Lin Ze read Guo Jia's letter. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were really fierce. They first captured Hengjiang and Dangli, crossed the river, captured Moling, defeated Zuo Rong and Xue Li, and then captured Hushu, Jiang Cheng, these places are just a few hundred miles south of Shouchun. Now Guo Jia is in Yangzhou and has completely taken over Yangzhou City.
Liu Yao had a great fight with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce in Qu'a County.
The battle between Liu Yao and Sun Ce was actually a confrontation between Guo Jia and Zhou Yu.
Lin Ze knew what Zhou Yu was thinking. He felt that Liu Yao was a softie and did not dare to fight him. He wanted to enter Qu'a and force him away.
Now he should also understand that Liu Yao has himself behind him, and it is not easy to occupy Qu'a and use it as a springboard to attack Yangzhou City.
If the normal historical trend follows, Danyang should also be Yuan Shu's territory. Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu still have a relationship, but he has changed the normal historical trend, and there is no possibility of getting involved in Danyang, let alone the possibility of having a relationship with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. , now Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are on a warship, and he has the only way to confront them.
In fact, Zhou Yu's current position is quite embarrassing. Small towns such as Hushu, Jiangcheng and Danyang are like a net carrying Qu'a. From a strategic perspective, Qu'a is like a big fish in the net. However, if they If they can't take down Qu'a, Qu'a is a sharp sword hanging above their heads.
It seems that Zhou Yu is easy to fight. They only have tens of thousands of troops and only a few cities, but that is not the case.
Everyone in later generations is well aware of Zhuge Kongming's "Longzhong pair", but few people know that there is another "Jiangdu pair" that also plays a decisive role in the world of Zhugelu.
As early as 192, Zhang Hong proposed Jiangdu to Sun Ce, and designed the development route for the next eight years from 192.
Zhang Hong's original words are: "Back then, the kings of the Zhou Dynasty were late, so Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin could rise to the occasion; once the royal family was at peace, the princes could only serve the Zhou Dynasty and fulfill their duties as ministers. You inherit the legacy of your late father, You are brave and good at fighting. If you can really live in Danyang and summon the troops of Wu County and Kuaiji, then Jing and Yangzhou can be wiped out, and revenge is just around the corner. Then you can rely on the danger of the Yangtze River and the strength of the Three Rivers to exert your might and sweep away the enemy. The achievements of the heroes who assisted the Han Dynasty will never be inferior to those of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, and they will surely be remembered for eternity."
Zhang Hong is a talent. Fortunately, he is in his hands now.
A map of Yangzhou appeared in Lin Ze's mind. Yangzhou is a very big place with six counties. Now only Yangzhou County and Qu'a County are his territory.
If he attacks Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, if he loses, Yangzhou will be his. If he wins, the whole territory of Jiangdong will be as big as the Yangtze River. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu still have a mass base there. If they fight guerrillas with you, they will fight no matter what. Not winning.
To destroy Jiangdong is a protracted battle and can only be advanced steadily.
Lin Ze murmured: "It seems that we can make a fuss about Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang. If Sun Ce wants to stabilize his power, he must capture Lujiang. Write a letter to Guo Jia. I will send the Snow Leopard Regiment of 10,000 men to Lujiang in the near future. , strengthen the defense of Lujiang City, retract the head of Qu'a, we will defend it, and do not engage in land expansion. Let's see where he will go if he can't capture Qu'a, and if he can't capture Lujiang. Tell Fengxiao, before we capture Xuzhou, No expansion.”
Lin Ze's body recovered quickly. For seven days, he ate all the medicinal food. His blood energy was quickly replenished and his weight also increased. Lin Zejing was 1.78 meters tall. His original weight was 150. When I was thin, I was one hundred and one, but now I have increased to one hundred and two, and I am still too thin.
If you want to reach your peak state, you still need thirty kilograms of weight, and the difference between the front and rear should not exceed three kilograms. One more point will affect your flexibility, and one less point will mean you lack strength.
Although he was full of energy now, it was really hard to carry the bright silver gun.
Now that I can go out, my legs are weak, so I ride in a carriage.
Today was the day to meet with a group of civil servants and generals. Lin Ze went to the Martyrs Cemetery in advance. There were 30,000 neat tombs. There was also a mausoleum next door, which was the tomb of war horses.
Lin Ze got off the carriage and walked slowly among the tombs, reaching out to touch their tombstones. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. In later generations, he had participated in countless battles, and the total casualties of our army were less than a hundred. However, in this era, in a short period of time, So many soldiers have been sacrificed in just a few years.
War is about killing people.
Lin Ze was strolling inside, and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Gong, Jin Xuan, and Wei Yan all came.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are known as the two brothers of Soochow. This is the first time for Lin Ze to meet them. Zhang Zhao looks very honest and wise, but Zhang Hong is thin and shrewd. In order to give them a sense of belonging, Lin Ze takes the first place. The sentence is: "There is a lot of buzz in this area of Yuzhou, and the two gentlemen are called Yuzhou Erzhang. It is really a blessing for the people that my area can be governed by these two gentlemen."
Zhang Zhao bowed to Lin Ze and said: "My lord, your series of strategies to enrich the people have opened my eyes. I have not made any contribution."
Zhang Hong also said: "My lord exempted from agricultural taxes and relied solely on salt, iron, animal husbandry and other industries to maintain military expenses, salary and daily expenses of the house. It is really a great initiative, and it is also eye-opening for me."
Lin Ze couldn't walk any longer, so he found a random place to sit down in the mausoleum and said, "Originally, I should have visited the two gentlemen in person. This was not a battle in Hebei. It was a bit miserable. I haven't recovered yet." come over."
Zhang Zhaodao: "The great governance in Yuzhou is all due to the lord's hard work and fear of hardships. It is truly a blessing for such a lord to have us following him."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Sir, you are wrong. The great governance in Yuzhou is not due to me, but to Jian Lan, Liu Que, Niu'er, Sanwazi..."
Lin Ze read out a string of names, and Zhang Zhao looked around. He found that Lin Ze could accurately call out every name on the tomb. Zhang Zhao was moved. For the sacrificed warriors, this young lord Shang If he can do this, let alone the living people below, he is really destined to follow him in this life.
Lin Ze said with a smile: "Okay, we are all a family, and we will not say compliments as a family. Moreover, the whole Yuzhou side can work as one, thanks to Mr. Gongtai, who prints publications and liberates the people's minds. We do this together." It's really good that Mr. Gongtai has been very kind to the five million people in Yuzhou."
Chen Gong was flattered when he heard Lin Ze's praise. He bowed to the end and said, "My lord's thoughts are unique and effective. I just did some specific things based on my lord's thoughts."
"Sir, I'm overly modest. I have one more thing for you to do. We have fought many battles over the years. The Langya Regiment destroyed Ruyang's reinforcements, the Jiaolong Regiment defended the city, General Huang Zhong defended the city, and Xu Ziwu crossed the White Horse Field Battle. Killing tens of thousands of enemies, their tactics have experience that other teams can learn from. Mr. Gongtai, from now on, I will hire you as the governor-general of the army. Although Xu Mao, Ma Wu and others are the military commanders of the regiment, you are more important than They are more knowledgeable and understand tactics better. You are responsible for teaching them the art of war and tactics. I wonder if this will insult you?"
Chen Gong was even more flattered when he heard this. He had seen Lin Ze's domineering and combat prowess. How could he be so polite to the corporal, how could people not panic? How could the Governor-General, who was the chief instructor of the entire army, humiliate himself? He was just worried about himself. I don't have enough ability to do this for my lord, but my lord has given me a direction to integrate excellent tactics and let everyone learn from each other. This job is effortless and can make me famous all over the world, so why not do it?
Jin Xuan does not have too many tasks, which is the construction of Xunfang City.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong both went to observe and felt very uncomfortable. Zhang Zhao said bluntly: "My lord, the whole country of Han Dynasty is in despair. The construction of Xunfang City is a land of extravagance and extravagance. Why would my lord build such a city that combines wine, sex and wealth?" An integrated city? It may corrupt the social atmosphere."
Lin Ze knew that they would definitely ask these questions, because the people in front of him were all loyal and direct ministers. If the world was stable, they would all be able to govern the country.
Lin Ze said: "I know what you are thinking. Looking back, after I brought Jin'er out of Luoyang, I was living under various conspiracies all the time. Everyone in the world looked at my spine like knives. The enemy in front of me , I have never been afraid, even if it is a million-strong army, I do not take it lightly. However, what is terrible is the hidden arrows behind my back. As long as I am slightly negligent, I will lose everything. The siege of Shouchun is a lesson learned from the past.
If I lose, the princess, gentlemen, and my generals, soldiers, and people will all be in ruins. Therefore, I must use some tricks. The purpose of Xunfang City is to attract the world's dignitaries and wealthy families, and let them take over. Spit out the money and spit out the power. As for the social atmosphere, the people cannot afford to go. If the civil and military officials and soldiers in Yuzhou want to go, they will be killed immediately. "
Lin Ze raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Those families who truly have a strong heart and a righteous heart will not take the initiative to go to that kind of place, don't you think so?"
Zhang Zhao was persuaded by Lin Ze and bowed to Lin Ze: "My lord, not only has a long-term vision, but also sees deeply. I admire you!"
"Thank you for your understanding!" Lin Ze put his eyes on Wei Yan and said, "Sun Ce is invincible and unstoppable in Jiangdong. The most important reason is that there are no heroes in Jiangdong. Except for Qu'a who is in our hands, Wu Jun's Yan Baihu and Wang Lang in Kuaiji are okay, I have sent the Snow Leopard Regiment to Lujiang. Do you have any other strategies to better limit Sun Ce's development?"
Wei Yan had been paying attention to Lin Ze's use of troops. When Lin Ze asked him, he responded neatly: "My lord, the terrain in the east of the Yangtze River is complex and there is the Yangtze River. Unless we have no worries, we can sweep the cities one by one and occupy the entire city." Jiangdong is definitely faster than Sun Ce. However, given that Cao Cao is eyeing the north and the situation in Xuzhou is unclear, my lord's layout at this time is the most perfect. However, the Snow Leopard Regiment went to Lujiang and no one was stationed at the Jingzhou Pass. I am worried that Liu Biao will treat us Take action."
Lin Ze didn't expect this and said, "Is it possible? Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. No matter what, he will always consider the issue on Jin'er's side."
Wei Yan said: "The last general is willing to lead five thousand elite troops to garrison Xiakou to ensure that not a single Liu Biao soldier can pass through."
"No, I asked you to come over because there are other important things. Liu Biao's side, well, it's not okay if you don't block it, but there is no one available for you yet."
Wei Yan said: "My lord, Taishi Ci is a fierce general. Forgive me for being blunt. Staying with the military advisor as a guard is overkill..."
