Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 777 Two Outstanding Disciples
In Houde Hall, Liu Chang looked at the memorial in front of him very seriously.

Lu Lu has never seen His Majesty look so serious.

Especially when facing memorials.

According to His Majesty's usual style, shouldn't these be thrown to Zhang Buyi and the others?

Lu Lu stood aside curiously, and while Liu Chang was resting after putting down the memorial, he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Liu Chang was taken aback for a moment, "Nothing happened, why do you ask such a question?"

"Your Majesty is suddenly so interested in memorials today"

Liu Chang frowned suddenly, "Since I came to the throne, I have always been known for being diligent in government. I dare not be negligent in the slightest. I am busy all day long. You can see it in your eyes. Why do you slander me like this?"

Lu Lu glanced at Sima Xi who was not far away, and sighed, "Your Majesty is right."

Liu Chang looked at the memorials again, impatiently, with a serious expression, and looked at each word, not pretending at all. Lu Lu stayed in Houde Hall for more than an hour, which is really rare. After reading these for a long time, the whole person was a little tired, so Lu Lu sent the memorial to Zhang Buyi, and went into the inner room to rest.Of course, Lu Lu didn't read these memorials, and personally sent them to Zhang Buyi, who was leading the officials to review the memorials sent from various places.

Lu Lu did not leave in a hurry, "Master Zhang, His Majesty has been quite diligent in administration today, and it has been like this for four or five days in a row. When he heard that there was a memorial, he hurriedly asked to hand it over. He would never rest until he finished reading it. What's the big deal?"

Zhang Buyi was furious, "Your Majesty has always been diligent in government since he took the throne."

Lu Lu turned and left.

Asking you a flatterer is purely superfluous.

In the inner room, Liu Changzheng couldn't help but tell Cao Shu about the memorial he was reading.

"Hahaha, wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

"Today, the King of Yan directly scolded the people of Zhao as shameless thieves in the memorial, saying that on the one hand, Yuan Ang wanted to use excuses to delay the time, but on the other hand, he secretly arranged for those people who were going to the country of Zhao to make it impossible for them to go back. Zhang Xiangru reprimanded Yuan An for being a cunning villain. Yuan An sent people to the Tang State, saying that he was pleading guilty, but all the way he silently showed the wealth of Zhao State, saying that he wanted to attract more people to come. Just calm down on behalf of the country, Liu Don't dare to abuse them, Yuan An also handed over the memorial, he called King Yan a king of no virtue, said that King Yan set up roadblocks, which seems to be wrong. Hahaha, King Yan is so angry!!!"

With the rise of Zhao State, the north of the river became a mess.

In Dahan, the place that can "attract people" the most is not the south of the future, but in the country of Yan. Since the Warring States period, when there was war in the north, everyone would go to the country of Yan. The best places to escape are still Youzhou and other areas, but now that the world is peaceful and the war is over, Zhao's location advantage is quickly revealed. Compared with Tang Yan and other places, Zhao's country without war is simply Not on the same level, it immediately attracted a large number of Yu Ding and merchants to settle down.

The population is very important to any county, and everyone quarrels because of these populations.

There was some restraint at first, but with the development of the situation, many counties and countries immediately began to scold.

As a senior entertainer of a big man, Liu Chang certainly would not miss such a good opportunity. He spent the whole day watching these memorials attacking each other and seeing them mingle.

Cao Shu couldn't help frowning, "Your Majesty, this is not something that can be used for fun. It is not a good thing that the counties and states in the north are at odds. How can your majesty use this kind of thing for fun? This is what a wise king wants to do. Can something be done?"

Liu Chang hurriedly became serious, "Of course I didn't use it for fun. The northern countries are not in harmony, so it's time to rectify it. It won't work if it doesn't."

Cao Shu rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Your Majesty, don't delay any longer, let the temple figure out a way as soon as possible. Also, Bo has not sent a letter for a while. Didn't Your Majesty send someone to follow? Or send someone Remind him a little bit, mother is also very concerned about him. It has been two months since I have not replied."

"I know~~~"

Liu Chang spoke weakly, his words were full of perfunctory.

However, the affairs in the north caused Zhang Buyi and others quite a headache at this moment. In the past, the people of the Han Dynasty could not go to other places at will, and it was very difficult even to go out of the country, let alone go to other counties. In order to implement Huang Lao’s thought of governing by inaction, many restrictions have been relaxed. Huang Lao’s inaction is actually to advocate the establishment of a relaxed social atmosphere, so that the people can breathe, and do not use militarized methods to govern the people. It can be seen that Huang Lao is also fully Learned the lesson of Qin's demise.

This kind of relaxed social atmosphere has greatly helped the economic recovery and the recovery of people's livelihood in the early days of the Han Dynasty. That's all for recuperation, but it has caused many problems, and this migration is one of them.

Zhang Buyi discussed these memorials sent by the north with many officials at this moment.

How should the temple handle this matter, and how to appease these princes, kings and county guards who bombed Mao?What should be the attitude towards Yuan Ang?

"It is impossible to send the people out. Since His Majesty did not say that the people are not allowed to migrate, then these Yu Ding came to Zhao State for their livelihood, so there is no reason to drive them back. This will easily trigger more serious incidents, and Yuan An Here, he must be reprimanded. Since Zhao Guo has benefited, it is not a big deal for Yuan Ang to be reprimanded a few times. Besides, what he did was indeed a little too much. To absorb labor from other places, this is a bit too much, Yan Guo and other regions have a shortage of labor, and he still acts like this?"

"As for how to solve it, it's really hard to say. If the strict travel system is implemented again, and people are not allowed to go to other areas to seek livelihood, what about the southern country? The temple has always encouraged the people of the Central Plains to go to the southern country."

The officials discussed one after another and came up with several strategies, but they did not determine the solution to this kind of thing.

Zhang Buyi fully listened to everyone's suggestions, took the thick document, rushed to Houde Hall, and told His Majesty about the matter.

"None of this matters."

Liu Chang looked very calm, "Several important counties in Yan State are already crowded with people. As for those remote places, the climate is bad, and Yu Ding is unwilling to cultivate there. He wants to come to Zhao State. Zhao State has a lot of errands. Just find a restaurant to be a servant, and you can save money. Moreover, there are many mines in Zhao State, and a lot of manpower is needed everywhere. They all run to Zhao State. This is unstoppable. Restore Qin's policy and lock them in their own county?"

"This is not a problem of the temple, but a problem of Yan and Tang itself. They should find a way to keep people instead of complaining to the temple. Get rid of those criminals who were exiled to the frontier and cannot go to other areas. The rest want to go Where, can the temple be managed?"

Zhang Buyi raised his head, "What does your majesty mean, let us ignore it?"

"You can't ignore it, let's work on the relationship between the counties and states. As for the affairs of the people, every year the temple sends a large number of people to the frontier fortress. Can't it work on my head?"

"I understand."

Liu Chang took out several other memorials and placed them in front of Zhang Buyi.

"Compared with these bad things in the north, you should pay more attention to the things in the south. Look, this is sent by Hu Wusheng."

Zhang Buyi picked up the memorial, lowered his head to look at it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty's merits and virtues have brought great order to the world, and even a place like Dian Kingdom can have such a miracle because of His Majesty's mighty power! !!"

Zhang Buyi took a few steps back, looked at Liu Chang devoutly, and bowed to Liu Chang.

"I congratulate Your Majesty!!!"

Liu Chang laughed loudly, "This is really an unexpected surprise. It can be seen that my big man has a vast land and rich resources. As long as we can develop it regularly and not destroy it, it is enough for the big man to stand proudly on the top of the universe. .”

In this year, a great event happened in Dian Kingdom.

Xiao Yan, Prime Minister of the Dian Kingdom, invited the Kanyu family to his home, and wanted to participate in the Nanguo Canal Connection Project of the temple. After the local survey, the Kanyu family shook their heads in despair. According to their calculations, with the current strength of the Dian Kingdom, In addition to these turbulent rivers and complicated river courses, the cost of incorporating them into the project is too high. The Dian Kingdom simply cannot afford such a large cost. Even if the temple contributes, it may not be easy.

The evaluation of the geologists disappointed the people of Dian. The terrain here is complicated, the waterways are even more complicated, and the water flow is very fast. The population is not large. Although there is some accumulation, the project is too large to afford.

Just when they were disappointed and wanted to send these Kanyujia away, the Kanyujia had a new harvest.

Gemologists can not only investigate the local water flow, but of course they can also inspect the local soil, minerals, etc. When inspecting the water flow, the geomancers were surprised to find that there are many copper mines here, which are extremely rich in minerals, which can be called a southern country. the most.

As we all know, Zhao Guoneng's rapid rise was due to the emergence of a large number of iron mines in the country, and after the copper mines of Dian Kingdom were discovered by these geologists, Dian Kingdom was stunned by this sudden surprise.

Hu Wusheng immediately wrote a letter to the temple to inform him of the situation here.

And the Dian Kingdom has already made preparations to mine these copper mines. Copper is as important as iron to the Han Dynasty, and the areas with copper mines in the Han territory are not in a bad situation because they need to mint coins.

Who would have thought that this wild land in the eyes of everyone could have such a great fortune?It's like sitting on a treasure mountain!
Of course Liu Chang was the happiest at the moment, and then he said in a low voice: "This matter has not been spread around yet, so don't say too much."

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

"Don't forget what happened to Zhao Guo before. Ruyi's big mouth, he wanted to let everyone in the world know about it. As a result, he had been targeted by so many people before it was mined. If it weren't for Yuan An and others to suppress him , I don’t know how many people will come to intervene in this copper mine, it is even more important to prepare first, let the temple take over, and then announce to the outside world when you are ready.”

"Can someone still go to Dian Kingdom for some copper?"

"Heh, you underestimate these greedy people too much. As long as there are benefits, let alone Dian Kingdom, they will go even in Anxi!"

Zhang Buyi took the order immediately.

Liu Chang explained several things to Zhang Buyi, then changed his clothes, asked Lu Lu to prepare chariots and horses, and left the palace carelessly.

"Bang~~~"

With a loud noise, the door was knocked open, and the wooden door let out a series of miserable groans.

Han Xin, who was sitting in the shade of a tree, trembled with the hand holding the art of war, and looked in the direction of the gate.

In fact, there is no need to look at it, the person who came in was Liu Chang.

Liu Chang was quite polite this time, he didn't empty his hands, and held gifts in both hands.

"Master!"

Liu Chang threw the meat in his hand into the hands of the soldier beside him, and then shouted: "Cook it to pieces! My master's teeth are not good!"

The soldier hurriedly turned and left, Han Xin ignored him, but continued to read the book in his hand, Liu Chang sat beside him with a smile, poked his head out curiously, and read his book, "Whose art of war is this?"

"No name, it is rumored to be Wei Liaozi's Art of War."

"Oh? Wei Liaozi? I know this person! It's the Taiwei from Wei! What do you think of this person? Can he catch your old man's eyes?"

Han Xin's face twitched, and then he commented very coldly: "The law of governing the army is quite strict. It is quite thoughtful to extend the military to political strategy and pay attention to fighting with the power of the country. However, it is quite thoughtful to use cruel criminal laws to govern soldiers , using intimidation to drive the generals is just the work of subordinates, mostly empty talk, actual combat is nothing more than attacking Sun Wu's book, or telling other people's wars, it can only be given to the king to let him know the truth of war, let the king know The connection between war and state affairs cannot be given to generals to fight, far inferior to me!"

Liu Chang nodded, "That's definitely not as good as you, you don't even care about Sun Wu, and this Wei Liaozi certainly doesn't rank well with you, since you don't like him, why do you want to see his art of war?" Woolen cloth?"

Han Xin put the art of war aside, and said displeasedly: "It's just reading some miscellaneous books for entertainment, what do you want?"

Then Liu Chang took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Han Xin.

"Master, look, you always say that Zhou Yafu got your essence, but I can't claim to be your disciple, but you, a proud student, don't take you seriously at all, he openly declared , Marquis Wucheng is stronger than you, your art of war is not practical at all. Moreover, he imitated Marquis Wucheng's art of war to fight the Anxi people!!"

Liu Chang put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Now you know who is your most outstanding disciple?"

"I have already said that I am the only one who has obtained the essence of your art of war. When I start a war, every gesture of my hand is full of your shadow. How can I look like this guy? How can I learn from Marquis Wucheng!!"

Han Xin looked at the memorial very seriously. The memorial was written by Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu didn't say anything about Marquis Wucheng in the memorial. He just talked about his battle with the Anxi people and his own strategy and ideas. , and the second one is a letter. In the letter, Zhou Yafu described in detail that he still adopted the idea of ​​fighting with righteousness after receiving the secret report from the Anxi people, and told Liu Chang about the conversation between Xia Houzao and himself, which is to explain The reason why I didn't ambush the Parthians.

After reading the letter, Han Xin pondered for a moment.

Then he looked at the smug disciple in front of him.

"Yaf did the right thing."

"what??"

"what?!"

Han Xin said seriously: "He knew that he didn't have the talent like me, and he couldn't accurately judge the opponent's position and movement, so he didn't listen to too much information, but fought head-on in his own way and tried to be safe. This is correct. The most rare thing for a person is to know his own ability, not to imitate other people's fighting methods, and use Wang Jian's method to fight the Anxi people. Maybe he can't achieve much results, but he can complete his own strategy. Yes, Yafu has the qualifications of a famous general."

Liu Chang became angry with embarrassment, "Master, I used Xiang Yu's method to fight the war to discredit you, and he used Wang Jian's method to make him a famous general?"

"You are really unfair!"

"What do you know!"

Han Xin said disdainfully: "I hate reckless people the most in my life. Can you call it the art of war? It's just"

Liu Chang interrupted Han Xin's complaint, "Master, do you think your outstanding disciple can win this time?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. In this case, unless the whole body suddenly rebels, Yafu will not fall into defeat."

Han Xin directly drew a map on the ground with his hands, "Look, Yafu is going to send troops from these two places. There are high mountains on both sides, and there is only the exit in the middle, and the Anxi people's defense line is in this area. .”

Han Xin drew several offensive and defensive routes by hand, "The biggest shortcoming of the Anxi people is that the defense line is too long. Yafu is very smart and chooses two lines to attack, so that they can't look at each other from head to tail and can't rescue in time. The general can only choose one place." To carry out reinforcements, you have to judge where Yafu’s main attacking position is.”

Han Xin spoke very seriously, even if he was a reckless man, he suddenly realized at this moment, and then he became a little melancholy.

Liu Chang sighed, and said unwillingly: "Zhou Yafu's tactics have surpassed mine!"

"As long as anyone who has studied the art of war for two or three years can surpass you, don't humiliate Zhou Yafu like this."

Han Xin still made a sarcasm as usual, and then said seriously: "Now you let the three countries in the northwest send troops to poison themselves to assist Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu wants to destroy these defensive buildings and reduce the threat of the Parthians, but I think that if these The fortifications were taken down and a big man's line of defense was built in these two places, with Bactria in the middle as a buffer. The Parthians have had trouble sleeping and eating since then, and will never dare to make any big moves. They will try their best to take it back when the time comes , Let the poisonous people and these Anxi people consume it. With the advantages of terrain and buildings, there should be no problem for the poisonous people to guard. The Anxi people started with war, and they can't stand such consumption at all, and they will collapse sooner or later."

Liu Chang widened his eyes.

"Using poisonous people to consume Anxi people??"

"As expected of a master! It coincides with me!!!"
