Xingyang, the camp of the coalition army.
Yuan Shu sat on the throne of the alliance leader, with a heavy heart, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chen Deng, and Sun Ce sat at Yuan Shu's hands respectively, and their faces were also complicated, and the atmosphere in the tent was dull.
"Originally, you said that you would wait for three days, but now that three days have passed, can't you say what means are there" Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear this dull atmosphere, and looked at Yuan Shu, with an unspeakable depression in his tone.
"Don't wait" Yuan Shao closed his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I contacted the sergeant of the court, hoping to raise troops during the period when the Son of Heaven was personally conscripted, cut off the return of the Son of Heaven, and make Tiger Prison Pass a lonely city, but now it seems that those people are afraid that there will be more than one luck." ” Sighing, Yuan Shao looked at everyone: "When the Son of Heaven passed on the engraving and printing technology to the world, although he was a little impressed by the Ministry of Industry, he did not take this matter to heart. ” When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, in fact, among the princes, Cao Cao was a person who recognized some of Liu Xie's concepts, and in private, he also attached more importance to craftsmen, and even opened a workshop in Pengcheng to gather craftsmen.
But Cao Cao can't directly integrate craftsmen into the military like Liu Xie, and even in a war, he can enjoy military merits and get promoted, and therefore, he can't stimulate the potential of craftsmen.
It is also because of this that Cao Cao is probably the person in the world who understands the hidden power of craftsmen best, and when he heard what Yuan Shao said, he nodded with a wry smile, but he didn't speak, because he found that the impact of this battle was not just as simple as morale.
Sun Ce played with a short sword, his eyes swept to the people in the tent from time to time, and he leaned on the back of the chair a little boredly, he was only a vassal of Yuan Shu now, and few people would listen to what he said here, so he simply didn't participate in the discussion.
Three days have passed since that decisive battle, but the impact of that battle has not been resolved.
The strange bed crossbow that suddenly appeared in the Tiger Prison Pass could shoot quickly and continuously, and it could also rotate, which was a bit unacceptable to the princes who were accustomed to today's war equipment mode.
In the previous mode of war, although weapons and armor are important, the most important thing is people, and the advantage of numbers can make up for the lack of weapons, but this time, the court used facts to teach the world a lesson, when the subtlety of weapons exceeds an era, the advantage of numbers will become a joke.
In fact, such a thing has not happened in history, the pre-Qin swept the six countries, unified China, in addition to the right time, place and people, the pre-Qin attached importance to industry, so that the weapons of the pre-Qin far surpassed the other six countries, many exquisite weapons, even if they are four hundred years later, will never be outdated.
And Liu Xie, obviously emulating the pre-Qin, and doing it more thoroughly, the pre-Qin was more about using industry in the military, while Liu Xie was an all-round use, revitalizing agriculture, revitalizing commerce, strengthening national strength, and finally reflecting on the military, the emergence of Tiangang's broken array crossbow has obviously begun to cross an era, breaking the cage of Shinong industry and commerce that was gradually distinguished from the level, the status of the four major professions, after this war, not only Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will have to be repositioned in the world.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten The impact of this battle is obviously not only limited to victory or defeat, but more importantly, the change in the concept of the princes, at least the importance of craftsmen, after this battle, will be gradually raised, which is also the result that Liu Xie wants to see, even if he is the emperor, alone, in a short period of time, what can be affected is only these territories under the rule of the imperial court, what he wants to change is the concept of the people of the world.
Violence cannot solve all problems, but many problems must be solved by violence, and the same is true of the human mind.
If Liu Xie asked people to write a book and write a biography to tell scholars how important the industry was, there would be a few people who would believe and a few who would be willing to do it Sometimes reasoning is really not as direct and effective as fists, just like now, although Liu Xie did not tell the princes any reason, but after this war, the princes themselves began to think about the importance of industry.
No one wants to be pressed and beaten, the learning of the saints has a great truth, and it is not as serious as the damage to the country caused by weakness, just like now, the princes face the tiger prison, and they have no confidence to charge again, and the twenty bed crossbows are like a lingering nightmare.
Even if they knew that there were not many soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, but in the face of those twenty crossbow machines, I am afraid that before they reached the city, the soldiers should have fled.
"What's the use of saying this" Yuan Shu knocked on the table dissatisfied, and looked at everyone: "What should I do now, how can I not make it difficult for my 300,000 army to be consumed here."
Chen Deng took a deep breath, bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "The Tiger Prison is no longer attackable, since the original Gong's strategy can't work, we might as well give full play to the advantage of our troops." ” "How to play," Yuan Shu frowned.
"Outside the Tiger Pass, the area is narrow, it is not suitable for the army to attack, and now there is the crossbow to help, in the Tiger Pass, such as the tiger with wings, I will not be weak to give up the Tiger Pass, with Hanoi, Xuanmen, Xuanyuan, Yique, Luhun five places as the attack point, our army has enough troops, divide the troops to attack, but the imperial court can not have enough troops to resist, these five places, as long as any one is breached, can directly hit Luoyang" Chen Deng pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "In the next Bucai, I am willing to lead the Xuzhou soldiers to attack the Revolving Gate Pass" "That's a good method."
Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, then nodded, he had already proposed this method before, but it was only because of the news that Liu Xie appeared in the Tiger Prison Pass at that time that everyone was greedy, and they wanted to do it once and for all, so they would storm the Tiger Prison at any cost.
Now it seems that the appearance of the Son of Heaven in the Tiger Prison is a conspiracy, one is to drag them here, use the Tiger Prison to strengthen the city, and consume their troops, and the other is to induce the Luoyang family to make a move, giving Liu Xie a chance to catch them all, and now it seems that Liu Xie has succeeded.
"Since this is the case, then the leader of this alliance will lead the army to attack Xuanyuan Pass" Yuan Shu thought about it, he was not completely stupid yet, Yique Pass is an important place connecting Nanyang and Luoyang, once it is attacked, I am afraid that Nanyang Zhao Yun will not be able to sit still.
"You will stay here and contain the Tiger Prison Pass and the Ao Cang soldiers and horses."
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, this is a fair and honest paddling, but although he is not ready to continue to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass and Ao Cang to really be unrestrained, Cao Cao is willing to sit here, it is better.
"Hanoi will be attacked by me."
Yuan Shao said in a deep voice, his Yuan family's territory is in Jizhou, close to Hanoi, and now Liu Xie is stationed in Hanoi with heavy troops, obviously worried that the princes will take this as a breakthrough, but the situation in the river is not easy to take, even if you take Hanoi, if you want to attack Luoyang, you need to break through Mengjin, to cross the Yellow River, you need a navy, but the northern princes, the importance of the navy is not high, to the court has already been prepared, to break through Mengjin, you can only hope that after the winter comes, the river will freeze, take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River.
After the distribution was completed, the princes began to pull out their camps one after another, and in the Xingyang area, only Cao Cao's men and horses were left to garrison.
Such a large-scale operation naturally can't be concealed from Tiger Prison and Ao Cang.
"Quickly send this matter back to the imperial court, the princes were frustrated in the Tiger Prison Pass this time, I am afraid that they want to divide their troops to attack" After Jia Xu got the information, he quickly ordered someone to send the information back to Luoyang, and at the same time recruited Gao Shundao: "Now the person stationed in Xingyang is Cao Cao, I am worried that General Guan is eager for revenge and takes the initiative to send troops, and you send someone to inform Guan Yu that without an order from the imperial court, you must not send troops without authorization" Guan Yu's character Jia Xu is somewhat understood, he is very worried that Guan Yu will not be able to suppress at this moment, go to Cao Cao's trouble, Liu Bei's 30,000 troops have been defeated by Cao Cao, and now the Ao Cang garrison is only 12,000, how is Cao Cao's opponent Once Guan Yu makes a move, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass naturally cannot sit idly by, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the entire battle situation will change because of this, and it will affect the whole body "Huh" Gao Shun heard this, nodded in agreement, and left quickly.
A night battle in Luoyang is not the end, but just the beginning.
Liu Bei took Zhang Yang, in these three days, Luoyang City, all the families involved in the rebellion that night, completely bloodbathed, for a while, Luoyang City was noisy, this is Liu Xie's first large-scale murder since he ascended the throne, and it also let the world see Liu Xie's cold-blooded side.
Not to mention the more than 5,000 people who rebelled and were killed that night, in the past three days alone, the family that was washed by Liu Bei's blood has added up to more than 2,000, and the entire Luoyang seems to be filled with a bloody atmosphere.
For public opinion, Liu Xie has always been very tight, and in the past three days, the major restaurants and teahouses are full of storytellers, tirelessly explaining the cause of this incident to the people.
The family has been provoking the imperial power several times, His Majesty has endured and endured it again and again in order to take into account the overall situation, how do you know that these families do not know how to miss the emperor's grace, but they have intensified, this time, they are even more openly raising troops, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of the Son of Heaven to face the princes, take the opportunity to make trouble, seize Luoyang, subvert the Han Dynasty, and finally angered Tianyan, so that Liu Xie sacrificed the butcher's knife and killed on a large scale.
Of course, the story has been beautified to a certain extent, but in general, it is all justified and evidence-based, not blindly made up, and it is precisely under Liu Xie's rapid public opinion offensive that the people's fear quickly fades, and at the same time, some people inevitably take this opportunity to make waves, not only Luoyang, but also the storytellers in the entire Guanzhong area have received orders to start spreading these things among the people before the news is transmitted back to Guanzhong. t1706231537:
