Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

After all the melon eaters left, Su Fei finally had a chance to speak.

He asked Gan Ning: "Brother Xingba, is it too hasty for three years to take shape as a naval division?"

Gan Ning's expression was very serious, "It's really a bit hasty."

Su Fei was surprised when he heard the words: "Then you still dare to boast about Haikou? If the navy doesn't meet their expectations, then I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our heads!" Brother, my brother!You can't just joke around with the head!

Although Gan Ning felt that it was a bit difficult, he didn't think he would fail.

"Don't worry, the worst thing for us is that the navy is smaller, but the navy can definitely be formed."

It made sense for Su Fei to think about it. Gan Ning did not say how many sailors he would eventually train.

"Huh..." Su Fei let out a long breath, and said, "It's a good thing you didn't block all the back roads..."

However, just when Su Fei was secretly rejoicing, Lu Yan suddenly came over and said, "Since you have already made a three-year agreement with Cao Gong, then train a qualified [-] sailors as soon as possible."

"Ah!" Su Fei's eyes widened, and he stammered, "But... but... Lu Hussar, we didn't... didn't say it was... a hundred thousand sailors... ah !"

Even Gan Ning couldn't decide, he leaned over to Lu Yan and said, "Sir, training 10 people in three years, isn't it too hasty..."

"Isn't it the three years you said?"

"But the general didn't say 10 people!"

Lu Yan stared at Gan Ning with a half-smile, and asked, "You want to play tricks?"

"The last general dare not!" Gan Ning said sharply.

"Since you dare not, then follow my advice and arrange all 10 people!" Lu Yan's tone was unquestionable.

In desperation, Gan Ning and Su Fei could only respond with wry smiles: "The last general...do your best."

"Navy training is urgent, but before the training begins, we need to make a major reform of the existing naval establishment!"

"Reform?!" Su Fei and Gan Ning looked at each other in surprise, and then asked in unison: "How to reform, sir, please show me!"

Chapter 425 Rebuilding Luoyang City

"How to reform the navy is a long story here..." Lu Yan paused for a moment and said to Gan Ning and Su Fei: "The manpower transferred from Xuzhou should come to Chenliu soon, plus the existing navy soldiers , There are a total of 5 people. You can train yourself first, and after ten warships have come out and boarded, you will take turns to operate and cooperate with the warships. At that time, we will discuss the reform of the navy."

Gan Ning and Su Fei felt that their hearts were being hung up and down, but Lu Yan refused to say more now, they could only suppress their curiosity, and clasped their fists and said: "The last general will obey the order."

The construction of warships and artillery is a long-term job, and the training of the navy is also a grind.As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake. Only by laying the foundation first can the building be built higher, and the navy can go further.

The first appearance of the three-masted battleship ended perfectly, but after that, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi became even busier.

The shipyard has been continuously expanding, and it is expected to build ten more docks; but after the first performance, Cao Cao made an extravagant investment, and now, the docks have to be expanded by another ten.

A total of [-] shipyards have to be started at the same time, and many more craftsmen, handymen, etc. are needed.

As a result, the shipyard began to expand its enrollment again, and there was another wave of artisan migration in the Central Plains, Hebei, and even the South, and Guanzhong.

For these trivial matters, Zhuge Liang is so busy every day that he never touches the ground.He is used to doing everything by himself. He has to manage personnel affairs and shipbuilding affairs. He even has to personally inspect the canteen food and accommodation of the craftsmen...

Look at the sailors.

The soldiers who were transferred from Xuzhou and knew some water skills also arrived at Chenliu's naval garrison one after another.Sima Yi was responsible for the basic necessities of life of the 5 navy personnel, logistics support, etc., and he was also so busy that the sun and the moon were dark.It's just that Sima Yi is willing to delegate power, which allows him to quickly gather a group of available talents and greatly reduce his workload.

......

When Cao Cao first annexed Xuzhou, Xuzhou had a population of less than 40 households.Although Cao Jun did not slaughter the city, he used various policies to attract many Xuzhou people to move to Yanzhou, resulting in a very serious population loss in Xuzhou.

But now Xuzhou, after several years of steady development, has already been reborn, and it is not what it used to be.

The birth of the common people, plus many refugees from other places who came to seek stability moved to Xuzhou, and now the population of Xuzhou has soared to more than [-] households.

As the second big state first controlled by Cao Cao, Xuzhou's agriculture is naturally very developed now, and its business is also very prosperous.

In terms of agriculture, in addition to the military and civilian settlements, the common people planted potatoes at home, and the government built water conservancy to teach the improved scientific planting methods to the common people. Today, there is no famine in Xuzhou or even the Central Plains.

In terms of business, in addition to the official Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce controlled by the Mi family and Mi Zhu, there are also dozens of chambers of commerce spontaneously formed by the people, large and small.

Xuzhou is an important place connecting the north and the south, and the caravans traveling between the north and the south on the main official road are often in groups.With more businessmen coming and going, Xuzhou's transaction tax, tolls, etc. will naturally rise.Today's Xuzhou, the annual tax revenue is also quite considerable, it is only slightly inferior to Yanzhou.

Since the implementation of the commercial tax, even Zhao Yan, the chief farmer, has never cried poor in front of Cao Cao.

With huge financial resources as support, Cao Cao wanted to fulfill his promise to Liu Xie to rebuild Luoyang, and Zhao Yan agreed without blinking an eye.

No way, nothing else is enough, but we just have a lot of money!

For Cao Cao to fulfill his promise to rebuild Luoyang City, Liu Xie was naturally delighted and excited.

Although the emperor has no right to speak, the country is always getting better.

In this feudal empire era where the emperor is the country, the country is thriving, powerful and prosperous, can history not leave a good review for the emperor of this country.What happened to the puppet?Doesn't the Donglin Party of later generations hope that the emperor will be a puppet emperor who can only stamp his seal?

Besides, Liu Xie can at least give some ideas on some things now, and Lao Cao's mentality is very stable now, and some innocuous things will follow Liu Xie to make trouble.However, the launch of the artillery not long ago made Liu Xie correct his position.

In fact, preparations for the reconstruction of Luoyang City began last year, but they have been planning some time ago, and the real start of construction was at the beginning of this year.

First of all, outside Luoyang City, the tomb where many dead people were buried had to be removed first.Otherwise, as soon as you leave the city gate, there will be a big cemetery, and it is estimated that many people will be scared out of their psychological problems.

Although the current population of Henan Yin is still far from the size before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, under the governance of Sima Lang, Henan Yin has gradually regained its vitality.

In recent years, refugees who fled in the past have returned to their hometowns, and Sima Lang has also taken in refugees from other places. The population of Henan Yin has also recovered to about 20 households.

When the plan to rebuild Luoyang was first proposed, there were not no voices of opposition from the court, especially Cao Cao's civilian and military voices who opposed it the most.

After all, Luoyang City was completely burned down by Dong Zhuo's fire. To rebuild the new city in situ, the manpower and material resources that would be consumed are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Now Xuchang has been expanded several times, both in terms of space and prosperity, it has surpassed Luoyang at the beginning, and it is completely enough to be used as a government. .

However, even though there were many voices of opposition, Cao Cao chose to rebuild Luoyang arbitrarily.

No matter how good Xuchang is, the meaning Luoyang represents cannot be replaced in a short time.After rebuilding Luoyang City, Cao Cao can once again gather a large number of people who love the Han people.

Lao Cao's authority now is greater than that of the emperors of many dynasties in the past.Now that he has made a decision, other people naturally can't object anymore. Anyway, they are spending money from Lao Cao's own pocket, and others just need to follow his orders.

In order to plan the new Luoyang City, most of the craftsmen who will be in charge, led by Geng Liang, were summoned to the palace.

Liu Xie is going to do it himself, starting from the design drawings, and will work with them to complete the construction of the new Luoyang city.

The craftsmen were able to get in touch with the emperor of the Han Dynasty at such a close distance. This was something they had never even dreamed of.

In order to make it easier for Liu Xie to draw design drawings, Geng Liang also deliberately introduced charcoal, one of the secrets of the prison, to Liu Xie.

Before the appearance of charcoal pencils, drawings were drawn with brushes.Brush drawing drawings not only have very high requirements on the artist's personal ability, but also cannot make mistakes in the middle. Once mistakes are made, the entire drawing will be completely abolished.

After switching to charcoal, not only can some tools be used to draw straight lines and circles, but also can be erased at any time even if the drawing is wrong, which can be said to greatly improve the work efficiency of the craftsmen.

As for the money to build Luoyang City, Liu Xie doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Because he knew that the current old Cao Fuyu could drip oil if he pinched it.

Chapter 426 The wind blows from Xiliang, and Ma and Han turn against each other!

The eighth year of Jian'an came quietly.

Throughout the seven years of Jian'an, there was rarely a war in the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Han Dynasty were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before he could catch his breath, the battle started again.

The battle this time did not take place in the Central Plains, but in Xiliang.

Without it, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned against each other!

This pair of brothers of the opposite sex, who seem to be intimate on the surface, have actually had their own minds for a long time.

Since the two followed Zhong Yao and Lu Yan to pacify Hedong and Bingzhou, they each received a very generous reward from the Han court.Whether it is fame or strength, he is already the well-deserved overlord of Xiliang.

In the past, when both of them were relatively weak, they had to join hands hand in hand.

But now the situation has changed.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two tigers, Han Sui and Ma Teng, gradually developed friction in the process of growing up, until they were wary of each other.

Han Sui is better at strategy than Ma Teng, so after joining forces in Xiliang, his power developed more smoothly than Ma Teng.

Ma Chao was left in the Central Plains by Lu Yan, and Ma Teng lost his most powerful military force, coupled with his natural inadequacy in strategy, he could only watch helplessly as his former little brother climbed over his head to do his best.

But Ma Teng was unwilling!He was eager to reverse the current unfavorable situation, so he thought of marrying Zhang Lu to win over a reliable force.

But Han Sui is not a fool. On the contrary, Han Sui, who is known as the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, and finally formed a tendency to suppress Ma Teng, how can he let Ma Teng get his wish?

Seeing the news from the shadow guards from Xiliang, Guo Jia murmured: "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured... But chaos in Xiliang is not a bad thing for us."

"But it doesn't seem to be messy enough now..." Guo Jia put the secret letter on the oil lamp and lit it, and then a slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why don't I come to help you!"

......

Xiliang is closed, and there are thousands of miles of yellow sand.

Standing on the city wall and looking around, it is either the desert or the Gobi, or the winding mountains and rivers or the endless prairie.

However, Xiliang is bordered by the Mongolian grassland to the east and the Qinghai-Tibet pastoral area to the west, and there is also a grassland with rich water and grass, which is suitable for farming and animal husbandry. It can be called a blessed land.Moreover, Xiliang is adjacent to the countries of the Western Regions in the north, the Loess Plateau in the south, and two thousand miles away from Pingchuan. It occupies an extremely important geographical location.

But no matter how good Xiliang is, it is still a barren place.The people are always on the verge of starvation, and they also have to beware of threats from alien races.

Various ethnic groups are mixed here, and the folk customs are tough, and many heroes have been born here.

However, because of the lack of enlightenment, there has always been a lack of counselors and ministers here.People like Jia Xu are rare and completely special cases.

Don't look at Han Sui and Ma Teng as the real overlords of Xiliang, but they also yearn for Guanzhong and the Central Plains. They always look forward to leaving Liangzhou and going to a more affluent place to enjoy a more prosperous world.

For many people in Xiliang, as long as they have the opportunity to leave, no one wants to return to that closed and bitter cold place, even though it was once the hometown that raised them.

But if you want to rush out of Liangzhou, you must first have enough strength.

However, whether it is Ma Teng or Han Sui, it is absolutely impossible for them to reach such a height by themselves.So the idea of ​​annexing his brothers who were evenly matched with him, and then monopolizing Xiliang, waiting for an opportunity to advance to Guanzhong, took root in Han Sui's heart and gradually grew stronger.

Ma Teng did not have much ambition because his son Ma Chao served in Cao Cao's army.At most, he just wanted to dominate Liangzhou in his heart.

But when Ma Teng felt a little ashamed for having such an idea, he never expected that Han Sui was more decisive and determined than Ma Teng!

Ma Teng is discussing with his family about marrying Zhang Lu, and a small school will come to report outside: "Report! My lord, something has happened!!"

Hearing this, Ma Teng strode up to Xiaoxiao and lifted him up, and asked, "Tell me, what happened?!"

The little principal tried hard to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and finally said in a dry voice that was about to smoke: "Report to the lord, Han Sui...Han Sui sent troops from Jincheng! Judging by his appearance, he seems to want to attack Anding! "

"What did you say?" Ma Teng was taken aback, and shouted, "Han Sui moved so fast?!"

Yang Qiu is a powerful entrenched in Anding County, which borders Sili.Compared with the bitter cold land farther west, Anding appears to be richer, and its location is also very important.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have long been coveting Anding County, because as long as they win Anding County, they can enter the land of Sanfu, and retreat to guard the entrance to Liangzhou.

Just when Han Sui led an army of [-] to reach the border of Anding County, a scout suddenly came to report, "Report! My lord! Something has happened!!"

The team was still marching, Han Sui saw that the scouts looked flustered, so he asked as he walked, "Why are you panicking?"

The scout followed Han Sui on horseback and replied: "The news I just found out is that Ma Teng raised his troops from Hanyang County (renamed Tianshui County during the Cao Wei period, and was assigned to Yongzhou), and the troops were directed at Anding County!"

Han Sui narrowed his fox eyes, and sneered slightly with disdain: "This Ma Teng seems to be trying to fight against us! I wrote to him specifically a few days ago, and as long as he doesn't interfere, I'm even willing All the four counties in Hexi were given over to him. I didn't expect that he promised well at the beginning, but now he has backed out!"

Yan Xing, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and other generals came to Han Sui's side and asked, "Master, what should we do now? Ma Teng sent troops from Hanyang, and he will reach Gaoping before us. If they take him Gao Ping, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us!"

Ma Teng sent troops from Tianshui, they will definitely arrive in Chang'an before us, if they take Chang'an, it will be bad for us. "

If Ma Teng captured Anding County and then blocked Beidi County, then Han Suike would really be completely cut off from his way out, and he would be ineffective every day.

Han Sui was not only thoughtful, but also cruel.

In order to realize his ambition, in a flash of his mind, he came up with a poisonous plan!

Han Sui half-closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

Just when his generals were about to jump in a hurry, Han Sui finally said: "The army heading to Anding County must not stop, but must speed up."

After finishing speaking, Han Sui looked at Yan Xing again and said, "Yanming, come here, I will give you a very important task now..."

When the old man spoke, Yan Xing naturally leaned over quickly and listened respectfully.

There was a gloomy smile on Han Sui's face, and he deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "Ma Teng sent troops, but his family must still stay in Hanyang. You lead the elite cavalry and go to kill Ma Teng's family. Arrest it for me, I don't believe that my family is in my hands, and Ma Teng won't retreat!"

Although the disaster was not as good as his family, Han Sui dared to do this.

Although Yan Xing was a little surprised, he still responded: "The last general takes orders!"

Chapter 427 Hello, My Name Is Zhang Meng (Zhan Meng)

Yan Xing took the order to go, and took his headquarters Jingqi halfway to Hanyang.
