Chapter Ninety-Six: Busy rectification, turbulent undercurrents
With the division of the world, the princes and the lands they occupy have become small kingdoms that are developing rapidly. It can be said that the people in the world have settled down a lot during this period, and the princes who can persist until now are not fools, and they will not carry out **** and do this kind www.biquge.info of self-destructive future.
And Liu Xuewu returned to Bingzhou after being crowned king, and the current situation is not as chaotic as it was at the beginning. However, it was a hundred times more difficult to start a war than it was during the chaos at that time. In times of chaos, the princes temporarily occupied a piece of territory, with a shallow foundation, and had no faith among the people. Therefore, as long as you defeat its living force, you can smoothly accept the opponent's territory. And now, after more than 20 years, the territory where each family is located can be said to have taken root. Small saplings also grow into big trees, it is easy to knock down big trees, but it is difficult to break their seedlings, but it is like an idiot saying that it is difficult to dream to the sky.
However, there are pros and cons, the people have a sense of belonging, and they can't easily use swords, and the other party is the same. can only wait for the opportunity with his eyes, and he will not dare to move.
Liu Xuewu returned to Bingzhou this time, and he had a purpose. As the nest of Liu Xuewu's career, there is a foundation that Liu Xuewu has been operating for decades. Almost all the people here only know Liu Xuewu and don't know that there is an emperor today. Here, Liu Xuewu can easily mobilize all the resources and manpower, and Liu Xuewu is like a god, almost omnipotent. Of course, this is in the eye-catching eyes of the people, and it is also in the minds of the soldiers of the army under Liu Xuewu. They are all under the leadership of Liu Xuewu, and one by one poor families are on the road to prosperity, and how many slings are counterattacking the rich and handsome Bai Fumei. Here they only believe in Liu Xuewu, and Liu Xuewu is their god.
Under several orders from Liu Xuewu, the elite troops of various states and counties gathered in Yanmen. As the place where Liu Xuewu rose in Bingzhou, Liu Xuewu directly set up the state governance of Bingzhou directly in Yanmen. On this wide flat ground, all the soldiers who had been transferred from the counties of the state were carefully selected, and they were all between twenty-two and twenty-eight years old. He is tall and big, with a strong body, and has the temperament of a man in the state. In addition, he was wearing black armor designed by Liu Xuewu according to the combination of ancient chain mail and Western European plate armor in his previous life. This was originally a configuration for the Black Iron Demon Rider, but its defense is huge, ordinary swords can't penetrate a single bit, and with an iron, protective helmet, even if it encounters a salvo of ten thousand arrows, it can survive. However, there is a little flaw, the cost is high, and the cost of building a large number of them is too high, but after Liu Xuewu's second consideration, he decided to popularize the whole army.
It's been more than a decade since the armor was designed, but it's only recently been completed. A total of 80,000 sets of infantry light armor, 20,000 sets of cavalry heavy armor, equipped with a special ring head long knife, part-time is a demon from the abyss, a killing machine. These 100,000 merge state troops are the elite trump cards that Liu Xuewu has retained to the present.
In the dark, Liu Xuewu stood on the worship platform, looking at the 100,000 horses, as far as the eye could see, and they were silent and silent. Liu Xuewu nodded with satisfaction, and waved the handsome flag, Liu Xuewu shouted with all his strength with the loudspeaker prepared in advance: "Soldiers, I, Liu Xuewu, announce that the Black Devil Army is about to be unsheathed, and I will lead you to sweep the world." ”
"Kill" shook the heavens and the earth, and the 100,000 Black Demon Army shouted in unison.
That scene, that atmosphere, is not something that can be summed up in one or two sentences.
And just when Liu Xuewu was about to prepare to send troops, Cao Pi, who had just held power not long ago and inherited the Cao family's family business, was also recruiting troops immediately, ready to do a big job.
The current Cao Wei can be said to be a talent replacement, the older generation of Guo Jia drama talents have all died one after another, Cao Ren and Cao Chun are gradually more than capable of strength, and they are gradually defending against power, and the new generation of young generals Cao Shuang, Cao Xiu, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the Xiahou family has retired because the Xiahou brothers are not accustomed to Cao Pi's ruthless behavior, and the influence of the descendants of the Xiahou family has gradually declined.
Although Cao Pi is ruthless, he is also a clever monarch, using the Sima family's father and son to play the way of the emperor of balance, and he was extremely strong for a while.
However, it is Sun Quan who has the biggest movement, and with Sun Ce's establishment of the Wu State, the independent Eastern Wu Dynasty seized one side. He couldn't bear it anymore, thinking that he almost made his brother and the entire Jiangdong miserable for his own selfishness. And he also took away half of Jiangdong's troops, and he was ambitious to create his own career. But now, it only occupies a little territory, and it is far from enough to support these hundreds of thousands of troops. can only rely on his brother Sun Ce to help from behind, Sun Quan feels ashamed.
"Do I want to be like Xiang Yu back then, and go to see Jiangdong's father without a face?" Sun Quan's face was full of grievances, and he couldn't help but feel at the rolling Yangtze River.
"Don't be discouraged, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, according to the spies, Liu Bei has made some moves recently, and it is estimated that he is going to send troops." Lu Su on the side hurriedly came up and said persuasively.
"Send troops, what do you say he Liu Bei wants to do?" Sun Quan couldn't help frowning.
"It's not against us anyway, unless they die. But my lord, this gives us a great opportunity. Lu Xun said from the side with an expression that I was not afraid of him.
"That's right, we just took the opportunity to take Liu Bei's territory, and then turned our heads to deal with Liu Dazi, as long as we clean up Liu Dazi first, then Liu Erzi in Jingzhou will not be captured." Lu Su said with a determined look.
Sun Quan, Lu Su and Lu Xun began to study how to deal with Liu Bei's dispatch of troops.
And Liu Bei is also very helpless here, and now he has a little bit of territory. If you look at the geographical division of Liu Xuewu's previous life, he only occupies three prefecture-level cities. This can't afford to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, although Sun Quan is also about the same territory, but he can't stand the fact that he has a good big brother, logistics help, and no worries about food and clothing. Therefore, Liu Bei can only barely maintain the current 16,000 soldiers and horses, if Sun Quan comes to attack in a wave, he Liu Bei will have to hand over the territory that he has worked so hard to fight.
If there is any change in Liu Bei's army, the three brothers of Liu Bei will definitely burst into tears if they know it. What kind of change, it's not that there is no money and food to support the soldiers, but some old and weak soldiers are helplessly dismissed. The army was reduced from more than 40,000 to 16,000 now, which Liu Bei could barely afford by tightening his belt with hemp rope. As Liu Bei's current military, Cui Zhouping can be regarded as capable, but it is a pity that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. After dozens of wars, the people in Yangzhou have been displaced, the population loss is extremely serious, and many fertile fields have been turned into wild grasslands. How many people in the village have gone to empty buildings, and how many lonely graves have risen from the ground, and the people have suffered, and the people have suffered.
