Chapter 688: Gathering the stars
(second update)
"Just as long as I say yes, you don't have to underestimate yourself." Kou Feng said very seriously and solemnly.
There was no lie from the heart to the face, and this expression was naturally very sincere and natural.
It also makes these old Wu generals feel different, at least they follow Kou Feng without burying their talents.
"Okay, now it is early summer, and autumn is coming soon. We cannot let Shanyue people harvest food with peace of mind. Discuss quickly and discuss how to station." There is no need to say too much between the king and the minister, just click it as soon as possible. Kou Feng expressed his trust in them, which was enough.
After a pause, Kou Feng couldn't help but say.
"Please make an announcement."
Zhuge Jin said respectfully.
Kou Feng nodded and ordered people to carry the map of Jiangdong in.
The map is a landscape painting, which can be roughly identifiable and is directly embroidered on the screen.
"Come and take a look." Kou Feng greeted.
Zhuge Jin, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others all surrounded him after hearing this.
"Although Jiangdong is known as the six counties and eighty-one prefectures, it has a vast territory. It cannot be considered as counties." As he said that, Kou Feng picked up a pen and drew a tic toe on the map.
In this way, the vast area of Jiangdong became nine points.
"This is Jiujiang and Moling. The mountains and rivers in these two areas have basically been flattened. So there is no need to garrison." Kou Feng took the pen and pointed at the upper left corner of the tic toe, and then pointed at the right side. He said.
These two parts are Jiujiang and Moling.
Jiujiang had been pacified for several years under Kou Feng's governance. Moling was even the governor of Yangzhou. Kou Feng also regarded the fact that there was no Shanyue in the rebellion, so he moved the capital from Wujun to Moling.
As he said that, Kou Feng looked at the map and found that there were only seven left in the nine areas in the tic-tac-shaped shape. Just so happened that there were seven generals present.
"You can divide the rest equally. After you arrive at the area under your jurisdiction, you can send troops on your own or build fortifications. The local county magistrate and county magistrate will order you to cooperate with you with all your strength. You don't have to worry about the weapons, supplies, and food." Kou Feng said.
Kou Feng's method of dividing the garrison was really strange. In the past, they were not like this, but used the number of county towns to cooperate with defense.
But then, it would be a bit difficult. Because Jiangdong is vast, a county is very irregular and it is very complicated to defend.
Now that Kou Feng's tic-tac-tac shape is clear at a glance.
Just defend the mountain in your area and conquer the mountain in your area. It is very likely to cooperate with Kou Feng’s plan to cut off food and eliminate the mountain in a few years.
All of the former Wu generals here are the hatred of Shanyue, which is extraordinary.
Thinking of it, I was more or less excited.
But Zhou Tai was still a little confused and asked, "Lord, if we burned Shanyue's food, Shanyue couldn't help but starve and went south to join us. If so, if we move, hundreds of thousands of people will be able to help?"
Zhou Tai, Quan Cong and others have more or less doubts. But for Zhuge Jin, this is not a problem.
Jingchu's wealth is really not something that Sun Quan of Jiangdong could imagine.
Zhuge Jin has been a general of the Shanyue Guardian for so long and has comforted hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people. He has always spent money and food with his hands and never had a life of tightening his belt.
I know very well about Jingchu's wealth.
Not to mention food, even if you follow Kou Feng’s plan, you can build more county towns and villages.
Thinking of it, Zhuge Jin's eyes were filled with a little smile.
"Haha, I dare not say anything else. None of the princes in the world has more food than me. Even if Cao Cao occupy the entire north, I am afraid that the grain in the granary will not be enough for me." Kou Feng smiled, confident and arrogantly said.
Back then, Kou Feng plundered Jiangling and extorted Jiangdong. So much of the remaining grain was used up over the years. However, with the huge increase in populations such as Shanyue, Kou Feng's tax revenue also made great progress.
Kou Feng was not afraid of food being eaten, but was afraid of food being rotten in the granary.
Zhou Tai, Quan Cong, and even Lu Meng were all surprised when they heard this. They knew that Jing Chu was rich, but they didn't know that Jing Chu was rich enough to be so rich.
Cao Cao's granary covers the entire north. Although there are not many granaries in the prefectures and counties, the sum of granaries in so many places is enough to be terrifying.
But Kou Feng said that there were three or four times more granaries in Jingchu than Cao Cao. This was really surprising.
The so-called "food and grass should be taken first before the troops move. The battle between hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be solved overnight. If the war begins in the future, the enemy will not need anything else. Just defend and drag them down, and they can drag Cao Cao until they withdraw their troops.
At this point, Zhou Tai and others no longer had any doubts.
Such a wealthy and such a plan. Then it is done with a large army. The mountains are uneven and the laws of nature are difficult to tolerate.
Shanyue was a problem that existed since ancient times. During the Warring States Period, the Chu State was vast in territory, but the reason why he called it a powerful country was entirely supported by Jingchu.
Not Jiangdong.
At that time, the Shanyue people were a headache for the king. One branch continued to the Qin and Han dynasties, and now, if Kou Feng could pacify it with the flow.
Establish counties and counties.
It has made Jiangdong peaceful and its achievements lie in the country.
For example, Emperor Wu of Han attacked the border invaders, which made the borders of the Han Dynasty peaceful, so he was posthumously named Wu after his death.
If Kou Feng could harm Shanyue, which had been a disaster for hundreds or thousands of years, it would be enough to be immortal. And if they pacified Shanyue, they would have gained some benefits.
It couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Just as Kou Feng said, now in early summer, and autumn is about to advance. Time is tight, and everyone is eager to fight. They can't help but ask for a request.
"I'll ask my lord to order us to go to war." The generals led by Zhuge Jin all bowed.
"Haha. The official documents are ready." Kou Feng smiled, and reached out to take out a volume of official documents on the case and handed them to Zhuge Jin.
It says that Zhuge Jin, the general of the Shanyue General, was appointed as the commander of Jiangdong's military and presided over the attack on Shanyue. The rest of Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin, Quan Cong, Zhou Tai and others were all lieutenants and carried out expeditions from other departments.
Zhuge Jin took it and read it, then bowed and said, "Such as soon as possible, I will raise my troops to Jiangdong."
"You go first, Bo Yan stay." Kou Feng nodded and said. However, he pointed out that Lu Xun stay.
"No." Zhuge Jin glanced at Lu Xun, nodded with great tactfulness, and walked out with the generals.
Although everyone is an old general of Wu, everyone knows that Lu Xun is different. He and Kou Feng are relatives. After Kou Feng entered Jiangdong, he took Lu Xun away.
This son's future will far exceed that of their surrendered generals, and there is no doubt that this son will have a better future than that of them.
And just as Zhuge Jin and others thought, Kou Feng had very high expectations for Lu Xun. Even if he was as strong as Lu Meng, he was one better off.
No matter how Kou Feng can tolerate others, he can use surrendered generals. However, there is a difference in closeness and distantness, and this is still a fact.
Kou Feng is optimistic about this kid Lu Xun. He is Kou Feng's nephew, which is different. Moreover, Lu Xun and Sun Quan are also relatively distant.
Adding up all the things, Lu Xun's future is certain.
"Although this time, the generals have their own jurisdictions, and the expedition to Shanyue depends entirely on their own abilities. If they succeed, they will be rewarded separately afterwards. This expedition to Shanyue is also a great opportunity. Don't miss it." Kou Feng taught Lu Xun.
Lu Xun led troops to conquer Shanyue in his early years, and he was also very instinctive in dealing with Shanyue people. Kou Feng was not worried. But he still felt that he would encourage him to make Lu Xun more motivated.
We will strive for merit and think that we will lead the troops in the future and accumulate experience, qualifications and prestige.
It is really necessary.
"A real man is just to be a general and a marquis, and to establish a merit for eternity. Although what I have learned is not enough to be comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. But he is effective in imitating the ambitions of the two famous generals." In front of Kou Feng, Lu Xun did not hide his ambitions and said sincerely.
"In this way, I'll feel relieved." Kou Feng smiled with a gratitude and said.
It's not in vain to pull this kid out of Jiangdong in advance.
After teaching a few words, Kou Feng sent Lu Xun away. It would be enough to give some tips and encourage him. Lu Xun doesn't need anything else.
After Lu Xun left, Kou Feng sat alone in the study, with an incomparable smile in his eyes.
Deng Ai, Lu Xun, Wei Yan, Ma Su, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Xiang Chong. His tent can be said to be a gathering of generals, almost gathering the elite generals of the future Wei, Shu and Wu Three Kingdoms.
While developing oneself, we have discovered the talents of other countries.
What a pleasure this is.
Although the two countries are now inevitable to compete for power, and there must be countless battles and battles between the north and the south. However, Kou Feng's advantage has reached twenty years later.
Twenty years later, he was full of talented people. I wonder what kind of generals there were in Cao Wei?
Thinking of the happy things, Kou Feng's mood became very happy.
However, as the saying goes, once this person gets in a good mood, this trouble will come.
"Lord, the urgent report from the governor of Jingnan, Lord Liu." Kou Shui walked in from outside the door, holding a note in his hand.
Urgent report?
Kou Feng couldn't help but frowned. Jingnan had been in peace for a long time. Apart from the major natural disasters, there was no need for any urgent report. And urgent report?
Could it be that something went further south?
Kou Feng had a little bad premonition in his heart.
"Take it over." Kou Feng stretched out his hand, took the note from Kou Shui's hand, opened it and looked at it. He couldn't help but pat the table and said, "It's abominable."
However, it was Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu. Seeing Kou Feng fighting with Jiangdong, he led his troops to rebellion. Although he did not cause harm to the other side, he also plundered many people in the Chu State.
Cangwu belongs to Jiaozhou, but this prefect was conferred by Liu Biao.
It has nothing to do with the surname Shi in Jiaozhou.
Wu Ju and Liu Bei have an old age, so Kou Feng also knew about this. However, Cangwu was remote and belonged to Jiaozhou. Kou Feng was afraid of causing misunderstandings from the surname Shi.
He did not send troops. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the opportunity.
"I thought I had a bad relationship with Wei and Wu, so I had no time to look south." Kou Feng sneered and ordered: "Go and hand the memorial to Pang Tong, and order Deng Ai to lead five thousand elite troops to pacify him. The three tribes were destroyed."
This time, Kou Feng was really angry. The six counties in Jingnan are the foundation, so how can they let others harm? Besides, Wu Ju also had an old relationship with Liu Bei, so it was a big disaster to stay.
"promise."
The enemy's waters responded to the order.
