Chapter 3 Wenchen
After cultivating, Gao Cheng didn't do anything else, but wandered around the backyard to relax his mood. Whether it is the main body or the doppelganger, it is in a state of mental tension during this time. There was no rest for a long time.
The path of cultivation, one by one, blindly emphasizing courage and diligence, will have an unstable foundation, and sooner or later will encounter bottlenecks. And the innate longevity recipe is the supreme Taoist mysticism, and it pays more attention to the state of mind.
At night, when Gao Cheng was preparing to rest, Ganyu and Diao Chan came in to serve with a basin of water, the two girls were beautiful, they were all unique, and under the moonlight of the window, Ganyu's skin looked even whiter.
"Childe, it's time to rest!" Diao Chan said softly.
The two of them were arranged to be Gao Cheng's personal maids, and they couldn't refuse if they were asked to serve. Of course, since the two of them are willing to become maids, they have already realized in their hearts.
......
The next day, early in the morning.
Gao Cheng got up from the warm fragrance of nephrite, this action did not alarm the two women, last night was stormy, they are still very tired, simple tidying up, out of the door, the carriage at the main entrance of the mansion has been prepared, just wait for him to appear to go to the official office to deal with documents and Yangzhou affairs.
The six counties of Yangzhou cover thousands of miles, and there are countless people under the rule, and a large number of things are transmitted to Shouchun every day, but fortunately, Gao Cheng has fully delegated power and handed over these trivial matters to Zhang Zhao and others. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have time to cultivate.
Half an hour later, the carriage came to the official office, and Gao Cheng got out of the carriage and strode towards the hall. According to the rules he set, every five days, he would convene his subordinates to discuss matters. Today is the fifth day.
"The right general is here!" shouted the two attendants at the door of the hall.
Gao Cheng walked into the hall when the voice sounded, and at this time there were already several men in the hall with wide sleeves and long robes, led by Zhang Zhao. Xi Zhicai and Chen Jiao are also among them.
"I've seen the lord" "I've seen the right general!"
With a hint of a smile on his face, Gao Cheng nodded to these courtiers, and then walked in a tiger's step, came to the top and slowly knelt down, swept his eyes over everyone, and said lightly: "You don't have to be polite, get up!"
These courtiers were headed by Zhang Zhao, and he and the others knelt on the couch in two columns, "My lord, Yuzhou Yuan Shu's army and General Wu'an have been facing each other in Ruyin for three months, and yesterday, General Wu'an sent someone to ask for reinforcements and grain and grass ......"
Zhang Zhao was the first to speak, and said the things that needed Gao Cheng's personal eyes to decide. Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged and listened quietly.
At the beginning, after Gao Cheng led his troops to repel Huang Zu's army in Chaisang, he unified the six counties of Yangzhou. It seems that the soldiers are unstoppable, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian are all princes, and they can all feel the great pressure on them from the unification of Yangzhou.
According to the topography, if Yangzhou wants to dominate the world, there are two ways to send troops, one is to occupy the land of Lianghuai, and based on this, it can attack Xuzhou and Yuzhou. The other is to conquer Jingzhou in the west and occupy the south of the river. Then Huainan, Xiangyang, and troops were sent at the same time. It can compete with the northern heroes in the Central Plains.
At a time when the princes of the world have not yet grown up, a unified Yangzhou can bring a powerful threat to people.
Liu Biao is nominally the lord of Jingzhou, but the four counties of Jingnan are thousands of miles of wilderness, mountains are everywhere, and there are no sufficient population resources, so the four southern counties cannot provide much grain, grass, soldiers and horses.
The core of Jingzhou is only Nanjun, Nanyang and Jiangxia. Among them, Nanyang County was also occupied by Yuan Shu, and there were only two counties that Liu Biao could control.
Yuzhou, which borders Yangzhou, has been in a semi-crippled state after years of war, and only Xuzhou is rich and has sufficient grain and grass. However, Tao Qian's cultivation and family background are not high, and he cannot fully control the family and civil and military forces under his command.
Although the six counties of Yangzhou, Huiji and Yuzhang are not mentioned for the time being, although Lujiang, Jiujiang, Danyang, and Wujun have not been thoroughly developed, but after two years of governance to absorb displaced people, make great efforts to govern the country, and accumulate a large amount of grain and grass, they have caught up with Xuzhou and Jingzhou. And the elite of Danyang soldiers is famous all over the world, and in general, Yangzhou soldiers have enough food and food, and they already have the power to unify the south.
"Chen Dao and Zhou Yu sat in Chaisang and resisted Huang Zu and Huang Zhong in Jingzhou. LĂź Dai and Zhou Taitun soldiers Ruyin confronted Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling in Yuzhou. There are also Wu Anguo and Jiang Qin who are stationed in Moling and Zhongli respectively to guard against Xuzhou soldiers and horses!"
Gao Cheng thought about the current situation in Yangzhou, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian regarded him as Dong Zhuo, the three forces have formed an alliance and divided into three ways to threaten Yangzhou.
The last time Gao Cheng and Huang Zu fought in Chaisang, Yuan Shu and Tao Qian were only hypocritical, and did not really send troops, and now as Yangzhou's strength continues to increase, even Tao Qian has sent Zang Ba, Cao Bao and Chen Deng of Guangling, and sent troops to echo the other two.
At this time, Zhang Zhao said all the major things that need to be decided in the past few days, and then let Gao Cheng make up his mind, according to the habit of the past two years, Gao Cheng should let everyone speak, and then choose a more stable suggestion that is not easy to cause chaos.
The other courtiers had already organized their language, and they only waited for Gao Cheng to ask before expressing their opinions.
However, Gao Cheng did not do as usual this time, but was silent for a moment, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know how many stones, grains, and grass, and how many soldiers and horses are there in Yangzhou? If you send troops to fight, how long can you support it?"
Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Chen Jiao, and other courtiers were all resourceful people who were hard to find in the world, and they immediately sensed his thoughts from Gao Cheng's tone.
Now the six counties of Yangzhou have a total of 15.8 million stones, and there are still old grains from previous years in the granaries of various places...... There are also 400,000 elite soldiers, 300,000 naval troops, and 1.2 million county soldiers from all over the country......"
Zhang Zhao glanced at Gao Cheng deeply and replied with some caution. After two years of development, the six counties of Yangzhou have begun to have a rich heritage. However, the harvest is large, and the consumption is also large. The Chaisang Water Village and the 300,000 troops stationed in Ruyin consume hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass every month.
More than 10 million stone of grain and grass seems to be an unbelievable amount, but in fact, based on the calculation that each person needs to consume one stone of grain and grass a month, one million people need to consume one million stone of grain and grass every month. Coupled with the rations of war horses and transported cattle and sheep, more was consumed.
However, the six counties of Yangzhou have only been stable for two or three years, and there is still a lot of potential, if the population is enough, the fields are fully developed, and the grain and grass obtained can be increased several times.
"Right General! Now that Yangzhou's foundation is not rich enough, if you rashly send troops to fight against Yuan Shu and Liu Yuan, I'm afraid something will be wrong!" A clear voice sounded.
Gao Cheng looked at it, and it was Yuzhang who was talking about Huaxin.
