"Zhang Liao was caught off guard, was caught off guard by my 500,000 army, was defeated, and now he is fleeing to the east, Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, and Wang Shuang are pursuing, and it is expected that this victory will not be small."

"Except that I didn't count Cao Zhang's sneak attack on Chang'an, it can be called a perfect strategy, is this really what Xun'er came up with?"

Liu Zhang already knew the strategic layout of the Sichuan army this time, and the only thing he didn't expect was that Cao Zhang didn't leave a way back and raided Chang'an from the northern wasteland, which was almost the same as Deng Ai's sneak attack on Shuzhong in history.

Except for this, the rest of the layout is very reasonable, and the general arrangement is in place.

Especially in the Central Plains, the 200,000 troops pretended to advance north, but actually reached the Heluo area, and then launched a surprise attack from the rear of Zhang Liao.

No matter how smart Zhang Liao and Xun Yu were, they would not have thought that the Sichuan army would ignore Lan Ying's threat, and under the front and back attacks, Zhang Liao would be defeated no matter what.

Although Liu Xun studied with Zhou Budo for a few years, his talent was there, and Liu Zhang still didn't believe that it was the first time for Liu Xun to command such a big battle and be so orderly.

Sure enough, Huang Yue stood up and took out a stack of booklets and handed them to Liu Zhang: "Husband, this is a proposal written by Zhou Budo, originally Zhou Budo didn't want to take it out, and all orders have been issued in the name of Xun'er since then."

But that night, Cao's army broke through the Xicheng Urn City, and Zhou Budo handed these over to me, asking me to announce them after the war, and blame him for all the faults in this battle. ”

Liu Zhang flipped through the booklet casually, closed the book, and sighed: "Zhou Budo ...... this person"

Liu Zhang didn't know what to comment on, Zhou Budo was born not to chase fame and fortune, Liu Zhang knew. Born to like to say taboo words, I don't care about my life or death. Liu Zhang also knows.

But Liu Zhang didn't expect Zhou Budo to sacrifice his reputation.

Zhou Budo has already been "defeated" once. Tens of thousands of troops were lost, and the Sichuan army was defeated unprecedentedly.

If Chang'an is defeated this time, and it is rumored that it is Zhou Budo who planned it, then it will be happy, Zhou Budo pretended to be a prodigy, lost tens of thousands of troops in the first war, and pushed the strong Sichuan army into the abyss of a corner of peace. That's the opposite of the eternal textbook.

Even the original tongue of Xu Jing was contrasted with his cleverness.

In ancient times, there were snobbish people who didn't care about personality, they cared about glory and wealth.

In ancient times, there were mediocre people who didn't care about merit, but about life and death.

In ancient times, there were ambitious kings who didn't care about fame, but about fame and great deeds.

In ancient times, there were well-dressed people who didn't care about life and death, but about fame and honor.

But like Zhou Budo. Glory and wealth, life and death. Fame, fame, honor and disgrace, all of which I don't care about, really don't have it, at least Liu Zhang can't find it.

And Zhou Budo did all this, all for the Sichuan Army, for Liu Xun, and for himself, even if Zhou Budo was much younger than himself, Liu Zhang was very grateful to him.

"The front line is a big victory, we should put a celebration wine for the front-line soldiers, what are you doing with the lights in this palace?" Liu Zhang asked.

"It's not just for the front line." Huang Yue said with a smile: "This is for the wedding ceremony of my husband, I discussed it with the military division of Yueying, and she said that she can do it first without reporting to her husband."

First, it is for the husband's new marriage, and second, the front-line generals, and the young generals and soldiers with enough merits can come to the palace to participate in the banquet as a reward. Third, you can take this opportunity to reward the three armies and boost the morale of the army. ”

Liu Zhang felt uncomfortable, but he looted some treasures in the Western Regions, most of the treasury of dozens of countries hidden by Latia were brought back by himself, and although the gold masks and other handicrafts in the underground palace of Loulan were not taken, all the ready-made silver and gold were recovered.

That's a lot of money, and it's a big reward.

But Liu Zhang felt that it was not easy to make some money, so he sent it out like this, and he couldn't get it much.

But after thinking about it, Liu Zhang understood Huang Yueying's intentions, gold and silver cannot be used for eating, and when food productivity is insufficient, gold and silver cannot buy food, so it is better to spend it, so that business can prosper a little.

And the biggest effect is that after returning from the Western Regions this time, and after this big battle, after rewarding the three armies, it can comprehensively improve the morale of the Sichuan army and prepare for the final battle of unification.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang was not so distressed, and said to Huang Yue: "You tell Yueying that this money is divided into three parts, and one part is used to reward the army, but you can't be in a hurry, and wait for the Jiangdong and Jiaozhou battles to arrive."

The second part was handed over to Zhang Song, the amount was the amount that the merchants in Shuzhong had been deceived by Latia before, and let Yueying tell Zhang Song that the money would be given to them in the form of interest-free loans for five years according to the losses of each merchant at the beginning, and if they were not repaid within five years, they would be calculated at normal interest. ”

"That's not good, is it?" Huang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "The money was originally theirs?" ”

"Who said that?" Liu Zhang said disapprerovingly: "This money was deceived by Lathia and taken back by me, who is to blame for their own defraud?" As a businessman, you dare to take risks.

The people of the Western Regions defrauded me of the money of the Han people, and as the commander of the Han army, I have the responsibility to recover it, but this is only the dignity of the Han people, not to collect debts from them.

Unless they can compensate the dead soldiers of our Sichuan army in the Western Regions and the money and food consumed, this money will be the treasury. ”

Huang Yue and Wang Xu had nothing to say, they only felt that their husbands and monarchs would repay their debts.

But Liu Zhang himself doesn't think that this is a bad debt, and there is no reason for businessmen to find the country at a loss.

And often businessmen find the state at a loss, and the state makes up for the losses for the businessmen, which is the beginning of the business kidnapping the country, and later more and more commercial interests, businessmen will force the country to come out, so that the country will become a tool for businessmen to make profits.

This is something that Liu Zhang must put an end to.

This time he handed over the money to Zhang Song, in order to nip the idea of businessmen pinning their commercial interests on the power of the state, from the bud, if it were not for the fear that some families would go bankrupt without these money, Liu Zhang would not have bothered to take out interest-free loans.

"What about the third part?" Huang Yue asked.

"The third part went to the treasury and told Yueying that the money should be at least enough for the reward of 500,000 peasants."

Encouraging farmers is a policy formulated by the Sichuan army to encourage farming according to the situation that the government treasury has more money and less grain, and whenever the output of each mu of land exceeds the output, or the labor results of the whole family exceed the production expectation, the government will give subsidies and rewards, so as to encourage the people to be diligent.

But Liu Zhang left the gold and silver, not for the regular reward, but for the sake of waiting for the jars of pumpkin seeds and sweet potatoes in the underground palace of Loulan, as well as bigger peanuts.

If that sweet potato can really be grown, and it can be as high as a sweet potato, then the Sichuan army will not have to worry about food in the future.

Liu Zhang decided to try planting on the land of Guanzhong, a lot of land in Guanzhong is still terra nullius, but it is also fertile land, just used to plant these, if the planting is successful, Liu Zhang will be planted in Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yunnanzhou, Yongzhou, including Xiliang.

In order for farmers to be able to plant fresh crops with confidence, Liu Zhang can only use money to tempt, and the gold and silver left behind are used to subsidize the people, regardless of the yield, as long as they are planted in accordance with the regulations, they can be rewarded per mu.

Without material guarantees, the peasants would not dare to joke about grain, and if the risks of the peasants were eliminated with gold and silver, the peasants would naturally be willing to accept these new crops.

"Well, okay, I'll tell the Yue Ying military division, it's just husband, there is one last question now."

Huang Yue raised his eyes to look at Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang felt that Huang Yue's eyes had a deep meaning, and there was a joke, so he asked cautiously, "What's the problem?" ”

"Well, the only problem is that neither Lathia nor Sun Shangxiang wants to marry you."

After Huang Yue finished speaking, he smiled, and the soldiers behind him almost laughed, Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then became angry: "It's still upside down, you go and tell Latia that she has to marry if she doesn't want to, if she doesn't want to marry, I will marry forcefully, and I'm used to having problems." ”

Liu Zhang said in a rough voice, and his tone softened: "As for Sun Shangxiang, I'll ask, if you don't want to marry, forget it." ”

For so long, Liu Zhang hasn't seen Sun Shangxiang, he married Liu Bei in history, I heard that his personality is very pungent, but it's a pity that his life is not good, and after being deceived by Zhou Yu back to Jiangdong, he died alone.

Liu Zhang was just about to go out, Huang Yueying and a few generals walked over together, it seemed that there was something big, Huang Yueying walked up to Liu Zhang: "Lord, someone has come to serve you." ”

Liu Zhang looked at the expressions of Huang Yueying and the generals behind him, and frowned: "What person?" Is it very talented? ”

"It's a big talent." Huang Yueying paused as she spoke, looked at the vulture bone next to her, the vulture bone didn't speak, Su Lan spoke first, arched her hand to Liu Zhang, and said in jerky Chinese: "Lord, it's Wang Yue, you can't accept him, Wang Yue hurt my husband, and the wound is not healed until now, let alone using force, you can't walk vigorously." ”

"Daughter-in-law, I'm fine." The vulture bone waved his hand indifferently, but it affected the wound in his chest and gritted his teeth in pain.

Wang Yue's sword was really deep, the flesh as thick as the vulture's bone, it was actually bloody, and it was still bleeding, and it was difficult to heal such a deep wound.

The vulture bone had never been injured in his life, and he was so seriously injured the first time, no wonder Su Lan was distressed.

But Liu Zhang looked at the vulture, and the vulture said that he didn't care, but he actually cared, similar to Su Lan's care, but not because of himself.

Wang Yue killed so many soldiers of the Vine Armor Army, and when the Vine Armor Army blocked Wang Yue, because he was not used to defense, the Vine Armor had no effect on the tear stain sword, and there were countless casualties.

The vultures had never been injured, but this time they were seriously injured, so Su Lan was angry.

And the vine armor army generally suffered very few casualties, but this time there were so many casualties in the hands of Wang Yue alone, these are all brothers brought out by the vulture bone from the Ugo country, and if one dies and one is less, can the vulture not feel distressed? Can you not resent Wang Yue? (To be continued......)
