"Ziyi, you are going to Yizhou. When you get there, you will have many interactions with Zhang Liao and Gan Ning.
Also, I will make arrangements for everything in Gongda.
Once you get there, you won't face any trouble or anything like that.
Ziyi, you grew up by the sea and experienced strong winds and waves.
Nowadays, there are many people here who know how to fight on horseback and how to fight on foot, but not many people are proficient in water fighting.
So far, there is only one Xingba.
Wenyuan is also studying.
You will be of great use when you get there.
We need to train usable sailors over there..."
Liu Cheng looked at Tai Shici and said this.
Now that Guanzhong has stabilized, education is also progressing steadily.
There are some things that can start to be arranged.
Guanzhong, Yizhou, Liangzhou and other places have been completely pacified. Next, we need to go east to fight for hegemony!
There are two places to strive for hegemony in the east.
One is from the east of Guanzhou, and the other is from the east of Yizhou.
It's best to go both ways.
And there is a big river in Yizhou. If you follow the river eastward, you can go straight to Jingzhou.
From Jingzhou you can reach Jiangdong.
Marines are essential.
Liu Cheng would naturally not let go of a talent like Tai Shi Ci who was extremely proficient in both infantry and water warfare.
Therefore, we were ready to send him to Yizhou at this time.
The fact is just as Liu Cheng said, there is really no shortage of generals who are proficient in land warfare.
But there are not many people who are proficient in water warfare.
So far, there is only one Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba that can be used.
Well now, here comes another Taishi Ci.
Hearing this, Taishi Ci cupped his fists at Liu Cheng and said, "Taishi Ci obeys the emperor's orders in everything.
The emperor's uncle thought that where his subordinates were suitable to go and where they could exert their strength, he transferred Tai Shici there.
It cannot be said that it can play a big role. It can only be said that it is trying its best to work hard for the things assigned by the emperor's uncle.
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
The emperor's uncle was an admirable person, and Taishi Ci was convinced.
To be able to do things for the emperor's uncle, even if it means going through fire and water, there is no hesitation!
This is the glory of Taishi Ci!
Although Tai Shici was a rough man, he didn't understand any big principles.
But seeing the emperor's uncle manage these places in Guanzhong so well makes people happy.
Taishi Ci also wanted this kind of scene to spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
From here, we can go all the way to Dongnae, the hometown of the extended minister!"
Liu Cheng reached out and held Tai Shici's hand.
"With these words from Ziyi, I feel relieved.
With the help of loyal people like Ziyi, we can clean up the world from now on!
I have no worries!
Please rest assured Ziyi, as long as we work hard, this big man will still be a big man!
But it’s not just the same big guy!”
…
From Chang'an, Taishi Ci went south to Yizhou.
Didn't take the Baoxian Road.
Go directly to the most dangerous Ziwu Valley.
After all, if you go south from Ziwu Valley, although it is a bit steeper, the distance is the shortest.
The fastest way to Yizhou.
Taishi Ci was such an impatient person.
If things don't happen next, it's okay.
As long as the next step is taken, I will work hard to do it well and not want to waste a moment.
Such a person is really relieved to entrust matters to him...
As for Liu Cheng, after Taishi Ci left, he also made some troop deployments again.
At the same time, some craftsmen, money and food were also sent to Yizhou.
In Yizhou, a large shipyard has been built for shipbuilding.
With the craftsmen sent by Liu Cheng and the money transferred, the speed of shipbuilding has increased a lot.
At the same time, orders were also conveyed to Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Xun You and others.
Let them worry about this matter over there.
Strengthen navy training.
At the same time, the land warfare troops must be trained more...
At the same time, Liu Cheng also carried out a series of actions in Guanzhong and Liangzhou and began preparations in various aspects.
Prepare for the next expedition.
Of course, preparing for an expedition is quite complicated.
When the army is dispatched, it does not just leave.
This needs to take into account logistics, fighter aircraft, and various other things.
Moreover, while doing this, Liu Cheng also began to give orders to mobilize manpower to reclaim the area around Luoyang.
When Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, places like Luoyang became very empty, and suddenly there were fewer people.
Much land is barren.
Previously, although Liu Cheng was in Mianchi and other places, he left some people behind for farming.
But the scale was still too small after all, and after Zhu Jun's army arrived, these people who were stationed in the fields were all transferred to Tongguan.
At this time, Zhu Jun was completely defeated.
And Liu Cheng was ready to leave eastward.
Under this situation, Luoyang and other surrounding areas naturally need a lot of farming.
Because after developing these places, he can transport grain and grass from here to there, and he will be able to transport grain and grass less long distances.
The pressure on food and grass will be greatly reduced.
Speaking of this, people have to feel a little emotional, thank Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun had gathered troops and horses to confront Xu Huang and others at Tongguan, and was prepared for a long-term confrontation.
Therefore, while fighting, many people were also summoned to farm in Luoyang and in the vast area outside Tongguan.
It's a pity that he was defeated and died before the grain was completely harvested.
But the things he did were not in vain.
After Liu Chengzhun began to carry out various actions, the fields he left behind were not abandoned.
The villagers who summoned them did not let them leave.
At this point, all of this was advantageous to Liu Cheng.
When Liu Cheng was allowed to develop here, a lot of trouble was saved.
Those captured soldiers and horses from Guandong, including many old and weak, were scattered and organized into civilian villages, where they cultivated fields and produced food.
With the implementation of these step by step, Luoyang and other surrounding areas, which had been desolate for some time in the past, now have a lot more people again.
In addition to these, some Huns captured before were also transported here for farming...
By this time, the news that Liu Cheng had become king had completely spread.
The princes, as well as many learned people in Guandong, cursed Liu Cheng after hearing the news.
Many famous people in Guandong even sent out messages directly.
He said that Liu Cheng was planning to rebel, and called on people to raise troops to fight against Liu Cheng, revive the Han Dynasty, and rescue the emperor.
This kind of statement makes people feel excited after reading it.
However, after putting the slogan aside, the boiling blood will soon calm down again.
After all, no one is a fool.
We know how strong Guanzhong is now.
Difficult to overcome.
When Dong Zhuo and others had not yet established a firm foothold in Luoyang, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others gathered troops from all over the world, made such a big fuss, and went to attack Luoyang, but they also ended up in disgrace.
Dong Zhuo was not really beaten painfully. On the contrary, he was tortured severely by Dong Zhuo's people.
In the end, it just maintained a separatist situation.
Perhaps this separatist situation was intentional and what they wanted in their hearts.
Not long ago, Zhu Jun, a veteran of the Han Dynasty and a famous battlefield figure, was defeated and died.
This time it was even more outrageous. Liu Chengdu did not take action personally, but simply defeated some of his generals there.
This left Zhu Jun with a fatal end.
Under such circumstances, who among them would dare to raise troops again and take the initiative to attack Guanzhong?
The only hope is that if Liu Cheng doesn't come out to attack them in Guanzhong, it's already very, very good.
They are all just shouting, and no one will actually make an effort to do this.
Especially those Yuan Shao and others who had truly become princes at this time.
Moreover, at this time, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan really had no intention to pay attention to this.
Because by this time, the battle between the two of them had reached a fever pitch.
The fight is inextricable.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao suffered a lot and was beaten to the point of being autistic by Gongsun Zan.
However, as time went by, Yuan Shao's soldiers gradually developed these skills.
Moreover, after seeing Yuan Shao occupying Jizhou, the counselors who originally started to divide the interests and scheming with each other realized that the interests they could divide were still too few unless Gongsun Zan was defeated.
Moreover, after Gongsun Zan also seriously threatened their gains, many of them began to take the initiative to unite and make every effort to make suggestions for Yuan Shao.
Under this situation, the war situation began to gradually reverse after a period of time.
Yuan Shao, who was suppressed and beaten, gradually stabilized his steps.
And by this time, the counterattack against Gongsun Zan had begun.
It was Gongsun Zan's turn to be beaten, and he was under great pressure.
For a while, I couldn't relax anymore.
Under the current situation, even though they knew about Liu Cheng becoming the King of Han, how could they really pay attention to it?
It was just that he made some necessary attitudes, made some noise, cursed Liu Cheng, and criticized Liu Cheng from the moral high ground.
After all, you don’t really have to pay any price to say something or write something.
You can also improve your reputation here. Why not do this kind of thing?
This was Yuan Shao's reaction.
As for Gongsun Zan, everyone was already a little overwhelmed at this time.
Under such circumstances, after receiving the news, he really had no intention of paying attention to it.
If you become the King of Han, you should become the King of Han. Whoever becomes the King of Han will have no meaning.
At this moment, the most important thing for him is to defeat Yuan Shao first.
Preserving your own strength is the most serious thing!
The same is true. Gongsun Zan did not even verbally attack Liu Cheng.
I just focus on fighting Yuan Shao here...
But here in Xuzhou, Tao Qian could be said to have received two heavy blows in succession.
First, we got the news that Liu Cheng had become the King of Han.
Moreover, it is said that when he became the King of Han, it was Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming, veterans of the Han Dynasty, who took the lead in proposing it and fully supported it. They argued hard and convinced many who opposed it.
This made Tao Qian, a veteran of the Han Dynasty who still thinks about the Han Dynasty, a great shock in his heart.
Because by this time, although he desperately didn't want to admit it, he had already understood that Emperor Liu Cheng and Uncle Liu had begun to gradually gain the trust of many veterans of the Han Dynasty.
And this situation will become more and more serious as time goes by.
Originally, he had been thinking about Liu Cheng, who was just flirting with Dong Zhuo on the surface, but actually supported the emperor.
And he has been looking forward to Dong Zhuo meeting and having a complete falling out with the increasingly powerful Liu Cheng.
But now, I find that none of this happened.
Liu Cheng went directly to usurp the throne!
So from this point of view, the current emperor is really in decline!
It is certain that it will be replaced.
Although I also know that under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the current emperor to make a comeback.
Perhaps it was the most correct thing for this young and promising Uncle Liu to become the emperor.
However, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I still can't get over that hurdle.
I always feel that Liu Cheng is not orthodox.
The current emperor is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and is the flesh and blood of the late emperor.
The idea of loyalty to the emperor that he had accepted for a long time made him feel very uncomfortable about this matter.
To admit it seems to be a betrayal, a betrayal of one's past ideas.
Because of this, he felt very depressed.
At the same time, his anger towards Xun Shuang far exceeded his anger towards Liu Cheng.
Because in his opinion, Liu Cheng followed Dong Zhuo in the beginning and was ruthless.
He is a rebel-like figure in his own right.
If he really did something like this at this time, it was within people's expectations.
But for Xun Shuang and Xun Ciming, a veteran of the Han Dynasty, to do such a thing under such circumstances, it is extremely resentful!
Perhaps this is also Tao Qian, who feels that he and Xun Shuang are both veterans of the Han Dynasty and belong to the same group of people.
Under such circumstances, when scolding Xun Shuang, I could probably stand on a higher ground and stand out.
While Tao Qian was scolding like this, he gritted his teeth and continued to mobilize troops, horses, and grain and grass to transport them to Tongguan.
Continue to support Zhu Jun so that Zhu Jun can break Tongguan.
Able to kill all these rebellious people!
Zhu Jun is a master of military affairs, and may be able to achieve extraordinary achievements and accomplish extraordinary things.
However, just as the grain and grass on his side were ready, and before they were shipped out of Xuzhou, he received the news that Zhu Jun was defeated and captured, and the army was overturned.
Later, I learned that Zhu Jun committed suicide in Guanzhong.
After learning the news, Tao Qian could not bear such a heavy impact for a while, fell to the ground and passed out.
