Chapter 424: Nothing to Gain

When Zhang Fang fled all the way west, Chang'an was also in chaos. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There were no secrets in the court, and the defection of the Marquis of Fuping soon spread out, and half of the court was in chaos. For the hair? Cheese passive!

As mentioned earlier, Zhang Fang had been planning to flee for a long time, and in just half a year, he quietly handled Chang'an's industry cleanly. And the people who took over included most of the court officials or their relatives and friends. The seizure of the property of the Marquis of Fuping is simply the cheese of the entire interest class.

In the first two days, Wang Gen and Wang Zhang were still under pressure and forcibly raided more than a dozen places, but they soon could not be found -- even Ahou Wang Tan of Pingping, Wang Fengshi, Marquis of Gaoping, Shi Dan, the right general, and the son of the great general Wang Feng were all involved. In the end, even Wang Gen himself has a share...... How else do you think it's being confiscated?

After reporting to the Son of Heaven, seeing the names of the officials involved in the dense inclusion on the chapter, Liu Biao was silent for a long time. The next day, an edict was issued to confiscate the Fuping Marquis Mansion and more than ten Zhang's properties that had been copied by Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin, and the rest were not asked.

So the court celebrated.

Some people are happy, some people are sad, and Zhao Lin is one of the sad urgers.

This upstart who betrayed his righteous daughter and worshiped the Marquis of Guannei, spent all his family wealth to buy Zhang's tea shop, only to find out in the end that it was "one daughter and five marriages". Among them, the "two marriages" are Wang Tan and Wang Gen, how can he dare to fight? The more fatal blow is that the "secret recipe" in the hand cannot produce qualified tea at all...... Half a lifetime of hard work is only exchanged for a piece of waste paper, such a blow is unbearable for individuals.

One evening, someone saw Zhao Junhou holding a piece of paper in his hand, and walked out of the city in despair...... The next day, a swollen corpse floated in Weishui.

The seizure of Zhang Fang's property was just an enforcement of the national law, although it finally failed with too much resistance, but for Liu Biao, it was just another layer of blockage. What he wanted most was to capture that person and sacrifice it in front of the queen mother's spirit, so that he could count the evil breath in his chest.

For this reason, Liu Biao withstood the pressure (because the vast majority of courtiers did not know that the death of the Empress Dowager was related to Zhang Fang), and iced the Empress Dowager's corpse, insisted on not going out of the funeral, claiming that he would keep the spirit for 36 days.

The Son of Heaven was full of filial piety, and the courtiers naturally wanted to support him, and for a while, the government and the opposition praised him. It's just that few people know that the Son of Heaven is waiting, waiting for a person or its head.

However, what kept coming back was not the good news that Liu Biao was looking forward to, it was all bad news: first, the pursuit of troops until the martial arts were blocked, and the road was cut off. According to the martial arts order, Zhang Yi was seen passing by, and then a huge earthquake occurred, and the surrounding houses were damaged, but fortunately no one was injured, and it was suspected that the earth dragon turned over...... Seeing this report, the monarch and the minister knew that it must be Zhang Fang's hands and feet.

Dynamite, dynamite! The queen mother was also destroyed on this thing, and Liu Biao regretted a little that he did not continue to study this strange thing.

Later, the messenger came with news that Zhang Yi could not be intercepted along the way, and there was a possibility of escaping from the country.

A month later, on the last day of the expiration of Liu Biao's filial piety period, he received an urgent report from Dunhuang for 600 miles: the rebel Zhang Fang, colluded with the Western Regions to protect the class, and took up more than 3,000 cavalry to protect the palace and Hu soldiers, repelled the pursuing troops of the Dunhuang Taishou Guo Xi's department, and hid in the desert Gobi, where he was missing. Please ask the Imperial Court for further instructions.

According to the record of "Emperor Cheng's Living Note": "The emperor drew his sword to attack the case, and angrily pointed to 'why is it here'!" ”

Yes, Liu Biao couldn't understand why his army actually rebelled? Just one Western Regions Protector can instigate and hold hostage the entire Metropolitan Protectorate and thousands of soldiers on the river wall to rebel?

This bane, which almost destroyed the trust of the Han monarchs and ministers in the Western Regions, and seriously affected the Western Han court's national policy in the Western Regions, was not known to Liu Biao until several years later.

Exchange transfusion program.

It all started with Zhang Fang's exchange blood plan.

It was not for no reason that Zhang Fang arranged the situation of his father-in-law's class and Chen Li, who had been pulled up by one hand, to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, but it was premeditated. When the Western Regions were protected for three years, they did two things - one was that the Han people lost to the west, and the other was that the army of Xingcheng was transported eastward.

The Han people who lost to the west naturally went to the Star Picking City, and the army of the East Movement was stationed in the form of a tribe more than 50 miles west of Wulei City, which was at the border between Qiuci and Wulei, and belonged to the boundary of Sanzhi (Western Regions Protectorate, Qiuci, and Wulei). Under the strong bond of commerce and trade, Wusun, Qiuzi, Wensu and other countries have completely formed an alliance of interests with Star Picking City. And the Western Regions Protectorate is the presiding officer of the class, and the result is unknown, in three years, thousands of soldiers have been transported. The soldiers of the Metropolitan Protectorate and Jiaohebi were tempted by various interests to join the westward team, and even their families were brought along.

The garrison of the Western Regions Protectorate is losing, while the soldiers of Star Picking City are increasing, and the replacement process is finally completed.

This is Zhang Fang's exchange blood plan.

This plan is not just as simple as receiving Zhang Fang to escape from the Han Dynasty smoothly, it also lays a wedge for the future Star City and the Han Dynasty to compete for the Western Regions.

So the truth is that it is not the Western Regions Protector who created the Han Emperor, but the Star Picking City and the vassal tribe Wanli Protector.

Even if the ins and outs of the situation were later clarified, it could not hide the fact that the Protectorate of the Western Regions had been infiltrated. It is impossible to know who is reliable and who is not, how many are reliable and how many are unreliable.

The monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty could no longer trust this stronghold, thousands of miles away and hanging in a foreign land. The direct consequence was that the strength of the Han Dynasty and the Star Picking City to compete for the Western Regions was greatly weakened, and they did nothing, and with the strength of one country, they were actually defeated by a city, and finally lost the Western Regions......

The matter has come to this point, even though the Son of Heaven and the Wang family are eager to eat their flesh and dismantle their bones, they are also helpless.

The state funeral of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun was also put on the agenda. It is said that every time the Son of Heaven saw the mutilated body of the Queen Mother, he would faint with tears. Every time I wake up, I grit my teeth with hatred and draw my sword to fight the case.

In front of Liu Biao, it is a difficult choice: do you want to go west again?

Liu Biao didn't think about it for long, and finally vetoed himself. Let's not talk about whether Liu Biao himself has the courage to do so, in terms of national strength and national conditions alone, there is no such possibility.

Since Liu Biao came to power, natural disasters have been frequent, year after year, and it is a chaotic phenomenon unseen in the Han Dynasty in the past 200 years. The money and grain used for disaster relief and chaos every year put a lot of pressure on the treasury and Taicang, and it is gradually depleted. At this time, the national strength of the Han Dynasty was already declining, the shelf was still there, and it was empty inside.

And to go west, it must be supported by the Western Regions Protectorate, and it is unthinkable to go west without the Western Regions Protectorate as a transit or base. However, can the current Western Regions Protectorate still bear this trust and responsibility? Obviously, it can't be!

To fight a war is to fight for money, and the Han Dynasty could definitely not withstand a protracted expeditionary war. Unless it is like Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou's westward expedition, a quick battle is resolved, otherwise just wait for the wax.

For a character like Chen Tang, it's hard to have one person in one era, and you want to have two more? Chen Tang Xizheng, that is a miracle, what is a miracle? The miracle is that it cannot be replicated.

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, Liu Biao is a family member, and he knows everything about his family, his family can't afford it, and there is no one in his bag who can create miracles......

In the first year of Yangshuo, there was a leap August, and the sun was eclipsed.

In the face of God's warning, Liu Biao finally stopped.

Zhang Fang's defection gradually faded over time.
