Chapter 402 Going the opposite way
Liu Chan is not a fool. Although he is young, he has been tutoring famous teachers since childhood and is influenced by them. He always has more or less insights into the current situation.
At this time, after hearing the words of these two grandfathers, I had a little more or less enlightenment in my heart.
"That's how I think my man seems to be prosperous and prosperous, and rich and healthy, but the disaster may have been laid heavily. Eighty-hundred thousand pairs of plate armor are already a big mistake in the world. But what if the 800,000 plate armor is made? The workers still have to start work, and the soldiers still want to kill the enemy. The generals of the large and small army in the army will still be unable to withstand loneliness. Will they still need to be rebuilt after 800,000? When will this be the end? Isn't this a drinking poison to quench thirst? In addition to this iron political, I believe that Ma Zheng is already a serious surplus at the moment, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao nodded with a wry smile and said, "Indeed, in Yongzhou, there are more than 2 million good horses. Although it is used for a lot of civilians, half of them can be converted, and even half of them can be selected, it will be 500,000. Based on one person and two horses, it is enough to be driven by 250,000 cavalrymen. Indeed, it cannot be raised anymore."
"Then can Ma Zheng stop?"
"This... the company on Ma Zheng's side has the big interests in Liangzhou people such as Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu. They have close contacts with the Thirteen corpses of Yongliang. In short, many people at this year's salt and iron conference have indeed proposed that they cannot expand the scale of Ma Zheng, and suggested that... go to Liangzhou to raise more camels."
Liu Chan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "That is to say, tie the land of Liangzhou to your carriage completely. The father would definitely not agree."
"If they don't agree, they will raise them. Although they are all directly under the jurisdiction of Shangshutai, everyone is nominally from the court, but everyone still eats the food separately. As long as they want to raise them, there is always a way to avoid the government orders."
Liu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "So, my father pushed me out of the country. He couldn't handle these things well, or he felt that this was too difficult, or he felt that it was too offensive, or he was afraid that something would cause trouble and even shake the foundation of the country, so he asked me to deal with it? And he gave up in the name of seclusion and let me do whatever I did. If he didn't do well, it would be my responsibility. If there was any trouble, he would come forward personally to protect the situation?"
Cao Cao and Liu Bei looked at each other, then nodded together.
Liu Chan's expression became even more miserable: "It's too high to put me out if he can't solve the problem, but he pushed me out. Isn't it too high to put me on the stove?"
After saying that, Liu Chan called Cao and Liu and the other two kowtowed: "Please save the child for the sake of their mothers and cut this piece of rotten meat from the court! Isn't this the meaning of the father's roasting me?"
Seeing this, Cao and Liu naturally helped Liu Chan up quickly, but they were all embarrassed.
After a while, Cao Cao said: "The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Even if this matter is solved, it will never be possible to be accomplished overnight. Even if we are willing to help you, the corruption of this matter lies in the bottom up. Even if I give my all my strength, I may not be able to solve it. Zen, you get up first."
Liu Chan was about to bow and force him again when he heard this. Cao Cao hurriedly pulled him down and pressed his shoulders, and said sincerely: "I am not perfunctory, nor is it unwilling to help you. Chan'er, your grandfather, I was already a great minister twenty years ago. Even if I die now, I will be the second Duke of Zhou and the model of ministers in the future."
"Now, I am in my sixties. Duke of Wei has a fief of 100,000 households. I can't spend all the money. Among the clan members, Cao Chun and Cao Ren are all county marquises. Among the descendants, your third uncle Cao Zhang has also become the Nine Ministers. He has entered the Military Affairs Office. His relatives and friends have all been arranged in front of him and behind him. In this way, he has no other choice. To be honest, I wanted to retire more than ten years ago! Fame, wealth, power and status are of no use to me. Isn't it all for you? How could I stop your future in order to cherish my wings?"
After all the words, Liu Chan was quite moved.
Liu Bei also said: "This matter is not unwilling, but it is really impossible. Your Majesty also knows the difficulties of our two people, and has never forced them over the years. I think this matter may not necessarily need to be saved by cutting off the flesh."
"To put it bluntly, raising troops for a thousand days will require a temporary military service. Your Majesty has been suppressed by Duke Wei for retirement. Isn't it just to help you become an adult? Since you have already won the championship, you will immediately order you to supervise the country, maybe you want to use troops."
Cao Cao also nodded and said, "Indeed, if Chan'er can lead the army to personally fight, it is not necessary to say the benefits of personal prestige. Once this war starts, many things will naturally be revitalized. The soldiers can finally make contributions, and military-industrial enterprises will not worry about not having orders, but will focus on building plate armor for the sake of starting work."
"War? As soon as I was supervising the country, how could my father be happy?"
Cao Cao said: "There is no need to ask for instructions. I will do some provocative things, and then you will make the decision at the moment. Anyway, I have long wanted to retire."
When he heard that the war was finally going to fight, before Liu Chan could react, Liu Bei said excitedly: "Do you want to fight a big war? Who is Mr. Wei planning to fight?"
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Overall, small countries are already a drop in the bucket when fighting. There is still a great Kushan in the Western Regions. You might as well order Zihe to destroy him. Zihe has worked in the Western Regions for fifteen years and it is time to come back. After returning with the merit of destroying the country, it is just right to take over my servitude at the Military Office, and I can enjoy my old age."
When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
The great Han Dynasty, Roman Kushan, was the four great powers in the world today. In terms of national strength, Kushan is even stronger than the Kushan.
However, this Kushan originated from the Great Yuezhi, and had a bit of incense from the Great Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Its country is now called unification, but in fact it is divided. The king, Kanesega II, has always been respectful to the Great Han Dynasty, and even sent envoys to pay tribute every year and bowed down to the emperor.
More importantly, the Kushan country is now the first trading partner of the Han Dynasty. Many of the goods of the Han Dynasty were sold through the Kushan period. Both the two countries exchanged goods frequently, whether in commodity or cultural exchanges.
So, why should a nominal vassal state beat him, which is obviously stronger than Anxi, but respectful and friendly neighboring country?
Just because he was in charge of the country? Just because Cao Chun wanted to do something big before returning to the court? Just because... the 800,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty were thirsty for a long time?
This is too domineering!
Why do you think this is not very much like helping me stabilize the political situation, but more like Cao Cao, who has been unable to hold it in, is using me as an excuse to fight?
But I suddenly felt that this great man would sooner or later be pushed toward the endless quagmire of war by this huge interest group led by his two grandfathers.
However, when fighting Kushan, it must have been Cao Chun's Western Regions Corps and Cao Cao's own Yongliang Corps. How could Liu Bei be willing to do so? He continued: "Zhao Wei, Shu Kingdom, has lived a lot of life in these years. Yizhou is the foundation of his ancestors and must not be abandoned. It is better to have Chan'er take charge of the command and command the imperial army personally. How can he take the merit of destroying Shu?"
Liu Chan was stunned again when he heard this.
It seems that what these two grandfathers are going to do now is completely contrary to what their father wants to do.
Are you two helping me or taking the blame?
But I felt that the military-industrial complex is the disease of my great man's tarsal bones.
