Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Liu Bei soon occupied the land of Jiangdong.

Although the land of Jiangdong was devastated and dilapidated by Ji Ling, it was still such a big place, with so many fields, and a considerable population.

As long as he can survive a difficult period of one year, after the harvest next year, the land of Jiangdong will no longer be a burden, and perhaps he can provide Liu Bei with some military rations.

When Ji Ling was retreating, with Zhuge Liang's ability, he could actually try his best to keep them in Jiangdong, gather and annihilate them.

However, Zhuge Liang thought more about Yamatai, which is the real treasure land, and Jiangdong, which is under ten eyes, cannot be compared.

Therefore, rather than wasting its troops on annihilating Ji Ling's army, it is better to save them and conquer Yamatai.

Zhuge Liang also understood in his heart that Ji Ling was unwaveringly loyal to Yuan Shu, and he would rather break the jade than be complete. It is almost impossible to make Ji Ling surrender.

So, the Battle of Jiangdong came to an end.

But the busiest ones were not Zhuge Liang, but Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

This is what Liu Bei promised Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. Once he conquered Jiangdong, he would hand over Jiangdong's internal affairs to the two of them, and Zhuge Liang would not care about Jiangdong's affairs for the time being.

Zhuge Liang also agreed to this matter, and he only took care of Xuzhou's political affairs for the time being.

Of course, there are two reasons why Zhuge Liang, who cares about everything in detail, agreed to this matter.

First, there are many gentry in Jiangdong, fighting fiercely with each other, which is far from the situation of the gentry in Xuzhou.

Therefore, it takes a lot of thought to appease Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang's plan is not focused on Jiangdong, so he pushed the boat to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

By the way, Zhuge Liang can also see how capable these two famous Xuzhou Erzhang are.

If the two can do well, Zhuge Liang will naturally rely more on them in the future.

If the two of them can't do well, they will definitely have no face to mention the matter of fighting for power with Zhuge Liang.

The second is the key point of Zhuge Liang's plan, the kingdom of Yamatai.

Xuzhou's internal affairs have been on the right track, and the land of Jiangdong is handed over to Er Zhang, so Zhuge Liang can go to Yamatai and personally participate in the battle to conquer Yamatai.

After all, the expedition to Yamatai is different from the expedition to the land of Han.

No matter how far away the expedition is, you can use a fast horse to report the affairs of Xuzhou to Zhuge Liang, and ask Zhuge Liang to review it before taking it back for execution.

However, Xuzhou is separated from Yamatai by the vast sea, and there are many storms, waves and showers in the sea. Without Zhuge Liang's weather forecast, it is almost impossible to reach.

Even if there was a rebellion in Xuzhou and someone took him to the nest, he would not be able to reach Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, the stability of Xuzhou is the top priority of this conquest of Yamatai, and it is also the top priority of Jiangdong's rapid stability.

After occupying Jiangdong and entrusting Jiangdong affairs to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang immediately returned to Pengcheng to discuss the matter of marching into Yamatai.

Last time, when Nan Shengmi visited, Zhuge Liang had a good chat with him, and the two parties even negotiated some terms of the covenant.

Nan Shengmi returned with satisfaction and reported the matter to Queen Himiko.

It's just that Nan Shengmi never dreamed that this was Zhuge Liang's tactic to paralyze the enemy. He deliberately did this so that Yamatai had no defenses.

This kind of strategy is really not bright, Zhang Fei dismisses it, but Zhuge Liang also has his own explanation, saying that it can minimize casualties.

Besides, soldiers never tire of deceit, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also did the thing about repairing the plank road secretly, which made Zhang Fei speechless.

Knowing that Liu Bei was going to send troops to the Yamatai Kingdom, Guan Yu naturally felt itchy in his heart, and was the first to jump out: "Brother, my younger brother is willing to be the vanguard and take down the Yamatai Kingdom for my brother."

Jiangdong was pacified, but the matter of attacking Huainan was gone, and Guan Yu naturally would not want to do this kind of thing of staying in Xuzhou anymore.

Zhang Fei also wants to go.

After all, attacking aliens is far more enjoyable than killing each other within the Han.

It's just that Zhang Fei got a lot of credit for the Battle of Jiangdong. If he competed with Guan Yu for this opportunity again, it would be out of Zhang Fei's character, so he kept silent.

Guan Yu took the initiative to invite Ying, but Zhang Fei remained silent. This was the result of discussions between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

On the way back to Xuzhou, the two had already set up offensive and defensive personnel.

Shou is the personnel who stay behind in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei is the master, so naturally he can't follow the risk.

Although Zhuge Liang is good at astrology and has the ability to forecast the weather, the weather changes a lot.

Not to mention Zhuge Liang's artificial forecasting, even the high-tech weather forecasting of later generations, it is impossible to be [-]% accurate.

Liu Bei only has a daughter and no son yet. If he burps in the sea, Xuzhou and Jiangdong will be finished.

Furthermore, Jiangdong Xinding, although Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong handle various affairs, some special policies must be decided by Liu Bei, the master.

Therefore, Liu Bei must stay behind.

With Liu Bei around, Zhang Fei stayed in Xuzhou. Naturally, it would not be the same as before. No one could control him, and he did what he wanted, so that he offended Cao Bao and caused Liu Bei to lose Xuzhou.

Those left behind include Chen Dao, Yin Li, Chang Shi, Sun Guan, and Liao Hua.

Gong is naturally the person who followed Zhuge Liang to Yamatai.

Guan Yu was the first, followed by Xu Sheng, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Cao Bao, Mi Fang, Wu Dun, Sun Kang and others.

Guan Ping and Zhou Cang were with Guan Yu, so there was no need to say much.

Xu Sheng is Liu Bei's naval commander, equivalent to Gan Ning under Hua Yu's command.

This time we need to fight across the sea, Xu Sheng naturally has to follow.

As for Cao Bao and Mi Fang, Zhuge Liang brought them with them, so naturally the Cao family and the Mi family were afraid, and they didn't dare to do anything in Xuzhou.

Similarly, Zhuge Liang brought Wu Dun and Sun Kang to contain Zang Ba.

To say that Zhuge Liang has everything in mind and that he can consider all aspects is definitely not a nonsense, it is true.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang also recommended his elder brother Zhuge Jin to Liu Bei.

This Zhuge Jin is not good at fighting, but he is a good player in internal affairs, at least not inferior to Zhang Hong in ability.

In this way, there are people in Xuzhou and Jiangdong to handle internal affairs, and Zhang Fei and others are training troops, so Liu Bei will naturally be much more relaxed.

The only pity is that almost all the generals in Jiangdong were recruited by Sun Ce in advance, and in the end Liu Bei only recruited one Zhu Huan.

So, as a last resort, Liu Bei had to personally lead troops to Jiangdong to sit in town, leaving Zhang Fei to guard Xuzhou.

Fortunately, both Cao Bao and Mi Fang were taken away by Zhuge Liang, and Chen Deng was also at Zang Ba's place. It was basically impossible for the big gentry in Xuzhou to make any more tricks.

Zhuge Liang was busy preparing the army and preparing food and grass. He had calculated the weather conditions. After half a month, after a big typhoon, the sea from Xuzhou to Yamatai would be calm for a month.

After half a month, Zhuge Liang will send troops to attack Yamatai.
