Chapter 251: Liu Che's Worries

At the beginning, Liu Yuetian exhausted his efforts in order to seize Tianshui, and finally succeeded with the "help" of the Qin army and the Great Zhou army, which had a great deal of chance, if there were no these two forces, I am afraid that Liu Yuetian would not be able to succeed even now.

Hongnong County has a population of more than one million, and it is located in an important place, which is much stronger than Tianshui in terms of military and economy, and such a huge city was taken by Liu Yuetian in a very short period of time, which has to be said to be a miracle.

In fact, Hongnong County has long become fat in the eyes of the surrounding forces under the management of Liu Rong, Datang and Huan Wen can destroy Liu Rong with any one of them, but the ancestors of Henan County will not let them succeed, although Zu Li looks down on Liu Rong, but Hongnong County is too important, in order to guard against the Tang Dynasty, Zu Li has already sent 20,000 troops to be stationed on the road between Hongnong County and the Tang Dynasty two hundred miles away, and the Tang Dynasty is also very scrupling.

But the most important thing is the containment of the princes of all parties, if you dare to move Hongnong County, other princes will inevitably take this opportunity to send troops, just like when Liu Yuan was convicted of rebellion by Liang Ji, Daqin immediately came to pick up the cheap, and Hongnong County is also like this, so Datang has not dared to act.

Liu Yuetian's identity as a prince has innate conditions, he destroyed Liu Rong, it can only be regarded as a power struggle within the Great Zhou, and other princes are not qualified to participate at all, Liu Yuetian is also aware of this to have no fear, plus Liu Rong himself "died", and now Liu Yuetian has picked up a bargain.

In addition, after Liu Yuetian sent Fu Jian, he immediately sent his cronies to tell Zu Ti the news at an expedited speed of 500 miles, and Zu Ti was 100% loyal to Liu Yuetian, and immediately ordered the troops guarding Hongnong County to strengthen their vigilance after hearing the news, so as to prevent the Datang side from getting the news and posing a threat to Hongnong.

Fu Jian occupied Hongnong in a very short period of time, and the people did not react after getting the news, for them everyone is the same on it, as long as there is food to eat, but those merchants, when they heard that Hongnong County returned to Liu Yuetian, they immediately smiled, their news is more well-informed than ordinary people, and many people know that Liu Yuetian, the king of the county, has a good impression of the merchants.

And Wang Meng led his subordinates to quickly take over the political affairs of Hongnong County, and then vigorously issued a series of measures, which are the same as Tianshui County, the agricultural tax has dropped from fifty percent to two percent, and the commercial tax has dropped from sixty percent to three percent.

Huanwen's Jincheng County is the closest to Hongnong County, and he was surprised when he heard the news, but he didn't dare to act rashly, in his eyes, Liu Yuetian and Liu Rong are both princes of the Great Zhou, he is an outsider, and he can only stare dryly due to his strength, but he also knows that Liu Yuetian is much stronger than Liu Rong, Hongnong County belongs to Liu Yuetian, and his life will not be easy in the future.

Datang sent 3,000 elite soldiers, led by Qin Qiong, but was stopped by Zu Taishou's army on the way, Qin Qiong saw that the other party had already prepared and did not come hard, and retreated after saying a few polite words.

In short, Hongnong County is calm, and the people's army has not fluctuated, but from now on, it will belong to Liu Yuetian, and it is no longer Liu Rong's world, as for the prince Liu Rong, Fu Jian sent five hundred elite soldiers to escort him to Tianshui.

Liu Yuetian's soldiers took Hongnong County without blood, and shook the world again, Tianshui, Hongnong, plus Zu Li's Henan County, governs thousands of miles of territory, with a population of more than five million, such a vast area is no less than the territory of the princes and kings, Liu Yuetian's strength has skyrocketed at least twice, if Liu Yuetian, who only occupies Tianshui, is just to make the princes of all parties pay some attention, then now, the two sides have reached the same level.

"What? My eleventh brother actually won Hongnong in one fell swoop, what about the prince Liu Rong? Where did he go? ”

When Liu Che, the king of Hanzhong, heard the news, he was so shocked that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

"Lord, then Liu Rong is in Tianshui City now, and I went to Tianshui to meet him this time."

Dongfang Shuo replied on his knees.

Liu Che did not hesitate after getting the news that Liu Yuetian was preparing to attack Chang'an within half a year, and immediately sent Dongfang Shuo to reply to the other party again, but Dongfang Shuo rushed to Tianshui to learn that Hongnong County had been occupied by Liu Yuetian half a month ago.

"I still underestimate this little brother, I don't have any scruples about doing things at the right time, even if it is me, I don't dare to act like this! But he still succeeded, what about Datang? Didn't they make any moves? ”

"Lord, my Datang side sent an army afterwards, but it was blocked by Zu Ti on the way, and there was no battle between the two sides, and the news I got was that Datang also sent a messenger to Tianshui to congratulate."

"Zu Ti is also on Liu Yuetian's side? That's the problem! ”

Liu Che frowned and couldn't help thinking, now that Liu Yuetian occupies the two counties of Tianshui and Hongnong, such strength has surpassed him, if you add Zu Li's Henan County, the other party's strength is at least twice as much as his own, and the crown prince Liu Rong is still in Liu Yuetian's hands, it can be said that he is the first prince now, so what should he do? Who is the king of the week?

Although Liu Che has Liu Bei, the king of Shu, behind him, he also knows that Liu Bei himself has wolf ambitions, and he and himself are just using each other.

"Lord, this is a letter written by Liu Yuetian himself."

Dongfang Shuo took out another letter and handed it to the other party, and Liu Che hurriedly opened it to watch.

The meaning expressed in the letter is very clear, saying that Liu Rongzhide cannot make the people of the world return to their hearts, only Liu Che is the real lord of the Great Zhou, and he fully supports the other party's superiority, as for saying that he occupies Hongnong, it is just for the sake of the Great Zhou, and it will definitely be handed over to Liu Che in the future.

Seeing this letter, Liu Che was a little confused, what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd? Could it be that he really doesn't want to be the king of Zhou, or is he deceiving himself here and making himself take it lightly?

"Everyone, you all look at this letter and help me analyze it, what does my brother mean?"

Liu Che handed the letter to his advisers, and everyone took the letter and read it thoughtfully, indeed, with Liu Yuetian's current strength, even Liu Che is not his opponent, plus Liu Rong has lost the possibility of becoming the king of Zhou, it stands to reason that he himself is the best candidate for the king of Zhou, but the other party just recommended Liu Che to become the king of Zhou, this behavior is completely contrary to common sense, so they don't believe that the other party is not moved by the throne of the king of Zhou.
