As the distance got closer, Wang Zhen became excited when he saw the person appearing in front of him.
His father is back!
"Let's go and welcome our father with me!"
Wang Zhen gave an order, and walked forward quickly with joy and excitement. When the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, Wang Zhen could already see Wang Can's appearance. Seeing that Wang Can was indeed much younger, Wang Zhen was even more...
I am happy because Wang Can is young, which means that Wang Can's martial arts will definitely improve greatly, which is extremely beneficial to the Kingdom of Shu.
When Wang Zhen walked up to Wang Can, he bowed and saluted: "My son, I pay homage to my father!"
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others quickly saluted Wang Can.
At this moment, countless people felt at ease.
With Wang Can's return, the Kingdom of Shu now has a backbone.
Wang Can nodded and signaled, and asked all the officials to level up. Then he looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong De, during my absence in Shu, great changes have taken place in Shu. Thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is serious, I am not working hard. Your Majesty entrusted the state affairs to the old minister, but the old minister failed to defend the Kingdom of Shu, which resulted in only the Sili area of the Kingdom of Shu. The old minister is guilty, please punish your Majesty."
"It's not your fault!"
Wang Can shook his head and answered with a chuckle.
What happened this time, at its core, is still undergoing a huge change.
In the peaceful world, Temujin, Maodun, Li Shimin, Zhao Gou, Kangxi and others suddenly appeared. There were even ministers of these kings in the world. Such a lineup was difficult for Cheng Yu to resist.
In other words, this is difficult to do manually.
Wang Can said: "Let's go back to the palace!"
"Here!"
After everyone got the order, they immediately followed Wang Can back to the city.
The army was stationed in the city, and Wang Can led the civil and military officials back to the palace hall.
Wang Can knew that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed. He just arranged for someone to go to the harem to inform Cai Yan and others, and then immediately convened everyone in the hall to discuss the matter.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "My lords, you all know the current situation in the Kingdom of Shu. The current situation in the Kingdom of Shu must change the situation. We occupy the Sili area. This is the most important place in Guanzhong and the heart of the world. However,
, but there are enemies on all sides in Guanzhong. The current situation must be changed. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Shu will definitely be in decline. If you have any solutions to the current situation, please feel free to speak out."
Xun You immediately said: "Your Majesty, the current situation requires solving the food problem. Shu is surrounded by enemies on all sides and wars are ongoing. Most of what is being consumed now is the food stored in the granary. If Shu does not expand its territory, it will only rely on Guanzhong.
.It is difficult to maintain for a long time.”
Wang Can said: "Xun Qing, what I need is a solution, not a problem. You see the problem, so how do you solve the current dilemma?"
Xun You's face remained unchanged and he said: "I suggest that we take Maodun and use Liangzhou as the rear area. As long as Liangzhou is established and the Sili area and Liangzhou are connected, your majesty will not be afraid of any war. The reason why the pre-Qin Dynasty
To build a country, you need to seize Guanzhong and Xiliang and annex them one by one, so that you can finally dominate the world. As long as your majesty takes Liangzhou, you can prepare to attack Liu Bang and even attack Yingzheng."
Wang Can nodded, looked at everyone again, and said, "What do you think?"
Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Xun Gongda's opinion."
Guo Jia said: "Although the news of His Majesty's return to Luoyang has spread in Shu, there are frequent frictions between Shu and other countries in the four directions, so the news has not spread. Even if Liu Bang, Ying Zheng, Li Shimin and others knew about it, they would not risk it.
As for Dun, he doesn't know. Under such circumstances, Mo Dun will still look down upon our country, Shu."
"So, we can completely catch him off guard."
"Especially when we returned to Chencang County, we received news that Mao Dun was mobilizing the Liangzhou army and the Huns' cavalry to prepare for an overall attack on Chencang County. Under such circumstances, we have a chance to win."
Guo Jiadao: "Your Majesty, I also suggest that we attack Maodun first. The Kingdom of Shu once ruled the world. Today, all the kings in the world have no idea how powerful the military of Shu was. This time, your Majesty will go to war with Maodun and attack Shu in one go."
The majesty of the army completely wiped out the Huns led by Maodun."
Cao Cao echoed: "What Guo Fengxiao said is reasonable. Under the current situation, if we want to fight with other countries, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale battle. It is not appropriate to affect the whole body by affecting one hair! We can only attack Maodun first to avoid triggering
The rest is turbulent.”
The rest of the people all agreed.
Wang Can looked at Wang Zhen and said, "Zhen'er, what do you think?"
Wang Zhen rolled his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Reporting to my father, the analysis of all the princes is reasonable. But I thought of one thing. Now the military strength of the Shu Kingdom is slightly insufficient, so we must conquer Maodun in one go.
I'm afraid it won't be easy. Especially if other countries take the opportunity to send troops, it will be unfavorable to us. Under such circumstances, should we join forces and send envoys to form alliances with some countries to temporarily stabilize these countries and prevent them from being killed?
Things are going to be chaotic. At least, we must buy time to destroy Maodun."
When Wang Can heard this, he nodded with an expression of approval.
Wang Zhen is not very old, but when considering things, he has a big-picture view and considers a very important aspect.
To destroy Maodun, troops must be mobilized.
Once the Shu Kingdom puts its main force on Maodun to the west, what if Li Shimin or Ying Zheng wants to make a sneak attack? Of course, under the current situation, there are no enemies to the north of Bingzhou where Ying Zheng is located, and only Kangxi to the west is the big one.
Enemies. And Liu Bang is in Bashu, which is a land of abundance. It is difficult to enter, so Liu Bang is not easily attacked. Among those who are adjacent to Wang Can, only Li Shimin has enemies on all sides, which is similar to Wang Can's situation.
As long as Wang Can sent people to form an alliance with Li Shimin and stabilized Li Shimin, he would have at least one less enemy. As long as Li Shimin was not allowed to use force for the time being, Wang Can could allocate part of his troops and then use all his strength to deal with Mao Dun.
This is Wang Can's plan.
Wang Can said: "What Zhen'er said is polite. Sirs, who is willing to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty on my behalf and form an alliance with Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty on my behalf?"
"My wish!"
Among the crowd, Chen Qun opened his mouth to answer.
Chen Qun once served under Cao Cao. He was a member of the Chen family in Yingchuan and came from a famous family. Although Cao Cao surrendered to Wang Can, Chen Qun also entered the Shu Kingdom as an official and was reused due to his talents.
However, Chen Qun is not satisfied with the current status quo.
Chen Qun also wants to go further.
If in the peaceful and prosperous times, the Dukes and Gonggun were sitting in the court and no one moved their seats, it would be very difficult for Chen Qun to take a step forward. But now that the war breaks out, as long as he has made great achievements, he will definitely be rewarded, so
Chen Qun wanted to go to Datang as an envoy.
Even if there are risks, he is willing to go.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Chen Qing is willing to go, which is great. You can go to Xiangyang on my behalf and lobby Li Shimin on my behalf. I hope to become allies with the Tang Dynasty, non-aggression, and help each other."
"I obey the decree!"
Chen Qun bowed his hand and agreed.
Liu Ye also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to send an envoy to Bingzhou to lobby for the victory of your Majesty's government."
"No need!"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Ying Zheng occupied Bingzhou. If he wants to go south, he can only attack our Sili area. But now Jizhou has no owner, and Kangxi is sending troops to attack Jizhou with the intention of annexing it. From Yingzheng's perspective, he will definitely not
Kangxi may be allowed to seize Jizhou. Therefore, Yingzheng does not need to go to lobby."
The world has undergone great changes, although various overlords have appeared in various places.
However, there are some places that are vacant.
For example, in Jizhou, there was no king in history, and it was precisely in Bingzhou that no king was born. Therefore, this place became the place where Yingzheng and Kangxi fought for each other.
Another example is Xuzhou, which is also a people without an owner.
Although there are powerful people in these places, they are still fought over by many people and there is no unified political power.
It is also true that these places are constantly contested.
For example, Xuzhou, Zhao Gou in Jiangdong, and Li Shimin in Yanzhou also wanted to annex.
Under such circumstances, Wang Can wanted to form an alliance with Li Shimin and stabilize the situation in Shu, which would be enough to ensure the security of Shu. Although there were constant frictions on the border of Shu, at least there was no real war yet.
Now, all we need to do is solve the problem.
When Liu Ye heard Wang Can's words, he immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I am stupid."
After saying that, he stepped back.
Wang Can changed the topic and said in a deep voice: "Huang Zhong, you immediately mobilize 10,000 elite troops from Chang'an. After mobilizing the army, prepare enough food and grass to prepare to send troops to Chencang County with me. Sirs, this battle is related to the national destiny of Shu and domestic political affairs.
, so please leave it to the gentlemen."
"I should do my best!"
Everyone heard the words and answered in unison.
Everyone knew Wang Can's habits and knew that Wang Can wanted to lead the army himself.
In particular, the war with Maodun is related to the future direction of the Shu Kingdom. As long as this battle is won, the Shu Kingdom will have a stable rear area in the subsequent wars. It will not have to worry about the rear, and it can even rely on Liang.
The state provides ample food.
This is what Wang Can values.
Wang Can issued another order, all of which were for battle this time.
This time when he went to war, Wang Can still brought Cao Cao with him, but he asked Cao Pi to work in Shu. Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Xu Chu and other generals in the army would go out with Wang Can.
After everything was arranged, Wang Can gave the order to withdraw from the court.
The officials retreated, and Wang Can went to the harem.
This time, Wang Zhen did not go with Wang Can, but continued to handle state affairs with Cheng Yu and others. When Wang Can returned to the harem, Cai Yan, Da Qiao, Diao Chan and others came out to greet him. One by one, they saw Wang Can
They were all surprised by Wang Can's appearance. Because they had followed Wang Can for many years and were familiar with Wang Can's appearance when he was young, they were all surprised to see Wang Can become younger.
Deep in their hearts, there was even a hint of worry.
They are getting older, getting older, and their faces are getting older, but Wang Can still looks like a young man in his early twenties. Such a difference in appearance makes each of them feel a little uncomfortable.
They also want to accompany Wang Can and be with him all the time. (To be continued)
