In the twelfth year of Jian'an, the princes of the world were quiet.

However, a grand conspiracy has begun to brew.

The conspiracy began with Liu Bei's ambitions.

When Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang's mansion, it was almost dusk. said that it was a mansion, but in fact it was a dilapidated thatched house, guarded by Shu soldiers, and Zhuge Liang was not allowed to enter or leave.

When I walked into the yard, I saw a farmland in the corner of the small courtyard, growing vegetables, and throwing a few hoes at random.

"What about Zhuge Liang?" Liu Bei asked.

The guard officer looked at the sky and said, "At this hour, I should be sleeping in the hall." ”

Liu Beixin said that this kid is leisurely, and when he sleeps, he will be about after dusk.

In fact, Zhuge Liang had already woken up, and when he saw Liu Bei behind the curtain of the grass hall, he couldn't hide the brilliance in his eyes, "Liu Xuande, you are here in the end, without me Zhuge Liang, you can't do anything." ”

Just when Liu Bei was about to enter the cottage, Zhuge Liang's voice came from the cottage, "Who has a big dream, I know it in my life, the grass hall is asleep in spring, and the day outside the window is late." ”

This poem touched Liu Bei's heart, and he seemed to feel that the past with Zhuge Liang was like a dream. And the battle of Yiling is a nightmare, but there is always a time to wake up from a nightmare. Liu Bei thought that without Zhuge Liang, he would not have his own today, and it was time to let him out, so he walked into the grass hall.

Zhuge Liang in the thatched hall, pretending to have just woken up, was taken aback when he saw Liu Bei coming in, turned over and fell to the ground, and shouted: "Lord! ”

Liu Bei wanted to use Zhuge Liang again, so he naturally wanted to appease him, and hurriedly ran over when he saw this. Hand in hand. His eyes fluttered, and he cried: "It's all Uncle Huang's fault." Let the military division suffer. ”

Zhuge Liang is also "sad", and said again: "It's all Liang's fault." Even if you suffer all your life, you should suffer all your life. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "No, no, it's just that Qin Zijin is despicable, and it has nothing to do with the military division." ”

Zhuge Liangxin said Liu Xuande, you are too fake, victory and defeat have been a common thing in soldiers since ancient times, and you have a pot of on my head, which is really not a thing.

In this regard, two people who use each other, in order to achieve the effect of cooperation. hugged their heads and cried together.

After estimating for half an hour, Liu Bei's joyful exclamation came from the grass hall, "Military advisor, you can really persuade Eastern Wu to abandon the alliance with Qin Zijin and attack Qin Hu in all directions!" ”

Zhuge Liang was already much more mature at this time, shook the feather fan lightly, and bowed: "Liang is willing to rely on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to promote an alliance to crusade against Qin Feng." At that time, the lord took Jingzhou first. In the dispatch of troops to Wanluo, it can shock Huaxia and restore the Han Dynasty! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and bowed back: "If this is the case, the military adviser will be indispensable." ”

"Please wait for the good news ......." Zhuge Liang said.

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Jian'an. Zhuge Liang, who stepped out of the thatched house again, had a feather fan in his hand and left Chengdu with only two entourage. This time, he's much more mature. A world that has been quiet for a long time. There will be a resurgence of strife.

……

Yongzhou, the western capital of Chang'an. Cao Cao's mansion.

"Abominable Qin Zijin!" Cao Cao was furious, "It's just that he is king." He actually called the King of Qin, it seems that this is Yongliang who is watching this general all the time. ”

It turns out that since ancient times, according to the convention, the princes with their base camp in Yongzhou will be called the King of Qin. And Qin Feng's base camp is in Yedu, according to convention, he should be called King Wei.

Guo Jia persuaded: "The lord is angry, Qin Feng has never been able to consider it with common sense. ”

Who knew that Cao Cao saw it thoroughly, and said viciously: "His surname is Qin, also known as the King of Qin, and there will be another First Emperor in the future, and he will be the First Emperor of Qin together!" So there is no need to think about it at all, he just wants to be Qin Shi Huang. ”

Guo Jia secretly smacked his tongue, and said in his heart that the lord was worthy of being a little with Qin Feng, and he pondered it through, and said: "What the lord said is very true. ”

After a while, Cao Cao calmed down and said: "Fengxiao, in the past three years, General Ben has worked hard, and now he has 200,000 troops again. Hanzhong is rich and strategically important. Although Lu Bu is entrenched, he is alone, do you send troops to seize it? There are clouds in ancient times, and you have to look at the ...... of Shu. ”

It turned out that Cao Cao asked himself that now was not the time to be an enemy with Qin Feng, but that he should sweep Xichuan and other places to expand his territory, and finally Qin Feng fought to the death.

Guo Jia was taken aback and said, "The lord must not, the biggest enemy at this time is Qin Feng." In addition, Liu Bei in Shuzhong has developed very well in recent years. If Lu Bu asks for help with him, it will inevitably be a big battle. It is necessary to know that the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches in the back ....... ”

Cao Cao's face twitched twice, and he said in his heart that Qin Zijin's stabbing knife in the back was very smooth, and if he really fought with Liu Bei, he would definitely take the opportunity to send troops.

However, Lu Bu also had some climate in Hanzhong, and he commanded fifty or sixty thousand elite soldiers, guarding Yangping Pass, threatening the hinterland of Yongliang at all times. Because there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, it is really a big trouble.

At this point in a dilemma, even Cao Cao was panicked in his heart, and said: "Fengxiao, Qin Feng owns the land of Kyushu, which has developed rapidly in recent years, with millions of troops. If he unites with Lu Bu to attack, how can he resist it? Before facing Qin Feng, you must first get rid of Lu Bu's henchman! ”

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "Lord, you are wrong. Qin Feng is the king, with millions of soldiers, a great victory, and a sharp edge piercing the world. The princes of the world are all in danger, and the lord should hold high the banner of righteousness and form an alliance against Qin again. ”

"Oh!" Cao Cao pondered.

At this moment, a subordinate official came to see him and said: "Lord Qi, there are people outside the city who claim to be Liu Bei's envoy who ask to see you." ”

Cao Cao looked puzzled.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "This must be an alliance to fight against Qin Feng." ”

So, Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei's envoy to meet him.

After a while, a Confucian scholar walked into the council hall with a feather fan.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was taken aback, "Zhuge Liang! He said in his heart that this person had been beaten into the cold palace by Liu Bei, why did he take it out and use it again?

At this moment, Zhuge Liang is childish, and his elegant face is mature after experiencing wind and frost. took the feather fan upside down, bowed his hand and said: "Cao Gong, Liang is here with the great trust of my lord." He said and shook the feather fan gently, with indescribable confidence, and said: "If Cao Gong agrees, then Qin Zi will enter the land of Kyushu, once he is closed!" ”

Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

Cao Cao looked at it coldly and said, "Kong Ming." How did Qin Zijin take a break? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Liu, Cao, Sun, and Lu join forces." If the four attacks are made, Qin Feng's Kyushu will be torn apart. Once Hugh also. ”

Cao Cao was taken aback, his face remained silent, and he said, "Join forces? ”

Zhuge Liang observed his words, shook his feather fan lightly, and said: "Lu Bu has agreed to turn the war with Cao Gong into a jade silk, and send troops to attack Qin Feng with my two families. ”

Cao Cao laughed out loud and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, if you have the ability to persuade the Eastern Wu who married Qin Feng, General Ben will definitely join this alliance against Qin." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Please wait for the good news." ”

At this point, Zhuge Liang retired. Look at Soochow and go.

After he left, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, it seems that someone is more anxious than us." It depends on whether Zhuge Liang has the means to persuade Dongwu, if Dongwu really joins the alliance to fight Qin. Then Dongwu sent troops to Hefei, Liu Bei sent troops to Jingzhou, Lu Bu sent troops to Yu Wan, and the lord knocked on the pass and entered Luoyang. Even if Qin Feng had the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he could only retreat to the Yellow River. ”

Cao Cao laughed and said, "He retreated to the Yellow River? This time. We must fight to the end, unite everyone to destroy Qin Zijin first, this great scourge! ”

Guo Jia nodded slightly, now it seems that the most capable prince in the world is Qin Feng. If there is a chance to destroy it. No one will be soft.

……

At the end of March of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Qin Feng convened seven military divisions from the Military Aircraft Department in the political hall of the Qin Palace. Listen to the spring report on internal affairs and military affairs.

Xu Shu, the chief military advisor of the Military Aircraft Department, reported the recent situation of the Qin army as follows: The land of Kyushu. The B-level garrison of each state is 50,000 people, and the Yangzhou area of Jiangbei and Liaodong County of the grassland. Chenguo County, with a total of 50,000 garrisons, a total of 500,000 B-level garrisons.

Seven first-class combat legions, the trapping legion and the coiled snake legion each have 50,000 cavalry strength. The remaining five major legions are mixed, including 5,000 cavalry and a total strength of 70,000.

Total number of first-class regiments: 450,000 men.

Zhang Liao commanded the Golden Eagle Army to guard Hefei on the southeast border.

Xu Huang commanded the Xiong Zhen army, garrisoned Wuguan and Wancheng, and guarded the southwest border of the territory.

Zhang He commanded the Black Mountain Army, garrisoned Hangu Pass, and guarded the northwest border of the territory.

Gao Shun commanded the Blue Wolf Legion and garrisoned Jingzhou. Together with Jingzhou's garrison and navy, the total strength reached 200,000.

Xun Yu, the second military division of the Military Aircraft Department, reported on the recent situation of government affairs. In general, the population has reached 32.12 million, and the per capita cultivated land is five acres. The spring tax revenue is 10 million yuan, and the annual tax revenue is expected to be 40 million yuan. Taxes look scary, but spending is even more scary.

It is estimated that 35 million yuan will be paid for the whole year, including military expenses and miscellaneous expenses.

Qin Feng was shocked, and said in his heart that the master would end up with five million in his pocket!

Xun Yu finally said: "King, it is expected that the balance will reach 10 million yuan next year. In fact, Xun Yu was already very pleased, because he knew that not how much tax there was, how much revenue the treasury would have. Tens of thousands of local officials at all levels and millions of military generals alone will account for the vast majority.

Qin Feng also knew this, and he couldn't help but think of the diligent emperor Yongzheng in later generations, who saved money and killed corrupt officials all his life, and only left 50 million to Qianlong when he died. Yongzheng reigned for 13 years, which means that the average annual accumulation is less than five million.

And the land of Kyushu is a little more than half of Yongzhengye's territory, and if he can accumulate five million a year, he will be content.

It is worth mentioning that the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in Qin Feng's hands is all over the country under the operation of Zhou Shan, and it can replenish Qin Feng's small treasury with 20 million yuan every year.

20 million guan sounds more terrible than the treasury, but if it is in contact with the future generations of He Shen, he is greedy for more than one billion silver, which is thirty times more than what Yongzheng Ye saved in his lifetime. Everywhere, it is not surprising that the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, the only officially designated merchant, can make so much money.

After listening to the reports from all aspects, Qin Feng said: "The wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, which is the most rare. Now that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the food and grass are sufficient, and the prime minister wants to use the soldiers Yongliang, what do you military advisors think? ”

In the current situation, Dongwu is an alliance, and it is not easy to use troops on the road to Shudi, so Yongliang is the only choice.

Unifying the world is the general direction, and now that the soldiers are well fed, the military advisers will naturally not stop them.

Xu Shu said: "King, it will be a long-term war with Yongliang. However, Liu Bei in Shu must be guarded against, before that, will he strengthen the alliance with Dongwu? In order to facilitate the garrison of Jingzhou. (To be continued......)
