Chapter 685: Leveling the World (I)
Shu Dao
The infantry arrived, the army was neat, the flag was waving, although it was in the mountain road, it could not be arrayed, but it stood quietly, and an awe-inspiring murderous aura rushed into the sky.
Guan Yu listened to the report expressionlessly, for a long time, narrowed Danfeng's eyes, and sighed: "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky...... The poems of the Majesty Xià are so vivid. ”
"I've always heard that Shu is difficult, Shu is difficult, a few days ago from Hanzhong, I still think it's just that, today I came here, only to know the true meaning of Shu Dao difficult. ”
"Yes, when I came over, the mountain was dangerous, the valley road was quite spacious, and it could still be broken under the strong attack.
Everyone looked at the endless mountains from north to south, which was originally a plank road on the cliff, and they were all terrified when it was complete, and at this time there were only stumps and holes...... How did the army get in?
I couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, a personal soldier tried a few steps, but as soon as the wind blew, everyone watched him fall, although he grabbed a stump with his hand, he could not last long, and shouted miserably before he died: "General...... My name is Zhang Tongya, and I still have a fifty-year-old lady, begging the general to take care of ......"
Before the words fell, the mountain wind blew, and he couldn't catch it, so he fell.
Although everyone's hearts are like iron stones, they can't help but secretly feel miserable, this road is not to enter.
Guan Yu watched the remnants of the cliff plank road stretch forward from not far in front of him, all the way to the clouds, and his face was blue.
A song "Will Enter the Wine" is full of dangers and difficulties, and the lofty mountains and mountains are insurmountable obstacles under simple traffic conditions, not to mention that Shu and the Central Plains are separated by the Daba Mountains and the Qinling Mountains.
When Liu Yan went back, he lit a fire and burned the plank road, and Xu Huang, the vanguard of the pursuit, stared, but there was no way, although the cavalry he led was brave, he couldn't fly.
The plank road is destroyed, and it is difficult to enter the army if it is not repaired, and if the plank road is repaired, even if there are magicians and Taoist soldiers, it will take two years.
"General, if the Shu Road is burned, you can also go up from the Jingzhou Waterway. ”
"The Three Gorges water risk, having to pull the boat, is also very difficult. Guan Yu said this gloomily, and then asked the people of the sorcerer group: "Such a natural danger, can you be too careful?"
"It is still possible to use the Dao method to infiltrate a small unit, but I am afraid that this person will not be able to threaten Shuzhong. The sorcerers looked at each other, and someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in embarrassment.
Guan Yu didn't speak again, and ordered: "Immediately report the latest situation to His Majesty and wait for the will." ”
"Yes!"
Luoyang Imperial Palace
"Majesty, Hanzhong urgent. "The Taoist law transmits a message, three thousand miles a day, which is slower than a telegram, but across Hanzhong to Luoyang, it is less than a day, and the imperial case is delivered.
"Hmm!" Ye Qing sipped his tea, his expression was flat, and he remained silent, and the officials below looked at him in a daze, worried and waiting for the will.
Ye Qing stood up, walked around under the window, looked at the garden in the distance, and said with a sneer: "Don't want Liu Yan to be so decisive, and be determined to resist the heavenly soldiers?"
Liu Yan, the word Junlang, a native of Jiangxia Jingling, a descendant of Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, successively served as the official of Luoyang Ling, Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang and so on.
After asking the imperial court for Yizhou pastor, Fengyang Chenghou, went to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials, Liu Yan entered Yizhou, sent Zhang Lu to entrench in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu cut off the traffic, beheaded the Han envoy, Yizhou and the central road are not passable.
The princes of the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan also refused to send troops, in 191 AD, Liu Yan legend of the signs of the sage, to create public opinion, to be called the emperor.
Such a person will be plotting to seek the world, and if the world fails, he will also be divided.
Seeing that the emperor was pondering, the people around him didn't even dare to breathe, and waited with their hands down, fearing that the emperor's thunderous anger would be aroused, in fact, Ye Qing let go at this time.
Ye Qing didn't care much about the progress, he once remembered that Zhuge Liang took Hanzhong against him, and when Cao Cao was forced to retreat to the valley, he sighed "chicken ribs", the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it.
This is still a contest between the Cao Wei Group's 10 million population and 2 million Shu Han population, and now for the 40 million people of the New Han Empire to preserve its vitality, this Shu land is just a small copy.
His gaze turned more to the grassland, paying attention to Murong Zheng's movements, according to the secret detectives mixed in the border caravan, the Xianbei clan obviously integrated all the ethnic groups and officially established the state, which meant the stability of the pattern and the beginning of the real transformation of dragon qi.
Ye Qing was not angry about this, he wanted to see who grew faster and who couldn't help it.
In accordance with the first five-year plan, the empire made every effort to restore the water conservancy system and agricultural production, and the military budget was very small, but the war preparations were still carried out all the time.
That's enough.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qing turned around and ordered in a deep voice: "Send someone to build the Shu Road, list it as a project, and hand it over to the cabinet to deal with this matter." ”
"The Three Gorges waterway, widened at the same time, can be blown up by fire and thunder. ”
"At this time, the magician lurked in, Liu Yan and Shu are both outsiders, I want to unify the world, megatron the world, and Liu Yan was defeated before, one eliminates the other, and no one responds if I don't believe in Shu. ”
"Shu is difficult, first Pingliangzhou, and then the state is. ”
"Yes!" Someone immediately responded, and quickly wrote the decree, Ye Qing read it carefully, put on the jade seal, and released it.
Luoyang quickly transferred Guan Yu and the group of prime-aged generals under his command, and reassigned Zhao Yun to lead Lu Xun, Lu Meng, and Wei Yan to the field.
The new generation of young generals needs to grow up, and the new blood has ushered in the same barracks, and all units of the Central Northern Army are also taking turns to dispatch new recruits to prepare for the big war against the grassland in the coming day.
Liangzhou insisted for two years, but finally couldn't hold on, surrendered, and merged the state with unification.
For a time, only Shu was not peaceful in the world, it became a stalemate, there were many small wars in the newspapers, and the people of Luoyang were used to this kind of continuous war...... It's a long way off.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been five years of Yingwu, and another year of summer.
The wheat and rice in the field gradually faded to greenness, and the peach orchard of Nangong in Luoyang was full of fairy fruits, which not only showed that the saplings of the mother cuttings had grown, but also showed that the land of Shenzhou was prosperous, and it was not far from the acceptance of the first five-year plan.
And militarily, there was a comic twist in Shudi.
In the cold winter of last year, Liu Yan, the former king of Shu, was sick and lingered for a whole winter, and when he was unwilling to die in the early spring, he passed on the throne to Liu Zhang, who was only a cowardly young son.
After three years of construction, the Shu Road was basically restored, and the foundation of Shu had been greatly weakened, all relying on Liu Yan's strongman means to suppress it, and his death from illness directly shook the rule.
Liu Zhang was helpless in the face of such a mess.
This is not a matter of food consumption, the country of abundance under Dujiangyan is still very rich, and the population is also millions, but in the face of the trend of the great unification of the new Han Dynasty, the people's hearts have been scattered - in the original history, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang ran Shu for decades, and the first generation died or declined, Liu Adou could still support it for a few years, but Liu Zhang did not have this condition, nor did he have the tenacity and iron fist of his father.
Liu Zhang's older brothers were strong and promising, but Liu Mao died early (his wife Wu Amaranth Lise, the sister of the chariot general Wu Yi, and later remarried Liu Bei as the queen), Liu Fan and Liu Dan later died in history by rebelling against Dong Zhuo, and now they have been working as civil officials in Luoyang.
Some of the meaning of restraint is more that he has good ability and is very righteous and righteous, and has been appreciated by the emperor and promoted.
The three existing brothers are enemies of each other, just like the three brothers of Zhuge Liang in history, Wei Shu and Wu, and people regard them as normal at the time.
When the emperor was ripe in the garden, he held a feast of ministers in the West Garden on the outskirts of the city, and after the banquet, he left these families to take a walk under the moon, and no one knew what he said.
In fact, Ye Qing just chatted about their father Liu Yan's past life and expressed his emotion.
Liu Fan and Liu Dan cautiously followed the emperor to answer, and finally rested together in the pavilion, and only dared to sit down after the emperor gave the emperor's orders.
"In the past, the world was in turmoil, and my father wrote to the Quartet for many things, the reason was that the power of the assassination history was light, please use the clan and important ministers as the pastors of remote states, and the military and political power was monopolized to suppress the bandits......"
"To be fair, this is fundamentally the fact that my father already has the ambition to win the crown at this time......" Before the words were finished, Liu Fan and Liu Dan were covered in sweat with fright, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to plead.
"Get up, this has nothing to do with you, although this weakens the central government and accelerates the collapse of the old dynasty, it saves the vitality of the Liu family, so that it will not hang on the rotten wood, and make a new appearance in the corners of the Quartet, and have a chance to prosper. ”
Ye Qing said this, remembering that Liu Yanyizhou, Liu Yu Youzhou, Liu Biaojingzhou, and Liu Bei ran away in history, and said with a smile: "I can rise, and it is also my father's work." ”
Liu Fan and Liu Dan only felt that their backs were soaked, and when they glanced at each other, they thanked each other in fear and said: "Your Majesty has its own destiny, and the dragon qi is displayed in the White Rabbit Mountain, which shows that the ancestor has a spirit and extraordinary human skills." ”
"Heh......" Ye Qing's face became strange, he was such an obvious copycat auspicious back then, and since the manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Transformation Dao Method, it really made more and more people of insight believe it...... This aspect has lowered Yingjie's IQ, which is really a bit ashamed.
This evil thought flashed through him, and he understood that the two young officials were in a panic, but it was difficult to say that he really admired their father's courage.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if he wanted to become the second in Guangwu and take action, the first one was Liu Yan.
In history, during the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zhang modified the Tianyi League for the five buckets of rice Dao, when the spirit of the Han Dynasty was still very strong, Liu Yan rode into Shu alone, with Wu Yi and a group of core civil and military forces, and suppressed the rebellion of the Church in Shu in one fell swoop.
Liu Yan at this time made Bashu and Hanzhong unified, which was the road of Liu Bang's counterattack on Xiang Yu that year, and it can also be said that in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, it had the power map of the later Shu Han, and he ruled for eight years.
Compared with the Shu Han Group established by Liu Bei for 20 years, Liu Yan is the fastest one to establish the secession power in Shu, and I have to say that the strong inertia accumulated by the two dynasties of the old Liu family is the second Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
However, Liu Yan's failure was that he did not go to Luoyang to participate in the princes' discussion of Dong - the idea of fighting or "fighting with the clam and the fisherman profiting", so that the heroes of the Kanto region and Dong Zhuo of the Kansai region consumed each other's strength, but this lost the political righteousness and made the pattern smaller.
