Chapter 179 Separation?

Hearing Sang Weihan talk about the Chuanguo Yixi, Cao Yuanzhong asked in surprise: "Didn't the Chuanguo Yixi be destroyed in the sea of fire along with Li Congke?" ”

Sang Weihan's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said: "I have long heard that the Tiance Army has many eyes and ears in Luoyang, and now it seems that it is true, the monks who will snatch the yΓΉ seal from the sea of fire that day, I am afraid that it is also the deployment of the Tiance Army, right?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "What monk? ”

Sang Weihan said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Cao doesn't know about this matter, so it should be arranged by that Monk Lu?" But it's a pity that those monks couldn't get out of Luoyang City, and they all fell into the hands of Brother Xiao in the end.

Cao Yuanzhong said: "So, the inheritance of the country is in the hands of Brother Sang?" Then why didn't Shi Jingjiao take it out and order the world? Brother Mo Feisang didn't go up after he got the yΓΉ seal, so he couldn't swallow it alone? ”

Sang Weihan snorted and said, "Brother Cao is laughing!" Although this heirloom is the most precious thing in the world, it is not something that everyone is qualified to bear, and if Sang Weihan swallows this thing, there will only be a curse, not a benefit. ”

"So after you succeeded, Jiao gave Shi Jingjiao?" Cao Yuanzhong asked.

"Exactly!"

Cao Yuanzhong said: "If that's the case, then why don't you see Shi Jingjiao take it out?" ”

Sang Weihan said: "At the beginning, my lord promised to cede the sixteen states of Yanyun, so Yelu Deguang agreed to send troops, and then Yelu Deguang sent troops to help my lord defeat Zhang Jingda and conquer Luoyang City. ”

"This verbal promise is about the inheritance of the country?"

"Yes." Sang Weihan said: "My lord verbally promised that if he found the seal of the country, he would definitely dedicate it to Yelu Deguang. ”

Cao Yuanzhong scolded: "I knew that your lord was shameless, but I never thought that it would be so shameless that he might even pass on the country's seal to others." ”

Sang Weihan said lightly: "The eldest husband has made great contributions, as long as he can get the world, it is the soup made by his biological father, and the rou cakes made by his biological son can also be sweet, don't Han Gaozu and King Wen of Zhou achieve great success because of this?" The father is willing to give up, what is the seal carved from a broken stone! What's more, my lord didn't give the country to Yelu Deguang in the end. ”

"I see." Cao Yuanzhong said: "Right now, your lord still needs to curry favor with the Khitans, so he doesn't dare to break the contract, but if he can get rid of the Khitan shroud one day, Shi Jingjiao will claim to the outside world that he has found the heirloom of the country, right?" ”

Sang Weihan stroked his palm and smiled: "Exactly." ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Then now Shi Jingjiao is planning to use this heirloom to make Jiao Yi with our marshal?" ”

"Not bad." Sang Weihan said: "This treasure is in your hands and mine, it is just a priceless antique treasure, but if it is in the hands of Marshal Zhang, the power it can produce is unlimited-this must not need me to say, Brother Cao should understand." ”

Cao Yuanzhong also knew that if the heirloom seal that had been passed down from generation to generation since Qin Shi Huang finally fell into the hands of Zhang Mai, it would be of great help to establish the name of Emperor Zhang Mai! It can even influence the belief of people all over the world, believing that Zhang Mai is the destiny of heaven, and has an immeasurable influence on the morale of the people in the Central Plains.

Hearing this, Cao Yuanzhong couldn't help but sink up, and said, "Can Shi Jingjiao really be willing to pass on the country's seal?" Isn't he afraid that our marshal will ascend the throne and be the emperor after getting the yΓΉ seal, and command the world? The so-called name is right, with the current military strength of my Tiance, if there is a call to pass on the country, when the time comes, the Eastern Crusade will be passed on and the unification will be completed, hehe, at that time, Shi Jingjiao is afraid that he will even lose his ancestral grave! ”

Sang Weihan said: "This point, my lord naturally understands, but if it is not such a heavy treasure, it is expected that it will be difficult to shake Marshal Zhang's decision." Moreover, my lord does not have many intentions, but only hopes to have a truce with Marshal Zhang, and the two sides will turn hostility into yΓΉsilk and conclude a brotherly alliance for a period of three years. ”

"Three years?" Cao Yuanzhong said: "What about three years later? ”

"After three years, Marshal Zhang can choose to renew the former alliance," Sang Weihan said, "Of course, there are other choices. He paused here and said in a low voice: "Brother Cao, this matter is just a respite for my lord, and Marshal Yu Zhang is just a chance to correct his name - but Brother Cao, if he can promote this matter and further persuade him, then Brother Cao will have a great merit for Marshal Zhang!" I know that within the army today, I don't know how many people want to support, and the number one supporter would not have been able to take Brother Cao's turn, but with this treasure, it may make Brother Cao the first minister under Marshal Zhang! ”

Cao Yuanzhong was also shocked when he heard it, although Zhang Mai claimed to avenge Li Congke, but Cao Yuanzhong knew very well that Li Congke was actually not a fart in Zhang Mai's heart, compared to the invisible power brought by the inheritance of the country-such as the belief of the people in the world in "luck", the three-year truce period was actually nothing.

"What's more, Shi Jingjiao needs to breathe, don't we need to recuperate?" Cao Yuan said loyally: "If you can get the seal of the country, the morale of the whole army will be greatly boosted at that time, and the Central Plains soldiers will also be attached to the wind. ”

――――――――――――

Cao Yuanzhong said goodbye to Sang Weihan out, and suddenly heard that Zhang Xichong had a sudden illness, he thought that at this time, he might not be a good opportunity to introduce Sang Weihan, and two days later, Zhang Xichong died of illness in the army, he came too quickly this illness, since Zhang Mai was all surprised, Zhang Mai cried in Luguan: "Zhang Linggong's death, let me lose a dry city in the Tang Dynasty!" ”

What was supposed to be a prosperous era turned into a funeral, and rumors began to spread in the Guanzhong area, believing that this was a sign that the Tiance army had turned from prosperity to decline. [Ye*] [*] These rumors were originally unfounded, but they fit the psychology of the public, so they spread quickly.

Although Zhang Mai has tens of thousands of people in Luguan, Lu Jialing found out that Chang'an was guarded by a large army, Shi Jingjiao personally inspected Tongguan, Liu Zhiyuan transferred troops in Hedong, and seemed to have the intention of crossing the Yellow River at any time.

This is the military horses gathered in Luguan with 10,000 elite cavalry under Zhang Mai as the core, if Zhang Mai supports the south, he can reach the north of the Wei River in a few days, knock on the gate of Chang'an, but this 10,000 cavalry field battle can not be afraid of any military momentum, but to conquer Chang'an City, which is bigger and stronger than Samarkand, and has been defended, it is a joke.

Of course, with Zhang Mai's special troops, there is another way to threaten Chang'an: that is, the cavalry plunders the entire Guanzhong Plain. In the current situation, Shi Jingjiao is unable to respond effectively to this, but how does Zhang Mai do this? He learned about this, and in the eyes of the Central Plains people, he was no different from the Xiongnu and Turks.

Guo Wei, Li Yiyin, Fan Zhen, and Lu Jialing all advised Zhang Mai to withdraw for the time being, Guo Wei said: "This eastward trip, after all, is just a temptation, now that the goal has been achieved, what is the benefit of staying longer?" ”

Li Yiyin also said: "Chang'an is a strong city, if you want to conquer it, you must gather hundreds of thousands of troops!" If the marshal really wants to take Chang'an to avenge the Tang lord, he doesn't have to remember it for a while. ”

Lu Jialing said: "According to the report, the armament in Chang'an City is complete, and the soldiers will come and go frequently. ”

Zhang Mai sighed: "Just let Shi Jingjiao's head hang for a few more days!" ”

Since then, the army has returned to the west, and after Zhang Mai returned to Liangzhou, the tense parties were relieved.

At this time, it was already the time of net summer, it was the agricultural slack period, and it was the most frequent time for business travel activities, the Far West Twin Cities under the auspices of Liu An, although the castle had not yet been completed, but the affiliated towns had already prospered, I don't know how many business travelers came from the far west, because Guo Luo had reached an agreement with the Bouweich brothers, the Silk Road extended more far, and the Bowechy brothers needed military resources to try to dominate the world, so they also protected the business travelers along the way to collect taxes. The trade route not only stretched along Lì to Baghdad, but also to Europe, Egypt and even Tunisia.

On the Indian side, Guo Bian also made great achievements, although the political situation of the second big 6 was bad, but the wealth of this region was not under the Central Plains, and a large number of merchants and travelers embarked on the road to Shule.

Some of them are still on the road, some of them have already gone out, and in winter they seek shelter from the cold, and when the snow melts this year, they will rush away. In this era, communications were backward, and the affairs of the East could not be transmitted to the West in time, so many merchants did not know about the tense war situation in the northern Qin region last winter, nor did they know the imminent tension of this year's netting day. And by the time they reached the halfway point, the shape of the east had eased down.

These business trips have departed, and the fastest ones have reached Qiuzi. After another month, Liangzhou and Lanzhou will be busy, and the best prosperity of the year has arrived!

The Silk Road rolls with an unprecedented flow of business, and after half a month, this kind of busyness will spread to the Shijin Longyou area, and after another month, Luoyang and Chengdu are also crowded, and at the same time, there are also merchants from Jiangnan and even Lingnan who came to Luoyang and Chengdu, which are Lanzhou and Liangzhou!

In this midsummer season, all kinds of taxes poured into the pockets of the customs officials on all sides like flowing water, and Zheng Wei collected the money softly - if the taxes alone were alone, it was actually impossible to offset the huge military expenses owed in the past two years because of the war, but with the prosperity of Liangzhou, Lanzhou, and Ganzhou, the land prices rose, and the areas in the cities of Liang and Lan were already underused, Zheng Wei took the opportunity to propose the expansion of the city, and expanded the cities of Liangzhou and Lanzhou by one-third, all for business and accommodation. Half of the land in the new urban area to be expanded was released for pre-sale, and the pre-sale price was set extremely high, but it was robbed in only half a month, and the money from the land sale plus the midsummer tax actually made up for the military deficit in the past two years.

Zhang Mai asked Zheng Wei to raise a new treasury bond again, and in June he raised a huge amount of money close to the tax revenue of the Tiance army for a year, and after this money was put into the treasury, Zhang Mai quickly allocated it to the military. As for where it will be used, even the correction desk is unknown!

Some merchants complained about this, which had never been done before.

――――――――――――

"It seems that Zhang Mai still refuses to give up foreign expansion!" In Chengdu, Zhao Jiliang replied to Wang.

For example, Hou Shu can know very lightly that the Tiance regime is running national bonds, and even estimate the scale of the treasury bonds from the hot chao purchased, while the correction and evaluation station is a supervisory body with a wide range of members, so it cannot completely guarantee that it will not be infiltrated, and some information will inevitably be known to the outside world.

"However, the shape of the shΓ¬ is different now from before." Wang Chu replied: "Now all the countries except the Khitan are heavy on business travel, in this busy commercial assembly, if Zhang Mai forcibly invades the east and disturbs the entire Silk Road, then he is going against the sky, then he is digging his own grave!" ”

A large part of the financial revenue of the Tiance regime comes from the tax of the Yanchang field, and the power of the merchants has risen unconsciously, and even Shi Jin has attached importance to commerce, not to mention the Tiance army.

"In the past, the entire Silk Road was cut into dozens of sections, and every expansion of Zhang Mai was to allow merchants to go further, which was in their interests, but now," Wang said, "Now the Silk Road has been unblocked, and even Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao saw that Zhang Mai had gained great profits on the Silk Road, and they also followed the implementation of policies that were beneficial to this. ”

Zhao Jiliang said: "Then do you think that the world will be peaceful from now on?" ”

"How is that possible!" Wang Chuhui sneered: "That Zhang Mai invaded into a xΓ¬ng, although he didn't make a move in Luguan at the beginning of the year, but the tentative intention was very obvious, he didn't attack Chang'an, he just couldn't do it." Now that he has money in his hands, he is afraid that he will do something again. However, reckless military force is not the best way to govern the country! If Zhang Mai really wants to act against the sky, I am afraid that he will succeed in the Tiance army, and he will also be defeated! ”

Zhao Jiliang nodded and said: "Yes, in the current form, the countries check and balance each other, not only the merchants are happy, but even the farmers can enjoy this peace." The outcome of the war is not just decided on the battlefield, since it is the will of the people, if Zhang Mai must walk against the current, the Tiance army will definitely not have a good end! ”

Wang Chu replied: "Then it depends on the interior of Liangzhou, how to choose." ”

――――――――――――

Outside the city of Suzhou, a group of caravans rested in the wilderness because they missed the lodging, they formed a circle with camels and carriages, lit a bonfire in the center, and sent people to take turns to keep vigil. Thanks to the efforts of the Tiance Army over the years, the law and order of Hexi Province has always been very good, and the best time for a good regime to be safe and secure is usually not its most prosperous morale, but its initial period.

slept until midnight, when suddenly a strange sound sounded in the distance, and everyone woke up and sent someone to investigate, but the person sent did not go far before he was intercepted.

The strange sound seemed to be thousands of horses running, and it seemed to be a large army in action, but why was the army sleeping?

The merchants were anxious and worried all night, and when it was dawn nothing happened. The brains of the caravan gathered the leader of the big xiao and warned: "Last night's vision, there must be something important, but this matter must be confidential, and everyone must not talk nonsense after entering the city." Otherwise, you will get into trouble! ”
