Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 764 Cao Wei Li Tang Messenger (4K)

"what?"

Deng Yu, Wu Han, and Zhu You, the men and women who were born in Nanyang, suddenly changed their expressions.
Ma Wu ranked low among the 28 generals in Yuntai, but he had high qualifications. He was the first to raise troops in the last years of Xinmang, and he followed Liu Xiu to participate in the Kunyang War as a servant.

Among the generals in Nanyang, although he is not the most powerful, everyone still recognizes his identity as a big brother.

It is really shocking that the big brother of the Nanyang family suddenly died in battle in Xiangyang.

Liu Xiu sighed and passed the information to everyone.

Deng Yu glanced at ten lines, and quickly read the battle situation in the direction of Jingchu, frowning slightly.Others also looked at it quickly, with different expressions.

Feng Yi, who was in Xiangyang, and Jia Fu and Cen Peng, who came to support from Luoyang successively, were all the most capable generals in the Han army, able to guard the important place of Weizhen and a country.

But the three top famous generals and so many generals teamed up, and the final result was that the army was defeated and several generals were lost.

Such a result was somewhat difficult for everyone to accept.

Liu Xiu also felt a little hard to accept, but he recovered quickly.

Struggle for hegemony in troubled times is not going to be smooth sailing. When the army started back then, his elder brother was innocently killed, and his family suffered many casualties.When the elder brother died, he cried behind his back under the quilt, but outside, he was always calm and composed, with a tenacity that would not be defeated by anyone.

He seems to have the destiny, shaking the world from the battle of Kunyang in one fell swoop, then conquering Hebei, and setting the Central Plains seems to be a matter of course, but in fact, he suffered no less difficulties than any founding king in history.

From raising troops to securing the position of emperor, it took a relatively short time to pacify the world. It should be Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Han Gaozu Liu Bang... Among them, Li Yuan's process of pacifying the world was smoother...

Liu Xiu was called the Son of Destiny by later generations, but it took 14 years to pacify the world... Hebei, Central Plains, Guanzhong, Longyou, Bashu... were all fought in bloody battles.

During this process, Liu Xiu himself fled several times and almost died of starvation. Feng Yi died of illness while attacking Longyou. Died on the battlefield, it took 14 years of the war to finally clarify the world.

People who say that Liu Xiu wins the world easily ignore the hard work of Liu Xiu and many civil and military soldiers under his command, and only attribute their achievements to the destiny, which is a bit superficial.

All kinds of experiences have made Liu Xiu extremely tenacious. Although he is heartbroken for Ma Wu's death in battle, he will soon return to normal and quickly judge the current situation.

"Your Majesty, the Xia army dominates the south, and it has become a trend. However, the Xia army has conquered east and west in recent years. It is thousands of miles away from Jinling to Jiangling, and a large area of ​​land has not yet been consolidated. After the war with our army, as long as Xia Lord does not faint, he will never I will send troops to attack Xiangyang again..."

Deng Yu said.

His view is very simple. From the time when Great Xia destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty to the capture of Anqing, Jiujiang, Jiangxia and other places, its territory expanded by more than half, and a large area of ​​its territory was in a semi-independent state.

Daxia's next step is to sort out the interior, and can no longer expand externally.If Daxia sends troops northward to attack Xiangyang again, then the Eastern Han Dynasty only needs to wait for work with leisure, and then send top generals to cut off the Yangtze River.

"Our army's next step is to rectify our troops. If there is a chance, we might as well attack Bianliang first...Compared with Daxia, Cao Wei in the east is our great enemy!"

Cao Wei was the mortal enemy who usurped the throne of Liu Xiu's descendants, and Bianliang was very close to Luoyang, with Xingyang in the middle. The large plain to the east of Xingyang was the real Central Plains.

The Eastern Han Dynasty only relied on Luoyang and Nanyang, and the speed of food and grass accumulation could never catch up with Cao Wei.

Not long ago, the Han army chose to go south to Jiangling instead of attacking Cao Wei. The main reason was that the situation in the south was very favorable to the Eastern Han... In fact, if Wang Jing hadn’t sent Xie Xuan Wanli to take a detour to capture Jiangling, the chances of the Han army taking Jiangling first were very high. .

With such a good opportunity, anyone would choose to go south to grab a bargain.

At present, Jingchu is occupied by the Xia army, and the Han army retreats to Xiangyang. The Xia army is unable to go north, and the two dynasties will not fight again in a short time.

That being the case, the Han army should immediately shift its strategy.

"Not long after Cao Wei seized the land of Qingqi, the foundation has not yet been firmly established. Your majesty might as well use Da Sima to sit in Hanoi to resist Li Tang, and then lead an army to attack Bianliang and seize the sacred land of the Central Plains! If you can annex Cao Wei and cultivate for a few years, our dynasty You can sweep Hebei and become the first dynasty in China..."

Deng Yu analyzed the current situation and said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiu pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, agreeing to Deng Yu's words.

Since ancient times, the princes in the north have rarely set foot in the south before they have completely established their advantages. It is already very good to occupy Xiangyang and get a bridgehead to go south.

"Teacher's words are right. Cao Cao's ambitions are known to the world, and he is the sworn enemy of our dynasty. We must not give him time to digest Qing Qi!"

Wu Han said.

However, it is impossible for any courtier of the Eastern Han Dynasty to have a good impression of Cao Wei. Although the destiny of the Eastern Han Dynasty was lost at that time, and the heroes were vying for the throne, Cao Cao was not seeking to usurp the throne, but led his troops to fight the world. Apart from some moral difficulties, there is nothing to be sorry for. of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There is an essential difference between Cao Cao and Sima Yi.

But in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao enjoyed wealth and honor for 400 years from the beginning of Cao Shen in the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Xia Army resulted in the loss of several generals including Ma Wu. However, the situation in the world will change in the future, and the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Great Xia may still join forces to form an alliance.

As for the Eastern Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, although there has not been a large-scale fight until now, everyone on both sides has a hunch that there will be a battle between the two sides, and it will be a series of life-and-death battles. It is impossible to form an alliance. Even if the alliance is formed, no one will really believe it. .

……

Wang Jing did not pay attention to the reaction of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the war between the two armies ended, he stayed in Jiangling for more than a month.

The Han army in Xiangyang shrunk its line of defense and did not send naval warships to engage in constant skirmishes with the Xia army's navy as before.

Feng Yi also sent envoys to Jiangling to visit Wang Jing, willing to pay some property in exchange for captured generals and soldiers.

Wang Jing discussed with Gao Yan, Liu Bowen and others, and finally agreed to the exchange.

The tense atmosphere between the two sides also declined rapidly after the exchange of prisoners. The Han army obviously accepted the reality and had no intention of coveting Jiangling in a short time.

This result made Wang Jing a little strange who thought that the Han army and Xia army would face each other for a long time in the land of Jingchu.

But he didn't think much about it, the other party's reaction was also beneficial to Daxia.

Since the two sides will not go to war, let Lu Bu and Yu Wencheng sit in Jiangling and Yiling for a period of time, and these two invincible generals can be recalled to Jinling.

Thousands of warships cover the vast waters of the Yangtze River, and at a glance, you can't see the edge from beginning to end.

On the five-toothed ship.

Wang Jing, Gao Yan, Liu Bowen and others watched the scenery leisurely and narrated.

Zhang Juzheng, who had been serving as the head of the secret document supervisor by Wang Jing's side, was released to take charge of Jiangling's internal affairs this time.

"Yiling, Jiangling, Baling, Jiangxia... as well as Jiujiang, Jiangxi and other places, if these places set up provinces, the number of provinces in our dynasty will exceed [-]... Even so, there are still large areas of land that have not been included in our Under the rule of the court, we will continue to set up provinces in the future!"

"The number of provinces is too large, and there will only be more prefectures and counties under them! There are so many prefectures and counties, it is too difficult to fill officials! There are too many provinces, which is not conducive to central governance!"

"I think that there should be another "Tao" level yamen above the province!"

When passing by Jiangxia, Wang Jing talked with them about the governance of Jingchu and other places, and Gao Yan made suggestions from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Yan's official position in the Daxia Dynasty was a privy envoy, who was in charge of military affairs.

However, he is still the Earl of Daxia... When he returned to Jinling to discuss meritorious deeds, his title of Marquis was not a problem. Opinions are not out of line.

Gao Yan has both civil and military skills, and has the talent of a prime minister.Wang Jing attached great importance to the suggestions put forward.

"Above the province, set up a yamen?"

Wang Jing frowned slightly and pondered slightly.

Among the later generations, the basic territory of the Ming Dynasty was two capitals and thirteen provinces, and that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was 22 provinces. Afterwards, the number of provinces increased, but the territory shrank a little.

In the world of Shenzhou, the land is vast. The land under the direct control of the Great Xia Dynasty can be divided into more than [-] provinces. This is not counting the large territories of Jiangxi and AH...Lingnan, Quanzhou and other places will also belong to the Great Xia in the future Target.

As Gao Yan said, it would be too many to set up provinces.

It's just that there is another yamen above the province, which makes Wang Jing, who is used to the three-level system of provinces, prefectures and counties, a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, for example, Jinling, Zhenjiang, and Jiangdu provinces can set up Gyeonggi Province! Lin'an, Shaoning, and Jintai provinces can set up Jiangnan Province...Of course, I just made a suggestion for His Majesty to consider."

"Whether it will be successful or not, His Majesty and several senior scholars need to seriously consider it!"

Gao Xing said, cupping his hands.

"I will seriously consider it!"

Wang Jing nodded slowly and said.

As a monarch, he had a golden eloquence, and he couldn't speak too directly, but when talking to Gao Yan and Liu Bowen, Wang Jing didn't have any ambiguity when he should express his position.

The fleet arrived in Anqing.

In addition to the naval warships of Daxia, there are many more merchant ships in the Yangtze River waterway.

Many merchant ships were built by the Daxia Ministry of Industry Shipyard. In addition to the fleet of the Royal Household Office, many of them were sold to private merchants.

Jiujiang is not yet obvious.Not long after Anqing changed from a camp to a province, many caravans and merchants from Jinling and Jiangnan formed fleets with keen sense of smell and rushed to bring a lot of supplies.

It's easy to earn tens of thousands of silver crystal coins in one trip.

Under the environment where the Great Xia Dynasty could not stop doing business, Yangzhou, Jinling, and Jiangnan, which had a strong commercial atmosphere, became increasingly prosperous in business and trade, and continuously fed back the land just captured by the upper reaches through the Yangtze River.

In the Shenzhou world, Wang Jing doesn't have to worry about the emergence of a bourgeoisie in the prosperity of business... Personal might suppress everything, no matter how rich a businessman is, he can't shake the foundation of Daxia.

For Wang Jing, as long as businessmen pay taxes according to the rules, then everything is easy to talk about.

Along the way, the fleet stopped and went.

Wang Jing was not in a hurry to return to Jinling. He asked Lu Xun and Xie Xuan to return first with some warships, and he himself brought Gao Yan, Liu Bowen and tens of thousands of soldiers. Taking this opportunity, he started patrolling along the river from Anqing.

Chizhou, Tongling, Wuhu... the tour was not over until Dangtu.

The places he inspected were included in the rule of the Daxia government earlier, and except for a few issues, they looked prosperous.

There is an incentive to be promoted quickly as long as you make political achievements, and the officials assigned to the prefectures and counties are all motivated and rarely corrupt.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all parts of the Great Xia are as clean as water.

There are still cases of corruption and oppression of the people. These things are inevitable in later generations. Even if Wang Jing becomes the emperor of heaven, he will not be able to put an end to the greed in people's hearts.

It can only be found and solved together, and other things that Wang Jing has not seen can only be handed over to the prefectures and counties and the inspecting provinces to inspect the censors.

After entering the territory of Jingzhao Mansion.

An urgent memorial was sent to the five-toothed ship through Longying.

"I can return to Jinling in a short time. What can't be reported after returning to Jinling? Could it be that I found Han Xin and Yue Fei?"

There are some doubts in everyone's mind.

Wang Jing took the memorial, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that Li Tang's envoy has arrived!"

Yes, after receiving the results of the battle between the Han army and the Eastern Han Dynasty in Jingchu, the envoys of Li Tang and Cao Wei arrived one after another.

Among them, Cao Wei's envoy came half a month ago, and Wang Jing already knew the news when he was on tour.

The memorial delivered this time is the news that Li Tang's envoys have come tens of thousands of miles with the mission and have entered the territory of Daxia.

Cao Wei's envoy was Zhong Yao.

And Li Tang's emissary is Tang Jian, Minister of Rites.Using one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion as the envoy, the purpose of the other party's trip can be easily guessed.

"Li Tang and my dynasty are separated by the Central Plains, and have no contact with each other... Now that the mission is sent here, they should know the news of our dynasty's victory over the Han army and want to form an alliance with our dynasty!"

Gao Yan said.

Everyone can judge this point.

Li Tang is competing with the Eastern Han Dynasty for Hanoi, and the two sides will win and lose each other. According to the latest information, Li Tang has a slight upper hand now.

However, Liu Xiu and the famous generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty were not weak. Even with Li Jing as the commander, they could not capture the complete Hanoi in a short time, and then looked at the Central Plains...

Judging from the fact that the envoys of Cao Wei and Li Tang arrived successively, in addition to sending envoys to Jinling, Li Tang must have also sent envoys to Bianliang to contact Cao Wei.

The feudal lords fight in disorder, make friends with each other far away and attack with near, this is the most reasonable saying since the Warring States period.

If Li Tang formed an alliance with Cao Wei and Daxia, and the three dynasties joined forces, the Eastern Han Dynasty would be hard to resist.

The situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not very good, but this is also a natural defect of the land of the Four Wars, there is no way.

"Your Majesty, if Li Tang invites me to send troops to the north together, it is best not to agree... I have expanded the dynasty too fast, and I have reached the limit, and I can no longer send troops outside!"

Gao Yan said seriously.

After hearing the news from Li Tang's envoy, he deduced the other party's plan.

If after Daxia completely digested the existing territory, the other side sent envoys, without the other side asking, Gao Yan would take the initiative to invite Li Tang to send troops together.

Now is not the time.
