At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Of course not! Liu Zhang refused without thinking.

Liangzhou is thousands of miles away, and the situation is extremely complicated. Once you get there, you will immediately become the target of public criticism! Liu Zhang would not be so stupid to take on such a drudgery!

"Your Majesty, the rebel army in Liangzhou has turned into a prairie fire. If our army is going to go on an expedition, we must bring a large army! But some time ago, according to Da Sinong, the treasury can no longer afford such a large military operation!"

As soon as he heard about money, Liu Hong obviously felt distressed. But this time the threat was too great, so I could only endure the severe pain to ask.

"How many soldiers and horses does Liu Aiqing need? If it's not enough, I can support some first."

Liu Hong's words were beyond Liu Zhang's expectations. He did not expect that Liu Hong, who is so addicted to money, would take the initiative to pay for it!

Looking at Liu Zhang who was deep in thought, Liu Hong felt extremely disturbed! He was afraid that Liu Zhang would say a number that would not go up or down!

If there is less, Liu Hong will naturally take the money happily, but if there is more, Liu Hong can also directly refuse.

"At least 200,000 troops are needed! And at least 18 months' worth of food and grass must be prepared!"

Sure enough, Liu Zhang said the number that Liu Hong didn't want to hear!

Two hundred thousand troops, nearly two years of food and grass!

Only this constant number is the most difficult for Liu Hong to accept!

Promise, it will be extremely painful! If you don't agree, you won't worry about the situation in Liangzhou!

"Isn't this too much? The 200,000-strong army is going on an expedition, this burden is too great!"

Seeing Liu Hong's embarrassed expression, Liu Zhang could only reply Liu Hong with an apology.

"Your Majesty, how far is Liangzhou from Luoyang? Two hundred thousand troops cannot be assembled overnight. It will be hard to say what the situation will be like after gathering all the troops and horses and going to Liangzhou for several months! Bad plan, Liangzhou may have already fallen!"

Liu Hong couldn't sit still anymore, he couldn't stop making small movements with his hands, he looked hesitant.

Liu Zhang understood it, and Liu Hong probably didn't want to take the money. This is Liangzhou, which will invade Sanfu and threaten Diling and Luoyang all the time. If it is Jiaozhou and Youzhou, Liu Hong will never hesitate so much and let the state and county handle it by themselves!

At this moment, Liu Hong was not thinking about what to do if Liangzhou fell, or what to do if the emperor's mausoleum was threatened, but thinking about how he could earn back the money if he took out the money!

I'm afraid that if you sell all the officials of Liangzhou University, big and small, you won't be able to make any money!

Liu Hong absolutely cannot do this kind of loss-making business!

Liu Hong had already made up his mind and refused to pay! But if you don't send troops to Liangzhou, what should you do if the situation becomes corrupt?

"Your Majesty, if the treasury is tight, I have a solution!"

"Oh? Tell me, Aiqing!"

Liu Hong looked happy, as long as he is not allowed to pay, he can do anything!

"Your Majesty, what the rebels are doing in Liangzhou is actually internal friction. In fact, what we are afraid of is that they will suddenly attack from Liangzhou and we will not respond in time. We have been notified by Governor Geng before, and we can respond in time. Now there is no Geng governor, maybe the next time the rebels hit Chang'an, we won't know!"

"In my opinion, we can guard the key points and garrison troops to prevent the Xiliang rebels from stealing. In this way, the minimum consumption can be exchanged for the maximum results!"

Liu Hong nodded, agreeing with Liu Zhang's words, but he still felt uneasy.

"Liu Aiqing, this can prevent these rebels from raiding the east, but like you said, if all the Qiang people rebel, what should we do if we gather an army of one million!"

Liu Zhang smiled, "Your Majesty, please be at ease, I haven't finished talking yet!"

"Yizhou borders Liangzhou, and Hanzhong County bears the brunt of it. Most of the counties and counties that Hanzhong belongs to border on the Qiang people. If His Majesty can send generals to station in Hanzhong, it will definitely deter some Qiang people's evil intentions!"

"Liangzhou invaded the land of Sanfu. There are only two ways. One is to take the soldiers from Anding County to Meiyang, and the other is to go to Tianshui County to attack Chencang! If two generals are sent to lead elite troops to garrison here, Xiliang will definitely be held back." Army, give the imperial court time to react! The most important and crucial point here is that Hanzhong County can go straight to Tianshui by taking the Qishan Road! If the rebels dare to invade Sanfu, they can go straight to the hinterland of Liangzhou from Hanzhong County! Liangzhou will be lost , Xiliang rebels are like duckweed without roots, they can only be slaughtered by our army!"

The more Liu Hong listened to it, the more pleasantly surprised he was. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to have such a money-saving countermeasure! Moreover, all expenses in Hanzhong County will naturally be supplied by Yizhou Governor's Mansion, so Liu Hong doesn't need to spend a penny!

"Aiqing is worthy of being the pillar of the country! There is such a saving of money. Ah, no, such a perfect countermeasure!"

"I wonder if Liu Aiqing can be chosen?"

Of course Liu Zhang had someone to choose, and what he was waiting for was Liu Hong's question.

"Your Majesty, Polu General Dong Zhuo is at Fufeng on the right. Let him lead his subordinates to Meiyang. Huangfusong was defeated in the previous battle. Let him take the crime and make meritorious deeds and go to Chencang to garrison. It's just this Hanzhong..."

Liu Zhang pretended to be in a difficult situation. He must not recommend himself, lest Liu Hong have any ideas.

"Your Majesty, Hanzhong County has a lot to do with it, and we need a man with both wisdom and courage! It is necessary to coordinate the relationship between the Qiang people, but also to be able to seize subtle opportunities. The most important thing is to have the courage to lead a surprise army into Liangzhou!"

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he shook his head, looking very embarrassed.

Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang strangely, and even became a little annoyed.

"Why, after marrying my daughter, you don't want to share my worries?"

Liu Zhang looked terrified, and hurriedly handed over his hands and apologized.

"Ah? Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"Liu Aiqing, who in this Manchu Dynasty is better at fighting than you?"

This... Didn't this speak to my heart? Liu Zhang was overjoyed, but still looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I am young and have insufficient qualifications. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility? I just want to guard Your Majesty and listen to His Majesty's teachings every day!"

Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhang calmly and didn't say anything. This made Liu Zhang uneasy.

It's bad, what if Liu Hong really thinks that I can't bear Luo Yang!

Just when Liu Zhang was secretly regretting in his heart, Liu Hong showed a moved look.

"As expected of my good son-in-law, I finally saw you right! But right now, it's a time of crisis for the big man, you must not have the kindness of a woman like this!"

Liu Zhang didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly followed Liu Hong's words.

"Your Majesty, even if I dare to take over this post, I am afraid that the ministers will not agree? After all, the minister is not yet a weak crown, how can they rest assured that the minister will take over the prefect of a county?"

When Liu Hong heard Liu Zhang's words, he knew that Liu Zhang had agreed, and he felt relieved.

"The ministers wanted you to leave Luoyang quickly, how could they stop you?"

"Since that is the case, I will obey His Majesty's orders!"

Liu Hong nodded in satisfaction. In his opinion, Liu Zhang is both a clan and a son-in-law. Regardless of his status, status, or ability, he is the most satisfying person.

With Liu Zhang in Hanzhong, Liu Hong is absolutely at ease.
