Chapter 666 - Wanting to Benefit the State
The appearance of the Jixia Wine Store and the Jixia Morning News caused a lot of turmoil in Pusaka City, and many foreign scholars also came to visit it.
In particular, the Kishita Morning Newspaper has become the hottest thing in Kasaka today.
Of course, not everyone can buy the Jixia Morning Post, not to mention that the price of ten yuan a copy is not very cheap, and the limited circulation of the Jixia Morning Post alone cannot meet the market demand.
Rao is like this, the capital is still concentrated with all kinds of talents, from celebrities and scholars to Confucians, down to peddlers and pawns, almost all of them go to Jixia wine shops to make speeches.
For a time, the academic atmosphere in Guanzhong became more and more intense.
And Chen Xu himself also successfully took advantage of this incident to slowly divert the attention of the scholars and began to manipulate public opinion.
Although some people criticized Wen Zhao's tyranny on the stage of the Jixia Wine Shop Debate, they were quickly drowned out by the saliva of other students.
After months of turmoil, Guanzhong has become stable again, since Kong Rong was killed, the blood of the students was splashed in the General's Mansion, and Yang Biao was dismissed from office, few people in the court dared to propose the matter of the Son of Heaven's pro-government.
Subsequently, Cheng Yu and others repeatedly asked Wen Zhao to be crowned the duke, but they were all refused.
Wen Zhao believes that now the world is undecided, and the princes are together, so he said that the public will definitely be condemned by the rest of the princes, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing that the persuasion did not move, the crowd finally had to give up.
However, since then, all the military and political power in the entire Guanzhong has been completely controlled by Wen Zhao.
Although Wen Zhao is still kind to the Son of Heaven, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Xie has become a real puppet, and the Son of Heaven is also extremely helpless, but he dares to be angry but does not dare to speak.
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is the autumn of the sixth year of Jian'an.
During this time, the people in the two counties of Hanoi County and Henan Yin County were once again partially relocated to Hedong County.
There were also troops and horses transferred in several places in the entire Guanzhong, among which Hao Zhao, who was stationed in Sanguan, was transferred to Jiguan, and Chen Qing was transferred to Hangu Pass, each leading 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the pass.
As for the current Sanguan, it was garrisoned by Gan Ning with the Guanzhong Navy and 10,000 elite troops.
After Zhang Liao's attack on Youzhou was frustrated, Wen Zhao not only did not reprimand him, but instead asked him to lead his troops to garrison Yanmen County to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking. As for Chen Hu, he was recalled to Pusaka.
However, after the autumn harvest, Wen Zhao convened the military affairs under his command, and Tian Feng came out of the class to play: "Yizhou is the country of heaven, but its lord Liu Zhang is very weak, not a defender of the city, this God gives Yizhou to Ming Gongye." ”
"Now that there is enough grain and grass and the morale of the soldiers is high, it is the best time to conquer Yizhou in the south. Why didn't the Duke of Ming raise a large army and seize the land of Bashu, thinking that he was the capital of the king? ”
As soon as Tian Feng's voice fell, the rest of the strategists said yes, and the generals in Guanzhong also asked for battle.
Chen Xu has long had the intention of destroying Shu, and he has coveted this country of abundance for a long time. At the beginning, Liu Bei was able to use the land of one state, and the world was divided into one, which shows how rich Yizhou is.
The total population of Yizhou was nearly 7 million, and excluding the land of Hanzhong occupied by Wen Zhao, the number of people under Liu Zhang's rule was nearly 6 million.
In troubled times, population is the most important resource, even if it is just for the huge population base of Yizhou, Wen Zhao is willing to do his best to fight.
What's more, among the princes today, only Liu Zhang is the weakest and easy to deal with. If Wen Zhao wants to expand his strength again, Nanzheng Yizhou will also be the best choice.
As long as Yizhou can be defeated, Wenzhao's strength can be expanded by at least half; At that time, even if the princes of the world rose up to attack Chen together, Wen Zhao was confident that he would be able to fight.
Therefore, no matter from any aspect, it is imperative to attack Yizhou.
Wen Zhao saw that everyone supported the southern expedition, and immediately became arrogant, and said: "Since this is the case, send someone to write a crusade against the army, and attack Yizhou with troops!" ”
The generals responded violently, and Lu Bu said even more excitedly: "If you want to be a pioneer, you will behead Liu Zhang!" ”
Zhao Yun and others also asked for battle, even Dian Wei was no exception.
Attacking Yizhou is a big deal, and the vanguard general will definitely be able to get a lot of credit.
Therefore, even if Zhao Yun is quiet and steady, he can't sit still.
At this time, Dian Wei also completely forgot about his role as the commander of Wen Zhao's personal army.
Every man is eager to make a career on the battlefield, and Dian Wei is naturally no exception, although he has not complained at all since he was the commander of Wen Zhao's own army.
But in this magnificent war, he also wanted to leave a strong mark.
Seeing that the generals were competing for the lead, Wen Zhao was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "There are tigers like you in the pass, why worry about the big thing?" However, the vanguard generals of the southern expedition this time have already had a plan in my heart, so there is no need to fight again. ”
"This attack on Yizhou is by no means something that can be completed overnight, so why should you worry about not being able to take credit?"
When the generals heard this, they gave up, but Lu Bu was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it.
The seizure of Yizhou, Wen Zhao had already begun to lay out a long time ago.
Whether it was the 50,000 elite Guanzhong soldiers left in Hanzhong, or the appointment of Xu Huang as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Yan Pu as the county Cheng, and Dong Zhao as the long history, this was all Wen Zhao's preparation for the attack on Yizhou.
The generals who acted as pioneers this time were none other than Xu Huang and Gan Ning.
Lu Bu and the generals are not stupid people, although they have already guessed this ending, they still can't help but fight for it.
Especially Lu Bu, although the relationship between him and Gan Ning has eased a little under the mediation of Wen Zhao, it is impossible to shake hands after all.
When he knew that Gan Ning would become one of the pioneers, Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied in his heart.
The matter of the southern conquest of Yizhou was finalized, and Wen Zhao began to dispatch troops, while playing the Son of Heaven, one day let people write a crusade against Liu Zhang.
When the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court and the central government learned that Wen Zhao intended to attack Yizhou, their faces changed greatly.
Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang is no other, but an authentic Han clan relative, and now Chen Xu has raised troops to attack Liu Zhang for no reason, which is somewhat unacceptable to the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials.
However, in the face of Wen Zhao, who was unprecedentedly powerful and had already embarked on the road of power, even though the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials were dissatisfied, they had to succumb to his obscenity.
The crusade was written by Tian Feng, in which Liu Yan, the father of Liu Zhang, was counted, saying that he had long been anti-minded; Liu Zhang himself even withheld the offerings of the Son of Heaven every year, intending to plot misdeeds.
This is called: What is the trouble of wanting to add sin?
What's more, Liu Yan really wanted to be worthy of his plot at the beginning, and even ordered someone to take a car weighing more than 1,000 people, wanting to be the emperor. But not long after, he fell ill and died.
Therefore, Wen Zhao's enumeration of Liu Zhang's father and son's crimes is not groundless.
Just when Wen Zhao finished reorganizing the army and was about to go south, suddenly an urgent report from Hanzhong came, Wen Zhao opened the letter and read it, and was shocked, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to come to discuss the matter.
