Han.
Moreover, Shen You, who had come from Wu County before, had been living in Jiaozhou under the pretense of being a merchant in his early years. The Jiaozhou righteous men under his command were even familiar with the powerful rightists and barbarian tribes in Lingnan counties who did not submit to Jiangdong.
Let him serve as a guide and serve as the front for Ma Zhong and Huo Yi's Nanzhong troops, which will definitely cause chaos in Jiaozhou.
When Wu general Liao Shi rebelled and occupied Linhe County, Wu Dang and Wu Shushan, a Han official from Jieyang in Nanhai County who wrote books and came to the temple in Chengdu, could also help the Han to turn the entire Jiaozhou into a corrupt land of Wu.
So, why should the lives of tens of thousands of Wei army prisoners be regarded as trivial?
Not to mention, it is not easy to invade Jiaozhou from Nanzhong.
In the previous battle of Yiling, the then-president Ben Dao-level chewer Zhi Tun also made preparations to march from Nanzhong to Jiaozhou to coordinate the late emperor's attack on Wu. However, after the late emperor was defeated and returned, he was still limited by the difficulty of traveling on the road and the difficulty of transporting heavy supplies and grain.
But not moving.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
Although thanks to the trade with Wu State in recent years, the road has become much smoother, and there are Jiaozhou martyrs under Shen You's command as guides, it is still not an advisable strategy to invade Jiaozhou with tens of thousands of troops.
At least the Prime Minister doesn't think it's feasible.
Therefore, the prime minister's plan was to return to Hanzhong County and take charge of it, and Yang would move a large army out of the three eastern counties, and ordered Jiangdong to deploy heavy troops in Jingxiang to guard; and then send Ma Zhong, Huo Yi and Shen You to send about 10,000 troops into Jiaozhou.
, forcing Jiangdong's troops stationed in Jingnan to go south to Jiaozhou to fight fiercely.
In this way, Jiangdong's defense in the Yong'an area was naturally weak.
It can also allow Zheng Pu, Guan Xing and others who brought the prisoners of the Wei army back to Shu to collect and practice martial arts, find opportunities to create Jiangdong in one fell swoop!
It even made the Wei army think that the Han Dynasty had used half of the main force in Guanzhong to defeat Wu!
The Han Dynasty attacked Wu on three fronts~~
As for the issue of the shortage of food and fodder, the Prime Minister has also thought carefully about it.
Regardless of whether they leave the three eastern counties from Hanzhong or enter Jiaozhou from Nanzhong, the initiative of when to launch a war lies in the hands of the Han Dynasty. Let the captives of the Wei army return to Shu and practice martial arts while cultivating the fields until the generals are enough for them to fight.
After cultivating the grain, you can start a war.
Maybe when we send troops from Yong'an, we can still take advantage of the enemy!
Zheng Pu didn't know the prime minister's thoughts.
Having resigned from the post of supervising the affairs of Longdong, he has taken a break and is hurrying to Luomen, Hebei County to gather at his family home. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
But he soon became upset.
When he hurried back with a tired body and full of expectations before entering the courtyard of his house, a child playing on a bamboo horse asked him in surprise, "Who are you?"
Immediately, he threw away his bamboo horse and ran back, "Mom, a bad guy has entered the house!"
