Chapter 378 Triple Legion Resurrection Journey
One of Liu Hua and Xun Yu is his adoptive father, and the other is his most powerful arm. It is really difficult to decide, and the center can't help complaining about Zhuge Liang, this guy is too powerful.Government affairs, strategy, and military strategy are all so outstanding, no matter what he is asked to do, he feels inferior.

In addition to the dispute between Liu Hua and Xun Yu, he was very embarrassed, so he turned his attention to several other counselors for help.

First of all, Zhuge Liang was the chief culprit. Zhuge Liang shook his head with a sad face, and completely lost his mind. Even if he had predicted things like a god, there was nothing he could do when he encountered this kind of thing. Besides, he was still a newcomer, how could he decide where he would go?Anyway, he doesn't care, no matter where he is, he doesn't have to be careful, he can show his strengths beside Liu Hua and Xun Yu, he can say as many mistakes as he wants, so he just waits for Sun Can to make a decision.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang couldn't make a choice, Sun Can looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

Guo Jia's relationship with Liu Hua and Xun Yu is very strong, and he chose to wait and see in this matter, while Jia Xu is wise and wise, neither side will offend, and he is indifferent.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu were all staying out of the matter, Sun Can felt slightly annoyed, played together, and said in his heart: "Okay! Everyone pushes the problem to me, and I will make it difficult for you all."

Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Don't argue, the general has already made a decision."

After finishing speaking, his face straightened, and he said solemnly: "Zhuge Liang listened to the letter, thinking that you have both military and political integrity, and now I am entrusting you with the post of military advisor general and chief historian. Usually, I follow Yafu to handle military affairs. In my spare time, I help Young Master Xun's Mansion handles government affairs. For convenience, I will give you the mansion next door to Young Master Xun's Mansion for your convenience."

Afterwards, he glared at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and said, "Although I have been resting and recuperating for a long time, military affairs and intelligence must not be neglected. Marching and fighting, terrain is also one of the elements of victory. Now the maps our army has are long outdated, and many places The gully is not correct, so I think we should draw a more accurate topographical map of the great Han during our military training." He did not discuss with them, and directly appointed Jia Xu to do it, with a time limit of one year.At the same time, he transferred Guo Jia to Jiangdong to solve the hidden dangers in the southern Shanyue and persuade the Wuling Yi people to submit.

These were the things he had to do after summarizing the current situation. However, out of retaliation, he let Zhuge Liang take on two roles. The originally indefinite task was extended with a deadline, and the tasks of both were assigned to one person.

Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu were stunned by the series of instructions, and they all felt entrusted and inhuman when they looked at Sun Can with a sneer.

They each looked at each other and saw the sympathy and helplessness in each other's eyes. They knew that they would be busy in the future.

Although Sun Can's move felt a bit like revenge, but they all readily agreed.Because there is so much trust and the importance of the task in this "public revenge", they are willing to do it no matter how tired they are.

Of course, Sun Can would not play too far, but just imposed small punishments, deprived them of a little rest time, and did things for themselves, shamelessly saying that this was to exercise their talents.

Before ending the meeting, Xun Yu brought up another embarrassing matter.

Xun Yu said solemnly: "There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no heirs is the greatest. My lord works day and night for the big man. He either fights or stays in the government affairs hall at night. The days he spends with the mistress are so few that he has no heirs now. For the future For the continuation of the Sun family, I implore my lord to put the overall situation first, and let the subordinates and the ministers take care of the daily trivial matters."

Sun Can smiled wryly, some courtiers told the lord not to be obsessed with women, but he didn't expect that his head would turn the other way.I was secretly happy in my heart, that was fine, I felt a little ashamed of my two beautiful wives because I was busy, so with Xun Yu's words, I could let go of everything and relax.

This meeting determined Sun Canjun's future moves. With the promotion of the Salt Law, the irrigation of water conservancy in various places, and the implementation of the characteristics of the state capital have made the people busy. Everywhere is full of prosperity. This scene is absolutely impossible in every place. saw.

When Sun Canjun changed his approach and focused on economic development, Cao Cao and Liu Bei accelerated the pace of fighting for territory.

Two years later, the south ushered in another bumper harvest.

In the same chamber, the same five people are conducting a new round of military meetings.

Sun Can looked at the harvest on Xun Yu's table in his hand, "haha" and laughed loudly: "Two years ago, Kong Ming said that as long as he used his plan within a few years, our army's grain depot would be full. Doubt, looking at it today, it is as expected. In just two years, our army’s tax revenue has doubled, and our food has increased by [-]% compared to before.”

Two years later, Sun Can's appearance has not changed much, but after these two years of directing, there is a convincing unique majesty in every gesture.

Xun Yu was also very happy at the moment, and said with a smile, "Subordinates seldom convince others, but for brother Kong Ming's talent, I have to say 'submit'."

Zhuge Liang replied humbly, "I dare not."

Sun Can knew that Zhuge Liangai had done a lot of service in the past two years in training troops with eight formations and assisting Xun Yu in governing the territory, so he said with a smile: "Kong Ming, don't be pretentious, your military and political contributions in the past two years are obvious to all. , no one can take this credit away, I will present you to the imperial court, and plan to confer the title of Marquis of Mianyang on you, are you satisfied?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, he was very excited, he would be the No. 1 in the army within two years, although he was only the smallest Marquis of Ting, it was also a great honor, he was not greedy for a small title, but this title was right He affirmed his hard work in the past two years, and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward, my lord. The subordinates will do their best to serve the lord."

Sun Can said seriously: "Wen Ruo has had many contacts with the imperial court in recent years, and has gained a lot of benefits. It is not difficult to ask the imperial court for some titles. Besides, this is due to your merits, not randomly assigned by Sun. "

Then, Sun Can looked at Guo Jia, saw his brown face and said, "Feng Xiao, you have really worked hard for you these two years."

Guo Jia smiled lightly: "With my lord's words, Jia's hard work in the past two years is worth it."

Guo Jia was originally a white-faced scholar, but since he was ordered to go south to the south of the Yangtze River, he has been worrying about the tasks assigned by Sun Can. In order to persuade the Wuling Yi people in Samoco, he went to Wuling Mountain three times and stayed in the extremely hot Wuling Mountain for half a year. , and finally persuaded the head of the Wuling Yi clan to surrender.As soon as this matter was over, it happened that the mountains were in chaos, and the general trend was to plunder the villages in Jiangdong Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places.Therefore, Sun Can appointed him to assist Zhennan General Zhang Liao in dealing with Shanyue's aggression, and planned to resolve the future troubles.

This battle took a year, and with the help of Guo Jia, Zhang Liao went straight to Shanyue's lair to capture the king of Shanyue alive and force him to surrender.

Only then, Sun Can ordered Guo Jia to work with Zhang Zhao and Sha Moke to appease the Huairou, Youyu, Upbringing, and Assimilating horoscopes of the Wuling Yi people to deal with the unconvinced Shanyue people.

With the joint efforts of Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, and Sha Moke, Shanyue has begun to cultivate near Kuaiji, and some people have put aside their past grievances and are willing to accept their new identities.So far, Shanyue has been divided into three factions, the Tonghua faction, the second, the neutral faction, and the three independent factions.Among them, the neutral faction occupies the majority, and the self-reliance faction has no strength to launch a campaign.As long as you stick to the horoscope, I believe that more people will accept assimilation because of the benefits. Of course, this will not happen overnight, and time will prove everything.

It was here that Guo Jia's mission to the south came to a perfect end, and he returned to Xuchang after a long absence.In addition to bringing back the remarkable feats, he also changed his complexion because of the sultry heat in the south.

After listening to Guo Jia's speech, Sun Can nodded silently. It was a great blessing for him to have such an outstanding and loyal minister. I will seal you as the Marquis of Yingshang, and I hope Fengxiao will continue to work hard in the future to benefit the people."

Guo Jiagong took the order.

The achievements of the other three are not as outstanding as the two, but they are also very impressive. Sun Can also praised them a lot, and each of them was promoted.

The trifles are closed, and Sun Can enters the main topic of this meeting: enough money and food, soldiers waiting for the day, if they don't fight, when will they wait?

He glanced down and collected his thoughts.

In the past two years, his rivals Cao Cao and Liu Bei have shown amazing potential. In order to fight him, they are frantically expanding their territories.

Two years ago, Cao Cao ordered Sima Yi to use Ma Teng's daughter Ma Wenyuan to castrate Han Sui's only son, so that Han Sui would have nothing to do.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were sworn brothers. Ma Teng was a descendant of Ma Yuan, a general of Fubo in the Western Han Dynasty, who was very prestigious in Liangzhou, while Han Sui was originally an unknown person. .Later, there was a mutiny within Qianghu, and Han Suige killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, and assembled more than [-] soldiers from the three to besiege Guanzhong. Shock off the Great Wall.

Han Sui was Ma Teng's subordinate in name, but he formed his own army, and his power was not inferior to Ma Teng's at all. The eight cavalry under his command were all good fighters. The patriarchs of the Qiang nationality are like brothers and sisters, and their overall strength is still higher than that of Ma Teng.

But he is a hero with Ma Teng's bold temper, great affection, and never doubts his brothers.

There is an essential difference between the two in character.

Han Sui's intentions were not right, and his only son was eunuched, which made him vent his anger on Ma Teng.

He used his relationship with the Qiang tribe to collude with the Qiang tribe chiefs to borrow [-] Qiang soldiers, and then took advantage of Ma Teng's defenseless attitude towards him, and set up a Hongmen banquet to remove all Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Tie from Ma Teng's family who were defending Cao Cao on the front line. Captured, launched a mutiny, captured Wuwei, Xijun, Zhangye and other cities in one fell swoop, and secretly ordered his son-in-law Yan Xing to plan to capture Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Tie in the same way.

However, not wanting the news to leak out, Ma Chao personally beheaded Yan Xing at the banquet.

At that time, Ma Chao had only [-] cavalry, but the combined army of Han Sui and the Qiang had as many as [-], and his family members were hostages.

Confrontation is inevitable.

Ma Chao had no choice but to go to Chang'an to ask Cao Cao for help.

Cao Cao condemned Nengren and righteous men to rescue Ma Teng's family in secret, and then broke the alliance between Han Sui and the Qiang with Ma Chao's allied forces, and took Liangzhou in one fell swoop.

In order to repay Cao Cao's great kindness, the Ma family surrendered to Cao Cao and became Cao Cao's great helper.

And Liu Bei has also performed amazingly in the past two years. With the help of Pang Tong, he tricked Yuan Shao into tricks, trapped Yuan Shao in the hinterland of Youzhou, and bribed Lu Bu to take the heads of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shang before the battle. , As a result, Yuan Shao's army was leaderless, the whole army was in chaos, and those who were killed were defeated.The nearly 20 troops were all disbanded, and many surrendered.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Tian Feng supported Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, as the leader, and a few generals such as Zhang He, Gao Lan, Wen Chou and other generals gathered the remnants of the army to rise up to resist.In the end, they were defeated, Yuan Xi and Wen Chou died in battle, Tian Feng was captured and refused to surrender, and died on a hunger strike.With the help of Yuan Jun's elite "euphorbia warriors", Zhang He and Gao Lan stood out from the encirclement.They wanted to go to Yuan Tan, but on the way they heard that Yuan Tan secretly linked Liu Bei with his father, and they were inexplicably angry.

Yuan Tan wanted to accept Zhang He and Gao Lan, but they were unwilling to work under the villain's command, so they killed Yuan Tan's envoy.

Yuan Tan was furious, and ordered the troops to pursue and kill Zhang He and Gao Lan.

The two of them had no food to live on, and when they were enemies on both sides, if they didn't do anything, they simply surrendered Liu Bei.

Yuan Tan's notoriety was notorious, and the people's hearts were not preserved. He was driven back to Qingzhou by Liu Bei after three defeats in three battles.After acquiring Jizhou, Liu Bei immediately used excellent diplomatic means, using both soft and hard methods, and sent Chen Lin as an envoy to Bingzhou.

The senior officials of Bingzhou Mu are quite self-aware. They know that their tens of thousands of troops are no match for Liu Bei at this moment.So, he handed in the surrender form and gave up the position of Bingzhou shepherd.

In this way, Cao Cao obtained the important land of Liangzhou as he wished. The Zhengtun army confronted Jiange and the famous Xichuan general Zhang Ren, and Liu Bei replaced Yuan's and unified the North. I rushed back to Qingzhou.

Sun Can said: "You are all famous people in the world, and you can talk about the current situation in your heart. Just when our army is developing with peace of mind and fighting against Shanyue. Our army's powerful enemies Cao Cao and Liu Bei are gradually growing at an incredible speed. Our army poses a faint threat. The situation of one-third of the world is a foregone conclusion, which cannot be changed. This situation is the last result we want to see. If the situation is not broken as soon as possible, once Cao and Liu are interdependent, our army It will be even more difficult to unify the world in the near future.”

Xun Yu took Sun Can's words and said: "My lord's worries are just what my subordinates are worried about recently. Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei cannot be underestimated. Cao Cao not only owns the three prefectures of Si, Yong, Liang, and Hanzhong, but also the Majia Army in Xiliang. It is also owned by Cao Cao. At this moment, he condemned the generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, and Ma Chao to the north of the Jiange and took Xichuan's intentions. Liu Zhang of Western Shu was weak and incompetent. No achievements, far inferior to his father Liu Yanwan. Compared with Cao Cao, it is like a crow and a magpie compared to a phoenix. There is no comparison. Xichuan is in Cao Cao’s pocket. At that time, Cao Cao was like the Qin State 500 years ago. Occupying an absolute geographical advantage, it can be attacked and defended, and it is difficult to deal with.

Like Liu Bei, he is concentrating on development and making great efforts to govern with only the northern land. At the same time, he ordered the army to build a fortress at the natural moat of the Yellow River to resist our army's invasion.If the day matures, his current strength will be enough to challenge our army.If it is one side, our army's current strength can account for [-]% of the odds of winning, but with the alliance between Cao and Liu, our odds of winning are only [-]-[-]%. "

Sun Can understands that four or six is ​​a very conservative estimate. Sometimes one plus one may not equal two. The strength of the Cao Liu alliance is not as simple as Cao Cao plus Liu Bei. If their potential is added, the odds of winning will be even better. small.

He slapped the desk, his expression changed, and he said with pride: "Wen Ruo's analysis is extremely correct, so we must strike first. Yafu, after the meeting, General Bing Maben will personally lead the army northward." If you say fight, you will fight. Don't sloppy.Courage at critical times is a necessary thing for a successful leader.

"Yes!" Liu Hua took the order. He knew that Sun Can's actions were not out of will, but after careful consideration.There are only two ways to crack the alliance.[-]. Contributing to alienation.Two, kill one side.

At this moment, the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei is the same as the relationship between Liu Bei and Sun Quan in history. If they are scattered, they will perish, and if they form an alliance, they will survive.At this juncture, even if Liu Bei killed Cao Cao's son and Cao Cao slept with Liu Bei's wife, the relationship between them would not change.

The key to this is interest.

There are no permanent allies in the world, only permanent interests.

Whether it is soldiers, generals, strategy, or economy, technology, and population, Sun Can's army is the only one. Whether it is against Liu Bei, who ruled the Northland, or Cao Cao, who is sitting in Si, Yong, and Liang, Sun Can's army has a solid chance of winning Eighty percent.

Only the combination of Cao and Liu can fight against Sun Can.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both heroes with rare time. At this moment, no matter what tactics are used, they can't shake the alliance between Cao and Liu.

Therefore, sending troops is the most effective and direct method.

"Would this be a bit sloppy!" Zhuge Liang asked aloud because he was rigorous in his dealings and was not quite used to Sun Can's swift and resolute personality.

"No problem!" Sun Can said confidently and proudly: "My Sun family's army will obey every order. When the military order is issued, no one will refuse, and there will never be any objection. As for food and grass, I don't need to worry about it at all. Everything is documented. If you are here, you can."

Xun Yu went out of the squad and agreed to explain: "Food and grass are the key to the victory or defeat of an army. Whenever, Yu will prepare some food for the expedition, so as to reduce the time for the expedition."

Tacit understanding, this kind of tacit understanding depends on the tacit understanding based on trust.

Zhuge Liang nodded. The longer he spent with him, the more he felt that Sun Can was unfathomable. This unfathomable does not refer to his talent and strategy, but that he can make some unruly and talented people willingly serve him. a kind of temperament.

It is undeniable that Sun Can is indeed an excellent monarch. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
