The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

As long as future generations are not too stupid and incompetent, as long as they don't do things like Qin Shihuang's burning books and burying scholars, Huaxia should be at the forefront of the world, and his painstaking efforts will not be in vain.

"Constitutional Monarchy . . . . "

Thinking of this, Chen Ziming shook his head, it was too early, he was too impatient, now is not the time to talk about these things at all.

A three-point world situation has been formed. Chen Ziming has always wanted to avoid such a thing from happening, but the gears of history are beyond his control.

Chapter 551 Arranging Troops

Three points in the world, although as early as Chen Ziming's expectation, after all, since the beginning, Chen Ziming's strategic thinking is to put the easy first and then the difficult. If he didn't kill Cao Cao and Sun Quan at the beginning, it would definitely form the current situation in the end.

It's all right now, the miscellaneous fish are all cleaned up, and the three-legged confrontation has been established, but Chen Ziming is not worried about forming a long-term tug-of-war. Compared with the three kingdoms in history, the current three-legged situation is no longer stable.

Liu Bei's family is the only one, and it is not generally powerful. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Quan join forces, they are not Liu Bei's opponents.

This is all-round suppression, military, political and people's livelihood, crushing Cao Cao and Sun Quan in any aspect.

And Liu Bei's pace of unifying the world has already begun. From the moment the military reform is completed, no one can stop Liu Bei from unifying the big man.

"Twenty legions, distributed all over the Han Dynasty."

In Liu Bei's study, Liu Bei convened a group of advisers and began to plan the layout. As Liu Bei's first secretary, Chen Gong was in charge of presiding over the meeting.

"The Twelve States of the Han Dynasty, depending on the situation, the guarding troops are also different."

"Among them, Fuzhou, Jizhou, and Heilongzhou are guarded by the Xu Sheng Legion..."

Chen Gong explained the distribution of soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty one by one. Now the Han Dynasty has added two states, namely Yizhou and Dizhou.

Dizhou, that is, the original territory of the Di tribe, after being included in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei directly named it Dizhou to show respect for the Di tribe.

However, the land area of ​​the Di tribe is yet to be determined, because it is too large. If the current territory of the Di tribe is limited, the Di tribe will be the largest state in the Han Dynasty, wider than both Yangzhou and Yizhou.

Although the land of the Di people is barren and the land is sparsely populated, it cannot be compared with big states like Yizhou and Yangzhou, but no one can say what will happen in the future, so Chen Ziming proposed that the boundary war in Dizhou should not be planned. Wait for the future as the case may be.

Then there is Yizhou. According to Chen Ziming's opinion, Liu Bei is going to name the northern part of Yizhou now occupied by Yizhou, and the southern part of Yizhou occupied by Cao Cao will be divided. It is divided into two. In the future, when Liu Bei conquers the southern part of Yizhou, it will not be assigned to Yizhou, but will be re-established as a state.

Look at the states controlled by the big man now, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Dizhou, Jizhou, Heilongzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, a total of twelve states.

If calculated in terms of land area, Liu Bei now controls only a lot more land than the original big man, which shows how terrifying Liu Bei's external expansion is.

Jizhou, Heilongzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, and Dizhou, it can be said that nearly half of Liu Bei's territory came from external expansion.

Of course, in terms of richness, population, and cultivated land, these states combined are not as good as Xuzhou. Except for the vast territory and hidden mineral resources, other gains are not great. One of the reasons for the expansion.

It takes time, effort, and money, but you can't get the corresponding gains. Instead, you have to invest more resources to build these barren places. You can see how much Liu Bei invested in Fuzhou and other places.

Many people in the court now oppose the inclusion of the Di clan into the Han Dynasty and the establishment of Dizhou. This is the case. Dizhou has nothing to attract them. Instead, they have to invest countless money to build Dizhou. Of course they are not willing.

But these are not their final decisions, because Chen Ziming persuaded Liu Bei, Liu Bei nodded, the army marched in, the Ministry of Finance allocated funds, and the objection was invalid.

In addition to the newly built Dizhou and Yizhou, there is also a northern land, which is the original territory of the Qiang people. The Qiang people moved inward, and the northern land is uninhabited. Outside the front line of the alien race, it is worthless at all.

"Fuzhou, Jizhou, and Heilongzhou are far away from the central area of ​​the Great Han Dynasty. When there is no war, the power of the foreign races in the grassland has dropped drastically, and they are still in civil strife. They cannot threaten these three states. Xu Sheng, an army, will guard Zuye."

"Youzhou, Beidi, and Liangzhou are places to defend the grasslands against aliens. We must not relax, but we don't need many soldiers and horses. Zhang Ji's army is sufficient."

It is completely enough for Zhang Ji's army to divide the troops to guard the three places. At the same time, it is also suitable for the decentralization of Zhang Ji's ancient princes. One army is distributed in three places, and Zhang Ji can run errands if he has nothing to do. economic participation.

"Dizhou is sparsely populated and has no foreign enemies. It is temporarily guarded by the Gaoshun Army. If there is a war, a part of the Gaoshun Army can be transferred to Yizhou to participate in the battle."

Sending Gao Shun to guard Dizhou was the result of long-term discussions between Liu Bei and Chen Ziming. Gao Shun was considered an old man in Liu Bei's group, and there was no problem with his loyalty, and he was enough to guard a state regardless of his ability or prestige.

The outer line of defense has been established, and there are twenty legions, but the three legions are arranged to guard, and the layout below is the key point.

"The Huangzhong army guards Yizhou, the Quyi army guards Hanzhong, the Zhao Yun army, Zhangxiu army, and Yan Yan army jointly guard Liangzhou, the Taishici army and Pound army guard Bingzhou, and the Zhangliao army, Zangba army, and Ma Chao army guard Jizhou. , Pan Zhang's army guarded Mount Tai, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, and four armies guarded Xuzhou, and Dianwei's and Chen Dao's army guarded Qingzhou."

"Yizhou is guarded by the navy, and [-] naval officers and soldiers are deployed in Yizhou to ensure the stability of Yizhou."

The whole layout is like this. There is no doubt that the navy guards Yizhou. Although there are no enemies above the sea, Sun Quan is still there.

As for other layouts, it can be seen from the arrangement of soldiers and generals that this is a sign of the Liu Bei Group's attack across the board.

Once the war starts, the Liu Bei Group will divide its troops into four groups to attack Cao Cao at the same time. Huang Zhong from Yizhou and Gao Shun from Dizhou will join forces to attack the northern part of Yizhou.

Quyi from Hanzhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Yan Yan from Liangzhou joined forces to attack Tongguan, Chang'an, Xianyang and other places. Tai Shici and Pang De from Bingzhou joined forces to attack Hangu Pass. One of the soldiers attacked Cao Cao's hometown Yanzhou, and the Panzhang Army in Taishan County depended on the situation, or incorporated into the Jizhou Zhangliao Army, or incorporated into the Xuzhou Zhanghe Army.

As for Xuzhou, the real place of the Fourth World War, it is connected to Yuzhou in the east, Yangzhou in the south, and Yanzhou in the north, so it has the most soldiers and horses.And once the war started, according to Chen Ziming's arrangement, all soldiers and horses in Xuzhou were aimed at Jiangdong, and Jiangdong soldiers and horses were fully restrained so that Liu Bei could concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao, the great enemy.

As for the Dianwei Army and Chen Dao Army in Qingzhou, they will join Liu Bei to go out together at that time. As for the direction, it has not yet been decided, but either Jizhou or Bingzhou, both fronts are the main force to attack Cao Cao.

Chapter 552

The general strategic plan has been set. Once the war started, the four armies pressed against Cao Cao in an instant. Chen Ziming wanted to end this troubled world by crushing it.

What kind of strategy, what is winning more with less, there is no need to waste these time, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless.

Of course, counselors are indispensable. Chen Ziming doesn't want to see a repeat of the Battle of Chibi, and doesn't want to see the confrontation between the Three Kingdoms in China for nearly a century. Counselors not only plan offense, but also plan defense.

"First, enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, strengthen training, replace better weapons, improve tactics, and make the soldiers in the army more professional and professional. Especially for various siege weapons, professional soldiers must be trained to control them."

After Chen Gong introduced the situation and layout of each army, Chen Ziming began to issue tasks. The first one was to strengthen the army's combat effectiveness and dominate the world. A strong army is the foundation. Whether it can crush the opponent depends on whether the millions of elites are strong enough.

"Second, the dark guards comprehensively investigate the enemy's situation, including the number of enemy troops, the distribution of the enemy troops, the enemy's equipment, the enemy's generals, the enemy's logistics reserves, and the enemy's possible war plans. Draw a clear map, all roads, water flows , lakes, woods, everything that can affect the battle of the army must be marked on the map."

For the upcoming war, the dark guards expanded again, and countless carefully selected, professionally trained dark guards were sent to the territories of Cao Cao and Sun Quan to start collecting intelligence.

Under the influence of Chen Ziming, the profession of spy in the real sense appeared for the first time in the world. Of course, this kind of profession appeared very old, but it was not called spy before, it was called spy work, and it was small in scale, unprofessional, and played no role. big.

But the secret guards are different. The spies trained under the guidance of Chen Ziming's meticulous training manual are very professional.

Moreover, the hidden guards have another task, which is to lure the enemy officials to surrender, regardless of whether they are civil servants or generals, they can do it, intimidate and lure them, and do everything they can.Liu Bei has plenty of money and rights. As the number one prince in the world, it is a trivial matter to be appointed an official after the matter is completed, and there are guarantees.

The dark guard is Chen Ziming's trump card. Chen Ziming wants to let Cao Cao and Sun Quan know that the dark guard is not comparable to a scout who only knows how to detect the enemy's situation.

"Third, strategic reserves, food, money, weapons, etc., all related to war, need a large amount of reserves. Everyone, we need at least enough reserves to swallow Cao Cao in one go."

In war, what is fought is logistics. Regardless of the past, present, or future, logistics is the most important thing. A war without logistics is a fight of desperadoes.

In Chen Ziming's opinion, there should be no problem with logistics reserves. Even Sun Quan, who controls the land of fish and rice, doesn't produce as much grain as Liu Bei does today. In terms of money, it goes without saying that Liu Bei's family has a mine, and it's also a gold mine. , Silver mine.

Moreover, the commerce under Liu Bei’s rule was very developed, almost reaching an unbelievable level. The prosperous Tang Dynasty in history may not be as developed as the commerce under Liu Bei’s rule. It's just the internal trade between Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Fuzhou.

But even so, the annual business tax has reached a terrifying level. Even if the mining of gold and silver mines in Fuzhou is abandoned, the development of Liu Bei Group will not stop because of this. of.

Under the rule of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, the status of merchants was still very low. Even those clans who were merchants did so quietly, for fear of being discovered. It was not because merchants were defined as low-class.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan also ordered the development of commerce when they saw Liu Bei's terrifying commercial tax revenue, but they couldn't compare with Liu Bei.
