Time flies, and it is already the spring of three years in Changping. At the beginning of this new year, when the earth regains its spring, the world is peaceful, but there is only a surging undercurrents within the sphere of influence of the Yong army.
A generation of princes, Situ Lei, the king of Yong, who had occupied the world for more than ten years, finally failed to survive the second month of the new year and eventually died of illness. Unexpectedly, Situ Lei's heir was his fifth son Situ
Che, rather than the eldest son of Situ Hao under normal circumstances, the death of Situ Lei and Situ Che's rise to power, made the world in an uproar.
Under the secret teasing of the Zhao army, Situ Lei's eldest son Situ Hao and the second son Situ Fei eventually disagree with Situ Che's inheritance of the throne of King Yong and separatist. Among them, Situ Fei quietly occupied the surrounding areas of Hanzhong and Chang'an, and
Situ Hao occupied most of the eastern part of Yongzhou.
Although neither Situ Hao nor Situ Fei clearly established his anti-flagship, Situ Fei blocked the passage from the south to the north and refused to recognize Situ Che's orthodox. Situ Che was busy gathering power while preparing for war, not knowing that he was preparing to fight the north.
His two brothers were still ready to continue to attack the Qi army eastward.
The Zhao army was naturally prepared for the split of the Yong army and was not surprised, but the other princes were secretly surprised and secretly happy. The split of the Yong army also represents a powerful and highly threatening prince.
, no longer exists. Especially King Murong Cheng of Qi, was so happy that he had a smile on his face all day long. If it weren't for fighting with the Xuzhou army and northern Yangzhou, I was afraid Murong Cheng would have led his army westward and recovered the lost territory.
In order to make his new entry unable to get back together, Situ Fei immediately returned to his heart, and to better the Zhao army, he began to trade a large amount of food and supplies with the Zhao army with refugees and extremely poor people.
I have to say that among the princes in the world, people's livelihood should be done well by the Zhao army. Under the Zhao army, the people will live the happiest life. Although Lin Shucheng did not agree with this matter, he believed that this move would be for oneself in the long run.
The disadvantage is very good for the Zhao army. However, for the overall development of Situ Fei, Lin Shucheng could only take into account the present moment first, and as for the long-term pros and cons, he could only put it aside first.
In just three months, the Zhao army moved from the southeast of Liangzhou, the three prefectures around Chang'an and Hanzhong to nearly 200,000 refugees and people. These more than 200,000 people were all moved by the Zhao army.
It was placed in the prefectures and counties in the western Liangzhou. It greatly supplemented the proportion of Han people in the western prefectures and counties, and what it paid was only some food. If we say that what the Zhao army lacked the most now was food.
Although the people who are under the jurisdiction of Zhao Jun are not high, the number of people who pay taxes is several times higher than before. In addition, the government will also purchase the surplus grains in the hands of the people at a stable price. This will not only make the government treasury sufficient grain storage
Reserves, whether for the war of a large army, can also prepare for weather and natural disasters at all times. In addition, they can also stabilize the people's food trade and prevent the people from suffering losses.
"It seems that although the Yong army is divided, it is not completely hostile!" Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Lord, I have a suggestion, which may be useful."
Zhao Xunxi said: "But it's okay!"
Lu Ziliang said: "The Yong army split, no matter who it is, they want to become the leader of the Yong army. Especially Situ Che, who was the heir designated by Situ Lei, so he naturally was unwilling to be out of the huge Yongzhou. In addition, he was
The new King Yong was named Yongzhou. Now his Yongzhou has been occupied by him, and he is a little unjustified."
"In addition, the Yong army marched south, and many of the accompanying generals and families of important officials were left in Luoyang, Yongzhou. This was also very bad news for Situ Che. Although Situ Hao occupied Yongzhou and mastered this
Although many of the powerful families of Yongjun can threaten Situ Che, they are also a hot potato.”
Pei Yi on the side said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu means, I didn't instigate it? Let the powerful and powerful Yong army in Chengdu put pressure on Situ Che? This may not work! In Situ Che's line, everyone is valued.
The confidants should have received a secret notice from Situ Lei, or had already moved their families away by Situ Lei. The remaining people should not bring too much pressure to Situ Che, maybe Situ Che will still
I will take this opportunity to clean up some people so that I can re-arrange my confidants to take office.”
Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "Otherwise, Situ Lei did not expect that things would become like this. Luoyang is the center of the Yong army, which is certain. Therefore, even if Situ Lei moved the families of some powerful and important officials, there would not be many.
Yes, it was because Ling Xiao moved secretly after he arrived in Luoyang and felt that things were difficult to handle. There were not too many of them."
"Secondly, I didn't just provoke it from it, but also suggested that Situ Hao, if he wants to securely occupy Yongzhou, and want to be on par with Situ Che and be in the same position, he should be crowned king! Don't forget, the little emperor of Dayan,
But it is still in Luoyang City. Although the little emperor is useless, the right to be a king is still in his hands."
Situ Liang and others immediately smiled and said, "Fan! Great goodness! This plan is amazing! Not only will Situ Hao be appointed as king, but other princes in the world have also been appointed as kings, completely disturbing them. This will not only make Dayan
The thought of disappearing from the hearts of the people in the world can also cause chaos in the world. The most important thing is that when we march westward, we don’t have to worry about the princes in the south attacking us.”
When Zhao Xun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded secretly. Since then, the Great Yan Dynasty has completely fallen. Secondly, although there was a Yanzhou army acting as a flank in the south, this did not completely guarantee the safety of Zhao during the army's western expedition. If the south is in the south, it would not be able to fully guarantee the safety of Zhao.
The battle between the princes can ensure the safety of their own headquarters to the greatest extent.
"Just do this, I didn't take action in the shadow guards and hidden arrows in both places." Zhao Xun made the final decision.
"By the way, what about Ling Xiao who was sent to Luoyang by Situ Lei? Unlike Lin Shucheng, this person did not surrender to Situ Hao, and I don't know where he was?" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered the three major aides under Situ Lei's command.
Situ Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know where we are! No one of us has discovered where Ling Xiao has gone. It seems that Situ Hao's people have not found Ling Xiao's place."
"Oh? This Ling Xiao is more sleeker than Lin Shucheng. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately fled away. He asked someone to check it out. If it could be used for us, it would be the best. This person is familiar with the situation of Yong Jun.
It can be a great help to us." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"Spring is coming, and everyone must be very clear about our goal for the new year, that is, the countries in the Western Regions. A few months ago, we sent people to investigate the countries in the Western Regions. Although we did not understand everything, we also figured out one thing.
The general situation. Therefore, the Western Expedition was my goal for nearly a year."
"Before this, I didn't have another goal, that is, Liangzhou. The land of Liangzhou is located west of Bingzhou, and it is the rear side of my expedition without the Western Expedition. If something goes wrong with Liangzhou, it will not affect my expedition without the Western Expedition without the Western Expedition.
The overall situation, but the logistics supply required by the army must bypass a large circle and approach the Turks, which is extremely unsafe. Therefore, my primary purpose is to take down all the eastern part of Liangzhou."
"By the way, our goal is Liangzhou. We must prepare for our Western Expedition. Situ Fei should be very clear about what he reacts? What is the situation in Liangzhou?"
Situ Liang said: "Situ Fei knows our actions very clearly. Although he is unwilling to accept it, he knows more clearly that he is far from our opponent at this moment. Now he is more worried that we will take advantage of the situation and attack.
His other territories. Therefore, in the land of Liangzhou, he no longer intends to compete with us."
"However, Situ Fei has moved all the soldiers in Liangzhou to the Wei River line and set up defenses on the southern border of Liangzhou. His request was to transfer Tianshui Mansion to him as a border."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Tianshui? Give it to him. Even if he occupies this place, why don't I be afraid? Tianshui is located on the flank of Chang'an and is also the key to protecting the connection between Chang'an and Hanzhong. Since there is no intention to start a war, let's put it in his hands first.
To avoid being too forced, there will be any accidents. It is normal for Situ Fei to relocate his soldiers and replenish himself. What about the people in the prefectures and counties in the eastern Liangzhou? Did he move? The prefectures and counties in the eastern Liangzhou are Liangzhou
The most prosperous place, most Han people in Liangzhou live here. If he was asked to move all the people here, it would not be good news for us."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "It is naturally impossible to say that Situ Fei does not have this idea. However, with his current strength and his current energy, he is not enough to do these things. In the prefectures and counties in the eastern Liangzhou,
But with millions of people, even the young and strong, there are more than one million. How can he settle down? These people need countless money and food to move, but they also have to arrange a place for him to settle down and live.
Situ Fei cannot take out the land if he needs to reconcile the land."
"Besides, even if he can settle down, how many of these people are willing to leave the countryside? My Zhao is about to command the eastern part of Liangzhou. The people here will not know that the policies of our Zhao army are better than those of the Liangzhou army.
OK? With the tight time, Situ Fei has to take into account the matters under his rule and the pressure from Situ Che in the south, so he has to give in."
"However, the powerful and powerful people and the landlords in the eastern prefectures and counties in Liangzhou went south with the Liangzhou army and moved to Situ Fei's territory. It seems that our policies really scare these people."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "This is good, and it also facilitates our reform of the local area. Once these people leave, our resistance will be much smaller. In addition, we do not need to pay extra money to buy the fields that have been abandoned by these people.
”
Lu Ziliang said: "The closest to Liangzhou now, and the most convenient thing is the three towns commanded by General Li Chenfeng. They can be allowed to march south directly and occupy the eastern part of Liangzhou."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Okay, let Li Chenfeng lead his army south to take over the eastern part of Liangzhou. In addition, Pei Yi, your government affairs department will immediately select suitable civil servants to be responsible for the government affairs of the prefectures and counties in western Liangzhou. New policies
Reforms must be implemented immediately and always put in the first place.”
Pei Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, lord, my subordinates understand!"
"The Zhao army has moved!" In Chang'an City, Situ Fei, who received the news, looked solemn.
"Lord, the Zhao army's actions have long been as expected. This matter cannot be changed, and there is no need to worry. What the Zhao army wants now is to fight within our Yong army, and it is definitely not to be the one who personally urges the army." Lin Shucheng
He said calmly, but his face also looked solemn.
"The Zhao army is powerful and cannot force the enemy! More importantly, I am not completely rectified and completed within now." Wang Hewen, who was on the side, also responded in a muffled voice.
"Okay, don't look at the Zhao army anymore. The loss of Liangzhou is not our fault, but no one cared about it. Now, we will completely rectify Hanzhong and Chang'an, which is also good.
There is a way to deal with it. Recently, the Yizhou army has been mobilized frequently, and I don’t know if it is to act on us or something else.” Situ Fei found that his position was not that easy to do.
If the Zhao army does not move, it will shock the princes in the world. In the third year of Changping, the first one to use force was not the south, but the Zhao army. The 50,000 Zhao army rushed straight to Liang from north to south, east to west.
Eastern state.
However, the Liangzhou army did not make any decent resistance at all. In just half a month, the eastern part of Liangzhou was occupied by the Zhao army. For a moment, except for Situ Fei, who understood the details, the other princes were all frightened.
After hearing the news, the excitement of the split of the Yong army disappeared. The stronger the Zhao army was, the more depressed he felt. He was jointly attacked by several princes, and not only was the loss of troops, but he would still be in charge of the territory.
Most of it was lost.
"I had known that I should have killed you!" Murong Cheng regretted it very much now. If he knew that Zhao Xun could achieve his current achievements, when Zhao Xun was still in Youzhou, he should have stopped Situ Lei's struggle and take Zhao Xun first.
Apart from that, it would not have become the current situation. Situ Lei died and he lost a big enemy, but Zhao Xun rose and became a stronger enemy, even better than Situ Lei.
As for the people of the prefectures and counties in the western Liangzhou, they were naturally happy and popular with the arrival of the Zhao army. They had already known the lives of the people in Zhao, and they wanted the Zhao army to arrive earlier. And Zhao
The army did not disappoint them. As soon as the Zhao army officials arrived in eastern Liangzhou, they immediately began the reform of the new policy, which made the people very happy.
"The Zhao army has already won the hearts of the people of the world!" The merchants and the big families who were still left in the western part of Liangzhou sighed. This means that some of the things in their hands must be handed over.
Yizhou and Chengdu Prefecture became the new power center of Yong's army. Although Situ Che was in charge of the Yong's army, although many people expected, under the premise that Situ Lei was prepared, the power of the Yong's army was successfully handed over to Situ Che.
Situ Lei's death also divided the Yong army as a whole.
If it weren't for Situ Lei's death, I'm afraid that Situ Che had already led his army north to attack which two rebels were attacked.
"They both sent people here? The father died of illness. How dare they, as children, not come to worship in person? Two unfilial things!" After hearing the report, Situ Che immediately cursed.
You are King Yong, how dare they come? Although the officials around Situ Che did not speak, they all thought of this.
"Who is the person coming? Forget it, I am lazy to pay attention to it. When the father's mourning period passes, I will lead a large army to attack."
"Lord, except for the people sent by the two princes, all the other princes have arrived."
"You guys settle properly and don't make any mistakes!"
"Lord, the families of many officials below are now in Luoyang, in order to instruct many people to be in a turmoil. Should we send someone to discuss with Situ Hao and exchange their families for them?"
Lin Shiwen, whose eyes were black, said in a deep voice.
Situ Che's face suddenly turned gloomy, "Forex? How to exchange? Do you think Situ Hao will send them back obediently? Do you think Situ Fei will let them pass? In exchange! In your opinion, it is to let this king recognize him
All things are done correctly? Let him be outside?"
"Lin Shiwen, you, Lin Shucheng, Ling Xiao, are the most new officials under my father's command. Now Lin Shucheng has betrayed us and defected to Situ Fei, and Ling Xiao has disappeared without a trace. I don't want you
I also have other ideas!" Situ Che stared at Lin Shiwen and said coldly.
Lin Shiwen's face turned black and stared at Situ Che, and said in a singular voice: "Lord, Lin Shucheng surrendered to the enemy because he was already trapped in Liangzhou and could not leave, and his family was intercepted by Situ Fei's people under my eyes.
.I, Lin Shiwen, has been deeply favored by the former kings, and has a clear conscience in what he did."
Situ Che also felt that his words were a bit heavy. Thinking of Lin Shiwen's hard work over the past few months, he felt guilty, "Don't blame Lin Zheng Zheng, I am also irritated because of the incidents in the past few days. Since you have already mentioned it,
There must be corresponding insights, but it doesn’t matter if it can solve the problem?"
Lin Shiwen said in a deep voice: "What the minister wants is that now the prince cannot fight Situ Hao because of the prince's mourning period. Why not let him obey the name and listen to the tune or not? Furthermore, Situ Hao and Situ Fei are not the same.
Where are we defending the Zhao army to the north?"
"In addition, I have no hatred with the Qi army, which is deeper than the lord, Situ Hao and Situ Fei. Why don't I pacify the south first and then compete with them? Whether it is Situ Hao or Situ Fei, they
There is no point in expanding outward, and they have to bear the pressure of the Zhao army at all times. And we only need to beat the dogs in the water, completely eliminate the Qi army, and occupy the entire Jiangnan area."
"At that time, whether it is Situ Fei or Situ Hao, they will surrender obediently without attacking. Taking down Qi land, the Tang army and Xuzhou army will not be a problem. In the future, the world will be confrontation between the north and the south, and the lord will be more of a problem.
If you compete with Zhao Xun, you will be the best, and if you are the best, you will be the best. If you are a little worse, you will be the same as the world."
