The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 465 Zhong Hui's Plan ([-])

In May of AD 273, Shouchun.

This important town in Huainan has been the general logistics base for the northern Central Plains regime to attack the southern regime since the Cao Wei era.But now, due to the situation, it was handed over to Soochow.

The one who led the troops to accept this city was Zhong Hui, the new general of Soochow Wu and the governor of Jiangbei.

In this era, population is the most important strategic resource.Therefore, even though the Soochow envoy declared at the Luoyang court that they had won Jihan's Cang County, Jin should fulfill the agreement to deliver Shouchun.However, Pei Xiu, Jia Chong and others still delayed for a few months and moved most of the people on the south bank of the Huaihe River to Huaibei before the official delivery.

Therefore, what Zhong Hui got was just an empty city.

The troops stationed in the Eastern Wu Jiangbei War Zone are actually the Yangzhou Corps.As the garrison corps defending the capital, even after many times of mobilizing soldiers and horses to support the Jingzhou and Jiaozhou theaters, there are actually a full 2 people.After all the Yangzhou Corps of the Jin State retreated northward, Shouchun was actually undefended.Zhong Hui could have forcibly moved in before the Jin State had finished withdrawing its people.

But he didn't.

"Uncle, the whole army has settled down, and my nephew has already checked carefully. The Jin people have not demolished or damaged the city wall. It's just that there are no people around here at all. Oh, the rice fields nearby are growing gratifyingly, but Without the care of the common people, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this year's autumn harvest."

"Hehehe, it's okay." Looking around quickly with his eyes, Zhong Hui lowered his voice and said to Zhong Yong, "Do you think the aristocratic families in Jiangnan will not pay attention to such a fertile land in Jiangbei and Huainan? Besides, Jin Only ordinary people were evacuated from the country, how could those aristocratic and powerful families with their manors and foundations here be willing to abandon their foundations and go to Huaibei to start over? Let’s see, it won’t be long before Wei Shu’s place will become lively.”

"So that's how it is. It's just that this land is allotted to the aristocratic family, so what about us?"

"I have already handed over the form to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to allocate [-] Shanyue people from Danyang County to farm near Shouchun and Hefei. Aren't these fields all ready-made?"

"Uh... there are only a hundred thousand people from Shanyue, so I still hate less."

"More than that, a few days ago, after it was determined that Uncle Wei led the army to occupy Shouchun, the heads of the Kuaiji family have quietly sent people to discuss with Uncle Wei."

"Ah...that's right, the imperial court has now made it clear that they will attack the Kuaiji family. If they don't want to sit still, they must cunningly create a new foundation in Huainan. If they can get the support of my uncle at this time, I think they can get here quickly. Stand firm. And Uncle can also get a confidant."

"Hehehe..." At this point, the uncle and nephew smiled knowingly, and everything was kept silent.

A few days later, when Uncle Zhong Hui and his nephew frequently met with representatives from all walks of life, dealt with various civil affairs all night long, and slowly began to straighten out the relationship between the newly acquired land in Huainan.A close friend came to report that someone from Huaibei had come to visit.The person who came gave a jade pendant to the gatekeeper, saying that the general would definitely meet Yunyun when he saw this thing.

"In fact, it was already determined that someone from the north would come, but I never expected that it would be your Jia Cheqi!"

"Hey, Shi Ji, don't say these things are useless. If you hadn't gone east to Wu State back then, filling the position may not be above you."

"Hehehe, Hui didn't help Simazi kill the emperor. Even if I helped him destroy the Shu Kingdom back then, that would be a cunning rabbit!"

"You! Shi Ji, with your appearance, there is no way to talk about this!"

"Hahaha~~ Brother Gonglu, why is this so? The meeting just now was just a joke. It has been a long time since the meeting with His Majesty of our country, looking forward to your country's important envoy. Come, come, please take a seat. Today's meeting, only you The two of us can talk about anything!"

"Hey..." After the two parties sat down, Jia Chong drank a large glass of white wine with a sullen head: "It smells like a bottle? It's not bad, but it's a pity that although this wine is good, the country that produces it is greedy!"

"Hey~~ Gonglu, I was in Sima Zishang's shogunate in the past, of course I couldn't die with Pei Jiyan, but my relationship with you is quite harmonious. Why are you doing all this to me now? Really? To be honest, your country has just handed over Huainan, and you will be busy all day long without touching the ground. There will be an interview later, so if you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Good, then I'll just say it straight. Now, the battle between Han and Jin is at a stalemate, and the competition is the logistics of the two countries. As for my Dajin, maybe I can survive this year, but next year, I will definitely not be able to."

"Well, I have been in the north for many years, and I am well aware of your country's problems. Since the death of Zi Shanggong, the aristocratic family and the powerful have lost their restraint. Whether it is embezzling state assets or embezzling state households, they are unscrupulous. Such a country, Compared with Han, which has a well-organized government and a harmonious people, it is strange to be able to win in logistics. Well, what does your country need me to do? What does it need my emperor to do?"

"Two. First, grain. Your country imported at least 500 million shi of grain into our country this year. I'm talking about 500 million shi of grain shipped to Luoyang. Next year, you will continue to support us with 500 million shi. Second, your country's army is in Cang County It really didn’t work, and we had to change direction to make a real difference to Han.”

"Well, even if we start from Jianye, take the sea route, go to the mouth of the Yellow River and then enter the hinterland of your country. The loss will not be small if the whole journey is transported by water. 500 million shi, that is to say, our country has to spend at least 700 shi every year Wan Shi’s food supports your country. So, what will your country exchange for?”

"Xiangyang! We will hand over Xiangyang to you. With Xiangyang, you will also have a piece of land in Jiangbei, the boundary of Jingzhou. Moreover, the intersection of the Han River and the Yangtze River is completely under your control. In this way, Jingzhou in your country will be completely safe. "

"Hehehe, another empty city for Dawu?"

"Hehe, Shi Ji, isn't this bad? If this happens, wouldn't those aristocratic families in Jingzhou in your country be grateful to Shi Ji?"

"Huh, Jia Gonglu, you have a good plan. After Xiangyang was given to our country, our country bordered on the remaining Cao Wei party who lived in Shangyong. The second point you just said is not to change the main force of our country in order to really mobilize the Han country. How about troops? Now that Jiaozhou and Badong are in dire straits, and the roads in Fuling County can’t support the movement of large troops. Handing over Xiangyang to us, wouldn’t it be a good time for us to attack Shangyong? Ah, speaking of which, this idea is yours. Born in the world, right? After all, if you can’t tolerate Cao Wei’s strength the most, the Sima family will be behind you!”

"Shi Ji was known as the most resourceful in Emperor Wen's shogunate, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved. However, doing so is also good for your country. If my Jin Dynasty dies, your country will be passive everywhere. Even if I am a big Jin survived this difficulty, doesn't the future development of your country also need the territory of Xiangyang?"

Looking at the silent Zhong Hui, Jia Chong became anxious: Cao Ti of Shangyong, Cao Huan of Yecheng... Once the Jin Kingdom is defeated in the future.Perhaps for the stability of Kanto, Ji Han may suppress the Cao family and let the Sima family go, but he will not let himself go no matter what!Therefore, in this secret meeting, on the one hand, it is true that there is a big problem with Jin's logistics support, and Soochow's help is urgently needed.On the other hand, as Zhong Hui said, he has his own selfishness.

He stood up, approached Zhong Hui and said, "Shi Ji, is your talent enough for a general? Besides, although you are not yet married, your Zhong family is a big family in Yingchuan. You must Think about your family."

"Hmph!" Jia Cheqi was completely upset at this meeting, and actually said such unlevel words.Suddenly, Zhong Hui let out a muffled snort.

"Since I was born, I have been hostile by my aunt at home. I have lived under the name of a wild species since I was a child. My biological mother was bullied at home and finally died for no reason. Yingchuan Zhong? Sima Zi back then I really look down upon you for not destroying the three clans! Jia Gonglu, if you can persuade Sima Anshi to wipe out the Yingchuan Zhong clan when you return to Luoyang, then I will agree to the two things you just mentioned. Down. And I must be sure to persuade my Majesty!"
