Chapter 49: On the eve of the chaos
"The chaos is about to begin!"
Liu Xiu sighed.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was the prelude to the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Kwantung princes' war against Dong was the beginning. The war is chaotic, the warlords are fighting, and there is no peace.
As soon as the mind moved, the panel immediately appeared.
[Name: Liu Xiu]
[Martial Arts: Qigong (9th Layer), Tiger Roar Golden Bell Jar (9th Layer), Longyin Iron Cloth Shirt (9th Layer), Yijin Jing (9th Layer)]
After five years of hard practice, the four major exercises are all perfect, which is equivalent to the ninth layer of training, but the strength has reached 1,300 catties, which is comparable to a transcendent martial artist.
"The princes of the Eighteen Roads, the heroes rise together, there will inevitably be extraordinary warriors, and at that time, my strength can only be regarded as a second-rate general; But when you meet a top general, it's too much worse! ”
Liu Xiu ran his true qi, and immediately the heaven and earth vitality poured in from the void, refining it into his own vitality, and with a wave of his hand, he shot out a sword qi, about three zhang long, tearing everything apart.
"It's just such a big killing move, you can only use it three times, it's just that your true qi is exhausted!" Liu Xiu pondered, "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc., have all entered the transcendent realm, but I have stopped practicing the ninth layer, it seems that the qualifications are still not good!" ”
There are three extraordinary generals under him, and Jiujiang is enough for the time being, but if he wants to sweep the six counties of Jiangdong, it seems to be a little insufficient.
The times create heroes, and during the war, the number of extraordinary warriors born far exceeds that of the era of peace. In the past, the ninth layer of training could sit on one side; But now a transcendent martial artist can suppress one side.
The foundation is still a little shallow, and he can't compete with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
"There is a lack of civil ministers, there is a lack of generals, and talents need to be recruited, after all, as the lord, you can't bow down to everything, you can't always rush to the front, such a lord has no future!"
Liu Xiu pondered.
In this world, only Lu Bu personally rushed to kill, whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or other princes, they rarely led their troops to charge in person. As the lord of one side, most of the moments when he personally went into battle to fight were when there was only one county on the territory, or when the army was defeated and ran away.
The son of a daughter, who can't sit down, in the eyes of civil and military, the lord can't easily take risks. For example, Xiang Yu, Lu Bu and the like, the future is not big after all, and most of those strategists and ministers will not take refuge.
At this moment, the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the grass is growing and the warbler is flying in a flower garden, and there is a crisp and pleasant laughter, which is Cai Yan's laughter. Hearing her voice, the originally boring mood suddenly improved, and Liu Xiu stepped forward with a smile on her face.
"I've seen my husband!"
Cai Yan heard the footsteps and found Liu Xiu's figure, his face turned slightly red, and he stepped forward and saluted.
"It would be nice if there was no war, but unfortunately there will be war in the future!" Liu Xiu said: "I want to stop the war with war and end this troubled world!" ”
Yuan Shao can't do it, Cao Cao can't do it, Zhuge Liang can't do it, Sima Yi can't do it, only he can.
"I wish you all the best of luck!" Cai Yan said.
"Haha, borrow your auspicious words!" Liu Xiudao.
He didn't stay in the mansion for long, but immediately went to the mansion, gathered the chariots, horses and personal soldiers, and then began to make his rounds.
Being a Taishou is much easier than being a mayor in later generations.
In an agrarian society, there is not much government affairs, as long as the powerful are suppressed and the people are given recuperation, the situation can be stabilized and the world is stable.
Two hundred knights guarded the left and right, sitting in the carriage, Liu Xiu looked around, a small river meandered in the distance, and the people were working in the fields, although it was hard, they were stable, with a smile on their faces, and a high happiness index. Because there is no big war to fight, there are fewer taxes, and the land is leveled and water conservancy is built, and the annual situation has been good in recent years, and looking at the momentum of crops, it is another bumper harvest year.
After the first year of Zhongping, it has been five years now, Jiujiang has not been attacked by drought, flood and locust plague, and has had a bumper harvest for five consecutive years. The granary is full, there is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart. But Liu Xiu estimated that with Jiujiang's grain stocks and finances, it could only support a year and a half of war.
Three years of continuous harvests can sustain a year of war. In the event of a poor harvest or disaster, the war may last even longer.
The lack of food and the inconvenience of transportation limited the scale of the war and limited the radius of the war.
In a war, after a war, it is necessary to recuperate for two or three years to restore strength; If you fight for a long time and don't get cultivation, you will be dragged down.
In a trance, Liu Xiu thought of Cao Cao, who was in the land of four wars, constantly fighting, unable to cultivate, and finally occupied the north, I have to say that Cao Cao is very powerful.
"Zhicai, the world won't be peaceful for long!" Liu Xiu said: "Jiujiang is a place to rush, connecting Huainan and Jingzhou, there must be a big war here!" ”
Xi Zhicai said: "The world is in chaos, and I can only rise when I am cold." The lord can go further, and only by sweeping Jiangdong, occupying Jingzhou, and spanning the land of the two Huai, can he win the world! ”
Liu Xiudao: "If you want to occupy Jiangdong, at least the world must be in chaos." The rafters that come out will rot first, and I'll wait for the right time! ”
Heading to the northwest, a large area of raw land is where hundreds of thousands of mountain barbarian fields are placed. After five years of running-in, the Shanmen are no strangers to farming, and they may become real Han people after a decade or two.
Looking at the mountain barbarians who honestly cultivated the land, Liu Xiu was very satisfied.
Xi Zhi said: "Lord, although the mountain barbarian army was broken last time, there are still millions of barbarians hidden in the mountain, and they are afraid and dare not go out of the mountain, but once the Jiujiang soldiers go out to fight, the army is empty, and the mountain barbarians will inevitably make chaos!" The mountain barbarians will be a big trouble for their henchmen! ”
Liu Xiu said: "Is there a strategy to deal with Shanman? ”
Xi Zhicai said: "There is a lot of miasma in the mountains, and the army can't go deep, so the army can only continue to besiege it, and build a camp, step by step!" Constantly compress the range of activities of the mountain barbarians! also trained an elite team to constantly rob the women and children of the mountain barbarians and weaken the mountain barbarians! ”
Liu Xiu frowned slightly, it seemed to be very good, but it was actually rubbish.
"For Nanban, as well as Shanyue, the main thing is to educate and educate, and war is the auxiliary, to raze and suppress, if you can't digest everything, then consume, you can't become friends, and if you become, you will die!" Liu Xiu said, talking about the method of indoctrination of the barbarians.
It is nothing more than changing the life of the Han Dynasty, learning Chinese characters, wearing Han clothes, and cultivating pro-Han mountain barbarians, which is the strengthened version of the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The failure of education is the failure of the five nonsense and the failure of education, and if there is no good education of the barbarians, they cannot make them friends, and they will inevitably become enemies.
"The lord has papermaking skills, ink printing, and there is no shortage of books, but there is a shortage of teachers!" Xi Zhicai said.
Liu Xiu sighed, there are still not enough talents.
The south is still a desolate place, and the territory of Jiujiang County is not small, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and talents are scarce.
"Meet the envoy!" Zhang Fei and Jiang Qin stepped forward to salute, and behind them were various lieutenants and generals, all of whom were strong in muscles and bones, and strong in qi and blood.
Liu Xiu's eyes swept over everyone and said, "No need to be polite, this time I came to prepare to inspect the army, Yide, you lead the way in front, let's go to the barracks first!" ”
"Envoy, please!" Zhang Fei turned around and got on his horse and led the way in front.
The camp is located at the foot of the mountain, and in the past, the barbarians descended the mountain to raid and often descended from here. And now, it has become a barracks.
"Envoy, now the Jiujiang battalion has 100,000 troops, and they are often trained, and in addition, if it is an emergency, they can also recruit another 100,000 troops for emergency!" Zhang Fei talked about the situation in the camp.
