Chapter 365 Liu Tao's Goal
"Lord, Luoyang's urgent report is sent back... Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju from the same county rebelled!" One day in March, an urgent report from Luoyang broke the ordinary life.
Like history, Zhang Wen planned to transfer three thousand Wuhuan cavalry as reinforcements. According to the information, Zhang Chun was in the army at that time, so he volunteered to be a general. Zhang Wen should be worried that Zhang Chun would be as difficult as Dong Zhuo to control, so he did not agree.
At the same time, Gongsun Zan was transferred as a general and commanded the cavalry. However, Zhang Chun was unhappy and felt that this cavalry was formed and trained by himself. Why should he give it to others? It was also possible that he realized that the war situation was in a hurry and the chaos in the world had become something, so he rebelled.
Thinking about it, Zhang Wen did not mobilize the border troops nearby in Bingzhou to support him, but instead wanted to mobilize the army in Youzhou, which gave people a little illusion: Is there no soldiers available in the court? Now that the army is on the rise, is there no one to stop me?!
Zhang Chun didn't know that Zhang Wen did not dispatch troops in Bingzhou, but he just didn't have the face to transfer Liu Tao's troops to the place. After all, he was the one who rushed Liu Tao back, and now he wanted someone else to come again. Regardless of whether Liu Tao was willing to come or not, he couldn't speak.
It can only be said that insufficient information led to Zhang Chun's wrong judgment and ultimately led to rebellion.
"If you say this..." Liu Tao felt a little depressed, "The reason why Zhang Chun rebelled has such a causal relationship with me?!"
"If this person can rebel, then naturally there is no loyalty in his heart. If he does not rebel now, he will not be able to rebel in the future, and there is no need to worry about his brother." Lu Yan came forward to comfort him after hearing this.
"The current focus should be the current situation in Youzhou." Xun Yu came forward, "It will take about five days for the news over there to be transmitted to Luoyang by local officials. And when the imperial court receives the news and then passes it over, it will take about five to six days."
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and no one knows how far the rebellion has been carried out.
The information transmission in this era is really the most criticized place. If you want to know the situation of one place, sometimes you need another place to transfer, and you don’t know how much time is wasted during this period.
It is said that sending messages from Youzhou and Jizhou should be faster, at least five or six days faster than transiting through Luoyang. However, there must be a caravan, which just happens to know about this matter, and then mention it when you come.
There are only two ways to get the message:
First of all, with Yunzhong County as the center, the official roads and post stations were built, and then the front-line news was continuously collected through the post transmission system. That's what Luoyang does at present, and its location can get news from all over the country as quickly as possible.
This is also one of the reasons why Luoyang replaced Chang'an and became the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Then a large number of caravans can be formed to tame the carrier pigeons, and through caravans from south to north, as well as a large number of intelligence personnel, we can understand the situation across the country, and quickly transmit messages through the carrier pigeons...
These two methods have one thing in common, that is, they are both national projects. If local forces want to do this, they can only take it slowly within their own sphere of influence. At the same time, investment in intelligence costs will occupy a part of the fiscal revenue.
When it is truly established, the speed of obtaining news is definitely the fastest in this era. At least it will not appear. For example, when the news just came from Luoyang, the enemy had already come from Youzhou and surrounded Yunzhong County...
"There is no need to worry about us. The thieves cannot come so quickly. Their uprising in Yuyang County means that Yuyang County, Youbeiping and Guangyang County are the main directions of their attack. I guess they can't hit us." Liu Tao replied.
I would like to thank Ke Bineng here. The sphere of influence is Dai County and Shanggu County. This means that if the thieves want to come to Bingzhou, they must first pass by Ke Bineng's territory. Zhang Chun or Qiu Liju, do you have the courage to fight against Ke Bineng? Of course it is impossible!
At least in the history that Liu Tao is familiar with, the rebels did not even enter Shanggu County to rob. There was nothing to rob there. It might be more rewarding than going west and south into Jizhou to rob...
"Then should we go over and suppress the rebellion?" Zhang Fei was ready to go and was idle for more than a year. Although he fought with Lu Bu from time to time, he still did not charge in the end.
Perhaps because of this, he is twenty-two years old this year, and his martial arts are much better than those of him in the same period in history. He was in his growth period and did not run around with Liu Bei. There were Lu Bu and Huang Zhong on it, so he naturally worked hard to improve his martial arts. He even read military strategies when he had time, intending to surpass Lu Bu in commanding the army.
In other words, Zhang Fei's current military literacy should be far superior to him at the same time in history. Of course, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, and even all the generals under Liu Tao, obviously have significantly improved their strength.
After all, everyone's current environment is very stable and there is no trivial matter to delay their progress. At the same time, they also know Liu Tao's ultimate goal, so they will not be content with the status quo, and even want to perform better, make greater contributions, and then climb higher!
"We don't need to move at all." Liu Tao replied, "From the result of maximizing interests, you just need to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight! This turmoil will not last long, and you don't even need to attack specifically..."
Gongsun Zan attacked him, and then went deeper alone, which eventually led to defeat. The result of the rebellion was very dramatic. At that time, Liu Yu, Xuanhong, Zhang Chun and others, so Wuhuan and even the Xianbei people were ready to move. Under pressure, Qiu Liju actually surrendered voluntarily. Zhang Chun was even more miserable and was killed by his disciple Wang Zheng. Zhang Ju was forced to escape from the frontier and his whereabouts were unknown.
It can be seen that Liu Yu's old face is so effective in Youzhou!
I simply don’t pay attention to the matters there, and I can do whatever I want. At most, I am worried about the business of the Zhang family in Zhuo County, which will be affected from time to time. Of course, it’s nothing to worry about. At worst, I can just move to Yunzhong County to make a move.
Due to the great harvest of Yunzhong County last year, Zhang has begun to set up wine shops here to purchase grain and make wine on-site. The price of grain here is lower than that in Youzhou, and the cost of making wine can be reduced a lot. The biggest problem is that the storage time is insufficient.
In theory, it takes three to five years to store the quality for the best.
"Our focus is here..." When he came to Tuyu, Liu Tao pointed to Bingzhou, to be precise, Xihe County. "There are two possibilities in the future. One is that the court hopes that we will send troops to fight the thieves; or the court will transfer the Southern Xiongnu to fight the thieves."
Zhang Wen should not dare to invite himself, so he could only find the Southern Xiongnu. This subsequently triggered a series of turmoil in Bingzhou, and even led to the death of Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou...
Zhang Wen was also dismissed from his post because of this series of mistakes, and Huangfu Song returned to power. In fact, seeing this, Liu Tao really felt that Zhang Wen was innocent, or was he actually a part of the plan?
Sometimes I really feel that his series of military operations are simply messy!
"Say it last!" Liu Tao looked at everyone, "Our goal is to open up the passage to Youzhou! It is best to be able to conquer or destroy the Southern Xiongnu! Take advantage of the situation and take all the military and political power of Wuyuan County!"
Elimination should not be eliminated, at most it is to eliminate the Subu tribe. After all, the Yufuluo tribe is still stranded outside.
