Li Yue's army returned to Yecheng, and the people went out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

Everywhere there were voices calling for fathers and children, a few families were happy and a few were sad, and the sound of laughter did not hide the crying of the loss of relatives.

Although Li Yue avoided casualties, on the battlefield, someone had to die.

In the first battle of Hefei, the Huanwen camp was attacked, and the casualties were quite large, and thousands of soldiers were buried in Huainan.

Li Yue can only give more condolences, set up a martyr's mausoleum in the southern suburbs of Yecheng, all the dead, the names are engraved on it, re-add the pension, enjoy the incense at four o'clock, every year Li Yue brings his family to worship and sweep, comfort the heroic soul.

Wang Meng also arranged defense in Nanyang, guarding against Jingxiang's counterattack on the one hand, and deterring Guanzhong on the other.

Nanyang is in hand, and the three counties of Shangyong are like bamboos, and they are Xu Cheng going south.

The southern expedition was a complete victory, and although Jingxiang was not taken, all strategic ideas were basically completed.

Li Yue ordered the soldiers to rest and reunite with their families.

I was just about to rest for a few days, but unexpectedly, things came again.

Fu Jian sent a letter to congratulate Li Yue on his triumphant return, like Jiangdong, claiming to be a country, and he was extremely humble in his letters.

But the mouth is soft, the hand is not soft at all, and there are two large armies in Guanzhong to the south into Hanzhong, the meaning of cutting down Shu is obvious, and the defense of Puban, Tongguan and Wuguan is strengthened.

"Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, and the soldiers are tired, but now you can achieve great success, and it is the long-term way to rest the army and accumulate national strength." At the first court meeting when he returned, Chang Wei advised him in the palace.

Looking at Chang Wei's thin figure, Li Yue secretly screamed ashamed in his heart, he led thousands of troops and horses in all directions, but the burden of thousands of horses behind him was all bet on him.

To tell the truth, it is time for Liang Guo to recuperate.

There is a saying in "Hanshu Food and Goods Journal": Three exams to dethrone the Zhi, the remaining three years of food, and enter the industry; Ascend to the level again, and eat for the rest of the six years; Sandeng said Taiping, twenty-seven years old, nine years old.

The Eastern Han Dynasty assessed the local political performance once every three years, and there were more than three years of food in the treasury.

Sanden is Taiping.

A peaceful world requires twenty-seven years of hard work, and the treasury can support nine years of surplus grain.

Liang Guoguo has not been in the country for a few years, but he has been fighting every year, and it is not easy to support it until now, all relying on Chang Wei, Zhou Qian and others to eat and dress in the rear, and try all kinds of ways to raise food to the front line......

"Although Ling Jun's words are reasonable, but the momentum of Qin is growing, and the territory is getting bigger, and now coveting Shuzhong, it will become a strong Qin, is it possible that Daliang is watching it grow stronger?" Liu Yi arched his hand.

"Qin Fen VI's Yu Lie, Fang has the potential to strengthen Qin, Fu Jian has only been a few years? It is by no means the enemy of the Great Liang, after a few years of recuperation, the Great Liang soldiers are strong and strong, the treasury is full, and the veterans of the Guanzhong Division are tired, but they can be leveled down. Chang Wei was dismissive of Fu Jian.

Fu Jian can rise so quickly because there are no climate-forming forces around him.

Liangzhou was still succeeded by Fu Jian because of civil strife.

Li Yueshen thought so, even if he wanted to intervene in Guanzhong now, he didn't have that energy, "What Ling Jun said is very true, from today, the army will stop fighting, the whole country will encourage the reclamation of wasteland, the government will lease the people to plough cattle for free, and the iron mills in Xingyang and Shanyang will build more farm tools and waterwheels, and build more official roads, canals, and canals." ”

To deal with Di Qin, either no troops will be dispatched, or one blow will be fatal.

Shi Hu didn't kill Fu Hong, making the Fu family stronger and stronger.

Huan Wen garrisoned the troops, and at the last moment, Fu Jian took a breath of breath, and was defeated into victory.

It's useless to make a small fight, only Mount Tai is on top, and the battle is decided, and Fu Jian is not given any chance.

At the end of the court meeting, Li Yue asked Chang Wei, Cui Hong, Liu Ying, and Lu Qing to come to discuss state affairs as usual.

There are some things that are not suitable for a court meeting.

"Fu Jian won Shuzhong, which is beneficial to Daliang, why doesn't Huan Wen run Shuzhong? Because of today's Shu, not the Shu of the Three Kingdoms, Haoqiang, the clans are fighting endlessly, the bandits are numerous, the people are scarce, like chicken ribs, it is necessary to divide troops to defend, decades of governance, in order to restore the former country of Tianfu, Shuzhong and Guanzhong mountains and rivers are far away, if Fu Jian puts his energy into it, then Guanzhong must be empty. Cui Hong arched his hand.

Li Yue's eyes lit up, and this insight was unexpected.

Shuzhong is experiencing the devastation of two generations of tyrants of the Cheng and Han dynasties, and it is no longer the country of abundance in the past.

Otherwise, Huan Wen would not have turned around and left.

It's not that the bigger the territory, the stronger the strength.

Not all geopolitical plates are as good as Kanto.

Kanto can have today, it is after two or three hundred years of operation of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, Wei Wu opened the Hebei Canal, and Sima Yi ordered Deng Ai to repair the Huainan Canal, so that there are thousands of miles of fertile fields today.

And Guanzhong has declined since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Fu Jian's biggest problem is the lack of population, even if he wins Liangzhou, it can't be compared with Kanto.

"Great goodness!" Li Yue was relieved.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the grain and grass in Shu could be transported to Guanzhong through Han water.

However, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Wudu earthquake, the Western Han River was forced to go south, and was annexed by the Jialing River, known as Jialing to seize the Han River, the Han River changed its direction, and since then it has been extremely difficult for Hanzhong and Shuzhong to transfer grain and grass to Guanzhong.

Zhuge Wuhou was helpless, let alone Fu Jian.

"Your Majesty can do the opposite, issue an edict to Fu Jian, and let him slow down the attack on Shuzhong." Liu Ying arched his hand.

Fu Jian's army gathered in Hanzhong, his pants were taken off, and he had to shoot on the string, the more he was not allowed to cut down Shu, the more active he was.

Li Yue nodded, "Yes!" ”

Now Liang Guo can be described as a fierce general like a cloud, a strategist like rain, looking at the world, no one dares to move, the only thing lacking is the family background.

As long as there are no major strategic failures, domination of the world is just around the corner.

Family background is not a problem, careful management is.

The next few years will be the development period of the Liang State, and Li Yue is ready to start next year, and the 160,000 Black Cloud Army will start fishing and hunting in addition to the elite left and right Xiao cavalry and the left and right forward four armies.

To balance Fu Jian, it is not necessary to use all force.

Li Yue has a lot of chips in his hand, which is also the advantage of a big country.

After discussing for an hour, Li Yue set up a banquet to entertain everyone, and there were no delicacies, just some Hu cakes, beef and mutton.

Li Yue respectfully saluted Chang Wei, "If it weren't for Ling Jun, would I have won this victory?" ”

"This is the duty of a minister." Chang Wei is not only thin, he is only in his forties, and his hair is gray.

It's not so easy to run a house, especially for a monarch who likes to fight.

This night, Li Yue and Chang Wei both drank a few more glasses, but Li Yue sent them back to their homes with imperial chariots and guards.

When he got up the next day, he was feeling pain, and Liu Ying hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, great joy, Jiangdong Longxiang General Yuan Zhen and champion General Deng Yao have returned to Daliang with Dongguan!" ”

Li Yue looked at Liu Ying in a daze, and took five breaths before he reacted, "Yuan Zhen voted for me?" ”

"It's true, Sima Yu wants to support Yuan Zhen to fight against Huan Wen, Huan Wen took the first step, falsely accused Yuan Zhen of ineffective combat, sat back and watched the defeat of Hefei, Jiankang was afraid of Huan Wen's momentum, and pushed the crime of the failure of the Northern Expedition to Yuan Zhen.

It was not only Yuan Zhen and Deng Yao who came to vote, but also the most lacking naval warships.

In the battle of the wet beard, Li Yue had seen Yuan Zhen's old spicy.

"Could it be Jiangdong's trickery?" Li Yue rubbed his forehead.

"Shouldn't it be, Jiangdong was defeated, and our army couldn't be avoided, how dare you start a war again?"

"Bai Yuan Zhen is the general of the Left Fu Army, Luzhou Assassin Shi, Cheng Dehou, Deng Yao is the general of the Right Fu Army, Huai'an Hou!" Li Yue was overjoyed.

This is the first time that Jiangdong generals have surrendered to the north, and the significance is extremely far-reaching, which shows that Jiangdong's orthodoxy is collapsing, and Li Yue did not hesitate to reward him and set an example for Jiangdong's military generals.
