Chu Yu said seriously, "My lord, if you say this, you are telling the truth. This time, we really have a lot of room for cooperation!"
"Why did you say that?" Duan Ye put Yu Jue back, raised his head, and looked at Chu Yu who looked excited and asked.
"It's very simple!" Chu Yu said, "How big the space for cooperation depends on how big the interests are! This time, we have the army and the people's support, and our success may be very high."
"No, no, no, I don't care about this, or in other words, I don't care too much." Duan Ye shook his index finger, "What you said is your reason for doing it, not my reason."
"Of course you can get a lot," Chu Yu said. "Fu Hong has been pushing back and waiting for the position of the Liangzhou Governor that you want. I'm afraid that when he gives it to you, the corner of the Liangzhou Governor's Guanfang Seal will be missing."
All round”
"What you said is not impossible," Duan Ye said slowly, "but you have to figure out some things. First, Liangzhou is my territory now. Whether you seal it or not, I am the Lord of Liangzhou. I want to
Yes, it’s that title.”
"yes"
"Furthermore," Duan Ye said meaningfully, "I came to Chang'an because Fu Hong is the legitimate king of heaven. Only by ennobling him can it be effective. If I help you, even if you succeed, at least it will last for a long time."
During the time, you are rebellious, let the rebellious canonize me, hahaha, with all due respect, this title is not so attractive to me."
Duan Ye said this, and it actually makes sense. The reason why status is important is because it holds great righteousness and stands upright. Fu Hong is now the king of heaven, and the officials granted by the king of heaven must still be a deterrent. But if he helps Fu Rui rebel
Well, no matter how powerful it is, that’s another story
"Really?" Chu Yu didn't seem surprised at all. He smiled and said, "What if I give you something else?" "What?" Although Duan Ye seemed to have thought of something in his heart, on the surface, he still
Looks like he doesn't care at all
Chu Yu stood up and said leisurely, "Guanzhong is the place where the Di people thrive, so naturally it must be occupied. Longzuo is the barrier of Guanzhong, which is also indispensable, but what about other places..." Duan Ye
After hearing this, my eyes suddenly lit up! There is a mystery in these words! In other places, the meaning in those words is huge!
In fact, in Duan Ye's view, giving titles to others, whether it is children of gold and silk, or titles of cattle and sheep, is all vain and of no use at all. What is really useful, what can really make Duan Ye's heart move? Of course.
It's land!
In fact, speaking of one thousand or ten thousand, many things are renewable, but land is non-renewable. Once the land is occupied, everything on the land will be available. With land, there will be population, resources and manpower.
, you can produce, you can form an army. If you have resources, you can arm the army, and stimulate combat effectiveness. With these, you can compete for dominance in the world!
Duan Ye is already very rich now. If it were under a complete market economy in later generations, Duan Ye's money alone would actually be enough to buy the world! But in this era, buying it won't work. You have to use the army.
The reason why Duan Ye is still considered a prince after he is defeated is mainly because he only occupies the land of Liangzhou.
From the perspective of the world's layout, Guanzhong is located in the northwest corner, but if you extend your vision to the northwest, you can clearly see a broader world, which also has a great impact on the security of Guanzhong and even the Central Plains.
The whole world, generally speaking, from east to west, the terrain becomes higher and higher from Guanzhong to the west, and can be divided into several levels. The terrain is higher than the first level. To the west of Guanzhong is the Longshan Highlands, and to the west of Longshan is the so-called
The land of Longyou, starting from the Weishui River Valley to Guanzhong, from the Western Han River Valley to Hanzhong, and from the Bailongjiang Valley to Sichuan, all have a high-rise building.
When the heroes of Guanzhong and the Central Plains are competing, their military focus lies in the dangerous mountains and rivers controlled by several passes. But in the current situation, the situation in the world is even more chaotic than the Three Kingdoms Confrontation or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Just inside Guanlong, in fact,
There are several other forces. When the internal situation in the Guanlong area is chaotic, the control of the situation in Guanlong depends on the control of the northwest peripheral highlands of Guanzhong. The northwest peripheral highlands of Guanzhong, with Longshan as the main body, extend to part of the Loess Plateau, roughly
The terrain including Tianshui, Pingliang, Qingyang and Yan'an is high enough to overlook Guanzhong. It is easier to approach the hinterland of Guanzhong from here, but it is more difficult to attack from the hinterland of Guanzhong.
This area is mainly a plateau and mountainous terrain. Several major rivers in the hinterland of Guanzhong, such as the Wei River, Jing River, Luo River and their tributaries, all originate from here and converge in a centripetal shape to the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain. These rivers cut through the mountainous lowlands formed by
The passage between the northwest region and the hinterland of Guanzhong has been operated for generations, forming some military towns. The more important military towns include Qingyang, Pingliang, Guyuan, Jingzhou, Longxi, Tianshui, and Longzhou.
The army plays an important role in putting pressure on Guanzhong. On the other hand, it also has a great influence on the determination of the situation in Guanzhong.
Qingyang, Pingliang, and Guyuan are located on the Loess Plateau in the upper reaches of the Jingshui River Valley. The road from here to Guanzhong via the Jingshui River Valley is very easy. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song and Ming Dynasties, this place has been an important place to resist the invasion of northwest Guanzhong minorities during the Western Han Dynasty.
, all of them belong to Anding County. The county is named after Anding. The meaning is: the stability of Guanzhong is tied to this place. An old saying says that Qingyang "guards Guanfu in the south, and Qiang Rongfu in the north has police in Qingyang, while to the south of Pingning, disasters are everywhere."
The skin is so thin, help can be slow!" And Pingliang "has dangerous mountains and rivers, controlling the border, and Yi is an important meeting", Jingzhou "is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and water and land flow through Lingbei, and the state is actually a tunnel."
In the process, here plays a decisive role
Longzhou and Tianshui stand on both sides of Longshan to the east and west, controlling the road through Longshan along the Weishui River Valley. Longshan is originally the western barrier of Guanzhong, but if a force invades Guanzhong from the east of Longxi, the situation in Guanzhong will be unfavorable, so Longzhou
He Tianshui is of great significance to the control of the situation in Longshan. Therefore, Longzhou is said to "control the dangers of Longshan, control Qin, and Fengzhichong, and become an important town in Guanzhong."
important town
To the west of Longshan, Longxi is a major center of gravity. Longxi was Longxi County during the Qin and Han Dynasties. As the old saying goes, "The wings cover Qinlong, control the Qiang and Rong, and cover the disputes in the valleys, and the plains of Sichuan are surrounded. The customs value strength, prepare for war, be good at field hunting, and be diligent."
To cultivate crops, countries that have used military force since ancient times have been sincere in this area, plowing and garrisoning, to defend and fight. In the east, they go up to Qin, Long, and Yong, and Qi's shoulders are sparse; in the south, they descend to Cheng, and Liang and Yi's throats are broken; in the west,
The key points of Zhilan, Hui, Erhe, Huang, and Gongchang are not trouble-free places. If you want to protect Guanzhong, you must first consolidate Longyou. If you want to consolidate Longyou, isn't Gongchang the place for the city?"
Directly north of Guanzhong, there are two layers of protective barriers. From Yan'an, Suide to Yulin, it borders Ningxia in the west, and the Yellow River and Shanxi in the east. This is the first layer. From there, it is blocked by the Hetao area to the north.
Yellow River, this is the second level
The increasingly higher terrain in the northwest of Guanzhong has also established the fact for all those who try to establish a foothold in the northwest. That is, if you want to ensure the safety of Guanzhong, you must control Longxi; if you want to control Longxi, you must control Hexi; if you want to control
Hexi, the Western Region must be pacified
Now Hexi is in Duan Ye's hands. As for the Western Regions, Duan Ye has Hexi and has the backing of force. In fact, he can't escape. Guanzhong is certainly the target where Duan Ye will spend a lot of effort in the next step, but he still needs a mouthful of food.
I was eating stuttering, but Duan Ye didn’t think too much about it for the time being.
In this way, Chu Yu's meaning is actually very obvious. He wants Guanzhong, and Longyou must be the barrier. Chu Yu didn't mention it at all!
But not mentioning it is the biggest statement!
That means that if Duan Ye helps them get rid of Fu Hong this time, Fu Rui is willing to give up all the land in the west except Guanzhong and Longyou as reward!
I have to say that Duan Ye was really tempted this time.
In fact, the land in the northwest is really huge. Sometimes, politics is a vague art. Theoretically speaking, from Hexi, to Qinghai, to the Western Regions, and even northern Sichuan, they all received such huge bonuses this time.
The capital is definitely considered as capital.
Chu Yu saw Duan Ye's expression was different and already knew that he was moved. He thought that this speculation was indeed correct. It seemed that if he could get Duan Ye's support, all difficult problems would be solved.
However, Duan Ye suddenly started to fight and said: "Mr. Chu, please forgive Duan Ye for being with me for a moment." "Excuse me, sir." After a while, Duan Ye came back with a map.
Chu Yu smiled bitterly at that time. It seemed that Duan Ye was really down-to-earth!
"Mr. Chu, look!" Duan Ye directly spread the map on the table. Chu Yu looked at it. This map was beautifully drawn and accurately marked. The mountains, rivers, military fortresses, etc. everywhere were very clear.
At that time, Chu Yu felt that this map alone was probably a priceless treasure. It was a pity that although Chu Yu was good at literary and military skills, he did not have a photographic memory. Otherwise, he would not have been able to give this map to
Write it down, even if Chu Yu didn’t run away in vain this time
Duan Ye quickly took out a pen and said: "Let's draw a stroke." "Draw? What to draw?" Chu Yu was a little confused.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chu, are you still pretending to be confused?" Duan Ye said with a smile, "What are the places that are going to be allocated to me? If we don't negotiate in advance, we won't be able to negotiate afterwards." "So you agreed?"
Chu Yu said in surprise
"Hey! You can't say that!" Duan Ye shook his pen, "It depends on how much land you can give me. If you give me more, I might agree when I am happy. If you give me less, it will be terrible."
