Chapter 358: In the Spring of the Sixth Year, Chu Zi Plotted to Attack Me (1)
Jiaodong Linglong Gold Mine, this month to produce 300 taels of gold, is expected to produce 1,000 taels of gold per month. There are still many gold mines in Donglai County that have not yet been discovered, and if they can produce 10,000 taels of gold per month, they can raise tens of thousands of elite soldiers. ”
"The merchant ships going to Dongying are already ready in Qu County, and there are 134 merchant ships this time. Mi Zhu, the captain of Dongdu, will go to Dongying again to preside over trade. The power of Hei Yoshimori, the lord of Hirado, was still there, and during this time he sent 80 ships to trade in Qu County, Xuzhou. ”
"Qu County and Xihai County are planned according to the ports mentioned by the lord, and there are six-level shipyards and six-level docks in Qu County, ......
"In accordance with the instructions of the lord, in addition, Penglai Port was built in the area of Huangxian County, the seat of Donglai County, and Weihaiwei was set up to conduct multilateral trade with Liaodong, Goryeo, and Dongying."
"Salt pans are widely distributed in various ports, and the annual salt production can meet the needs of tens of millions of people. All sea salt is monopolized by the government, and the price is controlled, and the price of each catty of sea salt is increased by ten copper coins, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver can be obtained. ”
……
After Sang Hongyang became Minister of Economy, he reported to Chutian on matters related to the economic development of the territory.
Sang Hong Yang presided over the macro economy, Mi Zhu presided over foreign trade, and the two cooperated with each other to reduce the burden of cool summer.
Now Xia Liang is taking care of the children wholeheartedly, only occasionally providing advice, and not taking care of the economy himself.
"Let Mi Zhu keep a close eye on the situation in Dongying and win over the samurai and merchant classes on Kyushu Island. As for the peasants of Dongying, it is enough to exploit them. ”
Chutian deployed Prince Yan in Monan, and at the same time ordered Mi Zhu to pay attention to the situation in Dongying and lay out the Quartet. In the future, if the Eastern Han Dynasty is unified, it will definitely attack everywhere and sweep in all directions.
Lay out the chess pieces in advance, and it will be much easier later.
"The administrative office of Jiujiang County has been transferred from Yinling County to Shouchun City, and Shouchun City has become the center of Huainan. His subordinates newly opened up 300,000 acres of fertile land, appeased the exiled people, and recruited more than 20,000 bandits. The Shouchun Defensive Corps and the Hefei Defensive Corps have been formed, repairing the walls of Shouchun City and Hefei City, and building fortifications......"
Liu Fu, the Taishou of Jiujiang, came to Xiacheng and reported to Chutian about the governance of Huainan.
Huainan is an extremely important territory, the unknown Taishou Liu Fu took care of Huainan for Chutian, implemented tunnong in Huainan, appeased the people, recruited thieves, and turned Huainan into a granary.
Hefei was guarded by Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan, resisting the infiltration of the forces of the Tongque in Lujiang to Huainan.
"Have you planted scouts in Lujiang County? What about the threat from Lujiang? ”
"A hundred scouts have been dispatched and placed in Shu County, Anhui County and other places, as long as there is a large-scale movement of troops and horses in Lujiang, they can be immediately detected and notified to Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan generals to defend. Lujiang Taishou led the main force, called the Beifu Army, and attacked Wu County on a large scale, and Yan Baihu of Wu County and the local alien lords were defeated, of which Yan Baihu was captured and killed by the Beifu Army. If Tongque gets Huiji County again, it is very likely that he will peek into Huainan. ”
"There is also a possibility that he will go to Jingzhou. Intensify the penetration of Jiangnan. ”
Chu Tian had to guard against Tongque's Beifu army.
The Beifu army is strong, conquering Danyang County and Wu County one after another, and then annexing Huiji County and Yuzhang County, Tongque will have Jiangnan, Minnan, Jiangxi and other places, and become the great princes of Jiangdong.
Although Tongque has always hung the title of Lujiang Taishou, he is actually an out-and-out Yangzhou pastor, and there are few princes in Jiangdong who are his opponents.
If the direction of Tongque's expansion changes to Huainan, it means that Chutian will have to divide half of his forces to confront it.
Chu Tian would rather he go to Jingzhou than fight the Beifu army in Huainan so quickly.
"This year, Guangling County has opened up 500,000 acres of fertile land, built 13 dams, and opened more than 100 miles of canals, focusing on flood control. Huaishui is the foundation of Guangling, but every year in the rainy season, Huaishui is in trouble, destroying farmland and houses, so it is important to build water conservancy and persuade agriculture to do so. ”
Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling County, also came back to report his political achievements.
Both Guangling and Jiujiang were actually part of the Huainan region, and they formed the Yangtze River defense line to block the lords from south of the Yangtze River.
"Pengcheng country is a flat river, millions of acres of fertile land, the damage caused by the locust plague last year has basically subsided, and there will be a harvest this year."
Peng Guoxiang Wang Lang came from Pengcheng to report.
The Taishou from all over the country had to come to Langya every once in a while to report what they had done, which was a part of the centralization of power, and at the same time subject to supervision.
After listening to everyone's report, Chu Tian commented slightly, and then asked the local Taishou to return to his own place.
The civil servants who can serve as Taishou are basically above 80 in their political attributes, and they are all big men with heads and faces, and none of them are incompetent. The only thing that Chu Tian needed to consider was the relationship between the families and their loyalty.
There is no shortage of Wenchen in Xuzhou, and these Wenchen make Chutian have no worries, and Chutian can rest assured to deal with Cao Cao.
After the battle of Xiaopei, Chu Tian rested for two months, and the injuries of Joan of Arc, Zhao Yun, Gongsun Ao and others basically healed.
Joan of Arc's servant corps was used as cannon fodder by Chu Tian and was exhausted, so Chu Tian simply arranged for her to serve in the Fifth School of the Northern Army.
In this way, Chu Tian was looking forward to the third national war.
The Legion of Servants is blessed with the fanatical faith of Joan of Arc and is very useful. The servant regiment received only half of the military salary, and there was no need to pay a pension for the death of the war, and the cost of war was extremely low.
It's a pity that Chu Tian can only capture foreign soldiers from the war to serve himself. Unless he can occupy the regions of other civilizations, he will be able to recruit a steady stream of servants.
At present, Joan of Arc's servant legion cannot be replenished in time, so it can only wait until the national war.
Chutian began to send troops to the Yanzhou battlefield, wanting to completely eliminate Cao Cao who was entrenched in Dongjun and annihilate the first hero of the Three Kingdoms.
In the summer, Liang saw that Chu Tian had not been back for a long time, and he was going to go on an expedition again, so before Chu Tian left Langya Kingdom, he squeezed Chu Tian well, and then let Chu Tian go.
……
In the east of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's forces reached the most dangerous moment, and all the civil and military generals under Cao Cao knew that Xuzhou Mu planned to conquer Yanzhou in person, as if facing a great enemy.
Everywhere Xuzhou Mu went, he was invincible, and this time, Chutian finally wanted to use the main generals to deal with Cao Cao.
"You must defeat Pang Juan before Chu Zimou arrives!"
"In the past five years, we have fought in the south and the north to have today's land, how can we give it to others!"
Cao Cao still wanted to resist Chu Zimou's oppression and swore an oath in Puyang City.
Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and other generals trapped in Puyang wept and wept, they finally had their current territory, but they were always suppressed by Chu Zimou, and even Yanzhou could not be unified.
Now Cao Cao's forces are only left with Dongjun and Chen Liu. lost Dongjun, only Chenliu County, Cao Cao is equivalent to a Taishou.
"Get out of the city and fight Pang Juan to the death! Only by working together can we turn defeat into victory! ”
Cao Cao made a tragic speech and led the generals and 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to fight against the battle.
The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return.
Cao Cao felt that he was like a tragic hero, and at the beginning, all the strangers in Dongjun supported him, and the development momentum of Cao Cao's power was extremely good, and it had the potential to sweep the entire Yanzhou. Until Cao Cao met that man, the development of Cao Cao's power stagnated, and the territory became smaller and smaller, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the past.
Cao Cao has been forced into a corner by Chu Zimou, and he must fight hard.
At night, Cao Cao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight to the death against Pang Juan, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong, who surrounded Puyang City, and the shouts of killing alarmed all the civilians in Puyang City!
Pang Juan's forces are in an advantageous position, but Cao Cao himself is a commander, and there are generals who fight to the death, but suppress Pang Juan!
Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard to ride back and forth in Pang Juan's army, fighting bravely, he was really unwilling to hand over the territory laid by Cao Cao to Xuzhou Mu like this!
The stray arrow hit Cao Chun's armor, and Cao Chun didn't know it, and the spear pierced Wei Wushu's shield and nailed one Wei Wushu to the ground! He pulled out the saber at his waist and rammed through Pang Juan's army with his heavy armor!
"The enemy army has the will to fight to the death, and it cannot be clashed with it!"
Guo Jia heard from Cao Jun's shouting and killing that Cao Jun had the belief to fight against the water, so he persuaded Pang Juan, Xu Rong and others to retreat.
Cao Cao shrank all his forces, and it was time for life and death again, and his soldiers were united, and it was not Pang Juan who could deal with it.
Cao Cao's aura blessed the generals of Cao Wei, and all the soldiers fought bravely, and Li Ling, the new bow general under Cao Cao's command, shot twenty arrows in a row, killing seventeen enemies, and all of them fell down!
"Get out of the way!"
Pang Juan listened to the advice of the military advisor Guo Jia and personally led Wei Wu to the palace. Guo Jia was obviously perceptive, and when Guo Jia realized that the situation was unfavorable to his army, he proposed to withdraw his troops to avoid the annihilation of Pang Juan's army.
As one of the top commanders of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao made up his mind to fight hard, fight with the generals, and break the Pang Juan army!
Because Guo Jia proposed to withdraw the army in time, Pang Juan's army avoided heavy losses and retreated smoothly.
In the battle, Cao's army only lost 3,000 people and killed and wounded more than 10,000 people. Xu Rong was unable to use flexible tactics such as sneak attacks under Puyang City, so he could only fight Cao Cao head-on, and was defeated by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao made up his mind to fight, and the soldiers were determined to fight to the death, bursting out with strong combat effectiveness and expelling Pang Juan from Dongjun, with great momentum!
Not only that, Cao Cao regained his confidence and pursued Pang Juan one after another!
"Cao Cao can still be so tenacious, he deserves to be the first hero of the Three Kingdoms."
Gongziwen has been at war with Cao Cao for a long time, and he is very familiar with Cao Cao and knows Cao Cao's ability. Cao Cao is different from Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu has ten counties, he was still beaten by Chu Tian in Pengcheng and betrayed by his own subordinates.
But even if Cao Cao only has two counties, there is still a possibility of turning the tables!
Unless Cao Cao is completely convinced, Cao Cao will give up resistance!
Cao Cao turned the tables in adversity in Dongjun, Guo Jia's opponent was Xun You, who was much older than him, and he could only do his best to protect Pang Juan's army and set up suspicious soldiers.
Gongziwen and Cao Cao are in a tug-of-war, losing more and winning less, but he can disgust Cao Cao for two years, and he doesn't care about failure once.
Gongziwen retreated to Dingtao and waited for the arrival of Chutian's main army.
"The Cao thief is really difficult to deal with, all because of the support of the Xun family."
Guo Jia still called Cao Cao a thief, believing that Cao Cao had the support of Xun You and Xun Yu, so he could defeat Pang Juan's army.
Guo Jia's consideration is basically not biased.
If Cao Cao did not have the support of Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, he might have been annihilated in this offensive long ago, how could he organize a counterattack.
After Cao Cao defeated Pang Juan, he went to attack Le Yi non-stop, wanting to imitate Chu Tian and use the tactics of breaking down one by one.
When Le Yi heard that Pang Juan's army had failed, he gave up attacking Dong'e County and retreated to Jibei. He also waited for Chu Tian to send a large army to attack Cao Cao.
At present, Cao Cao has three important cities in his hands, Puyang City, which is held by Xun Yu, followed by Juancheng, which is held by Xiahoudun, and then Dong'e County, which is held by Cao Ren and Manzhong.
Cao Cao's counterattack was so swift that even Le Yi had to avoid its edge for the time being.
For a time, Cao Cao's counterattack caused quite a stir, and few people could achieve such results under Chu Zimou's offensive. Cao Cao defeated Pang Juan's army, forced back the Le Yi army, which had only one main general, and shocked the south of the Yellow River!
"If Cao Cao's power can develop, he can undoubtedly become a powerful prince, but why does he want to develop in Yanzhou, it just happens to be by Chu Zimou's side. Chu Zimou only swung the butcher's knife at Cao Cao now, and Cao Cao had been jumping up and down for too long. Fortunately, I didn't make enemies of Chu Zi. ”
Gongziwen returned to Dingtao, although he failed to eliminate Cao Cao this time, and suffered a small loss under the hard work of Cao Cao's people, but it was not a big problem. Cao Cao won, but the troops were still partially lost.
"General Wei Qing has arrived!"
During the period of Chutian's recuperation, Wei Qing commanded the five schools of the Northern Army, the servant corps, the reconnaissance corps and other main forces to Dingtao.
"Wei Qing ......"
When Gongziwen heard the name of this commander, his head went blank.
Wei Qing, one of the twin walls of the Han Empire, was actually under the command of Chu Zimou!
However, if you take into account that Chu Tian participated in the Battle of Mobei, as the first place, it seems that it is not too much to get a Wei Qing.
"Lord, Xuzhou is here!"
The sergeant in charge of guarding the teleportation array urgently came to report to Gongziwen.
"He's finally here!"
After Gongziwen was defeated by Cao Cao again, he heard that Chu Tian had finally come in person, so he led Pang Juan to meet him.
"Gongziwen, I heard that you lost to Cao Cao."
Chutian led Zhao Yun, Joan of Arc, Li Xiuning, Gongsun Ao, Tai Shici and other military generals to come, and the quality of the generals was so high that Gongzi Wen was eye-catching.
Gongziwen explained for himself: "Cao Mengde may be a king-level or royal-level commander, and with Xun You as the mastermind, it is normal to lose to him......"
"From now on, your legion will be under my command, Pang Juan will be loyal to me, and you will still serve as the Taishou of Jiyin County."
Chutian officially took over Gongziwen's power and annexed the two counties owned by Gongziwen - Jiyin County and Shanyang County.
"The last general, Pang Juan, is willing to serve the lord!"
At Gongziwen's indication, he canceled his allegiance to Gongziwen and officially allegiance to Chutian.
Pang Juan is not a first-class commander, but he has elite Wei Wushu heavy infantry.
"According to my deployment, attack Cao Cao with all my might!"
In the sixth year of the lord's calendar, Cao Cao's book recorded: In the spring of the sixth year, Mu Chuzi of Xuzhou plotted to attack me, and the generals fought ......
