"Murong Xin went to Jiangdong and asked for the title of Prince of Liaodong. The monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong have already agreed. Moreover, because Princess Linhai suddenly fell ill on the way, Jiangdong also plans to select another clan daughter to marry Murong."
Wang Daosu immediately told everything he knew about the situation.
Since Cui Ao, the original Dongyi captain of the Jin Dynasty, was driven away, the Murong family had complete control over the situation in Liaodong County.
Moreover, Murong Xuan and his son can be said to be a line of strong men, and Duan Bu and Yu Wenbu did not benefit from frequent provocations.
As for Goguryeo to the east, they accepted the fleeing Cui Ao but refused to surrender to the Murong clan. Murong Xin sent troops to attack Wandu, the capital of Goguryeo. Tens of thousands of Goguryeo people were killed and plundered.
"Murong Xianbei's recruitment of traitors has become a scourge in Liaodong. I have long wanted to eradicate them. If Dao Su's plan succeeds, I will definitely reward the founder of the country."
Liu Yu was most afraid of Murong Xianbei.
The current leader of Murong Xianbei is Murong Xin. Although this old man is relatively old, judging from the average age at this time, there is no big danger.
However, his two sons are both outstanding talents.
Among them, his eldest son was Murong Han, and his second son Murong Huang were both the founders of Qianyan in history.
"Your Majesty, if Murong Xianbei wants to go to Jiangdong, he must take the waterway. When the time comes, I will inform them of their route. Your Majesty can let the navy intercept them halfway, and then there will be civil strife in Liaodong." Wang Daosu said.
"That's all?" After Liu Yu heard this, was it just such a little strategy? It really feels unreliable.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this strategy is simple, it will definitely work." Wang Daosu said, patting his chest.
"The monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong have made plans to attack Murong Xianbei. They have selected a daughter of the clan to marry, and Murong Xin has also expressed that he will go to Jiangdong in person to ask for the title."
"Murong Xianbei has just occupied a large area of land and population in Goguryeo, including many immigrants from the Jin Dynasty. Murong Xianbei urgently needs the weight of Jiangdong so that he can legitimately replace Goguryeo and lead these tribesmen."
Liu Yu was a little surprised when he heard this.
"What, Murong Xuan went to Jiangdong in person? His son is getting married, what am I going to do?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. The person the Jiangdong clan daughter wants to marry is Murong Xin, not his son." Wang Daosu said.
Liu Yu immediately became speechless.
"I heard that Murong Xindu is almost fifty years old. Will he marry the daughter of the clan?"
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with marrying Murong Xuan." Wang Daosu said.
"Ever since Princess Linhai died of an inexplicable illness while traveling to Youzhou last year, Murong Xin's son has already gotten married. When Jiangdong was about to get married, Murong Xin personally said that he was strong and strong, so he agreed."
"Okay, it seems like this should be feasible."
Liu Yu thought to himself that it seemed that he was to blame for this matter.
Last year, the Jiangdong Jin Dynasty wanted to marry Murong Xianbei, but they were intercepted by their own people in Youzhou.
Princess Linhai of the Jin Dynasty, who was also the former Princess Qinghe, was replaced by a subcontracting scheme. She just told Murong Xianbei, who was waiting to welcome her, that she had died of illness, and then she was hastily buried.
In fact, the current Princess Linhai is staying in Liu Yu's Yecheng.
Although Liu Yu's original intention was to destroy the Jin Dynasty's plan to win over the Murong family, he also somewhat hoped for her beauty.
"If Murong Xuan can be intercepted and killed, the Murong clan in Liaodong will definitely be in chaos. Except for Murong Xuan's concubine who is older, the other sons are all in their teens. They are neither able to take power nor willing to submit to Murong Xuan."
"They must not be subordinate to each other. At that time, His Majesty can send troops to attack. I will contact Goguryeo Yifuli and ask him to send troops to attack from behind. Within a few months, Liaodong will be defeated."
Wang Daosu's strategy is actually not difficult.
The key point was that he agreed to cross the sea to Jiangdong with Murong Xin, who could not move easily.
If Murong Xin didn't have this plan, this strategy would have no effect.
"Is Murong Xin really going to Jiangdong?" Liu Yu confirmed again.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this matter is absolutely true."
"Okay, let's try your strategy."
=·=·=·=·
Chang'an.
After a heavy snowfall, the streets of Chang'an were covered with white snow, and a long caravan slowly entered Chang'an City from outside the city gate.
For Chang'an City, which has experienced many wars, it has been a long time since it saw such a large-scale caravan.
Pedestrians on both sides of the road were breathing heavily and talking to each other out of curiosity.
"Where do these many pack horses come from?"
"Needless to say, it must be from the west."
"West?"
"You don't know this? Liangzhou is to the west." A man said in surprise.
Obviously, he felt that it was the most normal thing to have Liangzhou to the west of Chang'an.
"Hey, brother, don't laugh at me. I'm from Guandong. I really don't know this."
"Oh, so that's it." When the man heard that the other party was from Guandong, he stopped showing off his 'knowledge'.
After all, these new residents from Guandong are either officers and soldiers stationed by the imperial court or soldiers who came to colonize the area. They are generally not ordinary residents anyway.
"So many camels and horses were only seen more than ten years ago. It seems that the peaceful days of Chang'an are about to begin again."
The man couldn't help but sigh.
The pack horses of the Liangzhou caravan extended from the street to the outside of the city, and soon the whole street became lively.
Residents on both sides of the street flocked to the street to see these strange sights.
Some elderly people can still recall some past meetings about such scenes.
As for some young teenagers, they all saw it once and were full of curiosity and freshness.
Looking at the crowds of people on both sides of the street, Zhang Jun, who was leading the caravan at the front, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He asked in a low voice to the officials in Chang'an City next to him.
"Is it really okay to act so openly?"
The official heard the words and immediately replied.
"Don't worry, Chang Shi. Liu Shijun personally ordered this matter. It's just to make a big splash. Chang'an City has not had any decent business travel for more than ten years. This time, the Liangzhou caravan has entered the city on such a large scale. It's to spread the news. For the people of Guanzhong, the Holy Dynasty should not only develop culture and martial arts, but also promote agriculture and commerce."
Zhang Jun felt a little awkward when he heard this set of remarks.
Since Qin Shihuang unified the world, all dynasties have focused on agriculture and suppressed business. Merchants have never been given any privileges, except those who are powerful and powerful.
As for ordinary traders, they are often made difficult for various reasons. Even when there is a war on the border and cannon fodder is needed, priority will be given to forcing traders to act as cannon fodder.
First of all, Zhang Jun had never thought about giving Liangzhou Business Travel a face.
After this group of merchants entered the city in great force, Liu Yan, the newly appointed governor of Yongzhou, had already hosted a banquet for Zhang Jun in his mansion.
After the guests and hosts took their seats, Liu Yan, the governor of Yongzhou, asked immediately.
"Brother Zhang has come all the way and brought so much goods with him. It's really hard work."
"I dare not say it was hard work. I was just following Zhang Liangzhou's order." Zhang Jun said.
The goods Zhang Jun brought from Liangzhou this time, in addition to the usual gold, silver, furs, medicinal materials, spices, etc., the largest number were all kinds of strange things plundered from Liangzhou.
Although these things were all collected from Liangzhou, most of them were produced in the Western Regions.
But whether it's for humans or horses, it's enough for the portion.
"Your Majesty has already ordered me to wait for Brother Zhang in Chang'an. If Brother Zhang brings good horses from the Western Regions, then I will hand over the map of the Western Regions to you. If the number of good horses is not enough, you can only wait for the next time. ”
Liu Yan said.
After the emperor sent someone to give him the map, Liu Yan once quietly looked at the map of the Western Regions.
However, the map style was really different from the current one. They were all dots and circles, which made Liu Yan confused.
What Liu Yan didn't know was that this projection-style map was specially prepared by Liu Yu for the Zhang family in Liangzhou.
The purpose is to be mysterious.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, the wealth of the Western Regions has been known to the Central Plains.
Especially for Zhang Shi from Liangzhou, today's needs are even more important to him.
Although the war in the northern part of the Central Plains is gradually disappearing, in the future the Han and Jin Dynasties in the north and south will inevitably fight to the death.
At that time, no matter which side the Liangzhou Zhang family takes, or if they set up their own business, they will have to build up a large amount of military equipment.
And these all cost money, and the four counties of Liangzhou alone cannot afford them.
The Western Region must be firmly controlled in order to have a steady flow of money.
The simple map of the Western Regions that Zhang Jun brought back gave Zhang Shi a strong sense of hope.
It turns out that in addition to the Central Plains, there are so many vast lands that are equally fertile and rich, so Zhang Shi doesn't have to stick to a corner of Liangzhou.
However, these are all too far after all.
Zhang Shi actually wanted to use this as an excuse to get everyone in Liangzhou to agree to a good relationship with Liu Yu.
Although he felt the kindness of being promoted to the imperial family, he knew very well in his heart that Liu Yu's Han army was killing everyone, so it was better to curry favor with him.
"Rest assured, I have brought thousands of horses this time, and they are all top-notch BMW horses." Zhang Jun said confidently.
When Liu Yan heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he wished he could go see those BMW horses right away.
For Liangzhou, thousands of horses are not a problem at all. As long as Zhang Shi, the governor of Liangzhou, orders, only four counties can get them together.
If we wait until later to quell the rebellion in the Chang Shi Mansion of the Western Regions, it will be trivial for thousands of people.
The Liu family in Zhongshan and the Zhang family in Anding were both well-known families. Naturally, Liu Yan and Zhang Jun were very congenial, and the two were soon drinking and enjoying themselves.
At this time, Liu Yan, the governor of Yongzhou who was already slightly tipsy, asked Zhang Jun.
"Brother Zhang, I heard that Zhang Liangzhou is recruiting troops in Guzang to prepare for a crusade against the rebellion in the west?"
"Yes, Qiuci and Khotan are in trouble again, and my brother really wants to send troops to eradicate them."
"Then if I send 10,000 soldiers and horses to Liangzhou to help you, is it okay?" Liu Yan said.
When Zhang Jun heard this, he was immediately startled. The hand holding the wine glass trembled and half of the drink was lost.
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses?"
"Yes, it's just ten thousand troops. Do you, Liangzhou, want it?" Liu Yan stared at him and said.
Zhang Jun took another breath of cold air.
These 10,000 soldiers and horses are quite a lot.
Since ancient times, population and soldiers have been the most important asset of the country. How could Liu Yan give it away like this?
