Chapter 628: The phoenix falls, Liu Ye conspires with Kebineng
Sun Quan said in surprise: "Mr. Pang, is the plan coming out?"
Pang Tong took a sip of wine and smiled: "The people are not good at farming in the mountains, occupying the mountains as kings, living in groups and not accepting the sinicization, so they are called Shanyue. Others are just ordinary people! They are just ordinary people! They have deep resentment with the Han people, so they stay in the mountains. If this continues, it will only deepen the conflict between the two! I suggest that Sun Yangzhou can send powerful generals to make Shanyue in the mountains and not let them go down the mountain to rob. Over time, Shanyue people will have no food to eat, and then they will naturally come down the mountain! Then, Sun Yangzhou, you will send wise ministers and officials to comfort Shanyue. In this way, in a few years, Jiangdong will lose Shanyue and more people!"
"Yes!" Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "What Mr. Pang said is very true. Those Shanyue people stay in the mountains all year round and are not good at farming. If we send troops to block the mountain, within a few years, Shanyue people will definitely not be able to withstand hunger and go down the mountain by themselves. At that time, lord, you can not only subdue Shanyue people, but also under stable rule, but also add hundreds of thousands of people!"
Zhou Yu's eyes shone brightly and he smiled and said, "The people of Shanyue live in the mountains all year round, and the people are full of energy, which is the source of elites!"
Cheng Pu smiled and said, "Yizhou is mountainous. If our army has such an elite army that is walking on flat ground in the mountains, it will increase the chance of victory in the future attack on Yizhou!"
"Yes, yes! In this way, our army not only has excellent military resources, but also can solve the disaster in Shanyue. This is a killing of two birds with one stone!"
"No, no, no, this is a number of kills! We can increase taxes and enrich the treasury!"
......
Once the conversation was opened, everyone began to discuss the future in a scattered manner, filling in some of the details.
The more Sun Quan heard, the happier he felt. In his opinion, Pang Tong's appearance seemed a little liked. He saw that he looked hopeful and said to Pang Tong: "Mr. Pang, you are talented, but you hide in the countryside. Wouldn't it be that the pearls are covered with dust? If Mr. Pang is interested, I would like to be Mr. Pang as my deputy governor of Jiangdong, and his status is second only to Gongjin, how about it?"
Pang Tong was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately bowed: "I am willing to recognize Sun Yangzhou as the main person!"
Sun Quan laughed and said, "Haha... This marquis has the help of Shiyuan, just like King Wu has Jiang Shang! Why worry about the big thing not being done?"
In July of the tenth year of Jian'an, Pang Tong was recommended by Zhou Yu and appointed him under Sun Quan's command. He gave him advice and offered strange plans to help him pacify Shanyue in the next few years, and made great contributions.
In the same month, Yang Fan returned to the court. The Yang family army fought for a long time. At Yang Fan's order, the entire army rested and regained their strength.
In October of the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Ye, a counselor under Cao Cao, secretly came to Monan and met the Xianbei leader, Ke Bineng.
Ke Bineng was the new leader of the Xianbei people. He had 70,000 to 80,000 under his command. Even Yang Fan did not dare to provoke him easily.
On this day, Liu Ye and Ke Bineng were drinking and talking to each other in Ke Bineng's tent. During the meal, Liu Ye couldn't help but ask: "Captain Ke Bineng, I wonder, what are you thinking?"
Ke Bi Neng just laughed and refused to answer. The first man with a strong figure was the first to say: "Yang Fan is the general of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Even in Monan, we have heard of his reputation! What are the benefits of asking us to sneak attack on the Youzhou of Yang Piqi?"
This person is called Yu Zhuo, and one of the few warriors among the Xianbei people is Ke Bineng's son-in-law.
As soon as Yu Zhuze finished speaking, another burly man opposite him said, "Not bad! We have fought with the Yang family army several times in recent years, and we know their strength! There is no benefit, so we won't go to the Han area!"
This person is called Lishu, and he is the number one warrior under Kebineng's command and the son of Kebineng.
Seeing that Ke Bineng was silent, Liu Ye had to smile bitterly and said, "Although the Yang family army is powerful, it is not his only one in the Han area! If the leader of Ke Bineng is willing to raise troops to go south, our lord agrees that after defeating Yang Fan, the land of several counties in Xu Youzhou will be included in the rule of Ke Bineng?"
"Haha...haha..." As if I heard the joke, I saw Ke Bineng laughing. After laughing for a while, I looked at Liu Ye and teased: "Mr. Liu is really a good account. This Youzhou was originally under the rule of Yang Piqi. If I led my troops south and captured much land, I would be mine, so why would I need Lord Cao to give alms?"
Ke Bineng was like a shrewd businessman, hitting Liu Ye’s vital point with one word. Just when Liu Ye was speechless, he saw Ke Bineng laughing again: “But! It’s not impossible to ask us to send troops! As long as you can convince Cao Cao, let him send troops to attack Yang Fan’s territory first, and transfer his northern army stationed in Youzhou to the south, then he will form an alliance with him, Cao Cao, and send troops together! How about it?”
Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Yang Fan's army is hundreds of thousands, so why are they so easy to transfer?"
Ke Bi Neng spread his hands and said, "Since there is no benefit, why should I send troops south? I'm not comfortable?"
Liu Ye said anxiously: "Chief Kebi Neng, you can't say this. Winter is about to begin. I think your subordinate does not have that much food to make everyone survive this winter, right? Youzhou has a lot of food and grass. Can you not be moved at all, please?"
Li Yun smashed his mouth and mocked him: "Youzhou is probably not as rich as us. Why do you go to rob Youzhou? You can't get the benefits, and you have to fight with the Yang family army! It's better not to do this deal!"
Liu Ye was surprised when he heard this and thought to himself that this big guy had such a scheming, so he still couldn't underestimate this family.
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Maybe, you don't know yet. Since Yang Fan pacified Youzhou, a large amount of food will be shipped from Bingzhou to Youzhou every month, in order to save the people of Youzhou!"
Yu Zhuge seemed a little moved and asked quickly: "How many are there?"
Liu Ye stretched out a few fingers and smiled and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of stones of food every month!"
"This..." Yu Zhuo was shocked when he heard this. He turned his head and was about to say something to Kebi Neng, but Kebi Neng reached out to signal not to speak first. He saw Kebi Neng staring at Liu Ye for a while, and Liu Ye was not afraid at all, and was extremely calm. After a while, Kebi Neng laughed and said, "Hundreds of thousands of stones of food? It's too exaggerated! However, I believe half of you. The Yang family army should also send tens of thousands of stones of food every month. In addition, winter is coming soon, and they will also stockpile grain for the winter!"
Liu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "No, no, the leader Kebi Neng really has a sharp eye! How could he hide the little thoughts in his heart from your magic eyes? Is leader Kebi Neng planning to send troops?"
But Ke Bineng shook his head slightly and replied, "I said that if Cao Cao doesn't move, I won't move either! If we want us to move, Cao Cao must move first!"
Liu Ye suddenly sighed in his heart and said, "My lord's territory is far from the leader of Kebi Neng. Even if my lord sends troops, how can you know? Isn't this a force? Isn't this a force? The next words are over. As for whether you will go or not, it has nothing to do with me! I am tired, go and rest first. I will set off to return to the Han area tomorrow morning!"
Liu Ye had no choice but to give up temporarily, but his behavior was seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart by Ke Bi Neng.
After Liu Ye left, Yu Zhuze hurriedly advised: "Captain, Liu Ye doesn't seem to be telling lies! Why don't we believe him?"
Li Yun also asked in confusion: "Yes! Father, that's tens of thousands of stones of grain! With this grain, our tribe will have many people going through this winter this year, and your reputation will be greater, my father!"
After a while of silence, Ke Bineng explained: "The Han people are very cunning. We can only believe half of their words! Since Cao Cao revealed this news to us, we have to seize it! Let's do this, Yu Zhucheng, you immediately take hundreds of warriors to see if it is true as Liu Ye said, and there will be food delivered to Youzhou every month! If there is, then we have to grab it no matter what we say!"
Yu Zhuge immediately stood up and took the order and said, "Chief, just look at me!"
