The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Hahaha." Chen Ziming shook his head and said: "The general's heart can be hidden from me."

In fact, Chen Ziming was not sure whether this Zhang Ren really wanted to serve Liu Bei. After all, a foolish and loyal person like Zhang Ren is not so easy to talk about. He pretended to surrender and took advantage of the situation. This kind of thing is not a legend. Jiang Wei did it in history. over this kind of thing.

But it would be a pity to let people like Zhang Ren go unused. In the end, Chen Ziming could only send Zhang Ren to Bingzhou, which is far away from Linzi. wishful thinking.

In Liu Bei's army, it was not the words of the chief general. Without an order from the military department, the chief general should not even think about dropping a single soldier out of his defense zone. If Zhang Ren dared to commit rebellion, the soldiers who had been ideologically educated would hack him to death.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziming boldly handed over the first army to Zhang Ren. Chen Ziming was not afraid of Zhang Ren's rebellion at all, because Zhang Ren didn't have this ability at all, and these soldiers were not Yizhou soldiers.

"The Prime Minister doesn't believe it, so why use someone." Zhang Ren's face remained unchanged, and he was not moved by Chen Ziming's words.

Chen Ziming said noncommittally: "I don't need to know who the general is loyal to. I just want to tell the general that as a general, he should have the responsibility of guarding the land. He should put the country first and die for the people."

"Wu Junhu?" Zhang Ren asked Chen Ziming immediately after hearing what Chen Ziming said. Liu Bei and the emperor were not mentioned in Chen Ziming's words.

Chen Ziming said with a serious face: "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least. This is what I wish in my heart, and it is also what my elder brother thinks."

"As a subject, one can be without a king." Zhang Ren was moved by Chen Ziming's words, but it violated his order of allegiance, and he immediately objected.

Chen Ziming got up, walked slowly and said: "The people I serve are the people of the world, and the ones I give are the great men of all ages. I don't care about rights, I don't mean to be famous forever, I only want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the great man will last forever. Not to be occupied by foreign races, and the people of the Han Dynasty will not be tortured and killed by foreign races."

This is why Chen Ziming has been working so hard and running around, not for Liu Bei, nor for the continuation of the Han royal family, but for the prosperity and continuation of China.

After Zhang Ren heard this, he bowed his head and remained silent, not knowing what to think. Chen Ziming didn't say anything when he saw this, and turned around to leave. The words have already been said. If Zhang Ren still has Liu Zhang in his heart and wants to rebel, such a foolish and loyal person, No matter how talented you are, what's the use of keeping it.

Three days later, under the repeated urging of Guan Yu, Chen Ziming and others set off for Linzi, but stayed in Guandu for a while, where Zhang Liao's army was stationed, followed by Ma Chao and Zang Ba's army. Not at all.

As for why so many soldiers and horses are stationed here, just look at the terrain. Adjacent to Guandu are Chenliu, Baima, and Sishuiguan. A battleground for military strategists.

In such an important place, Chen Ziming directly threw Zhang Liao here, and stared at Guandu. This place may also become one of the main directions for attacking Cao Cao.

"Wenyuan, we must grasp the waters of the Yellow River as soon as possible, and look for Guandu to wait for a place suitable for the army to cross the river. We will secretly build a ferry and wait for the opportunity."

Zhang Liao is guarding this place, Chen Ziming is very relieved, but Zhang Liao's task is not only guarding, but also preparing to attack, and the first danger of the attack is the natural danger of the Yellow River. Compared with the natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jiangdong, the danger of the Yellow River does not give up .

"Although Cao's army has warships, it has no water army. If it is attacked, it will be helpless." Zhang Liao knew the situation of Cao's army on the other side of the Yellow River very well. Cao Cao had no intention of developing a water army. The main thing is that Liu Bei put too much pressure on Cao Cao on land. Cao Cao had to use limited resources to build the army, so that he could have the strength to be positive with Liu Beigang.

Cao Cao didn't want to learn from Jiangdong, build a strong naval force, and rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to defend. With the defensive force, it also limited Jiangdong's offensive ability. Cao Cao didn't want to see this. In terms of offense and defense, Cao Cao chose to attack .

"Cao Cao, with me now, you have no chance of turning the tables." Chen Ziming looked at the surging water of the Yellow River, slightly excited. The battle at Guandu was inevitable. Can Cao Cao turn the tables and soar into the sky like in the past? .

But Liu Bei is not Yuan Shao, and Chen Ziming is not Guo Tu, Xu You and others. If he really fights Cao Cao at Guandu, Chen Ziming is confident that he can defeat Cao Cao here.

Chen Ziming left, aiming directly at Linzi, went out for a walk, got a general idea of ​​the situation in Liu Bei's territory, and could start to formulate a new development direction after returning.

It's a pity that the time is still too short, I didn't go to many places, and I didn't observe many details. For example, Hanzhong, such an important place, Chen Ziming didn't go to investigate in person. Besides, what is going on in Dizhou now? According to the collected information, it is very abstract.

However, it is impossible to invest too much resources in Dizhou now. To develop Dizhou, we need to wait until after the end of the war. This is not urgent.

"Ziming, the military department is in a hurry, the military expenditure is exhausted, and the production of Thunderbolt cars may stop at any time, look at the military expenditure..."

As soon as they returned to Linzi, and as soon as the two entered the gate, Guan Yu couldn't wait to raise the issue of military expenses. He remembered that Chen Ziming had promised him that the military expenses would be covered by Chen Ziming.

"Second brother, you are too anxious. I'll go see elder brother first." After returning, of course, I have to go to Liu Bei to report first, and at the same time report to Liu Bei the situation in various places, as well as the precautions in various aspects.

"That's good. Lao Ziming will tell you about the military expenses." Guan Yu smiled immediately. He thought that Chen Ziming was going to ask Liu Bei for military expenses, and he wanted to get money from Liu Bei. Only Chen Ziming had the ability. .

Chapter 578 After Returning

"Ziming has always been prudent, how could he be so reckless this time, going deep into the grassland and almost costing his life, it really shouldn't be." As soon as we met, before Chen Ziming opened his mouth, Liu Bei was drooling at Chen Ziming.

Apparently, Chen Ziming reported to Liu Bei about going from the grassland to Yanmen Pass, and Xu Sheng and Zhang Ji's battle reports had already been sent.

While rewarding Xu Sheng and Zhang Ji heavily, they also ordered Chen Ziming not to do such dangerous things on their territory in the future.

You must know that a scribe like Chen Ziming, who has no power to restrain a chicken, will lose his life if he is not careful on the chaotic battlefield. Liu Bei is very clear about how dangerous the battlefield is.

"Brother, don't be angry, younger brother will never do such a dangerous thing next time." Chen Ziming hastily lowered his head. Although Liu Bei had good intentions and sincerely cared about Chen Ziming's safety, it's not a big deal to talk like this.

"Hey." Seeing this, Liu Bei knew that Chen Ziming had his own opinions, and he couldn't persuade them with a few words.

But it’s not good to scold Chen Ziming, and it’s not good to scold Guan Yu. Immediately, there was a burst of cursing at Guan Yu. Of course, the language was very euphemistic.

Guan Yu also knew that he was careless in this matter. Although Chen Ziming proposed to go to the grassland, he also nodded in agreement, and brazenly said that he would cut down the invading enemy by himself, but in the end Chen Ziming was in deep danger.

But even if he knew he was wrong, he couldn't bow his head. Even when facing his elder brother, Guan Yu would not admit his mistake. He raised his head slightly, closed his eyes tightly, and made Liu Bei furious.

Zhang Fei, who heard the news, was also scolded by Liu Bei for a while, but Zhang Fei was used to it, and this time the second brother was standing in front, Zhang Fei felt that Liu Bei scolded a little lightly, standing next to Guan Yu and looking around, yes It wasn't that he was flirting with Chen Ziming, which made Liu Bei feel powerless for a while.

His two brothers are both filthy, which makes Liu Bei very helpless, but it is serious, and Liu Bei can't bear it. In the end, he can only let it go and punish Guan Yu, it doesn't matter, anyway, Guan Yu doesn't care, Liu Bei's is Guan Yu's , Guan Yu would not starve to death if Liu Bei ate a mouthful of food.

In the end, Liu Bei could only compromise and submit to his two brothers.Liu Bei can only blame himself for the crime. It is because he has not educated the two brothers well, and it is because he is incapable.

Chen Ziming watched the performance of the three brothers, expressing that it was very interesting. At the same time, he also saw that the brotherhood of the three brothers could no longer be affected by anything.No wonder in history, when Guan Yu died, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei lost their minds in an instant.

"Brother, this fast tour..."

Seeing that Liu Bei was not asking questions, Chen Ziming hurriedly opened his mouth, telling Liu Bei what he had seen and heard during this tour, and at the same time put forward some opinions on political reform of his own.

"Ziming worked hard, this is the elder brother's fault." Liu Bei could also see that Chen Ziming was exhausted, so he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly finished the matter, letting Chen Ziming go back to rest.

As for the details, don't be in a hurry, wait for Chen Ziming to rest, and then talk in detail slowly. If there is something important, Chen Ziming will say it. If there is no, then it is not important. Anyway, he has plenty of time now.

Seeing Chen Ziming getting up to leave, Guan Yu, who was silent at the side, panicked and hurriedly grabbed Chen Ziming and said, "Ziming, do you have something to say to elder brother?"

After a while of hints, Chen Ziming realized this time that Second Brother Guan wanted him to ask Liu Bei for money.

The speechless Chen Ziming couldn't get rid of Guan Yu's iron hand, so he could only helplessly look at Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, the national treasury is empty now, money is needed everywhere, and taxation has a budget. There is no more money than money. At this time, I will be a big brother who does not work." , I have my own way of making money."

"Yun Chang don't want to imitate Yide, let go quickly." Liu Bei originally thought that Guan Yu asked Chen Ziming to say something important, but as soon as Chen Ziming opened his mouth, Liu Bei guessed the whole story. Guan Yu turned his mind on Chen Ziming.

Zhang Fei on the side heard Liu Bei mentioning him again, and asked him to blame him again. He was speechless for a while, but when he heard that it was about military expenses, his eyes lit up. His heavy cavalry weapons and armor were still far behind. Buy.

"Second brother, after five days, I guarantee that the military expenditure required by the military department will be exactly the same." Liu Bei opened his mouth, but Guan Yu still didn't intend to let go. Chen Ziming knew that if he didn't give Guan Yu a satisfactory answer today, he wanted to go home and sleep Great awareness is impossible.

"Very good." After hearing Chen Ziming's assurance, Guan Yu let go of his big hand in satisfaction. At the same time, he thought to himself, how could Chen Ziming get a huge amount of money in five days without taking money from the treasury.

Liu Bei on the side also became interested. He knew how big the gap in the military department was. Even Liu Bei couldn't make up for this huge gap. He was wondering how Chen Ziming got so much money.

As for Zhang Fei, he was already smiling. From his point of view, Chen Ziming said that he would have money in five days, so he must be right. As for how to get it, Zhang Fei didn't care about it. Anyway, he only wanted money.

When Chen Ziming returned home, he had a good rest for a day, and it was rare to relax. Since Liu Bei's strength has become stronger and his territory has become larger, such days have become fewer and fewer. Chen Ziming does not want to do it himself, but many things are only done by him Can do well, only he can control the correct direction of development.

If the big talents in Liu Bei's hands are allowed to do it, the result is just copying history and repeating history. The advantage is only higher efficiency. This is not the result Chen Ziming wants. What Chen Ziming wants is long-term and correct development.

It was rare that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't come to disturb Chen Ziming's rest. Liu Bei gave a death order not to disturb Chen Ziming these few days. Guan Yu was sensible and he hadn't been home for a long time.

As for Zhang Fei, Liu Bei directly issued a military order to let him take the heavy cavalry out for training. When he will come back depends on Liu Bei's mood.
