Chapter 265 Mr. Sima's Sly Smile

Kou Zhun's decisive decision to stay made Luo Ji feel less guilty.

He took out the guidelines for the new land reform in Sichuan and Shu. Sima Qingyun had put down his goose feather fan and quickly laid out the Sichuan and Shu map on the table.

Kou Zhun carefully flipped through the booklet on the new land policy reform. The more he read, the more shocked he became. His eyes were shining and his gaze was burning. "Teacher, who came up with these reform methods?"

Luo Ji stroked his beard with his hand, with pride on his face. "The outline strategy was thought up by Li'er, and the specific details were perfected by Mr. Sima and I.

Although there was a lot of resistance in its implementation, it was welcomed and supported by the grassroots people. The powerful force organized by more than two million grassroots people in Sichuan and Shu was enough to resist those aristocratic families and wealthy landlords who fought desperately.

Therefore, this is a revolutionary land reform policy, and it has been promoted smoothly."

"The Princess of Qin is truly a talent comparable to that of a saint! Your Highness the Prince of Qin must be a wise monarch whose achievements will be remembered for thousands of years." Kou Zhun was filled with shock and respect for the Prince of Qin and his wife.

"This land reform policy of eliminating the aristocratic families and powerful landlords who have occupied too much land, taking the land back to the government, and renting it out to the poor people at a low price is something that no great scholar or wise minister in the past dynasties dared to propose, and no monarch dared to adopt and implement.

If this land reform policy can be implemented in Sichuan, ten years later, no! Five years later, the entire Sichuan and Sichuan will be prosperous, and it will continue to prosper for thousands of years!"

Seeing Kou Zhun's excitement, Sima Qingyun flashed a sly smile in his eyes, "Kou Zhun, I remember that your family is a noble family!"

Kou Zhun's face straightened!

"Yes, I also come from an aristocratic family. But every change of dynasty in the past was not due to the aristocratic families and the wealthy and powerful people's greedy land annexation, which made the people who lost their land live in poverty and hunger, and then they fought desperately!

After a new court was replaced, after two or three hundred years, it fell into land annexation and perished. This cycle repeats itself again and again. Which of the empires established by wise founding monarchs can last for thousands of years?

The new policy did not force the aristocratic families and the wealthy and powerful people to death. Those who occupied too much land handed over, and they could still do business, open workshops and engage in industry. People with ability can still prosper."

Sima Qingyun bowed deeply to Kou Zhun in admiration!

"Lord Kou is a good official with a broad mind, a long-term vision, and compassion for the people. Sima admires him very much."

After Kou Zhun accepted the post of prefect of Chengdu, he devoted himself to the implementation of the new policy reform in the entire Sichuan and Shu regions with great enthusiasm. ...

Pan Mei led an army of 60,000 to suppress the rebellion and finally arrived at Jianmen Pass after a long journey.

The army set up camp in a flat area ten miles away. The vanguard commander, the golden eagle and divine arrow Li Mo, led the chief commander Pan Mei and a group of deputy commanders to climb a small hill three miles away from Jianmen Pass.

"Marshal, you can see the terrain and defense situation of Jianmen Pass clearly from here. My vanguard can only be stationed at the foot of this mountain. The terrain ahead is too narrow to deploy a large army formation." Li Moyao pointed to a pass between two steep peaks and introduced it to Pan Mei.

Pan Mei looked in the direction of his gesture and saw that the cliffs of Dajian Mountain and Xiaojian Mountain stood upright as if they were carved by nature. Even agile monkeys would find it difficult to climb. There was a majestic pass tower between the two peaks, and a narrow stone staircase road carved out by humans, steeply ascending to the majestic pass tower.

His heart went cold and he took a breath of cold air! "This Jianmen Pass is indeed worthy of its reputation. It is really a place where one man can hold the pass and ten thousand cannot break through!"

After seeing the steepness of Jianmen Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the generals lost their high spirits and discussed how to attack the pass with a serious face.

"It is not enough that the terrain is narrow and the army cannot be deployed . The steep upward attack angle is really a headache."

"Yes! The rebels are on high ground. Let alone shooting with bows and arrows, even if they throw rocks down, it will not take much effort. And our army attacking from above will find it difficult to resist. There will be huge casualties!"

: "How did God create this miraculous masterpiece? There is only one passage in the vast Shu land. It is surprisingly easy to defend and difficult to attack. This battle will be too difficult to fight!"

Seeing that all the generals were afraid, Li Mo smiled confidently and said, "Marshal, this Jianmen Pass has never been breached from the north since ancient times. We can only find another way. I

am not talented enough, but I am willing to follow Deng Ai's example and lead 20,000 elite troops to bypass the Yinping Trail, take Jiangyou Pass, and then go straight to Chengdu Prefecture.

After taking Chengdu Prefecture, it will be easy to capture Jianmen Pass from the south. Maybe, by then, the defender of Jianmen Pass will know "The situation is hopeless, and they will also follow Jiang Wei's example and surrender."

Hearing this, Pan Mei stroked his beard and smiled at Li Mo, who was eager to make a contribution, and said, "I also thought of this plan, and it coincides with General Li's!

Since General Li has taken the initiative to ask for the rescue, this great achievement will be handed over to you."

Li Mo clasped his fists with joy and saluted, "Thank you, Marshal, for your trust and support."

Li Mo selected 20,000 elite soldiers who were strong, agile, and strong in combat. Under the leadership of two local guides he had found long ago, they bypassed the undulating mountains and headed straight for the Yinping path leading to Jiangyou Pass.

Sima Qingyun, who was stationed at Jiangyou Pass, heard from spies that the imperial army was divided into two routes to suppress the rebellion. One route was to attack Jianmen Pass head-on, and the other was to sneak in from Yinping Road with 20,000 elite soldiers. He waved a goose feather fan, calm and elegant, but with a sly smile on his face, "Okay! I am afraid that they will not come from Yinping Road. Since they want to learn from Deng Aiqi's attack and steal Chengdu, let's give them a surprise!"

Young general Liu Chao stood up and asked, "Mr. Sima, I am willing to lead the troops to fight an ambush in that primeval forest."

"Accurate!" Sima Qingyun waved his goose feather fan and reminded, "Liu Chao, you are a local hunter and are familiar with the topography and environment of that primeval forest. Use your brain more and set more traps. Follow the prey's nose like a hunter, lure the prey into various traps and kill it. The enemy has many soldiers and generals, remember, don't fight head-on."

Liu Chao smiled mischievously, "Yes, sir! I will let them taste the sour taste of being targeted by hunters and being lured to death in endless ways."

Young general Liu Chao assembled 3,000 elite soldiers recruited from the locals, brought bows and arrows and other weapons and equipment, and headed straight for the primeval forest that was more than 700 miles long and uninhabited.
