Dengzhou, a large number of warships were towed here from Laizhou Bay.
The reason why it had to be towed from Laizhou Bay was that the main shipyards and military ports in the Tang Dynasty were not in Dengzhou, which was extremely important during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but in Laizhou.
Due to the shipbuilding technology at this time, Laizhou Bay, which is vast and has many safe harbors, is far more suitable for berthing warships than Dengzhou.
In addition, Laizhou Bay is backed by Laizhou and Qingzhou, and the hinterland has a developed economy and a large population. There are also rivers such as Zishui and Bailangshui, which can quickly and continuously transport inland materials.
Therefore, the base camps including shipbuilding and navy training are also in Laizhou Bay, which is mainly Laizhou. Only in wartime, warships will be sailed to Dengzhou for final preparations, and some will even set off directly from Laizhou.
Out of the importance of this cross-sea battle and to practice the navy's ability to go to sea, Zhang Yan personally ordered Pingzhang, the governor of Jiaodong Province, and King Qian Hongchu of Lu to go to Dengzhou to take command.
Of course, this is 100% "sit-in" command, because what Zhang Yan wants is Qian Hongchu's help in appeasing and motivating the 20,000 officers and soldiers who once mostly belonged to the Wuyue Navy and are now called the Forbidden Army Navy in Henghai Town.
The actual command power was in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the Eastern Expedition, and Chen Hui, the deputy commander.
Moreover, among the 20,000 people in Henghai Town, there were only 11,000 original Wuyue officers and soldiers, and the rest were composed of the Southern Tang Navy and the imperial court's Jiaodong Navy.
The biggest role of Qian Hongchu's appearance in Dengzhou is to show these old troops from Wuyue and Southern Tang Dynasty. I, Zhang Shengren, did not break my promise. I said that after the two countries donated their land, everyone will be a hero, that is, I am really being a hero. treat.
When these soldiers saw that after Qian Hongchu offered his soil, Wang Jue went one step further and could be sent to Dengzhou to regain control of the army. Most of their inner uneasiness and hesitation were immediately eliminated.
The king above is fine, and so will the soldiers. They can just rest assured that they will be rewarded for their meritorious service.
And Qian Hongchu soon understood what he should do after experiencing the blow of trying to guard Jiaodong.
This person is already very smart and capable. Last time he really thought he could become King Lu. That was because he had less experience in his youth. After the blow, he re-examined himself and immediately returned to his normal level.
These days, Qian Hongchu was in Dengzhou with his several hundred guardsmen, cheering up the generals everywhere. Everywhere he went, in the name of the imperial court, he rewarded the generals and sailors with a large amount of pigs, sheep, rice and noodles. .
Three dry meals a day, including white rice, flour and meat, made the soldiers, generals and sailors extremely satisfied and their morale was high.
But apart from this, Qian Hongchu didn't care about anything. He wouldn't put a finger on military layout, transfers, dismissals and promotions.
Moreover, Qian Hongchu smiled bitterly, the money for the pigs, sheep, rice and noodles he was given as rewards was not his.
How should I put it? Last time in Qizhou, he wanted to defeat a local snake. After both sides dug up a lot of dirty information and filed a lawsuit against him, he was immediately hit by a storm from the court.
He Qian Hongchu sacrificed a big country with three million people. Of course, nothing happened, but the locals in Jiaodong were unlucky.
After transferring An Shenqi, Zhang Yan was planning to deal with them and make excuses for them. Now that they don't know how to restrain themselves and dare to jump out, it's no wonder Zhang Yan is responsible.
People were not killed, because the population is now precious, so this time in Jiaodong, Zhang Zhi exiled more than 70,000 people to Hezhong, Liaodong, and southern Sichuan, raided more than 300 big dog houses, and confiscated more than one million guan of gold and silver.
The military expenses for this naval expedition were 'sponsored' by them. Moreover, Zhang Yan was very darkly humorous. Among the more than one million gold and silver confiscated, he selected 50,000 gold and sent it to Qian Hongchu.
Qian Hongchu rolled his eyes speechlessly in the Dengzhou office. His sworn brother, Emperor Zhang, was really disgusting.
Qian Hongchu didn't dare to keep this money, nor did he want to keep it. Thinking about it made him very upset.
So he followed Yuan Dezhao's suggestion and gave military supplies worth 30,000 gu to his eldest nephew Murong Nobunaga, and the remaining 20,000 gu were used to treat the officers and soldiers to eat and drink.
While sighing, Qian Hongchu glanced at Nan with sympathy and gloating.
I heard that local officials and wealthy families in the three provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Jiangbei jointly concealed their population and the number of acres of land. It seemed that there would be no shortage of military expenditures for the soon-to-be-conquered Lingnan Han Kingdom and Jing Haijun.
Zhao Kuangyin is twenty-three years old this year. This age is still young in later generations and he can definitely be called a boy.
But at this time, the 23-year-old Zhao Kuangyin was already a general with nine years of military service and four years of officer experience.
Moreover, his achievements were very brilliant, and he made great achievements in conquering Liu Zhiyuan, Ma Chu, and Hou Shu.
After arriving at Yueyang Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin quickly changed from an army general who was good at commanding infantry and cavalry to a naval general who could fly on warships and quickly figured out the combat routines in rivers and seas.
Who wouldn't love such an all-around player? If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't started a family too early, Zhang Yan would have wanted to give him a clan daughter.
And Zhao Kuangyin was also a little excited, because this time he was about to meet Murong Nobunaga.
You must know that Murong Nobunaga was Zhao Kuangyin's riding teacher. In the past, Zhao Kuangyin often followed this master in Tokyo, which left a very deep impression on the young him.
After that, Murong Nobunaga took Zhao Kuangyin to Liangzhou, before the Zhou army entered the Central Plains, and made him a member of the large circle of Helong Xunchen.
Without this incense relationship, Zhao Kuangyin would not have been able to climb so fast when the upper echelons of the army were dominated by Helong people.
Because to a certain extent, although Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang and his family was a warrior from the Central Plains, he himself was a member of the Helong Xunchen.
Chen Hui, who partnered with Zhao Kuangyin, was the most famous navy general in Zhangzhou at this time. His reputation was not well known in history. This was because the country in the Southern Tang Dynasty was too weak and did not have all the advantages in Jiangnan, which gave Chen Hui the advantages in naval warfare that he was good at. There is absolutely no way to perform,
In history books, Chen Huo often appears as Chen Tie, a fierce general who was as famous as Lin Renzhao during the Wang Min period.
This man came from a wealthy family in Jianzhou, and fought fiercely on land and even more fiercely on water. During the battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue for Fuzhou, he took advantage of the high tide to sail 700 miles overnight to attack the Wuyue navy and defeat it.
In the decisive battle of Shouzhou between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Tang army was almost completely wiped out outside the Purple Mountain. Only Chen Hui's two thousand victorious army entered and exited the strong enemy, repeatedly defeating the enemy. 'In the end, he escaped unscathed.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin still valued Chen Jiao's opinions. After all, although he learned quickly, he had never actually experienced a naval battle.
Looking at Zhang Zhou, the only one who could fight a naval battle and win was Chen Hui.
Because since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, there was no need to go to sea to fight enemies, and naval warfare began to decline rapidly. Even Southern Tang and Wu Yue did not have many navies, and even fewer naval warships.
When Zhao Kuangyin came to find Chen Hui, Chen Hui had just finished studying the nautical charts of the Tang Dynasty and roughly determined the position and departure route.
It is not a straight line to cross the sea from Dengzhou to conquer the Korean Peninsula because we do not yet have the ability.
The route that can be taken now is to start from Dengzhou and go slightly northwest to the vicinity of Dalian on the Liaodong Peninsula.
Then from Dalian to the northeast along the coastline, all the way through the Changshan Islands to the Yalu River estuary.
Finally, follow the coastline of the Korean Peninsula and go south to attack Pyongyang and the cities around Seoul.
This thing is said to be a sea ship engaged in naval battles, but in fact it is not even considered to be a yellow water navy. It is just a fleet that shuttles along the coastline.
But, everything is afraid of a comparison. Dazhou can still have a coastline fleet, Goryeo and Japan. Except for a few large ships, the rest are small sampans, which cannot be called a fleet at all.
When Chen Ji saw Zhao Kuangyin coming, he hurriedly greeted him. He showed the chart to Zhao Kuangyin, and then said in a deep voice:
"Although the King of Liaoyang requested that we set sail no later than April, a certain person just studied the nautical chart and summoned old fishermen from Denglai and other places to inquire and learned that the trade wind will most likely not arrive in March or April next year. , but it is possible to encounter cold winds coming from the north.
Therefore, my subordinates suggested that instead of sailing the large ships in the fleet to Suzhou across the sea now. "
The Suzhou mentioned by Chen Jie was not the Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, but the Suzhou established by the Liao Dynasty in Ganjingzi, Dalian today.
The building ship mentioned by Chen Hui was the most important warship of the naval fleet at this time, and its status was similar to the aircraft carrier of later navies.
Historical records show that in the Tang Dynasty, the building was built with three layers, more than 70 feet high, and a female wall. It looked like a city fortress.
This is a very large and towering warship. During the Battle of Baijiangkou, a large ship of the Tang Army sank dozens of Japanese ships, which shows its domineering power.
However, this type of building ship also has a fatal flaw at sea, that is, the hull is too high. In the Tang Dynasty, when navigation technology was not developed, if a storm suddenly encountered, it would often be overturned without human power, so the departure time was extremely important. weather conditions.
At this time, Zhang Zhou's economic situation was still far from that of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Zhang spent his own money to build four large ships in Laizhou Bay. If they were overturned without even fighting, then Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Hui would be guilty. Big.
That's why Chen Hui proposed at this time to take advantage of the lack of turmoil recently to sail all the building ships to Suzhou first.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the sea chart and thought for a while, then asked with some worry: "Although it is a good thing that there are no wind and waves in the near future, without the wind and waves, the sails cannot be used. How can the building ship be so large that it can cross the sea to Suzhou?"
Chen Hui pointed to a circle of small islands on the chart and said: "If we start from Dengzhou Military Port, it will be really difficult to reach the other side.
But now there are many sailors and yachts gathered in Dengzhou, and they can be rewarded heavily. They can be ordered to drag the building boat to the northernmost tip of Daxie Island. It will be much easier to cross the sea again. "
The northernmost point of Daxie Island in Chen Hui's mouth is actually the Daqin Island area of the Miao Island Islands off the coast of Dengzhou in later generations.
The shortest distance across the Bohai Bay from here is only more than 80 kilometers. Even if there is no wind to rely on, you can row across it.
But the price is much higher than waiting for the trade wind to come!
Rowing on the sea, or rowing in winter, jumping from island to island, is a very hard and dangerous job. If you don't give enough rewards, no one will do it.
However, Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and gritted his teeth and agreed, "I am going to request a letter from the Ministry of War and the Privy Council for the valuable goods. It is up to Chen Weng to lead the large ships across the sea."
In fact, this is one of Zhang Zhou's few advantages compared with the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the past.
Because during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Liaodong Peninsula was deserted, so even if you wanted to leapfrog, you couldn't.
But at this time of Zhang Zhou, after hundreds of years of continuous management by the Bohai and Khitan people, the Liaodong Peninsula was already slightly inhabited.
After the building boat crossed the sea, there was a military port to anchor and the government to supply food and grass, so this method and tactic could be implemented.
. . . .
Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Jie of Dengzhou had already decided to jump the boat across the sea first, but Zhao Yanjin of Mingzhou had to wait for the trade wind before setting off.
Zhang Gao specially promoted Zhao Yanjin from the post of governor of Yueyang Prefecture and supervisor of soldiers and horses of Yueyang Prefecture to Mingzhou, because he took a fancy to Zhao Yanjin's familiarity with water warfare.
He can also be regarded as the general who knows most about water warfare in Zhangzhou after Ma Zhaoyuan, Du Chixin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Chen Jie. In some aspects, Zhao Yanjin is even more proficient than Zhao Kuangyin.
At the same time, Zhao Yanjin was Zhang Yan's fifth son, and his status was enough to suppress Yao Yanhong, who had a family of 60,000 to 70,000 people. These people would be forced to go into exile in Korea and Japan, and they would not be mentally peaceful.
Zhao Yanjin had to do a lot of work to send these 60,000 to 70,000 people who were in panic to the other side of the sea with as little damage as possible.
It can even be said that Zhao Yanjin's dispatch of troops this time was auxiliary in military terms, because most naval battles will be resolved by Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Jie. Politically, how to arrange Yao Yanhong's 600,000 to 70,000 people is the most important.
. . . .
Bozhou, south of Qiao County, Dongyuan.
This is the family cemetery of the Cao family in Qiaojun. A large number of Cao family members in Qiaojun, including Cao Teng, the grandfather of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, are buried here.
When Zhang Yan went westward in the past, Cao Yijin presented him with elite soldiers and three thousand taels of silver. He also agreed with him that as long as Zhang Yan could find a way to lead the Guiyi army back to the country, Cao Yijin would fully support him.
Zhang Yan also promised at that time that if that day comes, he will carry Cao Yijin's coffin back to his hometown and be buried in the Cao family cemetery in Bozhou.
Although Cao Yijin had already lost his internal and external power due to serious illness when Zhang Gao came back, he still fulfilled his promise before his death and handed over most of the power of the Guiyi Army to Zhang Gao.
Especially in terms of legal theory, Cao Yijin believed that his country was about to overthrow and he had no choice but to take charge of the affairs of the Zhang family. Now that Zhang was established, he handed over the power.
This not only prevented the transfer of power from causing turmoil, but also restored legal principles.
Since Zhang Huaishen was killed, this was the first handover of power by the Guiyi Army without bloodshed, which is of great significance.
In fact, due to various reasons, Zhang Yan did not fully fulfill his promise to carry Cao Yijin's coffin from Dunhuang, but asked Cao Sanniang to take Zhang Xianyu to complete it.
When Cao Yijin's coffin arrived in Chang'an, Zhang Yan had dealt with all internal and external rebellions, and was finally able to fulfill his promise. He personally welcomed Cao Yijin's coffin from Chang'an in Luoyang, and then sent the coffin all the way back to Qiaojun, which is now Qiao County, Bozhou.
The tombs of the Cao family in Qiaojun in Dongyuan are not luxurious. After all, the real important figures of the Cao family, such as Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao and Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi, were not buried here.
Therefore, with Zhang Zhang's approval, Cao Yijin's mausoleum can be regarded as the most luxurious and tallest one here.
Zhang Gao specially approved that Cao Yijin's tomb should be built according to the king's regulations, and some places could be decorated with the emperor's pomp.
His mausoleum in Dongyuan was built with a mountain of earth, and the coffin was called Zi Palace.
There are shrines and temples outside, and there are palaces inside for the souls to live and eat, and the divine palace for entertainment and entertainment.
There are six niches in the four open courtyards, and there are pottery armored warriors and sixty palace attires.
There are a large number of murals painted on the front of the tomb passage, which describe Cao Yijin's life and the scene of ascending to heaven to enjoy his afterlife. There are two most important paintings among them.
The first picture is at the foot of Mingsha Mountain and by the Crescent Moon Spring. Zhang Yan, wearing golden armor, is bidding farewell to Cao Yijin, who is wearing a wide robe and long sleeves. In the distance, countless soldiers and horses are vaguely visible in the rising clouds and mist.
The other picture is in the Qingyuan Palace in Dunhuang. Cao Yijin is wearing plain clothes and a plain belt around his head. With the support of Cao Sanniang, he hands over power to Zhang Gao, who is wearing a fancy dress. The rest return to the rebel army, with different expressions. different.
This should be the first time since ancient times that the emperor was painted in the tomb murals of his subjects.
Although Zhang Yan's facial features were deliberately blurred, it is still a very shocking decision.
Outside the mountain mausoleum, most of the Shazhou Cao family gathered here. The local Bozhou Cao family, and even those from all over the country who claimed to be descendants of the Qiaojun Cao family, all gathered here.
After three cannons were fired, the emperor personally went to the front of the draft horse carrying Zi Palace and personally held the reins of the draft horse forward.
The surrounding Cao family members knelt in a circle. Brothers Cao Yuanshen and Cao Yuanzhong, one holds Cao Yijin's birthday and the other holds Cao Yijin's god.
On the right side of the shrine are written the names of Gu Zhong of the Tang Dynasty, Jiedu Envoy of the Guiyi Army, and Cao Tao, the governor of Shazhou, discussing the gold.
On the left is a letter written by the Taiwei of Zhou Dynasty, Kaifu Yitong and the Third Division, Hexi Jiedu Envoy, presenting a gift to the King of Wei, and asking King Qiao Cao to discuss gold.
Several elders from Cao's family in Qiao County, holding soul-calling flags, were on the carriage beside the Zi Palace, shouting, "The wanderer is returning home, the wanderer is returning home." '
Everyone in the audience burst into tears.
Zhang Yan was also very emotional. The agreement between Cao Yijin and him at the foot of Mingsha Mountain was still vivid in his mind, but now that he thought about it, Cao Yijin's death was already fourteen years ago.
And Zhang Yan has also changed from the young man who was determined to lead the last remaining Han people in the Hexi Corridor back to their motherland, to a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old.
In the past nineteen years, Zhang Gao has gone through hardships and dangers to fulfill the legacy of his ancestors, and did not let the Guiyi Army be submerged in the sand as it was in history.
Up to now, the big goal of returning to the country with loyalty has been achieved, but there is still a lot missing from the other goal of reviving the dynasty.
Goryeo was not defeated, the Japanese kingdom was not destroyed, the Southern Han Dynasty was still lingering in Lingnan, the Jinghai navy was not recovered, and the Duan family, who was a master of the navy, was still sitting on the dream of inheriting Nanzhao.
By the way, Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that Tong Haijun and Duan clan also sent an envoy to Tokyo.
Before that, all the secret notes of Guo Rong and Zhang Fei were brought over by their eldest son Zhang Xiancun.
Zhang Gao looked at Cao Yi Jinzi Palace who was slowly entering the mausoleum through the tomb passage, and solemnly raised his hand, which was regarded as sending his cousin uncle and father-in-law off for the last time.
With the burial of Cao Yijin and the tombs of Zhang Zhan's father Zhang Chengfeng and grandfather Zhang Huaiding, they were moved to the vicinity of Zhang Yichao's mountain mausoleum.
The entire history of the Guiyi Army's lonely defense of Hexi came to an end.
"I can't stay here any longer. The queen will stay in Qiao County for me for a little longer. The funeral must be arranged well. Don't be afraid of spending money. I have ordered the inner government to send 20,000 yuan."
As a monarch, Zhang Zhang naturally could not participate too much in the funerals of his ministers, so naturally he had to let Queen Cao Jiuniang, the granddaughter of Cao Yijin, take his place.
After walking a few steps, Zhang Hao turned back to look at Nineteenth Niang, "Let's just order a single word for the posthumous name of the Duke, and the posthumous title will be finalized."
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, posthumous titles began to proliferate. Seven-character and nine-character titles were common. But Zhang Zhou was in the name of restoring Zhou Rites. This restraint on posthumous titles was naturally a great symbol of restoring Zhou Rites.
Therefore, in Zhang Zhou, posthumous titles for the emperor and his ministers were mostly limited to two characters.
One-word posthumous titles are only used on those vassal lords who have made great contributions to the country and also had real power during their lifetimes. For example, Qian Hongchu and Gao Baorong now have a high probability of receiving single-word posthumous titles.
Zhang Yan now allows Cao Yijin to use a single-character posthumous title. In fact, he is acknowledging Cao Yijin's half-king attributes.
As for the posthumous title of "Cheng", it is even more important. It is said to be "Cheng" to stabilize the people and establish the government. This is Zhang Yan's recognition of Cao Yijin's contribution to replacing the Zhang family and stabilizing the rebel army.
"Concubine, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your magnanimity!" Not only the Cao family members knelt down, but even Queen Nineteenth Niang also knelt down and thanked her uncharacteristically.
No matter how peaceful the word Cao's replacement for Zhang was, it was also a coup, and it was a thorn in the heart of the Cao family. Now Zhang Yan had pulled it out with his own hands.
. . . .
Zhang Xiancun is stronger than he was three years ago. He is already seventeen and about to be eighteen this year, and he will soon be a father. This time, Princess Yong'an, who is four months pregnant, is rushing back with him.
"In my opinion, what is the purpose of the Duan clan's envoy coming here this time?" Zhang Gao asked Zhang Xiancun who was following him with a smile.
Zhang Xiancun was obviously well prepared, and he replied loudly: "I thought that the Duan family, with Dong Maha, the nephew of Dong Jialuo, the Qingping official (prime minister), as the envoy, should have come with anger."
"Angry? Who gave them the courage to be angry? Is Duan Siliang crazy?" Zhang Xiancun was stunned when he heard Zhang Xiancun's words.
The Duan family in Dali lives in a corner. Thirty years ago, even the former Shu King Jian could intimidate them. Now that the Central Plains are unified, if they don't kneel down and lick them quickly, how dare they be angry?
Zhang Xiancun chuckled, "Sir, have you forgotten? Zhang Fei gave Guo Rong a warning, asking us to show weakness in Nanxi Mansion and Luzhou Mansion."
Zhang Yan remembered that Guo Rong had reported several times about Dali Kingdom.
The core operation was to use Han salt, sugar, tea and cloth to lure the tribes who surrendered to the Dali Kingdom to seek refuge, while at the same time building fortresses everywhere, as if they were afraid of Dali's attack.
On weekdays, when encountering provocations from Dali soldiers, they often avoided them. Even when Dali sent troops to attack tribes that had surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty after receiving the benefits, they mostly focused on persuasion and did not dare to use force.
"Tell me, how is the pride plan going now?"
Zhang Yan was very interested. It seemed that Zhang Fei, a shrewd cripple, was a good match for Guo Rong. Zhou Shizong, who had a hot temper in history, actually started to use tricks.
"The heat is almost over. Although I and others in Nanxi Mansion have recruited dozens of tribes from the surrounding Xidong tribes, they are all just coveting our cloth, salt and refined sugar. They secretly think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they are not really surrendering. .
With their word-of-mouth and examples, everyone in Dali thought that I was too weak to provoke, and did not take Governor Guo's construction of Nanxi Fucheng seriously at all.
The Jinyi personal guards came from Yangju City. Duan Siliang thought that our army was still trapped in the Western Region and Liaodong. In order to eliminate the negative effects of usurping the throne and secure his position, he had already dreamed of capturing Nanxi Prefecture (Yibin).
As long as Dong Mohe returns this time, the whole country of Dali will be extremely arrogant and even fantasize about being able to attack Chengdu. "
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes, "If this is the case, you should not let this envoy leave Chengdu!"
What I, Zhang Shengren, mean is how much losses Chengdu suffered in the battle to destroy Shu due to Meng Chang's surrender.
If Dong Mohe were allowed to see the prosperity of Chengdu, he would definitely be wary of the weak image Guo Rong displayed in Nanxi Mansion.
Zhang Xiancun gave a thief smile, "If Dong Mohe is not allowed to see Chengdu, how could he give up?
However, as early as half a year ago, the uncle of the Yin family had ordered the wealthy households in the four prefectures around Chengdu not to engage in grand ostentation, banquets, socializing, etc. Officials and their families were not allowed to wear silk brocade, and all the elite guardsmen were transferred to Lizhou ( Guangyuan), Langzhou and other places.
All merchants entering and exiting Chengdu Prefecture must bypass Pengzhou and enter Chengdu Prefecture from the north.
Merchants going to Dali Kingdom have been strictly censored a year ago. Those who are closely related to Dali's wealthy families can basically only trade in Ya'an Prefecture and Jiazhou (Leshan).
So what Dong Mohe saw along the way was Shuzhong, where the people were many but poor, merchants were few, and the soldiers were short and thin.
And recently, he saw another completely different prosperous scene in Chang'an.
Combined with the weak image of Governor Guo Rongguo in Nanxi Mansion, it is not difficult for Dong Mohe to imagine that the court does not trust the Shu people and is trying to squeeze them out, and the Shu people miss the Meng family of Shu kings. "
Zhang Gao laughed three times and said, "Then I also want to put on a show to make the envoy of the Duan clan think that the imperial court is suffering from internal and external troubles and only wants to stabilize the situation."
As he spoke, Zhang Yan called Zhang Lieming over and said, "The envoys from Han are coming too. Go and make arrangements so that the envoys from Dali and Han know each other's existence, and then make a small mistake to let them know about each other's existence." When setting up a line, remember, you have to be smart.”
Zhang Gao tightened the belt around his waist, and now he could officially plan to attack Southern Han and Dali when the news of Murong Nobunaga's victory in the conquest of Goryeo came.
Before that, preparations had to be made for the unfavorable outcome of Murong Nobunaga's expedition. After all, Goryeo was also a large country in the east of the sea. If the Eastern Expedition was unfavorable, they would have to mobilize large armies from the country to fight.
Coo coo coo! According to the vivid description given by my boss this morning, I was carried home by my colleagues. The tiger was already a bit chubby and almost exhausted the three big men. I guess not many people will ask me to drink in the future. .
