People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 310
In the fourth year of Chuping, autumn!
After half a year of fighting, Li Yao took Yizhou completely. After finishing all the arrangements, he gathered his troops and prepared to go back to Guanzhong.

Of course, before going back, enough money, food, silk and silk were transferred from the treasuries of the counties in Yizhou to reward the army.

Not being rewarded for meritorious deeds is chilling, especially for low-level soldiers. After the war is over, rewards should be distributed as quickly as possible to ensure loyalty.

Yizhou is peaceful, but Yizhou is rich. This time the attack on Yizhou, the rewards given to the soldiers were all from Yizhou, and Li Yao was greatly relieved. Otherwise, the Guanzhong court would not be enough to bleed. A war, from the beginning to the end, requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources... It is not a small amount.

Of course, like Cao Cao, wherever he fights, grabs, and kills, the cost of war can be greatly reduced, but his reputation is not very good, and now the Central Plains is abusing him.

Back in Guanzhong, besides the army, Li Yao was surrounded by Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang definitely couldn't stay in Yizhou, lest some people want to use Liu Zhang to make trouble.

Liu Yan died and was buried in Yizhou. When Liu Zhang returned to Guanzhong, his life and death would no longer matter.

In addition to Liu Zhang, there are also a group of people from the Yizhou family, starting with Zhang Su and Zhang Song, as well as the Liu family in Shu County, the Du family... the Zhou family in Berkshire, the Zhao family...

In order to better control Yizhou, he arranged his own people in important positions, such as Shu County, Ba County, Qianwei County, and Guanghan County.

But Li Yao didn't treat them badly, he could take them to Guanzhong and arrange important positions in the imperial court, which could be regarded as a consolation.

They all went to Guanzhong, and they were all promoted by Li Yao to rob those veteran officials of their status and power.

It is impossible for all people to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, otherwise they would not divide the Three Kingdoms first and then return to the Jin Dynasty.

As long as there are Li Yao's people in the court, Li Yao doesn't need to speak in the future, there will be people who can go further for themselves, and thus keep pushing Li Yao to go further.

If Li Yao was a loyal minister, it would be very embarrassing to face this situation, but Li Yao is not a good person, and he would only be happy to see the success of this situation.

Take the Shu road again and return to Hanzhong!

Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji also led their troops to leave Berkshire and return to Hanzhong from Micang Road. This time they were also helpless and did not make any great achievements.

Although Li Jue and Guo Si did not defeat Yan Yan and Gan Ning in front of Berkshire, after all, one side is attacking and the other is defending. Attacking is indeed more difficult than defending, but attacking Berkshire with partial divisions has no credit but hard work.

Compared with Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, they are better. Fan Chou has contributed to capturing Jiange, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu intercepted and killed Wu Yi, and [-] Dongzhou soldiers are also creditable.

At this time, Li Yao took back Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, but at the same time he had to bid farewell to Beigong Boyu. Li Yao took the Bao ramp back to Guanzhong, and Beigong Boyu took Qishan Road back to Hanyang.

Before parting, Li Yao hosted a banquet with wine.

During the banquet, Li Yao looked at Beigong Boyu toasted a glass of wine, and then said with a smile:

"My father-in-law, why don't you go to Guanzhong with me, and I will let all the officials come out to greet you, it will be so beautiful!"

Beigong Boyu's heart moved, but he was physically and mentally exhausted. He just wanted to take a wider and gentler road at this time, and go back to have a good rest.

The conditions in the army were not good, and the road to Shu was even more difficult, which made him a little bit overwhelmed, so he waved his hands and said helplessly:
"Forget it, I don't care about whether the wind is not beautiful. This time I went to the battlefield again, and I realized that I am really old!"

Hearing this, Li Yao was silent for a moment. He was also killed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. He is used to life and death, but the hero's twilight, no one can avoid it. He always comforted him and said:
"Army conquests are exhausting. My father-in-law goes back to take care of his health. Whenever he comes over, I will lead all the officials to welcome him. In the future, he will also write it down in the history books!"

Beigong Boyu's eyes widened, and the more he looked at Li Yao, the more satisfied he became. For his current position, many things have been overlooked. His son and son-in-law are all capable, and because of this, he himself became a chariot general, Marquis of Ji. What is there not to be satisfied with? Now Li Yao still has to arrange for all officials to welcome him. He just laughed and said:
"Well, I must come here. I am General Chariot, Marquis Ji, but I have never paid homage to the Son of Heaven. I should come, I should come!"

Li Yao also showed a smile. This time when he went south to attack Shuzhong, he didn't seem to have fought a tough battle, but thanks to Beigong Boyu and his army, he had an absolute advantage in strength. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to persuade him to surrender.

He leads 4 to [-] people, and if the opponent thinks he can defend, then this war will be fought.

The next day!

Li Yao led people and sent Beigong Boyu and his army out of Yangping Pass. Li Yao never treated Beigong Boyu's soldiers badly, anyway, all the rewards came from the treasury of Yizhou counties.

Therefore, Li Yao's rewards are naturally very generous. If there is enough stimulation, he will be more active in the next recruitment.

After sending Beigong Boyu away, Li Yao did not leave immediately, but went to Yang Song to explain the situation.

Li Yao explained patiently:

"About your clan brother, Yang Bo, he is Hu Zhen's lieutenant general in Qianwei. When he attacked Liu Yan, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers were gathered in Nanzhong. Although they were resolved in the end, I decided to be on guard. I left them there. He will have his own future, either as a local prefect, or directly as an official in the court!"

Yang Song didn't dare to question Li Yao, and from Li Yao's point of view, this was definitely not exile, it was completely reuse, so he quickly said:

"If I can be favored by the general, if I can't repay the general without complaint, I will definitely write a letter to scold him and let him know how stupid I am!"

Li Yao waved his hands, looked at Yang Song and continued:

"You contributed to Nanzheng, built roads, and transported food and grass. I have seen all of these. Now I will give you an important task. As the governor of the county, you will mobilize manpower and material resources from Hanzhong to widen the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, so that money and grain from Hanzhong and Yizhou can be transported to Guanzhong.

Li Yao wanted to turn Hanzhong into a county in Guanzhong, but the premise was that the roads would be clear, otherwise there would be no way to manage it.

This is for two considerations, one is for Guanzhong to face Yizhou, so that it can occupy more active advantages, and the other is for Hanzhong's money and food to flow into Guanzhong.

Guanzhong, as a king's foundation, is not bad, but if it is the capital of a great empire, it will be a little worse. The main problem is the food problem. Once the population increases, Guanzhong's food will not be enough.

If Hanzhong, or even Yizhou, transports money and food into Guanzhong, this situation can be greatly alleviated.

When Yang Song heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then felt a great pressure. It would not take one year, two years, or three years to widen the road. It would take at least ten years to mobilize manpower and material resources.

The Eastern Han Dynasty used Luoyang as its capital, but the Western Han Dynasty used Chang'an as its capital. If it were so easy to widen the roads, the Shu Road would have become a major road and a smooth road.
