But it's okay to do this, the Xiongnu garrison is controlled by the Han people, even if it is hostile, after the Sichuan army conquers Wu Jun, it will also be Han soil.

"In addition, with our secret support, the Northern Zhelanying has completely established a foothold in the western grasslands, and with the order left by the original lord, Zhou Budo led an army of 80,000 to attack the Di people.

Zhe Lanying left Zhuge Liang to guard the Hetao, personally sent troops to fight with Zhou Budo, defeated Zhou Budo, captured 40,000 of us, and now these 40,000 people have become a powerful force of the Di people, and it is the descendant of Zhe Lanying, because of the growth of power, all the swinging tribes in the western grasslands have taken refuge in Zhe Lanying.

Zhe Lanying's Di people now have 100,000 troops, and they can already compete with the four Xianbei forces in the eastern grassland, but ......"

Huang Yueying smiled when she said this: "Zhou Budo has now become the number one laughing stock in the ages, even worse than Zhao Kuo."

After the defeat at the beginning, Zhou Budo was demoted of all his official positions, and the government confiscated all the property of the Zhou family, plus the meritorious service of counterinsurgency in Chengdu, he was barely spared death.

Now whether it is our Sichuan land or Cao Cao's Sun Quan territory, everyone talks about Zhou Budo after dinner, saying that Zhou Budo is just a strong debate at the beginning, his mouth is ruthless and he has no ability, and he still relies on Liu Xun's relationship to get to the top, and the milk smell has not dried up, and he actually wants to unify the army......"

Huang Yueying said Zhou Budo's matter, her tone was relaxed, Liu Zhang knew that Huang Yueying knew it, but Zhou Budo didn't care at all, Huang Yueying also said it like this, if she said righteous indignation, it was hypocritical, but everyone knew Zhou Budo's sacrifice.

Liu Zhang felt a little sorry for Zhou Budo, Zhou Budo had no intention of pursuing a career, and he could be regarded as inducing him to take this step step by step. But at his last command. Deliberately ruined him.

The debate is strong. can't fight, young and frivolous, the smell of milk has not dried, and taking advantage of Liu Xun's relationship to ascend to the top, all these factors together will definitely make Zhou Budo stink for 10,000 years.

It also affected Zhou Budo's family, and the people of the family definitely didn't know that Zhou Budo was deliberately defeated, and now those family members whose property was confiscated. I don't know how to hate Zhou Budo.

It can be said that in the current world, the family, and the later generations, Zhou Budo was ruined.

And such a huge price is that he used some modern scientific knowledge to come by accident, Liu Zhang felt embarrassed when he thought of this, and at the same time he was very grateful to Zhou Budo.

But no matter how grateful Zhou Budo was, Liu Zhang still asked: "Does this matter have an impact on Xun'er's reputation?" ”

Huang Yueying knew what Liu Zhang was referring to. Shaking his head: "Don't worry, the lord didn't doubt that Zhou was a teacher." The young lord is a resolute opponent, but he can't stand the advice of a few courtiers, at least it seems to the outside world that Zhou Budo is defeated, and the reputation of the young lord has not only not been lost, but his prestige has become stronger. ”

After Huang Yueying finished speaking, she added: "This is also what Zhou Budo originally arranged." Huang Yueying said this solemnly, obviously at this moment Huang Yueying respected Zhou Budo, even if Zhou Budo was nearly ten years younger than her.

Liu Zhang was silent for a long time, took a breath of relief, and asked indifferently, "What about our situation?" ”

"According to the Lord's decree, we did not increase our troops, and for the restoration of Guanzhong, Yueying took matters into his own hands and disarmed 100,000, as the main force in the construction of Guanzhong, and now our army strength is 600,000.

In terms of fiscal taxation, because of the prosperity of commerce and the large-scale investment of banks, there is still more money and less grain, but the large-scale cultivation of rice in Zhancheng, as well as many imported crops in the south, are very drought and flood tolerant, and many of the land that was difficult to grow in the past are utilized.

In addition to the increase in subsidies to encourage farming, this autumn has produced a bumper harvest, hoarded a lot of surplus grain, and greatly improved the people's lives.

In addition, because of the increase in the number of craftsmen's houses, the young lord ordered the central government to set up an additional bureau of tools, and hundreds of seven-round crossbows were produced, and there were follow-up production plans, and the ten-round crossbows were planned to produce 100 units, which were installed in Tongguan, Qingni Pass and other dangerous places.

The single-shot crossbow is planned to produce about 2,000, and in the past, because of the shortage of money and food, there were very few single-shot crossbows, and now the kind of battlefield sniping that the lord used to dream of in Xiangyang can definitely take shape.

In addition, there is a production plan for compound bows, and the young master and I both think that the archers are a sharp weapon on the battlefield, if it is not for the complex assembly procedures of the compound bows, and the technical secrecy, the production is too slow, and the 100,000 archers will also benefit us.

We received an order from the lord to send a large number of people to Gaochang to search for black wood rattan, hoarding the treasury of Chang'an, I believe that as long as the general of the vulture bone returns, our rattan armor workshop can operate, how much rattan armor to produce, depending on the rattan armor process and cost decision. ”

Liu Zhang listened to Huang Yueying's words and knew that he had nothing to worry about, no matter whether Sun Quan was decadent or not, no matter how many troops Cao Cao expanded.

The Sichuan army has the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the world's first Sichuan infantry, and the main cavalry infantry is invincible.

There are so many advanced crossbow arrows, as well as archers and cavalry, and the rattan armor army, which are enough to look down on Cao Cao and Sun Quan, but they themselves don't know what the Sichuan army they are facing is like.

What Wu Jun, it's just a clown jumping beam.

"Yueying, you guys did a great job." Liu Zhang nodded: "But in addition, we also have to form a strong army, I hope to see a pure Dawan horse cavalry galloping in the Central Plains." ”

"Dawan horse cavalry?" Huang Yueying suddenly remembered an important reason for the Sichuan army's westward expedition, that is, Shache detained the golden fat man's Dawan horse, so Dawanma can also be regarded as a target of the Sichuan army's westward expedition.

Liu Zhang said: "Now that the Western Regions have basically been pacified, from Loulan to Wusun, they are all the deterrence of our Han Dynasty, as long as we defeat the Guishan army, Dawan is in our pocket."

Hundreds of years ago, because the Xiongnu were strong in the north, the first emperor Xiaowu Emperor could only introduce Dawan horses from the south of the Tianshan Mountains, Dawan horses passed through the harsh climate environment, and food was not guaranteed, all the transportation of 5,000 Dawan horses, and finally only 1,000 remained.

Now that Wusun and the north of the Tianshan Mountains are our places, Zhe Lanying will also transfer the main force to Hetao on the grounds of guarding against Xianbei in the east, and no one will stop us from transporting horses.

The king planned to set up post stations at every distance from Wusun to the entire northern steppe, and to do nothing else, but to provide fodder and water for the horses along the way, and to prepare a large amount of medicine for each station.

Horses through the north than through the south of the Tianshan Mountains much more convenient, the terrain is also conducive to the gallop of war horses, and then choose a dry autumn horse, plus horseshoes to enhance the endurance of the horse, the king believes that the war horse will not die much, at most two percent, it is estimated that we can get 20,000 Dawan horses this time.

"Twenty thousand? That's all Dawan's horses, right? Huang Yueying and Pang Tong were shocked at the same time.

"It would be nice to leave some horses and a few head horses for them, the winner is king."

Liu Zhang said lightly. The meaning of this sentence is to completely defeat Dawan, the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only had 5,000 horses back then, the first is that the consumption of transporting so many horses is huge.

And the most important reason is that the Han only defeated the Dawan, but not completely, and the five thousand war horses were compensated to the Han as a defeated country.

But this time Liu Zhang obviously doesn't plan to just tickle, all the countries in the Western Regions have been taken military power, what is a Dawan, Dawan must also become a member of the Western Regions Protectorate, the military power is gone, Dawan Ma Yu is what he wants, and he can't afford to give it to Dawan, unless he wants to follow the example of the former country of Cheshi and be slaughtered.

"Don't worry, my lord." Huang Yueying thought about it for a while, it is true that the conditions for transporting war horses in the Sichuan army are much more advantageous than those in the Han Dynasty, and it should not be difficult to complete the task.

Liu Zhang let out a sigh: "Yueying, with you, no doubt, filial piety, as well as Zhang Ren Wei Yan, Huang Quan Li Yan and other civil and military personnel, I am also relieved."

It's just a few more points, for Zhelan, I hope she can help me pacify the northern grasslands, and I'm sure she will work hard to complete it, but some things are unavoidable.

Let's not talk about Zhuge Liang's problem, Zhuge Liang must be used, but it must also be guarded against, and for such a wise man, there must be a good reason to prevent it.

There is also the problem of the Di people, Zhelan now has 40,000 Han troops under his command, but after all, it is still a Di force, my suggestion is, do not try to let the Han people take the power of the Di people, but cultivate the pro-Han nature of the Di people, so that Zhelan can change the customs, so that the culture and habits of the Di people can move closer to the Han people and gradually assimilate, and you will implement it. ”

At the beginning, the Northern Wei Dynasty of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, that is, after Sinicization, ruled the north, but the upper class of the Xianbei tribe was also assimilated, but it is not easy to change customs and customs, which needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, but fortunately, one-third of the Di people in Zhelanying have been assimilated in Xiliang.

"The most important point for Zhelan's Diren army." Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yueying and said: "Even if Zhelan leads a Han army, and fights independently to defeat the north like this, it may not be our Han people, and it is likely to create a separatist force."

Yueying, you also know that the grassland is bitter and cold, and there is no food to eat, no matter who occupies it, no matter whether that force is sinicized or not, they must rob our Central Plains.

Therefore, you and Xun'er need to divide the forces of the Di people together with Zhelan before Zhelan dominates the grassland, and finally be controlled by us separately, and the ultimate goal is to achieve our goal of completely balancing the grassland, which is very difficult, but I hope you can do it, because this is related to the generations of China. ”

Huang Yueying frowned, she could fully imagine how difficult it was to achieve Liu Zhang's goal, Liu Zhang wanted to control the grassland separately and assimilate the grassland people, but the grassland was so bitter and cold, how much supplies would be needed to control the grassland every year? Isn't there any opposition in the court? Won't the people of the Central Plains have any complaints?

However, Huang Yueying quickly stretched her brows, since the Sichuan army can turn against the world, what is more difficult than this, not to mention that Liu Zhang confessed, even if his head is broken and bleeding must be completed, if the things he confesses are so easy to complete, what is the use of himself? (To be continued......)
