"Longyou, Shuzhong, and Hanzhong all have dangerous mountains and rivers, so they cannot be independent states." Yang Zheng made it clear.

They were worried about the powerful nobles, but Yang Zheng didn't care.

The division of states and counties is good, which is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the powerful nobles.

It is also a powerful means for the central government to fight against local governments. This is why China was not split into small countries in the end.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties and dynasties, states and counties are always changing.

Yang Zheng stood on the long river of history and saw more.

He was already extremely familiar with the maps of later generations.

"Hequ, Jincheng, Longxi and Anding are Hezhou, Guangwei County is abolished and merged into Nan'an County, Nan'an and Wudu, Yinping is Qizhou, Beidi, Qilian, Shuofang, Hanzhong, Tianshui, Fufeng, Fengyi,

Jingzhao is the Sili! Xiping, Wuwei, Zhangye, Juyan,

Jiuquan is Liangzhou, Xihai, Dunhuang, Gaochang, Yinwu, Luntai, Haitou City is Xizhou, Jiuyuan, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Taiyuan is Bingzhou, Shujun, Zhuti, Yuexi, Zangke, Jian

Ning is divided into Yizhou, Bajun, Qianwei, Basi, Guanghan, and Yongan is divided into Jiangzhou!"

Yang Zheng used the edge of his sword to sketch on the sand table, and the mountains, rivers and rivers were continuously divided under the tip of the sword.

This is probably the meaning of the so-called slaying the world.

In fact, the territory of Shu is very large.

There were seven counties in one Nanzhong, covering later Yunnan, Guizhou and other places.

Although there is no actual control in many places, the best areas are all under control.

Yang Zheng's division almost shattered the Qin state into pieces.

No geographical plate can monopolize the dangers of mountains and rivers.

Especially Sili, which occupies the Longshan Mountains, half of the Qinling Mountains, and the front of the Yellow River. No surrounding plate can pose a threat to Sili.

And once there is a rebellion around, Chang'an's army can attack from all sides at any time.

The same eight states have strong trunks and weak branches, restraining each other.

In fact, there is a large piece of land between Beidi, Shuofang and Guanzhong - Henan.

But now the population of Qin obviously cannot cover there.

It will also be a good training ground and hunting ground for cavalry in the future.

Du Kuan, Zhang Xi, Zhang Huan, Huangfu Tao and others looked at each other in confusion.

Chang Ji, Shouliang, Chen Shou and Li Mi nodded secretly.

Wei Guan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a unique eye."

Yang Zheng withdrew his long sword and his eyes fell on the face of the Shu sergeant, "From now on, we will all be ministers of Great Qin. Please give us advice. Great Qin will never punish sins based on words, and you don't need to worry about gains and losses. Everything is based on the strength of Great Qin!"

"

It's not that the Shu sergeants are lacking in talent, it's that they think too much.

"I will definitely think hard about it!" Shouliang and others said with cupped hands.

Yang Zheng nodded. The new division of states and counties will naturally involve the interests of too many people, and the resistance will certainly not be small. For example, many powerful people's lands are not limited to one county, and of course they are not willing to separate them.

It must be carried out under the supervision of a dedicated person.

"Chang Ji, Zhang Fu, I will now promote you two to deputy chief ministers of the Zhenfu Department. You can mobilize the Zhenfu Department and local soldiers to handle this matter!"

"I accept your order!" The two of them held their hands.

In addition to the two of them, Wei Guan will also provide necessary support in the center.

Yang Zheng also prepared a team of five thousand elite cavalry just in case.

A powerful person is like a small prince. Dividing states and counties means dividing their interests.

However, if Yang Zheng did not do this, Qin would not be able to gather enough strength.

Now is the time when the powerful nobles of Qin are at their weakest. If we can't deal with them now, it will be even more impossible in the future.

I spent an afternoon going over various details.

In the evening, the division of counties into counties was basically finalized.

Yang Zheng provides a general direction, and the rest depends on their collective efforts.

The Prince of Qin's Mansion prepared a dinner party.

Yang Zheng always treated his subordinates generously, including Pu Tao wine, roasted whole sheep, sprinkled with pepper worth the same as gold, and various fruits from the Western Regions. Except for the silk and bamboo orchestra, dancers and musicians, everything was provided.

Yang Zheng also frequently raised his glasses to Li Mi, Chen Shou, Chang Ji and others, praising the prosperity of Sichuan culture.

Even if you wear it thousands of times, you will never wear it.

The sergeants in Shu were overjoyed.

While the banquet was in full swing, another letter from Taiyuan arrived, again written by Zhou Yu.

"Liu Hong is guarding the key points of Shangdang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... I am willing to command the armies of Taiyuan and capture Shangdang for the king. If Shangdang is defeated, Hedong can be determined, and Luoyang is also in front of us...

"

Yang Zheng frowned.

This kind of tone is a taboo for military strategists, as it shows the intention of underestimating the enemy.

This is also a common problem in the military today.

Fifty thousand cavalry defeated the 160,000 Chinese army. It was so brilliant that it also made many people blindly confident.

I have forgotten how many efforts were made to attract Sima Zhao's Sixteenth Army, how many soldiers were killed in battle, and how many horses and livestock were frozen to death...

"Liu Hong was born in Xiang County, Pei State. He was the grandson of Yangzhou Governor Liu Fu and the son of General Liu Jing. He lived with Sima Yan in Yong'anli, Luoyang. He was close to the Sima family and was quite talented in literature. I don't know about his military skills...

"Pang Qing turned out Xiaohong's original Tao.

Wei Guan said: "The Qin Dynasty is newly established, and the affairs in the army are also imminent."

Yang Zheng nodded.

The problem of Guzang arose again, and the news came from Taiyuan, thousands of miles away, at least half a month.

It's hard to predict what will happen in the next half month.

And Yang Zheng has always been willing to delegate power. Back then, Liu Heng took matters into his own hands and massacred the city one after another. The enemy was overwhelmed. Although Yanmen was successfully captured, it also set a precedent.

Today's result is yesterday's cause.

Now, if Zhou Yu does the same thing, the problem will be huge.

Yang Zheng could see his eagerness to fight from between the lines.

There will be some disobedience to foreign military orders.

He quickly ordered his secretary Lang Li Mi to write a military order not to go to war and to stick to Taiyuan!

In fact, it would be safest to just hold on to Taiyuan, wait for Yang Zheng to release the population from Shuzhong, populate Guanzhong, and then slowly erode Hedong. However, the situation will not always be so smooth.

I don’t know whether this military order came in time or not.

After several days of anxious waiting, Meng Guan's information arrived first.

It is said that Tang Bin, Liu Hong, and Zhuge Xu were all men with profound military skills and should not be taken lightly. Hedong, Shangdang, and Tongguan were all strengthened by Chen Tai, making it difficult to conquer without overwhelming troops.

The clouds in Yang Zheng's heart increased a bit.

Meng Guan had been dealing with detailed affairs in his early years, and his assessment was generally not wrong.

"Without further delay, I'm afraid General Zhou has already defeated Shangdang, so Your Majesty should make plans early!" Wei Guan said directly.

Yang Zheng sighed, "If Zhou Yu is defeated, Taiyuan may not be safe!"

This is the worst possible outcome.

The loss of Taiyuan was tantamount to a blow to the newly established Qin State.

The key was to shatter the myth that the Qin army was victorious in every battle.

"Zhou Yu and I both started out among the wild swordsmen... This is all my fault!"

Zhou Yu's ability is actually a bit lacking, and he is somewhat reluctant to stand alone. Yang Zheng was promoted to a high position because of Yuan Cong's old past.

It is impossible for everyone to be someone like Zhang Te or Meng Guan.

Among the generals such as Du Yu, Zhang Te, Wen Yang, Tian Zhang, and Meng Guan, some of them pale in comparison.

Wei Guan smiled and consoled him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. General Zhou has experienced hundreds of battles, and his soldiers are also elite. With a sudden attack, we may be able to capture Shangdang!"
