Chapter 98: Rewarding Money
"Hanzhong Zhang Lu is the same door, there is a sense of union, can reward Zhang Lu, treat each other well. Ma Shoucheng's father and son were killed by Cao Cao's men, but they could send someone to send their entourage to Liangzhou, explain the situation, Ma Chao must avenge them, and then reward Ma Chao as the pastor of Yizhou, how can he not go? Xu Shu said, then took a sip of tea and continued:
"As for Jingzhou, we are already extremely afraid of us, we should not hesitate to reward, now that the lord is the king, you might as well crown Liu Biao as the king of Xiang, and he will crusade against Yizhou!"
"No, how can you be crowned king at will!" Xun Yu retorted.
Liu informed that in this troubled world, the prince is not a fart, everything is based on strength! The value of such a reward is only needed for war, as a pawn.
Thinking of this, Liu Tong said: "Sealing Liu Biao as the king of Xiang and Liu Zhang as the king of Shu also added to Cao Cao and planted the seeds of turmoil in Yizhou!" In this way, I can also reduce the pressure on my father and son, and I can also show that this world is still the world of my Liu family, not the world of chaotic ministers and thieves like Cao Cao and Sun Quan! ”
When Xu You and the others heard this, they were overjoyed, this Liu Tong is really not a rigid person!
Tian Feng said: "To dominate the world, we should sweep away the eight wildernesses with the momentum of thunder." In order to prevent unrest in the north, the old man suggested that the Korean army be transferred to participate in the battle! ”
"Good! Feng Liu Feng is Xiangyin Hou, Feng Guan Yu is Hanshou Pavilion Hou, and Zhang Fei is Xixiang Hou! In addition, Zhang Fei led the army into Hanzhong. Tell Liu Bei that the crusade against Cao Cao is to avenge Liu Xie! Once Cao Cao's rebellion is put down, he will be crowned King of Han, and the Han will send a large army to help him seize the four islands of the island country in the future! Liu Tong got up and motioned for Wu to bring the map.
Liu Tong and the others surrounded the map, pointed to the map and said: "Xian Yufu and Zhang Liaotun are in Hefei, and Tai Shici is deployed to defend the Yangtze River to prevent Sun Quan." Ordered Sun Quanxi to attack Cao Cao, and the city he captured belonged to him! ”
"Ordered Han Sui to send troops from the most western Di Road in Liangzhou, through the first line of Yuzhong and Gansong, and through Konghan Valley to capture Yinping, Wudu and Qiaotou. Ordered Ma Chao to capture Jiangyou from Tianshui through Qishan and Ma Ge Mountain, and joined forces with Han Sui. Our northern army is divided into four routes, Tian Yu, Xu Shu, Zhaozhao, and Gao Lan; Jia Xu, Zhang Jaw, Sun Guan, Yin Liyi Road; Chen Gong, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Liu Qiaoyi Road; Wu Qiu Jian, Xun You, Zang Ba, Zhao Yun all the way! An army of 100,000 on each road, carrying a large number of siege weapons, including oil! Liu Tong said oil, only to see Zhang Zhao, Xun Yu and others have bad faces. Then said:
"Compared with the years of war, more people are killed now in order to die less! These are the prices that must be paid! Only by ending the war quickly can the people truly escape the doom of dying in war! Anyone who encounters the obstruction of the city gate and the camp will attack it with crossbows, catapults, and oil all the way, regardless of the dead and wounded! ”
When everyone heard this, they all gasped. The heart is really ruthless in this world! The style is indeed different from Liu Yu and Liu Kuan. Xu You and Xu Shu were relieved in their hearts, and they were not in charge of the troops.
"Tian Yu, Xu Shu, Zhao, Gao Lan all the way, with Tian Yu as the commander, Xu Shu as the military division, converge Ma Chao, from Tianshui through Qishan, Ma Ge Mountain to capture Jiangyou and capture Mianzhu, besiege the city!"
"Jia Xu, Zhang Jaw, Sun Guan, Yin Li all the way, Jia Xu is the commander, from Chen Cang into Baocheng, capture Yang'an Pass, cross the Sword Pavilion, take Fuling, and besiege Chengdu through the chick!"
"Chen Gong, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, and Liu Qiao passed through Chang'an, entered Hanzhong, converged with Zhang Lu, and Zhang Fei took the road to Hancheng, captured Baishui, and went to Chengdu through Deyang Pavilion after passing the Sword Pavilion."
"Wuqiu Jian, Xun You, Zang Ba, and Zhao Yun set off all the way from Chang'an and took Bazhong from Weixing! Entered Chengdu. The army of Zhulu will join Chengdu and kill Chengdu with catapults! ”
After the deployment of several armies, Liu Tong told Xun Yu and Tian Feng to dispatch in the middle, and gave the father and son the supply of ordnance, and Zhang Zhao was responsible for money, grain, grain and grass. Order the army to be assembled in two months!
However, it was said that Pang Tongyi rushed to Tianshui to see Ma Chao, and lied that Ma Teng was killed by Liu Kuan, but soon Ma Teng's entourage and subordinates arrived to inform him of the incident, and some officials of the imperial court then announced his appointment and order.
When Ma Chao heard that his father and brother were killed by Cao Cao, and he killed Liu Xie and seriously injured Liu Kuan, he was immediately furious and sent troops to chase Pang Tong, who had returned to Yizhou, but it was too late. However, he still accepted the order of the Military Aircraft Department and sent troops to Yizhou.
Liu Biao in Jingzhou was already frightened by Liu Kuan's injury and Liu Xie's death, and he was a loyal and patriotic person, even if he was worried that Liu Tong would annex him, he did not dare to resist the northern crusade against Yizhou. Liu Biao and his subordinates knew that in this case, if they refused the imperial court, the first thing the imperial court would destroy was themselves. Now that he is crowned king, he has to accept the appointment, and he knows that the general trend is irreversible.
As for Liu Bei, after receiving the order, he was very happy, as long as he sent 50,000 troops, he could exchange himself for being the king in Korea, and he had the opportunity to attack the island country, as if he had become a hegemon, of course, he gladly accepted the order.
And Sun Quan also saw Liu Tong's determination, knowing that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, but he was unable to attack alone, he was just more than enough to protect himself, as for Cao Cao's request for help, he categorically did not dare to accept it, if he sent troops to Yizhou to help in the war, Xian Yufu, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici would take advantage of the weakness!
Because of the unification and strong economic strength of the north, as well as the continuous supply of cavalry and horses in the steppe, coupled with the siege weapons, the northern army was overwhelmed.
With Liu Tong's maturity and his prophetic foresight in later generations, Liu Tong embarked on the road of dominating mountains and rivers and truly began his career of great competition.
After discussions with Hua Jun and others, the imperial court enshrined the righteousness of the Yimeng as the state religion, and legislated that those who cultivated spiritual energy were not allowed to participate in the world dispute. Zhang Lu was no longer involved in government affairs, and presided over the religious affairs of the Han Dynasty in the name of the national teacher.
With the establishment of the status of the Zhengyi League's prestige state religion, coupled with the imminent success of the great cause of reunification, Zhao Sheng was pardoned and restored to his immortal position.
After Cao Cao's defeat, Liu Tong learned from Liu Kuan's way of treating Liu Bei, wrote a letter of alliance with Cao Cao, made a blood alliance, and let Cao Cao cross the Brahmaputra River to the Indian Peninsula, and began the second half of his fierce life!
Under the persuasion of Xun Yu and Zhang Zhao, Liu Tong married Cao Cao's youngest daughter Cao Jie as his wife. Because Long Duan'er left Liu Tong before this and went to Changbai Mountain to accompany his parents to practice.
After a few more years, Liu Kuan's father and son, who unified Yizhou and Jingzhou, Liangzhou, and Hanzhong, led an army of one million and a powerful navy to drive Sun Quan to South Vietnam.
Sun Quan and Cao Cao were later supported by the Han Dynasty, and each of them gained a firm foothold, and both became overlords! Sun Quan was named the king of Yue, and Cao Cao was named the king of Du, hereditary replacement!
