Chapter 267: New Deployment, Princely Hegemony
PS: Four thousand words, two in one!
The sun is setting in the west, and the cold wind is howling.
In Liu Xiu's big tent of the Chinese army, the new deployment was being discussed intensively
"Yuan Zhi (Yao Chongzi), Guangping (Song Jingzi), Ben Hou ordered the two of you to enter Shu immediately and help Lao Lizheng! It is today's two new masters of politics - Yao Chong and Song Jing, two of the biggest heroes in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, their political ability and meritorious deeds have been compared with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the prosperous era of Zhenguan, which shows that their abilities are extraordinary
Liu Xiu only asked them to assist in the cautious, but did not immediately seal the clear position, indeed with the continuous expansion of the territory, the system of rewards and punishments must also be constantly improved and implemented.
"Whoa! The two scribes were so highly used, but many people were surprised.
"The military and political affairs in Shuzhong, it is difficult for Yu Lao to take care of them, and there are Hanzhong problems that need to be solved, and there are several fierce generals in Hanzhong," Liu Xiu stood up, paced back and forth, and continued after a while: "En Shubao, Zaixing, Jing Si, Dalang, the four of you will also enter Shu immediately and help Yu Lao to take charge of the military!" ”
"After you enter Shu, you will let Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Qin Mi, Dong He, Liu Zhang and others go to Xiangyang, and say that they have meritorious service in dedicating the city, and this marquis wants to be in Xiangyang, and they will be rewarded one by one!"
"Whoa! …”
"At the same time, tell Yu Lao for me, that Hanzhong is the gateway to Bashu, and it cannot be stored in the hands of others, so after the beginning of spring, immediately send troops to conquer Hanzhong!" Liu Xiu continued: "I will let Nanyang send troops to help the old!" ”
"Whoa! …”
"As for the auxiliary machine, you will go to Xiangyang,"
"Xiangyang will soon gather people from Jingbei, Shuzhong, Nanyang and other places, you will work around for me, so that they have no time to take care of anything else!" Liu Xiu, however, wanted to lead all the clans to Xiangyang and other places, which he intended to use as a political center in the future, so naturally there would be no lack of attraction. And once many clans move their core forces to Xiangyang under orders and inducements, there will be emptiness in all places for him to use
"Yes, my lord! "The eldest grandson Wuji is confident, and the way of the court's power and strategy changes, among the people present, who is his opponent.
…
"The affairs of Hanzhong are responsible for the elderly, but they can be safe!" Liu Xiu suddenly walked to the [Dahan River and Mountain Map] in the tent, and his fingers passed one by one, and finally stopped in Jiangxia. frowned slightly, and said: "Now that Jiangxia has gathered the strongest tripartite forces of the Han Dynasty, although Zhou Yu's water blocked Cao Cao's footsteps, it did not cause much damage to Cao Cao's army..."
Liu Xiu didn't continue, just looked at the map, his mind divergent...
"What the lord said is exact," Liu Bowen sorted out all kinds of information in his mind and said: "According to the report a few days ago, Cao Cao divided two lines of soldiers and horses. 100,000 each, all the way to Xiangyang, but has been swept away by the governor of Yuedu; The other road passed through the north of the Lujiang River and was led by Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao family. Attack Shouchun, and, at this time, I'm afraid that Shouchun City has already been obtained..."
"In addition, Xuzhou has also started a two-sided campaign, and now Jiangxia only has Cao's army, less than 200,000!"
"The Sun clan only has 30,000 soldiers and horses here. It seems that the Sun brothers have other plans...! Liu Bowen continued to explain the intelligence, "Our army has 30,000 outside Xiyang City, and 30,000 in Anlu. 20,000 led by the seed family in Zhenshaxian (near Chibi), and tens of thousands of troops are distributed in Dongting Lake, Chaisang, Wuchang and other places..."
"Therefore, the lord does not need to worry about the number of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, as long as he pays attention not to let Zhou Yu benefit the fisherman...!" Liu Bowen said that he was worried, but he was worried about the Sun family...
"What Lord Liu said is very true, we formed an alliance with Sun and Liu Bei, and in the end, Liu Bei disappeared with thousands of soldiers and horses, and after Sun released Huangshui, he still did not send more troops and horses, but relied on the Yangtze River, constantly sticking to the southeast bank of Jiangxia," Liu Ye also agreed and analyzed: "It can be seen that Sun and Liu are just trying to get the benefits of fishermen!" …”
"That's right, and the number of people under the lord's rule may only be the same as Cao Cao's, but the city area is already the largest in the world, and the lord was in Xiangyang some time ago, and in the fighting array under Xiyang City, the people of the world have seen the number and strength of the generals under the lord's command, and the development time of the lord is extremely short..."
Liu Bowen listed the many performances of his lord one by one, and concluded: "So many events are superimposed one by one, Ji is worried that after the news of Bashu and Jingbei, the lord will be listed as the first prince in the world, if the Sun family and Liu Bei fight again, at that time, even if the lord's ministers are like clouds, and the generals are like rain, once the number of soldiers and horses, the ordnance and grain cannot keep up, and the three families of Cao, Sun, and Liu will not be able to resist the attack!" ”
"Lord, look," Liu Bowen said excitedly, got up and walked to the [Great Han River and Mountain Map], gestured with his fingers, and analyzed: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the princes all feel that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and has become the first prince in the world, and his strength is too strong, so the lord and the lord allied with them, in order to send troops in several ways and devour Cao Cao from Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and other places with them!" Even Liu Bei, who has no place to stay, is also constantly seeking Yongliang who everyone has no time to take care of! ”
"However, once the princes feel that the lord is the first prince's power, they will inevitably turn against each other instantly, and the Sun clan will send troops to seize Yuzhang and Huiji, which they have been eyeing for a long time, in the hope of winning Jiangdong and improving the defense line of the Yangtze River; Cao Cao will reunite his army and aim directly at Jingzhou, and Liu Bei will also give up Yongliang first, and instead attack Bashu, the country of abundance, as the foundation..."
"With such three parties, the lord may not be afraid of commanders and generals, but the number of soldiers and horses, as well as ordnance and grain and grass, will definitely not be able to keep up...!"
As soon as Liu Bowen's worries were spoken, everyone in the tent was shocked, and the attack on the city was what everyone wanted, but after the territory expanded, the problems faced were forgotten by everyone for a while
Liu Xiu's heart was also suddenly tightened, the original plan in his heart was to capture Hanzhong and Jiangxia first, and then turn the target to Guanzhong, completely in the way of Zhuge Liang's ideal of dividing the world in his previous life, to gradually seize the world
But the ideal is full, the reality is the backbone, he can indeed take more country step by step like this, but every time he takes a step forward and every time his power grows, his Liu Xiu's threat to others and others' jealousy of him will also deepen! …
Just like Cao Cao in the previous life, the 800,000 army marched south, but Liu Bei, who had no roots, and Sun Quan, who lived in peace, burned off the best opportunity to seize the world.
Although he, Liu Xiu, is confident that he will not become that Cao Cao, the hard conditions of the number of soldiers and horses, grain, grass and ordnance cannot be solved by him recruiting civil and military forces. All of these conditions must be accumulated over time in order to fully surpass the union of Cao, Sun, Liu and others!
If you insist on fighting hard with the rest of the people, you will only lose in the end, and you will only go through the path of the Three Kingdoms in your previous life - an old road from 50 million to 5 million...
This is not what he Liu Xiu wants! As for why...?!
I didn't see that after the Sima family got the broken country from the hands of Wei, Shu and Wu, it didn't take long for them to be chaotic... He Liu Xiu didn't want his family to be like this in the future
"Berwyn's words are really enlightening!" Liu Xiu's eyes widened, he seemed to remember the alien threat in the later generations, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's easy to fight the world, but it's difficult to defend the world!" ”
"The alien races in the north are eyeing each other, and Benhou can't be in a hurry. Benhou must work steadily step by step and lay a foundation for thousands of years! Liu Xiu sighed ambitiously, but then sighed again: "But now that I have the momentum of the first prince in the world, how can I prevent them from uniting against me?!" ”
Liu Xiu said, and looked at the scribes in the tent again, hoping to get an answer, however
"Show the enemy weak!"
A powerful voice sounded, and everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be a prime-aged general at the end of the generals. And this person is the new person who has arrived today - Li Sheng, the 'enemy of ten thousand people', a famous general who can be ranked among the best in the entire Tang Dynasty in later generations.
The seven newly recruited people, three generations of father and son, are huge. Among them, those who can be immediately activated are the eight people who are currently in this tent, in addition to the eldest grandson Sheng, the eldest grandson Wuji father and son, there are also the two prime ministers of Kaiyuan, Yao Chong, Song Jing, and the Taiping prime minister Wang Dan. and two generals - Wu Yunzhao, Li Bao, and finally the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Sheng.
"Liangqi (Li Shengzi)?!" Liu Xiu said in surprise, and then encouraged: "What the good weapon says shows that the enemy is weak. Can you be more detailed?! ”
"The last general thinks that the best way at present is to still push Cao Cao forward, and the lord will show weakness to the enemy!" Li Shengnai was born as a military general, and he spoke simply,
"Although the lord has now won Shuzhong and Jingbei, the territory is the broadest, but this is only temporary, although Cao Cao is now leading the troops south, but he is still eroding the four states of Hebei, if the Cao family all win Hebei, he will still be the first person among the princes,"
Li Sheng's words were extremely powerful and loud, "But the lord can't let Cao Cao develop and grow so safely, so the lord should show weakness to the enemy while growing,"
"In this way, we can not become the goal of everyone, but at the same time grow several bodies!"
"Isn't that going to be subservient for a while?!" Liu Xiu frowned slightly, he finally went from a white-eyed concubine to such a big country, and even now he is almost invincible, if he wants to show weakness at this time, how can he Liu Xiu be willing, but to win the first marquis in the world, and then be attacked by a group, it is not what he wants to see
"General Li Sheng's method is excellent, but it still needs to be changed!" Liu Bowen has followed Liu Xiu for more than ten years, and he knows very well what Liu Xiu is thinking at this time, so his mind turned, and he admonished: "Since it is a competition for the world, how can the lord blindly show the enemy as weak?!" ”
"Therefore, from Ji's point of view, it is better to show the enemy to be weak than to show the enemy to 'suffer', and the 'suffering' of internal and external troubles!"
"What's the explanation?!" Liu Xiu stared at Liu Bowen and asked.
"If the outside world knows that the lord is worried about internal and external troubles at this time, even if the lord has a vast territory, the people and disasters under his rule will make others feel that the lord is busy with other things, and he is no longer able to conquer the city, so he will not 'force Qin' and fight against each other!"
Liu Bowen explained: "As for the internal and external troubles, among which the external troubles, it is worth the battle between the north and the south of Jiangxia at this time!" Although there is no sign of internal worries at present, the lord can also 'create' internal worries by himself! …”
"And in addition to showing the enemy to 'suffer', the lord also needs to send someone to envoy to Soochow!"
There is no shortage of smart people in the tent, as soon as Liu Bowen's voice fell, Changsun Sheng got up and saluted, and said: "My subordinates are willing to send an envoy to Soochow for the Lord to probe the heart of the Sun family, and then consolidate the alliance!" ”
Diplomacy, this is the self-confidence of Changsun Sheng, he had been stationed in the Turks for more than a year in his previous life, and his archery skills were extraordinary, creating the legend of 'killing two birds with one stone', and then he was admired by the Turkic Khan at the same time, the strength and weakness of the Turkic tribes, the geography of the mountains and rivers and the strategic reality were clear, and later he put forward the policy of 'fighting against the Turks with razing', so that the Turks fought more than once, and they were unable to invade the Great Sui in the south.
Changsun Sheng, Commander: 75, Martial Arts: 75, Resourcefulness: 94, Politics: 88, Diplomacy: 98 (the previous data settings are a bit incomplete, this is modified).
"Ji Sheng?" Liu Xiu looked at it, it was the father of the eldest grandson Wuji, "Since Ji Sheng has this confidence, he really needs someone to contact and appease the Sun clan for our army, so as not to break the alliance!" ”
"Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Ji Sheng to be fully responsible! Benhou will send three hundred brocade guards to protect you! ”
"Thank you, Lord! It will live up to the expectations of the lord! As soon as the father and son arrived, Changsun Sheng and his son took over two major tasks, and their ability and resourcefulness were extraordinary, which made everyone look sideways.
…
"The Sun family needs to be appeased, this Jiangxia can also take advantage of this cold winter to make an appearance of internal and external troubles, paralyze the two armies at once, and provide time for the Lord to consolidate Jingshu!" Liu Bowen continued.
"Not bad! After I have consolidated Jingshu, recruited a large number of displaced people, and hoarded ordnance, grain and grass, why fear that they will fight against each other in an alliance?! Liu Xiu also nodded and said, "Do you have any good plans?!" ”
All the strategists glanced at each other, and on top of Fang Cai's advice, some of them didn't say anything, and they could only look at Liu Bowen and a few people at this time
"In Eberwin's opinion, this Jiangxia cannot be abandoned, but to make a sign of 'internal and external troubles', the lord must return to Xiangyang!"
"Return to Xiangyang?! Why?! Liu Xiu asked puzzled.
“… That's the case..."Liu Bowen explained with a smile.
"Good! Liu Xiu said excitedly: "In this way, this Jiangxia war will be handed over to Youdu!" Luo Yi, Luo Cheng, Qilang, Li Cunxiao, Wu Yunzhao, Wei Yan, Liu Ye, Liu Ba, Er and several others stayed to help each other! I'll leave Yanyun Iron Rider behind! …”
"Whoa! …”
…
A few days later, when it snowed heavily, the situation in Jiangxia changed suddenly: first, the cavalry of the Chu army attacked the 100,000 Cao camp at night, and then retreated to Anlu, while Liu Xiu suddenly led two Shura guards and rushed back to Xiangyang
At the same time, the news of Xiangyang also reached the hands of the princes: the Nanyang clan united the clan to make a rebellion! The remnants of the Cai family and the Kuai family in Nanjun gathered to spread rumors, and even the thieves in Shuzhong and many clans also raised troops at the same time, intending to rebel! …
A series of news made Cao Ying, who was shrouded in clouds, and Wu Jun smile instantly (to be continued.) )
