Chapter 530: Xiliang's Strategy
Liu Bei held a banquet for three days, the three days passed quickly, and it ended in the afternoon of the third day, for the Han ministers, this is just the beginning, in three days, it is also to wait for those courtiers who failed to come in time because of the long distance, three days later, it is the real highlight, for the reward of this war, in fact, long before Liu Yi arrived in Chang'an, Liu Bei here, already has a general direction.
In this battle in Guanzhong, Zhang Fei was the commander-in-chief, and naturally he had the highest merits, but Guan Yu and Liu Yi took Luoyang here, completely cutting off Cao's reinforcements, which is also an important reason why the Battle of Guanzhong can end in such a short period of time.
In the end, Liu Bei named Guan Yu as a general, Zhang Fei was a hussar general, the same as the three dukes, the two of them were in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and Liu Yi was promoted to Sikong, in charge of the world's civil engineering, and at the same time Shaofu is still in charge of Liu Yi, but the post of Shaofu is held by Pu Yuan, as Liu Yi's disciple, Pu Yuan is the real leader of the Tiangongfang over the years, and the weapons in the army are basically from Pu Yuan, regardless of age's qualifications or ability, Pu Yuan is enough to be qualified for the position of Shaofu.
In addition, Liu Ba was promoted to Situ, and Huang Quan was appointed as Taiwei, the two of them have also contributed a lot to the governance of Shu Han over the years, and both fame and ability are enough to be qualified for the three dukes, and the most important thing is that now the position of the three dukes is somewhat empty, and the rights are in the hands of the prime minister.
Even so, being able to join the third public is also a great promotion and affirmation for the two of them, and they can be regarded as entering the core decision-making level of the Han Dynasty.
Further down, Ma Chao broke the sky, and later led the army to break the Qiang army, promoted to the general of Wei, Zhang Ren guarded the street pavilion, fought against Zhang He, swept down Longxi, Anding, Jincheng, Wuwei, and Beidi counties, and was the general of Zhengxi, Chen Zhipo Xu Huang, captured Yixian, and was the general of Zhengdong, and Huang Zhong was named the general of Zhengnan.
Wei Yan, Deng Ai broke Chang'an, punished Cao Zhen, Wei Yan won the post of general of the expedition to the north, Deng Ai was still young and lacked qualifications, and in addition to the interception and killing of Cao Zhen this time, the merit was more that the previous operation of Tuntian was quite effective, so this time he was named the general of Tuntian, and the chief official of Tuntian in the court, this is Liu Bei's new official position, but the real power is not small.
After that, it was Pang De, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Meng Da, Yang Ren, Yan Yan, Wu Ban These soldiers were rewarded, these are basically real power generals, Guan Ping and Zhao Guang have already taken office, so they have not been sealed again.
"Congratulations to Bo Yuan, promoted to the third duke." When the reward was officially down, it was already the seventh day after the banquet, Lu Lingqi had already come to Chang'an with his wife and children, and Pang Tong and Zhang Fei came to congratulate him.
"Rejoice and rejoice." Liu Yi said with a smile, at this age, he doesn't pretend to be high, he thinks it's just a false name, he wants to do things, he has power in his hands, the position of Sikong is not just in charge of civil engineering in the world, Liu Yi has to go to various places for on-the-spot assessment or construction, no longer have to go through the procedures, officials under the Taishou, Liu Yi has the right to be directly transferred, and Shaofu is directly under the control of Sikong Mansion.
"Kong Ming has been busy with corruption in Shu these days, so he didn't have time to come over to congratulate me, so I asked me to send a congratulatory gift." Pang Tong motioned for the servant to put down the gift, looked at Liu Yi and smiled.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Yi came out with his son, patted Liu Cheng's head and said, "Why don't you call someone soon?" ”
"The little nephew has seen two uncles." Liu Cheng bowed to the two of them in a proper manner.
"Cheng'er is also twelve years old now, right?" Pang Tong sat down on the chair, looked at Liu Cheng, and smiled.
"After this year, I will turn twelve." Liu Yi nodded, sat down with Zhang Fei and said.
"Why don't you see Liu Ming's girl?" Zhang Fei looked around, in the past, at this time, it was usually the girl who came out first, he was more familiar with Liu Ming, as for Liu Cheng...... This kid is well-behaved and sensible, and he does things in a straightforward manner, but he is not as good as Liu Ming to be treated by him.
"The queen summoned me and went to the palace with his mother." Liu Yi asked the two of them to serve tea and smiled.
Lu Lingqi and Queen Mi have a good relationship, they have known each other when they were in Mocheng, and over the years, because of the relationship between Liu Yi and Mi Zhu, they have moved around quite frequently, and Lu Lingqi's mother and daughter have been in Yunnan for six years, and this time they came to Chang'an, and they were recruited into the palace by Mrs. Mi to reminisce.
"Cheng'er has finished all her studies?" Pang Tong taught Liu Cheng a few questions, and found that Liu Cheng answered them fluently, and said with some surprise. Du, when Lu Lingqi entrusted the sisters and brothers to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong would teach them some knowledge, compared to Liu Ming, who has a jumpy personality and is like a demon king in the world, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang still like Liu Cheng a little.
In fact, Liu Cheng was quite out of the box when he was a child, but he was bullied by his sister a lot, and his temperament became introverted, but in terms of intelligence, he was not much worse than his sister.
Liu Cheng, as Liu Yi's son, grew up in the best environment since he was a child, and Liu Yi's tutoring is actually quite strict, Liu Yi is quite concerned about the education of his children, which also makes Liu Ming and Liu Cheng extremely prominent among playmates of similar ages.
"The teachings of my uncle in the past, I sincerely remember it, and I dare not relax for a moment in Nanzhong all these years." Liu Cheng said respectfully.
Pang Tong said three times in a row, for Liu Cheng, he loves it from the bottom of his heart, although his son is not bad, but he has a little less aura, through his father's generation, he may be able to achieve, but it stops at a county too shou, and Liu Cheng is young and old, although it is too early to say this, but when he is old enough, he has the potential to become a top strategist after training for a while.
"When are you ready to go?" Pang Tong pulled Liu Cheng, looked at Liu Yi and asked with a smile.
"It's been a few days, Kong Ming's side, has mobilized funds from all over the country from Shuzhong, I am ready to open the road first, and then build a new factory in Guanzhong, and repair the entire Guanzhong and Xiliang roads first." Liu Yi thought for a while.
She didn't expect that this time, in order to raise enough development funds, she would directly do it to the officials in Jingshu and Shu, and the means were quite sharp, and there should have been arrangements in advance, and when it was really launched, it didn't give people much time to react at all.
This trick is quite amazing, it doesn't give people time to react at all, and when Chang'an gets the news, the matter over there is basically over.
"Your Majesty has ordered Zilong to return to Chang'an, but this cavalry battle is actually Meng Qi can also fight, and when it is stronger than Zilong, why did Bo Yuan recommend Zilong to His Majesty instead of Meng Qi?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Yi and asked.
This time, in addition to the reconstruction of the second capital, Liu Yi also has Xiliang and even Hetao to be responsible, with Guanzhong and Heluo being taken, Liu Bei's side is already considered to be connected to the north and south, and the focus is no longer on Jingzhou's side, so Liu Yi suggested that Zhao Yun be transferred back, and Huang Zhong and Yang Ren should be replaced to guard the town, which can be regarded as giving Huang Zhong a chance to return to his hometown, after all, the old people are over eighty years old, to put it mildly, I don't know when, he may die of illness, let him return to his hometown, it is also a kind of care, this year, the idea of returning to the roots of fallen leaves is still very heavy.
As for who is stronger and who is weaker between Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, this is not easy to compare, Liu Yi estimated that if he fights in the Central Plains, it should be Zhao Yun who is stronger, but if he deals with the nomads in the north, it is still Ma Chao who is stronger, after all, Zhao Yun has been away from the north for many years, and the commanders are mainly infantry, cavalry battles, maybe it's okay, but I'm afraid it's not as good as Ma Chao, who has been living in the northwest and is even more famous among the Qiang people.
"General Meng Qi has an unruly personality, the situation in Xiliang is complicated, but it is not complicated, but it is simple, but it is not simple, some battles can be fought, some can't, General Meng Qi is afraid that he may not listen to my advice." Liu Yi said with a smile.
In fact, there is another reason, if Ma Chao is really put back in Xiliang, it is estimated that Liu Bei is not very relieved, after all, Ma Chao is poor to vote, plus his past experience and Ma Chao's prestige among the Qiang people, it is difficult to reassure people.
I can't say these things.
This time out of the town of Xiliang, ability is important, but reliability is equally important, therefore, Zhao Yun is obviously more in line.
Zhang Fei and Ma Chao have a good relationship, obviously a little dissatisfied with this statement, Pang Tong smiled and diverted the topic: "If Bo Yuan goes to Xiliang this time, there are some things to do." ”
"Convince the Huns to vote?" Liu Yi looked at Pang Tongdao.
"Hmm." Pang Tong nodded: "In the future, to enter the Central Plains, cavalry is indispensable, if you can get the effect of the Huns, it will be much easier." ”
People will ride horses since childhood, which is impossible to catch up with no matter how much training, throughout the years of conquest, the Han also has its own cavalry, but the cavalry on the battlefield, half of them are Xiongnu, Xianbei or Wuhuan cavalry, so it is very important whether the Southern Xiongnu will continue to take refuge in Wei or rely on the Han.
"Does Bo Yuan have any plans?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi and asked with a smile, he came this time mainly to help Liu Yi plan.
"If you are willing to cling to nature, it is best, I will try to see if I can completely integrate the Southern Xiongnu into my Han, if I am unwilling or want to be left and right, I will try to change to a single Yu." Liu Yi said with a smile.
Pang Tong nodded when he heard this: "It seems that I am too worried, since Bo Yuan knows it in his heart, I will not say more." ”
As for changing a single Yu, it sounds a bit exaggerated, but in fact, the strength of the Southern Xiongnu is not strong now, and even if the Han has not recovered the world, he still has this strength and confidence.
