Chapter 67: Post-War Deployment
Jia Xu tugged at his beard and said lightly: "When the prime minister was about to fight, he had a head attack, this was done by Cheng Zhongde alone, what does it have to do with the prime minister?" ”
"Huh?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
After a while, the whole person suddenly relaxed, and instructed Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie will play the war tomorrow immediately, and he has his own holy judgment." ”
Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why, Jia Xu gently pulled his sleeve on the side, comprehended in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "Obey!" ”
Cao Cao asked again: "What does Wen He think about the relocation of the capital?" ”
Although he was sick in bed, Cao Cao never stopped thinking, and he had already thought of the problems that others could think of, and the current situation, if the capital was not moved, there would be many people in the court and the central government who would have trouble.
Jia Xu said: "Nanyang is occupied by Liu Qi, Xu Du is in a hurry, the Son of Heaven is in danger, since he moved to Hebei, with the hope of the world, the prime minister should go to the front line and dispatch the three armies." ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Wenhe's words are very much in line with my intentions."
In the eyes of others, the problem of being tangled and difficult, Jia Xu solved it with a single sentence, neither need to repair Luoyang, nor do you have to worry about Yecheng.
As long as Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven change positions, all the problems will be solved.
And Cao Cao personally guarded Xuchang, which could stabilize the situation to the greatest extent and gain a reputation for guarding the front line.
When the people of the Central Plains were panicking, Nanyang was full of joy, and Liu Qi's prestige also reached an unprecedented new height.
After Cao's army retreated, Liu Qi ordered Wen to hire guards Ye County and Lu Chang to guard Bowang and guard the Nanyang Road.
Needless to say, Wen Ping's defensive ability is not an ordinary person, although he is not as good as the five good generals, but he is also a good guard.
During the Battle of Fancheng, it was Lu Chang who defended Xiangyang, and although Guan Yu besieged Fancheng and Xiangyang, he did not conquer them.
With such two double insurances guarding the gate of Nanyang, you can develop Jingzhou with peace of mind.
More than 200,000 troops surrendered, selected 100,000 elite soldiers, led by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang He, and the rest of the strong men guarded the cities and Tuntian for public security.
The disabled were resettled in various places, and the three counties in the northern part of Xinye were looted by Cao's army, and the population needed to be replenished in time.
In addition, there is an unexpected gain, during Wei Yanqi's attack on Bowang, he earned a reputation in Funiu Mountain, and the major cottages respected him as the main and came to attach him.
Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard the report, and agreed to relocate the families of those heroes, select three thousand heroes of the green forest, and form the Red Flame Army under the name of the red-faced Yama.
Everyone in the Red Flame Army has special skills, they don't need to be rigorously trained, but they must be absolutely loyal, responsible for stealth assassinations on the battlefield, scouting sentries, and becoming a special forces.
Although they are all collecting intelligence, unlike the Yanfeng Battalion, these people are active on the battlefield, serving as scouts and warriors, and can even change the tide of battle at critical moments.
Wei Yan strongly agreed with Liu Qi's idea, he was a person who liked to make strange adventures, and this kind of surprise attack and lurking combat method was perfect for him.
In the past few days, he and Xu Shu have often been together to discuss guerrilla tactics and camouflage skills.
In particular, Liu Qi's guiding ideology of going deep into the people was highly recognized by the two.
"Everyone has the responsibility to rejuvenate the great cause of the Han Dynasty, and we must unite all the forces that can be united, and make as many friends as possible and enemies as few as possible."
Liu Qi said, easy to understand, well versed in the strategy of the army.
Xu Shu was also very busy during this time, selecting talents to form a system, everything is difficult at the beginning, if the initial selection is wrong, everything will be in vain.
What made Liu Qi most happy was that he found Shi A from nowhere, this was Cao Pi's martial arts instructor, and he was poached first.
It turned out that when Xu Shu was in Luoyang, he had become acquainted with Shi A's master Wang Yue, and after being captured by the government, it was Wang Yue who rescued Xu Shu, including Shi A.
Wang Yue is the first sword master of the Three Kingdoms, once the emperor's teacher, Liu Qi asked Shi A to find a way to invite the old man to Xiangyang, let him guide him in two moves, and then train some guards, and the security problem in the future can be greatly enhanced.
But if you want to say that the busiest person is Zhuge Liang, although he has no specific tasks, but he knows a little bit about military training, law, people's security, and water conservancy, and gives guidance everywhere.
After his guidance, everyone seemed to see the sun through the clouds, and then turned to ask for advice, and came and went, becoming a person in everything, and he was everywhere.
Liu Qi is also helpless, fortunately, Zhuge Liang is energetic at this time, and he is also happy in it, so he can work hard!
Take advantage of the present time to collect and train more talents, let them do their best, and they will not exhaust the prime minister to death.
On this day, he was looking for Zhuge Liang, pretending to discuss the improvement of Qin's crossbow, and wanted to hook out his repeater's crossbow, Xu Shu came to tell him that Dongwu really sent troops to attack Huainan, and Zhou Yu had already taken Lujiang.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "As expected, Sun and Cao Cao have only been married for half a year, and they have faced each other with swords, and they are worthy of being backstabbed experts." ”
Xu Shu said: "Huainan is related to the Yangtze River defense line, Sun Cao's two armies will definitely confront here, the general should rest his troops and horses as soon as possible, and take the opportunity to take Xichuan." ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Xichuan is far from dangerous, the time has not come, you can't rush to send troops, the top priority is to rest and recuperate internal affairs and stabilize Jingnan." Once Sun Quan is defeated in Huainan, he will definitely attack Jingzhou again, and I heard that Zhou Yu also has the intention of benefiting Jingzhou, and I am afraid that he will plot against Jingnan and take the westward route. ”
Liu Qi sneered: "Sun Quan can't even capture Huainan and Xuzhou, and he dares to covet Yizhou, his hand is too long, as long as Jiangxia and Jiangling are stable, he can cut off his westward journey." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "The four counties of Jingnan are vast and sparsely populated, and Changsha and Guiyang are close to Yangzhou, so they should also take precautions. ”
Liu Qi said: "Changsha is too guarded by Han Xuan, appointed by his father, and can be transferred back to Xiangyang to listen to it, but Guiyang is too guarded by Zhao Fan, and he has been entrenched here for a long time, so I am afraid that he will not listen to orders." ”
Xu Shu said: "According to the detailed report, Zhao Fan and Cao Cao seem to have secret dealings, if Nanyang loses, this person is afraid that he will start an army, this matter should not be rushed, should be delayed." ”
Liu Qi nodded and said: "Among the four counties, Changsha is the richest, and it is connected to Dongting Lake, I am preparing to train a naval army here, but I can deploy heavy troops in Changsha, which is enough to deter the other three counties, even if Zhao Fan has different intentions, there is no need to worry." ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "The general is extremely worried, the Jiangdong naval army is strong, and it occupies the benefits of the Yangtze River, if there is no naval army to contain it, let it cross the river, it will definitely threaten the territory, and when it enters the Sichuan in the future, it can also advance by land and water, and get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Although the establishment of the naval army needs to cost a lot of money and food, it has to be built, whether it is to control the Yangtze River or to fight against Soochow in the future, it is one of the necessary conditions.
When he was discussing, suddenly Jiangxia sent someone for help, Huang Zu learned that Zhou Yu attacked Lujiang, saw that Chaisang was empty, and took the opportunity to send troops to Xiakou.
Liu Qi scolded the case: "This is really a good word to persuade the damn ghost, it's hard to pull you!" ”
