Several people discussed for a long time, some wanted to fight, some opposed, and it was difficult to gather a consensus.

From Liu Zhang's heart, he did have some impulses to send troops again. The battle of Weishui made him hold his breath in his heart, and he panicked when he thought about it. There must be another hearty victory to completely eradicate it, otherwise after a long time, I will have to be fucking depressed. It's a bit like gambling, where you lose once and want to win it back right away. The most important thing is Liangzhou, he has been a Liangzhou pastor for a year, but his name has not been true, the problem of Liangzhou is not solved, Liu Zhang is always worried, and the tea and rice are not fragrant.

At present, Yan Xing threw out this plan, which is still very attractive to Liu Zhang.

The problem of Liangzhou always has to be solved.

However, because of the lesson from the last time, Liu Zhang also had to suppress the impulse in his heart.

This plan does have a lot of problems.

But on the other hand, if it's okay, it's hard to attract the other party.

It's a dilemma.

"Teacher, you often teach your disciples not to take risks, don't take risks, but I see that you have been more and more fond of taking risks recently. In the past, it was okay to pacify Nanzhong, but last year when the Xiongnu attacked in the north, you dared to send troops to more than 100,000 Huns, what was the result? I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, and if I make a mistake, it will cost countless lives. Now the three armies in Hanzhong are not fully established, most of them are still recruits, and many of the equipment is not neat, how can they send troops?

The most important point is that it is reported that the Western Liang Ma Teng Department has recently recruited a lot of Hu people and formed a Hu people battalion, many of whom are Hu people from the Western Regions. Its tactics are different from those of the Central Plains, and they are mostly armored, and it is said that they have a very strong ability to break the formation. In addition, Han Sui's department also recruited some of the old units of the Xiliang Legion, and also formed a heavy cavalry battalion, all of which were prepared for our army. However, looking back at our army, the equipment pedal/crossbow that can suppress the heavy equipment has not been completely finalized so far, and there is not much chance of winning at this time. ”

Pang Long's words completely woke up Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang finally remembered that the Xiliang Ma family army was not easy to mess with, and it was rumored that there seemed to be some Roman phalanx from Western Rome. When Cao Cao conquered Xiliang, he was defeated in successive battles, and was killed by Ma Chao to lose his armor, and Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry couldn't stop the Ma family's army's charge, not to mention that they were all infantry.

Liu Zhang finally suppressed the urge to send troops to find Ma Teng and Han Sui's bad luck, and sent someone to inform Yan Xing that the plan was canceled.

"You're really not going to send troops? What a good opportunity, a certain family has been preparing for your previous sentence for so long, and you give up when you say give up, it's too irresponsible, right? After Yan Xing received the news, he immediately came over to find Liu Zhang's theory.

"In terms of the art of war, winning with odds and matching with righteousness, your plan is good, but it is also a surprise plan, and the plan is very imperfect, not only can not guarantee that Ma Teng, Han Sui and others will be surrounded and left, but also cannot guarantee the safety of our army. This plan is too imperfect, the main generals of our army are against it, and I just want to send troops, but it is also difficult to convince everyone. ”

"It's not what you said, as long as there is a preset battlefield, it's okay, and now that you are given a preset battlefield, you are pushing back, do you still want to recover Liangzhou?" Yan Xing expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang's capricious behavior.

Liu Zhang also had no choice, the operational characteristics of the new army had been thoroughly exposed, the advantages and disadvantages were too obvious, and others were not fools, and they would definitely be able to quickly find corresponding countermeasures. Everyone is improving, and it is not feasible to deal with it in the old way.

In addition, there has been a shortage of migrant workers in Hanzhong recently, and a large number of factories and workshops have been stimulated by demand and need a large number of migrant workers, and the instability of Liangzhou has provided a large number of migrant workers for Hanzhong and even the entire Shuzhong. Therefore, this weakened Liu Zhang's enthusiasm for solving the Liangzhou problem from the other side.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Zhang has no confidence in himself now, and he has no confidence in the new army.

"Do you want a long-term Liangzhou, or do you just want to kill people and take revenge?"

Yan Xing didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask like this, and thought for a while: "Of course, a certain family wants the governor of Liangzhou to be stable for a long time, but what a certain wants most is to take revenge, whether the governor of Liangzhou is stable for a long time or not, that's your business." ”

"It's easy to take revenge, but it's very difficult to stay in peace for the governor. Even if our army can win by luck for a while, if it can't gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, it will soon be beaten back to Shuzhong, just like last time. The situation in Liangzhou is complicated, Hu and Han live together, if the knife in his hand is not sharp enough, and the preparation is not complete, it can only make Liangzhou more chaotic and make the people suffer more.

Think about it, when a war starts, the warlords, big and small, don't take advantage of the people one more time?

Therefore, instead of always making small fights and making the people suffer all the time, it is better to prepare for more time and solve it all at once. ”

"Hmph, you always have a reason to have a reason, you are a pastor in Liangzhou, and you can rest assured that your people will suffer? Tell me the truth, when will we be able to send troops? Yan Xing is becoming more and more disappointed with Liu Zhang, this kid won't be scared last time in the Weishui battle, right?

"One year at the earliest, three years at the most. I promise you that within three years, Liangzhou will be recovered and the warlords and warlords will be completely eliminated. Liu Zhang once again swore and promised.

"Forget it, a certain family will believe you again. I hope you can remember what you said today. Yan Xing's words were a little lost.

Liu Zhang suddenly wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

"Actually, that, revenge and the like, are also in a hurry, and there is no need to keep it in mind all the time. For example, I think you have heard that my father died suddenly in February last year, and for a long time, I was thinking about revenge. However, later I also figured out that revenge is important, but the living are more important. I don't know what you've been through, the dead are gone, and the happiness of the living is the most important thing. Killing and killing will not solve the problem. ”

"Hmph, don't worry about something, just take care of yourself." Yan Xing snorted, jumped out of the window, and walked over the wall.

Alas, you can't reason with a madman.

Liu Zhang could only go by him.

Chengdu.

A certain family's study.

"Liu Zhang'er, I have finally taken this step, I am going to issue a large number of money coupons, and there is finally a real place for me in Shuzhong."

"Yes, in the past, when we wanted to get some money coupons, we could only buy them from the untouched people for a large price, but now we can also get a lot of money coupons through gold and silver. With money coupons, there is a place for us to wait in Shuzhong. ”

"Well, Liu Zhang used money coupons to cut off our control over some goods, including food, wine, paper, tea, etc., and now that money coupons are issued in large quantities, he can no longer do whatever he wants as before. What we have in our hands is gold and silver, and it is easy to get a large amount of money and coupons, and with money, we can hoard a large number of in-demand goods, and it is possible to control the commerce of Shuzhong left and right. ”

"Yes, Liu Zhang used to cut off our control over the economic lifeline of Shuzhong through money and food stamps, and I don't want him to be confused again now, so he let go by himself. I heard that Hu Cao has set up two new subordinate agencies, called the Financial Authority and the Food Management Bureau, and we should pay more attention to these two institutions. ”

"I couldn't wait for the strength before, but now I can finally use the energy. It's time to do a big job. ”

"In addition to the six Cao and the two offices, in fact, the most important thing is the school, and the children of our families should enter the school as much as possible. Only by controlling the academy can we truly control Yizhou. ”

"That's going to be hard. The real core of the university is actually the various research institutes, and more than ninety percent of the various patents in Shu are from various research institutes. And what the research institute needs is real ingenuity, not relying on more people and more money. ”

"Even if it's hard, you have to do it. Haven't you noticed that the core and core of Yizhou is actually Chengdu University. Governments at all levels, commercial patents, and military generals all come from Chengdu universities. If you can't control Chengdu University, you can't talk about controlling Yizhou at all.
