Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

The sun rises and the moon sets, and in a flash, November of the first year of Jian'an has passed.

This year is really coming to an end.

Time never waits for anyone, it passes slowly and steadily. Standing at the beginning of December, Wang Zheng looked back and felt that this period of time had been very fulfilling. Several major events had been accomplished and several events had been settled. Guan Tianjun's military and political decisions for the future development, of course, also unknowingly have an extra hobby.

In the beginning, he often went to the study alone when no one was around, often in the dead of night, closed the door, lit candles, and spread out two maps for a closer look.

One of them is a national map that Yuan Shu had surveyed before, covering the geographical features of the thirteen prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also carrying the ambitions of the Skeleton King.

Wangzheng sometimes looks at this one, but more often he looks at another one, "The Whole Territory Map of Chu State" drawn by Mi Heng.

That's right, it was Chu State.

Because at present, the nine counties under Wang Zheng's command, except Beihai Kingdom and Taishan County, from Langya to Pengcheng, from Donghai to Xiapi, and from Guangling to Jiujiang and Lujiang, are almost all the territory of Chu State back then.

Of course, this is far from the entire territory of Chu State at its peak. After all, it is a superpower close to 150 million square kilometers. You must know that after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the land area was only 340 million square kilometers.

But even so, looking at the current world and looking at the princes, the territory that Wang Zheng now sits on is extremely vast.

And whenever Wang Zheng sees this map, he will suddenly feel like a dream, and a sentence will always come to his mind: "These are all made by me!"

Picturesque country, my place.
Every time I read this, the pride and pride in my heart is soaring, it is really hard to express it, let alone restrain it.

So this map has become a never-ending existence. Every time Wang Zheng looks at it, he can't help but think about it. On this map, the surname Liu used to be surnamed here, and the surname Kong used to be there. This piece originally belonged to Cao. That piece originally belonged to Yuan, but now they all follow his surname Wang.

And in this process, how many wars have been experienced, resulting in the fact that when I first got it, countless counties and counties were dilapidated, the city was withered, and people everywhere were in dire straits.

But now, after the war, appeasement, painstaking management in the past few years, under the concerted efforts of him, Mi Heng, Guo Jia and other ministers, various places have begun to get rid of the shadow of war, and there have been obvious improvement.

Although I dare not say that it is prosperous and prosperous, but the vigorous vitality contained in it cannot be hidden, nor can it be blocked, and it is faintly ready to come out.

Wang Zheng has a distinct, surging, and what may be called "definite" impulse and certainty. As long as he is given a few more years, he will be able to develop the nine counties under his rule more vigorously, and not only restore the past. The vitality can make it even better than before!
It's a joy.A joy to look forward to.

And this kind of happiness is by no means comparable to the excitement of marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, defeating powerful enemies, and plundering cities and lands.

If it is said that fighting on the battlefield is a kind of excitement similar to destruction, then developing people's livelihood and rebuilding their homes is clearly a kind of joy of construction.

The previous Wang Zheng naturally preferred the former, the joy of defeating the enemy and the pleasure of indulging in killing are things that a man craves, but after this period of time, Wang Zheng no longer hates copywriting as much as before, because he knows that this seems boring. However, it will be exchanged for a sense of accomplishment and enrichment after construction.

Destruction is pure destruction; but construction can give people hope.Destroy the old and build the new.As the power expands, Wang Zheng also feels more and more
Yes, that's actually what he wanted to do.

Yes, this is his mission from time travel.

Not only to build Xuzhou and Yangzhou, but also not only to build Chu, Wang Zheng wanted to build the whole of China.

"Struggling with the sky is a joy. Fighting the earth is a joy. Fighting with people is a joy."

he also
It was only at this time that he really understood the meaning of this sentence in a deep sense. It can even be said that since he started the incident, even if he has a prophet, even if he has a riding and cutting system, when facing people like Cao Cao and Liu Biao, When confronting the enemy, Wang Zheng has never been timid, because he knows that he has no way out, but he has never been so full of self-confidence as he is now.

That is a kind of self-confidence that firmly believes that "the winner will be me"!

But now, Wang Zheng has it.

From fighting for "survival" at the beginning, to fighting for a foothold, to fighting for stability and life in World War II, and finally at the last moment of the first year of Jian'an, after being honed by the flames of war, after going through time and time again After going from predicament to escape, from facing the enemy to defeating the enemy, the ambition of Wang Zheng is no longer what it used to be.

He is no longer just looking at one place, but really has the world in his heart.

Perhaps it can also be said that nearly four years of continuous polishing have finally turned a small person and ordinary person who was originally a small person in essence into a leader with a mature heart and an increasingly majestic personality.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zheng at this time has the qualifications and confidence to truly care about the world.

At the beginning of December, Wang Zheng went to various places to gather civil and military officials from all counties and wings to gather in Shouchun and hold a large military meeting.

The reason for this military discussion was that the disputes in the Northland had finally settled, Yuan Shao captured Yijing, and Gongsun Zan set fire to the watchtower.

According to Lu Su's proposal, at this time Wang Zheng should send envoys to present a congratulatory form to form a friendship with Yuan Shao and relieve his suspicion.

Of course, it is best to be a false minister, and even more so to actively suggest Yuan Shao to become emperor. In this way, the possibility of Yuan Shao going south will be greatly reduced, and the Wangzheng's power group can gain a period of recuperation and development.

But after weighing it over and over again, perhaps because of inner self-esteem and pride, Wang Zheng did everything else according to plan, but he didn't choose to be Yuan Shao's younger brother, even on the surface.

I don't know if this is the reason why this step was not taken. The envoys to Hebei did not do their best. Yuan Shao accepted the congratulations and gifts, but he did not agree to Yangzhou's proposal to form an alliance.
Although this does not mean that the Jizhou army will definitely go south in a large scale, but Wang Zheng has to make preparations to meet the enemy.

And according to the analysis of Guo Jia, Mi Heng and others, Yuan Shao is actually the same as Wang Zheng in the past two years, and he can be regarded as a poor soldier.

Of course, because the family background of the old Yuan family is strong enough, and the foundation of Jizhou is far from comparable to that of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, it is possible that the other party will not be short of food and will recover quickly. It takes half a year to prepare.

Then there is a great possibility that it will be in June and July of the second year of Jian'an, and it will not exceed autumn at the latest. Autumn is the main punishment, and the weather is cool, the horses are fat, and it happens to be the season when the wheat is ripe, which can be said to be the best time for combat. season.

In other words, the Wangzheng Group still has about half a year to prepare for the war. The purpose of holding the military meeting is, on the one hand, to make everyone under his command mentally prepare for this matter, and prepare their troops for it. Before the war, solve other problems.

For example, in Lujiang and Jiujiang, although the remaining Yuan and Sun remnants are not many in number, there will still be small-scale confrontations from time to time, and Wang Zheng requires that they must be completely wiped out within this year.

For example, before Wang Zheng sent an order to all parts of Jiangdong, if the city walls were damaged during the war, repairs should be stepped up. At that time, they were given a month and a half.This is also the time to send someone to check.

For example, the four counties on the right side of the river that have not yet been restored, Kuaiji and Yuzhang can be ignored for the time being, but Danyang and Wu counties pose a threat to Lujiang and Jiujiang geographically, and have the remnants of the Sun family and Shanyue allied. Possibly, then it must be resolved before June next year, lest there be a crisis of being attacked by the enemy.

Now that Wang Zheng has expressed his attitude, there is naturally no room for negotiation on these requests. Wu Sheng and the others will naturally pat their chests to ensure that they are resolutely fulfilled, but they also put forward their own requests incidentally.

Since there will be a big war in the near future, do we have to arrange food and ordnance?

This topic
As soon as it started, almost everyone started to complain, regardless of whether they were really in short supply or not. After all, no one would think that there was too much food in the city, and no one would think that the army had too many ordnance reserves.

The food is easy to talk about. The 400 million dendrobium grain that Jingzhou lent to Xuzhou has been transported one after another after about a month. Apart from being used as grain seeds and helping the poor people, there is still a lot left.Even if Wang Zhengdang asked Zhang Zhaohe and the left and right divisions to consider the different situations in different places, they would increase or decrease, and just deploy and distribute.

But ordnance is a bit troublesome. The Tianjun had been short of armament and equipment before. After winning Xuzhou, it was easy to live a prosperous time, and because of attacking Beihai, going down to Yuzhou, destroying Sun Ce, defeating Yuanshu and other battles, most of the consumption was spent. However, the armor and weapons are still better, and the inventory of equipment for defending and attacking the city has long been gone.

There are quite a few in Yangzhou, and Wang Zheng arranged to be transferred from here to Xuzhou and Taishan. After all, if Yuan Shao went south, Cao Cao might take advantage of the opportunity to attack. These two places are the focus of the front line.

So in the following days, ships between the two states continued to come and go, day and night, and several counties and ports near the river were overwhelmed.

Seeing that the transportation was busy, Wang Zheng discussed with Zhang Zhao and others again, planning to reorganize and dredge the waterways of the two places after the busy period. After all, although Xuzhou and Yangzhou can also travel by land, the efficiency is sure. Less than waterways.

It is not to guard against Yuan Shao. Whether it is to challenge Cao Cao, expand the territory, go deep into the Central Plains or go south to Jingzhou, it is definitely not enough to rely on Yangzhou alone. All the manpower and material resources of the nine counties must be mobilized together. The transportation volume will definitely only increase, not decrease.

If the canal can be re-opened, it will save manpower and reduce consumption on the one hand; on the other hand, it can also increase the speed of transportation.At the same time, it will also be of great help to develop trade and enhance exchanges and connections between the nine counties.

There are so many things to do.

Many times, Wang Zheng wished he could divide himself into two people.I am so busy every day that I hit the back of my head with my feet.But having said that, since he has already been so busy, how could he not feel fulfilled?

Not only did he want to reopen the canal, he also wanted to build the road.

Not only did he want to build roads in Yangzhou, but he also wanted to build roads in Xuzhou, between Mount Tai and Pengcheng, between Beihai and Langya, expand and connect the existing official roads of the Han Dynasty, and build several roads across the north and south. , thorough east and west, and wide enough avenue.

Because only when the transportation is convenient, can he have the ability to control the territory that is thousands of miles away more firmly. Unfortunately, the foreign enemies are all around, and his hands and feet are bound. Right now, he can only focus on preparing for war.

Of course, in addition to these, since it is December, there is another major event that must be mentioned.

That was naturally the wedding event of Wang Zheng, Xuzhou Mu.

Wang Zheng didn't pay too much attention to this aspect. Anyway, the date has been set, and all the girls are now in their birthdays. As for the etiquette and procedures of getting married, Zhang Zhao and others will be busy.

But he doesn't take it seriously, it doesn't mean that his future "wife" and "concubines" don't take it seriously either.

For example, Mrs. Feng, Fan Wu, and Huo Si, who have already experienced it once, are still restless, while the step trainer, Qiao Wan, Lu Qiling and others who are going to get on the sedan chair for the first time are even more thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning.

Perhaps the only exception is Mi Zhen.

To be honest, although the two meetings were regarded as speculation in words, and the conversation was very pleasant, but if it is said that Mi Zhen has a crush on Wang Zhengfeng because of this, it is really not for the sake of that.

At most, it is a slight favor.

After all, in Wang Zheng's eyes, Mi Zhen's generosity may be very rare, but in Mi Zhen's eyes, Wang Zheng's heroism may not be unparalleled in the world.

Not to mention anything else, Mi Zhen met Liu Bei before, and felt that Liu Bei was very heroic, and even in terms of appearance alone, he was much better than Wang Zheng.

However, compared to Liu Bei's elder brother Mi Fang's proposal, Mi Zhen just did not express any objection, and it was her own idea to choose Wang Zheng as her husband.

There is no other, because in Mi Zhen's view, the foundation of Wangzheng is more stable and the situation is better.

It is precisely because of this that even without the second brother Mi Zhu knowing it,
Mi Zhen, who stayed in Xiapi, had already done a lot of effort without knowing it, accumulating virtue and looking after her. That's why the Xuzhou aristocratic family chose her as the most suitable candidate when Wang Zheng's marriage was just on the agenda.

This is why Mi Heng actively recommended.

So for Mi Zhen, everything today is truly a matter of course, blossoming and bearing fruit, so how can she be restless and nervous?

Of course, Mi Zhen was a little bit regretful that she did not get the status of the main wife in the end.

Especially if there is only one main wife, it's all right, after all, when it comes to family, Wen Hou Lu Bu is indeed much higher than Mi's family, and it is indeed not easy to grab the position of main wife from Lu Qiling.

But since Wang Zheng proposed a flat wife, everyone originally thought that Mi Zhen would do her part. Even before Wang Zheng was actually announced, everyone in Xiapi who received the news seemed to regard her as the future mistress.
In the end, he didn't fight for a maid?
