Chapter 224: The Quartet Comes to the Dynasty
A month is not long to say, and short is not short. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in this month, Sun Shen, who received advice from Shanren Zhanyuan, promoted the children of the Kongshi clan and sent his cronies to integrate the army and firmly control 20,000 people.
It was also the 20,000 troops of Lu Xing, who were camped and guarded outside Jianchang City, and entered the city of Jianchang, which was famous for a while.
At Xiegu Pass, the Han army that was preparing to attack learned that Liu Chen had the prince Liu Hao, and immediately joined forces, and the army advanced to the Qingni Pass, preparing to take this place as a congratulatory gift.
In Xinye, Lu Xun and Deng Ai moved more quickly.
Deng Ai sent 600 remnants into Xinye City through the bitter meat plan, although they were not reused, and were even guarded, but when Deng Ai's next plan was implemented, the sound that made the hearts of the soldiers of the Jin army tremble in the entire city decided the fall of Xinye.
It turned out that Deng Ai put those Jin troops just to confuse the sight of the Jin army, and he still strictly guarded against death and sleepiness during the day, but at night he sent the bloody blade soldiers of Shanshui to sneak under the city, dug a big pit under it, and put hundreds of catties of explosives made of black powder into it.
Before dawn came, Xinye suddenly thundered all day long, roaring endlessly, throwing the Jin army on the city wall dozens of meters into the air, and when it landed under the city, only a pool of flesh and blood could be seen.
Countless simple Jin soldiers knelt down to worship the heavens and the earth, begging the gods for forgiveness.
But Deng Ai was the best of the elite army, pointing to the bombed city gate in Xinye and shouting:
"The birth of the prince, the thunder of the heavens punished the Jin, this is a sign of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, soldiers, for the Han, for the prince, for Your Majesty, kill!"
When the dawn came, Deng Ai led the Han army, stepped on the starlight, and entered the big city as a victor.
They were greeted by countless simple Jin soldiers who knelt down and prayed and trembled.
Under such circumstances, the sky over the Jin Kingdom was gloomy, and Sima Yan was also gloomy and cold, which made the servants who were close to him nervous.
The world is chaotic and chaotic, but it has not affected the bustle and prosperity of Shudu, the caravan is like a stream, the wine shop is like a star, and the whole city is shrouded in joy and peace.
At the same time, the guards of the wealthy families from all over the country who received the invitation sent their cronies to congratulate them, and the fastest among them was the loyal second brother of the country.
"The special envoy of the country has arrived!"
Hearing this voice, many dignitaries and nobles looked at it curiously, and this sight really shocked them.
After dozens of people, there were no less than fifty elephants in the distance, and next to the elephants, there were no less than ten giants about three feet tall, like monsters.
Different from what others think, these people, including those who catch elephants, are wearing the latest clothes in Shuzhong, which are colorful and festive.
When Liu Chen heard the news, he hurriedly sent Zhuge Jing out to greet him.
The leader of the mission was the white-headed old man, the big leader who had been quite friendly to Liu Chen at the beginning.
"Ten pots of exquisite jade beads, fifty pairs of jade bibs, fifty adult tame elephants, twelve giants, and ...... spices"
I have to say that this time the country is really bleeding, and being able to take out so much money shows that they also want to continue to climb the tree of Dahan.
Liu Chen met with the chief in the palace and accepted the letter of the king of the state and the goodwill of the country.
Soon, a loud voice came:
"Panyue country, the delegation of the country of Pyu came to congratulate!"
As soon as this voice came out, many Hanchen boiled, and the three southwestern kingdoms came to the court, which was already a rare event for the ages, which shows that the rise of the new Han Dynasty has made these barbarians afraid.
Seeing the slightly embarrassed face of the big leader, Liu Chen smiled in his heart, this Yue Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom will really pick time, I am afraid that it is just for the situation in the west.
You must know that when you got the elite weapons of the Han Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom and the Bi Kingdom were caught off guard, and the seized money and materials were not counted, and the threat for many years was solved.
Not only that, under Liu Chen's deliberate development, the country was very welcoming to the cheap grain from Shu Han, and suddenly countless rare things came to Shudu, and progressive weapons such as crossbows and bows also revolutionized the armed forces of the country by several levels.
The loan of 80,000 mercenaries did not weaken the country, but the money sent back by those people improved the food of many people and allowed some dying people to live.
And the country that has received countless money and food supplies has formed an army of 100,000 here in a short time, and there are still 50,000 troops in preparation.
The people of the country are only one million, and the one-time supply of more than 200,000 troops is really a model of reckless military force.
However, Yongzheng is very smart, there are 80,000 troops left to attack the surroundings, and the remaining 70,000 are ready to be sent to Shu Han to make money.
Otherwise, Yongzhou would be so stupid as to be so willing?
After appeasing the big chief, Liu Chen also met with the envoys of the two countries, although he did not express his intentions, but that kind attitude made the representatives and ambassadors of the two countries excited.
At this time, the tribute of the three kingdoms can withstand the military expenditure of 300,000 troops for a year, how can Liu Chen not be happy?
Next, some people from near and far, like Zongpre, Hu Ji, and Fu Yan, either came in person or sent Gongzi's cronies to visit.
In the end, the envoys representing Sun Xiu and Lu Xing came, but there was no news of Lin Yi, and Liu Chen was quite displeased.
"Your Majesty, this area is so ignorant of Wanghua, I don't know what to do, please have a light horse with the last general, and the last general will set foot on this small country in the forest for Your Majesty!"
It was Deng Zhong who spoke, and instead of fighting Jingbei with Deng Ai, he stayed by Liu Chen's side as a personal guard.
Knowing that Lin Yi was so disrespectful, Deng Zhong shouted that he would wipe out this small country with his army.
Liu Chen calmed down several young and strong generals and said:
"The gentleman doesn't use his mouth, and the soldiers will be sacrificed in vain, rest assured, such unrighteous people will not let them live forever!"
Xianglinyi from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty under the leadership of Ou Lian independent of the southern occupation of the city, is to automatically cut off the connection with the Central Plains, Wu State to take Jiaozhou can not make the country bow down, it can be seen that its independent consciousness of rejection of foreigners.
Liu Chen, who already had a countermeasure, smiled slightly, and pushed the cup to change the lamp with the military generals of Wenchen and the noble and wealthy families, and staggered the plans, so unhappy.
"Jia Chong, Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom, came to congratulate on behalf of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom!"
But at this moment, the slightly hoarse voice of the propagandist outside the door came.
Hearing this, the people present were silent for a while, looked outside the door, made sure that they heard correctly, and then looked at Liu Chen who was above, as if they were waiting for Liu Chen, the following.
Liu Chen was also paying attention to the reactions of everyone below, and he was not surprised to see this, but after secretly sighing in his heart, 'Emperor Wu of Jin is really extraordinary', he laughed loudly:
"There are friends from afar, they are happy, everyone who comes today is a guest, someone comes, drums and brocades, and a queue to welcome!"
Soon, Jia Chong's rather fat figure appeared outside the door, and behind him were a group of scholars and literati dressed in uniform costumes.
Seeing Jia Chong, Liu Chen was inexplicable, but when he saw the people behind Jia Chong, Liu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, after being a leader for so many years, his ability to recognize people is still not weak.
Although those people are mixed in with ordinary people, they are one another
