Chapter 174: Advice and Doubt

At this moment, in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Empire, Liu Wei was entertaining a young guest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the emperor of an empire, Liu Wei has become more and more like a son of heaven. Last year, he married Cao Cao's daughter Cao Xian and Zhang Heng's daughter Zhang Yulan, which can be regarded as strengthening the relationship between Cao and Zhang and consolidating his rule.

The fact that such a young and promising monarch can entertain a guest alone shows that he values this person. At least, looking at the Han Empire, the existence that can get this treatment is only a palm.

"Feng Xiaocai, now I'm afraid that even if the one in the south is dissatisfied, he can only compromise!" Liu Wei laughed and said after a toast with the person in front of him.

"Whereever, if it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty spent several years building such a vast intelligence network. Otherwise, with Guo's talent, there is no way to be so perfect! Guo Jia also took advantage of the trend to flatter.

Although it is flattery, I really admire Liu Wei's courage in my heart. At that time, Liu Wei had just arrived in Hanzhong, and with great courage, he spent more than half of the funds to maintain and further develop the Han Soul organization, until now the intelligence system is very large, and the intelligence transmission ability is also very fast, which cannot be said to follow up in real time, but it can also achieve the fastest intelligence collection and analysis in this era.

A special intelligence department has been set up, and more than 500 special intelligence personnel have screened out useful information from a large pile of messy intelligence, and sorted it out for backup as soon as possible. Through another 100 elite intelligence officers, this information was summarized and handed over to Guo Jia, a member of the general staff, for analysis, and finally the beginning and end of this operation were found.

In other words, even if Li Yu does not send troops to Sun Jian, they will send troops themselves. Even after paying a certain price, he was still able to force Sun Jian to surrender. In the original plan, they even wanted to swallow Jiaozhou and the four southern counties, which now seems to be impossible, but with the help of Li Yu's momentum, they forced Sun Jian to surrender and annex all his troops, which is not bad.

Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and even Sun Yi have good command talents, and even Sun Quan is brave and strategic; Han Dang, Sun Jing and Cheng Pu are all generals, not to mention the talent of commanding troops; After the tens of thousands of troops were streamlined, there were finally 30,000 troops left to be incorporated into the imperial army; In addition, he has obtained a lot of scientific research materials on war weapons, although they are backward cold weapons, but the manufacturing cost is low, and it is easy to maintain and repair, and the power is considerable, Liu Wei is still very satisfied.

He even intends to devote a portion of his scientific research funds to this point and to the study of this weapon of war as a powerful supplement to firearms. At present, the scientific research department has used light artillery and shield vehicles to develop a movable weapon of war, and if Li Yu saw it, he would almost think it was a tank.

Of course, not strictly speaking, at most it can only be regarded as a gun carriage. However, the wide iron shield as a cover also brought a lot of defense to the artillery, so that the artillery could also go to the front line of the battlefield for cover shooting.

What really pleased him was that in the midst of this incident, the Imperial Army moved quickly and built fortifications on the front line, forcing the Huaxia Republic not to dare to venture lightly. Later, with the biological weapons invested by the Han Republic, the status quo was completely defined, and the empire almost did not consume any troops, and took back Nanjun and Wuling County.

In fact, the empire did not have any extra troops to invest in the south, after all, Hedong County and Hanoi County also needed them to invest a certain amount of troops, not to mention the Hangu Pass. The main focus of the Han Empire was the construction of the Western Regions and the exploration of the West, Cao Hong had already arrived in India, Cao Cao had arrived in the country of rest, and the profits brought by the Silk Road were further increased.

A large amount of foreign capital is the foundation for the Han Empire to become strong. Without this part of the supplement, the Han Empire would not have been able to support a powerful intelligence system, let alone scientific research and military investment.

"If it is really three points today, the territory of the Republic of China is the largest. According to Fengxiao's view, can the Han Dynasty dominate China? Liu Wei also took the opportunity to ask.

"Your Majesty is the lord of Zhongxing, and it is not a problem to unify China. Moreover, although the Huaxia Republic is powerful, its expansion is too fast, and it is inevitable that the foundation will be unstable. If it weren't for the previous expansion, the Han Soul would not have been able to quickly fill it, making this battle so smoothly! Guo Jia arched his hand and said.

In fact, what Guo Jia said was true, the territory of the Chinese Republic expanded too quickly last time, so that the control of the local area became weak. The members of the Han Soul Organization took advantage of the opportunity to take the civil service examination and enter the government, and many even entered the local people's congress. After more than two years, many of them have even become local county magistrates, secretly sheltering members of the Han Soul Organization to facilitate the transmission of intelligence.

Without their help, it would not have been so simple to bring out intelligence in the Huaxia Republic, which has achieved good results in the field of counter-espionage. Not to mention relying on this information to play a perfect chess game.

The only unexpected thing was the incompetence of the Han Republic, which was easily driven to Hebei. According to the original inference, many people originally thought that the Han Republic would lose Yuzhou at most, but the result was that the Central Plains were compensated. Together, it also caused the Han Empire to lose Jiangxia County, Nanyang County and the entire Nanjun except Xiangyang.

But if it weren't for that, Guo Jia wouldn't be able to take the position quickly, after all, he made it clear last time that he should be careful of this possibility. Of course, this makes his position somewhat like stepping on other people's heads, but the capable live in it, and Liu Wei is not disgusted.

"Then with the meaning of filial piety, what should I do?" Liu Wei finally said his true words, he was still young and vigorous, and naturally wanted to recover the country quickly, after all, this should have belonged to the Han Dynasty.

In the past, Liu Hong allowed the establishment of the autonomous region, and even the establishment of the Huaxia Republic, in essence, because he felt that the other party was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and it was impossible to make any improvements.

Who knew that the other party was developing so rapidly, a large number of technologies continued to appear, and quickly occupied the Central Plains, which had become a real henchman. In comparison, Liu Xie's side is not worried.

"Third class! With the arrival of first-class intelligence, the concept of refining the body has now been proposed in the south, and a number of monsters have also been developed in the east. The end of the exploration of the second-class general to the west will bring more benefits to our country, without this, there is a lack of sufficient war potential; The opening of the passage in the south of the third class! Guo Jia said slowly.

As for the concept of refining the body, Liu Wei has also heard of it somewhat through the intelligence system. It is said that it is a concept proposed by the Taiping sect, which divides martial arts into the concepts of external energy, dark energy and chemical energy. The monsters created by Liu Xie have something to do with this.

Judging from the intelligence transmitted from the front line, the combat effectiveness of these monsters is indeed very terrifying, and ordinary grenades have to attack intensively to cause damage, and only heavy artillery can kill the opponent in the first place. In this regard, the so-called heavy artillery of the Han Empire is afraid that it will not be able to kill the other party in the first place.

It was the appearance of those monsters that made Liu Wei also interested in the art of body refining. Even if you don't specialize in research, you must also specialize in how to restrain them, otherwise you will fall into passivity in future wars.

The second question is actually the most important one, not to mention that Cao Cao has moved to the country of rest, and has not brought the majesty of the Han out of it. It's not that there is no intention to come over to fight the autumn wind along the way, but they were all expelled or suppressed by him by force.

Cao Cao's side is okay, Cao Hong's side has reached southern India after exploration, and even has reached Bangladesh in later times. Here, on the southeastern border, he found some ethnic groups similar to those of the barbarians in the south. This discovery was quickly reported. So there was an idea within the Han Empire, that is, starting from the south and central region to the west, would it be possible to reach the Indian region? If so, then it is entirely possible to develop a southern Silk Road!

The most benefited is the Bashu region. Originally, the Shu Road was difficult, and it was not easy to transport goods from the Bashu region to the Hanzhong region, let alone further transport them to the Western Regions. If you can bypass the Silk Road in the north and start directly from the south, the benefits are obvious. The key is that the two Silk Roads can also bring more benefits to the Han Empire.

The strong foreign trade economy gave the Han Empire a foundation for rejuvenation, and it was also a source of confidence for Liu Wei. The other two issues can even be put aside, and the comprehensive development of the Southern Silk Road is the key.

Now Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei are making every effort to negotiate with Nanzhongman, trying to sinicize the local mountain people. Strictly speaking, Nanzhong Barbarian has also accepted Sinicization, but it is only in recent decades that he has returned to the barbarian mode of life. Let them accept sinicization again and become the subjects of the Han Empire, which requires long-term training and propaganda.

As for the problem of miasma and parasites, similar prescriptions have now spread all over the world, making these existences, which were originally natural barriers in the South and Central Barbarians, completely lose their effectiveness. Armies heading south would sprinkle quicklime directly into a swamp or backwater pool to eliminate the miasma.

At the same time, a highway is also being built at a rapid pace, and it just happened to take the opportunity to gather a lot of Nanzhongman and let them help build the road. While helping them solve their life and work problems, it is of great significance for the long-term control of the southern and central regions in the future, and even the direct development of a southern Silk Road. even built a road directly from Nanzhong to the Jiaozhou area, and then launched a surprise attack.

This is the so-called 'third class', although Liu Wei is unwilling, he must admit that this is the best plan at present.

The banquet came to an end, and after some greetings, Guo Jia naturally left. It's just that Liu Wei didn't leave the table immediately, but asked towards the void: "From your point of view, how is Guo Jia?" ”

Zhang Rang walked out slowly, in the past, the Han Soul was controlled by him, and now it is actually him who controls the behemoth of the Han Soul. Compared with seven years ago, Zhang Rang's temples are gray at this moment, but he is still in spirit.

"Guo Jia is a genius, but he is not completely towards His Majesty." Zhang Rang commented that from the information collected, he judged that Guo Jia's plan actually left a lot of leeway.

According to the intelligence, before Guo Jia came out, he had written many times with Xi Zhicai, but instead of going to the Huaxia Republic, he came to the Han Republic. To say that there is no suspicion at all is absolutely false.

It's just that his behavior is decent at the moment, but he can't find anything wrong.

"Keep watching! As long as the Huaxia Republic is destroyed, he should know how to choose! Liu Wei nodded, signaling that there was no need for further investigation, or even hands.

"Whoa!" Zhang Rang gladly accepted the order, and then retreated.

"I just hope that you don't want to be in the big man, just have your heart on his side!" When Liu Wei was the only one in the main hall, he muttered in an inaudible voice. (To be continued.) )
