Liu Tai is currently reviewing documents related to the development of Zheng Guoqu, such as sending agricultural students to guide them, and the official renting oxen for ploughing.

According to Liu Tai's careful estimate, in about two years, all the land of Zhengbaiqu should be reclaimed, and then it will be able to produce enough grain and grass for his own conquest of Shu.

In contrast, the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, even if it is just the most ordinary official road, will take about three years to repair.

After all, road construction is relatively the most troublesome, like Cao Wei's construction of roads in the Central Plains, which are still trapped in Yanzhou, and they haven't returned to Liu Tai's side!

This is the headache of road construction, this is still Liu Tai did not go to the gallop road, and when he waits for the gallop, I am afraid that the road will be built more slowly.

Liu Tai also hoped that in the future, he would get on the carriage first, and then in ten or twenty years, the first version of the steam engine would come out, and then the steam engine would be used to replace the horses.

Compared with Liu Tai's calmness, Chu Yu couldn't help but say to Liu Tai: "Isn't the king worried about Chen Cang's battle? ”

"Zhou Ping's use of troops is quite positive." Liu Tai thought for a moment and said his comment.

"Positive?!" Hearing Liu Tai's comments on Zhou Ping, Chu Yu was thoughtful.

And Liu Tai said to Chu Yu: "To put it simply, Zhou Ping is a person who will arrange the way back even if he loses!"

With me in Chang'an, Zhou Ping should have no pressure, play normally, and Cheng Han can't take Chen Cang. ”

"Your Majesty is quite confident in General Zhou, I don't know when General Zhou's good news will be delivered!" Chu Yi said.

"It should be soon!" Liu Tai thought for a moment and said,

"Because he is quite correct in the use of troops, he is the kind of person who can play what kind of troops he is given.

So at the beginning, he should have tried Cheng Han, Cheng Han was difficult to deal with, so he would stick to Chen Cang and fight the war into a protracted war.

If he judged that Cheng Han's forces were weak, then he advanced head-on, so as to find a way to defeat Cheng Han head-on.

It's good to say that Cheng Han can hold out until the two sides Mingjin collects his troops, but I'm afraid that Cheng Han won't be able to support it, and then the Yue Cavalry Battalion will deal with the rout! ”

Chu Yi heard Liu Tai's words, but he didn't know how to complain.

To tell the truth, Chu Yu has never seen a part of the troops like Liu Tai who will free up a part of the troops, which is used exclusively for the final harvest, like Shi Le was chased and killed by the Yue cavalry battalion and the grassroots forces were completely lost, and Liu Yao was as desperate as he fled under the pursuit of the Yue cavalry battalion.

All of them are as long as they are blown up by Liu Tai head-on, they basically have no chance to make a comeback again.

Chu Yu's incomprehension, for Liu Tai, is a kind of instinct to fight.

At least in Liu Tai's impression, the annihilation of living forces in a war has always been repeatedly emphasized in junior high school history classes.

Especially in high school, the annihilation of the bald living force in the three major battles is a must.

Therefore, in Liu Tai's opinion, you have beaten your opponent head-on, and then let the opponent run, and you are a fool to toss back and forth.

If you want to destroy your opponent, you must have a lawn mower elite who is dedicated to chasing and defeating others.

Thinking about who his opponent was, Liu Yao was able to run away in various defeats, and Shi Le was even more defeated and became the commander of a large army.

If you change to a fantasy version, Shi Le is afraid that he will become the best successor of the Emperor of Chaogu, and he will definitely become an emperor with a hundred defeats.

In the face of such an enemy, can you rest assured that you don't make a battalion of Vietnamese cavalry to hunt them down and their living forces?!

Of course, now that the Killing and Killing Yue Cavalry Battalion has also grown, they are really good at killing stragglers now.

Just when Liu Tai and Chu Yu were chatting calmly, a guard soon came to report:

"Good news, great victory, General Zhou annihilated the enemy's army of 100,000, the enemy chief Yang Nandi and Li Xiang gave the head, captured 13,000 people, killed 8,000 people, and the rest fled into Chencang Road, and even many people fell into the valley when they were scrambling for the road!"

Liu Tai smiled slightly when he received this letter, handed the letter to Chu Yi and said, "It seems to be smoother than we expected!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chu Yu also nodded, after this war, Cheng Han could only be beaten passively!

Liu Tai thought of this and said to the guards: "Go and summon Zhang Jun over." ”

Soon Zhang Jun was summoned by Liu Tai, and after seeing Liu Tai, he originally wanted to salute, but Liu Tai waved his hand and said: "This battle report, you take a look at it first!" ”

The chamberlain handed this war report to Zhang Jun, and after Zhang Jun saw the content of the battle report, his face couldn't help but show horror.

Because he knew it was good news, but he didn't expect it to be such good news.

He knew very well that Cheng Han's national strength was not strong, and the loss of these 30,000 strong forces would definitely hurt Cheng Han's vitality.

In particular, the famous general Li Xiang of the Cheng Han Dynasty died in this battle, I am afraid that after this battle, at least ten years, Cheng Han will not have the courage to crusade to the north again, but will just choose to defend in Shu.

But Zhang Jun, who has been here with Liu Tai for a while, knows very well that if Cheng Han chooses this way, he is just waiting for death.

After all, Liu Tai did not attack Chenghan, it was because Liu Tai's food was insufficient, so he developed the Zhengguo Canal to increase grain, built a road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and transported the grain from the Yellow River Valley to Luoyang.

Liu Tai is waiting for enough food, and then attacking Shudi, if you become a shrinking turtle in Shudi, then what are you waiting for, waiting for death?

Liu Tai didn't know what Zhang Jun was thinking, but Liu Tai said to Zhang Jun:

"I want to appoint and dismiss you as an angel and go to reward Zhou Ping. Of course, I went to Li Ju's place and went with him to see Zhang Mao.

I hope he will do it himself, and you will inherit the position of Liangzhou Assassin and change the banner!

How about it, are you interested in doing the sixteen-year-old Liangzhou Thorn History! ”

When Zhang Jun heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but breathe quickly, and said to Liu Tai, "Your Majesty's order!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Tai wrote a few more wills to Zhang Jun, including a commendation for Zhou Ping, and a stronger will to let him be responsible for the destruction of Cheng Han.

There is a share to Li Ju, if Zhang Mao surrenders, then you are the governor of Liangzhou, in charge of the military, if you don't surrender, then escort Zhang Jun away, and return to Chang'an first.

Of course, the most important thing is the promise to Zhang Mao, now surrendering Zhang Jun can work in the position of Liangzhou Assassin until death, and the Zhang family will become a wealthy family in Liangzhou in the next few days.

To be honest, like Zhang Mao's surrender to Liu Tai at this time, it is a bit like the surrender of Wu Yueqian's family in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the courtesy he received, even if Liu Tai wants to get a hundred family names in the future, Zhang can be ranked behind Liu.

Of course, this kind of thing has to pay attention to timing, like a small island, if it returns before the reform and opening up of the rabbit, it will be the leader who will be treated as a high-ranking official in the future.

If Hong Kong returns after the return to the motherland, it will be a special zone treatment with military power, and it will also have a special zone treatment if it returns before the old witch lands.

But now he is still obsessed, and after the reunification of the armed forces, he may still have to hang it in the name of Fujian.

Liu Tai knew very well that if he won this war, it would be impossible for him to cross the Qinling Mountains to conquer Shu because of grain and grass.

Then give full play to the political influence that this war should have, and let Zhang Mao recognize the reality clearly!

To be honest, Zhang Mao is still quite concerned about this war.

Cheng Han took the initiative to attack Liu Tai, and Zhang Mao, who claimed to be a loyal minister of the Jin court, more or less had some expectations for Cheng Han.

After all, Liu Tai obviously doubted himself, and actually sent Li Ju to be stationed in the street pavilion, making it look like he would take the initiative to attack at any time.

However, Zhang Mao didn't want to attack Liu Tai, after all, even if he wanted to attack, he would have to wait until Cheng Han defeated the Han army.

At that time, he will raise troops to attack Li Ju, after all, in Xiliang, it is too normal for the city head to change the king's flag.

Although the Zhang family is relatively different in Xiliang, even so, now Zhang Mao is still a loyal minister of the Jin court, and the initiative to attack has been defeated, and Liu Tai himself has no psychological pressure.

As for his nephew, it is his eldest brother's life, if his nephew dies, it is a big deal that his son will pass on to his deceased eldest brother, which can be regarded as inheriting the incense.

It's just that because of the blockade of Li Ju's cavalry, Zhang Mao didn't know how to fight this war.

But Zhang Mao knows very well that this war can definitely change the pattern of this region.

Just when Zhang Mao was extremely anxious, Li Ju led the army to come, and Zhang Jun as a Han envoy also came!

"The court?! You're back! Zhang Mao, who heard the news, watched Zhang Jun's arrival in disbelief.

To be honest, using protons as envoys was something that Zhang Mao didn't expect at all.

Zhang Jun listened to the words that Zhang Mao chose for himself when he left, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and say to Zhang Mao, "Uncle, I'm back!" ”

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! Let me see, you've lost weight and blackened these days! Zhang Mao couldn't help but sigh.

"I was arranged by His Majesty in the Tiger Army, practicing day and night, and it is normal to be black and thin!" Zhang Jun didn't want to continue to talk to Zhang Mao, but said to Zhang Mao quite seriously, "Uncle, the decisive battle between Yan Han and Cheng Han has been decided!" ”

"How did it turn out?" When Zhang Mao heard Zhang Jun's words, he couldn't help but grab Zhang Jun's shoulder and asked.

"Yang Nandi was dismembered by a knife, and the corpse was incomplete, so he could only be identified by the clothes on his body.

Li Xiang, the commander of the Cheng Han Dynasty, was defeated and killed himself, and the 30,000 troops of the Cheng and Han Dynasty were either killed, captured or fled, and the whole army was wiped out.

And I just came back from Chen Cang, and I saw the battlefield that was cleaned by Yan Han with my own eyes! Zhang Jun said in a low voice.

"It's over-......" Zhang Mao couldn't help sighing when he heard Zhang Jun's words, and raised his head to look at Zhang Jun at this moment, "You came over this time, Liu Tai asked you to come!" ”

Zhang Jun didn't have anything to say, but he took out the will given by Liu Tai from his hand and said, "Uncle, you can see it yourself!" ”

When Zhang Mao heard Zhang Jun's words, he opened Liu Tai's will, which had the conditions given by Liu Tai, and also made him give way to Zhang Jun's request, and even this will was sent by Liu Tai to Zhang Jun in person.

Compared with the conditions of this will, Zhang Mao attaches more importance to Liu Tai asking Zhang Jun to send the will itself.

This incident showed Zhang Mao that Liu Tai didn't care whether Zhang Mao wanted to continue to resist stubbornly.

If it was Zhang Mao in the past, then he thought that he was relying on Liangzhou, not to mention taking the initiative to attack Liu Tai, at least trying to defend, and he should be able to resist Liu Tai's troops.

But in Liu Tai's army, the little-known Zhou Ping killed the famous general Li Xiang of the Cheng Han Dynasty, and told Zhang Mao with bloody facts how strong Liu Tai's troops were, and what would happen if he chose to resist stubbornly!

Zhang Mao finished reading the will, and then looked at Zhang Jun and said:

"Gongting, you have been to Chang'an in person and have seen Liu Tai with your own eyes, but you told me what you have seen and heard!"

"How is Liu Tai himself?!" Zhang Mao asked at Zhang Jun seriously.

"Although Your Majesty is not in the first year, he is wise and decisive, magnificent, good at strategizing, and winning a thousand miles!" Zhang Jun said quite seriously to Zhang Mao at this moment.

When Zhang Mao heard Zhang Jun's words, he nodded and said, "What about private life?" ”

"Your Majesty has an emperor, two concubines, three sons and four daughters, of which the harem is fully ruled by the queen Wang's family, and the eldest son Liu An is five years old, and he was made the crown prince soon after His Majesty ascended the throne." Zhang Jun replied to Zhang Mao,

"I think it should be that there is God to help the Liu family, the children born to His Majesty, whether male or female, have not died so far, so they all believe that Your Majesty is blessed by God Liu, and he wants to clean up the mountains and rivers again!"

"Is the harem peaceful, is the society stable......" Zhang Mao listened to Zhang Jun say this, and said to Zhang Jun, "How long do you think I can resist if I choose to resist Liu Tai?" ”

Zhang Jun thought about it, but stretched out a finger.

"A year?!" Zhang Mao heard Zhang Jun's words, but he was thoughtful.

"If you count the moment when the Han army starts to attack the city, then the city where we are now will not be able to hold out for a day!" Zhang Jun said to Zhang Mao quite seriously.

"No kidding!" Zhang Mao couldn't help but say angrily when he heard Zhang Jun's words.

"Uncle, this matter is related to the survival of our Zhang family, am I joking!" ZHANG Jundao,

"Not to mention that the Han Dynasty has countless government soldiers, and when they hear the war, they are happy, and they constantly replenish the front line,

The soldiers of the Han army's real conquest battlefield are all in armor, and there are really more than 100,000 armor soldiers wearing iron armor, who can have such power since the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention, the Han army would disassemble the siege weapons into pieces and wait for the destination to be assembled.

In other words, when the Han army arrives at its destination, it will be able to immediately use a thunderbolt to throw stones the next day, with which of our cities here in Liangzhou can resist it!

Uncle, be sober, the big man doesn't come to beat you, he just doesn't want to hit you! ”

When Zhang Mao heard Zhang Jun's words, he involuntarily took a step back, and the strength of the Han army described by Zhang Jun was simply beyond imagination.

And Zhang Jun continued, "After the Han army took Chang'an, it has always chosen to recuperate.

Because His Majesty's starting place is in Qingzhou and Hebei, Chang'an does not have enough food for attack.

Now, whether Your Majesty is reclaiming the Zhengguo Canal or rebuilding the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, it is for the smooth circulation of grain.

When His Majesty feels that the food savings are enough, he will either attack Shu or Liangzhou!

Uncle, let's recognize the reality, if no one can shake the Han army in the field today, the world will inevitably return to the Han Dynasty! ”

"I ...... Got it! Zhang Mao listened to Zhang Jun's words, his whole expression suddenly turned gray, and he said to Zhang Jun, "This Liangzhou will be handed over to you." ”

Two months after the Battle of Chencang, Zhang Mao passed the position of Liangzhou Assassin to Zhang Jun on the grounds of illness.

Zhang Jun's first order after becoming the assassin of Liangzhou was to change the flag and choose to return to the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Ju entered Liangzhou to take over the military of Liangzhou, Liu Tai thanked Zhang Jun for his merits, gave Wuwei Hou, and continued to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou, Li Ju was the governor of Liangzhou, responsible for cleaning up the bandits in the counties of Liangzhou.

The Northwest changes flags!
