"Although this Shu land is extensive, but the real so-called country of abundance, only Shu County can be called Tianfu, now Liu Bei occupies Ba County Jiangzhou, Dianjiang, Anhan area, it seems that the area is extensive, but no matter the population, the army is not enough to support its army, now there is no Jingzhou support, unless he can capture Shu County, otherwise the road left for him is to retreat to the Nanzhong area, these places barbarians gather, often fall and rebel, it is extremely difficult to deal with, if Liu Bei chooses this road, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of Nanzhong." Xiangyang Bureau, Xun You helped Chen Mo analyze the current situation in Shuzhong.

Although Liu Bei has laid some territory now, in comparison, as long as he fails to take Shu County, he is not qualified to occupy Shu at all.

"The sublime department has now passed the Jiameng Pass, but I don't know what the attitude of Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, is?" Chen Mo nodded, he naturally had an estimate of the situation in Shuzhong, and now there are only two questions, one is how long the grain and grass in Liu Bei's hands can last, and the other is Liu Zhang's attitude.

Now that Jingzhou has fallen, Chen Mo doesn't want to talk too much nonsense with Liu Zhang, since the Wuyi army has passed the Jiameng Pass, then the attitude should be tougher next.

The Yangtze River has been cut off by Chen Mo since then, and Chen Mo has ordered Ma Jun to lay a barrage in the Yiling area to prevent Jiangdong from relying on the naval army to rush to Liu Bei's aid.

"The king can rest assured, the Jingzhou battle report has almost been sent to Shu at this moment, so Liu Zhang will not dare to go against the king at this time." Xun You smiled.

"There are no absolutes in the world, according to the worst plan, the army of Jun Yi has passed Yiling, and the counties along the way will be in the pocket, even if there is a change, our army also has a way into Shu." Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, what is in this world? There has never been an absolute? There's nothing wrong with preparing for the worst? Can this time be in less than half a year? Taking down Nanjun is already a windfall? If he can take Shu in one go, Chen Mo will naturally be happy? But if you can't take it? He wouldn't be too disappointed either.

The most important thing is that the road to Shu is difficult to walk and not easy to govern, and if it is taken, Chen Mo is also a little hesitant about who will govern Shu.

Not nobody? Opposite? Now under Chen Mo's command, there are many talents who can govern a state, but they are not too assured.

Don't say that Chen Mo is suspicious, but sitting in his current position, he knows very well how terrible this right is? No matter who it is, is used to being the emperor of the soil? If you go to the court and be an official with trepidation, will you not be used to it? And the terrain of Shu is closed, and it is not easy to communicate with the Central Plains? Is this easy to breed a state of separation? Is he going to wait for the tree species to stabilize? Separate the rights in Shu and restrain each other, otherwise anyone in this position and environment will easily breed ideas that should not be there.

The biggest problem in Shu is not how to take it, but how to govern it, so that it does not get out of the control of the imperial court, after all, it is impossible for Chen Mo to go to Shuzhong in person, in that case, who cares in the world?

The thing that annoyed Chen Mo recently is this one, he designed a set of interlocking, officials supervise each other and restrict the rule of officials, but if you extrapolate from human nature, this set of officials does not need a single existence, but this set of officials is also difficult to achieve, because no matter what you want to do, there will be constraints, and the final result is that the government office has and does not have the same, so that the people can develop freely, at most it is just to maintain law and order.

Inaction?

Chen Mo had a headache, this kind of government office seemed to be different from what he expected, but at present, Chen Mo could think of the most suitable official rule for Shudi.

Could it be that the imperial court is not that important?

Chen Mo was a little suspicious of his life by the set of officials he made, if so, why did he work for most of his life?

But no matter what, this set of strategies is the best for today's Shudi, Chen Mo is ready to wait for Liu Zhang's surrender and begin to govern Shu in this way, Dongzhou Shi can't kill them all, you have to win over a group of them, and Shuzhong talents also need to pull out a group to go to Luoyang to report on their work, in addition to increasing the trade between Shuzhong and the Central Plains.

"Gongda, look at this, is it feasible for Shuzhong's future governance strategy?" Chen Mo handed a book he had written to Xun You and said: "The most difficult thing in this Shu land is not to conquer it, but how to govern it. ”

From the pre-Qin to the Han Dynasty, there have been many problems in the governance of Shu for more than 400 years, Chen Mo now lists these problems, and then deals with them one by one, and then modifies the processing results, anyway, for the problem of Shudi, Chen Mo began to think about it a long time ago, and until now he takes out this book, he obviously has some experience.

"The king is going to enter Shu?" Xun You looked at the book and frowned.

"How so?" Chen Mo was surprised.

"Although the laws described in this book are interlocking, but the king, when the decrees of the imperial court are sometimes issued to the localities, the local officials often misinterpret them, or intentionally or unintentionally, if there is no suitable person to sit in the town, I am afraid that it will ......" Xun You frowned after reading it for a long time.

What Chen Mo wrote was naturally constantly scrutinized, and Chen Mo himself would also consider the issue of officials conveying government decrees, but even so, Shu Di was too special, and if this set of officials wanted to run in Shu, at least someone had to deal with it at the beginning.

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, it is impossible for him to enter Shu, Jingzhou needs him to sit in charge, and if there is something in Luoyang that he wants to solve, he will also send it over, if he enters Shu, then the news transmission will be much slower, and Liu Bei has lost his foundation, and Liu Zhang's surrender is basically a fact, Chen Mo cannot move this idea at this time.

"Loneliness will not enter Shu." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Your Majesty, there is a candidate below, who may be able to help the lord rule Shu." Xun You smiled.

"Oh? Who? Chen Mo was surprised when he heard this.

"Shizi." Xun You said with a smile.

"Jin'er......" Chen Mo frowned when he heard this: "I'm afraid there's something wrong, right?" ”

His own son, Chen Mo is naturally relieved, but in terms of ability, Chen Mo has always been strict with Chen Jin, so he always feels that Chen Mo's promotion to Taishou is an exceptional promotion, and if he is in charge of the affairs of a state in his twenties, is it a little embarrassing for the child?

"The king, the prince is talented, these years have been appointed Deyang Ling, Jiujiang Taishou, during his tenure, the government is harmonious, with the ability of the son, the minister in charge of Shu is enough, and the son is also the most suitable." Xun You smiled.

It's not that Chen Jin's ability is the highest, but that Chen Jin is the most suitable person to take charge of Shu, Chen Mo can rest assured of him, and his ability is not bad, and if he can govern Shu well, it will be of great benefit to Chen Jin, and he will be greatly recognized by the imperial court.

Chen Mo frowned and nodded when he heard this, if Chen Jin could really govern Shu properly, then his eldest son's ability would be quite good, and governing Shu would also be a considerable opportunity for Chen Jin to sharpen his skills.

After a while, Chen Mo nodded and said, "It's okay, then let him try, and transfer Tian Feng to Yangzhou Assassin History, replace Chen Jin in charge of Jiujiang, and order Chen Jin to come to Jingzhou first." ”

"Whoa!"

"Your Majesty, Jiangxia is in a hurry!" Just as the two were discussing this matter, they saw Dian Wei coming in quickly from outside and saluted Chen Mo.

"Jiang Xia?" Chen Mo frowned, what would happen to Jiang Xia? looked at Dian Wei and said, "But something happened to Wen Yuan?" ”

"No, the Jiangxia defender and General Wenyuan fought several times, but they were all repulsed, and now most of Jiangxia has been occupied by our army." Dian Wei handed the letter to Chen Mo and grinned.

This Chen Mo naturally knows, but if it is not for the defeat in the battle, then I am afraid that Jiangdong has a new move.

Chen Mo and Xun You glanced at each other, hurriedly opened the letter, and quickly swept it.

"Sun Quan gathered 60,000 sailors in Chaisang, it seems that he wants to take advantage of the unstable foothold of our army to capture Jingzhou." Chen Mo handed the letter to Xun Yu on the side, shook his head and smiled.

"60,000 sailors, if you add the previous infantry army, Jiangdong is afraid that he will do his best to attack this time." Xun You frowned and said, "Lord, our army's sailor ......"

"I have ordered Yu Sheng to lead the sailor to the Guangling area, it should be almost there, but before that, attract the Jiangdong sailor to this side!" Chen Mo smiled.

"Your Majesty, now there is no water division in Jingzhou, if we start a war with Jiangdong here, our army will suffer a lot." Xun You said worriedly, there is not only the Yangtze River in Jingxiang, but also a large number of waterways, Jiangdong's naval army can drive straight in, Chen Mo has no sailors, and he has lost the first hand against Jiangdong.

Moreover, Zhang He led his troops west into Sichuan and Shu, and the more than 100,000 troops that Chen Mo brought at the beginning, aside from the garrisons of Xiangfan and Jiangling, plus Zhang Liao's department, can only use about 90,000 soldiers and horses now, and the troops will also suffer a lot.

"It's okay, just hold Jingzhou, the main force of Jiangdong is gathered here, so that our army's naval division can directly sweep Wuhui!" Chen Mo smiled.

"Your Majesty, if it is a land war, our army's 90,000 divisions are enough to defeat Jiangdong, but now once the war starts, the battlefield will be between Jiangling and Jiangxia, mostly water battles, and our army's naval division ......" Xun You was a little distressed, not that he had no confidence in Chen Mo, but the Jiangdong Navy had been an army for many years and had been tempered by water warfare for a long time.

"It is precisely because of this that this battle must be fought even more, and we will contain the Jiangdong Naval Army here, so that Yu Shengshui can be unimpeded and enter Jiangdong." Chen Mo smiled and said, this is a good opportunity for him, and Chen Mo feels that his own naval army will not lose, especially after he has seen the Jiangdong naval army, this feeling is even stronger, Jiangdong's building ships, ships, in the ship itself, whether it is stability or speed, it is definitely not as good as the ships of the East China Sea Division, even if the commander and generals are inferior, but Chen Mo attracted all the Jiangdong naval divisions, and Yu Sheng attacked from the rear, this is his killer weapon for Jiangdong, and it is also the previous even if Sun Liu Alliance, The fundamental reason why Chen Mo didn't use the water division, Jiangdong, he wants to fight!
