Chapter 266: The Scolding War Begins
Chang'an City stands in the hope of Weishui, all around, have dug a moat, lead to the water of the Wei River, and its river water through the city, it can be said that even if Chang'an is surrounded, Chang'an is not short of water.
What's more, Chang'an City has an army of 100,000 people, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food, and sufficient water, just like Liu Bei's army on the mountain of Anju Dingjun, like a nail on the land of Guanzhong.
If Ji Han wants to occupy Guanzhong, he has to conquer Chang'an.
And to storm Chang'an, I am afraid that I will have to pay a great price.
Looking at the majestic Chang'an city wall, Feng Zhou suddenly sighed.
"Why is Your Majesty sighing" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile as he looked like a fairy.
"Think about the Qin and Han dynasties, Chang'an was the capital of the world, how magnificent and majestic, now it seems that the scale is slightly smaller, but I am afraid that it is not as big as half of Jinguan City. ”
Jinguancheng now has 70,000 households, about 200,000 people, which is comparable to Luoyang, which is the credit of Zhuge Liang's painstaking management.
However, Zhuge Liang naturally did not boast, so he said directly: "Since the rebellion of Wang Mang in the previous dynasty and the burning of Chang'an by the Red Eyebrow army, Chang'an has lost its former prosperity.
Moreover, in the past 100 years, the Qiang people have rebelled repeatedly, and have entered Kou Sanfu many times, threatening Chang'an, so that Guanzhong has no manpower and material resources to repair Chang'an. A few decades ago, Dong Zhuo and Emperor Xiaoshu entered Chang'an, but he only repaired part of the Chang'an Imperial City.
After Li Dao, Guo Yan caused trouble in the palace again, Chang'an became a ruin again, and now Chang'an has this scale, or from Zhong Xuan after sitting in Chang'an, slowly repaired. ”
Feng Zhou said: "Chang'an is in the middle of the world, and it is a place of four stops, as long as it is safe to operate, it is enough to restore the strong days of the past, and it can also control the princes in the east, frame the world, and become the capital, so I plan to set the capital Chang'an, so it needs to expand the scale and expand the population." ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he said: "But I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking, how to expand Chang'an"
Feng Zhou took the spear in his hand, pointed into the distance, and said, "It is three times larger than Chang'an City in the former Han Dynasty." ”
Three times the size, it is the same area as Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, enough to accommodate a million people.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart and said: "Chang'an City in the former Han Dynasty, nine miles long and eight miles wide, is three times larger than Luoyang, Your Majesty wants to build a new Chang'an, which is three times larger than Chang'an in the former Han Dynasty, wouldn't it be able to accommodate millions of people." ”
"Once the national capital, of course, you can't be petty" Feng Zhou smiled and said: "In the future, the Han Dynasty will definitely come to the court, and the population of the national capital can reach one million, how can you do it if you don't build a big one?"
"Hearing Your Majesty say this, Wei Chen is fascinated!" Zhuge Liang smiled: "It's just that in this way, it will take more manpower, material resources and time." ”
Feng Zhou lifted the horsewhip and pointed to the north: "North of Guanzhong, east of the Great River, there are free laborers, they have been entrenched in my Central Plains for hundreds of years, and it is time to pay back." ”
"Your Majesty is really ambitious. Zhuge Liang sighed sincerely.
Zhao Yun and Wei Yan on the side couldn't help but look at each other, feeling admiration.
"What is the ambition of the emperor, what is the talent of the prime minister, isn't it right now. This Chang'an City has not been taken, and these two have already discussed the scale and labor force to build the city in the future. ”
Jiang Wei admired Yijun and Yixiang even more, and only felt that it was good to be able to follow such a big man, even if he gave them a horse and a whip.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the head of Chang'an City not far away, and it turned out that it was Wei General Cao Zhen, Wei Situ Wang Lang and his generals who had ascended to the top of the city.
At this time, the generals supported him, revealing the sealing boat riding a horse in the middle, and Zhuge Liang sitting alone on a four-wheeled vehicle.
Feng Zhou rode a snow-white high-headed horse, brocade robe, high-spirited, the dragon flag behind him, and the tiger general on his side, as if the emperor of the earth, and the Zhuge Liang lupine scarf beside him was like a fairy who drank dew and ate Ying.
Dozens of people stopped by the moat, a distance that could not be hit by arrows, and the conversation between the two sides could be heard clearly, so it could be said that the location was excellent.
Cao Zhen looked at Fengzhou and Zhuge Liang under the city, and said to Wang Lang: "Wang Situ, the one who rides a horse is Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, who sits in a small car and cranks a goose feather fan is Zhuge Liang." ”
Wang Lang nodded, looked at Zhuge Liang under the city and shouted: "The person who came is Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, and Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu."
Feng Zhou smiled slightly, ignoring it.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, smiled, and said: "My Han Emperor is here, I am Zhuge Liang, but I don't know who the city is talking to."
"I am the Great Wei Situ Wang Lang. Wang Lang stiffened his back a little rickety, and arched his hand towards Zhuge Liang and said: "I have heard the power of the Lord of Shu for a long time, the name of Shu Xiang, and I am fortunate to see it today, I heard that Shu Xiang Kong Ming knows astronomy and geography, and has the talent of passing through the heavens and latitudes, and must know the destiny of heaven.
"The King of No Way" Feng Zhou was slightly angry, this guy dared to scold me in front of me
In a fit of rage, he wanted to take off the five-stone iron-fisted bow and shoot the old man in the head with an arrow.
But then he suppressed his temper.
Although the holy monarch cannot be humiliated, but as the emperor, the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, and he is scolded, so naturally the military generals of the civil servants will help him fight back, especially when Wang Lang is opposite, and Zhuge Liang is by his side, he doesn't need to fight at all, he just needs to scold back.
He smiled slightly and said to Zhuge Liang: "But listen to the prime minister's words, for me to vent this evil breath." ”
"Obey. Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, then pointed to the top of the city, and sneered: "Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Pi usurped the Han and became self-reliant, and everyone in the world spit on him." The first emperor was filial piety to the emperor's blood and clothes, determined to beg the thief, in the Ru pseudo-Wei did not wear the sky, is it a nameless soldier now my Majesty drove the expedition in person, broke through Longshan, the army of the thieves was defeated like a mountain, Cao Pi Xiaoer was in a hurry to flee for his life, this is the destiny of heaven. ”
Seeing this, Cao Zhen hurriedly said to Wang Lang: "Situ, don't tell him anything about the Mandate of Heaven, Liu Bei is the enemy of my Cao family with the edict of clothes, you tell him this, Zhuge Liang has a thousand sophistry skills!"
"The general can rest assured!" Wang Lang smiled and shouted at Zhuge Liang under the city: "The number of days has changed, the artifact is easier, and it is natural to return to the virtuous people."
Since Huan and Ling, the Yellow Turban has advocated chaos and the world has been fighting. At the age of Chuping and Jian'an, Dong Zhuo rebelled, and he was abused by Dao and Yan; Yuan Shu was arrogant in Shouchun, and Yuan Shao was dominant in Yetu; Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, and Lu Bu swallowed Xu County: thieves swarmed, treacherous eagles were raised, and the society was in danger of being tired of eggs, and the living beings were in urgent need of being overhanged.
I, Emperor Taizu Wu, swept away and swept the eight wildernesses; all surnames poured their hearts, and the Quartet looked up to virtue: it was not taken by power, but it was also returned by the mandate of heaven. Emperor Wen, the ancestor of the gods, the holy martial arts, the unification of Ying, the people of Tianhe, the Fayao Chan Shun, in China to the borders of all countries, is it not the will of the heavens
I look at the lord of Shu Liu Chanwu Yong, and Kong Ming's talent is unparalleled, why is he strong to go against the principles of heaven and act against human feelings, don't you hear the ancients said: 'Those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die.'" 'Today, my Great Wei has a million armor and a thousand good generals. Forgive the fluorescent light of the rotten grass, how can the princes of the bright moon of the heart of heaven turn against their armor and surrender with courtesy, without losing the position of the marquis. Isn't it beautiful to have national security and folk music!"
The ancestor of the Shu lord, awarded the title of the first Han Zuo general, the ambition is to help the Han family, my Taizu Wu Emperor, the ambition of the past years is also for the Han Zhengxi General is also, the two have cooked wine on heroes, and cherish each other.
However, the Mandate of Heaven returned, and the former Han Emperor Liu Xie knew that his virtue was insufficient, and the Mandate of Heaven had been returned to the Great Wei, so he followed the example of Yao Shunchan and gave it to the Son of Heaven of the Great Wei.
If the public does not believe it, we can send someone to invite the Duke of Shanyang to come here, and at that time the destiny of heaven is known, everything is known, turn against the armor, and surrender with courtesy, without losing the position of the marquis. From now on, the country will be safe and the people will be happy, wouldn't it be beautiful!"
"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this: "I thought that you were a minister of the Han Dynasty, and you must have a high opinion, but I didn't expect you to say such a vulgar statement!"
