Jia Xu raised a question. Although the Juche idea is very good, the first step is often the most difficult.
Yes, why didn’t I think of this problem!
Xun You sighed secretly in his heart. He was always thinking about his future plans and never paid attention to the most difficult problem of how to occupy Yizhou.
"Now that the Yellow Turbans are rampant in various places, Your Majesty has sent various places to recruit troops to eliminate them. In my opinion, in a few years, Your Majesty will send people from the clan to various states and counties to stabilize the country."
"My father Liu Yan is currently the Nine Ministers Zongzheng and has your Majesty's trust. I will find an opportunity for him to invite himself to Yizhou."
"It turns out that my lord has a plan for a long time!"
Xun You admired Liu Zhang again. It turned out that he had really thought everything through! But there was still one most important question.
"My lord, even if Lord Liu Yan goes to Yizhou, my lord is the fourth son, and there are three brothers above him!"
"Yes, this is also a difficult problem."
Jia Xu also agreed very much with Xun You's problem. Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited great achievements.
As the fourth son, Liu Zhang would never get his turn no matter what!
Liu Zhang smiled bitterly, he couldn't answer this question.
Historically, his two brothers died in Chang'an, and he was elected as the shepherd of Yizhou because of his cowardly character.
Now that I am so outstanding, the nobles in Yizhou will definitely not let wolves into their homes again.
"My three brothers are all white-faced scholars. They can only be officials, but they can never be masters!"
"I intend to appoint a county governor first, and then make changes according to the situation."
Liu Zhang said it vaguely, but the meaning was very clear.
After Liu Yan dies, take Yizhou by force!
"When the time comes, brothers will surely fight against each other and fight against each other in the same room! Can my lord really do this?"
Jia Xu looked at Liu Zhang with sharp eyes. He wanted to see through Liu Zhang's heart and understand his true thoughts.
Obviously Jia Xu was overly worried. Not to mention his three brothers, even Liu Yan might not be able to stop Liu Zhang from moving forward!
"In the past, Gaozu and Xiang Yu were competing for hegemony. Xiang Yu captured Gaozu's father and wanted to cook with Gaozu. Did Gaozu have any hesitation?"
"It's not that Liu Zhang is ruthless and has no regard for family ties. It's just that when faced with big issues of right and wrong, there will inevitably be choices!"
"But don't worry, gentlemen, Liu Zhang is not a murderous person, and he will definitely not harm my brother's life!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were firm and his logic was clear. In Jia Xu's opinion, this must be his true inner thought!
"That's good. Since my lord is mentally prepared, my subordinates won't say any more!"
"Wen He, don't worry!"
Jia Xu's question received a satisfactory answer, and Xun You asked another question.
"Then where does the lord plan to take root?"
Jia Xu glanced at Xun You appreciatively, this was also a question he wanted to know.
A foothold is very important, as it involves future development and short-term planning. This is also the job of Jia Xu and Xun You.
Liu Zhang blurted out without any hesitation.
"Hanzhong!"
really!
Jia Xu and Xun You's eyes lit up. The goal in their hearts was also Hanzhong. However, they still needed to listen to Liu Zhang's reasons.
"Why did my lord choose the land of Hanzhong?"
"Yizhou is known as the Land of Abundance, which indeed benefits from the two great plains of Chengdu and Hanzhong."
"Yizhou has a total population of 1.52 million households and a population of 7.24 million. However, Hanzhong County only has 60,000 households and a population of less than 300,000."
“If you look at it from this perspective, Chengdu Plain is the best choice!”
Liu Zhang laughed secretly in his heart that these two people asked questions knowingly!
I also want to take root in the Chengdu Plain. Can my father agree?
"First, if my father were a shepherd in Yizhou, Chengdu would definitely be under his control! This situation is not conducive to our development."
"Second, just now Gongda also said that the advantages of Yizhou are concentrated in Chengdu and Hanzhong Plain, so the weight of the two is the same! If you get to Long, you can see Shu! Although Long originally means Longxi, the key point is indeed Hanzhong
!”
"Third, there is the population problem. Nowadays, all parts of the country have been poisoned by the Yellow Turbans, and the population has dropped sharply. The Yellow Turbans in Shuzhong are not powerful enough, but they are also poisoning Shujun. Hanzhong County has been very little affected. Although Hanzhong has a small population, the influence of the relative aristocratic families is also very small.
Now that the Yellow Turbans are in rebellion in Shu County and Boyu is rebelling in Beigong, Liangzhou, there will inevitably be an influx of refugees."
"Fourth, the location of Hanzhong is a natural defensive fortress! It is separated from Guanzhong by the Qinling Mountains, it is separated from Shangyong by the Han River, and it is blocked by a pass from Shu! We only need to rely on a small number of troops to stop the powerful enemy!"
"When the time comes to accommodate the refugees and encourage mulberry farming, it won't take long for our army to have sufficient supplies and seize the right time, place, and people! At that time, the troops will turn to Yizhou. Who can stop them!"
It's not that Liu Zhang was arrogant, he really didn't take Yizhou seriously.
In history, the extremely cowardly Liu Zhang was able to put down the rebellion and rule Xichuan. Not to mention the current Liu Zhang!
Obviously Jia Xu and Xun You thought the same way. They cared about where to take root and how to develop, but they never paid attention to how to dominate Yizhou!
It's because they are so confident that occupying Yizhou is like picking something out of a bag!
"My lord, I admire you for your foresight!"
Xun You also smiled and nodded, his eyes full of recognition.
"We will do our best to help the lord!"
"Gentlemen, please stop praising me. If you continue to praise me, I will go to heaven!"
Liu Zhang actually blushed a little, almost all his plans were plagiarized!
"By the way, Brother Gongda, you need to worry a lot about the military affairs. If you go there, you will inevitably create difficulties!"
"Don't worry, my lord, General, I will coordinate it well!"
Xun You didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, if he couldn't deal with He Jin, he wouldn't be worthy of Liu Zhang's attention!
"Well, let's get here first today. Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen!"
"My lord, you're welcome, I'll take my leave!"
It was only today that Liu Zhang's heart was truly settled.
Because Liu Bei had no strategic plan, he was driven around in the early stage.
Liu Zhang took this lesson seriously, and from the day he knew his identity, he was planning his future path.
After all, one person is short-witted. No matter how confident he is or how he understands history, Liu Zhang's heart is like a duckweed without roots or a bright moon without a shadow, always hanging!
Now that both Jia Xu and Xun You have affirmed him, he only needs to strengthen his faith and go on step by step, and he will eventually achieve great things!
Liu Zhang's heart was settled and he became even stronger!
He has no worries about his path to hegemony. He may be defeated or defeated in the future, but his heart will never be shaken!
Wu has Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Wen has Xun You and Jia Xu!
What a luxurious lineup is this? Not to mention Liu Bei, even if Cao A was hiding in the early stage of the cavalry, there would never be such a lineup!
The joining of Jia Xu and Xun You encouraged Liu Zhang beyond words!
Finally, he finally came out of the shadow of his failure to recruit Tian Feng.
Liu Zhang clenched his fist and swung it out violently!
Come on, princes in troubled times, I, Liu Zhang, am waiting for you!
