Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"Report to Your Majesty, the general was defeated and retreated to Xindu, leaving only more than 2 soldiers and horses in his hands."

Liu Zhangma wiped off his cold sweat, and said in a panic, "How is the war between the south and the east?"

"Zhao Feng and Tai Shici's army are clearing the way into Sichuan. Although they are moving slowly, they are less than three hundred miles away from Chengdu."

Liu Zhang has a big head, this Cao Shuo is really a perfidious bastard, he turned his face on him as soon as he sent supplies to him.

What's even more exasperating is that he didn't send anyone to persuade him to surrender.

Liu Zhang was powerless to resist, but no one came to persuade him to surrender, so what should he do.

You can't send someone to say, he is willing to surrender, he is the king of a country anyway.

"Your Majesty, the general is besieged in the new capital, shall we rescue him?"

"Do we still have soldiers?"

Liu Zhang thought about it. If he remembered correctly, there were 3 troops on the east front, 2 on the south front, and more than 1 troops left in Chengdu. He had no soldiers to send.

Qiao Zhou suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we surrender? Cao Shuo has nearly 20 troops besieging Chengdu, and we have no hope of winning."

The clans in the Shu region wanted to find a stable backer for their development, but Liu Zhang had reached the end of the road, and it was not worthy of their continued allegiance.

Huang Quan said angrily: "Qiao Zhou, how can you say such a thing when the enemy is in front of you."

Liu Zhang said: "Our state of Shu is far less powerful than Cao Shuo, perhaps the only way to go is to surrender."

Since someone asked him to surrender, he must find a way to go down.

After carrying it hard to the end, there is a dead end.

He is the only one left among the princes in the world, and now Cao Shuo's army has reached his door, and the Kingdom of Shu is over.

Huang Quan suggested: "Your Majesty, our Shu Kingdom still has the strength to fight."

Sikong Xu Jing said: "General You, when we had hundreds of thousands of troops, we were no match for Cao Shuo. What's more, our army is less than 10 and it is still so scattered. How can we defeat Wei? It’s not a task that can be accomplished by lip service.”

Huang Quan was left speechless.

He was just not willing to take refuge in Wei Guo.

Liu Zhang said: "I can understand Huang Aiqing's intentions, but we are really no match for Cao Shuo. Xu Jing and Qiao Zhou, you two go to Zhao Yun's army and tell them that we are willing to surrender."

"promise!"

Liu Zhang sent Sikong and Situ at the same time, which is absolutely sincere enough.

Zhao Yun, who was about to attack the city, couldn't help feeling depressed when he saw Xu Jing and Qiao Zhou.

His siege equipment is ready, how can he surrender now.

"Let all the soldiers in your new capital come out to accept the reorganization, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy."

Xu Jing and Qiao Zhou tried hard to persuade Zhang Ren for two hours, and Zhang Ren was finally willing to lead his soldiers to surrender.

When Zhao Yun saw Zhang Ren with a gloomy face, he laughed and said, "Brother, why don't you go to Chengdu with me?"

Zhang Ren gritted his teeth, does he have the right not to go?
Zhao Yun's army came to the city of Chengdu, and Liu Zhang led all the civil and military officials out of the city to meet them.

Everyone was courteous, and Zhao Yun didn't give Liu Zhang too many opportunities to speak. Anyway, he was going to be sent to Luoyang, and this place had nothing to do with him.

In less than three days, the armies from the eastern and southern fronts arrived in Chengdu. Seeing that Chengdu had been captured, Zhao Feng and Tai Shici felt very regretful. They were still a step behind Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun called all the generals and scribes together, took out Cao Shuo's edict and said: "Your Majesty said earlier that once Yizhou is captured, all important military and political affairs here will be handed over to General Miaocai to guard against Liu Bei in Qiang. !"

Xia Houyuan is Cao Shuo's uncle, and Cao Shuo is very relieved to hand over this place to him.

And there is still a big enemy in Yizhou now, that is Liu Bei in the west. This guy ran to the territory of the Qiang people, and I don't know how it is going.

The Qiang people are sparsely populated. If you want to limit Liu Bei's development, you must occupy the territory of the Qiang people as soon as possible.

Xia Houyuan asked: "Then can I have some generals?"

Zhao Yun said: "General Miaocai, don't worry, the lord has been selected for you."

"Oh?" Xia Houyuan looked at Zhao Yun impatiently.

"Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Yan Liang, Li Yan."

Xia Houyuan nodded and said: "With the assistance of all the generals, Liu Bei will not be able to turn the tide. When I stabilize the situation in Yizhou, I will lead the army into the territory of the Qiang people."

Zhao Yun said: "My lord will send [-] farmers to help the general build a city in the Qiang territory."

Then, Zhao Yun left several young generals, a few scribes, and an army of 15 for Xia Houyuan.

The remaining personnel were all brought to Jingzhou, then went north from Jingzhou and returned to Luoyang.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Cao Shuo looked at Zhao Yun, Xun You and others who were returning to the imperial court, and said, "You dear friends, you have worked hard."

Zhao Yun asked, "Your Majesty, how will Liu Zhang deal with it?"

"Send him to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, where talents are needed, and at the same time inform Zhou Tai, let him lead the navy to search along the northern coastline of the Eastern Wei Dynasty."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo ordered someone to fetch a map of the world, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said, "Zilong, send this to the Eastern Wei Dynasty as well, and let Zhou Tai take it with him when he goes to sea."

"promise!"

"The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty are all under the control of our Wei State. Right now, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou are all in ruins. The three provinces and six departments must supervise the prefectures so that they can resume production as soon as possible."

"promise!"

Xun Yu asked: "Your Majesty, the world has been unified, should we reduce our troops and resume farming?"

Cao Shuo shook his head and said, "There is no need to reduce the number of troops, let the states and counties vigorously promote childbirth, and once you have a child, you will be permanently exempted from [-]% of the tax."

Xun Yu wiped off his cold sweat. If he had ten children, wouldn't they become wealthy landowners?
You don't need to pay a cent of tax, and you can get a lot of land.

"Your Majesty, isn't direct tax exemption a little inappropriate?"

"In the territory of the Han Dynasty, since Wang Mang usurped the government, it has experienced several wars and was ravaged by the plague. The population has dropped sharply. If you want to increase the population, you must encourage them to give birth."

Xi Zhicai said: "Your Majesty, the increase in population is also a burden for them."

"You don't need money to go to school. Those who are capable of being an official can still get a salary. How can there be burdens?"

Cao Shuo's order to them is to just give birth and leave the rest to him. With his current financial resources, it is no problem to support tens of millions of people.

And he has sent Gan Ning's navy to the sea to search for the crops he designated.

As long as it can be brought back, the food problem will definitely be solved.

He has also collected a lot of talents engaged in farming, and it should only be a matter of time before he can research high-yield wheat and rice.

He didn't believe that he couldn't cultivate a Song Yingxing.

Since the Song Dynasty was able to cultivate food, it can also be done with the knowledge of his later generations.
