Chapter 1120 Forming a Corps
Seeing that the village head was still not wrong, Liu Bian shouted: "The imperial court's order has been issued. It's a small thing for you to disobey the order, but it delays the planting. Originally, the grain can be harvested in October, but if the planting is delayed, you will have to get the next five months." Grain can only be harvested when the wheat is mature. During this period, if the imperial court cannot supply food and grass, do you know what will happen to these common people?"

Seeing that Liu Bian was going to kill him, the village chief dared to retort: ​​"We have never seen the seeds given by the imperial court, so how can we plant them with confidence?"

Liu Bian said in a deep voice: "The court order is the destiny, you just need to obey it, disobeying is a death penalty, kill me!"

Yang Yansi raised the long sword early, and it was said that the village chief's life was killed with one sword strike.

Liu Bian said to Yu Qian again: "Yu Qian, re-elect a village chief to manage farming!"

"Promise!" Yu Qian bowed his hands and took the order, and called the people together to pick out a new village chief.

"Your Majesty, although the village chief is guilty, killing him is a bit... After all, he has never seen sweet potatoes or corn, so it is understandable for him not to dare to plant them!" Yang Miaozhen looked at the village chief's body and the frightened people, and couldn't help but Some pity.

Wei Xiaokuan cupped his hands and said: "General Yang, as the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters. Yuzhou has been in chaos for more than ten years since Yuan Shu, and the people no longer trust the government.

They only pay attention to their own interests. After experiencing Yuan Shu and Zhao Guangyi's two generations of governments, and now they are replaced by the Dahan government. Moreover, His Majesty has always been known for his benevolence. Naturally, these people don't care about the government's orders.

The ministers believed that the village chief should not only be killed, but also more people like him should be killed to establish the prestige of the court.Otherwise, if things go on like this, the common people will take the imperial government's decrees even more seriously.Only after the prestige has passed can you give virtue! "

Liu Bian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaokuan's words have benefited me a lot. Indeed, if the people who do not obey the government order are not severely punished, the next time the government issues a government order, the people don't understand the benefits, and they will resist again." You don’t follow the order. Pengju, you go back immediately, organize [-] cavalry, form an inspection team, and use centurions as units to go to various parts of Yuzhou to check the planting conditions of the people. If there is any progress, the village chief will be killed. !"

Yue Fei worried: "Your Majesty, if the punishment is too heavy, will these people resist and resist the court?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "There will definitely be conflicts, so the inspection team is also responsible for the security issues in various places. When the seeds are planted, and they harvest corn and sweet potatoes in October, they will know that the court is good, but they will hate it and resent being killed. The village chief!"

"The last general will do it!" After hearing this, Yue Fei felt relieved, got on his horse and returned to Shangqiu to form an inspection team.

In the village, Yu Qian also quickly selected a new village head, without saying any nonsense, the head of the village head was hung on the tree outside the village, and these people quickly took out their hoes and farm tools to sow seeds.

Since the wheat has only been harvested for two months and the land is not yet hard, it is not difficult to plant corn. It is only necessary to clear the weeds and the corn can be planted without digging the soil.After the long grains germinate, weeding and loosening the soil will do.

As for the cultivation of sweet potatoes, it is a little troublesome. The land needs to be refurbished and ridged, and the planting needs to be watered and irrigated. It is almost August now, and Liu Bian estimates that there will not be many sweet potatoes planted by the people. I am afraid that it will not be fully extended to Yuzhou this year.

Afterwards, Liu Bian led a group of civil and military officers to inspect the surrounding villages. In one day, they inspected seven villages in total. Except for the first village, five of the remaining six villages obeyed the imperial court's order. The last one only planted corn, not sweet potatoes, apparently not believing that the vines of sweet potatoes could grow food.

Liu Bian didn't kill the village chief, he just reprimanded him verbally. After all, he was very surprised and curious when he knew that ivy was used to sow sweet potatoes in his previous life.

It was almost dusk, and Liu Bian returned to Shangqiu.

Entering the government office in the city, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, Xu Da, Tan Daoji is here!"

Liu Bian was overjoyed and said, "Go and tell them to come here, and I will meet them after I take a bath and change my clothes!"

"promise!"

One day, after a private visit in Weifu, Liu Bian was also very dirty. After bathing and changing clothes to wash away the dust, Xu Da and Tan Daoji were already waiting outside the mansion.

Liu Bianzhao and the two entered the study.

The two came to the study and bowed to Liu Bian: "Xu Da, Tan Daoji has seen His Majesty!"

"You don't need to be too polite, please get up!" Liu Bian held his right hand empty and smiled, making the two feel like a spring breeze.The two let go of their restraint, got up and stood aside.

Liu Bian looked at the two and was very happy.

Xu Da is the number one hero of enlightenment, and his ability to command troops is not inferior to Yue Fei, Li Jing and others.And Tan Daoji is the author of the military book "36 Strategies". Basically, when marching and fighting, the strategies used by generals and schools cannot be separated from the scope of these 36 strategies.

Now that Yuzhou has just been pacified, Liu Bian decided to rest and recuperate, but the military aspect cannot be delayed, and now he must plan to form the Yuzhou Corps, which will be one of the main forces to attack Yangzhou after the recuperation strategy is over.

As usual, Liu Bian asked the two about the principles of the art of war, and the two answered fluently, which counted as an assessment.

After the assessment, Liu Bian said: "Now that Zhao Guangyi has been destroyed, I have obtained Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou. Jiangdong is temporarily difficult to capture, so I decided to rest for a while.

However, military affairs cannot be neglected, and a new corps needs to be formed to take charge of recuperating and attacking Jiangdong.After all, Jingzhou soldiers and horses and Jizhou soldiers and horses cannot stay in Yuzhou forever!The Qingzhou Corps cannot stay in Xuzhou forever!

You two know the art of war quite well, so I don't know what advice you have on this matter! "

Xu Da pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to form a corps, you must figure out how to attack Jiangdong! The so-called adapting measures to local conditions is also the same principle."

Liu Bian laughed and said, "Tell me, how do you attack Jiangdong?"

At this time, Tan Daoji cupped his hands and said: "Jiangdong now occupies the entire territory of Yangzhou, and it is mainly divided into three defense lines. One is the Yangtze River defense line bordering Xuzhou in the east, and the other is Lujiang and Jiujiang in the north of the river. After Sun Ce returned to Jiujiang, Gao Build walls and accumulate grain widely. This is the land line of defense. The third is Jiangxia County, which borders Jing. Now Jiangxia County is in Jiangdong's hands. Sun Ce only needs to guard the river mouth, and our troops will have difficulty going south. This is Jiangdong's third line. line of defense.

If our army wants to form a new corps, it must be formed according to Jiangdong's three lines of defense.Jiangdong has three lines of defense. Your Majesty should have three or even four corps responsible for attacking Jiangdong in case of emergencies.

First of all, Jiangxia has its own Jingzhou Corps to deal with it. Our army doesn't have to take care of this line of defense.

In this way, His Majesty will form a corps responsible for the other two lines of defense, all the way in Yuzhou, and be responsible for attacking Lujiang and Jiujiang in the north of Yangzhou in the future.All the way in Xuzhou, responsible for crossing the river south and marching into the mainland of Jiangdong!
