Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 399
The war between Liang and Yan had just subsided, and another war broke out in Hedong.

Yao Xiang dared to take action at this time and was confident. In addition to the support of Bingzhou Sanxue, he also ordered his brother Yao Wu General Yao Yisheng and Left General Wang Qinlu to recruit Hu Han from the north.

Although Yao Xiang has suffered repeated defeats, he is very good at soothing and winning over people's hearts, and his reputation and reputation are getting louder and louder.

Various tribes from the east and west of Dahe came to join, with more than [-] households.

Yao Xiang selected elites and expanded his troops. He had [-] soldiers and was known as an army of [-].

It happened that after the autumn harvest, there was enough food and grass, so they marched to Puban. Fu Sheng sent Fu Fei with [-] cavalry to help Puban.

The northern kingdom was shaken for a while.

At this time, Li Yue had just led his army back to Yecheng, and he called everyone to discuss the matter without stopping.

"Fu Sheng is angry and resentful, and people are angry inside and outside Guanzhong. Yao and Xiang are united in their will. They should be able to attack Guanzhong, and our army should follow closely behind!" Dong Run said with cupped hands.

After the deaths of Liu Qun and Shen Zhong, Dong Run's status increased.

People like Jiang Gan, Miao Song, and Liu Yi also moved closer to him intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Dong Run was removed from the position of general, he still had many subordinates. Coupled with his reputation among the beggar army, he was considered one of the most powerful figures in the Liang Kingdom.

Chang Wei said: "Yao Xiang is just a strong man on the outside. Although the Qin Dynasty is in chaos, his fighting power still exists. In my opinion, Yao Xiang will undoubtedly be defeated. If Yao Xiang is defeated, the Murong family will go to Hedong. Your Highness should make arrangements early."

Yao Xiang has never defeated Fu Shi in his life.

Now it seems that there is a lot of noise, and they claim to have an army of [-], but it is useless if they cannot capture Puban.

The people guarding Puban were Deng Qiang and Fu Jian.

One of Di Qin's three thousand enemies was Deng Qiang, whose ancestral home was Nan'an. He had the same clan as Deng Ai, a famous general in the late Cao Wei Dynasty. They were both descendants of Deng Yu, the leader of Yuntai's 28 generals.

His family followed Deng Ai from Xinye to Nan'an and became a powerful figure in Guanyou.

"Gu has ordered Gao Yun to take more precautions. Xu Cheng led [-] troops to station in Zhi County. The Yan army went south, and our army immediately went north." Li Yue basically agreed with Chang Wei's judgment.

Fu Sheng had only been in office for about a year, and most of those who died at his hands were Guanzhong's powerful chiefs, Xun Jiu, and the palace people around him.

Everything has two sides. If more powerful chiefs die, it will be conducive to the growth of Di Qin.

However, it depends on how well Yao Xiang plays. As long as he breaks Puban and enters Guanzhong, Yao Xiang will be like a fish in water.

"Your Highness has defeated Murong Ke and Murong Chui, and his power has spread throughout the world. Daliang considers him the overlord of the world. I sincerely ask His Highness to take over the throne and obey the destiny of heaven and the people of the world!" Jiang Gan actually took the lead in persuading him to join.

"I sincerely request Your Highness to ascend the throne and take the honorary title!" Miao Song and Liu Yi also followed suit.

Someone starts it, and it gets out of hand.

Almost everyone is admonishing.

But some people are sincere and some are just following the crowd.

Li Yue glanced at everyone. It was definitely impossible to say that he did not want to ascend the throne as emperor.

In this battle, the Murong clan was rejected in the north and the Jiangdong noble clan was defeated in the south. Their prestige was definitely sufficient.

However, whether you ascend to the throne or not, in addition to these, also depends on the national strength.

The Liang State's national power has not yet reached its peak, and it still needs to be contented. The people of the Central Plains may not truly surrender.

During the Northern Expedition of Xun Xian and Yuan Zhen, the gate of Shouchun City was almost opened by the Zhenjun, indicating that Jiangdong's influence still existed.

Historically, after Murong Jun became emperor, he quickly declined. Fu Jian occupied the entire Northern Kingdom and was only called the King of Heaven...

"I already know everyone's thoughts, but if the Yan Kingdom is not destroyed, how can I have the face to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor?" In Li Yue's view, at least one of the Yan Kingdom and the Jin Dynasty must be destroyed to be qualified to claim the throne!
But it seemed that they were just giving advice, not too intense.Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, we have always paid attention to three words and nine concessions.

This is just the second word.

After a while of singing praises, everyone retreated.

Before Li Yue could take a breath, Wang Meng's memorial arrived.

After spreading it out, it was densely packed and almost a foot long.

The results of the reform in the past two years were reported in detail. Yanzhou's grain output doubled compared with last year, the population increased by [-]%, the treasury was abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Details including the number of households, officials, acres of land, etc. in each county of Yanzhou are all supported by real data.

When Yanzhou was under great rule, the local officials were honest and upright, and powerful people did not move away, even if they were uprooted by them.

The results of the innovation are obvious. Not only Yanzhou, but also all states in the Central Plains have made rapid progress.

Although it has not reached the point of not closing the door at night and not picking up food on the street, every household can have food, and the tragedy of starving people everywhere is gone forever.

In addition to these achievements, he also recommended a large number of talents, saying that Fang Mo, Hao Lue, and Tian Xie were comparable to Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi of the Shu Han Dynasty. The enrichment of the national treasury is all his fault.

If Fang Mo, Hao Lue, and Tian Xie were compared to Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, and Fei Yi, then Wang Meng, who recommended the three of them, would naturally be as capable as Zhuge Wuhou.

Li Yue heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. Wang Meng was asking the tune center, "Promote Wang Meng to the rank of Sili Xiaowei and Sanqi Changshi!"

However, Zhou Qian had to work hard for another two years to completely transform Huainan and Huaibei into the granary of Liang State.

Cui Hong's eyes moved, "I... there is no Secretary in Daliang..."

Li Yue laughed and said, "Then the three states of Wei, Zhao, and Ding plus Hanoi, Shangdang, and Luoyang will be designated as Sili!"

In this way, it is equivalent to classifying all the important areas in Liang's capital as Sili.

In the Han Dynasty, the Sili Xiaowei was extremely powerful. He was responsible for "supervising Sanfu, Sanhe, and Hongnong." He was ranked below Jiuqing, but his power was above him. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Sili Xiaowei, Shangshu Ling, and Sili Xiaowei were the most powerful. The censor Zhongcheng called him San Du Si.

Jiu Qing has now been reduced to a useless position, and his power is even worse.

After the establishment of Cao Wei, the power of Sili Xiaowei further expanded. During the court meeting, the ministers sat outside the south gate of the palace, and Sili Xiaowei sat at the head of the various ministers. He sat alone, which was better than the "Three Du" in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Sitting" has been improved a lot and is more prominent.

He has more than a hundred people under his command, including officers and assistants, and he alone leads a thousand guards.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both served as Sili captains.

Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang of Shu Han Dynasty, Xuxuan, Du Ji and Zhong Hui of Cao Wei Dynasty all served as Sili Xiaowei.

Fu Xian of the Western Jin Dynasty said: Sili Xiaowei, formerly known as "Crouching Tiger", sincerely leads the way and makes everything clear, and leads the people to obey.

This shows the importance of this position.

It was impossible for Cui Hong not to know that this position was also paving the way for Shangshu Ling. A strange look flashed in his eyes, "Your Highness employs people in an eclectic way!"

Li Yue said meaningfully: "Wang Meng's [-] troops resisted Murong Chui's more than [-] troops, laying the foundation for the victory of Shuzhou. Without him, we would have been driven out to the north of the Yellow River. How would we be today? This innovation does not count individuals. Safety and danger, the country is the most important thing, Ye Zhong is civil and military, how many people can be like him?"

Those who have always promoted reforms have always bet all their wealth and narrowly escaped death. Wang Meng was closely involved in the success or failure of reforms. Li Yue could not reuse him too much.

And these words also hit Cui Hong.

Cui Hong is not weak in ability, but he has too many thoughts and values ​​Cui more.

"Your Highness is wise." Cui Hong was a smart man and could undoubtedly understand what Li Yue meant and lowered his head.
