Chapter 248: Lu Taigong asks for help
Since Liu Fang had other plans, Liu Yuan was not asking, no matter what, Liu Fang's loyalty was beyond doubt. "You go down first, you are tired all the way, so you can rest and recuperate."
"No!" Lu Shizhi is indeed very tired, and he is supporting the entire army all the way.
Seeing Lu Shizhi leaving, Liu Yuan said to Xiao He again: "Xiao Xiancheng, do you say that the people of this old Han can finally accept us." ”
Xiao He pondered for a moment before replying: "As long as the lord treats the people benevolently and righteously, in this troubled world, the people will naturally return to their hearts, and the lord does not have to worry." ”
"I hope so. The current situation has reached a critical moment, the civil strife in the Qin Dynasty has not ended, and the vitality of the Six Kingdoms has not been restored, and it is still unknown whether the anti-Qin can be successful. Liu Yuan thought of the situation of various countries, the Korean dragons were leaderless, the Wei State had just been pacified, the Chu State was also controlled by Xiang Liang, the Zhao State was greatly injured, and only the Qi State was still stable.
This situation also shows that the anti-Qin forces of various countries are not sufficient, thinking of the four fortresses of Qin, if one of them cannot be captured, then the destruction of Qin can only be an empty talk. And if you want to capture the four fortresses, the casualties are absolutely huge, and only by relying on the accumulation of human lives can it be successful.
Therefore, the first thing Liu Yuan has to do now is to stabilize the hearts of the people of the entire homeland, so as to recruit a large number of troops in Yingchuan and enrich himself. Liu Yuan believes that after the joint anti-Qin some time ago, various countries have also discovered the shortcomings of their own troops, and the next focus may be on troops.
As for the outcome of the civil war in Qin, whether it was the death of Ziying or Zhao Gao's monopoly on power, in the current situation, the six countries were not capable of fighting back. And Xiang Liang's grudge against Surabaya County, it is not easy to take revenge.
Liu Yuan suddenly felt the deep pressure that made him breathless, and the root cause was because his family foundation was too thin. Just as he was thinking about this, Zhou Bo hurriedly walked in, and he said with a hurried expression: "Lord, Duke Lu ordered someone to come and ask for help. ”
"What's going on? Could it be that he was chased by Xiang Liang's pursuers? After Liu Yuan was surprised, he immediately asked. Lu Wenke carried supplies from Pei County, and he passed through Weidi, which he also heard.
Zhou Bo shook his head and continued: "No, but I met bandits in Sanchuan County. ”
"Bandits?"
"Yes. After Li You's death, Sanchuan County was in complete chaos, and bandits were rampant in various places. Zhou Bo also reported the information he had collected. Lu Taigong said in the letter that the bandit was brave, and our soldiers were not at all invincible, so he could only set up camp for defense, and hoped that the lord would send troops as soon as possible. ”
"There are still such bandits, it seems that the strength is not bad." Liu Yuan frowned, knowing that the situation of Lu Taigong was not optimistic, so he immediately ordered: "Zhou Bo, order you and Lu Ze to lead 2,000 troops and go to Sanchuan County to help as soon as possible." ”
"No!" After Zhou Bo received the order, he left quickly.
When Lu Ze heard that his father was stopped by bandits, he was also worried, so he immediately gathered his soldiers and followed Zhou Bo to Sanchuan County for reinforcements. Liu Yuan stood on the city tower, watching the army gradually move away, and said to Han Xin beside him: "What do you think? ”
"The lord is saying that this army is sent to Sanchuan?" Han Xin asked. Seeing Liu Yuan nodding, Han Xin continued to answer: "The geographical location of Sanchuan County is very important, it is an important place to enter Xianyang in the west, if the lord can recover it, he will definitely be able to grasp the opportunity. ”
"It seems that you and I want to go together." Liu Yuan smiled, "But it's not suitable to use troops for the time being, when the time comes, these three rivers will inevitably be controlled." ”
The news of Zhou Bo's departure with his troops also spread in Yangzhai City, which also attracted the attention of some forces opposed to Liu Yuan. However, even if there are less than these 2,000 Pei troops, Yang Zhai's troops still have more than 8,000 people, which is not something that those forces can resist.
However, Liu Yuan did not send troops to conquer these forces, after all, he was in Yingchuan, he was an outsider, if it were not for Zhang Liang's sitting, it would not be easy to convince the people of the old Han. In the face of these aggressive forces, Zhang Liang asked for orders to go and persuade him in person.
After hearing this, Liu Yuan said worriedly: "It may be dangerous to go here, can Prime Minister Zhang be sure?" ”
"How can you know the result if you don't give it a try, don't worry, these county orders don't dare to do anything to me Zhang Liang." In his hometown of South Korea, Zhang Liang has this confidence.
"In that case, I will not stop you." Liu Yuan knew that if he wanted to quickly and thoroughly solve these opponents, Zhang Liang's lobbying was the most direct way. "In this way, Wu Ziyan will lead the troops to escort the prime minister."
Zhang Liang thought about it and agreed to Liu Yuan's arrangement, Wu Ziyan is also Korean after all, at least he will not let those county orders contradict. After the decision was made, Zhang Liang did not procrastinate, he recruited Wu Ziyan resolutely, and then left Yang Zhai under the escort of a group of old Han soldiers.
In this way, in the entire Yangzhai City, there is only Pei Jun, although many people know Liu Yuan's reputation for loving the people, but Zhang Liang's departure has also caused a lot of discussion and panic. However, the worries of the people in the city were superfluous after all, and Zhang Liang's departure did not make Liu Yuan change the relaxed policy, and the people's lives were as usual.
This made the people in Yangzhai City completely convinced, and after this period of time, they finally recognized Liu Yuan.
For the recognition of the people, Liu Yuan was naturally happy, from the point to the surface, the people of Yangzhai City spread it from mouth to mouth, which is very beneficial to the current situation. At the same time, on this basis, Liu Yuan also began appropriate conscription.
The so-called appropriateness is also because of the particularity of Yingchuan, so the integration of the Han people and Peijun still needs to be matched, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
"Han Xin, this conscription matter will be handed over to you, so Han's people's vigilance against our Peijun is not highlighted at present, but we must not be negligent because of this." Liu Yuan looked at Han Xin and admonished. Since arriving in Yingchuan, Liu Yuan has begun to pay more and more attention to Han Xin, and he is also willing to listen to the latter's opinions.
This made Da Niu and other veteran generals of the Pei army feel very uncomfortable, and Han Xin's sudden rise was bound to affect them. Da Niu and others are absolutely loyal, and they don't care about official positions, and their dissatisfaction with Han Xin comes from unfamiliarity and distrust.
If you are not familiar with it, you will naturally not know Han Xin's art of war, and distrust is a cautious attitude, or in other words, it is a question of Liu Yuan's bold use of Han Xin. After all, whether it is Da Niu, Cao Shen or Xiahou Ying, they all climb step by step with their military exploits.
Han Xin knew that Liu Yuan's reuse of himself was also under great pressure, and he also understood Liu Yuan's relationship with Da Niu, Cao Shen and others. For Liu Yuan's trust, Han Xin has a kind of gratitude for dying for his confidant, and this gratitude is where his loyalty lies. (To be continued.) )
