Chapter 1043: Wild Goose Edge Stone Path (Part 2)
"Cao Cao led him to kill Kong Rong and seize the Han Dynasty; Zhu Wen led him to annihilate Qingliu and move Tang Zuo; he moved Manyan, and villains used him to disrupt the country and cause disaster to Yanzong society."
Ming: Wang Fuzhi
——I am the dividing line—
A few days later, in Chang'an City, the Political Affairs Hall of the Imperial City, Dane, also received the news in advance from Luoyang City, which had just been rescued and cancelled the blockade, and was sent out in advance.
"Is this a drop?"
When Zhou Huaian received the news, he felt a little unrealistic and absurd: Another historical line opened up the "living Cao Cao" who had been in troubled times in the five generations. So under the pressure of reality, he would give up and surrender and be willing to surrender.
Zhou Huaian originally thought that there was still some twists and turns and mental journeys to slowly suppress and recover the other party. You should know that the Taizu of the new dynasty in later generations once said: "Zhu Wen was in the four battles, and was slightly more cunning than Cao Cao."
However, on another time and space line, this person is also known for his smooth body that knows the current affairs, knows advancement and retreat, seeks profit and avoids harm, and is also good at uniting the favorable conditions around him, so he can get from a mere surrendered general who came under Huang Chao and seeks a broken Xuanwu Town as his foundation.
Then, he was able to get along with the imperial court and many vassal forces and rose in the heart of the four battles in the Central Plains. In the end, the whole family played the annexation game of "using the emperor to command the princes"; and he tore off the last fig leaf with his own hands, becoming the Taizu of Houliang who usurped the Five Dynasties.
Of course, as the result of his surrender so quickly, the staff team of the Grand Governor's Office had specially formulated a complete set of countermeasures and deduction plans for him personally, ranging from politics, economy, culture and even interpersonal relationships, which made useless efforts.
However, it is not a completely useless effort. Because after verification through the Henan side and indirect intelligence comparison, it is easy to find that the Dokido region has been in serious economic problems since the beginning of spring, and even financial collapse.
So much so that since the spring famine and insect storm in February, the money paid by the Dongdu side has gradually lost its role as circulating currency. The market is depressed due to the scarcity of materials in the local area, and the people have retreated to the barter model.
In other words, more than a month ago, Dongdu was caught in the situation of wealth and food collected by Guanyou, but it was difficult to form a corresponding normal circulation and virtuous cycle; and this series of accidents were just to expose all accumulated problems and tear them apart on the table.
If it is followed by the normal Five Dynasties historical line, the reconstruction of order and internal and external integration will be soon achieved through the following civil strife or cruel power changes, and the excess population and instability factors will be consumed in the internal strife of each other.
Therefore, although Zhu Laosan still embarked on another completely different path in this serious magical space-changing line. But this does not mean that he could just be careless. After all, with Henan's heroic conduct in the heart of the Central Plains, any accident could happen.
Although the other party claims to have more than 30,000 swords as a driving force, it is hard to say how much it can be used, how many it is reliable and worthy of collecting, and how many it is directly controlled by him.
Of course, the opportunity to come to your door will naturally be safe. As the only fruitful and the largest in the Central Plains region, the former rebel forces that still respect the banner of the New Dynasties of the Great Qi Dynasty, the corresponding role model and demonstration role are also a reason that people cannot refuse.
However, this also means that the Taiping Army will gradually take over, and the decay situation and related aftermaths of the seven prefectures in Duji Province, and also give these old people a way out with both kindness and power. This is not an easy thing.
What's more, after the Duki Dokan completely turned to the Taiping Army in its status and essence; in the separatist structure of the Central Plains, the corresponding chain reaction and a series of reaction linkages arise from the Taiping Army.
But on the other hand, we must secretly carry out careful layout and deduction of countermeasures with multiple possibilities. Preventing this is just a temporary measure to endure humiliation and overcome difficulties in a sense, or to leave the probability and end of turning against each other again in the future, as well as corresponding countermeasures.
Therefore, Zhu Laosan's sudden sincerity and enlistment certainly opened a window and opportunity for the Taiping Army to intervene in the heart of the Central Plains of Henan; but it also created more problems that need to be solved and follow-ups that need to be properly handled. Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian said to the subordinates who were standing in the hall and waiting for him:
"Well, let's slow down the change of flags in Dogi Province for the time being. I also need to do some things for the Governor's office in the name of Dongdu before talking about it..."
"However, the corresponding aid materials and personnel can be sent from Luyang Pass first. The first batch of emergency grain and equipment will be sent to Luodu and the results will be observed."
"The remaining materials were transferred to Henan Expeditionary Army, led by Zhang Juyan's troops in Ruzhou; from the preparatory sequence of preparations for entry into the southeast of Shandong, six to eight supplementary battalions and garrison battalions were drawn to strengthen it."
"Don't enter Dongdu first. While gradually taking over local cities and shattering along the way, we will start to help and gather disaster-stricken households and refugees in Dukido, and at the same time, we will establish a preliminary order!"
"Then the two major defense garrisons of Lianghuai, Chuzhou and Guangzhou will prepare materials, equipment, ships and civilians on the spot, and make preparations for crossing the Huai River to the canal and transporting them northwards."
"The command of Jiangning, Dantu and Jiangdu to all the naval battalions to pull up their anchors and head north to enter Huai River to standby, waiting for an opportunity to sink and intercept all local armed groups that are coming across the border."
After all, with the upstream Sanchuan and the downstream Huainan Thirteen Prefectures successively pacified and turned to recuperate; this once prosperous Yangtze River waterway was also opened to the last node and blocked, and it became a golden waterway with a relatively safe and convenient, close traveling ships.
In this case, there is no need to continue to maintain it. In addition to anti-smuggling and stealing, there are more surface forces. Therefore, the corresponding naval army sequences have begun to be replaced and upgraded, and the transfer to more needed coastal and Huai River basins has become a natural trend.
After organizing and assigning specific tasks, Zhou Huaian also decided to meet the envoy sent by Zhu Laosan. Now the capital of Kongmu Guan Jingxiang, who is in charge of the East.
Of course, it was thanks to another story online that he was the wife Liu, who had been a legendary female hero in the late Tang Dynasty, including Shangrang, Shi Pu and Zhu Laosan, who had been changed several times and could be called a legendary female student.
