Chapter 495
Chapter 495
Since the rise of Liu Jun, new things have constantly emerged, and Liu Jun's fresh actions have also emerged one after another. At first, many people around the world were surprised, but as time went by, people gradually got used to it, and at most they just talked about it.
For example, last winter's management of rivers, the accumulation of grain, and now the ongoing drought fighting.
They felt that the cost of diverting water to irrigate their crops was far greater than the harvest in the fields, and that it was not worth it. Of course, the flowing oil of the Han king Liu Junfu, some people have money, some are grain, and they can squander it as much as they like.
However, in recent days, Liu Jun's actions have made many wise people in Eastern Wu and Cao Wei feel incredible, and they don't know how to evaluate it.
Today, the Central Plains is in a drought, and the water of the Yellow, Weishui, and Jing rivers is almost dry, but Liu Jun asked the Luoyang Corps and the Yuzhou Corps to build river embankments, strengthen dams, build new ferries, and collect ships.
What is this for? This is when it rains, and it is only done when it rains continuously! Moreover, these are all done by officials and the common people, when will the army be allowed to do it?
During this period, the supply of food and grass for any soldier and horse was divided into wartime and non-wartime, and the supply of food in wartime was twice that of peacetime. And isn't it a fool to let the soldiers and horses build dikes and do the work done by the people, but consume a lot of food? Even if you have enough food and grass, there is no point in doing these things! The sun in the sky, hot and hot, but you are protecting from rain, is really ridiculous.
Could it be that it's going to rain? There is no sign of rain!
What made them even more puzzled was that those officials in Luoyang also followed suit. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan are all rare strategists and handsome talents in the world! In the battle of Xiping City, he defeated the 100,000 iron horsemen of Xianbei and Western Qiang, but now he went to build the dam. Ma Liang was the head of the civil servants of the Han royal palace, and he also did these meaningless things.
In a word, the officials under the King of Han are either crazy or stupid!
After the initial surprise, whether it was Jiangdong or Jizhou, those princes and officials began to laugh, mocking Luoyang, mocking Yuzhou, mocking the Han king Liu Jun, and also laughing at the operatives under Liu Jun.
Laughing at them didn't think enough, so they began writing poetry.
The poems of Cao Cao, Cao Zhi, and Cao Pi's father and son are famous all over the world, and although their current name is not as high as that of Liu Jungao the King of Han, they have also made many people in the north rush to follow suit. Chen Lin, Liu Zhen, Ying Xuan, Xu Gan and other scribes were all around the Sancao father and son. This time, they played their own strengths, some sonorous, impassioned, some witty, and intriguing, and the content was mostly disparaging the Han king Liu Jun.
And the talents in the south, headed by Zhang Wen, are no less impressive, and they find another way, laughing and scolding.
The students of Luoyang Academy did not compare articles with the scribes of Jiangdong and Jizhou this time, or did not pay attention to them at all, they were busy with their own affairs. Let the opponent's fist hit the cotton, without strength.
Yecheng, Jia Xu was in the study of the mansion, and Sima Yi came to visit.
Since Jia Xu joined Cao Cao's command, he had almost no contact with the heavy ministers around Cao Cao, on the one hand, because Jia Xu was from a cold family and was originally a clear stream, but on the other hand, this was also his way of protecting his life.
Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu that year, but the losses were too great, and he defeated the general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang, and Zhang Xiu later surrendered to Liu Xiu, and when he moved the capital to Yecheng, Zhang Xiu's family members were also rescued.
Even if Cao Cao trusts him and will not cure him, after Cao Cao, can the children of the Cao family not hold a grudge against him? If you are not careful, you may lead to the scourge of killing.
Sima Yi came to Jia Xu's mansion, and he was a rare guest. But Jia Xu's attitude was neither lukewarm nor cold, and his face was ancient.
"Zhongda is visiting today, I don't know what happened?"
"Military master, the Han king Liu Jun managed the Yellow River during the drought, his practice is confusing, I may have deep meaning, so I want to discuss it with the military master."
"King Han does things, plans ahead, thinks carefully, and has a far-reaching vision. Those who write articles to ridicule will end up shooting themselves in the foot. "Any move of Liu Jun, Jia Xu will not jump to conclusions, because he can't forget the battle of Guandu that year, Liu Jun was in the White Emperor City, but in Guandubu's overall situation, he suffered a crushing defeat, lost his troops and generals, and even the lord Cao Cao almost encountered an accident. How dare such a person despise it?
"yes!" Sima Yi nodded, "Last winter, King Han built canals and stockpiled grain, and this year there was a big drought. Now build embankments and build new ferry ports, and it may not be long before there will be heavy rains and floods! The idea of destiny is not created out of nothing. This person is too profound, and we can fight against him, we cannot only rely on the strength of soldiers, the strength of soldiers, and the courage of generals, but must break through from within and mess with their minds in order to win!
"What method did Zhongda come up with?"
"Use discord to create suspicion between their lords and subjects, and then we will use it!"
"Dissociation?" Jia Xu thought for a while, and shook his head again, "King Han trusts the generals under his command, who are we separating from?" Gan Ning, Cheng Gongying, Wei Yan, Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Li Yan? This will not work out!
"The commanders and military masters of these corps are all henchmen of King Han, and he will naturally believe in their loyalty!"
"Then who does Zhongda want to separate from?"
"Zhang Xiu!"
"Zhang Xiu?" Listening to Sima Yi's words, Jia Xu's face sank.
"I know that the military master and Zhang Xiu used to be on good terms, but at one moment and another, now, he is our enemy!"
"How to separate?" There was a hint of anger in Jia Xu's voice.
"During the battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiu once stopped the lord, but in the end he released the lord, what would happen if the king of Han knew about this?"
"You..." Jia Xu's face became very ugly.
Jia Xu always remembered that Zhang Xiu could not let go of the lord Cao Cao at that time, and it was he who stood in front of Zhang Xiu and blocked Zhang Xiu. Later, Xu Huang led his army to kill them and save them.
But Jia Xu understood that when Xu Huang first arrived, with Zhang Xiu's martial arts, he could kill himself first, and then kill the lord Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu didn't do that because he missed his old love!
Although some people call him a poisoner, there is no omission, but they also know that Zhang Xiu has great kindness to him, how can he take revenge?
"Military master, the lord is a grace to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu chose to surrender. Even if he was in a desperate situation at that time, couldn't he die in battle and be loyal to the Lord? Sima Yi looked very excited, "Also, when Zhang Xiu returned to the King of Han, did he think about you?" If the Lord is angry, won't he offend you? Zhang Xiu is a complete villain! "
