Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 720

"what?"

Sima Lang was taken aback, looked at Liu Ye and then at Zhang Song, with a surprised expression.

what happened?

Isn't it a good attack on Hanzhong? Why are you going to attack Yizhou again?

Zhang Song...this kid.

Liu Ye frowned, "What does Zhang mean by doing this? I don't seem to understand."

Zhang Song said loudly: "Liu Yan and Liu Zhang do not respect the court's decree, and occupy Yizhou, which is a separate rule. Otherwise, if Liu Yan is dead, the court should appoint someone else to serve as the shepherd of the state. How can the father and the son continue Yi? The state is the imperial court state, not the state!"

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the great ancestor, sighed with emotion at the demise of the Qin Dynasty, thinking that it was Emperor Qin Shi Huang who implemented the system of prefectures and counties without enclosing the clan to guard the center, so he perished. Therefore, the Han dynasty actually implemented a parallel system of prefectures and states, including states and prefectures under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, as well as the feudal states of princes and kings. The so-called "those who are not the Liu family but the king will be attacked by the world."

The officials of the prefectures and counties are naturally appointed directly by the imperial court, and the confession of the country is the succession of the father and the son. They only have to report to the imperial court and ask for permission, which is actually a cutscene.

"The general pacified Guanzhong and killed Dong Zhuo. It was the hero who helped the court and leveled the world. Now that Liu Zhang is in Yizhou, the general only knows that the biggest traitor is right in front of Zhang Lu. Isn't this blindsided?" Zhang Song shouted loudly.

Liu Ye's expression changed: "Yongnian said yes, he would have been taught."

Zhang Song was overjoyed, walked forward a few steps on his knees, and then handed over the topographic map of Yizhou in his hand.

Liu Ye solemnly accepted the picture, and then said: "Can Yongnian return to Yizhou, as he should be in Yizhou?"

Zhang Song was overjoyed: "Dare you care?"

"If this is the case, Yongnian can go back quickly, and when the major event is settled, a certain must be reused," Liu Ye promised.

"Thank you General!"

Liu Ye immediately arranged for Zhang Song to live in his mansion, eat with him, and discuss the world situation. Zhang Song was quite honored.

After sending away Zhang Song, Liu Ye immediately called Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to come to discuss the matter.

"Congratulations to the general." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yizhou is very rich, and the road to Sichuan is difficult and dangerous. Even Sima's mistaken tragedy to Shu is very difficult. With this picture of the mountains and rivers, Yizhou is like a woman in front of our army. Without his clothes, it's all in sight."

Liu Ye laughed loudly: "Fengxiao, your kid is really romantic, and you have to quit drinking, so that you can continue to serve the court."

Since Guo Jia coughed up blood, Liu Ye had forcibly stopped his Wu Shi San and sent a famous doctor to live directly in his house. If he had any illness, he would immediately go to review. With such all-round concern, Guo Jia's diseased body finally gradually recovered. Although he was not as good as the elite soldiers in the army, his complexion became visible and ruddy.

"General, as a result, our military's strategic phalanx will change a little."

Jia Xu said gloomily.

Liu Ye smiled, "Wenhe, just say it."

"The previous plan of our army was to conquer Hanzhong and defeat Zhang Lu. The reason why Yizhou was not attacked was because the roads into Sichuan were difficult and dangerous, the army was difficult to deploy, and the transportation of grain and grass was unsustainable."

"But now there are three benefits to going to Yizhou!"

Jia Xu stretched out three fingers, and Liu Zhang nodded slightly, beckoning him to speak.

"One: Yizhou is rich and has always been called the country of abundance, with millions of people and gorgeous Shu brocade. If Yizhou can be annexed, the national power will be greatly increased. With the accumulation of Yizhou over the years, it can also expand by 50,000 troops. "

"Second: Zhang Song presented a map of the situation of Yizhou's mountains and rivers, making Yizhou, which had been difficult to get in and out of the country, look like a bag in the eyes of our army, and Zhang Song also agreed to act as an internal response in Yizhou."

"Part three: The art of war was unexpected. Liu Zhang thought that our army only wanted to defeat Hanzhong, but he didn't know that our army was going to take Yizhou. As a result, the Yizhou army would be unprepared, and a prepared army would fight an unprepared division. How can you win?"

"Hahaha, good!"

Liu Ye stood up and said with a smile: "With these three benefits, he would just not want to conquer Yizhou."

"Hehe, Liu Zhang is weak, I really don't know why Liu Yan wanted to use this son as the heir." Guo Jia said with emotion.

Liu Ye shook his head: "Feng Xiao, I have to thank Liu Yan. If the lord of Yizhou is smart and strong, and Yizhou's civil and military forces are fully assisted, and Zhang Song does not come to present the picture, how can our army attack Yizhou?"

"Haha, what the general said is extremely true."

"But if it's just a crusade against Hanzhong, then a general will be ordered to command the troops. If you want to annex Yizhou, the general must personally supervise the division."

Jia Xu asked for orders: "Please personally go to the generals of Chang'an to govern the army and horses, restrain the army, and wipe out Pakistan and Shu in one fell swoop!"

"Ok."

Liu Ye stood up without hesitation: "Send the order, ordering the Luoyang New Barracks to increase troops by 20,000 in the direction of Nanyang, and Junyi has to guard against Liu Biao, but also to conquer Hanzhong, I am afraid that 30,000 troops will not be enough."

Previously, Liu Ye’s army’s main offensive direction was Central Plains and Hebei, while Nanyang was mainly on defense. Therefore, the number of soldiers and horses under Zhang Jai’s command was not large. Counting the iron cavalry stationed in Wuguan, the total number did not exceed 30,000. people.

To go to Zhang Lu, Zhang Jaw also had to mobilize 10,000 or 20,000 people. As a result, Nanyang would inevitably defend the emptiness. Although Cai Hao was defeated in the Nanyang conquest, it would be difficult to deal with if Liu Biao sent troops again.

"Order Ma Teng to dispatch all soldiers and horses from Guanzhong to Chang'an. He was going to go to Chang'an Supervisor himself, first destroy Zhang Lu, and then ping Yizhou!"

"Gongda guards Luoyang, Feng Xiao and Wen and you two will go to Chang'an with me."

"No!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu both clasped their hands, looking serious.

Although Yizhou has only one state, its strength is extraordinary. It has a strong military and a good location. Even if Liu Ye has a great advantage, he still cannot relax, otherwise it is very likely to overturn.

"After the leveling of Yizhou, it is time to send troops to fight Cao Cao."

Liu Ye looked to the east, revealing a strong war spirit.

Cao Cao's relationship with Liu Ye is very complicated. During the Battle of Changsha, the two fought side by side, and their friendship was the closest. Both of them were ambitious people, so the relationship was very good.

Later, under Liu Ye's recommendation, Cao Cao took office as the governor of Qingzhou, but since then, the relationship between the two has changed. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao colluded together and became Liu Ye's enemy in the East, and their strength became stronger and stronger, gradually replacing Yuan Shao and becoming the first person to compete with Liu Ye.

"Who rivals the heroes of the world, Cao Liu!"

Liu Ye always has a feeling that Cao Cao will pacify Jiangdong soon, and he will be able to pacify Yizhou. The duel between two people, no matter who wins or loses, will determine the belonging of the whole world.

This day seems to be not far away.
