Yuzhou, Pingyu County
This is the center of the entire Yuzhou.
The former Yuzhou administrative seat was in Qiao County, Peiguo. However, during Zhao Zhen's reign as emperor, he moved the administrative seat of Yuzhou to Pingyu County in Runan County. Since then, Pingyu County has flourished.
Today's Pingyu County, in the Prefectural Mufu.
In the hall, Liu Hengzheng and his staff Zhang Ji discussed the situation in Yuzhou.
According to the news Liu Heng had previously received, Wang Qi was heading to attack Cao Xuan. Liu Heng learned the news and did not support Cao Xuan. Under the current situation, he would have done his best not to attack Cao Xuan's rear.
Liu Heng looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, since the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corns appeared in Qi, we also bought a batch of them for planting, and the harvest is really good. It's just that the amount is too small, not enough to expand the planting. Starting from last year , I have been thinking about buying large quantities of grain seeds for planting. But until now, it is still not going well, and there is a lack of sufficient grain seeds. This situation still needs to be changed, and it cannot remain like this. As long as large quantities of grain seeds are obtained, there will be no food crisis in Yuzhou .¡±
Zhang Ji echoed: "Now we are at war with Qi State, the border is closed, and merchants cannot come back. The problem of grain seeds cannot be solved in a short time. So at the moment, we can only try our best to promote the grain seeds in our hands, and then expand planting step by step scope."
Liu Heng sighed: "That's all it can do. It's a pity. If there were more grain varieties, Yuzhou would have a great harvest this year."
Zhang Ji said: "The situation is like this, there is nothing we can do."
Liu Heng changed the topic and said: "There is another matter that concerns Zhao Li. The border between Runan County and Chu State has always been occupied by Zhao Li. In the past, the great Zhou Dynasty was tyrannical, and Zhao Li was stationed at the border. That's all, now the Great Zhou Dynasty is in decline. This army has been on the border of Yuzhou, which is equivalent to a country within a country. How can we solve it once and for all?"
Liu Heng, as the overlord of one party, has not yet become the king, but he already has ideas in his mind. But to take this step, Zhao Li's threat must be dealt with first. If even this point cannot be resolved, it will be difficult to move forward.
This is the most fundamental thing.
Zhang Ji thought for a while and said: "My lord, Zhao Li is not easy to deal with. The army led by Zhao Li are all elite soldiers on the battlefield and are extremely powerful, so I think the only way to weaken Zhao Li is to kill with a borrowed knife."
"Actually, letting Zhao Li deal with Wang Qi is the best strategy. It's a pity that when we asked Zhao Li to send troops to the border of Xiapi State, he refused directly and was unwilling to help us."
"Although Zhao Li is a military commander, he is a descendant of the royal family. He is also brave, resourceful, and very shrewd!"
Zhang Ji said: "No matter what the circumstances, Zhao Li has stationed troops on the southern border of Yuzhou. He will not be affected by the situation in the Zhou Dynasty and will not leave with his troops. Therefore, it is really difficult to shake Zhao Li."
Liu Heng sighed and said: "If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Li is at the border of Yuzhou, we would not have dared to go further. We can only respect the Great Zhou. Zhao Li is always a thorn in the side and needs to be solved."
Zhang Ji said: "What the Lord said is true, but this matter cannot be rushed."
"Report!"
At this moment, an attendant came in and reported: "Report to the State Shepherd, there is a sentinel returning from Yanzhou, Yanzhou urgently reports."
Liu Heng ordered: "Pass it!"
The attendant went to deliver the order, and not long after, he saw a tired-looking sentry, who hurriedly entered. After standing still, he saluted and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, Yanzhou urgently reported that Cao Xuan and Wang Qi were defeated in the battle."
While talking, the detective handed over the letter.
Liu Heng took the letter and browsed it quickly. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, his pupils shrank, he waved his hand for the sentry to retreat, and said: "Military advisor, I just got the news that Cao Xuan was defeated, and Cao Xuan's subordinates were defeated." The generals Xiang Peng, Xi Qing, and Zhao Xie were killed, and only Wang Ben survived. Cao Xuan suffered heavy losses."
Zhang Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Very surprised.
Cao Xuan was defeated?
This is really surprising. You must know that the war has just begun, and they have just received the news that Wang Qi attacked Cao Xuan. In the blink of an eye, Cao Xuan was defeated, beyond Liu Heng's expectation.
Zhang Ji took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said: "My lord, Wang Qi is really powerful. We have also dealt with Cao Xuan, and we know that Cao Xuan is not easy, but we didn't expect that Cao Xuan was defeated directly."
Liu Heng said: "Military advisor, what do you think of the current situation?"
Zhang Ji thought for a while and said, "Do we have two options at the moment?"
Liu Hengdao: "What two options are there?"
Zhang Ji replied: "First, noBeing an enemy of Qi State, he no longer threatened Xia Pi State, but instead attacked the weakened Cao Xuan to get a piece of the pie from Cao Xuan. Previously, Yanzhou and Yuzhou were of the same mind, so we watched the changes and never set foot in Yanzhou. But now, Cao Xuan is weak, and there is an opportunity that can be taken advantage of. "
Liu Heng nodded, but did not express his position and asked: "What about the second one?"
Zhang Ji replied: "Second, it remains the same. Our army is still stationed at the Xiapi border. As for the current situation, we just wait and see how it changes. No matter what else, we don't care about Cao Xuan."
Liu Heng asked: "Which option does the military advisor prefer?"
Zhang Ji's eyes flashed and he said: "I hope to attack Yanzhou more, because Cao Xuan is weak, this is the best opportunity to seize Cao Xuan's power. If you miss it at this time, it will not be easy to tear a piece of flesh from Cao Xuan's body in the future. .¡±
Liu Heng is also a wise man and has his own ideas. He shook his head and said: "Military advisor, for the time being, we still don't choose to take advantage of the situation. If we take advantage of the situation and weaken Cao Xuan, we can indeed gain certain benefits."
"But our biggest enemy is not Cao Xuan for the time being, but Wang Qi."
¡°In the end, we have to contend with Wang Qi.¡±
"Cao Xuan was defeated in this battle. I predict that in the next few years, our long-term mission will be to resist Wang Qi's threat. Cao Xuan is in Yanzhou, which is a boost and will be helpful to us."
¡°Today we should not be too short-sighted, we must consider the long term.¡±
Liu Heng looked serious and said: "Our first task is still to solve Zhao Li's problem first. Otherwise, in the end, we will appear to be strong, but in fact our foundation will be unstable. Send a letter to Cao Xuan and ask him if he needs food. With your help, we in Yuzhou can send some food and armor to help Cao Xuan remember today's kindness."
Zhang Ji said: "My lord is wise!"
Liu Hengdao: "Military advisor, let's get back to the topic and return to the current situation. What do you think of Zhao Li?"
Zhang Ji said: "The best way to deal with Zhao Li is to let Zhao Li deal with Chu or Wang Qi. In short, if Zhao Li sends troops, it will be easy for us. If Zhao Li doesn't send troops, everything will be bad. Plan.¡±
Liu Hengdao: "This is difficult to plan."
Zhang Ji fell silent, and with a stern look in his eyes, he said: "In that case, let's just go all out and invite Zhao Li to Pingyu County to discuss the matter. When the time comes, we will ambush the swordsman, and then mobilize all the masters to take action." Come down to Zhao Li."
After a pause, Zhang Ji said: "As long as Zhao Li is gone, we can directly control Zhao Li's army, and everything will go smoothly and he can become the king. Doing this will directly break his face, and the subsequent relationship with Da Zhou will also be broken."
Liu Heng's eyes lit up and he said: "If the relationship breaks down, it will break down. What's more, as long as you become king, the relationship will inevitably break down. Military advisor, this is the arrangement. You can plan it."
"yes!"
Zhang Ji responded immediately.
He is also full of fighting spirit and expectation. The reason is very simple. He is now just Liu Heng's military advisor. Once Liu Heng founded the country, with his qualifications and prestige, he would definitely become Liu Heng's prime minister.
This is Zhang Ji¡¯s ambition and what he pursues diligently.
Zhang Ji turned around and went to make arrangements. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
