I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 548, Liu Bei who is sharpening his knife

Obviously, the generals headed by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are all optimistic about continuing to compete with Dagan in the Central Plains.

And they don't think that Dagan has occupied the land of Qingxu, so it can have much influence on Jiangnan.After all, getting the Land of Qingxu is just icing on the cake for Lei Gong.The growth of the strength of the main army is limited.

Because the following battlefield has reached the south of the Yangtze River, the main force of the war has become the boat division, the mode of the war has completely changed, and the most powerful cavalry has completely lost its effect!

But Liu Bei said: "If you lose Cao Cao, the vassal, the big man will really lose the Central Plains completely, and even lose the power to counterattack Dagan! Cao Cao in the Central Plains, at least restrained Dagan's 30 troops. If I Without the princes like Cao Cao, we will have 30 more enemies when Lei Gong attacks us!"

"And we also have to consider the morale of the soldiers and officials of the common people in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, Cao Cao is a prince who occupies the land of the two states. If he surrenders without a fight and takes the land of the two states to join Lei Gong, it will make the people and officials in the south of the Yangtze River How do you deal with this problem?"

"Even a powerful prince like Cao Cao has surrendered to Lei Gong. Will they think that Dagan is impossible to defeat? Will they follow Cao Cao's example and surrender to Lei Gong without fighting? If the officials, soldiers and people in the south of the Yangtze River are all lost Even if we have the advantage of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River and the danger of the Yangtze River, if the officials, soldiers and common people flee at the wind, we will not be able to defend the south of the Yangtze River.”

For Liu Bei, the greatest significance of Cao Cao in the Central Plains is to retain the sense of presence of the big man in the Central Plains, and at the same time retain a hope of counterattacking the Central Plains.

If Cao Cao were really given up like this, the court in the south of the Yangtze River would really be partial.Local separatist forces, what face do they have to say that the big man is the orthodoxy of the world.

Not to mention the negative impact of surrender, as can be seen from the battle of Sili last year, surrender is contagious. Since Zhang He surrendered, Sili, who is as solid as a thousand miles away, surrendered all the way, even one I didn't insist on it for a month, which is basically the speed of marching, which is equal to the speed of capturing places.Liu Bei does not want such a situation to happen again in Jiangnan.

Everyone felt reasonable when they heard Liu Bei's words.

Although Cao Cao did not send troops to help Yuan Tan last year, in order to guard against Cao Cao, Dagan deployed more than 30 troops to guard against Cao Cao around Qingxu.It has effectively restrained Dagan's military strength. If Yuan Tantai hadn't been pulled down, Sili and Yuzhou would not be so easy to be occupied by Lei Gong!

After pondering for a while, Yuan Ji said: "If the general really wants to fight this battle, the issue of food and grass is the easiest problem to solve. Although Cao Cao said that the land of Qingxu is full of dangers.

But judging from the information we have obtained, Lei Gong has concentrated his energy on his internal affairs for the past six months. It seems that he is doing some new policies. He has no plans to gather troops to attack the land of Qingxu at all, so Cao Cao is safe in the short term. , we have enough time to prepare food supplies. "

"But the difficulty is that we don't have enough money to build all kinds of weapons and equipment. Based on the scale of Lei Gong's battles every time, hundreds of thousands of troops must swarm out when we start a war. Even if we defend at the door , but without preparing enough weapons and equipment for 20 people, various military equipment, it is impossible to severely damage Daqian, and it may even be defeated by Daqian.

And to build so many weapons and equipment, it is impossible to do it without tens of billions of dollars. Last year, the imperial court experienced the battle of Yuzhou, floods, plagues, and spent a huge amount of money to support Cao Cao. Now the imperial court does not have enough money. Support the general to continue fighting.

Moreover, setting the battlefield in Nanyang County is also a big trouble. You must know that Nanyang County is the hometown of emperors. Most of the emperor's heroes are entrusted here, and several queens are also from Nanyang. It can be said that the entire Nanyang County is full of wealthy families. , the general wants to set the battlefield here, I am afraid that these people will not agree. "

After Lei Gong took the initiative to attack these feats, they had no way to stop them, but if Liu Bei dared to take the initiative to lead Lei Gong to attack Nanyang County, even if Liu Bei is now a general, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the spittle of these founding heroes.

But when Liu Bei heard Yuan Jidao's words, his eyes lit up and he said: "My big man has raised them for more than 200 years, and it's time for them to contribute. Isn't it short of tens of billions of war funds? We can definitely learn the method of big work, so that Nanyang County Xungui bought these bonds. With their family wealth, buying tens of billions of bonds should be nothing.

After Dagan's soldiers pointed directly at Jingzhou last year, Nanyang County has become the forefront of the war.

Although Nanyang County is the hometown of emperors, most of them are nobles, founding heroes and descendants. These people used to stomp their feet, and the big men would tremble three times.

But in the face of Lei Gong who ransacked their families and exterminated their families, their identities not only did not become capital to show off, but instead became the source of all evil.

They could only escape across the Yangtze River like refugees and take refuge in Xiangyang County.

The scene at that time was extremely exciting. Each of these people's families had enjoyed wealth for more than 200 years.The accumulated wealth can be described as countless, and the horse-drawn carriages transporting money and treasures of these people formed a long queue, and even blocked the road to Xiangyang City, making it almost difficult for Liu Bei's support troops to join him.

It can be said that the great Han has not yet been severely injured, that is, Nanyang County, and they have not been wiped out by the big cadres, whether it is wealth, land or disciples. It can be said that they are the last powerful nobles of the Great Han.

That's why Liu Bei had the idea of ​​asking them to contribute some money. At this time, the big man only had money and materials like them to support him.

Yuan Ji was surprised and said: "General, I am a big man and Dagan's situation is completely different, we cannot copy Dagan's system!"

But Liu Bei said: "You want to say that after the founding hero of the big man, I have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the big man for 200 years, but I am not as loyal as a few businessmen in the big man. Those businessmen are willing to lend tens of billions to the big man. After the founding hero of the country, he is unwilling to introduce 100 billion to us!"

Yuan Ji smiled wryly and said, "General, these are completely different things!"

Well, this is actually the same thing, but this kind of thing can't be talked about. Dagan is now in full swing, and those businessmen who buy bonds are not a problem, and they can make a little money.

But as far as the current situation of the big man is concerned, it may not be possible to have a big man in 10 years. If you give the people who buy bonds to make money, they may lose all their money. Under such circumstances, how can there be a few people who buy bonds.

Of course, it is difficult for Yuan Ji to say these words clearly, but everyone understands this meaning, chasing ups and downs.It is the mentality of ordinary people to follow the crowd, and his big man belongs to the wave of decline.Not to mention that they took the money because they wanted to destroy these people's hometowns. No normal person would be willing to be taken advantage of like this.
