The first thousand and sixty-three chapters of the shriveled Jiangdong
Zhuge Liang returned to Jiujiang Port in Yuzhang County. This time, his return was so ineffective that Zhuge Liang was very angry.
The left-behind soldiers didn't understand why the commander who was waiting for them returned so soon?
After the army returned to the port, Zhuge Liang sat down on the main position in the central army's tent, and his military generals and staff successively entered the central army's tent. Because Zhuge Liang's face was not so good-looking, everyone who came in did not dare to speak nonsense.
As the main general of Jiujiang Port, Guan Yu wanted to ask about the next step, but Wen Pin kept winking at Guan Yu, which made Guan Yu dare not speak.
The atmosphere was very depressing and quiet.
A soldier seeks a visit outside the tent and indicates that he has an important military information report.
"Let him come in!" Zhuge Liang said lightly.
The soldier half-kneeled in front of Zhuge Liang, holding up the battle report from Zhang Liao in both hands.
"Remember!" Zhuge Liang still had a expressionless face.
The soldiers immediately opened Zhang Liao's battle report, and the content was exactly the same as what Zhuge Liang encountered. Zhang Liao said that he had temporarily retreated and was waiting for Zhuge Liang's new instructions.
The atmosphere inside the tent became even more depressing, and I didn’t expect that Zhang Liao would be like this.
Zhuge Liang stood up, and everyone became nervous. I wonder what Zhuge Liang would do.
Zhuge Liang came to the map and was drawing something with his feather fan. No one could understand such a situation.
"Hahaha." Suddenly, Zhuge Liang let out a bold laugh.
Everyone present looked at each other. Military Advisor Zhuge had always been unfathomable. Is it aroused that his brain was so nervous that something was wrong today? This is not impossible. Military Advisor Zhuge went to the war with an absolute chance of winning, and in the end he returned in vain. How did this tell His Majesty that Zhuge explained to His Majesty? Military Advisor Zhuge was successful and had a smooth journey. The setbacks he experienced now will not be accepted for a while, and his brain has been hurt.
"Military Secretary Zhuge, you must not think too much. If you think too much, we will be in trouble." Many people kept praying in their hearts.
Guan Yu didn't think so. He felt that Zhuge Liang seemed to see something, and immediately stood up and asked: "Military advisor, is there a plan to defeat Jiangdong!?"
Zhuge Liang turned around and returned to his previous unfathomable appearance, and said with appreciation: "Yun Chang is really a talented general, you can see it at a glance!"
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhuge Liang was not hysterical in his brain just now, but saw the loopholes in Jiangdong! Everyone was secretly sad, and Guan Yu could tell at a glance that this proved that he and others were incomparable to Guan Yu. There was still a huge gap between people.
"The military advisor is absurd. The last general knows that the military advisor is very smart and has a subtle plan for the Jiangdong Military Region. The military advisor will definitely come up with a solution." Guan Yu said seriously.
Everyone admired Guan Yu very much. Seeing that, others flattered him, they were all flattering and said it. General Guan had already looked like he was still calm. Seeing that the military advisor Zhuge was very helpful, he knew that General Guan had already touched his pleasure.
Zhuge Liang greeted everyone to the map and said, "Everyone, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu of Jiangdong used the iron rope to cross the river, and they could indeed resist our army. But there are also their fatalities. It is this fatalities that make Jiangdong unable to cause any trouble to our army or the court."
Everyone stared at the map and listened carefully to Zhuge Liang's words. They all knew that Zhuge Liang always kept half of his words, so that he could keep pretending.
Wen Pin glanced a few times, and then said with admiration: "The military advisor is very insightful. The iron cable crosses the river to block the top-down attack of our army. If our army wants to attack Jiangdong, it can only go south or attack from Poyang Lake. Sun Ce must have placed heavy troops in Poyang Lake. It is very difficult for our army to attack. But it is also extremely difficult for them to attack us."
"That's right!" Zhuge Liang was very pleased. Wenpin is also a rare talent.
Zhuge Liang said to everyone: "Jiangdong will not cause trouble for the court since then. Your Majesty can calmly send more troops to other places. It seems that I, the commander of the conquest of Jiangdong, has reached the last time."
In the last sentence, what Zhuge Liang said is the truth. If Jiangdong cannot open up the situation, then Liu Yu would not have put so many troops here. The conquest of Jiangdong will come to an end. It is reasonable that Zhuge Liang's position will also be abandoned.
Everyone didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Zhuge Liang smiled freely and said, "What are you doing? Everyone is sitting upright. This military advisor doesn't care much about this position. You don't have to worry."
Although Zhuge Liang said this, who knows what Zhuge Liang was thinking, and no one dared to say anything randomly, including Wen Pin and Guan Yu.
Zhuge Liang was actually really unhappy inside. Everyone knew that if Zhuge Liang successfully took Jiangdong, his name would definitely be written in the history of the Han Dynasty and achieved great fame. Zhuge Liang also worked hard for this. Unfortunately, he was destroyed by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce this time.
Zhuge Liang then wrote his situation into a memorial, and then sent someone to Luoyang to ask Liu Yu to give the next instructions. He said it was a request, but Zhuge Liang could guess what Liu Yu would ask him to do. It was nothing more than attacking Yuzhou and solving Cao Cao.
Since he could guess, Zhuge Liang ordered the people below to start preparing. Guan Yu, Wen Pin and others immediately took the order and left without doubting Zhuge Liang's intention.
After no one was around, Zhuge Liang said hatefully: "I'm really unwilling to accept it! Zhou Yu, remember it for me!"
Zhuge Liang was still worried about the Jiangdong incident. The incident happened too suddenly, and Zhuge Liang still couldn't think of any way to get through it.
Jiangdong used the iron rope to cross the river, making Liu Jun's attack return in vain.
This made the whole Jiangdong relax. The previous defeat of Chaisang, the loss of Lujiang, and the defeat of Jiangdong seemed to have been decided. But at this critical moment, the Grand Governor Zhou Yu of Jiangdong did not disappoint those loyal to Sun Ce. He simply used iron ropes to lie on the river. It was very difficult for Liu Jun to take a step forward.
Many people in Jiangdong lamented that the governor of Zhou was powerful and his superb strategy was not comparable to them. Some people secretly resented Zhou Yu. Such a plan should be taken out earlier, otherwise it would not lead to the failure of Chaisang and Lujiang. Of course, they were just talking secretly, and they dared not. They still wanted to keep their heads for dinner.
The military and civilians in Jiangdong were relaxed, but the mastermind Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had a heavy face. Both of them knew that the iron ropes of the river could resist for a while, but they also cut off the life path of Jiangdong.
Zhuge Liang had scolded this unethical strategy before, and he was not wrong at all. The iron rope was crossed across the river, which was indeed unethical. The merchants in Jiangdong could not go from the water to other places before the iron rope was removed. This was very fatal.
Jiangdong has a lot of resources, which can be found with current technical means and surveys. With Liu Yu's blockade, Jiangdong will rely on to fight for the world to dominate. The most serious one is war horses. Sun Ce knows that cavalry has an irreparable role in the Central Plains conquest, and has always been determined to form a large-scale cavalry unit in Jiangdong. Jiangdong does not produce horses at all, so Sun Ce's plan has never been realized. Originally, Jiangdong could have relied on the funding of Cao Cao and smuggled by some illegal merchants. Now that Lujiang has been taken off and the waterway has been cut off, the source of war horses is a big problem. Another thing is that Jiangdong can no longer go out in the future. The iron cable crosses the river, blocking other people's attacks, and also blocking his own attack. Unless Sun Ce is brave and takes a detour to attack the Central Plains from the sea. Unfortunately, this idea is unrealistic.
"Haha, in the future, I, Zhou Yu, will be the sinner of Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said with a wry smile.
Sun Ce persuaded, "Gongjin, in my heart, you will always be Jiangdong and my benefactor."
Zhou Yu was very pleased. As long as Sun Ce could understand him, it would be enough to have such brothers in his life. Life is like a long time, and the grass and trees will be in full bloom, regardless of whether it will be a long life or a ten thousand years of infamous life in the future.
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce put aside the distracting thoughts in their minds. The current situation is so much, it is meaningless to think about so many messy things. Liu Jun's attack has stopped. Jiangdong needs to prepare a lot of things in this limited time to make Jiangdong's strength a higher level.
The troops were the most considered by Zhou Yu. There were not many people in Jiangdong. The few times he resisted Liu's army before, he had already drained all the troops that Jiangdong could recruit. So much so that Zhou Yu adopted such a plan that harmed others and himself.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce decided to divide the troops into three parts. The first part was arranged behind the iron chain formation and patroled daily and nightly, making it impossible for Liu Jun to step further.
In the second part, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have already arranged a large number of naval troops in Poyang Lake. This was the training base of the Jiangdong Navy before. Liu's navy only advanced through Poyang Lake on the waterway. Although Poyang Lake is large in area, there are many reefs, and it is very dangerous for large-scale ships to travel here. In Jiangdong, you only need to arrange defensive forces in key waters.
In the third part, Zhou Yu concentrated all his troops in Jianye City. Zhou Yu found that the terrain around Jianye City was flat, the land was fertile, and it was dangerously surrounded by it, which was very suitable as a capital. Concentrating these troops here allows Sun Ce to stabilize the entire Jiangdong and suppress all the elements who dared to do anything.
At the same time, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce increase control over the local area and set up inspectors among the remaining counties and counties in Jiangdong to lead a small number of cavalry and continuously patrol. These inspectors are only responsible to Sun Ce and no one is allowed to intervene. This can achieve the role of monitoring the local area, and can also train cavalry, appease the people, and suppress thieves.
Sun Ce agreed happily, and this was the best way.
The other is to order craftsmen to build warships, train weapons, and use them later.
After the military arrangements were completed, Zhou Yu wanted to target the internal affairs. However, this time Zhou Yu did not dare to make a decision by himself. He asked Sun Ce to find Zhang Zhao, Zhang, Zhuge Jin and other internal affairs experts to come over and discuss together.
Sun Ce also felt it made sense, so he ordered all the people mentioned by Zhou Yu to gather here.
Soon, Zhang Zhao, Zhang, Zhuge Jin and others came to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce did not waste much time and expressed his meaning.
Everyone knew that Zhou Yu had implemented the plan of the iron rope of the Yangtze River. They already knew that Jiangdong was going to be finished and could not cause trouble for Liu Yu in the future. The only thing that can be relieved is that Jiangdong is safe now. But it is only a matter of time before the demise is over, but everyone dare not mention it.
Now Sun Ce needs them to come up with the best way to recover Jiangdong at this time. Everyone is Sun Ce's subordinates. With the salary given by Sun Ce, they naturally have to work for Sun Ce wholeheartedly.
It took a certain amount of time to gather all the internal affairs experts in Jiangdong, but Sun Ce discussed a complete set of plans to restore his strength.
First of all, the military farming system was used as a half-army and half-agricultural model, and in their spare time without training, they were asked to reclaim wasteland.
The second is to encourage land reclamation. As long as the people in Jiangdong are in the territory of Jiangdong, the land reclamation will be cultivated by him, and there will be no need to pay taxes on the land within three years.
The third article is to encourage the people to have more births and raise more. Jiangdong’s disadvantage is that they have a small population. If they want to have enough troops in the future, they will have more children now. The way to encourage births and raises is nothing more than reducing taxes and rewarding things. Sun Ce did this. But now the treasury in Jiangdong is pitifully small, and they are exempted from taxes and rewards, and the treasury cannot afford it.
Of course, Zhou Yu and others naturally thought of a solution. They looked at the wealthy families. These families were all rich and rich, and it was so exciting to collect them.
The Jiangdong family is in trouble again.
In addition to these, there are policies such as water conservancy construction, recruiting soldiers, etc.
All of them are gathered together, which means building Jiangdong into a paradise on earth.
Unfortunately, if Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others had such thoughts and concentration many years ago, it would be unlikely that Jiangdong is now.
Jiangdong is now huddling in a corner, trying to use time to create space to continue to fight for the world in the future. But those who are interested know that Jiangdong no longer has any chance of winning and will not be able to compete with Emperor Shenwu in the future.
Jiangdong's plan to take care of himself also killed another group of people.
This group of people is Cao Cao and Liu Xie from Yuzhou.
