Chapter 437: The Strife of the Seven Kingdoms
"Now the thirteen provinces of the Central Plains, most of the officials in the three provinces of Jiangnan West Road, Huainan Road, and Lingnan Road have expressed their submission to King Fu, and regard King Fu as the orthodoxy of the Great Wei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" In the hall, Sima Coo explained to a map covering the entire Great Wei and the surrounding neighbors, "And the King of Qi occupies Henan Province, Duji Province, and Shannan East Road, and many other families such as the Qinghe Cui Clan, the Boling Cui Clan, and the Langya Wang Clan support the King of Qi to ascend the throne, and now they are planning to combine the regimental training of each family into one place, wanting to capture the capital before we wait and take charge of the Great Unification; And Shannan West Road, Jiannan Road, Qianzhong Road is under the command of the King of Shu, and Su Zican, the prefect of Yizhou, serves as the prime minister. ”
When it comes to the Langya Wang family, Wang Ji's face did not show any abnormality, calmly facing everyone's suspicious eyes, now he can be said to have completely separated himself from the Wang family, if he meets the children of the Wang family on the battlefield in the future, he will not show mercy to his subordinates, and the other party will not, although the same room is cruel, but this is the only way for the family to maintain the inheritance, and the sadness is only they can understand.
Then the bamboo branch in Sima Cuo's hand pointed to the north, "The northern captives supported the establishment of Chengtianfu Yin Xu Shiyong to ascend the throne in the capital, with 'Chu' as the national name, Yang Deming as the prime minister, and Yeluhan was in charge of the army, controlling the capital, Gyeonggi Province and Hedong Province; The northern captives retreated to Longcheng to control the Guannai Road, and it is said that Arubu also had plans to ascend the throne and claim the emperor. ”
"And Jiangnan Dongdao supported the king of Yue to ascend the throne, Jiangnan Dongdao is located in a prosperous area, developed maritime trade, created many giant businessmen, these people are not willing to live in the family for a long time, under the nobles, and now they also want to get a background from the troubled times." Sima Coo moved the bamboo branch to the island to the east, "These giant merchants have countless ships and ships, and they have many collusions with the islands in the east, so they should not be underestimated. I heard that the king of Yue recently wanted to conclude an alliance with the king of Daoyi, and borrowed troops from his men to help the king of Yue seize the world. ”
"King Yue's move is to lure wolves into the house, Daoyi is cruel by nature, if they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, the people of Jiangnan Dongdao are afraid to suffer." Qian Sa, who was also on the coast, knew a lot about Daoyi, and immediately angrily reprimanded King Yue, "But if you want to fight with King Yue, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on infantry cavalry, only by defeating King Yue's fleet at sea can their ambitions be completely dispelled, otherwise, even if they fail miserably on land, it will be a big trouble for these people to flee overseas by boat and constantly harass the coastal states and counties." ”
Huainan Province is located in the north of Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road is in its west, Lingnan Road is in its south, and the sea is in the east.
"Sailors have begun to take shape, but the construction of ships, the recruitment of sailors, and the training of sailors all take time." Li You frowned slightly, if King Yue was interested, it was good, if he didn't know how to take the initiative to attack, then he would have to summon Zheng He and his treasure fleet, and he didn't believe that they could still block Zheng He's attack.
"It's not easy for outsiders to invade Shu, but it's also delusional for the king of Shu to come out and fight for the world, Xu Shiyong's improper position is difficult to subdue the people in the territory, and in the past month, the righteous army in the Chu State has swarmed, and Xu Shiyong's decree is almost difficult to get out of the capital, and these two can be left alone for the time being." Sima Cuo analyzed them one by one, "Therefore, at the moment, our main enemies are still the King of Qi and the northern captives who occupy the Guannei Dao. ”
"If you talk about the troops, there are 200,000 elite soldiers in the north, far better than us, and now they have got the goods and craftsmen in the capital, and now there are blacksmith furnaces everywhere around Longcheng to make weapons and armor, it won't be long before these cavalry in Mobei will complete the change, and when they turn the Guannei Road into their own use, they will definitely go south again." Sima Cuo said solemnly, in the long run, Beiyu is the biggest enemy Li You has to face.
"Then there is the king of Qi, although Henan Province, Dugi Province, and Shannan East Province are not as prosperous and rich as Jiangnan East Province, but they are the most important grain producing areas of the Great Wei Dynasty, and now it is a troubled time, and grain is much more precious than gold, silver and jewelry; At the same time, these three roads are the places where the Great Wei family gathers, and each family has a large amount of grain in stock, and they can use the grain to recruit troops. Hearing this, Wang Ji nodded slightly, he has lived in the territory of King Qi since he was a child, and he has heard of the savings of major families, these people not only have food and cloth hidden in their homes, but also a large number of weapons in case of emergency, they don't even need to recruit blacksmiths to gather all the equipment of 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus since last year, these three have risen up to run a trend of group training, and it won't take long for them to gather a force that cannot be ignored.
"At the same time, the major families have always been heirlooms with poetry and books, and the children of the clan are both civil and military, if you talk about talents, the world is the first under the King of Qi." The Northern Captives have the largest number of troops, and the King of Qi has a large number of talents, both of which have their own strengths, far better than the King of Shu, the King of Yue and Xu Shiyong, who stole the capital, and can be called a great enemy.
So what are our advantages? Many officials thought secretly, and gradually their eyes turned to Li You, the king of Qi, the king of Shu, the king of Yue and others are just puppets, although the northern captives Arubu is famous and decisive, but after all, he is a barbarian, and the plundering of the capital has made his heart lose his heart, and if he goes south again in the future, he will encounter the desperate resistance of the people.
On the other hand, Li You, the imperial driver escorted the emperor back to Beijing can be described as both wise and brave, leading the troops to the north to Qin Wang to collect Zhang Guo's corpse can be called benevolent and righteous, Wang Ji, Zhou Bofu, Qian Sa, Yao Guangxiao and other talents can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them, with these three advantages, in the future, we will not have the opportunity to defeat the king of Qi and the northern captives to dominate the world.
"Now that all forces are accumulating strength and expanding their armaments, our Jiazhou army cannot lag behind." Seeing that Sima Cuo had finished speaking, Li You began to talk about his plans, "In addition to what Fang just said about the expansion of the naval army, the infantry and cavalry should also be supplemented with new troops, and now we have three lands, and there are more than 10 million people under our rule, when we can support more troops, I plan to expand the army to 100,000 in the first phase, including 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 foot soldiers." ”
Now Li You's territory is located in the south, and it is extremely difficult to collect war horses, so for the time being, the proportion of cavalry can only be reduced, but there are 20,000 cavalry capable of fighting, as long as they are not captured in the north, the world can go.
When everyone heard this, they all claimed that it was, Sima Cuo, Luo Shiji and others came up with a new plan for expanding the army, and everyone discussed it one by one and began intense preparations for war.
The King of Qi, Xu Shiyong, the King of Shu, the King of Arub, the King of Yue, and the overseas Daoyi Heavenly King are also doing the same thing, and it will not be long before these seven countries will usher in an extremely chaotic battle. (To be continued.) )
