42, the king has the weapon, the concubine is nameless (4)
At this time, only Xu Fang's clear voice echoed slowly in the hall.
He spoke eloquently: "Businessmen are short-sighted and profit-seeking. Once they give up on Kaiyang, it will be very difficult and even take a long time to get them back."
"General, if Kaiyang loses the advantage of the business gathering of these three counties..." Xu Fang looked at Wang Zheng and said sincerely: "Next, we will have to expand our armaments, manage the place, and conduct daily exercises..."
"Each piece of this stuff costs a lot of money."
Although the Tianjun still has a surplus of money, Xu Fang, who is in charge of general affairs, is already somewhat aware of the crisis.
If you continue to be unable to get in or out in the coming time, you will be in trouble once you are in financial embarrassment.
Unless General Tiangong raises his butcher knife again and uses force to continue to plunder oil and water from the wealthy families...
"It's not impossible." Wang Zheng laughed dumbly after hearing Xu Fang's last resentful complaint: "But it's not appropriate to move for the time being."
"We'll wait until we take Xuzhou."
"If this is the case, General, I believe that the city gate must be opened and Kaiyang must resume normal traffic."
Although he is from Qingzhou, in Xu Fang's opinion, although Kaiyang is not as good as Linzi, if you look at the entire county, Langya is indeed more suitable as a base than his hometown Qijun.
This place is truly blessed.
Famines and epidemics that were common in other places at the same time were not experienced here at all, and the land and water were fertile and the resources were abundant.
For example, there are iron mines in Yunting to the north, and there are salt mines between Langya County and Xihai County to the west.
As the central county of this land, Kaiyang has a solid foundation and can be said to be rich and abundant.
More importantly, it has developed commerce and trade and has the ability to continuously form blood. As long as it returns to normal, they can use this to make up for their current biggest weakness: the lack of means to obtain money.
After hearing Xu Fang talk for a long time, Wang Zheng smiled.
In fact, he had already agreed with Xu Fang's point of view in his heart.
He even had one more reason for wanting to open Kaiyang than Xu Fang.
From Yu Jin's perspective, he mainly starts from the military perspective and considers stability.
But Xu Fang focused more on the economy and the long-term rule of the Heavenly Army;
As for the royal government, political prestige was also considered.
After capturing Kaiyang, with the help of the system, Wang Zheng's heavenly army already had the ability to capture the entire Xuzhou.
But the occupation after the attack was a big problem.
Whether it is administrative personnel or garrison soldiers...the royal government is in short supply.
Even though he knew that the greater his fame, the enemies he would attract might become stronger, but Wang Zheng still decided to build a brand name.
In the last years of the Han Dynasty, when the world was in chaos, he was actually a separatist force that could not be ignored.
Under this situation, Wang Zheng didn't want to keep secretive anymore.
He also hopes that his family's name will make the reputation of the Heavenly Army even more famous.
Even if the wealthy family doesn't come to vote, the children from the poor family can do it.
Don’t expect to have both moral integrity and talent, and you can have talent without virtue.
Therefore, reopening Kaiyang and flying the banner of the heavenly army openly may not be a beneficial choice.
As for the possibility of attracting any powerful enemies, at least for now, in Xuzhou, Wang Zheng doesn't really mind.
To put it bluntly, no matter whether Tao Qian or Kong Rong, these people did not appear in the original history of the Three Kingdoms. Wang Zheng also felt a little contempt and disapproval in his heart.
Two dishdogs...
come on!
...
On the second day, under Wang Zheng's order, the city gates of Kaiyang were opened wide in the morning.
Immediately, many caravans who had been trapped in the city for many days ran away with anxious faces and dispersed in a crowd.
Everyone was afraid that these yellow turban bandits would suddenly change their minds and rob their goods or even their lives.
Along with these merchants traveling from north to south, a piece of news quickly spread throughout Xuzhou and even the entire Han Dynasty in a very short period of time.
Kaiyang City, the seat of Langya Kingdom, has been captured by a group of yellow turban bandits!
The first to hear the news were Jiqiu County and Zengguo County (today's Fangcheng County, Nanyang, Henan Province) in the far south of Yangzhou.
However, not long after the county army in Jiqiu County learned the news, they ushered in Pan Zhang's 5,000-strong army, but it was too late.
Subsequently, more and more news came one after another.
It turns out that it’s not just Kaiyang...
As well as Linyi, Yangdu, Dongguan and Dong'an counties, they have also fallen into the hands of thieves!
After sorting out the ins and outs, many people finally figured out the route used by the Yellow Turban bandits to capture Langya, and more fully understood their intentions and origins.
This must be the group of yellow turban bandits that wreaked havoc in Linzi last year!
Regardless of the distance, orientation, or the ferocious combat power it displays, it is completely consistent.
Is this thief really that powerful?
Not only did they capture two county centers in less than a year, but they were also invincible along the way?
Many people further away, while secretly wondering, also silently increased their attention to Wang Zheng.
.....
Zengguo County is the closest to Kaiyang.
The county king, Zhao Kai, fell into panic early in the morning.
The thief is greedy, and his intentions have been completely exposed. Now that he has obtained half of Langya, he will definitely want to occupy the entire territory.
The remaining counties, such as Xihai, Dongwu, and Langya counties are far apart, and the thieves cannot seek the distance from the near, and will only attack the nearby areas first.
It is nothing more than Zengguo County and Jiqiu County.
With the thieves coming with such ferocity, it is more likely that both sides will attack at the same time!
This judgment was like a heavy boulder, weighing on the heads of everyone in the country.
"Ask the state pastor for help."
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Kai looked around at the meritorious officials and other officials in the hall, and said slowly.
As for whether Tao Qian can send reinforcements, and whether Zhenguo County can support it until then...
Zhao Kai felt really unsure.
Therefore, apart from this helpless sigh, Zhao Kai actually had one sentence that he did not say.
That is to "do your best and obey the destiny".
Whether Zhenguo County can be defended depends on when the thieves attack and when Zhou Mu comes to rescue.
But it is no longer something that the people of Zan Kingdom can decide on their own.
Looking at the figure speeding away, Zhao Kai smiled helplessly.
I once heard the words of a former great general: Don't be careful when doing great things, and don't hesitate to make small concessions when doing great things. Nowadays, people are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat, so why should I say that?
Today, I understand the true meaning.
...
In the spring of the second year of Xingping, it was not just Wang Zheng who was ambitious and ambitious.
Yangzhou, Jiujiang County, Shouchun.
Yangzhai Marquis Mansion.
Yuan Shu was staring at a line of official script he had just written with his own hands, his face looking quite proud.
He was born into one of the world's most prestigious families, and was quite accomplished in calligraphy. Now that he was in great power, he was a powerful figure, and his words were full of pride and arrogance.
Those are seven words: "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be painted high."
This prophecy from "Spring and Autumn Wei" has even been passed down to later generations and has endured for a long time. In today's Han Dynasty, it is even more mysterious and has a wide influence.
Paint high...
highway...
While I was lost in thought, I heard a respectful voice calling from outside the door: "My lord."
"Oh, Mr. Yan is here." Yuan Shu called out and just responded with a smile, but saw a solemn look on his face and asked in surprise: "But is there something wrong?"
However, he saw Yan Xiang directly bending down and lifting up his clothes, but he immediately bowed his head and knelt on the ground, unable to get up from his knees:
