Gan Ning and Deng Ai were able to penetrate Jiangdong, which was almost an established fact for Liu Yan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Therefore, when the good news arrived in her hands, she just smiled faintly and said: "Send Sun Qiao's family to Shuzhong, and the others will be handled by the teacher, if he thinks it is good to send it to Shuzhong, it will be okay to send it." Jiangdong's business is not over, so let the teacher catch more Shanyue slaves. As for those families, don't keep them!"

On the side, Zhang Song and Yin Guan originally wanted to congratulate Liu Yan on expanding their power again. But when I heard her say "it's okay if the family doesn't stay", the words of congratulations were held back.

This princess's attitude towards the gate valve family is called a ruthless and ruthless, no matter how big the family is, in her eyes are ants, the Wu family and the Xu family, one was exterminated and the other was driven out of Shuzhong, and her children will never be hired. This courage is more ruthless than that of a man.

Yin Guan was once the chief bookkeeper under Liu Bei, and he knew a lot about Liu Bei's group's strategy of uniting Jiangdong to resist Cao. It was at this moment that he felt the deepest. Saying that the alliance is not united, it is all the opportunistic means of the weak, the real strong are self-reliant, deep-rooted, in this world of the weak and the strong, the big fist is the last word.

Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, you are really clumsy, you gave birth to such a golden phoenix and didn't find it, so you drove her out. I want to give birth to such a strong daughter, what do you want a son to do?

Liu Yan didn't know what Yin Guan was thinking, after staying in Chengdu for so long, seeing that the war in Hanzhong had entered the scorching heat, and she couldn't finish it for a year and a half, her mentality changed again.

She began to consider the advice given to her by Pang Tong and Fa Zheng and moved the administrative office to Chengdu. It's just that her idea is much simpler than theirs, she thinks that Chengdu has a suitable climate, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the leadership team of Xiangyang has come, then she lives in Chengdu as well.

These days have nothing to do, she went to the long-awaited Shuzhong first water conservancy facilities Dujiangyan to observe, the ingenious design and realistic effects made her more determined to reopen Shu Road in the future, Shuzhong stable and rich welfare should be shared by the world.

When she came back from Dujiangyan, she immediately sent a handwritten letter to Fazheng in Hanzhong, saying that they should try to kill as little as possible and catch more coolies. In particular, those Taoist priests and people with a particularly strong sense of resistance can be arrested and put into the coolie camp.

As for the Jiangdong side, the children of the family who can't pick their shoulders and can't mention it don't want it, but the hidden black households accumulated by the families are a lot of population wealth, if they can be dug out, there can be more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, Liu Yan secretly calculated that with these laborers, plus the minority slaves provided by Meng Shu and the current army in Shuzhong, the matter of reopening Shu Road will not be just a matter of paper.

Liu Yan is worried about such a "high-level" thing as road construction. Outside, Pang Tong was busy with defense, Fa Zheng was busy fighting Hanzhong, and Xu Shu was busy resisting Cao Cao. It is precisely because of these three people who help her worry about military affairs that she can have spare time to worry about the "economic engineering" that seems inconsequential at present.

Xu Shu received the official letter from Liu Ba, and without frowning, he forwarded it to Gan Ning, who stayed in Jiangdong to do the aftermath work, and then left Xu Sheng, Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun, Lu Sun's and Lu Yan behind. These people can help Gan Ning quickly stabilize the chaotic situation in Jiangdong.

The other hostages, including Zhou Yu's family and Da Qiao, were all packed and sent to Shuzhong. Where does he have the spare time to take care of these people now, and the tents of Cao Cao's army have been erected.

The first to be attacked was Wancheng. The two armies responsible for attacking Wancheng were Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan. Originally, every time Cao Cao personally went out to fight, Xiahou Chun must be the one who guarded Xudu, but this time, Xu had Cao Ren there, and Xiahou Chun went out with the army.

Cao Cao didn't think about bringing Cao Ren to revenge, but Cao Ren's performance in Liaodong was too shocking, for fear that if he made some drastic moves, others would not be able to stop him and cause trouble.

In Xudu, there are Xun Yu, Wang Lang and a large number of people looking at Cao Ren, and he himself is good at guarding, and staying to watch the house is the best choice.

At present, there are also two guards in Wancheng, namely Li Yan, the Taishou of Nanyang, and Ma Chao, the general of Xingwu. Moreover, the whole city of Wancheng was full of soldiers, and there was no ordinary people, in order to deal with Cao Cao's southward movement, Xu Shu recruited 20,000 troops to supplement Wancheng.

In the final analysis, Jingzhou's foundation is too weak, and after such a long period of recuperation, the population is still pitifully small. Adding 20,000 foot soldiers is already the limit that the entire Jingzhou can afford at present.

Fortunately, Liu Yan sent Ma Chao here, otherwise Zhao Yun would have divided two uses alone, running at both ends of Xiangyang and Nanyang, and would have been exhausted to death just running, let alone fighting.

The battle in Wancheng was as fierce and arduous as imagined. Although Ma Chao and his cavalry terrified the two Xiahous, as long as they avoided Ma Chao's edge, their siege battle was still impressive.

Li Yan is simply good at guarding, and behind him there is a more guarded Nanjun Taishou Huo Jun to give him a steady stream of support, and several factors are superimposed to make Wancheng as solid as a rock.

The two Xiahou fought for half a year, but there was no result, but they also lost the deputy general Zhang He, and Xiahou Yuan was also seriously injured by Ma Chao and had to go back to Cao Cao's camp to recuperate. Xiahoudun had no choice but to retreat thirty miles.

On the side of Xiangyang, Cao Cao personally led the army to attack Xiangyang. Famous generals from all walks of life took turns to fight, and the soldiers who were surging like a tide washed the city wall in waves, and Xu Shu in the city commanded Ruo Ding, and kept it all right. Coldly watching the blood of Cao Jun's soldiers stain the city wall red over and over again like paint, he was laughing in his heart, laughing at Cao Cao for being too poor.

That's right, it's just that Cao Cao is too poor. wanted to attack Xiangyang with his own apprentices back then, but he was directly smashed open with money, and hundreds of thousands of gold were wiped out. Although Cao Cao is the overlord of the north, he is a poor ghost, no matter how smart his strategists are, they don't dare to mention such a luxurious method, they can mention the siege method, Xu Shu knows it, and there is no creativity and naturally there is no need for any special response.

In Xu Shu's calculations, Cao Cao's siege of the city lasted for three seasons at most, that is, nine months, and it could not be longer, because the north also had to farm, collect grain, and ensure agricultural production, otherwise Cao Cao would be even poorer.

In fact, the general siege of the city, half a year is a long time, Xu Shu overestimated Cao Cao for three months has already looked up to him, the fact is that after Zhang He died in battle and Xiahou Yuan was injured and retreated, the fierce Ma Chao led the cavalry to counterattack Xiahoudun's camp, almost blinding Xiahoudun's only useful eye.

Xiahoudun abandoned the camp and fled, Ma Chao chased him to the vicinity of Cao Cao's camp, scared Cao Cao out of a cold sweat, and sent many famous generals to besiege Ma Chao, but gave Ma Chao and Zhao Yun the opportunity to show their might.

Xu Shu saw the opportunity, ordered Deng Ai, Wen Ping each took the foot soldiers out of the city, beat gongs and drums to counterattack Cao Cao, the momentum was huge and lively, the actual Wen Ping was responsible for silently collecting the fleeing Cao army, Deng Ai was responsible for catching up with Ma Chao and Zhao Yun quickly.

Who knew that Ma Chao would kill Red Eye directly when he met Cao Cao, regardless of the fact that the cavalry behind him had been sacrificed, and he wanted to chase and kill Cao Cao single-handedly.

This frightened Zhao Yun behind him, even if Ma Chao's combat power index was full at this time, but after all, he had been fighting for several days in a row, and he was already sleepy and tired, and their goal had been achieved, Cao Cao's rout had been formed, and the siege of Xiangyang had been lifted.

If they continue to chase like this, the two of them are in danger of their lives, and they are afraid that they will sacrifice in vain and be worthless.

However, Ma Chao was not calm at all at this time, no matter how Zhao Yun persuaded him, he was just chasing forward. Zhao Yun didn't know how many times he wanted to stop him, but how could he stop him?!

Fortunately, Xu Shu had foresight, and Deng Ai caught up. Deng Ai, who was not good at words, coldly conveyed Xu Shu's order: "After killing Cao Cao, there is a chance, but if you die, there will be no future." ”

Deng Ai's words entered Ma Chao's ears, and they didn't have any effect at first. Deng Ai didn't speak again, he just took half of the gun from the horseback and handed it to Ma Chao, telling him a very cruel reality: because of your rash advance, almost all the cavalry in Jingzhou were killed, and none of your lieutenants and your own soldiers were left, even if you had a meritorious role in defending Wancheng before, you couldn't withstand the crime you committed this time.

For the loss of cavalry, the most heart-wrenching person is Zhao Yun, that is his hard work, it is the foundation he has worked hard to lay bit by bit, and now everything has to start again. But Zhao Yun is much calmer than Ma Chao, the team can be rebuilt if it is scattered, and Cao Cao is a victory if he is defeated.

This war lasted more than half a year, and the result was that Cao Cao was chased by Ma Chao and Zhao Yun after losing his troops and fled in embarrassment. Only a quarter of the 800,000 soldiers (in fact, more than half of the people) fled back, and most of them escaped or died in the siege of Wancheng and Xiangyang.

The losses on the Jingzhou side were also very large, in addition to the almost total destruction of the cavalry, the number of foot soldiers killed in Xiangyang and Wancheng exceeded 30,000, and the wounded were immeasurable. Xiangyang City was originally strong, and the city wall can still be seen after the war, but major repairs are inevitable. Wancheng is even more miserable, only the ruins remain, and it needs to be rebuilt urgently.

It's just that these losses are worth it in Xu Shu's opinion, the broken things can be rebuilt, and the lost population can be slowly recovered, as long as the territory is still in his hands, it is a victory. What's more, they not only held on to their original territory, but also expanded significantly.

When the victory was reported to Liu Yan, it had been more than two months since Cao Cao had withdrawn, so she was even more resentful of the difficulties of Shu.

For more than a year, Cao Cao, who had gone south, had withdrawn, but there was still no news of a complete victory in Hanzhong. Those people who were loyal to Zhang Lu protected Zhang Lu impenetrable, and would rather die than betray the Heavenly Master, which made the pacification of Hanzhong become far away, as long as he was still active in Hanzhong, Hanzhong would not be peaceful for a day.

Fa Zheng hated Zhang Lu even more because of this, and vowed to kill Zhang Lu even if he killed all the people in Hanzhong. The strategy of countering violence with violence has also exacerbated the chaotic situation to a certain extent.

After Liu Yan knew about this situation, she frowned at Pang Tong with a sad face: "Senior brother, this Fazheng's temper is too bad, I asked him to arrest those stubborn Taoist priests and people to be coolies, he is good, he has killed a hundred." If this continues, when will this Hanzhong be able to accept peace? Now that he is not subject to foreign military orders, I am really worried that something bigger will happen. ”

"Your Highness rest assured, although the law is ruthless, but he also knows the measure, he will not be confused in major matters, he must have his reasons for doing this, please wait and see what happens. "Pang Tong is very sure of Fa Zheng's ability.

"I'm not sorry for those foolish people in Hanzhong, I'm worried about the personal safety of Fazheng and them. Look at these, and these ......" While speaking, Liu Yan picked up a few bamboo books from the ground and spread them on the desk: "These are all suggestions to me, asking me to recall the military horses and end the battle of Hanzhong as soon as possible." Look at what they said, the battle of Hanzhong cost the people and money, and made the originally rich and stable Shu land full of miasma and resentment, this is not benevolent rule, this is the cruel rule of law, and the rule of law is destined to be difficult to last......"

These theories seem to be the truth, but in fact they are nonsense. It's just that my colleagues still think so, not to mention the "people of Hanzhong" who empathize with them?!"

Liu Yan particularly emphasized the words "the people of Hanzhong", and the sarcasm was overflowing. Pang Tong lowered his head and chuckled: "Your Highness thinks so much about filial piety and the soldiers, it is their blessing. ”

"Hey, I've been in Shuzhong for so long, I've always wanted to go back to Jingzhou, even if it's just to go back and have a look. Now that Cao Thief has withdrawn, he just needs to wait for the war in Hanzhong to end and see if he can find time to return to Jingzhou. Liu Yan said yearningly.

"With all due respect, since you have already planned to move the governance office to Chengdu, you should focus on the governance of Shuzhong, and it is not appropriate to travel far at this time. Pang Tong said bluntly.

"Senior brother's words are wrong, I must go back to Jingzhou, I not only want to go back to Jingzhou, but also go back to Jiangdong, meet the civil and military generals there, and listen to their needs. Otherwise, the pressure of Wenpin is too great, whether it is Li Dian or Zhang Liao, it is not something he can resist. Liu Yan said something that Lu Wen was not on-topic.

Pang Tong was silent, how could he forget that his female boss had a better desire to control the territory than men, and Jiangdong, as her newly acquired territory, was not as lonely as Yizhou, she would definitely want to take a look. What's more, returning to Jingzhou is something she wants to do, and no one can persuade her.

Seeing that Pang Tong was silent, Liu Yan knew that he didn't approve of going back to Jingzhou but couldn't say that he was depressed. couldn't help but change the topic and said: "It's okay left and right, you and I will go with me to see how our Zhou Dadu is doing now!"

Zhou Yu's family has been living in Sun Shao's house in Chengdu with Mrs. Wu, Sun Qiao's family and Sun Quan's sons since they came to Chengdu. Sun Shao went to Hanzhong with the army, but he didn't know that his mother had arrived in Chengdu.

After saying goodbye to the camp last time, Liu Yan never saw Zhou Yu again, and suddenly remembered him at this time, so she took Pang Tong directly to the door.

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had arrived, the person on the door directly opened the main door to greet her, Liu Yan swaggered through the courtyard twice, only to see a white-haired old lady leading a group of people to greet her.

"Sinner woman Wu, see the eldest princess of Yiyang. The old lady bowed her head and bowed. Liu Yan stopped, waited for her to kneel on the ground, and then said slowly: "Get up, this is Sun Shao's house, you are his grandmother, and he should support you." In the future, you and Sun Qiao's family will live here. As for the others......" Liu Yan looked around: "I will arrange another place for you to live." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Wu to speak, she walked directly inside. Only a group of people outside were left looking at each other, each worried.
