Chapter 671: The Canal

Just when Li Yue's attention was on the west, something happened in the south.

In the past few years, the school government and the Honglu Division have continued to infiltrate and publicize, as well as the attraction of various policies to benefit the people, and the hearts of Jingxiang people have gradually turned to the main beam.

At the end of the year, more than 2,000 families suddenly smuggled into Hanshui and fled to Nanyang.

More than 2,000 households, nearly 10,000 people, in this era is by no means small.

The Jin army went out to intercept it, Qin Biao and Mi Jin also came to the rescue of the cavalry, and a fierce battle broke out on both sides in Gucheng.

The Jin army lost more than 30 warships, but the Liang army suffered more than 870 casualties, all of which were injured by the heavy crossbows of the Jin warships, but fortunately, most of the people were covered to cross the river smoothly.

Huan Wen immediately became vigilant, and led the elite to return to Xiangyang from Misu, and began to strictly investigate and arrest the storyteller.

If it weren't for Jing Xianghaoqiang's assistance, even Yang Luo would have been almost captured.

"The hearts of the people in Jiangdong have changed, congratulations!" Chang Wei paid more attention to Jiangdong, after all, as long as the Jin Dynasty existed for a day, it would always be a potential opponent of Daliang.

"Yang Luo has been boiling for three or four years, Xiangyang is an iron city, and it should be melted."

Li Yue looked at the recital sent by Yang Luo.

According to his meaning, in this way, the imperial court will march south, and there will be heroes and military households in the city to respond, and the inside and outside should be combined, only Huan Wen is not there, and there is sixty percent certainty of breaking through Xiangyang.

But if Huan Wen has been staying in Xiangyang, it will only be two or three percent.

After all, Xiangyang is the base camp of Huanwen, and under the pressure of prestige for many years, Haoqiang and military households tremble in their hearts.

However, capturing Xiangyang does not mean that Jiangdong will be destroyed, but only a gap will be opened.

"First the west, then the north, then the south, the grand strategy remains the same." Li Yue silently calculated in his heart, the sixty percent chance of winning was still too risky, not to mention that Huan Wen was sitting in Xiangyang.

Either you don't send troops, or you win.

Chang Wei said: "There is Xie An in Jiangdong, and Huan Wen outside, which complement each other, and Jiangdong has at least ten years of national glory." ”

Jiangdong's system of gate-valve co-governance, although rotten, can maintain the shaky forward rowing of the broken ship of the Jin Dynasty.

Whenever the powerful ministers tried to cross the line, the other nobles either desperately dragged their feet or attacked them in groups.

Wang Dun and Su Jun are all like this.

The current Huan Wen is also facing this situation.

"As long as Huan Wen wants to go further, there will always be a chance, pass on Yang Luo, don't be in a hurry, the school affairs and Honglu officials will lie dormant first and preserve their strength." Li Yue's mentality is becoming more and more stable.

Don't look at Jiangdong's half-dead and declining appearance now, but he still has some combat power.

This friction can be seen.

The Jin army reacted quickly, and the navy army was quite elite, and it was able to hurt so many Black Cloud cavalry.

Of course, the biggest problem of the Southern Expedition is not the navy, nor the Yangtze River moat, and the Liang navy has also grown up in recent years.

The problem lies in the climate, water and soil, and most of the Black Cloud Army are from Hebei and may not necessarily adapt to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the Battle of Chibi, the Wei army mostly died of plague and disease.

And it's not yet time for the southern expedition.

At the end of the year, Li Jian went to the table again, wanting to stay in Guanzhong for one more year.

However, this time Li Yue refused, it is not a good thing to stay outside for a long time as the crown prince.

In two years, everything that should be seen has almost been seen, and the relationship with Wang Meng is almost the same, and the prince of a country can't just farm.

The matter of marrying Laneige, the queen of Wang Mengzhi, has also been negotiated, but the two are too young and will have to wait for another year and a half.

The spread of this matter is undoubtedly an incentive to the Hanmen Shu faction.

Many people gradually understood the emperor's intentions, and Wang Meng's entry into Shangshutai became a sure thing.

Cui Hong was transferred to Shuozhou, and the scholars were unprecedentedly submissive, so naturally no one dared to object.

On the last day of the second year of Hongxing, Li Jian returned to Luoyang.

When I went, I felt like a child, and when I returned, it changed a lot.

There is more wind and frost on the face, and there is more stability, and the person has become more capable.

As soon as Cui Yansi saw his son's appearance, tears flowed uncontrollably, "Son, you are suffering outside......

Li Yue hurriedly waved away the palace maid and eunuch, leaving only a family of three.

"Erchen is well fed and clothed, why do you have to eat hard? After a year or two, he failed to fulfill his filial piety under the knees of his father and mother, and his sons were not filial. "No matter how mature you are, you are still a fourteen-year-old boy after all.

With these words alone, Li Yue was relieved.

The two Han Dynasty and Wei and Jin ruled the world with filial piety, although there were many ills, and there were many people who sold their fame and reputation, but if a person is not filial to his parents, he is certainly not a good type.

"Thrifty has grown up, grown up!" Cui Yansi cried and laughed.

"It's been so many years, and if you still have this temperament, young people should go out and take a look, otherwise if you stay in the palace all day long, won't you become a canary? My son should be an eagle and a tiger! Li Yue patted Li Jian on the shoulder.

I haven't seen it for two years, and I have suddenly grown much taller and stronger.

"What my father said is very true, and my son has benefited a lot from being under my uncle's command this time." Li Jian took out an excerpt from his arms.

Li Yue opened it and glanced at it, all of which were two years of experience.

There are those who govern the country, those who govern the people, those who farm, and those who march to war......

There are as many as two or three thousand words.

Some of these suggestions are quite pertinent, such as improving the treatment of retired disabled soldiers, such as building official roads and post stations from Chang'an to Guzang.

There is also a waterway that occupies a lot of space, using Weishui to establish a waterway from Luoyang to Longyou, linking Luoshui, the Yellow River and Weishui, and strengthening the connection between Luoyang and Guanzhong, Longyou, and Liangzhou.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a great drought in the Jin Kingdom, and Qin Mugong mobilized a fleet to set off from Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, along the Wei River for hundreds of miles, crossing the big river to the east, and going north against the Fen River.

From Qin to Jin, the ships on the waterways of the three rivers have traveled thousands of miles, and this unprecedented waterway grain transportation is called "the battle of rafting" in "Zuo Chuan".

If it can be sent to Hedong, it can be sent to Luoyang.

In this era, the capacity of water transportation is more than ten times stronger than that of land transportation, but the cost is five or six times lower.

"Did you think of it yourself?" Li Yue's eyes lit up.

It's easy to fight the world, but it's hard to sit on the country.

There has never been a shortage of emperors in history who can lead troops to war, and the primary duty of an emperor has never been to fight.

Therefore, Li Yue put the ability to govern the country in the first place.

"It's not what Erchen thinks and thinks alone, but my uncle also has a lot of inspiration." Li Jian was not greedy for merit.

"Great goodness!"

A history of China is actually a history of canals.

Qin Shi Huang opened the Zhengguo Canal, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Cao Canal.

Cao Cao dug a canal in Hebei and eventually defeated the Yuan clan.

Deng Ai built a canal in the Central Plains to connect the Central Plains with Huainan.

Emperor Yang of Sui took Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang, as the center, diverted the water of the Yellow River, connected Zhuojun to the north, and connected Huaishui and the Yangtze River to the south, spanning the north and south of the empire, laying the foundation for the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

The gold content of this song is extremely high, in fact, the waterways are ready-made, and they only need to be used with a little dredging, and they do not have to spend national strength like Emperor Yang of Sui.

And it is about to use troops against the Western Regions, and if the war does not go well, this waterway is of great significance.
