Chapter 719: Liangzhou changes again

On the second day, a regular court meeting in the palace was held, and all civil and military officials walked into the palace with Gong Saner's shout.

Liu He was straight to the point: "Gong Saner, pass the order."

Gong Saner knew it and obtained a volume of imperial edict.

"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: The governor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, the captain of Xiaoqi, and the grand lieutenant Cao Teng, who was adopted by the son Song of the country, received the favor of the country for a long time, and occupied the imperial palace for a long time. Fortunately, the kindness of heaven was great, and he did not punish him. He should have revenged him for loyalty and righteousness and obeyed him for his ministers. Unexpectedly, he did not repent, so he tried to establish himself, forged his father's assassination, and planned to annex Xuzhou in the name of revenge and murder important officials of the country. After the court broke his conspiracy, he issued a new proclamation to the world, echoing Yizhou and respecting the rebel Liu Yan, which was actually a ten evil crime. Now he specially ordered the general Gao Shun to conquer the Southern Dynasty to be granted a vacancies, and led 100,000 troops to move into Chenliu, waiting for the opportunity to fight against rebellion for the country."

"Ye Xiang, the general who fought in the west, rode alone into Xuzhou, retreated Cao Cao and saved the court's Zhongliang. He made great contributions. He was also appointed as the Marquis of Huang Yongxiang, and led the headquarters' 20,000 Shenji camps to go to the expedition with Gao Shun, and was awarded this."

"I thank the Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor!"

Gao Shun and Ye Xiang bowed and thanked him.

Among the ministers, there were several people who had old friends with Cao, and even had in-laws. Some of them wanted to stand up and tell a few words, but Yang Biao stared back with a look.

Seeing that all the ministers had no report, Liu He took the initiative to speak: "When I first drafted the list of officials at all levels in Liangzhou, I had said that I would leave Luoyang within fifteen days and take office. It has been nearly two months since then. I wonder what the situation in Xiliang is like?"

Xun Yu stood up and said, "I asked Your Majesty that among the officials at all levels, Liangzhou Governor Zhang Yong was the fastest. After receiving the appointment, he packed up and went to Didao City, Longxi County, where he was light and simple, and quickly followed, leaving the army to rush forward. Within four days, he had arrived at Rensu. After another five days, he led 60,000 troops and was stationed in Longxi."

"In the following days, officials at all levels set out one by one. So far, except for Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties, some officials have not arrived, the rest have been taken office. More than 70% of the officials have reported all the civil customs and agricultural situations of the office, and the rest must have been on the way."

"Well, my fourth brother has always been the most diligent. If he guards Liangzhou, I can rest assured. As for Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places, the journey is long and the official road is disrepaired, and it is inconvenient to travel. It is reasonable that I cannot take office for a while. After the local area is stable, local officials will sort out government affairs and submit them to the court. The court will allocate funds to build roads to communicate with business and travel."

Among the brothers, if they were to let go, Liu He would be most at ease with Zhang Yong.

His circumference attributes are outstanding, with 90 commanders, 94 force, 89 intelligence, and 77 politics. They are simply one of the typical attributes of being a general and a minister. They are in charge of the frontier, charge on the battlefield, and govern one side. They are all good, and have a calm personality and open mind. Compared with Gao Shun, they are more generous and not scheming in their behavior. They are not as stern as Gao Shun, and they make almost no friends around them.

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and you will be blessed by God. You can destroy the thief bandits. The Han Dynasty will be revived for thousands of years. This is actually your Majesty's achievements."

Many ministers shouted in unison.

Liu He also enjoyed this remark very much.

As soon as the congratulations fell, a cry suddenly came from outside the hall: "Liangzhou urgently reported... The governor of Liangzhou has been expedited for 600 miles..."

Liu He felt a slap on the face. He just said that Liangzhou didn't have to worry, so he came to 600 miles to speed up.

"The fourth brother's personality actually uses 600 miles to speed up. What urgent matters can he have?"

Liu He waved to Gong Saner with an anxious face, and Gong Saner shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come to Xuanliangzhou to enter the hall!"

A man in military uniform ran in quickly. According to the court's rules, if there is an emergency report in the front or an emergency military service on the front line of the war, all the envoys who return to the court to report can enter the court without going to the court.

The envoy knelt down on the ground, holding a report from his hands over his head: "I heard from Your Majesty, a military force under the command of the pseudo-Emperor of Yizhou broke into Wudu County, and went up to Lu, down to Bian, Hechi, and the newly appointed county magistrate, county magistrate and county magistrate, had not yet arrived in the city, so he was driven by him. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses accompanied him to protect him to escape. The officials of the other counties received news halfway and did not dare to go to the post, and fled to Didao City to hide."

"Now the enemy has seized wheat from all over Wudu County, and has confiscated the families who resisted in each county, confiscated the money and food, and the male sects have become stronger for a while. Then the enemy's troops were divided into two groups, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and the other is stationed in Wududao."

When the man said these words, his tone was trembling. I don’t know if he was afraid of the emperor’s punishment or was shocked by the enemy general’s thunderous methods.

"There is such a talented person in Sichuan and Sichuan, which is located in a corner? This man has been leading a large army into Wudu for many days, but he can hide his whereabouts and not be discovered. Then when the wheat is ripe, the court officials suddenly rebelled. In just a few days, he completely controlled Wudu County. It was incredible to take such a quick and ruthless move."

Huangfu Song sighed repeatedly, his expression full of surprise.

Lu Zhi echoed: "Wudu County is nominally owned by Liangzhou, but its terrain is mostly similar to Shu, with ravines and mountains standing. From the north to Wudu County, there are only two roads, one is from Sili Youfufeng to Sanguan, and the other is from Longxi County or Hanyang County to seize Wudu Road, and then send troops to the entire county. This person must have entered Wudu County for a long time and has been able to explore the terrain clearly before he can make such a deployment, divide his troops to defend these two important roads, and rely on the geographical advantage and natural danger, it will be even more difficult for the court to march to attack."

"And this person was ready to seize wheat from all over the country to secede the imperial army for a long time. He had so much food and grass as the foundation. Even if the grain road in Sichuan and Sichuan was not connected, it would take as long as half a year or as long as a year, he would not have to worry about food and grass. Wudu County was not down, and the northern gateway of Yizhou was restless. Even if Wudu County was captured, there were mountains and mountains behind it, and there were many obstacles behind him, he could still go step by step, fight and retreat to consume the strength of the imperial army. This method was both offensive and defensive. It was a pity that such a good general had surrendered to serve the thief."

Cui Jun looked both angry and regretful.

Liu He looked unhappy. He had just obtained good news from Xuzhou, and Liangzhou had such a difficult problem. This Sichuan and Shu general has such a courageous and outstanding wisdom, which is indeed extremely difficult to deal with. No wonder even Zhang Yong had to use 600 miles to speed up.

"Who will the general of Yizhou... be?"

Liu He thought hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Is it him?"

He hurriedly asked your messenger, "Who can you find out about the enemy?"

"Go back to your Majesty, Sichuan and Shu are commanders with a general named Zhang Ren, and the two vanguards are Lei Tong and Ling Bao. Zhang Ren personally led 20,000 troops to take charge of Wududao, and led 15,000 troops to guard Sanguan."

"The incident happened suddenly and was so hasty and urgent again. It is rare for General Zhang to quickly find out the enemy's weaknesses and reality. I hope Your Majesty will not pursue General Zhang's crime."

Wang Yun said this "please" but many ministers cast a contemptuous look on him.

"Cheer sing..."

After reading Zhang Yong's urgent report, Liu He reached out to the bottom of the hall and pressed it quietly, and all the ministers calmed down.

"Mingwei mentioned in the report that he had personally led 50,000 troops from Longxi to the south, thinking that he was a real army and wanted to seize Wududao. He asked the court to send troops to attack Sanguan, thinking that the empty army was combined with the virtual army, so that the head and tail could not be taken care of each other. I wonder what the ministers thought?"

Xun You said: "General Zhang's move is reasonable and is the best strategy. I think it is feasible."

Seeing that Xun You agreed, Liu He no longer hesitated.

"Immediately Issued the order. I ordered General Zhu Ye, the Zhenxi general, to lead five hundred Thunder God Cavalry, and 10,000 infantry as the commander, and General Zhang He led three thousand halberd soldiers as the vanguard to attack Sanguan."
