The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 Jizhou
Qingzhou, Linzi City, Liu Bei's residence.

In the past few days, Liu Bei had a smile on his face, sweeping away the gloomyness before, and the sound of laughing came from Liu Bei's study from time to time.

"My lord, this is what Mr. Ziming ordered from Goguryeo!"

Just when Liu Bei was smiling and thinking about something happy, Chen Gong came in with a piece of paper.

"Gongtai, tell me quickly, what good news is there from Ziming?" During this time, Liu Bei received one after another news of success from Youzhou from Chen Ziming, first defeating Wu Heng, then Xianbei was repelled by Zhang Fei, and finally It was Zhao Yun who captured Marudu, the capital of Goguryeo, and the king of Goguryeo, King Shanshang.

"My lord, this time it's not a good report. You should read it yourself." After Chen Gong finished speaking, he handed the piece of paper to Liu Bei.

"This... Is there something lacking in Ziming's actions?" Liu Bei asked Chen Gong with a frown after reading the contents of the letter.

"My lord, do you have doubts because of Mr. Ziming's treatment of the King of the Mountain?" Chen Gong immediately saw what Liu Bei was worried about, and asked with a smile.

"However, Gao Yanyou, the king of the mountain, is the king of a country after all. According to the law of the Han Dynasty, it is reasonable to report to the emperor, and the emperor orders to deal with it. However, Ziming dealt with the king of the mountain first, and then reported it to the emperor. He was afraid of being offended." Today, the world is still ruled by the great Han. Although the emperor of the Han is not often blamed by the princes of all walks of life, the emperor is still the legitimate ruler of the Han.

And now Liu Bei himself knows that he has been too strong during this period of time, and has already aroused the hostility of the princes of the world.The princes of the world all hope to kill Liu Bei, and at this time, Chen Ziming's doing so will definitely give those people with bad intentions an excuse to attack Liu Bei.

"Haha, my lord is worrying too much, Mr. Ziming must have thought about this, but after this great battle, who would dare to be an enemy of my lord?

The foreign enemies in Youzhou have gone, only Yuan Shao's is the enemy of Mr. Ziming, and they are not far away. In this way, the lord is sitting on the land of the four states, with strong troops and horses, and the rest of the princes can't avoid it. How can he dare to offend the lord. "

There is one more thing that Chen Gong didn't say, that is, Chen Ziming wanted to use this opportunity to test the reaction of the princes of the world, to see how much loyalty they still have to the Emperor Han, and to indirectly attack the authority of the Emperor Han, and to push the Emperor Han again. Make him fall down sooner.

"Forget it, Ziming has his own thoughts, the king of a mere alien race, if you kill him, you will kill him." Liu Bei is not a loyal person, especially now that he is powerful and his inner selfish desires have begun to swell, some things are just pretending not to know That's all.

"Ziming wants Gongming to form an army of [-] troops for the Northern Expedition. Please support me with money, food and soldiers, and order the Anweifu Group to divide the northern branch so that it can be used only for the Northern Expedition. Gongtai, what do you think?" Liu Bei put aside the matter of the king of the mountain, and acquiesced in the king of the mountain's handling method, and began to ask about the Northern Expedition.

"My lord, there are many alien races in the north, and most of them plundered the Central Plains. Now that my lord has won Youzhou, I will definitely contact the alien races in the north. I made a plan early on. If it is feasible, I must destroy them." Chen Gong also supported the Northern Expedition. Yes, and Chen Gong didn't want to wait for Liu Bei and other princes to compete for power in the Central Plains in the future, and be restrained by the alien race in the north.

"Gongtai, the northern climate is cold, there is a lack of arable land, most of them live on nomads, and it is difficult to manage. Such a poor land will cost more money, food, and people. What is the use of it?" Liu Bei, like many Central Plains monarchs, felt that The north is vast and sparsely populated, and there is little arable land. Even if it is occupied, a lot of money and food will be spent every year to save the name of the north. It is better to let them submit to the big man. rule.

"My lord, do you ever remember Fuzhou occupied by the navy?" Chen Gong suddenly asked about Fuzhou above the sea.

"What's the meaning of Gongtai?" Fuzhou has only been occupied for how long. Although it has not been made public, Liu Bei's high-level forces know that the money and food consumed in Fuzhou every year is unknown, and Fuzhou is very meaningful. How could Liu Bei forget it.

"My lord, when Mr. Ziming sent people to occupy Fuzhou, because of insufficient money and food, he told Zi Zhong that he would give me one hundred thousand gold today and return you a mountain of gold next year.

Today, Fuzhou officials sent people to report that although Fuzhou has little arable land, it is mountainous and rich in minerals. Many gold and silver veins have been discovered, and a super large silver vein has been discovered. The reserves are unknown, and now people are starting to mine.

The lord thinks that Mr. Ziming's words may be inaccurate?Mi Zizhong even made a special trip to Fuzhou some time ago. After returning, he worked without sleep for several days and ordered people to make countless mining objects and transport them to Fuzhou.

I told you yesterday that next spring, you can bring back 30 gold and one million silver for my lord.And ask me for a large number of prisoners of war and criminals, and the land of Fuzhou will require a large number of absenteeism. "

After Chen Gong finished speaking, seeing Liu Bei's dumbfounded expression, he felt a lot more comfortable. He remembered that when Mi Zhu said that Fuzhou could produce so much gold and silver a year, it was not much better than Liu Bei now.

"Okay, okay... Haha, Fuzhou is really my blessed land. No one can match Ziming's foresight." After Liu Bei regained his composure, he burst out laughing excitedly.

"My lord, from this point of view, Mr. Ziming's proposal of the Northern Expedition must have its own purpose. Goguryeo has a large population, so it can be said that there are many soldiers.

Although the north is cold and bitter, the people in the north are good at fighting, and it is a land of strong soldiers. The lord occupies it, and it will be a great help for the future conquest of the Central Plains. "Chen Gong made a detour in order to better persuade Liu Bei to support Chen Ziming's strategy of the Northern Expedition.

Although Chen Gong didn't know what the real purpose of Chen Ziming's Northern Expedition was, from Chen Ziming's perspective, he would never make a loss-making business.

"Since this is the case, everything will be done according to Ziming's instructions, and I will order the Dark Guard Mansion and the Logistics Department to fully assist Gongming and prepare for the Northern Expedition." Although Liu Bei still didn't understand why Chen Ziming was so keen on capturing the northern land, Chen Ziming decided to If you do this, then support it. According to Liu Bei's point of view, what Chen Ziming wants to do is right.

Whether it was the establishment of the navy against all opinions, the cost of a lot of money, the military reform, or the establishment of a huge traffic arrest, all played a decisive role in the development of Liu Bei's power.

"My lord, according to the intention of the military adviser, the name of Goguryeo can no longer be used, another name needs to be set up, and the division and naming of its counties must also be set up separately. Please give me a name, my lord." When things come up, it is to make the word Goguryeo disappear.

"It is true that the name of Goguryeo cannot be used anymore. Its land is so vast that it can be regarded as a state. It is called Jizhou, which is known as the auspicious meaning of the Han Dynasty. As for the division of counties and counties, it can be handed over to Sun Shao and others.

It's just that the Jizhou clan should not all be executed. Those who have no serious crimes can confiscate their property and transport them to Fuzhou to settle down. Don't kill more people. In the end, Liu Bei rejected Chen Ziming's strategy of cutting the mess quickly, but it also added a lot of population to Fuzhou.
