But if the Han Dynasty chooses Nanyang as one of the main directions to go north, then Huaixi cannot just stand firm.
Huaixi also needs to take the initiative.
For Lu Zicai, who was stationed in Huaixi, this was certainly not a problem.
Even for the generals of the Han army stationed in any place, as long as they have enough money and food, they can fight to the ends of the world.
Now is the final stage of the founding of the country. After Yu Wenxian has been solved, there is almost no force around the Han Dynasty that can really threaten the Han Dynasty and bring the Han Dynasty to the point of life and death. Be it the Tuyuhun people in the northwest or the Tiele people in the north.
, even if you include the Linyi people in the south who are like clowns, the big man has nothing to fear.
Therefore, the generals all expected to make great achievements, especially in the battle with Yu Wenxian.
But Li Xingchen couldn't allow it.
Because Li Xingchen not only had to face military problems, but also economic problems.
Whether it is military or economic, it is ultimately to solve political problems.
The Han Dynasty has no way, at least not yet enough national strength, to ensure that the army will attack across the board and at the same time ensure that the domestic economy will not collapse.
Now the various administrative policies of the Han Dynasty are being rolled out, and the main focus is to revive the economy that has been devastated by three hundred years of chaos. Only by ensuring the stable development of the economy can we stabilize people's hearts.
The main purpose of Li Xingchen's return to Jiankang Mansion this time was also to show off his cards to the aristocratic families, and the significance of the showdown with the aristocratic families was to liberate the economy of the Han Dynasty from the hands of the aristocratic families. It would no longer be the aristocratic families that dominated the economic development, but the imperial court.
It is a form of leadership and full participation of the people. The wealth of the aristocratic families led to the poverty of the court and the people, but in the end it was the court that the people stood up to overthrow. This is a problem that must be solved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the current Han Dynasty is, it will probably be just a flash in the pan in the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
And since they have to make concessions to the economy, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to launch a full-scale attack.
After weighing the two aspects, Li Xingchen would rather sacrifice the Han army and turn an all-out attack in which everyone can make achievements into a focused attack. Now it seems that the focus of the Han attack is Huaidong, Nanyang, Guanzhong and Hetao, while Huaixi, Puban
These offensive directions will be abandoned.
This may mean that the Han army will pay greater sacrifices, but it can save the court money and food expenses to the greatest extent, thereby preventing the country's economy from collapsing again after it has just taken shape, and preventing aristocratic families from taking advantage of this
Opportunities reappear.
Li Xingchen didn't speak for a long time, and Chen Zhishen seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak again. Cao Zhong stood up in a hurry and said: "Your Majesty, as long as Wang Gui can be contained, we can hope to invade."
Luoyang."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I hope you can understand the country's financial difficulties due to years of war. After all, I would rather we maintain the status quo than do not want our soldiers to have to fight naked in the future."
His Majesty opened his mouth to lighten the atmosphere, and everyone smiled.
Li Xingchen then said: "However, how this battle should be fought and how to fight it well does require everyone's brainstorming. I have never thought about taking the initiative in Huaixi to entangle the enemies in Runan. I must be here."
Similar problems will exist in other places. Xu Chang immediately ordered all the army commanders to be careful to guard against such problems. By the time the war really broke out, it would be too late. At the same time, he ordered the Taiwei Mansion to immediately deal with all
Check for deficiencies in the combat plan, and if it fails, send personnel to conduct on-site inspections. Be sure to implement it!"
"I obey!" Xu Chang agreed hastily.
Chen Zhishen and others breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty obviously has no intention of saying everything to death. In this case, there is still room for maneuver.
Even if the imperial court did not agree to a full-scale war in the end, at least some of the Han troops would not squat on the defensive line and watch the show.
"Is there anything going on over there in Yingchuan?" Li Xingchen walked slowly up the city wall of Nanyang.
Behind him were Chen Yu in white robes and Yang Su who joined the army. Of course, Yang Su could no longer be called the young soldier. Li Xingchen gave the order when he left Chang'an.
history.
Changshi is an official title with a long history. In the Qin Dynasty, Changshi was established as an official subordinate to the prime minister, Taiwei and Yushi. In the Han Dynasty, Changshi was the first among subordinate officials. For example, in the Shu Han Dynasty
Yang Yi, the chief minister of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, had great power. After Zhuge Liang's death, it was Yang Yi who took charge of the army on Zhuge Liang's behalf.
It is already obvious that Yang Su has become the chief official. He will definitely take over the position of Lieutenant Xiao Mohe in the future. Even now, Yang Su is already fulfilling the duties of the Lieutenant. However, it was because he was with the younger generation such as Li Xingchen.
Xiao Mohe, who felt guilty about the conflict that broke out in the previous Battle of Jingzhou, was also unwilling to stay in this position too long.
His son Xiao Shilian has become a highly respected official, and his younger son Xiao Shilue has also joined the Huainan Army. There is nothing to worry about the future of the Xiao family. As an elder, Xiao Mahalai has been reluctant to move in this position. For his young family
Of course it's not a good thing.
As for where Yang Su will go in the future, everyone is also looking forward to it. Ever since he came to the Han Dynasty, His Majesty has placed great trust in him, and some people even speculate whether Yang Su will reach the position of Prime Minister in the future.
However, judging from the current internal official title system of the Han Dynasty, in fact, Zaifu is not really inferior to one person, but superior to ten thousand people. Not to mention that besides Zaifu, there is also the separation of powers between Taiwei Mansion and Yushitai.
There are also six ministries and provinces under the command. These are nominally owned by Zaifu, but in fact they have great autonomy and the power to directly compete with His Majesty. Zaifu is more like a subordinate when His Majesty is not in the court.
Temporary guardian and sounding board.
It is natural for an old man like Gu Yewang to hold such an official position, but it would be a bit "wasteful" for a young man like Yang Su to hold it.
Therefore, now everyone thinks that Yang Su may eventually become a Taiwei, a real Taiwei who can preside over the national military.
As for Yang Su, there is actually not much difference.
It is enough for him to have actual power in his hands.
"The attitudes of each family in Yingchuan are ambiguous and hard to fathom," Chen Yu said helplessly.
When Li Xingchen asked about the news in Yingchuan, he was actually asking about the attitude of the Yingchuan family.
In the history of China, aristocratic families were often dominated by one family, such as the Pei family of Wenxi and the Yang family of Hongnong. It is rare to hear of any family in Wenxi or Hongnong that could dominate the world with one hand.
But Yingchuan is a different kind. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, aristocratic families have gathered in this place, and there are still many real talents!
