"Jingzhou's nine counties govern 117 counties, with more than 376,000 households, a population of 2,129,000 men and women, 280,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 large and small warships, and another There are 1.3 million dendrobium of rice grain It is indeed the largest state in the south, and it really has a profound cultural background!"
In the Xiangyang City-Prefectural Mufu Mansion, Xiao Yi was sitting in the lobby, flipping through the Jingzhou household registration list, exclaiming a few times in admiration, obviously very satisfied with these numbers!
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Kyushu has collapsed and wars have continued. Coupled with floods, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues the population of the Han family has continued to decline, even to the point where there are only ten houses and nine empty houses. For example, when Xuzhou was pacified, the population was only over 600,000. , the situation in Liangzhou is even worse, with a population of less than 200,000!
After Cao Cao unified the north, he conducted a census and found that the nine prefectures of Xu, Yu, Yan, Si, Liang, Qing, Bing, Ji, and You had a total of more than 1.3 million households and a population of more than 8 million men and women. Jingzhou has a population of more than two million, which is really a prosperous city!
In addition, the official household registration has always been false, not over-reporting, but under-reporting, because many powerful people and powerful people kept slaves privately. In order to avoid paying the "head tax", they did not register the household registration for the slaves, so the real population of Jingzhou , should be more than three million!
The dragon and snakes are landing, the princes are fighting, and the land, city, wealth The key is to fight for the population. Whoever masters a large number of people can collect taxes and expand the army, continuously strengthen their strength, and then win the world!
At the beginning, Yuan Shu only had three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang, and Ruyang, but he was able to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then established himself as a "pseudo emperor". He relied on the dense population and prosperity. The population of the three counties was equivalent to that of other places. Three states already!
As the Duke of Wei and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao had a position below one person and above tens of thousands of people. He still wanted to lead Jizhou as a herdsman. What he valued was that Jizhou had fertile land, abundant food, and a population of more than three million!
Similarly, if Xiao Yi wants to achieve great things, he also needs a fundamental place. The nine counties of Jingzhou are the first choice. It is more prosperous than Xu, Bing, and Youzhou combined. It is definitely a big piece of fat!
Before the war started, Cao Cao personally promised, 'Whoever has the most outstanding military achievements in the southern expedition will be the lord of Jingzhou.' Xiao Yi sent his troops south, skillfully attacked Xiangyang City, and severely damaged Liu Bei's army. His military achievements were unparalleled, and he should be appointed as the leader. Jingzhou Mu!
As a 'quasi-Jingzhou herdsman', you naturally need to know the situation under governance: the population, the amount of products, and the customs and sentiments of the people. Only in this way can you better govern Jingzhou and firmly control this king's base!
Of course, there are still a lot of troubles if you want to control the nine counties of Jingzhou. Wenpin in Yuzhang County and Liu Qi in Jiangxia County are desperately resisting Cao's attack. Guiyang, Changsha, Wuling, and Lingling in the south are not either. Surrender, especially the big-eared thief who escaped. If he is not eliminated in one day, he will never be able to secure his position in Jingzhou!
After the fog dissipated, Xiao Yi sent out many rangers to investigate the situation. Finally, he learned that Liu Bei and Xu Shu led their troops to flee west, crossed the Han River from Laohekou, and fought all the way into Nanjun. They divided the troops into ten. Several teams gathered the garrison along the way, coerced the people, and headed straight for Jiangling City!
This is not surprising. Jiangxia County is closer, but the area is too small and lacks room for maneuver. Jiangling City is different. It connects Wuhui to the east and Bashu to the west. It has a large enough strategic space, as well as sufficient food, grass, and food. Ordnance is naturally the first choice for escaping, settling down, and making a fortune!
After knowing the whereabouts of Liu Bei, we must try to eliminate him as soon as possible to prevent him from rising again. Following and chasing him will not work because the opponent has too many people. He divided into more than a dozen teams and headed south. Xiao Yi only had 30,000 troops and could not form a large army. Surrounding net!
The best way is to ambush on a certain road near Jiangling City, wait for Liu Bei's team to fall into the trap, and fight a beautiful ambush!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi took the map of Jingzhou, stared at Jiangling City, searched and compared repeatedly in the vicinity, and finally found a perfect ambush location - Changban Slope!
Changbanpo is located about 200 miles northwest of Jiangling City. It is connected to Fenghuang Mountain to the northwest and Xiongjiashan Mountain to the southeast. In the middle is a highland four to five miles wide and more than 40 miles long. It is ordinary on the outside, but the internal terrain is dangerous. It's a great place for an ambush!
What¡¯s more important is that Changban Slope is the only way to go from the northwest to Jiangling City. You can¡¯t go around it even if you want to. Xiao Yi can definitely defeat Liu Bei¡¯s army as long as he sends troops to ambush and then waits for work!
The investigation of the enemy's situation is over, and the strategic deployment is completed. What's the next step? Instead of sending out troops immediately and having a happy battle, let the soldiers stay where they are and have a good rest!
War is not a game. Make a few gestures on the map and set up a self-confidence.A perfect strategy can really defeat the enemy. There was such a commander-in-chief in history - Zhao Kuo. As a result, he lost 400,000 soldiers and became infamous as a "war on paper"!
To turn the plan into reality, in addition to a precise combat plan, many factors must be considered, such as weather, environment, roads, food and grassas well as the physical condition of the soldiers, whether they can withstand a fierce battle!
In order to seize Xiangyang City, the Xuanjia Army made a long-distance attack, advancing three hundred miles in one day and night. They ate, drank, and slept on horseback. They marched for several days and nights without even breathing. Liu Bei's army began a bloody battle. Although he defeated the enemy, he also suffered many casualties!
In addition, the members and mounts of the Xuanjia Army are all from the north and are not adapted to the warm environment in the south. Many people suffer from acclimatization, vomiting day and night, and some even vomit to death. The war horses are also suffering from a lot of diseases. Unfortunately, all the energy of the dragon and the tiger is gone!
Fortunately, Xiao Yi was prepared in advance. He distributed medicine to the soldiers and brought many doctors with him. Otherwise, if the troops did not reach Xiangyang City, they would have been overwhelmed!
The top priority is to let the soldiers eat, drink medicine, sleep and repair themselves as soon as possible to restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible. This is the decision of a wise commander. Even if he has great ambitions, he must act within his capabilities!
After reading the household registration, Xiao Yi prepared to take a trip to visit celebrities and elders in Xiangyang City to learn more about the local customs and prepare to take over Jingzhou. But before he left his seat, his own soldiers came to report - Cao Jun Pioneer. The troops have arrived!
A heavy fog not only helped Liu Bei escape, but also delayed Cao Jun's advance. It was more than a day later than expected. The original plan of encirclement from the north and south and a pincer attack from inside and outside was completely bankrupt!
"The generals congratulate Grand Sima for defeating the stubborn enemy and conquering Xiangyang. After hearing this, all the officers and men in the army fell to the ground in admiration. The Prime Minister also issued a Jun order to reward the meritorious soldiers - one hundred thousand taels of gold and three hundred thousand pieces of silk! "
The vanguard generals Zhang He and Xu Huang were both highly skilled and battle-hardened veterans. It seemed that after several defeats, Cao Cao had no choice but to reuse generals with different surnames. However, what was somewhat surprising was that there was another person accompanying him - Jiang Ji. !
Jiang Ji, courtesy name Zitong, was born in Ping'er, Yangzhou. He was well-read and good at internal affairs. He served as a local governor and a prefect. Because of his merits in appeasing the people, he was promoted to the chief secretary of the prime minister's palace and the governor of the West Cao Dynasty. He became one of Cao Cao's confidants. one!
Now that Liu Bei is fleeing south, the war in Jingzhou is undecided, and it is time to pursue the victory. Cao Cao does not send more elite soldiers and generals, but instead sends an internal affairs talent. What does this mean?
Xiao Yi had a premonition of something bad, and quickly opened the Jun Ling to take a look. A few clouds suddenly gathered on his plain face. The soldiers around him immediately grasped the hilts of their swords and stared at Zhang He, Xu Huang, and Jiang Ji with murderous intent. As soon as Sima gives the order, they will draw their swords and kill people!
Cao Cao's Jun orders were very long, and most of them praised Xiao Yi, saying that he used soldiers like a god, defeated the enemy skillfully, and made great contributions to the country and the country. The generals in the army regarded him as a role model Although the words were gorgeous, they were useless nonsense. There were only two important points. Sentence:
First, let Xiao Yi lead troops to pursue him immediately. Don¡¯t give the enemy a chance to breathe. He must kill Liu Bei and capture Xu Shu alive!
Second, transfer all the household registration lists in Xiangyang City to Jiang Ji and let him temporarily handle all the government affairs in Jingzhou!
Cao Cao is also a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He understands the principle of never breaking through the Lu manuscript at the end of a strong crossbow. Now he is forcing the tired Xuanjia cavalry to continue southward to pursue the enemy. What does this mean?
Cao Cao also promised that those who made great achievements in the southern expedition would be the lord of Jingzhou. Xiao Yi made the first meritorious service, but instead of receiving the order, he asked Jiang Ji to act as the agent of Jingzhou's government affairs. What does this mean?
"One borrows a knife to kill someone, and the other crosses a river and demolishes a bridge. Is this what a traitor means He only wants to exchange the nine counties of Jingzhou for a mere 100,000 taels of gold and 300,000 bolts of silk?"
" Xiao Yi's face was as dark as water. He held the hilt of the sword several times and suppressed his anger with great perseverance A little impatience will ruin a big plan. Now is not the time to fall out! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
