Chapter 41 The High Places Are Unbearable
Ba County is a large county in Shu, under the jurisdiction of 14 counties, the population is not the largest in Shu, but it covers a wide area, almost across half of Yizhou, Langzhong, Jiameng, Zitong, Baishui these dangerous checkpoints all belong to Ba County.
Ye Zhao wants to plot against Ba County, Bai Shui, Jia Meng, and Zitong are the three dangerous Xiongguan that must be faced, of course, if these three checkpoints are breached, Ye Zhao will never care about Ba County, but directly wave the Shu army, first occupy the Shuzhong Plain, and most of the fame of the country of abundance is obtained by this plain.
But how to break these three levels, at the moment, Ye Zhao still has a comprehensive plan, if he suddenly attacks, he can break one, but the remaining two levels will inevitably strengthen the defense, and if he wants to break through, he has to attack strongly.
And the strong attack is the last thing Ye Zhao wants to use, once the strong attack, no matter whether it can be broken or not, a large number of casualties are inevitable, just look at the Tiger Prison Pass, even if it is commanded by Ye Zhao, the military order can be completely implemented, Ye Zhao once estimated that a Tiger Prison Pass cannot be captured without 50,000 people.
As for the coalition's practice of using the people to consume the opponent's sharp energy, Ye Zhao really couldn't do it, if it weren't for this, there would not be the plague behind, although many people died, but looking at the miserable end of the princes, Ye Zhao only had one word: yes!
Maybe in the eyes of Yuan Shao and others, those people are just a string of numbers, but what is the difference between that approach and driving people to attack the city?
How to break the three passes, there is no hurry at the moment, Dong Zhuo sent the edict to Shuzhong, which was intercepted by Ye Zhao, if you send it again, you have to make a detour to Jingzhou, go around a big circle, you can't send it in half a year, you have been passive for so long, it is time to take the initiative once, Ye Zhao asked Xi Zhicai and the soldiers to discuss this matter first, anyway, he has the name now, and the next thing is to deploy the three levels of the strategy, as long as the three passes are won, the initiative will be completely in the hands of Ye Zhao.
With a large number of immigrants continue to be resettled, batches of grain and grass have also been decentralized, Hanzhong has gradually restored stability, some people in Hanzhong after arrival, inevitably began to feel homesick again, things have now been settled, not to mention that Ye Zhao has given the order to lock the pass, that is, there is no lock, this road is only the cost of the road, is not what they can afford, not to mention from Hanzhong to Nanyang, all the way up the mountains and rivers, it is inevitable to encounter some robbers and stupid thieves, and Ye Zhao can not provide food and accommodation as when he came, in order to migrate, Nanyang raised grain and grass, Almost all of them were spent on the road, and it was impossible for Ye Zhao to move out the granary in Hanzhong and send them back.
What's more, Hanzhong's current policy does sound quite tempting, don't say that in three years, there will only be 20% of the tax, which is now 30% of the tax, which is better than Nanyang or most of the entire Han world.
Hanzhong, after some combing, gradually returned to calm.
In the past two years, Manzhong has also cultivated a group of officials in Hanzhong to help him manage government affairs, although a large number of people have suddenly poured in, which has increased the administrative burden a lot, but it is enough to deal with it.
Huang Shao officially broke away from the Taishou Mansion and took on the affairs of the Shengong Camp alone, this Shengong Camp seemed to be an idle job, but only Ye Zhao knew what this Shengong Camp meant to him.
……
Ye Zhao's general's mansion is located in the city, in front of the door is a main street that runs through the east and west of Nanzheng, because of the cement, the general's mansion is twice as high as the ordinary attic, and the main building in the mansion has also built a special platform, standing on the platform, not only can overlook the entire Nanzheng, and even can see the scenery outside the city wall.
The height is unbearable, but Ye Zhao always likes to stay alone on this high platform, away from the hustle and bustle, but the behavior of the people in the city can be seen, standing here, can always give people a sense of tranquility, so that his mind can be concentrated to think about problems.
Liu Wei hugged Xiao Ye Zheng and appeared behind Ye Zhao with Xin'er, looking at Ye Zhao with his hands behind his back, looking down on the city, even if it was a rude and willful princess in the past, whenever she saw Ye Zhao in this state, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of awe.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Ye Zhao, which seemed to have crossed a layer of gold for him, which was obviously close in front of him, but it made people feel unreachable.
Since Ye Zhao returned to Hanzhong this time, there will always be a sense of majesty on his body, especially when he is standing here, that majesty will be much heavier, even Liu Hong back then, as the Son of Heaven and holding the power of the world, has never made Liu Wei feel like this.
This is probably also related to the environment, when in Luoyang, all parties competed, Ye Zhao was in it, and he could only be regarded as a small person, trying to survive in the cracks, and being cautious every step of the way, until Liu Hong died of illness, Ye Zhao had enough power to jump from the position of the chess piece to the chess player.
After that, the princes begged Dong, Ye Zhao, as the highest official among the princes, even Yuan Shao could not make him bend his waist, and the momentum that had always been restrained was gradually released, and the cadres were arbitrary, and the prestige that belonged to the decision-makers was naturally formed.
"Why is Madame here?" Ye Zhao retracted his gaze from afar, took off the mink fur on his shoulder, walked in front of Liu Wei in a few steps, and naturally put the mink fur on Liu Wei's shoulder: "The wind is strong, Mrs. is weak soon after giving birth, so don't come here." ”
The little baby in his arms babbled and stretched out his chubby little hands to Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao picked him up, and said with a smile as he walked towards the attic.
"Dinner has been prepared, seeing that my husband has been staying here, I am worried, so I came up to take a look." Liu Wei smiled and followed behind Ye Zhao.
Although Ye Zhao said that she could ask about some political affairs, it was precisely because Ye Zhao put down this sentence that Liu Wei lost interest after being excited for a few days.
She has a jumpy temperament, which can also be said to be three minutes of heat, especially when she watches her son grow up day by day, and her heart is gradually placed on her son.
"Why does my husband always like to come here?" Liu Wei glanced back at the place that Ye Zhao called the rooftop, except for the height, it was neither majestic nor hideous, she couldn't figure out why Ye Zhao always liked to stay there.
"I don't know, maybe it's for that peace." Ye Zhao shook his head, it was difficult to explain, the important thing was not how the rooftop was structured, but the feeling of being above all living beings, which made him feel empty and think about problems more easily, but this kind of experience was difficult to explain clearly.
"Today, General Guan Hai sent all the troops to bring brave soldiers, will it be as strict as Hongchang's training?" The group sat at the dinner table, and the family sat around to eat, this is the rule set by Ye Zhao, although it is contrary to the current etiquette, but living behind closed doors, others don't care how they want to eat, and Liu Wei and Xin'er are obviously used to this way, and they don't feel weird, but feel a lot warmer.
Xin'er also looked at Ye Zhao curiously when she heard this, the training intensity of the Nivan Camp, even if there is no Ye Zhao's supervision now, it is still a daily practice, as the guard of the female dependents of the family, it is naturally reassuring, but it is also a woman, the terrifying training intensity of the Nifan Camp makes Liu Wei and Xin'er feel distressed, after all, they are all women, why bother themselves so much?
"Now it's just training, weeding out some unqualified ones, and in the spring of next year, I will train them by my husband himself!" Ye Zhao shook his head, this group of people, he is not going to be used as a guard, and the strong soldiers he trained are not used but as guards, which is too extravagant: "These people will be used in the battle of Shuzhong next year." ”
"Husband...... Are you going to use troops against the emperor's uncle? Liu Wei heard this, but her eyes darkened, as the princess of the Han family, the last thing Liu Wei wanted to see was the conquest between her husband and the Han family.
Xin'er on the side heard this, and obediently lowered her head and drank porridge in small sips, this kind of thing, she still pretends to be if she doesn't exist.
"This battle is inevitable." Ye Zhao felt speechless, looked at Liu Wei with some apologies and said, "Madame, don't worry, you will be measured for your husband." ”
"But the old emperor's uncle holds the power of the military and political affairs of Yizhou, and the husband only has one county in Hanzhong, and the concubine is afraid of ......" Liu Wei looked at Ye Zhao worriedly, she didn't understand military affairs, but Hanzhong was only a county, and Liu Yan was based on Yizhou, only from the top of the force, Ye Zhao was defeated, so he naturally couldn't help but worry about Ye Zhao.
"There are many factors that go into winning or losing, and that's not all." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "In my husband's life, I have never lost a battle, although the old emperor uncle is powerful, he may not be able to defeat me." ”
"The concubine only hopes that her husband can return safely." Liu Wei said worriedly: "As for the old emperor...... If not, the husband does not have to worry about the concubine. ”
Ye Zhao nodded silently, and did not say anything more about this topic, he is now worrying about the three levels, and now he is eating at home, he doesn't want to bring these things to his home, and his brain also needs to rest.
After dinner, Ye Zhao accompanied the two wives for a walk in the house, until the sky was completely dark, and then went back to the room to rest.
Ye Zhao is now in the prime of life, with a strong physique and strong energy, coupled with a reunion after a long absence, it is naturally thunderous and boundless.
After the rain stopped, Liu Wei squeezed her soft body into Ye Zhao's arms, and whispered in a nasal voice with some exhaustion: "Husband, ......"
"Huh?"
"Concubine...... I want to see the lantern again. Liu Wei pressed Ye Zhao's big hand, with a little confusion in her eyes.
"Ten Thousand Year Lantern?" Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, it seemed to be a long time ago, if it wasn't for Liu Wei to mention it, Ye Zhao would have forgotten about it, but at this moment, as Liu Wei mentioned this matter, Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Liu Wei turned her head and looked at Ye Zhao who was stunned in confusion.
"Madame is really my lucky star!" Ye Zhao hugged her fiercely in Liu Wei's exclamation and kissed her heavily: "The battle in Shuzhong can be broken!" ”
