Chapter Seventy-Four: Dingshu
Half a month after Liu Yan left, with Qianwei being occupied by Zhang Liao, the game between Ye Zhao and Liu Yan came to an end, Ye Zhao began to work on post-war reconstruction, and most of the two years of the first peace have passed so far, and Ye Zhao, who has just obtained a foundation, is currently focusing on the development plan of Shuzhong in the next few years or even decades.
The Shu road is difficult to walk, it is difficult to enter and difficult to get out, and any prince who has a foothold here will face the dilemma of having more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, but for Ye Zhao, it is he who takes advantage of the time when the princes are fighting and laying a solid foundation, and the natural closed traffic allows Ye Zhao not to worry about the bad diplomatic environment for a long time in the future, and he can farm with peace of mind and develop the people's livelihood in Shuzhong.
And after Liu Yan entered Shu and Ye Zhao entered Shu two purges, the influence of Shu sergeants on Shu was weakened to the limit by these two monarchs, if it was said that the scholars led by Zhao Wei and Ren Qi were entangled with Ye Zhao for the glory of the Shu people and the status of the Shu sergeants, then now Jia Long's submission and the soldiers sacrificed most of their land to survive.
Because after occupying the three counties, Ye Zhao has begun to use a large number of Dongzhou scholars, the more famous ones are Fei Guan, Wu Yi, Deng Xian, Liu Bi, and the full favor transferred from Hanzhong is very strict in law enforcement, and Xiahou Lan has also set up criminal guards to cooperate with law enforcement.
And those who died in the war of the Shi clan land, also Ye Zhao to the official ownership, by the government joint criminal guard is responsible for supervising the division of the field, the people only need to pay 20% of the tax every year, you can have the right to use the land, the most important thing is that the government issued the land property is ultimately owned by the government, no one is allowed to embezzle in any form, the government has the right to take back the land at any time, but also makes the Shuzhong family not only lose the possibility of annexing the land, but also the people's hearts are also Ye Zhao.
Moreover, Ye Zhao also set up academies in Chengdu/Du, Luoxian, and Qianwei, and invited scholars from the Hanmen in Shuzhong to study in the county, and even invited Cai Yong to preside over the professor, and also set up schools in various counties, even if the children of the poor or the people can also study.
Poor and even poor...... Coupled with the field products, Ye Zhao is digging roots! If you do this in the Central Plains, you will definitely be punished by the world's corporal population in minutes, but this is Shuzhong, the Shu sergeant has just suffered a big injury, and the bloody massacre of Qianwei World War is even more chilling, which dares to jump out and go against Ye Zhao at this time?
Attracting outsiders to vote? It doesn't exist, Hanzhong is the throat of Shuzhong, and now it is firmly controlled by Ye Zhao, and the current situation in Chang'an, I'm afraid it can't take into account Shuzhong.
If you don't bow to Ye Zhao, I'm afraid that in a few years, the scholars in Shu can only hold on to the glory of the past, and gradually decline, so after Jia Long joined Ye Zhao's command, he actively recommended talents to Ye Zhao, the Zhang brothers in Shu, Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Mianzhu celebrity Qin Mi, Langzhong celebrity Huang Quan, Guanghan Wang Ti were persuaded by Jia Long one by one, worshiped under Ye Zhao's door, between the ten months, Ye Zhao will be able to get the good talent in Shu, plus the previous Wu Yi, Fei Guan and others, now Ye Zhao's account can be said to be full of talents, and there is no need to worry about no one under the account.
However, the two major factions of Dongguan Shi and Shuzhong Famous Scholars have also gradually formed, plus the early Xi Zhicai, Man Chong, Qiu Chi, Huang Shao and others, and now Ye Zhao's ministers and officials have faintly formed three major factions.
However, in the army, it was mainly the generals under Ye Zhao, Ji Ling returned to Hanzhong, in exchange for Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan, plus Zhang Liao, Ding Li, Fang Yue, Guan Hai, these people are enough for Ye Zhao to control the army, as long as the army is in hand, Ye Zhao is not worried about what these people can do.
"Pray for the lord to avenge Prime Minister Dong!" Half a month later, Huaxiong rushed to Chengdu, and after seeing Ye Zhao, he didn't say a word, knelt down and bowed.
It can be seen that Hua Xiong has not closed his eyes for many days, and his eyes are full of bloodshots.
"Wen Kai knows what he will say?" Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and frowned.
Chang'an is more than a thousand miles away from Chengdu/Capital, even if it is a straight-line distance, he is thousands of miles away, not to mention that Ye Zhao can't take care of things that far away at the moment, even if he can take care of it, his main energy is now focused on running Chengdu/Du, Shuzhong is not stable, he can't just because of Hua Xiong's words, send troops to Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo.
"The last general knows that this matter is difficult for some strong people, and the last general only pleads with the lord, only three thousand soldiers and horses, and the last general will go to Guanzhong, gather Xiliang Jian'er, and capture Chang'an for the lord!" Hua Xiong said loudly.
When Hua Xiong was under Dong Zhuo's command, the officials were not as good as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen and others, but before Lu Bu joined, he was a veritable first fierce general in Xiliang, and he was known as a prestige in the Xiliang army, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Hua Xiong is really likely to recruit a large number of Xiliang troops, and if Ye Zhao makes a move, it is not a problem to take Chang'an.
But the problem is that this is not Ye Zhao's policy, now that Shuzhong is undecided, even if he takes Chang'an, Ye Zhao will take care of one and lose the other, not that the bigger the territory, the more beneficial it is, before the foundation is insufficient, blind expansion will only consume his own potential and make a wedding dress for others.
"Wen happily misses the heart of the old master, I also admire it very much, but at this time, the situation in Guanzhong is complicated, although Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Xiang, they may not be able to control the land of Sanfu, Wang Yun is stubborn, Lu Bu has no plan, these two will not last long, you should not be impatient, if these two are not defeated next year, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, let you go to revenge in person!" Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and sighed.
"Thank you, my lord!" When Hua Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"It's just one thing, I hope Wen Kai can keep it in mind." Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and said: "At the beginning, I tried my best to capture you, because I valued Wen Kai's loyalty and bravery, and now you miss the old master, and this Hou admires, but at this time, you are Ye's general, if my three armies are tired because of your revenge, how can you talk about loyalty?" Dong Zhuo's defeat, the root of the bane has been planted in Luoyang, although it is a pity to be defeated now, but in the battle of the princes, the winner is the king, if you can't even understand this, you are only worthy of a brave general. ”
"Remember!" Hua Xiong took a deep breath and bowed to Ye Zhao.
"Go down, what the official said, I will definitely make a number, I won't deceive my own people, you just wait and see what happens in Chang'an!" Ye Zhao stood up, waved his hand and said: "Before that, you first led a battalion of soldiers and horses for drills, and now that Shuzhong is newly determined, I plan to expand the army by 10,000, and I will allow you a battalion." ”
"Whoa! The end will be retired! Hua Xiong hurriedly got up and said.
Watching Huaxiong leave, Ye Zhao also got up and went to the inner hall, now Shuzhong is newly determined, and the land of a state is not exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration to increase the number of troops by 100,000, but Ye Zhao does not want to affect the development of Shuzhong because of the increase in troops, and the terrain in Shuzhong is difficult, and the places where the troops are needed are not as many as in the Central Plains, most of them are still fighting with the Nanban and Qiang people, the people brought by Ye Zhao before and the troops in Shu are enough, and another 10,000 are recruited, if you can successfully say that Zhang Lu will be surrendered, Ye Zhao will have 80,000 soldiers under his command, in terms of Shu, it is already a lot, You must know that he pursues a policy of elite soldiers.
Sanfu is in turmoil, Ye Zhao is not ready to participate, but the few talents he saw before can now be moved, and now Zhang Yueshang is presiding over the secret guard in Chang'an, and he has been dormant for so long, but it is time to move.
"Lord, Zhang Lu handed over the letter of surrender!" The next day, Ye Zhao was processing the official documents, but when he saw the new subordinate Zhang Su coming in, he handed a table to Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, in this way, Bajun can get it!" ”
Zhang Lutun soldiers, there are 20,000 people, Ye Zhao broke through the city/capital, then cut off Zhang Lu's food and grass supply, and at the same time increase the troops Mianzhu, Zitong, Jiameng three passes, firmly locked Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was originally as Zhao Wei said at the beginning, after learning that Jiameng Pass was broken, he wanted to take the waterway to attack Jiameng Pass, but Ye Zhaoxian sent Fang Yue to guard, during this time Zhang Lu had several tentative attacks, but were repelled by Fang Yue, now the overall situation in Shuzhong has been decided, Liu Yan was sent away by Ye Zhao.
Zhang Lu only relied on Langzhong, even if he added the land of Bajun, he could not support 20,000 troops, and now surrendering is a wise move.
Ye Zhao took the table, swept his eyes a few times and said, "If you want to retain military power, you still want to be the Taishou of Bajun?" ”
Turning his head to look at Zhang Su and said, "Why did Junqiao think that this Zhang Lu came to surrender?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Su sweated on his forehead, and said with some embarrassment: "According to the rules, since Zhang Lu surrendered, he should be given the position of a county guard, and the soldiers under his command ......"
"The military power in Shuzhong must be returned to the General's Mansion!" Ye Zhao snorted coldly: "He wants to be a Taishou, just as I plan to divide Ba County into three counties in the east and west, so I ordered him to be the Taishou of Brazil, and govern the three counties of Langzhong, Chong County, and Hanchang. ”
"Whoa! Humble this letter in reply! Zhang Su can see that his lord is an extremely strong lord, and Zhang Lu has miscalculated this time.
"In addition, go and help me prepare, after the beginning of spring next year, choose an auspicious day to marry Cai Weng's daughter and my sister Cai Yan, invite all the princes of the world, and at the same time go to the court, I want to take the post of Yizhou pastor!" Spread the edict to the counties of Yizhou, before the marquis's wedding, if you can't offer a table, I will regard it as an enemy! Ye Zhao handed a book to Zhang Sudao.
"Whoa!" When Zhang Su heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, this was going to do a big thing, so he didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly bowed down and retired.
Marrying Cai Yan was originally a matter set before, and now that Shu Zhong has been decided, he just took the opportunity to become the lord of Yizhou to spread the news.
After Zhang Su left, he immediately ordered someone to write an invitation, although the wedding date has not been decided, but it is next spring, which will spread all over the world, and invite people to watch the ceremony, not only to send the invitation, but also to leave enough time for the princes and ministers to arrive, it is time to post.
This is also Ye Zhao's announcement to the world that he will join the chessboard of this princes' competition, as for whether the princes will come, it is not yet known, but this etiquette must be done thoroughly, but ...... Ye Zhao already has a wife, and she is still a princess of the Han family, will she marry Cai Yan in such a high-profile manner......
Zhang Su thought of this, but he didn't dare to ask more, he just followed Ye Zhao's order, and as for the rest, it was not within Zhang Su's consideration.
