Four hundred and sixty-three on the way back
All the territory that Liu Zhang currently occupies, basically all the armed forces, have been beaten by Liu Zhang. Everything is being prepared for the unification of the North, the South has laid out the future, and the North has laid the future. All this is for the preparation of the future, these can be developed slowly, waiting for Liu Zhang to solve the war in the north.
There is still more than a month before Liu Zhang returns to Chang'an, and at this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have completely joined the alliance, just to abandon their previous suspicions and defeat Liu Zhang completely. At this time, only Liu Bei could be Cao Cao's ally. At the same time, Liu Bei also met Emperor Xian, but unfortunately he has come to this point, and Liu Bei has also lost a lot of thoughts.
"Ming Gongxue has melted, when will Liu Zhang attack us?" Liu Bei looked at the heavy snow that had melted outside the pavilion, and the two of them sat together drinking and chatting.
Cao Cao's wine glass was raised, but after hearing Liu Bei's words, he put it down directly: "Xuande, it will take a while for Liu Zhang to come back, but it will be soon." Liu Zhang will definitely be angry when he comes back, but it depends on who he will attack at that time. But thinking about Liu Zhang's temperament, he won't attack so quickly. He'll be waiting for a long time, so we'll have plenty of time to prepare. Cao Cao guessed based on Liu Zhang's performance that the person was either unexpected, or he would wait a long time to appear.
Liu Bei was silent for a while and said, "Then Ming Gong has a countermeasure?" I'm afraid Liu Zhang will come directly to attack Xuchang, right? "Xuchang is very close to Liu Zhang, and the attack is also Cao Cao's here.
Cao Cao put down his wine glass and said, "I'm afraid that Liu Zhang will attack Bingzhou, and he will station troops here in Yun County." Later, I led the army to attack Bingzhou, and at that time I could only draw out a part of my troops to rescue Xuande, and I basically didn't have to think about attacking Liu Zhang. "The two old men are here discussing how to face Liu Zhang......
Liu Bei said after a while: "Liu Zhang has not been ambushed since he sent out the army. Bei has also ambushed Liu Zhang many times, but Liu Zhang has never been ambushed. Even if we knew he was coming to attack us, we couldn't do it. "Liu Bei likes all kinds of ambush methods, which were very useful in the past. But it seems that it is useless to go to Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu have all been ambushed by him.
Cao Cao also nodded and said, "That's right, I also found out about this." However, there is no way to ambush in secret, if he attacks you, I will lead the tiger camp to assist from the flank, and if Liu Zhang attacks Xuchang, Xuande naturally needs to send a general to come. The two of them could only restrict Liu Zhang in this way, and at the same time, Liu Zhang's businessmen no longer came to the territory of the two people. Everyone in the world seems to understand that the next thing seems to be Liu Zhang's conquest of the north.
Liu Bei said: "Bingzhou has prepared a lot of horses to prevent cavalry, and our soldiers have deployed a large number of bows and crossbows to resist Liu Zhang's cavalry. As long as Liu Zhang's cavalry can be blocked, the infantry scatters to attack Liu Zhang's infantry. As long as they can be hand-to-hand, those powerful weapons are useless. As for Ming Gong's weapon, Mr. Xu Shu had already written to ask the talent of Jingzhou after reading it, and the man said that it was because the quality of the steel was not enough. As for the others, he couldn't do anything, those things Liu Zhang kept too strictly. "Zhuge Liang's powerlessness is also reasonable.
Cao Cao nodded, and the two of them drank for a while: "If Liu Zhang wins in the end, what should Xuan Dejun do?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei in front of him, he really didn't expect that it would be this person who drank with him in the end, and he didn't expect that it would be Liu Zhang who rose in the end.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao in front of him, he really couldn't imagine that Cao Cao, who had been evaluated by the world for a lifetime, actually had this kind of question: "What if you are with your brothers once, our three brothers were just weaving mats and selling shoes back then, so can Liu Zhang still kill us?" "How can I say that Liu Bei also thinks that Liu Zhang will not kill them, after all, Liu Bei is surnamed Liu, and he is even more benevolent and righteous all over the world.
Cao Cao shook his glass: "I'm afraid that all the officials in the court and the central government will be dismissed by Liu Zhang." Liu Zhang has been operating in Chang'an for so long, and his officials have long been familiar with all government affairs. So it seems that it is better to return the emperor to Liu Zhang? ”
Liu Bei was suddenly shocked: "The Duke of Ming must not, even if the hundred officials in the court are useless, but the Son of Heaven cannot return it to Liu Zhang." If that's the case, I'm afraid that we will really become a rebel in the mouth of the people of the world, then Liu Zhang has a newspaper as long as he casually smears it, how do the people of the world think of us? "The Son of Heaven must not return, even if he is defeated in the end.
Cao Cao suddenly laughed: "It seems that he is drunk and tired." Saying that, Cao Cao got up and went to rest, but Liu Bei still didn't tell the truth. So is Liu Zhang really not going to kill? I'm afraid that Liu Zhang killed someone, and he Liu Bei didn't know about it at all.
Looking at the joyful appearance of the civil and military officials in the court, Cao Cao sneered again and again. Do they really think that after Liu Zhang's victory, they can still go back to become officials? Over the years, his spies have long found out about Liu Zhang's various reforms in Chang'an. I'm afraid that these officials will add to the chaos, and according to Liu Zhang's unassailable character, I'm afraid that these people will be thrown directly into that corner by Liu Zhang. Cao Cao didn't bother to deal with them, but Yu Lu had already cut them off. A bunch of waste who just eat and don't do anything, they don't know what the use is when they come.
Of course, there is also Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and in the current situation, because of the strength of Liu Zhang's Han family, he has a stronger appeal. Cao Cao could know that there was a lot of discussion among the officials in the court, and they seemed to be watching him Cao Cao's jokes. What is the result of his Cao Cao in the end, with the relationship of his daughter, he Cao Cao is estimated to be under house arrest for a lifetime, but those people are probably much worse than him Cao Cao.
After Liu Bei went back, he saw Xu Shu: "Sir, now we are allied with Cao Cao, but today's conversation with Cao Cao is even less confident in defending against Liu Zhang." Liu Bei also smiled bitterly, originally thought that it should be a great increase in strength, but now it seems that it should be a group for warmth, right?
Xu Shu also smiled bitterly: "The lord must have seen that Liu Zhang is getting stronger and stronger." How many people in Cao Cao could see the current situation, but no one had a way. Back then, Cao Cao used his daughter and gold and silver to summon Liu Zhang's alliance, but now he can't satisfy that person's appetite. ”
Looking at Liu Bei, who was silent, Xu Shu said again: "Now we only hope that Liu Zhang will be arrogant because of his size, otherwise we can only do our best." Sun Quan in the south, under Liu Zhang's attack, is said to have not held out even a day. The Sun clan was as fierce as a tiger, but they didn't hold on for even a day. It can be seen that Liu Zhang ......"
"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, maybe Liu Zhang is the one who is in the middle of the Han family?" Liu Bei was also a little disappointed, so Liu Zhang's impression of Liu Bei had always been stupid, but why can that kind of person succeed?
The situation in the world seems to be turbulent, but in fact it is already clear. Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly resisted Liu Zhang, and it seemed that the world would still belong to Liu. Liu Zhang's name also began to spread in various places, and the lustful greed for money that was circulated before has also become unruly, and the greed for money has also become a means of governance. In short, there is no need for Liu Zhang to write it himself, as long as he becomes the victor, there are more people in the world who whitewash him......
"Xiliang is calm this time, and Shoucheng still needs to be cautious. Although we have no foreign enemies, we cannot relax in the slightest. This is your home, and you have to make a living. Trees must be planted on the edge of the desert, otherwise in a few decades it will not be your home but a desert. This kind of news is also put in the Western Regions, and I am afraid that it will be six or seven years before I come again, and Shoucheng still needs to take care of his body. "The time is approaching, and it is time for Liu Zhang to leave Xiliang. pulled Ma Teng Liu Zhang repeatedly warned him that although this person was a little short-tempered, he was a good man after all.
Ma Tengqiang couldn't hold back the red circles in his eyes: "The lord put it down, Ma Teng remembered it." The lord is going to the north to fight, but be careful. Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not ordinary people, but Ma Teng can't go to help in the war. However, these boys have been trained for so long one by one, and they are already good generals, so it is good for the lord to bring them. He pointed to Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai on the side.
Liu Zhang glanced at Ma Tie and the others, these children who were about the same age as him had also grown up. But they all look bigger than themselves, but they are indeed much stronger. is now a strong man, and he can already go into battle to kill the enemy with Liu Zhang.
"Yes, you follow your eldest brother for the time being, and wait until Chang'an makes specific arrangements. There will be many wars in the future, and there will be many opportunities to make meritorious contributions. Liu Zhang encouraged the galloping of horses, the snow in the north melted too slowly. Fortunately, the drought problem has been alleviated, and the snow is heavy, and next year will definitely be a good year.
Although the road was muddy, Liu Zhang's mood was the best. I can finally go home, and there is no battle report during this time, and I don't know what the specific situation is in the north. Cao Cao and the others don't know how to fight, but it shouldn't be a big problem, right? The matter of Xiliang is over, and Liu Zhang is a little worried about the north. Those two people shouldn't be determined to kill themselves, right?
Staggering and pulling the messy materials transported from Xiliang, Xiliang is not rich, but Xiliang has a lot of materials. Many things produced in the nearby Western Regions have greatly enriched the recipes of the Han people, and it is still necessary to preserve them in such a small country. In Liu Zhang's view, the world should not be named after countries, but after various ingredients......
It's a bit slow when you go back, but the further you go south, the more spring will be. This can be regarded as an indirect spring, passing by Jincheng Liu Zhang explained a few words, and asked Wang Ti to go for a walk to the countries of the Western Regions, and let them plant more melons and fruits and other things. At that time, merchants could bring back a lot of things without going too far, which of course also had a good effect on Liu Zhang's rule in the future. On the one hand, there was the invasion of merchants, and finally there was the invasion of Liu Zhang with a large army.
