The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Did Ziming say, Jizhou?" Liu Bei asked Chen Ziming thoughtfully.

"That's right, as my elder brother said, Jizhou is the only way out for Cao Cao. Yuan Shao has gone, and Yuan Shang is an incompetent generation. Although he has many great talents to assist him, it is difficult for him to control the overall situation.

If the three Yuan brothers work together, neither we nor Cao Cao can easily capture Jizhou. It is a pity that Yuan Shao is so stubborn that he abandons the elders to support the younger. The young and mediocre can hardly control the overall situation in Hebei.

Over time, the eldest son, Yuan Tan, will surely gather the crowd to stand on his own, and Jizhou and Bingzhou will surely disintegrate, and their strength will drop greatly.At that time, the weak side will definitely not be reconciled to defeat.

Then he would think of asking for help from others. Whether Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang was at a disadvantage, Cao Cao would be the first to come to his mind. With one of these two for help, Cao Cao's army could justifiably enter Hebei.

With Cao Cao's ability, his army entered Hebei, and neither Jizhou nor Bingzhou could stop his elite army.At that time, Cao Cao used the land of the four states and had millions of mercenaries, and no one in the world could stop him. "

Chen Ziming said the worst situation. After all, if the Yuan brothers wanted to find foreign aid, they would definitely choose Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would also send people to carry out activities.

As for Liu Bei, everyone knows that the Yuan brothers will not and dare not come to Liu Bei. Liu Bei is their father-killing enemy.

"Then what to do, may we need to mobilize the army, Chen Bing Xuzhou and other places, so that Cao Mengde has no intention of going north?" Liu Bei didn't want such a thing to happen, otherwise Liu Bei's life in the future would be sad.

Once Cao Cao really occupies Jizhou and Bingzhou, then Cao Cao can block Liu Bei on the west coast. It is difficult to have Sun Ce in Yangzhou. The north is a barren grassland. It is too difficult to develop overseas places, unless you find a big state like Fuzhou and immigrate there.

"It's difficult. If the Yuan brothers welcome you, Cao Cao only needs to mobilize [-] troops to easily occupy Ji and the two states. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Yangzhou will not easily send troops to deal with Cao Cao. Yuan Shu's incompetent generation, Cao Cao only needs to Sending [-] troops can keep Yuan Shu out of Yuzhou, and the remaining [-] troops are enough to stop our army from attacking."

Chen Ziming didn't think that this would be able to contain Cao Cao. The current Cao Cao is not the same as Cao Cao a few years ago. According to secret reports from the secret guards, when Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou, he recruited nearly 20 troops from Yuan Shu. The state recruited 20 young and strong, and trained them while farming. Now Cao Cao has nearly 60 soldiers and horses.

In particular, the clans in Yanzhou and Yuzhou fully supported Cao Cao, asking for money for money, food for food, and talents for talents.After Cao Cao occupied Yuzhou, he got a large number of talents to join him. Whether he was a general or a counselor, he was no worse than the Liu Bei Group.

"What should I do? Does Ziming have a way to deal with it?" In terms of strategy, Liu Bei's ability is really limited, and it is much worse than Cao Cao's.

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are very powerful, and there are many capable people around them to support, especially Yuan Shang, who was appointed by Yuan Shao to succeed him. The great talents Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Ju Shou, etc. are all conspired by them. Yuan Tan is probably not his enemy.

However, both of them are strong, and there are many families behind them. Cao Cao will definitely choose Yuan Tan, who is weak, and secretly support Yuan Tan. When the time is right, Cao Cao's army can enter Jizhou and other places. "Chen Ziming analyzed the strength of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and determined that Cao Cao would choose Yuan Tan to support.

"I mean Ziming, I secretly support Yuan Shang, but I have a vengeance against him for killing his father, and will he accept my assistance?" Liu Bei is not an idiot either, Yuan Shang still has other options, and the possibility of choosing Liu Bei is very small.

"Hehe, whether it's us or Cao Cao, we can't hide the plan of Jizhou from Tian Feng and the others. Yuan Shang is surrounded by great talents, and will let us take advantage of it. Yuan Shang can't do it." Chen Ziming shook Shaking his head, he had experienced Tian Feng's abnormality. If Tian Feng hadn't come out to sabotage, maybe now that Chen Ziming had led an army into Jizhou, what would happen to Yuan Shang, Cao Cao and others.

"Yuan Tan will definitely accept Cao Cao's help, and Yuan Shang can't seek help. Is it possible that the only way is to attack Jizhou and other places?" Liu Bei will not give up the two pieces of fat in Jizhou and Bingzhou. After spending so much manpower and material resources, he finally killed Yuan Shao. , He disabled the Yuan family in Hebei, how could he just give up like this.

"Hehe, my lord, Yuan Shao is not the only son of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang." Chen Ziming said with a sudden smile.

"Oh, what Ziming is referring to is Yuan Xi, but as far as I know, Yuan Xi doesn't have much ability, and whether he has the support of a big family behind him, his strength is the weakest, and he may not be the enemy of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang." Liu Bei frowned, He looked at Chen Ziming puzzled.

"Because of this, I let my eldest brother choose Yuan Xi, because Yuan Xi is the weakest, needs help the most, and is the easiest to control, and he is the son of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang is qualified to inherit Yuan Shao's position, so Yuan Xi is also qualified to compete some.

We only need to secretly support Yuan Xi and cultivate some strength for him. When Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are both defeated, let Yuan Xi raise the banner high, and then lead the elder brother's troops into Jizhou and Bingzhou. place.

After the matter is completed, the eldest brother can give Yuan Xi a high position and place him in Linzi City. Since his strength is weak, he will definitely not bring too much trouble to the eldest brother. "Chen Ziming understood very well that it was impossible for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to lead Liu Bei's army into Hebei. Even if these two idiots were willing, the people around them would not agree.

But Yuan Xi is different, no one cares about the second child at all, the real high or low, does not have the unique status of the boss, can not be loved by the old man, he is the most miserable guy.

Because of this, once such a person's ambition is ignited, it will be out of control. He doesn't care if it is his father-killing enemy, as long as it can help him get what he wants, he is willing to cooperate with anyone.

Moreover, Yuan Xi was the easiest to control because of his weak strength. After the matter was completed, raising him in captivity and making him an easygoing marquis would be considered worthy of him.

As for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, with Cao Cao making trouble behind their backs, it would be difficult for the two brothers not to fight. What Chen Ziming has to do is to secretly control Yuan Xi. Once the time is right, he will fight Cao Cao for Jizhou and Bingzhou. Who's method is clever.

Chen Ziming and Liu Bei discussed in the middle of the night, and finally completed the strategy of Hebei. Poor Yuan Shao, just after he died, his sons were missed by everyone, and even his second child who was ignored by the world was pulled out by Chen Ziming. live.

The next day, Chen Ziming didn't sleep in. After all, it was an extraordinary time and there were too many things he needed to do. Chen Ziming began to think about Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, two little perverts. He really needed a capable helper now.

At noon, Liu Bei hosted a banquet for merchants from various clans and clans in Linzi City. Of course, it was not a pure treat for dinner. Liu Bei was interested in the huge amount of money in their pockets.

Originally, when Liu Bei asked to borrow money, many clans and businessmen secretly calculated how much to borrow. They didn't care about the interest at all. The main reason was that Liu Bei had to give it to save face. An embarrassment, if you give them a little bit, they will suffer.

"For the sake of the people of the great Han, I would like to donate eight layers of family property to support the relief of typhoid fever in Pei County." After Liu Bei's tearful speech, before other clans and businessmen could speak, Chen Ziming was the first to stand up and express his opinion. Layer family property.

The clans and businessmen present were stunned for a moment, and then all of them looked ugly. Chen Ziming didn't say how much he would give out, just a word, eight-story family property.

But what is Chen Ziming's family property, he is a widow, and he was a poor scholar before he followed Liu Bei. After a few years, how much money does he have?

Not to mention the eighth floor, even if Chen Ziming took out all his family property, it would be good to be able to compare with the first floor of those aristocratic families, and those centuries-old super aristocratic families need not be compared, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"On behalf of the Chen family in Xuzhou, I will take out six floors of the family property to help Peijun." After Chen Ziming, the first person to stand up was not Liu Bei's hardcore general Mi Zhu, but Chen Si, the patriarch of the Chen family in Xuzhou.

One of Chen Si's statement surprised everyone present again, because Chen Si's statement did not represent his Xuzhou Chen family, but the entire Xuzhou family. For the rest, the Chen family is the main one.

Chen Si couldn't help it, his son was too disappointing and offended Chen Ziming. After he went back that day, he heard Chen Ze tell the story of the inn that day, and after carefully reading the poem written by Chen Ziming, he was shocked. He hurriedly found his most outstanding son Chen Deng to discuss.

From that poem, it is not difficult to find that Chen Ziming is very disgusted with the corrupt life of the children of the aristocratic family, so it can be seen that Chen Ziming is very disgusted with these aristocratic families.

Moreover, Chen Si and Chen Deng are both in high positions, and they know a lot about Chen Ziming's conquest of Youzhou.Reminiscent of Chen Ziming killing the nobles of Sanhan and the aristocratic families of Goguryeo, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

They finally thought that Liu Bei and Chen Ziming had strictly controlled the strength of the clans in various places, whether in terms of local governance or the appointment of high-level officials. It could even be said to be suppressed, but it was not obvious, but the means were very clever. The effect is also surprisingly good, and it has not attracted the attention of the clan.

Liu Bei started to attack the clan before he took control of the world. Once Liu Bei truly owns the world and has great power in his hands, the fate of these clans that affect Liu Bei's rule can be imagined.

After waking up, Chen Si immediately asked Chen Ze to go back to Xiapi to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and not to go out without his permission, and then hurriedly contacted the head of the clan he had made friends with, and the final result was self-deprecation.

Only in this way can they survive and their family can continue under Liu Bei's rule.No one knows better than them how terrifying the current Liu Bei Group is and how great its potential is. Don't look at the lack of money everywhere under Liu Bei's rule, but the talent.

But if Liu Bei is really in a hurry, it is not impossible to send an army of hundreds of thousands to go out. Moreover, Liu Bei's control over the various places under his rule is so strong that he does not allow clans like them to intervene. As for the army, if you want to die, then reach out and try try.

So Chen Si and others decided that no matter whether Liu Bei wanted money or land, they would follow the hemorrhage and spend money to eliminate disasters, which is why Chen Si came out today.

You must know that the Chen family in Xuzhou has been a big family for hundreds of years, with countless wealth and six floors of family property, which is a very terrifying figure.

Chen Si's statement not only frightened the others, but also Chen Ziming. Even if his son accidentally offended him, there was no need for Chen Si to make such a statement.

But soon, Chen Ziming wanted to understand why Chen Si did this. The problem was that he plagiarized Du Fu's poem. It seems that there are many smart people in the world.

Before other people could react, the clan heads of Xuzhou Wang family, Li family, Wu family and other clans immediately stood up and expressed their opinions. Those who had more were willing to give away five-tier family properties, and those who were less willing to give up three-tier family properties, and explained like Chen Si that these All of them were donated free of charge for the relief of natural disasters in Pei County.

Such a move made Mi Zhu, who was going to act as a babysitter, at a loss. He prepared [-] gold, which was a very huge number, but it was much stingier compared to these families who directly took out several layers of family property.

Mi Zhu looked at the silent Chen Ziming and the cramp-faced Liu Bei, gritted his teeth, stood up and announced loudly that he was willing to give away seven layers of family property.

Mi Zhu's seven-story family property is not comparable to that of Chen Ziming's eight-story family. As the head of rich merchants in Xuzhou, the Mi family is not as rich as the Chen family in terms of talents and background, but it is not inferior to the Chen family in terms of money. Even after several years of rapid development, the wealth owned by the Mi family may have surpassed that of the Chen family accumulated over hundreds of years.

No one has calculated the exact amount of the seven-story family property, but everyone knows that this is definitely a very scary number.

The reason why Mi Zhu did this was to express his loyalty to Liu Bei. As Liu Bei's uncle, he had to take the lead. The second reason was that Mi Zhu knew that Liu Bei and Chen Ziming were very dissatisfied with the powerful clans in various places. Many policies seemed to be fine, but In the long run, it will definitely be a fatal blow to those clans.
