Chapter 873: Win First and Fight Later
With the families of the great guards from all walks of life in Shuzhong, some clans have been integrated into the entire Chengdu and almost all of Chengdu knows that Kou Feng is planning to return to Xiangyang.
Many people are worried.
It is no longer the time when Liu Zhang was in power in the past, and at that time, Shuzhong was still a bit of a worthy capital. Now it is the invasion of Shu by the Chu State.
Military power and political power are in the hands of Chu Gong Koufeng. If Kou Feng retreats, and Nanban takes advantage of this to fight back. Will Shuzhong be occupied by aliens?
Such a large-scale migration of officials" cast a shadow over Cheng Kyoto.
In the east of the city, in the study of the mansion where Meng You lives.
Meng You's stand-in sat in the first place, and Meng You and several henchmen sat on the side. At this moment, Meng You has completely changed his clothes.
The beard was shaved" and the hairstyle became the hairstyle of the Han Chinese. The clothes on his body became Hanfu.
Sitting there, although it was still a little weird, it already looked more like an ordinary Han person.
Returning to the right, if people see today's Meng You, they will never think that this is the younger brother of Meng You.
"My lord, the news is now almost certain. Kou Feng will definitely return to Xiangyang, and the time has come for us to be in Nanzhong Dasheng. One of Meng You's henchmen said excitedly.
"Yes, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so much energy" risked moving in Shuzhong, gathered the families of the Taishou from all walks of life, and the clan came to Chengdu "ready to migrate together." ”
Another henchman also followed suit.
The words of the two made everyone in the study nod their heads. The current situation in Chengdu has made them decide in their hearts that Kou Feng is planning to leave.
As soon as Kou Feng left, Shuzhong was empty.
"That's true. We should go too. Meng You's face also showed a look of approval, and he bowed his head.
Finally able to go.
With Meng You's words. Everyone in the study was relieved.
Although they are safe in Chengdu, "they are not as comfortable as they are in Nanzhong."
Immediately, Meng You ordered a stand-in to sit in Chengdu, and together with his henchmen, under the guise of a name, he returned to Nanzhong.
"Your Majesty, some of Meng You's henchmen have quietly returned to Nanzhong. But what is strange is that Meng You is still there. ”
In the study of Beppu of the Duke of Chu.
Kou Feng sat at the top of the list, and Kou Shui stood below.
Kou Shui is reporting to Kou Feng about the situation of the cattle in Meng You's mansion. Meng You can also be regarded as a general of the enemy country, and the spies sent by Kou Feng are currently in charge of Kou Shui.
"Meng You is still there?" Kou Feng's face was slightly puzzled.
Although his spies are also pervasive, they still don't know that Meng You has a little-known stand-in. However, although Kou Feng wondered why Meng You didn't go together.
But as for what kind of medicine is sold here, Kou Feng actually doesn't want to get to the bottom of it. Can a Meng You make him sad for it? This is too high to look at Meng You.
Meng Huo is regarded as the hegemon of Nanzhong, and he is strong. It is enough for Kou Feng to attack with all his might, and Meng You is just a brute general. In Kou Feng's heart, Shamo Kedu is much more powerful than Meng You.
Therefore, no matter how Meng You pretends to be mysterious, it doesn't matter to Kou Fenglai.
"According to the spies, he is indeed still in the house, and his daily routine is as usual." Kou Shui Jitou said.
"Leave him alone. I'll just plan as usual. Kou Feng shook his head and said, and then ordered: "Go and give an order to Zhang Ziqiao, and in three days, you will migrate." ”
"No." Kou Shui promised and then left.
After Kou Shui left, Kou Feng immediately got up and brought a group of guards to the door of a large workshop.
The workshop is located in an extremely remote location, and there is no plaque in front of the door. There weren't even many guards. The people in the neighborhood knew that this might be a workshop, but they didn't know what was produced here.
All I know is that there are large-scale workers coming in and out here every day.
As soon as Kou Feng's carriage arrived, Kou Feng immediately stepped out of the carriage and walked in with some of the guards.
Soon after, the person in charge of this side got the news and came to greet him.
"I don't know if the king is visiting, the minister has missed the welcome, please forgive me." The person in charge is a middle-aged literati who seems to be kind and kind. At the moment, it is a more apprehensive way.
Claiming to be a minister.
This is an official under the account of the state of Chu. This is also the place where Kou Feng personally ordered "the production of compasses."
A compass is a thing. But it was a weapon that Kou Feng felt could win. Its production was a matter of great concern to Kou Feng, and now the army was about to move.
Kou Feng came to see how many compasses were produced at the end.
"How many compasses have been produced now?" Kou Feng nodded and asked.
"More than 45,000 have been produced." 1And the scribe answered.
"More than forty-five thousand?" The look of satisfaction on Kou's cover flashed, and the army of his southern expedition was estimated to be more than 100,000, and now there were more than 45,000.
It can be that there are no three people who can have a compass.
If Meng Huo suddenly instigated a sneak attack or fled into the rainforest in the middle of the southern rainforest, his army could effectively resist or attack.
With a compass. In addition, some time ago, Kou Feng hired a lot of hunters to enter the army to teach the soldiers how to survive in the forest.
In this way, "the geographical advantage that the barbarians in Nanzhong relied on was broken by Kou Feng."
Coupled with a plank road for Fazheng, the plan of the dark Chen Cang. Such adequate preparation" greatly increased Kou Feng's self-confidence, and also responded to the sentence "win first and then fight."
The state of Chu will never fight a war that it has no control.
"Bring me a compass." Kou Feng ordered.
The official promised and went down to get a compass himself. Subsequently, he respectfully presented it to Kou Feng.
Kou Feng reached out and took it.
This compass can't be described as simple anymore. Its exterior is made of porcelain as a load, a special shape of porcelain. About the size of a bronze wine glass.
There is a compass inside. The magnetic needle pointing to the north is deliberately painted red, and the southern needle is the quality of the magnetic needle. In this way, even non-combatants who do not understand the written word can clearly understand the purpose of the label.
Kou Feng held the compass in his hand and put it in front of him, and looked at it carefully. I feel very satisfied.
It's still a little shabby, but it's definitely a must-have companion for a home trip.
Now, though, there's one only problem. That is, porcelain is fragile. This thing is estimated to have a relatively high damage rate when the soldiers are fighting.
However, Kou Feng had an idea.
"Production will be discontinued from today. Concentrate manpower and make a simple coat for this compass and make it out of wood. Avoid a broken compass. In addition, a batch of bags was also manufactured. The kind that can be hung around the waist. Kou Feng pondered for a moment and said.
The first is to avoid the compass from breaking. The second is that Kou Feng knows that the soldiers don't know the importance of the compass yet, and he is afraid that he will lose it. If you can attach a bag to your waist, you won't lose it.
When the official heard this, he immediately responded.
After knowing the situation of the compass, Kou Feng did not stay in this workshop for a long time, but immediately ordered the guards and drove him to the camp of Fazheng in the south of the city.
The compass is a thing, and only Kou Feng knows about the existence of this tool. The rest are not known to the generals in the army, such as Fa Zheng, or the advisers Zhang Song, Zhuge Liang, etc.
Today, the compass is almost in production. The plan has also begun, and Kou Feng must correct the situation with Fa.
Kou Feng also coincidentally came: "It was when Fa Zheng led the army to train."
In the school grounds, three hundred troops were holding Chu knives and slashing.
"Kill" "Kill. ”
The soldiers sweated like rain, and a high-pitched shout of killing erupted from their mouths inexhaustibly.
Fazheng's army began to be established after defeating Yan Yan and surrendering countless Yizhou soldiers. It's been months now.
The original Yizhou soldiers, although Yan Yan's headquarters were very elite. However, the armies of the rest of the generals were relatively loose and basically unbearable.
However, in the past few months, the training of Fazheng has become more and more elite.
Since Fa Zheng's army came to Chengdu, Kou Feng has come to the barracks several times. Every time I came, I could clearly feel the transformation of the army.
It's not that the body has become stronger, and discipline has become stronger. The loose atmosphere and mental outlook have also changed dramatically.
How the generals under Liu Zhang's account in Yizhou were in charge of the army in the past, Kou Feng didn't know very well. However, the law is implementing a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
Those who have meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. No emotion.
In fact, governing the army is as simple as that. The heavy reward made the soldiers feel like they were drinking sweet, and made them enthusiastic. Heavy penalties made the soldiers afraid and did not dare to be loose and perfunctory.
In this way, a strong army is slowly built.
The combat effectiveness of the Rendu Chu army is strong. That's right, part of it is because of Kou Feng's personal prestige "The monarch who is collectively supported by the common army of the Chu State."
But most of them are actually generals who run the army well. Such as Pang Tong, Xu Shu" or Huang Zhong, Ganning and others, are either wise men or generals.
The army of Chu was established with Kou Feng as the backbone, with these generals as the backbone. This is the foundation of the Chu team's combat effectiveness.
This is exactly what Kou Feng is used for.
At this moment, Fa Zheng was on the stage to "personally urge the soldiers to train." There was a report from the soldiers, and after Kou Feng arrived, he explained to Wu Yi and stepped down.
When Fa Zheng got off the platform, Kou Feng had already come to the vicinity of the school field.
"Your Majesty." Fa Zheng hurriedly walked towards Kou Feng and greeted Dao.
"In about three days, the army will be unmoored. This time, I came alone to ask about the situation in the filial piety army. Kou Feng said with a smile.
"Please move the big tent of the Chinese army." Fa Zheng bent over and said.
Sealed the jaw. Immediately, the two came to the nearby Chinese army tent together.
After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Kou Feng went straight to the handsome seat and sat down. Fa Zheng sat on the side of his friend.
"The army was unmoored in three days. In about a month or two, there will be a war with Meng Shu. I don't know if filial piety has a chance of winning in my heart? After sitting down, Kou Feng asked with a smile. @
