Humane Yongchang

Chapter 369
His Royal Highness Yan Qing.

More than a dozen audience members joined hands to spread out the magnificent map of the twelve prefectures with a square area of ​​three feet in front of Chen Sheng.

Chen Shengfu was standing on the steps in front of the hall. The loose flax robe on his body had been replaced by a robe with a mysterious pattern of mountains and rivers. Without saying a word, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's majestic aura still covered the entire Yan Qing Hall. People in it, even their breathing slowed down unconsciously, as if they were afraid of disturbing Chen Sheng above and attracting the wrath of thunder!
When the map of the twelve states was neatly put together, more than a dozen audience members bowed and retreated to both sides of the hall.

Chen Sheng walked down the steps slowly, took off his head and shoes, only wearing a white foot bag, and slowly walked onto the map of the twelve states of the world.

He stood at the location of Chen County in capital bold and looked towards the south of the map of the twelve states.

In front of him are Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou!
Add Yanzhou at his feet.

This is the territory that he Hanting has occupied, is occupying, and is about to occupy.

Yangzhou has no danger to defend. After Liu Ji left, the defense force was empty. Now that he has the spare strength to bring Yangzhou under the rule, there is no reason to stand on the sidelines.

After waiting for Han Ting to enter Yangzhou... the southeastern part of Kyushu is all in his Han Ting urn!

Staring at the densely marked counties in front of him, detailed divisions of counties, mountains, hydrology, and the three states of the main road traffic, Chen Sheng's mind seems to be constantly rising, rising, and looking at this boundless vast territory from a thousand feet above the sky. !
His hands shrouded in big sleeves clenched his fists tightly!
It happened at this time that Li Si, who came over immediately after learning that Chen Sheng had arrived at the Han Palace, hurriedly stepped into the Yanqing Palace, pinched his palms and said, "Old minister pays homage to the king, long live my king, long live!"

Chen Sheng raised his eyes, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Li, please get up!"

"Thank you king!"

Li Si got up, looked at Chen Feng who was standing beside him, stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "When will Director Chen return to the center?"

Chen Feng bowed his hand and replied: "I have to worry about Mr. Li, the minister will only return to the city in the afternoon!"

Li Si nodded slightly and said no more.

After seeing the two of them chatting, Chen Sheng slowly opened his mouth and said: "Li Gong came just right, Chen Feng just returned, Yangzhou Xiaoqi general Liu Ji, has abandoned Yangzhou to lead the army westward, I have decided to send the army south, and lead Yangzhou to my Han court. Territory, your Zuo Xiangfu should prepare early!"

Li Si's body was shocked when he heard the words, and his heart couldn't express the shock and absurdity!
'So big Yangzhou, just start without a fight? '

He was not shocked that Hanting could swallow Yangzhou, but that Hanting swallowed Yangzhou without doing anything!
The might of the king is so terrifying!
"King of the Enlightenment!"

Li Siyi said: "The old minister had made a plan for the imperial court to enter Yangzhou earlier. The decrees are ready-made, and they will be submitted to the king for reading later. Only the officials sent to take over Yangzhou will take some time to consider!"

"Li Gong is in government, he is diligent, far-sighted and pragmatic."

Chen Sheng gave Li Si a very satisfied look: "As expected of my minister of the humerus of Hanting!"

No one would dislike Li Si being a well-organized and well-prepared subordinate who can do his work well ahead of time.

Of course he is no exception.

Chen Sheng was not stingy with his own praise, but Li Si did not dare to take credit, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Miao Zan, the meek ability of this old minister is comparable to that of Your Majesty. It is like the light of a firefly and the brilliance of a bright light!"

"Oh, really?"

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Since you are so aware of the gap between you and me, why do you dare to call the shots for me and mobilize the power of Wang Ting to cooperate with Confucian preaching?"

Li Si's complexion changed, but he didn't say a word of excuse, instead he bowed straight to the end and said in a long voice, "Old minister knows what's wrong, please punish the king!"

Chen Sheng lowered his eyes, looked at the three southeastern states of Chen Jun again, and said lightly: "I have started an investigation of you and the right minister, it should be merit, it should be merit, it should be fault, or fault, and I will wait for Wang Ting's reward and punishment. It is!"

Li Si responded respectfully: "Wei!"

After the ceremony, he got up and waited for His Highness with a normal expression.

Chen Sheng also continued to observe the map of the four states as usual.

The two of them acted as if nothing had happened just now.

Chen Feng, who was standing beside him, was at a loss, and he couldn't understand it.

After a while, Li Siyi opened his mouth and said, "Is Your Majesty thinking about the deployment of troops after the expansion of our Great Han territory?"

Chen Sheng gave a "um" and asked without raising his head, "What did Duke Li teach me?"

That was indeed what he was thinking about.

In the past, the Han court had more troops and less land, so there was no need to spend too much time thinking about the issue of deploying troops. They directly divided their troops into four groups, and arranged a large army on the south, east, and northwest sides, and put Chen Jun in the middle.

But from now on, Hanting will have four states. The line of defense with the enemy has become longer, and the territory to be defended has also become larger. Naturally, it is no longer as simple and rude as before. The east, west and northwest are all the way, and we must fully consider factors such as the enemy's offensive route, the terrain where our army is stationed, and the difficulty of support between the garrison and the garrison...

This is a technical job!
"Your Majesty exalts the old minister too much!"

Li Si looked ashamed: "Your Majesty is a famous general in the world. Since the start of the army, he has fought in the South and the North, and he has been invincible. Everyone in the world is afraid to fight with the King of Han. The old minister knows nothing about military affairs. How dare you teach your Majesty? "

Chen Sheng thought about his own question intently, and said casually, "So what?"

Li Si held his hand and said, "The old minister privately thinks that the priority for the king is not to consider how to deploy troops, but to move the capital!"

"Relocate the capital?"

Chen Sheng finally raised his head and glanced at Li Si, his brows furrowed.

Li Si said firmly: "Exactly."

After a pause, he explained to Chen Sheng in detail: "Your Majesty is the master of the military family, and Chen County has deficiencies in the military, so the old minister will not be ugly, and the old minister only speaks of Chen County's administrative deficiencies."

"The old minister believes that Chen Jun has three shortcomings in the administrative location."

"One, Chen County is located in the northern part of my Han Dynasty, and it is too far away from the southern counties of Yangzhou in the south. The decree comes and goes, the shortest is more than a month, and the long is two months. Now is the time when my Han Dynasty is advancing by leaps and bounds and changing with each passing day. , the difference of one month is enough to make the development of the north and the south very different."

"Both, the world knows that the king is from Chen County, Chen County, and the king is set to be here. Those who know the king know that the king is inseparable from his homeland, and those who do not know the king will only think that the king sees only the elders of Sangzi, and there is no other state. It is extremely unfavorable for the people of the county to simplify their talents and govern their localities.”

"Three, Chen County is an enemy on three sides, and the people under the rule feel precarious. If things go on like this, it is also extremely unfavorable for my great Han to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the place."

"These three points, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Li Si long bowed to the end.

Chen Sheng frowned and remained silent.

This may be a blindness.

Chen Sheng has a great sense of belonging to Chen County. After all, Chen County is his first foothold in this world, and it is also his home and hometown in this world.

His family and his relatives are mostly here.

The people here also gave him excellent senses.

Coupled with his many investments in Chen County in the early days, such as Jixia Academy, [-] mu of grain fields and so on.

All kinds of factors made him subconsciously ignore the many shortcomings of Chen County's geographical location, and take it for granted as the base camp of his forces.

Until now, when Li Si pointed out Chen County's location flaws, he suddenly realized that Chen County was indeed not suitable for a dynasty's capital.

Even as the capital of a separatist dynasty, Chen County is far from qualified.

The flaws in the administrative location, Li Si has already made it very clear.

The defect in the military location is even more fatal in Chen County!
Look around Luoyi, Badaxiongguan Gongwei.

Look at the surroundings of Chen County, there is no danger to defend!
This fatal flaw, combined with the current territorial division of Kyushu, with Chen County as the capital, does indeed look like a short-lived dynasty.

The most convincing example is the battle of Chenliu that just ended.

Ji Zhou and Taiping Dao joined forces to attack Hanting.

Wang Jianjun came from Sizhou, and when he left Sizhou, it was Chen Liu.

Zhang Liang came from Jizhou, and out of Jizhou is Jiyin County.

As a defender, Chen Sheng had no choice but to fortify against the enemy on the front line of Chenliu and Jiyin County!
If it wasn't for Li Xin's soldiers approaching the city of Luoyi, forcing Wang Jian to withdraw his troops, Chen Sheng was really planning to use his 15 troops to garrison the fields, and set up a formation to fight against Chen Liu and Wang Jian's 20 troops.

The most tragic battle between the two armies is this kind of positional battle that cannot be retreated for half a step. Usually, this kind of positional battle will eventually turn into a grindstone of flesh and blood, and will continuously swallow the lives of soldiers on both sides of the offensive and defensive!

Chen Sheng knew this very well.

He also wanted to retreat, and also wanted to exchange space for fighters, and divide Wang Jian's 20 army into pieces.

But he couldn't retreat, and he didn't have to retreat, because behind Chen Liu was Chen County, which was safe to defend!
Once Wang Jian's army is brought to Chen County, even if he can finally successfully repel Wang Jian's army, the attack of Wang Ting's center surrounded by enemy troops is enough to damage the vitality of a newly-born separatist dynasty, and all his previous efforts will be paid off Pay it off.

Therefore, Chen Sheng had no choice at all. Even if he had no confidence in winning Wang Jian by half a point, he still had to bite the bullet and prepare to launch the Tiantian Army to fight Wang Jian to the death...

And it is not the first time in the history of Hanting's development that the desperate Saburo's style of fighting in the first battle is the decisive battle!
At the beginning, Chen Sheng had 15 soldiers and horses, and Tu Sui's [-] Yangzhou army was like this.

The same is true for the 15 Red Clothes Army and the 15 Forbidden Army in Yingchuan vs. Zhanghan.

There is no danger to defend, no retreat, no retreat, and only a large army can build a city of flesh and blood to face the incoming enemy army.

In contrast, the Xuzhou war.

Although the Red Second Army was also safe to defend, but because there was sufficient tactical space for the Red Second Army to move around, Chen Sheng calmly showed off a wave of operations, sunk the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army in one wave, and was re-elected. Can't escape!
Administrative location is unfavorable.

The military location is unfavorable.

In terms of transportation, the surrounding area of ​​Chen County may be convenient, but if it is placed in the four states of Hanting, it is nothing!

No matter how hard it is to stay in Chen County, it seems that there is only one reason why it is difficult to leave the homeland.

But just because the homeland is difficult to leave, setting the center of the royal court here is not only irresponsible to himself, but also irresponsible to the 60 troops and tens of millions of people under his command!
Thinking of this, Chen Sheng couldn't help but sighed lightly.

Life is so complicated.

Just because of a thought.

One second ago, no matter how far you go, you will definitely come back to your hometown.

In the next second, it becomes a passerby who will leave no matter how long he stays.

"Then Duke Li looked at it, where is it enough to be the capital of my Han court..."

Chen Sheng glanced at the three states in the south and asked, but before he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed in one place.

Li Si, who was about to clasp his hands to answer, heard Chen Sheng's tone was different, looked up at Chen Sheng in doubt, and saw Chen Sheng's eyes, staring at a certain place on the map of Yangzhou in front of him.

He followed Chen Sheng's gaze and saw that there were three words "Jinling Township" marked there.

'What is this place? '

Li Si racked his brains in confusion for a moment, but was unable to recall the famous place here. In the end, he simply put aside his preconceived preconceptions, and from the perspective of rational judgment, looked around Jinling up and down.

After a while, he nodded secretly: 'Located at the junction of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, not far from Yuzhou, with the Yangtze River as a natural danger and Hefei as a barrier in the distance, it is indeed a good place! '

He was originally going to propose to use "Hefei" as the location of the new capital.

First, Hefei is located in the center of the four states of Yan, Henan, Xu, and Yang. With Hefei as the capital to control the territory of the four states, it has a natural location advantage.

Second, he once read an ancient book, which records that when King Ping was reorganizing the mountains and rivers, the Chu Hou family fled to the Hefei area, which was not called Hefei at that time, and King Ping sent troops to pursue them. He killed King Ping's army and defeated King Ping. In the end, he angered King Ping and sent an army ten times larger than Hefei's Chu army to besiege Hefei in March, starving all the Chu troops in the city to death, and then captured Hefei.

But now it seems that Jinling is more suitable as the capital of Han Dynasty than Hefei.

After all, as the imperial capital of a dynasty, even if it was never attacked by the enemy army, even if it was only approached by the enemy army, it would be an extremely shameful thing.

Putting the capital behind Hefei City, even if there is an enemy army that can break into the territory of Dahan, they must first bite down Hefei before they can reach Jinling City!

"Good place!"

The more Li Si thought about it, the more he felt that this position was wonderful, and he sincerely praised: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and has a unique vision, even if Yao and Shun were alive, this would still be the case!"

Chen Sheng had already stepped over to the top of Jinling Township, moving his eyes to look around, and when he heard Li Si's flattery, he just smiled faintly and did not respond.

He could pick this place, and it has nothing to do with foresight and unique insight?
This is Nanjing, the capital of ten dynasties!
The famous Boss Sun of the Eastern Wu regime took Nanjing, which was called "Jianye" at the time, as the capital. He spent his whole life with Boss Cao, whose military strength was far superior to them. In the end, he even succumbed to Sima Yi, who had killed the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. When he died, he was the last country in the Three Kingdoms to be subjugated.

In the four states of Yan, Henan, Xu, and Yang, can you find a more suitable place to be a capital than Jinlingyi?
Standing on Jinling Township, Chen Sheng turned his head to look around again, the clear line of defense no longer needed him to look for consideration, and automatically appeared in front of him.

The soldiers are divided into three routes: upper, middle and lower.

The middle road was heavily defended against the river, preventing Jingzhou and the northern states from attacking the Han court's henchmen along the waterway, and at the same time cooperating from top to bottom.

On the road, Zhongbingguan defended, and Yanzhou set up checkpoints in the counties bordering Sizhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou. The main force was stationed in Shangqiu, Liang County, and based on the transportation arteries connecting Shangqiu in all directions, Yanzhou was suppressed.

A small number of soldiers and horses are stationed in Luling County in the south of Yangzhou to monitor the movements of Jingzhou and Baiyue people, and in emergencies, as the first line of defense to block the enemy's invasion, and win the Jiangfang army in the middle road. time of support.

Of course, this is the most conservative arrangement. Of course, Chen Sheng still hopes to go to someone else's house to fight...

"Moving the capital is no trivial matter!"

At this moment, Chen Sheng's thoughts are surprisingly clear: "You wait for confidentiality, it is absolutely impossible to leak rumors and cause extravagance... Li Gong!"

Li Si held his hand: "The old minister is here."

Chen Sheng stomped his feet: "The construction of the new capital will be handed over to your Zuo Xiangfu!"

"This matter should not be taken too hastily, so as not to hurt the people's strength!"

"Don't delay too much. If you don't move the capital for a day, it will be difficult for the royal court to have long-term stability."

"It's a good deal, you have to think carefully!"

Li Sichang held his hand: "The minister will do his best and will never teach the king to be disappointed!"

After Chen Sheng pondered for a few breaths, he said again: "In this battle, my Red Army has severely damaged Ji Zhou and Taiping Road, and they should not have the power to make a comeback in a short time. Your Zuo Xiangfu must seize this rare opportunity and hurry up with the people. As for how to do it, your Zuo Prime Minister's office will draft a charter as soon as possible, submit it to my office, and I will review it as soon as possible."

Li Si was refreshed and said in a long voice, "Follow the king's orders!"

Chen Sheng lowered his eyes tiredly and waved his hand: "Chen Feng stay, the rest of the people will go down!"

"The minister retire, long live my king, long live!"

Li Si and a group of spectators bowed and exited the Yanqing Palace.

Chen Sheng beckoned to Chen Feng, who was standing beside him, "Come here!"

Chen Feng took off his boots suspiciously, and walked quickly to Chen Sheng wearing a foot bag.

Chen Sheng leaned into his ear, covered his mouth with one hand and whispered, and tucked an official document into Chen Feng's sleeve with the other.

Chen Feng's eyes gradually straightened, and after secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this won't be a big deal, will it?"

He is in charge of the special operations situation and knows a lot of things that ordinary people don't know.

For example, Li Si and Han Fei mobilized some of the royal court's power to assist Confucian preaching, which was what Chen Feng told Chen Sheng on their way to Yanqing Palace.

Chen Sheng patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, even if someone wants to settle accounts, they must be looking for me!"

Chen Feng glanced at him weakly, and said in a low voice: "The minister is worried about the king. If what Han Xiang said is true, the sage Confucius is now walking in the world..."

Chen Sheng was heartbroken by what he said, but he still bit his head and pretended to be dismissive, and said, "What are you afraid of, it's amazing to beat me!"

　PS1: I have been staying up too late these days, and my state is a bit chaotic, so I only updated it at this time... I'm sorry, gentlemen, kneel!

　　PS2: On the last day of this month, you have the guts to ask for a wave of monthly passes. If you don’t vote for the monthly pass, it will expire~
