Chapter 217: Liu Du's Decision

In March, Yang Xi returned to Jiangxia and arranged for suitable managers to go to Wuling County to manage it.

Why did Yang Xi take Wuling County, because Wuling County is Yizhou to the west, and the entrance and exit of Yizhou and Jingzhou were strangled, and the Yangtze River was intercepted by himself.

Yang Xi wants to expand his goods and influence to Yizhou.

Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing are still the governors of Changsha, and all other current officials are sent to Jiangxia for management training, and they have to pass the customs before they can take up their posts, and after they go back, the department will also make new arrangements.

As for the army, there were 12,000 soldiers from each county in Changsha County, all of which were distributed in accordance with the rules of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce and the standard of military salaries, and the army was boiling all of a sudden.

Why? Because most of these county soldiers were peasants from all over the country who came to serve in the conscription, each adult man, in addition to the two years of free conscription, also needed a month of conscription every year.

The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce was exempted from conscription, and the salary for conscription was also paid, which was not low, equivalent to an ordinary employee of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, who wants to go back to farming, enlisting in the army has become a rush to do.

It's a pity that the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has no intention of expanding.

Zhang Ji is full of passion, especially in the construction of hospitals.

The governor of Wuling was represented by Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan, one was because Shi Tao was not qualified enough, and the other was because Wuling County had not been completely taken, but Yang Xi believed that if he left ten cannons for Mao Luan and Zhou Tai, they could not take other county towns without soldiers, so they would have to be eaten to death.

Xiangyang, Liu Biao is simply crazy.

Wuling and Changsha were lost, Guiyang Taishou was killed, and all the military strength was lost, leaving only Lingling in the middle, and Yang Xi blocked the Dongting Lake section of the Yangtze River.

Losing four counties at once, he is equivalent to only half of Nanjun and Jiangxia, and there is still Nanyang County competing with Cao Cao, which is also one and a half.

He, the Jingzhou pastor, was cut two-thirds of the seven counties.

The most hateful thing is Yang Xi, who is not even a school captain, but actually leads more than ten counties, more than 30 counties in the world, and he accounts for one-third.

Liu Biao did not count the population, Yang Xi now controls more than 10 million people, and more than one-third. Wuling County has a small population, after all, it is located in the barren land of Xiangxi, with a total population of only 250,000, but Changsha is a large county, with a population of millions.

There is a person who is as depressed and bad as Liu Biao.

No, it's two.

These two people are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

The two discussed privately what to do.

Yang Xi occupies Wuling County, how do they get to Yizhou? How to get Jingzhou?

Even Zhuge Liang believes that Yang Xi did it on purpose.

Yang Xi really didn't mean it, taking Wuling had nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang also has a reason for being depressed, and that is Kuai Qi's death. Kuai Qi is his eldest brother-in-law, and now the Kuai family is going to fall apart, and the eldest sister has to be widowed.

But Zhuge Liang was powerless at this time, and in the face of absolute strength, any plan would pale in comparison.

In Exian, more than 700 prisoners were arranged in a training base, and Wen Ping was among them.

Wen Ping really felt like a dream, since he went south, nothing went well, and everything seemed to be God doing it against him.

It wasn't until I entered the training center, listened to some legends about the flying ball, and then studied physics, that I realized that the thing we breathe in this world is called air.

When the air is heated, it will be less dense than our normal temperature air, and it will float up like wood in water and float to the sky.

Wen Ping shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that this world is so magical, I originally thought that water is water, but it turns out that water is more than water. ”

Wen Ping was stunned by himself, but he had to continue, because of all the captives, he had to take the exam.

He once considered that he would rather die than surrender, but in the end he found that he was still young and had a lot of things to do, so let's descend first.

Yang Xi didn't know that Wen Ping was captured by himself, more than 10,000 names, there was no reason to look at them one by one, only when the exam results came out, he looked at the top-notch, because he couldn't imagine that there was a cow named Wen Ping, who was doing ideological struggles on his own territory.

In March, the news that Zhou Yu had won Guiyang County spread all over the world, Guiyang County had a population of about 500,000, and Zhou Yu almost encountered little resistance because Taishou was killed by Mao Luan.

Zhou Yu got Guiyang and began to consider whether to take Lingling County, but at this time, Lingling Taishou Liu Du had nothing to do, and his teacher was unknown.

And this is a leak, pick up Yang Xi's leak, if it is too much, will Yang Xi send troops from Wuling and Changsha, attack on both sides, drive himself out of Lingling, or even go south and drive himself back to Jiaozhou.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yu decided to wait for Yang Xi's reaction, if Yang Xi took Guiyang to himself, he didn't react, and then considered continuing to go north to take Lingling.

said that Liu Du returned to Lingling, and heard that Zhao Fan and Kuai Qi were all beheaded, and he was secretly glad in his heart. If you insist on it, I'm afraid it will be the result.

A few days later, he heard the news that Changsha County next door belonged to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and before he was surprised, news came from Guiyang County in the south, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor and lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to take Guiyang.

Liu Du hurriedly gathered the crowd to discuss, and his general Xing Daorong said: "Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, then Yang Xi will attack Wuling, we will naturally not be effective, but if he attacks my Lingling, we will unite as one." Not to mention Zhou Yu, if he comes to attack, he only needs to give me soldiers and horses, and I will take his head to sacrifice. ”

Hearing this, Liu Du was a little relieved.

In February, Cao Cao attacked Liyang and fought a great battle with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang under the city of Liyang, but Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated and retreated to Yecheng.

In April, Cao Cao's army pursued to Yecheng and harvested the wheat in the field.

The generals of the Cao army all proposed to take advantage of the victory to attack Yecheng, Guo Jia said: "Yuan Shao liked Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan's two sons before his death, and he couldn't decide who to make as his successor. Today, they are equal in power, and each has his own henchmen. When the situation is critical, they help each other. If the situation eases even slightly, there will be a struggle for power. It is better to take Jingzhou south first, wait for his brothers to fight, and then attack it, and it will be pacified in one fell swoop. And there are still Yang Xi's soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, if you force it too quickly, it will be even more unbeautiful if you vote for Yang Xi. ”

Cao Cao thought deeply and said: "The words of filial piety have won my heart!" So he no longer attacked the Yuan brothers.

In May, Cao Cao returned to Xudu, leaving only his subordinate general Jia Xin to garrison Liyang.

Yuan Tan failed in Qingzhou before, was captured by Yang Xi, and had no soldiers and horses, after returning to Hebei, the number of soldiers and horses in his hands increased very little, so he asked his brother Yuan Shang to increase the number of soldiers, update the armor of the army, and pursue Cao Cao when he retreated.

Yuan Shang suspected that Yuan Tan had two hearts, so he refused to ask. Yuan Tan was furious and raised troops to attack Yuan Shang.

The two fought outside the Yecheng Gate, and Yuan Tan was defeated and retired to Nanpi. In August of that year, Yuan Shangqin led a large army to attack Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan was defeated, retreated to the plains, and held the city.

Guo Jia is worthy of being a ghost, and so on, all of which are in his calculations, and no one in the world can match his grasp of people's hearts, including Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that he is also slightly inferior in this regard, and it can be compared from the things of the street pavilion.
