The royal driver's personal conquest of Jiaozhou is just a one-sentence thing, but it is a long journey and many difficulties to do.
Not to mention that the south is full of miasma and mosquitoes are rampant, even if it is a flat river, with a smooth river and a tailwind, from Jinling to Jiaozhi, a rough calculation of the distance of about 4,400 miles, according to the calculation of the distance of 100 miles a day of the mixed team of horse and foot, it will take more than three months just to go back and forth.
If we take into account the opening of roads and bridges on the journey, sheltering from the wind and rain, and pacifying the people, then the time consumed on the journey will be even longer.
But Liu Wei didn't care and was fearless.
Qin Shi Huang once toured the world six times, covering the land of China, from north to south, from west to east; From Ningxia and Gansu in the west to Penglai and Mount Tai in the east, from Youyan in the north to Jiaozhou Baiyue in the south, from Qinhuangdao and Shanhaiguan in the north to Guilin and the South China Sea in the south, the footprints are all over the north and south of the river, and the journey is tens of thousands of miles.
Truly achieved "show the prestige of the frontier and serve the sea", this is the real emperor's posture, and being an emperor is like this Therefore, Liu Wei also asked himself to be like Qin Shi Huang, to walk through the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty in his lifetime, as long as the Han Dynasty pointed to the place, he would go to see the splendid rivers and mountains, so as to live up to the emperor's ambition Standing in front of the majestic Tai Chi Hall, overlooking the water of the Yangtze River and the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Liu Wei in the spring breeze is full of pride and enthusiasm, and he can't help but have the urge to sing a song.
"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north.
The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost.
The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, Twenty years of vertical and horizontal, who can resist Hatred is mad, and the long knife is directed How many siblings are buried in their bones What a pity to die to repay the country, I couldn't bear to sigh, but I was even more speechless, and my eyes were full of blood and tears The horse's hooves go south, and the people look north People look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying.
I will defend the land and reopen the territory, The dignified man will let those eight directions come to court" The road to the southern expedition should certainly be angry with Xiaohan, but it is even more necessary to arrange the aftermath after the royal conquest to ensure that the rear is calm, so that we can let go of our hands and feet without worries, bury the invading Kushan army in the land of Dahan, and let the 250,000 Kushan army have no return.
"Can our carrier pigeons be put into use on a large scale now?"
Liu Wei shook his cloak and asked Li Yuanfang with his hands behind his back.
The pigeon is agile, vigilant, and has a super memory, so the princes in Chinese history began to use carrier pigeons to communicate at the end of the Warring States period, which greatly improved the speed of communication.
But there are pros and cons to using pigeons to communicate, the advantage is that the speed of information transmission is fast, a carefully selected and specially trained super carrier pigeon can have an effective memory of more than 1,200 kilometers, and can fly a distance of 8,900 kilometers a day, which can improve the communication efficiency by three times compared to the 800 miles of relay relay day and night.
However, the disadvantage of carrier pigeons is also obvious, that is, when flying over enemy territory, it is easy to expose the target, and after being shot down by enemy sharpshooters, it will reveal secrets.
Therefore, the princes of the world will use it according to the situation, and the letters that are not too important but need to be urgent will be delivered by carrier pigeons, which are related to the survival of the country, and the letters that need to be highly confidential can only be delivered by fast horses.
Since Liu Wei established Jinyiwei a few years ago, he ordered Li Yuanfang to search for pigeon prodigies and trained more than 1,000 excellent carrier pigeons.
However, during the previous war, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Cao Cao and other princes were intertwined, and the carrier pigeons often crossed the enemy territory, increasing the risk of leaking secrets, so the carrier pigeons of the Eastern Han Dynasty have not been put into use on a large scale.
But this time the southern conquest of Jiaozhou, the entire territory was under the rule of the Han Dynasty, thousands of miles were all the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the often chaotic Shanyue was basically obedient to the constraints of the imperial court under the continuous suppression.
It can be said that the risk of leaking news from carrier pigeons has been basically minimized and can already be put into use.
With carrier pigeons transmitting information back and forth, this will make it very convenient for Liu Wei to grasp the situation in the north, the Central Plains, and the court, quickly and efficiently strategize, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, which is also one of the reasons why Liu Wei did not hesitate to decide to conquer Jiaozhou in the south.
Li Yuanfang bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the flying pigeon battalion under Jinyiwei has been on standby for a long time, and there are currently 256 long-range carrier pigeons, 438 medium-range carrier pigeons, and 599 short-range carrier pigeons, all of which are healthy and unharmed, and can carry out the task of transmitting intelligence at any time. ” Liu Wei nodded: "Immediately send the flying pigeon battalion to set up monitoring and acceptance stations in important market towns along the way, and start the flying pigeon transmission within half a month, and contact the connection between Jiaozhou and Jinling, there must be no mistakes."
"No" Li Yuanfang agreed.
With Li Yuanfang's order, one hundred and ten Jinyi guards dressed in Fan Yangli, wearing flying fish suits, and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists went out of the city overnight, galloping south amid the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and setting up stations to monitor carrier pigeons and provide food and drink at important stations along the way.
Liu Wei also told Zheng He and Li Yuanfang: "After I set out on the expedition, you are not allowed to let anyone open the letter sent back to Qianyang Palace from the south, and you must wait for all the seven ministers to be present before opening it. ” "No" "The Slave Obeys" Li Yuanfang and Zheng He bent down together to receive the order, but they didn't quite understand what the position of the Seven Great Ministers of Destiny was, but they didn't dare to ask more.
Returning to the imperial study room of the Linde Hall from the Taiji Palace, Liu Bianti raised his pen and ink, continuously issued holy decrees, dispatched troops, and sent troops to the south to Jiaozhou.
"Jiaozhou has rugged mountain roads, jungles all over the place, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, if Kong Ming can make wooden oxen and horses, it will greatly reduce the transportation pressure of our army."
Liu Wei weighed it and decided to let Chen Ping go to the west of Jingzhou to replace Zhuge Liang, and let Zhuge Liang lead Zhao Yun's troops and horses to the south from Jiangling, through Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and other places to advance to Jiaozhou, echoing the army under his command, and marching in two directions.
Chen Ping, who had been summoned, came to the Lin De Hall overnight to listen to the dispatch, and Liu Wei told him: "If you talk about the level of separation, Chen Qing is better than me, you go to Shangyong to replace Kong Ming this time."
First, he and Zhang Liao assisted Guan Yu in attacking Shangyong and Hanzhong, second, they wanted to always separate the brotherhood between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, and third, they wanted to make the soldiers under Guan Yu's command completely disappointed in Liu Bei. ” Chen Ping smiled and took the order: "Your Majesty's plan of discord has made Guan Yu and Liu Bei suspicious, and they are almost facing each other, and the minister must not dishonor his mission if he goes."
Last summer, Guan Yu rode alone from Bashu and beheaded six generals under Liu Yu, but he was also shot by Shi Wengong with a poisoned arrow, but fortunately, Sun Simiao and Zhang Zhongjian helped scrape the bones to cure the poison, and it took more than four months to fully recover.
After Guan Yu recovered from his injury, it was already November, Shangyong and Hanzhong had cold weather, Guan Yu led his troops to attack Shangyong several times, and was designed by Zhu Sheng and Han Sui, Zhang Dingbian and Wei Wentong bravely carried it to the death, and did not gain an inch of land.
After that, he entered the coldest wax moon, the armor was bone-deep, and the horns and arches were difficult to control.
Guan Yu had no choice but to retreat and return to Fangling, and it was not too late to fight again after the weather warmed up.
At the beginning of the first month of this year, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying gave birth to a son Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Liang went back to his hometown Xiangyang for a few days to visit his infant son and Huang Yueying.
So this year, Guan Yu has not launched an attack on Shangyong, but Liu Wei decided to replace Zhuge Liang with Chen Ping at this moment.
With a stroke of his pen, Liu Wei ordered Chen Ping to rush to Fangling with the holy decree, appointing Zhuge Liang as the chief general of the Western Route Army and Zhao Yun as the deputy general, leading Cheng Yanjin, Yang Youji, He Qi and other three generals to raise the 40,000 troops under Zhao Yun's command, and then transfer 10,000 horses from Xiangyang and Jiangling to make up 50,000.
Keri set off south, marched from Jingnan to Jiaozhou, and cooperated with the Eastern Route Army to give the Guishan army a head-on attack, striving to completely annihilate the invading enemy army, so that the 250,000 Qin army would not return.
"Wechen Farewell" Chen Ping threw himself to the ground, received the holy decree, led more than 100 followers, quickly whipped his horse, and left Jinling City overnight, galloping towards Jingzhou.
At present, the situation in Youzhou and Wancheng is in a stalemate, and Liu Wei believes that before his division returns to the dynasty, with the strength of Yue Fei's army and Li Jing's army, it will be able to hold it.
There is no need to worry about the situation in the west and the north, you can rest assured that you will march south.
In the Bashu region and Yunnan, due to the warm weather, there has been a fierce battle throughout the winter.
Zhang Fei and Pang Tong led 60,000 Shu troops to the south to conquer Yunnan, and ordered Pang Juan and Zhang Qing to join Shi Dakai as the vanguard, and went south to fight against Yang Huai and Gao Pei who responded to Liu Yu.
At this time, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong received the news of a fire in the rear.
Just half a month after Zhang Fei and Pang Tong's southern expedition, Liu Yu, Liu Zhang, Liu Xun, father and son, led Cheng Gongying, Liu Yu, and Ling Bao to raise 50,000 troops; With Zhao Kuangyin, Chang Yuchun led by Hu Yanqing, Yang Ren, Yang Bai, Zhang Wei and other generals, raised 50,000 troops, jointly marched, advanced to Bashu, all the way to the lock, and quickly attacked to the city of Zitong.

Liu Bei was shocked, and personally led Fa Zheng, Yan Yan, Wu Yi, Lei Tong and others to rescue Zitong, but was defeated by Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Yu's combined forces, losing more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. hastily gave up Zitong, retreated to Fuxian, and recruited Fu Youde and Wu Sangui to help in the war.
The Chengdu Plain is rich and prosperous, with fertile water and soil, and is naturally not comparable to the barren Yunnan.
After Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng received the news of the fire in the rear, they hurriedly retreated, and Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Yonghong and others took the opportunity to counterattack, and recaptured all the territories recovered by Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng left Shi Dakai and Wu Banzhen to guard the pass in the south of Yizhou, block the pursuing soldiers, and then led the men and horses back to Chengdu and went to Fuxian to support Liu Bei.
Seeing Liu Bei on fire in the north and south, Zhu Di, who was left by Zhu Yuanzhang to sit in Liangzhou, couldn't bear the loneliness, and ordered Li Wenzhong, as well as Zhang Ji, the old general of Dong Zhuo who had surrendered, to raise 20,000 troops and march to Bashu from Lintao and Qiangdao, in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie.
All of a sudden, the melee in Bashu was better than that in the north, and Liu Bei, who was pushed by everyone on the wall, was attacked by a group, even if he was assisted by Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, and Fang Xuanling, he was too busy to take care of himself, and it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself, let alone take revenge on Liu Wei.
Therefore, there is no need for Liu Wei to worry about the situation in the southwest, and he can concentrate on marching into Jiaozhou.
The next morning, Liu Wei said to the ministers in the Taiji Palace: "The crown prince Liu Qi has been listening to the government since he ascended to the court last winter, but he is still young and difficult to resist.
I am afraid that I will not be able to return for a year and a half, so I decided to appoint seven ministers to assist the crown prince and preside over the government."
"Servants obey orders" After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, all the civil and military forces held the wat board in their hands and threw it away, not knowing who could get the honor of the minister of Gu Ming t1706231537:
