Royal road

Chapter 315 The New Game

In July, the summer is over, but the weather has not turned cold.In the courtyard, the cicadas came and went one after another, making people upset.In such a scorching heat, we should try our best to cool off.However, in the soldier's office in front of him, not to mention the door, even the windows are closed and airtight, it seems that the people in the room don't care about the disturbing heat at all.

"These two months, can you rest well?" Zhang Bin asked casually.

Sitting opposite Zhang Bin was a man with an ordinary face who seemed to be of some barbarian blood.Hearing the inquiry from one of the best figures in the Governor's Mansion, he didn't look flattered in the slightest, and lazily said: "We are tired, so it's better to be comfortable in Pingyang."

"Among the members, you are the only one who feels this way, Shu Ming?" Zhang Bin couldn't help laughing.

The man in front of him, named Shen Da, courtesy name Shuming, was born in a poor family in Bingzhou.Because my mother was a Hu Ji, she was born with a Hu look.As usual, with such a background and appearance, he would not be able to be an official no matter what.However, by accident, he became the number one officer among the Xinling tribe.

It was also this person who sneaked into Pingyang under the pseudonym Zhi Mingfa and pretended to be a monk before.Liu Yuan was poisoned and Liu He was murdered secretly, causing the Xiongnu to lose two kings in a row. There was a great chaos, and they had to move their capital to avoid it!But now, he no longer looks like a monk. He wears a wig and a short beard. He looks more like a tired soldier. How can he have the heroic appearance of establishing invincible achievements?

Hearing Zhang Bin's words, Shen Da sat up straight: "Jianjun called me here, isn't it to talk about these trivial matters? I wonder when we will leave this time?"

Zhang Bin raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Where does Shu Ming think he is going this time?"

"Youzhou!" Shen Da answered very simply.

The Huns have already moved their capital to Chang'an, and with this move, Sizhou has the premise for stable development.But the enemies are still numerous.Chaos continued in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and Youzhou was entrenched in it, threatening the safety of Bingzhou and Jizhou.If you want to continue to expand your living space, you have to eliminate the powerful enemies on the side of the ring.

And these forces cannot be easily defeated.The easiest way is to use space!This is Shen Da's forte.After completing the lurking mission of the puppet Han, after returning to Bingzhou, he did not let go of his homework. He had already collected a lot of battle reports and the situation of the enemy, and he knew the situation in the surrounding states well.

Youzhou is different from other states and counties. Originally, when Wang Jun was still there, he was able to unify the ministries and hold Youzhou and Pingzhou firmly in his hands.But now, Wang Jun's body is dead and his family is wiped out. This huge territory lacks a powerful master, and there will definitely be another disturbance.At this time, if a knife is stabbed horizontally, I am afraid that it can achieve achievements no less than the civil strife of the puppet Han.

Facing those deep eyes that suddenly lit up, Zhang Bin smiled slightly: "Youzhou is indeed Xinling's next goal, but sending you there is really overkill. The place you are going this time is not far from Youzhou. Far……"

Hearing this, Shen Da thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Could it be that it's Pingzhou?"

Zhang Bin clapped his hands: "Shu Ming is really clever!"

Shen Da didn't pay attention to Zhang Bin's praise, at this moment, he only felt that his blood was getting hot.Pingzhou!This was even more fun than expected!

Pingzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of Wang Jun. At this time, it was Cui Wei, Wang Jun's wife and uncle, who served as the governor of the state and the captain of Dongyi.This son was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and his talents and courage are extraordinary.After Wang Jun's death, Youzhou fell into Duan Wuwuchen's hands, how could he be reconciled?Therefore, it is more powerful to provoke the two to attack and destroy the You and Ping alliance than to simply disrupt the Duanbu Xianbei's internal affairs.

Seeing Shen Da's enlightened appearance, Zhang Bin put away his smile, and said solemnly: "You and Ping prefectures, Xianbei is powerful. What Wang Jun relied on was to win over the various ministries and use his elite soldiers. Now the Duan Clan has suddenly emerged and become a leader. How can the rest of the ministries be reconciled to one party's big officials? Once there is chaos, an ambitious person like Cui Wu will inevitably take advantage of the fire. Why not worry about chaos? On the Tuoba tribe, Tuoba Lu's official died of illness, and Tuoba Yilu took the opportunity Tong and Tuoba Tripartites have established their forces. If the two states go to war, how can he remain indifferent?"

In a few words, Zhang Bin expressed his strategic vision.With so many forces fighting for nothing, it was a big game of chess.If it is used well, the Duan family may not be able to spare it for several years. Wouldn't the hidden danger of Bingzhou be solved easily?

However, Shen Da didn't nod immediately, but instead asked: "If so, who do you want to form an alliance with?"

Just chaos is not enough.In addition to the Tuoba tribe, they also had to find new allies.Only in this way can the benefits brought by the chaos be fully utilized.But who to choose is the question.Is it colluding with Cui Wei to suppress the three Xianbei?Or split the segment and use one of them?Different directions determine different means, how could Shen Da ignore it?

"You can choose the Murong family," Zhang Bin replied.

Shen Da frowned: "The Murong family and the Duan family have intermarried for generations, and they have a close relationship, so it may not be easy to provoke them."

The leaders of Murong Xianbei have married women from the Duan family for generations, and the relationship between the two is indeed strong.Picking them, doesn't seem like a good idea.

Zhang Bin sneered: "The Murong Department already had enmity with the Yuwen Department. In addition, last year Murong Xin proclaimed himself the Great Chancellor of Xianbei, and his intentions are clear. Can a mere woman stop her ambition? Besides, there is food in Liaodong."

When Shen Da heard it, he suddenly realized.Regardless of the bitter cold in Liaodong, the Murong Ministry does have a lot of food in its hands.As early as the second year of Yongning, four prefectures of Henan, Yan, Xu, and Ji were flooded, and Youzhou was also greatly affected. Murongxin opened a warehouse to help the people of Youzhou tide over the difficulties.This kind of handwriting cannot be done by people who are short of food.And passing through the Liaodong Kingdom is Goguryeo.Jizhou Haichuan has just purchased grain and grass from there, and the quantity is very large.

If calculated by distance, mastering the Liaodong grain road is even better than transporting grain from the south.After all, Jieshi is closer to Jizhou Xingang, and it is not threatened by Yangzhou.Once the Murong Ministry is prompted to attack Cui Wei and control Pingzhou, there will be an extra food road!

"The subordinate understands." A eager smile broke out, and Shen Da responded simply.

The task this time is even more complicated than that in Pingyang.But he has been studying vertical and horizontal techniques since he was a child, and what he longs for is to show his skills in troubled times!How dangerous was the situation that Su Qin and Zhang Yi faced in the six countries?And behind him, there is the hidden government office of Xinling.There is no shortage of human, material and financial resources, and there are also think tanks like Zhang Bin on the side.Wouldn't it be fun to hold hands and turn the clouds!

Seeing that Shen Da didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, Zhang Bin also felt relieved, and gave him some more careful instructions before letting him go back.Such a big event must be carefully prepared.New identities, new subordinates, new plans, which ones should not be carefully arranged?

After the people left, Zhang Bin took out another map and looked at it.Taking advantage of the turmoil in Yuzhou before, they sent troops to attack Cao Yi in Qingzhou, and they had already occupied a small part of the territory.Not surprisingly, Dongnae will be won next year.Then open up the ports near Liaodong, and the bay along the coast of Jizhou will occupy three ports.He was born in Zhao County and was not familiar with maritime affairs.But no one can underestimate the importance of shipping.

After the lord obeyed the new emperor, the relationship between Bingzhou and Yangzhou became closer.Sima Rui, the king of Langya, also wrote a letter in person, expressing that the canal can be opened up and the river transportation can be restarted.Inland river transportation is safer and more convenient than sea transportation. This alone can save Bingzhou countless money and food.

But such a show of favor did not make them take it lightly.Yangzhou, the north-south thoroughfare, is ultimately in the hands of Sima Rui.Once the two sides turn their faces, the lifeblood will fall into the hands of the enemy.This is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, Liaodong became the next target that must be captured.Not only can it solve the crisis in Youzhou, but it can also give Bingzhou multiple buffer places.Both Sizhou and Jizhou are important grain producing areas in the North.As long as it takes several years of careful management, why worry about Ding Liangtian?

A lot of thoughts welled up in his chest, Zhang Bin couldn't help getting up, and wanted to talk to the lord in detail.However, as soon as he took a step, he stamped his feet in embarrassment.Today, the lord is probably not in the governor's mansion.

Shaking his head, Zhang Bin sat back to his original place.No one is perfect, so what is this small hindrance compared to talent and greatness?

■

In the west of the city, a mansion has just been repaired.The place is remote and there are no tall gates nearby.In addition, the national funeral has not yet passed, and the big and small banquets should stop.Therefore, when the new mansion was completed, there were not many guests, and the courtyard seemed a little deserted.

However, if someone saw the two strolling in the courtyard, they would be taken aback.

"Fortunately, the house is not big. If it gets bigger, you won't have enough servants in the courtyard." Liang Feng walked through the empty courtyard, shaking his head and chuckling.

Although a mansion has been prepared for Yiyan long ago.However, there have been frequent wars in the past few months, and the emperor died and a new emperor was established.Where is the time to move?Now that they have finally moved, Liang Feng naturally wants to come over to have a look.Anyway, this place is not far from Huai'en Temple, and the car is light and simple, but not many people pay attention to it.

"As long as there are enough servants. If there are too many servants, it will be inconvenient for the lord." Yiyan followed Liang Feng closely, and replied softly.

Liang Feng's teeth became sore.What is his inconvenience?Is this looking forward to living here every day?However, he didn't pay attention to this level of teasing, and directly changed the subject: "Those guards, are they veterans?"

Many of the nurses in charge of the hospital are disabled.However, these cripples who looked terrifying to others, in Liang Feng's eyes, had a distinct imprint of the military.Probably they were all disabled soldiers on the battlefield, who were recruited by Yi Yan.

"Well, some people don't want to go home. I arranged things for them." Yiyan explained.

The Wounded Soldiers who have retreated from the army now basically go two ways.Those who are slightly injured and disabled and do not affect their work can be dispatched to counties and counties to maintain law and order and train troops.Those who were seriously injured and disabled were mostly given pensions to the farmers and let them go home.However, not everyone can adapt to the life of being retired from the army, especially those close to Yiyan who were born and died.After entering the general's mansion, at least he can still follow the coach.And as Yiyan's title rose higher and higher, not everyone can look down on these servants.It's a good way out.

Liang Feng nodded: "It's fine if they're all accompanying you."

Just as he was about to step through the porch, Yiyan suddenly stretched out his hand: "My lord, this way please."

This mansion was bought by him, could it be that there are other ways?Liang Feng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't refuse. He turned around the side door shaded by trees and walked into another courtyard.

Seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly, Liang Feng's eyes lit up: "You arranged this? Not bad!"

I saw a small pergola standing beside the pool full of lotus.The shed is nothing, but the strange thing is that it is covered with grape vines, and most of them hang fruit.A bunch of plump grapes, just looking at them makes people move their index fingers.Grapes have just arrived from the Western Regions these days, and the price of fine varieties is not cheap.

"My lord likes it, I found it on purpose. The lotus root in the pond can be eaten in a few days, and the stew is just right." Yiyan is used to Liangfu's small cooks, so he naturally knows what Liang Feng likes.

"Others are admiring the flowers and scenery, but you just think about eating it. It's really like burning the piano and cooking the crane..." Halfway through the speech, Liang Feng couldn't help laughing, "Let's pick the lotus pods first, the taste is not bad when eaten raw."

Compared with the group of scholars who want to compose poems when they see beautiful scenery, to be honest, Yiyan's temperament is more to his appetite.It's okay to pretend to be elegant in front of people, but you can do whatever you want in the queen.

Yiyan took no notice of it, and led the people into the shed.A cool couch has been set up inside, and a chess table is also placed.I don't know if it was prepared in advance, but the cicadas could not be heard in the courtyard, only the blue waves and green vines, which made people forget the customs.

"It would be better to have a rocking chair." Liang Feng leaned on the couch without any image, and let out a long sigh.

In the past few months, he has been too busy to touch the ground.After finally stealing a day of leisure, I really can't cheer up.At this moment, the benefits of this small mansion are revealed.There are few people and clean, not to mention servants, there is not even a servant girl inside and outside the courtyard, plus the doorway covered by green shade, it is simply a peaceful cave.

Yiyan sat beside him casually: "As long as the Lord likes it, you can arrange it according to your heart."

The two were so close that their breath seemed to be in their ears.

"Oh? Do you think this mansion is another house?" The other house is a place to hide your beauty.This is quite a joke.

"As long as my lord doesn't forget about the people in the house." Yi Yan also laughed, the laughter gradually weakened and disappeared into his lips and tongue.

The wind blows over the pergola, the green leaves are swaying, and the fruity fragrance is tangy.
