I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 263 We can fight as long as Lu Xun wants! Fight until Lu Xun withdraws his troops!

On the eighth day of April, the summer wind blew through the flags of Wuzhangyuan.

On this day, the news of the victory over Jiangling also reached Wuzhangyuan.

After reading the good news, Zhuge Liang's hands were trembling and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

"Ji'an has conquered Jiangling!" Zhuge Liang held the victory report in one hand and said tremblingly, "Ji'an has conquered Jiangling! Jiangling has been conquered!"

Fei Yi was also very excited. He supported Zhuge Liang and said, "Prime Minister, take care of yourself."

"I want to ask for credit for him! I want to ask for credit for him personally! What kind of official position should I give him? How about fake Yue and adding Jingzhou Mu?"

Everyone was silent.

If Li Heng can really get Jingzhou back, let alone Jingzhou's pastoral affairs, it will not be a problem to record the affairs of the minister.

Yang Yi's face also showed surprise, and she began to wonder in her heart. Could it be that she had misjudged Li Heng before?

Is that guy really a genius?

"Prime Minister, if you capture Jiangling, doesn't it mean you can take back Jingzhou?" Yang Yi hesitated for a moment and then said.

"It's only a matter of time to capture Jiangling and take back Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang said, "As long as Jiangling is captured quickly, there are many ways to defend it. What's more, Ji'an has already reported to me all the strategies for conquering Jiangling."

Fei Yi said: "Prime Minister, I received intelligence this morning. Cao Wei is vigorously promoting government troops in Guanzhong. The increase of troops in various places is accelerating. I am afraid that Xiangyang is also implementing it."

Zhuge Liang said: "This is inevitable. Not only can we use it, Cao Wei has more households and people than us, but what I care more about is the flow of Shu money into Cao Wei."

Fei Yi replied: "Currently, tens of millions are flowing into Cao Wei every month. Although Cao Rui has explicitly banned our money, our money is flowing in faster than before. The official suspects that Wei officials are collecting the money." .”

"What Wen Wei means is that the Cao Wei official sent someone to take over the new salt business and then took all the money away?"

"It must be so." Fei Yi continued, "I heard that Cao Wei followed our example and set up a money bank in Guanzhong. I guess all Shu money is stored in the money bank."

"Cao Wei wants to prevent our money from flowing into the private sector." Yang Yi said, "But this strategy can only temporarily alleviate it. The increase in the amount of our money cannot be accommodated by one or two money banks. Cao Wei admits that our money is just It’s a matter of time.”

Zhuge Liang nodded. This was not only a financial issue, but also an administrative issue. Yang Yi was very proficient in administration.

"After Cao Wei's money bank can no longer accommodate it, Shu money enters the people. Cao Wei's next step is to mint Shu money." Zhuge Liang said, "This is what we want. From then on, we don't need to worry about military supplies, and Many things are easy to handle and easy to handle.”

Zhuge Liang stood up and muttered.

It's easy to handle.

Industrial clusters, joint-stock systems, and huge profit margins are enough for the Han army to quickly use profits to coerce some big families whenever they occupy a place, thereby quickly stabilizing the place.

In the early morning of April 9th, Li Heng packed up, walked out of the General's Mansion, and planned to leave the city.

"How are the arrangements going?" Li Heng asked Du Yu.

"The arrangements have been made. Farmers who farm, carpenters who build houses, craftsmen who weave, blacksmiths, etc. can all enroll in the school, and notices have been sent out, but no one is willing to come."

"It's not that they don't want to come, it's that they don't dare to come," Li Heng said. "In the past thousands of years, they couldn't study. Now that they are told that they can study, one of them doesn't believe it, and the other is that it's unnecessary."

"There are always people who are willing to take this first step." Du Yu said, "We may need a push."

"Let's go." Li Heng pulled the reins and walked towards the city gate.

At this time, Ma Yong came.

"General, the scouts in Xiangyang have received information that a large number of Wei troops have gathered in Xiangyang and headed south."

Ma Yong handed over a document.

Li Heng took the document and read it, and asked, "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Wei army?"

"Xia Houru." "Oh, it's him."

Du Yu said: "The Cao family is really impatient. They are so impatient to go south. This is obviously Lu Xun's fault."

"It's not lack of patience, but arrogance." Li Heng said, "Think about Cao Xiu in the Battle of Shiting. Lu Xun lured the enemy deep. Cao Xiu had seen through Lu Xun's plan, but he didn't withdraw his troops. Why?"

"Because he thinks he can defeat Wu Jun?"

"Yes, because he felt that he could defeat the Wu army. The outcome of the war was not determined by tactics. Everyone in the world knew that Lu Xun had many tricks, but few people knew that Lu Xun won every battle by relying on more than just tactics. When it comes to strategy, a commander should be calm. Whether he is the Prime Minister, Sima Yi, or Lu Xun, they are all masters in this aspect and no one can surpass them."

Having said this, Li Heng looked at Du Yu and said, "Do you know what I saw from Xia Houru?"

"what?"

"Weakness and ignorance are not the cause of self-destruction, arrogance is." Li Heng pulled the reins and walked forward, "If a man can control his inner arrogance, then he is already stronger than most people. If He can also learn with an open mind, be calm and nourish his energy, and he can surpass most people."

"At least don't put yourself in a risky position easily and mess up your mood."

Du Yu thought about these words of Li Heng, and looking at Li Heng's back, he felt more and more extraordinary about Li Heng.

An ordinary person, with a little bit of achievement, will float to the sky.

A person who has a little extra wealth in his family thinks about starting to spend it extravagantly.

A person with tens of thousands of troops in his hands controls countless lives and deaths. What is their mentality like?

There is a very interesting phenomenon: most people who drown are people who are proficient in water.

The weak have a self-protection mechanism, but the strong are prone to perish.

For example, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, such as Cao Shuang, Wei Yan, Yang Yi, etc.

When a man holds unlimited power, his mentality is completely different from that of a farmer or a man studying at home, and his behavior is naturally completely different.

After all, power is a man's aphrodisiac.

If a person can hold the military and political affairs of a country in his hands but act cautiously, then this person must be extraordinary.

For example, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Lu Xun, these three people are all rare heroes in the world.

Thinking of this, Du Yu glanced at Li Heng's back again.

Who is Li Heng?

At this time, he was already a prince with an army of hundreds of thousands, and he was sitting on one side.

Du Yu rode up to catch up and asked: "The Wei army is going south. Do we have to fight the Wei army first and let Lu Xun finish it?"

"There is one thing that Lu Xun did not expect. Lu Xun thought that we were isolated and helpless in Jiangling and could not replenish food and grass. When the Wei army fought with us, he would send warships to cut off the food and grass transportation in the Yangtze River. Lu Xun did not really expect that the Wei army would definitely win. We, after all, the situation in Guanzhong is right there."

"The fundamental reason why Lu Xun thinks he will win this game is that he thinks there will be problems with our food and grass." At this point, Li Heng laughed, "Wei Jun wants to join in the fun, then fight!"

"We are determined to conquer the Central Plains through the Northern Expedition, but we don't even dare to fight this battle. How can we unify the world in the future!"

"The Wei army is coming to fight! Then fight! They will fight for as long as they say!"

"Lu Xun is coming to fight, then we will continue to fight! Fight until Lu Xun withdraws his troops! Fight until Sun Quan asks for peace!"

"Jingzhou, we are determined!"
