Chapter 470

readx;

Over the years, although the nearly 50,000 troops under the command of Gongsun Zhan are strong, they have been suppressed by Gongsun Du of Jianning! Not long ago, it was rumored that Gongsun Du was going to expand the army again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoJianning is completely different from Yunnan, and even the name of the capital of Yinan, the city of Jianning is extremely rich, and most of the transactions in the entire Yinan area are carried out in Jianning.

Gongsun Du has enough financial resources and population to expand the army, and the equipment and quality of the soldiers of the legions under his command are excellent, and Gongsun Du, who has enough resources, is not comparable to Gongsun Chan at all.

Therefore, the pressure on Gongsun Chan is very high.

Gongsun Chan also wants to expand the army, but what about Gongsun Chan having this capital? Barely shepherding 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses is already the limit of Gongsun Zhan, if the army is expanded, then the political situation in Yunnan will definitely collapse, and in terms of the population density and number of young people in Yunnan, Gongsun Chan is not allowed to have this luxury at all.

"It's true!" Liu Miao on the side confirmed.

Although Liu Miao was also heartbroken when he took out hundreds of thousands of taels of gold materials at once, as long as he could block the footsteps of the Tianci Army, even if the treasury was all taken out, Liu Miao was willing!

If the materials are gone, you can save again, but if the territory is gone, if you die, then there is no hope at all.

Hearing this, Gongsun Chan nodded, but these are not enough to satisfy Gongsun Chan! Then I saw a faint smile hanging on the corner of Gongsun Zhan's mouth, and said: "Since Your Majesty and the general have said so, Zhan can't continue to be polite, so let's do it, as long as one more condition is added, Zhan will agree to send troops to Shuzhong, but Zhan also wants to make it clear here that even if Yunnan sends troops, it will not be much, after all, the threat of the Nanban tribes is great, if they come out, the hundred tribes will definitely be ready to move, in case Yunnan loses, Zhan can not afford this responsibility!" ā€

Liu Xuan's eyes were full of anger, but he still endured it very well, and asked Gongsun Zhan: "The general's heart to serve the country, I am naturally very clear, I will not be too difficult, and I hope that the general will first tell me what the conditions are, if I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." ā€

Liu Xuan was very angry, really angry, but he could only swallow his anger against the powerful Gongsun Zhan, because Liu Xuan needed the help of Gongsun Zhan, otherwise, the difficulties in front of him would not be able to get over at all!

"Land!" Gongsun Zhan raised his eyebrows lightly, and when Liu Dai and Liu Xuan's faces turned cold, he continued: "If you want to send troops to Shuzhong, Your Majesty needs to give up Hanjia and Jian as two counties, these two counties are adjacent to my Yunnan, and you can transfer grain, grass, materials and soldiers from Yunnan at any time, which is of great significance to Yunnan, and I hope Your Majesty and the general will promise!" ā€

Cupidity!! No one could have imagined that Gongsun Chan was so greedy, although the two counties of Hanjia and Jian were not big, but these two counties were not only adjacent to Yunnan but also bordered by Guanghan County. If Liu Xuan really has to give up the second county, then Chengdu will inevitably face the threat of Gongsun Chan directly, and Gongsun Chan will be able to come to Chengdu at any time, that is to say, Liu Xuan's lifeblood is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan!

The atmosphere froze in an instant, and Liu Xuan's face was so gloomy that water could drip out. At this moment, Liu Dai was not easy to make a decision all of a sudden. If Gongsun Chan wants the position of prince, Liu Dai can promise instead of Liu Xuan, but what Gongsun Chan wants now is land, what can Liu Dai say?

Although the area of Shuzhong is vast, it is also limited, Hanzhong in the north is occupied by the Tianci army, and several neighboring counties in Hanzhong may be lost at any time, and if Liu Miao gives up Hanjia and Jianwei, then Liu Xuan's territory will be seriously reduced!

Counties are related to population, Hanjia and Qianwei two counties are adjacent to Chengdu, which is a rare prosperous place in Shuzhong, although the population of the county can not be compared with the Central Plains county, but the two counties add up to at least more than 100,000 households, how much population is there in the whole Shu?

At most, there were only 6,700,000 households, and 100,000 households were ceded

And if Gongsun Chan gets the second county, it is equivalent to saying that his strength has doubled out of thin air, and it is not bad compared with Gongsun Du in Jianning!

Good abacus, big abacus, it turns out that Gongsun Chan wants territory in the actual sense, although those materials can impress Gongsun Chan, but what can be more real than territory?

"At the same time, I want two counties," Liu Miao said hesitantly.

"Here, General Ben agreed on behalf of His Majesty." Liu Dai interrupted Liu Xuan's words and said decisively. Originally, Liu Dai was not good at making a decision for Liu Xuan, but after thinking about it, Liu Dai had to agree! Because Liu Dai knows very well that Liu Miao will give it after thinking about it, but he is just hesitating now, and if he hesitates, it will definitely make a gap between the two and Gongsun Zhan, and the situation will be even worse at that time.

The most important thing is that if the relationship breaks down and Gongsun Chan leads his troops north, can Liu Dai and Liu Miao stop it? Obviously unstoppable!

In the 193rd year of China, the situation in Yizhou was bad again in mid-February.

The Tianci Army broke the gate of Wudu, Wudu County looked at the wind and fell, and in just over ten days, the entire territory of Wudu County fell into the hands of the Tianci Army.

On the order of Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, who commanded 30,000 iron cavalry, hurriedly marched to Yinping County, and Yinping's letters asking for help were sent to Chengdu in Shu County like snowflakes. But at this time, Liu Miao was also helpless, most of the troops in Shu were placed in Zitong County to defend against Huang Zhong's middle route army, how could there be any troops to be dispatched to Yinping to rescue?

In the same month, due to the urgency of the war, Liu Miao had no choice but to grit his teeth and cede Hanjia County and Qianwei County to Gongsun Zhan, along with nearly 200,000 catties of gold strategic materials. Gongsun Zhan, who got this batch of heavenly wealth, finally sent troops!

Gongsun Chan has always been a typical figure who is resolute and resolute.

After Liu Xuan completed what he had promised, Gongsun Zhan immediately dispatched troops and commanded an army of 30,000 to the north and rushed to Wenshan County along the trail. Rescuing Yinping is impossible at present, so Gongsun Chan decided to deploy defenses in Wenshan County, and with the geographical evil of Wenshan County, Gongsun Chan has ninety percent confidence to resist the footsteps of the Tianci army going south.

In the same month, under the threat of Dian Wei's 30,000 iron cavalry, Yinping Taishou had no choice but to go out of the city and surrender, Yinping was already a poor mountain and remote place, and there were no troops to defend it at all. Moreover, the Tianci Army is the army of the son of Liu Yan, the old master of Yizhou, these old people naturally dare not resist too much, and surrendering out of the city is the best choice.

Dian Wei did not let go of the gate lord clan in the city because Yin Ping was too knowledgeable about current affairs. In Liu Tai's edict, the methods of dealing with the diehards of the Yizhou gate valve were extremely harsh, and Dian Wei was Liu Tai's loyal executioner. Yin Ping's self-righteous gate valves are naturally guilty.

Dian Wei, who occupies Yinping, is not in a hurry to go south, after all, if you go south, it is Zitong County or Wenshan County, both of which are heavily guarded, and they are the gateway to Shu County, which is not so good to take. And Dian Wei, who entered Yinping, also got the latest battle report, and Gongsun Zhan commanded the army to take over all the defense of Wenshan!

The situation was stalemate all of a sudden.

The Shuzhong Army, Dian Wei is not in his eyes, and Huang Zhong and Wen Chou naturally will not be in his eyes. You must know that whether it is Huang Zhong, Dian Wei or even Wen Chou, they used to be the governors of one party and held high powers. Liu Tai sent this combination, which can already be said to be extremely important to Yizhou.

The three major governors joined forces, and there were 120,000 elite Tianci troops under their command, how could the miscellaneous army in Shu be an opponent? Even if the other party has natural risks, barriers, and the road to the sky, it will not be successful.

But Gongsun Chan is different!

In the past, Gongsun Chan was Liu Tai's great enemy. The name of the white horse from righteousness, even in today's northeast, is still prestigious, although it is not as good as the Jinyi guard, but it is also an ace cavalry unit. Now, Gongsun Chan has taken root in Yunnan, with Gongsun Chan's ability to join forces, how can he not have an ace army that is good at mountain warfare?

The shortcomings of the Tianci army are obvious, there is not enough mountain knowledge!

The geographical advantage is not in the heaven-sent army!

And the most powerful cavalry unit of the Tianci Army will be completely useless in the next battle, unless it breaks the pass and enters the hinterland of Shuzhong. But such a majestic pass as Jia Meng and Sword Pavilion, how can it be said that it can be broken?

It is worth mentioning that Liu Dai, who worked hard to assist Liu Miao to enter the central Shu region, finally couldn't survive the turn of fate, because Gongsun Zhan discussed all the matters, and finally helped Liu Miao again, returned to the Chengdu mansion, and Liu Dai, who was already exhausted, died safely.

Liu Dai is a respectable elder, at least when he treats Liu Miao, he is full of affection and reason. At the beginning, Liu Dai said when Liu Miao was proclaimed emperor that Liu Miao was not suitable to be an emperor, because Liu Miao did not have the life and ability.

And Liu Miao ignored Liu Dai's opposition and sat on the throne of the emperor. But then the fate of suffering also befell Liu Xuan, but Liu Dai, as an elder brother, did not blame Liu Xuan, and he has been assisting Liu Xuan on the side, and even during the Battle of Shuzhong, he personally went to the front of the two armies to command the battle.

It can be said that everything about Liu Miao, except for the throne, was given by Liu Dai, the elder brother. No one can say that Liu Dai is not a good brother!

At the same time as Liu Dai returned to heaven, the heartbroken Liu Miao issued an order to crown Liu Dai as the king of loyalty and righteousness, and the fief was Chengdu. Chengdu is Liu Xiang's national capital at this time, so it is equivalent to Liu Xiang giving his capital to his brother's heirs, which shows Liu Xiang's respect and debt to Liu Dai in his heart.

Huaxia 193, February 25.

The Battle of Qingzhou broke out completely!

Under the command of Gao Shun, 60,000 sailors went down the river and forcibly invaded Jinan, occupying Pingling, Tugu, Licheng, Taixian in the east of Jinan, and nine county towns in Zhuxian, Suxian, Dongchao, Zouping, and Liangzou.

After getting the news of the rout of Jinan County, Yuan Shao didn't seem to be nervous, but sent the major armies in an orderly manner, and strictly stationed them in the southwest, northwest, and north of Linzi, creating earthen walls and urn cities, and defending Linzi like an iron bucket.

It is worth mentioning that Yuan Shao once again ordered the recruitment of 200,000 soldiers and horses, and most of these 200,000 soldiers and horses came from Mount Tai and Yanzhou, and the location of the defense was not in Linzi, but in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, as if Yuan Shao's move was preparing a back road for himself.

Could it be that Yuan Shao had already lost confidence before the fight began?

Huaxia 193, early March.

The Battle of Yuzhou fell into an offensive and defensive battle, and Cao Ying, who personally commanded the operation in Xuchang, ordered 50,000 troops from Shouchun to be stationed in Xuchang. At the same time, Cao Ying personally wrote a letter and sent it to the princes in various places, the meaning of which was obvious, hoping that the princes could unite again.

It is a pity that this article obviously does not have enough appeal.

Except for Liu Bei of Yangzhou and Sun Jian of Jingnan, the other princes did not move at all. Among them, the situation in Nanyang is the most bizarre, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu seem to be on the bar, even if the Tianci army goes south, you still ask me every day, and the rich land of Nanyang is full of holes, countless imperial tombs and various palaces are destroyed, and the stolen ones are stolen, and the situation is miserable.

In the 193rd year of Huaxia, in mid-March, Sun Jian of Jingnan suddenly announced the southern expedition!

Southern Expedition?? How could it be a southern expedition?

At present, the war situation in the Central Plains is extremely critical, seeing that Liu Tai has the potential to sweep the world, at this moment, Sun Jian will not go north for a long time, how can he still go south?

It's a pity that what Sun Jian announced was indeed the Southern Expedition!

According to the document announcing the world, it is written that the Nanban and Shanyue tribes have repeatedly invaded the counties of Jiaozhou, causing the people of the counties of Jiaozhou to be in dire straits, and life is worse than death, in order to relieve the people in the sea of fire, Sun Jian disregarded the hardships, and once again personally led the troops to the south to conquer the Nanban Baidong tribe in the Yinan region, and the scale of Sun Jian's southern expedition was initially set at about 30,000.

At the same time, Sun Ce's appointment as the governor of Jiaozhou was also a statement to the world, in order to add icing on the cake, Sun Jian ordered people to bring yellow, white and jade things to Chengdu, Shu County, to ask Liu Miao for a sealed holy decree.

Liu Jian was very polite, at least he didn't mean to embarrass Sun Jian on the issue of Sun Ce. On the spot, Liu Miao issued an order to appoint Sun Ce as the general of Jiaozhou Mu and Zhenyi, and added the title of Marquis of Gao Liang, and thousands of households in the city. Such a reward reached Sun Jian's ears, which immediately made Sun Jian laugh, and ordered someone to send a good gift to Chengdu.

In the same month.

After Sun Jian got enough benefits from Sun Jian, Liu Miao was very moved, and after being recognized by the major strategists, Liu Miao ordered the general Yuan Shao to be the pastor of Qingzhou and the pastor of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. And gave Yuan Shao a sword to kill the king, and the holy decree stated that as long as Yuan Shao can defeat the Tianci army and kill Liu Tai, he can get all the inheritance of Liu Tai, and Liu Miao will crown him king!

Not only Yuan Shao, but Liu Xuan also sandwiched Cao Ying, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and other remnant princes. In the holy decree, Liu Miao also specially opened a small stove for Lu Bu, hoping that Lu Bu, who was still fighting in Nanyang, could come to Shuzhong to assist him, and guaranteed that as long as Lu Bu could come to Shuzhong, there would be no shortage of high-ranking officials, and it would be possible to be crowned king!

Lu Bu was moved, when he got this holy decree, Lu Bu was really moved, but Lu Bu still retained his sanity and knew that he couldn't agree to Liu Miao at once, in case he jumped into Liu Xuan's pit, it would be a big trouble. Lu Bu is not a fool, how could he agree when he subconsciously senses danger?

And Liu Miao thought that Lu Bu was still not satisfied with his conditions, so Liu Miao rewarded Lu Bu lavishly, and sent a carload of gold and jade, and even beautiful maids to Nanyang to wait for Lu Bu. Money, women, and Liu Miao have all been given, as long as Lu Buken agrees, then the high-ranking officials will definitely not be far away.
