Chapter 1332 Changes


    Autumn came unknowingly. The first batch of newly paid autumn grain was in place. Yuan Shao, who had been waiting for many days, immediately distributed it to the front line, and arranged for transshipment along the way, so that the grain and grass could be distributed to the soldiers as soon as possible. , At the same time, he said that more food and grass will come in the future, which relieves the worries of the frontline soldiers. Not only that, Yuan Shao also sent a group of newly recruited soldiers to the frontline of Yijing, making it clear that he wants to completely solve Gongsun Zan''s situation.


    With money and food, and new reinforcements, the morale of the soldiers in Jizhou has improved a lot. Yan Liang and Ju Yi respectively commanded the troops, half of them, and surrounded the city of Yijing tightly.


    Wen Chou was at the rear, firstly to defend Yuan Shao, and secondly to prevent someone from attacking Yan Liang and Ju Yi from the flanks. How can we relax when the army is outside?


    In the early morning, when the thin morning fog had not completely cleared, the middle-level military academies of the Jizhou Army had already gathered in front of the tents of Yan Liang and Ju Yi respectively, waiting for orders.


    Ju Yi squinted, glanced at the Yanliang camp in the distance, snorted slightly, then stood in front of the formation, waved his arms, and shouted loudly: "Today the city will be broken! If you can''t break the city, you **** See you soon! Do you understand me!"


    "Understood! You can''t break the city, come and see me!" The middle-level generals in the formation shouted loudly.


    "I didn''t hear it! I didn''t eat the **** thing!" Ju Yi spit.


    "You can''t break the city, come and see me!" the generals shouted, stretching their necks with their veins exposed.


    "Siege!" Ju Yi waved his hand, and then began to assign tasks...


    It is not yet the turn of the task. The newly assigned military officer, after hearing Ju Yi''s mobilization order, couldn''t help but miss a few beats of his heart, and his hands and feet are slightly numb. Is General Ju Yi going to be serious?


    It’s not going well, so I have to come to see you first. If Yi Jingcheng is easy to attack, it won’t be delayed until today...


    The new military officer saw a senior military officer in front of him, so he hurried over and smiled shyly: "This old brother, this old brother, please stay..."


    "Huh? What''s the matter..." The old soldier turned his head, looked him up and down, and said calmly.


    The new military marquis fumbled in his arms, took out a small bag of dried meat, gritted his teeth, and stuffed it into the hands of the old military marquis, "I''m new here, I don''t understand something, I want to ask my brother a little bit ..."


    The old soldier was not too polite, he untied his pocket and smelled it, then nodded and put it in his arms, smiled a little more, and said: "You are welcome, you are welcome, what''s the matter, just say it, everyone is Bro..."


    "This... this, brother, just now General Ju said that the city will be destroyed today, and... and if this is what, I really have to come to see you..." Xin Junhou said a little nervously.


    Old Army Hou chuckled: "Brother is new here, right?"


    "Huh? Yes... I''ve just been here for two days..." Xin Junhou said.


    The old soldier patted the new soldier on the shoulder, and said: "For the sake of my brother, let me just say a few words... Have you seen that side?"


    The old soldier pointed to the other city wall of Yijing and said: "Just keep an eye on that... If someone goes up that wall, but we don''t, then wait to be whipped... If the city is broken by that side first, and we don''t If we can''t break it, General Ju will really chop off our heads..."


    Which side of the city wall?


    Isn’t that where General Yan Liangyan is in charge?


    When the new military officer turned his head, he saw that the old military officer had already moved forward, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, brother... What if we attacked first, but which side didn''t make it?"


    The old soldier looked up to the sky and gave a haha, and said: "Then you can drink wine, eat meat, and watch the people on the opposite side get whipped..."


    The new army waited and seemed to understand something...


    Compared with the Jizhou soldiers under the city, the pressure in Yijing City is extremely high. Compared with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan''s life was much more difficult. If he hadn''t hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Yi Jing earlier, he might have fallen already.


    The population of Youzhou was not comparable to that of Jizhou before, and after Gongsun Zan’s reputation in Youzhou plummeted, Yuan Shao blocked him in Yijing City and beat him to death. Not many people in Youzhou were willing to continue to support Gongsun Zan, such as money and food. Don''t even think about it...


    "General, the only solution is now..." Guan Jing gritted his teeth and said, "You can send those who dare to die to break out and ask for help..."


    "Ask for help? Where can there be reinforcements?" Gongsun Zan shook his head and smiled wryly.


    Guan Jing said in a low voice: "General, there is one more, but..." Guan Jing pointed to the north.


    "Hmm..." Gongsun Zan closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then opened them again after a while, and said two words in a deep voice, "It''s not right."


    "General!" Guan Jing wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Gongsun Zan.


    "Hu Zan, the generation of hog dogs! It''s useless to use them, but if you use them as a aid and let the Hu bandits side, wouldn''t it ruin the reputation of a certain life?" Gongsun Zan looked up at the sky, and said slowly, "A certain The young man is determined, willing to protect the country with his own body, to pacify Youbei. After many years of hardships, countless people have followed a certain border to the death! If you bend your knees and beg for harm, what face will you have to meet again! Even if you lose today, you have a clear conscience! Don''t bring it up again!"


    "General..." Guan Jing was speechless.


    Gongsun Zan patted Guan Jing on the shoulder and said, "Ten years ago, you were a white-faced scholar, and now you are weathered... If things go wrong, when the city is broken, you can lead the army to break through. The head, will not hinder you..."


    Guan Jing made a deep obeisance: "General! I only hate a certain poor intellect and can''t help the general... As the saying goes, when a gentleman is in danger, he must share the same difficulty. How can he be alone? I wish to follow the general in Jiuquan!"


    Gongsun Zan helped Guan Jing up, patted him on the shoulder, and did not persuade him anymore.


    ………………


    The early moon leaps up, accompanied by the moonlight rippling in front of the hall, the crabapple in the corner of the courtyard is slanted, the breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and if there is nothing, it adds a bit of quiet sound.


    "Gongsun will soon be defeated..."


    After today''s discussion was over, Cao Cao left Xun Yu behind, and invited them to dinner. After dinner, Cao Cao ordered some more drinks, and the two chatted about family matters. After chatting for a while, Cao Cao remained silent for a long time and dared to Say that sentence just now.


    When Cao Cao received the news, his hands trembled for a long time. Although he ordered it to be kept secret, Cao Cao also knew that it would not be kept secret for long. The gentry also had news channels for the gentry, so this matter will always be known to others.


    Cao Cao thought for a long time, thought about many people, and thought about a lot of things, just like thousands of hemp ropes entangled in one place, he had no clue, so he called Xun Yu to hear his opinion.


    Xun Yu nodded, indicating that he heard it, but he didn''t speak immediately, but murmured, as if he was thinking about something. Cao Cao didn''t want to disturb Xun Yu''s thoughts, so he held the wine bowl silently, but didn''t drink it.


    After a while, Xun Yu slowly opened his mouth: "My lord is worried, but is it General Yuan?"


    Cao Cao put down his wine bowl, showed a bitter smile, and said, "This is not what it used to be, and Yuan Benchu ??is not what he used to be..."


    Xun Yu was silent for a long time, then suddenly brought up a seemingly unrelated topic: "It is said that General Zhengxi went to Longyou in Guanzhong to appease the Qiang people, crusade against rebels, settled the border, and measured the acres of land, granted the people real estate, and established new fields. Government, garrison the land to reclaim wasteland, and have a bumper harvest this autumn."


    Cao Cao didn''t seem to mind Xun Yu''s escapism, but said along the topic: "Not only that, General Zhengxi this time, it''s simply... a big deal..."


    Xun Yu nodded, sighed, and said, "I never thought Zheng Xi would be so courageous..."


    Tian Zheng! Xiqiang!


    These two things are more or less clear to those with a discerning eye, just like the two big abscesses of a big man. If they are touched, not only will they hurt to death, but they will also become dirty on their hands.


    Xun Yu was born in a Yingchuan family, so he naturally knew something about this matter, but Xun Yu didn''t have any way to change the situation until General Zhengxi was born...


    Amendment of Tianzheng, just like the implementation of the Tweeting Order for the elimination of feudal vassals, is beneficial to the country, but it is also something that is hated by people. Tian Zheng, at first some people were waiting to see a good show, but the result left many people speechless.


    Xiqiang has been ups and downs for many years, rebellion is uncertain, good times and bad times, it has become a chronic disease. At first, many people didn''t think there was anything special about Zhengxi''s move, but after a period of time, they suddenly found that Zhengxi Not only has Sanfu been settled, but Longyou has also basically settled down.


    In fact, most of these things were done jointly by Li Ru and Jia Xu, but in the end they got the support of General Fei Qian of Zhengxi, but for these people in Shandong, this matter naturally counts Just go to Zhengxi''s head.


    The Han Dynasty, in fact, has been circling in misunderstandings on the issue of Xiqiang. In fact, it is not fighting with the Xiqiang people, but fighting with these heroes and leaders of Xiqiang.


    These Qiang people are handsome and powerful leaders. When they won the battle against the Han Dynasty, they plundered wantonly. , even if a batch of leeks from the handsome and handsome Qiang people were harvested, they would grow one crop after another, and the fundamental problem could not be stopped at all.


    Because the big Han has always regarded the powerful and handsome Qiang people and the ordinary Qiang people as a whole, so when they fight and kill, they are all ordinary Qiang people, and the handsome and handsome Qiang people often run away early However, when pacifying and soliciting, the money, food, and property given by the court often fell into the hands of the powerful and handsome Qiang people, and the ordinary Qiang people did not get any benefits from the Han Dynasty at all, so naturally they would not treat the Han Dynasty. And half respect and gratitude.


    But these Qiang people''s heroes and leaders all know that the reason why the Han court has always rewarded them is because the court wanted to appease them from rebellion, so these people naturally became more and more arrogant. It is a moderate provocation to the court, but it will make the court more worried, and they can get more benefits from it.


    Xiqiang rebelled repeatedly.


    But now, Zhengxi''s strategy treats ordinary Qiang people and Qiang people''s handsome leaders separately. All the members of the tribe directly under the headman were taken back to work as laborers. These are the intended meanings, nothing unusual, but what is strange is that Zhengxi divided half of the captured cattle, sheep and other property to ordinary Qiang who did not participate in the rebellion People, not like what people like Wei Qing did back then, no matter who they are, as long as they are Qiang people, they will all be harvested...


    Just such a small change, many people didn’t understand it at first, thinking that Zhengxi’s move was a waste of property and useless, but as time went by, ordinary Qiang people knew that they would not be like the handsome headman. As I said, seeing the Han people all die together, on the contrary, those who try to rebel against the leaders who are domineering every day are even more unlucky to die, and if they don’t follow suit, ordinary Qiang people can still get it from General Zhengxi. Cattle and sheep, if these cattle and sheep were robbed, the Han people would even send troops to **** them back again!


    Things turned in an interesting direction. Coupled with the accumulated word of mouth in Pingyang and a large number of Qiang people like Baishi Qiang who originally agreed with Han culture as a bridge of communication, a large number of new small-headed people replaced the previous ones. Gathering big men, big men, these new little heads almost overwhelmingly support the policies of General Zhengxi, and even take the initiative to cooperate with the actions of General Zhengxi''s troops, so that the scope of Zhengxi''s control continues to extend to Longyou...


    Things are actually very simple, but when no one makes it, other people don''t even think of it, just like when Qiao Gangzhu was the first to make a mobile phone without number buttons, everyone''s eyes widened, so it can be like this!


    At the same time, because of the success of the Qiang people, it in turn promoted the promotion of the new Tianzheng in the Sanfu area of ??Guanzhong, forming a very peculiar status quo. The handsome and handsome leaders of You and Xiqiang were very moved almost privately when they talked about General Zhengxi. Everyone gritted their teeth and burst into tears, but in front of outsiders, they all gave thumbs up and praised each other...


    There is no way, the ghost knows that if my words are not good, they will be stabbed out by these lowly **** as evidence of rebellion against General Zhengxi, so that they can lead the soldiers of Zhengxi to carve up their own family property.


    You must know that General Zhengxi can discuss many aspects, except for the matter of rebellion. They all fled to the mountains, and they were also found out and destroyed. Therefore, these gentry clansmen were moved and moved, but they dared not move. In the past, I dared to move because my subordinates could inspire a large number of ignorant farmers or herdsmen. The law does not blame the public, but now these mud legs under my subordinates know the benefits of General Zhengxi, who else can inspire them? Who is moving and who is not courting death?


    Therefore, Xin Tianzheng seemed to be gradually spreading in the Sanfu area of ??Guanzhong amidst the voice of "cheers and support"...


    The corners of Cao Cao''s mouth curled up, he laughed, and said: "This guy, really... I knew this guy was a cunning... Haha, you might not believe it when I first met Zhengxi back then. , this guy actually took some fake incomplete badges to meet Cai Zhonglang...I didn''t expect that now...hahahaha, he really did better than me!"


    Cao Cao raised the wine bar slightly, as if to respect Zhengxi, then drank it with a grunt, and said: "I have thought about what Zhengxi did, but I can''t follow it... Yanzhou has been fighting non-stop for the past few years. , the common people died and fled, and the rest are mostly tenant slaves of the powerful families here in Yanzhou. If I follow the method of conquering the west, I am afraid that I will soon... Haha, the situation is also, the time Yes, people too! It should be clear!"


    Xun Yu also silently raised the wine cup, followed by Cao Cao and drank it down.


    Cao Cao put down his wine bowl, his eyes drifted, "However, Wen Ruo, what do you mean..."


    Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu didn''t say this just to praise General Zhengxi, Fei Qian. Could it be that he suggested an alliance with General Zhengxi, or that he wanted to direct Yuan Shao''s attention to the west?
