Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 414
As the saying goes, if there is demand, there will be business. If the profit is large enough, smuggling will emerge.

In fact, Zhang He felt that if Liu Bei could provide enough 'benefits', then the world could even be settled without a fight.

Just like Emperor Guangwu, the 28 generals of Yuntai were not only good but bad in order to make up the numbers, otherwise there would definitely be many generals among them who came from wealthy families.

Since the 28th general of Yuntai, there has been a feeling in the Eastern Han Dynasty that the emperor and the aristocratic families share the world.

After all, the 28 core generals represent 28 generals, not to mention civilian officials.

The advantage is that Liu Xiu quickly unified the world after breaking away from Emperor Gengshi, but the disadvantage is that it laid hidden dangers for the Eastern Han Dynasty for 200 years.

Liu Bei is not stupid, so he will not make the same mistake.

Liu Xiuna couldn't help himself. At his level, he was already surrounded by civil and military officials from wealthy families.

Liu Bei is different. He really started from scratch and supported four core generals, all of whom were his sworn brothers.

Back to the topic, if smuggling is profitable, then smuggling channels will gradually be improved.

Excluding the smuggling network eventually formed by bribing local officials, some remote and hidden roads will also become mature routes during smuggling.

Behind this is probably the dedication of several families for more than ten to 20 years, or even hundreds of years.

Now on this road, Zhang He walked in openly.

Ye Bushou checked in front to make sure there was no ambush. The infantry were in front, the baggage was in the middle, and the cavalry was behind.

The mountain road is indeed rugged and difficult, but it is better than the cliff.

It's a coincidence that this road is the Jiuzhaigou area in later generations, from here to the south through Songpan County in later generations.

"Are you tired?" It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and I had been walking for several hours since I entered the mountain at eight o'clock.

There was no place to rest at noon, so I could only rest where I was, eat some solid food, drink some water and so on.

"Not tired!" everyone shouted.

Zhang He started gamifying the march. This journey did not consume much physical energy, but there would be some emergencies from time to time.

Either there was a small-scale landslide, or some wild animal suddenly appeared, or even a bandit.

It's not right to call them bandits. These are the outposts of smugglers. They work part-time to make some extra money. The main purpose is to scare away outsiders who accidentally enter here.

Traders in Shenlangqiang usually send their goods here to trade with the other party.

In fact, the route they provided only goes here. If you want to continue southward, you have to get new information from the mouths of these smugglers' outposts.

In the end, there was no need for Zhang He to come forward. Ye Busuo had already captured these hundreds of thieves.

This large army temporarily moved to their camp to rest and recuperate for a while.

There are a lot of supplies they have prepared here. According to the agreement, transactions are usually conducted once every three months, and there are still three days until the next transaction.

The materials were transported in advance to facilitate transactions, but who knew they were intercepted by Zhang He.

There is a lot of salt and silk here, especially the famous Shu Brocade.Others are military supplies, such as iron tools and weapons.

Shenlangqiang was originally a Qianghu in the past and did not need so many luxuries. Salt and ironware were what they valued.

The other things you need to buy are wound medicine and rhubarb.

The Shenlang Qiang are very cunning. They will sell luxury goods and rhubarb to tribes further west in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses.

Then they traded through smuggling channels in Bashu.

By earning money from both ends, you can accumulate a lot of wealth.

This is also the reason why they surrender so easily. Long-term trade has made them more sinicized than the average Qiang people.

Not to mention that they had surrendered to the Han for many years since Fubo General Ma Yuan's crusade.

Now it is just further Chineseization, and they have no reason not to accept the treatment provided by the court.

"Give the weapons and armor to the civilians to wear and upgrade them." Zhang He ordered.

There are so many armors and weapons, and they can't all be piled here.

You don’t have to need salt, after all, there are a lot of well salts and mineral salts in Bashu.

If the Qinghai Salt Lake is destroyed in the future, there will be no shortage of salt in the northwest.

In terms of value, just keep the necessary part of the salt, and the rest is already a burden.The medicinal materials and Sichuan brocade were kept as the seizure, and then sold through channels, and the money earned was distributed as bonuses.

"Yang Lang, have you found out the route?" Zhang He asked.

It doesn't matter if you can't actually ask. After marching is gamified, the route between the two points has been clearly demarcated.

In other words, as long as you follow this route, it may be difficult, but you can go!

Zhang He was just curious if there was any other, safer and faster way.

"Asked, the road map has been drawn." Yang Lang took out a piece of cloth.

Yizhou has been in seclusion for too long, and paper craftsmanship has been improved for so long, but it has not been popularized.

Since the leak of the process, Zou Yu has indeed strengthened preventive measures.

But the technology that has been leaked has been leaked after all.

Cao Cao's side began to popularize it, but the prevention there was even worse, so Liu Biao and Sun Ce also got the technology.

Liu Zhang obviously did not, otherwise it would be impossible to use cloth or bamboo slips, or even leather as a writing carrier.

"Uh..." Zhang He looked at the road map, and finally compared it with the gamification road map and found that the two completely overlapped.

Forget it, there is no need to worry so much, at least it proves that the roadmap given after gamification is indeed the best.

Think about it, how could you ignore the mature path formed by long-term smuggling and just mark a route randomly.

Just don't mark the route, just use a two-point straight line as the shortest route.

If that is the case, then the construction of mountains and roads will become the biggest emergency...

After resting, the army continued to move forward and arrived in the Wenchuan area in about three days.

Along the way south, Canling County and Guangrou County were broken through. Counties like this in the mountains were easily broken through before they could react.

This is also thanks to the captured smugglers. Their smuggling channel itself was achieved by corrupting the officials of these two counties.

During the smuggling process, the two counties took a lot of commissions, and of course they also came forward to cover for them.

Now that they came back, they easily opened the gate, and then the army rushed in, easily conquering these two counties.

Subsequently, we followed the Minjiang River all the way south, taking the Duwen Expressway of later generations. From entering the mountain to leaving the mountain, the journey was more than 600 miles. Taking into account the time spent on rest and siege, it took a full six days.

There are so many twists and turns, and being able to come here at this time really fulfills the four words "the military is valuable and the speed is great".

Well, Zhang He cheated directly, which is a situation that cannot be imitated.

In this way, the army walked out of the mountains and came to Dujiangyan City in later generations. The first place to bear the brunt was naturally Pidu County.

In later generations, this was Pidu District, Dujiangyan City.

It was not until this time that Liu Zhang received news that an army had entered Shu and was attacking Pidu County at the same time.

When he mobilized heavy troops to defend the Hanzhong army, he never expected that an army suddenly attacked Yizhou from the rear.

"Why is this happening?" Liu Zhang looked at the ministers, "We are facing a powerful enemy. Why didn't anyone from Canling County and Guangrou County come to report?!"

Why not?

The officials probably thought that the smuggling route must have been discovered by Liu Bei, and then they used this road to launch a surprise attack.

The big guys here seem to know about such a smuggling channel, but no one seems to care about it.

Some of them serve as a protective umbrella for smuggling families, and they take a large share of the trade on this road.

Some people don't get any benefits, and they feel unhappy when they see so many people getting benefits, so they simply don't remind them.

Just waiting for Liu Bei to come, they surrendered on their own initiative.

When the old wealthy families are shuffled, they will naturally be able to take over and share the benefits.

In the final analysis, no one in Shu Han's power was really on Liu Zhang's side from top to bottom.

After all, Liu Zhang is their puppet!
