Chapter six hundred and sixteen silent development
When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang came together, Liu Qi smiled happily.
In the main hall of Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion, the two sides talked harmoniously about the ownership of Jiangling City.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sang together, and the meaning was that it was the best result for them to take over Jiangling City.
Liu Qi did not go around the corner and directly stated that Jiangling City could be given to Liu Bei's army, but Liu Bei's army had to leave Fankou.
"Why is this?"
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were a little puzzled and didn't understand what Liu Qi meant.
Liu Bei naturally didn't care about the temporary resident Fankou, but Liu Qi suddenly asked him to leave, and he felt a little unhappy for a moment.
"Uncle, please manage Jiangling City well. It's not a good thing to be distracted by him!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Jiangxia County has been cleaned up almost all, and my nephew needs some disobedient existences!"
That's right, but Liu Bei is always feeling a little unhappy.
The most important matter of Jiangling City has been negotiated. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang did not have the thought or time to talk nonsense with Liu Qi, so they said goodbye and left quickly.
"Military advisor, what does my nephew mean?"
After leaving Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask directly.
"The eldest son also has his own plans!"
Zhuge Liang directly pointed out: "If the lord stayed in Fankou all year round, no matter for the sake of better survival or expansion, he would inevitably extend his hand to the Jiangxia territory!"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "My nephew, are you guarding me?"
Zhuge Liang smiled but said nothing. Isn’t this an obvious thing?
If you want to say, Liu Qi is quite particular, at least he gave Liu Bei a better Jiangling City, which is quite affectionate.
If you don’t have a clear mind, you may cause trouble.
"That's good!"
Liu Bei quickly adjusted his mentality and smiled and said, "In the future, when we arrive in Jiangling City, we will get along with Jiangxia!"
The strength of Jiangxia Army being able to take Jiangling City in one go is definitely not to be underestimated.
If there was a real stumble, Liu Bei would not be sure to cross the Jiangxia army.
The current situation is actually the best choice for Liu Bei Group.
Jiangling City is much better than Fankou. At least if Liu Bei’s army wants to expand, it will be very convenient in Jiangling City.
If you don’t pay more attention to it, you can easily pull up 200,000 people!
Even if you pay more attention to the elite troops, you can support a hundred thousand troops.
This is definitely a great thing for Liu Bei...
Moreover, it is farther away from Jiangxia, so it will be easier to talk much in the future.
Compared with Cao's army, the two families are much weaker and there will be no chance of uniting in the future.
"Military advisor, I don't want Jiang Xia's army to perform so well. We underestimated them in the past!"
Thinking of the Jiangxia army described by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the letter, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
"It's someone's fault!"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want some machinery and equipment to play such a big role in the war, which is also a negligence!"
"The military advisor doesn't have to blame himself!"
Liu Bei comforted, "Who knows that the siege can still fight like that?"
In the past, he had never thought about it.
Zhuge Liang also sighed and nodded, and was very impressed by the Jiangxia army's ability to make full use of the convenience of the machinery and equipment and its own advantages.
In the past, no one cared about the strength of the soldiers. Who knew that Jiang Xia’s army used this and directly relied on the strength of tens of thousands of soldiers to lay a gentle slope that rushed straight to the city tower?
Of course, Huang Zhong’s sharp shot suppression is also very relevant!
But what Liu Bei's group lacks the most are all kinds of peerless military generals.
Zhao Yun's shooting skills may not be as good as Huang Zhong, but they are not far behind. He is completely competent for the position of sharp shooting suppression.
As for charging, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are unparalleled in the world!
In this way, with the appropriate mechanisms and equipment and the combination of troops, the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army will become the elite in the world, whether it is a siege or a field battle in the future.
If you simply compete for the quality of military generals, Liu Bei's army will definitely stand out.
Thinking of this, I felt open-minded. The future of Liu Bei's army can be said to be extremely bright. As long as the Sun-Liu alliance successfully resisted Cao this time, the situation in the future will be very different.
Not to mention Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's thoughts, Liu Qi has ordered Huang Zhong, who was on the expedition, to lead his men back to the Jiangxia territory.
It is enough to make a splash. After all, the pig's feet are Sun-Liu Alliance and Prime Minister Cao. There is no need to be too transparent and he is too transparent.
As for Liu Bei's army evacuated Fankou, he would just send a small school to receive their complete camp, so there was no need to care too much.
A few days later, Huang Zhong's troops, who received the order, returned to Jiangxia with Liu Pan with a large number of important classics that they had plundered from Jiangling City.
"The two generals are back just in time. Someone intends to reorganize and train the soldiers of Jiangxia County and the township soldiers, and they need two generals to preside over the leadership!"
Liu Qi held a grand welcoming banquet for the two, and only after the banquet was over revealed his thoughts: "This time on the expedition, all soldiers who perform well will be promoted according to their merits and will be promoted as generals and schoolmen at all levels of the county and township soldiers!"
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong looked at each other, but Liu Pan took the initiative to ask: "Young Master, if you do this, the combat power of the Jiangxia County soldiers will be weak for a period of time!"
Huang Zhong followed and said, "Will there be no war in the future?"
"Don't worry, there will be no war here in a short time!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Now on the Yangtze River, the Eastern Wu naval army restrained and attracted the attention of Cao's army, and there was also Liu Bei's army guarding Jiangling City, which attracted another part of the attention of Cao's army. Prime Minister Cao would not think of us for a while!
”
"At this time, all Jiangdong's attention was attracted by the War of Resistance against Cao and had no intention of paying attention to us. Isn't this the best opportunity to recuperate and slowly accumulate strength?"
Huang Zhong and Liu Pan thought carefully and said that's true!
However, I was unable to take the initiative to participate in the war against Cao. As an ambitious and powerful general, I always felt a little unwilling to accept it!
Who is Liu Qi? How can you not see the two of them?
He said with a funny look: "Only after the two generals have rectified Jiangxia County, we will have the strength to expand, otherwise we will have to stay in Jiangxia County and not move!"
"Just this time, if our strength is strong enough, why should we give Jiangling City to Uncle Liu? Isn't it that our strength is insufficient? Do you need Uncle Liu to help us restrain our attention to attract Cao's army?"
"You can't rely on 50,000 county soldiers. Even if they are all steel, they cannot withstand the huge consumption of years of war!"
"I'm just thinking about it!"
Liu Pan was a little ashamed and smiled bitterly: "I have never been upset about these things before, and I am really not very comfortable with them now!"
Huang Zhong nodded and agreed, "Yes, there is nothing we can do about this situation!"
The two generals under him were persuaded, and things would be much easier to handle later.
With the two of them personally taking action to reorganize the county and township soldiers, it was naturally very smooth.
After all, the county and township tyrants were tortured so hard before. Not to mention that they suffered heavy losses, it would also hurt their vitality.
At this time, the prefect's office personally presided over the construction of the county and township soldiers system, so they did not have much strength to intervene.
The local tyrants didn’t have the courage to intervene randomly. What if the prefect Liu Qi gave their men to Liu Bei?
Although Jiangxia is peaceful and peaceful, the rest of Jingzhou is in turmoil and uneasy, it can even be said that war is raging.
The Jiangling where Liu Bei was stationed was uneasy. If he was sent there to support him, he would have no place to cry.
The most exaggerated thing is that Liu Bei is the best at digesting and absorbing other forces.
The county, army soldiers organized by local tyrants in Jiangxia were easily controlled by others in just a few seconds. They didn't want to continue doing such stupid things.
What's even more depressed is still behind...
I originally thought that the prefect's rebuilding the county and township military system would be severely lacking middle and lower-level officers. After all, it would allow local powerful men or confidants to occupy some important positions and make better efforts in the future.
Who knows where the soldiers from Jiangxia County came from so many middle and lower-level officers, who directly took the re-established county soldiers and township soldiers into their hands.
Not to mention that there is no room for local tyrants to take advantage of, local tyrants can take advantage of it.
What surprised Liu Qi was that with the fierce battle between Sun, Liu and Cao, the record of Huang Zhong's capture of Jiangling City was even more and more popular.
Unexpectedly, some of the heroes of Jingzhou who were unwilling to defect to Prime Minister Cao actually ran to Jiangxia County to compete with each other.
When Liu Qi was inspecting the county soldiers, he actually saw the names of Wei Yan and Huo Jun from the list of generals.
These two are amazing, they are both famous generals of Shu Han in official history.
In addition, some Jingzhou warriors also have similar interests. According to Liu Pan's happy statement, each of them has great strength and are all short of talents in the army.
Liu Qi smiled slightly, and did not give any special instructions to look after Wei Yan and Huo Jun, allowing them to play freely among the county soldiers.
In order to cultivate military talents that he can trust, Liu Qi specially ordered Liu Pan to set up many training units in the army.
What are military geography, battle examples and tactical analysis, military martial arts and advanced practice methods, and the simplest and basic literacy, etc.
At this time, Jiangxia Army lacked talents. As long as it really had the ability and talent, it would not worry about not having any promotion opportunities.
With Wei Yan and Huo Jun's martial arts and their own abilities, it is quite easy to make a comeback, so there is no need for Liu Qi to pay attention to it.
He had already passed the stage when he was excited when he saw a historical celebrity, and even Zhuge Liang could not cause a stir in his heart.
Of course, Liu Qi was in a very good mood if he could take the initiative to join him.
Even if he has no intention of conquering the world in this world, it will not prevent him from having enough power to deter others.
Just as he was leisurely managing Jiangxia, the Battle of Red Cliff broke out.
I originally thought this was the Gaowu World, and there was no saying about the Battle of Red Cliffs. Who knew that the inertia of history was so great that it turned to that point...
