Chapter 834

Step on it!

As the capital of the former Han Dynasty, Chang'an is no longer the political center of the Han Dynasty, but it is still the largest city in Guanzhong. Therefore, the official roads leading to Chang'an are well-established and wide enough to accommodate tens of people.

Suddenly, there was a sound of galloping horses' hooves on the official road. The courier couldn't help but look up and saw hundreds of horses and men galloping in black clothes and black armour. Among the hundreds of armored black cavalry, a strong man in the middle holds a big flag, which is extremely exquisite, hunting in the wind.

When the post guard saw the flag, his face changed.

"The general is back!"

Chang'an city.

"Fa Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time. He looks good."

Liu Ye says to Fazhen with a smile that although Fazhen works hard day and night, he has already ordered his servants to prepare medicines and fine meals, and to supplement Fazhen every day. Therefore, although Fazhen is not young, he still looks radiant.

"Ha ha, thank you for your care."

With a smile, Fazhen asked, "is it not Bashu's decision that the general will return to Chang'an?"

"Not bad." Jia Xu then said: "our army was as strong as ever, and one after another in jiamengguan, jiangge, Jiangzhou and Chengdu in Keding. Liu Jiyu surrendered out of the city, and most of the civil and military officials in Yizhou surrendered. In addition, the barbarians in nanzhong once rebelled, but they have been suppressed by Ma Shoucheng. "

"In this way, Jingzhou will be in our army's hands." Fazhen said in surprise.

Yizhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou are all above the Yangtze River, while Yizhou is in the upper reaches, Jingzhou is in the middle reaches, and Yangzhou is in the lower reaches. Now that the Xiliang army has occupied Yizhou, the army has been flowing down. Naturally, it has been overwhelming.

Later, after the Jin Dynasty moved eastward, the Huanwen family occupied Jingzhou. They could send troops to threaten their health at any time and place, so that the Sima royal family was always afraid of Huanwen. It can be said that if Huanwen had not failed in several northern expeditions, they would have sent troops from Jingzhou to replace the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In fact, Huan Xuan, Huanwen's son, really rebelled and founded the state of Chu. However, Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, launched an army in Jingkou to exterminate it. Huan Chu was not well-known because of its short existence time.

Now that the Xiliang army has occupied Yizhou, it really has the power of the king of Qin to sweep Liuhe. Qin is not only the land in Guanzhong, but also the land of Shu that simacuo surrendered. It is precisely because the central part of Bashu is connected with Guanzhong, so the princes can't take it.

"The people of Yizhou are still uneasy in their hearts and may not be able to use them for us. We need to pacify them. We can't use them for at least three years."

Liu Ye shook his head, and then said, "Fagong, do you have any new news recently?"

FA Zhenzheng said: "Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha County, openly rebelled, and many counties in southern Jingnan united with Zhang Xian. Liu Jingsheng is now in a state of great anxiety. He has dispatched troops from northern Jingbei to fight against the rebellion."

"It's a pity that the main force of our army is still in Hanzhong. If we send troops at this moment, will Xiangyang be easy to get?"

Liu Ye exclaimed. It's a pity that hundreds of riders escorted him all the way back. Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops are not so fast naturally, and it will take another month to get back to Guanzhong. Otherwise, it will not be difficult to gather troops and launch a thunderbolt on Jingzhou, and it will be a rare opportunity to end the civil strife in Jingzhou.

Jia Xu advised: "it's not necessary for the general to do so. Although Jingzhou is now in civil strife, it is not necessarily a good thing to send troops to attack Jingzhou now."

Liu Ye eyebrows a pick: "how to see?"

"First of all, our army has been on an expedition for more than half a year. Now it has been a long time and tiring battle. We need a good rest and reserve our strength. Otherwise, the officers and men are tired of war. How can we get along with it?"

"Second, the north and the south of Jingzhou are fighting with each other, which consumes the living power of Jingzhou. The longer they entangle, the more casualties Jingzhou soldiers and horses will suffer. If our army sends out troops, Liu Jingsheng can't do a good job. If he leads his troops to the north of Jingbei to fight against our army, it's better to let them fight against each other. "

After listening to Jia Xu's talk, Liu Ye nods if he has some understanding: "Wenhe is also good. Let Liu Jingsheng and Zhang xianduo entangle for a period of time, so that our army can take the opportunity to recuperate."

Liu Ye also remembers that Zhang Xian's rebellion broke out. Although he can't remember exactly how long it lasted, it was certainly not short. Liu Biao has sent troops to harass Nanyang many times before, which has already lost many soldiers. In addition, the suppression of Jingnan rebellion now will certainly defeat the generals at the expense of soldiers. At that time, it will not be difficult for Liu Biao to send troops at one stroke and level Jingzhou.

"In addition, there is another thing that needs to be done to the general."

"Oh? Dharma Gong, just say it. "

Fazhen said: "Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, sent an envoy to Luoyang a few days ago, claiming that Yuan Shao was rebellious and wanted to send troops for a crusade. I don't know what the general's intention is?"

"Oh?"

Liu Ye said in surprise, "Gongsun Du wants to attack Yuan Shao? Ha ha, that's a good thing. "

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "the general can be granted gongsundu as governor of Youzhou and tinghou of Pingcheng. In this way, gongsundu will surely fight with Yuan Shao, and our army will be able to reap the benefits of fishing."Liu Ye laughs: "Wen he's very right. In this case, I'll make Gongsun Du governor of Youzhou."

It's really good to take the emperor to make the princes feel good. Liu Ye has a trace of Cao Cao's cheerfulness. Cao Cao often provoked other princes to fight because of the emperor. For example, when Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei to send troops to attack Yuan Shu. As a result, Lu Bu took advantage of him and captured Xuzhou. Later, he drove the tiger and swallow the wolf and drove Lu Bu to drive Liu Bei away.

In order to achieve all this, Cao Cao did not use one of his soldiers. He just sent out a few edicts. He provoked the three princes to fight with nearly 100000 troops. This shows that the son of heaven is in charge.

"The general, Gongsun Du, is also a hero with ulterior motives, but our army has to guard against it." Fazhen suggested.

"It's all right. Although yuan Benchu was injured, his lean camel was bigger than his horse. He and Gongsun Du were afraid that they would entangle for a long time, and there would be no result in at least one year."

But Liu Ye waved his hand and didn't agree. Gongsundu was not an ordinary person. He was just a small and medium-sized official in the army at first. However, he became the prefect of Liaodong, but he was ruthless. He called hundreds of big families in Liaodong to have a feast. As a result, he ambushed with swordsmen and killed all the heads of these famous families. The whole area of Liaodong was all in gongsundu's hands. He was a gloomy man.

Gongsun Du also sent troops to attack Wuhuan, Sanhan and other tribes, making Liaodong power once the overlord of Northeast Asia.
