Three Kingdoms Battle

Chapter 398 Liangzhou

Chengdu, the center of Yizhou, has now been controlled by Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang's wife and children in the city have been sent to Shangyong.

Although everything in Yizhou was handled by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang had just arrived in Yizhou after all. He was not too familiar with the matter of Yizhou, and for Yizhou, Zhuge Liang was an outsider after all, so before leaving, Liu Qi asked Zhang Songfa Zheng to stay to help Zhuge Liang stabilize Yizhou as soon as possible.

Although Liu Zhang and his army returned to Jingzhou, all parts of Yizhou are not stable. Previously, an agreement was reached with Liu Zhang for the time being, but at this time, Yizhou has been merged into Jingzhou, and the previous agreement is naturally no longer binding.

For Jingzhou, if you want to stabilize Jingzhou as soon as possible, it is not to stabilize the inside of Yizhou, but to prevent the invasion outside of Yizhou.

Liu Qi left Gan Ning and Huang Zhong just in case, and the tens of thousands of troops who followed Liu Qi to fight against Yizhou also stayed in Yizhou. In addition to the tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers and horses that had been surrendered before, Liu Qi was not worried about what would happen in Yizhou. Even if Zheng Du and Li Yan secretly played tricks, it was impossible. The opponents of Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.

When he arrived in Xiangyang, it was already two days later. After a little rest, Liu Qi saw Ju Shu and others.

"I've met Lord Zhou Mu." As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Liu Qi standing with a smile. He bowed and saluted in his heart. The last time he saw Liu Qi, Liu Qi was not Jingzhou Mu. He was just the identity of a big prince. Unexpectedly, it was only a few months. Liu Qi not only inherited Jingzhou Mu, but also doubled the power of Jingzhou.

Compared with Ju Shu's exclamation, Zhang and others beside him were slightly shocked. What they saw along the way was enough to shock them.

The high amount of food and grass piled up in Wancheng, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wancheng, and the flying dragon guards known as the two elite cavalry in Jingzhou made several people faintly shake no matter what.

And all the way from Wancheng to here, the people live and work in peace and contentment all the way. Although there are no soldiers and horses passing by Chicheng, the whole Jingzhou is extremely peaceful, which is really different from the chaos of soldiers and horses in other places.

"I've met Lord Zhou Mu." Zhang and others also bowed and saluted.

"Ha ha, I've heard of your name a long time ago. It's really lucky to come to Jingzhou this time." Looking at the more than ten people in the hall, Liu Qi was also full of joy.

Not to mention others, Zhang Jian and Ju Shu are already quite good. These people who come to Jingzhou are bound to fill the vacancy of Jingzhou officials. Although Liu Qi has begun to select a large number of talents, people like Zhang Jian and Ju Shu can't be found through selection.

"The state herdsman praised it."

Ju Shu smiled bitterly. It was a little embarrassing for them to rush to Jingzhou at this time. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others under Liu Qi are rare counselors, and Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others are also rare fierce generals. Even if these people don't care, their arrival is bound to arouse Liu Qi's forces. Dissatisfied.

No matter how Liu Qi arranges them, it will be questioned by others.

"You come to Xiangyang for the first time, but you can rest in Xiangyang for a few days. Now that Jingzhou is hiring people, since you have chosen me, Jingzhou, naturally you will not be disappointed. The official positions of several people will be arranged later. Please take care of this matter for a moment."

Liu Qi arched his hand to several people. Jingzhou has just calmed down Yizhou. Although there are many places to employ people, since he has just arrived in Jingzhou, rashly arranging positions for several people will certainly cause criticism. Even if the name of Ju to Zhang Ao is not known in the world, it is quite a lot. Re fame.

"Lord Zhou Mu, you're welcome." Although Ju Shugongshoudao did not understand the situation in Jingzhou, it was indeed inappropriate for him and others to suddenly appear here to hold important official positions. No matter how authoritative Liu Qi is in Jingzhou, it is impossible to eliminate the resentment in the hearts of his people.

"Lord Zhou Mu, General Gao is still in Jizhou, the grain and fodder of the army?" Ju Shu was a little worried.

Liu Qi nodded and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu had already told him about Gao Lan's stay in Jizhou. Xu Shu didn't want to talk about the food and grass. He just said that someone would be prepared for the food and grass. Although I don't know why Xu Shu did this, Liu Qi still chose to believe Xu Shu.

Seeing Liu Qi looking at him, Xu Shu arched his hand to Ju Shu and said, "Don't worry, the food and fodder that General Gao needs will definitely be delivered."

"Thank you very much, Yuan Zhi." Ju Shu said, since Xu Shu said so, there must be no problem with the army's grain and fodder.

"So the inferiors will say goodbye first." Ju Shu stood up and said.

After sending several people out, Liu Qi took Xu Shu back to the study. Not long after, Jia Xu and Xin Xianying heard the news.

"Are you waiting to talk to me about the situation of the princes?" After a few people sat down, Liu Qi asked.

"Lord, Yuan Shao's power under his command was nine times after this defeat, and most of the cities under his command were occupied by Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shao had ordered Ju Yi to lead the army to resist Cao Cao's attack, he could not resist it for a long time. However, Yuan Shao has been operating in Jizhou and other places for many years, and his forces under his command were very large. Cao Cao wanted to be completely It will take some time to defeat Yuan Shao. Jia Xu said first.

"Ju Yi?" Liu Qi was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there was a general under Yuan Shao who could resist Cao Cao's fierce attack at this time.

"Lord, this Ju Yi has led troops to fight against the Qiang people all year round. His soldiers and horses are all the elite among the elites, and Ju Yi has even set up a soldier and horse, called the halberd. He has always been invincible, and he is also famous in Jizhou and other places." Seeing that Liu Qi was surprised, Xu Shu explained that he had figured out the people under Yuan Shao's command in Jizhou for a few months, including Ju Yi.

"The halberd!" Liu Qi's eyes narrowed. Ju Yi may not remember it for a while, but he knew the name of the halberd.

"Although Ju Yi is brave, he is extremely arrogant. Yuan Shao is even more angry with him. If Ju Shu and others hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid Ju Yi had been killed by Yuan Shao! Moreover, this person is extremely respectful to Tian Feng. Yuan Shao sent Tian Feng to prison this time, which is likely to be annoyed by this person. Xu Shu did not hurry and said all about Ju Yi's weaknesses. Obviously, he investigated Ju Yi very thoroughly.

"Tian Feng?" Liu Qi shook his head. Although this person's talent is not good, he doesn't know how to be a minister. With Yuan Shao's good face and Tian Feng's sharp mouth, I'm afraid Tian Feng is in trouble this time.

"Lord, Tian Feng, my subordinates have advised him several times that this man is already loyal to Yuan Shao." Xu Shu shook his head and sighed.

"It doesn't matter." Liu Qi waved his hand, and Liu Qi did not think that this person would surrender to Jingzhou.

"In your opinion, how long can Yuan Shao resist Cao Cao?" Liu Qi is most concerned about time. He doesn't want Yuan Shao to become bigger, but he doesn't want Cao Cao to become bigger. The only thing he can do is for Cao Cao to fight non-stop. Only in this way can he constantly consume Cao Cao's power resources until he is exhausted.

"Master, although Yuan Shao is a soldier and a horse, he still has some background. Cao Cao should not be able to swallow Jizhou within three years, but Yuan Shao has been often sick before. This time he has experienced this failure. Once he dies, the whole Jizhou will definitely fall apart, giving Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xu Shu's face was a little solemn. Yuan Shao, relying on Yuan Shao's name, was still able to suppress Jizhou and keep Jizhou from chaos. However, once Yuan Shao died, his three sons would definitely compete for power and could easily be defeated by Cao Cao.

"That's less than three years. In this case, let's say it for a year. Although our Jingzhou power is not weaker than Cao Cao, Cao Cao's power is expanding very fast. It will take some time to catch up with Cao Cao and surpass him." Liu Qi was a little helpless. Although the strength of the annexation of Yizhou has greatly increased, Cao Cao's power has also increased greatly, and Cao Cao's forces are already much stronger than Jingzhou.

"What's the news about other princes?" Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Jia Xu first.

"Master, Liangzhou Ma Teng and Han Sui have been fighting for several months, and the two sides have their own wins and losses. Although Ma Teng now has a certain advantage, it is not enough to suppress and annex Han Sui. Since Jiangdong Sun Ce captured Jiujiang County, he has never taken a step forward. Now he has been firmly restrained by Sima Yi. But the other princes were still watching and did not move. Jia Xu arched his hand.

"Liangzhou?" Liu Qi nodded. At the beginning, he wanted Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight to the death to subsidize Liangzhou grain and grass, but now it seems to be successful.

"If you send troops into Liangzhou now, how many chances will you win Liangzhou?" Liu Qi frowned and said.

"This... is a little troublesome. Ma Teng and Han Sui are both people who can be used to fighting, and the people in Liangzhou are fierce, and there are many cavalry. It has always been difficult to tame, but it is a little difficult to capture Liangzhou." Xu Shu shook his head and said in a difficult way.

"Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. If you first jointly defeat Han Sui with Ma Teng, and then take the opportunity to defeat Ma Teng, there is a good chance of winning." Next to Liu Qi, Xin Xianying, who had never spoken, said.

"Although this plan is feasible, it has some risks. There are very few cavalry in Jingzhou. Once we intervene in the fight in Liangzhou, there will be no small casualties." Xu Shu frowned and said that Jingzhou's soldiers would definitely suffer losses when fighting with Liangzhou's cavalry.

"You can get some horses from the place where the horses are, and even borrow some cavalry." Xin Xianyingdao.

"This plan is feasible." Jia Xu nodded and said.

"Well, in this case, wait until the matter in Yizhou is stable, and then send troops to Liangzhou." Liu Qi said.

"In addition, the army has been fighting for years, and there are still soldiers who can't supply it. This matter also needs a safe way." Liu Qi suddenly said that although the granary has been successfully set up, it is impossible to take it endlessly. The most important thing is people.
