Chapter 537: Sand Table

Governor's Mansion, in the study. (_)

Wang Can stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes staring at the sand table in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and smiled.

He ordered the recall of Xu Shu and the three of them, and after dealing with the affairs of Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian, Wang Can began to make sand tables. It took nearly half a month for Wang Can to finally make the general landform of Chengdu and its surroundings. It can be completed in a short time because Chengdu is the jurisdiction of Wang Can, and he can easily get a map of Chengdu, so as to make a simple sand table.

If it weren't for that, the map alone would be tiring enough, let alone making a sandbox.

Wang Can stared at the sand table, smiling, more and more satisfied, and his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of achievement.

"Step! Trample! ”

Outside the study, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

When the footsteps sounded, there were also whispering voices. After a while, there was a gentle knock on the door, and after Wang Can heard the voice, his face suddenly showed a happy expression, and he said, "Come in!" The voice fell, the door creaked open, and Xun You, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu walked in quickly.

When the three of them entered the study, they saw a sand table with a width and a length of one zhang in the study.

Fortunately, the study is very spacious, so that it can accommodate a sand table that is one zhang wide and one zhang long. In the sand table, Wang Can used soil to build up the topography of Chengdu, which is very detailed, and even the important terrain such as forests, rivers, and valleys have been marked one by one.

When Xun You saw it, his eyes lit up, and his face showed a look of disbelief. When Guo Jia saw this, he also said a touch of brilliance in his eyes. Although they were attracted by the sand table, Cheng Yu and the three of them still respectfully bowed to Wang Can and said, "Meet the lord!" ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Don't be rigid in etiquette, how about you talk about this thing?" ”

Xun You rubbed his hands, looked a little excited, and said: "In the past, when the First Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he personally made such a terrain and landform to deploy a military strategy. When Emperor Guangwu, the founder of this dynasty, conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan 'gathered rice for the valley and pointed to the situation', which suddenly made Emperor Guangwu feel that he was 'captured in my eyes'. Although there are items that specialize in making terrain and landforms, it is not easy to make, but I didn't expect the lord to make such a large map. ”

Wang Can smiled and said, "Gongda, this is a detailed map of Chengdu, take a closer look." ”

Xun You stepped forward and watched carefully.

He stared at the sand table and sighed: "The governor's mansion, city towers, valleys, rivers, etc. are all marked in detail, if you are fighting against the enemy, you will have this thing in your hand, it will be like a tiger with wings!" ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he was also very surprised, but sighed: "Although it is of great use, the manpower and material resources required to make this thing are too great, and the feasibility is not high." ”

After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "If the lord wants to make a detailed map of Yizhou, he can send soldiers to investigate the terrain of Yizhou, and finally get a map of Yizhou, and then make a detailed map of Yizhou based on the map." The map of Yizhou is easy to solve because the lord can explore the terrain of Yizhou openly. However, the other states and counties belonged to the sphere of influence of the other princes, and it was difficult for the lord to draw a detailed map. ”

Xun You stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, it is indeed not easy to make such a detailed map. However, when the two armies were fighting, it was a sharp weapon to have this thing in hand! ”

Cheng Yu stared at the sand table, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "With such a sharp weapon in hand, even if it costs a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, it is worth it, and there is no loss." ”

After Guo Jia listened, he nodded in agreement.

With Guo Jia's vision, of course, he can see the value of the sand table. It's easy to say, but it's not easy to make, and it's hard to just draw a detailed map of the states. Moreover, when it comes to important checkpoints, the other princes are guarded by soldiers, and it is difficult to approach at all.

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Although there are some difficulties, it is not impossible to complete, and it can be completed. ”

Guo Jia clenched his fists and asked, "What can the lord do?" ”

Wang Can had a bamboo expression on his face, turned his eyes to the outside of the study, and shouted loudly: "Someone! At the sound of an order, an attendant quickly ran in from outside the room. The attendant bowed to Wang Can, and then stood in the study and waited for Wang Can to give an order. Wang Can withdrew his gaze, still staring at the sand table, and said, "Go and invite Wang Yue to come to the study!" ”

"No!"

The attendant replied with a fist clenched, and then turned to leave.

At this time, Guo Jia clenched his fists and said, "Lord, wonderful! ”

When Wang Can heard this, he smiled, Guo Jia obviously knew his thoughts, so he would speak like this. Cheng Yu and Xun You also showed thinking expressions when they heard Wang Can's words, and after thinking about it, their faces showed a sudden expression. For Wang Can's method, the two of them also figured it out, the hero building is all over the world, and it is most appropriate for the hero building to send someone to depict it.

Although it was difficult to send people to draw detailed maps of the counties, it was a feasible solution. It didn't take long for Wang Yue to hurry to the study.

Entering the study, Wang Yue bowed and said, "Humble Wang Yue, meet the lord." ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Ziwu, this time I gave the Hero Building a difficult task, and you should send someone to do it immediately." ”

Wang Yue hugged his fists and said: "Lord, please speak!" ”

Wang Can's expression was solemn, and he said: "You send someone to inform Wu Huang, Zhou Ren, Zhao Wei, Chen Hong, and other eight people who are in charge of the Heroes Tower, and let them find reliable and credible people who are familiar with the terrain and landforms, and let them depict the map of the state and county where they are located, the more carefully the better." The map must include mountains, valleys, rivers, etc., and it can take longer to complete, but the emphasis is on detail. You and Shi A are responsible for the map of Yizhou County and Guanzhong, find some reliable people who are familiar with the terrain and landforms, and depict the map of Yizhou and Guanzhong as soon as possible. ”

Wang Yue nodded in agreement and asked, "Lord, how long is it?" ”

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Yizhou is recuperating, and there will be no big war for the time being." Well, I'll give you a year to try to draw all the maps. The map of Guanzhong and Yizhou should be hurried up, and the rest of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou can be postponed even if they cannot be completed in a year, after all, we have no direct relationship with Yanzhou and other places, and we can delay it for some time, but the situation in Guanzhong is unstable, and a major war is likely to occur, so it must be completed as soon as possible. ”

"No!"

Wang Yue nodded and agreed.

Wang Can asked again: "Shi A moved the Hero Tower in Chang'an back to Chengdu, can you have something to do after returning to Chengdu?" ”

Wang Yue heard Wang Can ask about Shi A, and his heart was happy, this is Shi A's opportunity! He didn't hesitate and hurriedly said: "After Shi A returned to Chengdu, he has taken over the Hero Building in Yizhou and is presiding over the affairs of the Hero Building in Yizhou. ”

Wang Can smiled faintly and said, "Let him work hard, there will be a time to reuse him." ”

Wang Yue hurriedly thanked him and said: "Thank you, lord, I must tell Shi Ah about my humble position, so that he can do things in a down-to-earth manner." Wang Can's words just now, although he didn't indicate anything, he had already made a promise in disguise, and he would definitely reuse Shi A. In this way, he gave Shi Ah a reassurance and let him do his current things with peace of mind.

After the matter was dealt with, Wang Yue saluted Wang Can and turned to leave. Wang Can watched Wang Yue leave, and after Wang Yue left the study, Wang Can waved his hand and said, "Sit!" ”

The three of them sat down and waited for Wang Can to ask questions.

Wang Can looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Zhongdegong, in the recent past, what talents have emerged in Yizhou?" ”

Cheng Yu clenched his fists and said: "Back to the lord, in addition to Meng Jian, Xu Shu, and Shi Tao, who have already gone to Yueshan County, Qiqi County, and Ba County to take up their posts, there are also a few top-notch talents. Such as Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Zheng Du, and Deng Zhi, although the county governed by these four people is not as outstanding as Xu Shu and others, it is also the peace of the people, and the achievements are remarkable, which is worthy of praise. It's just that Fa Zheng has just been crowned, and Zhang Song, Deng Zhi, and Zheng Du are still very young and still need to be honed. ”

Wang Can nodded and wrote down a few people.

These people are all talents from Yizhou, and they must be honed well in order to achieve great things.

After a pause, Wang Can looked at Xun You again and asked, "Gongda, you are in charge of the Yizhou military and responsible for military training, have you found some good seedlings?" ”

When Xun You heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said: "In the past year, several outstanding generals have indeed emerged in the army, among which Chen Zhi, Zhang Ren, Liu Bi and others have all emerged and become lieutenants in the army. Among these people, Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren are the most outstanding, although both of them are very young, but their martial arts are exquisite, their abilities are extraordinary, and their ability to lead the troops is also good. ”

Hearing that Zhang Ren and Chen Zhi had grown up, Wang Can was also very happy.

Although he has generals such as Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Gan Ning, there are not too many talents.

If Wang Can wants to achieve great things, he also needs more talents to join Yizhou and contribute to the development of Yizhou, so that Yizhou can flourish, smile proudly, and finally dominate the world.

Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, how is the situation in Chang'an?" ”

The affairs of Chang'an have always been handled by Guo Jia, so Wang Can asked Guo Jia directly.

When Guo Jia heard this, he said: "Back to the lord, Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Zhang Ji are already powerful, and they have begun to fight for power and profit. However, although the three of them are intrigued, they have not yet torn their faces and fight each other, Yi Jia estimates that such a situation is likely to continue for a long time, and when their old grudges have accumulated enough, they will suddenly break out. ”

Wang Can showed a satisfied smile on his face, and the good development of military and political affairs shows that Yizhou is developing well, which is a good thing.

Wang Can continued: "It's okay for Fan Chou and the others not to use the sword soldiers for the time being, so that we will have time to develop rapidly and accumulate strength, so that we can take Guanzhong in one go." ”

Wang Can understood the general situation, so he sent Cheng Yu and a few people to the backyard.

Although things are busy, Wang Can still goes to the backyard every day to take a walk around to see how the three women are doing. After strolling around the backyard, Wang Can returned to the study again.

He took out a stack of Zuo Bo paper from the table and thought carefully about the reform of the army. After a few months of brewing, this matter has been almost perfected by Wang Can.

It is imperative to reform the armed forces.

PS: One of the three watches, ask for collections and flowers.
