In the morning, Jinyang City.

The camps surrounded Jinyang City tightly, and the sound of people and horses soared into the sky.

In the city, countless soldiers were busy repairing their houses. Cao Cao's fire burned most of the Jinyang City.

After Meng Gongwei temporarily resettled the people, he led the cavalry back to Shuofangzhou. Zhuge Jin, the governor of Bingzhou, took over the city and asked soldiers to help repair the houses and the palace where the emperor needed to stay.

According to the emperor's order, the palace does not need to be too big, just enough to live in it.

But Zhuge Jin did not dare to neglect and tried to build it as much as possible to avoid the emperor's discomfort in living.

Outside the southern city gate, Dian Wei, Ma Dai and other three armies guarded each other, surrounded the emperor's chariot and entered the city of Jinyang. Zhuge Jin and other civil and military officials in the city were accompanied.

A large mansion has been prepared in the city as the emperor's temporary palace. Zhang Xiu did not go there, but went to the palace that was still being repaired with Zhuge Jin and other civil officials.

After Zhang Xiu arrived at the palace, he attracted a group of repaired soldiers to put down their work and secretly looked at Zhang Xiu while bowing.

Although Zhang Xiudian was away, not all soldiers recognized him. Besides, the soldiers have been renewed very quickly over the years.

Some people died in battle, some people died of illness. People in this era have not had a long life. In short, many people do not recognize Zhang Xiu and take this opportunity to watch.

Zhang Xiu stood on the construction site and looked at the palace that had been repaired half. It was already spring, but the weather in Bingzhou was still extremely cold.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu said to Zhuge Jin: "Tiyu, I have an idea. Let the craftsmen think about it and lay out this thing."

Ma Dai was very obedient and reached into his arms and handed a piece of paper to Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin was very surprised and reached out to take it and watched it.

Fa Zheng came over with some curiosity.

"This is what I think of floor heating. Burn fire to keep warm in winter. Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places are cold in winter. There are countless people who have frozen to death. After having this thing, many lives can be saved." Zhang Xiu turned his head and said to Zhuge Jin with a smile.

To be honest, Zhang Xiu didn’t think about these things often. He was an emperor and could not be frozen to death. And there was also a beautiful woman who warmed the bed.

If this floor heating is simplified, it is a kang. Zhang Xiu somehow remembered this. Of course, this kind of good thing that benefits the country and the people must be implemented immediately.

After seeing it, Zhuge Jin immediately became happy. This thing was so good. The weather in Bingzhou was too cold. When he thought that he might have to be the governor of Bingzhou for several years, he felt a chill.

"I understand." Zhuge Jin exhaled, bent down happily and bowed.

After looking at the palace, Zhang Xiu and everyone came to the mansion arranged by Zhuge Jin and sat down in the hall.

"According to the news ahead, Gao Lan led 30,000 troops to camp in Huguan to block my way. What do you think?"

Zhang Xiu sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees, making him very relaxed and casual.

The civil servants dare not do this, they sit upright.

Fa Zheng had already made plans and said, "Your Majesty, you can send General Pang De, General Ma Chao, Gao Shun, Fan Chou and others to seize Huguan with 50,000 troops."

With the end of the war, the prime ministers who stayed in Luoyang have trained new recruits and sent them to Bingzhou one after another to make up for the loss of the troops. However, if they form combat effectiveness, it will take more than half a year.

Fa Zheng said that the army suffered minor losses or no losses in the Battle of Bingzhou. In the Battle of Shangdang, Ma Chao was the soldiers of others, not his own.

Zhang Xiu smiled and shook his head and said, "Huguan is dangerous, and Gao Lan is not a vulgar general. At this point, he will definitely not go out of the gate to fight Pang De. If he attacked Huguan, Yuan Shao would definitely send troops to rescue him. While we suffered heavy losses, there would be no progress."

The other civil servants nodded. Yuan Shao had lost Bingzhou and Wen Chou, and it was all because Zang Hong and Wen Chou left the city to fight fiercely. I am afraid that Yuan Shao had issued a death order to Gao Lan, only guarding the pass, not leaving the pass to fight fiercely.

Even though the Liang army was elite, they only hit stones with eggs.

Fa Zheng said again: "Your Majesty, you can send Zhang Yan and Hu Zhen into Taihang Mountains again. Hit Jizhou and Youzhou counties. Don't fight with his army, you will only be tired of Jizhou. Just like Zhang Yan did before."

"Yes." Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up slightly and he nodded.

Fa Zheng still has many tricks. He now occupies Bingzhou and occupies a place of victory. The initiative in the war is completely in his hands.

The Liang Kingdom has been doing good weather these years, with a lot of food, weapons and supplies in the granary, so it is not necessary to send troops in the autumn harvest.

The army that Pang De, which still maintained a complete system, and attacked Huguan in the Ming Dynasty, caused a great sense of oppression to Jizhou. Zhang Yan, who was familiar with the terrain of the Taihang Mountains, and Hu Zhen, were also dispatched troops everywhere to harass Jizhou.

This is a soft knife strategy.

Sending troops in spring can affect spring plowing in many places in Jizhou, leading to a decline in grain production in Jizhou this fall and continuous bleeding.

The Liang Kingdom, which has a large territory, thick blood trough, strong troops and horses, can already use this method.

Zhang Xiu remembered Tian Feng again. In history, Yuan Shao occupied the four prefectures of Hebei, including Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, with strong soldiers and strong horses.

Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao not fight with Cao Cao, send troops everywhere to cross the Yellow River and harass the Central Plains. As long as he fights for a few years, Cao Cao will be exhausted.

As a result, the other advisers urged Yuan Shao to send troops to fight, of course, the Yuan army was destroyed in the battle of Guandu.

The strategy produced by the wise man is so similar. This strategy can be dealt with Yuan Shao now and Cao Cao in the future.

Zhang Xiu was about to nod and agreed. Ju Su bowed and said, "Your Majesty. The French military advisor's strategy is indeed very skillful, but I also have one."

Fa Zheng looked at Ju Su when he heard this and was quite dissatisfied. But he also held back and didn't say anything. Ju Su was usually quite polite to him. If everyone had the same idea, Ju Su would not speak. Now that Ju Su was talking, he would definitely have a better idea.

"Tell me," Zhang Xiu said with his eyes lit up.

"It is better to attack Jizhou now than to attack Jizhou openly and cross Youzhou secretly." Ju Su said in a shocking manner, and then said to Zhang Xiu with a serious look on his face: "Youzhou is a place with a vast land and sparse population. But it is a place of beauty. If you occupy Youzhou, you can go south from Youzhou, go north from Henoi, send troops from Taihang Mountain, and attack Jizhou in three directions."

"Also. If Zhang Yan and Hu Zhen attack Jizhou, Jizhou is not just Yuan Shao. Cao Cao is a powerful enemy, and Pingyuan Prime Minister Liu Bei is not an ordinary person. If Zhang Yan and Hu Zhen are not careful, they may be destroyed by them."

"If we attack Jizhou in general, then Yuan Shao would definitely invite the Wuhuan people entrenched in Youzhou and the Xianbei people on the grassland to go south. We occupied Youzhou first, defeated, defeated, and surrendered to the Wuhuan people. That is, we would cut off Yuan Shao's reinforcements first."

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Ju said that."

Let’s not talk about the place where Youzhou is so beautiful. Let’s talk about the last point. Cut off Yuan Shao’s reinforcements first, which will make him feel moved.

"Come on the map of Youzhou." Zhang Xiu raised his head and said to Ma Dai, who was guarding outside the door.

Ma Dai replied and went down. Not long after, a team of tigers carried a screen and walked in. The map of Youzhou and Jizhou hung on the screen.

Zhang Xiu stood up and surrounded with his advisers.

Zhang Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed to Youzhou and said, "Yuan Shao only nominally controls Youzhou. In fact, Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, is weak. The one who truly controls the vast land of Youzhou is the Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun. The Wuhuan people have hundreds of thousands of people who are nomadic and farming in Youzhou. Tadun is extremely powerful and powerful, and the barbarians are far and near. The Han people obey him. The prestige is comparable to that of the Great Khan of the Xiongnu that year. There are nearly 100,000 people with air strings."

"We unexpectedly defeated Yuan Xi first and occupied several counties. Then we drove Huaxiong, Hu Cheer and other cavalry to fight Tadun. We can seize Youzhou in one battle."

"If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's reinforcements were Tadun and Taishi Ci could lead his troops north to attack Jizhou, so that Yuan Shao would not be able to take care of each other."

Zhang Xiu became more and more excited as he spoke. He looked up and said to Cai Mao, "Issuing an edict. I sent Zhang Yan and Hu Zhen to Hanoi. Under the control of Taishici, he ordered Hu Cheer from Hanoi County to lead 30,000 cavalry to Jinyang."

"No." Cai Mao didn't understand at all, but he was very thrilling.

Cai Mao left. Zhang Xiu became more and more excited. According to his original plan, he was to first Bingzhou, then Jizhou, and then Youzhou. Now that he occupied Youzhou first, a long-standing plan in his mind could surface.

Zhang Xiu looked around at the counselors on both sides and said astonishingly: "When I capture Youzhou, I will regard Youzhou as the capital, how about moving the capital to Youbeiping?"

There was a loud noise in the sky, and the plan to move the capital was on the stage.

Everyone present was burning outside and tender inside.

Zhuge Jin glanced at Zhang Xiu and said carefully: "Your Majesty. The bitter and cold land of Youzhou is not a good place to establish a capital."

Zhang Xiu disagreed and smiled and said to Zhuge Jin: "Forgot the kang, has the floor heated? As long as you have this, Youzhou will not be too difficult."

The civil officials looked at each other, and sparks were shining. This time, His Majesty had a bad idea and must be stopped.

"Your Majesty. Youzhou has a small population and is close to the grassland. On weekdays, there are many soldiers in Youzhou to ensure the safety of Youzhou. Food needs to be transferred from the south, which is probably a waste of people's efforts."

Ju Su took a deep breath and persuaded him.

He was not aimless. Why did Emperor Wu of Han migrate the Wuhuan people to Youzhou to prevent the Huns? That is, there is no population and no food there, so there is no way to station troops and resist the grassland people.

Setting up Wuhuan people in Youzhou can protect Jizhou in the south. This is the idea of ​​Emperor Wu of Han.

Moreover, the capital city needs to support countless people, officials, officials, and countless people. This will also bring great food pressure, and it is necessary to transport grain from all over the place to support the capital.

The previous Han set up the capital in Chang'an, but why did Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han set up the capital in Luoyang?

Chang'an has terrain advantages, with four blocks being solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it takes more effort to reach Chang'an.

Luoyang is different. Luoyang is in the middle of the world, and can reach Luoyang from all directions.

Military terms, Luoyang is not as good as Chang'an.

However, according to development potential, Chang'an is not as good as Luoyang. The capital Luoyang, which Zhang Xiu took from the hands of the Later Han Dynasty, is now prosperous.

What if the capital is set up in Youzhou Youbeiping? I won’t talk about the bitter and cold. What should I do if the food is done? All the officials in the court are probably going hungry.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the civil servants, but was still excited. He smiled and said, "Let's talk about the issue of garrisoning troops first, and the issue of defense."

"Youzhou has Yanshan in the north as a barrier. As long as you repair passes on the roads in Yanshan and control the Liaodong area, you can effectively prevent the grassland people from going south."

"As for the food issue, I have two ways."

Zhang Xiu smiled and pointed to Youzhou, then walked down the south and reached the bottom of the map, saying, "From Youzhou to Yangzhou, I plan to dig a wide and deep canal. In this way, the grain from all sides can easily enter Youzhou. The population of Youzhou will increase greatly and there will be no food shortage. This is the early solution. In the later stage, have you forgotten the steam engine built by you? When the iron horse that can eat coal comes out, what food cannot be transported to Youzhou?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu talked more and said, "What I want to be is not a ruler who is in charge or takes over the territory of the Han Dynasty. If I want to be a ruler who is pioneering. If I seize Youzhou, I have to restore control of the X Peninsula of the Dynasty when Emperor Wu of Han was in his reign. Only by moving the capital to Youzhou can I control the peninsula more. Otherwise, even if I seized it, I will lose it for various reasons."

The civil officials looked at each other.

They had to admit that what Zhang Xiu said was very reasonable. If the imperial court moved the capital to Youzhou, it could control Liaodong and recapture the four counties of Han (peninsula).

The reason why the Later Han Dynasty lost the four counties of Han was because it was beyond reach.

Moreover, if the capital of the capital is set up in Youzhou, you can use heavy troops to fight against the grassland people. It is the instinct of a dynasty to protect your capital to the death.

From the perspective of military and development, it is extremely beneficial to migrate the capital to Youzhou.

It also conforms to Zhang Xiu's ambition to be enterprising.

But what about other things?

A huge and deep canal connecting Youzhou and Yangzhou? This plan cannot be said to be unfulfilled, but it is too crazy.

As for the iron horse that eats coal? They have also heard of it, but they still think it is a fantasy. Are there any horses that eat coal in the world?

"Your Majesty, I don't know how much people's strength to dig such a canal. I'm afraid the people will complain." Xun You also rarely said, with a very serious expression.

The rest of the people nodded. Why did the Qin Dynasty perish? It was because Qin Shihuang wanted to build straight roads, open Lingnan area, and build the Great Wall, and he did too many things.

If people do not comply with the people's strength, the people will oppose the dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would rest and recuperate, and use Taoism to govern the country inaction, which means doing nothing, allowing the people to rest and recuperate, bringing social stability.

A lesson from the past, a teacher from later generations.
