Chapter 378: The Zhang Family

The baldness department has to solve its own food and housing problems in winter, and Xu Miao in Liangzhou also has to solve the food problem in Liangzhou.

Since he became the assassin of Liangzhou, he has not been able to settle down for a day.

The first year ago, as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou to take office, the army of Shu Lu followed his hind feet into Longyou.

The Great War was followed by a great drought.

With Xu Miao's ability to govern the people, as long as he can survive the first year, as long as he can be given two or three years later, he will definitely be able to govern Liangzhou to the state border, and the people will return to their hearts.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that in the first year, without getting in touch with the imperial court, he promised an unknown number of county magistrates to go out.

Only then did he survive with the grain storage of the wealthy family in Liangzhou,

Who knew that in the second year, I thought that Shu Yu, who also encountered a great drought in Longyou, would rest for two or three years after the war, and I knew that I would be able to send troops to Jincheng.

Liangzhou lost half of its troops last year, but this year it was not easy to recover, and this year it went to half of the army at once, and even lost two counties.

Even on a cold winter day, Xu Miao could still feel the imminent movement of all parties in Liangzhou.

In this case, Xu Miao, who had no way to govern the people, could only sigh to the sky, and then had to ask for help from the wealthy families in Liangzhou again.

In the first year, all parties in Liangzhou learned that Wei had stationed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.

Many people felt that Wei still had a chance to recapture Longyou, so after receiving promises and benefits, they were willing to help.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the grain in Guanzhong had already been emptied in advance by an unknown Feng Junhou.

The 100,000 elite soldiers who don't have enough food and grass are also 100,000 soft-footed shrimp.

At the beginning of spring this year, after Cao Zhen was pacified and stabilized, he wanted to test the direction of stability and enterprising Longyou.

How did he know that Zhuge Villager's reaction was very great, and he directly sent a general to lead the troops out of Hanzhong out of Chencang.

The meaning of the threat is obvious, if you dare to touch my top, I will dare to move your bottom.

Cao Zhen, who was not ready, could only coax.

Now the situation in Longyou is becoming more and more obvious.

Many people in Liangzhou know that the Han State is only afraid that it has gained a firm foothold in Longyou, otherwise it would not be able to send troops to Jincheng.

After the loss of Jincheng and Xiping, Wei's hopes of returning to Liangzhou began to fade.

Therefore, this winter, the grain stocks of each family are much less than last year:

Xu Yuanjun, we just borrowed grain last year, so we have to take a break this year, right?

No one is stupid, and the grain that was lent out, although he didn't expect it to be recovered.

But you can't throw it away in vain!

According to the current situation, Liangzhou will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Han State.

Now lend grain to the thorn history of the Wei State, isn't this thrown in vain?

It's just that others can not borrow, but one has to borrow.

The car of Xu Miao, the assassin of Liangzhou, had just left Zhang's house, and the younger brother of Zhang Gong, the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions, and the former Jincheng Taishou Zhang Hua, was angry and closed the door in person.

Then he returned to the house where Zhang Gong was recuperating, and couldn't help but scold angrily:

"This old horseman has made our family pay for it three times, is our Zhang family so easy to bully?"

Zhang Gong, who is already old, has a sparse white beard hanging down on his chest, and his eyebrows have turned gray.

There are deep wrinkles on his face, blue tendons on his arms, and black spots everywhere, which also show that this famous figure in Xizhou and even the Western Regions has entered the twilight.

"If you don't borrow food, why don't you borrow your head for it?"

Zhang Gong was half-lying on the couch, wrapped in a thick velvet quilt, without even lifting his eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice.

If it weren't for the unstable situation in Liangzhou now, the Han people would want to attack the four counties of Liangzhou at any time, plus they still have a slight reputation, and they could help Xu Miao to pacify Qianghu in Liangzhou.

I'm afraid that Xu Miao may not be so easy to speak, just let the Zhang family lend grain.

Zhang Hua is not too young, but in front of his brother, he is like an obedient child.

was blocked by Zhang Gong's words, and his face was flushed.

Fortunately, at this time, there was no one else in the house except for his nephew Zhang Ju.

"After the First World War of Jincheng, the three main roads into Liangzhou were all under the control of the Han Chinese. As long as they want, they can enter Liangzhou in three directions at any time. ”

Zhang Gong coughed a few times, "I miscalculated this matter." I shouldn't have promised Xu Miao to let you guard Jincheng in the first place. ”

Zhang saw the adult coughing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help stroke his back, with a look of guilt on his face:

"Adult, it's a child who is incompetent......"

Zhang Gong waved his hand, "It's none of your business." No one thought that after the Han people fought the first battle of Longyou, they encountered a great drought in Longyou, and they would still have the spare strength to attack Jincheng. ”

There was the loss of Jingzhou in the past, and the defeat of Yiling in the back, and the vitality of the Shu people was almost exhausted.

How do you know that after a few years of silence, you can go out of Longyou, and it seems that the military power is not weak.

Zhang Gong, who knows that the loess has been buried to his neck, has experienced how many things to have today's reputation?

The thieves put a weapon on his son's neck, but he couldn't get him to give in.

But now he is starting to get confused, the Shu people are so powerful, why didn't they directly enter Liangzhou after defeating Hanzhong?

It doesn't make sense!

Can't do it...... Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is so much stronger than Liu Bei?

At that time, Liu Bei's subordinates, in addition to Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, also had many world-renowned generals and ministers.

However, after the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei fell ill and died, and the Shu Kingdom was almost destroyed.

Great Wei also sent the auxiliary general Xian Yu to send an edict to Shu to apply for the grace of Sanhao and persuade Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of Shu, to open the door to Shu to surrender Wei.

From then to now, over the years, the person whose reputation can be spread out of Shu is just a half-discredited Feng Yong.

The article is very well written, the leader is also powerful, and there is a way to collect money.

However, I heard that there are flaws in character, there are clever words, and women who like to marry are ruthless and vicious......

In the battle of Jincheng, his younger brother and his own son were defeated, and in the end, they also had the reputation of colluding with the Shu people, which was given by Feng Yong.

This son is indeed a character, but Shu is only such a one, which can better illustrate the withering of talents in Shudi, how can it be compared with the peak of talents in the Central Plains?

It is just such a state that not only supported the Han people to use troops uninterruptedly for two consecutive years.

even guarded Longshan in the east and refused to pass tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

In the middle of the long, let the Qiang and Hu all return to their hearts.

Take Jincheng Xiping in the west and coerce the four core counties of Liangzhou.

Zhang Gong felt that over the years, the Wei State seemed to have made serious mistakes in the judgment of the Shu State.

More importantly, even now, no one can figure out how these miscalculations came about.

So, what's the problem?

Does this Shu person not only have mountains of gold and silver seas, but also can grow food in the sky, and can also conjure up Dingkou?

"Da Dou Tu Gu, it should have been covered by heavy snow by now, right?"

Zhang Gong asked suddenly.

Zhang Hua and Zhang glanced at each other inexplicably, not understanding why Zhang Gong asked this.

"Lord Hui, the mountain has been closed a long time ago."

If you don't understand, you don't understand, Zhang still replied respectfully.

"My lord, don't worry, there are elite soldiers guarding the valley, and the Han people should not be able to come at this time."

Zhang Gong was not strong, he was half-lying and closed his eyes to recuperate, and sneered when he heard the words, "The Han people can't get by, you don't count what you say, the Han people only count if they say it." ”

After the First Battle of Jincheng, the well-intentioned people in Liangzhou came back to their senses: as long as Longyou did not return to the hands of Wei for a day, Liangzhou would sooner or later be the final say of the Han State.

"Adult ......"

Zhang is almost at the age of not being confused, and when his own adults say this, his face is ashamed again.

"Spring will start next year, if the Li family's caravan comes, find an opportunity to follow them back and see what the situation is on the right side of Longyou."

"If you can enter Shu and see clearly, then it would be the best."

After Xiping County fell into the hands of the Han Chinese, the caravan of the Li family in Longxi was finally able to try again through the Dadou Ba Valley and come to the land of the four counties of Liangzhou.

They didn't have to go west at all, because the goods of brown sugar, spirits, and wool had already been snapped up before they left Zhangye.

The fine velvet quilt covered by Zhang Gong was brought over by the Li family's caravan.

"Yes, sir. When the time comes, I will send the best men of my clan to follow......"

Zhang replied respectfully.

It's just that before he finished his sentence, Zhang Gong scolded, "Idiot, I'm letting you go in person!" ”

"Remember, memorize everything you can see, come back and talk to me."

Speaking of this, Zhang Gong finally opened his eyes, and there was no focus in his eyes.

"Emperor Wu is good at using soldiers, and he has eloquence, after the battle of Chibi, he issued an order to seek talents, and personally led the army into the Guanzhong, I knew at that time that Liangzhou must be in the pocket of the Wei people."

"After the Han people took Longyou, I first thought that they were just taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Wei State, and they would not be able to defend it for a long time."

"Later, he thought that even if they could barely hold on, they would not be able to move westward."

"After all, the gap between the Han and Wei dynasties is there, and it is a momentary coincidence, and it cannot be completed for a long time. However, until now, the Han people have acted beyond the expectations of the world. ”

In two years, tens of thousands of Wei troops were stationed in Guanzhong, without an inch, unable to break through the Han people's Longshan defense line, and unable to go south into Hanzhong.

Although the Han people took advantage of the danger, they had to defend Hanzhong and Longshan, and they still had the strength to enter Liangzhou.

The land of one state in the west can still do so many things, is this world crazy?

If Shu Di is really so powerful, then it should be Gongsun Shu who was in the world back then, not Emperor Guangwu.

Therefore, Zhang Gong needs to urgently understand the current Han Kingdom in order to make a judgment for the Zhang family's future choices.
