The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Although Da Wan succumbed afterwards, it was only to make people succumb, but he failed to defeat others.At the same time, the materials consumed during the period were also the most discussed... For the time being, shouldn't we first consider the pacification of the thirteen prefectures, and then gradually open the Western Regions?

Because of their age and knowledge, the four of them have different understandings of this topic.

Fazheng is from Sizhou, so he has some understanding of the situation in the Western Regions.I feel that we should first conquer the thirteen states from the inside out, and then consider other things.To conquer the thirteen states, Jizhou and Youzhou in Hebei must be defeated.

Not only the rear area, but Jizhou is also an important grain-producing area.Youzhou is Liu Tao's hometown. At the same time, he can also buy horses from Xianbei and Wuhuan to supplement the cavalry.

Most of the land in the Central Plains has no mountains. As long as there are enough cavalry, the only choice for the princes of all parties is to close the city and defend it.Capture the Central Plains, then Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yanzhou and Jiaozhou will not be able to toss.

Until this time is the best time to go on an expedition, at least the conditions are ready for an expedition.

Just as I was about to write, I thought of Liu Tao's deliberately emphasized words.Feeling that something is wrong, could it be that Liu Tao's eyes are not only seeing the Western Regions?Could it be further west, further north, or further south?

Further north is already a place of bitter cold, and survival is a problem. How to develop?To the east is already a vast ocean, to the south is wild and poisonous wild mountains and forests, to the west is thousands of miles of yellow sand...

If it weren't for the fact that these places were really not suitable for survival, why did everyone fight back and forth in the Central Plains, in the thirteen states of Han Dynasty? !

If you are dissatisfied with the big man, you will directly drag your family and lead your mouth, run outside the region, establish large and small countries, and maybe you will be able to counterattack the big man in a few hundred years. Isn't this delicious? !

Forget it, if you die, you will die, and you must be persuaded. The thirteen states have not been defeated, so ambitious!Fazheng finally put pen to paper, mainly based on the last "loyalty" policy, he believes that this is the awareness that courtiers should have!

Sun Kuang didn't have so many ideas. He combined geographical maps and records. Didn't Liu Tao say it was far away?Then he can write as far as he can.From the north to the North Sea (Lake Baikal), the east side originally wanted to talk about the land of Sanhan, but after thinking about it, the country of Wa was included.

From the west to Daqin, anyway, there are books that record the existence of Daqin, saying that it is in the far west.To the south, the area of ​​Jiuzhen Nichinan must be counted no matter what...

Gu Yong is well-behaved, mainly due to the influence of Cai Yong's ideas, aiming at the thirteen states in the world, and at the same time admonishing the principle of "conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is difficult", hoping that after conquering the thirteen states, he should rest with the people, 30 In [-], if the national strength permits, it will not be too late to go abroad to conquer.

Huang Xu also has the same idea, although he doesn't mind expanding externally so that his father can continue to accumulate military merits.However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion and even earlier turmoil, the national strength of the great Han has been declining.

Now that the world is divided among the heroes, it will take a lot of time to pacify the world. After that, it is necessary to rest and recuperate for a period of time before it is suitable for continuing to fight, and it cannot be aggressive.

The four of them were writing like this, and while Liu Tao was waiting, he simply asked someone to bring a large piece of paper, and began to scribble on it with a charcoal pencil.

Guo Jia, the attendant, took a glance and felt that Liu Tao was drawing a map. At first it was just an outline and nothing could be seen. Later, he gradually realized that it was a panoramic view of a big man.The first is the coast, Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou...

Finally, the thirteen states in the world appeared on the drawing paper.Wait, this doesn't take up much space on the paper, does it?

Sure enough, Liu Tao continued to paint, firstly the Indochina Peninsula and the Southeast Asian Islands.To the east, a large piece of land in Siberia was drawn, and the four islands of Wa Kingdom were drawn.To the west, the area from the Western Regions to India is drawn.

This only occupied one-fifth of the area, and Guo Jia began to breathe rapidly. Your Majesty's picture is amazing!

The examinees wrote for about two hours. Of course, one hour is best if possible, after all, the emperor is waiting for their answers.It is hard to think about letting an emperor wait for them for two hours.

After Sun Kuang stopped writing, he noticed that His Majesty seemed to be drawing something, but he was not using a brush, but charcoal.Different from the large one, it is a small charcoal pencil that seems to be writing something.

As for Guo Jia next to him, he knew him, a somewhat frivolous dog-headed military adviser, and he was the one Liu Tao trusted the most.

The question is, why does he look like a ghost now?What is His Majesty writing?I'm curious, but I don't dare to look around, lest I get myself into trouble...

Finally, everyone stopped writing, including Liu Tao, who was the last one to stop.

"It's all done? Bring it up for me to have a look?" Liu Tao put down the charcoal pencil in his hand and said to the four with a smile.

The valet immediately brought up the answer sheet and put it in front of Liu Tao.You only need to read the test papers of four people, and it shouldn't be difficult to grade the papers.It's just that Liu Tao glanced at the content, and still couldn't help frowning.

Chapter 503 Liu Tao's Ambition (for Subscription)

It's not that the answer sheet is not good, but that it's a little too mediocre.Could it be that he still doesn't know the concept of 'to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside'?Just as a chess player, it is obviously unqualified to focus too much on the Central Plains.

From these four answer sheets, what he saw was the common fault of scholars in this era.I feel that the barbarians around me are vulnerable, but I don't like the "bitter cold place" of them, and feel that attacking them is "a waste of money" and "military".

I always think about knocking down the Central Plains first, highlighting the orthodoxy, and then start thinking about expanding.So that when the time comes, whether to occupy the land that has been conquered, or just to subdue the opponent, it is enough to have a "foreign country".

"Your vision is still a bit off..." Liu Tao looked at the four of them, and then at Sun Kuang, "And I'm not the type to be so happy that I can expand without limit."

Sun Kuang was a little embarrassed, he was still young, and his cheeks were slightly rosy.

After a pause, he continued: "I let you use your imagination and let you see farther, but your eyes are obviously still limited to the small pond in the Central Plains."

After finishing speaking, he motioned Guo Jia to take the 'painting' he had drawn.

Guo Jia took the painting, but felt that the 'painting' in his hand was heavy, holding it in his hand gave him a very sacred feeling.At the same time, he was also a little embarrassed. Before Liu Tao took out this map, his gaze was probably also in this small pond in the Central Plains.

This map was finally placed in front of the four of them.

At first glance, you can't see why, but after all, you are a Jinshi, and you are not stupid.Soon, they discovered the shape of the big man above, mainly because the thirteen states of the big man were marked with small clerks.Of course, this font is different from common ones, it is hard-tipped characters after all.

"If the big man is here, then these..." The four of them quickly realized that something was wrong, the big man was only so small, so what are the rest?Take a closer look, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Wusun, Qiang and Southern Huns are all marked.

Looking east, I saw Buyeo, Goguryeo and Samhan, and to the south of Samhan, there is a large island across Tsushima Island.Sun Kuang immediately realized that this is the country of Wa!

Counting the whole territory, it is about the size of Jizhou, which is smaller than that of Sizhou... But this area is wild at best, but it is definitely not a place of bitter cold!By comparison, it is in the east of Xuzhou, the climate must be okay!

To the south, there is still such a large piece of land in the west of Jiuzhen Rinan County?In addition, Shendu is actually here, Dawan, Yuezhi Kingdom, Anxi, Daqin... Wait, what is going on with this vast land south of Daqin?And what about the larger continent to the east of the sea? !

"This is the world map, the whole picture of the world we live in!" Liu Tao revealed the answer, although everyone had already guessed the answer at the beginning.

This is a rectangular picture, so many people don't know that the earth is actually round.Liu Tao didn't intend to popularize science either, after all, it might not be easy to really prove this point in his lifetime, so he simply didn't bother to prove it.

The thoughts in the hearts of the four people were confirmed, and they were a little excited.At the same time, I am also curious, how did Liu Tao know what the world really looks like?

"I know you have questions, but you are not allowed to ask questions!" Liu Tao looked at the four of them, "Ask is the magic trick!"

Having said all this, what else can the four of them say, they can only obediently look down at the map, and they can't help complaining in their hearts: It's amazing to know how to use immortality?Can it be unreasonable! ?

"This world is very big..." Liu Tao said suddenly, "There are many civilizations, and the big man is not alone, nor is he the only existence in this world, nor is he necessarily the most powerful existence.

If we can't look at the world, then we are the only ones who will suffer in the end. Of course, this is not the real purpose of this palace examination question.What I really hope is that you jump out of the Central Plains and make arrangements from the world. "

Then, he came to them, pointed to the country of Wa, and said: "For example, if we take a boat from here, then Xuzhou and Yangzhou are within our attack range. If it is not enough, we will take down Ryukyu and Taiwan as Our outpost."

At that time, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River will not be natural moats, and the Han army can freely log in along the coast, even establish ports and military strongholds, and then launch surprise attacks from the rear.

"At the same time, there are some things you don't know..." Liu Tao pointed to the north of Yinshan Mountain, "There are rich iron ore resources here, as long as we knock down here, then our weapons and armor will be produced continuously. It is to expel the Xianbei, or conquer them."

Then he clicked on Qinghai Lake, and continued: "This is a salt lake, which produces more salt than the salt lake in Qiangyin County and several salt ponds in Sanshui County. As long as we can win here, our salt Don't be afraid of being blocked!"

In fact, there has never been a lack of salt these days since it was not a franchise.It's just that the specifications of salt sold in the market are not uniform, so the price is a bit confusing.Cao Cao in history, during the period of food shortage, there was no shortage of salt at all, and it could be used to marinate meat.

Qiangyin County is north of Yanmen Great Wall and is an important salt producing area of ​​Budugen and Kebineng.Since these two forces have become entrenched, it is not easy to get salt from there.

In addition, there is Anding Sanshui County, where there are special salt mines, and salt officials have been set up to mine in the Western Han Dynasty.However, what Liu Tao valued was Beidi County, where Yanchi of the later generations was located, but there seemed to be no county yet...

Another source of salt is either imported from Yizhou or from Kanto.To manage the big man well, the blockade of salt, iron and food must be resolved, otherwise nothing else can be discussed.

In fact, when it comes to farming, the north of Yinshan Mountain is the prairie, and there are many areas along the river. Among other things, sorghum, wheat, and soybeans can definitely be grown.In addition, if the Baiyun iron ore is mined, it will also solve the iron problem.

"When you become officials in the future, as long as you have talent, you will even one day become the prime minister of a great man." Liu Tao looked at several people, "If your vision is poor, then it is easy to be hindered by the difficulties in front of you, and you can't see it." A way to break the game."
