But now, they have an absolute advantage and are overwhelming the Wei army and the Wu army.
After the ministers paid their respects, some civil and military officials immediately proposed to send troops to unify the world. This was the common wish of all civil and military officials. Six months ago, Liu Zhang had made it clear that he would never talk about proclaiming himself emperor until he unified the world.
If Liu Zhang does not proclaim himself emperor, officials and generals like them will not be granted titles.
Liu Zhang¡¯s original words were sworn by the sword. No one dared to doubt, and no one dared to talk about proclaiming emperor before unifying the world. However, this did not mean that they did not desire Liu Zhang to proclaim himself emperor in order to achieve his status as the founding father of the country.
Now the officials and generals of the Sichuan Army are working hard to prepare for the Sichuan Army to dominate the world and instill the last huge force. Driven by the enthusiasm of these officials and generals, farming and commerce, craftsmanship creation, workshop production, and army training are all in an orderly manner. Active scene.
Everyone in the area under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army is preparing for the Sichuan Army to dominate the world.
The victory in the Battle of Xiahetao greatly inspired everyone's hearts, because it was not a simple victory, and it was very different from what they expected before the Sichuan army set off.
They expected that the Sichuan Army would win, but they did not expect that the victory would be so complete.
This battle not only won the two planned targets of Xiahetao and Bingzhou, but also the coup in Yecheng, which caused the core civil and military personnel of Cao's army to come to surrender. This was inspiring enough. The 100,000 Di army in the north turned out to be the Sichuan army. of military strength.
In this way, not only is there no sharp sword hanging over the head of the Sichuan army, but it is hanging over the head of the Wei army. This reversal of the situation has completely established the momentum for the unification of the Sichuan army. Not surprisingly, the unification of the Sichuan army is a certainty.
Before a big event succeeds, people tend to become more urgent. This is the case with the Sichuan Army Civil and Military Affairs at this moment. They are already eager to hope that the Sichuan army's iron hooves will enter Hebei and flatten Jiangdong.
So when Fu Shou sat on the throne and Liu Zhang sat beside him, all the ministers asked for orders.
Liu Zhang would certainly not agree to launching a unification war immediately.
The Sichuan Army now has the strength to launch a war of reunification, regardless of military strength, morale, combat power, or logistical supplies. Under an all-out attack, barriers such as Huguan, the Great Wall, and the Yangtze River could not stop the Sichuan army.
But when we launch an attack now, we don¡¯t have a full-scale attack with new units. The casualties among soldiers must be heavy, and the food stocks will not be enough to support a full-scale attack. Tax increases and donations from businessmen will definitely be needed.
Even if the people and businessmen have no complaints, it is still a crippling thing.
Not to mention the most critical thing, Liu Zhang felt that there were still some things that had not been done before the unification war, if not done in advance. When there are more things to do about unifying the world, things that are not taken into account at that time may leave hidden dangers for generations to come.
Liu Zhang rejected the proposal of the ministers, although the ministers were unwilling to do so. But they didn't say anything. After all, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying revealed half a year ago that the unification war would be a year and a half later, which is one year from now.
They are just because of the unexpected gains from the Battle of Xiahetao. And become fanatical, except for a little restlessness in the heart where the urgent thoughts are suppressed. Nothing else, it¡¯s only one year anyway.
"Xuan Xunyu, Xunyou, Cheng Yu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Jia, Tian Yu, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian enter the palace." The eunuch shouted loudly, and Xunyu, Xunyou and others who were waiting outside the palace entered in order.
The civil and military officers of Cao's army looked at the solemn civil and military officers of the Sichuan army on both sides, as well as Fushou Liu Zhang, who was sitting at the top. They seemed to recall that before the Battle of Guanzhong, even though the palace was a little dilapidated, Cao's army also had this lineup.
At that time, Liu Xie was sitting at the top, and Cao Cao was sitting in Liu Zhang's position. Cao Cao's army was standing on both sides in the most prosperous civil and military affairs. Cao Cao once wrote poems across the river.
However, time has passed and Cao's army has completely declined. Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others never imagined that one day they would surrender to the Sichuan army. When the Sichuan army took over the world, they thought they could only die in battle.
"Xun Yu (Zhang Liao) met the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was a thousand years old; met the King of Shu, and the King of Shu was a thousand years old."
"Everyone is safe." Fu Shou made a standing gesture to the civil and military officers of Cao's army, and said slowly: "I heard from His Highness the King of Shu that the King of Wei, Cao Cao, has abandoned the dark side and surrendered to the bright side, and is willing to return to the imperial court. This move to prosper the country has been overthrown. A group of Xiaoxiao obstructed the plan, and the king of Wei also fell into the trap of the thief.
The actions of the rebels in Yecheng are inconsistent with the laws of heaven and the people. They hurt the Han Dynasty and harm the country. The King of Shu will lead our Han officials and troops to eliminate them and save the King of Wei.
If Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others had not known for sure that Liu Zhang was in charge of the Sichuan Army, at first glance, one would have thought that Fu Shou had the final say in the Sichuan Army.
Fu Shou finished what he said, as if he was speaking completely from his heart, without any intention of coercion, especially the last sentence: "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, please read out my decree."
Even if he knew that what Liu Zhang read out was his own, maybe Fu Shou didn't know what "his" will was at all, but Liu Xie would never dare to say this to Cao Cao before.
This is a completely different perception than when Cao Jun took Liu Xie hostage. There was no feeling of being held hostage at all.
Since the last time Fu Shou was born prematurely, Xun Yu, Xun You and others have faintly heard the discussion. Now that they have met Fu Shou, they have confirmed in their hearts, "It is indeed so."
However, they still knew Fu Shou, and they could not help but be surprised at Liu Zhang's ability to make Fu Shou willingly become a puppet.
In the past, Dong Zhuo was intimidating and coercing, and Cao Cao was soft-handed, but now Liu Zhang can actually make Fu Shou willing.
It seems that holding the emperor hostage also requires a level of skill. Comparing the three, we can make a judgment.
"Yes." Liu Zhang saluted Fu Shou, turned around and said to Cao Jun Wenwu: "Wen Ruo, Wen Yuan, and everyone else, you are new to the Sichuan Army. You should have a good rest and get familiar with the Sichuan Army. I am now acting as the Queen Mother. If you are conferred an official position, I am afraid that you will have to take up the post and work hard immediately, are you willing?"
Liu Zhang looked at the civil and military personnel of Cao's army. Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others looked at each other in disbelief. He originally thought that he would be left out in the cold, and then inspected them one by one, and then appointed them to official positions after showing their loyalty. Unexpectedly, he returned to Chang'an just now. The next day, Liu Zhang was going to confer the gift, which was really unexpected.
"We sincerely abide by the will of the Queen Mother and King of Shu." Xun Yu, Zhang Liao and others bowed down together.
"Okay." Liu Zhang took out an edict and glanced at it. Without reading it, he lowered the edict to his waist and said directly: "Nanyang, west of Yuzhou, the land of Heluo, was originally a prosperous land, but it gradually became desolate due to the war. , although now attached to the imperial court, the people's livelihood has not been restored, and there is an urgent need for capable ministers and officials to govern.
The Empress Dowager heard that Xun Yu, Xun Wenruo, Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde were both outstanding talents in governing the world. She now ennobled Cheng Yu as the shepherd of Yuzhou and also the governor of Nanyang. She also ennobled Xun Yu as the Yin of Henan to preside over the reconstruction of Heluo. "
Xun Yu and Cheng Yu both listened to the edict in disbelief and almost forgot to bow down. They only thought that Liu Zhang would entrust an insignificant official position. Even if the official position was high, it would be restricted. However, they never expected that As soon as he comes out, he is an important member of the party and is still in a critical position.
??
"Yes, Yuzhou also covers the Yingshui front line." Cheng Yu followed.
"Because of this, two great talents are needed. Do you think they are not capable enough?" Liu Zhang asked, whether it was the evaluation of later generations or Liu Zhang's understanding of this era.
People like Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are loyal as long as they surrender, and the more important you use them, the sooner they will come back to their heart. Suspicion will only alienate them, and in the end, two talents will be wasted.
"I would like to thank the Queen Mother and the King of Shu." Xun Yu and Cheng Yu bowed deeply.
Liu Zhang nodded slightly and continued: "Su Wen had five good generals under Duke Cao's command, all of whom were both civil and military generals. Unfortunately, Le Jin died on the bank of the Han River. However, three generals, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhang Jia, surrendered, which really made the Queen Mother and this king happy. .
Now that the northern grasslands have just surrendered, I canonize Zhe Lanying as Meiji City, perform royal duties, and govern the northern grasslands. However, although Zhe Lanying alone can control the army, he may not be able to truly control the grasslands.
Zhe Lanying had a hundred thousand troops under his command, including 20,000 Di troops, 30,000 Xianbei troops, and 50,000 Han troops. The 20,000 Di troops were personally controlled by Zhe Lanying, and the Xianbei troops were commanded by General Wang Yue.
There are 50,000 Han troops left. I plan to divide them into three branches. The center army will be 20,000 men, led by Zhang Liao and stationed at Yanmen Pass. The left army will be garrisoned in the fields. The left army will be 15,000 men, led by Xu Huang, and will be temporarily stationed in Shanggu. The right army will be 10,000 men. Five thousand men, led by Zhang Jia, were also stationed in Shanggu. After Youzhou is pacified, there will be distribution. "
Liu Zhang has already discussed with Huang Yueying that the army must not remain on the grassland. In this regard, Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang have already designated a way to manage the grassland, which is to separate the military and civilians.
Men are of course required for grassland grazing, but in the future, only cattle and sheep are allowed to be grazed, and horses are not allowed to be grazed. Horses used by herdsmen for riding are allocated by the Han army base, and only during the grazing season.
The so-called Han army bases are the garrison sites selected by the Han army along the grasslands and near the Great Wall in areas with rich water and grass. These garrison sites haveAmong many functions, the first is that the army controls the grasslands, and only in these places can horses be concentrated in large numbers.
The generals and management civil servants in the Han military bases do not distinguish between Han and foreigners, but they are replaced in turn, just like the Western Regions and other places. These places also manage market transactions, including salt and ironware.
The army at the base is also a compulsory soldier system for the grassland herdsmen.
And he is also responsible for rescuing grassland disaster areas during grassland disasters.
