Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115
"Shouchun was the old capital of the Chu Kingdom in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Although it is now occupied by thieves, its heritage still exists. The place where the elites of the Jianghuai River are located is extremely prosperous. In the future, my lord defeats the Yuan thieves and should return to Shouchun. Isn't it better than the land of Jiangdong? "Although Yu Fan supports Bai Tu, he belongs to the Shouchun faction on the issue of moving the political office.

Lu Su retorted after hearing this: "Yu Changshi's words are wrong. King Kaolie of Chu moved the capital from Ying to Shouchun in order to avoid the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, after moving the capital, the country's fortune declined in three years. In 20 years, he was destroyed by Qin..."

"Zijing's words have gone too far. How can the disputes between princes in the pre-Qin period be regarded as the same as today? Since the rebellion of Dong and the thieves, Guanzhong has been exhausted. Li Jue and Guo Si have been trapped in it. On the contrary, the Central Plains is He is the heart of the world. If your lord wants to help the Han Dynasty, how can he not look north to the Central Plains?" Lu Kang was also of the Shouchun sect.

At this time, everyone was very restrained in their speech. No matter what they thought in their hearts, their mouths were full of Han Dynasty milk.

"In the land of the Central Plains, Cao Ahao welcomes the emperor, and Liu Xuzhou has a good relationship with his lord. They all want to help the Han Dynasty, so why should my lord argue with them? On the contrary, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, relying on his clan status, has often acted arrogantly. If you lift up and cultivate your reputation, it will cause great disaster!" Chen Gong said at this time.

After hearing this, everyone here looked at Chen Gong a few more times - you are indeed Chen Gongtai, telling lies with your eyes open. If you hadn't called Cao Cao by his nickname when he was a child, we would have almost believed you!

Bai Tu is firmly in the upper seat now, let everyone speak freely first.

After all, the relocation of the administrative center is also the center of governance in the future. For a force, it is as important as establishing a successor.

Once upon a time... no, "from now on" there was a founding emperor named Zhao Kuangyin. He wanted to move the capital, but the officials did not agree to move it, and then he died.

Of course, now Bai Tu is just moving to Yangzhou. Although there are internal conflicts of opinion, they are not that intense. It is just everyone's idea, and it is better to talk it out.

Moling is on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It can be said that choosing Shouchun and Moling also means that the subsequent strategic focus will be on looking at the Central Plains or focusing on Jingchu.

Although Chen Gong is telling lies with his eyes open, the central idea has been made clear - I can't stand Cao Cao, but I don't think I should be an enemy of Cao Cao now.

What seems to be a dispute between Moling and Shouchun is actually a strategic difference between looking north to the Central Plains and west to Jingchu.

Bai Tu himself belongs to the "Jinling Sect". After Huainan is recovered, Bai Tu wants to go to the court and restore the name of Jinling - as for "Jianye", forget it!Sun Quan changed the name to "Jianye". It was after the Battle of Chibi, and now it is called Jianye... What achievements and achievements do you want to accomplish?Isn't it too blatant?

"Youping, change the map to another one." Bai Tu said to Zhou Tai while the two sides were debating.

The map originally hanging behind Bai Tu was mainly from the perspective of Jiangdong and Huainan, with Jingzhou in the west, the Central Plains in the north, and Jiaozhou in the southwest, which had little presence.

Whether you choose Moling or Shouchun, it is nothing more than the strategic focus in the future. Choosing Jingchu or the Central Plains, there seems to be no problem in hanging this map.

However, the map that Zhou Tai replaced next was much larger and simpler. The "Tianyuan Yizi" in the center is the Guanzhong area, which is divided into "Tongguan", "Wuguan" and "Sanguan" in the southeast and northwest. , the land of Sanqin surrounded by "Xiao Pass" - the Qin State started from here.

This map not only outlines few details, but also highlights important rivers and passes.

In the upper part, you can see a huge "J" shaped river, which is the Yellow River.

The part wrapped in the middle of "Ji" like a "cover" is the so-called "Hetao". After the chaos of the Han Dynasty, the Hetao area is now an active area of ​​the Southern Huns and Qiang.

The white map does not include any fictitious stuff. It directly states the words "Southern Xiongnu" and "Zhu Qiang". Everyone here is our own people. There is no need to take care of the Han Dynasty's face and whitewash peace on the map.

Guanzhong is almost directly below the word "ji", slightly to the right.

The left side of "俿" in the character "ji" is "Hexi". Now Hexi Xianbei is mainly active here, but along the southwest to northwest of Hexi, there is still a small narrow strip controlled by the Han Dynasty, that is The "Hexi Corridor" has been connecting the Western Regions west of Hexi. This generation is "Xiliang", that is, Liangzhou.

Below "俿" is Hanzhong and Bashu, and to the east of the junction of the two is "Guanzhong".

None of the above matters now.

If two dots are added to the right side of the word "ji", it will be regarded as the word "fly", then the location of these two points is exactly "Hebei", which is where Qingjiyou merges four states. The northernmost point is "you". The following is from "Bing", "Ji" and "Qing" from west to east.

As for the top horizontal line further north, it is not Hebei, but Heshuo.

Below "Fei" is "Henan", the Central Plains region in a narrow sense, which is the three states of Yan, Yu and Xu that are roughly shaped like "pin". The top is "Yanzhou", and the bottom is Zuoyu and Youxu.

In the south of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, there is also a thick river - the Huaihe River.

The south of the Huaihe River is Huainan. To be precise, the "south of the lower reaches of the Huaihe River" is called "Huainan". The south bank of the upper reaches of the Huaihe River is the northern part of Jingzhou. The common name is "Jingbei", mainly Nanyang County and Nanjun.

Downward is naturally the Yangtze River. Because the lower reaches of the Yangtze River flow from southwest to northeast, the south bank of the lower reaches is called "Jiangdong". The southern part of the upstream is Jingnan, which is the four counties of Lingling, Guiyang, Wuling, and Changsha. The intersection of the Yangtze River, Jingzhou and Jiangdong is Jiangxia County.

Lu Su then pointed to the north of Guangwo and said: "The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is becoming increasingly clear. Although Gongsun Zan can rely on his literary and military skills, he is arrogant and has no consideration for the people. Forgetting the mistakes of subordinates...

Being a fierce general at the border is enough to intimidate the barbarians; but being a prince along the way is self-destruction. Although Yuan Shao also has his shortcomings, in terms of the way of princes, he is much better than Gongsun Zan.As for Zhang Yan and others, they are just suffering from scabies and it is difficult for them to compete with Yuan Shao independently.

Once Hebei fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, he would have four states and millions of households. Relying on the accumulated power of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there would be a large number of generals and advisors, as well as the advantage of You and Bing's war horses, which would be a disaster. It is so huge that its alliance with Cao Liu is just a piece of waste paper. How can we add insult to injury to the Central Plains at this time? "

Lu Su talked eloquently in front of the map, and what he said was nothing more than making everyone look forward to the entire "world" from the corner of "Jiangdong, Huainan, Central Plains, and Jingchu"!
If we just look at a map, whether we look north to the Central Plains or west to Jingchu, each has its own reasons.

However, from a broader perspective, the seemingly distant outcome of the Hebei dispute is the reason why the Lusu Railway Station "went westward to Jingchu"!

"Gongsun Zan was also a hero for a while, and Yuan Shao was just a concubine of the Yuan family. Even if... he wouldn't be able to tell the winner so quickly, right?" Lu Kang was a little confused about the situation in Hebei.

In his opinion, the Yuan family's legitimate sons were so deceitful, and the concubine should be even more deceitful. And Gongsun Zan's men were all elite troops who often fought against Wuhuan in Liaodong, so the two of them should have a [-]-[-] chance of winning.

"I used 'Chi Zhi' to deduce that Gongsun Zan is about to retreat to Youbeiping." Chen Gong said at this time.

Lu Kang and others also understood some of the abilities of "Chi Zhi" at this time, so they did not refute again.

Bai Tu was secretly thinking that the intelligence system must be established as soon as possible - he couldn't rely on Chen Gong's "Chi Chi" to deduce everything!It’s so unscientific!

The powerful families in Jiangdong had previously hoped that Bai Tu would be able to rejuvenate his life - in this way, Jiangdong would be their world again. This was a pattern that the local powerful people in Jiangdong were familiar with.

Although this was driven by selfishness, this level of selfishness was not repulsive to Bai Tu.

Even Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao and others understand that it is unwise to attack the Central Plains when Yuan Shao controls the four states. Anyone who has played Total War and Three Kingdoms knows that it is not wise to give the Central Plains and Guanzhong to the Central Plains at this time. If the princes put pressure on him, Yuan Shao would transform into a dog king.

In history, Cao Cao almost gave Yuan Shao a hostage. If Jianghuai puts more pressure on the Central Plains at this time, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will hold the princes of Guanzhong with his left hand and the princes of the Central Plains with his right...

When the time comes to analyze how many character flaws Yuan Shao has, it will all be empty talk. In the face of absolute strength, even if Yuan Shao is a pig, he can make Jiang Huai want to die!
