The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 922
Lehe, the envoy of Siam, came to the Shouchun Hope League. After Lu Heng's flickering, he was very interested in the China League.

However, in this era of communication, there are no mobile phones, no Internet, no emails, and flying pigeons to send letters are black technologies that Lu Heng only mastered.

From Shouchun to Siam, which is Thailand in later generations, and the time and cost of Shouchun's arrival in Tibet is enough!
Fortunately, Zhao Defang has been away for a few months, so he should have arrived in Kuozhou.

Lu Heng and Lehe just waited for Boss Cao's response.

In the blink of an eye, it is autumn, and there is no major news from the world, and all parts of the Song Dynasty are busy with the autumn harvest.

The people of Middle-earth ruled to live and work in peace and contentment, and the granaries were filled one after another.

The food from the south will be transported to Luoyang and Chang'an first, and then transferred to Liangzhou. The unification of Xizhou and Liangzhou is relatively late, and has not yet recovered from the war.

The project of "Transferring Grain from the South to the North" is likely to be the main theme of the Song Dynasty in the past two years.

Without him, Huaizhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places where the New Deal was first implemented, the land was fertile and the people were stable early.

There have been no natural or man-made disasters in the past few years, and the weather has been good and the warehouses are full of grain.

The size of the Ao Cang set up by the Qin Dynasty was unknown to Lu Heng because of the damage caused by wars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Lu Heng only knew that the Huai warehouse set up near the Huaihe River had already been filled to capacity last year, and Lu Heng ordered the grain from the Huai warehouse to be transported to Luoyang.

This made Lu Heng want to dig the Grand Canal. Without him, Yang Guang's base camp is in Yangzhou, and Lu Heng's base camp is also in Yangzhou.

The food in Huaizhou, Yangzhou, Minzhou, and Jiaozhou in the south of the Yangtze River can already supply [-]% of the country's land!

The problem is that the transportation is too troublesome. At the beginning, Lu Heng built Chidao, which made the south into a system. Going to Youzhou in the north can go by sea and land, but there is no sea in the northwest!
The current route is to transport from the Yangtze River to Jingzhou, from Nanyang County to Hongnong, and then transport from the Yellow River. This is already the most convenient route.

The construction of the Grand Canal is an achievement for China and for thousands of years, but not now!
The Hetao Great Wall is still under construction, and hundreds of thousands of reform-through-labor brigades and troops are building fortifications in the northwest, which is already a project that consumes a lot of national resources.

You can't act too hastily like Yang Guang, who has the sword of Damocles of the Longxi Group on his head, but Lu doesn't.

At this moment, Lu Heng finally understood why the emperors of the prosperous age in ancient times would always carry out huge projects. This is a feeling that can only be understood when they are in that position.

The Grand Canal, which will solve the eternal problem at one time, cannot be dug for the time being, and the small patch can still be built in the Song Dynasty. The "small patch" from Nanyang to Hongnong will be built this year while transporting grain.

There is also a gratifying report on the defense line of the Yinshan Great Wall. Shizui Mountain and Pinglu City and the simple defense line from Pinglu City to Yinshan have been integrated into one.

After that, it is the 'supporting facilities' to strengthen Yinshan and the defense of the Great Wall!

Lu Heng was overjoyed when he heard the news, it went so smoothly to the point of surprise.

Without the attack of the Liao people, the defense line of Hetao and Yinshan was successfully built in this way.

With this line of defense, the possibility of all prairie people besieging the city for thousands of miles is eliminated, and the rivers and mountains of Hetao are protected for thousands of miles.

The siege and raid is an important means for the prairie people to go south. Simply put, it is to support the war with war. The food and grass of the prairie people are the characteristics of cattle and sheep without the advantage of food roads. They can surround the main cities and continue to go south, unless they encounter Don't give up until you reach the city that cannot be bypassed.

In this way, the border of the farming nation is a sieve, which is broken through by cavalry from all walks of life, and the grains planted become the rations of the grassland people, burned, killed and looted all the way.

The prairie people left after grabbing a ticket, but left the farming people with devastation and the destruction of the people's homes. You must know that the Jurchens at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty did not plan to break through Bianliang when they first went south, but ran away after making a fortune, but they didn't. Thinking that the opponent is so weak, what are you waiting for?

This was true for the Battle of Tanyuan in the Liao and Song Dynasties, and it was also true for the Jurchens going south in the late Song Dynasty, and even the Mongols went south easily.

Here it is explained that although the encirclement of the Great Wall from Helan Mountain to Yinshan Mountain was successful, it does not mean that the defense line of the Hetao Great Wall has been completed. It is only a preliminary simple defense and the complete construction of the Great Wall will take time.

What Lu Heng didn't know was that Yelu Abaoji didn't think of destroying it, but when Wu Yanguang was chasing Budugen, Yelu Abaoji put a lot of experience in Yinshan because he saw that the Great Wall of Yinshan had begun to take shape. , while ignoring the importance of Pinglu City.

As mentioned earlier, Pinglu City is the core of the entire defense line, connecting Shizui Mountain at the Helan Pass to the weak point of Shuofang County on the Hetao defense line.

Therefore, Lu Heng, who received the good news, was heartbroken and happily waited for news from Boss Cao every day.

Tell me about Boss Cao's situation.

When Zhao Defang arrived in Qinghai-Tibet, he found that Boss Cao had developed rapidly this year!

Naturally, Zhao Defang couldn't come here to mourn Cao Chong. On the one hand, he was observing Cao Cao's development, and on the other hand, it was the task of inviting the Huaxia Alliance.

At that time, Lehe had not yet been sent to the Song Dynasty, so it was natural to imagine that Lu Heng and Cao Cao would form an alliance first, and then use the two influences to influence Siam.

Because Cao Cao became Zanpu, after receiving the support of the local Tibetans, it seemed to turn on a certain switch.

This switch was turned on by Songtsan Gampo in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tibetans were called Tubo, and they could fortify the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
Boss Cao pushed Tibet to the west to Lhasa in later generations, and controlled the Di and Qiang people in the east, forming a political system of Han, Tibetan, Di and Qiang.

After Boss Cao called himself Duke Wei, he called himself King Wei in the same year, officially establishing Cao Wei.

Lu Heng, who received Fei Ge's letter, was also curious about why Boss Cao didn't directly proclaim himself emperor and become the king of Wei.

Lu Heng suddenly remembered his late cheap father Lu Kang's resolute request not to chase after him.

Suddenly it seems to have realized something!

Cao Cao was like a dragon entering the sea in Tibet, and his strength developed by leaps and bounds in the snowy area.

When Zhao Defang talked about the Huaxia Alliance, Cao Cao was very interested. Lehe had been to Cao Cao as early as a few years ago.

It was also the appearance of Li Jun that allowed Guo Jia, who was still alive, to plan the strategy of the Qiang land for Cao Cao, and it was the foundation of Cao Wei now.

At the same time, Cao Cao also knew that there were constant frictions on the border between the Song Dynasty and Siam, and it is said that there was another battle back then.

This made Cao Cao very at ease. On the contrary, if Song Dynasty and Siam flirted with each other, Cao Cao would be uneasy.

In Cao Cao's heart, his own Wei had good relations with the Song Dynasty and Siam at the same time, so he didn't have to worry about the south and east, and he could safely conquer the Liao Kingdom in the north.

But if several parties form an alliance, it will not be harmful to Cao Cao and may be beneficial.

So this time Boss Cao was more concerned about the Huaxia Alliance, and sent Xun You and Sima Yi to the Great Song Dynasty for talks.

Let’s not mention that Lu Heng is leading the Huaxia Alliance. Let’s continue to look at the situation in the island country. Da Song easily took over the Ping family. During the period when Ping Weisheng met with Lu Heng, something terrible happened in the Kamakura shogunate.
