Luoyang¡¯s prosperity reaches its peak during the New Year.
Whether they are refugees wandering here from the north or people who have moved here from the south, after a winter of reclaiming wasteland, building water conservancy projects, and leveling fertile fields, the Ministry of Household Affairs has paid them their due rewards, either money or goods. food. Therefore, for the first time, ordinary people did not celebrate the New Year properly.
With more pedestrians on the street, the business of various shops will naturally improve, and there will be an endless stream of merchants coming and going, with daily necessities, food, vegetables, cotton and linen, silk, fine wine, pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. all available.
¡°In addition to the faces we often see, these merchants also have foreigners with curly hair, blue eyes, white skin or bronze skin. Although they speak very blunt Chinese, it does not affect their business, because the big Han protects all merchants.
The peaceful and happy life made people forget about the clashing of swords and drums and horns. It seemed that everything was over, and the Han Dynasty would prosper from now on.
But the major princes began to prepare for war more intensively. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the officials of the Han Palace became busy and had almost no leisure.
Although the ice and snow in Liangzhou have not yet melted, the troops led by Li Yan and Fazheng, commanders of the Liangzhou Corps, have already set off.
Except for Zhu Ling who still led 5,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Jincheng to assist Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, to guard against bandits and foreigners and protect the Silk Road, the other generals and 45,000 troops first went south to Tianshui, then west to Longyou, and finally Will be stationed in Wudu. Deng Ai's Feitian camp totaled 20,000 troops and was stationed in Yinping.
In other words, at the border between Liangzhou and Yizhou, the Han Dynasty had assembled a total of more than 60,000 troops, and the general lineup was even more luxurious. Deng Ai, the general who suppressed the west, Li Yan, the general who conquered the west, and Fazheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, had already They are famous all over the world. Under their command, Jiang Xu, Yang Fu, Wang Ping, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, Zhang Xiu, etc., many of them are famous generals in the world.
After the news reached Chengdu, Liu Zhang was horrified and immediately sent Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Fei Guan, Wang Lei and other important ministers to the Shu Palace to discuss the matter.
"My lords, Liu Cong suddenly gathered an army in Yinping, the capital of Wu, and his goal is Yizhou. What should we do?" Liu Zhang's voice was full of panic.
"Don't worry, my lord, the Han army is gathering in Yinping, the capital of Wu, not to attack Yizhou, but to guard against Liangzhou!" Zhang Song said first.
"Yongnian, our army hasn't moved yet, how can they be on guard?" Liu Zhang shook his head, "This is clearly trying to attack us. Zitong only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can he stop the 60,000 Han army that looks like wolves and tigers?" ah?"
"Lord, although our army has not moved, the news of the alliance with Cao Cao has already reached Luoyang. How can the Han army not take precautions? Besides, the ice and snow have not melted yet. Even if they want to attack, their troops and horses cannot reach Zitong!" Zhang Song explained.
"What Zhang Biejia said makes sense, my lord, don't worry!" Fei Guan, the general in awe, said.
"Ohthat's it!" Liu Zhang nodded, looking much more relaxed.
"My lord, although the Han army cannot attack Zitong at this time, we should also mobilize our troops." Huang Quan, the servant, came out and said, "Deng Aishan has sent out surprise troops. As long as the ice and snow melt a little, he may dispatch. We must not Be on guard!"
¡°Gong Heng means that we enable Ma Chao now?¡±
"right!"
"My lord, Ma Chao is a tiger and a wolf. You should use it with caution. If you don't use it well, it will backfire!" Wang Lei said.
"My subordinates also second the proposal!" Zhang Song obviously agreed with Wang Lei's opinion.
"Can Ma Chao be made deputy commander-in-chief?" Liu Zhang asked.
"No!" Huang Quan shook his head, "Li Yan and Deng Ai are famous generals, and the Han army has 60,000 troops. Only Ma Chao can stabilize the morale of the army. The lord only needs to appoint a military captain to check and balance Ma Chao. "
"Then who can join the army?"
"As a general in the chariot, the eldest son Liu Xun is qualified for the job!"
Liu Xun is the eldest son of Liu Zhang, and his wife is the daughter of Pang Xi, the former governor of Bajun. Liu Xun once learned military tactics from Pang Xi. He was good at both civil and military affairs. He was called a Confucian general in Yizhou and had a certain reputation.
"Okay, send an order immediately. With Ma Chao as the commander-in-chief, Liu Xun as the military captain, Wu Ban and Wu Yi as the vanguard, Ma Dai, Pang De, Deng Xian, and Lingbao as generals, with an army of 50,000, we will set off to attack Yinping today! "
"No!"
"My lord, Liu Bei sent Sun Qian here to ask when the troops can be sent to Hanzhong?" Wang Lei said.
"Liu Bei" When Liu Zhang mentioned Liu Bei, he was still a little unhappy and a little afraid.
Hanzhong Zhang Lu?It had been a serious problem for him for so many years, but Liu Bei wiped out Zhang Lu in the blink of an eye. Meng Huo has been causing trouble in Nanzhong for many years, and the terrain in Nanzhong is complicated, and Yongchang County does not have much food and grass. However, Liu Bei only used a few months to calm down all the troubles. How could he not be afraid of such a person?
"My lord, Liu Bei has 30,000 troops. If he enters Hanzhong, it is very likely that he will turn against the guests as last time. Therefore, my lord should first station troops at Baishui Pass, Dingjun Mountain, Jiameng Pass, Yang'an Pass and Nanzheng City. Leave Baocheng, Xiabian, Gudao and other cities behind for Liu Bei's army to be stationed, and urge his troops to leave Xie Valley or Ziwu Valley!" Zhang Song said.
"Zhang Bie's words are right. After our army is stationed, let Liu Bei go to Hanzhong!" Huang Quan said.
"How should the troops be distributed?"
"Ten thousand soldiers and horses are stationed in Nanzheng, 5,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the other passes, and a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Hanzhong!"
"Okay, I have ordered Yang Huai to station at Baishui Pass, Gao Pei to station at Dingjun Mountain, Fu Jin to stay in Nanzheng City, Xiang Cun to station at Jiameng Pass, and Zhang Yi to station at Yang'an Pass!"
"No!"
"My lord, it's time to prepare our third line of troops!" Wang Lei said.
"Gongheng, how many troops and horses are needed to attack Shangyong?" Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan.
"Shangyong has three cities with a total of 20,000 troops. The governor is Shi Guangyuan. This man was once a good friend of Zhuge Liang and is very talented. Although the school captain Guo Huai is a surrendered general, he is Liu Cong's newly appointed general to conquer the east. He is the same as Zheng Liang. The general of the West, Li Yan, is famous. He defeated Liu Bei in the previous battle, and he is by no means an easy man. Therefore, if you want to win everything, you should send an army of 50,000!"
"Fifty thousand?" Liu Zhang frowned, "In this case, our Yizhou will be empty"
"Don't worry, my lord, although Yizhou is empty, we have no external enemies. We only need to guard against some rioters and bandits, so the county soldiers in each city are enough!" Zhang Song said in a very relaxed tone, "As long as we take Shangyong, this will The border defense is as far as Jingzhou, and Chengdu will never hear about war horses!"
"Yes, what Zhang Biejia said makes sense!"
"Okay, here's the order: Zhang Ren will be the commander, Huang Quan will be the captain of the army, Yan Yan, the prefect of Ba County, will be the general, Wu Lan Lei Tong will be the vanguard, Liu Quan will escort the grain and grass, send an army of 50,000, and prepare to attack Shangyong!"
