There is a proverb circulating in China, which is that before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos first, and the world will be governed by Shu, and then Shu will be governed.
The princes of Shu who want to separate their kingdoms often block transportation to achieve rule, while the princes of the interior often pacify other places before turning around and attacking Yizhou, because attacking Yizhou often takes a long time to complete, and
Now that Yuan Shu has basically taken over the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, it is time to take over Yizhou.
"How do you want to fight?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Jia Xu, his eyes full of expectation.
"Actually, I haven't thought about it, but we can follow Emperor Guangwu's marching strategy. The first thing to capture is Hanzhong. After Hanzhong is captured, we can drive south from Hanzhong straight into the hinterland of Yizhou.
At the same time, the naval forces are organized and trained in Jingzhou. After taking Jiangzhou, they can go up the river and join forces with the land troops to encircle Chengdu."
Jia Xu thought for a while and roughly expressed his thoughts. He roughly followed the route Liu Xiu used to attack Yizhou.
"Well, then you will be the military advisor for the Yizhou offensive. You will be fully responsible for the Yizhou offensive. You can deploy all the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou Army, and everyone must cooperate."
Now that Jia Xu has a general plan, let him be responsible for the Yizhou offensive.
"My lord, Jia Xu is just a person who has just surrendered. He does not deserve such an important responsibility. It is better to let Yuan Hao or Gongtai take charge."
Even Jia Xu was dumbfounded when he heard Yuan Shu's words. Is this a military advisor?
Does this mean he is responsible for the overall situation?
You have to know that I am a person who has just surrendered. Are you so relieved?
"Haha, if I say you can, you can do it. Since it has been decided that you will be the military advisor in the battle of Yizhou, then you can just take charge of the overall situation with peace of mind and help me win Yizhou."
Seeing Jia Xu's stupid look, Yuan Shu just smiled slightly. He was now just like Chen Gong when he was in Yanzhou.
"In this case, Jia Xu obeys the order and will definitely capture Yizhou and offer it to the lord."
Since Yuan Shu trusts him so much, Jia Xu has nothing to say. Everything depends on his own actions.
"Ding dong, the host has started the Battle of Yizhou, triggered regional tasks, and updated the system mall list."
Mission Name: Battle of Yizhou
Mission requirements: Conquer the entire Yizhou within three years.
Mission reward: After capturing the entire territory of Yizhou, 50,000 elite mountain soldiers will be rewarded, and the recruitment success rate will increase by 500%.
Mission punishment: If Yizhou cannot be captured within three years, Jia Xu will die immediately.
"System store update?"
The Battle of Yizhou is unavoidable, but what the hell is this mall update about?
Yuan Shu directly entered the system space and opened the store.
"Fuck."
He saw a row of battleships clearly appearing in front of him.
In addition to the popular building ships, fighting ships, and Mengchong ships in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are also walking boats, sudden ships, gate ships, and stern ships. There are even ships from the Tang, Song, and Ming Dynasties, Fu ships, sea falcons, and tortoise-shell ships, etc.
Wait, there is really a dazzling array of things to choose from.
Although there are many things, they are also very expensive. Among them, the Fu Ship is the most expensive. A Fu Ship costs two thousand catties of gold, and it does not come with accessories, such as cannons, firecrackers, etc.
"System, how much are the drawings of the Fuchuan ship?"
To be honest, it would be a fantasy to rashly conjure up a lucky ship, so Yuan Shu directly asked about the cost of the system drawings.
"The blueprint requires 10,000 kilograms of gold, is the host sure you want to buy it?"
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard the system's answer. Isn't this embarrassing?
Ten thousand kilograms is five tons. If you buy a blueprint for five tons of gold, unless you have money to burn it.
"The key is that the host's current manufacturing conditions are not met at all, and the technology has not advanced to that point, so it will be expensive. If the host's technology reaches that level, the exchange price and blueprints of Fuchuan will also be discounted."
The system directly explained to Yuan Shu why the Fu Ship was so expensive.
"I understand, so if I want to exchange it for a fighting ship, how will the building ship give it to me?"
Since Fu Chuan cannot meet the requirements for the time being, Fu Chuan and Dou Chuan should be acceptable.
"The ships will appear directly at the estuary, and the host can explain the fleet that traveled far away from the Eastern Han Dynasty."
The system directly gave Yuan Shu an explanation.
"Then I will first exchange ten building ships and twenty fighting ships. Can I get a discount?"
Yuan Shu looked at the exchange prices of the building ship and the fighting ship. The building ship was worth a thousand taels of gold, and the fighting ship was worth five hundred taels of gold. Although it was a bit expensive for a big man, it was still within the acceptable range.
"If the host exchanges for twenty tower ships and forty fighting ships, he can get a 12% discount."
After a while, the system gave a reply.
"Then go ahead, I want twenty tower ships and forty fighting ships."
When Yuan Shu heard that he could get a 12% discount, he accepted it.
"The gold has been deducted. Please arrange for someone to go to Yuji to collect it."
The system directly deducted 35,200 taels of gold from Yuan Shu, and then arranged for twenty tower ships and forty fighting ships to appear at Yuji's seaport.
In addition to ships, there are also new things, such as trapped camps, Wei Wu soldiers, Wudang Feijun, Beiwei army, Xuanjia army, Qi family army, etc. All the elite military horses with names in ancient China appear on the list.
among.
The exchange conditions for these soldiers and horses are ten taels of gold in exchange for a set of equipment. If Yuan Shu wants to exchange, he can easily organize an elite army as long as he has money.
After reading the updated content, Yuan Shu had nothing to say, he just exited the system space and returned to reality again.
"Well, you decide how to deploy your troops and horses."
Yuan Shu glanced at Jia Xu, and it was time for him to show off.
"My lord, first of all, I want all the soldiers in Jingzhou, and then I need to organize and train the navy in Jingzhou. At the same time, I will mobilize soldiers from Yangzhou who are good at water, and update the Jingzhou navy warships. I will leave this to Gongtai, and then I need the army to go north to Yongzhou.
Chen sent troops to the Hanzhong border, and at the same time asked the troops from Liangzhou to join me in attacking Hanzhong."
Jia Xu thought for a while, and if he wanted to capture Yizhou, Hanzhong was the key. Jingzhou was dominated by naval forces, so southern soldiers should be the main force, and Hanzhong was where the main force of Jizhou's army would be exerted.
"Yes, but we must hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid something will change in Yizhou."
Yuan Shu nodded, but organizing and training the navy was not that easy. It couldn't be completed in a day or two. And it only took three years to capture Yizhou, so he was afraid that it would be too late.
"I calculated the time. If the Jingzhou Navy is the main force, the Yangzhou Navy is not weak. It can be completed in half a year at most. The shipyards in Yangzhou can also help with manufacturing. The most important thing is the war in Hanzhong."
Jia Xu thought for a moment and roughly outlined his arrangements.
"Okay, Gongtai, you will be responsible for the naval arrangements in Jingzhou. Yuan Hao will return to Yanzhou to continue to pacify the place. Wen Chou will lead the Tiger Army in Jingzhou. Xu Huang will lead the Hengye Army and follow Zilong to Yuzhou. The rest of the troops will follow me north to Chang'an.
, ordered Xun You to lead Yan Xing to lead the army to suppress the captives, Ju Yi to take the lead in ascending the army, and the newly formed Zhenxi Army to go south to attack Wudu County in preparation for the Battle of Guanzhong."
Since Jia Xu arranged it this way, Yuan Shu had nothing to say, so he could just leave it to Chen Gong. Jia Xu also took all his elite troops northward, and he was waiting for Cao Cao's arrival in Wan County.
The next day, Cao Cao finally arrived in Wan County.
"Lord, Cao Cao has arrived."
Chen Gong came to Yuan Shu and told Yuan Shu the news of Cao Cao's arrival.
"Let him see you."
Yuan Shu nodded to Chen Gong and asked him to bring Cao Cao to an audience.
"promise,"
Soon Cao Cao was brought to Yuan Shu by Chen Gong.
"Cao Cao pays homage to your lord."
When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shu, he directly cupped his fists and saluted him.
"Mengde, we haven't seen you for a long time, we don't need to see you outside."
Yuan Shu went down and helped Cao Cao up.
"I wonder what your lord is going to do with Cao Cao?"
Although Yuan Shu was out of sight, Cao Cao now wanted to clarify his position.
"Mengde, how do you want to arrange it?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao. Since he said it, he would first listen to what Cao Cao wanted him to do.
"Cao Cao is a surrendered minister. He cannot be sent to other places. It will cause a lot of trouble. I think it is better for me to accompany your majesty when sending letters."
Cao Cao thought for a moment and directly expressed his thoughts.
"It's not bad to go to Xindu. Then I'll be a big man, so I won't bury you."
Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao, since you want to accompany the emperor, then follow your wish.
