Wei, Qi, and Yan, the three families are in the Bohai Sea, and from time to time they "roll" on the face of the Chu State, and the Chu State will naturally not be unaware.

It's just that for the state of Chu, the later the war starts, the better, especially since the six years of the Chu calendar are about to pass, but Gan Ning has not yet returned, and there is no news coming back, so the morale of the Chu navy is not high-pitched.

Under mutual scruples, there was the current scene - Wei did not admit that Haikou had anything to do with him, Yan Hou did not admit that he was instructed to seize minerals, and the princes of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty did not really send troops, but were more "pretentious".

And the state of Chu ...... Since you don't admit it, I will not hammer you first, and make a card on an important transaction, and let out your anger in Shuhou, so as not to let the people be too aggrieved, and maintain the "personality" of Qiangchu.

During the Liaodong New Year's Festival, Gongsun Kang was also in the Yanhou Mansion, feasting the ministers - the "New Year" of the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not so popular, but from Yangzhou to the original general's mansion under the drive, began to "celebrate the New Year", to repeatedly on the first day of the first month, all the princes had major events "Xian Envoy Knowledge", so that the "New Year" in the people, but also more and more ritualistic.

Although in addition to the Chu State, most of the people under the rule of other princes have no surplus grain, but after all, there is Chu as the "engine", and after the recovery of the commodity economy, a large amount of grain has also been exported from the Chu State, which has alleviated the needs of other princes, so that the life of the people under his rule will not be too miserable.

Maybe you can't make a big fish and big meat, but you can still do it with a small meat dish in the New Year, and buy a few taels of meat filling.

"Although the 'Chu Studies' of the Chu State have a lot of biases in terms of moral governance, there is indeed something commendable in pragmatic production......" Liu Yi looked at the somewhat lively streets of Xiangping, as if talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Liang Mao beside him.

At this time, Yan Hou's banquet had already dispersed, and when he went out, Liu Yi specially pulled Liang Mao, did not let him get into the carriage, but walked with him, and even asked the servants and guards to take a few steps back, and walked in front with a lantern by himself.

Regardless of whether Liu Yi asked himself or not, Liang Mao only thought he was talking to himself anyway, and he didn't answer.

"Bo Fang's two sons are in Jinling University, right?" Liu Yi asked after a moment of silence.

"There is also a daughter who is also studying in the state of Chu." Liang Mao indirectly should be under and supplemented.

Liu Yi was choked for a moment, and then said with emotion: "It seems that ...... Bo Fang likes Chu Xue very much. ”

Indeed, Liang Mao deliberately mentioned that the daughter who was subconsciously ignored by Liu Yi obviously wanted to remind something, that is, an indirect refutation, Liu Yi had just criticized Chu Xue.

"But this time, Bo Fang actually admonished the lord and attacked Qiang Chu together with King Wei and Qi Hou, which is really a bit unexpected by the younger brother, is Brother Bo Fang willing to solve the doubts?" Liu Yi didn't stop as he spoke, as if he was really just chatting.

"First of all, there is no strong admonition, and secondly, I just said something that you didn't notice." Liang Mao's words were concise and to the point, as if he wanted to say that the decision to attack the Chu State together had nothing to do with him.

And...... I, Liangmao, am not from the Chu camp, don't talk nonsense!

However, these words obviously did not satisfy Liu Yi.

Liu Yi gradually slowed down, and finally stood next to the alley not far from his house, and the guards behind him also tacitly stayed twenty steps away at this time, and Liang Mao's entourage ...... Naturally, they did not dare to overstep.

Unlike Liu Yi, Liang Mao has no power in Xiangping, and there are no guards in the mansion, only some ordinary servants.

"With Brother Bofang's talent, if he is really dedicated to making suggestions for the lord, the younger brother can guarantee peace and let the lord and Brother Bofang get rid of their previous suspicions, and Brother Bofang will also do a lot in Yan Country in the future." Liu Yi turned his head and said to Liang Mao seriously.

Liang Mao still looked at the front, and said with an unmoved expression: "Lord Liu said that he laughed, Yanhou is sitting in Youzhou, and I am already his subordinate, what is the suspicion?" Or rather...... Lord Liu thinks, when did someone frame or mislead someone with bad intentions? Speaking of the back, Liang Mao turned his head to look at Liu Yi.

When Liu Yi heard this, his face softened again, and he even said kindly: "I don't have this intention, Bo Fang is too careful." ”

"Lady Yanagi is home." Ryomao reminded.

"Well, if you are free in the future, let's bother Brother Bofang to talk to the mansion." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he took people home.

Liang Mao was finally able to get in the car and ease down......

In this place of Xiangping, it was still very cold during the New Year, and now there are no cotton clothes.

Liu Yi didn't mention much about Liang Mao's two sons and one daughter, after all, nominally they went to Chu to study seriously - among the people, this was not forbidden, or even encouraged.

Yan Guo also sent some young students to study, including one of Liu Yi's concubines.

Although Wei Qiyan has three secret alliances, it is still only a stage of gradually clearing the influence of Chu in the Bohai Sea and continuing to expand its strength.

If there really is a war, at least at the end of this year, or even next year!

With the climate of the Bohai Sea, if the war starts at the end of the year, it will definitely be based on land warfare to clean up the ports of Chu.

After all, in terms of the weather every year at this time, the only ice-free port in the north is the Liaodong Port established by the Chu State in the location of the original Lujin in Liaodong.

Only the port of Liaodong can still enter and exit large warships in the middle of winter without being affected.

This is also the key to Chu's ability to dominate the Bohai Sea!

Fighting in winter is not a cost-effective thing in itself, but if it is just to clean up the ports of Chu, it can be "worked hard......

After all, the state of Chu is around the Bohai Sea, and these hated ports are all under the noses of Wei Qiyan and the three families, but for the state of Chu, it is an enclave, and there is no "transportation cost" for each family, which also solves the problem of making the winter war bigger.

At most, it was only a month or two when it was too cold to hold the weapon, and it was definitely impossible to launch an offensive.

And if you want to talk about the impact of the weather on combat effectiveness, the army of Chu is very cold-resistant......

Even if the Chu State has done special training for this, and tried to use the migrating northerners as a separate source of military training, it did play a somewhat compensatory role, but ...... The Chu army's land combat capability in the cold season in the north is definitely one of its biggest shortcomings!

If in winter, the land battle for the port, for the three families, it should be regarded as the right time and place.

As for the middle of the year, directly compete with the Chu State for the Bohai Sea?

Not to mention whether you can win or not, at least ...... It would be more advantageous to take out a few ports around the Bohai Sea in Chu first, right?

And you must know that in the trade with the Chu State, they are also painful and happy - while being taken advantage of by the Chu State, there are also a lot of Chu goods, which they desire, not to mention the Chu State University......

It's still just a "contradiction" now, if you really really distinguish between the enemy and us, even if the Chu State respects its identity and will not be poisoned, it will definitely expel the students they sent.

You must know that judging from the returns of these students, they have important gains in Jinling at all times.

Of course, in terms of Chu State University, each also has alternative plans.

Although the later the better, it will not be completely "kidnapped" by this matter and dare not go to war.

Like what...... The latter is mixed with folk students, unless Chu is completely based on the "territoriality" as the criterion, otherwise only those students with the title of official representative will be expelled, and there will be some "fish that slip through the net".

And if the real Chu State takes the territory as the criterion, such as "all students from the Wei State will be expelled at the first rate", then it will also be a blow to the prestige of the Chu State, after all, many students who spontaneously go to the Chu State are really recognized and worshiped by the Chu State and Chu Studies.

If these people are also expelled, it is actually the Chu State that is expelling its own potential talents, and if the Chu State expels those children of the scholars who are from poor families or are not discharged by the princes, it will definitely lose some of the hearts of the people.

There is even this case of Youzhou Liangmao......

You can't expel the others, but leave the children of the scholar clan like Liang Mao, who secretly "cooperated" with the Chu State, right?

Then it's not secret!

Therefore, the judgment of Wei, Qi, and Yan is that the Chu State expelled the part sent by the government, and also increased the scrutiny of non-governmental students and isolated the core disciplines, rather than one size fits all.

After all, Chu's popularity in the "enemy country" is also one of Chu's greatest advantages......

At this time in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Liu Bei, who was not announced to Chang'an this year, was also discussing with a young man with a lupine scarf...... Or it is to sigh about the affairs of the Chu State.

It is more obvious than Xiangping, and on the towering tower of Pengcheng, you can see the liveliness of the streets this year.

After all, if "conditions permit", Liu Bei is unwilling to treat the people too harshly.

Looking at this scene, Liu Bei was a little ashamed in his heart, after all, he knew in his heart that the "grand scene" in front of him was not created by him, but only borrowed the light of the white map.

"The lord is sighing about the state of Chu?" Youngster...... It was Zhuge Liang, who was missing Bai Tu, who asked with a feather fan at this time.

Although it was for Zhuge Liang that Liu Bei specially built a stove, but he should shake the feather fan, or shake it!

"Yes, I think I had a very happy conversation with Bai Gong at the beginning, and now the well-being of Hermes-Epitek is also due to Bai Gong, but no, no." Liu Bei said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Since the lord has this heart, instead of sighing, it is better to be ready, and after the world is unified, make nine points, ten points, or even more, in order to serve the world." Zhuge Liang said on the side, half enlightened and half encouraged.

Zhuge Liang recognized the technology of Chu State, and for Bai Tu himself, Zhuge Liang also had at least seven points of respect, and the other three points were not feelings of contempt or the like, but simply disagreed.

Mainly for Chu Xue...... Zhuge Liang felt that it was necessary to be dialectical, and it was necessary to look at it critically!

Whether it is Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, they never thought that they could kill Bai Tu directly, but wanted to do their best to bring the world back to the main theme - the orthodox main theme of the Han Dynasty.

On this basis, it is also their expectation and vision to create more well-being.

For them, what they have to do now is more like a few cuts in the former Han Dynasty......

Liu Bei didn't go much deeper into this exclamation, after all, he is also a hero now, and he is not a person who easily loses his goal and needs to be explained by others, but instead asked: "The state of Chu has shown 'modesty' in all kinds of disputes in the Bohai Sea, against the Wei State and the Yan State, and even some of the actions of the second brother, and the Bohai Sea has a war...... Really can't avoid it? ”

"If you only take back a few ports, as long as you give the Chu State enough 'steps' and deterrence, you may be able to postpone entering a state of full-scale war, but at most it will only be suspended. And in any case, the goal of us and the King of Wei is not just a few ports......"
