Outside Jinyang City, the battle has been over for several days.

Liu Kun's generals Hao Shu and Zhang Qiao led more than 2,000 soldiers to battle, which were broken by the Huns, and both generals died.

There was a shortage of grain and grass in the city, and Taiyuan was too guarded by Gaoqiao, and Hao Yu saw that he didn't even have the conditions to hold on, so he opened the city and asked for surrender.

Two days later, Liu Cang and Liu Yao entered Jinyang, and the first thing they did was to inspect the whole city.

When the two of them climbed to the top of the city and looked into the distance, they suddenly felt that their hearts were broad.

What a big flat land!

The most amazing thing is that this very vast flat land is crisscrossed by rivers, abundant water and grass, and countless fertile fields. There are mountains and rivers around, and the mountains and rivers are not just talking.

"In the land of annexing states, there is a tendency to build from a high position." Liu Yao praised.

Since the beginning of history, Taiyuan has been an important town in the north.

There are Luliang Mountain and the Yellow River in the west, Zhongtiao and Taihang in the south, Taihang and Wutai in the east, and Hengshan Mountain in the north.

The terrain itself is high, overlooking Hebei and Henan.

If these two places march into the state, they need to attack Taihang Bashan.

The road is difficult and dangerous, rugged and difficult to travel, and all dynasties have built the city to control the traffic holes.

If you go south from the northern grassland, you have to attack Yanmen Pass, which is another Xiongguan pass.

Surrounded by the Yellow River and mountains, there are large areas of fertile river valleys and mountain basins, which can support the people and take them as the foundation.

The Tang Dynasty established two large pastures in Hedong (referring to the whole state) to raise military horses, and even there is one near Taiyuan, which is called "Lou Fu Jian Mu City" - the other one is in Shangdang, that is, the place where the people are entrenched today.

The plains can be farmed, the mountains can be grazed, and the cool climate is especially suitable for horses to reproduce and survive, which can be described as a treasure land of feng shui.

When the troubled times opened, if there was a state, ambitious people could participate in the struggle for hegemony, and those without ambition could protect the territory and the people, and the end land was the foundation of a king.

Liu Cang also looked at the land greedily.

Over the years, although Liu Kun has been confined to Jinyang City to death, and the rest of Taiyuan County has been mostly encroached upon by various tribes, they do not dare to be too ostentatious, regardless of the cultivation in Taiyuan County, and just support grazing. As soon as Xianbei came, he had to roll up the covers and tents, and drive the cattle and sheep to run, which was very inconvenient.

Now that Jinyang has been won, it is much more convenient.

"Only Jinyang Xiongcheng and Taiyuan are worthy of being the capital of the Han Dynasty." Liu Cang sighed: "Yongming, I want to go to the Son of Heaven, please move the capital to Jinyang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yao shook his head and said, "It's too early. ”

"Why do you say that?" Liu Cang was a little displeased and asked.

"Shiguang has a strategy, I also admire it, what he said is naturally reasonable, but it is too early." Liu Yao praised Liu Cang first, and finally insisted on his own opinion.

Then he explained.

Running Taiyuan is not an overnight thing. If it is easy to deal with one Liu Kun, the problem is that there is the existence of Tuoba Xianbei.

Once the capital is moved to Jinyang, do you want to consolidate the defense line north of the capital?

There is Tuoba Xianbei outside Yanmen Pass, and there is also Tuoba Xianbei in Daijun, even if it can be defended by building a pass and garrisoning town soldiers, but the country's center of gravity will inevitably change.

He was worried that in this way, the entanglement with Tuoba Xianbei would never end, and it would involve a lot of the energy of the imperial court, and he would not be able to go south.

Considering that Shao Xun has gained a foothold in Henan, this is not a good thing.

Unless the imperial court abandons the strategy of going south and is willing to be a local government that divides and merges states and Guanzhong, this may be difficult to do for Jinshang, who thinks highly of himself.

But then again, Liu Yao thinks it's not bad.

Looking at Shao Xun's appearance, the Jin court will be destroyed by him sooner or later.

Once he did this kind of thing, the heavens and uncles all over the world stood on their own feet and attacked each other, and he was in the land of four wars, which was quite disadvantageous. Maybe he will negotiate peace with the Han and concentrate on dealing with other directions.

In this way, there may be many countries in the world.

Will Sima Rui, who occupies Jianye, be the emperor?

Will Jia, Liang and others in Guanzhong stand on their own feet?

What about Liangzhou Zhang Rail father and son?

What about the arrogant man Wang Jun in Youzhou?

A rough count, there are a lot of countries.

Such a situation is actually beneficial to Dahan.

It took time for the imperial court to gain the approval of the northern scholars, so that in desperation, they were forced to serve the imperial court. With them on board, the foundation is solid.

At that time, you can try to merge Shan Yutai and Shang Shutai, no longer divide and rule Hu and Han, and slowly merge, isn't it stronger than now?

Now don't say that the Hu and Han are integrated, in fact, the Xiongnu headquarters and the "Liuyi" have not been integrated, and the country is divided into three parts: the Liuyi, the Xiongnu, and the Jin people.

When the first emperor was there, he had a good wrist and barely pinched the various tribes and territories.

Today is actually not bad, perennial travel to the Central Plains, proficient in metaphysics, Confucianism and even music, poetry, but also under the late Chengdu Wang Ying account as a staff member, leading the troops to fight, but compared to the first emperor, the wrist is always so bad.

As for the king of Hanoi, Liu Yao just sighed and didn't want to comment more.

"Tuoba Xianbei has repeatedly done bad things, which is really hateful." Listening to Liu Yao's words, Liu Cang nodded, and then transferred his anger to Tuoba Xianbei's head.

"Why should Shiguang be upset?" Liu Yao persuaded: "Tuoba Yilu is fighting hard to attack each other with Wang Jun, and he also wants to forcibly occupy Daijun, which shows his ambition. ”

"Yongming is saying that Tuoba Yilu wants to develop south and swallow Bingzhou, Youzhou and even Henan?" Liu Cang was surprised.

"He's old, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ambition." Liu Yao said: "It's just that seeing the decline of the Central Plains, it's just a little bit to be able to take advantage of it." His soldiers seem to be strong, but if he is thrown into the Central Plains melee, it will be enough to fight for a few years? In the past, Duan Xianbei was so strong, since Sima Lun entered the Central Plains to fight, more than ten years, at least lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers, so that now it has been repeatedly invaded by Murong Xianbei, and the troops are scattered, which is unspeakably miserable. If the fight continues, Duan Xianbei will become Wang Jun's vassal. ”

"This muddy pond in the Central Plains." Liu Cang gloated.

Dahan also suffered a lot in Henan.

Thousands of horsemen were lost in the battle of Gaoping, and all the troops complained. Fortunately, they don't have rivals like Duan Xianbei, otherwise they will have a hard time when the decline appears.

"I don't know how the battle of Mengjin went......" After laughing, Liu Cang remembered that Liu Fu was sitting in Hanoi and coordinating the overall situation, so he asked.

"If the Son of Heaven transfers troops from Jinyang to the south, it means that the war is unfavorable." Liu Yao said: "If you come without an edict, it means that you have fought well." Shiguang is a little restless, just wait. ”

"That's right." Liu Cang said with a smile.

However, he quickly stared, because on the post road in the southwest, dozens of horsemen rushed to the front, and the first one even held a festival.

Liu Cang and Liu Yao glanced at each other and said, "You won't really lose, right?" ”

The two hurried down the city.

The person who came was indeed an angel, and after reading the edict, Liu Cang had both joy and sorrow.

The good thing is that Liu Fu planted a big heel, and the worry is that Shao Xun occupied the ferry port on the north bank of Mengjin.

He is so able to toss and fight, even if he inherits the unification in the future, it will be a huge threat - as for how to cross the imperial brother Liu Yi to ascend the throne, he thinks it is not a matter at all.

Liu Yao is more worried than Liu Cang.

But now was not the time to think about this, and the two of them handed over the defense with the new former general Liu Feng, and then led the army south, heading straight to Hanoi - the former general Liu Feng is now the assassin of the Han Dynasty and the state, and stayed in Jinyang.

******

The capture of Jinyang was a landmark victory for the Han court.

On September 16, Liu Cong, the Son of Heaven, issued an edict: change the Yuan Jiaping and give amnesty to the world.

Three days later, he feasted the ministers in the newly completed Huiguang Hall and distributed rewards.

Some people may find it strange that the Bohai King was defeated in the Battle of Shamadi, and he had to retreat to the Yewang with 8,000 remnants, so no one paid attention to this matter?

In fact, there is, Liu Cong has appointed Wang Cang of Hanoi as the governor of the capital, and led an army of 20,000 to the south, and the soldiers of Hanoi and Shangdang counties were all under the command. In addition, he also gave Liu Cang a secret opportunity, lest he mess around and break away from the strategy set by the imperial court.

Fan Long, the middle book supervisor who was already dying, glanced at Liu Cong, who was talking and laughing with the ministers, and lowered his head to think silently.

He remembered the rumor that had been released back then.

It's just an idle man who makes a cloth in his hand, but he didn't expect it to come true, which makes him panic.

For several years, he has been thinking about a question: Shao Xun can't really be too white star, right?

In the battle of Shamadi, with less than 30,000 people, it broke through Sanzhai in two days, defeated the Bohai Wangfu, and gained a firm foothold on the north bank of the river.

In this battle, Wang Zhang, the general of the Chinese army, was captured, and Zhao Gu and Shi Le also lost more than ten generals and colonels below Guo Heiluo, which can be described as a fiasco.

This kind of battle can only be fought by the Taibai Star of the main expedition, right?

Fan Long didn't know very well, anyway, he was a little worried.

Shang Shu's right servant shot Zhu Ji sat under Fan Long, and he was also thinking about the battle of Shama Causeway that had just ended.

Unlike Fan Long, his ties to the Han court were very deep.

After Liu Cong ascended the throne, he openly and secretly ordered the important ministers of the court to offer daughters for him to enjoy.

Zhu Ji, as the right servant of Shangshu, naturally sent his daughter to the palace and became a concubine.

So now he is really doing his best for the Son of Heaven everywhere, in order to make the family rich.

The battle of Shamati has been fought, the outcome cannot be changed, and now it is the aftermath that needs to be considered.

Shao Xun's rise was very sudden, and he was very capable of fighting, and it was very unwise to fight against it. Zhu Ji thought about it, and went to the son of heaven, please focus on managing Guanzhong, and after the national strength is thick, he will take Heluo.

It just so happened that the king of Zhongshan and the king of Hanoi took Jinyang, and from the strategic point of view, there were both the east and west banks of the river, and the situation was very favorable.

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven agreed in his heart, but he couldn't let go.

Zhu Ji knew that the Son of Heaven had made a competitive old mistake, and he would not be willing to fight again.

He only hoped that the Son of Heaven would not lose too many soldiers and horses in Hanoi, which was not conducive to advancing Guanzhong.

In reverie, Liu Cong's voice came from behind the dragon case: "The day before yesterday, Zhu Qing offered a strategy, saying, 'Crossing the Yong Merger', yesterday the Qing discussed it, do you have something to say today?" ”

Zhu Ji perked up and silently observed everyone.

Dahan has reached a critical fork in the road, and the next choice will determine the strategy for many years to come.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with Zhu Fu's strategy." Shangshu's left servant shot Ma Jing unceremoniously said: "With Jinyang as the eastern capital, Pingyang as the central capital, and Chang'an as the western capital, the three capitals stand side by side, which is unheard of. In addition, the new occupation of Jinyang, the people's hearts are not attached, and there is no food and equipment, Liu Kun and Yilu are eyeing each other, will they be able to stand still? Chang'an was also taken by Jia Kai and was still in the hands of the Jin people. Isn't it a shame to lose two of the three? ”

Zhu Ji quietly clenched his fists, very unhappy.

This old puppet, do you know the mystery of my "Longzhong pair"?

"Who else is suggesting?" After listening to this, Liu Cong asked again.

His gaze fell on Fan Long.

Fan Long sighed secretly and said, "Your Majesty, the strategy of 'crossing the Yong merger' is quite feasible, and the minister thinks it can be tried." ”

He actually saw that the Son of Heaven was a little inclined to this suggestion, but he was embarrassed to say it himself.

The reason is very simple, once the strategy of "crossing the Yong and merging" is implemented, the troops and resources will be tilted in the direction of Guanzhong, and it is no longer necessary to send the King of Zhongshan all the way to the division as before, but the main army to press up.

It sounds a bit like being beaten back by Shao Xun.

It is true that knowledgeable people know that this is a change in the national policy of the Han Dynasty, and it has little to do with the victory or defeat of one or two wars. But most of the people are ignorant, they only see that the southward movement has been repeatedly frustrated, so they changed the direction of the main attack and began to operate Guanzhong.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of face.

"Why didn't General Wuwei speak?" Liu Cong looked at the person again and asked with a smile.

General Wuwei is Ling Huni, a defector who has just made great achievements in Jinyang. Hearing the question of the Son of Heaven, he immediately got up and replied: "The minister thinks that he should move the capital to Jinyang and try his best to run Taiyuan." The mountains and rivers in the state are dangerous, the people are strong, and there are hundreds of miles of plaster soil, thousands of miles of pastures, properly cultivated for several years, then enough food and soldiers, with the momentum of building a high house to break Luoyang, go down to Hebei, and turn over the palm also. ”

Liu Cong was noncommittal and looked at the emperor's younger brother Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't want to speak, but when his brother asked, he said in Linghu Ni's words: "General Wuwei mentioned the mountains and rivers on the surface, and Gu Shen thought so. The strategy of "crossing the Yonghe" is very good, with the big river, Zhongtiao, Taixing screen, with Hangu and Tongguan as the key, if the enemy attacks, he will stop the army under the fortified city, and there is no inch to advance. I will recuperate until the time comes. Once the time is ripe, the east will send troops out of Hangu and attack Luoyang; In the south, it went out of Yiguan and Taihang, and attacked Hanoi and Henan; Restore the well, follow the story of the Qin State, and attack the land of Yan Zhao. ”

Liu Yi's words can be regarded as saying that Liu Cong is in his heart, but it makes him even more jealous.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

He has been studying in the Central Plains for 20 years, has been an official for 20 years, is familiar with classics, and knows very well what happened in history.

In fact, it was just the strategy of the Qin State.

With Hangu and Tongguan guarding Guanzhong, and guarding the Yellow River and Taihang and merging states, it can be attacked and retreated, and it has a high-rise momentum to the eastern part of the country.

It's just that in this way, it may be difficult to take the Central Plains in a short period of time, which makes him feel a little regretful.

But to put it bluntly, Luoyang is his father's obsession, not his.

He would rather go to Fenshui to watch the fishing and play with women in the palace, Luoyang can fight if he can, and forget if he can't.

It seems that it is not bad to merge the state and Yongzhou, and the emperor is in the west.

"The strategy of 'crossing the Yonghe'-" Liu Cong pondered for a moment and said, "I will think about it again." However, the war situation in Hanoi should not be neglected, and the Qing and others should make preparations as soon as possible. Well, the pass has been dilapidated for many years, and it should be rebuilt. The Taihang Pass should also be repaired immediately, and the elite soldiers should be selected to take turns, and there should be no mistakes. ”

"The ministers obey." The ministers responded one after another.

Everyone is a human spirit, how can you not hear the meaning of the words?

Rebuilding the pass on the Taihang Zhucheng Road and stopping the Jin soldiers with the steep and majestic Guancheng has actually secretly demonstrated the attitude of the Son of Heaven.

Shao Xun is also capable, and Shengsheng has changed the strategic direction of the Han Dynasty.
