contend

Chapter 315
"Although Huainan was defeated, there were no Sima divisions, and Luoyang's elite were not damaged. Yongliang Sima Fu, Guo Huai, Deng Ai, and Hu Fen were all there." Du Yu looked at the sand table and said.

To a certain extent, the current Yang Zheng and Guo Huai are somewhat dependent on each other.

When Guo Huai falls, Yongliang will complete the integration, and all the pressure will be on Xiping.

When Yang Zheng fell, Sima Fu could concentrate on dealing with Guo Huai.

It is now five years in Jiaping, and Yang Zheng remembers that the historical Guo Huai almost went offline in these few years.

Although the battle of Dongxing was defeated, the situation of the Sima family is very good.

Huainan was the only military town where Sima's hand did not reach.

After this battle, the strength of Huainan, the largest military town in Wei State, was greatly damaged, and the threat to Xuchang in Luoyang was greatly reduced.

Whether the Battle of Dongxing was a deliberate death by Sima Shi is still inconclusive, and there is no evidence, but many things do not need evidence in the first place. You can get a glimpse of it just by looking at who benefits.

Wei Guan stroked his long beard and said, "Master Sima's move to defend against Zhuge Dan and Guanqiu Jian is even more brilliant. Now Zhuge Ke has won a great victory in the East and Huainan's strength has been greatly damaged. It may be difficult to stop Zhuge Ke's power to pour out the power of the country, so that the trend of Guanqiu Jian will also go away."

This is indeed the case in normal deduction, but who would have thought that Zhuge Ke's hundreds of thousands of troops in history would be tortured by a new city and lose his temper.

And Guan Qiujian is not an ordinary general, he is a famous general who has destroyed the country.

"If Zhuge Ke attacked Huainan in the north, wouldn't Jiang Wei also attack Yongliang in the north?" Yang Zheng said with a headache.

Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition last time was spoiled by a heavy rain, this time it must be even crazier.

Although they are potential allies, from Jiang Wei's standpoint, the best choice is to drag Xiping into the water.

The problem is that after the defeat of Dongxing, Sima Shi's prestige and strength reached the peak after some manipulations, just like Sima Yi after the Gaoping Mausoleum change, he drew his sword and looked around, looking at the world.

Yang Zheng didn't want to use Xiping to test whether Master Sima's sword was sharp.

Xiping's Qianlong potential has not yet formed, and Sima Shi has already controlled the dragon in the sky, and the gap in strength is too great.

"This is inevitable." Du Yu nodded.

"The trend of Xiping is still on the guard." Lu Zhi, who has never spoken, said succinctly.

There has been no war for two years, food income has increased, and the population is increasing. Xiping has made great progress. With its current strength, it will be difficult to sweep Yongliang, but swallowing Liangzhou in the north is not a big problem.

Wuwei has been caught in civil strife. When Wei Guan was there, he copied Xiping's various policies, suppressed the powerful, conquered the Qiang and Hu, took in slaves, and developed farming.

Wei Guan was gone, and although Hu Fen's spear was still straight, poking everywhere, it was treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

The chaos in Liangzhou cannot be solved by force alone.

Both Cao Cao and Cao Pi swept Liangzhou back then, but the rebellion remained.

But this is also the biggest problem in Liangzhou, chaos!

To win Liangzhou, it will take a certain amount of energy to integrate.

Will Deng Ai and Sima Fu give this opportunity?
As observers, Meng Guan and Pang Qing were copying and writing with small notebooks.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing.

It seems to be quite pessimistic about Xiping's future.

From any point of view, Xiping is a dead end.

Even if they win Liangzhou, they will face a crazy counterattack from Luoyang.

Only Yang Zheng is more and more optimistic about Xiping's future.

There is a saying, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.

Luo Gu was so miserable back then, did he get over it differently?

Now that there are soldiers and generals, and there are big men like Lu Zhidu Yuweiguan, the team is also expanding, what hurdles can't be overcome?
Master Sima was indeed formidable. Although his resourcefulness was not as good as Sima Yi's, he was even more cruel than him.

But the question is can Master Sima live forever?

This world is still surnamed Cao, and there is still a long way to go before being surnamed Sima.

Knowing the historical process is Yang Zheng's greatest advantage.

"Huainan is not that simple. Guanqiu Jian is a famous general in the world, and Wen Qin is there to support him. Huainan is not yet known. You can wait and see!" Yang Zheng smiled.

"Of course!" Lu Zhi laughed.

Du Yu's face also relaxed.

And Wei Guan was squinting, and a complicated ray of light flashed across.

Allowing him to enter this occasion is actually the greatest respect for him, and it also shows Yang Zheng's heart.

It's just that Wei Guan always kept a close and distant attitude, more like a bystander.

It is suggested that he also mention that if Xipingzheng is slightly inappropriate, he will also point it out, but always keep a certain distance.

Yang Zheng wasn't in a hurry either. Didn't Lu Zhi and Du Yu come here step by step in the same way?
As long as the hard work is deep and the iron rod is ground into a needle, the person who gets him will get his heart sooner or later.

"I'm getting old and my memory is failing, so I almost forgot to report that a large copper mine was discovered in Menyuan Valley recently!" Lu Zhi said an exciting news.

There are gold and iron mines in Jishi Mountain, but there are no copper mines.

Copper is of great significance in this era.

Dong Zhuo abolished five baht coins, minted small coins, exhausted his resources, and destroyed the financial system formed by five baht coins since the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Many things are built with great difficulty, but destroyed, it is a matter of changing hands.

Financial collapse is another major issue for the three countries.

Liu Bei made a hundred coins, and the government imposed a sentence that forced a low-quality copper coin to be worth a hundred five baht coins, which directly devalued the wealth of the Shu people by 90.00% five.

It is of the same nature as the "legal currency" of Duke Kaishen of the later generations.

The "Yizhou is exhausted" in the teacher's list is not false. Zhuge Wuhou took power, and gradually bound Zhibaiqian to Shu brocade, and the goods were circulated all over the world. Externally, Zhibaiqian flowed out, copper coins flowed in, and financial plundered Wei and Wu, and it was barely stable. The economy of the Shu Kingdom.

Sun Quan reacted, and also produced Daquan [-] and Daquan [-].

Let's plunder folk wealth together, drink poison to quench thirst.

On the contrary, Cao Wei withstood the pressure. Cao Cao spent a period of time with Dong Zhuo and witnessed the great harm of Dong Zhuo's small money, so after gaining power, he stopped using Dong Zhuo's small money and changed it back to five baht money.

In the second year of Cao Pi Huangchu, in view of the recovery of the north's vitality, the five baht money was not enough, and the five baht money was ordered to be discontinued, and grain and silk were used as currency. The weight of the water increased, the silk became thinner, and the wealth of the court and the people was lost together, which created inflation in a disguised form. Later, Cao Pi stopped the loss in time and ordered to resume casting five baht coins.

From beginning to end, Cao Wei did not mint new money and plunder folk wealth.

The Western Jin Dynasty inherited this policy and continued to use it until Tang Gaozu cast Kaiyuan Tongbao.

The five baht coin laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and Kaiyuan Tongbao laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Wei State is the most powerful. On the one hand, it has a vast territory. On the other hand, the financial system is not completely rotten, and the country's credit is still there.

Wu Shu's method was useful at the time, but it will cause endless troubles.

If the people are poor, they will be alienated from the country.

The collapse of the Shu Kingdom was the first, not unrelated to the first issue of Zhibaiqian.

The economy is the internal logic of the operation of a country.

If there is any problem, it must first be reflected in the economy.
