Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 971 Kong Ming’s Plan 1
After a few days of busy work, things in Xindu are gradually on the right track. Although some aristocratic families oppose Gongsun Xu's reforms, under the absolute power, the resistance of these aristocratic families is so feeble. Sun Jing, the representative of the clan, raised his hands unconditionally to support Gongsun Xu's reform at this time, which made the family members of other centuries-old clans have no reason to object. You must know that the largest family in Jiangdong is originally the Sun family. Even though the Sun Ce brothers are gone, the foundation is still there. If the Sun family is like this, then how can other aristocratic families resist.

"Sun Jing is very knowledgeable, not bad." Gongsun Xu put down the information and said with a smile: "Shi Yuan, it's up to you to coordinate the business affairs of the Jiangdong family. In this matter, you can give Sun Jing some sweetness. I will never treat anyone who sincerely contributes to me, and as for those aristocratic families who have made mistakes, hehe, just don't be too cruel."

"No, I understand." Pang Tong agreed with neither joy nor sadness, but he was overjoyed in his heart. You must know that among Gongsun Xu's many counselors, he is relatively young and has the lowest qualifications. On Jiangdong's side, Gongsun Xu entrusted him to take care of so many important matters, which proved to be a signal that he was about to be reused.

"My lord, an urgent report from the four counties in the south of Jingzhou." Zhang Fei walked in and handed over a piece of information and said, "General Guan Yu has been leading troops against Liu Bei's army, and the two sides have attacked and defended each other. The army did not intend to withdraw immediately. These days, Zhengfang began to increase troops towards that side, and Zhuge Liang was about to withdraw his troops. General Guan wanted to entangle the opponent, but the two sides fought several times.

Our army has elite soldiers with strong morale, coupled with the superiority of armor and weapons, they did not suffer much. However, according to detailed reports, Zhuge Liang has been storing water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River during this period. Judging from the previous signs, he is very It may be that he wanted to use the flood to defeat our army, but our army had already taken Jiangdong before that time. Now, I am afraid that he has other plans. "

"No, my lord, I know the talent of Kong Ming very well." Pang Tong said quickly: "I have also seen this method of using the power of mountains and rivers to attack the enemy. If I guess correctly, Kong Ming is probably trying to use the power of the Yangtze River to attack the enemy." Zhishui made up for the disadvantage in terms of strength. If our army pursued in a hurry, the flood would wipe out even a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

Apart from the danger of General Guan Yu on the front line, the four counties in the southern part of Jingzhou and all parts of Jiangdong will also be affected to some extent. If the water of the Yangtze River breaks through the embankment, all parts of Jiangdong will definitely suffer from floods, and it will be difficult to resume production within a few years. What's worse, Not long after our army captured Jiangdong, although Sun Ce did not leave any mess for us, if we want to build a good place in Jiangdong, the initial investment must be not small. If such floods are added, our army's investment may be much more. Doubling it. "

"Immediately send a letter to Yunchang, ordering him to stop the pursuit of the Shu army, find a suitable place to camp, and build a dam on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent the flood, and order the Jingzhou navy to collect ships and put them on combat readiness. If a flood really breaks out, I'm afraid Only our warships can search and rescue drowning people." Gongsun Xu frowned and ordered every day: "In addition, order the Jingzhou garrison to evacuate the downstream people immediately, and officials from all over the country must handle this matter well. Zhuge Liang, if you really dare to do this This kind of thing that people and gods are angry with, I will definitely ruin your reputation, be reviled by the world, and be infamous forever."

It is absolutely false to say that Gongsun Xu is not angry. What Pang Tong said just now is not impossible. He may not be very clear about who Zhuge Liang is, but Zhuge Liang in history did not use less tricks to achieve his goals, and most of them It's all poisonous tricks.

There is no counselor who does not have some blood on his hands. In Gongsun Xu's opinion, the most hateful thing about Zhuge Liang is that he has done so many bad things, and he still has to be flattered, thanked, and praised. Counselor, as a military adviser, if you are not cruel enough, you will definitely not be able to do it.

However, Gongsun Xu vaguely remembered that Zhuge Liang was scheming too many people, so his impression of Zhuge Liang was not as worshiped as other people.

In the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu let Cao Cao go because of Zhuge Liang's calculations. In the end, Guan Yu had to thank Zhuge Liang for not killing him.In order to help Liu Bei conquer Ma Chao, Zhuge Liang used tricks to separate Ma Chao and Zhang Lu, and then came forward to rescue Ma Chao. While forcing Liu Bei to conquer Ma Chao, Ma Chao's wife and children were all killed. In the end, Ma Chao had to thank Zhuge for his ingenious plan. great strategy.

There are too many examples like this. Gongsun Xu didn't think that a counselor like Zhuge Liang would really care about the lives and deaths of thousands of people, let alone think that Zhuge Liang would think about the people of the Li people under his rule. Perhaps, in Zhuge Liang It seems that the best way to deal with the enemy is to effectively destroy the opponent's territory and effectively kill the opponent to rule the people. How could he not use such a clever trick to draw money from the bottom.

"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, don't use such poisonous tricks." Pang Tong sighed, "I know you are a great talent, rare in the world, and I understand your ambitions, but you always like to use such methods to attack people." Prove yourself to others, alas, as everyone knows, how many innocent people have shed blood and sacrificed for you alone, you are committing crimes,,,,,,"

Gongsun Xu's order spread to Guan Yu's army as quickly as possible. After receiving the order, Guan Yu immediately gave up his plan to pursue, and the soldiers quickly moved the camp to the highest nearby hill. At the same time, Guan Yu ordered the lieutenant generals to build rafts immediately As a spare, most of the peasants and nearby people were recruited to build dikes and dams to prevent accidents.

On a hill more than 200 miles away from Guan Yu's army camp, Zhuge Liang stared coldly at the water of the Yangtze River rolling east, and then looked at the soldiers in the army who were working in the distance.

"Military Master, is this necessary?" Chen Dao walked up to Zhuge Liang and asked, "My lord will definitely not agree with us. The four counties of Jingzhou and those places in Jiangdong with lower terrain will be affected. Isn’t the water used to stop the enemy? Now that Guan Yu has stopped pursuing, our army can enter the land of Shu smoothly, this water,,,,,,,”

"Cutting off its roots, destroying its source, destroying its production, eliminating households, food, and soldiers, can ensure that our army will not be attacked by the enemy." Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and smiled: "If you want to use the army to achieve this effect I don’t know how many people will be killed or injured. I do this because I consider it for my lord. This matter is settled like this. It has been raining continuously in recent days. Even if we don’t do this, the flood will still erupt. This is God’s will. Nothing to do,,,,,, "

In various towns and villages in the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, groups of people are being relocated with their families and families. Teams of cavalry rode back and forth between the villages to urge the people to leave quickly. Many people are nostalgic for their homeland and say nothing. Willing to go, as for the flood that the people said, many people don't take it seriously, how do they know that a disaster is coming to them.
