Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 481 Response
After fighting for a year and investing [-]% of his troops, Fu Jian finally captured the entire territory of Liangzhou.

Fu Ya was left to guard Guzang, while Fu Rong escorted the prisoners, money, grain, silk, etc. back to Chang'an one after another.

Fu Jian held a grand reception banquet for Zhang Xuanliang's family and treated all the Zhang family's children favorably. He was deeply saddened to hear that brothers Song Cheng and Song Hun were killed in battle.

After the annexation of Liangzhou, Di Qin gained more than [-] elite troops on foot and cavalry. Money and grain piled up like mountains. All the barbarians in Hexi joined him one after another, and Di Qin became more powerful.

Fu Jian promoted Confucianism, established education, and respected Buddhism, which immediately won the support of the Liangzhou gentry.

Initially possessing the national strength to compete with Liang and Jin.

The cold wind in Guanzhong was as cold as a knife, but Fu Jian still personally cares for the soldiers who returned home in triumph. The injured and meritorious ones were all rewarded with money and food, and he personally paid homage to the tombs of the fallen soldiers.

The military is very happy.

"The Guanzhong is open and the land is fertile. People from Liangzhou can migrate to the Guanzhong to enrich the Guanzhong. They can practice farming, farm and fight. After a few years, the treasury will be full and the soldiers will be strong. They can go east to fight for the world!" Quan Yi entered the Guanzhong! In two or three years, he has become a lot richer. He is dressed in silk and satin, and his wealth is impressive.

There is a ballad in Guanzhong: Rather than being rich and powerful, I would rather be poor than Fu Ya.

Fu Ya is charitable, honest and selfless.

In contrast, Quan Yi likes to amass wealth. He built a magnificent mansion in Chang'an and acquired a lot of fertile land outside the city...

However, Fu Jian has always been tolerant and generous. The more Quan Yi gets rich, the more relieved he becomes. "This policy can be implemented when the weather is warm next year. Yesterday, an envoy from Jiangdong arrived and invited me to send troops to Hedong. What do you think?"

"Why is Huan Wen so hasty? It has only been two years since the end of the war, and the Northern Expedition is about to begin. However, Liang Guo's troops are so sharp that they may not be able to match him!"

"Did Huan Wen do it for the Northern Expedition? He was just doing something arrogant in the name of the Northern Expedition. Everyone in the world calls Huan Wen a hero of the time. In my opinion, if the housekeeper dog had crossed the Ba River, he would have conquered Guanzhong, and half of the world would have been conquered. If you put it in his pocket, you will have today’s Liang Kingdom! This Northern Expedition will definitely be defeated!"

Although he secretly formed an alliance with Jiangdong, Fu Jian looked down on Huan Wen in his heart.

Before the rise of Liang and Qin, Huan Wen already had control over Jingxiang and Shuzhong, with [-] elite men under his command. At that time, the Central Plains was in chaos, and everyone was in the south. In such a good situation, Huan Wen was completely defeated, and the Central Plains returned to Liang...

Quan Yi laughed and said: "Jiangdong is like a rat. When the Jin Dynasty established the country, civil strife continued. How can Huan Wen'an stay out of it? His defeat can be foreseen. The king of heaven can take advantage of the great battle between Liang and Jin to send his army south and attack Hanzhong!"

Sima Xun was originally the adopted son of former Zhao general Linghu Ni, and he called himself the great-great-grandson of Sima Xun, Sima Yi's younger brother.

The Sima family did not learn the skills, but they learned the cruelty of the barbarians.

He acted rebelliously in Hanzhong, giving birth to the desire to separatism and self-reliance. He killed generals and powerful Hanzhong officials indiscriminately at the slightest disagreement, making people panic.

Fu Jian laughed, took out a few pieces of silk from his arms, and handed them to Quan Yi, "The generals, officials, soldiers and people of Hanzhong have their hearts set on our great Qin!"

When the Yong Dynasty was in chaos, the Qiang Di from Guanzhong went south with the Li Te brothers. Many people settled in Hanzhong and became powerful chiefs.

Fu Jian's reputation for being tolerant and benevolent spread far and wide throughout the world. When compared with Sima Xun, people naturally took refuge in him.

Quan Yi was overjoyed after reading the letter, "This way, Hanzhong can be settled!"

"I will gather all the elites in Guanzhong, take Hanzhong first, take advantage of Huan Wen's defeat, and then take Shuzhong!" Fu Jian raised his arms in the cold wind and shouted. The heroic spirit of a generation was displayed wantonly, dazzling the surrounding generals.

With Liangzhou's money and food, Hanzhong will definitely win.

Sima Xun has become a withered bone in the grave.Less than ten years after the fall of the Chenghan Dynasty, many of them were Di people who migrated down that year, and their identification with Di Qin was much greater than that of Jiangdong.

Moreover, after Huan Wen captured Shuzhong, he did not manage it carefully. He only had a veteran general, Zhou Fu, as the governor of Yizhou, but his troops were empty.

If Huan Wen's Northern Expedition failed and people in Shu were shaken, Zhou Fu would definitely not be able to defend Shu.

The destinies of all countries are intertwined...

The first year of Zhengxing passed by in a flash, and at the beginning of the new year, it snowed heavily in Yezhong.

Although it is freezing cold, news from all parties has never been cut off.

Huan Wen strengthened his troops in the south, stationed 15 troops in Liyang, which was known as [-], and finally completed [-] troops, which was known as [-]...

The whole Jiangdong revolves around the Northern Expedition. Over there, Wang Xunyin wants to avenge his humiliation, and here Huan Wen wants to conquer China.
Unlike when Yin Hao was jealous of talents, Huan Wen recruited many new generals, such as Shen Jin, Zhu Yao, Deng Xia, etc., and also motivated the three armies, showing that he was bound to win the Central Plains.

Before the troops were sent out, the atmosphere in Jiangdong was already heated.

Two messages have been circulated in the Central Plains, calling on the "Jin people" to rise up, resist Di Liang, and welcome Master Wang...

Although the Jin Dynasty was repeatedly defeated in battles, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse and its status was still high in people's hearts. South of the Huai River, there were rebellions in five places. They were all local powerful families who were won over by Jiangdong Xizuo. After being appointed officials and making wishes, Coerce the people to respond to Jiangdong.

"Someone's response can make Jiangdong misjudge the situation. Huan Wen is hiding in the south of the Yangtze River. I can't do anything about him. But raising troops to the north is another matter!" Seeing that there was no movement in the north of the Huaihe River, Li Yue didn't take it too seriously.

Huainan and Huaixi are close to the Jin Dynasty, so it is impossible not to be affected by them.

"Huan Wen alone has nothing to fear in the Northern Expedition, but if Murong Ke and Fu Jian both go out, I'm afraid the soldiers will be exhausted." Chang Wei stroked his long beard.

According to the news returned, Jiangdong has sent an envoy to Liaodong. During the autumn harvest last year, they crossed the sea and headed north, heading straight for Liaodong.

When Gongsun Yuan formed an alliance with Sun Quan, they also took the sea route.

"I have ordered Jia Jian to guard Jicheng and Lu Bo to guard Le'an early, which is enough to withstand Murong Ke's [-] elites. In the west, Qin Biao guards Hongnong, Mi Jin guards Hedong, and the party in Weishan Town. Murong Ke was defeated last year. , there is Mu Yugen rebellion in the country, and we are unable to send troops. Fu Jian has just captured Liangzhou and will not turn against Daliang at this time." Li Yue analyzed the situation for everyone.

Smart people sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and will not get involved prematurely before Liang and Jin decide the winner.

Li Yue never believed that Murong Ke and Fu Jian were determined to follow Huan Wen. There were no such selfless people in the world. The so-called alliance was just a matter of reluctantly getting together for each other's benefit.

"Anyone within the four seas who dares to send troops to attack Daliang will be attacked first!" Today's Liang Kingdom gave Li Yue the strength to speak such bold words.

Whoever moves first will be beaten!
Looking at the world, Liang Guo has burned incense without attacking them. With defensive counterattacks and internal operations, Liang Guo can fully sustain a two-front war.

"Haha, that's the truth! When Murong Ke comes out, he will attack the Yan people first. When Fu Jian comes out, he will attack the Qin people. They will die on their own, so why be afraid!" Wang Meng laughed.

"Last year's flat harvest can support an army of 15 for three months." Chang Wei only said half of what he said.

After three months, food and grass were running out.

People don’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Last year we had a war, and this year we will have another war. Even with the most fertile land in the world, it is still too much to bear.
