The troops will disperse, leaving only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the hall.
Liu Bei slowly stood up from his seat and sat on his knees for a long time. The blood circulation in his legs and feet was not smooth, and they were actually a little numb. When he stood up, his posture was a bit weird.
"Kong Ming, you and Gu are on the same page. Is there really no possibility of breaking through Chang'an this year?"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, saluted Liu Bei, and said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to plan Guanzhong this year. There is insufficient food and grass, the army has not been mobilized, and the king is in Hanzhong, Guanzhong is carefully guarded, and there are 100,000 Wei troops. It’s not that easy to deal with.”
Liu Bei came to Guanzhong to attract the attention of Wei.
Has the goal been achieved?
Reached!
King Wei Cao Cao did not dare to use the troops in Guanzhong to rush to Jingzhou for reinforcements, but Zhong Yao, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen and others gathered Qiang and Di troops. Within a month, the number reached 100,000!
Although these 100,000 people are not elites, they are still human beings even if they are not elites!
As long as they don't go out to fight in the field and only defend the city, these 100,000 troops will be enough for the Han army to eat.
Although Liu Bei arrived in Hanzhong, only 10,000 soldiers came.
The rest are all soldiers stationed in the field.
After all, the people of Hanzhong were all dragged to Guanzhong by Cao Cao.
Most of the Hanzhong people who came now were barbarians from Nanzhong, and a small number were Yizhou Han people who were attracted by Hanzhong's farmland policy.
Now the rations of these people have to be transferred to Yizhou.
fight?
Where can we afford to fight now?
"Alas~"
Liu Bei sighed and could only nod.
"In that case, let's just return it to Chengdu."
Now that people are in Hanzhong, they unconsciously want to attack Guanzhong.
Unfortunately, the Han army does not yet have this ability.
Since I can’t fight, it’s better to go home and celebrate the New Year.
If we go back now, we can still make it in time.
Thinking of Mrs. Wu's appearance, Liu Bei, who was originally a little depressed, started to feel invincible.
Zhuge Liang shook his head without thinking, and said: "Wei is in chaos. If the king withdraws his troops, I am afraid it will give Cao Pi a chance to breathe. He should continue to garrison in Hanzhong to suppress Wei."
As long as Liu Bei is in Hanzhong, Wei Guanzhong will not dare to relax his vigilance.
There are 100,000 soldiers in Guanzhong. Don’t these 100,000 people not need to eat or drink?
No matter how strong your Wei family is, you can't bear the number of soldiers under your command!
Without a war, these 100,000 people could eat up a mountain of gold!
With Liu Bei in Hanzhong, the soldiers in Guanzhong did not dare to go to Luoyang.
Cao Pi and the tyrants from Qingxu Land still have moves to overcome!
You can't fight, you can't walk!
Liu Bei sighed and said, "Then I am just staying in Hanzhong with nothing to do?"
He, Liu Bei, is someone who can't take time off.
In Chengdu, although he was tired of being with Mrs. Wu every night, it was not that he was not doing anything.
Receive officials, understand the situation in Yizhou, and cultivate reserve talents.
These are all things that can be done.
What about in Hanzhong?
How can there be any ministers who can receive him, and how many talents are worthy of his training?
Especially Mrs. Wu
Not here.
"How can the king be idle?"
Zhuge Liang roughly understood Liu Bei's needs. He said: "Hanzhong is now in ruins. There are too many things that the king can do. In Guanzhong and Longyou, many generals and nobles are guarding the city." If you are willing to surrender, your Majesty will communicate with you. If you can solve the problem of food and grass, you might as well go to the three counties of Longyou first and then seek the land in Guanzhong."
It seems that my own king also needs coaxing.
"That's fine."
He patted his sleeves and said, "Just stay in Guanzhong and wait for Wei Guosheng to change."
If Cao Pi improperly handles the powerful Qingxu land and Cao Zhang who goes to "King Qin", causing civil strife in Wei, then
It's not like he has no chance in Hanzhong!
Don't you have enough troops?
Can't they be surrendered?
Now the signature of Liu Bei, the King of Hanzhong, is very bright!
"It's a pity that I couldn't meet my son."
Liu Chan parted ways from Chengdu and now went to Jingzhou. We haven't seen each other for several months.
There were many things that he wanted to talk to Liu Chan about.
There were many things that he wanted to ask carefully.
For example.
When did your kid become so powerful?
As soon as he went to Jingzhou, he did all the things that Liu Bei failed to do?
besides
Are you my biological child?
I, Liu Xuande, have never been a womanizer in my life.
What about your kid?
Even Cao Pi’s wife Zhen Mi accepted it!
Will we still have Big Joe next time?
I, Liu Bei, am a gentleman and not a good woman.
It turns out you kid!
My favorite is a married woman!
If he hadn't watched your boy grow up, Liu Bei would have thought that his son was no longer Liu Chan, but Cao Chan.
"Ah, cut~"
Nanyang.
Wancheng.
Liu Chan sneezed inexplicably.
Could it be that some beauty is thinking of me?
Liu Chan shook his head. On the side, Zhen Mi stepped forward with a concerned look on his face.
"Your Highness, did you catch a cold last night?"
"I'm fine."
Liu Chan smiled softly, looked at Xu Shu in front of him, and asked, "Have all the noble clans in Nanyang joined the merchant alliance?"
Xu Shu lowered his head and did not look directly at Liu Chan.
certainly
Mainly because I didn't dare to see Zhen Mi.
When I met Zhen Mi before, I was still in Yecheng.
At that time, Zhen Mi was still Cao Pi's wife. Unexpectedly, he would come to Jingzhou now, and Zhen Mi would also come to Jingzhou.
I looked up to see him, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Ninety percent of the nobles have joined the Merchant Alliance. This is the number of land, tenants, and Zhuangwei tribes reported by the nobles who have joined the Merchant Alliance."
A maid had already come forward and carried a thick stack of forms to Liu Chan's case.
Liu Chan opened the form and started reading slowly.
Xu Shu was not in a hurry, just drank hot wine and waited for Liu Chan's instructions.
Woohoo~
The winter wind howled outside the hall, and heavy snow fell like goose feathers from the sky.
Today's style is extraordinarily heavy, and the snow is also extraordinarily heavy.
But on a bitterly cold day, Xu Shu felt warm in her heart.
Not only because of the hot wine to warm up, but also because of the business alliance, he can finally show off his talents.
If the business alliance can be steadily advanced, Nanyang will be stable, and if Nanyang is stable, Jingzhou will also be stable!
You can even raise military expenses and military rations through this business alliance.
On the surface it is a business alliance, but in addition to this business alliance, there is also the word "king".
This is royal business!
"The number of nobles who have joined the Merchant Alliance is quite reasonable."
Liu Chan first looked at the lists of the main noble clans, and found that there was not much difference between the information collected by Military Secretary Jian.
It seems that most people are quite obedient.
Liu Chan took up the general list and took a look.
Good guy!
After the aristocratic family joined the Merchant Alliance, the original number of registered people in Nanyang was only over 600,000.
As a result, adding the number of tenants and tribes in this list, it directly became 800,000 people.
The Nanyang nobles actually hid 200,000 people?
Liu Chan can only be described as terrifying!
This is true in Nanyang, and it is even more true in the world.
If all the hidden people of the aristocratic families could be released, why would the imperial court worry about having no taxes to collect?
