Chapter 952: Seize the Port

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Latia thought that Guan Yinping had retreated again, and he was really annoyed by the Han people's Rory, so he couldn't wait to step forward and push it.

"Miss Latea? When I came out just now, I saw that you were playing with this medicine, why did you carry this medicine with you? ”

Guan Yinping held the medicine and asked Latia suspiciously, Latia was Liu Zhang's life-saving benefactor, Guan Yinping didn't think that Latia would harm Liu Zhang, but he was curious.

"I'm ......" Latea's expression suddenly changed, and she said loudly: "I raise animals, and this is for breeding animals." ”

"Breeding, alas." Guan Yinping's face flushed, he really regretted asking Latea, walked into the lobby in a panic, and almost fell on the threshold.

"Remember, stun him first, the success rate is great."

Latia whispered in the back, watching Guan Yinping enter, a smile appeared on her face after success, and she only felt that she had contributed to a pair with a sense of accomplishment.

But the smile on Latea's face faded and slowly became lonely.

"Wait for you to have gray hair, but the man accompanying you is not him, and you think of today's hesitation, what do you feel in your heart?"

……

"Brother, you, can you go and toast the King of Shu?"

Guan Yinping walked in and sat down, everyone at the table looked at her as if she was a little nervous, and they all asked, Guan Yinping finally held back this sentence.

"Toast to the King of Shu which round to get us, we are all young generals, and we are not qualified yet." Guan Suo said, and Guan Xing also nodded on the side.

There are hundreds of generals at this banquet, if they all go to toast Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying, it will be strange if they are not killed. So naturally. Everyone knows who is eligible to toast. Who should be divided?

A general like Guan Xing Guan Suo can only drink to himself.

"Go, that ......"

Guan Yinping was holding a small bottle in his hand, his face was so red that he seemed to be dripping blood, Guan Xing and Guan Suo were stunned for a moment, Guan Xing hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, your brother, I don't want to be cheeky today, but I'll tell you." Later, your brother will be shortened back, but you are not allowed to laugh. ”

Guan Xing is worthy of being Guan Yu's son, he does not hesitate to do things, and the low-level generals run to toast, which is a very laughed at, but after making up his mind, Guan Xing did not hesitate to pick up the wine glass and passed.

"Congratulations to the military advisor for crowning the king of Yan, and congratulations to the king of Shu for leading us to take Hebei, lay the foundation for dominating the world, and support the Han family. Be just round the corner. ”

Guan Xing raised his glass to Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying, and there were still people laughing at Guan Xing. But although Guan Xing is young, the toast is impassioned and has his own courage, and no one laughs.

"Guan Yunchang warmed wine and cut Huaxiong, passed five passes and killed six generals, walked a thousand miles and rode alone, brave and invincible, General Guan Xing did not lose the wind of his father, fought and sieged the city, and fought bravely, I believe that General Yunchang is in the spirit of the sky, I must be pleased, come."

Liu Zhang raised his glass.

"The military commander does his duty, do it."

After the two finished drinking, Guan Suo saw that Guan Xingdu had gone, although the two brothers had no suspicion now, but they also wanted to be better than whom, and it was the baby girl who asked for it, and also strode over.

Guan Yinping Because of Ma Yunlu's relationship, when he was in Liangzhou before, he had always been very familiar with the Ma family, and after Guan Xing came back, he instigated the people of the Ma family.

Ma Chao had already toasted, and then Pang De, Pang Rou, Ma Tie, Ma Dai, and Ma Xiu stepped forward to toast.

After Liu Zhang and Ma Xiu finished drinking, they felt slightly wrong, what was going on? And my head is a little dizzy.

"Husband." Xiao Furong walked over from the barbarian seat and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear, "Drink less." ”

Huang Yue and the others are not military generals, they can only be in the back hall as family members, and even Xu Zhaoxue has not come out, only Xiao Furong can persuade Liu Zhang, although Liu Zhang is now sick, but he can't drink like this.

"Well, I know, it's so powerful......"

Liu Zhang didn't want to drink and vomited, he lost his demeanor, and was about to applaud the powerful driver, when he suddenly saw a military general coming over, and thought to himself, this person really has to have a drink, so he raised his glass again.

"Husband......" Xiao Furong was about to persuade, but Huang Yueying said beside Xiao Furong: "Sister, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." ”

Huang Yueying knew that Liu Zhang was not a person without measure, so she persuaded Xiao Furong, Xiao Furong saw that Huang Yueying said this, she was still very relieved of Huang Yueying, so she stopped persuading, just looked at Liu Zhang sadly, and turned back to her desk.

"Cao Zhang has seen the lord." Cao Zhang came over in armor and saluted Liu Zhang.

"Brother, are you here to toast, or are you here to go to court." Zhi Lanying scolded on the side.

Cao Zhang smiled awkwardly, because of the relationship between Lingju and Guan Yinping's matter, how could the Cao family stand by and watch, Guan Xing said that the generals of the Cao family could only come, Cao Zhang, like Guan Xing, had no scruples, and came over directly.

It's just then that I found out that I don't seem to be very accustomed to these etiquette, because I used to be a son, so I was rude, except for the military salute, I don't know anything else, and now I am embarrassed when I say it.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "General Cao Zhang, born a fierce general, has this style, so as to not lose the style of a man." ”

Seeing that Liu Zhang praised it, Zhi Lanying didn't say anything, she glanced at Cao Zhang, turned her head and continued to eat.

"In this case, Cao Zhang's cup of wine is to honor the King of Shu, and he will do it first."

"Wait."

Cao Zhang was about to drink, but was suddenly stopped by Liu Zhang, Cao Zhang's wine bowl stopped in mid-air, his face turned red all of a sudden, all the generals thought that Cao Zhang was going to become the first general to be blocked, and said that too, so many middle and low-level generals toasted, it was strange that Liu Zhang could drink them all.

But Cao Zhang never thought that he would be blocked as soon as he arrived here, so how could he step down.

Liu Zhang smiled slightly, and asked the soldier to bring a chair over, "General Cao Zhang sits first, this king has something to say to General Cao Zhang." ”

"The king of Shu commanded." Cao Zhang sat down suspiciously, originally thought that a toast would be over, but he didn't expect to be left behind, Cao Zhang knew his position, he could have not come to toast, and he was happy, and he was happy to drink in a big bowl, what to toast.

Now he is forced over by Guan Xing. Face this scenario. Cao Zhang, who has always been rough. Immediately a little uncomfortable.

"Ziwen (Cao Zhangzi), with your knowledge of military generals, do you think that after our army settles in Hebei, what should we do next?"

"The next step is to step on Jiangdong and dominate the world."

"What about after you dominate the world?"

"Huh?"

Cao Zhang is a pure military general, and he really didn't think about what it would be like not to fight, Liu Zhang's words suddenly made him speechless, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. If there is no war, what life will it be?

Liu Zhang sighed and said: "Our army has a million troops, if we dominate the world, we will definitely not need so many soldiers to defend the border passes, General Cao Zhang, what do you think our army should do?" ”

"Cut...... Army? ”

Cao Zhang's two words only said these two words in a half-loud sound, he felt very uncomfortable, he was really born at the wrong time, since he became an adult leader, most of the time he was stationed in the state. Engaged with the Huns, nothing decent war.

The first time I went to Tongguan. It was to answer Cao Cao's escape, and the second time was to be chased by the Sichuan army from Jinyang to Huguan, and then he was set up by the Shi clan, and finally took a little righteous army to beat the water dogs.

He prides himself on being brave, but before the war, the world will be unified, and it is obvious that after reunification, it will be disarmed, as a general, there is basically nothing to do, Cao Zhang's heart is filled with sadness.

"That's right, disarmament, so many troops, nothing to do, no court can afford it, so this king only uses elite soldiers, why did I come to you, it is to say to you bluntly, the righteous army under General Cao Zhang's command is all within the scope of reduction."

As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, the people nearby who heard Liu Zhang's words all looked at Cao Zhang.

It is unfair to a military general to dismiss the army under the command of a military general, and to cut it all out, and it is difficult not to cause a backlash.

But Liu Zhang will definitely not take any euphemistic measures, these policies have touched the interests of military generals, and euphemistic deliberation has avoided the intensification of contradictions, but I don't know that it will drag on until the Year of the Monkey, and Liu Zhang will not have that patience.

Once you develop civil and military arrogance, it is no joke.

The rebel army under Cao Zhang's command was all the peasant army of the Hebei People's Revolution, and these armies were exactly the same as Fan Lixiang's Shenwei Army back then, and they would never become elite soldiers without the baptism of countless wars.

Now that the world is unified, these people are basically useless, and if they are not abolished, they will just waste the food of the imperial court.

The number of rebels was huge, there were 70,000 or 80,000, and Liu Zhang didn't want to keep any of them.

When Cao Zhang heard Liu Zhang's words, his face was a little unsightly, and Zhi Lanying on the side hurriedly pushed him: "What kind of expression do you have, don't forget that you are now a general of the Sichuan Army." ”

"General Cao Zhang's mood, this king can understand ......"

Although disarmament is inevitable, Liu Zhang still decided to explain that leaving Cao Zhang is also for this purpose, that is, to give the generals a psychological buffer, and they can't suddenly order the dismantling of other people's troops, what is the difference between that and disarming.

But before Liu Zhang could explain, Cao Zhang had already spoken, and arched his hand to Liu Zhang: "The King of Shu has misunderstood, the world is unified, the army is useless, and the imperial court will definitely not be able to support so many soldiers and horses, Cao Zhang still understands this reason, and Cao Zhang has absolutely no opinion on disarmament."

Moreover, the rebel army under the command of the last general has loose military discipline and low combat ability, although I have not led them for long, I was almost angry with them, and it is natural that the king of Shu should be abolished.

It's just ......" Cao Zhang paused and said: "King Shu, the last general asks for orders to conquer Jiangdong, there are not many soldiers and horses, 10,000 elite soldiers are enough, as long as the navy is sent across the Yangtze River, not down Jiangdong, Cao Zhang will come to see him." ”

Cao Zhang was impassioned, and the generals around him felt that although Cao Zhang was young, he was really a fearless tiger general.

"Courage is commendable, but with the current situation in Jiangdong, if Fazheng Wei Yanwei Wen can't take the hundreds of thousands of land and water troops under his command, then the king will raise them in vain."

Cao Zhang's expression was gloomy, and he let out a long breath, as if he had given up, and said with a depressed face: "Then the King of Shu will disarm directly, Cao Zhang has no opinion." ”

"Huh." Cao Zhang smiled: "Ziwen understands righteousness and is very good, but if Ziwen still wants to fight, it's not that there is no place, it's just a little remote." ”

"Where?" Cao Zhang was suddenly excited, Zhe Lanying on the side looked at Cao Zhang speechlessly, Cao Zhangquan didn't see it, and said loudly to Liu Zhang: "King Shu, as long as you can fight, Cao Zhang can go anywhere, and if you fight a war, you don't care if you are remote, it is better to go home and sleep with a woman in your arms." ”

"Give me a map of Goguryeo." Liu Zhang said to Wang Xu, Wang Xu immediately ordered someone to get it, Huang Yueying pursed her lips on the side, and said in her heart: "Really, I can't forget your Goguryeo." ”

Although Huang Yueying has supported Liu Zhang's decision, she still can't help but complain about Liu Zhang's relationship with the Korean Peninsula.

Liu Zhang unfolded the map of Goguryeo, because Liu Zhang specially instructed that the map of Goguryeo is now much more detailed, and it is all summarized through the intelligence of various parties, including the information of the front-line troops and the accounts of those Han people who have been to Korea, and there are some sporadic information.

It's a lot of distortion, but it's much better than the old rudimentary map.

Liu Zhang unfolded the map in front of Cao Chang and pointed to a place on the border between Baekje and Goguryeo: "There is a city here, called Sihyeonseong, close to the Han River at the southern end of Goguryeo, which is the largest port in Baekje, and all shipping with the Japanese slave country starts from here, and goods are distributed from here.

Our army has defeated Goguryeo, occupied the entire territory of Goguryeo, and confronted Silla and Baekje with the Han River.

It's just that Baekje and Silla are remote and remote, and Goguryeo has not yet been completely controlled, and the administration has not yet been established, so the king will not take action against Baekje and Silla for the time being.

However, this place, Sihyun Fortress, must be taken first, and on the south side of it, fortifications must be built, not only to resist Baekje, but also to use it as a base to attack Baekje when the time is ripe in the future.

Tian Yu defended Liaodong, Zhao Yun and the Vulture Bone Society withdrew to the Central Plains, and General Wang Yue had to defend Goguryeo and prepare for war against Silla.

The strategy, defense, construction, intelligence collection of Baekje, and the strategy of Baekje in the future, a general is needed, I wonder if General Cao Chang is willing to serve as it? ”

Sihyeonseong is a coastal city, and at the beginning of the founding of Baekje, it was originally deserted, but it was only because Baekje began to develop maritime transportation and turned from maritime transportation to prosperity that Sihyeonseong City developed.

It can be said that Sihyeon Fortress witnessed the whole process of Baekje's rise from maritime transportation.

In the later period, Baekje, which relied more and more on shipping, finally settled on Sihyeonseong until its demise.

Although the current city of Sihyeon Fortress has not yet become the capital of Baekje, it has developed into a large city due to the maturity of shipping, and the port facilities are complete.

Liu Zhang wanted to open up a seaport in Korea to transport opium to the Japanese slave countries and bring back gold, but it was too difficult and expensive to open a seaport by himself, and Liu Zhang was reluctant.

Then it is better to use troops to seize it, grab a ready-made one, not only save the cost, but also estimate that when the first batch of opium is produced, you can go to sea.

"Husband, send your brother to such a far place?" (To be continued......)
