In the second year of the first peace, in December.

Linzi City, State Pastoral Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

Zhang Fei was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

Guan Yu looked into the inner room from time to time, and the Danfeng eyes were a little more worried.

Compared with Zhang Fei's anxiety and Guan Yu's worry, Liu Bei was playing against Zheng Pingjing quietly, with a gentle face and a calm breath.

However, the frequent mistakes on the chessboard clearly exposed Liu Bei's absent-mindedness.

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan while thinking about how to make Liu Bei, who made frequent mistakes, turn defeat into victory.

In the inner room, a burst of heart-rending sounds sounded.

It is Guo Zhao, the niece of the King of Plains and Liu Bei's current wife, who is facing the critical moment of childbirth.

Suddenly.

A baby's cry rang out.

A moment later.

A middle-aged hidden woman appeared in the courtyard with a crying baby in her arms: "Congratulations to the envoy, Xiaoxi, the joy of making tiles, the female weighs seven pounds and two, and the mother is safe." ”

Zhang Fei rushed forward with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and hugged him: "This is my virtuous niece, I can't fall down." ”

"Ahem, third brother!" Guan Yu coughed lightly and reminded.

Zhang Fei's outstretched hand hung in the air, and then retreated: "Haha, forget, forget, I have to hug the eldest brother first!" ”

Liu Bei got up slowly, seemingly unsurprised and unjoyed, but the chess pieces that had not yet fallen into the chessboard were subconsciously pulled in the palm of his hand.

Carefully holding the baby girl crying in her arms, the crying stopped abruptly, followed by laughter.

"Smiling at the sight of my father is a good omen, congratulations to the envoy!" Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and came to Liu Bei's side.

This small compliment made Liu Bei no longer hold back the joy in his heart: "I have been drifting for many years, and I finally have a child." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also congratulated each other.

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, the important thing is that Liu Bei has his own child, which is a good sign.

When Cao Cao was as old as Liu Bei, Cao Ang began to study in the school.

"Envoy, take a name first, and then go to accompany Madame."

"Although the envoy doesn't care about men and women, Madame definitely cares a lot."

Zheng Ping reminded with kind words.

Liu Bei spread out the chess pieces in his hand and subconsciously said: "Let's call it 'Yi'." ”

Zhang Fei stared at the chess pieces in Liu Bei's hand and said bluntly: "Big brother, this name is too arbitrary, right?" ”

"Third brother!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei: "Read more." ”

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: ""Guangya" has clouds, players, and rong. It means beauty. ”

"The five elements of the word Yi belong to the wood, "Shangshu. Hong Fan has clouds: Mu said that it was straight. It is the wind of being able to bend and stretch and be a big husband. ”

"The envoy takes the name of 'Yi' as the hope that this woman can inherit the beauty of his wife and the wisdom of the king."

Liu Bei laughed: "Xianmou knows my heart very well!" ”

Seeing Liu Bei walking into the inner room with Liu Yi in his arms, Zhang Fei scratched his head suspiciously: "Can Yi still be explained like this?" Mr. Xianmou, does the eldest brother really think so? ”

Zheng Ping shook his head and chuckled: "Although the envoy doesn't care whether his wife gives birth to a boy or a daughter, he still hopes to have a boy in his heart." ”

"The gamer, when the game is against the world, in order to inherit the will of the Jun Kuang to support the Han family."

"But such an explanation is likely to make the lady mistakenly think that the king is complaining that she gave birth to a daughter, and secretly resent."

"But this word is from the mouth of the envoy, and it is inconvenient for the gentleman to change it, so I can only give the meaning to the word."

"Fortunately, I read a lot of books when I was young, and as long as I quote the scriptures, my wife will not have any resentment against the envoy."

"The gamer, smart, beautiful, and has the style of a big husband, after 20 years, she can be called a talented woman in the world!"

Guan Yu stroked his hair slightly, with admiration in his eyes.

Although Zheng Ping does not treat the classics on weekdays, he can easily quote the classics, and he is not inferior to the great Confucians who govern the classics in Linzi City.

Zhang Fei suddenly realized: "Mr. Xianmou is really talented, this can be quoted from the classics, I thought that the eldest brother was playing chess, so he named his niece Yi." ”

Zheng Ping chuckled and turned around: "Let's leave first." ”

There is a formal ceremony for naming the name, and the purpose of letting Liu Bei name his eldest daughter at this time is to appease Guo Zhao, who has just given birth.

Liu Bei is now also a person with status and status.

The limitations of the concept of the times, even if Liu Bei doesn't say it on the surface, there will definitely be regrets in his heart.

Similarly, Guo Zhao will also be anxious because he failed to give birth to Liu Bei's eldest son.

Emperors and generals, many of them will cause trouble because their wives do not have eldest sons.

There are even cases of wives poisoning other women in the inner courtyard.

And once the wife has a bad heart, even if it is a benevolent person like Liu Bei, she will feel unhappy.

Zheng Ping will not bet on human nature, because human nature is the least worth betting.

Once there is a crack, no matter how much you make up for it, it is difficult to restore the crack to its original state.

Zheng Ping is accustomed to nipping danger in the bud!

Leaving the inner courtyard, Zheng Ping came to the office office.

Liu Hui is a very capable ruler, and during the period when Liu Bei and Zheng Ping left Qingzhou, he handled Qingzhou's government affairs very properly.

This also gave Zheng Ping enough time to analyze the intelligence of various states and counties, so as to deduce the direction of the general trend of the world.

"Cao Cao waved his troops to Yingchuan, but was blocked by Sun Jian in Xiangcheng, and the two sides fought for three days, and each led his troops to withdraw."

"Wancheng was conquered by Huang Zhong under Liu Biao's Zhonglang."

"Yuan Shu gave up Nanyang and Yingchuan and garrisoned Runan."

"Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Zhou Xin, the Taishou of Danyang County, and Zhou Ang, the Taishou of Jiujiang County, led troops into Jiujiang County, and killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou."

"Shanyang County guarded Yuan's legacy, claiming to be ordered by Yuan Shao to lead Yangzhou to assassinate the history and lead troops south."

"Zhang Miao expelled Yuan Xu, the Taishou of Jiyin County, and Yuan Xu fled south to Peiguo."

"Ma Teng Han then attacked Xihe County, and the white wave thieves fled south."

"Gongsun Chan had a big quarrel with Liu Yu, for some reason."

"There are rumors in various states, and they all say that Qingzhou is a pastor who secretly collects the jade seal of the country."

"Liu Pet wrote to ask himself to resign from the post of Yuzhou pastor, and the imperial court reappointed Guo Gong as the assassin of Yuzhou."

"Yuan Shu wanted to take Yuan Hei as Chen Xiang, but was rejected by Chen Wang Liu Pet."

"Zong Zheng is on the table of the Son of Heaven, and Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, has been thinking about it for three years behind closed doors before the punishment, and the Son of Heaven has taken Liu Dai's brother Liu Miao as the assassin of Yangzhou."

"Xiapi Xiangzhu is integrated into the Guangxing Buddhist temple in Xiapi County, and the people of Xiapi County are asked to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night."

"Peng Cheng Xiang Xue Li was deposed by Tao Qian."

“.”

Looking at the scattered information from various states and counties, Zheng Ping couldn't help frowning.

Since the day Qingzhou began to intervene in the affairs of the world, the changes in the general trend of the world have gradually become complicated.

Even Ma Teng Han Sui appeared in Bingzhou!

And Yuan Shu, as expected, wantonly spread the matter of Liu Bei's private collection of the jade seal of the country.

"Liu Dai is lucky."

Zheng Ping put down the information, and his eyes were more contemplative.

After three years of thinking behind closed doors, for Liu Dai, this punishment is almost equal to nothing.

And the reason for Liu Dai's punishment to be reduced is Liu Dai's younger brother Liu Xuan!

Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, was killed by Yuan Shu, and Liu Xuan, in order to save Liu Dai, took the opportunity to invite himself to assassinate Yangzhou and pacify Yangzhou for the imperial court.

Dong Zhuo saw Liu Xuan's invitation, so he naturally readily agreed.

With Liu Dai and Liu Xuan's family in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo is not afraid that Liu Xuan will make trouble after pacifying Yangzhou.

Liu Chong would ask himself to resign from the idea of Yuzhou Mu, Zheng Ping was not surprised.

Yuzhou Mu originally drove ducks to the shelves for Liu Chongdang, the purpose was to let Liu Chong contain Yuan Shu.

But now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, Dong Zhuo does not want an uncontrolled Han clan to be the pastor of Yuzhou, so he appointed an envoy to let Liu Chong be the pastor of Yangzhou.

Liu Pet naturally refused to leave Chen Guo.

In the state of Chen, Liu Chong is the hereditary king of Chen.

But if he goes to Yangzhou, Liu Chong's hereditary King Chen will be gone.

Therefore, Liu Chong immediately asked himself to resign from the post of Yuzhou pastor, and Dong Zhuo also took advantage of the situation to reassign Guo Gong to serve as the assassin of Yuzhou, and let Liu Miao go to be the assassin of Yangzhou.

The power of the state pastor and the assassin are very different.

Dong Zhuo just played the trick of power, and he stepped down from his post as the Yuzhou pastor of King Chen, a clan member of the Han family.

Because it was Liu Pet who took the initiative to resign, even Liu Bei couldn't interfere.

And Guo Gong is a native of Yingchuan, in order to win over Yingchuan to guard Cao Cao, he directly chose to join forces with Cao Cao to fight against Yuan Shu.

Today's Yuzhou has become the neutral of King Chen and Liu Chong, and Yuan Shu and Guo Gong and Cao Cao share the situation in Yuzhou.

However, in the chaos of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, Qingzhou is currently unable to intervene.

Let Tai Shi Ci go south to Lujiang County, and it is just a chance for Liu Bei to establish diplomatic relations with the Wujun Shi clan Haoqiang led by Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang.

A few days later.

Zheng Ping submitted Qingzhou's strategic plan for the coming year to Liu Bei for approval.

Although Yuzhou is in chaos again, Yanzhou has become close to stability.

Zang Hong had the support of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Ying Shao, Bao Xin and others, and adopted Chen Gong's good policy of lightly taxing and reducing taxes, and immersed himself in restoring people's livelihood.

Tao Qian in the south, because of the chaos in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, stationed soldiers and horses in the areas of Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling to avoid Yuan Shu going north.

The contradiction between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is getting more and more serious, and there is no time to take care of Qingzhou anymore.

In other words.

Except for the pirates in Donglai County, Qingzhou has almost no external troubles.

This is a great time to accumulate grain and build a city!

"Qingzhou is fertile for 2,000 miles, there is the Rao of the negative sea on the left, there is the solidity of mountains and rivers on the right, the terrain is precipitous, comparable to the pass of Gaozu, the river of Guangwu, this is the place of use."

"However, the terrain of Linzi City is flat and difficult to hold. If there is a surprise attack by thieves, the civil and military families are easy to fall into the hands of thieves, which is a taboo for the use of force. ”

"The city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, all have the advantages of mountains and rivers in the shape of convenience, dogs and teeth, four miles northwest of Guangxian County, surrounded by a stream, blocking the water and deep, so that you can build a city in this place, named Guanggu City."

"If the people of Qi and Linzi City move into Guanggu City, they can attack and retreat, and they will not have any worries if they use force in the world."

Although Linzi City has a long heritage, it is not an easy city to hold.

If it is only regarded as a place of trade, Linzi City, with its developed transportation and flat terrain, is naturally the best.

However, in the troubled times, there are many wars and disasters, and a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is far more worthy of having than a city with convenient transportation.

In the fifth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, the former Zhao Qingzhou Thorn History took Cao Wei to Linzi "the land is difficult to defend, built Guanggu City in the west of Guangxian County, and moved the Qingzhou Thorn History Department, Qi County and Linzi County from Linzi City to Guanggu City.

It was from this time that Qingzhou's military status took a turn.

In the third year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong De, a Xianbei nobleman, accepted the suggestion of Shangshu Pan Cong and established a state in Guanggu City to be called the emperor, known as Nanyan in history.

Pan Cong said in the middle of the suggestion: Qingqi fertile soil, called Dongqin, 2,000 earthworks, more than 100,000 households, the solidity of the four stops, and the Rao of the negative sea, can be described as a country of force. Sanqi Yingjie, be ambitious, who doesn't think about the master to establish the size of the merit! Guanggu, Cao Wei's camp, the mountains and rivers are steep, enough to be the capital of the emperor.

Although the Southern Yan Kingdom only existed for twelve years, it made Qingzhou the only place in the history of the land of Qilu to establish a capital and claim the title of emperor.

Zheng Ping is a native of Qingzhou, so he naturally hopes that Liu Bei's military and political center of gravity will be in Qingzhou.

And the military disadvantages of Linzi City, Zheng Ping is naturally very clear.

When he traveled to Zhuzhou County, Zheng Ping made a special trip to the northwest of Guangxian County to inspect the terrain.

Cao Wei is indeed a capable person!

Surrounded by a stream and a deep water barrier, this is an excellent place to build a dangerous and fortified city.

There is a dangerous city to be strong, in order to truly achieve the emperor's cause!

Cao Cao chose to build the capital in Xu County, also because of the dangerous terrain of Xu County, and the mountains and rivers are intertwined.

Zheng Ping's plan of "accumulating grain and building a city high", Liu Bei did not immediately approve it, but convened the civil and military forces of Qingzhou to discuss together, and even Sun Qianjian Yong and other core personnel outside Linzi City returned to Linzi City.

Accumulate grain, Liu Bei is recognized.

But when the city was built high, Liu Bei didn't dare to decide easily.

This is not to reinforce Linzi City, but to build another city!

If the city was to be repaired, it would take at least ten years and more than 100,000 laborers to be employed.

It takes ten years to build a city, and the people and money are lost.

Therefore, most people will choose to repair the ancient city.

Just like Linzi City, since the city was built, it has been repeatedly repaired for more than 1,000 years.

Sun Qian is a native of Qingzhou, and he also knows the geographical location of the city that Zheng Ping said.

Although he recognized that it was a good place to build a city, Sun Qian did not approve of building a new city: "Xianmou, building a Guanggu city is beneficial to the future, but it is not conducive to the present. ”

"Using tens of thousands of Qingzhou people to bear more than ten years of forced labor, so hard work and loss of money, violates the righteousness of the king."

Guo Yuan also said: "Although Linzi City does not have a steep terrain, the city is high and deep, and it is also a thousand-year-old city, as long as it is carefully guarded, it will not be easily attacked." ”

"What's more, even if a city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will eventually be breached."

"There is no city in this world that can rely entirely on the geographical advantage to defend the city."

"With this manpower and financial resources, it is better to reclaim more rivers and canals and fertile land for the benefit of the people."

Zhang Zhao said: "Linzi City is not suitable for defending the city, there are many cities in Qingzhou that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can be used to repair and build new cities, which is easy to cause resentment among the people." ”

Qingzhou scribes such as Liu Hui and Gongcao Zhao Yu in Zhizhong almost all spoke out against it.

And the military generals, whether it is Guan Yu Zhang Fei, or Tian Yu and others, are silent.

Building a new city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is not conducive to the people's livelihood but is conducive to the military, and the generals are naturally unwilling to oppose it.

Suddenly, Liu Bei fell into a dilemma.

This is the first time that Zheng Ping's plan has been opposed by almost all Qingzhou civil officials.

It's just a 140 monthly pass, kneel and beg.

Three shifts will begin next month.

Khan, the point of the timing became immediately released, embarrassed
