I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 101 Win over Lu Zhi
What if the Han army pushed the Wei army to the ground and rubbed it in Guanzhong?
If this is the case, Sun Quan knows the consequences better than anyone else.

With Zhuge Liang's talent, he would definitely be eyeing Luoyang if he occupied Guanzhong.

Within a few years, the war between Han and Wei would continue to escalate.

At that time, Sun Quan was not sure whether Wei could stop Zhuge Liang.

Didn't Sun Quan join forces with Zhuge Liang to attack Wei?
He is actually still worried about Cao Wei?

That's right!

Sun Quan is a scumbag!

He was worried on both sides.

He was not only worried that Ji Han would be disadvantaged in the battle in Guanzhong, but also worried that Cao Wei would lose Guanzhong.

To put it simply, he was not only afraid that Ji Han would be destroyed by Cao Wei and there would be no one on the western front to attract firepower, but he was also worried that Ji Han would become stronger and have the ability to unify the world.

At that time, if there are only two families left, he, Sun Wu, will be the one who will die.

How long it takes to die is just a matter of time.

So Sun Quan was a famous master of balance during the Three Kingdoms period.

Sun Quan: I have never thought about unifying the world. Neither you two nor anyone can think about it. As long as I, Sun Zhongmou, am still here, you should stop daydreaming!

The current situation is that Zhuge Liang has been fighting in Guanzhong for a year. If the fight did not go smoothly, Zhuge Liang would have retreated long ago.

I haven’t quit after playing for a year. What’s the reason?

Zhuge Jin knew it, Lu Xun knew it, and Gu Yong also knew it.

It is impossible for Sun Quan not to know!

The Wei army must have been beaten in a very embarrassed manner.

Cao and Wei both sent envoys.

What if we send troops to Hefei at this time and really defeat Cao Wei?
Sun Quan calculated this account very clearly in his mind.

Assuming that Cao Wei's western front is unfavorable and continues to increase its troops, Sun Quan will forcefully move northward at this time and finally capture Hefei.

So next, can Sun Quan guarantee that he will reach Luoyang before Zhuge Liang?
If not, the final situation will be that Ji Han and Sun Wu will divide Cao and Wei. Who will take the majority?
Anyone can figure it out with their toenails.

When there are only two families left, Sun Quan seems to have gained more territory. Whatever situation he faces next, he must have some leverage.

Therefore, tactics are operated under the guidance of strategy.

I want to take Hefei, but the prerequisite is that Zhuge Liang cannot take Guanzhong.

The best situation is that both sides in Guanzhong suffer losses, Zhuge Liang retreats, Cao Wei's troops in the southeast are weakened, and I can almost win with Hefei.

"Since you all think it's unnecessary, just follow what Derun said!"

On the sixth day of April, the weather was sunny.

In early summer, the weather is not only sunny, but the breeze is also gentle.

Li Heng was quite free these days. He took Lu Zhi for a stroll in the fields.

Li Heng said: "Shiying, look how well Tianshui is managed by you."

"Li Gong is very complimentary. I just tried my best."

"A few days ago, I asked when I went to deliver plows, and the people all praised you."

"My father was killed by Guo Si. I was still young at that time. I was homeless and suffered all the hardships in the world. Later, fortunately, the county governor recommended me as a senior planner, so I had an official career and no longer suffered from hunger and cold."

Lu Zhi's tone was calm and her expression was calm.

"I have suffered so much and know how bitter it is. How can I bear to see others like me."

Li Heng couldn't help but be surprised.

In this world, the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs.

Some people suffered hardships since childhood, but when they grow up and have opportunities, they help the people.

And some people suffered hardships since childhood, but when they grow up and have opportunities, they bully the weak even more viciously.

Only those who can empathize with others can accomplish something!

Li Heng smiled and said: "It seems that you and the Prime Minister must be close friends."

"I have heard of Zhuge Kongming's name for a long time, but I dare not be arrogant."

"We are all people, so how can we differentiate between high and low?" Li Heng pointed to the front and said, "Look at our army, since it entered Tianshui, has it disturbed the people?"

Lu Zhi hesitated and said, "I have never disturbed the people."

"Not only have we not disturbed the people, we now distribute new farm tools to the people, encourage farming and punish bullies."

Seeing that Lu Zhi didn't reply, Li Heng said: "The people of the world have been suffering from war for a long time. Why doesn't Shiying put down his guard and work with us to restore peace to the world?"

"If Zhuge Kongming can let go of his obsessions, the world will be at peace." Li Heng said: "If the Central Plains is handed over to the Cao family, will the people live better than they did a hundred years ago?"

Lu Zhi said: "The people are at peace."

"Where's the department store?"

Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment and then said: "The department store is not obvious."

During the Han Dynasty, private commerce was still very prosperous.

But nowadays, people almost barter.

"If you manage it, will you be able to achieve smooth governance?"

"Not now, but certainly in the future."

"How to say?"

"Because I can recast five baht coins."

"Do you want to re-coin the five-baht coin?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the risks?"

"I know."

"Then you still dare to do that?"

"If we want to make the world peaceful, we must do this. Not only that, we must also lightly tax the people. The policy of farming for decades has made the people suffer for a long time!"

"Then you still want to abolish farming?"

"No, it's Juntian!"

"Then do you know how dangerous this is?"

"Of course I know."

The way Lu Zhi looked at Li Heng had changed.

"Why are you talking to me today, Mr. Li?"

"The road ahead is difficult, and we need close friends and close friends to overcome the difficulties together."

"Why are you inviting me? I'm not familiar with Mr. Li."

"It's all for the people!" After saying that, Li Heng walked forward, "Come on, Shiying, let's try the Quyuan Li."

Although Lu Zhi did not express his position, he was still touched in his heart.

He chased after him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"How about being the prefect of Tianshui County, checking the Tianshui household registration, and redistributing the fields to each household with fifty acres of land?"

"Zhao's field?"

"Yes, we must prevent anyone among them from enriching their own pockets."

"Will you allocate fields again in other places in the future?"

"We'll talk about the future later. There's still a long way to go. If you do it in Tianshui first, you'll know the pros and cons later."

Li Heng calculated in his mind that if Longyou was settled, he would definitely be recalled by Zhuge Liang.

If the overall situation in Guanzhong is settled, Zhuge Liang may start discussing with himself the strategy of sending troops to Jingzhou.

Because the Guanzhong strategy turned from a concept into a reality, Zhuge Liang saw the hope of the strategy Li Heng mentioned.

Everyone knows that Sun Quan is a mediocre person and cannot be counted on at critical moments.

Since there is no hope, taking back Jingzhou and devouring Soochow is an inevitable strategy.

The so-called battle in Guanzhong cannot be carried out quickly, and the capture of Jingzhou cannot be carried out slowly.

What is said here about taking Jingzhou slowly is that we must take Jingzhou immediately, but wait until we are ready to start the battle of Jingzhou. This war cannot be delayed.

Before that, Li Heng needed to prepare too much.

If so, he will definitely enter the Chengdu political arena.

Zhao and Lu Zhi both surrendered to the enemy, and they needed to find support in the court.

If Li Heng doesn't rely on them, they will rely on others.

Therefore, attracting talents is also his top priority now.

Lu Zhi is an upright person, responsible and has no background entanglements in Yizhou. He will definitely be a useful person when the time comes.

On the tenth day of April, Sima Yi hurriedly arrived in Luoyang and met Cao Rui.
