The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always been around, and the love of the three brothers prevented Liu Bei from becoming disowned by his relatives, nor did he become cold-blooded and ruthless because of his rights.And he has long accepted Chen Ziming as a brother in his heart, and his feelings are not inferior to those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As the emperor, Liu Bei established his own intelligence system and sources of information, instead of relying entirely on hidden guards. Of course, Liu Bei's intelligence network was mainly aimed at the inside, or monitoring the ministers of the DPRK and China and the generals of all parties.

Over the years, he has collected a lot of information, heard a lot of whispers, and pointed the finger at Chen Ziming. Some people even said openly that if it weren't for Chen Ziming, Liu Bei would not be where he is today, and Chen Ziming is the real No. 1 big man.

What's more, it is said that Chen Ziming is powerful and has countless supporters. As long as Chen Ziming shouts out, countless generals and ministers will support Chen Ziming.

Especially the rumors about the navy were too terrifying, pointing directly at the bottom line of those in power. The navy was Chen Ziming's direct descendant and absolutely supported Chen Ziming. Even Liu Bei could not deny this matter. Chen Ziming's influence in the navy was too great.

But soon, Liu Bei burned the information. Does Liu Bei care about this? Of course he does. There is no emperor who does not care about his power being threatened.

But so what, what kind of person Chen Ziming is, Liu Bei knows very well that Chen Ziming has no interest in power, and Chen Ziming is surprisingly lazy about government affairs.

Chen Ziming has great power in the Han Dynasty. It is undeniable that whether in the army or in the court, Chen Ziming can almost avoid Liu Bei and give orders directly. Chen Ziming has single-handedly promoted countless talents and generals.

But so what, these talents, these generals, Chen Ziming gave all of them to Liu Bei, and he didn't have the slightest intention of keeping them for himself.

When Liu Bei heard the rumors that Chen Ziming wanted to rebel, he laughed and didn't take a look at it. Chen Ziming wanted to be the emperor himself, and what about Liu Bei, with Chen Ziming's ability, no one in the world could stop him. Why bother to join Liu Bei's family.

The top generals under Liu Bei, except for the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the others were not brought by Chen Ziming, from Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao at the beginning, to Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Yun later, because these top generals , Only then did Liu Bei have today.

What makes Liu Bei ignore these rumors the most is that Liu Bei has no other skills, but he is very good at judging people. Liu Bei thinks he can see clearly what kind of person Chen Ziming is, and he doesn't need anyone to tell him. give pointers.

And the generals in the army, needless to say Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong and others, are not loyal and courageous people. These generals will not commit rebellion if they serve Liu Bei However, even if Chen Ziming stepped forward and asked them to rebel, these generals would not follow.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei is completely at ease with Chen Ziming, because these loyal and righteous people were all given to Liu Bei by Chen Ziming. Chen Ziming is dedicated to the great man and the people of the world, and will not turn against Liu Bei because of his power. Liu Bei very clear.

And Liu Bei's original intention was also for the great man, for the people, and it has not wavered now. This is why neither the monarch nor the minister has the slightest disagreement, and they have absolute trust.Liu Bei just felt that he owed Chen Ziming too much.

"What is big brother doing here?"

Liu Bei stood for a long time, Guan Yu searched for a while, and finally found Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Bei staring into the distance blankly, he asked in doubt.

Hearing Guan Yu's voice, Liu Bei felt powerless. For a while, he was bothered by Guan Yu and couldn't sleep or eat. Whenever he had free time, Guan Yu would definitely appear in front of Liu Bei. Seeing Guan Yu, Liu Bei said powerlessly: "Yun Chang, you are very tired."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm here!"

Liu Bei hadn't dismissed Guan Yu yet, when a loud voice came, Liu Bei suddenly felt powerless. The two brothers, who had competed with him, became more annoying than the other.

"There is a final decision on the matter of military expenditure, and it can be changed at will. You and the other two should not mention it again."

Liu Bei also played tricks, asking for military expenses, anyway, he couldn't say so, he didn't know the price of oil and rice if he was not in charge, and there was no shortage of money for a big man, so he looked at Liu Bei's high income, but he could share it one by one, and there were gaps everywhere.

Especially when the finances have decided to tilt the war reserves, Liu Bei can't open the back door for these two brothers, and he can't spend so much money.

Chapter 555 It's not suitable for children

"Many powerful weapons have been developed by the weapons factory, which can increase the combat power of the army to five levels or more..."

"Many horses in the army have hidden wounds and must be replaced..."

"Many weapons have cracked and can no longer be used..."

"..."

Guan Yu took the trouble to talk about the shortcomings in the army. Generally speaking, money is needed. Many things have clearly marked prices. Even Guan Yu must use money to get them. Whether it is weapons or horses, they are all expensive things. With an army of one million, if you move casually, the money you need is an astronomical figure.

The second brother Guan can't do anything about it. The Ministry of Finance doesn't let in oil and salt. The dignified general and the second brother of the emperor don't have a good face. The imperial edict, just give money.

"The replacement of weapons and the purchase of war horses are all calculated in the military expenses. Why do you need to come and ask for them?" Liu Bei was also furious. If he had a small amount of money, Liu Bei would not be unreasonable, but Guan Yu would ask for millions of taels of silver. .

Guan Yu put on a bad face and said, "Insufficient."

"Nonsense!" Liu Bei said angrily immediately, "Previously, more than [-] troops were suspended, and countless soldiers and horses were withdrawn. Why is it not enough? If you can use it, use it, and it can be wasted."

Guan Yu still looked like you and me, and said calmly: "The new armor is several times stronger than the original armor, so it should be replaced."

"You..." Hearing Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei was speechless for a while, you can change it if you say so, it is the equipment of a million-strong army, and it can bankrupt Liu Bei with one move, okay? The factory only charges the cost, and it is impossible for a million-strong army to replace all their equipment.

The reason why Liu Bei is able to equip millions of troops now is the accumulation of nearly ten years, and some of them are replaced every year, but now Guan Yu is changing the equipment of the entire army at once as soon as Guan Yu opens his mouth, and the entire Liu Bei Group cannot support it.

The most important thing is that Guan Yu wants to buy many powerful siege weapons besides replacing all the equipment. Those weapons are frighteningly expensive, and because the weapons factory belongs to the big man, that is, Liu Bei's own industry, so only the cost price is needed.

But it also needs money. Without money, weapons factories can’t produce weapons. Many things need money to buy, no matter labor costs or material costs, they all need money.

There is no such thing as heavy-duty machine tools in this era, and everything needs to be done manually. It is impossible to support the weapons and equipment of the Liu Bei Group's million-strong army without tens of thousands of laborers. All of these require money.

Guan Yu also refused to accept Liu Bei, and wasting his life like this was not an option. Liu Bei knew Guan Yu very well, and the weapons provided by the weapon factory must be so good that Guan Yu could not extricate himself, otherwise Guan Yu would not have come to pester him so shamelessly.

"This matter should not be settled lightly. You will go to find Ziming in a few days. What kind of weapons the military ordered and how much they ordered must be approved by Ziming." In the end, Liu Bei left the matter to Chen Ziming helplessly, and Chen Ziming was able to suppress it. Guan Yu has such a bad temper.

And Chen Ziming knows more about these things, unlike Liu Bei, who spends all his energy on handling government affairs, he is really not good at weapons, and Chen Ziming knows the current situation of the big man, so he will not spend money indiscriminately.

"Yun Chang, come back in a few days, don't disturb Ziming's rest." Seeing Guan Yu turning his head and leaving, Liu Bei was speechless for a while, and hurriedly told Guan Yu a few words.

After Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's order, he paused slightly, and then nodded without looking back, indicating that he had heard it.

Seeing this, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reacted quickly just now. Otherwise, Guan Yu would have gone to find Chen Ziming now, telling Chen Ziming how to rest, and he was not in a hurry about the weapons.

"Brother, I'll just go and find Ziming in a few days, so I won't bother you."

Guan Yu left, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up, said goodbye to Liu Bei, and was about to go out.

"Stop." Liu Bei was furious, everyone was upside down, I can't do anything with Guan Yu, and I can't deal with you Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was stopped by Liu Bei, so he quit immediately, and immediately said: "Second brother, you can go to Ziming, why can't I go, Ziming promised to form a heavy cavalry army for me."

"Yide is going to mess around." Seeing Zhang Fei's agitation, Liu Bei immediately said sternly: "If you want to lead the heavy cavalry, I will give it to you as a brother. Don't disturb Ziming about this matter."

"Really?!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, and excitedly asked Liu Bei for confirmation.

"I can't lie to you, brother." Liu Bei said speechlessly, "Dianwei's [-] soldiers and horses will be under your command, and you will go to Yun Chang to ask for it."

"Very good!"

After Zhang Fei heard this, he ran out excitedly. He came here for the matter of the heavy cavalry army. At the beginning, Chen Ziming agreed to let him form a strong heavy cavalry army, but there are [-] legions for one point, without Zhang Fei What's the matter, for this matter, he made trouble for Liu Bei a lot.

"This Yide..." Seeing Zhang Fei go away, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, and at the same time smiled happily, Dianwei's army was prepared for Zhang Fei, which was discussed by Liu Bei and Chen Ziming, but it has never been Tell Zhang Fei, I didn't expect Zhang Fei to block the door directly.

"Huh!" Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei's intention, and said coldly: "The soldiers and horses have already been mobilized, and they are stationed in Dongqiu. You go to receive them. Don't disturb the people, don't drink alcohol in the army, and don't beat the soldiers. , you will not be allowed to lead the army in the future.”

"I know!" After hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei didn't want to wait any longer, and went to receive soldiers and horses.

At this time, Guan Yu suddenly grabbed Zhang Fei and said, "The soldiers and horses are all ready, but the armor is lacking. You can go to your elder brother to ask for this matter."

When Zhang Fei heard this, he quit. He had brought heavy cavalry before. What is the most important thing about heavy cavalry is armor. Without armor, is it still called heavy cavalry? Let him ask Liu Bei for it. Aren't you uncomfortable looking for it? Immediately said: "Brother said, look for Ziming for Bingjia's matter, let's go look for Ziming together in a few days."

Zhang Fei is not stupid, what's the use of going to Liu Bei, anyway, Liu Bei has already left the matter of Bingjia to Chen Ziming, Chen Ziming is much more talkative than Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei thinks that he has a good relationship with Chen Ziming, Chen Ziming will definitely do it help.
