"Sir, this..."
Liu Zheng was startled.
He never thought that Qingyang Shuo's plan would be like this.
Take Hanzhong?
As an envoy to the Western Regions, what does he have to do with Hanzhong?
But when he looked at Qingyang Shuo's smiling face, he suddenly enlightened and said, "Sir, do you want me, Yinzhou, to show off my fighting power and pose a problem to that sage?"
Qingyang Shuo smiled and said: "Master, there is no better chance to win Hanzhong than this!"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, and suddenly his cloudy mind suddenly became clear.
yes.
Since Your Majesty, you have given me Yinzhou a big problem, then I, Liu Zheng, will give it back to you!
If it is true, as Qing Yangshuo said, that the Holy One intends to use the Yinzhou Army to "expand the territory", then does he like Yinzhou to have combat effectiveness, or not?
This is probably a choice that makes the Holy Spirit very troubled.
If at this time, Liu Zheng found an excuse to take Hanzhong. Should this Holy One be angry or should he not be angry?
You should be angry, because Liu Zheng launched a war for no reason. This time, it was not the county magistrate, but King Yong of Hanzhong! This is a serious prince. Although this prince has been hereditary for several generations and the throne has been reduced to the lowest level, the prince is still a prince and is one level higher than a duke.
If you launch a war against a prince and devour his territory, who will allow it?
but?
If Yinzhou can really win Hanzhong, it will raise another question from the side... The Yinzhou army is very strong! It is very possible for such an army to go up and expand the territory for the saint!
Wouldn't it be easy for such an army to conquer the Western Region?
Then you should be angry!
Still shouldn’t be angry!
Should he be punished or should he not be punished?
This question was thrown directly to the old emperor!
Do you care about the Long Yan Dynasty, a fallen prince one in thousands, or do you care about an army that can help you conquer the Western Regions?
He cares about a prince Xiaoyao whose name he can't even pronounce.
Or the Yinzhou Army who made great achievements for himself?
You choose.
How to choose?
Liu Zheng was so excited that he took a deep breath: "Sir, this is in line with our previous strategy, march west and go south!"
Qingyang Shuo chuckled: "Sir, Hanzhong claims to have 200,000 regular troops. Are you really not afraid at all?"
Liu Zheng smiled and replied: "Zheng is afraid that there is no reason to start a war, so that the world can know the strength of our Yinzhou Army!"
"good!"
Qingyang smiled sarcastically: "Young Master, if you plan to capture Hanzhong, you have to divide it with your wits or your strength. Which one do you prefer?"
"ah?"
Liu Zheng was stunned: "What are you doing?"
…
Hanzhong.
It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
To the north is the high and steep Qinling Mountains in China, which divides China from north to south, and to the south is the thick and long Bashan Mountain.
To the northwest is Liangzhou.
Because the terrain of Hanzhong is narrow from north to south and long from east to west, like a corridor running from east to west.
From the geographical location of Hanzhong, the north-south direction is an important hub for the Longyan Dynasty, and the waterways in Hanzhong are also quite developed! The Han River, which originates in Hanzhong, is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River.
This made Hanzhong become the "throat of Qin and Ba, and the neck of Long leads Shu", and its geographical location is of extremely strategic significance.
Hanzhong not only has natural geographical and transportation advantages, but also has climate and product advantages, which many strategic places do not have.
Hanzhong is located to the south of the north and north of the south, with four distinct seasons and two crops of rice and wheat.
Han River and Jialing River flow through it, forming a rich water system. The land is fertile, beautiful and rich, and it has long been known as the "Little Jiangnan in the Northwest" and the "Land of Fish and Rice".
This is a favorable condition for Hanzhong to become a farming base, support the people, station troops, and support the military.
Speak the truth.
When Liu Zheng traveled to the Longyan Dynasty, he was still complaining and very angry in his heart, why he was born in the barren Liangzhou instead of Hanzhong.
He has been jealous of Hanzhong for a long time.
Ever since Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty, there has been a saying that "whoever wins Hanzhong will win the world."
If he can really win Hanzhong and Bashu in the south, even if it is a flat land, if it develops smoothly, it will be equivalent to occupying almost half of the Longyan Dynasty!
only.
He never dared to think about it.
He thought that it would be a long time before this day came.
At least it should wait until the old emperor dies.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor's vicious plan gave Liu Zheng and Yinzhou an opportunity.
Actually.
Liu Zheng had no ill feelings towards King Yong of Hanzhong.
so.
If he took the initiative to start a war, he still wouldn't be able to do it.
And in this era, war needs a reason.
Wars between territorial lords, as long as the old emperor is alive, cannot end with the invasion of the occupied territory. Most of them are fought for dignity.
Therefore.
He decisively chose to outsmart him.
Qingyang Shuo's strategy is very simple.
Since ancient times, King Yong and the King of Shu in Shu have been enemies when they met, and they were extremely jealous, causing constant friction on the border.
Sichuan is a land of abundance, and Hanzhong is equally prosperous.
No one obeys anyone.
The key point is that both of them are populous states, with a population of several million, strong soldiers and horses, abundant military expenditures, and the people are loyal.
No one obeys anyone.
Then just play every day.
Of course, these are just small-scale local battles and will not affect the situation of the war.
Qingyang Shuo suggested that at this time, a fire should be lit between the two princes.
Silver Beach City.
Qingyang Shuo, Liu Zheng, Jiang Xuan, Qin Changfeng, these army generals have gathered together to discuss this matter.
When they heard that they wanted to conquer Hanzhong, Jiang Xuan and Qin Changfeng were also very excited, and they felt a little geared up.
"Sir, how do you light a fire?"
Jiang Xuan asked.
Qingyang Shuo looked at Liu Zheng leisurely, with a smile in his eyes: "Now, there is a good opportunity, but according to the character of the young master, he will definitely not agree."
Liu Zheng looked confused.
Qingyang Shuo then smiled and took out a pile of red letters from behind.
"This is?"
Liu Zheng had a ridiculous premonition in his heart.
"Proposal for marriage!"
Qingyang Shuo couldn't bear it any longer and laughed and said: "Master, you know that now you are the most popular young talent in the Longyan Dynasty. In this dynasty, there are countless local vassal kings who come to propose marriage."
"Huh? Is there still such a thing?"
Liu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry.
Qingyang Shuo said: "This is the same as before. In a few days, I'm afraid it will be even more lively. With the title of Jiedu Envoy of the Western Region settled in Yinzhou, Beijing will definitely explode."
"I'm afraid that in a few days, even the princesses and princesses may come to propose marriage!"
Several people joked and laughed at the same time.
Liu Zheng grimaced: "Sir, please don't play tricks on me..."
However, as he listened, he felt something was wrong and his eyes widened: "Sir, what you mean is..."
Could it be that Qing Yangshuo wants to make a fuss about his marriage?
