Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 313
After pacifying Qiaojiazhuang, Zhao Lei returned to Lujiang County with his army.According to the previous agreement, Zhao Lei continued to designate Qiao Xuan as the owner of Qiaojiazhuang, and let him be in charge of everything in Qiaojiazhuang.But this time Zhao Lei sent Gao Shun to guard Lujiang to monitor Qiao Xuan's every move in Qiao's Village.Under the suppression of Gao Shun's Lujiang troops, Zhao Lei guessed that Qiao Xuan would not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.Although Qiao Xuan chose to stay in Lujiang, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao left with Zhao Lei. Da Qiao and Zhao Yun were engaged, so Da Qiao didn't want to part with Zhao Yun at all. .Since Xiao Qiao worshiped Zhou Yu as his teacher, she has been inseparable from Zhou Yu.Discussing the art of war and strategy day and night, determined to become a female counselor as soon as possible.

At this moment, on the Yangtze River, hundreds of warships are fighting in the same room, advancing hand in hand.Under the leadership of Zhao Lei, thousands of Yangzhou Army soldiers are crossing the longest river in the Central Plains.

"The wind gusted the sky and the high monkey wailed, and Nagisa Qingsha and the white bird flew back.

The endless fall of the trees, the endless Yangtze River rolling in.

Wandering With Melancholy, a century on stage alone and sick.

Difficulty and bitterness hate the frosty temples, and the down and out new stop the dirty wine glass. "

Looking at the majestic Yangtze River, Zhao Lei recited Du Fu's poems from the bow of the boat, expressing his admiration for the majestic river.At the same time, the Yangzhou Army finally returned to Jiangdong after several fierce battles.At this time, Zhao Lei, who owns Shouchun, Lujiang, Moling and Wujun, has successfully connected his base Wujun with Shouchun in Jiangbei.Among the six counties in Yangzhou, Zhao Lei's territory also accounted for two-thirds.As long as he finally occupies the boundaries of Chaisang County and Kuaiji County, Zhao Lei will be able to truly control the entire territory of Yangzhou in his own hands.

After driving on the Yangtze River overnight, the army arrived at Taiping Port on the border of Moling on the second day.The twilight is dim, the setting sun is like blood, and the sunset on the Taipinggang River is like a gold-rimmed sunset. At this time, it is perfectly round and radiant, piercing the eyes like a dream, so unreal.The last ray of the setting sun hit the ground and merged with the dim yellow desert, the golden light was shining brightly, swallowing the sky and fertile sun.And just when the setting sun was gradually falling in the west, the shadow of the ship was finally reflected on the river surface, and under the reflection of the setting sun, the shadow of the ship gradually became clear.

"Military Master, the lord's fleet has arrived." Xu Chu looked at the shadow of the boat slowly approaching by the river, and said to Zhang Han.

Wearing a purple robe, Zhang Han stroked his back with both hands and nodded towards Xu Chu, indicating that he saw the fleet.

After landing, Zhang Han led Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Wen Chou to welcome Zhao Lei's return.

"Man, you are so powerful. By the way, how did you capture Moling? I heard that our Yangzhou army had an overwhelming advantage when they attacked the city! Hahaha~!" Zhao Lei hooked up with this man. , seems very casual, and on this occasion, he has no scruples about etiquette, and he doesn't look like a lord at all.

Zhang Han smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Lei, go back to Moling first, and I will tell you slowly."

Moling City is now under the governance of Zhang Han for a few days, gradually getting rid of the smog of Liu Yao's previous governance, and for Jianye's special geographical location, it connects the states of Wu and Chu, and connects the borders of Qi and Lu in the north.The mountains and rivers inside and outside the city are in shape, and the water and land are key points.Yu painted it as Yangzhou, and Zhou named it Chu.The posture of stacking lying cows is according to the center of Wuji in the upper realm; the shape of Cui Wei crouching with tigers is like the 28 constellations in the sky.There are three spring willows on Jinming Pond, and four seasons flowers beside Shizigang City.The land where fish and dragons change for hundreds of thousands of miles, where more than a hundred military states converge.Auspicious clouds envelop the purple pavilion, and the auspicious atmosphere shines on the tower.Such an important city also allowed Zhang Han to vigorously develop it after capturing the city, accepting refugees who fled during the war, and at the same time increasing the population base of the city.

After the four battles in Yangzhou, namely the Battle of Shouchun, the Battle of Shiting, the Battle of Lujiang, and the Battle of Moling, Zhao Lei expanded his territory in Yangzhou a lot.Rather than saying that this war is to annex Yangzhou, it is more to increase its own strength.Because in this era, land represents strength.Only when the land area is large can the national strength be developed rapidly.

At the same time, in these four battles, Zhao Lei also gained a lot of civil servants and military generals, the first to bear the brunt was Zhou Yu, the beauty of Lujiang, Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief, Jin Machao, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, Qiao Xuan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, horse merchant Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, plus Song Xian, Chen Dao and others who were recruited from the war against Dong, this time a series of battles recruited many talents, and in terms of weapons and food , The hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass harvested in Qiaojiazhuang can sustain the food of all the people in Lujiang for two years, and can also maintain the rations of Zhao Lei's army for half a year.In terms of weapons, Qiaojiazhuang's warehouse has contributed a lot. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of arrows contributed by Zhang Chun and Ou Xing, Zhao Lei has also accumulated a certain amount of inventory in weapons and equipment.In terms of horses, Zhao Lei also successfully found a "sponsor" for his Yangzhou army to provide horses at Anfengjin Port. Ma Chao's cavalry troops will be able to recruit cavalry troops wholeheartedly without worrying about the number of horses in the future.Overall, this is the positive message that can be drawn from these wars.

However, in so many wars, many problems of the Yangzhou Army have also been exposed.Bear the brunt of the problem is the weak force.Now Zhao Lei is no longer the little prefect when he was in Changshan, managing more than one city.If you only guard one city alone, more than ten thousand soldiers are enough.However, Yangzhou has a vast land and abundant resources, and it would take a lot of troops to send people to guard some cities.For example, in Lujiang County and Shouchun County in Jiangbei, Zhao Lei retained 5000 troops from Zhang Xi and 3000 from Gao Shun respectively.Originally, when Zhao Lei first came to Shouchun, there were more than 8000 people. Now after crossing the Yangtze River and coming to Moling, there are only 1 people left. Adding the [-] people in Wu County in Zhang Han's hands, it is only two Never.Now Liu Biao and Liu Bei in Jingzhou are eyeing up, and they are hoarding heavy troops in Xiakou. Considering the [-] troops in Lujiang, it is indeed a bit stretched.Zhao Lei will definitely send troops to reinforce Lujiang again. In this way, the troops in Moling and Wujun will be greatly reduced.Yangzhou has not yet been fully unified, and the Yangzhou army is bound to have a head-on conflict with the local Shanyue barbarians when they collect Chaisang and Kuaiji. Therefore, the problem of insufficient troops has already been put on the table, which is obvious.

The second problem is the issue of establishing the capital city. Originally, when Zhao Lei left Wu County, he still wanted to use Wu County as his base, but from the current strategic point of view, Wu County is far away from the Central Plains, and if Jiangbei's When the city was harassed by the enemy, it seemed a bit rushed to rescue from Wujun.Moling is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which has natural geographical advantages and transportation advantages. It connects to Wu County and reaches Beiyang (northern Yangzhou).Rescue and dispatching troops are the best place for the capital, so the relocation of the capital is also a top priority, and it must be done as soon as possible.

The third question is the overall development of Yangzhou, including agriculture, commerce, popular sentiment, science and technology, and so on.Zhao Lei and Zhang Han are time travelers, possessing advanced ideas and management concepts that the ancients did not have in this era. It is entirely feasible to apply modern technology to ancient times.If the wisdom of modern people can be combined with the diligence of ancient people, Yangzhou might be able to develop into a leader in the Central Plains and Kyushu, and it will also lay a good internal affairs foundation for Zhao Lei to compete in the Central Plains in the future.

Above the hall, when Zhang Han put forward a few opinions other than the third one, everyone discussed and expressed their opinions on the content they are good at.The generals talked too much about the Yangzhou army's recruitment of troops and the establishment of cavalry and navy.The civil servants make suggestions for some internal affairs.The hall became like a noisy market amidst the chattering words of the crowd, very lively.

"My lord, my subordinates believe that before this, the lord still needs to finish the matter of moving the capital now, and then officially announce to the world that he will take over Yangzhou, and confer the official positions of various officials in Yangzhou. This will not only show the lord's Yangzhou The name of the governor is justified, and it can also let the people of the world see that there is still a wise master in Yangzhou, so that they can serve him one after another. Also, when he first entered Wu County, Mr. Ju’s proposal of gathering talents can also be implemented. Now Yangzhou The situation has stabilized, and we don't have to worry about the enemy's traitors sneaking in. Even if they sneak in, they won't be able to cause any big waves. So recruiting talented people is also the top priority of our army." Jia Xu said at this time.

Hearing Jia Xu's opinion, Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Okay. Just follow what Mr. Jia said. But so many things can't be done at once. We just pacified Yangzhou, and we have to take it step by step, lay a solid foundation, and make a living every step of the way. .”

"My lord is wise!" Everyone in the hall said.
