"We can send merchants to transport grain to Luoyang, sell it at a high price, make huge profits and drain Luoyang’s wealth, and let Wang Shichong relax his vigilance. If Wang Shichong knows that there are merchants escorting grain to Luoyang, he will send someone to contact the merchants to buy grain. At that time, we can tell Wang Shichong that a large amount of grain can meet Luoyang’s demand." Ma Zhou said with a flash of light in his eyes.
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes. Isn’t that the enemy? At the beginning, Shi Biao besieged Luoyang to occupy the advantage, but because of lack of money, he had to exchange money and grain in Luoyang, which made Luoyang have food. In the end, everyone saw that Shi Biao defeated Wang Shichong Mangshan in World War I and changed the situation in the Central Plains. The reason is that Shi Biao’s wrong policy is a hidden danger.
Du Ruhui shook his head and was about to speak, but Yang You shook his head gently to signal that Du Ruhui needed to worry. Yang You knew that the history of Ma Zhou was very clever, and he could see the clue from him. Now his plan has great defects. Yang You believes that Ma Zhou can’t fail to see it.
Ma Zhou saw Yang You wordless and couldn’t help but smile. He gradually said what was on his mind. Yang You was slightly taken aback. I didn’t expect Ma Zhou’s plan to be so vicious. Step by step, he relaxed Wang Shichong’s vigilance and let him guard against it.
Yang You waved and said, "Mr. Ma, although this plan is good, I have to think it over carefully so that you can stay in the office first and I will consult with you again."
Ma Zhou also knew that it was impossible to adopt his suggestion, and he bowed out.
Yang You narrowed his eyes and waited for Ma Zhou to go out. He looked at Du Ruhui and said, "What is Du Aiqing like?"
"This person is smart enough, but I want to say that this plan is really good and the chances of success are very high. If it succeeds, Wang Shichong’s combat effectiveness will inevitably drop greatly," Du Ruhui said.
Yang You paced the room and thought for a moment. "This plan can be further improved. I have a preliminary plan in my heart. If Du Aiqing implements this plan, do you think people can win?"
"Let Ma Zhou pretend to be a businessman, since he has made an offer," Du Ruhui said.
"hmm!" Yang You wanted to think and nodded, "Although this plan is feasible, it is not too urgent to wait until around September to send someone to Luoyang." At that time, the disaster relief has ended, and Wang Shichong must have known that it was the time when he needed food most, and Yang You should be considered.
Yang You added, "Ma Zhou is also capable. Du Aiqing, you can ask him to help you deal with the victims. I want to see how capable he is and whether he can afford this heavy burden!"
"hey!" Du Ruhui upon.
"It’s getting late, Du Aiqing. You ask Ma Zhou to accompany me to subdue Xia Wang!" Yang You commanded to walk out slowly, 1453671763496+dsgu+73.
Chapter 77 North and South A few things
After the disaster, officials at all levels in the counties of Hebei Province were effectively managed, but the affected people were properly resettled. After the Yuancheng County incident was solved, Yang You took Du Ruhui, Pei Xingyan, Luo Shixin and others to conduct micro-inspections in Hebei counties to check the disaster relief situation.
After a tour, Yang You was satisfied with the performance of the county officials. In Yang You’s investigation, he also found a situation, that is, compared with the poor, the county officials have relatively high vision and strong execution, which makes Yang You have a new understanding of the family members.
It is not a fact that the gentry were weak in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. On the contrary, their comprehensive quality was much higher than that of their poor brothers because of their good education. After Yang You came to this conclusion, his mind changed slightly and he became more aware of which way the national policy of the Sui Dynasty would take in the future.
After a tour of Hebei counties, Yang You returned to Yuancheng County, which was already full of people. After the victims were killed, Yang You responded quickly and gave the Zhang family a satisfactory answer. Then Yang You sent someone to post a notice and won the hearts of the people.
People know that Tianyuan County in the Great Sui Dynasty came here in succession to pay their respects to the people in the Great Sui Dynasty. This psychology caused people in Yuancheng County to be full of food and there was a shortage. Fortunately, Cui Zhengheng, Ma Zhou and others arranged to make various effective arrangements to deploy food and tents from other counties and counties. Only then did they get through the difficulties, and the people worked together. One was not hungry and the other was not frozen, and achieved good results.
Yang You returned to Yuancheng County and immediately summoned Cui Zhengheng to ask about the performance of Ma Zhou for more than half a month. Cui Zhengheng was full of praise for Ma Zhou, and he was very sure of his ability. It is somewhat eye-catching to recognize this person as Wang Zuocai Cui Zhengheng, who was born in a big family, which made Yang You have a somewhat evaluation of Cui Zhengheng’s ability. This Cui Zhengheng is worth it.
Even when Hebei was nervous about disaster relief, Wang Shichong was also busy. He moved most of the treasury grain and tried his best to exchange money and silks for some food, which made him barely keep the people. He knew that the conditions given to the people by Sui Dynasty were very favorable, so he had to be more favorable to keep the people.
Fortunately, many people have been killed and injured in successive wars in the Central Plains, and many farmland has been deserted. Wang Shichong has enough land to distribute to the people. What difference does it make if there is land in troubled times? Not only did Wang Shichong not lose population, but the people who fled from Wagang initially estimated that there were at least 30 thousand young and middle-aged people among the hundreds of thousands, which greatly supplemented the shortage of young and middle-aged men in the Central Plains
This makes Wang Shichong happy, and at the same time, he is very worried about the scarcity of food in Dazheng. Now there are more than 100,000 people, and the food is even more stretched. At most, it can last until winter. What should people eat in Dazheng after winter? In order to solve the food crisis, Wang Shichong called several meetings to discuss and solve this problem.
Some people say that going to Li Tang to buy food was immediately rejected. How can Li Tang export food because it is short of food after repeated wars? After Li Tang was denied, there was only one answer left, that is, anti-Sui. However, anti-Sui has always strictly controlled the grain trade and is not allowed to flow to other countries. It is very difficult to get food aid from anti-Sui.
A few days ago, some desperate businessmen secretly transported some grain and tens of thousands of stones. The root is that it is a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to solve the grain crisis in Dazheng. Wang Shichong feels that it takes less than 300,000 stones to get the people through this winter and early spring.
Back in Luoyang, Wang Shichong, the courtiers of Dazheng still couldn’t find a way to discuss it for a long time. Wang Shichong Naide took the initiative to promote frugality, and the whole atmosphere of Dazheng Court seemed to be changing.
At this time, Li Shimin and Tang Jun were heading for Guzangcheng. After nearly half a month’s rush, Li Shimin killed Guzangcheng and set up a camp 50 miles south of the city. At this time, Qu Tutong has surrounded Guzangcheng impenetrable, and the camp in Sui Jun Camp is very organized. After Li Shimin arrived at Guzangcheng, he did not launch an attack, but tried to tell Guzangcheng Li Shentong that reinforcements arrived.
When Li Shimin arrived in Qu Tutong, he already knew that he had ordered all the villages and battalions not to attack easily without his orders. If there was any violation, the generals would be killed and forgiven. When they got the news, they were all worried. Qu Tutong was very strict in running the army. If there was any violation of the military orders, they would be punished. Therefore, the generals were afraid to say anything.
Qu Tutong sent many scouts to check the trend of Li Shimin, while Li Shimin personally took the scouts out to check the terrain and military intelligence. There were several confrontations outside the city of Gu Zang, and many scouts were killed and wounded. Li Shentong, the city of scouts, got the news and almost wanted to kill the city, but many arrow towers were built outside Qu Tutong, and various defense facilities were complete. Li Shentong rushed several times to break through Sui Jun’s defense, but many people were killed and wounded. Instead, he wanted to let Li Shimin go.
However, Li Shimin was helpless in the face of calm Qu Tutong
Li Shimin couldn’t do anything about Sui Jun camp, and Qu Tutong didn’t take the offensive. He waited, but a few days later, Qu Tutong got the news that shocked him. The West Turkic really sent troops and defeated the Tiele people in World War I. The karma only fled to Guzang with the remnants of two thousand people.
The news that the West Turkistan sent troops made Qu Tutong a little nervous. The West Turks were more powerful than the people. They occupied the Tianshan Mountains, north, south and west, and the Aral Sea. Most of the countries in the western regions were also vassals of the West Turkistan. Now the West Turkistan is aggressive, and it is very dangerous to act under attack around Sui Jun.
Qu Tutong was hesitant. He came with troops to make contributions. However, for some reasons, he postponed his attack on Guzangcheng. The western Turks suddenly came and broke the siege of Dunhuang, which dealt a heavy blow to the Tiele people. On the other hand, Qu Tutong achieved his goal, but his idea of cutting off the pseudo-Tang business road was dashed.
Let Qu Tutong wonder why there was no news of the killing of West Turkistan in Fangde? In the face of Qibi karma, Qu Tutong thought for a long time, and finally he decided to retreat from Qu Tutong. His decision was opposed by your generals. Some people say that if the West Turkistan angrily killed Da Sui, wouldn’t it lose the face of Da Sui if it retreated? A group of hot-blooded young people said that they could not just forget it in the face of the provocation of West Turkistan.
Qu Tutong was silent for a long time, but he decided to retreat. Those who disobeyed the military orders and engaged in military law were very opposed, but the prestige of the Longxi Army in Qu Tutong was very high, so it was considered that the karma was emotional and was also suppressed.
Sui Jun prepared for an organized retreat, and Li Shimin was puzzled by Sui Jun’s sudden retreat. At one time, Qu Tutong designed to ambush him. After all, Li Shimin had suffered several losses in Longxi battlefield, and this time, Li Zhiyun, the king of Chu, was given a certificate by Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong is not only a calm person, but also a scheming one, which needs to be carefully guarded against.
When Li Shimin found out that Qu Tutong was really retreating, he regretted it. He hurried to pursue all the way with Tang Jun, but Qu Tutong was faster than him. The previous step withdrew from Longxi, Li Shimin chased Jincheng to see Sui Jun, and he had to withdraw to Chang’ an with strict precautions.
Chang ‘an tang gaozu has received a military report from Li Shimin trotters. The smiling face muscles of tang gaozu are shaking repeatedly. The king of Qin has indeed pushed back Qu Tutong. Now tang gaozu is waiting for the prince’s military report. He hopes that the king of Qin can hit Qu Tutong hard. If possible, it is not impossible to wipe out Longxi in one fell swoop.
Tang gaozu’s heart was full of joy. He shook the battle report in his hand and shouted at Tai Li Jiancheng. "It’s good for Datang to build the people and defeat Qu Tutong as expected. Now it’s a good thing for Datang to reverse the situation!"
Li Jiancheng nodded and smiled. "Father Qin’s success this time is a great event, but I think it is urgent to recuperate and save strength until the situation in the Central Plains changes suddenly."
Tang gaozu nodded and said, "It’s really impossible to toss about the completion of Datang, just as you said."
Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed, "Father, son and minister have got the news that Shi Wanbao tried to rob Dou Jiande but fell short and was killed by Sui people."
Tang gaozu paced and said, "Shi Wanbao followed the Tang Dynasty for a long time. This time, it can be said that the country died. You should properly arrange his family and not let heaven and man down."
"hey!" Li Jiancheng replied and added, "Father and son have an idea."
"You say" tang gaozu nodded.
"Father Yang You’s life is of great benefit to the manager of Longxi Road in Qu Tutong. This time, Qu Tutong withdrew his troops far away from Yang You, Hebei Province. I don’t know that the middle curtain minister can send someone to spread rumors in Hebei, saying that Qu Tutong will be able to make Yang You withdraw from the post of manager of Longxi Road in Qu Tutong if he can’t force Qu Tutong to be less." Professor Li narrowed his eyes and laughed.
Tang gaozu paced and thought for a half-ring. "That’s a good plan. You can send people to Hebei to spread the news as quickly as possible. It’s not just Bashu in Hebei, it’s the lair of anti-Sui. Now if Yang You doesn’t Bashu, if it knows that Qu Tutong wants to fight terrorism, it will kill Qu Tutong’s family. In this case, Qu Tutong may be really against it!"
Li Jiancheng’s eyes lit up and he bowed his hand and said, "My father is right. I’m going to prepare for it and I’m sure it will be done properly!" 1453671763496+dsgu+74
Chapter 7 discuss sending troops
It took the Sui Dynasty, a populous province in Hebei, two months to properly resettle the victims.
Counties and counties reported the statistics to the imperial court, Du Ruhui, and after summarizing them, they handed them to Yang You and Yang You. After reading them, they had a clearer understanding of the disaster relief situation in Hebei. According to statistics, Hebei accepted a total of more than 500,000 young people, including about 100,000 children, and more than 200,000 were old and weak.
It is a great manpower supplement for Hebei to get 100,000 young people. Yang You has allocated the official land and left more than one million mu of official land. Yang You plans to open up wasteland for the remaining official land. In the future, people living in Hebei will return to Shandong, and this part of the land will be recovered.
All counties and counties made detailed notes and put the files in the government for future reference. Yang You carefully leafed through the situation in Hebei and thought about the next step. He summoned the Dugu Martial Arts Division and sent him to Shandong to check the situation in Wagang.
Soon the news that Wagang was carrying out rectification came to Yang You and was slightly taken aback. Was Shi Biao crazy this time? Then Yang You got the news from Cai Jiande, knowing that this was Cai Jiande’s suggestion that Yang You immediately understood Cai Jiande’s mind to avoid startling him. Yang You was not in a hurry to send troops to attack Wagang, but Dou Jiande, Du Ruhui and others led troops back to Le Shou.
Yang You called several meetings to discuss the policies and guidelines of Hebei. Because of the special geography of Hebei, Yang You needs a strong general manager to take charge of Hebei’s military and political affairs, and this person must be reliable. Dou Jiande has enough fame, but others have no will. Yang You persuaded Dou Jiande several times and expressed his firm desire to retire to Chengdu and become a rich man.
Yang You nai has to consider others Pei Hangyan, Luo Shixin and others are obviously incompetent, while Ling Jing, Song Zheng and others, although resourceful enough, have sent troops to fight a lot. Hebei is a Turk in the north, a pseudo-Tang state in the west and the Central Plains and Shandong in the south. Yang You will not choose them because of the great military pressure.
In the end, Yang You set his sights on the candidate Li Jingshen Li Jingshen’s resourcefulness. Although it is not political enough, adding Ling Jing and Song Zheng can make up for this shortcoming. After the candidate is selected, Yang You’s next step is to break through the tile hillock Li Jing to enter Hebei Dasui, and the traffic between the north and the south will be smooth.
The World War I against Wagang was a natural attack, so Yang You was still waiting for the news that Qu Tutong wanted to fight back in this period of Japanese music and life city, which was frightening. Later, Xiao Yu, who was guarding Bashu, also sent an urgent report that Qu Tutong wanted to fight back in Chengdu. Some people said that Qu Tutong should be taken as soon as possible.
Looking at the princes Yang You couldn’t help laughing. No one doubted him. He personally ordered the manager of Longxi, Qu Tutong, to be responsible for the military and political affairs in Longxi. He also performed very well in the war in Longxi, Qu Tutong. He defeated the pseudo-Tang military forces several times and continuously gained enough excellent horses. It can be said that Qu Tutong contributed.
It’s ridiculous that he rebelled at this crucial time when Qu Tutong didn’t oppose the late. Sure enough, as Yang You guessed, Qu Tutong was also sent to Yang You soon. After reading it, Yang You had a clearer understanding of Liangzhou World War I. He thought that Qu Tutong’s decision was a wise retreat, but it didn’t mean that he was afraid of the West Turkistan, although it was powerful, Yang You didn’t fear it. The strategic focus of the current Sui Dynasty was not on the western regions.
Yang You personally wrote two letters, one sent to Chengdu and the other to Longxi, indicating that he believed Qu Tutong, regardless of Qu Tutong’s performance, Yang You would not fail him. After Yang You’s letter was sent to Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong thanked Yang You for his gratitude and died bravely in the future. This is another story.
After Qu Tutong withdrew from Liangzhou, Li Yuan was so excited that he held several banquets to repel Qu Tutong and celebrate. However, he didn’t expect that greedy western Turks looted the two counties of Datang, Dunhuang and Zhangye soon, taking away tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, which made the two counties particularly depressed and taxes were greatly affected.
The shame of the west Turkic made Tang gaozu very angry, but his roots were not to be taunted by the west Turkic, so he had to swallow this tone and secretly vowed to teach the west Turkic a lesson if the Central Plains was unified in the future.
It is gradually entering October, and wheat has been harvested in some places. This is the most exciting moment for the central plains after years of war.
Li Jiancheng personally led officials of Taifu in China, Liangzhou and Bingzhou to inspect and urge the people to collect grain and enrich the treasury. Although the Tang Dynasty launched several battles this year, China and Bingzhou still achieved a bumper harvest. After paying off debts, the grain of Chang’ an government exceeded 300,000 stone. If there is no fighting in the coming year, the grain of Datang will exceed one million stone.
Wang Shichong personally took Tai Wang Xuan Ying, Chen Wang Duan Da and other court officials to go deep into Tian Min to harvest grain together. Wang Shichong also promised that he would make every effort to make the people have food, clothes and Wang Shichong dialect to cheer them up. They seem to have forgotten that they were originally Sui people.
