Chapter 305 Attacking Wang Jian (3)—Jia Xu Offers Advice (40 monthly tickets)

"Yuejuan County is rich, but Zangcang County is poor. This is the gap. If it is true as Xiaozhi said, one Qianwei County will have to support the people of the three counties. Wouldn't it be dangerous? My lord, attacking Wang Jian first is definitely the best choice.

As for the opening of the passage to Jiaozhou, it is not in a hurry now. Jiaozhou is located in a remote place, the southernmost part of the Han land. It is far away from the Central Plains, and the people feel at ease. If the lord abandons Yizhou and occupies Jiaozhou, he will become a trapped beast. Looking around, there is no retreat. As for the Northern Expedition, it is extremely difficult and there is absolutely no reason for success. "

"Your lord, you have to take Wang Jian first, occupy a large area of ​​plain land, encourage farming and mulberry, repair water conservancy, and accumulate food and grass widely, then you will have the strength to fight. What's more, Li Shimin is not invincible. Jingzhou is the place where the four wars were fought. , there is Yangzhou in the east, once it invades Yizhou on a large scale, it will be attacked by surrounding forces, no one would like to see a force occupying Jingzhou and Yizhou appear!"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Pang Tong first saluted Lucheng and Fazheng before returning to his seat and sitting down.

Looking at the expressionless Pang Tong at this time, Lucheng couldn't help but fell into contemplation. The area included in Zangcang County was Guizhou and a small part of Yunnan in the previous life, and the land was very barren.

The sky is not sunny for three days, the land is not three feet flat, and people do not have three cents of silver. It is said that there is no place. According to the estimation of Lucheng, at the moment when the land is not fully developed, it is not bad that a Cangyang County can support a population of 150 million by itself. up.

In fact, this is too much. Guizhou has always been sparsely populated. Even if the Ming Dynasty consciously allowed 80 people to enter Guizhou, it failed to change this situation.

At the beginning, some scholars estimated the population of Guizhou based on documents such as "Tong Kao of Qing Documents" and "Guizhou Tong Zhi" in the reigns of Kangxi and Qianlong. At the end of the count, there were only a few people, less than 320 million!
This was the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong that many people boasted about, and the total population of the country at that time was more than 2 million!This ratio can already be called astonishing.

Moreover, in Guizhou at that time, the vast majority of people could only eat half full, and this was still the case with other provinces helping them.

There have been large-scale refugees in Cang County today, from a population of 500 million at its peak to 300 million today. Even so, a large number of people are still losing.

If it weren't for the large area of ​​Bazi land in the south of Cang County (Kunming Dam in the previous life, the overall area is about 300 square kilometers, and Cang County occupies [-] square kilometers of it) and some other small-scale Bazi land, the population of [-] million would be Don't try to feed.

The fundamental reason why Meng Zhixiang wanted to unite with Wu Sangui before was because Zangcang County could no longer support so many people, and there was an urgent need to find a breakthrough.

If you attack Meng Zhixiang now, you can indeed open up the passage to Jiaozhou. If you can't beat Li Shimin in the future, at least there is still a way out.

It can be seen from this that Fazheng's priority is safety. After all, the generals he summoned are completely loyal to him, so safety has become the biggest problem, even greater than the development of the territory.

But Pang Tong was different. Pang Tong wasn't calling generals, so he naturally didn't think so much. Attacking Wang Jian was still due to the development of the territory.

Neither of them is wrong, they just think about the problem from different angles.

Thinking of this, Lucheng wanted to hear what Jia Xu would say. Jia Xu was a newcomer, and his position was relatively neutral, so his words were more attractive.

At this moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Does Wenhe have a good opinion?"

When Jia Xu, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard this, he quickly stood up from his seat, bowed and replied: "My lord, there are two great talents, Xiaozhi and Shiyuan, so I don't need to use the axe!"

I believe you are a ghost!

With a murmur in his heart, Lu Cheng's tone was a little low: "Wen He is being modest, this is a matter of discussion, so you can speak freely."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Jia Xu had no choice but to salute Lucheng again, and said: "My lord, if you want to protect yourself, you can adopt Xiaozhi's opinion. If you want to have a plan, you can adopt Shi Yuan's opinion. But if you want to fight for hegemony, you need to take care of yourself." All down!"

"A multi-pronged approach? Does Wen He have a good strategy?" Interest was instantly in his heart, and Lu Cheng hurriedly asked at this time.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Jia Xu straightened her clothes, bowed her head and muttered for a long time before saying, "The so-called multi-pronged approach is to divide the troops, not only to attack Wang Jian, but also to attack Liu Zhang! Only by dismembering Liu Zhang can we fight." Yes, it is best to occupy the vassal state of Shu County, and it must be completed within half a year, and then spend half a year to absorb the results of the battle and train new recruits, only in this way can we have the foundation for the struggle for hegemony."

"You are really..." At this moment, Lucheng was speechless when he saw Jia Xu, who looked normal. It was okay to attack Wang Jian, but is it possible to attack Liu Zhang?

These words sound a bit cruel, what can I use to attack these two people?Relying on these 15 exclusive arms?This is not a game, soldiers can be transformed overnight.

If I had 30 exclusive arms, I would do the same, needless to say, but the point is that I don’t have one!
However, thinking of Jia Xu's fierce battles in the past, Lucheng still did not give up and asked: "Wen He's statement like this is unexpected, but if I really use troops against these two at the same time, how should I do it?"

"Just drive away the wolves and tigers!"

"Keep away wolves and tigers? Do you have a specific plan?" Lu Cheng then asked.

"I heard General Wen Yuan mention something before, saying that Liu Bang in Xuzhou has already started to use troops against Yangzhou."

"There is such a thing."

"Since this is the case, it is possible to guide external forces into Yizhou. Only by disrupting the situation in Yizhou will the Lord have a chance.

Sima Rui from Yangzhou, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, and even Ma Teng and Yang Jian from Liangzhou can play this role. "When he said this, there was a hint of ferocity in Jia Xu's eyes.

"Ma Teng and Yang Jian? What's the big deal in Liangzhou?" He exclaimed in his heart, and Lu Cheng fixed his eyes on Jia Xu, wanting to see what he would say next.

Perhaps seeing Lucheng's doubts, Jia Xu didn't let it go, and said in a deep voice: "I have served General Dong before, and I know the situation in Liangzhou very well. My lord, do you know who is the biggest force in Liangzhou?"

"Let's talk about peace."

"The biggest force is Liu Xiu!" The words were not shocking, and when Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone present gasped.

It turned out to be Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the "Great Magister". The Guangwu ZTE era he created was highly praised by Sima Guang and Liang Qichao, who called him "the most beautiful and the most prosperous Confucianism" in Chinese history. "Era.

If this is true, it is really a great event!
