Chapter 453 Greed
"Drive the people to attack the city?"
Yang Xuan was startled.
The messenger who reported the victory said: "Exactly. It is said that General Shi ordered his subordinates to persecute the people with knives and guns, and killed hundreds of people. He also promised to release them all after breaking the city..."
"But you have to die if you attack the city!" Wu Da felt that this was a bit shocking.
Han Ji said calmly: "Maybe you can survive the siege, but if you don't go, you will die immediately."
"For that illusory job, as a person, he will subconsciously go to attack the city." Yang Xuan felt that he underestimated Shi Zhongtang.
"Those Southern Zhou people won't do anything." The messenger obviously didn't agree with such methods.
Han Ji whispered: "Mr. Lang, driving the people to attack the city is such a cruel method that most people can't think of. Shi Zhongtang should not be underestimated."
"I know." Yang Xuan tried his best to recall the Shi Zhongtang he met back then. At that time, Shi Zhongtang was walking around Chang'an City looking for his thigh with a smile on his face. He couldn't be more polite.
"This man! It's changing too fast."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Who says it's not! Think about this old man. At the beginning, he devoted himself to helping that person. At that time, my greatest wish was that this person obeyed my advice...
But who would have thought that the old man actually arrived in the northern border, and it's time and fate! "
"It's hard to obey..." Yang Xuan felt that Han Ji's wish was too empty.
Except for those who are extremely weak and have no independent opinions, no one will listen to what anyone says.
What's more, obeying what one says is more like a puppet. As time goes by, either the think tank will occupy the magpie's nest, or the proprietor can't bear it anymore and chops off the think tank.
Han Ji has such thoughts, could it be that he is a guy with a strong desire for power?
Yang Xuan thought about it, if this is the case, then he has to readjust the internal power structure.
He suddenly had a kind of enlightenment.
The so-called superiors don't need to do everything themselves, and this is what they are talking about.
The superior holds a lot of talents in their hands, who is suitable for what kind of work, and what kind of temperament is suitable for what kind of work.This is inappropriate, even great talents have to step aside.That mediocre, but extremely loyal person, even if he is less capable, he has to be promoted.
This is what superiors should do.
Han Ji coughed dryly, "That man is extremely confident."
"Really?" People who are extremely confident are usually those who are proud of themselves.
Of course, there are exceptions: honey juice self-confidence.
"He planned several times. Fortunately, the old man found out later, and it was not too late to make up for it. Otherwise, the old man would have followed him into the prison."
How can this kind of mentality look like disgust?
With a lord like you, I really don't want to serve you.Either you do what I say, or I do what I am supposed to do.
"Are you... unwilling?"
Han Ji was startled, and then laughed, "Yes. Now that I think about it, the old man was a little reluctant at the beginning. On the one hand, the favor was returned, and on the other hand, he was an ambitious but mediocre proprietor. At that time, the old man wished he could be He scolded and drove them out the door."
Talent and protagonist are basically two-way choices.
"If the way doesn't work, then float in the sea on a boat."
Han Ji's eyes lit up, "Lang Jun's words seem to be tailor-made for this old man."
This guy's skin is not thin!
"Then what do you think of Northern Xinjiang?" the old thief asked.
Han Ji smiled slightly, "The three-way army marched south, and Mr. Lang was a guest army, but he suddenly emerged. However, being too outstanding is sometimes not a good thing. I'm afraid those people will use some tricks."
He didn't answer directly, but expressed his attitude through these words.
——Lang Jun, I insist on it!
Wang Lao Er was puzzled and asked Tu Chang, "Tu Gong, what does this mean?"
Tu Chang said: "Scholars turn around and flatter others."
"Oh!" Wang Lao Er sighed endlessly, "Then I also kissed Lang Jun's ass, but what Lang Jun said was too straightforward."
"It's better to be straightforward." Tu Chang didn't like those literati who pretended to be close.
A delicate atmosphere arises spontaneously.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Han Ji's outstanding resourcefulness made the life of the small group feel a sense of crisis.
Yang Xuan felt it, but ignored it.
In many cases, there cannot be a pool of stagnant water inside, and there must be an impact from an external force.
Han Ji, like a ferocious fish, suddenly broke the tranquility of the pool.
……
In Yezhou City, Zhang Huan looked at the granary that was mostly burned down, and said coldly: "The one who executes this will hang here."
"Yes."
No one begged for mercy for those people, saying that it was ominous to kill prisoners.
"Actually, that's a ruthless person."
Zhang Chumao said: "He made people burn food and grass, but he didn't give our army a chance to supply. But our army can't get supplies, what about the people in the city?"
"In the eyes of the guard, if he can die in battle and die for the country, it is not a problem for the people to starve to death for the country."
Zhang Huan scolded: "This is the way of the world!"
Zhang Chumao said: "When necessary, our army can buy the food stored in the hands of the people."
This person is cruel enough!
The so-called buying is nothing more than snatching.
Zhang Huan shook his head, "This move will make the Southern Zhou people share a common hatred."
At noon on the second day, Shi Zhongtang came.
In the temporary residence of Jiedushi, civil and military personnel gathered together.
"I have seen my husband!"
Shi Zhongtang saluted.
Everyone looked at him with complicated eyes.
In terms of cruelty, being besieged in troubled times and using the flesh and blood of the people as military rations is even more cruel.
But the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the occasional conflicts are only partial. Everyone will not kill bloody people, but fight within the rules.
Shi Zhongtang came to drive the people to attack the city, and many people immediately thought of those rumors.
two-legged sheep.
Human rations.
"Tell me." Zhang Huan nodded.
Shi Zhongtang said: "The defenders of Xinzhou are tenacious, and the generals cursed His Majesty even more. When the officials got angry for a while, they sent people to drive out the people and attack the city."
It's that simple.
You want to say that I am cruel, but there is a reason for it!
The guard humiliated His Majesty, can you bear it?
This man is leak-proof.
It's a talent!
Zhang Huan said, "How much food can be stored in Xinzhou?"
"There are some." Shi Zhongtang took out the brochure, "Except for taking some money to reward his subordinates, here are the rest."
Someone went over to pick up the brochure and handed it to Zhou Zun.
Zhou Zun looked at it, raised his head, and shook his head lightly at Zhang Huan who was paying attention to him, not expressing much.
Zhang Huan was a little disappointed, but as a general, even if there was only one meal left in the army, he still couldn't show his traces.
He said with a smile: "Yunshan Slave's battle with snake head and tiger tail makes the old man feel like he's going up and down in his heart!"
The crowd laughed.
But the way he looked at Shi Zhongtang was different.
Someone whispered: "It's just enough ruthlessness."
The officials around whispered: "Being ruthless is also a skill. Many people don't have the skill."
The Shangguan ordered you to break through the city in three days, the only way you can think of is to drive out your subordinates to attack the city.But Shi Zhongtang thought of driving the people to attack the city.
In many cases, the difference between people lies in their thinking.
Once you open your mind, your life will be completely different.
"Slave Yunshan made great achievements in this battle, the old man has already been remembered."
Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the duty of a general.
Shi Zhongtang saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."
He returned to work with his head held high. In the eyes of those civil officials, there was mostly envy and occasionally jealousy.
The original Shi Zhongtang was just a stinky piece of shit, maintaining his status by working hard for Zhang Huan.But who would have thought that a trip to Chang'an would make him befriend the brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine, and thus start a journey of smooth progress.
After the Southern Expedition, the brothers and sisters of the imperial concubine would give him another hand.
Gee!
This southern border is getting more and more interesting.
"Master, Yang Shijun, the Left Route Army, is asking to see you."
"Oh! He's here." Zhang Huan said.
As soon as Yang Xuan entered the lobby, he felt something strange.
jealous.
"The Left Route Army fought bravely and took the lead in defeating Huangzhou... More importantly, they defeated Lei Qi, one of the so-called three famous generals of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which effectively deterred the arrogance of the Zhou army!"
Zhang Huan gave a very high evaluation.
"My lord is absurd."
Yang Xuan knew that he had to bow his head and be a man at this moment.
"It's not ridiculous."
But Zhang Huan once again praised, "Then Lei Qi is the son of the general, and he is an experienced soldier. If you can defeat Huangzhou in one fell swoop in this battle, the Southern Zhou monarchs and ministers who want to come to Bianjing will also be terrified."
This praise is too much.
Yang Xuan glanced at everyone, and found that Shi Zhongtang responded with a smile.
Although the method of breaking the city is criticized, Shi Zhongtang can be regarded as a great contribution.
He came first, and Zhang Huan had already praised him a lot.
In this way, he praised me so ecstatically, because he wanted to check and balance me and Shi Zhongtang.
After realizing this point, Yang Xuan's attitude changed suddenly.
"The Southern Zhou army is tenacious."
The surroundings were quiet.
At the beginning, everyone swears that Nanzhou is just a broken house, and everyone can kick it down with one foot.
But Yang Xuan said that the inside of this dilapidated house is well decorated and should not be underestimated.
At the beginning no one listened, but now that I think about it, Yang Xuan's words were so sober.
And it reflects how frivolous he is.
With one word from Yang Xuan, everyone was silent, and then he returned to his place and bowed his hands to the old man.
Zhou Zun nodded slightly, thinking that Zhang Huan's praise of his son-in-law was not pure.The son-in-law's remarks were also polite.
Zhang Huan coughed dryly: "Once Yezhou, Huangzhou, and Xinzhou are broken, it will be Yongzhou in front of it. After Yongzhou, Bianjing will be. This battle is a decisive battle."
In the battle of punishment, it is naturally impossible to attack Bianjing, otherwise, if the news reaches Beiliao, He Lianfeng will go crazy, scolding Li Mi for lying, and at the same time mobilize an army to attack.
However, this is not a bad thing for Beiliao.
Yang Xuan suddenly thought of this point: the internal conflicts in Beiliao are no less than those in Datang. He Lianfeng has great ambitions, but is held back by domestic opponents.
If the Tang Dynasty attacks Bianjing, or even the news of breaking Bianjing spreads to Beiliao...
He Lianfeng might be ecstatic.
Dayi is here!
Datang betrayed his promise and killed Nan Zhou, an ally of Daliao.
I want to raise an army and go south.
who agrees!
Who opposes?
With righteousness in hand, Lin Ya and the others could only bow their heads.
In this way, He Lianfeng could use the attack on Datang to reintegrate the internal power structure of Beiliao.
Damn!
Maybe He Lianfeng really hopes that Datang will attack Bianjing.
Yang Xuan's mind twitched, feeling that he still underestimated the heroes of the world.
"According to secret intelligence reports, the front line of Yongzhou, Nanzhou has deployed a large army, the number of which is about 20."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised.
"20 million!"
Zhang Huan nodded, "The difference is not much, but many of them are forbidden soldiers."
"Watchdog!" Someone laughed.
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone started the group mocking mode.
"It is said that the imperial guards of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were almost the same as the guards of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all raised and abolished."
"That's not true. The Imperial Army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty has not moved their nests in Bianjing for many years, let alone fought. Compared with us, they are sheep."
"Don't underestimate the enemy." Zhang Huan interrupted the crowd's jeers in a deep voice, "We have suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy in this battle. Are we going to repeat the same mistakes now?"
Everyone's heart froze.
Zhang Huan said: "Peng Jing and Fang Chong are commanding this battle. What did you expect?"
Someone said: "Master, literati command, isn't that our chance?"
"Peng Jing is decisive, Fang Chong is cunning, whoever said that last time. If so, don't underestimate it."
Several civil servants shook their heads slightly.
Zhang Huan turned his eyes.
This is a roll call!
Great opportunity to shine.
The point is, judging from what Zhang Huan meant, he clearly wanted to pick a striker.
This is a great opportunity for meritorious service!
The officials and generals held their heads high, waiting to be seen by Zhang Huan.
Yang Xuan was thinking about Peng Jing and the two of them.
When he was on a diplomatic mission to Southern Zhou last time, he noticed something was wrong.
The contradictions in the kingdom of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were indeed quite prominent. Just like in the Tang Dynasty, the rich and powerful gentry robbed and plundered, and the people suffered unspeakably.As a result, the flames of war broke out everywhere.
It was only a corner of Yecheng where the rebels were encountered, and God knows what troubles there will be in the Southern Zhou Kingdom.
Therefore, Nian Xu couldn't wait to promote Sun Shi and others, entrust them with important tasks, and let them initiate a new policy.
This is a move under a sense of crisis.
But Peng Jing and others crazily criticized the New Deal, and their stance was very simple. In their view, the foundation of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was not the common people, but the literati, the gentry.
That is the so-called elite.
There are literati and gentry, as long as this group of elites stand on the side of the court, then there is no fear of any trouble.
In this era, imperial power does not go to the countryside, so how is the grassroots managed?
Relying on the squire.
These gentry were either landlords or literati, and they were intimate with local officials, and the two sides jointly controlled the local people.
This situation seems to be very stable, and the gap in local management has been resolved without the need for people from the central government to pay.
But they have forgotten that people are greedy!
Human greed is instinct, and greed after losing control can devour everything within their sight.
After these squires seized the power to manage the place, they quickly degenerated into local toubob.
They colluded with local officials, annexed fields, and oppressed the people... As time went by, the people could not afford to be exploited, but they could not find a way to sue.
This is an unresolvable contradiction.
The emperor needs the help of the squire to manage the place.
And the squire also needs to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
But what about the common people?
Forgotten by the noblest of men.
It wasn't until the flames of war broke out that the emperor suddenly realized that the so-called elites were the biggest cancer!
Only then did Nian Xu remember, mother, he must cut a piece of flesh from these cancerous tumors to ease the conflict with the common people.
But would those people be willing?
I ate all the meat in my mouth, whoever wants me to spit it out, I will fight with who the hell!
Even if this person is the emperor!
Peng Jing, Fang Chong and others are just representatives of these people.
Therefore, this dispute in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was actually a dispute over attitudes towards the common people.
The emperor felt that although the people were cattle and horses, if they wanted to work like cattle and horses, they had to feed them some grass, right?
The group represented by Peng Jing and others gave him a bad mouthful.
Go to Nima!
As long as those untouchables don't die, they have to continue to work for the master!
The emperor believed that although the people were like cattle and horses, they should be appeased.
The elite group represented by Peng Jing and others believes that the common people are just tool people, tool people who earn money and cultivate land for us.As long as the tool man doesn't starve to death, he still wants to appease him. Are you drinking too much?
The biggest difference in understanding between the two is: Greed!
The emperor underestimated the ugliness of human nature.
So, it's a dead end!
Can't solve it!
Yang Xuan shook his head slightly.
"Yang Xuan!"
"what!"
Yang Xuan looked up, a little dazed.
Then I found a group of people looking at me with envious eyes.
Even Shi Zhongtang is like this.
"You are the forward."
(End of this chapter)
"Drive the people to attack the city?"
Yang Xuan was startled.
The messenger who reported the victory said: "Exactly. It is said that General Shi ordered his subordinates to persecute the people with knives and guns, and killed hundreds of people. He also promised to release them all after breaking the city..."

But who would have thought that the old man actually arrived in the northern border, and it's time and fate! "
"It's hard to obey..." Yang Xuan felt that Han Ji's wish was too empty.
Except for those who are extremely weak and have no independent opinions, no one will listen to what anyone says.
What's more, obeying what one says is more like a puppet. As time goes by, either the think tank will occupy the magpie's nest, or the proprietor can't bear it anymore and chops off the think tank.
Han Ji has such thoughts, could it be that he is a guy with a strong desire for power?
Yang Xuan thought about it, if this is the case, then he has to readjust the internal power structure.
He suddenly had a kind of enlightenment.
The so-called superiors don't need to do everything themselves, and this is what they are talking about.

This is what superiors should do.
Han Ji coughed dryly, "That man is extremely confident."
"Really?" People who are extremely confident are usually those who are proud of themselves.
Of course, there are exceptions: honey juice self-confidence.
"He planned several times. Fortunately, the old man found out later, and it was not too late to make up for it. Otherwise, the old man would have followed him into the prison."

Talent and protagonist are basically two-way choices.
"If the way doesn't work, then float in the sea on a boat."
Han Ji's eyes lit up, "Lang Jun's words seem to be tailor-made for this old man."
This guy's skin is not thin!
"Then what do you think of Northern Xinjiang?" the old thief asked.
Han Ji smiled slightly, "The three-way army marched south, and Mr. Lang was a guest army, but he suddenly emerged. However, being too outstanding is sometimes not a good thing. I'm afraid those people will use some tricks."
He didn't answer directly, but expressed his attitude through these words.
——Lang Jun, I insist on it!
Wang Lao Er was puzzled and asked Tu Chang, "Tu Gong, what does this mean?"
Tu Chang said: "Scholars turn around and flatter others."
"Oh!" Wang Lao Er sighed endlessly, "Then I also kissed Lang Jun's ass, but what Lang Jun said was too straightforward."
"It's better to be straightforward." Tu Chang didn't like those literati who pretended to be close.
A delicate atmosphere arises spontaneously.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Han Ji's outstanding resourcefulness made the life of the small group feel a sense of crisis.
Yang Xuan felt it, but ignored it.
In many cases, there cannot be a pool of stagnant water inside, and there must be an impact from an external force.
Han Ji, like a ferocious fish, suddenly broke the tranquility of the pool.

The emperor needs the help of the squire to manage the place.
And the squire also needs to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
But what about the common people?
Forgotten by the noblest of men.
It wasn't until the flames of war broke out that the emperor suddenly realized that the so-called elites were the biggest cancer!
Only then did Nian Xu remember, mother, he must cut a piece of flesh from these cancerous tumors to ease the conflict with the common people.
But would those people be willing?
I ate all the meat in my mouth, whoever wants me to spit it out, I will fight with who the hell!
Even if this person is the emperor!
Peng Jing, Fang Chong and others are just representatives of these people.
Therefore, this dispute in the Southern Zhou Dynasty was actually a dispute over attitudes towards the common people.
The emperor felt that although the people were cattle and horses, if they wanted to work like cattle and horses, they had to feed them some grass, right?
The group represented by Peng Jing and others gave him a bad mouthful.
Go to Nima!
As long as those untouchables don't die, they have to continue to work for the master!
The emperor believed that although the people were like cattle and horses, they should be appeased.
The elite group represented by Peng Jing and others believes that the common people are just tool people, tool people who earn money and cultivate land for us.As long as the tool man doesn't starve to death, he still wants to appease him. Are you drinking too much?
The biggest difference in understanding between the two is: Greed!
The emperor underestimated the ugliness of human nature.
So, it's a dead end!
Can't solve it!
Yang Xuan shook his head slightly.
"Yang Xuan!"
"what!"
Yang Xuan looked up, a little dazed.
Then I found a group of people looking at me with envious eyes.
Even Shi Zhongtang is like this.
"You are the forward."
