RNP Chapter 159
Chapter 159
"Lord, Ma Teng Han sent someone to send a letter, please ask the Lord to see!"
In the study of the prefecture pastor's mansion, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng came to see Liu Jun with a letter.
Liu Jun took the letter, hurriedly read it, and handed it back to Pang Tong and Fazheng.
"Hah... Ma Teng Han Sui could not bear the loneliness, and wanted to capture Chang'an, hoping that we would send troops to Luoyang, cut off the retreat of the Cao army, and block the reinforcements.
"Cao Cao is newly defeated and anxious to move the capital, it is inevitable that other princes will think about it!" What does the Lord mean, are we sending troops? Fazheng asked.
"Agree to Ma Teng's request, but there is no need to send troops!" Liu Jian said with a smile.
"Master, since you have already agreed, why don't you send troops?" Fa Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Zhong Xiu will not be defeated, Ma Chao can't beat Chang'an!"
"How can the Lord see it?" Fa Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Ma Chao was brave and resourceful, and was regarded by the Qiang people as a great general of Shenwu. If he leads the army alone, with his superior strength, he may be able to defeat Zhong Xiu. However, the formation of a coalition force, not only will the strength not be strengthened, but will also hinder each other! "
Oh..." both Pang Tong and Fa Zheng pondered.
"Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying and the other three have all come to Jingzhou, and I have seen them. Ma Chao is arrogant, Yan Xing's courage, and the scheme of becoming a hero may not be able to be used by him! Liu Jian further explained, "Moreover, Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu are also princes of one side, if Ma Teng Han Sui is a handsome, he can still be suppressed, and Ma Chao Yan Xing may not let these two submit!" "
Historically, Ma Chao alone, with his martial courage and the ferocity of the Western Liang Iron Horse, killed Cao Cao to abandon his robe and cut his beard. But after Han Sui came, this plus one was far less than two, and the result was a fiasco. Han Sui still can't let Ma Chao obey, let alone Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying!
"There is another point, that is, Liu Bei will never go out of the Xie Valley and the Northern Expedition to Cao Cao!" Liu Jun threw out another point of view.
"The Lord is right, Liu Bei's purpose is to capture Hanzhong!" Pang Tong's understanding of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei was still very deep.
"Capture Hanzhong?" Fa Zheng was a little unconvinced, "Liu Bei only has 10,000 soldiers and horses!" There are 450,000 troops in Hanzhong!
"If Zhang Lu defended in danger, Liu Beimo said that there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even if there were 30,000, it would be difficult to capture Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu led the wolf into the house and buried the root of the disaster." Zhuge Liang has the ability to be unfathomable, and Zhang Luyanpu and others are his opponents. Without Liu Bei's assistance, it would be even more impossible for Ma Chao to break Chang'an!
"The Lord is as wise as a torch and far-sighted, I can't wait!" Fa Zheng was sincerely convinced by Liu Jun's heart, "I will reply to Ma Teng Hansui's messenger!"
"Don't be in a hurry, you guys take a look at Koto's intelligence!" Liu Jun handed over a few pieces of information.
After Pang Tong and Fa Zheng read it very carefully, they frowned.
"Sun Quan mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhang, and more than a dozen generals, it seems that he can't bear the loneliness and wants to send troops." Liu Jun stared at a map in the study, "Shiyuan, Xiaozhi, think about it, where does he want to use troops?"
"The closest to Yuzhang is Changsha. However, Sun Quan had also ordered Tai Shici to lead an army across the river to attack Changsha a few years earlier, but was repulsed by General Liu Pan. Now there are 10,000 troops stationed in Changsha, and we and Jiangdong are allies, so our subordinates think that he will not attack Changsha! Pang Tong thought for a moment and said, "As for Nanjun and Jiangxia, it is even more impossible.
Liu Wei also nodded, in fact, he had already thought that Sun Quan would not use troops against Jingzhou. But these are troubled times, covenants are sometimes just dead letters, anything can happen, you should still be careful.
"Lord Gong, it is also unlikely that Sun Quan will send troops to Anhui City and Guangling. Although Cao Cao transferred back some soldiers and horses from two places, there were Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Lejin in Anhuicheng and Hefei, and Zhang Hao, Dong Zhao, and Wen Ping in Guangling, these people were difficult to deal with, and Sun Quan suffered losses, so his subordinates thought that he would not easily send troops! Fazheng said.
"So is Sun Quan going to attack Jiaozhou?" Liu Qi asked.
"Jiaozhou?"
Both Fa Zheng and Pang Tong frowned and thought for a moment.
"The Lord is right, Sun Quan is very likely to attack Jiaozhou!" Pang Tong nodded.
"More than a month ago, Cang Wu Taishou Wu Ju and Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lai Gong raised their swords, and the war is still raging, and it is the best time to capture Jiaozhou. It's just..." Fa Zheng shook his head again.
"Just what?"
"It's just that Lu Su and Zhou Yu didn't move, Jiaozhou has a vast area, Lai Gong, Wu Ju, and Shixie and others are definitely not reckless martial artists, once Jiangdong sends troops, they will definitely join forces with the outside world, and they can't send a general to attack."
"Ha..." Liu Jun smiled, "There are so many talents in Jiangdong!" Lu Xun Lu Boyan is handsome, he is not under Zhou Yu Lusu! "
Lu Xun?" Fa Zheng was obviously unfamiliar with Lu Xun.
"In the battle of Hefei, if Sun Quan had not been ordered to Lu Xun, I am afraid that Jianye would have been lost long ago. The latter should not be taken lightly against this person.
"Thank you Lord for reminding me!" The two saluted Liu Jun.
"Lord, although Wuling is relatively close to Jiaozhou, there are five streams in the middle, and Wuxi barbarians command Shamoke, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, plus the terrain of Wuxi is complicated, we can't reach it!" Pang Tong was obviously a little unwilling to attack Jiaozhou in Jiangdong, but he was helpless.
"The battle of Nanyang is very attrition, we should not send troops now, we must rest and recuperate. However, the movements of the princes everywhere must be grasped clearly at all times. "
No!"
As Cao Cao moved the capital, the princes sharpened their swords, and war was about to begin. However, Jingzhou has ushered in a period of great development.
The crops are growing very well, and under the impetus of various incentives and punishments, there are almost no idle fields in Jingzhou, and it is all a vibrant scene.
The land of Jingzhou is divided into three parts, some for the people, some for the family, and some for the official field, which is cultivated by local officials and county soldiers, similar to military tun. After each major battle, meritorious generals and soldiers are rewarded.
Because the soldiers had land, Liu Jun issued another rule that after more than five years of military service, he could get married, marry a wife and have children. At the same time, disabled soldiers continued to be paid, albeit in small numbers.
In a word, the method that is conducive to increasing the number of people, Liu Jun has to try.
Now the weather is hot, it has not rained for a long time, but it does not affect the growth of crops.
There is no shortage of water in the south, and there are small rivers and streams everywhere. In each river, there are several water wheels constantly turning.
Due to the influence of the industrial level, some modern weapons cannot be manufactured, but how can these agricultural tools such as water wheels and curved plows be rare to withstand Liu Jun?
Business is more prosperous.
Xiangyang has become the absolute commercial center of Dahan, because several of Dahan's iconic goods are now made in Xiangyang.
Iron furniture, curved plows, water wheels, etc. are not only commonly used in the north, but have also been popularized to Western Liang and even the Western Regions.
Due to the best-selling of Wanli Xiangjiu, the development of porcelain and the enrichment of dishes, some vegetables began to be introduced from the Western Regions, and camel caravans that had disappeared for nearly a hundred years on the Silk Road began to appear again.
