Chapter 626 Koda Order

Will Huang Quan flee without a fight?
Hearing this question again, everyone in the room lost their initial surprise, and more people just hung their heads in silence, but there were also some people who frowned.Although there was no obvious meaning revealed, in fact, he was somewhat displeased with Shen Zhezi's entanglement in this meaningless question, to the extent that some people looked at Shen Zhezi with contempt.

It's not a secret that this son-in-law has any old achievements, but anyone who pays attention to the current situation is familiar with it.Hundreds of horses return to the capital, Qin Wang saves the country.This deed sounds naturally brilliant and inspiring.But in fact, what is the inside story of such an astonishing great achievement?

You don't even need someone who knows how to fight, even if you have a slightly normal mind, you can understand that this battle is definitely not a battle!Tens of thousands of rebels occupy Gyeonggi, even if they do not resist and line up to die, it is not an easy task to kill hundreds of people all the way.

However, due to the rise of the Shen family and the high reputation of this son-in-law, most people at the time would see through this old work that was obviously too watery.

As for how many people are envious of this son-in-law's luck and great achievements, that's unknown.Even if he was sincere in his heart, at most he just lamented that the son-in-law had mastered the timing exquisitely, rushing into Jiankang when the situation in the capital was in dire straits, and was able to make a contribution.Although this keen insight and grasp of timing are enough to make people look sideways, if you regard him as an invincible wizard based on this, it is really not convincing.

Except for Guo Song, Han Huang and other people who knew a lot about the son-in-law, other people like Wang Qianqi and others were actually a little impatient with Shen Zhezi's boring insistence, and it was inevitable that there would be slander: This son-in-law is used to fighting with the wind, and his eyes are higher than the top. Does he really think he is a man of heaven?Whenever there is a confrontation, others will run away after hearing their name?
"If that kind of situation really happened, wouldn't it be a good thing? The heavy city can be conquered without the use of swords and soldiers, and the barbarians are afraid to run away, which shows that the king's master is unparalleled. Hefei is not the only place in the future, and Shouchun can also return in just a few days!"

Wang Qianqi said with a smile, but anyone could hear the ridicule in his words.Although there are many people in the field who think this way, he is probably the only one who really dares to say it.

He wasn't Guo Song who came south in a hurry, or Han Huang who wanted to look up to Shen when he was punished for his crimes, nor was it Wang Zhang and others who were shabby army leaders who were unknown in the world.You must know that before he came to Yuzhou, he was already the Prime Minister of Jiang Xia, and he would be able to enter the rank of Fang Bo if he went up one step. There is a lot of nonsense in front of him!

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Guo Song and others raised their eyebrows and wanted to refute, but Shen Zhezi waved his hand to stop it.

"Shouchun must be recovered, but Hefei is still undecided, so it is too early to say."

It was just a sarcastic remark, but Shen Zhezi still responded with a serious face, which inevitably made others feel even weirder.But then Shen Zhezi said again: "Then I might as well change the way of asking, is there any reason for Jie thief to guard Hefei?"

As soon as this question came out, except for the few people who already had prejudices against Shen Zhezi, everyone else couldn't help frowning and thinking.

"Wei Zhou asked this question. I had thought about it before, but I didn't go deep into it."

It was Yu Yi who spoke first. Wang Qianqi's insinuation to Shen Zhezi just now made him a little embarrassed, but now he can take the opportunity to divert the topic: "Huang Quan's department is called Wanyu, but it is actually only an army. Just eating here, being fierce and tyrannical, plundering the villagers widely, possessing many people, and having lost the king's teaching for a long time, it is really difficult to be used, and it should not be underestimated."

In the battle of Hefei, Yu Yi also had a lot of intentions and placed great hopes on it.How could he not have considered the question Shen Zhezi raised?
Although due to the failure of the ancestral covenant, the old Yuzhou fell completely.From another aspect, this actually reflects that the Jiangdong court's control over the original Yuzhou is too weak, and the gains and losses are almost entirely dependent on the family's orientation, and there is almost no substantive occupation and management.

Now Jiehu nominally controls Yuzhou, but the situation is similar to that of Jiangdong in the past, but a part of the military force was symbolically placed in several important military strongholds to ensure the smooth flow of a southward sweeping channel, and it did not form like the Northland. Full control and operation.

For example, Huang Quan, their immediate opponent, has more than 3000 people, but the core strength is only [-] to [-] people, and the rest are all villagers who have been plundered locally.If it is true that more than ten thousand troops of Jiehu are guarding here, the supply pressure of pure logistics will not be able to bear it at all.

Shen Zhezi asked if Jiehu had any reason to abide by Hefei, and the answer was no.In fact, not only in Hefei, but also in various aspects such as Huaisi and Xiangyang, Jiehu still only maintains the main focus of plundering, and does not substantively occupy the business at all.

In the early years, Cao Wei and Soochow confronted each other and fought several battles around Hefei. At first, Soochow was to give Jiangdong a way out and a springboard, but later it turned into an active defense, while Cao Wei was to ensure the safety of a large number of settlements in Huainan. It is necessary to hold the frontier position of Hefei.

But now, after Hefei, there are still ruins. Even if it is lost, it is not an unbearable loss for Jiehu.In short, this is not where their core interests lie.

From this point of view, Huang Quan really has no reason to stay here and exhaust his elite subordinates for this battle.In fact, not to mention Hefei, the former important town that has been half-abandoned, even Xiangyang, Jiehu and Jingzhou are seeing each other. Xiangyang has gained and lost several times because of this, and neither side has occupied it for a long time.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi's previous question about Huang Quan's possibility of fleeing without a fight is actually not aimless, and there are reasons for it.But this issue is not worth discussing at all.

Yu Yi answered an irrelevant question earlier and introduced the actual situation of Huang Quan's department. In fact, he was saying that even if there is such a possibility, it is actually very small.Comparing the strength of the two sides, Yuzhou does not occupy an overwhelming advantage here, and at the same time, the Yuzhou Army does not have the prestige of the Jingzhou Army to scare the enemy away.

Even if everything went smoothly in the war, Huang Quan still couldn't hold on to Hefei in the end and fled in a desperate situation. Naturally, everyone was happy.But before that, there is really no need to discuss such a tiny possibility, or even treat it as a tactical goal.

At this point in the conversation, in fact, Yu Yi is also euphemistically expressing that there is no need to discuss this issue any further.In the final analysis, whether Huang Quan escaped or not would not be enough to affect their strategic deployment. If he escaped, it would be a pleasant surprise.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he also understood that these people had misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he was lucky in raising this question, and wanted to let the enemy go away without a fight.

After pondering for a while, he simply stood up from the table, walked to the map, drew a circle around Hefei with his finger, and said: "If Wang Shirui is fierce, Huang Quan may flee in fear of battle. Everyone agrees with this point." There should be a consensus, right?"

Seeing that Shen Zhezi was still entangled in this topic, the number of people frowning inevitably increased. However, Guo Song and others knew that Shen Zhezi was not a person who was just messing around for the sake of face, and couldn't help thinking about the deep meaning behind Shen Zhezi's question.

"What I want to ask you is, if this happens, how do you deal with it?"

Finally, it is no longer the question of whether Huang Quan will escape, but this new question is also speechless. If he escapes, he will escape. How should he deal with it?Beating away the enemy and successfully recovering the compound fertilizer, isn't that the purpose of their battle?Does this son-in-law still want to chase after him, fight all the way to Shouchun and even Yecheng, and defeat Jiehu in one battle?
Not to mention whether the imperial court has such strength now, even if it only collects compound fertilizers, it still makes people tremble, worrying that Jiehu will go south in a large scale because of this, and will hit them head-on.

Moreover, even if it was simply to pursue Huang Quan, the Yuzhou Army could not do it.You must know that even if they harvest compound fertilizers, they have to rely on the waterway from Ruxukou to Chaohu Lake, and they have to catch up with the rainy season and the Jiehu cavalry can't rush to help.But if you pursue them, there is no such convenience, and the further north you go, the more dangerous it will be!

Therefore, even if this battle is won completely, it is necessary to seek stability and progress in a restrained manner, not to blindly expand the results of the battle, and always have spare power to deal with Jiehu's counterattack.Whether Huang Quan escapes or not escapes is not within their scope of consideration, let alone whether to chase or not!

"Weizhou, what do you want to say, you might as well speak up."

Yu Yi naturally has a lot of confidence in Shen Zhezi, so he is particularly curious about why Shen Zhezi is entangled in seemingly meaningless questions.

"If Huang Quan flees, it will be a crime of losing land. This person will be used in the south of the court, so it is known that he has little confidence. How can he be exempted from the crime? If you are Huang Quan and you are forced to flee, what should you do next? "

Shen Zhezi finally said the question he wanted to express the most. The reason why he didn't ask it at the beginning is that he also wanted to know whether everyone present was aware of this question.To be honest, I am still a little disappointed, probably because they have too much desire to win or lose in Hefei, which made them focus too much on the battlefield, including Yu Yi, who failed to extend their thinking to the battlefield outside.

"A lonely teacher hangs far away, responds suddenly, and is weak in follow-up. Naturally, it is difficult to defend and abandon it. Don't cling to gain or lose an inch of land, retreat for a while, and fight again later."

This is Han Huang's answer.

But Guo Song pondered: "It is useless to guard the wasteland of the abandoned city. It is better to return the people captive. Isn't it a strategy for preservation."

The two questions of these two people precisely pointed out the core of the war, land and population.

And this is why Shen Zhezi must be entangled in the issue of whether Huang Quan can escape or not. Jiehu's attitude towards Hefei is dispensable, but for them, they must take this place!One has no intention of keeping it, and the other has the heart of winning. In fact, the gain or loss of Hefei is not worth discussing, and it must be won no matter what!
Now that this goal has been determined, the next thing we need to work on is how to take Hefei as completely as possible!The two possibilities proposed by Han Huang and Guo Song are both situations that Shen Zhezi does not want to face.If Huang Quan escaped, even if it was just to get rid of the guilt, he would definitely harass the south frequently.And before fleeing, if conditions permit, he will definitely rob Dingkou as much as possible!
A war, no matter how grand its significance or how far-reaching its strategy, is fundamentally aimed at the population.

Huang Quan may not be a famous general, but it doesn't take a lot of wisdom to figure it out.Even if he can't hold Hefei, he will try to weaken his opponent as much as possible. Naturally, the land cannot be taken away in his pocket, but the population can be taken away!
At this point in the story, Yu Yi and the others finally understood what Shen Zhezi wanted to express. The reason why there was such a deviation in cognition was because their final goals were set differently.Their goal around this battle is to win Hefei, and Shen Zhezi's goal is undoubtedly higher.

But a high goal does not mean a strong ability. Even if they realize this problem under the reminder of Shen Zhezi, but then what?What should I do?Now that the army has not yet launched, and the outcome is still unpredictable, it is necessary to consider the issue of whether to pursue or not?
"My son-in-law's concern is far-reaching. Now that I have fully understood this worry, I wonder if I have a high opinion?"

Next, Wang Qianqi asked again, although he had already realized that Shen Zhezi was not a boastful dandy, but he was far from being in awe of him. If necessary, they changed hands and threw the question back.

Shen Zhezi laughed when he heard the words, and then his expression turned solemn: "Huang Quan may flee without a fight, or even retreat after a small setback. If he is taken away, it can be said that there will be a lot of troubles. Is this person deeply fishing for this, and killing it? I just have a little opinion, and it’s hard to call it a high-level opinion. Whether it can be done, or can it be done, we still need to brainstorm."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down.He didn't respond to Wang Qianqi's implicitly provocative question. First, it was meaningless. Second, he didn't think that his tactical attainments could surpass those of the veteran generals present.The reason why I want to point this out is because I found that when the generals discussed this battle, their goals were really a little conservative.

Of course, this also reflects that when facing Jienu, even these generals who are fighting on the front line are inevitably timid and dare not make too much progress.Even in the face of an advantageous situation, it is still to seek no faults and not to seek great merit.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the lack of courage of these generals. It is really the long-standing evils of the world that have made these generals develop a conservative character.

When Shen Zhezi returned to his seat, there was another long silence in the room.

Some people who were a little slow to react, only now understand that this son-in-law from afar is not just trying to win a smooth battle by luck, but wants to expand the results of the battle and encircle and wipe out the enemy here.Some civil officials in Yuzhou who didn't know much about Shen Zhezi felt awe-inspiring in their hearts at the moment, and couldn't tell that this handsome son-in-law was so murderous!
However, more people are considering the idea proposed by Shen Zhezi, to trap Huang Quan's troops in Hefei and wipe them out here?can?is it necessary?

Among them, the one with the most complicated mood was Yu Yi. Seeing that all the generals were silent, the slightly excited mood that was originally about the imminent battle inevitably cooled down a little.Especially seeing Shen Zhezi sitting in the banquet with a calm face, I couldn't help but feel more emotional.

He has always believed that the current critics have belittled him, and his talent is actually far superior to what people saw at the time, especially when he was avoiding Ren Liyang from Taichung, he tried his best to prove himself, but there was often no place to exert his strength. feel.Although people at that time looked at him with admiration due to the chaos in Jiangzhou, but he understood that he actually did not play a big part in this matter.

From determining the target to finally forcing Wang Shu to death, Yu Yi actually didn't have the confidence to win.He just followed the original plan and watched the impossible task being completed in the end!

It is not the first time he has experienced turning the impossible into the possible, and he believes that his mind and vision have made great progress.But now, he found that he was still lacking.

Who is Huang Quan?It's just that Jiehu was almost exiled and placed in the southerly area as a captive!And he is already Fang Bo's most important, guarding Xifan. Although the battle of Hefei was launched by Yuzhou's main attack, in fact, the manpower and material resources mobilized are far more than Yuzhou, but he has not yet had the guts to conceive of completely annihilating his opponents in Yuzhou. Here, everyone has everything!

"Wei Zhou's remarks really cheer up the hearts of those who have been tired for a long time! The slaves are tired of messing up my old country and invading my homeland. They should be pursued and killed. How can they be allowed to come and go freely!"

After sighing, Yu Yi clapped his hands in the table and said with a smile, then he turned to the generals: "The Battle of Hefei was a long-weary leap forward from the east of the Yangtze River. We have high hopes inside and out, and we must not lose anything! The people have been living outside, and have been abused by slaves and thieves for a long time, and they can't be called full credit!"

Although the son-in-law's status is special, he is only a colleague after all. If there are any suggestions, the generals can still secretly hold them back.But now that the governor has said this, it is tantamount to setting a tone for this battle. No matter how they feel in their hearts, the generals can only express their support at this moment.You must know that Yuzhou is now in a state of mobilization for war. They really dare to speak out and oppose fiercely.

If the goal has been adjusted, then the previously formulated plan must also be revised.However, this is not to say that the order will be changed day and night, and it will disturb the morale of the army.After all, it is not to abandon the original plan, but to go a step further on the basis of this plan, changing from seizing the city to annihilating it.

Yuzhou's advantage is obvious, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, so there is no need to specify any detailed battle plan at the beginning.At most, a variable should be set aside to deal with this situation.So at the end of the talk, there is no tactical modification, but there is one more situation that needs to be actively dealt with.

After that, Shen Zhezi didn't say anything more, just quietly watched the generals express their opinions.In fact, the implementation of war into specific operations is nothing more than soldiers serving their lives. No amount of detailed discussion and planning before the war can only minimize predictable variables.If the execution ability is not up to par, any pre-war mobilization will be nothing more than drawing cakes.

After the generals finished their discussion, Shen Zhezi signaled Chen Gui beside him to take out an imperial edict and announce it to everyone: "Taiwan has high hopes for this battle in Hefei. Although the battle failed, a special edict has been promulgated. It is advisable to praise those who will fight and make great achievements in the future!"

When everyone heard this, their brows raised. Long before Shen Zhezi left the capital, in fact, rumors about this had already spread in Yuzhou.So everyone stood up solemnly, waiting for Shen Zhezi to read out this special edict.

The content of the imperial decree is very simple. Apart from those polite words of encouragement, the most important and practical content is a "Jia Tian Order"!
As for the content of the Jiatian Order, it is also very simple, with only one core point. On the newly recovered land in Yuzhou, the original military settlements will no longer be implemented, but just like Jingxiang, Xi officials and slaves will be used to farm instead of soldiers.

The so-called Xiguan slaves are slave households controlled by the government. This part of Dingkou replaces the soldiers to farm, instead of taking care of farming and war like the original military households.Soldiers are able to leave the farmland, and their combat effectiveness is naturally more guaranteed.Among the towns, Jingzhou is the largest. Apart from geographical reasons, this is also extremely important. With a stable source of money and food, it can naturally support a large number of full-time soldiers.

This is naturally a great boon for the generals. They each have a large number of cronies. Now they can openly accept slave households to work in slavery, which is equivalent to enjoying the privilege of shelter that only aristocratic families can have.Then the population and land obtained in the war will eventually be directly linked to their income.

Therefore, they had been looking forward to this Jiatian order for a long time, and now they finally heard the conclusive text of the edict, which can be described as exciting.Although they realized that this edict was slightly different from what they knew, the joy of their wish being fulfilled still made them ignore this point.

After Shen Zhezi read out the edict, he handed it to Yu Yi.If this Jiatian order is just a repetition of Jingxiang's old policy, why bother to draw up a new vocabulary?Everyone still has a slightly biased understanding. The original official-slave farming is aimed at groups, and it is very easy to breed deformed interest groups, stealing public property and enriching private households.But this Jiatian order is detailed and specific to the individual.

In short, for the reclamation of newly restored soil, one field must correspond to one Ding, and the yield per mu must correspond to one Jia.Although it is still farmed by servant households, there must be as many soldiers as there are acres of fields.Compare the standards twice, so whether it is Nading or Naida, it can be thoroughly investigated.

Of course, it is impossible for the Koda Order to completely eradicate all long-standing abuses, and there will definitely be loopholes to exploit in its implementation.But if the logic of Tian vs. Jia remains unchanged, then in its expansion stage, it will always be able to guarantee a powerful means of enforcement and supervision, that is, the army!As long as you have the army in your hands, if there is a problem, then change it, and if you can't change it, kill it!

The Jingzhou army also has many disadvantages, but because of its strong armored soldiers, foreign enemies cannot insult it.Even though Tao Kan came to his position because of his humbleness, many people at that time looked down upon him, but he still didn't dare to offend him easily.

The reason why Shen Zhezi didn't stop the king from exporting to serve as the prime minister was to make temporary concessions in the political situation in exchange for this Jiatian order.Although it is still a dead letter at the moment, as long as it can be implemented in the early stage, a virtuous circle of expansion can be achieved.

　There is still a lot to write in this chapter, but it will be added later. . .Although it is still a big chapter, it is also the standard for normal two updates
