Two hundred and twenty-seven The smiles on their faces were even greater
After Zhang Wen's words were finished, Gai Xun was stunned.
Leaning less, Gai Xun reacted and was quite surprised.
"How did they not rebel against the court? They disobey the rules, gather crowds to cause rebellion, plunder the property of good people, and even dare to attack the government, how can they not be considered rebels? If such thieves can't be wiped out, how can Liangzhou be stable? ”
Zhang Wen sighed.
"But they didn't attack the right Fufeng to intrude on the mausoleum of the first emperor, Gaifujun, I tell you the truth, the imperial court really has no money, this time the expedition is because the rebels are too much, they actually want to attack the right Fufeng, and the mausoleum of the first emperors of the past dynasties is over there.
Therefore, during the previous court debate, Xuande brought up this point, saying that if the emperor's tomb was threatened, everyone in the world would accuse the Son of Heaven of being unfilial, and the influence of the Son of Heaven's unfilial piety was too great, and the Son of Heaven could not tolerate the rebels being involved in the right side of the wind, so he sent troops to conscript.
In fact, the bottom line of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court is here, as long as the right Fufeng is safe, how the rebels act in Liangzhou, the imperial court is also powerless, the army is conscripted, the cost is too great, the treasury is empty, last year the imperial court just solved the Taiping Road rebellion, and now there is chaos again, and the imperial court is really unable to move. ”
After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he seemed to feel a little unreasonable, so he sighed, as if he was ashamed.
Gai Xun listened, lowered his head, and was silent.
Leaning less, Gai Xun slapped the table with a hateful face.
"Could it be that Liangzhou is so insignificant in the eyes of the imperial court? Emperor Wu and the previous emperors of previous dynasties opened up Liangzhou, how much heroic blood was spilled! To this day, the imperial court does not even have a person who is willing to run Liangzhou? Is Liangzhou really so humble to the Han Dynasty?! ”
When Gai Xun said this, he was almost pointing at the nose of the court and scolding.
This time, Zhang Wen was silent.
Looking at Gai Xun's sad and indignant look, he didn't say a word.
As a native of Nanyang, he naturally wouldn't put his ass on the side of the people of Liangzhou, and he couldn't even imagine how many people in the court could be willing to do something for the more than 500,000 registered population in Liangzhou.
There are few Han people, many Hu people, they are still poor, they are still wild, and they have not made much money.
Counting on the imperial court to spend money for Liangzhou to repair Liangzhou's war losses?
That's not necessary.
Unless it is a period of great expansion, Liangzhou still has some uses, and in the current environment dominated by contractionary defense policies in the Eastern Han Empire, Liangzhou is particularly chicken.
Don't stay, the land of Sanfu is indeed unstable.
Keep it, and put money in it, and there will always be rebellions, which are difficult to solve.
The lords of the imperial court were disgusted with the state to the extreme.
Therefore, since the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, few officials sent by the central government are willing to do something in Liangzhou, and they all have the mentality of making a fortune and leaving, and they have levied and embezzled funds here, turning Liangzhou into a hotbed of corruption and profit-making for officials.
The more chaotic Liangzhou is, the worse the governance of the officials, the worse the governance of the officials, the more dissatisfied the people are, the Han people are dissatisfied, and the Hu people are also dissatisfied, so it becomes more and more chaotic, belonging to a vicious circle that cannot be contained.
Everyone here tried their best to do bad things and not do good things, so they tossed a good administrative district and a symbol of the glory of the Western Han Dynasty into a large Gotham City.
The officials who are born in Liangzhou are better, and they can still think about their hometown and think more about things.
There are very few officials from the Kanto region who are not here to make a fortune, let alone develop local security and security for the people.
The reality is that no one in the Luoyang court will be willing to pay anything for Liangzhou.
But he couldn't say this to Gai Xunming, it was too hurtful.
Maybe Gai Xun himself knows that he is just a person in the political arena, and he can't say it too thoroughly, and if he says it too thoroughly, there is nothing to say.
So after hesitating, he could only say something insignificant, and comforted Gai Xun better than nothing, and that's it.
Of course, everyone knows that this is pointless.
A few days later, Liu Bei and his subordinates finished their rest and recuperation, and set off with their headquarters from Yuzhong to Ji County, returning to the establishment and continuing to be in charge of the logistics that he was supposed to be responsible for.
In the final analysis, his legitimate duty is to ensure logistics for the army, not to lead the troops to charge, this time he and Guan Yu both chose to make a move when they were helpless, and they were in the limelight, and the matter was over, so they still had to keep a low profile and return to their duties, so as not to overdo it.
On the third day of November in the second year of Zhongping, when the cold wind was blowing, Liu Bei's troops arrived in Ji County and met Zhang Wen and Gaixun, who were stationed here.
Zhang Wen praised Liu Bei fiercely, saying that he had reported all the credits of Liu Bei to the imperial court and asked for credit for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was modest for a word or two and thanked Zhang Wen for his help.
Zhang Wen told Liu Bei to rest for a few more days, and then continued to guard the grain road, and told Liu Bei that Dong Zhuo had won a battle in Longxi County and annihilated more than 5,000 Qianghu rebels, and now the rebel leaders Wang Guo, Song Yang and others entrenched in Longxi County were in danger.
If Zhou Shen can still achieve a decisive victory in Jincheng County, this Liangzhou rebellion can be said to be over, and the peak of this wave of rebellion in the entire Liangzhou will be over, and the next time, I don't know when it will be.
Of course, unless the next thing is an emergency, Liu Bei will not participate, he has already received enough credit, he should not continue to compete for credit, others also need credit.
Therefore, Liu Bei planned to carry out logistics support work in the rear with peace of mind, to avoid the front line from overturning due to the waves, and to ensure that the Han army could eat all the results in the final stage.
After discussing the military plane with Zhang Wen, Liu Bei went back to rest.
He first went to visit Dong Huang, who was recuperating in the wounded barracks in Ji County, so that he could rest at ease, and then met with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who escorted grain and grass back, and talked about what had happened recently.
Speaking of this, Zhang Fei is the boss's dissatisfaction.
"You and your brother have made such a great contribution, this time I will definitely be crowned a marquis, and I will be left alone without any credit, when the big guy says it, how should I deal with myself!"
Guan Yu stroked his beard and smiled silently, while Liu Bei stepped forward and patted Zhang Fei's shoulder.
"Yide, you are still young, there are still many opportunities, don't worry about the possibility of meritorious service, and as long as Yun Chang and I are still there, and we have a bite of meat to eat, there will be no lack of your mouthful, what are you worried about?"
Zhang Fei lowered his head and looked depressed.
"That's what I said, but you and your brother have made great contributions, even Dong Huang has made meritorious contributions, and I have nothing alone, so I am panicked."
Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei's depressed look, smiled, and pulled him up from the ground.
"I am the only child in the family, I have no brothers, you and Yun Chang are my brothers in my opinion, so we are also brothers on weekdays, this is not a scene, but I sincerely treat you as my brothers, so Yide, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry, as a brother, will you treat my brother badly?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Do you really think so?"
"Call me big brother in the future."
Liu Bei held Zhang Fei's hand, then turned around and shook Guan Yu's hand: "You call Yun Chang your brother, and Yun Chang takes me as your brother, so the three of us are three brothers, and the three of them work together, where do you need to divide each other?" ”
Zhang Fei was happy, Guan Yu was also happy, and Liu Bei was even happier.
There were more smiles on the faces of the three of them, but they didn't know which frustrated person got this extra happiness from.
But soon Liu Bei knew where this extra happiness came from.
