The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"As for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, if there is no accident, he will die within three months."

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the land of the Great Han has risen together, the princes have separated their regimes, fought against each other, and the flames of war have spread everywhere. The people of the Great Han have been displaced, suffering unspeakably, and there are no people living in hundreds of miles."

"Brother started at the end of the century, fought for thirteen years, conquered half of the world, sheltered tens of millions of people, expanded the territory, and became famous in China."

Speaking of the 13 years of war, everyone booed endlessly. Even Liu Bei, who is now the emperor, did not rarely lead troops to charge, and Chen Ziming, who was powerless, also went to the front line and died many times. danger.

"It's hard, brother." Liu Bei burst into tears when he heard this. Over the years, they have been involved in many dangers, and all of this was done by him and his brothers.

"Brother, don't do this. I will wait for my brothers to advance and retreat together." Guan Yu grabbed Liu Bei's hand.

"Ahem." Seeing this, Chen Ziming decided not to be sensational anymore, crying, what to say.

"Ziming continue." Liu Bei smiled slightly, bowed his head slightly to Chen Ziming, motioning Chen Ziming to continue.

"Let me talk about the situation in the world first."

Chen Ziming got up, came to the huge map hanging on the wall, looked at the map carefully, and then said: "Yizhou Liu Zhang can be crossed out. As for who will own Yizhou, it's hard to say. Although General Huang Zhong The soldiers entered Yizhou, but the soldiers were few and far between."

Although everything was arranged, Huang Zhong had too few troops, Sun Quan and Xiahou Dun had more than [-] troops, and Cao Cao could increase troops to Yizhou at any time. No matter how good the plan is, it must be strong.

If there is no strength, even if there are thousands of plans, they can all be smashed with one punch.

Therefore, Chen Ziming didn't have much expectation for taking Yizhou in one go, but it is still no problem to take some important places.

5 Chapter Twenty

"Except for Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Jiangdong is the weakest among all the princes in the world, followed by Cao Cao, and the eldest brother is the strongest."

Although Liu Bei is proclaimed emperor now, in Chen Ziming's view, he is just a powerful prince, just like Liu Zhang, even if he proclaims himself emperor, he will not be recognized by the whole world, it is just a decoration.

If it was in public, Chen Ziming wouldn't say it so clearly, but there are only a few of them here, so Liu Bei wouldn't care about it.

"Yangzhou and Jiaozhou are both large prefectures. Five Qingzhous may not have a large Yangzhou. Moreover, Nanyue and other places have already fallen into the hands of Sun Quan, with a population of one million, and their strength will continue to grow."

South Vietnam’s new acquisitions are still very rough, waiting for Sun Quan to slowly develop them. Whenever the South Vietnam area is developed, Sun Quan will get countless resources and soldiers, and his strength will gradually increase. This is the benefit of external expansion. Failure will result in heavy losses. Once successful, it will bring unprecedented benefits.

"Sun Quan in the east of the Yangtze River is still strong. The [-] elite Yangtze River navy troops are powerful and should not be underestimated. There are also [-] elite guards in Nanyue and other places. Tens of thousands of elites are also capable of recruiting good fighters."

"Jiangdong occupies the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Jiangdong is suitable for planting and rich in products. Sun Quan also occupies the land of South Vietnam, and his strength has greatly increased. If you calculate carefully, Jiangdong may have no fewer than 40 troops."

"Sun Quan is a rare hero with great ambitions. He has Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other top advisers to conspire. Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and others rule all sides. use."

"The climate in the east of the Yangtze River has been established and cannot be ignored. If you attack it, you must do your best to break it."

Chen Ziming's evaluation of Jiangdong is very high, far from being comparable to a fake emperor like Liu Zhang. Regardless of the territory, soldiers, generals, counselors, and politicians, there are many talents. The most important thing is that the Sun family has already ruled Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong clan is the Sun family. Follow the lead.

If Jiangdong is attacked, the Jiangdong clan will definitely support Sun Quan with all their strength, and Sun Quan will receive a steady stream of food, talents, and population reinforcements.

Under such circumstances, Jiangdong was very difficult to defeat. Chen Ziming didn't want to kill Jiangdong first, and turn around to deal with Cao Cao with all his strength, but Jiangdong is not so easy to handle. If Jiangdong is attacked, Liu Bei Group must go all out.

But that is impossible, because Liu Bei is not yet strong enough to attack Jiangdong with all his strength, and at the same time block Cao Cao's attack.

"Compared to Jiangdong, Cao Cao's strength is only stronger but not weaker."

After talking about Jiangdong, Chen Ziming turned his attention to the most central territory of the big man.

"Now Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Silizhou."

"The land of the four states is where the center of the Han Dynasty is located, and it is densely populated."

"The people in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Silizhou and other places are mostly educated, there are many clans, and there are many talents. All the great talents of all clans are under Cao Cao's account, which makes Cao Cao even more powerful."

"Jingzhou is the land of abundance, a natural granary that provides Cao Cao with countless grains, which is the guarantee for Cao Cao to conquer the four directions."

Speaking of Cao Cao, everyone was helpless. They were not much worse than Liu Bei than counselors. Compared with fierce generals, there may be more top generals in the Liu Bei Group, but there may not be as many second-class fierce generals as Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao occupies the most prosperous place in the Han Dynasty. territory.

In this era, most of the talents came from the clans, and the education in this era was almost in the hands of each clan, and the clans under Cao Cao's rule were numerous, providing Cao Cao with countless top talents.

"Yanzhou, the place where Cao Cao was born, was guarded by General Cao Ren with [-] troops."

"Yuzhou is a place where talents come forth in large numbers. General Le Jin has [-] troops guarding it."

"Jingzhou, the Land of Abundance, is the place where Cao Cao's logistics is supported. General Li Dian has [-] troops guarding it."

"Sili Prefecture, where Cao Cao's base camp is now, can be said to be a place full of troops, as solid as a rock."

Except for the soldiers and horses guarding the states, Cao Cao hoarded almost all the remaining soldiers and horses in Sili Prefecture. All the checkpoints in Sili Prefecture were guarded by large troops, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, Sili Prefecture, as the heart of the Han Dynasty, can attack Liangzhou and Beidi from the top, Yizhou from the left, and Bingzhou and Jizhou. It is the real place of the Four Wars. Similarly, because of this, today's Cao Cao has been besieged to death in the central area. If Cao Cao wants to expand, he can only attack Liu Bei or Sun Quan. As for the direction of Yizhou, the battle is still unclear, and the result is not yet known.

"Although Cao Cao is powerful, his potential has been exhausted. If he does not break the siege between us and Jiangdong, he will continue to decline and eventually perish in the long run."

In order to ward off Liu Bei's offensive, Cao Cao had to conscript a large number of soldiers. Now the people under Cao Cao's rule are miserable. Most of the farmers are women.

"Although Cao Cao is besieged by all sides, Cao Cao is at his most powerful at this time, with a large army of elite soldiers who are able to conquer and fight well."

"Whether counselors or generals, they are all above Sun Quan. If Sun Quan and Cao Cao fight to the death, Sun Quan will lose more than win."

Now Cao Cao's strength is far superior to Sun Quan's. For example, Sun Quan, as one of the vassals, gathered Jiangdong's force to attack Yizhou and fell into a stalemate. However, Cao Cao sent a group of generals and counselors to enter Yizhou with [-] elites. State, and Sun Quan, in comparison, Sun Quan fell a notch.

The most important thing is that Sun Quan has been unable to increase troops in Yizhou, because all parts of Jiangdong need soldiers and horses to guard and cannot be mobilized. However, if Cao Cao wants to, he can also send [-] soldiers and horses into Yizhou. Now it is just that the soldiers are exhausted and the food and grass are insufficient. , so only one hundred thousand soldiers and horses were sent.

"Cao Cao is our biggest enemy right now. If Cao Cao cannot be destroyed, it will be difficult to rule the world."

Cao Cao was a hindrance to Liu Bei's unification of the world. If it weren't for Cao Cao's restraint, Sun Quan would not have dared to jump up and down, attacking Liu Bei for a while, and attacking Yizhou for a while.

"The last is Big Brother's side. Now it is the number one force in the world, occupying half of the Han people, sheltering tens of millions of Han people, and hundreds of thousands of mercenaries. It expands the territory and is powerful in China."

Chen Ziming didn't flatter or brag. Now Liu Bei has the qualifications and strength. Now Liu Bei can despise Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Even if the two join forces to attack, Liu Bei will not be afraid at all.

Liu Bei's task now is not to defend, but to attack.

"Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Hanzhong, and Youzhou are all in the hands of the big brother. Fuzhou and Yizhou are big states on the sea, providing countless gold and silver minerals and countless grains for the big man. Heilongzhou and Jizhou have fertile land. , rich in minerals and a large population.”

Now that Cao Cao and Sun Quan add up, the ruled area is not as big as Liu Bei, and the population is not as large as Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei has a foresight Chen Ziming. From the very beginning, population is the highest strategy, even in the most difficult situation. Under such circumstances, Liu Bei will never give up a commoner.

Chapter 521 The Second Military Reform

In this land of China where wars are raging and wars are raging, only Liu Bei is the pure land, and only Liu Bei's people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Liu Bei burned the flames of war outside his territory. Neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan could enter Liu Bei's territory.

"Brother, after the battle of Yizhou is over, I plan to spend one to two years recuperating."

"Okay!" As soon as Chen Ziming finished speaking, Liu Bei immediately agreed, and his face leaked with excitement, because Liu Bei knew that he was taking the first step to unify the world, and he was about to sweep the world, unify China, end the troubled times, and return the world The common people are in a clear and bright world.

"Ziming, let's do it, we absolutely support it." Liu Bei once again gave Chen Ziming a guarantee that Chen Ziming can do whatever he wants, and the three Liu Bei brothers will serve as Chen Ziming's backing and cut off all obstacles for Chen Ziming.
