Fazheng said: "Secondly, on the battlefield, you cannot do without generals. The so-called generals are the courage of soldiers. As the leader of an army, you must assess the situation, react wisely, and adapt to local conditions. If you save food here, you only need one. A general who is well-known, wise and brave, can be assured of an invincible position."
"Yes." Liu Xun's eyes lit up and nodded.
"The third." Fazheng had a serious look and said with great solemnity: "It is also the most important point. If you really want to hoard food and grass here, you must be prepared to be burned by the opponent. Because the opponent's army is bound to be the thunder. At the same time, the thunder and thunder is between the heels, and the moment the opponent dispatches, the rear base camp will be empty. This gave me an opportunity to send out the whole army on the premise of abandoning food and materials. , Before the enemy has reacted, quickly annihilate the enemy forces in the rear, so that the opponent has nowhere to return. In the absence of food and supplies, the morale of the opponent will be exhausted, and our army will become a big victory. Sound, its loss is nothing more than food."
"This trick is too dangerous. If it is not for a moment of distress, it is really impossible to do it." Zhuge Liang did not agree with the idea of Fazheng, and shook his head directly. It can be seen from this point that Zhuge Liang is more conservative in the use of troops and strategy, and does not like to use the sword to go lopsided.
"Break the cauldron and sink the boat, and draw a salary from the bottom of the cauldron." Liu Xun took a deep breath and said: "If this trick really works, what a loss is the mere grain and grass."
Fazheng shook his head, let out a sigh, and said deeply: "With this kind of risk, either a big defeat or a complete victory, it's just that the two armies are fighting, every step is important, and a wrong step will lose everything. With this trick, you are The army coach must have great courage and determination, and he must fight boldly before he can succeed. If he is indecisive, fearful, retreats and greedy for profit, he will miss the opportunity and put the whole army into a passive position and a life-and-death dilemma."
Liu Xun smiled awkwardly. He felt that the words of Fa rectification seemed to be aimed at him intentionally or unintentionally, but if he were himself, would he take such a big risk at the expense of the whole army? Liu Xun had no answer in his heart, so he didn't answer.
Based on the opinions of several people, it was the Fa-rectification speech that had taken the top spot after all, but the battle opportunities, the time, the right place, the harmony of people, and the elements of luck were all incalculable.
However, if it is just an empty talk, it can be determined by the fate of the war, the future victory or defeat, then what else the princes have to fight, just come to a confrontation on the tongue, and talk about soldiers on paper will not be over!
At this time, Fazheng finally expressed his doubts, "Master, you seem to have a soft spot for this place."
Liu Xun listened and laughed: "The grandson once said that if the husband has not fought and the temple is victorious, it must be counted as more; if the temple is not victorious, it must be counted as less. What do you think?"
Liu Xun didn’t speak bluntly, but Fazheng and Zhuge Liang exchanged glances, and they all understood. The lord is planning for a rainy day. It seems that the lord is deliberately using soldiers against Li Wei and Guo Ben in Yongzhou. It’s just this. It's too early to expect!
……
The victory of Hanzhong County and Shangyong County and the other three counties in the east indicated that Yizhou had fallen steadily into Liu Xun's hands. At this point, Liu Xun must concentrate on further governance of Yizhou.
The first thing Liu Xun wanted to do was to build roads, connecting Jingzhou and Yizhou with a smooth road.
Liu Xun knows that Yizhou has the richest land in the world, and a relatively stable environment, but there is a fatal factor that is extremely detrimental to the growth of talents and cultural development, and that is the problem of external relations. On the north side of Yizhou lies the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains; on the east side is the Xiangeshan Mountains; on the south side, there is the vast and undulating Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which is a veritable land of the four lands.
Even later generations of Li Bai also left behind the famous saying of "the difficulty of the road of Shu, it is difficult to go to the sky" vividly describing the dangers of Yizhou.
The connection between Yizhou and the outside world is nothing more than two channels, one is the channel between Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and the other is the connection with Jingzhou down the Yangtze River. Originally, with the arrival of Liu Yan and his son, there were also tens of thousands of families flowing into Yizhou from Nanyang and Sanfu areas. However, after Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, the passage in Hanzhong was closed due to the enmity with Zhang Lu; while the other was affected by my country. The topography is high in the west and low in the east. From the Yizhou Basin to the Jianghan Plain, the sea level difference between the two places is more than 400 feet. The big difference in sea level means that the water flow of the Yangtze River is very different. If you want to advance from Jingzhou in the downstream to Yizhou in the upstream, it will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for the shipping industry, which was not very developed at the time and relied on manpower.
The history books also record: “Xia Shui rises less than tens of meters, and it looks like a horse, and the boat people dare not enter.” At that time, people regarded the upward trend from Jingzhou to Yizhou as a daunting road, which objectively hindered Many talents have broken the path of seeking development from Jingzhou to Yizhou.
The cultural level of Yizhou is the lowest among the 13 prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although there have been talents such as Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong in Yizhou since ancient times, and there are no shortage of talents such as Fazheng, Huang Quan, and Zhang Song in the Three Kingdoms period, they are compared with Yuzhou and Jingzhou with so many talents. , Both in terms of quantity and quality, it is obviously still at a big disadvantage. (It can't be counted as Yongzhou, Yongzhou has been ruined by Dong Zhuo, Li Wei, and Guo Bin. The talents have already run out.)
The local atmosphere in Yizhou is also very bad. They have cultivated many local people’s improprieties in character, such as the righteousness of "the virtue of a meal, the grievances of the canthus. There is no vengeance"; Li Yan's "the rule of the family is still a small benefit, settle down and seek fame, worry-free The matter of the country"; Peng Yi's "Pride and pride. A lot of negligence, once above the people of the state, arrogant, self-confident."
Either be careful or arrogant. Arrogant and rude.
Fortunately, Liu Xun is in charge of the affairs of Yizhou. Liu Xun’s view of talents is “only talents are used” and he asks that he is a capable person. For individual bad habits and ills, he usually opens one eye and closes one eye. He won’t be so particular, as long as he doesn’t commit a crime. Just make a big mistake.
Zhuge Liang is different. He employs people and advocates both virtue and talent. The talents recommended by Zhuge Liang are all high-spirited and talented people. It is precisely this way that there will be a later period of'no general in Shu, and liar will become a pioneer'. Of this thing.
Therefore, road construction is the most worthwhile solution for accelerating the economic development, talent exchange and cultural dissemination of Yizhou.
According to this plan, all people with some vision are all stunned, and everyone looks at Liu Xun like a monster.
Liu Xun adopted the suggestions of the ministers and put forward a series of policies in response to the various pros and cons of Yizhou, and planned to turn Yizhou into a veritable geomantic treasure within five years. In response to the fact that Yizhou has a small population and a large amount of land, the policy of "farming and recultivating the valley, retreating and restoring the people" was put forward, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and Zhuge Liang's immigration of 50,000 to enrich Yizhou.
Liu Xun attaches great importance to water conservancy and specifically proposed to set up a weir officer, so that 2,000 soldiers will be stationed at the largest water conservancy project at the time "Dujiangyan", to protect and manage it, and make it very talented, but very dedicated, and work hard. Mr. Wang, the good old man, came to be the weir officer.
Liu Xun also adopted some suggestions for Yizhou's economy. He was very concerned about the production of the salt and iron industry, and made great efforts to utilize and promote the brocade industry in Shu. According to the suggestion of the military general Zhuge Liang, he appointed a brocade officer to organize the production and allocation of the brocade.
Fortunately, the people of Xichuan have returned to their hearts and have followed all the instructions issued by Liu Xun.
Liu Xun is strict in law enforcement and does not talk about personal affair. Most of the local rich and powerful people are overwhelmed by his harshness and show their favor.
However, everything is in case. The only thing that is difficult is the Zhu family, one of the five richest people in the Han Dynasty. The Zhu family has almost one-fifth of Xichuan's fertile soil, but all the policies implemented by Liu Xunjun are set for the people as proposed by Liu Xun.
It’s good for the people and it’s not good for the wealthy and nobles. However, Liu Xun’s policy is extremely clever. For the wealthy people, they just lose a little, and they don’t care too much. However, Liu Xun is very strict about one thing. One point is also learned from the experience and lessons of the past dynasties.
This point is the land. Land is the root cause of chaos. If a person has a large area of land, it means that he can use the land to raise a lot of thugs, make huge profits from it, and cause misfortune and make the people miserable.
And Zhu’s family in Xichuan has been passed down for eight generations and has deep roots. The number of thugs raised in his family has actually reached 5,000. It should be understood that 5,000 are not a small number. At a critical time, there are 5,000. Sudden troubles will often easily occupy a county.
The Chamber of the General Mansion of Chengdu City University.
Liu Xun and Luo Lingfeng, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, and Pang Tong are discussing how to deal with the Zhu family.
Liu Xun asked Pang Tong on the side: "Shi Yuan, what did you gain from going to Zhu's house this morning?"
Pang Tong said inconsistently: "There is no effect. Zhu Yuan, the head of the Zhu family, is cunning and greedy by nature, and did not agree. From his tone, he will never give up the land in his hands, and he also secretly reminds him to let him go. The Zhu family fully supported our army, but Zhu Yuan proposed that as long as they are in the territory of our army, all Zhu's shops will be exempted from a one-third tax rate."
Liu Xun shook his head and firmly refused: "This is absolutely impossible. The legal system is there, and Zhu's family is always in trouble. Give him this preferential treatment. It won't be even more crazy to accumulate money."
For a time, everyone in the hall didn't have any good strategies.
Zhuge Liang frowned and said murderously: "Kill!"
Killing is indeed the easiest way to solve it, but in this way, this is likely to become an excuse for Sun and Cao to attack Liu Xun's reputation. Because after all, the power of the aristocratic family should not be underestimated. It is also impossible to directly confiscated the properties of the four great families in Xiangyang as they had just arrived in Jingzhou. Because after all, now that the power is strong, it is inevitable that you will be thrown into the rat when doing things...
