Chapter 97: Analysis and Commitment

To the south of Shudi, there are few people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

If you look at it from a modern perspective, these places are actually beautiful.

Speaking of the wilderness, people always think that the yellow sand is all over the sky, thousands of miles of red land, but this is not the case. The reason why the south is called a barbarian land by the people of the Central Plains is not because it is barren, but because although it is full of life, it is not suitable for the people of the Central Plains to live.

In terms of latitude, the places south of Sichuan and Shu, such as those in later generations, already belong to the tropical and subtropical monsoon climate zones, and as the latitude gets closer to the equator, you can experience the original tropical rainforest. This is a tourist attraction for modern people, but for ancient people whose ability to adapt to the environment has not evolved through thousands of years of continuous migration, running to live there is no different from looking for death.

This is the same as the reason why many officials in ancient times were relegated to distant places and either died on the road, or they did not live for a few years when they arrived in the place.

And now, these southern barbarians want to use this so-called "miasma" as a barrier to attack Shu.

It is undeniable that there is the promotion of various forces behind this, but more importantly, it is the ambition of the barbarians to enter the Central Plains, just as the nomads in the north, that is, the Hu people, the Xiongnu always want to attack the Central Plains.

Zhao Yun, who was standing on the city wall and looking south, was very clear about this.

At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn, and no one knew better than him what the situation in the southern part of Yizhou had become at this time.

It can be said that the entire Nanjun is now completely out of control, although there is no sign of active attack, but once any soldiers and horses enter the Nanjun, there will be barbarian soldiers chasing after them.

And Jiangzhou is the first state and county with Nan County, and Zhao Yun is in Jiangyang at this time to guard it.

In fact, there are two ways in front of him, nothing more than to fight or not, this choice was handed over to Liu Bei in his hands, after all, only by seeing the situation with his own eyes can he formulate countermeasures.

At the beginning, Zhao Yun, who was running thousands of miles, honestly wanted to fight, but when he knew that the entire Nanjun had almost changed hands, he decisively changed his countermeasures. At this time, although his soldiers and horses are not small, they are definitely not much, after all, most of the troops are in Hanzhong at this time, and they are at an absolute disadvantage in this regard. And he heard that at this time in Jingzhou, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang intended to recover Xiangfan in the north, and the soldiers and horses had already begun to gather in the north, except for leaving some to guard against Eastern Wu, there were no extra troops to help.

Besides, Zhao Yun didn't think that Guan Yu would retreat to help, for him, these barbarians in the south had never been in his eyes.

"General Guan has been a little too arrogant over the years" Zhao Yun shook his head, for this righteous brother who has been by the lord's side since the incident, almost no one in the entire Shu land except for the lord and Zhuge Liang can suppress him.

However, Zhao Yun didn't want to comment too much on this, he was only thinking about how to stabilize the situation in the south until Hanzhong was completely stabilized, and the lord led the army back to the division.

But after years of fighting, he was keenly aware of an extreme depression, and the entire silent Nanjun was like a hungry wolf hiding its strength, and he couldn't tell when he would pounce!

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

"General Yu, a secret letter from Wuyang."

Xia Houlan's voice was still so calm, just like the military law under his control, strict and sleek complemented each other. This fellow countryman who can control the military and kill the enemy is really his most solid right-hand man.

He took the secret letter and opened it, and when he saw the mark on it, he couldn't help but have a serious expression.

Young Lord's Mansion.

"General Zilong personally enlightened."

When Zen heard what the general said about the south, he was shocked. Under the severity of the military situation, Zen could not meet with the general in person, so he replaced him with this letter. ā€

"Zen doesn't know the art of war, but after skimming poetry and books, I occasionally get something."

"The southern barbarians in the south and the Xiongnu in the north have been diseases of the Central Plains since ancient times, but the two are different. The latter is nomadic and uninhabited, the grasslands in the north are sparse, and further to the northwest, there are many small countries, so the Central Plains is not the rice to eat and drink the water, although greedy but moderate. But the Nanban is different, there are people who migrated from the Central Plains, and the era is the territory of the Central Plains, so if it invades, it must have the intention of entering the Central Plains, and it is determined that the next city will defend a city, and the non-Huns will burn and loot it. Therefore, the threat of the former is far greater than that of the latter. ā€

"But if it is subdued, then the former must be sincere, far from the latter's wolf ambition."

Seeing the analysis of Liu Chan's letter, Zhao Yun couldn't help but nodded. This secret letter clarified in simple terms the harm of today's Southern Barbarians, and even more vaguely pointed out that it should be conquered rather than imitated by the ancestors of the Han and the Xiongnu.

This made Zhao Yun suddenly feel that the strategy in his heart before was really inferior.

He is not to blame for this. Zhao Yun fought all his life, but most of them were at war with the Central Plains, and he didn't understand the ideas of these barbarians, while Liu Chan ran through the history of thousands of years, and looked at the problem from a historical perspective, how could it not be ambitious?

He continued to look down, and the last few words were left at the end, but his pen was square, quite gentlemanly.

I saw that it was written:

"Zen promised today, in the war with the Southern Barbarians, Zen will keep the grain and grass in the rear, and the equipment will not stop until he hears the good news of the general!"

"That letter should have reached Zhao Yun's hands."

Liu Chan muttered a few words, now Nanban is the first thing he has to consider, as a person of later generations, through history he clearly understands that if these Nanban have the same temperament as the Xiongnu, I am afraid that they will not be at peace in Sichuan and Shu for a long time.

In fact, the force of the Southern Barbarians is really very powerful, just at this stage, there are some inexplicable, representing the high-end elephant soldiers of the cold weapon era in the south, and when they are placed in the Central Plains, they are a sharp weapon for charging into battle.

At this time, the people of the Central Plains had never tasted the power of this type of troops, and it was estimated that once they met them on the frontal battlefield, they would definitely be frightened and their morale would be greatly reduced.

"I don't have to think of a way to restrain this."

However, this battle on the battlefield is one thing, and on the other hand, there is a more important matter, and that is food.

Whether it was the construction of waterwheels or dikes, or the decrees issued from time to time to reduce taxes, Liu Chan's fundamental goal was actually to build agricultural development. The construction of industrialization is inseparable from mature agriculture, after all, people will only be stable when they are full first, and will they have the heart to do other things. If industry advances too quickly, it is likely that it will become the hard days of the later generations.

At this time, there was no hybrid rice, and the grain yield was low. Even a hundred Liu Chan couldn't do anything about this kind of molecule-level thing, and the only way he could think of was to think of a way from outside means.

Liu Chan, whose parents are farmers, is all glad for his identity.

At least he can have the knowledge to make soil fertilizer at the moment, right?
