Chapter 273: Welcoming the Son of Heaven
After Hao Zhao dedicated the city, the Han army finally not only succeeded in controlling Chencang Road, but also marched all the way east, occupying Wuzhang Yuan when the Wei army was unstoppable.
Cao Zhen hurriedly organized a large army in an attempt to prevent the Han army from landing in the Northern Plains north of Wuzhangyuan, but Yang Yi, who had achieved a great victory in Chencang, was now highly motivated and easily broke the temporary stronghold built by the Wei army in the Northern Plains, killing more than 1,000 enemy troops.
The Wei army suffered heavy losses, and Cao Zhen had to completely abandon a large area of territory west of Chang'an and stick to the Guanzhong Plain.
The Han army in history did not succeed in establishing a stronghold in the north in the previous Northern Expeditions, so each Northern Expedition had to repeat the difficult and dangerous Shu Road, resulting in the transportation of grain and grass becoming an obstacle for the Han army.
Now that Zhao Hao has won a big victory, the Han army can finally raise its eyebrows and embark on the old road of the Northern Expedition of Han Gaozu, and the future is bright.
However, back then, Han Gaozu was facing a few princes who were not united, and now Zhao Hao is facing the still powerful Cao Wei, and he has gained such a large territory, he needs the imperial court to give him more power, so as to reward the meritorious heroes, and use his new policies on this land at will.
"Isn't Champion Hou ready to take Chang'an in one go?" Liu Ye asked cautiously while sorting out the paperwork.
He now works until midnight every day with a lamp and oil, but he never gets tired of it, and he really feels the great joy of power.
He is now Zhao Hao's chief senior staff, helping Zhao Hao to sit in the rear and handle all military and civil affairs, those arrogant generals are shocked and afraid of him, just like Zhuge Liang in Yizhou,
This made him fly happily every day, and he regarded Zhao Hao as his big boss, and he was even more careful when he spoke.
Zhao Hao yawned, didn't raise his head, and continued to tease the panda who hugged his thigh and asked for food, Lu Yusheng was already asleep soundly leaning on the panda's fat body, and was whispering softly, and his cute appearance made Zhao Hao can't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Mr. Ziyang should understand, why bother asking."
Fighting Chang'an requires a large amount of logistical baggage and a large number of soldiers, and it is definitely not the best strategy to take the risk of attacking, but Liu Ye believes that with Zhao Hao's talent, he will definitely be able to come up with a method that ordinary people can't think of, and the current morale of the Han army is in full swing, so he can completely raise the war with war, tighten his belt and fight again.
What stopped him from moving forward should have come from Yizhou.
The benefits of this war are huge, if you break through Chang'an again, it is equivalent to crossing Yongliang, and you can compete with the imperial court of Yizhou, plus the significance of Chang'an is extraordinary, if you rush into it, it is really a fish jumping over the dragon gate, from then on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and it is a faction of its own.
At that time, he will naturally become a warlord, and it will be difficult to keep the court of Yizhou from suspicion.
"Mr. Ziyang, everything we do is for the revival of the Han Dynasty, and we have made such great progress, we should inform the Son of Heaven, otherwise we will defeat Cao Wei, and the Son of Heaven is still in Shu, how will you let him deal with himself?"
Liu Ye was silent and nodded slowly and heavily.
Although he is a relative of the Han family, he has no idea of reviving the Han Dynasty, and it is Liu Ye's lifelong wish to follow a master who appreciates his talents, as for what the surname of this master is, it is not something that Liu Ye should consider.
"This world ...... The credit of the champion Hou is too great. β
Liu Ye's mountainism began to be faintly troubled, he always felt that he had laid down this flowery country, and it was a pity to give it to outsiders, but he thought about it in his heart After all, they are still subjects of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Hao is not surnamed Liu, after all, he can't be the emperor, this is really ......
Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity.
Zhao Hao has already won the victory in Yizhou, please Liu Chan and the ministers in Yizhou are ready to return to Chang'an, as long as the Son of Heaven returns to Chang'an, the golden signboard of the Han Dynasty will be more shiny, and when Cao Wei is conquered again, many people can be stoned to death by relying on this golden signboard alone, why not.
Moreover, Zhao Hao has other plans.
"The new policies in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou have been promoted very well, and Luc wrote to me before that the wealthy families in Yizhou are quite hostile to them, and their trade routes seem to be in some trouble."
Liu Ye heard that he knew Yayi, he nodded, and said, "It turns out that the champion Hou has such a plan. β
When Liu Bei entered Yizhou, in order to win over the wealthy families in Yizhou, he gave them excellent treatment, and those Yizhou gate valves have deep roots and have always been around the Son of Heaven, of course, they are subconsciously hostile to the new policy, and will never tolerate Zhao Hao's behavior of using the land of the wealthy family to curry favor with Qianshou.
But in this era, the wealthy families of Yizhou have not yet formed a gate valve like the Central Plains and Jiangdong, and they dare not confront Zhao Hao head-on, and can only take some negative means to slowly confront Zhao Hao.
It's time to knock them up, and if they're not willing to cooperate, we'll have to crush them before they form a real gateβ
As long as the Son of Heaven leaves Chengdu, those Yizhou gate lords will immediately lose their protective umbrella, and they will be really disobedient, so they can only serve the Wei army.
Ding, congratulations on completing the optional quest - arrive at Gojogahara, and the system will reward you with a high-level treasure chest.
The beautiful female voice in his mind was still tactful, Zhao Hao just wanted to open the box, and the system said softly: "This treasure chest is a special reward, which can be combined with other treasure chests, do you want to open the box now?" β
Ahh
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, and silently thought in his heart to wait for the box to be unpacked.
Since it can be fused, then you must find a high-level treasure chest, but it's a pity that the high-level treasure chests he got before have been opened, and now the unfinished task is to kill Li Miao and get Jiang Wei's admiration, hey, isn't this telling himself to hurry up and meet Jiang Wei?
"Come on, go to the street pavilion to summon Jiang Wei to return, and I'll go to Ji County to see him!"
After Jiang Wei surrendered to the Han army, he took on the important task as soon as he came up and went to rescue the street pavilion, so he has always been close to Zhao Hao, and has always wanted to ask Zhao Hao why he attaches so much importance to himself, and even told many subordinates that he has the talent of a unicorn.
After all, Jiang Wei was just the smallest character in the Wei army before, and few people in Tianshui County knew his name, Zhao Hao had been fighting fiercely with famous generals from all walks of life, how could he value a big role so much.
After he received Zhao Hao's summons, he immediately rushed back to Ji County non-stop, and when he arrived in Ji County, it was the middle of the night, he didn't want to disturb everyone, so he had to sleep outside the city.
The water in early autumn was already very cold, and the cool breeze hit in bursts, driving away the heat that had accumulated on his body with great difficulty, and he had to wrap his clothes and armor hard, and he said in his heart that in such a cold weather, he didn't know how well his mother was living in the city now.
Although he knew that the Han army would not plunder food because of its strict military aircraft, his mother was too frugal, and he was always reluctant to wear fur, and no one took care of him at night, and he didn't know if he would catch a cold.
Jiang Wei thought about it, picked up some dry firewood, and surrounded it with stones in the cold wind and lit a fire to keep warm.
Zhao Hao's invention of this fire fold is very convenient, although it is a little expensive, but it is already much more convenient than the previous flint fire sickle, I heard Ma Jun say that there is still room for further transformation, Jiang Wei is already looking forward to the large-scale use of these things on the battlefield to inflict blows on the enemy.
He stretched and had just slowly closed his eyes when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near.
During the occupation of Cao Wei, Tianshui's armament was relaxed, and there would never be a night patrol, and nine out of ten of the horses who were nearby at night were the surrounding bandits and rogues, Jiang Wei's heart sank, and he subconsciously clenched the war knife in his hand.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, Jiang Wei could see four horses coming side by side, a knight jumped out of the horse, looked at Jiang Wei, and then looked at the pile of flames on the ground, and muttered: "I thought there were bandits, and they pounced on the air again!" β
He flicked his horsewhip in the air, obviously very unhappy, and several knights beside him smiled, and said: "Uncle and general, don't regret it, if you really encounter a bandit, we may not be able to beat him, and then our brothers will have to escort your retreat." β
Jiang Wei smiled, finally knew that it was his own people, he arched his hand and said: "A few brothers borrowed light, I am under the command of General Wang Ping, and I am ready to enter the city to see the champion Hou. β
"Wang Ping's men?" The knight looked at Jiang Wei carefully for a while, and couldn't help but frown, "Could it be that you are Jiang Wei Jiang Boyo, that famous general who is said to have the talent of a unicorn?" β
"No, it's Jiang Wei."
Everyone said that Jiang Wei had the talent of a unicorn, but Jiang Wei was embarrassed, he bowed respectfully and said, "Don't dare to ask the general's name." β
"Hey, don't listen to their farts, I'm not a general, I'm a medical officer, my name is Wang Xi, the word Uncle He.
It's not that Ji County is cracking down on bandits recently, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, so I took these live treasures out to patrol the night at night, I didn't expect to meet you! β
Wang Xi jumped off the horse, stared at Jiang Wei for a while, and muttered: "It turns out that the talents of the Qilin are all like this-they have a good skin like the champion Hou, no wonder I don't have any Qilin talents." β
Jiang Wei also had a certain understanding of the lineup of the Han Army's Northern Expedition, and knew that although Wang Xi did not lead the troops to fight, he followed all the way from Zhao Hao's army, and he was good at medical skills, and he was a capable person.
Seeing that Wang Xi had no shelf, he was also very happy, and after a while, he chatted with Wang Xi very well.
"I can't enter the city in the middle of the night, so let's sleep here." Wang Xidao.
The few living treasures he brought also responded: "Yes, yes, it is our honor to be able to sleep with the talent of the unicorn, and maybe my son can get a reputation for his talent." β
Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "What does it mean to take a meritorious test?" β
Wang Xi smiled: "You don't know, right? This is what we did in Jiaozhou, and the champion Hou opened a school in Jiaozhou, saying that in the future, the selection of officials will be examined, and if the score of the test is good, he can naturally be entrusted with important tasks. β
"Uh," Jiang Wei had heard of this for the first time, and he asked with great interest, "What are these tests?" β
"First of all, it is necessary to be literate, and the champion Hou also compiled a few textbooks by himself to teach the way of things, if he can have a pair of skillful hands like Ma Jun, he can also be an official.
Well, like me, I am a person with excellent medical skills, and I can also eat official food - the champion Hou said that in the future, famous doctors will be summoned to open hospitals and treat everyone in the world. β
"Huh?"
The craftsmen and langzhong of this era were all lowly servants, and although they were not suppressed as in later generations, it was difficult to associate them with the officials who were supported by the imperial court.
This champion Hou is really interesting.
