Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

"Then what did Senior Li think Liu Zhoumu did today?"

"What's the matter? It's so obvious!" Li Ying said, "The Empress Dowager wants to marry her sister Dou Chan to Liu Zhoumu, and make Liu Zhoumu a general of hussars, and invite Liu Zhoumu to Beijing. The reason why Liu Zhoumu is in a hurry to get married is because Reject this marriage with the Empress Dowager's sister!

But, having said that, if he married someone else, it would only prevent the court from granting a marriage.

The imperial court will still have other excuses to invite Liu Zhoumu to Beijing!

If Liu Zhoumu pushes left and blocks right, after a long time, his heart of disobedience will be revealed, and he will be cast aside by the world.but……"

"I understand!"

There is no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum. When Li Ying mentioned it, Zhang Huan instantly understood it!

He took the initiative to answer and said: "However, once Liu Zhoumu marries Zou's daughter, as long as he is not subdued, the court will never mention Liu Zhoumu's entry to Beijing as long as he wants to save face.

Although Liu Zhoumu's marriage to Zou's daughter hurt his reputation a little, it was nothing compared to being accused of disobedience. "

"So..." Duan Jiong also came to understand, and said: "This old man, Mr. Zhang, and even the people of the world have misunderstood Liu Zhoumu. He married Zou's daughter. It was by no means a blush, but a painstaking effort. Take the lesser harm!"

Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong looked at Liu Yan with different eyes!

Li Ying said: "Exactly! Liu Zhoumu didn't hesitate to defile himself and refused to enter the capital. You two persuaded Liu Zhoumu to enter the capital and stand by the Queen Mother. What are you if you are not two complete idiots?"

"But..." Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong were still a little unconvinced, and said, "Is it really that scary for Liu Zhoumu to enter Luoyang?"

"Hey, it's really that scary?" Li Ying said, "Let me ask you one more question: Why did I, Li Ying, resign from office and return home?"

"You... ah!"

Both Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong are extremely intelligent people, upon hearing this remark, they both shivered in shock.

Because, they suddenly realized that Li Ying's resignation was similar to Liu Yan's self-defilement!

If Li Ying did not resign, he would, like them, go to Luoyang to take office for his meritorious service.

If Liu Yan did not marry Zou's daughter, sooner or later he would be cornered by the queen mother and had to go to Luoyang to take up a post.

Luoyang was regarded by Liu Yan and Li Ying almost at the same time as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

These two people, in the same way, refused to go to Luoyang, became important officials of the court, and enjoyed the glory and wealth!

In terms of morality and intelligence, are Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong better than Li Ying?

In terms of force, are Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong better than Liu Yan?

Both Li Ying and Liu Yan feared that Luoyang would be avoided.How come Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong, who are under these two people, are so confident in making troubles in Luoyang?

"That..." Zhang Huan said weakly: "Senior Li and Liu Zhoumu both think that Luoyang is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and they must never go there? Why is that?"

"It's very simple." Li Ying took a deep breath and said, "Because, you, me, and even Liu Zhoumu are all capable of defending against the barbarians and protecting me. But when I went to Luoyang, I wanted to fight with a group of flies. The elders fight for power and profit.

The comparison there is neither benevolence, righteousness, morality, nor strength of force, but who is the most unethical and who is the most cruel to his own people!

When we get there, not only will we not be able to use our abilities, but we may be ruined and even lose our lives! "

"Is it that serious?"

"It's just that serious." Liu Yan said: "You two think it's a pity for Benzhou Mu to stay in Xiliang. But I think that you two gave up military power and went straight to Luoyang.

Just like a tiger whose claws and claws have been pulled out and put into a pack of dogs, it will be bullied by the pack of dogs!

According to Benzhou Mu's advice, you should resign and stay in Xiliang for the elderly.

Xiliang is rich and prosperous, the support of the two will never be less than the salary given by the imperial court.If you insist on going to Luoyang as an official, you will regret it in the future! "

"This……"

Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong looked at each other, doubting Liu Yan and Li Ying's words.

They said they believed because they believed in the character of Li Ying and Liu Yan.

To say they believed it was because they felt that Liu Yan and Li Ying's words were too exaggerated.I am no more stupid than others, and the imperial court allowed me to bring three hundred relatives to the post, and to compete in essays, who would I be afraid of?

And most importantly, Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong couldn't let go of going to Luoyang and everything they could get.

Indeed, neither of these two people is short of money, and Liu Yan can also give them the property they need.

However, there are some things that Liu Yan cannot give.

For example, the lofty position of the Three Dukes!

For example, power over the world!

For example, to promote the revival of the great Han, and to leave his name in history!

Liu Yan can't give these, you can only get them by going to Luoyang, the center of the Han Dynasty!

There are so many great heroes, great heroes, and wise men, but they can't tell the name of fame and wealth!

Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong are no exceptions!

"This one……"

In the end, Zhang Huan slowly shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhang's lifelong ambition is to govern the country, secure the country and bring peace to the world. Now, he can go to Luoyang immediately to realize his life's wish, and he really doesn't want to give up."

Duan Yu also took a deep breath, and said: "Duan has fought for a big man all his life, in order to taste the taste of that extremely human minister, who has power over the world! Luoyang is the den of dragons and tigers, and I also want to bring my own blood to drink Army, but make a breakthrough!"

Liu Yan knew that the two of them were strong-willed people, so he stopped persuading them, picked up a glass of wine, and said, "Everyone has his own ambition, and Liu doesn't force it. Then, let's drink this glass of wine and say goodbye." Pass!"

"Farewell?" Duan Jiong frowned slightly, and said, "Liu Zhoumu is not talking to us, and wants to drive us away?"

"Of course not. Mr. Liu is now, and he wants to bid farewell to the three!"

"Where can Liu Zhou Mu go on his wedding day?" Duan Jiong became more and more puzzled.

Liu Yan drank the wine in the cup and said: "To be honest, the Jingyang camp has assembled and is on standby now! I will take them to kill people! Congratulate me on my wedding with the blood of the barbarians! Let the blood of the barbarians be strong for the two old generals! Let the empress dowager in Luoyang wake up with the blood of the barbarians!"

"Who is Liu Zhoumu going to kill? Qiang people, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei, aren't they all coming to congratulate you on your marriage, are they all pretty well-behaved? Besides, killing them is nothing new, and it won't make the queen mother so afraid." !"

"Of course not them!" Liu Yan pointed to the west, and said: "This time, the 36 countries of the Western Regions that Benzhou Mu wants to kill are... the 36 countries of the Western Regions! Let me see who dares to act recklessly against Benzhou Mu..."

Chapter 111 Blitzkrieg, Blitz Strikes 36 Countries in the Western Regions

That's right, the 36 countries in the Western Regions!

In the early days of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's succession to the throne, he fought several battles with the Xiongnu, and it was hard to tell the winner and lose, unable to break the game.

Emperor Wu of the Han was ingenious and sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions, which had already surrendered to the Huns, to open up a second battlefield with the Huns.

Ever since, the Han and the Xiongnu have fought for a hundred years with the 36 countries in the Western Regions as pawns.

In the past hundred years, the Xiongnu and the great Han families, I don’t know how many eloquent scholars have become famous, I don’t know how many tigers and heroes have left their names in history, and I don’t know how many heroes and martyrs generously sang songs...

The 36 countries and mountains are picturesque, so many heroes at one time!

In the end, the 36 countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu forces completely withdrew from the Western Regions.

Not long after, the Eastern Han Dynasty was established.

The Eastern Han was congenitally deficient, most of the country's wealth was in the hands of aristocratic families, and the imperial court's income was only [-]% of that of the Western Han.

Ordinarily, with the national power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was impossible to control the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

But there are talents in the Eastern Han Dynasty!

The two generations of Ban Chao and Ban Yong, father and son, relied on their peerless talents to support the frontier and Dingyuan, and maintained the general control of the Western Regions by the Han Dynasty with only a very small force.

It wasn't until more than 30 years ago that the great Han was no longer surprised and the most beautiful men garrisoned the border, and it coincided with the second Qiang rebellion that they lost control of the Western Regions.

Since then, the Western Region Changshi Mansion, the authority of the Han Dynasty to control the Western Regions, can only be stationed in Liuzhong City, maintaining a nominal existence.

It must be explained that the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions sounds quite famous, but in the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it is directly under the jurisdiction of Dunhuang County.

The boss of Dunhuang County is Liu Yan, the shepherd of Xiliang Prefecture.

It can be said that Liu Yan is the legitimate master of the 36 countries in the Western Regions!

However, the current 36 countries in the Western Regions are very different from the 30 countries in the Western Regions 36 years ago.They now have a new master—Hubisaka, the lord of Guishuang!

It is recognized by the world that the four great powers in the world are Dahan, Rome, Anxi, and Guishuang.

Guishuang, with a population of 500 million, 20 armored troops, and nearly a hundred small countries around it as slave states, can mobilize millions of troops when necessary, and it is a country that can sit on an equal footing with the big Han!

Moreover, the 36 countries in the Western Regions are very far from Luoyang, the ruling center of the Han Dynasty, but very close to Peshawar, the ruling center of the Guishuang Empire!

Therefore, after the 36 countries in the Western Regions recognized Guishuang Kingdom as the suzerain country, they ignored Liu Yan's order to restore the former status of the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions.

Therefore, Liu Yan sent Shen Wansan to open up the glass and wine market in the West, and the 36 countries in the Western Regions have been setting checkpoints and collecting three times the tax.

In other words, more than 36% of Liu Yan's profits from selling glass to the West went to the [-] countries in the Western Regions.

They are still not satisfied with this, sometimes, they even send people to pretend to be bandits to kill people and steal goods!

Therefore, this time Liu Yan sent an invitation card asking the rulers of the 36 countries in the Western Regions to come to congratulate his newlyweds. Not only did the rulers of the 36 countries in the Western Regions not come, they didn't even offer congratulatory gifts. His disdain for Liu Yan was obvious. Ruojie!

With the above three reasons, it is simply unreasonable for Liu Yan not to conquer the 36 countries!

Of course, there is one last reason for Liu Yan to go to the 36 countries in the Western Regions - to let the queen mother, Dou Miao, be sober!

No matter how hard Liu Yan beat Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan, it was within the controllable range of the Han court.

Because Xiliang is not bordered by these four barbarians, even if they defeat these four barbarians, they will not be able to increase the population, land and strength of Xiliang.

Xiliang is only a million people, so it is not a big influence for the imperial court.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions are different, they are next to Xiliang!

If Liu Yan really controls the 36 countries in the Western Regions, plus Xiliang itself, the population under his command can reach more than 300 million.

A country with a population of 300 million is quite capable in this era.Have enough qualifications to stand side by side with Dahan, Rome, Anxi, and Guishuang!

No matter how self-righteous Empress Dowager Dou Miao is, she has to look at Liu Yan with admiration.

There are so many reasons, if Liu Yan doesn't take over the 36 countries in the Western Regions now, when will he wait?

……

Of course, even though Liu Yan had such a good reason to attack the 36 countries in the Western Regions.These 36 countries are really not so easy to fight.

The Western Regions have a radius of four thousand miles, and the Gobi Desert is everywhere, and each "country" is established on each oasis.

When the expeditionary force arrived here, it was almost impossible to obtain logistical supplies from the rear.

If the expeditionary army stops under the strong city, those waiting for the expeditionary army will be defeated.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost [-] soldiers in order to conquer Dawan, which is a lesson from the past.

In fact, the way the Eastern and Western Hans controlled the Western Regions was nothing more than a two-pronged approach.On the one hand, a small number of soldiers were sent to farm and take root in the desert.

On the other hand, the countries in the Western Regions are united vertically and horizontally, and slowly controlled by using water milling skills.

Liu Yan now wants to bring all the 36 countries in the Western Regions under his control in a short period of time, but he can't use this kind of water to grind his time.

He must conquer all 36 countries with thunder in a short period of time, and not give them any chance to gather in the city and defend!

Therefore, Liu Yan moved the governance of Xiliang Prefecture to Dunhuang early on, and moved the Jingyang Camp here.Send troops two hundred miles from Dunhuang, and you can invade the territory of 36 countries in the Western Regions!

Therefore, Liu Yan set the day of sending troops to today, the day of his wedding.

In the 36 countries of the Western Regions, when they thought that Liu Yan was newly married and would never trouble them in a short time, Liu Yan sent troops!

He wants to launch a blitzkrieg with 36 Jingyang battalion soldiers, and completely bring the [-] countries in the Western Regions into Xiliang's territory!

……

The next day, Liu Zhongcheng.

This city is not only a necessary place on the Silk Road, but also a huge amount of wealth is transferred here.

It is also the resident of the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, where a thousand Han troops stationed, representing the rule of the Han over the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

However, from the day before yesterday, the big man's Tianwei was offended!

Liu Zhongcheng's massive wealth has attracted a pack of wolves!

"Rush! Kill! Break through Liuzhong City, and slaughter the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions!"

"Kill the Han Chinese out of the Western Regions!"

"After the city is broken, if the knife is not sealed for three days, the beauties can take it at will!"

"Kill! Just kill! Xiliang and the Han court are at odds. Even if Liu Yan learns about this, he can only swallow his anger!"

……

People count as tigers, and tigers count as people.

Liu Yan intends to plot against the 36 countries of the Western Regions on the day of his wedding, and the 36 countries of the Western Regions also want to take advantage of Liu Yan's wedding to completely remove the power of the Han from the Western Regions.
