At the beginning of the summer of that year, the pottery merchants, with their supreme authority, began to fully implement the Shang Dynasty reform in the states ruled by the Great Wei State, under the auspices of Shang Ying.
Before I knew it, it was two months later.
Yejing, the main hall of the royal palace.
"King, General Huo from the north came to report that Liu Bei had taken the daughter of the late Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as a righteous daughter, married the Xianbei leader in the name of harmony, and got into a relationship with the Xianbei people."
At the bottom of the stairs, Zhang Yi read the latest information.
The pottery merchant frowned slightly, and a sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "This big-eared thief really has the demeanor of his ancestors, and he has played the trick of kissing again." ” When the words fell, Su Qin stood up and said: "Liu Bei and his relatives Xianbei are obviously afraid of our national strength, and they know that they are invincible, and they want to lure Xianbei people into the fortress, thinking that they will help."
Xianbei has become more and more powerful in recent years, and I heard that there are 100,000 cavalry with controlled strings, and if it is really ordered to join forces with Liu Bei, it will be a great disaster for our country. ” As soon as Su Qin fought the main battle, the ministers under the rank immediately boiled, especially those generals, all of whom were enthusiastic and shouted to crusade against Liu Bei.
The potter was not so excited, and looked at Shang Ying.
Shang Ying immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The big-eared thief colluded with Xianbei Hulu, which is indeed a big trouble, but now the law change has just been implemented, and it has not yet achieved results, it is the most critical moment, Martingale thinks that at this time, we must focus on the overall situation of the law change, and we must not raise troops on a large scale." ” The potter moved slightly, and it was obvious that Shang Ying had spoken to his heart.
Xiao He also came out of the class and said: "The implementation of the law change will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the domestic clans, and if we want to destroy Liu Bei, we must raise the army of the country, if the rest of the countries come to attack again, the soldiers and horses of the whole country will almost have to rush to the border, and the domestic troops will be empty, if the clans are in turmoil, we will not fall into internal and external troubles, which is really a great disadvantage." ” The analysis of the two Wenchen pointed out the current situation, and also made the generals calm down and no longer call for war in anger.
"Just let the big-eared thief jump around for a few more days, just because he colluded with Hu Lu, this king will never spare him" The pottery merchant had made up his mind and decided to put aside the plan to cut down Yan for the time being, and his attention returned to the change, so he asked Shang Ying for information about the change.
Shang Ying said that under the protection of the powerful military power of the Great Wei Dynasty and the supreme prestige of the pottery merchants, although the clans in various places were dissatisfied, they could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, and no one dared to rebel and rebel.
After saying the good side, as soon as the conversation changed, Shang Ying said again: "It's just that many of the clan have clearly seen that changing the law will harm their interests, so they raised the whole clan, with private soldiers and family wealth, fled from their hometowns, and began to flee to several surrounding countries. ” Among the clan, there are many talented people, if these people flee to Cao Cao, Sun Ce, or Liu Bei, and use them for their use, they will definitely strengthen their strength.
Moreover, the clans are all extremely wealthy families, and as soon as they flee, they will sweep away all the wealth they have accumulated for generations, which will also cause economic losses to the Great Wei.
In the end, the powerful people of the world have raised a lot of private soldiers, some hundreds, many thousands, and the total number of people is not a few.
These people, originally the potters planned to separate them from the control of the clan and turn them into household members of the state through the change of law, so as to enrich the national strength of the Great Committee.
"Which country have these clans fled to?"
the potter asked with a frown, apparently having caught his attention.
Shang Ying continued: "The clan of Bingzhou has been almost wiped out by the king before, and it can be ignored now.
In Jizhou, because the area connecting Yan is mostly plain, which is not conducive to hiding, the probability of escaping Yan and being captured by the border patrol is very great, so there are very few families in Jizhou who flee to Yan. ” "As for the Qin side."
Shang Ying walked to the map hanging on the side wall and pointed to the west of the pass, "Although it is very close to the Central Plains, there is the danger of Hangu Pass, and there is a Qinling County Mountain in the middle to block it, which is extremely unfavorable to traffic, so there are very few clans who flee to the Qin State." ” Then, Shang Ying pointed to the southeast direction, "Because of the Huaishui barrier, above the Huaishui, there is also Le Yi arranged Xu Yangshui Division to patrol strictly, so the clans want to cross the Huaishui and go to Jiangdong to join the Wu State, and the difficulties are also very great." ” "In this way, the place where the clans can escape, there is only the Chu State left" The pottery merchant nodded slightly, and he had already seen the fame.
"Exactly."
Shang Ying pointed in the direction of Nanyang, "The part bordering my Great Wei and Chu State, there are no mountains to block the fusion, there is no big water to block the road, there are many roads leading to the Chu State, and the hills are dense, which is extremely conducive to hiding their whereabouts, so most of the families who fled chose to flee to the Chu State through Nanyang to join Liu Biao." ” Liu Biao Tao Shang's heroic face gradually ignited a trace of cold murderous intent, and sneered: "It seems that it is time to destroy Liu Biao, take the last comfort nest of the clan, and let them obediently wait to be slaughtered." ” King Wei intends to destroy Chu As soon as these words came out, the blood that had just fallen silent in the hall boiled again, and the generals were immediately excited, and they shouted again one after another.
Military generals can make meritorious contributions through wars, and they naturally have a battle to fight, regardless of who you fight.
The Wenchen strategists are different, they have to consider the overall situation, think more far-reaching, and naturally they are not as excited as the generals.
"The king of Shicai is determined to focus on the overall situation of changing the law, and does not use troops against the Yan State, but now he wants to use troops against the Chu State, it seems that there are some" Xiao He did not finish his words, but the meaning was already clear.
The potter said proudly: "Liu Bei's strength is far better than Liu Biao, and to destroy Liu Bei naturally needs to raise the army of the country, is it necessary to use the army of the country to destroy Liu Biao?"
Xiao He was asked and was speechless for a while.
At this time, Zhang Liang, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up, arched his hand and smiled slightly: "The king is reasonable, although Liu Biao has a lot of soldiers and enough food, but unfortunately his army's combat effectiveness is not strong, it is good to estimate, we only need to dispatch 50,000 cavalry, and we can set the strategic goal as capturing Xiangyang, without going deep into the Yangtze River area, we have to destroy the entire territory of Chu State." ” Zhang Liang's words strengthened the confidence of the potter, and made him think broadly.
As long as he can capture Xiangyang, he can push the southern border to the first line of Hanshui, and when there is a dangerous barrier of Hanshui, it is equivalent to completely cutting off the route of the clans to flee to the south.
"If you want to break Xiangyang, our army must fight quickly, although Liu Biao's army is all in Xiangyang, but after the defeat of the previous five countries to attack our Great Wei, he has ordered the general Wen to appoint, in Xinye, Yuyang two cities to strengthen the city defense, obviously to prevent our army from attacking, once there is a storm, Liu Biao can send a large army into these two cities, in the meantime, our army is not in a protracted war, which is obviously not conducive to our implementation of the law."
Although Shang Ying also agreed to use troops against Liu Biao, he raised his own worries.
"Shang Qing's worries are not unreasonable, Zifang, do you have any good strategy to break through the Chu State quickly" Tao Shang's expectant eyes looked at Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and a confident smirk appeared on his face, "Since this is the case, then we will give Liu Yan a plan to attack the west, so that he will not have time to send troops to enter the second city of Xinye Yuyang." ” A plan to attack the west The potter's thoughts flickered, his eyes turned a few times, and suddenly he realized.
With a sneer, the pottery merchant happily shouted: "Pass the order, order Yingbu to lead the army to gather in Pubanjin, and then order Zhou Yafu to lead the army of Hongnong, approaching Tongguan, this king will lead the main force of 50,000 foot cavalry, Keri will be stationed in Nanyang, attack from three sides, and destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop."
Destroy Qin The expressions of the ministers changed, and they were all shocked and shocked by the pottery merchant's royal order.
Just now, his king still focused on attacking Chu, how could he destroy Wei in the blink of an eye, but he wanted to destroy Wei, which also became too sudden, and all the generals were shocked and dazed.
Fan Xu even touched his brain and shouted: "King, it's not that I, Lao Fan, complains, you will destroy Chu in a while, and attack Qin in a while, who are you telling us to destroy, I am confused." ” The potter smiled and waved his hand: "You just have to follow the order, and you will naturally know when the time comes." ” The generals were puzzled, but Shang Ying, Xiao He and other civil servants and strategists had suddenly realized, and their eyes showed admiration.
Although the generals have doubts, but they have always known that their king is best at surprise soldiers, often have whimsical means, let them be surprised, now the potters are so confident, although the ministers are suspicious, but they dare not have any objections.
The potter then got up, swept the ministers in front of the palace with eagle eyes, waved his hand, and said loudly: "When you disperse, everyone should prepare early, and Keri will go to Wancheng with this king." ” "No" The ministers dispersed, the mobilization order for the war was issued, and the entire Lianghe Prefectures where the Great Wei was based soon boiled.
Tens of thousands of troops began to assemble in the direction of Xudu, and the young and strong Dingfu of Lianghe were also mobilized and prepared to run grain and grass.
Except for a few resourceful strategists, the whole of the Great Wei Kingdom thought that their King of Wei would lead their undefeated army to attack the Qin State in three ways and destroy Cao Cao.
Wei made such a big move, and soon made a detailed work and sent the information to Chang'an.
Cao Cao immediately became nervous, and although he was suspicious of the real goal of the potters, he did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly transferred heavy troops to the front line of Wuguan, Tongguan and Pubanjin, and put on a posture of refusal.
As for Liu Biao of Chu State, the heavy troops stationed in Xiangyang did not cross the Han River and entered the front line of Yuyang Xinye.

Receiving the information from the Chu State, the potter smiled, he knew that the strategy that Zhang Liang offered to him to attack the west had worked.
Time passed day by day, the army of the Great Wei has been assembled, in the middle of summer, the king of the Great Wei pottery merchant, personally led the 50,000 elite cavalry army, with the confidence of victory, the mighty from the capital of Xu, into the first line of Wancheng, and the veteran Lian Po rendezvous.
In order to protect the smooth implementation of the reform and prevent the clan from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause rebellion, in addition to the army guarding the border of the four directions, the potters also left nearly 50,000 troops in the country to guard the interior.
The army was sent from Xudu, and soon entered Wancheng, and the pottery merchants appointed Meng Tian as the vanguard, and went north from Wancheng, posing a trend of marching to Wuguan.
Under the cover of this illusion, the potter suddenly showed his hideous true face, and after the army went north from Wancheng, under the cover of night, he suddenly changed its route to the south, and went straight to Yuyang City, the northern gateway of Chu State. isjgy:
