Soon, in Yanzhou, Xi Jian, Chen Yuanda, Gou Chun and others returned to Luoyang one after another.

I have to say that as they left, the Yanzhou family was a warm farewell, and they sent a Wanmin umbrella to express their excitement.

The history of Yanzhou thorn was handed over to Cao Wei, and Cao Wei's project was the most enough to calm the minds of the local people, after all, as long as there is work, enough to eat, live in a good house, and make money, the vast majority of the people can also become good citizens who obediently pay taxes and pay food.

After all, as long as the people of China can survive, everyone doesn't mind being cattle and horses, after all, it is not easy to live.

Of course, in addition to these three people, Chu Yi, who was in charge of the overall situation in Yecheng at this time, also officially began to transfer the office system of Yecheng to Luoyang.

After a year of warm-up, Liu Tai's intention to move the capital to Luoyang has been undoubted, and at the same time, Liu Tai has also arranged a plan for industrial relocation in Luoyang, at least the most important coal mines, as well as the boilers needed for steelmaking, have been built in Luoyang.

After all, Liu Tai knows very well that there are many basic facilities, and Luoyang can not be big, but it cannot be without.

Whether it is the construction of Luoyang itself, or the road and canal from Luoyang to Xingyang that are being built, materials are needed.

Although the current Luoyang looks a bit like being on the front line and is not a stable place, because of this, for the vast majority of families, it is not a big gamble to move to Luoyang at this time.

After all, during the Yongjia Rebellion, those families whose whole families were in Luoyang, at this time, the grave grass was three zhang high.

However, Liu Tai's determination to move the capital to Luoyang was firm, and he expressed his ambition to subdue Chang'an and unify the world.

After all, for a rising force, the place of governance can well show the ambition of a force.

There is no need to say any more nonsense, at this moment, Chang'an next to Luoyang is not in his own hands, do you say that one by one, will there be similar thoughts in your head about how to allow others to snore on the side of the couch.

What's more, the closer the distance, the more convenient it will be to dispatch the resources at hand, and for Liu Tai, it will naturally be more convenient to attack Zhao State.

Although the courtiers felt that Liu Tai's behavior was really a bit dangerous, and even a little risky.

But under Liu Tai's insistence, no one stood up to oppose it.

The reason is very simple, adventure is adventure, but Liu Tai has never lost, he is the world's No. 1 general, the contemporary Xiang Yu.

In this case, even though Liu Tai has now moved the capital to Luoyang, everyone feels a little radical, but they all recognize Liu Tai's strength.

At least they believe that if Zhao Guo really takes the initiative to attack without knowing whether he is alive or dead, then Liu Tai, even if he takes his own personal guards to be reckless, can completely recklessly penetrate the other party, which is the confidence and sense of security that Liu Tai brought to his subordinates after fighting hard all the way.

Therefore, as long as Liu Tai is still in Luoyang, then the others are not afraid of the danger of war at all.

After all, in the current era, Liu Tai, who has completed the unification of Hebei and won the Central Plains, is more like a tyrant who sows the fear of war, staring at the princes one by one, and has a kind of arrogance that whips the world's families!

And Liu Tai completely carried out the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang this time, and there was a very important reason, because after his main army moved to Luoyang, the speed of the money and grain north of the Yellow River from Hebei to Luoyang decreased.

For this, Liu Tai also estimated it to some extent, but after losing the convenience of the waterway, it far exceeded Liu Tai's expectations.

Otherwise, Liu Tai would have chosen to start this war after the autumn harvest, rather than procrastinate and be postponed by Liu Tai.

After all, we had to wait until the grain north of the Yellow River, the livestock in Youzhou, and the dried fish produced along the coast of the Bohai Sea were all transported to Xingyang through the Yongji Canal, and then transferred from Xingyang to Luoyang.

At this moment, Chu Yu is not only responsible for the relocation of important institutions in Yecheng, but also responsible for the transportation of these materials.

When there was the Yongji Canal, because basically all the supplies were loaded in the boat, although the boat was not fast in the canal because it was full of loads, it was steady all the way, and there was no need to worry about anything at all.

So at least on the way from Yecheng to Xingyang, Chu Yu walked quite steadily and didn't worry too much.

But when it came from Xingyang to Luoyang, Chu Biao's face couldn't help but be solemn, although Chu Biao was also responsible for raising food more than once.

After all, every time Liu Tai went on an expedition, Chu Yu was responsible for sitting in the center and dispatching supplies.

But Chu Yi did not personally escort the materials underneath, and only formulated a suitable transportation plan based on the feedback from the front line.

But this time, Chu Yu personally walked the waterway from Yecheng to Xingyang, and then took the road from Xingyang to Luoyang.

Although the road from Xingyang to Luoyang has been the busiest route since ancient times, so this official road is wide and the transportation of materials is not difficult, Chu Yi is still keenly aware at this time that the distance brought by the two is completely different.

The most important thing is that the ship does not need to consume food, but by land, not to mention the limited amount of food carried by livestock, and the livestock responsible for transporting the goods themselves need to be taken care of.

After all, these are creatures anyway, and if you don't take care of them, you don't have to expect them to carry goods.

Therefore, it is twice the distance from Yecheng to Xingyang than from Xingyang to Luoyang, but the road from Xingyang to Luoyang is much harder.

It took eight days to transport these materials to Luoyang, although there was nothing to do on the way, but the livestock themselves were either sick, lazy, or even exhausted, and there were small troubles.

And Yecheng to Xingyang by the canal only takes three days, even if something happens to the ship, but as long as it is not a shipwreck, then it is just a replacement of parts, tinkering, it is able to reopen the ship.

Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The king's policy of building the Yongji Canal is indeed correct, and looking at the king's appearance, if he lays down the land of Jiangdong in the future, I am afraid that he will choose to directly open up the canals of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to reduce transportation costs." ”

Chu Yu deeply felt the importance of Liu Tai's insistence on building the Yongji Canal.

In any case, with the construction of this canal, the materials of Hebei can be quickly turned over and transported to Xingyang, otherwise it is just by land transportation, and if you want to transport the money and grain from Hebei to Luoyang little by little, I am afraid that it will take at least three years of savings to make it possible for the Han to have the possibility of crusading against Longyou.

So even now I have begun to think about the improvement in overall efficiency brought about by opening up the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

Chu Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but he also slowly entered the boundary of Luoyang, Luoyang at this moment is naturally not prosperous, it can only be regarded as thriving, and the interval between each village and village is quite large!

It's not like a normal way to govern the capital, squeezing all the people into Luoyang City.

However, Chu Biao is a figure at the level of a country's prime minister, and Chu Biao soon understood that Liu Tai basically left a main business for each village to survive on to maintain the normal operation of the entire village.

And if the village is going to expand in the future, because Liu Tai has left enough space, it seems that the villages are relatively empty now.

But in the future, when it really develops, these empty lands can accommodate many people who live around Luoyang City.

Chu Yi sighed: "The king really built Luoyang with a city of millions of people!" ”

But now, with the smooth transportation of this batch of autumn harvest materials to Luoyang, basically Liu Tai can start the crusade against Longyou.

The blessing brought by Yongji Canal was really clear to Chu Yi at this moment.

After Chu Chao came to Luoyang, Liu Tai welcomed Chu Biao to Luoyang and let Chu Biao have a good rest for a day, but it was only one day, Liu Tai immediately gathered everyone and began to hold a meeting to recruit Da Zhao.

Wenchen has Chu Yi, Xi Jianjun, Zhang Song, Xi Jian, Chen Yuanda, Yang Man, Gou Chun, Xun Xuan, Liu Qun and Cui Yue, while the generals are Liu Ming, Zhou Ping, Li Ju, Ge Xin, Liu Yao, Su Jun, Wei Xiong, Zhang Ping, Liu Yin, Sun Wei, Huan Xuan, Shao Xu, and Xie Fei, Meng Dong and others to observe, because they are more or less involved in material preparation.

Liu Tai looked at everyone and was the first to speak: "Everyone, as Mouyuan has transported the materials from Yecheng one after another, we have the capital to crusade against Zhao State.

Therefore, today we are going to discuss the crusade against Zhao, so that the foundation of Emperor Guangwen can be unified in our hands. ”

Liu Tai inherited Liu Cong's foundation, so he recognized Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, and they recognized the Shu Han regime.

The rivalry between himself and Da Zhao is an internal struggle that belongs to Liu Yuan's foundation, an internal struggle between the Xiongnu and Han clans of the Xiongnu Han State, and the Han people.

When everyone present heard Liu Tai's words, they looked at each other a few times, but what was revealed in their eyes was an incomparably strong battle intent.

Because Liu Tai's decision is too exciting for them.

Ge Xin was the first to stand up at this moment and said, "King, please take me as the vanguard and conquer Tongguan!" ”

Not only Ge Xin, but even other generals all asked for battle one by one at this time to show their bravery.

And Liu Tai was naturally satisfied when he saw the soldiers actively participating in the battle, but Liu Tai also continued:

"This time we were divided into two armies, one army led by me personally, starting from Luoyang and going directly to Tongguan, in order to capture Tongguan head-on.

The other army went north to the east of the river, using Pusaka as a springboard to force the river, and after success, it attacked Tongguan with the name of wolf smoke. ”

"King, now that it is gradually entering late autumn, it is difficult to cross the river in the land east of the river, and it will not be easy to cross the river to attack!" At this time, Su Jun knew the water pattern best, and he was the first to speak at this moment, this time period was not a good time to cross the river.

"Late autumn naturally doesn't work!" Liu Tai nodded, and said with a serious expression, "You need to wait until winter, and you need to wait until the winter day when the goose feathers are snowy and frozen for thousands of miles, so that the soldiers can forcibly cross the river with the help of the ice!" ”

To be honest, in this Xiaoice era, the greatest convenience brought by the weather is that as an attacking side, in winter, the Yellow River will freeze from time to time, which can completely allow the soldiers to go directly to the opposite bank.

Zhou Ping also said at this moment: "For this river crossing operation, we have prepared 30,000 pairs of ice boots for the soldiers to walk on the ice, and even applied for enough iron to make rivets for the soles of the feet to ensure that the soldiers will not slip on the ice." ”

When Zhou Ping said this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Fei, and continued, "In addition, I also asked the general to help make some equipment that can travel quickly on the ice to ensure that the soldiers can reach the opposite shore as quickly as possible!" ”

To be honest, although Zhou Ping's army used a surprise attack, Zhou Ping was also ready to fight a hard battle.

After all, there are so many crossings of the Yellow River, and there are only a few places where you can march on a frozen day in winter, and other Yellow River crossings may not be unable to march, but no one knows how strong the ice surface is frozen.

In such a situation, even if the army is marching in winter, Liu Tai will try to choose a location with relatively thick ice.

It's just that where the current is slower and the ice is relatively thick, troops will definitely be sent to guard the other side.

At this moment, Liu Tai said with a serious expression, "This campaign is focused on capturing the ferry, so the first soldiers no longer wear fish scale armor to gain weight, and Lone people have prepared cotton armor made of special materials, which has both warmth and protection effects in winter, but this protective effect is not as thick as fish scale armor, and they are afraid of fire attacks, and the marching generals need to pay attention." ”

Liu Tai didn't expect a sneak attack at all, but prepared to attack.

Therefore, as long as the war does not break out on the ice, but your own soldiers can smoothly cross the ice and fight head-on with the soldiers on the other side, then the opponent's old army cannot be the opponent of its own army.

After all, his army is superior to the other party in terms of armament, organization, quality, and even willpower and determination, if he can't beat the other side by force, then Liu Tai feels that this world is too ridiculous.

When everyone heard the words of Liu Tai and Zhou Ping, they understood that the Han had begun to prepare for this war very early.

"How many troops does the king prepare for this frontal attack, and how many troops do the partial troops need to be arranged!"

At this time, Chu Yu was the first to react and asked Liu Tai seriously.

"Tongguan is the Xiongguan of the world, I led an army of 100,000 myself, attacking steadily from the front, attracting the attention of Zhao State.

Zhou Ping, Ge Xin, Liu Yao, Wei Xiong, Zhang Ping, Liu Yin, Sun Wei and others went to Tongguan with me.

Liu Ming, you led the headquarters as a partial army, Li Ju, Huan Xuan's deputy, set off from Hedong and forcibly crossed Puban.

In order to echo with the army and take Tongguan, all our strategies are determined by taking Tongguan.

As long as Tongguan is taken, the right place of Longyou in Guanxi will be flat, and our army will be able to sweep away all the ghosts! ”

"I'll do as I was told!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone also answered in unison.

At this moment, as generals, they can't wait to conquer Zhao State and realize the unification of the Han Dynasty.

Chu Yu, who came to Luoyang, didn't even have time to rest for one more day, so he immediately put into work and began to get busy, planning the food and grass for the troops on both roads, preparing the clothes of the soldiers, and even preparing plasters to prevent the soldiers from frostbite.

Liu Tai's army was stronger in combat than Zhao State, but this was all a logistical force piled up bit by bit, so at this moment, Chu Yi did not dare to be a little lazy, in order to ensure that the soldiers could maintain their own state when they conquered Zhao State.
