231. Common people think: the defense line can be pushed north (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
Author: nonsense and gossip
"Lang Jun, this is something sent from Xinghan Trading Company in Wancheng." Seeing Huang Yueying return, Manager Zhang explained.
Huang Yueying was slightly stunned, Wancheng?
Last month, Zhuge Liang went to Wancheng from Duyang, so... was it something Zhuge Liang sent?
Before she could ask the question, the person in charge had opened the wooden box, and inside was a broken peach blossom, which bloomed just right.
Boss, is this... giving her flowers again?
When other people saw it, they also felt a little weird. The man... gave the man a peach blossom?
On the other hand, Huang Wu and other insiders finally felt more comforted, as their sister... seemed to be growing up too.
"Please sign for it, sir." The person in charge of the delivery took out the note.
Huang Yueying nodded, and then signed Huang Chu's name, "Is there still a letter?"
The person in charge happened to take out the letter, and then nodded, "Of course there is. Sir, the trading company in Wancheng has just been established. At least it must ensure that the route to Xiangyang is correct. Therefore, it is necessary to send something over for testing."
Huang Yueying: ...a tester? But whose tester gives you a peach blossom?
Thinking of this, she also blushed.
I received the letter and opened it. It said that the Wancheng branch had been established, so I sent someone to send some things for testing. It happened that the peach blossoms were blooming in March.
He also said that now that the spring plowing has come to an end, there are changes in both Jiangdong and Xuchang. He hopes that Huang Yueying can act in the middle and take risks without having to take risks on the battlefield.
In addition, he had nothing to disagree with about the soft armor, but the workmanship of the soft armor was complicated and took longer.
After the branch was established in Wancheng, he planned to go all the way west and then south.
To put it simply, it is to go to Hanzhong first, to the direction of Yizhou, and then to the direction of Jiaozhou. It will be more convenient for Zhuge Liang at present, which is different from the established plan.
Huang Yueying thought about it and found that it actually didn't have much to do with it.
Whether it's Hanzhong, Yizhou, or Jiaozhou, it all needs to be in your hands in the end.
She originally wanted to finish conquering Jiaozhou first. After all, she still had several sugarcane plantations there. Besides... Jiaozhou was located in a remote area, and it would not be easy to disturb other princes by moving to Jiaozhou.
However, according to Zhuge Liang's plan, even though the route was changed at this time, it would never affect the things she wanted to do.
In short, Zhuge Liang will complete the layout of Jiaozhou within the time she wants.
Although she didn't quite understand how the other party wanted to operate, it didn't stop her from trusting the boss.
After reading the letter, Huang Yueying naturally asked the person who delivered the things to go back first. The place they wanted to return to was Wancheng, not Zhuge Liang's next target city, so staying here was of little use.
After returning to the study, she wrote a reply to Zhuge Liang.
The first is to thank you for the peach blossoms, which will bloom in full bloom.
The second is to talk about the situation in Xuchang and Jiangdong, as well as Liu Biao's decision, and remind Zhuge Liang to put his own safety first in everything.
Third, she talked about the arrangements at the Academy. Maybe she could find some people to help Zhuge Liang.
Fourth, he babbled a few more words, saying that the weather has been changeable recently, and I hope Zhuge Liang can take care of himself and so on.
After finishing writing, Huang Yueying looked at it and felt that...the fourth point of the rhythm seemed not quite right, but after looking at it carefully, she felt that there was nothing wrong.
So I packed up the letter and asked someone to send it to the branch of the commercial bank next to Sanwei Bookstore to send it to Hanzhong. In other words, I asked someone from the Xiangyang branch to walk the road to Hanzhong in person and draw a map and so on.
, so that the branch there can test the route after setting it up.
In this era, communication in various places actually had its own rules, and of course there were maps and so-called official channels.
However, the world has been in chaos for so many years, and some maps were even drawn a hundred years ago, so there will definitely be some changes in them. This is also the most direct reason for the slow construction of Xinghan Commercial Bank branches in various places.
She will not completely believe the information of this era.
Moreover, it is really important to master the terrain of each state, especially in the next few years, some casual trails... may have a huge effect.
She not only wants to improve people's livelihood, but also wants to... speak the truth on the battlefield and calm the world as soon as possible.
It is now six years since Jian'an was founded.
Cao Cao had already marched towards Cangting, but Yuan Shao was seriously injured.
There was almost no need to doubt the direction of this battle, but Liu Bei's early joining gave her some hope. She hoped that even if Yuan Shao's side lost, Liu Bei's power would increase.
Upgraded to a situation where it can truly independently threaten Xuchang.
…
Wancheng.
Wenpin looked at General Zuo, whose face was full of vicissitudes of life, and sighed inwardly but also admired him deeply. He already knew the news from Xuchang...
Last year, he did not participate and felt very regretful.
This time this year... he also wants to lead people to do something, otherwise... he is afraid that there will be no chance in the future.
Therefore, after discussing with Liu Bei for more than three days, both of them felt that they had to go to Xuchang.
Even if we cannot welcome back the emperor, we still need to let the people near Xuchang know that there are still people working hard for the Han Dynasty in Jingzhou.
At the same time, he went to the north to promote the idea of two crops a year, so that people would spontaneously come to the borders of Jingzhou to take refuge, in order to weaken Cao Cao's strength.
In addition, even if they cannot attack Xuchang, they still have to rescue some people and come to Jingzhou.
"Duyang is not the northernmost county magistrate in Nanyang County..." Wenpin pointed to the map and said, "But due to Zhang Xiu's rebellion last year, Ye County, Luyang and other places, although they did not fall under the control of Cao's thieves,
Even though he had many hands, he also lost countless people to govern."
Liu Bei nodded in agreement, yes, when war breaks out, the people who are most powerless are the people.
"I am also aware of some of General Zuo's previous actions, and the purpose was to bring back the common people."
"good."
"Therefore, even if we fail to attack Xuchang this time, we will still have to move many people south." Wenpin continued, "In this way, we can make up for our previous losses in Jingzhou."
Liu Bei continued to nod.
After all, Wenpin was a veteran general. He had been guarding the north of Jingzhou for much longer than him. He had also captured Wancheng where Cao's army was defending. He was very aware of the situation of the people in the north of Jingzhou. Countless people were kidnapped by Cao's soldiers.
It is even clearer that the common people are the foundation of each prince.
"But if this happens..." Liu Bei also hesitated, "Now the land of Duyang can no longer accommodate so many people."
Wenpin is also silent, and Wancheng... is even more uneasy, because there are many aristocratic families, and there is no place for outsiders to establish themselves.
The reason why it is difficult for Ye County, Luyang and other places further north of Duyang to form a defense line is because they are too deep into Cao Cao's territory.
If the people are arranged in those places... there is almost no difference from not robbing them.
"I thought that after completing the operation, the lord can push the defense line to the north." Xu Shu suddenly interjected.
When Liu Bei was in Jingzhou, he couldn't blatantly mess around with his territory because he was a guest.
But like these counties at the junction of the north and the south... even if Liu Bei takes them, he must first defend them.
In addition, Wen Ping will not ignore the push of the defense line to the north. The final result... can be explained to the Jingzhou Shepherd in a letter from his lord.
The land of one county is too small after all. It is already difficult to support Liu Bei's current 6,000 troops.
If we don't acquire more territory, how can we raise soldiers?
Today’s portion.
