Chapter 603: Distribution of Forces (I)
The book is picked up again.
"Uh......" Yang Ying thought for a while, and then said with a nonchalant face: "The lord also knows that his subordinates forced him to ask about the little emperor's secret army.
After the questioning, his subordinates asked him to write these two holy decrees.
It may be that he was afraid that his subordinates would kill him and wanted to do his best to please his subordinates, so he gave Mr. Fengxiao such a big official. ”
"......" After hearing Yang Ying's words, everyone present looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
At this time, Li Zhi was also very speechless, although he didn't care about the little emperor Liu Xie, but on the surface, he still respected the imperial power.
However, it may be that he never used honorifics when mentioning the little emperor on weekdays, so under his influence, none of his subordinates took the little emperor seriously.
"Huh......" Li Zhi shook his head after a long sigh, his face full of helplessness.
He knew that when the people of the world knew about it, they would definitely attack him wildly.
However, if you have more debts, you don't have to worry, if you have more lice, you don't itch, anyway, Li Zhi's reputation is not very good, so let him go.
So far, he can only break the jar and break it, otherwise what else?
After thinking about it, Li Zhi said loudly to the drunken Guo Jia: "Virtuous brother! Come and get your decree! ”
"Huh?" After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he raised his head drunkenly, looked at him and asked with a puzzled face, "Holy Decree?" What holy decree? ”
After saying this, Guo Jia suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes were drunk, and he looked at Li Zhi with a defensive face and asked, "Brother, you won't play any tricks again, right?"
Even if you want to punish Jia, you'll have to wait until this banquet is over. ”
"You patronized and drank together, didn't you hear anything?"
After Li Zhi rubbed his forehead a little helplessly, he said weakly: "Come here, my brother is not to take revenge on you, but to give you a promotion!" ”
"Really?"
"......" Li Zhiyan pouted, and then said with disdain: "If you have a chance to clean up for my brother, how can you take it to the banquet?!" Get out of here! ”
"Oh!" After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he thought for a while and felt that it was impossible for Li Zhi to do anything to him in public.
Therefore, he answered honestly, came to Li Zhi's side, and took the holy decree.
After Guo Jia opened the holy decree and looked at it, the pupils in his eyes shrank sharply, and then he screamed loudly: "Brother! You still say you're not taking revenge on Jia?! So what's going on? ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia pointed to the fingers in his hand with a sad face.
After Cao Cao on the side saw this, he came to Guo Jia's side with a frown, took the holy decree in his hand, and after watching it carefully for a while, he raised his head and asked Guo Jia with a puzzled face: "This holy decree is right, how did it become a punishment?" ”
"Isn't that punishment?!" After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he shouted: "You see, this Jizhou is the world's leading state, and there are countless big and small things in it!"
If Jia is a pastor in Jizhou, wouldn't he have to deal with all kinds of affairs every day, how can he have time to drink again?
Also, Jia was actually named the Marquis of Ji, which directly wanted to murder Jia!
Brother Meng De, you also know that Jia has no commendable merits, but he has no merits but is a marquis, what will the people of the world think of Jia?
You know, the rumors are fierce like a tiger!
Once there are any unbearable rumors, then Jia Ke will not survive! ”
After saying this, he turned his head and stared at Li Zhi deadly, and said with a sad and angry face: "Brother, are you doing this to kill them all?!" ”
After Li Zhi heard Guo Jia's questioning, he rolled his eyes helplessly, pointed to Yang Ying on the side, and said, "Don't ask me, all of this is Boxiong's own opinion, you go to him to settle accounts." ”
"What?!" After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately blew up, turned around suddenly, pointed at Yang Ying with a sad and angry face, and shouted loudly: "Boxiong! Jia treats you well on weekdays, right? Why would you want to harm someone?! ”
"Uh......" Yang Ying heard this, and after making a while, he asked with a puzzled face: "Why did Mr. Fengxiao say this?" Isn't it a good thing to be promoted and knighted? How did it become a victim? ”
"You ......" Guo Jia heard this, his face was full of helplessness, he knew that Yang Yingnai was kind, but his kindness did bad things!
Then, he could only sit down as if he was deflated, and drank the wine angrily, wanting to get drunk and relieve his sorrows.
Li Zhi on the side glanced at Guo Jia after this, and said angrily: "You don't have to be so angry, Boxiong is kind!"
The most important thing is that even if you want to get Jizhou, it is unlikely!
Now in Jizhou, more than half of the place has been taken away by Yuan Shao, even if you want to be the pastor of Jizhou, you can't be it!
And you, the Marquis of Ji, after losing the fiefdom of Jizhou, are just an empty lord, nothing to be. ”
"That's right!" After Guo Jia heard Li Zhi's words, not only was he not depressed, but nodded happily and said, "Tomorrow, a certain family will let someone go to Jizhou with this holy decree."
When the time comes, Yuan Shao will definitely not agree with this holy decree!
In this way, Jia has an excuse to resign from this official position! ”
"You......" Li Zhiyan said, and after tapping Guo Jia with his finger, he shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Lu Bu on the side interjected and asked: "Lord, these days, my subordinates have been staying in Chang'an City, and the news is closed, and I don't know the distribution of forces in the world.
Can the lord explain to his subordinates the various forces in the world? ”
After Cao Cao on the side heard this, he nodded inexplicably and said, "Brother Wei also wants to hear about it." ”
Cao Cao didn't have any intelligence troops under him, so he didn't know what the situation was with the forces in the world.
"Okay" After Li Zhi heard Lu Bu and Cao Cao's inquiry, he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then take this opportunity today to talk about the distribution of forces in the world." ”
"Ahem......" After Li Zhi cleared his throat, he said: "Nowadays, the world has become a scene similar to the Spring and Autumn Period, when the princes fought chaotically.
Let's talk about the bigger forces first!
Speaking of big forces, the first thing to mention is the two brothers of the Yuan family.
After the two brothers of the Yuan family returned to the place, they used the influence of their Yuan family to recruit a group of subordinates and occupy several states!
Among them, Yuan Shao occupied most of Bingzhou, most of Jizhou and a small part of Qingzhou, and the people under his rule were about seven or eight million.
And after Yuan Shao occupied these places, he immediately recruited troops on a large scale.
At this time, there are more than 500,000 troops under his command, thousands of good generals, and strategists like clouds, which can be called strong soldiers and horses! ”
"Hiss......" As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking Yuan Shao, Cao Cao on the side gasped with a shocked face.
After Li Zhi saw Cao Cao's expression, he asked with a smile, "What?" Is this shocking? This is only half of the strength of the Yuan family, and I haven't said Yuan Shu yet! ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi's face was full of emotion, he didn't expect the Yuan family's influence in the local area to be so great.
Although the Yuan family was exterminated by Dong Zhuo, the two Yuan brothers were still warmly welcomed after returning to the local area.
And there are countless good generals and talents who have also invested under the command of the two Yuan brothers.
This allowed them to occupy several states in a very short period of time, and they had a huge power!
If there is no gap between the two Yuan brothers and they work together, I am afraid that the two of them really have the strength to sweep the world!
It's a pity that the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly since very early times, and now that they are the masters of one side, it is even more impossible to unite, and it would be good if they didn't fight.
"Hehe......" Cao Cao heard this, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a dry laugh: "As the saying goes: a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!" Now that my brother finally understands this sentence.
The Yuan family is worthy of being the Yuan family, like a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, really powerful! ”
......After saying these words, Cao Cao closed his eyes and let out a long breath to calm down the complicated emotions in his heart.
Then, Cao Cao opened his eyes and said calmly: "Okay, please continue to talk about the virtuous brother of Xingzhi, let the brother open his eyes well." ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he glanced at Cao Cao with admiration.
When he learned the news, he was shocked for a long time and didn't speak.
This is because he doesn't have the heart to dominate the world, so even if the two Yuan brothers have more strength, it has nothing to do with him.
If Li Zhi also plans to dominate the world, then after he hears that he knows the power of the Yuan brothers, he may not be able to sleep!
However, Cao Cao, a person who intends to dominate the world, after hearing the news, was only shocked for a while before coming back to his senses, this kind of temperament is really admirable.
Then, Li Zhi collected the emotions in his heart and continued: "And the second person to mention is Yuan Shu.
After Yuan Shu returned to the place, he went to Nanyang.
As you know, although Nanyang is only a county, the population of Nanyang is no worse than those states that are a little worse.
Therefore, after he occupied Nanyang, he took this as the basis and gradually occupied Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
And after occupying these places, he realized that he was not to be outdone, and recruited troops on a large scale.
And he is even more excessive than Yuan Shao, the population under his rule is only about five million, but the soldiers and horses in his hands are more than 600,000!
Now, these places under his command can be called people's livelihood!
If it weren't for the countless treasures that the Yuan family left for him to feed the army, he would have collapsed without a fight! ”
"......" After Li Zhi finished saying this, everyone present did not speak, but just looked at Li Zhi with shocked faces.
They didn't expect that in just a few months, the two Yuan brothers would take advantage of the situation and become a force second to none!
Although they also knew that the army under the command of the two Yuan brothers was all recruits, if they really fought, the battle loss ratio between veterans and recruits could reach 1 to 3 or even 1 to 5!
In other words, each of the two brothers has a combat power comparable to hundreds of thousands of elite veterans.
Even if it's Li Zhi, he can't easily handle these two now!
Among the people present, Cao Cao had the best mentality, so after he was shocked for a while, he came back to his senses and asked Li Zhi with a calm face, "What about the other forces?" ”
"Oh?" Seeing that Cao Cao was so calm, Li Zhi asked jokingly: "Why is Brother Meng De so calm?"
You must know Brother Meng De, but you want to dominate the world!
And the combined strength of the two Yuan brothers is difficult to resist even if they are below, doesn't Brother Meng De feel worried? ”
"Hehe......" Cao Cao heard this, and after chuckling, he said with a determined face: "Brother Xingzhi, are you going to be a brother?"
Even if the two of them have the strength to pacify the world, what can they do?!
After all, they are two people, and in the early days, the two of them have already turned against each other, and it is impossible for them to cooperate!
Not only that, but there is hatred between the two of them, as long as they use a little trick for their brother, they can make the two of them kill each other!
So, what's so scary about these two?! ”
After saying this, Cao Cao's eyes showed a trace of disdain, and he said: "The most important thing is that the two brothers of the Yuan family are not the material of the master!"
Yuan Shao is a person who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, scheming and indecisive, and the selection of talents only values identity, not talent, such a person, even if he has millions of soldiers, what is so terrible? !
Not to mention Yuan Shu, who is treacherous and treacherous, regards loyalty as good as nothing, such a person, even if he becomes the emperor as a brother, he is sure to push him down! ”
"Hahaha......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately burst out laughing, his face full of joy.
In the past, Li Zhi always felt that Cao Cao was not right here and not good there.
Moreover, he secretly doubted whether Cao Cao was the hero in history?
Now it seems that it is not that Cao Cao has no ability, but that he lacks experience.
After Cao Cao went through these blows and understood what he wanted, he finally gradually revealed his true colors!
After laughing for a while, Li Zhi stopped laughing, clapped his hands, and praised loudly: "Brother Meng De is really Brother Meng De, these words are incisive!"
That's right, even if the Yuan brothers have great power, it is only for a while.
As long as there is an opponent as powerful as Brother Meng De, they will be revealed! Nothing! ”
"Ahem......" Cao Cao is not the thick-skinned hero he was later, after hearing Li Zhi's praise, he coughed a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Xingzhi praised falsely, praised falsely!"
Brother Xingzhi, let's talk about other forces. ”
"Hehe......" Li Zhi chuckled, nodded, and said, "In addition to the two Yuan brothers, there is Gongsun Zhan, who occupies Youzhou."
Because Youzhou relies on the land of foreign races, the people of Youzhou are fierce.
Although Youzhou has a population of only more than 2 million, Gongsun Zhan has only a hundred thousand people.
However, these men were veterans of a hundred battles, and the ratio of their infantry to cavalry was terrifyingly one!
With such strength, even if Ben Hou wants to take it down, it will take a lot of effort! ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi's eyes showed a look of worry, and he said: "The most important thing is that Liu Bei and his brother-in-law Zhang Fei also followed Gongsun Zhan, making him even more powerful.
Nowadays, there are few people in the whole world who are Gongsun Zhan's opponents. ”
Cao Cao frowned after hearing Liu Bei's name, but he didn't say anything more, and continued to ask, "What about the other forces?" ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, because he suddenly realized that from the beginning, he was like a subordinate who was reporting to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao was questioning, he also stood in the position of the superior to question.
This feeling made Li Zhi feel very weird.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Zhi didn't care about this.
After all, he still has to take refuge in Cao Cao in the end, so he should have adapted to work in advance.
After thinking of this, Li Zhi continued to introduce: "If you say it again, you have to go to the south, and the most powerful person in the south is Liu Yanke."
Yizhou is a land of abundance, in which the products are abundant, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be described as a rich land
However, because of this, the people there did not have any fighting spirit, so the army under Liu Yan was not very powerful. ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded, and then asked, "How many people are there in Yizhou?" How many soldiers and horses did Liu Yan command? ”
Hearing this, Li Zhi thought for a while and then replied: "If you count the alien races in the mountains, there are about 3.5 million people in total, and the people of the alien races are only about 3 million.
And Liu Yan does have some ability, he now has a total of more than 200,000 troops under his command, although it is not an elite, but there are indeed a lot of people.
However, it was only the invasion of the alien race in the mountains from time to time.
In addition, Liu Yan is old and is about to lose control of the people under his command, and there are no outstanding characters among his heirs, so Yizhou is not to be afraid! ”
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao touched his short beard, nodded, and asked, "Let's talk about Jingzhou again." ”
"Jingzhou ......" When talking about Jingzhou, Li Zhiluo groaned, and after smiling bitterly, he said: "The state pastor of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, and this Liu Biao is also a powerful person.
When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Liu Biao saw that the situation was not good, so he pretended to take refuge in Dong Zhuo and obtained a holy decree from him.
Then, he fled to Jingzhou in a panic with the holy decree.
After arriving in Jingzhou, Liu Biao first used stratagem to get rid of several families who opposed him.
Then he used the method of marriage to win over several other families.
Subsequently, he became a veritable Jingzhou pastor.
Over the years, there have been no major wars in Jingzhou, and it has been very calm.
Therefore, under the rule of Jingzhou, there are more than 4 million people, 330,000 soldiers, and many families to help, but Liu Biao at this time is very difficult to deal with!
However, judging from the recent information, it seems that he is going to fight with Yuan Shu.
Because Yuan Shu seized Nanyang, the richest county in Jingzhou! ”
"Nanyang?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he turned his head to look at Li Zhi and asked curiously: "Brother Xingzhi, brother remember, when you were crusading against the Yellow Turban, didn't you once occupy Wancheng, the main city of Nanyang?" ”
Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded, and said, "That's right, why did Brother Meng De ask this?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he asked with a puzzled face: "Since this is the case, then why didn't you take Nanyang in your hand?" ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "......"
