Han Dao world

Guan Yu snorted, but did not speak.

He also knew that without the cover of the Archery Battalion, especially without Tai Shici's amazing archery skills that almost never miss, the difficulties he would face would increase several times, and he might even be unable to break through head-on at all.

Being able to attack successfully, Tai Shici is a well-deserved first achievement.

But he just couldn't swallow it.

The tiger's mouth snatches food, and it happens again and again.

While speaking, Tai Shici strode over, laughing loudly.

"Yun Chang, this time we can settle the matter."

"Clear, clear." Guan Yu waved his hand impatiently. "Take my credit next time, don't blame me for turning my face."

Xu Huang was puzzled.Look at Guan Yu, then at Taishi Ci. "What cleared?"

Tai Shici said: "When Kong Wenju was besieged by the yellow scarf, I was ordered to ask Liu Xuande to rescue him. Yun Chang also came with Liu Xuande and broke the yellow scarf. I also paid Kong Wenju's favor. I always keep this debt in my heart, and I dare not forget."

"I've said it all, you don't owe me favors, and you don't have to pay them back."

"You don't want to repay your kindness, but I have to repay it." Tai Shici laughed. "In the past, I only knew that Yun Changzhen was able to kill Wen Chou, and he was very good at cavalry combat. I didn't expect that he was so strong in foot combat. It seems that when the emperor transferred you to join the Northern Army, it must have been very embarrassing."

Guan Yu turned his anger into joy, and stroked his beard triumphantly.

The three talked and laughed a few words, then split up and took control of the city defense.

When Shi Sun Rui entered the city, the city had already returned to calm.The battle flag of the Yizhou Army was torn down, and the battle flag of the Northern Army was flying high.Crowds of captives knelt quietly by the side of the road, waiting for the verdict of fate.

Shi Sunrui climbed to the top of the city, looked around, and said with emotion: "The younger generation is awesome, the younger generation is awesome."

Infantry Captain Wei Jie stroked his beard, feeling a little unwilling. "Jun Rong, after this battle, Chengdu is at your fingertips. You go back to pay homage to Gongqing, and I also want to disarm and return to the fields. I am under too much pressure to fight with these young people."

Shi Sun Rui laughed loudly and patted Wei Jie on the shoulder. "It's a good thing that my big heroes come out in large numbers. Even if you really want to disarm and return to the fields, with these young people, you can sleep peacefully. You don't have to worry about going into battle again one day and becoming Feng's wife again."

Chapter 1045

Wei Jie was silent for a moment and lowered his voice. "After Yizhou is pacified, the emperor will go west, right? With so many good generals and warriors, they can't all be idle."

Shi Sunrui turned his head to look at Wei Jie and smiled slightly. "Are you against the Western Expedition?"

Wei Jie was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not true, I'm just worried about being too hasty..."

Sun Rui raised his hand and interrupted Wei Jie. "In your opinion, the Son of Heaven is impatient?"

Wei Jie was dumbfounded, staring at Shi Sun Rui for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Jun Rong, do you believe in the Son of Heaven, or are you looking for reasons for yourself?"

Shi Sunrui made a faint sound and could only say breath. "No one can guarantee what will happen in the future. If you want to go west and conquer thousands of miles, there will be no setbacks and it is impossible. But you and I have witnessed what the emperor has done since he ascended the throne. I dare not say anything else. He is not a Those who are eager for quick success can be determined."

Wei Jie nodded in agreement. "That's true. Although the Son of Heaven is young, he is born mature. To be able to escape from the hands of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others, and complete a fatal blow, is indeed tolerable."

"It is difficult to be able to endure Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, but there are many people who can do it. To be able to tolerate the scholar-officials is the true heart of the emperor."

Shi Sunrui walked forward slowly along the city wall with his hands behind his back. "Introduce Confucian scholars into the barracks, educate the soldiers, and make the tigers and wolves the hearts of the court's minions. Discuss in the Taixue, use the mansion as an invisible platform, so that the soldiers can argue for themselves, and the reason is self-evident. Isn't this method better than the party's prison hundred times?"

Wei Jie followed and sighed.

Shi Sunrui is right. Although the Son of Heaven is young, he is a British Lord who is far-sighted and steady at every step.In just a few years, he has solved most of the big man's serious illness, completely reversed the decline, and transformed the big man from the setting sun to the east.

A few years ago, who would have thought that they would discuss the emperor's westward expedition today?

He is not opposed to the emperor's westward expedition, but worried that the emperor is too anxious.If the emperor can take it slowly, not only will he not oppose it, but he will firmly support it, and he can even go into battle in person.

Expansion of territory is the dream of every warrior.

He just didn't want the emperor to resort to military force and destroy the peace that was so hard-won.

There is no fundamental difference between the monarch and his ministers, and his worries are just unfounded.

The emperor is more powerful and organized than him.

-

Take the Tianxian Jiange, and the hinterland of Yizhou will be opened.

Shi Sunrui was not in a hurry to march. While sending out the good news, he summoned the Guanghan prefect and ordered to save the fields.

As soon as Zhao Gui, the prefect, showed a little hesitation, Shi Sunrui lowered his face and announced that Zhao Gui would be dismissed on the spot, and Yan Pu would take over temporarily and preside over Dutian.

Yan Pu is a native of Berkshire, in his prime of life, and was originally an official under Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong.When Shi Sun Rui was stationed in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu sent him to discuss related matters with Shi Sun Rui. Shi Sun Rui took a fancy to his wit and took him with him as a military adviser.

The choice to attack Jiange by force this time was Yan Pu's initiative.

Yan Pu said that the Jiange is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of this, winning the Jiange will be more shocking to the people of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang felt that the Jiange was a natural danger, so he didn't arrange for famous generals to guard it, and his troops were limited. Facing the Northern Army, he seemed to be capable of fighting, but in fact it was far from it, and the natural danger could not make up for it.

As Yan Pu expected, the northern army took the Jiange, and Guanghan surrendered because of this.

In order to reward his meritorious service, scholar Sun Rui asked Yan Pu to act as the prefect of Guanghan.

With his current status, this proxy is basically equivalent to an appointment, which means that Yan Pu has jumped from an official in the Hanzhong prefect's mansion to two thousand stones.

This kind of promotion shocked everyone, even Yan Pu himself was stunned and did not dare to accept it.

Shi Sunrui comforted him and said, I am just giving you a chance, whether you can secure this position is up to you.

Yan Pu was very grateful, and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he would desperately seize it no matter what.

He immediately called together the big households in the county, took out the residence newspaper borrowed from Shisun Rui, and took Guanzhong as an example to explain the purpose, benefits, and future prospects of the imperial court's land saving.You will have some losses now, but these losses will be rewarded soon, and they will be richly rewarded.

All in all, Dutian is a must.You support, then develop together.If you don't support it, you will die.

In the face of Yan Pu's coercion and temptation, the aristocratic and powerful families in Guanghan all accepted the condition of saving the land.

With [-] northern troops watching, who dares to say no?

In return, Shi Sun Rui selected some people from the Shi family who supported Du Tian to enter the shogunate and serve as military advisers.

Among them was Qin Mi.

Qin Mi is a native of Mianzhu, Guanghan. He is erudite and eloquent.As soon as I met Shi Sunrui, I was going to discuss with him the pros and cons of farming.

Shi Sun Rui is not so interested.

He told Qin Mi that Dutian was promoted by the emperor. If you really want to understand Dutian, you can discuss it with the emperor face to face instead of babbling with me.Paperwork is a waste of time.

So Qin Mi set off to Nanyang.

-

Liu Xie received the victory report documents from Zhang Ji and Shi Sun Rui almost at the same time.

Knowing that the east gate and north gate of Yizhou were opened at the same time, Liu Xie was very satisfied.After carefully reading their military reports and reviewing the battle, he was even more satisfied.

As he expected, these two victories were not only victories on the battlefield, but also proof that the military reform had achieved initial results.

Those who have permanent property have perseverance.Du Tian's impact on the morale of the army cannot be underestimated, and years of enlightenment have finally paid off. They have initially possessed the spirit and combat effectiveness of an elite division.

One day, they may become real soldiers.

At that point, the future of Chinese civilization will be stable.

Liu Xie invited Yang Biao to discuss the next battle arrangements with him.

Knowing that the two armies had won at the same time, Yang Biao also breathed a sigh of relief.After thinking for a while, he asked Liu Xie how he planned to arrange Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is a somewhat special Xiliang general.

In essence, he, like Li Jue and Guo Si, is an old member of Dong Zhuo.Including his hussar general, they were all awarded during Li Jue's turmoil.The reason why he can live up to now, instead of being like Li Jue and Guo Si, is because he was stopped by Duan Yan, and he didn't have a way to go to the dark.

Now that the world is about to be settled, it's time to deal with him.

Resolving him does not mean killing him, but removing his military power and eliminating hidden dangers.

Now is an opportunity to be promoted to the title on the grounds of rewarding Yizhou's military exploits, and then withdraw him from the battlefield.

Above the general hussars is the general, and Zhang Ji has very limited room for advancement.If you don't withdraw from the battlefield now, if you do meritorious service in the future, how to award rewards is a big problem.

Liu Xie actually knew what Yang Biao was most worried about, but he couldn't deny that rewarding Zhang Ji was a very tricky matter.

It is estimated that no one will be happy to promote Zhang Ji to the rank of general, except Zhang Ji himself.

But at this moment, Zhang Ji was withdrawn from the battlefield, and he was obviously suspected of making way for Shi Sun Rui.When it comes to this issue, whether the Xiliang general who was originally unwilling to promote Zhang Ji will have an idea is a question he must consider now.

Chapter 1046

Liu Xie asked Yang Biao, how to make Zhang Ji happy, and other Xiliang people would also be satisfied, and would not feel that the process was deliberately crowding out Xiliang people?

Yang Biao said that this is simple, slow down the speed of advancement, save the fields on the spot, and force Yizhou to submit.

Today's Yizhou is open, and military conquest is not difficult, but casualties are inevitable.If we advance all the way, it is unlikely to win Chengdu in a short time, and next year's spring plowing will definitely be delayed.

Instead of this, it is better to implement Dutian on the spot.If the speed is fast, next year's spring plowing can be completed before.In autumn, these counties can provide food for the army and reduce the burden of long-distance transportation.

Whether it is crossing the Qinling Mountains or going up the Yangtze River, the cost of transportation is very high. If we can save the fields locally and supply the army, it can reduce the burden a lot.

No matter how much achievements Guanzhong and Jingzhou Dutian have made in Yizhou, they may not believe it.In Yizhou, the effect is different.

Perhaps next autumn, the people of Yizhou will spontaneously respond to the court when they see the benefits of saving the land.At that time, the morale of Yizhou's army will be directed towards the imperial court. Can Liu Zhang persist?

Liu Xie felt reasonable.

It is indeed a good way to suspend the march and spend the fields on the spot.

Zhang Ji has not been able to advance Dutian in Nanyang for several years, and now he has to solve it himself, which is a shortcoming.Allowing him to live in Yizhou is to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.

As for Dutian, Shi Sunrui is obviously better than Zhang Ji.In the future, when discussing meritorious service, Shi Sun Rui will definitely win, and his promotion to the rank of Taiwei will be justified.

Yang Biao can be said to be well-intentioned.

But Liu Xie is not at a loss.

Yang Biao is tantamount to acquiescing to his rules and admitting that he has enough power to decide whether to appoint Shi Sun Rui as Taiwei.If you don't follow his rules, it's useless to say.

Liu Xie promised to think about it.

A few days later, the news came that Shi Sun Rui was in Guanghan Dutian.

Liu Xie was somewhat curious.

Did Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui discuss it a long time ago, or did they have a tacit understanding and thought of it together?

Liu Xie did not ask Yang Biao.

Clique formation among ministers is unavoidable, and the necessary precautions must be taken, but there is no need to fight like a bully.

After the court discussion, Liu Xie accepted Yang Biao's suggestion and ordered Shi Sun Rui and Zhang Ji to spend the land in Guanghan and Bajun respectively.

Although it is urgent to follow the power, Yan Pu is from Yizhou, so he also has the intention of winning over Yizhou scholar-bureaucrats.Those who support the imperial court will be hired exceptionally.Those who oppose the imperial court, Jizhou scholar-bureaucrats are a lesson for you.

After slowing down the advance, forced surrender was naturally on the agenda.

Liu Xie issued an edict to call Zhao Wen back to the court.

Anyone who dares to stop it will be regarded as treason.

-

Liu Zhang's mood is still unknown at the moment.

But the aristocratic and powerful families in Jingzhou were really shocked.

The danger of Yizhou is a reality that they can hear and see.The two armies of the imperial court attacked so smoothly, it can be seen that the strength in the hands of the imperial court has exceeded their imagination.

After the victory, the two armies did not advance quickly to take Chengdu directly, but saved the land on the spot. It can also be seen that the imperial court was determined to save the land, even surpassing the unification of the world.

At this point, who wants to oppose Du Tian, ​​there is no other possibility waiting for him except the army of the imperial court.

Of course, the whole family can also move to Bohai.

But obviously, there are only a few people who are willing to do whatever it takes for the imaginary benevolent government, and the vast majority of people still choose to compromise.

After all, the imperial court promised that Du Tian's loss is only temporary, and the rewards in the future will be very rich, far exceeding their current losses.

Let's just believe it.

Apart from the resoluteness of the court, there is also the desire of the people that makes the Jingzhou aristocratic and powerful families helpless.Knowing that the Son of Heaven is coming, the people in several other counties are waiting to spend the fields in Nanyang, and the impatient people are ready to do it themselves.

If you don't save the fields, maybe the people will rise up and kill them before the emperor is furious.

Many people secretly sighed, this is not the arrival of the emperor, this is simply another Yellow Turban Rebellion.
