Generally speaking, the time for wounded soldiers to receive supplies is from the beginning of the injury to three years later, and the particularly serious ones can be extended to five to ten years, and some wounded soldiers whose labor force is completely abolished can receive subsidies for life.

Subsidies for wounded soldiers have always been a relatively difficult expense in northern Xinjiang. After all, Northern Xinjiang has to maintain the normal operation of local governments and help the newly acquired land to resume production, so the expenditure of money and grain in Northern Xinjiang is very terrifying.

It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of Zhao Yun's Western Expedition to the present, the financial situation of Northern Xinjiang has not been good, and it can be said that most of the time it is eating the old book, especially after the Sanfu area in a bad situation was occupied by the Tianci Army, the situation is even worse.

In the two hundred years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war money and grain spent for Xiliang were very terrifying. At present, the situation in Xiliang is slightly better because of the Tianci army, after all, the Tianci army swept the northern steppe, and the strength of the cavalry is obvious to all, and the Qiang people who also live on horseback do not dare to come out when the Tianci army is the strongest.

According to last year's financial statistics, one-tenth of the tax revenue in northern Xinjiang was all smashed in Xiliang, and this can only initially restore the production of Xiliang, and most areas still have to be spent by northern Xinjiang, and it is conceivable that in the next ten years or even decades, northern Xinjiang will become a burden on the heaven-sent army.

Don't think that one-tenth of the tax revenue is not much, you know, it is the annual tax revenue of the three richest northern states and counties in Liu Tai! And not counting the fiscal deficits of Sili, Yanzhou, and Sanfu regions. If you count the subordinate areas such as the boss, then one-tenth of the fiscal revenue is equivalent to putting one-fifth of the energy of northern Xinjiang into restoring production in Liangzhou.

Northern Xinjiang is tired, really tired.

Liu Tai is calling for wind and rain outside, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but who knows that in a month, at least twenty-eight days, Liu Tai will have to worry about saving expenses? Stacks of folds, financial expenditures again and again, all have to be personally approved by Liu Tai, Liu Tai is tired!

Of course, no matter how hard and tired Liu Tai is, he must persevere, and now that the time to unify the world is getting closer and closer, soon, Liu Tai will be able to truly rule the world and rule the land of China. This is Liu Tai's dream, and it is also the basis of Liu Tai's obsession to revitalize China.

Huaxia 194, May.

It took months for the alliance to come to fruition.

What is surprising is that it is not Cao Ying or Yuan Shao who is the leader of the alliance this time, but Liu Xuan, who is struggling to resist the Tianci Army in Shu. Of course, Liu Tai is also in everyone's imagination as the first bird, after all, Liu Tai is still a real Han emperor in name.

Liu Miao is the leader of the alliance, and the position of deputy leader of the alliance naturally fell to Cao Ying's head. And the covenant also stipulates that when the alliance leader is not there, the deputy alliance leader can exercise the rights of the alliance leader, that is to say, if Liu Miao is not there, then Cao Ying is the real boss. Of course, the situation of this alliance is also a little different, the rights of the alliance leader do not mean that the entire alliance can be mobilized, the operation of all rights must be decided by the vote of the princes of all parties, each prince has one vote, even Liu Xuan, the leader of the alliance, only has one vote!

There are seven princes in the alliance, and the introduction of the voting system avoids too many controversial issues, and it is unlikely that there will be arbitrariness. And in this way, the cohesion of the alliance is also much stronger. In fact, the emergence of voting rights was still learned by Cao Ying from the ancestral religion, and the ancestral election system was open, and there was no need to deliberately investigate it, so that the princes and the clan of the gate lords understood the benefits of the voting system, and of course they would follow suit.

It is worth mentioning that the election of the alliance's high-level positions and the distribution of positions are arranged very well, and it has also been recognized by most of the princes, so it can be said that this alliance is the one that is expected to be maintained for a long time in history.

Among the princes, Cao Ying was responsible for the overall distribution of grain and grass, Yuan Shao was in charge of the transportation of grain and grass in the Jiangdong battlefield, Lianghuai, and Xuzhou battlefields, Liu Bei's Jiangdong Naval Division was responsible for transporting soldiers and horses, and Sun Jian's Jingnan Army was responsible for the stability of the southern front.

In addition, Gongsun Du was responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in central Shu and Jingnan, and Gongsun Zhan was responsible for the defense of the northern line of central Shu. Liu Xuan was responsible for transporting troops to Gongsun Zhan and maintaining stability in the rear. In this way, the princes become a whole completely, and without anyone, there will be huge loopholes in this whole.

Maintaining this unity is not an easy task, especially in this era of information isolation. It can be said that as long as there is a traitor among the seven princes, it will be a huge blow to the alliance, especially the transportation of grain and grass, but for some reason, how could the alliance let Gongsun Du be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in Shu?

You must know that Gongsun Du is Liu Tai's cheap father-in-law, in case there is anything in mind

Could it be that Cao Ying and Liu Miao can't see the serious surname? No way! Liu Miao may not be able to see it, but Cao Ying can definitely think and see it, and he will resolutely prevent this from happening, but the strange thing is here, since he can see it and can imagine it, why did he hand over such an important matter of grain and grass transportation to Gongsun Du? ?

The current situation of the alliance is a bit weird, according to the arrangement of the seven princes, the power of the princes will become complicated, it can be said that you have me, I have you, especially the most prosperous in Shu. Because Shuzhong lost the two portals of Hanzhong and Jiameng one after another. The only fig leaf left was the Sword Pavilion, and how long could the Sword Pavilion alone hold off the Heavenly Army?

You know, Huang Zhong is a real veteran of the Tianci Army, he followed Liu Tai when he rose from Liu Tai, and he has experienced a hundred battles, which is to say that to Shaoli, the establishment of the entire Northern Xinjiang, how much credit does Huang Zhong have? No one can say clearly, such a fierce general, with an army of more than 100,000 troops, can the Shu army alone withstand it?

Although Gongsun Chan is strong, but after all, Gongsun Zhan's strength is limited, and it may be possible to block Zhang Fei and Dian Wei who can block Yinping, but it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops to go to the Sword Pavilion, in this way, the Sword Pavilion is related to the entire Shuzhong occupation, if the Sword Pavilion is lost, then it means that the Shuzhong Battle will come to an end, if the Sword Pavilion holds, then the Shuzhong Battle will be maintained indefinitely, and the best ending is that Liu Tai retreats in spite of the difficulties!

But can the Sword Pavilion hold it? Can Liu Xuan's motley army resist the heaven-sent army by virtue of Xiongguan? Pipe dream! Not long ago, Jia Mengguan is a good example, that is to say, at this moment, the garrison of the Sword Pavilion must look for foreign aid, and the foreign aid is nothing more than Gongsun Du in the southeast of Yizhou, Sun Jian in Jingzhou, among which Gongsun Du is absolutely impossible, after all, Gongsun Du is Liu Taiyue's identity makes the princes very jealous.

In this way, if Liu Jian wants to defend the Sword Pavilion, he can only turn to Sun Jian in Jingnan for help!

But the problem is that now Sun Jian's headquarters has about 50,000 elite soldiers and horses to support the eldest son Sun Ce's conquest of the natives of the Southern Barbarian Hundred Caves. Although there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in hand, the real elite is only about 30,000 or 40,000, and these 30,000 or 40,000 elites are still stationed in Jiangling City, the base camp, how to help Liu Miao garrison the Sword Pavilion? The situation is very bad!

Of course, sometimes even if a prince as strong as Sun Jian has no choice, after all, the current alliance is both prosperous and lossy, if the Sword Pavilion is broken by the Tianci army, it is equivalent to saying that the entire Shuzhong will fall into the hands of the Tianci army, and Shuzhong is lost, how long can Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du in the south of Yizhou support?

Therefore, the princes cannot afford to lose! Under the pressure of the princes, Sun Jian must send troops to rescue the Sword Pavilion, but of course the degree of this rescue is in Sun Jian's own hands, after all, even Cao Ying and others cannot force Sun Jian to give up the protection of the nest to help others, this kind of thing, there are really no princes who can do it, right?

In this way, in order to block the mouths of the princes as much as possible, Sun Jian had to go to the Sword Pavilion in person. And as soon as Sun Jian left, Sun Ce was in Nanban again, who should be stationed in the nest? Although there are many generals under Sun Jian's command, these generals are always outsiders, even if Sun Jian is generous, it is impossible to put his old capital in the hands of others, right?

Of course, if Zhou Yu was still in Jiangling City, Sun Jian might think about it, after all, the friendship between the Zhou family and the Sun family was not ordinary, and Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's brother. But now Zhou Yu is also far away in Nanban, so Zhou Yu's candidate for the town guard has also been shattered.

In order to ensure the stability of the rear, Sun Jian, the tiger, finally handed over the nest to the young Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan is still young, he is now thirteen years old, and thirteen years old is already an adult. As a member of the Sun family, can you not come forward when the Sun family's situation is urgent? And Sun Quan's ability has always been very appreciated by Sun Jian, if it weren't for Sun Ce, a more excellent brother above, maybe Sun Jian would have vigorously cultivated Sun Quan to become the heir.

In the 194th year of Huaxia, the war in Shuzhong in June was urgent, and Sun Jian, under the pressure of the alliance led by Cao Ying, was forced to lead 50,000 elites to the Sword Pavilion to help Liu Jian garrison. Of course, although these 50,000 soldiers are elite, they are certainly not real elites, after all, the Sword Pavilion has no direct interest relationship with Sun Jian, and Jiangling City is always under the threat of the 30,000 Tianci army in Xiangyang, how can Sun Jian ignore his lair?

It is worth mentioning that Sun Quan, who is only thirteen years old, has officially stepped onto the stage of power. In fact, as early as a year ago, Sun Quan was also detained by Liu Tai in Luoyang to "teach", but then Liu Tai put Sun Quan back, no one knew Liu Tai's thoughts, after all, it should be a good bargaining chip to control Sun Quan and a group of princes' children in their hands, but for some reason, Liu Tai still let go so easily.

Of course, no one would think much about it, and in a few months, Liu Tai could not do anything to the princes' children. In fact, when the princes' children returned, Cao Ying, Sun Jian and other princes sent people to closely monitor and investigate, after all, Cao Ying and Sun Jian can be described as heroes, how could they tolerate spies or something among their heirs? However, after a few months of investigation, nothing special was found at all, and everything in Luoyang was actually monitored by the intelligence department of the princes.

It is not surprising that Sun Quan became the de facto master of the lost nest. After all, Sun Quan has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and now after a period of training, he seems to have matured a lot. And Sun Jian handed over the nest to Sun Quan to guard, in fact, he also had the intention of taking the school examination, after all, it is impossible for any force to have only one successor, and the future of the Sun family, who can say for sure?

In 194 years in China, in mid-June, Gao Shun, the general of northern Xinjiang, entered Xuchang to receive all the military power of the Tianci army stationed in Yuzhou, and the Tianci army that was successively transferred from the rear was also stationed around Xuchang, in just a few months, Xuchang, which originally had only 30,000 soldiers and horses, has now stationed 100,000 Tianci troops.

Faced with the threat of Xuchang, Cao Ying of Shouchun also increased the defense of Runan, not only transferring 50,000 taels of Huai elite to garrison Runan, but also transferring 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangdong to jointly garrison in the form of an alliance. In fact, with Cao Ying's plan, he even wanted to transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Jingzhou, but after Sun Jian led the troops away, Jiangling City was already very empty, and it was obviously a bit too much to drop troops again, so Cao Ying gave up this unrealistic idea.

Of course, after giving up Sun Jian's side, Cao Ying will not forget Yuan Shao, after all, the second phase of the southern expedition of the Tianci Army includes the entire Central Plains, and Xuzhou is also within the scope of the Tianci Army.

And Yuan Shao, who has received the support of the Yuan clan and the gate lord clan, has now recovered a little, and his soldiers and horses are about to expand to 150,000. So many soldiers and horses were pushed into Xiapi City, which was obviously wasted, so Cao Ying put pressure on Yuan Shao, asking Yuan Shao to give up Xuzhou and move the people of Xuzhou to Lianghuai for the people, so that he could better hold the defense line.

Of course, Yuan Shao would not agree.

How can a character like Yuan Shao tolerate the suffering of sending people under the fence?

Although the area of Xuzhou is not large, many places are still under Cao Ying's control, but at least it is its own territory, right? But what if you enter the two Huai? That really depends on Cao Ying's face, in case Cao Ying is dissatisfied and cuts off the supply of grain and grass to Yuan Jun, then Yuan Shao doesn't know how he died, will Yuan Shao be so stupid? Obviously impossible.

The result can be imagined, under Yuan Shao's strong opposition, Cao Ying's wishful thinking still did not start. In fact, there is no problem with Cao Ying's explanation, in Cao Ying's opinion, it is better to waste troops to garrison the huge area north of Xuzhou, it is better to concentrate troops in the decisive battle between Lianghuai and the Tianci army, if Jingnan and Jiangdong can come to help in time, maybe it is possible to repel the invincible Tianci army!

And the consequences of dispersing the troops are extremely terrifying, after all, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao together will not exceed 400,000 troops, but Liu Tai invested more than 500,000 soldiers and horses in the second stage of the southern expedition, exceeding the number of 100,000 troops! This is not an ordinary army, but a well-trained and world-renowned elite of the Heavenly Army!
