Chapter 409 Chapter . Xiang Jian’s surrender

"After the battle, we are finished, so the purpose of this battle is not how many times we have won, but only one point, whether we killed or captured Xiang Jian and Yuan Shao before they woke up.

It can be said that the previous battle. Even if Fan Zeng, Sima Yi and Yan Liangwen were so ugly that they all died in battle. As long as Xiang Jian or Yuan Shao goes back, our victory will be essentially meaningless! "Guo Jia replied casually.

"That's it." Liu Hua spread his hands and said helplessly, "The most important point of this battle is to kill or capture Yuan Shao and Xiang Jian. As long as these two princes are alive or run away, our subsequent war will be fought in three battles. Years to five years.”

Liu Hua was not joking about this at all. The most important thing in this battle was to kill Yuan Shao's captive Xiang Jian. If Yuan Shao had not been killed, the disastrous defeat in this battle would only make Yuan Shao wake up more thoroughly. In this way, even if he could not defeat Liu Hua. It was enough to make Liu Hua feel nauseous.

And Xiang Jian cannot be killed, otherwise Xiang Ceyu will lose the bond, but he will definitely be a peerless enemy. Fortunately, if Xiang Jian is captured, there will be a way to subdue Xiang Ceyu.

More importantly, what Liu Hua needs in his heart is a strong man, not a Central Plains with ten houses and nine empty houses. He has the name of a strong man, but does not have the strength to conquer all parties, so he must maintain the vitality of the Central Plains.

The people at the bottom should not be hurt the most by the unification of the world, but the people at the bottom are the ones who are hurt the most. This is what makes Liu Hua most helpless. Therefore, if he wants to build an epic-level project before the unification of the world, then the population will become Liu Hua needs assurance most.

The construction speed in the war years is always much faster than the construction speed in the peace stage after the unification of the world. People who are precarious will not think about too many things, but when they have leisure and money, they will think about things that are of little practical significance. things, resulting in too many troubles.

After unifying the north, even if there is a little indigestion, the population has steadily exceeded 25 million. At this time, dredging water conservancy and connecting canals is actually not very difficult. Liu Hua's subordinates Xun Xi, Xun Yu, Xiao He and others , although he is not very reliable in war, he is still very capable in construction.

After all, even if they go to the Grand Canal, they have never said that they really want to connect with Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng, Guantao, Zhuojun, Linzi, Jianye and other places. Most of these places are not yet in Liu Hua's hands!

In other words, although there are many places to be built now, the most difficult sections are the Guangtong Canal, which connects Chang'an to the Yellow River, and the Tongji Canal, which connects Luoyang to the Yellow River and Huai River, and the East Zhejiang Grand Canal. These three sections are the most difficult. , the part that is long enough is not in Liu Hua’s territory...

The Grand Canal that will be built by then will probably be ridiculed by those who have seen the original version. It is just a big bare pole without a single branch.

All in all, for the current Liu Hua, after Xiang Jian was captured and Yuan Shao fell, it became much easier to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains. All that was left was to go down step by step, digesting Yanzhou and the upcoming Qingzhou first!

Liu Hua really wanted to tell these guys, who were looking serious because of the war, that he had a lot on his hands. He used to play ordinary level stuff, but soon they were going to play big guys and all kinds of epics. The project is going online!

It is enough to conquer this group of people in the world, but compared to conquering the world, ruling the world is more difficult and requires more energy. To surpass the ancestors, it is not just a matter of thinking about it. The things involved are simply a headache. big!

However, it is not a good thing to pour cold water on him now. Liu Hua could only silently express in his heart that he would have to be far-sighted again if he had the opportunity in the future.

The next step was to solve Xiang Ceyu's problem, so Liu Hua went to find Xiang Jian and Fan Zeng, who were already imprisoned. The two were neighbors and lived in a sunny prison and lived very cleanly.

At this time, Liu Hua wanted to stabilize Xiang Ceyu and prevent Xiang Ceyu from continuing to go to Europe to resist, so he needed to get a letter from Xiang Jian to persuade Xiang Ceyu to surrender.

"What do you want to do!" Xiang Jian instinctively became vigilant when he heard Liu Hua's words.

After all, Liu Hua was suddenly so kind to him. If Xiang Jian was not muttering in his heart, no one would believe it.

"You were defeated by me, and Yuan Shao died in battle. It is only a matter of time before I unify the world. Only Xiang Ceyu of the Xiang family is worthy of my attention. I plan to carry out the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty!" Liu Tai took out the world map. He handed it to Xiang Jian and said calmly, "The world is so big that it can naturally accommodate you and me. When Xiang Ceyu establishes a fiefdom overseas in the future, I will naturally let you go." Taken the world map, Xiang Jian Fan Zeng saw the map , naturally understood what Liu Hua meant, he planned to follow the example of the Zhou Dynasty in enfeoffing.

"If you want to imitate the king of Zhou in enfeoffing, aren't you afraid that one day, Qin will destroy the world again?" Fan Zeng said.

"Jiang Ziya divided the world and had at least eight hundred years of national destiny. However, the Qin Dynasty ruled the world with prefectures and counties, and the country was destroyed in only fifteen years!" Liu Hua said calmly, "If you don't plan for the future unification of the world, I'm afraid I won't be able to unify the world. It will definitely fall back into division!”

"Your Majesty, just do as the King of Han said. We will still have a chance in the future." Fan Zeng said to Xiang Jian.

Xiang Jian also understood that with his defeat this time, Chu State was basically finished. It was only a matter of time before Liu Hua unified the world. He might as well go overseas and try his best. Liu Hua had already won in the Central Plains.

Xiang Jian couldn't help but hesitate when he heard Liu Hua's words. Xiang believed most of this world map and Liu Hua's words. He was certain that Liu Hua wanted to conquer Xiang Ceyu at least now.

But in the end, looking at Liu Hua just putting the pen and paper in front of him, he thought in his heart that he would not say anything nice to Liu Hua, but with this letter, at least the fire of the Xiang family would continue to be passed on. I gritted my teeth and went to write this letter.

Xiang Jian took a deep breath and wrote, "I know it will be difficult for you to do the next thing, but please remember it carefully. This time the princes of the world failed to join forces to attack Liu Hua, and were strangled instead. Liu Hua's strength will inevitably further expansion.

In this world, except for me, the Xiang family, no one can continue to contain Liu Hua's strength. As long as I, the Xiang family, bow my head, the princes in the world are just mediocre people. How can I stop Liu Hua from unifying the world like an ancestral dragon?

And Liu Hua has always been optimistic about you. As long as you give in to him, admit your mistake, and surrender, Liu Hua will definitely use him again. Father knows that you don't want to admit defeat to Liu Hua, but this time it's not about who wins or who loses, but for the inheritance of my Xiang family!

It is better to take the elite of my Xiang family and choose to surrender, leaving a fire for my Xiang family lineage, and there will be a chance to become king in the future. Remember, you are the next head of the Xiang clan! "

At least at this stage, Liu Hua's interests are the same as his own, so he still gave this letter to Liu Hua.

Liu Hua didn't stay in Luoyang for long, and when he almost saw that the situation in Luoyang was slightly stable, he dispatched the thunder swordsmen, Yuyang Tuqi and Youyunqi and his red army to go to Nanyang. After all, Xiang Ceyu still needed to be solved.

Liu Hua looked calm after getting the letter. He added a sentence to it and sent Sima Lang to Xiang Ceyu as envoy to send this letter to Nanyang.

As for Xiang Jian, of course he will continue to be imprisoned. Again, the living Xiang Jian is much more valuable than the dead Xiang Jian.
