Cao Zhen made the news that the Wei army had repelled Guan Yu to the public,

Hearing this, all the sergeants were overjoyed, and their hearts were finally relieved.

What made Cao Zhen even happier was that Sima Yi took the initiative to ask to follow Zhang He all the way to attack Longyou.

Sima Yi believes that Liu Chan has always been deceitful, and if he thinks about it with his toes, he knows that he will definitely occupy Longshan and make it difficult for the Wei army.

It depends on whether he wants to occupy the mountain pass of Longshan or occupy the street pavilion.

The mountain pass that occupies Longshan can also consider learning to smuggle into the rear, and if they occupy the street pavilion, there is only one way to attack.

However, the situation was not too bad for Wei Jun.

The new Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zhang is a talent, and he will never allow the Han army to cut off Longyou and cut off the connection between Liangzhou and Guanzhong.

At this time, the cavalry must have been mobilized to prepare for the attack.

Liu Chan's flank is about to be greatly threatened.

In addition, although Liu Chan has Ma Chao, a fierce general with considerable prestige in Liangzhou, who can be appointed, it does not mean that no one in the Wei army can use it.

"I have already transferred Fu Gan to help the wind and guard Fu Gan, with him sitting here, the general can rest assured that he can deal with the Shu thieves."

Cao Wei's talent pool played a huge role at this moment.

Fu Gan's father, Fu Xie, is a well-known figure in the Yongliang generation, and his reputation alone is absolutely overwhelming.

During the battle of Guandu, Fu Gan was able to send Ma Teng, and in a few words, Ma Teng, who was originally going to unite with Yuan Shao, was stunned, and turned his head to cooperate with Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.

With him participating in the war, it is naturally twice the result with half the effort, which is enough to deter Ma Chao.

Not to mention, Zhong Xuan, who has been in Guanzhong for many years, is also a diehard loyalist of Cao Wei.

He promised to also give his own part to Cao Zhen to use, and this time he had to drive Liu Chan out of Longyou.

And Sima Yi didn't reveal one thing to Cao Zhen, he not only recruited Fufeng Taishou Fu Gan, but also recruited a great talent from Fufeng-

Ma Jun, known as the world's most ingenious man!

He had already thought that if the Han army occupied the street pavilion and had Ma Jun's help, he would also have a way to break the city.

Cao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Sima Yi was so well prepared:

"Since this is the case, it is up to Jun Yi and Zhong Da to oversee the army, and this time they will say that they will recapture Longyou.

I want to see how much ability Liu Chan has to compete with the heavenly soldiers. ”

Cao Zhen directly granted Zhang He and Sima Yi 70,000 troops, with Zhang He leading 20,000 iron cavalry to go first, and Sima Yi commanding 50,000 troops as the rear team.

At the same time, he also ordered someone to pass on Guo Huai, so that Guo Huai must resist,

If the other forces loyal to Cao Wei in Longyou were willing to help the Wei army fight, Cao Zhen would not be stingy with the reward.

When Ma Chao occupied Longyou, he was overshadowed by the cooperation of those clans in Longyou, and Ma Chao had been hit hard before Xiahou Yuan's army arrived.

If Guo Huai can reproduce the classics, Cao Wei still has a great chance of winning.

"This time, you must drive Liu Chan back!"

·

After Liu Chan returned from Chengji, he was stationed in Ji County, the seat of Tianshui.

The path he is taking now is no different from Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition for the time being.

At present, Longxi Taishou You Chu is still resisting stubbornly, and the Wei army in Liangzhou heard that the Han army was coming, and they also advanced from west to east under the leadership of Zhang Ji.

He always paid close attention to the war on the other side of the street pavilion, and he did not dare to relax the affairs of the counties in Tianshui.

If you can stand firm this time, you can firmly grasp the initiative of the war in your own hands, and those clans in the Central Plains will not dare to go all out to treat Cao Pi as a dog's leg.

But if it doesn't work, the defense here will be greatly strengthened.

If you want to walk out of Qishan Road with relative ease like this time, I'm afraid it's not easy.

In the past few days, he has met with a bunch of local family names, and patiently listened to their enthusiasm and loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the exaggerated performances of these people, Liu Chan wanted to laugh very much,

But now that Liu Chan, who has experienced a hundred battles, he can still control his emotions very well, and he did not ask some embarrassing questions.

Under inquiry, Liu Chan learned that Wei Jun was still engaged in the policy of forcing widows to remarry, and they were playing more and more tricks.

In the past, the officials of the county and county couldn't make up enough widows to rob the people's daughters to make up the number, and now they are directly fast-forwarded to the country again-

Because of the continuous conquest that began since the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the population shortage of Liangzhou and Yongzhou has become a normalized situation.

The wealthy families here are accustomed to the life of the Tiangao Emperor, and they begin to vigorously annex the land to conceal the population, resulting in fewer men on the surface.

In order to change this situation, in the later stage of the previous Hanzhong War, Cao Cao moved a large number of people from Wudu and Yinping in Yizhou to the north into Yongliang.

With so many people migrated, women naturally want to divide it up as supplies.

Now that Liu Chan is calling, these Tianshui clans have begun to think again.

They hinted to Liu Chan that when the Han Dynasty occupied Longyou, could they simply count these Wudu and Yinping people who had been relocated as non-existent populations and reward them to the clans of Tianshui.

If they can, these wealthy families in Tianshui will definitely support the Han 100%, let them go east to the east, and let them go west to the west.

Such an explicit request directly shocked Liu Chan on the spot.

Although it is the nature of the people to conceal the annexation of land and the concealment of population,

But when the imperial court was strong, they would never dare to do so.

Even the Jingzhou Yizhou clan under Liu Bei was cautious when doing this kind of thing, and they never dared to put this matter on the table, causing the anger of the imperial court.

It seems that Yongliang is really the emperor of Tiangao for too long,

These people don't know what their last names are.

Liu Chan could have been very emotionally intelligent and wronged with them for a while.

But he pondered that he was now the prince of the Han Dynasty, and he spat on a nail,

If you make peace with them temporarily, it will not be easy to deal with them when you turn against them.

"The people of Wudu Yinping were forcibly requisitioned here by Cao thieves,

As the prince of the Han Dynasty, when the war is over, I must let them return to their homeland.

This matter cannot be discussed. ”

Seeing that Liu Chan was so determined, the Tianshu clan didn't say anything about it, so they could only leave in a huff.

Yu turned to the side and watched, and also had a slight complaint about Liu Chan's performance.

"Prince, at the moment the great enemy is present,

It is the time to employ people, why don't you make a fool of yourself with these people, and beat Cao Jun back before making plans?

There are many wealthy families in Tianshui, the Jiang family and the Yang family marry each other, and Jiang Wei, who the prince wants to recruit, is from the Jiang family.

If you turn your face against these people, I'm afraid of ...... I'm afraid there will be a lot of difficulties in the future. ”

Ma Chao was beaten away by Cao Cao back then, and once occupied Longyou, but he still had the strength to fight again.

But he only cared about contacting Qianghu, and the relationship with the Longyou clan was very poor.

Yang Fu of the Longyou clan led his troops to occupy Ji County to resist Ma Chao for a long time.

After the city was broken, he pretended to return to Ma Chao, but in fact, he contacted Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng, Yao Qiong, Kong Xin and other wealthy families to lead their respective families to fight back, kill Ma Chao's family, and beat Ma Chao to Zhang Lu alone.

Of course, there is a reason why Ma Chao's character is inferior and full of habits.

But it can also be seen that the Tianshui clan is really powerful.

The brothers of the Yang family, Yang Fu and Yang Yue, were able to rely on their family to respond to Ma Chao in the whole Longyou (higher than Zhuge Liang's popularity) to defend Ji County alone, and fought fiercely with Ma Chao for a long time.

Later, Cao Wei's reinforcements arrived, and Yang Fu personally led his family's troops to fight fiercely with Ma Chao, and even compared with Ma Chao a few times in person.

Because of the merits of pacifying Ma Chao, there are eleven people who are now marquises.

That's a bunch of Hou......

Fighting Ma Chao was so hard, Zhao Ang later accompanied Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain to die at the hands of Huang Zhong for the cause of Great Wei.

Is it too much to do so much to hide the population, annex the land, and pay less taxes?

Is it really excessive?

At least Cao Pi didn't think it was too much for the time being.

Cao Wei used the population and the Nine Rank Official Law to envelop them, and when they saw Liu Chan, they naturally had to open their mouths and ask for conditions first.

With Ma Chao Zhuyu in front, presumably Liu Chan will think about it.

Yu Fu was worried about these people,

Zhao Ang's wife Wang Yi, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were enemies of killing their sons and husbands respectively, and they were loyal supporters of Cao Pi.

This time they arrived here, but this woman disappeared inexplicably, and she couldn't search everywhere, she must have been hidden under the protection of these big families, and she didn't know where to wait for a counterattack.

Yu is now suffering a little bit of gains and losses.

Sun Ce still remembers what happened back then!

"It's okay," Liu Chan said indifferently,

"Yongliang has been in turmoil for so many years, and the people here who can survive are all unruly people, and they have long been dissatisfied with the court.

If you don't take the opportunity to pull it out completely, I'm afraid that the tail will not fall off in the future, and it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”

Yu was right to think about it, but he still felt that Liu Chan was in too much of a hurry.

He still wanted to persuade again, but Wei Yan had already laughed:

"What the prince said is very true, why should you be afraid of these mediocre people?

We have tens of thousands of troops, and if they dare to make a mistake, they will definitely kill themselves. ”

Politics is about compromising each other.

If you compromise too much, you will lose your principles and make people look down on them.

Although these clans are powerful, they can't be compared with Cao Wei's regular army after all.

If they wanted to rebel against Liu Chan, they could only wait until the Wei army broke through the street pavilion before making plans.

But Liu Chan obviously wouldn't give them such a chance.

When he was in Chengdu, he discussed with Zhuge Liang about arranging brocade guards.

But at that time, Zhuge Liang thought that the time was not right, and it was best to find a suitable reason to eliminate the vigilance of the ministers.

There's never been a better time.

If these clans are willing to cooperate, it will be very good.

If they colluded with Cao Wei to commit illegal acts, Liu Chan just took advantage of the large army at hand to wipe them out, in case they retreated by themselves in the future, what tricks would these people do.

After all, they are also very professional in collusion with Qianghu.

"Yu Changshi."

"The minister is here."

"I thought about organizing a secret agent to help me investigate Xiaoxiao lawlessness and spy on the military.

I think about it, this spy is the most suitable to be led by Yu Changshi, this ......"

"Like the embroidered messenger of the year?" Yu blurted out.

The embroidered messenger is a special army established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which is edicted to inspect various places, has a prominent reputation, and once caused the famous witch rebellion.

So the reputation is very bad.

Yu Pan heard that Liu Chan wanted to do this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But when the words came to his lips, he actually nodded in a ghostly manner.

"Yes...... Not bad either. ”

Although the reputation of the embroidered messenger is ten miles away, they are also the most trusted people of Emperor Wu back then, and they are a quick knife for Emperor Wu.

Yu has a strong ability to translate, is also very educated, and has a good reputation.

But his character is too bad, and he is afraid that the Han will recover in the future, and it will be difficult for him to have friends in the court.

Liu Chan put him in charge of this special army, which was his special trust in him, and he could never shirk this kind of thing.

"Okay, since the prince can be trusted, the old minister will go all out and will definitely not disappoint the prince."

·

"I can't let the general down!"

Guo Huai, who was in Shangti, also secretly made up his mind.

Liu Chan was powerful, but in order to occupy other prefectures and counties, he did not have enough troops to encircle Guo Huai in Shangtai for the time being.

This gave Guo Huai a brief respite.

Without saying a word, he captured Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun, who had escaped before, and with the help of the local clan, he pieced together an army of more than 10,000 people.

Now he is like a spike against the chest of the Han army, ready to attack at any time.

But Guo Huai also knows that he is looking for death when he takes the initiative now.

When the Han army did not come to fight him, he temporarily stood still and observed the situation.

Both the Han and Wei sides are now looking at the battlefield of Jieting at the same time.

If the Wei army can form a breakthrough there early, Guo Huai can cooperate with them to launch an attack,

If the breakthrough is too slow, when Liu Chan solves all the Wei resistance forces around him, Guo Huai also knows that he will not be able to hold out for too long.

He silently prayed to the heavens, hoping that his army would come sooner, faster!

Also, we must hurry up to contact those big clans who had a blood feud with Ma Chao back then,

Especially Zhao Ang's wife, Wang Yi......

It is not known where this person is hiding now.
