The cabinet members gathered, and Zhang Yu spoke first.

"Ma Teng's matter needs to have a long-term plan, I don't want to solve it so early, but the matter of Shuchuan must have a rough plan as soon as possible." Zhang Yu said.

The cabinet members did not quite understand why Zhang Yu had the conditions to solve it.

Zhang Yu glanced around and said: "It's a good thing to have external troubles, at least we can make internal things easier to handle, I just said that I want to innovate many things, and I need to have this external trouble." ”

"Once there is no external trouble, there is a problem with what I innovate, it is very difficult to deal with it, and once there is a problem that cannot be solved, I will directly fight against the West, divert attention, and directly announce military control."

"This matter is top secret, and it is not allowed to be leaked."

As soon as Zhang Yu said, everyone was shocked that Zhang Yu was going to continue to innovate in the next big step.

But it's very feathered.

Zhang Yu continues to innovate, there is an external trouble, as long as this external trouble can be controlled, then they can accept it.

Everyone fell silent, not knowing whether Zhang Yu's "reckless force" was good or bad.

However, they all know that Zhang Yu's temperament is very strong and cannot be changed.

Zhang Yu said again: "Shuchuan, the country of abundance, we must have a strategy as soon as possible, of course, we can not do it within a year or two, we still need to do a lot of things." ”

The empire needs to develop, and Zhang Yu also needs time to slowly innovate.

Shuchuan is a big problem, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"My lord, maybe you can make an exception and let opium enter Shuchuan." Guo Jia said.

Zhang Yu had already ordered that opium could only be sold in the West, not in China.

Zhang Yu pondered, letting opium poison Shuchuan, he also had some concerns.

Guo Jia said again: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that this Liu Bei has begun to do nothing, does not want to forge ahead, and has no ambitions, and this opium can corrupt them." ”

"In addition, we can sell this thing for a high price, and ordinary people can't afford it, so the scope of harm is limited."

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and said: "Okay, then go and prepare, this matter can't be rushed, and at the same time, we must continue to push forward other plans, even if this plan is not successful, Liu Bei will be eliminated." ”

Everyone began to discuss, Guo Jia's plan was one of them, and they had to continue to study other methods.

One of the other options is to continue the economic blockade so that Shuchuan cannot develop.

Second, assault.

Third, it is to slowly differentiate, and the general trend is on its own side, so it will win over the people inside Shuchuan.

Zhang Yu decided to carry out several methods at the same time and let Guo Jia operate them specifically.

For the Quartet's approach, Zhang Yu is to build a high wall, and at the same time prepare a surprise army all the way, at a critical time, he can go deep into the west and cut off their back road.

The Silk Road is actually very fragile, after all, many places are located in deserts, which can be easily broken.

Once it is choked, it is in danger.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also prepared from the sea, the great empire of the West is actually very fragile, because there is no consistent culture, no consistent writing and language, once something happens, it can immediately fall apart.

Zhang Yu and the cabinet have formulated a detailed strategy, as long as these are completed, Zhang Yu can start his own innovation with peace of mind.

Some of his innovations are similar to Wang Mang, Wang Mang will fail because he is old, he doesn't have much time, and there are not enough talents, and his usurpation position is already unstable.

But he's different, he has enough time, enough talent, enough prestige.

For Liu Bei and Ma Teng, Zhang Yu has different strategies.

But no matter what the plan, Zhang Yu didn't want to do it in two years.

Within two years, Zhang Yu can develop rapidly.

At this time, Zhang Yu had already adopted some of the practices of the later army.

Let some young people go to the army for two years, and after two years of retirement, these people become retired soldiers.

Once the war is tight, these soldiers can be called up, and then they can be simply retrained and turned into the main combat force.

So, Mu Han decided to retire 300,000 elite soldiers this year, and then re-recruit 300,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, let the 300,000 troops retire, these are veterans of a hundred battles, and their combat power is strong." Xun Yu said.

The cabinet members were very puzzled by Zhang Yu's approach, leaving 300,000 elite soldiers unused, but re-recruiting 300,000 new soldiers.

Zhang Yu didn't explain to them at first, but now he explained: "Otherwise, let the 300,000 troops retire and recruit 300,000 people again, this combat power will not weaken, but increase." Once the war starts, we will be able to re-recruit 300,000 retired troops. ”

"In this way, it means that we have 300,000 more trained troops."

"This is the advantage of formulating a retirement system, and if we change a batch every two years, the civilian population will have a million soldiers, while our backbone officers will not retire."

"In this way, more soldiers will be raised, and the empire will not have to spend more money and food, and it will not affect local production."

As soon as Zhang Yu explained, everyone understood.

After two years of military service, a soldier becomes an elite soldier.

When there are enough trained soldiers in the people, then Zhang Yu can even cut off a part of the army and reconvene it in wartime.

After thinking about it, the cabinet said: "My lord, this is also a great disadvantage, if these people want to make trouble, it will be very powerful. ”

"Once these people are used by people with intentions to rebel, it will cause great destructive power."

In ancient times, this kind of thing was most feared, once someone gathered a crowd to rebel, and it was a trained army.

Zhang Yu has a different view.

"That is, I or my descendants have lost the support of the people, and no one is to blame for being overthrown."

"In addition, we will divide these people into regions and disperse these people to various places, not just one place, but the entire empire, how many places will be allocated in each place, so that only the empire has the ability to gather them."

"Even if there is a problem in one place, it can be quickly extinguished, which is equivalent to retaining a force everywhere, and even mobilizing this force nearby if necessary."

Zhang Yu's thoughts are different from theirs, if the empire really loses the hearts of the people, then it will be overthrown directly.

There is no empire that will prosper forever, and once it decays, it should be withdrawn from the stage of history.

What Zhang Yu wants to do is to pass on these advanced concepts and advanced systems, even if the dynasties of later generations change, no one can forget his achievements.

For example, Qin Shi Huang has been in the dynasty for more than ten years, but his exploits have not been forgotten for more than 2,000 years.

Zhang Yu's decision also made the cabinet speechless, how could an emperor not want his empire to prosper forever.

Of course, Zhang Yu also hopes, but there is no way, the family will collapse sooner or later.

Zhang Yu's innovation made everyone worried.

The benefits are placed here, and the empire can spend relatively little money and raise a large number of troops.

The disadvantages are also obvious, once there are a lot of these people, put them in various places, it will be a huge hidden danger.
