Chapter 274: Separate Preparations
"Old Eleven, it seems that you have really grown up, not to mention that you know so much about the situation in the world, and let Da Wu sincerely belong to you......... Hehe, I think this is the eldest princess of Da Wu, sister Shangxiang! ”
Liu Che looked at Sun Shangxiang behind Liu Yuetian and said with a smile.
Liu Che understands very well that he himself married Liu Bei's daughter, and in his eyes, this is a political marriage, which can consolidate his position.
"Liu Bei, the king of Shu, is also ambitious, but he is also worried, like the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei, he will never be the first to jump out against us."
Liu Che replied.
"So the problem now is Daqin and Zangzhou, they are the focus in the short term, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid these two sides can't sit still now, and even join forces to launch an attack, if we can survive, then the other forces will not be chaotic, if we can't survive, it will affect the whole body, this big war is very important."
Liu Yuetian's political attributes are now more than eighty, and although the world is chaotic, it is already very clear in his eyes.
"These two parties want to unite to attack Tianshui and Hongnong County?"
When Liu Che heard this, he immediately became worried.
"This is my analysis, because now that you are the crown prince of the tenth brother, the situation in the Great Zhou will change, and with the passage of time, our situation will continue to improve, if the internal is really consolidated, it will be more difficult for them to realize their ambitions, if I were them, they would launch a decisive battle in the shortest possible time, as long as they occupy the two counties of Tianshui and Hongnong, there will be no barrier in the west of our Chang'an, they will be able to take advantage of the situation, and the other princes will immediately hear the wind and move, and the world will be chaotic."
"Okay, okay, Old Eleven, you're very right, it seems that you are the most critical place, and the general trend of the world depends on you Tianshui and Hongnong, why don't I send General Huo there to assist you."
Liu Che also felt the crisis of the situation.
"No, you are not stable here, Hanzhong is also a key place, you must take care of it, in addition, although Datang and Dawei will not act rashly in a short period of time, but these two parties are by no means good, presumably after knowing the news, they also want to ask for some benefits, but the most important thing is that now Chang'an is in ruins, what you have to do is to first let the people's emotions calm down, so that they can at least eat, wear shirts, if these two points are not done well, once the displaced people are around, we will be in chaos first, foreign enemies such as skin ringworm mustard disease, as long as you are willing to cure, It can still be cured, but the internal organs are like diseases, and once they rot, there is no cure. ”
"Hmm...... Okay, Old Eleven, I will give you whatever you want, in short, the two counties of Tianshui and Hongnong must be guarded for me, and I will never lose it. ”
Of course, Liu Yuetian needs some things, such as the coal mine, he has now begun to prepare for some people to mine, of course, he can't stay here in person, the main person in charge is Shen Fu, Shen Fu, as Liu Yuetian's cronies, now has a great reputation in Chang'an, has opened more than a dozen commercial houses, and has a team of nearly 1,000 people, and Liu Yuetian is still very relieved to hand over the coal mine to him.
In addition, Liu Yuetian also transferred 10,000 soldiers from the original Tianshui army, and the total number of soldiers in Tianshui and Hongnong counties is still too small, adding up to 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the recruits cannot form combat strength in a short period of time, so they can only rely on veterans.
After all these preparations were completed, Liu Yuetian had been in Chang'an for more than a month.
Liu Yuetian returned to Tianshui with 40,000 troops and horses, at this time it had entered the winter, the people had worked for a year, and now they were finally stable, but these soldiers began to train again, waiting for the arrival of the next war.
Liu Che is now not only the crown prince, but also governs the country as a supervisor, and he is responsible for everything in the court, which is already the right of the emperor, but he lacks the title of emperor.
After Liu Che took power, he immediately sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty according to Liu Yuetian's plan, and named Cao Cao, the king of Wei, as the Taifu, and Li Yuan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, as the Taibao.
This is also bribing the two of them to make the other party feel Liu Che's respect for them.
Sun Quan, the king of Wu, did not give any honor, Liu Yuetian also explained to Sun Quan in private that they were all a family anyway, and Sun Quan didn't care at all, and took the initiative to send a messenger to Chang'an to meet Liu Che, took the initiative to show goodwill, and told the other party openly and honestly that King Wu had no ambitions, but only wanted to enjoy himself in the land of Wu Yue, which also made Liu Che feel at ease.
Although Dawei and Datang accepted Liu Che's gift, but the attitude was a little ambiguous, Cao Cao said that he was old and old, only ate a bowl of gruel a day, and was afraid that his life would not be long, and Tang King Li Yuan said that he was not in good health and had no intention of political affairs, and everything was handed over to Li Shimin to manage.
In short, the two did not make it clear whether they supported Da Zhou.
The attitude of these two people was also expected by Liu Yuetian, they were nothing more than responding to all changes with no change, perhaps they were expecting Daqin to make a move in their hearts.
Of course, Liu Yuetian couldn't let them wait for the opportunity, and after returning to Tianshui, he immediately made five thousand crossbows and sent them to Henan County, which was equivalent to tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which gave Zu Ti Taishou confidence.
Now Liu Yuetian is sitting in Tianshui County, after solving the worries of Chang'an, the situation faced by Tianshui County is much better, the main enemy is only Dazang, as for Daqin, if the other party sends troops, it will inevitably be discovered by Fu Jian, who guards Hongnong County, as for Dazang, their combat power is too poor, there is no need to worry at all, with Tianshui's current strength is enough to fight against the opponent's 200,000 army, unless the other party does its best to send troops, of course, this possibility is too small and too small, that is to say, Tibet has no threat to Liu Yuetian for the time being.
Then only Daqin is left, the fierceness of the Qin soldiers is recognized by the world, and the ambition of the King of Qin is also known to the world, they will definitely not let the quiet development of the Great Zhou continue, once the Great Qin really mobilizes the army, the first thing to bear the brunt should be Hongnong County.
At the beginning, Wang Jian 5,000 cavalry attacked Tianshui, it was just taking advantage of the opportunity to sell horses to want to sneak attack, and the small Jincheng County could only accommodate 5,000 cavalry, and no matter how much it was, it would be impossible to bear it, and if you want to fight on a large scale, you must rely on a big city.
Daqin is vast and sparsely populated, there are mainly five huge cities, the capital of the country is Luntai, there are millions of people living in it, and there are Shihe City, Jiuquan, Xihai, Ninghai, each city has nearly a million people living in it, not because these cities are prosperous, but the other places in the Western Regions are not suitable for human habitation, and most of the people live in these cities.
However, these five largest cities are also 1,500 miles away from the West Sea, the closest city to the Central Plains, and they are still too far away to reach them quickly in the event of a war, so they can only be used as rear bases, and cannot become the frontier of war.
Jincheng County is one of the few cities close to the Central Plains, and although it is very small, with a permanent population of only a few tens of thousands, it is still much better than nothing.
In addition to this Jincheng County, there is also a place named Shangjun, more than 400 miles away from Hongnong County, this county is larger than Jincheng County, the population is about 70,000 or 80,000, it is an important transit city connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions, if the King of Qin wants to attack the Central Plains, it is necessary to take Hongnong first, if you want to capture Hongnong, the army will definitely be sent to Shangjun, Liu Yuetian has sent spies into Shangjun, always pay attention to the other party's movements.
