Chapter 609: Money and Vital Points

Guan Yu handled the official affairs of Zongzheng Mansion, which was equivalent to unveiling a new political pattern.

From then on, the small sect of the Tian branch ascended to the Han court as a relative; And Tian Xin of the Tian clan can be regarded as a royal prince.

In terms of the bad custom of the Han Dynasty's relatives in power, the Tian clan will continue to draw power from the court, and there will be people who will continue to defect to the Tian clan and act as a resourceful and minions.

This is how the dictatorship of foreign relatives has always been developed step by step.

I don't know what the future will be like for this move, but for the time being, in the medium term, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

No matter how far away it is, it's useless to think too much.

For example, during the Northern Expedition festival, Tian Xin expressed his worries in public...... This worry was not resolved, but caused a lot of unnecessary negative emotions and public opinion at the time, and it did not change Tian Xin's choice after that, Tian Xin still chose to be a vulgar person.

Seeing off Liu Bao, Guan Yu left the General's Mansion and returned to the old mansion by the military camp in Nancheng, where a private banquet was set up to entertain Wei Yan.

This is a courtyard with years of precipitation, in the early years, Guan Yu personally built Jiangling New Town, the so-called new city is to reduce the scope of the old city, and use the building materials of the old city to strengthen the defense scale of the new city.

Therefore, the walls of the southern city are still one and a half feet higher than those of the northern city...... Standing on the Xuanwu Gate, you can clearly see that the city wall of the north city is on average two-fifths shorter than that of the south city, which is very imposing.

In addition to the construction of the new city back then, the houses in the city were also replanned, and although the mansion obtained by Guan Yu was not the best, it was definitely only one drop away from the best one.

There is no need to analyze some things too deeply, such as Guan Yu's personal enjoyment.

The greatest advantage of the first emperor is generosity, and the repeated rewards are abundant, which is enough to shame the guiltless self-esteem of Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others.

Guan Yu didn't need to be corrupt, just the rewards that the first emperor repeatedly lowered were enough to maintain his extravagant life in the world.

Conditional luxury does not mean that it will be extravagant.

In terms of the pursuit of enjoyment, many of the ministers who have been fed by the emperor have become numb to luxury goods, and they are more concerned about comfort, and have artistic and spiritual pursuits.

After passing through the reddest, greenest, most conspicuous and most expensive Shu brocade, the other fabrics are actually the same; Once received a reward of thousands of catties of gold, the allocation of materials in daily government affairs is actually a bunch of data that does not arouse people's interest.

In the Ji Han Empire, the people who can fight, and the people who are liked by Emperor Xian, are generally the ones who are not short of money and don't like money.

And those who lack money and like to make money are generally people who lack achievements in war, governing the people, and governing the government.

The first emperor never had a soft heart to clean up this kind of person...... Guan Yu was soft-handed, so that Pan Jun is still alive now, although he is very low-key, but compared to Mi Fang, compared to the fallen princes of the Sun family, Pan Jun's fate is really too good.

When the old ministers got enough money, everyone seemed to have excellent taste, quite refined and outstanding.

For example, the prime minister, who has been repeatedly rewarded for replacing the field house on the outskirts of Chengdu, now has 800 hectares of land, and this data will grow with the operation of the field, saving money, and continuing to replace and buy, which is all a fair and honest transaction...... In this case, the prime minister is guilty of holding money?

In addition to playing chess and playing the piano, the prime minister's daily life is only painting, which is a very expensive hobby.

is also like Wei Yan, who is not a person who is short of money at all.

Now it is also the first time to visit, Guan Yu led Wei Yan to visit all parts of the house, which can almost be regarded as a garden and a scene, which is quite interesting.

Especially after Guan Ping lived in seclusion in Fangling, Guan Xing went to Jiangdong, and Guan Ji also got married and left, after the children who were originally fostered at home by military officials of all sizes were diverted, Guan Yu also had time and effort to tidy up and restore the house.

People always have to find something to do, and it is obvious that Guan Yu's attainments in cultivating gardens have given Wei Yan a lot of inspiration.

The courtyards around the house were turned around, Guan Yu and Wei Yan dined together, the meal was not sumptuous, it was just a home-cooked dish made by the Zhao family...... But Wei Yan eats this set.

A homely meal with all-you-can-eat, the relationship between the two people who haven't seen each other for seven or eight years immediately became closer.

Wei Yanduan drank tea, jumped into the current political pattern, and told from another new aspect: "The weight of Guan Long is far beyond Yun Changgong's expectations. I don't know if the prelude to filial piety details are detailed before and after the battle in Guanzhong, but I still have to say it again. ”

Guan Yu laughed casually: "He, there is no detailed description of the war in the recital. This battle filial piety first enshrined 21 people as marquis, each with a record of meritorious service, quite detailed. In addition, there is a letter from home, which expresses indignation but also tells about matters beyond the recital. Wen Chang mentioned this, but it has something to do with stirrups? ”

Wei Yan's eyebrows were solemn: "Yun Changgong's insight, this is exactly this matter. ”

After a slight pause, Wei Yan thought of Ma Chao, an eye-catching guy, and he didn't have anything to say: "I also know that filial piety was wronged first, but the court has never treated him badly." If you want to talk about grievances, who in the court has no grievances? ”

Wei Yan's face was unhappy: "What kind of person Ma Mengqi is, it is known to the world. Filial piety was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, although it was sealed by the first emperor of the Liangzhou pastoral system, but now it is quite inappropriate, and the future is endless. However, filial piety has the first intention, and I can also guess one or two, but I am afraid that it will be a long-term disaster, and no one can control it. ”

What did Ma Chao do in Liangzhou?

Typical self-respect!

Ma Chao, who returned to Liangzhou, is the biggest Kou in the world!

The details of the battle in the decisive battle of Guanzhong seem comical...... In the eyes of Guan Yu and Wei Yan, in that decisive battle, Wu Zhen's performance was funny.

Hesitating and missing the fighter, not to mention, the troops were scattered for a while, and Tian Xin ate the peripheral backbone forces in one bite, so that there was a joke about the Qiangqi coalition army rebelling during the decisive battle.

And the funniest thing is that he clearly knew Tian Xin's ability to assault in battle, but Wu Zhen went crazy and personally pressed up with the main force.

However, the greatest combat power of the new cavalry is to charge, but when Wu Zhen rushed down with the main cavalry, he wanted to attack Tian Xin's main formation...... Zhang Xiong's Changlin Army and Xian Yufu's Wuhuan Knight were strangled with Tian Xin's Chinese army.

As a result, the new cavalry had no chance to charge and engage the enemy, so they could only stop there and wait for fighters.

At that time, Wu Zhen was more than 100 steps away from Tian Xin, and then he was naturally captured by Tian Xin, and the Yongliang Army of the Great Wei was destroyed.

Wu Zhen is finished, but the news of the new cavalry can't be concealed and revealed.

Obviously, the Wei army and Beifu quietly completed the update of cavalry equipment, and there were also relevant tactics research.

But the main force of the Han army did not know, it is estimated that before the war, the Wei army and Beifu wanted to surprise each other, but I don't know what the situation was, the cavalry armies on both sides had the same new harness.

For the main forces of the imperial court and the Han army...... The new cavalry is a nightmare, the main force of the Han army uses heavy infantry as the tactical core, and the new cavalry restrains the infantry.

Ma Chao went to Liangzhou, with Ma Chao's ability to turn his face and his calculating personality...... In the future, if the imperial court wants to introduce war horses from Liangzhou, it will cost a lot of money, which is not cost-effective.

And the servant Meng Da has rushed to Guanzhong, to re-establish the horse political system in Guanzhong and Shangjun, Meng Da is more difficult to speak than Ma Chao, Ma Chao here you can buy horses with money, Meng Da is careful, and now he is rampant, and you can't buy a horse if you give money.

Without horses, how can the four states of Kanto be guarded?

The Wei army had a new type of cavalry, and the Beifu also had it, and soon the Han army would also have the drawings, production techniques, and tactics of related equipment.

But the Han army did not have a decent horse farm, although the Central Plains was dilapidated, and many places were uninhabited for hundreds of miles, which was very suitable for raising horses, but horse breeds have always been in short supply.

There are three ways for the Han army's war horses, one is captured, one is smuggling in Liangzhou, and the other is smuggling with Xiahou in the past two years.

Either way, most of the horses obtained are castrated stallions...... Things came full circle and came back to the horse.

Wei Yan had already foreseen the defensive disadvantages of the four Kanto states in the future, and perhaps he had foreseen his fate...... It is highly likely that he will be placed in the four states of Kanto to assist Zhang Fei.

This is to say hello in advance, and it is best to find a way to replace Ma Chao...... It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss in other aspects, you must get a reliable and stable war horse input channel.

Guan Yu also thought carefully about the priorities, Ma Chao finally made a comeback, and now he is in a hurry to transfer out of Liangzhou, and he must be unhappy emotionally.

When I was used to being at ease in Liangzhou, I was even more emotionally unwilling to transfer out of Liangzhou.

Cheng now also has influence on the officials of Beifu, and before Cheng Ma Chao is bold, it may be the only opportunity to adjust Liangzhou at present.

But once adjusted, Ma Chao didn't get what he wanted to take, so he definitely broke the can and followed Tian Xin all the way to the black.

"What the chief is worried about, he goes straight to the point."

Guan Yu weighed the matter and promised: "I will consult carefully with the prime minister on this matter and strive to handle it properly." ”
