Chapter 272: It's Time for the Crusade
Feng Zhou conquered Chang'an in the first battle and occupied Jiangdong, which not only made his insiders completely surrender, but also caused shock and terror on Cao Wei's side, and the most direct result was that the emperor Cao Pi was killed, and the crown prince Cao Rui succeeded to the throne.
As for Sun Quan's side in Jiangdong, he was stubbornly suppressed by Cao Wei in Hefei, and was blocked by Guan Yu and Li Yan in the west, forcing Sun Quan to only fight Shanyue and conquer Ryukyu.
But this can't stop Sun Quan's ambitions,
He is forty-three years old, seeing that Cao Pi, who was the first to be the emperor, passed on the son Cao Rui, and Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, who was the emperor, directly occupied Yongliang, and even broke through the strong city of Chang'an in the world in one day, and firmly occupied Guanzhong.
When Cao Pi ascended the throne, he sent an envoy to congratulate, Liu Bei sent an envoy to congratulate when he ascended the throne, and he still sent an envoy to congratulate when Liu Chan ascended the throne.
When the envoy said the congratulatory message, it was always "Sun Quan, King of Wu", and when he said it, he was a grade lower than them, which made Sun Quan feel suffocated in his heart?
I think how embarrassed Liu Bei was when he defeated Changbanpo, and he had to take refuge in him to resist Cao Cao, and after so many years, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei has become extremely powerful, and its strength has surpassed that of Wei, and it is the first of the Three Kingdoms.
And he Jiangdong, not only did he not expand, but his power became weaker and weaker, he is an old prince, but he has to look at the faces of the two little emperors, Liu Chan and Cao Rui.
This is really unbearable for uncles, and can't be endured by aunts.
Therefore, he began to plan, ready to do a big thing.
He will also be emperor.
Since the last defeat of Jingzhou, nearly five or six years have passed, and now Jiangdong's strength has finally recovered, but it is a pity that those generals who died in Jingzhou can never make up for it, so even if there are 100,000 standing soldiers and horses, Sun Quan still does not dare to be the emperor.
The emperor is not so easy to be, this needs to have enough strength to support, at least to have good deeds.
But the land of Jiangdong, after all, is not as good as the land of the Central Plains of Qinchuan that opened hundreds of years earlier, no matter how hard he Sun Quan tried, limited by population and land, his strength was still insufficient, so he did not dare to be the emperor.
But Sun Zhongmou is already forty-three, he doesn't want to wait, and sees that the two families next door are all lonely, facing the south and the north. How can Sun Quan not be envious?
If he doesn't want to be the emperor again, will it be possible to be treated with that Liaodong Gongsun Gong in the history books in the future?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan was furious.
So he gathered his ministers, intending to win a hearty and fierce victory, and lay a firm foundation for his ascension to the throne and emperor.
But in this big victory, the target cannot be Jing Chu.
Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not capture Wancheng together, the troops were not greatly damaged, and the two generals of Leng Feng Shihuan still firmly guarded Jiangxia, and Li Yan was also at ease against Yuzhang County of Eastern Wu, and Jiangdong could not advance westward at all.
You can't go west, you can only go north.
Even if Hefei cannot be conquered, the Wei army will be severely damaged.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan carefully stroked his purple beard, thinking of his relationship between Poyang Taishou Zhou Yi and Shanyue Sect Marshal, a meticulous plan gradually emerged in his mind.
......
At this time, in Chang'an City, Feng Zhou was sitting with Zhuge Liang and discussing.
Now the matter of moving the capital has been put on the table, because of the great martial arts of Feng Zhou, many families and ten clans in Yizhou have already felt the emperor's determination, and they have not thought of going against the emperor at all.
In addition, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Huang Quan and other famous people in Yizhou all supported the relocation of the capital, so this incident did not cause much turmoil.
However, after the relocation of the capital, the population and food were a big trouble.
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics of the ministers, there are now more than 68,000 households and more than 294,000 people in Guanzhong. ”
Feng Zhou nodded, sighed and said: "I think there were five million people in Guanzhong back then, but now, there are less than 300,000 left. ”
Zhuge Liang continued: "The people in Guanzhong are indeed too few, and the relocation of the capital to Chang'an is expected to bring about 130,000 people from Yizhou and Hanzhong. In addition, there were 120,000 garrisons in Guanzhong, as well as 100,000 Wei soldiers. By that time, so today, there were 640,000 people in Guanzhong. ”
Feng Zhou said: "The grain and grass can be temporarily supported by Yizhou Hanzhong, but the infrastructure must be started as soon as possible, I think that the 100,000 Wei troops can be used to practice water conservancy and reclaim the fields. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Shengming!"
"There is one more thing, I want to discuss it with the prime minister. Feng Zhou said: "The second uncle and the third uncle are already over sixty years old, and they are all white, I consider calling them back to Chang'an, Jing Chu is handed over to Li Yan to be in charge, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Ma Liang, Leng Feng, Shi Huan and others assist, in addition, the eldest brother Liu Feng, who has guarded the mediocre for many years, and the second uncle is a mutual angle, and he is also transferred. ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's words are far-sighted, and the ministers have no objections." ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are over sixty years old, and they have been attacking Wancheng for the past few months, but they are unable to advance under Sima Yi's defense, so Feng Zhou thought about transferring them back, on the one hand, to enrich the imperial court, and on the other hand, to let them support their old age, so that young people can come up.
After all, Guan Ping is forty-five years old, he has been named a township, and he has been fighting with his father all the year round, and he has already been trained, so it's time for him to take charge of himself.
Even if he can't beat Sima Yi, as long as he maintains the balance of power, so that Feng Zhou can calmly mobilize the attack in Guanzhong.
As for Liu Feng, the king of Chu, let him cooperate with Ma, Wei Yan and others to fight Qianghu, Xianbei, and Xiongnu. At least let his exploits overshadow Cao Cao's yellow beard.
As much as possible, the captive Han people were snatched back, and then the women and children of the Xiongnu Xianbei Qianghu were taken captive, so as to enrich the population of Guanzhong and contribute to the population growth of the Han Dynasty.
And Feng Zhou plans to concentrate his energy and work with Zhuge Liang to govern the pass.
In this way, when he rewarded his ministers, he also had enough households as food, right?
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it comes to the spring of 227 AD, that is, the third year of Ji Han Jianxing and the second year of Wei Taihe.
At this moment, it has been a year and a half since the closure of the boat to conquer Chang'an.
The palaces, civil ministers and military generals, hundreds of bureaucrats, and related people who stayed in Jinguan City also moved to Chang'an City.
The 100,000 Wei army captives, after the disrupted establishment, some of them did coolies to build water conservancy and reclaim fields, and the other part was led by Liu Feng, Wei Yan and others to the north to conquer the Xiongnu, Qianghu and Xianbei, not only to them heavy casualties, but also to take back countless cattle, sheep and horses, as well as a large number of people.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and the land of Guanzhong, where there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, has also begun to regain popularity.
The tens of thousands of Hu captives captured began to expand Chang'an City under the whip of the Han army.
Fengzhou wants to build a large city that can live in a million people.
So, at the first court meeting in Chang'an City, the boat was sealed and the ministers were rewarded.
Feng Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is the Marquis of Wugong, 3,000 households of Shiyi, Feng General Guan Yu is the Marquis of Xinfeng, 2,500 households of Shiyi, Zhang Fei, the general of the Che Cavalry, is the Marquis of Chiyang, 2,500 households, Feng Hussar General Ma is the Marquis of Xiping, 2,000 households of Shiyi, Feng Zhaoyun is General Wei, he is named Marquis of Xinyang, and 2,000 households of Shiyi.
As for Li Yan, Huang Quan, Mi Zhu, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wang Ping, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Gao Xiang, Chen Shi, Wu Tong, Zhang Wen, Leng Feng, Shi Huan, Jiang Wei and other military generals, they were all rewarded one by one according to the size of their merits, either as a township marquis, or as a pavilion marquis, or as a Guan Nei marquis.
As for Liu Feng, the king of Chu, he went on the Northern Expedition this year, captive tens of thousands of Hu people and countless livestock, but the title could not be promoted, so he could only increase his food.
Feng Zhou saw that the courtiers were very excited, and smiled slightly: "This reward, just to summarize the past, we have to face the future, now Kanto Jiangdong, still in the hands of rebellion, I see that Sun Quan won the battle of Shiting, Cao Xiu died of shame and illness, the Wei army of Hefei, has been unable to threaten him, he is a generation of heroes, unwilling to fall behind, it is estimated that I want to emulate the old things of Yuan Highway, it is time for my generation of soldiers to fight against the east and reshape the country for the Han family." ”
He said lightly, all the ministers listened solemnly, he stood up, and said with a smile: "Now the soldiers are elite, the grain and grass are sufficient, I want to go east, personally lead the army, go east to Tongguan, and hunt in Luoyang with Cao Rui!"
As soon as he said this, all the ministers and generals bowed their hands together: "The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to the east to conquer Cao Wei, unify the Central Plains, and fulfill the last wish of the first emperor!"
