Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 291

It has been more than two months since Gao Jingzong left Sui County and went to Jiankang as a hostage. Covered with ice and snow, the cold wind was bitter, and the army of Beifu and the army of Yan State stopped all military operations by coincidence.

All departments of the Beifu Army have carried out intensive training, although due to the weather, large-scale military physical fitness and combat skills training will cause huge injuries, so all departments of the Beifu Army have carried out ideological education and training.Especially when Ran Yu returned from Jiankang, he seemed to be a different person, personally taking charge of the ideological education and training of the troops.On various occasions, Ran Yu publicly expressed the core idea of ​​ideological education - Beifu Army is Gao Jingzong's army, anyone who betrays Gao Jingzong, the whole army, everyone will be punished.

There are policies and measures to counter.Generals at all levels responsible for ideological education and political work carried out this idea very thoroughly. They didn't care whether they were loyal to the court or not.

For this reason, Ji Kan was also very helpless.Ran Yu's move is undoubtedly tantamount to surrendering the Beifu army to Gao Jingzong.Ji Kan, Feng Lei and other generals of Ran Weiguo had secretly discussed many times, but they failed to come up with a reasonable countermeasure.

Cui Cheng was in charge of overall government affairs and led the people to organize large-scale production activities.It greatly improved the embarrassing situation of the lack of supplies of the Beifu Army.At this time, Xia Guo was up and down, like a clockwork machine mustered all its strength to deal with the fierce battle after the beginning of spring.

As the Spring Festival approaches, it is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation.In Xiaguo, Shi Cuizhen still attached great importance to it. Regardless of the wind, snow and severe cold, from Siwu to Jiaodong, Cui Zhi and Chen Yingbing divided into two groups, and conducted a non-stop inspection work.The inspection results are generally satisfactory. At least officials at all levels in the Xia Kingdom are fairly clean. Although they are not very skilled in government affairs, they have ensured the orderly operation of government agencies at all levels.

This inspection work took no less than two thousand miles back and forth.For Cui Zhi and Chen Ying, it is not a small job.Especially Chen Ying, who is fat and has lost a lot of weight than before.Although he was still very fat at this time, he looked more energetic.At this time, the population of Sui County had exceeded 50.In the Neishi Mansion, Cui Yao was busy writing a summary report, and was about to have someone inform Gao Jingzong of Xia Guo's situation.

However, just after Cui Zhi finished writing this summary report, suddenly Cui Daoren, Cui Daoren, the housekeeper of Cui Zhi's clan, came in and reported: "Lu Shijun, Chen Sima, and General Xu are here to visit!"

Cui Yi knew that the two of them should have some important business to visit at this time, otherwise Chen Ying would not give up the opportunity to rest.During this tour, Chen Ying suffered for all to see, and even Cui Yi felt sorry for him.Xu Jingxuan has always seen that Chen Ying does not deal with it, but in fact it is not only because of Chen Ying's failure to deal with it, perhaps because of his professional habits, Xu Jingxuan feels uneasy when he sees everyone.

Cui Yao is not worried about Xu Jingxuan's suspicion, at least he is upright and not afraid of the shadow being crooked.Cui Cheng smiled and said: "General Xu, you are a busy person, what brought you here?"

Xu Jingxuan pointed to Lu Yonghua and said, "Some new things have been discovered by Lu Changshi, and I feel something is wrong!"

Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yonghua said: "In the past few days, the number of people entering our Xia Kingdom through Yanzhou, Duchang, Chenliu, Gaoyang, Pingyuan, and Leling has suddenly increased. In just ten days, tens of thousands of people have poured in."

Cui Cheng said: "Isn't this normal? Xianbei and Bailu regard the people of our Han family as pigs and dogs, killing and bullying wantonly. The people who could not survive under the Yan Kingdom flocked to our Xia Kingdom to flee for their lives, shouldn't we? Can we just sit back and watch?" Our compatriots were tortured to death by the Yan army?"

Lu Yonghua said: "It should be, but I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

"Oh!" Cui Yi said, "Could it be that Yan Guo wants to take this opportunity to infiltrate a batch of secret works?"

Xu Jingxuan took over the conversation and said: "It is Xu's responsibility to investigate and prevent the spy from mixing in to create turmoil. But the problem is that the identities of these people are not problematic, and they are not spy at all!"

"It's not careful work?" Cui Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's easy to handle if it's not careful work. We will do our best to save one more person."

Lu Yonghua said with difficulty: "These populations are of no use to our Xia Kingdom!"

"Absurd!" Cui Cheng said, "The most direct key to the strength and decline of a country is taxation and population. Now our Xia Kingdom has a lot of people and a small amount of land. The more people there are, the more land we can reclaim, and the taxes we can receive in the future." The more money and grain, and the more tax money and grain, our Xia Kingdom will only become stronger and stronger."

Lu Yonghua said solemnly: "These people are either old or weak, or women and children. There are no young people at all. We can neither recruit soldiers nor cultivate wasteland for these people. It is useless except to increase the burden!"

Cui Cheng was also a little surprised this time.

Xia Guo's supplies can barely guarantee the needs of the military and civilians now, and there is still a huge gap from being rich.If the population explodes, it is a very serious problem.At this time, Gao Jingzong had no way to buy supplies, not to mention the money in Gao Jingzong's hands was almost spent.Cui Cheng subconsciously wants to refuse to accept these common people...

However, this idea can only be thought about.The reputation that Gao Jingzong has accumulated with great difficulty will be discredited by Yan Guo in an instant.

Cui Zhi thought for a while and said: "These matters must be handled carefully and arranged as best as possible. These newcomers should not be resettled near Sui County. This will be the main battlefield in the future. We cannot keep too many people and transfer them to the south. In addition, Wei must investigate this matter as soon as possible!"

Xu Jingxuan said: "Actually, you don't need to investigate. This must be a conspiracy by the white captives of the Yan State. Its purpose is to increase our pressure and overwhelm our Beifu army. As long as the people eat most of our food, the Yan State will be ready for spring." The army doesn't need to be overwhelmed by a large army, but only a small group of cavalry is dispatched to harass us, so we can't carry out spring plowing..."

Lu Yonghua said: "In that case, we can't open up the supply of food. We must adopt a quantitative supply system from now on to save food. Even if the land is reclaimed, it will be harvested after autumn, and it will not be able to quench our thirst. Our materials and food cannot withstand such a situation. Consumption. It's dangerous to go on like this..."

"No, don't say it!" Cui Cheng said: "This is not acceptable. I don't think the Lord will agree to do this. Everyone knows what the Lord is thinking. If we don't save these people, what's the point of restoring the Central Plains?"

"What's the point of expelling the barbarians?"

"If we don't care about the life and death of the people, what is the difference between us and that imperial court?"

Faced with Cui Zhi's repeated questions, Lu Yonghua was extremely ashamed: "I also understand this. It is precisely because most of these people are old and weak, women and children, and very few are young and strong, that I feel that it is a conspiracy by the white captives of Yan State."

Cui Cheng jumped up against the case and shouted: "They are not a conspiracy, this is an open conspiracy!"

The biggest difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy is that the conspiracy can only be seen through, and all dangers can be easily resolved.Just like Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, creating a disagreement between Zhou and Huang, so that Huang Gai could surrender with affection and reason, and used Cao Cao's trick to surrender.But if Cao Cao had really seen Huang Gai's false surrender at that time, Zhou Yu's plot would have failed.The implementation of Yangmou is a plan in which the actual intention and the real intention are unified.All actions and plans are seen and known by the opponent.Yangmou is different from conspiracy. Yangmou has a certain deterrent effect, and it is possible to make the opponent surrender without fighting, which is an effect that conspiracy cannot achieve.

Everyone now knows that the old and weak Han people were forced to flee to the counties and counties controlled by the Beifu Army.For these common people, the Beifu Army can adopt two methods: accept or not accept them.To accept these old and weak people is naturally a huge and heavy burden for the Beifu Army.In the end, the Beifu army will be dragged down by these countless old and weak women and children.But if these people were not accepted, the image of benevolence and righteousness that Gao Jingzong established in the hearts of the Chinese people would collapse.No matter which method is adopted, the country of Yan will make a steady profit without losing money.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy. In fact, it's not unsolvable!" Xu Jingxuan said: "We can also repay him in the same way!"

"What?" Cui Yao pointed at Xu Jingxuan and angrily said, "How dare you!"

Xu Jingxuan said disapprovingly: "I think Cui Neishi misunderstood, and please ask Cui Neishi to listen to the words of a certain family before making a fuss!"

Cui Cheng snorted coldly, "Say it!"

Xu Jingxuan said: "It's actually very simple, we can do this..."

As he spoke, Xu Jingxuan whispered softly in Cui Cheng's ear.

Although Chen Ying and Lu Yonghua couldn't hear what Xu Jingxuan said, they could see that the expression on Cui Zhi's face was extremely exciting at the moment, either excited, resentful, unhappy, frightened, or excited... …

　I've been very busy recently, so updates will be slow.Some friends are starting to worry about whether they will be eunuchs. You can rest assured about this. The worst result is to send out the outline and finish the book.If you don't want to wait, you can delete the book from the shelf.
