The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1119
Li Xianzhong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were defeated and returned to Jiujiang. We have pacified Yan, Xu, and Henan. We should take advantage of the momentum and attack Jiangdong from Xuzhou, Jiujiang from Yuzhou, and Chaisang from Jingzhou along the river. Sending troops from three directions, Jiangdong will be pacified by the end of this year, I don't know why His Majesty chooses to recuperate."

Wei Xiaokuan smiled, and said to Li Xianzhong: "Li Shangshu, the three ways you said to send troops, in fact, only one is feasible. First of all, Xuzhou, the Jiangdong side guards the Yangtze River as a natural barrier. Xuzhou has no navy, how can it go south to the Yangtze River?

And from Yuzhou to attack Jiujiang and Lujiang, Sun Ce has now accumulated food and grass in these two places and built city gates.Sun Ce is different from Zhao Guangyi, he is very popular, we have no way to deal with Sun Ce like we dealt with Zhao Guangyi.

If it is a strong attack, it will be difficult for many years. Therefore, the three routes you mentioned are only feasible in Jingzhou. "

Li Xianzhong said firmly: "Sun Ce is newly defeated and his morale is low. Even if Jingzhou can go all the way, we can still win by attacking."

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and said: "No, Jiangdong is the natural moat of the Yangtze River. Above the Yangtze River, our Jiangdong navy can't take advantage of the Jiangdong army. If the two armies of Yuzhou and Xuzhou cannot make achievements, then we can only rely on the army of Jingzhou. Horses are also hard to get off for years.”

"That's not the most important thing!" Liu Bian shook his head after listening to the conversation between Wei Xiaokuan and Li Xianzhong, and said, "In the matter of conquest, we should pay attention to step-by-step progress, and don't be greedy for merit. Now that our army has won the three states, the morale of the army is greatly boosted." It is true, but the soldiers are gradually becoming arrogant. If they continue to attack Jiangdong, they will inevitably suffer losses.

And once setbacks, then Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and so on may fall back into the opponent's hands.

This is the first, and the second is the problem of food and grass. If our army continues to attack Sun Ce, although there is enough food and grass in the rear, it will be too wasteful to transport it from the rear.In addition, the three prefectures are initially determined, and the people will also need to consume money and food when they return to their homes. "

Liu Bian paused, and continued: "So I decided to recuperate and not use troops in the south for the time being. However, recuperation also requires a specific plan. I called you to go, but I hope to discuss a specific plan and then implement it according to the plan. In this way, the strength of the three states can be restored in the shortest possible time."

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to recuperate, you must implement three strategies. The first is to support the people, the second is to govern, and the second is to organize the army."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "That's right, these are the three most important tasks for recuperation, Ai Qing can elaborate!"

Guo Jia talked eloquently: "In terms of raising people, we can divide them into three points! First, count the registered population of the three prefectures! Second, resettle the people and return them to their hometowns! Third, resume production so that the people can support themselves in the shortest possible time. Self-sufficient!"

Liu Bian mused, "Now it's mid-June, and rice and wheat cannot be sown. If we want to resume production, we should introduce corn and sweet potatoes that are suitable for this season to sow in the three states. These two crops are easy to sow and do not need to be added. Take care, and the maturity period is short. Now the seeds can be harvested until October this year. If the weather is good, the people in the three states will be self-sufficient this year, and there is no need for the imperial court to supply grain and grass.

Fortunately, the Yanzhou side said that the household registration has been counted and the people have been resettled properly. Now sweet potatoes and corn can be imported for planting.However, Yuzhou and Xuzhou have just settled down. If you want to count the household registration and resettle the people, the planting will be delayed! "

Wei Xiaokuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the people in Yuzhou, Yingchuan, and Chenjun have already returned home. The other three counties should also send the people back home as soon as possible, and settle down first. There is no rush to check the household registration. The first priority is planting. If the planting is delayed, the wheat must be planted in winter. In this way, the imperial court needs to support the people until the wheat matures in May next year.

The same is true in Xuzhou. The separated people have to return to their homes in the shortest possible time to carry out planting work, and the household registration can be carried out slowly during the period! "

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded in agreement, and said: "Xiaokuan is right, the people must be allowed to return to their homes as soon as possible to plant, otherwise the imperial court will supply the people of Henan and Xu Erzhou with grain and grass for a year, even if other states and counties have a lot of grain. , it is also difficult to support!"

Liu Bian then said, "What's your opinion on governance?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty can issue an edict to select officials who are the most important officials in governance, and select officials from among the original officials. Henan, Xu, and Yan are big states in the Central Plains, and the style of writing is prosperous. Pass the assessment. The talents are enough to fill the vacancies in the three states.

After the selection of talents is completed, they will be sent to various places to take up positions. After the people are self-sufficient next year, other road and water conservancy constructions will be carried out. "

Wei Xiaokuan also said: "As for the whole army, we should select the young and strong in the three states, train them, and prepare for the future attack on Jiangdong."

Liu Bian nodded, pondered for a while and said: "Following Xiao to draw up an edict for me, the first edict, Lingqing, Ji, Sili, and Jing four prefectures, mobilize thousands of craftsmen from each prefecture, and 30 stones of grain and grass come here. Craftsmen Responsible for repairing houses for the people in Henan and Xuzhou, and using grain and grass for the farming period of the people in Henan and Xuzhou! The second edict issued an order to You, and Shuo three prefectures, and each prefecture mobilized [-] cattle here for the common people's farming !

After ordering Xuzhou Chen Qingzhi to pacify Xuzhou, the people will be settled properly as soon as possible, and the rest of the affairs will not be taken care of for the time being! "

The two handed over and took the order: "No!"

Liu Bian continued: "Although the war is over now, the governance of the three states cannot be completed overnight, so I decided not to return to Beijing for the time being. Feng Xiao, since I can't return to Beijing for a short time, I will be in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. Choose a city in the prefecture to be the temporary capital and coordinate the whole army, what suggestions do you have?"

Guo Jia pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Pengcheng, Xuzhou, is located in the center of the three states. 400 years ago, Xiang Yu once established the capital for this purpose. It has a large scale and complete facilities. It can be called a Lindu!"

"Pengcheng?" Liu Bian heard the words, walked to the map, looked at it for a while and said: "Yes, Pengcheng is located in the center of the three states. It is large in scale and can coordinate the overall situation. It is very suitable as a temporary capital. The generals will make preparations and wait for the people to return. After the township, move the government office to Pengcheng!"

Yue Fei cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder how Yuzhou will arrange it?"

Liu Bian murmured: "As for Yuzhou, Yingchuan is guarded by Li Dian, Chenjun has Zhu Ling, Runan has Xie Xuan, and Peiguo has Zhang Xian. They are all capable of both civil and military skills. It is not a problem to resettle the people, the only thing missing is A person who coordinates the overall situation.

During Zhang Xian's guarding of Runan, one of his subordinates joined the army to offer advice and suggestions to protect Qiao County. His name was Yu Qian, and he was very capable.Now that there is a shortage of talents everywhere, Yu Qian can be sent here. I will see if he has real talents and learning. If he can, I will entrust him with a big responsibility.

In addition, in the Battle of Runan, Pingyu City was destroyed, thanks to the help of Xu Da and Tan Daoji, a hero in the city, it is said that they came here, and I will be of great use. "

After the order was issued, all places fell into a busy state.

Time flies, and half a month has passed.

Yu Qian has already arrived in Shangqiu, but Pingyu is getting far away from Shangqiu, so Xu Da and others have not arrived yet.

After Yu Qian arrived in Shangqiu, Liu Bian made an assessment, and appointed him as the interim governor of Yuzhou, and was temporarily responsible for the people's livelihood in Yuzhou.

In the past half month, due to the strong walls and clear fields in Yuzhou, the people gathered in various cities have all returned home.The people had no time to do other things when they returned home, so the imperial court ordered the people to open up wasteland and prepare to sow seeds.

Yuzhou is the closest to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou immediately transported the corn and sweet potato seeds.

On this day, Liu Bian finished his official duties, and took all the civil and military officials out of the city for a private visit, intending to see how the people's sowing was going.After all, this is the top priority at present. Only by solving the problem of food for the people can we discuss construction and governance.

I came to a village outside the city, but the fields were still barren and hadn't been reclaimed.

Liu Bian showed displeasure, and said, "What's going on, why hasn't the field been cultivated?"

Yu Qian cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have ordered that after the people return home, the village chief will be selected based on the village to gather the people to cultivate. Corn and sweet potato seeds have been delivered to Jingzhou, and I have sent people to distribute them to various places, but I don't know Why don't the people till the land!"

"Go to the village and have a look!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

Liu Bian led a group of civil and military personnel into the village, and saw that the people were busy, but they were busy repairing houses.

Yu Qian stepped forward and shouted: "The imperial court is here, where is the village chief?"

An old man in his fifties hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "This old man is the head of this village. Who are the adults?"

Yu Qian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, the imperial court ordered that after returning home, the land should be reclaimed for planting crops as soon as possible. Why are these fields still barren?"

The village chief looked at Yu Qian and said with disdain: "My lord, my lord, are you afraid that your ten fingers will not touch the spring water? Do you know that I can grow rice and wheat in Yuzhou. But these two crops are not grown in this season now. The imperial court ordered us to reclaim the land, what are we planting! We haven’t been home for so long, the house is dilapidated, the first thing we need to do is to repair the house.”

Yu Qian asked: "Aren't the seeds distributed to every village? You don't know what to plant?"

"My lord, what are the seeds you gave us?" The village head heard this and brought Liu Bian and his party to a dilapidated house in the village. The seeds in it were corn and sweet potato.The village head pointed to the seeds on the ground, with a puzzled expression on his face: "The yellow imperial court said it was corn. We have never seen it before. Who knows if it can be eaten? There are also these sweet potatoes, these vines, which don't even have roots. How do we grow it? It’s just good to eat.”

The sweet potatoes were originally planted around March, and when the vines grew, they were cut and transplanted.Now sweet potatoes can no longer be planted in May. The so-called seeds are vines shipped directly from Jingzhou.

These people have never seen or eaten sweet potatoes, let alone the ivy of sweet potatoes?So they are naturally reluctant to plant.

When Liu Bian heard this, his face turned pale. The sweet potato seeds sent from Jingzhou with great effort by the imperial court were actually eaten by the village head?Liu Bian suppressed his anger and asked, "Didn't the court tell you how to plant it? Didn't they distribute grain and grass to you?"

Seeing that Liu Bian was not angry, the village chief was a little scared, and said timidly: "I told you, but the little old man has never seen it. If it is planted, what will happen if the wheat is planted?"

Hearing what the village chief said, Yu Qian couldn't help being annoyed: "These seeds were still transported from Jingzhou. I was worried that the seeds would wither, so I watered them with water every day, and I didn't dare to expose them to the sun. After half a month, they were transported here quickly. As long as it is planted, it only takes three months to harvest, and it will never delay your winter plowing, I don’t want you to be so ignorant of cherishing it!”

Liu Bian listened for a while, and saw that the imperial court had done everything that should be done. It was the village head who was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, obeying the law and disobeying the law, which caused the sowing to not proceed on time. , the imperial court order has been issued, and the first priority after returning home is to sow seeds, but now disobeying the imperial court order is a capital crime, let me show his head to the public!"

The village head was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said: "The old man just didn't sow the seeds, why did you kill me, this crime is not fatal!"
