The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 380

After acquiring Yizhou, the Zhangwu Group only perfected the defense system and controlled the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As long as Cao Cao has no navy capable of fighting against the Jingzhou navy, Zhang Wu has nothing to do.

However, it is also a hidden danger that Hanzhong is in the hands of Cao Cao. He can mobilize an army to attack Yizhou from Hanzhong at any time.If Zhang Wu snatches Hanzhong again, not only will Yizhou be able to sit back and relax, but it will also threaten Guanzhong and Liangzhou, changing from passive to active.

After Zhang Wu acquired Yizhou, the situation in the world has basically settled down, that is, the confrontation between the two remaining princes in the world, one south and one north.This made Zhang Wu's civil and military officials very excited. The larger Zhang Wu's territory, the greater their power. If Zhang Wu can finally rule the world, then they will also become famous and become princes and ministers.

For example, Mi Heng, who used to be an arrogant scholar who was underappreciated for his talents and was almost killed, is now the number one civil servant under the command of the second largest prince in the world, handling half of the world's political affairs, which can be said to be in his hands.Some of the aristocratic families who ridiculed him and looked down on him back then are all begging him now.

If Zhang Wu can rule the world, then Mi Heng may ascend to the position of Sangong Jiuqing, which was unthinkable back then. Therefore, Mi Heng is not only full of enthusiasm, but also often rejoices that she took refuge in Zhang Wu early.

Unexpectedly, there was only Jiangxia in the past, and Zhang Wu, who was born with a bad background, now occupies half of the country. According to Zhang Wu's ability, he can be called the most wise lord in history, very promising Can finally rule the world!

The most important thing is that whether they are those who first followed Zhang Wu, those who joined later, or even those who were defeated and surrendered, he can treat them equally, never being suspicious and suspicious, only looking at ability, regardless of origin.Although the power and status of senior officials like Gan Ning, Mi Heng, Wei Yan, Ding Feng, etc. are higher, this is also very normal and reasonable. It also shows that Zhang Wu is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness.

Some of the people who turned to him later, as long as they had real talents and learning, were also reused. Now even Huang Quan and Zhang Ren, who came here recently, also have important responsibilities and are generals with real power.

And what reassures them the most is that although Zhang Wu was born as a martial artist, he is very tolerant. He never gets angry because of other people's objections. I have convicted others, let alone killed innocent people indiscriminately.

This is simply the enlightenment that those talented and honest people dream of. At least follow such a boss. As long as you don't rebel, then don't have worries and worries. killed.

After figuring this out, even a large number of civil and military officials from the former Yizhou who had recently defected to Yizhou were full of enthusiasm and hope.

Now that Zhang Wu has completely controlled the Yangtze River waterway, one of the benefits is that the business of the major families is better. Caravans can smoothly transport Shu brocade from Chengdu to Wu County, and can also smoothly transport Wu County silk fabrics to Chengdu. Free trade is possible throughout Jiangnan.

Many people can foresee that in the near future, Jiaozhou, the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, will also be included in Zhang Wu's territory, and it will be the real Jiangnan Free Trade Zone by then.

Zhang Wu ordered Liu Ba to be in charge of business management, and set up three tax collection departments in Chengdu, Jiangling and Jianye to be responsible for taxation of business activities in the entire south of the Yangtze River.As long as all caravans pay taxes at any of the tax collection bureaus in the above three places, they will be able to travel smoothly, and there will never be any duplicate tax collection.

The Jingzhou navy has wiped out all the water thieves on the Yangtze River long ago, and now even the water thieves around some large lakes such as Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake have almost been wiped out.

Zhang Wu's policy for these aristocratic families is that they give very little political consideration, and only those families who have made special contributions or major sacrifices have political consideration, but the economic policy is very favorable.Moreover, the families who made concessions to the common people in terms of rent and rent also had special compensation for doing business. The major families made enough money by relying on commerce and trade, so who cared about the income from the fields?

Of course, the most profitable ones are the top big families who can get military supply orders. Now Zhang Wu has nearly 30 troops under his command. The money spent by so many people on food, clothing, weapons and armor, etc. is astronomical.

The purpose of Zhang Wu's doing this is to let these aristocratic families stop thinking about monopolizing political resources, go into business, earn some money and enjoy life?If there are outstanding talents in the family, they will naturally not be buried, and they can become officials, but those who are not suitable for official positions can be vacated for talented people, including some talents from poor families.

Those big families that have been passed down for a long time, because of the family background, there will be at least a few promising people in each generation, as long as someone in the family is guaranteed to be an official, it is not good for other incompetent people to be officials. It is better to use the family With the strength to do business and make money, Zhang Wu has always emphasized the need to protect everyone's legal property anyway.

This is better than being monopolized by aristocratic families from top to bottom. Talented scholars from poor families will naturally be more grateful to Zhang Wu and cherish the opportunity when they have the opportunity to advance.

Changing the social status quo cannot be achieved in a short period of time. It requires a multi-pronged approach and a step-by-step approach. We should not be too eager, let alone intensify conflicts forcefully. We must make the best use of the situation.

After Gan Ning took down Wancheng, he ordered Wenpin to temporarily station [-] troops to deal with the prisoners of Cao Jun. He then led Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Zhu Huan and the rest of the army to join Zhuge Liang for the next step.

In fact, the plan for the next step is also very simple, that is, to feign an attack and join forces with Cao Cao to withdraw his troops from Hanzhong as soon as possible.

Why not really attack Hefei?
Because it is difficult to fight, there are [-] defenders in Hefei, [-] of which are elite cavalry, and there are three generals Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin. Zhuge Liang is not sure that he can take Hefei with his [-] soldiers.

Not to mention the reinforcements from Shouchun and Runan, even the [-] cavalry in the city could crush Zhuge Liang's [-] infantry in one charge.

The infantry phalanx Zhang Liao did not dare to charge, but the infantry did not have a formation when attacking the city. If Zhang Liao seized the opportunity and suddenly went out of the city to fight back, he would most likely rush directly to Zhuge Liang's central army and let him enjoy the treatment of Sun Shiwan .

Although Zhao Yun had [-] cavalry, the number was too small, and the quality of the cavalry was incomparable to that of the opponent. No matter how confident Zhao Yun was, he did not dare to use these [-] miscellaneous cavalry to counter Zhang Liao's [-] elite cavalry.Zhang Liao's current martial arts skills are not much worse than Zhao Yun's, and his ability to lead cavalry in battle is not weaker than Zhao Yun's.

If he had the Three Thousand White Horse Yicong in his hand, Zhao Yun would dare to give it a try.
