"The last general will meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Came to the palace, Zhou Bofu found that he was not the only one, Luo Shiji, Shi Huaiyi and Xu Guang had already arrived, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, compared to Xu Guang's qualifications and Luo Shiji's experience in leading an army to resist Yuan Zhang very early, he did not have much advantage, maybe only stationed in Shannan Dongdao for a long time, and had a deeper understanding of mountain warfare and Shuzhong, but this does not guarantee that he will get the position of this coach.

"General Zhou just entered the city today, and he came to me before he returned home, and he is not afraid of being blamed by his family?" Li You joked, he remembered how powerful Mrs. Zhou was back then, and when Zhou Bofu went back, he might have to kneel ants again, so he asked the eunuch to bring Zhou Bofu a large chair for him to sit down.

"I heard that His Majesty summoned the last general to return to Beijing, and the last general thought that he was probably going to do something to Shuzhong, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed to the capital day and night." Zhou Bofu couldn't find a war horse that could move him on this body, so he either took the waterway or took a carriage, if it wasn't for the fact that the avenue had been repaired to Shannan East Road now, he wouldn't have rushed back so quickly.

"Well, I temporarily let go of the king of Shu because of the lack of money and food, but if I have recovered my vitality today, Hedong Dao, Shannan Dongdao and Guannei Dao not only do not need the support of the imperial court, but also supply a large amount of taxed grain and grass for the imperial court, so it is time to include Shuzhong under the rule of our dynasty!" Li You nodded and said, "The purpose of summoning all the generals back this time is to discuss the plan for sending troops and the selection of generals, and tomorrow you will all go to the General Staff with me to discuss strategies!" ”

The new dynasty naturally does not allow such an institution as the Taiwei Mansion to distribute military power to others, so the General Staff has become the highest body for formulating major military strategies, which has long made a detailed sand table for the entire Shuzhong, and the news fed back through various channels such as the Black Ice Platform has been gradually improved, and now it can basically be said that the General Staff understands Shuzhong much more clearly than the King of Shu and Su Zican and others, and both the deployment of troops and the city defense situation are displayed on the sand table.

But these are not as intuitive as Zhou Bofu's words after all, so in the next period of time, Li You, Xu Guang, Luo Shiji and others kept asking Zhou Bofu about his evaluation of Shuzhong's military capabilities, hoping to obtain more information to help them make the right decisions.

"After ceding Shannan East Road, Luo Zhaoyuan returned to Yizhou Mansion, Zhao Xuanzhe went to Qianzhong Road, and the soldiers and horses under his command were also scattered elsewhere, and the people stationed in Shannan East Road and entered the key place of Shannan West Road was a clansman of Su Zican, this person's ability was much worse than Luo Zhaoyuan, and the soldiers and horses under his command were even more unbearable, and the last general only needed 30,000 horses to break through the natural danger of Shu Road and enter the Shuzhong Plain." Speaking of the other party's combat effectiveness, Zhou Bofu was quite disdainful.

But also, after Arubu invaded the capital and the kings rose together, the king of Qi, the king of Yue and even Xu Shiyong and other generations had the idea and action of expanding outward, but the king of Shu was willing to retreat in Shu to enjoy wealth and wealth, even if he sent Luo Zhaoyuan to spy on Gyeonggi Province, he was unwilling to take any risks, and he had not seen an inch of success for several years, how powerful an army could such a force have?

What's more, they have now recalled Luo Zhaoyuan, the only one in Shu who has some combat experience and knows a little about military affairs, back to Yizhou and hung up, but instead sent a waste guard to the important place, Zhou Bofu naturally will not take it seriously.

"Well, I also thought that it was not very difficult to capture Shuzhong, the reason why it was difficult to break through in the previous books was because of the complex terrain and difficult roads in Shuzhong, but because of the miasma, but now there are more than 100,000 long-trained mountain soldiers in my Jiazhou army, and they are not constrained to walk on the ground, and the army is also equipped with enough military doctors, and has already come up with a complete plan to solve the miasma, but the king of Shu and Su Zican still want to enjoy peace with these two, I am afraid it is wishful thinking." Li You sneered, but the problem in Shu is not only the King of Shu and Su Zican, "But the subjugation of the King of Shu and Su Zican and others does not mean that they completely control the remaining three places in Shu now, and those remote Tusi must not be guarded against." ”

The so-called "restraint" is to control them with military and political pressure, and the "restraint" is to comfort them with economic and material interests, that is, to set up special administrative units in remote areas, maintain or basically maintain the original social organization and management institutions of those Tusi tribes, recognize the political dominance of their Tusi and tribal leaders in their own territory, and appoint Tusi and chiefs as local officials, in addition to being politically subordinate to the Great Wei and having the obligation of paying tribute economically. All other affairs are managed by Tusi himself, which is also the consistent policy of the Central Plains towards these remote areas.

This policy has reduced the military expenditure of the imperial court to a certain extent, saving a lot of financial and material resources, but it has also greatly reduced the control of the imperial court over these places, if the national strength is strong, it is better, once the military power of the Central Plains declines, the Tusi of these fetters will expand, occupy the states and counties that were originally under the direct control of the Central Plains, like the late Ming Dynasty in the southwest Tusi extravagant Chongming, An Bangyan launched a rebellion, so that the Ming Dynasty, which was already in the wind and rain, was hit hard, and finally fell under the attack of Li Zicheng and the Qing soldiers.

And since the king of Shu became emperor, because they had to guard against the attack of the rest of the forces, they transferred most of their troops to the border, and the deterrence of these toasts was reduced again, so these ambitious guys began to be restless again, and repeatedly attacked the states and counties to plunder the wealth and population.

The king of Shu is not capable of solving these problems, but it does not mean that Li You will endure them, "Therefore, this battle is not only to subdue the king of Shu and his courtiers, but also to solve all those Tusi who live up to the kingship of the court, establish prefectures and counties in these places, appoint liuguan, and never let them continue to serve as people outside the law." ”

"If they are willing to listen to the teachings of the court and act according to the laws of the court, then the court will help them to come out of the mountains and build their homes; If it is stubbornly resistant, the imperial army will not tolerate it. "Previously, the Great Wei adopted a policy of restraint on these Tusi because they did not see the value of these territories and the lack of strength, but the Jia Dynasty was different, those barren and useless lands in the hands of the Tusi would bring great wealth to the imperial court as long as they were developed, and their strong army was enough to deal with any opposition.

"This matter has been implemented in Lingnan Road for many years, so when this time to capture Shuzhong, Jiang Suiyun will follow the army." Jiang Suiyun, who was previously in charge of Lingnan Province, has extensive experience in this area.
