Compared with Liu Tai, who won the war, he forced Zhang Mao to surrender.

At this time, Li Xiong heard that Li Xiang had died in battle, and the veterans he had cultivated with great difficulty in the process of conquering Shu were almost lost, which had to make Li Xiong vomit blood directly.

However, Li Xiong was holding his body in the end, and immediately ordered the army that had gone to ambush Fu Luodao's camp to return to Hanzhong to defend himself when Li Xiang and Zhou Ping were holding each other, so as to prevent Liu Tai's army from entering directly, and not to mention the attack.

It can be said that Li Xiong was not distressed at all when Yang Nan's soldiers were damaged, but Li Xiang and his subordinates actually encountered such a fiasco, but it made the entire Chenghan regime suddenly shake up.

After all, in any dynasty in ancient times, if the main army of the country lost more than 10,000 people, it would be a fiasco.

Not to mention that 30,000 people were lost this time, and Cheng Han had just pacified the secession regime in Shu, and he was even more seriously damaged.

Li Xiong was already in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, and even Li Jiachenghan's control over Shu was inevitably loosened.

If it weren't for Li Xiong's lenient treatment of people, although his subordinates were difficult to resist, they were not completely disobedient to orders, at this time he could have waited for his subordinates to rebel, but even in the current situation, Li Xiong was quite difficult.

It can be said that this battle directly knocked out Cheng Han's luck for ten years, of course, if Cheng Han still has ten years.

Of course, Liu Tai naturally won't give Cheng Han that much time, but Liu Tai still has to wait for the maintenance of the road from Zheng Guoqu and Chang'an to Luoyang.

If these two projects are not built well, his army will not have food to crusade, and Liu Tai can only wait slowly.

However, Zhang Mao chose to return in the end, and for Liu Tai, the burden on Liangzhou's side can be reduced by a few points.

Don't say it, after arranging Li Ju to be the governor of Liangzhou, Zhou Ping can wholeheartedly prepare to take Hanzhong.

And victory can often solve most of the problems in the development process, such as the various families in Chang'an who surrendered to themselves, as well as those Xiongnu nobles, who were more or less vaguely against Liu Tai's policies, or cheating.

After all, it was surrendered, and the local relationship in Chang'an was not fully cleaned up, and it is very normal that there are some problems inside.

But after Zhou Ping killed Li Xiang and Zhang Mao surrendered to Liu Tai, most of them quieted down.

After all, they are from Chang'an, and it can be said that they have been harassed by Zhang Mao, Yang Nandi, and Chen An for a long time, and Cheng Han and Li Xiong are even more of a male lord in their eyes, and they don't seem to be much worse than Liu Bei.

But now, after Liu Tai occupied Chang'an, it was only a short period of two years, Longyou was fully recovered, Xiliang returned to the Han Dynasty, and even Cheng Han, who wanted to send troops to test Liu Tai, was directly cut off his claws!

Liu Tai's ferocity was vividly displayed at this moment, and in the face of this kind of murderer, no one dared to mess around under Liu Tai's nose.

Especially with the situation stabilizing, Chen Yuanda and Gou Chun, these two guys, are even more of a headache for everyone.

Chen Yuanda stared at the family's legislation, Gou Chun stared at the family's tax collection, how could the family not have a headache when they watched them!

To be honest, they would have tried to fool around, but this year, even if there were any gentlemen in their clan, they didn't need the court to take action, they themselves would clean up the so-called gentlemen.

Gou Chun collected taxes from them, and even if they would mumble a few words after Gou Chun left, they still obediently paid the taxes in the end.

It can only be said that they have completely accepted their fate, and they clearly know that they will either wait until Liu Tai dies before their families can make a comeback, and the most important thing now is to let the family survive, as for a little money, it will be handed over.

It's better than being bumped into by Liu Tai, whose prestige has reached the peak at this time, if he is really caught, Liu Tai wants to kill, then no one can stop him!

It's just that Liu Tai didn't follow these families to deal with the Xiongnu nobles, and he was quiet for a while if he could.

Liu Tai first met with Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping, who returned with the soldiers, gave the reward according to the custom, but Liu Tai said to Zhou Ping, "You come with me to have a look!" ”

When Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't refuse, and immediately followed Liu Tai to the prison.

And on this day, in addition to the existence of Xie Fei, who is in charge of the prison, even if Ge Hong actually came today!

Of course, in addition to them, there are many workers who are discussing something around a bamboo basket.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Xie Fei and Ge Hong saw Liu Tai's arrival, but they saluted one after another!

"Excuse me!" Liu Tai waved his hand, then looked at the two of them and said, "How are you ready?" ”

"Your Majesty, after you arrived in Chang'an, you ordered us to study the giant Kong Ming lantern, which has been successfully invented after two years of exploration. I've experimented with livestock a few times before, and all of them are unharmed, but now it's as you say to use people to give it a try! ”

Xie Fei replied to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai heard Xie Fei's words and nodded approvingly.

Hot air balloons, in Liu Tai's opinion, are necessary equipment for attacking Shudi, otherwise would it really be impossible to rely on training soldiers, and then fall down the mountain wrapped in cotton clothes, and learn from Deng Ai to smuggle through Yinping.

Don't think about it, Liu Tai just wants to be equipped to crush.

Not to mention, when the unification of Shu was completed in the future, before the Tianlu that he planned to cross the Qinling Mountains was repaired, Liu Tai also hoped that the hot air balloon could be as civilian as possible, and then worked hard to develop a cableway to combine the two.

I don't expect to be able to load people, but as long as I can transport goods, the imperial court's management of Shu can be greatly enhanced.

At that time, if he wanted to develop the Yunnan region, it would not be impossible for the Han Dynasty to expand into the Indian Ocean two or three hundred years later.

After all, after crossing the Qinling Mountains and having a mature plan, it is relatively simple to deal with the Hengduan Mountains next, and for the imperial court, all that remains is the question of whether it is worth it.

The big deal is that after his death, he left a holy decree, saying that the land of China can only support the population of 25 million households, and if you want China to survive forever, you must cross the Nanban before the population of China reaches 20 million households, and obtain the land that can produce five stones per mu and grow three times a year.

In any case, as long as he completes the unification, and then devotes his whole life to the development of this heavenly road in Shu, whether the emperor believes it or not, he will definitely invest his strength to investigate and probe the body poison.

At that time, as long as it is proved that the land can really be harvested three times a year, and the yield per mu is five stones, I am afraid that the entire Han will riot!

Of course, these things are still too far away, and the most important thing now is to get the hot air balloon out first.

This kind of thing, Liu Tai is simple to say, but it is not easy to do.

First of all, the tightness, how to control the flame, it seems that the Kong Ming lantern is very simple to fly, but it is different when it is replaced by a human.

To be honest, if it is only made to fly with the wind like Kong Ming lanterns, it is naturally simple.

But if you want to operate the flame, you can only let Ge Hong, the guy who has been playing with the flame, solve it.

Of course, just in case, something like a parachute, Liu Tai has also let the soldier master it in advance to ensure that he can not lose his life when he falls.

And as long as his life is not lost, the state will take care of him for the rest of his life, otherwise he can only take care of his wife.

At this moment, Liu Tai watched with bated breath as the manned hot air balloon took off for the first time in history.

The soldier took a deep breath and lit the bonfire of the hot air balloon, only to see the hot air blowing up the canvas as the special coals burned.

At this moment, I saw that the whole balloon flew up at this time, taking off into the sky, and after a while, the bamboo basket was raised, and the rope that bound it began to tighten, and Xie Fei began to let people let go of the rope one by one!

I saw this hot air balloon soar up and fly up in everyone's surprised eyes.

After about two quarters of an hour in the sky, perhaps the fuel he brought was burned out, but he saw the hot air balloon begin to fall slowly, and this time the manned hot air balloon was completed very smoothly.

"Your Majesty, this Kong Ming lantern can carry people?! It's amazing! Zhou Ping looked at Liu Tai and sighed.

"This is a sharp weapon for you to prepare for the attack on Shudi!" Liu Tai opened his mouth and said, "Shu is mostly lofty mountains and mountains, and the checkpoints are remarkable.

Therefore, this year, you need to select the elite in the army, so that the elite can master this displacement weapon, so that they can avoid difficulties and obstacles.

When the time comes, whether you hit the front and back of the level, or let it cut off the back of the food, it just depends on how you use it.

The carrying capacity of this thing is limited, and even if the soldiers can reach the other side, they are afraid that it will be difficult to transport the armor over.

Of course, there is also the most crude use of this kind of thing, which is to let them bring fire oil, and then fly into the sky and smash it down on the city, and then release rockets on the ground to cooperate.

But in the end, you need to train and try it slowly, and in short, when you get your feet off the ground, new tactics are born.

It's just that you need to remember that the life of every soldier who can operate a hot air balloon is much more expensive than the hot air balloon itself, and you should pay attention to how to use it. ”

"The last general understands that the last general must make good use of this divine weapon!"

At this moment, Zhou Ping looked at the hot air balloon in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a little heat.

Because he knows very well that after he masters the hot air balloon, he will be more sure of conquering Shudi.

Liu Tai soon handed over the supervisor and dispatcher craftsman to Zhou Ping to cooperate with him in training his soldiers to operate hot air balloons.

Liu Tai understands very well that in this process, there will inevitably be many soldiers who will die in the usual training.

Just as the training cost of modern air force pilots is much higher than that of the army and navy, although the hot air balloons they make by themselves are rudimentary, they are also the air force, and they need to use their lives to accumulate experience, both the soldiers themselves and the equipment.

It's like every model of modern aircraft basically has the experience and blood and sweat accumulated by top pilots.

This kind of hot air balloon also needs the sacrifice of the top air force to be replaced.

It can be said that after Liu Tai introduced the hot air balloon to Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping completely sank into the training hot air balloon unit.

And in this process, Zhou Ping also really saw the risks of the Air Force's non-commissioned officers in the training process.

For example, the rope was not tied securely, and the bamboo basket fell off naturally during the process of the balloon being raised, causing a hot air balloon operator to fall from the sky and die.

Because of this incident, the craftsman in charge of inspecting the rope was directly punished for dereliction of duty, and even the whole family was implicated.

At the same time, part of the Air Force chose to withdraw, and some people were re-recruited.

However, since then, the non-commissioned officers of the Air Force have one more rule, that is, to check all the equipment themselves.

In addition to these, like the sparks that ignited the canvas when adding coal, like a hot air balloon that was blown on its side because of a sudden strong wind, which did not bear enough weight......

All in all, every time the Air Force adds an additional targeted order, it basically means that there is an accident!

Zhou Ping finally understood why Liu Tai would tell him that the life of every soldier who can operate a hot air balloon is more valuable than the hot air balloon itself.

Of course, at this time, Liu Tai was sharpening his knives against Shudi, and on the other hand, he was accumulating his own grain and grass towards Chang'an, and was fully prepared to attack Shudi, so relatively speaking, the next time was calmer.

And Liu Tai finally had time to spare time and began to arrange educational courses for his son Liu An.

Because Liu An is five years old, Liu Tai knows that children of this age should normally go to kindergarten, and it is no longer the age to stay in their mother's arms and breastfeed.

So Liu Tai immediately arranged a corresponding teacher for Liu An, Liu Tai thought about it again and again, and still chose Ge Hong as the mathematics teacher, and Xun Sui as the history teacher.

Liu Tai said that Liu An is still young, and the most important thing now is to cultivate his hobbies, rather than forcing him to study.

So Xun Sui, you will tell him some historical stories from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, so that he can have a general impression.

As for Ge Hong, you teach him some math problems that can be applied in life, so that he can understand the role of mathematics.

In any case, the profession of the prince and the prince is respectable, so both Xun Xuan and Ge Hong began to try to teach Liu An according to what they thought, so that Liu An was interested in mathematics and history.

Liu Tai sent someone to record that these two guys educated Liu An's diary, and later sorted it out, maybe it could become a teaching material for children, of course, when they wanted to make fun of Liu An's guy in the future, they would let people pick out a certain paragraph and read it.

Well, that scene, Liu Tai believes must be very interesting.

However, Liu An's happy study life probably lasted until he was seven or eight years old.

After all, at that time, he will be at the age of elementary school, and then he will be able to arrange a companion and a targeted group of teachers, so that he can know what elite education is.

If he is wrong about something, he can teach his companion a hard lesson!

Of course, just when Liu Tai began to slow down the rhythm slightly, the rhythm on Jin Ting's side became more and more tense.

Especially when Li Xiong really felt the crisis and sent an envoy to the Jin court to tell Liu Tai in detail what he had done after taking Chang'an, the atmosphere within the Jin court became even more tense.

Because Sima Shao knew very well that if he didn't solve Wang Dun again, and when Liu Tai finished cleaning up Li Xiong, then Jin Ting was afraid that he would not even have the capital to rule the river.
