Five hundred and one chaos
The gang of people in the Western Regions finally left, and of course they left very aggrieved. They couldn't do without the gifts given by Liu Zhang, pulling several heavy cars of books, and went back with a stomach full of grievances. If you don't take these things with you, go back and ask the king for their gifts? There were too many books and it was heavy, and their horses dragged the books slowly on the concrete road. What's even more infuriating is that Liu Zhang didn't give them a good carriage, and the wooden wheels looked even heavier.
Niya hadn't left yet, only the envoys of several other countries had left one after another. At the end, Liu Zhang looked at Niya's carriage. I gave her a car with rubber wheels, and it was definitely much easier to get on the horses. As for how to use the weapons, Liu Zhang has already explained to them. In addition, Liu Zhang wrote roughly about how to govern the essence and how to use the local environment.
"I wish the general an early unification of the Western Regions...... Niya is also ready to leave, sitting on the horse, she is not as heroic as Ma Yunlu and others, nor does she have the wildness of Zhu Rong, but there is a feeling that she is about to become a goblin.
Liu Zhang glanced at her and said, "Let's go quickly, I will send two thousand soldiers to you as escorts, and let them come back when they reach the refinement." "Liu Zhang didn't want those small countries to ambush Niya halfway, and then rob all his weapons.
Niya saluted Liu Zhang with both hands, and immediately rode her horse and led towards the west. Zhang Song, who was beside Liu Zhang, said: "The Western Regions are even more bitter and cold than the Western Liang, and the people there are ignorant, so we can send troops to occupy it directly, and there is no need to rely on the hands of others." Zhang Song felt that there was no need to pay anything at all, they should be so forceful that they should do the royal way.
The so-called royal way is to destroy the enemy in an upright manner, and there is no need to use any conspiracy and trickery. Liu Zhang is going to reach the top in the future, so naturally there is no need to use these means. It's not that it can't, but it damages Liu Zhang's reputation. Now it's not like before, it's still about face.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "The royal way is internal, but externally it is war. As long as it is war, there is no despicable means, and there is a saying in the art of war that is true no matter what era. I will always agree that the so-called royal way is just a declaration of the victor. "Liu Zhang only believes in the result, and it doesn't matter what the process is.
Zhang Song smiled bitterly: "The lord's understanding of the art of war has subverted us, but we are not as good as waiting." "Maybe Liu Zhang is not as good as them in doing things, and it can even be said that he is inferior to many things, but the way of leading soldiers one after another is very distinctive.
"Rest for a few days and wait for the snow to melt, it's time for us to go, Liu Bei in Youzhou can't hold it, and when we hit there, Cao Cao will feel that he is very fun." Liu Zhang has been waiting for Cao Cao to finally besiege Yanzhou, and it is a little difficult to ambush on all sides, but it is quite simple to besiege the city on all sides.
This year's cold winter seems to be extraordinarily long, even if it is more than February, but the weather is still unusually cold. In previous years, Chang'an already had the breath of spring, but now it is still a feeling of ice and snow. Liu Zhang hid in the pavilion to roast the fire, and they were all busy at the beginning of the year, but Liu Zhang, as the main father, was the most leisurely.
At the end of March, when the snow finally melted, Liu Zhang also gathered everyone to prepare for a meeting to fight again. At this time, Wang Si also finished summarizing the news from all over the country and waited for the report: "The lord and Cao Cao's henchman Guo Jia is seriously ill this year, and I am afraid it will not be long before he ......" Wang Si was very happy when he said the news, and it was definitely a good thing for them that the important strategists around Cao Cao went.
Liu Zhang recalled that at this time, it should be Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan. Maybe Guo Jia lasted an extra year because he didn't go, but it seems that he is still going to die? Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and said: "When you go to Xuchang and release the news, you will say that there is a miracle doctor in Chang'an who can treat all diseases. It's best to let these news reach Cao Cao's ears, I want to see if Cao Cao will let Guo Jia come to me for treatment? Although Guo Jia's private life is a little erosive, this era is about this, which makes Liu Zhang have nothing to say.
Wang Si nodded and said: "In addition, I got very bad news, Cao Cao and Liu Bei invited the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan and Xianbei to attack Jizhou at the same time. We don't know exactly what conditions they promised, but the news from the Southern Xiongnu that Yu Fuluo Huyan seems to have been excluded because he did not approve of it, and if the lord wants to move troops this year, I am afraid that he will face a blow from all sides. Wang Si was very calm when he said the news, and there was no sense of fear, and these enemies did not seem to him to be afraid. Liu Zhang has been fighting for many years, and he has never had a big defeat, which is nothing.
Everyone was a little surprised after hearing this, Wen Chen seemed to be very calm, and the generals were very excited? The more enemies there are, the more prisoners they take, and the more they will be able to fight. Over the years, they seem to be very comfortable with Liu Zhang, and they don't seem to be afraid of fighting.
"The lord Nan Xiongnu is capricious, and he robbed us a few years ago, and this time he must completely deal with them." Zhang Song remembered very well that when Liu Zhang had not yet occupied Chang'an, those Southern Xiongnu went south to rob. It's just that he was unfortunately bumped into by Liu Zhang, and then ......
"The Southern Xiongnu seem to have a heart of disobedience, and the lord sent troops to completely exterminate them this time. The news from Qiu Ye said that Yu Fu Luo Huyan privately recruited troops and sent false news to us. Wang Si said that he was still a little angry here, the Huns were the Huns, even if they were sinicized, they still had their own careful thoughts.
Liu Zhang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "In other words, after this year, it seems that the entire northern forces are going to come to fight me?" Seeing Wang Si and the others nodding, Liu Zhang said again: "This is the rhythm of going to heaven, are you rushing to death one by one?" "Liu Zhang seems to go on frequent expeditions, but unless the opponent is tough on him, there are really not many killings in terms of killing. But now it seems that because of his softness, do others feel that they are easy to bully?
"What is the lord going to do?" In fact, this situation is not difficult at all, how many troops can the Huns send? How many troops can Xianbei produce? How many troops can Wuhuan send? Don't look at so many forces, it's really not enough for Liu Zhang to fight. Iron fences made of steel will turn their cavalry into fools this time. This thing is connected by screws, and once it is inserted into the ground, it is not something that a cavalry can knock through. Then the mortars in the back can be perfectly played, and Liu Zhang's cavalry can also be encircled and suppressed under cover.
Liu Zhang touched his chin and said: "Of course, we will continue to attack Youzhou, as for the Southern Xiongnu, just let Gongyi take Meng Qi and Youwei to go." In addition, let Gongming rush over from Jingzhou, and let Zhongye cooperate with Gongtai from Shangcai to occupy Xuzhou. "Cao Cao doesn't think about attacking himself, Liu Bei can only wait for death in Youzhou.
"The lord's army line must not be delayed for too long, and the forces of Wuhuan and Xianbei are still quite sufficient. If the line is too long, I am afraid that the main guild will fall into a situation of encirclement and suppression. Liu Ye said out loud, even winning battles is a person who has an arrogant heart, and as a courtier, he should remind him well.
Liu Zhang yawned and said, "I will let Wuhuan remember, if you have some power, you will come out and die, and their high-level leaders can die." I will never be soft on this kind of alien race that has invaded. "For Xianbei and Xiongnu Liu Zhang, he will not be soft, these races are definitely not worthy of sinicization, they must be killed to exterminate their own culture. Even if the Northern Huns fled, Liu Zhang would not give up the pursuit and kill the breeding White Huns.
"The sailors of the lord Jingzhou can be mobilized, Xingba and Degui have been training for many years, and the lord can already start the war in an all-round way." Zhang Song knew Liu Zhang's troops, so he felt that the time had come.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "Degui is not used to deal with the alien races in the north, his troops still need to be trained, and the order to let him train well and wait for the ship to be built." "Cai Mao's troops Liu Zhang doesn't want to move, it's a special type of troops prepared to deal with the Yue monkeys, and it's a bit wasteful to use them in the north.
The situation seems to have become interesting, and the whole North is even more chaotic than it was a few years ago. Now it seems that they all want to touch Liu Zhang and get some benefits from Liu Zhang? This time, he really relied on the large number of people to bully people, of course, Liu Zhang did not want to mobilize all his troops, and the situation did not end in such a difficult situation.
"When will the lord send troops?" The weather is clear, and the troops can already be dispatched, and this year you can sacrifice once and ask for a success. Liu Zhang never paid attention to this before, but this year is different. Liu Bei and Cao Cao were defeated last year, and this year is the time for the righteous army to destroy the enemy.
"In April, the troops were officially dispatched, and the team carrying the grain was ready to go. There is Guangxiao in Yecheng, and we will arrive later. As Liu Zhang finalized the situation of this year's war, Chang'an began to get busy again. Preparations for the delivery of grain and grass have all started.
At the same time, Liu Zhang also gave Ma Teng an order and set out towards the Western Regions. As long as there are disobedient forces, all will be exterminated. Proceed towards the Western Regions without losing his own troops, and at the same time let Wang Ti pursue his own policies in the Western Regions. It is impossible for me to wait until a few years later to transform the Western Regions step by step, I don't have so much ink time, and the time when the real army is set aside is the moment of destroying the country. The desertification situation in the Western Regions can no longer be postponed by Liu Zhang.
Although the entire north seemed to be uniting to deal with Liu Zhang, the situation was not so bad for Liu Zhang's side. The general trend is no longer something they can resist, no matter who Liu Bei and Cao Cao find as helpers, it is impossible to stop Liu Zhang's pace. Although it will delay the time of its own demise, it will eventually be crushed by Liu Zhang little by little. The countdown has begun before this crushing has begun, and it depends on how long Cao Cao and their men can hold out, and how long Cao Cao's subordinates can support it.
