Chapter 730: The Wu Army Advances West

In the early morning of 23 April, Sun Quan personally awarded the battalion commanders the battalion flags to the military aircraft council held for the first time by the Wu State Military Aircraft Department.

This meeting quickly caused a strong concussion effect in the military of Wu State.

In fact, the things discussed at this conference are not very important, but its meaning is different. The greatest role of the meeting was to strengthen the control of the center over the soldiers and horses of the battalions.

Beginning with the staff officers of the General Staff Division, they were stationed in the main combat units, and then the Logistics Division accepted the salaries and rations of the military camps, and established the Military Judge Advocate Offices in the major battalions after the re-attack of the Military Justice Division.

These policies are a sign that the rights controlled by the main battalion generals are constantly being deprived, and giving back to the center has deepened the control of the various battalions.

It's not nice to say, as long as these policies are fully implemented, even if the owner of a battalion wants to rebel, he must also think that there will be a few people behind him who will follow him to rebel.

This is the best result of Sun Quan's convening of the Military Aircraft Council.

It is inevitable that the army will guard the frontier, but how the center can control the frontier soldiers and horses has always been a problem in all dynasties.

This cannot be pinned on the loyalty of one or two people, there must be a perfect system.

Although today's system still has some loopholes and a gap from the times, this is the best step that Sun Quan can do.

Now the military camps in various places have not been completely stabilized, so after the Great Council, the lords of all parties will begin to quickly return to the heads of each battalion, but Huang Zhong of the Youzhou camp and Zhou Tai of the Nanhai camp were left behind by Sun Quan.

Huang Zhong was left behind because of the affairs of the Youzhou camp and Sun Quan's plot to merge the state, while Zhou Tai was about Wu's march into the West. Don't let Sun Quan stay.

April 25, morning.

Battle Temple.

Sun Quan was wearing a brocade robe, looking at the sand table of Youzhou, and not far away, Huang Zhong stood beside him with some calmness, lowering his head. Silent.

"Han Sheng, this time he was calculated by Wei Guo, how do you feel?" After half a ring, Sun Quan turned his head and looked at the general, who was already a little gray-haired, and sprinkled a handful of salt on his wound.

Huang Hansheng has not yet reached the old age and strength in history, and he is still in the state of twilight in his prime, according to history, ten years later. He can still have a fight with Guan Yu.

But now, he was obviously a little cautious, and when he heard Sun Quan's words, his whole person was like a fighting.

"Anger!"

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "King, in this battle, a certain one was defeated, and a certain one confessed, but a certain one was aggrieved. Before he started fighting, he had already lost the opportunity. 20,000 soldiers are pinched in their hands, and a certain advance is not, nor is it retreat, I really can't understand what is wrong? ”

In the battle of Zhuojun, he fought the most aggrieved battle, and he has not yet started to fight. The two divisions were already surrounded, and if he moved, the suppressed main force would not dare to move.

"It's good to know that you are aggrieved!"

Sun Quan said calmly: "Lone doesn't know what you did wrong in this battle, but this battle, whether it is your decision or strategy is problematic." As the commander of a battalion, it was your fault that you were defeated, and you lost 100,000 stone of grain to the imperial court, and in order to give an explanation to the cabinet and the household department, you have to suffer a little! ”

Huang Zhong's defeat of Zhuojun did cause some controversy in the court, and some people in the cabinet called for Huang Zhong to be removed from the post of general of Youzhou.

However, Sun Quan didn't want to think about this proposal, so he directly rejected it.

"Please punish the king!" Huang Zhong knelt down on one knee.

"When you leave the palace gate, you will automatically go to the Judge Advocate General's Department to receive a hundred military sticks, and then you will be alone in the next official document, and you will be fined one year's military salary, and you will not be promoted for three years.

Sun Quan said lightly.

"The last general is guilty!"

Huang Zhong nodded, it's really just a small punishment and a big commandment, a hundred military sticks, unless Lu Bu personally comes to carry it out, otherwise there is no big threat to him, one year's military salary, a person like him who has already become the commander of a battalion, deducts his military salary for ten years, and he can't starve his whole family to death.

As for promotion, he doesn't care anymore, the commander of the first battalion, the general of the chariot and cavalry, in this life, he is already satisfied.

"Are you still very upset now?" Sun Quan squinted.

"Sort of!"

Huang Zhong nodded and said: "The last general has no objection to this point when he is defeated, but the last general is a little unhappy in his heart why he lost to Zhang Liao, this battle feels breathless!" ”

"You hold back this breath, and Lone will find a way to give it to you, Jizhou, don't stare at it, look at it!" Sun Quan pointed to the sand table in front of him and said.

"Merge states?"

Huang Zhong took a thousand steps, looked at the topographic map of Bingzhou, and said: "King, according to a certain point, now the senior cadres of Bingzhou have long died, and at present, Ma Chao is guarding the state, Ma Chao's troops are very strong, and there is also a Pang De to help, if the Youzhou battalion forcibly goes south, I am afraid that we will lose both sides, and in the end, we may let Wei pick up a big bargain!" ”

Youzhou is adjacent to the merger state, so naturally you will not know anything about the merger, and now the information of the Youzhou battalion controlling the merger will not be less than that of Jinyiwei.

"There is about to change in Liangguo, Ma Chao will return to Chang'an, once Ma Chao returns to Chang'an, Bingzhou will be a borderless land, and then Wei will inevitably send troops to take Bingzhou, and we will naturally have a piece of the pie!"

There was a touch of burning in Sun Quan's expression, Wei State's plot against Guanzhong would inevitably cause some changes, and Bingzhou was the biggest change, and it was also the only place where Wu State could directly reach out and seize benefits.

Sun Quan pointed to the sand table of Bingzhou and said: "What you mean is that when you try not to collide with Wei, you can take the most territory of Bingzhou as quickly as possible, as long as you take it, it will be our Wu State!" ”

"No!"

Huang Zhong was full of fighting spirit and nodded: "Great King, once the battle starts, the end will ensure that the most territories of the annexed states will be taken at the fastest speed!" ”

"By the way, you have to be careful of the Xianbei and Huns in the north!"

Sun Quan reminded the way.

"Don't worry, the Youzhou camp has already built a direction in Daijun and Shanggu, and plans to devour the grassland step by step!"

Huang Zhong bowed down and said, "With the help of the Karasuma people's soldiers and horses, we have made up for the gap in the grassland!" ”

"Is Lou Ban still docile?"

When Sun Quan heard this, his heart moved and asked.

The Karasuma tribe is a blade inserted into the grassland by the Wu Kingdom. But this may also be a double-sided blade, so don't hurt yourself.

Zhang Yan was staring at him, he was quite docile, many of the Karasuma people have now integrated into Youzhou, of course, the people of the Karasuma tribe and the people of Youzhou have also had a lot of conflicts. After all, the fight was so fierce in Youzhou at the beginning, and the two sides have accumulated hundreds of years of grievances and hatreds, which are not so easy to resolve! ”

Huang Zhong said carefully: "However, under the suppression of Lou Ban and Zhang Yan, there is some integration in front of them now!" ”

"Good!"

Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction and said, "In terms of government affairs, Guan Jing and Zhuge Jin will handle it, and your position is to treat every Karasuma soldier equally." Lone doesn't want tens of thousands of Karasuma troops to show signs of rebellion! ”

Suppression by force will always rebound, and only by attaching equal importance to rigidity and softness can we truly recover a tribe, integrate it into one's own body, and use it for one's own use.

It is a little bit to be strong, but it is also a little bit to give them enough respect, which is a matter of national integration.

"The last general understands!" Huang Zhong nodded heavily. He also knew the importance of this. After all, he now has tens of thousands of Karasuma people in his hands.

Karasuma's personal combat effectiveness is still above that of ordinary Wu soldiers, and as long as he is properly trained, he is enough to become his ace soldier.

"Great King, what if we occupy the territory of the annexed states first, and the Wei State suddenly turns around and grabs it? To fight or not to fight? Huang Zhong knew that Sun Quan didn't look like he was colliding with Wei now, so he hesitated.

"Huang Hansheng. You can ask this question too! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he glanced at him with a roll of his eyes, his voice was domineering and arrogant, and said, "I don't want to fight them, but if they want to fight." Naturally, you don't have to do any worries, just call back, and on the issue of merging states, I will give you a sentence: It's not Wu's, it's Wu's, it's Wu's, and no one can rob it, understand? ”

"The last general understands!"

Huang Zhong trembled, and his eyes burst out with a touch of hot anger.

Sun Quan's words are a bit like bandits and bullies, but this kind of temperament is put on national affairs, that is, domineering, thinking that there is some Sun Quan, who has the style of benevolent governance, can have such domineering, which is the blessing of Wu State.

――――――――――――――――――――――

The next day, early in the morning.

General Wu Guowei and Zhou Tai, the chief general of the South China Sea, appeared on the battle hall, but at this moment, the battle hall has already gathered the general Pan Feng, the captain Ju Yi, and the hussar general Zhao Yun and others.

"Zhou Tai, report to them the recent progress of the Southern Navy!"

Sun Quan, the king of Wu, put his hands behind his back, next to the sand table, looked at the rough terrain of the South China Sea, and his expression was hot.

"No!"

Zhou Tai stood beside Sun Quan, nodded, and then began to talk in detail about the recent progress of the Southern Navy.

People in the world think that the center of gravity of Wu has always been in Jingzhou and Youzhou, and it is inevitable that these two camps will compete for the main force in the world.

However, the upper echelons of Wu's military aircraft department and cabinet all understand that most of Wu's center of gravity is actually in the South China Sea.

"Our Southern Navy has established a naval base in Qiongya County, and then developed along the south side, intending to bypass the area of Zhennanfu, bypass this sea area, and see what is behind this!"

Zhou Tai pointed to the sand table and said: "Since the ironclad battleship went to sea, we have improved several grades in terms of speed and safety in terms of marching, and after several random bends here, the route here is considered to have cleared up a lot for our navy, and at present, on the other side of our sea, not far from the continent, we have found a prosperous empire!" ”

Under the guidance of a scribbled sketch drawn by Sun Quan, the Southern Navy, under the leadership of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, had penetrated the waters of what would become Malacca and entered the Bay of Bengal.

From Middle-earth, down to the South Seas, with the newly discovered Australia as the terminus, crossing westward, with the current naval capabilities, it is enough to do.

"Empire?"

When several generals in the battle heard this, they were suddenly surprised.

"Yes, an empire, and the initial detection, the scale is not small!"

Zhou Tai explained in detail along the terrain of the sand table: "General Gan Ning has personally led his troops across this sea area, and now he is sitting on this small island, which is a three-day sea route from this empire!" ”

The first step of the Wu army's westward expansion was met by the Kushan Empire, one of the four great empires of this era. (To be continued......)
