On the Yangzhou side, Sun Ce left many soldiers and horses, and could only go back to Changsha in disgrace.

Here he is short of soldiers and horses, and he does not have the strength to attack unless he unites with Cao Cao.

However, it was impossible to unite Cao Cao.

In this way, Sun Ce could only go back aggrieved.

After going back, Sun Ce sent someone to secretly contact Liu Bei.

Today's Liu Biao is not good, and it is worse than the state in history.

He was frightened by Zhang Yu, and he was angry by Cai Mao I don't know how many times, so now his physical condition is very poor.

He was trapped in Xiangyang and a few places around him, with a force of about 300,000.

However, they did not develop much, while Cai Mao developed rapidly.

The place controlled by Liu Biao is rapidly draining.

If it weren't for Cai Mao's lack of talent, I am afraid that all the officials would be replaced one by one according to Zhang Yu's proposal.

Cai Mao's strategy was to take one place and replace all the officials.

This requires a lot of talent.

He had to do this, because Liu Biao had been operating here for so long, and secretly didn't know how many people were loyal to him, so Cai Mao could only do this.

Liu showed that in such a situation, many people already had other thoughts.

Those who are still following Liu Biao must be Liu Biao's irons, some are not hardcores, they are not betting on both sides, or they have already submitted to Cai Mao.

Of course, there are also many families who are more detached and can remain neutral.

Liu Bei, coming to Jingzhou naturally has his careful thoughts.

One is that there is no place for him in other places, and the other is that he also wants to get some capital.

Now his chance has come, because many people feel that Liu Biao is going to be finished.

Liu Biao hangs, but his two sons are waste.

Definitely not Cai Mao's opponent.

The eldest son must not be on the throne, otherwise he will be killed by Cai Mao, and then let the second son take the throne, if the second son is on the throne, this second son is Cai Mao's nephew.

At that time, Cai Mao will also find an opportunity to control it.

Left and right, Liu Biao's two sons can't do it.

Liu Bei gathered several of his henchmen.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Jian Yong.

"Jingzhou family, I intend to take the position of Jingzhou Assassin on my behalf, so as not to be stolen by Cai Mao, what advice do you have?" Liu Bei said.

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, what are you waiting for, this Liu Jingsheng is a waste, and he can actually let Cai Mao seize power." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "The family will take refuge in us, but how can this army be controlled?" Without control of the army, everything is useless. ”

Jian Yong said: "My lord, what the second general said is that we have to ensure that we can control the army, although these families can control a part of the army, they will definitely not be able to control the entire army. ”

Liu Bei pondered and thought for a long time and said, "This matter must be done, this is our last chance." ”

After Liu Bei decided, he also went to Pang Tong, and Pang Tong was willing to give him advice.

Liu Bei's abnormal Zhang Yu received the news a few days later.

"Do you want to do something to Liu Bei, or don't you care?"

"Forget it, if he is lucky and becomes a big deal, it will be better to cause some trouble for Cai Mao, this Cai Mao's ambition is getting bigger and bigger."

After the war with Sun Ce, there was a situation in the Yangtze River shipping, and Sun Ce temporarily cut off the shipping, and I don't know if it will be released in the future.

Zhang Yu estimated that Sun Ce did not dare to block the Yangtze River all the time, otherwise Zhang Yu and Cai Mao would definitely jointly attack him.

Sun Ce is also most afraid of this, he will be very dangerous at that time, so he wants to do things in Jingzhou.

Zhang Yu doesn't care what changes will happen to Jingzhou.

He handed over the army to several generals in Bohai County, and then returned to Beiping himself.

"This king's road construction army can be formed, when can we start building roads?" Zhang Yu convened a cabinet meeting and asked.

Several people in the cabinet, Tian Feng is mainly responsible for road repair.

So Tian Feng came out to report and said: "The route survey and the formation of people are carried out simultaneously, and we will share the matter with the counties along the road, so with the help of officials at all levels, it has begun to take shape, and it will be formed soon, but the route survey has not been fully surveyed." ”

"This matter is a hundred-year plan, which may affect the pattern of thousands of years, and it must be taken seriously, and this road will be forever recorded in history."

The north-south artery is definitely a groundbreaking event.

Zhang Yu tried to fix it in the most cost-effective way.

The cost of building such a long gallop can be very staggering.

However, even so, Zhang Yu has to do it.

The grain is easy to solve, and the wages have been paid 100 million yuan from the warehouses, and then the tools and materials are also huge expenses.

Zhang Yu has asked An Yuan to organize some people to come over to repair roads in Fusana, which does not require labor and money, and must be fed.

"Okay, you just have to build roads, and if you encounter any problems in the middle, the cabinet will solve what it can solve, and leave it to me if it can't be solved."

If you can collect tolls like later generations, then it will be much faster to build, at least Zhang Yu dares to invest a lot.

But in this era, it is not good to collect tolls, but it will cause big problems.

At this cabinet meeting, Zhang Yu focused on solving the problem of forming more than a dozen departments, and more than a dozen departments were not so easy to organize.

Now at the state level, the departments have been formed and the staffing is sufficient, but at the county level, it has not been carried out so quickly.

Everyone in the cabinet is very busy.

Zhang Yu has already called a group of people as auxiliary personnel in the cabinet, such as Zhuge Liang and others, and let them study directly in the center, which will be helpful to their growth.

When they studied for a period of time and the departments were established, Zhang Yu also wanted some of them to go to the following counties to serve as leaders, train for a few years, and develop slowly.

This is the training method of successors, and Zhang Yu trains a group of graduate students as successors.

After the war, Zhang Yu mainly developed the territory, and the army was only a small-scale expansion.

When they are done with their respective jobs, the war will definitely break out again.

After being busy for half a year, Zhang Yu and their structure are all complete, and the entire political system is more reasonable.

There has been no major battle among the princes in the past six months.

A lot has happened in the past six months.

Zhang Yu continued to send people to South Africa, and South Africa also dug a little gold mine back, although not a lot, but at least a little supplement.

And the relationship with Tianzhu is becoming more and more delicate.

They began to ostracize Zhang Yu at home, but they still maintained close trade.

Trade with Tianzhu is increasing.

In the west, with the help of Ma Yunlu, Zhang Yu and his team finally had a caravan to start direct contact with the Roman Empire.

This is a big event, the opening of the Silk Road on land, and it may be accompanied by bloodshed in the future.

But now it is very good, in order to get to know each other better, the two sides will definitely maintain friendly trade.

When the conditions are ripe between the East and the West, a major war will naturally break out.
