Chapter 435: Sending troops to Hanzhong
Liu Xuande entered Yizhou and seized the family business of Liu Zhang, the same sect.
But this kind of thing is normal in troubled times. If you don't take what you don't take, someone else will take you.
Of course, Wang Xiao sent people to all parts of the world to publicize Liu Bei's clever robbery, which was also a normal operation.
Liu Bei, who took Yizhou, did not pause at all, and after temporarily reconciling with Sun Quan, he went directly to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for many years and has deep roots in terms of power. It's a pity that his soldiers and horses are in a state of tranquility all year round. Where is the opponent of Liu Xuande's hundred battles.
Wait until Hanzhong is defeated, and at the same time join forces with Ma Chao, who was defeated by Wang Xiao before.
Knowing that the emperor of the Han family was deposed, Liu Bei first entered the king of Hanzhong in Hanzhong. Then he returned to Chengdu and ascended the throne as emperor and established Shu Han.
Of course, Wang Xiao couldn't bear this kind of thing.
He is called a lonely man here, and he will directly come to the court to protest over there.
If you don't beat him, won't you be laughed to death by the world.
Boss Cao went to Yecheng for the elderly, and by the way, he looked at those old yin X. Others have now taken refuge under Wang Xiao's command.
However, there are no top strategists such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi. Moreover, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others were unwilling to fight against the old master. Wang Xiao's side was suddenly without a top-level strategist.
Guo Jia and Deng Zhicai died early, and Cheng Yu was in his seventies.
What Wang Xiao can rely on now is only Zhong Xuan, Liu Ye and others.
If this is against Brother Pig, I don't know if I can win.
After careful consideration, Wang Xiao finally decided to send troops.
His confidence comes from himself, Lao Tzu has experienced a hundred battles, and he has fought more battles than Brother Pig has eaten salt, so he can't beat Brother Pig.
Xu Shu was left to build the new capital of Luoyang, Pang Tong Chen Yu and others were left to maintain daily official duties in Xudu, Cao Zhang and others were left to guard the northern land to deter the grassland, and Zhang Liao and others were left to intimidate Jiangdong.
The rest of the people, who could be mobilized, were all pulled out by Wang Xiao and went to Hanzhong.
Before leaving, Wang Xiao called all the women around him to eat together.
"This expedition is of great significance. I don't want to hear bad news about the restlessness at home. ”
Wang Xiao sat on the main seat, looking around at the women sitting on both sides, "The affairs of the family are mainly based on the queen's will." If anyone is disobedient and wants to make trouble, when I come back, it will not be a matter of playing the board. ”
Sun Shangxiang, who is famous in Jiangdong, took the initiative to salute like an angry little daughter-in-law at this time, and said yes, I know.
The young Bai Lingyun is obviously inexperienced. By the time she reacted, Wang Xiao had already glared at her, "Especially you." If you dare to play tricks again, I will hang you up and beat you. ”
Bai Lingyun pursed her lips and muttered, "It's as if you don't fight much." ”
For this kind of person who likes to smear people's innocence out of thin air, Wang Xiao is too lazy to take care of her.
instructed Zhen Mi to take care of family affairs, and Wang Xiao was finally able to concentrate on the decisive battle.
Wang Xiao was not interested in fighting a decades-long war of attrition with Shu Han and Eastern Wu. With this time and energy, he estimated that he would have opened up the Western Regions and even gone south to India.
His plan is to decide the winner in a fight.
By attacking Hanzhong, attract the main force of Liu Bei's army to come to help, and if the battle is broken, the main force of Liu Bei can be defeated.
After that, it will be much easier to go down to Yizhou and seize Jingzhou.
As soon as Liu Bei is finished, the 100,000 grandsons of Dongwu will be dead.
Wang Xiao made full preparations.
The first is to mobilize troops and horses, and basically those who can fight are concentrated to fight.
The second is to transport grain and grass, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and an even larger number of people, and every day people eat horses and chew an astronomical amount.
Wang Xiao doesn't have the ability of the protagonists in Internet myths, who run rampant all over the world with millions or even tens of millions of troops at every turn, and don't even need to drink saliva.
He mobilized grain storage from all over the country and kept transporting it to Chang'an City for storage. This grain is the foundation of war.
The third is to open the warehouse, and all kinds of materials that Cao Cao has prepared for many years are transported to Chang'an City like flowing water.
Weapons and armor, wagons, tents, pots and pans, and so on.
Hanzhong is mountainous, and there is only a narrow and difficult Shu road to enter Shu. It is impossible for the two armies on the Great Plains to have a decisive battle and decide the victory or defeat in one day.
In the long-term confrontation, grain and grass materials are absolutely indispensable.
Because there were so many things, it took months just to transport these supplies to Chang'an City.
Fortunately, the army set off from Xudu and crossed Hangu Pass all the way to Chang'an City without any trouble.
Wang Xiao came to Chang'an City again.
However, the Chang'an City I saw this time was probably the most dilapidated.
Since Liu Xiuding's capital Luoyang, Guanzhong began to gradually crumble.
The once majestic and magnificent Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty has gradually lost its former glory under the erosion of the years.
Explain a little more.
During the Qin Dynasty, this was Xianyang City. In the Han Dynasty, it was Chang'an City, and in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was Daxing City.
The cities are located in close proximity, almost an equilateral triangle. It's mostly in the vicinity of Ryushouhara.
Moreover, the ruins in front of it can still be seen in the Sui and Tang dynasties, similar to the kind of Yuanming Garden.
The army was stationed around Chang'an, and Wang Xiao also went to the ruins of Xianyang City and Afang Palace to pay tribute.
Although they are not the same world, they are essentially the same.
Watch as the place where he once lived and fought has become a barren land infested with wild beasts and overgrown with weeds. Wang Xiao's heart was also quite uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty is reminiscing about the Qin Emperor Han Wu of the past?"
When you go out, you still go out to fight. Naturally, you can't bring a woman around, so you have to bring a compliment to relieve your boredom.
He assisted Mingjun and finally succeeded in ascending to the throne, and now Yang Xiu is simply high-spirited.
Wang Xiao looked at the broken bricks and tiles of Afang Palace, turned his back and said, "I have seen Emperor Qin, and he is indeed eloquent. Han Wu's words, I haven't seen it yet. However, it is estimated that there is also a chance. ”
Yang Xiu, who was in high spirits, felt as uncomfortable as if he had been plastered.
He wanted to expose Wang Xiao's lies and tell him that the ancestral dragon had been hanging for four hundred years. But he was afraid of Wang Xiao's identity, for fear that his mistakes would be repaired.
This complex mentality of wanting to show off and being afraid of being punished simply made Yang Xiu's heart as uncomfortable as a monkey scratching around.
Wang Xiao's eyesight is so smart, Yang Xiu lifted his hooves here, and he knew what this guy who didn't have a door on his mouth wanted to say.
"I don't know." Wang Xiao turned around, holding the sword with one hand and walked slowly, "I have indeed seen the ancestral dragon, and I even know what the shape of his beard is." ”
"He~he~~" Yang Xiu smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty is born from a true dragon, and it is also a matter of time to see an ancestral dragon." ”
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes. The real dragon was born, which real dragon you have seen that has been busy for so long that it hasn't even run down.
"Do you want to meet the ancestral dragon?"
Wang Xiao's words made Yang Xiu's calves tremble. He thought that Wang Xiao wanted him to die.
"This... If you want to see the ancestral dragon, you can see it when you go to Lishan. Yang Xiu wiped the beads of sweat and quietly praised himself in his heart.
After a pause, Wang Xiao turned to look at him in surprise, "You are not small, dare to go to Lishan to see the ancestral dragon." You are not afraid that he will see you and say that you have a relationship with me. And then take you down to Lishan to live? ”
Yang Xiu thought about that scene and trembled with fright. His head shook like a rattle.
After scaring Yang Xiu, Wang Xiao felt refreshed. The previous depressed mood was swept away.
went straight to Chang'an City, and went straight to Weiyang Palace without hesitation.
This magnificent palace built by Xiao Hedu, even after hundreds of years, still gives people a sense of majesty.
At this moment, Wang Xiao even moved the idea of moving the capital here.
However, at this time, Chang'an City was dilapidated, and two-thirds of the area of this city was a palace. Coupled with the places occupied by other yamen, there was almost no room for the people to survive.
If a new Daxing city is built like Yang Jian, it will not be completed in ten or twenty years.
Therefore, it is better to repair Luoyang City.
The palaces and temples of the Qin and Han dynasties pursued majestic.
At a glance, it is not angry and self-threatening, just like the heavenly palace, giving people strong psychological pressure.
The palace of later generations is exquisite. The carved gallery is very beautiful, but the majesty is much worse.
Sitting in Weiyang Palace, Wang Xiao closed his eyes.
It's a spacious, but clever echo installation and interior layout. Voices can be heard even from a distance.
Just like now, Wang Xiao could hear with his eyes closed that Yang Xian was selling his knowledge to the generals, and was reciting Sima Xiangru's A Fang Gong Fu.
Yang Xiu is suitable for living in the modern world.
With his mouth, he started a live broadcast and shouted Lao Tie 666 as a proper Internet celebrity.
Before being in front of the ruins of Afang Palace, Wang Xiao recalled the majestic atmosphere of King Qin's sweeping Liuhe.
Sitting in the Weiyang Palace at this time, what Wang Xiao thought in his heart was that the sons and daughters of the Han family went to the Western Regions, and with the unparalleled courage in the world, they opened up the bridge channel linking the East and the West.
"Shu Han and Eastern Wu must be resolved as soon as possible."
Wang Xiao's mind has already flown to the distant Western Regions, and he must reproduce the glory of the Han family.
Since the thirteen warriors returned to the Jade Gate, Ban Dingyuan led thirty-six people to sweep through the Western Regions. The influence of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions gradually faded.
When the Yellow Turban Incident happened, the world was in chaos. The Great Han no longer has the strength to pay attention to the Western Regions.
Losing the coercion of the Han Dynasty, the countries of the Western Regions rose up. It is said that there are 36 large countries and 72 small countries.
Wang Xiao didn't want to wait until hundreds of years later, and the Tang Dynasty would go to the richest man in the Western Regions. He now wants to pacify Shu Han and Eastern Wu and end the situation of the Three Kingdoms. I better draw my hand as soon as possible and look into the distance.
There are so many elites and outstanding talents, and they should not be consumed on this kind of battlefield.
At this time, the population of the Central Plains suffered a great loss and was in urgent need of replenishment.
Although the Western Regions are weak and small in terms of individual countries, the population is not large. But there are a lot of large and small countries over there, and the sum is a very considerable number.
At that time, a large number of young and middle-aged men who had migrated to the local women used to care for the local women and marry them with silk cloth and jewelry, which was a very reasonable thing.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao didn't wait any longer.
After Yang Xiu finished reciting the Afang Palace Fu, Wang Xiao had already stood up.
"Gentlemen, let us gallop... Bah! It is for us to send troops to Hanzhong and pacify the world! ”
