RNP Chapter 483
Chapter 483
"After the battle between the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Western Qiang, it is no longer a concern, the northern part of my Great Han has been completely pacified, but the Western Regions are still restless!" Liu Jian put down the information and shook his head.
"The Lord is right, the Western Regions are too important to us now!"
During the reign of Emperor Wudi of Han, although Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions and opened the way to trade, the Han Dynasty's tax revenue mainly relied on grain, and commerce was only a small part, and the Silk Road did not seem to be very important.
But now it is different, many officials have discovered the importance of commerce, it is precisely because of commerce that the Han prospered and became rich, even if Cao Cao, who occupies the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Sun Quan, who occupies the important land in the south, can not be compared with the Han. Dahan can be said to be rich flowing oil!
There are dozens of countries in the Western Regions, their area is vast, and they are very far from the hinterland of the Great Han, and it is not easy to conquer.
"The Silk Road is very important to us, without conquering the Western Regions, this trade route, there is no guarantee that there are four small countries against us and big Han today, if we just stop like this, they will come and go whenever they want, so that Liangzhou will not be peaceful!"
"Lord wants to continue conquering the Western Regions?" Fazheng asked.
"There are dozens of countries in the Western Regions, some of which are thousands of miles away from us, and it is not the best policy to conquer them one by one. We are going to kill a hundred and give them a shock!
"Is the Lord going to conquer the four kingdoms of Loulan, Guizi, Wusun, and Khotan?"
"Yes, whoever offends me will be condemned from afar!" Liu Jun's voice was sonorous and full of confidence, which made Fazheng, Shi A, and even Cai Yan feel a burst of excitement in their hearts!
"Well, the Lord has this ambition, and his subordinates will convey the Lord Father's order to Kong Ming and Zhengfang!"
Liu Jun took out a pen and quickly wrote down one of Wang Changling's seven unique poems on the paper.
"Send this poem too, Kong Ming naturally knows what to do!"
Fa Zheng and Cai Yan, watching at the same time.
"Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at the jade gate pass. Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken!
"Lord, what a poem, it makes people feel good to read!" Fa Zheng was excited.
"Wang Ye's talent, Mo said that no one can match it in contemporary times, even if it is Qu Yuan, it is also between Bozhong!" Cai Yan praised sincerely.
"The will of this king is to read all the books of the world, see the beautiful scenery of the Dahan landscape, walk to the water's edge, sit and watch the clouds rise, and finally be able to do a great Confucianism like Ling Zun, preaching, teaching, and solving confusion for students, so that my Han language and Tao will prosper." It's a pity that in troubled times, I have to carry a three-foot sword and kill all the evil in the world? Today's
Liu Jun has also learned to pretend to be forced in front of the ancients, and pretend not to blush and his heart to beat.
But just this moment, let Cai Yan admire again, walk to the poor place of water, sit and watch the clouds rise, this sticky sentence, I am afraid that other so-called Confucian search stomach may not be able to write it! Heavenly Wizard, I'm afraid that's it!
After the Battle of Xiping City, Liu Wei prepared to return to Luoyang, and as for the subsequent conquest of Loulan and other four small countries in the Western Regions, he did not need to worry about it at all. Even Li Yan and Zhuge Liang were a little wasteful there, so that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun led a team of soldiers and horses was enough to complete.
Things in Beidi County were also settled, and the potato cultivation under the responsibility of Li Sanhuai, the captain of the Dian Agricultural School, also progressed, and Liu Jun put Huangfuhong in charge of making some water wheels and building some canals, preparing to divert the water of the Wuding River to some fields for irrigation. Although potatoes are very drought-tolerant, Northland County is too short of rain to solve the water problem, and he cannot complete his afforestation plan, and the desert will become more and more serious.
The affairs of Jing Yuanjun were handed over to Fa Zheng and Wang Ping, and Liu Jun was also very relieved, Fa Zheng was a qualified strategist, and in previous history, if there was no Zhuge Liang's light shrouded, Fa Zheng would definitely leave more reputation.
After all this was arranged, Liu Jun left Jingbian and took Cai Yan and Shi A, as well as three thousand guards, to the south.
Yecheng.
Cao Cao's condition is up and down, and if it gets better, it seems to be back to the old days, full of confidence. But if it gets bad and the headache is cracking, it seems that the day of the end is approaching.
"Master, the war report from Xiliang is here!"
In the back garden of the Wei palace, Jia Xu took out a letter of information to Cao Cao.
"Aren't they confronting each other all the time? Is there a war? Cao Cao was a little surprised, "This Budu root, hasn't he learned Liu Bao's lesson?" Forcibly storming the city will have no effect!
"Lord, the battle is over, and the battle will be won!" Jia Xu shook his head and said.
"What, the battle is over, a battle is decided, so fast?" Cao Cao listened to Jia Xu's words and was taken aback.
At the beginning, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's Guandu took a year to divide the victory and defeat, and there were a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on both sides outside Xiping City. There was no news a few days ago, but now that the winner and loser have been divided, how can it not be surprising?
Cao Cao opened the information and read it carefully, his face full of disbelief.
"Infantry and cavalry fought decisively, and the number was not superior, how could such results be achieved with only one formation?
"Master, this seems incredible, but it is the truth!" Jia Xu couldn't explain it, and he didn't believe it the first time he saw it. But he understands that this is a fact. With such a big war, the scout could not send false or false intelligence.
"What formation did they use?"
"I heard that it is called the Eight Formations Diagram, and it was created by Zhuge Liang!"
"The Eight Formations... Zhuge Liang..." Cao Cao put the information down, stood up, and looked at the rockery stream in the back garden, "There was once a rumor that the Lying Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, whoever gets one person, can win the world. At the beginning, Wolong followed Liu Bei, and Phoenix cast Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was always defeated, I thought that the rumors were false, but I didn't expect that Wolong was indeed a wizard in the world! "
Although Wolong's talent is high, it is not without flaws, and throughout his marches and battles, he has more regular soldiers and less ingenuity. It's just the courage of the Han generals and the strength of the Han soldiers that are the real troubles. Now, Ma Chao has also returned to Liu Cong, making Liu Cong like a tiger! "
Liu Jun..." Cao Cao silently said in his heart, "Obviously the Han Zuo has declined, why did Liu Jingsheng give birth to such a unicorn?" If this son had come out a few years earlier, this king would have been like Xu Zijiang and would be a powerful minister in ruling the world, so why should he be a traitor in this troubled world?
"Lord, the way for the Han army to transmit intelligence has been found! It's incredible!
"What way?"
"Flying Pigeon Pass the Book!"
"Flying Pigeon Book?" Cao Cao was confused, "What is the Flying Pigeon Transmission Book?"
"It's to tie intelligence to the pigeon's leg and let the pigeon fly back!"
"This... This..." Cao Cao's eyes widened, "How is this possible? Pigeons, won't it fly somewhere else? "
