Hanjia.
On the surface, Huang Yuan, the governor, was at odds with Zhuge Liang, but in fact he was disdainful of Zhi Baiqian.
In the past, bartering in Shu had no so-called currency, making it profitable for these county guards.
Especially in the era when prices are turbulent, the common people fall down and profiteers are full.
Huang Yuan was one of the vested interests. Unexpectedly, since Liu Bei took charge of Yizhou, he quickly sold hundreds of coins.
I originally thought that Liu Bei wanted to harvest the people, and he was a fellow-minded person with him.
Unexpectedly, the money became the official currency and a powerful tool for stabilizing prices.
This means that Huang Yuan and others no longer have the power to set prices at will.
The people seemed to have paid five baht of copper, but what they received in exchange was only one baht of copper.
But the purchasing power has been greatly increased, unlike in the past when profiteers just opened their mouths and prices rose at will.
Only then did Huang Yuan, Yong Kai and others realize that they had been deceived by Liu Bei!
This imperial uncle, who is also a member of the Han clan, is not here to harvest the people, but to benefit the people and weaken them!
Huang Yuan repeatedly went to court to impeach Zhuge Liang, targeting Zhibai Qian.
Although he knew that the initiator of Zhibaiqian was Liu Mang, Huang Yuan did not dare to impeach him and could only target the kind elder Zhuge Liang.
How could Liu Mang not know this little thing about the other party?
Therefore, the main target of surgery is Huang Yuan!
Fortunately, Huang Yuan was not popular among the people, and most of the people in Hanjia had already moved away and participated in the return of Hanzhong.
This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, allowing Liu Mang to let go.
Ma Jun's weapons bureau has been transferred to Chengdu by Liu Mang, where it is more convenient for the skilled craftsmen of the Mohist family to display their best skills.
Of course, Jingzhou's Arms Bureau still has people maintaining it.
"Sir, this is a stone car."
Ma Jun smiled and said: "Of course, it's stronger than Liu Ye's!"
Liu Mang nodded and smiled: "It was useless in the battle of Luocheng back then, but now it can allow Deheng to show off his glory!"
Ma Jun laughed: "If the young master hadn't appreciated our Mohist brothers, we might still be traveling around and living a homeless life."
Liu Mang looked at Han Jia, then rode his horse forward and shouted, "Huang Yuan! My father treated you well and asked you to still guard Han Jia. Why did you rebel?"
Huang Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed: "Liu Mang! You and your son won't give me a chance to survive!"
"Unless you abolish the direct money, I agree to surrender!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mang's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
As expected, I can’t even see the coffin without crying!
"I'll count to three, you still have a chance to think about it."
Liu Mang looked at Huang Yuan indifferently, and the latter was also startled, obviously intimidated by Liu Mang.
"three!"
Liu Mang directly ordered: "Ma Jun, attack the city for me!"
Seeing the stone cart pushed by the Han army, Huang Yuan sneered and ordered his soldiers to hang wet cowhide on the city wall to block the stone cart.
It's just that he underestimated the enemy!
This is a wheel-type stone-making vehicle improved by Ma Jun!
Originally, Liu Ye's stone cart was eye-catching enough in the Battle of Guandu.
But you have a good plan, and I have a ladder to cross the bridge.
Everyone discovered that wet cowhide could protect the city wall very well.
Especially the single-shot stone car needs a long time to fill.
Huang Yuan's idea was not wrong, but his mistake was that he underestimated Ma Jun!
boom! boom!
Huge boulders are constantly bombarding the city, but they load faster, are more powerful, and have a longer range than ordinary stone-fired vehicles!
Huang Yuan originally wanted to order the soldiers guarding the city to burn the stone cart with fire arrows, but in the end he found that the distance was too far!
As for the cowhide hanging on the city wall, it cannot effectively prevent the siege and can only be used for blowing.
"Senior brother, what a powerful stone-shooting cart!"
"Remember, science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
Liu Mang touched Jiang Wei's forehead and said with a smile: "We must use material resources in war!"
The stone bullets thrown by the stone carts were like flying fireballs, constantly attacking the city.
Huang Yuan's defenders were all knocked unconscious one by one, and the whole city seemed to be shaking!
"Liu Mang! If you have the ability, don't use these crooked ways to confront me head-on!"
Huang Yuan roared loudly. Liu Mang, as the siege party, should have suffered huge losses!
Now it seems that he, the defender of the city, has been beaten to the point where he is unable to fight back!
This unscientific!
That’s not what Sun Tzu says in The Art of War!
Defending the city obviously has the advantage!
"Huang Yuan, if you don't need your brain, you can donate it to those in need."
"Why should I sacrifice the lives of my brothers when I can just wait for work and conquer the city without spending a single soldier?"
"Everyone, you all heard just now that Huang Yuan actually encouraged me to send you to attack the city!"
Liu Mang shouted: "Intensify your strength and hammer this bastard!"
The Han army was as powerful as a rainbow, constantly filling the city wall with stone bullets, and instantly smashed the city wall into tatters!
As long as the launch continues, sooner or later the city wall will collapse.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Mang actually ordered to stop the attack.
"Senior brother, why did you stop attacking the city when we were about to attack it?"
Jiang Wei had a look of confusion on his face, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Don't stop us when we return. If we surround our army, we will be surrounded. Don't press the enemy when we are poor."
"Don't block the enemy troops who are retreating back home, leave a gap for the surrounded enemy troops to escape, and don't over-pressure the enemy troops who are on the verge of despair."
"Considering the psychological state of the enemy, don't be afraid if he is deeply trapped, stand firm if you have nowhere to go, be restrained if you go deep, and fight as a last resort."
"In every siege, a corner must be opened to show the way out, so that the enemy will not be strong enough to fight, then the city can be taken out and the army broken!"
Jiang Wei was thoughtful, and Zhuge Liang's explanation was very thorough, which made him enlightened.
"Do you understand what the teacher said? That's why Huang Yuan must run away!"
Liu Mang looked at the city with determination, Huang Yuan was already a turtle in the jar.
That night.
The city was on fire, and Huang Yuan actually chose to burn the city to stop the Han army.
"Sir, Huang Yuan burned the city, and a large number of troops fled to the northeast! A small number of troops fled up the river!"
Ma Dai came to report, while Liu Mang looked at Jiang Wei with a smile: "Tell me, where do you think Huang Yuan will go?"
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and said calmly: "Senior brother, I think the large army in the northeast is more like Huang Yuan's plan to suspect soldiers!"
"This person has only two options! One is to go south and defect to the Nanzhong rebels! The other is to flee along the river and go to Soochow!"
"In my opinion, Huang Yuan definitely wants to flee to Soochow!"
Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang cast approving glances at Jiang Wei.
Drawing inferences from one example, there will be no talent gap in the big man!
"Okay! I will leave it to you to command this battle, are you confident?"
When Jiang Wei heard this, he couldn't believe it. Now that he was only fourteen years old, he was entrusted with an important task by Liu Mang!
"What? Don't you dare to act?"
"Dare! Thank you senior brother and teacher for your cultivation!"
Liu Mang smiled and summoned the generals, then pointed at Jiang Wei.
"This is my junior brother, let him command this battle!"
"His orders are my orders!"
"All generals must obey orders and must not disobey!"
Liu Mang has always been prestigious in the army, and the generals immediately clasped their fists and said, "I am willing to listen to the arrangements of the prince!"
