"Let Xiu Ming return to Nanzhong. One reason is that Ma Dexin led the army and no one has the prestige to guard the rear. The other reason is that in recent years, the imperial court has recruited many troops from Nanzhong for the Northern Expedition. Today's war in Jiaozhou Again, I am afraid that the soldiers and common people in the south mistakenly believe that the imperial court is not considerate of the people's strength, and is resorting to military force and conquests without end. The one who can make the soldiers and common people feel at ease is Xiu Ming. After Xiu Ming takes office, he must give priority to appeasing the common people, so that the court will not have unrest in Nanzhong. worries."
These were the words given by the Prime Minister when Meng Yan returned to Nanzhong.
This was also the biggest reason why he planned to work with Li Yi to fight for the interests of the eight southern surnames.
To appease the common people, isn't that just what they want?
Based on his duty, he transferred the advantages and disadvantages requested by the southerners to Ma Zhong. As for the result, it was a matter that everyone could work together and not he could control it personally.
Yes, the Prime Minister divided the responsibilities of Nanzhong.
For example, Ma Zhong, Huo Yi, Shen You and Shi Bao were responsible for supervising the expedition; while Meng Yan and Li Yi stayed in the rear of the town to provide logistics for the army. Even the position of Commander-in-Chief of Nijiang was transferred to them. Meng Yan is gone.
Well, now Ma Zhong has been given the arbitrary power of the fake Huangyue, and has full power to supervise the war as the general of Zhennan.
Huo Yi also resigned as the prefect of Yongchang and took General Annan as Ma Zhong's deputy. He was the commander-in-chief of the two-pronged expedition to Jiaozhou.
Such a change in position also promoted Huo Yi's desire to fight.
Isn’t the so-called Annan just Anjiao Prefecture?
Moreover, as the childhood companion of Emperor Liu Chan, when he received the edict to change his position, he also received a letter of encouragement from the emperor, claiming that he wanted to watch him guard the country like his fathers.
The meaning of this statement is almost a claim that if the Han Dynasty returns to Jizhou in the future, he will use him as its guarding general...c0m
This also allowed Huo Yi to understand the emperor's hidden thoughts.
Different from the prime minister's strategy of letting the generals in the south and central China use their capabilities to disturb Jiaozhou, Emperor Liu Chan was very much looking forward to taking back Jiaozhou, but he was just worried that he would miss the plan of the Northern Expedition, so he didn't know it.
Huo Yi felt that the troops in Nanzhong were strong enough to get the best of both worlds.
Furthermore, wouldn't seizing some counties in Jiaozhou be a better way to contain Jiangdong and allow Wu to send more troops to Jiaozhou?
Isn’t it just that the Prime Minister’s deployment has been completed?
With this idea in mind, he took the lead in claiming at the military meeting that Jiangdong betrayed the alliance twice, causing the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition to fall short. This was unforgivable! Nor could he just intrude on the enemy's rear to relieve his hatred! He should seize his counties and severely inflict heavy losses on them. The strategic purpose of sending troops this time was achieved only if the troops and horses were no longer capable of hindering the imperial court's Northern Expedition in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yan and Li Yi immediately agreed.
And he also offered the southerners’ sincerity in seeking war.
The purpose of such a war is to seize the prefectures and counties. Then the eight southern surnames will work together to raise 6,000 private soldiers to accompany the expedition, and they will also prepare their own armor and weapons, and raise a month's worth of food!
Even the leaders of these private military groups have publicly selected their candidates.
It was Cuan Gu, the captain of Shaoyi who was stationed in Xinggu County.
The deceased leader Cuan Xi was one of the young people with the best military ability among the eight southern surnames.
The Cuan family of Jianning is the most powerful family among the eight southern surnames. Even the Li family, who has taken over the position of prefect, cannot compare. With the eight families joining forces to send troops, there are nearly 3,000 private soldiers belonging to the Cuan family alone. Already.
But what if the purpose of this battle is to intrude?
They could send at most a thousand troops, and the court would also follow the system of recruiting vassals for conquest.
Such as giving them rewards for their willingness to fight for the country, and providing all supplies such as weapons and food for private soldiers.
As for Shen You and Shi Bao, one of them hopes to attack Jiangdong for revenge, and the other is eager to display his talents and make achievements. They both claim to follow the trend.
like
Mere intrusion may make those Jiaozhou nobles and barbarian tribes who come to seek support voluntarily look down upon them.
They will question whether the Han Dynasty has the strength to be an enemy of Jiangdong.
You will feel that the big man is not worth relying on.
Naturally, this will also lead to the fact that when the Han Dynasty wants to occupy Jiaozhou in the future, they will no longer have any attachment, and they will not dare to risk their entire family's wealth and life on the Han army.
The most important thing is that the South Central Division does not need to worry about the supply of food and fodder.
This is also the biggest difference between the partial eclipse in the South and the Northern Expedition, as well as the fact that Zheng Pu and Guan Xing sent troops from Yong'an and needed to establish farming for self-sufficiency first.
First, the rice fields in Nanzhong can be harvested three times a year, which is enough to ensure a worry-free food supply for more than 10,000 soldiers.
On the other hand, during the years of the Northern Expedition, no matter how scarce grain and fodder were, the imperial court never raised grain or fodder from the south.
Because when the grain was transported from Nanzhong to Bashu, half of it was lost along the way. Then it was transported to Longyou or Guanzhong, and the soldiers and civilians who transported the grain could eat up all the grain!
The Five Feet Road in the south is no less difficult than the Golden Ox Road in northern Shu.
Therefore, during the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, in the past years, the Han Dynasty only recruited troops, relocated households, and conscripted materials such as cattle, Yunnan horses, gold, silver, pills, and lacquer to the south.
Everyone is looking forward to a battle, and it is hard to disobey the consensus.
But what really made Ma Zhong make his decision was the result of a private discussion with Meng Yan after the military discussion was over.
He asked about the Prime Minister's deployment in Guanzhong.
After learning that the Northern Expedition still had 90,000 troops hiding in Guanzhong, he also vaguely speculated on the prime minister's potential intention of using troops against Jiangdong - in order to induce Wei Yongliang's main force to come spontaneously for a decisive battle.
In other words, no matter how the southern and central divisions fought, it would not affect the overall plan of the Northern Expedition.
It may even be beneficial!
Jiangdong has already joined forces with Wei~
As long as the left and right of Jiangdong are attacked and the enemy is constantly urging Wei to send troops to relieve the pressure, wouldn't it be a benefit to the Northern Expedition?
Furthermore, since the Nanzhong Division has the strength and ability to relieve the country's worries, why should we pin all our hopes on Zheng Pu, Guan Xing and others?
"Although Huang Quan was lost, Hu Du was restored. This means that there is no shortage of virtuous people in the world!"
In the past, Huang Quan's intelligence was the highest among the scholars of Bashu. The late emperor ranked him alongside Huang Quan and encouraged and expected him to become the mainstay of the Han Dynasty.
The memory of the late Emperor is still in my ears!
Now there is a letter from the Emperor’s fake Huang Yue again!
How could Ma Zhong be willing to be mediocre and wait for the news from Zheng Pu and others who are a generation younger?
Therefore, he was determined and agreed to everyone's feelings.
In terms of tactical planning, he also listened to Shi Bao's advice.
Taking advantage of the military strength of more than 6,000 southerners, we adopted the virtual and real approach to the art of war.
Instead, he led eight thousand soldiers from Jinxi (Panlong River) and Xisuishui (Red River) valleys south to Jiaozhi County to contain Lu Dai's tribe. He also ordered Huo Yi to lead more than 10,000 soldiers from the Zangda River Valley into Yulin County.
With the strength of Huo Yi's tribe, supplemented by Shen You's tribe who had already sneaked into Jiaozhou and some secretly attached heroes, Liu Zuan, who was guarding Yulin County, was unable to resist.
This is to regard him as the fictitious and Huo Yibu as the real.
If Lu Dai did not divide his troops to rescue Yulin County, then Huo Yi's tribe would continue to march to Nanhai County, and cooperate with the Wu Dang tribe of the Han Dynasty in the county to cut off the retreat of Lu Dai's tribe and turn Jiaozhi County into an enclave!
And Ruo Lu Dai divided his troops~
Then, he will turn from false to true along the way and drive straight into the weakly defended Jiaozhi County Sheriff._&
