"The state pastor Miao praises, and his subordinates are just throwing bricks and leading the way, and they have seen it all. Yuan Hao and Gongda are all heroes of the world, and there must be a furrow in the chest, if there is a deficiency, you can add more guidance and supplement. Guo Jia smiled, but there was a significant sly light in his eyes, and in understatement, he casually threw out a big hat and put it on the heads of the two of them, which made Tian Feng and Xun Da a little embarrassed for a while. Let's talk about my own thoughts, it is almost equivalent to agreeing with Guo Jia's unjust move to let He Chen cross the county to conquer; If you don't make a sound, you will show that you are chiseled and have no opinions.

He Chen praised it in his heart, and even cited Guo Jia as a confidant in his heart, which almost said what he could only think about but didn't dare to say for the time being. It is said that Guo Jia's surname is different from ordinary people, and today he has a deep understanding, no wonder he was impeached by Chen Qun at that time, but this guy is still doing his own thing, maverick, because there is a big god Cao Ying on it. Do celebrities have surnames? Grandma's, Brother Guo, now there is no Cao Ying to cover you, and Uncle He is desperate to stand up to you. However, He Chen didn't want to make the other two strategists unhappy because of Guo Jia's words, and he always had to give a buffer time for everything. Now that Guo Jia has pierced this layer of paper, they will definitely think about it in the next day.

"Haha, Fengxiao is a little far away, for now, let's pay attention to the eight counties of Jingzhou first, and no one can say what will happen in the future." He Chen blinked his eyes, made a vague point, and then laughed.

Guo Jia also had a delicate heart, and suddenly understood He Chen's agreement, obviously He Chen didn't want Tian Feng and Xun You to be unable to get off the stage for a while, nodded secretly, looked up to He Chen again, and agreed: "What the state pastor said is very true. ”

"Xiangyang got its name because it is located in the Yang of Xiangshui. Located at the junction of Nanyang and Nanjun, several mountain ranges Qinling, Tongbai Mountain, and Dabie Mountain lie in the middle, blocking the north-south traffic, leaving only a small passageway, even if the brave and good soldiers and horses, if they want to go south, they must first open up this joint; Among them, there is also a Han River that flows from the northwest to the southeast, passing through the middle, which adds to the geographical advantage of Xiangyang. ”

Listening to Guo Jia's meticulous analysis, He Chen couldn't help but nod and said: "In the world's words, its shape is more important than Xiangyang; In the southeast, the emphasis is on Jiangxia; In terms of Huguang, the emphasis is on Jingzhou. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Xiangyang is beaten with iron and Fancheng is made of water. Xiangyang City has a natural barrier with a dangerous situation, and a city with a tight layout and compact structure, coupled with well-guarded garrison facilities, it has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. ”

"Xiangyang made of iron, Fancheng made of water? Xiangyang City is on the south bank of the Han River, and the north of the city is based on the Han River as a moat. Fancheng is on the north bank of the Han River, and whenever the enemy soldiers go south to attack the city, there is no danger of geographical advantage, and it is not easy to defend, which is a very vivid metaphor. Tian Feng listened to the two of them talking, and his heart was also a little itchy, and finally he couldn't help but interject and exclaimed.

He Chen was embarrassed again, Xiangyang City is fine, at least it has developed, but Fancheng is very different, this is a saying that began to circulate after Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army.

"That's right, the governor was really prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have known so thoroughly. There are more than 10 mountain peaks in the southwest of Xiangyang City, among which Zhenwu Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Da Xian Mountain and other majestic abnormalities, which constitute the peripheral natural barrier of Xiangyang City, and the north and east of the city are surrounded by the surging Han River, whether it is walking, horseback riding, wooden boats, the barrier formed by these natural geographical conditions is difficult to overcome. Therefore the shepherd of the state should not raise his army and march forward, but should first persuade him to surrender. ”

"Persuasion?" He Chen groaned a little, and a person suddenly floated in his mind, he was Deng Zhi.

"Fengxiao's words are very reasonable, thousands of miles for officials are only for wealth, what is Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng gathering to live in Xiangyang? There is nothing more than power and wealth. As long as you know it with affection and induce heavy profits, it is estimated that it is not very difficult. Once back to the topic, Xun You also put aside the gloomy expression just now and began to make plans.

"That's right, there's a suitable candidate." He Chen let out a long breath and said with a smile on his face.

"I don't know who the state pastor is?"

At this time, Guo Jia and the other three were a little surprised, and for a while they couldn't think of any lobbyist who could make He Chen so true.

"This person is Deng Yu, and Deng Zhi is also." He Chen didn't hide it, and generously confessed Deng Zhi.

"It turned out to be this person. Although Deng Zhi is a little anxious, he has sharp teeth, clear thinking, flexible mind, and the ability to be quick and intelligent. A good candidate indeed. The state pastor's vision of people is really first-class. Xun You couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

He Chen laughed at Xun You's praise, and before everyone talked about the situation.

At this time, Tian Feng said: "State pastor, yesterday the official sent someone to count the materials overnight, and now there are general statistics, has the state pastor seen it?" There is also how to resettle the exiles, and wait for the state pastor to distribute. ”

Before He Chen could speak, Guo Jia stood up and said loudly: "Since the state pastor and the two colleagues still have important matters to discuss, then the subordinates will retire first." ”

"Slow." He Chen stretched out his hand to block Guo Jia, who was about to turn around and leave, whether the other party was sincere or wanted to test himself, he must not be allowed to leave at this time, otherwise the goodwill that he had finally built up would have a pimple and leave a little crack in his heart. He Chen smiled slightly and said: "Fengxiao is no longer an outsider now, and there is nothing to hide from you in Benzhou, so you don't need to deliberately avoid leaving." ”

Guo Jia's face was slightly hesitant, and he said with some excitement: "Xie Zhoumu." ”

He Chen said with interest to Tian Feng's forehead, "Let's talk about the situation of the people first." ”

Speaking of this topic, Tian Fengxian said with some sadness: "In just a few dozen days, our sergeants have received more than 70,000 or 80,000 people, and this number is still increasing. Due to the large quantity, there will be a shortage of food supply for our army in less than half a decade, and it will be a thorny and big problem at that time. ”

"There are so many people?" He Chen was taken aback, damn, seventy or eighty thousand mouths, Lao Tzu will be poor sooner or later if he has money.

"Tian Feng, Xun You, the two of you must come up with a draft in the shortest possible time, Benzhou Mu has worked hard to grab so many people, you must find a way to settle them. Whether it is for them to find a job in the city, or to reclaim wasteland, we must come up with a concrete and feasible way. He Chen said categorically, his words were sharp and powerful, showing his firm determination.

"My subordinates understand." Both of them responded at the same time.

Tian Feng said again: "Here is the approximate account book that was counted yesterday, and I also ask the state pastor to look at it." ”

"I'm looking at the ledger when I have time, and you can report the approximate numbers now." He Chen waved his hand.

Xiao Yitian Feng is mature and steady, well-informed, but when it comes to this batch of property, he immediately put aside the depressed look just now, and said with some excitement: "Due to the overnight inventory, it can only be roughly classified, and it is not clear how many belongings there are." However, the initial frequency estimates that the state harvest is huge, including more than 30,000 taels of gold, more than 100,000 strings of money, thousands of silk horses, 100 pieces of jade, including pearls, jade, jade agate is not counted, the total value is estimated, it is estimated that the top of the county of Nanyang more than three years of taxes. ”

The three people present were taken aback by this huge wealth, and their faces were in a daze.

Although He Chen had a smile on his face, the stiff muscles on his face and the twitching of his acupuncture points from time to time showed great joy in his heart. It's the same thing, these two goods are already happy in their hearts, how much armor can be made, how many weapons can be made, how many schools can be opened, and how many people can be organized to open canals and cultivate fields. How long the fuck is it going to take me to count. Will you collapse Lao Tzu's bed when you count?

Said, Lao Tzu also counted the money and counted the day when his hands cramped.

Compared with He Chenyi's infinite silver, Xun You was much more down-to-earth, and counted while breaking his fingers: "Now Wancheng is a number of counties in the world, although the city is high and the walls are thick, but due to the wars in recent years, there have been many cracks, in the past, it was just a simple reinforcement and reinforcement, and now with this huge amount of money, it can be renovated and completely built into a strong city; And ......"

"Repairing the city is secondary, and this wealth should be used on a good blade, and it should not be used for things that are superficial. In the eyes of his subordinates, the white water around Wancheng, in disrepair, if the rainy weather, only afraid of flooding, can first organize a large number of people, dredge the river from the new, irrigation of thousands of acres of fertile land. Tian Feng simply interrupted Xun You's long speech, hurriedly threw out the thoughts in his heart, and said in a loud voice.

"Hey...... Don't just think about repairing this and that, after a while, we will send troops to Guiyang County, just recruit troops and horses, hoard grain and grass, and train a group of elite soldiers. Moreover, the pastoral heart of this state has long been regulated, and these belongings cannot be touched except for the purchase of military rations. After going back this time, we must first set up a group of special main battle gun regiments, and then we must also set up a sailor corps to make all preparations for going east to Wuhui and guarding the Yangtze River. Among them, the armor, weapons, and food are not known to use money, and you don't even think about it. At this time, He Chen saw that the two strategists were almost about to divide up all the property, so he couldn't help jumping to his feet in a hurry, and roared with a thick neck.

"Training the elite is not a one-time effort, at least a year and a half, or more than several years, is it difficult for the lord to want to ascend to the sky in one step?" Tian Feng was also a little anxious, and immediately retorted.

"After Nanyang is the front position, if the city is not strong, how can it be this great task?" Xun You's tone also raised an octave.

"No, let's ...... first"

Just for a moment, the three people who were originally amiable were like vindictive roosters at this time, looking at each other angrily and foaming at the mouth.

Guo Jia, who was firmly hung in general, was stunned and couldn't make a sound for a long time.
