"Now, most officials in the thirteenth road of the Central Plains, Jiangnan West Road, Huainan Road and Lingnan Road have expressed their surrender to King Fu, and regard King Fu as the orthodox of the Great Wei." In the hall, Sima Cuo explained to a map covering the entire Great Wei and surrounding neighbors. "The King of Qi occupied Henan Road, Duji Road, Shannan East Road, Qinghe Cui Family, Boling Cui Family, Langya Wang Family and other aristocratic families to ascend the throne. They are planning to combine the regiments of each family into one place, wanting to capture the capital before us and take charge of the Grand Priest; while Shannan West Road, Jiannan Road, and Qianzhong Road have surrendered with the King of Shu, and the governor of Yizhou Su Zican serves as prime minister. Although these three places are remote and lack of materials, they are blocked by the Shu Road. It is not easy for outsiders to attack Shu."

When talking about the Wang family of Langya, Wang Ji did not show any strangeness on his face, and he faced everyone's suspicious eyes calmly. Now he completely separated himself from the Wang family. If he met the children of the Wang family on the battlefield in the future, he would not show mercy, nor would the other party. Although fighting with the same family was cruel, this was the only way for the wealthy families to maintain their inheritance, and only they could understand the sadness in it.

Then the bamboo branches in Sima Cuo pointed to the north, "The Northern Lu supported the Chengtian Prefecture Prime Minister Xu Shiyong ascended the throne in the capital, with the title of "Chu" as the country, Yang Deming as the prime minister, and Yalehan was in charge of the army, controlling the capital, Jingji Province and Hedong Province; the Northern Lu retreated to Longcheng to control the Guannei Road, and it is reported that Arubu also had plans to ascend the throne and become emperor."

"The Jiangnan East Road supported the King of Yue ascended the throne. The Jiangnan East Road is located in a prosperous and developed sea trade, which has created many great merchants. These people are unwilling to live in aristocratic families and nobles for a long time, and now they also want to gain a background from the troubled times." Sima Cuo moved Zhuzhi to the island east. "These giant merchants have countless ships of all sizes and sizes, and they have colluded with the island barbarians in the east, so they should not be underestimated. I heard that the King of Yue recently wanted to form an alliance with the king of the island barbarians and borrowed troops from him to help the King of Yue seize the world."

"The move of King Yue is to lead a wolf into the house. The island barbarians are cruel by nature. If they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, the people of the east of Jiangnan may be suffering." Qian Sa, who is also on the coast, knew very well about the island barbarians and immediately rebuked King Yue. "However, if you want to fight with King Yue, it may not be enough to rely on infantry and cavalry alone. Only by defeating King Yue's fleet on the sea can they completely dispel their ambitions. Otherwise, even if they are defeated on land, these people will escape overseas on a boat and continue to harass the coastal states and counties."

Huainan Road is located on the north side of Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road is in the west, Lingnan Road is in the south, and the east is the sea. Now the territory of King Yue is surrounded by Li You and the others, so Qian Sa regards them as the most important problem to be solved at the moment.

"The navy has taken shape, but the creation of ships, the recruitment of sailors, and the training of naval forces will take time." Li You frowned slightly. It would be fine if the King of Yue was conscious of the tact. If he didn't know how to attack at least, he would have to summon Zheng He and his treasure ship fleet. I don't believe that they could still resist Zheng He's attack.

"It is not easy for outsiders to attack Shu, but it is also a delusion to want to come out to fight for the world. Xu Shiyong's position is not right and it is difficult to suppress the people in the territory. In the past month, the rebels in the State of Chu have flocked to it, and Xu Shiyong's government orders are almost difficult to leave the capital. These two are not needed for the time being." Sima Cuo analyzed one by one, "So our main enemy is the King of Qi and the Northern Lu who occupied the inner road of the Guannei."

"If we were to start a military force, the Northern Barbarians had 200,000 elite soldiers, which was far better than us. Now we have obtained the wealth and goods craftsmen from the capital. Now there are blacksmith furnaces for making weapons and armor everywhere around Longcheng. It won't take long for these cavalry from Mobei to complete the change of clothes. When they turn the inner Tao of the Pass for their own use, they will definitely go south again." Sima Cuo said solemnly. In the long run, the Northern Barbarians are the biggest enemy Li You have to face.

"Then the next is the King of Qi, Henan Road, Duji Road, and Shannan East Road are not as prosperous and prosperous as the East Road of Jiangnan Road, but they are the most important grain production place in the Great Wei Dynasty. Now it is a chaotic era, and the food is much more precious than gold, silver and jewelry. At the same time, these three roads are places where the families of the Great Wei Dynasty gather, and each household has a large amount of grain reserves, so they can use grain to recruit troops." Hearing this, Wang Ji nodded slightly. He lived in the territory of the King of Qi since he was a child, and he had heard of the savings of major families. These people not only had food and cloth, but also a large number of weapons in their families for emergencies. They could even collect all the equipment of 50,000 troops without recruiting blacksmiths. In addition, the trend of group training has emerged from these three roads since last year. It will not take long for them to gather a force that cannot be ignored.

"All the major families have always passed down their families by poetry and books, and their children in the clan have both civil and military cultivation. If we talk about talents, the subordinates of the King of Qi were the first in the world." The Northern Barbarians had the most military forces, and the King of Qi had many talents. Both of them had their own strengths, far better than the King of Shu. King of Yue and Xu Shiyong, who had occupied the capital, were considered great enemies.

So what are our advantages? Many officials were thinking secretly, and gradually their eyes turned to Li You, King Qi, King Shu, King Yue and others were just puppets. Although the Northern Barbarians were decisive, they were barbarians after all. The robbery of the capital had already made others lose all their hearts. If they go south again in the future, they would definitely encounter the desperate resistance of the people.

On the other hand, Li You personally escorted the former emperor back to the capital, which was both wise and brave. He led his troops north to serve the king and restrain the corpse of Zhang Guo, which was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Wang Ji, Zhou Bofu, Qian Sa, Yao Guangxiao and other talents were all in their positions and were considered to be knowledgeable and good at using them. With these three advantages, we may have the opportunity to defeat the King of Qi in the future and unify the world with the northern enemy.

"Now all forces are accumulating strength and expanding their troops to prepare for war, and our Jiazhou army cannot fall behind." Seeing that Sima Chou had finished speaking, Li You began to tell his plans, "In addition to what I said just now, the infantry and cavalry should also replenish new forces. Now we have three places and rule over tens of millions of people. We should support more troops. In the first phase, I plan to expand our army to 100,000, including 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry."

Now Li You's territory is located in the south, and it is extremely difficult to collect war horses, so the proportion of cavalry can be reduced for the time being. However, there are 20,000 cavalry that can be fought, as long as they do not face the Northern Barbarians, the whole world can be obtained.

When everyone heard this, they all claimed that Sima Cuo, Luo Shiji and others came up with a new plan for expansion, and everyone discussed and started the intense preparations for war.
