Chapter 3397
When the war in Youzhou happened, Jizhou couldn't help but startle.
The last time the Cavalry Army marched into Youzhou, he was already scared to Jizhou. Although the Cavalry Army did not attack Jizhou last time, who can guarantee that this time it would not penetrate Youzhou and plunder Jizhou?
Originally, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Guanzhong, and these generals who were left behind were relieved. After all, being in a chaotic world, one day of freedom would be a day of freedom. No matter how tragic the front line was, it was still a thousand miles away. But no one expected that Wei Yan would make a fuss in Jizhou!
Even though Wei Yan's army was "defeated" or "disappeared", the fear left to the people of Jizhou was quite large!
These defenders thought it was safe in Jizhou and could have a few days of peace. If Cao Cao won, he would just flatter him and give him some rewards. However, he did not expect that the news that came later became more and more wrong, and Cao Cao seemed to have a bad situation!
This is simply a scattered eagle...
Although they also held large oars and were wearing armor, they always felt like they were standing naked in the wilderness.
The enemy is lurking everywhere and will pounce on you at any time.
First, Cao Cao's Northern Army failed, and then rumored that Xiahou Dun was captured. The children of the Cao Xiahou clan in Jizhou, especially those Xiahou clans, all looked ugly as if their parents had died.
An unknown Wei Yan could even attack Jizhou. Could it be that the cavalry could not come?
Although these defenders of different surnames felt a little unspeakable pleasure when they saw the mournful faces of the Cao Xiahou family, they couldn't help but feel a little more worried and uneasy. If the cavalry really won, what would they do? Could it be that they really have to change the party and let the martial artists from northern Guanzhong ride on their heads?
These news has already made these Jizhou defenders panic, but they did not expect that the land of Youyan will change again!
Zhao Yun, the great captain of the Northern Territory of the Cavalry, rushed his army to point directly at Youyan!
The vanguard general turned out to be Zhang He!
this……
traitor!
Thief rebel!
For a moment, those who scolded Zhang He in Jizhou were irritated by the hustle and bustle.
Some people even saw that Zhang's people were criticizing the Sang and scolding the locust to express their integrity and indignation towards rebellion. But interestingly, with the fall of Gubeikou and related news further transmitted to Jizhou, something very strange happened.
Those who were originally scolding Zhang He suddenly shut up overnight, and they also stopped scolding Lei Chong and some other guards...
Even if Cao Chun was not able to bear it, everyone thought he could hold on to Gubeikou for a year or two!
This, how can this be so fat?!
What is Gubeikou?
It is the pass for Cao's key business and defense!
Just being conquered?
After so many years of preparations, and knowing that the smoke of gunpowder is about to be imposed, the surrendered army was led by a few people, and it was easy to break through it?
Are you sure that Mahou was not forcibly surrendering Cao Chun to the wisdom?
You should know that the Cao army stationed in Youzhou is one of the few elite corpses in Shandong!
The last time Cao Chun took the initiative to leave Youyan. He couldn't defeat the Cavalry Army in the field. Although he lost, it was understandable. After all, it was indeed a bit difficult to defeat the Cavalry in the field, but now it's defense!
Defensive!
The last time it was a defeated army and was taken advantage of by the enemy. What about this time?
We have rebuilt the pass, mobilized money and food, established a deep defense system, established a Yanshan Observation Guard Card, etc., and made sufficient preparations for everything, but that's the result?
What is Cao Chun doing? What are he doing?!
The following news is becoming increasingly difficult for people in Jizhou to understand.
Originally, Youyan’s defense systems seemed to be as paper as they were, collapsed one after another!
How much time and how much manpower and material resources have been spent to build a defensive structure, just like this...
No more?!
The cavalry's soldiers had already arrived directly under Yuyang City.
The defenders of Jizhou were also under martial law, and the supplies sent from the rear were no longer allowed to go to Yijing. After all, no one knew whether these things would become the capture and supplies of the cavalry!
The situation suddenly became like this, and the whole Jizhou was nervous.
Why did Youyan suddenly become so bad?
Is Cao Chun so useless?
If the army alone is trapped in Yuyang City, even if the food, grass, equipment and materials in Yuyang City are well prepared and the granaries are abundant, it is impossible for them to be besieged all the time!
Besides, even if we defend Yuyang, what would we do if the cavalry army surrounded and did not attack like Hu people, plundered the place, especially when it invaded Jizhou?
Could it be that these cavalry troops have reached such a sharp level that the Cao army could not resist at all? Since the Cavalry marched into Youyan, there have been teams of people passing news and discussing countermeasures to each other. However, in this process, the more they spread, the more outrageous it became, the more weird it became. Some people even began to say that the Cavalry Army summoned some semen soldiers from outside the territory, each of which was like zombies, with great strength and no idea of ​​life and death, so it is so cruel and sharp now...
After much discussion, no one has any constitution, he can only guard the important intersections of Jizhou with double fear. As for how these defenders were planning in their minds, no one knew.
A team of riders sent out to make an emergency. Even if the young master in Yecheng had no strategy, the big men in Yuzhou and Jizhou should always have some explanations?
Could it be that he was driven straight into the cavalry?
In such a panic atmosphere, the angel came!
...
...
There is more than one angel.
The angel along the way is Liu Ye.
It was Liu Xie's sneaky squat...
Liu Ye was responsible for walking north, that is, going to the front line of Jizhou and Youzhou to convey the emperor's edict.
Two lines go hand in hand.
When an angel travels on behalf of the emperor, no matter what, he always needs to have some outfits.
Of course, there are scepters and flags that cannot be missed.
The team of people, well, there were not many people in the team, guarding a canopy car and slowly came from a distance.
Chen Qun welcomed each other outside Yecheng.
Wei Yan went to Yecheng for one day, and Cao Pi could only be furious incompetent.
Before a naughty child realizes that he is the most powerful person in the world, he often feels that he is the most powerful person in the world. Only after breaking the defense can he truly realize the malice in the world.
In later generations, those who broke the defense often did not break the defense, and those who broke the defense were like Cao Pi, who was now, said nothing...
After being ridden on Wei Yan's head, he urinated for a while, and then the soldiers in the city were unable to leave Wei Yan behind, which was almost imprinted on Cao Pi's face!
Even if he is the prince, what?
How many people would call him "the prince" in person and mock him for being a "persimmon" behind his back?
And it's that kind of very soft persimmon...
Cao Pi recalled Chen Qun, no longer had his majesty of making mistakes and no longer interfered in political affairs. Yecheng, instead, recovered from Chen Qun's adjustment, and even the entire Jizhou quickly settled down. The traces of blood from the fire and smoke of war were washed away from the stone slabs on the streets, but the marks left in people's hearts were not so easy to wash.
"I've seen the angel." Chen Qun stepped forward and bowed to him.
Then Chen Qun asked the emperor about his health according to etiquette. Liu Ye also answered the emperor's health according to the procedure before getting off the car, "I have met the envoy Chen."
Chen Qun smiled slightly, with a little bitterness in his smile, "Brother Ziyang, is this... I only have the name of a messenger, but no such ability?"
Liu Ye waved his hand, "Don't be like this in the long article. The matter in Yecheng... is complicated. Even if I am here, I may not be as good as a long article, so I have no other intentions."
The two looked at each other, smiled at each other, and entered Yecheng together.
The children of the gentry who were watching couldn't help but be celebrating, saying that since the angel has come, the dispute should stop. However, some people expressed doubts, believing that even if the angel has come, it may not be useful.
The current fame of the Emperor of Han is much worse than before.
Moreover, Liu Ye came to pass the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor, and he might not be comfortable in his heart, even if his surname was Liu.
The well-known civil servants and scholars in Yuzhou naturally couldn't help doing this, so they could only send him to resist the thunder. So when Liu Ye saw Chen Qun, he was just a sarcastic sentence, which was already considered an excellent cultivation.
Of course, Chen Qun knew the problem, and did not say anything. He took Liu Ye into the city and went directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu Ye didn't look squinting on the surface, but in fact, he could see all the situation in Jizhou along the way.
The quality of soldiers in Jizhou is uneven.
Even in Yecheng, only the soldiers near the Prime Minister's Mansion can be called elites, but in other places, it is hard to describe it, and even the equipment is poor. Especially the war horses, which are so lacking that they can almost be described as "poor".
According to regulations, war horses will be retired in ten years, but in this situation, those war horses have to extend their retirement age to make up for the shortage of numbers.
But can this be considered a solution to the problem?
It's just to stir up the soup and stop the boiling.
Over the years, it is wrong to say that there is no economic development in Jizhou and Yuzhou. Although there is war, the money, grain and taxes may not be a little less. At least compared to the Dong Zhuo's chaotic period, the fiscal revenue was much higher, but he just couldn't afford it. There was also a shortage of money here and there was a shortage, so where did the money go?
No one understands it.
Even if you understand, you pretend not to understand.
Does Liu Ye understand?
He also understands it.
It can even be said that basically people with a little political status in Shandong understand.
But he still couldn't say it, and he had to pretend not to understand.
Cutting off money is like killing a parent.
With so much money, how many people’s parents are!
If this is revealed, how many people will bear hatred?
Liu Ye can't stand it naturally.
Liu Ye looked at Cao Pi, who seemed a little depressed after obviously suffering some mental blow. He felt that this naughty child could not bear it, so naturally he could not say anything. He just followed the etiquette and process and went up to pay a visit, then was silent, waiting for Cao Pi to ask.
Anyone with some naughty child attributes will have some selfish characteristics, and Cao Pi is no exception. After meeting Liu Ye, he didn't know if he was concerned about the situation of the war too deeply, or if he felt that Liu Ye and others were just like slaves. He didn't mention Liu Ye's hard work along the way, and asked, "Is it necessary to be like this now?"
What is the situation now? Cao Pi himself has no idea?
This is obviously impossible, so the only explanation is that Cao Pi is unwilling to admit his failure, especially the failure of his prince. Once Cao Cao really fails and falls to the point where he can only return to the truce after accepting the mediation of the emperor, then as Cao Cao's heir, the prince of the Han Prime Minister, Marquis Cao, what face can he have?
That's right, what Cao Pi is most concerned about now is still his own face.
In ancient times, modern people were all human beings.
However, ancient people might have been relatively precocious due to different environments, and the rebellious period would be shorter.
Cao Pi is not stupid, nor is he stupid. He is just a common problem that occurs at this age. He wants to show himself and make himself look like an adult, but in fact his thinking and experience cannot keep up, this kind of separation occurs.
If Cao Pi was not the prince, then some people would severely criticize and correct him, so that Cao Pi would return to normal track. However, Cao Pi's identity as the prince made only Mrs. Bian criticize him, and others were flattering. This made Cao Pi, who was still in the development stage, mistakenly think that it was just that Mrs. Bian had too high requirements, and he himself was still very awesome...
That's why Cao Pi felt a strong sense of shame and anger when he met Wei Yan and rode his face in public.
Liu Ye glanced at Cao Pi and said calmly: "I was originally from Qinghe. I suddenly received the order of the emperor and did not dare to slack off at all. I went here day and night. As for why there was such an order in the court... I really don't know."
Liu Ye was not completely unaware of the origin of the edict, but he had no need and was in the mood to explain to Cao Pi.
Not everyone is Cao Pi's parents, and not everyone has to revolve around Cao Pi.
What's more, this kind of thing itself is very troublesome to explain.
But Cao Pi refused to rely on it. He has been very confused and angry these days. The people around him were either like Mrs. Bian, who asked him to summarize and think about it carefully, or Chen Qun, who was respectful on the surface, actually had a lot of fun. Now he finally saw someone from Jizhou coming. How could Cao Pi easily let Liu Ye fool him like this?
"Pi has lived in this city for a long time and does not know it outside. If he is here today, he will be like nectar for Pi!" Cao Pi left the seat and bowed deeply, "I am confused now, I can't solve it, I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't even sleep, I hope the angel will give me advice in view of my father's face!"
I have to say that when Cao Pi followed Cao Cao's behavior as a polite and a polite person, he still looked quite like the same thing.
Liu Ye hurriedly avoided the seat and did not dare to accept Cao Pi's full courtesy.
Liu Ye took the time to glance at Chen Qun.
Chen Qun looked at his eyes and his nose and his heart, and he remained motionless.
Of course, Liu Ye could not say nothing when Cao Pi was doing this, but what he said was indeed a very embarrassing thing.
After a moment of silence, Liu Ye looked at the guard beside him.
As the elite in the Prime Minister's Mansion, they are naturally dressed in neatly, with fine armor and shiny shields.
"Can you borrow a sluice?"
Liu Ye pointed to the big shield in the guard's hand and said.
Cao Pi was not sure about it, but he still nodded.
When the guard saw Cao Pi agreeing, he didn't say much.
After all, it is not borrowing a knife, but borrowing a shield. Borrowing a knife may even threaten Cao Pi's life. And even if Liu Ye picks up a big shield and wants to kill Cao Pi, would he not talk about it if he has such great strength? At least this action is obvious enough, so he can have plenty of time to avoid it, right?
Not a chessboard.
The shield was placed in front of Liu Ye.
Liu Ye didn't go to get it, but just pointed at it, "If I remember it, this oar style was made in the third year of Yan Xi of the Han Dynasty. After the stamp was set, it has been used to this day..."
The earliest shield was made of leather, and it was made of simple wooden frames to support thick fur. When there was no need to fight, it could be removed and rolled up and taken away...
Later, because of the fierce war and the cruel battle, the shield supported by this simple wooden frame could not bear the need to resist beating, so wooden shields and vine shields were produced.
This shield made of shields made of fur, combined with vine, wood, and paint and glue is the second stage of development of shields. This stage can be said to have run through most of the history of human civilization or war history. Shields made of this material have been used from around the thirteenth century BC to the braids.
The metal shield overlaps with the wooden vine shield. Early shields were made of bronze. When the steel smelting level was improved, there were more shields made of steel...
These are all basic common sense. When Liu Ye said this, Cao Pi naturally understood it. However, Cao Pi still couldn't understand this and the victory of the Cavalry Army and why the imperial edict was required to mediate the battle between the two sides. Is there any connection between this and the shield?
Seeing that Cao Pi was still confused, Liu Ye couldn't help but sigh slightly, "As far as I know, this big oar... has developed three types, more than twenty models... Infants, cavalry, and warships, each with different types. In terms of infantry, there are those who are good at running around the mountain, holding small round shields and fine steel, with a diameter of one and a half feet. Some are good at fighting on the battlefield, holding large round shields and fine steel, each with a diameter of three and two inches... In addition, the shields and oars used by cavalry are also different..."
"The system of Shandong is to be found in one place. Although there are different people, the oars are made. The area in Guanzhong is used to scatter them. Although there are only one army, the oars are different."
"Now, Shandong seeks one but cannot get one. Guanzhong has a dispersed shape but the spirit does not disperse, so there are temporary lengths and shortcomings, and it is difficult to judge the outcome." Liu Ye tried to explain it as easy as possible and tactful as possible, which is really not easy. "Now there is an edict, so it is to disperse for one purpose."
Cao Pi's eyes lit up, "In this way, is this... a strategy?"
Liu Ye smiled but refused to answer.
"What strategy is used?" Cao Pi asked without thinking.
