Liu Yong was puzzled: "What does Brother Yuanlong mean by the two-year contract?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Zhuge Kongming gave Chongru a countermeasure, first take Jingzhou as his home, and then take Xichuan Jianye, so as to become a full force." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kong Ming also said that Jingzhou is a place to be used, and its lord Liu Biao can't keep it, but so? ”

"yes." Liu Yong was puzzled.

Chen Deng nodded and said: "Cao Gong is now on an expedition to Liucheng, and it is difficult to return every year, so this Chongru is a good opportunity to gain a foothold in Jingzhou." Chen Deng is willing to swear with Chongru that if you take Jingzhou within two years, I will resign from the post of Guangling Taishou and go to Jingzhou to help you. ”

"Brother Yuanlong has misunderstood the meaning of the younger brother." Liu Yong's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "The younger brother came to Guangling just because he had many doubts and hesitations, and I knew that my brother was brilliant and knowledgeable, so I came to ask for advice." Although the younger brother is dull, he also has self-knowledge, how can he dare to bother Brother Yuanlong to help each other. ”

These words are not Liu Yong's humble words, he knows that Chen Deng does not have a heavy Han orthodox complex like Zhuge Liang, but a realist and opportunist, and holds important positions such as Guangling Taishou and General Fubo; What's more important is that he only has one city, and whether he can take down Jingzhou is still an unpredictable and illusory thing, so it is immoral and unbearable to write a blank check to him like this, so Liu Yong really did not plan to ask Chen Deng to go to Yuyuan to help him this time, of course, it will be certain in the future.

Chen Deng smiled and said, "Say nothing for my brother." Where Chen Deng will be in the future depends on Chongru yours. ”

Liu Yong couldn't ask for it, stood up and walked in front of Chen Deng, hugged his fists and bowed deeply: "Yuanlong values the little brother so much, the little brother is very thankful." ”

Chen Deng stretched out his hands to support Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "Then let's make a decision." Come, we high-five. As he spoke, he slapped Liu Yong three times, and the two couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other.

Chen Deng reminded again: "Chongru thinks that Liu Biao is really a useless person? ”

"It's not something to look at simply." Liu Yong shook his head, sighed and said, "Liu Jingsheng is not an idle person. In the first year of the first peace, Liu Jingsheng succeeded to the assassination of Jingzhou, but the Jiangnan sect was very prosperous, and the powerful and powerful people in various places supported the army and respected themselves, and did not obey the orders. Liu Jingsheng was not afraid of hardships and dangers, rode into Jing alone, and conspired with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others. Shi Xiaoli booby-trapped and killed 55 thieves and collected them all; Clever words persuaded Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to surrender and recover Xiangyang. This thunderous momentum frightened the county magistrates of Jingzhou, and most of them fled. In just one year, Liu Biao pacified the seven counties of Jingzhou, managed the troops in Xiangyang, and waited for the changes of the times. Since then, Liu Biaowei has negotiated and lured well, and Jingzhou has been purged for thousands of miles since then, and the people are satisfied; Liu Biao also opened a school official, begged for Confucianism, appeased the relief, and there were as many as 1,000 people from Guanxi, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou. In the third year of Jian'an, Liu Biao captured Zhang Yi again, opened up the land, collected Lingling and Guiyang in the south, and Hanchuan in the north, sitting on a territory of thousands of miles, with more than 100,000 armored soldiers, which is eye-catching. ”

Chen Deng echoed: "At this time, Liu Jingsheng is high-spirited and majestic, who dares to underestimate him? ”

Liu Yong bowed his head and said: "Mencius Yun: Born in sorrow, died in peace. Jingzhou has been politically clear for many years, the people are stable, and the life is rich, Liu Jingsheng is indulged in pleasure, and gradually becomes timid and suspicious. At that time, Yuan and Cao confronted each other in Guandu, and Liu Jingsheng had 100,000 people, but he only knew how to sit and watch, thinking that neither of them would be offended, but the result was that both of them resented him. Han Song, who is engaged in Zhonglang, admonished: The heroes are fighting together, the two heroes are holding each other, and the importance of the world lies only in the general. If the general wants to make a difference in troubled times, he should take advantage of the chaos in the world to start trouble; If not, then you should choose a person who can dominate the world and obey. Han Song also said that Cao Gong is in the position of prime minister, Weide stands side by side, and all the virtuous and virtuous people in the world will return to him, and he will eventually be able to destroy Yuan Shao and unify Hebei. If the north is stable, Cao Gong will definitely wave his army to the south, and I am afraid that the general will be difficult to resist at that time, so it is better to make plans as soon as possible and move the state to serve Cao Gong. Cao Gong got the help of the general in the crisis, and he will be grateful for the picture and treat the general well, so that he can enjoy the blessings for a long time, and his descendants will be Yanran. Don't drive Liu Xian, and the ministers Kuai Yue thought so, and also persuaded each other. It's just that although Liu Jingzhou sent Han Song to see him, he was hesitant and missed the opportunity. ”

"One time, another." Chen Deng sighed, and also said, "The last time Cao Gong went on an expedition to merge with the state, Chongru used a clever plan to rescue the saint from trouble, if Liu Jingsheng welcomed His Majesty, on the one hand, he told the princes of the world to protect him, and on the other hand, he diligently cultivated war preparations and waited for the day, and he could not compete with Cao Gong." It's a pity that Liu Jingsheng is short-sighted and smart, thinking that Cao Gong will definitely keep his promise and abide by the oath, but he can defend the land and protect himself, and he will not accept it behind closed doors. Brother I really want to see, when Cao Gong captures the Yuan brothers and conquers Jingzhou in the south, what is Liu Jingsheng's face? ”

"It must be beating your chest, and you can't regret it!" Liu Yong said hatefully, paused for a while, and said, "Xu Shu once said: Liu Biao is good at political affairs, not chaos. Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and was good at prestige, and he would seize the Han family, but Liu Biao, as a relative of the Han family, could not Xingqin Wang ask the teacher of guilt, and made meritorious contributions to the court; In the dispute between Guandu, Liu Biao occupied the important land in Jingzhou, but he could influence the situation in the world, but Liu Biao hesitated to look around between Yuan and Cao, and he was unsuitable for obligation, and he was invincible. Xu Shu said again, they all said that Liu Jingsheng is good, good and evil, and when they meet, they can't use the good and the good, and the evil and can't go, they have a false name. ”

Chen Deng was stunned and said, "Who is Xu Shu?" His evaluation of Liu Biao is so appropriate. ”

Liu Yong said embarrassedly: "Xu Shu is a friend of Zhuge Liang, and now he is serving as the right military division in Luoyuan. ”

"It's really lonely and unheard of to be a brother, and it's really a talent in troubled times." Chen Deng shook his head and sighed, "Chongru has the support of geniuses such as Kong Ming and Xu Shu, so why do you need to help your brother. ”

Liu Yong said: "Why should Brother Yuanlong be so humble. If it weren't for the elder brother's discernment, how would the younger brother know the flaws of Kong Ming's strategy. ”

Chen Deng was humble for a while, and then asked, "How to take down Jingzhou Chongru can you have a plan?" ”

"Only a preliminary idea. The younger brother discussed a strategy with Kong Ming and Xu Shu to kill two birds with one stone, which can not only show favor to Sun Quan, but also resolve the gap with Liu Biao, gain his trust, and then wait for the opportunity to try Jingzhou again. Liu Yong briefly said what he thought.

"That's a great idea." Chen Deng praised it and reminded him, "Chongru, everything needs to be done at the opportunity, act decisively, and must not hesitate. ”

"Yes. Liu Yong remembered his brother's admonition. ”

Chen Deng asked again: "If Chongru takes Jingzhou, how will he think about it in the future?" ”

"Didn't it be planned according to Kong Ming's strategy at that time?" Liu Yong scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Not only should Jingzhou and Yizhou send troops at the same time, but there must also be an indispensable condition, that is, there are changes in the world." The younger brother thought, I don't know when the world will change, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, so it is not wrong for the younger brother to plan early and concentrate on development. ”

Chongru is very reasonable. So how do you plan to do it? ”

"Part of this is being implemented by the original now, and it has some effect, and part of it is implemented by the younger brother's plan, and I will also ask Brother Yuanlong to consider and improve it. There are four main aspects. Liu Yong humbled himself for a while, took a sip of tea, and explained in detail, "The first is political: the implementation of the opening of science and the selection of talents. People regardless of race, regardless of origin, as long as they are talented, they can become officials; Reform the administration of officials, improve the supervision and evaluation of officials, so that they can be promoted or demoted, rewarded and punished, and resolve and reconcile the contradictions between officials and the people; The second is the economic aspect: the implementation of light taxes, incentives and support and other policies to benefit farmers and rich peasants, promote the development of crop and animal husbandry, and at the same time vigorously develop handicrafts and commerce to accumulate wealth; The third is the social aspect: the construction of schools, hospitals, parks, water plants, stations, docks, post offices, banks and other infrastructure, and the improvement of compulsory education, medical insurance, pension insurance and other security systems; The last one is military: Strengthen peacetime training and actual combat simulation, emphasize equal emphasis on individual combat and coordinated operations, innovate tactical tactics, develop new weapons, and at the same time strengthen militia training, so that all people are soldiers and all people can fight. ”

The more Chen Deng listened, the more surprised he became, his eyes widened, and he was stunned: "So many! Chongru is finished? ”

Liu Yong nodded while holding the teacup, just took a sip, and then put it down and added, "By the way, there are also laws and regulations to formulate and improve laws and regulations, and reward talents with scientific and technological inventions and innovations." Well, not for now. ”

Chen Deng was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said: "Although there are still some things that Chongru said about being a brother, I still don't understand it, but I also feel that it is quite complete. I will send you twelve words for my brother, if you can do this, you don't have to care about Kong Ming's other conditions, you can just send troops to conquer. ”

Liu Yong said happily: "Brother Yuanlong, I don't know which twelve words? ”

Chen Deng said word by word: "The field is open, the warehouse is solid, the equipment is profitable, and the accumulation is abundant." ”

"Thank you, Brother Yuanlong, for your advice. The younger brother also knows that the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and Ruth has to go step by step, so these are just preliminary ideas, and I don't know what will happen when it is actually implemented. Liu Yong's face was happy, and his eyebrows fluttered, "The little brother has gained a lot here with Brother Yuanlong, and he can cross the river to see Sun Quan in a few days." ”

"Speaking of Sun Quan as a brother, I think of one thing." Chen Deng turned to the side and said to Liu Yong, "How does Chongru feel about the entry and exit system implemented for his brother?" How did you prevent it? ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Yuanlong, the younger brother's Luo Yuan is a big open city gate, and he can come and go freely."

Chen Deng was surprised: "Chongru is so relieved? Aren't you afraid of someone coming to sneak attack? ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Little brother, it's tight on the outside and loose on the inside." In Fuyi City, except for the barracks, government offices, prisons and other key departments are not allowed to trespass, other places can be walked around at will, even on the city tower I did not have a fortification, just regularly carry out actual combat drills; In the major cities around Fuyi, I have sent a detailed work, and as long as there is an abnormal movement of troops, I will immediately send a message back. In addition, I have also arranged a number of Youyong secret posts on various roads leading to Fuyi to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Chen Deng said with envy on his face: "I knew that there were many rich and righteous talents, and the wealth was rival the country, but I didn't expect it to be like this, I am really envious of my brother." It seems that I can only honestly look at the city gates. ”

Liu Yong asked, "Brother Yuanlong's method is not perfect, right?" ”

Chen Deng sighed and said, "Yes." If Jiangdong pretends to be a long-term businessman or bribes a few locals for his use, what he does for his brother will be useless. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Brother Yuanlong, the younger brother has a way. ”

Chen Deng was overjoyed and said: "Chongru said quickly." ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "It's better to prevent it." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Deng was confused when he heard it.

"Brother Yuanlong is a smart one, and he was confused for a while. Why did Koto come to you? Are you here to play? No, I'm here to spy on the military. Therefore, no matter which ferry he comes from on the Yangtze River, or which city gate he enters from, you only need to pay close attention to a few important places. ”

Chen Deng patted his head and shouted: "I'm really confused, I haven't figured out such a simple truth." ”

Liu Yong said: "Those meticulous works can only do these things secretly, with strange whereabouts and strange behaviors, which are very easy to find." It's just that these people are thoughtful and alert, and when they see a servant, an official or a suspicious person, they immediately become well-behaved and like ordinary people, making it difficult to distinguish. ”

"yes. Is there any good way to do it? ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Brother Yuanlong, there are ruffians, scoundrels, beggars and other idle people everywhere in this city, you only need to pay a little money to buy or coerce with the law, let these people pay more attention on weekdays, and report it immediately if you find someone who is suspicious and does things mysterious?" ”

Chen Deng was even more overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Chongru, how did you come up with so many ideas in your heart." ”

Liu Yong smiled and asked again: "What Brother Yuanlong did was actually to prevent Jiangdong from raising troops to attack, right?" ”

Chen Deng nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"The first two big victories over the Wu army Yu Kuangyi were not only the wisdom of Brother Yuanlong's scheming and command, but also the fact that Wu generals had no way to dispatch, the soldiers were arrogant and arrogant, and the Jiangdong Navy was not good at land warfare. And the Yangtze River stretches and meanders, and can be crossed everywhere, if Jiangdong sends another general, here with heavy troops, detour and then attack Guangling, how can Brother Yuanlong resist? ”

Chen Deng was slightly stunned, and reluctantly said: "I'm afraid that my brother can only stick to it behind closed doors." He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the Wu army will not dare to attack from the land." As long as the brother holds on for more than a month, the reinforcements from Anhui City and Xuzhou will arrive, so the Wu army is far away from the Yangtze River, where can they retreat, are they not afraid of the annihilation of the whole army? Chen Deng said in his mouth, but he kept thinking in his heart, there have been too many unexpected soldiers from ancient times to the present, if the Wu army really attacked with Liu Yong's strategy, can I hold out for a month? Thinking of this, Chen Deng's tone of voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible, and finally he sighed deeply.

Liu Yong naturally guessed what Chen Deng was thinking, and said with a smile: "I have a little idea." ”

Chen Deng was even more surprised, and hurriedly said: "What other tricks does Chongru have?" (To be continued.) )
