During the first half of the 16th year of Jian'an, Liu Qi stayed in the secret valley where the talisman formation was arranged, and received a ** general who came to "study"...
He was rarely so concerned, and his generals performed quite well.
When he was in the mysterious valley where the talisman formation was arranged, he stayed for half a year and returned to the county town where the prefect was located, the combat power of the Jiangxia Army's senior management was no longer as good as before.
The effect of the talisman formation is very obvious. At least after a month of hard work, the strength of the Jiangxia army generals has been improved to varying degrees.
The number of first-class military generals has reached an astonishing ten!
The number of second-rate military generals easily exceeded 20!
Such a lineup of generals is quite amazing.
Looking at the princes in the world, only Lao Cao's subordinates may have the same number or even more powerful generals.
Liu Bei from Xiangyang and Sun Quan from Jiangdong have peerless generals under his command, but there are definitely not so many first-class and second-class military generals.
At the same time, Liu Qi also determined that the upper limit of the generals of the Three Kingdoms is very high. As long as they are given a suitable environment and provide sufficient cultivation resources, they can burst out with amazing potential!
At this time, he felt that Jiang Xia's preparations were enough.
"Shi Yuan, what's going on in Xiangyang?"
After returning to the prefect's office, Liu Qi recruited a staff team and directly asked Pang Tong, who was already the chief staff member at that time.
It's gold, it will shine sooner or later!
Pang Tong was a perfect gold. After joining the Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion, after a brief initial adaptation, he quickly showed enough talent and quickly stood out from the staff group and became the chief staff member.
As the secretary and leader of the strategist around Liu Qi, the leader of Jiangxia, Pang Tong naturally has considerable authority and can interfere in the military and political affairs of the Jiangxia Group. It is not an exaggeration to say that a high position and power are at all.
After more than half a year of training, Pang Tong's demeanor was calm and composed at this time, which was obviously much better than when he first joined the franchise.
"Duke Xuande is determined to win the ambition of Yizhou!"
Pang Tong chuckled and said, "For the past six months, Xiangyang has been preparing to enter Yizhou!"
Tsk!
Liu Qi said with ease: "It seems that we have to be evil guests!"
"Empress, do you really want to take this step?"
"There is nothing to hesitate about. It's better not to hesitate about some things!"
"I'm worried that Duke Xuande will not give in easily!"
"Then he can't help!"
Liu Qi chuckled and said confidently: "If you don't have the ability to crush, you won't be the first to cause trouble for him!"
"Besides, he might not understand something about it for a while, but for the Liu clan, it was definitely a long-awaited thing!"
Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I am a man of Guan Xuande, not inferior!"
"When did you say that you want Liu Xuande to live under others?"
Liu Qi sneered: "I have agreed with the high priest of the Witch Cult. I will only have twenty years to unify the Jiuzhou and achieve the throne of the human king!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Pang Tong and said calmly: "And, there was no intention of leaving behind the blood descendants!"
What?
Pang Tong was shocked and said anxiously: "You must not do this..."
If you get satisfactory results, you will be able to leave after you pat your butt and leave. We trusted civil and military officials will have a hard time in the future!
"Don't worry about Shi Yuan!"
Liu Qi smiled faintly and said, "When a certain person re-establishes Ji Han, it will definitely not be too long. By then, I will have time to integrate with Ji Han!"
"Since the envoy has already thought of it, there is nothing to say!"
Pang Tong was a little embarrassed, but in private he felt relieved.
As long as Liu Qi still remembers these confidant civil and military officials, it would be great if Liu Qi became a successful man, Wang Shun left the Jiuzhou barrier, how should they deal with themselves, it would not be too late to say that at that time.
...
Liu Bei, who was in charge of the Xiangyang County Magistrate's Office, suddenly received a strange official letter from Jiangxia.
The reason why it is strange is because of the content of the official letter.
The Jiangxia army plans to start a large-scale military exercise next month and inform Xiangyang County Magistrate in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Military exercises?
After just a little thought, Liu Bei understood what this means.
In fact, it is similar to the training in the military camp, just turning simple training into confrontation between two or three parties.
Although Liu Bei's troops rarely do such exercises, it does not mean that they do not know such things.
"This Jiangxia army is really good at playing tricks!"
In private, when Liu Bei communicated with Zhuge Liang, his face was full of strange expressions.
"Then let's have a good look. Liang is very curious about the combat power of Jiangxia Army!"
Zhuge Liang waved the goose feather fan lightly and smiled leisurely: "Aren't your lord curious?"
Naturally curious!
Jiangxia's development momentum is so rapid, isn't Liu Bei blind?
The people's livelihood economy is developing so well, what about the army as the confidence?
Liu Bei knew that Jiang Xiajun had to practice every day.
Such training intensity is very rare in Liu Bei's army.
It’s not that Liu Bei didn’t know the benefits of doing this, he really couldn’t afford it.
The military generals who trained every day, consumed more than three times the food and food resources that were ordinary.
Although the economy in Xiangyang is good, the lifeline of the economy has always been in the hands of the aristocratic families. Not many of them left to Liu Bei, and it is not enough for Liu Bei's soldiers to train every day, and at most they can only be trained every three days.
That's it, the training frequency of Liu Bei's soldiers is also very high.
Speaking of this, Liu Bei envies Jiang Xia’s abundant supplies very much...
Not only is the grain production and harvest year by year, but it can also meet the basic meat needs of the people through fishing and breeding, which is remarkable.
The reason why Jiangxia Army was able to practice daily is that it was sufficient supply of meat, which could make up for the huge consumption during training.
The Xiangyang County Magistrate's Office also followed suit, but in the end, it could not reach the output of Jiangxia, which was also called Liu Bei helpless.
Of course, Liu Bei knew the reason, but it was difficult to force it.
If you want a good harvest, you will have nothing more than four words: good weather and good weather in this era.
Just so happens that any civil servant with certain abilities has enough soul power to mobilize some spiritual energy in the world and achieve the ability to change the weather in a small range.
A top adviser like Zhuge Liang can even call the wind and rain, changing the weather in a region of hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles for a long time.
It can be said that as long as Liu Bei can mobilize his civil servants and advisers, it will be a very easy and simple thing to achieve good governance.
pity……
Civil officials and strategists who can use the power of the soul to trigger the changes of the sky, basically all came from aristocratic families, and at least were local tyrants.
How could they work hard to change the sky statue for the harvest of the mere Guizhou leader?
It seems ridiculous to say that modern people feel that it is ridiculous. When Lao Cao started his business, he also used human flesh as military rations because of insufficient military rations.
But at that time, Lao Cao had several top and first-class advisers under his command.

As long as they are willing and change the weather at the right time, Lao Cao will definitely achieve good weather and good food production. Relying on the tax grain under his jurisdiction alone can meet military needs, which can result...
Even if he is as strong as Lao Cao, he has no courage to force his top advisers to do things that dedicate to the common people.
But, Jiangxia is an exception...
Except for Pang Tong, who has recently defected to Liu Qi, there are almost no top counselors.
Even the first-class advisers are not even at the first-class level. They are basically at the second-class level. They are not very capable, but they are better at obedience.
Liu Qi took out many family collections and lured these guys into being a cattle and horse, ensuring the good weather and prosperity under Jiangxia's rule.
Of course, Liu Qi did not break his promise and specially opened a small library, allowing his powerful civil and advisers to read the books in accordance with the contribution values to improve themselves.
The effect is pretty good...
In this era, those who can succeed in reading and nourishing the power of soul are at least not fools, but are book resources.
The library run by Liu Qi has rich collections, at least not less than the so-called aristocratic families.
After long-term observation and study, there have been many civil officials and counselors. Their abilities have been greatly improved, and their spiritual cultivation has also improved a lot.
Not only that, Liu Qi also allowed them to go home and write a copy of honor as a family heirloom.
Taking a two-pronged approach, the civil officials and counselors of Jiangxia were really hardworking. As long as there was a need, they would go there to ensure the surrounding areas were in good condition.
This is what Liu Bei envies the most...
He wanted to learn, but after so many years of accumulation, he also preserved a lot of classics in his hand. Unfortunately, Xiangyang is obviously not a good place to imitate.
The great families of Jingzhou settled here in a concentrated manner, and the scholars from Xiangyang would not be allowed to imitate Jiangxia's peers.
Therefore, although Xiangyang and Nanjun are the essence of Jingzhou, the grain harvest in the past two years is not as good as that in Jiangxia.
Due to the tranquility of the environment in recent years, Jiangxia rarely mobilized troops.
To be more precise, Jiangxia rarely uses a large number of people.
If Liu Bei was not curious about the Jiangxia army soldiers, the results of daily training were jokes.
Since Jiang Xia took the initiative to give him the opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.
It happened to see Jiang Xiajun's performance, and it also made him more determined to enter Shu.
"Since Jiangxia's army is interested, it's better to let General Guan, General Zhang and General Zhao go and watch together!"
Zhuge Liang suggested: "I heard that there have been many good players in the Jiangxia army recently, so I can ask several generals to take a good look!"
The tone was quite subtle, and Liu Bei understood it and nodded repeatedly to express his approval.
Speaking of this, he was also quite depressed.
In recent years, the environment has been peaceful, and Liu Bei's basic foundation has been stable, but the Jiangxia next to him is quite strange, and from time to time, one or several second-rate generals appear.
Although they are just second-rate generals, they are the backbone of the army and represent the real combat power of an army.
You can't, you can count on all the powerful generals...
