Shuhan

Cao really wanted to do something to change the current difficult situation.

But no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't come up with any foolproof plan.

Marriage?

This is no use at all.

Those aristocratic families will not really surrender just because they marry a daughter to you.

If things were so easy, why would he need to scratch his head here?
Let a wealthy family send a proton?
That's also of little use.

When Cao Cao went west to Guanzhong, the powerful people in Guanzhong didn't send their children to Luoyang as hostages. What was the result?

When it's time to fuck you, I won't be soft at all.

If the son is gone, he can be reborn, but if I am gone, what will happen?
Ma Chao knew clearly that his father and brothers were held hostage in Xudu, but he was still rebellious and had no fear at all.

Apart from these two moves, Cao Zhenzhen didn't know what moves to use.

Even Liu Chan, a time traveler who knows the five thousand years of Chinese history, would be powerless if he were in Cao Zhen's situation.

Historically, the only people who were cut off from the Central Plains Dynasty but could still defend it for a long time were the Guiyi Army of the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, Cao Zhen's current geographical location is really the same as that of Guiyi Army.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself and really had no energy to support the Guiyi Army. If the current Wei State does not consider the losses, it can still reinforce Cao Zhen from the grassland, but in general, it is more difficult.

However, the situation of Cao Zhen's troops was better than that of the Guiyi Army in terms of support from the Central Plains Dynasty, but in other aspects, it was much worse.

Why does the Guiyi Army exist?

There's a reason for that.

In 755 AD, during the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang court had to mobilize the Hexi Army to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. The Anshi Rebellion and the subsequent separatist rule of vassal towns lasted for a long time. There was a huge power vacuum in the Hexi Corridor, and the powerful Tubo took advantage of it.

From 755 to 781, they gradually encroached on Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Shazhou, taking over all the land in Hexi and Longyou, and launched a brutal rule here, turning the Han people into slaves.

In 848 AD, Zhang Yichao of Shazhou led his troops to revolt, which was the beginning of the Guiyi Army.

Although Tubo obtained the land in Longxi, the people in Longxi still yearned for the Tang Dynasty.

When the envoys of the Tang Dynasty came here, the people rushed to pay homage and weep: "Ask the emperor if he is okay... The descendants can't bear to forget the Tang Dynasty clothes, but the court still misses it? When will the soldiers come?"

The Tang Dynasty had such a popular foundation, so one can imagine how weak Tubo's ruling power in Longxi was.

After the Tubo civil strife, Zhang Yichao took the opportunity to win over the Han people. After a bloody battle, he drove away the Tubo guards, "photographed the state affairs" and recovered Shazhou.

After that, Zhang Yichao took Shazhou as his base, "repaired his armor, plowed the fields and fought", and took over the land west of Hexi.

After regaining Shazhou, Zhang Yichao immediately sent people to notify the Tang court and established the forces of the rebel army.

Since then, Zhang Yichao has launched a struggle with all forces, "making horses and horses every day, training troops every day... never having a moment of leisure", trying to survive in the cracks.

It was thanks to Zhang Yichao's efforts that the Guiyi Army had Yiwu in the west and Lingwu in the east. They "gained more than 4,000 miles of land and a household with a household registration of one million" and achieved great results.

The Guiyi Army was able to "acquire more than 4,000 miles of land and a household with a household registration of one million", relying on the remaining power of the Tang Dynasty and relying on the people's hearts.

But now, do the hearts of people in Longxi and Liangzhou really belong to Wei?

For the Han people in Longxi and Liangzhou, is Wei more attractive than Han?
Not at all.

On the contrary, Han's claim to be orthodox was more able to win over the Han people in Longxi and Liangzhou.

Even those Hanized Qiang and Di had never heard of the name Wei, but the name of the Han Dynasty was like thunder to their ears.

In other words, Cao Zhen's current situation is almost desperate!
"If Guanzhong is no longer restored, how can we defend Longxi and Liangzhou?"

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Cao Zhen had a firm idea in his heart.

Delaying time will only make his situation more and more difficult.

The plan for now is to make a last ditch effort!
It has not been long since the Han Kingdom conquered Guanzhong, and the Wei Kingdom still has influence in Longxi and Liangzhou. While this influence is still there, attack Guanzhong!

In order to truly win Guanzhong, Luoyang must cooperate.

"Take my handwritten letter with the courier and take a detour to the north to Luoyang. From now on, all ministries will be training soldiers. In a few months at most, we will send troops to Guanzhong!"

These people have to find hope, and the people under him have to find something to do.

Once people are free, they will think about messy things. Thinking about messy things at this time may lead to some messy things.

Once people's hearts are scattered, it is difficult to gather them back together.

It will be difficult to lead the team.

Cao Zhen looked around the people in the hall and said: "This city is in danger of survival! We will fight hard for the last time. If we succeed, we will be able to make great achievements, and your future will be bright. If we fail, , It’s just a short-term pain. If we abandon Longxi and Liangzhou, we will flee to Luoyang, so we will not be guilty of losing our land. "

Everyone is not running away now because if they run away without fighting, they will definitely be held accountable.

If you can't escape today, why not give it a try?

Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

It can even get them out of the mess in Longxi Liangzhou.

When everyone heard what Cao Zhen said, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"What the general said is absolutely true!"

"We are determined to be the general's leader."

"Fight hard, win Guanzhong, and achieve unparalleled achievements!"

Seeing the generals express their stance, Cao Zhen slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At the very least, within a few months, he gave these people hope and gave these people things to do. They should not have nothing to do with bringing soldiers to take his head to make a surrender certificate and defect to the Han Dynasty.

What he wants to deal with now is the powerful families in Longxi!

War requires money and food, so he has to find a way to squeeze food, grass and supplies from the powerful Longxi family!

Liu Chan didn't know what Cao Zhen was thinking.

Liu Chan only knew that after taking Guanzhong, Longxi and Liangzhou were already meat on his chopping block.

The reason why he didn't eat the piece of meat now was because the water in the pot hadn't boiled yet and the kitchen knife in his hand hadn't been sharpened enough.

When the water boils and the kitchen knife in your hand is sharpened, it's time to attack them.

As for Cao Zhen's counterattack.
Liu Chan had already thought of this and had already asked Ma Dai and Wang Ping to stay on the front line of Yumi, and asked Liu Feng to take charge of Yong County to be responsible for the defense of the western side of Guanzhong. In the Xuanshi Palace.

Liu Chan sat on the dragon chair, with a large desk covered with memorials.

These memorials were not brought by people, but by baskets and baskets.

This is really no joke.

Due to the war and some reward issues, the memorials that had been accumulated before began to come into force.

Liu Chan now has to handle two hundred kilograms of memorials every day.

At this time, memorials can no longer be calculated by the book, but by the pound.

If Hua Tuo hadn't been there to nurse Liu Chan back to health, and if Liu Chan hadn't been exercising every day and had been very restrained in sexual intercourse these days, he might not have been able to hold on anymore.

"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. I sit down at my desk and write fast for several hours every day. Even my body is so strong that I can't bear it. I should let the Prime Minister's Office and the Chancellor's Office review and approve the important memorials and send them to Your Majesty. That’s it, send all the memorials directly to His Majesty without any screening. How can His Majesty handle so many memorials by himself?”

Huang Mencheng Huang Hao looked at Liu Chan with some distress.

"The hard work is a bit harder."

Liu Chan stretched, and although he looked a little tired, he still had a smile on his face.

"But only by reviewing these memorials can we understand the affairs of the world. Otherwise, if we become deaf and blind in the deep palace, wouldn't we be unable to see anything?"

In fact, he did not review these memorials alone.

The people from the former Prince's Palace, the officials who were now entering and leaving the palace, were able to share Liu Chan's worries in advance.

Before being sent to Liu Chan, these memorials had actually been selected once.

"Don't your Majesty have a military department? Isn't it easy to understand the affairs of the world?"

Jian Junsi was comparable to the Jin Yiwei of later generations, and even more frightened than Yushitai.

Through the Military Division, you can indeed get a lot of news.

"What if I have been relying on Military Administrator Jian and the news from Military Administrator Jian becomes inaccurate one day?"

It's a pity that he is now a noble person.

His status is noble and his life is entrusted with too much.

Otherwise, he would definitely have to go out of the palace and see the situation outside in person, instead of getting the news from the outside through memorials, through the intelligence of the Military Division, and through his eyes and ears.

"Then how will your Majesty's body be able to bear it if this continues?"

Liu Chan laughed and said: "I have just experienced the difficulties of the Prime Minister and the Minister's Order these days. Today I will send these memorials to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Minister's Desk. It is not a confidential matter and there is no need to send it to the palace. ”

It had been like this for the past few days, reviewing two hundred kilograms of memorials every day. Liu Chan doubted that he would survive more than five years.

Zhu Yuanzhang's physical strength is not something ordinary people can have.

What's more, there are so many beauties in Liu Chan's harem who need his essence to feed them.

"Gather the court officials here, I want to ask them for advice!"

The so-called courtiers in the inner dynasty are the team that originally served in the palace of Prince Liu Chan.

of course
Several children of the Guanzhong gentry were also added to stabilize the hearts of the Guanzhong gentry.

"promise!"

Half an hour later.

In the Xuanshi Hall, all the virtuous people have arrived.

Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Huo Yi, Ma Su, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc. are all among them.

Liu Chan has held this small internal court meeting many times, so his sitting posture is relatively casual.

"Today, I, the Han Dynasty, have regained Guanzhong and restored the old capital of Chang'an. The world is in shock. In the past few months, reactions from various aspects have also come in. Let's take a look. How should I, the Han Dynasty, formulate the national policy for the future? Will it change or remain unchanged?"

Since everyone in the inner dynasty was on his own, Liu Chan didn't have to hide anything and just asked the questions he wanted to ask.

These people who can enter the inner court are Liu Chan's key training targets.

Asking for advice also exercises their abilities.

Dong Yun, the young master, slowly stepped forward and said: "As for the puppet Wei, Cao Pi was defeated by your majesty in the first battle at Tongguan and retreated to Hongnong. Due to the rebellion in Wei County, food and grass were not available, so he withdrew his army to Luoyang. Now the rebellion in Wei County has ended. After pacification, there is news from the Ministry of Military Affairs that the Wei State will recruit grain and grass again, and the possibility of further attack cannot be ruled out. "

After taking a breath, Dong Yun continued: "From the side of the State of Wu, Sun Quan, King of Wu, sent a congratulatory form to my great Han. His words were humble and respectful, as if the State of Wu was really a vassal state of my great Han. In addition to sending a congratulatory form, the State of Wu also sent a congratulatory form to me. I am a big man asking for food, but the country of Wu is in urgent need of food and grass. In the past few months, Jiangxia County has gathered 7,800 Wu people.

Of course, although the State of Wu is respectful to me, the Han Dynasty, it is also extremely respectful to the State of Wei. The eldest daughter of the King of Wu has married Cao Rui, the pseudo-Wei prince, and Wu and Wei have become a marriage country.

There are also some more important news. First, Shi Xie of Jiaozhou submitted the household register of Jiaozhou and asked for surrender; second, Wei State mobilized Wuhuan and Xianbei, seeming to attack our Han Dynasty with soldiers from the grassland. "

After telling this news, Young Master Dong Yun also slowly retreated.

Liu Chan looked around at the ministers and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"

Fei Yi stood up and said immediately: "Now, we should focus on maintaining stability. Just hold the front line of Tongguan. As for the Wei State, as long as it doesn't send troops, don't worry about it. As for the Wu State, your Majesty has issued an edict. To appease him, as for food and grass, it is impossible to give him. If Jiaozhou Shixie submits his household registration, your majesty will naturally reward him. "

Zhang Baojin said: "Your Majesty, the State of Wu's request for food is actually a sign of weakness. However, although it appears to be submissive on the outside, it is cunning on the inside, so we must be on guard against it. The request from Xie, a scholar from Jiaozhou, is within the reach of the majesty of the Han Dynasty. This is a sincere and gratifying thing, and it is appropriate to do so." Send envoys quickly to pacify them and reassure their people. As for the Wei State's deployment of troops, although the Wuhuan and Xianbei people are brave and good at fighting, they can't sustain food and supplies for a long distance. How can it be easy for our big Han to attack because of the dangers of mountains and rivers? Strengthen border defense and wait for work."

Huo Yi also said: "What General Zhang said is true. Although the state of Wu is married to Wei, its hearts are not necessarily the same. Now its territory is in short supply of food and grass. If I, a big man, can help generously, I may be able to make them grateful and closer to each other." We will unite. However, we need to be prepared for backlash, so the amount of assistance should be moderate. As for Wei's movements, although Wuhuan and Xianbei are brave, they may not be able to compete with the elites of our Han Dynasty. We should focus on waiting for opportunities. And move.”

Ma Di calmly said: "Your Majesty, I look at the general situation of the world. Wu and Wei are not people who have been under the rule of others for a long time. Wu's request for food may be a way to slow down the army, so our government should deal with it carefully. It is gratifying that Jiaozhou surrenders, but it also needs to stabilize its heart to avoid He will change. The purpose of the Wei State's deployment of troops is to test the reality of our government. Our government should use strong troops to make them retreat when they see difficulties. At the same time, we also need to strengthen our internal affairs and replenish our treasury to prepare for emergencies."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "What you all said is all about seeking the country. I am very relieved."

Those who can name these countermeasures can also be called capable.

It seems that in the future, even after Zhuge Liang and Fazheng pass away, the talents of the Han Dynasty will not be cut off.

"For Wei and Wu, the main focus is on defense. Now the focus of our emperor and Han Dynasty is on Longxi. According to the news from the Military Department, the reason why Wei mobilized Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu is to support Longxi by merging states. , It’s not that we don’t want to recuperate, but the enemy is already coming towards us!”

Liu Chan's eyes flickered and he said: "Everyone, please think about what you should do when the war begins. Without meritorious service, no matter how much I value you, I will not be able to promote you."

His hints were already very obvious.

Liu Chan is about to start arranging his own forces in the court, and this opportunity is military exploits!

Zhang Bao and Guan Xing looked at each other, fighting spirit boiling in their eyes.

at last
Can you show off your talents again? (End of chapter)
