Although there are thousands of concerns, but the military situation is like fire, after all, sending this matter to Luoyang, a round trip wasted ten days, you must know that Xiling City has been attacked by barbarians for half a month, so you can only look at the present.

So Liu Hong immediately issued an order: "Order the barbarian general Dong Zhuo and his 20,000 Han troops to enter Jingzhou and help Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, to quell the barbaric chaos." ”

Immediately, Liu Hong asked Jia Xu to retreat.

After Jia Xu stepped back, Liu Hong sighed deeply, for the first time, Liu Hong was not satisfied with his age.

If Liu Hong was in his thirties at this time, then Liu Hong could have ordered the crown prince to supervise the country and choose two trusted ministers to assist him. Liu Hong can leave Luoyang with peace of mind.

Liu Hong believes that even if the Yangzhou family moves a little, they shouldn't move, but as long as Liu Hong is there in person, then those families will definitely rush to show their loyalty. In this way, the big picture must be.

However, at this time, Liu Hong was unable to recruit in person, and even left Luoyang for a long time, because the imperial court was not completely stable, if Liu Hong left Luoyang at this time, then presumably Liu Hong had just left on the front foot, and Luoyang would be in chaos on the back foot.

It is like the national leader of a certain country in the future, who has just assumed the position of president, and in order to grasp the military power and the people's will like the previous president, he immediately went abroad to visit, but just two days after he went out, a coup d'état occurred in the country, and this diplomatic president can never go back.

Liu Hong didn't want to be like the diplomatic president of later generations, after all, although the Han family was deep-rooted, it was not without rebel forces.

After all, the most righteous throne in Chinese history is the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty is not in every way, but its founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang after all defeated the foreign race and won the world.

If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty's invasion, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to overthrow even a big peasant uprising.

Thinking of these, Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh again, although Liu Hong now enjoys supreme power, he is like a golden bird trapped in a cage.

Then Liu Hong couldn't help but look to the south, if it was not handled well, I am afraid that it would shake the foundation of the Han family.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong immediately wrote a warning letter and ordered someone to send it to Yangzhou Assassin Shi Zang Min quickly.

"Zang Min, I hope you won't disappoint me!" Liu Hong muttered.

Immediately, Liu Hongdao said, "Pass on the Taifu, Taiwei, Sikong." ”

"No"

Li Hao whispered a promise, and hurriedly went down to deliver the decree.

A quarter of an hour later, Taifu Hu Guang, Taiwei Liu Ju, and Sikong Li Xian came to the side hall of Liu Hong's palace together.

After the three of them entered the main hall, they saw that Liu Hong was staring at the map of the Han on the side of the main hall, so they saluted and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Liu Hong didn't seem to hear it, still looking at the map of the big man, and didn't even move.

Seeing this, the three of them did not dare to move, and they all maintained a posture of leaning over and saluting, but they glanced at each other, wondering why Liu Hong was like this, and you must know that Liu Hong would not hang the minister like this in ordinary times, unless he was dissatisfied with him.

After a while, Liu Hongcai slowly turned around and said, "The three Aiqing are exempt." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Liu Hong ordered the three of them to salute, he still did not leave the map of the Han Dynasty, but said, "Three Aiqing, and go to my side." ”

"No"

Hearing this, the three of them bowed slightly, then walked behind Liu Hong and looked at Dahan's map.

Liu Hong held a wooden stick in his hand and pointed at Jingzhou and said, "Three Aiqing, do you know about Jingzhou?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Jingzhou is far from Beijing, and it takes three or five days for fast horses, this is still day and night, horses are short of horses, and people are short of people to change the war report to Luoyang, if it is a large army, I am afraid that it will take 20 days, so that it will not delay the fighter in vain?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to cultivate the Chi Dao?" Taifu Hu Guang asked.

Liu Hong shook his head and said, "No, Emperor Qin's construction of the Chi Road is the north, and the southern waterway is vertical and horizontal, and the construction of the Chi Road is time-consuming and laborious, this method is not advisable, I want to dig a waterway, called the Grand Canal." Through the north and south, in order to solve the difficulty of transporting troops, if the Grand Canal is completed, from Luoyang troops, less than ten days can reach the land of Jingyang. ”

Sikong Li Xian heard this, "Your Majesty, digging a canal is more time-consuming and laborious than building a gallop road, and it is really not suitable for the imperial court to levy conscription on a large scale now. ”

"Hehe," Liu Hong chuckled and said, "When did I say that I would be sent out for conscription?" Aren't those Qiang people the choice of labor? Moreover, the three love Qing and watch. ”

As he spoke, Liu Hong pointed to the map, and said, "The southernmost section of the canal is located in the territory of Yangzhou Huiji, passing through Wu County in the north, to Guangling, Xuzhou, and entering the river." This section as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because of the low terrain between the river and the Qiantang River, the rivers and lakes are dense, and there have been canals that communicate the rivers and lakes. ”

"Further north, from Guangling to Jiujiang, connecting the river and Huaishui, although there are also ancient rivers in this section, but most of them are above the ground, so in order to prevent floods, it needs to be dug down again."

"Immediately, along Surabaya, Wenshui went north to Luoyang, so that the difficulty of transporting troops could be solved."

After listening to Liu Hong's words, the three of them got together and discussed in a whisper, and after a while, Taifu said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's move is very good, based on the original ancient river channel, digging a canal can greatly save manpower, but even so, it is not a short time to rely on the 100,000 Qiang people." ”

Liu Hong smiled when he heard this, "Taifu doesn't have to worry, after that, the foreign clans, if they don't obey the Han Dynasty, they will be exterminated, and the captives will be used to dig the canal, and the canal I don't plan to complete it in a short time, this is a matter that is beneficial to the world, so we must ensure the quality of the project, and we must not be careless." The matter was left to the office. ”

"No, the Lord's Decree."

Liu Hong then continued: "However, the canal dug this time is all foreign, and it is necessary to guard against it, so I ordered the Wushuang Captain Xu Rong to lead the Wushuang Army to escort the Qiang people to Jiujiang and take care of it, and the Grand Canal will start from this section from Guangling to Jiujiang!" ”

"No"

At this time, Taifu said, "Your Majesty, why don't you please name this section of the canal?" ”

"Located in the middle of the two major rivers, let's call it the Li Canal!" Liu Hong opened his mouth without thinking about it.

Taifu thought about it for a while, but it was okay, so he said "No"

Then the three of them retreated to discuss the specific implementation plan, as the saying goes, the boss moves his mouth, and his subordinates break their legs!

When the three of them walked out of the side hall, Taifu looked back inside, and Liu Ju saw this strange and asked, "Taifu, what's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Hu Guang said perfunctorily, and then secretly said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that you ordered your most trusted general, Xu Rong, and the Wushuang Army, one of the most elite armies of the Han Dynasty, to go to Jiujiang, not just to guard the Qiang people!" Jing Yang has been eventful this time, you ordered 50,000 elite unequaled troops to go, I'm afraid you want to deter some people! ”

Liu Hong was in the palace, and secretly thought to himself, "It's been so long, and those princes and kings should be honest." In this way, the 30,000 troops do not have to stay in Jizhou. ”

Then he said, "Li Hao, I want to do it." ”

"No"

"After the order, General Zhang Huan and his Northern Army can return to Luoyang, and this Northern Army will form a Shooting Army."

"No"
