Chapter 844 Undercurrent
Ailang left the domestic city after only a few days. Now it cannot be called the domestic city, it should be called Ji'an. Ailang has changed the name of the domestic city to Ji'an in modern society, while Gutu City has been changed to Sanjiangkou. The names of the domestic city Gutu City are too exotic, and Ailang feels very awkward. In addition, Ailang has been arranged in the entire Liaodong defense work, with Ju Yi as the main general, Pang De and Gao Qiao as the deputy generals. All the troops who went to Liaodong this time remained in Liaodong and did not withdraw, and the troops were recruited from the local area to supplement the damage. The defense of the entire northeast region is centered on three county cities and Ji'an, and a camp was added in Liaoshan, and three thousand troops were stationed to monitor the remnants of Gaojuli who fled to the north. This Liaoshan is located at the source of the Xiaoliao River, and is in the northeast of Xuantu County and northwest of Ji'an City, and is a strategic location for the northward entry into the wilderness.
Ailang and his group headed south, and a few days later, boarded a ship in Xi'anping and left Liaodong and returned to the Central Plains. After Ailang left, Ju Yi and others prepared for war according to Ailang's arrangement. The entire Northeast region was full of a prosperous atmosphere.
Early in the morning that day, Ju Yizheng and Gao Qiao Pangde discussed recruiting local people to supplement the war damage. An officer suddenly came to report: "Report to General, Liaoshan urgently report!" As he said that, he presented a roll of bamboo slips. The three of them were surprised to hear that Liaoshan had an urgent report. Gao Qiao couldn't help frowning and said: "Is the remnants of Gao Juli coming to invade so quickly? Is it impossible?"
Ju Yi took the bamboo slips, opened them and looked at them, and smiled and said, "Although they were from Gogurye, they were not here to invade! It was the envoy sent by Queen Goguryee and intended to surrender to us!" Pang De Gao Qiao suddenly realized, Pang De said, "They came in a very wrong time. The lord and the others have just left!" Gao Qiao said, "We cannot make the decision on this matter, just send people to the Central Plains to pay homage to the lord!" Ju Yi and Pang De nodded. Ju Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's send someone to report this matter to the lord first." Pang De Gao Qiao felt that Ju Yi was right. Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Ju Yi immediately called a messenger and ordered him to rush to report the matter to the lord immediately. The messenger replied and left in a hurry.
The fleet with three city tower ships as the core was moving south slowly on the calm sea. At this time, the moon was in the sky, and the breeze was blowing on the sea surface, and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Next to the fleet not far away, there were many seals swimming with the fleet, jumping out of the sea from time to time, looking very cheerful. Ailang and many people had never seen such a scene, and they felt very novel. The sound of exclamations came one after another on each ship.
Huang Yueying stood beside Ailang, looking at Ailang's happy look, and she couldn't help but feel very happy. At the same time, she also enjoyed the atmosphere at this moment. When she was at home, there were so many sisters serving her husband together, which made her feel that she didn't have much presence. However, it was completely different at this moment. She could truly and deeply feel that she was her husband's wife, and she was with her husband's side, and could clearly feel her love for her. If she could, she really wanted to stay with her husband like this until she was old! Huang Yueying came back to her senses and couldn't help but feel funny about her infatuation. She quickly calmed down and looked at the sea in the distance. At this time, many dolphins were jumping out of the water and raised a large area of water. The scene was amazing. Huang Yueying forgot the troubles in her heart for a while and couldn't help but exclaim.
A few days later, Ailang and his group climbed the ground in Qingzhou and entered Linzi City. They prepared to rest here and then set off to return to Luoyang.
That night, Ailang and Jia Xu were drinking and chatting. They were talking a little bit, but as they were chatting, they didn’t know whether they were talking about the current business. Ailang said to Jia Xu: “Old Jia, I want to migrate some people from the Central Plains to the Northeast. What do you think?”
Jia Xu put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "Actually, the subordinates also have this idea. Now the three counties of Liaodong are firmly in our hands. It is time to consider internal affairs. The main problem of the three counties of Liaodong is that the number of Han people is small and the population is small, which not only restricts the construction of local infrastructure, but also makes it difficult for the economy to improve. Therefore, the first thing to do to govern Liaodong is to increase the population as soon as possible. The fastest and most effective way to increase the population is to migrate the people." Ailang slapped the table and praised: "It's really a hero who sees it the same way! Lao Jia, your idea is exactly the same as Yueying!"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Empress is very intelligent, how can I compare with Empress!" Ai Lang waved his hand and said angrily: "This is what you are wrong! OK, that's OK! Don't do that modest!" Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I know I'm wrong!"
Ailang took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass, and thought, "Old Jia, you and Yueying both have this idea, so this matter is decided! But, what method should be used to migrate the people? I don't want to force the people, but I still have to let the people voluntarily!"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult. What people in the world cannot withstand is the temptation of interests. Therefore, as long as there is enough interests, there is no need to worry about the people not moving to Liaodong. There are so many wastelands in Liaodong now, but there are many civilians without land or with little land in the Central Plains. If the lord told them that the whole family could not get a lot of fertile land, but also exempt a large amount of agricultural tax. How could they not flock to it?" Ailang said with a high-five: "I didn't think of this method! This method is good!"
Jia Xu said: "In addition, his subordinates thought that Ji'an's status was very important, so it would be easier to set up a county alone, which would be easier to manage." Ailang felt that what Jia Xu said made sense and nodded.
Suddenly, a rapid and heavy footstep sound came from the door. The two people who were drinking couldn't help but look at the door, and Dian Wei stepped in. Dian Wei walked into the hall and clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Lord, General Ju Yi has sent someone!" Ailang felt a little surprised and said, "Call him in." Dian Wei Yingnuo immediately turned his head and shouted outside, "Messenger to see you!" As soon as he finished speaking, a hurrying footstep sounded from outside, and then a dusty messenger rushed in quickly.
When the messenger saw Ai Lang, he immediately bowed: "The villain is here to send a message to General Ju Yi!" As he said that, he took off the bamboo bag on his back and presented it with both hands.
Dian Wei took the bamboo slip bag and presented it to Ailang. Ailang opened the bag, took out a roll of bamboo slips, opened it and looked it out. He smiled and handed the bamboo slips to Jia Xu. Jia Xu stretched out his hands to take the bamboo slips, looked carefully, closed the bamboo slips, and said to Ailang with a smile: "This is a good thing." Ailang asked with a smile: "Old Jia, aren't you worried that the other party is pretending to surrender?" Jia Xu said firmly: "Absolutely not! In fact, the queen clan and Gao Tai had broken apart when the civil strife in the country were in the previous civil unrest in the city, and there was no room for maneuver! At this time, our army temporarily stopped the troops and shrank their defenses! Gao Tai's new and old hatreds surged in his heart, how could there be a reason to let the queen clan go! The two families are inevitable to fight fiercely, so the queen clan hopes to get our support!"
Ailang felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, so he nodded. He then asked, "What should we do?" Jia Xu smiled and said, "The queen's clan is weak, so we should naturally support them. Let the Gogurye people fight intra-fighting, and we will also lose one more trouble." Ailang laughed and praised, "Well said it! That's it!" After a pause, he said to Jia Xu, "After the messenger comes, you can talk to him first. If necessary, send the person to Luoyang to meet me. I don't have time to wait for him to come here." Jia Xu clasped his fists and agreed.
In the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Jizhou, Liu Bei's envoy Fa Zheng paid a visit to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi smiled and said, "The envoy does not have to be too polite." Fa Zheng thanked him, straightened his waist, clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister, my lord heard that Lu Bu had pacified Liaodong, so he was sent to pay homage to the Prime Minister." Cao Pi couldn't help sighing and said with some emotion: "It's really a matter of God's wish! God helps the thief but not the Han!"
Fa Zheng said: "My lord believes that Lu Bu's strength is getting stronger and stronger, so we can't waste time any more! Otherwise, Lu Bu's strength will eventually expand to a point where we cannot cope!" Cao Pi huffed and asked, "What are the plans for Envoy Liu?" Fa Zheng said immediately: "My lord believes that although Lu Bu won by chance in this battle, his money and food consumption is very huge! Zheng can take this opportunity to concentrate the forces of our three families to attack Lu Bu, and there is still a great chance to win a big victory!"
Cao Pi stood up, walked to Fa Zheng, and said, "My thoughts and Envoy Liu are really coincidental!" Fa Zheng was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Since the Prime Minister has the same idea, then this matter will be done! My lord's meaning is to ask the Prime Minister to mobilize the main forces to attack Luoyang, and my lord raises troops to attack Guanzhong. At the same time, my lord's lord will divide an army to cooperate with Sun Jian and his son to jointly Duannanzhong to cut off the wings of Jingzhou and finally seize Jingzhou! I wonder what the Prime Minister wants?"
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi who was beside you and turned around. Sima Yi met and walked up to Fa Zheng, saying, "Eunuch Liu's idea is basically the same as us. However, there is one thing that we think that Liu's main force should not attack Guanzhong, but should seize Hanzhong first!" Fa Zheng was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?" Sima Yi smiled slightly and said, "If the attack is launched according to Liu's plan, the enemy in Guanzhong will inevitably give up Guanzhong, retreat to Luoyang, or retreat to Hanzhong when the enemy's troops gather together, and the subsequent battle will not be easy."
Fa Zheng felt that what Sima Yi said made sense and could not help but nodded.
Sima Yi continued: "Envoy Liu can pretend to attack Guanzhong, and secretly gather forces to raid Hanzhong, while we are pretending to attack Qingzhou, but in fact we secretly gather forces to raid Luoyang! If the plan is successful, we will definitely capture Luoyang and Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Once these two places are lost, the Qin army in Guanzhong will be isolated from the main force of the Qin army and become a turtle in the jar. Next, it will be easy to capture the turtle in the jar! If Guanzhong loses again, Lu Bu will inevitably be seriously injured, and we will completely reverse the current unfavorable situation!"
