This news is considered good news in the current view of Zhuge Liang. Even if the road is completely repaired, it may take until the middle of next year, but if it can be repaired, it means that there is no problem with the attack planned by Chen Xi. Of course, from the beginning
Zhuge Liang didn't think there was any problem at first.
With the continuous completion of roads in the Central Plains states, even ordinary people with a little bit of vision understand that this generation will probably break out the territory that the Central Plains has maintained for a long time. The former empire's extreme wall will definitely not be able to do so under this crazy road construction method.
to be broken.
Like in the past, the countries in the Western Regions, where the emperor was far away and would be disobedient from time to time, could only rely on Wuji Xiaowei to suppress them. When the westward passage was built and Chang'an wanted to beat them, it would only take a month or two for troops to be sent out. After the battle, they might come back.
It won't even take a year.
Let’s also count the Grand Canal under construction, state highways in various states, the road from Chang’an to Hanzhong that Cao Cao worked hard to rebuild, and the Southwest Artery that Liu Zhang, who has basically gone crazy, is working on.
After these roads and infrastructure are built, all the states in the Central Plains will be basically connected together. If this continues, the connections between the north, south, and east will be greatly increased. As long as an outer frame map is created, the possibility of unrest in the core territory of the empire will basically be eliminated.
Damn it, no one can even think about splitting the states in the central territory. The political economy is all inseparable because of their interconnectedness.
Of course, Lu Qian also talked about some less important things, such as what they saw on the road. For example, they encountered about a thousand to two thousand people huddled together, protected by some guards, and took the westbound passage that Cao Cao was building.
The people of the Central Plains in the Western Regions.
When these people saw Lu Qian leading the army, they still wanted to join Lu Qian. After all, in the past ten years, the reputation of the Han family's regular army had not been lost, and its discipline was much better than before. In addition, the domestic civil war did not break the bottom line.
Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei, these people are working hard to maintain the country's situation. The situation of "bandits are like combs and soldiers are like grates" has long been a thing of the past.
So much so that there are wars, but people are living better than they were ten or twenty years ago.
Of course, wars from time to time have also tempered the character of these people. Now, the people under various princes still have some estimates of which of the soldiers of the major princes are reliable.
There is no doubt that Liu Bei's subordinates are the most reliable. Liu Bei's soldiers are all professional soldiers, the kind raised by the country. Apart from participating in battles, they are trained, and there is no bad record at all.
As for the corruption of military discipline in Qingzhou soldiers, that happened a few years ago. Now that the army has been regularized, those who corrupted military discipline have either been captured, and those with minor circumstances have been educated. Now it can be clearly said that the regular army under Liu Bei has
As a professional soldier, military discipline can be guaranteed.
Next up are Sun Ce and Cao Cao. Sun Ce is relatively better. Cao Cao mainly has a dark history, but it has gotten much better in the past two years. After all, Cao Cao also needs face. After being hacked once, he has never massacred the city again.
Regarding this kind of thing, military discipline should be improved.
By the way, one of the more funny ones is Xiliang Soldiers, whose evaluations are seriously polarizing.
After all, eight or nine years ago, the Xiliang soldiers had too much dark history. They dug graves, burned the city, and drove the people away. It was such a mess that it gave people the impression that there was nothing they could do to clean it up. But what happened later was magical.
After being cleared up, Li Jue was fooled by Zhong Yao and started to carry out infrastructure construction in Yongzhou. The Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal were all dredged, and other projects were also carried out.
The people of Yongliang really relied on these things to make a living, so they scolded the Xiliang soldiers harshly, but they also admitted that these people had done practical things. After all, these people had made achievements in defeating foreigners and defending the Central Plains.
, but there is too much dark history, and the people of Yongliang were merciless when they scolded him.
It's just that Li Jue finally managed to make a living on the basis of his stay, so for the sake of their rice bowl, the people of Yongliang scolded them, but they also knew that they couldn't be rude and unforgiving. After all, they now had enough to eat, and they also had food.
The reason why Li Jue used the Xiliang cavalry army to control Yongliang and used whips to whip the Yongliang people to build the Zhengguo Canal.
The situation back then was indeed crazy. If we do this now, Yongliang might be in chaos. But at that time, the people in Yongliang couldn't afford to eat. Li Jue directly used his elite soldiers to watch the people build rivers.
Everyone must work and eat at regular intervals.
Under such circumstances, the Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal were dredged in one or two years. After that, there was no shortage of food in the second year. After a good year, they had enough to eat, and the people of Yongliang and the soldiers of Xiliang were not so ruthless.
, after all, the living are more important than the dead.
Speaking of which, Zhong Yao did not cheat Li Jue back then, and left Li Jue with a foundation that others could not understand, but he really couldn't take action directly. Of course, Li Jue turned around and scolded Zhong Yao in Congling for not being a human being.
, but I really can’t say that Zhong Yao felt sorry for Li Jue.
Li Jue has made so much dark history. Although he is stuck abroad and cannot come back, it is true that no one wants to deal with these guys. The upper echelons of the entire Central Plains pretended not to see this group of people, so how far away can this group of people be?
Get away as far as you can, don't come back, the title and canonization will not be taken back, you just stay abroad, and everyone will be out of sight!
Ten years have passed under this background. The common people in the Han Dynasty still have a good sense of professional soldiers, that is, the kind of soldiers who are fully equipped and can be seen at a glance as not being bastards. At least they are not afraid of these people.
Having said that, when people in the Han Empire judge whether the army will attack them, they mainly look at the equipment of the soldiers. The better the equipment, the more complete it is, and the taller it looks, the more polite they will be to the people.
Even though those people have strong evil spirits and do not look like good people at first glance, the people of the Han Dynasty still believe in these people. To be precise, the heavier the evil spirits and the better the equipment, the more it shows that these soldiers are regular elites, and the more regular they are.
Soldiers are less likely to bully ordinary people.
After all, the Han Dynasty still wants to face shame. Soldiers rob the people and so on, so why support you! The meaning of your existence is to protect your family and the country, and protecting the people is the meaning of your existence.
Only then did the group of people who moved westward not only refused to run away when they encountered Lu Qian's regular army, but also wanted Lu Qian to lead them. In the past, except for a few warlords who were very particular about not messing around, a certain
Some soldiers with poor discipline must have robbed this group of people. Things have been really good these years.
However, Lu Qian did not want to take this group of people to the Western Regions, but seeing that the other party had a large number of people, Lu Qian still had a good talk with the other party in person, saying that if the other party was willing to return to Yongliang, he could send a hundred people to protect them.
After returning home, the people who had received the settling-in fee and various other expenses in Sizhao City were still quite contractual and expressed that they must go to the Western Regions.
When Lu Qian heard this, he said on the spot, "I don't care. If you return to Yongliang to increase the population of Yongliang, Lu Qian is willing to protect you. But you said you want to go to the west of the Western Regions. It's good that I didn't directly prohibit you from going. You actually want to take a ride."
Hitchhike, roll, roll, stay away from me.
By the way, Lu Qian turned around and was ready to check out which bastards had taken money from the Yuan family and transferred people. Such officials should be killed. Speaking of the Yuan family, where did the old Yuan family squat? Lu Qian was very knowledgeable about this.
Interested, just in time to see the current situation of the Yuan family!
Lu Qian's words were very rude, but they obviously did not frighten this group of people. He collected the resettlement fee from the old Yuan family, and among them there were people arranged by Sizhao City to organize the group of people to move westward. Although the people they protected were
Not many, but there are still some smart people inside. If your old Cao family’s army doesn’t take us, then we will go by ourselves. Anyway, we didn’t come this far without you!
Lu Qian didn't have any good ideas for this. After all, this was voluntary. Although Lu Qian wanted to lure this group of people back, after all, the number of nearly 2,000 people was equivalent to the number of people in a large village before the village was merged.
, it makes sense to have a team of officials for ten such villages.
But the old Yuan family didn't know what they had promised. Anyway, this group of people was unmoved. Well, some ordinary people were persuaded by Lu Qian to be moved, but if the leader didn't nod, they couldn't let Lu Qian send a hundred
Let's go back with a dozen or so personal guards.
In the end, the matter was settled. Lu Qian was very unhappy with this group of people who migrated to the Western Regions, but there was nothing they could do. However, the group of people saw that Lu Qian had nothing to do without them, so they followed Lu Qian as much as possible.
Behind the army he led.
Lu Qian wanted to get rid of these guys, but he felt it was too embarrassing, so he marched slowly at a normal marching speed.
The group of common people reluctantly hung on behind Lu Qian, and successfully hung on all the way to the Western Region. Then at a fork, people sent by the Yuan family picked him up in front of Lu Qian.
Lu Qian immediately felt very angry, and directly sent three teams of twenty scouts to follow him. The old Yuan family dared to cut off their Cao family's population, and followed him. If they didn't come back, they wouldn't want them, but old Yuan family
Find me where my family is squatting, and bring me some information about Yuan's base.
However, Tian Wen, who came to pick up people from the old Yuan family, saw a cavalry team of 60 people hanging behind him. After confirming that they were from the Central Plains, he directly reduced the number of hundreds of people on his side to pick up people and escort them by half, and even sent someone to invite them.
Sixty scouts from Lao Cao's family joined the escort team to provide food and shelter.
The sixty reconnaissance riders of the Cao family were a little confused, but they accepted it because of the sincere invitation. After all, the task given to them by Lu Qian was very simple. They were just going to the Yuan family base to have a look, so the reconnaissance riders of the Cao family were very quick.
He mingled with this group of people and headed to Yuanjiasi Zhao City.
After Tian Wen, the leader of the Yuan family's population reception, fooled the Cao family's scouts, he realized that he was really smart. He went back to Sizhao City and gave each of the sixty people two hundred acres, and then let these sixty people take over the land.
The family member made an announcement and said that the second wave could move here. Wouldn’t the 60 scouts sent out by Lu Qian change their surname to Yuan?
Isn't this also a population? There are sixty people at least. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. It would be great to have one more mosquito, and it can also be made into a long line.
