Chapter 1278: The General Trend of the World
The war has ended, although there are more than 100,000 troops outside the city of Jinguan, but it has not affected the lives of the people in the city, Li Jing did not embarrass these gentry and officials in the city, and even more so against those people, the order in the city was quickly stabilized, and the people on the streets rubbed shoulders with each other, and they were not affected by the war at all.
"In the end, it is a prosperous place in the southwest, and it is a brocade official city. Although it is far away from the Central Plains, the market is still so prosperous, Uncle Wang, this is unimaginable. Li Jing was dressed in civilian clothes, walking on the street with Li Qiao, looking at the surrounding shops, among the shops, there were countless pedestrians, but he said with some surprise.
"Your Majesty, in the end, it is the southwest center, the roads in the southwest Bashu area are difficult to travel, and it is far away from the Central Plains, and only here can it have such a scale, if it is placed in other places, it will be much worse, which is different from other cities in the Central Plains." Li Qiao's body has no momentum at all, where is the demeanor of a devil, wearing a robe, he looks like a scholar.
"There is a Jiaozi in the southwest, but that is Jiaozi." Li Jing nodded, and suddenly saw that someone in the distance was not trading gold or silver coins, not even money citations, but banknotes made of bark paper, and immediately knew that this was Jiaozi, which was different from the Central Plains.
"For example, today, except for Bashu and Huguang, Jiaozi is still used, and other places use money as a bulk coin transaction." Zhu Wu hurriedly said: "Qian Yin is very exquisitely made, everyone in the world wants to use Qian Yin, and Jiaozi is very depreciated." ”
Li Jing nodded, he did not forcibly implement Jiaozi, but made a silver ticket, although the anti-counterfeiting technology in this era is not good, but there is no way to do it, in the later generations of science and technology is so developed, and there is no change in the situation of counterfeit money rampant, now Li Jing also said so, he is not arrogant enough that he can change everything. Some things are better off going with the tide of history.
"We occupy Bashu, I believe that Zhao Huan must have known the news at this time, and there are not many options in front of him." Li Jing said with a smile. Meng Lin of Bazhou is just a medium talent, although he occupies Bazhou now, as long as the army arrives, Bazhou can be easily captured, it can be said that at this time, Bashu has all fallen into the hands of Li Jing.
"The general trend of the world has been decided, the Zhao family is just dying, and the minister thinks that as long as there are 100,000 troops, he can level Jingzhou and defeat Zhao Huan." Li Qiao's eyes lit up, this attack on Bashu was only credited because of Li Jing's help, and Li Qiao was holding back the fire in his heart. I can't wait to lead the army into Jingzhou now and eliminate Zhao Huan.
"Don't worry, it's just a few months, let Zhao Huan live for a while longer, compared to Zhao Huan, I am more worried about the Jin country, we have been fighting with the Jin people for almost a year, although their soldiers and horses have lost a lot, but they have recovered quickly, although the essence of the Khitan was in Youzhou, but the power on the grassland is also very large, and we and the Jin people will also be a protracted battle." Li Jing shook his head.
Intelligence shows that he competed for the country in the Central Plains and the Southern Song Dynasty, Wan Yan Sheng was not to be outdone on the grassland, Wan Yan Zongbi fought everywhere, and took most of the grassland into his pocket, the soldiers were strong and strong, if it weren't for Lu Shibao to build Shanhaiguan, there were nearly 100,000 troops around him, and Xiao Weige's tens of thousands of cavalry, the attack may be insufficient, but the defense is more than enough, I am afraid that the iron cavalry of the Jin people would have already invaded Youzhou. Rao is like this, the iron cavalry of the Jin people has appeared near Shanhaiguan, often harassing the army of Lu Shinang.
Unlike Wanyan Zongwang and others, Wanyan Zongbi is the most advocating of attack, he fights bravely, and he is a handsome talent, commanding the battle at all costs, as long as he can win, the others are not considered at all, this talent is the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and now the commander of the Jin people has fallen into the hands of Wanyan Zongbi, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
"Your Majesty, Datang has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the territory is so wide, although the Jin Kingdom is strong and strong, but in terms of longevity, it is definitely not our opponent. The minister thought that the Jin Kingdom would be leveled within two years. Li Qiao saw that Li Jing was a little worried, and hurriedly comforted.
"If this is the case, then I will rest assured, I am afraid that this conquest of the world is not so simple." Li Jing shook his head and beckoned Li Qiao to continue playing in the market, and the guards behind him did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly followed. The figures of the crowd soon disappeared into the billowing red dust.
Just when Li Jing and Li Qiao were wandering around the market, Zhao Huan, who was far away in Xiangyang, had already received the bad news that Zhang Jun had died in battle and that Meng Lin had led the army to retreat to Bazhou. For a while, Xiangyang shook, thinking that Zhao Huan and the others were still immersed in the joy of eliminating Zhao Gou, thinking that although Li Jing occupied Jiankang, he was not taken by Zhao Huan in his eyes.
He thought that as long as Yue Fei was there, Jiankang would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and then he would be able to rule the river with Li Jing. But the news from the Sword Pavilion instantly destroyed his dream, even a fool knew that after the Sword Pavilion was lost, Bashu had opened the door for Li Jing, and it was only a matter of time before Bashu fell into Li Jing's hands.
In the study, Zhao Huan's face was pale, his face was full of unwillingness, he wanted him to lie down and taste his courage, and he suffered a lot of humiliation in the Jin people, even if he was facing Li Jing, he was also wronged, in order to one day become the emperor again, restore the Great Song Dynasty, wash away the humiliation on his body, Zhao Huan's performance during this period of time is also remarkable, but unfortunately, the number of days is not on his side, no matter how hard he tries, he can't change things, Bashu is lost, Li Jing's army can march east along the river, eliminate himself, do you still have a chance now? He glanced at Qin Hui and Jia Cunzhou in front of him.
"Your Majesty, although Li Jing is huge, but there is not enough grain and grass in the country, otherwise, this will not only attack Bashu, but attack Jingxiang, and set off a big war, the minister believes that at least it will be the time of next year's autumn harvest, which is the time for Li Jing to go south." Jia Cunzhou saw the fear in Zhao Huan's heart, and hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, what Jia Xiang said is very true, Li Jing looks aggressive, but it can't change the fact that the Tang Dynasty is weak, although Bashu is lost now, but Bazhou is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, on the one hand, you can defend Bazhou, avoid the road of Li Jing's army from Bashu to the east, and secondly, order Yue Fei to seize Jiankang and defeat Wu Jue, and after capturing Jiankang, we will wave our army south and defeat Wang Yin, or send good generals to the south to lead the soldiers and horses of Guangnan Road to deal with Wang Yin. There are a lot of things we can do in a year. Qin Hui also persuaded.
After Zhao Huan listened, he breathed a sigh of relief, if the situation was desperate, Zhao Huan might have lost confidence. This emperor, who has suffered countless humiliations in the Jin Kingdom, has fully grown up in his heart.
